Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom or Great Britain by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

Maps and assessment
Sure, I can do some maps for 104B and 481 (that is, once the Maps task force settles on a proposal). Once the proposal's set, those maps'll be my first priority. (BTW, if you'd like to take a look at and/or comment on the proposals, check this page out. Any and all input is welcome.)
As for NY 104B, I juggled for a minute or so on whether to make 104B start-class or B-class. I think what caused me to rate it start-class was the short route description. I see your point completely - it's a very short road in the relative middle of nowhere, so writing about the road would be difficult. Still, if a couple more lines of description were added to the route description (maybe the names/numbers of the county roads it passes, general progression direction (north-south, etc), for example), I'd probably be inclined to upgrade the article to B-class.

Well I do think we need to include modern RBs in the list, although this term was frequently used in the 1800s, it is important to note RBs can certainly exist in any time. In fact, I would argue that The term may now be used in relation to any businessman or banker pursuing various allegedly anti-competitive or unfair business practices. But you are certainly right that we shouldn't only include one modern person in the list.
As to the libal issue, including Mackey (or anyone else) would carry no more legal liablity than if I created a list of assholes and threw a bunch of names on it, as these are often subjective terms rather than objective and false facts. Mackey is pursuing various anti-competitive & unfair business practices according to the FTC. (of course so are many others, and I have no objection to including mulitiple modern day RBs).

OK. I tries again. Thank you for your patience, and little tutorial, it is appreciated. I used new quotes from songs this time, as they actually mention BC or a place name of BC in them so it seems to better comply. I couldn't find a template to use that had notes very well, so just indented it in. I could only find the place name of New York City, which I combined with your notes. There were not too, too many places on wikiquote as theme pages. I found that interesting. I will have to see what the other Canadian portals link to on wikiquote.

Rollback fail
You reverted a fix to Esterel Studio, such that the article now links 'IP' in the phrase 'hardware IPs' to IP Address.
"Hardware Internet Protocol Address" is a non-sequitur, whereas "hardware Intellectual Property Core" is a commonly used phrase, as described in the article Semiconductor intellectual property core.
I didn't want to reedit an article after you reverted my edit, so I came here to request that you fix the link to point to the correct meaning of hardware IP.

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I removed a warning template on User talk:190.27.194.98.

antemurale cristianitatis
Hi,
I erased a section of the article that mentions Croatia in the antemurale christianitatis myth article. I noticed the automated message, and decided to contact you. There is no antemurale "myth" in Croatian culture. Pope Leo X branded Croatians and Croatia as bulwark of christianity, so it is not something "invented" by Croats later during history. The other nations mentioned in the article are correctly portrayed, especially Serbians and Albanians. After the Kosovo battle in 1389. Serbian kingdom vanished, only to reappear in 1878. after the Berlin congress when it was officially recognized as independent. (they did have two uprisings in the beginning of 19th century, but they were officially recognized only after the Berlin congress in 1878. ) There was no Serbian kingdom or land during that period, everything else is just a Serbian nationalist myth! So the antemurale myth, is obviously present in Serbian culture, but not in Croatian. Serbians also falsely claim that they settled entire Croatian military frontier, and than defended Europe from Turks. However, this extract from a Wikipedia article shows that Military Frontier was dominantly Croat inhabited, but also inhabited by other ethnic groups because Croatian demography started to decline.
According to the official Austrian census from 1850-1851, the population of the Military Frontier numbered 958,877 inhabitants.
Lastly, there is a heated historical debate regarding "Serbians" in the Croatian Military Frontier. Historians believe that there was between 25000 and 36000 thousand Serbs who fled into the Croatian Military Frontier, and they were led by patriarch Arsenije Čarnojević. When he settled he saw that a part of Croatian Military Frontier population was orthodox, but not Serbian! They were Vlachs. Vlachs originate from today's Romania, it was called Wallachia by the German officials of that period. Germans asked these Vlachs to settle in the Croatian Military Frontier (because of the fall in Croatian HDI during that period), and in return, Vlachs asked for certain rights. Germans awarded them with Statuta Valachorum. As you know Serbians have an autonomous Church called Serbian Orthodox Church. So Čarnojević started a proces of Serbianisation (there is a Wikipedia article about this strange phenomenon) of these Vlachs which lasted roughly between 150 and 200 years. After some period they were Serbianized and they started to furiously deny their Vlach origin (they were possibly ashamed of it?) and they started to create more and more problems for Croats, as they were constantly used as a tool of a Greater Serbian aspirations towards Croatian territory. This culminated in 1991. when they created a puppet state within Republic of Croatia called "Republic of Serbian Krajina". Lastly, their "lordship" in Republic of Croatia was put to an end by a swift military operation called Operation Storm 95.
There is also a historical source called "Ethnographic map of austrian monarchy by Czoernig from 1855." In this source it is visible that there was more Croats (625028) in the Croatian Military Frontier than there were "Serbians" (222062).
I registered with a normal account as I want to contribute more to the article. Since I showed in my last post and substantiated with a couple of references that there is no myth about Croatia as bulwark of Criatianity is it OK if I now erase the section about Croatian antemurale myth, or should I add those sources that state otherwise and leave the article as it is?

