Hi Athaenara, Thank you for editing this page however I am at a loss why all the content was removed. Under the heading "Controversy in Victoria", you have removed referenced content that is pertinent to Kamco. Kamco is now a house-hold name in Victoria and would appear in national newspapers on at least a monthly basis. Can you please review your edits and help me understand the reasons please.

Hi Athaenara,
with regret we learned about the decision to delete our page. So we would be very eager to learn what went wrong and how we could improve. First, the stated reason seems not to be justified, as far as we see it.

IAPM is an international non-profit organization that promotes the art of project management. This is done by the contribution of specialists and scientists, who do not receive any compensation for their contributions. We certainly feel that our wikipedia entry is not simple advertising, but rather an encyclopedic article about an international association. What do we need to do from you standpoint and how can we stay on wikipedia?

Your response and opinion is greatly appreciated, regards, Hans

Hi Atheanara,
I saw your gallery of signatures, and it inspired me to be creative myself. During the process, however, I wondered if my signature was blinking (as I was not familiar with that wikiword), so I went to the help desk. As can be seen [[Wikipedia:Help desk#Blinking signatures|here]], it soon turned into something that made me feel completely bad about myself, not to mention utterly lost, for I really don't know how I can rectify things. Could you perhaps give me some pointers? Thanks a million in advance, [[User:Robster1983|<span style="font-family:Cursive MS; color: lime"><big>'''Ρόμπ'''</big></span>]] [[User talk:Robster1983|<font color="DarkTurquoise"><sup><big>'''☞'''</big></sup></font><font color="deeppink"><sup>''Life's short, talk fast''</sup></font> <font color="DarkTurquoise"><sup><big>'''☜'''</big></sup></font>]] 22:12, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
: I haven't often (if ever) advised anyone on their signatures but I looked at your code and the help desk discussion. My own suggestion is that you tone it down further and put your final text in your preferences.
::: For example: [[User:Robster1983|<span style="font-family:Cursive MS">'''Ρόμπ'''</span>]] [[User talk:Robster1983|<sup><big>☞</big>''Life's short, talk fast'' <big>☜</big></sup>]]
: The example eliminates colors, retains bold markup for the username and big markup for the hands, adds one space after the italic phrase so the end of that line won't overlap the second hand image, and is short enough to fit in your sig preference field. – [[User:Athaenara|Athaenara]] [[User talk:Athaenara| ✉ ]] 00:10, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

; Deletion of Buchanan_(band)
Hi Athaenara,
I understand that initially the Buchanan_(band) page was, despite being backed up by multiple sources after most sentences, too descriptive and not factual enough. However there was a revision prior to deletion that removed it from being promotional and purely factual.
In this latest 'factual' entry, we managed to check off two of the requirements of this document http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)
In the document it asks that you don't write an article unless you have at least one of the following. In our article not only was their references from magazines, triple j databases and some of the world's busiest blogs, we also provided proof of being in high rotation in Australia, which is number 11 on the list.

Please reconsider or at the very least, let a rewrite occur without an automatic deletion. At the very least, the point was NOT to add spam or too many links - just to show evidence making it worthy of an article.

Regards,
Josh <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Josh simo|Josh simo]] ([[User talk:Josh simo|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Josh simo|contribs]]) 23:11, 15 March 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: You're trying to promote your band on Wikipedia. If it is truly as notable as you claim it is, editors who ''don't'' have your conflict of interest will undoubtedly create a neutral and well-referenced article about it. Please read and comprehend the {{tl|uw-coi}} on your talk page: if your only interest in this encyclopedia is self-promotion, it would be better not to edit here. – [[User:Athaenara|Athaenara]] [[User talk:Athaenara| ✉ ]] 00:00, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

:: Then let those unbiased editors come in and remove the apparent conflict of interest, rather than delete it. Its final iteration was completely unbiased. It was edited by a neutral party and trimmed any 'COI' leaving only fact which meets all the requirements of a wikipedia page. I am happy to leave it at this, but if a fan or a third party start the page again and it is purely factual, I fail to understand the motive in deleting it. Furthermore I have put in a request on the requests page to have it written by an editor and have created a special page on my profile as a guide for that editor. Please do not delete that guide as it complies with all Wikipedia policies.

:::<small>[[Wikipedia:Talk page stalker|Talk page stalker]]</small>
:::Sorry to butt in here, but I happened to read your comments while still on this page from my earlier discussion above. I think the concern is more about the fact that the article is itself authored by someone with a conflict of interest - in other words, the article was authored by a member of the band. There are a lot of things that establish notability. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Australian music and thus might not be the best person to determine if some of this information is notable. While it provides good background, there is not really much that I find notable. I personally knew a guy who released a music album in 2007 or thereabouts; unfortunately, I do not think he has a Wikipedia article either even though he wrote his own music. It just didn't go anywhere being self-released. I hope it gets into the right hands because I've heard people say he's good, but he still isn't notable to have an article.

:::With that said, being courted to play for record labels and maybe get a contract; that's good! However, it's still not notable in and of itself to just play for the record label in a tryout, so to speak. So I agree with Athaenara, it's better if someone not associated from the band starts the article. Even putting in a request, the person who writes the article - if it happens - shouldn't really be using information you provide as again, there is a COI involved; you are trying to have information added to an article about yourself, even if it IS properly sourced. I hope that your band does succeed, and I hope in my watching the Hot 100 that one day you crack it or another acclaimed chart through Billboard (trust me, THAT is notable for an album and inherently makes the band notable), but I do agree that it's better someone else write a fresh article using information they research so there is no COI. They may decide to use something you provide, and if so, great; they are not however required to, and you technically should not contribute to the article even once it does exist from a third party.

