What happened? I got the notification about the deletion. I put a hangon petition and added a response about its purpose and the page was deleted without anybody responding to my explanation. Can you at least userfy the page? It was not an orphan page, but part of a project about all the diferent National Greek umbrella organizations. I think it could meet the notability requirements after I had finished working on it. I had already created the navigation template with the orgs. I was working on the articles for the org members. I mean, the article received the deletion notice not one minute after I saved it.-- Coquidragon ( talk) 23:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I have a favor to ask, that is if you can and if you are willing. I don´t know how this would work. I would really apreciate if you could userfy to me the deleted Fraternity Leadership Association article so that I could improve on its notability and sourcing as well. I left a message at Soumyasch talk page, who was the admin who deleted the page, but there is a message there that says "I am no longer actively editing on Wikipedia, though out of sheer habit, still check my watchlist regularly and sporadically fix a mistake/vandalism or two." Thanks in advance either way.-- Coquidragon ( talk) 15:27, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I am making an effort in good faith to add photographer Seth Sabal to the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. I noticed that I could not Add my article because of a preceding article having been deleted. I have a new article that I wish to write on this artist. I think that he unquestionably falls into the nobility of the photographers in the section and has esteemed credibility in the world of fashion, based on sourced information avaib. via many sources. I really would like to sink my teeth into this one he should be included in the list
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Model.com website has him listed shooting editorial for Vogue Italy in 03/2010, Vogue Brazil, with direct links to the clients webpage and photo credits. at this link: http://models.com/work/vogue-italia-curvy-interview-with-lizzie-miller-for-vogue-italia-curvy http://models.com/people/seth-sabal
The Fashion Database Directory has him listed as a Vogue Brazil contributor along with Mario Testino and others at this Link: http://www.myfdb.com/editorials/39053-vogue-brasil-editorial-atualize-seu-guarda-roupa-july-2009/credits
He is in Videos on YouTube shooting Victoria Secret Supermodels; that are in the Forbes list as the top earning supermodels in the world, clearly establishing his credibility - by having access to these models.

Thank you, I am obliged at you taking the time to address the prerequisite and essentials needed to make this article "Wiki-Worthy." I took all our advice into account and found it very helpful. Some of the sources that I wanted to use are clearly out. In-particular the video, it seems to be posted from his personal studio making it a bias opinion. (gone) Unsourceable blogs, (Gone)...
What I found that really can bite my teeth in, are the direct photo-credit and links to both Vogue Italian and the Fashion Database owned by Style.com- they show Mr. Sabal as a contributor to two of the best fashion magazines in the world. Also the Models.com website is an industry standard for both the fashion coverage and editorial database show the Vogue contributions. He seems to have the fashion creditably as a "notable" fashion photography contributor. At one time the "Seth Sabal" article was clearly ill-considered and seemed even by my accounts as self-promotion, that is not the case in present-time with bona fide sourcing. I wish to adhere to the reliable facts on the artist, and rewrite the article. Thank you for your help, how should I proceed? Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 16:48, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Im back! :-) Please take a look at this, it's to the point, referenced well and I'd love your advice and critique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fashionhound1985/Seth_Sabal Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 23:51, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I need your help sowhy, I am confused on how to nominate this article to be undeleted. Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 23:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the time on this article.
I surmise, written correctly this article should fall easily the guideline for notability. I will continue to source and move forward, like you have suggested.
Sabal, most importantly a contributor to Vogue and major advertisements. (This is very well documented.) I highly respect your opinion and would love to understand your reasoning behind not finding him notable enough for the article. I really would like to make this article something all "Can bite their teeth into." I have looked at the history on this artist, and found quite a bit of contention to this article. I was actually a little bit shocked to see how contributors have not really given this article a fair shot, It seems that I can find so much on this artist. Much, much more than many photographers in the section. I am hoping to come to a middle ground and understand how I can make this work, the artist merits the section. Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 00:09, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Very well, I am starting to understand what you are saying, I will find what you are asking for. The Miranda Kerr thing is shot by Sabal, it shows him in the video credits, and so is the Nordstom Advertisement. I will find articles about the photographer. The IMDB database is edited by subscribers and could say anything you are totally right on that. Model.com and MyFDB are independently owned and only reference accredited magazine editorials like Vogue and others, and show the links to the magazine and where they are sourced from. Maybe its best to source the Magazine webpage directly. Like Vogue Italia's Link showing Sabal's work. http://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-curvy/glam-and-curvy/2010/02/lizzie-miller If you go to the studio images, and click the downarrows you can see the photo credits to Sabal. If you have the magazine you can actually see his credits in print. I am going to work on this as best I can, thank you for the guidance and support. Anything else you think I should include? Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 21:02, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
I got it thank you very much for the assistance, I will gather exactly what you saying it totally makes sense and I will find these types of references. Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 21:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Good evening, I'm thinking about recreating the article of "GSG9 tactical boot by Adidas". This article has been deleted in 2009 due to advertising. Would that be o.k. to give this article another chance? And do you happen to still have any information about that article?
Thanks!

I see that you deleted Santa's Village (Santa Cruz County, California) a while ago as a hoax. Such a place certainly did exist at one point; see [1], [2] and [3].

