Hey SoWhy, thanks for deleting all of those spam edits - I appreciate your work on that. Happy editing to you! - FlyingToaster ( talk) 22:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Re this: is the final warning for 206.166.49.31 on 23 September not recent enough to count? So that I can make appropriate reports in future, it would be helpful to know how recent it has to be. Many thanks. — Alan ✉ 17:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Are silly headings allowed on your talk page?
Why can't I undo this edit? I wasn't aware of a restriction on image talks? Or is it because it's the first edit? And, on a side note, would you agree with removing the comment, or would you leave it? Maedin\ talk 18:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello SoWhy, I politely disagree to that, because the user missuses his userspace to promote himself, he had tried an article about himself, which got deleted Jomaine, and does now use the userspace for having an article about him, this is no testing there, just a promotinal site, which he can do on Geocities or Myspace if he wants to.

Just because a crappy version of an article was speedy deleted does not mean that all links to the topic need to be deleted. It is a legitimate topic for a less crappy article. older ≠ wiser 22:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
greetings SoWhy, i just noticed you declined the speedy and wondered if you noticed that this page has already been speedied once (i nominated it that time too) and all the author did was ask for a copy of it to be placed on their talk page whereupon they just recreated the page again without modification. does that make any difference? cheers Mission Fleg ( talk) 08:20, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Don't you think this block is a little harsh [1] considering that the previous block of this ip [2] was 8 months ago. I've seen more profane trolling and vandalism receiving considerably less block time. IMHO, page blank vandalism, after months of inactivity does not warrant a 6 month block. -- Flewis (talk) 12:18, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
I think that you need to check nexxt1, he is being very disruptive. I have reverted Nexxt 1’s edit as he is using dubious sources like medical and geography books as references for Indian religions. He is not bothering to reply or enter into debate on his sources on talk pages but is making wild accuations that User:Mitsube is my sock. He removed all the warnings from his pages and also the fact that he has been banned many times and once indefinately. -- Anish ( talk) 19:35, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

The spoiler warning in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines has nothing to do with why I removed the text. There is too much game guide information in that article as is, and that entire section involves actions the player make take in the end-game. These actions are irrelevant to the description of the character, as that particular section is meant to do. If a player wants to find details on how to approach the end game, they may do so by looking at Bloodlines fan sites or walkthroughs.
Even so, I also don't think it's appropriate for users to be whiting out text on Wikipedia, to be read only on selection. - FeralDruid ( talk) 09:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I didn't delete, btw. If you look at the plain text, and particularly the accompanying sentence, you can see it is selectable, what I call 'invisible ink'. This gives the option of having the text visible or not, and the sentence includes instructions. I haven't actually looked yet to see whether you reverted or not. There was also a lot of other good info in the edit.

How do you know the relevance of the Speedometors article? Are you an expert on music of seventies/the scene/London? Do you know these people? How many published songs have you written? I know the layout sucked but I'm a little busy mixing a record at the moment and thought some of you experts may help. My intention was not to promote any band or person but to supply information that links or will link to other entries on the site. IE: Checkout Elliott Comprehensive school in the Pearce Brosnan entry. Speedo Robbie Watson appears in the school alumini along with Pearce. It seems there are a lot of people out in Wiki-land (sic) who like to brag about themselves on their user page but are short on substance. I will not be submitting anymore articles I'll save them for the book. Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by Speedo89 ( talk • contribs) 18:39, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I would like to ask you to reconsider the deletion of the Wikipedia page about the film artist David Russell. I have edited the page to remove promotional-sounding language, and replaced it with quotes from actual articles published about David Russell, and included references. I have also made links to the main source of information about David Russell, www.imdb.com, the reputable film industry data base that lists all credits and publicity about David Russell.
Please review the page as it is now and let me know if I need to make any additional changes to conform the page to the Wikipedia standards.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would remove the deletion warning from the page.
Sincerely,
Nancy Lennon <E-Mail removed> Crvenka ( talk) 01:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
(same message to three deleting admins) Hello all. Just letting you know that I have restored the article Speedometors which all three of you speedy deleted (two A7s and one A3). I don't object to submitting the article for deletion but clearly there was a claim of notability and 1970s bands that anyone still cares about probably is notable enough by the fairly generous standards of the en.wiki! I'll try to solidify the article with a few references. Pascal.Tesson ( talk) 17:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

