Dear mister, you deleted link to Captureka software under screeshot term. I ask why you do not delete other third party tools mentioned there also? Even it can be treated as advetising it is not because others have chance to be citated.
Be so good and do not discriminate others!

Per the discussion of the image at Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2011_September_19#File:10th_Street_View.jpg the copyright holder Jim Clark of MTFA Architecture sent an e-mail to permissions-en@wikimedia.org on Monday, September 26th. I asked in that discussion how I could prompt for a case number to be provided within the given time frame and received no answer. Please review this image deletion as I believe it was made in error, and as I believe I communicated each step of the process in a timely manner and in good faith. I was copied on the e-mail sent by the copyright holder and can forward it as needed.- Markeer 12:59, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
When you deleted the NJT templates a few minutes ago that I put up, did you forget to make the move? I normally don't post on talk pages quickly, but these templates have 100+ transclusions and they are all broken until they're moved. — Train2104 ( talk • contribs • count) 01:16, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello Fastily,
I've just received an email saying that you have deleted our Wikipedia page concerning our Free software project community. I don't really understand why you did so...
"G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion" "Note: An article about a company or a product which describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion. "
Our project is not even a product or supported by a company, it is just a free software (free and Opensource) for Debian (Like the project Freedombox). We had a neutral point of view and just describing the project. It is in fact the translation of the french article.
So I don't understand this action. Can you explain me the reasons please.
Thank you !
Edit: Oh, it seems that ThatPeskyCommoner asks to delete the project page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dudumomo ( talk • contribs) 08:37, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Fastily, I just came across this 3RR discussion that ended with you blocking Gise-354x ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) for a week. I just wanted to ask you to review your actions as AFAICT there were only two reverts made by the user, meaning that 3RR could not have been broken: here is their first addition (not a revert) and then one revert followed by a second. I'm not overly bothered about it, I just don't like to see newbies being harassed unfairly by experienced editors and then blocked for a week when they didn't really break the rules.

No, I was the one who recommended the deletion of the original article - I want only a pointer to the AfD !vote discussion as to why it should be deleted, because the same reasoning is pertinent in a different discussion. I do not need either the deleted Mozart article itself, nor its talk page.

Regarding your block of User:194.81.222.173, I'm curious why you blocked the IP. The IP was adding promotional information regarding a theater company to a few articles, but hadn't edited since I had given them a final warning earlier this morning. In addition, you blocked them for persistent vandalism, but it's more of an issue of spam/promotion. Is there a related matter I've missed? -- Jezebel'sPonyo bons mots 20:44, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Dear Fastly; you have deleted page "HumanSigma" that was created by me. Please note that it was NOT an advertisement. HumanSigma is a new Management concept that has been developed by a marketing research firm and I do NOT see any issues in mentioning name of the firm in the article. If you have objections then check page “ Six sigma”. It is written in same lines where the opening line itself mentions about the company that started it. Do we then say that page Six Sigma is advertisement for Motorola? Why was HumanSigma tagged as an “advertisement”?
Please reinstate the page as you have erroneously deleted it. AKS ( talk) 10:40, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for reacting so fast and protecting the page for a limited period of time. I hope I can convince everybody to get back to talking in this time. However, I would like to ask your assistance in another matter as well. There is another user that is insulting me.

Hi Fastily,
I noticed you did a quick blok of an unknown IP, concerning the article on Mike Skinner (musician). An unknown editor is hell-bent on adding the word 'tender', concerning Mike Skinner's age. Before Skinner had his own article, an edit war was fought out on the article on The Streets, from February 22 'til March 5. On March 21, Wikipedian Mad Hatter decided to expand the article on Skinner himself. On March 31, you guessed it, the editor found its new article. Since then, there have been innumerous edits and reverts with that IP-hopping troll. I haven't been very active on Wikipedia lately, but this has been bugging me for so long now, is it possible you put a semi-protection on it? Maybe then I'll get some rest and focus on my studies. Thanks!
Kind regards, --Soetermans. T / C 17:45, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Fastily,
I notice that you've denied the speedy deletion tags I placed on a number of these pages. That's fine; I'll traipse through the usual PROD-creator removes without comment-AfD discussion-relisting-final deletion three weeks later routine; but I'm curious as to your reasoning that WP:G3 didn't apply to these. To my mind, they totally fit the bill of "blatant and obvious misinformation":
The User:Moto53/Israel/IRF one, fair enough; I assumed they were a real organisation at first, so it's not an obvious hoax...
Anyhow, I'd be interested to know why you think these don't meet G3; they seemed clear-cut to me. It's hard to convey this in writing without sounding sarcastic, but this isn't intended as a criticism of your decision; just curiosity. Cheers, Yunshui ( talk) 18:29, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I want to share with you a situation that have been happening about three weeks between me and the three users who simply want to destroy the article. Edit wars are started with me and I And I do not deny that I resume and i know that its really wrong.The user Karparhos are change wrong things on the article and do not gives some proof or add a website link that strengthens my claim. Every week he changes his mind and change or delete airlines or destinations, or add them seasonal operating (and those airlines do not operate seasonal flights to Tel Aviv)Like example: Air Canada, Air Malta, Azerbaijan Airlines, Travel Service, Air Sinai and more.When I provide evidence, He ignores, delete, and say I'm wrong though I enclose a proof of that show I'm right. For Example: Delta Air Lines;Delta decided to suspend the route between Atlanta-Tel Aviv for winter 2011-2012 and resumes the route in summer 2012. i add a proof but he ignored. Another example, Air Sinai ends her flights between Cairo to Tel Aviv But resumes her route last year,he ignored from my proof again... Another example, the user RadioFan,Decided in a very creative way that ther there are airports in Nazareth, Tiberias, Jerusalem (Closed), Dead Sea and Acre. As an Israeli citizen, I can say that these places ther are no airports. He decided that the airline Arkia operates flights from Ben Gurion and delete all international destinations. He brought proof of who is described in general the most tourist destinations in Israel And that's very nice to be arguing with me about it. -- Assaf050 ( talk) 20:00, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Ähem, Fastily, history seems be repeating
[8].
After Gilabrand had — somewhat inadvertently — removed
[9] the image from
Sderot on September 14, I had readded it with his consent on September 20
[10]; so it was again in use. Nevertheless it was delinked
[11] by bot on September 27, as you had deleted it that day
[12]. Following our talk
[13], you had it undeleted and I had re-added it to the article
[14] the same day. Though there was some IP-initiated edit-warring
[15] on October 2 and 3, it did not involve the image in question, which was in place from September 27 to October 5, when — despite being in use — it was deleted again and delinked
[16] from the article.
As this is the 2nd time this image was deleted and delinked while being in use exactly in the article for which its fair-use is being claimed, I wonder what systemic error might be the cause for that. May be the reason was that the "not-in-use" tag hadn't been removed from the image file after being again in use? At least I didn't feel authorized to remove that tag as I'm not an admin on :en. --

Hi, you deleted outright the wikipedia page for the BU International Affairs Association under the grounds that it was not notable enough to merit a wikipedia page. There was nothing factually incorrect with the page and it is a well-known organization, both in the United States and internationally. Many people put in a lot of work into building the page over many years, and the creators waited until they thought it was notable enough to create a wikipedia page. I've dealt with moderators and administrators for quite a while and came to solutions in the past. Could you please explain your decision to delete the page? What is notable to you may be very different to me, or other people out there.

Hi, you deleted the page for miraDry, which is a new medical treatment for hyperhidrosis. It's a procedure that uses microwave tech to essentially zap the sweat glands in a targeted area and kill them, thus reducing the amount of sweat coming from the area. The article made no advertising claims of any kind and I tried to be as technical on the mechanics of the procedure as I could cross referencing them to other wiki pages. I provided several references other than the companies website for additional information. I don't want to simply undo your deletion, so I have requested the page be created from the category here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences/Medicine#Medical_devices_.2F_tests but I am hoping you could reconsider and undo the deletion.

Gerard Sarnat is a poet, physician, executive, academic and social activist. Gerry has used the penname Gesundheit Sarnatzky, based on a persona created in his first book of poetry, 2010's HOMELESS CHRONICLES from Abraham to Burning Man. The nom de plume derives from great-great grandparents, shtetl lowlifes, Nahum and Yente Sarnatzky, and Jacob Ben Isaac Gesundheit, the High Rabbi of Warsaw. To update and paraphrase the bio from HOMELESS publisher California Institute of Arts and Letters' website http://www.calartsandletters.org/homeless-chronicles/ with permission, during 2008 Sarnat was published in over sixty journals and anthologies and received recognition domestically and internationally. In 2009 Gerry first edited literary periodicals. In 2010 HOMELESS CHRONICLES was sold in bookstores, on Amazon, etc.; he was invited to perform radio interviews and readings that are available as NPR and iTunes podcasts and do workshops in Israel. In 2010-11, Sarnat’s work was critiqued by senior Los Angeles School poet William Mohr, whom Gerry studies with on a regular basis. Currently Sarnat is drafting the manuscript for his second book, Disputes, which will be published by Pessoa Press in 2012. Gerard graduated from Harvard College in 1967 and received his MD from Stanford Medical School in 1972. He is a board-certified in Internal Medicine, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. He has been a CEO and chief medical officer for national healthcare companies and a Stanford Medical School professor. For forty years, Gerry has worked in and set up clinics for the disenfranchised. He has chaired community organizations and served on international non-profit boards. Sarnat is a father of three, grandfather of two, and has been married since 1969. Visit gerardsarnat.com.

Responding to "meaningless" description of Article receiving PROD, resulting in deletion
Orig. Article: Amsterdam Declaration
Questions: In what manner does the article satisfy the conditions for "meaningless" to be an accurate description? Logically the allegation is tenuous. Proof of a negative is impossible in every field.
Secondly, a point of manners. When a party is new to a craft, and the overall "community" claims to encourage participation by newcomers, the character of the words used was questionable. At minimum, it requires an individual in an editorial capacity to take the writer to task on points, instead of making statements that border on od hominem.
The tone raises a question of ideological grounds might underlie the PROD.
This is one further reason for criticism to be tempered in the context of deletion directives.
A moderation of tone is indeed most incumbent if that editor motions for deletion. Next, I thought this to be an article crafting process where one could make it a work in progress, adding and refining over time.
Yes it (you say it ought not even be considered an 'article') detours into too many subtopics for the length and citations extant.
By no means was it in final form--nor is any Wiki really in such a terminal/fixed status.
Lastly, in what particular points does the article fail? How is its significance unclear?
As a next step, I request you restore the article from deletion. Upon notice, I will set to curing some of the defects you've decried while setting about shoring up citations, adding to significance and factual discussion, including the addition of links.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,

Hello Fastily,
I am writing in regards to your recent deletion of the article on Pario. In the interest of full disclosure, Pario is a product developed by my company and I personally played a large role in the creation of both the product and the Wikipedia article. Having said that, I did try to write the article from a neutral point of view, although I do appreciate that neutrality is difficult to achieve from someone so close to the subject as myself. Taken to the extreme, one could argue that it is impossible for any human to achieve total neutrality on any topic of which he or she possesses enough familiarity to write intelligently...
Regardless, you specifically cited G11 (blatant advertisement) for on-sight deletion, and your user page clearly states that this criterion is measured by an article's own merit and not by its comparison to other articles. While I respect the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia, I do feel that there is a certain amount of bias towards inclusion of articles for established, well-known products in this space. From everything I have deduced from the Wikipedia policies, it would appear that the ultimate cause for deletion of the Pario article was that its contents were not verifiable by enough reliable, third-party sources. If you would indulge me for a moment of comparison, I used Wavemaker as a basis for the article on Pario. Like Wavemaker, the article for Pario was not much more than a brief description and a list of features. It is true that Wavemaker does appear to have a more substantial collection of third-party references than Pario had, but if you start clicking through the links you will find: a couple of the links do not work; a few of them read like press releases (as did ours); none of them are academic; and the two product reviews (arguably the references with the most substance) don't provide much more than a cursory validation that the product exists and does what the Wikipedia article states. This to me seems to violate the notion that an article should represent "fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources" ( Wikipedia:NPOV), and leads me to the seemingly inescapable conclusion that articles for Wavemaker and other similar products are allowed simply because they are more well-known.
Please note also that we hadn't even entertained the thought of writing a Wikipedia article for Pario until it was removed from the List of rapid application development tools article, with the citation that external links did not belong in the list. It just seems kind of unusual that a RAD tool like Pario can exist, but it effectively cannot be mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia --- neither in its own article, nor even in an article that contains a list of known RAD tools. This doesn't really seem to embody the spirit of Wikipedia to me, but then I could be wrong.
I am looking for any guidance you can provide in helping me understand what could have been different about the Pario page to warrant its retention. Could it be as simple as a product review? Your candid feedback is appreciated.

Dear Fastily,
you deleted Captureka article and then you deleted a message about deletion in this forum too. Please recover Captureka article. It has to be listed in Screenshot article in third-party tools as other are. So if others are allowed to be mentioned I suppose such an article can not be treated as G11 (advertising). If you have a problem with possible advertising, please consider that other tools are also listed in wikipedia and those articles are not treated as advertising.

Hi Fastily, I found two articles with red links to Hugo De Man. I knew he is a Belgian person and I created a soft redirect to the nl wiki as a kind of stub. And I was planning a translation in the near future. I don't see directly the match with "R3: Recently created, implausible redirect" rules. Can you explain? Kind Regards, SchreyP ( messages) 00:03, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
I forget whether you were the one who initiated this deletion the first time. If not, Dyson was adjudged to be notable enough and the article was kept. As an incumbent state legislator for nearly 15 years, Dyson certainly passes WP:POLITICIAN. This article also falls within the goals of WP:STLEG to create new stubs on state legislators who haven't previously had articles created. The only issue I see has to do with issues regarding the article's creator, which I see as being a strawman argument, if anything. If there are other issues with the article, please feel free to express those. As you can see for yourself, WP:ALASKA hasn't been very active the past several years, so if improvements need to be made, they just very well may be slow in coming.

Hey Fastily- I noticed you deleted the article on Kathleen Clyde. While not "my" article, I did edit it and will likely start another one at some point since she's notable as a state representative in Ohio.

I've been watching Marcus Qwertus' actions for awhile now and from what I can see they are constructive in helping against this copyright violation guy, but are very nonconstructive in terms of allowing individuals who can vote in Ohio know about their politicians. I've tried to look at Wikipedia periodically in regards to Ohio politics, and it's going in the wrong direction because of this guy Marcus. I felt it was finally time to say something by creating an account.

They keep saying it breaks this stupid Wikipedia:NAMB thing but I don't see that it does cause if you look at the disambiguation page it's clear that they all need one, how else are people gonna know there's other songs with the same name, especially when they don't have pages?

Dear Fastily, you recently deleted my article Ups and Downs (band) for "unambiguous copyright infringement". I am struggling to understand why you did this, as I believe I had correctly edited the article to use nothing other than my own words, and I had left a message on the talk page for the article to say this. In this same edit, I also added additional factual material sourced from multiple external sources which was, I believe, correctly attributed. I have received no explanation as to why my edit was unsatisfactory.
Please, I am a beginning wikipedia editor, and I am trying to learn how to do this correctly. I can see now that my original article had problems, but I have genuinely tried to address them. If there were still problems after my last edit, it would be useful to know what they are so I can attempt once again to set these right. Tttallis ( talk) 21:06, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
My apologies if I'm getting this wrong, but you seem to be replying by pointing me back to the original message about copyright. Is that what the above text means? My last edit re-wrote the article to remove all traces of the cited article. I'm pretty confident there's not a single sentence or sentence fragment in common between the two. I'd really like to get this right, but I genuinely don't understand what I am doing wrong. Is there some other procedure I've missed? Would my last edit have been acceptable if it had been submitted as a recreated article? Perhaps my mistake was in not waiting for the deletion to proceed first. If that is the case, is there someone reading this with the right access to retrieve the text of the last edit and submit it as a new article? I don't believe I have the right access to do that, and I don't have a copy of what I wrote :( Tttallis ( talk) 01:00, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello Fastily, I hope I am communicating with an actual person and not a chat bot. By the trouble it took me to find a way to communicate with you, I hope you will appreciate that I am sincere. If you go to any search engine (pick your fav!), and type in either "Inali-Wakan" or "Scraling", you will see you get little information. A few friends of mine have been suggesting that I create a WIKI page to explain those terms. One is an ancient Scandinavian word that does not exist on the internet (it only exists in History Books), the other is a Lakota word for "Quiet Spirit" - so I thought you guys would be interested in being the First on the block to have definitions/descriptions. I also posted some things about my family name (Klingensmith) to help clear up some controversy in my Inali-Wakan article, but I take it this is a no-no. I saw you had several articles already posted about my family name, but I am new to WIKI, so my bad.
I really am who I say I am and can send you links to my websites (not going to do That again on here), government agencies who can verify who I am, or photos, or my phone number, whatever it takes to share some information.

Hope you don't mind that I made you my go to admin, but I'm having trouble again. Please take a look at the history of August 2010 West Bank shooting attack, I removed a sentence that seemed to be just a racist non-sensical quote from a random person. It was instantly returned, with a statement that my edit was based on me not liking it. I took it out again, and it was replaced, again Plot Spoiler stated I was doing it for seemingly personal reasons. I than realized that the quote mixed with the following sentence which proves the quote wrong actually makes it so that Plot Spolier is calling the man a liar, so I deleted due to wp:blp and wp:or. Plot Spoiler than re-adds again, again making attacks on me, saying I'm doing it for opinionated reasons, and again giving no insight into the value of the quote he keeps adding. He also posted a long threatening message on my my talk. Can you talk with him and give us both some advice on what to do now. Thanks, Public awareness ( talk) 00:54, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you recently deleted a page that I believe to be a mistake with a "Prod expired". I tried to do a restore request, but the request keeps erring out because the page doesn't exist. I may be doing the request incorrectly, as I'm not a wiki expert. Here is the reasoning I tried requesting it:
It was just discovered that Donald Braswell's wiki page has been deleted. I cannot now see what discussions were held regarding it's deletion, if there were any, and the reason the page was removed other than a PROD request. Donald Braswell was a Broadway star in the 1950's and was a performer at the 1968 world's fair at the Hemisphere. His list of credits, including his appearances on the Ed Sullivan show were listed on his page. He is the father of America's Got Talent Donald Brawell II. I would like to respectfully request that the page be restored. Thank you. - Wikiauthenticity ( talk) 18:23, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, your opinion would be appreciated. Here [21] the vignette "No Win Scenario" was added.

The problem is thus: we can't creative commons or pd the stuff, so even though we won't take any action, it's against WP's policies and I do not know what repercussions that might cause.

Hello Fastily. A week ago I left a message on the talkpage of Fbot, but now my message has been automatically archived without any answer from you.

To make sure you get this, here is my message again:

Hi there. Since you're still pretty much the person that does FfD, I wanted to give you a heads up. Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 October 10, today's, and probably those of the next few days are going to have a few very similar sounding items, as I'm cleaning out Wikipedia:Database reports/Largely duplicative file names. Just letting you know that I'm not mindlessly listing the same file multiple times. Cheers. Sven Manguard Wha? 08:33, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
The photo on Wikipedia is of myself, Helen Darras, and was taken with MY CAMERA. I own the camera & the digital memory card. It is copy-written by me, in my name. Why would you so aggressively remove a photo, without asking or notifying/contacting me first? Based on your own assumption & not fact? Please put the photo back up and contact me at: <Redact email address> Helen Darras — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hdarrasrn (talk • contribs) 23:18, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
What is your relationship to Island6111? -FASTILY (TALK) 23:34, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your quick response. I am Island6111. Why do you ask? I use that user name on eBay., Helen Darras — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.9.148 (talk) 01:58, 10 October 2011 (UTC) Also of note, I got these emails a short time ago. They are under alias names, but they are all from Butch Patrick & Ethan Tudor W. They hide behind alias names & both have criminal records. First email to me: 7/29/11 Your Rep. is ruined, your WIKI has been hacked and you look like a dunce! Even your IMDB has been removed. I'm tweeting about you -<Redact email address> (You see Fastly, I'm working on a $30 million dollar movie project with an Oscar winning staff. And they're jealous. And no, my IMDB is very much intact. However, my attorneys got IMDB to slice off 50% of THEIR phony IMDB credits.) Next email: 7/29/11 Don't you think enough is enough, or are you fucking mental? Well....I updated your WIKI and your IMDB. Just wanted to make sure people know what your really about. Listen Sister, as twisted as you are, I'm tweeting, posting, youtubing and more about YOU. - <Redact email address> (Again Fastly, these messages are really from Ethan Tudor W. & Butch Patrick, both found on Twitter as <Redact email address>. It's a case of credibility (mine) against convicted felons & drug addicts (them). Really pathetic, lifetime losers. Sorry I even wrote Butch's biography. Big mistake on my part. However, with the release of our new Major Motion Picture "Exile To Babylon" and Video Game "Dogs of Glory" by Epic Games and Graphic Novel from Dark Horse Comics which will all be released next year, my name will resurface on Wiki soon enough. I work hard. They don't., Helen Darras
Here's a hint for you. I am an Organ Transplant Nurse. I save lives for a living. I have done so for 30 years. I'm aggressive when it comes to facts. That's why I've not had one case of medical malpractice filed against me in 30 years. You supposed "here to help me" message above, doesn't. My photo is up, but not the wiki page.?.?. First you talk to me as if I'm "impatient" after waiting 2 days. I'm glad you aren't burdened with the responsibility of taking care of hospital patients, they might not survive your "time tables." But wiki is not a life or death situation. WIKI made a accusation saying they mystically thought was someone else's photo of me was being posted uncredited & then "nominated" to remove it. Without SEEKING FACTS. No apology was given. And given your trite, patronizing, "hint this & hint that" statement above: consider manners. My posting of my emails was to point out to you that 2 individuals have indicated they intended to hack & remove my wiki info. Then my wiki info was removed. This is not an effort to "air dirty laundry." It is an effort to ENLIGHTEN YOU. Which, given your response of "off-wiki, keep it there," you aren't interested in enlightenment of facts. Again, thanks for all your kindness & understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.9.148 ( talk) 11:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in here, but I had intended to edit this before it was deleted so I do have some knowledge of what's going on. According to the Duplication Detector Report prior to deletion, the longest passage of the article which duplicated the Hard Tackle page was fifteen words in the first section. Second place went to the link in the CSD template, and third (I think) was the phrase "goals for India". If fifteen words in a thousand-word article constitutes unambiguous copyright violation, the policy must have changed somewhat since I last read it. Alzarian16 ( talk) 20:05, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

I apparently have misunderstood something or have used an incorrect designation. I am attempting to restore a photograph to a page which was cited as an F4, lack of licensing information. I have received written authorization from the photographer who took the picture and can produce that authorization allowing me to use the picture without restriction, which to my understanding makes it fair use. If I have misconstrued something, please tell me what I must do to properly submit the photograph. I have attempted to resubmit it with an expanded explanation of the permission for use.

Dear Fastily, you have recently deleted the file File:Dimitriadis 505.jpg. However, in OTRS ticket #2011100110009351 there was sufficient permission for the file to be used on Wikipedia. I believe I put the OTRS Permission template on the image, but since it is deleted, I can not double check this. Can you check for me if you are still sure that the image should be deleted, and let me know if it was deleted by mistake, or if I did not mention the OTRS permission properly enough, or if there was even another reason?

Hi,
It looks like you deleted a category page I had thrown together, 'Category: Southeastern Conference soccer'. The page now says "(G7: One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page)" Yep, that was me. I accidentally blanked the page. I still think we need this category though as soccer is becoming increasingly popular, the SEC Tournament and three teams already have their own wikipedia pages. (Texas A&M also has a page and will be joining the SEC next July) Sorry about the mix up, but if this page was deleted because I accidentally blanked the page, please put the page back up.

