It seems inappropriate to block User:A Sister and a Lover so hastily. The user didn't even make any real edits; no actual changes register in the page diffs. The user name seems like it could be controversial, but you shouldn't just block somebody without any warning like that. Give them a warning, suggest a new user name, mention the delicate sensitivities of other users, etc. No need for a block. Everyking 06:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Blnguyen-
My entry was deleted by you and I'm inquiring as to further explination of why. I am genuine and forthright with my entry and not sure why it warrents deletion. The reason states that it is a random group of people, which is true (even though I'm not sure why random). Why does a group of people not warrent an entry? I've updated with more references that I believe make it a more contributing entry to Wiki. Any insights would be helpful. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nordexpress ( talk • contribs)

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Hi. I'm not sure that the page is ready to be unlocked completely - no one seems to be talking on the talk page. However I was wondering if I could propose adding a little content. If you would be willing could you please insert something and then lock it again? It's just a comment by one of the academics that is already listed at the bottom, but I realised his comments were never added to the "debate" section, which is a bit of an oversight. Can you tell me what you think? If I ask for it to be unlocked the whole edit war will start up again, I'm quite sure of that. John Smith's 14:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Blnguyen, Just created the Ball Stopping entry again, hoping to know the reason of the deletion proposal.
Thanks for your quick answer!!! Ariel Schapiro.
Thanks for the callup, I have done a major revert and explained my opinion on the talk page. But I feel this is by no means the end of it as the person who added the section Atrocities against muslims seems to have put a bit of writing effort into it. I expect my revert to be reverted.

I see you decided to delete my contribution ("Heartline") about a UK group with whom I have no connection beyond admiring their work. I'm sorry that you did that - I thought one was able to make any contribution to the collection of knowledge on Wikipedia that might be of value to others.
I wonder if you'd care to let me know why you decided that this course of action was appropriate.

I'm wondering how those lists qualify as empty?
As the criterion put it, "It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1)". Since there isn't even an article called Space Trek, what are these supposed to be referring to?

You deleted this man's biographical article. Notwithstanding that he is a prominent Conservative Party (UK) figure on the Right of the party, a past chairman of the Conservative Monday Club, and that he is one of England's leading Law Lecturers/experts, is it possible for you to say why he has been deleted? For instance, could we know (1) who proposed the deletion and (2) how it can be contested. Thanks. 86.139.185.202 11:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I too am interested as HOTR appears to be 'chasing' as many articles on Tory right-wingers as he can find and deleting them. Swerling was very notable (there are umpteen newspaper references to him), he was a Consultant to a major firm of City of London solicitors, and one of the country's leading Law experts. He was also Chairman of the Conservative Monday Club. So HOTR's reasons are obviously biased. I had not looked at the article for some time and when I came back to view it, it was gone. How can one "recreate" it? Can one see the original article in an archive somewhere? It seems wrong to ask people to research the article all over again. Where, for instance, will we locate photos? Is there somewhere to appeal for restoration? Hope you can advise. 213.122.47.42 15:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to keep pestering you, but since you're an admin and attached to the Wikiproject, I thought you'd be the most logical first port of call here.
The article
Ruffus seems to have gone through a series of different incarnations - occasionally being about the Estonian performers of "Eighties Coming Back" in '03 and occasionally about an Irish three-piece. The Irish version tends not to be Wikified, and when not Wikified it was flagged as a copyvio (it was then written up better, before going back to the original text).
Basically, the issue seems to be that the Irish band is far from notable (particularly as currently written up - the link to the Dutch 'pedia is to the Estonian ESC entrants) and the copyvio issue surrounds their entry as well. My gut feeling is that the Estonians should go under "Ruffus" with the Irishmen (re-written) at "Ruffus (Irish band)" at which point the notability issue can be duked out elsewhere. I'll go and make the relevant changes, but I just thought I should let someone know what I'm planning since the articles seem to have had issues with them.
BigHaz
12:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
PS: Of course, joke's on me since I can't make the Estonians return to their rightful place. I'll do it manually.
Joke's still on me, the wretched talk pages don't seem to have moved properly (I clicked the relevant boxes, so I think I'll just leave it alone now).
I am confused... How was I blocked from editing my profile???

