Page DeletionHi Diannaa - I am new to Wikipedia so forgive me for any mistakes etc please but you recently deleted a page I created for Danny Guba on the basis of copyright infringement and notability. I wrote the material myself to ensure that it was different from that of Danny Guba's website and I also have permission from him to create the page. Furthermore, Danny has featured in numerous martial arts publications, documentaries etc and is one of the foremost Doce Pares Eskrima practitioners in the world. I think it is only right that he has his own Wikipedia page as he is world-renowned and very famous in the UK. Please can you advise me how to create this page without it being removed? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NXKMartialArts (talk • contribs) 09:38, 11 March 2015 (UTC) Thank you for your interest in creating an article for wikipedia. There is actually more than one problem with your submission. There was still some copyright material in the article, as the general information about Guba Doce Pares International was copied from http://www.docepares-europe.com/History.html. In addition to the copyright issue, the second problem is notability. You don't have multiple independent sources that demonstrate that Mr Guba notable enough, as Wikipedia defines it, to have an article. We require write-ups in reliable third party sources such as newpapers, magazines, or online publishers to establish notability. The only source that is independent of the subject of the article is this one, which is an interview with Mr Guba. However, it states that he is a world champion. For some reason this information did not get into the article. In what year did he win the title? Have you got any more sources that substantiate that claim? -- Diannaa (talk) 13:55, 11 March 2015 (UTC) Hi Diannaa, Thank you for the explanation, I will ensure that I have more sources prepared before producing the page again. Yes he is a 5 time world champion and has DVDs etc which I can link to the page. I will amass my sources first and remove or modify the Guba Doce Pares reference next time. Also, I would like to add an image to the article if possible? Thanks again. Regards, NXK Martial Arts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.240.17.66 (talk) 15:12, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Time Series DatabaseRe: User talk:Diannaa/Archive 38#Time Series Database It takes several years and many man-months to build a specialized database management system, so this list is destined to be finite. I would agree that 20 years from now the technology will mature similar to relational database: Relational database. Right now the list of database implementations is useful in its diversity because the article itself doesn't contain sufficient information on time-series transformations, storage schemas, and query languages supported by time-series databases. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodionos (talk • contribs) 20:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC) More disruption by an IP you've warned beforeHello, This IP has gotten three warnings by now for disruption, yet he's continuing as of recent on Parthia and Ancient Near East.

BrazzabelleHi Dianna - I am not an expert at Wikipedia however you deleted my page Brazzabelle which meets Wikipedias Music bios criteria, Brazzabelle has appeared on national television on the Young Hollywood Awards[1], has music charted on national charts, and released on credible labels such like Interscope and Atlantic Records. I have listed my IMDB Profile as well as press articles as reference is this not enough? If so could you please help me find out what I need to do to avoid deletion and better prove I meet guidelines? --Twenty20below (talk) 02:05, 13 March 2015 (UTC) References The article was deleted as the result of a deletion discussion in 2012, and again in 2014. I reviewed the new article and the subject is still not notable enough, as Wikipedia defines it, to qualify for an article at this time. For musicians, the criteria can be found here. I searched on http://www.billboard.com/ and there's no record of any of your music charting on any of the charts that they track. IMDB is not considered a reliable source, as it is user-generated content. Sorry, -- Diannaa (talk) 02:15, 13 March 2015 (UTC) smurdererI would like to change my username I guess. Even though smurd is just drums backwards...
