Hey Joe (where you going with that gun in your hand?) sorry I just want to let you know that I removed your prod from Rob Hague and redirected the page to Smash (band), there are a few refs for that page and he is mentioned in them. J04n( talk page) 19:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Go ahead and delete the article. I created it over four years ago and the nature of my editing has changed over time. I believe I simply wished to create a page where there had been a red link and my hope was that others may be able to develop it, but we are talking about a minor Macedonian political party so there is little information on its leader. He may not even be the leader now. Evlekis (Евлекис) 23:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I tried to put an infobox on the article and it's not "catching". Could you help? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 21:53, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
The article doesn't cite reliable sources to begin with. I've addressed this on the talk page before requesting the deletion. Please see: Talk:Ali Sina (ex-Muslim)#Proposed deletion. Thanks. Al-Andalusi ( talk) 22:19, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Joe, though the press office here at 13th Generation Productions is small, they put up the article. Instead of deleting it why didn't you just find the citing you needed to "legitimize" the article in question. This is Steve Romanko and yeah, it feels like you nominated to delete this article for no really good reason. If you search the internet you could have edited the article to make it compatible with whatever rules are devised. Please put the article back. Unlike some I do not hide behind any walls, you can contact me at stevejr1701@yahoo.com or check my facebook page or the IMDB page or myspace, or our vimeo page or my association with being a film instructor as well as a producer. And yes Joe Decker, you are as careless as you are sloppy about this deletion.

Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom ( talk) 20:46, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi,
there is a request at WP:REFUND to restore an article which you deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adie Harris (footballer). Apparently he is now on a professional team. I don't think the editor is contesting the deletion discussion, they just want permission to restore the one article. If you could drop by the discussion and leave a note that would be great. Thanks.

Hi Joe, don't take this the wrong way but why not just remove the offending paragraph instead of reporting as a potential copyright violation? For most of these cases isn't it easier to just stubify it then add a source? J04n( talk page) 23:27, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. While I am knowledgeable enough in Unicode to search for what the symbol in your sig is (either the atom symbol or a smiley face) I don't have the font to actually display it. What font does that character come from, as I'd like to get it. What I see now is "J[]e" (imagine that as a closed box). Yours is one of only a tiny number of unicodes in signatures that I cannot see. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

why did you delete the SM Masinag Antipolo page ? Do you have evidence that it is not real ? Why dont you try to go to the place and see what's being FINALIZED THERE ? okay ? restore that one. I'm looking forward to it now. -- i AM ROiDOKUN ( talk) 11:32, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes. If you are not customarily logged into the IRC, use this link. This under used resource can allow real time discussion at this particularly timely venture of the trial known as Pending Changes. Even if nothing can come from debating points there, at least this invitation is delivered with the best of intentions and good faith expectations. Kind regards. My76 Strat 08:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I've been to much pushy , I guess. Thanks for restoring the page. That overwhelms. But If you think or If you guys think that the article does not compose of the Wikipedia policies and adequate resources.. Then, I'll be working on this. We'll just have to wait for other online magazines and resources to publish about this mall.
Right now, It is being furbished for final design and indoor matters. I'll take a picture of the construction if i have time to go to the site. By the way, thanks for renaming it as SM Masinag, because our city will have another SM Mall at the city proper, not at the Metro Manila spillover area which is still part of Antipolo City.
Again, Thanks for restoring It! I will work on it now for changes. :) Good Day

Hi Joe. I have a question about Lucy layton... why would we want a redirect like that around? It appears to have been a simple typing error on the part of the creator, who attempted to fix it with a copy-paste move. I'm not complaining, I just want to better understand in case my CSD tagging was incorrect. Thanks, 28bytes ( talk) 22:34, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Joe. I don't believe we have encountered each other before this. Say, I notice you accepted some changes to the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant article. You may want to review those, as there was an awkward ref embedded in the article in the 'Effect on employees and residents' section, and the edits include non Wikipedia formatting. That ref has since been pulled out. I was about to reject the edits when you accepted, but that might be a good thing, as with some work they could be a net plus. It's still a bit awkward, as the contributor seems quite green. I'll watchlist your talk page if you'd like to reply here. Thanks, Jus da fax 22:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
hi. could you please take a view on whether there should be a separate section on evacuations or whether info about evacuations should be dispersed through the text.

