Just in case anyone wants to talk to me.... Peridon (talk) 20:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rest of this is archived somewhere. There's a nice little bot comes in and tidies up. (Could do with one at home...) A very kind person has organised an archive box that even has a search bar in it. (No beer, though....)

PLEASE ADD MESSAGES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE SO THAT I WILL SEE THEM. I LOOK THERE FIRST. Post at the top and you risk being missed altogether. Thanks. Do put a heading inside == == and sign with ~~~~. If you don't get a reply from me (or one of the stalkers...) within a reasonable time, you've probably not read this. If you have read it and ignored it, it's your own fault. If you haven't read it, READ IT NOW. Another reason to post at the bottom is that if you post at the top and someone else posts at the bottom, I'll see their message, but won't suspect there's another. Up to you. Ignore this if you want. Just don't blame me.


"I deleted infox's talk page for no raisin. I hate grapes." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.5.157.177 (talk) 18:36, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I don't like raisins, but do like grapes. Peridon (talk) 18:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC) I like this message.[reply]

Mops can come in handy

Hi, Peridon! I remember that at my RfA, you joked that you should oppose, because if I became an admin you might have to find another rescuer to help with semi-hopeless articles. But it turns out the mop is a plus; now you can send me a Bat-Signal even if the article in question has been deleted. That X-ray vision comes in handy. 0;-D If you have any other rescuers you collaborate with, maybe they should consider applying for a mop also. --MelanieN (talk) 09:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Always glad to help out (if I can)... just give a holler. Onel5969 TT me 03:55, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Dr JS Rajkumar

Hello I have created a new draft for Dr JS Rajkumar that is a fresh content on my User:Aarvig/DRAFT page. Can you guide me how this page will be published on Wiki and what to do next. Secondly I would like to mention the topic for Dr JS Rajkumar was picked by me randomly to create wiki page. It is not related with any company or person and neither I am paid for this. I would have definitely declared this if I would have taken such service. I am a Wiki user and I want to create more pages so as to contribute in wiki and learn more things. Looking for your reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aarvig (talk • contribs) 05:50, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Band

How can i get a proper wiki page for my band.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alaminrabby0007 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By doing a lot of practice, playing a lot of gigs, and getting really well known. Read the policies I mentioned on your talk page. Until your band can pass WP:BAND, there is no chance. And even then, you need to have the reliable independent sources WP:RS to prove it. Your own site doesn't count, nor do Facebook etc, YouTube etc, reverbnation, last.fm, blogs and forums, wikis, or wordpress pages. Sorry, but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not social media or a free webhost. We have rules that they don't. Good luck, anyway. Some day you may be on here - and probably not worrying about Wikipedia by then. Peridon (talk) 20:29, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Versluis

Hi Peridon. In 2012, you moved the article on Arthur Versluis to User:JEMead/Arthur Versluis. I'd like to restore the page, since I like his publications on western esotericism, and think they're relevant. Which improvements are needed to restore this page? Best regards, Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:44, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NB: I've moved the page into my userspace, to work on it. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 11:49, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It needs more about him, as at present it's mainly a list of books and an academic position. That may be OK in an academic context, but an encyclopaedia needs a bit more. Something about his views on whatever it is he's written about. The referencing needs improvement - in fact, there aren't any that are reliable independent sources WP:RS. A chaired professor usually passes A7, but check out WP:SCHOLAR for academic notability which is the target to aim at. Of course, a pass at WP:BIO would do... Peridon (talk) 13:38, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I already figured so. PS: I bet you ground your coffee yourself. Do you? Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 14:31, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, no. I very rarely drink coffee. Last one was a couple of months ago, provided by a girl with whom I'd just been on a seven mile walk. Coffee with something in it - not cinnamon or chicory. Not hazelnut - I had one of those a couple of months before that. That's about it for this year so far. Don't drink ordinary tea much either. Lemon tea, yes. Wondering now what lemon coffee would be like. Might try coriander... Peridon (talk) 14:44, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


NewSoftwares

Hey Peridon, would you please restore our company's info page on wikipedia? We were just in the process of adding our history and our encryption software information, we have no backlinks on there, it was just to better inform the public about an encryption software company thats been there since 2002.

Please lemme know — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.201.248.82 (talk) 05:34, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please log on before editing, and sign talk page posts with ~~~~ which puts the time stamp and your sig on. Being logged on makes it easier for us to find things you've edited, and stops any impression that you are trying to hide your ID. (People do, doesn't usually help them...). OK. Read WP:CORP about notability for companies, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Wikipedia isn't a directory where anyone can display their wares. We need notability (by our definition) to be shown. After you've read those policies, if you think your company passes, then tell me and I'll put it into your user space for more work. Up to deletion, the article didn't show any particular significance, let alone notability. There are thousands and thousands of software companies - and most won't get articles. Also, please read WP:COI about 'conflict of interest', and if you work for the company, you MUST read WP:TOS. Any editing that is paid for, either as consultant or as employee, must be declared.

