Hi Kudpung, just doing a spot of NPP'ing and came across Smith Wildman and Jennie (Hearne) Brookhart House. I can't find any specific guidelines on architectural notability.

dhi kudpung. if this page is the wrong forum for this then why are you continuing to discuss it here, and not in some more appropriate forum? also the discussion was done and i thought it was over until you updated this AND notified me of this on my talk page which means i should respond right? i asked a simple question here and its only because toddsp1 decided to bring the dispute to this page that it continued here at all. i also dont like your accusation that the majority of my edits are complains about other editors. according to [2] more than half of my edits are to articles. only in the past few days have i even gone into this area of wikipedia where users seem to interact more. the same cant be said of you [3], so if youre going to tell someone to build articles, maybe it should be someone who has less article edits percentage than you? im sorry but your response seems to ill-enformed and inflammatory that i had to respond to it. please let this all stop now. i am going to copy this to your talk page please respond there since as you say this is not the appropriate place for this discussion.

To be honest, even figuring out how to respond to you was not easy for me. I appreciate very much your help and direction. I want to be a contributing member here and not just a one issue person. It just happens that this particular issue, Ben's page, is something that I am devoting everything I can to..I believe in it, and in what has happened because of him. I truly do not mean to be disrespectful to other members, but find that I see room for interpretation in many policies and...I'm finding that I have a problem with the jabs flying around. I hear what you are saying about the page not being the place to argue about the policies...but that seems to get folded into things when people can look at the very same words and see different things. I am not ashamed to say that I am literally praying that this page does not get deleted. There was a huge impact here and I did take the time to read approximately 600-800 messages left to Ben on places like Legacy.om and on his Breedlove tv channel. It is not cliche stuff; it is real, poignant, and in many cases very specific examples of how he changed their lives. To me, it is also noteworthy when thousands of teenagers risk peer judgement to leave such messages. This is a phenomenon that happens to fall within the category of something making things better. I hope that has a place in cultural history at Wikipedia. As for navigating through this new world here at Wikipedia...I'm more confused than I have ever been. That in itself is enough to make a person a one issue member, but I am going to keep trying. Again, thank you for your polite and kind way of trying to educate someone like me...who probably seems like a freakish hot mess. Tina Petersontinam ( talk) 05:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, I've been patrolling the NP log lately, and I've spotted a several creations of (to me) redundant articles by user Toto le chat. They've been creating articles like 2012 in Romania, 1992 in Russia, 2012 in Moldova and 2012 in Denmark. I don't think what the purposes of these articles are, when there are categories like Category:2012 in Denmark and Category:1992 in Russia; that articles like that cannot be written in prose anyway, and have to be lists, which is essentially the job of categories. What do you think? -- Sp33dyphil © hat ontributions 06:18, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

You might also want to ask The Rambling Man, who does much at WP:FLC, to look at the article and comment on it too (and ask him some of the same questions). As to the questions: 1) With over 150 entries, is it viable or necessary to make a table? I do not think it is necessary to have tables. If the list can be split into sections, it may be easier to have tables in the article. 2) Can FUR be used for images of people for whom it is no longer possible to obtain photos? I think so, although I owuld limit the number of fair use images as much as possible. 2) Are referenced extracts of the school register acceptable as RS? I am not 100% sure what the school register is. I assume it is some sort of official document of the school and so I think it would be OK - has it been published?

Hi Kudpung,
Thanks for your speedy response to my query regarding Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon.
You may be aware that although King Henry VIII had only one recognised illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, he had a number of others such as John Perrot and Thomas Stukley. The conjectural circumstantial evidence of these two is shaky. With Francis Hastings there is a passing reference that his mother was a mistress of Henry VIII but no further contemporary suggestion that he was an illegitimate son of Henry VIII.
My contribution is merely a collection of various pieces of facts available from numerous sources on the internet that there is a far stronger case to include Francis Hastings than indeed John Perrot and Thomas Stukley whose claims are largely circumstantial.
I include my article again for you to consider my case that Francis should be given the same status historically as an alleged illegitimate son of King Henry VIII as John Perrot and Thomas Stuckely. My hope is to use Wikipedia as a medium to engage in an academic debate into the parentage of Francis Hastings.
BTW, I am going to Malvern this weekend!
Regards
John

