A file deletion dispute

Hi,thanks for deleting two of my speedy deletions and I noticed that you cleared the speedy deletions on many others and I see your reasoning for most of them, however one I do not:

File:British Colonies in North America c1750.png is in fact a duplicate of File:British Colonies in North America c1750 v2.png the latter being the one Wikis are using and the former being the one not in use anywhere. They are in same file format and are duplicates with the only difference being the fact that the numbers are in dark red in the one to be deleted and black in the one to keep. Vadac (talk) 21:08, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Here it is on today's deletion log thank you for supporting the deletion request in the end. I also have nominations here as well if your interested as they are along the same subject and contain ones you stated did not fit speedy deletion criteria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vadac (talk • contribs) 00:54, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Nyttend, just a nod, that you might want to glance at User talk:Vadac#Speedy deletion critera. I hope what I wrote was correct; do let me know if not. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  01:26, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Parking Lot

I've resigned myself to just waiting for a nice day when I'm free. This weekend is probably out, though if the weather is nice I might be in West Chester snapping a few odd photos while with my wife. As far as BPOE No. 2, I probably have a picture of the parking lot somewhere - it is surrounded by interesting buildings; but I might as well wait until I can get a GOOD picture of the parking lot (which won't be that long).

Wylie School entry

Hi. You added Wylie School to the NRHP Windham County list. You should probably note that it is already listed (correctly) in the New London County list. The NRIS and the NRHP nomination form are in error regarding the county as Voluntown is in New London County. It is also not a border thing as the school is a few miles from the border with Sterling. I think the state of Connecticut is a more authoritative source than the NRHP for what county Voluntown belongs to. I'll leave the decision on what to do with this to you. --Polaron | Talk 22:48, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

The given coordinates and address and property size put it wholly within the town Voluntown. There is no question the property exists only in Voluntown. For some reason, however, the writer of the NRHP form used Windham County as the county instead of New London County. Voluntown did use to be a part of Windham County (until 1881) and maybe for the period of significance of the property, Voluntown was in Windham County. I assume our lists are based on the current county to which the town is assigned though. --Polaron | Talk 23:00, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Liam O'Brien (footballer born 1991)

He hasn't played in a professional game. I'm assuming you've mistaken his appearance for Eastbourne as such, but the team plays in the Football Conference, which isn't considered to be a fully professional league. Are you still able to delete or do I have to tag it again? J Mo 101 (talk) 08:25, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Children's Museum pictures

Not really I have never taken a photo for a Wikimedia project, but that's mostly because I don't have a camera. If I can score one for the trip, I would be happy to take photos of whatever is needed. If you really want to make sure I do it, though, you should e-mail me a few days before to remind me. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:35, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Children's Museum Info

Thanks so much for your note. I'm sorry you won't be able to make it up for the Backstage Pass. I wanted to let you know that we will be having another public event with User:Awadewit and User:Witty lama speaking and leading a workshop with IUPUI museum studies students (and other Indianapolis college students.) While it's geared toward new and prospective Wikipedians (specifically museum studies students), we're opening it up to anyone interested in attending. I'd love to meet you and tell you more about my Children's Museum-Wikipedia project. It will be at the Indianapolis Museum of Art on Tuesday night, November 2 from 6-9pm.

I'd be thrilled if you wanted to become a member of my TCMI project and keep your eye on things as we move toward a content donation to Wikimedia and begin collaborating with various WikiProjects. You can see an overview of the project here. It's still in its beginning stages, so there isn't much action on the page yet. Your involvement would warrant me coordinating another time that you could possibly come up to TCMI in the coming months.

As for TCMI images, this is going to be a major component of what I'm organizing there during my project. You can add requests to this section of the project page. (It's easy to miss at the moment because it hasn't been added to yet.) I will be digging up lots of images in the next weeks and can keep my eye out for anything you want!

To answer your question, surprisingly I'm just coming up on my first Wiki-editing anniversary, so I'm relatively new. I've not coordinated any other Wiki-Meet Ups. My involvement at TCMI is as a museum studies grad student who also appreciates Wikipedia. You should certainly connect with User:Awadewit, as she's down in Bloomington and is coordinating the Campus Ambassador program there.

