Dearest friend Roger! You have deleted a page about international musical band 208 Talks of Angels. But please, dearest friend, note, that the page deleted by you according to deletion discussuion is NOT substantially identical to the previously deleted version (deleted by Sandstein), there are new sources and new data about the Band and it's collaborations with regarded musicians. With opened heart I ask you to re-view your desicion concerning speedy deletion and re-check the article's references.

Restoring a wiki page

Not deleting a wiki page

Deletion of the page Moscoman

OnDemandKorea

Hi, I made a Wikipedia page for the streaming company OnDemandKorea. The page was created solely for the purpose of information. So that people knew the site existed and that it was a legitimate website. I modeled it very closely to other Korean streaming company Wikipedia pages so that it wouldn't be considered advertising/promotion. It got marked for speedy deletion, I contested it, never heard back, and then it got deleted. I sent a talk message asking how I could rewrite it to avoid deletion but never heard anything back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farbod628 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Do you know what the usual wait-time is for a page to go from Draft to Live? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Farbod628 (talk • contribs) 00:34, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of Medan vi lever

Hi, I am new at making pages, I have contributed before but still a newbie. Sorry. Yesterday (I live in Sweden) I wrote a page on a new movie that has screened in Sweden, the title is "Medan vi lever" ("While we live"). First I wrote in Swedish and then I got a msg to change to English, which I did. I also got a message to enter sources which I did. Among the links was the Swedish Film Database, a completely non-commercial site with data about movies, actors starring in movies, and filmmakers. I also linked to the film director Dani Kouyatés page. When I published the page it was immediately tagged for "Speedy Deletion". I contested the deletion and had a brief exchange with another admin. But after editing the page I did not get any response. And when I checked in today morning I found that the page got deleted.

I am not part of any promotion team. I have not been payed to write a page on Wikipedia, I just wanted to add information about the film, and that's what I explained to the other admin (John). Did I make formal mistakes or what was the reason for not taking into consideration what I wrote? I am an independent journalist and not part of any organization promoting the film, but the page has now been deleted tagged as "unambiguous advertisement or promotion"? Hmmm. It's true that I linked to a distributor site, where it is also possible to move on to purchase tickets through clicking links, but I could easily have removed that link and only kept the links to reviews and the non-commercial data base. I could also rewrite and add info about the film, which is by the way the first movie produced in Sweden to starr a majority of black actors, making film history through this fact.

  • If you are ready to restore the page after changes, please let me know and I will try to comply with the rules I understand exist on Wikipedia and edit the page some more, remove commercially ambiguous links and add some facts.
  • If you will not restore the page, then could you please retrieve and send me the text of the page since I did a huge job translating into English and adding links.

Would be most grateful for a response, and consideration for the fact that I live in Sweden, that is: a completely other timezone. Best, Amintou (talk) 08:12, 7 October 2016 (UTC) Edited Amintou (talk) 08:53, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Just trying to better my English and cutting out some unnecessary facts, didn't expect to get a speedy answer at all. Thanx. Amintou (talk) 09:15, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

And, yes I have looked at the deletion entry, and the pages "What Wikipedia is not" (the part: Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion), "Criteria for speedy deletion", G11, and also "Talk page guidelines". Keeping an eye now on my Watchlist and on this page. :) — Amintou (talk) 09:23, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

  • What on earth makes you think we live in completely different time zones? And in any case if you don't expect a speedy response why on earth should it matter what the time zone difference is? Please note that <br> is very rarely needed in wiki markup.
I have restored the article to draft:Medan vi lever but do not submit it until: a) you have created an acceptable version of sv:Medan vi lever and it has survived for a month or so, b) the movie has been reviewed by reliable English language sources and c) the draft looks like a Wikipedia article: infobox, lede, etc. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:54, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank You. I will start editing. A question though: The title is in Swedish. I cannot edit the title. Can the title be altered? If not I am considering whether I should edit this page completely in Swedish and create another one for review in English, with an English title. Thank you for input on this. Amintou (talk) 11:12, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Amintou (talk) 08:39, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Ethiope

I think on your page you meant to say, "an Ethiopian cannot change his skin and a leopard cannot change his spots." You got it backwards. Just FYI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregstcyr85 (talk • contribs) 15:01, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Maya

Re: user:talk:RHaworth 20:44, 14 September 2016 (UTC). Having worked with computers since 1965 (i.e. for 51 years), for the last three weeks since your message about ‘reverting’ an edit, I am no closer to understanding what you mean. There is neither record nor page locking on these pages, nor are postings appended to the end. Therefore if I am fortunate, I may be able to post something while no one else does so with the version of page I would have uploaded. If there is some other way of avoiding this problem, it is not evident. My only two communications received have been vague and more focused on nomenclature and protocol than content. If I am unable to pass these barriers and hurdles, I will have to capitulate and abandon trying to post something onto Wikipedia. — Ronsark (talk) 15:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

