Request reason:

"I apologize for reporting you and warning you. I was asked to step in and help with the situation. I looked briefly at the article and at your edits and assumed that you were just another jerk adding crap to piss people off. I was wrong. I should have taken more time to examine the situation, and I did not and for that I am sorry. I see that you're in fact trying to help, and not hurt Wikipedia. Ganfon 21:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)"

I hate to have to tell you this, but Wikipedia doesn't accept original work. See WP:NOR, and also WP:VAIN. Sorry. --John Nagle 08:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you deleted the Articles for Deletion marker. You can argue against deletion, but deleting the Articles for Deletion tag does not help your case. --John Nagle 08:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

It's not enough for an article to be interesting. It has to be notable. "Notable" has specific meaning on Wikipedia. See WP:WEB for what makes a web page notable, and WP:SOFT for what makes a piece of software notable. It's not just you; about a thousand articles a day are deleted from Wikipedia. Yes, you can add anything, but that doesn't mean it stays in. Also, since your user name is "NIreland" and the article is about "Nick Ireland", it's assumed that you are writing about yourself.

You can argue against deletion, by writing your argument on the article's Articles for Deletion page, but deleting the Articles for Deletion template won't stop the process. --John Nagle 08:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Your {{db-spam}} tagging of Dave Winer

I removed the {{db-spam}} tag that you added to Dave Winer because the article is not blatant advertising. As I replied on the article's talk page, you will need to list the article in AfD if you believe that the article should be deleted. Note that I am not stating my opinion on whether the article should be deleted, just what procedure you need to follow. -- Gogo Dodo 08:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: You tagged the article for speedy deletion due to it being blatant advertising, which the article is not. If you have issues with the factuality of the article, you can use the appropriate disputed templates. Or you can opt to request that the whole article be deleted by listing it in an AfD. -- Gogo Dodo 17:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Please restore the AfD banner you removed from Dave Winer

Hello Nirelan. I don't understand why you removed the AfD banner from the Dave Winer article, after User:Random832 nominated the article for deletion, apparently as a favor to you, and you participated in the actual deletion debate.

Note that removal of the deletion banner is cited as vandalism by WP:VANDAL:

Avoidant vandalism

"Removing {{afd}}, {{copyvio}} and other related tags in order to conceal deletion candidates or avert deletion of such content. Note that this is often mistakenly done by new users who are unfamiliar with AfD procedures and such users should be given the benefit of the doubt and pointed to the proper page to discuss the issue."

Since your contribution record is so short, you must be a new user. Please try to help us take your views seriously by following the expected policy steps. EdJohnston 03:01, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

On User_talk:EdJohnston you replied:

"I removed it becuase they cleaned up the article. The template says that should be left there until the disscussion is resolved and it was definatily resolved because the only person that felt the article should be changed is now happy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nirelan (talk • contribs) 26 January 2007"

I'm afraid this is not how the process goes. It's not up to you to decide when the debate gets closed. Normally the person who closes it is an administrator, and he follows the steps given in Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Closure. Please put the banner back on, and you can still avoid being cited for vandalism. EdJohnston 03:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

TALK page

Please raise your objections in the talk pages of articles where you have an issue with the way things are phrased or how the article is organized, not by blanking entire sections or articles without discussion. --Random832(tc) 04:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I feel exactly the same as the person above. In order for you to make such drastic changes in articles you will, in the future, need to site all your sources. I will watch very closely at the few articles that you seem to have problems with and perhaps together we can fairly improve their quality. If you wish to vandalize articles by erasing entire sections without cause and making bold claims as to why you feel entitled to do so, you will be subsequently reported for your vandalism. Have a nice day.Testerer 19:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Apologies

I apologize for reporting you and warning you. I was asked to step in and help with the situation. I looked briefly at the article and at your edits and assumed that you were just another jerk adding crap to piss people off. I was wrong. I should have taken more time to examine the situation, and I did not and for that I am sorry. I see that you're in fact trying to help, and not hurt Wikipedia. Ganfon 21:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
