Thanks for deleting Carl Farmer, created by User:Alex+levi. I've nominated the two images he uploaded for use in that attack article, Image:Carl 2.jpg and Image:Carl.jpg, for speedy deletion as in the past I've seen an admin speedily deleting images that had been uploaded and used purely for vandalism. Care to take a look and see whether you agree with my tagging? Regards, Bencherlite Talk 01:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi. As a long standing member of the Hackney community I am deeply distressed to find out this evening that the entire articles on Ridley Road Market and Chatsworth Road Markets have been deleted. I spent hours on these. Perhaps a note at the top of the page with alteration advice might have been more appropriate rather than total demolition and a smug little "please feel free to make further comtributions". I'm finding it rather difficult not to be angry with you. The market is a vital part of my community and information was taken from various sources, how can I plaigarise facts on when its open and what it sells. I would appreciate uyour comments on your destruction of my labours and i want them back so i can redraft them. Don't mess with people in this way, you're exploiting your position of power. I've good reason to be angry at you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drfinn ( talk • contribs) 23 October 2007
Re: your comments at User_talk:Geo_Swan#Deletion_review.2FContent_review, thanks. You deserve a barnstar. Now, if I can find one in my bag.... :-) Bearian 17:54, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:TheBlantonWebsterBand.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
Parser (CGI language) was prodded and deleted. I wrote it, but i somehow missed the prodding and didn't get a chance to contest.
The prodder agreed to undeletion: User talk:Quuxplusone#Parser (CGI language).
I am an admin myself, but to avoid any possible conflicts of interest i ask you to undelete it.
Thanks in advance. -- Amir E. Aharoni 07:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

any conclusions on this moonriddengirl? i wrote an appeal.....and added a hangon attribute to the page. the project is strictly involved in a photodocumentary of nyc subways and its people. nyc subways are is pretty viable source/hefty subject....i believe it even makes reference to Bruce davidson (photographer) who explored the project back in the 80's. anyway, please help. it's notable.

Can you explain your reason for deleting the page as you've set the chain reaction for others to delete the other pages changes and it took me a time to trace various user/admins so now there are up to 3 people involved in deletion of one simple article describing a soft drink. How about instead of deleting you actually improve article/s. If you are not familiar with the drink its still does not justify the action. Stonufka 12:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the speedy reply , I have included several external links to the article. I would also like to point to the list of soft drinks on Wikipedia List_of_soft_drinks_by_country where the drink is mentioned. I'm curious, what makes a soft drink brand notable? World wide sales or marketing perhaps? I did not include manufacturer as that is in my view irrelevant and considering that originally the Vinea article pointed to a fictional space object I concluded that it would only be right to correct it and include what is in my view notable product.BTW its lovely drink I miss it greatly in my part of the world.

Hello, regarding your decline of my speedy delete nomination, I'd like to point out that this is just an album that can't go further of a track listing and an infobox. If you go to the artist's page you would see it's a redirect to this album. That's an article with little or no content. I suggest you to reconsider your decision. Thank you.-- Tasc0 02:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC) <removing unrelated message to a new section>

With regards to the 10th Earl of Jersey, the request concerns the removal of his daughter's details from the site.
The reason that most of the detail was removed is that a large part of the details, although readily available elsewhere, are extremely accessible via the internet and are details that some institutions use for access thereby just a precautionary measure but I freely admit there isn't any other defence of this removal.
I don't want to be setting a "precedent" either but there needs to be a balance between the eagerness in the sharing of information and a responsibility to respect living subjects wishes, particularly with regard to potentially sensitive information (e.g. with regard to children).

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Moonriddengirl! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule groups\.msn\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey, sorry it took so long, but thanks a bunch for my editor review! I had forgotten all about it, but I finally remembered that I had submitted one. After a bit of backtracing, I found you had reviewed me. Thanks so much! On a few of your comments: Yes, I did know that editor who vandalised The Quarry Lane School page. They had edited from home, but had discussed adding that at school the day before. The "biting" comment on the unicode page was kinda mean, too. You're right, I didn't mean it to be biting, it is hard to convey meaning in words. Yeah, you are correct, I do need to add sources to the school's site. I hoped to do that two months ago, but I got caught up in school work. I plan to do it soon. I believe that since then I have removed much of the unsourced criticism, but I haven't looked in ages. This is the first time I've really been able to have some free time here in a while. Do you really think that joining a wikiproject would be helpful? I generally find it a pain to write... simple reverts are more my thing. Any projects on that that you could recommend? Once again, thank you so much, sorry it took so long to get back to you. Hope to see you around WP! - ђαίгснгм таιќ 20:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Moonriddengirl
I am confused, if you type 'International Tax Solutions' into the search bar of www.answers.com you will come across a page that is attributed to Wikipedia. My entry was based on this page and also took its format including the external link. I would like to edit this page, updating it with more relevent info and with no advertising content. I would be grateful if you could advise me if this is possible.

Hi Moonridden girl,
you recently deleted an article of mine on consumerpowerlines. i have no real problem but would like your thoughts so i can improve my contributions in the future. so a question...
Was the article deleted because it seemed like an advertisement or because there was not enough info or something else?
I added it not as an advertisement but because i was researching the company and found no wikipedia article. i was hopping to go back later and add more info. the company is growing quickly and i think it deserves a wiki article.
thanks, -c —Preceding

HI. I'm trying to resolve some issues among editors at a volatile and protected page using a "sandbox" page. This was nominated for speedy by the new user mentioned above, and then I've been nitted for removing his tag, which was now replaced. Can you evaluate the speedy at Race and intelligence/backgound.

