Trellis LMS article

you deleted my article without giving me any way of improving it based on another users false claims about reasons why it should be deleted. Many other articles are currently and have been in far worse violation of wikipedia's requirements, yet they remain untouched. --Shaddyz (talk) 22:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

I listed for deletion an article that contained only a deletion tag and had no edit history. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 22:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
To clarify, I was the one who originally added the speedy tag, and was in the process of replacing it with a PROD tag. However, the article got deleted in the meantime, so my edit ended up re-creating the article, with only the tag. Oli Filth(talk) 22:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Well I do not know who deleted it nor can I access any history. Luckily I copied the contents to a file on my computer. What can be done at this point? --Shaddyz (talk) 23:00, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
This user: Oli Filth seems to be targeting me, he is also trying to remove a logo I uploaded. And why aren't he administrators thoroughly reading the discussion and providing the author with feedback before deleting articles? --Shaddyz (talk) 23:08, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
"Targetting" you? You mean, by nominating the now-orphaned image for deletion?
As for what to do with the article, you could try re-creating it once you've located appropriate sources that demonstrate the subject's notability (see the Wiki policies WP:V, WP:RS, WP:N). Alternatively, you can work on it in your user-space (see WP:UP#SUB) until it's ready to be reintroduced to the article space. Oli Filth(talk) 23:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
The logo you uploaded is listed for deletion for a very simple reason: the page does not say who owns the copyright of that image.
As for deciding whether or not you should recreate the page, may I direct you to Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:Spam.
My article should not have been deleted while articles such as this are acceptable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claroline and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KEWL.nextgen. As for the logo, the page did say copyright 2007-2008 Learning.net, the fact that you are not looking is no reason for deletion, the copyright notice is also listed on the website from where it came. Furthermore, deletion is not the solution, the solution is to solve the issue. --Shaddyz (talk) 23:21, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
OK. My bad. The logo is listed for deletion because it is an orphaned non-free image. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 23:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, well, that brings me back to the beginning that the article should not have been so quickly deleted when the person who tagged it admits that it just needed better sources. And there are hundreds if not thousands of articles here with absolutely no sources that are not being removed. Why not remove them all? --Shaddyz (talk) 23:47, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Not only did the article have no independent sources, it didn't in any way assert the notability of the subject. A Google search revealed practically nothing, indicating that a verifiable assertion of notability would have been hard to achieve.
Incidentally, "similar stuff exists" isn't a justification for an article's existence (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). It's true that the articles you cited above are equally unreferenced, but that's a matter for their respective talk pages. Oli Filth(talk) 23:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I was not justifying my article. My point is to show to you that you have ignored other articles, but insist on removing mine even though I was making much more of an attempt to be factual and unbiased in the article in the intention of informing interested people about the software. I would really appreciate you helping rather than inhibiting my contributions. What benefit do you get from my article being deleted? --Shaddyz (talk) 00:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I noticed the article because Learning management system was on my WP:Watchlist. I nominated it for deletion because I was fairly sure that no verifiable reference for notability would be found. Oli Filth(talk) 00:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
In that case, for the sake of your integrity, you are obligated to request that every other article about a learning management system which does not meet wikipedia requirements be deleted. --Shaddyz (talk) 00:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Not sure if that was tongue-in-cheek, but I'm not obligated to do anything of the sort! (Although I may take a closer look at the two articles you mentioned earlier.) Incidentally, I suggest that any further discussion on the matter should be continued at your talk page rather than here, as I'm sure User:Blanchardb doesn't want his/her talk page bloated with this!

WP:Military History

A tag has been placed on WikiProject Military history/Essays/Declassified documents, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a user page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a regular Wikipedia article rather than a user page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. I, Basketball110, did not place this template on the page. Basketballoneten 18:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

-This is what it said: "This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion. The reason given is: It is a redirect to a user page, user talk page, or talk page from the main/article space. (CSD R2) Speedy concern: It is a redirect to a user page, user talk page, or talk page from the main/article space. (CSD R2)

If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice." So the page meets WP's criteria for speedy deletion. Basketballoneten 18:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

So what's your problem? --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 18:15, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
It just said on the Military page "it is suggested that this template be put on the authors' page," and when I looked at the pages edits, it said you created the page, so I put the template on your page, and that's that. Basketballoneten 18:21, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


Placeholder pages

Hi. You wrote: "Hi. I noticed that in the edit summary of your creation of the Robert Marsham article you stated that you were creating a placeholder article. The article looks like anything but a placeholder to me. However, I just want to tell you that per Wikipedia policy on blank articles, placeholder articles are deleted on sight."