So much vandalism (inappropriate content) in sandboxWP:Sandbox has been vandalised so many times. I found that last edit with 100 000 bytes which is trolling. Can you see the history page? -- Pikachu2568 (talk) (please {{re}}) @ 13:56, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Page DeletionHi Diannaa, I'm a very new Wikipedia editor, and I noticed that you deleted a page I was working on. I completely agree with your decision; I was in the middle of building a page about cellist Leyla MacCalla, left the editor box open, and must have created the page by accident before I was ready. I'm now working in an outside editor to finish the page, making sure to include independent sources to affirm notability, removing any text I'd temporarily copied from news articles into the editor box for reference, and attempting to contact the artist for permission. Once I finish the page and re-create it, I hope you'll take another look and let me know if there are any problems. FYI, I started working on the page at a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon held by the group Art and Feminism. The page was on the group's task list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism/Tasks Cheers, Fixomatic (talk) 21:15, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 14Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nuremberg Laws, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reichstag (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

There is nowhere in the book that Hitler speaks of exterminating Jews or a future plan to exterminate Jews.--Hashi0707 (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Non-sequitur. Kershaw speaks on Hitler's words the 'removal of the Jews' and then gives his own interpretation of his words. Kershaw concludes that various statements had a genocidal vision but does not say that Hitler proposed for a future plan to exterminate Jews. The fact remains that nowhere in the book does Hitler speak of a future plan to exterminate Jews.--Hashi0707 (talk) 23:19, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Betti-Sue HertzDear Diannaa, I am new to Wikipedia so forgive me for any mistakes etc. You recently deleted a page I created for Betti-Sue Hertz on the basis of copyright infringement and notability. The material that overlapped with the Yerba Buena Center page on Betti-Sue Hertz was just a list with dates of where she worked. I can rewrite it and also have permission from her to create the page. Please can you advise me how to create this page without it being removed? At this point it looks like I need your help in proceeding.

Thank You very much for the help !Good Morning Diannaa! First of all a big thank you for the final edit of the page Che in paona bazaar , Really I was so depressed yesterday for the harsh behavior of one of your colleague. I have joined Wikipedia this year only, with the interest of writings, but I am not the computer student and being very much new in this area, I feel uneasy when I write about something because of wrongly put computer languages most of the time but if you all help me then I can be able to solve my problems in near future, I bought few books like Che in Paona bazaar via flipcart, read it and found it interesting to write on Wikipedia, before that , I wrote about the author Mr. Kishalay Bhattacharjee, We Indians are ardent fan of him because of his enlighten news and he is one of the finest story teller about the veiled part of North East India, So after finished writing and got edited by so many wikipedia editors, because that was my 1st topic, I was so excited and asked google team when it would be appearing in the google 1st page, might be its a silly questions to you all... but remember how did you feel when your 1st writing was seen in google page ? I do Not know that journalist personally, only seen via television , and how would you be feeling if someone charge you that you are the journalist in disguise and try to sell your book via wikipedia ??!! Its so embarrassing !! Yes we have some cultural variations, but we do not behave like this with an unknown person. Have a heart dear ! Its not the continent to continent problem not with the countries, its on you , depends on people's upbringing, how much they care others or how much they have the quality to teach others , everyone cant be the teacher , Right ? Anyways, God is there to judge those arrogant. If I have any bad intention of book selling then I argue with you for the massive change of the page, But as a learner I should respect you as a teacher. God Bless. Gargi 12:34, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Dianna, regarding the above, I don't think User:Thetanmancan1 is an impersonator, I think it is the same person who can no longer access their original account.

D-- while the "flag law" part is interesting, I don't believe it should be included; but if you decide otherwise, I would suggest it be re-added as a footnote (with book cite). Kierzek (talk) 20:19, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Replacement imageYou deleted File:TcshAndShScreenCapture.png, suggesting that cropping to eliminate the Apple UI elements at the top and bottom of the screen would make it acceptable. I've done that and uploaded the new image at File:TcshAndShScreenCaptureCropped.png. It's used in the C shell and Unix shell articles. I would appreciate if you could review my submission to confirm that you find it satisfactory. Msnicki (talk) 04:06, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Margaret_GellingYou deleted a picture I uploaded of my aunt, whose sole heir I am, which I created by scanning her expired passport which is among her effects and thus mine. Oddly someone had generated a PNG of the JPEG I uploaded, and the deletion seemed to go backwards from that. I did remark on the image page - which already had provenance on it - to this effect. I suspect the process is broken. Midgley (talk) 23:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

I explained that I had been given permission to use a word document as the basis of the article - and some of this word document was used in a printed online article. So there was some confusion on my part as I am new to all this. He very helpfully explained that a form needed to be filled out by the author of the article which has been done (see text below). I still haven't heard back from administrators yet even though the copyright has been released so any issues are covered.....
