==Delete Happy==

You like deleting things. Reading down through this list of deletions and complaints, it seems unclear whether you are really concerned about Wikipedia's guidelines, or that it should only include what YOU personally think is important. I think that history is all around us. History is in beauty pageants that we might not like and in many other things that we don't personally value, but that are valuable to huge numbers of other people. If your goal is actually to help Wikipedia, I hope you continue to keep this in mind. Often what is required is not deletion, but improvement in references, writing style, etc. You seem very smart... I'm sure that a lot of the time you could help writers improve their entries in a positive way. What Marcel Duchamp called art, another man might call a urinal.

Delete Happy

You like deleting things. Reading down through this list of deletions and complaints, it seems unclear whether you are really concerned about Wikipedia's guidelines, or that it should only include what YOU personally think is important. I think that history is all around us. History is in beauty pageants that we might not like and in many other things that we don't personally value, but that are valuable to huge numbers of other people. If your goal is actually to help Wikipedia, I hope you continue to keep this in mind. Often what is required is not deletion, but improvement in references, writing style, etc. You seem very smart...

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Dear User "The Banner",

I really appreciate your work on Michelin star restaurants in the Netherlands. It is a superb source of data. Actually, together with a colleague, we would like to use this data for a research project. I have some additional questions related to the data and it would be great if we could get in contact about it. I have created the Wikipedia account "Researchguy11", but I am not sure if Wikipedia allows for communication and/or if you are interested in sharing your insights on Michelin star restaurants and your documentation efforts. If so, maybe you can write me on my "Researchguy11" page. Thanks and all the best! Researchguy11 (talk) 10:07, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Goodbye Miss Supranational.

Well - goodbye Miss Supranational. Finally, the heels have come off that particular meat show. Now we can start clearing out the dead wood. I've already XFD'd a couple of the winners and requested speedies for others. Mabalu (talk) 00:52, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have the nasty feeling that many of those article are created or edited by sockpuppets/meatpuppets of user Mrdhimas. When you check google, you can see that he is a professional organiser of beauty pageants. The Banner talk 11:36, 1 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey - For your info: I am trying to kick off a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Beauty pageant contestants, for your info. I think given the extent of the problem, we need some FIRM rules establishing. There has been a precedent in the past to consider individuals notable as national title-holders - and given that we have stubs on non-entity sportspeople who were once in a football team in the 1960s and never heard of again, I personally don't have a problem with these national title-holders having equivalent stubs (although I don't have to LIKE it.) Mabalu (talk) 11:24, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a new one for you: Jogil9630 - just added a new Miss Supranational picture to Mutya Datul's page and is solely editing beauty pageant articles with Supranational connections. It quacks like a duck... Mabalu (talk) 11:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thirteen

I appreciate your congratulations, but the article did not get promoted unfortunately, so they are unnecessary.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 18:17, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, you never made a comment supportive or unsupportive of promotion, so I am curious as to whether you believe the article was FA-ready or not. Thanks--L1A1 FAL (talk) 18:37, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, you are right, it was the article Megadeth that got promoted. Even when I had know that there was a vote, I would not have voted. As stated in my comment, I do not know anything about Megadeath and do not appreciate the music. So, I would not have been able to judge it. The Banner talk 18:47, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, ok. Well, in any case, I appreciate your input on the review. Happy editing--L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:33, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

George Tiller

Excuse me! The NYTimes article specifically says that he struggled with substance abuse, overcame his addiction and served on the Kansas Medical Society's committee on impaired physicians. The only thing I have added is the fact that the substances in question were prescription pain killers. Goblinshark17 (talk) 07:23, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nor the painkillers, nor the addiction is mentioned in the article, so you should not mention it. The Banner talk 07:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have reposted it without the words "addiction" or "pain killers". Just words used in the NYT article.
Dr. Tiller's success in overcoming his addiction and his service on the impaired physicians committee were a source of pride for him, and should be mentioned in any biographical article about him. Goblinshark17 (talk) 07:35, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
QUESTION: Are you ok with my transferring the discussion of the O'Reilly factor's comments on Dr. Tiller to its own section? I don't think it belongs in the CAREER section; O'Reilly's opinions have nothing to do with Dr. Tiller's career! Also, I have added a paragraph detailing Dr. Tiller's board certification, professional membership, and staff position to the CAREER section. If you revert these entries, please leave a note on my TALK page explaining why. Thanks. Goblinshark17 (talk) 08:02, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bad faith

