The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far
Casliber (
submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was
Coemgenus (
submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC) 2601:44:C500:4040:DCC1:F3A4:5558:B96B ( talk) 16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC) [1]

Hello. last winter you banned User:Skyhook1 indefinitely for persistent introduction of original research at the Skyhook (structure) article, and for employing multiple sock puppets to revert all changes. A few weeks later, in January, he used the SpaceX redirect " Space exploration technologies" [1] to publish his skyhook assay, and amazingly, it stayed there undetected until now. Today I repaired this SpaceX redirect but he keeps turning it into his assay on skyhooks. Thank you, BatteryIncluded ( talk) 20:25, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Are you the administrator? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mondit ( talk • contribs) 19:21, 31 October 2015
Hi! I was looking for this subject person and found that his article was deleted long back in 2012. My biggest rationale for undeletion is that he was recipient of Padma Bhushan and that should automatically qualify him to stay. This was pointed out in the AfD but am not sure how much it was gauged on this factor. Turns out that subject was founder of ENT department at Nair Hospital ref and has various stuff named after him now; Dr. L. H. Hiranandani College of Pharmacy and L H Hiranandani Hospital, although that's not much notable. I would request you to undelete it as you were the closing admin. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 08:58, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.
This year's results were an exact replica of last year's competition. For the second year in a row, the 2015 WikiCup champion is
Godot13 (
submissions) (
FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program.
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science.
Cas Liber (
submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.
Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to
Rationalobserver (
submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.
A full list of our award winners are:
We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate. The WikiCup judges will be back in touch over the coming months, and we hope to see you all in the 2016 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

I'm sorry but you can't close as speedy keep an article that has been through AFD and DRV when the other side of the debate has not had a chance to weigh in. There were strong views on both sides that you would see if you review the previous discussions. Merging and redirects are common AFD outcomes and routinely included in nominations. Please reopen the discussion to allow all sides to discuss this article. Spartaz Humbug! 09:17, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
You recently closed the deletion debate of List of ziyarat locations as keep. I want to start a deletion review of this article, and as per the policy I am opening this section to discuss the page with you. The page in question should have been deleted in my opinion because it is complete OR. The articles about Holiest sites in Shia Islam, Holiest sites in Sunni Islam and Holiest sites in Sufi Islam adequately cover all such locations and making this list as "Ziyarat Locations" is just an OR essay. Please give your opinion about this. Please ping me using the re template when you comment. Ty Regards FreeatlastChitchat ( talk) 07:31, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

BR, could you look at this user's contributions, especially those to Aegis Combat System? It looked like vandalism to me, especially the IMF bankers part, but it may not be, or it may just be a vandal trying to pretend like they're not vandalizing. Their other recent edits seem legit, but it's in subject areas in which I'm not conversant, so it's hard to tell, as competence seems to be an issue here. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 05:33, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
This sat there with two delete !votes for three weeks, and today finally two other people pitched in, and leveled the score, but with no new arguments.

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine ( User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason ( User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew ( User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Wikiclaus greetings | |

For a number of reasons I suggest that the result of the debate be changed to no consensus or re-opened. For starters, only two votes is far from any consensus and was held over a time period where a lot of people take vacations (i.e., many editors may have been away from their computers or doing other things - I know I was). One of those two votes said that WP:NBOX was note met. However, this is disputable as can be seen in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Boxing#Notability guidelines. As it states in the start of WP:DGFA "When in doubt, don't delete." Additionally, as one of the editors pointed out in that discussion, from a [{WP:GNG]] standpoint WP:NBOX may not matter. He was on the winning end of the fight that killed Davey Browne and that fight gained significant coverage in the Australian media (and some worldwide). As an editor in the above discussion stated, that is a factor and was not even considered in the deletion debate. Maybe the result should be delete, but I just don't think everything that should be considered was and it was not considered by enough editors. Therefore, I think it should be a no consensus or be re-opened. RonSigPi ( talk) 22:37, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

The template as it reads now shows that all the hovercrafts listed are still in operation by the the Canadian Coast Guard which is why I made the edit I made. The words Equipment of the Canadian Coast Guard suggest that it is still in service of the Canadian Coast Guard which it isn't.