Hey, sorry for the delay on the response. I'm in the camp of the chunk of people really burned out from this site right now, and it's actually taking a lot of energy to post anything at all here. For the two primary schools, I took into account the responses, or lack thereof, in those AfDs compared to the others. Admittedly I did find it odd since there was like a batch of 20 or so. In hindsight I should have just relisted them; if you insist on redirects for those two then it's alright. Knollwood, on the other hand, I've read a couple times now, and some of the redirect "votes" struck me as redirects in name only; were you to remove the bold text it would read like a delete rationale, and the only other rationale was that we've done that before. Just because something's done one way doesn't necessarily mean it has to be that way for eternity. I can see other admins closing it as a redirect, but that's if you're just reading the bold text. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:48, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
It seems to me that Epeefleche has typed "primary school" into the search box and then sent every single one to AfD without any other actual thought on the matter. There are now 10(?) instances where he has demonstrated that s/he simply pushes articles to AfD without any other thought. I think this move to AfD every primary school is too rushed and there have been too many mistakes. The workload it has created has been insane, and I've only been involved for the last ~45 nominations (I apparently missed the first 105).
I think his/her school related AfD's have to be set aside until someone is prepared to do sections C and D from WP:BEGIN or points 8 and 9 from WP:Guide_to_deletion#Considerations. ˜ danjel [ talk | contribs ] 09:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Kudpung, thanks for drawing my attention to this. I agree with you that actively going around looking for stuff to delete is quite inappropriate. Notability is in reality a rather elastic concept and I don't think it matters at all if there are some primary school articles floating around where the notability is questionable. If in doubt, leave it in. If somebody has gone to the trouble of producing a reasonable article even if the subject is not really all that notable, I think it is wrong to delete it. It's not doing any harm and somebody might find it useful. -- Alarics ( talk) 11:47, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Carrite. I see perhaps that the idea of an eventual RfC on school notability may not be as dead as I might have though it was. That said, I do think an RfC would have a far greater chance of success if it had a neutral statement, rather than expressing any deletionist/incusionist leanings, rather than attempting by its very syntax, to persuade participants to support a singular point of view. Because I am also very keen to arrive finally at a consensus that I can implement, whichever way the cookie crumbles, I would support and offer as much help as possible - as I did in the beginning with my original example - a neutrally worded proposal that offers the history of the issue, and allows the !voters to make up their own minds, but I may come out with some heavy opposition if this is not to be the case. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:45, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
My dog in the fight is a desire to get this out of AfD. The only real reason for permitting school articles is to give students something to work on, but I think that a truly essential need to recruiting new editors. But I cannot get too excited about elementary schools being deleted, as relatively few editors at that level are really ready to contribute. However, I would get very aroused against any attempt to start deleting high schools, where students can make passable articles. Basically, I no longer giver a damn is a few borderline notable articles get into Wikipedia. They are not a danger There are two dangers we face: one is allowing promotionalism. and the other is discouraging new editors/ I tend to judge other problems in terms of those. The question in constructing rfcs about notability is the attitude of those who truly thing, contrary to policy, that the gng is something which must indispensably be met without exception, and the only place for special rules is restricting it further. Some rules, like athlete, can work that way ; but some like WP:PROF do not. I no longer care much about y what articles we have, for thats just temporary; I care about what contributors wer have, because they're the future. DGG ( talk ) 07:44, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm thinking that Epeefleche has to be taken to WP:ANI now. I think that the recourse has to be that s/he is topicbanned from AfD's relating to schools.
Looking at his contributions, there were extremely small gaps between the nominations that he was making. I strongly doubt that he paid any attention to WP:BEFORE or WP:Guide to deletion#Considerations at all. In particular, and on top of the examples already copiously extant in WP:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Schools, there was:
Of special notice, halfway down the page here, it seems that he made 33 nominations in 2½ hours between 0729, Dec. 25 and 0956, Dec. 25. He excels himself again between 1105 and 1112 by making 6 nominations in 7 minutes. With such short gaps between nominations, there is simply no way that he is putting any level of consideration into any of his AfD nominations. ˜ danjel [ talk | contribs ] 03:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Girard, Ohio/ Girard Education-Things were fine until I was listing the City that NON-Girard schools were located in..if new schools keep getting added to a City page, I felt it should at least be clear. For some reason, only one school from Niles OH was added, while there are a total of 8 schools in Niles. Also, two Youngstown schools were in the list (Liberty HS and William S Guy), though they would seem to belong within the Youngstown page (article). Help me to understand, please- If schools are being redirected to other pages because of AfD's, wouldn't all of the City's schools go there? Is there a type of overlapping or reconfiguration of school districts that I haven't been able to find? Youngstown reconfigured within their own city, but I can't find where two of their schools would end up in Girard. I can keep going with this, no problem, but I need to know if when a City's schools are being deleted and redirected...does that mean the City also was deleted or just those specific schools off of a page...and if it just those specific schools, then why some and not others? This is far beyond my comprehension. Please look at my edit to Girard/Education and you will see the schools I have omitted (Youngstown) and then please advise.