Let me know if you're interested in attending November 2nd and thanks for touching base. HstryQT (talk) 20:46, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

A major component of my project will be meeting with the various departments in TCMI and digging up published research that they have either come across, or that they have created, for their many subject areas and exhibits. I'll be organizing all of this content and presenting links to it on the project page for WikiProjects to more efficiently use. Whenever possible, TCMI will be posting content to their website as cc-by-sa so that it can be used more easily. I will be at TCMI through May, most likely, so there is still time to frame what content (and what forms of content) will be the most useful for Wikipedia. If you have ideas about how this could link to your MLS I'd be happy to brainstorm. HstryQT (talk) 21:53, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll try to take some pics, as you requested! Awadewit (talk) 02:35, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Missouri towns were given the opportunity to reincorporate as cities if they satisfied the population requirements and most did. Any that did not reincorporate were deemed to be villages [1].

Thank you for making the correct reference to the originating photo. What I'm still not clear on is whether "PD-self" is appropriate. I didn't take the picture, all I did was crop it to isolate the area where the retired numbers are.

Deletion of iFlyOnline

Hi,

There was a speedy deletion template placed on the article I created, iFlyOnline. I placed the hangon tag below the CSD template, and posted on the talk page why this page should not be deleted.

Inherited notability?

hwhat?!? says who? Please show me where in our guidelines says it's ok for people to have articles on wp just because they are related to some royalty. Moreover, it seems to me that wp is quite clear there's no inherent notability... Anonimu (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with your position, and I'm going to pursue this to the notability noticeboard. I fail to see how being born in a privileged family gives someone notability. If we were to follow such guidelines, half of WP will be about dead British nobility, but will still exclude countries like Romania and France that have abolished all nobility titles.Anonimu (talk) 19:56, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Highlife (Band) / Sleepy Doug Shaw / Best Bless (Album)

There was a speedy deletion template placed on three articles I created, Highlife (Band) / Sleepy Doug Shaw / Best Bless (Album). These articles pertain to an artist that released his record last week and has been garnering national press. I probably should have been doing these in my 'sandbox' but I was aware of some press that was coming out this week (a three page feature in a NYC based weekly paper and a lead review at a major indie music website). As the artist is playing festivals over the next few months I wanted to start these wiki's in order to provide accurate information. I apologize for not getting my citations in order quickly enough but as he performs under various names in a few internationally know bands (including a few with thorough wiki entries) I wanted to get a jump start on differentiating the different projects/roles as people begin to look for information. Can you post these to my user account so that I can finish them and repost? Thanks. ^(TALK)

Files that I tagged

Hello, Nyttend. I see that you have declined several of the files that I tagged for deletion presuming that the source for them was sufficient. I do not believe that this is so; I’ve checked the sources and made a note in my edit summary stating that the references were in fact . As the purpose of having a source in the image description is to verify the copyright status of said image, if I am unable to access the source, then I am unable to access information on the copyright. Having sources that no longer exist is, in my opinion, akin to having no sources at all. Could I ask that you please restore the deletion tags I placed on the files? I await your response on this matter. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 23:35, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Gary Fitzgerald

You undid the speedy deletion for this article on notability grounds on the basis that he is a leader of a political party.

He is not, he was a candidate for Local Council elections (of which there were 753 seats for all the councils), with several candidates per seat.

He therefore does not meet the notability requirement for a politician. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.230.154 (talk) 01:21, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nyttend - "Rick DePiro (aka Ricky Dee) article question and apology to you

Hi Nyttend!

First, I want to apologize for the move that put my Rick DePiro (aka Ricky Dee) article in the mainspace of Wikipedia before it's final and hopeful "ok" review was completed.. I noticed that somehow I had the title in the Article "review" page doubled and I was trying to get it to just have one title -- so when I moved it, I thought it would just fix the title and STILL be finally reviewed -- Im SO sorry to have bothered you and Wikipedia with this -- Is it still ok to have it in the review space so I can hope for a final OK -- Mr DePiro is a worthy Artist and I dont want my VERY first article to cause any problems for any of you at Wikipedia!

Thank you very much!

--A&RBoss (talk) 03:58, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nyttend!

Thanks for your quick response!

