Speedy Deletion

I contested the speedy deletion tag that was put on a page I created about a band called Truth and Rites, and then edited the entry to further explain the band's significance. Why was it then deleted? FiremanIntern (talk) 20:05, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FiremanIntern: Because nothing on the page indicated that the band was significant. —C.Fred (talk) 20:10, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The page talked about other famous artists who the band has been featured on albums and played concerts with. Does that not count as significance? FiremanIntern (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@FiremanIntern: No, although the festival is close. See WP:NBAND for a list of things that do count. Also, remember that there need to be independent reliable sources to back up the claims. At the time of deletion, the article had no independent sources. —C.Fred (talk) 20:27, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Image?

Hi Fred,

You have deleted my updated image on Ashley Massaro's Wikipedia page for copyright violation. However, I have the request of Ashley Massaro for the change as well as the approval of the photographer as well. I can include proof if needed. Also, the image alone is used for the biography of Ashley Massaro and is acceptable under the 'Editorial use' and is NOT used to raise money, sell something, advertise, or promote in which would require a 'Commercial Use' approval.

I also had posted this concern on another 'Talk' page of yours as well.

Nat Pipitone (talk) 22:39, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Nat Pipitone: The photographer or owner of the image must contact Wikimedia Commons directly and verify that the image has been placed under a free license. Further, images used in the infobox of a biography of a living person must be under a free license. A license for non-commercial use is not sufficient, because even though Wikipedia is not directly a commercial use, other derivative works of Wikipedia may be deemed commercial use. —C.Fred (talk) 23:41, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further, if you're editing at the direction or request of Massaro, you have a conflict of interest. Depending on the exact nature of your relationship with Massaro, you may also need to complete the paid-editor disclosures. —C.Fred (talk) 23:42, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Updates made are being undone when they should not be

I made a correct pronunciation addition to the Awassi page and twice it has been removed with no replacement.

I am not a Awassi Breeder, I do not own a single one. I do happen to have a client who is and who has been breeding these sheep for many years and is Australia's foremost breeder. If the pronunciation is incorrect then correct it, not just remove it. The corect pronunciation, verified by many many native Arabic speaking Awassi Sheep Breeders is Ahh-wassi (pausing on the A to give the Ahh sound, followed by a fast wassi. Whomever is changing this as incorrect I challenge to provide evidence of the incorrect pronunciation. I also cited Di Piggott (My name is Iain Bayly) and referenced her correctly. MasterWebsite.design (talk) 02:29, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MasterWebsite.design: You did not cite an independent source in your edits. We need a verifiable published pronunciation for the edit. The link you added is to a website you are creating, so that is not a permissible source; Wikipedia is not a repository for original research. —C.Fred (talk) 02:34, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thank you for the page review, C.Fred! I have another article under AfD and it would be great if you could have a look and provide your two cents. Thank you again. Climate7298 (talk) 04:12, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pantheon-Sorbonne

The IP user with disruptive editing whose edits you already reversed several times (for example is back. Now he’s trying to change the history section in a non neutral way. Could something be done? --Launebee (talk) 15:12, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oops

I didn't see that JeffersonSteelflex44 had been reported to AIV, and you had declined to block him. Monster Trucks (film) is on my watchlist, and I blocked him as a vandalism-only account after I saw the repeated vandalism there. Maybe I jumped the gun. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:04, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NinjaRobotPirate: It's a judgment call, like ejecting a baseball player. Some umpires have a slow trigger, some have a faster one. :) No worries. —C.Fred (talk) 00:12, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of My Page on MairouTV

Please view the comment on the now deleted MairouTV page that I made. You've now deleted it despite not having read my retort, which is extremely disrespectful. If possible, find, read, and then copy and paste my retort as a response to this so I can see that you read it. It's awful that you deleted the page without even hearing me out. I went over the many many ways the page obeyed the rules you presented, in fact it exceeded every rule many times over. VinnytotheK2 (talk) 01:13, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As of the time of me writing this, you've still yet to respond, despite definite online status. Let me remind you, you are required to obtain for me the information requests, my retort posted on the MairouTV Wikipedia page. As stated here, "If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator." VinnytotheK2 (talk) 03:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@VinnytotheK2: This was the first I saw of a request by you to have the material restored to draft space. —C.Fred (talk) 03:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Question

May I please ask you why my information was taken down? I know everything x2 (talk) 02:30, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@I know everything x2: Because you didn't supply a reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 03:09, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

editing talk page

as I mentioned, it is being reverted before I can make these changes or add citations. I will try to post on talk page as you suggest but on previous experince with the reversions there is a vested interest in mis-informing this particular article who is reverting without discussing it. the reverted article is largely about 15 years out of date and many of the citations which are in the reverted version refer to artists who have since changed their musical style. anyway, I will try the talk page as you suggest cheers artykmbandmaster
