Ten Years

On 2015 Jan 1, I joined the Wikipedia Ten Year Society.
Will I make it for another ten?

This is an archive of past discussions about User:RHaworth. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

Spandaryan

Spandaryan Hydro Power Plant and Spandarian Hydro Power Plant. This mess is getting larger and I'm bothering you about it since you cleaned some of it up once before. There are three users creating and editing these: Apavenstepanyan (talk · contribs), Taguhi sinanyan (talk · contribs), and Vahagn1996 (talk · contribs), none of whom have edited anything else. There are currently five other redirects of various name versions. At this point both of the articles in the subject are full articles, both are being edited, and occasionally one of the three editors will put a PROD on one of them like it's a contest. Could look at this when you get a chance? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uncle Milty (talk • contribs) 17:36, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

I tried to clean this mess up, but yes, this university coursework without proper understanding of sourcing, formatting etc gets quite messy. Beagel (talk) 18:18, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

There is a related story with forking Vorotan Complex of Hydropower plants and Vorotan cascade, created by students of the same student assignment. Could you please merge the history of these articles? Also, the title Vorotan Complex of Hydropower plants (mixing capital and small letters) is not in line with naming conventions. Probably we need to start RM discussion to decide what should be the proper title of this article. Beagel (talk) 19:08, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Dealt with. Indeed since the Spandaryan plant seems to be part of the Vorotan Complex, why do wee need two articles? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:38, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Nextiva

I'd like to ask you to reconsider your restoration of Nextiva. Clearly you thought the current version was close enough to the deleted version so a G4 was entirely valid. The only reason the second afd occurred was that the shill that recreated this spam put it at Nextiva Inc. in a bad faithed attempt to avoid connection to the previous deletion. Restoring this panders to those that choose to use Wikipedia for advertising. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:51, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Replied at talk:Nextiva Inc.. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:38, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Lovely. I've replied at ANI. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:53, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Ethics in public administration

Um, not quite sure why you deleted my !vote on this AfD? Perhaps you didn't see it and didn't notice that you were editing an out-of-date version of the page, or something? Anyway, I suggest a redirect to Ethics in public administration: perhaps you might consider this as an alternative action. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:07, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Oopps, sorry - edit conflict. I don't know why I did not get a warning about it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:38, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Shakespeare Performed Throughout Time

Hi, I was making this page for a school project and I would appreciate being able to recover the information I wrote down. If this is possible could you please direct me as to how. Or is all my work lost in the void? I'd appreciate a rapid response if possible. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaoFuster (talk • contribs) 16:09, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a free host for you to publish your school essay. If your teacher advised you to put it here, please pass that message on very loudly. And if they have any objections, they can reply here. Please read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:38, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

I followed your instructions. Shakespeare Performed Through Time is the link to my page. Thank you for taking your time to send me my article. - PaoFuster (talk) 17:52, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Text of deleted 570ers sandbox

Hello RHaworth, I was wondering if it would be possible to get a copy of the text of my deleted sandbox page (which I have to apologize and admit that I have absolutely no idea how to link to)? The page was created for a class project and my professor wants to go in and look at the text one more time for grading (which is understandably difficult considering I no longer have access to it.) I apologize for the confusion, as is obvious my Wikipedia skills are far from stellar. Please have pitty, I really don't fully understand what I am doing. Thank you! -- 570ers (talk) 01:35, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Text emailed. You are clearly part of a student project. Please read Wikipedia:Student assignments and announce yourselves as explained in that page. "I have absolutely no idea how to link" - what a tragic admission that your project has failed. If nothing else, a student project should teach its participants the rudiments of wiki markup. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:45, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

AN/ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Problematic admin actions. Thank you. lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 07:16, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

The OP failed to notify you, which is required for all ANI reports, so I have taken the liberty to do so. Just to be clear, I am in no way involved with the OP's case, I'm just letting you know. lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 07:19, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

No, they did not fail. Whatever I may think of Duffbeer…, I will not accept that accusation. Their raising of the matter begins with a link to my user page. That generated a ping to me which was necessary and sufficient notification. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:58, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Many users may feel properly notified by a ping but note that Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents says in bold red: "When you start a discussion about an editor, you must notify them on their user talk page." At Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo users can enable email notifications for user talk edits, and disable notifications for mentions. — PrimeHunter (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Salisbury railway station

