Richard Ballerand

Could you please provide an explanation for your speedy deletion of 'Richard Ballerand'. The page was the subject of pathetic vandalism by individuals with negligible Wikipedia other input, who then asked for speedy deletion. I am rather concerned about your judgment on this matter, perhaps a reconsideration or discussion might be in order —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.54.103 (talk) 04:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

You might also want to have a look at [[1]]. I'm still very much in doubt about the validity of the original entry. Asav (talk) 17:51, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you take a look -

Could you take a look at Paul H. Park? He's a med student who seems to have done some good volunteer work. I'm spitting in the wind on the talk page - would appreciate another opinion. Thanks J. Van Meter (talk) 14:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

-thanks for pitching in yesterday; though another admin removed the speedy. J. Van Meter (talk) 12:51, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

dePROD

Hi, I dePRODed Gigant Neo, which you'd PRODed for Axmann. I don't consider the delete uncontroversial as it isn't blatantly clear the horse doesn't meet at least WP:N. Anyway, I also left a note for Axmann saying that he should take it to AfD if he wants, and I thought I'd let you know as well since you'd physically placed the PROD. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:59, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Lots of unused socks

Greetings. Please take a look at this. These seem to be numerous user pages belonging to a single individual (self-identified as a teenage girl in Alaska) who has made oodles of accounts for no apparent reason. Thanks. - --Boston (talk) 17:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Not sure this meets notability

Hi, I'd appreciate a look at Affluence (social network) - the article was created and speedied a couple of times for being spammy and non-notable (see Affluence (Social Network). They have added references this time (though it's still written like an advert, pretty much) but when I added reference tags just now I started wondering if those refs really show notability. I'm thinking no, but maybe that's because I saw the previous advert and am prejudiced against it :-) (also, the people working on it are SPAs - never a good sign). --Bonadea (talk) 18:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Carlson Young

Just a friendly note about Carlson Young. I declined the speedy because there's definitely a claim of importance (starring in a TV show). It's certainly possible that she's not notable; AfD would be the way to go.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Reconsider Deletion

Dear Mike,

I would like you to kindly reconsider the deletion of the HyperOffice page. The cause you specified for this deletion was "blatant advertising". I went through some other pages of companies in the same domain - Zoho for example, and these pages are still up in spite of there not being much difference in tone. What parts of the article did you think were promotional? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pankajunk (talk • contribs) 20:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

reconsider the deletion of Searchme.com page

Dear Mike,

I would like you to kindly reconsider the deletion of Searchme.com page. The cause you specified for this deletion was "blatant advertising". What parts of the article did you think were promotional?

I want to create a page for Searchme that is not so 'advertising'. What is the next step? Do you undelete the page and I can edit it, or do I just go ahead and create a new one?

speedy deletion of Andy Williams (DJ)

Dear Mike -

I'm the guy who put up the page on Andy Williams the DJ that you deleted today, within hours of my contributing it. I scrambled to put up a few external verifiable sources for you (in the talk, not in the page itself) and when I returned to flesh out the importance of his entry as per your questioning I found you had already proceeded with the deletion, despite my following the required protocol requesting additional time, less than 12 hours since I put it up. Can you please give me a bit longer to prepare the description of his importance for inclusion? I thought was very careful to keep it clean and unpromotional, in respect of the purpose of this encyclopedia. (I'm not a promoter, not his agent, etc)

Thank you for your work at keeping self-promotional DJ scum out of a serious resource, but considering Mr. Williams' ongoing work in jazz archiving and research, contributions to disseminations of various artist's careers, I think you were a little fast on the trigger... Please reinstate or coach me on where I messed up.

Thank you for your consideration -

Aomu (talk) 06:00, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply! will integrate referenced content into article text instead of trying to get you to read it in talk - and no, he does not have a blog, those were other people describing his place in the industry. I'll go play in the sandbox now...

orange signature

Hmm. This is a minor point, but you may like to consider it. I saw your signature on a comment in the discussion on a proposed guideline on populated places. Unfortunately the orange colour for a while misled me into thinking it was a red link, implying a user who had for some reason been deleted. Although you clearly have a personal thing about orange, you may like to consider whether it is unhelpful deviating in this particular respect from the normal behaviour that people are likely to expect of Wikipedia. Incidentally, I liked your comment on that talk page, and found it particularly interesting, as essentially a voice for inclusion from a self professed 'toward the "deletionist" end of the spectrum' person. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC).

