[edit] Hans Christian King

Hi there. I'd like to know why this page got deleted so quickly even when I put the hangon tag on it. I was in the process of adding it, and had to answer a call at work. There is a valid body of experience here. I had intended it to look like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Van_Praagh but you yanked it far too quickly for me to build it to that level. I request that it be undeleted so I can improve it to academic standards. user:curtisall 13:37, 13 May 2008 (EST)

[edit] Plastic Ingenuity Help

Last year a good friend of mine and I had a class with a professor that went on and on about a company that he worked with through the university. My friend came on to Wikipedia and noticed the company did not have a page so he started researching it further because it seemed interesting. We then both talked to the prof. outside of class, and got more information. I guess my friend tried to create a wikipedia page for Plastic Ingenuity, but it was deleted within a day because of a lack of significance. He and I looked at what was presented, and we understand that there was a lack of references present, and that the information should have been organized differently. He and I have been working on revisions, and have a great new page in our opinions, so I was just asking you for some advice to make sure it doesnt happen again. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated. Allstar11

[edit] You are clueless

I know Hdayejr and you have no business running your mouth when you only have knowledge of his war with Steve here last summer. You only know that much and nothing more. Makes you look just a bit ignorant. Get lost.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Holderowner (talk • contribs) — Holderowner (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

[edit] Violet Blue & editor KathrynA

From that list of edits it would appear to me that this person *is* the author the article is about - new press mentions are added so regularly that only the author could know about them. I think I am going to watch that article like a hawk, and if you have time, I'd wish you would too. Thanks! --BenBurch (talk) 16:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your speedy action

on the William Wasz article. He's dead, so BLP doesn't strictly apply, but with no reliable sources, lots of derogatory info and dubious notability, the page was still an embarrassment to the project. David in DC (talk) 20:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fan Fiction templating

I was placing the template on certain articles that have some relationship with fan fiction. It is true that some of them are not related 100%. Yet, I beleive that if there is some aspect of the article that could be an interest to the WikiProject Fan Fiction it ought to be tagged as being part of the project. Take Michael Jordan for example. He is part of the WikiProject for baseball, but only spent a year in the minors a baseball player. --Pinkkeith (talk) 21:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mohamed Abdelwahab Abdelfattah

Hello -- you're doing a great job. I was looking today for the article on Mohamed Abdelwahab Abdelfattah, on which I had worked painstakingly for months, and found it entirely missing. After about an hour of searching, I was finally able to determine that you had deleted the article entirely (?) here, without any discussion. This is one of the most prominent Egyptian composers of contemporary classical music under 50, and hence one of the most prominent Arabic or Middle Eastern composers of such music, and, as such, I'd very much appreciate your graciousness in restoring this page so that this individual may be properly documented in our encyclopedia. Thanks so much in advance for this. Badagnani (talk) 02:33, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bodies of Water deletion

I'm not clear on why the Bodies of Water page got deleted. They've been reviewed by the Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, and a bunch of top music blogs (as I noted) -- which I would think would fulfill criterion #1 of the music notability guidelines. In addition, they've released two albums on Secretly Canadian and have one coming out in July (criterion #5). Also, they have "at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable" (Adam Siegel) -- criterion #6. All this stuff was noted in the article. I'm not trying to be a jerk; I understand the need to police this kind of thing, but I think they are as deserving of an article as any of the other Secretly Canadian bands, as most of them already have got.

Hi Orangemike, I've just come back from holiday to find you've deleted a page I wrote years ago about a bar in Melbourne called Bimbo Deluxe. Can I ask why you decided to delete it? Thanks, Matnkat (talk) 13:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Point of Divergence

Nah I don't think so. Omission of the group from the article I don't think takes anything away from what the article is trying to say about a POD. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 14:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah so am I. I even submitted some of my alternate history work to Changing the Times and the Alterante History Wiki. I haven't heard of your friend's group though until I saw that article. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 14:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:User Page Design Center

I see you deleted Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:User Page Design Center as a user request just now. Is that allowable for withdrawn for deletion discussions if others have left comments? I only ask because I contributed an opinion in the discussion before it was deleted. Should it have just been closed as "withdrawn" instead of deleted like that? Metros (talk) 14:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Request review of deletion of Progress Application Partner