I'm not clear on why you deleted my page "Southside Theatre Guild." The reason given is that it lacks significance, and I don't understand how you have authority over whether my subject has significance.

Hi - I saw the edits you made to the Thornton Tomasetti page and wanted to know if how it's worded now meets your criteria. I don't want the page deleted and I'm not sure who has been posting the more fluffy descriptions which you edited. Regardless, I am fine with your edits and understand why you did them, I just wanted to be sure the page is ok now and not queued up to be deleted.

Hi.
We are starting to make progress on Race and Intellegence but the protection expired this moring and already an IP has added significant undiscussed text to an article we are trying to drastically trim. Can you revert to the prior protected version and reinstate protection. Ironically I had just sent an email to Guy, but as he is in Britian it is not likely that he will be able to respond beofre all hell breaks loose here.

Editor User:Gustav von Humpelschmumpel did not follow proper procedure when nominating Nndb for deletion. He/She added the entry to the template but did not file an entry in the proper TfD page for discussion. This entry is now dated 29 October 2007 more than enough time to properly follow procedure per WP:TFD. Attempts have been made by other editors to remove the tag and it has been reverted, claiming it is 'inappropriate to remove a TfD while in discussion', yet there isn't an article for dicussion. In this case it appropriate to remove the tag from the template and consider it AGF or Vandalism? I ask because I noticed someone has their AWB set to delete entries from articles based on this bogus or improperly filed TfD tag.

Hi, I just created the page Tim Dunlap bio, and you deleted it due to a copyright violation. I had the author on the IMDb that wrote the article email wikipedia stating that it can be used.

Thank you for taking an interest in this article, and thank you also for policing its precise deletion status. As a beginner on Wikipedia I have noted the concern with the article's notability and attempted to address it - I hope successfully. If you feel it needs more work to merit its inclusion, please let me know via my talk page and I will respond accordingly. I'd like to note that my stimulus to write the article and my model in drafting it came from a refererence to the magazine in an article on Cantab, which appears very similar in content and justification and has raised no notability problems. If Cantab is ok, should not the newly redrafted Energy Matters now be too? -- Andrew Bud 02:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Please place the full text that was deleted again in my sandbox. I'm not sure why this is such a huge deal regarding a company that did exist and no longer does exist. The link and page are to show locations (city, state) of where the company held business to show during the 1855 and 1875 time period and where it was located. The company was located in Philly, Boston, and NY, NY. The founder traveled where there was business for bridge building of his design type. I'm no sure why this article is not notable, please explain or edit accordingly but why am I not even given 24 hr time frame to correct. I'm still gathering details but this page is all I have found in researching the company and its "note-ablity". Isn't that why the wiki pages give anyone the ability to edit pages that someone created first. To add more "note-ability" I corresponding with the great great grandson of the founder of the company and he has provided notable references, sketches, professional drawings, and documents that the company is note-able of that time period. Not sure why if your read Thomas William Moseley or Hares Hill Road Bridge this page is re-deleted for speedy deletion. Please explain what exactly needs corrected. Thanks.

I'm trying to find my page. I saw you that you deleted while another moderator stated he didn't see any problem with the page. As for why the tag was changed, the instructions clearly stated that if I was contesting the deletion, to post a new tag. I followed instructions.
My question now is, how is is that another game of the same genre is allowed to stay in wikipedia while mine is not? I've listed on the talk page the links and wikipedia pages I'm refering to but no answer was given. Zodiac01 16:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I just read the guidelines on reliable source. "1) the piece of work that is being cited, 2) the creator of the work (the author or artist), and 3) the publisher or location where it is to be found (a website, book, album or painting)."
The references listed all the sites related to the work:
I'd like to have the page accessible so that I can modify it to reflect the style of the [Star Trek Simulation Forum|Star Trek Simulation Forum] since they've somehow convince you to allow their page to stay even though they are the same thing. Zodiac01 17:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Should I tag articles like Nathan Southern for sd? I found similar articles Gyorgy Kiss, Paul Donnelly (defender) created by same user. Wondering what to do with them. And this article Emily's Pub also confused me. Which one to tag for sd and which one to tag for unreferenced? How much time we should give for article like A&W Root Beer which was created on 25 sept 2004 to provide reliable references? Thanks. 19 17:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
By this rational I got more hits than you for 'Nathan Southern'. It is horrifying to search how many results pertains to this 'Nathan Southern'. You may suggest to use different keywords. I did it today with Nelson (singer) and it wasted my one hour. Keywords like 'singer nelson bronx new york' were leading me to some insurance broker.
If burden of reliable sources is diverted to new page patrollers and admin, then... what can I say. Thanks. 19 18:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey whats up Moonriddengirl, its PaidInFull1987. You recently deleted my flubber page and im not here to scold you, you were right for deleting it, it was silly vandalism, I was just being silly. I was just wondering if you could send me the paragraph that I wrote because it does hold some personal value to me. Don't worry, im not going to attempt to put the Flubber page back up and vandalize again, I just got a kick out of it and I want to get that paragraph back so I can e-mail it to my friend, who would definately get a laugh out of it.