RE: Reconsider Deletion

Hi Mike,

Rather than creating a new HyperOffice page, wouldn't it be better to edit the current entry, and tone down the promotional aspect? That way, the page would retain the credibility it has built over the last many years.

Advice needed for the page INSEAD

Dear Mike, Would you mind have a look at what is happening in the INSEAD page related to the alumni section of the INSEAD page, and or give me you advice how to proceed? There is indeed the need of a neutral third party. Thank you a lot in advance --Nabeth (talk) 19:10, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Mike, Ok for the cleaning, although I believe it was excesive (we are loosing information here). But the advert sign seems somewhat excesive. Anyway. --Nabeth (talk) 19:48, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Mike, Would you mind telling me why you removed in the INSEAD page the logo of the Alumni association? I would assume that logo is not really something related to spamming or advertizing, but is just a facet of the identity of this association. thanks. --Nabeth (talk) 20:00, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

You deleted the talk page before I could even respond to you. I'm TRYING to work here with you on this. I disagree that is spam per say, but I would like to work with you to be able to recreate it in a way that appeals to your liking. It is meant to be informational and not to sell people product but talk about the work being done and to help expand the project to other universities and institutions of higher learning.

Talk:Ayn Rand

Hey Mike, I have a lot of respect for your work here, particularly at CSD, but I've removed your recent comment at Talk:Ayn Rand in light of the recent arbitration case. While most of us enjoy a chuckle at the expense of Rand's followers every now and again, and forum-like comments are welcome at most article talkpages, the Rand talkpage has had serious issues with civility and people expressing their opinions on the subject rather than on the improvement of the article, and is a frequently toxic environment of polarised contributors. It takes very little to be inflammatory over there, so I hope you won't mind my fastidiousness. Sincerely, Skomorokh 17:30, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Improperly Licensed Photos

Hi Orange. A very persistant editor (User talk:Lesliecaron) is uploading photos to illustrate the Joe Cino article which the editor claims are his creations and therefore released to public domain. However they belong to a collection of a living person (Robert Patrick). I'm not sure how to stop this because the public domain license doesn't trip the usual photo police.

The specific photos are:

• File:Wiki2JohnTorreyJoeCino.jpg
• File:Wiki3LucySilvayTomBigorniaNeilFlanagan.JPG
• File:WIKI4CinoFront1965.jpg
• File:Wiki1JoeCinoEdwardAlbee.jpg

Thanks, Americasroof (talk) 13:23, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Not sure whether you did it but it got done although they placed at least one back in yet another license but at least it's one that can be properly evaluated. Thanks. Americasroof (talk) 16:55, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

What kind of writer are you, when you don't read good writers?

This article is not self-promotion. You are making an error, and when you will understand, you will want to have the article, but the writer will not give permission for its publication. It will happen what happened to Bill Gates and Harvard University. It’s clear that what you guys have there is pure mafia, promoting yourselves, and filtering information. No problem because people already started to understand what happens with Wikipedia, and are already saying “NO to Wikipedia!” Keep dreaming the full’s dream, blocking others. In reality you are blocking yourselves. The sad part is that Wikipedia receives grants as a “non-profit organization”, and they dedicate themselves in using that money for personal use, paying people to censure academic articles, as the one about Dr. Walter Rojas Perez. That article had pure educational goals, and it was promoting ecocriticism and environmental protection. I am sure that Academia will see it with negative eyes, and they won’t believe in your website any longer. I have already seen that people are questioning money donations to this so-called ‘non-profit organization’. As I know, people are complaining to those who give money to Wikipedia, so that next time, they will think well before taking out the money from their pockets, as the philanthropic society that donated 3 millions this year, and other organizations that also contributed. Keep killing yourselves because there are other organizations that indeed are objectives, and that indeed promote education. No more lies! Say “NO to Wikipedia!”

