Hi, Is there a policy discussion somewhere about image removal vs replacement? I fixed the image from Marian Doctrines page by using another, but instead of removing it, is there a better way of admins replacing them? I am no Wiki-experet, but pleas esuggest that to other admins as a policy issue. Thanks History2007 (talk) 05:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
No problem, I usually have no idea what I am talking about either. But in this case, I meant that you removed an image from Marian doctrines of the Catholic Church and I thought it would have been more appropriate if you had replaced it. But no big deal.

Thank you and question
Thanks for blocking that anon regarding the Batman stuff. I have one problem, though. The last edit on the Egghead article contains his garbage stuff he was adding. I want to remove it, but I would then violate WP:3RR. What can/should I do? Unschool (talk) 20:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello
As far as I can tell now, the lemma and notability of the Article AI_effect should be o.k., and so I ask you for restoring the article.

question...
I left a message for the person who tagged Darold W. Killmer for deletion. Can I ask you whether you were aware the nominator didn't see fit to comply with the deletion policies' recommendations that good faith nominators advise article creators when they make a nominations? If you weren't aware can I ask you whether you would still have completed the deletion if you had been aware?

Ulster Defence Regiment
Hi, may I now formally ask for you to lift the page protection at Ulster Defence Regiment? Discussion has died down, the disputed section has been rewritten and the warring editors appear to have desisted. I'm on vacation at the moment and I'd like to do some work on the artilce before returning to my own employment on Monday. I'd be grateful - thank you. The Thunderer (talk) 03:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you. Fingers crossed. The Thunderer (talk) 21:12, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm now getting intervention from here. I'd be interested in your opinion on the subject matter because I personally can't see the logic behind this chap's actions, which I think are well enough intentioned.The Thunderer (talk) 15:11, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Intervention it is an admin removing images inline with policy. Once again you are involved in an edit war, with an admin now, who removed images from your article. I seem to recal that you said you would not engage in any more edit wars so as to avoid a block for edit warring, but yet again you are, and the article is only unprotected. God forbid an editor who trys to change this article to anything that YOU dont like doesnt matter if you are violating policy just a case of I put it there and it stays. BigDuncTalk 17:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
I am not getting involved in this dispute. - Rjd0060 (talk) 17:26, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Firstly: I didn't know the guy was an admin to start with. When I reverted his removal of the images I posted a discussion message on his talk page. Secondly I discussed the mantter with him politely then thirdly realised that the problem could be overcome by using Crown Copyright in stead of Album Cover Rationale. You can clearly see I posted a message here asking for assistance and opinion and kept the other admin up to date as well with what I was doing. So no, I didn't engage in edit warring. I see from your prompt interjection however BigDunc that you're sitting there like a vulture waiting for the first mistake I make. Let me advise you that I have made sometrhing like 700 edits on Wikipedia since the UDR page was protected, just over 100 since the page was unprotected, of which 38 have been on the Ulster Defence Regiment page. I have had no difficulties with anyone in that period until now. Of course I realise that none of this carries any weight with you at all. Being polite, asking for assistance and generally playing the game by the rules and making 750 useful edits doesn't seem to suit your agenda but one little problem and you're right in there. Go ahead then, fill your boots, follow me around like a dog and see how much it affects me. The Thunderer (talk) 17:37, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
No one has challenged any of your edits and when they do, guess what, you editwar, 2 reversions in succession is an edit war. And dont flatter yourself in to thinking that I am sitting like a vulture waiting to correct your mistakes. I could have removed the images when I saw them but left them as I knew as soon as I did the tired old accusations would have came flooding out and as I said I just couldn't be arsed to deal with the nonsense. BigDuncTalk 17:50, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Rjd0060, not withstanding the above I would still appreciate your comments on how I handled the issue of the images. I believe I have sorted it out properly by changing the tags to Crown Copyright and as the admin who removed the images hasn't intervened again I can only assume he accepts that. what do you think? The Thunderer (talk) 17:39, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Once I realised the other editor was an admin I engaged him/her in dialogue and searched for a way round the issue. I discovered that Crown Copyright allowed the use of their published material for educational purposes. I then changed the tags to that of Crown Copyright, non-free and after informing the admin of that, reverted the images back and removed their orphan status. I have not heard from that admin since so can only assume I've done the right thing. If it subsequently transpires I haven't and he/she removes them again then I shall have to follow the policy to protest their removal, find the correct tagging and ask to include them in the article again. Do you think anything I've done in this instance has been improper? I've loaded quite a few images in the last few days but most of them have been simpler "own image-public domain" stuff or where copyright has expired. This is rather a new experience for me. The Thunderer (talk) 17:54, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
May I draw your attention t0 this please? The Thunderer (talk) 17:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, you just deleted my page "televisionary". I'm not questioning your reason for this, i was just wondering if you could let me have a copy of the page so i can re-look at it.

