Hello, I created the TrapWire page. You deleted it, questioning whether it had any importance at all.
A quick google would have shown you that the company in question is implicated in a surveillance project with connection to US law enforcement and intelligence agencies and is much in the news right now.

We need this article. (Note that the corresponding article for Sarah Palin was begun upon her selection as presumptive VP nominee.) It appears that you deleted an article and moved it to one user's userspace for him or her to work on. It's a subject that will interest many people so consigning it one userspace is inappropriate.
I created a stub but didn't post it when I saw that something had been deleted. I'll hold off a bit but the need for the article will grow apace.
With a subject getting this much attention, the initial article might be a mess but the Wikipedia editing process will work very well because of the large number of eyeballs on it. I suggest that we go ahead with a stub. If, after a couple days, you think there's reason to delete, it could be revisited. JamesMLane t c 21:11, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I am writing in regard to the article title Anne Block that you deleted yesterday. I am confused as to why the article was deleted. The article I wrote was in response to the comment from the editor responsible for the original deletion User:CharlieEchoTango stating that he was not opposed to a neutral re-write. See [1] .
The article I submitted was a complete revision. I added additional secondary sources, inline citations, and attempted to address "neutral tone". I feel that no one considered the merit of the article, and instead it was labeled a "re-post" and deleted. I would like the opportunity to access my work and address any issues with regard to sourcing or tone. I am happy to do this on a sandbox or behind the scenes somewhere until people are comfortable with the material.
I think it is sad that all Ms. Block had to do was delete the pages/sourcing several times and then threaten legal action, and now wikipedia has bent to her wishes. I can meet all the criteria for BLP. I can source every point.I just need someone to look at the content instead of deleting everything the second I write it. This all seems backwards to me. It seems that the authors who attempt to source their points and follow process should be worked with, but instead Block bullies everyone and gets her way.
At this point, I would just like to access the work that I did on the "Anne Block" article. I can't find my work or sourcing anywhere. If you could help me get this, and maybe point me in a direction as to what I can do to get this article properly reviewed, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!

Panyd, I just had to revise the Credits section for Prep 3: you had omitted the article names from the DYKmake templates, which are crucial: not only is it the link to the nomination template subpage, it's what the bot uses to properly note on each user's talk page and the article's talk page that a DYK has been displayed on the main page. Generally, we just copy the DYKmake template from the nomination template to the prep area credits section, replacing the dummy ones there; what you seem to have done was copy the name of the creator/expander only.
One of the nomination templates doesn't seem to have closed properly: Template:Did you know nominations/Njoo Cheong Seng is not showing up as closed. I think the "yes" may have been omitted from the "passed" parameter, but I'm not positive, and figured you'd want to fix it yourself rather than having my name show up as the person who promoted it if I try to adjust it.

Since you're new to DYK set building, I thought I'd pass along a few pointers when it comes to balancing DYK sets.
First, no more than half of any set should be bios. As I write this, you have a set that contains six bios already, out of eight slots. That's too many. I'll be swapping a couple of bios with hooks from the previous set, which had only two bios. (The other one that can sneak up on you is U.S.-related hooks, which also should not exceed half. Other countries should stick to one, or maybe two slots at most, in a set.)
Second, try to balance the type of lead hook you choose with recent selections. Yours is the fourth lead hook in a row of five that's been a man. Balancing people with places, objects, flora and fauna is ideal, and trying to fit in the occasional woman is good, too. We seem to skew to white males, and it's something to be careful of.
Third, try not to have two similar hooks in a row: same country, same type (bio, building, sports, history), same initial wording, even same unusual word. It can be a balancing act, but usually there's a way to get them in order. And if you can, put a quirky hook last to end the set on an up note. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Panyd, I've noticed you filling up the lead hooks in the prep areas for the past few days: I think you've managed to do them all, or virtually all. I'd like to ask you to let the rest of us have a chance at them.
Just about everyone likes to select lead hooks. One of the fun parts of filling up a set is getting the chance to pick the picture that heads it up. Frequently, when we're filling sets that already have a lead, we'll spot another that we think looks good—we don't pick it and instead save in the hopes of it being around for us to choose later. But if someone else grabs all the lead slots, we're locked out, and the one we've been hoping to save doesn't get featured. There are some people who only build complete DYK prep sets—whether I think this is reasonable is another thing altogether—but they're less likely to participate if no prep areas are fully empty.
If you're starting a new set then of course a lead selection needs to be made, but to go two sets ahead as you've just done feels to me like pushing the envelope. I absolutely don't want to discourage you, yet I thought it was important to let you be aware that there's another dynamic at play here. BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:27, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Panyd,
I'm covering the Gibraltarpedia/Wikimedia UK story for Slate Magazine and I was hoping to ask you a few questions for an article we'd like to run soon. Would you mind answering five questions about your involvement with the controversy? Perhaps we could get in touch over email. Or, if you'd rather just respond here, that's fine, too.
1.) How and when did you first discover Bamkin's promotion of Gibraltar through the DYK feature?
2.) How did you uncover his Gibraltar PR connections?
3.) What did you do to bring this to the attention of the Wikipedia community?
4.) How do you think Wikipedia should proceed from here?
5.) What is your opinion on paid PR consultants using Wikipedia to promote their clients?
Thanks so much!