Jewish Cossacks
Dear Ubiquity, Cossacks were the military estate of the Russian empire. They belonged to different civil estates as well. (This is why Kornilov mentioned both his father's Cossack ethnicity and military estate and his father's peasant civil estate in his appeals). The civil estate called Cossacks as well united the part of the former Ukrainian (Malorussian) Cossacks, which were much less numerous. All surnames of Ukrainian Cossacks of Jewish origin, mentioned in the article, were surnames of Cossacks, promoted to nobility and not to the civil estate of Cossacks after the disbandment of Cossack regiments.
There is now human trafficking in Russia, where adolescents are explained that Russian Cossacks contrary to Ukrainian ones have never been Orthodox Catholics. Traffickers distribute wild rumors, that Russian Cossacks have always been Orthodox pagan LGBTs ("circular asses") having nothing common with heterosexual people, especially Jews, to recruit children into their pagan "circular asses".
But Mikhail Sholohov chose a Jewish actress to play his Aksinya character in the "Quiet Don" movie, because her anthropological type was suitable only. Most probably, there were less atamans and colonels of Jewish origin on Don just because the much bigger faction of Don Cossacks considered themselves of Jewish origin and prayers to the Holy Mother were efficacious, in their opinion, even without atamans of Jewish origin . When empress Elizabeth had ordered not to send Don Cossacks of Jewish origin to Europe, the Don Cossack Host archive was fired. See about the town of your distant cousin

Accident different page :)
Sorry that was an accident wrong button push :)
I was trying to edit the Historical Jesus section and pressed wrong button.
I was confused by the weight that the article attributed to testimonies of Tacitus and Josephus about Jesus as a historical figure, while dismissing any other point of view.
Records referencing Jesus by Josephus have been universally acknowledged as a editorial forgery by Eusebius. (reference Nathaniel Lardner, Adolf von Harnack, Charles Guignebert, Dr. Gordon Stein).
The testimony of Tacitus has been also put into question because of it's historicity: the term Christiani was not yet invented at the time of Tacitus (evident from writings of Seneca), no contemporary christian theologian like Tertullian (a Tacitus scholar) or Clement of Alexandria ever mentions this passage.
The article also mentions nothing of the fact that there is no evidence of village under the name Nazareth existing in the time attributed by New Testament to Jesus.
The whole article needs an overhaul as it presents the issue of historical Jesus in a bias of christian apologist point of view. It favors sweeping theological dismissals over historical objectiveness. An example of such bias is using Robert Van Voorst, a christian theologian and pastor, for a final judgement on validity of evidence. His conflict of interests in evaluating the matter is painfully obvious and can hardly be considered as valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.196.90.88 (talk) 18:49, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

