I told you to give Computer!Totaal some time. More editors will pick up where I left off. Don't delete the article immediately.

Hey Mike, I assume you tagged for Inspirato deletion this due to notability concerns. I have submitted a contested deletion [[1]] just so you know.
If you have suggestions to enhance notability (or decrease promotional language) within the article that would be of great. I am familiar with the notablilty guidelines, and I believe Inspirato should be reconsidered due to it's size, # of locations, partnerships (especially w/ several Wikipedia 'notable' organizations).
Feel free to leave anything here on my talk page. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fgump910 (talk • contribs) 19:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
I removed the speedy deletion templates again from this artcle. The speedy was declined by admin User:Mikaey. Vrenator talk 16:28, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- Did you read what I posted on Mikaey's talk page? The page is a massive copyvio/fraud. Speedy's the right path for it, but I'll take it to AfD, which will only result in the same thing. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:34, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- yes I did and I also read your talk pages where you were requested to lay off NPP for a bit. Continuing to replace the templates looks to me like edit-warring. Maybe AFD is the right way to go. Vrenator talk 16:40, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- Done. AfD it is - even though this one is blindingly obvious. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:48, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Just a note
Hi Mike! I've run across you a few times in the AfD area and I know that you're pretty active on here in general. I just wanted to let you know about something that's going on with one of the AfD articles. There's a professor on Wikipedia (User:ToniSant) who is telling his students to create Wikipedia pages for a project as well as to add on to various pages. I've noticed that you've had to revert a few of the pages, so I thought I'd let you know what is going on with all of this. I know that there's nothing against the rules as far as professors assigning students page creation for a student project, but this professor is having his students recreate pages that were deleted in prior semesters. (The pages were made by prior students and deleted in the AfD process.) I'm not trying to form an attack, I just wanted to get a few admins to look at this and see if I'm just being overly sensitive (ie, overreacting) or if this is something that you need to get involved with. I did leave a message for the professor stating that this might not be the most beneficial way to do this and leaving suggestions for other ways to do similar things (such as starting their own Wikia site or going through AfC) and they haven't had a chance yet to say anything in return, but I just wanted to drop a note to an admin and let them know what is going on. There's nothing against making pages for grades in Wikipedia rules per se, but it's something that I just feel isn't really all that right. I noticed all of this after a page was put up for AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Performance (2nd nomination)) and one of the students commented that it was done for a student project per her professor. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:22, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
- I noticed that there is actually a lot of professors who do this type of project, but this one particular instance just feels like it's going against some of the goals of the Wikipedia:School and university projects. 10:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Pictures Of Lily (2011 film)
Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Pictures Of Lily (2011 film) to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question - your tag was quite correct, it was indeed a copyvio, but the author rewrote it enough to avoid that. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:34, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Well, at the time I applied it, it certainly applied then. I'll keep an eye on it, as your prod note is still accurate. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:11, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, indeed, I should have been clearer, the author rewrote it after your tag. I have blocked them as an obvious role account for the studio, but I would not be surprised to see the PROD removed by an IP. JohnCD (talk) 20:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- I added some improvements and vote against deletion. Where is this listed? If there's a discussion about deletion, it should have been linked in the tag. Pkeets (talk) 06:23, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Turbo Dogs Season 2
Dear, MikeWazowski,
People keep on wondering if there is going to be a Turbo Dogs Season 2, I want to ask you if there is going to be a Turbo Dogs, Season 2.

- It's there because that's the premise of the show, but that has NO BEARING on real life. The name you're trying to add has never been, and will never be, considered an actual personification of the country to the people of the United States. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Would a "fictional personifications of nations" work for something like what I'm trying to add? Greenble (talk) 21:15, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- Just because you want to add something does not mean that you can or should. None of the other "characters" are mentioned in the National personification article, nor should they be - I'm sorry, but a four issue comic book from three years ago and its related TV series just isn't notable enough for that kind of inclusion.

