Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andres Gifford, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Universidad de los Andes and Universidad Catolica ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I have restored the BLP-prod, because the only reference does not mention him. It confirms only that the law firm exists, it does not confirm anything about Mr Gifford. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 11:39, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
I know that in the past you had to deal with him, so my question is can you verify if his edit here is correct. I left him a message on content removal on his talkpage and read couple of debates that you and @ Deadbeef: had with him. You see, the sources are present but he removed the content because of POV (which had to do with Jens Stoltenberg being anti-semi), which is not a legit argument in this case because the sources were The Jerusalem Post, Arutz Sheva and some other well respected newspapers. I would like to hear some weighted and neutral feedback on this issue.-- Mishae ( talk) 01:54, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
![]() | On 11 April 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Frans van der Lugt, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Dutch Jesuit priest Frans van der Lugt, who had lived in Syria since 1966 and ministered to Christians and Muslims alike, was shot dead in April 2014 in Homs? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Frans van der Lugt. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello. I don´t know what do you mean with "clarification needed". The quote by Koldo Mitxelena exactly is: "before, we knew that Basque was waiting to be cultivated and even so we often failed to fulfill this duty, because we were not capable of doing so with sufficient purism. Now we are seeing the people from Jakin struggling to express difficult topics in Basque" (in Mitxelenaren Idazlan Hautatuak, ed. Patxi Altuna. 1972). Can you help about that? Another question: is necessary a disambiguation article? (Jakin, Georgia; Alo Jakin; Jakin (magazine)). I don't know how I can make it, but in other languages Jakin is without (magazine). Thank you ( Ketxus ( talk) 23:38, 11 April 2014 (UTC))

We have been battling over the altmetrics page, on a seemingly minor point. We should discuss it here instead of perpetually undoing each other's edits. The change I am referring to is [1]. I am sure that altmetrics do NOT include citations. I included a Venn diagram that explains the difference [2]. Could you please explain why you think altmetrics ARE about citations?
This paper [3] has several definitions of altmetrics, none of which specifically include citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alperin ( talk • contribs)
The distinction is implicit. Look at this paper by Jason Priem (who coined the term altmetrics) [4]. He says "So-called “alternative metrics” or “altmetrics” [4] build on information from social media use, and could be employed side-by-side with citations". Altmetrics are social media and citations are not social media. The definitions in the paper I cite above assert similarly, from other authors. -- Alperin ( talk) 18:59, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Below are the other from the paper cited above, with inline comments from me on how they affirm my point of view:

Not interested in getting into a Wikipedia debate, but I want to suggest something with regards to the deletions you made on the Journal of Law & Politics page. One of the reasons many folks are uninterested in helping the Wikipedia project is because of the sort of cursory deletions of the sort you made here: generally finding some policy to defend the move, automatically reverting any further changes that get made, staking out a Wikipedia fiefdom. There is certainly information in what you deleted more than promotional material, including the history of the Journal, notable contributors, and other activities the Journal engages in, valuable to a range of individuals who might look to the page for information (I would point to several other academic legal journal pages with similar information, but won't because I don't think you should delete those either). I am not affiliated with the Journal, as you suggest, and find getting into a debate on here about your edits to be petty, so will leave it at this. Wikipedia's loss. Give it some thought. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:1A80:38F:39E9:DF3C:678A:8F67 ( talk) 17:27, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

It appears to me that your speedy deletion of Spelling/Goldberg Productions was premature. There was plenty of context and criteria A1 was not appropriate.

