Ruthy Alon page
Hello Jim, thank you very much for your help. I copied the Ruthy Alon Page text and the suggestions I received from wikipedia administrators to work on the page in the next future. I think I understand the motivations of the proposed deletion. I need more time than two days to work on the page for many reasons: first of all I am on vacations, and more important I usually write in collaboration with english-speaking friends because I am italian and english is my second language as you can see in this message. I want to learn to contribute to wikipedia in the right way. So as soon as my new 'Ruthy Alon' page will be ready I will try to upload it again. And I hope I will able to do a better work. Thank you again, Danielaagazzi 19:52, 9 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielaagazzi (talk • contribs)

The Great American Dream
Hi. I'd like some clarification on the speedy deletion of The Great American Dream as A7. As I understand it, A7 appiles to topics whcih are a real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event. I don't understand how that article, which was a soapbox of personal opinion fits. -- Whpq (talk) 11:35, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Professor Andrzej Wincenty Gorski
I am totally baffled as to why the text about Professor Andrzej Wincenty Gorski (Polish chemist) has been blocked as "advertising". It is simply the basic text for work I wish to develop to share Professor Gorski's insight into the morphological classification of chemical structural units and the classification of elements that differs from the standard periodic table, in the hope that it will spark some debate on the merits of the system. If this is unacceptable please could you give some guidance as to the style you wish to see this written in - it took hours just to get that text to load.Dr.PiPi (talk) 20:58, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

AR Lab
Dear Jimfbleak. I don't know why you blocked the lemma on AR Lab in May 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR_Lab. This is NOT a commercial institute , but a research laboratory in Augmented Reality, based in an Art Academy in Delft and a joint effort with Delft and Leiden University in the Netherlands.

KFC FA nomination
Hi, I was wondering if you would be willing to support my KFC FA nomination [1]. Cheers. Farrtj (talk) 14:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- That's alright. I think maybe its length was putting people off, so I've spun off the History section into an article in its own right.Farrtj (talk) 09:50, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
Leadership for Learning page
Hello,
I have tried twice to create a page for Leadership for Learning: The Cambridge Network (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leadership_for_Learning:_The_Cambridge_Network&action=edit&redlink=1) and both times, the page was deleted:
A page with this title has previously been deleted.

- First of all, just because it's your content doesn't automatically mean it can be used here. You'd have to follow the steps at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The bigger problem is that an article that's copied and pasted from a source with a severe conflict of interest would, in this case, be considered blatant advertising, and still eligible for speedy deletion under G11. You shouldn't write an article about yourself, your company, or anything else you're affiliated with. Wait for somebody else to do it. If it's notable enough to deserve an article, eventually someone will write one. Jackmcbarn (talk) 15:04, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
Thank you for your quick response. This is the text I'd like to put on the Leadership for Learning page:

Leadership for Learning Leadership for learning (LfL) is a framework and set of principles that arose from the Carpe Vitam project in which practitioners and researchers worked together to develop the practice of leadership for learning. Leadership for Learning: the Cambridge Network, based in the University of Cambridge Faculty of Education, draws together practitioners, schools and organisations concerned with these ideas. The LfL framework and principles have been used in a wide variety of contexts to frame discussions and to inform the evaluation of practice. History
The Leadership for Learning Project (known as Carpe Vitam after its Swedish commissioning body) was a research and development project focusing on the process by which schools made, and then grew, the connections between learning and leadership. It was funded for three years (2002-2005) by the Wallenberg Foundation in Sweden, with further financial support from participating countries. The project was directed from the University of Cambridge in collaboration with eight different groups of university researchers and their nominated schools in eight cities – Athens, Brisbane, Copenhagen, Innsbruck, London, Oslo, Seattle and Trenton (New Jersey). Seven countries, eight higher education institutions and 24 schools participated in exploring the connections between leadership and learning through conferences, workshops, school visits and inter-country exchanges.
The researchers did not start from a blank slate or from a neutral stance but from a set of democratic values about leadership and learning. How those values could be translated into practical strategies at school and classroom level, however, was something they planned to discover through experimentation, reflection and collective debate over the life of the project.
Part way through that process they began to identify ‘principles for practice’ that would help to clarify and focus attention on the transformations in learning and leadership that were beginning to take place. These five principles were refined and developed throughout the project. Leadership for Learning Principles for Practice
The most significant outcome of the project was a set of principles that could be used by researchers, by school leaders, by teachers and students to make the connections between leadership and learning through reflecting on, or researching, their own practice. Five statements came to represent these principles.
Leadership for Learning practice involves: • Maintaining a focus on learning as an activity • Creating conditions favourable to learning as an activity • Creating a dialogue about Leadership for Learning • The sharing of leadership • A shared sense of accountability These five principles are dynamically interrelated, with dialogue forming the connections, a focus on learning and shared leadership mediated by conditions for learning, and all framed by the fifth principle of accountability. ‘A focus on learning’ is quite deliberately placed first because it can be considered as the prime principle, reflecting a commitment to making learning the number one priority – the core of Leadership for Learning.
Each headline principle is elaborated through sub-principles that amplify and illustrate. The Cambridge Network
LfL is under the leadership of Professor John MacBeath and is coordinated by a management team that includes David Frost, Sue Swaffield, John Bangs, Megan Crawford, Panayiotis Antoniou, Ruth Sapsed and Caroline Jestaz. It is part of the Leadership for Learning academic group. The network exists to: • Improve leadership practices for the benefit of all learners. • Explore leadership for learning in educational contexts nationally and internationally. • Support practitioners with advice based on research. • Help young people to play an active role in improving learning at their school. • Undertake and facilitate research on leadership for learning. • Contribute to a leadership for learning knowledge base. • Influence educational policy. We believe that: ▪ Learning and leadership are a shared, as much as an individual enterprise.
▪ Leadership should be 'distributed' and exercised at every level.
▪ Collaborative modes of working strengthen both teams and individuals.
▪ An independent, critical perspective, informed by research is vital.
▪ The status quo and received wisdom should be persistently questioned. References:

