Hello RHaworth, Could you remove the merging tag from Kosal state movement. It can be a separate article because of significant political developments. Please see: http://kddf.wordpress.com/category/demand-of-koshal-state/. I also propose the name of Western Orissa should be changed to Koshal region.

Sorry it is talk:Western Orissa. I can remove the merging tag but do not know how to change the main title. — Skarmee ( talk) 09:27, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
I recently wrote an article about the video game Minecraft, and noticed that you had deleted a similar article in late October. I came here to see if you'd allow me to post my newer article or not. I noticed that the reason for the last article's deletion was that it was spam, so I don't know if it was just a meaningless "lol minecraft rox" article or what. My potential article can be read/checked here. Thanks. —Preceding undated comment added 07:51, 21 December 2009 (UTC).
In order to create an article for the musician Erfan, I noticed that previous pages have been deleted, the last one by you. I followed the guidelines in "deletion review" section of wikipedia and it notes to follow up with last person who deleted. Can you look into your deletion and release the article page please.

There is an article on a guy from the seduction community called Adam Lyons. It seems like it most of its sources are blogs and dead links, making it not notable enough and lacking credit for an article. Could you have a look at it? 54Boofie ( talk) 23:02, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I had no intention of hiding my draft (I presumed you would look on my user page)and wasn't aware that as an employee I wasn't able to produce an information page on the company.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series (2nd nomination) The AFD had only been going on in one day. The fact that three previous AFD happened in 2006, and one previous one happened in 2007, should not have anything to do with the current one being held now in November of 2009. I found one news source for it. Other things may exist as well. Please go through proper procedures and give the AFD its full week. Dream Focus 12:53, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Is there a specific group of admins to report sock puppets to? I have found that these two:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Coaster7 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Handrem
seem to only edit things related to Love Systems, and everything else they edit is just for show, for example adding one Wikilink to a random article before moving on. Could you have a look or point me in the right direction please? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but they are both voting on the delete page of Adam Lyons within minutes of each other, and their editing looks very similar. Thanks for your time RHaworth DRosin ( talk) 10:28, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello, can I (as a relatively new user), make the following observation?. If there is an intention to redirect / merge / delete an article (in preperation for a collaboration project, or otherwise) that maybe a note could be left on the talk page (or article), or maybe a short note (of intent) to the contributer to that effect first? I am perplexed and frustrated by conflicting information and actions by editors. Is my assumption that discussion should precede action incorrect? Francis E Williams ( talk) 22:28, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello again, (1) I have to apologise with regard the graphic, I have checked and you are correct. Even though I clicked on the the upload, the commons symbol (or what I thought was the symbol) appeared and took me through the process. Can I not do as I wish with this image on my private user page?. Its size there does not govern the image in the article. (That is set by a display variable). (2) The School Shield (or Badge) was designed in 1954 by a Mr. Box, the school is now defunct. It is not a direct copy of an original (it was constructed pixel by pixel) using different colour variants (from memory) in 2001. I have seen an original since then, mine cannot be considered a clone. (3) Grammar, I am aware of a few technical issues. Please Google "Writing and Grammar, Huddersfield University." I quote, " Apostrophes to Show Possession. The apostrophe signals the door belongs to the manager. When the possessors are plural the apostrophe goes after the final S.
"The managers' doors were always open." end quote. Therefore its`(the counties`) hills belong to the counties. Or do you consider this also technically incorrect?, if so do you have an example showing this is so? (4) I think that obscure references are not the way forward to convey meaning within your messages, they only convey misunderstanding, as is the case for me about the "woman from wiveliscombe". (this part of your edit never appeared on the page, just the words "you did not delete the article").Perhaps I misunderstand you, are you trying to add some light hearted content? P.S. aren`t you supposed to send your messages to me and not post them for me to find on your discussion page, or have I been mis-informed again? Francis E Williams ( talk) 16:03, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
I deprodded Heart no Kuni no Alice. You may have been mislead by the date on the {{ refimprove}} template.

May I just ask why the page Montmorency (character) has been deleted. It states that it was deleted due to not enough context.

Hello! Just noticed that Nebolish Mastiff had been re-moved back to Nebolish mastiff, lower case. I was just curious as to your reasoning? I'd originally moved it when I found it because it seems that all of the mastiff breeds follow the capitalized-mastiff convention (seems Mastiff is part of the breed name, eg: English Mastiff, Korean Mastiff, etc. and most of the mastiff breeds follow the convention and have capitalized articles, as per the Molosser page). I'd like to switch it back on those grounds (redirect Nebolish mastiff, use Nebolish Mastiff as main article) but figured if you'd moved it, you'd had a reason, so I figured I'd ask before I did anything... As I'm sure your reason for moving was probably more compelling than my own. Thanks! Tehae ( talk) 15:23, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

RHaworth, I noticed that on 3rd December you deleted both Masterseries and MasterFrame, if possible would i be able to have a copy of the text from masterseries sent to me? I understand that masterframe could be seen as solely for advertising, but i believe that the information i provided in the article for masterseries is quite relevant and factual. I will be editing the first paragraph to remove the reference to masterframe. I am affiliated to masterseries but would like to have a page set up purely for an informational purpose and not as a form of advertising.