re Raised by the Stars
Well, you may have a good point. Somebody put the book in, but in the wrong place so I just moved it. I have no idea if its any good or not. I suppose assuming it really does have an interview from De Carlo's son it'd be useful, unless its false or sensationalist.
I don't have a strong feeling about not including material just because it's been spammed. If you want to remove the book from the article for that reason or any other it'd be OK with me. Herostratus (talk) 22:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Duplication of Mani Dixit with Hemang Dixit/Shatru of Kathmandu
Thank you for your comment. I agree that there has been a duplication, as I was unaware of it being a problem. Thus, I propose to keep the page Hemang Dixit intact and delete the page Mani Dixit.
I would like to inform that I come from Nepal where I am a busy person in my real life ( I believe all of you are as well). I however do not have a dedicated internet connection, like majority of Nepalese population, thus when I added Shatru of Kathmandu, I meant to just add basic information first and add more information later. As wikipedia is used all around the world, I believe this publication which just came out in the market should receive its place here. Not only is this novel written by a local author who has written several novels, but also is very relevant to the current day scenario of Nepal which is plagued by criminals. The author himself have been shot in the past. You can find more information about it from following links: <http://www.peoplesreview.com.np/2006/040506/update.html> and <http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=From+bus+helper+to+extortionist++&NewsID=269360>
Please do note that it is very daring for anyone to write such a novel in a country like Nepal as well.
Finally, I request you to note that I may not be able to promptly reply to you. I will however try to reply your queries.

I'm the original writer. Regarding your tag on this article, the references below are not primary sources but are instead respected authorities. However, if you'll compare to the first two entries, the article has been completely replaced by what may be original research.
Dees, Pamela Youngdahl (2004). A Guide to Piano Music by Women Composers: Women born after 1900. Sadie, Julie Anne; Samuel, Rhian (1994). The Norton/Grove dictionary of women composers.
I notice the phrase "Her commitment to composition was made early, firmly, passionately, and never withdrawn" appears in several online sources and is apparently plagiarized. Perhaps other elements of the current article should also be checked for originality. Do you have any suggestions as to how to control the material being added?

Deleting
Hi!
Is it possible to have a page completely deleted?
Earlier I created a page for the musician Marcus Eaton, but the content was deleted by you as it didn't meet the standards, and also you thought there was a copyright infringement (which there wasn't)... but anyway the question is, if the page can be completely deleted, as I need to create it in a different format.
Thanks for your help!

re: Rochelle Huppin edits
Hi Mike - On November 7th I wrote a very extensive question to you regarding edits and changes you made to Rochelle Huppin's wikipedia page. I explained reasons for the validity of the page as well as asked you for input, in the spirit of continuing discussion. I visited your talk page for a few days after and although you were active on your talk page, answering others, you did not answer or acknowledge my post to your page. I visited your page again and I cannot find my post anywhere. I have combed through your entire 2011 archive. Is it possible you deleted my question to you, my bolstering of the validity of the page (which you have given 5 separate negative demarcations) and my request for further exploration? Please advise as I find this very distressing and am incredibly frustrated at the run around. Thank you very much.

- Well, looking at the article, I believe most of the tags are still valid. Based on your username and the clear lack of edits to anything other than Rochelle Huppin, the COI tag isn't going anywhere. Same applies to the advertisement tag - the article is incredibly promotional. I still believe the notability tag applies as well - given your apparent conflict of interest, this is one that you cannot accurately judge. I'll grant you the copyvio tag may not apply now - I've yet to find the direct lifts, but when that tag was applied, it seemed valid, given the excessive promotional nature of the article at the time - it appeared to have been copied from some kind of press release about the subject.

Pharmacognosy Communications
Why was this last addition removed? And why are you labelling me a vandal? The previous section that you removed is not what was put back up. I have put up a whole new section to address your original issue. This section is new (it does use some sections of the original page - but only those that are original content written by me specifically for Wikipedia). I did not reinstate the previous version - I am not a vandal but am instead editing this page to provide the detail/links that you stated was required. How is that vandalism? Am I to understand that once a section has been removed, the person who originally posted that material is not allowed to post new, valid and original information to that page? Furthermore, your statement that this is not original content - please inform me which of the edits I put up today were not original. None of these are found on the journals website as you have stated for my previous post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iekok (talk • contribs) 09:01, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
A re-directed page
Hi Mike,
I have noticed that you have re-directed the page I have written on scalp-pigmentation to permanent make-up. My partner has had the treatment done this year and I felt compelled to write about it after the success. I tried to write it as neutrally as possible to be more like an information for people considering the treatment. As far as I'm aware the treatment is not the same as permanent make-up, which Wikipedia has explained...
"Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique which employs tattoos (permanent pigmentation of the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyelining and other permanent enhancing colors to the skin of the face, lips, and eyelids. It is also used to produce artificial eyebrows, particularly in people who have lost them as a consequence of old age, disease, such as alopecia, chemotherapy, or a genetic disturbance, and to disguise scars and white spots in the skin such as in vitiligo. It is also used to restore or enhance the breast's areola, such as after breast surgery."
No-where here does it state about having a treatment to emulate hair follicles on the scalp? When we went for our consultation, we were told that the treatment was different to permanent make-up as it used different needles and special pigments. Even if this was part of their pitch, the treatment is still different to make-up as it is not an enhancement on the face?
I think to be put under the section of permanent make-up is confusing for men who would be looking to have the scalp pigmentation treatment, I know with my partner I had to really persuade him it was nothing of the sort! Could you reconsider having scalp-pigmentation as a separate page? I hope you can help as I have seen such an improvement in my partner and I would like to see the same for others too.
Thanks

