Indonesian paper maker company

Yeah maybe - the thing is it looked like a gonna put this in regardless - but not sure which way to go on this stuff - many times we get the fly by once indonesian eds who drop something and we never see them again - the persistence of this one is interesting - paid placement?

Speedy deletion of page in progress

I'd like to know your reasons for the speedy deletion of an entry under construction on the user page of Vanvance. He tells me he had entered content and was in the process of editing the entry when it was deleted without discussion. This was a project that he was doing for a class project at the University of Kansas in which student editors are creating Wikipedia entries relevant to the topics of pseudoscience, pseudohistory, and pseudoarchaeology. You can read more about the assignment on my own talk page. Why was an entry in progress on a user page deleted without any discussion? Hoopes (talk) 16:35, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't in his userspace, it was in the mainspace as \Jacob Glass. The / was the wrong way round. It was also empty apart from an image link to an image that doesn't exist. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. --Stephen 21:59, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Taïkan Jyoji

Hi Stephen, the page "Taïkan Jyoji" i wrote has been deleted. I would like to contest this deletion because this was just the traduction of the french wikipage which, this one, was accepted by the french wikipedia. Furthermore, the informations on this page are usefull to anyone is interested in zen information, practice or history so it has a true encyclopedic goal and use. Mr Jyoji is also considered as a writer, and many books of him has been edited. We can also see him as a pionneer of the zen practice in Europe. We can easily find an encyclopedic and informative contribution in this article. The French wikipedia did it. Please reconsider the article.

My RFA

I knew after the first two opposes this was a doomed to failure as my flunking dug an early grave, but I've considered this again and again and wanted to know what my weak points on the project were. I hoped my experiance in the prject would net a few supports, but my IAR knowledge did me in. I closed the RFA, it was a classic WP:SNOW but now I know what my weak points are. –BuickCenturyDriver 04:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Eyeless (band)

Hello, I noticed the discography was missing some information, so I helped and contributed some information. After adding the track listing to their page, to my surprise, I saw a notice that claims you deleted their whole band page. Is this not "Wikipedia Vandalism?" I feel really bad because it is obvious many people had put much work into their page. Please write back. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RobVanWinkle (talk • contribs) 02:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Have a look at WP:BAND to give you some idea about what we require for a band's achievements to be considered for inclusion. --Stephen 02:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Abuse of speedy deletion

Please do not abuse speedy deletion by using it to delete articles with reliable sourcing, as you did on Today sponge. Please use WP:AfD for articles with sourcing. Jokestress (talk) 07:53, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Notability

Please restore the article on Paul Tierney. It included substantial referencing that established notability without a shadow of a doubt. If you want to dispute that someone covered in long articles and numerous book sources isn't notable please take it to AfD. I don't think it's useful to say "Paul Tierney is a very notable..." but if you think that's helpful go for it. Certainly there is plenty of room for expansion.

SDO Network

Hi Stephen, The SDO Network page has been deleted. Please can you let me know if I can create it under this username with the same text? It is not advertising and the network is part of the NHS Confederation which has its page on wikipedia.

thanks for deleting my page. you are awesome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blastingconcept805 (talk • contribs) 01:53, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Care to explain...

your misuse of rollback? [1] Goodvac (talk) 05:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

"being discussed at AfD" is not a reason to decline speedy deletion. Articles nominated for deletion at AfD are often speedily deleted. There's no need to continue with the discussion when a CSD applies. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dion Albanese for an example. {{db-web}} clearly applies here because there is no assertion of notability. Being on YouTube and Facebook with a "small fan-following" is not remotely notable. Goodvac (talk) 05:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I chose not to bypass the deletion discussion. --Stephen 05:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Why should a page that violates Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion remain in existence longer than it should? Since it meets CSD, speedily deleting it would be uncontroversial and save us the hassle of AfD. Goodvac (talk) 06:17, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletions can be removed at any time without discussion. An AfD allows the creator a reasonable amount of time to produce the required references. The world will not end if it takes 7 days to delete the article. --Stephen 09:58, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't mind that you rolled back my talkback message here (since I myself frequently remove them), but I'd like to point out that per WP:ROLLBACK, you should only use it in cases of obvious vandalism. The case above you could've manually removed the tag and used an edit summary; likewise with your removal of my tb. Strange Passerby (talk • contribs) 12:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

austen04

Hello, I noticed that you recently deleted a page on a band known as Sudden Suspensio., I think that the band is of some importance because I have seen some media coverage on them recently as well as heard many good things. Also I would quite appreciate it if you could restore the page as the fact that I was not done editing it, and it was my first page so give me a chance to atleast finish it please. -Austen 3:35pm Tuesday November 16th —Preceding unsigned comment added by Austen04 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Why Did You Delete my Account and My Pages?? I've worked with other Admins on this!