Hi Panyd. At 17:59 on 9 August 2012 you deleted the page Document of Identity (Australia) with the following explanation: "A10: Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic, Australian Document of Identity"
The article Document of Identity (Australia) was not a recently created article. In fact I created it in 2005, six years before Australian Document of Identity.
Furthermore the title Document of Identity (Australia) is more consistent with Wikipedia usage since the document is simply called a Document of Identity in Australia.
I propose the following actions be undertaken:
This will allow for the retention of the page history of a seven year old article.
Once this is done I will make a Document of Identify disambiguation page instead of having it point to Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes as it does now.
I hope that makes sense. Cheers, Robert Brockway ( talk) 05:39, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Dear Panyd,
Thanks for your reply, but I still cannot see the reinstated article in the latest version of the page. Could you please help me out here? Many thanks in advance Bleix7 ( talk) 14:25, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello, you moved Common Roach appropriately to Common roach, thank you. If you are interested, you will find a number of Carps, Minnows, Daces, Shiners, Labeos, Chubs, Loaches, Barbs, etc., requiring similar administrator intervention in Category:Cypriniformes stubs and its subcategories, including Category:Cyprinidae stubs, Category:Cyprininae stubs, Category:Leuciscinae stubs, Category:Cobitidae stubs, Category:Labeoninae stubs, and other categories around. - Olaff ( talk) 13:42, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello. I am writing in regard to the article title Anne Block that you deleted yesterday. I am confused as to why the article was deleted. The article I wrote was in response to the comment from the editor responsible for the original deletion User:CharlieEchoTango stating that he was not opposed to a neutral re-write. See [1] .
The article I submitted was a complete revision. I added additional secondary sources, inline citations, and attempted to address "neutral tone". I feel that no one considered the merit of the article, and instead it was labeled a "re-post" and deleted. I would like the opportunity to access my work and address any issues with regard to sourcing or tone. I am happy to do this on a sandbox or behind the scenes somewhere until people are comfortable with the material.
I think it is sad that all Ms. Block had to do was delete the pages/sourcing several times and then threaten legal action, and now wikipedia has bent to her wishes. I can meet all the criteria for BLP. I can source every point.I just need someone to look at the content instead of deleting everything the second I write it. This all seems backwards to me. It seems that the authors who attempt to source their points and follow process should be worked with, but instead Block bullies everyone and gets her way.
At this point, I would just like to access the work that I did on the "Anne Block" article. I can't find my work or sourcing anywhere. If you could help me get this, and maybe point me in a direction as to what I can do to get this article properly reviewed, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you!

