Welcome, correspondents If you're here because I deleted an article you think should be undeleted, please read this first and remember--Most of the time, I didn't write the text that appears in the deletion summary.
N.B. I don't respond well to either fawning or abuse. Talk to me like a peer, assume good faith, and you'll find I reciprocate in my helpfulness.

Position Essays may help you understand my point of view with regard to...

Administrator Goals Doing my best to improve the tiny little wedge in the top center:

Dear Editor,

I would like to contest the deletion of Hugh D. MacPhie. Hugh D. MacPhie is the founder of MacPhie & Company, a boutique management consulting firm; an accomplished public speaker; and the author of the book “Don’t Forget Your Cape”. Hugh is a member of the national speaker’s bureau as well as a guest lecturer at the Richard Ivey School of Business. Hugh’s work and book have recently been mentioned in several national publications including the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, the Toronto Sun and the National Speakers Bureau. Below, you can find the links to these articles.

If you could please reinstate his page it would be greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjamin2233 (talkcontribs) 13:44, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There does not appear to have been an article at "Hugh D MacPhie"--can you confirm the spelling? Thanks, Jclemens (talk) 16:23, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Editor,

The page was named Hugh D. MacPhie (there was a period, I don't know if that makes any kind of a difference). I have attached a link below. Thank you very much for your speedy response.

Ah, got it. Restored now, have fun improving it! Jclemens (talk) 14:28, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjamin2233 (talkcontribs) 19:19, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I fully agree with the result, consensus seems to indicate that 24 hours is the bare minimum for a banning discussion to run.—Kww(talk) 03:30, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough--feel free to un-close, and I'll let someone else state the obvious when the time comes. :-) Jclemens (talk) 04:12, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I popped in and unclosed myself. If there's anything that frustrates me about Wikipedia, it's how much we fail to live up to our own promises, WP:BURO for starters. Sigh. Jclemens (talk) 04:29, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I felt the same when people whined about closing A Nobody after 24 hours, and continue to imply that he is only banned because of a personal vendetta on my part. I hadn't ever seen a more obvious case.—Kww(talk) 14:06, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge discussion for Foot odor

I have proposed that Smelly socks be merged to Foot odor. Since you contributed to the recent AfD on Smelly socks, you might be interested in participating in the discussion to merge at Talk:Foot odor#Merger proposal. SnottyWong chatter 05:23, 20 July 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Hi, Jclemens. Because you helped clarify the wording at WP:UP#GAMES, I hope you can help me propose a wording at WP:NOT that discourages using Wikipedia as a game server for secret pages. I have started the discussion at WT:NOT#Does WP:NOTMYSPACE apply to secret pages? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 05:31, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weighed in. Thanks, Jclemens (talk) 05:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CSD G10 of User:NatDemUK

Thanks for looking into it. MfD is probably not going to be worth it as the user's heading toward a ban at WP:AN. N419BH 01:36, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Yeah, a ban would probably moot the MfD. Jclemens (talk) 01:51, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

jacob green recreated

You just deleted Jacob green. It was recreated immediately afterwards. --Biker Biker (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Editor, Please consider the undeletion of Colegio Nautilus. This school has been a landmark private school in the ciity of Acapulco, Mexico for over 30 years. It has been distinguished as a cultural landmark in the state because of our enviornmental programs for children applied thru government institutions and thru grants form the University of Berkeley in California and University of California Irvine and Greenpeace. This awards have only been given to this school in all the Mexican Country. The school also has the Colegio Nautilus Hurricane Fund for the victims of past hurricanes in Mexico since 1996. It has donated thousands of dollars to many relief associations. you can check online for all reference mentioned above.--Aoscos (talk) 08:53, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
