== ANSWER ==
Please refer me to the rules where it says that people can be accused of "supporting terrorism" when they don't. Or that its okay to call Jews anti-Semitic because they don't support an openly racial government in their name?[[User:In the Stacks|In the Stacks]] ([[User talk:In the Stacks|talk]]) 15:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

:The passages you are continually removing have citations, and the prevailing opinion on the talk page seems to be against your point of view on the matter. As I said in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:In_the_Stacks&diff=269347959&oldid=263597370 this warning], your actions are looking very much like disruptive editing, and if it continues, you may be blocked to prevent continued disruption.

::That is not true. The prevailing opinion of two individuals, including one with an edit history that accuses people who sell arab clothing (!) of being anti-semitic, is that opposition to Zionism is the same as anti-Semitism. Factually: ANSWER has a far larger percentage of Jews in it than the general population, has never caused or advocated harm to any Jewish person and has positions against anti-Semitism. In other words, recycling "accusation" which are themselves unfounded (that is to say include no examples or documentation) is not verifiable, and is slander. The ADL is not a neutral party. The other news sources make no special claim about ANSWER except that they oppose Israeli actions and have Arab speakers. I fail to see the controversy. If the ADL (or whoever) believes that opposing the actions of Israel is hatred of Jews, then that should be included under the entry for the responsible parties. Further, words such as "terrorist" are ridiculous in general, and all the more so when the two parties (Hezbollah and Hamas) listed are ''elected'' in ''recognized'' elections. It's just propaganda, which I am removing – and then being accused of being disruptive. Since ANSWER is not in fact anti-Semitic, has never harmed or advocated harm against anyone based on their ethnicity or religion, and since the only people who seem to have an issue with it plainly are partisan and highly POV (to the point of calling elected political parties "terrorists" and saying that legal, American organizations "support terrorism" – I see no option but to remove the pejorative and false "allegations". What would you suggest I do, since these claims are lies?[[User:In the Stacks|In the Stacks]] ([[User talk:In the Stacks|talk]]) 21:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

==File:Stalinroosblwh.jpg==

Hi. I requested that you delete the picture I uploaded as I need to check the copyright permissions, but you put it into Commons instead! I have had two pics with the same copyright permissions questioned recently, and subsequently deleted, so I was being very cautious and very wary. On another issue, if I can sort out the copyright problem, I was going to re-scan and do a photoshop clean-up job on it. But now that has gone by the wayside as well.--[[User:Tufacave|Tufacave]] ([[User talk:Tufacave|talk]]) 19:27, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

:Oh. Well, my apologies in that case. You're still more than welcome, however, to sort out the permissions, and if it turns out to be different than you thought, change it, or if incompatible, request deletion from Commons. Likewise, you can also overwrite the existing file with the improved version on Commons. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 19:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

== Query ==
Hi Ben. This is a particular query about an editor, Robert Grant, working under his stage name of "Omega Red" (WP article [[OmegaRed]]) as a hip-hop artist, who has seemingly added himself to the notable people of [[Dorchester, Massachusetts]], etc. He has been in the Boston Globe newspaper and featured, so that's okay. But if it's him, is it okay he wrote himself into some articles ? Maybe so. I had to correct his links. The user in question is [[Special:Contributions/Robertgrant1976]] ... Maybe nothing is to be done since it's okay. Just checking. People do self-promote on Wikipedia sometimes. But he is the nephew of Donna Summer and an established artist. It's just who wrote him into the article. Minor point. Best wishes. --- (Bob) [[User:Wikiklrsc|Wikiklrsc]] ([[User talk:Wikiklrsc|talk]]) 23:51, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

== Silur Shakhtarsk ==

OK. The article was about one of the soccer clubs that played in the lower divisions of the [[Ukrainian]] championship. No body explained me why this article seemed to be of no importance. The reference that you have provided makes non of any sence. Silur, appearently, is some German rock band or something, that is correct. But Silur Shakhtarsk has nothing to do with it. It's not an album of that band, but rather a former organization that paticipated in the professional sport event. The sources, I agree, were somewhat doubtful, but what if there never were anything written about that subject. Does that mean that it should be forgotten or what? I do not see the logic. Can you, please, give me more details in that regard? [[User:Aleksandr Grigoryev|Aleksandr Grigoryev]] ([[User talk:Aleksandr Grigoryev|talk]]) 00:22, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

:[[FC Silur Shakhtarsk]] was correctly speedily deleted as an article that made no assertion of notability. See [[WP:CSD#A7]].

