Hi Kudpung, I'm sorry if I mis-interpreted this edit, which I understood to mean that you believed admins chose who got access to STiki and their word could not be over-ridden by non-admins. The us-them divide has always been a bugbear of mine and I know it's something I may be over-zealous with.
Regarding the wider CVUA issues, they are looking to implement my suggested changes at the end of the week. I believe those who were causing the other issues are aware of them and I've not seen problems with that either. Some of our other worries appear to be unfounded, such as CVUA trying to foist inexperienced editors into NPP. I believe this was because WT:NPP included a CVU banner - CVU and CVUA are seperate entities. (It may be best to remove the banner anyway)
Given time, I'm sure the project will keep improving. I also don't want to see these enthusiastic editors demoralised, Wikipedia has a problem with editor retention and there have been suggestions that this is partially due to the critical environment. As one of our more experienced editors, I'm sure you've seen general opinion on the way we do things change, the last thing I think we should be doing is stifling those editors who's bright ideas may be the start of a new Wikipedia environment.

Carthage44 was blocked indefintely a while back along with 74.94.112.249 (2 weeks). The IP is actively editing again with the same baseball theme of Chicago White Sox related articles. Being that editing in the past with this static IP coincided with blocks to Carthage44, and given the current theme of the edits, I would assume this is a continuing sock.— Bagumba ( talk) 21:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi there
Thank you for notifying me about the deletion of "Garrison Border Town of Elvas and its Fortifications".
I do not agree with the deletion which was already done. It is usual for articles refering to a world heritage site to be separated from the article of the city/place itself where this site is located.
The information of the original article I created is now not present anywhere.
I will recreate the original article.

Hi there! I don't know how familiar you are with football/soccer, and particular European, and especially English football, but from the close of the season until 31 August, players are allowed to be transfered. As such, players even vaguely linked with moves have their pages changed. This is exacerbated by wild twitter rumours, fans lust for another team's player etc until WP player pages are a mess! As such, I've protected Dzeko's page as it kept getting changed that he plays for Arsenal. He doesn't, but some fans think he a) should b) has signed c) is about to sign etc. Until it's a done deal and has reliable sources, we can only say he plays for his current club (in this case Man City).
Almost every football player that comes onto RfPP around deadline day ends up getting protected till early September when it all calms down again. Until January, when we get another month of it! So I hope you don't mind me revisting your RfPP request (it had been added to), and for letting you know about the madness of the transfer window. And apologies if you knew all that anyway!

Hi Kudpung! I've always wondered what the purpose of the {{ db-animal}} template was. What is considered a non-notable or insignificant animal?

Thank you for your warning. Perhaps you're not aware, but I'm actually the only, I repeat, the only editor on Wikipedia in English who is writing articles about Brazilian imperial history. Did you see the golden stars at the top of my user page? Empire of Brazil, Pedro I of Brazil, Pedro II of Brazil, etc, etc.. The Brazilian military commander who quelled the Ragamuffin rebellion? That was Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias, another Featured Article I wrote. In other words: I'm actually the only person who has any real knowledge of Brazilian history around. But you instead chose to listen to a guy who has never contributed at all??
You also seem not to have paid attention to the development of the article about the War of the Ragamuffins. That was, and still is, a completely ignored article. I changed its name (and warned everyone) on 17 May 2011. No one complained. No one. Several months later, on 16 November 2011, a guy called Pinnecco complained, but the discussion died out and nothing happened. Now, on 31 August 2012 an editor called " I. N. Keller" who has never made any single contribution on Wikipedia changed the name of the article and reverted again when I opposed him. You shoudn't come to my talk page and accuse me of edit warring. I'm not forcing anything, he was and still is. The name "Ragamuffin" is the English translation of the Portuguese word "Farrapo" and is the name used on English sources about Brazilian imperial history. I'm not creating that out of nowhere, I woudln't have ten FAs about Brazilian imperial history if I didn't pay serious attention to sources. -- Lecen ( talk) 18:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung. I read that you were willing to consider nominating editors for adminship. I tried an editor review, but a few weeks later, nothing has happened and I considered self-nominating my self for RFA with the intention of getting some feedback/constructive criticism, but I felt like that was somewhat disingenuous so I decided to ask a user willing to consider nominating people for RFA. I know right off the bat my edit count is low, but recently (the past month or so) I have gotten much more involved and hope to stay that way. So if you wouldn't mind taking a minute to give me some feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Go Phightins!

