Hi,
Just to let you know that I declined the speedy deletion of La prepago, as it was not a copyright violation of this page. If you click on the "Continue Reading" and scroll down to the bottom of the text, it states that the content is from Wikipedia, licensed under CC-BY-SA, and links back to La prepago. Stephen!

Thank you for interesting of our mine. I am working at Sangdong Mine, and I would like to introduce our mine to Wikibia. We received updates from the company and updated it on Wikipedia, but every time we update it, the content is deleted and I am deeply concerned. Younghyun.ju ( talk) 02:30, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

I did with people in the Hartford article. Those television radio people I removed, only worked in Hartford. Their articles aren't even categorized People from Hartford. WikiProject Cities guidelines [2] say born or lived. We don't categorize athletes as being from Foo just because they played for one of Foo's sports teams. Otherwise long time no see. Hope all is well with you. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 20:31, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Senario Lagi. I do not think that Senario Lagi fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because No source was listed, and earwig's detector found no plausible source. If this was a copyvio, of what?. I request that you consider not re-tagging Senario Lagi for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page, or at least indication what is being infringed in some way.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2017).
Hello. You have deleted the draft of the Jason J Smart article ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Jason_J_Smart). I am the new editor who will create the similar page in Russian, so I'd like to restore the previous draft to have all the links it contains and to translate the page. Can you, please, check it? Thank you. Nickybond ( talk) 23:23, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Sphilbrick - would you be so kind and take a look at
Colorado Museum of Natural History, and let me know what you think. While using the curation tool, I tagged it for speedy using the closest thing that addressed the problem (db) since it was initially published as an article when it probably should have been a db, but the latter is questionable. An IP removed the tag, and created a TP. Another editor came along and added the db template to the article. The IP commented again on the TP. I'm of the mind that either way, article or db, the page is not needed since the names to db are not the same. I question the intent necessity of the page. Thanks in advance.

Here. It's a helluva bizarre page. Just FYI. Take care! — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 02:32, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Sphil,
I sent you an email that touched on my viewer account. Please let me know what you might think about that sometime within the next week or two.
Thanks,

My schedule now requires that I be off for 7 days (except for one more visit at 05:00 UTC tomorrow/ this evening.) Again I thank you for all of your considerations and quite helpful thoughts thus far in this. You continue to amaze me. Honestly!
I will be back next Thursday. I welcome all actual consideration of these concepts, that I have put forward here. Please don't focus on the messenger, as is the time honored but oh so counterproductive habit of mind currently in place at WP. How many messengers has WP buried thus far in similar cases, allowing the real work of any real consideration of their actual proposals, to be lazily buried along with their now lifeless sadly EFT'ed wiki-bodies, I can only imagine? Sorry about that. I just had to get in the last jab, I guess. I will certainly look forward to seeing whether or not my wiki-body yet survives next week? Scott P. ( talk) 19:53, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
Sphil, things seem to be moving more quickly than either of us had probably expected. The people who think they are our opposition have made their first open move now. I will be back here on your talk page at 7 pm eastern. They think they are a rule unto themselves, and I have good reason to believe that they may be the root cause of much around here. If they are the ones I have a history with, then I have beaten them before, so to speak, and that was when I still believed in actually fighting fire with fire. Now I believe in using a far better remedy, I know that while they may think I am their enemy, they are not mine. Please review this link and see what you think for yourself. /info/en/?search=User_talk:Rex_Iudaeorum
Hi Sphil,
I apologize for not being here at 7 ET. Unfortunately a small unexpected thing came up with my business, which required immediate attention. I've spent probably 50 hours on this little project over the last week, and unlike some here who appear to have unlimited resources, I must pay my bills just like everyone else. So, after a bit of time just now to try to figure out the specifics of how exactly my message to Rex disappeared, here is something I have noted. This is all technical stuff. You see, I know nearly zilch about the guts of WM software. All I know is that I've installed it and operated it a bit once or twice, but the code of it, which I believe was PHP, I have never deeply explored. At any rate, to simplify here: All I can say for certain is that my message to Rex disappeared from his page, and while reviewing the page history, I can no longer find it. The edit sequence I first pointed to may have been my own doing, but still, I know for certain that my message was erased there. Could someone please go through this complaint of mine with me in a serious fashion? Hoping someone over on the admin side will come through for this.
Thanks kindly,
Scott P. ( talk) 02:54, 13 May 2017 (UTC) (8 PM Pac Time, 11 PM Eastern Time)
PS: On Saturday (tomorrow) I should be pretty free all day, and will monitor WP on at least an hourly basis.

I recently tried my hand in uploading posters to movies. However after I uploaded 3 posters, I realised that policy dictates that posters should be <100K px. I have subsequently updated newer revisions of posters which meets the said criteria. Please have the earlier revisions deleted, according to WP:F5 or WP:F3. Images include - File:Anarkali of Arrah poster.jpg, File:Lakshyam 2017 poster.jpg and File:Godha 2017 poster.jpg. Jupitus Smart 13:47, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I am the administrator at Mirus Academy high school, and I just realized our wiki page was deleted over a year ago. When I look at the messages, it implies that the page had never been approved, but I know that on August 26, 2015 I was able to see it on Wikipedia, so I am feeling confused. Is there anyway to restore it? Here is the message I see when I try to access it:
This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference. 13:33, 1 September 2015 Sphilbrick (talk | contribs) deleted page Mirus Academy (U.S) (Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Orangemoody) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slhogan94 ( talk • contribs)

Hi Sphilbrick. I see that you supressed some edits to English people as copyright violations of http://collegestudentforlife.blogspot.com/2015/02/england.html. That site looks like it's a copy of our England article though, so I think the copying was the other way around in this instance. Cordless Larry ( talk) 15:09, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

@ Sphilbrick: Hello. These articles should not be deleted because it's part of the bibliography of the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Joy Fielding. You can delete the synopses of books if you think it's a direct copy from a website and consider it as WP:G12, but removing the articles from Wikipedia would be destructive for the encyclopedia.

WP:BLP is also implicated on non biographical pages.
