Thanks for helping with the spam--a proud author, looking to drum up sales for a new book. 99.0.83.41 (talk) 18:22, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem. =) Have you thought of creating an account? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:25, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I've had one for three years; over 30,000 edits, a passel of barnstars, started and worked on some features, now prefer to go incognito. Cheers, 99.0.83.41 (talk) 18:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Kill You (Dethklok Song)

Hello, Gogo Dodo … You declined the {{Db-song}} on this article because "artist's article exists" … you do realize that this is a fictitious band from the cartoon Metalocalypse, don't you? Happy Editing! — 141.156.175.125 (talk · contribs) _{05:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)}

Yes, I am quite well aware of that. The band's article still exists. It may be a "virtual band", but the article still exists, therefore CSD A9 does not apply. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Copy that … I just re-read WP:CSD#A9 and I guess I must have vapor-locked on the second criteria. :-) — 141.156.175.125 (talk) 05:25, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem. It is a newer speedy deletion reason and the second part of the criteria catches a lot of people. You aren't the first and won't be the last. =) You can PROD the article as it does not state why the song is notable. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

OK … I stuck a {{Prod}} on both this one and Can U Keep A Secret, my other speedy (by the same author) that you declined last night. — 141.156.175.125 (talk) 16:46, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Message from Abalinx

Hi,

I am responding to my current page contribution being deleted. I have read the contents regarding contributions and I can see that I may have not followed the guidelines. The abalinx website is a series of sites and blogs using the abalinx website as their main resource. The site provides on line resources to three main not for profit sites.

They are the Veteran, Pellana and the Hellenic sites. As I am a keen Wikipedia follower I do not want to add or contribute information that contradicts the rules and ethics of Wikipedia. My initial page insertion was from the website which contained everything. Please note that whilst I was attempting to reduce the information, I pressed the save button on each occasion not to lose what I had edited thus far.

I have reduced the information as indicated below for your judgment. The three main areas of concern piggy back the Abalinx resources for ease of cost reduction and for no other reason. If after viewing the information you feel that it is not within the boundaries of Wikipedia, I will accept your response most heartily. Thank you for the time and effort that you all put into making Wikipedia a fantastic source of information. Please respond to abalinx@netspace.net.au

Regards and I look forward to you response.

Still life with rice

Hey, I recreated this page which you previously deleted as vandalism. I agree that the user who previously created it was vandalising. Hope you don't mind that I went a head and created a "good" version. Cheers - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 06:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem, the first revision looked like good faith, so I did a google search and came up with a ton of hits :). You may want to keep an eye on the creator though. (and again, we need to slow down ;D. Anyway, looks like HG is dealing with them) - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 06:17, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

hello thank you for reverting the vandalism concerning "Rebecca Pickles". however, this is a shared IP address. I was able to sign in securely, and bypass the block. This is an inconvienience because i now have to edit wikipedia in https, which for some reason loads a lot slower. what is the best option? if you think that the block should remain in effect, then i understand, and i will use the secure wikipedia portal. thanks--Tim1357 (talk) 01:04, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me find a good reference for this article? I would really appreciate it. Thanks for your time, Sedna10387 (talk) 11:54, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

hello

thank you for the kind review... of my attempt at trying to get some focus with regards to the film.

If I did anything wrong then I apologize, I was not trying to review the film but mere state what the focus of the film is in its broader form. I see you have taken it down because probably you don't see it fit. I do apologize for any inconvenience.

All the best.

Please keep in contact and just tell me whether or not there is anything wrong I did but if it is "cool" then I have no problem with the exclusion of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuwikepedia (talk • contribs) 20:43, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

English Defence League

You are identified as having deleted the topic "English Defence League" on 1st August.

"04:55, 1 August 2009 Gogo Dodo (talk | contribs) deleted "English Defence League" ‎ (A7: Article about an eligible subject, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)"

FYI on Sat 8th August there was much media coverage in the UK of clashes and arrests following a confrontation between the English Defence League (an anti-islamic protest organisation) and the UAF (Unite Against Fascism) movement that organised a counter demonstration against what was perceived to be a provocative and race based protest in one of the most multicultural cities in the UK.

Examples of media reporting of the events: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/5999879/35-arrests-in-Birmingham-after-rival-protesters-clash.html http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKTRE5772GK20090808 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/08/10/the-battle-of-birmingham-115875-21586141/

I don't know what was on the original page, however you might like to reconsider its deletion as undoubtedly many people will be looking for information on the organisation, particularly now it and a similar organisations ("Casuals United") profile has been raised following the clashes with police and other protestors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.124.16.33 (talk) 12:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I checked the deleted article history and at the time there was no indication of the group's notability as there were no included references to their activities. However, these new references could the necessary coverage to establish the group's notability. You are welcome to create an account and restart the article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Heal The World Foundation edits...