Hi! Thanks for sorting out the CSD on Salisbury railway station, however you moved the wrong page in it's place. You need to move Salisbury railway station (England) to there to restore the situation to what it was before this user started making controversial moves. There is a similar situation at Durham railway station too. Thanks! Jeni ^(talk) 11:20, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi again, I'm not sure I can work out what you've done? You seem to have restored a couple of revisions? Thanks, Jeni ^(talk) 11:31, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)@Jeni: I think have done what is required. I would assume "Durham railway station" is sufficiently ambiguous between the city in North East England and the one in North Carolina to require a requested move. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 12:35, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Jeni, I did the restore to check whether you had done the db-move tag wrongly or whether I, in my heavy-handed manner which clearly annoys Duffbeerforme so much (see above), had done different from your request. Although I am English, I still think that it is arrogant of us to assume that the English railway station is more important than the others. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:09, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Creating an article previously deleted

The article Thundermarch(Rock Festival,NIT Silchar) is the page of the annual rock fest of the college NIT silchar. I created the page before and it constantly gets deleted. Please don’t delete it and allow me to create it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gauranga.p (talk • contribs) 13:30, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks and two small questions

Thanks for deleting the page I tagged for deleting. That was fast. On other subjects, I am curious about the Ten Years Society and the Ambassador Program. Once, I tried to move ahead with it, but I was not contacted further, even after completing the training. Thanks. Caballero/Historiador (talk) 15:14, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

The Ten Year Society is purely notional - I would not expect it to have any activities. I put myself on the list of ambassadors ages ago and nothing happened. Try adding yourself to the current list and see what happens to you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:09, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the info and links. I will try it out. Call on me if you see something important about the Ambassador program. — Caballero/Historiador (talk) 13:41, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion of Denial eSports

Content was from this website, whose content was released under CC BY-SA 3.0 according to the bottom of the page. This was also noted in on Talk:Denial eSports. -- Prisencolin (talk) 21:26, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Please read this. OK, it was not a copyvio - I should have changed the deletion reason to A7 - non-notable organisation. raise the matter at DRV if you must. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:32, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
- Well the article did reliable sources, but not necessarily a lot of inline references. WP:DRV told me to ask the editor who deleted the page before going through DRV to save time, so that's why I asked you first.--Prisencolin (talk) 17:34, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Categories emptied out of process

Could you undelete Category:Rivers of Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, Category:Rivers of Wayne County, Pennsylvania, and Category:Rivers of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania? They were emptied out of process while under discussion at CFD. Thanks! --Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 08:44, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

If the discussion closes with the decision not to rename these categories, come back and I will re-instate these three. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:32, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Hey

I am the developer of Advert The Odds 3.0 and you deleted the artice on it. I haven't finished the article as. Please bring back my article please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KryptoDeluxe (talk • contribs) 11:06, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Noted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:32, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

don't modify my user page,I will only you warning one time. -- Composcompos12 (talk) 12:40, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Falk Preussner

Hello. The page Draft:Falk Preussner has been deleted again. Would you be so kind as to bring the article back please. I went ahead and made significant changes to the article and will be more than happy to continue editing to meet Wikipedia standards. I do, however, need time to do this and continue review. Thank you. Kriziadlp (talk) 14:28, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks this guy (you?) is notable and writes about him here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:40, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Wearing shoes before my socks.

Thanks for being lightning-fast with editing EFA_calendar as forwarding to a (previously) not existing page. Sorry for taking your time, you are right that creating a forward-page and creating an article-page does not commute, i.e I tried to wear my shoes first, before putting on my socks. — Hou710 (talk) 14:30, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Miss World 2016

has been recreated again. I nominated it for speedy deleteion. Could use SALTing too as this article has been recreated multiple times since being deleted....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:23, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Miss supranational

Has been recreated once again and this time one day after you deleted it. Note - by the same editor who created it yesterday. Can you please deep six it and salt it while you are at it too?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:07, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

G6 deletions

An "unused and deprecated" template does not seem to fit one of the uncontroversial deletions allowed per G6. (Example: Template:Doi ref) I had already advised this editor to use WP:TFD. Tagging with G6 seems to be avoiding the proper process for deleting templates. What do you think? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:02, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Would you mind addressing my concerns as I see you are still actively editing. Thank you — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:10, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

I think that an unused redirect does not need to be dragged though any special process - just zap it. If you disagree, re-create it and take it through due process. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:21, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- Not too concerned about this particular template, but about your general approach to deletion. If you follow this policy, any template could be speedily deleted just by orphaning it and then tagging for G6? What's to stop an editor from abusing the process? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Idan Raichel

Hi, I saw you deleted the article about Idan Reichel. Please restore it and if there are any problems I will deal with them. He is one of Israel's leading singers. I am sure there are parts of the article that were fine. Deleting an article and making people start over from scratch because of a couple of sentences is not justified. —Geewhiz (talk) 06:09, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) I see no history and no entries in the deletion log for that article. Have you spelt it right? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:13, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Idan Raichel — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gilabrand (talk • contribs)

