Hi RickinBaltimore, You deleted the page Draft:EMoflon. I would have liked to copy the content of the page prior to its deletion. Is there any chance, I could access the content (temporarily)? Best, Roland RolandKluge ( talk) 12:25, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi RickinBaltimore - I see you have deleted the page Beanstalk Web Solutions for unambiguous advertising or promotion. I am creating this page as an encyclopedia page only, so others with knowledge on the topic can add to it and keep the page up to date so readers can learn about the history and development as well as current facts and information. It was not created for advertising purposes. I denoted a very detailed history about the owner and founder as well as a company history and company overview with facts about the company. There was no sales or promotional information in the text. I would appreciate your input on what part of the article needs to be changed or what needs to be done in order to get this page approved. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you for time and understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeanstalkHope ( talk • contribs) 22:29, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello RickinBaltimore - you speedily deleted the page Apps Associates, LLC citing rule G11: unambiguous advertising or promotion. I would appreciate your help in understanding what precisely was the content in the article that was promotional, or what gave you the impression it was an advertisement. The article contained historical information and I intended the article to be a stub, a starting point, for others to add content and improve. The article didn't contain any promotions, sales information, or pricing that would indicate a product or service was being promoted. Could you kindly provide suggestions it improve it so it will be to standards? Thanks for your time with this. NoreenChase ( talk) 18:51, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi RickinBaltimore, you marked the page ENFOS, Inc. for speedy deletion, citing rule G4: recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion. In actuality, I had spoken to the moderator that marked it for deletion originally (Juliancolton) and had rewritten the article based on his suggestions. Afterwards, the page was definitely in line with Wikipedia rules given the causes for deletion in the first place and the new version conformed to objective tone and relevance rules. All this happened after the deletion discussion, and records can be found in Juliancolton's Talk page archives. He approved the article after my rewrite, so it was not a recreation of a page that was deleted. If all you saw was the deletion discussion, I'd understand why you figured it was a repost though. Thanks and I appreciate your time. - CWade593 ( talk) 3:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2017).
Hi there!
I have a small request: when deleting categories such as Category:People who are confused that are tagged with {{ db-xfd}}, would you kindly include a link to the deletion discussion page in the deletion reason, so that editors can trace what happened with the category—you can do so manually or by using the "deletion" link in the speedy deletion notice itself. Without the link to the discussion, the reason for the deletion becomes more obscure (especially to non-admins).
Thanks in advance! -- Black Falcon ( talk) 04:27, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. The article for easycore, a subgenre of rock music, was deleted at AfD and then was redirected to pop punk. The redirect was deleted at RfD in February with little discussion and even less consensus. You salted the redirect last month due to repeated recreation; however, there is now a reliably sourced section in the pop punk article dealing with easycore. I would like to redirect there. Would you be willing to unprotect the page? Chubbles ( talk) 02:28, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi RickinBaltimore, you deleted the page 'BookMyForex' citing rule A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events) and G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). This page has been up for a year and saw several edits so to comply with rules and regulations of Wikipedia. I had spoken to the moderators that marked it for deletion originally (Deb) & (RHayworth) and had rewritten the article based on their suggestions. Afterwards, the page was in line with Wikipedia rules and there were few edits on the page by moderators and contributors and the new version conformed to objective tone and relevance rules. All this happened after the deletion discussion, and records can be found in Deb's Talk page archives. They approved the article after my rewrite. I understand the promotion part of it but as being the 1st online marketplace in the world for its sector and being a market leader in India in its sector it should have a page. This page came up actually as part of my research into India's informal & unregulated currency exchange market and how companies like BookMyForex were bringing in that change towards transparency, for my course and since some of the other companies in this sector had their Wikipedia pages, I thought of creating one for this. As I explained earlier, I had followed guidelines and taken suggestions from moderators. I would really appreciate if you can look into this again. Thanks and I appreciate your time. - Bashir M ( talk) 05:56, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Bashir_M
Hi RickinBaltimore, the page was up for a year and there were further changes by few other moderators. If the page would not have been approved why would it be up for a year? And if there are any further changes required or you need further evidence of notability, please restore the page and I will edit it and add more details. You can review it again and if still does not fall under the guidelines, I am happy to continue with my life Bashir M ( talk) 10:29, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Bashir M
Hi RickinBaltimore, this is something that I discussed with Deb and one other moderator last year. I don't have any interest in the company apart from the fact that I was working on a dissertation on how highly unregulated the Indian Forex market was and during my research, I found out that this was the first company who brought in the concept of a marketplace and helped in regulating the Indian forex market. There were few smaller companies who were on Wikipedia and I thought creating one because If the smaller ones are on here, why isn't a bigger player, a market leader. I can share my dissertation with you if you would like. Rest If you still think it is a COI, I can't say much but like I mentioned to mods last year that if ever there was found a COI, please delete and ban me from contributing on Wikipedia Bashir M ( talk) 05:14, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

