Hey dude, if you remember deleting the page for the god awful group Blood on the Dance Floor (which is documented here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Blood_on_the_Dance_Floor_(group)) it got recreated here with the title Blood on the Dance Floor (band) with the new dab "band" to avoid the salting of it. The page should be re-deleted and that title should be salted as well since this is merely trying to get around its deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.225.129.6 ( talk) 07:02, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I had thought that notability had been established. The publishing firm is notable. In its day (1970s), it was one of three of the biggest sheet music publishers of pop music on the planet. Would it be possible for you — or whomever removed the article — to email me the latest version so that I can critique it and determine whether it's fixable? To that end, I may attempt to edit it in a way that might satisfy naysayers. Eurodog ( talk) 04:11, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Irredentism is related to Pan-Iranism article, not Greater Iran as cultural region. It has been discussed before six years about it [1], but some still makes the same mistakes. Cheers. -- 109.60.7.172 ( talk) 02:07, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
Hello Bushranger
I would like to inform you that the edits I made are in accordance with common sources, the reality and even sources used on Wikipedia concerning the same themes on other threads. I am willing to prove that to you if you wish so people will get the correct information they deserve and not false and forged information that is written without any sources at all. How can that be accepted on Wikipedia? Especially when those claims that are used are wrong?
The problem with the current situation in that thread is that it's "status quo" imposed by you is the false version without any sources/references that was created by 1-2 well-known Iranian nationalists on Wikipedia. The same material has been copied from the "Iran-Iraq relations" thread to the "Greater Iran" thread and vice versa by the same editors. You can yourself witness the similarties of the UNSOURCED claims.
As said before sources should be used to support so many supposed claims - that in reality are wrong.
I hope that you will take a look at it so we can have a discussion about this subject.-- 83.95.250.247 ( talk) 02:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
I like your advice and I agree completely with your approach. I will do as told. After that I can only hope for consensus to be reached. My problem with some parts of the text in those two threads (in reality they are a little minority of those two treads) concerns the unsourced claims, lack of will to post any references when asked so and obviously the fact that the claims are wrong and not backed up by any sources. It's even so absurd that there is information on those two mentioned pages that go against the SOURCED information written on pages concerning the demographics of Iraq and Iran on Wikipedia itself and other threads as well. It obviously irritates me because those few edits were made by 1-2 well-known Iranian nationalists and they were completely unwillng to even discuss this matter which I am. When some of them are able to post a reliable source then I will have no problem with their contributions. But the reality is that this is yet to happen and unless it does so I will obviously oppose such edits which I also did. In hindsigt my approach was not the best - I admit that but that can happen during heated discussions. At least I did not use threats as the user Iranshahr did or invented lies about my person as seen by the discussion page concerning him and me on the administrator discussion page. I would appreciate if my two posts on your wall would reach the administrators or people of importance on Wikipedia - because my current post speak much better for my case than those I posted in the heat of the moment (and very quickly) on the administrator board. Thank you very much.-- 83.95.250.247 ( talk) 02:51, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

I stumbled on this, and you so perfectly meet my expectations.
Now here's an idea. Why don't you, instead of wasting all your time bullying people, threatening them, and using the 3rr, and the hapless admins as your cudgel, why don't you put a tiny fraction of all that effort you're wasting creating conflict, and put it into a simple, easy debate on the talk page.

Just convalescing when this old (1939) "B" movie comes on, Five Came Back which not only stars an obscure airliner prototype, the Capelis XC-12 (which tried to reduce itself to parts when flown), a young Lucille Ball, a good cast featuring Chester Morris but also a screenplay with Dalton Trumbo as one of the team of screenwriters, the fiery director John Farrow and the very first of the airplane disaster genre films (I think other like films may have preceded it but this was the first I could find).

