Hello Steve!
I have just left a message with Anthony.bradbury about this deleted article.
Thank you for telling me. How did you know, since apparently there was no advanced warning? Or was there, and I missed it?
Actually, I am a wee bit surprised at this procedure, since I believe this stub did give some sources, and that the role of Eliza Hancock as a major inspirational source for Jane Austen must have been quite apparent, 'notable', in fact...

Hi Phantomsteve!
Thanks for reviewing my page. I am still learning Wikipedia (I'm just starting to grasp all the mechanisms that make it work so great).
The OpenCTM page was marked for deletion, and indeed, it was written by the author of the software, and so it is a bit difficult to keep a neutral perspective, but I try my best.
The reason that it was created by me alone, and not someone else, is probably that OpenCTM is quite new. However, I have received much feedback and questions through various channels (mail, forums, interviews etc), so I thought that a Wikipedia page would be appropriate.
I have made some updates to the page (and I intend to continue to do so) - do you feel that the current version is more adequate? I also intend to add sections about the software library, the tools and the compression algorithm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcus256 ( talk • contribs) 22:44, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Dear Phantom Steve:
I really appreciate your guidance. Thank you for all your direction. I think I may have placed the references concerning 3rd party interviews with newsources in the wrong section. Your comment about the sparse References section made me realise I should shift those sources where they rightly belong as references! (Unless you think they should stay right where they are.)
Beyond the interviews, there are other sites that mention or note Aase as an authroity in social media use in health care. I'll add some of those as well. After I perform these tasks, I'll likely ask for your review again.

Dear Phantomsteve,
I saw a message left on this users page about a IRC Chat, while I wasn't privy to the chat, be aware that there has been meatpuppet activity going back a few years with DoM. The coordinated planting of information by this organization is pretty well documented and was the subject one one very nasty arbitration decision. It surprises me a bit this has come back given the website is dead and the organization seem to have disapated. The last coordinated attack has been quite a long time ago, but it certainly looks like they could be gearing up for another one if their pattern of behavior is similar to the past. Feel free to have a look at the archieves of the DoM page if you want more info. I am not as active in Wikipedia as I was was and don't believe in the cause precisely because of this bs, but I do drop by from time to time. Davidpdx ( talk) 11:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts in trying to find a reliable source that discusses facepalm as a gesture. Unfortunately, both of the sources you cite discuss *facepalm* as a written expression or internet meme, not a gesture. I think, therefore, that the information more properly belongs at the page Facepalm (making it a stub article rather than a redirect), and not on a page devoted to "culture specific gestures that can be used as replacement for words". I suggest that you (and not I) should move the information in order to preserve attribution. Thanks again, Cnilep ( talk) 15:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Steve, I was getting help from Chzz but I see he is now unavailable. Chzz helped me create this page Centres_Against_Sexual_Assault but now it's got a note saying "This article needs additional citations for verification." I have lots of links eg to Victoria police, Department of Health etc all citing the CASAs but Chzz rejected these at the time of creating the page as he said they weren't reliable sources (I think that was the term he used). He wanted citations in newspapers etc which are harder to come by, hence the one used. I am unsure how to resolve this and what to add to the page to make it conform. Could you please help me or point me to someone who can? Thank you Peto Australis ( talk) 23:27, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi PhantomSteve:
I was taking a look at a couple of social media bio pages in comparison to the one I drafted on Lee Aase to see if I've hit the right tone. The two I referenced were Stowe Boyd ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowe_Boyd) and Guy Kawasaki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Kawasaki). I think I've gotten close, but I'd like to hear your opinion as an experienced Wiki editor. Thanks for your input.

Hi! I noticed that you added {{ relist}} to a number of discussions here and here, but it does not appear that you completed the relisting by re-opening the discussion on today's daily log page. I don't know if you are saving to a text editor and waiting to relist them all at once, but I wanted to be sure that you were aware of the second step to relisting.
Also, a few of the discussions (e.g., Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2009 December 16#Template:Always Sunny) do not appear to need relisting... Although only one other editor has commented, most deletion discussion processed do not require a quorum in order for a discussion to be closed. – BLACK FALCON ( TALK) 22:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you relisted some discussions on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 16 for the second time (that is a third week). That is a little unusual. It may be better to close the discussions as no consensus in such a case. This is my personal opinion, I do not know if there is any guidelines about this, but I wouldn't mind discussing it with others on Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion.