Dear Moonriddengirl,
You had written to me ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fdacosta) : Dear Fdacosta, regarding your contribution to History of wireless mesh networking, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites, or from printed material, without the express permission of the author or copyright holder. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from this URL: http://www.meshdynamics.com/third_generation.html. As a copyright violation, the article has been deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.
I am Francis daCosta, the founder and CTO of Meshdynamics. I am also the author of the deleted article on Wiki- Generations_of_mesh_networks. And I am also the author of what appears on [3].
And I am the author of both pictures, the one on my company website and the one I contributed to Wiki and released all ownership rights to.
I had contributed the article to Wiki because the generations of mesh networking products is a general topic and deserves a fair hearing. There is far too much hype around mesh networking and very little factual information on mesh networking architectures. The world needs to understand the evolution of mesh networks, else people have the wrong impression of mesh, perpetrated by the powers that control hype.
I will wait to hear from you before I consider re-posting the article.
Regardless of your decision, thank you for your efforts in keeping Wiki clean. I have tremendous respect for the neutral stand Wiki takes and am grateful for the contributions made by you and so many others like you to avoid it being overrun by commercial interests.

Regarding the William Mcguinea article, try a search on the book titles or other things mentioned in the article, instead of the name and it will become clear most of the content of the article is accurate, but it is the name "William Mcguinea" that is the hoax. If a hoax article isn't a reason for speedy deletion there is probably some other criteria this could be speedy deleted under because the article has every indication that it was created with harassment of a Wikpedia user in mind. The person on Wikipedia who can probably best explain further is User:Will Beback. I'll let you and him take it from here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.132.16 ( talk) 00:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I have done a first draft on History_of_wireless_mesh_networking and uploaded some new pictures that are also released under GFDL. I hope I have done everything correctly. I also noted (at the end of the content page that all the content is available for distribution.

I'm looking for someone who's totally uninvolved, is used to dealing with flamewars and is willing to wade through content disputes on articles about railway lines, and am racking my brains trying to think of someone. The obvious candidate, Giano (don't laugh - this is the kind of situation he shines in) has rather a lot on his plate right now. Any ideas?

1. Thank you, I have added the release notices to the discussion page of of History of mesh networking.
2. I was trying to redirect the Generation of mesh networks page to History of Mesh networking but not sure how to do this. I was putting in an note under Generation of mesh networks but it was deleted. So evidently that is not the way to be doing this. I am new at this so please forgive me.
3. On a separate topic, I am the Founder and CTO of Meshdynamics, a wireless mesh networking company. I have taken pains to respect and comply with all WIKI rules and guidelines. If we dont respect these rules where would WIKI be? I am offering my free time (not a lot of it) to help with mesh networking pages that frankly need much work. I attempted to fix one (Wireless_mesh_network) but someone decided it did not need fixing. It did. The information is currently either inaccurate or blatantly commercial and makes the mesh networking industry seem sleazy. I may be reached at 408-373-7700 if someone would like to chat with me about helping clean Wireless_mesh_network and other pages.

Good Day,
I was looking for the Transpromotional entry today, and I noticed it was removed. It's really not a neologism, because it's something that wasn't accessible to people in the past. This is a place where business strategy, new high speed printing technology and software come together to improve communications to customers.
There were citations to InfoTrends, which is an independent agency that reports about statistics in this area. There have been over 500 articles in related print magazines about the topic. Industry websites, such as outputlinks.com and xplor.org have resources on the topic. A list of leading industry providers was included, with links to their websites.
Please reconsider the deletion, because this document communication strategy uses technology to do something that wasn't feasible (it has always been possible) in the past. Draegermeister ( talk) 16:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
but, this is not a very liable source for information anyway. Especially when anyone can go and edit anything. For instance, a friend of mine (yes, some people actually have them) went to a random page and typed the word "poo" everyother word. So, this isn't the most reliable website which is why we could not use it for information on a project. :)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billiamrocksforlizzife ( talk • contribs) 00:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Moonriddengirl. I thank you for the enlightening review you gave me recently. I had almost forgotten about it. I'm sorry for this outrageously late reply, I've been rather busy as of late. Just for your information, I do watch discussions that I participate in, although not for long, as I move on to another one very quickly. And to clarify matters, when I said I am fond of heated discussions, I literally meant active and...how should I put it? A discussion that is participated by many and contains logical, well-reasoned and passionate arguments. Well, I hope that answers some of your questions! (About this AFD, I'm afraid I cannot give an answer; I myself am baffled by why I said that. Perhaps I was confused at that time). I will continue to work on my article contributions, and hopefully, the next time I ask for a third review, they will show far more positive figures.

Hi, thanks for responding to [4] this speedy deletion request; but now I'm rather confused! I've been doing new page patrol and have found quite a number of articles that are copies of other web pages. Some are just copies; others state that they have copyright permission but don't seem to have fulfilled the requirements of Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission e.g. emailing formal permission to Wikimedia. I need to know: once I find an apparent copyright problem, what should I do? Could you explain what is the difference between a "blatant" copyright violation and some other situation where the page is a copy of some web page? E.g. what is it about the Frees Hall case that made you not classify it as "blatant"? Also, when I put a db-copyvio tag on, am I supposed to watch the page so that if you take the speedy tag off, I can follow up with some other action? I thought the admin taking the speedy tag off was supposed to put the page into whatever other process would be appropriate -- is that not how it works? In the past few days I put {{copyvio}} (i.e. not the speedy kind) on a few pages, then saw an instruction somewhere that led me to believe I ought to have speedied most of them. Would it be OK if I just put {{copyvio}} on whenever I think there is or might be a problem, or is there some way to tell which ones should be speedied? Sorry if this is too many questions. Thanks for any instructions you can give (or for directing me to whoever knows about this stuff). -- Coppertwig 19:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello "Moonrider",
I understand the policy, but I know it can be overridden in some cases. Yes, I'm registering with Wikipedia to try and get more exposure for my new website UClaim.com.
But consider this with your management: there are thousands of people right now who have either been burned or flooded out of their homes. They have insurance, but the policies were lost in the disaster. They can't get them from their insurance companies or anywhere on the internet. What the insurance company does is say we will mail you one, but it does not come for 6 months, long after they got screwed on their claim.
Do you know I sent a couple of press releases to the San Diego Union Tribune offering the free policies for their readers and they said "we are too busy with charities". I would be glad to send you a copy of their email response and my press releases.
If you and your superisors don't want to help your fellow man in distress, then remember this when you become a disaster victim someday.