There is edit warring going on at the East Germany article but also a dispute over whether the term " satellite state" is a biased term to describe East Germany. I and others have compiled a vast array of scholarly sources from German, American, British, Czech and other scholars and records of East Germans' public opinion on East Germany as a state, that collectively claim that East Germany was a satellite state of the Soviet Union, or in the case of East Germans themselves they used an even stronger term, that it was a puppet state. Also, many other articles on former countries use the status text for similar terms such as "client state", "colony", "protectorate", or "puppet state". Anyway, your arbitration of the East Germany article and discussion on the use of the term "satellite state" would be greatly appreciated.-- R-41 ( talk) 13:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

You closed the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Conservative Christianity by saying keep as a disambiguation page. In my opinion, this was not a consensus at all. While many suggested disambiguation, it was far from everyone, and the correct closing should have been either keep (as is) or no consensus.
When I saw the disambiguation page, I was not aware of the AfD and was disambiguating links. There are a ton of links to Conservative Christianity and having a DAB page there is a big disambiguation problem. So I thought that changing it to an article was one of many items on the Wikipedia to-do list.
I bring this up since this was discussed at Talk:Christian conservatism where most users agreed that disambiguation didn't make sense, and a redirect might work better. I then tried to do the redirect and wound up in an edit war with another user. This other user disagreed with the disambig idea but was reverting to enforce you incorrect AfD close.

Hey there, I'm following up with you regarding your recommendation in the above referenced deletion discussion. The article as initially presented was about a nonnotable elementary school where the article creator removed the PROD. Generally, I am the first person to redirect schools that fail the notability criteria, so my recommendation would have likely been to redirect as standard outcome. However, while working on a separate article, I ran across some information on the namesake of this school, Clara Byrd Baker. When I saw that an article with her name was up for deletion, I was surprised to see that it was about the school. Opting for an alternative choice to deletion, I have made a major revamp to the article to focus on the person, rather than the school. Accordingly, I am requesting that you take a second look at the article to ascertain its viability. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions. Best regards, Cind. amuse (Cindy) 08:15, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

In regards to the East Germany article discussion on satellite state status, I discussed with User:POVbrigand about the possibility of bringing in Eastern European users who are able to speak English into the discussion on Talk:East Germany. Me and this user hold different views on the topic, I agree with the proposal at Talk:East Germany, he opposes, but he addressed the issue of bringing up the material on German Wikipedia on the matter that gave me this idea. I know that Wikipedia policy permits and sometimes promotes one language Wikipedia to observe and perhaps include material from another language Wikipedia. Could this apply to administrators like yourself being able to send a request to another language Wikipedia to ask for support? Also, I am wondering if we could get an additional month to compile detailed material for this issue at the article East Germany as this is a serious issue that will set a precedent for the other Wikipedia articles on states that have been identified as satellite states of the Soviet Union.-- R-41 ( talk) 02:29, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sir, I firmly protest your deletion of my page under development called Multinet Matrix Grid. It is inexcusably rude to label a professional term that you clearly know little about as a "hoax." I own this intellectual property and it is my personal creation. I am simply using it in updated other professional webpages that have, themselves, been indexed by Google for many years, which we have for our offerings to the professional community and protecting our intellectual property, which is compliant with the accepted Best Practices of the net.
It is very clear that you are not a satellite professional and I do not remember you ever participating in any INTELSAT satellite conferences in the 1990s....from when this term dates. I am perfectly entitled to claim and document my own intellectual property. Satellite experts who came to these closed door professional only conferences know me well and remember my work, thank you.
You can send me an apology and stay out of my technical work, please. I will accept your apology based on the fact that you are not a satellite professional. If you were an engineer of a licensed international telecommunications carrier, you would probably understand it. I also presented this concept in a similarly closed door conference for state telecom customers of Intelsat in Budapest in 1994. Of course, if you did not work for an invited state telecom you would not have heard my presentation and you would not have been entitled to read my paper discussing this topic which was published in the proceedings.
We provide professional services for the telecommunications community and my family has been in this business since 1885, thank you. I am simply documenting our past work and as an editor you are expected to respect the professional work of others. If you do not like the fact that I use a proxy for security reasons, then that is your problem. Millions of people along the Asian Pacific Rim where you live use a blind proxy for security reasons.
I expect a written reply to my email, today, please, and a promise to not interfere with my professional work, thank you. I certainly respect and do not interfere with your work or that of others. Thank you Have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4kumquats ( talk • contribs) 11:59, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Can we declare peace, and get professional about this?

