I believe your category Category:Characters in The Faerie Path is not truly a valid Wikipedia character, as it contains only 1 page, and that is a user page. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 00:20, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Howdy. With regards to this edit, you added an invalid template. The file could not be deleted due to that template for 2 reasons. The first is that the file was just uploaded today. F6 applies to files that are at least 7 days old. Also, F6 only applies to files where fair use is claimed. There was no license applied to the file nor was there a text claim of fair use being made. All that being said, I do agree that the file should deleted, but you may want to be a bit more careful of your F6 tagging in the future.-- Rockfang ( talk) 03:51, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Hallo from Sydney, Australia (hence the odd time stamp). Thank you for your talk page comment about avoiding editing wars with anonymous editors. I've been editing this page in particular for over a year now; I've added a lot including references, and I try to make some explanatory note on the talk page. Unfortunately, another couple of IP-address-only editors have again been deleting material, without leaving any explanation as to why. To me this seems close to vandalism. Both of these IPs are in the US, using the geolocate tool; I don't know if they're on campuses or private. Would you be able to consider rolling back to your own last edited version, please. --DavidB 07:09, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
An administrator "Shii" has reverted the article and blocked vandalism for a week, apparently at your request. Many thanks. --DavidB 04:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

When you place a speedy deletion request, you must include in the edit summary that you are doing so,to help us admins see things quickly when we check. (ah, I see someone else mentioned it to you--Twinkle does help that. Just ignore the features you don't want to use). Incidentally, the bar for speedy A7 is not notability, but the much lower standard of having any indication of significance or importance, & to assert that someone has written several published books is such an indication.

Hi mate, I do not understand why my Biological Functionalism article is tagged as requiring more references or sources for verification. My article is composed of 7 sentences, yet it has 5 references. Surely this is enough. I do not understand what more I need to do for this tag to be removed. My references are from reputable academic sources. Could you please explain to me what is wrong with the article? Cheers! Higginson21 ( talk) 21:12, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
The expansion tag is a different issue. I still do not understand why there is a tag claiming that more references are needed. There are 7 sentences in the article, 5 of which have a citation after them. Surely this is enough. I believe that the tag should be removed. Cheers. Higginson21 ( talk) 10:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for removing the tag! I hope I didn't come across as aggressive; this was not my intention. I appreciate your comments on the article. Thanks!. Higginson21 ( talk) 04:14, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for patrolling new pages. However, you recently flagged Classic Dance of Love as CSD A3, which is meant for pages without content. That was not the case, as the page contained an infobox at the time you flagged it. I therefore removed the CSD template. Please, therefore, and study our Criteria for speedy deletion more carefully to avoid premature deletion of the wrong pages. — Sebastian 18:20, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

hello my friend, just visited your talk page. I see you are doing the same job as i do, new pages and recent changes patrolling. They seem to be some familiarity in characters you deal with and those i deal with. Most characters or contributors whose articles are deleted are new contributors, with nothing on their pages, poor contributing history and so on. please continue doing this vital job in defending credible knowledge. Well done. Freshymail- user_talk:fngosa--the-knowledge-defender 18:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I started a report about it on WP:ANI. Joe Chill ( talk) 16:16, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I am a little surprised with your treatment on User talk:JAMESJERLIN over his creation of the article Vadakkanadu, and for another on your use of rollback - for example the first edit that got caught up in the rollback [1] simply added the name of the nearest city and parliament something. What harm does it do to put the page on your watch list and clean it up a bit? The rule (seldom followed) is that good faith edits are never reverted, they are instead revised. That is what you did the first time, but not later. I really don't see how you expect a new editor to have any clue about what references are and how to find them. Apteva ( talk) 17:58, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
The article Chenkody has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}

edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{

will stop the
Proposed Deletion process, but other

When you moved Norman Lamont to Norman Lamont (1942), and then changed the old title into a disambiguation page, you inadvertently failed to check the 100+ other Wikipedia articles that contain links to the old title and fix them to link to the new title if appropriate. Of course, it is possible that some of those links were referring to a different "Norman Lamont," so they each need to be checked individually, but it is very likely that the great majority of them were referring to the Conservative ex-Chancellor and so need to be revised to link to that article. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 13:00, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Sometimes, being turned back at the door isn't such a bad thing |
That the image is orphaned is a fact, nothing there to misrepresent. You may not have realized it but orphan notice has a 7 day timer specifically to give any case of contended orphaning a chance to get worked out: it's not, by itself, a speedy deletion notice when it is added. The notion that the person orphaning the image can't place the orphan notice is new to me, and at odds with the long standing use of the template.
In any case— the fair-use tag provided was obviously invalid: the use disagreed with the clear language on the tag itself, a speed deletion criteria had I been looking for one. The timer is a pretty reasonably measure to make sure that images aren't left dangling while giving people a chance to sort out anything that needs to be sorted out.
If I've managed to clear up a concern that the tag would cause an excessively hasty deletion, I'd appreciate it if you'd revert your reversion of the tag.
Cheers.-- Gmaxwell ( talk) 22:18, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I am really, really, really sorry! I've been duped! I have to confess that I did not read "This". I thought that you had admitted to being rude. As it turns out I was played false. You were not rude.

Over the evening I thought about this a bit more and decided it would be sensible to have other admins keep an eye on this individual too; see the bottom of Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (I stupidly made it impossible for the link to take you directly there, sorry).

In one of your edit summaries to the above article, you said the content from [2] is licensed under the Creative Commons license. There doesn't seem to be a CC notice on that website, so how do you know it's been released under that license? Regards, The leftorium 16:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for taking my feedback in the right spirit. Some further view:
Again, I am pointing all these out only as a form of feedback to you, since I consider you to be a very good future RFA candidate. However, as I stated in my oppose, I think you would gain from further mainspace experience so that you know what kinds of conflicts arise in practice and how they are best handles - keeping our encyclopedic aims foremost. In case your RFA doesn't pass this time (or even if it does!), I would recommend that you involve yourself more in mainspace editing, or if that doesn't hold your interest, at least at the NPOV, BLP, RSN, Fringe noticeboards to broaden your experience. And of course, continue to do what you enjoy here! Cheers.
PS: Not all admins and RFA reviewers will agree with my viewpoints expressed above or at your RFA page, so don't take these to be the "correct" answers.

I am sorry to inform you that your RfA did not demonstrate that there was consensus among the participants that you should be given the admin tools at this time. I understand that this is both disappointing and frustrating, and as someone who failed RfX's myself, I can empathize. I may give you some unasked for advice, I would suggest to take a day or three to allow the emotions to subside a bit, and then re-read the opinions so as to best identify the areas in which the community feels you have the most room for improvement. Working on those areas over a significant period of time will be the most efficient way for you to become an editor whom the project would want as a sysop.