I fixed punctuation on the Planet V article, and you broke it again.
The second paragraph of the Planet V article contains this sentence fragment, which due to an erroneous period renders an incomplete sentence:
"While long-lived this orbit was unstable on a time-scale of 600 Myr. Eventually perturbations from the other inner planets drove Planet V onto a high-eccentricity orbit which crossed into the inner asteroid belt."
I corrected this grammatical error, and received a message that I had made "unhelpful edits" which were reverted. If I'm not allowed to fix this obvious mistake, then perhaps you'd like to do so, or at least explain why fixing a blatant grammar error was "unhelpful." 173.166.110.9 (talk) 16:48, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, now that I see what you're doing, it's fine -- except that in at least one edit (the first one I looked at) you removed material carelessly so that the next paragraph started in the middle of a sentence, and that looked like vandalism to me. I agree that an edit summary would have been helpful. I certainly wouldn't have even looked at something marked "removing unsourced material from articles on living people." ubiquity (talk) 18:36, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Reference Errors on 28 July
Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
Hi, I was wondering - how is even defined what articles can be in an encyclopedia? I found the article on Japanese Wikipedia and it seemed like something big enough to have its own page on the English Wikipedia, too. Is there a project page that has when pages are not important enough to be an article of their own?
That is a very good question. I looked at WP:GEOFEAT, where it says "Buildings ... can be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance. They require significant coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." Your article had no references at all. Can you find some English sources that mention the temple? Then you can establish notability. The mere fact that the building was covered in Japanese WP does not make it notable for English WP. If you can only find Japanese references, perhaps the temple is only notable in Japan. ubiquity (talk) 18:34, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

I agree it's not exactly heading for GA or FA status (it might make 'stub'...), but you can't use A7 on it. Sorry. That's not for places. I blame this Page Curation thing for using 'significance' as a reason. Confuses people. Peridon (talk) 22:20, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Rim Fire Recovery Project
Hello! You curated the article Rim Fire Recovery Project and noted many problems with it. In addition to those problems, I believe the subject may not be separately notable from the existing article Rim Fire. The author of this article added a section about the Recovery Project to Rim Fire, and I have copyedited that section and cited references. I have now proposed that Rim Fire Recovery Project be merged/redirected to Rim Fire. I'd appreciate your opinion on the proposal. Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 22:16, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Page deletion
I understand that you deleted Language Beta in good interests but the language was a development of my own and was on the move of posting the whole language, infobox and other details. Please rectify the mistake or at least reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarun Sepuri (talk • contribs) 12:37, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
I did not delete it. I am not a mod and couldn't delete it if I wanted to. I did suggest that it qualified for speedy deletion, because as it stood it didn't provide enough context to make sense, and moderator Amatulic apparently agreed with me. If you wish to resubmit it, I suggest you work on it as a draft for a while, or in your personal space, until you at least get enough material and sources to illustrate what the language is for and why it is notable. Since this is your own language, I also suggest you take a look at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Notability. If you simply write up a description of the language, with no external sources to indicate notability, I can promise you it will be deleted again — not through any action of mine but because this is the way Wikipedia works. ubiquity (talk) 13:45, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
@Tarun Sepuri: Articles that don't provide context or sense for the reader do not belong in main article space. We encourage you to work on draft articles in your own user space or create it in Draft space. Better still, because you clearly have a conflict of interest (you have an association with the subject) you should submit your article using the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process.
Please see also Wikipedia:Golden rule for a general overview of what we expect to see in any article before it can be accepted.
You also seem to be under the misconception that Wikipedia is a hosting service for publishing anything you believe has value. It most certainly is not, and we have a strict policy on that, primarily WP:NOT#OR as well as Wikipedia:No original research. That is, Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought or original work. If it hasn't received significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, Wikipedia can't have an article on it. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:21, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the reply. I will follow the suggestions that both of you have given. As you see, this is my first own article and so I need some knowledge and practice. Once again, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tarun Sepuri (talk • contribs) 02:16, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