== Help ==

Hello Ben. Im a new user... and as Im from Switzerland I will mainly contribute articles to the german and to the french Wikipedia. Two days ago I wrote my first article (about a ship: the full rigged sailing vessel West Point). I think that this article could also be interesting for american readers, as this ship carried tenthousends of migrants to the new world. Thats why I translated the article into english, but unfortunately I just have poor english language skills. Now Im looking for somebody who is a native English speaker with a profound knowledge of shipping subjects, that is willing to correct my article, right after I upload it. I think it will be a lot of work! I saw, that you wrote the article about the SS America, thats why I'ld like to ask you, if you could help me? --[[User:Rectilinium|Rectilinium]] ([[User talk:Rectilinium|talk]]) 01:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

== KTAA ==

I just wanted to follow up on your declining my request for a speedy to facilitate a move to this article name. I'd agree with your assessment of the [[KCCV-FM]] article, that the list of the affiliate stations for the network of which it's the flagship overwhelms the content on the that station itself. That's not the problem I'm trying to solve, though. [[KTAA]] is a member of that network, and there's a redirect from that to the [[KCCV-FM]] article. However, there's also a separate article about KTAA, which is misnamed [[KTAA-FM]]. All I'm looking to do is delete the redirect, so that the [[KTAA-FM]] article can be moved to its correct call sign. Long-term, the best approach might be to just have an article on the Bott Radio Network, if all the stations are a straight simulcast, and redirect all the stations to it. In the meantime, however, I think it makes sense to have this article at its correct name. [[User:Mlaffs|Mlaffs]] ([[User talk:Mlaffs|talk]]) 15:54, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

== Speedy Deletion of Company ==

You did a speedy deletion of adenin Technologies Inc. claiming blatant advertising. I created the page based on facts using other company wiki pages (still up) as an example. In fact, it was much shorter than most. There was no "marketing" speak such as "great" "premier" "leading company."

The company had listings in other pages -- to show it was not an orphan. Yet its competitors (look at Sharepoint -- it has many of its own pages) retain their wiki pages. Appreciate your help in how to get the company back online fair and square. We followed wiki's recommendations. Thank you.

:I contend that [[Adenin]] was properly deleted as blatant advertising. While the call on what is blatant advertising is somewhat subjective, I agree with original nominator [[User:16x9|16x9]]'s judgement that the article meets the criterion laid out at [[WP:CSD#G11]]. However, speedy deletions are generally made without prejudice to a neutrally written and well-referenced article being created in the future. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 00:28, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

How about pointing to several company pages as examples of Encyclopedic and acceptable entries? Also, why not just remove the link where the company was fairly mentioned by name as a provider or competitor of the product instead of deleting it altogether? In other words, instead of deleting all of [[Adenin]], change it to adenin (without the link). Because the entire name was deleted -- it gives a negative impression.

:As you probably gathered, there is a story behind how we ended up with this photo. We had a succession of non-free images on the article previously, but all had various issues related to sourcing. None of them had good sourcing for use, and so we had to nominate them for deletion. Then in order to have an image, a user took [[:File:RMS Queen Mary Long Beach.jpg]] and did some heavy editing to it, to make it look like the ''Queen Elizabeth'', and that's where we stand today. Honestly, I was shocked to find out that it *wasn't* the QE in the photo, since it is definitely dead on.

== Edgar Allan Poe article issue ==
Hi Ben. I was wondering if you could help out on this one. I had read briefly a book by [[Peter Ackroyd]] on [[Edgar Allan Poe]] called "Poe: a life cut short". I tried to add it as Further Reading to the Wikipedia article on Poe, since it's topical and new, but [[User:Midnightdreary]] keeps reverting it out saying the book is full of inaccuracies. I'm no Poe scholar, but I checked reviews in the London Times and Christian Science Monitor and there was no mention of inaccuracies in the book by Ackroyd. [[User:Midnightdreary]] is obdurate on this matter and leads up to a 3RR problem which I don't wish to involve myself in. I asked him for scholarly citations for the inaccuracies as found in respected reviews or journals but nothing has been provided. Might you have a look at the Poe article ? Best wishes and many thanks. I assume good faith with the editor but I'm not sure of the claim. --- (Bob) [[User:Wikiklrsc|Wikiklrsc]] ([[User talk:Wikiklrsc|talk]]) 17:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
:Well, that was quick. I'm not sure why this user is campaigning for support already. I'm already engaged in discussion, quite civilly, and wasn't trying to be obstinate. "Keeps reverting" is an incredibly loaded word choice; In fact, we weren't close to a 3RR violation. The first revert was accurate (removed from list of references since it wasn't referenced). The second was because the book is not a good source worthy of inclusion as "Further reading". The discussion then started. Not sure why you're choosing to re-insert disputed material as the material is still under dispute. At this point, we should probably talk it out ''first'' before we decide what to do. In the meantime, it would have been more appropriate to leave the article as it was! Sorry if sounded obstinate, but that's how these discussions work! --[[User:Midnightdreary|Midnightdreary]] ([[User talk:Midnightdreary|talk]]) 19:13, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for having a look, Ben. I'd tend to agree with you but I will keep the community peace on it if we can't reach a consensus with [[User:Midnightdreary]]. I'm a bit befuddled on this one. Ackroyd's book on Poe ''is'' being read in the popular world. Best wishes. --- (Bob) [[User:Wikiklrsc|Wikiklrsc]] ([[User talk:Wikiklrsc|talk]]) 01:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== Deletion of: Burpee's Seedy Theatrical Company ==

