Going to recreate a deleted page

Hi, I would like to recreate the deleted page about Movavi, a software developer and vendor, and keep it strictly informative due to the reason of the initial article deletion. I think this company deserves an article because its software products have been reviewed by major IT magazines and websites like Macworld, Software Informer, TopTenReviews, and such. Do you think it's OK assuming there will be no advertising or promotion in the new article? Olegbv (talk) 06:59, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I can't say. I am not a reviewer. You should ask these questions at the Tea House or post the article at Articles For Creation. In any case, if the article follows the Golden Rule and it is not promotional, or an opion piece then it shoukld be ok. -- Alexf^(talk) 12:00, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

My contribution to Portland Spy Ring

Hello, I am not sure why you have deleted my external link contribution to the entry about the Portland Spy Ring:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Spy_Ring

I don't understand why my journalistic article about this Spy Ring was any less worthy than the external links you have retained, such as from the BBC or the Ruislip website. My article was not advertising in any way, but a researched article about the Spy Ring and a hotel that was set-up at the building and which has recently closed down. I had thought that if I did a journalistic piece of relevance to a topic on Wikipedia, that this could be valid as an external link entry.

This is the link to my article:

• Report by Jon Danzig: Last guests at the ‘spy hotel’ - The story of the UK weapons base infiltrated by Soviet spies and converted into a cliff-top hotel

Regards, Jon Danzig JonDanzig (talk) 16:41, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

You may be correct, but at first sight what we have here is the impression of a conflict of interest and an author spamming his website. The correct action in these cases is to ask in the article's talk page if it is suitable, or asking at the Tea House. Also you should read about external links and reliable sources. -- Alexf^(talk) 16:49, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi! I joined Wikipedia today to write an article about the open-source project JWildfire, which I was working at now for about 3 years. In a few days we will happily see release 2.00 (which is really a high number for this project), and we already have lots of excited users from all over the world. I have tried to describe some of the key-features and the inventions of the project. But, you voted for deleting this content because you think it is irrelevant at all. I think, this must be misunderstanding. Could you please (short) explain what caused the problem? Any medium is welcome, if you just prefer a quick, Facebook-chat, we can do :-)

In regards to this article, it was created by a sock of Fairyspit, WAY after their ban, does this not qualify it for WP:G5? LADY LOTUS • TALK 17:21, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi there Alexf

I wanted to see if you could help me with a confrontational and aggressive editor. I have found they are deleting sections that are verified links to city websites. Yet they are making citations that are not verifiable as they are a links that dead end with a pay fee to view publications as proof of verification of statements in article. This violates wiki guidelines of Citing Sources They are also otherwise not adhering to wiki policy regarding neutral point of view in their titles of their paragraphs. The article I have since edited is listed under Tahoe Park Sacramento ca.wiki Please let me know if you have suggestions so I can correct them I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter. I am new so I do not know all the ins and outs of the rules but I try my best. I will follow your suggestions to a T so as to not have my work be deleted unscrupulously.

Here is the article prior to my additions:

1990's to Present Resurgence-(non-verifiable source dead link no page to verify source pay to view site.)(too narrowed a title for additions 1990's to Present)

1991, residents created the Tahoe Park Neighborhood Association (TPNA), a non-profit organization focused on community improvement.[1] The organization worked on behalf of many community concerns, including traffic,[2][3] absentee landlords,[4] and crime.[5] (grounds not neutral, and promotional)

-(non-verifiable source dead link no page to verify source pay to view site.)

By 1995, the community's activism and civic participation had created a noticeable impact on the neighborhood, resulting in a resurgence for the area.[6] Beginning in the 2000's, additional organizations arose to represent the interests of area residents.[7] First-time home buyers and real estate professionals view Tahoe Park as a desirable alternative to pricier neighborhoods such as East Sacramento and Midtown.[8]

-(non-verifiable source dead link no page to verify source pay to view site.)

