As I said in the edit summary, the template was added by an anon (you?) and as far as I recall there was no discussion of it on the talk page. When this happens, templates get removed. By the way, please be sure to add new comments at the bottom of talk pages. I added a notice on my talk page after someone else did this, and you seem to you placed your comment right under it.

I was actually just about to message you when you sent that. I changed it to speedy deletion without realizing that an admin. had negated the reasoning for it being patent nonsense, which I don't quite understand. Then the user removed your PROD tag and the mess in my tired mind ensued and I realized it is just better to do an AFD and have a bunch of people notice what a ridiculous article it is. I'm a chef myself, the notion of a brownie flying up into the air (no one noticed this?) and landing on a lasagna and a patron being over joyed by this is ummm patent nonsense. Then for their business to triple for this disgusting catastrophe? Combined with your notice of the pictures copyright ridiculousness and the fact that I found that the user placed the picture on a bunch of articles as vandalism, hrmmmm vandalism article ya think? The notion itself was even too gorss to chuckle at. Thanks for the message.-- Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 06:29, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
You do know that if you add the template {{lowercase|Jonny-mt}} to the top of youe user page that you can bypass the Wiki sortware so that your title will read: User:jonny-mt, instead of User:Jonny-mt. I just thought you would like to know so you can stick it to the man! Good luck editing.

Hi Johnny
I'm contacting you to discuss deletion of PatentCafe. I had posted the "Hangon" and posted an explanation, but the page was deleted as my talk was submitted.
First - as a publisher of an major online magazine www.ipfrontline.com - I'm sympathetic to your strict guidelines. By the same token, I maintain the same strict standards on articles that PatentCafe publishes. I consulted every WIKI guideline, as well as the objectivity rules we impose on contributed articles, to try and ensure that the PatentCafe article met those standards.
I will be very receptive to specific comments on how to modify this page - and in fact, I did modify significantly after the first Speedy Delete.
I took great care in developing objective, factual, and important-to-industry information about the company and its products. I believed that I followed both the spirit and letter of the guidelines.
Further, I tried to very closely model PatentCafe after the AT&T page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At%26t - one of PatentCafe's customers, and the company that recommended that I create the article on PatentCafe.
PatentCafe plays a very important part in the worldwide intellectual property community - as a thought leader and speaker to the world's patent offices, to developer of software to comply with current and pending patent regulations.
Again - while I indeed discussed PatentCafe in detail - I attempted to do so in a completely objective, nothing overstated, everything factual basis, addressing the business and core technology, market, and product links as I followed fro AT&T's article template.
Please let me know specifics on what needs to be done to have the PatentCafe article approved, and I will address those points a.s.a.p.
Thank you for your guidance.
- Andy

Thanks for your info, Jonny.
Regarding PatentCafe importance to the industry - you can google the following query:
ipfrontline OR patentcafe -site:www.cafezine.com -site:www.patentcafe.com -site:www.ipfrontline.com
This looks for pages linking to PatentCafe or ipfrontline (and cafezine- it's predecessor), but EXCLUDE pages from PatentCafe and IPFrontline. I think you may find about 42,800 sites or links back to PatentCafe websites. Is this enough?
I agree with the "about the company" section being small -- it was 3 AM here, and I was running out of steam. Even the other sections need work - for instance, the Latent Semantic Analysis search technology that has some level if visibility on Wikipedia - but much of it only theory. PatentCafe succeeded in accomplishing an artificial intelligence patent search engine that IBM, DuPont, US government R&D labs, and many others worldwide rely on.
It's that search capability that's now a focal point for Senate debates and Senate disappointments that the US Patent Office has not yet achieved this level of search technology. More than $2 billion in patent infringement awards have been settled this year alone - and you alreadyknow the Blackberry lawsuit, and iPhone lawsuits that threaten these companies continuing to delivery their technology.
Anyway - I'll re-work the "about the company" and build more neutral content into the page.
I would kindly ask for your thoughts regarding the number of links back to PatentCafe's pages -- and whether you think I should include comment somewhere when I re-post the page to alert you (or a different editor) about these links and "industry's knowledge, and importance of" PatentCafe's resources? IS there are "READ ME" tag or similar I can add comments to - but that can be removed later?
Thanks for taking so much time to read my response.