Problem on a page you protected.
You protected the page Wikipedia:Contact_us/Article_problem/Vandalism. I noticed an error on the page, which I've noted on its talkpage here, however no action has been taken yet, so I figured I'd contact you, as the admin who locked it up. (I'm not an admin, so I can't just fix it myself.) It appears that a chunk of text went missing with this edit from June 24. Thanks for your attention. Yilloslime(t) 20:32, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
The problem I see--and maybe I'm just missing something is:
“
Fix the article yourself
Wikipedia is a wiki, so you can edit the content yourself — you don't even need to create an account! We use the term "revert" to refer to
Go to the article and click edit this page near the top.
Never edited before? Read the Introduction to Wikipedia.
If the offending content does not appear when you try to edit, then it has already been fixed. In that case, you don't need to do anything, even to "let us know". Force your Web browser to reload the page with Ctrl-F5, shift-Reload or whatever your browser uses.
”
The "We use the "revert" to refer to" seems be dangling. We use it to refer to...what? I'm not sure what it's supposed to say, but the current version seem very wrong to me, but maybe I'm just missing something. What do you think? Yilloslime(t) 21:46, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Much better! Looks great now. thanks for looking into this. Yilloslime(t) 22:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Burnt Oak Records Deletion
Given that Wikipedia features article on the members of parliament for Yukon, it seems strange that anyone would suggest the deletion of the 'Burnt Oak Records' page in lieu of them being one of the foremost indie labels responsible for the recent surge of musical output in southern Ontario. Moreover: they've received extensive coverage from the music press in Central Canada, and two of their artists (Elbow Beach Surf Club & Richard Laviolette) are apparently noteworthy enough to have pages on Wikipedia created by different parties. Is there any way we can reverse this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.197.156 (talk) 02:49, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Zachary Simons
On August 1 you deleted Zachary Simons as an expired prod. I didn't contest it (despite being the article's creator) because I agreed with the rationale. While I still don't think an independent article is possible, I'd like to undelete the article and salvage its content as part of an article I'm putting together on the Detroit Tigers' minor league organization (currently at User:Mackensen/Detroit Tigers minor league players). I don't think we need the whole machinery of AfD/DRV here, but I wanted to run it by you first before doing anything. Best, Mackensen(talk) 14:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Mikael Ljungman
Recently you elected to keep the article Mikael Ljungman based on no consensus having being reached in the deletion debate. This was despite the fact that the only two Keep votes are from a single purpose account obviously linked with Mikael Ljungman and an account that was created mere minutes before the vote was placed. I fear that the Wikipedia process for avoiding abuse of the encyclopedia for self-promotion by non-notable businesses is no longer effective if policy is now to keep articles such as this where the article's subject can sway the administrators so easily.

I was wondering why you deleted this page. I noticed that you said it was an attack. I bewilders my mind that in the year 2008, people still use sexual preferences as slurs. I am a gay American. I am proud of who I am. I am stunned and appalled that you believe being called gay is an insult. Unfortunately I am only openly gay on Wikipedia. It is people like you that prevent people like me from being who I am.

