Acne Studios

Please stop deleting my edits for the Acne Studios wiki page. The text is not promotional but factual about their development as a company and the current text is clearly years out of date. I looked at a lot of other fashion labels wiki pages before starting editing this page and wrote accordingly. Charlotterey (talk) 15:41, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Odd Title

You know that we can't call it Season 4 seeing as there are NO given references, and 'Undubbed' is to wired so what should they be called K.O.K Kev (talk) 04:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I Understand But, That Page Has to have a name change. This is not a forum, so we can't dub those episodes that season without reliable refereances, so what other title(s) do yo propose K.O.K Kev (talk) 04:40, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

It does not "have to" have a name change now. Wait until more is known. Seriously - your personal opinions don't enter into it right now. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:44, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Why do you keep adding episodes 93 through 149 back to the Road to Destiny page? If there really is a Season 4, your edits aren't showing that. Please be consistant with your edits, in order not to confuse people. By the way, If there will be no Season 4, then why don't you just delete the page already? Anyways, if there won't be a Season 4, please present your source, so that I may also agree with you. With thanks, 72.197.237.120 (talk) 23:26, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Star Wars title

As you've initiated the change and have been reverted by two editors, please start a discussion on the talk page to help determine consensus. You're currently in conflict with 3RR, so it'd be better off to determine among editors what's clear for readers for the title. --Happy editing!

Notice

I noticed a user who deleted the Season 4 section, and added unreferenced episode information to the Season 3 page. I understand that the information there might have not been clear enough for him, but he still disrupted Wikipedia by his edits. 72.197.237.120 (talk) 22:34, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Sliders - Series Revived after Cancellation

I was curious why you undid the revision on the Sliders article which placed it in the "Television series revived after cancellation" category? Fox actually did cancel Sliders at the end of season three in 1997; Universal Studios, through Sci-Fi Channel, then revived Sliders for a season four which began airing in 1998.

There are several things I disagree with in the revived Television category list (and perhaps the list should be dismantled), but Sliders is a text book example of the list description.DBHughes (talk) 05:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I have centralised the discussion about referencing of Detroit 1-8-7 to Talk:List of Detroit 1-8-7 episodes#the 14th & 15th episodes and as one of those who has objected to the ABC press releases being acceptable sources you are invited to join in and explain beyond edit summary constraints why you object. delirious & lost ☯ ^~hugs~ 06:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

"Sorry"

You do not need to agree but WP:SOURCEACCESS is clear. The LA Times and other newspapers can be accessed at libraries or by obtaining a copy through the publisher. I also have multiple articles not available online if you want them emailed to you. However, this is not mandatory so stop reverting. Cptnono (talk) 19:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

(driveby) Mike, if you have a library card for your state system, there's a good chance that you can gain access to the pay sites for free from your home computer by logging into the library site which serves as a proxy. State of NC Library system works this way. Also, Wikipedia:List of online newspaper archives & Wikipedia:News sources/Collections might come in handy for you sometime. Hopefully helpful,

Warner Bros.

I have restored the edit you undid. Please explain your action if you revert the article back again, as the text you restored was nonsensical (as written, its literal claim was "Brothers" is not an abbreviation for "brothers"), inconsistent (supposing it was intended to claim "Bros." is not an abbrevation for "brothers" which is inconsistent with the abbreviation's English meaning AND is inconsistent within the article itself which states the studio was named after brothers with the Warner name as described in the History section). Further, the reference link you restored was a blank page, and I could not find any corroboration on the Warner Bros. website disputing that Bros. is an abbreviation of Brothers.

If you dispute the revision, please discuss it in the talk page. The original editor, logged by I.P. address instead of a logged-in name, explained their edit, but you did not seem to discuss it before reverting their edit inexplicably. Thanks. --Chibiabos (talk) 23:25, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Brazil

Hey, you don't seem keen to engage in discussion on Talk:Brazil_(film). I was just wondering why you are so emphatic that Brazil is not a Christmas film? It has constant Christmas imagery throughout. If you look through Category:Christmas films you will find many movies, for example Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Black Christmas (1974 film), Black Christmas (2006 film), Lethal Weapon, Gremlins, The Ice Harvest, Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation, etc that seem to be in the category simply because they are set at Christmas but have far less actual Christmas imagery and content than Brazil. Can you explain why they are Christmas films while Brazil is not, or are you also planning on removing them from the category? Pearce.duncan (talk) 02:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Indiana Jones needs more than a bullwhip for help

Greetings - could you come back and set new eyes on the article, maybe add to the suggestions? Some of us think this article is a mess, badly structured and should be strictly about the fictional character of Indiana, a fictional character bio. I am willing to restructure the writing but I do not have lots of time or super-editing experience.76.195.85.160 (talk) 22:07, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Darkcover21, until I see some basic understanding of spelling, grammar, and punctuation from you (and I've seen little from you thus far), I will continue to edit "articals" you contribute to as I see fit.

Thats not point. My spelling is checked by spellchecker. Point being you just edit articals to remove the stuff that ive added as edits!! not beacuse; you have added any content yourself what so ever!!. MikwWazowski you are real pain as you are just trying to stop what im editing nothing else!!. In the same footing of WP:OWN, you should not realley keep trying to stop me from editing on Wiki!!. I think you ourght to be carefull what your saying as your doing that to me!!!. As well my aim is never to stop anybody editeing wiki!! Just to stop a certain somebody from deleting and removeing my good content editeing contributions to wiki!!! Dont see you adding any content to Lowestoft Articals and if you did i wouldent remove it ither!! (Darkcover21 (talk) 20:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC))

Mongrels and List of Mongrels episodes

Hi there,

I've just noticed that same user is reverting the articles for Mongrels (TV series) and List of Mongrels episodes again. Annoyingly I edited the Mongrels (TV series) article before I spotted the vandalism. ISD (talk) 19:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

McCrumb

Thank you for your message. My purpose in editing the Sharyn McCrumb page was to update and expand upon the one source cited (a 2004 Library Journal article. My sources are verifiable and credible, and no content in the article deviates from these sources. I am not in the employ of Mrs. McCrumb. I do provide library research assistance to her in my capacity as a librarian. Thank you for the reminder on the COI. I was unaware of this policy, and I will correct any information that might lead readers to believe the article is biased.LoraOlivia (talk) 11:48, 14 May 2011 (UTC)LoraOlivia

Permission is being sent to Wikipedia from the owner of the Sharyn McCrumb site, so my temporary page will probably be deleted in favor of the information I originally posted.LoraOlivia (talk) 18:07, 14 May 2011 (UTC)LoraOlivia

"Spock Principle"

Even if you disagree with the usage of the term "Spock Principle", why did you remove the entire quote box, unless you're saying that your opinion on the matter supersedes that of the Supreme Court of Texas? Also, the other part of the article that you removed quite clearly states that utility theory pre-dates Spock .... but while J.S. Mill may pre-date Spock, I can guarantee you that if you did a random survey of people on the street more of them will have heard of Spock, and for Wikipedia that's what counts. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

America: The Story of Us

Are you aware that this is the first time it's aired in Canada? It's most certainly not, as you say, a "secondary" airing as far as Canada is concerned. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 20:16, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

