An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Time Cube. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Time Cube (3rd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I left some comments on Talk:Vietnamese view of health and illness and utilization of health care. Just wondering if the content of the article could be reused in some way (rewritten, edited, sourced?), since it could be used to beef up the Health in Vietnam article, which is pretty short right now. Your comments would be much appreciated, as dealing with OR isn't my area of expertise! --dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 15:07, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:2005 Bali Bombers Heads JP.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 17:33, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

YOUR DELETION OF KOKU ADOMDZA RECORD
YOU ARE LISTED AS THE ADMINISTRATOR WHO DELETED THIS SUBMISSION TODAY WITH FACTUAL BACKING.
YOU HAVE LEFT NO REASON FOR DELETION OF SUBSTANTIVE RECORD THAT WOULD BOOST THE APPEAL OF WIKIPEBIA TO A WIDER AUDIENCE AND IS COMPARABLE TO A LOT OF OTHER ENTRIES IN ON WIKIPIDEA.
PLEASE EXPLAIN YOUR ACTION TO DELETE WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH A VIEW TO RESOLVE.
MANY THANKS,
DUNAMISPOWER.
SUBMISSION ON KOKU ADOMDZA
Thanks for your response to initial enquiry.
May I make the following corrections:
1]- There are over 42 references at the end of this submission. Please clarify. 2]- Your suspicion is baseless as the submission was not copied from anywhere. You mean you base a decision to delete a submission on your suspicion? Un-believable. 3]- Use of capitals in headings is commonplace ad in any event a minor matter - simply to be rectified by changing caps to Title wording; and does not form part of the basis for deletion. Please clarify. 4]- The words used are descriptions of fact as the subject of the article is a world expert on subjects mentioned.
Perhaps, your extreme decision is motivated by other reasons unmentioned, if so please table them.
Before submission, there was a trough of wikipedia and the submission made today, is not too much different.
I would ask you to consider immediate reinstatement as there is no need to enter into a long drawn out tussle to contribute to 'the people's' encyclopaedia for which reason we so generously donate.
Many thanks,
Dunamispower —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunamispower (talk • contribs) 19:27, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
YOUR DELETION OF ARTICLE ON KOKU ADOMDZA
Your second feedback is acknowledged. Your taking back of misrembering that there were references,including books, and web links to source documents is noted. Similarly, yout taking back of the submission meeting the 'immediate deletion criteria is also noted.
I'll make not comment about your 'unfounded doubts' about the authorship of the article, or the insinuation for that matter.
Having eliminated the above, as part of a problem-solving methodology, it appears your main problem is style or format of presentation no matter how factual [neutrality, peacokish terminology]. It is proposed to rework the submission based on this specific of your concerns to resolve. Please advise to whose attention the reworked version should be made to, if applicable.
In alternative, please advise.
Meantime, may I suggest that you reinstate the submission, declassify it from 'subject to immediate deletion', pending review.
May I also reiterate, that prior to publication, there was an extensive trough on wikipedia and the submission is no different from several others of its character. Further, wikipedia is what it is because of the generous donations and contributions that we make and therefore its administration needs to take this into account.
Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunamispower (talk • contribs) 21:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
You deleted How to say 1 in greek as "Complete non-topic, Wikipedia is not a dictionary". I'm not requesting undeletion; I just have a question. I am under the impression that any article that does not meet WP:CSD must be either prodded or brought to AfD. Is your speedy deletion of this article proper? Protector of Wiki (talk) 08:05, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- On second thought, I think your speedy deletion WAS improper. WP:NOTCSD states that "Reasons based on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not" are not "sufficient to justify speedy deletion". Protector of Wiki (talk) 08:08, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
YOUR RAPID DELETION OF SUBMISSION ON KOKU ADOMDZA
Hi, this your reponses are not being helpful in the sense that they are becoming very confusing, perhaps you'd be kind enough to clarify. May I humbly submit the following:
1- Is is the standard as you state the as an Administrator, you can delete outright, submissions based on your OPINION and BELIEF? Please confirm.
2- Quality of English - I am not inclined to make comment on your quality of English language.
3- Even more confusing, you keep citing a different topic from what I wrote on.
4- My understanding is that Wikipedia guidelines are no rocket science nor rule of thumb, but principally guidelines. Even then, neutrality is not properly defined from excellence or facts.
5- Thanks for a possible way forward, if considered worth the while of equiping encyclopaedic knowledge for public benefit.
6- To your information, your rash and harsh decision, has led to my account being blocked under some irrelevant pretext, since my username is pretty much distinct and does in no way suggest group identity. It appears a trend of exclusion is emerging - from outright deletion to account blockage.
I look forward to a speedy resolution with you in the first place, prior to resorting to other grievance channels you suggested even before attempting to resolve.
Thanks

