For the copy-edit and support. Spartaz Humbug! 21:11, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi, since you have dealt previously with the disruption caused on White America by User_talk:68.173.95.177 (and, if I've understood things correctly, its registered alter ego), I would be grateful if you had another look at the situation, because after the user was unblocked and the article unprotected, the situation has turned back to its previous state of constant reverts and removals of maintenance template. Thanks -- LjL ( talk) 14:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Just wanted to make sure you saw my reply at WP:ANI#User:AndreaCarax.— Kww( talk) 16:02, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
You mentioned: "No one here is saying anything about that, or you, except to explain the situation. Please calm down. Cheers." This comment came from you after several interactions around Carlossuarez 46, wherein he did imply I was a sockpuppet, or some other god awful thing in the first ANI posting he made (NOT the one you commented on). At that time there had been debate between Carlos and I with a good bit of back and forth centering on the following argument: How does a knowledgeable local editor disprove a citation for a place (from Carlos' GNIS source) that never existed but has as US Geological citation nonetheless? In that earlier discussion, Carlos actually ORDERED me to "move on" and calls me a dick, to which I called him "rapacious" (which looks to be factual now more than ever). Later after my GNIS post on Highspeed's (whom I took on good faith to be a straight forward, stand up editor) talk page, Carlos places me in his FIRST ANI posting related to Highspeed, saying that he will leave it to others to decide if I am a "sockpuppet, vandal or some other sort of problem." I can tell you that I am still reeling and incredulous at that vast stretch. I am also incredulous that it is possible that this kind of person can be an administrator herein. He has caused a furor, which includes at least several California county templates. Now it is left to User:Luna Santin to FINALLY make an attempt to address his heavy handed, if not abusive, behavior (explicitly related to "draconian" use of admin privileges) directly.
Returning to my original GNIS comment at User:Highspeed, this editor reached out to me because of my comment about what looked like the same frustration (really shock) I was experiencing over extraordinarily prolific stub creation by Carlos using one or two sources that are all too often way off base, leading to new "community" articles that are duplicated, misspelled, etc). Carlos has systematically concocted and connected (whether by misconception or otherwise is now immaterial) me into a myth (or reality-still not about me) related to Highspeed and alleged vandalism, sockpupretry and so forth. This interaction has been the most stressful period in my entire history with Wikipedia. I do not appreciate the behavior and I have been shocked to see other editors such as Nytend go along with Carlos so easily. It is interesting that Nytend is the one to assist in this matter as he tends to agree with Carlos on much of the mess in California County templates related to mega stub article creation. I have purposely not added a bunch of examples or links here in part because you can see on the pages related to the players what has occurred. I just wanted you to have some background on my justifiable concern. I can tell you after this that I could not have imagined that I could actually experience fear in my experience here at Wikipedia. But it happened in this situation, which is why I mentioned the Goebbels type of propaganda in the ANI related to this issue. Of note, Carlos even, if suavely, attacked me for that. I can tell you that I am sick of the entire issue.
Returning to my interest to work toward an accurate encyclopedia, I realize that I need to do a lot of work to directly address the new problems that arose related to the "communities" created by Carlos and I will steadily work to improve my article development syntax, etc. In fact I have asked a person well connected to the GNIS place name debate to assist me. I will also note here that the person, User:Pfly, is not in conflict with any of the other editors or administrators involved in the ruckus in the first place. Thanks you, Norcalal ( talk) 03:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
User:Aliveatoms has created an AfD on station KZEY, in a pointed attempt to irritate a situation with User:RadioFan. Apparently RadioFan nom'd a page made by Aliveatoms for deletion. Aliveatoms actions are the subject of an ANI post. Would it be possible (if not, that's cool) to speedy keep the AfD on KZEY? I have warned Aliveatoms about making pointed AfDs already, just don't feel confortable closing the AfD at this point, as I am pretty deeply involed in the situation. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 05:55, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Cross-posted to here, to make sure you saw my reply. I don't even necessarily agree with the consensus view, but those of us reverting the IP were simply restoring the consensus version. In fact, at the talkpage, I argued FOR inclusion of the material, but when consensus is established, it needs to be respected, which is why I reverted the IP, though I'm actually a bit sympathetic to his viewpoint.

A notice appeared on the top of the article I created stating: "A major contributor to this article appears to have a conflict of interest with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page." I don't understand the problem with the article for it can not be less bias and is strictly informative. Please help me because I am new at this, confused and extremely frustrated. I have read all the links about cleanup and neutral point of view and I still can not see a problem. This article is very important please help.

It was just a simple disagreement really on that I didn't think Eatern Virginia Hockey League with the spelling of "Eastern" as "Eatern" was a redirect spelling people would be using. Maybe if you accidentially leave out the "s" in Eastern, but that would be it. Nothing against you, not trying to start anything, just disagreed on the removal of the speedy template. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 19:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

You added this template to Apogee (techfest) recently and it was subsequently removed by an IP user. I wasn't sure if this was something I should revert as vandalism, so I thought I would let you know. By the way, templates, including the original afd notification, added to this page are promptly removed by anonymous users.) -- Sophitessa ( talk) 08:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
I don't much apprectiate the situation here being branded a "lame edit war". I totally agree it is a minor issue that has been blown way out of proportion, but that's why I took it to where I hoped it could be swiftly dealt with. All my edits were altruistic and done with no haste, not at all " confrontational, combative, non-productive use of editing". If there was a better way to handle the problem, I would prefer to be informed of it rather than basically be told "stop or get blocked". U-Mos ( talk) 20:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
There isn't another web browser installed on this computer, but I agree that the problem could well be connected with the current web browser. Mind you its not really a problem for me, I only see these ads occassionally when visiting certain user pages, I was just concerned that it was affecting Wikipedia, which doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks very much for your help in checking this out. Melburnian ( talk) 03:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi. While 'pediasurfing I came across a mention of the Louisdale, Nova Scotia article, and thought I'd run with the suggestion to take it in hand & give it an overhaul. Still, I'll learn. ;) You'd recently deleted copyvio revisions/content from the article.
Aiming to cleanup the article I looked at the text, and where its wikilinks went. It quickly became clear there's more of the same pov-spamming problems still out there. There seem to be 2 themes: the 'real history' conspiracy along with somehow connected swathes of rambling about ships.
One wikilink was to "Grandique Ferry". Apart from mirrors, their geocities/piczo/other sites, and mirror-like sites, there doesn't seem to be any real online reference to Grandique Ferry. The gov.ns.ca site shows it on a map as a tiny locality (as opposed to being designated a 'community' former or otherwise).
I followed the Grandique Ferry link and deleted one of their realhistory spamlinks. One section was barely intelligible; I couldn't work it out to fix so section-cleanup tagged it. Another section came across as a pov-push of "The Truth", which I neutrality-tagged to be checked out. Having since looked around more, I now believe the content's one big cut and paste job. I've not yet placed a copyvio template. A past revision of the Louisdale article ( diff) has the same content. The Lennox Passage, Nova Scotia has a duplicate of the Grandique Ferry Shipwrecks section. It looks like a big mess of multiple socking accounts, spreading barely intelligible text about it across stacks of Nova Scotian articles: West Arichat, Nova Scotia being another example. I think similar admin cleanup might be needed. Thanks, Lifebaka. Whitehorse1 03:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for replying. Copyvios are something I template on sight, when I come across them. The reason I brought this here, is there is more involved than mere simple copyvio.
As you know, from the July 21, 2009 AN/I post, there is a history of spamming, copyright violations, AfD/ CSD deletions, and or-pov-soapboxing with the Louisdale, Nova Scotia article. As GRBerry points out here, the Louisdale problems date back to early 2006.
The Louisdale, Nova Scotia WhatLinksHere and wikilinks from that article show it's spilled over across many Nova Scotia articles.
The sheer scale and multiple aspects to the problem make it hard to get on top of. There are deleted revisions involved, for example. Many. From what GRBerry has said, it has been going on for 3 1/2 years. The multiple accounts/anons leave the impression of socking or at the least meatpuppets. It's not possible to determine how many of those exist with a standard account. I've already spent a while on this now, but for the reasons just given there's a limit to what I can do. Please can you take a look? Thanks, Whitehorse1 19:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) Hi, Lifebaka. I saw the copyright issue with Grandique Ferry, Nova Scotia listed at WP:CV. Since it appears you've already cleaned up the article, I'm going to mark this as resolved and remove the CV template, if that is okay with you. Considering the article's history, I am surprised it wasn't semi-protected. It ought to be. That is, if you don't PROD or Afd it for notability and verifiability concerns. — CactusWriter | needles 09:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