Hello, I work at RevChain Solutions and am trying to add them to the 'Telecommunications Billing' page on Wikipedia. This is a real entity with no nefarious wishes. The page lists FTS, but not RevChain. RevChain was purchased by PAETEC from FTS a year or two ago. PAETEC was acquired by Windstream. I just want RevChain in the listing, but every time I create a RevChain page it gets deleted. The first time i realized was due to duplicated content. The second I wrote from scratch, so don't understand it's deletion.
Please help, Thanks, Corey — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duksauce ( talk • contribs) 16:41, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
The relevance is that RevChain is an actual Telecommunications Billing Software Provider. So it should be in the list on wikipedia's page. I am not SPAMing this is actual and real.
Please help.

Is there an easy way to include RevChain in the aforementioned page, delete the RevChain only page and get the color of the text 'RevChain' on the Telecommunications Billing page to be blue and not red?

Dear Kudpung
I have a message of a proposed deletion of the page : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevie_Wishart. I am new to wiki so may have made some errors here ... however, the reason seems to be the lack of 'reliable sources'. I have added a few to the page now and I hope that they are formatted correctly. Does this now look OK to pass control and stay on the site.
Be very grateful for your help

Hi, Kudpung. I know you've dealt with a lot of school-related articles. Do we have any relevant guidelines (for anything other than titles) that are specific to the topic? I can't find any. I'm especially wondering about all of the student names present in the article. I'm inclined to just kill that whole section per WP:V, but I wondered if there was anything more targeted.

TIAYN did this edit [ [8]] that provoked you to revert it and shutdown the article to user contribution.

Hi Kudpung, I see you are simply removing sections about administrative actions you've taken without response. If you are unable to comply with WP:ADMINACCT, then I would recommend that you stop taking actions altogether. Dealing with concerns about your actions is as much a part of being an admin as actually taking administrative actions, and if, due to your activity level, you can only manage to do the latter, perhaps you should not be doing either. This is not to say I don't appreciate the work you're doing, nor that I don't think you deserve a break, but taking a "half-break", where you still make random actions, can be more harmful then if you just take a full one.

To be honest, even figuring out how to respond to you was not easy for me. I appreciate very much your help and direction. I want to be a contributing member here and not just a one issue person. It just happens that this particular issue, Ben's page, is something that I am devoting everything I can to..I believe in it, and in what has happened because of him. I truly do not mean to be disrespectful to other members, but find that I see room for interpretation in many policies and...I'm finding that I have a problem with the jabs flying around. I hear what you are saying about the page not being the place to argue about the policies...but that seems to get folded into things when people can look at the very same words and see different things. I am not ashamed to say that I am literally praying that this page does not get deleted. There was a huge impact here and I did take the time to read approximately 600-800 messages left to Ben on places like Legacy.om and on his Breedlove tv channel. It is not cliche stuff; it is real, poignant, and in many cases very specific examples of how he changed their lives. To me, it is also noteworthy when thousands of teenagers risk peer judgement to leave such messages. This is a phenomenon that happens to fall within the category of something making things better. I hope that has a place in cultural history at Wikipedia. As for navigating through this new world here at Wikipedia...I'm more confused than I have ever been. That in itself is enough to make a person a one issue member, but I am going to keep trying. Again, thank you for your polite and kind way of trying to educate someone like me...who probably seems like a freakish hot mess. Tina Petersontinam ( talk) 05:51, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, I've been patrolling the NP log lately, and I've spotted a several creations of (to me) redundant articles by user Toto le chat. They've been creating articles like 2012 in Romania, 1992 in Russia, 2012 in Moldova and 2012 in Denmark. I don't think what the purposes of these articles are, when there are categories like Category:2012 in Denmark and Category:1992 in Russia; that articles like that cannot be written in prose anyway, and have to be lists, which is essentially the job of categories.