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article
Bivalvia, and Pool B sees
Grapple X (
submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees
Muboshgu (
submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's
Ruby2010 (
submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film
Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.
Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

Can I ask you to withdraw this category? Here's my reason- Arab is a town in multiple counties. There is a person from it, and who knows maybe others. I did a google search but I was getting Arabs not born in Arab Alabama. Towns that fall in multiple counties are what I strongly feel should be a exception to the WP:SMALLCAT. BTW if you haven't noticed, most of these SMALLCAT nominees you or I have found were created by the same editor. Why did she do it I'd love to know.
I spend time populating town and county categories. A few days ago I filled up Humboldt, Tennesse. Humboldt is a multiple county town. I also created 'People from Strawberry Plains, Tennessee', an unincorporated area with a unknown population but with 3 notable people from it. Strawberry Plains is in 3 counties.
How do I nominate multiple towns at once? I'd go through a state(Say Oklahoma) and put up like ten towns all at once. Do I have to manually nominate the towns and make the entries on the CFD page? If so, how? Please write back. ...William 10:51, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Just stumbled on this article, filled with mistakes, but was a unique look at Henry Ford's vision for a "Model T of the Air".

I wasn't aware this article had been tagged for deletion and not that au fait with wikipedia, I didn't have time to defend it. I'd be most grateful if you would give me the opportunity to do so. As I'm sure you're aware the article had been online for 5 years and had only been challenged once, unsuccessfully, when it first went up in 2007. It has since been edited by many wikipedia contributors for from & style and not been challenged until now.
Reading the comments I believe, in part the problem maybe with Google, many of the articles that made Paul notable at the time, 2007 have now since disappeared from Google searches (I did a quick search on Leonardo DiCaprio and his 1st page results were his Wikipedia page, IMDb, Twitter, Facebook etc. rather than full of 3rd party sources that would make him notable - but I'm sure we would all agree that he is?). Although much of what Paul appears in is either temporary (eg. BBC News) or not online (eg. E.g. Private Eye), he has continued to make numerous appearances on National Television & Radio at regular intervals to comment on issues he specialises in since.
It was my understanding that once notability was established ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NTEMP#Notability_is_not_temporary) “If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic”
Any guidance would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

I found Night Flight on TCM this week, on the first-time broadcast of a long-lost all-star epic. Despite heavy-hitters John and Lionel Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Clark Gable, Robert Montgomery, and Myrna Loy, Night Flight (1933) has been out of circulation for nearly 70 years. MGM withdrew it in 1942 when the company's rights to the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince) story expired. It was finally shown again earlier in 2011 at the TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, and now released to DVD in 2012 and television on August 10, 2012.

The original The Dawn Patrol (1930) seems to have been "lost" under its renamed Flight Commander moniker. The interesting thing is not that there was a classic 1938 remake with Errol Flynn and David Niven, but that the Darryl F. Zanuck feature was the subject of a lawsuit by Howard Hughes who claimed that the film ripped off his Hell's Angels which was in production at the same time. Hughes was sure that Zanuck was creating a hackneyed and "cheap" film, decided to buy up the rights to every available World War I-era aircraft in Southern California, forcing the Warner Bros. production to resort to odd-looking and inaccurate aircraft. Zanuck came up with a clever ruse to defeat Hughes' machinations, he rushed his film into post-production and had it out before the Hughes film. Then at the trial that followed, both films were screened consecutively in the courtroom, scene-for-scene, to prove that the films were dissimilar. Hughes and Zanuck apparently continued the feud out of court and settled it on the golf course, where Zanuck won the round and a reprieve from the next threatened lawsuit. The Dawn Patrol went on to become an instant smash while Hell's Angels was the more significant film and became an iconic example of the genre, but never recouped its enormous production costs (for one thing, it had started out as a silent and was laboriously reshot as a "talkie" but also featured deadly midair crashes and even Hughes taking a disastrous turn as stunt pilot, rolling himself and his aircraft into a ball).

WRT to this recent comment -- I dispute I accused you, or any other participant in that discussion of bad faith. I make an effort to never accuse others of bad faith, as I believe that is bad for the project. I don't believe you will find more than a very small handful of lapses from this commitment in my entire contribution history.
To assert that I think you, or other contributors, are mistaken, is not an accusation of bad faith. I think after a moment's reflection, you will agree that believing other are mistaken is not the same as a suggestion they are showing bad faith. Various wikidocuments make this point.