This is 14 hours closed too early. Please see the note that states to add 14 hours because of an earlier pre-mature closed which derailed discussion. I do not want to go through a DRV again. Plus, you ignored multiple things - there were two keeps from two people who edit the page, and at least one keep without any real justification from a user basically following another and echoing. Then there are many merges which would mean that the page would not exist in its format.
In my count, I see 24 deletes, 23 keeps, 1 weak keep, and 5 merges/move off. The 5 merges would mean that the page would no longer exist as its own page. The weak keep, along with the two article creator keeps, and the meat puppet keep would be weighed less. Regardless of weight, the raw value would be only 45% keep. With weight, the value would be even more to the removal of the page. Consensus is not divided, as it leans heavily towards the removal of the page. Ottava Rima ( talk) 00:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
This is rather inappropriate. You predecided the outcome. This suggests that you may not have read everything in a thorough manner nor came in unbiased. You have clearly breached the CoI statement. You also closed 14 hours early. Please undo your close, as I would hate to go through another DRV and there is a lot of evidence against the propriety of your close. You have tainted the AfD by your presence and your comments. Ottava Rima ( talk) 00:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I am not engaging in an edit war, i'm defending the integrety of this page. This person, using an anonymous IP attacks me first by calling work childish. Why not use a logon so someone can leave a return message? He asked for references and they were supplied, then proceeds to tell me what i already know. I am a Ramapough and who would know more about my family than me? There was alot of misinformation posted on here over the years before I started to add the correct information with historical references to prove it. i don't mind coauthoring something but i will not allow misinformation to be posted because Wiki influence is seen around the world and our kids will not be subjected to any more lies about us. If i had my way this page wouldn't even exist as far as i'm concerned.

I am interested in seeing the content on the page you deleted as I am in the process of compiling data etc from my years of beekeeping to add this page to the Wiki.

You have atlast removed the picture ShaikhChandScan.jpg. for some silly reasons. I guess a responsible administrator should first get to the roots and then take a decision. It was a harsh and hasty decision. When no one from Wikipedia:India objects to the image, who are you to object and remove the picture. Kindly restore it or let the administrators from Wikipedia:India decide about the fate of the picture. Cheers

On the nineteenth, you reviewed and put on hold a block by Brandon ( talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) to the user Goramon ( talk · contribs · block log). You requested a clarification from the blocking administrator, and slightly over an hour later, one was given on the blocked user's talk page. Now, just under five days later, the blocked user has appeared on IRC asking for someone to inform you about this request, and make sure that you had not forgotten about it.

As she has been unblocked, could you please review the block of User:86.33.46.93?

Would you mind sending one my way? Unless it's an extreme BLP violation, which I doubt, I'm wondering if it would be a reasonable move to restore a copy of that as a sub-page of the DrV page for the duration of the DrV or arbcom case, with a "no index" instruction so that it doesn't get picked up in search engines and edit protected so we can be sure to preserve the exact version that was deleted and it doesn't become the subject of new dispute. Has anyone ever thought of doing that for DRV cases? Wikidemon ( talk) 07:19, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I'm approaching you because you're an admin active at WT:AFD who hasn't commented at WT:Articles for deletion#Merging during live AfD.

On September 25 you made the good-faith claim that the only one who disputed a point I made that same day (that this is a conflict between someone who does not provide sources or does so in a way that violates NOR and NPOV, versus people trying to uphold those policies) is Stevertigo himself. With respect, I think that this comment shows that there is at least one other person who disputes my point (which is why I felt it was a point that needed to be made).

Hi, you removed the CSD tag from Category:Universal Parks & Resorts by quality, with the comment that it's not a candidate for CSD G8. Maybe I should have explained better why do I want to delete it: the category (and its subcategories) is named incorrectly and I created today the correct Category:Universal Parks & Resorts articles by quality and fixed the template. So I think those categories should be deleted under WP:CSD G8 as “categories populated by […] retargeted templates”. Could you delete them then? Or do you still think G8 doesn't apply? Thanks.

Greetings! Please excuse this intrusion on your talk page, and allow me to invite you to participate on the newly-formed Wikipedia Contribution Team, or WP:CONTRIB for short! The goal of the team is to attract more and better contributions specifically to the English Wikipedia, as well as to help support the fundraising team in our financial and editing contribution goals. We have lots of stuff to work on, from minor and major page building, to wikiproject outreach, article improvement, donor contacting, and more -- in fact, part of our mission is to empower team members to make their own projects to support our mission. Some of our projects only take a few minutes to work on, while others can be large, multi-person tasks -- whatever your interest level, we're glad to have you. If this sounds of interest to you, please visit WP:CONTRIB and sign onto the team. Even if there does not appear to be anything that really speaks out as being work you'd like to do, I'd encourage you to join and follow the project anyway, as the type of work we'll be doing will certainly evolve and change over time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, or ask on the Contribution talk page. Regards, ⇒ DanRosenthal Wikipedia Contribution Team 19:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
I got the email you referred to in Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2010 November 8#User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Brookings lists of released captives.
Thank you for your explanation that you do not want to take a position on whether or not the original list was copyrightable.
I hope you will take the time to answer some other questions arising from your closure, or related to this discussion.
I hope you dont mind me asking you about a phrase you used. You wrote: “I have placed below the portion of your user page which is not an identical copy of Appendix II of the Brooking study.”
In the context of intellectual property rights I am happy to trust your judgment that the subpage was an "identical copy" of Brookings's study. From a practical point of view, though, hadn't the subpage been very heavily wikified? I think the revision history gives a hint as to how much effort I put into wikifying the sub-page. I have done a lot of work on the Guantanamo captives' habeas corpus petitions -- hundreds of hours. This subpage in userspace was part of the scaffolding to support those efforts.
The admininstrator who deleted this subpage seems to have taken a position that I think is strongly at odds with our policies, and with our long-standing conventions. It seems to me that the deleting administrator thinks it is appropriate to hold subpages I have created in userspace to a higher standard than that we require of articles in article space. When a legitimate, policy-based concern is voiced about an article in article space, and then that concern has been adequately addressed, that article is allowed to remain in article space. The deleting administrator′s position seems to be that if they once voiced what they regard as a legitimate, policy-based concern over subpages I have created in userspace, they can delete that subpage, even if their stated concerns had subsequently been adequately addressed.
The material you emailed me consisted of the sentence, "178 habeas petitions were cited, most only once." followed by the list of the names of those 178 habeas petitions. That list of petition names hasn't the remotest trace of copyrightability. In my opinion my sentence is brief enough that I would never claim it was copyrightable. IMO it is just below the border of de minimus.
As I believe I noted, in the DRV, there isn't a single passage on pages 69 through 84 that anyone could claim was protected intellectual property. Like my list of 178 habeas names it was purely the product of collation. There was no spark of creativity. The names of the captives are "facts" -- not copyrightable. The names of their habeas petitions are "facts" -- not copyrightable. The titles of the newspaper articles the Brookings authors used as references, the authors, the dates, the publications, all the bibliographic material are "facts" -- not copyrightable. Pages 85 through 90 contain some phrases, sentence fragments, more brief than the sentence you sent to me by email, that the deleting administrator claims are copyrightable. What was I thinking when I created this subpage? Did I decide those passages were too brief to merit being considered intellectual property? Or did I simply overlook considering the question altogether?
I dunno. Being emailed a copy of my source might help me remember. But, I suggest, if we honor the principle that if material once raised a policy-based concern, is subsequently fixed, it is allowed to remain, even if the deleting administrator's assertion that the half-dozen passages repeated on the final pages were long enough to merit copyright protection this page could be made compliant with trivial effort. As I believe I suggested in the DRV, if the those passages were excised, or if I replaced all those passages with a phrase I drafted, then the page would be completely compliant with COPYVIO, even if the deleting administrator's assertion those half-dozen passages were copyrightable.
Yes, I haven′t forgotten that you chose not to address the question of whether the material was copyrightable. But I believe even if , for the sake of argument, the page contained some copyrightable passages, the page could be made compliant with COPYVIO, with trivial effort.
The Brooking's tables were collated before the DoD published an authoritative list of which captives were, and which captives weren't still in custody in Guantanamo. It was superceded by a "Consolidated list". So the list is of very little value for determining who remained in Guantanamo when it was published. What it is of value for is for collating which captives are named in which habeas petitions. It is an area of our coverage of these topics that, in my opinion, needs more work. And this table -- the wikified version of this table that I was using in userspace is of great value to me. It is potentially of great value to anyone working on our coverage of the habeas petitions.
So, I request you reconsider your decision to only email me this portion of the deleted material. Would you please consider emailing me the full text of the deleted material? Geo Swan ( talk) 21:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