There was a page entitled Rick DePiro (aka Ricky Dee) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_DePiro_%28aka_Ricky_Dee%29) -- that you deleted recently because it shouldn't have been moved to the Wikipedia mainspace -- that was my error in moving it -- the page up for final review i was trying to just fix the title on (because it reads:Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Rick DePiro (aka Ricky Dee) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Rick_DePiro_%28aka_Ricky_Dee%29) This is the actual article I am waiting for it's (hopefully) final review and "ok".

I just wanted to apologize for the "final review page" wrongly being moved by me inadvertently to the mainspace -- and was wondering IF the article is STILL ok for review and is it still "on hold" or do I need to completely resubmit it? (these are probably really stupid questions, so forgive me -- obviously my very first article -- BUT I am learning!!)

Golan Heights (Israeli sub-district)

Everything in the history and population sections including almost everything of the lead except for just a couple of unsourced sentences are already in the Golan heights article. See here: [2] [3] [4] [5]. Almost the entire article has nothing to do with a "Golan Heights (Israeli sub-district)" the information is about Golan heights in general and is already at that article as linked to above. There is also already an article about the north district: North District (Israel). Please delete the article this topic banned user started with his sock. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:01, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

You don't have to trust me, read the article, and read everything in these four links I provided. I don't know of any special map of the Israeli proclaimed Golan heights district. A google search of "Golan Heights sub-district" only brings normal maps of Golan heights. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 20:22, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thats only a part of it, as I said, almost everything in the article is unrelated to the the administrative sub district but is about the general GH region, if I remove everything about the GH region and only keep the info about the district, it will be an article consisting of two sentences. One of these sentences being that its a sub district - already in both the North District (Israel) article and Golan Heights article, and the other sentence would be about druze population - already in the the GH article. Found this: Israeli government website: [6], the district is the same area of the Golan heights that Israel occupies. --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 21:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

You believe its relevant to the administrative district, I don't. There is the talkpage of the article, if you want to get involved and show how all the text in the article is related to the district. Link to the key? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 09:17, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Optimus prime image

File:Optimusprime-classictoy.jpg is a photo of copyrighted 3D art; I changed the original tags to reflect as such [the original uploader has a long history of mislabeling images he's photographed as releasable under GFDL]. Hence the reduction in file size and the CSD tags. It is a non-free image with no fair-use claim and not used in any articles; it should be deleted [just as a few dozen if not hundred of the uploaders other files have been]. --EEMIV (talk) 00:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

A copyrighted work -- "art" has a broad meaning beyond simply "statue." Simply taking a photo of a copyrighted design does not make the image fair-use; it is, instead, a derivative work and similarly bound by the rules of WP:NFC. --EEMIV (talk) 00:49, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

As a point of comparison, see e.g. this from the same uploader once he figured out how to properly create a FUR and use images. This older upload had been used against policy as an image in the wikiproject banner; it is now unused, and although originally uploaded with wrong tags, the need for FUR and following NFCC apply. --EEMIV (talk) 00:51, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

*shrug* Whatever. I don't know the vagaries of cars and whatnot to comment on them, merely that ANI has several times told the uploader that these kinds of images must be claimed under fair use (which he's started doing). This images, when they've wound up orphaned after being yanked from merges and AfDed articles, are axed soon thereafter. I'm happy to just IfD it for someone who knows more clearly how they're supposed to be treated -- or, rather, why they've consistently been deleted -- can weigh in. --EEMIV (talk) 00:56, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

'Transformix Engineering' Deletion

Dear Nyttend,

On 9 October 2010 at 14:25 you deleted a page I created, titled Transformix Engineering, citing (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). As you can probably tell, I am relatively new to contributing to Wikipedia and am seeking your coaching and further justification for the deletion. Please consider the following:

This article was published nearly one year ago in early November 2009. Until your deletion, no cautions or reservations about the content were expressed (to my knowledge). Content was fully cited, factual, and presented without bias to the best of my abilities. I have slowly built on the original article since then as appropriate information became available and as I continued to explore functionality available on Wikipedia. Therefore, I am finding it difficult to accept that the article remained published for almost 1 year, in good standing, before its sudden deletion. If the page drifted from pure fact to a promotional piece, which was not my intention, then I would have much preferred for the offending sentence(s) to be edited or removed instead of deleting the entire article.

