Thanks for the review and the kind comments on my admin review page. :) Yes, I do remember briefly opposing your RfA, and remember being convinced to change to support (which I am so glad I did), as well as regretting opposing anyway (I remember my apology too). You did play a huge role in me becoming an admin, and I will never forget everything you did for me. Thank you for your continued support and confidence: it really means a lot to me (oh, and as of the last 4th July, it was my fourth admin anniversary!). Best.

Trevor Sharpe Speedy Deletion Questions

[edit]

Sorry I'm a relatively new user, and I have a question. a couple minutes (seconds?) ago I found in the "Recent Changes" a new topic that was made which turned out to simply be vandalism, so I at first just deleted all the text, but after realizing that didn't get rid of the topic I looked up the wikipedia rules on how to delete a topic and found the header that was to be placed for a "speedy deletion", which apparently worked, as you deleted it. Now my question is: Did I carry out that request for a deletion correctly? Soloman212 + tortoise (talk) 4:21 pm, Today (UTC−5) 16:10, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dispositio Achillea

[edit]

Your deletion of Dispositio Achillea seems to have been a mistake. Neither of the reasons for deletions given appears to be applicable. It is not a dictionary definition of anything (making it a candidate for Wiktionary) or the original text of a source (making it a candidate for Wikisource) but an article about a mediaeval document of obvious historical significance. Nor was it in a foreign language: the Google cache shows that it was in English. I don't personally care for machine-translations, if that was an issue, but this does not appear to have been one, at least not in its final state.

I suggest that you undelete it. If you were to apologize to the user who made the translation from the German, User talk:HansM, it would probably not go unappreciated. --Hegvald (talk) 10:31, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Scid and IPBE

[edit]

Hello Anthony. I'm somewhat confused about your actions regarding the user linked above. I'd taken a look at their situation earlier today with Checkuser, and while the IP address they've recently been using is blocked, it is an anonymous only block that should not be affecting them. IP Block Exemptions are only given on an as-needed basis, so I'm not sure why you chose to grant one after I noted that on the user's talk page. I haven't removed the flag, but I was hoping to get a reply from the user to pinpoint what the problem was - it should not be a block. Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:53, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Softgenetics

[edit]

Hello, I would like to know why my Softgenetics page was deleted, given that I have already estabished notability by linking 3 independent papers on Softgenetics products (with their names in the very titles!) on the ncbi website. If ncbi papers don't establish validity, I don't know what does. Although the page was sparse, I was going to add more information. Please respond with what makes proper notability, or I will recreate the page. Given that it was up for only 1 day, I feel that not enough discussion (not at all really) went into the deletion of this article. --Pyrogen53 (talk) 15:06, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed; the other admin was also poked, and after inspecting the article has admitted he was mistaken. The G6 deletion was pretty much fine; deletion of a redirect to a non-main namespace has its own heading, but fits under that fine. Ironholds (talk) 11:19, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Falling In Reverse: Deletion Review

[edit]

A new article on a band is up for deletion review here: Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2011_August_5#Falling_In_Reverse|.

Rajeev Mohan

[edit]

Hi Anthony, I wrote my first article on 'Rajeev Mohan' and it was deleted citing A7 and G8. 'Rajeev Mohan' is an Indian actor. There is a Wikipedia link about his latest movie 'Moksha (2011 film)' in which he is cast as the male lead. I was in the process of editing but it was deleted after my second edit.

Hi Anthony, Thanks for your reply. The whole process seems complicated and very technical. But from what i understand, I'll put the 'Rajeev Mohan' page as a sub-page. And keep adding inputs.

Small dispute

[edit]

Hello, Anthony. The reason I am here is because I am in a little dispute with one of my adoptees, User:Ace10000. He has refused to come back editing because I reverted two of his article edits as good faith. On this talkpage diff, [1], he gives me a rather violent message threatening to make one of his websites bigger than Wikipedia(?) and forgot to sign. So, I thought I'd get an uninvolved admin to come and have a look. WP:THREAT may be at stake here so I thought it best to get someone. Also, it would be a real shame if he got blocked because my previous adoptee vanished and I wouldn't like another one going. Please help soon, Rcsprinter (talk) 14:59, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of /a:t/BrE

[edit]

I noticed you have deleted the page for /a:t/BrE because it refers to a 'company'. This was and still is a performance art group, and we registered it as a company, in a sarcastic gesture: Performance Art has always been considered something resisting commodification and the logic of the market. We registered it to show that it risks such a danger. What we are doing is much more similar to an NGO than a company and it is not fair to be treated as one! We made this wikipage to record part of the history of newly emerging contemporary art of Iran. Performance Art Company is a contradiction in terms, nobody lives by being a performance artist, particularly in Iran. As an art group, I think we deserve to have a wiki-page: a glance at our previous events and achievements reflected in our website will prove this. This can be a great chance for artists marginalized by the crazy regulations of Iranian government, to somehow record their art history! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Behpoor (talk • contribs) 20:27, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

why have you deleted my page?: Understanding Managed futures: There was no promotion, it was objective and well referenced and linked.

