Thanks for your explanation on Whitelist. Is it possible to get out of the Whitelist? If yes, how to do it? Thanks John! Aceshowbiz ( talk) 14:28, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
It is referenced - I backed up the statement about the conductor's background in contemporary music and left standing the tone that Wikipedia had already let be in their own article about Lou Calabro.
By the way, Sage City Symphony is listed in two existing Wiki pages and marked in red - I assume that means it wants this page to be made. On Calabro's page it is listed as the orchestra he started in 1973, on Marta Ptaszynska's Wiki page it is listed with the commission that she did for us. You need a couple more orchestras done for her too. Another of our composers who gave us a commissioned work has a Wiki page, Susan Hurley, though her Wiki page (and her entire focus re online currency) is in need of work.
One comment about the formatting for composers of classical music - it is the wild west in Wiki. Some of the pages have well-ordered lists of compositions, with good comment on the work, and some use the older in-line encyclopedia style with little musical dialogue. As a result it is not possible for all links within Wiki to turn up the same quality of information about classical works of music (contemporary or older). Wiki would be well served by finding an editor who knows classical music and could set up a template or two.
Finally, I want to mention something that is an increasing problem for everyone over here when it comes to retrieving older news articles. The trend is now for newspapers in their online presence to make customers register and pay to get to archived articles. Even if I popped in a link to older articles it wouldn't allow anyone to see them, and no one is microfiching news stories any more either so they aren't retrievable that way. That is the reason you are seeing a lot of discussion of past performances from liner notes of recordings on the composers' pages. Those links tend to stay around.
Anyway - the message says the page got moved out. Hopefully I am understanding this correctly. I am still not finding it easy to sort out these screens. Wiki has gotten a bunch messier since I did the internal one to document my SQL calls when I was working a day job.

Thanks for the quick reply. I get it and would like it very well if someone saw ways to improve or jumped out from the wilds of Vermont to add stuff to the page for Sage City Symphony, especially some of the composers and older players who have paper materials in file cabinet drawers that haven't been cleaned up in 20 years. Musical groups were a bit all over the place too - I tried to hit the parts that would be most informative for someone new to the topic but am not sure I hit it. Re linkrot - I regularly run the external links on the organization's web site, expect that would be normal maintenance for anyone to do for Wiki pages as well. Thanks for the info on that group re musical entries. I'll have a while before they get this cast off my wrist so I might look in on the dialogue.

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination/SFSU Class Project and consider adding your name.
The scope of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination/SFSU Class Project is mainly concerned with new articles.
According to the teacher's instructions, this group of students may not create a lot of new articles, but may instead focus more on improving existing articles.
So, there may be little for us to do in the way the Wikipedia:WikiProject China/NNU Class Project required. The students may, however, still call on us for guidance in other areas. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 09:15, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi there
There has been "interesting" activity on a page that I frequently update and keep an eye on Iain Benson. A user, who appears to have changed his user name three times, added two banners questioning the neutrality of the article and the notablity of the subject. I have removed both banners as they called for discussion on the talk page and there was none provided.
More concerning however are the statements made next to the edits that remain in the edit history. The user states that Iain Benson is not a professor and asserts this more than once - although he reverted his own edit later on this possibly after having checked the references. He also claims that the article is for commercial promotion and that he is a minor legal figure, essentially advertising. I see these as borderline libellous comments as they remain in the history and are not backed up.
This subject is a personal interest area of mine, related to the area of religious rights and freedoms and their protection under law. I am currently developing an article on the South African Charter of Religious Rights and Freedoms and will be looking at further articles relating to this topic. The article on Prof Benson is neither propoganda, nor advertising as claimed. If appearing not neutral, it is most likely because no-one has had anything negative to say regarding the subject. It is written in a neutral style and has been upgraded to a C class biographical article meeting all the criteria for notability. Prof Benson is also included in the most recent edition of Canadian Who's Who.
Is it possible to have the comments removed from the article history given the aspect of defamation? Also, if this user decides to put up the banners again, what is the correct procedure?
I will also refer this to -- Orange Mike but would apprecitate any help or advice here. ( Ewooll ( talk) 01:27, 15 October 2011 (UTC))

