If there is a problem with the way i wrote it, please, i would really like to have an article on him, please, help me keep this article. I appreciate what you are doing and i thank you for your help

Hi, I know this IP appears different(my isp hasn't been holding numbers for any person for very long), I edited Franklin due to the fact that Carlisle and Franklin OH are two different schools and two different towns. Unless something has changed drastically since 1995 when I left that area, it would still be the case. Let me know where you might have obtained this information, so we can verify which is true. I will take your word for it if verified and hope you didn't think I was vandalizing what you wrote. 68.29.137.68 ( talk) 15:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I have deleted your comments from my talk page for violations of WP:AGF and personal attack policies, as well as your peculiar misreading of my comments. Since my comment on its face did not apply to you -- you were the nominator, not a proponent, a distinction I was careful to make, your hostile response was clearly inappropriate. I woud also note that "Old Jabo" is one of twenty-four songs selected by the Smithsonian for its "Classic Blues" collection, prima facie evidence of notability, and that you placed the prod tag on the article less that one minute after its creator, a new editor, had written his first Wikipedian sentence, which a reasonable and fairminded person could easily view as a violation of WP:BITE. I would suggest that, for your penance, you withdraw your poorly informed nomnation for deletion, apologize to the article's creator and offer to help him or her with future editing, and yourself take action to repair the article's defects. But I will not hold my breath. I also think you should review the sorry history of [User:Qworty], whose pattern of abusive behavior is well-documented an indisputable. An editor who take such particular joy in gratuitously and cruelly mocking the dead (e.g., [1]) is someone who deserves strong condemnation, and whose actions provide a roadmap to opportunities for abuse.

my recent request for adminship, which passed 72

. Rest assured, I have read each comment thoroughly and will be
addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor. In particular, I would like to thank
Balloonman for putting so much time into reviewing my contributions and writing such a thoughtful nomination statement after knowing me for only a brief period of time (and for convincing me that I was ready to take up the mop now, rather than go through
admin coaching).
To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).
To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)
Sincerely,

I replied on Pedro's talk page, but decided to drop you a note anyway. It was a bit out of character I'll admit. I was just a tad miffed at be labeled a hypocrite by two users who I have respect for. It's not like I opposed the candidancy, I stayed neutral so I could take a closer look when I had time. For some reason this made my Wiki-blood boil, but I think that's the worst you're ever going to see from Wisdom89. You know I don't normally make borderline incivil comments. Sorry to disappoint.

Hi. I'm curious about your edit comment, speedy declined, page has significant history. . I don't see anything in WP:CSD about how long the edit history may be. I suppose you could make a reasonable argument that this fails A7 because it asserts notability, and that might be a valid reason to decline the speedy, but length of edit history itself doesn't seem valid. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
My name is Nathan Larsen. I'm a Senior at Concordia College, and am the President of The Concordia College Band. I am writing in response to your recent deletion of the page about The Band. I simply intended to post a page about The Band to help inform people about some of The Band's history and its current happenings. I guess I would just like an explanation why it was deleted, especially when other music ensembles, namely The Concordia Choir, are allowed to enjoy a full page on Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hmm, Hey. I was writing two articles, one named Transformer Search Engine and the other one is for tirgumit. After reading the intro to your page I realized I was doing a commercial to the search engine and to the translation software. I wish to edit those pages and not start from scratch, and there for, a little story, Dr. Seuss style:
Once apon a time in a far far away land
there was a little boy who wished for a dividend. His boss always told him: "work hard. get your work done" but as for that dividend - he said none. So the boy work hard, he became a man, even his boss is now a fan. "Oh, you're so good" the boss always said "but as for that dividend, what are you mad?!" So after lots of pondering and thinking and wondering and sitting and hoping and wishing I had an idea all mighty it was like my head glowed with something light(y) "I should add our softwares in Wikipedia" (and everyone knows it's the number one encyclopedia) And so the story goes on to your hands, Mr. Tan, please help me to be a man (with dividends)

Hi, Tan, it is Bruce Cherner from Bruce Cherner Antique Silver in Acton, MA here. In the course of researching an extraordinary object by Nordbeck, I noticed that Wikipedia lacked an entry on him and decided to take a few minutes and post one. As mentioned in my article, he was the most talented of the Halifax silversmiths working during that time period. My sources are Langford "Canadian Silversmiths and Their Marks"; also http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0007397 among others.

