== Thank you so much for your approval! ==

Dear Peter,

Thank you so much for your approval to keep the article. I know that this is not the entry of a famous composer or anything, but I really do appreciate your help. [[User:Y onishi|YO]] ([[User talk:Y onishi|talk]]) 17:44, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

== Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research help==
I recently asked for a semi-protect for [[Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research]]. It is due to [[User:Bushmills2000]], who continues to re-insert a "Controversies" section that violates NPOV, RS, and OR. Basically, this is a school that has screwed over some employees (once of whome was Bushmills, it seems), and the disgrunteled employees have posted some blogs about the matter. The blogs, of course, don't work as sources for Wikipedia, and there aren't any reliable sources for anything in the "Controversies" section, so I removed it quite some time ago. I explained this to Bushmills in my first post on his [[User_talk:Bushmills2000|talk page]], after the first time he re-added the material. He continued to re-add it, however, and has shown no interest in discussing this. Additionally, he has now broken 3RR. I'm hesitant to change the page again (3RR for myself), but this is unsourced, original research, possibly conflict of intrest (not to mention potentially libelous) material which should be removed from the article. Additionally, and this goes back much further than the current situation, the discussion page for the article seems incredibly inappropriate, mostly full of personal attacks and discussion about the school itself, and very little about the article - should it be cleaned up, and if so, how? Thanks for your help with this. [[User:Otebig|Otebig]] ([[User talk:Otebig|talk]]) 19:43, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
:This is still an on-going situation - now he is removing sources from the article. I've put up warnings on his talk page, to which he responds by calling me a "creep". I've never asked for a block before (and am not sure how to do it), but that this point [[User:Bushmills2000]] is being only disruptive. It is clear he has no interest in learning about Wikipedia policies or discussing the matter. Something needs to be done here.

== Question ==

Do you think that you could possibly leave any comments for me at my admin coaching page at [[User:Razorflame/Admin Coaching]] please? It would be very helpful. Cheers, [[User:Razorflame|<b style="color:#6cf">Raz</b><b style="color:#6cc">or</b>]][[User talk:Razorflame|<b style="color:#6c9">fl</b><b style="color:#6c6">am</b><b style="color:#6c3">e</b>]] 14:41, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

:I don't really have much to offer you. I will give one bit of advice (perhaps a cliché, but one I happen to respect): Don't work for the sake of adminship; if you do good work, it'll eventually come. Something else that comes up sometimes are coachees rushing their coaches, or getting the sudden urge to run to RfA without the coach's knowledge or nomination. Just take it easy, and give it as long as it needs. Adminship shouldn't be a goal, after all, and while I know it has been seen as such, don't get into that mindset here (the community is much less tolerant of that mindset than elsewhere). Good luck with your coaching. Best, <font face="Arial"> [[User:PeterSymonds|<font color="#02e">Peter</font><font color="#02b"><b>Symonds</b></font>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:PeterSymonds|<font color="#02e">talk</font>]])</font> 15:04, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

::Thank you for your advice! I will be sure to not rush my coach/coaches and I will definitely take it much easier on here than on other Wikipedias. All of the work that I do, I do for the Wikipedia, not for the goal of adminship. Cheers, and wish me luck!

== [[Clandestine industries]] ==

Hi - I note you've removed the speedy deletion tag from this page with edit commentary "speedy declined - no evidence of previous XfD discussion". While this is strictly true, there is a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clandestine Industries]] which I suspect is the same page with different capitalisation (as "Clandestine Industries" is protected against re-creation. So can it not be speedily deleted as recreation of deleted material? <span style="border-top: 1px solid #cc3300; border-left: 1px solid #cc3300; padding: 4px">[[User:Pablomismo|pablo&nbsp;]]</span>:<sub>:&nbsp;<span style="border-bottom: 1px solid #cc3300; border-right: 1px solid #cc3300; padding: 0px; background: #ffff00; color: #cc3300;">&nbsp;...&nbsp;[[User_talk:Pablomismo|hablo]]&nbsp;...</span></sub> 16:37, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Blocking and moving ==

A few days ago you blocked [[Total Drama Island]]. I was wondering if you could block [[Total Drama Action]] as many anonymous users are vandalizing it. I was also wondering if you could look at [[List of characters from Total Drama Island]] and see if you think it should be moved to something like ''List of characters from the Total Drama Series''. I did but it was reverted as it was undiscussed. Lastly, I was wondering do I have or will I ever have the power to protect or delete articles? Sorry for asking so much! Thanks!!!-[[User:TDI19|TDI19]] ([[User talk:TDI19|talk]]) 00:54, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:In order:
*{{RFPP|s|1 week}}
*The page could perhaps do with a move, but it would require discussion. See [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]] for instructions about how to open one. There begins a consensus-building process to decide on an appropriate new name (if any).
*The ability to block, protect and delete are restricted to [[WP:ADMIN|administrators]], who are elected by the community at [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship]].
*Fourthly, no problem. :) I'm happy to help. Feel free to ask anything if you're unsure about it.

==Raymond Aaron==
Dear Peter ...