Help upgrade M734 Fuze rating
Mike Rosoft...back in 2005 you rated the M734 Fuze article as Stub-Class.
- I stumbled on the article in July 2010 and noted a request for contributions.
- I was the Branch Chief at the US Army Harry Diamond Labs that transitioned the Fuze out of R&D and did the first production run.
- I modified the article, and editor Rcbutcher recommended reducing the technical language to a training manual for an Army Sergeant.
- This was done. In addition, the article has been lengthened, pictures have been added, all components of the fuze have been
- addressed, unique features identified, references added, external links corrected, history added, and the next generation fuze
- identified.
It was reviewed 565 times in September 2010. Could you please review the article and upgrade the rating to G?

Golden age
I understand your rationale, but there is no golden age of relativity. There are no sources which support this topic. I even did some minor copy editing to take this "golden age" out of the text before the merge. Hence, it is someone's made up topic from a point of view. Therefore, it needs to be deleted. Does this make sense? ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 06:12, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
- Also I refered to the edit history of the recent previous edit: "This article appears to be WP:SYN , it appears to be mostly a commentary expressing someone's point of view. Hence, copy edit and then merge to History of general relativity. Add {{noreferences}} and {{cleanup}} to timeline section."

Reverted edits to Dan Savage entry
Whilst I understand that this page it probably subject to a large number a vandalism attacks, my edit was, in my opinion a valid one. The oxford English dictionary defines husband as "a married man in relation to his wife" therefore Terry cannot be defined as Mr. Savage's husband without defining Mr. Savage as a wife. Unfortunately the language has not yet evolved to handle this type of marriage and I believe that Wikipedia is not the forum through which language should evolve.

It is a fraud. It is ineffective yet it is sold as being effective. It is the most salient fact about the subject and deserves to be the lead in the article. The science is clear.

Hi there - the history of this matter makes me have some sympathy for the blocked user. It is not at all clear that this is a reversion of vandalism justifying the use of rollback and a vandalism warning. That may have triggered his - admittedly unacceptable - personal attack. The IP made three edits - the first with no edit summary, the second with a helpful edit summary, and it was on the third - after two apparently unjustified rollbacks - that he cracked. I'm not defending him, but perhaps it affects the atmospherics of the situation that led him to be blocked? --Mkativerata (talk) 19:24, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Just to let you know I undid your reversion to Amish as it was not vandalism; it seemed to be a good-faith attempt to split the article, albeit without prior discussion. Part was moved to Amish way of life. Since Amish way of life will also need to be deleted if the information is put back into the Amish article, it's probably best to discuss the split in talk for now and establish consensus on whether the article should be split, and how a split should be performed.

Hi. I see you turned down my speedy deletion tag on this redirect, with the edit summary "not vandalism", but G3 is not just for vandalism, it's for hoaxes as well. It probably would have been helpful to you if the person who created the redirect hadn't removed my explanation from the tag, which was:
Probable hoax or deliberate crude humor: Ghits all track back to one article, which seems to be referring to a larger animal, not a bird.
This is the case. A Google search for "Caucasian black cock" turns up essentially one hit, with several copies and mirrors, and that article clearly refers to a large terrestrial animal, not to a bird, such as the grouse. There is, in fact, no evidence at all that the caucasian grouse is called the "caucasian black cock". Since the editor involved, User:MrsSunDoesntShine has made questionable edits to several articles, I believe it's possible that "Caucasian black cock" may be an attempt at humor, or a hoax. I would ask you to reconsider the speedy deletion. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:48, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Committed identity
Hi, I noticed that your template gives your committed identity algorithm as SHA-512, but that your string is only 160 bits — I'm guessing it's really SHA-1? The default algorithm was changed to 512 a while back due to concerns about the continued security of SHA-1. Cheers, Feezo (Talk) 19:06, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