In search of advice by an administrator, I've stumbled across you, the person that welcomed me to Wikipedia many moons ago. I'm having 'trouble' with another editor. (S)he's clearly biased, and actually explicitly acknowledged that several times! During a discussion about an edit or piece of text, it's difficult to not get sidetracked by the many (I guess) flamebaits and off-topic comments made by that editor. In the few places third editors have responded, they have 'sided' with me, actually validating my arguments. However, up till now, it has never escalated, or resulted in a out-right conflict, so I'm not sure it there's anything Admin Powers (tm) can really solve at this point. I can give specifics (names, places, ...) if needed, but I guess in all fairness we'd have to involve that other editor too then, and I'm not sure if that's what's best right now. -- DanielPharos ( talk) 20:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
You seem to be the admin who blocked User:Googleisawesome and User:Channel 6 for disruptive sockpuppetry, so I thought I would bring this to your attention. Hope that's ok. It's just that I noticed that there is some confusion looking at their user page and talk page as to whether they are blocked for abuse of sockpuppets, or blocked because they are sockpuppets. Indeed, one message on each seems to indicate that they are sockpuppets of each other. Now, don't get me wrong, whoever this is has clearly done some massive abusive sockpuppetry, and I fully support a block, it's just that it seems precedurally problematic that it's not clear which one is the 'master' account, should they ever request an unblock. It might be worth just deciding that the oldest account is the master account, and making it clear that they are blocked for sockpuppetry (and could request an unblock) whereas all the other accounts (and there are loads!) are blocked as sockpuppets and therefore are never likely to be unblocked. I hope that makes sense, and you see what I'm getting at. Thanks.-- Korruski Talk 12:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I had two messages at once, one stating that I hadn't left a message in my "Talk", when I clearly had and the second saying you had deleted the page whilst I was editing it. I was in fact editing it using sources found on-line including newspaper articles just before you deleted it and although I detest bringing this to your attention since it seems rather petty but I was wondering whether there was anyway in which the deleted page could be reinstated or if, upon my creation of the page again, that would meet with another deletion message? In either case, I have found at least one reputable source which could be used and am still searching for more.
I hope you can help. Danglickman ( talk) 20:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
If you could move it to my userspace, I would be very grateful, I probably should have done that myself I just didn't realise it would be flagged for deletion before I had found reputable sources and/or other information to include. At least this way I can fully complete it and it gives me more time to compile sources.
So yeah, Thanks a lot! Danglickman ( talk) 20:45, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I suppressed the above userpage as yes, it was a self-reveal and yes, they are not a minor. However, I've no way of knowing just who's information that actually is, and whether this was done in all innocence or not. I'd rather warn the editor once at least and give them the chance of not releasing such information in future. You can't realistically put that cat back into the bag once it's released. Given the verifiability issue, the detail of the information and the fact that a request was placed with the oversight team, I've chosen to suppress it. Thanks - Alison ❤ 02:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind, but I reverted your deletion. Although it's the same picture, the web site has a logo on top. Looks like the uploader is the web site owner, and has saved the web site copy in a slightly lower resolution, added a logo, stripped out all the camera EXIF data, just so it's not an exact match to his upload here. I also double checked in PhotoShop at 800% or so, and there is zero evidence of any logo removal. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Why the haste? The issue is not settled. There is opinion, but there is no refutation using the force of reason. It is true that without anyone else giving a "second" to continue discussion, I am hesitant to respond. But the page at WP:DELREV has not been working correctly all day today, who knows what responses will yet arrive. There is a basic problem in that none of the responses reference guidelines.

"Save Old Man Murray" → If that doesn't describe Wikipedia's absolute monopoly over the rest of the Internet, nothing does. Wikipedia literally rules the world. – MuZemike 07:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
"Within Gaming, this kind of practice is somewhat commonplace: bloggers such as " Lum the Mad" and " Old Man Murray" are among the most respected commentators and journalists" Squire, K (2008) "Critical Education in an Interactive Age" in Mirror Images: Popular Culture and Education Peter Lang:New York [13]-- Cooper42 17:38, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Somebody should create an article on "Deletion of Old Man Murray." The event has warranted a lengthy article on rockpapershotgun, which made the slashdot frontpage, and one Blue's News, all of which are valid sources for gaming topics according to wikipedia's own list. As the event is notable and therefore deletion proof we could then make a section on Old Man Murray where we could gather all that unworthy stuff from Wired, PC Gamer and Gabe Whatshisname (what has he ever done for gaming?), as well as one on how the original article was nominated for deletion, twice, despite a clear COI. 188.174.70.221 ( talk) 19:20, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
I was shocked to hear that the Old Man Murray Article was deleted... Absolutely ridiculous. There are certainly many Wikipedia articles that deserve deletion, I've even pointed out a few of them in the past, but Old Man Murray was one of the most influential technology writers during the coming of age of the Internet. —Preceding

Dear Mr. Hughes,
We have communicated via email and I wanted to follow-up on our discussion. In our last correspondence, you mentioned that you are willing to "userfy the article to a subpage", so that I can continue to work on the live copy, could I please have this done? Additionally, per your suggestion, I have reviewed the COI page and am willing to continue work on the "Totsy" page so that I am not in violation of Wikipedia rules.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry to bother you again, but now that you have set-up the subpage I am wondering how the article will become live again. Will it have to go through an inspection process again? Will I need to notify someone after I am done editing? Also, in your email to me, you mentioned that you did not delete the "Totsy" page because of the tone, but because it gave people "zero reason why they should care about Totsy." Although these pages are in your jurisdiction, I believe that this reason is somewhat arbitrary and therefore am having trouble proceeding with my article. Initially, I was trying to portray the importance of Totsy, but feared that it may seem self-promotional. You directed be towards the COI page and am unsure how I can accomplish explaining the importance of Totsy without violating any of the terms listed in the COI page. I am not saying that this isn't possible, I know it is as Wikipedia handles this on a daily basis, but I would love some guidance from someone who edits, reads, and is exposed to Wikipedia pages frequently. After looking over the article again, and looking over several other Wikipedis pages, I am hoping to understand why the "Totsy" page keeps being questioned.
Thank you in advance

Hi. You closed the Sergeant Hatred DRV at WP:Deletion review/Log/2011 March 22. A few hours after your close, I added a comment, which was quickly reverted by User:Dream Focus. I discussed the revert with Dream Focus at User talk:Dream Focus#Sergeant Hatred DRV, and he suggested that I ask you, as the closing admin.
My stance is that my comment adds value, especially the link to WT:Articles for deletion/Archive 61#RfC: Merge, redirect. That it was a few hours late could be overlooked in the spirit of WP:Ignore all rules. Would you allow my comment to stand at the DRV?