No problem. Glad to help. That guy was something else! Toddstreat1 15:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for CSD tagging vanity bios, "So-and-so is coolest kid around" and so forth, but I have noticed that you tagged them with {{ db-vandalism}}. These articles are not really vandalism. Instead, you should tag them with {{ db-bio}}. The {{ db-vandalism}} should only be used where the new editor is not making a good faith effort at the article. Most of these vanity articles are just editors who are not familiar with how Wikipedia works, so treating them with a gentler hand might induce them to contribute something constructive. =) -- Gogo Dodo 05:56, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I can understand why you would want to delete
Ray Flugger. That article is pure crap. It just seems to me that he was is a very important (albeit rich) man worthy of mention. But what I don't understand is why you want
Flowmaster deleted. If it sounds like "Blatant advertising" to you, then why don't you just edit it to make it sound more encyclopedic? I admit that

Thank you for your welcome but I am thoroughly insulted by your actions. I find that the deletion request of the article is ridiculous and the rules that govern the deletion for it have extremely high standards for band wiki creation. This band may not be famous or have any notable releases, but they are creating a stir in their local music scene, and I think it to be detrimental to their expansion as a band to be refused a Wiki page. By having a page on Wikipedia, people who enjoy their music can easily find information they are searching for on it's history or current members. Please revoke your deletion request and leave this article alone. Also, would your extremely fast attack on the article happen to be in part due to the band's ( Vaginal Destruction) name? If so then this is even more of an improper request. Also, is wikipedia supposed to be some sort of elite, internet form of The Encyclopedia Britannica , or some other famous encyclopedia? If that is true then the whole image of this website is a farce and I am disgusted by it's presence. I truly hope none of that is the case, and that this can simply be revoked. Thank you.

That sounds fair enough. Didn't see the German version in the list when I looked. Must have skipped over it. ARendedWinter 07:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
You know what, you make sense. I'm sorry I acted harsh, I just felt insulted that spending so much time working on that article that it was not proper for wikipedia. You were trying to help me out, and thank you for that, you don't deserve my being rude to you. Maybe there should be some sort of local wikipedia. Oh well. Anyway, I'll try and do things the right way from now on. I didn't mean to lash out at you specifically, really I became frustrated with putting a lot of effort into something and it not being acceptable. I don't think I'm going to edit things for a while or ever again because I usually miss the rules somewhere. Thanks for helping out and once again I'm sorry for being as severely impolite as I was.

An article that you have been involved in editing, Patentcafe, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patentcafe. Thank you. Edcolins 10:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
As a non-admin, I'd recommend you avoid closing deletion debates early, as well as citing WP:SNOW as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rincewind. Attitudes may have changed and I may be out of date, and if I am, forgive me, but it's generally felt that non-admin closure is only really needed when there's a lengthy backlog. I doubt anyone will dispute this one, this is more just a for your info. Have you considered running for admin? Anyway, best regards and happy editing. Hiding Talk 11:21, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello Jonny-mt. Can you let me know what is wrong with the article I created ( John Smith Wrinkle meat) so that I can correct it. You say it is inapropriate but in what way? Appart from it being a stubb or maybe for naming conventions I can't find the problem. Please let me know, thank you. Keria 11:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
What's bad about my article? I'm just trying to make an article for a significant tropical storm. Take note: I don't intend to offend you; if you're offended, I ask your pardon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pika ten10 ( talk • contribs) 11:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I am not "spamming every movie and video game article" I can find. I am tagging recent releases with the {{ current fiction}} tag and using the articles 2007 in film and 2007 in video gaming as a source. I realize that Gears of War was originally released on November 7, 2006, but the 2007 in video gaming article says the Windows version was released on November 6, 2007 — so it's a recent release. Viva Piñata was originally released on November 9, 2006, but the 2007 in video gaming article says the Windows version was released on November 6, 2007 — so it's a recent release. I don't think I own articles, an administrator decided in a recent deletion debate that the {{ current fiction}} template is better. If you have an issue with the {{ current fiction}} tag, you're welcome to comment on it on the template's talk page. And if you don't think it should be used in any articles, you're free to nominate it for deletion. I'll stop tagging videogame articles since you seem to be against it. Thank you for your message. -- Pixelface 13:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jonny, myself and a couple of other admins have happened across this situation and I thought I'd just mention quickly that your comment here directed at Liquidfinale is not terribly productive; if you're dealing with an editing dispute you'd be much better off sticking to productive conversation (like you've been doing here) or contacting an admin if things are starting to turn sour. -- bainer ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
My newest article is List of Characters in Battalion Wars. I want it to stay like List of Advance Wars COs that also gets to stay.( Optimus the F22 Raptor 07:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC))
Thanks for tagging that article. It's got some just plain incomprehensible writing in it -- something I hate to try to edit because if it is bad enough I can't even tell what the person was trying to say.
Anyway, it would be helpful if you would have another look and add "citation" tags where you would like more references. Part of the problem with something like this article is that the basics are dead simple and the fan-out is incredible. Everybody who writes (and who knows basically what s/he is talking about) starts with the same basics and then fans out to wherever s/he wants to go. So once you've cited Young and Huygens and a couple of others you've got the basics. But I just found one place where someone had put in a bunch of formulae. Probably they are perfectly o.k., but the guy should have cited his textbook. I managed to find another textbook and another set of formulae so it's o.k., but why didn't the writer give that info when s/he was writing? I'm betting that s/he wasn't dragging it out of memory.
If you can help me spot anything remaining that needs a citation, please just tag it. I am going over the article from top to bottom, and I guess I'm about half-way through. P0M ( talk) 20:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Jonny-mt! Thank you very much more the milk and WikiCookie!

