User talk:Deb

Coming here to ask why I deleted your article? Read this page first...

If that doesn't help, read these FAQs.

1. Why did you delete my page when I hadn't finished writing it?

Answer: Don't create new articles unless you are sure they meet wikipedia's criteria, particularly notability and verifiability. If you want to practice, there is the sandbox facility and Wikipedia:Articles for creation where you can get a second opinion from a more experienced contributor. And if you really can't help yourself, use {{underconstruction}} so other people will know you are still working on it.

2. Why did you delete my page for advertising? I wasn't trying to advertise!

Answer: Read Wikipedia:NPOV for guidance on how to word an article so that it doesn't sound like an advertisement.

3. Why did you delete my page for advertising? It was about a non-profit organisation!

Answer: Non-profit organisations advertise all the time - it's still promotion and the rule applies to them just as it does to commercial bodies. See no 2 above.

4. Why did you delete my article without warning?

Answer: Because you are not entitled to a warning if you don't follow the guidelines. See no 1 above.

5. Why didn't you do a google search and find references for my article and put them in for me instead of just deleting it?

Answer: Because I don't have time to do the boring bits for you. I have enough boring bits of my own to work on, thank you.

6. You have a very interesting view of neutrality. The authors you give credence to have a definite point of view and you discount those that disagree.

And please SIGN YOUR POSTS, otherwise I don't know who is asking me the question!

Please don't waste your time trying to steal my wikipedia ID. Mr 101.191.142.18 in Sydney, Australia, is just one of many who have tried and failed to do this because it didn't occur to them that the new password would be sent to my e-mail address, not theirs. Mr 82.132.222.214 in London is another.

Nissan UConnect

Deb, I am trying to assemble information on all of the computer systems that are in all cars. I was hoping to get input from Wikipedians in this endeavor. I do not work for any car company. I am evaluating them all. In fact, I work for the Center for Distracted Driving at the University of Utah. Your deletion of this article undermines my efforts to assemble all of this data. Would it be better to assemble one article about ALL car systems? Why is it that there can be an article on the Toyota Prius, but not on the computer systems inside of the Toyota Prius? Is it not noteworthy?

Please advise. This information deserves to be on Wikipedia in some form. I need input from people who may own these cars and have used these systems to get the information correct. There is lots of this sort of information on Wikipedia, but it is incomplete and I am attempting to fill in the gaps. Other articles haven't been deleted only because they don't have the name of the company in the title, but fill exactly the same role. Kellycoinguy (talk) 19:53, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, is there any way to retrieve the text you deleted? Kellycoinguy (talk) 19:56, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I can see that at least part of my problem is that I used Kellycoinguy rather than my old user name KellyCoinGuy and gave the impression that I was a total newbie. Apologies, I hope to get a response at KellyCoinGuy. As an example of a similar article that HASN'T been deleted, there is MyFord Touch KellyCoinGuy (talk) 20:49, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Heinlein Society

Deb, I've been a Wikipedia editor since 2005. I've got barnstars. I was the coordinator of Intellipedia's Featured Article for over two years. I'm very familiar with notability guidelines. Please don't delete The Heinlein Society while I'm still working on it. Thanks for your advice about sandboxes and under construction flags. I'll use a sandbox. Now I wish you could send me the wikitext that I created. I've lost time due to this zealous deletion, but I will AGF. BonnyDoonBoy (talk) 16:12, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Undid recent contribution(s), but which ones?

Hi Deb, you just wrote a me a note stating that you had undone one or more of my recent contributions because they appeared to be promotional. I am surprised because I have not contributed anything since January, and this only after having gone back and forth with various editors to make sure that my entry was acceptable. I really felt that I had cut out everything that was not an objective fact and that could be backed up by the various objective sources that were cited. Unfortunately, you make no mention or give any kind of indication which entries or passages you "undid", so it is very difficult to get any kind of feel for the areas where you are passing judgement. 9 months after my last edit, I do not know exactly what my original wording was, or if the contributions that you undid were important enough to try to reword to your satisfaction. Is there any way you can give me a clue to what, specifically, you changed? Thanks.