Hi there. Would it be possible to learn more about the basis for deleting the broken frontier article? I personally thought it contained enough notability to forestall a blink and you miss it deletion.
The site hosts the blogs of several relatively small, though notable comics publishers. It has been bought and sold, and it hosts hundreds of interview with major comics professionals, who presumably would find the site notable enough within the industry to volunteer their time.
Is there anything specific that you are looking for? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keysturns ( talk • contribs) 16:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tan,
We are new to the wikipedia scene...or constructing any forms of web-based sites to begin with so pleae bear with us. Today you deleted a page, entitled Heartland International, claiming it was blatant advertising. We are a local nonprofit organization in Chicago and looking to increase awareness and support of our organization's cause. We are also looking to create an informative page on wikipedia as many of our fellow nonprofits already have. We are still in the middle of teaching ourselves the logistics of wikipedia and how to properly format the information in the article. We would appreciate if you could reinstate our page so as we may have the time needed to complete it properly.
Thank you very much. All the Best with your future work.

Yeah, he's probably ready now, but his last RfA closed in April, and I want a nice three month span between the two in order to deflect all the "OMG, power hunger" !votes that a two month period would. Naturally, it's up to him whether he wants to go through with it (seeing as you need nerves of steel to stand the hell it's become now), and if he wants to go now, I'll nominate him, although I'll state to him that I would prefer a month. That said, he has improved quite a bit, so it may be a non-factor. Thoughts? Sephiroth BCR ( Converse) 21:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Please refactor your warning on my talk page. I did not delete page contents with no explanation. I had explained everything in the edit summary as well as the talk page here. You've basically been tricked by a revert warrior who was blocked for 3RR on multiple pages including that page. Please stick to dealing with genuine vandalism on WP:AIV. The vandalism report that user:Gulmammad filed is completely bogus. He's claiming that adding tags is vandalism and making edits that were discussed in talk or the edit summary is vandalism. Thanks in advance. Pocopocopocopoco ( talk) 03:09, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
(unindent) Thanks for removing your warning. In response to your concerns of edit warring, I was not edit warring. user:Seraphimblade made the same mistake that you have made. user:Gulmammad was simply reverting my edits and Seraphim tarred us with the same brush. Please see the discussion here at least one admin agrees that I was not revert warring, and Gulmammad received a block for revert warring. Pocopocopocopoco ( talk) 03:45, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I see you issuing threats to contributors of Wikipedia - it seems you are some sort of administrator - may I respectfully enquire what qualifies you to monitor contributions, and how did you get this job. You and others like you at Wikipedia remain anonymous, no one seems to know exactly what fields you people are qualified in, yet you reign supreme. This is why I use Wikipedia as a second line of information because there is absolutely no information on its contributors.
Do you care to comment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrwboyd ( talk • contribs) 04:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
An Editor is required to have some knowledge of the subject matter he edits, otherwise he will be unable to edit or monitor in a proper manner. Wikipedia, therefore, employs the services of individuals with unverifiable qualifications, resulting in information that cannot be taken seriously because of its dubious origins from unknown persons without properly accredited qualifications. If one seeks a job as a history teacher, one is required to provide proof of one's training in history; it is as simple as that. You also mentioned truth versus verification - you obviously have little understanding of the terms; that which is verifiable is often considered the truth, although there is much in the Holy Bible which remains unverified yet is considered the truth by Christians. Are you saying that Wikipedia will not accept articles on Jesus Christ? After all much of his life is not historically verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrwboyd ( talk • contribs) 05:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I see that you protected the "Gabriel Murphy" article, but before reverting back to a redirect. I am not sure if you are aware, but this article was recently underwent a deletion review ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review). The vote was 4 to 3 in favor of overturning the article versus endorsing the redirect. Since that time the article has consistently been redirected to aplus.net despite the deletion review. I thought I would bring this to your attention as I think the deletion review establishes that the article should stand on its own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.76.132.152 ( talk) 03:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Howdy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rufus Griscom appears to lean towards delete right now. I think one or two sentences added to the article would make the keep arguments the clear consensus. For me the basic problem is the lack of an assertion of notability. The lead does not establish enough context to understand why this person is notable. As such, I theoretically agree with the comment that this article meets the CSD. However, your keep comment indicates that some research shows the person is notable. I think your vote would be the end of it if the article was improved enough to have it no longer qualify for speedy deletion. As I commented on the AfD though, I have no idea what his claim to notability is, and I suspect that is also the main reason others have voted delete.
I realize neither you nor I have any particular reason to keep the article, but I think a quick edit from you clearly stating why he is notable would close the afd as keep. JackSchmidt ( talk) 17:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello again this is Holtville or as you call me Holt. You did not give me enough time to respond to your question so here is the answer. In the last sentence I meant that if you give someone a FINAL WARNING that means if they do it again then they will be blocked. But, if you give them a final warning after final warning then they will think you are not living up to your word. So they think by you doing this they can keep vandalizing pages and no one can stop them. By the way, there was a level 4 warning and it was given in the January 2008 part of 167.80.244.204's talk page. Holtville ( talk) 20:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

After I made a bit of an enhancement to the dashboard (a rollback request section that will appear when there are outstanding requests) I noticed you were using the dashboard in the exact same format as me, so rather than add the enhancement manually, I just changed your dash to a direct transclusion. one, so you can benefit from future enhancements, two, because I need a guinea pig to test if it works well when transcluded directly.