  • Ronsark, I also have worked with computers for about 51 years - so what? Editing Wikipedia talk pages does not need knowledge of computers - just common sense. Record/page locking is not needed because warnings are usually given of edit conflicts and nothing need be permanently lost - though I will admit that handling an edit conflict can be a bit daunting for a newbie. Postings can be appended - at the top of a talk page there is "new section" tab (may appear as just a + depending on skin and twinkle, etc.).
To spell out slowly what you did: please look at this "diff" report. I hope you can see that your message deleted a message from Hitcher vs. Candyman. My first reaction was to simply revert your edit as vandalism. But then I relented. The edits by Hitcher and you were 13 minutes apart which does not immediately suggest an edit conflict but I accepted that you could easily have had my talk page open for fifteen minutes while considering your reply so I left this more conciliatory message.
I invite you again to enter your message properly. Now you have another daunting task: to neither prepend nor append but add your message to this section. Hint: beside the title Maya you should see an [edit] link - click on it. Best of luck! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:54, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of Spotware

Dear RHaworth, You have recently delete a page for a company called Spotware, I have already contested the deletion in Talk:Spotware#Contested_deletion, which was also deleted. My reasons for not deleting this page were given in detail and it was later deleted by User:Explicit. I then wrote the page from scratch and spent several hours looking for alternative sources having taken on board the comments given by Wikipedia admins in Talk:Spotware which has also been deleted.

I need you to be clear on what was not acceptable about the version of the page which was deleted by you, since I corrected the issues expressed by the other Admins, with the exception of changing the entire orientation of my organization. It seems you had other issues. The article was entirely factual and simply explained that we are a company and located in Cyprus and have some products with a basic explanation on what they do, only explaining the functionality which could be backed up by sources not used more than once. The main issue originally raised was the validity of the sources provided and the frequency the same sources were used within the article. This was fixed by not using the same source more than once and by finding "more reputable" sources according to one comment these sources were not qualified in their opinion. I had quoted Bloomberg, Bobsguide, Waters Technology and others. I have to be very clear on the nature of our business, we are strictly Business to Business and the sources provided were industry specific trade publications and indeed very niche. They are not high profile sites aimed at the masses, i.e consumers.

Additionally, their was a comment that the Wikipedia moderation team should be very careful with Binary Options and Forex Trading companies, which I totally agree with, however we are not and do not solicit business from users, we are a technology company who require a Wikipedia page to provide a profile of the company which possible employees and business partners expect an industry leader to have.

The last and most infuriating part of all this is our competitors who provide even less credible sources and at best, the same and still have their pages untouched. This is the second time you personally have deleted our page and it begs the question, is this malicious?

For example: MetaTrader 4, Leverate, ZuluTrade, EToro. I need to be very clear that we are not using Wikipedia to promote links or for SEO, these are simply the sources which we have available for our industry. An industry which we strive to make better. I hope you consider giving this a second thought. Long story short, we really need a Wikipedia page for potential employees and business partners to view us as the credible company which we are. Your attention is appreciated. Jim Greene (talk) 15:54, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

  • What cheek! "We really need a Wikipedia page" as if you had some right to one. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks your company is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:54, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback, however it seems you have disregarded all of my very valid points and reverted only on a single point which I believe has been taken the wrong way. Please understand this; The page was put up for speedy deletion, this page had existed for over 3 years without issue. I stepped in to contest this since the reasons presented in Talk:Spotware were invalid as did another individual. I restored the page and based changes according to feedback from other moderators in Talk:Spotware. Yes there was a CoI but only on why the page should exist and not within the content itself, take note of the fact that the original content included negative events which occurred in the companies history which only existed there because it was an unbiased article, explaining both good and bad topics. A biased article would try to suppress that information and not promote it on Wikipedia.

I do not believe that Spotware has the right to a page but I also do not believe the company does not have the right either. Since the page has been protected it can not be created by another person. I completely respect your position as an advocate of eliminating CoI in Wikipedia, so I would like you to consider the following, which I think can be reasonably done without conflicting with your integrity nor stance on the matter;

1. Restore the page with simply one sentence to state that company exists, this will act as a place holder for others to discover the page and see content needs to be added, or at the very least removing the protection will be appreciated.

2. Restore Talk:Spotware so anyone who decides to create an article will discover previous reasons why the article was flagged by other moderators and use those guidelines.

Thank you. Jim Greene (talk) 09:20, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of FloTHERM

I don't understand why you deleted FloTHERM. I know this topic and reading the Thermal management page, I noticed that in the "Software" section 3 tools are mentioned. Only one of them, 6SigmaET, has its own page, but it is the least important, as you can see comparing Google's search trends.

