You deleted Simplenote in January 2009 after a prod ended. I have managed to create a notable stub. I was wondering if you could put a copy of the deleted article on User:Joe Chill/Sandbox so that I can see what else I have to work with. Joe Chill ( talk) 23:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
The article Ogugu has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

There's not much point in
unlinking something in a See-Also section, leaving just a bulletpointed snippet of plain text. It may be better to delete it altogether. No?

Hello. This is Ian Baker. I'm a developer over at the Wikimedia Foundation.
tl;dr: We’re designing a much-improved UI for NPP tools, and we’re seeking guidance—and hopefully, screencasts of your NPP workflow—from expert New Page Patrollers like yourself. We’re asking for this so we can see (literally) what actions you take during patrolling which could be better supported through software.
I'm contacting you because, according to our statistics, you're a particularly active New Page Patroller on the English Wikipedia. Here at the WMF, we're working on a design for a much-improved NPP user interface. We hope that it will (as part of a larger strategy) address many outstanding issues in the article creation process, while also providing a more modern, streamlined and efficient UX for patrollers.
To do this successfully, we are relying upon the guidance of our most experienced patrollers. I'm sending this message to the ten most prolific patrollers in 2011, and a few other people who've been participating actively in this discussion.
Specifically, I'm hoping you can take a few minutes to record a screencast of yourself doing NPP. We're looking for a 10-15 minute session, but more is okay if you feel it's needed. Ideally, you'd first walk us through your process, explaining as you go, and then switch to doing NPP at your usual pace.
Our preliminary examination of this feature has shown that many experienced patrollers have evolved their own specially-tailored interface and workflow, often using external tools and plugins. Making an interface that works well will require understanding those tools and the motivation for using them. However, even if you haven't done that, observing your NPP technique will still be valuable, giving us insights into what factors inform your judgement, how you use the existing interface, and how long NPP generally takes an expert patroller such as yourself.
If you'd like to help, great! I've posted a set of instructions over at the relevant thread on the Article Creation Workflow talk page, which should get you everything you need to know. If something's missing or you have a question, post it there. That's also the place to go if you want to learn more about the reasoning behind this request.
I understand that people have differing expectations of privacy with regard to their own computer and voice. Therefore, you can either post this screencast publicly (place a link in the talk page above) or if you'd prefer, send it to me privately at ian@wikimedia.org.
Of course, any other input on this feature that you’d like to provide is also welcome. Don't hesitate to get involved in the discussion on the above-linked talk page, or contact me personally. I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks! raindrift ( talk) 00:20, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I am assuming that you will want to replace all of these links that you prematurely deleted. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 03:58, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I went to WP:The Musical at Lincoln Center had a discussion with the Wikipedians there about the criteria for notability of a performing artist. They said, the most obvious way to establish notability is with multiple reviews and mentions in a major newspaper, like the New York Times, or other well-known sources.
Then I went to a concert at the New School for Social Research, and sure enough, the pianist Jay Gottlieb wasn't in WP even though he had lots of reviews and mentions in the NYT, among other things.
I started to create a new page, then I saw
02:09, 24 September 2011 Malcolmxl5 (talk | contribs) deleted "Jay gottlieb" (G8: redirect to a deleted or nonexistent page (TW))
and a message to contact the deleting administrator first before creating a new page.
I couldn't find anything about it on your "My contributions" page or anywhere else.
Did you delete the a page for Jay Gottlieb, the musician? If so, where can I find the reasons documented? Is there any reason why Jay Gottlieb, the musician is not WP:NOTABLE, despite his multiple reviews in the NYT? -- Nbauman ( talk) 22:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Dear Malcolmxl5,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,

Hi Malcolm,
I was patrolling the new pages and I noticed that many of the pages had already been patrolled by you, but you forgot to mark them as patrolled. If you could go back through your history and do that that would be great! I have already done two of them for you that I came across.

Hello Malcomxl5 just to apologise about leaving the page 'community information systems' blank. I have now updated this with an overview on the topic and a couple of example links. Our content had been removed by an editor and redirected earlier in July. We do not understand why someone would do this, especially as the redirect is not correct. Hopefully its now resolved.