I also corrected the Subheading term:

"Native Representatives" They need a verifiable source that all "representatives" are indeed "Native" to the neighborhood it could be construed as misleading the reader to think they were all from Tahoe Park and raised in the community of Tahoe Park which they were not. Also they have not provided proper citations for stating they were native to Tahoe Park Citing Sources

I just edited the article today. I have no problem with their posting again provided they provide viewable verification which verifies what the paragraph is stating. Currently they are in violation of wiki guidelines as they don't have have verifiable pages that can be viewed which state what they are saying is true and reflective of the paragraphs in the article. The title 1990's to Present Resurgence is too tailored to truly reflect 1990's to present. Resurgence while is an opinion is not a factually verifiable by their citations in the paragraph and too limiting for further additions. I put 1990's to Present to be more inclusive of additions to the paragraph yet keeping within the context of the article section of time range.

Please let me know how to progress if they delete my verifiable citations and improvements. Currently the user is violating the guidelines and being Disruptive editing by deleting deleting verifiable links to the city website where the associations can be found. I am new to editing and try my utmost to obey rules as I learn them thank you so much Alexf for all your help Espada12 (talk) 22:19, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Espada12

You should report at either AIV if it is vandalism or at the Administrators Noticeboard as I do not have the time right now to even look. -- Alexf^(talk) 22:23, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

For all who might be interested, I have updated the article's discussion page, Talk:Tahoe_Park,_Sacramento,_California, to reflect User:Espada12's concerns, as well as edits that I have made. I would encourage User:Espada12 to do the same so that any reader or admin can determine what actions, if any, are necessary. -- Sirrebral (talk) 07:06, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Uhm..."provided they provide viewable verification which verifies what the paragraph is stating" Sorry Espada12 but that is not how things work. Can't speak to your other concerns but I have removed an external link that was a wix account that is pretty much the same as a fan site. Also removed an inline citation that was added to the external link as we don't do that and it doesn't appear in the references anyway. The two of you need to find a way to work together and stop calling anything that isn't clearly vandalism "Vandalism". Even if it is wrong, as long as it is a good faith edit, it isn't vandalism.--Mark Miller (talk) 01:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

covered in gold

im still uncertain why my article was deleted, especially after i was told it wouldnt be. enuff znuff, the band that released covered in gold, is most definitely on wiki, as are the founding members, chip znuff and donnie vie. on their enuff znuff page, their complete discography is listed. covered in gold was highlighted in red, whilst the others were highlighted in blue. when i clicked on covered in gold, the page said there was no information listed on the page, hence its red highlighting. so i added information about the album. there was no copyright infringement as the write up was mine. there was no sales pitch attached. it was merely an informative detail of the album. please reinstate the listing....

Francquie22 (talk) 23:52, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Giving us the article's link greatly helps out and it is requested at the top of this edit page. Would it be so difficult to do? Anyway, I had to do the research for you (please note you know which article it is, we do not as there are thousands of deletions a day unfortunately): Covered in Gold (album)

Why was it deleted? It was stated clearly in the speedy deletion request as G11 - Advert. This was prominently posted to your user talk page here for you to do something about it. Paraphrasing that notice (still in your user talk page), it says :"the page seems to be unambiguous advertising". Why? Your writing had these selected sentences: "Everyone's favorite Enuff Z'nuff pays it forward with a heartfelt salute to the music and artists who inspired them!" and "Featuring an eclectic assortment of outstanding cover tune..". Clearly promotional. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place for advertisement and marketing. Also, and this is so important that is one of the Five Pillars of Wikipedia: Everything must be written from a neutral point of view. You surely agree that the passages mentioned here are not neutral. -- Alexf^(talk) 00:45, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Deleted Bornay Aerogeneradores

Dear Alex,

Recently and under user name Bornay that enter in conflict with the company name I change some informations regarding Bornay Aerogeneradores.