Copied from another post: We have WP:Before as a guideline, ignored by you on dozens of such articles. It is not rocket science to google each of these names. Major American Newspapers, otherwise known as WP:RS are doing coverage of each contestant. There is also a ton of gossip chatter. To say there is nothing but Facebook is a misrepresentation of the facts. The worldwide pageant is nothing but a publicity event centered around these contestants. For that one week, they are celebrities. For a different period of time, each of them is a national celebrity in their homeland winning the national pageant. What completely irks me is I have to spend hours of my time rescuing each of these articles separately, getting deep into a subject I care little about, because you have spread this damage around in little pieces, instead of taking this subject as a whole and making one reasonable discussion that I probably would have missed. Now I have to search, copy, paste. This could have been avoided with a little effort on your part but apparently removing content (justified or not) from wikipedia is more important to you. That is bad faith. Wikipedia does not prosper with editors behaving like this. Trackinfo (talk) 18:42, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not an advertising medium. Wikipedia is also wider than the USA. That you don't agree, okay, but stop assuming bad faith. Most of them have a very temporarily fame and are just notable for one event. The Banner talk 21:12, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I got a "notification" of mention thingie but don't see my name here. Anyhow, what Trackinfo is saying explains why he is pissed. It is not a surprise. Winning a nation's primary beauty pageant is simply a big deal in current world culture. Far more than being a footie player who appears in a few games in 1972 for Manchester United or won a bronze medal at the 1904 Olympics, i.e., the thousands and thousands of "one event" instances which are never thought to fall under that policy.--Milowent • hasspoken 14:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
rather sad rant
Its a little early to rub your face in it, but the trend is already established. Of the 20 articles of beauty contestants (none of which I created) you nominated for deletion, 13 have been Keep 5 have been No Concensus the jury is still out on two of them. You have successfully gotten your way to delete content zero times. So by wikipedia consensus standards, who is in the right and who is in the wrong? Who needs to look in the mirror about their actions being detrimental to the community? That would be you. I tried to point this out to you earlier. Your deletion actions are a major negative force within wikipedia. Most of your nominations are poorly researched and you present a weak case in support. To put it bluntly, you do not speak intelligently about the subjects you comment on. You have taken to lying to defend your arguments. With WP:RS, lies get disproven. That is why you have lost almost every argument I have participated in. I suggested this before and you chose not to listen. Get out of the content deletion business. Find something better to do with your time and your skills. Not everything you have done is negative. I haven't challenged every edit you have made. You've made some very valid additions to wikipedia even in subjects I care about. Thats good. Keep doing that. Do something positive rather than behave negatively toward other editors and the work they produce. And that goes to simple definitions, + addition is positive, - deletion is negative. So I have resolved I cannot talk sense to you. That does not mean I will stop challenging every disingenuous attempt you make to delete content. I will show up prepared and informed. And that zero in your success column shows all your effort is going nowhere. Stop wasting your time and my time. Stop nominating articles for deletion. Trackinfo (talk) 20:34, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I love your 100% negative approach and your battleground mentality. Unfortunately, that mentality and your continued personal attacks are not the way to bring Wikipedia forward. Just prove the notabilty of the ladies with independent reliable sources, that is the only thing I care about. I don't care at all about your hurt feelings, I care about the reliability of Wikipedia. I am not playing games, as you do. And please, don't make a joke about yourself by following me around to shout NO in each and every AfD from my hand.

Subhash Ghai - Career Section Edit

Hi, First of all I am sorry for again editing the page without checking your message. I have informed this to TheRedPenOfDoom. Source Link : http://muktaarts.com/subhash-ghai/ . Please guide me if I am not following the correct way. Thanks, Seemantraj (talk) 06:15, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are not there yet. You have to prove the information you want to add with independent reliable sources. The company website is clearly not independent. Social media (amongst others Facebook, Linkedin and YouTube) are also not considered reliable sources. The Banner talk 09:07, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ALR Piranha

Why did you nominate it for deletion? It was a real project, with cokpit mokeup, with windtunnel tests with HAS layout, with RC controlled modell. It was the last project of an swiss fighter aircraft after the FFA N-20 and FFA P-16. an important project for the swiss military.Only because it was never build? this is no reason. we have other aircraft projects here on wikipedia North American XF-108 Rapier, Boeing 2707, Lockheed L-2000, Antonov An-218. FFA P-16 (talk) 23:57, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was just a plan, not eve close to realisation. And poorly sourced with just one article in a magazine. The Banner talk 07:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was a project yes, but the build a cockpit 1:1 layout, the mad differen tests on windtunnel modells, they thested flightcharacteristics on raido controled scale models, the had plans for special HAS shelters for it.. so its not just a few drawings. It is a project like the ones Bell X-16Lockheed CL-1200 Rockwell X-30 North American XF-108 Rapier, Boeing 2707, Lockheed L-2000, Antonov An-218.