You imply that a placeholder article means a blank article. It doesn't to me; a placeholder both marks the need for something and contains enough to suggest an outline of the need (notability) --- this including the basic facts that are part of the basic notability. I put the man's birth, importance as initiator of a category of natural history study, and a link to the article on that subject, at which (incidentally) the link to him became blue not red. I put in the stub macro, and reckon that this is a justification for the article existing and being allowed to remain until someone has time for his date of death and a concise biography. This isn't blank but is a placeholder because I haven't been able to find any more about him this evening, which is when he has first come to my attention as notable (because he founded phenology). I am not convinced that this is exactly synonymic with the Wiki term "stub" as that seems to persist on some quite long articles. Iph (talk) 19:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Iph

Well, what you posted is a perfectly valid article. I just wanted to point out that it is not what most people would call a "placeholder." --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 06:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

A Little Problem

A user Blofeld of SPECTRE is bothering me. He created an article Ottrott and I put an article for proposed deletion tag on the article and on his talk page, because I believed the article had no purpose. It only said that it was located in France. he removed the whole tag, I told him not to, I told him that I would report it to an admin and he says the following :

"Right and what is an administrator going to do, sack me? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 23:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)" .

This was said by Blofeld of SPECTRE after I told him not to and I told him I would report it to an administrator. I didn't want to revert it and he revert it back, so I thought I might as well tell you.

I hope you deal with this problem seriously. Thank you and have a great day! Warrior4321 00:10, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Blofeld of SPECTRE has created articles like that by the hundreds, all of which are valid stubs. When I do newpage patrol and I see his name, I just ignore his entries. I know they are valid. The tag you used was for a proposed deletion, which means he was within his right to remove it (unlike a speedy deletion tag). If you disagree with the removal of a PROD tag, the next step is to initiate an Article for Deletion discussion. There are three steps to that:
  1. Insert the template {{subst:afd}} in the article.
  2. Start the discussion page with the {{afd2}} template from the template you just inserted.
  3. List the discussion in the AfD log by adding the appropriate {{afd3}} template to it.
  4. Notify the articles creator with the {{adw}} template.
As I can see the article has been expanded quite a bit since you first listed it for deletion, however, I guess that in this situation there is nothing left for you to do but move on to other concerns. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 06:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Frostburg State University Police Department

Hello! Just so you know, I removed the delete tag you placed on Frostburg State University Police Department. Frostburg State University PD is as notable as any other law enforcement agency and is a part of List of law enforcement agencies in Maryland. I know that you put the deletion tag in good faith (as a few have done before you with some of the smaller PD articles that I have created). However, I have been working very digently on Wikiproject Law Enforcement (particularly those agencies in Maryland) as you can see on my list of creations. If you have any questions on the notability or the relevance of this or any other article that I have created feel free to contact me! PS, I apologize for interpreting your redirect as vandalism, I didn't see any reference to it on the Frostburg State University link is why I assumed it to be vandalism. Happy Editing! Sallicio (talk) 23:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Sallicio

Apology accepted. Please be aware that your article may still be marked for an AfD discussion, though, given that it is part of a Wikiproject, I will not initiate the AfD myself. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 23:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Carl S. Bates

Just a friendly heads-up on Carl S. Bates. I removed the speedy request you added 1 minute after the article's creation to give the creator a bit more time to expand the article. It seems this is a typical newbie article, created over many edits, and I'd like to avoid WP:BITE. In my edit summary I said I was going to prod it to give the creator some time to show notability, but they've already added a second ref, so I'm going to hold off on that. After they've had a chance to improve the article a bit, if you still think it needs to go feel free to prod or take to AfD. Thanks! --Fabrictramp (talk) 22:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Simon Lynch

I can understand why the page on Simon Lynch (Contact Center Industry) was posted for speedy deletion. However, why was the reference to Simon Lynch (Contact Center Industry) deleted from the main page for Simon Lynch? Surely, this reference is the same as the other three current references to Simon Lynch?