Happy editing! Cheers, Je t Lover ( Report a mistake) 22:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't mind that you reverted my removal of the SD tag. I just don't think it is appropriate to mark these kinds of pages for speedy less than 60 seconds after created, and I know that doing that is against some policy or guideline somewhere. There is just a difference between making a page for a band, and making a page that says "Tom is the coolest person alive"; obviously the second one should immediately be tagged A7. Anyways, 10 minutes without any other edits is appropriate in my opinion to re-tag, which you did. I planned on re-checking it anyways, but you just beat me to it. - Rjd0060 ( talk) 06:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I still am new to this site and I do not know all of the different commands for each CSD tag, except for the G1 and the A7 tags...anyways, thanks for letting me know about that. - Razorflame ( talk) 19:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

this page was created because when ever i sign anythi9ng on here is shows Jay2k insted OF MY REAL user name Jay2k ( talk) 11:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Google Print in fact does allow full browsing (and pdf download) of PD works, as in the case with the one I cited in that article. And M.K knows Polish language well enough to translate when he wants to. I was planning to expand this article and maybe create another one (one the civil war) itself, and update the references to specific pages in the mentioned book, instead of the current passage of several pages, but the atmosphere of this discussion made me concentrate on more friendly areas on Wikipedia. I have created the article, it has been subject so heavy disruption, and I am content with ensuring it does not deteriorate - improving it further just seems too painful.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 19:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
I have reverted your non-admin closure of this debate. While this listing is unusual, the concurrent listing of the box and the page is not against policy. Even if the page is deleted, the box will remain for other users to employ; if the page survives, it may be that a separate consensus will find the box improper. For this reason, the results in these two debates will not "conflict", unless they are read in a very peculiar fashion. Even if the nominator has withdrawn, the debate has both "keep" and "delete" comments, so early closure for that reason is inappropriate also. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for creating an article for IUC. As I am currently attending the program, and there aren't that many other people working on Japan-related topics here on Wikipedia, I was quite surprised that someone would create the article. I immediately thought, was it someone else currently attending with me, someone who is, unknown to me, an avid Wiki editor? Ah, but I see you're an alum. Well, the program is going very well - even if it's incredibly difficult at times, it's also fun, and I'm making great progress. I'm excited to be able to count myself among the alumni of such an excellent, and well-known within the Japanese language education world, program. Cheers.

Hi there. I appreciate your comments, as I'm new to the MfD nomination process, and have learned quite a few things already, namely to see when the page and account were created and see if I can notify the user prior to nominating their page for deletion.

Hi, Jonny. Thanks for the barnstar. M&NCenarius 13:52, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
No problem. Glad to help. That guy was something else! Toddstreat1 15:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for CSD tagging vanity bios, "So-and-so is coolest kid around" and so forth, but I have noticed that you tagged them with {{ db-vandalism}}. These articles are not really vandalism. Instead, you should tag them with {{ db-bio}}. The {{ db-vandalism}} should only be used where the new editor is not making a good faith effort at the article. Most of these vanity articles are just editors who are not familiar with how Wikipedia works, so treating them with a gentler hand might induce them to contribute something constructive. =) -- Gogo Dodo 05:56, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i think its nonsense if you guys keep deleting the Dedxound page. What are you guidelines for approving things that you dont know? In the page there are links to prove the importance of this artist in the experimental music netlabel scene Huum 18:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I can understand why you would want to delete
Ray Flugger. That article is pure crap. It just seems to me that he was is a very important (albeit rich) man worthy of mention. But what I don't understand is why you want
Flowmaster deleted. If it sounds like "Blatant advertising" to you, then why don't you just edit it to make it sound more encyclopedic? I admit that
Flowmaster is my first article, but just like real life, don't you need someone to walk you through your first time? Please just help me out. --