Tan, I have started a discussion at the reliable sources noticeboard in order to resolve the dispute over reliable sources at the article Sheylanli. I have placed a tag at this article in order to attract the reader to this discussion and get a broader input. I believe the tag is important. In the past, user:Gulmammad has reverted all tags in this article no matter how reasonable they were.

The Valley of Screams is a fictional setting in the Bleach anime universe. I redirected the word with or without uppercase, and with or without 'the' preceding it.

You declined blocking here when I reported this user to AIV, because of "no edits after final warning". This edit to my talk page came right after the final warning on his talk page. That's not good enough because the final warning was for vandalism? How many times do I have to give final warnings to this guy? This is why I rarely report to AIV.

Is a podcast number #5 in its itunes category and #1 on the feature page non notable? Could you comment then on my case for its notability. I'll repeat it here:
I would like to think if a podcast has a demonstrated history of interviewing noted people with national or international reputations, that would be highly indicative of a podcast's reach. For example the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast was only allowed when it become apparent Randi was semi regular contributor. Metrics are very hard to get for a podcast. Digg votes was one of the suggested metrics. A metric, one itunes uses to rank popularity, is the number of comments. DFA has 44.
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df1.jpg
By way of comparison The Economist has 26 reviews.
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df2.jpg
This NPR show has 25 reviews:
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df3.jpg
Odd, I think a very non-notable podcast would draw nearly twice as many reviews.
These two podcasts are also top podcasts as evidenced by their placement on the itunes page:
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df4.jpg
Dogma Free America is the top featured podcast in the itunes "general" category as well as #5, one more than Pat Condell
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df5.jpg
As well a google search on "dogma free america" turns up 6,030 hits. A lot of people are talking about the podcast, no?
This must all be evidence that the podcast is notable.
I do realize the quality of the initial writeups were probably crap. My own first pass at the The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast was a little bare:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Skeptics%27_Guide_to_the_Universe&oldid=99278491
But if you examine its history it came along well.

Hello Tanthalas39:
Would you kindly take a look at the situation with the "Gabriel Murphy" article? This is an article that I think you will agree shows notability but has been deleted and now protected, even though the first AfD ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gabriel_Murphy_1st_nom) was to keep, when that article contained much less content.
I have opened a Deletion Review for this article and was hoping you could render an opinion on the situation. Several users had redirected "Gabriel Murphy" to aplus.net, but that article no longer exists. I really think this article has enough sources and notability to warrant its own article.

Thanks for the feedback. I personally feel the "Gabriel Murphy" article should be its own article rather than a redirect. I am unsure why it should be a redirect to Aplus when it clearly establishes notability on its own. Do you agree?

Hey Tan, I just changed your userpage protection so that only admins can actually move User:Tanthalas39 to a different page. Autoconfirmed users can still edit your userpage, but they can't move it anymore. When you click on "protect" tab, you'll notice that there is a little checkbox under the right side window - if you check it, then you can change the move option to be different from the edit option. Make sense? Change it back if you want random editors to have the ability to move your userpage to User:Tanthalas39 luvs the sk8ter girl, or some such.