Why did you delete my account and my created pages? I've worked very diligently with other Wikipedia admins to ensure the content of my pages is consistent with Wikipedia guidelines, and now all that work has been deleted...I work for a variety of companies who want to utilize Wikipedia to give content about their company, and NOT USE IT AS A MARKETING RESOURCE. I've worked with admins to make sure this is the case, but now everything has been deleted. I've put considerable time and effort into creating these pages and working with others to make sure they are correct and now all that work is gone.

I'm fine with updating the pages to be more fitting of the guidelines if you believe I need to. Just please reestablish my account and help me be a continuing contributor to the community. This is part of my job, and losing these pages is very detrimental, especially since others have previously approved them. Jmlnarik01 (talk) 21:01, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

• Stephen - Can you give me a chance to reestablish these pages? I was modeling these pages after various other company based Wikipedia pages, and would like to have them back up. Like I previously noted, this is part of my job, and I really need to have these pages established for the companies I work with I can make any updates that are necessary, just let me know. Jmlnarik01 (talk) 00:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I may restore them to your userspace to work on. Have you read the guidelines at WP:ORG regarding what we require for a company article? If you are being paid then you have a serious conflict of interest, which is going to prevent you from writing in a neutral fashion. Do you wish to disclose more fully what your exact role is regarding these companies? --Stephen 04:22, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

• Hi Stephen - I've read through the guidelines, thanks for providing them for me. I work with a variety of companies to further establish their online presence. My goal is to further validate the reputability of each company by listing them in a variety of sources, with my top sources being Wikipedia. I've let them know that I need to write from a neutral point of view due to Wikipedia's standards of conduct, and that is 100% fine by them. I just want to provide historical and educational information about each company without "selling" anything. I'm not a real sales-y kind of guy, so it's not a problem for me :) Can you restore my userspace so I can clean these articles up? I would be happy to have you review before I publish. Jmlnarik01 (talk) 19:49, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Hi Stephen - Will you restore my userspace so I may update my deleted Wikipedia pages? I'm happy to update them so they fit within the guidelines. Jmlnarik01 (talk) 18:42, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

I've restored your two articles to User:Jmlnarik01/Rhino Rack and User:Jmlnarik01/Trainer's Choice --Stephen 01:49, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

• • Thank you very much Stephen. I really appreciate it. I'll work on cleaning them up this month Jmlnarik01 (talk) 18:06, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
    • Stephen - Can you also restore my Hosa Technology page? I saw that this is also one that you deleted. Thanks!

Restored to User:Jmlnarik01/Hosa Technology. --Stephen 02:11, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

• So disappointed that all these Product Propaganda pages are being allowed back in. In the case of the "riding gear" store, what possible interest could the mass public have in a 30 person business. If the company wants to "increase interest" in their product, they should hire a marketing person, or take out ads. This is disappointing. Very disappointing.

Idiots and rascals

You recently deleted 3 Rascals. It was recreated with the unwieldy title 3 rascals prefix:Wikipedia:Deletion review, and I have moved it to 3 rascals, whence it redirects to 3 Idiots; there is now a cited sentence there about the forthcoming remake. I note that the proper title, with a capital 'R' is salted, so this is just a heads-up in case you want to do anything about any of this!
I hope there are no further remakes in the pipeline but will keep an eye out for 3 scoundrels, 3 knobheads etc. pablo 12:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Quick question: why has this article not been speedied? I thought that albums by artists that don't have a Wikipedia article were automatically candidates for speedy deletion? -- role^player 12:41, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

It had already been speedied and then restored by another admin (who I think had added the album cover.) Not wanting to get into a wheel war this should be sent to AfD. --Stephen 21:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

You would be well aware of this discussion --Stephen 00:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Stephen seems you didn't bother to read the dates. That particular discussion was in March and I was told to post the article again when I provide a notable link quoting the script. Earlier this November I found a link and posted it and discussion weren't even started and you just deleted it even though I put a hold on notice. Now please restore the article if you failed to research properly. That's kind of misuse of power.