I hope you don't mind me commenting here, to spare the AfD from further bloat. I agree that Chzz didn't make the right decision when he deleted all but the first sentence - he should have deleted that as well, as it wasn't sourced either :). To be accurate, he actually left the See also, External links and categories as well! Seriously though, had he subsequently sent the article to AfD, I'd be more inclined to agree with your conclusion about his intentions. As it is, it looks like was following what seems to be his usual routine in patrolling new pages: CSD the non-notable; trim and prod if that's declined. I should make the disclaimer that I don't know Chzz from Adam; but I think the pile-up opposes over what I see as trivial concerns has touched a raw nerve with me.

Hey there. I saw your comment on my talk page and certainly welcome your comments - I seem to recall a recent RfA that had issues due to the nominee having had issues with CSD tagging, as well as of course your RfA in which comments were made concerning a lack of CSD/page deletion policy knowledge. I tagged that article with a small amount of deliberation; as Twinkle does not contain every category in its CSD tagger I was left somewhat uncertain about whether it was nonsense or a test page. That said, the idea of a king chinchilla did seem rather nonsensical to me, hence me tagging it as such. The problem with G1, I suppose, is that it implies the article text must be something along the lines of "asdi;ghowerughlaskbvlauyrgli;uasdf" to be tagged under that category. Upon further review of the category, though, I'm still left questioning: "with no meaningful content or history" seems to be at issue with "excludes poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, implausible theories, vandalism and hoaxes, fictional material, coherent non-English material, and poorly translated material." In the end, you are probably right in saying it should have been tagged as G2; given the contradictory nature of G1 it would have indeed been more wise to tag it as a test page and avoid any potential drama. Too, using A1 is always troublesome; it identified the subject but lacked anything in the way of clarification. -sigh- CSD tags need to be less dramatic and more clear cut, lest we revisit your and -whomever it was'- RfA. I hope this comment makes sense as a whole; feel free to respond with any thoughts you have. -- tennis man 13:42, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Of course you are aware that I spoke for you in your recent RfA; I meant it, and I rarely notice or contribute to RfAs so was happy to have the opportunity to speak for you at yours. I'm sorry that yours didn't succeed, but I think the short time you've been contributing was a factor. (Apparently quality was not as much of a factor.) What I'm wondering is, now that the dust has settled, is there anything that you think you might like to work on, and is there any way in which I can assist you? I have to say that my perception has been that "admin coaching" is not looked upon as being appropriate by everyone who contributes to RfAs. I myself benefited immeasurably from that type of relationship with User:Pedro and would like to "pay it forward", but you may think that the drawbacks outweigh the potential benefits. You might also consider that I'm not that widely-experienced an admin and so my assistance would be limited to my areas of experience. But if there's something I can do to help you, let's talk; I think you will be a good admin and I would like to see you get the mop if you still want it.

I appreciate the warning, but I'll ask that you assume good faith. It appears that you are able to ascertain my intentions, and if there are any questions they should be directed to the respective discussions. The COA I have is in my disagreement with the policy, not it's application. If the consensus is that the two female Sgts are notable because of their gender I'm happy to go with that, but then the distinction needs to be made more clear in the articles themselves. As a scholar of military history I'd be happy to do that editing myself, but as I've stated in many places: We need a clear standard. Since much of the pushback on these two articles mirrors my own feelings, I started a debate on the WP:N page you may want to join in on. Thanks for your attention, and thank you for your service to our country! Rapier1 ( talk) 22:58, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
You deleted the info i provided with Gurais article.

Please take me on good faith on this, I am not trying to start an argument. I am trying to understand a difference for future AfD discussions.
You replied to my comment in the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Perm_Lame_Horse_club_fire discussion where I mentioned that this event was similar to the Rhode island fire earlier this decade. I mentioned that without pointing to the article (honestly, I didn't even know if an article on that existed until after I posted my comment) only for a point of comparison. You called that out as classic WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. i know the argument well and avoid it whenever possible. But at what point can one use an article for comparison in discussions? I am asking you in particular because you stated your case with a comparison to the bubble boy article. Again, this may read as an attempt to start an argument, and I assure you it is not. I just want to understand the difference between the acceptability of one and not the other.
Thanks.

I think Hullaballoo did a good job explaining what was wrong about your answer.

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.
A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;
You are receiving this message as you have voted in VOTE 3 at the Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll.
It has been pointed out that VOTE 3 was confusing, and that voters have been assuming that the question was about creating an actual two-phase CDA process. The question is merely about having a two-phase poll on CDA at the eventual RfC, where the community will have their vote (eg a "yes/no for CDA” poll, followed a choice of proposal types perhaps).
As I wrote the question, I'll take responsibility for the confusion. It does make sense if read through to the end, but it certainly wasn't as clear as it should have been, or needed to be!
Please amend your vote if appropriate - it seems that many (if not most) people interpreted the question in the way that was not intended.

Hi TParis,
you are receiving this message as you voted in VOTE 2 at the recent Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll. Unfortunately, there is a hitch regarding the "none" vote that can theoretically affect all votes.
1) Background of VOTE 2:
In a working example of CDA; ater the 'discussion and polling phase' is over, if the "rule of thumb" baseline percentage for Support votes has been reached, the bureaucrats can start to decide whether to desysop an admin, based in part on the evidence of the prior debate. This 'baseline' has now been slightly-adjusted to 65% (from 70%) per VOTE 1. VOTE 2 was asking if there is a ballpark area where the community consensus is so strong, that the bureaucrats should consider desysopping 'automatically'. This 'threshold' was set at 80%, and could change pending agreement on the VOTE 2 results.
This was VOTE 2;
This is the VOTE 2 question without any ambiguity;
2) What was wrong with VOTE 2?
Since the poll, it has been suggested that ambiguity in the term "none at all" could have affected some of the votes. Consequently there has been no consensus over what percentage to settle on, or how to create a new compromise percentage. The poll results are summarised here.
3) How to help:
Directly below this querying message, please can you;
I realise that many of you clarified your meaning after your initial vote, but the only realistic way to move forward is to be as inclusive as possible in this vote query. Sorry for the inconvenience,
Matt Lewis ( talk) 14:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal was started on the 22nd Feb, and it runs for 28 days. Please note that the existing CDA proposal was (in the end) run as something of a working compromise, so CDA is still largely being floated as an idea.
Also note that, although the RfC is in 'poll format' (Support, Oppose, and Neutral, with Comments underneath), this RfC is still essentially a 'Request for Comment'. Currently, similar comments on CDA's value are being made under all three polls.
Whatever you vote, your vote is welcome!

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 18:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

First off, thank you so much for serving our nation! It is inspiring to know that citizens such as yourself are so willing to place yourselves in harm's way, ESPECIALLY in a time of war. Honestly, I think you should add "Esquire" to the end of your name, as I feel you have certainly distinguished yourself from your peers.
Additionally, I would like to note that your Star Trek fascination is a sign of pure genious. As Dr. McCoy stated in Balance of Terror "In this galaxy there’s a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all that, and perhaps more...only one of each of us. " I think this statement holds especially true for honorable young men such as yourself.