I am setting up some basic articles for the various archives WP does not presently cover (in parallel with the Archives wikia wiki) - and there is more information than for the Arquivo Histórico Nacional (Angola).
Does the ASF link help? Jackiespeel (talk) 18:06, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
I am not sure the one in Angola deserves an article either. Basically, both articles simply state that Burkina Faso and Angola have archives. Can you tell us anything about the archives? How big are they, when were they built, how many people work there? Why do YOU think they're important enough to need articles? ubiquity (talk) 18:14, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
An appeal to the collective wisdom of Wikipedia :)
The gaps (including the red links) in the coverage of archives are there - so even 'something basic' is better than nothing.
What should be done with these archives? (The archives wiki can be used as an intermediary part of the process if more convenient.) Jackiespeel (talk) 21:52, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Why should anything be done with them? What makes them notable? Why do you want to write about them. When I look at these articles (including the one on Austria), all they say is "This country has an archive." Every country has an archive. I don't see how that's interesting. Can you tell us something about the archives besides the fact that they exist? ubiquity (talk) 15:10, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
WP has coverage of archives by continent and (continent topic:title) setups - I am trying to fill the gaps: and too many of the archives articles generally are little more than one sentence long.
The Austrian Archives page needs a 'add material translated from the corresponding German Wikipedia page (Österreichisches Staatsarchiv)' request.
How do you suggest developing the relevant pages (especially as knowledge of other languages will be required). Jackiespeel (talk) 15:49, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
I have no suggestions, as it's not an interesting subject for me. You are the one who wants to write about it. But try some of the suggestions on the Help Page under the heading "I'm Stuck". Also, I started deletion discussions for the pages on the archives of Burkina Faso, Andorra and Austria. Participate in the discussions, perhaps someone there will have ideas as to how you can fix the articles. Or perhaps you can win people over to your point of view, and the pages will survive. Or perhaps we will find that I'm simply wrong, and the pages are OK as they are. ubiquity (talk) 16:20, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Ubiquity, I was coming here to ask that you take a (second) look at WP:BEFORE. Inclusion in the encyclopedia is based on notability, not on the state of development of the article. Particularly in the case of National Archives of Austria, you could easily have verified the notability of the topic - even if you disagree that national archives are inherently notable as major government agencies, which is Jackiespeel's position - by looking up the corresponding article on de.wikipedia and noting not just its length and the fact it already had 2 interwikis, but the number of references. Your arguments for deletion are all about the state of the article, which is not actually a valid reason for deletion. In addition, you AfD'd these articles shortly after their creation, without prior notice to the creator (or any attempt to improve them yourself). Editors work in different ways; please consider giving new articles a day or two to be improved, with a note to the article creator if there are several, or fixing obvious things yourself rather than going straight to AfD, which requires a comparatively large expenditure of editor attention - and would be daunting for a new editor. Yngvadottir (talk) 17:15, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
I read the discussions in the deletion arguments, and I understand. Thanks. ubiquity (talk) 17:35, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
The stage at which on wishes to 'plant out' an article for others to develop is partially a matter of personal taste/the point at which one thinks others should take them on to develop. Jackiespeel (talk) 17:59, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of evilswarm exciton knight
Hello, I saw the message as to why you decided to delete the new page I created. I get that the page doesn't have much of description, but that's due to the fact that I'm new with making pages for wikipedia. The page I created is linked to the trading card game Yugioh, and the reason I made it is because it is intended for other people who want to learn more about to either put in their decks or to know how to get aroud the card when it is played against them. If you have other questions, by all means ask them — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maskedbrawler (talk • contribs) 17:46, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Maskedbrawler, I did not delete your article (it's still there). I couldn't even if I wanted to as I am not a moderator. I did recommend that it could be speedily deleted (a form of deletion for articles which clearly do not meet wikipedia requirements), because, reading it as is, I had no idea what it was about. I understand from looking at other similar pages that it's also a copyright violation. You can, if you want, address these issues by writing a lead sentence on the order of "Evilswarm exciton knight is a card in <game it comes from> that does <whatever it does>." Then clean up the article to use sentences to explain the stuff you want to explain. However, I agree with WikiDan61 that Wikipedia is not a game wiki, and that, therefore, even if you clean up the article to answer my issue, it will probably get deleted eventually anyway. See What Wikipedia is not, especially Wikipedia is not a game guide. ubiquity (talk) 18:29, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Martha Crenshaw Page
Hi thank you for the message in my talk page, regarding the Martha Crenshaw page, it is still in progress. Martha Crenshaw was at St. Andrews in a counter terrorism conference, and I have asked her to view the page to check the article, the one posted was from the Stanford, the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), and Martha's own curriculam vitae; everything can be verified. The picture was taken by me at the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence.
Thanks again for the message, please note the article is still in progress and Martha Crenshaw is one of pioneers in Terrorism Studies.
Best wishes,
--Cyril Thomas 20:19, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
The most important thing is to get some independent references that confirm what you've written. Perhaps it may seem odd to you, but having Ms Crenshaw review the page is not nearly as important as having independent, verifiable sources that other people can check. Unfortunately, anyone can claim they are Ms Crenshaw, or that she has personally verified the page. If you have decent secondary sources, no one will have to worry about your article's veracity. I recommend you read the article Wikipedia:Verifiability. Good luck! ubiquity (talk) 20:41, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi thanks again, Martha Crenshaw is not reviewing she is only correcting any mistakes (like the dates and "chronographical" errors) in my original article (which was not published yet). The references I have added were from decent secondary sources as I have pointed out, from FSI (Stanford) and National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START). Hope that clear the issues. Thanks again, --Cyril Thomas 20:51, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Lifesigns
Getting confused here. WP:A7 is for something that "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant" and A7 clarifies that this is "distinct from verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability". But you're concerned about verifiability rather than significance, and I've shown that it meets notability per WP:NBAND.
If you're worried it doesn't meet WP:GNG for lack of references, shouldn't that be a prod or AFD rather than a speedy? (I'm assuming "band contains two notable musicians" is enough to hop the very lowest bar of "indicate why subject is significant".) --McGeddon (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Ack, you're totally right. I guess I'm going color-blind, because I missed the wikilinks to the bands members. Sorry for the confusion. ubiquity (talk) 19:38, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
No problem. Even then, though, you reverted the A7 template back with the edit summary "You must show at least one reputable reference to assert significance" - but this isn't the case. I forget this myself sometimes, but even a spurious, unsourced claim of importance is enough to keep a speedy at bay. They actually have this clarified at the top of WP:NMUSIC, so I guess it comes up a lot! --McGeddon (talk) 19:49, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Patience, my dear Ubiquity. You will notice one of the few things I did put in the article, from the outset, is an interwiki link to the :de: article, which has an abundance of sources.