Hi there SOWHY, VASCO from Portugal here,
I sent a message to User:NuclearWarfare regarding some issue, and he politely redirected me to you. Without further delay, i explain to you like i did to him. There is this highly annoying user, Zombie433. Not a vandal, no sir, but i feel he has the approach of treating WP as his personal site, with as little interaction as possible. I have sent him messages about overlinking, other users have addressed him about unreferenced BLP's, he does not care, he removes messages and does not respond. How to find that? Easy as you very well know (blessed be EDIT HISTORY - in this case that of a given user talkpage, and also that of user who sends original message).
He also claims to be a "LEVEL 4" in English, he is not (a 2 would be most generous!), so he continues to engage in overlinking, writing appalling sentences in articles, and when people try to (politely) address him, he does not care. Ah, he also writes ZERO edit summaries.
I had the idea of contact another polite German user, Hubschrauber729, but he has vanished into thin air - no edits in nearly four months. It consisted of sending ZOMBIE a message in German (i can speak a little, but i want no errors nor misunderstanding in what i want to convey) and see what he had to say (although i believe he CAN understand Simple English, he just cannot be bothered to interact).
Can you please send him a message (obviously saying it's from me)? Basically, to tell him that he should refrain on his overlinking and talking on present tense in an encyclopedia (i am not worried at all about the lack of summaries, as long as the work is neat, not the case from him, at all). I want to make sure it's just a matter of language barrier, although i am sure it is not.
Don't go through the trouble of watching his talkpage my friend, i will. If he, as i expect, removes your message and leaves it without answer, then we will know with what kind of user we are dealing with.
Thank you very much in advance, keep up the great work - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 00:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, a good example of very poor English would be this one, brace yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jordi_Figueras_Montel&diff=344686800&oldid=344010564
He also (forgot to mention that in original message to you) removes English-speaking REFS and replaces them with foreign ones (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=On%C3%A9simo_S%C3%A1nchez&diff=354291436&oldid=354210835); whilst his ref-adding is appreciated, NONE are in English.
Today, he received another message in his talkpage and removed it again ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Zombie433&diff=364093603&oldid=364076446), without answering. Of course it is not forbidden per WP rules SOWHY, i just find his lack of will to engage in wiki-activities quite strange, that's all.
Ah, and the most important: NEVER did i imply i would like for you to write a message, period. No my friend, i wrote (i hope ;) clearly i would like for you to translate my message, telling exactly it was from User:VascoAmaral - me :) - However, seeing his continuing antics (no will to reply to anything, removing messages from other users), i guess i will give up, and will, like so many editors do to as many others, revert/ignore (no reason to block here whatsoever). Of course, some edit summaries i make upon reverting his stuff are showing my growing frustration because there is no way of communicating with this person (me, myself, i sent him three polite messages, ALL three removed within hours/minutes, no words added).
Thanks for your help and politeness all the same, all the best, be safe,
From Portugal - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 16:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I definitely nead a bridge between me and ZOMBIE, and if he refuses it, i'll stick to reverting him. Please reply once you read this, and i'll give you a small message for him if you agree. Regards, VASCO - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 17:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I guess i'll go back to where i began in this case, WP provides "undo" options and, in my case, the much better "rollback", i think i can handle it more or less well with Zombie that way (he does not want to talk, why should i?). In your case, nothing more than a thousand thanks for all your dilligence and politeness! Danke sehr!!
From Portugal, keep up the great work, all the best - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 14:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
I came to ask why my article was deleted. being my first article i was unaware of all of the possible criteria for deletions. i read your "read here" page and afterwards realized how my article was infringing on these criteria. is it possible to have the article restored for adjustment. i mainly forgot to include Jacob Hesters significance. I presume this is the main reason for deletion as in no way does the article suggest bad things about him. also beacause of the lack of sources. As there is next to no information stored anywhere on the internet (and i have searched everywhere) it is hard to source information except from first hand confrontations with him which for me are very rare and i have to travel a great distance to see him. if there are any other guidelines i may have missed please bring them to my attention so that my article can be appropriately edited to fit the guidelines requested by Wikipedia.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to tell you about my plans for a WikiProject! Well, it's already been created, actually, but of course your thoughts are always welcome. Let me know what you think of
WikiProject Talk pages.
I proposed it back in January, and I was about to declare the proposal successful when I realized I was almost at my 1,000th edit – so I told myself my 1,000th edit would be the creation of the project's page, no matter what. And because of my procrastination on that, I ended up basically forcing myself on a 3-month wikibreak. Then one day I remembered it and decided to make it happen – and now I'm back!

SoWhy - Thank for your participation and support in my RfA.
I can honestly say that your comments and your trust in me are greatly appreciated. I was actually quite worried when I read your comments about this recent tagging because I usually have a process that I follow for copyvios and I couldn't imagine how I could have gotten that one so wrong. During the RFA I went to the user's talk page to see if I could figure out what went wrong and noticed that they had a blank userpage which they had been using as a sandbox. It is some of the revisions on their userpage that appear to be a direct cut/paste from that site.
So, the short version is that you were absolutely right - the article namespace page definitely did not qualify for db-copyvio. I can only guess that I saw their userspace edits as well and didn't notice that they had already modified the article page to be (perhaps) different enough from a copyright perspective. Anway, thanks for your support and for keeping me on my toes. Please let me know if you ever have any suggestions for me as an editor, or comments based on my admin actions.
Thank you! 7 23:45, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, like I said, Wikipedia is not a news service, as WP:NOTNEWS notes. Furthermore, as you must know, edits must be accompanied by a reliable source to back them up, and these are almost never available for matches while they are in play. Finally, scores are not official until the referee submits his match report, so if a match is abandoned part-way through and people have been updating the score, their edits will, in fact, have turned out to be false. – Pee Jay 15:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Where else can we put the prose about the matches occurring during the World Cup? I can't think of any other articles we have where it could fit other than below the match summaries.

