Dear Juliancolton, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).
Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki!

The deleted material you restored to this article includes allegations of criminal conduct against an unnamed individual (name suppressed by judicial order). Whether the identification of the article subject as that unnamed person is correct isn't verifible, since the articles don't provide the name. The ID may be plausible/probable, but without a source naming him it's pretty much OR. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz ( talk) 20:38, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Since you created the 1st anti-drama barnstar for 2009, for the second one, I would like your thoughts on this image below:
The 2nd barnstar template (if it hasn't already been) will be created in my own userspace. Just wanted to give you a heads-up since you're the creator of the first one. Also, I used the GIMP if you're wondering what image editor I used. Thanks, ConCompS (Talk to me) 23:45, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi!
I noticed that you deleted article "Warren Fischer", listing "non-notable artist" as the reason.
This is not consistent, as the group "Fischerspooner", and "Casey Spooner" both have pages.
Cheers and happy holidays.

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:20, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for opening up a new section, but I didn't know whether or not you would see my reply if it was on my talk page. Anyway, what I had removed was a vote in the "support" secion by RMHED with the title "Bastard." I didn't find that appropriate for several reasons, as he called you a bastard, placed the vote in the "Support" section, and it is one of three votes that he has cast. I have not done anything since, so I could be wrong. Please enlighten me. Thanks, -- 15lsoucy ( salve) 20:44, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 00:09, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I posted a response to the entire post. It is rather long, so if you have a short attention span, please do not turn off the computer before you are done reading. If you are a slow reader, take breaks or read it the next day (but don't read one half today and the other half the next day due to the risk for insomnia). It also contains a small part of the big picture (all at once), and that might be mind-blowing for some people.

I am saddened to inform you that your RfB was closed as unsuccessful after bureaucrat discussion. I encourage you, however, to carefully review and consider the reasoning given by those who were opposed and use the information to address any valid concerns which may have been raised. You have a long history of excellent work on the site as an editor and as an administrator, and I encourage you to continue with that. I understand how frustrating it can be to have the community indicate that they aren't willing to accept your help in this role at this time, but I encourage you to use it as a stepping stone for improvement. I think you will eventually be successful in becoming a bureaucrat, should you choose to run again in the future. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help. Thank you, again, for all your hard work. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 03:51, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Whatever, 209 wikipedians clearly think you are competent and ready to be a bureaucrat. I think it's a mistake to consider that bureaucrat is a higher level than adminship, but that's probably due that lamely quoted essay with the Jimbo quote about adminship being not a big deal. Good that you ran to see how many wikipedians support you. Now, go out and calmly start getting involved as an admin in some more controversial settlements. -- IP69.226.103.13 | Talk about me. 19:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Juliancolton, Thanks for responding to my username change request. I don’t want to leave Wikipedia permanently. What I want is to remove all traces of my former username from Wikipedia. I want all references to my former username to be replaced with references to the replacement username. Sincerely, Shiafishman ( talk) 20:21, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Dear Julian, Thank you so much for your reply to my request to change my Username. The reason I made the request is because when I initially became a Wikipedia User I did not fully understand the system and have noted that using one's own name is not always a good idea. I have found an amount of harassment, which is causing distress, as you can imagine.
In the meantime I have deleted all content on my Michael Baic Username page, which is now blank and I would obviously not wish anybody to userp my name and enter false details.
In addition to the above, I was very concerned about a deletion on Sir Frederick Ashton's page. I knew him very well indeed for many years and noticed I was mentioned as were the Pagets. Suddenly my name was deleted by someone and I was not able to restore it.It must have been an error but, whereas I am not particularly concerned if I am mentioned on his page or not, it is at least as relevant as that of the Pagets.
I apologise if I may appear to be somewhat ignorant as to the correct protocal re editing and changing etc, but you will understand that at 60, the mind is not as sharp as at 30!
Thanks so much for your help Julian. ----