If there were early warning signs or tags on the Transformix Engineering article that I missed, then I apologize. I am only prepared to contribute an hour or two per week to Wikipedia because of other obligations. I did not have an opportunity to place a ‘hang on’ tag before the article’s deletion.

For full disclosure, I should also acknowledge that I am actively employed by Transformix Engineering thereby presenting a possible conflict of interest with the subject matter. Please note that I wrote the article strictly on a volunteer basis. Public Relations and marketing are the furthest things from my day-to-day job duties as an engineer. As long as edits are cited and presented in a neutral point of view, then I do not anticipate that my employment status will be a concern.

Likewise, you deleted a page titled Peng-Sang Cau, the President and CEO of Transformix Engineering. Naturally, the notability of Peng-Sang Cau’s page diminishes substantially without a complementary page for Transformix Engineering.

In conclusion, please consider reinstating both the Transformix Engineering and Peng-Sang Cau pages.

Thanks in advance, Lucas Parafianowicz (talk) 02:28, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Dear Nyttend,

Thank you for your note on my talk page and reinstating the Transformix Engineering article.

As for the complementary Peng-Sang Cau page and notability there of... I agree with your comment, in that “not all founders of companies are important”, or at least not important enough to warrant a Wikipedia page. Therefore, my question is: Where is the line drawn in the sand to determine which business leaders are or are not important enough to be given a Wikipedia entry?

In this case, Peng-Sang Cau founded Transformix Engineering 15 years ago and grew the company from nothing to a multi-million dollar business with 75 employees. As President and CEO throughout, she has navigated this engineering and manufacturing company through the recent (and ongoing?) economic recession. Transformix is going through a rapid growth much to Peng-Sang Cau’s credit. Personally, I think this justifies her importance and notability relative to other business leaders who have Wikipedia pages. If this reasoning was not adequately expressed in her page, then I would ask that you re-publish it and allow me to make the appropriate changes.

NRHP categorizations

I reverted this edit of yours for several reasons:

• • My responses to your responses:
• I can't find the exact diff where I got the idea it was better not to link the state and "United States" in an NRHP article lede, but I decided after someone else did it in bulk that it wasn't such a bad idea to leave those unlinked inline per WP:CONTEXT.
  • Naming is one thing; linking another. I believe it was Tony of date-delinking infamy who made those delinks en masse (In any case the state and "U.S." are already linked in the infobox).

Per the relevant MOS page: "Unless they are particularly relevant to the topic of the article, avoid linking terms whose meaning can be understood by most readers of the English Wikipedia, including plain English words, the names of major geographic features and locations ..." (Emphasis mine). Daniel Case (talk) 00:09, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

It's Tony1, actually, and you might want to read some of the things on his user page about overlinking. And I would submit two things re the Kent, Ohio, article: it's about that city and state, so of course the links would be more directly relevant. Whereas I think in articles about subjects other than settlements, a link to only the smallest subdivision relevant suffices. Daniel Case (talk) 00:57, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Just because it's done in an FA (particularly one approved several years ago) does not automatically make it OK. Daniel Case (talk) 01:09, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

• As with East 80th Street Houses, where I also reverted you, the buildings that comprise that listing were built over a period of years rather than one single year. Therefore I find the decade category more appropriate.
  • I'm aware of the issues with the date ranges in "period of significance". My categorization choices for those articles reflect the fact that the actual applications state that the buildings (although they are not listed as historic districts, they are indeed groups of buildings) were built over a period of years. Some of us do actually read the applications when they're available (as all of NY's are) and try to write articles that reflect that we have. When an article is about four buildings built separately between 1922 and 1928, it is misleading to assign them all to a single year. Daniel Case (talk) 00:03, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

• I have often gone further than the NRIS and clarified whether the "private" in question was a residence or a business. I see no reason why we should not do so if the information is available. Daniel Case (talk) 16:55, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

• Comment to both of you (having stumbled upon this): "Private" and "private residences" are both informative descriptive terms for that property, but how many native speakers of English would understand either of those terms to be a "governing body"? In this context, the label in the NRHP infobox is the problem -- it makes no sense when the entry is "private." NRIS presumably uses the term "governing body" because it's a government database and the identity of an owning government body is important in government circles, but that's not the situation for Wikipedia. If you want to say "private," in the infobox, edit the infobox to make "Ownership" an alternate label for that field. --Orlady (talk) 03:46, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Oxford Magazine (Miami University)

