Why was the page deleted? Can't it be incubated instead to enable further improvement? I am not sure what is needed to make the page better. If you let me know I can add the required sources. I would appreciate if it can be kept for a few more days to allow me to add content that I am working with some other editors to get from Sri Lanka archives.

To those leaving messages: Try to keep them brief and to the point. Posts that are too lengthy may not get a timely response. Thank you. To those leaving RfA thankspam: Consider yourself welcomed. I appreciate the thought, but they tend to take up a lot of my page and archives, and I really don't need them for anything. Wizardman

Hi I disagree with your deletion of the page Synchrony IOL this is not advertising, it is provided needed information about a new medical device that is on the market in Europe and soon will be in the US. I am a cataract sufferer and I was surprised to learn about this product and think it is important for others to know about other potential IOLs soon to be on the market —Preceding unsigned comment added by Synchronycreator (talkcontribs) 05:34, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Wizardman,

Can you please provide me with the text of the article you deleted so that I can merge it into Anderson University? Thanks, --PinkBull 22:49, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. But at second thought I think it would be more consistent with Wikipedia's attribution policies that the original article with its full contribution history be redirected. Please let me know if I am incorrect.--PinkBull 15:32, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider your "delete" close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Top 100: NFL's Greatest Players. All of the delete votes were based on an earlier version that was essentially just the NFL's list of players, and most of these votes were based on the perceived copyvio. However, the copyvio was removed, and I then completely re-wrote the article so that it was about the 10-part NFL Network television series that presented the results of the list. There were no delete votes after I did so. Thank you. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:05, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Not to be in hurry or anything, I would like to know when you are planning to review 2010 Sylvania 300. I would like to know to see how much time I will have to fix it and I'm just a little nosy. :) Nascar1996 18:25, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you, and you might be busy, but it is a reasonable question. You said you would review the article soon. Exactly how long is soon? Nascar1996 21:23, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I finished it all, and I removed a few extras that you didn't mention. Nascar1996 04:12, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Signpost: 22 November 2010

I'm really concerned about this article's reliance on the 1894 edition of the ODNB. I have online access to the latest version, so would you have any objections if I were to check and update the citations against that? Obviously if I find any discrepancies between the two versions then I'll flag that up for you to fix. Malleus Fatuorum 00:34, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here's the first:
  • The article says in the Loss of the Colossus section that "No lives were lost in the sinking, but Sir William Hamilton's collection was lost with her". What the ODNB says though is that there was one casualty, and that "many of Sir William Hamilton's less valuable treasures ... were lost", not that his entire collection was lost.
  • In the French Revolutionary Wars section the article says that "He was present at the Action of 23 April 1794 of Guernsey, where Warren's four frigates fought an engagement with three French frigates and a corvette, capturing two frigates and the corvette." The ODNB makes no mention of any action in 1794 involving Murray. Shouldn't that be "off Guernsey" as well?
  • Also in the French Revolutionary Wars section the article says "The Nymphe however saw little of the fighting, being some way off as the action began", but the ODNB makes no such claim.

GT -> FT

WP:Featured topics/Mesozoic mammals of Madagascar was promoted as a GT, but is now an FT as Lavanify became an FA some time ago. Can you make the adjustments in the counts etcetera or should I do it? Ucucha 13:02, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Ucucha 16:41, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax article

Greetings. I have twice marked the article Illumination (Stratovarius album) as a blatant hoax/speedy deletion candidate, but the user insists on re-creating it. He has done so three times now. At this point I'm unsure of what to do, so perhaps you may be able to help. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:09, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Puerto rican wet willy

I'm contesting the deletion of the post "puerto rican wet willy" it references nothing sexual and holds no bad content. As the ability to contest it on the post has been removed, I'm messaging you directly.