January 7th, 2010. FROM THE ISCF International Sport Combat Federation
We hate to start out rude, but we feel greatly insulted by all the comments made about the past ISCF MMA info page. EVERYTHING that your staff have attacked us on can be EASILY answered in a simple, two-way conversation.
WHO ARE THESE "EDITORS" THAT HAVE SLAMMED US??? It's CLEAR they have no idea what the ISCF is!
We have no idea WHAT all of you are talking about in your posts however, we here at the ISCF would LOVE to be able to discuss all your false accusations and prove to you whatever we need to prove to make you happy. ALL ISCF events can be found on our past news page located here; http://www.iscfmma.com/PastNews.htm
Here is where you are a little confused. To begin with, the ISCF is a "SANCTIONING BODY" NOT a "PROMOTIONAL COMPANY" like the UFC, Strikeforce, King of the Cage, etc. etc.
Not to try and insult anyone here but it clearly appears from all of your comments attacking our credibility that no one here knows what a "SANCTIONING BODY is or does.
AGAIN, we are NOT Promoters, we "SANCTION events for proper rules, regulations and safety!
It would not have taken anyone here long to do a little research and find out about the ISCF because EVERYTHING we claim we have accomplished as well as do is CLEARLY documented on our web pages. We didn't just "MAKE THIS STUFF UP!"
The ISCF was the FIRST ever MMA Sanctioning body in the USA, and was created in 1999, LONG before any state athletic or boxing commissions started sanctioning the sport of MMA. If you want to look at "MMA" from a RULES topic, the ISCF was the first ever "MMA" Sanctioning body in the WORLD that truly sanctioned the sport of "Mixed Martial Arts". While "OTHER" groups such as SHOOTO Sanctioned their own styles, ISCF Sanctioned what was known as MMA today.
AGAIN, Groups such as UFC, Strikeforce, King of the Cage, these are "Promotional Companies", NOT Sanctioning bodies. We do not SIGN fighters. For more info on the ISCF, please go to; http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFMission.htm
For MMA Sanctioning bodies you have listed; World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts, Shooto, WWCN, North American Boxing Council and the Japan Mixed Martial Arts Federation.
However, you are still missing A LOT of other MMA "SANCTIONING BODIES" such as ISKA, WKA, KICK and of course, the ISCF.
If anyone here would have been respectful enough to speak to us before insulting us and deleating our info page, it would have been greatly appreciated. However, NO ONE here bothered to do this and NO ONE bothered to learn what a "SANCTIONING BODY" is or does.
Our e-mail address is info@iscfmma.com and our contact number is 916-663-2467. Again, we would be glad to "EXPLAIN" to ANYONE taking the jabs at us here the difference of a "SANCTIONING BODY" and a "PROMOTIONAL COMPANY" because it's CLEAR no one here knows the difference...
We Eagerly Looking forward to your reply and sorry if we were a little emotional in this message, but we took great offense to the attacks by the editors here for an organization we have all worked very hard in making credible among the MMA world.
Thank you for your time in this matter. Sincerely, ISCF MMA www.ISCFMMA.com 75.5.253.232 ( talk) 23:22, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
__________________
OK Niteshift36... No one here has unlimited HOURS to read through all you have asked us to read. Our point is the TERRIBLE Accusations and comments that you and the other editors made on the page that we first responded to. YES, we saw "Don't change it..." However, after reading what you have accused the ISCF of, ANYONE IN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE DONE WHAT WE DID!! you and the others were rude, insulting and ALL of your claimed accusations were FALSE!! AGAIN, your accusations were attacking us as if we were trying to be a UFC, or compete with UFC. WE ARE NOT AND DON'T WANT TO BE A UFC, WE ARE A "SANCTIONING BODY! NOT A PROMOTIONAL COMPANY! It was insulting to read the comments. For example, someone there referenced this page for event results; http://www.mmauniverse.com/organisations/SS22
We LAUGHED when we read this page. It says only 68 events from 1999 to 2008. Not only have they missed 2009, but they lissed A LOAD OF EVENTS.
If you really want to see what we have documented, "NOT WHAT SOME WEB SERFER 'FOUND' AND POSTED", go to our past news page. EVERY event is posted with results. We didn't just make these events up. CALL the promoters on the info numbers or e-mail them. They will confirm these were REAL EVENTS; http://www.iscfmma.com/PastNews.htm
The same goes for this page; http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=stats.search&eventTeamSearch=International+Sport+Combat+Federation&x=55&y=4
And this page; http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=stats.search&eventTeamSearch=ISCF&x=23&y=8
If these guys were true and correct, we only did "4" events last year. AGAIN, WE LAUGHED!
"YOU" went on to comment; "Interestingly, the 2nd link has nothing more recent than 2007 and the first one shows 2008 as the last event. Truthfully, that makes me feel they are even less notable than before. Niteshift36"
How can you make such a comment? YOU haven't even attempted to look into the issue. You have never even went to the ISCF pages and looked at all the past ISCF events. Yet, you insult us as if we just pulled these numbers out of a hat with a comment like, "that makes me feel they are even less notable than before"
aktsu is even more rude and INCORRECT! For example, he wrote: Their MO seems to be to put their name on events promoted and put togheter by actual promotions (and sanctioned by actual sanctioning bodies, i.e. the state athletic commisions) while giving out titles to all the non-notable or barely notable fighters they can get to (because if they were actually notable they would sign with proper promotions whos titles are't meaningless).
AGAIN, HE/SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISCF IS!!!! The job and duty of a sanctioning body "IS" to put our name on events! We "SANCTION THEM!" We do not promote them. Again, aktsu is clueless as to what the ISCF is, or what role a "Sanctioning Body" has in the fight sports or ANYWHERE! Especially when he makes a comment like, "and sanctioned by actual sanctioning bodies, i.e. the state athletic commisions"... LOL, ISCF "IS" A SANCTIONING BODY!!! And APPROVED by MANY USA States as an Official Sanctioning Body! Even more funny is his comment, "while giving out titles to all the non-notable or barely notable fighters they can get to (because if they were actually notable they would sign with proper promotions whos titles are't meaningless)." what a FOOL! It is NOT our job to "Sign Fighters!!!" It would be unethical! "PROMOTERS AND PROMOTIONAL COMPANIES like UFC, Strikeforce, etc. sign fighters, NOT SANCTIONING BODIES!!!
aktsu goes on to say... "Seems to me the only reason some promotions are on board with this is because they are so small their own titles would actually mean even less than ISCF's"
