Mercantile Football Association

I am the Director Management Services for the Mercantile Football Association and added our association to Wikipedia on the 2.1.2010. Somebody called the Pope has added a last paragraph making untruthful, unfounded and disparaging comments about the Wooroloo Prison Farm football club and the Mercantile football association which I deleted but you have reverted the article back to include his edits. I would like to know why this was done? Thank you. ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbie44 (talk • contribs) 07:41, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

The material is included because it is cited in reliable sources. If you have concerns about the accuracy of the material, you'll need to ask Perth Now, as that is where the material was originally published. Finally, if you have a conflict of interest with a subject, you are highly discouraged from editing articles in that area. TNXMan 15:25, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

why did u delete my article Plisat, search on google there is plenty about them there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PlisPrishtina (talk • contribs) 19:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

The article was deleted because it didn't indicate why the group was notable enough to warrant an article. Please read our info on writing your first article, as that may help. TNXMan 19:11, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Brad Elterman

Hello Tnxman307. I just created this page 2 minutes ago. Wondering if providing link to official Twitter pages of the article subject is inappropriate for Wikipedia...? Thanks. --Scieberking (talk) 19:13, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Generally, one link to an official website is sufficient. Adding links to Twitter site, Myspace pages, Facebook profiles, etc., is overkill. TNXMan 20:57, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Why did you delete my page

I am a massive fan and you only have to google Chris Hughes to see how many people are talking about him. He should be in Wikipedia Theandyharper (talk) 19:58, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Drew Nelson (musician)

You appear to have deleted the page shortly after I just started it, putting an "under construction" notice specifically to avoid a deletion decision until the page had been substantially established. Would you please reinstate the page on this basis. If you had gone through the website referenced, you would see that the individual in question has 5 albums released and a 30-plus professional music career in Canada. Here is the link to his recorded output, where 4 of his five albums are particularized:

http://drewnelson.ca/music.html

He is also an associate of the late and well-respected Canadian blues singer Back Alley John.

Hope my request will be viewed favourably.

Dreadarthur (talk) 00:00, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Restored per your request, but please do try to add some material to it, as it is rather threadbare. If you need any help, just let me know. TNXMan 00:14, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

User:Accantrellband

Hi. You may want to change the block for this user to allow account creation, unless they've been more disruptive than just that non-notable band article. I'd do it, but I prefer not to step on other admin's shoes! Cheers -- Flyguy649 ^talk 21:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Sock question at Smithers, British Columbia

Weird stuff going on at Smithers, British Columbia, and I'd like some clarification if you don't mind. A while back, an editor who was throwing out anti-Semetic rants blanked a section on the Jewish community in Smithers. This editor, SMRyaacresitaenr (talk · contribs), was blocked for vandalism, then you tagged him as a sockpuppet of Webley455 (talk · contribs). I don't doubt he was a sock, but I'm not at all familiar with the original sockmaster, who doesn't appear to have ever been blocked or even warned.

Two more SPAs showed up tonight at the article (which has very few editors, it seems), the editors were 911WasAnInsideJew (talk · contribs) and Mozzul-San (talk · contribs) (which was actually what SMRyanwhatever changed his home page to read [1]). They both appear to be disruptive SPAs, but then Webley455 showed up again and reblanked the setion as a hoax (right after another account added sources).

I'm a bit confused about the whole matter, so I thought I'd come to you and see if since you initially tagged this as coming from Webley455, you could figure out what's going on. I was sure the two SPAs were SMRyanwhatever, but if he's also Webley (who isn't blocked), should they be blocked?

Sorry for the confusion, but thanks in advance for taking a look. Dayewalker (talk) 06:08, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I was originally responding to a ANI report for the first blocks. After reviewing the contributions here, I've blocked the lot of them. I will not be here most of the day, so if there is any review that needs to be done, I have no problem with other admins modifying/lifting the blocks. TNXMan 11:03, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate the help, that's what I figured would happen. It must have just slipped between the cracks, and I couldn't figure out why he was still active if he had blocked socks. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 20:12, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Please stop vandalising this fine institution.

Please stop adding in vandalism to this page . This section has been removed numerous times. This section is puffery and salacious. Why do you continue to vandalize this page. Warning 1. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmb2010 (talk • contribs) 00:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

It's not vandalism if it is attributed to reliable sources, which this is. Please read our info on what vandalism actually is. Furthermore, do not continue to remove sourced information from the page. TNXMan 00:37, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion. G10. Pages that disparage or threaten their subject

G10. Pages that disparage or threaten their subject or some other entity, and serve no other purpose. These "attack pages" may include slander, legal threats, and biographical material about a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced. These pages should be speedily deleted when there is no neutral version in the page history to revert to. Both the page title and page content may be taken into account in assessing an attack. Articles about living people deleted under this criterion should not be restored or recreated by any editor until the biographical article standards are met.