This page you deleted today after it was marked for speedy deletion defined a certain kind of software developer for the benefit of similar software developers as well as users of that kind of software. As a resource to netizens, being able to understand the terms and roles involved is important for their own purposes. The page did not advocate any product, company or individuals. It defined the term "Progress Application Partner" as something more specific than simply "independent software vendor" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlucy67 (talk • contribs) 15:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I had never heard of the term "Progress Application Partner" as a type of software developer, and it doesn't appear to be any buzzoword, it appears to be only a company program --Enric Naval (talk) 16:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Moment Theory

Hi there; I know that you have been an admin for longer than I have, and I will defer to your judgement. This user, to whom you gave an {{indefblock}}. is asking for a review. He claims to be only a fan of the band, not a member of it. I have no way of telling, but I have a feeling that he may be telling the truth. Would you care to review? --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 18:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Ordinary Radicals deletion

Hello! Just today we here at my production company have been attempting to post articles on both The Ordinary Radicals as well as Jamie Moffett, the director of the film. The former entry was deleted due to conflict of interest violations as well as being considered promotional material. As the creators of the movie I am unclear as to how we are supposed to post an article without it being considered as such. At the moment we are the most qualified to provide information about it since the movie is currently in production. I realize that I forgot to cite a reference in the first iteration of the article, but as I was attempting to fix this in my User page (User:Chandlervision, I understand the reason for the username ban as it is also the name of my pseudo-company) that was also deleted. We have a fairly strong following of fans that is growing, and if we can provide them with a foundation to edit then we are confident that it will be fleshed out by them, as well as our staff providing the information that the fans cannot. I have read the page and editing guidelines but it's possible I missed some details or nuances. I simply don't see what was wrong with the entry, especially the one for Jamie Moffett who runs the company and would like to be included for context. One other thing to note is that our movie is not, and will not be copywrited, so the infringement seems non-existant. I'd appreciate a response or even suggestions as to how we can avoid breaking the guidelines for a future entry. Thanks for your time! --Stevemotion (talk) 19:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Is it kosher for SportsMaster to be doing this? SportsMaster's Contributions. Scroll down or hit next at this point. He wrote notes on several users boards about the vote over the AD from Cleveland State. It's relatively neutral wording, but these might be people who he has grown to know and work with on certain articles. What do you think? --GoHuskies9904 (talk) 20:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

This is a strange case. This may or may not be the same person. If it is, there's a serious COI issue. If not, he/she sure is a fan of this person. Either way, there's some assertion of notability, but hoo boy, trying to unearth it is a gargantuan task. I'm not de facto against an article, but certainly not this one. Oh, well...it's the weekend.  :) Thanks for all your good work. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:13, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Can I ask why you reverted the page for Tell City, In after I added information about the city. And added the place for what I was going to put about the type of Government and council, the parks and recreation and so forth, other cities pages have those kinds of information, why can't I add that for the city I live in. It wasn't any thing malicious, did you even look at the additions I made or did you just revert it cause I made it. Constitutional congress (talk) 03:54, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bettina Shaw-Lawrence

Have made as many changes as possible to improve the article. However it is difficult for the one writing the article and whose first Wikipedia article it is to pin point all the mistakes. If there is anything missing or if you believe that the article now meets most Wikipedia requirements, I would be most grateful if you could let me know. It would be so nice to be able to delete some of those tags. Regards, Boselawrence (talk) 08:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)Boselawrence

[edit] Richard Stern

Hello, I understand you don't delete pages simply because someone has retired, but surely you can respect the wishes of the subject of the page itself; my professional life and aspirations are being severely threatened by my internet presence and it would mean a great deal to my future to have this page deleted. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazydork (talk • contribs) 14:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Marshall Davis

The assertion was made by Gerald Home, NOT a blogger, but have become notable because of the repetition of Loudon and Kincaid. This 'audit trail' is therefore part of the notability.Flatterworld (talk) 15:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

See articles about other political scandals. Yes, it is indeed encyclopedic to dissect them. The section is about this 'purported link', and therefore requires an explanation of how it became a purported link. Bring it up on the Talk page of the article is you like. Flatterworld (talk) 15:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Richard Stern - History Rewrite?