Well, he does keep us LAUGHING! Events sanction with a sanctioning body to be assured they have officials NOT associated with the promotional company. "SUCH AS K-1" believe it or not, who use their own officials. the questions come up when this happens of "Are the officials helping the promoters fighters to win?" With a "Sanctioned event" the judging is fair, the referee is fair, ALL the officials are trained, certified and fair to the event! The sanctioning body assures the fighters are qualified to fight, physicals are done, a medical doctor if not two are at cageside or ringside, on and on. in fact, please direct aktsu to our RULES PAGE HERE:
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFRules.htm
Or our Sanctioning Page here;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFMMASanctioning.htm
This might help "EDUCATE" him and everyone attacking us as to the role of a sanctioning body. To make the events FAIR and SAFE for all involved, "A LOT" like a State Athletic or boxing commission!"
He goes on to say, (and I guess because "ISCF" sounds kind of impressive if you're clueless to what's behind it).
OK, I have to say it, WHAT AN IDIOT! He's the Idiot for making such a False claim! Again, HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ISCF OR WHAT A SANCTIONING BODY IS OR DOES! Maybe he just want's to slam the ISCF. Who knows, maybe he has an issue with our success, who knows, but one thing is for sure here, WHY IS SOMEONE WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIGHT SPORTS AND ESPECIALLY FIGHT SPORT SANCTIONING BODIES EDITING OUR PAGE!?!?
aktsu goes on to say... "The sole pro MMA "world" championship title they've given out was to Din Thomas in 2000, and he still haven't defended it even though he's fought 20 times (14 wins, 7 losses) since then because none of the promotions reckognized the title; i.e. none of the fights have been "ISCF-sanctioned"-bouts."
To assist him, thomas won his title before a lot of big promotions started signing fighters. It was the first ISCF World title won. There have been others, but again, aktsu didn't want to take a few seconds to look at our past champions page found here;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFChamps.htm
In addition, there is now another ISCF World Champion that it seems he missed. Keep in mind, our "GOAL" is not to give out World Titles. In fact, the reason we don't have one in EVERY weightclass (Something he didn't think about here) is because we have high standards as to WHO qualifies for an ISCF World title shot. we don't just tell a promoter (Like some sanctioning bodies do) pay us some $$ and you can have the world title. In addition, keep in mind. These UFC Champions are GREAT fighters. HOWEVER, UFC Champions are not always the BEST. Those who get a UFC Title shot are fighters UFC "SIGNED" to UFC. Something we, as a sanctioning body do not do! So think about this, if the best fighters are "SIGNED" by a promotional company like UFC or Strikeforce, they are NOT going to fight for an ISCF Title.
In addition, ISCF's main focus over the years has been for amateur mma. Obviously aktsu never bothered to look at the ISCF Amateur Rankings where there are MANY WORTHY Champions;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFAMRankings.htm
aktsu goes on to say... "Unless sources are provided to show the ISCF is notable outside their own little MMA-bubble I have to go "delete"."
Maybe aktsu should venture out of "HIS" bubble and try to learn more about "Sanctioning bodies!" it's clear, he knows NOTHING ABOUT THEM and is getting "Promotional companies who have their own titles with their own signed fighters mixed up with "Neutral non promoting sanctioning bodies..."
If ANYONE here REALLY wants to know more about the ISCF, we eagerly look forward to any and all of you to take some time and read this page for starters;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFMission.htm
After reading it, it would be well worth your time to actually research more about the ISCF on our pages as well as on promoters pages who "Sanction" with us instead of making false accusations and insults about us on your edit page here.
Now, the next questions would be,
1: "How can we get our wikapedia info site back up?
2: how can we be listed under the "Professional mixed martial arts organizations" section under "Sanctioning bodies and networks"?
Again, these are "PROMOTIONAL COMPANIES FOR MMA: UFC • WEC • Strikeforce • Bellator Fighting Championships • Art of War (US) • RITC • Ring of Combat • Adrenaline MMA • Ohio Xtreme Fighting • HDNet Fights • FFC • King of the Cage • Icon Sport • Tachi Palace Fights • WCF • IFC • Vyper Fight League • USA-MMA • Gladiator Challenge • Ultimate Warrior Challenge • Called Out MMA • Shine Fights • Ironheart Crown etc...
And THESE ARE SANCTIONING BODIES FOR MMA;
ISCF, ISKA, KICK, WKA, along with, World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts • Shooto • WWCN • North American Boxing Council • Japan Mixed Martial Arts Federation
I have to say I'm sorry that the comments above may seem rough back at you, but put yourselves in our place. Pretty much EVERYTHING you all said about the ISCF is simply NOT TRUE, and ALL of it can be backed up. As for the info being on our own web site, what is wrong with that? Heck, at least you can find all of our results. On ALL the sanctioning bodies I listed above, only about 2-3 others even have a news page or results page. Nearly ALL of them don't even have MMA rankings. WAMMA only has Pro rankings, and how many events have they sanctioned since they started being a sanctioning body? 5? 6? Really? And you have THEM listed??? LOL!
We hope everyone here can read our comments for what they are and take the emotions out of them. The simple truth is, ISCF is a "Sanctioning Body" NOT a "Promotional company". we DO not SIGN Fighters and it's not our job to offer up TITLES. Our job is to regulate the sport of MMA to assure safety and fairness. Or better put in our own mission statement;
The ISCF Mission For Mixed Martial Arts... "Safety, Credibility, Fairness, Recognition, Support & Unification of Mixed Martial Arts Around The World"
"The goal of the International Sport Combat Federation is to regulate safe and fair rules and regulations and help provide exposure and opportunities for local, regional, national and international competition among amateur and professional mixed martial arts fighters, trainers, promoters and officials. We will, through adherence to and enforcement of these rules and regulations, strive to make competitive mixed martial arts fighting a safe and fair sport as we continue to help bring exposure to and enhance the present as well as the future of the sport we serve, Mixed Martial Arts."
We hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, the Staff of the International Sport Combat Federation E-mail: info@iscfmma.com Phone: 916.663.2467 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.5.253.232 ( talk) 19:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I believe you were completely wrong and unjustified in your deletion of the Game Show Congress article on the following basis: you did not wait for consensus to be reached before you did so (4-4).

