Hi, if you have time could you please take a look at Facebook and post any suggestions you may have at Wikipedia:Peer review/Facebook/archive3? I'd like to get it to WP:FAC soon but first I'd like a copyedit from people who are not involved with the article, and if you have any content suggestions such as what to keep or remove, I would also appreciate that. Thanks! Gary King ( talk) 21:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for removing the tag. ( Red4tribe ( talk) 22:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC))
Hello There,
While I agree with the be bold policy of wikipedia, this material has been heavily disputed over several wikipedia pages. The person in question constantly ignores every other person in an agrument and insists s/he is right. With that, after not conceding the agrument with Dutch Acadie, (which by the way would not be its proper name if it was an actually place, which I assure you it wasn't formally) this person then creates an article with information puts directly almost word for word out of another one, except for the part in the other article which states that all dutch claims to Acadia were paper claims and were abandoned before any actual conquest.
So now i am going to ask what exactly should the reason for deletion should have been and if you can help remove this gibberish or not?- Kirkoconnell ( talk) 22:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
I am going to add that it is the correct name, the book written on it ( http://books.google.com/books?id=w4IBAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA127&lpg=PA127&dq=dutch+conquest+acadie&source=web&ots=zjDvps_VJK&sig=DXCnTg6j4iO8S9nlrxjtckWXIOw&hl=en) calls it Acadie. Not Acadia. The Dutch did occupy two French forts, as the article and reference states, not the entire colony. Just FYI the one above me is twisting the story about me.

I have ahd to rename the Page to Dutch Conquest of Acadie, and it has been tagged for deletion again, could you possibly remove it for me? No one really bothers to listen to what I say. Now they are claiming there is original research, which is of course, an absolute lie. ( Red4tribe ( talk) 03:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC))
Hello, my name is Harrison Johnson and I along with Kyle Vickers are the director's for K2 Productions. You have a topic on here listed as TEX BRONSON, which continually comes up when a search is done through most search engines. I have already received several e-mails from individuals that had done a search for our new film and kept seeing your site on the first page of the results. I would like for you to remove this entry and the Tex Bronson entry so that it will no longer appear on search engine results for our film and lead actor. Thank you.