Hi Kudpung,
For starters, yep, I am very well aware that I should be editing en.wp's core content rather than hanging round at
WP:NPP. That said, I've found a little niche there. I'm often frustrated with
WP:CSD tagging for articles that don't meet the CSD criteria. I've looked all over the place, but can't find a specific policy or guideline that allows non-admins to decline CSDs. (Apart from
Wikipedia:Ignore all rules of course, which I think should be re-named "

Could you possibly point me to a policy or guideline that may cover non-admin speedy deletion declines? --

Thanks for the heads-up at RFPP. I couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on there (I didn't see how it was vandalism at all), but a little digging showed that the IPs were running amok on that and several other articles. The editors continually reverting them weren't helping matters at all, so I just took the article to RFPP and the IPs to AIV. If I felt like I knew a little more of the background, I would have just taken the whole lot to ANEW. As it is, at least one of the confirmed accounts involved ended up at ANEW anyway (IIRC).

Hi Kudpung. I know you're against non-admin observations at PERM, and was wondering if this decline for reviewer from a non-admin is considered appropriate? Obviously, the user shouldn't have the right, but I didn't know non-admins were allowed to deny requests. TRLIJC19 ( talk • contribs) 03:45, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
( edit conflict) :In my opinion, non admin closures are not appropriate, even if logically valid. Such work is often attributed to a kind of hat-collection by aspiring RfA candidates (it will show as edits to PERM on their edit count breakdown). I have tried many times to do something about it but without success. The only thing I can do is to get in first with admin closures, which is the reason why I have been working on PERM for the past few weeks. However, I can't be online 24/24, and there is only a handful of admins that watch the PERM pages. That said, no requests are ever urgent, and there is no need (again in my opinion)for this kind of 'clerking'. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 03:58, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
I will just add that masquerading as admins will even seriously compromise a user's eventual request for adminship. In order not to confuse new editors into believing that such comments come from admins, if at all necessary (and in most cases they are not), good faith non admin comments should contain a mention that the user is not an admin.

Hi Kudpung, I noticed a comment you made on the Innocence of Muslims request and I just had a quick question about it.

Regards, Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 04:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
( edit conflict):::My take at WP:RFPP is that in order to prevent further disruption relative urgency is often required to act on a request. Too many RFPP requests expect the admins to review 100s of edits and asses which ones are right and which ones are wrong. What we sometimes do is revert to what we feel is a stable version before the recent trouble started, but unfortunately, not being experts on the subject matter, this is often not possible. The actual clean up relys on the due diligence of the article's regular good faith editors. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Good day. Instead of simply criticizing, you might take a minute to notice that I spend a great deal of time working on articles to assist editors. I often also provide help at their talk pages and welcome them with information about the various links they might find helpful. The only submissions I decline quickly are as follows: blank pages, pages not in English, pages without any references at all, advertisements, nonsense pages of people who write single lines boasting about the prowess, good looks, best friend, etc., pages that read like diary entries etc. Rather than leave a braod, non-specific criticism on my talk page, it would be more constructive if you were specific. If you feel I have improperly or unfairly declined an article, please advise me the name(s) of those articles and I will undo my decline. If you are simply referring to the one instance where a partial sentence submitted as an article alerted you to the fact that writer was actually asking for assistance regarding their status, as I have already indicated, that wasn't clear at all to me or I would have assisted as I always do when asked. Have a terrific day. Snowysusan 10:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

You had recently denied reviewer rights when I had applied, and also advised that I do more more vandalism before I could apply again and also apply for rollback.

Hello. I just saw your question. It was not a casuality.

Then both sides started using the article to mock the other political side, and were posting it on blogs, websites, etc. I tried to protect it (by undoing edits and by asking for protection) since I was afraid the war could affect other, more important and realistic entries. 85.219.58.184 ( talk) 19:09, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you have helped reduced the duration of User:173.63.176.93's block because of reasons that I cannot see.