Hi JohnCD,
today I created a page for the band CANE! then it got deleted as you requested. I'd like to have an explanation for what happened. All the informations I wrote on the page were taken from CANE! official website (cane.boredyouth.org). I read why it got canceled (G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion) but I was just wondering if I can still use the references from the band website, quoting them, or if I have to rewrite the whole article describing it from another point of view.
I'm looking forward to your reply
Thank you
I observe that you have already warned this person about conflict of Interest.
This user has continued to spam articles by adding lists of books by the particular author Lina Murr Nehme. It is done in a rather sneaky manner. The references and links to the author's books are not added to the "Reference" or "Additional reading" sections but always to the "See also", and sometimes with the same book appearing as many as five times under different guises. All the links lead to the single page Lina Murr Nehme.
Are you and admin? There are so many of these references that tracking them down and reverting them is wasting time that I could spend more profitably on an article.
The problem is that since they are referencing an article that is within Wiki, it does not exactly fit the definition of spamming, although the intention and effect is the same.

I have one question: Do I have the right to prepare an article in my own folder? And what should I do to avoid being removed and not reported as spam.
It's bulk work. All the problems started from the bulk deletion of my articles.
And another thing: I now understand what to do. But could you kindly see World Marketplace article and tell me what is not good there what can be done to improve this article and bring it back into it's place. I'm not going to dispute with 3 users at 1 time. Most likely they can win.

Now you may ask "Why isn't it a copywrite." My reason. First of all Iwrote King of the Asian Pond and I decided to put it on wikipedia. Second of all although the website is'nt 100% mine it is share by me and one other person, who gave me permission to put it on his blog. Also it was on my blog called" Betta World" and if you look hard you will find it. So to your suprise I'll bet it wasn't a copywrite. Beta123210 ( talk) 15:22, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for deleting the printer pics just now. I have a real concern about the number of Indian university students who are uploading copyright text and images to Wikipedia. It seems that they aren't given the proper guidance - or they are ignoring that guidance. Because they are students I think they are given too easy a ride and are not subject to the same level of sanction as a regular editor would be.

John,
It would be nice if you could inform me what content could be added to make the page in compliance with rule A7 and give me a chance to edit it such that it would comply. Many articles about life science research products companies only discuss the company and its brands, and I don't see why a private company should be essentially deemed less important just because there isn't publicly available numbers on financials or a stock ticker to back it up.

Are there any circumstances when it is acceptable to make reference to a Youtube video? A Ph.D researcher presented findings that are contained in a book that is referenced in the Wikipedia article that I wish to edit. Not everyone has access to that book, but a summary of his findings can be found in a Youtube video. I wish to add a line to the Wikipedia page that discusses his research, stating that " Unsolved Mysteries published a video illustrating some of his photographs and findings." The Youtube video contains a 5-minute excerpt of that Unsolved Mysteries episode in which his findings are graphically illustrated. Would it be copyright infringement for me to make a reference to that Youtube video? I understand that the Youtube user who uploaded that excerpt might have had to obtain permissions in order to do so. I do not know if he has or if he has not. Wouldn't that be something that Youtube and/or the Unsolved Mysteries publisher would have to address with the Youtube user who uploaded that excerpt (that is, if they do not already have an agreement that I just don't know about), anyway?

Hi JohnCD. Thanks for deleting the Ziddi razan article. Would you consider salting it too? The article was recreated after an AfD and has been subject to apparent sockpuppet activity. I don't see any likely prospect of a compliant article being created about this subject and it is likely to be recreated, based on past form.