Hey there Peter, I was just reviewing your edits and at first glance, I have to ask what you expect or want from admin coaching? At first glance, it looks as if you might be a prime candidate just to go ahead and run for adminship! Coaching is IMHO for people who are a little weaker candidates and need help getting experience else where and being seen as an admin. You appear to be well respected, active in several areas, involved with XfD's... So am I missing something? Why do you need coaching? I would be more than happy to review your edits in more detail and possibly nominate you now. (You can see my previous nominations at my talk page.) Balloonman ( talk) 22:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Water/Pedro, go ahead and add your co-noms. Peter, 3 co-noms is about as many as you want, after that it starts to look like your trying to overcome a problem. You might be interested in reading, my essay on how to pass an RfA. Basically what it says is to treat the questions as if you were interviewing for the job. Take them seriously and answer them completely. If you don't know the answer, research it. Balloonman ( talk) 04:53, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I just have to say, you thought there was a chance your RfA would be a snowball fail??? ;-) Balloonman ( talk) 19:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I notice you commented on this. It seems theres actually several similar articles on other characters, which I've added to the afd. Some of these have already had attempts at tidying up, but its been done in a slightly inconsistent way. I've added what I found to the afd. I wondered if you wanted to comment further give the afd has expanded since your original comment. -- BrucePodger ( Lets have a beer) 14:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Good luck... I think you should do fine... just remember to pay attention to it today. If anybody asks you a question, treat it seriously. Give complete answers. If the question is vague, explore the issue in more detail. Balloonman ( talk) 14:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I just replaced the photo of Boehm and Princess Louise which you earlier removed. Although you are certainly correct, that it is not necessary to the article, I would argue than it is of considerable interest and well worth keeping. I'm the one who uploaded that photo, and have a good deal of information on its provenance. The identification of the two persons is rather firm. I'll be happy to go into the details, if you're interested. Tim Ross (talk) 21:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Peter how is it going? I am part of the creative staff of Wilson's Kriminal blog. The biography that you have just deleted pertains to a a fictional character who is from Panamenian nationality and is based on Israel. They guy illustrates in a satirical way the situation of many immigrants in multicultural societies and the show aims to promote Israel in another perspective than the one that is traditionally portrayed on the mainstream media. This approach is being done by 3 latin american students from Communications BA of the IDC Herzliya University situated in Israel, who just feel like showing another facet of the israeli situation without getting any money out of it. Wilson Kriminal, is increasingly becoming well known in the Latin American environment and we are looking forward to open our new website on next Sunday, so feel welcome to visit it and you re going to easily notice that is a serious project. We consider that the inclusion of our character under your platform would be really richful to give the charcater a massive dimension and wider recognition, therefore i urge you to please reconsider the removal of our article and let us post our article. Thanks in advance. Alexis —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexclusive ( talk • contribs) 20:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, could you please indefinitely fully protect this page. This should not be edited by someone else, and I don't think that I'll ever have to change it. I don't want to go to WP:RPP for that. Cenarium (talk) 22:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey there. If the reason was simply "vandalism" I like you would have declined the request. But this is not just "vandalism". 4chan has been quite a trouble lately (if you are unaware it is a free image board where anyone can post requests, and is generally used be trolls). Recently the requests have been to vandalize different wikipedia pages (including my talk page), and on average we usually get about 70-80 IP's respond and help out the troll in their vandalism quest. The only thing to stop the vandalism is to protect the page for a short amount of time and move on, just thought I would let you know in case you come across something like this in the future. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 23:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
There's one little snag with Augusta: her territorial designation. Although the present-day city is now called "Kassel", the electorate/landgraviate was "Hesse-Cassel", although *some* people argue for "Hesse-Kassel" on the basis that is now what the city is called. I say move to "Hesse-Cassel" (Landgrave Frederick II, I believe, move there on the basis of a vote). Charles 16:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Peter, it looks like you deleted my entry for Friendonomics without reading the content changes or talk. I have revised this document based on Ohnoitsjamie concerns and your own. Added content to support importance of friendonomics, the marketing concept, and friendonomics, the hybrid game.

Hi. I don't see why you have classed my article as blatant advertising. Non-encyclopaedic in its current state, maybe, but did you actually read it? It is anything BUT advertising the company! Please advise on how I can create an article about a nationwide UK company and the way it operates without it being classed as an advert. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty99 ( talk • contribs) 11:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I get your point regarding the job advert, although I think you may have taken it out of context! I had put that there as an example of the type of advert that this group of companies uses to recruit. Whilst there are many different company names, the adverts are always the same. I was careful to ensure that the advert example did not include the company name, nor the contact details, or even the location of the job. If it is this part of the article that is contentious, please remove it. Please also remove the link to the company website if required. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty99 ( talk • contribs) 12:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the tip. Does that mean that you are going to undelete it? My work has plenty of non-trivial sources. I do not know where you come from, but in the UK "Companies House" is the government organisation that lists information such as company directors, filed acounts etc. All of the information that I have included with regards to company directors, other interests etc is from there. I cannot link directly as they like you to pay to obtain that information via the web(or go to their offices and get it for free).
I can't imagine that the "ford motor company" article was written in one day, nor by a single person. You have to start somewhere, and if my article is light on content, that's because I haven't finished it yet. Indeed, I went off to make a cup of coffee after saving it, and I was already being told it would be deleted! —Preceding

