Please note: If your message is related to a disputed edit, the best thing to do is open a discussion on the talkpage of the article instead of leaving a message here. This way we may involve as many editors as possible instead of confining the discussion here. Wikipedia is a community effort. Let's use this community component. Thank you.

A barnstar for you!

	Thanks for protecting my user page and blocking the sockpuppet. It's much appreciated. Biblioworm 03:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't remember creating that page ...

I don't remember creating this page last night, Burlington Council. If I did, it was a mistake. I meant to do it today and make it look exactly like, Champlain Council. Could you please restore the page and copy the text from the Champlain redirect? Thank you. --evrik ^(talk) 15:15, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

There is nothing to restore. The content of the page I deleted was the Wikiscounting and US wikiproject banners that belong on a talk page. If you want to create a page start from scratch. -- GB fan 22:31, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Unblock on hold

Hi, GB fan. I have just revisited User talk:79.79.137.119, where you blocked and I then extended the block. The editor has admitted that his/her previous editing was unacceptable, and is now claiming to be willing to edit constructively. What would you say to a WP:ROPE unblock? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:06, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

From what I have seen in my conversation and the current unblock request I do not see any reason not to unblock them. -- GB fan 19:24, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

OK. I'll go ahead. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:41, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

deleted finij

I need help how can i insert finij in wiki? finij is a software company — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fiican (talk • contribs) 12:19, 17 November 2014‎

What you have to do is show that the company is notable. The way to do that is to find multiple reliable sources that provide significant coverage of the company. The place to start is with Wikipedia:Your first article. -- GB fan 12:42, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

"Block evasion"

Please refrain from editing this ongoing investigation in which the accused was blocked permanently so that they had no chance to defend themselves. Their use of proxy to respond is valid in this case. 81.164.69.68 (talk) 17:39, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Thee is no justification for block evasion. Log in and make a statement on your talk page -- GB fan 17:53, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Venerable Lama Tharchin Rinpoche

This article has been an orphan since creation in 2012 and the only "reference" is a repeated inline link to [1]. It is about a living person, and my attempts to find further references using the standard procedures have met with little success. (He is not to be confused with the well-known and recently-deceased Nyingma ngakpa or tantric specialist, Lama Tharchin Rinpoche.) Should we keep a wikipedia page bio for every lama on the planet? I'm not sure where to go with this, but since you declined deletion and the page's author didn't even post... Ogress _smash! 03:34, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Ogress, I declined your BLPPROD nomination because the article had a source that confirms at least one statement made about him when you added the BLPPROD. In the "Before nomination" section of the Proposed deletion of biographies of living people policy the first point says "Make sure the article contains no sources in any form, which support any statements made about the person." Since the article had a source it is ineligible for deletion using this process. Since you feel the article should be deleted you have two options, WP:PROD and WP:AFD. WP:PROD is similar to the BLPPROD process you used but it requires you to provide a reason that the article should be deleted. Then it will sit for 7 days and if no one objects an admin will delete it. The WP:AFD process is actually a discussion that last for 7 days and at the end an admin will determine if there is a consensus to delete the article. It is up to you what you do. -- GB fan 11:46, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I'll look into the two options. I'm a long-time wikieditor (since 2004) but I'm pretty sure I've never done page deletions in that time so I appreciate the feedback! Ogress _smash! 20:39, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Question about creating new entry

Hi, I had created an entry back in July as a new contributor to Wikipedia and it was deleted. I am interested in individuals who have made interesting contributions in business or the arts, as they are areas that I have long followed and have written about from time to time for other websites. I wanted to create an entry about the founder of the company, but since an entry for an individual with the same name already exists, I wrote an entry about the company instead. Since the company entry was deleted (it was flagged as advertising, though that was not my intention), would it be possible for me to submit an entry about the company founder for consideration? I was going to do so, but saw the note that if recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, I should first contact the deleting administrator. Your response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Ecassin (talk) 22:28, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

You must be talking about Forrest Performance Group as that is the only deleted edits you have. I did not delete that article though, it was deleted by Randykitty. You can recreate an article about the company or start an article about the founder. If you create either on, you should ensure it meets our notability guidelines before creating it. I would suggest some reading before starting another article though.