Hi, I added a "hangon" tag to my Viaspace article because somebody incorrectly flagged it for speedy deletion. I was just wondering, am I supposed to keep the "hangon" tag on my article each time I reply to a response in the discussion section of the Viaspace page. Or, since I already added the "hangon" tag once to the article, now that you removed it, it is implied that I am objecting to deletion and that it is no longer necessary to have that tag?
Also, someone in the Viaspace view history section has a "declining db-spam" message. Does this mean they are in the process of removing the mark for deletion flag?
How do I take action to get this removed from my article? Thanks. CleanFuture ( talk) 02:21, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I just checked back through my records and discovered that you had declined a SD against this article, as it seemed to be a notable person. I just wish to clarify with you that the Speedy wasn't placed due to notability issues, it was placed because it was a BLP where the entire article was plagiarised from a website about this guy. It was up for CSD as G12, Blatant Copyvio and CorenSearchBot had also tagged it. It was also, at the time, unsourced, other than the copyvio article it came from. I do AGF, but I'm not entirely sure reduce to stub was the best course of action in this case. Thanks anyhow. BarkingFish Talk to me | My contributions 15:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you are the person that I should be writing. Although I'm a huge wikipedia fan, I'm ignorant with regards to proper protocol. I thought you should know that I recently went to the Los Angles Film Festival LA premiere of a documentary titled Climate Refugees. Before the screening the filmmaker Michael Nash was honored with "The Conservation Champion Award" by Senator Barbara Boxer. The film really illuminates what I have been researching for over a decade. Once home, I wanted to do research on the filmmaker Michael Nash, found plenty of really solid data online. Then, I was surprised to find that wikipedia had cancelled his name. Perhaps there is good reason, I don't know...you might want to google "michael nash climate refugees" or "michael nash fuel" or "michael nash climate refugees reuters" or "michael nash copenhagen united nations" or "michael nash sundance climate refugees". As a researcher myself, thought you would welcome my findings. Best JY —Preceding unsigned comment added by JackYipps ( talk • contribs) 06:38, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I informed ratemouth my feelings he reverted, he won't talk to me what am I supose to do?

And don't say it's in the episode guide it's done really badly. Please don't say blocked for edit warring cause I was being bullyed, and have had no trouble since, I am reaching out to you now reach back to me I am being nice. Ratemought has said previously grammatical errors which he has been incorrect of. I said to ratemouth 'Stop editing for 2 reasons. 1) The grammer is the wrong tense, and you change it and insist that it's a spelling error your wrong, everyone else is correct. And about River implied she died is right as this is the exact words about the exploding TARDIS Amy: That's River, how can she be up there? Rory: Must be like a recording or something. Doctor: No it's not. It's the emergancy proticals of course the TARDIS sealed off the control room to save her, she is right at the heart of explosion.'

This whole section is a Neologism that a number of users are trying to use to game Wikipedia by using Circular sourcing. The redirect has been placed by one of the users in order to further that aim.

I know from experience that you are one of the more thoughtful Wikipedia editors, willing to examine evidence rather than leap to conclusions, so I'm very puzzled by this edit. I can only assume that you couldn't understand most of the sources linked by the Google News search in your deletion rationale, but you shouldn't be presenting things that you don't understand as evidence in favour of any position, and in particular in favour of the position implied by the WP:PROD tag that this is an uncontroversial candidate for deletion.

In regards to your deletion of the article "Psychography", I believe you were mistaken. A few months ago, I was surprised to find such a complete article about Psychography in the english wikipedia. Positively surprised. I'm an expert in Psychography, and the article showed us the complete picture of the science of Psychography.
Last week, I search for "Psychography" again, and all Wikipedia showed me was a redirection to Automatic Writing - a very small, incorrect and incomplete article. I didn't understand what happened. What I would suggest is that wikipedia return the "Psychography" article as it was before: complete. And REDIRECT the Automatic Writing article to the Psychography article.
Allow me to explain: Psychography is the larger branch, to which Automatic Writing is just a small part. Psychography encompasses Automatic Writing, Semi-Automatic Writing, Mechanical Writing and Inspired Writing. For this reason, it is more correct to make Automatic Writing a part of the Psychography article, and not the other way around.
Not doing this would be a loss to Wikipedia, since it will deny its users access to complete information.

Hi,
I have seen that you have decided to endorse the deletion of the Rachael Faye Hill article. I was wondering how you came to this conclusion as there was no consensus to delete the article in the first place? There is also on-going, large scale media coverage that moves this article away from the BLP1E argument.
Also, in the article above this DrV, Milowent overturned a deletion with the following explanation:
Overturn: There was no consensus to delete this article. The closing admin's opinion that deletion was appropriate is a valid opinion, but the sum of good faith editor contributions to the discussion did not approve deletion - Milowent.
This is exactly the same situation as with the Rachael Faye Hill article - no consensus was reached at either the AfD or DrV stages, so how can you move to delete the article? There are numerous media references and sources that give the article notability.
I would really appreciate this page being reinstated as other editors and myself feel that the article gained a suitable level of notability and the event was of a significant level.
Please please!

I've seen that the page was deleted due to not having enough sources. So, I searched around for some and found this one source, which I think should be considered highly reliable since I have seen it used as a source on other articles. --> http://people.famouswhy.com/nonnie/ Also, I have been informed that her profile will be shortly added to allmusic.com.

Some contributors to the motto of the day project choose mottos that they have created or mottos that they like as their mottos to live by on the wiki. Sounds like a good idea, right? Maybe you want one? Oh, darn. You're completely stumped! You know what it wants to express, but you can't find it in your head what it actually will come out to be. Well, you can rely on the more experienced users to help you! We can create a motto, original or quoted, with any subject or message that you choose. All you have to do is go to the requests page, fill out a form, and presto! Within a day or two, you will have a custom motto, delivered to you on your talk page in the template of your choice. It's as simple as that! Simple visit WP:MOTD/MS to get your very own motto! Kayau Voting IS evil 02:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi SoWhy! You were the first of three admins to block IP User:138.162.8.57, back in November, 2008. As you'll see from the talk page for that IP, the vandalism has been ongoing, and continues to the present. I'm not sure who to disclose this to - I chose you because you appear to be the most experienced and/or active of the three admins - but I felt I should tell someone this: I looked up the whois info for the Navy Network Information Center, the "owner" of that IP, and e-mailed the two addresses that looked like admins for the Center about this ongoing problem.
My e-mail was respectful, well-documented, it disclosed that I'm just another volunteer editor without official status, was sent from the pseudonymous gmail account associated with my presence here, etc, etc. I did my best, in other words, but if I've perhaps violated some policy I'm unaware of in sending it, I'd like to know that. I'd also be pleased with any correction or criticism you might have to offer about this, as well, of course; I'm not so very experienced an editor, and am not an admin. Anyway, if you ( or any other admin ) would like to see that e-mail, please let me know and I'll be glad to mail you a copy. Best, – OhioStandard ( talk) 00:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello!