I am horrified that my "Raymond Aaron" page has been deleted. I see that "Blatant Advertising" was the reason. I really did not intend to do that. I can see that the section called "Services Offered" is the offending section. Please allow me to have my page without that offending section. I really was not intending to advertise. I was just carried away, adding different pieces of information, and I see that I went too far. It was my very first article. I'm sorry.

Can you reinstate it without that offending section? Or can you reinstate it and I will immediately delete that section.

I spent so many hours refining it and making it complete and it seems a pity to lose all that work.

Please tell me the correct protocol for reinstatement. I hope you understand that I am not a bad person and I was not attempting to do anything bad. I was just carried away a bit. Sorry.

Raymond Aaron

== I am very sorry that I broke the "blatant advertising" rule ==

Dear Peter ...

I just wrote you an apology, a few moments ago, but I did not notice the subject line. So, I have entered a subject line in this message to you. I just wanted to repeat that I am really horrified that I broke a Wikipedia rule. I really do want a wikipedia presence and have no desire to skirt the rules in any way. Please allow my article to be reinstated without the offending section of blatant advertising.

I do not know the exact protocol. But, please allow my reinstatement.

Raymond

== All but one correction has been made ==

Dear Peter ...

I have completed the task of eliminating all "blatant advertising" and in doing so I realized how many of them there were. Sorry. You were totally right.

I have read the sections you told me to read and have complied (as far as I can tell).

Finally, the header information did not seem available for editing. So, there is one change right up at the beginning that I still need to make. Specifically, the offending sentence is ...

He is listed on page 1 of the Canadian Who’s Who [1] for his lifetime of achievement.

and, I wish it to read ...

He is listed in the Canadian Who’s Who [1].

Can you make this change before reinstating? Or, shall I make it myself as soon as it is reinstated? I dearly wish to comply.

== I am having difficulty creating a new article ==

Dear Peter ...

I am on the Board of The Transformational Leadership Council. We have decided to have a separate article on Wikipedia, instead of having reference to it under Jack Canfield, the founder.

Every time I tried to create a TLC article, I kept getting directed to Canfield's article.

So, I deleted all reference to TLC from Canfield's article and still I keep getting directed to Canfield.

Once I mis=typed "Transformation Leadership Council" and now I cannot delete it.

This is quite frustrating.

Would you please ...

1. Delete "Transformation Leadership Council" or else tell me how I can do it.
2. Would you please tell me how to create a "Transformational Leadership Council" article.

I greatly appreciate your help.

== Transformational Leadership Council ... difficulties ==

Dear Peter ...

I have been authorized by The Transformational Leadership Council to post an article. But, every time I attempt to do so, I get shown Jack Canfield's article. He was the founder of TLC. But, I have deleted all reference to TLC in his article so that I can post a whole new article for TLC. Yet, even though all references have been deleted, I still get sent to his page when I attempt to create a new article.

This is frustrating.

How can I create a new article for Transformational Leadership Council?

== Turn blocked "nuke the fridge" article into redirect. ==

Hi,

You deleted the article [[Nuke the fridge]] and prevented recreation. However a new article [[Nuking the fridge]] has been created, to which [[Nuke the fridge]] is an obvious redirect. Therefore, would it be possible for you to recreate the page as a redirect, and then lock it?

Alternatively, you may decide that the [[Nuking the fridge]] article is an attempt to circumvent the deletion of the [[Nuke the fridge]] article. (I would probably agree with this.) However, even if is the case, there is an obvious contradiction between an article existing under one name, and it being blocked under another name.

←I fired a large warning shot on hos talk page and ripped a lot of spam and POV stuff out of the article and some of the other articles. I have seen evidence of restraint, though I think it and the related articles are very advert-like. I think we still need to keep an eye.

Hello, I am RAYMOND AARON. I am doing my best to be a good Wikipedia contributor. I listened carefully to Peter's comments and obeyed them. I have done my best to delete all opinions and all "blatant advertising". I am proud to have a Wikipedia article and I do intend to obey all rules. You have requested CITATIONS for my athletic achievements. Some of them occurred before computers and really there is no online record. This pertains to my marathons and my ultramarathon and my caving and alpine club. I do have a photograph of riding my 5-foot-tall "giraffe" unicycle and I have posted that as proof that I can ride it. However, I will never be able to provide CITATIONS for achievements that occurred before computers began recording information online. I would really appreciate your removing the CITATION REQUESTS for those athletic achievements for which there is no independent verification.

==[[:File:Rosy.jpeg]]==

I believe this image was deleted on an incorrect basis. The request by [[User:Madeofstars|Madeofstars]] was per [[Wikipedia:CSD#G7]]: "Author requests deletion, if requested in good faith". As I understand it, this criterion is a discretionary one, not mandatory. The image was in use in three articles and as it is a historic image (i.e. from 2003) it is not replacable. The user put it in article space, when it was first uploaded on 6 December 2008.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stella_Vine&diff=256262378&oldid=256261178] Furthermore, on 17 December 2008, he reinstated it after a deletion of the image was reversed.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stella_Vine&diff=258583315&oldid=258570344]

Two months later, he decides he wants it deleted, but has not given any reason why this should happen. The file upload page[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-ownwork&wpUploadDescription={{Information%0A|Description=%0A|Source=I%20created%20this%20work%20entirely%20by%20myself.%0A|Date=%0A|Author=%7E%7E%7E%0A|other_versions=%0A}}] under step 2 "free license" says in bold, "This release is not revocable." The norm is that we do not allow material, once released under a free licence, to be removed. This is especially the case when it is incorporated into articles.