Thanks for helping to make Wikipedia a better place, and for cleaning up the article for the National Security Law Journal. I admit that I am biased, but I do not think the page should be deleted. The journal has already produced two volumes, attracted notable speakers, and has been independently listed as a good resource on national security law by the ABA and three separate universities. I would be more concerned with entries like The Journal of Law, Economics & Policy, National Security Law Brief, George Mason Law Review, and George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal. Comparatively, I think the NSLJ entry is supported by more outside sources. I completely agree that the page needs to be cleaned up so it does not appear promotional, though. User talk:Ayesnik — Preceding undated comment added 17:26, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
There was no mention of the terms in the target article and the historical information which was present pointed at the Dialog representation. Thus, the meaning you attribute to these terms was never represented in the article in any verifiable fashion. The only valid reference I could find was to the now no longer updated Dialog dataset, and there was not sufficient information, in my opinion, to add that to the Dialog article. I feel justified in deleting them based on the information I had in hand, which pointed to the redirects not being valid based on info in the target article, the target article's history, or readily verifiable information I had at hand at the time. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 08:51, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
hi i wanted your help since you are an administrator. on the Vladimir Putin one user disrputed the article by removing the forbes articles about the worlds most powerfull person, that list is used on many world leaders articles so there is no reason the putin article should not mention it, secondly the same user also added this: "In 2014 Russia was excluded from the G8 group as a result of international consensus on the illegality of Putin's invasion and annexation of Crimea" which is news and does not belong in the intro per WP:NOTNEWS.

I understand the AFD discussion and did not fight the trend toward merge. I agree with your decision. But isn't something missing in this step? When we kill and article as insufficient to stand on its own, when we merge, shouldn't that mean you transfer the content to the merged page? OK, I'll have to do this, its available from history. You admins should be aware that most of the general public does not know that quirk. And when you fully delete an article, that information is lost to all but administrators, permanently. It can't be used to transfer content. Trackinfo ( talk) 15:51, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

The Washington post says that Elsevier has required academics to take down their own articles. Is that not a reliable source? Sorry for undoing your edit without talking, I thought I'd made a mistake and not included it. Sorry, I see you only took down one of my sources, not the Washington Post one. For the controversy around charging for Open Access, would you accept personal blogs like http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/the-elsevier-open-access-exclusive.html or Elsevier's policies as references? http://www.elsevier.com/connect/what-changes-when-publishing-open-access-understanding-the-fine-print#sthash.dTcOLuCV.dpuf
I think a personal blog of a professional academic, under their own name, should be considered a reliable source; reputation for honesty is essential for an academic. Especially when the blog is posted on the website of a reputable university, like http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2014/03/10/elsevier-will-not-immediately-stop-charging-users-for-cc-by-permissions-and-will-not-relabel-mislabelled-articles-i-suggest-academia-takes-legal-action/
I've put in more extensive references. I am confident that they are reliable, verifiable sources (you could always e-mail the academic and check), and I believe the information is accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.41.240 ( talk) 19:33, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering why you didn't delete the page SkyFly Airlines? It doesn't exist or at least I can't seem to find any references to it anywhere online. The page you linked to as it's real website is a website for a "virtual" airline. It's not real and the person who created the page only created that one page on Wikipedia.

I usually edit only the german WP, so I know few about the deletion procedures here (in the german WP, a simple speedy-DR is enough in such a case). The fact is that the company did use the the expression "Manchuria Airplane Manufacturing Company" itself in english. I did not find those other possible translations outside WP derivatives, so I was sure that these translations were created by wikipedians who did not know that there is that official english name. So at least in the german WP, such redirects are deleted because they are OR.-- Antemister ( talk) 21:13, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Randykitty, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education).

Hello Randykitty,
Recently you deleted a Wikipedia page called "YoWorld". I really had nothing to do with that page, but I do understand why it was created. It was about an internet game named YoVille. Recently, the previous owners of YoVille, Zynga, decided to shut the game down. The original owners of the game, Big Viking Games, bought the game in order to save it from shutdown. Since the game was sold, for copyright purposes, the game had to be renamed to YoWorld. There is already a page for YoVille which can be found here, I have been working on this page myself. All that needs to be done is a simple name move. I was wondering if you knew how this could be done. How can the title YoVille be moved or changed to YoWorld?

Please note that according to the revised taxonomy, Echinodorus isthmicus has been moved to a different genus, so a photo of it on the Echinodorus page is inappropriate.