I'm really new in this Wikipedia article making and I was wondering what am I going to do so that the Charlie Puth article won't be deleted? What other sources/things are needed? Hoping you'd tell me so I could fix it before it gets removed. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buttersette ( talk • contribs) 15:04, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
I perfectly understood why. I'm sorry. Thanks for being a nice editor. I didn't make that article. I just wanted Charlie Puth (a musician/Youtube vlogger) to have an article here just like Shane Dawson (another Youtube vlogger). Speaking of Shane Dawson, why is his article approved? That's probably going to be my last question. Hope it wouldn't be too much to ask, since you seem pretty busy checking other articles, here and there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buttersette ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Joe, I saw you declined the BLPPROD on Vasily Shevtsov. I was the person who tagged that article and at the time I did see there was an imdb reference, which as you said in your decline is not a reliable source. I've seen your work in relation to BLPs at WP:URBLP, so I assume that you are correct. However, on the WP:BLPPROD page, in the objecting section, "to be canceled, this process requires the presence of at least one reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the biography. Do not remove the {{prod blp}} until the biography has at least one such source" (my underlining). So, I'm a little confused. Could you please point me to where it says that an article can't be deleted under BLPPROD when it only contains an unreliable source(s). Cheers, Jenks24 ( talk) 00:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
so I'm presenting you with a brand new chisel, to help you to continue to chip away at the CAT:BLP pile, especially as part of WP:URBLPR. Your work is greatly appreciated! The-Pope ( talk) 23:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Joe - was disappointed to see you took down the page about my political work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A_Paquin_III I also noticed you followed speedy deletion criteria, however my page doesnt even come close into falling under those guidelines.

I backed into this one while working on files: Ian Zachary Whittingham. There are quite a few claims that appear to be peacocks and have no sources. Not much in the way of any RS.

Won't be working on anything until this is resolved. Can't find another way to list the music on an album or CD without using the list that's on the media.

the template message says 'if you can address this concern..' but it doesn't say what the concern is.

Just an FYI, User:Imersion is not happy with the results of the AfD for Ideal wealth distribution. I pointed them you asking for a review and/or DRV. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 04:19, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Anyway, I don't want to reopen th discussion or re-instate the article. My experience with it has been too humiliating. I tried to reinstate the article several times, but, as I said on the talk page of those attempted reinstatements (which no one apparently read) , I was only trying to get to the discussion page for Ideal wealth distribution. I inadvertently thought that the discussion for the deletion reasons were on thetalk page fo rthe article. I did not know that there was discussion going on on the deletion page. The whole process is a bureaucratic nightmare for a novice and I hav enot gone through it before. So I was simply trying to reinstate that page. Then I discovered I could actually protest the deletion, whoopee!! and os I tried that; but NOW that still makes no sense to m since there is still no discussion. sO, AS i SAID, i JUST WANT TO DroP IT. However I would like to get back to the discussion I had with opnfuture so I can understand this process a bit better; and because of the ignorance of his comments in case there is a next occasion.
My complaint with openfuture is that he and I were having a discussion adn yet he saw that our discussion was on an irrlevant page that was going to get deleted and woudl not affect any one else's decision. He could have pointed this out o me with a small amount of courtesy, but he gleefully insulted my ability as a psychologist nd ALL psychologists in connection with economics. He seems to be ignorant of the wide spread praise for behavioral economists or behavioral finance researchers such as
Daniel Kahneman ( a psychologist) who won the nobel prize in economics. I would like to have that discussion in case he pursues this issue into other irrelevant areas. In my opinion OpenFuture was nasty in his reckless dismissal of psychologissts. If you look at my user space, you will see that that is all there is on it, and he did look at that and then made some (to my mind) deliberately abusive comments. Actually he seems not to understand the difference between pushing a POV and talking about it; or somehting like that; since I really can't understand his POV (especially about psychologists!)
Anyway, I do want to get and keep his commentary but I hav e no interest in pursuing the ideal wealth distribution article in the face of such uninformed hostility. So If you can, please delete it but please help me get the commentary back for the record. By the way, someone else joined the discussion there modestly supporting my position, but I cannot remember who - perhaps PAR (user gogo dodo or something like that affirmed it was user:PAR so I guess he can somehow look at the deleted page's discussion section even though I don't know how). None of this showed up on the crucial deletion page, of course, so it didn't affect the discussion. I am vain enough to think that someone might have been persuaded if I had been able to get to that page.but that it water undre the bridge now -- I just wan tthe discusssion.... Thanks. Imersion ( talk) 21:37, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Thnaks, that is all pretty good, but your advice is off the mark. My interest is in improving NPOV, not going after the this article. I suspect that this is a very general problem with social science concepts and with the fundamental cocnept of value judgments in Wiki. Anyway, I liek real examples and this is a good one; so I don't want to continue the dispute; just use this example, and I am even happy to anonymize it without reference to the user involved. However, it was a public discussion, so I see no reason why I should not have access to he content. SDo please post it. Imersion ( talk) 12:10, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
{{wp:drv]] is a mess. Really disorganized. Any newbie approaching his will have heart failure. What are the templates for? Someone threw them in without any explanation at all. There is no index.