Hello, you may remember this article as being flooded with excessively large and irrelevant content. The user appears to have started a third account, Shijo jose kalappurackal. Although this user seems to have changed their behaviour and started using their sandbox (rather than articles) for test edits, they continued adding irrelevant content (however now sourced) as shown by this recent edit. The edit has since been removed by User:Sarahj2107 as a copyvio with the URL links added at the article's talk page. I simply wanted to notify that the user has returned. Additionally, the article was quiet since your protection aside from this advert-like content submitted at the article's talk page which I subsequently removed. I honestly believe this user has the best intentions but they simply need to familiarise themselves with the guidelines.

Yes hello editor and fellow wiki-user,
I had recently created two football articles for players based in the United States and Liechtenstein, but both articles have been deleted. I'd like to have legitimate reasons as to why these articles were targeted, had requests to be deleted at the same time, and then were deleted without conversation?
The only reason that I have been given so far was a concern that I read, which was not a concern at all as far as I am concerned, and was as follows: " concern was: Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in fully pro league.)". I understand the second part of this 'statement' as there is truth to the fact that both of these players are not paid professionals currently, however, to just make a statement saying "Article about a footballer who fails" is not only poorly written but it's also quite flippant.
I happen to have a working relationship with the football club 'Orange County Blue Star' that the player 'David Ponce' plays for, and if you read the Orange County Blue Star article you'll see that he has been mentioned in the clubs history and is also on their current roster. The club plays in the United States soccer league system for the 'USL Premier Development League', where the Blue Star are a highly regarded club. The team has had many players, both past and present, that have started their careers at this club and have made names for themselves. I believe that since David Ponce has been mentioned in that particular article with such highly regarded players, that he also deserves to have his own article as well.
The other player, 'Diego Haas', of Liechtenstein, has also been deleted. When I created the article of Diego, it was around the time that he was still eligible to play for the 'Liechtenstein national under-21 football team', and he had several caps for this team at that particular time. At one time in his football career, he was regarded as one of the best youth players in the country and he had played for the club 'FC Vaduz' as well as 'FC Balzers' and he is now currently playing for 'FC Triesen'. All of these teams are Liechtensteiner football clubs and are part of the seven official teams in the nation. In his career so far, he has played for three of the seven clubs in the country and he has only recently turned 24 years of age. Furthermore, all of these clubs play in Swiss Football League and compete in the Liechtenstein Cup annually, which means that the clubs and the player himself have significance. He is also on the FC Triesen roster on the website that they have and the wikipedia article as well.
The player David Ponce is still currently at University, but in 2013 he will most likely be playing professional football. I know this privileged information because I am involved with the club, however, further information regarding that matter will not be discussed further because it is privileged information as I said.
Can both of these articles please be allowed to be reinstated? I feel like both were misjudged. I put a lot of work into writing those articles and had put in my best efforts to make them look excellent for this website. I would like to add that there are far worse articles that I have read on wikipedia, not only about football, but other matters in the world as well.
A swift reply would be greatly appreciated, thank you

As an antidote to all the cr*p you have to deal with, here is a little delightful, aviation-themed, romantic comedy with the unlikely pairing of James Cagney and Bette Davis. The fun is finding out that Davis actually took a tumble into a cactus and had 45 quills unceremoniously pulled out of her behind. The director left the inadvertent event in the final film.

Bushranger, you seem like a pragmatic guy. We've got an IP serial reverter ( User:97.86.27.5 ) who refuses to discuss or provide an edit summary for an edit. He/she has made eight reverts in the past 48 hours, and refuses to respond to any of the multitude of warnings on his/her talk page (including three final warnings, the most recent of which I just posted.) Would you take a peek at the article and the editor, and see what can be done to at least slow them down and get their attention? The 3RR noticeboard would handle Hawaii Five-0 issue, but there's a larger issue with disruptive editing and serial reverting, which may also be going on at List of Mentalist episodes that needs more careful attention.

Both are on a plane crash in the Sudan. 2012 Sudan helicopter crash and 2012 Sudan helicopter crash. The latter is a stub, so I'd suggest dumping that one. Also the crash didn't involve a helicopter but a Antonov An-24, so the first article is in need of a title fix. It's bedtime here for me, but I know you edit later. Also would the crash go on the commercial air crash list? This reads like a government plane crash. Can you make the appropriate fixes so far as the duplicate articles and the wrong name go? Thanks. ...William 02:07, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

A couple of days ago, I nominated Category:Nauru politics and government template for a name change.