You said "here is no reason why this should qualify as CSD#G11".
I was going through images. Found this: Image:EJWells.jpg uploaded by User:Bocadiablo. Summery says: this is my image, owned by me, from my website...www.ejwells.net. Image is being used on E. J. Wells (musician) page. Page was created by User:Loreleishannon. I looked at users history: Special:Contributions/Loreleishannon and see there was some sort of disupute with D'Amico so I followed that and read the talk page. A post made under the header "Not All Guys Named E.J. Wells are fictional" was signed "Preceding unsigned comment added by Bocadiablo". So I look at [ Bocadiablo history]. SO now I take a close look at the main article. Look at the External links: E. J. Wells Official site, E. J. Wells studio page (Basic Rates: $35/hr $240/8 hr day in case you wanted to know.), and E.J Wells online store at CD Baby. (Which currently goes to a "Sorry! You found a bad link" page) Under "References" we see "Arduser, John" with a link to the main page of "Ruin Records". If you go back up to the top of the article you read: Happyland Studio has recorded and you will see him listed. Next is "Garcia, Larry". However you click on the link and there is nothing on that person. It is the E. J. Wells bio and booking information page. If you click on the "CD Available" link there you are taken to the "Ruin Records" page. But not the main page, a merchandise page listing the E. J. Wells CD as well as other projects. For shits and grins I looked at the "history" page where you will find that E. J. Wells has a connection to that label...so much so that on the "Contact" page you have a rather large "Email E.J Wells" link. ( Contact Image).
So there you have it. I was not looking to randomly make a G11 claim however show me where the people who were involved in this are not involved and how any of the links are not advertising. It is clever I give you that, but it is pretty clear when you start clicking around to find the NPOV citations and links they aren't there. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 21:15, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Why did you delete Raappana after I had deleted the article about a Finnish reggae musician and remade it as a redirect to Erkki Raappana? You cite the reason Doesn't indicate importance or significance of a real person. Is the commander of the 14th Division, one of the most famous generals in the Winter War, not enough important or significant? I agree that the contemporary reggae artist who uses the artist name Raappana is not notable enough, but surely Erkki Raappana (whose real surname is Raappana, not like that reggae artist guy) is? There are other cases of the surname alone redirecting to the most famous person holding it. For example, Kekkonen redirects to Urho Kekkonen, the 8th President of Finland. It is only at Kekkonen (disambiguation) that you find a link to Mariah Kekkonen, a Finnish female porn star. JIP | Talk 20:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry I was acting like an asshole in my last message (Thanx a lot). You are right, I should not have been so nonchalant. I knew that the article wasn't gonna last 5 minutes, I just wanted to see how long it would last. I thought that it would've lasted long enough for me to continue editing it. Instead of thinking it through, I took it out on you just because I was having a bad day, and you should not have been subjected to that. So I hope you accept my apology for my poor response to the absolute truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BendyMcFoulFowl ( talk • contribs)

P.S. You can reply - or not - here on your own talk page; I will come back to check it.
Sorry to drag you into this, but since you've already deleted File:CynthiaBumperSticker.jpg, you're passingly familiar with the situation. The above user has immediately followed that earlier action up by uploading File:CynthiaMcKinney.jpg, another self-made political advertisement. Accordingly, I've tagged it for deletion and warned him on his talk page about his present behavior. Do you mind reviewing my warning and keeping an eye on this user? As I state in my warning, this sort of thing really can jeopardize our nonprofit status, which would be bad.

