Edit summary

By coincidental timing, I noticed this edit's summary right above a couple of refdels you made for Joseph McCarthy, so figured I might as well ask you to take a look. I'm not particularly offended by the language, but some probably would be. Fat&Happy (talk) 19:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gone, thanks. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:41, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sequoia edits

Hello! I saw that today at 10:36 3/1/2011 you made some edits to the Sequoia sempervirens and the Talk:Sequoia sempervirens pages (RD3, disruptive material). I'm sure you had good reason, but it just seemed odd that right when we got into a discussion/dispute about very fine details in those archives, that within hours we get hidden edits to them, whose record we can not witness. May I ask what you removed and who it was by? Many thanks! Tom Hulse (talk) 21:25, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a coincidence - this is part of a cleanup of old pagemove/edit summary vandalism. Nothing to do with the current dispute. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beware of RSI

You've been rev-deleting the entire afternoon. Perhaps use a different finger, to preserve your health--but thanks for giving up your body for the team. Drmies (talk) 21:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit filter

Hey NawlinWiki,

Mr.Z-bot (talk · contribs) made this report recently at AIV. The editor's only contribution, here, doesn't appear remotely like vandalism but it triggered Special:AbuseFilter/389 -- I'm not sure how this trips an "Attacks on user talk pages" filter. I'm completely ignorant as to how these things work, but you were apparently the last to edit the filter...thank you can figure it out? Thanks, — Scientizzle 19:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looking at the log for the filter, it's hitting a whole lot of non-vandalism. Something seems to be wrong. — Scientizzle 19:09, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I adjusted the filter - should reduce or eliminate the FPs. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 19:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RevDel request

Please see the entire revision history of Moy Salinas prior to my redirecting it to Moises Salinas. I'm requesting RevDel under CFRD #2 or #3. Or if it's easier, delete the article and recreate it as a redirect. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Option 2 was faster - done. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:31, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is still visible. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:34, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry, got it now. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:35, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

unblock of 132.74.1.4?

Hi Nawlin, Would you object against the unblock of 132.74.1.4 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)? An unblock request came in on unblock-l for this IP. The request indicated it is a shared university IP. Looking at the contributions, I don't see much activity, some run of the mill vandalism, some well meant but not-so-usefull edits, and some good edits. I don't like unblocking without consulting first, so let me know. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:32, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This IP has been used in the past by longtime vandal User:Runtshit, and we think it's one of his home IPs. He's still active, so I'm not comfortable unblocking this IP. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 18:54, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, clear. Thanks for the info, an unblock then is out of order. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:56, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AIV

The AIV page has not received any admin attention for a whole hour.Jasper Deng (talk) 02:56, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Block review

Hey Nawlin. I'm confused on this block of yours. It appears to be a good standing editor from the Hebrew Wikipedia. Could you possibly unblock him/her? --Bsa dow ski1 11:46, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The username matched the User:JI Hawkins meme, but I've unblocked as you requested. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 13:12, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion

Hey, I just had my article deleted... (SCREAM FOR HELP: Punk & Hardcore Bands 4 Gulf Coast Animals). I am new to editing/creating on wikipedia, however, the reasons for deletion seem offbase to me. Anything presented in the article was for the purpose of information, not advertisement/promotion. I am not affiliated with any of the parties involved in the release, and my reason for creating the article was for informational purposes only. I'm really not sure what the issue was. Daegor (talk) 23:06, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems like it's taken verbatim from the catalog notes or from the sleeve of the EP itself. Even though it's for a good cause, it still seems like it's trying to get people to buy the EP. NawlinWiki (talk) 05:20, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Much of it was, however I deleted anything that actually directed you towards any of the charitable organizations. I didn't want to remove mention of them entirely as I felt that it was educational as to the organizations behind the release, rather than advertising for them. Daegor (talk) 15:16, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Louxema - 兔Talk with me on my French talk page - Angers 16:33, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Filter 68

FYI, 68 seems to be producing quite a few false positives. Perhaps you could look into them when you get chance? Thanks, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adjusted. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 01:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomads Golf Club

My article on Nomads Golf Club was speedily deleted by yourself. Can you please copy the article into notepad, save, zip then send it to js@webwarmerdotnet please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Highlanderdownunder (talk • contribs) 03:09, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's already in your userspace at User:Highlanderdownunder/Nomads Golf Club - you can just copy it from there. NawlinWiki (talk) 03:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Am I not right in thinking that it is still a copyright violation, even in userspace? _wjemather^bigissue 08:04, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PassionSearch.com

Hi NawlinWiki: I'm writing about the recently deleted PassionSearch.com page. How could I improve what had been written to merit inclusion on Wikipedia? The company itself is a notable entity, and is comparable to (if not larger than) other companies that have Wikipedia pages such as Plenty of Fish, FriendFinder, Match.com etc. The Approaching Curve (talk) 18:26, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You would have to show the company's notability per WP:CORP, as established by reliable independent sources per WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Understand Why you Tagged this Entry for Deletion

I am not sure why this page (Kim Jew) is being considered for deletion; the entry does not have any issues that would make it a candidate for deletion. The sources cited are not PR pieces, but legitimate news stories crafted by journalists, not Kim Jew himself. The breadth of sources shows that there is significant coverage of Kim Jew as a photographer; the sources are reliable news sources; the sources are written from a third party perspective; and the sources are independent of the subject. Based on this criteria, I believe that the Wikipedia entry about Kim Jew should be presumed suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Additionally, Kim Jew's notability spans decades, demonstrating that the independent coverage cited is not short-term interest.

I understand that Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion....and this entry does not read as such. It is not advocating people to take an action, it is not an opinion piece....it is written from a neutral point fo view, using an objective style to state facts about Kim Jew's life and notable contributions to the field of photography.

Please advise on why you are considering this entry for deletion.