2010 Carfax 400, a
Good Article
The 2010 Carfax 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 15, 2010 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway. There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television.

I'm posting here instead of ANI because you were the last admin to comment there, and I don't know if this is a big deal or not. When I followed a link on ANI, I was surprised by the frankness of the post, so my question is: Is the link to an OWS blog in this edit overstepping the bounds of privacy? I guess it fall under WP:OUTING? I don't know, it just appears as if it is too much overly personal info about the guy.

Advice needed.
Star Trek DS9 episodes article contain a link like this[ to in the references section. First of all, it is link to another WP article which seems like a clear cut version, secondly all the linked to article is is a list of DS9 and links to them. There is not one scintilla of information on the page that can be considered a source for these episode articles. One editor defends it via WP: SELFPUB and WP:PSTS.

Bushranger, I'm sorry to bother you but I seem to be lost and confused in an administrative spiral. In this thread you said that my query should have been raised in WP:DRN rather than in WP:AN/I. I don't quite understand this and I'm hoping for some explanation. Aside from the fact that an admin at the Help Desk suggested (see here) that I raise the issue "at somewhere like WP:AN," it seems to me that WP:DRN isn't the right place. I don't have any experience with that page but it says it's for resolving content disputes and is run by non-admin volunteers. I'm not seeking to resolve a content dispute; I'm simply seeking to have an administrative decision (the closing of a discussion) reversed so that the underlying discussion can run its course. I would suspect that the good folks at WP:DRN would just say sorry, we can't help you and point me somewhere else. -- Nstrauss ( talk) 07:13, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I had thought that notability had been established. The publishing firm is notable. In its day (1970s), it was one of three of the biggest sheet music publishers of pop music on the planet. Would it be possible for you — or whomever removed the article — to email me the latest version so that I can critique it and determine whether it's fixable?

Hello Bushranger
I would like to inform you that the edits I made are in accordance with common sources, the reality and even sources used on Wikipedia concerning the same themes on other threads. I am willing to prove that to you if you wish so people will get the correct information they deserve and not false and forged information that is written without any sources at all. How can that be accepted on Wikipedia? Especially when those claims that are used are wrong?
The problem with the current situation in that thread is that it's "status quo" imposed by you is the false version without any sources/references that was created by 1-2 well-known Iranian nationalists on Wikipedia. The same material has been copied from the "Iran-Iraq relations" thread to the "Greater Iran" thread and vice versa by the same editors. You can yourself witness the similarties of the UNSOURCED claims.
As said before sources should be used to support so many supposed claims - that in reality are wrong.
I hope that you will take a look at it so we can have a discussion about this subject.-- 83.95.250.247 ( talk) 02:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
I like your advice and I agree completely with your approach. I will do as told. After that I can only hope for consensus to be reached. My problem with some parts of the text in those two threads (in reality they are a little minority of those two treads) concerns the unsourced claims, lack of will to post any references when asked so and obviously the fact that the claims are wrong and not backed up by any sources. It's even so absurd that there is information on those two mentioned pages that go against the SOURCED information written on pages concerning the demographics of Iraq and Iran on Wikipedia itself and other threads as well. It obviously irritates me because those few edits were made by 1-2 well-known Iranian nationalists and they were completely unwillng to even discuss this matter which I am. When some of them are able to post a reliable source then I will have no problem with their contributions. But the reality is that this is yet to happen and unless it does so I will obviously oppose such edits which I also did. In hindsigt my approach was not the best - I admit that but that can happen during heated discussions. At least I did not use threats as the user Iranshahr did or invented lies about my person as seen by the discussion page concerning him and me on the administrator discussion page. I would appreciate if my two posts on your wall would reach the administrators or people of importance on Wikipedia - because my current post speak much better for my case than those I posted in the heat of the moment (and very quickly) on the administrator board. Thank you very much.-- 83.95.250.247 ( talk) 02:51, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Now here's an idea. Why don't you, instead of wasting all your time bullying people, threatening them, and using the 3rr, and the hapless admins as your cudgel, why don't you put a tiny fraction of all that effort you're wasting creating conflict, and put it into a simple, easy debate on the talk page.