Hello Bushranger, quite a while ago, you have deleted the article on Thierry Antinori. Would it be possible to make the editing history of that article available to me? If that's not the case, it would interesting for me to learn at least which user had created the article. Thank you -- Framhein ( talk) 21:25, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
Dear The Bushranger Again raised to remove the article /info/en/?search=Ramil_Garifullin. Earlier in 2014, /info/en/?search=Talk:Ramil_Garifullin thanks , the article was taken out of removal. And here it is again. Please pay attention to the discussion /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ramil_Garifullin What, in my opinion, involves removal? Here is the arguments :
1. The initiator of removal Akim Dubrov. Fedor Babkin is the assistant Akim Dubrov. That is, there is a tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is a long – standing opponents and have antagonism. A significant portion of the papers and books of Professor, candidate of psychological Sciences of Ramil Garifullin dedicated to drug prevention. Moreover, Ramil Garifullin in the media acutely raised the issue about the dangers of certain articles in Wikipedia dedicated to drugs and psihodelii ( http://www.securitylab.ru/analytics/472275.php.) On the other hand, Akim Dubrov is the author and translator of books in Russia dedicated to drug substances and an author of articles on psihodelii in Wikipedia. It is likely that the main antagonism between Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is now in the risk of publications on drugs and psihodelii in Wikipedia.
2. Earlier this conflict Akim Dubrov - Ramil Garifullin has been associated with the publication of an article about Garifullina negative article about Snowden. Article about Garifullin on Wikipedia was removed in 2013 on the day of publication in the Russian newspaper article about Snowden.
3. Ramil Garifullina good level of scientific citation http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Ramil Garifullin told me that if would be continued against him as slander in the discussion of Wikipedia, he is libel to sue.
4. Moreover, this identity in the English Wikipedia is seen as a well-known Russian journalist and writer, not as a scientist. Although the number of scientific articles and monographs enough (watch out links http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Therefore it is incorrect to use the same discussion for deletion on the Russian Wikipedia.
5. The Internet is the namesake and namesake, Ramil Garifullina, who is really engaged in pseudoscience and is in jail. It's a different person. Not to be confused! So it looks like slander.
6. Based on this English article was formed a modified Russian text to Russian Wikipedia, which upheld the administrator --be-nt-all Here is his assessment: the Draft looked, the chances of successful recovery are good, although above the neutral still need to be work --the be-nt-all 07:40, November 25, 2015 (UTC). This text was revised and edited based discussions-2013. Here is the translation:
7. But Akim Dubrow was removed for some reason https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Irek_Minnullin Irek Minnullin 22:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC) .
8. be-nt-all gave me an assignment to work on the draft is not directly on RS, but on the appropriate subpage: User:Irek Minnullin/Garifullin Ramil, Rosiewicz --be-nt-all16:43, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
9. Ask the participants to carefully examine all links and articles Garifullina and not to succumb to provocations tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Article revised in the light of ancient comments-2013. The article is about a famous essayist and writer. The merit of Ramil Garifullina as a scientist is sufficient.
10. Please withdraw or remove the article from deletion!
11. And think, what are the motives of the authors of the Russian Wikipedia to put the question of removal of articles from the English Wikipedia. Irek Minnullin ( talk) 00:57, 2 January 2016 (UTC) Irek Minnullin ( talk) 08:04, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

We are about to enter the second week of the 2016 WikiCup. The most recent player to sign up brings the current total to 101 contestants. Signups close on 5 February. If you’re interested, you can join this year's WikiCup here.
We are aware that in some areas the scoring bot’s numbers are a little bit off (i.e., overly generous) and are working to have that corrected as soon as possible.-- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:04, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Sidenote: This is my first article, as I'm new to wiki editing. I thought it would be fantastic to start a new article on wiki as, I'm familiar with military study's. Unfortunately I feel cornered,threatened and disrespected because, I have no badge or any sort of formality. I thought the community was respectful, understanding and helpful, I guess this Is where I was wrong, Bushranger this is partly do to you and the other, someone you may know, for now I'm done editing keep up the good work.