Sorry to bug you again, but I ran into a truely terrible editor, User:The Last Angry Man who is disrupting several articles. He came off a permanant block just last month, he has since already been topic banned for being a poor editor at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement, but has now moved to other articles with the same crap such as removing people from a list against consensus at Ex-gay movement, threatening to label Hamas a terrorist organization at August 2010 West Bank shooting attack, and actually editing Al-Qaeda to label them a terrorist group against WP:TERRORIST.

Hi Fastily! I've come here for a little help as you were the admin who deleted two articles as I tagged them {{ db-move}}. The issue is regarding three articles, Saathiya – Pyar ka Naya Ehsaas, Saathiya (TV series) and Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. The first article ( Saathiya – Pyar ka Naya Ehsaas) was a 2004 TV series which was exclusively known by its full name, and should thus be located at " Saathiya – Pyar ka Naya Ehsaas". The third article ( Saath Nibhaana Saathiya) is an extremely popular 2011 series which people call "Saathiya" and thus should be known as " Saathiya (TV series)". I had moved these yesterday, but Survir ( talk · contribs) moved 'em back, saying that the first serial is referred to as Saathiya. If this was the case, a Google seach would atleast mention the 2004 serial somewhere. Yes, it refers to the Star Plus series as "Saath Nibhaana Saathiya" but even the network refers to the serial as "Saathiya" without "Saath Nibhaana" ( logo; translation). I requested help from you because the matter went out of hands. Avenue X at Cicero ( talk) 06:46, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

I am just made aware of a page created recently ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonita_Lontoh) that you deleted on October 13, 2011 at 07:41 am due to G12: Unambigious copyright infringement of http://www.newscertified.com/experts/Sonita-Lontoh).

I am writing this message on your talk page to post the {{ OTRS pending}} notice because there is no discussion page as the article has been deleted. I am new to wikipedia, so please let me know if there is more I need to do to grant the permission correctly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The image that you just deleted was previously moved by User:FleetCommand to another filename, at 10:27 UTC yesterday. Since you deleted the "illumina.jpg" file, (which I'm trying to understand how that was done since it was already moved, unless a "move" in Wikipedia is actually more like a "copy"...) what should be done with the "moved" file?

So I'm back, I need you to look at Talk:Al-Qaeda under "Terrorist?". A few editors are trying to ignore WP:Terrorist and label the organization as a terrorist group. At the top of the talk page it even says "Wikipedia has a policy of not calling people or groups "terrorist". This is not an indication of condoning "terrorist" activities, but of neutrality, and avoidance of passing judgment, affirming or denying." This was not enough for these individuals, so I provided sources which show many notable western people and organizations do not think they are a terrorist group but conclude they are an insurgent group.

The Book 'A Tale of Buddhas and Bandits' IS NOT A HOAX. I think you will find it is a REAL book. It was first published by lulu last month but has since been taken up by Black Sheep Publishing a brand new New York based publisher. It is their first book and will be launched next month. Interviews with major UK newspapers and radio stations have been arranged. GET YOUR BLOODY FACTS RIGHT! YOU THINK JUST COS IT ISNT PLASTERED OVER THE NET THAT ITS A HOAX! Billy Kerr is my cousin, I saw how much he put into that book and you put it down in one swoop. Do the right thing and withdraw that comment.

Hi, Fastily, i just wanted to ask a question regarding an important message: Is this user User:Thebladesofchaos violating the Wikipedia policy [29]?

As is the case here, the editor in question misread the situation and made a series of assumptions with no basis for their claims. Many of my edits revert original research and excessive trivia, as the articles must at least attempt to be encyclopedia standard. If this editor had simply asked me about the edits in question, I would have been happy to explain. Doing things this way, however, simply weakens their credibility still further - particularly since it seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to a reversion of one of their edits.

I understand you just deleted Association for Theological Education in South East Asia for a G12 infringement. I had already disputed the claim of copyright infringement by stating that the article's creation preceded the creation of the website that I allegedly plagiarised from by 3 years. I had also gotten in touch with the webmaster of the website asking for their cooperation in this matter. Shouldn't there be some window given for the resolution of this matter prior to deletion? - Bob K | Talk 11:16, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Last night I placed a G11 tag on this article, which had been written by a user named "Identity Management". You deleted it, but he asked me (a reasonable mistake) to undelete it. Checking, I find that the term Stigma management to be standard and a reasonable topic for an article, so I did undelete and move it to that title. I continue to think it COI based on the user name and OR or copyvio based on the style, but I think I was overhasty calling it a speedy--as I could not identify an organization or product of that precise name. (I've advised the user to pick another name, also.) (Actually, I said I would undelete it before I realized it was you, not me who did the actual deletion, so please forgive the apparent revert.)

Hi. The contributor who tagged this article for speedy deletion dropped by my talk page to talk about copyright concerns with it. On investigation, I have restored it for processing through the copyright problems board. It isn't likely that the article was copied from the defunct site flagged: the earliest date on the website flagged is October 2010; our article predates that by 8 months. Moreover, in the first listing on that page, they acknowledge copying Wikipedia. It seems to have actually been copied from Wikia, which could be repaired with attribution (although it's far too long!), but I'll look into the matter further before restoring the content.

You deleted this page this morning using the reason that it was a hoax. I spent time explaining on the talk page of this article that the fact that it was a hoax was the whole point. I have a group of seventh graders who copy large slabs of information from the internet with no concern for its accuracy and submit this as their own work for assessments. I constructed this article to show them how easy it is to post inaccurate information on the internet. I explained all of this on the talk page and asked that the page be left until after the lesson, which is later today. Unfortunately, you did not read this explanation and have deleted my morning's preparation for that lesson. I also stipulated that I would happily delete the page myself following the lesson. Given my explanation and the imminent deletion of the page by my own hand, I do not see that it would have done anyone a great deal of harm in the 3 or so hours it would have existed.

Hi. I'm new as a Wikipedia editor. I registered a few days ago, soon after discovering that a valuable article that I had consulted previously had been deleted. The article is about a contemporary philosopher, Stephen Palmquist, who, in my opinion, is one of the leading experts on Kant’s philosophy. I located the deleted version, then read the Talk page that ended in the initial deletion decision. I then uploaded my significantly revised version, with numerous changes that I believe satisify all the requirements of Wikipedia's Notability rules, as I understand them. Can you please restore the deleted page, as it is not even close to being identical to the previously uploaded page? If Ozob or others wish to conduct a further discussion for deletion of this new page, that is fine.

Hello Fastily,
I'm just getting around to asking you about the article you deleted that I wrote about the Riordan Clinic. The reason the article was deleted was given as "clearly doesn't meet WP:Notability (organizations and companies) as there aren't sufficient independent sources to prove notability". While I admit that I hadn't gotten around to adding additional sources, I feel that this article was prematurely deleted. This is especially the case considering other hospital articles listed under in article "List of hospitals in Kansas". For example, the Wesley Medical Center has no more content than I had and has zero references. Labette Health has two references from the same site, less content, and has avoided deletion for over a year. I don't see why my article was removed when these two remain.
I'd like to recreate the article with more content that I've been working on outside of Wiki and with more sources (both official and independent). I feel it's important that people can learn about hospitals in our community and even if the information is brief and to the point it should be available. I understand that incorrect information should be removed, but valid information about any hospital is noteworthy if it helps people get the help they need and I put out what I had available at the time.
Here are a couple examples of why I feel it's notable:
Thanks for your consideration.
If I don't hear back from you in a week or so I'll go ahead and assume it's ok to recreate the article. Otherwise, I'd appreciate it if it could be restored. Thanks.

Regarding your edit to Hefnerkerze: the content you removed was not "obscured by the redirect". The "R from" templates are designed for use on redirect pages, and category tags work properly on redirect pages as well. Adding a category to a redirect page causes the redirected term to appear in the category page. This is useful if the term is very different from what it redirects to.-- Srleffler ( talk) 03:50, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you removed some categories from redirects in articles relating to murder cases with the message "Removing content obscured by redirect". I thought it was Wikipedia policy to categorise redirects in some cases (I thought if the page focuses on the victim then the categories for the killer would go on the redirect if they were reasonably notable?).
For example I wrote the Murder of Lakhvinder Cheema article and the killer in that case received just as much attention as the victim if not more so therefore should surely remain in various categories (poisoners etc) for the benefit of people navigating through Wikipedia via categories?

Hi Fastily,
This is a minor niggle, but it's been bugging me... I recently encountered the article Tongue drums and thought to move it to Tongue drum. That page already exists (it was an empty page), so I made it into a redirect instead, but now I'm frustrated - the page title should definitely be "Tongue drum", per WP:TITLEFORMAT. Any chance you could delete Tongue drum under G6, move Tongue drums there instead and create a redirect from the plural to the singular when you have the time?

Although Aaron Livesy and Jackson Walsh was just at the beginning stage (I only created it a few hours ago), the article was well-sourced and as encyclopedic as any of the others in the List of fictional supercouples. I'm asking you to reinstate it and list it for deletion if you still think it shouldn't be here. Exploding Boy ( talk) 19:15, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
If the images are non-free I'll remove them, but they should be removed from the original articles as well. However, I don't see any copyvios. If you do, then you should point them out or remove them yourself.

Hi there. Regarding this revert of yours. I thought I'd fill you in on the full picture. The user that uploaded the image also created the article Jason 'Jonty' Rhodes, which was deleted under WP:CSD#G12. The content of the article had been cut-and-pasted from Jason Rhodes' own Facebook page. If you look at the photos on the Facebook page, and the image uploaded by the user then you'll see that the uploaded file is a cut-and-paste of this Facebook image (all rights of which are reserved by Facebook). Examining the history of the uploaded image also shows that it was tagged for WP:CSD#F4, but that tag was removed by the uploader. It's obviously yet another copyvio by the same user. — Fly by Night ( talk) 20:12, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
I wonder if you could please take a look at this deletion and tell me what I messed up or if it might be an oversight.

Hi Fastily,
When considering an article for speedy deletion under criterion A10, please remember that it is not supposed to be used when the title of the duplicate article would be an apporpriate redirect to the previously existing article. For such cases, please instead redirect the duplicate article to the existing article. For example, Schaumburg Baseball Stadium which you deleted under A10 seems like it should have been redirected instead. Calathan ( talk) 19:43, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Although my request for the temporary semi-protection of the List of time zones by country was declined, the edit warring between the two IP users is still continuing in that article. The issue is about Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova. One IP user is putting it in the list and the other IP user is removing it from the list. However only de-jure (internationally recognized) countries and their dependencies are listed and no breakaway de-facto states are or were listed at all – with the exception of the partially recognized state of Kosovo. Due to this I removed Transnistria since no other unrecognized state are listed and put in parentheses that Kosovo is a "partially recognized state", and urged both IP users to stop the edit warring.
Is there another procedure I should follow? Do you have any other recommendations, if possible? Thank you. Noraton ( talk) 22:33, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

You seem to often decline protection requests for high-risk templates, with the stock message "Pages are not protected pre-emptively". While this may be true for other pages, it is not true of high-risk templates, which (as mentioned at WP:HRT) are in fact protected pre-emptively. If you are declining a request because you believe the template is not high-risk enough to deserve protection, then I feel it would be better if you stated that specifically rather than using the stock message.

Hello Fastily,
I wanted to get in touch with you about your removal of the "Booktrack" page from the Wikipedia site. It appears that you deleted the page due to it violating the copyright of an article posted on Zepy.net. While I appreciate the thoroughness of your citation, it appears that the article from Zepy was in and of itself a blatant plagiary of the press release that the company released and that was cited in the initial article. [You can see the original press release at http://www.booktrack.com/blog.do?pid=1]. Given that this is information that has been sanctioned for release by the company and that it was properly cited in the original article, would it be possible to reconsider the deletion of this article?

Hi,
Hate to bother you, but I saw your comment on that editor's talk page. The editor continues to replace images which comply with fair use rationale with top quality photos which unfortunately are copyrighted (unless they are gimped a bit first to make them fall in line with fair use). The editor uses 70+ year rationale despite the photos being either (a) taken less than 70 years ago (b) not taken in Europe. Speedy deleting photos that were present for 2+ years on Wikipedia and replacing them with copyrighted photos (that were also present on the web 2+ yeas ago, but were not used due to ... copyright issues) is plain vandalism when done on a large scale as the editor has been doing. Now the old photos are deleted and the new ones are private property, so those articles now will have no photos. If you have a moment, please take a look at this situation once more. Thank you in advance. Cheers! Meishern ( talk) 21:25, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I thought I would pass on to you some information on a user you blocked for disruptive editing 190.161.134.66 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and the same individual for sock-puppetry under the IP 200.83.32.16 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).
This person has also been editing under the following IPs:
186.107.167.11 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
200.83.32.2 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
200.104.181.183 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
and using one of which he has managed to stir up more trouble.
These three IPs are currently unblocked and are still available for him to use although there has been no activity on them for the past two weeks. I don't know if you want to just keep an eye on these, pass them on somewhere else, or just go ahead and block them also. Personally I dont think any action would be too harsh in this case. I briefly dealt with this person about a month ago over the abusive language he was using in his edit summaries. The user responded as if he was more interested in picking a fight with me. Reading through his contributions under 190.161.134.66 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) painted a disturbing picture to me. The user took to extremely aggressive and abusive tones over the most minor of edits and corrections, at times spouting off at no one in particular or at whoever may have been responsible for the content he was editing. In one case he entered four consecutive aggressive taunts in edit summaries on one page, without anyone responding in between, arguing with...no one! Like I said, disturbing, and I for one felt uncomfortable editing any page he had anything to do with.
One thing I don't know is under what IP he editing under now, if he is in fact still editing. Perhaps he has moved on to something other than Wikipedia to occupy his frustrated life.-- Racerx11 ( talk) 04:34, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

The reason you state is that it does not "fulfill the notability criteria" of Wikipedia. I disagree, but would be willing of course to make changes to the articles if you point me to specific instances.
Could an administrator please undelete the page or at least send me the text of the article?
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

My page Auto Italia South East was deleted, the reason stated was 'ambiguous advertising' which is ridiculous. The page consisted of a simple description and history of the well renowned artists' run space. Auto Italia has recently become a National Portfolio Organisation meaning that it is of national importance to arts and culture [1] [2]. Auto Italia is a not-for-profit organisation, any accusation of advertising is completely unfounded as Auto Italia offers no services for sale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaosandvoid ( talk • contribs) 17:21, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey Fastily, my brother's doing fine, he pulled out an hour after they finished the surgery. My mom kept saying "Of he'd make a liar out of me." and I told her "Would you rather he pulled out faster then you thought or not at all?" but he's fine. I'm so glad. It was hard to see him in the hospital though all prepped for surgery. When my mom and my sister went out to go talk, I was talking to him and I told him how much I loved him and that I had worried about him all month and he took his good and and literally went and grabbed mine and held it. I almost cried. You see my brother is mentally 2 years old due to what my dad beating him in the head when he's 18 months old and so he's brain dead on the right side. So he's left side is completely paralyzed. But I wouldn't trade him for the world. That moment was the greatest I'd ever had with him. He was trying to comfort me. He even told me he was nervous. I am so happy he pulled out. But I'd thought I'd let you know he pulled out and he's doing good. I just heard from my mom and the group home that takes care told her he's doing good.

Please inform us why you have deleted the page EAST-NMR.
The page was about a European Framework programme financed by the European Research Programme FP7. The aim of the project is to disseminate the NMR technique and to give the opportunity to Eastern countries and/or to universities/research facilities to use existing NMR facilities. We are not making some marketing to sell something! The project is financed by public money and we can not understand why this should not be ok for a wiki entry.
Please let us know as soon as possible! We have to inform the EC about this issue, as our wiki entry was one of our deliverable in the project.

XBLIG reviewed a game called Wizards Keep and stated: "We recently had a chance to contact Substance Games about their contributions to the XBLIG marketplace, and that results in us having the chance to review both Miner Dig Deep and Wizard’s Keep today. By far, Miner Dig Deep is the more addictive and enjoyable of the two titles,..." My article is not Spam, as I sell nothing, and have no financial interest in the game. My article is not Puffery, as the descriptions used were from Game Review Websites, not just of my opinion. Simon Stevens of XBLIG Review (one of my sources) mentions that "Miner Dig Deep has sat close to the top of the XBLIG charts for quite a long time now" - which tells me that as one of the best selling indie titles ever, it is "noteworthy" enough to warrant a Wikipedia page.

YoHo Artist Studios is a community of producing artists and crafters that work out of two of the former Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills buildings at 540/578 Nepperhan Avenue in Yonkers, New York. The population renting private studios here has grown to over 60 working artists since the current owners acquired the five-story loft buildings in 2005.
[3] This was the largest carpet manufacturer in the world for much of the 83 years the company was in operation here in Yonkers. Not one employee lost his or her job during the Great Depression; it was agreed that hours would be cut, but jobs were not. The company was constantly improving their looms and increasing output.
[6] The company maintained a good reputation and solid success until the end of World War II, when, after a number of employee strikes the city’s largest employer relocated to Greenville, Mississippi, where workers were not unionized. In the mid-1950’s the Yonkers plant shut down entirely, leaving a massive complex vacant and an estimated 5,000 workers without jobs.
[7]
At closure, almost half the workers had put 25 or more years of their life into this company.
[8]The stronghold along Nepperhan and Saw Mill River, and within the Yonkers community, was suddenly gone.
[9] Beginning of YoHo Artist Studios: In 1983, the loft buildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
[12] Several years later, Yonkers and Eisenkraft began see the trend of artists moving out of Manhattan and into more affordable work space outside of the city. Thus, some of the space on the fourth floor was dedicated to be used as artist studios in the early 1990’s, and was given the name YoHo, or “Yonkers’ SoHo.”
[13] As artists sought larger spaces that they could afford, they were attracted to areas like Yonkers, which are within a 25-minute commuting distance to the traditional arts centers in SoHo and Chelsea. Some artists and crafters began sparsely occupying Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills as well as other aging buildings in Yonkers in the early 1990’s, Cite error: A Among the artists that rent or have rented space at YoHo include producers of murals, collages, sculptures, mixed media, and portraits. While the population is made up of primarily visual artists and specifically painters, there has also been a jewelry maker, a surface decorator, tattoo artist, lighting fixture designer, and custom motorcycle graphic artist.
[15]
YoHo has grown and expanded since the property’s most recent acquisition in 2005. In the beginning of 2011 the owners started planning for the incorporation of 25 new spaces that would occupy a newly-opened fourth floor wing. These new studios sought to improve upon the original 50+ studios that were already occupied at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue – by this time known to be Southern Westchester’s largest artist community.

It was even cited in other Wikipedia articles, such as the Hibernia Atlantic and Global Crossing entries(now broken links), as well as external links such as http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-214-506-7177 for a citizen researching a telemarketing fraud issue.

I see that you speedily deleted this article per G11. Unfortunately, this created quite a few redlinks, including Ansell (disambiguation) where the deleted article was the primary topic.
I seem to remember contributing to the article some years ago, and at that time it was not advertising. It seems that at some point the article was highjacked. Is there any way of retrieving the history so that we can restore an earlier and acceptable version?

Fbot marked File:159th Fighter Wing.png (and a few other files) as eligible for a Commons move despite having {{ Non-free image data}} and {{ Non-free image rationale}}.

Hi. Please do not delete intentional disambiguation redirects. These redirects are created in accordance with our finely balanced policy at WP:INTDABLINK, under which we route disambiguation links through "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects to prevent false positives from appearing on the lists of pages requiring repair, which prevents unnecessary work for disambiguators. Because articles occasionally need to refer readers to the actual disambiguation page instead of a solution on the page, all disambig pages are supposed to have the "Foo (disambiguation)" redirect for this purpose. Also, certain templates such as the template for listing multiple species designations are designed to automatically route through such redirects, and deleting those redirects prevents those templates from functioning properly. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:40, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

I understand the confusion since I have a clear copyright listed on the commercial website, but a select number of images we release under the CC (and a few in the PD). I have other blogs that I run that I do the same thing with: claim full copyright there, but release select images that are helpful in the PD or under CC.

It seems that the days following Thanksgiving you specifically targetted a number of articles, images, etc. about people from Philadelphia. I find it odd that anyone would suddenly delete any article that has been properly sourced, again for at least 4 years, and then have the audacity to claim that it is being deleted on the basis of something that had never been reported on that article. You said all of these articles you deleted had "expired prods" when they most certainly did not. All you are doing is helping to delete history. Whether or not you have heard of a person living or dead, doesn't mean that they are not relavent or as wikipedia loves to put it "notable". Are you having a bad holiday weekend? Maybe you shouldn't take it out on good sourced articles that have been apart of wikipedia since it began. Notable means that something has been noted...particularly in newspapers or magazines. And all of the articles you deleted were sourced by national, international newspapers and magazines. We will all be taking this complaint further, with our lawyers. Hopefully one day wikipedia will be like it used to be. People like you only help to promote big corporate companies and squash small not for profits or independent directors, musicians and athletes that maybe by your standards haven't earned enough money to be notable enough.

I don't understand. More specifically, how is this not notable: http://www.vnews.com/webextras/webextras-sungod.html?? Again I don't mean to sound rude in anyway, it's just that I worked hard and spent many hours trying to re-create this page again from scratch and now you deleted it again without much consideration to the fact that 80% of it's former self has been removed. I want to understand. It goes without saying that I feel very frustrated and upset because I don't know what it is you need to give this the 'okay'. Thanks for your understanding and I'm sorry if I sound upset. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGildedEdge ( talk • contribs) 00:58, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I did not delete anything - I merely flagged the article for deletion as a recreation of deleted material - which it was. The page was deleted by DGG the first time, and Fastily this time. As for the other pages, please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - I don't care about the other pages, as they have nothing to do with this discussion. And a webvideo from a local news site doesn't scream notability to me. I'm sorry, but I just don't see this as a notable individual, especially when the person in question had to create all the articles about himself the first time around, and you appear to have shown up the first time right soon after Recor asked people on his personal page to come sway the deletion discussion, and you recreated the article using elements uploaded by him.

Fastily, you summarily deleted Spain... on the road Again and its talk page giving " G6: Deleted to make room for an uncontroversial page move" as the reason. However you never restored the content of the page under another name. Then you deleted Spain... on the Road Again giving " G8: Redirect to a deleted or non-existent page" as the reason. Hence you effectively deleted the page by fiat with no discussion. Please restore Spain... on the road Again. — MJBurrage( T• C) 18:56, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

A few weeks ago you deleted this article (if I'm reading the talk page notice right), and now it is back. If memory serves me, it is identical to the deleted article, including the strange grammar at the end of the last sentence. The article addresses itself to "you". The sources are 3 websites and one book. The book is a source for the paragraph on sleep hygiene, which is half the article. (The cited book pages are online.) The article, as is, should be deleted again IMO. -- Hordaland ( talk) 18:46, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

The Wikipedia page "User talk:Banannabreadbogan" has been created on 26 November 2011 by Cmprince, with the edit summary: Notification: speedy deletion nomination of Australian Franchise Directories. ( TW)
Why did you delete this page claiming it is advertising yet pages about Nissan, Toyota and thousands of other companies are permitted? This page had sources and was written from a neutral perspective about how online directories assist thousands of people everyday. It used one company - Australian Franchises - as case example but was open for anyone to also edit and add additional case examples.
I don't understand Wikipedia, you guys claim to be about providing free information and I can appreciate not allowing blatant advertising to fill up the site, but when someone writes an article about an industry you have to use case examples - and your own rules state you have to provide references and links. Then you go and delete anything that you don't agree with or understand without providing any solid foundation or opportunity for the author to edit the article prior to deletion.
Please re-instate this article. I spent several hours writing it and your deletion of it only re-enforces the opinions of many of my friends who find wikipedia is misleading and untrustworthy.