Panyd, I just had to revise the Credits section for Prep 3: you had omitted the article names from the DYKmake templates, which are crucial: not only is it the link to the nomination template subpage, it's what the bot uses to properly note on each user's talk page and the article's talk page that a DYK has been displayed on the main page. Generally, we just copy the DYKmake template from the nomination template to the prep area credits section, replacing the dummy ones there; what you seem to have done was copy the name of the creator/expander only.
One of the nomination templates doesn't seem to have closed properly: Template:Did you know nominations/Njoo Cheong Seng is not showing up as closed. I think the "yes" may have been omitted from the "passed" parameter, but I'm not positive, and figured you'd want to fix it yourself rather than having my name show up as the person who promoted it if I try to adjust it. Thanks! BlueMoonset ( talk) 14:36, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
![]() | On 7 September 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Palatine Light, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that John Greenleaf Whittier immortalized the sinking of the Palatine Light ghost ship with a poem written in 1867? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Palatine Light. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Since you're new to DYK set building, I thought I'd pass along a few pointers when it comes to balancing DYK sets.
First, no more than half of any set should be bios. As I write this, you have a set that contains six bios already, out of eight slots. That's too many. I'll be swapping a couple of bios with hooks from the previous set, which had only two bios. (The other one that can sneak up on you is U.S.-related hooks, which also should not exceed half. Other countries should stick to one, or maybe two slots at most, in a set.)
Second, try to balance the type of lead hook you choose with recent selections. Yours is the fourth lead hook in a row of five that's been a man. Balancing people with places, objects, flora and fauna is ideal, and trying to fit in the occasional woman is good, too. We seem to skew to white males, and it's something to be careful of.
Third, try not to have two similar hooks in a row: same country, same type (bio, building, sports, history), same initial wording, even same unusual word. It can be a balancing act, but usually there's a way to get them in order. And if you can, put a quirky hook last to end the set on an up note. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I wasnt aware that editors working on the same project were not allowed to approve each others nominations. Obviously blindness affects us all on some days. Usually it is thougfht useful to have a review by someone who does know something about the subject. Victuallers ( talk) 07:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Panyd, I've noticed you filling up the lead hooks in the prep areas for the past few days: I think you've managed to do them all, or virtually all. I'd like to ask you to let the rest of us have a chance at them.
Just about everyone likes to select lead hooks. One of the fun parts of filling up a set is getting the chance to pick the picture that heads it up. Frequently, when we're filling sets that already have a lead, we'll spot another that we think looks good—we don't pick it and instead save in the hopes of it being around for us to choose later. But if someone else grabs all the lead slots, we're locked out, and the one we've been hoping to save doesn't get featured. There are some people who only build complete DYK prep sets—whether I think this is reasonable is another thing altogether—but they're less likely to participate if no prep areas are fully empty.
If you're starting a new set then of course a lead selection needs to be made, but to go two sets ahead as you've just done feels to me like pushing the envelope. I absolutely don't want to discourage you, yet I thought it was important to let you be aware that there's another dynamic at play here. BlueMoonset ( talk) 22:27, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Panyd, you've been mentioned by Jimbo in connection with the DYK thread you started the other day: [2]. -- J N 466 01:25, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Panyd,
I'm covering the Gibraltarpedia/Wikimedia UK story for Slate Magazine and I was hoping to ask you a few questions for an article we'd like to run soon. Would you mind answering five questions about your involvement with the controversy? Perhaps we could get in touch over email. Or, if you'd rather just respond here, that's fine, too.
1.) How and when did you first discover Bamkin's promotion of Gibraltar through the DYK feature?
2.) How did you uncover his Gibraltar PR connections?
3.) What did you do to bring this to the attention of the Wikipedia community?
4.) How do you think Wikipedia should proceed from here?
5.) What is your opinion on paid PR consultants using Wikipedia to promote their clients?
Thanks so much!

Hi Panyd. At 17:59 on 9 August 2012 you deleted the page Document of Identity (Australia) with the following explanation: "A10: Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic, Australian Document of Identity"
The article Document of Identity (Australia) was not a recently created article. In fact I created it in 2005, six years before Australian Document of Identity.
Furthermore the title Document of Identity (Australia) is more consistent with Wikipedia usage since the document is simply called a Document of Identity in Australia.
I propose the following actions be undertaken:
This will allow for the retention of the page history of a seven year old article.
Once this is done I will make a Document of Identify disambiguation page instead of having it point to Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes as it does now.
I hope that makes sense. Cheers, Robert Brockway ( talk) 05:39, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