Hi, SoWhy; thanks again for your earlier block of this guy. He came back, vandalizing again, and another admin blocked him a fifth time, for two weeks. But I did a little more poking around, and found he has some IP socks, too, and that he used one of them to evade both your block and the current one, and continued vandalizing with it. If you can find the time, would you mind taking a look at this ANI post and seeing whether you're willing to block the socks, too? There seem to be almost no actual admins at ANI these days; a lot of users have commented, but no admins.

Thanks for uploading File:Doctor Who 2010 series logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Hi SoWhy
I went to create a page for Roger Friedman and it said you had previously deleted a page for that name. I was wondering if you deleted the page for a different person and if not, why you deleted the page? He broke the story of Michael Jackson's death, covered the OJ/MJ trials and started a journalism site that has affected many different people globally. He is comparable to Nikki Finke who has a wiki page.

Hi there, I was wondering if you would be willing to review your decision to promote this guideline?
It was promoted by a narrow consensus at the time, and you made very clear that further work was needed. This has not happened, and furthermore two or three editors have taken ownership of the guideline, refusing to countenance any change to this piece of scripture. The big problem is that for sports that haven't been worked on (most notably association football), this guideline hardens what was previously a soft rule. Articles that very marginally pass this guideline are being kept at deletion discussions, regardless of the fact that they do not meet the GNG. Example.
For what it's worth, my personal opinion is that all parts of a guideline should be fit for purpose. I would therefore recommend a review of the whole thing, identifying which parts work pretty well and/or fall in line with pan-wiki views, and which parts do not work well and/or do not fall into the broader view on notability, and then splitting the page into a guideline and an essay. If this course of action were taken, it might in turn necessitate additional wording here. I can state as a matter of fact that this guideline IS routinely used to override the GNG, and that this routinely succeeds, so stronger language is also needed in the lead to reinforce that this mustn't happen.
Worthy of consideration is that approximately 1 in 16 of all identified unreferenced BLPs are association football bios. That's a shocking and shameful statistic. It clearly demonstrates that the notability bar for footballers is hopelessly out of touch with the general community view on notability. For my part I have tried to raise the question of notability several times in the past at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, where unsurprisingly football editors are happy with the way that their sport is currently covered compared to other fields, and (although I accept that I have been too aggressive about it) at WT:NSPORTS, where any dissent from the legislature is shot down regardless of who is dissenting and what tone they use.
Thank you for your time. Regards, -- W F C-- 17:11, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I was randomly browsing around, following MessageDeliveryBot, and I came across your List of declined speedies. I noticed that I was on the list for Tyler Yarema - CSD A7. Actually, I wasn't the one that tagged the article - that would be User:RichardLowther. I merely reverted the original author's edit, since he had removed the CSD tag while putting on the hang on. That was about a year ago, but I'd just like to make that little correction. Anyway, please see the automated message above. Thanks. Netalarm talk 04:20, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

A similar situation is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Steed (Young adult novels), in which I declined the CSD and then waited for someone else to nominate for deletion. I first explained why I had declined the CSD, then later posted a delete rationale. (It was eventually deleted, though that's not really the point.) I don't think people ding you for being unsure, although I personally prefer to think of it as "developing consensus". Frank | talk 17:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
The workings of the speedy deletion process are too arcane for me (and likely for the vast majority of us uninitiated editors) but I think that opposing otherwise qualified candidates because of a few, or even many, mistagged articles is not a good idea. Not only because it will encourage editors, at least those interested in becoming admins, to be overly conservative in their tagging, but also because the speedy deletion process needs ambitious tagging for it to work well. The process has two parts, a tagging part and a deletion/keep part, and, if we're to get anywhere near some kind of optimum deletion zone, the tagging part should be aggressive and should send many more articles to the deletion/keep part than will actually be deleted. I would go so far as to say that, an rfa candidate with quite a few mistagged articles is probably a better candidate than one who has few or none, other things being equal. Just a thought. -- RegentsPark ( talk) 17:55, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. This probably seems a bit random, but can you take a look at User talk:Vejvančický#Have you ever considered... please? I'm trying to convince V that he would make a good admin, but he's concerned that not having English as his first language might be a barrier.