It seems inappropriate to block User:A Sister and a Lover so hastily. The user didn't even make any real edits; no actual changes register in the page diffs. The user name seems like it could be controversial, but you shouldn't just block somebody without any warning like that. Give them a warning, suggest a new user name, mention the delicate sensitivities of other users, etc. No need for a block. Everyking 06:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, recently an AfD was completed for
Quang Tran but it has been recreated with the same information. Not sure what an editor is supposed to do in this case so I thought I would ask you since you made the delete on the AfD. Thanks.

Blnguyen-
My entry was deleted by you and I'm inquiring as to further explination of why. I am genuine and forthright with my entry and not sure why it warrents deletion. The reason states that it is a random group of people, which is true (even though I'm not sure why random). Why does a group of people not warrent an entry? I've updated with more references that I believe make it a more contributing entry to Wiki. Any insights would be helpful. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nordexpress ( talk • contribs)
For both your vote of support in my RfA and your kind words on my talk page just now! I wanted to close the rest of June 17 AfDs but gotta go AFK now. I'll give you and other sysops the honours.
And yes, now I understand your pain at being turned into a delete processor. This is more of a janitor's job than a sysop's job. :) Kimchi.sg 02:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! At first I didn't notice you awarded me the award. It was a nice surprise, and maybe I needed it after days and days spent in checking the style of willingful but not-so-styilish users (it seems that a few people read encyclopedias in this world...). Bye and good work. -- Attilios 11:04, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Hi Blnguyen, just wanted to let you know that I unprotected Chen Yonglin per request at WP:RFPP. I've got a close eye on it though. Cheers mate -- Samir धर्म 06:04, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I'm not sure that the page is ready to be unlocked completely - no one seems to be talking on the talk page. However I was wondering if I could propose adding a little content. If you would be willing could you please insert something and then lock it again? It's just a comment by one of the academics that is already listed at the bottom, but I realised his comments were never added to the "debate" section, which is a bit of an oversight. Can you tell me what you think? If I ask for it to be unlocked the whole edit war will start up again, I'm quite sure of that. John Smith's 14:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
I notice that you reverted vandalism by user:Janx Jrotum of the Windham County, Vermont article. Please be advised, this person is now using the name user:Hirenon Krubi. This individual has revandalized that page as well as a number of other Vermont related articles. I'm going through and reverting them, and have placed a notice on his or her talk page, but given that this individual has already been blocked under the previous name, he or she will probably be back. Thanks, for any asistance you can provide. Cbvt 23:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Just wondering if you could rename Love, Shine a Light to "Love Shine A Light". There's no comma in any of the sources I've consulted, and the capitalisation will standardise it with the other songs in that category. I've tried to rename it myself, but there seems to be something stopping me. BigHaz 09:47, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi!
I wonder why did you delete the "Ball Stopping" entry.
Ariel Schapiro ("Ball Stopping" entry creator)
Hi Blnguyen, Just created the Ball Stopping entry again, hoping to know the reason of the deletion proposal.
Thanks for your quick answer!!! Ariel Schapiro.
Thanks for the callup, I have done a major revert and explained my opinion on the talk page. But I feel this is by no means the end of it as the person who added the section Atrocities against muslims seems to have put a bit of writing effort into it. I expect my revert to be reverted. Nobleeagle (Talk) 01:58, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
FYI: I removed your 48 hour block to impose a longer one. In my opinion, there is no reason for us to tolerate someone who is clearly a returning vandal who is using intentionally profane edit summaries. Wikibofh( talk) 03:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
For the barnstar, I will treasure it. It was so nice after the previous discourse. Thanks again.

Hi
I see you decided to delete my contribution ("Heartline") about a UK group with whom I have no connection beyond admiring their work. I'm sorry that you did that - I thought one was able to make any contribution to the collection of knowledge on Wikipedia that might be of value to others.
I wonder if you'd care to let me know why you decided that this course of action was appropriate.