Why did you summarily delete the following four image files files none of which had ever even been nominated for deletion, only questioned as "possibly un-free", and when you deleted them none of those discussions had even been closed?
16:53 . . Fastily (talk | contribs) deleted "File:South Philadelphia Sports Complex c1972.jpg" (Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2011 November 10#File:South Philadelphia Sports Complex c1972.jpg)

15:55 . . Fastily (talk | contribs) deleted "File:Flying Yankee at Portland Union Sataion.jpg" (Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2011 October 26#File:Flying Yankee at Portland Union Sataion.jpg)
Three of these files were created by myself and the fourth was derived from a picture post card published in 1971 without copyright (proof provided) and is also thus free. I provided extensive documentation of this in each of these discussions on the day they were opened (see summaries after each above). Please therefore promptly restore them and explain why they were deleted in the first place. Centpacrr ( talk) 22:25, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Regarding my nominations, say what you want about whether you consider them to be your own work, but in both cases, they are derivative works. In the "Calder Cup" photo, taking a photo of a screen displaying someone else's work is a derivative work of the first, plain and simple. Regarding some of the other photos you mentioned, most of them are de minimis on the screen's presence, but some may require additional attention. Regarding the "Flying Yankee" image, it was obviously the case that your "original digital illustration" was in fact derived from the now-deleted File:MEC Flying Yankee.jpg image. You can photoshop the heck out of it (which you did), and claim that it is your original work (which you also did), but it doesn't make it any less of a copyright violation, and considering how hard you have fought over a false claim of ownership on both images, you have damaged your credibility. Ever heard of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
Additionally, WP:PUF is at its heart a deletion discussion, because unless the concerns are rectified, the process ends in a deletion because when there is sufficient doubt about the copyright status of an image, we can't use it, and there is no reason to retain images that we can't use. The most common results of PUF discussions are "keep", where all concerns have been satisfactorily addressed, "converted to non-free", where we can't say for sure that it's free but all ten criteria of WP:NFCC are met (thus we can use it that way), and "delete", where all concerns have not been satisfactorily addressed and it also fails one or more criteria of WP:NFCC.
And lastly, a little civility goes a long way. You have been amazingly unkind to anyone who dares question the copyright status of your files, and that needs to change. After all, "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar," as they say. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 01:30, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Please educate me re the proper licensing of a picture taken for me of myself, at my request, under my direction, with my own camera, and which has always been in my sole custody and control. Would not the copyright of such an image be mine and mine alone to release and license as a free file? If not, what would make such an image different from thousands of other similar images on WP such as File:Ben Schumin at Iwo Jima Memorial.jpg? According to its summary, that image was made under exactly those circumstances and is licensed as a "free" image file on Commons. You have now twice deleted my userpage image of myself also made exactly the same way as that one and all the others without telling me why it is unacceptable thus leaving me at a loss to tell how you find it is different from all the others. Please therefore advise me what is the proper license for this image so that I can return it to my userpage. Many thanks. Centpacrr ( talk) 23:31, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

File:Moonmullins111255.jpg should not be reduced. The Sunday comics page has 11 panels and the entire point of the gag rests on a tiny object in panel seven.

Fbot seems to be ignoring {{Bots|deny=Fbot}}. It just tagged File:Versions of the Doctor.jpg where the template has been placed.
- J Greb ( talk) 11:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Even after J Greb removed the non-free reduced template, you went ahead and reduced this image. This is an incorrect application of #3b. It should be noted this is not "one" NFC but eleven different ones, placed in a single user-created montage as one of the few acceptable examples as such (since 11 different actors have played the role, this has been discussed several times). So in judging minimum size, we look not to the overall size of the montage, but to the individual parts, which each are about 166x200 pixels (no more than 40,000 pixels); there is no problem there, as long as we understand that there are 11 non-free images there. Treating the montage as the complete image is inappropriate in this case. #3b is not a hard limit, as several past discussions on NFC have stated (if we treated as a hard-fast limit, people will upload images to that maximum size when they don't need to be.
This is why I'm asking about the Fbot 9 task in light of WT:NFC not being notified. It itself is not a bad task, but as it is presently designed, in-congruent with how we deal with overly large images in the past, relying more on human judgement than any fixed math count. -- MASEM ( t) 18:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Not sure whether anybody has notified you, but discussion has been opened at Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Fbot_9 concerning whether Fbot's current tasking and implementation is really such a good idea. Your thoughts would be useful.

At least three of the eight image files just tagged by User:FBot for size reduction seem to have been tagged slightly inappropriately (though understandably so). (And in all 8 copesi the article copy is much smaller than the file copy). File:2001Satellite.jpg is a high-res reproduction of a very very low-res original. To further reduce would downgrade the image unacceptably. The files File:MoneyPennyMontage.JPG and File:BondChase.JPG are both montages of which the individual elements are already at fairly low resolution, even if as a collectivity they seem to be at higher resolution. With all of these three, I would petition removal of the tag. The other 5 I would be glad to upload smaller resolution copies.-- WickerGuy ( talk) 06:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Well. I may as well join in here as start a new section. I have just had a bot place a request for me to modify 53 files on my user page. I totally support the need to stay with in the law. When these 53 shots were first put up, I erroneously had them tied into a list page (We are talking industrial archeology here), and they and the elaborate text descriptions were deleted- I read the conditions of Fair use and image size very carefully, I have written the the accompanying articles so e- verything complies- it was water tight. Take for example File:Mars_Mill,_Castleton_Rochdale_0016.png (549 × 390 pixels, file size: 163 KB, MIME type: image/png). The guidelines now say that:
As a general rule of thumb, images where one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or where the image size approaches 1.0 megapixels or more, will likely require a closer review to assure that the image needs that level of resolution. This is not a discouragement to use such images, but editors should assure that rationales fully explain the need for such level of detail.
The rationale says the image was taken from a scan- so it is obvious that thre would be a danger of moiré patterns. I am perfectly happy with the image being edited by User:ANOther and being re-saved at a lowerres- but I create text, write articles, comply with WP legislation etc within the limited time I have available. I take it as a compliment that someone has seen fit to c&P all the text of the 53 articles using these images and publish them on paper as a book. I don't however see why I should have by agenda dictated by a bot, that has not correctly interpreted policy. I would be happy if the image had, as in policy, 'received' a closer review- and as a result an administrator had corrected any error- but it hasn,t- I would be exceedingly grateful if an administrator would set up a bot to

- automatically reduce the resolution OR
- enter in discussion on the talk page as to a better way forward OR
- actively attempt to get a OTRS statement from the copyright holder
- tag it has been reviewed

YoHo Artist Studios is a community of producing artists and crafters that work out of two of the former Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills buildings at 540/578 Nepperhan Avenue in Yonkers, New York. The population renting private studios here has grown to over 60 working artists since the current owners acquired the five-story loft buildings in 2005.
[1] This was the largest carpet manufacturer in the world for much of the 83 years the company was in operation here in Yonkers. Not one employee lost his or her job during the Great Depression; it was agreed that hours would be cut, but jobs were not. The company was constantly improving their looms and increasing output.
[4] The company maintained a good reputation and solid success until the end of World War II, when, after a number of employee strikes the city’s largest employer relocated to Greenville, Mississippi, where workers were not unionized. In the mid-1950’s the Yonkers plant shut down entirely, leaving a massive complex vacant and an estimated 5,000 workers without jobs.
[5]
At closure, almost half the workers had put 25 or more years of their life into this company.
[6]The stronghold along Nepperhan and Saw Mill River, and within the Yonkers community, was suddenly gone.
[7] Beginning of YoHo Artist Studios: In 1983, the loft buildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
[10] Several years later, Yonkers and Eisenkraft began see the trend of artists moving out of Manhattan and into more affordable work space outside of the city. Thus, some of the space on the fourth floor was dedicated to be used as artist studios in the early 1990’s, and was given the name YoHo, or “Yonkers’ SoHo.”
[11] As artists sought larger spaces that they could afford, they were attracted to areas like Yonkers, which are within a 25-minute commuting distance to the traditional arts centers in SoHo and Chelsea. Some artists and crafters began sparsely occupying Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills as well as other aging buildings in Yonkers in the early 1990’s,
[12] but recent years have seen the communities concentrating in these areas, especially in the North of Tilghman – or “No Ti” – district.
[13] Among the artists that rent or have rented space at YoHo include producers of murals, collages, sculptures, mixed media, and portraits. While the population is made up of primarily visual artists and specifically painters, there has also been a jewelry maker, a surface decorator, tattoo artist, lighting fixture designer, and custom motorcycle graphic artist.
[15]
YoHo has grown and expanded since the property’s most recent acquisition in 2005. In the beginning of 2011 the owners started planning for the incorporation of 25 new spaces that would occupy a newly-opened fourth floor wing. These new studios sought to improve upon the original 50+ studios that were already occupied at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue – by this time known to be Southern Westchester’s largest artist community.

Hi there, I was looking for a response to my question over at User talk:Fbot. I was wondering how you came to the decision to mark all non-free images greater than 164,025 pixels square as needing to be resized. As far as I can tell, there is no Wikipedia policy on the pixel size other than 1 mega pixel (1,000,000 pixels square), but even that is only a guideline and editors are anyways still supposed to look at each image on a case by case basis. I do see that User:Sven Manguard got a similar number from User:DASHBot, but that Bot only resizes images that have already been marked for resize by a human editor. It sure seems to me that you and Sven just invented a new policy based on an arbitrary mathematical figure, and for the last two days have been using your bot to enforce it across thousands of image pages. I see there's discussion on this above, but just where does this number comes from?-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 21:24, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
This is *extremely* annoying. Automatic intervention shouldn't be applied to cases which are either definitely OK or borderline, it should be restricted to cases which you're fairly certain need fixing. Otherwise the false positives will overwhelm human editors. Again, previous bots' version history is no excuse to be unfairly tagging thousands of images which are perfectly fine according to Wikipedia's guidelines, and the previous bot only intervened *when real people had asked for intervention by placing a tag*. Wikipedia's official rule is "images should be rescaled as small as possible to still be useful as identified by their rationale." The guideline for identifying images which could be downscaled and still be useful is "images where one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or where the image size approaches 1.0 megapixels or more, will likely require a closer review to assure that the image needs that level of resolution." Those *and only those* images should be tagged automatically. I can see a legitimate argument for automatically tagging images with 307,200 pixels or higher- captures of 640x480 computer displays, of NTSC and PAL TV and DVDs, etc should usually not be at full resolution, even though they come in under a megapixel and under 1000 px in each dimension. But 164,025px is ridiculous. I came here because some time ago I came across a 800x600 screenshot which had been reduced to a completely worthless and unidentifiable 304x228 blob. I located the original screenshot, tried resizing to 400x300, found that the image would have still been totally unusable, and instead resized to 533x400 (213,200px) which is well within Wikipedia's guidelines. Now I find your bot has tagged that to be resized again. Please stop the madness. Prodicus ( talk) 19:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I have concerns about this user page, and I would like to know your thoughts. As I mentioned on the user's talk page, all of the editor's contributions are edits to this subpage and images uploaded to be used on it; it appears to be a private research project which has nothing to do with the encyclopedia.

Hello,
I have noticed that my contribution on "Introduction to trade-mark law in Canada" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Introduction_to_trademark_law_in_Canada;_passing_off&action=edit&redlink=1) has been deleted. Although there's already a page dealing with trade-marks in general, my contribution was more specific to Canadian Law and didn't seem redundant to me. Moreover, I've been asked to cover this particular topic on Wikipedia for one of my Law classes, for which I will get a grade, so it's important that my contribution be taken into account.
Could you please reconsider my contribution?

I think St John Plessington Catholic College might need some updates including the school's logo and a few picturesalong with some more relevant information about the college. I'm a student of this school and I had a chat about this with the school's management. They agreed to give me the copyright free images so do you mind in me updating that? I'm also asking a few more opinions in this task, hope you won't mind. I have also read this (Schools, Article_guidelines, What_not_to_include) so I hope I can proceed, or may I?

Hi, Fastily,
With all respect, you guys are really busting my chops about these photo permissions. I followed (to the letter) all of the procedures directed by Moonridden Girl and submitted my permission for this photo (which is fully owned by me) to permissions-en@wikimedia.org two weeks ago. You've got me in some sort of feedback loop or labyrinth because there are too many of you randomly scouring the site. Please release me!

Hello, I recently visited Taringa's Wikipedia page. I see that you have Socialphy under the same page just in English. Although this is somewhat true, it is inaccurate. Socialphy is a completely separate website. It has its own rules and protocol, its own staff, and its own users. Though the concept is the same, it is unique in several ways. We have tried to create its own Wikipedia page for the site but you recently deleted it as G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Our intention is not to advertise and promote the site but rather have a Wikipedia page so that people can get unbiasedly informed about the site, what it does, and how it works. We want to simply distinguish ourselves from Taringa because we are in fact a separate child, with the same parents. You wouldn't deny a sibling his own identity just because he looks like his brother or sister would you? I'm asking you so that if I create an unbiased, purely neutral page for Socialphy that you will back me up so as to avoid having it taken down for G11 again.
I appreciate your time,

Hi -- I recently noticed you protected Continental Airlines here. I understand the "protect wrong version of the page, etc". The edit war was about when the airlines should be listed as "operations ceased" (which was the last fight to land last night), and now that that time has passed -- I think any warring of sorts should definitely die down. There is much maintenance that has to be done to the article now that the airline is legally shut down -- so I ask -- uninvolved in the war -- if you could please shorten the protection, or remove it. There are currently discussion going on at WP:AIRPORTS about the situation, and something is trying to be worked out. Would you be willing to shorten the protection?

Dear Fastily,
You recently deleted this photo: [56]
The photo was deleted pursuant to this (unfortunately long) PUF discussion: [57]
Your deletion notice said that, to perhaps straighten this out, the following information should be provided:
Accordingly, though I did not not upload the photo, I am the subject and the owner of the copyright. I am not the owner by virtue of being the subject, but because I also took the photo. The manner in which I did this, is detailed in the OTRS Permission which I sent on Nov. 17, 2011, and again on Nov. 18, 2011.
In other words, as both subject and photographer, I did release rights via WP:OTRS.
In addition, since I own the photo and its copyright, I placed the photo on my Facebook page [58] , my LinkedIn page [59] , and my FLICKR page [60]. I am a practicing attorney, and would not endanger my law license by violating someone's copyright. It's simply not worth it.

Fastily - the article posted and recommended for speedy deletion was information about how to access services for people with disabilities. Nolelover made the recommendation for G11 reasons. I am having difficulty understanding how it could be considered promotion or advertisement. HELP!! me understand.

Fastily - The two articles are not identical which I am certain you will see upon closer reading. I used the {{Wiki talk: Articles for creation}} draft to practice and ensure I was using the formatting guidelines appropriately and accurately. The article I posted today as a new article is the result of days of work to ensure compliance. During the preview process I made significant additions to the article and do not have those. While I am sure you get many of these requests, your kind return of the deleted version of the page would be appreciated. I will read your reference with great interest. Thanks for considering my request.

In the meantime, I have read your talk page and your editing comments. Were the external links to state websites the reason it was considered advertisement/promotional? I am truly interested in understanding your rationale. As I explained to Nolelover, every state implements federal programming for people with disabilities differently.

At least three of the eight image files just tagged by User:FBot for size reduction seem to have been tagged slightly inappropriately (though understandably so). (And in all 8 copesi the article copy is much smaller than the file copy). File:2001Satellite.jpg is a high-res reproduction of a very very low-res original. To further reduce would downgrade the image unacceptably. The files File:MoneyPennyMontage.JPG and File:BondChase.JPG are both montages of which the individual elements are already at fairly low resolution, even if as a collectivity they seem to be at higher resolution. With all of these three, I would petition removal of the tag. The other 5 I would be glad to upload smaller resolution copies.-- WickerGuy ( talk) 06:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Well. I may as well join in here as start a new section. I have just had a bot place a request for me to modify 53 files on my user page. I totally support the need to stay with in the law. When these 53 shots were first put up, I erroneously had them tied into a list page (We are talking industrial archeology here), and they and the elaborate text descriptions were deleted- I read the conditions of Fair use and image size very carefully, I have written the the accompanying articles so e- verything complies- it was water tight. Take for example File:Mars_Mill,_Castleton_Rochdale_0016.png (549 × 390 pixels, file size: 163 KB, MIME type: image/png). The guidelines now say that:
As a general rule of thumb, images where one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or where the image size approaches 1.0 megapixels or more, will likely require a closer review to assure that the image needs that level of resolution. This is not a discouragement to use such images, but editors should assure that rationales fully explain the need for such level of detail.
The rationale says the image was taken from a scan- so it is obvious that thre would be a danger of moiré patterns. I am perfectly happy with the image being edited by User:ANOther and being re-saved at a lowerres- but I create text, write articles, comply with WP legislation etc within the limited time I have available. I take it as a compliment that someone has seen fit to c&P all the text of the 53 articles using these images and publish them on paper as a book. I don't however see why I should have by agenda dictated by a bot, that has not correctly interpreted policy. I would be happy if the image had, as in policy, 'received' a closer review- and as a result an administrator had corrected any error- but it hasn,t- I would be exceedingly grateful if an administrator would set up a bot to

- automatically reduce the resolution OR

FSII tagged File:PAMS.jpg as not having a rationale. The editing seemed to be at an extremely high rate, perhaps too fast to manually review the image pages to actually see if there is a rationale. But the text "Non-free use rationale" is a giveaway. That particular image complies with NFCC as it has a rationale and links directly to the article where the image is being used.
Separately, I noticed some other images were tagged that have rationales except they did not know to include a link to the article, for example File:Plouhar.jpg has a paragraph-long rationale, and does mention the name of the article in the rationale. On second look that seems to be an NFCC-compliant rationale, since WP:NFUR doesn't require a link to the article, just a mention of its name. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 12:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
I just noticed a comment by Fastily, "I plan on reviewing all my tags in the next few days.". I think that explains why other people might think the error rate is so high, if the intention was just to tag everything and then go back and look later. But at the same time, it must be obvious that other people will interpret the addition of a "no rationale" template as an implicit claim that there is, in fact, no rationale. If you would like to tag things for your own review, why not use a template in your user space, which you can replace with the "no rationale" template after manual review. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 13:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

deletable image}}
I'm not sure if you realized, when you added this template to
File:8 July 2011 Elektron.jpg, it asks random admins to assist with your query about the source of the file. The file came from NASA as is specified in the description, I've added a more specific source on the internet, I don't know if it is the one I got it from in the first place, I just googled the filename and it was the first thing that came up. Is the new source ok ? I'm glad I accidentally found your template before other editors went to the trouble of deleting and un-deleting the image, I'm a bit new, and so that happens sometimes, but they always get put back. But I'd like to suggest that when you tagging files for deletion please notify the uploader with: {{subst:di-no source-notice|}} as it saves time, because the uploader often knows the source of the file they uploaded. Or even just ask in ordinary words, I don't bite.

As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain". This is the 2nd time within a week that I had to point this out to a wiki editor.

Why did you nominate File:Oprahfirst.jpg for deletion? It has a fair use rationale stated clearly in the summary section. The rationale says: This image is considered fair use because as a photo of the very first episode of the Oprah Winfrey show, it is of great historical significance, and there are no free use images that could be used in its place. It also the only available image of how Oprah conducted her show in the early years standing in the audience in the tradition of Donahue. 76.70.108.248 ( talk) 14:56, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

You have again deleted File=Soanya_Ahmad_(from_Channer_Conversations).jpg from the system, even though I added something to improve the Rationale for Fair Use, and also indicated in the discussion that I just talked to the copyright holder today by telephone. He told me that he approved of the use of the photo, so what are you concerned about? I expect his email response shortly. Then I will submit the response to OTRS, and soon get the permission. That means we have to "undelete" the file again.
Why is this being made so complicated? All you had to do was to give me another week to complete the permissions! I feel like this is all a waste of time, when I try my best to keep you informed in the Talk Page, and all my efforts are ignored!

An article I wrote was flagged and deleted within minutes of writing it and I'm struggling to figure out why and how I can improve what is apparently a style that is not working. The page in question, U.S. Digital Gaming, is part of a series of pages I'm putting together about the online digital gambling debate. This topic cannot be covered without including this particular company and its key players -- they are VERY vocal about the issue and have tons of expert opinions placed by reputable publications such as AP and WSJ. I even tried to include these sources.
Please let me know what I can do to change the article so that it is not considered promotional. I went through the spam and promotion articles carefully and cannot see exactly what it is that was done that deserved such quick and thorough action.

Could it be because the rationales were not in the form of templates? Could it be because somebody found the rationales lacking in substance? This sort of thing (claiming there is no rationale when there actually is one) has been going on for a long time and is really debilitating and off-putting.

It isn't included directly in the article about Kathleen Byron but it is linked to by a reference in that article. Can your bot allow for images included by references in articles? This image shows details of a birth record to prove a birth name & place. It isn't appropriate to include it in the article about Kathleen but it is entirely appropriate that it be included as a reference -- SteveCrook ( talk) 13:16, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

I wrote most of this in the reply on the WP:RPP page as well, but still reproducing (with additional comments) here in case you missed it before it gets deleted from there. Anyway, this is regarding the readymade stop-vandalism-warning-thingy you (as an admin) pasted all over my talk page just now. I would request you to research a bit about how my edits count as "vandalism" before taking such actions -- and I hope you are not so busy admin-ing wikipedia that it impacts your neutrality and justification in taking actions. You can call it a content dispute etc, but "vandalism" it surely is not because (1) I *have* been discussing the contentious point (of that article) on the talk page, (2) the consensus on that talk page is *on my side* (I have given links towards the end of my post on the talk page of previous archived discussions where exactly my argument was decided upon by ~10 other editors), and (3) it is User:TopGun and not me who has been reverting (vandalizing?) blatantly and making edits contrary to the consensus on the very same point that has been made thrice on that same article's talk page within the past 12 months already. Just because I prefer not to create a fancy username/login on wikipedia (anonymous and free editing by all is supposedly one of the goals and USPs of wikipedia -- at least that's what I heard Jimmy Wales say in the New Delhi conference last month) and Hassan happens to have one (albeit one that he changes frequently), I'm blindly assumed to be one doing "vandalism"?! 202.3.77.183 ( talk) 22:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Though I don't want to spill this issue over to your talk, but since you advised me to report if the IP violates again - the IP has now start a massive canvassing campaign [73] [74] [75] [76] [77] and has been blocked for hounding me and making personal attacks before on 2 different IPs [78]. Although all the editors he's calling might have once been editing the article, I think just calling the editors of his choice at such level amounts to canvassing. Can you tell me if it is still in the limits and take action if not.

I have dePROD'd WKIP-FM as the station does exist. The FCC website is being cranky as they are moving from an old system to a more updated system, so sometimes you have to actually search for "WKIP-FM" instead of just "WKIP" in the FM database. Damned annoying, but I hope they get that kink worked out. Anywho, this is the license for WKIP-FM. Let me know if you have any others PROD'd and I will give those a second look to see if they are saveable. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:48, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
Looks like we were all trying to post on this at the same time. I left my objection to your PROD request on the WKIP-FM talk page. This station falls perfectly within the boundaries of what we at WikiProject Radio Stations are trying to accomplish. Makes absolutely no sense to delete this article. If this one went, due to the reason you suggest, that would mean we'd have to get rid of about 80% of the radio station articles on Wikipedia. Kinda foolish, don't you think? I won't remove the PROD template just yet, so as to give others the chance to take a look at it.

Hi, why the deletion? I know the show only has one season as of now, but it's just a redirect, and doesn't hurt. I use these redirects all the time, as it's faster to type than "List of Terra Nova episodes" or whatever. And it is a format that is not very standardized; there are lots of different titles for these lists, so having "Show (season #)" as a redirect doesn't hurt at all.

Just for FYI the 2 reasons I generally tag images is so that the project has some visibility of how many fall into the scope of the project and so that if someone submits it for something like for deletion ArticleAlertbot will let us know. I don't necessarily tag every single image but if it states something direct to a project WPUS supports (Such as FBI, Utah, Cincinnati, etc.) then I do. Additionally, there is currently now other way for a project to know if an image is in commons or if it resides locally. -- Kumioko ( talk) 03:24, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Dear Fastily, you have deleted the article about American silent movie "Silent Life". I think it is notable enough to be in wikipedia Reasons: 1) Almost all films with Isabella Rossellini are in wiki, why excemption for this movie? 2) BBC mentioned this movie in its article stating that there are quite few modern silent movies. 3) The film is co-produced by notorius Hollywood Forever Cemetery 4) The movie press release was reprinted by more then 1000 web-sites, including Yahoo and Bloomberg 5) It is one of few modern full length silent movies, and moreover, it is in color 6) Milla Jovovich mom -Galina Jovovich plays there 7) The shooting took place in a range of notorious Hollywood locations 8) The movie is commemorated to 100th aniversary of Hollywood 9) The movie is based on the life of one of the first Hollywood stars.