Just thought I should point out that per Wikipedia:Copyright violations, when there is an assertion of permission such as an OTRS pending tag, while the speedy deletion should be declined the article should then be blanked via {{subst:copyvio}} as we often never receive usable permission. Cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 20:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

We already received the email (that's what led me to the article), it just isn't usable yet. Blanking it puts it into the queue at WP:Copyright problems, completely unrelated to speedy deletions. At this point it will stay blanked for a week unless either usable permission comes through or someone rewrites the article so it's no longer a copy of the source; at the end of the week it will either be deleted or stubbed to remove the copyvio if anything's salvageable (or possibly relisted for various reasons).

About redirects Greek National Road 2 and Greek National Road 7

I have inserted the deletion template because of an automated message of wikipedia after page moves that says that if a redirect is wrong (not just a typo) then I should mark it for deletion. If you see List of Greek roads, you will notice that the above roads are different from the ones that their articles are redirecting to. All I want to do is to fix this mistake. I had tried some time ago with the Greek National Road 2 again to speedy delete it, but someone again rejected my proposal. Because I don't contribute mainly in the English Wikipedia, and I don't know if there is another process, I want to ask you If you know what should I do.

Copyvio query

Hi Nyttend. You just declined three speedies I put on images where the creator had screenshotted a video game published on the BlackBerry and redrawn the images (very badly)(File:Doodle_Powerups.png File:Doodle Monsters.png File:Doodle Platforms.png). The game is copyright to Lima Sky (see here for claim of copyright), the illustrations were created by Elise Gravel - you'll note the page features her copyright claim. I apologise if I did not provide sufficient information in the speedy tag, but there is no way the images I tagged are not derivative works, and the uploader's claim to be the sole creator is simply not correct. I believe he has had the usual problem that because the game is distributed free or can be played for free, he believes that the images can be copied for free. You'll notice that the logo used in the Doodle Jump article (File:Doodle jump icon.png) is used under a fair use claim. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 10:29, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Kappa Tanabe

Hi - you recently deleted the Kappa Tanabe page, which was one of many I created nominated for deletion by the same person. I thought the article asserted importance - if it did not, could you explain to me what is required to "assert importance"? You can respond here. Thanks. Tduk (talk) 19:59, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

It said that he'd played with a few different individuals and never explained why anything that he'd done was that impressive. As far as I could see from that article, he's quite the average musician. I'd suggest attempting to prove notability; as long as you provide enough reliable sources (your references, by the way, didn't generally appear to be reliable) to demonstrate notability, I can't imagine that the article would be deleted under A7 grounds — A7 is meant to get rid of articles that neither show importance nor notability, since they would surely be deleted at AFD; it's not meant to get rid of anything that would be kept at AFD. Nyttend (talk) 20:16, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Really? My understanding of the process was as follows: Speedy deletion is meant to weed out obvious spam and other problematic material. That is why it explicitly states notability is not required to pass a speedy delete. On wikipedia, articles require the work of multiple people - thus, to create an article, it may not be the best article, because it's not always the case that a single person can do so - I certainly don't have the time to. Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. This article was only up for a few days - it did not have time to get updated by people with more time and knowledge than me. A great example of an article that went through this process is Darren Barrett. I want to contribute to wikipedia, but I have limited resources, and I contribute in what ways I can. In order for wikipedia to be a true collaborative resource, there needs the be a buffer for articles to pass speedy, but perhaps not pass AfD (or to pass after people become aware of the AfD and improve it). In this case, particularly, I am not capable of finding the sources in Japanese - that's why I created the article. I know that people are weary of creating article - for exactly this reason that they get deleted - and I have created articles in the past and been overjoyed that people have found stuff to contribute to them. Tduk (talk) 20:25, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