If you can please get back to me that would be much appreciated. Deep Ocean Minerals are really important and of interest to human health and just of interest in terms of oceanography. Thanks Sharon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thaiso (talk • contribs) 23:09, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

CG 4Hi Dianna,
Hello. I see you blocked this IP address before. They keep adding that Justin P. Wilson has two sons from his first marriage, but I haven't found a reference for it. I have had to remove it several times and it is getting annoying. One edit history said, "I am the first wife and mother of the first two children and aborted child", another one "I am Mr Wilsons First Wife-- Donna Danner Wilson from 1973-1981. We had two sons during this marriage and were expecting a third child that was aborted at Mr Wilson's", etc., but that's not a reliable source obviously. It might be true, but without a reference I just don't think the info should be added. What do you think?Zigzig20s (talk) 05:11, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
JohnnyUtahNo9 Username followup questionHello again and thank you for your timely response to my administrator help request. I realize it was unlikely but was making one last attempt to retain my contribution history. Actually, my en-wiki account was not compromised, but rather for some reason Wikipedia allowed an ru-wiki User with the same name (when it was Thisfireburns) to take it over when that person applied for a global account. Subsequently, I lost access when my 30-day log in expired (the reason it has not been used since October 2014). I tried having the Username of the en-wiki account changed and merged with a new account I created (JohnnyUtahNo9) through the Stewards, but that did not work; it just applied the "self-usurped" tag to this one. Is there any way then to terminate that account to free up the Username so that I may recreate it (and have an en-wiki account with my unified JohnnyUtahNo9 login)? Regards. JohnnyUtahNo9 (self-usurped) (talk) 13:22, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
AttribHi Diannaa, Would you have a look at this section of Bonny Hicks? It's something I don't recall seeing before, although I understand the reasoning if copied over directly from citizendium.org. I plugged away at some copy-edit stuff for a while, and Twofingered Typist also made some significant improvements to it. As there's been some significant (IMO) changes made, does that notification need to stay on the article? I know you're pretty up-to-speed on this kind of thing, and was hoping you'd have a look. Thank you. — Ched : ? 00:26, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello again. I don't want to edit-war, so I have not reverted this edit again. But I think it should be removed for two reasons: 1) the reference links to an unreliable website, so it could be made up 2) It's a long quote, which is not really standard on Wikipedia and does not seem particularly critical to the article. Do you want to keep the quote or would you like to remove it and explain to the other editor why it is inappropriate please? Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 22:04, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Out of the 200+ articles I commenced on wikipedia over the last 8 years, my accuser thinks he has found 5 violations. I think they can be corrected. Most of them, however, relate to userpage articles which is where I do my "rough copies" and collect material before producing the final article for publication. The two recent deletions are examples, both from my userpage under a heading "under construction". Once I have published an article, the User article is redundant. I should nominate them for deletion. But I am unsure how to do that. Perhaps I should do all my rough work in Word. My accuser says that my usepage is replete with copyright notices. But I can't find them. Most of the notices relate to notability concerns of BLPs and disambiguation. I would be grateful if you would let me know how and where I can state my case and any other information I should be aware of. Kind regards,Rick570 (talk) 02:32, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Stefan2 (talk) 23:31, 28 March 2015 (UTC) my edit on mathematicshi, i understand your point of concern, however i think it is also unfair that the editor ignored my warning in the previous edit. it is not appropriate to put some hindu prophet in the edits. it's not just hindu prophets, ANY prophet. why would someone put this prophet in the mathematics section? no one knew of the individual he was referring to. - i am from canada. i would like to think our public education was quite strong. i