P.S. Now, I understand why you deleted the article “Walter Rojas Perez”, article that was educating the world about the serious environmental issue that the whole globe is experiencing. With this your face of delinquent, pumpkin hat and cloths, one can think everything …. Hipie, drug-addict, and all negatives adjectives of a human being. Did you see yourself in the mirror? Better go and work for Halloween. What carácter were you in the movie? The ET? Or the monster? For what did you invent all those labels, if you don’t contribute with anything, but negative, destructive actions. I see that you have had a B.A. for a too long time. You haven’t learn too much about history. Shouldn’t you go back to school for a re-tuch? If Hitler was alive, maybe you would have also given him also a medal. What kind of Demoncratic are you? You should better go with Bush, and don’t make Democtratic party be ashamed with such individuals. Orange Mike (Michael James Lowrey), do a favor to Wikipedia, leave! Or better stay, so that you could do more harm and then, you will all leave, Mafia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.139.232.18 (talk) 03:40, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

You can see here that es:User:Ugancea added an article on the user page, here that the same user ask to obtain more access from Yahoo or Google Search.

Here Ugancea says to be Uliana Gancea, and in this photograph appears Walter Rojas beside Uliana Gancea. You can see this search about "Uliana Gancea" without Walter Rojas (4 results), and this search about "Uliana Gancea" (103 results). The conflict of interest is obvious. Best regards.

David Choi

Hi I noticed that the article for David Choi has been deleted and protected. When I recreated the article I spoke to all of the admins that had a hand in the deletion all of the past times it was deleted. I spoke to Cirt to get the protection removed and get it moved from where I had accidently created it under "David choi". I also left messages on all of the user talk pages for these admins regarding the content of the page. The reasons for previous deletion were not repeated. ONe said that is was just a recreation of his myspace, another said that there were no credible sources to prove the claims, and a third said that he was not a person of note. If you see the page as it was written all of these criteria were met. I also had two of the previous deleting admins look at the page to see if it fulfilled a proper Wiki article, and if there was anything that needed to be done to ensure that this would not be deleted again. I am honestly unsure of why it was deleted this time besides the discussion for deletion that was for an old version of this wiki article. Please advise if there is anything that I can do to get this article reinstated as I truly think it met all criteria for a proper article.

I saw that yesterday someone unloaded a message on your talk page due to your slavery. From what I see it is true that you are guys in a Mafia clan there, and what was told was pure truth. Shame on you and all those who are doing the same things. And be a real man, and don't delete the comments so that everybody can see what you are guys doing there.

You were involved in this, sort of... You nominated Walter Rojas Perez for deletion. You are invited to see the spew that has been unloaded onto my talk page in retaliation for my deletion (towards the bottom). --Orange Mike | Talk 13:08, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear user of Northland Cable Television (Seattle), do please calm down and write lucidly, persuasively and politely. Thank you. Now, if you believe that the deletion of Walter Rojas Perez was wrong, then please read Wikipedia:Deletion review. This says in part Deletion Review is to be used where someone is unable to resolve the issue in discussion with the administrator (or other editor) in question. This should be attempted first – courteously invite the admin to take a second look. Note the word "courteously": accusing the administrator of being in the or a mafia is unlikely to be interpreted as courteous. If you are unable to persuade Orangemike, then you're free to bring up the matter at Wikipedia:Deletion review, but the more you say how "obvious" it is that you have "proven" your case, the less persuasive you will be. (Instead of announcing that you have proven your case, prove your case.) -- Hoary (talk) 01:19, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Orangemike. I think your block of this user may be a bit unfortunately and somewhat unfriendly considering they were in the middle of a discussion. they seem to have been here to discuss matters and correct errors in their organizations article, which given good faith and disclosing their interest isn't really a violation of any policy. It would be better to calmly post a note and request they make a personal account instead of instantly hard-blocking. Cheers, henrik•talk 19:36, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Actually, per Wikipedia:SPAMNAME it isn't even prohibited, just not recommended. I don't think there is any grounds for a block here. henrik•talk 19:40, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Blocking, ultimately is a preventative measure, not a measure for punishment. There is nothing inherently wrong with someone using the initials of their organization for their username; and blocking someone that is in the middle of a discussion about another problem is not advisable, and only serves to make the problem worse. Bastique ^demandez 19:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

