(512) Brewery

I reviewed your reasons for deletion and respectfully disagree. If you look at Jester King's wiki page, another Austin-based craft brewer, you will notice I used their simple page as a template. (512) Brewery is a very popular brand of beer in Texas and should have a wiki page, just as other small breweries do, as well as be included on the category list of Texas breweries. Please restore the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blacksunseven (talk • contribs)

Please pay more attention

Roger, please exercise some basic due diligence when deleting things rather than just actioning every CSD tag you come across. User:HJ Mitchell/Main Page firstly isn't anywhere near CSD U5; secondly, you should talk to long-term editors before deleting pages in their userpace; and third, the CSD tag was added as a drive-by edit from an IP—that really ought to raise an eyebrow and make you wonder whether the deletion is in anybody's best interests. — HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:22, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

I wish to bring to your attention that HJM not only removed the CSD tag himself, but also threatened to block the tagger (me). (See User talk:43.224.156.79). He rollbacked me when I reinstated the tag, which is also an abuse of the Rollback tool (WP:Rollback makes it clear that it should only be used for reverting blatant vandalism). In what is an overwhelmingly clear abuse of admin tools, HJM protected the page to prevent me from adding back the tag, rather than seeking WP:DR. — 43.224.156.66 (talk) 18:18, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Your deletion of User:MaudeG3/sandbox was wrong—you do realize that Wikipedia articles are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License and the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 license, don't you? As such, it is impossible to have an "unambiguous copyright violation" of an article, particularly one that is at AFD and which the user was presumably saving to make some edits to. Please restore that page. Also, while I fully agree with you that it doesn't matter who placed the tag, someone randomly tagging users' userpages for deletion should be investigated more closely (HJ's page doesn't meet U5 by any stretch). The block-evading IP here is also just trolling, as is evidenced by tagging experienced users' pages for deletion, making silly "banned" claims, and marking redirects to the main page for speedy deletion. This user is obviously someone rather experienced with Wikipedia editing while logged out so sanctions and blocks don't affect his main account. Cheers! Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:45, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
Whaddhaya mean by 'I don't talk to IP addresses'? All IP addresses are humans. I am no exception. I am not bothered about that page being deleted or not. MfD nominations of that type generally don't succeed. But I'm bothered about people like HJ Mitchell and Reaper Eternal abusing their tools. RE couldn't bring himself to replying to me on that IP talk page so he removed talk page access. The reason: Inappropriate use of talk page while blocked. I used my talk for only two purposes: (i) replying to HJM and (ii) making an unlock request. If any of them constitutes "inappropriate use" what is the point of even allowing talk access in the first place? — 43.224.156.66 (talk) 08:19, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Roger, as Reaper says, the IP is messing us around. This has nothing to do with improving Wikipedia, they're just having a laugh, and they clearly know their way around better than the humble infrequent IP editor they're pretending to be. As to the matter at hand, I presume you've actually read WP:U5? I'm sure you're at least that diligent, but I'll copy it here just in case: "Pages in userspace consisting of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals, where the owner has made few or no edits outside of user pages [...] and résumé-style pages." My page is clearly related to Wikipedia (unless you think the main page isn't related to Wikipedia?), so that disqualifies it from U5 at even the slightest glance; I'd expect an admin to be able to tell that while drunk and half asleep with half an eye open at 3am. And I'm an admin with some 76k edits, >95% outside of my userspace, so that also disqualifies it. As to the purpose of the page, I created it for a fringe event in the run-up to last year's Wikimania to explain how the different sections of the main page work; you could have just asked me that in the first place. — HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:33, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Messing us around? If you don't want to be "messed around", please follow these steps: go to Special:Export and download a copy of each one of the 32 million pages here on enwiki. Now, import all these XML files to your own wiki (since it is your own wiki, you must be having importupload rights there). That's it. Now you can edit, delete, protect, move or do whatever with these pages any way you want. Nobody will come to mess you around there. 43.224.156.66 (talk) 17:40, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
@HJ Mitchell and Reaper Eternal: Since a few experienced editors have raised a concern that I am here only for trolling, I have just made a series of what I believe are perfectly legitimate CSD nominations. Most of these are drafts. And if you are curious about how I found out these pages, just go to Special:AllPages/Draft:, you'll be surprised by the number of pages that are clear-cut CSD candidates. (Since I've looked at most of the suspicious titles listed on the front page, you will not find many bad drafts there, but just click on the next page button). 43.224.156.66 (talk) 18:53, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

InFoTED

International Forum for Teacher Educator Development (InFoTED). Please advise why this page was speedily deleted - it's an educational establishment based on membership from notable international universities and teachers. If deletion was necessary how can the page be improved to suggest significance? Best wishes. -- Davidawells (talk) 07:32, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks the organisation is notable and writes about it here. Obviously a total lack of independent evidence of notability had some influence on my deletion decision. If you really must try again, I suggest you find a sponsor. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:41, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

West Indian Ocean Cable Company

I have written an article on WIOCC that you have contested for speedy deleteion. I dont understand where I went wrong and I tried to follow all the guidelines. Please advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgif10 (talk • contribs)

Just a quick head's up, I declined your CSD nomination of this article and added a source containing basic facts. I wouldn't object to AfD as I haven't a clue whether it's notable or not - the trouble with African technology articles is they tend not to have the same level of online sources that Western countries have.

