PoolWerx Page Deletion Query

Hi there,

On the 29th of December, 2011, the page PoolWerx was put up for speedy deletion and deleted whilst I was away on holidays. When I returned I found the page deleted. I struggle to see how the page could be nominated for speed deletion, as less than a month earlier the page received a 'barnstar' award from the administrator Cindamuse for developing a quality page. Since the 'barnstar' was received there has only been really minor changes made.

Could you please inform me as to where the page conflicts with Wikipedia guidelines so that I can correct them. I would also appreciate a copy of the deleted page if that is ok.

Kind Regards, Shannon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shannonob90 (talk • contribs) 06:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) It was horrifically promotional. Indeed, neither John nor PoolWerx are notable enough to have 2 separate articles. Merge the two into one reasonable article and let it stand. Oh, and I sure hope you're not involved in the company (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 12:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Bwilkins above and Cindamuse offer good advice. To begin, I feel as though you have a conflict of interest, and I strongly recommend that you refrain from editing in your area of conflict. Ignoring the promotional content, businesses and individuals need to be able to pass WP:GNG to merit inclusion on Wikipedia. PoolWerx and John O'Brien, however, do not appear to pass that policy at this time. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:25, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reggie Bush lead

I had left only his birth year in the article per WP:MOSBIO: "For example, exact birth and death dates are certainly important to the person being described, but if they are also mentioned in the body and in the infobox, the vital year range can be sufficient to provide context in some cases. Birth and death places should be mentioned in the body if known, and in the lead if they are relevant to the person's notability." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagumba (talk • contribs) 22:09, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of a single biography on Wikipedia that doesn't include full birth dates if they are known. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:16, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You are probably right. I think it's the birthplace in the lead where there is more objection.—Bagumba (talk) 22:23, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I believe so. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:24, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John O'Brien (Australian businessman)

Just confirming that my post on the discussion page that was created for "John O'Brien (Australian Businessman)" was received. I simply clicked on the the 'Talk' tab at the top of the page.

Cheers.

--Shannonob90 (talk) 01:44, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see it. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:44, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Help on Decertification vs. Disclaiming CBA rights

Hi, I was wondering if you could help weigh in on decision related to the recent NFL lockout. You were very helpful last time I worked with you, so any additional insight here would be great. --TravisBernard (talk) 18:50, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with legal jargon. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:52, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Brookshier

I was unsure why you removed the Philadelphia Eagles template from Tom's article? Don't know much about these things, but wanted to make sure it wasn't inadvertent. I'd also been meaning to talk to you about your post last month on Malleus's page, but I lost it in the shuffle! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:24, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be happy to discuss my changes with you. A few months ago, the main team navboxes (i.e. {{Philadelphia Eagles}}) housed too many links, and included a listing of players with retired numbers. Brookshier was included in this navbox, but after a discussion on one of the project talk pages, the navbox was split and {{Eagles Retired Numbers}} (among other navboxes) was created, which now includes Brookshier. Regarding our previous discussion, all I can say is that I appreciate the level of detail and expertise you've contributed to the encyclopedia over the years. Eagles 24/7 (C) 00:33, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for filling me in on the Eagles-- I was only checking on the chance it was inadvertent. I haven't dug it up yet, but as I recall, your post to Mally's page mentioned something to the effect that you wouldn't do the same thing again today, which is all one can ask. If I find the time to go find your post, I might be able to say something more intelligent about it ... anyway, in case you're interested in expanding Tom's article, the New York Times obit and others have good info ... I don't expand it because I have a COI. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:16, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Mr. Brookshier's article is on my expansion "to do" list, actually. The discussion on Malleus' talk page can be found here. If I had the chance to go back, I would definitely handle the situation more carefully. Eagles 24/7 (C) 04:28, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finding that ... whatdya mean, "rough around the edges"? I'm such a refined southern belle ... I emailed TFM after that, but never heard back from him, so I guess we can assume he's no longer interested, which is probably a good thing anyway, but I do appreciate that you acknowledged you might have handled it differently. TFM make the work here lighter for lots of folks, and never really did any harm (like we have to deal with daily from the real jerks, who may be "civil" but can make life here miserable). Of course, I was always curious what led you to block him, but I don't expect you to tell me :) Thanks for keeping an eye on Tom's article, best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, I don't remember how I came across his contributions list, but it looked to me that he was only here to fool around. I would have researched into him more if I could rewind. Eagles 24/7 (C) 04:41, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, he did fool around, but it was generally harmless-- and he got better than 50% in ArbCom elections because he was such a straight shooter and so well liked, and he just generally "got it" ... and he helped me *a lot* with the Ima Hogg April Fools featured article blurb, and her image, which he got ... but history. Eagles, since you're on, and Daniel Case hasn't yet reponded to me, do you have any idea what is going on at User talk:RichardMills65 (something about DeltaQuad and a block, but it's above my pay scale ... I think I happened upon something ... weird). Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:45, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, never mind, Daniel Case just got there. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:46, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I understand where you're coming from, and I'm glad things got cleared up at that user's talk page. Eagles 24/7 (C) 04:56, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please block this character. They're only out to troll at the reference desk. Calabe1992 02:14, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spotted that. He had an IP as well, but it got blocked for unrelated. Thanks. Calabe1992 02:22, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