Hi, I think I need an admins help here. A user (Lycianaff1) claiming to be the subject of the Wikipedia biography ( Lycia Naff, ) in question has taken over the page and started editing it...at first changing it into a vanity page (links to their agent, favorable reviews, etc.), changing their sourced birth date to a much younger one (it is a B movie actresse's page), and removing sourced material they didn't feel was flattering. When these edits got reverted the user just started to blank the page. I think the user needs to be blocked from editing the page and the page reverted (its blanked by this person now) for a lot of reasons: the editor is the (self-claimed) subject of the page, they've hacked the page repeatedly, they are using it as a self promoting PR page, they've blanked the page, etc. 96.238.177.90 ( talk) 21:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I recently submitted a page on a local company (I am a resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia) and it has been deleted. After carefully reading the reasons for deletion I recognize that I didn't meet the criteria for notability, but I do believe that Nautel is a notable company.
Nautel is a manufacturer of solid state transmitters and is recognized as having invented solid state technology nearly forty years ago. In an industry that is only now moving away from vacuum tube technology, this is an incredible achievement. Nautel has a presence in more than 170 countries around the world and has successfully installed more than 7000 transmitters since 1969.
Nautel is also notable for its involvement in the advancement of HD Radio in the United States. Along with the other major transmitter manufacturers (Harris, Continental, BE) Nautel has worked with the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) in its efforts to lower the cost for radio stations transitioning to digital radio through the development of embedded exporters ( http://www.radioworld.com/pages/s.0100/t.13025.html). Nautel is also currently involved in a petition to the FCC in association with the NAB to raise digital radio injection levels to -10dB ( http://www.radioworld.com/dailynews/index.cgi). Raising the levels of HD radio is seen by many as being essential to the success of HD radio in the United States.
Nautel has recently successfully tested its new eLoran (Enhanced Long Range Navigation) technology at the United States Loran facility in Wildwood, NJ. This represents a significant feat as Nautel will be only the second company to offer an eLoran solution and will have done so using technology that was widely considered unable to create the eLoran pulse ( http://satellitenavigation.wordpress.com/category/eloran/).
Working in conjunction with AdAstra Rocket Company, Nautel is currently developing technology to facilitate a new form of rocket propulsion know as VASIMR. This new propulsion system uses plasma that has been super heated by RF (radio frequency) and will allow for much longer flights while eliminate the need for traditional rocket fuels in space exploration ( http://www.adastrarocket.com/vasimr.html)(http://www.radio-guide.com/#Radio%20Guide%202008%20On-Line)
Nautel has also received considerable press for its innovative broadcast transmitters. The two major industry papers, Radio World and Radio Magazine, both recognized Nautel products at the industries largest convention held this April in Las Vegas. The NX50 50kW AM transmitter and the NV40 40 kW FM transmitter both recieved awards for innovation ( http://radiomagonline.com/features/2008-pick-hits-nab-show/index1.html)(http://www.rwonline.com/cool.stuff.shtml).
Unfortunately the broadcast manufacturing industry gets little mainstream press. Within the radio industry Nautel is seen as an innovative and well respected company. Working out of a small village in Nova Scotia with 150 employees, Nautel is able to compete globally with larger conglomerates like Harris and BE and is still recognized as an industry leader.
I realize that I may not have justified the notability of this company before I submitted my article. I thought that I would be able to return to this article to elaborate upon it and was hoping that others would see my article and be encouraged to share their knowledge as well.
Sorry for the length of this message, I just wanted to get this all out in one shot. I hope you read it all and I hope you will reconsider the deletion of my article.
If there are any criteria I must meet in order for my article to be reinstated, please let me know.

OK. Basically, I decided that
the image used on the Main Page to illustrate Today's Featured Article is of fairly low quality. So I cleaned it up and tried to upload a new version, not remembering that anything on the Main Page is cascade-protected.
So, what I am asking you to do is upload my new version for me. How to do that is fairly complicated:
If you don't want to go through all that hassle, I can ask another admin to do it. I just asked you because I saw you revert vandalism on my userpage, so I knew you were on right now. Thanks for your time,

Hello,
You recently (I beleive)deleted an entry I was working on for the Davinci Institute. As far as it being deleted because it lacked "notability" - I actually read the content guidelines on notability and credibility and tried to post references that evidenced both criteria. When I went to post these references nothing would appear - same when I tried to "link" them to external publications (that NOTE our organization as an informational resource.) I went back through and tried to figure out what I'd done wrong and I was following the referenece steps thoroughly.
As we are often soiught out by, and quoted by, the Denver Post, The Rocky Mountain News and other state and national information publications (like the Heritage foundation for instance is quoted and used as an information resource and IS listed on wikipedia) I believe that is a "qualification" - a third party reliable source referring to our organization - for notability.
Please help me understand 1) possibly why I couldn't post references and 2) AM I mistaken in thinking that using major news resouces as a notability/credibility determinant is incorrect (when that seems to be what your guidelines require)?
Thanks so much for your help - in advance,
Sincerely

I know this user has contributed in other areas, but Huggle edits outweigh everything else by a long, long way. There have been some silly contributions brought up by other users. I don't appreciate my oppose reason being called 'stupid' by a fellow administrator, who like myself, has been participating in RfA for now over a year.

Thanks for the move. However, I saw you redirected Eminem's fifth studio album to Encore (Eminem album). I reverted that edit because, although it's perfectly right, there are still a ton of links all over wikipedia that link "Eminem's fifth studio album", intending his new album to come out. Until many of those links aren't fixed, I feel that "Eminem's fifth studio album" should redirect to "Eminem's sixth studio album". Hope you agree.

[19] You indicated in your support that you don't find this to be of any concern. Ryan basically calls a very fair viewpoint ignorant, impugning several editors, backing it up with zero evidence. In your own words, if you can honestly say with a straight face that that's of no concern, than that's eye-opening and I would advise you to reconsider your participation in RfA.