Just convalescing when this old (1939) "B" movie comes on, Five Came Back which not only stars an obscure airliner prototype, the Capelis XC-12 (which tried to reduce itself to parts when flown), a young Lucille Ball, a good cast featuring Chester Morris but also a screenplay with Dalton Trumbo as one of the team of screenwriters, the fiery director John Farrow and the very first of the airplane disaster genre films (I think other like films may have preceded it but this was the first I could find).

Bivalvia, and Pool B sees
Grapple X (

Muboshgu (

Ruby2010 (
submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film
Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.
Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions!

Can I ask you to withdraw this category? Here's my reason- Arab is a town in multiple counties. There is a person from it, and who knows maybe others. I did a google search but I was getting Arabs not born in Arab Alabama. Towns that fall in multiple counties are what I strongly feel should be a exception to the WP:SMALLCAT. BTW if you haven't noticed, most of these SMALLCAT nominees you or I have found were created by the same editor. Why did she do it I'd love to know.
I spend time populating town and county categories. A few days ago I filled up Humboldt, Tennesse. Humboldt is a multiple county town. I also created 'People from Strawberry Plains, Tennessee', an unincorporated area with a unknown population but with 3 notable people from it. Strawberry Plains is in 3 counties.
How do I nominate multiple towns at once? I'd go through a state(Say Oklahoma) and put up like ten towns all at once. Do I have to manually nominate the towns and make the entries on the CFD page? If so, how? Please write back. ...William 10:51, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Just stumbled on this article, filled with mistakes, but was a unique look at Henry Ford's vision for a "Model T of the Air". The single-seat Ford Flivver was designed with Mr. Ford's instructions that it "fit inside his office".

I wasn't aware this article had been tagged for deletion and not that au fait with wikipedia, I didn't have time to defend it. I'd be most grateful if you would give me the opportunity to do so. As I'm sure you're aware the article had been online for 5 years and had only been challenged once, unsuccessfully, when it first went up in 2007. It has since been edited by many wikipedia contributors for from & style and not been challenged until now.
Reading the comments I believe, in part the problem maybe with Google, many of the articles that made Paul notable at the time, 2007 have now since disappeared from Google searches (I did a quick search on Leonardo DiCaprio and his 1st page results were his Wikipedia page, IMDb, Twitter, Facebook etc. rather than full of 3rd party sources that would make him notable - but I'm sure we would all agree that he is?). Although much of what Paul appears in is either temporary (eg. BBC News) or not online (eg. E.g. Private Eye), he has continued to make numerous appearances on National Television & Radio at regular intervals to comment on issues he specialises in since.
It was my understanding that once notability was established ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NTEMP#Notability_is_not_temporary) “If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic”
Any guidance would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

I found Night Flight on TCM this week, on the first-time broadcast of a long-lost all-star epic. Despite heavy-hitters John and Lionel Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Clark Gable, Robert Montgomery, and Myrna Loy, Night Flight (1933) has been out of circulation for nearly 70 years. MGM withdrew it in 1942 when the company's rights to the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince) story expired. It was finally shown again earlier in 2011 at the TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, and now released to DVD in 2012 and television on August 10, 2012.

The original The Dawn Patrol (1930) seems to have been "lost" under its renamed Flight Commander moniker. The interesting thing is not that there was a classic 1938 remake with Errol Flynn and David Niven, but that the Darryl F. Zanuck feature was the subject of a lawsuit by Howard Hughes who claimed that the film ripped off his Hell's Angels which was in production at the same time. Hughes was sure that Zanuck was creating a hackneyed and "cheap" film, decided to buy up the rights to every available World War I-era aircraft in Southern California, forcing the Warner Bros. production to resort to odd-looking and inaccurate aircraft. Zanuck came up with a clever ruse to defeat Hughes' machinations, he rushed his film into post-production and had it out before the Hughes film. Then at the trial that followed, both films were screened consecutively in the courtroom, scene-for-scene, to prove that the films were dissimilar. Hughes and Zanuck apparently continued the feud out of court and settled it on the golf course, where Zanuck won the round and a reprieve from the next threatened lawsuit. The Dawn Patrol went on to become an instant smash while Hell's Angels was the more significant film and became an iconic example of the genre, but never recouped its enormous production costs (for one thing, it had started out as a silent and was laboriously reshot as a "talkie" but also featured deadly midair crashes and even Hughes taking a disastrous turn as stunt pilot, rolling himself and his aircraft into a ball).

