== [[Untitled the musical]] ==

Hi --I was directed to you as a possibility of restoring an article that was taken down. The people who created the article had permission to use the material found on my website for the show I created a few years back, and I emailed wikipedia to ensure that the permission was granted and was not a copyright infringement. Any chance the article can be restored the way it was before it was deleted? Thanks for your help [[User:Jjbalcou|Jjbalcou]] ([[User talk:Jjbalcou|talk]]) 04:24, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:Sure — but what you have to do, according to '''[[Wikipedia:Donating_copyrighted_materials#Granting_us_permission_to_copy_material_already_online|this page]]''' is put a note at the bottom of that page saying that the text on that page is "licensed under the GFDL". I presume the page is [http://www.untitledthemusical.com/synopsis.php]. You'll then be able to copy and paste the content right in after clicking on the [[Untitled the musical]] link. Hope this helps, <b><span style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">[[User:Alex.muller|<font color="#20406F">Alex</font>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Alex.muller|<font color="#20406F">Muller</font>]]</span></b> 07:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:::Whoops, sorry - I wasn't clear.

Hey. I noticed you reverted some vandalism a while ago on [[found poetry]]. First of all, thanks! Second of all, can you add to your watchlist?

== Deleting Puur Design Studio ==

Dear Alex,

I wrote an article on Puur Design Studio. Its a new design studio in Netherlands. I have received a message that it might be deleted since it is promotion of the company. But I have followed other design studio write ups. So I am not sure why it should be deleted. None of the information I have written is incorrect. let me know please.

Cheers

:I've put a copy of the article at [[User:Driptaroy/Puur Design Studio]] for you - this should stop it from getting deleted while you work on it. I believe it was deleted because all those links make it seem like the article was advertising, when perhaps it wasn't.

== Don't ignore me ==

'''Reply to Alex'''

Yes but so did they Alex. Uther completely disregarded what I had said and inserted the hatnotes because he knows they help his cause. I provided my hatnotes in the history and then undid my revisions and stated once a concensous was reached we could add the appropriate hatnotes according to the concensous redirect decided. They tagteamed ownership and together broke the 3RR so why did they not get punished?! I have explained what has happened in my unblock request for you to understand and if you take the time to read you will be able to see this yourself. The strawpoll stuffed everything up just as I knew it would by reading that guideline. Please reply to me and if you cannot then I will have to use the unblock request. Cazique (talk) 16:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

'''Another reply to Alex'''

Well firstly it would be nice if you actually reply to me instead of ignoring me! Just because I point out hard points for people to refute they always ignore me! I hate this with wikipedia and I have now seen this as a recurring pattern among editors and admins. As soon as I say something which is right with editors and admins knowing this, instead of replying to me in reference to the point I make, they simply ignore me or sidetrack with something else! I shouldn't have to wait because I knew this would happen and it shouldn't have happened to begin with. I left a comment on WP:ANI stating that I knew once I made that 4th reversion I would have Uther going to the 3RR board and reporting me so he could act his revenge on me. But this is not fair, together him and Rlendog took ownership over the article and helped each other out by not breaking the 3RR gaming the system. How about I do that next time? Huh! How about I get one of my friends to help me game the system and get Uther blocked like he has done with me! This is BS. I come here to help and get treated like a piece of crap. Cazique (talk) 14:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

:This is about 3RR blocks, so let's just go for that. If you think Uther is in the habit of breaking 3RR - reverting a page more than 3 times in 24 hours - please would you provide a report to [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR]] the next time it happens? I'm not going to get any more involved in this issue that the two of you seem to have. I mean really, is it worth losing your privilege to edit Wikipedia over the name of one redirect of one mammal? <small><b><span style="border:2px solid #20406F;padding:1px 3px;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">[[User talk:Alex.muller|<font color="#20406F">Alex Muller</font>]]</span></b></small> 06:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
::Well done you held true to what I said. Looks like I should game the system too and get Uther blocked for 3RR just as he did. Looks to be the only way things can be fair seeing how no admins give a stuff about this. [[User:Cazique|Cazique]] ([[User talk:Cazique|talk]]) 14:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Help me restore a deleted page? ==

Hello, recently I made a page, Matt Lesser, based on a candidate for Representative and it was tagged for speedy deletion. So i inserted the hang on script and improved the article on the same day it was tagged only to awake to find the page completely deleted by a different user. The page no longer met the specifications of speedy deletion and the hangon script was completely ignored apparently. Nonetheless, I am just here to ask for a copy of the [[Matt Lesser]] page.

== [[Dogma Free America]] ==

I'm trying to layout a case for this podcast's notability in the discussion section. Is there another place to collate that information? I don't want to recreate all that work and have you delete it a second time. [[User:Mindme|Mindme]] ([[User talk:Mindme|talk]]) 13:04, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
:Sure - I put a copy of the article as it was before it was deleted at [[User:Mindme/Dogma Free America]]. You can scrap that and start afresh on that page if you want, or build from it. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Feel free to head there with your opinion that it should be restored, but be sure to know the relevant policies ([[WP:WEB]] and [[WP:N]] are fairly big). Also, the article would be improved if you added links to reliable news stories or articles about it, if any exist.