I can read dates perfectly well. You may do well to drop your attitude. Please point me to where you were told that if you came up with just one link you could repost your article without any issue. Stephen 05:28, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh so there has to be SEVERAL links now? Does providing notability proof require thousands of links? I seem to have not come across where it says so on wikipedia. mini4me 17:40, 15 December 2010 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mini4me (talk • contribs)

No, you are misunderstanding. Above you stated that "I was told to post the article again when I provide a notable link quoting the script." Please point me to where you were told that and by whom. No-one said anything about SEVERAL or thousands of links. --Stephen 22:04, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

The main talk page containing the information was deleted with the article but I found something that indirectly refers to the same issue. """# Delete, spam, and fails notability.

Neuron Games, Inc. Deleted? Why?

Greetings Stephen,

We are writing in regards to deletion of the article "Neuron Games" and its redirect "Neuron Entertainment". We reviewed the CSD A7 statute, but still do not understand the reasoning of it's deletion. One of the only things missing on the page was a logo in the company info box which is in the request process. Neuron Games is an S-Corporation and has been in business for more than a decade now. Please let us know what we need to do in order to restore this article. Thank you.

We also reviewed this article, and feel that this situation most certainly applies. wikipedia's CSD_A7_survey

Sincerely,
Neuron Games, Inc.

The article "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant." Have a look at WP:ORG about what we expect about an article about a company. --Stephen 09:55, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

We did, before we posted the article even. We are not sure how or why we indicate we are notable. People can use Google and clearly see we are. Here is a small list of why we are notable. Some of this will be added to the article.

1. Live interview with Neuron Games from Intel (time condensed)
2. Intel recently spent a great deal of money for a promotional white paper for Neuron found here The Brains Behind the Games (PDF for print, takes a little time to download)

1. Neuron Games has been on the front page of the Biz section of the Gazette Telegraph (2 additional pages)
2. Neuron Games has been on the front page of the "Wall Street" section of the Rocky Mountain News
3. We have been in the Associated press numerous times with articles in other publication and newspapers (Denver Post, Chicago Sun, London Tribune....others we never saw)
4. Neuron Games has been Interviewed on numerous podcasts and television such as KKTV, News 13 in Colorado and ran a nation wide commercial for "Filbert Fledgling" in 2003
5. Neuron has also been in countless game review sites and development sites.
6. The Super Cortex engine we have developed is the core technology in several on going game development projects both for the PC and Microsoft Xbox 360.

I can go on and on. So I don't see that we are not notable. The article is a work in progress and needs to be fleshed out if it is not ready for public viewing than how can we work on it if you delete it? Please restore this article for us.

Thank You Stephen :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Randy of Neuron (talk • contribs) 23:57, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

MetaPirate article deletion

It says that you deleted the article about the hacker alias MetaPirate because of "CSD A7" (An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant). Perhaps you're unfamiliar with the shut down of LimeWire by the RIAA ? If you are, then perhaps you're unfamiliar with the recent launch of LimeWire Pirate Edition ? Because if you were, you'd realize that MetaPirate has had the RIAA throwing a complete kanipshit over the entire situation. Hiding behind 7 proxies, his identity is a complete mystery to the authorities trying to hunt him down, as he is being accused of violating a court order against LimeWire. And he's doing all of this so that he can supply the music downloading community with a better version of LimeWire Pro that is 100% completely free of charge, ads, spyware, and malware. It took the RIAA 4 years and millions of dollars to shut down LimeWire, and in two weeks he has it up and running even better than it was before. In the hacking and pirating community, he is iconic, not irrelevant, as you claim with your CSD A7. In my opinion, if a talentless idiot like Justin Bieber can get a lengthly Wikipedia write-up, MetaPirate's achievements should surely be recognized. I truly hope that you reconsider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.95.177 (talk) 10:09, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

So someone, with the help of others, cracks some software and puts in on the web for download? You must have a different meaning of 'iconic' than I do. At best this should be a section in the LimeWire article. And regarding Bieber, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is never a valid argument against deletion. --Stephen 22:28, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Bar Fiasco Deletion

Please note, Bar Fiasco, the researchers' bar at the European University Institute does, in fact, exist. Its legal status, however, is debatable, since it is situated on the premises of an International Organization, the European University Institute [2], which is founded on an international convention [3]. We would like to recreate our page on Bar Fiasco - in fact, when it was tagged for speedy deletion, we began supplementing the references with a number of additional sources, and are in the process of adding to them further. Unfortunately, some of the information in the article is based on individual testimonies which are unavailable online.