Deleted Page - 2008_Visual_Collaborative_Miami_Exhibition_(Pop-up)

Hello Deb

With respect to the difficult jobs volunteer admins do, the reason behind the deletion was vague and far from constructive. This article was not spam. it was well sourced with sufficient references. We appreciate a review of it contents or a restore. We are confident no wiki policies were violated. thanks for your prompt attention on this. It does take time putting one together and can appreciate a mature dialogue with your suggestions or acknowledge on what perhaps is a delete mistake. Blessings. - Mnanonymous

No one has suggested it was spam. There were two references, neither of which was independent. Your use of "we" suggests that more than one person is contributing under your username. This is contrary to wikipedia policy. Deb (talk) 19:06, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb,

I believe that the CoderDojo movement is of global significance and request that the page be unlocked so that people can recreate it. As a founder of the movement, which is a charity, I promise I will not edit the page or cause others to put content I control on there as I do understand the wikipedia rules and respect them deeply. I can say that thousands and thousands of people world wide are or have been involved and even a short search in Google will return you numerous independent media articles about CoderDojo. Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated I am sure that there will be enough people willing to contribute once the lock down is removed. My two sons who attend CoderDojo are also keen to contribute without my influence - Bill Liao Co-Founder CoderDojo.

I have no recollection of this article or of deleting or protecting it. However, at the moment it's reading like a blatant advert and needs to be cleaned up PDQ if you don't want it deleted (again?). Deb (talk) 08:30, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb, Thank you for replying about the CoderDojo page, I can see you have to deal with a lot of issues and don't have much time. I have removed the Philosophy section from the page as this seems to be the most noticeable non-neutral content. I hope this change is sufficient from your perspective as a moderator, if not I hope you can find the time to post a short note here. The CoderDojo movement has parallels with Football clubs, and each of the some 600 'Dojos' can be very proud of their own brand and at times may be over-zealous in their use of non-neutral language, it may be necessary for us to deal with the many different clubs in a similar fashion to List of association football clubs. - Lindsay MacVean (sometime CoderDojo volunteer) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lindsaymacvean (talk • contribs) 05:21, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted page - French Operations Research & Decision Support Society

I find it really rude that you deleted the French Operations Research society without any prior warning. The society is one of the largest Operations Research (OR) societies in Europe, and OR is a well established and recognized academic field. There have been some discussions going on about similar pages for other countries, that ended up being kept. So I don't understand the hurry in deleting this one. Please clarify (and read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/German_Operations_Research_Society first). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bfortz (talk • contribs) 20:00, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How dumb are you guys when we post sum thing unless the sheep people believe it you delet it, HYETECH superchargers is a real company I was doing research on. Check then out or call them Hyetechsuperchargers.com so don't delete posters when thry are real, HYETECH is a leading manufacturer and the products they supply have never been done before by any other company so how can we write this so it's won't be deleted if it's the truth.

Deleted page - Lexinnova Technologies

Hi, you just deleted the page Lexinnova Technologies. I do not believe any of the content on the page was promotional. Also I believe it met the notability criteria. LexInnova and its insights have been published in several leading journals and several other notable sources.

Please let me know if there are any modifications that can be made to make sure that it meets all the criteria. Please not that several of our competitors are already listed on wikipedia with a similar number of sources.

I can provide additional sources if needed.

Request your cooperation in the matter. Thank you. Nasir at Lexinnova (talk) 14:08, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unsigned post

Hi Deb, You deleted a page I was editing under the pretense that it was an advertisement, but from my perspective it's simply a means of informing the public about what the program is in action to do (help educate people who arent getting a full masters degree) and how this program affects the ever-changing business market. If that is an advertisement then wouldn't havard's page be an advertisement? As well as any band/musician page? They both tell the history of their topics, as I was doing on mine, as well as the affects they have on the ever-changing cultures they are associated with. I mentioned where it was started because that's the history of the program. I mentioned how the certificates are becoming more accepted so people can see how the educational system and business executive growth models are both changing and how this kind of program may become more and more prevalent, giving way to more optional learning that gives similar lessons to graduate degrees, but not be the entire program a master's or doctorate takes. If talking about that program is an advertisement, any business described on wiki would also fall under that same category, would it not? I'm not at all angry, or trying to be rude. I just have to be very honest about the way I perceive the post I was working hard on and how your labelling it as an advertisement should not be a double standard. If that program cannot get its information posted on wikipedia because it's a program that's specific to a school, or a certain demographic, none of the businesses, musicians, non-profits, etc... should have that right then. It just feels like a double standard and with all due respect, I disagree with it being deleted for the reason that it was. Id appreciate if you would respond with rebuttals to my points here, as I believe them to be legitimate points. If you disagree, i respect that and look forward to learning why, but wikipedia is an information hub that covers many specific topics, businesses included. The standard should be the same for all of those topics, no? Thank you for your time. Sorry for rambling. I do get passionate when I feel smaller parties are being censored for an unjust reason, but this is in no way personal and I mean you no disrespect as a person, so please take this as a friendly, spirited debate post.