have learned of many mathematicians and philosophers during school. baudhyanana or whatever their name is, was not one of them. in fact, you could argue the page was PERFECT before (even _WITH_ alhazen). archimedes, euclid, thales, pythagoras. learned of all of them. i remember archimedes' principle of buoyancy being illustrated in my grade FOUR math textbook. baudhyanana? nope. i would like to think the multicultural aspect of my country did not lead to a blatant omission of baudhyana; maybe it was moreso because they did not contribute as much as the previous editor wanted to believe? i've never heard of either, and yes while i'm still learning mathematics, i do not think these individuals were such huge contributors (akin to Newton, Leibniz, Fermat, etc etc) that they deserved mention... i understand many Greats were religious, which is completely fine by me; that withstanding: Newton, Descartes, etc are not apart of 'Series on Christianity' (nor is Sir Wiles, etc) how is it fair to the field of mathematics when individuals insert undeserving individuals, let alone religious prophets, into the page where "The Greats" are? especially given that there is no protection on the page, anyone affiliated with a religious sect can just pop their favourite person into the page. in this case, no one was disputing his edit but me because not many people care about mathematics. i honestly find it hard to refrain from personal attacks when the individual clearly didn't want to discuss the edit at all. he was warned, and reverted without ANY reasoning. where is his warning? believe you me, i'm all about religious freedom and everyone has the right to practice their own religion. however, i have a problem with some people who insert their own bias into a topic. the page was fine. he disturbed it unnecessarily and inserted two individuals of hindu faith. was that coincidence?
'lorentz loving loser' may have been an attack, and yes i went a little far. that was because the editor whom i reverted did not argue his points on the talk page (as the person he was reverting asked for a discussion, which went ignored). i was upset to see that one individual was exercising proper wikieditiquette, while the other blatantly disregarded it as he had some bias with respect to the content being edit (it was on lorentz' work, and the individual is an unabashed fan of lorentz) i am just trying to get some clarification. i didn't speculate on someone's religious faith. i just see no reason why someone would insert a hindu prophet into a mathematics page. i am having a hard time believing it's appropriate at all. i am not trying to stir the pot. i do not want to get banned. i just want to make sure we're all on the same page as i feel i have some use to this community (not as much as others though). thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.213.121 (talk) 23:39, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
hi, i would just appreciate if wikipedia protected certain pages involving mathematics. i found another edit on history of mathematics from someone with an indian IP that incorrectly tried to 'extend' the history of indian mathematics to start at 3000 BC: edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=History_of_mathematics&diff=653914682&oldid=653780326 ip range: http://www.nirsoft.net/countryip/in.html the cited text (p208 of boyer, edition 1) stated 2000 BC. even so, i left it at 2600-1900 to ensure a FAIR discussion happens before changing these dates back to 2000 BC. to me, this seems like someone from india wanted the history of indian mathematics to start as early as babylonians, and did not even cite it. i know that i came off as anti-hindu, so i will let you draw your own conclusions as to the probability of this editor being of hindu denomination. i am just stating that if the IP is from india, there is a 78.35% chance the person is hindu. it could be someone else for all i know, so i am not trying to jump to conclusions. i am just stating the numbers. since i am unfamiliar with wikipedia protocol: is it possible to point me in the direction where editing certain pages requires a 'passthrough' by someone with appropriate credibility/knowledge in the field? again, i understand that my conduct in the edit comments was wrong and i'm trying to be mindful of that as i state this ONE example (i know ONE case does not generalize, nor am i saying it does. it just worries me) as time goes on, i feel that people will try to edit these pages to bias/favour their own (i.e. the place form which they originated were the 'first' or 'earliest' to contribute to mathematics). tyvm for your respnose 174.3.213.121 (talk) 00:38, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