So? Are you going to start adding in every single airing in every single country? How is this even remotely notable or have any impact on the actual production itself? It's a minor inconsequential detail. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:24, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Not the first TV article to bring up the subject of airings. It's notable to Canadians. Or are you saying that Canada is inconsequential? -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 20:40, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Don't try to put words into my mouth - the subject of the article is about a TV series. That's it. A rebroadcast, even in another country, is not inherently notable, unless there was something newsworthy about it, like incredible ratings or some newsworthy controversy/public interest. All you're adding is that it aired. Big whoop - it has no significant bearing on the program itself, and unless you can find some valid justification for it's notability, it doesn't belong. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

And as I said before, it's not a "rebroadcast. It would only be a rebroadcast if Canada is considered part of the U.S., which it's not. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 20:50, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

It's a rebroadcast, in that the original airings, around which all the press and awards are related, was a year ago. These new airings are not inherently notable - they just exist. They're essentially syndication. Unless there is some special notability granted just for some network, Canadian or otherwise, deciding to air the thing, that mention doesn't belong. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:57, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

And for the record, would you take this position for Canadian shows that subsequently aired in the U.S. a year later? -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 20:59, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

It would depend on the circumstances. This is not a black/white, right/wrong, Jake vs. Wikipedia thing here - I treat things on a case by case basis, looking at notability, press coverage/citations. I will not give you a definite answer on this question, because it cannot be answered definitely without looking at the specifics of a given situation. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Spoken like a true politician. Thanks, that tells me everything I need to know. Cheers. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 21:05, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Ah, the passive/agressive snark/insult... nice to see that you're consistent, anyway... MikeWazowski (talk) 21:11, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Bruce Cabot meets HarveyCarter

Thanks for the revert. I was starting to think we'd seen the last of this sockpuppet, as he'd given up apparently, but now, months later, he's back again. The 92... ISP is pretty much a giveaway, as is the fact that he hardly even bothers to argue the reversions anymore, which someone new at a similar ISP would certainly do. I wish I could arrange to protect every article he starts in on, but I'm not empowered to do that. Thanks for the vigilance. Monkeyzpop (talk) 08:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

About Deletion of ReduceMail Pro

I'm sorry if I was removing your deletion code. I panicked because I was writing the article for work. If there's anything I can do to make it up, please say. About the article itself, I understand your concern, and I want to see if we can make it work to restore the article to Wikipedia. I feel that the version that only included the history of the product and excluded any of the in-depth technical information from the website is valid. The reason I say this is because a product that does exactly the same thing as ReduceMail Pro, Enterprise Vault, is on Wikipedia. We got off on the wrong foot, and it was my fault. If there's anything we can do to make this work, please say. Ereep (talk) 16:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

One thing you need to understand is that if you are being paid to write an article, or are connected to the company that developed the software, you have a clear conflict of interest and have no business creating or substantially editing such an article. If this software is notable, let someone unconnected write about it independently. Also, in regards to Enterprise Vault, you'd be wise to look at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - it's a poor argument for inclusion. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:37, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I disagree with the assertion that I definitely have a conflict of interest. My goal is ultimately for the article to remain itself on Wikipedia, so in order to do that, I will attempt to be as neutral as possible. Granted, I won't go out of the way to include a "criticisms" section, but if it did appear, I wouldn't excise it. If it seems that what I am saying appears biased, then others should criticize the article on that basis, including one of those bias tags, and we should see if we can make it better. I feel that on-the-market software of any sort is notable. To only include the history and describe what the software does is in no way problematic. The language simply needs to remain without value judgments. To prove that I am of good faith, what if I write a Wikipedia article about another piece of software of which I have no relation? Perhaps even a similar competing software to ReduceMail Pro? I truly feel that any type of on-the-market software deserves Wikipedia mention. I am writing the artice for work, but only in so much as I am supposed to be serving the general public knowledge. I'll do anything reasonable I need to do to get this properly back on Wikipedia in a way that only is of benefit. Just say the word and tell me what to do, Mr. Wazowski. Ereep (talk) 23:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

You keep saying you're doing this article for work - are you employed by or for the company that makes this software? Because if you are, then you do have a clear conflict of interest, as far as Wikipedia is concerned - I'd advise you t take a look at the specific guidelines and familiarize yourself with them before continuing. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

At this point I don't want to do the article for work. I'm taking myself off the timesheet to write this article. I want to do it for me. I want to to write it at a private citizen. I should have been getting paid for all this stuff relating to trying to get the article back up, but I'm intentionally choosing not to get paid. I'm totally serious. I promise you this: I hereby make it that I am not doing this page for work. I will only work on it from home or when I am not getting paid. I care so much about getting this on that I will forgo my wage whenever I am doing something in relation to this Wikipedia page. I am on my hands and knees, Mr. Wazowski. What do I need to do to make sure that there is no conflict of interest? I will not take any money in relation to this project anymore. It will become a private project relating to my interest in such software. Ereep (talk) 13:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello, MikeWazowski. You have new messages at Omkar1234's talk page.

FWIW

Once again you are being accused of being a proxy of mine. I guess we've come a long way since you reported me for the 3RR I was guilty of a couple of years a back. I only mention that 3RR because it demonstrates that A) we are not in "cahoots", B) we have grown as editors, and C) despite any past issues we can work together at this point. I have come to respect and value your opinion as an editor, but I would recommend just ignoring drama and drop the stick. It's not worth it. Nothing good will come from continued discussion over nonsense. That's my peace and those will be my only comments on the matter. Thanks. Erikeltic ^(Talk) 22:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I'd appreciate it if you could stay off Jake's talk page for the duration of his block. It's not helpful. I'm not asserting you've done anything wrong with your edits, that your a puppet of E, or anything like that. He just needs time to cool down. Thanks. Gerardw (talk) 19:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I gave him one last chance today to discuss this like an adult - however, his little "warning" just shows me that he still doesn't see that he bears any responsibility for his actions. His loss. I've got better things to do than worry about him from here on - however, he really needs to lay off the wild accusations, or I will bring him up at the Wikiquette boards and let them deal with it, should he continue. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:56, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't disagree he needs to refocus his concerns. It's just human nature to lash out if you feel cornered, and I don't think it really hurts anything to let him vent a little bit on his talk page. Gerardw (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

It's almost funny watching him rant about how unfair this has all been. Almost. And since I know he's reading and looking for something to add to his list of injustices - regarding his potential SPI witch hunt?

Heavenly Creatures locations

It's well-known that the film was shot at the real-life locations. What sort of online source would be considered acceptable? The only other reference is another site, which also discusses this, as do others. I don't know what a "Tripod" site is, so don't understand why it's not okay. Ideas on how to deal with it?--TEHodson 02:46, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

There are mentions of the real-life locations buried in reviews, but that doesn't seem a good source to me. It was an important decision the filmmakers made to shoot everything exactly where it really took place, so this should be in the article, but as the film was made so long ago I'm having trouble finding a source.--TEHodson 03:02, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Marking as Patrolled

Hello there Mike. Just a little request. It seems that Twinkle, quite annoyingly, doesn't mark pages as patrolled even when you tag them for WP:CSD, WP:PROD or WP:AFD. I've just come across an article, that you'd tagged for WP:CSD on the unpatrolled list. I'm sure you already know, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the article, there will be a little link in square brackets that says mark this page as patrolled. If you click that the it'll get taken off the unpatrolled list and no-one else will come across it. It's not your fault, I know; it's Twinkle's. But until they fix it, it'd be great if you clicked that link just before you tagged an article. I've marked that one as patrolled. Sorry to be a pain. Keep up the good work. — Fly by Night (talk) 20:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't see how a local person who (as mentioned in the article) failed on public access cable and only lasted three months on an AM radio station. He clearly does not meet the notability requirements. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

I can confirm that Henstead, South Cove, Suffolk and North Cove are reasonable articles based on them being reasonable sized settlements (South Cove's a bit small perhaps, but it's probably just about OK unless I can find somewhere to merge it with), although Henstead might want to move to Henstead and Hulver Street eventually. They were on my list for creation at some point as it happens - hmmm... I'll keep an eye on the user though - might be an old friend back for some more.