Hi Dev,

I would like to improve my page based on your comments. You are requested to again put my page back so that i can work on the same.

August 2015 - Edit warring / Richmond Pharmacology

Hi Deb, Jytdog, All - I apologize for the lack of communication, I have being trying to gain a clearer understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I am the marketing manager for Richmond Pharmacology and our recent edits to the page created by JzG, were done in good faith. We felt the original content was intended to put the company in bad light following recent legal proceedings with the HRA. Our reasons for recent edits made are as follows:

1. The omission of academic research is unreasonable, as its factual and referenced. Therefore it is a removal of relevant and factual information presumably motivated by the malicious intent to smear the organisation.

2. The reference to Metro provided does not support that Richmond pays up to £2,000 therefore this a pure fabrication by the Wikipedia contributor. The article asks the question whether £2,000 are enough to be a guinea pig and Richmond Pharmacology is mentioned there.

3. The Dhaliwal case is misrepresented as the reference clearly states the borderline nature; a far cry from “won” which suggests that she was awarded damages. The case is irrelevant to the entry and not reflective of the organisation. It has presumably been added by JzG out of malicious intent to lower the reputation of the organisation and its officers.

All the text provided in our recent edits is factual and to the point and unlike previous editions are well referenced. We welcome new additions so long as they are balanced. We also welcome your recommendation on how to improve the content so that it is completely neutral and complies with your COI policy.

~~Please kindly advise how we can resolve this amicably.~~

NEW BEACON SCHOOL

New Beacon School.

Deb, I would be interested to know if you have any connection with New Beacon School, paid or otherwise. I would like to be sure that all bias is transparent in this article in which the sexual abuse of a minor is mentioned. I would like an explanation as to why and how Wiki is being used to continue the cover up of this sexual abuse case. Having read Guy Hamilton's note about editing, I have now reviewed the edits and it appears that you are the source writer and that you have made alterations to factually correct and well referenced edits. Is it also the case that you have semi protected this site? I would like to understand why you have apparently taken this stance against a victim of child sexual abuse, in favour of the public relations of the school. I refer particularly to the used of the word "claims", as noted below.

The Controversy section refers to the alleged cover up of sexual abuse of a boy at the school. The site has now been semi protected. This

This section is biased in that it is stated that the Seveonaoks Chronicle "claims"....... The word "claims" should be replaced with the word reported. The Newspaper made no claims, merely reported the proven facts. The word "claims" is a piece of blatant spin used by the author to minimise public perception of the schools behaviour in response to the award of by Criminial Injuries Compensation Authority in respect of sexual abuse of one of its pupils.

The word claimed is also used in respect of the perpetrator having been previously suspended. Again, the newspaper made no claims. It reported the facts. The words claimed should be changed to the word reported.

In the first sentence, the same "spin" technique is is used....."....a former pupil who claimed...." The use of the word claim implies doubt. The school has written to the child saying that did not doubt his testimony, but is saying another thing publicly. The sentence should be changed to "....a former pupil disclosed".

The page should not be an advertisement and public relations platform for the New Beacon School. It should be open to editing. Otherwise Wiki is being used by the school to protect its reputation in the very serious matter of the sexual abuse of children.

