You did play a huge role in me becoming an admin, and I will never forget everything you did for me. Thank you for your continued support and confidence: it really means a lot to me (oh, and as of the last 4th July, it was my fourth admin anniversary!). Best.

Now my question is: Did I carry out that request for a deletion correctly? Soloman212 + tortoise (talk) 4:21 pm, Today (UTC−5) 16:10, 10 July 2011 (UTC) Dispositio Achillea Your deletion of Dispositio Achillea seems to have been a mistake. Neither of the reasons for deletions given appears to be applicable. It is not a dictionary definition of anything (making it a candidate for Wiktionary) or the original text of a source (making it a candidate for Wikisource) but an article about a mediaeval document of obvious historical significance. Nor was it in a foreign language: the Google cache shows that it was in English. I don't personally care for machine-translations, if that was an issue, but this does not appear to have been one, at least not in its final state. I suggest that you undelete it. If you were to apologize to the user who made the translation from the German, User talk:HansM, it would probably not go unappreciated. --Hegvald (talk) 10:31, 11 July 2011 (UTC) The Bugle: Issue LXIV, June 2011 Your Military History Newsletter Project news: From the editors; medal recipients; contest results Articles: The month's featured and A-class Milhist content Book reviews: Nick-D looks at Finland and Spitfires Op-ed: Fifelfoo and hunting for plagiarism To receive this newsletter on your talk page, join the project or sign up here.

I'm somewhat confused about your actions regarding the user linked above. I'd taken a look at their situation earlier today with Checkuser, and while the IP address they've recently been using is blocked, it is an anonymous only block that should not be affecting them. IP Block Exemptions are only given on an as-needed basis, so I'm not sure why you chose to grant one after I noted that on the user's talk page. I haven't removed the flag, but I was hoping to get a reply from the user to pinpoint what the problem was - it should not be a block.

If ncbi papers don't establish validity, I don't know what does. Although the page was sparse, I was going to add more information. Please respond with what makes proper notability, or I will recreate the page. Given that it was up for only 1 day, I feel that not enough discussion (not at all really) went into the deletion of this article. --Pyrogen53 (talk) 15:06, 29 July 2011 (UTC) MAMEhub I note that you deleted MAMEhub under the A7 criteria; please note that A7 does not cover software, and a series of web server programs are clearly software.

There is a Wikipedia link about his latest movie 'Moksha (2011 film)' in which he is cast as the male lead. I was in the process of editing but it was deleted after my second edit.

The reason I am here is because I am in a little dispute with one of my adoptees, User:Ace10000. He has refused to come back editing because I reverted two of his article edits as good faith. On this talkpage diff, [1], he gives me a rather violent message threatening to make one of his websites bigger than Wikipedia(?) and forgot to sign. So, I thought I'd get an uninvolved admin to come and have a look. WP:THREAT may be at stake here so I thought it best to get someone. Also, it would be a real shame if he got blocked because my previous adoptee vanished and I wouldn't like another one going.

This was and still is a performance art group, and we registered it as a company, in a sarcastic gesture: Performance Art has always been considered something resisting commodification and the logic of the market. We registered it to show that it risks such a danger. What we are doing is much more similar to an NGO than a company and it is not fair to be treated as one! We made this wikipage to record part of the history of newly emerging contemporary art of Iran. Performance Art Company is a contradiction in terms, nobody lives by being a performance artist, particularly in Iran. As an art group, I think we deserve to have a wiki-page: a glance at our previous events and achievements reflected in our website will prove this. This can be a great chance for artists marginalized by the crazy regulations of Iranian government, to somehow record their art history! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Behpoor (talk • contribs) 20:27, 26 September 2011 (UTC) why have you deleted my page?: Understanding Managed futures: There was no promotion, it was objective and well referenced and linked.