Image:Quebec and Pierre-Laporte Bridges.jpg

Thanks for uploading this picture. I notice though that it has been tagged as not having an author credit. You did say that it was "self-made" and it seems fairly straight-forward that "self-made" means that you are the photographer. However, if you could confirm that on the page, I'd appreciate it. I plan on creating a cropped version of just the Pierre-Laporte Bridge for the List of longest suspension bridge spans. Thanks. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 08:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I've been away from WP for a while and am currently resurrecting a page about Paul Lewis. Perhaps you could help. How do I change the top (title) to remove the typo in "Ontario". Perhaps that's not even the best title -- there's several Paul Lewises. When I first put up the article about two years ago, there was just this one. Barry Wells (talk) 03:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Just do a page move. Click on move and type the new title where prompted. I would have made the correction myself had I not felt that this person does not pass the guidelines put forth at Wikipedia:Notability.
Because of the nature of the typo, after you perform the page move, you may want to consider going to the redirect page thus created and add {{db-redirtypo}} at the top, to delete an unnecessary redirect page. To get to the redirect page itself (the one with the typo), just type : before its name in the search box. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 03:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I would ask that you please restore my new page about Julio Bermejo. He is a very important person in the world of tequila. I tried to explain in the article, and provided links to some major publications in english that he has appeared in over the last few years. I did not elaborate more on the nature of his business endeavors for fear of the article being deleted as marketing/pr, which it is not.

I respectfully ask that you read one or more of the news article links that I provided and so you can understand that he is definitely important enough to have his own page. I am sure that over time me and other wikipedians can help flesh out more exact details of Julio and update the page accordingly. I feel strongly that it is very important that Julio's significance in the world of tequila appreciation be documented as such.

Thanks for your consideration.

So if you think that site is as important as what you are telling me here, it did not show in the article.

First of all, I am not an admin, though much of what I do in Wikipedia can give the impression that I am one. But the list you deleted from said article should indeed have been deleted, if only on the grounds that it is way too long compared to the rest of the article, and meaningless to non-players. Thank you. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 22:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Dutch Neck Elementary School

Hello, I got your message that I misread the paragraph on cvent. However, I think you should tone down your deletionism , like when you redirected everything on Dutch Neck Elementary School to the West Windsor-Plainsboro school district, and other examples like the ones other people put above my message here. STYROFOAM1994Talk 22:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Uh, yeah, when you tag about 50 articles a day, these things are bound to happen. In the example you just mentioned, on review, I happen to agree with the creator. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 22:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Marc Rudov

I intended to add more info to the Marc Rudov article but you didn't give me any time. In fact, I was in the process of writing more when you left the message. Once I saw the alert for your message I became confused and accidentally deleted the additional info. You're going to have to give me more time. LuisGomez111 (talk) 00:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I've written a few paragraphs on Marc Rudov and I will go no further until you remove the notability tag because I don't want to see my work deleted if Wikipedia decides the Rudov isn't sufficiently notable to deserve and article. The info I've provided thus far should give readers a fairly good idea of who he is and what he stands for. LuisGomez111 (talk) 01:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Julian Price

That sure was a surprise to me that you determined Julian Price was not notable enough within 1 minute of the time I put up the new article. I listed approximately 3 dozen positions he is associated with in large corporations, banks, and insurance companies as well as other large organizations (i.e advisor to the 1939 World's Fair and the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University). I have expanded the article further with his Fortune 500 insurance company information. I'll be working on it the next couple of days and expanding it further, since there is much information on this very large insurance company. The Julian Price Memorial Park was made in his honor with the Price Lake developed on the Blue Ridge Parkway which happens to have the largest campground on the Parkway and is the largest recreational area developed for public use on the Parkway. I believe he is notable and worth an article. --Doug talk 00:35, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Huh? Blanchardb (talk · contribs) tagged it for deletion a minute after you created.[2] I declined to delete the article...[3] Maxim(talk) 00:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, thought you were the same person. Now I see it is two different people. This message was really meant for Blanchardb (talk · contribs). Thanks for removing the delete tag and noticing the notability. BTW, I also wrote the article Julian Price Memorial Park and Moses H. Cone Memorial Park and Moses H. Cone, so that's why I happened to have been familiar with this history. Thanks again.... FYI, I also wrote Folk Art Center which is also on the Blue Ridge Parkway which was selected for DYK today. I'll copy this to Blanchardb.--Doug talk 02:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