Our intention in writing (in the original version of the article) "it does not exist" was a slightly tongue-in-cheek reference to its disputed legal status. We are happy to clarify that in a future version of the article. --EUILampoonEUILampoon 12:27, 24 November 2010 (GMT +1)

Note that I first nominated it because it was a large, unreferenced article that said in the intro (ambiguously though) it didn't exist. I noted this on the talk page, and I've since discovered that it does exist, although with the author's above post a Conflict of Interest comes into question. julianmh (talk) 23:53, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Another Hasty Deletion by Stephen

Please restore the article on A. Shahid Stover. You indicated that the subject was "eligible" but the article doesn't "indicate the importance or significance of the subject". Based on your history, this looks like another one of your hasty deletions, stop being so damn trigger happy man. Have you read Stover's book? Probably not, or else you wouldn't even question his "importance". The beauty of wikipedia is that it doesn't just regurgitate information which is already endorsed by the academic establishment, on wikipedia you can read about writers/intellectuals on the rise(like Stover)who are in the process of making a huge impact on our current socio-political discourse.

About My Supposed 'Attacks'

My apologies about any misunderstandings, its just that I have a very low tolerance for the growing bureaucratic abuses of wikipedia editors such as yourself. I guess I'm still getting used to the fact that Wikipedia is no longer an alternative to the establishment, but a mere tool of the same establishment to ratify its own 'legitimacy' and preserve the status quo by making sure intellectuals like 'A. Shahid Stover' remain marginalized. I encountered similar issues during an 'edit war' I had over changes I made to the article on 'Eldridge Cleaver' and I'm sure my upcoming article on 'Francis Jeanson' will encounter similar resistance. It's just annoying, so whenever I can give you holier than thou 'experts' some hell, I kind of enjoy it. Don't take it personal though Stephen, there are still a few of us left who want to preserve wikipedia's cutting edge as a source of hard to find information, even if it means clashing with editors like yourself.Anotsu9 (talk) 02:57, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Making It In Hollywood

I think your editors are far too aggressive and assume that the public are experienced in WIki. They are NOT. I am NOT. I never will be because it's the most complex editing system with no guidelines or help and then bullies who delete items. I am the Producer of a film called MAKING IT IN HOLLYWOOD. Why can't I submit this to Wiki ? Every other Hollywood studio does it. It's not "blatant" advertising like you say in your bully-boy text, it's actually a desire for me to ensure that others are aware of the film and what it's about. Simple. Now reply with some helpful suggestions rather than just deleting things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottydoug (talk • contribs) 13:18, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Have a look at your talk page, about half way down, where I let you know that I had restored your article to User:Scottydoug/Making It In Hollywood for you to work on to bring it up to our standards for an article. This was in response to a polite request you made. That was three months ago but you did nothing with it. Instead you return three months later and simply recreate your article as a wall of text from a press pelease [4], and of course, because it doesn't meet our standards it gets deleted. So how about you look at the restored version and work on it, requesting help if you need to, and have a look at some of our rules for inclusion? You may want to start with our guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability (films). --Stephen 01:20, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I did nothing about it ? I have attempted to publish articles many times on Wiki and get nowhere, meantime big Hollywood studios manage to publish their own films using their own staff and get away with it. I have to do it all myself and therefore Wikipedia favours the Hollywood Studios over Independent Filmmaker who have to do everything themselves. You never offered any help whatsoever. All you do is refer me to some even more complicated instructions. This is simple. I have a film, I want to tell people about it, why can I not just do that ? I represent a number of indie filmakers (around 40,000), and I will be making noise in the UK press if I cannot simply get my film mentioned on Wikipedia. Up to you mate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottydoug (talk • contribs) 13:56, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Inappropriate deleting.