Hi, I believe you were the admin who protected the above page from editing. It appears the parties involved have resolved their dispute on the talk page, but they don't seem to have notified you (I think the user who said they would has since been banned). Could you now unprotect it so that updates from the 2008 Games can be made? Cheers Basement12(T.C) 00:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of Zero Hour
Hey,
Are you the guy to talk to about the deletion of the Zero Hour article? I had a look into Notability (music) and find that Zero Hour fulfills two of these criteria, namely:
Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
and
Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
Further to this (I'm not sure where to properly reply to things you said on my talk page--is this okay?), I have reviewed the proposed deletion page and I did refer to the notability music page in my text above. I'm not quite sure what sort of work the article needed? The band *is* signed with one of the major independent labels (one of *the* most important labels in the progressive metal niche) and I believe the article stated that? I'm also not sure if I can view the article at all right now while it is deleted. I'm sorry I haven't participated much here on WP and thus don't know a lot of the rules or how these things are usually done. I was just checking the article earlier today to remind myself of the drummer's name and was shocked to find the article gone. So in short: exactly what do I need to do to help undelete the article? --Daniel Klein (talk) 19:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Oh, alright, so: could you please restore the Zero Hour article? And once you have and I have had a look at it, would you mind very much if I came back to you and asked you what sort of edits it needs to survive? (Assuming, of course, the answer to this question will be non-trivial, which I assume it will be.) Thanks! --Daniel Klein (talk) 02:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the restore! I've had a look at WP:MUSIC and the article, but I'm still not sure what I need to do to improve the article because it is my interpretation that it already fulfills the guidelines in that it states that the band is signed with Sensory Records and Sensory Records are definitely one of the major labels in progressive metal. I've asked for help with the Wikiproject Metal guys; I'm also considering to make Zero Hour's importance in Technical Metal (a subject which I notice still doesn't have a page here either) clearer. But I guess my first step will be to wait to hear back from the Wikiproject: Metal guys since they should know best. So I guess this is just to let you know that it might be a few days until I do anything to the article. Thanks! --Daniel Klein (talk) 15:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Please help
User:J Greb is trying to edit war with me again. I uploaded a clearer image of Kristin Wells which more closely follows the Wikipedia guidelines and explained my changes on the talk page, J Greb reverted my edits and told me I was changing the imagae for "changes sake" and when I changed it back after he made no further attempts to talk to me he got a another user to revert it to avoid 3RR. His image is a comic book cover from DC Comics Presents 2, which is cluttered and does not focus on the character the article is about), while mine is an actual image of Kristen Wells herself with the backgorund removed. You were very helpful when J Greb edit warred with me over the Psylocke image, and I would appreciate your assitance again. It is frustrating when I am following the guidelines for main images, and he steadfastly refuse to discuss why he "feels the prevoius image gve her more 'context'" and won't allow an image that the wiki rules state is preffered. thank you for any help you can offer.

Would it be possible to have New England Railroad be a redirect to point to the New York and New England Railroad article? The company was a significant railroad that made the last attempt to compete with the large and powerful NYNH&H in the late 19th century and it seems the redirect would help rail history readers find the relevant information in an article about the subject matter. 164.55.254.106 (talk) 20:56, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Maybe you can restore most of the streets articles that were posted that are from Patras. This time, the article may be tidied and also by some users. On these restorations, one example, the street title on the top and the first sentences, then on the bottom Intersections or Notable intersections. And all articles that will be restored will be tidied. Thank you. My translating skills are improving. Some of the articles I will write will not be translated. Another, this will be avoided by some users which lack the ability to write. Pumpie (talk) 02:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

You don't understand on some parts. Okay when you restore most of the street article, keep the first sentence only like: is a street in Patras or that runs in the city of Patras, the street name meanings are kept and intersections are kept. I know that downtown streets of that city will be restored. I also visited the city many times, that's where I know those street names and some information, one example is Riga Fereou which runs from the north down to Papaflessa between Agios Andreas and Maizonos Street, do you know?

