Think this is speediable per
WP:CSD#G6? I see no reason to drag it out for the full five days of an AfD — after all, if it's unanimous that the artist isn't notable, then in theory, it would also be unanimous that their album isn't notable either, right? Therefore, I would feel that this would fall under "non-controversial".

Hi -- I'm sorry if I'm not doing this exactly right, not a wiki expert. I was surprised to see that the Most_Great_Name page was deleted. The issue seems to have been a lack of English-language sources, but there is a publisher who is now producing translations of some famous Medieval texts that expressed the belief that these symbols represent the "Ismul Azam," the Greatest Name of God. This legitimately was a belief held by occultists throughout the Middle Ages. Here is one quote from Nineveh Shadrach's book *Love, Healing, Prosperity* pp. 83-84 (Shadrach, Nineveh. 2006. Love Healing Prosperity: Through the Occult Powers of the Alphabet. Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada: Ishtar Publishing.):
It is considered the greatest name of the Divine and the seal of King Solomon... Research shows that they were applied and used in magic from early Jewish times and found on vases dating back to before the birth of Christ. They were used by the earliest Jewish occultists as a tool to raise and ascend their souls up to the Throne of God.
Then the series of symbols is shown on page 84 (you can see for yourself using the "search in this book" feature on amazon.com)

I would appreciate your feedback, and some contributions if you have the time. Thanks a lot! MedRevise ( talk) 18:25, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Your recently reverted an IP edit on the article. I just wanted to inform you that the IP was actually helping Wikipedia by trying to provide readers with a warning. The real vandalism was incured by OnurRC. Please, it would be nice of you just to post a quick 'sorry' message on the IP page, as he/she may have taken it personally. While I'm here, I request you warn/temporarily ban the above mentioned user. Why? I told him before not to hide a mugging link on that page, and against my advice he went and did it again. More strict action needs to be taken. Regards, A Prodigy ~In Pursuit of Perfection~ 16:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi! I have just noticed that someone had placed a deletion tag on the article "Techniche" which now has been deleted. I don't think that he checked the history of the article before placing that tag. A deletion tag had been placed on it long time back and successfully defended[ [2]]. It was given on the page that the event is held during this time of the year, so the persons responsible for the Wikipedia entry were not present to defend the deletion this time round.
But, I'm very sure that after going through the earlier deletion logs, someone can un-delete it because its Wikipedia's responsibility as the person responsible didn't go through the article history properly.
This is one more reason something better be done about it[ [3]]. You can clearly notice that one red entry which has got deleted because one can't always be present to defend deletions on Wikipedia. I think its also the responsibility of the "deletion tagger" to go through the article history properly!

Hi. I was wondering if I could trouble you with a proofreading request on the article Walter-Patrice O'Leary. I created the article using as the primary source an entry from L'Encyclopédie de la Francophonie. However, I am not actually fluent in French, so while I can translate basic information, many of the nuances of the language are lost to me. I am asking you because I noticed that you are a member of WikiProject Quebec (the article is within the scope of the WikiProject) and have indicated that French is your native tongue. Would you take a look at the article? – Black Falcon ( Talk) 23:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Logo erabliere.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Any questions, concerns and other fluff...
I'm curious, and a bit disconcerted, that you consider questions and concerns to be "fluff." If they are, then what is "substantial"?
I'm also wondering why I've been blocked for "vandalism." I've been posting information that someone doesn't like, but if this is truly a user-created site, difference of opinion shouldn't be sufficient to block a member. It would never occur to me to report for vandalism, or ask to have blocked, the person who keeps removing what I've posted.
I am as far from a vandal as you will ever encounter, but I do reserve the right to edit a page if I think further information is germane to the subject, even if another reader doesn't agree with me. That is the meaning of "user-created," isn't it? I can keep posting, s/he can keep removing it, and we can go on thus forever, but why should I be accused of vandalism any more than the person who removes what I've written?
And for the administration of the site to block me for "vandalism" without a word to me or any opportunity for me to respond to whatever charges have been made is unconscionable and makes me wonder just how "wiki" this site really is.
Penguinlady ( talk) 19:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I have not found any evidence of you being blocked under that username so as far as I know you have never being blocked. The edit you made yesterday was reverted as it was content about some rumors which were not supported by a source at all. Generally rumours, possibilities, controversies or claims must be supported by sources to avoid libel or
WP:BLP violations. As for fluff I meant like congratulations, awards/barnstars, thanks messages, etc.--
JForget 22:05, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
When I went to the page in question and tried to edit, I got a screen saying I'd been blocked, and inside the box it said "vandalism."
I continue to make that edit because there is a substantial body of evidence in support of my statement, including letters written by the subject of the article. She has been dead for nearly 200 years, so libel isn't an issue. Extensive research that supports what I'm trying to post has been done by the author of one of the books cited at the bottom of that page.
Without my edit, a significant episode in the life of the subject of the article is never even mentioned, and the article is thereby incomplete and not useful to the reader. My edit doesn't claim it as fact, but as speculation heavily supported by scholarly research, and as such, deserves mention.
And again, despite the four tildes, my name appears here...

