Library of Congress Country Studies are public domain
- Thanks for your help with copyvio Debiganj the other day.
- I noticed Bangladeshi society was speedily deleted yesterday for "G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://countrystudies.us/bangladesh/30.htm." I don't care that it's gone, if someone wants it back they can ask for it, but for future reference, the US Country Studies are in the public domain. Articles that copy verbatim from them should use Template:Country study or the older Template:Loc to signal that, but many probably don't. Just something to watch out for. Worldbruce (talk) 00:57, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks I'll keep a lookout for stuff like that. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:01, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Could you restore this? Countrystudies.us is a mirror of public domain country studies from the Library of Congress. Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:29, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- Calliopejen1 I've restored it and removed the tag. I noticed that it said it was a copyvio from other places as well so you might want to check that out. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 23:37, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- Talk:Bangladeshi society should be restored as well. It may not contain much, but there are POV and expert-needed tags on the article, so it's important to see whether the tagger followed directions and explained the reason on the talk page. Worldbruce (talk) 01:39, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks I forgot all about the talk page. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:42, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
Please stop
Please cease from making edits such as this [[1]]. The date format that you are trying to impose is unique to the USA, is not used in Saudi Arabia or in other countries. Your actions are unhelpful, and are suggestive of US-centric, cultural imperialism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.215.62.89 (talk) 07:36, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
These should have been placed under the Syrian Civil War sanctions. I've added talk page notices and edit notices. IPs can be rolled back without it counting against the 1RR, so maybe PC isn't needed? I don't care myself, I only just ran across these at ANI. Doug Weller (talk) 13:09, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- Ah thanks. I see the page has no been redirected. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:48, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Atiq Rahman
Hi, just wondering why you deleted this page: 23:29, 3 October 2015 CambridgeBayWeather (talk | contribs) deleted page Atiq Rahman (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.bcas.net/director-details.php?id=2&&name=Dr.%20A%20Atiq%20Rahman) Can you please briefly explain this "Unambiguous copyright infringement" case? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zaheed~enwiki (talk • contribs) 20:42, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
- The article was a copy and paste from the http://www.bcas.net/director-details.php?id=2&&name=Dr.%20A%20Atiq%20Rahman which does not have a licence compatible with Wikipedia.

Quite frankly, one of the kindest admins I've worked with on Wikipedia. Anytime I ask CambridgeBayWeather for a favor, CambridgeBayWeather doesn't usually say "I'm too busy" or "I'll do it later." Proactive people like you are the true WikiGnomes. Seriously, keep up the awesome work; it is widely appreciated by all of us! ![]() |
- I'll second that! - Ahunt (talk) 23:57, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi. I'd suggest that you undelete Bangladesh Students Union. It's clearly not a fringe organization, as claimed in the PROD nomination; In fact it played a major role in the lead-up to the Bangladesh Liberation War. see for example:

- Soman. I've restored the page. Hope you don't mind but I've hidden the reasons because to restore a PROD all that is needed is a request. While it's good to have reasons there don't have to be any. If you want the reason to stay visible please feel free to remove the two templates. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 02:38, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

