Why wipe out revision history?

On 28 March 2015 you wiped out the revision history of my talk page. Why? — Ottawahitech (talk) 15:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

  • I did not "wipe out" the history - I moved it. I am one of admittedly a very small minority who feel that, if possible, the history of an archive page should live with the "top copy" of the archive. Thus for example, if one had suspicions about the authorship of this message, I feel it is better if we can find the answer in the edit history of the same page, thus: difference report. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:33, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for being so helpful. Just wondering if you also move other talkpages in the same way, or am I in some way privileged to have had this done?

If yes, can you provide some examples of moving other talkpages please

If no, what is the reason you moved my user talkpage when I did not request it, and did it have any connection to my posting titled Tina Huang v. Twitter deleted as as vandalism within minutes of its creatiion? — Ottawahitech (talk) 14:17, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Junior Michael Chand Mahabir

You seem to have accepted the speedy reason of "He is not notable, Please move it to the Fiji Hindi wiki instead. Bhajan singers do not qualify under our notability criteria"; I'm a little puzzled. I have no idea at all of actual notability, but there is a prize, and a ref. to it. DGG ( talk ) 16:37, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Deleted page Iris Kurdica (artist)

Hello, I have seen the notification that a page I started has been deleted which has made me confused. Another admin, Nicky Mathew, flagged it for speedy deletion soon after I had started it and I did put a motivation on his talk-page. I have not received any comments back. Now, the page has been removed. Iris Kurdica is the new artistic name of a famous Kurdish artist, producer and director. As far as I know, he did not exist on Wikipedia with his previous artistic name so this may be his first appearance. More of the motivation can be seen on Niky Mathews page. Can the page be restored? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KurdsForKurdistan (talk • contribs) 19:29, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

@KurdsForKurdistan: The page can be restored if you can provide enough evidence of notability. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 20:16, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Sadly, I can't find any evidence of notability. Kindly wait until your Iris Kurdica (artist) becomes notable and someone with no WP:COI will write about it here. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 20:44, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Gamma Zeta Rho

Hi! I noticed that you deleted Gamma Zeta Rho from the list of LGBT and LGBT-friendly fraternities and sororities. Can I ask why? — Bali88 (talk) 20:25, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

  • In the source code of the "list of" page you will see an HTML comment marked "important". Please read it. Create the article here about this sorority, wait a week to see if it likely to stick and then you may think about adding it to the "list of" article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:52, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Although I think we could have this conversation without the offensive language. — Bali88 (talk) 22:12, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

You used the word dykes a couple of times. I'm not certain if they use that language to describe themselves, but it's not language I like to throw around. — Bali88 (talk) 23:12, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Thorwald Jørgensen

Hi RHaworth, I noticed that this page I submitted was deleted due to copyright problems (see reference below). The text in this article on thereminworld.com however was copied directly from Thorwald's bio (http://thorwaldjorgensen.com/en/bio) of which I'm the author. I would like to recreate this page and make it compliant to Wikipedia standards and then publish it. If there is anything else I should take into consideration, please let me know. Deleted page User:Pgteekens/Thorwald Jørgensen (Multiple reasons: speedy deletion criteria G11, G12. Source URL: http://www.thereminworld.com/Forums/T/29031/the-ny-theremin-society-presents-international-edition-friday-june28th-7pm-joes-pub-nyc) With kind regards, pgteekens — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgteekens (talk • contribs)

Hi, On 16 January 2015, you deleted the CenturyLink India wiki page citing ([Copyright violation. Creator attempted to delete within 48 and again later but was unsuccessful.]) . The page was written and updated by multiple contributor including me and was initially titled Qwest Software Services since 2007 and then CenturyLink India from 2011. So am not sure what was meant by creator (who?) attempted to delete (what?) within 48 and again later but was unsuccessful. -- Sandyiit (talk) 05:29, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

"speedy deletion" of a page I created

Hello, I got a message that the page I created was up for speedy deletion and that I could contest that nomination by clicking on a link - but apparently I wasn't speedy enough... The argument was that the topic is aready coveered in the second language page. However, as a university professor who specializes in second language acquisition, I can safely say that second language fluency is but a subtopic of a very broad "second language" topic. The intended page, to be created by students in the second language fluency course and myself, is intended to provide more in-depth descriptions and pedagogocal implications, together with measures and characteristics of fluency. In the second language page fluency is mentioned 3 times, but just as a general term similar to proficiency and the topic is neither covered in detail nor defined properly. Thank you Deborah — Preceding unsigned comment added by L2fluency (talk • contribs) 10:25, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

(stalking) Hopefully, Roger's having a fun time off-wiki so I'll deal with this .... we generally create spin-off articles to expand a topic when the main article gets too big. The second language article is only 15K, so under our general guidelines it could be up to 3 times as large without requiring a spinoff. So I would recommend adding content in that article. However, you cannot publish your own findings into second language fluency - that's original research. You must derive what you write from reliable sources that have already been published - books are great, magazines can be okay. Have a look at referencing for beginners to see the sort of things you should include. Whatever you find to source from, you must include citations, otherwise your edits are at risk of being reverted. Hope that's of use. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:42, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Need access to diffs of a deleted user page