As to the questions: 1) With over 150 entries, is it viable or necessary to make a table? I do not think it is necessary to have tables. If the list can be split into sections, it may be easier to have tables in the article. 2) Can FUR be used for images of people for whom it is no longer possible to obtain photos? I think so, although I owuld limit the number of fair use images as much as possible. 2) Are referenced extracts of the school register acceptable as RS? I am not 100% sure what the school register is. I assume it is some sort of official document of the school and so I think it would be OK - has it been published?

Hi Kudpung,
Thanks for your speedy response to my query regarding Francis Hastings, 2nd Earl of Huntingdon.
You may be aware that although King Henry VIII had only one recognised illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, he had a number of others such as John Perrot and Thomas Stukley. The conjectural circumstantial evidence of these two is shaky. With Francis Hastings there is a passing reference that his mother was a mistress of Henry VIII but no further contemporary suggestion that he was an illegitimate son of Henry VIII.
My contribution is merely a collection of various pieces of facts available from numerous sources on the internet that there is a far stronger case to include Francis Hastings than indeed John Perrot and Thomas Stukley whose claims are largely circumstantial.
I include my article again for you to consider my case that Francis should be given the same status historically as an alleged illegitimate son of King Henry VIII as John Perrot and Thomas Stuckely. My hope is to use Wikipedia as a medium to engage in an academic debate into the parentage of Francis Hastings.
BTW, I am going to Malvern this weekend!
Regards
John

Hey, sorry for the delay on the response. I'm in the camp of the chunk of people really burned out from this site right now, and it's actually taking a lot of energy to post anything at all here. For the two primary schools, I took into account the responses, or lack thereof, in those AfDs compared to the others. Admittedly I did find it odd since there was like a batch of 20 or so. In hindsight I should have just relisted them; if you insist on redirects for those two then it's alright. Knollwood, on the other hand, I've read a couple times now, and some of the redirect "votes" struck me as redirects in name only; were you to remove the bold text it would read like a delete rationale, and the only other rationale was that we've done that before. Just because something's done one way doesn't necessarily mean it has to be that way for eternity. I can see other admins closing it as a redirect, but that's if you're just reading the bold text. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:48, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
It seems to me that Epeefleche has typed "primary school" into the search box and then sent every single one to AfD without any other actual thought on the matter. There are now 10(?) instances where he has demonstrated that s/he simply pushes articles to AfD without any other thought. I think this move to AfD every primary school is too rushed and there have been too many mistakes. The workload it has created has been insane, and I've only been involved for the last ~45 nominations (I apparently missed the first 105).
I think his/her school related AfD's have to be set aside until someone is prepared to do sections C and D from WP:BEGIN or points 8 and 9 from WP:Guide_to_deletion#Considerations. ˜ danjel [ talk | contribs ] 09:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Kudpung, thanks for drawing my attention to this. I agree with you that actively going around looking for stuff to delete is quite inappropriate. Notability is in reality a rather elastic concept and I don't think it matters at all if there are some primary school articles floating around where the notability is questionable. If in doubt, leave it in. If somebody has gone to the trouble of producing a reasonable article even if the subject is not really all that notable, I think it is wrong to delete it. It's not doing any harm and somebody might find it useful. -- Alarics ( talk) 11:47, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Carrite. I see perhaps that the idea of an eventual RfC on school notability may not be as dead as I might have though it was. That said, I do think an RfC would have a far greater chance of success if it had a neutral statement, rather than expressing any deletionist/incusionist leanings, rather than attempting by its very syntax, to persuade participants to support a singular point of view. Because I am also very keen to arrive finally at a consensus that I can implement, whichever way the cookie crumbles, I would support and offer as much help as possible - as I did in the beginning with my original example - a neutrally worded proposal that offers the history of the issue, and allows the !voters to make up their own minds, but I may come out with some heavy opposition if this is not to be the case. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:45, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
My dog in the fight is a desire to get this out of AfD. The only real reason for permitting school articles is to give students something to work on, but I think that a truly essential need to recruiting new editors. But I cannot get too excited about elementary schools being deleted, as relatively few editors at that level are really ready to contribute. However, I would get very aroused against any attempt to start deleting high schools, where students can make passable articles. Basically, I no longer giver a damn is a few borderline notable articles get into Wikipedia. They are not a danger There are two dangers we face: one is allowing promotionalism. and the other is discouraging new editors/ I tend to judge other problems in terms of those. The question in constructing rfcs about notability is the attitude of those who truly thing, contrary to policy, that the gng is something which must indispensably be met without exception, and the only place for special rules is restricting it further. Some rules, like athlete, can work that way ; but some like WP:PROF do not.