Republic of Keig

Hello Peridon, i noticed there has been no wikipedia page about the micronation Republic of Keig. It said for me to contact you before editing it again. I believe it is a creditable and relevant to the subject of micronationalism as it is known worldwide. Thank you.

Alfordloon (talk) 22:04, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't say that, actually. It says I deleted it. You are quite free to re-create it and take your chance with it. However, as I can only see 18 Google hits for "Republic of Keig", and I wouldn't consider any of them to be a 'reliable independent source' (WP:RS), I personally think you'd be wasting your (and our) time. Outside the micronation community, micronations are not generally noticed by anyone unless they are ones with real territory such as Sealand and Hutt River. Ones that only consist of one or two houses (where local taxes are still paid to the local authority, thus negating any real claim to independence) are regarded as fantasy. Up to you. There is no right to have an article, and notability must be proved. Peridon (talk) 10:38, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New unreviewed article

Hi! I created a little stub and this banner's across the top: This page is a new unreviewed article. This template should be removed once the page has been reviewed by someone other than its creator; if necessary the page should be appropriately tagged for cleanup. (September 2015). Do I need to do anything? Or will somebody find the stub, review it, and remove the banner? (Or not). Ta--YoPienso (talk) 09:45, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say just leave it for a bit. Someone will deal with it. (I'd better not do it for assorted reasons, although it looks OK to me...) If no-one does anything in a week, ask someone neutral to look at it. Incidentally, we had a temperature of 5 degrees C one night in August in Worcestershire this 'summer'. Peridon (talk) 10:20, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes! One simply leaves it alone and a patroller comes by. I couldn't find it in any lists of articles awaiting review, so I wondered if I have to click something or what. Nope, just wait for the magic. :)
We've had a rainy summer. We've relocated a bit outside the big city to a little place between the mountains and the sea. We have a post office and a supermarket, but most businesses are 7 miles up the freeway. Lovely! YoPienso (talk) 14:02, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Daily Express is forecasting a 'Killer Winter' for us. On previous form, that will mean snow a couple of times (outside the Highlands), a few frosts, and a couple of days with winds. They might have got it right this time, but normal form here is to expect the opposite of whatever they forecast... Peridon (talk) 14:10, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
LOL! We've had two unseasonably warm winters in a row. And it rained nearly every day in September. YoPienso (talk) 14:15, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Trent Zimmerman

Please reconsider the deletion of this bio. Given the comment in this yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald (below) I'm sure many people will be looking for information on this notable political figure.

"The current NSW Liberal Party president, Trent Zimmerman is the front runner to replace Mr Hockey in the seat of North Sydney, with the moderate faction claiming a strong hold on the numbers in local branches.

No date has been set for a byelection yet but insiders were not ruling out a factional battle over the preselection, with predictions the Right faction would resist Mr Zimmerman taking the plum seat.

Mr Zimmerman is a long time mover and shaker in the so called 'wet' faction of the Liberals both in state executive and behind the scenes. He has worked for Mr Hockey as a staffer and is currently a senior policy adviser at the lobby group, Tourism and Transport Forum (TTF). He is openly gay and is the current state president of the party."

Castlemate (talk) 22:53, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

While I can't stop you re-creating the article, I advise against it as I don't think that that passes WP:POLITICIAN. To have an article, a candidate must have notability outside the election. If we didn't insist on this, we'd be inundated by articles about people that stood in elections as we then couldn't refuse Fred Bloggs (Free Mars Bars for Pensioners Party), Camillo Beruzzi (No Anchovies in Pizzas Party), Gloria Glama (Letsava Party), and so on. (Could be amusing, but not what an encyclopaedia is for. It isn't a place for promotion, and promotion is just what elections are about.) Personally, I have no interest in this election (whenever it is to be), and also couldn't care whether he's gay or not, black, white or purple, or whatever. I didn't delete it - it was deleted by consensus. Unless your new version is substantially different, it could be deleted under G4 (article previously deleted at AfD). If it doesn't show that he passes WP:POLITICIAN, or [[WP:BIO] on matters unconnected to the election, it will just go back to AfD. All this applies to each and every political candidate, not just your chap. We get quite a lot as different people learn the hard way about how Wikipedia works...

User:Princeslyconagbesi

FYI: I've started an SPI for this user as they are doing the exact same thing at User:Prince Agbesi. It's here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Princeslyconagbesi --| Uncle Milty | talk | 17:10, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. JS Rajkumar

Hi Thank you for your guidance Peridon and User talk:Onel5969 I have added a few more references for the said draft page Dr. JS Rajkumar.

So please go though the draft page User:Aarvig/DRAFT once again and please help us to make the page live. Aarvig (talk) 12:00, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Need Help for Dr JS Rajkumar Page

Hello Peridon, It would be very grateful and helpful for me if you guide me for creation of page I discussed with you or how to proceed further.