Please help educate me. What is the purpose of having Template:cite web if the text is not a quote? Should it be an edited version? The source was the Canadian government "posted with the intent that it be readily available for personal and public non-commercial use and may be reproduced, in part or in whole, and by any means, without charge or further permission": here. The Canadian Race Relations Foundation is an organization that is worthy of mention in Wikipedia and this was only small portion of the information entered.

Hi MRG, thanks for being civil in your explanation. Another sysop was not, and I appreciate the effort. I have some questions about your message that I hope will help me learn Wikipedia better.
I added a statement under "Aftermath" in the Megan Meier suicide controversy. I discovered the case and found that a blog had been created called Megan Had It Coming, detailing information about the case and eventually stating that it had been authored by Lori Drew, a party to the controversy, to present an alternative to the current media narrative.
I see in the link to sources that you provided that self-published material has many criteria to be included, and I wonder where this blog falls short. I see a clear case of the self-published material as relevant, not unduly self-serving, not unrelated to the subject, and not based on other uncited sources.
If the problem with the blog is due to being contentious OR involving third parties (although the piece is mostly about the author's relation to other parties), OR continued reasonable doubt as to authorship, what constitutes satisfaction of those claims under the Wikipedia guidline of "verifiability, not truth?" If the blog is genuine in all other respects and still contentious would it be removed on those grounds? Would that standard similarly apply to any self-published material that references a third party?
I ask because truth is a defense to libel, and if Drew's authorship of the blog is genuine then using it to quote her (as seems to have been her intention due to heavy suspicion of broadcast media) is defensible.
So, if I were to contribute to Wikipedia in the future (considering we can agree that proper participation is the goal of an open source encyclopedia), what do I need to know about verifiability in Wikipedia's standards? Must information be more likely verifiable (or true) than not, as in tortious cases (such as libel), or must it be proven at or near 100% certainty (which is nearly impossible about any account of history or current events not reported through multiple, independent, first-person sources without the means or motive to corroborate)? I ask especially because more-likely-true-than-not is a standard often used in the newspaper business (with qualifiers), and printing a story (especially reporting someone's words) does not verify information in any sustained way other than the negative proof of a lack of a libel lawsuit.

I saw that you re-deleted Wolfen (Star Fox series). I thought it was an appropriate article, as we have one about the Arwing, used by the "good guys". I know the Wolfen are not nearly as prominent as their good counterparts, but should they have their own article, or at least mention on either the Arwing page or the Star Fox series page?

Thanks for the info, I had already dived in to create an entry for Mayor Cohen.
Don't know him personally (although I once met him years ago) but did live in St Paul during his administration. Did not provide a developed bio just enough to identify him as one of the St Paul mayors and distinguish him from the screenwriter.
As to "idiots", Mad Magazine always prided itself as being published by the "usual gang of idiots" so it may well be understood to be an accolade for creative minds.

Hello Moonriddengirl. How are you? I have completed the missing biographies of all the governors of Maine. I have also created the missing biographies of the governors of Connecticut.

You have deleted my start up page for the WMMW project.
I work for Staffordshire University and we own the domain and copyright for the wmmw.org domain and are fully entitled to use any and all information about the project as we see fit
We thought it would be useful to have the project on Wikipedia

Hi. I've nominated The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created.2Fexpanded on December 13, where you can improve it if you see fit. – Black Falcon ( Talk) 21:49, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I believe that "speedy deletion" is appropriate for things that are clearly vandalism or advertisements. I think it would have been more appropriate to tag the article with standard notability template, and give the author more than a few hours to complete the article. For the record, Zanzoona's channeler has a book out, is a frequent contributor to the local paper, and runs a multi-million dollar "church." I believe she has also appeared on local radio shows. She also appears to be a remarkable scam artist and my understanding is that she has been investigated by the local police in connection with this.
None of this may rise to the standard of notability, but speedy deletion is simply a knee-jerk reaction. Imagine my surprise when I logged on just 10 hours later to flesh out the stub I'd created and found the article gone. Kind of disheartening.
And yes, this is a single use username created to keep my commentary of this controversial person separated from my usual contributions. Zanzoonoid ( talk) 08:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on my editor review. Just to let you know, I usually archive my talk page by removing any comment from my page at my leisure (I was inspired by Glen's explanation on Figaro's talk page at User talk:Figaro#Answer). If every single comment was left on my talk page, it would be too lengthly to go and search the topics. As for the part about the uncivil and rude statements, I apologize for my actions. Once again, thank you for reviewing me and please accept my apologies. I appreciate your review very much. All the best, Greg Jones II 00:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. As a long standing member of the Hackney community I am deeply distressed to find out this evening that the entire articles on Ridley Road Market and Chatsworth Road Markets have been deleted. I spent hours on these. Perhaps a note at the top of the page with alteration advice might have been more appropriate rather than total demolition and a smug little "please feel free to make further comtributions". I'm finding it rather difficult not to be angry with you. The market is a vital part of my community and information was taken from various sources, how can I plaigarise facts on when its open and what it sells. I would appreciate uyour comments on your destruction of my labours and i want them back so i can redraft them. Don't mess with people in this way, you're exploiting your position of power.