Hello JohnCD. Regarding Huey Lewis & the News, a redirect I had requested to be deleted, you declined with the reason given: "target of redirect has not been deleted or tagged for speedy". I do not contend the target should be deleted but rather that it should be moved over the redirect, itself becoming a redirect to what is the correct and proper name and title for the ensemble. A search at Allmusic.com using the current title shows the artist not found[Hueyallmusic.com/search/artist/huey+lewis+and+the+news] with an option to choose the correct possible match [4]. I am fairly certain the redirect carries the title which should be home for the subject rather than to redirect it to an improper title. My76Strat ( talk) 21:09, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi John, I am a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador for the Housing and Social Policy course that is participating in Wikipedia's United States Education Program. You deleted a student's sandbox the other day, citing that it blatantly plagiarized material. The student has the citations and was going to put them in, but thought that because the material was in the sandbox, it could sit there as she continued to work on the article. Would you please consider restoring it so that she can add the citations and finish this as part of her class project? Thank you for your consideration. This is the first time most of these students are working with Wikipedia articles. I, the other campus ambassador for this class, and the instructor are monitoring the content as well. We appreciate your vigilance for keeping inappropriate material off of Wikipedia. Thanks again for considering my request on behalf of this student.

The Article Creation Flow mock up was quickly put together by Brandon Harris as a peace offering after he rejected the strong Wikipedia consensus to limit the creation of new pages to autoconfirmed users. That project, generally referred to now, as WP:ACTRIAL, was born out of a need to control the creation of new pages (rather than new articles) up to 80% of which will be deleted anyway, and which the current system of NPP can no longer cope with. Article Creation Flow is a kind of of hybrid of AfC and Article Wizard and is an excellent demonstration of how landing and instructional pages could have a far more inviting look, and provide a much greater user-friendly process for the creation of new articles by new users. However, as you have noted, development appears to have stalled for nearly three months and not gone beyond at the initial discussion at MediaWiki. Following initiatives begun in October 2010, the proposal for WP:ACTRIAL was well researched and the RfC subscribed by around 500 users that provided the clear consensus took place in March. At the general pace of developments of this kind, including their trials, if work was to commence now, it could take up to a furtherr 12 months or more before Article Creation Flow would finally be implemented. In the face of the current education programmes that will cause a desired increase in new articles, but also an undesired increase in unwanted pages, and the recent huge backlog at Articles for Creation, it is probably time to prioritise this project and start moving forward. It remains to be seen how this can now be begun in earnest. Its sister project, the NPP Zoom that is equally important, is also moving at a slow tempo, and early this month I devised and initiated a survey in an endeavour to speed up and address the issues of NPP more directly. It is not known yet how, and by whom, the data from that survey will be used once it has been analysed and summarised by the WMF. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 00:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi there.
Just querying why this page was requested for deletion. As both manager and band member, i feel it wholly inappropriate to request deletion under the request as to why it is important or significant. The band in question have played in many local and regional venues, and are lined up to play a few of the major uk festivals this year, and the page was created to allow people to know more about the history of where the band came from, not in a sense of self promotion. As many other bands are currently on wikipedia in a similar sense, from major ones to fairly minor ones, i feel that the deletion of this article is unfair. There was no inappropriate content, nor anything which wasn't verifiable (if a request for citation had been placed on the account), and i feel that removal for the sake of claiming unimportance was wholly unjustifiable. Wikipedia, as a majorly important tool of knowledge to many, of which i include myself when wishing to find out more about something, shouldn't be censored in such a fashion unless it could be proven to have inappropriate content, or anything which cannot be proven...and i feel that i should bring it to your attention.
I'm not meaning it in a nasty sense, but something which could be considered colloquially important in one area of the world shouldn't be told by someone on the other side of the planet it was unimportant or insignificant, and i would much rather you had brought any grievances to me before deleting the article, as we have had a few queries to ourselves about the history of the band and where our music originated, which would have been better served by having the page to refer people to.
I'd appreciate the reinstatement of the page, or at least a comeback to my points i've referred to if it wouldn't take up too much of your time...
thanks J. McVeigh

Following your previous message...there are a plethora of bands currently on wikipedia which do not at present meet the criteria of which you have linked to, but yet still remain online.
Furthermore, we have been featured in two uk music magazines (ie proper review and one 2page interview, not just gig listings), as well as having played the opening weekend of this year's edinburgh festival, and are on the set for this years tbreak tent at 't in the park' so i feel there is a perfectly valid argument for inclusion.