(and also there is Wikipedia:The Heymann Standard) Tduk (talk) 20:26, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that Kappa Tanabe was the kind of problematic material that it's supposed to weed out: it never showed why she was importance. I know that notability isn't required to avoid an A7 speedy; my point is that A7 mustn't be used on articles that demonstrate notability, so if you can demonstrate notability, you'll definitely be able to avoid the A7. Nyttend (talk) 21:03, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I see what you're saying, though I still don't agree with your interpretation of the policy. Rather than argue about it, can you suggest a venue where I can ask for clarifications on questions I may have about the policies? I don't want to bother you and seem to harass you, so outside input from a forum might be best.. Thanks! Tduk (talk) 22:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

First off, you're neither bothering nor harassing me, and I don't see this conversation as an argument, so don't worry about it :-) You could go to WP:HD for help, or WT:DP for input on deletion policy, or even WP:DRV if you'd like to ask for this deletion to be overturned on the grounds that this article didn't qualify for A7 speedy deletion.

Directions to covered bridges

I noticed that you removed the driving directions from Smolen–Gulf Bridge per WP:NOTTRAVEL. I wanted to let you know that it appears that all Ashtabula County covered bridge articles (see List of Ashtabula County covered bridges) have directions.

Categories

In July the governor signed a law renaming 5 colleges in the state. I moved the pages then but am just now getting around to the categories.

I'll continue the discussion here. The categories are uncontroversial to begin with and summaries like this are a bit worrisome. What is the reason that you don't want me to go ahead and IAR? Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Then what do we do for the colleges that have been renamed four or five times (like mine)? I have never seen categories exist for multiple incarnations of the same institution. Besides, keeping one category is usually the normal thing to do. Also, since some colleges have completely renamed themselves all around, having multiple categories might give the impression that multiple institutions have existed. Having worked in these areas before, I might be a bit of a hardliner. Finally, this category only seems to allow for one category per institution in its wording. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Use your head

Before you assume my information is incorrect, why don't you do the research for yourself.

For Pike township, read up on township's history [9]. This is an official source, straight from the government's historical society and government trustees. For North Industry, you can follow that it is part of Canton Township, which if you read that article, you will find all students of that township all attend the Canton Local School District. If that's still not enough proof to fit your linear line of thinking around, let's look at a map. There was even at one time a school in Canton Local named North Industry School.

Follow up on my talk; since I prefer to keep discussions in one place, and you responded there, I'm waiting for your answer there. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:33, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Considering that several other administrators have now agreed that your use of RevDelete was inappropriate, would you please consider unhiding that edit summary? Dabomb87 (talk) 19:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Furthermore, "Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia." Do you really think that edit was made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia? Ucucha 19:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

If we only use that definition, the very idea of edit summary vandalism is impossible. Making a useless edit for the sole purpose of attacking another editor with the edit summary is edit summary vandalism. Nyttend (talk) 19:54, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Nyttend, this is a very disappointing response, as you are otherwise a very upstanding editor. You have not offered any reason supported by the criteria at Wikipedia:Revision deletion, and it would seem this action is significantly beyond the intended use of that tool. It would likely be better to admit you made a mistake in judgement on this. I'd hate to see your reputation tainted with misuse of a powerful tool like the ability to redact edit summaries. older ≠ wiser 20:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

• Hope you don't mind me butting in – having barnstarred you a couple of weeks ago and left you on my watchlist by mistake – to suggest you wrap this up quickly rather than let it spoil your comfort here. It's difficult to swallow criticism when your motives were pure and, as you see it, you've only transgressed in a technical sense (in this case, going beyond the criteria for redaction) but the bigger picture is that no-one wants to see two useful contributors slugging it out when they could be improving the encyclopedia instead. You might eventually attract an audience for your case, but FWIW whenever I've been quick to say "maybe I got it wrong", the rack and thumbscrews have disappeared and I've got back to business as usual without any toxic residue. Wouldn't that be better than continuing the battle tomorrow morning? I suspect you'll look smarter rather than weaker for putting this aside. - Pointillist (talk) 21:58, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