The article Neverdaunt:8Bit was inappropriately deleted by you. This article is new and had content being added by users and it had a clear purpose. To inform people about the game and give information about the game mechanics. You deleted lots of hard work by people and we are very disappointed in you. --Conmiro (talk) 01:58, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Have you looked at Wikipedia:Notability (web)? --Stephen 02:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Neverdaunt:8Bit Activity

I would like to point out that Neverdaunt:8Bit and its creator have plenty of international notability, it has been in magazines, major blog sites and podcasts. I do not know what precisely occurred for the page to be locked or deleted, but if you would be kind enough to at least allow me to personally edit and repair the Wikipedia entry, I can assure you there will be a satisfactory list of references. I look forward to your response. UnmixableIX (talk) 03:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

In RE: Victoria Nolan

Hi, You recently declined the speedy deletion rq for Victoria Nolan. At second look I can understand why. Thanks for clearing that up! Now, the article is severely under-developed. Is there a possibility that we could look at reducing it to a stub? Thanks!Bped1985 (talk) 03:39, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Google throws up plenty of references to tidy it up. --Stephen 03:42, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Help me with Multitouch: Gblindmann (talk) 13:59, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Dear Stephen,

please look into Multitouch. I made there some changes.

Thanks in addvance

Gennadi Gblindmann (talk) 13:59, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Dear Stephen,

Please help me to put some changes into following items of Multitouch article:

A whole load of edits

- Preambel "... Single Touch or Dual-Touch." to "... Single Touch, Dual-Touch or real Multi-Touch. Multi-touch refers to a touch system's ability to simultaneously detect and resolve a minimum of 3+ touch points. All 3 or more touches are detected and fully resolved resulting in a dramatically improved touch experience. Multi-touch is considered by many to become a widely-used interface mainly because of the speed, efficiency and intuitiveness of the technology."

- Implementations
after
"Multi-touch has been implemented in several different ways, depending on the size and type of interface. "
please add
"From physical point of view there are: Resistive, Surface Capacitive, Projected Capacitive (PST), Bending Wave, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW), Infrared (IR) and Optical technology. The most popular form are tables (for Example: MS Surface) and wall."

- History
after
"This technology was used to develop a new type of human machine interface (HMI) for the control room of the Super Proton Synchrotron particle accelerator." please add
"In a handwritten note dated 11 March 1972, Stumpe presented his proposed solution – a capacitative touch screen with a fixed number of programmable buttons presented on a display. The screen was to consist of a set of capacitors etched into a film of copper on a sheet of glass, each capacitor being constructed so that a nearby flat conductor, such as the surface of a finger, would increase the capacity by a significant amount. The capacitors were to consist of fine lines etched in copper on a sheet of glass – fine enough (80 μm) and sufficiently far apart (80 μm) to be invisible (CERN Courier April 1974 p117). In the final device, a simple lacquer coating prevented the fingers from actually touching the capacitors."
Please delete fully clause with Displax, because Displax didn't implement multi touch! (see Displax web site).

please add gestures

I reverted the bot's edit that undid your edits to the article. You can make any changes you like there. It's not usual practice to have someone else make edits on your behalf of the article is freely editable and not protected. --Stephen 21:59, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Dear Stephen, 1 Mio. thanks! I didn't know why my changes were blocked. Hopefully next time it will be better.

My page Mythopolis has been deleted

Dear Stephen, I am sorry, but my work has been deleted. Mythopolis. I also published my page on the forum wished that all players of Mythopolis could help to improve it. But now I cannot find it. From the hints it indicates I should add the importance of this Page. I worked so hard and spent hours on this page, but got a deletion.

I have restored your article to your userspace at User:Cryptmaker/Mythopolis for you to work on. Have a look at our guidelined on WP:NOTABILITY and WP:WEB for the sort of coverage that we need for your article to be moved into the proper article space, however it may be too new for such coverage to exist yet.

How can I go about through the process of deleting this? All substantial information on the page was provided by me. All other changes by other users is comparatively insubstantial. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.170.160.145 (talk) 03:41, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

You could try WP:Articles for Deletion if there were a valid reason to delete. But it has already survived one in 2006. The content is not yours to delete as you irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL, per the Terms of Use below. Is there a compelling reason why this page must disappear? --Stephen 03:54, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

The Deletion policy states, "Pages can be deleted without any discussion if they meet one of the criteria for speedy deletion." One of the criteria under Wikipedia Criteria for speedy deletion is the following: "If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content to the page and to the associated talk page was added by its author." The valid reason for deletion is that the author requests deletion. This stands regardless of the age of the article, as well as any Terms of Use that are in direct violation of the Deletion policy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.170.160.145 (talk) 04:26, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Barnaby oliver

dear stephen, you should replace this artcile unless you are an expert on british media i am the person who wrote the article about me its all verifiable, its all fact and its its all relevant to the media insdustry prove it isn't.