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/EU and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage. Obviously you are not required to add this to your userpage, however, without this, your status will always be "offline" at HAU. Thanks. Useight ( talk) 17:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for districting you. I’m a sincere contributor of Wikipedia here. I posted the section last week and another user suddenly kept deleting the article today. The user seems obsessively trying to hide any criticism of the singer, even though all the material and news had supported the article. Even CNN had once reported it. I admit that using the “reverting” function is not totally appropriate. Sorry. But I just can’t stand for people who are trying to hide some obvious true just because they think it is not all-positive and something to be proud of. I have some more references here, but I don’t want to be warned again. So I’m leaving them here and let you decide whether the news reports should be shown in the page. For those who are hardcore admirers of someone, it is foolish to ignore the true which may be unpleasant, and it is naive to equate erasing an article on Wikipedia to erasing a real unpleasant history of someone.

Hello, you recently investigated and declined my request for page protection of the article ringmail. Thanks for looking into it but I had a question about your stated reasoning behind that decision: why do you regard a request for protection in response to several years of past anonymous edits as a request for pre-emptive protection? I believe that edits attempting to force a particular POV qualify as vandalism and if so this vandalism by anonymous IPs (and some by registered users too) has been occurring for quite some time, since long before I ever started working on that page.
I mentioned the talk page discussion of modern English vs. Victorian English vs. French scholarship - but that's not a discussion I was involved in, those were discussions that occurred years ago.
If you still think this isn't a case that warrants semi-protection I'm fine with that, I just wanted to make sure you had noticed that this has been going on for years and that I'm just the messenger here. -- ❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 22:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Well what i ment by comments is the responses by other users who poll in to decide whether an article is to be kept or deleted from wikipedia once it is nominated.Where they poll in by saying the keywords as 'Keep' and 'delete'. Only an administrator has the authority to delete those responses.So i thought of sharing my concern with you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enigmatic1986 ( talk • contribs) 01:42, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
that makes sense! i didn't know if i should take it to your talk page but i didn't know if that was appropriate or if the situation was really that serious? i was taking a cue from the other discussions but regardless, i thought i would just try again and whatever admin saw it would see that discussion. thanks again!-- Krushdiva ( talk) 20:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I'm just following up with you regarding the recent dispute over the Catherine Deneuve article. It's been past two days since your two-day discussion proposal; thus, I wanted to inquire as to the next step in this process. IP 70.108.119.24 ( talk) hasn't replied to the response I left several days ago in the article's discussion page, even though it has made several edits in other articles since then (and yes, I realize that someone else could have made those edits under the same IP, but I thought I'd point that out anyway). Also, as far as my response goes in the article's talk page, I hope you were now able to understand my arguments regarding the dispute. I apologize if that response was rather long, but I wanted to make sure that there were no misunderstandings. You stated that you would open a request for comment case if no agreement was reached within that two-day discussion proposal; so, I'm wondering if you still plan on doing that, or what the next step you suggest/plan on taking. If you do decide to open a request for comment case, then please be aware that the two versions disputed are:
AND
By the way, as I stated in the discussion page (which I'll simply copy and paste), I noticed a couple of users edited the article since the last reversion by 70.108.119.24 ( talk), and now the "Career" heading is missing after the first paragraph. The version [4] as of this posting is almost like the version before this whole ordeal began; the exceptions being the first paragraph, along with the "Career" heading missing. The removal of the "Career" heading may have been mistake, given that it was the user Smartissexy ( talk) who made an edit that mirrored that previous version, but added a near-duplicate of the first paragraph. [5] The near-duplicate appeared to look much like the first paragraph that I edited when I was attempting to offer a compromise to this whole ordeal. [6]
Anyway, if you want, you can reply back in your talk page here, as I have it "watched." -- Luke4545 ( talk) 22:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I put up a wiki article about HatedOrLoved.com this is a new social bookmarking site that is as real an relevant as other sites such as Mixx, Digg, and other sites that are listed in Wiki. I was still working the article and did not even get a chance to post the hangon tag prior to you deleting it. I would like to know why this article was deleted and if the way I have posted on your talk page is not correct I apologize but I am new to wiki. I do believe the site in question is certainly valid as an inclusion in the wiki.