While he hasn't ventured outside his talkpage, he's accusing every admin who had a part in blocking/not unblocking him of misconduct, and still has no clue about the edit war block which he feels was not appropriate since he didn't breach the WP:3RR. He's deleted all my inquiries without answering them, which is allowed but at this point very rude. Could you give them a bit more time off, or delete the attacks from Gharr's talk page or whatever?

Hi there. My name is Ryan and I am trying to clean up the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx page. I'll be honest with you, I am: 1) very, very new to Wikipedia, and am getting very overwhelmed at how long changes take and all of the rules that have to be followed to put a page together (my deadline is today), 2) am trying to add two images to a page, and that has to do with a file you deleted from Wikipedia Commons, and 3) I just need some HELP from someone who wants to help other people follow the guidelines on Wikipedia, but also finish the work they have to do. Having said that, I am trying to upload again the image you deleted, but this time correctly. I don't know whether the image is copyrighted, but I know that the owner has given me permission to use it, and I need to upload it and include it on his page. Additionally, I have been assigned the task of creating a page based on a collection of notable and verifiable significance called the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection. It has multiple references both in print and online. But I must finish the changes on the other page before creating the collection page. People on wikipedia have been very short and unhelpful to me so far, and it appears that the people that have been on here the longest have the experience, and also the power to just come in and change or delete what I've done without offering any real help to meet compliance.

However, if not, the images are copyright infringement from".
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I have been working all week on this. I have another question, though. Is all that needs to happen to get the image owner/creator to say on his website that he permits user raw4815 to post his images on wikipedia? Should he instead state 'post images anywhere'?

Hi Lifebaka. In your closing comments for the Abraham Reuel AfD you wrote:
However, Dougweller's point that Abraham's story might be notable is good, valid, and those favoring deletion come nowhere near refuting it. However, there is no discussion about whether the story is itself actually widely known or reported...
With respect, I find it very hard to understand these comments. First, and just as a trivial clarification, Dougweller didn't participate in the AfD; it was user Dweller I believe you were referring to.
More importantly, it's my impression that notability is a more of an objectively-defined standard than a matter of subjective impressions. That being so, I don't understand how Dweller's assertion, "Keep. Story is notable" without any supporting evidence forms a sufficient basis for your statement "his point that Abraham's story might be notable is good, valid". It might be notable? On what basis? On what evidence?
Also, I'm just very puzzled by your statement that the AfD included "no discussion about whether the story itself is actually widely known or reported". That's exactly what most of the discussion was about, as I read it. The principal basis for the AfD and most of its discussion was the lack of reliable source coverage of this story. I doubt any article that has been at AfD recently has been the subject of a more painstaking search for sources by so many people. I even initiated a search in German and Hebrew with the assistance of volunteers at the reference desk, and linked to that refdesk thread. Those searches turned up absolutely nothing, a fact which was disclosed more than once in the AfD thread.
As was also discussed at length at AfD, this article is based on exactly one reliable source that's relevant for notability purposes. But one such source does not meet the requirements of WP:BIO, WP:GNG, or WP:BLP1E, as I read those policies. With all possible respect, I'd like to ask you to please take some additional time to review the discussion, the article, and the article talk page, in terms of those policies, and revisit your decision in this matter.
It'd be fine if you'd like to reply here, as I've temporarily watchlisted this page. Many thanks, – OhioStandard ( talk) 13:20, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Just re-read your closing comment at AfD: Could you be saying that although the subject isn't notable, you think his claimed biography might be? That'd be an interesting suggestion, but if you're making it, I'd again have to ask what basis or evidence you have for thinking so, and to just observe that in searching for sources of notability for the subject, we all necessarily searched for the same re the biography, as well. – OhioStandard ( talk) 16:36, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey,
Could you explain your rationale here ("don't need to move one redirect over another one")? The page that's requested to be moved is not a redirect.
For what it's worth, I'm doing this to follow up for a user who originally sent the redirect to RfD here, which I closed since that's not the right venue to request what amounts to a pagemove. What he wants to do, obviously, is have the page currently located at Take Me To Your Leader located at the lower-case title Take me to your leader, which is the redirect in question. Thanks-- Glenfarclas ( talk) 03:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
It was me who originally requested the move. WP:CAPS says:
For page titles, always use lowercase after the first word, and do not capitalize second and subsequent words, unless the title is a proper noun.
The article is about a phrase used by aliens, and there is no evidence that the capitalisation of the title has ever been discussed previously. The redirect is blocking the proper renaming of the page, so needs to be deleted. Rwxrwxrwx ( talk) 09:00, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi LifeBaka. I must contest the deletion of this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeks . It describes a software used by many users, including a high trafic website, that of Ubuntu France. The search engine Seeks has a wikipedia page in French that was never contested. It's a very much discussed piece of free software (see refs and documents, there are even more, mailing lists, forums, IRC chan logs that are all public). Moreover, similar software Faroo and Yacy have similar pages. I can't see how the importance of decentralized search, and that of alternative Free software search engine, differ from Faroo and Yacy to Seeks. I've read A7 and I'm familiar with Wikipedia's rules. Again, I believe it does require more explanations here for deletion than just invoking A7. I'm not sure what are the steps to contest this deletion, but I'm willing to take them, and I'd be sincerely interested in your comments and directions for doing this. Thanks.

I appreciate that leaving it alone will stop that dispute, and that's fine. That however, will not change the fact that this was a symptom of the underlying problem. Incidentally, it's gone from accusing me of vandalism (which is still listed on the anon's user page) to accusing another editor of wikistalking [14] which doesn't exactly inspire a great deal of confidence...nor does the fact that contributors are needing to exhaust their time responding to the type of thing. In any event, I hope you will keep an eye out and appreciate the message several members of the Community were trying to express here - that is, even without my involvement, this will probably be resolved in one of two ways, but it is my hope that the proactive-intervention way will deal with it.

I posted a Wikipedia article about Development as a Service but it was flagged for advertising. I'm petitioning the article because it mentions several companies who provide the service, making it an unbiased article. The article has already been deleted, but I am going to post it again, hoping for your consideration.
Thanks.

Dear Mr Lifebaka,
I have placed the proposed text on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandeep999/TURF_Insight . Please take a look and comment on how to make it Wikipedia ready. I already can think of many things like Key attributes and Architecture as sections which could be interpreted as promotional. But since these are very valuable insights into the product itself, I thought I'd ask your opinion before I delete.
My request would be to please guide me to make this article publishable. I have tried to keep it way more neutral than any other such article like the Google Search Appliance page which talks of a similar product. Please do be patient and guide me through the process.
Thanks

Dear Mr Lifebaka,
Due to the points made by Tagishsimon which hints at a possible sabotage soon, I have changed the article to be based on the parent company. It is under : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandeep999/Xurmo_Technologies . Please review it and comment on it soon. One of the points regarding the Language Modeling being linked to the Language Institute in CMU is because the head of the Language Institute Prof Jaime Carbonell is the advisor for xurmo as can be clearly seen on the Xurmo website as well. He is helping them with the language modeling part that the Language Institute describes as its research area. Please review again and comment. Thanks.

Hello, In Fact we decided that the name "Commercial Location Development" we used in the beginning was not precise enough. We would like to replace it with : "Inter-municipal Land Use Planning". With the same basic content that we would like to update.
If you can change the name of the existing page, you're welcome to do it. If not please let me create a page with the new name: I created "Inter-municipal land use planning" that I redirected to "Commercial location development" is it the right way to do it ? - Or would prefer us to add a chapter on "Inter-municipal land use planning" in the page "Land Use Planning" ?