Cyrrhus, etc

[edit]

I’m almost annoyed.
Having spent a fair amount of time trying to sort out the RM here, I was pretty hacked off on finding that it had been moved again, without so much as a by-your-leave; I’m also annoyed that when I queried it, that was ignored too, and the page moves continued regardless.
Anyway, you can read more about it here. Moonraker12 (talk) 21:42, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough; I came across it today, when the talk page was being moved (and was tagged for CSD). I didn’t notice that you’d already moved the article til later. If what you saw was tagged as uncontroversial, then whoever tagged it is at fault: Where the page was was as a result of the RM, so a further move should have been discussed; it could hardly be described as uncontroversial. I think if a move from Cyrrhus, Syria is desired, then whoever wants it needs to make a case, not just presume it’s OK. Moonraker12 (talk) 22:05, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Tricky: it feels disruptive to say move them back, but if you don’t mind doing that, I’ll put a section on the talk page inviting a discussion, and let it work itself out from there. If there’s a good reason for another move, fair enough, but I don’t like the high-handedness of what’s happened today. Moonraker12 (talk) 22:20, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just to follow on; there's been a response at the ANI and it's getting discussd there, so I'm content to leave it at that. But thank you for your responses, Moonraker12 (talk) 12:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Specialicious Speedy Block Appeal

[edit]

I am appealing the deletion of the “Specialicious” page, deleted on November 8, 2011, on the grounds of meeting the G11 and A7 Criteria for Speedy Deletion. I will hereby state the following reasons why “Specialicious” should be unblocked so that the page may be restored, without instigating future reasons for speedy deletion and without violating any of the rules and restrictions set forth by Wikipedia’s administrators:

1. In regards to “Criteria for speedy deletion: A7—No indication of importance,” I plan to indicate in detail why the subject in question (company—Specialicious.com) is significant, and the claim’s credibility will be clear and noticeable to readers. The “Specialicious” page will be informative on many levels; it will contain a detailed account of the company’s history, developments and recent changes within the business model, geographic markets which the company serves, past and current competitors, financial history and a list of credible references.

2. In regards to “Criteria for speedy deletion: G11—Unambiguous advertising or promotion,” I plan to completely rewrite the “Specialicious” page in a fundamental manner so that the page can become encyclopedic. In recreating the “Specialicious” page, a neutral point of view will be maintained throughout, and we will avoid overly abundant links and references to autobiographical sources. The page will no longer be exclusively promotional; rather, the page will serve as an educational resource for employees, potential interns and employees, competitors, businesses, clients and customers to find information regarding our mission, history, business model, products, funding and external links.

3. In addition to future adherence to the rules and regulations set forth by Wikipedia’s administrators, I would like to add to this appeal that the original content of the “Specialicious” page was written with insufficient research of Wikipedia’s Criteria for Speedy Deletion and failed to include a detailed account of the subject matter’s history and industrial significance. In recreating the “Specialicious”oldid=119293587#Adminship. my apology] too). You did play a huge role in me becoming an admin, and I will never forget everything you did for me. Thank you for your continued support and confidence: it really means a lot to me (oh, and as of the last 4th July, it was my fourth admin anniversary!). Best.

Adapted military service

[edit]
===== Regarding : 16:47, 7 December 2011 Anthony Bradbury (talk | contribs) deleted "Adapted military service" ‎ (A1: Not enough context to identify article's subject) =====

Dear Anthony, I'm sorry for this deletion, if my page creation (Adapted military service) was unappropriate. The creation of this page was led by three reasons :

  1. Someone requested the translation on the discussion page of the french article (see the link to see the translation request)
  2. I thought I was the suitable person to provide the translation since I work for the Adapted military service (Paris headquarters)
  3. Actually, I was given the order by the Brigadier general commanding the Adapted military service, who wanted to see how the unit was described on Wikipedia and asked me how to create the english article, and link the french article to the english article. I just obeyed the order.