I'm thinking that Epeefleche has to be taken to WP:ANI now. I think that the recourse has to be that s/he is topicbanned from AfD's relating to schools.
Looking at his contributions, there were extremely small gaps between the nominations that he was making. I strongly doubt that he paid any attention to WP:BEFORE or WP:Guide to deletion#Considerations at all. In particular, and on top of the examples already copiously extant in WP:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Schools, there was:
Of special notice, halfway down the page here, it seems that he made 33 nominations in 2½ hours between 0729, Dec. 25 and 0956, Dec. 25. He excels himself again between 1105 and 1112 by making 6 nominations in 7 minutes. With such short gaps between nominations, there is simply no way that he is putting any level of consideration into any of his AfD nominations. ˜ danjel [ talk | contribs ] 03:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I accidentally marked an edit as a minor edit when I shouldn't have. Is there a proper way that I can change that? I put in two links and I just realised they should not have been marked "minor." Thank you Petersontinam ( talk) 06:02, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
Girard, Ohio/ Girard Education-Things were fine until I was listing the City that NON-Girard schools were located in..if new schools keep getting added to a City page, I felt it should at least be clear. For some reason, only one school from Niles OH was added, while there are a total of 8 schools in Niles. Also, two Youngstown schools were in the list (Liberty HS and William S Guy), though they would seem to belong within the Youngstown page (article). Help me to understand, please- If schools are being redirected to other pages because of AfD's, wouldn't all of the City's schools go there? Is there a type of overlapping or reconfiguration of school districts that I haven't been able to find? Youngstown reconfigured within their own city, but I can't find where two of their schools would end up in Girard. I can keep going with this, no problem, but I need to know if when a City's schools are being deleted and redirected...does that mean the City also was deleted or just those specific schools off of a page...and if it just those specific schools, then why some and not others? This is far beyond my comprehension. Please look at my edit to Girard/Education and you will see the schools I have omitted (Youngstown) and then please advise. Thank you Petersontinam ( talk) 07:23, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
There is edit warring going on at the East Germany article but also a dispute over whether the term " satellite state" is a biased term to describe East Germany. I and others have compiled a vast array of scholarly sources from German, American, British, Czech and other scholars and records of East Germans' public opinion on East Germany as a state, that collectively claim that East Germany was a satellite state of the Soviet Union, or in the case of East Germans themselves they used an even stronger term, that it was a puppet state. Also, many other articles on former countries use the status text for similar terms such as "client state", "colony", "protectorate", or "puppet state". Anyway, your arbitration of the East Germany article and discussion on the use of the term "satellite state" would be greatly appreciated.-- R-41 ( talk) 13:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

You closed the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Conservative Christianity by saying keep as a disambiguation page. In my opinion, this was not a consensus at all. While many suggested disambiguation, it was far from everyone, and the correct closing should have been either keep (as is) or no consensus.
When I saw the disambiguation page, I was not aware of the AfD and was disambiguating links. There are a ton of links to Conservative Christianity and having a DAB page there is a big disambiguation problem. So I thought that changing it to an article was one of many items on the Wikipedia to-do list.
I bring this up since this was discussed at Talk:Christian conservatism where most users agreed that disambiguation didn't make sense, and a redirect might work better. I then tried to do the redirect and wound up in an edit war with another user. This other user disagreed with the disambig idea but was reverting to enforce you incorrect AfD close.

As you are the administrator overseeing the Talk:East Germany page, I am informing you that User:AndyTheGrump is behaving arrogantly, in response to a post I made, he responded by laughing at me, writing "LOL!". He went on to arrogantly say "Thank you for providing such convincing evidence that the author of this encyclopaedia agrees with my perspective on the matter." I can't stand it any longer, he is treating me like an animal when I've provided source after source and then he just laughs at me and snarls back at me in a haughty manner "thank you so much for giving me a good argument", he might as well have added insulting me by calling me "you loser" - I am being abused on the talk page for my conscientious efforts - I won't tolerate being treated this way-- R-41 ( talk) 23:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm following up with you regarding your recommendation in the above referenced deletion discussion. The article as initially presented was about a nonnotable elementary school where the article creator removed the PROD. Generally, I am the first person to redirect schools that fail the notability criteria, so my recommendation would have likely been to redirect as standard outcome. However, while working on a separate article, I ran across some information on the namesake of this school, Clara Byrd Baker. When I saw that an article with her name was up for deletion, I was surprised to see that it was about the school. Opting for an alternative choice to deletion, I have made a major revamp to the article to focus on the person, rather than the school. Accordingly, I am requesting that you take a second look at the article to ascertain its viability. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions. Best regards, Cind. amuse (Cindy) 08:15, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