Kindly explain why the article has been edited in a way which repeats the schools one sided and misleading comments made in the press (for which the school has apologised) and is potentially damaging to the victim. Johnobrienuk (talk) 10:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnobrienuk (talk • contribs)

To edictor Johnobrienuk -- I doubt that editor Deb has any connection to the school, though they should answer on their own. Would you please discuss the content of the article at its Talk page? To editor Deb I have been contacted also. I see that you have semi-protected the page and have been involved in back-and-forth editing for some time, perhaps protecting the page in another way. But what I don't understand is why there is no discussion at the Talk page. There's no sifting of any evidence. No consideration of balance of coverage. My first edits at the page and its Talk page might be seen as being on the whitewashing side, because I am looking for sources. But offhand I must say there's merit in Johnobrienuk's pointing to apology made by the school as being significant, IMO. That was in the article and now is not, if I understand correctly. My impression is that Johnobrienuk is a relatively new editor and does not see any proper example of Talk page discussion. Just looking at the one article, if I were a new editor I would think the way to proceed is to lobby on the side and to believe that is how things get done here. To both of you, please discuss specific items of content at the Talk page for a while, I request of you. Then eventually we can get around to discussing refinements of general tone when there is a properly sourced article with some consensus built up from discussion, hopefully. sincerely, --do ncr am 08:13, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since they have been existing, I had modeled this page accordingly, which was purely writted with a NPOV as Wiki says! paritoshsharma (talk) 10:34, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid it wasn't. But I've done some work to remove the promotional content. If you see any other examples of articles with promotional content, please tag them accordingly so we can work on improving them also. Deb (talk) 10:36, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the help Deb. I would really like to work with you to understand where exactly am I going wrong in building this page. I am 100% for maintaining the sanctity of Wikipedia, though existing pages from the payments industry are misleading. Some of them don't even have proper citations, but still exist, which is blatant advertising.

I appreciate your inputs to help me improve my first effort. This way I will be a solid contributor to Wikipedia henceforth. paritoshsharma (talk) 13:59, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Welsh-speaking royals

Hi Deb, I was curious to see you'd created Category:Welsh-speaking royals. Do either Charles or William actually speak good (or much) Welsh, or do they simply read pre-prepared translations etc.?? Sionk (talk) 15:46, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The bunch of em ned to start speaking English first! _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 15:50, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Charles spent a term at Aberystwyth University in order to learn Welsh, prior to his investiture, and both he and William have made speeches in Welsh. I'm not saying their Welsh is perfect but it's probably better than mine! Charles was previously in the "Welsh-speaking people" category - one of the many who got "disappeared" by the monoglots. Deb (talk) 21:29, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And William?? As for Charles, no doubt the term studying Welsh history and language would have given him a reasonable awareness of the language, and something approaching correct pronounciation, but I doubt his 1969 speech was anything more than reading off a pre-prepared script. Ah well, I guess I've got bigger tastier fish to fry than nominating the category for deletion, but other people might raise an eyebrow. Sionk (talk) 18:26, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Curries Online Page Deletion??

Hi Deb, apologies if I have broken any guidelines of Wikipedia but I'm a new contributor so still finding my feet, so to speak... (I'm not even sure if this is the correct place to ask you a question?!?)

I was just after some clarification on why you deleted my article on Curriesonline.co.uk and Kukd.com merger and the history of the 2 companies?

If you could please let me know the reasons, I would be more than happy to re-write the article with the required specifications added and/or removed.

Your page move

I am not sure if your page move from Controversies of Fifty Shades of Grey to Critical response to Fifty Shades of Grey is appropriate, since the article is wholly negative. I split this from Fifty Shades of Grey since the section was WP:UNDUE compared to other parts of the article. Perhaps Criticism of Fifty Shades of Grey would be a more appropriate title? Also, would such a negative article in fact be inappropriate? Thanks! sst^flyer 10:32, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb

I was writing an article about Hexagol which is a brand new 6-sided hexagonal cage for training kids how to play football. It wasn't meant to be promotional, it's just a thing we invented a few years ago. Totally unique and I was just creating a page for it because it is a thing! It is there, kids do learn how to play football and other sports with Hexagol and why it isn't in Wikipedia is beyond me. I'm quite a new user though have loved wikipedia for years but I don't understand why Hexagol (brand new word and concept invented by me) can't be described on the site?