What font does that character come from, as I'd like to get it. What I see now is "J[]e" (imagine that as a closed box). Yours is one of only a tiny number of unicodes in signatures that I cannot see. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Joe, I just want to point out that the CV-tag you added to the article about Liat Cohen has been removed. Cheers Tooga - BØRK! 17:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
why did you delete the SM Masinag Antipolo page ? Do you have evidence that it is not real ? Why dont you try to go to the place and see what's being FINALIZED THERE ? okay ? restore that one. I'm looking forward to it now. -- i AM ROiDOKUN ( talk) 11:32, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Because I have noticed you commenting at the current RfC regarding Pending Changes, I wanted to invite you to the IRC channel for pending changes. If you are not customarily logged into the IRC, use this link. This under used resource can allow real time discussion at this particularly timely venture of the trial known as Pending Changes. Even if nothing can come from debating points there, at least this invitation is delivered with the best of intentions and good faith expectations. Kind regards. My76 Strat 08:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, I've been to much pushy , I guess. Thanks for restoring the page. That overwhelms. But If you think or If you guys think that the article does not compose of the Wikipedia policies and adequate resources.. Then, I'll be working on this. We'll just have to wait for other online magazines and resources to publish about this mall.
Right now, It is being furbished for final design and indoor matters. I'll take a picture of the construction if i have time to go to the site. By the way, thanks for renaming it as SM Masinag, because our city will have another SM Mall at the city proper, not at the Metro Manila spillover area which is still part of Antipolo City.
Again, Thanks for restoring It! I will work on it now for changes. :) Good Day

Hi Joe. I have a question about Lucy layton... why would we want a redirect like that around? It appears to have been a simple typing error on the part of the creator, who attempted to fix it with a copy-paste move. I'm not complaining, I just want to better understand in case my CSD tagging was incorrect. Thanks, 28bytes ( talk) 22:34, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Joe. I don't believe we have encountered each other before this. Say, I notice you accepted some changes to the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant article. You may want to review those, as there was an awkward ref embedded in the article in the 'Effect on employees and residents' section, and the edits include non Wikipedia formatting. That ref has since been pulled out. I was about to reject the edits when you accepted, but that might be a good thing, as with some work they could be a net plus. It's still a bit awkward, as the contributor seems quite green. I'll watchlist your talk page if you'd like to reply here. Thanks, Jus da fax 22:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
hi. could you please take a view on whether there should be a separate section on evacuations or whether info about evacuations should be dispersed through the text.

I'm really new in this Wikipedia article making and I was wondering what am I going to do so that the Charlie Puth article won't be deleted? What other sources/things are needed? Hoping you'd tell me so I could fix it before it gets removed. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buttersette ( talk • contribs) 15:04, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
I perfectly understood why. I'm sorry. Thanks for being a nice editor. I didn't make that article. I just wanted Charlie Puth (a musician/Youtube vlogger) to have an article here just like Shane Dawson (another Youtube vlogger). Speaking of Shane Dawson, why is his article approved? That's probably going to be my last question. Hope it wouldn't be too much to ask, since you seem pretty busy checking other articles, here and there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buttersette ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Is anyone working from the other mistagged list Wikipedia:Mistagged BLP cleanup/All with EL and ref ?

Hi Joe, I saw you declined the BLPPROD on Vasily Shevtsov. I was the person who tagged that article and at the time I did see there was an imdb reference, which as you said in your decline is not a reliable source. I've seen your work in relation to BLPs at WP:URBLP, so I assume that you are correct. However, on the WP:BLPPROD page, in the objecting section, "to be canceled, this process requires the presence of at least one reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the biography. Do not remove the {{prod blp}} until the biography has at least one such source" (my underlining). So, I'm a little confused. Could you please point me to where it says that an article can't be deleted under BLPPROD when it only contains an unreliable source(s). Cheers, Jenks24 ( talk) 00:25, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
so I'm presenting you with a brand new chisel, to help you to continue to chip away at the CAT:BLP pile, especially as part of WP:URBLPR. Your work is greatly appreciated! The-Pope ( talk) 23:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Joe - was disappointed to see you took down the page about my political work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A_Paquin_III I also noticed you followed speedy deletion criteria, however my page doesnt even come close into falling under those guidelines.

