Hello. I just started doing some research on songwriter Jim Steinman. When I searched on Google, two wiki pages came up in the listings, but one of them seems to have been deleted by you this past May. Specifcially, a page listing all of Jim Steinman's written songs. I couldn't find a specific reason for the deletion (and I admit the codes Wiki uses are baffling to me). Could you please explain, and if the page was originally written by you yourself, would you be willing to share the info you have privately? I'd find it most helpful, as I am working on a music project as a gift for a friend's birthday.
Thank you. If you like, you can reply to me directly via email (my address is registered here).

Why did you remove the images of the male chest showing the disease in the 3rd and 5th months? Tvbanfield ( talk) 03:33, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
If you go to the History tab for Grover's disease and then go to the revision you made on 29 May 2009, you will see the change you called "replaced category chronic blistering skin conditions... etc.
then click on the "prev" version and you will see two photos of a male chest showing the disease in the 3rd and 5th months. If you click on "cur" you will see in red that you removed both of those images. I appreciate your efforts in cleaning up the article, but if you intended to remove the images, I ask why. Tvbanfield ( talk) 17:45, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for sorting me out. I must have mis-clicked when I was trying to review the edit history. Sorry to have bothered you. It seems there was some vandalism and that the images were removed in the Feb 2 revision by 209.183.55.82 and just today were restored by Vegaswikian. Tvbanfield ( talk) 04:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
JzG can be infuriating at times, but even I don't usually just revert him! [2] DuncanHill ( talk) 12:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
I write to invite you to join others in becoming a co-mentor for me.
You may be unaware that the "Finding of facts" in the decision at Tang Dynasty explicitly encompasses a message on your talk page -- see User talk:Kbdank71#Construing an enemies list on your user page?
Your experience will help remedy a deficit in the composition of a small group. The nascent status of a mentorship committee is clarified in the currently active thread at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification/Tang Dynasty. Hopefully, this mentorship experiment will prove to be more effective and less burdensome than previous wiki-mentoring schemes.
This is a time for hortatory concepts. Do you know this one?
If Wikiquote:Helen Keller#Misattributed is to believed, then I am not alone in linking these words with Helen Keller. The salient question becomes this: Does precise attribution matter in the context of a teachable moment? No – not always, but often.
What can I say or do to convince you to agree tentatively?
Core policies are the tools at hand; and if you agree to help connect the dots, it could benefit more than me. In this search for a mentor deemed acceptable by ArbCom, I cite Wikipedia:Mentorship#Unintended consequences as a plausible context for discussing what I have in mind.
Your background causes me to share something already explained to another prospective mentor, "Among a prospective mentor's many burdens, the most difficult would involve (a) helping me discern why or when I should apologize or (b) helping me to explain why or when I will not apologize in a wiki-context" -- see diff. May I offer an on-topic writing sample? As you think about agreeing to join a mentorship committee, please review Patrick Lennox Tierney#Showa apology rebuffed.
Are you willing to look into this a bit further? I assume that time constraints will limit your participation; but perhaps you might consider making yourself available as a "non-public mentor", as an advisor to the co-mentors whose questions are likely to be different than mine?
If you please, contact me by e-mail or on my talk page. -- Tenmei ( talk) 19:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
Happy fifth anniversary :) Well, of your first edit anyways. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 16:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
can you please review this closurer, that category is being accessed 400~600 times per month and complies with the definition of a category according to WP:Category Categories should be useful for readers to find and navigate sets of related articles. They should be the categories under which readers would most likely look if they were not sure of where to find an article on a given subject and it also fails the negative WP:OC#Trivia If something could be easily left out of a biography, it is likely not a defining characteristic.. No bio article would pass WP:FAC or even WP:GAC if the date was known and left out os its an important characteristic. Gnan garra 22:21, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Category:People born on February 29. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Gnan garra 01:50, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
So, I see your user and talk pages pop up on my watchlist, and the edits are from, of all people, you. How's life been treating you? -- Kbdank71 14:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Following up on our discussion last year, I decided not to initiate deletion review at the time due to discussions surrounding the more general use of such categories. Since then, it has become apparent to me that the deletion of this category has made the situation worse with regards to the categorisation of such articles. I am also still unconvinced by your interpretation of consensus within the debate. I therefore ask you to reconsider whether restoring the category would be a good idea. -- G W … 10:25, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
I wanna make a new category for this, and it says you deleted a page with the name "People who married their cousins". Why did you delete it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BuckwikiPDa535 ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Did this information get merged into the Linux entry as a subchapter? I'm too lazy to read it all to find out.
I wanted this information though. I can't help but be curious as to why you deleted the entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickddonnelly ( talk • contribs) 00:43, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
Early life and work of Clint Eastwood, Clint Eastwood in the 1960s, Clint Eastwood in the 1970s, Clint Eastwood filmography, Clint Eastwood in popular culture. You lied when you claimed that Category:Clint Eastwood would be empty with only films directed by Clint Eastwood. How else do we connect these articles? Early life and career of Barack Obama is categorised sensibly as Category:Barack Obama. Early life of Rabindranath Tagore similar is categorised as Category:Rabindranath Tagore. Now why is Clint Eastwood not enough of a being to have a category when multiple articles exist. It makes perfect sense to me to categorise it as Clint Eastwood rather than "Living people". Another clumsy deletion. If it were that the category was empty other than films directed by, then it would be redundant. But the category is intended to connect together the sub articles on him which were split from the main article. This is what categories are for. No I wouldn't normally recommend we have categories for people but when there is enough articles to constitute a category and in this case makes sense I don't see why he shouldn't have a category.