Hi, I know this IP appears different(my isp hasn't been holding numbers for any person for very long), I edited Franklin due to the fact that Carlisle and Franklin OH are two different schools and two different towns. Unless something has changed drastically since 1995 when I left that area, it would still be the case. Let me know where you might have obtained this information, so we can verify which is true. I will take your word for it if verified and hope you didn't think I was vandalizing what you wrote. 68.29.137.68 ( talk) 15:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I have deleted your comments from my talk page for violations of WP:AGF and personal attack policies, as well as your peculiar misreading of my comments. Since my comment on its face did not apply to you -- you were the nominator, not a proponent, a distinction I was careful to make, your hostile response was clearly inappropriate. I woud also note that "Old Jabo" is one of twenty-four songs selected by the Smithsonian for its "Classic Blues" collection, prima facie evidence of notability, and that you placed the prod tag on the article less that one minute after its creator, a new editor, had written his first Wikipedian sentence, which a reasonable and fairminded person could easily view as a violation of WP:BITE. I would suggest that, for your penance, you withdraw your poorly informed nomnation for deletion, apologize to the article's creator and offer to help him or her with future editing, and yourself take action to repair the article's defects. But I will not hold my breath. I also think you should review the sorry history of [User:Qworty], whose pattern of abusive behavior is well-documented an indisputable. An editor who take such particular joy in gratuitously and cruelly mocking the dead (e.g., [1]) is someone who deserves strong condemnation, and whose actions provide a roadmap to opportunities for abuse.

addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor. In particular, I would like to thank
Balloonman for putting so much time into reviewing my contributions and writing such a thoughtful nomination statement after knowing me for only a brief period of time (and for convincing me that I was ready to take up the mop now, rather than go through
admin coaching).
To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).
To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)

I replied on Pedro's talk page, but decided to drop you a note anyway. It was a bit out of character I'll admit. I was just a tad miffed at be labeled a hypocrite by two users who I have respect for. It's not like I opposed the candidancy, I stayed neutral so I could take a closer look when I had time.

Hi. I'm curious about your edit comment, speedy declined, page has significant history. . I don't see anything in WP:CSD about how long the edit history may be. I suppose you could make a reasonable argument that this fails A7 because it asserts notability, and that might be a valid reason to decline the speedy, but length of edit history itself doesn't seem valid. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, Hey. I was writing two articles, one named Transformer Search Engine and the other one is for tirgumit. After reading the intro to your page I realized I was doing a commercial to the search engine and to the translation software. I wish to edit those pages and not start from scratch, and there for, a little story, Dr. Seuss style:
Once apon a time in a far far away land
there was a little boy who wished for a dividend. His boss always told him: "work hard. get your work done" but as for that dividend - he said none. So the boy work hard, he became a man, even his boss is now a fan. "Oh, you're so good" the boss always said "but as for that dividend, what are you mad?!" So after lots of pondering and thinking and wondering and sitting and hoping and wishing I had an idea all mighty it was like my head glowed with something light(y) "I should add our softwares in Wikipedia" (and everyone knows it's the number one encyclopedia) And so the story goes on to your hands, Mr. Tan, please help me to be a man (with dividends)

Hi, Tan, it is Bruce Cherner from Bruce Cherner Antique Silver in Acton, MA here.

Hi there. Would it be possible to learn more about the basis for deleting the broken frontier article? I personally thought it contained enough notability to forestall a blink and you miss it deletion.
The site hosts the blogs of several relatively small, though notable comics publishers. It has been bought and sold, and it hosts hundreds of interview with major comics professionals, who presumably would find the site notable enough within the industry to volunteer their time.

Hi Tan,
We are new to the wikipedia scene...or constructing any forms of web-based sites to begin with so pleae bear with us. Today you deleted a page, entitled Heartland International, claiming it was blatant advertising. We are a local nonprofit organization in Chicago and looking to increase awareness and support of our organization's cause. We are also looking to create an informative page on wikipedia as many of our fellow nonprofits already have. We are still in the middle of teaching ourselves the logistics of wikipedia and how to properly format the information in the article. We would appreciate if you could reinstate our page so as we may have the time needed to complete it properly.
Thank you very much. All the Best with your future work.

Yeah, he's probably ready now, but his last RfA closed in April, and I want a nice three month span between the two in order to deflect all the "OMG, power hunger" !votes that a two month period would. Naturally, it's up to him whether he wants to go through with it (seeing as you need nerves of steel to stand the hell it's become now), and if he wants to go now, I'll nominate him, although I'll state to him that I would prefer a month.

