Hi Yunshui, I created the page at User:Leafboy222/Adoption page. WHat I would like to do on wikipedia is I would like to fight vandalism on this site. Leafboy222 ( talk) 16:11, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I want to thank you for your quick response to my request for IPBE. You Don't have to respond back to this comment I just wanted to let you know I appreciate your help. TucsonDavidU.S.A. 14:05, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Once again, I have stumbled across what appears to be another advertising account in my quest to bring new users to the Teahouse. User:Cittadini created Cittadini Linens. The similarity between the user name and the name of the company would suggest, to me anyway, that this account is only going to be used for advertising. Incidentally, is there anywhere were I can report these sorts of accounts? Best regards. -- Skamecrazy123 ( talk) 15:03, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello there! I was wondering about Education Program:Marquette University/Neurobiology (Spring 2013), and to what extent the professor is aware of WP:MEDRS (also per WP:AFSE). The professor seems to have picked out many articles that fall within the scope of MEDRS, so I wanted to check with you. Thanks. Biosthmors ( talk) 16:11, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
FYI: I have unblocked User talk:UCRealEstatePR to CHU following what seem to me satisfactory assurances on his talk page. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 22:20, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
If the reason given for deletion was G11:
Your article read like an attempt to promote or advertise the subject. Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. If the text of your submission would not have seemed out of place on the subject's CV, website or press releases, it was probably inappropriately promotional. You may also have included inappropriate external links to the subject's website(s). It's possible that you are the subject of the article, or that you work for or otherwise have a close connection to it. Before resubmitting the article, you should read the following: Words to watch, Don't write an autobiography, Advertising, Conflict of interest guidelines and Wikipedia is not a soapbox. You deleted my page NATASHA DUARTE reason above. How does Delta Goodrem, Selena Gomez, Justin Biener create their pages - is that not a biography too. My daughter is a POP sansation in Australia and I just wanted to create a page like Delta Goodrem etc. Please help me.
Could you please delete my page in its entirety so that when people search they dont see this page is nominated to be deleted, its embarrassing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Natashaduarte ( talk • contribs) 09:20, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Why did you delete my page on Thomas Steinbacher, man... I can't type and do all the research in like 3 minutes. The guy is a businessman (the CEO of a multi-million dollar company), entrepreneur and the owner of a pro cycling team (Team Graner-Stradalli). I was just about to add some stuff about his charity work and wham! the page was gone. Do I need to write the whole thing offline and then upload only when it is complete. Come on... I thought Wikipedia was all about gradual improvements, but I can't even get the page started. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garysims ( talk • contribs) 13:23, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui! We are having some birthday celebrations as Teahouse turns 1 year-old next week. As one of the most active and passionate hosts we have, I was wondering if you might reflect a bit on your experience at the Teahouse and how you view its role in the community. I'd love to have your responses to any of these questions, possibly for a Wikimedia Foundation blog post which will run on the big day.
Thanks so much for your awesome contributions to the project. Really a pleasure to see. Cheers, Ocaasi t | c 20:28, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I recently sent in a request to have a page belonging to an artist I represent named Alex Goot reinstated, you were the most recent editor to flag and remove the article so I wanted to forward my request along to you in hopes of maybe expediting the process. I appreciate your time, and look forward to resolving this issue. Please see below for original message
"Hello, I represent an artist named Alex Goot, owner and primary contributor to the very popular Youtube.com/Gootmusic channel. In addition to accumulating almost 1 million subscribers on YouTube, holding several top 100 spots on Worldwide channel ranking lists, Alex has helped to launch the careers of several other artists and groups whose wikipedia pages have been deemed relevant. Alex has also won an MTV award for his videos (see http://www.mtv.com/photos/o-music-awards/1662701/6080293/photo.jhtml#6080293 ) and was recently nominated for a Streamy award for best Original song ( http://www.streamys.org/nominees-winners/3rd-annual-nominees/ ). Alex is constantly on the road, and sells out venues across the world. We'd like to request that Alexs Wikipedia page be restored, being included in Wikipedia is a point of pride for artists like alex, and we feel that we owe it to ourselves and to Alexs fans to get his page reinstated.