Why did you delete this category? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.29.66 ( talk) 22:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Not going to jinx things by saying I'm back... but I seem to be somewhat around.
Just thought I'd see how you (and other page watchers) are doing : ) - jc37 22:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedia images available as SVG, which you created, has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 22:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Amendment#Request_to_amend_prior_case:_Koavf. This request was initiated by Koavf, but as far as his contributions show, he didn't notify any user...so I'm notifying you because you participated in the discussion that led to the community sanction.

Category:State Terrorism has been deleted twice, most recently by you. I just noticed that someone has created Category:Terrorism committed by country, effectively the same category. What's the appropriate course of action here? - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 03:16, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
There is a question (no real disagreement, though) at this CfD regarding whether CSD G4 applies to Category:Fictional characters debuts and its subcategories. Since you closed the original Ficitonal characters by year discussion, could you please weigh in on the matter? Thank you, -- Black Falcon ( talk) 18:53, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
I am not very savy about Wikipedia so I hope you can help me. A few years ago I created a site for Camp Biscayne (resort) which you have looked at. I just had a look and discovered that although the title is correct in the first section of the entry it called "Camp Botany" three times!
HELP - I don't know how to change it. I became curator of the Barnacle Historic State Park in January of 2004 and have spent a lot of time reading and re-reading Ralph Munroe's autobiography. The park has the origina sign for "Camp Biscayne" (I want a picture of it on the site but that is a project for another day).
If you could fix this to read "Camp Biscayne" instead of Botany I'd really appreciate it. I can edit the rest - I just cannot get to this section.
ALSO I don't know why it is considered an orphan as there are a lot of other articles linked to it - many of the guests have their own wiki pages, as do Ralph Munroe, and the park. As more guests are listed (I've been deep in some other projects for the last several months) there will be more links.
THANK YOU,

Hi. I saw that you closed the CfD for Category:Lists of U.S. locations with large ethnic populations as no consensus. While I agree that there was not consensus on the appropriate name for the category, I think there was consensus that it should be moved. I can't see that this outcome, which leaves the category with its present name, satisfies anyone who commented on the CfD. Do you have any suggestions for what should happen next? Cordless Larry ( talk) 11:08, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
I guess I did not understand when the CfD instructions mention that it is OK to proceed with merging if 7 days have passed with no objections. I waited 7 days, and the only comment was concur. I do not want to be accussed of breaking the rules again, so would you please explain what exactly I did wrong and the difference between waiting the 7 days and waiting for closure? I really appreciate it! jsfouche ☽☾ Talk 17:03, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