Hi there SoWhy! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Why 20:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Dear Editor,
I was wondering if you could clarify why a previous article entitled "Industrial Quick Search" was deleted and review a submission on a similar topic for me? I have a copy of the old article, though a former employee rather than myself wrote it. I'm not sure I fully understand the verification requirements as such. This is the page I would like to create in place of the original:
"Industrial Quick Search® is collection of vertical directories listing products and services representing a diverse resource for North American industrial, commercial and original equipment manufacturers and service providers. Using a patented methodology (Patent #7,483,872), both Industrial Quick Search® and the IQS® Directory provide roll-over preview ads which allow buyers to quickly and efficiently evaluate potential vendors and compare multiple suppliers in detail. Premium listings on IQS® supply buyers with the information to send a request for quote, call and link to the companies website as well as view CAD drawings, PDF’s, catalogs, videos, e-commerce, press releases, equipment, capabilities, certifications, sales representatives and distributor locations.
IQS® uses Google search technology including Google’s search appliance which provides fast, relevant searches of the many categories and companies listed on the site.
Industrial Quick Search® continually strives to provide more time efficiencies for today’s busy buyers. The site recently added company product categories and launched several upgrades such as radial search using Google map technology as well as implementing the IQS® Newsroom to improve online visibility for both clients and consumers."
I would really appreciate any feedback on what I'm doing right/wrong so that this page can be created without deletion. Many thanks! IndustrialQS ( talk) 13:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey,
Regarding this edit of yours: The eighteenth legion was indeed spelled XIIX, not XVIII, in contemporary inscriptions. I don't know how familiar you are with Latin, but the Romans did not always adhere to the same rules we learned, and in addition, many contemporary inscriptions and documents are full of errors even when one applies the "standards" of that time. In the case of legion XIIX, it was however not an error, but the deliberate, common spelling of the legion's name, and it appears that it is used that way in modern secondary literature, too ( (quick books.google search). I therefore think the spelling "XIIX" should be restored. Regards Skäpperöd ( talk) 06:26, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

What happened? I got the notification about the deletion. I put a hangon petition and added a response about its purpose and the page was deleted without anybody responding to my explanation. Can you at least userfy the page? It was not an orphan page, but part of a project about all the diferent National Greek umbrella organizations. I think it could meet the notability requirements after I had finished working on it. I had already created the navigation template with the orgs. I was working on the articles for the org members. I mean, the article received the deletion notice not one minute after I saved it.-- Coquidragon ( talk) 23:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I have a favor to ask, that is if you can and if you are willing. I don´t know how this would work.

I left a message at Soumyasch talk page, who was the admin who deleted the page, but there is a message there that says "I am no longer actively editing on Wikipedia, though out of sheer habit, still check my watchlist regularly and sporadically fix a mistake/vandalism or two."

Some of the sources that I wanted to use are clearly out. In-particular the video, it seems to be posted from his personal studio making it a bias opinion. (gone) Unsourceable blogs, (Gone)...
What I found that really can bite my teeth in, are the direct photo-credit and links to both Vogue Italian and the Fashion Database owned by Style.com- they show Mr. Sabal as a contributor to two of the best fashion magazines in the world. Also the Models.com website is an industry standard for both the fashion coverage and editorial database show the Vogue contributions. He seems to have the fashion creditably as a "notable" fashion photography contributor. At one time the "Seth Sabal" article was clearly ill-considered and seemed even by my accounts as self-promotion, that is not the case in present-time with bona fide sourcing. I wish to adhere to the reliable facts on the artist, and rewrite the article. Thank you for your help, how should I proceed? Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 16:48, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Im back! :-) Please take a look at this, it's to the point, referenced well and I'd love your advice and critique. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fashionhound1985/Seth_Sabal Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 23:51, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I need your help sowhy, I am confused on how to nominate this article to be undeleted. Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 23:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the time on this article.
I surmise, written correctly this article should fall easily the guideline for notability. I will continue to source and move forward, like you have suggested.
Sabal, most importantly a contributor to Vogue and major advertisements. (This is very well documented.) I highly respect your opinion and would love to understand your reasoning behind not finding him notable enough for the article. I really would like to make this article something all "Can bite their teeth into." I have looked at the history on this artist, and found quite a bit of contention to this article. I was actually a little bit shocked to see how contributors have not really given this article a fair shot, It seems that I can find so much on this artist. Much, much more than many photographers in the section. I am hoping to come to a middle ground and understand how I can make this work, the artist merits the section. Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 00:09, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Very well, I am starting to understand what you are saying, I will find what you are asking for. The Miranda Kerr thing is shot by Sabal, it shows him in the video credits, and so is the Nordstom Advertisement. I will find articles about the photographer. The IMDB database is edited by subscribers and could say anything you are totally right on that. Model.com and MyFDB are independently owned and only reference accredited magazine editorials like Vogue and others, and show the links to the magazine and where they are sourced from. Maybe its best to source the Magazine webpage directly. Like Vogue Italia's Link showing Sabal's work. http://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-curvy/glam-and-curvy/2010/02/lizzie-miller If you go to the studio images, and click the downarrows you can see the photo credits to Sabal. If you have the magazine you can actually see his credits in print. I am going to work on this as best I can, thank you for the guidance and support. Anything else you think I should include? Fashionhound1985 ( talk) 21:02, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Good evening, I'm thinking about recreating the article of "GSG9 tactical boot by Adidas". This article has been deleted in 2009 due to advertising. Would that be o.k. to give this article another chance? And do you happen to still have any information about that article?