Please refactor your warning on my talk page. I did not delete page contents with no explanation. I had explained everything in the edit summary as well as the talk page here. You've basically been tricked by a revert warrior who was blocked for 3RR on multiple pages including that page. Please stick to dealing with genuine vandalism on WP:AIV.

In response to your concerns of edit warring, I was not edit warring. user:Seraphimblade made the same mistake that you have made. user:Gulmammad was simply reverting my edits and Seraphim tarred us with the same brush.

I see you issuing threats to contributors of Wikipedia - it seems you are some sort of administrator - may I respectfully enquire what qualifies you to monitor contributions, and how did you get this job. You and others like you at Wikipedia remain anonymous, no one seems to know exactly what fields you people are qualified in, yet you reign supreme. This is why I use Wikipedia as a second line of information because there is absolutely no information on its contributors.
Do you care to comment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrwboyd ( talk • contribs) 04:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
An Editor is required to have some knowledge of the subject matter he edits, otherwise he will be unable to edit or monitor in a proper manner. Wikipedia, therefore, employs the services of individuals with unverifiable qualifications, resulting in information that cannot be taken seriously because of its dubious origins from unknown persons without properly accredited qualifications. If one seeks a job as a history teacher, one is required to provide proof of one's training in history; it is as simple as that. You also mentioned truth versus verification - you obviously have little understanding of the terms; that which is verifiable is often considered the truth, although there is much in the Holy Bible which remains unverified yet is considered the truth by Christians. Are you saying that Wikipedia will not accept articles on Jesus Christ? After all much of his life is not historically verifiable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrwboyd ( talk • contribs) 05:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure if you are aware, but this article was recently underwent a deletion review ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review). The vote was 4 to 3 in favor of overturning the article versus endorsing the redirect. Since that time the article has consistently been redirected to aplus.net despite the deletion review.

Howdy, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rufus Griscom appears to lean towards delete right now. I think one or two sentences added to the article would make the keep arguments the clear consensus. For me the basic problem is the lack of an assertion of notability. The lead does not establish enough context to understand why this person is notable. As such, I theoretically agree with the comment that this article meets the CSD. However, your keep comment indicates that some research shows the person is notable. I think your vote would be the end of it if the article was improved enough to have it no longer qualify for speedy deletion. As I commented on the AfD though, I have no idea what his claim to notability is, and I suspect that is also the main reason others have voted delete.
I realize neither you nor I have any particular reason to keep the article, but I think a quick edit from you clearly stating why he is notable would close the afd as keep. JackSchmidt ( talk) 17:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello again this is Holtville or as you call me Holt. You did not give me enough time to respond to your question so here is the answer. In the last sentence I meant that if you give someone a FINAL WARNING that means if they do it again then they will be blocked. But, if you give them a final warning after final warning then they will think you are not living up to your word. So they think by you doing this they can keep vandalizing pages and no one can stop them.

Hey, I know diplomacy is not my metier, but I would ask that you please don’t lose respect for EditoroftheWiki or any person here on Wikipedia due to isolated commentary that you may find perplexing or exasperating. People say and do silly things, both in the online and offline environment, and in the ultimate scheme of things none of this is going to register. Let’s just try to have fun here and acknowledge that sometimes people make little mistakes. Just my two cents. :) Ecoleetage ( talk) 18:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Tan, I really think you should cool down. I'm not trying to gain your respect here, but you seem to be living off the drama of this RFA. Don't you have better things to do, like working on an article? Apologies are an important part of life, especially if you are looking for a job and completely mess up. I'd doubt you had any respect for me in the first place, considering you ill-reaserched comment that we removed. Please, there is better things to do.

Is a podcast number #5 in its itunes category and #1 on the feature page non notable? Could you comment then on my case for its notability. I'll repeat it here:
I would like to think if a podcast has a demonstrated history of interviewing noted people with national or international reputations, that would be highly indicative of a podcast's reach. For example the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast was only allowed when it become apparent Randi was semi regular contributor. Metrics are very hard to get for a podcast. Digg votes was one of the suggested metrics. A metric, one itunes uses to rank popularity, is the number of comments. DFA has 44.
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df1.jpg
By way of comparison The Economist has 26 reviews.
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df2.jpg
This NPR show has 25 reviews:
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df3.jpg
Odd, I think a very non-notable podcast would draw nearly twice as many reviews.
These two podcasts are also top podcasts as evidenced by their placement on the itunes page:
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df4.jpg
Dogma Free America is the top featured podcast in the itunes "general" category as well as #5, one more than Pat Condell
http://www.gokorea.info/nonrand/df5.jpg
As well a google search on "dogma free america" turns up 6,030 hits. A lot of people are talking about the podcast, no?
This must all be evidence that the podcast is notable.
I do realize the quality of the initial writeups were probably crap. My own first pass at the The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe podcast was a little bare:
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Skeptics%27_Guide_to_the_Universe&oldid=99278491
But if you examine its history it came along well.