Hi Peter. Thanks for updating DYK, was just about to start looking for someone to. I was also doing some tweaking of the hooks and was about to change "that Narciso Bassols as Secretariat of Public Education founded Mexico's first systematic sex education program?" to "that Narciso Bassols founded Mexico's first systematic sex education program while Secretary of Public Education?", which I think flows better (and presumably he was never the entire secretariat!).

Hi Peter - I'm afraid that I've got to object to your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Piha Surf Life Saving Club. You closed the discussion as a merge, and did the merge, despite the fact that all but one of the !votes to merge were made before the article was considerably expanded - an expansion which I intended to continue today. Even as it stands, you ended up "merging" an article of 1700 bytes into one of just 500 - if anything, a reverse merge would have been far more appropriate. Given that the article was still in the process of expansion and had been significantly altered since the original comments to merge (at which time it was only some 600 bytes in length), it would have been far more appropriate to wait until the editors who made those comments had been contacted to see whether theyir opinion on the article had been changed by the recent additions - something which I intended to do after further changes to the article today (which increased the size of the article by another 1200 bytes). Had the two articles remained separate, the one on the surf club would have now been six times the size of the one on the television series and clearly indicated the reasons why it was viable as a separate article. As such, an unmerger is perhaps appropriate. Grutness... wha? 01:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've only just noticed that this longstanding article has recently been deleted - I was not even aware that it had been flagged, as the discussion period and subsequent deletion appears to have been unusually hasty.
The reason given was lack of notability, however this UK based website is a highly regarded and much consulted (and quoted) independent professional music review site with over 68000 google entries, and an Alexa traffic ranking of 79,991. [7] It certainly meets the notability criteria. (I doubt whether the Royal Opera House would bother including any press review on their official website if it were not from a notable and well respected source! [8]) There are also numerous references and links to it in music articles here on Wikipedia. I would suggest that it would be far better to reinstate this page and attempt to improve the article with better citations rather than delete it completely. Jud ( talk) 02:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

On 25 May 2008, you closed the AfD for The Thing About Jane Spring as "delete" ( AfD link). Let me state first that I don't disagree with your closure: the discussion was unanimous, the article was written in a promotional tone, and I'm fairly certain that it contained copyright violations (substantial portions of it seemed to have been copy-pasted without attribution).
Having heard about the book (but never read it), I had bookmarked the AfD several days ago. However, I didn't have the opportunity to return to it until after it had been closed. So, I've written a new article from scratch (I didn't want to use the text of the old one due to the copyright issues), incorporating sources that I found using LexisNexis. The article is located at a subpage of my user page: User:Black Falcon/Sandbox/The Thing About Jane Spring.
Writing about fiction is definitely not my forte, so the draft version may be awkward or problematic in certain spots, but I think it's good enough to qualify for inclusion in the mainspace. While the content of the article is different enough that it is ineligible for speedy deletion under criterion G4, I wanted to check with you before moving it to the mainspace (to get your opinion and as a courtesy notice, since you closed the discussion). What do you think? Thanks, – Black Falcon ( Talk) 03:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I've heard from a couple of my classmates their Wiki articles were deleted, including my group partner who was doing Higher education in the Yukon.

Hello There,
While I agree with the be bold policy of wikipedia, this material has been heavily disputed over several wikipedia pages. The person in question constantly ignores every other person in an agrument and insists s/he is right. With that, after not conceding the agrument with Dutch Acadie, (which by the way would not be its proper name if it was an actually place, which I assure you it wasn't formally) this person then creates an article with information puts directly almost word for word out of another one, except for the part in the other article which states that all dutch claims to Acadia were paper claims and were abandoned before any actual conquest.
So now i am going to ask what exactly should the reason for deletion should have been and if you can help remove this gibberish or not?- Kirkoconnell ( talk) 22:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
I am going to add that it is the correct name, the book written on it ( http://books.google.com/books?id=w4IBAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA127&lpg=PA127&dq=dutch+conquest+acadie&source=web&ots=zjDvps_VJK&sig=DXCnTg6j4iO8S9nlrxjtckWXIOw&hl=en) calls it Acadie. Not Acadia. The Dutch did occupy two French forts, as the article and reference states, not the entire colony. Just FYI the one above me is twisting the story about me.