I'm sorry if my action was unappropriate and would like to ask you what would make this article acceptable : is it a matter of proper categorizing or providing a different writing style ? Respecting the rules and guidelines would help me to fulfill the general's request in cumpliance with the level of quality expected for Wikipedia articles. In advance, I thank you for your help. Best regards, Nairolf FR (talk) 18:52, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BoogaLouie

[edit]

I decided to go with just clearing the autoblock because, while the BoogaLouie account has been trouble-free for quite some time, that has not always been the case.

Perspicacity

[edit]

The deletion log indicates that you‎ deleted this article for reason (A5: Article that has already been transwikied to another project). This action seems improper in that

  1. The article was not a dictionary definition. Iirc, it was a WP:STUB - a proper start upon an article.
  2. No transwiki action has been taken in respect of it
  3. No author information has been preserved
  4. The author - myself - was not notified

Please restore this article so that I may continue to work upon it, if further expansion seems required. Warden (talk) 23:54, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Links to WikiProjects on Wikipedia page

[edit]

Quicklinks to WikiProjects(Wiktionary, WikiNews etc) are needed on Wikipedia and vice-versa, in the header or on the left-margin column. Please consider including these to the existing links for the convenience of users navigation from one project to another. Rockin291 (talk) 15:11, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Editor for 5 years and Admin for 4 years, that's impressive. And sir, I didn't mean to say that you needed it but sometimes when users need to quickly navigate from Wikipedia to Wiktionary for instance (either editing something or reading articles) it will be convenient to have TransWiki links, what are your thoughts on this? Rockin291 (talk) 05:48, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I'm mistaken but do correct me if I am; what I was trying to say is that the side bar of default Wikipedia page for any user or non-user should contain links to sister-projects, so that it would be easier to navigate, and that you, sir, being an administrator can modify existing templates for the sidebar to include these links you know, so that the links appears for all who access Wikipedia and sister-project articles and pages.

Please be more careful processing speedy deletions

[edit]

You deleted Matru ki bijlee ka mandola as A7, even though it named a famous director and two famous actors as leads in the movie. Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 02:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wholeheartedly disagree. A7, by its own text, only applies to individuals, animals, organizations, and web content. This is none of those. Even if A7 covered movies (which it doesn't), that would be better for a prod (and even a prod was declined on this article--recreated using different capitalizaion--by another user). A forthcoming film starring famous actors is not something so uncontroversial that it should be deleted without a discussion or a chance for improvement. Calliopejen1 (talk) 21:44, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So you believe that A7 applies to movies, despite its text? I also found two more inappropriate deletions, one of a dormitory and one of a skatepark, that you have deleted under A7 inappropriately in the last two days. Unless something is an individual, animal, organization, or web content, it does not qualify for A7. Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:21, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hahaha I don't think Harvard Law School really qualifies me for this.... I'd just tag these sorts of articles for prod instead, and they will be gone soon enough. (I actually think the movie might be able to withstand a PROD, but that's beside the point. Generally if there's a really bad article I'll just prod it.) I think it's better to do a prod so the article creator doesn't get burned instantly (though I'm not really sure prod is that much better) and so there's a window to improve the article. Speedy deletion is only for junk in certain categories that occur in such volume that it wouldn't be possible to go through those processes...

Yeah, I noticed it on Levi Leipheimer, who is due to ride for the team in 2012. The pages themselves should not be up for deletion but I did notice that they were in the category. Basically, it should only be this page that should be deleted, which should hopefully free up this other page to move into OPQ. Hope I cleared that one up.

Seamus (dog)

[edit]

I strongly disagree with the speedy deletion of the article on 'Seamus (dog)', which was owned by Mitt Romney, and was the subject of a controversial 1983 road trip. There have been hundreds of news articles in the last couples of weeks refering to Seamus, and there were hundred of news articles in 2008 refering to Seamus. The article was written according to Wikipedia's standards.

Speedy deletion under the A7 clause in designed for people and entities which have no significance whatsoever. It is not meant for article which may be controversial but have any possible degree of significance. While people may argue about the notability of such an article, it clearly does not meet the A7 deletionstandard listed below.

"An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization (for example, a band, club, or company, not including educational institutions),[5] or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability. This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works. This criterion does not apply to species of animals, only to individual animal(s). The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines.[6] The criterion does apply if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible. If the claim's credibility is unclear, you can improve the article yourself, propose deletion, or list the article at articles for deletion."