Hi GD,

Well, I don't know a lot more about how to submit a change to an article than I did last month, but I do have some independent sources to cite now, proving that the "relaunched" Heal The World Foundation has no connection to Michael Jackson' estate.

Contrary to what is currently posted in the Wikipedia article, the external link to the "relaunched" HTWF is NOT a link to "Michael Jackson's official Heal The World Foundation website".

CBS New article dated yesterday: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/08/11/cbsnews_investigates/main5234202.shtml

This article states "...representatives of the Jackson estate say the foundation is not linked, "The Michael Jackson estate has no connection whatsoever to the "Heal the World Foundation” run by Melissa Johnson," said Terry Fahn, a spokesperson for John Branca, the special administrator of the Jackson estate."

How do I correctly cite this and update the article so that grieving MJ fans do not end up at the scam HTWF site donating money to someone who is under investigation?

There is a post on the scam site today quoting Wikipedia as "proof" that they are legitimate and that CBS News is wrong.

Please help me edit this article the right way and I will post the CBS link stating that Jackson's estate has nothing to do Melissa & Co.

Thanks!!

Thanks, GD!

I will now attempt to add edit the Heal The World Foundation article appropriately. Please look it over and tell me if I need to change something, or if I do something wrong.

It's my hope to really learn about Wikipedia and make contributions on a number of topics.

The editorial system seems to me to be excellent from the little I have experienced, but I know it must be a LOT of work. Thanks to you and all your peers for doing such a terrific job.

All41and14all (talk) 19:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, the fact that Michael Jackson's estate says that is has NO connection with this scam site has already been removed since you reviewed it and cleaned it up a few hours ago.

What is up with this? Why can't we get these edits to remain on the page?

How does an "anonymous" editor work?

Thanks for keeping your eye on this.

All41and14all (talk) 20:45, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, I am completely finished with my edit. I hope I did it right this time, as I don't plan to edit this article again unless "anonymous" changes it one more time. Or if there is major news, of course.

You have been a true help, and I sincerely appreciate it.

Hi GD,

I can see that I put too many spaces between lines, and some other space-wasting practices. But I am really pleased that I did a successful edit!

Today I was talking with some people at work about how important Wikipedia is worldwide, and the general consensus is that it rocks. Not perfect, but hey--we're all human. Hands down, people love Wikipedia.

It is a very valuable resource. Right now, I can only think of one other completely free site that brings so much value to the whole world, and that's craigslist.

It's a wonderful feeling to be even a small part of this.

You have been a great help.

All41and14all (talk) 23:39, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

GD, one final HTWF note:

I didn't understand how the history page worked or I would have spotted MJkid earlier. MJkid is the user name of Melissa Johnson, of scam HTWF fame. This finally explains where all the errors in the Wikipedia Heal The World Foundation article came from. Looks like she has edited it repeatedly.

MJkid is Melissa Johnson's user name on her own website, and also on the well-known Michael Jackson fan site www.mjjcommunity.com. You can see she has recently "edited" (deleted as much as possible) her own posts under this name at MJJCommunity: http://www.mjjcommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58378&page=2

About half way down the page, you will see a post from her from December 2008 which identifies her as the user MJkid, signed Melissa Johnson. She deleted the content of all of her posts on August 10, 2009 but could not get rid of them entirely.

This is not really important, but just FYI. I was pretty awestruck by the article history page. The more I learn about this site, the better it is.

Sterling M. Johnson

Hi....

This is my first page and I was trying to pay homage to a fellow serviceman and Marine. Please forgive me if I made any mistakes. I should explain....

I firmly believe that if it had not been for him, servicemen lives would have been lost that day. Through his skilled shooting, he saved the lives of many. In today's world, people like this should be acknowledged..don't you think?

I really hope you think so and share my sentiments. Please let me know what I need to do to get him relisted.

Thanks.

University of the arts

I see now why what I did there was incorrect. So how could I go about having the "University of the Arts (Philadephia)" page take the place of the "University of the Arts" page, and have the "University of the Arts" page go into University of the Arts (disambiguation)? In my mind this would be a better thing since University of the Arts is a unique term that refers only to University of the Arts in Philadelphia and the other place refer to University of the Arts in other places which would be better suited by a disambiguation page.

Would people have to come to consensus first, and then what could I do to make this happen? Is it possible? it is really just a really small thing.

You recently deleted my page Korean Vegetarian Group. Why?