As you can see, it's an encyclopedic entry introducing a department of Cambridge University and not advertising my own person or interests. It is new copy written for wikipedia which doesn't break any copyright laws of any sort. Therefore, could you please let me put this content online? Thank you. Caroline ≈≈≈
Sea at FAC
Hi Jim, when you get back from Cornwall, I wonder if you could find time to make some comments on the Sea FAC. Some people made comments on the article initially but since then the discussion has got rather bogged down and is turning on what the article should be called, should it be merged with Ocean, which article should redirect to which and so on. I'm hoping to find one or two uninvolved others who will review the article on its failings and merits rather than its name. By the way, this is more important to me than the Fieldfare GA nomination. Chiswick Chap and I spent weeks writing Sea and it was great fun! Thank you. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:03, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Lorius lory
Tuan Jim Frost Bleak, saya sudah kembangkan artikel id:Kasturi kepala-hitam (Black-capped Lory). Kalau tuan mau, tolong dikritik artikel saya itu. Sebab, sebentar lagi, artikel itu hendak saya calonkan sebagai Artikel Bagus. Setelah jadi Artikel Bagus, hendak calonkan jadi Artikel Pilihan. Kritik anda sangat saya hargai.
Omong-omong, apa kesibukan anda selain menulis di ornitologi? Saya sekarang memiliki kesibukan lain, yaitu menulis artikel biografi politik tokoh Kalimantan Barat (West Borneo) mengingat sebentar lagi ada pemilihan kepala daerah di sini, juga menulis artikel tumbuhan bermanfaat di Indonesia. --Akbar ini dari Kalbar 07:58, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
- Jadi, Jim, sy tahu anda tak bisa bahasa Indonesia. Saya sendiri sudah kirim surat kepada Crisco, namun dia sendiri belum memberi kepastian kepada saya. Sehingga, ada baiknya kalau anda sendiri yang mengirimkan surat kepada Crisco -mengingat kalian berdua sama-sama orang Barat dan penutur ibu bahasa Inggris-, sebab Lorius lory itu hendak saya calonkan sebagai Artikel Bagus di Wikipedia Indonesia. --

Hi Jim,
Because you participated in the FAC for the When God Writes Your Love Story article, I thought that you should be notified of the article's current featured article review. Any constructive comments you would be willing to provide there would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jim,
I have recently created an entry on my User page here. I was unable to move it to the article space and believe it is because of a previously deleted article by you with a similar title (that I didn't write and am not able to view in the deletion log). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help, Jim. One last query: should I add a photo? I can find some promotional photos online that seem to satisfy non-free promotional fair use rules. Seems like the article needs a pic. Is this the correct way to go? WineDWS (talk) 16:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Suspicion...
Hey, for some reason I saw that you deleted the page Cupcake Animals. Something told me to look at the page and I noticed that the claims and the artwork were very similar to another article, Cutie Pie Satellites. In other words, another cartoon that was supposed to be created by a known channel that had rather dodgy looking artwork. ([2], [3]) I noticed that both claimed that DHX Media were going to be creating the show and both had accounts named after the show. There's just something about this that feels like it was being done by the same person. I know that there's not a lot of proof other than a gut feeling, but I just thought I'd mention this to you so if one or both of us comes across a similar-ish article in the future, it might be worth trying to find out if this is the same person/IP and if so, potentially blocking them for a period of time for continuously uploading hoax articles.

ActionHRM_Australia
Hi Jim its Adam (Adammkelly) Can I ask why you deleted our company page when 000's of other companies have a page on Wikipedia - and most if not all e.g. Sage Software, Peoplesoft all include the products they produce.
If it's a case to drop any promotional language fine - but I can see the text / constant I had was any different to other company pages I reviewed. Can you restore / and or remove or advise the content thats not allowed - it's a big ridiculous to just delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.66.185 (talk) 07:54, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your support at the Sea FAC. Elsewhere, Fieldfare is being reviewed at GAN and I have been asked to produce a page number for the reference referring to the etymology of the Latin name (Turdus pilaris) of the bird - "Jobling, James A (1991). A Dictionary of Scientific Bird Names. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-854634-3." Do you have a copy of this book, and if so, could you locate the page number?

Andrew Mitchell QC
Andrew Mitchell QC
Hi Jim. I saw that you have just deleted a page that I created for Andrew Mitchell QC. He's a leading barrister, a judge, a bencher of one of the four Inns of Court and a former treasurer of the General Council of the Bar.
May I request you to reconsider the decision to delete?
You will see that a lot of other leading QCs have wikipedia pages, and so this is not such an unusual addition.
I am (in the broader scheme of things) trying to put together a list of office bearers of the GCB (which is the governing body for English Barristers) and this seemed like a good start.
If you can suggest edits which make it look less like promotion / advertising (which is not the intention), I am happy to rewrite it.

Luis Gutierrez
Hi Jim,
You were so helpful with the Monica Larner entry, I wonder if I could ask you another question? I created a similar entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Articles_for_creation/Luis_Gutierrez) but also couldn't move it to the article space. There is another entry for Luis Gutierrez (a different person). Was I unable to move it because of this? How do I handle this disambiguation? Thanks again! And am I also having trouble moving because of authorization level on my account? Account is certainly old enough and I have made plenty of edits, I think, to be autoconfirmed?