Hey, how is one Good Faith keep argument with no reasoning, against 4 Competent Delete arguments grounds for no consensus? - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 23:19, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Ahh, the old, some people are of differing opinions, so forget who has the stronger argument and close it... good way to make sure nothing happens. As for assuming good faith, I did indeed assume good faith, and the poster confirmed in a response that he had made his point in bad faith, which should of course be up to you to judge. I also didn't count a delete argument because it offered no reasoning, and I wasn't offering numbers as a show of votes, but because there was a clear consensus in favour of delete and the community has to wait until it's considered "proper" to put it up for an AfD again. - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 23:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Deleted something that should have been kept!!! - Towns in RSK
Hello, you have disrupted a perfectly viable and just wikipedia page. The link is, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towns_in_the_Former_RSK . You seem to put some rational for its deletion there. However, if you even bothered to read the rational that you put, you will see many faulty things. That rational link that you provide shows clearly that the page should stay. The rational link agrees that the category should be deleted, and it was deleted a long time ago. However, it clearly says that the towns should be listified as they have been in that topic. Why did you delete this topic then? That talk/debate was about the category, and the decision was to keep it as a topic. You are disrupting wikipedia! Please put that topic back as soon as possible. (LAz17 (talk) 02:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC))
Hi, Rjd0060.
I've restored the tag for the speedy deletion on this article Towns_in_the_Former_RSK.
Please, see the talkpage Talk:Towns_in_the_Former_RSK#Article_needs_to_be_deleted (it's the summary of the discussion on WP:CFD, see link there).
Keeping that article is ordinary evasion of the results of the discussion on the deletion of the category (category, created by the same user; articles were categorized, beside others, with few sockpuppets). Delete (15 votes), keep (7 votes), delete and listify (6 votes). 15 is more than 7+6. Please, we must respect the results.
Otherwise, what are we getting into? Towns in the former Third Reich?
I repeat again. When LAz17 saw that he's about to lose in voting on the deletion of category, he created the article. Kubura (talk) 06:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Can you please restore that page to my user space at User:Paulmcdonald/Simon F. Pauxtis so I can work on the article for re-submission? --Paul McDonald (talk) 21:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
I think we're ready to ask for you (the deleting administrator) to restore the article based on changes and new information found. If choose not to restore it, then I request that the article go to deletion review. Sure, the article could use cleanup and editing, but I believe that we've overcome notability and verifiability--so I'd like to get the article back into Wikipedia for other editors to collaborate. If you choose to restore the article, can you do so from the updated article in my workspace/sandbox?--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:11, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I see that you deleted Okular as non notable, but it's a very notable software, it's the document viewer of KDE 4, it was in the google summer of code (that selects few important free software projects to help them), it is included in all the linux distributions. It was even a successful story of openusability http://season.openusability.org/index.php/2007/09/30/success-stories-07-okular/
it meets all the criteria for the Project:Notability_(software) guidelines, almost every computer site that talked about kde 4 covered okular too since it was one of the main new features of kde 4.
To complicate things the article was recreated after deletion but it's very small now and without references. --Argento3 (talk) 01:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I am a fan of Astyplaz who created their page on Wikipedia and I have noticed that it was recently deleted. I cannot fully understand the reasons that you have produced for this action of yours. I daily run into hundreds of other articles about bands or individuals that are literally "self-advertising" to a pretty high degree (there are so many cases in point!). I really do stand aghast – what was the error, or the omission? And, my question is, how can someone’s biographical page/article/post get a space on wikipedia without being characterized as “non-notable” or “a self-advertisement”?
I do hope that you will take my protest into consideration and expect to have an answer soon. My request is the page’s restoration.

New troubles.
Hi there!
There are some new problems in the article of Religion in China between some users (me and Abstrakt) with a Muslim user, Editingman about the private template of Islam in China which should not added to the main article of Religion in China because this article is only a shortened summary of many different religions in China, not only Islam. Read the current discussion here for more details. As I can see that you've added a warning to Editingman for his edit war in the same article before [5]. I hope you could help to justify for NPOV. Thank you and best of luck to you.

