Notability on a specification description

Hi. I am the creator of the article (and technology) Jsonwsp. I can see you have added the notability and unreferenced flags to the article. Jsonwsp is a new technology which is partly in development. I don't write articles on wikipedia every day, and this one is about a community project. Anyone with the sufficient programming skills who wishes to participate can be added as a project developer.

I'm curious about what kind of citations and references I need to add given the fact that it is a new technology? I have already linked to the actual specification and to the jsonwsp inspiration source JSONRPC, in the article I try only to stick to the facts. I will add some more references to the technologies jsonwsp builds on, but I don't have anyone to cite... Sorry :-)

Hi again - I have added the relevant references I can identify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakobsg (talk • contribs) 11:41, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As it's so new it could struggle to pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines if it went to a deletion discussion. Just try to find as many reliable sources as you can. E. Fokker (talk) 17:13, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion for Moshe Stern

Hello. I created a page for Moshe Stern that was pegged for deletion. I explained in the discussion page why he is deserving of a wikipedia entry, but the page was deleted nonetheless. I don't understand. Thank youRebyid613 (talk) 23:21, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was speedy deleted due to a lack of any claim of importance or significance. See notability for more info. E. Fokker (talk) 23:50, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know. But then I explained how it was important and significant...Rebyid613 (talk) 05:24, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You could ask the admin who deleted it if they would undelete and add it to your userspace where you could work on it. E. Fokker (talk) 20:07, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your name was there. I thought you were the one who deleted it. Rebyid613 (talk) 20:32, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm not an admin. See the speedy deleted link above, it was RHaworth. I requested its deletion, an admin makes the decision whether or not to actually delete. E. Fokker (talk) 21:12, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Michaela McAreavey Page

You recently attached to this page a speedy deletion request. This page has since been reintroduced and I hope it meets the required standards on this occasion.--Ciaran M (talk) 22:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved it to a new title as her notability is only due to her being a murder victim. E. Fokker (talk) 22:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not true, Michaela is a very notable figure in Irish culture which was relfective in the fact that the President of Ireland and the deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland attended her funeral. Her father Mickey Harte is a key figure in the GAA. I guess all I am saying is with respect do any/more research in future. Thanks --Ciaran M (talk) 23:21, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Having a notable father does not make you notable. Most people would not have heard of her until her murder.^{[citation needed]} E. Fokker (talk) 23:22, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Apart from being someone notable's daughter what would she have done to warrant an encyclopedia entry? E. Fokker (talk) 23:31, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay, I'll answer a question with a question. Apart from being someone notable's daughter what would Chelsea Clinton have done to warrant an encyclopedia entry?--Ciaran M (talk) 23:36, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Are you seriously comparing a daughter of a US President with a daughter of a manager of an Irish football team. Nice try. E. Fokker (talk) 23:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Certainly not, nevertheless the point stands that many articles exist solely because the person in which the article is about is known because of their family. I believe that meets criteria for an article on its own.--Ciaran M (talk) 00:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm sure you do, but you'd be wrong. E. Fokker (talk) 00:42, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have added references for Sandeep Khurana wiki page

Hello, I have added references for Sandeep Khurana wiki page, improved the layout, added internal links and more information.

Hope this fulfils the requirements.

Thank you, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skportfolios (talk • contribs) 17:54, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly good enough to warrant the removal of the deletion template. E. Fokker (talk) 18:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion of Recycle Across America

Hello, I am writing here because I'm not quite sure why the article for Recycle Across America has been marked for speedy deletion. This is my first article, so I would love some help in making the page better. I heard about this organization recently because we got the recycling labels in our community and I think they are doing good work. Please comment on the article's talk page as to why it has been marked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sttocs21 (talk • contribs) 00:56, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the claim to notability? E. Fokker (talk) 01:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know about Notability, but the organization has caused significant changes in how my community recycles. And they have been written about in several different news publications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.161.91 (talk) 05:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Robert danay

~~The article Robert danay has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:~~

~~Non notable person; very few ghits and no gnews hits.~~
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. OSborn^arf_contribs. 01:58, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, Twinkle was being slow and silly. OSborn^arf_contribs. 02:00, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier prod of yours

You prodded this [1], and then the WP:AUTO, WP:COI WP:SPA who's behind the article removed the prod himself, in an especially sneaky way, by removing an accent mark from his name and then redirecting the article. I've got it up for speedy now, and if there are any further problems with this example of WP:SPAM, I intend to take it to AfD. Qworty (talk) 09:33, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. E. Fokker (talk) 21:47, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: User:Eeeliz

Hello E. Fokker. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Eeeliz, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a user page - A7, like the other "A" speedies, only applies to articles. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 19:42, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nancy moved it to user space, when I tagged it was in article space. E. Fokker (talk) 19:44, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(edit-conflict) Apologies - now I look at the history, I see you correctly tagged this when it was an article, then another editor userfied it but did not remove the speedy tag. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No probs. E. Fokker (talk) 19:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Qamberzai

Thanks for fixing; I typed 'redir' quickly, instead of 'redirect'. Meh.

Trying to rescue a new user - see User_talk:RAKHSHANBALOCH.

I doubt it'll work, but 1/1000 it does.