Hi there, I'm not a regular poster, so I don't tend to log on to check what little I've edited. Could you let me know who the article for Burpee's Seedy Theatrical Company (from Denison University) was deleted? There was no advertising intended, the article was created to help acknowledge a few important organization in the improv comedy world. As the oldest college improv troupe (and one of the oldest at all), and one that saw the launching of a great many careers, I feel like it at least deserves it's place as an outgrowth from Denison's main site. I am asking you to consider un-deleting this material. If you want parts of it re-written or added to, I am happy to make that work out, I just don't think that an organization like this should be ignored. Thank you! <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:DMTyler|DMTyler]] ([[User talk:DMTyler|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DMTyler|contribs]]) 14:28, 9 March 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:The article was deleted under [[WP:CSD#G12|speedy deletion criterion G12]], which is blatant copyright infringement. Because of this, I am unable to restore the article, but the deletion is without prejudice to the creation of a new, non-infringing article. However, considering that the article had been deleted four times prior to my seeing it, you certainly do have an uphill battle in establishing notability for this organization. Regarding the G11 deletion (blatant advertising) that I made on the article, that was made in error (G11 and G12 are next to each other in [[WP:TW|Twinkle]]'s deletion box). That is why the article was restored and then immediately deleted again as G12. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 03:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I see what part you were talking about, and I apologize for it. I received that from another source, not realizing that it was previously published. I'll take some time before I try to repost. I'll see if I can back up my claims a little better with a little more solid evidence. Thanks!

Hi there. Thanks for speedy deleting the above article. However, I don't believe that your decision to salt the article was correct. While it is true that the article has been deleted eight times now, it had not been created for more than 18 months before today. I believe that the chances of it being recreated again before the player reaches notability are fairly small, and so I believe that it should be unsalted. – [[User:PeeJay2K3|Pee]][[User talk:PeeJay2K3|Jay]] 19:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

== deletion of [[Coffeedonkey]] ==

Hi, I noticed that you deleted the article I tagged under a different criteria (G1 instead of G3). Was I in error, or do you feel that the article could have been deleted under G3 as well? I no longer remember the contents of the article so I can't tell. But I seem to remember that there was some sort of "context". Thanks in advance. <tt>[[User:Decltype|decltype]]</tt> ([[User talk:Decltype|talk]]) 14:39, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

:Distinguishing between G1 and G3 is kind of a judgement call, because what is "patent nonsense" to one user is "pure vandalism" to another, and vice versa. G3 does have some additional criteria, but those didn't apply in this case, since this was an either-or. All in all, I wouldn't sweat it, since the two criteria ''do'' overlap a bit, and I'm personally inclined to delete all the overlap as G1 (and this was in that overlap area where both applied).

== Userpage deletion ==

Uh, why did you delete my userpage? G11 says criteria for speedy deletion includes "Pages that exclusively promote some entity and that would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." Well my userpage didn't ''exclusively'' promote some entity that was unencyclopedic (how encyclopedic do I need to be? It's my personal userpage). I used it to talk about the things I've done; there wasn't even a direct download link to any music I've made so if that's advertising then fine, it must be something I'm horrible at. A company or product (which in this case is really just underground music) was ''not'' the only content of the userpage, as I went on to describe my personal interests and such, and as G11 goes on to explain, "simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." Well if that's the case for articles with nothing more than a company or product as its subject, then you shouldn't have speedily deleted my userpage, which was not strictly bound to a product (again this is an awkward word to call it since I'm assuming you deleted the page because of the one paragraph that talks about underground music I've created that doesn't cost anything). [[User:Rtiztik|Kraid]] ([[User talk:Rtiztik|talk]]) 20:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

:You were using your userpage to advertise your bands. Blatant advertising. [[User:SchuminWeb|SchuminWeb]] ([[User talk:SchuminWeb|Talk]]) 21:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

::I only have ''one'' band. The page described other things like collaborations with others, and my personal interests, but otherwise the page only described one band entity that ''physically exists in reality''; I can't put it much clearer than that. Blatant violation of administratorship. As I said earlier, the G11 you used against me says that pages used for advertising don't necessarily need to be speedily deleted, and considering my userpage wasn't exclusively dedicated to the music I have created (which in addition was explained in a neutral tense, rather than the tone of ''truly'' blatant advertising), you should not have deleted it. You should have tagged it and let me know what the problem was. [[User:Rtiztik|Kraid]] ([[User talk:Rtiztik|talk]]) 21:32, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