Hi there, I recently opened a sockpuppetry ticket regarding User:Aaabbb11 as I believe them to be a sockpuppet of User:Asdfg12345 in an attempt to circumvent an old topic ban. I am trying to find evidence to connect the two, but I have very little information regarding userpage behaviour of the former (which would be a strong behavioural connection) because Aaabbb11 had their userpage deleted recently for misuse. Could you please assist me in producing diffs for that userspace prior to deletion? — Simonm223 (talk) 18:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

What you sent me is actually perfect - thank you. Simonm223 (talk) 12:58, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

FYI

Not about you but I mentioned you here. -- NeilN talk to me 20:34, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Jawani Phir Nahi Ani

You just protected the page I mentioned above from creation. I'm an autoconfirmed user and I have created content for that page here. Please check it and remove protection. UBStalk 01:42, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Jawani Phir Nahi Ani. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. UBStalk 02:22, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Jimmy Boyd (gangster)

This page, which I CSD'd yesterday, has been recreated. There are nowa couple of sources to back the allegations that he is at the least a corrupt politician, but firstly the sources seem pretty flaky to me aand secondly surely if you are to describe somebody as a gangste you need a conviction... or at least seriious allegations in (eg) old newspapers. I'm CSDing as an attack page again. — TheLongTone (talk) 12:32, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Fastest delete in the West... — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLongTone (talk • contribs)

RHaworth (talk · contribs) had just deleted the page. However, an Indef block of the page creator may also be necessary, if the page is recreated again with the same content without appropriate citations. Although, recreation is not forbidden only if Ellis.Donnie can cite criminal convictions as suggested by RHaworth on their talk page. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 13:35, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Lol yeah maybe gangster wasn't really the word I should have used. But, since he was a politician and a bootlegger and the owner of several illegal establishments at the same time during Prohibition, I think that that proves that he was a corrupt politician, and it certainly wasn't my intent to create an attack page. — Ellis.Donnie (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:01, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Am not convince that the page was not deliberately created to attack the subject of the article, considering the horrible title, Jimmy Boyd (gangster) and its recreation today after it was deleted yesterday. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 13:35, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Please remember to always date your comments on talk pages. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 13:35, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
  • "Awesome" is a word to which I abreact. When I see it in a bio article it almost almost always means "I am non-notable - please delete this page".
@Wikicology: please try and recognise good faith. Even if you had not seen the Jimmy Boyd bio which told you that the guy died in 1974, you should have been able to guess from Donnie's other edits that this was not a personal attack. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:25, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
Noted. Thanks! Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 16:38, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Mabelina

Mabelina (talk · contribs) is up to her old tricks once again (surprise, surprise). Could you please monitor her editing behaviour as some stronger action regarding her tendentious and tiresome edits will be required if she persists. Thanks, Anglicanus (talk) 01:57, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Anglicanus, why don't you wikify their username? — Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 03:44, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Failure to link to the user is the sort of thing that helps convince her that there is a cabal operating. I am hoping that the retirement claim will prove true but I will continue to watch. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:45, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks. She is still at it with her crappy editing and never learns an effing thing. She just waits until she thinks she can "restore" articles to her problematic versions without anyone noticing. Anglicanus (talk) 23:10, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Gaurav Pandey

Greetings Sir, This is akash, with my username as Trinetraapro. I have tried to create a page of India based politician Gaurav Pandey at Gaurav pandey. As, I am new to wikipedia, i understand i might have made some mistake while creating this page. But, all the information given by me are right and are 1st hand information. I request you to please reconsider the matter for deletion of same page. I shall be thankful to you. Thanks and regards,akashpandit. — Trinetraapro (talk) 05:47, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

  • I note that your Gaurav Pandey is different from Gaurav Pandey whose article was deleted after this AfD. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone who a) has no COI, b) knows the difference between advertising copy and Wikipedia style and c) knows how to put images in articles, thinks the guy is notable and writes about him here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:45, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Badia di Santi Flora e Lucilla

The name Badia di Santi Flora e Lucilla, Arezzo is a wrong name in Italian: Flora and Lucilla are female names, so di Santi (male) is incorrect. Please delete the redirect! -- Epìdosis 16:03, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

  • So why did you not do this edit? Please reply. The redirect at the "di" title is what we call a "plausible redirect". It is totally valid. It redirects people immediately to an article which now shows "della" properly. Also it should not be deleted because it is being visited about three times a day. If you want to something useful and you speak Italian, go to the webmasters of rete.toscana.it and moan at them bitterly about the fact that their abysmal design means it is not possible to link to specific pages on the site. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:45, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Anglicanus

Hi RHaworth - sorry to disturb you but could you just take a quick look at User:Anglicanus? The first thing this Catholic priest from Australia does is to go straight to my edits & revert them wholescale (despite them being correct). And to boot, he can never resist making some snide comment. I know I am no good at MOS but surely the correct info is of value to Wiki? Why on earth doesn't he just get on with his MOS thing but not revert accuracy to being inaccuracy. It doesn't say much for Wiki in areas I don't know about - but this dogma about MOS is most definitely not conveying good info (except where I have amended it of course!). But seriously it is no good that he makes a beeline for me like this, surely? — Mabelina (talk) 23:22, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Apparently User:Mabelina thinks that my being a "priest from Australia" (Anglican Catholic, not Roman Catholic, by the way) is meant to be relevant to something. As for making "snide" comments I don't think it's too difficult to see which of us has perfected this fine literary art (and it ain't me babe). If you edited with some understanding of MOS principles then no one would usually need to revert you. As you don't then it is instead necessary to do so frequently. The problem is yours. — Anglicanus (talk) 23:53, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Can you userfy?