Hello RHaworth. Could you please clarify what you mean when you "prod" an article with the rationale of "no evidence of notability" [3] [4] ? Thanks, Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 05:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Ack. Here I was asking you to clarify, while being completely unclear myself as to what I was getting at. Very sorry. What I was meaning to ask was what you meant by "no evidence": no evidence in the article itself, or additionally no evidence by way of a search for sources? In other words, I was hoping you were doing a good-faith search for sources before tagging something for deletion, but was not completely sure. (And you are right, it's best to put sources right into the articles, but sometimes I do a quick list on a talk page when I'm feeling rushed, or perhaps lazy.) Anyway, sorry again for how that came across; I can see why you thought I was being difficult. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 17:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
New editors are sometimes confused about the need for sourcing or how to do it. (I also give much less leeway to obvious COI editors.) The old spirit of "don't delete an article if can be improved" compels us to search for sources before tagging, at least that's been my understanding. WP:N says it rather explicitly, " If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate unless active effort has been made to find these sources." Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 23:01, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Just to be as simple as possible
we're copying the articles and leave them untouched cuz we translate them into arabic with Google's toolkit
I can send you a copy of the contract between Google, and the Company that employs the translators (DAT) "but it will be in Arabic"... and I can make admins on both the Arabic & English wikis assure you of the credibility of the project and that it doesn't have any other targets other than translation...
I know wikipedia's rules very well, and I'm pretty sure that as long that we're not Violating GFDL nor CC&CC bu copying them to our user space,, specially that they are there for a purpose and they will be deleted later, but after the scope is DONE..

I agree the silly quotes are Microsoft's fault. My version of Excel does not even allow me to create CSV files but when you ask it to do a tab-separated list, it puts in "s as though it was doing a CSV file! I went on and converted the tab-separated list into a mySQL table. If it is of any use to you, you may copy it from here - it can be opened as a plain text file. Sortable wikitables are all very well but for real flexiblitiy you can't beat a good bit of mySQL. For example, I have created User:Pdfpdf/sandbox from my table.
I fear that you are going to have a long and unrewarding search. I shall be happy to be proved wrong but I will be very surprised if you find more than a dozen R. scholars who have articles here and who are not already in the list, the cats or special:whatlinkshere/Rhodes Scholar.
Brenton Brown & Kenji Yoshino are not in the list article - but you could have found them via the categories. Andrew Zawacki and Monica Youn could have been found via special:whatlinkshere/Rhodes Scholar. David Phiri has just popped up - he is a fellow of the Rhodes Foundation (new article needed?) but was apparently never an R. scholar - but it is possibly his granddaughter Natasha who has just gone up to Lincoln.

Hello, I had no intention of hiding my draft (I presumed you would look on my user page)and wasn't aware that as an employee I wasn't able to produce an information page on the company.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series (2nd nomination) The AFD had only been going on in one day. The fact that three previous AFD happened in 2006, and one previous one happened in 2007, should not have anything to do with the current one being held now in November of 2009. I found one news source for it. Other things may exist as well. Please go through proper procedures and give the AFD its full week. Dream Focus 12:53, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Is there a specific group of admins to report sock puppets to? I have found that these two:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Coaster7 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Handrem
seem to only edit things related to Love Systems, and everything else they edit is just for show, for example adding one Wikilink to a random article before moving on. Could you have a look or point me in the right direction please? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but they are both voting on the delete page of Adam Lyons within minutes of each other, and their editing looks very similar.

Hello, can I (as a relatively new user), make the following observation?. If there is an intention to redirect / merge / delete an article (in preperation for a collaboration project, or otherwise) that maybe a note could be left on the talk page (or article), or maybe a short note (of intent) to the contributer to that effect first? I am perplexed and frustrated by conflicting information and actions by editors. Is my assumption that discussion should precede action incorrect? Francis E Williams ( talk) 22:28, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello again, (1) I have to apologise with regard the graphic, I have checked and you are correct. Even though I clicked on the the upload, the commons symbol (or what I thought was the symbol) appeared and took me through the process. Can I not do as I wish with this image on my private user page?. Its size there does not govern the image in the article. (That is set by a display variable). (2) The School Shield (or Badge) was designed in 1954 by a Mr. Box, the school is now defunct. It is not a direct copy of an original (it was constructed pixel by pixel) using different colour variants (from memory) in 2001. I have seen an original since then, mine cannot be considered a clone. (3) Grammar, I am aware of a few technical issues. Please Google "Writing and Grammar, Huddersfield University." I quote, " Apostrophes to Show Possession. The apostrophe signals the door belongs to the manager. When the possessors are plural the apostrophe goes after the final S.
"The managers' doors were always open." end quote. Therefore its`(the counties`) hills belong to the counties. Or do you consider this also technically incorrect?, if so do you have an example showing this is so? (4) I think that obscure references are not the way forward to convey meaning within your messages, they only convey misunderstanding, as is the case for me about the "woman from wiveliscombe". (this part of your edit never appeared on the page, just the words "you did not delete the article").Perhaps I misunderstand you, are you trying to add some light hearted content? P.S. aren`t you supposed to send your messages to me and not post them for me to find on your discussion page, or have I been mis-informed again?

