Blackpool images
Hi, I have just noticed the photos you uploaded of residential blocks to the article List of tallest buildings and structures in Blackpool. This is of great help, and in my opinion has vastly improved the article. Great work, thanks again. Stevvvv4444 (talk) 14:35, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Vemma revisited
On 13 Apr 2008, you left this message re Vemma.
After a "hiatus" from Wikipedia, largely spawning from taking the above personally, I'm back and desire to resume with editing other articles; I no longer have any vested interest in Vemma, nor am I any longer a rep as of July 2009; COI can be stricken as of this point. The whole idea of creating the article was to actually allow others to contribute to said article; given that Wikipedia is, of course, allowed for all to edit and contribute, providing other members with a chance to make said article "compliant". I admit and apologize about my "newbie errors".
However, please note that you stated to have "protected the page" and said MLM is "quite rightly, treated more harsly at AfD because they are immoral." Please note that statement quite possibly implied the presence of using personal POV and/or bias as a basis of determination to protect/remove the page. Wikipedia is designed to present facts for the public at large to decide for themselves whether Vemma is "moral" or not, or for example whether or not Enron is an ethical company, whether Bernard Madoff deserves to be condemned or praised, or if Adolf Hitler is a good or bad person; I can sit here and condemn Hitler all day on his wiki, but 1. It does affect NPOV in general and 2. there are people who might actually like Hitler. Therefore, if there are any restraints that prevent this article from being properly created or edited, I humbly request for you to release them. Thank you. -- Edwardw818 (talk) 10:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- Please try to be more succinct - references to Hitler, etc. are not needed. I suggest you create a draft article at User:Edwardw818/sandbox at raise the matter at deletion review. I shall e-mail you your text. (If you happen to see my message below, the difference is that Vemma had an AfD discussion but Eddsworld did not.)
Unprotection of Eddsworld article
Roughly two years ago the page on Eddsworld (an animated web series) was deleted and protected from recreation. Since then the series has been involved with the BBC, the World Wide Fund for Nature and shortly Mitchell and Webb (citations are available for each). I believe that this qualifies Eddsworld as a viable candidate for a Wikipedia article and hope you will unblock the page. TheTomSka (talk) 15:11, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- So why not link to the article? I have unprotected it and shall e-mail you the text. I note there is a Tom involved with the project - can you assure me that you have no COI? — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 16:04, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

John F Fort
Hello, I added a page for John Fort which was rapidly deleted. I raised this page because I noticed that there was a reference on the Tyco International page to him, but that it linked to another John Fort (a long dead politician and was therefore wrong). Fort was a previous CEO and as he is referenced elsewhere I assumed that he was notable. I could just have removed the [[]] in the Tyco article but that didn't seem right. Did I create the new page incorrectly? GarthJones (talk) 13:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- Always provide a link to any article you are discussing! Creation was incorrect to the extent that you created something far too stubby. Re-create in User:GarthJones/sandbox. Only when the article has a proper assertion of notability, backed up with decent references, should you move it into the (article) namespace. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 13:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
WLC Architects
The page for WLC Architects was deleted and I am not sure why. WLC Architects is the firm that designed the building that LEED is based on and is widely recognized as a Green Building Architectural firm. They are the only firm mentioned by name in the USGBC written code. They also designed the first Public building using Staw Bale construction(http://www.cityoflancasterca.org/Index.aspx?page=92). With the 'Green' movement that is currently happening, I think that they are definately note-worthy for this. Perhaps the article itself was not complete enough, if this was the case I will expand it so it better explains the facts. Please let me know if this will be satisfactory. Thank you Benwiens (talk) 16:24, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- To be honest, I did notice a number of external links when I deleted the talk page. Why did you put them there instead of in the article? — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 18:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
I was building the page up and not knowing the correct methodology for creating a page here, I just started adding content. I now know that it should be mostly complete before adding so I created the sandbox page and will build it up there.Benwiens (talk) 19:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Mystery structure
Not an answer, but thought you might want to read my reply here. Could you say more precisely where this is (whoops, I see you provide co-ords!), as I may take a look next time I'm in the area. Carcharoth (talk) 19:15, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if this is how/where to respond to your message but would like to thank for the helpful comments which I have taken on board and will incorporate. DavidLM44 —Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidLM44 (talk • contribs) 22:50, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Dietrich Varez