Just wanted to make sure you saw my reply at WP:ANI#User:AndreaCarax.— Kww( talk) 16:02, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
You mentioned: "No one here is saying anything about that, or you, except to explain the situation. Please calm down. Cheers." This comment came from you after several interactions around Carlossuarez 46, wherein he did imply I was a sockpuppet, or some other god awful thing in the first ANI posting he made (NOT the one you commented on). At that time there had been debate between Carlos and I with a good bit of back and forth centering on the following argument: How does a knowledgeable local editor disprove a citation for a place (from Carlos' GNIS source) that never existed but has as US Geological citation nonetheless? In that earlier discussion, Carlos actually ORDERED me to "move on" and calls me a dick, to which I called him "rapacious" (which looks to be factual now more than ever). Later after my GNIS post on Highspeed's (whom I took on good faith to be a straight forward, stand up editor) talk page, Carlos places me in his FIRST ANI posting related to Highspeed, saying that he will leave it to others to decide if I am a "sockpuppet, vandal or some other sort of problem." I can tell you that I am still reeling and incredulous at that vast stretch. I am also incredulous that it is possible that this kind of person can be an administrator herein. He has caused a furor, which includes at least several California county templates. Now it is left to User:Luna Santin to FINALLY make an attempt to address his heavy handed, if not abusive, behavior (explicitly related to "draconian" use of admin privileges) directly.
Returning to my original GNIS comment at User:Highspeed, this editor reached out to me because of my comment about what looked like the same frustration (really shock) I was experiencing over extraordinarily prolific stub creation by Carlos using one or two sources that are all too often way off base, leading to new "community" articles that are duplicated, misspelled, etc). Carlos has systematically concocted and connected (whether by misconception or otherwise is now immaterial) me into a myth (or reality-still not about me) related to Highspeed and alleged vandalism, sockpupretry and so forth. This interaction has been the most stressful period in my entire history with Wikipedia. I do not appreciate the behavior and I have been shocked to see other editors such as Nytend go along with Carlos so easily. It is interesting that Nytend is the one to assist in this matter as he tends to agree with Carlos on much of the mess in California County templates related to mega stub article creation. I have purposely not added a bunch of examples or links here in part because you can see on the pages related to the players what has occurred. I just wanted you to have some background on my justifiable concern. I can tell you after this that I could not have imagined that I could actually experience fear in my experience here at Wikipedia. But it happened in this situation, which is why I mentioned the Goebbels type of propaganda in the ANI related to this issue. Of note, Carlos even, if suavely, attacked me for that. I can tell you that I am sick of the entire issue.
Returning to my interest to work toward an accurate encyclopedia, I realize that I need to do a lot of work to directly address the new problems that arose related to the "communities" created by Carlos and I will steadily work to improve my article development syntax, etc. In fact I have asked a person well connected to the GNIS place name debate to assist me. I will also note here that the person, User:Pfly, is not in conflict with any of the other editors or administrators involved in the ruckus in the first place. Thanks you, Norcalal ( talk) 03:38, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
User:Aliveatoms has created an AfD on station KZEY, in a pointed attempt to irritate a situation with User:RadioFan. Apparently RadioFan nom'd a page made by Aliveatoms for deletion.

Cross-posted to here, to make sure you saw my reply. I don't even necessarily agree with the consensus view, but those of us reverting the IP were simply restoring the consensus version.

I don't much apprectiate the situation here being branded a "lame edit war". I totally agree it is a minor issue that has been blown way out of proportion, but that's why I took it to where I hoped it could be swiftly dealt with. All my edits were altruistic and done with no haste, not at all " confrontational, combative, non-productive use of editing". If there was a better way to handle the problem, I would prefer to be informed of it rather than basically be told "stop or get blocked". U-Mos ( talk) 20:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. While 'pediasurfing I came across a mention of the Louisdale, Nova Scotia article, and thought I'd run with the suggestion to take it in hand & give it an overhaul. Still, I'll learn. ;) You'd recently deleted copyvio revisions/content from the article.
Aiming to cleanup the article I looked at the text, and where its wikilinks went. It quickly became clear there's more of the same pov-spamming problems still out there. There seem to be 2 themes: the 'real history' conspiracy along with somehow connected swathes of rambling about ships.
One wikilink was to "Grandique Ferry". Apart from mirrors, their geocities/piczo/other sites, and mirror-like sites, there doesn't seem to be any real online reference to Grandique Ferry. The gov.ns.ca site shows it on a map as a tiny locality (as opposed to being designated a 'community' former or otherwise).
I followed the Grandique Ferry link and deleted one of their realhistory spamlinks. One section was barely intelligible; I couldn't work it out to fix so section-cleanup tagged it. Another section came across as a pov-push of "The Truth", which I neutrality-tagged to be checked out. Having since looked around more, I now believe the content's one big cut and paste job. I've not yet placed a copyvio template. A past revision of the Louisdale article ( diff) has the same content. The Lennox Passage, Nova Scotia has a duplicate of the Grandique Ferry Shipwrecks section. It looks like a big mess of multiple socking accounts, spreading barely intelligible text about it across stacks of Nova Scotian articles: West Arichat, Nova Scotia being another example. I think similar admin cleanup might be needed. Thanks, Lifebaka. Whitehorse1 03:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for replying. Copyvios are something I template on sight, when I come across them. The reason I brought this here, is there is more involved than mere simple copyvio.
As you know, from the July 21, 2009 AN/I post, there is a history of spamming, copyright violations, AfD/ CSD deletions, and or-pov-soapboxing with the Louisdale, Nova Scotia article. As GRBerry points out here, the Louisdale problems date back to early 2006.
The Louisdale, Nova Scotia WhatLinksHere and wikilinks from that article show it's spilled over across many Nova Scotia articles.
The sheer scale and multiple aspects to the problem make it hard to get on top of. There are deleted revisions involved, for example. Many. From what GRBerry has said, it has been going on for 3 1/2 years. The multiple accounts/anons leave the impression of socking or at the least meatpuppets. It's not possible to determine how many of those exist with a standard account. I've already spent a while on this now, but for the reasons just given there's a limit to what I can do. Please can you take a look? Thanks, Whitehorse1 19:47, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) Hi, Lifebaka. I saw the copyright issue with Grandique Ferry, Nova Scotia listed at WP:CV. Since it appears you've already cleaned up the article, I'm going to mark this as resolved and remove the CV template, if that is okay with you. Considering the article's history, I am surprised it wasn't semi-protected. It ought to be. That is, if you don't PROD or Afd it for notability and verifiability concerns. — CactusWriter | needles 09:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

This is 14 hours closed too early. Please see the note that states to add 14 hours because of an earlier pre-mature closed which derailed discussion. I do not want to go through a DRV again. Plus, you ignored multiple things - there were two keeps from two people who edit the page, and at least one keep without any real justification from a user basically following another and echoing. Then there are many merges which would mean that the page would not exist in its format.
In my count, I see 24 deletes, 23 keeps, 1 weak keep, and 5 merges/move off. The 5 merges would mean that the page would no longer exist as its own page. The weak keep, along with the two article creator keeps, and the meat puppet keep would be weighed less. Regardless of weight, the raw value would be only 45% keep. With weight, the value would be even more to the removal of the page. Consensus is not divided, as it leans heavily towards the removal of the page. Ottava Rima ( talk) 00:39, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I am a Ramapough and who would know more about my family than me? There was alot of misinformation posted on here over the years before I started to add the correct information with historical references to prove it. i don't mind coauthoring something but i will not allow misinformation to be posted because Wiki influence is seen around the world and our kids will not be subjected to any more lies about us.