RE: deleted record (1/11/11) of Pete Seegers titled "Pete" from 1996.
Hello JohnCD - I visited Wikipedia tonight to get the personnel information and other info about Pete Seeger's excellent record "Pete" and found it had been deleted.
This is a legitimate album, in fact it is currently available on Amazon.com although I didn't note what label it's on. The copy I have is from 1996 and on Earth Music Productions based out of Litchfield, CT, USA (zip code 06759). The distributer was Living Music. The ID # (probably wrong terminolgoy) is LMUS 0032.
The songs were primarliy ones that Pete had in his notebooks but never got around to recording, and about half of them feature choruses such as THe Union Baptist Church Singers, a group called Gaudeamus and The Cathedral Singers. It includes some excelent protest songs such as "Garbage" and "My Rainbow Race" and two beauties: "The Water Is Wide" and "Russian Song / "Ode To Joy". But the whole album is good (and I'm not really even his biggest fan).
Not being real savvy, I don't know if I missed any other info you'd need but wanted to say that it really shouldn't be deleted... Thanks.

Hi John,
I have re-edited the page I created for GK Sanghar. I have looked at your comments and realized that there may have been some parts to the contents that showcased subjectivity. So I have removed all subjective information and kept a more neutral approach. The article is properly referenced as the person is my client and I am her Manager. She is a local news personality and whatever information that is distributed is released by her Manager directly into the public domain for accessibility to her well-wishers.
However, I don't understand why the article name has been changed from GK Sanghar to G.K. Sanghar. Initially, there was a older wikipage once created. However, the information on that site lacked proper references and inadequate information. The names of article page should be restored to GK Sanghar.
This is the actual biography of a real person. References have been added and citations are non-subjective. The published work of the person has been referenced to avoid plagiarism by other parties only.
I hope you receive this message and pass the approval of this authenticated page created not for the purposes of publicity or commercial interests, but to allow for an avenue of credibility of the person and her work, and to share objective details of the person with her well-wishers.
Please allow the progression of the page.

Hi John. I see that you've undeleted Azim Wardak but I really why this shouldn't still be considered as a BLPPROD candidate. When I placed the tag a couple of weeks ago, I tried to find decent online sources and couldn't find significant coverage. Sure, I was able to confirm indirectly that he was a high-ranking employee of Afghanistan's ministry of commerce but from vague primary sources. Consider the fact that currently, the sentence
is supported by a reference that simply states that he was one of dozens in attendance to the Second Annual U.S. Afghanistan Trade And Investment Council Meeting. And the sentence:
is supported by a reference that only lists him as a participant of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. In other words, there isn't a single sentence in that article that is supported by a reliable source. Cheers, Pichpich ( talk) 22:01, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Who are you to unilaterally delete someone else's article? There are articles about completely unreleased albums, but one that was released and sold over 30,000 copies has no significance? No doubt this is because it was a Christian album. What are your specific objections? The Moody Blue (Talk) 01:43, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
OK, I just read on your page how this happened-sorry. I have had trolls vandalize edits and such before that had a very anti-Christian bias. This article is notable because the musician who recorded it is. David Persons was one of the Austin "Wrecking Crew" in the late 70's and early 80's. He played a lot of session work, as well as toured with Neil Diamond, Jimmy Buffett and numerous others. This is his only solo album until later this year. He is notable and was a well known studio musician. Simply because no one has written a wiki article about him does not mean he isn't notable. I was looking for a link to his album and realized there wasn't an article for it, so I added one. It should stand.