Hi RandyKitty: Cecile Raubenhemier is a client of our company and we noticed that her wiki page was deleted due to not meeting notability guidelines. I was unaware this was happening and that we had the ability to contest this. The information that was entered into Wikipedia was very little of her resume/experience. I have a long list of tv show episodes, music videos, guest news appearances and movies that she has been in. How can we get her page back up on Wikipedia? We would love to add the additional information as well We are happy to provide evidence of her career and I thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.127.222.88 ( talk) 14:42, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Now, you need to know though is that not every actress is notable to Wikipedia, according to their policies. We do allow videos, like YouTube and such, but only as an external link. Keep in mind that all the external links should be minimal, the more references your article will have, the more chances it will get a pass. Here is an example of one that I wrote about:
Samantha Hess. Also, for the future, if its not hard, please use a
Sandbox to create your article. It is the best way to prevent deletion, in my opinion (though I never used it). There, people like me and Randy can come and check and fix some grammatical or other mistakes, and hopefully bringing your article to the world! Hope it helps.

Hello Randykitty, I recently wrote and uploaded an article called "structured cognitive behavioral training" and it has been prefaced with a question of subject notability. I do understand that this subject may seem quite similar to cognitive behavioral therapy, but there are some critical distinctions that I've perhaps failed to make convincingly. Part of the problem, I think, is that the distinctions are based around two separate ideas that are not always being used together. In other words, there is a difference between "therapy" and "training" and there is a difference when the training is highly "structured" and when it is not. I've found cases where it is considered training (without being overtly structured), for instance. I do believe this topic warrants its own page. Are there any suggestions that you may have that may help me?
Thank you for your time,

Hello. I don´t know what do you mean with "clarification needed". The quote by Koldo Mitxelena exactly is: "before, we knew that Basque was waiting to be cultivated and even so we often failed to fulfill this duty, because we were not capable of doing so with sufficient purism. Now we are seeing the people from Jakin struggling to express difficult topics in Basque" (in Mitxelenaren Idazlan Hautatuak, ed. Patxi Altuna. 1972). Can you help about that?

We have been battling over the altmetrics page, on a seemingly minor point. We should discuss it here instead of perpetually undoing each other's edits. The change I am referring to is [1]. I am sure that altmetrics do NOT include citations. I included a Venn diagram that explains the difference [2]. Could you please explain why you think altmetrics ARE about citations?
This paper [3] has several definitions of altmetrics, none of which specifically include citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alperin ( talk • contribs)
The distinction is implicit. Look at this paper by Jason Priem (who coined the term altmetrics) [4]. He says "So-called “alternative metrics” or “altmetrics” [4] build on information from social media use, and could be employed side-by-side with citations". Altmetrics are social media and citations are not social media. The definitions in the paper I cite above assert similarly, from other authors. -- Alperin ( talk) 18:59, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Not interested in getting into a Wikipedia debate, but I want to suggest something with regards to the deletions you made on the Journal of Law & Politics page. One of the reasons many folks are uninterested in helping the Wikipedia project is because of the sort of cursory deletions of the sort you made here: generally finding some policy to defend the move, automatically reverting any further changes that get made, staking out a Wikipedia fiefdom. There is certainly information in what you deleted more than promotional material, including the history of the Journal, notable contributors, and other activities the Journal engages in, valuable to a range of individuals who might look to the page for information (I would point to several other academic legal journal pages with similar information, but won't because I don't think you should delete those either). I am not affiliated with the Journal, as you suggest, and find getting into a debate on here about your edits to be petty, so will leave it at this. Wikipedia's loss.

Thanks for helping to make Wikipedia a better place, and for cleaning up the article for the National Security Law Journal. I admit that I am biased, but I do not think the page should be deleted. The journal has already produced two volumes, attracted notable speakers, and has been independently listed as a good resource on national security law by the ABA and three separate universities. I would be more concerned with entries like The Journal of Law, Economics & Policy, National Security Law Brief, George Mason Law Review, and George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal. Comparatively, I think the NSLJ entry is supported by more outside sources. I completely agree that the page needs to be cleaned up so it does not appear promotional, though.