Spider 3 issue

I am trying to update the Spiders 3D page, and you keep deleting my content. IMDB has updated its info, and it says American fiction writer Dustin Warburton is credited as a writer on the film, his role was writing the STORY. If you can please update the page accordingly, we here at PBP would appreciate it as our client deserves to be listed as a writer on the page. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteatpbp (talk • contribs) 22:53, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

I can find no reliable sources that mention Warburton's connection to this film, except for articles where he brings it up himself. The promotional material released for the film at the American Film Market and Cannes do not mention him at all. Until you can provide reliable sources (and the IMDB is not one, in this case), please stop adding his name to the page. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:58, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

I have a CONTRACT signed which states Dustin Warburton gets a STORY credit on the film. The production company updated the IMDB page to verify Warburton's credit. Since the film is in Post production, only the production company can add credits to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteatpbp (talk • contribs) 20:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

We are managing Warburton's affairs and we have a signed contract verifying Warburton's credit. If need be we will post a portion of the contract on his website if this continued deletion occurs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteatpbp (talk • contribs) 20:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Actually, anyone can add (or remove) credits from the IMDB at any time, unless an article is locked as "listings complete" by a production company. And even then, there's still some leeway given on the part of the editors so far. But what it all comes down to is that no official material released by NuImage or the filmmakers thus far mentions Warburton. Posting a contract on his website would still not be a reliable source, and it would be completely unverifiable. Once the movie comes out with his name on it, or the production company officially releases something with his name on it, DO NOT add it back into the article. Further attempts to do so without reliable sourcing will be removed. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:39, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Anyone can change info on IMDB, but IMDB sent this message regarding this issue. Contributors Help PER IMDB by Marhleet_DR (Mon Jun 6 2011 12:26:41) "It's in production, someone from the production co would have to put it in as details change (actor/crew wise) and final details change (edit/who DOES get a credit)." Since Spiders is in production, they are the ones that added Mr. Warburton to the current page. He should be added with a story credit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteatpbp (talk • contribs) 00:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Surrey Wildlife Trust

Please could you undo the change that you made to Surrey Wildlife Trust in which the list of reserves was deleted. This list comes from the official website. The listing of reserves under ownership is performed by other Wildlife Trusts, such as Kent Wildlife Trust, Sussex Wildlife Trust and Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust so this is normal.

Deletion of Media Diversity Institute page

I'm confused about who I should raise this issue with - I got an email that indicated you had determined that the MDI article was 'unambiguous advertising' and therefore a candidate for speedy deletion. By the time I had a chance to look, someone else (I think) called Fastily appears to have deleted it.

As a new contributor, I find this all very disheartening, while the procedure for requesting reconsideration seems unbelievably byzantine and virtually impossible to navigate - particular when speedy deletion is concerned.

To the point.

I'd appreciate some guidance as to why you consider the article to be 'unambiguous advertising'. It is an accurate description of the organisation and its work, complete with references where these exist. Moreover, the MDI or MDI projects are referenced in other Wikipedia articles - for example a link in the the article on the International Federation of Journalists references the Institute for Media Diversity (actually the same organisation) and links to a joint IFJ-MDI project, Media 4 Diversity, http://www.media4diversity.eu/.

If you can indicate sections of the article that you conclude are unambiguous advertising, I will be happy to consider rewriting or removing them. But I have been very careful not to include any normative statements in the article. It describes the background to the MDI, its history, its aims and what it does.

I can find no sources for criticism of the organisation but would be happy to include any that you can direct me to.

Finally, it seems to me that there might well have been other more appropriate solutions to the problem (if there is a problem) - for example, reducing the length of the article. There are plenty of similar articles on Wikipedia as far as I can see. I'd appreciate a bit more consideration and some explanation.

Gherman317 (talk) 16:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

I tagged it as Unambiguous advertising or promotion because that's what it appeared to be. Large parts of it were cut and pasted directly from (ar barely rewritten from) a number of pages on the organization's website - it might as well have been an extension of the website. Much of what was there was designed to promote the company, did not appear to be encyclopedic, and it appears that an administrator (who actually deleted it) agreed with that assessment. As to your comments about other pages, I would advise you to look at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Also, are you connected to the organization? If so, you have a conflict of interest and should not be creating articles about them. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I thought changes to Template:X2 were in the Sandbox. I had not meant to be fixing your presumed problems - which I still find mystifying - I was doodling. Aren't I allowed to do this?

Gherman317 (talk) 17:06, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

I've worked for the organisation in the past, but then I'm a journalist, it's what I do. I am trying to produce an article that actually describes what this organisation does, because I think it deserves an entry. I appreciate that you may think that it's possible to be completely objective about things, but I believe that Wikipedia actually demonstrates that what you describe as 'encyclopedic' is in fact a negotiated form of truth often emerging from discussions such as this one. You are absolutely right that much of the material in the article was taken from the MDI website - but the point you should be asking (if you'll pardon my presumption) is whether it's accurate or not. I've checked - it is. Unfortunately, the website also happens to be one of the few sources of information about the organisation. But, in my view, any organisation that is quoted by the United Nations is likely to be worth a Wikipedia entry. Perhaps it should have been shorter.

Your attention needed for overuse and improper use of images

Since my focus is contributing content, rather than deleting it, I am not familiar with the procedure for deleting images. In an effort to free Wikipedia of gender bias of content, I will be working from now on flagging content that exhibits a double standard of content - visual, as well as textual. Please examine this Wikipedia entry of John Kennedy Toole for its use of images, as you have done for the Anne Rice and Emily Brontë entries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kennedy_Toole Screen shot of request saved.

June 2011

I don't mean to be a bother but could you explain why you think the "List of Open Season characters" is unnecessary? I mean it doesn't matter whether or not an article is necessary, I just created it to be consistent with other animated film articles, such as the Shrek and Ice Age franchises, besides Open Season is a franchise too.