Thanks for uploading Image:TheBlantonWebsterBand.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:37, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Can you explain your reason for deleting the page as you've set the chain reaction for others to delete the other pages changes and it took me a time to trace various user/admins so now there are up to 3 people involved in deletion of one simple article describing a soft drink. How about instead of deleting you actually improve article/s. If you are not familiar with the drink its still does not justify the action. Stonufka 12:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the speedy reply , I have included several external links to the article. I would also like to point to the list of soft drinks on Wikipedia List_of_soft_drinks_by_country where the drink is mentioned. I'm curious, what makes a soft drink brand notable? World wide sales or marketing perhaps? I did not include manufacturer as that is in my view irrelevant and considering that originally the Vinea article pointed to a fictional space object I concluded that it would only be right to correct it and include what is in my view notable product.BTW its lovely drink I miss it greatly in my part of the world.

With regards to the 10th Earl of Jersey, the request concerns the removal of his daughter's details from the site.
The reason that most of the detail was removed is that a large part of the details, although readily available elsewhere, are extremely accessible via the internet and are details that some institutions use for access thereby just a precautionary measure but I freely admit there isn't any other defence of this removal.
I don't want to be setting a "precedent" either but there needs to be a balance between the eagerness in the sharing of information and a responsibility to respect living subjects wishes, particularly with regard to potentially sensitive information (e.g. with regard to children).

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey, sorry it took so long, but thanks a bunch for my editor review! I had forgotten all about it, but I finally remembered that I had submitted one. After a bit of backtracing, I found you had reviewed me. Thanks so much! On a few of your comments: Yes, I did know that editor who vandalised The Quarry Lane School page. They had edited from home, but had discussed adding that at school the day before. The "biting" comment on the unicode page was kinda mean, too. You're right, I didn't mean it to be biting, it is hard to convey meaning in words. Yeah, you are correct, I do need to add sources to the school's site. I hoped to do that two months ago, but I got caught up in school work. I plan to do it soon. I believe that since then I have removed much of the unsourced criticism, but I haven't looked in ages. This is the first time I've really been able to have some free time here in a while. Do you really think that joining a wikiproject would be helpful? I generally find it a pain to write... simple reverts are more my thing. Any projects on that that you could recommend? Once again, thank you so much, sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Hi Moonriddengirl
I am confused, if you type 'International Tax Solutions' into the search bar of www.answers.com you will come across a page that is attributed to Wikipedia. My entry was based on this page and also took its format including the external link. I would like to edit this page, updating it with more relevent info and with no advertising content. I would be grateful if you could advise me if this is possible.

Hi Moonridden girl,
you recently deleted an article of mine on consumerpowerlines. i have no real problem but would like your thoughts so i can improve my contributions in the future. so a question...
Was the article deleted because it seemed like an advertisement or because there was not enough info or something else?
I added it not as an advertisement but because i was researching the company and found no wikipedia article. i was hopping to go back later and add more info. the company is growing quickly and i think it deserves a wiki article.

Editor User:Gustav von Humpelschmumpel did not follow proper procedure when nominating Nndb for deletion. He/She added the entry to the template but did not file an entry in the proper TfD page for discussion. This entry is now dated 29 October 2007 more than enough time to properly follow procedure per WP:TFD. Attempts have been made by other editors to remove the tag and it has been reverted, claiming it is 'inappropriate to remove a TfD while in discussion', yet there isn't an article for dicussion. In this case it appropriate to remove the tag from the template and consider it AGF or Vandalism? I ask because I noticed someone has their AWB set to delete entries from articles based on this bogus or improperly filed TfD tag.

Thank you for taking an interest in this article, and thank you also for policing its precise deletion status.

If you feel it needs more work to merit its inclusion, please let me know via my talk page and I will respond accordingly. I'd like to note that my stimulus to write the article and my model in drafting it came from a refererence to the magazine in an article on Cantab, which appears very similar in content and justification and has raised no notability problems. If Cantab is ok, should not the newly redrafted Energy Matters now be too? -- Andrew Bud 02:32, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Please place the full text that was deleted again in my sandbox. I'm not sure why this is such a huge deal regarding a company that did exist and no longer does exist. The link and page are to show locations (city, state) of where the company held business to show during the 1855 and 1875 time period and where it was located. The company was located in Philly, Boston, and NY, NY. The founder traveled where there was business for bridge building of his design type. I'm no sure why this article is not notable, please explain or edit accordingly but why am I not even given 24 hr time frame to correct. I'm still gathering details but this page is all I have found in researching the company and its "note-ablity". Isn't that why the wiki pages give anyone the ability to edit pages that someone created first. To add more "note-ability" I corresponding with the great great grandson of the founder of the company and he has provided notable references, sketches, professional drawings, and documents that the company is note-able of that time period.

Thanks you, I was not advertizing the Company in any way its an old company from the late 1800s that is not being promoted since it no longer exists but I was trying to incorporated it into the other links as a good way to find company related details and historical drawings & "artifacts"