The reason why I do it is because I see some wrong links and I try to solve it and improve:

1) Bornay is a town in France, where there is a reference to Bornay Aerogeneradores (Windturbines) and then is redirected to List_of_wind_turbine_manufacturers

2) At List_of_wind_turbine_manufacturers there are some references to commercial brands, manufacturers of wind turbines like Bornay Wind Turbines. There was also Bornay that was redirected againa to Bornay and this was wrong because was a buccle city -> Wind Turbine Manufacturers -> City. I try to solve this by adding Bornay Aerogeneradores, with a very small information about the company, something like Vergnet.

3) I try to do not commercial and just to put small information regarding the company. Exactly like Vergnet. Also put a stub information.

How can I change, solve, and put it ok for wikipedia ??

In order for an article to be in Wikipedia, the subject has to be shown to be notable. This is done by means of independent reliable references. This was not done. The compamny matching the name of a city is irrelevant. The list cannot contain entries without an article showing notability. As per your editing, if you have a conflict of interest you must declare it. Please make sure you read and understand the Conflict of Interest Guide before you do. -- Alexf^(talk) 12:41, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arseholic

I am not sure why you have deleted this entry as a hoax. It was not a hoax and if you read the original entry you will see that I asked for references that may predate the original idea to create a new word. If contributors can quote earlier references then I agree it should be deleted but wouldn't it be interesting to wait until they do?

Could I please impress on you on the importance of following requests and policy? It would be very nice of you to read the instructions (prominently displayed at the top of this page when in edit mode), and follow them. It clearly requests you to start a new section at the bottom, to place a section header, so it does not get added to whatever was there in the previous section, as it gets mixed in and could be missed, and please sign your posts, none of which you have done. Also the requests states you should always place a link to whatever article or edit you are referring to. There are thousands of edits a day. The onus is on you to point to what you need instead of us having to do your search for you. That said, I had to find what you are talking about (it may be fresh in your mind as it was your edit, but doing hundreds of edits/fixes/notes and deletions a day, it is not as easy for us to remember). I understand you are referring to Arcot Road and the addition of a local newspaper. You have to understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which only carries notable companies and other information. You cannot just add any comment or link without proper sourcing. Doing so it is construed as advertising the business, which is strictly forbidden. Are you related to the newspaper? If so, you have a conflict of interest which should be declared. -- ~~

I noticed this was deleted. Can you please advise why? Please and thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.90.246 (talk) 20:19, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Sure. It was done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion because the article did not assert notability. It was a one-sentence article stating that he was a poet and quoted a few of his lines. No reliable sources. Only external link was to his website. Please don't forget to sign your posts. -- Alexf^(talk) 20:25, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

User:Ilia932

Hi, I saw that you blocked this editor as a probable sock, but the sockmaster was blocked as an inappropriate username and in such a case, I think it is quite reasonable for such a user to re-register on another name. Am I missing something? --Randykitty (talk) 16:21, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Maybe you are correct. The company-named account was blocked. Within minutes a new account created by them on the name of the company's owner sprung up and continued as if there was no issue, without discussion or even a question. That smelled of block evasion and an I-don't-care attitude. Then a third account started editing the same article, new account and no edits to anything else. That did it for me I and started the SPI. Is the third one legit? Maybe. Is this block evasion? I think so. *If* any one of them had come out and asked (in the article's talk page or in my talk page) I would have thought differently and would have engaged them in conversation and explained to them the issues with COI editing, etc. -- Alexf^(talk) 16:31, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

You're right about all that. However, note that the blocking admin did not leave the usual template explaining to newbies how to handle this. That could explain the behavior you describe, I think. --Randykitty (talk) 16:33, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

You are correct. My fault on that one. I was having connectivity issues at the time and somehow the tool did the block but could not get to post the working and I did not realize it at the time. -- Alexf^(talk) 11:22, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Page Deletion

Hi Alexf,

I did not find any reason, why you have deleted my page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomesPakistan) from Wikipedia. It was not created with the intention of promotion. I have followed the same patter,n which another online platform has been using and created page on Wikipedia for information purpose. If you want to check, please have a look at this URL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zameen.com).

Waiting for your reply!