Spicejohnson (talk) 28 June 2011 15:01 (UTC)

Those articles are generally properly referenced, where the characters have some notoriety outside of the franchise. These do not. Taking away the massive amount of original research you add to these articles, there is nothing on that page that really can't be found at Open Season (film series). Also, given your history of adding rumors and outright false information (I've corrected the inaccuracies in the release chart, BTW), I think any potential article about those characters would be better written by someone less involved than you. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:06, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Does this count for the film series' template too? Spicejohnson (talk) 15:18, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Monsters University (2013 film)

Hi,

Im not really sure why you want the Monsters University (2013 film) page to be deleted. Like every other film sequel/prequel on wiki, they all have their own articles. Monsters University is a feature film. And yes, there already is a page for Monsters University. But thats in the Monsters, Inc. page, in the prequel section. It's redirected there. Thats what needs to be fixed. Point being, the Monsters University (2013 film) should not be deleted because the film has its own set of information that needs to be put in its OWN separate article. I really hope that makes sense to you..... (Endrizzi427 (talk) 02:31, 2 July 2011 (UTC))

We already have Monsters University. MikeWazowski (talk) 02:34, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, i see you fixed the link for it leading to its article that i created, instead of going into the prequel section of the monsters, inc. page. Thank you for doing that! therefore, the page Monsters University (2013 film) should be deleted. (Endrizzi427 (talk) 02:42, 2 July 2011 (UTC))

No, as a matter of fact, it's not. A Google search on "Sloan Crandell" diamond shows no results outside of the Wikipedia page you created. The search link you posted is useless, as it's too broad to give accurate results. A more accurate one would be a search on "Diamond programming language", which only comes up with 12 unique returns. I stand by my original reasoning - I see nothing about your "Diamond programming language" that's notable enough for an article at this time. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:04, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

The name of the article is most certainly an anachronism and no such organization existed. That said, I would recommend AFD for the article.

I see quite a number of these graphic editors listed on Wikipedia, so I thought it was alright for me to do the same. I read that if a post got deleted, I can try to "tone down" my voice and make it more neutral. Will you please be kind enough to read and let me know if it is passable now?

Also, my references were included on my first edit, but I don't know how to get the first edit back, so I need to find those references again. Therefore, I haven't published the page just yet.

Thanks for your time and I do not take anything personally. Sincerely, Nongplubplub (talk) 15:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, first off you should not be doing this on your userpage - that's a clear violation of policy, and you could get blocked if you continue to recreate it there. A better plan would be to work on it in your userspace, such as User:Nongplubplub/Propplan before moving that back to an article when you think it's ready. However, I noticed that Propplan has already been speedy deleted once, so you need to be sure that you have valid references indicating notability and significant coverage - not just existence - otherwise you'll find it probably going down the same path again. Good luck. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:37, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Violin concertos

Hello Mike! You deleted today several links I added to major violin concertos referring to the site of my research project about 20th century violin concertos. The site fulfills serious research and data, is well-known among violinists of international reputation (check the testimonials on the site) and for a long time an external link on the wikipedia sites of "Violin concerto" and "List of violin concertos". Now I added discography data and so wanted to add this information to a few major violin concertos. I cannot understand the difference between the normal "Violin concerto" site and these specific violin concerto sites. Can you please explain the difference?

Thanks in advance and best, Tobias (user: violinconcerto) (----) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Violinconcerto (talk • contribs) 19:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Mike! a nickname is a nickname, nothing more, nothing less - or are you a green running egg with an eye? Therefore your suggestion , my "nickname implies I am more than one person" is a baseless speculation and I summon you to refrain from propagating such personal opinions. If you would be deeper into classical music - which you are definitely not - you would know me and that I am doing this as a single person. So stop this "you are an organization" thing! Second I would like to focus your attention to a few things which you might have overseen and which hopefully show you, that the add of my link is correct: For over 15 years I am doing research strictly on the topic of 20th century violin concertos. I contacted libaries, MICs, performers and composers personally to gather data to this topic. So the compiled database is the largest and most complete resource in the world !! The site is widely known among soloist like Liana Issakadze, which won several violin competitions of international reputation. So my website is a reliable, serious, academic resource! For the Wiki-site we are talking about (the Bartok violin concerto No.2) I would add a link to my site because on my site one can see a complete discography of the concerto. This is an information not provided on the site so far. And it is an information a lot of collector are interested in, which belongs to the whole subject of this specific piece and there are different other Wiki entries which have this topic as well: For example the discography of the violin concerto by Egward Elgar has its own Wiki-site! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgar_Violin_Concerto_discography). Third my site is an external link for several years on other violin concerto related Wiki-sites like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_concerto or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_violin_concertos. As well I am cited a few times for other articles due to the fact that there is no larger and better database than mine for this topic! (see the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vangelis_Petsalis website). Therefore where is the difference between adding a linkt o my site on the Bartok article as on the other ones? So finally I cannot understand why you feel you are in the position to undo things I have made just leaving two sentences as an explanation. I am pretty sure you are not really deep into this topic of 20th century violin concertos - otherwise we would have talked in the past and met somewhere in the internet - and so I think its quite arrogant to make decisions whether my site is fine or not, whether I am an organization or not. You expect seriousness from the links added - fine. But then please take a bit more time and study the topic before making decisions.

Best, Tobias (user: violinconcerto) (----)

Had you actually read the messages I left, you would realize that you have a clear conflict of interest in promoting your site, which you sgould not be doing. Any such continued attempts to promote your site by adding links will be removed, as per policy. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:50, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

I performed this edit because the band title does not have a 'the' in the title and there were links from other pages such as Phantom Records which were breaking because they correctly cite the band name as 'Shrinking Violets'. What needed to happen (which is what I did, was for the page on 'The Shrinking Violets' to redirect to a new page 'Shrinking Violets' to provide for incoming links from other pages. I inserted the appropriate redirect link to a newly created page so that it all worked.

Can you explain why you took the redirect out and restored the incorrect page??

Because A) you followed improper procedure in creating a new page as opposed to moving the old one, and B) all the references I found from reliable sources call them "The" Shrinking Violets. MikeWazowski (talk) 14:49, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Memphis tags

Hi, I noticed you put the copyright text tags on the Memphis page. I checked the source that the user in 2009 claimed was copied and the article has a few similarities but is not an exact duplicate (In fact the wiki article is greatly different). I was wondering if you checked out the claim like I did. --Turn685 (talk) 14:56, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Ablaze! (Fanzine)

Hi Mike

I've re-edited the entry on Ablaze! taking into account the notices you placed.

I've removed any 'peacock' terms.

I've done quite a lot more research and beefed up references significantly. This was a bit of a challenge in that pretty much anything published before the days of mass internet tends to be much less referenced than subjects of a similar nature published since the Internet took off as a mass medium. I have however sourced references from a couple of recently published books, and one academic paper I found online.

In terms of being notable, I'd argue that if a self published fanzine from a provincial UK city is still being referenced almost 20 years later in academic literature, then it is notable to some extent. Karren Ablaze! is also cited in the Wikipedia entry on Riot Grrrl - the only non US person to be cited in that article. Some of the other contributors are notable in already having Wikipedia entries.

My motivation for originating the entry, is that I was surprised that there was not already an entry, when there are entries for contemporary US publications such as "Forced Exposure'. Ablaze! was an important and influential fanzine in the context of indie music for the period it existed, both in the US and UK, but particularly in Northern England. It was certainly a very important part of the Leeds music scene at the time - local band the Cribs (from Wakefield, a satellite town of Leeds - were influenced by it. This of course is opinion, which is why I've removed anything I can't find reference for from the entry.

In terms of conflict of interest, I did conduct an interview with Sonic Youth in 1988, but I was not an important contributor to the magazine, and I certainly wouldn't list myself as a notable contributor.

I'm not selling anything.