I have added the article as I found this link in wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rokop_J%C3%B3zsef&action=edit&redlink=1 and noted that there was no article on J. Rokop. I worked for J. Rokop at Rokop Corproation from 1975 through 2002 (under the names Techint & VAI Pomini from 1998 to 2002) and KNOW that he was a Hungarian freedom fighter and came from Sopron.
He was/is noteworthy because of his contributions to the worldwide steel industry in general and to continuous casting in particular.

Hi, how's it going?
I recently warned an anon editor for vandalizing a page, and reverted the edit as well. The editor then proceeded to mess with the code on my talk page, which I consider vandalism. Now, I didn't warn him for doing that, because I'm not sure it is appropriate. I mean, maybe it's seen as being impartial or something on my part... Is it? I'm not sure what to do. Should I warn him anyway? Should someone else?
I appreciate your input on this matter :)

"SoWhy"? do you think Match Attax is of uttermost importance that it isn't speedily deleted from wikipedia? Does it contain encyclopedic content? Does it assert notability??? Why waste time with an AFD if we know what the Snowball outcome will be? Blofeld of SPECTRE ( talk) 14:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi SoWhy
Thanks for your note.
I would like to understand what you mean by "assertion of notability can in most cases be derived from the positions the person held." Do you mean that by stating any position of responsibility is claim of notability? Where is the line drawn at what positions are inherently notable? WP:BIO#Diplomats seems to believe that notability does not derive from position alone, which led me to conclude that assertions of position for most diplomats are not assertions of notability for them, as no inference of notability under that criterion can be drawn. I would be particularly interested in how positions such as Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Strategic Planning, Assistant Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management, or Assistant Secretary-General for Human Resources Management could possibly give rise to an inference of notability. Could you please comment further?
Not that it's dispositive, but three other admins deleted other similar articles on my CSD nominations.

Hi SoWhy, I was just looking for sources for this article when I found it had been deleted. Surely saying that it's a manufacturer of luxury cars is an indication of importance/significance - people don't manufacture luxury cars in their bedrooms.

Hi!
You blocked the above editor after he was reported to AIV for vandalism on Papa Dee. I think he deserved a block but I disagree with an indef block as a vandalism only account because the issue was really a content dispute.
If you want to peruse through the recent history of Papa Dee, you will see that there has been a fair amount of edit warring over a single paragraph having to do with his arrest and subsequent conviction on domestic abuse which even caused the article to be semi-protected at one point. One of Ehausler's first edits on that article was this removal of the controversial paragraph in which he stated his reasons for deletion. Since then, he was one of many editors who blatantly edit warred over the same issue. Yesterday, I issued a 3RR warning to him and Nisken ( talk · contribs) for having made 7 reverts each within the last 24 hours. Nisken took my warning seriously and stopped edit warring and started discussing the issue with myself and another editor in a most civilized manner for which I commended him. Ehausler, however, continued edit warring.
Ehausler most definitely deserves a 24h block for 3RR/edit warring but I don't believe his edits were made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia and I, therefore, find the indefinite block for vandalism to be too harsh. He was one of the many edit warriors on that article within the last few weeks and he should be prevented from causing further damage to the article for the time being but we should also assume good faith that he meant to help the project by protecting an article from a perceived WP:BLP violation, no matter how misguided his attempts were.

Why is it of no significance, it is the only showcase of talent in the island at this time. Would you like references for it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian M.S. Royer ( talk • contribs) 21:02, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
I didn't delete, btw. If you look at the plain text, and particularly the accompanying sentence, you can see it is selectable, what I call 'invisible ink'. This gives the option of having the text visible or not, and the sentence includes instructions. I haven't actually looked yet to see whether you reverted or not. There was also a lot of other good info in the edit.