Hello, Staff Sergeant! Happy New Year!<best military voice>
I too was having a look at this 'article'. I note that
Rani Rajendra Kumari was deleted in July 2009(as a Hoax! + BLP issues). There is also an existing article on her 'husband'
Dewan Shatrughan Singh, however unreferenced since created on 30 May 2009! Perhaps you would like to run your eye over this too? Any TalkPage Stalkers are welcome to act too of course!
My feeling is that if this was real, then it would have been subject to a lot of editing by 'Indian' editors, but it has only been edited ≈18 times, including creation! Googling only gets 3,500 hits, which seem to be sites sourcing from Wikipedia.
Both parties mentioned also make unsourced appearances in ALL CAPS on
Kalpi(one ref) and
Kalijar Fort(no refs!), also
Bundelkhand(lower case for once!) More hoaxing?? or POV 'freedom fighter'/'terrorist'?

The idea that someone has recognised and approves of the editing approach I've been applying for the past three years as a registered user, brings with it a great deal of pride. It's a symbol of appreciation and encouragement that comes at a time when my usefulness to the project has been in great self-doubt.

I am not sure if I am doing this correctly, but as the Exective Director of Dragonfly Forest, I was trying to post factual information to Wikipedia to update the page about our organization. I was not trying to post anything that was considered advertising copy. I was just trying to post the facts about our organization so that post on here was correct. There is information that is listed in the profile that was incorrect, and also the page really doesn't describe what we do or who we do it for. If I cannot post this because of a conflict then please feel free to go to www.dragonflyforest.org and create your own posting based on the information you find there. Again my purpose of making these edits was to make the information about our organization as factual as possible.

Hi TParis, I saw the thread on Wikipedia talk:Did you know about expanding articles. I always copy the existing article into one of my sandboxes and do the expansion there, which gives me as much time as I need, without having to worry about the 5 day rule. You have to make sure you take account of any changes to the article before you replace it with the expanded version (just copied and pasted in from the sandbox), but that's no big deal. I always make sure that I leave all the categories and interwikis behind when I copy from the original, to avoid confusion. Cheers, Mikenorton ( talk) 01:10, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Awhile back we clashed slightly over your having taken exception to some links I had made on articles. We came to a peaceful resolution. However, at the time it never occurred to me to look at your user page. I was just reading an article (Jurgen Bartsch) over once again and it reminded me of you.
(You agreed with me here that an unproven claim that Bartsch (a notorious German 60s serial killer of prepubescent boys) had made should be removed from the article as without proof the accusation was potentially libelous, so you removed it in whatever official capacity you hold with Wikipedia.)
Being reminded of this, I was curious and just consulted your user page. It is indeed true that one never knows who one is writing to online unless familiar with him or her. I just wanted to take a moment to commend and thank you for your gallant service to our nation in these troubling and dangerous times. I am a veteran (Navy) and therefore all the more appreciate your service, sergeant.
I was also suspired how young you are. Your apparent intellectual interests and skills belie the myth that enlisted military personnel are dull-witted dregs in the service as a last resort, as Senator John Kerry’s most unfortunate and ill-advised remarks would imply. Godspeed and thank you once again.
By the way, my best friend, a former shipmate, is from The Dalles and his late brother worked for awhile in your hometown. I have enjoyed several wonderful visits to your home state over the years. It is most beautiful and majestic country there. HistoryBuff14 ( talk) 17:48, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

The strikeout was done as an aid to a brand-new editor who very clearly doesn't yet understand how things work around here. Specifically, to reassure him or her that the Speedy call for the article s/he created had been withdrawn. I'm sorry you felt slighted by it, but excessive offence isn't warranted; your advisory post, though it was rendered wholly obsolete by the cancellation of the CSD call, remained fully legible. — Scheinwerfermann T· C 13:12, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

I have previously advised yourselves that the content of the profile appertaining to me contains innacurate information and detail. I have emailed you again todday to advise this fact. Can you please provide me with full details of the person responsible for the content so that I can pass this onto my Solicitor for further action. A copy of me email is below.

I am Bob Newton who is listed in wikipedia on this link.

For a long time someone has been editing this profile and including libellous statements in respect of a conviction for a driving offence. The statement appears every now and again and although I edit this and remove the inaccurate statement it appears again at some point. I have complained about this before and pointed out that the statements being posted are not wholly accurate, relevant or provide the full details of the circumstances.
At the same time as editing the profile to include these libellous statements the person involved is also removing details regarding much of the good work I do for Charity and anything complimentary about me.
Can you please advise how I can stop this from happening?
If I need to employ a Solicitor to enforce some sort of injunction on the person editing this information can you please advise and provide details of his identity.
If you can edit the profile back to its content prior to these statements being amended it would be appreciated.
I look forward to your comments.

Hi.
I wonder if you can help me. Someone has told me on a message board that I've been banned from wikipedia. It could be either from my IP address or that my IP address is blocked in some way. I don't understand why I could be banned from wikipedia as I didn't have a wikipedia account. I have only just set up a new account under the name sunshinemags, but I have not edited any articles yet. I'm not exactly sure what my IP address is. But i do have an IP address number as this number has appeared on a friend's discussion site I posted on. There are other people who live at the same address as me who use the same IP address but they don't have wikipedia accounts and have not made any editing to wikipedia articles in the past. So this is all confusing.
What I would like to know is how do I find out if my IP address is blocked, or blocked in the past, when it was blocked, why it was blocked and who made the request for it to be blocked. I find the instructions on your help page difficult to follow. If my IP address has been blocked for some reason, then how do I make a request to unblock it. Your help will be much appreciated.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Lee bivens, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Hi - I just finished creating a new page on Wiki for "Borden Dairy" with references & citations & was hoping to redirect "Borden (Company)" to it, but you beat me to the punch & did the opposite by redirecting the page I developed to "Borden (Company)".
I do not want to risk being banded from editing as I was given a final warning yesterday when I tried making updates to validate "Borden (Company)" - so can you provide me some recommendations on what I can do?

Hmmm... I'd forgotten about that article. I'd like to enlist your help in resolving the copyright issue.
Here's the background... There is an article on
Paul Cuffee that I had on my watchlist. Somebody complained somewhere on a Wikipedia talk page (I forget exactly where)
On March 9, 2011, User:Paul Cuffe complained about the confusion between the two Paul Cuffee's ( here). In all probability, this user is also the author of this website.
Note that his website explicitly raises the issue that Wikipedia confuses the two Paul Cuffee's:
I had never heard of the second Paul Cuffee before that person raised the issued. I tried to address the issue by creating Paul Cuffee (missionary). I do remember that there was darn little information about this Paul Cuffee and that I was trying to take the facts and make them into a non-copyright infringing article but, with that little information, it was hard to change the expression of the facts much. That said, I'm not disputing that there probably is copyright infringement. I can't really comment as to how much since the article has been deleted. Your comment on the Autopatrolled request page indicates that there was quite a bit of infringement.
Here's how I'd like to ask you to help. There is a desire to have an article on the second Paul Cuffee. Since he has a feast day in the Church of Scotland, he is notable and encyclopedic. We might be able to get the author of the website to make his text free under Wikipedia's CC/SSA license. After all, it was his expressed desire to have Wikipedia make the distinction. If he were to create the article and/or provide its text instead of me doing it, then the copyright problem goes away.
So here is what I propose... please restore the deleted article to my userspace. I will try to contact the author of the website to see if he is willing to put his text under CC/SSA. If not, I will try to rewrite the text so that it doesn't infringe on copyright.