• Wikipedia:Your first article, Advice on creating your first article
• Wikipedia:Notability (people), Guideline on how we determine if a person is notable.
• Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), Guideline on how we determine if a company is notable.

I suggest you do not create the article in the mainspace. You should create the article in the draft area. This will allow you time to work on it with the opportunity for experienced editors to review it prior to publishing it. This also reduces the possibility of it getting quickly deleted. If you were to start the Forrest Performance Group article again, you would start it at Draft:Forrest Performance Group. To make it even easier you can use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. It will help you format the article and guide you through the creation process.

If you have any questions you can ask here, at the Teahouse or at the Help desk. -- GB fan 00:56, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your reply and the resource links! Have a wonderful night! Ecassin (talk) 01:43, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

why did you delete my page about australian tv personality rhiannon dillon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarahwee64 (talk • contribs) 11:55, 24 November 2014‎

Rhiannon Dillon - I deleted it because it did not make a credible assertion of significance. It looks like what someone would put on their facebook page or personal website. -- GB fan 12:07, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

You beat me to the button... I'm a writer, but I still haven't got a clue what that one is about, but 'made up' it definitely wasn't. <8-( Peridon (talk) 11:56, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mrjulesd/drafts/&action=edit&redlink=1 , deleting my unwanted page promptly. I think it is strange that the software allows pages in the 'user:example/xxxx/' format.

Thanks for your earlier advice. You might be pleased to know I've made it up with Moxy, and I am contributing to the Wikipedia:Help Project now, and I am going to try to build consensus for some changes, to hopefully avoid negative aspects. --Mrjulesd (talk) 15:51, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Comments from Legacypac

Why pray tell would you choose to reinsert obvious personal attacks against me, thus burning one of my 3RR opportunities and giving the attacker the edge>? I kindly ask you to revert yourself or you may be subject to the same consequences for making the personal attacks as the editor who originally made them. Since you invite me to make a report - I shall now do just that against you, and the original author.Legacypac (talk) 16:22, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

I reverted because I do not see them as blatant personal attacks. If you feel you need to report me, that is your prerogative. I will not revert myself. -- GB fan 16:31, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legacypac (talk • contribs) 18:05, 25 November 2014‎

I accept that you are not intentionally attacking me (though I believe that is the effect), so I am not requesting action against you. I have notified you of the report that I was encouraged to make as a courtesy. Legacypac (talk) 18:40, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Actually more than once you said I am as guilty of personal attacks as Skookum1 is and never retracted it. Above in this very section you say that you are going to post a report against me and Skookum. Then you posted a report. -- GB fan 18:43, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

I read your subsequent comments elsewhere and as noted I accept your stated intent for your actions (which I still disagree with) Legacypac (talk) 19:06, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Coconot

Thanks for spelling out the email address. I had pointed them towards wmf:Contact us, but when they followed the link I had provided they obviously overlooked the email address. That was listed twice. In the large, clearly labelled box on the right. Yea, okay, so they didn't bother to follow my link. You can lead a horse to water ... --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:53, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Yeah I originally just pointed to the page also, but then rethought that and added the email address. For being a lawyer (AGF and all) she is not very observant. -- GB fan 16:56, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Mohamed Hassan

Hi I want to know why did you deleted this page ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_Hassan

What shall I do to keep it ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emadido (talk • contribs) 23:10, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

I deleted it again because it was deleted after a deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mohamed Hassan. If you feel it was deleted in error you can discuss it with the admin that deleted it, Kurykh. If you are not satisfied after discussing it you can raise the issue at deletion review. I have protected it because you keep recreating it. -- GB fan 23:17, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Why you delete my page?