I brought this up at WT:NASCAR, but apparently no one's seen it (or responded, at least), but what do you think should be done about the Mudsummer Classic name? Supposedly, it's the "#Eldora at Eldora Speedway" (or "#Eldora") according to a source I found from NBC Sports, but I'm not sure if it's one of those tentative names until sponsorship arrives or if that's the official name. Normally it's be the former, but the way it's being treated by Eldora's Twitter and the fact that a NASCAR journalist actually wrote an article about it makes me think otherwise. What do you think?

Hi Bushranger. Thanks for closing the SEO-banning thread at ANI and implementing the indef. Question for you - several hours after you did that, the notice of banning was placed on Tonyeny's Talk page here by someone editing under an IP address. If that was you, would you please re-do it under your username? If it was not you, you would please consider whether that notice should be removed and done by an admin? Maybe it is OK, but I just want to be sure everything is kosher with this. Thanks. Jytdog ( talk) 16:07, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

This is referring to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cisco_ASA For the last few years doing a search for an article on cisco asa, one of the most popular computer networking security appliances in the world led to the cisco pix page, which gives a brief mention to the fact that the pix line was replaced by the asa line. The asa was not a direct replacement of the pix. The asa was, iirc, a combination of roughly three products, and, presumably, in the last decade, it's probably changed a bit. On the pix talk page there are discussions going back to 2012 talking about un-deleting the asa page, but obviously that hasn't happened. I actually didn't know about any of this until today. So a few days ago I added a very brief stub about the asa at the end of the pix page basically re-iterating what the pix page already said and giving a date for the introduction of the first asa products. Even if you don't think that un-deleting the asa page is the right thing to do I would like to at least see it's contents to see if there's anything worth adding to the stub I left.

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. Forty-seven competitors move into this round (a bit shy of the expected 64), and we are roughly broken into eight groups of six. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups.
Twenty-two Good Articles were submitted, including three by
Cyclonebiskit (
submissions), and two each by
MPJ-DK (
submissions),
Hurricanehink (
submissions),
12george1 (
submissions), and
Cas Liber (
submissions). Twenty-one Featured Pictures were claimed, including 17 by
Adam Cuerden (
submissions) (the Round 1 high scorer). Thirty-one contestants saw their DYKs appear on the main page, with a commanding lead (28) by
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions). Twenty-nine participants conducted GA reviews with
J Milburn (
submissions) completing nine.

Hey, I was just wondering why the Lee Cockerell page was taken down on January 3rd, 2016? Just curious, that was my first ever wiki article and I'm disappointed it was taken down. If I need to add the appropriate sources and referencing I can go ahead and do that, but it would be nice to have a copy of the article that was taken down so I don't have to start from scratch. Thanks!
P.S. Sorry I haven't really communicated through wikipedia before, but I'll check this page a few times for an answer (at least I think that's how this works) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julliancockerell ( talk • contribs) 15:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.
In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far
Casliber (
submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was
Coemgenus (
submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.
The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.
Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC)16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC) 2601:44:C500:4040:DCC1:F3A4:5558:B96B ( talk) 16:07, 10 September 2015 (UTC) [1]

Hello. last winter you banned User:Skyhook1 indefinitely for persistent introduction of original research at the Skyhook (structure) article, and for employing multiple sock puppets to revert all changes. A few weeks later, in January, he used the SpaceX redirect " Space exploration technologies" [1] to publish his skyhook assay, and amazingly, it stayed there undetected until now. Today I repaired this SpaceX redirect but he keeps turning it into his assay on skyhooks. Thank you, BatteryIncluded ( talk) 20:25, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! I was looking for this subject person and found that his article was deleted long back in 2012. My biggest rationale for undeletion is that he was recipient of Padma Bhushan and that should automatically qualify him to stay. This was pointed out in the AfD but am not sure how much it was gauged on this factor. Turns out that subject was founder of ENT department at Nair Hospital ref and has various stuff named after him now; Dr. L. H. Hiranandani College of Pharmacy and L H Hiranandani Hospital, although that's not much notable. I would request you to undelete it as you were the closing admin. §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { Talk / Edits} 08:58, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
WikiCup 2015 is now in the books! Congrats to our finalists and winners, and to everyone who took part in this year's competition.

