Ksport deletion

Hi Steve, I saw that you had deleted my page on Ksport. Would you care to elaborate on why? I wasn't sure what was meant by "Autoline might be notable, but Ksport is not." Autoline is the parent company and US distributor of Ksport suspension products. I suppose that could have been made more clear, however, I didn't feel that it would result in a deletion.

If you'll let me know, I'll fix it and try again. Thank you.

UPDATE: I've done a little more research and I think this may have something to do with a lack of media coverage? Ksports race cars as well as teams using their parts are regularly featured in industry publications, as well as everyday folks with Ksport parts on their street cars.

I think you are mistaken about this - I neither proposed it for deletion (that was A Stop at Willoughby (talk · contribs) and seconded by TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs)) nor deleted it (it was deleted 7 days later by JIP (talk · contribs)). I had no involvement with this article or its deletion. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 09:41, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Autumn Moon Entertainment

Hello Phantomsteve. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Autumn Moon Entertainment, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Releasing a game that's notable enough to have its own article, is a credible assertion of notability for A7. PROD or take to AfD if required. Thank you. GedUK  20:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

reply to phantomsteve

My sincere thanks for your answer re:- 1st world war soldier of the Coldstream Guards Private Remnant. The letter I have addressed to his wife has a poem written in ink on the back, any clues on its author

                The Truth
              God and soldiers folks adore
              in times of war and not before
              When peace returns and all is righted
              God is forgotten and soldiers slighted.

I feel moved from the contents of the letter and the sentiment of the poem from my late father's aunty and will visit the war grave to show my respect. yours G45 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Perplex1943 (talk • contribs) 16:19, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I find references to the poem attributing it to both Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Jordan (1612-1686) (we don't have an article about him), Francis Quarles (see The Weekly Telegraph) This blog gives:

Our God and soldiers we alike adore,
Ev’n at the brink of danger; not before;
After deliverance, both alike requited,
Our God’s forgotten, and our soldiers slighted. – Frances Quarles, 1632

The book The final betrayal: the Armistice 1918-- and afterwards By Richard Garrett also says that it is Frances Quarles ("which put the matter even more succintly than had Kipling") - and Speed on the ship!: a centennial history of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, 1893-1993 by William duBarry Thomas which says "Admiral Wallin's paraphrase was not originally from Kipling, but from "Of Common Devotion" by an English religious poet, Francis Quarles (1572-1644)"

This forum quotes this:

God and Soldiers we adore
In times of trouble,
not before
When Trouble's gone and all things righted
God's forgotten and the soldier slighted. 

Kipling,
Someplace in Barracks-Room Ballads (1899) 

However, the Project Gutenberg transcript (here) doesn't have it in that book (the 1892/1896 versions anyway),

Bartleby's quotations says Quarles as well, and it's the one which seems to be most reliable.

Hope this helps, let me know if you want to know anything else! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 17:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Opinion Needed?

I was wondering if you'd give your opinion on this post, as that would be helpful. Thanks Paul2387 11:51, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Would you be able to help this user?

Hi Steve.

A new user Doson left a message on my talk page to help him with unifying his accounts. He's having problems with one account especially (the zh wikipedia account). Would you be able to chip in and help him? I left a message on admin Orangemike's talk page but guess he's not around. Thanks in advance. Best regards. ▒ ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ▒ _―Œ ^{♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣} 16:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

BLP issues

Hey Steve, I don't know if you came across Oswald Gracias and Pete Wilson (bass guitarist) by chance. If you look at the history you'll quickly see I'm having a disagreement with another editor about the removal of unrefBLP tags; that other user has mode dozens and dozens of edits similar to this, and I can't track them all down. I've asked them for an explanation (see their response on my talk page) but I am not satisfied. What do I do? Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:44, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I came across them as I have been working on the backlog of unref'd BLPs! With regard to Gracias, I added a couple of references, but I think there are more that could be added. With regard to Wilson, I couldn't find any reliable sources, hence the PROD. I am going to leave a message on your talk page addressed to both of you! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 14:50, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Steve. Drmies (talk) 14:56, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Steve, I removed the {{db-person}} on Wilson, as he seems to satisfy WP:BAND #6. I think this should be brought to AfD, though, as I'm not convinced of the claims in the article. Still, if there is a credible claim, it's not eligible for CSD A7, from my understanding. Joshua Scott (talk) 23:52, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Quite right, Joshua - I hadn't really noticed the claim about other bands - I only noticed the Icebreaker one, which seemed to clearly be false (I have just changed it so that the claim is not there, although mention of playing with them is). I will look again for sources, and if necessary PROD or AfD this later today or tomorrow. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:20, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Additional references for "Singapore International Energy Week" Wiki entry

Hi Steve, May I kindly propose the addition of three articles to the Wiki entry on the Singapore international Energy Week? The articles are all carried by the Japanese publication , Sankei Shimbun and written by their Singapore Bureau Chief, Mr Miyano Hiroyuki. 1. 【スマート・シンガポール】科学技術立国への戦略（１）自前のエネルギー確保へ - http://www.sankei.jp.msn.com/world/asia/100111/asi1001110807001-n1.htm 2. 【スマート・シンガポール】科学技術立国への戦略（２）ＥＶビジネス創出　 - http://sankei.jp.msn.com/world/asia/100118/asi1001180732001-n1.htm 3. 【スマート・シンガポール】科学技術立国への戦略（３）太陽光発電、欧州と提携 (1/3ページ) - http://www.sankeibiz.jp/macro/news/100125/mcb1001251003013-n1.htm

I have also edited the Wiki entry to include this year's edition of the event.

Hope to hear from you soon and feel free to share with me any feedback you might have.

Matthew.lim (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:13, 11 March 2010 (UTC).

Thanks for that Matthew. I will look at them later today (although it may not actually be until Monday, due to family commitments!) and add any relevant info to the Singapore International Energy Week article. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 07:21, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Ghani Khel (Clan)

Hello, I am the editor of the article of Ghazni khel (clan), which was deleted. I have a request to relist it because in discussion process only two neutral members participated and the editor Marwat is not a neutral person. Thanks.--Mahabat 11:31, 11 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahabat (talk • contribs)

As I said in the closing summary No evidence for the notability of the clan (as opposed to individual members of the clan) has been presented, and no RS produced by the opposers. Census is to delete. I see that this was declined for undeletion at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/Current requests#Ghazni Khel (Clan). I believe that my original assessment of the close was correct, but you are welcome to take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review - if others disagree with my close, it can either be re-opened or undeleted. Regards, -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 15:25, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Erasing metadata on pictures

Is it possible to for wikipedia? One of my pictures contains some of my personal information that I wasn't aware of at the time of uploading. I want to get rid of that. In case it cannot be done, please delete the image I just tagged so I can try and reupload it without worry of the metadata.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 09:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't know! You might want to ask at the Help Desk or perhaps Wikipedia_talk:Images? I think you'd probably have to edit the metadata on your computer before upload. I'd look at Major Geeks or [Tucows], they're the two sources I'd usually use for this kind of thing. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I went to delete it, and found it's been done! -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:12, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