Seamus (dog) Deletion review

Deletion review for Seamus (dog)

[edit]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Seamus (dog). Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Although I understand your line of thought that Seamus, Mitt Romney's dog is not significant except in context of a single incident in 1983, I don't think that other Wikipedia articles have followed that rule. There is an article for Mary Jo Kopechne, a secretary killed in a car accident of US Senator Edward Kennedy, even though she has no historic significance outside of that accident.

MSU Interview

[edit]

Dear Anthony,


My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.


So a few things about the interviews:

  • Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
  • Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
  • All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
  • All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
  • The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.


Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 15:34, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Caroline Bass

[edit]

Can you please restore the page you deleted on Caroline Bass ? Caroline is a well known real estate agent in NYC who has appeared on TV. She has been interviewed by Bloomberg News, AE Open Forum, The Daily News and this year made Forbes 30 Under 30. One of her famous clients is Tim Gunn, who dressed her on Tim Gunns Guide To Style then subsequently bought his new home from her. I regret starting the page and leaving it unattended for so long. Will have more references available online for article building in coming weeks and would love input on how to improve what I had there.

Edit: Looking again, it seems some of my edits were removed before you removed the whole thing because a source I cited became a broken link.

Altetendekrabbe's and your threats to my editing.

[edit]

Hi. You've seen my post and reacted sharply to my wording. But you failed to see his edit summary of 14:20, 10 March 2012‎ on the Article "Ahmadiyya". It says and I quote "provide a neutral and reliable source or get banned". Let also quote his response to my edit:

The Andhra Pradesh Wakf Board took a series of unprecedented decisions on February 18,2012. Probably first time in its history, the State Wakf Board has asked the Qazis in the state not to perform Nikah (marriage)of those belonging to Ahmadiyya community because they are “not Muslims.” While the Indian state has always hesitated in declaring its stand as far as the distinction between Muslims and Ahmadiyyas is concerned, the decision marks the first ever such official approval of the popular boycott of Ahmadiyyas by the Muslim community in India.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.siasat.com/english/news/don%E2%80%99t-perform-nikaah-qadiyanis-ap-wakf-board-qazis | title=Don’t perform nikaah of Qadiyanis: AP Wakf board to Qazis |publisher=Siasat Urdu Daily, Hyderabad | author=Courtesy: Two Circles | date=February 20, 2012 | accessdate=March 10,2012}}</ref>

Is this edit not referenced? Where is the flaw? I guess your role as an admin is not to just ban/ block users but more importantly to explain the fallacy and improve the quality of Wikipedia. If so, please explain your point of view. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 11:47, 11 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Clarification : I take back my words which may suggest that you have some support for Altetendekrabbe. I've seen how this user has reported against me and I fully understand your admin role in controlling the way things have messed up. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 13:05, 11 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]
You've merely commented on my reference of the beliefs of this user. What about this user's persistent reverts to my edits and threatening a block on me despite he being a non-admin? What is the flaw in the source I've cited? Is it not neutral? Please explain and intervene on the matter. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 08:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]
My dear Anthony Bradbury, you have merely restated your stand. But the fundamental issue is that can a non-admin simply threaten (or warn) other user about being banned or blocked when his edits have been properly referenced? If so, you are inviting a very chaotic situation where any user can hurl abuses or warn/ threaten other user unnecessarily and get away with it.

I'm not "following you around", and I never stated your block was bad, or your "findings were in error". The only reason I noticed the editor was blocked was because someone with that ip made an edit to an article I have watchlisted. All I did was ask which edits were disruptive, and then it occurred to me to check that talk page.--Rockfang (talk) 23:03, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of The Empire Of Novaar

[edit]

Hello there, I would like to contest the deletion of the page "Empire Of Novaar". It was deleted under the grounds that there was "No explanation of the article's significance". The Empire Of Novaar is a micronation, a self-proclaimed state. Many other micronations have articles on Wikipedia, be they famous (Republic Of Molossia, Principality Of Sealand) or not as famous (Neue Slowenische Kunst, for example, make claims similar to that of a micronation). The Empire Of Novaar is not a famous micronation, but it is still a micronation. Why did it deserve to be deleted? It has citizens, a government, and land.

The page was also a work in progress, even though in hindsight it should have been prepared before. I am a new user so please forgive me for this. References for the Empire Of Novaar can be found at www.circlepad.com/EmpireOfNovaar.