Speedy Deletion of Experion Developers Page
Firstly kudos for the quick response to the page creation and letting me know who to talk to and discuss this with.
I was working on a project in Real Estate industry in India. There are very very few companies which have enough information on them here.
Hence I added information to existing pages and further created this page and intended to create a few more pages as well on other players in the market.
Experion Developers among the other developers I wanted to create pages on are huge real estate development companies in India with multiple award winning projects which have been internationally recognised, but the impression I get is that since they are from a developing country, they end up being ignored whereas every little organisation in US or Europe are easy to search and read up on in Wikipedia.
The other pages I intend to create on are Supertech, M3M and Paras and Indian users can further add to it and also give a more balanced picture by adding delayed projects and legal battles most of them are embroiled in.
Let me know how to go about this so as to maintain Wikipedia quality standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bootpalish (talk • contribs) 08:00, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Ubiquity,
I'm new in Wikipedia and the people i wrote about is a known figure in Indonesia, that's why i thinks he is important enough to be put on the encyclopedia. He wrote several book also, but since wikipedia said that i need to be as neutral as possible and put no advertisement, i dont put it on the article.
That was a failed redirect - the edit summary by the author said "r from variation". I'd spotted it as being a hill, and did a Google to see what came up. And Top o'Selside did. So I redirected it, and then looked in the history. I think Pam just put the name in and forgot to add the code. Can happen to anyone. I warned someone that they were blocked tonight, but forgot to actually put the block on. Peridon (talk) 23:13, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Dhroeh has many quotes from external media on his Media page. Can you find out the exact articles those quotes came from? Even just the publication name and a date would be OK.