Hello Tanthalas39:
Would you kindly take a look at the situation with the "Gabriel Murphy" article? This is an article that I think you will agree shows notability but has been deleted and now protected, even though the first AfD ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gabriel_Murphy_1st_nom) was to keep, when that article contained much less content.
I have opened a Deletion Review for this article and was hoping you could render an opinion on the situation. Several users had redirected "Gabriel Murphy" to aplus.net, but that article no longer exists. I really think this article has enough sources and notability to warrant its own article.

Thanks for the feedback. I personally feel the "Gabriel Murphy" article should be its own article rather than a redirect. I am unsure why it should be a redirect to Aplus when it clearly establishes notability on its own. Do you agree?
Hello Tanthalas39- thanks. Can you tell me exactly what criteria, in your opinion, this article does not meet that would exclude it from Wikipedia?

Hey Tan, I just changed your userpage protection so that only admins can actually move User:Tanthalas39 to a different page. Autoconfirmed users can still edit your userpage, but they can't move it anymore. When you click on "protect" tab, you'll notice that there is a little checkbox under the right side window - if you check it, then you can change the move option to be different from the edit option. Make sense? Change it back if you want random editors to have the ability to move your userpage to User:Tanthalas39 luvs the sk8ter girl, or some such.

Hi, I think I need an admins help here. A user (Lycianaff1) claiming to be the subject of the Wikipedia biography ( Lycia Naff, ) in question has taken over the page and started editing it...at first changing it into a vanity page (links to their agent, favorable reviews, etc.), changing their sourced birth date to a much younger one (it is a B movie actresse's page), and removing sourced material they didn't feel was flattering. When these edits got reverted the user just started to blank the page. I think the user needs to be blocked from editing the page and the page reverted (its blanked by this person now) for a lot of reasons: the editor is the (self-claimed) subject of the page, they've hacked the page repeatedly, they are using it as a self promoting PR page, they've blanked the page, etc. 96.238.177.90 ( talk) 21:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I recently submitted a page on a local company (I am a resident of Halifax, Nova Scotia) and it has been deleted. After carefully reading the reasons for deletion I recognize that I didn't meet the criteria for notability, but I do believe that Nautel is a notable company.
Nautel is a manufacturer of solid state transmitters and is recognized as having invented solid state technology nearly forty years ago. In an industry that is only now moving away from vacuum tube technology, this is an incredible achievement. Nautel has a presence in more than 170 countries around the world and has successfully installed more than 7000 transmitters since 1969.
Nautel is also notable for its involvement in the advancement of HD Radio in the United States. Along with the other major transmitter manufacturers (Harris, Continental, BE) Nautel has worked with the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) in its efforts to lower the cost for radio stations transitioning to digital radio through the development of embedded exporters ( http://www.radioworld.com/pages/s.0100/t.13025.html). Nautel is also currently involved in a petition to the FCC in association with the NAB to raise digital radio injection levels to -10dB ( http://www.radioworld.com/dailynews/index.cgi). Raising the levels of HD radio is seen by many as being essential to the success of HD radio in the United States.
Nautel has recently successfully tested its new eLoran (Enhanced Long Range Navigation) technology at the United States Loran facility in Wildwood, NJ. This represents a significant feat as Nautel will be only the second company to offer an eLoran solution and will have done so using technology that was widely considered unable to create the eLoran pulse ( http://satellitenavigation.wordpress.com/category/eloran/).
Working in conjunction with AdAstra Rocket Company, Nautel is currently developing technology to facilitate a new form of rocket propulsion know as VASIMR. This new propulsion system uses plasma that has been super heated by RF (radio frequency) and will allow for much longer flights while eliminate the need for traditional rocket fuels in space exploration ( http://www.adastrarocket.com/vasimr.html)(http://www.radio-guide.com/#Radio%20Guide%202008%20On-Line)
Nautel has also received considerable press for its innovative broadcast transmitters. The two major industry papers, Radio World and Radio Magazine, both recognized Nautel products at the industries largest convention held this April in Las Vegas. The NX50 50kW AM transmitter and the NV40 40 kW FM transmitter both recieved awards for innovation ( http://radiomagonline.com/features/2008-pick-hits-nab-show/index1.html)(http://www.rwonline.com/cool.stuff.shtml).
Unfortunately the broadcast manufacturing industry gets little mainstream press. Within the radio industry Nautel is seen as an innovative and well respected company. Working out of a small village in Nova Scotia with 150 employees, Nautel is able to compete globally with larger conglomerates like Harris and BE and is still recognized as an industry leader.
I realize that I may not have justified the notability of this company before I submitted my article. I thought that I would be able to return to this article to elaborate upon it and was hoping that others would see my article and be encouraged to share their knowledge as well.
Sorry for the length of this message, I just wanted to get this all out in one shot. I hope you read it all and I hope you will reconsider the deletion of my article.
If there are any criteria I must meet in order for my article to be reinstated, please let me know.