Thank you for your help with making sure that Paper Swan Studios has the correct information and formatting. Currently the process is to make sure the formatting is correct and has a "skeleton" that will be filled in later. It will be a great resource for musicians, songwriters and producers that are looking for information on a variety of singer-songwriters, bands, film/tv placements, etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated as the process of adding a page to wikipedia is new.

Thank you. for your concern and for making sure everything is valid. zztop/Red hot/adele have not worked at paper swan studios. Mariah McManus, Joy Williams of the Civil Wars, Trent Dabbs, Amy Stroup, Tyrone Wells, Andrew Belle etc have worked at paper swan studios with Thomas Doeve. Originally the zztop/red hot/adele etc were merely for formatting sake and as you can see this was started this morning and is still being revised. This is a new process so I appreciate your patience. Currently Paper Swan (Thomas Doeve) has had music used over 30 times in film/television and is very notable to musicians, artists, producers, songwriters, television music supervisors, fans of television shows and film. — Preceding

Morning TParis,
I am very respectful of the daily battle editors wage against self-promotion on Wikipedia, but I having trouble finding anything in there that wasn't neutral. Everything was fact-based, there was no "Best in Class!" or "Revolutionary!" language, and every statement referenced reputable articles from sources like ABC News and NPR. I looked at entries for over a dozen similar companies, and I aimed to err on the site of caution.
Can you please take another look and let me know what didn't come across as neutral? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mphil14 ( talk • contribs) 15:42, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi TParis,
I am contacting you as I saw that you deleted the Douglas A. Phillips' wiki page I created earlier today. I am afraid I don't really understand the reason why you deleted it as Douglas A. Phillips is Managing Partner of WeiserMazars LLP and had plenty of coverage in the press when the merger between Weiser and Mazars happened... Maybe is it because he's mentioned in articles by Accounting Today & Going Concern as Doug Phillips instead of Douglas A. Phillips, his full name? I am just trying to understand in order to avoid the mistakes I made in the future.
Thanks in advance for your answer,
Syllae Syllae ( talk) 15:56, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi again,
Yes, I would like you to make a more indepth review because with all due respect, I have to disagree with the sources being minor mentions... If you check the article from Going Concern (
http://goingconcern.com/2010/04/weisers-doug-phillips-combination-with-mazars-was-the-next-logical-step/) you will see that Doug Phillips' name is included in the title and that he's basically interviewed in the article. He is also mentioned several times in the Accounting today article: (
http://www.accountingtoday.com/news/Mazars-Weiser-Chiefs-See-International-Growth-54178-1.html). He's also a member of several renowned associations. If I created the page as Doug Phillips instead of Douglas A. Phillips, would it be still on? As there are several Doug Phillips already existing on wikipedia, should I add "(businessman)" or something else next to "Doug Phillips" ?
Thanks in advance,

This was my first real contribution to wikipedia. If you have any input as to why the tradehill article seemed too self promotional, I would appreciate the the advice. Much of the information was taken from the company's website as it is fairly new, however I was not trying to advocate for their services over any other, I simply wanted to represent and help fill out an topic that is getting increasing attention and which lacks wiki entries to full explain the issue and the actors in a way that laypeople will understand. Thanks for your input, I hope to improve the entry. ThereNHere ( talk) 18:17, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
You stated that they were unaware of the concept of conflict of interest; however, the user specifically stated that they would not rely on self-published materials to verify the information. The user also stated that they would work to remain as neutral as they could. Suggestions were made on the talk page that all of this user's pages start as userspace drafts. You also pointed out that the user desired to create the articles because other things exist, I don't believe you understood the full context of the user's remarks. They intended more to say that the articles about Shaftesbury Films would be written in a similar style and neutrality to those of Pinewood Studios. I do agree with the procedural decline part because the questions asked by BWilkins were not answered; however, I believe the user should be unblocked as soon as the questions are answered.

TParis, in no way did I ever make an implied threat. While I may be a little blunt and abrasive at times (or maybe I'm just an asshole), because you had just passed your RFA, I tried to treat the situation with kid gloves.
I was also attempting to assume good faith in that you simply misremembered the facts I outlined above when you made this statement here. It is easy to forget a few details here or there and not everyone maintains detailed notes for this sort of stuff (I do, for a number of reasons, although I didn't always).
As far as honest advice goes, this is a two-way street and I gave you my opinion as well. If you choose to ignore and discount it, so be it, but I'd suggest you be much more careful in the future and get your facts correct before you make the sort of statement you made above. Such statements can and do cause problems for other editors. Who knows, it may just be that you've not been around long enough yet to have witnessed people blocked or punished in some way because someone else didn't have their facts together. (If you do decide you want to continue this discussion, perhaps we should take this elsewhere.) -- Tothwolf ( talk) 18:14, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Copied from Master of Puppets talk page--v/r - T P 18:34, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
"I've spoken with you several times during this entire issue and at times you've seemed well mannered and cordial and at other times you've seemed spiteful and angry." Perhaps that is because while I'm generally good natured, if I see someone attempting to game the system or making false or misleading statements (or outright lying), I tend to get very blunt and call someone on it. As I said on M.O.P.'s talk page, while at this point I don't really think it would be worthwhile to get into an "X did this because of Y" sort of discussion over some of the stuff in the Natami AfDs, there were individuals (more than one) there who intentionally made false or misleading statements for various reasons.
Something I probably wasn't clear about when I emailed you is there were other editors who were actually more likely to DRV the close than I was. At the time I had emailed you, I hadn't yet decided if I was going to take the close to DRV. It was only after your reply, and the feedback I got from others that I had decided to take it to DRV, but of course I never got the chance since you relisted it before I could do so :) -- Tothwolf ( talk) 19:15, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
From later discussion on his talk page, IP 76.103.207.254 is new editor User:Gregrank who had made his request at the AFd while not logged in. I would ask that with this new information, a userfication to User:Gregrank/Osulrc-1 might be considered. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
I saw the article on Foreign Exchange F.C CSD, and deleted it for speedy A7. I was then proceeding to the user page of the editor, User:Falc, to try to explain to him why his request to avoid deletion was invalid and the article was hopelessly unsuitable, and I saw you had blocked him indefinitely for removing the speedy notice from the article. I do not consider this a blockable offense, let alone a reason for an indefinite block with account creation disabled, for an editor's first good faith attempt at keeping an article/ True, they editor removed the notice several times. People do not necessarily actually read the warning notices--they look too much like the typical bureaucratic verbiage, not as helpful advice. It is not actually all that disruptive, for the bot always picks it up and the article gets deleted anyway. New editors do not understand things, and they need to be encouraged. Here was someone who mistakenly believed that his club was appropriate for an article, and it presents an opportunity for us to explain to the person the purpose of Wikipedia, with the hope that he will perhaps come to contribute usefully in the future. But here you have probably alienated him forever. Most admins I think would perhaps have blocked him if he had continually recreated the article after deletion, but he did not do that (myself, I rarely block in such a case unless the article is truly disruptive--I just protect against re-creation, which usually communicates the message very clearly, without the need to say anything unpleasant.
You are after all a new administrator and I would normally say that you should have the chance to correct your own errors, but in this case I am simply unblocking and apologizing to the user of behalf of Wikipedia, because I consider this an unambiguous error, and also consider the matter urgent , to prevent us from losing this editor. I do not think this needs to go to AN/I, but of course you are welcome to take it there.
I must place this message on-wiki instead of informing you privately, because I think it's of course necessary to leave a visible record when onw reverta a fellow admin, which not something one does lightly. DGG ( talk ) 03:09, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi TParis. I just wanted to bring this issue to your attention. A couple of days back you granted rollback rights to Gorlack36 ( talk · contribs). However, I see a couple of issues with this. The user is very new and still learning their way around. It is important that rollbackers, who are often the users who first have contact with newbies due to their work in RCP and Huggle, are well versed in Wikipedia policy and have a good amount of experience editing and dealing with troublesome users. In addition, I have concerns that they do not understand the proper use of rollback as an anti-vandalism tool, to be used almost solely for reverting obvious vandalism, or that they have enough knowledge to judge what is vandalism or not. Please see the user's talk page for some examples. I'm not going to take any action myself, but I would ask that you review your decision in light of all of this.

