For reference, I don't think it was that guy. The IP's didn't check out, and the Montagna vandalism was subtle. I've seen a bit of similar stuff on the Capone article, but there's no reason to assume it's him. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 22:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks! There *is* a method to why I did that, though. This is not the first IP hopper we've had to manage (although it does seem to be the most full of itself). NawlinWiki (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Elara
I don't understand why the Elara Foodservice Disposables entry was deleted. It is a social enterprise and I would like to add it to the list of social enterprises. Jimhill1973 (talk) 20:18, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Because the page was purely promotional/advertising. "reliable, high-quality and professional-strength" - "manufactured to the most stringent food-safety standards", etc. Also, it didn't show that this company was notable per our standards at WP:CORP, as established by reliable independent sources per WP:V.

Vandal creating multiple accounts
Thanks for your note about User:The Sisser. Can we block account creation by his IP address? Sunray (talk) 16:46, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Casker
Hello, this is my first page creation so I may have been breaking a zillion laws. A page exists for Casker ko:캐스커 in the Korean Wikipedia and I thought it would be good for the English speaking Wikipedians to have the same information, if I can get it to the same level (citing sources etc) will it be eligible not to be deleted? I realise my first edit lacked a lot of the details required for being notable but I wanted to add these as I go along (or is it possible to save a page while it is in the works?). Thanks.

Today I Caught the Plague
HI NawlinWiki. While exploring stuff around Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Mongeese/Today I Caught the Plague, I see that you recently restored Today I Caught the Plague. Perhaps you may like to comment at the MfD. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 14:06, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I need help. re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martin_Agency
Hi NawlinWiki: I clearly made a mistake yesterday while trying to update information to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martin_Agency, which had already been in place for some time. I didn't have much experience with Wikipedia prior to this addition and was under the impression that Wikipedia was more newbie user-friendly than it is and was not aware of the specific protocols in place. After much reading and corresponding with Orangemike, I know understand why such protocols exist and respect those reasons. My problem is this: The page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martin_Agency was speedily deleted upon my additions (which were still being edited and cited while it was speedily deleted) and I don't feel that I had a fair chance to explain my situation. Orangemike has clearly described how I violated the editing process and I know understand my error, however the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martin_Agency is no longer valid as it stood and has may error/deletion messages on it. I am trying to have this page restored as it was prior to my edits. The page did have some notable information/references and had obviously been vetted before I came along. Orangemike has been kind enough to give me a user page to rework the editing that I had added and make it more in line with Wikipedia's protocols. I will be sure to work with other editors to make this information more pertinent, credible and notable in the future. I don't think the other editors of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martin_Agency should be penalized because of my mistake. Please advise. Thanks you Tracifl (talk) 13:57, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see any previous history to The Martin Agency before you created the page yesterday. Regardless, when you have finished working on the page in your userspace, and if it shows that the company is notable per WP:CORP, as established by reliable independent sources per WP:V, it can be moved back to mainspace at The Martin Agency. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:29, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
I see. Thank you. I am going to work on getting notable information with credible sources as per your criteria. Thank you for your assistance. Tracifl (talk) 14:32, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
Please give me feedback on whether or not this page has been done correctly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tracifl/martin Once it is approved, I'd like to move it back over to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martin_Agency I really appreciate your help and sorry to be such a daft cow. thanks. Tracifl (talk) 00:03, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Much better, thanks. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Not a hoax
It's not a hoax. I jsut haven't added the references yet. There are two books that can verify it that I have in addition to a schedule for ITV from the mid-1990s.Tail of the chicken (talk) 02:09, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- There are zero references to it on IMDB or Google. If you can't cite sources that can be readily reviewed by other people (and "I have the book" doesn't cut it), don't post the article. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:11, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- If you has actually noticed the undercostruction tag you would see that I was in the process of adding that information thank you very much.Tail of the chicken (talk) 02:12, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I was just about to add it to Category:BDSM and a television stub category of sorts when the edit conflicts came along.Tail of the chicken (talk) 02:19, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Fine. Now put up (verifiable sources) or shut up. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:20, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Okay but I just checked and it still says it is deleted. I'd already added information that I don't feel like typing out again, do you know what it's like flicking through lots of different pages to get their occupations and episode summaries?Tail of the chicken (talk) 02:25, 5 February 2012 (UTC)02:24, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- That's because it's a hoax. I'm not restoring it, or talking to you further, unless you provide verifiable sources. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:27, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Notability of PsyMontreal
Thank you for the quick feedback! I'm new to Wikipedia, and certainly don't want to break any rules! Please let me know what other supporting materials are necessary for you to consider PsyMontreal's contribution to healthcare in Quebec notable. I provided references to 3 government documents supporting the work done by PsyMontreal, but can provide other articles or documents if needed. Thanks for your help! West-island-psychologist (talk) 04:21, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see how the fact that a mental health firm had 3 government contracts makes it notable per our standards at WP:CORP. There needs to be coverage by reliable independent sources (the government isn't independent, because it is a party to the contracts), see WP:V, showing notability per WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 13:27, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Once again, thanks for the lightning fast response! I now understand the source of my miscommunication - the 3 government documents referenced in the article don't refer to "contracts" with PsyMontreal. In fact, they are evaluation reports on the state of major shifts in the way health care is being delivered in Quebec, with a shift away from intervention (i.e. waiting for somebody to get sick before entry to health care services), to the prevention of illnesses (motivating the population of Quebec to modify their lifestyles by eating better, exercising more, and stopping to smoking). These 3 government documents explain the government's prevention strategy and the key use of Motivational Interviewing (supported by the training and consulting services of PsyMontreal) over the last 6 years, based on scientifically based best practices. And thank you for your suggestion of adding additional reliable independent sources -- here's an extra one. Please let me know if this is enough, or if you would like more: (This is an article published in the journal of the Professional Order of Nurses of Quebec) [1]