I admit to have written a very short description (it is only a beginning), but in what isn't it neutral? Thank you for your answer and for your contribution to Wikipedia, anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karlopiz (talk • contribs) 14:50, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

International Beer and Pizza Day

Hello Rhaworth, Some time ago I created a draft for the food holiday known as International Beer and Pizza Day. At that time, the first iteration of the holiday had not come to pass, therefore I was unable to produce enough credible sources. This holiday was just celebrated yesterday, October 9th, and since then I have found that it was a huge hit around the world. To my surprise, several articles were written about it, a large number of bars/restaurants have celebrated with discounts on beer and pizza, and traffic on beerandpizzaday.com has spiked significantly. Many businesses have even created their own banners to celebrate the day. Searching for 'beerandpizzaday' on Twitter will show a lot of people had a good time participating in the new food holiday. Because of all the new development, I would kindly ask that you restore my previous draft and allow me to significantly edit and add to it with new information and credible sources. Below are several source links:

Thank you, NickSaul (talk) 19:12, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

  • This page confirms that you invented this holiday so I should say "kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks it is notable and writes about it here". However, I will admit that hoax was an invalid deletion reason so I have restored it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:16, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Deleted article - Chocolate Phosphate

I was going to create an article chocolate phosphate but was notified that there was one but had been deleted by you. I would like to know the content of that article. Also there is no link to it to fulfil your request to include a link. Thanks, Murray Simon (user mursimon) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mursimon (talk • contribs) 13:56, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

I got the info on the link by typing "Chocolate Phosphate" into the search line and among other things I got this: "A page with this title has previously been moved or deleted. If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below. 03:53, 11 October 2016 RHaworth (talk | contribs) deleted page Chocolate phosphate (A3: Article has no meaningful, substantive content)".

What I didn't get was a link to the deleted page. As you may remember, the reason was given as "Article has no meaningful, substantive content." I wanted to see what the rejected content was. That is why I sent you the request and did not solicit you for questions as to why I did what I did. And yes, you do sound like a grumpy old man. (I know because I'm also an old man, who made chocolate phosphates as a teenage soda jerk in the early 1950s.) — Mursimon (talk) 02:15, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

  • I am going to persist with asking what you did because an understanding of links is vital for your education not only about Wikipedia but about all web pages. When I key chocolate phosphate (note that it must have a lower case p on the first of phosphate) I do not see any of the message you quote above. The only relevant thing that I see is 'You may create the page "Chocolate phosphate", but consider …'. You must have done something else to get to the page that says "RHaworth deleted". Please try and remember what that something else was. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:16, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
  • I see what you are saying as the same thing happens to me now when I type "chocolate phosphate" in the key field. But when I am reading this thread between you & I, clicking on the red link "chocolate phosphate" in my first sentence takes me to a page titled "Creating Chocolate phosphate" where the above message can be seen. It doesn't seem logical to me but that is what happens now. Sorry but I don't remember the exact order of things when I first got to that page. I do remember that when I first decided to create a page for Chocolate Phosphate and tried to save it as an empty page, I was told that the page was empty and did I want to continue to which I replied "yes".
  Or try clicking on this => chocolate phosphate       Mursimon (talk) 00:39, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Page deleted and reason not clear

Hello RHaworth, I had created a new page for our sequel movie since the first movie already had one. The new page titled "Surge of power: Revenge of the Sequel". When I got the email about copyright, I posted that I am the web designer for our team. This is the official text for the movie plot, and by me placing it there we are giving permission for it to be there. What if I put a link to the PDF presskit that the text came from? Let me know our team needs to get this page up ASAP. Thanks, Joe — Preceding unsigned comment added by COPC86 (talk • contribs) 17:14, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

deleted todd and clare wikipage

I saw that the Todd and Clare wiki page Todd_and_Clare was "speedy deleted" as it seemed to be an advert for the website. I agree that some aspects of the page (I checked the google cache of it) were less than neutral, but I wonder if you gave the authors a chance to fix the problems before nuking the page. As you may know, T&C Network Solutions is involved in a legal dispute with Julian Assange, and such information should be included on a wikipage about T&C, if such a page were actually visible.

Hi, RHaworth. I'd like to rewrite an article PATENTEM that was earlier deleted so that it could look more encyclopaedic and not selfpromoting, which, in fact, it's not.

Todd and Clare deletion.

This entity "Todd and Claire" is involved in an international news event, an alleged attempt to smear wikileaks founder Julian Assange. I have no problem with you locking the page, but the fact that it's possible the persons who created the "Todd and Clare" page are involved in criminal behavior means having some record of what they posted on wikipedia is essential for independent investigators. Please make it available again. At least allow it to be archived on the Wayback. Whether the page is advertising or not, it has historical value in this case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eggyolk2000 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