Padawan Menace & Star Wars TV Specials

Also posted on Star Wars Talk page but since you are the one making the changes I felt it should be mentioned directly to you as well. In a nut shell it is odd to me that a prime time full length in-canon Lucasfilm produced Star Wars special should not be on the template. And further it is odd that non-films are listed as spin-off films. Thank you.

For example The Great Heep was not a spin-off film but a tv special based on the Droids cartoon. The Padawan Menace is virtually the same thing but a spin-off television special of The Clone Wars. It is not a small little short like the previous LEGO Star Wars specials but a full television length tv special. Only the third in the Star Wars franchsie and unlike those small shorts this is made by a major animation house. It is very much warranted inclusion on the template. Jyenor86 (talk) 17:08, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

No, it's not. That template is for in-universe content, which this "special" is not. It does not belong there. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

This one is in-universe based on the reported plot. It takes place within the continuity of The Clone Wars 2008 animated series, just in lego form. There is nothing about what is reported that would make it out of universe like the web shorts. And it should not be confused with the webshorts, these are produced by a entirely different animation house. One that does feature files like Happy Feet. Jyenor86 (talk) 18:06, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

There is no way a Lego film can be in-universe. And the animation house has nothing to do with it. Furthermore, when they call something a "standalone" that features "situations, characters and locations from throughout the entire Star Wars saga", that's telling you it's out of continuity. Do not add it back into the template. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:13, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Peter Haynes

Hi there, you reversed a PROD last month on Peter Haynes, with the comment "don't think this is necessary". As he is marked as an unreferenced BLP article, as none of the supplied links can be considered entirely reliable sources, could you please attempt to supply a sufficiently reliable source to prove his notability. Has he ever won or been nominated for a major award? Profiled in a major newspaper/magazine? I just had a quick look and couldn't find anything, so instead of sending him back to AFD, I thought I'd give you a chance first, as I don't know much about reliable sources for webcomics or short film directors.

Conor Matthew Mccreedy is identified as a possible copyvio, but the "source" is a document uploaded to Commons. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but this isn't the usual copyvio situation. While I haven't used the print to pdf option, it looks like someone might have printed the WP page as a pdf, then uploaded it to Commons.--SPhilbrickT 17:21, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I think it's the other way around - the page creator has already identified himself on the article talk page as a COI editor acting on behalf of the subject of the article. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:28, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi MikeWazowski. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Conor Matthew Mccreedy, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. The article is not solely promotional and would not require a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic. If notability is in question, take it to AFD. Ryan Vesey contribs 22:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the template which appeared in this way. I assumed it would have been similar to other Speedy deletion declined templates. Ryan Vesey contribs 22:16, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

In regards to the article, your tagging is a little excessive. First, consider using {{Multiple issues}}. Second, many of the issues you have tagged it with require discussion on the talk page yet you brought nothing up. Finally, consider bringing the article to AFD if you think it is not notable instead of discouraging the editor by slamming the article with tags. Ryan Vesey contribs 03:52, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

You also added a copyright issue template on the page but did not follow any of the instructions for filing. I went ahead and did it for you but in the future please follow all instructions. Ryan Vesey contribs 17:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

In regards to your comment that I "have it out for that article", it's not personal - however, I've noticed a pattern of promotion, copyright infringements, claims made that the citations do not back up, and dubious references from unreliable sources. Something seems *very* suspicious about that article. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:52, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Just to let you know, the user brought the issue to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard. Sorry for accusing you of "having it out for the article" but I found your repeated tagging with no attempt to improve the article or give information to the author counter productive.

Veronica Grey Edits

Mike -

I edited the page according to your comments... What more must I do to ensure the page is not deleted? It is NOW completely sourced with the exact information stated contained in the sources. I re wrote it to make it neutral, purely factual and not as an advertisement. It is a legitimate biography as Veronica has published several novels, been in several films and co runs a charity organization that does new age philanthropy. This is described in her article as it is relevant and important.

I addressed all four of your concerns. Please let me know if there is more I must do to keep this page up and running in a legitimate, cooperative and proper manor.

Your recent contributions

Hello Mike, you are spot in with the tags I looked at--I've followed you for a bit just now, blocking spam editors and deleting one or two of the articles you nominated for speedy deletion. I did, however, remove the speedy from Jean Dasque--it wasn't wrong, but sometimes it's more fun creating articles than deleting them. I've added a little bit, and if you play around with it some you can easily turn it into a decent article. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 01:17, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Killer Love

I have undone your edit to Killer Love as it appears that you misunderstood the purpose of the credits section. In no way does it promote anyone or anything, rather it is to give credit to all those working on album bar the songwriters and producers. Hundreds of thousands of Single and Album pages including WP:Featured articles and WP:Good articles include them because the credits are an important part of the article. On of the criteria for quality status B and above is a conclusive overview of all aspects of an album including those who've worked with the singer. Albums cannot recieve this without including a credits section. In future do not remove such information (which is sourced) without prior discussion. Also if you are going to make such a drastic change I suggest you also discuss it first. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 16:34, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it does appear to do nothing more than promote individuals, and also be a direct copyvio from the album liner notes. It is not Wikipedia's place to "give credit to all those working on album" - they've already received their credit, on the album. Perhaps this needs to be looked at on the other albums, as it seems unnecessarily promotional to me - I've removed content like this many times in the past with nary a peep.

Confused

I've noticed that you've been deleting many of my edits. My recent contributions to articles have been part of an effort to improve coverage of regional theatre, particularly in the region of Pittsburgh, and I don't understand why you've removed most of my contributions. Although the original productions of plays are the most important information to be included in articles, I believe that because regional theatre is an important cultural force in keeping theatre alive, subsequent regional productions should be listed as much as possible. Please consult with me before you undo more of my edits. I would be happy to discuss with you what should be considered notable in the world of regional theatre, but I would prefer if we could come to an agreement about this before you undo all of my work. I don't mean to sound combative at all, but since I have invested considerable time and energy into contributing a great deal of information on theatre to Wikipedia, I would like to have a discussion before more of my contributions are removed. Thank you! Frankgorshin (talk) 00:05, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I think you may need to take a look at the fact that other editors (I'm not the only one) have removed your additions of regional Pittsburgh productions because they simply aren't notable - TheaterXYZ put on a version of a famous play? Not notable. TheaterXYZ put on a show that got significant coverage for something specific? Maybe. Your mass additions of nothing but local productions from a few minor theaters looked like spam, and not only to me. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:19, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Well...I do recall two people removing edits of mine in the past, but as I look over my list of contributions, it seems that the majority of my edits have been removed by you. I don't mind if these contributions are removed on a case-by-case basis, but to remove all of them undermines dialogue, which I think is important. In the future, if you wish to remove one of my edits, could you please post that as a suggestion in the "Discussion" area of the article? I do understand that it may seem like I'm "selling" something; I completely understand that point of view. However, my point of view is that I'm revealing a great deal of theatrical activity that already exists that remains unknown to a great deal of the public. Many people are unaware that theatre exists on a high professional level in communities other than New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles; my wish is to increase knowledge of significant cultural activity outside of these specific communities. As Pittsburgh theatre is my "area of expertise," so to speak, I am updating articles from that point of view. I expect others who have knowledge of other theatrical communities to do the same. I have contributed information about theatre companies that are, for the most part, important contributors to Pittsburgh culture. Most of them have existed for many years and represent the way that many notable plays become known throughout the country. Without these kinds of theatres, the cultural cachet of many of these plays would die or become part of only an insular "New York"-based culture. To assert that these theatres are "minor" overlooks the important contributions they make to the fabric of American theatrical culture as a whole, in my opinion. I would not expect Wikipedia articles to list every movie theatre where a film is shown, but because each production of a play has unique qualities and arises out of a culture unique to any other location where it is performed, I would expect the Wikipedia article of a play to list a wide variety of regional productions. I understand that not everyone may agree with that opinion, but I would like to entertain dialogue as much as possible, since my understanding is that Wikipedia operates by consensus. To delete all of the contributions of a single Wikipedian indiscriminately seems to undermine that consensus, if I may respectfully disagree with you. So, like I said, if you disagree with one of my edits in the future, I would appreciate it if you would mention it on the "Discussion" page of the article before you make the deletion, and I will do my best to use the Discussion page more in my subsequent edits. Thank you!