Hi Yunshui! I've added content on Yoga Talk page, regarding the matter. Kindly address! -- therash09 ( talk) 17:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
You deleted a page on Charles T. Kresge, the discoverer of MCM-41 mesoporous silicas for obvious copyright infringement. The page pointed to contains a biography of Kresge that bears only some resemblence to the page I created and was likely sourced from the same chronological data that I used: his CV. I suggest that this was done in error, that I did not in any way copy the page in question. Furthermore, the copyright that appears on the page clearly cannot extend to information Kresge submitted about himself. I will happily get a letter from him granting permission, if necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 02:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
You are missing my point: the material is from Kresge's own bio that he provided me. It is not correctly copyrighted by the sites that you are referencing. Likely the same information he provided to all. I have corrected errors on the bio, but the key accomplishments in chronological order are not as you suggest a disingneous rehashing of the content of other sites. They are a use of the primary work with the authors permission. Even in that case, I have removed and re-edited the information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 14:36, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
I have the original text written my him that he supplied, just as I supply my bio when I give a talk. I assure you he owns the copyright. I believe that I have sufficiently changed and CORRECTED the bio (which erroneously reported the number of issued patents and publications). I will make one more attempt to appease you but see that restating a chronology of awards and service where over 75% of the words are the names of organization, awards or journals is going to look similar no matter how many times it is rewritten. I will also request he send the email. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 03:04, 21 February 2013 (UTC) I don't see instructions on the page you referenced for a release declaration of copyright for printed material. What heading should I choose and how do I reference it to this discussion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 03:09, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I take it from your reply that I have now fixed the page to your satisfaction. It still has the pending notice on it. Is there still another reviewer that needs to OK it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 15:40, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui. This guy that we both blocked yesterday is requesting an unblock. Could you pass by their talk page and explain why you indeffed them? (It seems like it was a good call btw, I was feeling lenient for some reason) SmartSE ( talk) 15:37, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
I just became curious about it from reading the conversations on User_talk:Ajayupai95 and I am curious as to how CheckUser functions. On wiki, we seem to be applying it almost like it is the Supreme Court, implying it is very accurate. But how accurate is it really? And are there any other ways to figure out who is a sock, and who is not?
Secondly, this user is the third user I have found in recent times (after User:Greatuser and Wolfie13 [Am forgetting the exact name]) who was blocked for being a sock; and were just trying to be constructive while using their current account. Which is curious because our immediate response is to indef-block them, and all they want is to try to be constructive. Does it signal some draconianism in our rules to you?
Cheers, TheOriginalSoni ( talk) 16:54, 22 February 2013 (UTC) [Talkback pls]
Hi Yunshui. :) I just wanted to make you aware of this unresolved issue at the help desk initiated by Guy Macon. I thought perhaps you might be interested in giving your input. Have a wonderful weekend. -- 76.189.111.199 ( talk) 23:17, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
Your contributions at the Tea house and at many other places are pretty awesome. I saw your Jigai comment on somebody's talk page, somebody came to my talk page to do some "grave-dancing", I've just seen your comment on Dennis's talk page, and independently I commented on something else at the bottom of Talk:Yūji Oda. I find it difficult to connect the dots. LittleBen ( talk) 13:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui, I respect your decision not to give me rollbacker rights on the grounds im not experienced enough with antivandalism, but if you don't mind if I am deemed not experienced enough how does someone like this (User:Jackson Peebles) qualify? With less than 100 edits to the mainspace I dont see how he managed to gain antivandalism experience superior to my own. Again, I respect your decision and im not trying to sound all upset or anything, just wondering, Thanks! ★ ★ Retro Lord ★★ 10:17, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello Yunshui,
I'm not too sure if I've done the right thing or made matters worse and/or more complicated! I've been trying to help
this new editor and noticed they had an AfC declined. When s/he left a message on
my talk page last night, I felt they were becoming confused with talk pages and trying to rectify problems with the submission (I was certainly confused when I looked at
the page here!) so I took the initiative of jumping in and creating a new sandbox with a cleaner copy of their
proposed article in it.
If you get the chance, would you mind making sure what I've done is okay? Is there a better way I could have done it? as always, I'm pestering one of the busiest people around but that's what happens when you are so patient!

