Pauli Rodriguez

Please relist Pauli Rodriguez wikipedia article. If appeal democrat is notable then why did you accept a wikipedia article about them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal-Democrat. I was also noted in the Sacramento Bee several times, the capital newspaper of California and several times in the Appeal. I was also noted in several other newspapers in California. Please relist my article. Thank you!

maybe you should take the appeal democrat and sacramento bee articles down along with many others. Please remove me from the conflict of interest page, I want to add to my Pauli Rodriguez article. Pauli Rodriguez is a noteworthy person.

Good morning

Please explain why this page is not allowed. To me it seems a normal wiki page for an existing and authentic website Linksite.net. For example why is this page accepted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starting_Point_Directory and mine not? I don´t see much difference on the page build up neither of the function of the starting point directory website itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamaica1985 (talkcontribs) 15:39, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

what is wrong with you?

Please tell me why you have deleted my Echo's of yesterday article? send me a email at ob.rocket69@gmail.com just tell me why! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ob.rocket69 (talkcontribs) 13:13, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

See the message left on your talk page before the article was deleted. --Pontificalibus (talk) 13:15, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

That message still does not tell me what you found wrong with my article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ob.rocket69 (talkcontribs) 13:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

This is the part of that message I was refering to:
"This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia."
I suggest reading WP:MUSIC for guidleines on what makes a band sufficiently notable for inclusion. --Pontificalibus (talk) 13:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organisations, web content). does that mean that i have to indicate on the page why it is important or do you have to find it important? The band has a growing fan base and i think there are 277 registered fans(although not a lot but still important people) that agree that the page is important —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ob.rocket69 (talkcontribs) 13:38, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Did you read WP:MUSIC, specifcally the criterea in WP:BAND? You need to indicate in the article how it meets any of those criterea listed at WP:BAND. An article about a band that doesn't meet those criterea will be deleted. --Pontificalibus (talk) 13:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Why the hell would you delete my article

You deleted my article called 'David Rush (singer)'. What the hell? My username is AAJKP. Answer me back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AAJKP (talkcontribs) 16:54, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

An admin deleted the article, not me, I just flagged it for deletion because it did not indicate how the subject was eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia. See the message on your own talk page for further information. --Pontificalibus (talk) 17:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Merkwelt

I have problems referencing, but I have enough sources to provide a good claim that it is noteworthy. While it may be a technical concept, it is a highly used one. Google searches prove nothing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danrules2 (talkcontribs) 09:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Then I suggest you contribute to the discussion. Please don't remove the deletion template form the article. --Pontificalibus (talk) 09:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

But really, if I can support it with references why add a deletion notice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danrules2 (talkcontribs) 09:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Nicholas Dubee

Hey I noticed you deleted my page about Nicholas Dubee. One of my friends happened to go in and change some stuff around while on my account making stupid facts or comments. The reason i made the page was because Nick Dubee right now is one of the premier high school athletes in Rhode Island. He is number one in the state for soccer, and he is one of the best runners of the 110m Hurdles in New Enlgand. I have articles to back up the success that Nick Dubee has had including... ([1][2][3] These articles prove every fact made about Nick Dubee minus obviously fake things. So if you could please put the Nicholas Dubee page back up it would be much appreciated cause I put a lot of work into it, and if you absolutely can't put i back up i would like a copy of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeolean (talkcontribs) 00:28, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Ralph Allen's Town House, Bath

Hi, Well done for starting Ralph Allen's Town House, Bath as you may have spotted I've been working on Grade I listed buildings in Somerset. Can I suggest you look at Template:Infobox Historic building for this (& other) articles? Would you to look for an appropriately licenced photo?— Rod talk 19:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Great, will use the box. I had quick look for a photo online but couldn't find a suitable one. I will shortly look through my stack of old hardcopy pics of Bath for one, and any others that might be useful to upload. Pontificalibus (talk)
Thanks - watch out for copyright issues though.— Rod talk 19:59, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Green Man section removal

Thank-you for your help; you were quite right in removing the section since I omitted the cites. But I got them in, and with the help of SiGarb they are all cleaned up. I hope the Modern Images section adds to the article.Dgu56 (talk) 19:19, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Question

how do you get that horizontal line when you edit and how do you get those boxes with information in it? Parker1297 (talk) 14:48, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmm

I am reverting your swine flu edit - that was a waste of time deleting that part. See you in block court! (joking) Rory (talk) 10:10, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, DANG! Time for edit war! Rory (talk) 10:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Reverting

Please don't revert too quickly, it just wastes time when I have to undo it and apply the correct reference, which you could have done quite easily instead of removing the data. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Allan87 (talkcontribs) 14:18, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Assuming you're refering to Template:2009 swine flu outbreak table, it would be better to avoid confusion if you updated the reference in the same edit as you update the data. --Pontificalibus (talk) 14:22, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Indeed it would be, unfortunately my browser had a spasm and submitted the data prematurely, nonetheless only a reference change was needed instead of removing the data.