--Frankgorshin (talk) 00:57, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Please do not edit war with me. As you'll see in Wikipedia's template for theatre articles, professional productions are acceptable for inclusion into articles about theatre pieces. There is precedent for detailed production histories of plays in Wikipedia articles (see Dark of the Moon, The Room, Camino Real, Copenhagen). I am willing to provide ample evidence of secondary reliable sources for all of the productions I have contributed to Wikipedia articles. I truly hope we can resolve this through discussion and consensus, rather than back-and-forth editing changes. Thank you!--Frankgorshin (talk) 20:38, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Matthew D. Sacks

MikeWazowski, You cite some reasons for deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_D._Sacks, most of which are false or have no evidence to support your claims. For these reasons I have rejected your proposed deletion and changes.

(Added {{advert}} - What about the document specifically sounds like an advertisement. All of the information in this article is factual.

The entire article reads like someone trying to make the case that the person is notable. It reads like a press release, which is advertising, in my opionion. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:36, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

{{notability}} - This has already been addressed in the discussion page of the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Matthew_D._Sacks

It has been addressed by you, but not been discussed - it is just you stating your opinion as if it were Holy Writ. You do not get to decide the notability of the person you created the article about - that is for the community to decide. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:36, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

{{primarysources}} - All of the information in this article is factual, none of it is an opinion.

This is not what the template is about - every reference is to something written by Sacks, which is a primary reference as far as Wikipedia is concerned. This tag is accurate. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:36, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Again, not a one of the references are from independent publications discussing Sacks, but to articles written by Sacks - therefor this tag was also accurate and placed correctly.MikeWazowski (talk) 22:38, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

these are not reasons for deletion, they are maintenance tags, and they most defintely apply --[User:MikeWazowski]

When compared to Faredoon Driver, Meredith Starr, Naturally there is notability for Don E stevens himself.

Cult leader

Hi MikeWazowski, I hope that you agree with some of the arguments presented here by Nemonoman: [5]. The article on Don Stevens will be deleted and I doubt enough material can be found to write one that will stand. But as long as it is there, can you please refrain from adding this "cult leader" about Meher Baba? As said in the arguments by Nemonoman, this can well be added in the right place in the article, if the citations are indeed reliable. But adding it to every single mention of Meher Baba anywhere in Wikipedia is putting an undue emphasis on this one opinion. At least the administrator hopes "that discussion should continue at Talk:Meher Baba on whether to include the phrase in that article." Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 03:23, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of JJ Money Article

Hi, hope everything's well. I am a new editor on Wikipedia and I have been getting a feel of what is required for the creation/editing of Wikipedia articles, although there is still a lot that I am learning. I recently posted an article titled JJ Money which received a speedy deletion nomination, and the page was deleted before I had a chance to know what the issue was with the article.

It was suggested to resolve the issue on your talk page so if there is any way I could get a bit more information as to why exactly the page was deleted, and if there is a way the article can be reposted or improved to meet the Wikipedia standards for article writing it would be great if you could share this information with me or advise me in other ways. Thanks a lot, hope to hear from you soon. Mmwater (talk) 17:22, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

To be honest, I have no idea which article that was. I see a lot of them that get tagged and deleted. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:26, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

I received a few messages on my talk page, the first one was to welcome me on Wikipedia as a new editor, but it was notifying me that the page was flagged for a speedy deletion. The second message said that the page had been nominated for a speedy deletion and it listed how to go about retrieving the article. Both included a link to your talk page so I guessed that I would have to contact you about the issue. The date that the page was deleted was Aug 8, 2011, but I'm not sure if that information would help you assist me, hopefully it will. Mmwater (talk) 17:39, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Category:Fan films

I would like to move some of the pages in this category into the subcategories Category:Star Trek fan films or Category:Star Wars fan films as appropriate. This would be consistent with the treatment of pages in Category:Batman fan films. Do you have any objection, as long as I make sure the films are still somewhere within the category tree?

Mary Tyler Moore Show contribution and kill

I've been a big contributor to Wikipedia for years and have never had someone interfere with my extremely accurate contributions...until this week when you removed information that I made to the Mary Tyler Moore Show page.

In the early 90's I was an editor at Encore Video (and other major post houses in Hollywood) and worked directly with many people who used to work for MTM Productions, the company that produced all the shows for the company founded by Grant Tinker and mary Tyler Moore. One of the people I worked with was Mark Tinker, the producer son of Grant Tinker. He told me the information that I contributed to the MTM Show page. Mark Tinker was the individual who was part of the management at MTM who ordered the 35mm negatives of the shows destroyed after they had been archived on inferior 3/4" Umatic tapes. Gaining this knowledge from one of the MTM management team (and son of founder Grant Tinker) makes this information extremely reliable (more so than from some magazine article or even some book). Please refrain from acting so quickly when good contributors are only trying to deliver truthful facts to Wikipedia's pages and to the world.

And, how can I KEEP you from deleting this information when I post it once again?

A Very Upset Contributor,

Mark Howell Filmmaker, Journalist, and TV Editor

You're a "big contributor" with only 31 edits over three years? Wow - I'm amazed that such a "big contributor" is not familiar with such basic concepts as reliable sources, verifiability, and original research - your edits were contrary to all that. The rules here apply to everyone, including you. Without reliable sources, unreferenced additions can be removed - and I'll hope you'll note that more than one editor has reversed your unreferenced additions.

Honorary Alumni

Concerning your edit of Don King not being an Honorary Alumni of Central State University. If you were to take the time to search the string "Honorary Alumni Humane Letters" this is the type of link you would find (https://www.vts.edu/ftpimages/95/misc/misc_95974.pdf) and there are hundreds of them. Every university considers those who they award Honorary Degrees as Honorary Alumni. This is an axiom. Moreover, Central State University has paraded Don King in their brochures as being an alumni of the university.

Next, in the Wiki Category, there is no distinction between Actual or Honorary, nor should there be if universities don't distinguish. I fully agree that earning a degree is drastically different than receiving an honorary degree, but the category is NOT called 'People who Earned a Degree from YADA University' or 'People who Graduated from Yada University'. On the contrary, it is called 'People who are Alumni of YADA University'. Again, Honorary Alumni and Alumni, otherwise they would not be called Alumni at all.

Deletion of my article 'Fidel Castro is Dead'

Hello Mike,

I just discovered that my article is deleted. Am I to understand that notability is no longer an issue? (I did create a talk page).