Etiquetting
Hi, Rjd0060.
This discussion took event two weeks ago, on September 29 and 30. I've stayed away from this discussion, ignoring the provocations and inflammatory messages, trying not to make things worse.
How would you describe this kind of language [7]?
Opponent in the discussion, that defends "its" article, draws this kind of language ("Ustashe (croat nazi fascists)", "The Croats want to complete the genocide on the serbs by deleting all our Krajina pages", "the start of a bigger project aimed at the erradication of anything to do with Krajina. "...)
Instead of staying inside the topic, user LAz17 uses the talkpage for propagandism, general discussion, etiquetting, personal attacks. He ignored several rules here, WP:CIVIL, WP:NPA, WP:ETIQ.
User SWik78 warned him about his behaviour [8]. Instead of improving, user LAz17 made things worse.
In his reply [9] he said "is well known that Croatia's president was a fascist, " , "they are the most fascist country in Europe in various ways" (???) ...
After etiquetting the users, he continued with throwing the mud on whole country and its inhabitants, using the etiquette like "fascist". This is not "who spilled the milk". Of course, he never bothered for giving references for so heavy accusations. All his argumentation is contained in words "it's well known". So encyclopedic, isn't it.
LAz17's message [[10]. "they're just a bunch of extremist nationalists". He obviously thought that we'd applaude to territorial conquest of our own country. Since we weren't happy with that, he immediately declared us (Croatians) as extreme nationalists.
SWik78 warned him about that on the talkpage. Since LAz17 reacted, it's obvious that he saw the message and that he's informed about warning. LAz17 is long enough here, since Jan 31 2007, he's supposed to know the rules. However, LAz17 remained unpunished [11]. Kubura (talk) 07:47, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
the Jason Anderson page was deleted but he meets the guidelines
I know meeting the guidelines doesn't guarantee that an artist will not be deleted but Jason Anderson(a.k.a. wolf colonel) is way popular so I don't know why he was deleted except for the reason listed on the deleted page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Anderson. Since you listed he fails WP:Music I figured I would object.
guidelines he meets
A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
5)Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
Jason is signed on K records and has released 2 or more albums on K Records. K records is/has been home to people like Beck, Modest Mouse, Mirah, and Bikini Kill. In fact Jason is the only artist listed on wikipedia's K Records page who doesn't have an article!
1)It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
Jason has been artist of the day on Spin.com
http://www.spin.com/articles/jason-anderson
He has been written up by plenty of magazines/papers but I guess this one is the most "national." I would mention more but I don't know exactly what you would call non trivial. Would a large regional paper count? Cause he has that.
10)Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article.)
As Spin.com notes "He has drummed with several bands, including Yume Bitsu, the Microphones, and Son, Ambulance."
I don't know how to put this at the bottom of the page- I just signed up for an account to dispute this.

18XX games
I think the deletion of List of 18XX games was a mistake. Unlike other game articles or Wikipedia lists, the separate 18XX game articles had been combined into this list because of their similarities, and the base articles had been deleted. Without the list there is no record of these games at all on Wikipedia. Maybe the mistake was calling it a "list" and not an 18XX game article, which is what it was. --Jcbutler (talk) 06:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Woe to the bandwidth-challenged
This is a personal lament. Although I understand the need to clean articles up (for space and other reasons), it is still regrettable that articles that were written but not maintained for lack of Internet access fall prey to accusations (notability or original research) which cannot be rebutted in time to prevent quasi-automatic deletion.