Hi there SOWHY, VASCO from Portugal here,
I sent a message to User:NuclearWarfare regarding some issue, and he politely redirected me to you. Without further delay, i explain to you like i did to him. There is this highly annoying user, Zombie433. Not a vandal, no sir, but i feel he has the approach of treating WP as his personal site, with as little interaction as possible. I have sent him messages about overlinking, other users have addressed him about unreferenced BLP's, he does not care, he removes messages and does not respond. How to find that? Easy as you very well know (blessed be EDIT HISTORY - in this case that of a given user talkpage, and also that of user who sends original message).
He also claims to be a "LEVEL 4" in English, he is not (a 2 would be most generous!), so he continues to engage in overlinking, writing appalling sentences in articles, and when people try to (politely) address him, he does not care. Ah, he also writes ZERO edit summaries.
I had the idea of contact another polite German user, Hubschrauber729, but he has vanished into thin air - no edits in nearly four months. It consisted of sending ZOMBIE a message in German (i can speak a little, but i want no errors nor misunderstanding in what i want to convey) and see what he had to say (although i believe he CAN understand Simple English, he just cannot be bothered to interact).
Can you please send him a message (obviously saying it's from me)? Basically, to tell him that he should refrain on his overlinking and talking on present tense in an encyclopedia (i am not worried at all about the lack of summaries, as long as the work is neat, not the case from him, at all). I want to make sure it's just a matter of language barrier, although i am sure it is not.
Don't go through the trouble of watching his talkpage my friend, i will. If he, as i expect, removes your message and leaves it without answer, then we will know with what kind of user we are dealing with.
Thank you very much in advance, keep up the great work - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 00:08, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, a good example of very poor English would be this one, brace yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Jordi_Figueras_Montel&diff=344686800&oldid=344010564
He also (forgot to mention that in original message to you) removes English-speaking REFS and replaces them with foreign ones (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=On%C3%A9simo_S%C3%A1nchez&diff=354291436&oldid=354210835); whilst his ref-adding is appreciated, NONE are in English.
Today, he received another message in his talkpage and removed it again ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:Zombie433&diff=364093603&oldid=364076446), without answering. Of course it is not forbidden per WP rules SOWHY, i just find his lack of will to engage in wiki-activities quite strange, that's all.
Ah, and the most important: NEVER did i imply i would like for you to write a message, period. No my friend, i wrote (i hope ;) clearly i would like for you to translate my message, telling exactly it was from User:VascoAmaral - me :) - However, seeing his continuing antics (no will to reply to anything, removing messages from other users), i guess i will give up, and will, like so many editors do to as many others, revert/ignore (no reason to block here whatsoever). Of course, some edit summaries i make upon reverting his stuff are showing my growing frustration because there is no way of communicating with this person (me, myself, i sent him three polite messages, ALL three removed within hours/minutes, no words added).
Thanks for your help and politeness all the same, all the best, be safe,
From Portugal - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 16:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I definitely nead a bridge between me and ZOMBIE, and if he refuses it, i'll stick to reverting him. Please reply once you read this, and i'll give you a small message for him if you agree. Regards, VASCO - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 17:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I guess i'll go back to where i began in this case, WP provides "undo" options and, in my case, the much better "rollback", i think i can handle it more or less well with Zombie that way (he does not want to talk, why should i?). In your case, nothing more than a thousand thanks for all your dilligence and politeness! Danke sehr!!
From Portugal, keep up the great work, all the best - -- Vasco Amaral ( talk) 14:14, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
I came to ask why my article was deleted. being my first article i was unaware of all of the possible criteria for deletions. i read your "read here" page and afterwards realized how my article was infringing on these criteria. is it possible to have the article restored for adjustment. i mainly forgot to include Jacob Hesters significance. I presume this is the main reason for deletion as in no way does the article suggest bad things about him. also beacause of the lack of sources. As there is next to no information stored anywhere on the internet (and i have searched everywhere) it is hard to source information except from first hand confrontations with him which for me are very rare and i have to travel a great distance to see him. if there are any other guidelines i may have missed please bring them to my attention so that my article can be appropriately edited to fit the guidelines requested by Wikipedia.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot to tell you about my plans for a WikiProject! Well, it's already been created, actually, but of course your thoughts are always welcome. Let me know what you think of
WikiProject Talk pages.
I proposed it back in January, and I was about to declare the proposal successful when I realized I was almost at my 1,000th edit – so I told myself my 1,000th edit would be the creation of the project's page, no matter what. And because of my procrastination on that, I ended up basically forcing myself on a 3-month wikibreak. Then one day I remembered it and decided to make it happen – and now I'm back!

SoWhy - Thank for your participation and support in my RfA.
I can honestly say that your comments and your trust in me are greatly appreciated. I was actually quite worried when I read your comments about this recent tagging because I usually have a process that I follow for copyvios and I couldn't imagine how I could have gotten that one so wrong. During the RFA I went to the user's talk page to see if I could figure out what went wrong and noticed that they had a blank userpage which they had been using as a sandbox. It is some of the revisions on their userpage that appear to be a direct cut/paste from that site.
So, the short version is that you were absolutely right - the article namespace page definitely did not qualify for db-copyvio. I can only guess that I saw their userspace edits as well and didn't notice that they had already modified the article page to be (perhaps) different enough from a copyright perspective. Anway, thanks for your support and for keeping me on my toes. Please let me know if you ever have any suggestions for me as an editor, or comments based on my admin actions.
Thank you! 7 23:45, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Well, like I said, Wikipedia is not a news service, as WP:NOTNEWS notes. Furthermore, as you must know, edits must be accompanied by a reliable source to back them up, and these are almost never available for matches while they are in play. Finally, scores are not official until the referee submits his match report, so if a match is abandoned part-way through and people have been updating the score, their edits will, in fact, have turned out to be false. – Pee Jay 15:10, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Where else can we put the prose about the matches occurring during the World Cup? I can't think of any other articles we have where it could fit other than below the match summaries.