Not worth losing sleep, but just sometimes my impossible mysteries are obvious "no brainers" for you. So ... in case you know the answer, and please, here's a note I put on the Jensen page yesterday:
Does anyone know what this is, please? It has Jensen badges, albeit ones that are rather hard to read. Thank you in hopeful anticipation and best wishes Charles01 ( talk) 09:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Why would anyone who is looking for a bio on Henry Flagg French be "redirected" to his son, Daniel Chester French. I was in the middle of creating a page for Henry Flagg French when you reinstated the redirect. Again, I ask, why would anyone who is looking for information on Henry Flagg French who is a man large in history in his own right want to be redirected to his son's page. I would like to remove the "redirect" so that I can continue creating a page for Henry Flagg French. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mejkravitz ( talk • contribs) 22:02, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for further explanation. It is my understanding that a "redirct" is meant to take the "searcher" to the correct page. Such as "Daniel French" would redirect to "Daniel Chester French". But if I am searching for information on "Henry Flagg French" the redirect to "Daniel Chester French" prohibits me from finding any other page that mentions Henry Flagg French. He is mentioned in the article about the "French Drain" as he invented that drainage system. But when I type in Henry Flagg French into the search box I am immediately sent to Daniel Chester French's article to discover that he is Daniel's father. In this particular case the "redirect" of Henry Flagg French to Daniel Chester French is incorrect and restrictive.
I was in the middle of writing an article on Henry Flagg French on the redirect page when you reverted it back and I lost all my information. So frustrating. But okay that should be the worst thing that happens in my life.
I reiterate that the redirct in this case is restrictive and not in accordance with why redircts exist.
So what can we do about it?

There's almost no discussion of the two companies whose articles are also nominated there, most the comments are "redirect" (not "redirect all") without comment, and I think it's unlikely that separate discussions would have produced the same result - it isn't similar to any of the examples at WP:BUNDLE. Would it be appropriate to restore these articles and relist separately? Peter James ( talk) 22:53, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

You asked user:United2013 what their interest was in the amblenorthumberland site. They run it. They previously posted under the name user:amblenorthumberland. When user:amblenorthumberland was blocked, user:united2013 was created. There was a period of time after that when they posted just as the IP address user:86.184.222.22. When the IP address user:86.184.222.22 was blocked, user:united2013 took over again. The sum of their contribution to Wikipedia has been trying to get their website on the Amble page.
There have been arguments on the talk page, because when various editors decided to remove their link (which I did twice), they argued that The Ambler, the community newspaper, doesn't belong on the page either. This has spawned an argument and edit warring.
I write this here because they have accused me of being a 'trouble maker', said that my sole contribution to the article was to remove their link any time it was posted, and threatened me with legal action for saying they were lying when they said The Ambler was a business when it's actually a charity.-- Jcvamp ( talk) 09:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Stop creating trouble again Jcvamp - YOU have been one of the worst offenders of edit warring and creating arguments on here! I never said anything about your sole contribution being removing the link. I stand by my definition that the Ambler is a business (albeit a social enterprise) as it has an income and revenue stream. YOU are heavily involved with the Ambler so you're not quite the disinterested party you claim to be. The amblenorthumberland website is a legitimate source of important information about Amble - just as much as the Ambler is and has every right to be in the external links at least.

The title "Kwanju Massacre" does not match the main text body, which begins with "The Gwangju Democratization Uprising." Also, the official name for this event is 광주 민주화 운동, which directly translates to Kwangju Democratization Movement. The title Kwangju Massacre does not reflect the nature of this event and does not reflec the original name.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robin Young (British Civil Servant), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Department of Trade & Industry ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You deleted Simplenote in January 2009 after a prod ended. I have managed to create a notable stub. I was wondering if you could put a copy of the deleted article on User:Joe Chill/Sandbox so that I can see what else I have to work with. Joe Chill ( talk) 23:08, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
The article Ogugu has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach

Hello. This is Ian Baker. I'm a developer over at the Wikimedia Foundation.
tl;dr: We’re designing a much-improved UI for NPP tools, and we’re seeking guidance—and hopefully, screencasts of your NPP workflow—from expert New Page Patrollers like yourself. We’re asking for this so we can see (literally) what actions you take during patrolling which could be better supported through software.
I'm contacting you because, according to our statistics, you're a particularly active New Page Patroller on the English Wikipedia. Here at the WMF, we're working on a design for a much-improved NPP user interface. We hope that it will (as part of a larger strategy) address many outstanding issues in the article creation process, while also providing a more modern, streamlined and efficient UX for patrollers.
To do this successfully, we are relying upon the guidance of our most experienced patrollers. I'm sending this message to the ten most prolific patrollers in 2011, and a few other people who've been participating actively in this discussion.
Specifically, I'm hoping you can take a few minutes to record a screencast of yourself doing NPP. We're looking for a 10-15 minute session, but more is okay if you feel it's needed. Ideally, you'd first walk us through your process, explaining as you go, and then switch to doing NPP at your usual pace.
Our preliminary examination of this feature has shown that many experienced patrollers have evolved their own specially-tailored interface and workflow, often using external tools and plugins. Making an interface that works well will require understanding those tools and the motivation for using them. However, even if you haven't done that, observing your NPP technique will still be valuable, giving us insights into what factors inform your judgement, how you use the existing interface, and how long NPP generally takes an expert patroller such as yourself.
If you'd like to help, great! I've posted a set of instructions over at the relevant thread on the Article Creation Workflow talk page, which should get you everything you need to know. If something's missing or you have a question, post it there. That's also the place to go if you want to learn more about the reasoning behind this request.
I understand that people have differing expectations of privacy with regard to their own computer and voice. Therefore, you can either post this screencast publicly (place a link in the talk page above) or if you'd prefer, send it to me privately at ian@wikimedia.org.
Of course, any other input on this feature that you’d like to provide is also welcome. Don't hesitate to get involved in the discussion on the above-linked talk page, or contact me personally. I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks! raindrift ( talk) 00:20, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I am assuming that you will want to replace all of these links that you prematurely deleted. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 03:58, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I went to WP:The Musical at Lincoln Center had a discussion with the Wikipedians there about the criteria for notability of a performing artist. They said, the most obvious way to establish notability is with multiple reviews and mentions in a major newspaper, like the New York Times, or other well-known sources.
Then I went to a concert at the New School for Social Research, and sure enough, the pianist Jay Gottlieb wasn't in WP even though he had lots of reviews and mentions in the NYT, among other things.
I started to create a new page, then I saw
02:09, 24 September 2011 Malcolmxl5 (talk | contribs) deleted "Jay gottlieb" (G8: redirect to a deleted or nonexistent page (TW))
and a message to contact the deleting administrator first before creating a new page.
I couldn't find anything about it on your "My contributions" page or anywhere else.
Did you delete the a page for Jay Gottlieb, the musician? If so, where can I find the reasons documented? Is there any reason why Jay Gottlieb, the musician is not WP:NOTABLE, despite his multiple reviews in the NYT? -- Nbauman ( talk) 22:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Dear Malcolmxl5,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,

Hi Malcolm,
I was patrolling the new pages and I noticed that many of the pages had already been patrolled by you, but you forgot to mark them as patrolled. If you could go back through your history and do that that would be great! I have already done two of them for you that I came across.

