If you’re about to post something from a template, don’t do it. If I care that much, I’ll notice it for myself.
Note that I'll reply here unless you ask otherwise, and I'll notice any replies if I posted on your talk page. I think it's best to try and keep the conversation intact to improve readability.

Change to Casey Anthony page

I am trying to make an alteration to a page, but it is locked. I was told I needed to find an adminstrator to make the change so I found you.

I think the page for Casey Anthony should not link to the wikipedia page for the crime which she is currently on trial for. An ongoing trial should not be reported in wikipedia and searches for suspects should not lead directly to their crime. This is in my opinion a REALLY important issue for due process of law and wikipedia does not intend to interfere with this.

I recommend that if there needs to be a page in wikipedia for Casey Anthony at all, it should link to a page in wikinews.

I have discussed this in more detail on the page [Death_of_Caylee_Anthony].

Can you please change the redirect for me. If people think that it should be changed back, then that can be done afterwards. With a woman literally about to go on death row, this needs to be altered.

If you cannot or do not want to do this, please tell me where I can learn about wikipedia's policy on discussion of open legal investigations. Surely this should be linked to a news site, not an encyclopedia.

I haven't tried to make ammendments to the Casey Anthony site yet, although I think it should be changed. I don't know whether this will be possible for me.

Hi Charlie - I see you've already engaged in discussion around this on the article's talk page, and there have been a load of really good replies. I'd have to agree: all Wikipedia does is act as a place to publish things that are already currently notable (in this case, in the news). I'm afraid it's not my place to stomp in and help.

James Hughes-Hallett

I am sorry, I am still not clear on why the page about James Hughes-Hallett, the current Chairman of Swire Group, has been deleted...?? It doesn't seem to be easy to find info about him through other sources. What is so special/secretive about him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.77.178.161 (talk) 15:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I've just checked, and the article was deleted because it was pure nonsense. There was no encyclopaedic information there at all. If you want to create an article on him, go ahead! Alex Muller 07:23, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

I've merged some of the details in your User:Alex.muller/London Hackspace draft page into the current London Hackspace page, thanks for find the references.

Cool, great to see somebody take this on and get the article going! Totally agree with what you wrote here by the way, it really annoys me that somebody deleted the page within three minutes of you creating it (this is also utter rubbish, he really shouldn't be an administrator). Sorry about that, and thanks for persisting. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help with the page. Cheers, Alex Muller 19:56, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, hi again. I would like to create an article "Baku White City", which has been deleted in April 2011. The 'Edit' page says to contact you about whether I can or cannot write an article with the same name. I also did not understand why "http://en.trend.az/capital/realest/1710125.html" was referred to as "G12. Unambiguous copyright infringement" since it's a famous regional news website.

Thank you.