You have atlast removed the picture ShaikhChandScan.jpg. for some silly reasons. I guess a responsible administrator should first get to the roots and then take a decision.

You requested a clarification from the blocking administrator, and slightly over an hour later, one was given on the blocked user's talk page. Now, just under five days later, the blocked user has appeared on IRC asking for someone to inform you about this request, and make sure that you had not forgotten about it. When you have a chance, I would appreciate it if you could review this unblock request and either decline or grant it (depending on how you feel about Branon's explanation), as it has been on hold for a moderately-long time.

Thanks for helping me and my colleagues test the NICE interface modification. Depending on when you installed the tool, you were only presented with a specific subset of the features we have developed. We are ready to roll out the full feature set which, we expect, will make the gadget significantly more useful. Before we do that, we'd like you to answer a few questions about your activity in Wikipedia as it relates to undoing other's edits and what you thought of the NICE features you were shown.
The survey will ask for your Wikipedia username, but you can participate anonymously if you choose. To do so, send me an email with an address I can respond to and I will have the survey software respond with an anonymous token for you to continue. -- E poch F ail ( talk| contribs) 17:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello Lifebaka, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Vladimir 518 has been removed.

It appears that (according to her) a lot of the references were not valid. I have told her how she should go about making changes, both via email, and a summary on her talk page. As she has been unblocked, could you please review the block of User:86.33.46.93? I will keep an eye whenever I can on what she does, and have warned her that if her editing style continues the way it started, then she is likely to be blocked again, and there is not a lot I will be able to do about it.

Hi, you removed the CSD tag from Category:Universal Parks & Resorts by quality, with the comment that it's not a candidate for CSD G8.

So I think those categories should be deleted under WP:CSD G8 as “categories populated by […] retargeted templates”. Could you delete them then? Or do you still think G8 doesn't apply? Thanks.

Greetings! Please excuse this intrusion on your talk page, and allow me to invite you to participate on the newly-formed Wikipedia Contribution Team, or WP:CONTRIB for short! The goal of the team is to attract more and better contributions specifically to the English Wikipedia, as well as to help support the fundraising team in our financial and editing contribution goals. We have lots of stuff to work on, from minor and major page building, to wikiproject outreach, article improvement, donor contacting, and more -- in fact, part of our mission is to empower team members to make their own projects to support our mission. Some of our projects only take a few minutes to work on, while others can be large, multi-person tasks -- whatever your interest level, we're glad to have you. If this sounds of interest to you, please visit WP:CONTRIB and sign onto the team. Even if there does not appear to be anything that really speaks out as being work you'd like to do, I'd encourage you to join and follow the project anyway, as the type of work we'll be doing will certainly evolve and change over time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, or ask on the Contribution talk page. Regards, ⇒ DanRosenthal Wikipedia Contribution Team 19:50, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
I got the email you referred to in Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2010 November 8#User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Brookings lists of released captives.
Thank you for your explanation that you do not want to take a position on whether or not the original list was copyrightable.
I hope you will take the time to answer some other questions arising from your closure, or related to this discussion.
I hope you dont mind me asking you about a phrase you used. You wrote: “I have placed below the portion of your user page which is not an identical copy of Appendix II of the Brooking study.”
In the context of intellectual property rights I am happy to trust your judgment that the subpage was an "identical copy" of Brookings's study. From a practical point of view, though, hadn't the subpage been very heavily wikified? I think the revision history gives a hint as to how much effort I put into wikifying the sub-page. I have done a lot of work on the Guantanamo captives' habeas corpus petitions -- hundreds of hours. This subpage in userspace was part of the scaffolding to support those efforts.
The admininstrator who deleted this subpage seems to have taken a position that I think is strongly at odds with our policies, and with our long-standing conventions. It seems to me that the deleting administrator thinks it is appropriate to hold subpages I have created in userspace to a higher standard than that we require of articles in article space. When a legitimate, policy-based concern is voiced about an article in article space, and then that concern has been adequately addressed, that article is allowed to remain in article space. The deleting administrator′s position seems to be that if they once voiced what they regard as a legitimate, policy-based concern over subpages I have created in userspace, they can delete that subpage, even if their stated concerns had subsequently been adequately addressed.
The material you emailed me consisted of the sentence, "178 habeas petitions were cited, most only once." followed by the list of the names of those 178 habeas petitions. That list of petition names hasn't the remotest trace of copyrightability. In my opinion my sentence is brief enough that I would never claim it was copyrightable. IMO it is just below the border of de minimus.
As I believe I noted, in the DRV, there isn't a single passage on pages 69 through 84 that anyone could claim was protected intellectual property. Like my list of 178 habeas names it was purely the product of collation. There was no spark of creativity. The names of the captives are "facts" -- not copyrightable. The names of their habeas petitions are "facts" -- not copyrightable. The titles of the newspaper articles the Brookings authors used as references, the authors, the dates, the publications, all the bibliographic material are "facts" -- not copyrightable. Pages 85 through 90 contain some phrases, sentence fragments, more brief than the sentence you sent to me by email, that the deleting administrator claims are copyrightable. What was I thinking when I created this subpage? Did I decide those passages were too brief to merit being considered intellectual property? Or did I simply overlook considering the question altogether?
I dunno. Being emailed a copy of my source might help me remember. But, I suggest, if we honor the principle that if material once raised a policy-based concern, is subsequently fixed, it is allowed to remain, even if the deleting administrator's assertion that the half-dozen passages repeated on the final pages were long enough to merit copyright protection this page could be made compliant with trivial effort. As I believe I suggested in the DRV, if the those passages were excised, or if I replaced all those passages with a phrase I drafted, then the page would be completely compliant with COPYVIO, even if the deleting administrator's assertion those half-dozen passages were copyrightable.
Yes, I haven′t forgotten that you chose not to address the question of whether the material was copyrightable. But I believe even if , for the sake of argument, the page contained some copyrightable passages, the page could be made compliant with COPYVIO, with trivial effort.
The Brooking's tables were collated before the DoD published an authoritative list of which captives were, and which captives weren't still in custody in Guantanamo. It was superceded by a "Consolidated list". So the list is of very little value for determining who remained in Guantanamo when it was published. What it is of value for is for collating which captives are named in which habeas petitions. It is an area of our coverage of these topics that, in my opinion, needs more work. And this table -- the wikified version of this table that I was using in userspace is of great value to me. It is potentially of great value to anyone working on our coverage of the habeas petitions.
So, I request you reconsider your decision to only email me this portion of the deleted material. Would you please consider emailing me the full text of the deleted material? Geo Swan ( talk) 21:09, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