Please tell me how I can improve on my previous article, and I shall do so. Thank you.

You deleted this users talk page in what I'm guessing was a RVT, but they haven't and are busy accusing me of outing them, participating in AFDs and an RFC/Us [5] that they were participating in previously. If you are uninvolved, it needs a look. I think they have emailed User:DGG with a complaint regarding outing, which is absurd and untrue but I'm not concerned, just informing you. I had no idea where they lived until they just now posted as an IP and signed the IP and their name, which was brilliant. They have also posted a great deal on my talk page previously. I'm involved in the other case, and they are new and unfamiliar with policy, but they seem to be unusual. I'll just leave it at that. You might want to take a look, as at the very least, the aren't complying with RTV, and they made need some edits redacted as an ip. I won't post here, they are at the link. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 00:58, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I endorse this position. The user in question has been told what their two options are (Either RTV or rescind it) multiple times. They claim to be waiting on a email and continue posting in contravention of WP:RTV. I offer a 3rd solution of Immediate Indef block to enforce the RTV. Hasteur (talk) 02:10, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have restored the talkpage - these should not be deleted db-user when they contain edits by other users. I have indeff'd him following his post on my talkpage, but checkuser confirms that although he appears to have created one other account, he never edited from it, and has only edited from one IP.

Restless Creatives Speedy Deletion Questions

[edit]

Hi there Tony, I'm a new user and have just noticed my article was put up for speedy deletion. The reason given that is infringes the copyright of a BBC biogrpaphy of my composer. As my composer's agent, I supplied the biographical information to the BBC and therefore do not have to request their permission to use it. Is there anyway to get around this conundrum? We have supplied the same text to many sites and thought it would be fine to post this on Wikipedia. It's a bit of a chicken and egg scenario but we would like to get the article back up as soon as possible. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Deletion of Edgar Snyder

[edit]

Hi. I just noticed that Edgar Snyder had been speedy-deleted. The article was on my watchlist, so I must have edited it at least once, but I wasn't a substantial contributor. However, Snyder is a figure pervasively well-known in western Pennsylvania, western Virginia, northern West Virginia, and eastern Ohio, and he has been for decades-- it's hard to overstate his stature. I say this as someone with no connection to the man or his firm. His name-recognition and visibility far surpasses that of (for example) most local and state-level politicians in the region. He is also commonly invited as a keynote speaker by various regional organizations. In closing, I'll leave you with a quick anecdote: my father, a lawyer, was chagrined to find that I had no idea how to call his office when I was a child, but I could rattle off Edgar Snyder's number without trouble. If you could userfy the article for me, I'll see what I can do with it. Thanks! —Bill Price (nyb) 15:17, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Time articles

Please un-delete (at least) the following time-related articles that you deleted for the G5 reason. Other users, including myself, have done work on the time-related articles, and a lot of them were broken by some of these G5 deletions:

How can I keep this from continuing to happen? It's at least the third group of deletions (by different admins). Every time it happens, I get more discouraged that administrative policy is getting in the way of true knowledge sharing. As a result, I don't feel like editing this particular topic for a while. I get interested again, only to find another group of deletions. I'm well aware of the issues regarding the user who created these, but the "policing" is doing more harm than good. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 00:03, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Any editor is allowed to ask for a deleted article to be undeleted, so long as the articles weren't deleted for having copyvios in them or are attack articles. If Alan is asking for them to be undeleted, that means he is taking responsibility for them, regardless of the original creator. Thus, they should be undeleted and put into his userspace.

Speedy Deletion of Adam Hartung Page (A7, G12)

[edit]

Dear Anthony,

You deleted the page of "Adam Hartung" even though he is being reference in the "Steve Ballmer" article. Either the non functional link should be removed from the article or the page should be restored. I think he deserves an article.

question regarding recent page deletion

[edit]

Dear Anthony, perhaps I don't quite understand why the article I recently created was deleted. As being a close follower and contributor of Daniel Johnston and his art history, I believe this photographer Jung Kim (which was the page created) is a significant part of that. There were a few credible references I thought? Or maybe this is something that should just be added to Daniel Johnston's page instead? Please let me know what was missing if it's a reference issue and if you think the page can be saved with more pertinent info and what that should be. Thanks very much.

