I'm gonna strip the AFC page - remove the {{AFC submission...}} and the <!-- comment> stuff and the auto-reference part, and see what is left, and if it looks anything like an article
[17:18] <@Chzz> also, gonna be able to advise people if they ONLY put refs UNDER ==References==
[17:18] <@Chzz> but...yeah; that is on the long to-do-list
[17:19] <@Chzz> am just trying to get less "false positives", but miss less who do need ref-help
[17:19] <@Chzz> am also gonna check number-of-edits, and not give any help on e.g. >50 edits
[17:19] <@Chzz> and I'm gonna fix the sandbox-cleaner so it clears more 'sandbox' pages, in tutorials and talks
[17:19] <@Chzz> and fix the stalkbot up
[17:19] <@Chzz> and add another stalkbot that actually checks the diff
[17:20] <@Chzz> (which thus becomes as powerful as 'edit filter')
[17:20] <@Chzz> then I just need to install the "laser beam" and we're good to go
[03:31] <Shearonink> 1) can you crop the images into A)Each individual RAISIN panel B) Both RAISIN panels

[03:34] <Chzz> do you like it 'straightened' - like I did on that demo?
[03:34] <Chzz> ie I 'distorted' the pic, to make it 'straight'
[03:34] <Shearonink> yes
[03:34] <Chzz> yep, ok
[03:35] <Shearonink> yes I noticed it was crokked in the version gene upcloaded
[03:35] <Chzz> and I'll fiddle with the colour/light balance, to make it as clear as poss without it looking bizarre
I also work for Wikipedia, and had a rather scary email recently: "Before you edit a banner or update some code, just remember that if our readership was a country it would be the 3rd largest country in the world."

I think what you did is OK, but I have a few comments;
Be careful of saying that something is 'vandalism' if it is not obviously so; I do not know the topic area, so I don't know if changing "Shankara" to "Brastacharya" / "Fraudacharya" is vandalism per se - if it is, then forgive my ignorance. If it is questionably a 'content dispute', then consider instead warning for "introducing deliberate factual errors", or "addition of unsourced or improperly cited material" - see below.
When 'warning' users, it helps to use the standard templates - these are detailed in WP:WARN.
Issuing warnings is greatly simplified if you enable twinkle in your user preferences/gadgets.
Thanks for your suggestions. To explain you on words used, "Brastacharya" in a weired way of saying 'Corrupt Master' (A mix of Indian Langauage) and "Fraudacharya" is nothing but meaning 'Fraudulent' (Again mix of Fraud + Acharya (Learned). - These are not the words to be used for a great monk like Adi Shankarachaya. Any-one who has little knowledge on Indian Philosophy or Adi shankara may testify it. So I am saying it indeed a Vandalism. Cheers --Ashok Prabhu (Talk)03:04, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Epic One Media
Hi Chzz,
This message was for Closedmouth but so far he did not respond to our message.
We saw that you edited the message to remove the email address, so we thought you might help us with this topic.
Here is our original message;
"Dear editor,
This is to be read by anyone who has approval or is capable of accepting this request for a listing of a wikipedia page.
We are Epic One Media and run a Men's Luxury lifestyle magazine called Affluent Page. For unknown circumstances our page was deleted. We are trying to comply with the rules in accordance of being a viable listing in the Wiki data base and would appreciate a guideline to solidify this request. To expedite the claim whatever you need changed will be completed immediately following your response. I appreciate your help in this urgent matter.
Tristan Michael
email-address Senior Vice President Affluent Page"
The Affluent Page Magazine was deleted as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion" (Wikipedia:CSD#G11). It contained, for example, a high quality, full-color glossy, featuring insightful editorial about a myriad of luxury topics - I hope you can appreciate that this is not a neutral point-of-view.
Our policies strongly recommend that companies do not write about themselves, for very good reasons. Please read the business FAQ. I also suggest you read this recent article. As it says, "would you expect to be able to advertise/promote clients in the Encyclopedia Britannica?"
If the organization meets our guidelines, then eventually someone else will write about it. You may also wish to place a request in requested articles.
So when us noobs create a ton of minor edits that have to real utility other than to show the initial build of the page, is there a mechanism for removing them from the database to make space for more important content?Svanslyck (talk) 00:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, it is not a problem - Don't worry about performance. Wikis depend on keeping a record of all edits, no matter how unimportant.
Right now, we have 61,018,164 pages, 1,229,661,131 edits. If you refresh this page, those numbers will have changed.
I have just taken the liberty of creating your user page, User:Svanslyck, with links to some non-existent userspace areas. You can click on those red links and make those pages to test things out, or work on a draft article. You can, of course, edit the page and add more links, or whatever you wish. You can get to that page any time by clicking your user name at the top of all Wikipedia pages (when logged in).
Thanks for your suggestions. Will do them at another time - Meanwhile someone may edit it.. I am aware of your suggestions, the bottomline is time. Do not feel offended if I blankout my pages - it's my style. This is just a hobby when time prevails. I do not get offended if soemone deletes my pages or writes nasty/good things. I read them weth good spirit and erase. Thanks.--ukioe (talk) 14:03, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
