User talk:Kinu/Archive 12

In the event of persistent vandalism, administrators are authorized to semiprotect this talk page for a reasonable duration to prevent further disruption.

Are you here because I deleted/reverted something you had contributed? Read me first, please!

More than likely, the reason you're here is because I deleted something you had contributed. Before writing here, why not see if you can answer your question yourself? If your article was speedy deleted, please read the reason in the deletion log. Also note that, while I may have been the one to actually perform the deletion, another editor was likely the one who actually tagged it for deletion. If so, they left a message on your talk page, so please read the information there first. It might be a good idea to have a dialogue with them in lieu of with me. If your article was about a band, please see WP:MUSIC. Wikipedia administrator User:Chrislk02 explains our speedy deletion of band articles in more depth here. If your article was about a company you work for, founded, etc., please see WP:COI. Chances are your article looked like WP:SPAM. Take a moment to think about whether it could be considered advertising. If your article was a joke... no thanks. If I reverted content that I say was unsourced or poorly sourced, please see WP:RS. Verifiability is taken seriously around here. If your question still isn't answered or your would like more clarification... Post a new message at the bottom of my talk page. If you post it at the top, do something to break the formatting of this page, or replace everything on this page with your question, I will likely ignore and/or delete it. Common courtesy, please. For a new topic, use a headline that's more descriptive than "my article". For best results, make the topic the title of the article. I deal with scores of articles a day, and I'm not going to go hunting for one. Sign and date your entries using ~~~~ or the signature icon in the toolbar above the edit box. Avoid comparisons and provide reliable sources for me to consider. Glib rants that compare your three-piece garage metalcore band to Metallica or that say your website is just as important as Google generally won't sway anyone. Communication that is in ALL CAPS, is barely in English, lacks punctuation, is otherwise poorly worded or incoherent, contains profanity/personal attacks, or generally assumes bad faith will likely be reverted. I have no obligation to respond to anything that I feel does not benefit the project. Thank you, and happy editing!

Are you here to ask me to perform an administrative action (a block, page protection, deletion, etc.)? Read me first, please!

If there is an issue that you feel requires or would benefit from my attention and administrative tools specifically, because we have communicated regarding it previously or you have other reasons to believe I might be the right person to deal with it, please feel free to create a section on my talk page! However, for general requests for administrative actions, it is best to file a report at the proper venue (WP:AIV, WP:RFPP, WP:ANI, etc.) instead of pinging me specifically, for the reasons outlined below. While it may appear that I am active based on my recent contributions, I do tend to jump from task to task here (and between here and the "real world") quite frequently. Thus, even though I may be actively performing administrative work during one short spell, I may not be during the next, instead focusing on another task (either on-wiki or in the "real world"). Likewise, if I have a high level of activity at a particular board and have actioned many reports, but not one that you have already filed there, it may be because I do not feel comfortable actioning it: I may not have a full understanding of the context and/or history or actually be involved with the editor/article in some way. That being said, any information you provide with the good-faith intention of maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia, either here or to the relevant noticeboard, is appreciated! Rest assured that someone will act on it appropriately in due time.

User:Wickedangry

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here. Hello Kinu. I just wanted to let you know that Wickedangry (talk · contribs) has gone right back to the edit warring that you blocked them for last week. They have yet to make a post on an article talk page so it is tough to get through to them about consensus. I did inform them about that on my talk page but they seem to have ignored it. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD | Talk 16:45, 20 August 2012 (UTC) FYI, here's the warning I left about 20 minutes before you blocked this account: User talk:Wickedangry#Administrator's warning; I had declined to block this person at WP:AIV and left this warning. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 18:54, 20 August 2012 (UTC) Thanks for letting me know. I felt a block was appropriate here in that the user was clearly aware of the issue here; it looks like McDoobAU93 had left a message indicating the issue (at 16:13), but this editor chose to ignore that and continue the edit war (at 16:19). To me, this smacks of bad faith or possible WP:CIR. I've left a caveat to the block notice on their talk page; if they can show they are willing to cease the edit war, I have no objections to an unblock. --Kinu t/c 18:58, 20 August 2012 (UTC) I'm fine with the subsequent message you left Wickedangry about unblocking -- let's see if he/she responds affirmatively. I hope they do; clearly they have passion but as you note competence and good faith are necessary, too. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 19:17, 20 August 2012 (UTC) My thanks to you both in dealing with this editor. I have been off-wiki since I left my first post. There have been attempts to inform this person about our policies (here is my response to a post they made on my talk page from two days ago User talk:MarnetteD#pregnancies. Regretfully, this person just doesn't seem to be very responsive to any other editor. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 19:25, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

User:Inetcafebooth6

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here. I think you are being a little hasty blocking talk page access for this user. Possibly I am assuming too much good faith, but I just left him a message, edit conflicting with your decline. It seems to me that we need if possible to make progress by discussion, rather than just walk away. Rich Farmbrough, 02:18, 25 August 2012 (UTC). And this would be helped if you restored his talk page access. Rich Farmbrough, 03:35, 30 August 2012 (UTC). To be frank, I'm not going to do this. This user's behavior and block was discussed at length on his talk page and on Jimbo's talk page and was found to be legitimate. That being said, this user has several remedies at his disposal if he wishes to contest this block and contribute again. He may contact any of the administrators who imposed any of the blocks against his account, either on the basis of sockpuppetry or disruptive editing. He may contact the checkuser who performed the actual sockpuppet investigation. He may also contact ArbCom with a legitimate request to have this block reviewed. I would say that, of these remedies, the last is the most appropriate, because of what I consider the inappropriate repeated e-mails (including at what I consider a "work" address) and calls (yes, on the telephone) from this person; I do not feel that other editors should be subjected to that as well. This borderline harassment by this user is not earning any favor with me, considering I had nothing to do with this user's case other than preventing him from posting additional irrelevant unblock requests. That being said, if you wish to engage with this user, I would ask that you contact one of the other aforementioned administrators involved in this matter; I have my reservations, but would not be unsupportive if another set of eyes felt compelled to restore his talk page access. However, I personally see no reason to do so, and instead recommend that he contact ArbCom. --Kinu t/c 16:39, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Diary of a Bad Man