Hi there,
I created a page for payingtoomuch.com but it was promptly deleted. I understand that I need to put in reference material (Which I have). Did try to do this but I struggled to get the links formatted correctly and was looking for someone to help me with this.
I was adding this page because the website is comparable to the other uk price comparison websites listed in this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_comparison_service and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Price_comparison_services.
Can you give me any advice on how to improve this article so that it does not get deleted in the future?
Thank you

Would you be so kind as to restore Sania Nishtar into my userspace (preferably User:Mar4d/Sania Nishtar) so that I may work on it and fix the issues? As far as I remember, the original version of the article was in good shape and had no copyright issues and the other mess that generally came along later. If it is not possible to restore the article to my userspace for some reason, could you at least tell me the categories which the article was categorised into? That would be helpful.

Well, since you asked an admin (and since I'm not at the Teahouse, and can therefore give my own opinion):
My take is that the usual hierarchy of rules (policies trump guidelines, guidelines outrank information pages, infopages are better than Wikipedia essays, WP essays overrule user essays) is a bit of a simplistic way to view the system. In a deletion discussion, for example, it's common for the overarching deletion reason to be an appeal to either
WP:NOTE (guideline) or
WP:NOT (policy), and the discussion comes down to whether or not the article meets one of those two rulings. During that discussion, though, there may be numerous specifics which are better addressed by appeal to essays, since NOTE and NOT are, by their very nature, highly generalised. Thus we have pages like
WP:MANOTE or
WP:GHITS, which, whilst not policies themselves, serve to elucidate and specify certain aspects of the general rules. Depending on the circumstances, these may be more or less relevent to the discussion than the actual policies themselves.
Having said that, I'm totally in agreement with AMS that simply linking to these wikiacronyms is not an appropriate arguments - if you think a subject fails WP:MANOTE, your deletion !vote needs to explain why you think he or she doesn't meet those criteria.

I believe that I have sufficiently changed and CORRECTED the bio (which erroneously reported the number of issued patents and publications). I will make one more attempt to appease you but see that restating a chronology of awards and service where over 75% of the words are the names of organization, awards or journals is going to look similar no matter how many times it is rewritten. I will also request he send the email. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 03:04, 21 February 2013 (UTC) I don't see instructions on the page you referenced for a release declaration of copyright for printed material. What heading should I choose and how do I reference it to this discussion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 03:09, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I take it from your reply that I have now fixed the page to your satisfaction. It still has the pending notice on it. Is there still another reviewer that needs to OK it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemsciguy ( talk • contribs) 15:40, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Yunshui. This guy that we both blocked yesterday is requesting an unblock. Could you pass by their talk page and explain why you indeffed them? (It seems like it was a good call btw, I was feeling lenient for some reason) SmartSE ( talk) 15:37, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
I just became curious about it from reading the conversations on User_talk:Ajayupai95 and I am curious as to how CheckUser functions. On wiki, we seem to be applying it almost like it is the Supreme Court, implying it is very accurate. But how accurate is it really? And are there any other ways to figure out who is a sock, and who is not?
Secondly, this user is the third user I have found in recent times (after User:Greatuser and Wolfie13 [Am forgetting the exact name]) who was blocked for being a sock; and were just trying to be constructive while using their current account. Which is curious because our immediate response is to indef-block them, and all they want is to try to be constructive. Does it signal some draconianism in our rules to you?
Cheers, TheOriginalSoni ( talk) 16:54, 22 February 2013 (UTC) [Talkback pls]
Hi Yunshui. :) I just wanted to make you aware of this unresolved issue at the help desk initiated by Guy Macon. I thought perhaps you might be interested in giving your input. Have a wonderful weekend. -- 76.189.111.199 ( talk) 23:17, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
Your contributions at the Tea house and at many other places are pretty awesome. I saw your Jigai comment on somebody's talk page, somebody came to my talk page to do some "grave-dancing", I've just seen your comment on Dennis's talk page, and independently I commented on something else at the bottom of Talk:Yūji Oda. I find it difficult to connect the dots. LittleBen ( talk) 13:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
A few days ago, you blocked User:71.226.19.183 for 3 months. He or she is now abusing his or her Talk page access. Can you please block that access, too? Thanks! ElKevbo ( talk) 18:10, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi Yunshui, I respect your decision not to give me rollbacker rights on the grounds im not experienced enough with antivandalism, but if you don't mind if I am deemed not experienced enough how does someone like this (User:Jackson Peebles) qualify? With less than 100 edits to the mainspace I dont see how he managed to gain antivandalism experience superior to my own. Again, I respect your decision and im not trying to sound all upset or anything, just wondering, Thanks! ★ ★ Retro Lord ★★ 10:17, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification then, much appreciated. ★ ★ Retro Lord ★★ 10:27, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for blocking the vandal Athomasm. Can you also please delete this? It was also created by him. ~ satellizer ~ ~ talk ~ 10:19, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello Yunshui,
I'm not too sure if I've done the right thing or made matters worse and/or more complicated! I've been trying to help
this new editor and noticed they had an AfC declined. When s/he left a message on
my talk page last night, I felt they were becoming confused with talk pages and trying to rectify problems with the submission (I was certainly confused when I looked at
the page here!) so I took the initiative of jumping in and creating a new sandbox with a cleaner copy of their
proposed article in it.
If you get the chance, would you mind making sure what I've done is okay? Is there a better way I could have done it? as always, I'm pestering one of the busiest people around but that's what happens when you are so patient!