Hello Fastily,
Thank you for enabling rollback right for me. I have been reverting disruptive editing and have seen some ugly cases of vandalism (just thinking why people want to do that & what they gain from that). I have read about the "three-revert rule" in which the first sentence states "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period". My question is that if I see a page being constantly vandalized by disruptive editing, can I not perform more than 3 reverts on that page? Can it make me a blocked user?

The image illustrates content that is referenced in the article, and shows the breadth of this free and educational world heritage site knowledge base. As a web page, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the web page would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.

You have locked the Dean Koontz page in an erroneous state and cited "Persistent Vandalism".
I have contributed heavily to the Koontz page, including the SF and fantasy.. and the erotica. I have collected Koontz for 40 years, and I was around when he was contributing letters and articles to fanzines in the early 1970s. _Everybody_ knew about the erotica; Koontz cited it in many places, including fanzines, letters, and his own books. I have already sent you the Energumen article, _which_Koontz_has_never_denied_, and quotes from _his_own_books_. How many more articles / letters do I have to provide to confirm it????
What is this nonsense about "not convinced"??? By what evidence have you decided that the article is inaccurate? Where does Koontz say he did not write it?? Msauer says he does, but he provides no reference or actual quote from Koontz. I believe you are libelling the late editor of Energumen in such a judgment and demand you confirm the basis of your decision.
Wikipedis is supposedly a repository of fact, irrespective of whether people like the facts. If you are denying the _fact_ of the erotica, on what grounds is that done?

Hello Fastily,
Today I uploaded this image which is in all likelihood non-free. I've noticed that non-free image criteria are very strict, that most images get deleted, & that you're often the one who does so, so I wanted to ask if there's any extra information I need to provide for this one to justify fair use. The subject was an important politician in Croatia 1995-2006, indeed he's the highest-profile politician from recent Croatian history still without a portrait in the English Wikipedia. The reason being, and this is also why it's quite unlikely a free image is obtainable, since he left politics he's totally cut off his public exposure (this is noted & sourced on the description page). The other nine NFCC criteria also seem legit. Anyways, please let me know, thank you!

Kusunose reversed part of the move but didn't do it properly, he didn't move the disambiguation page, didn't fix the hatnote, etc. I had a good faith belief that the move would not be contested, the book is described as "seminal" (cited to two sources). Shouldn't he have taken it to WP:RM if he contested it rather than move war? Or at least have started a discussion on the talk page and wait for opinions before moving it? I would like to move it back as the situation is now broken, then have him (or somebody) start a requested move and present their arguments for evaluation of involved editors.

However, based on the Google cache of the page, it seems it contained a very important discussion of the legalities surrounding fair use on Wikipedia. G8 does specify that it "excludes any page that is useful to Wikipedia, and in particular deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere", and I think this is the case here. And this is not just Wikipedia. A Google search for John White orly brings that page up as the second hit (this being how I found it). It's also worth noting the comment in the previous deletion logs that it is referenced in article talk pages, and deletion has broken those references.
As to what to do with it, I'm not too sure. It seems a new image has taken the place of the original now, so the disconnect is even worse. Perhaps the deleted file could be protected? It looks like the replacement is a candidate for speedy deletion itself. - Kieran ( talk) 07:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, thank you for reviewing our article. Kindly enlighten me on the reasons for speedy deletion.
SRX is covered in all major media in Singapore on the 9th December and every statement in our current article is backed with inline citations to public sources.
Should there be any areas that we can amend, we would be glad to make the changes. Kindly advise specifically what we can do.

I see in the past you made Wiki pages for all the state parties but when I checked many of them including Indiana's page was deleted (even after I updated the content). Why did you delete them? Now I have no idea if I need to make a new page and how to do that or edit what you deleted or what? Can you remove yourself as the admin or make me the admin. This has become very complicated now.

I noticed you declined List of Hollyoaks characters (2011) for page protection because there was not enough recent activity. It has been subjected to 8 edits from the sockpuppet - SPI said they cannot offer a range block because the 86/ range is too broad. So they said the best thing to do is request PP for articles the sock visits often. I requested PP because the sock had been editing the article again.

Could you restore this image please, the person who nominated it to be deleted stated the reason for deletion was that it was not being used; the provided reason was erroneous because it was in fact it was being used in the Wendy's article. It was most likely an mistaken nomination by the contributor, as it should never have been nominated to be deleted because it had a proper non-free logo FUR and was being properly used inline with the appropriate guidelines.

Your deletion of FileServe under G11 was inappropriate. FileServe is among the top online file hosting service with an alexa rank of ~140. The stub article's contents were 2 sentences: "FileServe is an online file hosting service. Fileserve, together with another file hosting service site Megaupload, have terminated their services for Hong Kong by blocking IP addresses from accessing their websites and files." Such a stub on a popular site hardly constitutes "Unambiguous advertising or promotion." Please restore the article. Smallman12q ( talk) 11:55, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Fastily. You deleted GASCO and Bahrain Petroleum Company pages due to copyright infringement. In case of GASCO, there was a short stub which was problem-free. However, during last week, a newly created SPA added several times copyrighted information from the page you referred. Although I reverted these edits, it may be that he/she re–added this information to the version you deleted. In case of Bahrain Petroleum Company, I can't remember of any current activities. However, I would like to ask if you could restore these two pages as subpages of my user page, so I can remove copyrighted information an bring these articles in line with wiki standards. Thank you.

The pages that have this tempate currently have five separate navigation templates that all contain the same information, duplicated between those five templates. "Many transclusions" is not a failure to meet the speedy deletion criteria, but duplication of function is such a criterion. WP:TFD says of candidates that meet the speedy deletion criteria that they should not be listed at that page. So, since it meets the speedy deletion criteria, and therefore should not be listed at WP:TFD, why are you recommending that instead?
There have been numerous discussions to reduce the number of navigational templates, with no proponents for keeping this template. These discussions have drug on for more than a year, and the template meets the speedy deletion criteria. Why drag this out even longer? -- EncycloPetey ( talk) 17:15, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

1) The deleted article is "International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium". Many WP pages about "certifications" mention it. I've done as much as anyone can to research the company -- the trouble is, there aren't many pages that talk about *who* they are. The one thing I've found what seems to be a beginning, are web pages from a State of Florida website. The site is what a company uses in that state, for business filings.
The reason the article seems important, are several. In the U.S. it seems to be one credential that a candidate is sought my hiring managers, for information security. The Department of Defense and DHS departments require active military and civilian employees to have it, if they are hired for management positions in IT.
How do I go about reading the deleted content, or creating a new one?
2) I've dabbled with WP editing since 2004, using different User names. (Paranoia about how to deal with privacy and general website security). As I was about to create the article just mentioned I found it had been created, then deleted. By following links from it I determined the need to contact you and to find out what "G8" is, so I did. But I decided to ask you about templates too, when I saw you are an admin. When I read about using a template I must get caught in some sort off recursion type of loop, trying to discern *what* a template is from how to use them. (Search results don't seem perspicuous). An example, of where I've had trouble, is marking an article for deletion. If explaining the mechanics interests you, please do.
Since I don't regularly log-in, I'd appreciate being notified using WP email. Actually, I don't know if it works... Guess I'll make a note that I need to return post-haste. Kernel.package ( talk) 01:29, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

In my poorly titled UCXRGV6DB54TF2G8JXEVEUN862122GD7MRK.jpg upload, the image came from the California State Library. When the upload was tagged, I forwarded 2 emails (to QTRS) from the State Librarian saying that the images were public domain (in that they were created before 1923). The only thing the Library wanted was a "courtesy State Library" statement as part of the image usage. Consequently, I'm at a loss on how to get the image onto the Commons with the permission that the Library supplied. (I do understand, now, how to properly title an image upload.) So I've got two questions: 1. Were the forwarded emails considered? (If not, I'll try another upload.) and 2. If they were considered, what more do I need to get the image onto the Commons?

Hi Fastily. Please would you consider unlocking Melanie Phillips? Editors are already engaged in discussion of the article, both at the talkpage and at BLP/Noticeboard, there have been no breaches of WP:3RR and nobody has asked any of the editors involved in recent reversions to disengage; there was no need to as they had already done that on their own.

Before it was deleted though, I looked at the history of the page and saw a diff where it seemed like an editor had replaced much/all of the content with the copied text, erasing the previous, possibly legitimate text. I should have checked the history prior to speedy tagging, my mistake. Slashme, a contributor to the article, alerted me of my mistake.

Are you even looking at what you're deleting? If this is seen as an attack, I'm sorry, but with so many pages being deleted within such a short timeframe, it's hard to believe that there's a human admin, not a regular new page patroller, overseeing the deletion. → Σ τ c. 06:12, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that the image File:De Napoli Aarau vs GCZ.jpg was deleted due to "no evidence of permission". However, I sent two emails to permissions-en@wikimedia.org (before the deadline) quoting the image's author giving permission to use the image. I didn't receive a reply to either email, did I send them to the wrong address or has a mistake been made? I hope you can clear this up for me as this is the first time one of my images has been deleted.

Yes, I do think you made a mistake... but perhaps the image creator's permission to post w/ CC-BY-SA 3.0 wasn't sufficiently clear (I forwarded Oletta's earlier email granting permission to <permissions-en.wikipedia.org> on 12/14/2011).
I've emailed him again a clearer, more specific request for permission, asking him to confirm that he is indeed the creator of the image (including a link to the blog post where his image appears with the caption "Photo by Michael Oletta" and a link to the Wikipedia page where the CC notice & details are spelled out. I've asked him to please reply to both me and to <permissions-en.wikipedia.org>. In the email I included the filename, to assure that when whoever reads his reply at <permissions-en.wikipedia.org> will know for which file it's giving permission.
I'm going to upload the file again under the same filename (assuming Wikipedia allows that) with the same license.
Is there anything else I need to do? As you may have guessed I'm a Wikipedia noob, trying hard to get this article on Peter Sprague finished (currently on my user page PeterSpragueDraft). Can you respond on my own Talk page talk?

I see you deleted TAS3 page. I ask you to reconsider for the following relevance reasons:
1. TAS3 is a 14M euro research project financed by EU FP7 (do you have policy that considers EU finaced projects irrelevant?). Contract number ICT-216287. Essentially TAS3 is part of European Commission's vision for future internet. 2. TAS3 is part of a broader ecosystem of EU financed projects, including Prime, PrimeLife, and Master. The members of these other projects have need to know about TAS3 and may hit wikipedia rather than TAS3 web site. 3. TAS3 has a broad european audience. Often the audience is not technical and will revert to general information gathering mechanisms, such as wikipedia, to bring up their understanding prior to meetings where they are asked to pronounce on the matter.
TAS3 is documented in several scientific publications as referenced on
http://vds1628.sivit.org/tas3/?page_id=59
I can add these references to the article if it is ressurrected.
Cheers, --Sampo sampo@synergetics.be skype chat: sampo.kellomaki
P.S. I find the Wikipedia "process" quite selfsufficient and dominated by insiders. I have never received a communication about the alteration of the status of TAS3 article. Instead, the oblique critique that causes the article to be deleted is presented in a myriad of author pages I have no knowledge about and am unlikely to encounter. Perhaps that is how Wikipedia wants to run things, but that is not likely to increase my support for Wikipedia. Quite to the contrary: I'll rather contribute to the competition (I know this statement is suicidal to ressurrection of TAS3, but I will bring my argument to the EC when I meet them (doubly suicidal argument, no doubt)).
I'd like to request that images of coins and banknotes deleted from the article Malaysian ringgit be restored. I understand that the images were deleted because of lack of fair-use rationales.

I disagree with your interpretation that this page was "substantively identical" to the page that was deleted via AfD.

I was wondering if you'd be able to create a list somewhere that took all the files files with the copy to commons template on them and ranked them by the number of times that the files were used in the article space, thus allowing people to prioritize things for the upcoming drive.

==The YoHo Artist Community, Yonkers, New York== The Yoho Artist community works out of two of the former
Alexander Smith Carpet Mills Historic District buildings, located at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue in
Yonkers, New York. This population of artists and crafters has grown to more than 60 working artists since 2005.
[1] The carpet mill maintained a good reputation and solid success until the end of World War II, when, after a number of employee strikes, the city’s largest employer relocated to
Greenville, Mississippi, where workers were not unionized. In the mid-1950’s the Yonkers plant shut down entirely, leaving a massive complex vacant and an estimated 5,000 workers without jobs.
[3] Many of the carpet mill’s employees had put 40 or more years of their life into this company.
[3] The stronghold along Nepperhan Avenue and the
Saw Mill River, and within the Yonkers community, was suddenly empty.
[3] Beginning of the YoHo Artist Community: In 1983, the loft buildings were listed in the
National Register of Historic Places by the
United States Department of the Interior.
[4] Several years later, Yonkers and Eisenkraft began see the trend of artists moving out of Manhattan and into more affordable work space outside of the city. Therefore, some of the space on the fourth floor was dedicated to be used as artist studios in the early 1990’s, and was given the name YoHo, or “Yonkers’ SoHo.”
[2] As artists sought larger spaces that they could afford, they were attracted to areas like Yonkers, which are within commuting distance to the traditional arts centers in
SoHo and
Chelsea, Manhattan. Some artists and crafters began sparsely occupying Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills, as well as other aging buildings in Yonkers, in the early 1990’s.
[5] The community has earned recognition by New York State Senator
Andrea Stewart-Cousins, who deemed April 18, 2009 “YoHo Artist Studios Day.”
[9]. The Mayor of the City of Yonkers,
Phil Amicone, issued a Proclamation recognizing YoHo’s role in the growing artist community by dedicating a day to the community as well.
[10] The YoHo community has expanded since the property’s most recent acquisition in 2005. In the beginning of 2011 the owners started incorporating 25 new spaces that would occupy a fourth floor wing. These new studios sought to add to the original 50+ studios that were already occupied at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue – by this time known to be Southern Westchester’s largest artist community.

Hi, I had submitted an article on Kenn Kweder. The reason stated that it was deleted because it had promotional information and did not comply with Wiki rules on spam / promotional. I used a prior Kenn Kweder template as a starting point to write a legitimate article on this artist. The mistake I made was saving part of the prior template, which was clearly promotional in nature, before finishing all my changes. Otherwise, if I had just saved the template as a sandbox, and then changed it, it would never have been flagged. I spent about two-three hours last night researching and making changes to this article to make it as legitimate as possible in the time available - and plan on further augmenting the article. Further, no offense, but did you even look at my rebuttal to the original speedy deletion notice and/or the changes I made. Apparently not, or you would have realized that the article had been cleaned up. Please place the article back in circulation as it is a legitimate article, or point to reasons other than the original "Promotional" flag, for submitting Kenn Kweder for speedy deletion. BTW, I have been nominated for wiki reviewer in the past and do not make specious claims whatsoever, as you may judge from my wiki page. If you are worried about Kenn Kweder's notability, please note that AllMusic rated Kweder at least as notable as Bootsie Barnes and Shirley Scott - each of whom have wiki pages, Kweder would have been signed to Arista by Clive Davis and was recruited as much as other well-known "New Wave" bands such as Television - except he poured a pitcher of beer on Davis when he went to see him in concert. Kweder is an important and well known part of the late 70s, early 80s renaissance of Philadelphia area music, which culminated in the national exposure of The Hooters, and which some 30 years later should be documented (on wiki preferably) for all audiophiles and lovers of diverse music.

− Hello Fastily; sorry for the delay, but I'm not online at the moment. The picture I uploaded originally had a copyright justification. The painting is not 'blue', but a patented colour using a unique binding method that in the flesh is utterly unlike any other blue you're likely to see. Klein himself patented this invention. This is his most famous conceptual series, and as such should be included on the page about him. Versions of this picture are in museums all over the world, and whilst many still hate these works, they are quite clearly notable. As for wether or not the image is copyrightable, I'm none too sure, but my original justification should be reinstated if it is deemed copyrightable; the work should definitely not be deleted. Anyhow, just a quick reply. Current market value is around $2.7 ( http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5147475), and examples can be seen at the Tate Modern, London, Pompidou Paris and MOMA New York just for starters.

Hi, Fastily,
I created page called OpenVReg, which is a open source design and pin to pin compatible Power IC design. I think this is significant progress in current IC industry, since most IC company protect each and sue others via patent law. To do so, they need to claim uniq ic design from other, which makes variety of power ICs with similar function on the market. While this OpenVReg is a pin-to-pin compatible power IC design standard, majorly driven by NVIDIA. I am one of the engineers that create this ideas. OpenVReg shares patents across companies, which is so called Open Source design. It is just lunched and have 14 major companies joined. I got some bad ass on the wikepedia saying my page about OpenVReg is advertising, which is not a truth. OpenVReg do not need ads. Companies just adopted if they want to. But I do not know to solve this issue. I want to record my work of OpenVReg on wiki. Do you know how to do to avoid my page being deleted by another hard ass again?

You deleted my page for Philadelphia Premium Outlets after I attempted to defend and improve its existence. I understand that this is not the first deletion, but in no way am I attempting to promote it. For that matter, I see it as a major outlet centre that was taken into account as a competitor when The Shoppes at Sands in Bethlehem was planned and opened. The variety of stores at PPO affected what stores were invited to the Bethlehem centre. Even when the latter is complete, the former will have over four times as many stores.

I forwarded the emails of permission to the contact provided when the notice went up, but had not heard anything from them in the time given. I will re-upload it again and send the same forwarded messages back. I will not get into an upload war with the administrators. I take the deletion of the picture and lack of response as offensive given the time I do spend on Wikipedia as a loyal and accurate content provider.

Hey Fastily, apparently when I had contested an image which apparently was taken from a website (the uploader was an admin), I told him that the image he uploaded was copied and I told him that it was a blatant violation of Wikipedia policy, but his reply was :This is standard practice and completely permissible. Now this may be quite a bit of a shock, but from the way he's commenting, is he really trying to violate the policy guidelines? Please let me know. Abhijay Talk?/ Deeds 18:23, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
Your edits such as this are in error. When a work is a derivative, it means there are at least two authors' rights that must be respected. Fair use (or here, compliance with NFCC) for the depicted 3D work of art does not entitle you to use any photographer's image of that art. A reuser must ALSO comply with that photographer's license; failure to do so is copyright infringement. Similarly, if the derivative author does not freely license their rights, then we have TWO nonfree levels of content to worry about and so must satisfy NFCC for both the depicted work and the derivative image of it. So you need to stop removing the derivative license information in violation of the derivative author's rights. postdlf ( talk) 18:23, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Before shooting my mouth off further, I'd like to know if you think this photo of a statue can be considered "free content". I don't see how, as it was most certainly created after 1923. I should think it would require, at the very least, the same non-free tagging as the example photo in the ANI discussion.

Re: Goretti pic. I gave the appropriate permission, and also sent an email to the Wiki address provided. I further commented on the talk page. I am re-uploading the file, and hoping that this time (1) I make no lapses in the permission process; and (2) it's not re-deleted.

Hi Dear Fastily,
Hope you are in your good health, well i created a page Babar Malik but due to some biased people like Ehsan Sehgal it was deleted by you, Dear you are an administrator and you know better about the content of the article and references i provided on it, well Fastily Babar Malik is well known journalist and i have provided some sound sources like http://www.spourtsencounter.com/list-of-authors and http://www.sportsencounter.com/author/babar-malik where u can see the stories written by him... you can see the http://www.ifex.org/pakistan/2007/08/24/intelligence_officers_kidnap_and/ and http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2007%5C08%5C25%5Cstory_25-8-2007_pg7_25 which make him notable because these stories are about Babar Malik kidnapping by agencies.. you can also read the article http://issuu.com/thefinancialdaily/docs/thefinancialdaily-epaper-23-12-2011?mode=window&pageNumber=10 see the credit line on Sports page and also see the last para of the article where it is included that Babar Malik is well known journalist from Islamabad and working with some News Channels... Fastily did u notice on the page discussion that only the person Ehsan Sehgal was trying to make it controversial even he lives in Holland and he doesnt know about Pakistani journalist community.. did u notice that he also tried to delete some of references from Babar Malik and tried to make it controversial bcoz he knows the rules of page deletion and he add some wrong info at the time when i cant sit on net to change it... please Fastily its my heartly request to u kindly undelete my article Babar Malik, you can see his reports with news channel logos on youtube... just search Babar Malik on google and you will see alot about him while he was working on ARY News and in News One as well... you can also see his official page on facebook http://www.facebook.com/babarmaliks
i think these references are enough for someone to be a notable and these are sound proof about him. kindly return my article back

You recently deleted our new page for Canadian Linen and Uniform because you said it was too promotional. I would argue that everything included on the page was factual and can be substantiated. I would challenge you to find something in the article that could not. As it is, I think it provides a good foundation of information about what our company does and our history. There is very little product or competitive information included. The fact is, we are the largest company of our kind in Canada, and in the top 10 in North America.

Dear whomever deleted deleted my Mark Kelner page.
While it was never my intention to create a promotional/advertising site using Wikipedia as a platform, I can understand your point of view concerning the protection of Wikipedia's rules and protocols. I believe that while the biography I created for "Mark Kelner" is important for people to know about and utilize as a reference resource, I also feel that I might have overdone it in posting too many links to articles and texts, which in hindsight, feels like a sort of a commercial. This was never my hope.
Academically speaking, I'm unsure of why the article was removed. I would like it noted that Mr. Kelner is doing good and interesting work in the field of cultural diplomacy with Russia (at the institutional level!) and his writing is both humorous and insightful about the subject. He is also an instrumental figure in the recent resurgence of post War Russian/Soviet art, not only as a dealer, but also as a researcher.
Perhaps with your guidance, my entry concerning his bio can be amended and back online, as I least feel, that his visibility on Wikipedia is well deserved and the public deserves to know about him. Would you be willing to work with me on this?
Many thanks, in advance, for your time and consideration.

This was brought to your attention before - User talk:Fastily/Archive 5#Fbot issue, maybe minor - and you stated at the time that the bot "will now" recognize the template.
Based on this - [95] [96] - it looks like the issue was not actually addressed.

Hello,
I created the book's Wikipedia page a couple of weeks ago, and then noticed that it had become flagged as not meeting the legitimacy guidelines for books on here. I then DID edit the article, citing numerous book reviews and other external links to meet the requirements. I also uploaded a photo of the book cover (which I petitioned for image approval and it was granted), but I have not yet learned how to insert this file onto the page.
I did not realize that I had to delete the flagging message after I made the proper adjustments to the article. It was deleted while I was away on my Christmas vacation. I'm a college student interning for the publishing company that is marketing the book, and this article took me hours to make (I had no prior Wikipedia experience).
What do I do from here?

Your automated no source tagging has problems. You appear to be tagging any image where the "source" field is empty on the information box. However, in a number of cases source information exists elsewhere one page. For example, the image was uploaded by the apparent photographer as indicated by tags like: "I, the author of this work, hereby release...". Or in other cases, the source information is part of the description. A human being could notice such statement, but it appears that your approach is tagging everything with a blank source line.

