Thank you

Nothing like a little PRODding (pun fully intended) to draw my attention to an article in dire need of improvement. Best wishes, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 14:10, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

whitelist

Stifle,

Regarding my whitelist request,

I wrote the Cobalt (CAD program) article as I own the program. I also own TransMagic. I also am the shepherding author on Kilogram. When I write articles, I go to the actual sources. In the case of the Kilogram article, I exchanged well over 80 e-mails with the NIST researcher in Maryland who is working on the electronic kilogram. And as that subject is covered by many scientific papers, it was easy to cite. I did the same thing (do my homework) while writing Thermodynamic temperature; I contacted a Ph.D. researcher who had published a couple of landmark papers on the goings-on at absolute zero. I even had him review drafts via e-mail before I committed them to the article. I really, really do my homework.

Things are very different on CAD programs. There are exceedingly few independent authors writing reviews and explanations about CAD programs. In this particular case, Frank Sherosky (the guy I need to link to) is a bona fide author and, as a recently retired CAD design engineer from GM, he certainly qualifies as a reliable source on this particular subject. I confirmed with the owner of theTransMagic company (Jerry) that this author is not an employee of theirs and was not paid for the article.

The link I want to use is “Examiner.com: http:// … www.examiner.com/automotive-technology-in-detroit/auto-suppliers-suffer-heavy-burden-of-industry-s-multiple-cad-systems”. The statement I hope to cite is “However, problems arise when files must be shared with outside companies, which may use a different type of CAD program.” That statement is pretty much CAD 101, but just because it is obvious to those in the field does not mean it is obvious to everyone; it would be nice to have an outside RS expanding upon that exact issue to use as a ref.

Can you white-list the article for me please? Greg L (talk) 03:02, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whitelist requests are handled at the whitelist page, and not here. Please post all follow-ups to the request there. Stifle (talk) 11:46, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nableezy and topic ban

Hello to you, please I need some clarification: is not that http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Six-Day_War&diff=prev&oldid=379302549 an edit by Nableezy violating topic ban? sometimes I am confused by all the nuances... thanks, Hope&Act3! (talk) 17:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please Undelete Russell Hantz's Page

Hi Stifle,

I see that you deleted Russell Hantz's article and are having it redirect to Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. You probably did this because you feel he played a small role in one event. However, he played a big role in 2 big events, as he was also in Survivor: Samoa, making it to the end and winning "Player of the Season" plus $100,000 in both seasons. He also was arrested, which got a lot of coverage.

Also, considering Heroes vs. Villains consisted of Survivors 20 most popular players and he won America's vote for "Player of the Season", that makes him one of the most popular, if not the most popular player, to ever appear on the show. According to WP:ENT, television personalities with a large fan base have evidence of notability.

I presented you with 2 good reasons why Russell Hantz's article should be put back up, so please do your best to do so. Thanks.