Dübendorf AFB

Why do you delet out the part about the future of Dübendorf AFB. It is what will be happen to this AFB vom 2016 to araound 2022. Since short after WW2 dübendorf was 100% military airfild. had fighterjet do 2007. Helicopters and Prop aircraft today .it is a Miltary Air base, in the future is mil&civil aviatic and the inovationspark. the refrences [1] clearly say this.I have translatet some important parts with google, you can check it if you don't belive me.". Unter anderem die Geschäftsfliegerei und die Kleinaviatik sollen dort eine Basis erhalten" =Among other things, the business aviation and sportaircrat pilots are there get a base."Es soll künftig deshalb dreiteilig genutzt werden: Erstens als Flugfeld für den Bund, zweitens für die zivile Fliegerei und drittens für einen Innovationspark."=It should therefore continue to be used in three parts: First, as an airfield for the federal government, secondly for civil aviation and thirdly for Innovation Park."Konkret soll es im Norden des Flugplatzes einen Standort für Helikopter geben. Diesen Platz wird sich das VBS mit der Schweizerischen Rettungsflugwacht (Rega) und der Zürcher Kantonspolizei teilen, alle drei haben eigene Helikopter."=Specifically, it is intended to provide a location for helicopters in the north of the airfield. This location, the VBS will share with the Swiss Air Rescue (Rega) and the Zurich cantonal police, all three have their own helicopter."Daneben bleibt genügend Platz bleibt für den Innovationspark. Rund 70 Hektaren sind dafür reserviert, wie Bundesrätin Doris Leuthard (cvp.) an der Medienkonferenz ausführte"= In addition, there is sufficient space remains for the Innovation Park. About 70 hectares are reserved for how Federal Councillor Doris Leuthard (cvp.) Executed at the press conference. This future plans are a importannt thing for the AFB so it should be also here in wikipedia. FFA P-16 (talk) 09:29, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is clerly said that the REGA and the Police Helicopters have to move to the NORD, next to the Military helicopter (REGA is at the moment on the opposide side of the AFB to the mil helicopters, Police Helicopter is at the moment on the top of the AFB at that place weher the Inovations Park will be built) in the ref its clerly said that the have to move to the nord:Konkret soll es im Norden des Flugplatzes einen Standort für Helikopter geben. Diesen Platz wird sich das VBS mit der Schweizerischen Rettungsflugwacht (Rega) und der Zürcher Kantonspolizei teilen, alle drei haben eigene Helikopter = Specifically, it is intended to provide a location for helicopters in the north of the airfield. This location, the VBS will share with the Swiss Air Rescue (Rega) and the Zurich cantonal police, all three have their own helicopter. Please ask me first if you don't understand what is written in german languaged references (sadly no english ref aboout this topic found), I will translate it for you as good as i can. I hope evertying is clear now. if you have questions please ask. FFA P-16 (talk) 17:39, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry i don't agree with you to delet this. Every point who you had sayd is no refernce about it, i had shown you and translatet. I offered you to anser any question you have about it. But you dident askedt a thing an but it for deletion. sorry but this is not nice. I have votet to keep it because it is an important place for the swiss aviatic history and it is still today an important place in the aviatic topic as it is also the home of the Swiss air force HQ and of the civil &military ATC Skyguide. FFA P-16 (talk) 22:35, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can read German quite good and there is nothing their about moving. You are making things up that are not in that source. And in my experience, that is not the first time. The Banner talk 03:03, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What should i have made up?. Everything you put into question is in that refrerence. I shoed you and translatet it also to english. It clearly say that the REGA and Police Helicopters have to move :Konkret soll es im Norden des Flugplatzes einen Standort für Helikopter geben. Diesen Platz wird sich das VBS mit der Schweizerischen Rettungsflugwacht (Rega) und der Zürcher Kantonspolizei teilen, alle drei haben eigene alle drei haben eigene Helikopter.So if they put all helicopters together in the nord, the REGA and Police have to move to the nord because they are at the moment on other locations on LSMD.