They have a lot of publicity material, like newspapers, flyers, brochures etc., but they like to check what you really want to receive. They do not understand it totaly.Sairamark (talk) 14:05, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
It's really not like that, Mark. There's no one to call. I don't want to receive anything. You are the one who wants to write an article that won't get deleted as purely promotional or because the subject is deemed non-notable. The best thing would be for you to read WP:SOURCE. The important thing is to have source materials that originate with some reputable and independent third party, such as a newspaper or journal, not those that originate from Dhroe and his management, such as youtube posts, facebook pages, self-produced websites, etc. Honestly, you shouldn't even be dealing with Dhroe and his management on this. If he's really notable, there should be plenty of available material without consulting then. Perhaps it is too soon. ubiquity (talk) 14:19, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
Dear ublique, They like to send you material about Dhroeh Nankoe, the only 3 questions they have are:
from which year is it still good for Wikipedia: for instance, if there is an article about Dhroeh in a Dutch newspaper from 1990 f.i., is that still valid? They need an exact year, otherwise They will be sending the wrong material.
if there is original flyer material, made by the organization for which Dhroeh has performed: does this flyer material suit the demands of Wikipedia?
do the material I will send have to be a digital link, or is it ok to send you scanned newspaper for example of which no digital link exists? thank you for your kind response. Sairamark (talk) 08:24, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
Mark, please do NOT have them send me anything. I have no intention of working on this article. In answer to your questions, though, a newspaper article from 1990 would be fine, and it doesn't have to be digital. The flyer is less useful, not being from an independent source. ubiquity (talk) 14:07, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

i know it was off topic but i was put there randomly so i put my thoughts by the way friends
You deleted it while I was working on it. Are there different standards on Italian Wiki?? Its the same article almost and theirs has been there for a long time no problem. Are you standards different than the Italian language Wiki. If not why is their article fine and mine is no? I was going to finish it by the end of today now I have to do the whole thing over again. Give people a little time to finish it has not even been 18 hours from creation036386536a (talk) 15:30, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
I did not delete it. I am not a moderator. I tagged it for deletion, because it wasn't clear what it was about. However, if you are working on an article and do not want it to be subject to the usual scrutiny, there are several techniques you can use:
Keep the page in your own pages until it is ready.
In any case, you do not have to do the whole thing over again. The article is still there, and I removed the tag. Please use one of the above techniques to protect it while you are working on it. ubiquity (talk) 15:48, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
Technopolis
It seems that an admin kneejerked this immediately, which is a shame, in the middle of editing it. I've left a message here. I have no interest in trying to restore edits if good faith is not assumed. I have no connections to Technopolis, real estate or advertising so I'm a bit puzzled why my edits can be considered advertising. --vuo (talk) 16:47, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of RAVN Systems page
Hi, you marked a page i put together on RAVN Systems for deletion. Please can you explain why? It clearly stated what the organisation did, some of its history, competitor information and information about its technology. Please can you let me know what should have been added so that it was not marked in this way?