Thanks for understanding. I think I can get it to read like the Edelbrock page, but I need some time. Any more input would be appreciated. -- Macdaddy5539 09:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your welcome but I am thoroughly insulted by your actions. I find that the deletion request of the article is ridiculous and the rules that govern the deletion for it have extremely high standards for band wiki creation. This band may not be famous or have any notable releases, but they are creating a stir in their local music scene, and I think it to be detrimental to their expansion as a band to be refused a Wiki page. By having a page on Wikipedia, people who enjoy their music can easily find information they are searching for on it's history or current members. Please revoke your deletion request and leave this article alone. Also, would your extremely fast attack on the article happen to be in part due to the band's ( Vaginal Destruction) name? If so then this is even more of an improper request. Also, is wikipedia supposed to be some sort of elite, internet form of The Encyclopedia Britannica , or some other famous encyclopedia? If that is true then the whole image of this website is a farce and I am disgusted by it's presence. I truly hope none of that is the case, and that this can simply be revoked. Thank you.

That sounds fair enough. Didn't see the German version in the list when I looked. Must have skipped over it. ARendedWinter 07:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
You know what, you make sense. I'm sorry I acted harsh, I just felt insulted that spending so much time working on that article that it was not proper for wikipedia. You were trying to help me out, and thank you for that, you don't deserve my being rude to you. Maybe there should be some sort of local wikipedia. Oh well. Anyway, I'll try and do things the right way from now on. I didn't mean to lash out at you specifically, really I became frustrated with putting a lot of effort into something and it not being acceptable. I don't think I'm going to edit things for a while or ever again because I usually miss the rules somewhere. Thanks for helping out and once again I'm sorry for being as severely impolite as I was.

An article that you have been involved in editing, Patentcafe, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patentcafe. Thank you. Edcolins 10:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
As a non-admin, I'd recommend you avoid closing deletion debates early, as well as citing WP:SNOW as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rincewind. Attitudes may have changed and I may be out of date, and if I am, forgive me, but it's generally felt that non-admin closure is only really needed when there's a lengthy backlog. I doubt anyone will dispute this one, this is more just a for your info. Have you considered running for admin? Anyway, best regards and happy editing. Hiding Talk 11:21, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello Jonny-mt. Can you let me know what is wrong with the article I created ( John Smith Wrinkle meat) so that I can correct it. You say it is inapropriate but in what way? Appart from it being a stubb or maybe for naming conventions I can't find the problem. Please let me know, thank you. Keria 11:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
What's bad about my article? I'm just trying to make an article for a significant tropical storm. Take note: I don't intend to offend you; if you're offended, I ask your pardon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pika ten10 ( talk • contribs) 11:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I am not "spamming every movie and video game article" I can find. I am tagging recent releases with the {{ current fiction}} tag and using the articles 2007 in film and 2007 in video gaming as a source. I realize that Gears of War was originally released on November 7, 2006, but the 2007 in video gaming article says the Windows version was released on November 6, 2007 — so it's a recent release. Viva Piñata was originally released on November 9, 2006, but the 2007 in video gaming article says the Windows version was released on November 6, 2007 — so it's a recent release. I don't think I own articles, an administrator decided in a recent deletion debate that the {{ current fiction}} template is better. If you have an issue with the {{ current fiction}} tag, you're welcome to comment on it on the template's talk page. And if you don't think it should be used in any articles, you're free to nominate it for deletion. I'll stop tagging videogame articles since you seem to be against it. Thank you for your message. -- Pixelface 13:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jonny, myself and a couple of other admins have happened across this situation and I thought I'd just mention quickly that your comment here directed at Liquidfinale is not terribly productive; if you're dealing with an editing dispute you'd be much better off sticking to productive conversation (like you've been doing here) or contacting an admin if things are starting to turn sour. -- bainer ( talk) 13:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
My newest article is List of Characters in Battalion Wars. I want it to stay like List of Advance Wars COs that also gets to stay.( Optimus the F22 Raptor 07:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC))
Thanks for tagging that article. It's got some just plain incomprehensible writing in it -- something I hate to try to edit because if it is bad enough I can't even tell what the person was trying to say.
Anyway, it would be helpful if you would have another look and add "citation" tags where you would like more references. Part of the problem with something like this article is that the basics are dead simple and the fan-out is incredible. Everybody who writes (and who knows basically what s/he is talking about) starts with the same basics and then fans out to wherever s/he wants to go. So once you've cited Young and Huygens and a couple of others you've got the basics. But I just found one place where someone had put in a bunch of formulae. Probably they are perfectly o.k., but the guy should have cited his textbook. I managed to find another textbook and another set of formulae so it's o.k., but why didn't the writer give that info when s/he was writing? I'm betting that s/he wasn't dragging it out of memory.
If you can help me spot anything remaining that needs a citation, please just tag it. I am going over the article from top to bottom, and I guess I'm about half-way through. P0M ( talk) 20:18, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar—it's been a few months. Let's hope the support continues and we can get the redirect done. It's made sense for a long time; but we won't rush to redirect, given what happened with ATT. Cheers, Marskell ( talk) 18:30, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Jonny-mt! Thank you very much more the milk and WikiCookie! I am flattered by your offer for adminship, but I am not the perfect candidate, I can make mistakes on on new pages, and I'd like to hold off until I can fix that. Thank you very much, though! Happy editing! Cheers, Je t Lover ( Report a mistake) 22:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't mind that you reverted my removal of the SD tag. I just don't think it is appropriate to mark these kinds of pages for speedy less than 60 seconds after created, and I know that doing that is against some policy or guideline somewhere. There is just a difference between making a page for a band, and making a page that says "Tom is the coolest person alive"; obviously the second one should immediately be tagged A7. Anyways, 10 minutes without any other edits is appropriate in my opinion to re-tag, which you did. I planned on re-checking it anyways, but you just beat me to it. - Rjd0060 ( talk) 06:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
I still am new to this site and I do not know all of the different commands for each CSD tag, except for the G1 and the A7 tags...anyways, thanks for letting me know about that. - Razorflame ( talk) 19:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
In response to your comments, does that mean an article could then eventually be made, if it was referenced with reliable sources and made claim of its notabilty? If so, how would you go around creating such an article if it is blocked off? ISD ( talk) 14:47, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