Hi there,
I created a page for payingtoomuch.com but it was promptly deleted. I understand that I need to put in reference material (Which I have). Did try to do this but I struggled to get the links formatted correctly and was looking for someone to help me with this.
I was adding this page because the website is comparable to the other uk price comparison websites listed in this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_comparison_service and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Price_comparison_services.
Can you give me any advice on how to improve this article so that it does not get deleted in the future?
Thank you

Thank you, FYI moneysaving expert is owned by moneysupermarket so it cant really be called independent. Thanks though, I'll work on it, hopefully I can get the references formatted correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nialdavies ( talk • contribs) 15:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Would you be so kind as to restore Sania Nishtar into my userspace (preferably User:Mar4d/Sania Nishtar) so that I may work on it and fix the issues? As far as I remember, the original version of the article was in good shape and had no copyright issues and the other mess that generally came along later. If it is not possible to restore the article to my userspace for some reason, could you at least tell me the categories which the article was categorised into? That would be helpful. Thanks, Mar4d ( talk) 16:26, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Can you look at this company Felda Global Ventures Holdings and give an opinion on their notability. There is a link on the talkpage to regarding notability but teh link doesn't seem to help it's case much as this seems to be routine coverage. Hell In A Bucket ( talk) 09:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Didn't mean too, but sure is getting interesting. Lol, Yunshui versus Amadscientist, 2013. Doesn't hurt to debate once in a while, yeah? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 11:13, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Well, since you asked an admin (and since I'm not at the Teahouse, and can therefore give my own opinion):
My take is that the usual hierarchy of rules (policies trump guidelines, guidelines outrank information pages, infopages are better than Wikipedia essays, WP essays overrule user essays) is a bit of a simplistic way to view the system. In a deletion discussion, for example, it's common for the overarching deletion reason to be an appeal to either
WP:NOTE (guideline) or
WP:NOT (policy), and the discussion comes down to whether or not the article meets one of those two rulings. During that discussion, though, there may be numerous specifics which are better addressed by appeal to essays, since NOTE and NOT are, by their very nature, highly generalised. Thus we have pages like
WP:MANOTE or
WP:GHITS, which, whilst not policies themselves, serve to elucidate and specify certain aspects of the general rules. Depending on the circumstances, these may be more or less relevent to the discussion than the actual policies themselves.
Having said that, I'm totally in agreement with AMS that simply linking to these wikiacronyms is not an appropriate arguments - if you think a subject fails WP:MANOTE, your deletion !vote needs to explain why you think he or she doesn't meet those criteria.

I saw your comment at User talk:Theaterproject2013 regarding The Taming of the Shrew, may want to have a look at User talk:Tha Taming of the Shrew, I am not quite sure what is going on here, or if you had sorted if there was a class project of sorts going on. -- kelapstick( bainuu) 22:23, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