I'm trying to find my page. I saw you that you deleted while another moderator stated he didn't see any problem with the page. As for why the tag was changed, the instructions clearly stated that if I was contesting the deletion, to post a new tag. I followed instructions.
My question now is, how is is that another game of the same genre is allowed to stay in wikipedia while mine is not? I've listed on the talk page the links and wikipedia pages I'm refering to but no answer was given. Zodiac01 16:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I just read the guidelines on reliable source. "1) the piece of work that is being cited, 2) the creator of the work (the author or artist), and 3) the publisher or location where it is to be found (a website, book, album or painting)."
The references listed all the sites related to the work:
I'd like to have the page accessible so that I can modify it to reflect the style of the [Star Trek Simulation Forum|Star Trek Simulation Forum] since they've somehow convince you to allow their page to stay even though they are the same thing. Zodiac01 17:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Should I tag articles like Nathan Southern for sd? I found similar articles Gyorgy Kiss, Paul Donnelly (defender) created by same user. Wondering what to do with them. And this article Emily's Pub also confused me. Which one to tag for sd and which one to tag for unreferenced? How much time we should give for article like A&W Root Beer which was created on 25 sept 2004 to provide reliable references? Thanks. 19 17:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
By this rational I got more hits than you for 'Nathan Southern'. It is horrifying to search how many results pertains to this 'Nathan Southern'. You may suggest to use different keywords. I did it today with Nelson (singer) and it wasted my one hour. Keywords like 'singer nelson bronx new york' were leading me to some insurance broker.
If burden of reliable sources is diverted to new page patrollers and admin, then... what can I say. Thanks. 19 18:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey whats up Moonriddengirl, its PaidInFull1987. You recently deleted my flubber page and im not here to scold you, you were right for deleting it, it was silly vandalism, I was just being silly. I was just wondering if you could send me the paragraph that I wrote because it does hold some personal value to me. Don't worry, im not going to attempt to put the Flubber page back up and vandalize again, I just got a kick out of it and I want to get that paragraph back so I can e-mail it to my friend, who would definately get a laugh out of it.

Dear Moonriddengirl,
You had written to me ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fdacosta) : Dear Fdacosta, regarding your contribution to History of wireless mesh networking, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites, or from printed material, without the express permission of the author or copyright holder. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from this URL: http://www.meshdynamics.com/third_generation.html. As a copyright violation, the article has been deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.
I am Francis daCosta, the founder and CTO of Meshdynamics. I am also the author of the deleted article on Wiki- Generations_of_mesh_networks. And I am also the author of what appears on [3].
And I am the author of both pictures, the one on my company website and the one I contributed to Wiki and released all ownership rights to.
I had contributed the article to Wiki because the generations of mesh networking products is a general topic and deserves a fair hearing. There is far too much hype around mesh networking and very little factual information on mesh networking architectures. The world needs to understand the evolution of mesh networks, else people have the wrong impression of mesh, perpetrated by the powers that control hype.
I will wait to hear from you before I consider re-posting the article.
Regardless of your decision, thank you for your efforts in keeping Wiki clean. I have tremendous respect for the neutral stand Wiki takes and am grateful for the contributions made by you and so many others like you to avoid it being overrun by commercial interests.

Regarding the William Mcguinea article, try a search on the book titles or other things mentioned in the article, instead of the name and it will become clear most of the content of the article is accurate, but it is the name "William Mcguinea" that is the hoax. If a hoax article isn't a reason for speedy deletion there is probably some other criteria this could be speedy deleted under because the article has every indication that it was created with harassment of a Wikpedia user in mind. The person on Wikipedia who can probably best explain further is User:Will Beback. I'll let you and him take it from here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.108.132.16 ( talk) 00:28, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm looking for someone who's totally uninvolved, is used to dealing with flamewars and is willing to wade through content disputes on articles about railway lines, and am racking my brains trying to think of someone.

1. Thank you, I have added the release notices to the discussion page of of History of mesh networking.
2. I was trying to redirect the Generation of mesh networks page to History of Mesh networking but not sure how to do this. I was putting in an note under Generation of mesh networks but it was deleted. So evidently that is not the way to be doing this. I am new at this so please forgive me.
3. On a separate topic, I am the Founder and CTO of Meshdynamics, a wireless mesh networking company. I have taken pains to respect and comply with all WIKI rules and guidelines. If we dont respect these rules where would WIKI be? I am offering my free time (not a lot of it) to help with mesh networking pages that frankly need much work. I attempted to fix one (Wireless_mesh_network) but someone decided it did not need fixing. It did. The information is currently either inaccurate or blatantly commercial and makes the mesh networking industry seem sleazy. I may be reached at 408-373-7700 if someone would like to chat with me about helping clean Wireless_mesh_network and other pages.

Good Day,
I was looking for the Transpromotional entry today, and I noticed it was removed. It's really not a neologism, because it's something that wasn't accessible to people in the past. This is a place where business strategy, new high speed printing technology and software come together to improve communications to customers.
There were citations to InfoTrends, which is an independent agency that reports about statistics in this area. There have been over 500 articles in related print magazines about the topic. Industry websites, such as outputlinks.com and xplor.org have resources on the topic. A list of leading industry providers was included, with links to their websites.
Please reconsider the deletion, because this document communication strategy uses technology to do something that wasn't feasible (it has always been possible) in the past. Draegermeister ( talk) 16:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
but, this is not a very liable source for information anyway. Especially when anyone can go and edit anything. For instance, a friend of mine (yes, some people actually have them) went to a random page and typed the word "poo" everyother word. So, this isn't the most reliable website which is why we could not use it for information on a project. :)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billiamrocksforlizzife ( talk • contribs) 00:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Moonriddengirl. I thank you for the enlightening review you gave me recently. I had almost forgotten about it. I'm sorry for this outrageously late reply, I've been rather busy as of late. Just for your information, I do watch discussions that I participate in, although not for long, as I move on to another one very quickly. And to clarify matters, when I said I am fond of heated discussions, I literally meant active and...how should I put it? A discussion that is participated by many and contains logical, well-reasoned and passionate arguments. Well, I hope that answers some of your questions! (About this AFD, I'm afraid I cannot give an answer; I myself am baffled by why I said that. Perhaps I was confused at that time). I will continue to work on my article contributions, and hopefully, the next time I ask for a third review, they will show far more positive figures.