I am not asking for the image to be undeleted, as it is already on Commons, so would need to be deleted for that reason anyway. The user does not seem to have realised this, as the new name for the image had not been put in the article to replace the old one (I have now done this). However, I request that you inform the uploader [[User:Madeofstars|Madeofstars]] that this was the only legitimate reason for its deletion, and that he has given a licence that the upload page clearly states "is not revocable", so he should not normally expect such deletion requests to be met.

'''''[[User:Tyrenius|<font color="#880088">Ty</font>]]''''' 03:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

:Yes I'm aware of the irrevocable licenses (I've dealt with several at Commons), but the G7 could've been for any reason. Most G7 images I've seen are for uploading under different names, so I generally fulfil them. However, it might be better to ask the intent of deletion before deleting next time, so I'll do that in future. Thanks, <font face="Arial"> [[User:PeterSymonds|<font color="#02e">Peter</font><font color="#02b"><b>Symonds</b></font>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:PeterSymonds|<font color="#02e">talk</font>]])</font> 09:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

== I reverted the [[Fact]] page ==

Hi Peter, I reverted the page because of a long list of what appeared to be trivia added. It wasn't sourced, and I wasn't going to track down the individual items. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fact&oldid=269324849 This] was the version I reverted, and it looks like it may be a well meaning very new user who is editing, so I didn't create his talk page or anything. When you have a moment, could you look at it and advise me on any different measures I should have taken. Thanks [[User:Ched Davis|— Ched]] ([[User talk:Ched Davis|talk]]) 14:04, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:Slight change - I did leave him a welcome template [[User:Ched Davis|— Ched]] ([[User talk:Ched Davis|talk]]) 15:16, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

::You did absolutely fine, Ched. Most new users aren't quite aware of the project scope, so will add long lists of trivial facts, unsourced information, etc. The best thing to do is do exactly what you did: revert and explain. I know when I was a new user, I created articles with "redirects" to external sites, but I gradually learned I shouldn't do that sort of thing. :) That said, I don't think it's necessary to give long and detailed lists of policies, because it often means little. Learning by experience is the best thing for new users, in my opinion. Keep up the good work! :) <font face="Arial"> [[User:PeterSymonds|<font color="#02e">Peter</font><font color="#02b"><b>Symonds</b></font>]]&nbsp;([[User talk:PeterSymonds|<font color="#02e">talk</font>]])</font> 19:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

;<big>From the Judges</big>
We're still going strong. Couple of things though; please note that you must make it known you are in the WikiCup when nominating FAs, FLs, FPos, FPs, and FSs. This is to lower the possibility of bias. We're also changing the way you get to the next round. Now, the top ''two'' from each round get through, along with '''ten wildcards'''. This means that even if you're not in the top two you can still get into Round 2, so even if you're in the [[group of death]] you can still go through. Hopefully this will be fairer for all. We've also unfortunately had our first withdrawal - {{flagicon|El Salvador}} [[User:Truco|Truco]] has left the Cup. Best wishes for him in the future.

I posted somebody for vandalism. You noticed that there weren't any warnings. The reason is because I'm not interested in giving out warnings. I just brought that user to the attention of administrators. Should I have done that on another page? Anyway, if you want to take care of it, there's [[Special:Contributions/92.12.36.59]] also, apart from the [[Special:Contributions/4.88.20.100]] I mentioned there.

== TOTALLY CLEANED "RAYMOND AARON" ==

Dear Peter ...

I read your communication with Fiddle Faddle and I am doing my best to comply.

I have just revised the article again deleting every single objection you could possibly have. I have deleted ALL my athletic accomplishments (except Polar Race since you did not object to that as it has a citation).

I even deleted reference to my own website www.Aaron.com even though you did not object to that.

There is nothing left to do. It seems to me it is totally clean.

Would you PLEASE remove the objectionable notice at the top of my page about COI? Please.

:Excellent work. I'll go and read it now. By the way, on talk pages, you can click the "edit" button on the section you originally started, and indent your post using <tt>:</tt>.

== International Talent Support ==

Dear Peter,

ITS is an organization and one of the most renowned platform for young creativity, we have a large press coverage from international press, see our press page http://www.itsweb.org/jsp/en/presstype/type_1_edition_5.jsp and I think it can be an informative page for who is looking for opportunities for young talents and anyway we are not taking space from others or creating fake or just adv pages.

If you think it can work I will try to write the text with a more encyclopedic style.
Thanks

Umm, I'm actually kind of glad you semi-protected the dwts season 8 page, but I'm confused. It says in the wiki policy that semi-protected pages can only be edited by users who have autoconfirmed their accounts.
Well, uhh, I autoconfirmed my account, and I still can't edit the page when logged in.