Hello! Just noticed that Nebolish Mastiff had been re-moved back to Nebolish mastiff, lower case. I was just curious as to your reasoning? I'd originally moved it when I found it because it seems that all of the mastiff breeds follow the capitalized-mastiff convention (seems Mastiff is part of the breed name, eg: English Mastiff, Korean Mastiff, etc. and most of the mastiff breeds follow the convention and have capitalized articles, as per the Molosser page). I'd like to switch it back on those grounds (redirect Nebolish mastiff, use Nebolish Mastiff as main article) but figured if you'd moved it, you'd had a reason, so I figured I'd ask before I did anything... As I'm sure your reason for moving was probably more compelling than my own. Thanks! Tehae ( talk) 15:23, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

RHaworth, I noticed that on 3rd December you deleted both Masterseries and MasterFrame, if possible would i be able to have a copy of the text from masterseries sent to me? I understand that masterframe could be seen as solely for advertising, but i believe that the information i provided in the article for masterseries is quite relevant and factual. I will be editing the first paragraph to remove the reference to masterframe. I am affiliated to masterseries but would like to have a page set up purely for an informational purpose and not as a form of advertising. Any help you could give me with regards to this would be greatly appreciated! -- Unowhonos ( talk · contribs) 12:14, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth. Could you please clarify what you mean when you "prod" an article with the rationale of "no evidence of notability" [3] [4] ? Thanks, Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 05:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Ack. Here I was asking you to clarify, while being completely unclear myself as to what I was getting at. Very sorry. What I was meaning to ask was what you meant by "no evidence": no evidence in the article itself, or additionally no evidence by way of a search for sources? In other words, I was hoping you were doing a good-faith search for sources before tagging something for deletion, but was not completely sure. (And you are right, it's best to put sources right into the articles, but sometimes I do a quick list on a talk page when I'm feeling rushed, or perhaps lazy.) Anyway, sorry again for how that came across; I can see why you thought I was being difficult. Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 17:13, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
New editors are sometimes confused about the need for sourcing or how to do it. (I also give much less leeway to obvious COI editors.) The old spirit of "don't delete an article if can be improved" compels us to search for sources before tagging, at least that's been my understanding. WP:N says it rather explicitly, " If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate unless active effort has been made to find these sources."

Just to be as simple as possible
we're copying the articles and leave them untouched cuz we translate them into arabic with Google's toolkit
I can send you a copy of the contract between Google, and the Company that employs the translators (DAT) "but it will be in Arabic"... and I can make admins on both the Arabic & English wikis assure you of the credibility of the project and that it doesn't have any other targets other than translation...
I know wikipedia's rules very well, and I'm pretty sure that as long that we're not Violating GFDL nor CC&CC bu copying them to our user space,, specially that they are there for a purpose and they will be deleted later, but after the scope is DONE..
If there's anything you'd like to know please contact me... or User:Meno25 who is our Arabic Wiki's 'krat & an admin on the english wiki

I agree the silly quotes are Microsoft's fault. My version of Excel does not even allow me to create CSV files but when you ask it to do a tab-separated list, it puts in "s as though it was doing a CSV file! I went on and converted the tab-separated list into a mySQL table. If it is of any use to you, you may copy it from here - it can be opened as a plain text file. Sortable wikitables are all very well but for real flexiblitiy you can't beat a good bit of mySQL. For example, I have created User:Pdfpdf/sandbox from my table.
I fear that you are going to have a long and unrewarding search. I shall be happy to be proved wrong but I will be very surprised if you find more than a dozen R. scholars who have articles here and who are not already in the list, the cats or special:whatlinkshere/Rhodes Scholar.
Brenton Brown & Kenji Yoshino are not in the list article - but you could have found them via the categories. Andrew Zawacki and Monica Youn could have been found via special:whatlinkshere/Rhodes Scholar. David Phiri has just popped up - he is a fellow of the Rhodes Foundation (new article needed?) but was apparently never an R. scholar - but it is possibly his granddaughter Natasha who has just gone up to Lincoln.