Hello Juliancolton,
My name is Paul Schindler and I wanted to ask you for the reason you have deleted the Wikipedia article on Chi Rho Omicron in Jan. 2009. The organization is very near and dear to my heart and I am saddened to see it not be available for others to see on such a respectable site as Wikipedia. I am asking you this because I see your name and link to the deletion page and would like an explanation and possible action I or Chi Rho Omicron can take to reinstate the stub. The page is important to establish our credibility and exposure. Since we still are a relatively young fraternity (8 chapters) we are trying to grow our membership and a vibrant and open Wikipedia article is essential to this end.
I look forward to your reply and I trust the situation can be remedied. You can reply to my personal e-mail @ schindler(dot)paul(at)gmail(dot)com.
Sincerely,
~~Paul Schindler XPO 247~~

You are receiving this message as you have voted in VOTE 3 at the Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll.
It has been pointed out that VOTE 3 was confusing, and that voters have been assuming that the question was about creating an actual two-phase CDA process. The question is merely about having a two-phase poll on CDA at the eventual RfC, where the community will have their vote (eg a "yes/no for CDA” poll, followed a choice of proposal types perhaps).
As I wrote the question, I'll take responsibility for the confusion. It does make sense if read through to the end, but it certainly wasn't as clear as it should have been, or needed to be!
Please amend your vote if appropriate - it seems that many (if not most) people interpreted the question in the way that was not intended.

Dear Julian Colton:
I am writing to inquire about my article that was deleted on January 15. Can you please help me understand the reason the article was deleted? The only note stated that I did not address the concerns placed by the nominator. If you look back at the discussion, we did add ALL of the secondary sources that are out there. It is a new theory and thus does not yet have an abudant supply of secondary resources, but it will. Was the nominator actually requesting supporting references? I can supply those if that is what you would like. The resources listed below are tantamount to a chronological line for how the theory developed.
ALSO, the only person, please understand that my knowledge and use of wiki in this way is VERY basic, (I am learning), who had academic or life experience to rate my page was the individual who noted that he was suggesting a STRONG KEEP. Again, I am not being critical, only noting that the readily available biographies of the others who cited me for deletion did not indicate a background that supports the comments that were made.
What can I provide that might get you to reconsider my page? The supporting references are listed below if that is what you wanted me to supply based on the nominator's comments.
Where will I be able to your dialogue with me? I do not want to post my email publicly, do you have a way to get it from within wiki as I gave it when I signed my login name up?
Thank you in advance. I am glad to provide ANY additional information if you will reconsider the deleted article.

I still believe the article is valid and appropriate, given he is a rising star driving IT innovation inside NASA and the wider US government.

Hi there. Please explain why you deleted the article. There was no consensus. The article was originally created with very few citations, peacock terms, etc, which is why deletes were quickly stated. I improved the article to establish notability and verifiability. I have even made an RfC on the article, but no one came in. I respectfully request that you review the article with fresh eyes with all citations now included. In line with wiki policy, I wish to first try and resolve the matter with you. Many thanks.