I noticed this was deleted as being fabricated and in that case, would you move it to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia? Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 07:49, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
You have protected the page at bequest of user Contaldo80 who seeks to control page with numerous edits which remove mass amounts of referenced content. The request for protection always comes post Contaldo80 edit in order to leave page as he sees fit with no justification. Please review in reference to user habit of mass content deletion and ensure version of page is in reasonable condition prior to protecting to allow constructive ongoing content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.255.233.127 (talk) 10:14, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't choose which versio to protect. You need to discuss it on the talk page. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 10:16, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Re Aaron Goach
Hi, Aaron Goach is a faculty of Harvard, a graduate of Harvard, and serves as banker-lawyer in Merrill Lynch Hong Kong. I had reverted it to draft to improve on the article, is it possible if you can restore it? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramillav (talk • contribs) 11:05, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Ramillav. I restored Draft:Aaron Goach. The speedy delete tag was on the wrong thing. It should have been on the redirects created when it was moved. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. This is my first time to create an article and I am trying my best to meet the standard.
Ramillav (talk) 11:30, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- I did not place a speedy delete tag on a draft article. It was originally placed on this earlier today when it wasn't a draft. I agree that speedy delete tags are not appropriate for Afc submissions. However, an unregistered user had approved the draft article and redirected it back to the site. I see this as someone's attempt to circumvent the process of article patrols with the Afc process. Please look into to this and see what your thoughts on the matter are. Now that it is an article, I returned the speedy delete tag pending it being contested within the wiki process. Hermera34 (talk) 12:57, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Ramillav and Hermera34. It probably should have stayed in the draft space until it was reviewed. I see that someone else has removed the speedy tag so for now it seems OK. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 17:11, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Deletion of Richard Taittinger Gallery
Hello, I am writing to you on behalf of Richard Taittinger Gallery regarding the deletion of our page. The reason given was G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Considering other wiki pages of art galleries such as David Zwirner Gallery, Gagosian Gallery, Salon 94, and others have been permitted to stay active, I’m questioning your reasoning on why any of the content on our page would warrant a deletion.
If you can kindly give me your input or even reconsider, it would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardfrerejean (talk • contribs) 22:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- Richardfrerejean. I have restored the article and moved it to User:Richardfrerejean/Richard Taittinger Gallery. You can work on it there with less concern over it being deleted. When you think it is ready follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Drafts. Hope that helps. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:27, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
Emilia Dering hoax
Hello CambridgeBayWeather, I noticed you moved a small hoax to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Emilia Dering. Unfortunately the WikiProject Germany banner on the talkpage doesn't treat Wikipedia namespace as valid article space and displays a (minimal) error in the project statistics. Could you remove/nowiki the banner(s) please? Alternatively, adding an explicit importance of "Low" to the Germany banner similar to the other project templates would probably fix the problem too. Thanks for your help (the page is admin-protected, or I'd fix it myself of course). Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 07:09, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- GermanJoe. I nowiki them. Thanks for pointing it out. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 16:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Will this article be seen in the list of hoaxes? TheGGoose (talk) 19:16, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- TheGGoose. Is it not visible at the link above? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 20:25, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Emilia Dering is not seen in the list of hoaxes on Wikipedia, although that has become the article's namespace I guess. I can probably add it instead. TheGGoose (talk) 01:44, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- TheGGoose. Ah, I thought it would automatically get added to that page. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 02:39, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- I have now added it. SwisterTwister talk 20:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Clemens Nathan Research Centre
Hi there. This page was deleted for the following reasons: "Somewhat promotional article without evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Some of the references are not independent sources, some don't even mention the Clemens Nathan Research Centre." It had been the intention to address all these issues systematically, but it was deleted before we got round to it. How can I access the content and revise it now it has been deleted? I have sent an undelete request. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajbucket (talk • contribs) 07:26, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- Ajbucket I've undeleted it. The article was deleted as a WP:PROD and as such can be restored at any time by request. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:39, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Contesting speedy deletion for Century Plyboards
Hi, I just saw that the page on Century Plyboards was deleted before I could place my arguments. The page is notable. Century Plyboards is a publicly traded company which has numerous online citations in reliable sources. Some of them are: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. I hope you would find a lot more on further looking into the matter. I was developing the page while it got deleted. I hope you are satisfied about the notability issue of the page and will take steps towards restoring it. Regards, Mr RD 12:22, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- Mr RD. I restored the page and moved it to User:Mr RD/Century Plyboards so you can work on it. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 12:42, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

lock icon - Walter Scott
Re this, I note you didn't add the lock icon. Are non-admins allowed to do that, and is there a reason not to do so? ―Mandruss ☎ 06:46, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Mandruss. I usually forget about adding an icon. I thought that there was a bot that goes around and does it. Yes anybody can add the icon to a page. I think that the main reason for not adding it is show in the IP comment in the section above this. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 06:49, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- I see. When an article is semi'd, do non-autoconfirmed users see "edit" links there at all? If so, when they click one, are they shown the date of expiration? If not, one reason not to show the icon would be to avoid telling them the date when they can return to do more damage (assuming they don't know how to find that in the page history, or are too lazy to do so). ―Mandruss ☎ 06:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. Right now I get a big pink notice that tells me who protected it and when it expires. As an IP there is no "edit" tab just view source. It gives more information than the pink notice but no expiry date either with or with out the lock icon. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:11, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- I suppose I could just log out and become an IP user to answer my own questions! Kinda scary though, I hope I remember my password. ―Mandruss ☎ 07:15, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- I just used another browser. I couldn't find the password for one of my socks accounts that aren't autoconfirmed. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:27, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Ruddy Roye page- can it be restored
Hello I am writing because the speedy deletion of the Ruddy Roye page has already happened.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruddy_Roye
Can it be please be restored so the work can be done to make sure it conforms. I am new to Wiki.
but it seems to be if you have left articles on his peers such as the ones below then this page should be able to stand there is no copyright infringement and since it was tagged for speedy deletion while it was being written since then all the proper references etc have been added to the article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Lowy sort of used this as the template as first time doing this and this seemed to be accepted.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Richards
I would like to have the opportunity to adjust this page so it is not running afoul of the rules. it is not just a promotion page . Ruddy has been named and is considered one the more important Black documentary photographers working in america today and should be there for reference as people in university such as columbia and NYU are studying with him and his work .
Please let know if this can be done and what I can do to ensure it is confirming. Sambilli9 (talk) 17:09, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