As explained in the deletion summary, it was done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion because the article did not assert notability. A new company may not be ready. Are you related to the company?. If so you should read the Conflict of Interest guide. By the way, mentioning another page does not help your case. Each article must live on its own merits. Lastly, you created a new subpage on my user space. Please do not do that. This is my talk page to communicate. Please remember to sign your posts. -- Alexf^(talk) 11:22, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Alexf, in that case, you can guide us, how to create a new page? I have mentioned another page just to let you know that I have followed the pattern, which already exists on Wikipedia. Let me create my page with improved content, more external and Wikipedia references. It might help me clarifying the purpose of my page and we can further discuss on it. Should I create? --SFaysal (talk • contribs) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.12.41.194 (talk) 07:46, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Kaitoku-ji

Here's an attempt at a Haiku, even though it's more of proof that I read User:Alexf/CSD than anything else:

'bout Kaitoku-ji

the article wasn't bad

please undelete it

I've posted a message on the article's talk page to ask for undeletion, but I believe it went unnoticed. Either way, I would like to request for it to be undeleted, because I believe that if the Japanese Wikipedia is allowed to have an article about it, so does the English Wikipedia. A different content language (in my opinion) doesn't make a difference in notability. The only reason it didn't have sources is because I do not know the format for those and I doubt I can just copy them from Japanese Wikipedia without giving a romanized/transcribed version of them.

Thanks for considering to undelete. I'd like to request you to also put a talkback template on my talk page when you see this and have responded, because I'm not visiting Wikipedia that frequently and may forget. Looking forward to your response!

Redirect deletion?

An article was recently created about John Olatunde Ayeni CON, the Chairman of Skye Bank in Nigeria. As the biography was largely promotional and poorly sourced, and as I was unable to find any better sources than the man's own LinkedIn profile or the brief blurb printed by Reuters, I redirected the article to Skye Bank. You then deleted the page as an unlikely redirect. I'd like to know why? (Most specifically because, with the deletion of the redirect, the spammy poorly sourced bio has reappeared and if I redirect again, I'd like to know that the redirect won't be deleted again.)

That is the case because in the first case I didn't understand what rules there were for the accountnames, so I made 2 accounts with wrong usernames, which I didn't use anymore when I found that out. The ilia932 account is now my account that I use, that's not in violation with the wiki guidelines. I don't use the other accounts anymore, ever.

I understand your issue with the account names. That has been resolved. What it has not is your conflict of interest with the subject matter. I am not comfortable with restoring it, as it is a serious COI. You should read the Plain and Simple COI Guide before you continue. As per learning the mechanics of using Wikipedia, I am happy for it. Just please use internal links instead of external (I fixed the link to the discussions at @Jimfbleak:), and please remember to sign your posts. -- Alexf^(talk) 13:59, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Alex. I'm happy with your response, and I'll go along with it. I would have spam-blocked rather than soft-blocked if I'd got to it first, which would have avoided the roundabout way we have got here Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:06, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

@Jimfbleak: In retrospect I agree. Spamublock would have been more appropriate here. -- Alexf^(talk) 17:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your response Alex. I will try to remember to master all of the mechanics of Wikipedia, thanks for the help with that! It's indeed a serious case of Conflict of Interest, but now i know more about the regulations of wikipedia I can and would love to make the article in advance of the aims of Wikipedia, rather than advancing the outside interest. I will try to make this article so educational as possible, adding the festivals/prizes that the films have won, some remarkable notes (if available). Maybe someone has more ideas for me to add some more information that they would know about the subject? -- Ilia932 (talk) 08:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Emad Asfoury

Hi, could you please have a look at Emad Asfoury? Do you think it is ready for deletion? It's a promotional article edited by a weird combination of SPAs. Would not be surprised if there was socking. Thanks. Logical Cowboy (talk) 02:44, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Sorry but I pass. Besides that I am not a good reviewer of the quality of an article (we have people that do that), I took a quick look and saw that he works in collaboration with Chopra. That stopped me. If you look at my userboxes page you would see why I would be biased, so I have to recuse myself in this instance.-- Alexf^(talk) 11:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