Hi, thanks for responding to [4] this speedy deletion request; but now I'm rather confused! I've been doing new page patrol and have found quite a number of articles that are copies of other web pages. Some are just copies; others state that they have copyright permission but don't seem to have fulfilled the requirements of Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission e.g. emailing formal permission to Wikimedia. I need to know: once I find an apparent copyright problem, what should I do? Could you explain what is the difference between a "blatant" copyright violation and some other situation where the page is a copy of some web page? E.g. what is it about the Frees Hall case that made you not classify it as "blatant"? Also, when I put a db-copyvio tag on, am I supposed to watch the page so that if you take the speedy tag off, I can follow up with some other action? I thought the admin taking the speedy tag off was supposed to put the page into whatever other process would be appropriate -- is that not how it works? In the past few days I put {{copyvio}} (i.e. not the speedy kind) on a few pages, then saw an instruction somewhere that led me to believe I ought to have speedied most of them. Would it be OK if I just put {{copyvio}} on whenever I think there is or might be a problem, or is there some way to tell which ones should be speedied? Sorry if this is too many questions. Thanks for any instructions you can give (or for directing me to whoever knows about this stuff). -- Coppertwig 19:14, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello "Moonrider",
I understand the policy, but I know it can be overridden in some cases. Yes, I'm registering with Wikipedia to try and get more exposure for my new website UClaim.com.
But consider this with your management: there are thousands of people right now who have either been burned or flooded out of their homes. They have insurance, but the policies were lost in the disaster. They can't get them from their insurance companies or anywhere on the internet. What the insurance company does is say we will mail you one, but it does not come for 6 months, long after they got screwed on their claim.
Do you know I sent a couple of press releases to the San Diego Union Tribune offering the free policies for their readers and they said "we are too busy with charities". I would be glad to send you a copy of their email response and my press releases.
If you and your superisors don't want to help your fellow man in distress, then remember this when you become a disaster victim someday.

Please help educate me. What is the purpose of having Template:cite web if the text is not a quote? Should it be an edited version? The source was the Canadian government "posted with the intent that it be readily available for personal and public non-commercial use and may be reproduced, in part or in whole, and by any means, without charge or further permission": here. The Canadian Race Relations Foundation is an organization that is worthy of mention in Wikipedia and this was only small portion of the information entered.

Hi MRG, thanks for being civil in your explanation. Another sysop was not, and I appreciate the effort. I have some questions about your message that I hope will help me learn Wikipedia better.
I added a statement under "Aftermath" in the Megan Meier suicide controversy. I discovered the case and found that a blog had been created called Megan Had It Coming, detailing information about the case and eventually stating that it had been authored by Lori Drew, a party to the controversy, to present an alternative to the current media narrative.
I see in the link to sources that you provided that self-published material has many criteria to be included, and I wonder where this blog falls short. I see a clear case of the self-published material as relevant, not unduly self-serving, not unrelated to the subject, and not based on other uncited sources.
If the problem with the blog is due to being contentious OR involving third parties (although the piece is mostly about the author's relation to other parties), OR continued reasonable doubt as to authorship, what constitutes satisfaction of those claims under the Wikipedia guidline of "verifiability, not truth?" If the blog is genuine in all other respects and still contentious would it be removed on those grounds? Would that standard similarly apply to any self-published material that references a third party?
I ask because truth is a defense to libel, and if Drew's authorship of the blog is genuine then using it to quote her (as seems to have been her intention due to heavy suspicion of broadcast media) is defensible.
So, if I were to contribute to Wikipedia in the future (considering we can agree that proper participation is the goal of an open source encyclopedia), what do I need to know about verifiability in Wikipedia's standards? Must information be more likely verifiable (or true) than not, as in tortious cases (such as libel), or must it be proven at or near 100% certainty (which is nearly impossible about any account of history or current events not reported through multiple, independent, first-person sources without the means or motive to corroborate)? I ask especially because more-likely-true-than-not is a standard often used in the newspaper business (with qualifiers), and printing a story (especially reporting someone's words) does not verify information in any sustained way other than the negative proof of a lack of a libel lawsuit.

Your user page mentions you're looking to adopt someone...? I was wondering if you could adopt me - I've been asking around but no one seems to want to adopt me *Cry*. All I'm looking for is a bit of a run through with various vandalism issues and CSD issues, which you mention you teach. Think about it, but it'd be great if you could.

I was about to create an article on Freddie Mac CEO Richard Syron when I saw that such an article was recently deleted as a copyright violation. Just checking whether it is OK if I build up a stub on Syron, who is a former Boston Fed executive and Amex exchange chairman and definitely notable. I never even read the former article, and will of course avoid whatever copyright violations troubled the former article.-- Samiharris ( talk) 15:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
hi i dont have time to read through 6 pages of copyright policy, but if would point me to the correct section relevant to me, i would read it.-- Zorgness ( talk) 17:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I revised the list-y section into a more prose-y thing. Hopefully, it's good. Howa0082 ( talk) 01:19, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I've done some work on the article. Looking for suggestions and an updated assessment. -- Blitzvergnugen ( talk) 06:39, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey, see you declined the {{ db-spam}} on this. I've previously blown it away a couple of times, can't see the notability. Anyway, there seems to be something afoot with this and similar pages like Portableapps.com. A lot of speedy tags are being added... I'm beginning to suspect there's more to it than meets the eye. Care to join me in investigating? The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I saw that you re-deleted Wolfen (Star Fox series). I thought it was an appropriate article, as we have one about the Arwing, used by the "good guys". I know the Wolfen are not nearly as prominent as their good counterparts, but should they have their own article, or at least mention on either the Arwing page or the Star Fox series page? I personally think that a separate article would be the best fit for this fictional type of air/space craft. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the info, I had already dived in to create an entry for Mayor Cohen.
Don't know him personally (although I once met him years ago) but did live in St Paul during his administration. Did not provide a developed bio just enough to identify him as one of the St Paul mayors and distinguish him from the screenwriter.
As to "idiots", Mad Magazine always prided itself as being published by the "usual gang of idiots" so it may well be understood to be an accolade for creative minds.

