== ToonLoop request for undeletion ==

====[[:ToonLoop]]====

It has been proposed for deletion since it was judged as having a Software with no assertion of notability. I did not remove the {{dated prod}} notice quickly enough. The page was deleted due to a procedural deletion (or PROD) then I don't need to explain why I want it back...

It should be restored since there are many sources on the Internet that mention this software. I will improve the article with some sources.

Here are some sources that mention ToonLoop :

* the official site : http://www.toonloop.com/
* a video of a performance using it : http://vimeo.com/4697101
* an article about it on the Create Digital Motion blog : http://createdigitalmotion.com/2009/06/22/stop-motion-as-performance-toon-loop-free-realtime-tool-plus-a-modern-milkmaid/
* the original announcement page on the author's web site : http://alexandre.quessy.net/?q=toonloop
* its project page on the ohloh.net code review web site : https://www.ohloh.net/p/toonloop
* its project's source code repository on Google code : http://code.google.com/p/toonloop/

I Love You, I'm Sorry, and I'll Never Do It Again New Moon (1930 film)

The article I Love You, I'm Sorry, and I'll Never Do It Again was a very debated over page that i put a lot of hard work into, and i wish to have a copy for records, as well as the possible rework until it is suitable for remaking. If not, it would just be nice to have a record of my hard work. As for New Moon (1930 film), a fewminutes after i had created the article, a sign came up, saying speedy deletion for copyright inflingement. As soon as i saw it there, i promptly removed the "offending" words, and copyed it into a word document from where i could start to write it in my own words. As soon as i went back to the article (which was no longer inflinging on copyright), the article had been deleted. Please can the article be reinstated so i can continue to work on it?? If notm could i again just have it for memories?? Thanks.--Coin945 (talk) 12:12, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the latter to User:Coin945/New Moon (1930 film), because the user indeed already deleted a big portion of the text, and I have no doubt that they has the intention to fix the problem. As for I Love You, I'm Sorry, and I'll Never Do It Again, I would have send it to the user, but the user has no e-mail enabled, and I don't want to invest more time in this. — Sebastian 23:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ZER01: The Art and Technology Network

My article on Zer01 was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. I do not understand this because I have used References and External links just like any other article lists references and links. I beleive I have used these only as source of information but not as a source of sentences. Please let me know specifically where have I gone wrong.

I am writing this article on behalf of Zer01 to publish the information about this organisation just like other museums and festivals. I have gone through other articles like Ars Electronica, Edinburgh festival and have tried to write my article on the same lines. What is the reason for putting it under section G12?

I request for undeletion of my article so that I have a chance to improve it and seek help on it.

I'm new to page creation but thought I had done everything right for the page Mmd. It was marked for speedy deletion and this is the first time I've logged on and it is already gone.

It said I hadn't explained why it was important. If I can get the page back, then I will!

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psychology_of_torture&oldid=261745282 The article should be restored to this version. I tried, but it won't revert. Perhaps this is a lack of programming language skill on my part. WLU: what is 'scorched earth policy'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Permaculturedesigner (talk • contribs)

  • Nothing was actually deleted per se. The information is right there in the history. If you like you may restore that revision, but you will have to do so manually. "Scorched earth" here refers to the broad removal of unsourced or dubious claims. The editor cut the page down from 20,000 bytes to 3000, drastically reducing its size. That's what they were referring to. I suggest you bring up an objection about this on the article talk page. Protonk (talk) 21:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cryan Tennis Tournament

[[:

]] ([[|talk]]|edit|history|logs|[[Special:WhatLinksHere/ |links]]|watch) (article|XfD|[[Special:Undelete/ |restore]]) I would like to appeal the decision to delete the page Cryan Tennis Tournament. The tournament is a major event in the area, it provides a reason for the tennis community in Central Jersey and beyond to gather each year to watch players from out of the area compete for prize money as well as compete against local players. In other words, this event important in building the local tennis community and important to the community at large. The site had many visitors and a number of editors. There are numerous articles in local newspapers regarding the tournament every year, the tournament has a site (www.cryantennis.com), and the Wikipedia page is viewed and discussed by a large number of folks year around - the site is well used and valuable to the community. I can provide newspaper articles and testimony from fans and particapants if necessary. Thank you for your consideration. Jim Cryan, email: cryantennis@gmail.com.