The page was /info/en/?search=The_Marketer_(Building)Arachlow (talk) 17:48, 10 October 2017 (UTC)Arachlow
I completely agree with the deletion. The page was spam from the very first sentence onward. "The Marketer is four floors of forward thinking"? The building MIGHT be notable, but is needs to be rewritten from a completely neutral viewpoint. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:53, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
RickinBaltimore, I am not trying to dispute the fact that the page needs work. I was just blown off when i was trying to work towards making the page meet the standards. Is all of the content complete spam or just that opening sentence. I am still relatively new to this process so I am trying to make sure I meet Wiki standards. Am I able to recover any copy from that page, or am I better off starting from scratch? Arachlow ( talk) 17:59, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi RickinBaltimore,
I recently created a page for the summer camp I direct, as several camps in NH have pages but we did not. My page was tagged for copyright infringement and for promotion. Since it was my first article, I understand that I don't have a ton of experience on wikipedia and that I could easily have had the wrong tone (not as neutral as necessary) - but I'm a little unsure on the copyright infringement. Not sure if that was an assumption because there were several quotations from the website, but the text is my own (as is a lot of the text on the camp website).
Just wondering if you have any suggestions on a rewrite that would better fit wiki guidelines. I would love to have the page (or a new version of it) reinstated.
Thanks, Lizschwartzer
Hi Rick, This is Liz' colleague. We have been deleted again but this time after emulating other camps nearly exact wordage and tone, just changing our name, location, etc. It feels like we are being singled out. If we are not, we don't understand. The last entry we kept to just a few sentences, just facts, and nearly identical to Camp Fatima. We got deleted, others did not. I would guess almost every organization was originally created by a person with a conflict of interest. This is frustrating. Please help us.

Hi, you removed talk page access for
User:Peterpens a couple of days ago after they had already been indefinitely blocked, and one of the two reasons you gave was: you clearly do not understand the reasoning for your block
. If you already knew that they didn't understand what was going on, you should have explained to them what the problem was. Rather than just basically saying "what you are doing is making me angry, let me show you how angry I am". It wasn't as if posting a rant on their own talk page was causing a problem for anyone. If there are people out there who feel that they are on a mission to insert dubious material into wikipedia critical of the PRC, this hasn't been helpful in stopping them.

Hi Rick,
I understand why you deleted the stub for ecoAmerica since it was so short at the time. However, I have recently added more information, including credible and notable references, to an article under the same name (ecoAmerica) that I just submitted for review. Since the new article could take up to two months for approval though, is there a way for you to view it sooner and consider restoring that new version in place of the deleted stub?
Thank you,
Mark
Does the New York Times article in the references at the bottom ( Seeking to Save the Planet, With a Thesaurus) describe ecoAmerica in a sufficiently thorough, balanced, and informative way? And if not, would the Washington Post article at the bottom ( Climate change can take a toll on mental health, new report says) serve as more of a blueprint for a notable and reliable source?

A user, and I suspect he is also behind other accounts and IPs before on the page going back several months (including one time you reverted him yourself]], has been consistently, despite reminders has been consistently with mobile edits trying to change the set English-style and actually damages the article through his failure to edit the warning out correctly in the <!-- --> at that very point telling users not to do it, meaning he is deliberately ignoring this despite multiple attempts by users to do so.

