Malizia Clinic pics

Hi Banana. I orig. left this article for user:tnxman, thinking that he deleted the images. But actually, commonsdelinker, a bot I presume, deleted it. tnXman did not yet respond, so I'm posting this to your talk page. Thank you.

You deleted two jpg files: Malizia-clinic-CT-imaging-suite.jpg and Malizia-clinic-exterior.jpg

These files were not copyright violations. They are pics from my personal collection which were not used on the Malizia Clinic site. I am a friend of the marketing dir. at the clinic and those pics are mine. Please check again. The pics are part of that same set, but they are unpublished. If you look carefully at malizia.org, you will see that the ones I uploaded were not the same as the ones on the site. Thank you. 1weezie23 (talk) 12:13, 17 September 2010 (UTC

Hi Active Banana: I have just revamped the entire article, and given the controversial nature of much of it, I look foward to have your feedback. All changes were explained by me, point-to-point, in the article's talk pageCerme (talk) 14:19, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In February you PRODded this, and it was deleted. Undeletion has been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to take it to AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 08:56, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Please could you use them, eg: at Cactus Garden. It will be going to AfD anyway unless you find some non-SPS/trivial references, but edit summaries are always good (as I am sure you know!). Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 20:08, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm not sure what you have done here. You have removed the PROD, added a ref and then added back the notability concerns that it was PRODed for & a minor copyvio. It is a bit of a mixture. - Sitush (talk) 20:11, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did not remove the PROD, that was gone before I got there. Active Banana (bananaphone 20:14, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that you removed it [3] Active Banana (bananaphone 20:15, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It that there may be a source in india today that supports a claim of "largest cactus garden in Asia" which would make me lean towards keeping, but the actual text is not visible in the snipped view [4] The remaining sources appear to be only trivial and so I would not object to the AfD. Active Banana (bananaphone 20:18, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Darn it! It is reflinks that removed it - the bot for converting bare refs. Sorry about that, and I have not seen it happen before. Now I wonder if that is a known bug? I thought it was odd for someone who has been around for as long as you have to do what appeared to have happened.
The problem with the India Today article, even if it can be seen, is that it almost certainly is regurgitated from a press release or similar. India Today is not the greatest of news sources in that country. Anyway, sorry to have messed you about. I've spent most of the last four or five days firefighting the antics of the person who created that article, along with a few other editors (& we're all feeling the strain a bit now). Although the bot was in fully automated state, my brain is obviously fuddled. - Sitush (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your frustration - and my lack of edit summaries did not help. (incidentally, I ended up at Cactus Gardens because that user's page is on my watchlist from an earlier period of similar disruption back in Jan/Feb) Good luck! Active Banana (bananaphone 20:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Auteur Theory Comments

Hello! And thank you for the comments on the current dispute going on in Auteur Theory. If you have time could you also point me in the right direction for reading up on how to better handle situations like this one? I've read Wikipedia for so long, but now that I've just started editing, it would be an understatement to say that I'm overwhelmed by the protocols, etiquette, tag use, html, and pretty much everything else. I don't even think I have a page for myself yet and I have no idea how to do that. I apologize if this type of request is too menial. I just honestly don't know where to turn and you were the first to seem to respond to my initial request for assistance. Thanks again! (oh, and why do people add the two dashes before their signature like I'm about to do? Is it merely a style thing?) --Lindhorst (talk) 12:38, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your attention may be required

Thanks for the inputs on my talk page

Earlier i was not in the habit of using talk pages. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the advice and suggestions given on my talk page. Thanks. Mahesh Kumar Yadav (talk) 19:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jersey Shore Relationships

Can you please explain why you've undone my edits on this page? They had been up for many weeks and provided useful analysis of the very unhealthy relationships on the show. I know you say they weren't reliably sourced but that is the only source for this information and the website I cite is written by experts who use scientific information. Unfortunately people watch Jersey Shore, but by demonstrating how bad the relationships are people who visit the wikipedia page have a chance to learn about the show and perhaps their own bad relationship. My edit frankly seemed more beneficial and supported than most of the information on the page. I've run into trouble with previous edits (some because it is from this website, though others have been deleted and they were citations of journal articles), but many of the other cites on the Jersey Shore page are from websites so I'm not sure why this one would be singled out. If the goal is to have factual, accurate, and beneficial information for users of the Wikipedia project, my edits meet that criteria. Gpwhld (talk) 04:17, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

THANK YOU - BUT

I have no idea what you are talking about

I just said do not include stardust awards and zee tv awards in the AWARDS section, as the article is getting elongated

ALSO PLEASE DONT SEND MESSAGE TO ME

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Regarding deletion of content

I think it is not necessary to remove unsourced content from articles. It would be better instead to place the citation needed template so that other users will be able to find out what needs to be cited. - Windows72106 (talk) 11:01, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If I had seen instances where editors had actually provided sources to the flagged content, I might agree with you. But in my experience, all that happens is that the questionable content stays in the article forever with no sources ever provided. Active Banana (bananaphone 11:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And it seems that the items that you are concerned about fall under entirely differrent categories:
      • potentially controversial content about a living person and losing their job MUST be properly sourced WP:BLP
      • fancruft about every segment that ever appeared in a show doesnt belong EVEN IF it had proper sourcing WP:IINFO
I completely stand behind those removals. Active Banana (bananaphone 11:18, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for clarifying. I shall be removing the section (Discontinued segments) from every television show (as per your rationale.) - Windows72106 (talk) 11:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thankyou for ur suggestion

but why do u remove, the lines which give info about girija shettar's work for geetanjali

THE EXPLANATION U GAVE RECENTLY APPEALS TO YOU ALSO - YOU ALSO DO NOT OWN AN ARTICLE (Veera828 (talk) 12:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)).[reply]

halo halo halo

stop teaching me here - I have corrected the info - further, im not a fool to just use peacock terms like multifaceted - few months back I have actually edited this girija shettar article but some how, the article happened to be maintained by girija shettar her self, as one of administrator indicated it to me- that is why until several months I did not touch this article, now i touched this article - Associate director for a film and info connected to him comes under technical information only. Further, untill i receive confirmation from admin that IMDB is only used for technical info, I am not going to stope reverting ur disruptive edits in film career section of girija shettar