 Not done This article was deleted as a result of a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cryan Tennis Tournament, so restoring it to article space is outside of our scope here. We can userfy it for you, if you think you can address the issues in the discussion, or you can take the deletion decision to deletion review. (I'd also suggest reading WP:COI, given your user name).--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:25, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anitanesbitt (talk) 20:27, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I'd say the {{hangon}} tag was a clear attempt to contest the prod, so it shouldn't have been deleted in the first place. Please note, however, that it can still be taken to WP:AFD, so you might want to spend some time tightening up the text and adding more inline sources.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 23:32, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A7 did not apply, as the article had quite a few assertions of importance. I have not contacted the deleting admin, as he appears retired. Cheers, everyone. lifebaka++ 03:16, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under such conditions, is process really needed? I'd be inclined to restore any A7'd article I thought useful if the deleting admin did not object. Regards,  Skomorokh  03:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No. It's just a convenient place for people to contact you. REFUND is really just a central location for Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles. Protonk (talk) 03:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted as it was claiming to be promoting a business, but it is not it is refering to a convention, I used the same format as Eirtakon, another convention in Ireland, I do not see why this page should be deleted, when eirtakon is allowed on here, as they are the same types of funtions,

Genesisgoboom

  • Seems to me to be a relatively standard speedy deletion. There is no indication from the article why the subject is important to a general encyclopedia. All it states is that a convention will occur next year and that the website for said convention is under construction. If and when the convention occurs and there is coverage of it by reliable sources you may recreate the article. If you like, I can place a copy of the article in your userpage or email it to you.

 Done However, the article could end up at AfD because of the notability issues cited in the prod. You might want to check out Wikipedia:Notability for ideas on how to show notability.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 21:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

H2Olympia

My current re-write is at User:MemeGirl/H2Olympia. I didn't have enough notability information in the articl and so was deleted using speedy delete. I then added quite a bit more. The group has had 2 name changes during it's inception, both are cited in the reference materials. (It's Still the Water to H2Oly: Artesian Well Advocates to H2Olympia: Artesian Well Advocates). There is not currently a source for the EXACT current name, but it's essentially the same group.

Looks like you're getting help on your talk page. I'll mark this as

Tashkent

I think my contributions would make the Tashkent page more useful and utility of the page would increase. The information was unique, Lately updated, and most usefull for any body interested in Tashkent. A can not even imagine that a sane human being would delete that. Only Robot can do. The links were not against the policy of Wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Harleytourism (talk • contribs)

The Tashkent article itself wasn't deleted, so this doesn't fall under our scope here. When another editor changes your contributions and you disagree with their changes, you can talk about it on the article's talk page, ask the editor involved for an explanation, and if those two methods fail, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. (A friendly piece of advice is that you'll get a bit farther on this if you read WP:CIVIL, which discourages things like questioning the sanity of others and calling them robots.) Hope that helps! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:48, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, this is a case where WP:AGF can help: There is a cultural difference between Americans and people from other areas in the world. When someone in Uzbekistan says "[I] can not imagine ...", that may very well be what they mean. (The new user was probably honestly baffled by the deletion; and for a new user, it may not not be easy to know which edits are performed manually, and which by bots.) An American, on the other hand, habitually translates such a statement to "you are insane!", which is very convenient because it gives him (or her — gotta be cautious here!) the attested right to take that as an offense and to sue the other person. Anyway, I'm not sure the new user sees this reply, so I'll leave a note on their talk page. — Sebastian 17:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bigairbag

I would like to know why my entry for Bigairbag was deleted. I put a note {holdon} as requested and explained quite clear why do i think the entry should NOT be deleted. Why the entry was deleted Without providing an explanation on myTalk page?

Simeona Petkova

Your best bet is to ask the deleting administrator, Stifle (talk · contribs). All we could tell you here is exactly what is on the page's log.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 21:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Another thought, after a conversation with Sebastian. If you're only looking for an explanation, talking to Stifle is the way to go. If you'd like the page restored, let us know and we'll be happy to do it. Neither Sebastian or I see that the page clearly met the speedy deletion criteria.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:58, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

¡Arcadia!

this page was deleted immediately after posting without even given the chance to be changed and allowed to add things to the page honestly the administrator was being a dick not giving this page a chance — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArcadiaBand (talk • contribs)

 Not done There are a lot of issues here, so it's probably best if I leave a detailed explanation on your talk page. In short, restoring a page about your band that's been protected after you created it four times is outside of our scope here.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:33, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ROME REPORTS