concur; would value back - up if it becomes necessary
I am not clued up on speedy deletion, so I need advice or guidance. I am just now concurring with speedy deletion of General Science Journal, just in case some concurrence might be useful. I am also undoing the posting of a link to that journal, because it is obvious conflict of interest promotion of a poor quality marginally relevant article. I would value back-up on that if it becomes necessary.Chjoaygame (talk) 18:40, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
The whole point of speedy deletion is that it's speedy -- for use in cases where there's absolutely no question that articles do not meet certain wikipedia guidelines. If you think an article should be speedied, you tag it, and later, if a moderator agrees with you, he or she will delete it. No backup, discussion or other concurrence necessary. The article in question, which did not assert anything notable about its subject, and had no references, was an obvious candidate for speedy deletion. ubiquity (talk) 19:03, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you.Chjoaygame (talk) 05:39, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
Nanography
Please advise why you consider the Nanography listing entered on 12/20/14 to be promotional. It describes a printing technology developed by Benny Landa, who is listed separately on Wikipedia. I can remove the trademark symbols per another notification. Will that suffice to approve posting?
Thank you bbcrossword
I'm not sure why you think I had anything to do with this. My name is not mentioned on the history page, and I am not a moderator. No one "approves" posting, anyway. Sometimes pages are deleted because they do not meet Wikipedia standards, particularly standards of notability, but there's no approval process -- if the article doesn't meet standards, anyone may start a deletion discussion, or suggest that the article so obviously violates certain standards that it should be speedily deleted by a concurring moderator. I did look, after your note to me, at the article in question, and notice that there is not a single reference. This certainly leaves it open to charges of lack of notability and promotionalism. It also reads like an ad, and tends to praise the process rather than simply describe it. If I were you, I would add some decent references, and moderate the tone of the article. But I personally am not intending to take any kind of action with regard to it. ubiquity (talk) 00:57, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Katten Muchin seems truly notable. They are the result of a merger between two firms which each had their own WP page. The article asserts some national notability which it backs up with references. They have an association with the notable Mr Daley. Duane Morris also seems to meet the general notability guidelines. Note that both of these are large firms with an international presence, not the law firm of a single individual. The other two you mention are on much shakier ground. In fact, since you brought it to my attention, I am considering proposing the deletion of ATB&J, I really don't see anything that makes it more than locally notable. Of course, if you feel they are non-notable, you're free to propose their deletion yourself.
There are millions of articles on Wikipedia, and they don't all get the same scrutiny. But if you see articles that do not meet guidelines, please propose their deletion. ubiquity (talk) 20:38, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Supply Chain finance
Hello Sir,
I am sorry to say that nowhere in existing article you mentioned there is a workflow description of Supply Chain Finance. People reading your article will be like reading a list of definitions without understanding the process. My text is a needed complement from a real-life view by a professional. Please do not delete my added text as it does not generate conflicts and in the contrary brings an added value to people interested to use Supply Chain Finance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeanklat (talk • contribs) 16:08, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Dear Ubiquity,
I am Jeanklat Jeanklat (talk) 08:54, 26 January 2015 (UTC) Jeanklat .
You proposed to delete the article about Supply Chain finance and you, in your latest reply, said it would be ok to reinclude it.
Today i could not find again our last discussion of Friday 23 of January 2014. However I was reading right now that our article was deleted because untrusted source, and soapboxing ???.
First if you need credentials to be credible for our competence to improve the article related to Supply Chain finance why don't you say so.
We already added reference to a web-site belonging to a professional enterprise.
If you already acquainted with supply chain finance you sure know that the most awards winner in Supply-Chain Finance is Prime Revenus www.primerevenue.com you may easily verify this fact.
We are related to Prime Revenue as we are their sole reprentative for 14 Countries. Our Company is UbiqInnovations.
You may also check it on the same web-site. Do you believe that PrimeRevenue would trust the first comer?
Therefore we at UbiQ Innovations feel that what is already said about Supply-chain finance (SCF) on Wikipedia is far from being satisfactory.
SCF is been recognized as the best solution to develop SMEs in the world and increase GDP of countries.
Wikipedia ought to give the best awareness to world wide users that are seeking to better understand this new IMPORTANT domain that people still do not understand. Dear UBIQUITY, PLEASE, Let me send you all the texts and schematics that we propose to add in Supply Chain finance to improve the current content for the sake of true added value. Can you provide me with an email address where I would be able to attach the material we suggest?
Find below my additional remarks that I wish you believe I, as a professiona, add to you attention to improve this topic:
First once a search for “SupplyChain Finance” is initiated on Wikipedia the result is as follow: “Supply Chain Finance may mean Reverse factoring, a.k.a. supply-chain finance (typically domestic)Global supply-chain finance ”…. Or Supply Chain Finance should have a direct description.
Second: Reverse Factoring is not Supply Chain Finance; it’s a model of receivables finance used by Supply Chain Finance.
Third: “Global Supply Chain Finance” is a Swiss company offering Supply Chain Finance solutions.
Fourth: If we assume that “Global Supply Chain Finance” section gives a neutral explanation to Supply Chain Finance as describe in its table of content (copy pated here below) this does not cover the Supply Chain Finance Model description that we have posted to explain the work flow of Supply Chain Finance.