Hi, I added a "hangon" tag to my Viaspace article because somebody incorrectly flagged it for speedy deletion. I was just wondering, am I supposed to keep the "hangon" tag on my article each time I reply to a response in the discussion section of the Viaspace page. Or, since I already added the "hangon" tag once to the article, now that you removed it, it is implied that I am objecting to deletion and that it is no longer necessary to have that tag?
Also, someone in the Viaspace view history section has a "declining db-spam" message. Does this mean they are in the process of removing the mark for deletion flag?
How do I take action to get this removed from my article? Thanks. CleanFuture ( talk) 02:21, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I just checked back through my records and discovered that you had declined a SD against this article, as it seemed to be a notable person. I just wish to clarify with you that the Speedy wasn't placed due to notability issues, it was placed because it was a BLP where the entire article was plagiarised from a website about this guy. It was up for CSD as G12, Blatant Copyvio and CorenSearchBot had also tagged it. It was also, at the time, unsourced, other than the copyvio article it came from. I do AGF, but I'm not entirely sure reduce to stub was the best course of action in this case. Thanks anyhow. BarkingFish Talk to me | My contributions 15:48, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you are the person that I should be writing. Although I'm a huge wikipedia fan, I'm ignorant with regards to proper protocol. I thought you should know that I recently went to the Los Angles Film Festival LA premiere of a documentary titled Climate Refugees. Before the screening the filmmaker Michael Nash was honored with "The Conservation Champion Award" by Senator Barbara Boxer. The film really illuminates what I have been researching for over a decade. Once home, I wanted to do research on the filmmaker Michael Nash, found plenty of really solid data online. Then, I was surprised to find that wikipedia had cancelled his name. Perhaps there is good reason, I don't know...you might want to google "michael nash climate refugees" or "michael nash fuel" or "michael nash climate refugees reuters" or "michael nash copenhagen united nations" or "michael nash sundance climate refugees". As a researcher myself, thought you would welcome my findings. Best JY —Preceding unsigned comment added by JackYipps ( talk • contribs) 06:38, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

And don't say it's in the episode guide it's done really badly. Please don't say blocked for edit warring cause I was being bullyed, and have had no trouble since, I am reaching out to you now reach back to me I am being nice. Ratemought has said previously grammatical errors which he has been incorrect of. I said to ratemouth 'Stop editing for 2 reasons. 1) The grammer is the wrong tense, and you change it and insist that it's a spelling error your wrong, everyone else is correct. And about River implied she died is right as this is the exact words about the exploding TARDIS Amy: That's River, how can she be up there? Rory: Must be like a recording or something. Doctor: No it's not. It's the emergancy proticals of course the TARDIS sealed off the control room to save her, she is right at the heart of explosion.'

I know from experience that you are one of the more thoughtful Wikipedia editors, willing to examine evidence rather than leap to conclusions, so I'm very puzzled by this edit. I can only assume that you couldn't understand most of the sources linked by the Google News search in your deletion rationale, but you shouldn't be presenting things that you don't understand as evidence in favour of any position, and in particular in favour of the position implied by the WP:PROD tag that this is an uncontroversial candidate for deletion.

In regards to your deletion of the article "Psychography", I believe you were mistaken. A few months ago, I was surprised to find such a complete article about Psychography in the english wikipedia. Positively surprised. I'm an expert in Psychography, and the article showed us the complete picture of the science of Psychography.
Last week, I search for "Psychography" again, and all Wikipedia showed me was a redirection to Automatic Writing - a very small, incorrect and incomplete article. I didn't understand what happened. What I would suggest is that wikipedia return the "Psychography" article as it was before: complete. And REDIRECT the Automatic Writing article to the Psychography article.
Allow me to explain: Psychography is the larger branch, to which Automatic Writing is just a small part. Psychography encompasses Automatic Writing, Semi-Automatic Writing, Mechanical Writing and Inspired Writing. For this reason, it is more correct to make Automatic Writing a part of the Psychography article, and not the other way around.
Not doing this would be a loss to Wikipedia, since it will deny its users access to complete information.

Hi,
I have seen that you have decided to endorse the deletion of the Rachael Faye Hill article. I was wondering how you came to this conclusion as there was no consensus to delete the article in the first place? There is also on-going, large scale media coverage that moves this article away from the BLP1E argument.
Also, in the article above this DrV, Milowent overturned a deletion with the following explanation:
Overturn: There was no consensus to delete this article. The closing admin's opinion that deletion was appropriate is a valid opinion, but the sum of good faith editor contributions to the discussion did not approve deletion - Milowent.
This is exactly the same situation as with the Rachael Faye Hill article - no consensus was reached at either the AfD or DrV stages, so how can you move to delete the article? There are numerous media references and sources that give the article notability.
I would really appreciate this page being reinstated as other editors and myself feel that the article gained a suitable level of notability and the event was of a significant level.
Please please!

Hi SoWhy! You were the first of three admins to block IP User:138.162.8.57, back in November, 2008. As you'll see from the talk page for that IP, the vandalism has been ongoing, and continues to the present. I'm not sure who to disclose this to - I chose you because you appear to be the most experienced and/or active of the three admins - but I felt I should tell someone this: I looked up the whois info for the Navy Network Information Center, the "owner" of that IP, and e-mailed the two addresses that looked like admins for the Center about this ongoing problem.
My e-mail was respectful, well-documented, it disclosed that I'm just another volunteer editor without official status, was sent from the pseudonymous gmail account associated with my presence here, etc, etc. I did my best, in other words, but if I've perhaps violated some policy I'm unaware of in sending it, I'd like to know that.

Hello! I was going by the WP:VG/DATE guideline that says "Whenever possible, the release dates in the lead should be summarized to the year of release, or month and year if further applicable." - surely it makes sense to have just a summary in the intro, with more accurate details present in the infobox, no?

Hi, SoWhy; thanks again for your earlier block of this guy. He came back, vandalizing again, and another admin blocked him a fifth time, for two weeks. But I did a little more poking around, and found he has some IP socks, too, and that he used one of them to evade both your block and the current one, and continued vandalizing with it. If you can find the time, would you mind taking a look at this ANI post and seeing whether you're willing to block the socks, too? There seem to be almost no actual admins at ANI these days; a lot of users have commented, but no admins. ( The post may have rolled off into archives by the time you get this message and go looking for it. ) Best, – OhioStandard ( talk) 06:42, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Doctor Who 2010 series logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk 05:11, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi SoWhy
I went to create a page for Roger Friedman and it said you had previously deleted a page for that name. I was wondering if you deleted the page for a different person and if not, why you deleted the page? He broke the story of Michael Jackson's death, covered the OJ/MJ trials and started a journalism site that has affected many different people globally. He is comparable to Nikki Finke who has a wiki page.