The explanation for speedy deletion mentioned that the article is an unambiguous self promotion of a self published book. How else do I get this article posted. Do I have to change the language to make it more neutral?

Any indication that you give will be helpful.

Frankly, without some kind of significant coverage from independent reliable sources, I don't see any way that an article on your book could stay. Self-published books rarely do, without some serious coverage. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:21, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

My changes

Mike, My first attempt to post anything on Wiki and I certainly did not intend to leave anything that looked like I was trying to advertise or position us in any leading way, purely stating fact by saying "with a focus on multinational/global business" I updated today and only referred to the countries our firm is currently incorporated in, I trust this meets Wiki guidelines. I do have a question though, how is Newfield IT in the Independent Consultancy Practices when they are owned by Xerox? It would seem to me that if you are looking to keep this page up to date and accurate that Newfield IT should be moved to another section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bfrancis73 (talk • contribs) 12:01, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Completely factual, you've taken it down again without response or explanation yet left up a non-independent in Newfield IT - refer: http://news.xerox.com/pr/xerox/xerox-acquires-newfield-it-expands-managed-print-services.aspx How is that independent??? My business has been providing brand independent consultancy and managed print services for over 12 years and is incorporated in the locations listed so I feel it is more than reasonable that I can post that in this section that is incomplete. It seems I cannot though as you are treating it like your personal domain and protecting it from others who are involved in this industry. Isn't Wikipedia supposed to be a shared site where people can learn about topics and potentially learn about what is available to them? Can you at least tell me what your problem is with my post and why you are so entitled to be the ultimate decision maker as to what can go on this page?Bfrancis73 (talk) 15:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Entry for Benjamin Potter

Mike,

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've noticed you've been attempting to delete filmmaker Benjamin Potter for some time now, despite his accomplishments in television, new media, and film. Perhaps you're not familiar with the business of film and television, but writers often purposefully attempt to remain clear of interviews, the spotlight, etc. I suspect Benjamin Potter is one of them. Although IMDB is easy to edit, credentials on the site are not and must be legitimately backed up with either a television distributor or film festival/film distributor. This argument applies to writers throughout the industry. In the film business, credentials count for everything. It is clear that Benjamin Potter's credentials are worthy of recognition - 2 TV shows on Sky (the biggest cable supplier in Europe), as well as a series of films that have played at major international film festivals.

I'm going to report these deletions to fellow administrators in hope that it will not repeat itself to other distinguished artists out there who don't have much media attention to cite.

Star In The Hood

Hi there MikeWazowski, I would like to now why it is that you have undone my last edit to the article Star In The Hood and restored direct link and COI tag under the reason "Removing promotional content" when if you had taken a look at Talk:Star In The Hood where I have given my explanation on the previous edits that I had made on the article to Drmies then you would see that I have re-ajusted the edits that I had previously made to make the article more in line with Wikipedia's neutra point of view, that is why I had removed the COI tag after making the re-ajustements to the article. If you thought in any way that my last edit to the article was still un-neutral or promotional like you mentioned when you undone my last edit which I made in good faith to the article [Star In The Hood] you could have easily left me a message on my talk page like what Drmies had done explaning what parts in the 4 paragraphs of the article that you believe that I made on my last edit to the article [Star In The Hood] that was still un-neutral or promotional or both, then I would of happily took your word and re-edit the article to what you in fact find exceptable to be un-promotional and neutral, instead of just totally disrespecting me and undoing my edit and restoring the COI tag, accusing me of being affiliated to [Star In The Hood] clothing company when all I was trying to do hear is create the article [Star In The Hood] which should of been created 2 years ago and put the information that I have gotten from the internet which is clearly stated on the articles sources if you take no more than 1 minute to click on them and have a look for yourself MikeWazowski.

Speedy deletion decliined...and more serious problems

First of all, I declined the speedy deletion of DAR motion pictures, as the article has already been nominated for speedy deletion and already declined by me: they are a film studio which has released several major films in India, clearly making them not only "important or significant" but also notable.

More importantly, I am extremely concerns with what I see on your talk page. First of all, I don't see you responding to any of the admins or others who have contested your speedy deletions--you just keeping plowing ahead, and thus causing people extra work to fix your improper tagging. While its fine to make errors, it's a problem to not acknowledge those errors and attempt to improve.

But an even bigger problem are the several sections I see right above me--your complete lack of response to article editors who have concerns about why their article or content is being nominated for deletion. If you are going to tag someone's work for speedy deletion, you have to be willing to discuss and explain it to them. The vast majority of these people simply don't understand how Wikipedia works, and need someone to explain it to them. Many times they still won't be happy, but they'll feel a lot better than if they're just ignored. Sometimes, they may even be able to help fix the problems. Now, I took a look through your contribution history, and I don't see any comments to any editors, or talk page discussions, or, really, anything other than the tagged and mandatory notification. It's possible I'm missing some places where you have communicated, but at least recently, there hasn't been any communication. I even assume you won't respond to this message. But if you are unable or unwilling to communicate with people who dispute your edits, in my opinion, you need to stop CSD tagging. Refusal to engage with other editors, especially new editors, is, in my opinion, directly and clearly harmful to the encyclopedia, because it drives away, with near certainty, every new editor who gets no response from you. This concerns me so much that if I continue to see these problems, I may raise the issue on WP:ANI or elsewhere, because I think such damage needs to be prevented. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry you feel that my not being online to respond to every single item on my talk page is a serious issue, but I don't see it that way... as for the recent comments, Star in the Hood was dealt with on the pages in question, as was Brookfield - my edit summaries clearly spelled out my reasons. Bidzina Kvernadze needed no response, as the prod was quickly replaced with reliable sourcing. I said enough about Clifford Allan Sullivan in the deletion discussion concerning his self-promotion (and in the AfDs on his related projects), and the comment about Benjamin Potter didn't deserve a response, other than my opening a SPI to prove (which it did) that this was yet another sockpuppet of someone who tried to game the system some time ago to create article about himself and his projects trying (and failing) to "scare" me. As for what I nominate for speedy deletion, I think you'll find that the vast majority of the items I do nominate (probably 90%, I'd guess) get removed for valid reasons - I do not nominate things arbitrarily. As for my contributions, you'll find that I've created quite a few articles in my time, and even heavily re-written some in the last few days. Sorry you think this is "damaging", but I don't share that view. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

I guess the problem is that I see you replying only to one out of 6 or seven comments here. I don't think you have to respond to everything (well, actually, I do except for trolling like Behjamin Potter, but that's not a standard held by everyone) but I do think you should be responding more. There's nothing wrong with responding after deletion, either. When I looked at your contributions, I see very few that aren't tagging and notifying. And maybe I'm wrong about your success rate...I was just surprised to see so many declines of your speedy deletion nominations, and no real response to those declines; maybe you do more than I realized, and maybe you are taking to heart the concerns. I, too, have mistagged articles for speedy deletion (in fact, I got criticized for it at my RfA), but I don't see much feedback on the feedback. Your work in keeping WP clear of promotional and non-important junk is important and valuable...I just want to make sure it doesn't come at the consequence of alienating legitimate new editors.

Proposed Deletion of Yash Gera and Sana Khan (Zoya Khan)

Dear Mike,

I got a mail regarding the proposed deletion and would like to place my opinion in front of you.