Sorry, this is a pet peeve. You reverted the vandal edit by Hackman199, but the version you reverted to was that left by Tonytraj in the previous five edits. I ask around but apparently there is no tool to make it any easier to find all the (prior) bad edits. I just worry the tools that exist make it too easy to go fast. Maybe go slower depending on the article? Like on Allah or Pope John Paul II, but Yam... zoom? Shenme ( talk) 00:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that, it is rare that more then one registered user do vandalism consecutively before reverts.
Pop-ups might be the best tool of all for that situation,. However I believe Huggle uses it but looking the contribs from Huggle reverters the tool is going way too fast with 50+ edits in less then 5 minutes in some cases compared to myself doing that much 4x slower. Good thing I don't use Huggle. With the IPs it's easier though. JForget 01:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I just ran into the List of Gujjars when going through candidates for speedy deletion. The tagged version was obviously a big mess, but as I looked through the deleted revisions I found one that I thought was worth keeping (although it obviously needs better sourcing). I noticed that all the afd-comments made after the big cleanup were along the line of "categories are better for organizing such information" which is contrary to what Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates says (categories and lists are allowed to coexist and overlap). Since you closed the AfD I'm interested to hear what you think. Have a good day/ Pax:Vobiscum ( talk) 19:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to redirect "Ibn Bazzaz" to Ebn Bazzaz, and I realized that Ibn Bazzaz is salted (it had been speedy deleted 3 times based on A7). Please unlock it.

The three of you have accused me of "vandalism". Fine, that's your opinion, you can have it. But you cannot have your version of the facts Look at the comments that you three have left me:
When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. Please do not remove content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to Poughkeepsie (city), New York. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing.
Your allegations are provably FALSE. I NEVER FUCKING ONCE MADE AN EDIT WITHOUT EXPLANATION OR SPECIFYING A REASON. What is more, I made this point twice, and you CONTINUED to ignore me.
Is it too much to ask that you follow your own fucking advice and leave edit summarys (not those automated things) and even more importantly, READ the edit summaries of those whom your accusing of vandalism?

You always beat me to updating that article by about 5 minutes, no matter what. You, sir, are a machine! - Running On Brains 14:04, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I thought you might be interested in this, since you are medically active here on wikipedia. With a colleague I have set up a Medical Revision website, called MedRevise.co.uk. It is not trying to compete with Wikipedia, but trying to be something else useful, different and fun. If you are interested, please read our philosophy and just have a little look at our site. I would appreciate your feedback, and some contributions if you have the time. Thanks a lot! MedRevise ( talk) 18:25, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Your recently reverted an IP edit on the article. I just wanted to inform you that the IP was actually helping Wikipedia by trying to provide readers with a warning. The real vandalism was incured by OnurRC. Please, it would be nice of you just to post a quick 'sorry' message on the IP page, as he/she may have taken it personally. While I'm here, I request you warn/temporarily ban the above mentioned user. Why? I told him before not to hide a mugging link on that page, and against my advice he went and did it again. More strict action needs to be taken. Regards, A Prodigy ~In Pursuit of Perfection~ 16:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi! I have just noticed that someone had placed a deletion tag on the article "Techniche" which now has been deleted. I don't think that he checked the history of the article before placing that tag. A deletion tag had been placed on it long time back and successfully defended[ [2]]. It was given on the page that the event is held during this time of the year, so the persons responsible for the Wikipedia entry were not present to defend the deletion this time round.
But, I'm very sure that after going through the earlier deletion logs, someone can un-delete it because its Wikipedia's responsibility as the person responsible didn't go through the article history properly.
This is one more reason something better be done about it[ [3]]. You can clearly notice that one red entry which has got deleted because one can't always be present to defend deletions on Wikipedia. I think its also the responsibility of the "deletion tagger" to go through the article history properly!
I didn't who to talk about this thing, so I am messaging you. Thanks for your help. -- Sainik1 ( talk) 21:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering if I could trouble you with a proofreading request on the article Walter-Patrice O'Leary. I created the article using as the primary source an entry from L'Encyclopédie de la Francophonie. However, I am not actually fluent in French, so while I can translate basic information, many of the nuances of the language are lost to me. I am asking you because I noticed that you are a member of WikiProject Quebec (the article is within the scope of the WikiProject) and have indicated that French is your native tongue. Would you take a look at the article? – Black Falcon ( Talk) 23:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Logo erabliere.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Any questions, concerns and other fluff...
I'm curious, and a bit disconcerted, that you consider questions and concerns to be "fluff." If they are, then what is "substantial"?
I'm also wondering why I've been blocked for "vandalism." I've been posting information that someone doesn't like, but if this is truly a user-created site, difference of opinion shouldn't be sufficient to block a member. It would never occur to me to report for vandalism, or ask to have blocked, the person who keeps removing what I've posted.
I am as far from a vandal as you will ever encounter, but I do reserve the right to edit a page if I think further information is germane to the subject, even if another reader doesn't agree with me. That is the meaning of "user-created," isn't it? I can keep posting, s/he can keep removing it, and we can go on thus forever, but why should I be accused of vandalism any more than the person who removes what I've written?
And for the administration of the site to block me for "vandalism" without a word to me or any opportunity for me to respond to whatever charges have been made is unconscionable and makes me wonder just how "wiki" this site really is.
Penguinlady ( talk) 19:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
I have not found any evidence of you being blocked under that username so as far as I know you have never being blocked. The edit you made yesterday was reverted as it was content about some rumors which were not supported by a source at all. Generally rumours, possibilities, controversies or claims must be supported by sources to avoid libel or
WP:BLP violations. As for fluff I meant like congratulations, awards/barnstars, thanks messages, etc.--
JForget 22:05, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
When I went to the page in question and tried to edit, I got a screen saying I'd been blocked, and inside the box it said "vandalism."
I continue to make that edit because there is a substantial body of evidence in support of my statement, including letters written by the subject of the article. She has been dead for nearly 200 years, so libel isn't an issue. Extensive research that supports what I'm trying to post has been done by the author of one of the books cited at the bottom of that page.
Without my edit, a significant episode in the life of the subject of the article is never even mentioned, and the article is thereby incomplete and not useful to the reader. My edit doesn't claim it as fact, but as speculation heavily supported by scholarly research, and as such, deserves mention.
And again, despite the four tildes, my name appears here...