How do you know the relevance of the Speedometors article? Are you an expert on music of seventies/the scene/London? Do you know these people? How many published songs have you written? I know the layout sucked but I'm a little busy mixing a record at the moment and thought some of you experts may help. My intention was not to promote any band or person but to supply information that links or will link to other entries on the site. IE: Checkout Elliott Comprehensive school in the Pearce Brosnan entry. Speedo Robbie Watson appears in the school alumini along with Pearce. It seems there are a lot of people out in Wiki-land (sic) who like to brag about themselves on their user page but are short on substance. I will not be submitting anymore articles I'll save them for the book. Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by Speedo89 ( talk • contribs) 18:39, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I would like to ask you to reconsider the deletion of the Wikipedia page about the film artist David Russell. I have edited the page to remove promotional-sounding language, and replaced it with quotes from actual articles published about David Russell, and included references. I have also made links to the main source of information about David Russell, www.imdb.com, the reputable film industry data base that lists all credits and publicity about David Russell.
Please review the page as it is now and let me know if I need to make any additional changes to conform the page to the Wikipedia standards.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would remove the deletion warning from the page.
Sincerely,
Nancy Lennon <E-Mail removed> Crvenka ( talk) 01:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
(same message to three deleting admins) Hello all. Just letting you know that I have restored the article Speedometors which all three of you speedy deleted (two A7s and one A3). I don't object to submitting the article for deletion but clearly there was a claim of notability and 1970s bands that anyone still cares about probably is notable enough by the fairly generous standards of the en.wiki! I'll try to solidify the article with a few references. Pascal.Tesson ( talk) 17:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

You said "here is no reason why this should qualify as CSD#G11".
I was going through images. Found this: Image:EJWells.jpg uploaded by User:Bocadiablo. Summery says: this is my image, owned by me, from my website...www.ejwells.net. Image is being used on E. J. Wells (musician) page. Page was created by User:Loreleishannon. I looked at users history: Special:Contributions/Loreleishannon and see there was some sort of disupute with D'Amico so I followed that and read the talk page. A post made under the header "Not All Guys Named E.J. Wells are fictional" was signed "Preceding unsigned comment added by Bocadiablo". So I look at [ Bocadiablo history]. SO now I take a close look at the main article. Look at the External links: E. J. Wells Official site, E. J. Wells studio page (Basic Rates: $35/hr $240/8 hr day in case you wanted to know.), and E.J Wells online store at CD Baby. (Which currently goes to a "Sorry! You found a bad link" page) Under "References" we see "Arduser, John" with a link to the main page of "Ruin Records". If you go back up to the top of the article you read: Happyland Studio has recorded and you will see him listed. Next is "Garcia, Larry". However you click on the link and there is nothing on that person. It is the E. J. Wells bio and booking information page. If you click on the "CD Available" link there you are taken to the "Ruin Records" page. But not the main page, a merchandise page listing the E. J. Wells CD as well as other projects. For shits and grins I looked at the "history" page where you will find that E. J. Wells has a connection to that label...so much so that on the "Contact" page you have a rather large "Email E.J Wells" link. ( Contact Image).
So there you have it. I was not looking to randomly make a G11 claim however show me where the people who were involved in this are not involved and how any of the links are not advertising. It is clever I give you that, but it is pretty clear when you start clicking around to find the NPOV citations and links they aren't there. Soundvisions1 ( talk) 21:15, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Why did you delete Raappana after I had deleted the article about a Finnish reggae musician and remade it as a redirect to Erkki Raappana? You cite the reason Doesn't indicate importance or significance of a real person. Is the commander of the 14th Division, one of the most famous generals in the Winter War, not enough important or significant? I agree that the contemporary reggae artist who uses the artist name Raappana is not notable enough, but surely Erkki Raappana (whose real surname is Raappana, not like that reggae artist guy) is? There are other cases of the surname alone redirecting to the most famous person holding it. For example, Kekkonen redirects to Urho Kekkonen, the 8th President of Finland. It is only at Kekkonen (disambiguation) that you find a link to Mariah Kekkonen, a Finnish female porn star. JIP | Talk 20:53, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry I was acting like an asshole in my last message (Thanx a lot). You are right, I should not have been so nonchalant. I knew that the article wasn't gonna last 5 minutes, I just wanted to see how long it would last. I thought that it would've lasted long enough for me to continue editing it. Instead of thinking it through, I took it out on you just because I was having a bad day, and you should not have been subjected to that. So I hope you accept my apology for my poor response to the absolute truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BendyMcFoulFowl ( talk • contribs)

Sorry to drag you into this, but since you've already deleted File:CynthiaBumperSticker.jpg, you're passingly familiar with the situation. The above user has immediately followed that earlier action up by uploading File:CynthiaMcKinney.jpg, another self-made political advertisement. Accordingly, I've tagged it for deletion and warned him on his talk page about his present behavior. Do you mind reviewing my warning and keeping an eye on this user? As I state in my warning, this sort of thing really can jeopardize our nonprofit status, which would be bad.