Hi RHaworth, saw you deleted Mike de Kock in 2013, Is there any possibility you could resurrect it to userfy it in my Userspace? The guy is a horse trainer and I believe at this point I should be able to establish adequate notability because he's probably going to be running a horse in the Kentucky Derby. Anyway, I'd like to see what had been created and if there is much I can do with it. Thanks! Montanabw(talk) 23:20, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Follow me to join the secret cabal! Plip!

Excuse me? I've been here for nine years... what do you mean by that "learned about wikilinks" crack? As far as "hardly worth it," I agree that it's turned out to be just a single sentence, but how can I - without access - know that ahead of time? I have seen deleted articles that were quite substantial - no way to know until restored. Minnow slap for unclear snark... But thanks for userfying Montanabw(talk) 07:53, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Urmila Srabanti Kar

It's nice to see that pages in Wikipedia are actively monitored. This page Urmila Srabanti Kar has been deleted 'which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject' according to your point of view.

There are more than 320 million Bengalis in the world and Bengalis are the 4th largest ethnic group in this world (List_of_contemporary_ethnic_groups; sort the table in this page by 'Population (estimate)'). To Bengali people Urmila is a very popular young actress. If you search 'bangla natok urmila' in youtube then you will realise how many people are watching the Bengali Dramas of this actress. There are many wiki pages about people with very small audiences or web visitors.

Before just deleting some page you need to do some research. A small search on Google about Urmila Kar will reveal her popularity in the 4th largest ethnic group in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sencyclo (talk • contribs) 00:58, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

  • No, I should not have to do any research - it is up to you to provide evidence of notability. If she is as popular as you claim then you will have no difficulty creating a proper, well referenced article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:21, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Sheroes

Hello sir! I had uploaded an article called Sheroes.in and it was regarding an online job search portal for women. I put it up and immediately received a warning about the chances of of it getting deleted. I re-edited the content (as I had no intentions to make it sound promotional) and the warning was taken off. But then you deleted the page altogether, I fail to understand why. Please kindly restore the page or guide me briefly as to what has gone wrong.This page is authentic and purely for information and I expect to maintain a neutral, non- promotional tone throughout. If this article can not be undeleted, kindly guide me as to what to do for it to be not taken down. Thankyou sir. Littlegliff (talk) 17:41, 6 April 2015 (UTC) Littlegliffs

KVCB-LP deletion

Hello; reference to KVCB-LP. A high school student tried to enter the basic information for our high school radio station in an article listed above. I have no idea if it was suitable for Wikipedia (I guess it wasn't) but it was basic information -- maybe too basic. It was still listed in the "high school radio" article because we are a high school radio station. The name is linked to no page so a basic page was created. If it's a format issue, please let me know and we'll try to figure it out. If including KVCB-LP is just not suitable for Wikipedia, then so be it :-) Please let me know. Thanks Ralph Martin Hsradioguy (talk) 00:42, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

My User Page Has Deleted

Hello, I have created a company page today (Rise Up Labs) , because I thought it is a international game developer company like Halfbrick. If Hafbrick can exist in Wikipedia, then it may also exist here. But, my question is why my wiki account is deleted? I didn't make any unambiguous advertising for any company. If I did that, it was my first time so mistake could be happen unintentionally. Please re-review my personal page and post, I want to post regularly in Wikipedia.

I am confused about whether this article is deleted or moved? As the subject is in the newspapers at the moment, it seemed important to fill in an entry.

Hello RHaworth. About a month ago you create-protected Ceschi, based on the repeated recreation of a version deleted under the 2007 deletion discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ceschi.

EmDrive

Can you please help me? there is a user who inserted this in the middle of the article lede of the article EmDrive:

The device, its mode of operation, and theories attempting to explain it are all controversial. As of 2015, there are still arguments about whether the EmDrive is genuinely a new propulsion device, or whether its experimental results are simply misinterpretations of spurious effects mixed with experimental errors. The proposed theories of its operation have all been criticized because they seem to violate the conservation of momentum, a fundamental law of physics, though Shawyer asserts that EmDrive does not.

He has no sources to back up this essay of personal feelings other than a link to the EmDrive company faq and when this was proved he used non neutral words like "claimed" and so on he also inserted a dubious infobox 81.235.159.105 (talk) 15:18, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

  • The paragraph has been in place unchallenged for at least three months and I tend to agree with it. Get yourself a user account and discuss the matter on the article's talk page. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:37, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