Dear Moonriddengirl,
Thank you very much for the comments you have made on this article on Hygiene Standard Institute. I am trying to find some secondary references to this article. Regards, Sreejiagriman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sreejiagriman ( talk • contribs) 09:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Whoops, sorry about that! Still a bit new to this whole admin lark :-) ChrisTheDude ( talk) 13:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Moonriddengirl, I recently asked for the Wind Tower I article to be deleted due to blatant advertising and copyright violations. I am not sure what is the policy for the deletion of articles, but you did not delete the talk page. I just thought I should let you know. Thank you. -- Leitmanp ( talk | contributions) 18:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
As the contributer of the deleted article, I respect your decision and also may somehow agree with you. It was a test only. But as someone who is new at contributing to wikipedia I want to know that Do you alert, send message, verify, correct the articles? or is it like the administrators delete whatever comes at their hand? I just like to findout whether I contribute again or not -- Atlasiali ( talk) 19:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I note that you have declined my request to delete Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Business and Economics/graveyard1. This sub-page was set up with the intention of it becoming an archive for old AfD discussions relating to business. However it has since been superceded by Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Business, where business AfD's are logged and archived. Could I ask again for you to carry out my page deletion request? -- Gavin Collins ( talk) 08:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
The user TTN is using sockpuppets and bots to nominate a great deal of video game articles for deletion. The sockpuppets in question are Shiva Evolved and Krator. I'm not the only one that assumes this, either. User:Nubula and User:FangzofBlood and several others are getting tired of User:TTN et al. disrupting wikipedia to make a point. TTN has been following me on any articles i edit or link to and nominates them for deletion or merger. Something needs to be done. He has been removing others' posts on his talk page (mine included) if he doesn't like them asking him to stop. The sad reasons are "notability", "fan/gamecruft" or "not real world information". RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 23:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
well he does have the right to clean his talk page but i can under stand how that is frustrating. so he stalks you. have you treid asking him what his problem is? ANOMALY-117 ( talk) 23:10, 10 December 2007 (UTC) and your signuture does say "stalk" maybe he's taking it literly ANOMALY-117 ( talk) 23:11, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
That means he's being immature and incivil. As well, he refuses to answer others that asking him why he's doing this. RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 23:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
hmm....yea block him. ANOMALY-117 ( talk) 23:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I suggest you ignore the ridiculous sockpuppet allegations — in fact you might consider the status of the vociferous detractors. Cheers, Jack Merridew 15:30, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl. How are you? I have completed the missing biographies of all the governors of Maine. I have also created the missing biographies of the governors of Connecticut. Can you make necessary changes on Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/American politicians/Governors? The missing articles has been reduced. Regards, Masterpiece2000 ( talk) 05:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm so sorry I did not reply sooner, see my talk page for the reason, and for advice! I'll drop Ryan a note as well. Ariel ♥ Gold 13:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey Moonriddengirl,
I was checking out the adoption thing, and was wondering if you would be interested in "Adopting" me.
Im pretty new at wikipedia, and need someone experienced to help me out.

You have deleted my start up page for the WMMW project.
I work for Staffordshire University and we own the domain and copyright for the wmmw.org domain and are fully entitled to use any and all information about the project as we see fit
We thought it would be useful to have the project on Wikipedia
Please advise as to how we can get the wiki pages re-instated

I hope you don't mind another question. I can't figure out what to do with this page. Relief From Joint and Several Liability on Joint Returns. I'm wondering if it's a copyright violation, but maybe everything from the U.S. government is in the public domain so maybe not. Not quite sure if it's from U.S. govt, either. Here's the page it seems to be copied from. Thanks. [5] -- Coppertwig ( talk) 02:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I've nominated The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created.2Fexpanded on December 13, where you can improve it if you see fit. – Black Falcon ( Talk) 21:49, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I believe that "speedy deletion" is appropriate for things that are clearly vandalism or advertisements. I think it would have been more appropriate to tag the article with standard notability template, and give the author more than a few hours to complete the article. For the record, Zanzoona's channeler has a book out, is a frequent contributor to the local paper, and runs a multi-million dollar "church." I believe she has also appeared on local radio shows. She also appears to be a remarkable scam artist and my understanding is that she has been investigated by the local police in connection with this.
None of this may rise to the standard of notability, but speedy deletion is simply a knee-jerk reaction. Imagine my surprise when I logged on just 10 hours later to flesh out the stub I'd created and found the article gone. Kind of disheartening.
And yes, this is a single use username created to keep my commentary of this controversial person separated from my usual contributions. Zanzoonoid ( talk) 08:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on my editor review. Just to let you know, I usually archive my talk page by removing any comment from my page at my leisure (I was inspired by Glen's explanation on Figaro's talk page at User talk:Figaro#Answer). If every single comment was left on my talk page, it would be too lengthly to go and search the topics. As for the part about the uncivil and rude statements, I apologize for my actions. Once again, thank you for reviewing me and please accept my apologies. I appreciate your review very much. All the best, Greg Jones II 00:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