• Another one butting in. It's clear here that Physchim62 should not have labelled SandyGeorgia's mistake as vandalism, which it clearly wasn't. SandyGeorgia shouldn't have used an edit summary to express her feelings on the matter, she should have used another option. And you should not have RevDeleted her edit summary as it does not fall into any category for which RevDeletion is applicable. So no-one was right. Be the bigger person - just agree and move on. It's no secret that Physchim and Sandy haven't got on for years - the risk to yourself is greater because it concerns the use of an admin tool, and, respectfully, you need to recognise that. Elen of the Roads (talk) 00:24, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• Sorry to pile on, but I too think there is learning to be taken away for all participants in this matter, including you, Nyttend. I don't think anybody did anything seriously bad here and I don't think anybody acted from bad intentions; I pretty much agree with Elen's summary here. It's up to you whether you acknowledge anything here but I'd think the more of you if you could at least unhide the summary. Thanks --John (talk) 05:18, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

• Another editor already did that, since Nyttend apparently continues to believe I was vandalizing and wouldn't do it himself. I am still waiting for him to respond on my talk. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Four days have passed, and you still haven't responded to me. I have mentioned this as part of this discussion. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:29, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

WP:AN and Starzynka

I noticed that you edited the comments after the discussion had been closed. The collapse box clearly said that "The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it." Is it not a bit bad form to edit archived discussions? — Fly by Night (talk) 20:26, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

deletion

please bring my article user page:manager0916 or the philippine information help, I'am the creator of the page and is in need of that page right now.Manager0916 (talk) 12:19, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I can respond to that (I tried to nominate the same page for deletion, but it was already done). Please talk a read of WP:NOTWEBHOST. Wikipedia (both article space and your user page) are not a web host--you cannot use any part of Wikipedia to keep personal information about yourself or business your are involved in. There are many other internet sites, even free ones, that do allow this. Wikipedia articlespace is for encyclopedic level articles about notable subjects; userpages are only to provide very brief information about yourself and to provide info about your activities on Wikipedia.

Habib ur Rehman Kapoorthalwi

This article didn't assert that the subject was a prime minister of a state - it said "S/O" (son of) a state prime minister. As far as I can tell from the (unsourced) article, Habib was no more than a local magistrate. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:27, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

New Page

okay, if the contents of my article is not appropriate in wikipedia i will just make a much appropriate one, thanks for the notice.Manager0916 (talk) 12:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I will be careful for now on, on what information i will be putting in my userpage, thanks again.Manager0916 (talk) 12:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

University of Zagreb Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering

Why did I bother to improve Wikipedia by making article with above title when you deleted it without reason? The only sentence which describes the subject is properly referenced by reliable source. Moreover, please see similar articles, like, for example, University of Zagreb Faculty of Geodesy, which is rated as a Start-Class on a project WikiProject Croatia (without references). Providing the basic info on my institution should not be discouraged, but, on the contrary, should be encouraged like similar articles. Like I said on talk page of the user article, it will grow, because other colleagues will participate once the article is in the main space. Bjankov (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Hartford City Courthouse Square Historic District

Hartford City Courthouse Square Historic District is up. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome -- they would also prevent me from making the same mistakes again. I will probably get to the Montpelier Carnegie Library -- thanks for the link, but the Blackford County Courthouse and some of the small towns in Blackford County are ahead in line.TwoScars (talk) 19:10, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colombo Street

Hi Nyttend - I've done some extension of the article. The street is definitely one of the most notable streets in New Zealand, but unfortunately I have little reference material about Christchurch. Hopefully what i've done will be enough for you to have some second thoughts, though... Grutness...wha? 09:25, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Hospitals and Notability

A question about notability - is it widely held that all hospitals meet notability requirements for Wikipedia, even if the article makes no claim other than the hospital exists? Thanks --NDSteve10 (talk) 17:23, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, after rereading the policy I agree with your assessment. I appreciate the quick response. --NDSteve10 (talk) 05:48, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Merge discussion for Gravel Ridge, Arkansas

An article that you have been involved in editing, Gravel Ridge, Arkansas , has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. --ARTEST4ECHO ^{(talk|contribs)} 17:15, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

RevDel

Nyttend, I strongly suggest you work to tie up the situation with your inappropriate use of RevDel. I don't see where you have acknowledged that you violated the policy, or indicated that you even understand the policy. To do it a second time on your own page with the user you are having a dispute with is quite unacceptable. This is not going to go away if you ignore it long enough—please take steps to make amends and indicate your understanding of the policy. If you continue to ignore the matter, the next logical step for the community will be to open an RFC on your use of administrator privileges. --Andy Walsh (talk) 22:30, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