In search of advice by an administrator, I've stumbled across you, the person that welcomed me to Wikipedia many moons ago. I'm having 'trouble' with another editor. (S)he's clearly biased, and actually explicitly acknowledged that several times! During a discussion about an edit or piece of text, it's difficult to not get sidetracked by the many (I guess) flamebaits and off-topic comments made by that editor. In the few places third editors have responded, they have 'sided' with me, actually validating my arguments. However, up till now, it has never escalated, or resulted in a out-right conflict, so I'm not sure it there's anything Admin Powers (tm) can really solve at this point. I can give specifics (names, places, ...) if needed, but I guess in all fairness we'd have to involve that other editor too then, and I'm not sure if that's what's best right now. -- DanielPharos ( talk) 20:51, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
You seem to be the admin who blocked User:Googleisawesome and User:Channel 6 for disruptive sockpuppetry, so I thought I would bring this to your attention. Hope that's ok. It's just that I noticed that there is some confusion looking at their user page and talk page as to whether they are blocked for abuse of sockpuppets, or blocked because they are sockpuppets. Indeed, one message on each seems to indicate that they are sockpuppets of each other. Now, don't get me wrong, whoever this is has clearly done some massive abusive sockpuppetry, and I fully support a block, it's just that it seems precedurally problematic that it's not clear which one is the 'master' account, should they ever request an unblock. It might be worth just deciding that the oldest account is the master account, and making it clear that they are blocked for sockpuppetry (and could request an unblock) whereas all the other accounts (and there are loads!) are blocked as sockpuppets and therefore are never likely to be unblocked. I hope that makes sense, and you see what I'm getting at. Thanks.-- Korruski Talk 12:31, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I had two messages at once, one stating that I hadn't left a message in my "Talk", when I clearly had and the second saying you had deleted the page whilst I was editing it. I was in fact editing it using sources found on-line including newspaper articles just before you deleted it and although I detest bringing this to your attention since it seems rather petty but I was wondering whether there was anyway in which the deleted page could be reinstated or if, upon my creation of the page again, that would meet with another deletion message? In either case, I have found at least one reputable source which could be used and am still searching for more.
I hope you can help. Danglickman ( talk) 20:32, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
If you could move it to my userspace, I would be very grateful, I probably should have done that myself I just didn't realise it would be flagged for deletion before I had found reputable sources and/or other information to include. At least this way I can fully complete it and it gives me more time to compile sources.
So yeah, Thanks a lot! Danglickman ( talk) 20:45, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I suppressed the above userpage as yes, it was a self-reveal and yes, they are not a minor. However, I've no way of knowing just who's information that actually is, and whether this was done in all innocence or not. I'd rather warn the editor once at least and give them the chance of not releasing such information in future. You can't realistically put that cat back into the bag once it's released. Given the verifiability issue, the detail of the information and the fact that a request was placed with the oversight team, I've chosen to suppress it. Thanks - Alison ❤ 02:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Hope you don't mind, but I reverted your deletion. Although it's the same picture, the web site has a logo on top. Looks like the uploader is the web site owner, and has saved the web site copy in a slightly lower resolution, added a logo, stripped out all the camera EXIF data, just so it's not an exact match to his upload here. I also double checked in PhotoShop at 800% or so, and there is zero evidence of any logo removal. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:14, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Unfortunately I referenced an article that did not fit the guidelines. As I was reading the wiki guidelines and guide to editing pages our page was deleted.
It looked like the article had been deleted prior to me leaving the page, therefore I did not have a place to insert the "hold on" tag. I am the marketing coordinator for Ubermind, Inc. and would simply like to edit the page with the most current company information. I apologize for the original edit that caused the page to be deleted. Please repost it so I can edit it (correctly).

Hi, Lifebaka. You closed the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Azad Dam as 'no consensus'. However, if you look the discussion, you could see that consensus was built during the process and was supported by all except the creator of these stubs. I would really like to know what was the argument for 'no consensus' as consensus does not mean unanimity. Beagel ( talk) 23:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Does Wikipedia have a tag for A7, rather than just deleting? A tag would have led to content being added such as quote "In 1924, the Peeter Süda Memorial Foundation, the predecessor of the Estonian Theatre and Music Museum was set up. The collection of Peeter Süda (Estonian word 'süda' means 'heart' in English) is the “heart” of today’s Estonian Theatre and Music Museum." unquote Cheers.

Makes it easy to not only hide closed AFDs on a log but also makes it easy find AFDs that were not properly closed and fix them.

Why the haste? The issue is not settled. There is opinion, but there is no refutation using the force of reason. It is true that without anyone else giving a "second" to continue discussion, I am hesitant to respond. But the page at WP:DELREV has not been working correctly all day today, who knows what responses will yet arrive. There is a basic problem in that none of the responses reference guidelines. More, no one has espoused that the closing statement was done properly.
I can only guess that some responses have referenced WP:Deletion process. If so, this position needs to be presented properly, including the misunderstanding based in the ambiguity created here. Unscintillating ( talk) 00:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

"Save Old Man Murray" → If that doesn't describe Wikipedia's absolute monopoly over the rest of the Internet, nothing does. Wikipedia literally rules the world. – MuZemike 07:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
"Within Gaming, this kind of practice is somewhat commonplace: bloggers such as " Lum the Mad" and " Old Man Murray" are among the most respected commentators and journalists" Squire, K (2008) "Critical Education in an Interactive Age" in Mirror Images: Popular Culture and Education Peter Lang:New York [13]-- Cooper42 17:38, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Somebody should create an article on "Deletion of Old Man Murray." The event has warranted a lengthy article on rockpapershotgun, which made the slashdot frontpage, and one Blue's News, all of which are valid sources for gaming topics according to wikipedia's own list. As the event is notable and therefore deletion proof we could then make a section on Old Man Murray where we could gather all that unworthy stuff from Wired, PC Gamer and Gabe Whatshisname (what has he ever done for gaming?), as well as one on how the original article was nominated for deletion, twice, despite a clear COI. 188.174.70.221 ( talk) 19:20, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Hughes,
We have communicated via email and I wanted to follow-up on our discussion. In our last correspondence, you mentioned that you are willing to "userfy the article to a subpage", so that I can continue to work on the live copy, could I please have this done? Additionally, per your suggestion, I have reviewed the COI page and am willing to continue work on the "Totsy" page so that I am not in violation of Wikipedia rules.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry to bother you again, but now that you have set-up the subpage I am wondering how the article will become live again. Will it have to go through an inspection process again? Will I need to notify someone after I am done editing? Also, in your email to me, you mentioned that you did not delete the "Totsy" page because of the tone, but because it gave people "zero reason why they should care about Totsy." Although these pages are in your jurisdiction, I believe that this reason is somewhat arbitrary and therefore am having trouble proceeding with my article. Initially, I was trying to portray the importance of Totsy, but feared that it may seem self-promotional. You directed be towards the COI page and am unsure how I can accomplish explaining the importance of Totsy without violating any of the terms listed in the COI page. I am not saying that this isn't possible, I know it is as Wikipedia handles this on a daily basis, but I would love some guidance from someone who edits, reads, and is exposed to Wikipedia pages frequently. After looking over the article again, and looking over several other Wikipedis pages, I am hoping to understand why the "Totsy" page keeps being questioned.
Thank you in advance

Hi. You closed the Sergeant Hatred DRV at WP:Deletion review/Log/2011 March 22. A few hours after your close, I added a comment, which was quickly reverted by User:Dream Focus. I discussed the revert with Dream Focus at User talk:Dream Focus#Sergeant Hatred DRV, and he suggested that I ask you, as the closing admin.
My stance is that my comment adds value, especially the link to WT:Articles for deletion/Archive 61#RfC: Merge, redirect. That it was a few hours late could be overlooked in the spirit of WP:Ignore all rules. Would you allow my comment to stand at the DRV?

He's deleted all my inquiries without answering them, which is allowed but at this point very rude. Could you give them a bit more time off, or delete the attacks from Gharr's talk page or whatever?

Hi there. My name is Ryan and I am trying to clean up the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx page. I'll be honest with you, I am: 1) very, very new to Wikipedia, and am getting very overwhelmed at how long changes take and all of the rules that have to be followed to put a page together (my deadline is today), 2) am trying to add two images to a page, and that has to do with a file you deleted from Wikipedia Commons, and 3) I just need some HELP from someone who wants to help other people follow the guidelines on Wikipedia, but also finish the work they have to do. Having said that, I am trying to upload again the image you deleted, but this time correctly. I don't know whether the image is copyrighted, but I know that the owner has given me permission to use it, and I need to upload it and include it on his page. Additionally, I have been assigned the task of creating a page based on a collection of notable and verifiable significance called the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection. It has multiple references both in print and online. But I must finish the changes on the other page before creating the collection page. People on wikipedia have been very short and unhelpful to me so far, and it appears that the people that have been on here the longest have the experience, and also the power to just come in and change or delete what I've done without offering any real help to meet compliance.