List of proposed state mergers II
Hi CambridgeBayWeather. I was wondering if you could have a look at this page again. There has been a re-inclusion by reversal of material (a) deleted more than once; (b) discussed on the talk page; (c) deleted by consensus on the talk page. The user was notified of the discussion and was then invited to take part; the edit summary made it clear that any change should be discussed. User (a) disregarded all of the above, (b) did not take part in any discussion, (c) not did he acknowledge messages left on his page and in edit summaries; (d) reverted without bothering with an edit summary. For what it is worth, the user has a history of edit-warring (the discussions on a block on his talk page are revealing). I have informed the user that I am taking the matter to the attention of an adminsitrator. Please advise if you are in a position to deal. Thanks for your assistance. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 00:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Eid al-Adha
Hi CambridgeBayWeather. Regarding this revert's edit summary, the discussion concerned is at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#Owen 'Alik Shahadah. If you have a different perspective on this, please do comment there, but the consensus so far is that Shahadah's websites are not neutral, reliable sources. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:19, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Cordless Larry and Rupert loup. When I saw this edit I saw the link as figured it was a link to Wikipedia:Consensus. I checked Talk:Eid al-Adha but couldn't find the consensus. I didn't realise that the edit summary link was an Easter egg link to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard#Owen 'Alik Shahadah. While I should have made sure where the link was going hidden links like that shouldn't be used in edit summaries. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 17:42, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Yep, I actually thought the same when I first saw the link. I've suggested to Rupert Loup that he post explanations on article talk pages, but simply including the full text of the link in edit summaries would probably avoid confusion. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:42, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Re: (User talk:ais523) MfD
Many of the pages I'm proposing for deletion at MfD are in namespaces for which a) all pages are permanently protected by the software, and/or b) templates don't work correctly. In such cases, I put the MfD tag on the talk page, because placing it on the page itself would need admin rights and/or wouldn't work (in some cases, both). --ais523 14:45, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Location map templates
WP:PP says that "template protection" is for high-risk templates. How does 100 or 200 transclusions make them high-risk? --George Ho (talk) 21:48, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- George Ho. Wikipedia:High-risk templates says "There are no fixed criteria, and no fixed number of transclusions, that are used to decide whether a template or module is high-risk." So I figure 100+ is high enough risk. Of course other admins may differ and if someone want to reduce it to semi I don't mind. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:54, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- What about giving autoconfirmed users access to edit those templates? Can they be trusted? --George Ho (talk) 21:55, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- FYI, I had been semiprotecting them (based on the spot checking that I had seen on other location maps). When I asked what the threshold was from unprotected-semi-template, the universal answer was "whatever you do will always be wrong". It really could go either way, as evident here. --kelapstick(bainuu) 21:56, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Question for you
Hey, I ran across this issue based on an unrelated check I'm running. There's little doubt in my mind that these two accounts are the same person: CompanyDude and NetherDragons. You have some recent familiarity with the former account, so I thought I'd pester you. The threshold question is whether the two accounts are editing disruptively. If you believe they are not, the question becomes what to do about it as there's no basis for the person to have two accounts. My guess is they'd want to keep CompanyDude as that account edits far more extensively. Technically, NetherDragons is older (by hours - they were created on the same day), but that's not a big deal if we can resolve this amicably (perhaps with a warning and a block of one of the two accounts). Anyway, when you get a moment, please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:13, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
- Bbb23. I think that CompanyDude's editing is OK but NetherDragons isn't really doing anything useful. It really doesn't seem like a valid use of an alternate account. Of the two I would think NetherDragons should be blocked. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 20:41, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll take it from here.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

protection or not
WaterEarthFlowers here, regarding the Geoffrey Marcy page and request for protection. I have had an exchange with Kazim27 regarding his wiping out all of my changes. After an email exchange, we are coming closer together on what does and does not belong in the article. I see his reasoning and I am addressing his concerns, either by citing additional sources or deleting or changing text. I am willing to drop the request for protection. This has turned into a reasonable back-and-forth. His first foray of deleting ALL of my changes just seemed a bit too extreme.

Hello, I have noticed that you reverted some of my edits, May i ask you why? Agent AX (talk) 14:45, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- Agent AX. For Abu Bakr the POV issues were not addressed. For Muslim world the paragraph is sourced. Saying "in which Muslim elected" is not clear. It could mean that one person named "Muslim" elected Abu Bakr or that all Muslims elected him or just some. It also leaves out the mention of the Saqifah which is where it happened.