It is referenced - I backed up the statement about the conductor's background in contemporary music and left standing the tone that Wikipedia had already let be in their own article about Lou Calabro.
By the way, Sage City Symphony is listed in two existing Wiki pages and marked in red - I assume that means it wants this page to be made. On Calabro's page it is listed as the orchestra he started in 1973, on Marta Ptaszynska's Wiki page it is listed with the commission that she did for us. You need a couple more orchestras done for her too. Another of our composers who gave us a commissioned work has a Wiki page, Susan Hurley, though her Wiki page (and her entire focus re online currency) is in need of work.
One comment about the formatting for composers of classical music - it is the wild west in Wiki. Some of the pages have well-ordered lists of compositions, with good comment on the work, and some use the older in-line encyclopedia style with little musical dialogue. As a result it is not possible for all links within Wiki to turn up the same quality of information about classical works of music (contemporary or older). Wiki would be well served by finding an editor who knows classical music and could set up a template or two.
Finally, I want to mention something that is an increasing problem for everyone over here when it comes to retrieving older news articles. The trend is now for newspapers in their online presence to make customers register and pay to get to archived articles. Even if I popped in a link to older articles it wouldn't allow anyone to see them, and no one is microfiching news stories any more either so they aren't retrievable that way. That is the reason you are seeing a lot of discussion of past performances from liner notes of recordings on the composers' pages. Those links tend to stay around.
Anyway - the message says the page got moved out. Hopefully I am understanding this correctly. I am still not finding it easy to sort out these screens. Wiki has gotten a bunch messier since I did the internal one to document my SQL calls when I was working a day job.
Celia Murray Cemmur ( talk) 21:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick reply. I get it and would like it very well if someone saw ways to improve or jumped out from the wilds of Vermont to add stuff to the page for Sage City Symphony, especially some of the composers and older players who have paper materials in file cabinet drawers that haven't been cleaned up in 20 years. Musical groups were a bit all over the place too - I tried to hit the parts that would be most informative for someone new to the topic but am not sure I hit it. Re linkrot - I regularly run the external links on the organization's web site, expect that would be normal maintenance for anyone to do for Wiki pages as well. Thanks for the info on that group re musical entries. I'll have a while before they get this cast off my wrist so I might look in on the dialogue.

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination/SFSU Class Project and consider adding your name.
The scope of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination/SFSU Class Project is mainly concerned with new articles.
According to the teacher's instructions, this group of students may not create a lot of new articles, but may instead focus more on improving existing articles.
So, there may be little for us to do in the way the Wikipedia:WikiProject China/NNU Class Project required. The students may, however, still call on us for guidance in other areas. Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 09:15, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi there
There has been "interesting" activity on a page that I frequently update and keep an eye on Iain Benson. A user, who appears to have changed his user name three times, added two banners questioning the neutrality of the article and the notablity of the subject. I have removed both banners as they called for discussion on the talk page and there was none provided.
More concerning however are the statements made next to the edits that remain in the edit history. The user states that Iain Benson is not a professor and asserts this more than once - although he reverted his own edit later on this possibly after having checked the references. He also claims that the article is for commercial promotion and that he is a minor legal figure, essentially advertising. I see these as borderline libellous comments as they remain in the history and are not backed up.
This subject is a personal interest area of mine, related to the area of religious rights and freedoms and their protection under law. I am currently developing an article on the South African Charter of Religious Rights and Freedoms and will be looking at further articles relating to this topic. The article on Prof Benson is neither propoganda, nor advertising as claimed. If appearing not neutral, it is most likely because no-one has had anything negative to say regarding the subject. It is written in a neutral style and has been upgraded to a C class biographical article meeting all the criteria for notability. Prof Benson is also included in the most recent edition of Canadian Who's Who.
Is it possible to have the comments removed from the article history given the aspect of defamation? Also, if this user decides to put up the banners again, what is the correct procedure?
I will also refer this to -- Orange Mike but would apprecitate any help or advice here. ( Ewooll ( talk) 01:27, 15 October 2011 (UTC))

Hi JohnCD,
today I created a page for the band CANE! then it got deleted as you requested. I'd like to have an explanation for what happened. All the informations I wrote on the page were taken from CANE! official website (cane.boredyouth.org). I read why it got canceled (G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion) but I was just wondering if I can still use the references from the band website, quoting them, or if I have to rewrite the whole article describing it from another point of view.
I'm looking forward to your reply
Thank you
I observe that you have already warned this person about conflict of Interest.
This user has continued to spam articles by adding lists of books by the particular author Lina Murr Nehme. It is done in a rather sneaky manner. The references and links to the author's books are not added to the "Reference" or "Additional reading" sections but always to the "See also", and sometimes with the same book appearing as many as five times under different guises. All the links lead to the single page Lina Murr Nehme.
Are you and admin? There are so many of these references that tracking them down and reverting them is wasting time that I could spend more profitably on an article.
The problem is that since they are referencing an article that is within Wiki, it does not exactly fit the definition of spamming, although the intention and effect is the same.

