Pranic healing

Thanks for salting pranic healing. I'd just like to also point at Arhatic yoga (logs) that was also about the same (and already salted Master Choa Kok Sui and Choa Kok Sui). Thanks, — PaleoNeonate16:16, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

America ReFramed Episodes Page Deletion

Hi RHaworth, The page I created (America ReFramed Episodes) has been deleted due to (A3: Article has no meaningful, substantive content); which was reported to me on my talk page User_talk:User12224. When I first created the page, I had only set it up so I can work on it later. After gaining more insight on Wikipedia policies on article creations, I created a (draft) so it would not be marked for deletion any more. I have added in more information with sources to the article. Would it be possible to restore it? Best, User12224 (talk) 19:35, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

You deleted THE GLOBAL INVEST as A3 about an hour ago. Who submitted it? A draft, Draft:THE GLOBAL INVEST, has just been submitted by User:Minhasaim. I think that there is sockpuppetry. I can't see the history of deleted files. Can you check? I would report User:Minhasaim, but have no idea who the puppeteer is. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:21, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Emoov

Hi, please can you explain your reasoning behind protecting Emoov. I was making changes to adhere with the comments and now I can't access the page at all. — Googly75 (talk) 15:44, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Your page contained fifteen or so horrors such as: London<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London</ref>. They screamed at the reader: this editor has made no attempt to learn anything of Wikipedia standards: it is obvious that they are only here to sell their company. Your placing of your message in the wrong place on this page without an heading confirmed that. As to "reasoning behind", what does the protection log entry say? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:03, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I have studied Wikipedia extensively to try and ensure that it hits standards. It was an attempt to hit internal linking within Wikipedia - a point which had been picked up previously. I think the immediately deletion and full protection was rather harsh as I am only trying to grow my experience by choosing an company that could be internalised links to four other existing articles on Wikipedia. Can you please lower the protection, so that in the future I may be able to return to this article. — Googly75 (talk) 09:26, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

(talk page gnome) It's still possible to improve Draft:Emoov. — PaleoNeonate09:33, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Recently Deleted Page - Neighbor Storage

RHaworth, Recently, on 20 June, 2018 at 19:05 you deleted the page Neighbor Storage. Here is the link to the deletion log to show that you deleted the page. I represent Neighbor in this pursuit to gain access to the text we used to write the article. We understand that the article was originally deleted because it was a recreation of our first page Neighbor (company). Here is a [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neighbor (company) link] to that article for your reference.

We've since learned that we went about creating our company article the wrong way and hope to eventually create an article when we have significant coverage for our company according to the rules. We would be very grateful if you could either email me the text for the page or restore it to user: or draft: space. Anything you can do to help us in this regard would be much appreciated!

Mongolia women's national football team

According to EAFF's meeting, the first preliminary round of 2019 EAFF E-1 Football Championship (women) will be held in Mongolia. As the host, Mongolia will send their women's football team to compete against other women's football team. So can you recover the page of Mongolia women's national football team? — Younis7435 (talk) 05:45, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

User: Amani.jarrar

What's the best thing to do to have information about me. If you don't accept cv format. — Amani.jarrar (talk) 10:58, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Please believe me: any attempt by you to write about yourself here is likely to be rejected: do not waste your time trying. However an article created by following the following advice stands a very good chance of being accepted and sticking. Go to category:Jordanian academics and its sub-categories. Look in the edit history of each article for the creator and anyone who has done extensive edits. You will probably soon spot people who have worked on several articles. Contact these people in turn. One of them is sure to say "yes I think you meet our notability criteria - I will gladly write a bio for you". — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:58, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Article on Pranic Healing

Greetings. Article on pranic healing was deleted on 14th Aug 2018 citing G11- Unambiguous advertising or promotion. The article has been modified and rewritten. Please let me know what are the next steps. With best regards, Srikanth Jois -- SrikanthJoisNagaraja (talk) 11:51, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

  • The next steps are great big strides away from Wikipedia and stay away. But since you have not taken the hint from the eight deletions of the article, you will probably not follow that advice. Go ahead, post it to draft space - it is just possible it might survive for six months before deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:58, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi RHaworth. You deleted to local version of this file per WP:F9, but the file was tagged for speedy by mistake. The file was converted to PD based upon Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 July 27#File:'Bridge' by Kenneth Noland, 1964..jpg as explained at User talk:David Eppstein#File:'Bridge' by Kenneth Noland, 1964..jpg, so it was actually converted to PD as part of a FFD close by Jo-Jo Eumerus. The file was then moved to Commons where it was now currently being discussed for deletion. It’s possible depending upon the outcome of the Commons DR that the local version will need to be changed back to non-free. — Marchjuly (talk) 11:57, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Deleted article Increase Carpenter