Hi RickinBaltimore, You deleted the page Draft:EMoflon. I would have liked to copy the content of the page prior to its deletion. Is there any chance, I could access the content (temporarily)? Best, Roland RolandKluge ( talk) 12:25, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi RickinBaltimore - I see you have deleted the page Beanstalk Web Solutions for unambiguous advertising or promotion. I am creating this page as an encyclopedia page only, so others with knowledge on the topic can add to it and keep the page up to date so readers can learn about the history and development as well as current facts and information. It was not created for advertising purposes. I denoted a very detailed history about the owner and founder as well as a company history and company overview with facts about the company. There was no sales or promotional information in the text. I would appreciate your input on what part of the article needs to be changed or what needs to be done in order to get this page approved. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you for time and understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeanstalkHope ( talk • contribs) 22:29, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello RickinBaltimore - you speedily deleted the page Apps Associates, LLC citing rule G11: unambiguous advertising or promotion. I would appreciate your help in understanding what precisely was the content in the article that was promotional, or what gave you the impression it was an advertisement. The article contained historical information and I intended the article to be a stub, a starting point, for others to add content and improve. The article didn't contain any promotions, sales information, or pricing that would indicate a product or service was being promoted. Could you kindly provide suggestions it improve it so it will be to standards? Thanks for your time with this. NoreenChase ( talk) 18:51, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi RickinBaltimore, you marked the page ENFOS, Inc. for speedy deletion, citing rule G4: recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion. In actuality, I had spoken to the moderator that marked it for deletion originally (Juliancolton) and had rewritten the article based on his suggestions. Afterwards, the page was definitely in line with Wikipedia rules given the causes for deletion in the first place and the new version conformed to objective tone and relevance rules. All this happened after the deletion discussion, and records can be found in Juliancolton's Talk page archives. He approved the article after my rewrite, so it was not a recreation of a page that was deleted. If all you saw was the deletion discussion, I'd understand why you figured it was a repost though. Thanks and I appreciate your time. - CWade593 ( talk) 3:29, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

News and updates for administrators from the past month (September 2017).
Hi there!
I have a small request: when deleting categories such as Category:People who are confused that are tagged with {{ db-xfd}}, would you kindly include a link to the deletion discussion page in the deletion reason, so that editors can trace what happened with the category—you can do so manually or by using the "deletion" link in the speedy deletion notice itself. Without the link to the discussion, the reason for the deletion becomes more obscure (especially to non-admins).
Thanks in advance! -- Black Falcon ( talk) 04:27, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. The article for easycore, a subgenre of rock music, was deleted at AfD and then was redirected to pop punk. The redirect was deleted at RfD in February with little discussion and even less consensus. You salted the redirect last month due to repeated recreation; however, there is now a reliably sourced section in the pop punk article dealing with easycore. I would like to redirect there. Would you be willing to unprotect the page? Chubbles ( talk) 02:28, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi RickinBaltimore, you deleted the page 'BookMyForex' citing rule A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events) and G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). This page has been up for a year and saw several edits so to comply with rules and regulations of Wikipedia. I had spoken to the moderators that marked it for deletion originally (Deb) & (RHayworth) and had rewritten the article based on their suggestions. Afterwards, the page was in line with Wikipedia rules and there were few edits on the page by moderators and contributors and the new version conformed to objective tone and relevance rules. All this happened after the deletion discussion, and records can be found in Deb's Talk page archives. They approved the article after my rewrite. I understand the promotion part of it but as being the 1st online marketplace in the world for its sector and being a market leader in India in its sector it should have a page. This page came up actually as part of my research into India's informal & unregulated currency exchange market and how companies like BookMyForex were bringing in that change towards transparency, for my course and since some of the other companies in this sector had their Wikipedia pages, I thought of creating one for this. As I explained earlier, I had followed guidelines and taken suggestions from moderators. I would really appreciate if you can look into this again. Thanks and I appreciate your time. - Bashir M ( talk) 05:56, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Bashir_M
Hi RickinBaltimore, the page was up for a year and there were further changes by few other moderators. If the page would not have been approved why would it be up for a year? And if there are any further changes required or you need further evidence of notability, please restore the page and I will edit it and add more details. You can review it again and if still does not fall under the guidelines, I am happy to continue with my life Bashir M ( talk) 10:29, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Bashir M
Hi RickinBaltimore, this is something that I discussed with Deb and one other moderator last year. I don't have any interest in the company apart from the fact that I was working on a dissertation on how highly unregulated the Indian Forex market was and during my research, I found out that this was the first company who brought in the concept of a marketplace and helped in regulating the Indian forex market. There were few smaller companies who were on Wikipedia and I thought creating one because If the smaller ones are on here, why isn't a bigger player, a market leader. I can share my dissertation with you if you would like. Rest If you still think it is a COI, I can't say much but like I mentioned to mods last year that if ever there was found a COI, please delete and ban me from contributing on Wikipedia Bashir M ( talk) 05:14, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Admin Team, I was working with another admin to keep a page from being deleted. But have since had my thread removed by the admin. Can someone please help me resolve a page being deleted that I do not believe should have been.