Article was deleted as a copyright infringement, in which case we would not be able to restore it. Best bet may be to start over. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:34, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

The article existed for years and I know I contributed to it at some point. So the whole page couldn't have been a copyright infringement, because that is something I never do. I would like to see what was there and fix it up. I'm sure there are sources listed and photos that could be used. It is hard to believe a whole article can be wiped out because one contributor may have added something inappropriate. — Geewhiz (talk) 18:39, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Geewhiz, main problem was GreenMountainLove (talk · contribs) who added a few Kbytes of copyvio and spammy language on Dec 14. I have restored it to a state before that and then removed more copyvio. I have left an hint at the top of the article about checking the remaining copyvio phrases. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:44, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks so much. I will have a look at it as soon as I get a chance.Geewhiz (talk) 16:06, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Dr. M. M. Alex

Hello RHaworth, I had created the page on Dr. M. M. Alex a couple of months ago. But it lacked in line citations. Now it has been redirected to another page Alex Mathew which lacks a lot of important content on Dr. Alex's life. If i make another page which has the appropriate citations and references is there a chance of the page getting verified? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you, Basilmathew92 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Basilmathew92 (talk • contribs) 09:31, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) It would be better if you improved the existing Alex Mathew article. If you have additional well-referenced information to add to it, please go ahead. All of the articles on Wikipedia are collaborative efforts and additional help is always appreciated. If you leave the redirect as is, other readers looking for Dr. M. M. Alex will be automatically sent to the correct article. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 14:12, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Basilmathew92, before you do anything else, please learn wikilinks. Then please explain wh

Computer hardware market products

Please would you restore User:Mattmill30/Comparison of computer hardware market products.

The content is no different to the hundreds of "Comparison of" pages, except that due to it's span of a huge subject, it will take a while to mature the content; hence it's in my user section whilst the content is steadily matured for transference into an article.

Many thanks Mattmill30 (talk) 10:25, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Swedish Riksråd

You recently deleted an article about a medieval Swedish riksråd, Birger Ulfsson. It's understable if you're not all that familiar with Swedish history and thus cannot judge the encyclopedical importance of a Riksråd, but would you please restore the sourced article about this historically important person? Chicbyaccident (talk) 11:44, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Season's Greetings!

Hello RHaworth: Enjoy the holiday season and upcoming winter solstice, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 18:50, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Deleted Article Pay-Per-View Networks

Here is the link to the deletion log of the article you deleted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Pay-Per-View_Networks

The reason cited was a duplicate of the pay-per-view article, but if you read the article I created you would know it was not anywhere close to a duplicate. At the very least can you email me the text of the article I created. I did this for an assignment for school and now I can't get credit since it got deleted.

Thanks

Unitywater

Hello Mr Haworth I believe you are responsible for blocking the Wikipedia page administered by Unitywater, a water and sewerage utility based in the south-east region of Queensland, Australia. I am writing to ask you why you took this action and how we can work together to restore the page. I look forward to your response, preferably to my work email address, which is listed below.

Request for a Copy of Deleted Article

Respected Sir,

I'm Tehseen Ahmed from Pakistan and created an Article yesterday on below link about a personality and you deleted this article by the Section G12 allegation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Huma_Baqai

However, I would be highly thankful if you please provide me a copy of the article. Secondly, i want to request you that please recover this article as the content copied from the said website has the same owner about the personality i'm posting on it. Furthermore, owner of the website already allowed me to create this article.

Waiting for your earlier response.

Regards,

Tehseen Ahmed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tahseen libra (talk • contribs) 05:38, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth, I had only created a draft on Dr.M.M.Alex https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Basilmathew92/sandbox&action=edit&redlink=1&preload=Template%3AUser+sandbox%2Fpreload in my sandbox. I was working on sending it to you for reviewing. Unlike my previous page, this had around 44 in line citations and 10 external links which you could check for its authenticity. But I don't understand why you removed my content which was only in my sandbox and that too without even referring to the material I had. I'd like to further point out that the page Alex Mathew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Mathew is not accurate. This includes the date of birth, filmography and including the title itself is inaccurate. And I know this because I am the son of Dr. M.M Alex and I'm offended that the page with wrong information exists while the page i was trying to create was removed even though i was just drafting it in my sandbox. It would be helpful of you could review my material first and then let me know the fault you see in it, before deleting it.

Thank you, Basilmathew92