I notice you commented on this. It seems theres actually several similar articles on other characters, which I've added to the afd. Some of these have already had attempts at tidying up, but its been done in a slightly inconsistent way. I've added what I found to the afd. I wondered if you wanted to comment further give the afd has expanded since your original comment. -- BrucePodger ( Lets have a beer) 14:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I just replaced the photo of Boehm and Princess Louise which you earlier removed. Although you are certainly correct, that it is not necessary to the article, I would argue than it is of considerable interest and well worth keeping. I'm the one who uploaded that photo, and have a good deal of information on its provenance. The identification of the two persons is rather firm. I'll be happy to go into the details, if you're interested. Tim Ross (talk) 21:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Peter how is it going? I am part of the creative staff of Wilson's Kriminal blog. The biography that you have just deleted pertains to a a fictional character who is from Panamenian nationality and is based on Israel. They guy illustrates in a satirical way the situation of many immigrants in multicultural societies and the show aims to promote Israel in another perspective than the one that is traditionally portrayed on the mainstream media. This approach is being done by 3 latin american students from Communications BA of the IDC Herzliya University situated in Israel, who just feel like showing another facet of the israeli situation without getting any money out of it. Wilson Kriminal, is increasingly becoming well known in the Latin American environment and we are looking forward to open our new website on next Sunday, so feel welcome to visit it and you re going to easily notice that is a serious project. We consider that the inclusion of our character under your platform would be really richful to give the charcater a massive dimension and wider recognition, therefore i urge you to please reconsider the removal of our article and let us post our article. Thanks in advance. Alexis —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexclusive ( talk • contribs) 20:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey there. If the reason was simply "vandalism" I like you would have declined the request. But this is not just "vandalism". 4chan has been quite a trouble lately (if you are unaware it is a free image board where anyone can post requests, and is generally used be trolls). Recently the requests have been to vandalize different wikipedia pages (including my talk page), and on average we usually get about 70-80 IP's respond and help out the troll in their vandalism quest. The only thing to stop the vandalism is to protect the page for a short amount of time and move on, just thought I would let you know in case you come across something like this in the future.

There's one little snag with Augusta: her territorial designation. Although the present-day city is now called "Kassel", the electorate/landgraviate was "Hesse-Cassel", although *some* people argue for "Hesse-Kassel" on the basis that is now what the city is called. I say move to "Hesse-Cassel" (Landgrave Frederick II, I believe, move there on the basis of a vote). Charles 16:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I don't see why you have classed my article as blatant advertising. Non-encyclopaedic in its current state, maybe, but did you actually read it? It is anything BUT advertising the company!

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty99 ( talk • contribs) 11:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I get your point regarding the job advert, although I think you may have taken it out of context! I had put that there as an example of the type of advert that this group of companies uses to recruit. Whilst there are many different company names, the adverts are always the same. I was careful to ensure that the advert example did not include the company name, nor the contact details, or even the location of the job. If it is this part of the article that is contentious, please remove it. Please also remove the link to the company website if required. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty99 ( talk • contribs) 12:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the tip. Does that mean that you are going to undelete it? My work has plenty of non-trivial sources. I do not know where you come from, but in the UK "Companies House" is the government organisation that lists information such as company directors, filed acounts etc. All of the information that I have included with regards to company directors, other interests etc is from there. I cannot link directly as they like you to pay to obtain that information via the web(or go to their offices and get it for free).
I can't imagine that the "ford motor company" article was written in one day, nor by a single person. You have to start somewhere, and if my article is light on content, that's because I haven't finished it yet. Indeed, I went off to make a cup of coffee after saving it, and I was already being told it would be deleted! —Preceding

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/EU and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage.

