help?

Hi Tony, I would like to see what I need to do to re-publish this page. I used other vo actors wiki pages as templates (i.e. Beau Weaver, Vanessa Marshall, Eddie Velez.) Several of them only had the same two references I had posted (IMDB and personal webpages) but then I was told that wasn't enough. One only had a personal webpage. Their pages are still up with no postings. I added other references thinking that perhaps that would help but I guess I'm not doing it right. Please help? (I'm not very tech savvy so I apologize in advance for not knowing what do here.) thanx so much. Bigvillage (talk) 20:01, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

It appears that the article failed to meet the Wikipedia criteria for notability. This was quite a while ago, so I do not remember the article. Do you have a copy of the article I can review? ttonyb (talk) 03:20, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Ttonyb1. I am just letting you know that I deleted House party presents, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. The Wordsmith^Communicate 03:59, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Dalton mugridge

I do not understand why my page on Dalton Mugridge was deleted. First of all, i am not him. I am however a fan of his work. he IS an actor, who has a page on imdb and various fan sites. He has worked on movies with Roddy Piper. I gave non personal links which reference all that i said. The relevance of him, is that he is an actor, from canada. He has done 4 movies now and has worked along side of some celebrities. research the links. I simply dont get how Randy from trailer park boys can have a "relevant" page, yet Dalton cant. Kindly review the case. Whitelightsoverlondon (talk) 08:12, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

It appears that the article failed to meet the Wikipedia criteria for general notability or notability for an actor. Additionally, there may have been issues with the references, please see WP:RS for more information. I cannot speak to the other articles you referenced as I have not looked at them. Each article must stand on it's own, so their existence is a moot point. ttonyb (talk) 03:26, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Bottle trap

Hello Ttonyb1,

After you proposed bottle trap to be a subject for deletion I've made some alterations in the text. Would you be kind enough to check the page again to see if it is up to Wikipedia standards now? If it is still not qualified, could you please give me some guidelines to meeting those standards? Some other administrator(?) (epipelagic) was actually quite positive about the original (except that I didn't put pictures in yet). Thanks, Scarabaeoid (talk) 00:12, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Ttonyb1, I see that you've been working on Wikipedia again, but I don't have an answer to my question as yet. Could you please answer me a.s.a.p.? I might not be able to work on this article for some days before the proposed deletion date, so I want to solve all issues within the next 48 hours. Scarabaeoid (talk) 12:48, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Broke sky

Who are you and why are you editing the Broke Sky page? Tom —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.255.134 (talk) 23:58, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Same as you, a volunteer that has an interest in providing a quality encyclopedia article. Why does it matter? ttonyb (talk) 00:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I guess you understand this article stuff pretty well. How does one enter the plot/story for Broke Sky into the article? add Credits? Every time one of the associates tries to enter the facts they get deleted and sometime even called vandalism? Have you gone to any of links to see the facts about Broke Sky? Have you seen the trailer yet? Do you have any advise for the contributors? Tom —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.255.134 (talk) 01:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The reason the material has been deleted is it is a copy existing text - [1]. This is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines and U.S. copyright laws. The text can be donated for use by Wikipeda, assigned a license consistent with Wikipedia use, or rewritten for use. Rewriting is by far the easiest, fastest, and least complicated route. ttonyb (talk) 01:55, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Can you tell me whose copyright it is infringing? Tom —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.255.134 (talk) 02:00, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The owner of the page in question. In this case it looks like it is Buzzard Films. ttonyb (talk) 02:04, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

And what if all the contributors work for Buzzard Films, then what? Tom —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.255.134 (talk) 02:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

There are a couple of issues. Wikipedia discourages creation of articles by those that have a conflict of interest with the subject of the article. The text still is copyrighted by Buzzard Films and needs to be donated for use by Wikipeda, assigned a license consistent with Wikipedia use, or rewritten. As I indicated, rewriting is by far the easiest, fastest, and least complicated route. ttonyb (talk) 03:03, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Broke Sky

I guess I understand?????? I appreciate your time, and if you feel up to it, I would appreciate anything you could do to create a good article about Broke Sky.

