Oh Good, You're an Administrator![edit]
I know, that title sounds a little crazy, but I'm seeking the aid of as many Wikipedia administrators as I can contact. You see, I want for a bunch of images to be uploaded to Iggy Arbuckle, and I figure that this sort of a crisis deserves the attention of the users of the highest authority possible. Please get involved in the matter!!! Wilhelmina Will 02:51, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Old SALT vs New SALT[edit]
This is mostly an FYI to you as an admin who still uses the old, templated method for salting pages. That method of salting pages is depricated, and the template is now up for deletion. While things can still change, the current discussion definitely looks headed towards deletion. Assuming that this happens, you will no longer be able to salt pages with the old method, and will need to begin using the newer salting method that involves cascading protection on the title, and allows recreation to be blocked while still having no article at the name, leaving it as a red link. This new method of salting is centered at WP:PT, and the instructions for how to make it work are there as well. - TexasAndroid 13:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Where's an egg? article[edit]
Hello. I'm not sure if this is what you meant by leave me a message at the bottom of my talk page, but this is where I'll write because I'm a little irritated. I created an article on "Where's an Egg?" a homestarrunner.com game of the same name and it was deleted. I checked to say why and it listed no reason. I was wondering what gives. I'm irritated because admins do this all the time without trialing the deletion, without discussing it with the author, and really without any grounds to do so except for the fact that they're admins. I don't blame you for all the prejudiced deletions I see all over, and I certainly appreciate the fact that admins delete nonsense articles about nobodies who think they're the sheezy, but you really shouldn't go around deleting things without the facts. ~ajimazzle —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajimazzle (talk • contribs) 22:05, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

BRI entry[edit]
Hello,
Regarding your deletion of BRI as a Spanish language page about a musician: I happened across the entry and was a bit startled that nothing was there so I checked the Google cached version. It seems that there was, as of mid August, a full disambiguation page present. Could you check the deleted entry's history and see what's going on? Thanks,

- restored, my bad
Teleservices Direct[edit]
I am a new contributor to Wikipedia, and you deleted my article about Teleservices Direct. I realize that the stub article I wrote is not comprehensive, but I did include relevant, useful information. And I'm not some kind of corporate shill trying to advertise. The fact of the matter is that DirecTV, a huge corporation with over 15 million subscribers, uses TeleServices Direct almost exclusively to call its subscribers, often up to once a month or more. Most people don't know about the relationship, but certainly most DirecTV subscribers have had the experience of talking to a Teleservices Direct agent. It is important for the world to realize that DirecTV makes extensive use of telemarketing to increase revenue. This is mentioned in the DirecTV article.
I posted my objection to speedy deletion on the talk page, but you deleted it anyway. Could you tell me why you did so? It is frustrating for a first-timer to have a page deleted in such a manner. It makes me not want to contribute any future articles to wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chalo phenomenon (talk • contribs) 14:49, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Filatex India[edit]
Thanks, I will keep an eye on it to see if i becomes a little more encyclopedic in tone. --Rodhullandemu 15:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Guys and Dollies[edit]
I also posted an objection to speedy deletion on the talk page, but it was deleted. I suppose I am confused why this happened. All information included on the site was objective and purely factual in nature. It was meant to be informational to the student body of Indiana University to provide insight about a new company. Among college students, Wikipedia is, perhaps, the most used information source, and I feel it should include information about student-owned companies so that students have more information before they choose to use the service.

- ==Guys and Dollies==
In that case, I was wondering if you could put the site back up so that I can add the secondary sources. This is my first time making a website on Wikipedia and I was doing it in steps, not realizing how quickly it would be flagged. I will be citing two interviews with the two different owners and an article should be coming out in the student newspaper later this year. Thanks!

Angelfire[edit]

Daniel enayatzadeh[edit]
You deleted my article about this really gifted actor that i went to see preform at this play in my city of Montreal, Canada. I am really confused on why you would delete it? I think i gave a pretty good explanation in my talk page. I really enjoyed information and when I wanted to know more about him i could not find much, so i decided to create something about him. Just because he is not a Hollywood actor known to millions of people it does not mean he should not have a place in an encyclopedia does it? I mean he needs to start somewhere right? I was able to collect a bit of information at first and thats how i started to create the page last night. However, unfortunately it got deleted... Can you please put it back? Thank you very much for your time! (Daviddavid2011 17:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC))

"Hadeth, Beyrouth , Lebanon" deletion log comment[edit]
No problem with the deletion, but what is a "G12 copyvio"? --Meyer 08:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- Never mind. Found my own answer: Reason for speedy deletion category "General" Criterion 12 — Blatant copyright infringement. The French text was simply a copy from the town's web page without license to use. -- Meyer 09:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- yup
Hazel Bryan[edit]
I saw today that you deleted (or nominated? I can't tell from the notation when attempting to recreate the page) the page called "Hazel Bryan" for the reason "malformed naming, redirect not necessary". I'm not sure if there was a discussion about this subject, but it really should be retained for redirection purposes. Hazel Massery is the student seen in the notorious picture of a black student entering the Little Rock High School. However, at the time she was Hazel Bryan, her maiden name. Many articles reference either her married (Massery) or maiden name, or both. As such, I think the possible confusion warrants the useful redirect. --Wolf530 (talk) 01:58, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- answered on user's talk-page; redirect restored, my bad.

Please let me know as soon as you are able and [email protected]

George Lawrence (footballer)[edit]
This article was deleted in June - I believe for copywrite reasons. Is it posible that you could restore it? I can then go through it and remove anything that is clearly copywrite and then bring the article up to scratch. --Daemonic Kangaroo 06:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