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1] ▪ This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] except for the following: ▪ Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.[note 3] ▪ Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories. ▪ Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city;

Incidentally, the bar for speedy A7 is not notability, but the much lower standard of having any indication of significance or importance, & to assert that someone has written several published books is such an indication.

Hi mate, I do not understand why my Biological Functionalism article is tagged as requiring more references or sources for verification. My article is composed of 7 sentences, yet it has 5 references. Surely this is enough. I do not understand what more I need to do for this tag to be removed. My references are from reputable academic sources. Could you please explain to me what is wrong with the article? Cheers! Higginson21 ( talk) 21:12, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
The expansion tag is a different issue. I still do not understand why there is a tag claiming that more references are needed. There are 7 sentences in the article, 5 of which have a citation after them. Surely this is enough. I believe that the tag should be removed. Cheers. Higginson21 ( talk) 10:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for patrolling new pages. However, you recently flagged Classic Dance of Love as CSD A3, which is meant for pages without content. That was not the case, as the page contained an infobox at the time you flagged it. I therefore removed the CSD template. Please, therefore, and study our Criteria for speedy deletion more carefully to avoid premature deletion of the wrong pages. — Sebastian 18:20, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I am a little surprised with your treatment on User talk:JAMESJERLIN over his creation of the article Vadakkanadu, and for another on your use of rollback - for example the first edit that got caught up in the rollback [1] simply added the name of the nearest city and parliament something. What harm does it do to put the page on your watch list and clean it up a bit? The rule (seldom followed) is that good faith edits are never reverted, they are instead revised. That is what you did the first time, but not later. I really don't see how you expect a new editor to have any clue about what references are and how to find them.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{

the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{

will stop the

When you moved Norman Lamont to Norman Lamont (1942), and then changed the old title into a disambiguation page, you inadvertently failed to check the 100+ other Wikipedia articles that contain links to the old title and fix them to link to the new title if appropriate. Of course, it is possible that some of those links were referring to a different "Norman Lamont," so they each need to be checked individually, but it is very likely that the great majority of them were referring to the Conservative ex-Chancellor and so need to be revised to link to that article. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 13:00, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Sometimes, being turned back at the door isn't such a bad thing |
That the image is orphaned is a fact, nothing there to misrepresent. You may not have realized it but orphan notice has a 7 day timer specifically to give any case of contended orphaning a chance to get worked out: it's not, by itself, a speedy deletion notice when it is added. The notion that the person orphaning the image can't place the orphan notice is new to me, and at odds with the long standing use of the template.
In any case— the fair-use tag provided was obviously invalid: the use disagreed with the clear language on the tag itself, a speed deletion criteria had I been looking for one. The timer is a pretty reasonably measure to make sure that images aren't left dangling while giving people a chance to sort out anything that needs to be sorted out.
If I've managed to clear up a concern that the tag would cause an excessively hasty deletion, I'd appreciate it if you'd revert your reversion of the tag.

Thanks for taking my feedback in the right spirit. Some further view:
Again, I am pointing all these out only as a form of feedback to you, since I consider you to be a very good future RFA candidate. However, as I stated in my oppose, I think you would gain from further mainspace experience so that you know what kinds of conflicts arise in practice and how they are best handles - keeping our encyclopedic aims foremost. In case your RFA doesn't pass this time (or even if it does!), I would recommend that you involve yourself more in mainspace editing, or if that doesn't hold your interest, at least at the NPOV, BLP, RSN, Fringe noticeboards to broaden your experience. And of course, continue to do what you enjoy here! Cheers.
PS: Not all admins and RFA reviewers will agree with my viewpoints expressed above or at your RFA page, so don't take these to be the "correct" answers.

I hope you don't mind me commenting here, to spare the AfD from further bloat. I agree that Chzz didn't make the right decision when he deleted all but the first sentence - he should have deleted that as well, as it wasn't sourced either :). To be accurate, he actually left the See also, External links and categories as well! Seriously though, had he subsequently sent the article to AfD, I'd be more inclined to agree with your conclusion about his intentions. As it is, it looks like was following what seems to be his usual routine in patrolling new pages: CSD the non-notable; trim and prod if that's declined. I should make the disclaimer that I don't know Chzz from Adam; but I think the pile-up opposes over what I see as trivial concerns has touched a raw nerve with me.

Hey there. I saw your comment on my talk page and certainly welcome your comments - I seem to recall a recent RfA that had issues due to the nominee having had issues with CSD tagging, as well as of course your RfA in which comments were made concerning a lack of CSD/page deletion policy knowledge. I tagged that article with a small amount of deliberation; as Twinkle does not contain every category in its CSD tagger I was left somewhat uncertain about whether it was nonsense or a test page. That said, the idea of a king chinchilla did seem rather nonsensical to me, hence me tagging it as such. The problem with G1, I suppose, is that it implies the article text must be something along the lines of "asdi;ghowerughlaskbvlauyrgli;uasdf" to be tagged under that category. Upon further review of the category, though, I'm still left questioning: "with no meaningful content or history" seems to be at issue with "excludes poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, implausible theories, vandalism and hoaxes, fictional material, coherent non-English material, and poorly translated material." In the end, you are probably right in saying it should have been tagged as G2; given the contradictory nature of G1 it would have indeed been more wise to tag it as a test page and avoid any potential drama. Too, using A1 is always troublesome; it identified the subject but lacked anything in the way of clarification. -sigh- CSD tags need to be less dramatic and more clear cut, lest we revisit your and -whomever it was'- RfA. I hope this comment makes sense as a whole; feel free to respond with any thoughts you have. -- tennis man 13:42, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Of course you are aware that I spoke for you in your recent RfA; I meant it, and I rarely notice or contribute to RfAs so was happy to have the opportunity to speak for you at yours. I'm sorry that yours didn't succeed, but I think the short time you've been contributing was a factor. (Apparently quality was not as much of a factor.) What I'm wondering is, now that the dust has settled, is there anything that you think you might like to work on, and is there any way in which I can assist you? I have to say that my perception has been that "admin coaching" is not looked upon as being appropriate by everyone who contributes to RfAs. I myself benefited immeasurably from that type of relationship with User:Pedro and would like to "pay it forward", but you may think that the drawbacks outweigh the potential benefits. You might also consider that I'm not that widely-experienced an admin and so my assistance would be limited to my areas of experience. But if there's something I can do to help you, let's talk; I think you will be a good admin and I would like to see you get the mop if you still want it.