WRT to this recent comment -- I dispute I accused you, or any other participant in that discussion of bad faith. I make an effort to never accuse others of bad faith, as I believe that is bad for the project. I don't believe you will find more than a very small handful of lapses from this commitment in my entire contribution history.
To assert that I think you, or other contributors, are mistaken, is not an accusation of bad faith. I think after a moment's reflection, you will agree that believing other are mistaken is not the same as a suggestion they are showing bad faith. Various wikidocuments make this point.

Hello, you may remember this article as being flooded with excessively large and irrelevant content. The user appears to have started a third account, Shijo jose kalappurackal. Although this user seems to have changed their behaviour and started using their sandbox (rather than articles) for test edits, they continued adding irrelevant content (however now sourced) as shown by this recent edit. The edit has since been removed by User:Sarahj2107 as a copyvio with the URL links added at the article's talk page. I simply wanted to notify that the user has returned. Additionally, the article was quiet since your protection aside from this advert-like content submitted at the article's talk page which I subsequently removed. I honestly believe this user has the best intentions but they simply need to familiarise themselves with the guidelines.

Yes hello editor and fellow wiki-user,
I had recently created two football articles for players based in the United States and Liechtenstein, but both articles have been deleted. I'd like to have legitimate reasons as to why these articles were targeted, had requests to be deleted at the same time, and then were deleted without conversation?
The only reason that I have been given so far was a concern that I read, which was not a concern at all as far as I am concerned, and was as follows: " concern was: Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in fully pro league.)". I understand the second part of this 'statement' as there is truth to the fact that both of these players are not paid professionals currently, however, to just make a statement saying "Article about a footballer who fails" is not only poorly written but it's also quite flippant.
I happen to have a working relationship with the football club 'Orange County Blue Star' that the player 'David Ponce' plays for, and if you read the Orange County Blue Star article you'll see that he has been mentioned in the clubs history and is also on their current roster. The club plays in the United States soccer league system for the 'USL Premier Development League', where the Blue Star are a highly regarded club. The team has had many players, both past and present, that have started their careers at this club and have made names for themselves. I believe that since David Ponce has been mentioned in that particular article with such highly regarded players, that he also deserves to have his own article as well.
The other player, 'Diego Haas', of Liechtenstein, has also been deleted. When I created the article of Diego, it was around the time that he was still eligible to play for the 'Liechtenstein national under-21 football team', and he had several caps for this team at that particular time. At one time in his football career, he was regarded as one of the best youth players in the country and he had played for the club 'FC Vaduz' as well as 'FC Balzers' and he is now currently playing for 'FC Triesen'. All of these teams are Liechtensteiner football clubs and are part of the seven official teams in the nation. In his career so far, he has played for three of the seven clubs in the country and he has only recently turned 24 years of age. Furthermore, all of these clubs play in Swiss Football League and compete in the Liechtenstein Cup annually, which means that the clubs and the player himself have significance. He is also on the FC Triesen roster on the website that they have and the wikipedia article as well.
The player David Ponce is still currently at University, but in 2013 he will most likely be playing professional football. I know this privileged information because I am involved with the club, however, further information regarding that matter will not be discussed further because it is privileged information as I said.
Can both of these articles please be allowed to be reinstated? I feel like both were misjudged. I put a lot of work into writing those articles and had put in my best efforts to make them look excellent for this website. I would like to add that there are far worse articles that I have read on wikipedia, not only about football, but other matters in the world as well.
A swift reply would be greatly appreciated, thank you

Bushranger, you seem like a pragmatic guy. We've got an IP serial reverter ( User:97.86.27.5 ) who refuses to discuss or provide an edit summary for an edit. He/she has made eight reverts in the past 48 hours, and refuses to respond to any of the multitude of warnings on his/her talk page (including three final warnings, the most recent of which I just posted.) Would you take a peek at the article and the editor, and see what can be done to at least slow them down and get their attention?