You're much closer to Coldplay Expert in age than I am. Is there no way you can get him to see sense? Disagreeing is fine, I do it several times each day, but there are ways of going about it that don't involve blatant abuse.

As requested in the Deletion review policy i'm first asking you to reconsider your evaluation of the "consensus" on deleting that page. The arguments for deletion certainly weren't strong nor complete and seemed to come from biased individuals, or at least condescending ones. Even if you decided not to agree with the notability issue, the merge/transfer to an existing indie rpg list option suggested by other posters (including me) should have been preferable to outright deletion.

I see, so simply referring to "secret signs" pointing to full pages of unclear and seemingly randomly-applied "policies" instead of giving real understandable arguments is indeed a "strong argument"... just too bad the other side didn't know "secret signs" too.

Hello:
You were recommended by The Thing Vandalize me and thought to ask for assistance.
These pages had problems with lack of citations and neutrality. I have attempted to make them less inflammatory and indicated on the article that they, for the most part, pertain to the majority of the United States. Both would be too limited in scope to include other cultures.
I have recently been making edits and adding links and citations to the articles, I think improving an article is better than deleting them. Covert racism looks to have attracted the ire of a few users who are BNP supporters, Fascist British National Party, so I thought not to ask for their views. THey may have a more skewed outlook on racism.
I was doing more research on a page I wrote called racebending, which was deleted, as a neologism, twice by a "deletionist". It has some popularity with Avatar: The Last Airbender fans. I currently have it saved in my userpage and you are welcome to have a look and perhaps give some pointers to make it ready for publication; without being deleted again.
From what I can read, all pertain to words that are being used in academia and gaining use in mainstream media.

I am unsure what is going on about the bigger picture but I when I have time will look at more of your prods...this one for example, the issue with uncited blp's it only that they are uncitable or derogatory or attacks on living people... stubs like this one that you had prodded that had a link to imbd with details that it is a real person clearly is not a attack and although there is perhaps a notability issue the stub is connected to something even if it is only the imbm comment, I have quite easily found a web link to detail about this person and added a citation, I have also done some of this work and my position is that unless an article is either a clear problem or if you have spent a good effort searching then it doesn't need prodding. There are a lot of uncited blp's but I have looked at many and have yet to find any big issues, they are uncited but they have had previous eyes and are not afaics desperate for prodding. The imbd external link is more than enough to say to me that there is some notability. Off2riorob ( talk) 21:39, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I was doing my best to strengthen the page that I created for muckandbrass.blogspot.com
I haven't done a page in wikipedia and my curve is therefore vertical.
An early comment was 'only one mention on telly'. I added a number of other media references eg Dail Mail, Guardian, Times, also Conservative Home page and Labout Home page.
Can you advise as, sadly, the page has gone and I didn't think to copy the text.
Many thanks.

Thank you for dealing with the DRV backlog at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 January 14. In your close here, you removed {{ DRV links}}. This template should remain on the page after a DRV close.

Hi Julian. Im currently expanding the WWI section of the List of German U-Boats. I want to include a table showing all of the ships that each U-Boat has sunk (quite a few are missing that info seeing as I created aobut 25 of them yesterday) and I was wondering, how can I make a table showing that info?

I think you were wrong in closing this as delete, and I wish you'd explained your reasoning.
In my opinion it's a trivial little article, but there's plenty of reason to think it meets the notability guidelines, albeit marginally.

Odd, I thought I'd responded here. Must have been interrupted. In any case, I believe the same user has asked a few times what evidence there is that unsourced BLPs attract more BLP-related problems than sourced BLPs, or even non-BLPs. One can put anything anywhere around here. You and a few others have been dismissive of that question. Trash was probably too strong of a word, and I apologize. But ignore, and perhaps belittle might be more accurate. So let me ask: is there any such evidence? Hobit ( talk) 02:35, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Julian. I have a quick question that I that thought you might be able to clear up for me. At this time, the “debate” regarding the deletion of ancient, unsourced, unwatchlisted BLPs is occuring at multiple places across Wikipedia:
WT:Unreferenced biographies of living people, although there is a suggestion to suspend this discussion pending the outcome of
WP:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people,
WT:Deletion of unreferenced BLPs, and finally,
While I understand why these various discussions have sprung up in the places that they are, when the time comes, how will consensus be determined when the discussion in not centralized in one spot? Why is there not one of those banner thingies that appear at the very top of the each page, right below the tabs, directing people to a centralized proposal/discussion/debate? I realize that we do not vote, per se, rather we !vote. Nonetheless, how can our !votes be tallied across so many locations? Thanks! — Spike Toronto 06:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time.

The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table.

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 00:09, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Julian. Happy New Year. I think we have addressed your questions about the images at WP:Featured article candidates/Lock Haven, Pennsylvania/archive1.

I posted a response to the entire post. It is rather long, so if you have a short attention span, please do not turn off the computer before you are done reading. If you are a slow reader, take breaks or read it the next day (but don't read one half today and the other half the next day due to the risk for insomnia). It also contains a small part of the big picture (all at once), and that might be mind-blowing for some people.

I am saddened to inform you that your RfB was closed as unsuccessful after bureaucrat discussion. I encourage you, however, to carefully review and consider the reasoning given by those who were opposed and use the information to address any valid concerns which may have been raised. You have a long history of excellent work on the site as an editor and as an administrator, and I encourage you to continue with that. I understand how frustrating it can be to have the community indicate that they aren't willing to accept your help in this role at this time, but I encourage you to use it as a stepping stone for improvement. I think you will eventually be successful in becoming a bureaucrat, should you choose to run again in the future. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything I can do to help. Thank you, again, for all your hard work. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 03:51, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Whatever, 209 wikipedians clearly think you are competent and ready to be a bureaucrat. I think it's a mistake to consider that bureaucrat is a higher level than adminship, but that's probably due that lamely quoted essay with the Jimbo quote about adminship being not a big deal. Good that you ran to see how many wikipedians support you. Now, go out and calmly start getting involved as an admin in some more controversial settlements. -- IP69.226.103.13 | Talk about me. 19:27, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Juliancolton, Thanks for responding to my username change request. I don’t want to leave Wikipedia permanently. What I want is to remove all traces of my former username from Wikipedia. I want all references to my former username to be replaced with references to the replacement username. Sincerely, Shiafishman ( talk) 20:21, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Dear Julian, Thank you so much for your reply to my request to change my Username. The reason I made the request is because when I initially became a Wikipedia User I did not fully understand the system and have noted that using one's own name is not always a good idea. I have found an amount of harassment, which is causing distress, as you can imagine.
In the meantime I have deleted all content on my Michael Baic Username page, which is now blank and I would obviously not wish anybody to userp my name and enter false details.
In addition to the above, I was very concerned about a deletion on Sir Frederick Ashton's page. I knew him very well indeed for many years and noticed I was mentioned as were the Pagets. Suddenly my name was deleted by someone and I was not able to restore it.It must have been an error but, whereas I am not particularly concerned if I am mentioned on his page or not, it is at least as relevant as that of the Pagets.
I apologise if I may appear to be somewhat ignorant as to the correct protocal re editing and changing etc, but you will understand that at 60, the mind is not as sharp as at 30!
Thanks so much for your help Julian. ----