I appreciate the warning, but I'll ask that you assume good faith. It appears that you are able to ascertain my intentions, and if there are any questions they should be directed to the respective discussions. The COA I have is in my disagreement with the policy, not it's application. If the consensus is that the two female Sgts are notable because of their gender I'm happy to go with that, but then the distinction needs to be made more clear in the articles themselves. As a scholar of military history I'd be happy to do that editing myself, but as I've stated in many places: We need a clear standard. Since much of the pushback on these two articles mirrors my own feelings, I started a debate on the WP:N page you may want to join in on.

Please take me on good faith on this, I am not trying to start an argument. I am trying to understand a difference for future AfD discussions.
You replied to my comment in the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Perm_Lame_Horse_club_fire discussion where I mentioned that this event was similar to the Rhode island fire earlier this decade. I mentioned that without pointing to the article (honestly, I didn't even know if an article on that existed until after I posted my comment) only for a point of comparison. You called that out as classic WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. i know the argument well and avoid it whenever possible. But at what point can one use an article for comparison in discussions? I am asking you in particular because you stated your case with a comparison to the bubble boy article. Again, this may read as an attempt to start an argument, and I assure you it is not. I just want to understand the difference between the acceptability of one and not the other.
Thanks.

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.
A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;
You are receiving this message as you have voted in VOTE 3 at the Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll.
It has been pointed out that VOTE 3 was confusing, and that voters have been assuming that the question was about creating an actual two-phase CDA process. The question is merely about having a two-phase poll on CDA at the eventual RfC, where the community will have their vote (eg a "yes/no for CDA” poll, followed a choice of proposal types perhaps).
As I wrote the question, I'll take responsibility for the confusion. It does make sense if read through to the end, but it certainly wasn't as clear as it should have been, or needed to be!
Please amend your vote if appropriate - it seems that many (if not most) people interpreted the question in the way that was not intended.

Hi TParis,
you are receiving this message as you voted in VOTE 2 at the recent Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll. Unfortunately, there is a hitch regarding the "none" vote that can theoretically affect all votes.
1) Background of VOTE 2:
In a working example of CDA; ater the 'discussion and polling phase' is over, if the "rule of thumb" baseline percentage for Support votes has been reached, the bureaucrats can start to decide whether to desysop an admin, based in part on the evidence of the prior debate. This 'baseline' has now been slightly-adjusted to 65% (from 70%) per VOTE 1. VOTE 2 was asking if there is a ballpark area where the community consensus is so strong, that the bureaucrats should consider desysopping 'automatically'. This 'threshold' was set at 80%, and could change pending agreement on the VOTE 2 results.
This was VOTE 2;
This is the VOTE 2 question without any ambiguity;
2) What was wrong with VOTE 2?
Since the poll, it has been suggested that ambiguity in the term "none at all" could have affected some of the votes. Consequently there has been no consensus over what percentage to settle on, or how to create a new compromise percentage. The poll results are summarised here.

The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal was started on the 22nd Feb, and it runs for 28 days. Please note that the existing CDA proposal was (in the end) run as something of a working compromise, so CDA is still largely being floated as an idea.
Also note that, although the RfC is in 'poll format' (Support, Oppose, and Neutral, with Comments underneath), this RfC is still essentially a 'Request for Comment'. Currently, similar comments on CDA's value are being made under all three polls.
Whatever you vote, your vote is welcome!

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 18:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

First off, thank you so much for serving our nation! It is inspiring to know that citizens such as yourself are so willing to place yourselves in harm's way, ESPECIALLY in a time of war. Honestly, I think you should add "Esquire" to the end of your name, as I feel you have certainly distinguished yourself from your peers.
Additionally, I would like to note that your Star Trek fascination is a sign of pure genious. As Dr. McCoy stated in Balance of Terror "In this galaxy there’s a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all that, and perhaps more...only one of each of us. " I think this statement holds especially true for honorable young men such as yourself.

Hello, Staff Sergeant! Happy New Year!<best military voice>
I too was having a look at this 'article'. I note that
Rani Rajendra Kumari was deleted in July 2009(as a Hoax! + BLP issues). There is also an existing article on her 'husband'
Dewan Shatrughan Singh, however unreferenced since created on 30 May 2009! Perhaps you would like to run your eye over this too? Any TalkPage Stalkers are welcome to act too of course!
My feeling is that if this was real, then it would have been subject to a lot of editing by 'Indian' editors, but it has only been edited ≈18 times, including creation! Googling only gets 3,500 hits, which seem to be sites sourcing from Wikipedia.
Both parties mentioned also make unsourced appearances in ALL CAPS on
Kalpi(one ref) and
Kalijar Fort(no refs!), also
Bundelkhand(lower case for once!) More hoaxing?? or POV 'freedom fighter'/'terrorist'?

Hi TP, yes the club is notable. I've only just started on this but county level clubs are above town teams and just below country.

The idea that someone has recognised and approves of the editing approach I've been applying for the past three years as a registered user, brings with it a great deal of pride. It's a symbol of appreciation and encouragement that comes at a time when my usefulness to the project has been in great self-doubt.

I am not sure if I am doing this correctly, but as the Exective Director of Dragonfly Forest, I was trying to post factual information to Wikipedia to update the page about our organization. I was not trying to post anything that was considered advertising copy. I was just trying to post the facts about our organization so that post on here was correct. There is information that is listed in the profile that was incorrect, and also the page really doesn't describe what we do or who we do it for. If I cannot post this because of a conflict then please feel free to go to www.dragonflyforest.org and create your own posting based on the information you find there. Again my purpose of making these edits was to make the information about our organization as factual as possible.