:::::: The vast majority of podcasts, even those that appear on wiki, don't get much press attention. For example [[skeptoid]] if you search [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enCA275CA275&um=1&tab=wn&q=%22skeptoid%22 google news] has zero main stream media mentions. How did skeptoid pass notability? I feel Wiki is a bit behind the 8 ball if it waits for traditional media to finally recognize what is clearly notable (the large number of notable guests who agree to be on the show), popular (top ten in its category, more reviews that main stream podcasts), and has thousand of online reference. [[User:Mindme|Mindme]] ([[User talk:Mindme|talk]]) 13:09, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

(←) You make an interesting point - and the real way to address this is to try and change the notability criteria - you will, unfortunately, encounter loads of people here who oppose any change just because "it's a change". And that, I really hate... perhaps the Skeptoid article shouldn't be there, but I'm not one to go out of my way to get it removed. In my opinion, that's an example of a time when ignoring the policy/rules/guideline gives a better visitor, user or reader experience. If you can, link to anything that discussing Dogma Free America - as long as they comply with [[WP:EL]], of course (which basically means the links aren't obvious advertising or completely unrelated.

:: Thanks for the effort. In the words of Babylon 5, it's "the podcast's" last best hope. Geez, I'm not even this podcast's #1 fan. I just see a problem with consistency in the podcast sphere and a real hole in the web notability criteria. Lots of history might be lost about podcasts if we wait until dead tree media suddenly becomes aware of podcasts that are clearly notable in their realm. I did as well comment on the group that looking to get notability criteria in place for podcasts but that movement seems dead.

== Please do not delete my page ==

Although the page "Steve Jared" is a bit ridiculus, but It is a bit of an inside joke. I see no reason why to delete it, as no person whould accidentaly look up something so specific. I whould like to re-write it, but if it in danger of being deleted again, then I will not bother. Please send me back to see if you have accepted to let my write it. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Keegan turner-wood|Keegan turner-wood]] ([[User talk:Keegan turner-wood|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Keegan turner-wood|contribs]]) 16:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I'm afraid we have certain [[WP:N|notability]] criteria that pages must obey. I probably wouldn't delete your page again (but only because I wouldn't get there in time). It would most definitely be noticed and deleted by an administrator fairly quickly if it's rewritten the same as it was before.

Revision as of 12:41, 29 June 2008

Note that I'll reply here unless you ask otherwise, and I'll notice any replies if I posted on your talk page. I think it's best to try and keep the conversation intact to improve readability.

Can you tell me what was written on Talk:FK Kožuv that you deleted for vandalism. And please answer me on my talk page. Regards Isavevski (talk) 21:41, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

copy of an article deleted for WESTENDWATCH

Hello, my username is WESTENDWATCH, and I created an article about the company I work for: West End Watch & Co. But because my username was linked to the name of my company, wiki put me on speed deletion for my article and I was asked to change my username because I didn't know the policy about that.

Anyway, now I'm waiting for the approbation of my new username and I woudl like to know if it's possible to get a copy of the article I made because I worked on it for few hours and I would like to keep a copy and I receive a note from Mannafredo telling me that I could contact you or any other admin.

So could you send me a copy of my article about West end watch & Co on my email address : watch-leytronbluewin.ch ? Thanks in advance, waiting for some news from you soon !

OK, I emailed it to you. Hope this helps, Alex Muller 08:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
thanks Alex ! I hope I could put finally this article without troubles with my new username... —Preceding unsigned comment added by WESTENDWATCH (talkcontribs) 11:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem - note that you can also clear all that rubbish off your talk page if you want, and it might be worth reading through WP:COI just to make sure. Cheers, Alex Muller 15:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move

Can you move it please? It doesn't sound English you know. Martin compaq (talk) 17:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Will do - and I left a comment on your talk page at the same time. Cheers :) Alex Muller 17:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect, many thanks! Martin compaq (talk) 17:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Should be all sorted - let me know if there were any problems encountered, or you need help with anything else around here. Cheers, Alex Muller 17:26, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could be this one Rezervuarul_Dubăsari which is not the name in English. And if it is decided to stay in Romanian it should be Rezervorul Dubăsari. Cheers, Martin compaq (talk) 17:29, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather not get into specifics of moving language articles, as I know that can be a tricky business. If you hang on for about another week you'll see a "move" button at the top that you can use. Cheers, Alex Muller 21:07, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Transnistria border customs issue

Please don't move the talk pages, cause they are linked with the articles. It is not correct to move only the talk page of the article, you should rename the article, and renaming a article should move also the talk page. --serhio talk 18:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the problem here - I moved the article, and the associated talk page (and all its subpages). Any chance you can clarify where the mistake was, or how to undo it? Alex Muller 21:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As I can see after logs, you didn't move the article, but the talk page. This is not correct. --serhio talk 05:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I'm still really lost - here is the log, and it has 3 move entries for that page. One for the article, one for the talk page and one for a subpage of the talk page. Are you sure? Alex Muller 06:36, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I see... I think, the page Talk:Transnistrian border customs issues/to do should be removed, cause is not used anywhere after the template {{WPMoldova}} has been changed. --serhio talk 16:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done that for you... let me know if there's anything else :) Alex Muller 16:15, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