Swine flu talkpage

Hi. I notice that you just reverted my archiving of that soppy conspiracy-theory section as "unwarranted" - seconds before deleting the entire section, something that I considered and couldn't be bothered to face the trouble for. However, in future, it's probably worth checking more carefully whether or not someone's archiving is justified, since mine clearly was in this case, as (to your credit) you subsequently noticed. Thanks! ╟─TreasuryTagcontribs─╢ 16:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I misread my screen and thought the author archived. Anyway i think it's better such things be deleted --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I guessed, just worth actually reading through stuff first (as it happened, that section was rather a laugh, anyway!). As for deleting the sections, I tend to agree, but it wasn't really a direct violation of WP:FORUM - vaguely mentioning adding stuff to the article, albeit original research. But I doubt anyone'll kick up a fuss about it being removed! Cheers. ╟─TreasuryTagcontribs─╢ 16:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Institute of HeartMath article

Hello:

Can you please provide any suggestions on how you think I should redo the Institute of HeartMath article that was tagged for deletion on May 11 to make it acceptable.

I did not intend for it to come across as promotional and would appreciate any assistance.

I understand that many of the concepts such as "heart intelligence, emotional management" and "test anxiety" among others would not be familiar to many people, but they are familiar to a great number of people internationally and in scientific and medical communities around the world.

The terms Wikipedia volunteer someguy1221 used to characterize the Institute of HeartMath were "db-copyvio, unremarkable organisation, spam, verging on nonsense," which, except for "db-copyvio," appear to critiques of the organization and its ideas, rather than actual causes for deletion.

Assuming "db-copyvio" refers to copyright violation, I couldn't find any violations.


Any help would be appreciated.

Institute of HeartMath article

Thank you for your response. The notability requirement applies in this case with professional journals, newspapers, magazines, television, radio, etc., so I will see what I can do.

Your reply included the following: "To avoid copyright violations you must not copy and paste text from anywhere else, even your own website, and ensure the writing is in your own words."

The material was all in my own words. Is it possible that the "anywhere else" to which you are referring includes a Word document, which is where I created the article and from which I copied it? I then placed it on the Wikipedia page. Does even that type of copy-and-paste actually leave a record on the Wikipedia page?

Thank you, again.

  • Why are you afraid to let it go now? It's blatant advertising, it obviously fits a speedy criterion, and speedy and AFD can overlap. You'd rather just let this crap sit in AFD for a week or longer when it can very easily be gone now? I swear, everyone's far too cautious with speedies these days. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many ottersOne batOne hammer) 21:44, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
It's obviosuly badly written, but I was having a go at finding sources, as employees are widely quoted in google news archives. I wanted to finish my work and add the positive or negative results to the discssion before article was removed. AfDs are intended for disputed speedys and PRODs so there was no need to keep reverting my removal of the tag. As it happens I am now confident that there are not sufficent sources to support notability and have added this to the AfD. --Pontificalibus (talk) 21:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you tagged this as a test page. This is a user's sandbox and not in article mainspace, so test page is exactly what it is and not a reason to delete. Maybe you thought it was in the mainspace? Law type! snype? 10:30, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Removing speedy deletion templates

Hi, I noticed you removed a couple of speedy deletion templates I added to articles, not because you disagreed that the article met the deletion critera, but because the article had "only just been created".

If you check out the new pages patrol, you will see that it is common practice on Wikipedia to review new pages and tag for deletion any that do not meet critera for inclusion.