Both are on a plane crash in the Sudan. 2012 Sudan helicopter crash and 2012 Sudan helicopter crash. The latter is a stub, so I'd suggest dumping that one. Also the crash didn't involve a helicopter but a Antonov An-24, so the first article is in need of a title fix. It's bedtime here for me, but I know you edit later. Also would the crash go on the commercial air crash list? This reads like a government plane crash. Can you make the appropriate fixes so far as the duplicate articles and the wrong name go?

Dear Friend! My name is Yuriy Kvach. I have created the Category:Non-indigenous fish species in Ukraine which was moved to Category:Introduced freshwater fish of Ukraine by you. I was buisy and did not take a part in the discussion about the category name changing. But I disagree with the new name. The category consists of not only freshwater fishes (you can check it!)m but also marine and brackishwater species. So, it should be better to change the name to Category:Introduced fish of Ukraine. What do you thing about it? Thank You! Sincerely Yours. -- Ykvach ( talk) 15:11, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Bushranger. How mush longer will the deletion debate for Inkey Jones need to go on for? I see 6 deletes and 1 keep so far. Most of the article still does not have any substantial references, apart from an interview and the self-published source.
Also, how can I request an
WP:SPI or have someone confirm whether
Sj838 (the article creator) and
Popetman (who is resisting changes to the article) have the same IP address?

2010 Carfax 400, a
Good Article
The 2010 Carfax 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 15, 2010 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway. There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television.

I'm posting here instead of ANI because you were the last admin to comment there, and I don't know if this is a big deal or not. When I followed a link on ANI, I was surprised by the frankness of the post, so my question is: Is the link to an OWS blog in this edit overstepping the bounds of privacy? I guess it fall under WP:OUTING? I don't know, it just appears as if it is too much overly personal info about the guy. I'll leave it to you; if it is no big deal then let it be, but if it is an unnecessary link then please handle it appropriately. Regards.

![]() | On 27 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article MT explosive motorboat, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the pilot of the MT explosive motorboat was intended to deliberately jump overboard as part of his job? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/MT explosive motorboat. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Advice needed.
Star Trek DS9 episodes article contain a link like this[ to in the references section. First of all, it is link to another WP article which seems like a clear cut version, secondly all the linked to article is is a list of DS9 and links to them. There is not one scintilla of information on the page that can be considered a source for these episode articles. One editor defends it via WP: SELFPUB and WP:PSTS.
I've been pulling out [17] these links, but somebody keeps insisting on putting them in again [18]. What's your advice? Yes and its been discussed. [19] ...William 01:11, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for nominating the rest of category:Space programs for renaming after I started that little project. – Fayenatic L ondon 10:48, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Bushranger. I have a proposal at the village pump about introducing a color scheme to the text editor so it is easier for newer editors to differentiate between different kinds of syntax, particularly references. I'd welcome your feedback at the village pump whenever you have some time. I, Jethrobot drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 04:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Check out 1956 Scottish Airlines Stansted crash and Air Jordan Flight 601. I'm not sure, so I will let you take a look. ...William 23:34, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Hey Bushranger, are you going to run this time around? (If not, given a complete explanation in the following box: ¤) - Dank ( push to talk) 22:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Bushranger, I'm sorry to bother you but I seem to be lost and confused in an administrative spiral. In this thread you said that my query should have been raised in WP:DRN rather than in WP:AN/I. I don't quite understand this and I'm hoping for some explanation. Aside from the fact that an admin at the Help Desk suggested (see here) that I raise the issue "at somewhere like WP:AN," it seems to me that WP:DRN isn't the right place. I don't have any experience with that page but it says it's for resolving content disputes and is run by non-admin volunteers. I'm not seeking to resolve a content dispute; I'm simply seeking to have an administrative decision (the closing of a discussion) reversed so that the underlying discussion can run its course. I would suspect that the good folks at WP:DRN would just say sorry, we can't help you and point me somewhere else. -- Nstrauss ( talk) 07:13, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sputnik (web browser) discussion you switched your !vote to "keep", but didn't state your rationale. Could you please revise your comment and explain your motivation, as it doesn't seem obvious otherwise. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk) 15:25, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