If the mention of deaths is the issue, then I believe we can include the information without directly mentioning the deaths.
I have written a new draft of this edit in one of my subpages: User:Airelor/Yosemite_National_Park.
Please take a look and suggest any other edits or make any changes as you see fit before I try to add it to the main Yosemite_National_Park page. If you know of any administrators or Wikipedia Users you can refer this draft (or me) specifically to for advice about this matter, that would be very appreciated too. Thank you.

Please that a look at this: User talk:Walrasiad#Warning. Also here: User talk:Cambalachero#Good to know that somethings never change and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log&user=Lecen Most importantly, he's been blocked before: User talk:Lecen/Archive 12#January 2012 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=noticeboard&prefix=User+talk%3ALecen%2F&fulltext=Search+archives&fulltext=Search Look at the tone and the threats Lecen has been up to. Nothing justifies that kind of threat, not even if he happened to be right. I was taking a look through his talk page archives, and he has a huge record of trolling like that and has reported other users to the Administrator's Noticeboard due to edit conflicts in the past. I was going to post a complaint myself, but decided to inform you first. For how long do we have to tolerate bullies like that? I. N. Keller ( talk) 22:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, there. I'm Lecen, a.k.a. "the Evil one" according to someone above. I'd like to request you to talk to Imnotkeller and stop him from insulting me and the other users who have opposed the move request. This is not acceptable and neither is calling us "trolls".

Thanks for your guidance - My apologies, I said new pages, when I should have said unique pages. I was impressed that this user often made very large edits of a good quantity, rather than the few words many editors add at a time (myself included). I had consulted [Wikipedia:Autopatrolled]]. I do see your points as valid, and now see that Galaxycat needs to do more work - and in particular more quoting of reliable sources.

Hi Kudpung. Could you take a quick look at the discussion on Talk:Peter Schiff and add your perspective?
At issue is the following phrase: "Krugman quoted Schiff from December 2009 as stating:" Previously, the article read as "Krugman quoted and referred to the following statement by Schiff from December, 2009:"
SPECIFICO believes the revised phrase may be interpreted as Krugman attributing an unsourced idea to Schiff whereas I do not see this implication. On the otherhand, I see the phrase "quoted and referred to" as redundant phrasing.
This is the major issue I would like to have feedback on; if it is not too much trouble, I would appreciate if you could give feedback on the usage of "Keynesian" in the context of the article.

Hi there, I'm the user who wanted to read about Catarse, but found that the article had been deleted, so went ahead and started a create/delete ping-pong match. So now, after seeing it has been deleted a third time, I went through reading all the links I was directed to, such as:
Wikipedia:CSD#A7 Wikipedia:Why_was_the_page_I_created_deleted? Wikipedia:Field_guide_to_proper_speedy_deletion Wikipedia:Why_I_Hate_Speedy_Deleters
as well as the few links you provided on your talk page. I've always known Wikipedia to be a huge project, but now I'm getting an idea about how complicated all the policies and procedures can be...WOW!
Anyways, I'd like to be able to continue working on the Catarse article to get it to an acceptable level of quality. As open-source software, I understand that Catarse being software available for download on GitHub rather than web content excludes it from qualifying under A7, as mentioned at [Wikipedia:NOTCSD#Non-criteria], does it not?
I truly believe this is an important step in changing how businesses are funded By taking a similar step to Wikipedia's own inception and making the platform itself available to the public, Catarse allows anyone with an internet connection to start their own Crowd-funding service, something none of the other competitors allows.
I need to go to sleep now, because I work 12 hours of physycal labour per day, and need to rest.

Hi Kudpung, I'm sorry if I mis-interpreted this edit, which I understood to mean that you believed admins chose who got access to STiki and their word could not be over-ridden by non-admins. The us-them divide has always been a bugbear of mine and I know it's something I may be over-zealous with.
Regarding the wider CVUA issues, they are looking to implement my suggested changes at the end of the week. I believe those who were causing the other issues are aware of them and I've not seen problems with that either. Some of our other worries appear to be unfounded, such as CVUA trying to foist inexperienced editors into NPP. I believe this was because WT:NPP included a CVU banner - CVU and CVUA are seperate entities. (It may be best to remove the banner anyway)
Given time, I'm sure the project will keep improving. I also don't want to see these enthusiastic editors demoralised, Wikipedia has a problem with editor retention and there have been suggestions that this is partially due to the critical environment. As one of our more experienced editors, I'm sure you've seen general opinion on the way we do things change, the last thing I think we should be doing is stifling those editors who's bright ideas may be the start of a new Wikipedia environment.

