Hiya, remember that conversation we had about stub size articles being nominated for GA? Looks like someone's at it again at M-132 (Michigan highway), a 1.1K stub article containing (imho) zero reliable and independent sources. I mean Ann Arbor is a nice place to hang out, but still.... and I thought Snake Pass was a bit small for a GA at 8K. Rather than coming down like a ton of bricks, I thought I'd ask a friendly admin for advice first. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:50, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
But if BLP policy is all about strict adherance was required, the protection means the article plainly misrepresents sources (in addition to failing to adhere to core content policy). See for example first two citations in "personal life". Ncmvocalist ( talk) 17:41, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
As a completely uninvolved editor, I have looked through the article and sources and would like to nominate the page for deletion (or rather redirection to Airtel Super Singer Junior#Season 4). Can you let me know what would be the easiest way logistically to go about it given that the page is fully protected at the moment? Abecedare ( talk) 08:25, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! I was really impressed by the constructive and non-acrimonious tone and contributions from everyone involved in the recent AFD discussion on the Alliance of Women Directors article. What could have been—with the wrong editors involved—a very nasty debate, turned into a very positive discussion. Even editors who strongly felt that the article should be deleted worked hard to find sources and fix problems with it. This is the kind of positive collaboration people don't hear a lot about in Wikipedia-land and I'd like to recognize it. Carl Henderson ( talk) 19:52, 3 April 2015 (UTC) |
Hi. Hope you're well. You're one of the most level-headed users I've ever come across so I thought you'd be best to ask. I've recently come across a user who is very reticient to changing articles around a certain subject area because he's a superfan of the subject. I really don't want to get into a conflict. When I look at previous history of the pages concerned it is clear, it's not something new but something other users have experienced as well. Here's an example of an article I changed mainly as it had POV issues: [ [1]]. It was changed back to the user's preferred version. [ [2]]. According to BRD, I would open a talk page discussions but I fear he will not listen due to his subconscious bias as he has done when previous users have tried to change his "pet" articles. What would be the best course of action? Cowlibob ( talk) 18:11, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Please provide a valid reason for deleting the said page/subject. otherwise, please restore it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riot kiddo ( talk • contribs) 05:04, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
You've been mentioned at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Ban_required_for_Merinsan.27s_destructive_editing. I messed up the ping, so am manually alerting you. -- ThaddeusB ( talk) 16:17, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
Hey, is there anyway I can have a copy of the text that was on the page prior to deletion? I would like to make it a draft and submit it later, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ImRespawn ( talk • contribs) 03:33, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Nice work expanding the Huy Duc article, which you rescued from a speedy deletion nomination and improved to its present state. Keep up the good work! North America 1000 14:18, 11 April 2015 (UTC) |
Hi, Melanie! Hope you're well!
Not quite sure what's wrong with my fingers, but I uploaded File:Forte AGT audition.orgg.ogg. Can this be moved to simply File:Forte AGT audition.ogg? TIA. — ATinySliver/ ATalkPage 05:42, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
You are likely already aware of this group, I just discovered it so I thought I would share. The event happened earlier today Wikipedia:Meetup/San Diego/April 2015 but looking forward to next event. @Rob talk 21:57, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello,MelanieN.I'm from wiki in french and I'm not very good in English.Can you correct an error on Jordan Spieth. In "2015" ,it's written : On April 12,Speith.... Can you inverse the e and i please.This page is semi-protected and I have no contributions in wiki english.I'm from Montreal,Canada.Thank you very much.-- Danielvis08 ( talk) 01:29, 13 April 2015 (UTC) You can forget it,someone corrected it at 01:31, 2 minutes after my message.Thanks.-- Danielvis08 ( talk) 01:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, MelanieN,
Apropos speedy deletion A7 of my article Lev Goldentouch, I think notability applies as the person is a published author with multiple independent reviews. The person is [also] known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique. I would like the article restored as there are many more articles of people with significantly lower credibility and it just feels like my article is being targeted unfairly due to biases some lower level editors have against some of the theories/field of work that the person in question is associated with. Please help! Suraj Sharma ( talk) 05:00, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
I've completed substantial research and revisions to the Anya Camilleri article, and would appreciate it greatly, if you could review and comment. Thanks. Carl Henderson ( talk) 19:48, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Is the protection supposed to be three months or indefinite? -- George Ho ( talk) 02:45, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
Please understand a context at Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton where inferences have been made of my "gaming", of me not being "helpful to process" and that I have not previously "agreed that the policies need to be read together". Now, in a thread with a heading where I only use the name Rodham, in a context where everywhere else I have seen HRC referred to as Clinton and when I have also made sympathetic edits like this, you then comment on my reference to "(Rodham) Clinton" in terms of a snide remark. Please, I really think that there has been enough drama on the page. I know that editors will generally find your instructive inputs of great help but please, there was nothing snide in my input. Unlike, I think many editors on the page, I am not contributing in a partisan way and the whole thread input was to try to develop guidelines based coherence in both sides of the argument so as to allow arguments, such as those of RGlouster (an editor with whom I have been in increasing conflict of late), to potentially have a rational platform.
Please consider reviewing your edit to keep the valued informative content but without the sharp edge. Greg Kaye 05:57, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
On 16 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Huy Duc, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Huy Duc. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hi MelanieN! It's very good to be talking with you again. Hopefully I am not bothering you... I have been inspired to write an opinion essay for Wikipedia's featured newspaper column, The Signpost. This essay will be discussing primarily about the role of unregistered users (IPs) on Wikipedia, the facts and the opinions about the controversial internet users, and why IP addresses are harassed and/or judged differently than registered users. It will also discuss why not all IP addresses are here to vandalize Wikipedia, why they actually do play an important role on Wikipedia, and why they don't register as an official user. I want opinions from different perspectives, including Administrators, Rollbackers, Pending-Chaneges reviewers, Autoconfirmed users, and IP addresses themselves. I want to know what's the big deal about these mysterious internet users, and you are a perfect Administrator to express your opinion why IP addresses may not register, the harassment IP addresses may get from other users, and why IP addresses may play a good role on Wikipedia. I want to write a lot about your expense as an Administrator dealing with IP addresses and vandalism in my essay, and I really do hope you take apart in this essay, which may have a drastic change of viewpoints for all registered and unregistered users on Wikipedia. I look forward to discussing this important opportunity soon. Cheers. CookieMonster755 (talk) 03:25, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Melanie, I didn't realize (or figure out) that you're from SD. I lived in Carlsbad from 1987-2001; fond memories. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 04:37, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
A request to my beloved talk page stalkers: I am about to take a two-week Wikibreak. I will have very little computer access during that time, and no access at all to the mop. So if anyone posts here and needs a reply, or some kind of action, please handle it for me, OK? Thanks much! -- MelanieN ( talk) 23:45, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