Hi Lifebaka. You closed Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 May 10#Ideal wealth distribution but have not restored Talk:Ideal wealth distribution to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ideal wealth distribution. Cunard ( talk) 22:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey there :) Just wanted you to know that due to adequate citation and what appears to me mostly original writing, I contested that Tom Cruise Picture is truly CSD G12able and restored it. I don't think it should exist and it is mostly OR/SYNTH, but do want to allow the author to speak their mind since they seem very invested in the article. I've sent it to prod in the meantime, which I don't think it will survive. A complete AfD would also be suitable in my opinion. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hi Lifebaka. In your closing comments for the Abraham Reuel AfD you wrote:
However, Dougweller's point that Abraham's story might be notable is good, valid, and those favoring deletion come nowhere near refuting it. However, there is no discussion about whether the story is itself actually widely known or reported...
With respect, I find it very hard to understand these comments. First, and just as a trivial clarification, Dougweller didn't participate in the AfD; it was user Dweller I believe you were referring to.
More importantly, it's my impression that notability is a more of an objectively-defined standard than a matter of subjective impressions. That being so, I don't understand how Dweller's assertion, "Keep. Story is notable" without any supporting evidence forms a sufficient basis for your statement "his point that Abraham's story might be notable is good, valid". It might be notable? On what basis? On what evidence?
Also, I'm just very puzzled by your statement that the AfD included "no discussion about whether the story itself is actually widely known or reported". That's exactly what most of the discussion was about, as I read it. The principal basis for the AfD and most of its discussion was the lack of reliable source coverage of this story. I doubt any article that has been at AfD recently has been the subject of a more painstaking search for sources by so many people. I even initiated a search in German and Hebrew with the assistance of volunteers at the reference desk, and linked to that refdesk thread. Those searches turned up absolutely nothing, a fact which was disclosed more than once in the AfD thread.
As was also discussed at length at AfD, this article is based on exactly one reliable source that's relevant for notability purposes. But one such source does not meet the requirements of WP:BIO, WP:GNG, or WP:BLP1E, as I read those policies. With all possible respect, I'd like to ask you to please take some additional time to review the discussion, the article, and the article talk page, in terms of those policies, and revisit your decision in this matter.
It'd be fine if you'd like to reply here, as I've temporarily watchlisted this page. Many thanks, – OhioStandard ( talk) 13:20, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Just re-read your closing comment at AfD: Could you be saying that although the subject isn't notable, you think his claimed biography might be? That'd be an interesting suggestion, but if you're making it, I'd again have to ask what basis or evidence you have for thinking so, and to just observe that in searching for sources of notability for the subject, we all necessarily searched for the same re the biography, as well. – OhioStandard ( talk) 16:36, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for closing, but User:Dougweller hasn't commented on that AfD. Did you mean me? We're commonly confused with one another. -- Dweller ( talk) 13:21, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I saw that you declined my request for speedy deletion of File:Székely Gugel Túlbár logo.png and File:Szekely-gugel-march15.jpg. Simply, it`s nonsense because it`s not google and there isn`t any "Szekely" version of google. Nonetheless, I have put a new request under G11, which openly promotes an inexistent language/territory which is not made by google. Greetings. Adrian ( talk) 15:46, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey,
Could you explain your rationale here ("don't need to move one redirect over another one")? The page that's requested to be moved is not a redirect.
For what it's worth, I'm doing this to follow up for a user who originally sent the redirect to RfD here, which I closed since that's not the right venue to request what amounts to a pagemove. What he wants to do, obviously, is have the page currently located at Take Me To Your Leader located at the lower-case title Take me to your leader, which is the redirect in question. Thanks-- Glenfarclas ( talk) 03:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
It was me who originally requested the move. WP:CAPS says:
For page titles, always use lowercase after the first word, and do not capitalize second and subsequent words, unless the title is a proper noun.
The article is about a phrase used by aliens, and there is no evidence that the capitalisation of the title has ever been discussed previously. The redirect is blocking the proper renaming of the page, so needs to be deleted. Rwxrwxrwx ( talk) 09:00, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi LifeBaka. I must contest the deletion of this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeks . It describes a software used by many users, including a high trafic website, that of Ubuntu France. The search engine Seeks has a wikipedia page in French that was never contested. It's a very much discussed piece of free software (see refs and documents, there are even more, mailing lists, forums, IRC chan logs that are all public). Moreover, similar software Faroo and Yacy have similar pages. I can't see how the importance of decentralized search, and that of alternative Free software search engine, differ from Faroo and Yacy to Seeks. I've read A7 and I'm familiar with Wikipedia's rules. Again, I believe it does require more explanations here for deletion than just invoking A7. I'm not sure what are the steps to contest this deletion, but I'm willing to take them, and I'd be sincerely interested in your comments and directions for doing this. Thanks.

Thanks for reviving a copy of neovandalism. Am a new user and have no clear idea as to how to revive deleted pages or overcome such degree of resitance, nor do I have any intention to antagonize anybody. Your help will be very much appreciated. --To_Expand_Tolerance_ 20:34, 5 June 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burntout123 ( talk • contribs)
I appreciate that leaving it alone will stop that dispute, and that's fine. That however, will not change the fact that this was a symptom of the underlying problem. Incidentally, it's gone from accusing me of vandalism (which is still listed on the anon's user page) to accusing another editor of wikistalking [14] which doesn't exactly inspire a great deal of confidence...nor does the fact that contributors are needing to exhaust their time responding to the type of thing. In any event, I hope you will keep an eye out and appreciate the message several members of the Community were trying to express here - that is, even without my involvement, this will probably be resolved in one of two ways, but it is my hope that the proactive-intervention way will deal with it.

I posted a Wikipedia article about Development as a Service but it was flagged for advertising. I'm petitioning the article because it mentions several companies who provide the service, making it an unbiased article. The article has already been deleted, but I am going to post it again, hoping for your consideration.
Thanks.
I know that's not allowed, I know all about the edit history being a part of the page move, I just wasn't aware of which db tag to use. I'll use that for future cases. :) Quasy Boy 21:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mr Lifebaka,
I have placed the proposed text on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandeep999/TURF_Insight . Please take a look and comment on how to make it Wikipedia ready. I already can think of many things like Key attributes and Architecture as sections which could be interpreted as promotional. But since these are very valuable insights into the product itself, I thought I'd ask your opinion before I delete.
My request would be to please guide me to make this article publishable. I have tried to keep it way more neutral than any other such article like the Google Search Appliance page which talks of a similar product. Please do be patient and guide me through the process.
Thanks

Dear Mr.Lifebaka,
I cannot thank you enough for your help here. I have made all the changes as per your instruction. It would be great if you could take a quick look and give any more suggestions before I move the content to the main page.

Dear Mr Lifebaka,
Due to the points made by Tagishsimon which hints at a possible sabotage soon, I have changed the article to be based on the parent company. It is under : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sandeep999/Xurmo_Technologies . Please review it and comment on it soon. One of the points regarding the Language Modeling being linked to the Language Institute in CMU is because the head of the Language Institute Prof Jaime Carbonell is the advisor for xurmo as can be clearly seen on the Xurmo website as well. He is helping them with the language modeling part that the Language Institute describes as its research area. Please review again and comment. Thanks.

Quasi opinioned that "It wouldn't qualify as unambiguous advertising, I think it would have just about enough of a claim to significance to pass WP:A7#A7, but others might disagree. I don't think there are any other applicable criteria. " Would you also think that it would not qualify as one for "speedy deletion"?

Hello, In Fact we decided that the name "Commercial Location Development" we used in the beginning was not precise enough. We would like to replace it with : "Inter-municipal Land Use Planning". With the same basic content that we would like to update.
If you can change the name of the existing page, you're welcome to do it. If not please let me create a page with the new name: I created "Inter-municipal land use planning" that I redirected to "Commercial location development" is it the right way to do it ? - Or would prefer us to add a chapter on "Inter-municipal land use planning" in the page "Land Use Planning" ?