When you added your comment as a subsection it visually appeared to have ended the voting section, making it confusing for users who wanted to review and vote on whether to support or oppose the proposal. That is why I moved it on friendly grounds to being a comment. However if this is not acceptable I will accept you changing it back.

In regards to the East Germany article discussion on satellite state status, I discussed with User:POVbrigand about the possibility of bringing in Eastern European users who are able to speak English into the discussion on Talk:East Germany. Me and this user hold different views on the topic, I agree with the proposal at Talk:East Germany, he opposes, but he addressed the issue of bringing up the material on German Wikipedia on the matter that gave me this idea. I know that Wikipedia policy permits and sometimes promotes one language Wikipedia to observe and perhaps include material from another language Wikipedia. Could this apply to administrators like yourself being able to send a request to another language Wikipedia to ask for support? Also, I am wondering if we could get an additional month to compile detailed material for this issue at the article East Germany as this is a serious issue that will set a precedent for the other Wikipedia articles on states that have been identified as satellite states of the Soviet Union.-- R-41 ( talk) 02:29, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sir, I firmly protest your deletion of my page under development called Multinet Matrix Grid. It is inexcusably rude to label a professional term that you clearly know little about as a "hoax." I own this intellectual property and it is my personal creation. I am simply using it in updated other professional webpages that have, themselves, been indexed by Google for many years, which we have for our offerings to the professional community and protecting our intellectual property, which is compliant with the accepted Best Practices of the net.
It is very clear that you are not a satellite professional and I do not remember you ever participating in any INTELSAT satellite conferences in the 1990s....from when this term dates. I am perfectly entitled to claim and document my own intellectual property. Satellite experts who came to these closed door professional only conferences know me well and remember my work, thank you.
You can send me an apology and stay out of my technical work, please. I will accept your apology based on the fact that you are not a satellite professional. If you were an engineer of a licensed international telecommunications carrier, you would probably understand it. I also presented this concept in a similarly closed door conference for state telecom customers of Intelsat in Budapest in 1994. Of course, if you did not work for an invited state telecom you would not have heard my presentation and you would not have been entitled to read my paper discussing this topic which was published in the proceedings.
We provide professional services for the telecommunications community and my family has been in this business since 1885, thank you. I am simply documenting our past work and as an editor you are expected to respect the professional work of others. If you do not like the fact that I use a proxy for security reasons, then that is your problem. Millions of people along the Asian Pacific Rim where you live use a blind proxy for security reasons.
I expect a written reply to my email, today, please, and a promise to not interfere with my professional work, thank you. I certainly respect and do not interfere with your work or that of others. Thank you Have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4kumquats ( talk • contribs) 11:59, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I work at RevChain Solutions and am trying to add them to the 'Telecommunications Billing' page on Wikipedia. This is a real entity with no nefarious wishes. The page lists FTS, but not RevChain. RevChain was purchased by PAETEC from FTS a year or two ago. PAETEC was acquired by Windstream. I just want RevChain in the listing, but every time I create a RevChain page it gets deleted. The first time i realized was due to duplicated content. The second I wrote from scratch, so don't understand it's deletion.
Please help, Thanks, Corey — Preceding unsigned comment added by Duksauce ( talk • contribs) 16:41, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung, I see you are simply removing sections about administrative actions you've taken without response. If you are unable to comply with WP:ADMINACCT, then I would recommend that you stop taking actions altogether. Dealing with concerns about your actions is as much a part of being an admin as actually taking administrative actions, and if, due to your activity level, you can only manage to do the latter, perhaps you should not be doing either. This is not to say I don't appreciate the work you're doing, nor that I don't think you deserve a break, but taking a "half-break", where you still make random actions, can be more harmful then if you just take a full one. Thanks, - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 13:20, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