I agree with you that the article You were never here is far too premature and fails WP:NFF. But as its planning IS written of in reliable sources, and as policy does allow that a future event might be discussed if written of in a related article if properly sourced, might you not think my thought toward redirecting the title to the director's article is worth consideration? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:17, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
- Not really - if the film does got made, the proper page would be at You Were Never Here. This thing isn't even in production yet - I think it's waaaay too soon at this stage. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
- Not disagreeing that the topic is too soon for its own article, nor that a redirect would have to be the correct title as you observe. But as it IS already spoken of in the director's article, a redirect of the correct title to the one place where policy indicates it may be spoken of in context seems to make sense... as long as it is properly sorced. Policy states: "It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced." As the director's article IS the place for such, my suggestion just as policy indicates. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:18, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Return of the Jedi cast list
Hi there,
I just posted some new info on the Return of the Jedi page, which was removed by you, stating, "very minor character with no lines." Well, please read Gerald Home's website (hisnamedotcom) and you'll learn otherwise. Also check out his Wikipedia page and the links to 3 excellent interviews at the bottom of the page, where you'll find lots more info and photos. You'll also see he had dialogue that wasn't used in the film. Also, size of part, and whether or not the character has lines, is not and should not determine whether a character can be listed on this page. Jeremy Bulloch is listed for Boba Fett, quite rightly, but Gerald Home has more on screen time than him, and is in the film's credits (as a Mime Artist, near the end of the credits) - so it's entirely correct that his characters should be included here. I'll await your reply before re-posting my info in the ROTJ section. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sallyandyates (talk • contribs) 23:47, 18 November 2011 (UTC) --Sallyandyates (talk) 23:50, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
- If you really are Gerald Home, then you really shouldn't be editing articles related to yourself, as this is a clear conflict of interest. It doesn't matter what you have posted on your website - as far as the article goes, that's irrelevant. As for the cast list, we only list those with significant contributions to the film. Your name is not listed in the "supporting cast" section of the film credits - it only shows up under "mime artists" - you weren't credited with a character name on the actual film, and both the roles you claim are essentially background characters. They do not belong in the list of cast members, and will be removed should you add them again. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hello again MikeWazowski,
- Yes, I really am Gerald Home, and I'd like to give you some more information, facts which you don't know, I can see - so I invite you to email me so we can have a calm, friendly chat. I don't know if you're advised not to enter into email communications, but I'm a Star Wars actor, not in the business of arguing with people, and as you see from my website, I'm still a working actor, involved in prestigious productions, including working in conjunction with Lucasfilm, so you know I am who I say I am and that I'm a respectable person, not exactly a "stranger", inviting you to email him. Everything you see on my site is the truth, as it is on all Star Wars actors' sites, so rest assured I just want to give you some info which I guarantee will help you in your future editing activities. Email me through the calamarimen...etc email address on my website and you'll get straight to me. If I don't hear from you, I'll post further here, though I'd rather keep what I have to say private between you and me and it's easier for me to use email than this talk system. (I'm not clever online - my Wikipedia page, for example, was not created by me.) With thanks and best wishes. Gerald Home — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sallyandyates (talk • contribs) 15:47, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- Funny, you claim not to have created the article on you, but according to your list of contributions, your very first edit to Wikipedia on January 25, 2007 was to create the Gerald Home article. Putting that aside, I'm not saying that your acting career is a fake, nor am I trying to delete that article. The original point was your insertion of your name onto the Return of the Jedi page as a main character, when that is demonstrably not true. I was correct to remove it, and I will be correct in removing it again, should it be re-added to the article. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:02, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Mike, Please help
Hi Mike,
Yesterday you helped me change the wordings of my posting about Miadore.com so the entry would be in line with Wiki's guidelines, for which my big thanks.
However, this extremely rude guy by the name of Barek (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Barek) thought it would be fun to delete the whole entry. I cant believe it! Is there any way you can get the page back?
Or can I email you with my original text for you to modify it again, before I post it? (I know, so sorry and embarassed to ask you).
I really can't believe this guy just deleted it without any explination and especially after you had rewritten some sections to make it in line with Wiki's guidelines. Really feel sad about this guy's actions :-(