Hi TParis, I saw the thread on Wikipedia talk:Did you know about expanding articles. I always copy the existing article into one of my sandboxes and do the expansion there, which gives me as much time as I need, without having to worry about the 5 day rule. You have to make sure you take account of any changes to the article before you replace it with the expanded version (just copied and pasted in from the sandbox), but that's no big deal. I always make sure that I leave all the categories and interwikis behind when I copy from the original, to avoid confusion. Cheers, Mikenorton ( talk) 01:10, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Awhile back we clashed slightly over your having taken exception to some links I had made on articles. We came to a peaceful resolution. However, at the time it never occurred to me to look at your user page. I was just reading an article (Jurgen Bartsch) over once again and it reminded me of you.
(You agreed with me here that an unproven claim that Bartsch (a notorious German 60s serial killer of prepubescent boys) had made should be removed from the article as without proof the accusation was potentially libelous, so you removed it in whatever official capacity you hold with Wikipedia.)
Being reminded of this, I was curious and just consulted your user page. It is indeed true that one never knows who one is writing to online unless familiar with him or her. I just wanted to take a moment to commend and thank you for your gallant service to our nation in these troubling and dangerous times. I am a veteran (Navy) and therefore all the more appreciate your service, sergeant.
I was also suspired how young you are. Your apparent intellectual interests and skills belie the myth that enlisted military personnel are dull-witted dregs in the service as a last resort, as Senator John Kerry’s most unfortunate and ill-advised remarks would imply. Godspeed and thank you once again.
By the way, my best friend, a former shipmate, is from The Dalles and his late brother worked for awhile in your hometown. I have enjoyed several wonderful visits to your home state over the years. It is most beautiful and majestic country there. HistoryBuff14 ( talk) 17:48, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

The strikeout was done as an aid to a brand-new editor who very clearly doesn't yet understand how things work around here. Specifically, to reassure him or her that the Speedy call for the article s/he created had been withdrawn.

I have previously advised yourselves that the content of the profile appertaining to me contains innacurate information and detail. I have emailed you again todday to advise this fact. Can you please provide me with full details of the person responsible for the content so that I can pass this onto my Solicitor for further action. A copy of me email is below.

I am Bob Newton who is listed in wikipedia on this link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Newton_(footballer)
For a long time someone has been editing this profile and including libellous statements in respect of a conviction for a driving offence. The statement appears every now and again and although I edit this and remove the inaccurate statement it appears again at some point. I have complained about this before and pointed out that the statements being posted are not wholly accurate, relevant or provide the full details of the circumstances.
At the same time as editing the profile to include these libellous statements the person involved is also removing details regarding much of the good work I do for Charity and anything complimentary about me.
Can you please advise how I can stop this from happening?
If I need to employ a Solicitor to enforce some sort of injunction on the person editing this information can you please advise and provide details of his identity.
If you can edit the profile back to its content prior to these statements being amended it would be appreciated.
I look forward to your comments.

Hi.
I wonder if you can help me. Someone has told me on a message board that I've been banned from wikipedia. It could be either from my IP address or that my IP address is blocked in some way. I don't understand why I could be banned from wikipedia as I didn't have a wikipedia account. I have only just set up a new account under the name sunshinemags, but I have not edited any articles yet. I'm not exactly sure what my IP address is. But i do have an IP address number as this number has appeared on a friend's discussion site I posted on. There are other people who live at the same address as me who use the same IP address but they don't have wikipedia accounts and have not made any editing to wikipedia articles in the past. So this is all confusing.
What I would like to know is how do I find out if my IP address is blocked, or blocked in the past, when it was blocked, why it was blocked and who made the request for it to be blocked. I find the instructions on your help page difficult to follow. If my IP address has been blocked for some reason, then how do I make a request to unblock it. Your help will be much appreciated.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Lee bivens, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact
one of these administrators to request that the administrator
userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Hi - I just finished creating a new page on Wiki for "Borden Dairy" with references & citations & was hoping to redirect "Borden (Company)" to it, but you beat me to the punch & did the opposite by redirecting the page I developed to "Borden (Company)".
I do not want to risk being banded from editing as I was given a final warning yesterday when I tried making updates to validate "Borden (Company)" - so can you provide me some recommendations on what I can do?

Hmmm... I'd forgotten about that article. I'd like to enlist your help in resolving the copyright issue.
Here's the background... There is an article on
Paul Cuffee that I had on my watchlist. Somebody complained somewhere on a Wikipedia talk page (I forget exactly where)
On March 9, 2011, User:Paul Cuffe complained about the confusion between the two Paul Cuffee's ( here). In all probability, this user is also the author of this website.
Note that his website explicitly raises the issue that Wikipedia confuses the two Paul Cuffee's:
I had never heard of the second Paul Cuffee before that person raised the issued. I tried to address the issue by creating Paul Cuffee (missionary). I do remember that there was darn little information about this Paul Cuffee and that I was trying to take the facts and make them into a non-copyright infringing article but, with that little information, it was hard to change the expression of the facts much. That said, I'm not disputing that there probably is copyright infringement. I can't really comment as to how much since the article has been deleted. Your comment on the Autopatrolled request page indicates that there was quite a bit of infringement.
Here's how I'd like to ask you to help. There is a desire to have an article on the second Paul Cuffee. Since he has a feast day in the Church of Scotland, he is notable and encyclopedic. We might be able to get the author of the website to make his text free under Wikipedia's CC/SSA license. After all, it was his expressed desire to have Wikipedia make the distinction. If he were to create the article and/or provide its text instead of me doing it, then the copyright problem goes away.
So here is what I propose... please restore the deleted article to my userspace. I will try to contact the author of the website to see if he is willing to put his text under CC/SSA. If not, I will try to rewrite the text so that it doesn't infringe on copyright.

Thank you for your help with making sure that Paper Swan Studios has the correct information and formatting. Currently the process is to make sure the formatting is correct and has a "skeleton" that will be filled in later. It will be a great resource for musicians, songwriters and producers that are looking for information on a variety of singer-songwriters, bands, film/tv placements, etc.
Your help is greatly appreciated as the process of adding a page to wikipedia is new.

Thank you. for your concern and for making sure everything is valid. zztop/Red hot/adele have not worked at paper swan studios. Mariah McManus, Joy Williams of the Civil Wars, Trent Dabbs, Amy Stroup, Tyrone Wells, Andrew Belle etc have worked at paper swan studios with Thomas Doeve. Originally the zztop/red hot/adele etc were merely for formatting sake and as you can see this was started this morning and is still being revised. This is a new process so I appreciate your patience. Currently Paper Swan (Thomas Doeve) has had music used over 30 times in film/television and is very notable to musicians, artists, producers, songwriters, television music supervisors, fans of television shows and film. — Preceding