There was no mention of the terms in the target article and the historical information which was present pointed at the Dialog representation. Thus, the meaning you attribute to these terms was never represented in the article in any verifiable fashion. The only valid reference I could find was to the now no longer updated Dialog dataset, and there was not sufficient information, in my opinion, to add that to the Dialog article. I feel justified in deleting them based on the information I had in hand, which pointed to the redirects not being valid based on info in the target article, the target article's history, or readily verifiable information I had at hand at the time. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 08:51, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

I understand the AFD discussion and did not fight the trend toward merge. I agree with your decision. But isn't something missing in this step? When we kill and article as insufficient to stand on its own, when we merge, shouldn't that mean you transfer the content to the merged page? OK, I'll have to do this, its available from history. You admins should be aware that most of the general public does not know that quirk. And when you fully delete an article, that information is lost to all but administrators, permanently.

The Washington post says that Elsevier has required academics to take down their own articles. Is that not a reliable source? Sorry for undoing your edit without talking, I thought I'd made a mistake and not included it. Sorry, I see you only took down one of my sources, not the Washington Post one. For the controversy around charging for Open Access, would you accept personal blogs like http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/the-elsevier-open-access-exclusive.html or Elsevier's policies as references? http://www.elsevier.com/connect/what-changes-when-publishing-open-access-understanding-the-fine-print#sthash.dTcOLuCV.dpuf
I think a personal blog of a professional academic, under their own name, should be considered a reliable source; reputation for honesty is essential for an academic. Especially when the blog is posted on the website of a reputable university, like http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2014/03/10/elsevier-will-not-immediately-stop-charging-users-for-cc-by-permissions-and-will-not-relabel-mislabelled-articles-i-suggest-academia-takes-legal-action/

I usually edit only the german WP, so I know few about the deletion procedures here (in the german WP, a simple speedy-DR is enough in such a case). The fact is that the company did use the the expression "Manchuria Airplane Manufacturing Company" itself in english. I did not find those other possible translations outside WP derivatives, so I was sure that these translations were created by wikipedians who did not know that there is that official english name.

Recently you deleted a Wikipedia page called "YoWorld". I really had nothing to do with that page, but I do understand why it was created. It was about an internet game named YoVille. Recently, the previous owners of YoVille, Zynga, decided to shut the game down. The original owners of the game, Big Viking Games, bought the game in order to save it from shutdown. Since the game was sold, for copyright purposes, the game had to be renamed to YoWorld. There is already a page for YoVille which can be found here, I have been working on this page myself. All that needs to be done is a simple name move. I was wondering if you knew how this could be done. How can the title YoVille be moved or changed to YoWorld?
Any help would be great! TheMysteryYo ( talk) 03:16, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.

Hi Randykitty,
please help me in the The Journal Database page. its showing speedy deletion. How i remove it. Nehaysingh ( talk) 13:44, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
I was rather surprised to learn about an IF=9 journal I had never heard of, not to mention an "American Electrical Society" It seems some others have been fooled also: [7]. I do the deletion and track down the contributor tomorrow. DGG ( talk ) 04:39, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
I thought that the promotionalism was removable,and removed it. Judging notability for Russian journals is difficult. I would be inclined to let an established Russian journal have the benefit of the doubt. DGG ( talk ) 14:37, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Psychological Injury and Law (journal), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Trauma ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to
Academy of Management Journal may have broken the
syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just
edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on
my operator's talk page.