DiaGenic

Hi. Please review your deletion of DiaGenic. I looked through the history of the page and it had better versions than the last one.

Rettetast (talk) 20:57, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Meh. You do not address the fact that it did not meet the criteria for 'speedy deletion. The first version of the article was not promotional at all and was created by a well respected editor with hundred of articles created. If you do not object I am going to undelete it. And please make sure you actually use the criteria at WP:CSD before using the tools you are trusted. Process is important. Rettetast (talk) 00:30, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Viking Life-Saving Equipment

Viking Life-Saving Equipment:

I don't tend to add frivolous articles. Many of the articles about non-English-speaking countries are quite unrepresented but important, as these types of things get 'passed over' by people (most people) who do not speak that language. Very few people speak Danish. The closest many people have come to conversing in a Scandinavian language is by listening to the Swedish Chef on The Muppets. Have you ever been to Scandinavia? Not many people have.

I have gathered that around 2,000 people work for this company - quite a lot for a firm that makes inflatable boats. It has sites all over the world, including a few in the UK, notably Aberdeen. Many North Sea oil rigs will have their equipment, for obvious reasons. I don't think many other firms do what it does. It's one of those industries, like Martin Baker ejection seats, where one firm has most of the business. I think you pulled the ejection handle too early. There may be competitors in the USA, but unlikely any in Europe. DinosaursLoveExistence (talk) 14:25, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed I have been to Denmark, Sweden and Finland (Denmark and Sweden three times each) but I don't think that is the point. You described the company as "a world leader" and it seems you have no evidence for that other than the company's own promotional literature. It seems very difficult to find independent references for them. You are familiar with the policy on verifiability. I don't contest the company's notability but I will restore the article only in order to give you time to make the necessary improvements. Deb (talk) 14:46, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Page

Eh, I take back what I said on my Talk page. You're one of the wikipedia article nazis too. Going around deleting articles without any consideration to the time and effort the writer has put into it, or attempts to actually comply with Wikipedias ToS, Policies, and Guidelines. Instead of helping writers, with any attempt to improve Wikipedia, or making suggestions on where articles could be improved, you delete them, because quite frankly, you all have a power trip, and feel that your decision, is the only and right decision. Instead of actually trying to make an article that is relevant, on a subject that people care about, or a trend that is growing in a particular space... if it's something you aren't familiar with, just delete it. I could point you to 10 articles right now that seem to be promotional, or ambiguous --- why do they not get deleted? Because someone in the Wikipedia secret society approved it? I'm sorry, but it's wrong how you treat new writers, and it's one of the largest flaws of this site. Cthood (talk) 15:31, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you don't like that I actually took the trouble to tell you that I'd deleted your article and why? Okay, fine, carry on the way you are - you'll find you'll soon be blocked if you throw around insults like that. Deb (talk) 15:50, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, you deleted it without giving me the opportunity to solve the issue. I had no opportunity to respond to your why. The real shame in this "community" of legitimate "contributors" is that it's your way, or no way. Why there isn't a process by which to resolve issues before they are arbitrarily deleted is appalling. Cthood (talk) 16:32, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate Your Response

Deb, thank you for helpful response after the speedy deletion of a page I was working on. Your response made perfect sense. My intention is not advertising or soapbox-ing, and I am fully aware and appreciative of Wikipedia's charter. Per your suggestion, I re-read the Welcome Page which notes that "Wikipedia is allowed to be imperfect," as we all are, and my imperfection this morning is that I did not fully understand that Wikipedia's verbatim advice to "Add the template Draft article, //Draft article//, at the top of the draft (not the talk page)" in order to create a draft was not 100% accurate. My intention is to edit what I had previously written to meet all of Wikipedia's guidelines and your review, as well. Towards that end, I would ask for a second chance. Since I am not sure who has the authority to provide second chances, I have separately asked User:3 of Diamonds, who flagged the entry for speedy deletion, to assist me by restoring the page into a proper draft mode with the caveat that he or she may review the final entry, and I request the same of you with a similar offer to judge, not in haste, but after I have completed the entry. Thank you again for your help on this, and I am sorry for the trouble. Happy new year to you, by the way! IntegrityPen (talk) 17:54, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