random nickname for Tyrone Carter

Hey, E. Can you check your references to see if "Chowder" is a legitimate nickname for Tyrone Carter? Of course there are no refs in the article, and the nickname has a sort of made-up, inside joke, potential BLP issue feel about it. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:41, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From what I can see, "Chowder" is what he is called by his friends, but it is not very well-known in the media. I would remove it until a legitimate source references the nickname. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:55, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Signpost: 23 January 2012

Calvin Johnson

His Georgia Tech profile has 9/25. Which source do we trust more? Disavian (talk) 19:20, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Usually NFL.com is more reliable. ESPN also has 9/29. Eagles 24/7 (C) 19:22, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I figured I'd ask. :) Disavian (talk) 19:29, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

can you please revert to the edit i made for erwin mcmanus?

i'm simply attempting to update his page based on the projects that he is currently working on, all of which are completely true and factual. i'm not sure how there is a conflict of interest involved. all of the information i have provided about erwin mcmanus is both true and relevant. please let me know how we can best resolve this so that erwin's page is current. thank you.

Christidwell (talk) 23:13, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Edwin McManus you are talking about is not the same Edwin McManus for whom that article is written about. The McManus you are talking about is not notable enough to warrant inclusion on Wikipedia, and your changing the page from one notable person to one non-notable person is not acceptable. Your saying "this edit was requested by erwin himself" shows that you have a clear conflict of interest with the subject, in addition to your blatant advertising, as he requested you edit the article for him. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

its not for edwin mcmanus, but for erwin mcmanus. and yes, this is the exact person whose bio is in wikipedia. the same erwin mcmanus who is the pastor and leader of mosaic church is the erwin mcmanus who owns mcmanus studios and is working in film and fashion. one in the same. the same person. erwin launched his brand called MCMANUS in november of 2011 and the website is http://mcmanus.la. he is still the pastor and leader of mosaic church, but his primary focus and his current work is on his MCMANUS fashion brand. i want to be perfectly clear, the "erwin mcmanus" for whom this article has been written is the exact same "erwin mcmanus" whose page i'm am attempting to update. Christidwell (talk) 23:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that does clarify things a bit, but the gross amount of advertising in your edits still could not be allowed to stand. Eagles 24/7 (C) 23:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

What are the concerns raised that I cannot have Rollback. Some user gave it to me, and took it away. Thanks,--RubinkumarTalk 22:09, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a response to your quote:

Here is a list of the containing items:

  •  Done:

"After you have spent some time (50-200 edits) reverting blatant vandalism, you can request it again,...". I have 125 or so edits with Twinkle and other vandalism fighting tools such as Lupin's anti-vandal tool, and Huggle on the test wiki. As this user reminded me to do, I am requesting it again.

  •  Done:

"Not enough evidence of reverting vandalism" is just simply not true. As I said earlier, I have over 100 edits reverting vandalism, and 450 edits total. This doesn't make any sense.

  •  Done

"Lack of experience" has been fixed. My edit count since I requested that rollback was about 395. I also know how to use hundreds of templates. That is NOT lack of experience at all. I also know how to mark CSD as a bonus.


Also, something I don't get is that I got my privileges given and revoked very quickly. I didn't make one single edit during the time they weren't revoked. How? Did I do anything wrong?

Can you move Todd Peterson (place kicker) to just Todd Peterson, since the WR isn't notable?--Yankees10 03:12, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The link I made for Conker Media on my talk page is enough. Am I allowed to make the article again? Androzaniamy (talk) 12:32, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. Eagles 24/7 (C) 18:11, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What?

You marked my image that I uploaded for a copyright violation. You said on the edit summary:

That makes absolutely no sense. If the image was bad quality, why is it being deleted for a copyright violation? It was copied from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Joe_Dan_Mills_Elementary.jpg. It read:
