Speedy deletion nomination of 1-877-Jail Fon[edit]

A tag has been placed on 1-877-Jail Fon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Las Vegas shooting[edit]

Hey WildHorsesPulled. Absolutely no disrespect was intended. In fact, I meant to put that in my other list (contributed significantly) and I just put it in the wrong place. I've switched them now. But really, those little lists are meaningless except for me to keep track of my own stuff. Sorry if I offended you at all. After all, none of us these articles, we're all just helping out. :) — Hunter Kahn 00:59, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ken Cage[edit]

A tag has been placed on Ken Cage requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your contributed article, International Recovery Group[edit]

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, International Recovery Group. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - International Recovery & Remarketing Group. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at International Recovery & Remarketing Group - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Nat Gertler (talk) 04:41, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your concerns[edit]

In response to your comments on my talk page, you seem to be working under some false assumptions:

  • I did not delete Ken Cage, nor nominate it for deletion. If you check above this on your own talk page, you will find that someone else made that nomination.
  • I did nominate the IRG page for deletion, because there already was a page for the exact same company, and the IRG article did not seem to add substantial information to it.
  • I did not delete IRG; I do not have that ability, all I can do is tag it for someone else to review. Someone else made the decision to delete.
  • As this talk page shows, you were contacted to inform you of both the tag on Ken Cage and the tag on the IRG article.

If you feel that my tagging of the IRG article was some violation of Wikipedia policies and procedures, you are of course free to take it up with the appropriate authorities. If you have a disagreement with Wikipedia policies and procedures, then I encourage you to get involved in changing those policies and procedures. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:54, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for your civil response to my uncivil inquiry above. I guess my fuming was due to the fact that you placed a speedy deletion warning tag for International Recovery Group which I had nothing to do with. I felt I was being accused of COI (felt that your comments on the talk page of IRG were partially aimed at me), and all I am guilty of is creating an article that I saw info about on Yahoo and did not find in Wiki (Ken Cage). Now that I see that there really seems to be a COI issue that you seem to be on top of, I do apologize for my outburst. WildHorsesPulled (talk) 22:39, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The IRG deletion tag landed on your talk page because the IRG page actually had been the Ken Cage page - someone else had seen it, reworked it and moved it, figuring that it was the company that was important (I expect it was whatever editor was reviewing the speedy delete for Ken Cage.) I didn't manually place the message on your page; I use an automated program for marking speedy deletes, which automatically places that message on the talk page of whoever created that page. I did try to voice my concern over COI as a concern and a request, not as an accusation; I'm sorry if it felt that specific and directed to you. Obviously, there were real COI concerns overall; just as obviously, your Ken Cage work was a coincidence.
Thank you for your apology. I am now trying to decide whether to copy it over to my page or to simply deleted your original message to me. (I try to keep the fact that I'm a jerk very secret.) -Nat Gertler (talk) 23:17, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of 2010 Albuquerque, New Mexico office shooting[edit]

The article 2010 Albuquerque, New Mexico office shooting has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Sadly, not notable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Comment at AfD[edit]

Hi WildHorsesPulled

In this comment at the AfD discussion for the Paul Calello article, you said 'at least three others who voted "keep" are the same ones that voted "delete" along with Bongomatic at some previous recent afd's'. Which three editors are those, and at which AfDs? I'm not disputing your claim, but I'd like to refamiliarize myself with the AfDs. Also, I have replied to your comment there. Bongomatic 04:43, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Well, since you also ask, I did seem to make a mistake; I saw it was your article, that's one, SmartSE was the very first vote (two). I did see DGG (who seems to vote "keep" for everything under the sun), and Kelapstik, who I think I saw on your talk pages as a friend of yours. Still, my mistake, sorry. Since you mention Herman Phaff, though, that is a different story. I think editors voting "keep" there are mostly the same ones who voted like you at recent afd's.
Either way, I think you understand the jist of my comments; does not seem fair. I think I am ready however to put this event behind meWildHorsesPulled (talk) 22:26, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The reason that the Phaff AfD was populated by such familiar names was that it was nominated by a user whose previous bad faith and disruptive actions had attracted an audience of concerned editors. However, the result was totally independent of that audience, which is clearly demonstrated by the opinions of uninvolved admins and editors at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive219#User:Turqoise127.
FWIW, I don't think of DGG as a knee-jerk inclusionist, though where we disagree on specific deletion decisions, it is usually where he suggests a "keep" and I feel opposite (for a possibly different scenario—I haven't opined yet—see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kids for World Health).
In any case, thanks for the reply. Regards, Bongomatic 22:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Sagging (fashion)[edit]

I have rephrased the content there just now to eliminate any possible issue of copyright infringement (although I still wouldn't call it a very extreme copyvio case anyways, since the original source was cited). My primary aim in editing that was to clean up the citation and properly format it, since your edit has a single URL as the citation with no author, title, date, URL retrieval date in the citation. Adding a single URL as the citation is sufficient if you're quickly adding information in a hurry, but the full citation information is always preferable; particularly because if the URL is taken offline or the article you cited removed, there would be no way to verify the information, since it would lead to a "404 not found" error. See WP:CITE for more information about citations. WTF? (talk) 22:51, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Multiple sclerosis pic.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Multiple sclerosis pic.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:53, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree File:Multiple sclerosis pic.jpg[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Multiple sclerosis pic.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --MGA73 (talk) 21:26, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sfan00 IMG[edit]

This edit. Are you referring to me? I've never done any sort of patrol, and the only reason I commented on the complaint was that Sfan's page was still on my watchlist, following my complaint the day before (User talk:Sfan00 IMG#More care required). When you upload copyrighted images like the one from A.D.A.M. Inc, you cut the feet out from under the ground of those of us who are trying to moderate Sfan's over-enthusiasm, because it shows an example of one that he got right – even though I don't believe he knew that. In any case, I'd be obliged if you removed your disparaging comment about me from his talk page. --RexxS (talk) 00:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