About deleting "algorithm hierarchy in coding interview"

Hi Alexf, I just confuse about the reason "A11. Obviously invented" to delete my article. Maybe my article isn't suitable for wikipedia, but it is really written by my own. I am willing to contribute to wikipedia, but I just don't know what topic to write. Could you kindly tell me why del my article, maybe there is restriction of topic? Thanks Changyu.yang (talk) 11:08, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

You have not linked to the article so I've no idea which article you are talking about. There is a reason why this is prominently requested at the top of the edit page. The article may be fresh in your mind, but with 100k+ edits, which means several hundred a day, there is no way I can recall every single instance. You have to point me to it so I can take a look. -- Alexf^(talk) 11:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. The linked is as title Algorithm Hierarchy in Coding Interview -- Changyu.yang (talk) 13:33, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

I looked at the article again, (btw, please use internal links for WP articles - I fixed the link here). It is not suitable for Wikipedia. We are an encyclopedia and we only publish notable subjects with reliable references. Your piece was original research and your opinion. It was also promotional, (spamming a website). Furthermore, it cannot be published because it has an inappropriate copyright (as you stated yourself at the bottom). We cannot publish material that is not either licensed by CC-by-SA or Public Domain, in any case we cannot publish Non-free content. -- Alexf^(talk) 13:50, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

FC Bovver

Hello Alexf. I am writing to you concerning the deletion of my page FC Bovver. This was my first attempt at writing a wikipedia page and as a fan of the club I felt that it would be suitable for this to be my first page. As a beginner to wikipedia, I had not considered mentioning the integrity of this clubs following, nor the references or sources to which I got my information from. I understand now that this page was not yet suitable for wikipedia, and therefore ask you if you would be willing to send the code I wrote for this page. With this I pledge to improve the page by adding necessary sources and references. Thank you.

Sven, you should read the instructions, especially the ones at the top of this edit page. You have not provided a new section so it bunched up inside of whatever was there before, and you have not provided a link to the article as required. Also you should remember to sign your posts. In order for a subject to have an article in this encyclopedia it must be notable. This is asserted by providing reliable sources. In the case of football or futsal clubs please check the requirements in WP:FOOTYN. Lastly, your request to userfy the article cannot be granted as you do not have an account here. If you have questions about Wikipedia, you can always ask at the Tea House. -- Alexf^(talk) 18:00, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Evan Money's page

Hi Alexf,

I am writing to inquire about the recent deletion of Evan Money's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_Money

Can you provide more info on why it was elected for speedy deletion? I believe I saw that the reasoning was that the subject wasn't notable...I suspect that I'll need more reliable sources, but please let me know.

Thank you! :)

Jeanietask (talk) 02:15, 18 October 2014 (UTC) Jeanie

(talk page stalker) Because not once, not twice, but thrice "articles" were created, full of promotional horsecrap like "Money lives his dreams and encourages others to do the same with his breakthrough seminars and as a highly coveted public speaker". Anybody who writes like that has no business coming anywhere near other human beings, much less trying to edit an encyclopedia. This article title has been blocked from recreation, to avoid further abuse. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:05, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

I wouldn't put it quite as eloquently as @Orangemike: but yes it did not have proper sources. Even if, it would have been deleted as a promotional piece. I read like a definite promo, even including a copyright violation in the image used. Wrong on so many counts. -- Alexf^(talk) 09:24, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello

Article for "Moe Rock" was deleted. Person is well known public figure that has worked on hollywood movies. Would like to work with you and correspond to ensure the proper procedures are outlined for the article to be reinstated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdamGoldstein (talk • contribs) 18:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Article was deleted for lack of assertion of notability. "Well know public figure" does not do much in Wikipedia, assertion of notability does. Would be nice and helpful if you linked the article as requested. Please remember to sign your posts in talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). -- Alexf^(talk) 20:05, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