- That reference appears to be to an article that I can't access on the Web, and therefore can't verify. See WP:V. Furthermore, what you need is sourcing showing that PsyMontreal *itself* (not a program it is involved with) is notable per WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:29, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Once again, thank you for your guidance in this matter. I apologize that the way I presented the info did not make the contributions of PsyMontréal itself evident. I believe that the following will help to clarify the notability of PsyMontréal’s contributions to Quebec’s Health Care sector: In addition to providing the trainings, PsyMontréal itself has notably contributed to the knowledge base of Quebec health care professionals in the use of Motivational interviewing, as the trainers of PsyMontreal has had many articles (all related to the use of Motivational Interviewing to promote healthy lifestyle changes) published in various verifiable independent scientific and professional journals, including: (1) In Psychologie Québec, the official journal of the professional Order of Psychologists of Quebec [1] (2) In Inhalo, the official journal of the professional Order of Respiratory Specialists of Quebec [2] (3) In Perspective infirmière, the official journal of the professional Order of Nurses of Quebec [3] (4) In the Canadian Respiratory Journal, the official journal of the Canadian Thoracic Society [4]

Seems like the reason for block is cited as "Abusing multiple account." What is going on there? ZZArch talk to me 12:36, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Sock of recently blocked User:Porhildur and User:Guorun. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:37, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

- Common pattern of vandalism of Iceland and royalty articles. Oh, and I forgot User:Isabella Pl, who created the deleted articles HM Queen Sarah and Princess Heather of Atlasia. This latest one created Sarah,Queen Mother of Atlasia. See WP:DUCK. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:47, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Any proof to that end? ZZArch talk to me 12:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
That was not a hoax. I have seen some of the man's paintings at the Paris museum myself. Perhaps reading WP:AGF would serve the project better than your blatant failure to uphold the policy. Hello976 (talk) 02:42, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- That's nice, but you're not a reliable or verifiable source. Let me know (only) if you can find one. NawlinWiki (talk) 03:39, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Adding a notice for deleting your page, instead of deleting and leaving it there, is "not assuming good faith"? The irony. ZZArch talk to me 04:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
wrong deletion?
hi i see you deleted a page i forked off Immigrant Generations the talk page from the nominator is here [1]. i dont think it shoudl have been deleted since it had a lot of peoples contributions. probably it should have been merged with the other page and redirected? just trying to understand what happened. i think the nominator was mad at me. thanks. Bouket (talk) 06:52, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
sorry the page is Japanese Emigrant Parsing Terms which was based on Immigrant generations Bouket (talk) 19:10, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Syntonic Corporation
Hey Nawlin, you just deleted an article I wrote in regards to Syntonic Corporation. I don't quite understand why the page is being deleted? I have only included factual information about the company with respect to solar and wind power. There are plenty of other solar companies on Wikipedia that don't seem to provide anything different than what I wrote. What do I have to do to fix this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thechosenwun (talk • contribs) 17:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- You need to cite reliable independent sources to show that this company meets the notability standards of WP:CORP. Also, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:29, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Can you be more specific? How do I add a citation? Could I use the Virgin Island Energy Office as well as our other affiliates? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thechosenwun (talk • contribs) 18:01, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Gospo-Fella Entertainment
Hello there, you just deleted my Gospo-Fella Entertaiment page. Like the person above me I don't understand why my page has been deleted; only factual information was included. On my mytalk page you said I didn't indicate why the subject is notable and I had listed the label's award nominations and activities in the gospel music industry. The secondary sources supplied are not affiliated with Gospo-Fella.
(talk
- There aren't any reliable secondary sources cited - just the company's own site and what appear to be either blogs or PR releases. Also, the article is written in a promotional fashion, see WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:09, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
I nominated this article for deletion with a PROD today, and do not think the 7 days had expired. Can you please verify? While I have no expectation that this article will be developed into a usable encyclopedia article, I think in this case we risk alienating a new and good faith editor by rushing to delete it rather than giving him/her the opportunity to discuss and learn our inclusion criteria. Thanks! VQuakr (talk) 23:45, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- I had previously deleted the same article with a different title, and advised the author of our guidelines prohibiting personal essays. The author ignored the advice and reposted the same article. As you said, it was never going to be a useful article, so I think WP:SNOW applies here. I am glad to discuss with the author if the author shows any interest in such. NawlinWiki (talk) 05:09, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
- It might be worthwhile following up on the user's talk page. Their surviving live edit was a grammar correction and they appear to be editing in good faith, so it would be nice if they could be convinced to stay and learn our article inclusion guidelines. VQuakr (talk) 01:28, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