So I think it is safe to asume that "Optim" = "User:Optim". -- MGA73 ( talk) 13:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
It looks like you've also tagged the court seals for dozens of U.S. federal courts, which are (at minimum) public domain as works of the federal government. But as these consist of nothing but a circle of text surrounding the seal of the U.S. government, they often vary from one another only in the printed name of the court such that none of them would even be independently copyrightable. Lacking the url of the court's website as the source is thus a mere technicality.
Such easily fixable issues (though time-consuming), combined with the issues noted above by MGA73 where the image is not even copyrightable regardless of its source, or the source information is there but just not in the right template line (often because the image was uploaded years before that template was created and then applied by automated edit), make me think that mass bot tagging is not an appropriate way of handling this. Has there been a discussion on this, whether pro or con?
While it is true of course that all files should have source information, the problem I have is with how this is being addressed. We now have a week to fix hundreds of images lest they be deleted, a week that is further a holiday period in much of the world, and without any discrimination between those images that are completely suspect and those that are readily sourceable or just have technical issues in the template wording, many of which were uploaded many years ago. This tagging was performed with an opaque edit summary ("nsd"), and without posting a notice on any of the article talk pages that use those images or even notifying the uploader. postdlf ( talk) 15:52, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Fastily.
You seem to have deleted an image file uploaded by me (

Hi there,
The reason I tried to create the Zevia page is because this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zevia_Cola currently exists on Wikipedia which contains out-dated information about the company, products and stevia (I work for Zevia). I really do not see how the Zevia Cola page is any different than the page I created. I completey understand that this may seem like advertising, and not really pertain to an encyclopedia so shouldn't the Zevia Cola page be deleted as well. I would rather it be deleted than have false information about the company be out there. Someone else in the company already tried to edit the Zevia Cola page, but the edits were not accepted as well.
Appreciate your feedback.

I didn't understand about possible advertising content of my 3 Minutes World Silence Logo.jpg
The cards and bookmarks I mention are printed and paid for by myself, distributed in letters to people I write to, and handed to local libraries, etc.. who always are pleased to have a few on their counters during December each year, in case anyone wants to take one.
My concept for a 3 Minutes World Silence stemmed from a silent peace vigil I went to in 1983. When I heard the local GPO clock strike eleven o'clock, and all the strangers there with me linked hands, I thought it would be wonderful if the whole world could share a time of togetherness and compassion for a few minutes each year.
You may see the visualisation of the above description on my woven tapestry The Eleventh Hour which I wove from 2000 to 2003. See www.worldsilence.com/tapestries

Hi Fastily,
As a card-carrying deletionist, I have no problem with speedy deletions in general for ad pages, but as I recall, Gift of the Givers was in no way an ad page! It was a page about an organisation that has been featured in BBC documentaries, newspaper articles, etc. Definitely a notable topic, and if there was a bit of fluff about the founder's motivations, that was not cause for a speedy deletion - rather a maintenance template! Can you please put the old text of the page somewhere under my user page hierarchy so that I can review and improve it?

I would like to do the right thing as far as Wikipedia, really. The author does not have the patience to deal with this sort of problem which is why I am attempting to get this corrected file uploaded for him.

Hello Fastily,
I've just received an email saying that you have deleted our Wikipedia page concerning our Free software project community. I don't really understand why you did so...
"G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion" "Note: An article about a company or a product which describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion. "
Our project is not even a product or supported by a company, it is just a free software (free and Opensource) for Debian (Like the project Freedombox). We had a neutral point of view and just describing the project. It is in fact the translation of the french article.
So I don't understand this action. Can you explain me the reasons please.

Hi Fastily,
I noticed you did a quick blok of an unknown IP, concerning the article on Mike Skinner (musician). An unknown editor is hell-bent on adding the word 'tender', concerning Mike Skinner's age. Before Skinner had his own article, an edit war was fought out on the article on The Streets, from February 22 'til March 5. On March 21, Wikipedian Mad Hatter decided to expand the article on Skinner himself. On March 31, you guessed it, the editor found its new article. Since then, there have been innumerous edits and reverts with that IP-hopping troll. I haven't been very active on Wikipedia lately, but this has been bugging me for so long now, is it possible you put a semi-protection on it? Maybe then I'll get some rest and focus on my studies.

Hi Fastily,
I notice that you've denied the speedy deletion tags I placed on a number of these pages. That's fine; I'll traipse through the usual PROD-creator removes without comment-AfD discussion-relisting-final deletion three weeks later routine; but I'm curious as to your reasoning that WP:G3 didn't apply to these. To my mind, they totally fit the bill of "blatant and obvious misinformation":
The User:Moto53/Israel/IRF one, fair enough; I assumed they were a real organisation at first, so it's not an obvious hoax...
Anyhow, I'd be interested to know why you think these don't meet G3; they seemed clear-cut to me. It's hard to convey this in writing without sounding sarcastic, but this isn't intended as a criticism of your decision; just curiosity. Cheers, Yunshui ( talk) 18:29, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I want to share with you a situation that have been happening about three weeks between me and the three users who simply want to destroy the article. Edit wars are started with me and I And I do not deny that I resume and i know that its really wrong.The user Karparhos are change wrong things on the article and do not gives some proof or add a website link that strengthens my claim. Every week he changes his mind and change or delete airlines or destinations, or add them seasonal operating (and those airlines do not operate seasonal flights to Tel Aviv)Like example: Air Canada, Air Malta, Azerbaijan Airlines, Travel Service, Air Sinai and more.When I provide evidence, He ignores, delete, and say I'm wrong though I enclose a proof of that show I'm right. For Example: Delta Air Lines;Delta decided to suspend the route between Atlanta-Tel Aviv for winter 2011-2012 and resumes the route in summer 2012. i add a proof but he ignored. Another example, Air Sinai ends her flights between Cairo to Tel Aviv But resumes her route last year,he ignored from my proof again... Another example, the user RadioFan,Decided in a very creative way that ther there are airports in Nazareth, Tiberias, Jerusalem (Closed), Dead Sea and Acre. As an Israeli citizen, I can say that these places ther are no airports. He decided that the airline Arkia operates flights from Ben Gurion and delete all international destinations. He brought proof of who is described in general the most tourist destinations in Israel And that's very nice to be arguing with me about it. -- Assaf050 ( talk) 20:00, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Ähem, Fastily, history seems be repeating
[8].
After Gilabrand had — somewhat inadvertently — removed
[9] the image from
Sderot on September 14, I had readded it with his consent on September 20
[10]; so it was again in use. Nevertheless it was delinked
[11] by bot on September 27, as you had deleted it that day
[12]. Following our talk
[13], you had it undeleted and I had re-added it to the article
[14] the same day. Though there was some IP-initiated edit-warring
[15] on October 2 and 3, it did not involve the image in question, which was in place from September 27 to October 5, when — despite being in use — it was deleted again and delinked
[16] from the article.
As this is the 2nd time this image was deleted and delinked while being in use exactly in the article for which its fair-use is being claimed, I wonder what systemic error might be the cause for that. May be the reason was that the "not-in-use" tag hadn't been removed from the image file after being again in use? At least I didn't feel authorized to remove that tag as I'm not an admin on :en. --

Hi Fastily
Firstly I have a problem with Assaf050 user at Ben Gurion Airport page. Because he vandalize Ben Gurion Airport page. He also removed every users contributions like RadioFan and Snoozlepet. We don't want to argue with him, but he vandalize Wikipedia. We can't stop him.
Thank you

Hello. I wasn't given a chance to respond to the speedy nominations before both of these articles were deleted (I wasn't even notified in the case of PokerView). Both of these are notable (PokerView.com is the first webcam poker website and has been mentioned in many magazines and books and rankings and Greener Living Soap Nuts were funded by the Dragons as the first in Canada, and one of the most popular in North America). If anything, these should have been tagged for deletion and not speedy deleted so that I could have had time to improve the article or make the necessary edits. Could you please have another look? I put a lot of time and effort into researching and writing both articles. Thank you so much. Alexandra Adotrde ( talk) 20:36, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey Fastily, just to let you know, I've undone your deletion of this image. Someone came in the IRC help channel asking about it, and it looks like the image was in use at the time it was deleted. It seems like the tag was valid at the time it was placed, but the image wasn't put into the article until a couple days later. If there's still any problems, please let me know. Thanks.

Hello, I was looking at the CKD Galbraith article yesterday. Why was this deleted so quickly? Could you please restore the article, so that it may evolve into something more encyclopedic?

Hi, you deleted outright the wikipedia page for the BU International Affairs Association under the grounds that it was not notable enough to merit a wikipedia page. There was nothing factually incorrect with the page and it is a well-known organization, both in the United States and internationally. Many people put in a lot of work into building the page over many years, and the creators waited until they thought it was notable enough to create a wikipedia page. I've dealt with moderators and administrators for quite a while and came to solutions in the past. Could you please explain your decision to delete the page? What is notable to you may be very different to me, or other people out there.
Thanks. WLP
Hi, you deleted the page for miraDry, which is a new medical treatment for hyperhidrosis. It's a procedure that uses microwave tech to essentially zap the sweat glands in a targeted area and kill them, thus reducing the amount of sweat coming from the area. The article made no advertising claims of any kind and I tried to be as technical on the mechanics of the procedure as I could cross referencing them to other wiki pages. I provided several references other than the companies website for additional information. I don't want to simply undo your deletion, so I have requested the page be created from the category here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences/Medicine#Medical_devices_.2F_tests but I am hoping you could reconsider and undo the deletion. The treatment is something that is permanent, unlike botox as it's done once and then you're done, unlike botox which has to be used every few months, as well as, there is no surgery involved as in ETS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mghurston ( talk • contribs) 17:00, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for clueing me in copyrightwise 5 October. In response to the G12 notice and after educating myself, today I added and updated and rephrased information, attributed and linked to Cal Arts and acknowledge their permission in my Dareyl User talk (photo could not be reproduced below). If satisfactory, why not showing up on Wikipedia now? If unsatisfactory, what more do I need to do to publish this piece on Dr. Sarnat? Let me know if you can't access my full revisions Much appreciated, Dareyl Dareyl ( talk) 15:27, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Gerard Sarnat is a poet, physician, executive, academic and social activist. Gerry has used the penname Gesundheit Sarnatzky, based on a persona created in his first book of poetry, 2010's HOMELESS CHRONICLES from Abraham to Burning Man. The nom de plume derives from great-great grandparents, shtetl lowlifes, Nahum and Yente Sarnatzky, and Jacob Ben Isaac Gesundheit, the High Rabbi of Warsaw. To update and paraphrase the bio from HOMELESS publisher California Institute of Arts and Letters' website http://www.calartsandletters.org/homeless-chronicles/ with permission, during 2008 Sarnat was published in over sixty journals and anthologies and received recognition domestically and internationally. In 2009 Gerry first edited literary periodicals. In 2010 HOMELESS CHRONICLES was sold in bookstores, on Amazon, etc.; he was invited to perform radio interviews and readings that are available as NPR and iTunes podcasts and do workshops in Israel. In 2010-11, Sarnat’s work was critiqued by senior Los Angeles School poet William Mohr, whom Gerry studies with on a regular basis. Currently Sarnat is drafting the manuscript for his second book, Disputes, which will be published by Pessoa Press in 2012. Gerard graduated from Harvard College in 1967 and received his MD from Stanford Medical School in 1972. He is a board-certified in Internal Medicine, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. He has been a CEO and chief medical officer for national healthcare companies and a Stanford Medical School professor. For forty years, Gerry has worked in and set up clinics for the disenfranchised. He has chaired community organizations and served on international non-profit boards. Sarnat is a father of three, grandfather of two, and has been married since 1969. Visit gerardsarnat.com.

Responding to "meaningless" description of Article receiving PROD, resulting in deletion
Orig. Article: Amsterdam Declaration
Questions: In what manner does the article satisfy the conditions for "meaningless" to be an accurate description? Logically the allegation is tenuous. Proof of a negative is impossible in every field.
Secondly, a point of manners. When a party is new to a craft, and the overall "community" claims to encourage participation by newcomers, the character of the words used was questionable. At minimum, it requires an individual in an editorial capacity to take the writer to task on points, instead of making statements that border on od hominem.
The tone raises a question of ideological grounds might underlie the PROD.
This is one further reason for criticism to be tempered in the context of deletion directives.
A moderation of tone is indeed most incumbent if that editor motions for deletion. Next, I thought this to be an article crafting process where one could make it a work in progress, adding and refining over time.
Yes it (you say it ought not even be considered an 'article') detours into too many subtopics for the length and citations extant.
By no means was it in final form--nor is any Wiki really in such a terminal/fixed status.
Lastly, in what particular points does the article fail? How is its significance unclear?
As a next step, I request you restore the article from deletion. Upon notice, I will set to curing some of the defects you've decried while setting about shoring up citations, adding to significance and factual discussion, including the addition of links.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,

Hello Fastily,
I am writing in regards to your recent deletion of the article on Pario. In the interest of full disclosure, Pario is a product developed by my company and I personally played a large role in the creation of both the product and the Wikipedia article. Having said that, I did try to write the article from a neutral point of view, although I do appreciate that neutrality is difficult to achieve from someone so close to the subject as myself. Taken to the extreme, one could argue that it is impossible for any human to achieve total neutrality on any topic of which he or she possesses enough familiarity to write intelligently...
Regardless, you specifically cited G11 (blatant advertisement) for on-sight deletion, and your user page clearly states that this criterion is measured by an article's own merit and not by its comparison to other articles. While I respect the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia, I do feel that there is a certain amount of bias towards inclusion of articles for established, well-known products in this space. From everything I have deduced from the Wikipedia policies, it would appear that the ultimate cause for deletion of the Pario article was that its contents were not verifiable by enough reliable, third-party sources. If you would indulge me for a moment of comparison, I used Wavemaker as a basis for the article on Pario. Like Wavemaker, the article for Pario was not much more than a brief description and a list of features. It is true that Wavemaker does appear to have a more substantial collection of third-party references than Pario had, but if you start clicking through the links you will find: a couple of the links do not work; a few of them read like press releases (as did ours); none of them are academic; and the two product reviews (arguably the references with the most substance) don't provide much more than a cursory validation that the product exists and does what the Wikipedia article states. This to me seems to violate the notion that an article should represent "fairly, proportionately, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources" ( Wikipedia:NPOV), and leads me to the seemingly inescapable conclusion that articles for Wavemaker and other similar products are allowed simply because they are more well-known.
Please note also that we hadn't even entertained the thought of writing a Wikipedia article for Pario until it was removed from the List of rapid application development tools article, with the citation that external links did not belong in the list. It just seems kind of unusual that a RAD tool like Pario can exist, but it effectively cannot be mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia --- neither in its own article, nor even in an article that contains a list of known RAD tools. This doesn't really seem to embody the spirit of Wikipedia to me, but then I could be wrong.
I am looking for any guidance you can provide in helping me understand what could have been different about the Pario page to warrant its retention. Could it be as simple as a product review? Your candid feedback is appreciated.

Hi Fastily, I found two articles with red links to Hugo De Man. I knew he is a Belgian person and I created a soft redirect to the nl wiki as a kind of stub.

I forget whether you were the one who initiated this deletion the first time. If not, Dyson was adjudged to be notable enough and the article was kept. As an incumbent state legislator for nearly 15 years, Dyson certainly passes WP:POLITICIAN. This article also falls within the goals of WP:STLEG to create new stubs on state legislators who haven't previously had articles created. The only issue I see has to do with issues regarding the article's creator, which I see as being a strawman argument, if anything. If there are other issues with the article, please feel free to express those. As you can see for yourself, WP:ALASKA hasn't been very active the past several years, so if improvements need to be made, they just very well may be slow in coming.

Dear Fastily, you recently deleted my article Ups and Downs (band) for "unambiguous copyright infringement". I am struggling to understand why you did this, as I believe I had correctly edited the article to use nothing other than my own words, and I had left a message on the talk page for the article to say this. In this same edit, I also added additional factual material sourced from multiple external sources which was, I believe, correctly attributed. I have received no explanation as to why my edit was unsatisfactory.
Please, I am a beginning wikipedia editor, and I am trying to learn how to do this correctly. I can see now that my original article had problems, but I have genuinely tried to address them. If there were still problems after my last edit, it would be useful to know what they are so I can attempt once again to set these right. Tttallis ( talk) 21:06, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
My apologies if I'm getting this wrong, but you seem to be replying by pointing me back to the original message about copyright. Is that what the above text means? My last edit re-wrote the article to remove all traces of the cited article. I'm pretty confident there's not a single sentence or sentence fragment in common between the two. I'd really like to get this right, but I genuinely don't understand what I am doing wrong. Is there some other procedure I've missed? Would my last edit have been acceptable if it had been submitted as a recreated article? Perhaps my mistake was in not waiting for the deletion to proceed first. If that is the case, is there someone reading this with the right access to retrieve the text of the last edit and submit it as a new article? I don't believe I have the right access to do that, and I don't have a copy of what I wrote :( Tttallis ( talk) 01:00, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello Fastily, I hope I am communicating with an actual person and not a chat bot. By the trouble it took me to find a way to communicate with you, I hope you will appreciate that I am sincere. If you go to any search engine (pick your fav!), and type in either "Inali-Wakan" or "Scraling", you will see you get little information. A few friends of mine have been suggesting that I create a WIKI page to explain those terms. One is an ancient Scandinavian word that does not exist on the internet (it only exists in History Books), the other is a Lakota word for "Quiet Spirit" - so I thought you guys would be interested in being the First on the block to have definitions/descriptions. I also posted some things about my family name (Klingensmith) to help clear up some controversy in my Inali-Wakan article, but I take it this is a no-no. I saw you had several articles already posted about my family name, but I am new to WIKI, so my bad.
I really am who I say I am and can send you links to my websites (not going to do That again on here), government agencies who can verify who I am, or photos, or my phone number, whatever it takes to share some information.

Hi Fastily, I want a favor: It appears that several articles such as the Diary of a Wimpy Kid articles are continuously being vandalised and it is putting a rough time on most editors. Can I request you semi-protect the following articles: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, List of Characters in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, as they are continously being vandalized.

Hope you don't mind that I made you my go to admin, but I'm having trouble again. Please take a look at the history of August 2010 West Bank shooting attack, I removed a sentence that seemed to be just a racist non-sensical quote from a random person. It was instantly returned, with a statement that my edit was based on me not liking it. I took it out again, and it was replaced, again Plot Spoiler stated I was doing it for seemingly personal reasons. I than realized that the quote mixed with the following sentence which proves the quote wrong actually makes it so that Plot Spolier is calling the man a liar, so I deleted due to wp:blp and wp:or. Plot Spoiler than re-adds again, again making attacks on me, saying I'm doing it for opinionated reasons, and again giving no insight into the value of the quote he keeps adding. He also posted a long threatening message on my my talk. Can you talk with him and give us both some advice on what to do now. Thanks, Public awareness ( talk) 00:54, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
190.161.134.66, who you blocked on 4 October, is back, editing as 200.83.32.16. This edit to Reservoir Dogs is identical to the edit over which he edit-warred previously. The other edits the IP has made today are of the same style. I have reverted all of the IP's edits today, as it seems clear this is a block-evading sock. He implied on this talk page that he would get another IP and continue editing. I guess he kept his promise. --- RepublicanJacobite TheFortyFive 16:50, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you recently deleted a page that I believe to be a mistake with a "Prod expired". I tried to do a restore request, but the request keeps erring out because the page doesn't exist. I may be doing the request incorrectly, as I'm not a wiki expert. Here is the reasoning I tried requesting it:
It was just discovered that Donald Braswell's wiki page has been deleted. I cannot now see what discussions were held regarding it's deletion, if there were any, and the reason the page was removed other than a PROD request. Donald Braswell was a Broadway star in the 1950's and was a performer at the 1968 world's fair at the Hemisphere. His list of credits, including his appearances on the Ed Sullivan show were listed on his page. He is the father of America's Got Talent Donald Brawell II. I would like to respectfully request that the page be restored. Thank you. - Wikiauthenticity ( talk) 18:23, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Can you please help me sort this all out?
Thank you so much,
Cherie
Dear Fastily,
It appears that I was able to make the request for recovery of Donald Braswell's page ok, despite getting an error. Now I have two requests out there. Sorry to have bothered you with the last message. If you can do anything to help me sort this all out, though, I would appreciate it.

The Article you deleted is substantially different to the last one discussed in the deletion discussion. There are now many sources that indicate he meets GNG. I only created because of this major difference did you check that. This should never be speedy deleted. I had in my userspace but i wish to contest your decision as the code you used was not what the article was nominated for nor do i beleive you checked to see if meets GNG should go to an AFD.

Was created less than a week ago as the result of an image-renaming and at least one article was using the image via this previous-location name. When you deleted the redirect, apparently before updating the articles that used the old name to use the new name instead, User:ImageRemovalBot came along and removed the now-redlinked image from the article using it.

Hi Fastily, your opinion would be appreciated. Here [21] the vignette "No Win Scenario" was added. The text is a direct copyvio from here [22] which I don't care about, so there isn't a problem with "Gee, the STP2 gang is gonna get upset for the copyvio" - I won't, and can (am authorized to) speak on behalf of the rest of us regarding this type of matter. The problem is thus: we can't creative commons or pd the stuff, so even though we won't take any action, it's against WP's policies and I do not know what repercussions that might cause. I could simply rewrite it, except I have a very clear and definite COI with that topic (ya know, being one of the producers and such). So, your advice would be appreciated.

Hello Fastily. A week ago I left a message on the talkpage of Fbot, but now my message has been automatically archived without any answer from you. You probably should set the archiving on Fbot's talkpage to be less aggressive, or put a note there that you also check the archive (I sure hope you do check the archive).
To make sure you get this, here is my message again:
A month ago Fbot tagged one of my images with {{
Orphan image}}. But while it did so it also changed all instances of "<
" to "<
" which completely damaged the image description and broke the {{
Information}} template.
Here is the diff
I hope Fbot hasn't damaged too many image pages in the same way...

Here's a hint for you. I am an Organ Transplant Nurse. I save lives for a living. I have done so for 30 years. I'm aggressive when it comes to facts. That's why I've not had one case of medical malpractice filed against me in 30 years. You supposed "here to help me" message above, doesn't. My photo is up, but not the wiki page.?.?. First you talk to me as if I'm "impatient" after waiting 2 days. I'm glad you aren't burdened with the responsibility of taking care of hospital patients, they might not survive your "time tables." But wiki is not a life or death situation. WIKI made a accusation saying they mystically thought was someone else's photo of me was being posted uncredited & then "nominated" to remove it. Without SEEKING FACTS. No apology was given. And given your trite, patronizing, "hint this & hint that" statement above: consider manners. My posting of my emails was to point out to you that 2 individuals have indicated they intended to hack & remove my wiki info. Then my wiki info was removed. This is not an effort to "air dirty laundry." It is an effort to ENLIGHTEN YOU. Which, given your response of "off-wiki, keep it there," you aren't interested in enlightenment of facts.

Sorry to butt in here, but I had intended to edit this before it was deleted so I do have some knowledge of what's going on. According to the Duplication Detector Report prior to deletion, the longest passage of the article which duplicated the Hard Tackle page was fifteen words in the first section. Second place went to the link in the CSD template, and third (I think) was the phrase "goals for India".

Hi Fastily! I've come here for a little help as you were the admin who deleted two articles as I tagged them {{ db-move}}. The issue is regarding three articles, Saathiya – Pyar ka Naya Ehsaas, Saathiya (TV series) and Saath Nibhaana Saathiya. The first article ( Saathiya – Pyar ka Naya Ehsaas) was a 2004 TV series which was exclusively known by its full name, and should thus be located at " Saathiya – Pyar ka Naya Ehsaas". The third article ( Saath Nibhaana Saathiya) is an extremely popular 2011 series which people call "Saathiya" and thus should be known as " Saathiya (TV series)". I had moved these yesterday, but Survir ( talk · contribs) moved 'em back, saying that the first serial is referred to as Saathiya. If this was the case, a Google seach would atleast mention the 2004 serial somewhere. Yes, it refers to the Star Plus series as "Saath Nibhaana Saathiya" but even the network refers to the serial as "Saathiya" without "Saath Nibhaana" ( logo; translation).