Michael Bormann - article and all related articles

Ttonyb1, I would like to know why you are suddenly taking on anything about the musician known as Michael Bormann and tagging "speedy deletion" to anything about him. You have been for the last couple of days tagging those articles and I have contested them all, explaining they are important in relation to the artist himself. Admins have approved my contesting (except for a couple) and now I have noticed that you are contesting the Michael Bormann article that is over a year old and had little to no problems. I did not give full detail of his biography as I first did because Wiki admins explained to me that my own personal conversations with Mr. Bormann could not be used (although they are the best references in all honesty). I kept it short and sweet to allow others to add instead. I have noticed you deleted the reference site that had an interview with Mr. Bormann about his history up to 2002. The link isn't dead as I just checked it. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Bonfire34 (talk) 04:53, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I am not focusing on anything that pertains to Michael Bormann, but rather articles that appear to not meet Wikipedia criteria for inclusion. I am not aware of any article that have fallen into that criteria that I have marked except what I have marked today. The Michael Bormann article was marked as a copyright issue; however, I removed the CSD simple because I was able to determine that the Wikipedia appeared to have been written before the other. As far as the reference in the article, I have again removed it as it does not work and points to a 404 type error. I suggest you try it again before you add it back in. Either way, the article is lacking in adequate references to support notability. My best to you... ttonyb (talk) 07:14, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I do not agree with all your recent tagging, but respect your work. I again tried the link today for the reference and it works for me. It is certainly not dead. I have reread the interview, dated November 4, 2002, and is a lengthy text that I would rather not paste here to take up unneccessary space. The link works for me so I reposted it. I will post other references links that I know of....after I return home from work. If you and others would rather I not post Mr. Bormann's album recordings, I won't, but it would be a great loss and lacking in relation to his own article. Good day to you. Bonfire34 (talk) 14:29, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

First of all thanks for your compliment and also for not posting the article on my talk page. There still seems to be an issue with the link and it was removed by another editor that, like myself, tried accessing it using multiple browsers. Forgive me if I am asking the obvious, but do you check the link in the article after you have added it? The only thing I can think is it may be posted incorrectly to the text. Does one need to be logged on to use it? The logged on/off scenario is a far-fetched idea, but I am open to any ideas. Nonetheless, an article supported by a single article is not really adequately supported and should include multiple sources. As for the album articles, this is a little bit of a gray. If there was an article about "Jaded Heart" there would be no issue, but I am not sure if an article about one of the members of the group is adequate to support the criteria in WP:NALBUMS. BTW - If the CSDs are removed by admins I have no plans to move to an AfD and will support their existence. My best to you... ttonyb (talk) 16:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, What documentation do you need to prove the images I uploaded are my property? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AriesArtist (talk • contribs) 03:34, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

This article has multiple issues

Hello again Tony, As you can see I'm new to this and thought I was doing pretty good :) Let me try to address what I understant the warning messages to be.

• This article has multiple issues:

Other than name links I don't understand what could be wrong.

• It is written like an advertisement and needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view:

It may have been edited by a person who has a conflict of interest with the subject matter ??? It may contain material not appropriate for an encyclopedia. (What material?)

Football superstars

the article is a new article ( very new ) and the subject of the page ( an online MMO ) is a perfectly valid subject for wikipedia. You place no comments on the talk page merely placed a deletion request tag on it. Please explain your reasoning on the article talk page. Deletion contested. It is all too easy to criticise others rather than give them a chance to get the page working. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemlin (talk • contribs) 17:08, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

The article is not new, it has languished without any changes for over a week. As indicated in the CSD the article fails to meet the criteria for notability. You have had ample time to work on the article before it was nominated for deletion. ttonyb (talk) 17:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of known and verifiable facts 1989

I do not understand. The post I have continuously tried to make is completely accurate and informative. Please take a review of your company policy. I can show you a birth certificate if needed.

Wikipedia is not my company, I am a volunteer. The entry you tried to post in 1989 has no article to support it, is about a non-notable person, and as such will not be re-added. ttonyb (talk) 01:47, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

The aforementioned posting of Gregory Gerlach is a well known and prominent figure. Who are you to say if this person is "non-notable" or not. Like you said, you're just a volunteer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.15.218.34 (talk) 01:54, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Please read WP:BIO. That is how I can tell he is non-notable. Besides the individual has no article to support it. Also, please do not make changes to to my user page. ttonyb (talk) 01:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

IRT "WP:BIO, you are telling me you have searched through multiple encyclopedias to find that this person is "non-notable"? Also, I will no longer make changes to your user page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.15.218.34 (talk) 02:04, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

If you can provide an article that supports his notability have at it. ttonyb (talk) 02:06, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I have a better idea, why don't YOU provide an article that DOES NOT support his notability? Then you can report back to me your findings. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.15.218.34 (talk) 20:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Local event?