Yash Gera is a Model, Actor and DJ who is well known in Mumbai where I live. Apart from Modelling he also has made a name as a Disc jockey. He has acted in many Hindi Serials which I have mentioned and also have acted in a Hindi movie which is supposed to be released in 2 months. So I guess that is good reason enough to have his biography on wiki. If you look at the Biography of majority of Hindi Serial Actors (I personally checked many on Wiki) you would find that none of them would be in world news but they would be found in regional articles or news mostly. Getting my first article deleted is definitely a discouragement for me as far as I am concerned. I also intended to make a wiki for Rithvick Dhanjani, Suyash Kumar and Gautam Gulati who are also Television Serial Actors who acted in many TV soaps but may end up having the same problem with you as Yash Gera. So I think if that is the case I should not waste my time and yours writing about them.

I request you to let me know what can be done to save the deletion of Yash Gera. Regarding Sana Khan that was my first draft and I have not added details of the Serials she has acted. But even if I do I guess you would have the same problem as the first case. What can be done, please advice!

Enquiry

To whom it may concern,

In response to the tag for speedy deletion on my article I believe it is unjustified as The University of Delaware sourced the information from my family. Frank Hugh O Donnell was my grandfather. We provided all the information and manuscripts to the Univeristy and the information is listed under an open library catalogue: http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/findaids/odonnell.htm. The article is a reference point to the catalogue and I have referenced the University through a link. I can rephrase the facts if needed and evidence of familial ties can be provided if needed.

(talk page stalker)The page will disappear from Wikipedia's search soon (it usually happens in a few days--the search algorithm always lags behind the encyclopedia by a day or two). As for Google, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do, especially if the page was copied by any of the dozens of sites that automatically copy everything ever added to Wikipedia, or if Google themselves saved a cache of the page. Google's search program is an entirely separate site and organization from ours, and we have no control over what they (or the sites that copy Wikipedia) do. However, if the term is not particularly popular, it should, over time, be replaced with more relevant search terms on Google, hopefully. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:14, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

It was deleted because it was an obvious copyright violation, with the text lifted verbatim from another site. This is not allowed. MikeWazowski (talk) 13:58, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for answering but with all do respect, I really do not agree or at least do not understand your judgment. I understand that editing is difficult as many things must be published daily on wikipedia. However I think that comments must be constructive and a discussion with me before deleting it would have been much better. You deleted the article so you cannot tell me where I so clearly copied a sentence from another site (can you tell me at least which one? which part that I wrote was apparently copied?). If, as I think you do,refer to copying sentences from the Aquaknow website (which I do not think I did, but it is possible as I took inspiration from their website description and other published articles to explain what it is here on wikipedia) an entry which contains a few copied phrases from individual websites or other sources is not considered copyright violation. But, If I did as you say copied whole entire sentences and paragraphs, although I doubt it but if I did im sorry, can you guide me in asking the aquaknow website for permission to import their text maybe? Or at least give me back my article and I will change it, put it in the sandbox or something until it is fine, if you tell me where I "text lifted verbatim" and from where.

Thank you (Giorgina88 (talk) 15:35, 27 September 2011 (UTC))

Actually, I did not delete it - only an administrator can do that. I flagged it as a copyvio, and whatever admin actually did the deletion obviously agreed with that rationale.

But since you still have Robert Johnson and Robert Bly's books on the 'Shadow' page -- who each gave the book glowing recommendations, as did James Hollis, Katie Sanford, and Robert Tompkins -- it doesn't make a lot of sense to delete it. Gaining a better understanding of how the human shadow operates within each one of us is absolutely vital to the survival of the human race. That's all I'm trying to do: promote a better understanding of the human shadow. For confirmation of that, blurbs from experts, and further information about me and my book, please visit www.shadowintheusa.com, or email me at worldviewpress@gmail.com. I'd be happy to work with you to get articles onto Wikipedia which would help promote a better understanding of the human shadow. KP Kay Plumb (talk) 00:49, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Youri Aramin Kemp

Hi Mike,

I'm trying to understand the policy. The entry has credible sources and the like, except for the blog. That can be taken down, but all other souces and sites are legitimate quotes and all other information is true.

Can you assist with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Global View Today (talk • contribs) 15:48, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

CSD A7 on DoBroadband

Hi, wanted to let you know I challenged your CSD A7 on DoBroadband. I think being the largest ISP in South Africa is a sufficient claim of importance. Monty₈₄₅ 01:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I did apply my mind and trying to flesh out the industry here. I'm rather perterbed why major South African's ISP's get the chop while for example Australia doesnt? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Internet_service_providers_of_Australia Seems very inconsistent. But maybe I'm new here and don't understand? --Meepdeedoo (talk) 16:17, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk page questions

I was a bit startled by your choice not to answer Thegracekelly's questions about your edits to Matt Bostrom even though she asked on both the talk page of that article and on your talk page here. I agree with all the tags you had placed on the article. I agree the article had serious problems. I'm grateful that you were patrolling it. (In fact I first came here to thank you for your watching over articles but then got side tracked answering the new editor.) I understand that it is your right to remove comments on your talk page. I just don't agree that edit summary comments take the place of talk page talk. Cloveapple (talk) 08:30, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

The Babysitars

I can assure that this individual/act is certainly well known in the industry and in my own opinion the 'next Nick Drake type'. The act have regular sales and a fan base and are of interest also because of the circumstances in Sitar's life that led to myself discovering this subject. I can assure ytou my intentions are honourable and in touch, I have deliberaetly not included any press until I can obtain permission and will respect wikipedia's rules in future editing of subject. kind regards S.

Business People-Vermont page

I'm surprised that you want to delete the page I created for Business People-Vermont. This is the first page I created, but I was very careful to stick with the facts about the magazine, which is a very important and credible source of information about business people in Vermont that goes back for nearly 30 years. The website was one of the first websites in Vermont, and all the content comes from the pages of the magazine.

There is no offer to sell anything. The company website itself has almost no advertising itself out of thousands of pages of content.

I used the example of Business Week magazine as a general template to see what people would be interested in knowing about a business magazine.

If you will let me know what specifically violates Wikipedia policy, I'll be happy to change it. Thanks for your review.

Lil' Mo

That's all nice but you undid five edits I made which I have to redo. --Muhandes (talk) 08:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Left Right Think-Tank deletion

I strongly contest the deletion of the page for Left Right Think Tank - it is a prominent and productive organisation in Australia public policy and youth affairs, having submitted reports to Federal Parliament, sent a delegate to Tax Forum, been profiled by various newspapers, been supported by major figures in Australian public affairs, from the Minister for Youth to various MPs. Thus, it has more than sufficient merit to warrant a page. - User:EntropicPonderer. —Preceding undated comment added 04:50, 10 October 2011 (UTC).

Re Speedy deletion request

Hi Mike,

I was wondering if you might be able to help me/suggest how I improve my article to make it legitimate/worthy of being on the site.

I am a noob to this, but have tried in all honesty to upload this article in good faith and in a neutral manner.

Do you not think that Arkadiy Abramovich merits a Wikipedia entry? He is the son of one of the most famous and wealthy individuals in the world, and a business man in his own right.

I hope that you can help me and do not just delete this article.

Many thanks,