It's bulk work. All the problems started from the bulk deletion of my articles.
And another thing: I now understand what to do. But could you kindly see World Marketplace article and tell me what is not good there what can be done to improve this article and bring it back into it's place. I'm not going to dispute with 3 users at 1 time. Most likely they can win.

Now you may ask "Why isn't it a copywrite." My reason. First of all Iwrote King of the Asian Pond and I decided to put it on wikipedia. Second of all although the website is'nt 100% mine it is share by me and one other person, who gave me permission to put it on his blog. Also it was on my blog called" Betta World" and if you look hard you will find it. So to your suprise I'll bet it wasn't a copywrite. Beta123210 ( talk) 15:22, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for deleting the printer pics just now. I have a real concern about the number of Indian university students who are uploading copyright text and images to Wikipedia. It seems that they aren't given the proper guidance - or they are ignoring that guidance.

John,
It would be nice if you could inform me what content could be added to make the page in compliance with rule A7 and give me a chance to edit it such that it would comply. Many articles about life science research products companies only discuss the company and its brands, and I don't see why a private company should be essentially deemed less important just because there isn't publicly available numbers on financials or a stock ticker to back it up.

Are there any circumstances when it is acceptable to make reference to a Youtube video? A Ph.D researcher presented findings that are contained in a book that is referenced in the Wikipedia article that I wish to edit. Not everyone has access to that book, but a summary of his findings can be found in a Youtube video. I wish to add a line to the Wikipedia page that discusses his research, stating that " Unsolved Mysteries published a video illustrating some of his photographs and findings." The Youtube video contains a 5-minute excerpt of that Unsolved Mysteries episode in which his findings are graphically illustrated. Would it be copyright infringement for me to make a reference to that Youtube video? I understand that the Youtube user who uploaded that excerpt might have had to obtain permissions in order to do so. I do not know if he has or if he has not. Wouldn't that be something that Youtube and/or the Unsolved Mysteries publisher would have to address with the Youtube user who uploaded that excerpt (that is, if they do not already have an agreement that I just don't know about), anyway? Would it be copyright infringement to even point to the relevant Youtube video, as I wish to do? COice6 ( talk) 03:53, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello JohnCD. Regarding Huey Lewis & the News, a redirect I had requested to be deleted, you declined with the reason given: "target of redirect has not been deleted or tagged for speedy". I do not contend the target should be deleted but rather that it should be moved over the redirect, itself becoming a redirect to what is the correct and proper name and title for the ensemble. A search at Allmusic.com using the current title shows the artist not found[Hueyallmusic.com/search/artist/huey+lewis+and+the+news] with an option to choose the correct possible match [4]. I am fairly certain the redirect carries the title which should be home for the subject rather than to redirect it to an improper title. My76Strat ( talk) 21:09, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi JohnCD,
I am trying to add a page for Startle (website), a new website for Forbes Travel Guide, which has a pre-existing page on Wikipedia. I just want to add information about the new site, like an encyclopedic entry. Is this possible? We can provide you with the content we want to add if someone else can add it for us.
Thank you,

John -- Writing to you as my assigned mentor. I was editing the entry on the Battle of Jutland, tried to insert an en-dash by hitting control and the hyphen key on the number pad, but instead I got a reduction in the size of the font of the whole artilce. I then, of course, hit the combination again, and got a further reduction. I don't know whether it has just affected my view or the font of the actual article on Wikipedia. My apolgies. Can you help? Or point me toward someone who can? Both as to putting the article back the way it should be (if necessary) and as to avoiding the problem in the future. Thanks. -- Edthed ( talk) 20:26, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Dear John,
I note that you have deleted my page about the Scrotum Poles. The band are often bracketed with the Homosexuals, the Desperate Bicycles and the Television Personalities, so I cannot understand the deletion. They have been regularly included on Chuck Warner's Messthetics series including Messthetics Greatest Hits.
Could you advise me as to how to proceed.
Kind regards