Please remove this section that you have continually reposted for no purpose other than to disparage. Warning 3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmb2010 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

You completely missed the section of that description that says "unsourced". There are two reliable sources for the material and I am in the process of adding more. TNXMan 00:48, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

What is the problem? Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmb2010 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

There is no problem. Wikipedia is a tertiary source that reports material that has been reported in reliable secondary sources. There was coverage in the LA Times about the controversy at Cedars, thus, it warrants mention in the Wikipedia article. TNXMan 01:06, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

There are so many positive contributions this institution has done, why don't you focus on that? Can we find a resolution or are you being paid by someone? I don't understand why the negative when there is so much positive. Please consider removing or explaining yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmb2010 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

There is positive material there (see the sections on the notable doctors as well as the rankings the hospital has achieved). There is also negative material there. You cannot have just one or the other. TNXMan 01:18, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Well I hope you never have someone close to you get cancer, or need a transplant or have a terrible accident or get caught in a natural disaster and need the finest medical care. There are a million other pages you can add controversy to. I really do not understand why you have to target this one. Because this is one of the few good ones that helps people, creates new scientific breakthroughs and SAVES lives. I still hope you might consider this and remove this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmb2010 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. The material is sourced and should stay. TNXMan 01:25, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Again, there are a million other targets for you. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmb2010 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

They're not targets. They're simply encyclopedia articles. TNXMan 01:28, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Then why not target every fine institution? But you didn't. Only this one. Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmb2010 (talk • contribs) 01:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Because I removed a ton of spam (this is a history page, so you can see who has edited the page) once a upon a time and have kept my eye on it ever since. Nothing more sinister than that. TNXMan 01:35, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Leverhulme Park

Hello Tnxman307. Thanks for helping me with my new article! Should I always use capital letters for each word (well, except at, in, of, the, etc...)? Fly by Night (talk) 15:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

No, it's just for proper nouns. Since the park is a location, it should be capitalized. Also, you may want to check out {{cite web}}, as it's really handy for citing web references. Cheers! TNXMan 15:05, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll read that now, thanks. Should I replace every "park" by a "Park" in the article? Fly by Night (talk) 15:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

That's probably a good idea, just to keep it consistent. TNXMan 15:30, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, it's FbN. I tried to use {{cite web}} but got into a bit of trouble. I added the link you added to Leverhulme Park to my new article Queen's Park and edited, but it didn't work. It linked to a Google I-can't-find-it page. Could you help me with the web links on my new article Queen's Park and tell me what you did to make the links work? Thanks in advance. Fly by Night (talk) 17:42, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

deleted article: lab(au)

dear tnxman307, you just deleted my article on lab(au) because of "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion". i can tell you it is definitely no advertising, as i follow the work of lab(au) now several years and am simply confused about the fact that they are not represented in the wikipedia, while many less important artists are. so could you please give me more information why you think that the article should be advertising or promotion? thx t-o upet —Preceding unsigned comment added by T-O UPET (talk • contribs) 17:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Alright. I still don't see why, but well, i'll try to figure out and optimize... T-O UPET

hello tnxman, i've worked on my article and have it now on my user subpage User:T-O UPET/labau - would you be so kind to check if it is ok this time? thx! --T-O UPET (talk) 09:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I've read over the article. It looks better, but there are still issues. Many of the sources you've cited appear to be self-published (i.e. published by the subjects of the article). The references used must be independent third-party reliable sources. There also appear to be some instances of peacock terms. Finally, some of the material appears to be uncited. Be cautious of original research. Keep working at it! TNXMan 12:51, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Alright, thx for your help. I'll improve and tell you again. --T-O UPET (talk) 14:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, again I worked on it. User:T-O UPET/labau - would you be so kind to check again if there is still stuff to work on before publishing? --T-O UPET (talk) 19:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

(outdent) I've tweaked the material some, removing some of peacock terms and formatting some of the text. I would also encourage you to cut back on the number of external links, replacing them with internal Wikipedia links where possible. After that, you should be ready to go. TNXMan 20:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

yeah thx a lot! i've putted external links only, where internal wiki-links were not possible (but still removed some and added some internals, where reasonable). i re-wrote the list of activities in the 'mediaruimte' clause, because it expresses directly 'transdisciplinarity', which is mentioned before (considering that you took it out because of the 'being perceived as...'). if this is still ok and you give your 'yes', i'll publish finally. --T-O UPET (talk) 22:59, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I've moved the page to LAb(au). I also have the page watchlisted so I can keep an eye on it. If you have future questions, just let me know. TNXMan 04:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Litratarianism

Don't take administration/moderation too seriously. Me and my friend had a religion called Litratarianism where we believe most books hold the answers and truth. You recently deleted this saying it was a 'Blatant Hoax'. Before you start deleting pages like a pillock would, maybe contacting the user first, quizzing them about it then you can drop the delete hammer. Me and my friend would like our page back.

exploration summer programs

hi, i saw that you deleted the exploration summer programs page for 'unambiguous advertising'.

i was working on that page last week, trying to get it to conform to wikipedia standards (ie, make it sound less like an advertisement). i first tried citing sources. then i removed entire sections that felt too much like marketing speak. when i looked for the page today, i saw that it had been deleted.

can you explain what specifically on the page fell outside the wikipedia community standards? is there a way to undo its deletion or access what had been posted on the page?

Cnglasser (talk) 19:35, 25 January 2010 (UTC)cnglasser

The page was deleted because it read like a brochure and did not cite any independent reliable sources.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/BlackJack/Archive

Hi Tnxman307, there's is currently a discussion at WT:CRIC relating to the above case. As the blocking admin, it would be useful to have your input. Although the CU confirmed that the accounts used the same IP(s), I for one am not entirely convinced that the use of the accounts conflicts with WP:ILLEGIT and I think this may be because the IP filing the case misrepresented the situtation. For example I looked at the actions of Orrelly Man mentioned in the case and could find nothing abusive or disruptive and have explained as much at WT:CRIC. Further illumination would be welcome if you have time. Thanks, Nev1 (talk) 20:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

After reviewing the SPI case, it was clear that BlackJack had used alternate accounts disingenuously. However, I also reviewed the comments at the Cricket Wikiproject and consensus seems to be that the block could be shortened and the case was not presented to BlackJack the way it should have been. I have no problem with admins who are more familiar with BlackJack altering the block. If there's any more input I can provide, please let me know. TNXMan 20:57, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