Honestly, what is the point of placing four tags on this article that you know full well is notable and which largely duplicate each other? One about notability (if you insist) and one about sources really does the job perfectly well. Philafrenzy ( talk) 11:23, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Randykitty:
I understand you deleted my company's page for being promotional. This was created before my time at the company, so I cannot comment on the substance of your findings. That said, we've been in business since 2001, and I would welcome the opportunity to delete all objectional/promotional content so I can restore the page. This is simply to enable people to get basic information about our software and company history.
Thank you for any help/support you can provide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.128.21.125 ( talk) 04:25, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello. The speedy deletion tag was put in when the article was not quite finished (but a paragraph saved). I understand it may have sounded promotional and can remove all objectionable material. I do think it serves Wikipedia to have the entry since - outside of the corporate/production wing - Charles River Media Group is the production company behind Ascendants (see that wikipedia page) as well involved in multiple film projects of note. Thanks for helping if we can work this out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikisneelix ( talk • contribs) 18:31, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Is there any way I can access the deleted page so I can revise the content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.186.35.100 ( talk) 20:50, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm wondering what is this guys' h-index? According to his site, he have many publications. As far as Donald Jensen article goes, I couldn't find GS source as you told me. Perhaps they removed it, or he just goes under a different name? I must assure you though that I used Donald, Don, Ron even, with no avail. Any suggestions???-- Mishae ( talk) 02:16, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
We appear to be editing the same page at the same time. My plan (after dinner) is to reformat the references. Please note that according to the revised taxonomy, Echinodorus isthmicus has been moved to a different genus, so a photo of it on the Echinodorus page is inappropriate. Joseph Laferriere ( talk) 20:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Indeed. I was planning to do that, after dinner. Large page requiring a great deal of improvements. Joseph Laferriere ( talk) 21:13, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi RandyKitty: Cecile Raubenhemier is a client of our company and we noticed that her wiki page was deleted due to not meeting notability guidelines. I was unaware this was happening and that we had the ability to contest this. The information that was entered into Wikipedia was very little of her resume/experience. I have a long list of tv show episodes, music videos, guest news appearances and movies that she has been in. How can we get her page back up on Wikipedia? We would love to add the additional information as well We are happy to provide evidence of her career and I thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.127.222.88 ( talk) 14:42, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Now, you need to know though is that not every actress is notable to Wikipedia, according to their policies. We do allow videos, like YouTube and such, but only as an external link. Keep in mind that all the external links should be minimal, the more references your article will have, the more chances it will get a pass. Here is an example of one that I wrote about:
Samantha Hess. Also, for the future, if its not hard, please use a
Sandbox to create your article. It is the best way to prevent deletion, in my opinion (though I never used it). There, people like me and Randy can come and check and fix some grammatical or other mistakes, and hopefully bringing your article to the world! Hope it helps.

Hello Randykitty, I recently wrote and uploaded an article called "structured cognitive behavioral training" and it has been prefaced with a question of subject notability. I do understand that this subject may seem quite similar to cognitive behavioral therapy, but there are some critical distinctions that I've perhaps failed to make convincingly. Part of the problem, I think, is that the distinctions are based around two separate ideas that are not always being used together. In other words, there is a difference between "therapy" and "training" and there is a difference when the training is highly "structured" and when it is not. I've found cases where it is considered training (without being overtly structured), for instance. I do believe this topic warrants its own page. Are there any suggestions that you may have that may help me?
Thank you for your time,
Wellness writer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wellness writer ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Okay. I did reference a number of different studies that were done in the areas of cognitive behavioral change efforts that were classified as "structured" and/or "training." I will add sources.
thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wellness writer ( talk • contribs) 19:01, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Randykitty. I am a representative at Silent Models NY and created a separate page today for our company which was deleted. We were previously a part of the partner company Silent Models Paris' Wikipedia page but would like to have our own page detailing the New York agency since the partnership has been ended. I understand that the page was supposedly classified as spam/ advertising and did not meet nobility guidelines but I would love to see how we can get the page back up and what changes/ additions/ references we can add to the page to prevent it from being classified as spam. Thank you so much for your help! --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellaatee ( talk • contribs)

Hi, i'm trying to improve the page but I just realised that it has been deleted, could that information be moved to my sandbox so I can work con it to improve it? Thanks :) La cate35 ( talk) 21:09, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Although we have had our differences, I respect your hard work, assiduity and sincerity in trying hard to make Wikipedia better. Like you, despite my limited time available, I seemed to be getting hooked on Wikipedia, but don't worry my time is limited. I wonder if you would take a look at the Psychosurgery and History of psychosurgery entries. Despite the number of references, they seemed to have a limited point of view for a very controversial subject. An editor believes no changes are needed. Can you give me your unvarnished opinion?