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here. There was a DRV on July 1st - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2012_July_1 which looks like it went for restore. Opinions varied between AfD it again and it's OK. Personally, I'd go for a delete at AfD. Mention is made of new sources, but no-one has bothered to add them - whatever they are... Peridon (talk) 20:47, 4 September 2012 (UTC) Ha... I thought the DRV that said it was from August was the most recent one, but that was from 2011. Obviously the July one from 2012 would be newer... . Anyway, I'm inclined to agree with you. I'll try to see what these alleged sources are and do some WP:BEFORE, and then if I'm not satisfied I might send it to AfD again. Thanks for letting me know. --Kinu t/c 17:00, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thompson and User talk:Ethanagray; I don't think the user was a vandal; he was a new user, not understanding our collaborative editing process and how it was applied to an article he'd just started. Given our difficulties with editor retention, please consider how we might differentiate between confused newbies (however frustrating their actions may be) and deliberate vandals, and how you can help the former to become productive editors.

Vandal block

This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here. Hello Kinu. Some time ago you blocked this IP for vandalism on several road signs article. The IP has since continued, and I must now ask you to block it permanently. It's a sock a Jermboy27 (as he is known on Commons). Fry1989 eh? 01:28, 15 September 2012 (UTC) This one looks static, but I'm still hesitant to block IPs indefinitely. Nonetheless, I've gone ahead and taken this one out of commission for a year per WP:DUCK. --Kinu t/c 02:54, 16 September 2012 (UTC) Thank you, unfortunately Jermboy27 seems to have access to plenty of IPs and doesn't wanna go away. IDK what we can do besides a range block but I know people don't like the idea of that. Fry1989 eh? 17:41, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

deletion of MaK(Verge Game Studio) and Verge Game Studio

I do not mean to seem unfriendly! Currently you deleted the two mentioned articles. In case or "Verge Game Studio" i can understand because of the speedy deletion and i read and understood your arguments, but i dont think that the article "MaK(Verge Game Studio)" meets with your argumentation! Both articles were under constuction and on Mak was a mark that i have seven days to edit more details. About the advertisement: I tried to make the two sides objective, so i generally took the two sides Mojang and Minecraft as templates and inserted information i could find over the company and the game. I also got the affirmation from Verge Game Studio that they would increase the information by quality and quantity.

If you recognize my argumentation why this sides didn't need to be deleted, is there a way to restore them of do a have to make them in my sandbox first?

thanks

P.S: New account, my old one "Bot91" also got deleted :( Bau912 (talk) 14:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your active help!

Hello. I appreciate your concern for actively taking part in the edits. But please try and understand that the professor who the page belongs to, he does not want his page up on Wikipedia in public. I made that page for him as a token of my appreciation for him on becoming the dean of the college I was studying in. Also, since I have left that college and transferred to a completely different country altogether, it is not possible for me to stay in touch with him and update his page. I have no idea whatsoever about his academic and professional commitments and by not updating his page, I feel it a guilt and injustice to him, myself and most of all, the readers of Wikipedia. I request you to please take the page off Wikipedia and delete it. Thank you! PhreakSoul (talk) 18:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Per deletion policy, because the subject appears to have some sort of notability, a deletion discussion must occur. If at the end of the deletion discussion there is consensus to delete based on policies and guidelines (or if there is no consensus and the subject provides an indication himself that he wishes to have the article deleted), then this would be the outcome. However, because the subject's article makes a claim of notability and there have been multiple editors working on the article, no one can unilaterally decide on deletion via speedy deletion. If you wish to pursue deletion further, please follow the process at WP:AFD. Thanks. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:55, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Kings Island Facts

You deleted this sub page Kings Island Facts, This page is a subpage for Kings Island to contain lists of facts that do not belong on the main page for GA Staandard reasons. Please undo this.--Nickvet419 (talk) 02:41, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I see you've recreated the fork article... it's been tagged for speedy again, but I'll leave it be. However, one could make the argument that if such content is relevant to the subject, then it belongs in the article in order to flesh it out for GA standards, but if it isn't, then it really doesn't belong anywhere. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:01, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: GemSelect

Hello Kinu. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of GemSelect, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: not that spammy and claims importance "largest suppliers of precious gems in the world". WP:CORP may not be met though, so it probably needs to go to WP:AFD. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 17:06, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

To be honest, the article as written contained almost zero useful content, except for a link to this source. I am hesitant to restore an article that does not show why the subject is notable and cannot be salvaged; however, you are certainly more than welcome to create a new sourced article on the subject. --Kinu ^t/_c 21:44, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Dai Ling Ping Deletion

can you explain why the Dai Ling Ping Wiki was deleted. i have read over various comments that the character is not notable and also that a google search resulted in minimal hits. a recent search has given me 7,120,000 results. although Dai Ling Ping is a fictional character created by Mr LBX Media by the actor and comedian Mr LBX. we feel that the character is almost definately notable and somewhat a well known celebrity in wales.also an in depth search will also reveal that Mr LBX has one of the fastest growing brands in the uk today.thankyou for your time