Hello Fastily,
I am just made aware of a page created recently ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonita_Lontoh) that you deleted on October 13, 2011 at 07:41 am due to G12: Unambigious copyright infringement of http://www.newscertified.com/experts/Sonita-Lontoh). I am the owner of the copyrighted materials and have sent my granting the permission to copy material already online to the permissions-en@wikimedia.org email address. I am writing this message on your talk page to post the {{ OTRS pending}} notice because there is no discussion page as the article has been deleted. I am new to wikipedia, so please let me know if there is more I need to do to grant the permission correctly. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The image that you just deleted was previously moved by User:FleetCommand to another filename, at 10:27 UTC yesterday. Since you deleted the "illumina.jpg" file, (which I'm trying to understand how that was done since it was already moved, unless a "move" in Wikipedia is actually more like a "copy"...) what should be done with the "moved" file?

could you please undelete the Jensen article? I never saw the prod notice or I would have improved the article. Jensen DOES meet college athlete notability guidelines, specifically in that he has "Gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team" - both when he played and since. Jensen is one of the classic figures in college basketball history and had a perfect game in the 1985 NCAA final - one of the biggest upsets in sports history. He has gotten a lot of press since for that reason. I'd be happy to document all this in his article but would prefer not to start over. Thanks Rikster2 ( talk) 00:11, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
I noticed you just deleted SS personnel assigned to Auschwitz, which was a valid redirect. How is that eligible for deletion under CSD criteria G8? Also, it looked like the page was serving as the attribution history for a merge, so if it stays deleeted you you will need to revdel the portions of the target page that were merged in as without attribution it is a copyright violation.

So I'm back, I need you to look at Talk:Al-Qaeda under "Terrorist?". A few editors are trying to ignore WP:Terrorist and label the organization as a terrorist group. At the top of the talk page it even says "Wikipedia has a policy of not calling people or groups "terrorist". This is not an indication of condoning "terrorist" activities, but of neutrality, and avoidance of passing judgment, affirming or denying." This was not enough for these individuals, so I provided sources which show many notable western people and organizations do not think they are a terrorist group but conclude they are an insurgent group. Please put an end to this, keep opinions and designations attributed. Thanks, Public awareness ( talk) 18:49, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

As is the case here, the editor in question misread the situation and made a series of assumptions with no basis for their claims. Many of my edits revert original research and excessive trivia, as the articles must at least attempt to be encyclopedia standard. If this editor had simply asked me about the edits in question, I would have been happy to explain. Doing things this way, however, simply weakens their credibility still further - particularly since it seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to a reversion of one of their edits.

Last night I placed a G11 tag on this article, which had been written by a user named "Identity Management". You deleted it, but he asked me (a reasonable mistake) to undelete it. Checking, I find that the term Stigma management to be standard and a reasonable topic for an article, so I did undelete and move it to that title. I continue to think it COI based on the user name and OR or copyvio based on the style, but I think I was overhasty calling it a speedy--as I could not identify an organization or product of that precise name.

Hi. The contributor who tagged this article for speedy deletion dropped by my talk page to talk about copyright concerns with it. On investigation, I have restored it for processing through the copyright problems board. It isn't likely that the article was copied from the defunct site flagged: the earliest date on the website flagged is October 2010; our article predates that by 8 months. Moreover, in the first listing on that page, they acknowledge copying Wikipedia. It seems to have actually been copied from Wikia, which could be repaired with attribution (although it's far too long!), but I'll look into the matter further before restoring the content.

You deleted this page this morning using the reason that it was a hoax. I spent time explaining on the talk page of this article that the fact that it was a hoax was the whole point. I have a group of seventh graders who copy large slabs of information from the internet with no concern for its accuracy and submit this as their own work for assessments. I constructed this article to show them how easy it is to post inaccurate information on the internet. I explained all of this on the talk page and asked that the page be left until after the lesson, which is later today. Unfortunately, you did not read this explanation and have deleted my morning's preparation for that lesson. I also stipulated that I would happily delete the page myself following the lesson. Given my explanation and the imminent deletion of the page by my own hand, I do not see that it would have done anyone a great deal of harm in the 3 or so hours it would have existed.

Hi. I'm new as a Wikipedia editor. I registered a few days ago, soon after discovering that a valuable article that I had consulted previously had been deleted. The article is about a contemporary philosopher, Stephen Palmquist, who, in my opinion, is one of the leading experts on Kant’s philosophy. I located the deleted version, then read the Talk page that ended in the initial deletion decision. I then uploaded my significantly revised version, with numerous changes that I believe satisify all the requirements of Wikipedia's Notability rules, as I understand them. Can you please restore the deleted page, as it is not even close to being identical to the previously uploaded page? If Ozob or others wish to conduct a further discussion for deletion of this new page, that is fine.

I was particularly interested in the copyvio issues regarding the use of a photo of Charging Bull - I was wondering if you could include your thinking on this. Kelly hi! 05:40, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
First of all thank you for the first answer. I am new here and as I have stated before, I am ready to help improve the currently deleted page by adding to it independent/reliable sources. What I need is the page again in order to make the changes. How do I have access to it (it doesn't have to be public, just for me to start working on that page again)?

Hello,I'm sorry to disturb you.My article "China Discussion Association" has been deleted for the reason "the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article".However "China Discussion Association" is a famous competition in China,maybe I should have added more imformation to show what is in there is true.Could you please recover my article so that I can write it better?

Pls note that
Caesar II is a very well known and widely used pipe stress analysis commersial engineering software package. Pipe stress analysis is a specialised mechanical engineering topic, but this particular software is almost exclusively used in the industry when it comes to pipe stress. I am of the opinion it should be un-deleted. Googling it gives for example
this and
this but most information can be found on the Coade site. It is to a great degree a "scientific" software package and i could say that the third-party wikipedia rule does not fully apply here. The article could just be a summmary of the info provided by Coade and still be usefull for wikipedia readers.

Dear Fastily,
You speedy deleted the article Oxwall from wikipedia due to copyright infringement (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://oxwall.org/). I would like to request you, if possible, to provide the exact reason for copyright infringement (was it textual content, or an image). I will be glad to re-write the article if required. But the problem is that I can't seem to find my draft for the article. Will you be able to let me know what exactly was a subject to copyright infringement in the article, and undelete it so that I could make the necessary corrections?
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Fastily,
I'm just getting around to asking you about the article you deleted that I wrote about the Riordan Clinic. The reason the article was deleted was given as "clearly doesn't meet WP:Notability (organizations and companies) as there aren't sufficient independent sources to prove notability". While I admit that I hadn't gotten around to adding additional sources, I feel that this article was prematurely deleted. This is especially the case considering other hospital articles listed under in article "List of hospitals in Kansas". For example, the Wesley Medical Center has no more content than I had and has zero references. Labette Health has two references from the same site, less content, and has avoided deletion for over a year. I don't see why my article was removed when these two remain.
I'd like to recreate the article with more content that I've been working on outside of Wiki and with more sources (both official and independent). I feel it's important that people can learn about hospitals in our community and even if the information is brief and to the point it should be available. I understand that incorrect information should be removed, but valid information about any hospital is noteworthy if it helps people get the help they need and I put out what I had available at the time.
Here are a couple examples of why I feel it's notable:
Thanks for your consideration.
If I don't hear back from you in a week or so I'll go ahead and assume it's ok to recreate the article. Otherwise, I'd appreciate it if it could be restored. Thanks.

Hi Fastily, Yesterday I tagged two articles as copypaste moves:
I tagged them both for copy-paste moves, as the old articles existed for some time; they were both edited under their new titles as well as their old titles. You deleted both of them, but did not do the histmerge that was needed (I realize I used the wrong tag there). Then today, you deleted the redirects that contained the old attribution history and whatever remained of those articles. Can you please restore all the articles and complete the histmerge? Thanks. -- Fiftytwo thirty ( talk) 02:06, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Any reason why you blanked the page? Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions 03:40, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Regarding your edit to Hefnerkerze: the content you removed was not "obscured by the redirect". The "R from" templates are designed for use on redirect pages, and category tags work properly on redirect pages as well. Adding a category to a redirect page causes the redirected term to appear in the category page. This is useful if the term is very different from what it redirects to.-- Srleffler ( talk) 03:50, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you removed some categories from redirects in articles relating to murder cases with the message "Removing content obscured by redirect". I thought it was Wikipedia policy to categorise redirects in some cases (I thought if the page focuses on the victim then the categories for the killer would go on the redirect if they were reasonably notable?).
For example I wrote the Murder of Lakhvinder Cheema article and the killer in that case received just as much attention as the victim if not more so therefore should surely remain in various categories (poisoners etc) for the benefit of people navigating through Wikipedia via categories? Thanks.-- Shakehandsman ( talk) 04:06, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

You deleted an article on "Conscious Business", which was not written by me, but is an important topic in the subject of business sustainability, green business, etc. It really should be included in Wikipedia. I linked to the page from my website, as I do with other topics, to educate viewers on such related topics. This is the purpose of Wikipedia isn't it? I cannot reference the article now, but I don't remember it being an advertisement, unless it referred viewers to the writer's business in the credits? If so, just delete the business referral, not the content. I work this new field of Conscious Business and encourage the widely recognized subject to be included in Wikipedia.

Hi Fastily,
This is a minor niggle, but it's been bugging me... I recently encountered the article Tongue drums and thought to move it to Tongue drum. That page already exists (it was an empty page), so I made it into a redirect instead, but now I'm frustrated - the page title should definitely be "Tongue drum", per WP:TITLEFORMAT. Any chance you could delete Tongue drum under G6, move Tongue drums there instead and create a redirect from the plural to the singular when you have the time?

You speedy deleted Aaron Livesy and Jackson Walsh on the grounds that it duplicated the Jackson Walsh article. It did not duplicate that article, and you deleted it without giving me a chance to discuss it. If anything, it should have been listed for a deletion discussion: its structure was based on the article John Paul McQueen and Craig Dean, which survived a similar deletion attempt although both characters have their own stand-alone articles as well. Although Aaron Livesy and Jackson Walsh was just at the beginning stage (I only created it a few hours ago), the article was well-sourced and as encyclopedic as any of the others in the List of fictional supercouples.

Hi there. Regarding this revert of yours. I thought I'd fill you in on the full picture. The user that uploaded the image also created the article Jason 'Jonty' Rhodes, which was deleted under WP:CSD#G12. The content of the article had been cut-and-pasted from Jason Rhodes' own Facebook page. If you look at the photos on the Facebook page, and the image uploaded by the user then you'll see that the uploaded file is a cut-and-paste of this Facebook image (all rights of which are reserved by Facebook). Examining the history of the uploaded image also shows that it was tagged for WP:CSD#F4, but that tag was removed by the uploader. It's obviously yet another copyvio by the same user. — Fly by Night ( talk) 20:12, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Although my request for the temporary semi-protection of the List of time zones by country was declined, the edit warring between the two IP users is still continuing in that article. The issue is about Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova. One IP user is putting it in the list and the other IP user is removing it from the list. However only de-jure (internationally recognized) countries and their dependencies are listed and no breakaway de-facto states are or were listed at all – with the exception of the partially recognized state of Kosovo. Due to this I removed Transnistria since no other unrecognized state are listed and put in parentheses that Kosovo is a "partially recognized state", and urged both IP users to stop the edit warring.

Hello Fastily,
I wanted to get in touch with you about your removal of the "Booktrack" page from the Wikipedia site. It appears that you deleted the page due to it violating the copyright of an article posted on Zepy.net. While I appreciate the thoroughness of your citation, it appears that the article from Zepy was in and of itself a blatant plagiary of the press release that the company released and that was cited in the initial article. [You can see the original press release at http://www.booktrack.com/blog.do?pid=1]. Given that this is information that has been sanctioned for release by the company and that it was properly cited in the original article, would it be possible to reconsider the deletion of this article?

I am extremely confused as to why this content was deleted. This read in no way as a promotion. It read as an educational topic on a document released via several channels. it had references to validate all things said, and was in now way biased. Jeremyritzmann ( talk) 03:05, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi!

Fastily: can you put the reigns on this Wagano user? He/she reverted an entry I removed vandalism from moments after I removed it, yet the text I removed was improper in every way imaginable (incorrect claim wedged into opening text, rife with spelling mistakes, improper English besides), so Wagano obviously restored it without even reading it -- *unless* it was Wagano who added it in the first place, which seems likely. On visiting the user's talk page, it appears this is not the first issue with this user. Please seriously consider revoking rollback privileges. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.163.20 ( talk) 08:45, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I think this guy has finally started to understand what the whole problem was - maybe. He has agreed to a topic ban on Middle-Eastern- and Indian-related articles, which hopefully should help avoid some of the less pleasant comments he's made; he's also asking for help with editing, which I consider a positive sign from any one.

Hi Fastily. I have created a page you deleted, named "Blue Note Milano Jazz Club". I'm working for Blue Note in Milano (Italy), we need our wikipedia page, because we are an istitution, not because we want to advertise and promote our concerts. we are in franchising with the historical Blue Note Jazz Club in New York, you can find all the information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Note_Jazz_Club there's a link to our website in that page.
I ve created my page following the Blue Note NY description, because essentially we the same thing.
What can I modify to have our page? I really can't find the "ambiguous advertisment" you talked about, I wrote just informations abouts our jazz club! please tell me what can I do!

Fastily, Whoever you are?
You deleted a page "Joe Napolitano" for some reason. Could you explain in plain english not wiki talk exactly why it was deleted? First of all, I did not create the page. However I am Joe Napolitano and I did go in and correct it and update my information and credits which can all be verified on imdb (International Movie Data Base) and or with the DGA (Directors Guild of America).
I always thought that Wikipedia was about keeping information accurate and current? With that in mind could you explain your action? I'd appreciate it.
Also by the way, there's some of us who depend on the accuracy of Wiki to the public in our careers. People check us out before entering into business with us.
Thanks for your time, next time you might want to check with the source before playing god.

Hi,
Hate to bother you, but I saw your comment on that editor's talk page. The editor continues to replace images which comply with fair use rationale with top quality photos which unfortunately are copyrighted (unless they are gimped a bit first to make them fall in line with fair use). The editor uses 70+ year rationale despite the photos being either (a) taken less than 70 years ago (b) not taken in Europe. Speedy deleting photos that were present for 2+ years on Wikipedia and replacing them with copyrighted photos (that were also present on the web 2+ yeas ago, but were not used due to ... copyright issues) is plain vandalism when done on a large scale as the editor has been doing. Now the old photos are deleted and the new ones are private property, so those articles now will have no photos. If you have a moment, please take a look at this situation once more. Thank you in advance. Cheers! Meishern ( talk) 21:25, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I thought I would pass on to you some information on a user you blocked for disruptive editing 190.161.134.66 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and the same individual for sock-puppetry under the IP 200.83.32.16 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).
This person has also been editing under the following IPs:
186.107.167.11 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
200.83.32.2 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
200.104.181.183 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
and using one of which he has managed to stir up more trouble.
These three IPs are currently unblocked and are still available for him to use although there has been no activity on them for the past two weeks. I don't know if you want to just keep an eye on these, pass them on somewhere else, or just go ahead and block them also. Personally I dont think any action would be too harsh in this case. I briefly dealt with this person about a month ago over the abusive language he was using in his edit summaries. The user responded as if he was more interested in picking a fight with me. Reading through his contributions under 190.161.134.66 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) painted a disturbing picture to me. The user took to extremely aggressive and abusive tones over the most minor of edits and corrections, at times spouting off at no one in particular or at whoever may have been responsible for the content he was editing. In one case he entered four consecutive aggressive taunts in edit summaries on one page, without anyone responding in between, arguing with...no one! Like I said, disturbing, and I for one felt uncomfortable editing any page he had anything to do with.
One thing I don't know is under what IP he editing under now, if he is in fact still editing. Perhaps he has moved on to something other than Wikipedia to occupy his frustrated life.-- Racerx11 ( talk) 04:34, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

My page Auto Italia South East was deleted, the reason stated was 'ambiguous advertising' which is ridiculous. The page consisted of a simple description and history of the well renowned artists' run space. Auto Italia has recently become a National Portfolio Organisation meaning that it is of national importance to arts and culture [1] [2].

Hey Fastily, my brother's doing fine, he pulled out an hour after they finished the surgery. My mom kept saying "Of he'd make a liar out of me." and I told her "Would you rather he pulled out faster then you thought or not at all?" but he's fine. I'm so glad. It was hard to see him in the hospital though all prepped for surgery. When my mom and my sister went out to go talk, I was talking to him and I told him how much I loved him and that I had worried about him all month and he took his good and and literally went and grabbed mine and held it. I almost cried. You see my brother is mentally 2 years old due to what my dad beating him in the head when he's 18 months old and so he's brain dead on the right side. So he's left side is completely paralyzed. But I wouldn't trade him for the world. That moment was the greatest I'd ever had with him. He was trying to comfort me. He even told me he was nervous. I am so happy he pulled out. But I'd thought I'd let you know he pulled out and he's doing good. I just heard from my mom and the group home that takes care told her he's doing good.

To whom it may belong
Please inform us why you have deleted the page EAST-NMR.
The page was about a European Framework programme financed by the European Research Programme FP7. The aim of the project is to disseminate the NMR technique and to give the opportunity to Eastern countries and/or to universities/research facilities to use existing NMR facilities. We are not making some marketing to sell something! The project is financed by public money and we can not understand why this should not be ok for a wiki entry.
Please let us know as soon as possible! We have to inform the EC about this issue, as our wiki entry was one of our deliverable in the project.

By far, Miner Dig Deep is the more addictive and enjoyable of the two titles,..." My article is not Spam, as I sell nothing, and have no financial interest in the game. My article is not Puffery, as the descriptions used were from Game Review Websites, not just of my opinion. Simon Stevens of XBLIG Review (one of my sources) mentions that "Miner Dig Deep has sat close to the top of the XBLIG charts for quite a long time now" - which tells me that as one of the best selling indie titles ever, it is "noteworthy" enough to warrant a Wikipedia page.

YoHo Artist Studios is a community of producing artists and crafters that work out of two of the former Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills buildings at 540/578 Nepperhan Avenue in Yonkers, New York. The population renting private studios here has grown to over 60 working artists since the current owners acquired the five-story loft buildings in 2005.
[3] This was the largest carpet manufacturer in the world for much of the 83 years the company was in operation here in Yonkers. Not one employee lost his or her job during the Great Depression; it was agreed that hours would be cut, but jobs were not. The company was constantly improving their looms and increasing output.
[6] The company maintained a good reputation and solid success until the end of World War II, when, after a number of employee strikes the city’s largest employer relocated to Greenville, Mississippi, where workers were not unionized. In the mid-1950’s the Yonkers plant shut down entirely, leaving a massive complex vacant and an estimated 5,000 workers without jobs.
[7]
At closure, almost half the workers had put 25 or more years of their life into this company.
[8]The stronghold along Nepperhan and Saw Mill River, and within the Yonkers community, was suddenly gone.
[9] Beginning of YoHo Artist Studios: In 1983, the loft buildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
[12] Several years later, Yonkers and Eisenkraft began see the trend of artists moving out of Manhattan and into more affordable work space outside of the city. Thus, some of the space on the fourth floor was dedicated to be used as artist studios in the early 1990’s, and was given the name YoHo, or “Yonkers’ SoHo.”
[13] As artists sought larger spaces that they could afford, they were attracted to areas like Yonkers, which are within a 25-minute commuting distance to the traditional arts centers in SoHo and Chelsea. Some artists and crafters began sparsely occupying Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills as well as other aging buildings in Yonkers in the early 1990’s, Cite error: A Among the artists that rent or have rented space at YoHo include producers of murals, collages, sculptures, mixed media, and portraits. While the population is made up of primarily visual artists and specifically painters, there has also been a jewelry maker, a surface decorator, tattoo artist, lighting fixture designer, and custom motorcycle graphic artist.
[15]
YoHo has grown and expanded since the property’s most recent acquisition in 2005. In the beginning of 2011 the owners started planning for the incorporation of 25 new spaces that would occupy a newly-opened fourth floor wing. These new studios sought to improve upon the original 50+ studios that were already occupied at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue – by this time known to be Southern Westchester’s largest artist community.

It had been posted for nearly 2-years with no reported issues, regular updates as needed, citations provides and guidelines of encyclopedia-like entry followed in terms of factual vs. advertising content. It was even cited in other Wikipedia articles, such as the Hibernia Atlantic and Global Crossing entries(now broken links), as well as external links such as http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-214-506-7177 for a citizen researching a telemarketing fraud issue. The company has been instrumental in building the wholesale telecom industry and is a case study in effectively emerging from bankruptcy. Having just been purchased by Zayo, the article's absence from Wikipedia in September now creates a hole in the greater wholesale telecom story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skeoch.s ( talk • contribs) 15:55, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
I see that you speedily deleted this article per G11. Unfortunately, this created quite a few redlinks, including Ansell (disambiguation) where the deleted article was the primary topic.
I seem to remember contributing to the article some years ago, and at that time it was not advertising. It seems that at some point the article was highjacked. Is there any way of retrieving the history so that we can restore an earlier and acceptable version?
Thanks.-- Mhockey ( talk) 03:07, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, but all I see now is a redirect to Ansell (disambiguation). The lost article I was looking for was one on the long established Australian company Ansell, which started life in about 1890 as Dunlop Australia. There are now a lot of links to the dab page which should be to the lost article on the company. Mhockey ( talk) 03:13, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
Fbot marked File:159th Fighter Wing.png (and a few other files) as eligible for a Commons move despite having {{ Non-free image data}} and {{ Non-free image rationale}}. The two templates imply that an image is not eligible for a Commons move, so could you add them to some template blacklist? It would also be practical to have "move to Commons" tags removed if found on an image with these templates.
File:159th Fighter Wing.png is in fact in the public domain, so I will fix the licence templates and move it to Commons. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 16:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

You deleted a photo pursuant to a PUF discussion. [50]. The identical photo has been re-created, and I've marked for PUF. [51]. Should this instead simply be deleted?

Hello Fastily. I would appreciate your help. The article Steve James Sherlock was placed in the Article Incubator - It needed some work to establish Notability.

Hi. Please do not delete intentional disambiguation redirects. These redirects are created in accordance with our finely balanced policy at WP:INTDABLINK, under which we route disambiguation links through "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects to prevent false positives from appearing on the lists of pages requiring repair, which prevents unnecessary work for disambiguators. Because articles occasionally need to refer readers to the actual disambiguation page instead of a solution on the page, all disambig pages are supposed to have the "Foo (disambiguation)" redirect for this purpose. Also, certain templates such as the template for listing multiple species designations are designed to automatically route through such redirects, and deleting those redirects prevents those templates from functioning properly. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:40, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
I would like to know what was the reason of deleting this page. It wasn't a cop of any web page. It took me alot of time to expand previous article, in good faith. It is nessary to keep it because there aren't any analogous list in other articles. Even if there were any plagiarism in contents it would be much easier to fix it than writing whole article once again.

I notice you speedy deleted File:Indoortanninglotion.jpg. I was a bit surprised to see it speedy deleted since it has been here for years. I took that image myself, and yes it is used on the website claimed. I work for that company and took the photo using my gear, in my studio and have the authority to release any image into any license as the Director of Marketing. I've worked for them 18 years. I've uploaded other images as well for the purpose of improving Wikipedia that we use on our website. I understand the confusion since I have a clear copyright listed on the commercial website, but a select number of images we release under the CC (and a few in the PD). I have other blogs that I run that I do the same thing with: claim full copyright there, but release select images that are helpful in the PD or under CC. If there is any question about my authority to release any of our images under different licenses, you can actually call the 800 number on that website, and ask for the same name I use here, my real name. :) Hopefully, you will just restore it.

It seems that the days following Thanksgiving you specifically targetted a number of articles, images, etc. about people from Philadelphia. I find it odd that anyone would suddenly delete any article that has been properly sourced, again for at least 4 years, and then have the audacity to claim that it is being deleted on the basis of something that had never been reported on that article. You said all of these articles you deleted had "expired prods" when they most certainly did not. All you are doing is helping to delete history. Whether or not you have heard of a person living or dead, doesn't mean that they are not relavent or as wikipedia loves to put it "notable". Are you having a bad holiday weekend? Maybe you shouldn't take it out on good sourced articles that have been apart of wikipedia since it began. Notable means that something has been noted...particularly in newspapers or magazines. And all of the articles you deleted were sourced by national, international newspapers and magazines. We will all be taking this complaint further, with our lawyers. Hopefully one day wikipedia will be like it used to be. People like you only help to promote big corporate companies and squash small not for profits or independent directors, musicians and athletes that maybe by your standards haven't earned enough money to be notable enough.