January 7th, 2010. FROM THE ISCF International Sport Combat Federation
We hate to start out rude, but we feel greatly insulted by all the comments made about the past ISCF MMA info page. EVERYTHING that your staff have attacked us on can be EASILY answered in a simple, two-way conversation.
WHO ARE THESE "EDITORS" THAT HAVE SLAMMED US??? It's CLEAR they have no idea what the ISCF is!
We have no idea WHAT all of you are talking about in your posts however, we here at the ISCF would LOVE to be able to discuss all your false accusations and prove to you whatever we need to prove to make you happy. ALL ISCF events can be found on our past news page located here; http://www.iscfmma.com/PastNews.htm
Here is where you are a little confused. To begin with, the ISCF is a "SANCTIONING BODY" NOT a "PROMOTIONAL COMPANY" like the UFC, Strikeforce, King of the Cage, etc. etc.
Not to try and insult anyone here but it clearly appears from all of your comments attacking our credibility that no one here knows what a "SANCTIONING BODY is or does.
AGAIN, we are NOT Promoters, we "SANCTION events for proper rules, regulations and safety!
It would not have taken anyone here long to do a little research and find out about the ISCF because EVERYTHING we claim we have accomplished as well as do is CLEARLY documented on our web pages. We didn't just "MAKE THIS STUFF UP!"
The ISCF was the FIRST ever MMA Sanctioning body in the USA, and was created in 1999, LONG before any state athletic or boxing commissions started sanctioning the sport of MMA. If you want to look at "MMA" from a RULES topic, the ISCF was the first ever "MMA" Sanctioning body in the WORLD that truly sanctioned the sport of "Mixed Martial Arts". While "OTHER" groups such as SHOOTO Sanctioned their own styles, ISCF Sanctioned what was known as MMA today.
AGAIN, Groups such as UFC, Strikeforce, King of the Cage, these are "Promotional Companies", NOT Sanctioning bodies. We do not SIGN fighters. For more info on the ISCF, please go to; http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFMission.htm
For MMA Sanctioning bodies you have listed; World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts, Shooto, WWCN, North American Boxing Council and the Japan Mixed Martial Arts Federation.
However, you are still missing A LOT of other MMA "SANCTIONING BODIES" such as ISKA, WKA, KICK and of course, the ISCF.
If anyone here would have been respectful enough to speak to us before insulting us and deleating our info page, it would have been greatly appreciated. However, NO ONE here bothered to do this and NO ONE bothered to learn what a "SANCTIONING BODY" is or does.
Our e-mail address is info@iscfmma.com and our contact number is 916-663-2467. Again, we would be glad to "EXPLAIN" to ANYONE taking the jabs at us here the difference of a "SANCTIONING BODY" and a "PROMOTIONAL COMPANY" because it's CLEAR no one here knows the difference...
We Eagerly Looking forward to your reply and sorry if we were a little emotional in this message, but we took great offense to the attacks by the editors here for an organization we have all worked very hard in making credible among the MMA world.
Thank you for your time in this matter. Sincerely, ISCF MMA www.ISCFMMA.com 75.5.253.232 ( talk) 23:22, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
__________________
OK Niteshift36... No one here has unlimited HOURS to read through all you have asked us to read. Our point is the TERRIBLE Accusations and comments that you and the other editors made on the page that we first responded to. YES, we saw "Don't change it..." However, after reading what you have accused the ISCF of, ANYONE IN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE DONE WHAT WE DID!! you and the others were rude, insulting and ALL of your claimed accusations were FALSE!! AGAIN, your accusations were attacking us as if we were trying to be a UFC, or compete with UFC. WE ARE NOT AND DON'T WANT TO BE A UFC, WE ARE A "SANCTIONING BODY! NOT A PROMOTIONAL COMPANY! It was insulting to read the comments. For example, someone there referenced this page for event results; http://www.mmauniverse.com/organisations/SS22
We LAUGHED when we read this page. It says only 68 events from 1999 to 2008. Not only have they missed 2009, but they lissed A LOAD OF EVENTS.
If you really want to see what we have documented, "NOT WHAT SOME WEB SERFER 'FOUND' AND POSTED", go to our past news page. EVERY event is posted with results. We didn't just make these events up. CALL the promoters on the info numbers or e-mail them. They will confirm these were REAL EVENTS; http://www.iscfmma.com/PastNews.htm
The same goes for this page; http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=stats.search&eventTeamSearch=International+Sport+Combat+Federation&x=55&y=4
And this page; http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=stats.search&eventTeamSearch=ISCF&x=23&y=8
If these guys were true and correct, we only did "4" events last year. AGAIN, WE LAUGHED!
"YOU" went on to comment; "Interestingly, the 2nd link has nothing more recent than 2007 and the first one shows 2008 as the last event. Truthfully, that makes me feel they are even less notable than before. Niteshift36"
How can you make such a comment? YOU haven't even attempted to look into the issue. You have never even went to the ISCF pages and looked at all the past ISCF events. Yet, you insult us as if we just pulled these numbers out of a hat with a comment like, "that makes me feel they are even less notable than before"
aktsu is even more rude and INCORRECT! For example, he wrote: Their MO seems to be to put their name on events promoted and put togheter by actual promotions (and sanctioned by actual sanctioning bodies, i.e. the state athletic commisions) while giving out titles to all the non-notable or barely notable fighters they can get to (because if they were actually notable they would sign with proper promotions whos titles are't meaningless).
AGAIN, HE/SHE HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISCF IS!!!! The job and duty of a sanctioning body "IS" to put our name on events! We "SANCTION THEM!" We do not promote them. Again, aktsu is clueless as to what the ISCF is, or what role a "Sanctioning Body" has in the fight sports or ANYWHERE! Especially when he makes a comment like, "and sanctioned by actual sanctioning bodies, i.e. the state athletic commisions"... LOL, ISCF "IS" A SANCTIONING BODY!!! And APPROVED by MANY USA States as an Official Sanctioning Body! Even more funny is his comment, "while giving out titles to all the non-notable or barely notable fighters they can get to (because if they were actually notable they would sign with proper promotions whos titles are't meaningless)." what a FOOL! It is NOT our job to "Sign Fighters!!!" It would be unethical! "PROMOTERS AND PROMOTIONAL COMPANIES like UFC, Strikeforce, etc. sign fighters, NOT SANCTIONING BODIES!!!
aktsu goes on to say... "Seems to me the only reason some promotions are on board with this is because they are so small their own titles would actually mean even less than ISCF's"
Well, he does keep us LAUGHING! Events sanction with a sanctioning body to be assured they have officials NOT associated with the promotional company. "SUCH AS K-1" believe it or not, who use their own officials. the questions come up when this happens of "Are the officials helping the promoters fighters to win?" With a "Sanctioned event" the judging is fair, the referee is fair, ALL the officials are trained, certified and fair to the event! The sanctioning body assures the fighters are qualified to fight, physicals are done, a medical doctor if not two are at cageside or ringside, on and on. in fact, please direct aktsu to our RULES PAGE HERE:
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFRules.htm
Or our Sanctioning Page here;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFMMASanctioning.htm
This might help "EDUCATE" him and everyone attacking us as to the role of a sanctioning body. To make the events FAIR and SAFE for all involved, "A LOT" like a State Athletic or boxing commission!"
He goes on to say, (and I guess because "ISCF" sounds kind of impressive if you're clueless to what's behind it).
OK, I have to say it, WHAT AN IDIOT! He's the Idiot for making such a False claim! Again, HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE ISCF OR WHAT A SANCTIONING BODY IS OR DOES! Maybe he just want's to slam the ISCF. Who knows, maybe he has an issue with our success, who knows, but one thing is for sure here, WHY IS SOMEONE WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIGHT SPORTS AND ESPECIALLY FIGHT SPORT SANCTIONING BODIES EDITING OUR PAGE!?!?
aktsu goes on to say... "The sole pro MMA "world" championship title they've given out was to Din Thomas in 2000, and he still haven't defended it even though he's fought 20 times (14 wins, 7 losses) since then because none of the promotions reckognized the title; i.e. none of the fights have been "ISCF-sanctioned"-bouts."
To assist him, thomas won his title before a lot of big promotions started signing fighters. It was the first ISCF World title won. There have been others, but again, aktsu didn't want to take a few seconds to look at our past champions page found here;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFChamps.htm
In addition, there is now another ISCF World Champion that it seems he missed. Keep in mind, our "GOAL" is not to give out World Titles. In fact, the reason we don't have one in EVERY weightclass (Something he didn't think about here) is because we have high standards as to WHO qualifies for an ISCF World title shot. we don't just tell a promoter (Like some sanctioning bodies do) pay us some $$ and you can have the world title. In addition, keep in mind. These UFC Champions are GREAT fighters. HOWEVER, UFC Champions are not always the BEST. Those who get a UFC Title shot are fighters UFC "SIGNED" to UFC. Something we, as a sanctioning body do not do! So think about this, if the best fighters are "SIGNED" by a promotional company like UFC or Strikeforce, they are NOT going to fight for an ISCF Title.
In addition, ISCF's main focus over the years has been for amateur mma. Obviously aktsu never bothered to look at the ISCF Amateur Rankings where there are MANY WORTHY Champions;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFAMRankings.htm
aktsu goes on to say... "Unless sources are provided to show the ISCF is notable outside their own little MMA-bubble I have to go "delete"."
Maybe aktsu should venture out of "HIS" bubble and try to learn more about "Sanctioning bodies!" it's clear, he knows NOTHING ABOUT THEM and is getting "Promotional companies who have their own titles with their own signed fighters mixed up with "Neutral non promoting sanctioning bodies..."
If ANYONE here REALLY wants to know more about the ISCF, we eagerly look forward to any and all of you to take some time and read this page for starters;
http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFMission.htm
After reading it, it would be well worth your time to actually research more about the ISCF on our pages as well as on promoters pages who "Sanction" with us instead of making false accusations and insults about us on your edit page here.
Now, the next questions would be,
1: "How can we get our wikapedia info site back up?
2: how can we be listed under the "Professional mixed martial arts organizations" section under "Sanctioning bodies and networks"?
Again, these are "PROMOTIONAL COMPANIES FOR MMA: UFC • WEC • Strikeforce • Bellator Fighting Championships • Art of War (US) • RITC • Ring of Combat • Adrenaline MMA • Ohio Xtreme Fighting • HDNet Fights • FFC • King of the Cage • Icon Sport • Tachi Palace Fights • WCF • IFC • Vyper Fight League • USA-MMA • Gladiator Challenge • Ultimate Warrior Challenge • Called Out MMA • Shine Fights • Ironheart Crown etc...
And THESE ARE SANCTIONING BODIES FOR MMA;
ISCF, ISKA, KICK, WKA, along with, World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts • Shooto • WWCN • North American Boxing Council • Japan Mixed Martial Arts Federation
I have to say I'm sorry that the comments above may seem rough back at you, but put yourselves in our place. Pretty much EVERYTHING you all said about the ISCF is simply NOT TRUE, and ALL of it can be backed up. As for the info being on our own web site, what is wrong with that? Heck, at least you can find all of our results. On ALL the sanctioning bodies I listed above, only about 2-3 others even have a news page or results page. Nearly ALL of them don't even have MMA rankings. WAMMA only has Pro rankings, and how many events have they sanctioned since they started being a sanctioning body? 5? 6? Really? And you have THEM listed??? LOL!
We hope everyone here can read our comments for what they are and take the emotions out of them. The simple truth is, ISCF is a "Sanctioning Body" NOT a "Promotional company". we DO not SIGN Fighters and it's not our job to offer up TITLES. Our job is to regulate the sport of MMA to assure safety and fairness. Or better put in our own mission statement;
The ISCF Mission For Mixed Martial Arts... "Safety, Credibility, Fairness, Recognition, Support & Unification of Mixed Martial Arts Around The World"
"The goal of the International Sport Combat Federation is to regulate safe and fair rules and regulations and help provide exposure and opportunities for local, regional, national and international competition among amateur and professional mixed martial arts fighters, trainers, promoters and officials. We will, through adherence to and enforcement of these rules and regulations, strive to make competitive mixed martial arts fighting a safe and fair sport as we continue to help bring exposure to and enhance the present as well as the future of the sport we serve, Mixed Martial Arts."
We hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, the Staff of the International Sport Combat Federation E-mail: info@iscfmma.com Phone: 916.663.2467 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.5.253.232 ( talk) 19:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