You deleted the content of the Increase Carpenter article for a copy right vio, the content was copied from Battle of Long Island, Nathaniel Woodhull, Prisoners of war in the American Revolutionary War and other ref. I was working on the cites, would you kindly restore access to the article so that it can be sourced? — CaptJayRuffins (talk) 00:49, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Learn to create a link when you talk about an article. Restored - why should you have to paraphrase "Increase Carpenter is buried in Prospect Cemetery, on the campus of York College, in Jamaica, Queens". It is a sentence which you could have created yourself without ever having seen the article at Weebly. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:32, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

It would be nice to know what did it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Immortalenigma7 (talkcontribs) 02:12, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Your use of the word website says it all - Wikipedia is not a free host. Text emailed - we do not want to see it anywhere near Wikipedia in future. Hint: when you do publish it somewhere else be aware that a solid block of text is hopelessly off putting. Have you never thought of using paragraphs? Section headings? Photographs? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:32, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:TTC colour so existing Template:TTC color can be moved there == Sorry... maybe I'm missing something but:

  1. My understanding is that if someone disagrees with a speedy deletion, it gets contested, not reverted.
  2. This has nothing to do with how common "color" vs. "colour" is within the English language in general... the template is about a Canadian agency based wholly in Canada; in Canada, colour is spelled with a "u", so per WP:TITLEVAR, the article should be titled "Template:TTC colour". This would be like if someone was wanting to rename a hypothetical "Labor unions in Canada" article to "Labour unions in Canada"; that is, a no-brainer. The TTC itself would refer to the word as "colour". This case is the very definition of an article having strong national ties to a particular country and, thus, that country's spelling should be used.

So what am I missing? — Joeyconnick (talk) 06:39, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

TTC colo(u)r template

The template {{TTC colour}} (and its talk page) should be named {{TTC color}} because the family of {{S-line}} templates require it for proper functioning. If you take at look at the colo(u)r templates for UK railways, you will see that although stand-alone ones are spelled with a “u”, the others that are used with {{S-line}} have the American (i.e. html) spelling. Please revert the moves, as this is a matter of proper coding, not linguistic nationalism and Canadian pride. — Useddenim (talk) 15:02, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

@Useddenim: okay, that's completely my fault, then, not RHaworth's, as I put the whole thing in motion and argued MOS:TIES. I think ideally {{S-line}} should handle both spellings but obviously that's a problem for another day. Although... quick sanity check of some of the TTC pages and I'm not seeing any issues. What is it breaking, exactly? —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:54, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

@Joeyconnick: I see that Template:TTC colour had had a redirect created from the move, but Template talk:TTC colour and Template:TTC colour/doc didn't…
Bottom line: the template should be at color and redirects (if any) at colour. Useddenim (talk) 19:05, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

So... what's missing is that the subsidiary pages (the Talk and doc ones) weren't redirected? And otherwise everything works fine? I may be wrong but it's possible the Talk page was blank, which would explain why it was deleted rather than redirected. Similarly, if the documentation now refers to the Canadian spelling, not sure that needs a redirect. I am all for ensuring things work as being more important than how a template name is spelled but if things are working whatever the spelling, then I definitely think we stick with {{TTC colour}}. — Joeyconnick (talk) 19:18, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Emotional Speech Blocks Deletion Syndrome

[Title width guide. Delete above here if no further edits - already in archive. If further edits, move below here.]

For earlier parts of this discussion see User_talk:RHaworth/2018 Aug 20#Template:TTC colour

This is Canada - why don't we move it or at least create a redirect at template:TTC couleur?! Nothing is breaking that I have seen but to save {{S-line}} having to go via a redirect every time, the name should use color. Unless Joey objects soon, I shall move {{TTC colour}} back to {{TTC color}}. Another argument comes from Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:TTC colour. There are about 15 templates already using color and the 10 using colour. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:32, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