Hi Fastily, I see that you deleted this page but I would like you to be aware that there is more going on here then has been mentioned. I know you are busy but this is relevant and I would like you to review this conversation as I believe there is a cause for concern : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MikeWazowski
I have posted this conversation below for your convenience:
Hey Mike, I recognize your truly a busy guy and not to waste anymore of your time here but I have to honestly say that I don't rightly understand why this particular page doesn't establish notability. And not to sound overly rude here but, if the page is going to continually be deleted, flagged, monitored, and tagged by you indefinitely, I would appreciate an answer that explains how a person who dresses up as a giant beer can ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keggy_the_keg) can have a sustainable page but this other artist/mascot/performer at Dartmouth can not? I don't understand. More specifically, how is this not notable: http://www.vnews.com/webextras/webextras-sungod.html?? Again I don't mean to sound rude in anyway, it's just that I worked hard and spent many hours trying to re-create this page again from scratch and now you deleted it again without much consideration to the fact that 80% of it's former self has been removed. I want to understand. It goes without saying that I feel very frustrated and upset because I don't know what it is you need to give this the 'okay'. Thanks for your understanding and I'm sorry if I sound upset. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGildedEdge ( talk • contribs) 00:58, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I did not delete anything - I merely flagged the article for deletion as a recreation of deleted material - which it was. The page was deleted by DGG the first time, and Fastily this time. As for the other pages, please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - I don't care about the other pages, as they have nothing to do with this discussion. And a webvideo from a local news site doesn't scream notability to me. I'm sorry, but I just don't see this as a notable individual, especially when the person in question had to create all the articles about himself the first time around, and you appear to have shown up the first time right soon after Recor asked people on his personal page to come sway the deletion discussion, and you recreated the article using elements uploaded by him.

Fastily, you summarily deleted Spain... on the road Again and its talk page giving " G6: Deleted to make room for an uncontroversial page move" as the reason.

The Wikipedia page "User talk:Banannabreadbogan" has been created on 26 November 2011 by Cmprince, with the edit summary: Notification: speedy deletion nomination of Australian Franchise Directories. ( TW)
Why did you delete this page claiming it is advertising yet pages about Nissan, Toyota and thousands of other companies are permitted? This page had sources and was written from a neutral perspective about how online directories assist thousands of people everyday. It used one company - Australian Franchises - as case example but was open for anyone to also edit and add additional case examples.
I don't understand Wikipedia, you guys claim to be about providing free information and I can appreciate not allowing blatant advertising to fill up the site, but when someone writes an article about an industry you have to use case examples - and your own rules state you have to provide references and links. Then you go and delete anything that you don't agree with or understand without providing any solid foundation or opportunity for the author to edit the article prior to deletion.
Please re-instate this article. I spent several hours writing it and your deletion of it only re-enforces the opinions of many of my friends who find wikipedia is misleading and untrustworthy.

Why did you summarily delete the following four image files files none of which had ever even been nominated for deletion, only questioned as "possibly un-free", and when you deleted them none of those discussions had even been closed?

Three of these files were created by myself and the fourth was derived from a picture post card published in 1971 without copyright (proof provided) and is also thus free. I provided extensive documentation of this in each of these discussions on the day they were opened (see summaries after each above). Please therefore promptly restore them and explain why they were deleted in the first place. Centpacrr ( talk) 22:25, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Regarding my nominations, say what you want about whether you consider them to be your own work, but in both cases, they are derivative works. In the "Calder Cup" photo, taking a photo of a screen displaying someone else's work is a derivative work of the first, plain and simple. Regarding some of the other photos you mentioned, most of them are de minimis on the screen's presence, but some may require additional attention. Regarding the "Flying Yankee" image, it was obviously the case that your "original digital illustration" was in fact derived from the now-deleted File:MEC Flying Yankee.jpg image. You can photoshop the heck out of it (which you did), and claim that it is your original work (which you also did), but it doesn't make it any less of a copyright violation, and considering how hard you have fought over a false claim of ownership on both images, you have damaged your credibility. Ever heard of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
Additionally, WP:PUF is at its heart a deletion discussion, because unless the concerns are rectified, the process ends in a deletion because when there is sufficient doubt about the copyright status of an image, we can't use it, and there is no reason to retain images that we can't use. The most common results of PUF discussions are "keep", where all concerns have been satisfactorily addressed, "converted to non-free", where we can't say for sure that it's free but all ten criteria of WP:NFCC are met (thus we can use it that way), and "delete", where all concerns have not been satisfactorily addressed and it also fails one or more criteria of WP:NFCC.
And lastly, a little civility goes a long way. You have been amazingly unkind to anyone who dares question the copyright status of your files, and that needs to change. After all, "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar," as they say. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 01:30, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Please educate me re the proper licensing of a picture taken for me of myself, at my request, under my direction, with my own camera, and which has always been in my sole custody and control. Would not the copyright of such an image be mine and mine alone to release and license as a free file? If not, what would make such an image different from thousands of other similar images on WP such as File:Ben Schumin at Iwo Jima Memorial.jpg? According to its summary, that image was made under exactly those circumstances and is licensed as a "free" image file on Commons. You have now twice deleted my userpage image of myself also made exactly the same way as that one and all the others without telling me why it is unacceptable thus leaving me at a loss to tell how you find it is different from all the others. Please therefore advise me what is the proper license for this image so that I can return it to my userpage. Many thanks. Centpacrr ( talk) 23:31, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

File:Moonmullins111255.jpg should not be reduced. The Sunday comics page has 11 panels and the entire point of the gag rests on a tiny object in panel seven.

Fbot seems to be ignoring {{Bots|deny=Fbot}}. It just tagged File:Versions of the Doctor.jpg where the template has been placed.
- J Greb ( talk) 11:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Even after J Greb removed the non-free reduced template, you went ahead and reduced this image. This is an incorrect application of #3b. It should be noted this is not "one" NFC but eleven different ones, placed in a single user-created montage as one of the few acceptable examples as such (since 11 different actors have played the role, this has been discussed several times). So in judging minimum size, we look not to the overall size of the montage, but to the individual parts, which each are about 166x200 pixels (no more than 40,000 pixels); there is no problem there, as long as we understand that there are 11 non-free images there. Treating the montage as the complete image is inappropriate in this case. #3b is not a hard limit, as several past discussions on NFC have stated (if we treated as a hard-fast limit, people will upload images to that maximum size when they don't need to be.
This is why I'm asking about the Fbot 9 task in light of WT:NFC not being notified. It itself is not a bad task, but as it is presently designed, in-congruent with how we deal with overly large images in the past, relying more on human judgement than any fixed math count. -- MASEM ( t) 18:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Not sure whether anybody has notified you, but discussion has been opened at Wikipedia_talk:Bots/Requests_for_approval#Fbot_9 concerning whether Fbot's current tasking and implementation is really such a good idea. Your thoughts would be useful.

At least three of the eight image files just tagged by User:FBot for size reduction seem to have been tagged slightly inappropriately (though understandably so). (And in all 8 copesi the article copy is much smaller than the file copy). File:2001Satellite.jpg is a high-res reproduction of a very very low-res original. To further reduce would downgrade the image unacceptably. The files File:MoneyPennyMontage.JPG and File:BondChase.JPG are both montages of which the individual elements are already at fairly low resolution, even if as a collectivity they seem to be at higher resolution. With all of these three, I would petition removal of the tag. The other 5 I would be glad to upload smaller resolution copies.-- WickerGuy ( talk) 06:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Well. I may as well join in here as start a new section. I have just had a bot place a request for me to modify 53 files on my user page. I totally support the need to stay with in the law. When these 53 shots were first put up, I erroneously had them tied into a list page (We are talking industrial archeology here), and they and the elaborate text descriptions were deleted- I read the conditions of Fair use and image size very carefully, I have written the the accompanying articles so e- verything complies- it was water tight. Take for example File:Mars_Mill,_Castleton_Rochdale_0016.png (549 × 390 pixels, file size: 163 KB, MIME type: image/png). The guidelines now say that:
As a general rule of thumb, images where one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or where the image size approaches 1.0 megapixels or more, will likely require a closer review to assure that the image needs that level of resolution. This is not a discouragement to use such images, but editors should assure that rationales fully explain the need for such level of detail.
The rationale says the image was taken from a scan- so it is obvious that thre would be a danger of moiré patterns. I am perfectly happy with the image being edited by User:ANOther and being re-saved at a lowerres- but I create text, write articles, comply with WP legislation etc within the limited time I have available.

As a general rule of thumb, images where one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or where the image size approaches 1.0 megapixels or more, will likely require a closer review to assure that the image needs that level of resolution. This is not a discouragement to use such images, but editors should assure that rationales fully explain the need for such level of detail. Would an administrator look at this image
- automatically reduce the resolution OR
- enter in discussion on the talk page as to a better way forward OR
- actively attempt to get a OTRS statement from the copyright holder
- tag it has been reviewed

Fastily, before you deleted and salted the Sierra McCormick article again, did you ask the unsalting Admin why he unsalted? Did you read the request on his talkpage? Things may have changed since the AfD, and for "up and coming" actors, relying on a decision made 5 months ago - conducted before the TV show that she's in was broadcast (on one of the biggest kids TV channels and shown worldwide) - doesn't really make much sense.

It is an option in the list of rationales, in your own guidelines, and I followed it exactly, giving the reason that to illustrate the interview I needed an image capture from the video used as a reference in the article.

YoHo Artist Studios is a community of producing artists and crafters that work out of two of the former Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills buildings at 540/578 Nepperhan Avenue in Yonkers, New York. The population renting private studios here has grown to over 60 working artists since the current owners acquired the five-story loft buildings in 2005.
[1] This was the largest carpet manufacturer in the world for much of the 83 years the company was in operation here in Yonkers. Not one employee lost his or her job during the Great Depression; it was agreed that hours would be cut, but jobs were not. The company was constantly improving their looms and increasing output.
[4] The company maintained a good reputation and solid success until the end of World War II, when, after a number of employee strikes the city’s largest employer relocated to Greenville, Mississippi, where workers were not unionized. In the mid-1950’s the Yonkers plant shut down entirely, leaving a massive complex vacant and an estimated 5,000 workers without jobs.
[5]
At closure, almost half the workers had put 25 or more years of their life into this company.
[6]The stronghold along Nepperhan and Saw Mill River, and within the Yonkers community, was suddenly gone.
[7] Beginning of YoHo Artist Studios: In 1983, the loft buildings were listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
[10] Several years later, Yonkers and Eisenkraft began see the trend of artists moving out of Manhattan and into more affordable work space outside of the city. Thus, some of the space on the fourth floor was dedicated to be used as artist studios in the early 1990’s, and was given the name YoHo, or “Yonkers’ SoHo.”
[11] As artists sought larger spaces that they could afford, they were attracted to areas like Yonkers, which are within a 25-minute commuting distance to the traditional arts centers in SoHo and Chelsea. Some artists and crafters began sparsely occupying Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills as well as other aging buildings in Yonkers in the early 1990’s,
[12] but recent years have seen the communities concentrating in these areas, especially in the North of Tilghman – or “No Ti” – district.
[13] Among the artists that rent or have rented space at YoHo include producers of murals, collages, sculptures, mixed media, and portraits. While the population is made up of primarily visual artists and specifically painters, there has also been a jewelry maker, a surface decorator, tattoo artist, lighting fixture designer, and custom motorcycle graphic artist.
[15]
YoHo has grown and expanded since the property’s most recent acquisition in 2005. In the beginning of 2011 the owners started planning for the incorporation of 25 new spaces that would occupy a newly-opened fourth floor wing. These new studios sought to improve upon the original 50+ studios that were already occupied at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue – by this time known to be Southern Westchester’s largest artist community.

Hi there, I was looking for a response to my question over at User talk:Fbot. I was wondering how you came to the decision to mark all non-free images greater than 164,025 pixels square as needing to be resized. As far as I can tell, there is no Wikipedia policy on the pixel size other than 1 mega pixel (1,000,000 pixels square), but even that is only a guideline and editors are anyways still supposed to look at each image on a case by case basis. I do see that User:Sven Manguard got a similar number from User:DASHBot, but that Bot only resizes images that have already been marked for resize by a human editor. It sure seems to me that you and Sven just invented a new policy based on an arbitrary mathematical figure, and for the last two days have been using your bot to enforce it across thousands of image pages. I see there's discussion on this above, but just where does this number comes from?-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 21:24, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
This is *extremely* annoying. Automatic intervention shouldn't be applied to cases which are either definitely OK or borderline, it should be restricted to cases which you're fairly certain need fixing. Otherwise the false positives will overwhelm human editors. Again, previous bots' version history is no excuse to be unfairly tagging thousands of images which are perfectly fine according to Wikipedia's guidelines, and the previous bot only intervened *when real people had asked for intervention by placing a tag*. Wikipedia's official rule is "images should be rescaled as small as possible to still be useful as identified by their rationale." The guideline for identifying images which could be downscaled and still be useful is "images where one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or where the image size approaches 1.0 megapixels or more, will likely require a closer review to assure that the image needs that level of resolution." Those *and only those* images should be tagged automatically. I can see a legitimate argument for automatically tagging images with 307,200 pixels or higher- captures of 640x480 computer displays, of NTSC and PAL TV and DVDs, etc should usually not be at full resolution, even though they come in under a megapixel and under 1000 px in each dimension. But 164,025px is ridiculous. I came here because some time ago I came across a 800x600 screenshot which had been reduced to a completely worthless and unidentifiable 304x228 blob. I located the original screenshot, tried resizing to 400x300, found that the image would have still been totally unusable, and instead resized to 533x400 (213,200px) which is well within Wikipedia's guidelines. Now I find your bot has tagged that to be resized again. Please stop the madness. Prodicus ( talk) 19:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

I see you're tagging old revisions of non-free pics for deletion when they are not used anywhere. [54] I would think that situation is the norm, and deleting them should be OK. But it's wikipedia's upload process that keeps the old versions visible. The editors who upload them don't have any control over that.

Hello,
I have noticed that my contribution on "Introduction to trade-mark law in Canada" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Introduction_to_trademark_law_in_Canada;_passing_off&action=edit&redlink=1) has been deleted. Although there's already a page dealing with trade-marks in general, my contribution was more specific to Canadian Law and didn't seem redundant to me. Moreover, I've been asked to cover this particular topic on Wikipedia for one of my Law classes, for which I will get a grade, so it's important that my contribution be taken into account.

Hello, I recently visited Taringa's Wikipedia page. I see that you have Socialphy under the same page just in English. Although this is somewhat true, it is inaccurate. Socialphy is a completely separate website. It has its own rules and protocol, its own staff, and its own users. Though the concept is the same, it is unique in several ways. We have tried to create its own Wikipedia page for the site but you recently deleted it as G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Our intention is not to advertise and promote the site but rather have a Wikipedia page so that people can get unbiasedly informed about the site, what it does, and how it works. We want to simply distinguish ourselves from Taringa because we are in fact a separate child, with the same parents. You wouldn't deny a sibling his own identity just because he looks like his brother or sister would you? I'm asking you so that if I create an unbiased, purely neutral page for Socialphy that you will back me up so as to avoid having it taken down for G11 again.

In addition, since I own the photo and its copyright, I placed the photo on my Facebook page [64] , my LinkedIn page [65] , and my FLICKR page [66]. I am a practicing attorney, and would not endanger my law license by violating someone's copyright. It's simply not worth it.

At least three of the eight image files just tagged by User:FBot for size reduction seem to have been tagged slightly inappropriately (though understandably so). (And in all 8 copesi the article copy is much smaller than the file copy). File:2001Satellite.jpg is a high-res reproduction of a very very low-res original. To further reduce would downgrade the image unacceptably. The files File:MoneyPennyMontage.JPG and File:BondChase.JPG are both montages of which the individual elements are already at fairly low resolution, even if as a collectivity they seem to be at higher resolution. With all of these three, I would petition removal of the tag. The other 5 I would be glad to upload smaller resolution copies.-- WickerGuy ( talk) 06:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
Well. I may as well join in here as start a new section. I have just had a bot place a request for me to modify 53 files on my user page. I totally support the need to stay with in the law. When these 53 shots were first put up, I erroneously had them tied into a list page (We are talking industrial archeology here), and they and the elaborate text descriptions were deleted- I read the conditions of Fair use and image size very carefully, I have written the the accompanying articles so e- verything complies- it was water tight. Take for example File:Mars_Mill,_Castleton_Rochdale_0016.png (549 × 390 pixels, file size: 163 KB, MIME type: image/png). The guidelines now say that:
As a general rule of thumb, images where one dimension exceeds 1,000 pixels, or where the image size approaches 1.0 megapixels or more, will likely require a closer review to assure that the image needs that level of resolution. This is not a discouragement to use such images, but editors should assure that rationales fully explain the need for such level of detail.
The rationale says the image was taken from a scan- so it is obvious that thre would be a danger of moiré patterns. I am perfectly happy with the image being edited by User:ANOther and being re-saved at a lowerres- but I create text, write articles, comply with WP legislation etc within the limited time I have available. I take it as a compliment that someone has seen fit to c&P all the text of the 53 articles using these images and publish them on paper as a book. I don't however see why I should have by agenda dictated by a bot, that has not correctly interpreted policy. I would be happy if the image had, as in policy, 'received' a closer review- and as a result an administrator had corrected any error- but it hasn,t- I would be exceedingly grateful if an administrator would set up a bot to

FSII tagged File:PAMS.jpg as not having a rationale. The editing seemed to be at an extremely high rate, perhaps too fast to manually review the image pages to actually see if there is a rationale. But the text "Non-free use rationale" is a giveaway. That particular image complies with NFCC as it has a rationale and links directly to the article where the image is being used.
Separately, I noticed some other images were tagged that have rationales except they did not know to include a link to the article, for example File:Plouhar.jpg has a paragraph-long rationale, and does mention the name of the article in the rationale. On second look that seems to be an NFCC-compliant rationale, since WP:NFUR doesn't require a link to the article, just a mention of its name. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 12:41, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
I just noticed a comment by Fastily, "I plan on reviewing all my tags in the next few days.". I think that explains why other people might think the error rate is so high, if the intention was just to tag everything and then go back and look later. But at the same time, it must be obvious that other people will interpret the addition of a "no rationale" template as an implicit claim that there is, in fact, no rationale. If you would like to tag things for your own review, why not use a template in your user space, which you can replace with the "no rationale" template after manual review. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 13:44, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Since I posted the message above I've seen similar bot-generated warnings about two files at Talk:Minamata disease. For both, you had for some reason (sleepiness?) ignored the fair-use rationales that were already present, and claimed that there was no fair-use rationale.
If a fair-use rationale is poorly or insufficiently worded but its import is clear, reword it. If you want it within some special-purpose template, then put it into the template.

Obviously, I don't know how to do this properly, and I don't have any more time to spend on it. Since I already sent the e-mail correspondence, that isn't the right way to proceed.

I'm not sure if you realized, when you added this template to
File:8 July 2011 Elektron.jpg, it asks random admins to assist with your query about the source of the file. The file came from NASA as is specified in the description, I've added a more specific source on the internet, I don't know if it is the one I got it from in the first place, I just googled the filename and it was the first thing that came up. Is the new source ok ? I'm glad I accidentally found your template before other editors went to the trouble of deleting and un-deleting the image, I'm a bit new, and so that happens sometimes, but they always get put back. But I'd like to suggest that when you tagging files for deletion please notify the uploader with: {{subst:di-no source-notice|}} as it saves time, because the uploader often knows the source of the file they uploaded. Or even just ask in ordinary words, I don't bite.

I can't understand why I have just received a batch of warning notices, including one sent to Talk:Otto_J._Zahn, claiming that there is no rationale listed for those articles, when in fact there plainly are rationales on those pages. Could it be because the rationales were not in the form of templates? Could it be because somebody found the rationales lacking in substance? This sort of thing (claiming there is no rationale when there actually is one) has been going on for a long time and is really debilitating and off-putting. I can usually cure the matter by posting the same information within a template, but why should I (or anybody else) have to take the added time to do so? I would really appreciate some light on this.

I wrote most of this in the reply on the WP:RPP page as well, but still reproducing (with additional comments) here in case you missed it before it gets deleted from there. Anyway, this is regarding the readymade stop-vandalism-warning-thingy you (as an admin) pasted all over my talk page just now. I would request you to research a bit about how my edits count as "vandalism" before taking such actions -- and I hope you are not so busy admin-ing wikipedia that it impacts your neutrality and justification in taking actions. You can call it a content dispute etc, but "vandalism" it surely is not because (1) I *have* been discussing the contentious point (of that article) on the talk page, (2) the consensus on that talk page is *on my side* (I have given links towards the end of my post on the talk page of previous archived discussions where exactly my argument was decided upon by ~10 other editors), and (3) it is User:TopGun and not me who has been reverting (vandalizing?) blatantly and making edits contrary to the consensus on the very same point that has been made thrice on that same article's talk page within the past 12 months already. Just because I prefer not to create a fancy username/login on wikipedia (anonymous and free editing by all is supposedly one of the goals and USPs of wikipedia -- at least that's what I heard Jimmy Wales say in the New Delhi conference last month) and Hassan happens to have one (albeit one that he changes frequently), I'm blindly assumed to be one doing "vandalism"?! 202.3.77.183 ( talk) 22:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Although all the editors he's calling might have once been editing the article, I think just calling the editors of his choice at such level amounts to canvassing. Can you tell me if it is still in the limits and take action if not.

I have dePROD'd WKIP-FM as the station does exist. The FCC website is being cranky as they are moving from an old system to a more updated system, so sometimes you have to actually search for "WKIP-FM" instead of just "WKIP" in the FM database. Damned annoying, but I hope they get that kink worked out. Anywho, this is the license for WKIP-FM. Let me know if you have any others PROD'd and I will give those a second look to see if they are saveable. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:48, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
Looks like we were all trying to post on this at the same time. I left my objection to your PROD request on the WKIP-FM talk page. This station falls perfectly within the boundaries of what we at WikiProject Radio Stations are trying to accomplish. Makes absolutely no sense to delete this article. If this one went, due to the reason you suggest, that would mean we'd have to get rid of about 80% of the radio station articles on Wikipedia. Kinda foolish, don't you think? I won't remove the PROD template just yet, so as to give others the chance to take a look at it.

Hi, why the deletion? I know the show only has one season as of now, but it's just a redirect, and doesn't hurt. I use these redirects all the time, as it's faster to type than "List of Terra Nova episodes" or whatever.

Dear Fastily, you have deleted the article about American silent movie "Silent Life". I think it is notable enough to be in wikipedia Reasons: 1) Almost all films with Isabella Rossellini are in wiki, why excemption for this movie? 2) BBC mentioned this movie in its article stating that there are quite few modern silent movies. 3) The film is co-produced by notorius Hollywood Forever Cemetery 4) The movie press release was reprinted by more then 1000 web-sites, including Yahoo and Bloomberg 5) It is one of few modern full length silent movies, and moreover, it is in color 6) Milla Jovovich mom -Galina Jovovich plays there 7) The shooting took place in a range of notorious Hollywood locations 8) The movie is commemorated to 100th aniversary of Hollywood 9) The movie is based on the life of one of the first Hollywood stars.

Hello Fastily,
Thank you for enabling rollback right for me. I have been reverting disruptive editing and have seen some ugly cases of vandalism (just thinking why people want to do that & what they gain from that). I have read about the "three-revert rule" in which the first sentence states "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period". My question is that if I see a page being constantly vandalized by disruptive editing, can I not perform more than 3 reverts on that page? Can it make me a blocked user?

Greetings. I am a new contributor who was having trouble navigating the copyright tags, apologies. I believe that this image qualifies for inclusion under the non-free use rationale and would like to reload it or reinstate it so that I can include appropriate copyright information. It is a collage of two screenshots and is used for purposes of critical commentary and illustration in an educational article about the entity represented by the image. The image illustrates content that is referenced in the article, and shows the breadth of this free and educational world heritage site knowledge base. As a web page, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the web page would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
Please advise me on how to proceed, and many thanks in advance for your assistance and tolerance.