When you click the Edit History tab of a page, there is a section where you can see the "number of watchers" that the page has (i.e., the number of users who have listed that page on their Watch List).

I backed into this one while working on files: Ian Zachary Whittingham. There are quite a few claims that appear to be peacocks and have no sources. Not much in the way of any RS.

Hi Joe Decker, and thanks for

I'll try to make this a bit clearer. As the references show
Neoglyphea neocaledonica has been re-classified as
Laurentaeglyphea neocaledonica. Before I came along:
Now here's where the problems begin.
The solutions, as I see them, are:
While I do see the merits of the first solution, I would much prefer the second.

Promised you the next one, but had no idea it would directly involve me: Introducing Jo Stafford. VW Bot began tagging 4/24 and have seen other editors with new music pages get tagged also. Won't be working on anything until this is resolved. Can't find another way to list the music on an album or CD without using the list that's on the media.

the template message says 'if you can address this concern..' but it doesn't say what the concern is. The article is just a stub-by one, it can be added to, it is not in desperate need of deletion I don't think, it just says Gaucher is a leading authority on Therese of Lisieux and adds a litle biographical info - its very insubstantial I agree,is that the concern? but I don't see it is particularly crying out to be deleted. what is the concern exactly?

Hi, I've redirected this back to BBC Sport as she's definitely not notable enough for her own article, but it could be a useful redirect.

Just an FYI, User:Imersion is not happy with the results of the AfD for Ideal wealth distribution. I pointed them you asking for a review and/or DRV. -- Gogo Dodo ( talk) 04:19, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Anyway, I don't want to reopen th discussion or re-instate the article. My experience with it has been too humiliating. I tried to reinstate the article several times, but, as I said on the talk page of those attempted reinstatements (which no one apparently read) , I was only trying to get to the discussion page for Ideal wealth distribution. I inadvertently thought that the discussion for the deletion reasons were on thetalk page fo rthe article. I did not know that there was discussion going on on the deletion page. The whole process is a bureaucratic nightmare for a novice and I hav enot gone through it before. So I was simply trying to reinstate that page. Then I discovered I could actually protest the deletion, whoopee!! and os I tried that; but NOW that still makes no sense to m since there is still no discussion. sO, AS i SAID, i JUST WANT TO DroP IT. However I would like to get back to the discussion I had with opnfuture so I can understand this process a bit better; and because of the ignorance of his comments in case there is a next occasion.
My complaint with openfuture is that he and I were having a discussion adn yet he saw that our discussion was on an irrlevant page that was going to get deleted and woudl not affect any one else's decision. He could have pointed this out o me with a small amount of courtesy, but he gleefully insulted my ability as a psychologist nd ALL psychologists in connection with economics. He seems to be ignorant of the wide spread praise for behavioral economists or behavioral finance researchers such as
Daniel Kahneman ( a psychologist) who won the nobel prize in economics. I would like to have that discussion in case he pursues this issue into other irrelevant areas. In my opinion OpenFuture was nasty in his reckless dismissal of psychologissts. If you look at my user space, you will see that that is all there is on it, and he did look at that and then made some (to my mind) deliberately abusive comments. Actually he seems not to understand the difference between pushing a POV and talking about it; or somehting like that; since I really can't understand his POV (especially about psychologists!)
Anyway, I do want to get and keep his commentary but I hav e no interest in pursuing the ideal wealth distribution article in the face of such uninformed hostility. So If you can, please delete it but please help me get the commentary back for the record. By the way, someone else joined the discussion there modestly supporting my position, but I cannot remember who - perhaps PAR (user gogo dodo or something like that affirmed it was user:PAR so I guess he can somehow look at the deleted page's discussion section even though I don't know how). None of this showed up on the crucial deletion page, of course, so it didn't affect the discussion. I am vain enough to think that someone might have been persuaded if I had been able to get to that page.but that it water undre the bridge now -- I just wan tthe discusssion.... Thanks.

Thnaks, that is all pretty good, but your advice is off the mark. My interest is in improving NPOV, not going after the this article. I suspect that this is a very general problem with social science concepts and with the fundamental cocnept of value judgments in Wiki. Anyway, I liek real examples and this is a good one; so I don't want to continue the dispute; just use this example, and I am even happy to anonymize it without reference to the user involved. However, it was a public discussion, so I see no reason why I should not have access to he content. SDo please post it. Imersion ( talk) 12:10, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
{{wp:drv]] is a mess. Really disorganized. Any newbie approaching his will have heart failure. What are the templates for? Someone threw them in without any explanation at all. There is no index. Underlines the silliness of the WIKI policy of keping pages too long.