I'm wondering how those lists qualify as empty?
As the criterion put it, "It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1)". Since there isn't even an article called Space Trek, what are these supposed to be referring to? My guess is WP:NSFT, but even if real there's literally no context there. -- Calton | Talk 01:46, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Following your block, this user created User:Tikimann7979 to vandalize two user pages. May I recommend an indefinite block for the puppetmaster? :) RadioKirk ( u| t| c) 03:12, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
You blocked User:Janx Jrotum for vandalism, now the same person seems to be using a new account: User:Pehehe Nhihhse. This new account has only vandalized three pages so far, but they are all pages Janx Jrotum vandalized and the same kind of vandalism (changing census data, deleting wikilinks to townships). I have given the first three warnings, but they seem to have already stopped for now. I thought you might want to know, and was not sure if you could keep an eye on this user (or should I just report this when I see more vandalism?). Thanks, Ruhrfisch 03:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. That user certainly wasn't the only one vandalizing the page (a few users replaced his pic with deep sea diving pictures - fantastic) but really should have known better. Oh, I'd be upset too. Though I doubt Wikipedia would be the first place I'd go to take out my frustration - unless Wikipedia's serving beer these days. Ytny 07:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Dear admin, can you please keep an eye on this guy who added links to his messageboard in many articles. I left a message in his talk page but he hasn't stopped yet. I am going off for lunch and won't be around for the next couple of hours. Tintin ( talk) 08:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the tag reads that the article contains a current event, not that the article itself is. But you raise a good point, so I deleted it. -- Milton 08:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
This user is complaining about your block and says that she has emailed you regarding it and you refuse to discuss it. Is that true? The Uninvited Co., Inc. 21:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
This user has emailed me with an apology for past behaviour. (Look on her talk page for a copy). The apology seems sincere so I assumed good faith and unblocked. I will block again at the first sign of funny business but I am hoping that I will not need to and Pat will become a productive user. Forgive and forget.

When you cleared WP:AIV did you notice the vandal I left there? It was so odd, I didn't quite know where to put it... Viridae Talk 05:51, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
You deleted this man's biographical article. Notwithstanding that he is a prominent Conservative Party (UK) figure on the Right of the party, a past chairman of the Conservative Monday Club, and that he is one of England's leading Law Lecturers/experts, is it possible for you to say why he has been deleted? For instance, could we know (1) who proposed the deletion and (2) how it can be contested. Thanks. 86.139.185.202 11:21, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
I too am interested as HOTR appears to be 'chasing' as many articles on Tory right-wingers as he can find and deleting them. Swerling was very notable (there are umpteen newspaper references to him), he was a Consultant to a major firm of City of London solicitors, and one of the country's leading Law experts. He was also Chairman of the Conservative Monday Club. So HOTR's reasons are obviously biased. I had not looked at the article for some time and when I came back to view it, it was gone. How can one "recreate" it? Can one see the original article in an archive somewhere? It seems wrong to ask people to research the article all over again. Where, for instance, will we locate photos? Is there somewhere to appeal for restoration? Hope you can advise. 213.122.47.42 15:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your nice words, Blnguyen - I really appreciated them! -- Nataly a 11:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to keep pestering you, but since you're an admin and attached to the Wikiproject, I thought you'd be the most logical first port of call here.
The article
Ruffus seems to have gone through a series of different incarnations - occasionally being about the Estonian performers of "Eighties Coming Back" in '03 and occasionally about an Irish three-piece. The Irish version tends not to be Wikified, and when not Wikified it was flagged as a copyvio (it was then written up better, before going back to the original text).
Basically, the issue seems to be that the Irish band is far from notable (particularly as currently written up - the link to the Dutch 'pedia is to the Estonian ESC entrants) and the copyvio issue surrounds their entry as well. My gut feeling is that the Estonians should go under "Ruffus" with the Irishmen (re-written) at "Ruffus (Irish band)" at which point the notability issue can be duked out elsewhere. I'll go and make the relevant changes, but I just thought I should let someone know what I'm planning since the articles seem to have had issues with them.

12:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
PS: Of course, joke's on me since I can't make the Estonians return to their rightful place. I'll do it manually.
Joke's still on me, the wretched talk pages don't seem to have moved properly (I clicked the relevant boxes, so I think I'll just leave it alone now).
I am confused... How was I blocked from editing my profile???