Having spent a fair amount of time trying to sort out the RM here, I was pretty hacked off on finding that it had been moved again, without so much as a by-your-leave; I’m also annoyed that when I queried it, that was ignored too, and the page moves continued regardless. Anyway, you can read more about it here. Moonraker12 (talk) 21:42, 15 November 2011 (UTC) Fair enough; I came across it today, when the talk page was being moved (and was tagged for CSD). I didn’t notice that you’d already moved the article til later. If what you saw was tagged as uncontroversial, then whoever tagged it is at fault: Where the page was was as a result of the RM, so a further move should have been discussed; it could hardly be described as uncontroversial. I think if a move from Cyrrhus, Syria is desired, then whoever wants it needs to make a case, not just presume it’s OK. Moonraker12 (talk) 22:05, 15 November 2011 (UTC) Tricky: it feels disruptive to say move them back, but if you don’t mind doing that, I’ll put a section on the talk page inviting a discussion, and let it work itself out from there. If there’s a good reason for another move, fair enough, but I don’t like the high-handedness of what’s happened today. Moonraker12 (talk) 22:20, 15 November 2011 (UTC) Just to follow on; there's been a response at the ANI and it's getting discussd there, so I'm content to leave it at that.

EdwardsBot (talk) 07:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC) Specialicious Speedy Block Appeal I am appealing the deletion of the “Specialicious” page, deleted on November 8, 2011, on the grounds of meeting the G11 and A7 Criteria for Speedy Deletion. I will hereby state the following reasons why “Specialicious” should be unblocked so that the page may be restored, without instigating future reasons for speedy deletion and without violating any of the rules and restrictions set forth by Wikipedia’s administrators: 1. In regards to “Criteria for speedy deletion: A7—No indication of importance,” I plan to indicate in detail why the subject in question (company—Specialicious.com) is significant, and the claim’s credibility will be clear and noticeable to readers. The “Specialicious” page will be informative on many levels; it will contain a detailed account of the company’s history, developments and recent changes within the business model, geographic markets which the company serves, past and current competitors, financial history and a list of credible references. 2. In regards to “Criteria for speedy deletion: G11—Unambiguous advertising or promotion,” I plan to completely rewrite the “Specialicious” page in a fundamental manner so that the page can become encyclopedic. In recreating the “Specialicious” page, a neutral point of view will be maintained throughout, and we will avoid overly abundant links and references to autobiographical sources. The page will no longer be exclusively promotional; rather, the page will serve as an educational resource for employees, potential interns and employees, competitors, businesses, clients and customers to find information regarding our mission, history, business model, products, funding and external links. 3. In addition to future adherence to the rules and regulations set forth by Wikipedia’s administrators, I would like to add to this appeal that the original content of the “Specialicious” page was written with insufficient research of Wikipedia’s Criteria for Speedy Deletion and failed to include a detailed account of the subject matter’s history and industrial significance. In recreating the “Specialicious” page, I plan to utilize Wikipedia’s Criteria for Speedy Deletion as a guideline for appropriately necessary content and include said content. Please email me at jacquelineho88@gmail.com if there are any further steps that will be required to take, besides the steps included in this appeal, that will result in the “Specialicious” account being unblocked. Re: IP talk pages It's a certain troll; most of his talk pages have been speedy deleted to deny recognition, although I'll admit the posts from SineBot aren't really that kind of message, although I still stand by by G6'ing of the warned ones.

The creation of this page was led by three reasons : Someone requested the translation on the discussion page of the french article (see the link to see the translation request) I thought I was the suitable person to provide the translation since I work for the Adapted military service (Paris headquarters) Actually, I was given the order by the Brigadier general commanding the Adapted military service, who wanted to see how the unit was described on Wikipedia and asked me how to create the english article, and link the french article to the english article. I just obeyed the order. I'm sorry if my action was unappropriate and would like to ask you what would make this article acceptable : is it a matter of proper categorizing or providing a different writing style ? Respecting the rules and guidelines would help me to fulfill the general's request in cumpliance with the level of quality expected for Wikipedia articles. In advance, I thank you for your help.