Question about my handling of suspicious multiple account requests. (WP:ACC)
Dear Rjd0060: I wanted to ask you about my handling of a situation involving multiple account requests in a suspicious way. I am unsure as to whether how I handled the requests was proper and was hoping you could advise me and tell me if my reasoning was sound. I am referring to requests 16537, created by me, and 16536, created by another accountcreator. I noticed both of these requests came in right in a row, from the same IP, but from email addresses that were different but only slightly so. It had the feel of an abusive attempt to create multiple accounts, whether as sockpuppets or to later vandalize with I could not say, but it also could have been nothing. I, of course, also wanted to assume good faith. One of the accounts had already been created. I realized that, if the effort was abusive I could create the account but still short circuit the abuse by linking the accounts with a template or talk page message, and figured if the user was legit such a thing would do no harm. So, I created the second account and left a message on both talk pages linking the accounts. The note said nothing more than that the accounts were closely related. (Diffs [14], [15].) While I gave out no privileged information, I find myself concerned that I may have gone too far with even what I did do. Did I? If so, what do you think I should have done? ⇔ ∫ÆSdt @ 11:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Request to restore Judicial Shamanism article
Hallo Ryan,
I'd like to request to restore this article. It is quite unfaire that someone can delete an article without giving a reason. You wrote "The cited sources don't use this term." - THIS IS NONSENSE. Do you what to say that professor Jean Baudrillard does not use the word "shamanism"? Ryan, did you ever read anything of Jean Baudrillard? No, you did not. Do you want to say that professor Rodell does not use term "high-class mumbo-jumbo"? Yes, he does. Do you want to say that professor Pierre Legendre does not use term of "shamanism" in the book "Le desir politique de Dieu"? Ryan, did you ever hold this book in your hands before writing this? No, you did not. Concerning professor Duncan Kennedy from Harvard - of course he uses this term. I do not think that you would ever read anything of professor Duncan Kennedy.
For more information visit the British Library http://direct.bl.uk/bld/PlaceOrder.do?UIN=211909788&ETOC=RN&from=searchengine , read the paper of professor Rolandas Pavilionis http://www.paksas.lt/ci.admin/Editor/assets/Tauta_03.pdf , take a look at the abstracts of the World Congress of Philosophy of Law http://www.law.uj.edu.pl/ivr2007/Abstracts_SW.pdf

Thank you for your reply.
I have repeatedly tried to engage the other person in discussion, on talk:Zoot, but they refuse to AGF, refuse to discuss the matter, refuse to answer any questions, and refuse to address the issues I raise. Further, there history seems to suggest they enjoy making points and editwarring. His edits are unpredictable and inconsistent, and he chops and changes in his decisions on which parts of the MoS he is going to follow or ignore, and when, and contradicts himself. I am attempting to discuss the matter and address the issues he raises,but don't seem to be having any success. Further, I have made a number of compromises, but he refuses to entertain the idea of compromise. (Or even the idea of discussion, for that matter.)
I would very much appreciate your advice on how I should proceed with this matter.

I notice the water's getting a bit hot here, but I do see the logic behind your block. The resulting discussion shows that the community is not quite on board with blocking for edit-warring that doesn't surpass 3RR, when the person blocked is a long-time good contributor. It's my impression that MBisanz was careful to give symmetrical warnings to all the participants in the war. If blocks are ruled out as a possible remedy, it's not clear how WP:Edit war is going to be enforced in non-3RR situations. To be continued, probably :-) EdJohnston (talk) 21:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Tiptoety, acting in "good faith" means to give people warnings first. There is a rule called WP:AGF, which this block violates. There was no warning. There was no assuming of Good Faith.