barnaby oliver. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnaby1919 (talk • contribs) 00:08, 24 December 2010 (UTC) dear stephen, this is my life biography, as it interacts with the rest of the media industry, now if you know more about this and verify the inaccuriacies in it which there aren't then you can remove since you can't becuase its true and i can prove every word of it it you will put it back. and stop fucking about with things you don't know anything about thankyou very much.

barnaby oliver, if you want to discuss i will give you my mobile number the dates the times everything.

dear stephen i am who i say i am i have meet who i said i met and i will have your removed as an editor it you oppose hositorical truth that the public are interested in because of who i know have met and worked with who are you? god? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnaby1919 (talk • contribs) 00:22, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Please provide one online reference that what you say is true. --Stephen 00:27, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

A long and winding rant culminating in a legal threat

dear stephen, what if none of the references that prove that this is true are "on line" these people operate using more advanced media technology than this. there are on line references any way. if you can enter the shooting people web site, then you will be able to see everything about the shooting of perpetual malcontent, mark raven hill and sarah kane used the same agent, you could ring her up and ask her, or you could ring up the wandworth festival organisers and ask about that. or go into the library of congress and look up the scripts ive registered. demetris laycos is on wiki, he's the brother of vassilis who killed himself he can confirm this. ring up sarah kanes brother be administrates her estate he can confirm. her dad is was a daily express journalist ring up any one in news corp and ask if they have heard of him. why don't you ring up guy pearce and ask if he's heard of rami barthamy a camera assistant. contact work post and ask if ben edited the video. ring up richmond studies and ask if a person called matt knott worked there he dvd authored my video. lily records at that studio. its all true. i can pin point the exact location of madonnas house in london, only i don't think she would appreciate me publishing that on the web. better than that why don't you contact maddonnas lawyer and ask to see a copy of the industrial dossier they have on me. becuase they've got one, becuase they quotin back posts i had made on the los angles shooting people web site at me. write lets think for one moment about verification, in order to verify every true fact about my media career which started in 1999 when sarah kane killed herself in febuary, up until 2011. thats a 12 years of complex forensic communicational tracing involved in that. lets just think about the costs involved to verify everysingle little detail.

you would have to access cctv, hospitol data, all the film web sites i have operated on, legal force various people to open up their buisness records, records of phone calls, emails, etc etc for an entire 11 years. that is some undertaking. most of whom are going to be less than cooperative about it. yes. an interesting question indeed verification.

considering guy richie's qc wouldn't even tell me who his instructing solicitor was. i don't know what guy richie would say do you remember meeting me in the sainsburies by the bfi, you were buying pain killers and i was cigs. will the chauffer of the saw5 merc admit to my trying to hitch a lift in his car, whilst my world cinema tutor walked past. i don't know why don't you go and ask them. firstly i want to know who you are and how you can justify this censorship. second point. is that legally speaking i own the rights to every second of my existence, these are known as performance rights. if you film an actor or do a vox poc on the street then you have to get them to waive their performance rights, so you can use it.

in my case i still own all my performance rights, and on another level you may be in contradiction with international humans rights law, by doing this censorship.

i would advice you to go and read the post modern condition by leotard key concept the collapse of grand meta narratives or the death of history. to fully understand that you are editing a fairy tale of history on this website. your verification requirements amount plain and simple to censorship. so have a think about whether you want legal action to be taken against you or not.

of course if i have to persue a human rights violation action against you the costs of the verification process involved in the case will be charged to you. not to me.

now it obviously madness on wikipedia that famous people who are living are unable to edit there own potted autobiographies on wikipedia, thats just plain stupid, obviously other people can come in and give other parts of the historical narrative as well. but stopping the actual person who there all the time is madness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnaby1919 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

NewsMeBack

Hi Stephen, I wanted to ask you why did you delete page NewsMeBack? I don't understand why you said it's Unnotable website because this is citizen journalism and social news website which created first Citizen journalism directory with 122 websites listed. Also NewsMeBack is one of 328 websites in AddThis service and as I last checked NewsMeBack has more than 25000 users. If I didn't write enough or made some mistake, please say what and I'll be more than happy to correct it, so that my page could return on Wikipedia. JonHary (talk) 17:58, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Have you read our guidelines for web site notability at WP:WEB? --Stephen 03:49, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