There is no requirement to leave an article hanging around on the off-chance that the creator will come back and revise it to meet the inclusion critera. Mainspace is not intended as a place to work on articles that do not meet the inclusion criterea. You can always move the article to the user's namespace if you wish, but removing db templates is unhelpful as it doesn't inform the author that their article is not up to standard. Also it means that unsuitable articles get left in mainspace possibly for some considerable time, as reviewing newly created pages is the easiest way to identify them. --Pontificalibus (talk) 08:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I think you're right that there is no requirement to leave an article hanging around on the off-chance that the creator will come back and revise it. There is also no requirement to delete it, and no administrator is obligated to speedy delete an article because it meets any or many of the criteria. With that out of the way, I want to give new users a chance to write their articles because speedy deleting an article minutes after it is posted may be discouraging to them. See Wikipedia:Don't bite the newcomers. If you want to tag an article that was created minutes ago and you believe that a user will not return to improve the article, you might consider using {{PROD}} instead. Thanks, --Ryan Delaney talk 12:12, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Pontificalibus. I semi-protected the Two Brothers Brewing due to disruptive edits by an IP. You then requested the article was unprotected, so it was. The IP has again deleted large sections of the article, so I have again protected it. I do feel that giving the article semi-protection for a week is appropriate in the circumstances as the IP is not responding to negotiations and warnings. Without protection of the article the likely outcome is that the IP will get blocked. Semi-protection at least allows the IP to continue discussion on the article talkpage and on the talkpage of WikiProject Beer. If you feel my action is inappropriate let me know, and we can perhaps decide on an alternative approach. Regards SilkTork *YES! 10:42, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry but your semi-protection of this page does not conform to policy. As only 1 IP is involved, they can be blocked and discussion about their contributions can continue on their talk page, which they would still be able to edit. Preventing every IP from editing the page is not a proportional or necessary outcome. --Pontificalibus (talk) 11:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
I don't follow your interpretation of the Semi-protection policy, though I do understand that the alternative to semi-protecting the article for seven days is to wait until the disruption has reached a point where the IP is blocked. Given that all the IP edits of the article since it was created have been vandalism, it appears more reasonable and appropriate and causes less drama and conflict to protect the article against IP edits for a short while, and allow the person who feels that the article is inappropriate to make comments where they will be viewed. The IP's own talkpage is out of sight and out of mind, and so is not, to my mind, a reasonable and appropriate forum to discuss the article. My thinking here is to be as reasonable as possible, and not create a situation where a person is blocked, nor where an article is continually disrupted. SilkTork *YES! 16:20, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Well just look at the third paragraph of the "Removing speedy deletion templates" on your talk page.

Windsor Castle in Smithfield, Virginia

Pontificalibus, I understand your reasons for moving Windsor Castle Park to Windsor Castle Manor House. I struggled over this myself as it is easy to understand the confusion that could exist with the "real" Windsor Castle. I don't consider Windsor Castle Manor House to be appropriate because a park is being built there that will include many features beyond the manor house. I have moved the page to Windsor Castle in Smithfield, Virginia. I would like to keep a redirect from Windsor Castle Park as that is how the park is known locally and that is how it is identified in the Smithfield, Virginia article.

Apologies and Question

Howdy, Sorry to see that my account has had vandalisms filed against it, that will teach me to leave my Macbook logged in. However, as a concerned parent I would like to know why the letter has been removed from the article? As a member of the school parents group, I have had several requests to upload it to the Wikipedia article as it is deemed to be a piece of knowledge that should be viewable by all as some parents do not have parental responsibilities for their children and were not issued with a letter as only one letter was sent home with their child. However, several fathers have asked to view the letter as they are worried about what this could mean for the son or daughter at the school. Thanks for your time and consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CubertForTheTruth (talkcontribs) 16:08, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Information on Wikipedia needs to be referenced. You can't simply add statements, especially controversial ones, without giving a reference. Otherwise no one will be able to tell if the statement is true or not. Please read Citing Sources for more information. --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:15, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


Not to sound rude or anything, but if an establishment will not publicly make a statement on an issue like this on their website then how am I to cite a source for it? The only source for it I have is http://clc2.uniservity.com/GroupNewsItem.asp?GroupID=21330&NewsID=51402 and that just merely tells of an important letter being sent home? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CubertForTheTruth (talkcontribs) 16:21, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a newswire service. When the known facts are published in a reliable source, then the information can be added to the article. --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:23, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

So the establishment's own website is not a reliable source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.216.231 (talk) 16:37, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

That website merely says a letter has been sent, it does not say what the letter is about. If anything notable has happened, it won't be long before it's published in the local paper for example, and then it can be added to Wikipedia. --Pontificalibus (talk) 16:42, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Regarding PROD

When I edited the article, the PROD tag was, for some reason, removed already, though it did not show in the history. This was probably a problem with my computer, and I understand my mistake. It's my understanding now that the article is in the process of a speedy deletion, and I believe that this is the right course.

I'm on kind of a speedy delete spree right now, while going through the new pages, so I'm suprised at myself for this. Thanks for catching the mistake. --Delta1989 (talk/contributions) 21:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

This user is back at EDL forcing his will on others... despite the unusual name. I'm wondering if it's a sock of anyone. Any ideas? Verbal chat 16:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
