Hi Ritchie, may I ask you to keep my entry "Liselle" in the a.m. list ? It"s a song about the 600th birthday of a small city in Germany, written by one of Germany's most successful songwriters Tex Shultzieg. From my point of view it should be in this list as it shows the variety of songs not only about capital cities and from my understanding it underlines the wide spectrum of songs about cities. I very much appreciate if you give this entry a chance on Wikipedia. Thks a lot, Ritchie, Leslie — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leslie Chester ( talk • contribs) 05:05, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

I hereby award all involved one steamed fish in a dressing of chopped garlic, chillies, lime juice, fish sauce and chicken stock. The spearmint (bai saranae, Thai: ใบสะระแหน่, Mentha spicata) is used to cover up the somewhat strong smell of this particular fish but it is more common to see this dish served with coriander/cilantro leaves (phak chi, Thai: ผักชี) instead of mint.

Thanks for repairing some largely inoffensive refitting, rephrasing, and refactoring. But be careful, just because you run a recording studio, your expertise may be in-Wiki-adequate... 69.118.209.149 ( talk) 06:39, 17 March 2017 (UTC) Apologies for an addition. I followed mlpearc (the electric guitar reverter) to his talk page and left a note. His response, at that talk page, which I just found explains that intimidation is not acceptable. ???? It's in his talk archive nr 32 (IIRC). I see that I shall likely be reverting to Wiki-vacation status again. Kudos to you for hanging in there and fighting the good fight which drove me to the sidelines. 69.118.209.149 ( talk) 07:02, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey Ritchie, it has been long since we last talked. Hope everything is going well! I thought you might be interested in this project and this project. Thanks! Jim Carter 20:11, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
I would like to discuss the relevance of the deleted page. I'm the author.
You have not yet given my page a chance to blossom and grow in its own time. I can only assume that you did not read the statement on my page...
The requests for urgent deletion were made before I had the chance to post any content. However I since have.
I am requesting that you please leave the page be for me to later add further content. Thank you. Willmckissock ( talk) 14:29, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you once again for your response... I understand the usage policies and terms in full now. However I was merely asking for the page not to be taken down, I was entirely happy for people to contribute -the purpose of Wikipedia. I understand that it is still young, and need to be more well known. How can people write about something that they know nothing about... I will endeavour to make the symbology known in full as there are over 40 different types of simple, undeveloped barcode already written about on Wikipedia. Mine should not be an acception. I do understand where you are coming from.
People should not ask for a page that was created seconds ago for to be taken down, you should have consulted me about improvements upon the page before removing it. Perhaps you would consider doing this next time?
So once again, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willmckissock ( talk • contribs) 15:34, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Also in the terms of service, I have been led to believe that you can appeal or ask for a page not to be taken down, that is what I was doing.

This edit seems to go too far in the other direction, no? We've had 1-2 year candidates do just fine, and when there's text like this floating around, it encourages people to peg their stated expectations to it. How about something vaguer like "candidates should generally be active and regular Wikipedia contributors for a significant period of time" or "candidates should generally be active and regular Wikipedia contributors who have invested significant time in the project"?

Nah, just kidding about that last bit: my essay was never intended to "compete against" anyone else's or anything like that. But let's pretend for a moment that this is a contest: things are not looking good for my essay right now. You and

an investigation into illicit activities (yes, I "handed myself in". I felt I had no choice given the feedback I was receiving

I would hope to resort to WP's appeal process owing to the fact that you gave no summary/rationale at your closing of the deletion discussion for the blp Benjamin E.

to keep it fully honest i hadnt created the article about myself it was done with a 3rd party using my account. as well as you are an admin not an artist obviously so that example is pointless. i have interviews in line for publishing as well as new musci and videos. so again i am not understaning your reasoning except to flex admin power. if an article is made of me by a third party account not just someone else using mine then will my article be eligble? its hard for a blog to reference me when they cant find my page. theyve expressed they do not want to create the full page for me because for most artist worth mentioning theirs is already done so please guide me. and not with a witty assinine comeback.. — Preceding

Hi Ritchie, it looks like you reverted my speedy deletion request for Cell_Phone_Signal_Booster, declining the A7 reason because it has sources. Those sources look like they are all fake; the A7 reason is that the subject is not of importance, so the validity of the references doesn't matter - none of the references indicate importance of the company (who appear to be a small eCommerce site). I'm trying to help clean up some of the content around signal boosters on Wikipedia, but am new to using the site, so I acknowledge that I may be doing some things wrong. But I do think this particular page probably shouldn't be on the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whenthebellsgo ( talk • contribs) 19:42, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi there! I wanted to ask a quick question. You've declined a couple of my CSD nominations recently with a rationale roughly paraphrased as "has sources." Am I missing a guideline somewhere that says an article with sources isn't eligible for CSD? Thanks! — Non-Dropframe talk 23:05, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments at the poll page. In my opinion, the West Country Challenge and similar contests where you are trying to achieve as much as possible in a limited time probably don't produce the best articles. With regard to the Severn Railway Bridge GA, I did not deal with your comments as well as I should have. I have now replaced the information and found and added a reference for the completion date. Mind you, as the bridge was opened in October 1879, the chances of it having been completed in 1878 were pretty slim I thought. The Huxley book was really too detailed and yet unspecific in some aspects to be an ideal source.
With regard to the other main point you raised at the poll, it is not so much my attitude towards the other individual involved as their attitude towards me. I don't go out of my way to quarrel with anyone, but do try to defend myself when attacked. I can and do react to that person perfectly civilly but don't really see how I am going to be able to resolve any underlying differences between us. However the atmosphere at DYK is much more pleasant this year than it was last. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 21:07, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
You should also take note of Mob psychology which I feel greatly influences our votes/consensus debates. -- Yukari Yakumo ( talk) 21:37, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Basically if you run into trouble, get blocked, take a year off, then come back with a new account and don't cause any trouble (emphasis mine), I don't see an issue.

I fail to understand this decision. There is no such a word as "himn", it is "hymn" and the subject has a new page as I indicated, Hymn of Valledupar Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia ( talk) 22:31, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

I think your closure might be problematic: I see WP:NOHARM and WP:ITSUSEFUL on the keep side, and WP:Verifiability, WP:No original research WP:Neutral point of view on the other side. The keep comments are NOT telling why the neutrality problems indicated by these who wanted deletion; especially the positively skewed selection that has been identified as violation of WP:NOT#Advert and WP:NPOV. The deletion guideline to admins includes the following at WP:ROUGH CONSENSUS: "Wikipedia policy requires that articles and information comply with core content policies (verifiability, no original research or synthesis, neutral point of view, copyright, and biographies of living persons) as applicable." which you might have failed to apply.