Query a move

[edit]

Hi sorry to bother you, I'm just asking a question about this move 13 August 2011 - the rationale was done on a successful RM to remove accents 18 July 2011 on a Chicago math professor and some communist politicians, but immediately following an unsuccessful RM on Vietnamese towns 07 Aug 2011 Talk:Cần Thơ/Archive 1. Isn't the Vietnamese dynasty more consistent with the towns rather than the Chicago math professor? It is also out of line with category:Vietnamese dynasties, or at least was - Nguyen dynasty An Duong Vuong was unilaterally moved without discussion on 20 & 23 July 2011. The majority however are still with full dynasty names. Personally I'm not sure about whether Vietnamese names should be simplified on en.wp titles or not, but the request to an admin (I'm assuming) for a private move on 13 August in conflict with the RM result immediately before on 7 August seems problematic, particularly if this private move ever gets cited as a reason for moving the other dynasties. Thanks, I will check here for reply in a day or two. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:26, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Micropharma

[edit]

The user that created the above page, CSD A7/G11 deleted by you, has protested the deletion. They have had severe problems with where they have protested, though. I've cleaned up some of their mess of redirects from moves, but I'm not sure where to properly place the protest, short of cut&pasting it onto either your talk page or theirs. I think I'll leave that up to you, as well as how best to respond to them. Despite their problems, IMHO they do deserve a response, even if it is mostly to point them to WP:CORP. Anyway, at the time of my writing the note, the protest is sitting at User talk:Micropharma. Whether or not it will be left there, who knows. :) - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:28, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Inquiry

[edit]

Thank you for the email you sent. At this time there are no actions to be taken as I've reduced my WP workload recently due to the "unpleasantness" (see also the archives and Talk:2012 in UFC events and it's archives) that I've been a part of. In the future there may be action to take in that direction, but at this time with the taste in the mouth of several editors that anybody involved in the MMA project space (even if they are no longer involved) is a gaurnteed recipie for drama of the first order (See the recent AN or ANI where someone made the comment "MMA deletions, not that crap again"). I do intend at some point for that action to take place, but not for 6 months. Thank you for your consideration. Hasteur (talk) 22:37, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion: Where is the work that I just started on Ricardo Regazzoni?

[edit]

I was in the middle of an edit, and you deleted the page, and now I just lost twenty minutes of work, plus the little stub that you deleted.

I don't understand why it was important to speedily delete a page on an artist whose significance is well documented in the art world. All you had to do was complete a google search to see that he has cultural signifcance. This is the kind of stuff that reduces the number of editors on Wikipedia.

My RfA

[edit]

Thank you very much for your participation in my recent RfA. I appreciate that you took the time to read through my nomination statement and gave me serious consideration for the role.

As a side note, I'm not 100% sure what you meant by "normal admin role", but chances are I wouldn't have been the most active admin on the site, if that's the impression you had taken from my nomination statement. Now, if it came across as though I was looking for adminship as a trophy or a badge of honour, I should emphasize the fact that I have never viewed it as such. In my mind, +sysop is nothing more than an advanced set of tools entrusted to experienced, capable editors for the purpose of providing maintenance assistance. Nevertheless, I can understand why people may have developed that notion after reading through my RfA.

In any case, I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to interact with such a broad array of the community. Take care. =) Master&Expert (Talk) 08:39, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Caiden Cowger

[edit]

Could you please undo your speedy deletion of Caiden Cowger? The version you deleted was not the original version of the page, but a rewrite by single-purpose account User: Caidencowgerprogram. Prior to Caidencowgerprogram's hijacking of the article, though, it was a valid article with reliable sources, so neither A7 nor A11 applied. I believe speedy deletion criteria only apply if there are no previous good versions of the page, which is not the case here; the proper thing to do would have been to rollback all of Caidencowgerprogram's edits rather than delete the article altogether. If you have doubts about his notability, you could nominate the article for AFD, however Cowger has received quite a bit of coverage in the news media (not unlike Jonathan Krohn before him), so there's a good case to be made that he is notable enough for an article. LonelyBoy2012 (talk) 03:21, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DefySupply page

[edit]

Hi Anthony,

In March 2009, a page entitled DefySupply was deleted due to blatant advertising. This was the information provided: 21:02, 3 March 2009 Anthony Bradbury (talk | contribs) deleted page Defysupply (G11: Blatant advertising).

I just joined the DefySupply team and I'm looking to recreate this page, without any advertising. I believe there is a lot of merit to what we have to offer to the larger community through our experiences with global supply chain management and share how these experiences impact the furniture industry. Please let us know how we can avoid deletion this time around.