Thanks for uploading
Image:Logo-carrefour.GIF. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).

Sorry, this is a pet peeve. You reverted the vandal edit by Hackman199, but the version you reverted to was that left by Tonytraj in the previous five edits. I ask around but apparently there is no tool to make it any easier to find all the (prior) bad edits. I just worry the tools that exist make it too easy to go fast. Maybe go slower depending on the article? Like on Allah or Pope John Paul II, but Yam... zoom? Shenme ( talk) 00:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that, it is rare that more then one registered user do vandalism consecutively before reverts.
Pop-ups might be the best tool of all for that situation,. However I believe Huggle uses it but looking the contribs from Huggle reverters the tool is going way too fast with 50+ edits in less then 5 minutes in some cases compared to myself doing that much 4x slower. Good thing I don't use Huggle. With the IPs it's easier though. JForget 01:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I just ran into the List of Gujjars when going through candidates for speedy deletion. The tagged version was obviously a big mess, but as I looked through the deleted revisions I found one that I thought was worth keeping (although it obviously needs better sourcing). I noticed that all the afd-comments made after the big cleanup were along the line of "categories are better for organizing such information" which is contrary to what Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates says (categories and lists are allowed to coexist and overlap). Since you closed the AfD I'm interested to hear what you think. Have a good day/ Pax:Vobiscum ( talk) 19:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to redirect "Ibn Bazzaz" to Ebn Bazzaz, and I realized that Ibn Bazzaz is salted (it had been speedy deleted 3 times based on A7). Please unlock it. I assume that the page you deleted had not cited Encyclopedia Iranica, but anyway, it doesn't make much sense to use A7 for speedy deletion of a page relating to someone who lived in 14th century AD.

Hi! I've recently been working on merging a bunch of Dungeons & Dragons-related articles together so that there aren't as many smaller, stub-length articles, and I was wondering if you could restore the edit histories of some more articles that were deleted so that I could merge the content. The articles in question are The Glutton and Gelf Darkhearth; they could both be redirected to Gnome deities. Thanks! - Drilnoth ( talk) 15:00, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

The three of you have accused me of "vandalism". Fine, that's your opinion, you can have it. But you cannot have your version of the facts Look at the comments that you three have left me:
When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. Please do not remove content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to Poughkeepsie (city), New York. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing.
Your allegations are provably FALSE. I NEVER FUCKING ONCE MADE AN EDIT WITHOUT EXPLANATION OR SPECIFYING A REASON. What is more, I made this point twice, and you CONTINUED to ignore me.
Is it too much to ask that you follow your own fucking advice and leave edit summarys (not those automated things) and even more importantly, READ the edit summaries of those whom your accusing of vandalism?