PC edit war
Hello. What I were trying to add was the mention of the NYT article that most seemingly popularized the term to the beginning of the 1990s bit. What followed was the pushing of my article mention towards the bottom of the 1990s section even though it happened in 1990 before any of the other stuff mentioned. All of the other stuff basically follows after because the article — along with Newsweek which I were also planning to mention — most clearly popularized the term like I wrote. The only explanation I can think of is that the criticism of the term and scare quotes from conservatives are wanted to be mentioned first, even though they were the direct result.
The article also casts way too much light on apparent criticism of the term. It seems that in the US it's used in the described fashion more, but in other English countries and globally speaking altogether it tends to mean the philosophy of watching out not to offend, to not to cause fighting. The term is used pejoratively elsewhere as well, yes, but it means the philosophy more. The US header of the article says that it's not ideal for the article to be simply from the US perspective. The lead sentence originally said ordinarily pejorative, but it was edit warred to say primarily pejorative. We then had at one point a third editor's suggestion where primarily pejorative was moved to a second sentence, but this was edit warred out again and primarily moved back into the main sentence. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 09:16, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

PC edit war 2
Hi, I'm contacting you again, because I fear the edit war will just happen again. We have not reached any sort of concensus on the talk page, and I feel like it's gearing up for just another showdown. I looked at dispute resolution, and I think we need mediation more than dispute resolution. What is my interest in a break? I'd like to try to request comments on the talk page for issues other than the one we tried to request comments for and which no one cares about right now. I believe I'll win people over on the core issues. As of now it's mostly been between three people. Oh and please note that the current page has a lead I very much disagree with. The only thing currently "mine" is the fact that the 1990s section is in chronological order. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 18:37, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Mr. Magoo and McBarker. I'll keep a eye on it until about 17:00 UTC. If I miss it you can get another admin to look. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:25, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, I posted about this to another admin, but I think he's away.
- Two very reasonable sources are being forcefully removed from the article. As I explained on the talk page:
- Two removals happened on sources which have been there for 25 days now:
- They do not state it began the debate about the term because the term wasn't used at the time of these reviews. But they state it began the academic debate about liberal education. Then this sentence is followed up by later quotes and sources which clarify that it began the debate about political correctness. The two critics Paglia and Atlas are very notable, and their view that it began the debate is hefty. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 00:05, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- The purpose for those two sources is well-defined. They are there sourcing that Bloom began the debate which was the Political Correctness debate but was only titled with that moniker a few years later. Could you undo the removal, as a person of authority? I think something that simple would solve it. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 00:41, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- Admins don't have that kind of authority. And knowing little about the material would just make things worse. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 01:03, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
deletion of page adhrit arya
You shouldn't delete the page named adhrit Arya as he is an upcoming Indian novel writer. He is currently writing a novel 'The Unborn ADHANJ' which is based on true love story where everything happened in just an unpredictable manner that everyone will say it's amazing. It is a sad and very emotional love story.After launching of this novel everyone will want to know about him because this love story is actually inspired by his real life incidents. <ref>www.facebook.com/theunbornadhanj</ref> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adhrit4mpa.aa (talk • contribs) 05:28, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

About prod at Soundcraftsmen (why I restored it, reverting you)
I restored it, per WP:DEPROD: removed prods should not be restored BUT "This excludes removals that are clearly not an objection to deletion, such as page blanking, mass removals or obvious vandalism; additionally, tags removed by banned users may also be restored." In this case, there's a consensus on anon's talk page that his was WP:POINT anti-prod vandalism; he has used more than one IP address for that - it's clear this is not AGF deprodding, but someone disrupting the project. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:04, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