Hi there
Thank you for notifying me about the deletion of "Garrison Border Town of Elvas and its Fortifications".
I do not agree with the deletion which was already done. It is usual for articles refering to a world heritage site to be separated from the article of the city/place itself where this site is located.
The information of the original article I created is now not present anywhere.
I will recreate the original article.

Hi there! I don't know how familiar you are with football/soccer, and particular European, and especially English football, but from the close of the season until 31 August, players are allowed to be transfered. As such, players even vaguely linked with moves have their pages changed. This is exacerbated by wild twitter rumours, fans lust for another team's player etc until WP player pages are a mess! As such, I've protected Dzeko's page as it kept getting changed that he plays for Arsenal. He doesn't, but some fans think he a) should b) has signed c) is about to sign etc. Until it's a done deal and has reliable sources, we can only say he plays for his current club (in this case Man City).
Almost every football player that comes onto RfPP around deadline day ends up getting protected till early September when it all calms down again. Until January, when we get another month of it! So I hope you don't mind me revisting your RfPP request (it had been added to), and for letting you know about the madness of the transfer window. And apologies if you knew all that anyway!

Thank you for your warning. Perhaps you're not aware, but I'm actually the only, I repeat, the only editor on Wikipedia in English who is writing articles about Brazilian imperial history. Did you see the golden stars at the top of my user page? Empire of Brazil, Pedro I of Brazil, Pedro II of Brazil, etc, etc.. The Brazilian military commander who quelled the Ragamuffin rebellion? That was Luís Alves de Lima e Silva, Duke of Caxias, another Featured Article I wrote. In other words: I'm actually the only person who has any real knowledge of Brazilian history around. But you instead chose to listen to a guy who has never contributed at all??
You also seem not to have paid attention to the development of the article about the War of the Ragamuffins. That was, and still is, a completely ignored article. I changed its name (and warned everyone) on 17 May 2011. No one complained. No one. Several months later, on 16 November 2011, a guy called Pinnecco complained, but the discussion died out and nothing happened. Now, on 31 August 2012 an editor called " I. N. Keller" who has never made any single contribution on Wikipedia changed the name of the article and reverted again when I opposed him. You shoudn't come to my talk page and accuse me of edit warring. I'm not forcing anything, he was and still is. The name "Ragamuffin" is the English translation of the Portuguese word "Farrapo" and is the name used on English sources about Brazilian imperial history. I'm not creating that out of nowhere, I woudln't have ten FAs about Brazilian imperial history if I didn't pay serious attention to sources. -- Lecen ( talk) 18:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung. I read that you were willing to consider nominating editors for adminship. I tried an editor review, but a few weeks later, nothing has happened and I considered self-nominating my self for RFA with the intention of getting some feedback/constructive criticism, but I felt like that was somewhat disingenuous so I decided to ask a user willing to consider nominating people for RFA. I know right off the bat my edit count is low, but recently (the past month or so) I have gotten much more involved and hope to stay that way. So if you wouldn't mind taking a minute to give me some feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Go Phightins!

WP:NPP. That said, I've found a little niche there. I'm often frustrated with
WP:CSD tagging for articles that don't meet the CSD criteria. I've looked all over the place, but can't find a specific policy or guideline that allows non-admins to decline CSDs. (Apart from
Wikipedia:Ignore all rules of course, which I think should be re-named "
Wikipedia:Ignore one rule".)
Could you possibly point me to a policy or guideline that may cover non-admin speedy deletion declines? --

Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in Special:NewPagesFeed, showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced CSD logging! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be most welcome. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 18:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung, unsourced content continues to be inserted into Sibichen K Mathew from multiple IPs despite several reversions and warnings. Could you please take a look. Thanks Sesamevoila ( talk) 11:41, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up at RFPP. I couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on there (I didn't see how it was vandalism at all), but a little digging showed that the IPs were running amok on that and several other articles. The editors continually reverting them weren't helping matters at all, so I just took the article to RFPP and the IPs to AIV. If I felt like I knew a little more of the background, I would have just taken the whole lot to ANEW. As it is, at least one of the confirmed accounts involved ended up at ANEW anyway (IIRC). Thanks again, cheers! -- Tgeairn ( talk) 03:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung. I know you're against non-admin observations at PERM, and was wondering if this decline for reviewer from a non-admin is considered appropriate? Obviously, the user shouldn't have the right, but I didn't know non-admins were allowed to deny requests. TRLIJC19 ( talk • contribs) 03:45, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
( edit conflict) :In my opinion, non admin closures are not appropriate, even if logically valid. Such work is often attributed to a kind of hat-collection by aspiring RfA candidates (it will show as edits to PERM on their edit count breakdown). I have tried many times to do something about it but without success. The only thing I can do is to get in first with admin closures, which is the reason why I have been working on PERM for the past few weeks. However, I can't be online 24/24, and there is only a handful of admins that watch the PERM pages. That said, no requests are ever urgent, and there is no need (again in my opinion)for this kind of 'clerking'. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 03:58, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
I will just add that masquerading as admins will even seriously compromise a user's eventual request for adminship. In order not to confuse new editors into believing that such comments come from admins, if at all necessary (and in most cases they are not), good faith non admin comments should contain a mention that the user is not an admin. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 06:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung, I noticed a comment you made on the Innocence of Muslims request and I just had a quick question about it. You mentioned that "any editor in good standing with sufficient neutral subject knowledge can revert to a stable version", I was just wondering if this was through making an edit request on the talk page, or if there was something else I haven't discovered yet? Regards, Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 04:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
( edit conflict):::My take at WP:RFPP is that in order to prevent further disruption relative urgency is often required to act on a request. Too many RFPP requests expect the admins to review 100s of edits and asses which ones are right and which ones are wrong. What we sometimes do is revert to what we feel is a stable version before the recent trouble started, but unfortunately, not being experts on the subject matter, this is often not possible. The actual clean up relys on the due diligence of the article's regular good faith editors. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Well thank you! I guess it was just a time zone thing. I'm still also trying to get in quick enough at PERM to stave off the superfluous non admin clerking and closing. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 07:56, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Good day. Instead of simply criticizing, you might take a minute to notice that I spend a great deal of time working on articles to assist editors. I often also provide help at their talk pages and welcome them with information about the various links they might find helpful. The only submissions I decline quickly are as follows: blank pages, pages not in English, pages without any references at all, advertisements, nonsense pages of people who write single lines boasting about the prowess, good looks, best friend, etc., pages that read like diary entries etc. Rather than leave a braod, non-specific criticism on my talk page, it would be more constructive if you were specific. If you feel I have improperly or unfairly declined an article, please advise me the name(s) of those articles and I will undo my decline. If you are simply referring to the one instance where a partial sentence submitted as an article alerted you to the fact that writer was actually asking for assistance regarding their status, as I have already indicated, that wasn't clear at all to me or I would have assisted as I always do when asked. Have a terrific day. Snowysusan 10:12, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kudpung,
You had recently denied reviewer rights when I had applied, and also advised that I do more more vandalism before I could apply again and also apply for rollback. Do you think I can apply for rollback now. I din't apply because, when I view the diff, I already get a rollback option. Please advise. Thanks!

I wanted to know whether I can rename a file at the commons for the reason Disambiguate? The auto-script doesn't provide that option. So can i manually edit the page with {{

Hello. I just saw your question. It was not a casuality. As you could see, the date of the gathering was the same own day than the war of edits, which started a fight for cyphers since a political side claimed 2 million people had asisted and the other claimed they had been less than 500,000 people. Then both sides started using the article to mock the other political side, and were posting it on blogs, websites, etc. I tried to protect it (by undoing edits and by asking for protection) since I was afraid the war could affect other, more important and realistic entries. 85.219.58.184 ( talk) 19:09, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Kudpung, if you get a chance could you advise in this case, possibly by sending me a copy of the deleted article if permitted? There is a problem in general with CSD cat G4 as non-admins cannot see the deleted content therefore have to make educated guesses about it. I rarely nominate under that criteria but in this case it seemed relevant as all the sources in question were very dodgy ones often related to the subject or were IMDB style. Thanks, Valenciano ( talk) 23:36, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
As an admin with a keen interest in education-related articles, perhaps you might take a look at Rajatkalia ( talk · contribs) and some of the articles he has been editing recently.