FYI, to show the quality of articles I write the following articles were selected today for DYK as a three in one hook: Flat Top Manor, and Moses H. Cone, and Moses H. Cone Memorial Park.--Doug talk 12:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
FYI, today around noon Julian Price Memorial Park and Julian Price was selected as a double DKY. I have recently written an article on Blue Ridge Parkway tunnels that today I self-nominated for a possible DYK. If you have any suggestions or improvements for the article, please feel free to forward. --Doug talk 18:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Bonjour

Bonjour Blanchard. I saw the tags you added to Islamic contributions to Medieval Europe. Could you be more specific about your request to change Islamic to "Arab"? As far as I know, "Arab" refers to an ethnicity, and does not encompass Muslim culture as a whole (northern Africa is not "Arab", neither is Iran, nor Turkey). On the contrary "Islamic" refers to the Muslim realm as a whole. I think "Islamic civilization" is an expression which is extensively used. Would you have more precisions? Regards PHG (talk) 06:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I see that the article has been expanded quite extensively since I tagged it. But the problem is that using the term islamic here gives the impression that these contributions are a direct result of Islam as a religion. Maybe middle Eastern could be a better choice of words. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 12:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Why was the following deleted, it is not vandalism

Why was the new line of text which i originally typed at the following link deleted?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_(disambiguation)

I did not vandalise it. I went to see if there was a Wikipedia page for the Australian camping and adventure superstore and there wasn't so i put something in the Anaconda disambiguation page. See http://www.anaconda.com.au/AboutUs.aspx if you don't believe me. It's not extreme advertising and it's not vandalism. Many stores have wikipedia pages. I ask you kindly if you could please undo your changes and reapply what i originally typed. Also, why did you delete it in the first place, what rules does it even break?

Kind Regards

Re: Francisco Klinger Carvalho

I restored the article to read it, but the subject is indeed non-notable. :-( I'm not sure about the standards for inclusion they have at the Portuguese Wikipedia, so please contact me if you or somebody who speaks PT wants the text of the article. east.718 at 04:07, February 25, 2008

Please Clarify

Hello,

I have posted one of the players who links off of the 1961 Memorial Cup link, Duncan MacDonald. Each time I try to post the information, which is easily verifiable both through the links I updated in the article and via newspapers and more, I get messages saying that I cannot post this, it has no signifigance or that I am now going to be banned? Please clarify this as I don't understand how this is insignifigant considering it is all factual and certainly is a valuable and requested piece of information of that era of hockey in particular. Just so you know, that era of hockey laid the groud work for what is the St. Michaels team today and of many years past since.

I appreciate it.

Regards,

Warning

This is a warning you are in violation of Wikipedia:Three-revert rule for your edits of Bosnian mujahideen‎. Even though we have suspect user:AhmadinV of being a sockpuppet. Please do not continue to revert the page while you are in breach of the 3RR rule. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 21:42, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Believe me, I don't intend to, even after that. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 04:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


Photos

Hey, I put some photos up for The Simpsons, but they're huge.Too big for the page, anyway I can make the photos smaller. That's one of four, see how big it is? Anyway I can make it smaller, or do I have to get new photos and re-upload? Warrior4321talkContribs 01:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Image:Bart simpson.png

I have left a message on the article's talk page.--Quicksilver2008 (talk) 10:10, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I have replied there. In short, the article has way too much promotional-sounding language to be kept. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 10:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:World Tapir Day

Thanks for noticing the page so quickly, but please at least give me a chance to finish adding the first round of information for it before marking it for deletion :) World Tapir Day isn't a joke, it isn't insignificant, and it does play a role in raising the profile of tapir conservation. As such, I believe that it should be included. Captain_Potato 14:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

By your own admission, it isn't insignificant. That's reason enough not to include it in Wikipedia, regardless of all other considerations. Please do not confuse nobility with notability. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 14:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
That's a double negative - I should learn to choose my words better :) I meant that it is significant, in terms of tapir conservation efforts. Captain_Potato 14:29, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that. :-) --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 14:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for that (guess it's a curse of being a native British English speaker (even if I'm in Australia), that we love our double negatives (much to the confusion of the rest of the world...).