- I'm afraid Barek was not being rude, he deleted the article because it met the specifications for speedy deletion - which I believe was the correct decision, because there was nothing in the article as I remember it to indicate any real notability, nor was there reliable sourcing to indicate that either. MikeWazowski (talk) 14:43, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to hear you feel that way Mike. I thought this shop is fantastic, it's a token for China's development, especially in a market that you wouldn't immediately think of.
Also a bit confused that you helped me out editing it, which I still appreciate a lot, instead of deleting it like Barek, while you now say it wasn't worth it :-(
Hope somebody else will create this entry and it will not be deleted. It's more special than so many other things you can find on Wiki.

Hi there; you have nominated this article for speedy deletion as a hoax. I am not certain that it is a hoax, as the mythology does hae a degree of background to it. I am not suggesting that the article should remain; but could I ask you to re-submit it under AfD? --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:17, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- I posted my reasoning for the hoax tag on the talk page of the article - I could find no evidence this is real. But if you think AfD is the place, I'll try that - but I still think it's a prime speedy candidate. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:34, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Your Revert
I am not disputing that this the entry on the YouTube personalities list is notable or not. But having an article is not essential to being notable. As long as the reference shows how the person is notable, they can be added. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 18:26, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Austenasia
Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Austenasia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There are some refs. Thank you. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 20:16, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- There are some refs is not a reason to decline a speedy, especially when they're poor - however, I'll take it to AfD. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:19, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- Mike, speaking of references, why do some people have 4 references for a short single line in article? I've seen that elsewhere and they all say the same thing, just from different sources (like from a press conference/interview). Is it okay to delete those when come across them? And I agree, just because every line is referenced, it doesn't make a good article. There's probably a lot more to read in those references than the subject for deletion.WylieCoyote (talk) 22:13, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- I can't say why everyone does it, but many times, it's people overcompensating, trying to topload very short articles with refs to prove notability. I would be careful about removing references, tho - as a new editor, it would be best for you to propose and discuss that on the talk page first. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:20, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
Surf Punks/Tony Creed
Why did you arbitrarily redirect the article I was marking up Tony_Creed to the Surf_Punks? --EdWissing (talk) 23:23, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
- Because I did not find the article as written to indicate notability enough for a standalone article. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:28, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
your edits on 24/7 Real Media
Sir, please explain why you put these tags on the article - COI, advert, notability. I need to understand so that i can fix the article. Thank you in advance. Best regards. Standard2211 (talk) 00:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC) I further reviewed notability guidelines, and in my view the company is notable because it has been mentioned in a variety of reputable publications - WSJ, NYT, Business week, Bloomberg. As for neutrality and advertising - can you remove the sections and words that make it read like that - i am not sure myself what you mean. The fact that company almost went out of business and its founders considered a bankruptcy is hardly an advertisement. I must be be missing something here.