Hello Athaenara,

I am contacting you because it appears you have deleted a commercial listing I posted.

Being new to Wikipedia, I'm sure I missed something in the details. However, the listing I was deleted from was specifically for Commercial Products: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_synchronization_software#Commercial

Every single product in this listing is commercial. Can you please help me out and explain why we were eliminated?

I really appreciate your assistance. We are a small company and just trying to keep up with all of the competitiors that are listed on this page.

; My Article Deletion

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a professional actor. I created an article for myself yesterday because I saw that my name is listed in another Wikipedia article about a Broadway Show in which I performed called, [[High_Fidelity_(musical)|High Fidelity]].

Because I am already listed on this page as an original cast member, I didn't think it was unreasonable to want to have my name linked to a Wikipedia article about me. Everything I put in the article is factual, and there are trustworthy internet sites that I listed as references to my work, such as; BroadwayWorld.com, Playbill.com, and the Internet Broadway Database.

I have also legally paid for and now own a domain name on the internet, and I included that as a reference as well. I'm not sure if this was considered inappropriate by your regulations. However, that site is a representation of my professional work, and there is nothing inappropriate on it.

Is there anyway I could make changes to my article that would fit your regulations and keep it from being deleted? If so, I would very much appreciate it. I did not mean to post anything inappropriate or self-promoting on your web-site.

I sincerely thank you for your time.

Warm regards,
[[Special:Contributions/162.90.144.23|162.90.144.23]] ([[User talk:162.90.144.23|talk]]) 20:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

; Further Confusion about my article being deleted
Hello, Athaenara.

You have sent me some information about my article being deleted. I'm sorry, but I'm still confused. There is an article on Wikipedia about the Broadway Show, [[High_Fidelity_(musical)|High Fidelity]]. I am an original cast member that's listed on THAT Wikipedia page. Since my name is listed on that page, I wanted to create an article which links to my name. As you can see, [[Kirsten_Wyatt|Kirsten Wyatt]], who is also listed on the High Fidelity page was able to create an article for herself as an actor. I included only factual information and NO opions. I also included references. In fact, my article looks very similar to hers. So I don't understand why my article is considered inappropriate. As I am new to Wikipedia, would you mind telling me the very specific things that I need to remove from this article? What I would like to be in the article is below. Thank you.

: The page log (linked in my first reply to you) shows that [[Special:Contributions/MuZemike|MuZemike]] deleted it several hours ago, quite likely because the weekly update of [[:Wikipedia:Database reports/Blank single-author pages]] included it again. The talk page can be undeleted for a second time, but it will probably continue to appear in that database report as long as you leave it blanked.

; Deletion of my article
Hi, you deleted my article (Nick Taussig) under code G11 which claims the article was, or read as, an advertisement. It was in fact an article for an author and film producer. The purpose of the article was for encyclopedic information. I am happy to rewrite the article if you would like to provide me with some feedback. I felt that the tone of the article was unbiased and purely biographical. I also have additional external sources from reputable links such as Screen International which I can add. Nick Taussig is an establish author an film producer and is also the founder of a charity. These are all recognised and reputable professions. The film company he works for has an article listed; [revolver entertainment]. Please can you repost my article.

== Talk pages for files ==
; Blanking of talk pages for files
I noticed recently you are blanking the file talk pages for files that have been moved to commons. I don't agree with this and wonder if there is some documentation somewhere that says to do this. The problem I have is by doing this it removes the file from the visibility of WPUS and thereby removing it from article alerts. This means that if someone submits it for deletion or discussion we have to actively watch the various pages rather than get a notification of it at the project page making it much harder to know about potential problems with it. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 18:31, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

: I haven't been blanking any pages, so perhaps you mean deleting?
: When WikiProject banners are the only content on the talk page of a file which has been transferred to Commons, I delete it after deleting the local duplicate of the file per {{tl|db-f8}}. When there is discussion on such a talk page, I forward the content to the Commons file talk page before deleting it per {{tl|db-g8}} and I specify that in the deletion summary ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=File_talk:Maps-sodor-map-beck-amoswolfe.png example]). I don't know where the issue of file talk pages with project banners only has been discussed in general. Would [[Wikipedia talk:Moving files to the Commons]] be an appropriate place to open such a discussion? – [[User:Athaenara|Athaenara]] [[User talk:Athaenara| ✉ ]] 21:00, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

: Per your objection, starting today, I will not delete talk pages which you have tagged for {{tl|WikiProject United States}} although the associated files themselves have been transferred to Commons (example [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=File:WoodbridgeHouseSouthHadleyMA.jpg file log] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File_talk:WoodbridgeHouseSouthHadleyMA.jpg&action=history talk page history]). – [[User:Athaenara|Athaenara]] [[User talk:Athaenara| ✉ ]] 22:04, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
::Thanks Ill start a discussion at the link you provided. I see both sides of the coin myself and Im not sure what the end result will be but since a link (for lack of a better word) is left on wikipedia to the File on commons and because the vast majority of files in use on WPUS are either on commons or eligible for it, not having the banner on the talk page like I mentioned makes the project lose visibility of the file. Thanks for being understanding. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 13:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
::: It's been over two years since I followed up on a db-f8 (then db-i8) for the first time, but even now the Commons seems farther away than it is. I think it would be a good idea if a few project members were a little more active there, putting files important to their project on their Commons watchlists. It would be a more direct way to keep track of the files and, over time, could reduce the need to retain local talk pages for them. – [[User:Athaenara|Athaenara]] [[User talk:Athaenara| ✉ ]] 22:00, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