"Vahid Takro" should be created

hello, this page "Vahid Takro" should be created. because he is an international singer in Iran, he won many awards in Tehran festivals, people should find him on Wikipedia, and wikipedia should know about him. thank you. we hope we can make it with many languages. it was ok some days ago but deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Natasuncompany (talk • contribs) 21:49, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Article was deleted for lack of assertion of notability. It did not have proper sourcing. On top of that it was written in a promotional tone and it was an autobiography. It was also slated for a while for being repeatedly recreated. It would be nice and helpful in the future if you linked the article as requested. Please remember to sign your posts in talk pages with four tildes (~~~~). --

Gekkos of Zimbabwe

Dear Alex,

You have deleted my article and all the hard work I put in. The deletion occurred whilst I was a. Appealing the initial tagging decision and b. Improving the article and expanding it So I lost all my work before I had a chance to save it

My article was 1. Encyclopedic, it is not a copyright violation I CREDITED BRANCH BILL, Snakes and Other Reptiles as my Primary Source, it is NOT 2. an advertisement or spam, NOR it is 3. an attack page or other form of vandalism.

I submitted four explanations to appeal the decision to delete. Forgive me if this seems personal but I have Zoology, Conservation and Veterinary degrees and am a native Zimbabwean. The patroller who tagged me is an Engineer in a European Country where English is not the first language as it is in Zimbabwe. If it helps at all I can submit a HAIKU image of a Gecko with my article along with the photo files I have. The apparent duplication my article was alleged to have infringed was for GEKKO that is an ASIAN genus of lizards my articles was about AFRICAN LIZARDS being O. Gekkonidae. Thousands of tourists (and locals) visit Game Parks in Zimbabwe to see Large Game....the chalets, tents, lodges etc are teaming with geckos that eat the mosquitoes and other bugs.......so many visitors to Zimbabwe ask me about the little critters (geckos).....they see....so I do see a need for this article (and the amendments I submitted at the same time i was deleted) I am baffled by this process of deleting a thought-out article and an established need ....... I never even had an any feedback from my appeals

The only error I can see is inconsistency in spelling (I will check my spellcheck more vigorously in future....even when my articles are stubs) I apologise for that.... PLEASE REINSTATE GEKKOS OF ZIMBABWE It may need to be amended to GECKOS (standard english).....but it had the makings of a good article ..... and i and others would have edited it and improved it WITH THANKS DrC.Humphreys (talk) 22:33, 19 October 2014 (UTC)Clive HUMPHREYS DrC.Humphreys (talk) 22:33, 19 October 2014 (UTC)DrC Humphreys

I would appreciate if you started a new section as required, instead of putting your message in another totally unrelated section. Also, once is enough. I've no idea why you repeated your message twice. The article was removed because we already have an article on gekkos. If you feel we need a special section on Zimbabwe, you should discuss it first in the article's talk page, or if you want more exposure, and a better discussion, the place is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles where the more knowledgeable people are. I am willing to usefy the article for you if you want. so you do not lose your work. Do not recreate the same article without discussion. It will be removed again by administrators for the same reason. Ask at the indicated project, and indicate if you wanted userfied to continue working on it. -- Alexf^(talk) 23:15, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Dear Alexf Thank you for usefying my article. I am a relatively new / infrequent user so am trying to figure this all out (like submitting something twice because it doesnt appear to have been received) I have looked at WikiProject Amphibian and Reptiles and stubs and starts make up 96% of all topics. But they will hopefully give me guidance. I m not sure how to contact Usefy but hopefully will get there. Gekkos are an Asian Genus of Lizards....I wanted disseminate information on African Lizards of Order Gekkonidae Hopefully I ll make some progress. How do I suggest a category at the end of an article ...like <zoology> and <heretology> many thanks Clive DrC.Humphreys (talk) 23:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC) DrC Humphreys

@DrC.Humphreys: Userfied at User:DrC.Humphreys/Gekkos of Zimbabwe. For help on formatting and writing you can consult the Manual of Style. There are also the comprehensive help files and you can always ask questions at the friendly folks at the Tea House. -- Alexf^(talk) 12:53, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