yo, regarding your last edit, i was wondering about that. should it be the 6th or 7th for dissipation? i looked at other articles, and i assumed dissipation was when it became extratropical, but the best track has it as extratropical exactly on the 7th. is that what i should do in the future? -- Viennaiswaiting ( talk) 04:46, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi Juliancolton, I saw that you submitted the Tropical Storm Henri (2009) to count as a GA for the wikicup. The article was last changed by you in december.

I believe you were completely wrong and unjustified in your deletion of the Game Show Congress article on the following basis: you did not wait for consensus to be reached before you did so (4-4). Also, in doing so, you chose to disregard legitimate votes to keep the page, which IIRC a Wiki admin does not have the right to do. I would urge you to reconsider. -- ChrisP2K5 ( talk) 05:24, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Juliancolton,
My name is Paul Schindler and I wanted to ask you for the reason you have deleted the Wikipedia article on Chi Rho Omicron in Jan. 2009. The organization is very near and dear to my heart and I am saddened to see it not be available for others to see on such a respectable site as Wikipedia. I am asking you this because I see your name and link to the deletion page and would like an explanation and possible action I or Chi Rho Omicron can take to reinstate the stub. The page is important to establish our credibility and exposure. Since we still are a relatively young fraternity (8 chapters) we are trying to grow our membership and a vibrant and open Wikipedia article is essential to this end.
I look forward to your reply and I trust the situation can be remedied. You can reply to my personal e-mail @ schindler(dot)paul(at)gmail(dot)com.
Sincerely,
~~Paul Schindler XPO 247~~
Julian, I've given Coldplay Expert a bit of advice at his mentoring page. Hopefully, he'll get the message and listen to what you're telling him. Nobody else can help anymore. This is something he needs to figure out by himself. ceran thor 20:27, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

( Gehaner ( talk) 06:42, 13 January 2010 (UTC)) This article did meet requirements of wiki. This person was signed to a important indie record label, Sun Studios which had Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and many more. also a current member of The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. All of the criteria for the article to stay was proven back in 2006 and that is why it was left alone until now, Please put the article back up. Thank you.
Criteria for musicians and ensembles:
Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/OptiPNG, since afd is not a vote, what would you say were the keep arguments employed which were policy based? it seems that the delete arguments were "there are no third party, reliable sources. hence, notability has not been established." and it seems that the keep arguments were basically "i like it, and i think other people like it too, but i can't prove this through reliable sources". i was just wondering if there was a valid keep argument, not counted as a vote, which i missed. thanks.

Hi Julian. I saw your note on Wikipedia Review about cleaning up the atom article. I would also like to take the mop to Existence which is a good example of how bad Wikipedia can get.

You are receiving this message as you have voted in VOTE 3 at the Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll.
It has been pointed out that VOTE 3 was confusing, and that voters have been assuming that the question was about creating an actual two-phase CDA process. The question is merely about having a two-phase poll on CDA at the eventual RfC, where the community will have their vote (eg a "yes/no for CDA” poll, followed a choice of proposal types perhaps).
As I wrote the question, I'll take responsibility for the confusion. It does make sense if read through to the end, but it certainly wasn't as clear as it should have been, or needed to be!
Please amend your vote if appropriate - it seems that many (if not most) people interpreted the question in the way that was not intended.

Dear Julian Colton:
I am writing to inquire about my article that was deleted on January 15. Can you please help me understand the reason the article was deleted? The only note stated that I did not address the concerns placed by the nominator. If you look back at the discussion, we did add ALL of the secondary sources that are out there. It is a new theory and thus does not yet have an abudant supply of secondary resources, but it will. Was the nominator actually requesting supporting references? I can supply those if that is what you would like. The resources listed below are tantamount to a chronological line for how the theory developed.
ALSO, the only person, please understand that my knowledge and use of wiki in this way is VERY basic, (I am learning), who had academic or life experience to rate my page was the individual who noted that he was suggesting a STRONG KEEP. Again, I am not being critical, only noting that the readily available biographies of the others who cited me for deletion did not indicate a background that supports the comments that were made.
What can I provide that might get you to reconsider my page? The supporting references are listed below if that is what you wanted me to supply based on the nominator's comments.
Where will I be able to your dialogue with me? I do not want to post my email publicly, do you have a way to get it from within wiki as I gave it when I signed my login name up?
Thank you in advance. I am glad to provide ANY additional information if you will reconsider the deleted article.

I just saw the article on the NASA Ames Research Center CIO Chris C Kemp was deleted following a 2nd deletion debate. I'm wondering whether there is any suggestions you can give as to how to create an article about him that satisfies the wikipedia standards. I still believe the article is valid and appropriate, given he is a rising star driving IT innovation inside NASA and the wider US government. There is a real interest in his work and achievements from within NASA and the government, and there are several third party references which back this up so its not a subjective story I am trying to push here.

As requested in the Deletion review policy i'm first asking you to reconsider your evaluation of the "consensus" on deleting that page. The arguments for deletion certainly weren't strong nor complete and seemed to come from biased individuals, or at least condescending ones. Even if you decided not to agree with the notability issue, the merge/transfer to an existing indie rpg list option suggested by other posters (including me) should have been preferable to outright deletion.

Hello:
You were recommended by The Thing Vandalize me and thought to ask for assistance.
These pages had problems with lack of citations and neutrality. I have attempted to make them less inflammatory and indicated on the article that they, for the most part, pertain to the majority of the United States. Both would be too limited in scope to include other cultures.
I have recently been making edits and adding links and citations to the articles, I think improving an article is better than deleting them. Covert racism looks to have attracted the ire of a few users who are BNP supporters, Fascist British National Party, so I thought not to ask for their views. THey may have a more skewed outlook on racism.
I was doing more research on a page I wrote called racebending, which was deleted, as a neologism, twice by a "deletionist". It has some popularity with Avatar: The Last Airbender fans. I currently have it saved in my userpage and you are welcome to have a look and perhaps give some pointers to make it ready for publication; without being deleted again.
From what I can read, all pertain to words that are being used in academia and gaining use in mainstream media.