- Interesting, I didn't realize the policy was changed recently, but it seems like a reaction to this new variety of vandalism. Certainly you don't have to delete it, there are others who'll get to it soon, I am sure, but in general, my view is that we should not let vandals game the system - and get away with it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:22, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Feedback on my edit
Hello, I recently reverted some edits on Lavabit similar to the spam links on ProtonMail, which you recently protected due to these. My reversion was unreverted by the IP who has originally made the edits, claiming that I 'keep deleting factual information". However, the exact same edits by different IPs on this and other pages (like Hushmail, ProtonMail) were quickly reneged by other editors. The diff is [8]]. Could you please look at this and tell me if I made a mistake? Thanks, BlAcKhAt9(9 (talk) 01:40, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Blackhat99. It looks fine to remove it. Sorry I missed this earlier. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 16:49, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Blackhat999. Whoops got your name wrong the first time. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 16:53, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking at it. BTW the IP making the edits emailed Jimmy Wales about it and CC'd me on it. He/she says (in red text, no less) that I repeatedly remove information about ProtonMail competitors so far as to suggest that I might be part of a Lavabit-Protonmail collusion agreement as I 'continue deleting factual information'. I hardly every revert edits and do not believe that there is sufficient cause to make these allegations. As an experienced admin, how do you think I should respond to this? Thanks, BlAcKhAt9(9 (talk) 21:11, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Blackhat999. I would just ignore it for now. There's no possible reply and I doubt that Jimbo will go anywhere with it. If you reply to the email then they have your email address. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:53, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
- Good advice. I have a public email for Wikipedia so I don't have any problems with that, but beyond providing a description of my edit, which the IP requested, I probably shouldn't waste my time with this. Better to make edits that long, argumentative emails. BlAcKhAt9(9 (talk) 21:59, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

I do not understand why you locked Kim Zolciak. So Tenebrae is superior and can get the page lock. Why not discuss? My edits have sources and I explained why they needed to have the information. I disagree with the lock of the page. 173.66.63.102 (talk) I read the request for page lock. I am being accused of having an axe to grind. I think this is ludicrous that one can make accusations and based on that the page is locked. I would like for you to look. The edits I made were sourced. I added specific information while before my edits the page was general. For example, as I stated in my edit summaries the house being bought/rented was a plot line of the show and in the media as Kim gave interviews saying she was being slandered; she threatened to sue Kendra Davis for defamation. I do not know what is meant about Kim being an alumnus as it is not known what trade school/technical school/college/university she attended. Thank you for reconsideration. 173.66.63.102 (talk) 01:22, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
- Because you were adding WP:BLP material. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 09:29, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
All that I added was sourced. What violated BLP. Tenebrae does not like that I put in the rented house and her kids having different fathers but this is factual and sourced. Tenebra accused me of haivng axe to grind, says I know Kim and do not like her. I think Tenebrae knows Kim and is trying to whitewash the article. I ask that you reconsider. 173.66.63.102 (talk) 15:30, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

I asked for unblock and you did not reply. Why? I will re add my edits to Kim ZOlciak. THey are sourced. I think Tenebrae will have an issue. I feel there is a connection as why remove those true and sourced facts? Tenebrae said I have an axe to grind or do not like her but I wonder if there is a connection between them to? Please advise me as though I feel you were wrong and bias, life is short and this is just wikipedia. I like it , want to continue to contribute, and want to be an excellent helpful contributor. Thank You. 173.66.63.102 (talk) 03:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
- I did reply. Another admin declined to unlock the page. Have you tried discussing on the talk page? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:18, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
YOU were the one who blocked the page. I wanted you to look at the edits. I saw that Tenebrae wrote to you to block the page saying I had an axe to grind. The negativity in her life is her own doing and so long as it is factual and cited it should stand, is this a wrong thought? I am returning to edit and I hope you will be there. Also, tenebrae is reverting all other's edits, please remind it that no one owns wikipedia. Lastly, how does one open a consensus review about wpblp? I am having an issue over the word 'may'.

Reconsidering a deleted article draft....
Hello, CambridgeBayWeather. I just tapped into Wikipedia's "help line" for this issue, where the responder (Stabila711) ID'd you as the deleting administrator concerning and suggested I inquire of you about an article I drafted for a friend of mine's company -- Virtium (see Draft: Virtium Memory and Storage Solutions). I'm compelled to rebut the reasons for its deletion. I used several existing Wikipedia articles as the basis (even template) of what was submitted. The reviewers' explanation of its lacking notability is, quite, frankly perplexing, considering those articles I consulted had similar, if not lesser, citations to support notability, and they were mostly all from the same industry as Virtium (technology). I understand that a company isn't notable simply by being a company, so I went to great pains to point out what distinguishes it from other concerns, while supporting it with an array of written, third-party articles about it. For the life of me, I can't understand why this particular article is singled out that way when so many others of similar content were approved.
So, please consider the above and reconsider the deletion. I'm not asking for advice on how to make the article suitable for acceptance; i'm asking that you compare it to other existing articles.
Thank you.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you.
I trust the editors/reviewers now will appreciate that the draft (Virtium) has met Wikipedia requirements of notability and balance.

- JerrySteach. I don't think that the issues noted have been addressed. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 15:28, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Partial delete
Seems like you only deleted one of the two pages at [9]. EEng (talk) 13:37, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- EEng. Yes the other page had over 5,000 revisions and requires a steward. I left them a message. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 19:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