I am about to create an entry for Dietrich Varez. It seems you deleted a previous entry in this name in 2007; from the note that must have been an appropriate action, probably removing a cut-and-paste lift from an online profile. My contribution is entirely new and is based on several published sources. However, my access to these original sources is (mostly) secondary to their reproduction (as facsimiles)on the web site of Mr. Varez. They appear legitimate. I have referenced both the original source and the online reproductions. I should add that I have never had any contact with Mr. Varez, other than owning two of his prints. I trust this new discussion will meet Wikipedia standards for a start-class article, as he is a well-known and influential artist in Hawaii and his work straddles both commercial and fine-art worlds there. Also his bio is not exactly routine. Let me know if I am not on sufficiently solid ground here. Thank you. Alawa (talk) 22:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
Article for Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Black
I noted that you had deleted this article. I did not create it, but merely suggested it be created. He is the new GM&P for the United Church of Christ. I thought he was notable enough to be on Wikipedia as the previous General Minister and President was and the denomination has over 1 million members. It looked like Arcangel had moved the article about a month before and rearranged the title. Then in January you looked for the moved article and nothing was there. Granted, I was not satisfied with the article I saw because it seemed to be copied from the UCC website bio. Is there a way to recreate this page within Wikipedia standards? You can send me the text. My e-mail is enabled.claimman75 (talk) 03:50, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Thought you'd enjoy this
Came across this this morning. You must have peed in his cereal recently. Blocked indefinitely of course. Didn't find your connection to him though I'm sure there are other accounts this twit has used. Pretty sure he and indefed user Sawconqueredcame are the same. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:36, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
I did not upload that image. I uploaded a different image with the same filename in 2007, the following year someone overwrote it with a completely different image, which is the one now on Commons -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:39, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks - I did not look closely enough. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 17:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
United States v. Ballin
Hi. I put in the work to bring WP:Article Incubator/United States v. Ballin up to spec. If you could take a look and see whether the article is fit to graduate to articlespace, that would be great! I'm not sure whether you can graduate the article, since you have edited on it in the past (though just a tiny bit). Still, since you moved it into the incubator, it would be good if you took a look. Thanks! —ShinyG 21:43, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- United States v. Ballin has graduated from the incubator.—ShinyG 00:31, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Commons for images
I echo a remark above: please, please, please upload images, directly to the Commons. For images from Geograph, use Magnus' tool which copies them directly from Geograph to Commons. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 19:33, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but simply I do not understand the Commons or the Magnus tool you have recommended :( For some reason I find the process too confusing. I thought I was progressing by actually managing to upload but obviously am not --J3Mrs (talk) 20:10, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
So what is the difference between the upload process here and that on the Commons? As for Magnus' tool - what is difficult about copying a Geograph uri from your browser's adress bar into the form on Magnus' page? — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 07:27, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Because something is not a problem for you, please don't assume it is simple for me. I enjoy doing what I do on Wikipedia, not what anyone else wants me to do. --J3Mrs (talk) 09:51, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
I asked a specific question: what is the difference between the upload process here and that on the Commons? The question implied that you should at least try to upload to the Commons. Please answer my question: what is the difference? — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 15:27, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
You PRODded this as OR/essay, and it was deleted. The author has requested restoration, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have undeleted it, and now notify you in case you wish to take it to AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:48, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

You comment on this page made me laugh. And it could have been added - on no less than three occasions. NtheP (talk) 12:15, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello. It is almost a year later now from when you nominated me for a "Speedy deletion" or whatever it is.I was so annoyed, I didint even bother to comment back until now,and that was last october,it is now APRIL. I didint know any better at the time.It was like my first week.Not to be rude,but I would appriciate it next time if someone could tell me what I am saying is not important my first time making a mistake on my FIRST week.--Androllercoaster (talk) 20:39, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