Steve you can now see that both ryulong and treasurtytag have vandalized the page NUMEROUS times and then tried to cover it up. They have also sent to other mods that I did it. I have reported this. If I get banned for this there will be hell to pay and I guarantee ryulong and treasurytag will not be on this site anymore. Now steve they have vandalized numerous times the diffs I have posted against Coffee. I repeat, they have vandailized numerous times diffs I posted against Coffee. They then reported to another mod that I did it and they have deleted this off the history SEVERAL times. I already told an admin about it.

Hi there. Would you mind stopping to use

etc. when commenting in an RfX? The community has long ago decided against such images in discussions (per
Voting is evil and see related TFD at
Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/June_2005#Template:Support_and_Template:Object_and_Template:Oppose) because they are increase page load times, make discussions seem like a vote, may distract from the actual comment itself and are generally adding nothing to the page except more text and a nice looking image that no one really needs. Unless you think your comments need to stand out amongst others, there is no reason to make them in such a way. Regards

Dear Phantomsteve, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).
Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki!

Wanted to thank you for finishing the sorting and making sure the thing was in proper form [1], and I'll thank TreasuryTag as well for catching it orignally. I'm going to AGF on it too since I've always seen MF as obviously knowledgeable on discussion rules there's no reason at all to think they removed my comment in pure spite. I consider mine a reasonable comment on my part since the !vote given is a very IAR-style reason to oppose that may well have never previously been used at that high a level of discussion and I wanted to express my respect for the !vote compared to my original confusion. If inquiring about IAR-style opposes in a tight discussion is a problem, I'd rather MF have taken it up with me. No end harm done, and again my thanks.

Who knows? Maybe in 5 or 6 months i'll be able to answer that question :) Doc Quintana ( talk) 01:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Hey Phantomsteve. Um, I had a couple of users come to me, but no actual "training" took place, just discussions in what I'm lacking in. Well, since no "training" came about, I guess I'll remove the "Match pending", then. Update: I removed the "Match pending". -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Dear Phantomsteve,
I saw a message left on this users page about a IRC Chat, while I wasn't privy to the chat, be aware that there has been meatpuppet activity going back a few years with DoM. The coordinated planting of information by this organization is pretty well documented and was the subject one one very nasty arbitration decision. It surprises me a bit this has come back given the website is dead and the organization seem to have disapated. The last coordinated attack has been quite a long time ago, but it certainly looks like they could be gearing up for another one if their pattern of behavior is similar to the past. Feel free to have a look at the archieves of the DoM page if you want more info. I am not as active in Wikipedia as I was was and don't believe in the cause precisely because of this bs, but I do drop by from time to time. Davidpdx ( talk) 11:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Phantomsteve,
Thanks for your quick response. My VQiPS page is a public information that I want to bring to WiKi community.

Dear Phantomsteve - I have removed notability tag as have now provided evidence of notability. Is it OK or do you wish more referenes? ( Msrasnw ( talk) 13:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC))
I knew you bastards would PROD it; why do you do that and claim it wastes bandwidth when EVERY revision of EVERY article is kept? How can little articles waste bandwidth with all that going on? I want an explanation that does not pertain to bandwidth. You are defying Wikipedia's moral hear, not me. Daniel Christensen ( talk) 18:14, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
I was never picked up officially for an admin coach. It's been a while and I sort of stopped editing waiting for one to come up. Go ahead and remove my name. I may try adminship again some day, but not right now. Undead Warrior ( talk) 21:57, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts in trying to find a reliable source that discusses facepalm as a gesture. Unfortunately, both of the sources you cite discuss *facepalm* as a written expression or internet meme, not a gesture. I think, therefore, that the information more properly belongs at the page Facepalm (making it a stub article rather than a redirect), and not on a page devoted to "culture specific gestures that can be used as replacement for words". I suggest that you (and not I) should move the information in order to preserve attribution. Thanks again, Cnilep ( talk) 15:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the review. Just in case you were wondering, I was only planning to provide a Google Voice number =D. In regards to reviewing other editors, I'll definitely do that once I have more free time on my hands. Right now I'm in the process of recreating WP:ABUSE with a couple other people, which is taking up a lot of my Wikipedia time. Thanks for the review and happy holidays!