May I please know why did you call the 2009 Japanese general elections 'a local event'? This is a major political event in the Southeast Asia, which has already led to a change in the international relations and bilateral relations between the US and Japan (e.g. Japanese stance on relocation of the Futenma base, the „secret“ pact on nuclear weapons etc.). Are there any Wikipedia policies or principles which state that such an event is not notable? Please note that the 1997 UK general elections, for example, are mentioned in the 1997 article ("May 1 – United Kingdom general election, 1997: The United Kingdom's Labour Party ends 18 years of Conservative rule by winning the historic general election with a landslide majority."). Taking all the above into consideration, may you please revert your change? Thanks in advance, Tomasz W. Kozłowski (talk) 18:58, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for asking. Although the ramifications of the event may be extensive, the event itself is not international. Much in the same way it could be argued the election of an African-American president in the United States has had far-ranging ramifications in world politics, that election is not internationally notable. Take a look at Recent Years - Politics and legislation section for a little more information about inclusion. As far as the other items in the other years, it may not fit the criteria, but as you know, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. If you still feel the item should be included, you can post a message on the talk page of the year and get consensus to get it included. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 19:39, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt answer. Considering the Wikipedia:RY#Politics_and_legislation guideline, the above-mentioned elections do not fit into it; they do "represent a significant change in the country" (the second shift of power in Japan since 1955) and are not "regular and ordinary". I really think they should be included in the article. Tomasz W. Kozłowski (talk) 21:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

1989

Hi I noticed you keep removing mentions of the 1989 football league campaign from the page 1989. I can understand your desire to remove trivial sporting events from such a page, but these is an incredibly famous match, and the most dramatic end to any football league season ever. On top of that, many see the game as a key turning point in football - the beginning of the rise of English football. The game has inspired best selling novels, movies, etc and therefore it very much belongs on the page. If we're going to go around removing sporting events from such pages this should clearly be the very last to go due to it's notability. As you can see I removed some different non notable sporting events as a substitution for you edit. You are correct that this event belongs in 1989 in sports, but it's wider significance means it belongs in the main 1989 article too. I perhaps should have better explained the significance of the Liverpool-Arsenal event more in the sentence about it, but I was trying to keep things concise. Anyway I now realise such content is necessary and apologise for any confusion caused. --Shakehandsman (talk) 17:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. I have again removed the event as it is better suited to the year in sports. I see you have added it there, thanks. The other reason is it is not really an internationally significant event. I understand we have a difference in opinion and suggest before you add it back in, you read WP:RY. Although not specifically noted that this year follows these guidelines, they are are a good rule of thumb to follow when it comes to adding sports (or other items) to recent years. If you still feel it belongs in the article, I suggest you add a post to the year's talk page and get consensus that it does. Thanks and my best to you. ttonyb (talk) 18:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Well given the global reach of English football the event surely is more than worthy of inclusion - the English League is the most famous domestic sports competition on the planet, and this is it's most dramatic moment. As I said, if any year of any domestic competition needs mentioning in any such article then this is the one. BTW I didn't originally add this information to the article, nor to 1989 in sports - those were all edits by other people.--Shakehandsman (talk) 19:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I see that you added a message to the talk page and I agree there are less notable events on the page that probably should be removed. Good luck with the consensus and my best to you. ttonyb (talk) 19:51, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Once text is created it is automatically copyrighted — there need not be a copyright tag on it. Unfortunately erasing text will not eliminate the copyright. There are a few ways to avoid this: the text can be created with a license compatible with WP:CC-BY-SA CC-BY-SA 3.0; the text can be donated to Wikipedia; or simply the text can be rewritten. By far the easiest path is to rewrite the material. There are some other issues with the article, specifically, the article appeared to not meet the criteria to establish notability.

Hi Tony. I have turned down your speedy deletion request regarding Ameba (website).

Thanks for the heads-up. I have looked at the article again and see there are some articles that might support the site, so I will not be moving for AfD. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 04:18, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Earthcheck

Hi Tony, could you please explain why you removed the content explaining the EarthCheck process for certification?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.209.231 (talk) 02:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

The text was copied from various websites and as such was a violation of Wikipedia guidelines and U.S. copyright laws. You can review the revision history of EarthCheck to see where the text was copied from. ttonyb (talk) 04:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Ttonyb1: Thanks for your constructive comments on Susan Baker page. I am working on it. I'm not sure exactly what words are weasel, but I am on it. Susan Baker really does deserve a Wiki page, and if it is deleted it is because of my slackness, not her professional excelence.

Would it be possible?

Would it be possible to make an exception for A7 if the page was under construction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Winner 42 (talk • contribs) 20:02, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

If an article is created it is generally assumed it is ready for inclusion. An under construction tag can be placed on the article and that might postpone it being marked with a CSD, but there are no guarantees. If the page is marked with an A7 and asserts notability the CSD will most likely be removed by the reviewing admin, but it could then be marked for PROD or AfD. The best bet might be to create the article in a User/sandbox, work on it there, and when it is ready move it to the mainspace. ttonyb (talk) 20:14, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Henry Hudson artist

Hi Tony. Just wondering if the additional information that I have added to Henry Hudson page since you flagged it helps to satisfy any doubts as to the notability/significance of the artist. I feel certain of its legitimacy and perhaps you could review the page and reconsider. Meanwhile I will be adding further information and coroborated links. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chewbacca66 (talk • contribs) 00:52, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Please clarify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chewbacca66 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

With all due respect, I disagree with the deletion of this. Henry Hudson is an important up and coming artist, conrtibuting significantly to the Fine Art Scene. Anyone in doubt of this should attend his forthcoming show in Milan and 20 Hoxton Square>Chewbacca66 (talk) 12:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

User:Franamax suggested I run this pending article past you. Originally I posted it as a new article, but it was knocked back as 'copyvio'.