iHeartRadio Music Festival

I noticed that you removed a huge section of content on the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Can you please restore the removed content? It includes all the performances that happened over those years. Otherwise, nobody would be able to figure out who performed each year. Can you please restore the content? Paul Badillo (talk) 16:39, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ehm, no. The list is completely unsourced, highly promotional and far too much detail. It is enough to point to external websites for the complete setlist but they have no encyclopaedic value. The Banner talk 16:51, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Father Achiel Delaere

Hello, You helped earlier today with this article. Could you change his first name Achiel in the title of the article to Achille, the way it is in the rest of the article? I don't know how to do that. Thank you again for your help. Nicola Mitchell (talk) 01:22, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done You could have used the option "Move" on the top of the page. The Banner talk 08:33, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Thank you for your help in changing the name. A sign has come up on my talk page which I don't understand. It reads: A tag has been placed on File:Father Achiel Delaere.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated. I'm not quite sure whether this has something to do with the name change. This picture of Father Delaere is the only one I could find to put into the Wikipedia article, and I registered it as Achiel rather than Achille due to the site I got it from, which is how they spelled it. Could you help with this, so that a photo of him remains with the article? Thank you again for everything. Nicola Mitchell (talk) 19:42, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds horrible, but in fact it just said that you have uploaded the same picture twice. The first time as "File:Father Achiel Delaere.png", the second time as "File:Father Achille Delaere.png". As they are identical (except the name) the unused oldest version (with the wrong name) will be deleted. Nothing to get headaches about. The Banner talk 19:52, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for easing my mind. And thanks again for all your help with this article. Nicola Mitchell (talk) 21:10, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Would it be possible to move this photo into Commons in the Wikipedia? I don't know how to do it. You can find this photo at: http://yorktonredemptorists.com/our-history/redemptorists-from-the-beginning/ I have a Polish Wikipedia translation of it, but the Polish Wikipedia can't use the photo unless its in Commons and I don't know how to do that. Can you help? Nicola Mitchell (talk) 18:43, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Before you start with the photo, you have to make sure that the photo is copyright free. But then the glitch comes: a photo is only copyright free more then 75 years after the death of the photographer, not the subject. With an anonymous or unknown photographer, the photo is copyrights free more then 75 year after the first publication.
In case you do not provide convincing proof that the photo is copyright free, Commons (and the administrators there) will assume that the photo is copyright protected and delete it. And 100% rights free, no buts or ifs.
i know, this sounds horrifying and difficult, but that is the big hurdle at Commons. Good luck with it! The Banner talk 21:19, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for explaining it so clearly. I'll try to find out when the photo was taken. Nicola Mitchell (talk) 21:40, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A caution

"I withdraw the nomination and wish mr. Sockpuppeteer best of luck with undermining the encyclopaedia". If you have evidence that the editor in question is sockpuppeting then a case at WP:SPI should be opened. If not, please remember in the future that making accusations of sockpuppetry without evidence can be considered a personal attack on the editor in question. - The Bushranger One ping only 06:25, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would have been a nice thing when you had taken time to check the WP:SPI-archives. That had saved you from this embarrassment. Mr. FFA P-16 is caught with sockpuppets at least at the Dutch and the English Wikipedia. See here for the English one: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FFA P-16/Archive.

Request for a second opinion

Hi there. I've just posted some feedback about changes to the Chessington World of Adventures Resort article to BenBowser's talk page, and as you have commented on changes to this article before, I would appreciate a second opinion on the points I've made. Thank you! JordanHatch (talk) 18:24, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Restaurant Karel V

I'm not interested in the history there. I understand the concern and the issues in the merge are addressable. If they are addressed, the expanded content can be moved back. I did some associated cleanup and once the job queue catches up, I think you will find that most of the inbound links are for the restaurant. For me that is an indication that having an article on that is a good thing. But again, this depends on someone expanding the section. Good luck.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DATE (command)

Hello,

I hope I am not bothering you but Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DATE (command) badly needs more input from the community. It has been relisted twice before and in spite of me having tried to publicize it before, is still at the risk of being closed without a consensus. The reason that I am calling you is that last time, I've been told to invite people that are more connected to the matter. I guess as a participant of Articles for deletion/Date (Unix), you clearly fit the bill.

Subject of the nomination is: "Wikipedia is not a manual and this article is written exactly like a man page."

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