Thanks, Elissa, DefySupply.com

You and I actually have one thing in common. I am also an officer of the Swiss Airforce. We also have the F/A 18 mind you, the ripper. Like you I value patriotism and I love America and may the greatest spirit of all "We the People" live on.

I apologize but I am frustrated. Can you please for one minute imagine the anger you would have if let us say United Airlines got wiped out by politics and some feisty unethical Wallstreet dudes? Killing tens of thousands of jobs?

Well, as you can see I helped to bring the truth on the Swiss and German manipulation to bring down Swissair to the public. I also defended US Creditors and at the same time after the catastrophic grounding lined up a pro bono action with Merrill Lynch, my old colleagues, to rescue to airline. Lufthansa won the battle with the UBS bankers, fending off our initiative.

But, we did all this for the greater cause.

Please reconsider and again, I am sorry.

old moves

[edit]

Hi, in editing Hồ dynasty I have just noticed your move:

  • 19:32, 13 August 2011 moved Hồng Bàng Dynasty to Hong Bang dynasty noted "Drop Vietnamese diacritics as there is virtually no use in published English. See Britannica, discussion at Talk:Ngo Bao Chau)

Except that there is no discussion of Hồng Bàng Dynasty or any ancient subject at mathematician Talk:Ngo Bao Chau and this move comes not after Talk:Ngo Bao Chau, but instead 13 August 2011 immediately following 07 August 2011 no consensus for a move at Talk:Cần Thơ/Archive 1 which the initiator of both the failed RM and the "uncontroversial request" failed to declare to you as admin actioning the "uncontroversial move". Then I see an editor has recently tried to undo your move, with it being, apparently second dbmove "uncontroversial request" back to the undiscussed move result, further indication that it was not in any way an uncontroversial move. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:55, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There also seems something odd about the deleted moves of original redirect Hong Bang dynasty that had 2 or 3 db-move requests to allow Hồng Bàng Dynasty to be moved there twice. I spoke to the editor who tried to revert this (your) move and he's intending to put in a RM to restore your move, and requested I helped him proofread it, but I find the history of the page confusing. Is there one or more deleted edit between these two edits which isn't visible? For example a second placing of a dbmove template on Hong Bang dynasty to clear the way for a second uncontroversial move. Not really that important, since a RM is likely anyway, but if helping draft the RM would like to understand the page history correctly. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:06, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Anthony, many thanks. If that's the limit of available information I'll get on with assisting the User who reverted it to take to a RM. There's also a question in at WT:CAPS regarding capitalization of Dynasty which needs to be resolved. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
? Well evidently it isn't. Sorry Anthony, I don't see the relevance of the above link. FWIW I didn't participate in that ANI discussion, and that ANI discussion doesn't mention (evidently User Karl B wasn't aware) either the 600x dbmoves in addition to 1000 moves under own name, nor discovery 2 days later of IP puppetry hiding RM results prior to requesting "uncontroversial moves" so I cannot see what possible relevance it has to Hồng Bàng Dynasty. Other than that it appears 2x dbmove templates were placed on the same redirect Hong Bang dynasty to "uncontroversial move" it twice. In any case that will no doubt all come out in the wash in an RM. At the moment the capitalization question is more immediate... Cheers In ictu oculi (talk) 07:01, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Raleigh Moncrief

[edit]