Melrose Golf Club
You seem to have deleted this page for no apparent reason, could you please explain yourself. If you cannot provide good reason I will have to report you to an administrator as someone who is abusing their powers. I have reas some of the postings below and it seems this is not the first time you have behaved inappropriately.
You are heading towards having your account blocked. (unsigned comment by 78.86.212.2)
It was an expired WP:PROD and the deletion was over a month ago. Also, you just vandalized ([16]) Melrose, Scottish Borders. Please don't do that. --Apoc2400 (talk) 14:31, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Normally I would be more than happy to help you, and restore the deleted article as the proposed deletion policy allows, but since you have come here and left this uncivil comment, along with threats, you will have to find another administrator because I don't have the motivation to help you.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Aimé. M.. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedy-deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -- IRP☎ 18:47, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
Also, can you please restore the Aime. M. redirect? -- IRP☎ 00:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Dear sir, I have seen that you deleted this page because it was advertising of a non-notable product. I respect your judgement but I kindly disagree. I wanted to provide an interesting link for people who look for simulation programs. The program described in this page is open source and hence completely free. It is been used as the development program (among other places) in the (USA) NSF digital library comPADRE for hundreds of simulations there, and the number of (free) users worldwide is large and growing. Easy Java Simulations is also mentioned in another page of Wikipedia, and I thought it a good reason to add an extended entry for it. Finally, it is easy to find entries in Wikipedia of products of similar scope and importance, which was the reason why I felt encouraged to create this page. (Please, excuse if I do not cite examples here.) For all these reasons, I dare to ask you to reconsider the deletion. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.121.78.163 (talk) 09:14, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
From WOCHRISTIAN:
Disclosure: I am an EJS collaborator and have worked with the EJS author for many years to enhance EJS to meet physics curriculum modeling and authoring needs.
Although EJS is not yet as well known as older modeling tools, such as Matlab and Mathematica, it is GNU GPL and has a respectable international user base. See for example, the National Taiwan Normal University website <http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/> and the comPADRE National Digital Library < http://www.compadre.org/osp/ >. In addition, there is a Spanish language EJS book and there are plans for an English Language EJS book. There are have been a number of research papers that use EJS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wochristian (talk • contribs) 14:30, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Manchester Warrior
Manchester Warrior (talk·contribs) is requesting that the autoblock on his IP be lifted. How long has the abuse been going on? I don't want to straight-up deny him unless there has been some real long-term vandalism from that IP. Blueboy96 13:57, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Following message is from "Manchester Warrior"...
Hi Rjd00060,
Would you re-consider your decision as regards the autoblock?
What I am asking for is edit rights but only when logged in using my "Manchester Warrior" non-de-plume on IP 194.203.201.92.
I seem to have been caught up in the cross-fire caused by some other person (or persons) using IP 194.203.201.92 being involved in an edit war.
Have therefore set up my "Manchester Warrior" user name (N.B. Whilst I have used this "nom-de-plume" elsewhere, it's "new" to Wikipedia) as a possible work-around solution to the problem of anonymous postings under IP 194.203.201.92 having been blocked.
This articles was deleted but i dont fully understand the reason for the deletion. id like to know the reason for the deletion of this article and how it differs with our other article Christopher Stweart (music producer)? and can this article be recreated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babiboy (talk • contribs) 22:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Nealante'
Yes i understand but this is the same article you deleted on october 15. the article that you are saying was violated came from the article you deleted that we created. on october 15 why did you delete this article and how can we fix the problem? and again how does it differ with our other article that has not been deleted [[Christopher
stweart (music producer)]]? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babiboy (talk • contribs) 23:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
00:43, 15 October 2008 Rjd0060 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Nealante'" (Deleted because expired WP:PROD; Reason given: non-notable musician, fails WP:MUSIC.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Babiboy (talk • contribs)
So can this article be recreated? And if not why? Babiboy (talk) 00:17, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
Looks like I must have made another edit while you were carrying out the edit request. Can you sync this to the sandbox again? Thanks! Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 19:36, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
RfA thanks
The RfA Barnstar
Rjd0060, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help. Once again, thank you for your participation, and have a great day! :) TheHelpfulOne 22:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Account creation
Thanks very much for the pointer and also for creating that account - I realised after I'd closed it that I'd forgotten to check the account creation date. Then I did and groaned :) Should one of us drop request #17158? Same IP but different email and two previous accounts created. Cheers, Paxse (talk) 15:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
You sure? This diff [17] is from the same IP a week ago... Paxse (talk) 15:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Edit undone. - Rjd0060 (talk) 21:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