Hi there, I was wondering if you would be willing to review your decision to promote this guideline?
It was promoted by a narrow consensus at the time, and you made very clear that further work was needed. This has not happened, and furthermore two or three editors have taken ownership of the guideline, refusing to countenance any change to this piece of scripture. The big problem is that for sports that haven't been worked on (most notably association football), this guideline hardens what was previously a soft rule. Articles that very marginally pass this guideline are being kept at deletion discussions, regardless of the fact that they do not meet the GNG. Example.
For what it's worth, my personal opinion is that all parts of a guideline should be fit for purpose. I would therefore recommend a review of the whole thing, identifying which parts work pretty well and/or fall in line with pan-wiki views, and which parts do not work well and/or do not fall into the broader view on notability, and then splitting the page into a guideline and an essay. If this course of action were taken, it might in turn necessitate additional wording here. I can state as a matter of fact that this guideline IS routinely used to override the GNG, and that this routinely succeeds, so stronger language is also needed in the lead to reinforce that this mustn't happen.
Worthy of consideration is that approximately 1 in 16 of all identified unreferenced BLPs are association football bios. That's a shocking and shameful statistic. It clearly demonstrates that the notability bar for footballers is hopelessly out of touch with the general community view on notability. For my part I have tried to raise the question of notability several times in the past at Wikipedia:WikiProject Football, where unsurprisingly football editors are happy with the way that their sport is currently covered compared to other fields, and (although I accept that I have been too aggressive about it) at WT:NSPORTS, where any dissent from the legislature is shot down regardless of who is dissenting and what tone they use.
Thank you for your time. Regards, -- W F C-- 17:11, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
I am going to be posting this on multiple editor talk pages to get some discussion going.

Hi! I was randomly browsing around, following MessageDeliveryBot, and I came across your List of declined speedies. I noticed that I was on the list for Tyler Yarema - CSD A7. Actually, I wasn't the one that tagged the article - that would be User:RichardLowther. I merely reverted the original author's edit, since he had removed the CSD tag while putting on the hang on. That was about a year ago, but I'd just like to make that little correction. Anyway, please see the automated message above. Thanks. Netalarm talk 04:20, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

A similar situation is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Steed (Young adult novels), in which I declined the CSD and then waited for someone else to nominate for deletion. I first explained why I had declined the CSD, then later posted a delete rationale. (It was eventually deleted, though that's not really the point.) I don't think people ding you for being unsure, although I personally prefer to think of it as "developing consensus". Frank | talk 17:00, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
The workings of the speedy deletion process are too arcane for me (and likely for the vast majority of us uninitiated editors) but I think that opposing otherwise qualified candidates because of a few, or even many, mistagged articles is not a good idea. Not only because it will encourage editors, at least those interested in becoming admins, to be overly conservative in their tagging, but also because the speedy deletion process needs ambitious tagging for it to work well. The process has two parts, a tagging part and a deletion/keep part, and, if we're to get anywhere near some kind of optimum deletion zone, the tagging part should be aggressive and should send many more articles to the deletion/keep part than will actually be deleted. I would go so far as to say that, an rfa candidate with quite a few mistagged articles is probably a better candidate than one who has few or none, other things being equal. Just a thought. -- RegentsPark ( talk) 17:55, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. This probably seems a bit random, but can you take a look at User talk:Vejvančický#Have you ever considered... please?

Hi there SoWhy! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.
On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.
Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.
Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Why 20:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Dear Editor,
I was wondering if you could clarify why a previous article entitled "Industrial Quick Search" was deleted and review a submission on a similar topic for me? I have a copy of the old article, though a former employee rather than myself wrote it. I'm not sure I fully understand the verification requirements as such. This is the page I would like to create in place of the original:
"Industrial Quick Search® is collection of vertical directories listing products and services representing a diverse resource for North American industrial, commercial and original equipment manufacturers and service providers. Using a patented methodology (Patent #7,483,872), both Industrial Quick Search® and the IQS® Directory provide roll-over preview ads which allow buyers to quickly and efficiently evaluate potential vendors and compare multiple suppliers in detail. Premium listings on IQS® supply buyers with the information to send a request for quote, call and link to the companies website as well as view CAD drawings, PDF’s, catalogs, videos, e-commerce, press releases, equipment, capabilities, certifications, sales representatives and distributor locations.
IQS® uses Google search technology including Google’s search appliance which provides fast, relevant searches of the many categories and companies listed on the site.
Industrial Quick Search® continually strives to provide more time efficiencies for today’s busy buyers. The site recently added company product categories and launched several upgrades such as radial search using Google map technology as well as implementing the IQS® Newsroom to improve online visibility for both clients and consumers."
I would really appreciate any feedback on what I'm doing right/wrong so that this page can be created without deletion. Many thanks! IndustrialQS ( talk) 13:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the feedback. A company similar to ours has a page on wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomasnet, that I thought was similar to what I wrote above.

I did this at Henderson Police Department, with a note on the article talk page about more that could go in later, in response to the A1 nom at Scandals and allegations of the Henderson Police Department which I later redirected here. Should I have done something with the talk page of the redirected page? My thought was that if the page creator really intends to come up with a laundry list of the police department's sins that the stuff I added to the department article might get moved back over there.

Hey,
Regarding this edit of yours: The eighteenth legion was indeed spelled XIIX, not XVIII, in contemporary inscriptions. I don't know how familiar you are with Latin, but the Romans did not always adhere to the same rules we learned, and in addition, many contemporary inscriptions and documents are full of errors even when one applies the "standards" of that time. In the case of legion XIIX, it was however not an error, but the deliberate, common spelling of the legion's name, and it appears that it is used that way in modern secondary literature, too ( (quick books.google search). I therefore think the spelling "XIIX" should be restored. Regards Skäpperöd ( talk) 06:26, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