The so-called wikipedia administrators are vandalizing articles

Of course we are from Seattle. In the case of article "Walter Rojas Perez" I see that it’s you who are vandalizing other people's work. Several people talked to Mike Godwin, General attorney at Wikipedia who said that none of you work for Wikipedia, but from your acts, you show a network "mafia" and terrorism. Dedicate your time in doing productive things and not destroying the work of serious professionals. It would be good, in the future, that all those who are uncomfortable with wikipedia to make your own blogs and denounce all these acts of wikipedia, and to take legal actions against wikipedia and its administration. Those lawyer who can read this, I hope that you could help us get rid of this network mafia that is publishing only what they think that it is good for their interests, filter information and misinform the readers. It's sad to see how people and organizations that make donations to Wikipedia, keep donating grants to wikipedia; money that is used for personal purposes. The philanthropists, we made an error contributing to wikipedia, but with these acts we will not make the same error. And if you, my friend, who are reading me, thought of donating money to wikipedia, do NOT do it. Of course, we who are writing here, we are in Seattle, but there are many others who are uncomfortable in New York, Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Peru, Costa Rica, New Jersey, South Carolina, and many other places. If you want to know more, check the messages left to or between Matdrodes, Orange Mike, Hoak, Hub, Remata, etc (well, this if they did not already delete the messages that they did not like people to know about).

Axmann8

Your summary of how we got to where we are on User:Axmann8 is not correct. He has not broken his topic ban. Those who say he has are unable to provide any citation which supports that view: They provide citations but not of behaviour which breaks the topic ban. Follow them thru: Two go to his badly-managed defence of the false charge of an illegal userbox, and the third goes to an innocuous comment re editing style. Now the invoker of the topic ban has come out to say that he too does not think the topic ban was broken. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Axmann8_late_intervention. Saying "IAR" in edit summaries is provocative but that's all it is. Axmann8, an editor who, in my view, does not contribute to WP, has been now banned in such a way to make us look like cretins. The injustice of it will mean the ban is undone, it has to be, to be fair, and if you're a Quaker (hey, I didn't bring that up!). And the user will have to be watched, like others have to.

David Choi

You say that "You are right, though, that the deletion should have been for non-notable bio, rather than recreation of a deleted article." I don't see how someone who has done programming on a Jordan Pruitt album, won the John Lennon song writing competition and was featured in a USA today article is non-notable. I understand fully that youtube views are not notable, but the JLSC for teens is a rather big deal. So between the fact that he is an artist with a curent album out, has worked on Jordan Pruit's album, and has won the John Lennon song writing competition I felt it was a solid base of note worthy things. Any insight on this would be great. Thanks, Chip MileHighCFI (talk) 09:06, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Will the recently deleted page of the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lockwood_(corporate_strategist) be completely deleted soon? - as it is still visible on search engines and unfortunately, no longer accessible. Shouldn't there be a link, otherwise to direct the readers to the right article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Lockwood_(historian)? Jxc5 (talk) 22:06, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Explore Kent

You tagged this as an advert. I don't understand. What would a neutral article about a government website about walking trails in Kent look like? I get that some paragraphs have the wrong tone; why not delete them? - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 18:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

The Sky is Falling

Mike, I saw that you had been working on the above. It looks like there are some circular redirect problems with the link for the Sidney Sheldon novel. I may have contributed to it, but I don't know how to fix.  – ukexpat (talk) 19:54, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

OK I think I fixed it: The Sky is Falling (novel) and The Sky Is Falling (novel) now both redirect to The Sky is Falling and I fixed the link to the Sheldon novel on the disam page. – ukexpat (talk) 20:29, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Declined speedies.

Though I don't think these meet speedy deletion criteria, your deletion rationales are strong enough that I sent them to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amanda Fritz and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan Saltzman for consideration. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 19:46, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Can I create a new page for searchme that is not advertising?

Mike

I work at Searchme.com as a business operations manager, that is why I have an interest in getting the searchme.com page back online.

Notability of Ali Mirzad

A tag has been placed on Ali Mirzad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. AfghanGov (talk) 20:50, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi there,

  I'm new to this site and I have added my article following every tiny bits of Rules/Regulations and Policies that I could find and read on Wikipedia. I was so

proud of myself for having successfully created my 1st article (even bought a bottle of champagne) for the occaison..lol

However since the posting of my article. I have received several comments. Which I have embrassed and followed thru with all of them. Though I am not sure if they were Sys admins or just a regular reader that was bored and thought it was a good idea to target my article from the humongous worldwide web :-)

Most recently I have seen your comments/objections..not entirely sure if I understand. So I came o nyour talk page and noticed that you're a Sys Admin (Please to meet you) can you help me to understand your comment and hopefully I can accomodate you and hopefully it'll be the last time that I edit this article.

I thank you in advance for your cooperation. Best Regards --AfghanGov (talk) 20:50, 3 April 2009 (UTC) but