this page was created because when ever i sign anythi9ng on here is shows Jay2k insted OF MY REAL user name Jay2k ( talk) 11:55, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Google Print in fact does allow full browsing (and pdf download) of PD works, as in the case with the one I cited in that article. And M.K knows Polish language well enough to translate when he wants to. I was planning to expand this article and maybe create another one (one the civil war) itself, and update the references to specific pages in the mentioned book, instead of the current passage of several pages, but the atmosphere of this discussion made me concentrate on more friendly areas on Wikipedia. I have created the article, it has been subject so heavy disruption, and I am content with ensuring it does not deteriorate - improving it further just seems too painful.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 19:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- a quick thanks for the welcome template you put on my page a few days ago. You wrote that it was tardy, but it was nice to be welcomed and to find all those links in one convenient place. -- Linda 08:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
I have reverted your non-admin closure of this debate. While this listing is unusual, the concurrent listing of the box and the page is not against policy. Even if the page is deleted, the box will remain for other users to employ; if the page survives, it may be that a separate consensus will find the box improper. For this reason, the results in these two debates will not "conflict", unless they are read in a very peculiar fashion. Even if the nominator has withdrawn, the debate has both "keep" and "delete" comments, so early closure for that reason is inappropriate also. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:27, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jonny-mt, welcome to Wikipedia! Glad you're watching the pages so quickly. Could you please restore the Tom Engelhardt page I created around 2am last night? I don't have any backups and can't locate the wiki-page after you marked it for speedy-deletion and deleted it by 9am this morning. [And I don't have time to go back and re-create it.] Thanks.

Thanks for creating an article for IUC. As I am currently attending the program, and there aren't that many other people working on Japan-related topics here on Wikipedia, I was quite surprised that someone would create the article. I immediately thought, was it someone else currently attending with me, someone who is, unknown to me, an avid Wiki editor? Ah, but I see you're an alum. Well, the program is going very well - even if it's incredibly difficult at times, it's also fun, and I'm making great progress. I'm excited to be able to count myself among the alumni of such an excellent, and well-known within the Japanese language education world, program. Cheers.

Hi there. I appreciate your comments, as I'm new to the MfD nomination process, and have learned quite a few things already, namely to see when the page and account were created and see if I can notify the user prior to nominating their page for deletion. I didn't intend to scar any newbies. Anyway, I just felt I'd let you know, as I didn't want to leave a bad image of myself in your mind.