Hi Fastily,
My name is Matus Valent, I am well known, international magazine fitness cover model from Slovakia living currently in Los Angeles. I had my Wikipedia profile for few years but recently I found out it was removed. My friend re-created my profile but it was removed again by You. Now I created my own account and would like to make a nice MATUS VALENT page on Wiki, but am writing you first before I do so. Nothing on my Wiki page was stolen or inaccurate. I have been in over 120 fitness magazines, 18 covers, several national TV commercials and won the Model America 2006 competitions. All my resume and bio is my personal website : www.matusvalent.com , which I plan to use for my Wikipedia profile. Once again this is the Matus Valent writing you. thanks a lot.

Hey Fastily, might I suggest an article that I created (shameless promotion) that might help with these "please stop deleting my page" and "why did you delete my page" posts. It's User:Neutralhomer/WWMAD. What I do is just post it as {{subst:User:Neutralhomer/WWMAD}}~~~~ and it creates the section header and signs it itself, just a copy/paste job.

You have locked the Dean Koontz page in an erroneous state and cited "Persistent Vandalism".
I have contributed heavily to the Koontz page, including the SF and fantasy.. and the erotica. I have collected Koontz for 40 years, and I was around when he was contributing letters and articles to fanzines in the early 1970s. _Everybody_ knew about the erotica; Koontz cited it in many places, including fanzines, letters, and his own books. I have already sent you the Energumen article, _which_Koontz_has_never_denied_, and quotes from _his_own_books_. How many more articles / letters do I have to provide to confirm it????
What is this nonsense about "not convinced"??? By what evidence have you decided that the article is inaccurate? Where does Koontz say he did not write it?? Msauer says he does, but he provides no reference or actual quote from Koontz. I believe you are libelling the late editor of Energumen in such a judgment and demand you confirm the basis of your decision.
Wikipedis is supposedly a repository of fact, irrespective of whether people like the facts. If you are denying the _fact_ of the erotica, on what grounds is that done?

Hello Fastily,
Today I uploaded this image which is in all likelihood non-free. I've noticed that non-free image criteria are very strict, that most images get deleted, & that you're often the one who does so, so I wanted to ask if there's any extra information I need to provide for this one to justify fair use. The subject was an important politician in Croatia 1995-2006, indeed he's the highest-profile politician from recent Croatian history still without a portrait in the English Wikipedia. The reason being, and this is also why it's quite unlikely a free image is obtainable, since he left politics he's totally cut off his public exposure (this is noted & sourced on the description page). The other nine NFCC criteria also seem legit. Anyways, please let me know, thank you!

Ever since he left politics Tomčić seems to have evaporated. He does not want to be in the media, does not want to publicly comment on political events, although journalists call him. "It's hard to switch off from everything. Sometimes it itches me to say something, but for now I am resisting," admits Tomčić.

This was done in an attempt to expand their already large Pittsburgh fan base as well as generate awareness elsewhere.

Kusunose reversed part of the move but didn't do it properly, he didn't move the disambiguation page, didn't fix the hatnote, etc. I had a good faith belief that the move would not be contested, the book is described as "seminal" (cited to two sources). Shouldn't he have taken it to WP:RM if he contested it rather than move war? Or at least have started a discussion on the talk page and wait for opinions before moving it? I would like to move it back as the situation is now broken, then have him (or somebody) start a requested move and present their arguments for evaluation of involved editors.

One 12 December you deleted File talk:Orly.jpg (under G8: Page dependent on a deleted or nonexistent page). However, based on the Google cache of the page, it seems it contained a very important discussion of the legalities surrounding fair use on Wikipedia. G8 does specify that it "excludes any page that is useful to Wikipedia, and in particular deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere", and I think this is the case here. And this is not just Wikipedia. A Google search for John White orly brings that page up as the second hit (this being how I found it). It's also worth noting the comment in the previous deletion logs that it is referenced in article talk pages, and deletion has broken those references.
As to what to do with it, I'm not too sure. It seems a new image has taken the place of the original now, so the disconnect is even worse. Perhaps the deleted file could be protected? It looks like the replacement is a candidate for speedy deletion itself. - Kieran ( talk) 07:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

The pages that have this tempate currently have five separate navigation templates that all contain the same information, duplicated between those five templates. "Many transclusions" is not a failure to meet the speedy deletion criteria, but duplication of function is such a criterion. WP:TFD says of candidates that meet the speedy deletion criteria that they should not be listed at that page. So, since it meets the speedy deletion criteria, and therefore should not be listed at WP:TFD, why are you recommending that instead?

1) The deleted article is "International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium". Many WP pages about "certifications" mention it. I've done as much as anyone can to research the company -- the trouble is, there aren't many pages that talk about *who* they are. The one thing I've found what seems to be a beginning, are web pages from a State of Florida website. The site is what a company uses in that state, for business filings.
The reason the article seems important, are several. In the U.S. it seems to be one credential that a candidate is sought my hiring managers, for information security. The Department of Defense and DHS departments require active military and civilian employees to have it, if they are hired for management positions in IT.
How do I go about reading the deleted content, or creating a new one?
2) I've dabbled with WP editing since 2004, using different User names. (Paranoia about how to deal with privacy and general website security). As I was about to create the article just mentioned I found it had been created, then deleted. By following links from it I determined the need to contact you and to find out what "G8" is, so I did. But I decided to ask you about templates too, when I saw you are an admin. When I read about using a template I must get caught in some sort off recursion type of loop, trying to discern *what* a template is from how to use them. (Search results don't seem perspicuous). An example, of where I've had trouble, is marking an article for deletion. If explaining the mechanics interests you, please do.
Since I don't regularly log-in, I'd appreciate being notified using WP email. Actually, I don't know if it works... Guess I'll make a note that I need to return post-haste. Kernel.package ( talk) 01:29, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

In my poorly titled UCXRGV6DB54TF2G8JXEVEUN862122GD7MRK.jpg upload, the image came from the California State Library. When the upload was tagged, I forwarded 2 emails (to QTRS) from the State Librarian saying that the images were public domain (in that they were created before 1923). The only thing the Library wanted was a "courtesy State Library" statement as part of the image usage. Consequently, I'm at a loss on how to get the image onto the Commons with the permission that the Library supplied. (I do understand, now, how to properly title an image upload.) So I've got two questions: 1. Were the forwarded emails considered? (If not, I'll try another upload.) and 2. If they were considered, what more do I need to get the image onto the Commons?

Hi Fastily. Please would you consider unlocking Melanie Phillips? Editors are already engaged in discussion of the article, both at the talkpage and at BLP/Noticeboard, there have been no breaches of WP:3RR and nobody has asked any of the editors involved in recent reversions to disengage; there was no need to as they had already done that on their own. The last few edits were not related to the contested material at all so there was no escalating situation that protection might control and anticipating problems when this long running dispute has continued quite collaboratively appears to be taking a very significant step without an obvious benefit.

Before it was deleted though, I looked at the history of the page and saw a diff where it seemed like an editor had replaced much/all of the content with the copied text, erasing the previous, possibly legitimate text. I should have checked the history prior to speedy tagging, my mistake. Slashme, a contributor to the article, alerted me of my mistake.

Yes, I do think you made a mistake... but perhaps the image creator's permission to post w/ CC-BY-SA 3.0 wasn't sufficiently clear (I forwarded Oletta's earlier email granting permission to <permissions-en.wikipedia.org> on 12/14/2011).
I've emailed him again a clearer, more specific request for permission, asking him to confirm that he is indeed the creator of the image (including a link to the blog post where his image appears with the caption "Photo by Michael Oletta" and a link to the Wikipedia page where the CC notice & details are spelled out. I've asked him to please reply to both me and to <permissions-en.wikipedia.org>. In the email I included the filename, to assure that when whoever reads his reply at <permissions-en.wikipedia.org> will know for which file it's giving permission.
I'm going to upload the file again under the same filename (assuming Wikipedia allows that) with the same license.

I see you deleted TAS3 page. I ask you to reconsider for the following relevance reasons:
1. TAS3 is a 14M euro research project financed by EU FP7 (do you have policy that considers EU finaced projects irrelevant?). Contract number ICT-216287. Essentially TAS3 is part of European Commission's vision for future internet. 2. TAS3 is part of a broader ecosystem of EU financed projects, including Prime, PrimeLife, and Master. The members of these other projects have need to know about TAS3 and may hit wikipedia rather than TAS3 web site. 3. TAS3 has a broad european audience. Often the audience is not technical and will revert to general information gathering mechanisms, such as wikipedia, to bring up their understanding prior to meetings where they are asked to pronounce on the matter.
TAS3 is documented in several scientific publications as referenced on
http://vds1628.sivit.org/tas3/?page_id=59
I can add these references to the article if it is ressurrected.
Cheers, --Sampo sampo@synergetics.be skype chat: sampo.kellomaki
P.S. I find the Wikipedia "process" quite selfsufficient and dominated by insiders. I have never received a communication about the alteration of the status of TAS3 article. Instead, the oblique critique that causes the article to be deleted is presented in a myriad of author pages I have no knowledge about and am unlikely to encounter. Perhaps that is how Wikipedia wants to run things, but that is not likely to increase my support for Wikipedia. Quite to the contrary: I'll rather contribute to the competition (I know this statement is suicidal to ressurrection of TAS3, but I will bring my argument to the EC when I meet them (doubly suicidal argument, no doubt)).
I'd like to request that images of coins and banknotes deleted from the article Malaysian ringgit be restored. I understand that the images were deleted because of lack of fair-use rationales.

==The YoHo Artist Community, Yonkers, New York== The Yoho Artist community works out of two of the former
Alexander Smith Carpet Mills Historic District buildings, located at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue in
Yonkers, New York. This population of artists and crafters has grown to more than 60 working artists since 2005.
[1] The carpet mill maintained a good reputation and solid success until the end of World War II, when, after a number of employee strikes, the city’s largest employer relocated to
Greenville, Mississippi, where workers were not unionized. In the mid-1950’s the Yonkers plant shut down entirely, leaving a massive complex vacant and an estimated 5,000 workers without jobs.
[3] Many of the carpet mill’s employees had put 40 or more years of their life into this company.
[3] The stronghold along Nepperhan Avenue and the
Saw Mill River, and within the Yonkers community, was suddenly empty.
[3] Beginning of the YoHo Artist Community: In 1983, the loft buildings were listed in the
National Register of Historic Places by the
United States Department of the Interior.
[4] Several years later, Yonkers and Eisenkraft began see the trend of artists moving out of Manhattan and into more affordable work space outside of the city. Therefore, some of the space on the fourth floor was dedicated to be used as artist studios in the early 1990’s, and was given the name YoHo, or “Yonkers’ SoHo.”
[2] As artists sought larger spaces that they could afford, they were attracted to areas like Yonkers, which are within commuting distance to the traditional arts centers in
SoHo and
Chelsea, Manhattan. Some artists and crafters began sparsely occupying Alexander Smith and Sons Carpet Company Mills, as well as other aging buildings in Yonkers, in the early 1990’s.
[5] The community has earned recognition by New York State Senator
Andrea Stewart-Cousins, who deemed April 18, 2009 “YoHo Artist Studios Day.”
[9]. The Mayor of the City of Yonkers,
Phil Amicone, issued a Proclamation recognizing YoHo’s role in the growing artist community by dedicating a day to the community as well.
[10] The YoHo community has expanded since the property’s most recent acquisition in 2005. In the beginning of 2011 the owners started incorporating 25 new spaces that would occupy a fourth floor wing. These new studios sought to add to the original 50+ studios that were already occupied at 540 and 578 Nepperhan Avenue – by this time known to be Southern Westchester’s largest artist community.

Hi, I had submitted an article on Kenn Kweder. The reason stated that it was deleted because it had promotional information and did not comply with Wiki rules on spam / promotional. I used a prior Kenn Kweder template as a starting point to write a legitimate article on this artist. The mistake I made was saving part of the prior template, which was clearly promotional in nature, before finishing all my changes. Otherwise, if I had just saved the template as a sandbox, and then changed it, it would never have been flagged. I spent about two-three hours last night researching and making changes to this article to make it as legitimate as possible in the time available - and plan on further augmenting the article. Further, no offense, but did you even look at my rebuttal to the original speedy deletion notice and/or the changes I made. Apparently not, or you would have realized that the article had been cleaned up. Please place the article back in circulation as it is a legitimate article, or point to reasons other than the original "Promotional" flag, for submitting Kenn Kweder for speedy deletion. BTW, I have been nominated for wiki reviewer in the past and do not make specious claims whatsoever, as you may judge from my wiki page. If you are worried about Kenn Kweder's notability, please note that AllMusic rated Kweder at least as notable as Bootsie Barnes and Shirley Scott - each of whom have wiki pages, Kweder would have been signed to Arista by Clive Davis and was recruited as much as other well-known "New Wave" bands such as Television - except he poured a pitcher of beer on Davis when he went to see him in concert. Kweder is an important and well known part of the late 70s, early 80s renaissance of Philadelphia area music, which culminated in the national exposure of The Hooters, and which some 30 years later should be documented (on wiki preferably) for all audiophiles and lovers of diverse music.

− Hello Fastily; sorry for the delay, but I'm not online at the moment. The picture I uploaded originally had a copyright justification. The painting is not 'blue', but a patented colour using a unique binding method that in the flesh is utterly unlike any other blue you're likely to see. Klein himself patented this invention. This is his most famous conceptual series, and as such should be included on the page about him. Versions of this picture are in museums all over the world, and whilst many still hate these works, they are quite clearly notable. As for wether or not the image is copyrightable, I'm none too sure, but my original justification should be reinstated if it is deemed copyrightable; the work should definitely not be deleted. Anyhow, just a quick reply. Current market value is around $2.7 ( http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=5147475), and examples can be seen at the Tate Modern, London, Pompidou Paris and MOMA New York just for starters.

Hi, Fastily,
I created page called OpenVReg, which is a open source design and pin to pin compatible Power IC design. I think this is significant progress in current IC industry, since most IC company protect each and sue others via patent law. To do so, they need to claim uniq ic design from other, which makes variety of power ICs with similar function on the market. While this OpenVReg is a pin-to-pin compatible power IC design standard, majorly driven by NVIDIA. I am one of the engineers that create this ideas. OpenVReg shares patents across companies, which is so called Open Source design. It is just lunched and have 14 major companies joined. I got some bad ass on the wikepedia saying my page about OpenVReg is advertising, which is not a truth. OpenVReg do not need ads. Companies just adopted if they want to. But I do not know to solve this issue. I want to record my work of OpenVReg on wiki. Do you know how to do to avoid my page being deleted by another hard ass again?

Here is the proof for his notability:

You recently deleted my page Gen Next.It was tagged as an "orphan page" and was "written as an advertisement". I am new to Wikipedia and am trying build my page according to your standards. I consider it a work in progress and have been trying to make appropriate changes over the past months.
Would you please consider reinstating or unlocking my page so i can continue to work from it, or at the very least send me the language so i am not starting from scratch. I'd appreciate any candid feedback you have. I have been trying to make it sound like less of an advertisement by citing specific sources from other online publications, media outlets and Wikipedia articles and removing any "puffery."
Thanks, i look forward to hearing back.

You deleted my page for Philadelphia Premium Outlets after I attempted to defend and improve its existence. I understand that this is not the first deletion, but in no way am I attempting to promote it. For that matter, I see it as a major outlet centre that was taken into account as a competitor when The Shoppes at Sands in Bethlehem was planned and opened. The variety of stores at PPO affected what stores were invited to the Bethlehem centre. Even when the latter is complete, the former will have over four times as many stores. I am from the Lehigh Valley and I intend to post and edit Pennsylvania articles in an objective sense. How many viewers who know about PPO are wondering why no page exists for such a sizable retail centre meanwhile? Heff01 ( talk) 16:00, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Hey Fastily, apparently when I had contested an image which apparently was taken from a website (the uploader was an admin), I told him that the image he uploaded was copied and I told him that it was a blatant violation of Wikipedia policy, but his reply was :This is standard practice and completely permissible.

Your edits such as this are in error. When a work is a derivative, it means there are at least two authors' rights that must be respected. Fair use (or here, compliance with NFCC) for the depicted 3D work of art does not entitle you to use any photographer's image of that art. A reuser must ALSO comply with that photographer's license; failure to do so is copyright infringement. Similarly, if the derivative author does not freely license their rights, then we have TWO nonfree levels of content to worry about and so must satisfy NFCC for both the depicted work and the derivative image of it. So you need to stop removing the derivative license information in violation of the derivative author's rights. postdlf ( talk) 18:23, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Hope you are in your good health, well i created a page Babar Malik but due to some biased people like Ehsan Sehgal it was deleted by you, Dear you are an administrator and you know better about the content of the article and references i provided on it, well Fastily Babar Malik is well known journalist and i have provided some sound sources like http://www.spourtsencounter.com/list-of-authors and http://www.sportsencounter.com/author/babar-malik where u can see the stories written by him... you can see the http://www.ifex.org/pakistan/2007/08/24/intelligence_officers_kidnap_and/ and http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2007%5C08%5C25%5Cstory_25-8-2007_pg7_25 which make him notable because these stories are about Babar Malik kidnapping by agencies.. you can also read the article http://issuu.com/thefinancialdaily/docs/thefinancialdaily-epaper-23-12-2011?mode=window&pageNumber=10 see the credit line on Sports page and also see the last para of the article where it is included that Babar Malik is well known journalist from Islamabad and working with some News Channels... Fastily did u notice on the page discussion that only the person Ehsan Sehgal was trying to make it controversial even he lives in Holland and he doesnt know about Pakistani journalist community.. did u notice that he also tried to delete some of references from Babar Malik and tried to make it controversial bcoz he knows the rules of page deletion and he add some wrong info at the time when i cant sit on net to change it... please Fastily its my heartly request to u kindly undelete my article Babar Malik, you can see his reports with news channel logos on youtube... just search Babar Malik on google and you will see alot about him while he was working on ARY News and in News One as well... you can also see his official page on facebook http://www.facebook.com/babarmaliks
i think these references are enough for someone to be a notable and these are sound proof about him. kindly return my article back

You recently deleted our new page for Canadian Linen and Uniform because you said it was too promotional. I would argue that everything included on the page was factual and can be substantiated. I would challenge you to find something in the article that could not. As it is, I think it provides a good foundation of information about what our company does and our history. There is very little product or competitive information included. The fact is, we are the largest company of our kind in Canada, and in the top 10 in North America. Please reconsider your decision to delete, or provide specific examples of what needs to be changed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsaukko ( talk • contribs) 18:46, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Dear whomever deleted deleted my Mark Kelner page.
While it was never my intention to create a promotional/advertising site using Wikipedia as a platform, I can understand your point of view concerning the protection of Wikipedia's rules and protocols. I believe that while the biography I created for "Mark Kelner" is important for people to know about and utilize as a reference resource, I also feel that I might have overdone it in posting too many links to articles and texts, which in hindsight, feels like a sort of a commercial. This was never my hope.
Academically speaking, I'm unsure of why the article was removed. I would like it noted that Mr. Kelner is doing good and interesting work in the field of cultural diplomacy with Russia (at the institutional level!) and his writing is both humorous and insightful about the subject. He is also an instrumental figure in the recent resurgence of post War Russian/Soviet art, not only as a dealer, but also as a researcher.
Perhaps with your guidance, my entry concerning his bio can be amended and back online, as I least feel, that his visibility on Wikipedia is well deserved and the public deserves to know about him. Would you be willing to work with me on this?
Many thanks, in advance, for your time and consideration.
Very sincerely,

I've blocked the bot indefinitely until you have actually fixed its interaction with {{bots|deny= }}.
This was brought to your attention before - User talk:Fastily/Archive 5#Fbot issue, maybe minor - and you stated at the time that the bot "will now" recognize the template.
Based on this - [95] [96] - it looks like the issue was not actually addressed.
Please fix the 'bot in its entirety - that is so that none of its functions will be applied to any page where the "deny" template is present - before you unblock it.

Hello,
I created the book's Wikipedia page a couple of weeks ago, and then noticed that it had become flagged as not meeting the legitimacy guidelines for books on here. I then DID edit the article, citing numerous book reviews and other external links to meet the requirements. I also uploaded a photo of the book cover (which I petitioned for image approval and it was granted), but I have not yet learned how to insert this file onto the page.
I did not realize that I had to delete the flagging message after I made the proper adjustments to the article. It was deleted while I was away on my Christmas vacation. I'm a college student interning for the publishing company that is marketing the book, and this article took me hours to make (I had no prior Wikipedia experience).
What do I do from here?

On the 27th my page Tony Samara was deleted and without further justification, the only reason given to its deletion was "Unambiguous advertising or promotion".

Your automated no source tagging has problems. You appear to be tagging any image where the "source" field is empty on the information box. However, in a number of cases source information exists elsewhere one page. For example, the image was uploaded by the apparent photographer as indicated by tags like: "I, the author of this work, hereby release...". Or in other cases, the source information is part of the description. A human being could notice such statement, but it appears that your approach is tagging everything with a blank source line.

Hi! There is no need for a source when something is not eligible for copyright like this one File:ZENlogo.png. And File:Univac20040113 300px.jpg was uploaded by User:Optim and it says "Photographed by Optim". So I think it is safe to asume that "Optim" = "User:Optim". -- MGA73 ( talk) 13:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
It looks like you've also tagged the court seals for dozens of U.S. federal courts, which are (at minimum) public domain as works of the federal government. But as these consist of nothing but a circle of text surrounding the seal of the U.S. government, they often vary from one another only in the printed name of the court such that none of them would even be independently copyrightable. Lacking the url of the court's website as the source is thus a mere technicality.
Such easily fixable issues (though time-consuming), combined with the issues noted above by MGA73 where the image is not even copyrightable regardless of its source, or the source information is there but just not in the right template line (often because the image was uploaded years before that template was created and then applied by automated edit), make me think that mass bot tagging is not an appropriate way of handling this. Has there been a discussion on this, whether pro or con?
While it is true of course that all files should have source information, the problem I have is with how this is being addressed. We now have a week to fix hundreds of images lest they be deleted, a week that is further a holiday period in much of the world, and without any discrimination between those images that are completely suspect and those that are readily sourceable or just have technical issues in the template wording, many of which were uploaded many years ago. This tagging was performed with an opaque edit summary ("nsd"), and without posting a notice on any of the article talk pages that use those images or even notifying the uploader. postdlf ( talk) 15:52, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi there,
The reason I tried to create the Zevia page is because this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zevia_Cola currently exists on Wikipedia which contains out-dated information about the company, products and stevia (I work for Zevia). I really do not see how the Zevia Cola page is any different than the page I created. I completey understand that this may seem like advertising, and not really pertain to an encyclopedia so shouldn't the Zevia Cola page be deleted as well. I would rather it be deleted than have false information about the company be out there. Someone else in the company already tried to edit the Zevia Cola page, but the edits were not accepted as well.
Appreciate your feedback.

I didn't understand about possible advertising content of my 3 Minutes World Silence Logo.jpg
The cards and bookmarks I mention are printed and paid for by myself, distributed in letters to people I write to, and handed to local libraries, etc.. who always are pleased to have a few on their counters during December each year, in case anyone wants to take one.
My concept for a 3 Minutes World Silence stemmed from a silent peace vigil I went to in 1983. When I heard the local GPO clock strike eleven o'clock, and all the strangers there with me linked hands, I thought it would be wonderful if the whole world could share a time of togetherness and compassion for a few minutes each year.

Hi Fastily,
As a card-carrying deletionist, I have no problem with speedy deletions in general for ad pages, but as I recall, Gift of the Givers was in no way an ad page! It was a page about an organisation that has been featured in BBC documentaries, newspaper articles, etc. Definitely a notable topic, and if there was a bit of fluff about the founder's motivations, that was not cause for a speedy deletion - rather a maintenance template! Can you please put the old text of the page somewhere under my user page hierarchy so that I can review and improve it?