Thanks again, Chzz ► 23:52, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, it's an easy mistake to make. E. Fokker (talk) 23:53, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Alley to the Valley

Hello E. Fokker. I am just letting you know that I deleted Alley to the Valley, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 02:21, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was tagged as A7 and G11. E. Fokker (talk) 02:23, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Danzelle St Louis-Hamilton

Hello E. Fokker. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Danzelle St Louis-Hamilton, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Has played since deletion. If you feel his 6 appearances for Worcester City are insufficient to meet WP:ATHLETE please take to WP:AFD. Thank you. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 02:30, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He still hasn't played at a fully pro level, so nothing substantial has changed since the last AfD. E. Fokker (talk) 02:41, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

HCI design

Dear sir, can you tell me which part you consider it copy and paste in my article HCI design

All of it. E. Fokker (talk) 21:26, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

most of the article contain theories, so i just have to put the theory like is it,please tell me what can i do ??

Ask for it to be deleted as it obviously isn't your work. E. Fokker (talk) 21:34, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think there is a miss understanding , i will try to say it in another way if i want to put a theory or rule something that is standard , what can i do ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmed Fouad(the lord of programming) (talk • contribs) 21:38, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Write it entirely in your own words and make sure it's referenced to reliable sources. E. Fokker (talk) 21:45, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your thoughtful and constructive editing

Warming Centers save lives and they are still relatively new concept in many cities so it is very helpful to have a solid wikified article up and running. I hope you continue to visit the page and add your beneficial insights and expertise.Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peace Doves are cool and seasonal

Check this out these are very nice gizmos indeed Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 22:29, 23 December 2010 (UTC) has given you a dove! Doves promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day happier. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a dove, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past (this fits perfectly) or a good friend. Cheers![reply]

Spread the peace of doves by adding {{subst:Peace dove}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message!

Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) (UTC)

Thanks, I'm keeping an eye on the article. E. Fokker (talk) 21:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: DataMarket

A batch of secondary sources added. Any objections to the notability flag being removed? (notably there is a reference from The Guardian) --Jabbi (talk) 01:01, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, go ahead. Though more refs in English would definitely help matters. E. Fokker (talk) 01:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Charles "Bubba" Chaney

Thanks for the box. You are impressive. Rammer (talk) 03:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. E. Fokker (talk) 03:09, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Todd Long speedy

The user reverted your quick edit and I left a warning. If he contests, shall I move it to AFD? V. Joe (talk) 23:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By all means, I doubt he meets the General notability guidelines. E. Fokker (talk) 23:05, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Obsessive psychogeography

Hello E. Fokker. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Obsessive psychogeography to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. -- Lear's Fool 05:29, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just to expand on the templated message above, even though the article is obviously 100% original research, I'm afraid that doesn't make it a hoax. If the author decides to remove the PROD template, I'll send it straight to AfD. -- Lear's Fool 05:32, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, it's a fine line between hoax and 'original research'. E. Fokker (talk) 17:26, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List PROD

I created the List of people who have changed, adopted or adjusted their surnames, either personally or professionally or both, based on their mother’s maiden name. which you proposed for deletion for reasons that amount to WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Maybe you could offer some constructive advice on how to expand the list and make it more notable. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 01:27, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. It's a piece of rubbish best deleted. E. Fokker (talk) 01:52, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

February 2011

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of people who adopted matronymic surnames. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Orlady (talk) 01:28, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For an administrator you appear to have a poor grasp of policy. An exemption to 3RR is: "Removal of libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced contentious material that violates the policy on biographies of living persons (BLP)." and the BLP policy states "Wikipedia's sourcing policy, Verifiability, says that all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation; material not complying with this may be removed. This policy extends that principle, adding that contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced should be removed immediately and without discussion. This applies whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable, and whether it is in a biography or in some other article."

Maybe the BLP noticeboard would be a better route to take? E. Fokker (talk) 01:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing libelous or contentious about this list, and your repeated reverts have removed sourced content, reference citations, and content about dead people, along with links to BLP articles that include the same information that is reflected on this list. Once you started the AfD, it would be wise of you to let it run its course, rather than repeatedly blanking all but one sentence of the article. Regarding your proposal to take this to the BLP noticeboard at the same time that your AfD is ongoing, see WP:Forum shopping. --Orlady (talk) 02:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I think the changing of someones name is certainly contentious, but I guess BLP policy doesn't apply to articles up for deletion. E. Fokker (talk) 02:48, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I predict that you will not find very many people who will find anything contentious about saying that certain actors and actresses use stage names, that certain authors have pseudonyms, and that some other famous people have changed their names. --Orlady (talk) 03:18, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I have to say that overall my behaviour on this matter has been rather poor. I shall try to do better. E. Fokker (talk) 17:52, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well Done

		A beer on me!
		Here's a beer for your fine efforts on improving Wikipedia! Cheers! Kudos for your sincere apology to Rms125 and for maintaining a high standard of civility on Wikipdedia. [2] It is my belief that editors should be recognized for accomplishments as well as their misdeeds. Cheers!-- — *Keithbob* • Talk • 18:26, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, and Cheers! E. Fokker (talk) 18:36, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jacqueline Roumeguere

Hello, Thank you for helping as i'm brand new to wikipedia. i appreciate the link u provided on the left part of the page as I read about doing it but did not manage to di ti, so thanx so much. i would like to ask you not to delete the former link i putted in the "see" section as i think it is much more clear for in addition to the link u provided. For example, as a beginner, i didnt know about cliking on another pages, so i would prefer to have both links so that it appears also in the "see" section. I hope you understant and accept my point of view. Thank you and have a good night. aude — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aude Julien (talk • contribs) 21:57, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
