 | NEW MESSAGES GO TO THE BOTTOM. NOT THE TOP.
Please add new messages to the bottom of the page. If a conversation is started here, I'll respond here; if it starts on your talk page, I'll respond there. |
I prefer to communicate via talk pages. Please only email me if there is a good reason not to conduct a conversation on a talk page. I do not respond to emails regarding link deletions and other issues that should be discussed on your userpage or the article talk page.
Why did you remove my external links?
If you've come here because you want to know why I removed some external links you've added, please read Wikipedia's policies on spam, Wikipedia external link guidelines and conflict-of-interest first. Because of Wikipedia's popularity, it has become a target for folks looking to promote their sites, which is against Wikipedia policies. If you read WP:SPAM and still feel that your link(s) does not violate those policies, let me know.
One common argument I hear is But so-and-so link is on that article, and it's commercial! WP:EL doesn't explicitly forbid In links to commercial sites; it depends on the notability of the link, its content, and if it's a reference or a notable pro/con argument on a controversial subject, etc. On the other hand, I think that many Wikipedians would agree that there are way too many commercial links at present time, so feel free to "prune away" if the link doesn't meet guidelines in WP:EL. Incidentally, if you've come here to complain that I've deleted links to your blog (especially a blog with advertising), don't bother. You'll have to find free advertising somewhere else. A good Google search will reveal plenty of places for that sort of thing.
Vandalism and insults left here will be recycled in the bit bucket. Remember: be nice!

Hi, do you know if there are any topic-specific notability guidelines relating to biographies of medical people? I am a bit concerned about Vykunta Raju. - Sitush (talk) 10:28, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I do not know of any topic-specific medical biog guidelines The standard guideliners biog of living person and notability guidelines of course apply. The article you mention might sensibly be referred to articles for deletion. It does not qualify for speedy deletion. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:37, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. Since there are no topic-specific get-out-of-jail guidelines, I'll do just that. - Sitush (talk) 14:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You recently deleted the page Cyprien Iov. Soon after another user recreated the page and keeps removing the speedy deletion tags. I'm not sure how to handle this. Tchaliburton (talk) 05:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- As I've told Tchaliburton several times, and is plain as day in the edit history, I did not recreate the article. I declined their speedy, but via an edit conflict glitch have ended up showing as the article creator. Software glitches happen, but they do not operate to disadvantage editors caught up in them. They've refused to discuss the matter civilly, choosing instead to boilerplate-template my talk page while deleting without responding to my (non-templated) comments on their own. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 06:37, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- In my opinion this article qualifies for speedy deletion; this hinge on a decision as to whether the stated activity as a blogger is adequate assertion of significance, which I feel it is not. However, as the PROD will expire in a little under two days I have no objection to waiting until this expiration for the fate of the article to be reconsidered. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:07, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this IP is a Subversive IP. Please block It!--Abiii13wp (talk) 16:09, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Please request this at AIV.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:26, 16 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Did you see this one Syd Wilder, which you had deleted? Thanks. Logical Cowboy (talk) 23:18, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that you speedily deleted Free Donbass after another admin, DGG, declined the speedy. Would you consider undeleting it? Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- No. I concede that the organization, which self-declares not to be a political party, won a significant percentage of the vote described, as noted by DGG. However, as the vote was discounted by the US and EU and by Ukraine, within whose territory is the Donbass oblast, in my view the deletion rationale is valid. Feel free to appeal at deletion review. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:19, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nate Wessel created History of sewing patterns by removing that information from Pattern (sewing) and making it its own article. You recently deleted that newly-created article as a copyvio of http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/blog/sewing-patterns.html . However, if you check the bottom of that page, it says "From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_(sewing)" so it's clear that this blog copied part of that article, not that History of sewing patterns was copied from that page. Can we recreate the article and have it not deleted this time, or can it be undeleted? Thanks! Ca2james (talk) 17:56, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 18:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

heres what the blocking editor removed from the talk page.
- "Not True. Ill be ditching you PERMANENTLY IF YOU FOLLOW AROUND ANY OF MY EDITS AGAIN. In all Kindness. BUZZ OFF ALREADY. Ive noticed you have oner editors writing about you , how you try and 'bait" them in to arguing with you so you can block them Really sounds classy ." 73.193.195.69 (talk) 01:57, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- "I asked you for help on a page, You disagreed and were all "cocky" about it. NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. Then after Coming down on me like I was WRONG. The other editor Realized I WAS CORRECT AND CHANGED THE PAGE ANYWAY . Now you've turned in to what appeared to be a simple mediation request in to a few WEEK thing "watching" my page . might want to get more sleep ." 73.193.195.69 (talk) 02:21, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I have already stated on your talk page, the actions of the blocking admin are correct. Incidentally your excessive use of upper-case letters, while not technically wrong, is not helpful and some editors would find it irritating. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You recently deleted the Salewa page I created. I am in no way connected to the company (but have purchased something by them and was surprised there wasn't a page for them already) so it is not advertising/self-promotion. There is a lengthy German language article on Salewa and it is linked to from the Wild Country page (which is a subsidiary of Salewa). I realise I did not have a lot of information and should perhaps have marked it as a stub but I do feel it is worthy of a page. I would like to put it back and try to add more detail when I am able to. If you still feel it shouldn't be there, please could you explain why? Thanks. Devilsevilhair (talk) 19:47, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I deleted on the two bases that the article promoted a non-notable company. The German article is not relevant. You have two options: you can either apply at deletion review page and ask the community to overturn my decision; or you can write an extended article and submit it. What is not an option is for me to restore the deleted article in the expectation of its being upgraded at some future date. Best wishes. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:42, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm contesting this and brought it to Deletion Review Board today to contest the deletion by you. I wroted the reason before it was deletion. the Article was representation of what I do in real life and various places. CassandraSaturn (talk) 23:41, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Anthony! Viewing the edit filter log, I stumbled upon Anthony Bradbury2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The question is, is this account by any chance yours? I also looked vandalism at Anthony Bradbury abroad, which by your userpage, you state is yours. So if possible take a look at that too.

Reg. Deletion "Soft Robotics"
Hey Anthony! Thanks for checking on the "Soft Robotics" article. You initiated the deletion based on a copyright infringement G12 for the following link: http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fbioe.2014.00003/full
However, I am not sure why. The cited article is available for free (the link works) and the journal is open access. Can you please clarify what should be changed here? Thank you and have a great day!