FP bonus points). All of his points were earned for an impressive 253 featured pictures and their associated bonus points (5060 and 1695, respectively). His entries constituted scans of currency from all over the world and scans of medallions awarded to participants of the U.S. Space program.
Cwmhiraeth (
submissions) came in second place; she earned by far the most bonus points (4082), for 4 featured articles, 15 good articles, and 147 DYKs, mostly about in her field of expertise, natural science.
Cas Liber (
submissions), a finalist every year since 2010, came in third, with 2379 points.
Our newcomer award, presented to the best-performing new competitor in the WikiCup, goes to
Rationalobserver (
submissions). Everyone should be very proud of the work they accomplished. We will announce our other award winners soon.
A full list of our award winners are:
We warmly invite all of you to sign up for next year's competition. Discussions and polls concerning potential rules changes are also open, and all are welcome to participate.

Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!

I'm sorry but you can't close as speedy keep an article that has been through AFD and DRV when the other side of the debate has not had a chance to weigh in. There were strong views on both sides that you would see if you review the previous discussions. Merging and redirects are common AFD outcomes and routinely included in nominations.

I want to start a deletion review of this article, and as per the policy I am opening this section to discuss the page with you. The page in question should have been deleted in my opinion because it is complete OR. The articles about Holiest sites in Shia Islam, Holiest sites in Sunni Islam and Holiest sites in Sufi Islam adequately cover all such locations and making this list as "Ziyarat Locations" is just an OR essay.

BR, could you look at this user's contributions, especially those to Aegis Combat System? It looked like vandalism to me, especially the IMF bankers part, but it may not be, or it may just be a vandal trying to pretend like they're not vandalizing. Their other recent edits seem legit, but it's in subject areas in which I'm not conversant, so it's hard to tell, as competence seems to be an issue here. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 05:33, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
This sat there with two delete !votes for three weeks, and today finally two other people pitched in, and leveled the score, but with no new arguments. Why in heaven's name would you close that within hours on the very same day as "keep"?! It's no consensus at best at this point.

Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.
After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine ( User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason ( User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew ( User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.
We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.
The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.
If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Wikiclaus greetings | |

For a number of reasons I suggest that the result of the debate be changed to no consensus or re-opened. For starters, only two votes is far from any consensus and was held over a time period where a lot of people take vacations (i.e., many editors may have been away from their computers or doing other things - I know I was). One of those two votes said that WP:NBOX was note met. However, this is disputable as can be seen in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Boxing#Notability guidelines. As it states in the start of WP:DGFA "When in doubt, don't delete." Additionally, as one of the editors pointed out in that discussion, from a [{WP:GNG]] standpoint WP:NBOX may not matter. He was on the winning end of the fight that killed Davey Browne and that fight gained significant coverage in the Australian media (and some worldwide). As an editor in the above discussion stated, that is a factor and was not even considered in the deletion debate. Maybe the result should be delete, but I just don't think everything that should be considered was and it was not considered by enough editors. Therefore, I think it should be a no consensus or be re-opened. RonSigPi ( talk) 22:37, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

The template as it reads now shows that all the hovercrafts listed are still in operation by the the Canadian Coast Guard which is why I made the edit I made. The words Equipment of the Canadian Coast Guard suggest that it is still in service of the Canadian Coast Guard which it isn't.