  • My understanding is that redirects are cheap so not sure that's a good reason to move back. Also don't think the 15-to-10 ratio says much of anything since the main template has "lived" at color for quite a while. I assume "couleur" is tongue in cheek given this is 'en'.wikipedia.org. Again, colour and color are valid spellings of the word in English, so really I think this is the S-lime template's limitation ultimately and if that can be worked around by having {{TTC color}} redirect, I think leaving the template at "colour" is most appropriate. — Joeyconnick (talk) 03:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Your arguments do not move me. Yes, redirects are cheap but in this case the need for a redirect would impose a small but permanent overload on the template rendering software. An overload which is easily avoided by using the right name. Surely you realise that nobody except wiki nerds see the title of this template. Be grateful we have redirects - if we were using HTML we would not have the choice of spelling. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

@RHaworth: Thank you for taking care of this. As a Canadian living in the States I am quite sensitive to the linguistic aspects, but as you note, this was a coding issue. — Useddenim (talk) 20:20, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deleting CC-BY licensed material

Hi RHaworth, you've deleted two articles - Wentworth Mausoleum and Wentworth Memorial Gardens which correctly used attributed CC-BY licensed material. Can you please undelete these? The nominator was either confused about free licenses or didn't bother to read the attribution section. — The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:12, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Nominator more or less acknowledges this. — The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Wentworth Memorial Church, instead of Wentworth Memorial Gardens refers. Point taken re Wentworth Mausoleum. I will review. With thanks. — Rangasyd (talk) 12:36, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Syd, I have emailed you your text because you have done formatting and other work but it still needs more work before I would accept it. I hope you have taken to heart my remark about slovenliness - just because a page has a compatible licence does not mean it is suitable as an encyclopedia article. The entire "heritage listing" section must be zapped - we are not interested in the criteria that the Office of Environment and Heritage apply to enter a building on the register. It is just possible that that section contained a few factoids not contained in the rest of the article. If so, please merge them in at appropriate points. Also I am sure there is extensive merging possible of the History and Description sections. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:42, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

You are not the arbiter of content for all of Wikipedia. We determine things by consensus: if you have an issue with the article content, the talk page is the appropriate place to raise it. As an administrator, you know these things. This is pretty poor behaviour for an administrator - not to mention refusing to correct your error despite admitting it was deleted on incorrect grounds. — The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:15, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy delete

Hi there, thanks for actioning my request and deleting User:Deon/Userboxen. I did leave a note on the page but it wasn't very obvious so you might have missed it - I was hoping just the most recent revision could be undeleted so the personal information I edited out isn't visible in the page history. Since it's not super-secret stuff, I didn't think it warranted Oversight so hopefully you can just restore the revision that I linked to in the note underneath the CSD banner. Cheers! — Deontalk 11:03, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Affle

Hi, This is regarding the deletion of the article titled Affle. I was actively editing it to make it comply with Wikipedia policies. I mentioned the same in the article talk page as well. I was in process of editing it as you deleted it (you can see the same if you check the history of the deleted page - if that is even possible). Would you please consider letting me to continue working on it? I am also willing to submit a more neutral version in draft, eventually. However, I'll really appreciate it if you can consider my request to let me work on this version. — Bhatnagar.S (talk) 11:09, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, you removed my page on the broadband commission targets: here. It's actually licences under CC as is indicated on the page. Would it be possible to revert this? — Bquast (talk) 14:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about that. The targets are used as a benchmark, see e.g. this BBC article https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/technology-44886803 .

Question about article draft deletion

I saw that an article draft I created recently: Draft:The Insurance Emporium was deleted by you with the reasoning G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion.

Draft: Mark Edmundson

Dear RHayworth, I would like to appeal the speedy deletion of my Draft: Mark Edmundson. I am puzzled at the allegation of "unambiguous advertising" since Professor Edmundson is a noted educator, author, and lecturer at a top tier university. My draft entry simply recounts what makes Edmundson notable (his teaching, publishing, and speaking) which I was criticized for not doing by my first reviewer. Only two days ago, two kind Teahouse experts literally rewrote my draft to insure that it was disinterested and neutral. After correcting a couple of errors, I resubmitted only to be told by the next reviewer that I needed to make the corrections previous reviewers advised, which I had done across several drafts. It's as if he was looking at my original draft instead of my latest. I had modeled my entry after that of another academic author, Mark Bauerlein, to insure my draft was acceptable. I am mystified by the "advertising" claim and would ask that you rescind the deletion. Thank you for your time. David Clemens (talk) 20:11, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

  • You lose a great many points for being unable to copy-and-paste my name and for using <h1> headings in the article.