Hi John, I am a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador for the Housing and Social Policy course that is participating in Wikipedia's United States Education Program. You deleted a student's sandbox the other day, citing that it blatantly plagiarized material. The student has the citations and was going to put them in, but thought that because the material was in the sandbox, it could sit there as she continued to work on the article. Would you please consider restoring it so that she can add the citations and finish this as part of her class project? Thank you for your consideration. This is the first time most of these students are working with Wikipedia articles. I, the other campus ambassador for this class, and the instructor are monitoring the content as well. We appreciate your vigilance for keeping inappropriate material off of Wikipedia. Thanks again for considering my request on behalf of this student.

The Article Creation Flow mock up was quickly put together by Brandon Harris as a peace offering after he rejected the strong Wikipedia consensus to limit the creation of new pages to autoconfirmed users. That project, generally referred to now, as WP:ACTRIAL, was born out of a need to control the creation of new pages (rather than new articles) up to 80% of which will be deleted anyway, and which the current system of NPP can no longer cope with. Article Creation Flow is a kind of of hybrid of AfC and Article Wizard and is an excellent demonstration of how landing and instructional pages could have a far more inviting look, and provide a much greater user-friendly process for the creation of new articles by new users. However, as you have noted, development appears to have stalled for nearly three months and not gone beyond at the initial discussion at MediaWiki. Following initiatives begun in October 2010, the proposal for WP:ACTRIAL was well researched and the RfC subscribed by around 500 users that provided the clear consensus took place in March. At the general pace of developments of this kind, including their trials, if work was to commence now, it could take up to a furtherr 12 months or more before Article Creation Flow would finally be implemented. In the face of the current education programmes that will cause a desired increase in new articles, but also an undesired increase in unwanted pages, and the recent huge backlog at Articles for Creation, it is probably time to prioritise this project and start moving forward. It remains to be seen how this can now be begun in earnest. Its sister project, the NPP Zoom that is equally important, is also moving at a slow tempo, and early this month I devised and initiated a survey in an endeavour to speed up and address the issues of NPP more directly. It is not known yet how, and by whom, the data from that survey will be used once it has been analysed and summarised by the WMF. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 00:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

I was just noticing that you have deleted the offensive redirect " Porkistan" two times before (the most recent being in October 2011), and that it has been created on a total of seven occasions. Instead of having to delete it everytime someone creates this redirect, isn't there a way to permanently block the creation of this page, so as to prevent users from recreating it? I'm sure there must be a way to do that. Mar4d ( talk) 05:21, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi there.
Just querying why this page was requested for deletion. As both manager and band member, i feel it wholly inappropriate to request deletion under the request as to why it is important or significant. The band in question have played in many local and regional venues, and are lined up to play a few of the major uk festivals this year, and the page was created to allow people to know more about the history of where the band came from, not in a sense of self promotion. As many other bands are currently on wikipedia in a similar sense, from major ones to fairly minor ones, i feel that the deletion of this article is unfair. There was no inappropriate content, nor anything which wasn't verifiable (if a request for citation had been placed on the account), and i feel that removal for the sake of claiming unimportance was wholly unjustifiable. Wikipedia, as a majorly important tool of knowledge to many, of which i include myself when wishing to find out more about something, shouldn't be censored in such a fashion unless it could be proven to have inappropriate content, or anything which cannot be proven...and i feel that i should bring it to your attention.
I'm not meaning it in a nasty sense, but something which could be considered colloquially important in one area of the world shouldn't be told by someone on the other side of the planet it was unimportant or insignificant, and i would much rather you had brought any grievances to me before deleting the article, as we have had a few queries to ourselves about the history of the band and where our music originated, which would have been better served by having the page to refer people to.
I'd appreciate the reinstatement of the page, or at least a comeback to my points i've referred to if it wouldn't take up too much of your time...
thanks J. McVeigh

Following your previous message...there are a plethora of bands currently on wikipedia which do not at present meet the criteria of which you have linked to, but yet still remain online.
Furthermore, we have been featured in two uk music magazines (ie proper review and one 2page interview, not just gig listings), as well as having played the opening weekend of this year's edinburgh festival, and are on the set for this years tbreak tent at 't in the park' so i feel there is a perfectly valid argument for inclusion.