You stated in my request to have my page deleted that I can't "rewrite history." I would understand that if Jimmy Carter or Madonna tried to delete their page, but I was a D-List youtube account who contributed nothing to the greater consciousness of society, pop culture, science, or even history. If I was ever notable, which is open to discussion, those days are long past and my page is a complete waste of space. In fact, wikipedia should be ashamed to even consider having an entry for such an utter and total nobody. Please reconsider; this has absolutely no effect on you, nor will you remember this in a week, but this sticks with me forever. Thank you.

[edit] Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the quick reply to my question. "citation for personal communication" [2] I have another question about it and I couldn't figure out how to enter it on that page (This is my first day editing). The question is this: If personal experience can't be verified and thus can't be cited (makes sense), then is there a way to remove "needs citation" from the article? It seems a little weird if the information, by nature of its content, can't have a citation - to require one for it. Say, if the New York Times happen to order a DVD from the director and then published a story about it, I could reference that NYT's article, but in fact it was the personal experience of the Times journalist. Which we agree can't be verified. I understand reputation and why people trust some published sources (and not others). But what I'm wondering is how to address this particular situation. Since I happen to know that the statement is true and I would like to help that particular wikipedia article. Thanks again Orangemike.

[edit] Sable Starr

I see you deleted my page just as I was about to add more references. Why did you do that, may I ask? Sable was one of the most popular groupies of the era, far more so than that Connnie Hamzy from Arkansas, who has her own article at Wikipedia. I had another article on an LA glam punk band deleted just because the editor had never heard of them. That's the problem when editors come from other regions and aren't familiar with people who were extremely popular in California, as was Sable. I well remember having seen her around everywhere and the rock magazines were full of her photos. Just type her name in Google and see how often she comes up. Could you explain why you deleted my article? Thanks.jeanne (talk) 05:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I've written few articles about living persons, most of my articles are about medieval women who have been dead for many centuries. IN fact, I have spent much of my time sourcing these historical people from many sources. Perhaps you are biased towards me due to our conflicting political opinions. I have not failed to notice that all the critcism I receive on Wikipedia come from people who have stated their left- wing POV. I, am openly right-wing as can be clearly seen on my User page. I am a right-wing, Monarchist, which is bound to attract hostility from those on the other side of the political divide. I don't think you realise just how notable Sable Starr was seeing as you did not live in Los Angeles at the time as I did, but I really don't care for your insinuations that my articles are poorly-sourced. Have you, perchance, read all my articles?jeanne (talk) 14:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I have it saved on a sub-page of mine, and if he ever does anything notable, I'll add meat and repost it.

[edit] Northwestern University Men's Basketball

Please restore this page. It is of a notable Big Ten basketball team and due to your deletion, it is the only Big Ten men's basketball team to not have a page on Wikipedia. Furthermore, your reason for deletion is inapproriate. The information relating to the team would not be nonsense and if it was nonsense, it would most likely be due to vandalism, in which case deletion would not have been the proper course of action.Eb3686 20:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eb3686 (talk • contribs)

I saw this when looking at the "Men's basketball teams of the Big Ten Conference" bottom section of the Illinois Fighting Illini men's basketball article. Sorry if there's something that I missed along the way, I don't quite know all of the Wikipedia guidelines, but in any case, an article doesn't currently exist for this, and I'm guessing one did at least at some point in the past.

Hey OrangeMike. I see you deleted my files for Improper License. Sorry if i'm uploading things incorrectly, as you can see I'm not a professional. I'm having trouble getting the right license for newspaper sources and articles. There doesn't seem to be a option in the pull down menu for scanned newspaper articles. I have all the info (author/date/article) and its a vaild source. Why can't I upload and cite these articles. Please lend me a small amount of your expertise. I just don't understand how the "fair use" rational and the copyright system works on wiki. The section about that doesn't included scanned newspaper/magazine articles, but rather article covers/pictures from the internet/photography etc. If I wanted to upload a scan of a newspaper or magazine article that is a valid source, how come there is no option for that in the drop down menu? What am I doing wrong here! :) I even include in the text where I found the article, the date and author. I even include that information in the uploaded file name. What else do I need to do! Any help would be great!