Rockin291 (talk) 05:48, 18 December 2011 (UTC) Sorry if I'm mistaken but do correct me if I am; what I was trying to say is that the side bar of default Wikipedia page for any user or non-user should contain links to sister-projects, so that it would be easier to navigate, and that you, sir, being an administrator can modify existing templates for the sidebar to include these links you know, so that the links appears for all who access Wikipedia and sister-project articles and pages. Rockin291 (talk) 01:28, 19 December 2011 (UTC) Please be more careful processing speedy deletions You deleted Matru ki bijlee ka mandola as A7, even though it named a famous director and two famous actors as leads in the movie. Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 02:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC) I wholeheartedly disagree. A7, by its own text, only applies to individuals, animals, organizations, and web content. This is none of those. Even if A7 covered movies (which it doesn't), that would be better for a prod (and even a prod was declined on this article--recreated using different capitalizaion--by another user). A forthcoming film starring famous actors is not something so uncontroversial that it should be deleted without a discussion or a chance for improvement. Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:44, 19 December 2011 (UTC) So you believe that A7 applies to movies, despite its text? I also found two more inappropriate deletions, one of a dormitory and one of a skatepark, that you have deleted under A7 inappropriately in the last two days. Unless something is an individual, animal, organization, or web content, it does not qualify for A7. Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC) Hahaha I don't think Harvard Law School really qualifies me for this.... I'd just tag these sorts of articles for prod instead, and they will be gone soon enough. (I actually think the movie might be able to withstand a PROD, but that's beside the point. Generally if there's a really bad article I'll just prod it.) I think it's better to do a prod so the article creator doesn't get burned instantly (though I'm not really sure prod is that much better) and so there's a window to improve the article. Speedy deletion is only for junk in certain categories that occur in such volume that it wouldn't be possible to go through those processes...

The pages themselves should not be up for deletion but I did notice that they were in the category. Basically, it should only be this page that should be deleted, which should hopefully free up this other page to move into OPQ. Hope I cleared that one up.

There have been hundreds of news articles in the last couples of weeks refering to Seamus, and there were hundred of news articles in 2008 refering to Seamus. The article was written according to Wikipedia's standards. Speedy deletion under the A7 clause in designed for people and entities which have no significance whatsoever. It is not meant for article which may be controversial but have any possible degree of significance. While people may argue about the notability of such an article, it clearly does not meet the A7 deletionstandard listed below. "An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization (for example, a band, club, or company, not including educational institutions),[5] or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability. This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works. This criterion does not apply to species of animals, only to individual animal(s). The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines.[6] The criterion does apply if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible. If the claim's credibility is unclear, you can improve the article yourself, propose deletion, or list the article at articles for deletion."

Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Although I understand your line of thought that Seamus, Mitt Romney's dog is not significant except in context of a single incident in 1983, I don't think that other Wikipedia articles have followed that rule. There is an article for Mary Jo Kopechne, a secretary killed in a car accident of US Senator Edward Kennedy, even though she has no historic significance outside of that accident.

I closed the AFD for Robert Redfern because the page had already been speedy deleted by someone else and further discussion wouldn't have done anything. As for your other question, I've considered it but I probably edit in too many controversial areas for the community to want that. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:03, 24 January 2012 (UTC) Rm1271 Hi there. Did you mean to block Rm1271 (talk · contribs)? Elockid (Talk) 21:10, 27 January 2012 (UTC) I wasn't really following. I think we may have both been trying to handle 86.182.128.140 (talk · contribs) at the same time. When I was checking the pages that 86.182.128.140 was editing, my blocking indicator script indicated that Rm1271 was blocked, so was just wondering.

I was going to link this tree to the article Family tree of Muhammad. I request you to undelete my article and flag it for improvement. I am new to wikipedia therefore i need some encouragement from your side. I challenge to every researcher to debate with me on this particular family tree. I will provide suitable references.(Shahenshahkillz (talk) 12:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)) Talkback Hello, Anthony Bradbury. You have new messages at Cyberpower678's talk page.

This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students. So a few things about the interviews: Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes. Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.) All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so. All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time. The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly. Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead. If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you. Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