Morning TParis,
I am very respectful of the daily battle editors wage against self-promotion on Wikipedia, but I having trouble finding anything in there that wasn't neutral. Everything was fact-based, there was no "Best in Class!" or "Revolutionary!" language, and every statement referenced reputable articles from sources like ABC News and NPR. I looked at entries for over a dozen similar companies, and I aimed to err on the site of caution.
Can you please take another look and let me know what didn't come across as neutral? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mphil14 ( talk • contribs) 15:42, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi TParis,
I am contacting you as I saw that you deleted the Douglas A. Phillips' wiki page I created earlier today. I am afraid I don't really understand the reason why you deleted it as Douglas A. Phillips is Managing Partner of WeiserMazars LLP and had plenty of coverage in the press when the merger between Weiser and Mazars happened... Maybe is it because he's mentioned in articles by Accounting Today & Going Concern as Doug Phillips instead of Douglas A. Phillips, his full name? I am just trying to understand in order to avoid the mistakes I made in the future.
Thanks in advance for your answer,
Syllae Syllae ( talk) 15:56, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi again,
Yes, I would like you to make a more indepth review because with all due respect, I have to disagree with the sources being minor mentions... If you check the article from Going Concern (
http://goingconcern.com/2010/04/weisers-doug-phillips-combination-with-mazars-was-the-next-logical-step/) you will see that Doug Phillips' name is included in the title and that he's basically interviewed in the article. He is also mentioned several times in the Accounting today article: (
http://www.accountingtoday.com/news/Mazars-Weiser-Chiefs-See-International-Growth-54178-1.html). He's also a member of several renowned associations. If I created the page as Doug Phillips instead of Douglas A. Phillips, would it be still on? As there are several Doug Phillips already existing on wikipedia, should I add "(businessman)" or something else next to "Doug Phillips" ?
Thanks in advance,

So because angry people got upset with something she said on a show, you delete it? How about doing a little research first? She's in the new SETH MACFRALANE MOVIE. She's a RECURRING CHARACTER on the MOST SUCCESSFUL WEBISODE OF ALL TIME (In Gayle We Trust)and she's on the FRONT PAGE OF HULU everyday. Is there really NO research done at all?

In a matter of TWO minutes you can find several links and sites that show all of what I stated before. Maybe you should delete Seth Macfarlane's page too?

This was my first real contribution to wikipedia. If you have any input as to why the tradehill article seemed too self promotional, I would appreciate the the advice. Much of the information was taken from the company's website as it is fairly new, however I was not trying to advocate for their services over any other, I simply wanted to represent and help fill out an topic that is getting increasing attention and which lacks wiki entries to full explain the issue and the actors in a way that laypeople will understand. Thanks for your input, I hope to improve the entry. ThereNHere ( talk) 18:17, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
You stated that they were unaware of the concept of conflict of interest; however, the user specifically stated that they would not rely on self-published materials to verify the information. The user also stated that they would work to remain as neutral as they could. Suggestions were made on the talk page that all of this user's pages start as userspace drafts. You also pointed out that the user desired to create the articles because other things exist, I don't believe you understood the full context of the user's remarks. They intended more to say that the articles about Shaftesbury Films would be written in a similar style and neutrality to those of Pinewood Studios. I do agree with the procedural decline part because the questions asked by BWilkins were not answered; however, I believe the user should be unblocked as soon as the questions are answered.

TParis, in no way did I ever make an implied threat. While I may be a little blunt and abrasive at times (or maybe I'm just an asshole), because you had just passed your RFA, I tried to treat the situation with kid gloves.
I was also attempting to assume good faith in that you simply misremembered the facts I outlined above when you made this statement here. It is easy to forget a few details here or there and not everyone maintains detailed notes for this sort of stuff (I do, for a number of reasons, although I didn't always).
As far as honest advice goes, this is a two-way street and I gave you my opinion as well. If you choose to ignore and discount it, so be it, but I'd suggest you be much more careful in the future and get your facts correct before you make the sort of statement you made above. Such statements can and do cause problems for other editors. Who knows, it may just be that you've not been around long enough yet to have witnessed people blocked or punished in some way because someone else didn't have their facts together. (If you do decide you want to continue this discussion, perhaps we should take this elsewhere.) -- Tothwolf ( talk) 18:14, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Copied from Master of Puppets talk page--v/r - T P 18:34, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
"I've spoken with you several times during this entire issue and at times you've seemed well mannered and cordial and at other times you've seemed spiteful and angry." Perhaps that is because while I'm generally good natured, if I see someone attempting to game the system or making false or misleading statements (or outright lying), I tend to get very blunt and call someone on it. As I said on M.O.P.'s talk page, while at this point I don't really think it would be worthwhile to get into an "X did this because of Y" sort of discussion over some of the stuff in the Natami AfDs, there were individuals (more than one) there who intentionally made false or misleading statements for various reasons.
Something I probably wasn't clear about when I emailed you is there were other editors who were actually more likely to DRV the close than I was. At the time I had emailed you, I hadn't yet decided if I was going to take the close to DRV. It was only after your reply, and the feedback I got from others that I had decided to take it to DRV, but of course I never got the chance since you relisted it before I could do so :) -- Tothwolf ( talk) 19:15, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
From later discussion on his talk page, IP 76.103.207.254 is new editor User:Gregrank who had made his request at the AFd while not logged in. I would ask that with this new information, a userfication to User:Gregrank/Osulrc-1 might be considered. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:38, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
I saw the article on Foreign Exchange F.C CSD, and deleted it for speedy A7. I was then proceeding to the user page of the editor, User:Falc, to try to explain to him why his request to avoid deletion was invalid and the article was hopelessly unsuitable, and I saw you had blocked him indefinitely for removing the speedy notice from the article. I do not consider this a blockable offense, let alone a reason for an indefinite block with account creation disabled, for an editor's first good faith attempt at keeping an article/ True, they editor removed the notice several times. People do not necessarily actually read the warning notices--they look too much like the typical bureaucratic verbiage, not as helpful advice. It is not actually all that disruptive, for the bot always picks it up and the article gets deleted anyway. New editors do not understand things, and they need to be encouraged. Here was someone who mistakenly believed that his club was appropriate for an article, and it presents an opportunity for us to explain to the person the purpose of Wikipedia, with the hope that he will perhaps come to contribute usefully in the future. But here you have probably alienated him forever. Most admins I think would perhaps have blocked him if he had continually recreated the article after deletion, but he did not do that (myself, I rarely block in such a case unless the article is truly disruptive--I just protect against re-creation, which usually communicates the message very clearly, without the need to say anything unpleasant.
You are after all a new administrator and I would normally say that you should have the chance to correct your own errors, but in this case I am simply unblocking and apologizing to the user of behalf of Wikipedia, because I consider this an unambiguous error, and also consider the matter urgent , to prevent us from losing this editor. I do not think this needs to go to AN/I, but of course you are welcome to take it there.
I must place this message on-wiki instead of informing you privately, because I think it's of course necessary to leave a visible record when onw reverta a fellow admin, which not something one does lightly. DGG ( talk ) 03:09, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi TParis. I just wanted to bring this issue to your attention. A couple of days back you granted rollback rights to Gorlack36 ( talk · contribs). However, I see a couple of issues with this. The user is very new and still learning their way around. It is important that rollbackers, who are often the users who first have contact with newbies due to their work in RCP and Huggle, are well versed in Wikipedia policy and have a good amount of experience editing and dealing with troublesome users. In addition, I have concerns that they do not understand the proper use of rollback as an anti-vandalism tool, to be used almost solely for reverting obvious vandalism, or that they have enough knowledge to judge what is vandalism or not. Please see the user's talk page for some examples. I'm not going to take any action myself, but I would ask that you review your decision in light of all of this.

At this point in time I have some questions on procedures and reasoning in relation to the decision to delete the Nuwaupu Article.