[edit] Chris Young (musician)

Why on earth did you tag Chris Young (musician) for possibly not meeting notability? The article makes it pretty clear that he's notable — he's charted three singles on the country charts, released an album on a major label, and he was the winner of Nashville Star, which is a notable talent show. Furthermore, there are plenty of reliable sources, which I will add to the article once I'm awake. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Mercury City (band)

Can I please get some insight on why sight on why this page was deleted. Furthermore, why it was deleted within minutes of the speedy deletion tag. I put credible and proper references and wasn't even given a fair shot to dispute the deletion.(Shick20 (talk) 21:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC))

[edit] ionised bracelets

Glad you agree. I'd also welcome (if it is on your patrol) your comments on the page orgone and your assessment of the situation there. Or message me on my talk page. Thanks. Redheylin (talk) 22:52, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Piece of crap

That's what I thought. It's a legitimate redirect. Dlohcierekim 04:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I see. We already have that. Deleted the duplicate. How I long for the days of less colorful titles. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 04:45, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Apparent Spamming

Mike, I appreciate your keeping an eye on my edits, but I'm not intending to spam. I'm merely trying to create pages on behalf of other people and link them together in order that they can then edit them (and obviously the whole world can, too). If a page is deleted a few minutes after I've added it, they won't have chance! :-) So, what I'm saying is, please don't block me!

Paul

P.S. I'm 1/4 Irish ;-)

Following your comment, "You have created few or no articles on any other topic, nor even edited any unrelated topics. This is often considered indicative of an intention to promote." While this does appear to be true, I have in fact been editing pages anonymously for a long time now (since May 2007), but without creating an account. I created an account because I needed to create new articles. I do not wish to appear to be promoting any company or product; everything I add I intend to be unbiased. If you feel that something is biased, please point it out and I will address it gladly.

[edit] Apparent Spamming 2

Thanks for your note, Orange Mike. I don't know if it was you or someone else, but I've just noticed a formal warning about apparent spamming of Wikipedia. I've only been putting in links to pieces that I think are apposite, and that I believe enhance the Wikipedia project: see, for example, Ronald Hutton's recent fascinating piece about Stonehenge on the "Stonehenge" page; or the equally brilliant piece by Clifford S. L. Davies about the myths surrounding "Tudor" England, on the "Tudor history" page. I don't wish to cause any problems on Wikipedia, and am very happy to discuss anything that you or your colleagues aren't happy about.

[edit] Contesting deletion

I'm sorry but thinking about contesting your A7 deletion of Sarah Nagy, the claims of importance in the article included founding a student film festival. I realise that the article will almost certainly be deleted at AfD as I doubt the person is notable or that the reliable sources to back up a verifiable article exist but I think the user that created the article deserves the chance to answer such arguments and improve the article. Several external links were given in the article such as these showing that the individual has received coverage on some level and all things considered I don't think it was a speedy delete candidate. I'm sorry if there is something I'm missing such as an old AfD, please be assured that no offence is intended. Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 16:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree in so far as I doubt the person is notable but A7 only requires that the article not indicate why they might be notable, in this case I think that was achieved. Whilst starting up a student event is unlikely to lead to the kind of coverage by reliable sources required to meet our inclusion standards it potentially could and there was at least coverage in the local press which there isn't for a lot of similar things. I just think in situations like these it's better to go through the process to ensure that the article cannot be improved and there is a consensus to delete.

[edit] Contesting Fundamental Elements Deletion

Mr. Orange. I am trying to create a page for a band on the rise that has met more than enough of Wikipedias criteria to have "notability" as a musician yet you all keep deleting it, and always say I'm advertising. However, the page consists of absolutely no advertising. It's a variety of facts about a band from St. Louis written by myself or other non-biased authors, I am not a member of the band, and I do not work for them. Some feedback would be nice as to why this page continues to be deleted for reasons that are not relevant.

I apologize for this being at the top, I tried to delete and send to the bottom but it went back to this.

[edit] Ionized bracelet G11 review

Could you review the deletion of Ionized bracelet (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)? I've reviewed my cached copy, and it does not appear to meet the G11 criteria. Specifically, it did not "exclusively promote" the product. The vast majority of the article was critical of the product, calling it a placebo and referring to false advertisement lawsuits. –Gunslinger47 05:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review of the Esperanto article is now underway

Hello, Orangemike! As a member of the Esperanto task force, I thought that you may be interested in the latest development that we are undertaking: a peer review of the Esperanto article. The ultimate goal of this peer review is to prepare the article for candidacy for featured article status, so please be very critical and demanding in your judgment if you are able to participate. Thanks!