I think that sent the wrong message. I wish I'd seen it before it was closed but I was away. This was not acceptable behavior. Not linking accounts clearly, signing with a name that isn't the account name, implying that the account has Admin tools, not making it clear that those tools are in abeyance, etc. I'm off to bed now but may open a new section tomorrow.

Hi, I noticed you have helped reduced the duration of User:173.63.176.93's block because of reasons that I cannot see. However, I assume it has something to do with his involvement with Yosemite National Park's Talk Page. Recently, I have also tried to add a section acknowledging its the Hantavirus Risk in Yosemite National Park, but my edit was similarly dismissed by User:Jojhutton. If the mention of deaths is the issue, then I believe we can include the information without directly mentioning the deaths.
I have written a new draft of this edit in one of my subpages: User:Airelor/Yosemite_National_Park.
Please take a look and suggest any other edits or make any changes as you see fit before I try to add it to the main Yosemite_National_Park page. If you know of any administrators or Wikipedia Users you can refer this draft (or me) specifically to for advice about this matter, that would be very appreciated too. Thank you.

Please that a look at this: User talk:Walrasiad#Warning. Also here: User talk:Cambalachero#Good to know that somethings never change and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log&user=Lecen Most importantly, he's been blocked before: User talk:Lecen/Archive 12#January 2012 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=noticeboard&prefix=User+talk%3ALecen%2F&fulltext=Search+archives&fulltext=Search Look at the tone and the threats Lecen has been up to. Nothing justifies that kind of threat, not even if he happened to be right. I was taking a look through his talk page archives, and he has a huge record of trolling like that and has reported other users to the Administrator's Noticeboard due to edit conflicts in the past. I was going to post a complaint myself, but decided to inform you first. For how long do we have to tolerate bullies like that? I. N. Keller ( talk) 22:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your guidance - My apologies, I said new pages, when I should have said unique pages.

Hi Kudpung. Could you take a quick look at the discussion on Talk:Peter Schiff and add your perspective?
At issue is the following phrase: "Krugman quoted Schiff from December 2009 as stating:" Previously, the article read as "Krugman quoted and referred to the following statement by Schiff from December, 2009:"
SPECIFICO believes the revised phrase may be interpreted as Krugman attributing an unsourced idea to Schiff whereas I do not see this implication. On the otherhand, I see the phrase "quoted and referred to" as redundant phrasing.
This is the major issue I would like to have feedback on; if it is not too much trouble, I would appreciate if you could give feedback on the usage of "Keynesian" in the context of the article.

Hi there, I'm the user who wanted to read about Catarse, but found that the article had been deleted, so went ahead and started a create/delete ping-pong match. So now, after seeing it has been deleted a third time, I went through reading all the links I was directed to, such as:
Wikipedia:CSD#A7 Wikipedia:Why_was_the_page_I_created_deleted? Wikipedia:Field_guide_to_proper_speedy_deletion Wikipedia:Why_I_Hate_Speedy_Deleters
as well as the few links you provided on your talk page. I've always known Wikipedia to be a huge project, but now I'm getting an idea about how complicated all the policies and procedures can be...WOW!
Anyways, I'd like to be able to continue working on the Catarse article to get it to an acceptable level of quality. As open-source software, I understand that Catarse being software available for download on GitHub rather than web content excludes it from qualifying under A7, as mentioned at [Wikipedia:NOTCSD#Non-criteria], does it not?
I truly believe this is an important step in changing how businesses are funded By taking a similar step to Wikipedia's own inception and making the platform itself available to the public, Catarse allows anyone with an internet connection to start their own Crowd-funding service, something none of the other competitors allows.
I need to go to sleep now, because I work 12 hours of physycal labour per day, and need to rest.