I am unsure what is going on about the bigger picture but I when I have time will look at more of your prods...this one for example, the issue with uncited blp's it only that they are uncitable or derogatory or attacks on living people... stubs like this one that you had prodded that had a link to imbd with details that it is a real person clearly is not a attack and although there is perhaps a notability issue the stub is connected to something even if it is only the imbm comment, I have quite easily found a web link to detail about this person and added a citation, I have also done some of this work and my position is that unless an article is either a clear problem or if you have spent a good effort searching then it doesn't need prodding. There are a lot of uncited blp's but I have looked at many and have yet to find any big issues, they are uncited but they have had previous eyes and are not afaics desperate for prodding.

Hello, as one of the users who certified the RfC/U, I thought I would draw your attention to Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Wuhwuzdat#Motion_to_close, a motion to close the RfC/U as the most recent concern has been dealt with, and Wuhwuzdat has gone on a wikibreak, possibly indefinately, thus there seems little additional purpose to the RfC/U, as he will hopefully have taken the comments on board. Hope this helps, -- Taelus ( talk) 01:19, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
I thought I'd share this diff with you: [23] since the discussion actually started on your talk page because you were the deleting admin from the first AfD. The article went to AfD again, and was deleted again. He has me pegged as a teenager. I bet I'm older than he is. Funny stuff. Niteshift36 ( talk) 01:22, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I was doing my best to strengthen the page that I created for muckandbrass.blogspot.com
I haven't done a page in wikipedia and my curve is therefore vertical.
An early comment was 'only one mention on telly'. I added a number of other media references eg Dail Mail, Guardian, Times, also Conservative Home page and Labout Home page.
Can you advise as, sadly, the page has gone and I didn't think to copy the text.
Many thanks.

As you have deleted the article I can't find any link to it. I was, to the best of my ability, attempting to add media references of which there are quite a few. The only link I can find is via google and is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muckandbrass This takes me to the deleted page and I cannot access the text of the deleted site. Can you please advise me? Many thanks. Niall Connolly-- 83.104.35.146 ( talk) 16:29, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for dealing with the DRV backlog at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 January 14. In your close here, you removed {{ DRV links}}. This template should remain on the page after a DRV close. Additionally, the article (or file/category/template) that is being reviewed for deletion should remain enclosed in internal links. Compare this with this. I made those changes with this edit. Thanks for your work here and for the tedious labor you have put into palliating the BLP problem. Cheers, Cunard ( talk) 08:24, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Julian. Im currently expanding the WWI section of the List of German U-Boats. I want to include a table showing all of the ships that each U-Boat has sunk (quite a few are missing that info seeing as I created aobut 25 of them yesterday) and I was wondering, how can I make a table showing that info? To keep things consistent, I would like it to resemble the table on SM U-35. Any help would be nice. Thanks.-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk 23:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
I think you were wrong in closing this as delete, and I wish you'd explained your reasoning.
In my opinion it's a trivial little article, but there's plenty of reason to think it meets the notability guidelines, albeit marginally. Stuff like this is at least as useful to Wikipedia as its vast array of articles on porn actresses, for example. MarkBernstein ( talk) 23:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey, perhaps you could chime in at Template talk:2010 Haiti earthquake#A huge collection of unrelated stuff about the scope of this template. Grsz 11 02:10, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Odd, I thought I'd responded here. Must have been interrupted. In any case, I believe the same user has asked a few times what evidence there is that unsourced BLPs attract more BLP-related problems than sourced BLPs, or even non-BLPs. One can put anything anywhere around here. You and a few others have been dismissive of that question. Trash was probably too strong of a word, and I apologize. But ignore, and perhaps belittle might be more accurate. So let me ask: is there any such evidence? Hobit ( talk) 02:35, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Greetings. I notice that you put your name down for the Great Wikipedia Dramaout before participating in the wikidrama surrounding unsourced BLPs over the last few days. If you decided that a crisis of such unforeseen magnitude required your immediate attention I certainly don't hold that choice against you, and I'm sure the Dramaout page wasn't too high on your list of priorities, but if you have a minute to spare maybe you could strike your entry there for the sake of clarity?

As you can probably tell by my lack of presence on IRC, I've been having issues with my laptop recently. The hard drive has broken and the computer is currently at the store awaiting repair. Because of this, my editing and response time will be significantly slower and for the time being, I will no longer be able to create tracks for WPTC. Also, I'll see what I can do with the FTRC's. If you want, I'll create a base article for a timeline, showing how to develop it, so you can make you own timelines whenever you want. Cheers, Cyclonebiskit ( talk) 20:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Julian. I have a quick question that I that thought you might be able to clear up for me. At this time, the “debate” regarding the deletion of ancient, unsourced, unwatchlisted BLPs is occuring at multiple places across Wikipedia:
WT:Unreferenced biographies of living people, although there is a suggestion to suspend this discussion pending the outcome of
WP:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people,
WT:Deletion of unreferenced BLPs, and finally,
While I understand why these various discussions have sprung up in the places that they are, when the time comes, how will consensus be determined when the discussion in not centralized in one spot? Why is there not one of those banner thingies that appear at the very top of the each page, right below the tabs, directing people to a centralized proposal/discussion/debate? I realize that we do not vote, per se, rather we !vote. Nonetheless, how can our !votes be tallied across so many locations? Thanks! — Spike Toronto 06:38, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

User's been blocked four times for editwarring, now he's socking. This isn't about content, this is about prolonged, dedicated abuse of Wikipedia policies and guidelines related to user behaviors. In a week or so, the user will be back, again frustrating established users actually trying to move pagespace forward. I have zero reason to believe this user will change spots. What should I do when his abuse occurs again? BusterD ( talk) 01:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I have stop working on this article Tropical Storm Arlene (1993), but I have decided to work on Hurricane Hugo which needed editing very badly. Especially the fact that Hurricane Hugo had that MH Section with only like 10 sentences before I started working on it. I will get back to the Tropical Storm Arlene (1993) article after I think I have done enough for the Hurricane Hugo article. -- 12george1 ( talk) 02:25, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
I would love to nominate German Type UB I submarine for a FAC but the only problem is that the article's only major contributor (other than myslef as I have only added ref's and done some general minor editing) Bellhalla seemes to have retired. What can I do? I am sure that the article will pass the FAC without any issues that I cannot fix. (seeing as every sentense has a citation and it is very well written) But I don't think that I am eligable to nominate it. It would do Bellhalla good to have one of their artilces approved to FA class even after they have left.-- Coldplay Expért Let's talk 03:17, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Julian, I had recently submitted a deletion review for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erfan, the recreation was permitted and final approval was by you at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Erfan_.28closed.29.
I tried to post the approved new version up on the erfan wiki page and it won't allow me, it reads "This page is currently protected". The reason given is that its in deletion review but its not in review anymore and recreation has been permitted. Can you help please.