Mabelina yet again (sigh!)

User:Mabelina has once again resumed her disruptive editing of numerous articles with her usual problems. In particular she is still adding the Burke's Peerage website homepage both as a faux citation and as an external link to the Egerton Leigh (priest) article. Anglicanus (talk) 07:34, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Sylvester Rivers

Dear Mr. Haworth, regarding Sylvester Rivers: please restore the Sylvester Rivers page that you deleted today. Yesterday I sent wiki a message explaining why Sylvester River's page should not be deleted because there is no copyright infringement. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter, If you have any questions please contact me. — Lbamusic (talk) 22:11, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Team PNEC-NUST

Hi, I'm currently dealing with an OTRS request regarding this page that was deleted. A request has been made for the article to be restored. I have advised the customer that this is not nessecarily possible. Would you be ale to advise if the content is suitable to be reintroduced as a draft for them to work on to improve until they can show it meets the criteria for inclusion. Amortias (T)(C) 16:30, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

  • "Globally acclaimed for its remarkable performance" in the first sentence is not a good start! Please tell the requester that Wikipedia matters should be discussed on Wikipedia discussion pages and that if a copy of the deleted text is wanted then Farrukhaqil (talk · contribs) or someone will have to enable their "email this user" facility. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:26, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Ok that seems quite reasonable, it sounds like it is promotional just after reading that line. Thanks for the reply. Amortias (T)(C) 21:33, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Ukrainian Association of Washington State

Hi RHaworth, I was actually working on this article while you deleted it. I wonder what's the purpose of "in use" template then?.. I think I can simply created again with my new content, correct? In addition, I am having difficulties with uploading the logo for the organization. It can't go to Commons, and it needs to be uploaded locally. How long do I have to wait until I can do it? Thanks, 凰兰时罗 (talk) 19:38, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I have -- thanks. 凰兰时罗 (talk) 21:01, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Rock Eupora article

I was wondering why you deleted my wikipedia post on Rock Eupora. It's my indie rock project and is not in violation with anything. Go to the official website at www.rockeupora.com to find out more. Also, if you google it, you will find that there is plenty of relevant information including press, album reviews, and links to many music platforms including iTunes and Spotify.

Hybrid Nuclear Fusion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Hybrid Nuclear Fusion. Since you had some involvement with the Hybrid Nuclear Fusion redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. — Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:20, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

IZArc

IZArc is a very good and powerful compression software i have used for many years (roughly a decade). Recently (some time since 2010) malware was added to the installer. I remember the wikipedia article for IZArc not being terrible and was hoping to find out which version added the malware, only to find out you deleted the article. Whats going on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.250.35 (talk) 13:06, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Please also restore the talk page. By the way, the article had 200 revisions, had existed since 2005 and is far from G11. What the hell were you doing? 103.6.156.167 (talk) 09:39, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Albanny Technologies

Good Day Sir, I write in response to an article i wrote titled Albanny Technologies which A tag was placed on and later got deleted, citing section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, i wish to state here that Albanny Technologies has played a pivotal role in today's ICT Development in Nigeria, which has earned the Company's recognition by the Government of Nigeria. i also wish to admit my mistake that i didn't provide much information as regards why the subject is important or significant.in the light of this, i wish to humbly plead to retrieve the deleted material for further improvement and future reference. and also which to tender my unreserved apology for that blunder i committed. i hope and believe that my appeal will be given fair hearing and kind considerations. thanks in Anticipation, Mikebilz (talk) 19:27, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Their website is so littered with spelling and grammar errors, I thought it might be an hoax. Even their name looks like a mis-spelling. If you genuinely have no COI and can actually find evidence of notability, re-submit via AfC. If you want your text, read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:02, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Bizarre history merge

I was scouring through your contribution history and move log when I noticed something very strange. On 28 March, you seem to have history merged a user talk page into the article Snatcher. I suppose you are aware that pages should be histmerged only if they have non-overlapping edit history (WP:PV)? Your action has seriously messed up rev history of Snatcher. With this edit, ClueBot (an anti-vandal bot!) appears to be blanking an article and replacing it with a user warning. Please undo your histmerge. This is just madness. Anyone looking at the edithistory of the article would be left extremely confused. Also, user talk pages aren't supposed to be deleted, or merged into an article!

Per my careful observations, here are the edits which came from the UTP, these should be sent back to where they came from: 2 by ClueBot on 10 February 2010, all 4 by DASHBot, 2 by 207.235.29.182, the talk page owner, 1 by HalfShadow, the second (i.e more recent) edit by TedderBot, 1 by Hammersoft, and the 3 by SD0001.

Notes:

  1. Per this diff and this diff, it is clear that Vlame's edit was to the article, not the UTP.
  2. Per this diff and this diff, it is clear that TJ Spyke's edit was also to the article not the UTP.
  3. TedderBot's first edit was to the article, and the second to the UTP.