Significance
That's what Page Curation puts as the reason for a speedy. However, it's limited - as the reasons put up by Twinkle show. A7 is only for real people, groups of real people, named real animals, web content, and organised events. Yachts have to go to prod as they are products. Note that fictional people and animals don't come under A7 either. I've prodded this one. If prod gets removed, it'll be AfD for it unmless it improves greatly. I've soft blocked the author for an organisational user name - it appears to be a dealer in yachts. Peridon (talk) 16:07, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. I misunderstood, I thought they were talking about a yacht with a specific name, which seemed to me like an organization, not a type of yacht. ubiquity (talk) 16:12, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
It seems to be a named yacht rather than a type of yacht, but it's still not an A7. The Foulwater Scrubbs Yacht Club would be eligible for A7, but not any boat or ship. Hotels seem to be classed as organisations at times, but they are often run as a company (the building is the Broken Downs Hotel, and it's run by Broken Downs Hotel Ltd) but yachts tend to belong to individuals with more money than you or I have. There can be a problem with churches - is the Church of the Abseiling Hamster a building or an organisation? Sometimes both - otherwise you have to rely on context. If they start off talking about architecture, it's a building. If they say 'currently led by' it's an organisation and A7 can apply. (I just checked that one out - things I invent sometimes really exist - and found a site saying "Knit Your Own Hamster for the Bell Tower Appeal"...) Peridon (talk) 16:28, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Top Hat Trading Deletion
Speedy deletion nomination of Top Hat Trading Limited
Hello Again, the company don't have much sources on-line, but company already exist from 2002 and I see 3 money/finance magazines in UK write about them, and they are a well-know company for UK investors. I only try add a article that don't exist and that I think that is necessary for people know the history of company. If you think that is a promotional, is my bad because don't was my intention make this like a promotion because I don't have any connection with Top Hat Trading. All the content was extracted from good sources like UK Archives, and magazines, the company exist and have license to operate so I don't see any reason for exclude the article. If you have any suggestion's about how i need do it for you don't think that is a promotional article, tell me.

Hello Ubiquity. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Aayudham (2016 film) to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 22:40, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
I added your references for you, and removed the proposed deletion tag. It would be good if you could indicate the difference between the two allmusic refs. It would be even better if you could tie the refs to specific parts of the article. Categories would be nice too -- look at other similar artists to see how categories are done. ubiquity (talk) 20:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC) - Will do, thank you.

Please help me with what exactly I need to do to prevent deletion. What of his do I need to word the article? He is very important to the entertainment industry and having a page on Wikipedia or an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is is full of writers, comedians, and film makers.
