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)

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)

File:KeysPark.jpg

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)

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)

Roller coaster

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)

Robert Fourer

I noticed that you have deleted an article for Robert Fourer. Robert Fourer is a prominent scientist working in the area of operational research and management science. He is recognized as being the designer of the most widely used modeling language for mathematical programming called AMPL. Together with with David M. Gay and Brian Kernighan he was awarded 1993 ORSA/CSTS Prize by the Computer Science Technical Section of the Operations Research Society of America, for writings on the design of mathematical programming systems and the AMPL modeling language. Taking this into account I would like to request restoration of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcmlxxxi (talk • contribs)

  • The piece I deleted was simply not a bio. You have provided more of a bio in your message above than in the 46k bytes I deleted. I have e-mailed you the text - do not repost it! However if you actually write a proper bio of the guy with proper references, then it will probably stick. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 08:35, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I thought the old article was not substantional enough, but it turned out that one can write a book about Fourer based on it :). Now I see why it was deleted.

CoaXPress

Hello. It is some months later now from when you nominated CoaXPress for "deletion". The reason was that it was non-notable. No gnews or ynews hits for this term, and no gscholar or gbooks hits either. And indeed It was difficult to defend as there were no books and no publications on Coaxpress at that time as good industrial research is not published until it comes on the marked (but it is not because there are no articles that it is not important, in contrary, I have several articles on other subjects in high ranked IEEE journals and conferences, which were never implemented in a product). I think that you will now find more on CoaXPress as it is standardized by JIIA(Japan Industrial Imaging Association). Is there some possibility to reopen the discussion, as I think that CoaXPress has several technical advantages that it is valuable information for an Encyclopedia (even if the productions would stop now and the number of applications is limited).Xmaillard (talk) 13:37, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

User:Gabby77/uploads

Penny Mayes pointed out this user's misattributed Geograph images to me, and I've done a little bit of cleaning up – I've orphaned a couple that were already on Commons so that they can be deleted here, uploaded a couple more to Commons, and identified a bunch more source images on Geograph that I don't quite have the enthusiasm to move to Commons now. --bjh21 (talk) 16:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

  • I want to leave a few in place to show to Barry Hunter of Geograph. But I will deal with all of the Geograph rip-offs in due course. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 04:32, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Sironta

Hi, I have uploaded in User:Marj9543/Sironta the new article that I have wrote about Sironta. Can you tell me if it is right now? If not, can you say me what do you miss in the article? Thank you. Marj9543(talk) 09:17, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

I think that the article is now correct. I have added referrences mentioning Sironta as an European Comission Project, to add notability. I have added new links, new PDFs, new text, new wikipedia links, etc. As C.Fred (talk) told me, I ask you (the deleting administrator) if it is sufficiently improved that it can go back into the main encyclopedia. Thanks again. Marj9543(talk) 10:33, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

  • I think you are essentially advertising and am certainly not going to move the article anywhere. The DRV discussion is still running. i will accept the decision of the admin who closes the DRV. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 15:20, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Request to restore and userfy old article

Since you were the deleting admin, not that it matters, can I ask you to restore Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages somewhere in my user space, please? I'm a Patroller at UESP and came across some old references to it on our site. I'd like to at least be able to view what the page was before it was deleted; the entire edit history might be interesting to see too. I don't know if there's a policy against keeping that type of page userfied here, but if there is, let me know and I'll move the information to my account on UESP.

About miRoamer article

Hi, I wrote a article 'miRoamer', and I notice that you've deleted one with the reason: "No meaningful, substantive content: we gave it several hours to be expanded."

Tobacco Marketing and African Americans

Hello RHaworth, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Tobacco Marketing and African Americans has been removed. It was removed by Closedmouth with the following edit summary '(prod is contested, please take it to afd instead if you wish to have it deleted (per WP:PROD))'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Closedmouth before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 09:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages) 09:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Haiku Bootstrap Architecture deletion

I believe that the deletion of the Haiku Bootstrap Architecture article under G12 was uncalled-for. The authour responsible was also the same person who initially wrote the article, as can be traced via the following posts from a conversation regarding the topic: here (the original post containing the original article), here, and here. Thank you. Dustin Howett (talk) 19:35, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Cloud Communications Alliance deletion

After further reviewing the notability guidelines, the proposed article Cloud Communications Alliance (which was deleted at your direction) has been improved (I hope) with third-party references, and it should be closer to suitability for Wikipedia. If you don't mind looking at the new version, it is sitting here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tsger/Cloud_Communications_Alliance.

The intent is to create an article that meets appropriate criteria and is as neutral as possible, relying on third-party materials to outline the basics. If you still feel it does not pass muster, your feedback would be appreciated. Thank you ... and I apologize for any clumsiness on my part as I pursue this process.Tsger (talk) 21:49, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Pardon My French

Would you mind explaining what the fuck this is? Nowhere does any policy page state that the tagging user has to be the one to remove all file links.

  • Sorry re 2009 July, I usually do try to answer all messages here. I try to avoid discussions re bands because I cannot judge notability well. But even I can see that your draft is still short on references to reliable sources. At least a decent time has now passed since the AfD discussion so once you have found better references, take it to deletion review. I shall abstain from comment at the DRV. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 14:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

United States v. De Haro

I contested the PROD - Supreme Court cases are inherently notable. The article does need editing attention, and I have tagged it. If I can, I will rework the article to meet WP:SCOTUS standards. Thanks, GregJackP (talk)

Client Services Collections deletion

Client_Services_Collections has been deleted twice now. The second time I had completely reworked the article to sound non-promotional and only state the facts. If there is something I am doing wrong, please tell me so I can fix it - I've followed the instructions by asking why it was nominated for speedy deletion on it's talk page but I never got an answer on there either...

Deletion of Input/Output Control System (IBM)

I was going to add some references to Deletion of Input/Output Control System (IBM) and I saw at Input/Output Control System (IBM) that you had deleted it. Was that simply because it was missing references, or were there more substantive issues?