Hi Steve, I was getting help from Chzz but I see he is now unavailable. Chzz helped me create this page Centres_Against_Sexual_Assault but now it's got a note saying "This article needs additional citations for verification." I have lots of links eg to Victoria police, Department of Health etc all citing the CASAs but Chzz rejected these at the time of creating the page as he said they weren't reliable sources (I think that was the term he used). He wanted citations in newspapers etc which are harder to come by, hence the one used. I am unsure how to resolve this and what to add to the page to make it conform. Could you please help me or point me to someone who can? Thank you Peto Australis ( talk) 23:27, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi PhantomSteve:
I was taking a look at a couple of social media bio pages in comparison to the one I drafted on Lee Aase to see if I've hit the right tone. The two I referenced were Stowe Boyd ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stowe_Boyd) and Guy Kawasaki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Kawasaki). I think I've gotten close, but I'd like to hear your opinion as an experienced Wiki editor. Thanks for your input.
Happy holidays!

Hey, thanks for the review. I am on this late still, I just gave 2100hrs to be an estimate. I was wondering how you intended for me to help in WP:AN/ WP:ANI/ WP:RFA edits. I don't get that. The unspecified amount of time is only till about the weekend, I'm just not sure what day I am going to get back. Anyway, what do you think is a good time to start thinking about RfA, appox. like how many months? Again thanks. Replies after I get back. -- MWOAP ( talk) 03:42, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that you added {{ relist}} to a number of discussions here and here, but it does not appear that you completed the relisting by re-opening the discussion on today's daily log page. I don't know if you are saving to a text editor and waiting to relist them all at once, but I wanted to be sure that you were aware of the second step to relisting.
Also, a few of the discussions (e.g., Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2009 December 16#Template:Always Sunny) do not appear to need relisting... Although only one other editor has commented, most deletion discussion processed do not require a quorum in order for a discussion to be closed. – BLACK FALCON ( TALK) 22:10, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you relisted some discussions on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 December 16 for the second time (that is a third week). That is a little unusual. It may be better to close the discussions as no consensus in such a case. This is my personal opinion, I do not know if there is any guidelines about this, but I wouldn't mind discussing it with others on Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion.

Steve you can now see that both ryulong and treasurtytag have vandalized the page NUMEROUS times and then tried to cover it up. They have also sent to other mods that I did it. I have reported this. If I get banned for this there will be hell to pay and I guarantee ryulong and treasurytag will not be on this site anymore. Now steve they have vandalized numerous times the diffs I have posted against Coffee. I repeat, they have vandailized numerous times diffs I posted against Coffee. They then reported to another mod that I did it and they have deleted this off the history SEVERAL times. I already told an admin about it. You better do your job or I will raise serious hell over this and admin WILL be removed. Wiki Greek Basketball ( talk) 14:23, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. Would you mind stopping to use
,
etc. when commenting in an RfX? The community has long ago decided against such images in discussions (per
Voting is evil and see related TFD at
Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/June_2005#Template:Support_and_Template:Object_and_Template:Oppose) because they are increase page load times, make discussions seem like a vote, may distract from the actual comment itself and are generally adding nothing to the page except more text and a nice looking image that no one really needs. Unless you think your comments need to stand out amongst others, there is no reason to make them in such a way. Regards

Dear Phantomsteve, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).
Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki!

Wanted to thank you for finishing the sorting and making sure the thing was in proper form [1], and I'll thank TreasuryTag as well for catching it orignally. I'm going to AGF on it too since I've always seen MF as obviously knowledgeable on discussion rules there's no reason at all to think they removed my comment in pure spite. I consider mine a reasonable comment on my part since the !vote given is a very IAR-style reason to oppose that may well have never previously been used at that high a level of discussion and I wanted to express my respect for the !vote compared to my original confusion. If inquiring about IAR-style opposes in a tight discussion is a problem, I'd rather MF have taken it up with me. No end harm done, and again my thanks.
...Being RCP-style reverted at an RfB discussion gave me my laugh for the day, at least. Cheers~ ♪ daTheisen (talk) 12:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