On top of all that this article meets the notability standards its just no one let me finish the article to prove it.

OK. Basically, I decided that
the image used on the Main Page to illustrate Today's Featured Article is of fairly low quality. So I cleaned it up and tried to upload a new version, not remembering that anything on the Main Page is cascade-protected.
So, what I am asking you to do is upload my new version for me. How to do that is fairly complicated:
If you don't want to go through all that hassle, I can ask another admin to do it. I just asked you because I saw you revert vandalism on my userpage, so I knew you were on right now. Thanks for your time,

Before writing my article, I took care of reading similar pages in order to check what it was convenient to describe and how to quote sources. I visited pages like Jahia, Brunner_CMS, Clearspace, Powerfront_CMS and I tried to get inspired in order to write my article.

Hello,
You recently (I beleive)deleted an entry I was working on for the Davinci Institute. As far as it being deleted because it lacked "notability" - I actually read the content guidelines on notability and credibility and tried to post references that evidenced both criteria. When I went to post these references nothing would appear - same when I tried to "link" them to external publications (that NOTE our organization as an informational resource.) I went back through and tried to figure out what I'd done wrong and I was following the referenece steps thoroughly.
As we are often soiught out by, and quoted by, the Denver Post, The Rocky Mountain News and other state and national information publications (like the Heritage foundation for instance is quoted and used as an information resource and IS listed on wikipedia) I believe that is a "qualification" - a third party reliable source referring to our organization - for notability.
Please help me understand 1) possibly why I couldn't post references and 2) AM I mistaken in thinking that using major news resouces as a notability/credibility determinant is incorrect (when that seems to be what your guidelines require)?
Thanks so much for your help - in advance,
Sincerely

User:FlagFreak placed the {{ db}} tag on the article on the basis that it was recreation of a previously deleted article. Trouble is, the article was substantially different from the deleted article. It was actually a subarticle of Google Street View in order to keep that article more manageable. If FlagFreak really wants this article deleted, there should be an AfD discussion.
Please keep in mind also that I have been editing Wikipedia for nearly 2 years and have over 4000 edits. FlagFreak has only been around for about 2 months with fewer than 200 edits. That should not be used as grounds for decision making, but I do believe this article, which was far from complete, should undergo AfD if it is to be deleted.

I have a question for you..... Dusti SPEAK!! 21:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Just wanted to say thank you for your support. I have to pop out for half an hour; could you keep an eye on my talk page? I don't intend to lift the protection at the moment. I'll review things in an hour, as promised. We'll see how it is then. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Why is my reason 'stupid'? Ryan Lupin has seen a vast increase in contributions made in the past few months. Looking through his contribs, this is largely due to the automated Huggle vandal-fighting tool. I just feel that there is more to adminship the using Huggle. I know this user has contributed in other areas, but Huggle edits outweigh everything else by a long, long way. There have been some silly contributions brought up by other users. I don't appreciate my oppose reason being called 'stupid' by a fellow administrator, who like myself, has been participating in RfA for now over a year. We both know what we're talking about, why do we have to contradict each other. People now defend Kurt Weber for continuing to put daft opposes on RfAs. If my oppose is silly, then what is his? (And I'm not bringing Kurt into this particular case don't think that, I'm not starting a debate on him). Lra drama 22:06, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Tanthalas, many thanks for your attention to this article. May I interpret your remarks at RfPP to mean that if the IP indulges in more of the same then I should draw it to your attention? Best, AlasdairGreen27 ( talk) 16:09, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for protecting the article. It had been vandalised by multiple IP addresses for quite some time.
Good move :).

Thanks for the move. However, I saw you redirected Eminem's fifth studio album to Encore (Eminem album). I reverted that edit because, although it's perfectly right, there are still a ton of links all over wikipedia that link "Eminem's fifth studio album", intending his new album to come out. Until many of those links aren't fixed, I feel that "Eminem's fifth studio album" should redirect to "Eminem's sixth studio album". Hope you agree.

[19] You indicated in your support that you don't find this to be of any concern. Ryan basically calls a very fair viewpoint ignorant, impugning several editors, backing it up with zero evidence. In your own words, if you can honestly say with a straight face that that's of no concern, than that's eye-opening and I would advise you to reconsider your participation in RfA.