You keep erasing the external links that I have placed for Vatican City and pointing at ROME REPORTS, which is an ACCREDITED NEWS AGENCY OF THE VATICAN itself. We do have special agreement with the VATICAN TV to use their images in order to provide people with accurate and timely news about the Vatican and the Pope. THESE NEWS ARE FREE. Please restore the link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palio News (talk • contribs)

This seems to be an editing issues, not an article deletion issue. I'd suggest reading Wikipedia:External links, then starting a discussion at Talk:Vatican City on why you think these links help the article. I am a bit concerned from what you wrote above that you may have a conflict of interest in adding the links, so reading WP:COI may also help you.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:PatPeter's Subpages

I really don't want to have to individually link every single article, but I was blocked about a year ago and have been unblocked for 6+ months. I was wondering if someone could restore all the red links on my userpage. I believe I removed all controversial subpages I might have had. The only non-userspace pages are Template:Babel2 and Template:AFK, Babel2 was priceless to me, and I do not remember the extent of AFK.

Babel2 was used by several users other than myself, I assume they have since removed the template, but it was a nice idea for Babel.

Is it a procedural deletion to delete the subpages of a blocked user? If not, then reasons would be that they are my subpages for those, and for Babel2 and AFK, that they were good ideas for templates, moreso Babel2, and restoring them to Template: namespace shouldn't do any harm.

-PatPeter 04:53, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, it would be a lot easier on us if you listed the pages here instead of making us hunt them down. I don't see a problem with restoring the few I looked at, and will get to them bit by bit.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 21:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've got them all. If I missed any, please list them here.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:14, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW? And I thought it would be just as easy to just go to my page to restore the red links as if I listed them here, if not easier, most of my red links were in sections of their own anyway.

One that was deleted and changed in the past year was Template:Sleep, I don't know how it works but if you just restore the first versions of it I could probably nip the code and move it to Template:Sleeping.

You have my thanks Fabric, I am very glad to finally have a userpage not filled with red. I'll reply to your message on my talk page, then send you a {{talkback}}. -PatPeter 00:23, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW==For what its worth. Protonk (talk) 00:42, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, not in my internet dialect of high usage. -PatPeter 03:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So any work on Template:Sleep and restoring edits? -PatPeter 04:08, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I found that a number of my pages had talk pages deleted from them, combined with sleep:
Restoration appreciated, thanks again for all your hard work guys (or just Fabric). -PatPeter 22:27, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Everything except the bits in {{Sleep}} restored. I'm not sure what to do w/ those. Can I copy/paste the last good revision of it and leave it in a post on your talk page? Protonk (talk) 04:45, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can't you restore all previous deletions of a page by going in the same interface you would to delete the page? If you just restored the edits on the page I can flip back through it and find the best edit, the most recent might not be the best because of all that has been done with it. -PatPeter 04:07, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Problem is it is transcluded to a bunch of pages and when I restore the old revision it becomes the current revision until I change back to the now-current revision. I don't want like a hundred article pages w/ "this editor is sleeping" on them getting cached and what-not. Protonk (talk) 04:11, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Law Society (University College Dublin)

As the article itself shows, the UCD Law Society is one of the most well known student societies in Ireland. Past auditors of the society include two former Chief Justices, a former Irish Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and numerous other Irish legal and political figures. On top of that, many international dignitaries have been recipients of society honours. If the article contained excessive hyperbole it should have been edited. Its deletion was too drastic.It should also be noted that other student society pages remain undeleted such as the Trinity College Philosphical and Historical Societies and the Literary and Historical Society of University College Dublin. The Law Society, University College Dublin. UCDLawsoc (talk) 19:10, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article was deleted as a result of a community discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Law Society (University College Dublin) (2nd nomination)), so administrators don't have the authority to restore it. The main problem with the article was not that it was hyperbolic, but that the society lacks notability, which in Wikipedia terms means that it has not been shown that reliable independent sources (such as national broadsheet newspapers, academic journals or scholarly books) have written about the society.  Skomorokh  19:18, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information. The deletion was so speedy that there wasn't time to obtain references to its notability - many of which are in subscription archives.

Dear Wikipedia I would the Shaun_Rogerson page to made into a sandbox on my profile so i can make the necessary adjustments to fix it according to Wikipedia guidelines.

I hope you help me thanks

Please have a read of WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC and make sure the topic meets them before moving it back into the encyclopaedia; if it is not significantly improved, it will likely be quickly deleted again.