Sorry for districting you. I’m a sincere contributor of Wikipedia here. I posted the section last week and another user suddenly kept deleting the article today. The user seems obsessively trying to hide any criticism of the singer, even though all the material and news had supported the article. Even CNN had once reported it. I admit that using the “reverting” function is not totally appropriate. Sorry. But I just can’t stand for people who are trying to hide some obvious true just because they think it is not all-positive and something to be proud of. I have some more references here, but I don’t want to be warned again. So I’m leaving them here and let you decide whether the news reports should be shown in the page. For those who are hardcore admirers of someone, it is foolish to ignore the true which may be unpleasant, and it is naive to equate erasing an article on Wikipedia to erasing a real unpleasant history of someone.

Hello, you recently investigated and declined my request for page protection of the article ringmail. Thanks for looking into it but I had a question about your stated reasoning behind that decision: why do you regard a request for protection in response to several years of past anonymous edits as a request for pre-emptive protection? I believe that edits attempting to force a particular POV qualify as vandalism and if so this vandalism by anonymous IPs (and some by registered users too) has been occurring for quite some time, since long before I ever started working on that page.
I mentioned the talk page discussion of modern English vs. Victorian English vs. French scholarship - but that's not a discussion I was involved in, those were discussions that occurred years ago.
If you still think this isn't a case that warrants semi-protection I'm fine with that, I just wanted to make sure you had noticed that this has been going on for years and that I'm just the messenger here. -- ❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 22:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I'm just following up with you regarding the recent dispute over the Catherine Deneuve article. It's been past two days since your two-day discussion proposal; thus, I wanted to inquire as to the next step in this process. IP 70.108.119.24 ( talk) hasn't replied to the response I left several days ago in the article's discussion page, even though it has made several edits in other articles since then (and yes, I realize that someone else could have made those edits under the same IP, but I thought I'd point that out anyway). Also, as far as my response goes in the article's talk page, I hope you were now able to understand my arguments regarding the dispute. I apologize if that response was rather long, but I wanted to make sure that there were no misunderstandings. You stated that you would open a request for comment case if no agreement was reached within that two-day discussion proposal; so, I'm wondering if you still plan on doing that, or what the next step you suggest/plan on taking. If you do decide to open a request for comment case, then please be aware that the two versions disputed are:
AND
By the way, as I stated in the discussion page (which I'll simply copy and paste), I noticed a couple of users edited the article since the last reversion by 70.108.119.24 ( talk), and now the "Career" heading is missing after the first paragraph. The version [4] as of this posting is almost like the version before this whole ordeal began; the exceptions being the first paragraph, along with the "Career" heading missing. The removal of the "Career" heading may have been mistake, given that it was the user Smartissexy ( talk) who made an edit that mirrored that previous version, but added a near-duplicate of the first paragraph. [5] The near-duplicate appeared to look much like the first paragraph that I edited when I was attempting to offer a compromise to this whole ordeal. [6]
Anyway, if you want, you can reply back in your talk page here, as I have it "watched." -- Luke4545 ( talk) 22:54, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Peter. Thanks for updating DYK, was just about to start looking for someone to. I was also doing some tweaking of the hooks and was about to change "that Narciso Bassols as Secretariat of Public Education founded Mexico's first systematic sex education program?" to "that Narciso Bassols founded Mexico's first systematic sex education program while Secretary of Public Education?", which I think flows better (and presumably he was never the entire secretariat!). You might want to consider it. Olaf Davis | Talk 09:18, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes sir, that is User:SimpsonsFan08 though under a new start and acting in good faith. He made a request via the Unblock-en-l mailing list. The agreement was to allow him to create a new account and make it publicly know who he is so that it does not appear to be an abusive sock, the account will be closely monitored and blocked quickly if any abuse is found. Let me know if you have any other questions, or would like me to forward you the unblock email. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 17:27, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Peter - I'm afraid that I've got to object to your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Piha Surf Life Saving Club. You closed the discussion as a merge, and did the merge, despite the fact that all but one of the !votes to merge were made before the article was considerably expanded - an expansion which I intended to continue today. Even as it stands, you ended up "merging" an article of 1700 bytes into one of just 500 - if anything, a reverse merge would have been far more appropriate. Given that the article was still in the process of expansion and had been significantly altered since the original comments to merge (at which time it was only some 600 bytes in length), it would have been far more appropriate to wait until the editors who made those comments had been contacted to see whether theyir opinion on the article had been changed by the recent additions - something which I intended to do after further changes to the article today (which increased the size of the article by another 1200 bytes). Had the two articles remained separate, the one on the surf club would have now been six times the size of the one on the television series and clearly indicated the reasons why it was viable as a separate article. As such, an unmerger is perhaps appropriate. Grutness... wha? 01:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