RE: deleted record (1/11/11) of Pete Seegers titled "Pete" from 1996.
Hello JohnCD - I visited Wikipedia tonight to get the personnel information and other info about Pete Seeger's excellent record "Pete" and found it had been deleted.
This is a legitimate album, in fact it is currently available on Amazon.com although I didn't note what label it's on. The copy I have is from 1996 and on Earth Music Productions based out of Litchfield, CT, USA (zip code 06759). The distributer was Living Music. The ID # (probably wrong terminolgoy) is LMUS 0032.
The songs were primarliy ones that Pete had in his notebooks but never got around to recording, and about half of them feature choruses such as THe Union Baptist Church Singers, a group called Gaudeamus and The Cathedral Singers. It includes some excelent protest songs such as "Garbage" and "My Rainbow Race" and two beauties: "The Water Is Wide" and "Russian Song / "Ode To Joy". But the whole album is good (and I'm not really even his biggest fan).
Not being real savvy, I don't know if I missed any other info you'd need but wanted to say that it really shouldn't be deleted... Thanks.

Hi John,
I have re-edited the page I created for GK Sanghar. I have looked at your comments and realized that there may have been some parts to the contents that showcased subjectivity. So I have removed all subjective information and kept a more neutral approach. The article is properly referenced as the person is my client and I am her Manager. She is a local news personality and whatever information that is distributed is released by her Manager directly into the public domain for accessibility to her well-wishers.
However, I don't understand why the article name has been changed from GK Sanghar to G.K. Sanghar. Initially, there was a older wikipage once created. However, the information on that site lacked proper references and inadequate information. The names of article page should be restored to GK Sanghar.
This is the actual biography of a real person. References have been added and citations are non-subjective. The published work of the person has been referenced to avoid plagiarism by other parties only.
I hope you receive this message and pass the approval of this authenticated page created not for the purposes of publicity or commercial interests, but to allow for an avenue of credibility of the person and her work, and to share objective details of the person with her well-wishers.
Please allow the progression of the page.

Hi John. I see that you've undeleted Azim Wardak but I really why this shouldn't still be considered as a BLPPROD candidate. When I placed the tag a couple of weeks ago, I tried to find decent online sources and couldn't find significant coverage. Sure, I was able to confirm indirectly that he was a high-ranking employee of Afghanistan's ministry of commerce but from vague primary sources. Consider the fact that currently, the sentence
is supported by a reference that simply states that he was one of dozens in attendance to the Second Annual U.S. Afghanistan Trade And Investment Council Meeting. And the sentence:
is supported by a reference that only lists him as a participant of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. In other words, there isn't a single sentence in that article that is supported by a reliable source. Cheers, Pichpich ( talk) 22:01, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Created a page for the Onondaga Ogres football program. Page was deleted for notability. This club was the first football program for the students of Onondaga Community College in the fifty year history of the school. We were covered in the Syracuse Post Standard and National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) following a game against Alfred State College. In the 2012 season we will be an official NJCAA Club program and be acting as its varsity representative. I began the entry in wikipedia as a starting point that was to be expanded on in the coming days. If you could reinstate the page it would be helpful and I will do my best to update it as quickly as possible with relevant content.

Who are you to unilaterally delete someone else's article? There are articles about completely unreleased albums, but one that was released and sold over 30,000 copies has no significance? No doubt this is because it was a Christian album. What are your specific objections? The Moody Blue (Talk) 01:43, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
OK, I just read on your page how this happened-sorry. I have had trolls vandalize edits and such before that had a very anti-Christian bias. This article is notable because the musician who recorded it is. David Persons was one of the Austin "Wrecking Crew" in the late 70's and early 80's. He played a lot of session work, as well as toured with Neil Diamond, Jimmy Buffett and numerous others. This is his only solo album until later this year. He is notable and was a well known studio musician. Simply because no one has written a wiki article about him does not mean he isn't notable. I was looking for a link to his album and realized there wasn't an article for it, so I added one. It should stand.