Speedy Deletion of Jonny Lines
I am asking you to withdraw your speedy deletion of my page. As I am still in the process of setting the page completely up.
Why punish another artist, who deserves to have a page? So people can research and find useful information on modern day poets, such as english students at school.
I feel that your speedy deletion request is a choice you have made in haste.
And therfore I ask kindly for you to withdraw.
Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonnylines (talk • contribs) 04:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) If you need time to work on a rough edit of an article it's best to do that in your own user space. Official articles have to meet certain minimum requirements to be kept. When they do not meet those minimum standards we have to delete them. If you want to work on a rough draft at your own pace create a page at User:Jonnylines/sandbox. Then when you are done polishing it ask somebody to check it over.
- Remember that all Wikipedia articles need to use sources such as newspaper articles, books, and magazines. If the artist doesn't yet have newspaper, magazine, or book coverage they may not qualify yet for an article here. Cloveapple (talk) 05:28, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
Viwinco user page
Hi Mike,
You had emailed me on Friday about a page I created for Viwinco. I apologize for not responding right away - I was home from work for the weekend.
I thought the user page just got me set up - I didn't realize it was subject to the same rules as a public page.
I'm confused - our competitors Andersen Windows and Pella have Wiki entries. Why can't my business? If someone within the organization doesn't create the Wiki page - who else will?
Thanks. I tried doing some research on Wiki before creating that page to make sure it followed the format of other window manufacturers - I'm sorry for doing it wrong.
Any advice is appreciated - especially if creating a company page is even feasible.
Thanks. Kimberly — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.40.143.238 (talk) 16:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
Redirect using "No indications of separate notability"
Hi Mike,
Department of APECE,University of Dhaka has been organised there at University of Dhaka, Bangladesh recently. It needs information for the students of APECE and the page University of Dhaka unable to meet the needs. I'm a student of University of Dhaka. Please don't redirect the page to University of Dhaka. We, the students of APECE will add informations there. And I'm really sorry for some little mistakes.
Rashtab. --Rashtab (talk) 18:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- Not everything deserves a page, and Wikipedia should not be used by your university for adverting something that their own websites should cover. With that in mind, and since you're determined to contest the redirect, I've nominated the page for deletion - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Department of APECE, University of Dhaka and make your case there.

Mike, this is Terry another employee of WZMH Architects Firm. We are currently in the process of creating a brand new Website that will launch within the next weeks. One of the tasks that I have given to my team is to search various search engines to understand who and how we go about advising of the changes. Upon coming across old/outdated/and not approved images of our projects that are being populated on Wikipedia site, it was my instructions to the team to see how we go about changing them. WE are not changing text, however changing approved images. Do you really have that much time on your hands to be policing the site, 11 time to be exact for editing image/ or deleting. I'm not a big user of this site, but there has to be some legality to wrongful publications of images or content which I like to pursue. Given your available, I see no reason why you cannot provide this information in a timely. Thanks for your assistance and education in this matter.

Speedy deletion declined: Amy Lemons
Hello MikeWazowski, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Amy Lemons, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 20:22, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- I did not tag the page for speedy deletion. I just restored the tag when it had been improperly deleted by the page creator. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:25, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey, why was my page deleted? I came home from work and it was gone?!!!? I got all the facts right from the members and I don't think there was any mistakes made. I couldn't figure out how to add pictures, so they were not on the page, but everything else looked alright.

please take a look into this
This article does not meet notability guidelines. It mentions an award in 2004, but in fact it seems like it is a lie. There is no record of the subject receiving this award, and in fact there is a record of someone else receiving it. Standard2211 (talk) 22:19, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
MIB multiple issues and notability
Since the day that it was tagged with those, I haven't gotten an answer to why it was tagged and what parts of the article needs to be fixed. Can you help and explain what needs to be words correctly? Jae ₩on (Deposit) 16:47, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Deletions / Undos
I am unsure why you seem to be targeting my posts. While I am new to it, is wikipedia not about sharing information? I am not a spammer.
You seem to want to delete and undo things very quickly. There is no way you have considered the material. Please take some time to compare the links and where they are posted and you will see that they are all interconnected and relevant. That's all I ask.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Birdsong2010 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, I have considered the material - every article you've created has been a blatant copyright violation of material lifted from Stephens Gerard Malone's website, and every contribution you've made (both in your account and from your original IP address) has been to add content promoting Malone and his books to various articles. You have not provided a single valid independent reference as to why any of this is notable, and I have been well within the guidelines to remove content or flag articles as necessary. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:51, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
-All I have had any time to do is chase you around as you chase me. How does anything ever get posted (or updated to make it current and more relevant - as i was only attempting to do) on Wikipedia with folks like you deleting items before they are even really completed or fully referenced properly? It doesn't make any sense and is not working in the spirit of sharing information freely and openly.
Again, I ask - how does a highly relevant historical reference to a book that isn't even available for sale any longer constitute book spam?
For the record, I was only copying material that already existed on Wikipedia. Again, if you would take the time to read before simply deleting items, you could investigate that.
I am not trying to start a war - far from it - but I am also not trying to spam anyone. I am only trying to update information and you are making that completely impossible.
You have to understand that not everyone works as fast as you are able to delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Birdsong2010 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