Why would anyone who is looking for a bio on Henry Flagg French be "redirected" to his son, Daniel Chester French. I was in the middle of creating a page for Henry Flagg French when you reinstated the redirect. Again, I ask, why would anyone who is looking for information on Henry Flagg French who is a man large in history in his own right want to be redirected to his son's page. I would like to remove the "redirect" so that I can continue creating a page for Henry Flagg French. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mejkravitz ( talk • contribs) 22:02, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for further explanation. It is my understanding that a "redirct" is meant to take the "searcher" to the correct page. Such as "Daniel French" would redirect to "Daniel Chester French". But if I am searching for information on "Henry Flagg French" the redirect to "Daniel Chester French" prohibits me from finding any other page that mentions Henry Flagg French. He is mentioned in the article about the "French Drain" as he invented that drainage system. But when I type in Henry Flagg French into the search box I am immediately sent to Daniel Chester French's article to discover that he is Daniel's father. In this particular case the "redirect" of Henry Flagg French to Daniel Chester French is incorrect and restrictive.
I was in the middle of writing an article on Henry Flagg French on the redirect page when you reverted it back and I lost all my information. So frustrating. But okay that should be the worst thing that happens in my life.
I reiterate that the redirct in this case is restrictive and not in accordance with why redircts exist.
So what can we do about it?

There's almost no discussion of the two companies whose articles are also nominated there, most the comments are "redirect" (not "redirect all") without comment, and I think it's unlikely that separate discussions would have produced the same result - it isn't similar to any of the examples at WP:BUNDLE.

You asked user:United2013 what their interest was in the amblenorthumberland site. They run it. They previously posted under the name user:amblenorthumberland. When user:amblenorthumberland was blocked, user:united2013 was created. There was a period of time after that when they posted just as the IP address user:86.184.222.22. When the IP address user:86.184.222.22 was blocked, user:united2013 took over again. The sum of their contribution to Wikipedia has been trying to get their website on the Amble page.
There have been arguments on the talk page, because when various editors decided to remove their link (which I did twice), they argued that The Ambler, the community newspaper, doesn't belong on the page either. This has spawned an argument and edit warring.
I write this here because they have accused me of being a 'trouble maker', said that my sole contribution to the article was to remove their link any time it was posted, and threatened me with legal action for saying they were lying when they said The Ambler was a business when it's actually a charity.-- Jcvamp ( talk) 09:49, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Stop creating trouble again Jcvamp - YOU have been one of the worst offenders of edit warring and creating arguments on here! I never said anything about your sole contribution being removing the link. I stand by my definition that the Ambler is a business (albeit a social enterprise) as it has an income and revenue stream. YOU are heavily involved with the Ambler so you're not quite the disinterested party you claim to be. The amblenorthumberland website is a legitimate source of important information about Amble - just as much as the Ambler is and has every right to be in the external links at least. Please end this witch-hunt against us NOW! United2013 ( talk) 15:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry about this too - Jcvamp had absolutely no need to drag you into it United2013 ( talk) 20:08, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Your user name just made me laugh. Well done. — Hex (❝?!❞) 23:51, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for taking care of the move of the Remington Model 51 page. :-) -- Zackmann08 ( talk) 18:23, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a Move review of Range (mathematics). Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. Tobias Bergemann ( talk) 10:39, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm just like to ask how you came to your conclusion to close the AfD for Ruben Villareal as delete? I added a number of sources that I thought would make his pass WP:GNG despite being one fight short of passing WP:NMMA. Simply curious as to why you made that decision. Take care.

The title "Kwanju Massacre" does not match the main text body, which begins with "The Gwangju Democratization Uprising." Also, the official name for this event is 광주 민주화 운동, which directly translates to Kwangju Democratization Movement. The title Kwangju Massacre does not reflect the nature of this event and does not reflec the original name.
Also, may I request the search result that you used to supported the argument? Some have argued that a "massacre" occurred during "Kwangju Democratization Movement." I am afraid that your search result may have collected result of two different words. 174.141.139.181 ( talk) 06:55, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
With my search result, Gwangju Massacre is far less common than Gwangju Democratization Movement. result 1
I would like to know if we can talk about another move of this document to Gwangju Democratization Movement. 174.141.139.181 ( talk) 07:00, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robin Young (British Civil Servant), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Department of Trade & Industry ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

They should simply be changed to point to Jetix instead! Dogmaticeclectic ( talk) 21:32, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you deleted Cantankerous. I've just created a redirect there to MC Kinky, but I'd like to see what revisions were there before I added the redirect.-- Laun chba ller 15:44, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