The major issue of recent discussions is choice between:
A. That tell that the falls are on the border of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
B. That claim that the falls are within the jurisdiction of Tamil Nadu.
To the best of my knowledge following editors participated in detailed discussions since around April 20, 2008
Summary of valid citation based responses
9 in favor of A
4 in favor of B
Above include responses to Rfc. The new lead drafted by User:SheffieldSteel has strong consensus based support.
Majority of editors have made sincere and considerable effort to reach the consensus. A minority mostly 2 are opposing with no valid evidence. Please help us to make progress. Naadapriya ( talk) 17:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've only just noticed that this longstanding article has recently been deleted - I was not even aware that it had been flagged, as the discussion period and subsequent deletion appears to have been unusually hasty.
The reason given was lack of notability, however this UK based website is a highly regarded and much consulted (and quoted) independent professional music review site with over 68000 google entries, and an Alexa traffic ranking of 79,991. [7] It certainly meets the notability criteria. (I doubt whether the Royal Opera House would bother including any press review on their official website if it were not from a notable and well respected source! [8]) There are also numerous references and links to it in music articles here on Wikipedia. I would suggest that it would be far better to reinstate this page and attempt to improve the article with better citations rather than delete it completely. Jud ( talk) 02:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

On 25 May 2008, you closed the AfD for The Thing About Jane Spring as "delete" ( AfD link). Let me state first that I don't disagree with your closure: the discussion was unanimous, the article was written in a promotional tone, and I'm fairly certain that it contained copyright violations (substantial portions of it seemed to have been copy-pasted without attribution).
Having heard about the book (but never read it), I had bookmarked the AfD several days ago. However, I didn't have the opportunity to return to it until after it had been closed. So, I've written a new article from scratch (I didn't want to use the text of the old one due to the copyright issues), incorporating sources that I found using LexisNexis. The article is located at a subpage of my user page: User:Black Falcon/Sandbox/The Thing About Jane Spring.
Writing about fiction is definitely not my forte, so the draft version may be awkward or problematic in certain spots, but I think it's good enough to qualify for inclusion in the mainspace. While the content of the article is different enough that it is ineligible for speedy deletion under criterion G4, I wanted to check with you before moving it to the mainspace (to get your opinion and as a courtesy notice, since you closed the discussion). What do you think? Thanks, – Black Falcon ( Talk) 03:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Peter, thanks again for your help with the citations (I came over to the IRC chat and you were the one that helped me). I've heard from a couple of my classmates their Wiki articles were deleted, including my group partner who was doing Higher education in the Yukon. I was wondering what Wiki's policy is on classes doing Wiki projects. I'm also wondering if my Wiki article Higher Education in British Columbia meets Wiki's specs and whether I can expect it to be deleted. I've been saving every edit, but even so just wanted to know if there were things I should be doing to make it less likely to be deleted, at least until after the professor has graded the article!