The page was /info/en/?search=The_Marketer_(Building)Arachlow (talk) 17:48, 10 October 2017 (UTC)Arachlow
I completely agree with the deletion. The page was spam from the very first sentence onward. "The Marketer is four floors of forward thinking"? The building MIGHT be notable, but is needs to be rewritten from a completely neutral viewpoint. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:53, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
RickinBaltimore, I am not trying to dispute the fact that the page needs work. I was just blown off when i was trying to work towards making the page meet the standards. Is all of the content complete spam or just that opening sentence. I am still relatively new to this process so I am trying to make sure I meet Wiki standards. Am I able to recover any copy from that page, or am I better off starting from scratch? Arachlow ( talk) 17:59, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
Was this correct on my part? You deleted this as a G2, then I did the same. Is it supposed to go to TfD or is this too lacking in logic to require the full process? Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 23:06, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi RickinBaltimore,
I recently created a page for the summer camp I direct, as several camps in NH have pages but we did not. My page was tagged for copyright infringement and for promotion. Since it was my first article, I understand that I don't have a ton of experience on wikipedia and that I could easily have had the wrong tone (not as neutral as necessary) - but I'm a little unsure on the copyright infringement. Not sure if that was an assumption because there were several quotations from the website, but the text is my own (as is a lot of the text on the camp website).
Just wondering if you have any suggestions on a rewrite that would better fit wiki guidelines. I would love to have the page (or a new version of it) reinstated.
Thanks, Lizschwartzer
Hi Rick, This is Liz' colleague. We have been deleted again but this time after emulating other camps nearly exact wordage and tone, just changing our name, location, etc. It feels like we are being singled out. If we are not, we don't understand. The last entry we kept to just a few sentences, just facts, and nearly identical to Camp Fatima. We got deleted, others did not. I would guess almost every organization was originally created by a person with a conflict of interest. This is frustrating. Please help us.

Hi, you removed talk page access for
User:Peterpens a couple of days ago after they had already been indefinitely blocked, and one of the two reasons you gave was: you clearly do not understand the reasoning for your block
. If you already knew that they didn't understand what was going on, you should have explained to them what the problem was. Rather than just basically saying "what you are doing is making me angry, let me show you how angry I am". It wasn't as if posting a rant on their own talk page was causing a problem for anyone. If there are people out there who feel that they are on a mission to insert dubious material into wikipedia critical of the PRC, this hasn't been helpful in stopping them.

Hi Rick,
I understand why you deleted the stub for ecoAmerica since it was so short at the time. However, I have recently added more information, including credible and notable references, to an article under the same name (ecoAmerica) that I just submitted for review. Since the new article could take up to two months for approval though, is there a way for you to view it sooner and consider restoring that new version in place of the deleted stub?
Thank you,
Mark
Does the New York Times article in the references at the bottom ( Seeking to Save the Planet, With a Thesaurus) describe ecoAmerica in a sufficiently thorough, balanced, and informative way? And if not, would the Washington Post article at the bottom ( Climate change can take a toll on mental health, new report says) serve as more of a blueprint for a notable and reliable source?

A user, and I suspect he is also behind other accounts and IPs before on the page going back several months (including one time you reverted him yourself]], has been consistently, despite reminders has been consistently with mobile edits trying to change the set English-style and actually damages the article through his failure to edit the warning out correctly in the <!-- --> at that very point telling users not to do it, meaning he is deliberately ignoring this despite multiple attempts by users to do so. This is a typical example of his edits. If you look in the history of the article, you will find this pattern persists among various different accounts and IPs.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. See you at the start of 2018. I'm taking a little break to spend with family and friends, and will be sporadically around. To those who left well wishes, my deepest appreciation. RickinBaltimore ( talk) 02:24, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