Dear The Bushranger Again raised to remove the article /info/en/?search=Ramil_Garifullin. Earlier in 2014, /info/en/?search=Talk:Ramil_Garifullin thanks , the article was taken out of removal. And here it is again. Please pay attention to the discussion /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ramil_Garifullin What, in my opinion, involves removal? Here is the arguments :
1. The initiator of removal Akim Dubrov. Fedor Babkin is the assistant Akim Dubrov. That is, there is a tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is a long – standing opponents and have antagonism. A significant portion of the papers and books of Professor, candidate of psychological Sciences of Ramil Garifullin dedicated to drug prevention. Moreover, Ramil Garifullin in the media acutely raised the issue about the dangers of certain articles in Wikipedia dedicated to drugs and psihodelii ( http://www.securitylab.ru/analytics/472275.php.) On the other hand, Akim Dubrov is the author and translator of books in Russia dedicated to drug substances and an author of articles on psihodelii in Wikipedia. It is likely that the main antagonism between Akim Dubrov and Ramil Garifullin is now in the risk of publications on drugs and psihodelii in Wikipedia.
2. Earlier this conflict Akim Dubrov - Ramil Garifullin has been associated with the publication of an article about Garifullina negative article about Snowden. Article about Garifullin on Wikipedia was removed in 2013 on the day of publication in the Russian newspaper article about Snowden.
3. Ramil Garifullina good level of scientific citation http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Ramil Garifullin told me that if would be continued against him as slander in the discussion of Wikipedia, he is libel to sue.
4. Moreover, this identity in the English Wikipedia is seen as a well-known Russian journalist and writer, not as a scientist. Although the number of scientific articles and monographs enough (watch out links http://elibrary.ru/author_refs.asp?authorid=295329&SesCookieID=372174247&UserID=175914337. Therefore it is incorrect to use the same discussion for deletion on the Russian Wikipedia.
5. The Internet is the namesake and namesake, Ramil Garifullina, who is really engaged in pseudoscience and is in jail. It's a different person. Not to be confused! So it looks like slander.
6. Based on this English article was formed a modified Russian text to Russian Wikipedia, which upheld the administrator --be-nt-all Here is his assessment: the Draft looked, the chances of successful recovery are good, although above the neutral still need to be work --the be-nt-all 07:40, November 25, 2015 (UTC). This text was revised and edited based discussions-2013. Here is the translation:
7. But Akim Dubrow was removed for some reason https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Irek_Minnullin Irek Minnullin 22:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC) .
8. be-nt-all gave me an assignment to work on the draft is not directly on RS, but on the appropriate subpage: User:Irek Minnullin/Garifullin Ramil, Rosiewicz --be-nt-all16:43, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
9. Ask the participants to carefully examine all links and articles Garifullina and not to succumb to provocations tandem Fedor Babkin-Akim Dubrov. Article revised in the light of ancient comments-2013. The article is about a famous essayist and writer. The merit of Ramil Garifullina as a scientist is sufficient.
10. Please withdraw or remove the article from deletion!
11. And think, what are the motives of the authors of the Russian Wikipedia to put the question of removal of articles from the English Wikipedia. Irek Minnullin ( talk) 00:57, 2 January 2016 (UTC) Irek Minnullin ( talk) 08:04, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

I brought this up at WT:NASCAR, but apparently no one's seen it (or responded, at least), but what do you think should be done about the Mudsummer Classic name? Supposedly, it's the "#Eldora at Eldora Speedway" (or "#Eldora") according to a source I found from NBC Sports, but I'm not sure if it's one of those tentative names until sponsorship arrives or if that's the official name. Normally it's be the former, but the way it's being treated by Eldora's Twitter and the fact that a NASCAR journalist actually wrote an article about it makes me think otherwise. What do you think?

This is referring to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cisco_ASA For the last few years doing a search for an article on cisco asa, one of the most popular computer networking security appliances in the world led to the cisco pix page, which gives a brief mention to the fact that the pix line was replaced by the asa line. The asa was not a direct replacement of the pix. The asa was, iirc, a combination of roughly three products, and, presumably, in the last decade, it's probably changed a bit. On the pix talk page there are discussions going back to 2012 talking about un-deleting the asa page, but obviously that hasn't happened. I actually didn't know about any of this until today. So a few days ago I added a very brief stub about the asa at the end of the pix page basically re-iterating what the pix page already said and giving a date for the introduction of the first asa products. Even if you don't think that un-deleting the asa page is the right thing to do I would like to at least see it's contents to see if there's anything worth adding to the stub I left.

Hi Bushranger - a buddy of mine directed me here when he noticed the Wikipedia page about me was deleted. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Edgey&action=history) - thought I could provide you additional information if needed to undelete the entry (This might be a good start-point: https://www.discogs.com/artist/80179-Edgey). Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjknightjr ( talk • contribs) 02:32, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Is it possible to edit your userbox to create a category for "Wikipedian Whigs" or however it would to fit the format for user-based categories? That way we can find each other! Mononymous ( talk) 20:40, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
