Deletion of redirect

Hi, I noticed you deleted a redirect that I had created, Georgia (U.S. state. I think this was in error, but didn't see it in time to contest the speedy. I actually created that redirect after committing that exact typo while trying to reach Georgia (U.S. state). This seems to me like a pretty feasible error for other users to make, so would you object if I recreated the redirect? Thanks, Meelar (talk) 00:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

• Yes, I would object most strongly. Creating redirects for every possible typo opens up such a mass of possibilities that we could be totally overwhelmed with redirects. I was disgusted to see Nortwest Airways and Unitesd states both kept (see above and these RfDs). Take it to deletion review if you must. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:49, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

I've raised it at Wikipedia:Deletion Review#Georgia (U.S. state. I'm not sure what you mean by "totally overwhelmed with redirects". What is the possible harm? There's no chance of confusion in this case, and they're designed to be invisible or nearly so. Meelar (talk) 01:26, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

• "Totally overwhelmed" - potentially increasing the number of titles in the database by two, three or more. I call that being overwhelmed. And they are not invisible in search lists. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Indian actors, etc.

Hi RHaworth I appreciate your eagerness to make wikipedia clean of unwanted articles. While surfing wikipedia I came across some articles about reality shows which are only created for the promotion of the shows . I am mentioning a few.

• Dadagiri Unlimited
• Dance Bangla Dance
• Mirakkel

and also it has become a promotrional medium of actor actress who have done a single or two regional films. Please give a look at some of the articles. Hope you will co-operate.

• Please go to the Editing tab of your preferences, tick the box beside "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" and obey the prompt when you see it. All the articles you have listed are well-established with multiple editors. These are, to me, signs that the subjects are notable. But if you think different, take them to AfD. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:06, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

3PL

Apologies - I must have been seeing red when I nominated that - (I had seen a lot of jargonese articles that weren't really suitable for more than redirects.)

My personal feeling would be that "third party logistics" could be covered in logistics in one section - it's just "outsourced logistics" - however given all those redirects it probably better for the reader to leave as is. I definately won't be proposing deletion - maybe later if I have time to contribute I might propose a merge (and a cleanup..)

Thanks for spotting that.Mddkpp (talk) 18:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

National Libraries Day

Hi, Noted that the article on National Libraries Day is marked for deletion. Bit surprised as it is a national event backed by a number of renowned national bodies. Can you advise on what would ensure that this item is not deleted? Thanks. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Provide evidence that it is "backed by a number of renowned national bodies" and more importantly, evidence that the mainstream media, newspapers and TV have noticed it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought I did that by linking to the official site...it has a full list of the organisations backing it. Is that not sufficient? Ijclark76 (talk) 12:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Of course not! We want links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Please create your user page and declare your interest. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, so to clarify an official list of national organisations backing it is not sufficient, I need to provide national newspaper coverage as well? Just to be clear on this. How soon is it likely to be taken down as obviously it is this coming week-end and there is unlikely to be any coverage until later in the week? Thanks for your help, just want to ensure that I can address this appropriately. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Correct: newspaper coverage is what I would like to see. When taken down? National Libraries Day is all about encouraging people to read. I suggest you read the prod notice. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. I'll add them when they are published. I take it BBC local news coverage at this stage doesn't count!? Perhaps I have created it too early. Will re-add after the week-end if required. Thanks for your help. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:58, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

Oh I see, didn't spot that I have a week. In that case it really isn't a problem and should be fine. Thanks again. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Why should BBC local news not count? Put it in - if someone thinks it inappropriate, they will take it out. For example, Nana Afua Antwi thinks the Barking and Dagenham Post is a reliable source. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:09, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

• Well, I did wonder. Wasn't sure how 'important' the source needed to be! I'll amend it at some point today referencing the BBC local news and the Evening Standard. Ijclark76 (talk) 13:18, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

File:Lawshall Swan.JPG

Hi. I have only just started adding photos to my Lawshall pages and have noticed that File:Lawshall Swan.JPG is put forward for deletion. I see it is tagged as "F2. Corrupt or empty image." but wonder what the problem really is so that I can make sure such problems are avoided in the future. Regards Finnish Gas (11:44, 31 January 2012 (UTC)).

• Did you actually read the deletion tag? It says "an image, hosted on Commons, but with tags or information on its English Wikipedia description page that are no longer needed". Surely that is clear enough? You applied a category here on en:, realised your mistake, and applied the tag correctly on the Commons. Your only mistake was that instead of blanking the description here, you should have tagged it {{db-author}} to get it deleted. Incidentally, I consider it a crime to upload geographic images without proper coordinate information. See the gbmapping tag added here (thank goodness for Google Street View!). Geograph would welcome your images - and there they force you to geotag them properly. Incidentally 2: Wikipedians are very verbal people and tend to deprecate articles with too many images. Rather than overload the Lawshall article with even more images, create Commons:Lawshall as an annotated gallery of images of the village. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - sorry to be a pain. Finnish Gas (Finnish Gas 12:16, 31 January 2012 (UTC)).

Harper Adams University College

I did considerable editing to the Harper Adams University College on 14/11/11. Most of this has since been undone, with claims of copyright infringement. But it came from our own website and we chose to have the information repeated on Wikipedia. To make matters worse, it was replaced with an inappropriate reference to one of our competitors (possible vandalism). Is it possible to have it restored as per 14/11/11 please? (Communications Manager, Harper Adams) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaclynGreen (talk • contribs) 12:48, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

• Go to the college's website and, on any page where there is text which you wish to use in the article here, place a clear declaration that the text is released under the CC-by-SA 3.0 licence. Place a statement on talk:Harper Adams University College pointing to that licensing. And with every edit you do using such text, mention in the edit summary that you have copied it. But it is better to let others with no COI write about the college - most of the stuff added on 14/11/11 was too long winded anyway for a Wikipedia article. But if you want to restore it to that state, why ask me? Just do it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Redington (India) Limited

Hello RHaworth, I just now created article Redington (India) Ltd. After writing the article, I decided to move the page to Redington (India) Limited so that acronym for “Ltd” can be avoided. It was then I noticed that “Redington (India) Limited” was created 3 times in Jun 2011 and was deleted every time (A7, G11 & G12). As a result, the name has been blocked from creation. Redington is a public listed company with revenues over $3.4 billion. Since it is listed in two of the biggest stock markets in the world (BSE & NSE), I think there is a clear case for the article to be created and kept. Please review Redington (India) Ltd and should you deem fit, can you please move the page to “Redington (India) Limited”? Many thanks. Cheers AKS (talk) 14:39, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

• As an experienced editor, you should be ashamed of creating an article devoid of links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Expand the article and add some proper references and I will reconsider your request. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:41, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