Hi, I saw you A7'ed this article. Was the speedy placed by the IP 94.12.133.144? If so, I believe it to be a bad-faith nomination; there is an ongoing discussion about this at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Cvlwr. In any case, I believe this article, when it existed, was not bereft of third-party references and made claims that approached WP:MUSIC, at least in a way that would render it unspeediable. Could you please take a second look? Thanks Chubbles (talk) 01:26, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That IP was going around tagging Cvlwr's articles for deletion as created by a blocked sock. While this is true, the article was created in a reasonably well-curated manner, and Moncrief should pass the threshold of notability as having released an album on the label Anticon which has been reviewed by many major music magazines (e.g., [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]). I'd be happy to add these to a restored article. Chubbles (talk) 23:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
FYI - at WP:REFUND#Raleigh Moncrief an IP user requested undeletion. I told him if he had sources to show them to you, but he has posted them there (from another 124 IP - I don't know if these are part of the Cvlwr situation). JohnCD (talk) 21:03, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I certainly don't know what you mean by "criteria at WP:MUSIC do not apply"; Moncrief is a musician and the notability of the subject is governed by WP:MUSIC, as is whether or not he is A7able. And the sources provided, as well as those noted at the REFUND request, clearly demonstrate that he is the subject of multiple nontrivial articles from third-party publications, which meets WP:MUSIC bullet 1, and, in my opinion, WP:GNG to boot. I think that A7 is for clear cases, and this is nowhere near a clear A7; it at the very least deserves the attention of the community at large before deletion. Chubbles (talk) 22:02, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you wish to take it to deletion review I shall not contest whatever view the community arrive at. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 10:07, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey sorry to bother you again, just cleaning up undiscussed moves done counter the 3 of 3 Vietnam place names RMs at Talk:Cà Mau . Found a town name Phúc Yên where you were G6-requested-ed 1 Nov 2011 contrary geo names RM Talk:Cà Mau 7 Aug 2011. As different G6 "uncontroversial moves" admins have different attitudes to this, I thought I would leave it up to you whether to restore Phúc Yên or have a 4th place name RM to enforce result of previous 3. Take care and thanks for reply on page about earlier. The other editor hasn't yet done the dynasty restore RM. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:52, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please restore two recent speedy deletions

[edit]

You recently deleted two "templates" covering roads in Toronto. There was an ongoing discussion over these on my talk page, which the person who tagged them with CSD chose to ignore further discussion in favour of CSDing them. These are clearly contentious and should go through another XfD rather than being speedied to sweep them under the mat (as I indicated in the contested deletion). I'd like request that you please undelete them so that a proper discussion can actually take place, since deletion review is for reviewing the conclusion of a deletion discussion and not determining whether there is consensus to undelete. - Floydian τ ¢ 23:06, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These two templates were speedied as recreating templates deleted via a proper TfD process. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 00:01, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And I am requesting they be restored through the proper process so that a deletion discussion can be held, as is the proper process when something is contentious like this and clearly the situation has changed from the original XfD. However, you are trying as hard as you can to subvert that discussion. It is pointy, harassing, and manipulative. - Floydian τ ¢ 00:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You recreating the templates by a cut & paste move from your user space, where they were restored solely so that the content could be migrated to another form of TOC template (which you did not use), and then deploying them without discussion, is not the proper process. Another editor explained this to you on your talk page a few hours ago. The situation has not "changed from the original XfD". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 01:44, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"they were restored solely so that the content could be migrated to another form of TOC template" - where have you gotten this idea from? "deploying them without discussion" - discussion isn't necessary on every change on wikipedia. I was bold, and I've given my reasoning. My change remained for over 5 months before another user brought it up on my talk page. Within two hours, you had taken it upon yourself to be the gatekeeper. "Another editor explained this to you on your talk page a few hours ago" - Yes, and I responded and we discussed it... unlike you, who have chosen to initiate a content dispute and excessive time wasting rather than discussing or allowing me to start a second XfD. "The situation has not "changed from the original XfD"" - Ok, that's wonderful that you feel that way, but I don't. But, seeing as you are confident on your stance, you should have no objection to a new XfD. - Floydian τ ¢ 03:06, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The only recent relevant deletions that I can see that I have done were a couple of talk-page deletions under category G8 relating to article deletions undertaken by Skier Dude. I do not deny your claim, but cannot identify the articles in question. Would you care to quote the exact titles?--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 09:27, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See User talk:Floydian#Talk:List of east–west roads in Toronto/TOC. These templates were deleted following this discussion, Floydian got them userfied, and then for some reason copy-pasted them into new pages (in talkspace: they aren't talk pages) in order to undo the TfD result. I don't know why he's requesting they be undeleted when he's still got the originals sitting in his userspace. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm sure Andy will if I do such a thing, seeing as he's willing to edit war and use rollback on non-vandalism edits... But it's worth a shot. - Floydian τ ¢ 14:08, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I note that Floydian has ignored your decision and recreated both templates. Would you like to borrow a trout? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You mean so that I could start the discussion you are so desperately grasping at all straws to circumvent? How aweful of me... too bad, so sad. - Floydian τ ¢ 13:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
[With apologies to Anthony for abusing his talk page; I suggest future discussion bellongs elsewhere.] If you read what I wrote recently on your talk page, you will notice that I recommended a discussion. We do not need these malformed, misplaced and out-of-process recreations of what is already in your user space in order to discuss it. As for your attempt to put words in my mouth...