Deletion from New Orleans Emergency Medical Services

Dear Sir, I am an employee of the City of New Orleans editing the pages of city departments. I was in the middle of editing when your copy edits deleted my changes. Please revise your edits to return the page to its previous status. Regards, Aaron Miller ([email protected]). PS- check the history. My changes are nothing but updates to content based upon established and verifiable information, so please contact next time before you slap the COI tag on there. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amiller3 (talk • contribs)

First, since there was a substantial amount of text added by you, the COI tag was warranted. Secondly, the text I removed was not encyclopedic in nature and added nothing to the article except fluff. I suggest you remove it as I had done. ttonyb (talk) 18:16, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I understand your rationale for the COI tag but you would have never known who I was unless I provided you my information. I did that voluntarily and intentionally, and as such would expect the same type of courtesy in return. The text was the names and position of the administrative personnel. I've reformatted it and added the citations, as well as information on some of them. I also have added the inuse tag...didn't have it in there before because the article traffic was so low I figured nobody would cruise by and edit on top of me. When I'm through I'll shoot you a note and would kindly ask you to review...that would be much appreciated, but please shoot me the comments before simply deleting! You must understand the frustration...—Preceding unsigned comment added by Amiller3 (talk • contribs)

To tell you the truth, I would be hard-pressed to find a reason to keep anyone beyond the director and perhaps deputy director. None of the mentioned individuals are notable nor do they perform a notable task. Combined with the material being added by someone with a conflict of interest, the material currently appears to be no more than non-encyclopedic fluff. In addition, the material is not verifiable. ttonyb (talk) 19:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I can expand on each of their qualifications and why they meet the notable qualifications if you'd like? I believe the citation does that, though. I'm done for the day, and will place a construction tag on it, or move the entire page to my user page if that would make you happier? Just trying to contribute to an area I know something about.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Amiller3 (talk • contribs)

I don't think the article needs to be userfied, just the non-notable individuals need to be removed for the following reasons:

• The individuals would not meet the Wikipedia criteria for notability;
• The list of people is not significant, nor do they perform a significantly unusually task; and,
• The text is really not encyclopedic, in nature. ttonyb (talk) 04:37, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reviews...I like the updates and agree after letting it sit and re-reading. I'm passing it through WP:MED to get some further feedback, editing, and contributions as well. Have a great day, will come back and keep you posted on any updates. Was going to add equipment and information on Hurricane Katrina, but am going to start it on user and then add over time now that the framework is up. amiller3 (talk) 14:54, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing. Could you please revisit to see if suggested changes were done according to Wikipedia standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IAPC (talk • contribs) 20:13, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Reason for deleting IndiaStudyChannel

Hello, I just don't know the reason you are requesting the speedy deletion of the page. Please clarify. Gyandeep Kaushal (talk) 04:21, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Per the tag on the article, "This article may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a web site, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. See CSD A7." Basically, if appears to fail the Wikipedia criteria for notability. ttonyb (talk) 04:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I would like to know the particular reason from you. I just don't know what the problem is. tell me the problem in particular which you experienced because just placing a tag for deletion without any reading is something which is not justifiable. Gyandeep Kaushal (talk) 04:30, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia criteria for notability and let me know how this criteria is established using reliable sources. ttonyb (talk) 04:41, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Matt Bennett

Really not seeing this as an obvious hoax. Care to shed some light? J Milburn (talk) 00:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Sure, playing Special Agent Casey in 1995 at the age of 4 in Due South and the other roles. Also no listing for the actor in this movie. ttonyb (talk) 00:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

It's unclear whether it's intended to be a hoax, as it is a real person: (Matt Bennett at IMDb). Most of the roles were actually Matthew Bennett (Matthew Bennett at IMDb, also known as Matt Bennett) so I've removed them and changed it to a proposed deletion. snigbrook (talk) 01:08, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

del Castillo

Rafael is not known as Rafael. Everyone calls him Del. That is the name he always uses and the name he is using in the campaign for Congress. When people query wikipedia, they will be querying Del Castillo. So I think the page should be Del Castillo instead of his name. Or both. I would simply like to be able to direct people to the information they will be looking for.

Also added a picture on the in the commons area named Del_Castillo.jpg, yet am not certain how to add it to the page. Vgitalian (talk) 02:19, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Regarding the speedy deletion of "center for electronics design and technology" page, i saw the speedy deletion tag and understood what mistake i had done.

Hello Ttonyb1, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I deleted Grade 9 beatdown, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided.