I have added the article as I found this link in wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rokop_J%C3%B3zsef&action=edit&redlink=1 and noted that there was no article on J. Rokop. I worked for J. Rokop at Rokop Corproation from 1975 through 2002 (under the names Techint & VAI Pomini from 1998 to 2002) and KNOW that he was a Hungarian freedom fighter and came from Sopron.
He was/is noteworthy because of his contributions to the worldwide steel industry in general and to continuous casting in particular.

Hi, how's it going?
I recently warned an anon editor for vandalizing a page, and reverted the edit as well. The editor then proceeded to mess with the code on my talk page, which I consider vandalism. Now, I didn't warn him for doing that, because I'm not sure it is appropriate. I mean, maybe it's seen as being impartial or something on my part... Is it? I'm not sure what to do. Should I warn him anyway? Should someone else?
I appreciate your input on this matter :)

"SoWhy"? do you think Match Attax is of uttermost importance that it isn't speedily deleted from wikipedia? Does it contain encyclopedic content? Does it assert notability??? Why waste time with an AFD if we know what the Snowball outcome will be? Blofeld of SPECTRE ( talk) 14:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi SoWhy
Thanks for your note.
I would like to understand what you mean by "assertion of notability can in most cases be derived from the positions the person held." Do you mean that by stating any position of responsibility is claim of notability? Where is the line drawn at what positions are inherently notable? WP:BIO#Diplomats seems to believe that notability does not derive from position alone, which led me to conclude that assertions of position for most diplomats are not assertions of notability for them, as no inference of notability under that criterion can be drawn. I would be particularly interested in how positions such as Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Strategic Planning, Assistant Secretary-General for General Assembly and Conference Management, or Assistant Secretary-General for Human Resources Management could possibly give rise to an inference of notability. Could you please comment further?
Not that it's dispositive, but three other admins deleted other similar articles on my CSD nominations.

Hi SoWhy, I was just looking for sources for this article when I found it had been deleted. Surely saying that it's a manufacturer of luxury cars is an indication of importance/significance - people don't manufacture luxury cars in their bedrooms.
This is the first source that I found. Please could you restore this so I can get on with some constructive editing?

Hi!
You blocked the above editor after he was reported to AIV for vandalism on Papa Dee. I think he deserved a block but I disagree with an indef block as a vandalism only account because the issue was really a content dispute.
If you want to peruse through the recent history of Papa Dee, you will see that there has been a fair amount of edit warring over a single paragraph having to do with his arrest and subsequent conviction on domestic abuse which even caused the article to be semi-protected at one point. One of Ehausler's first edits on that article was this removal of the controversial paragraph in which he stated his reasons for deletion. Since then, he was one of many editors who blatantly edit warred over the same issue. Yesterday, I issued a 3RR warning to him and Nisken ( talk · contribs) for having made 7 reverts each within the last 24 hours. Nisken took my warning seriously and stopped edit warring and started discussing the issue with myself and another editor in a most civilized manner for which I commended him. Ehausler, however, continued edit warring.
Ehausler most definitely deserves a 24h block for 3RR/edit warring but I don't believe his edits were made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia and I, therefore, find the indefinite block for vandalism to be too harsh. He was one of the many edit warriors on that article within the last few weeks and he should be prevented from causing further damage to the article for the time being but we should also assume good faith that he meant to help the project by protecting an article from a perceived WP:BLP violation, no matter how misguided his attempts were.
