Deleted Jason Dowd

I had my page deleted by you, for lack of references showing notoriety. I cited 5 different news papers that wrote about my art work, I also cited major world galleries that housed my work, and the mission I have received recognition for. What else do I need to do to keep my article up? Actually that really offends me.

I see people with 1/2 the credibility I have with no problems. To me this says they are more important than I am, and I have world wide recognition.

TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO TO KEEP MY ARTICLE UP... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.171.96.179 (talk) 05:07, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Please see WP:CREATIVE for an indication of the what you need to achieve to meet our notability requirements. I'm afraid that if as the article claims your most "notable commission" is taking a photograph of a public event for a local newspaper then you are not quite there yet.

User:Eastleigh 9

Hi, you had dealings with Crouch, Swale and I have just come across new user Eastleigh 9 who is nominating articles for deletion at a fair rate that Crouch, Swale was involved with. wondered if this new user may be another sock? Keith D (talk) 14:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I have no doubts at all. Have indeffed. nancy 14:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Crouch (again...)

Hi Nancy. Before I bother SPI, what do you make of User:Eastleigh 9? My gut feeling is this is more games (despite them nominating crouch's articles for deletion). Quantpole (talk) 14:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Quacking like a good 'un I'd say. The give away is using Round Maple as an example of a notable place. nancy 14:36, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Kilpatrick Stockton

Hey there Nancy,

I see that you deleted a Kilpatrick Stockton page that I created a few years back, calling it unambiguous advertising/promotion and not notable. After reading your "why I deleted your article" page, I think it should probably be restored. I created the page because I was considering a job at KS, which was a law firm, and when I looked it up on Wikipedia it didn't have an entry. Most firms do, and so I created a page modeled after those of other firms, including information I thought would be useful to people like me who wanted to get basics about the firm. (Note that I did not end up taking the job.)

I'm not sure where you draw the line at calling something advertising; other editors had attempted adding negative info about the firm on a couple occasions, and I think I had too, but that information was subsequently removed by others. Among other things, one of the partners in the DC office committed suicide in an event that was pretty high-profile in the legal community; the firm also had layoffs. I don't think the piece was any more promotional than a typical law firm page on Wikipedia, and it was no different than many other law firm pages that are still around. To the extent others were removing negative information, that was the problem--not the nature of the page, which was not intended to be, and was not, advertising.

As for notability, KS is generally considered one of the top 100 firms in the U.S. I also stated in the article several notable factors about the firm, including significant work it was involved in involving Native American issues and the creation of the Coca-Cola company. I'll readily admit that I haven't kept up with Wikipedia's standards the past few years, so I might not have jumped through some hoop where a page creator should specifically explain notability beyond what's apparent on the face of the article. But, I don't think that necessarily warrants continued deletion.

This deletion leaves an odd hole in Wikipedia's knowledge base. Most major law firms have pages; many people who want to learn about those firms come to Wikipedia to get some basic facts about them. Those are the facts I included in the article. I would ask that you consider restoring the page. I would be happy to re-add the negative information from before if you think that would make the article more balanced, though I can't promise I'll police the page to make sure nobody else deletes it again.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SharkAttack (talk • contribs) 00:48, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi There SharkAttack. I've reviewed again the deleted content and can see why it was nominated for deletion, the first paragraph for example was:

Kilpatrick Townsend attorneys are fully engaged in the success of the firm's clients. We deliver results-oriented counsel for corporations at all stages of the growth cycle, from the challenging demands of financial transactions and securities to the disciplines of intellectual property management. A close collaboration between the firm's practice areas ensures that we are well-positioned to serve all of our clients' needs.

And the rest carried on in pretty much the same vein. I have however dug further back in the history and found a perfectly acceptable article in there. I can only apologise that I didn't do the same due diligence the first time around - I'm normally very conscientious about that sort of thing. I am going to restore the page and revert back to a non-spam version. I would suggest however that you keep a close eye on future edits as from the look of the usernames involved K-S staff or their representatives are all over it and are largely, if not wholly, responsible for the dreadful state it got in to. Best, nancy 12:34, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks very much Nancy, I'll keep a closer eye on it this time. Hard to believe whowever made those edits was so flagrantly promotional; I can certainly see why you deleted it.SharkAttack (talk) 16:49, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

IFun4All

Hi. I was just looking for a bit of advice regarding IFun4all. I have tagged this for speedy deletion (CSD A7) however since then the creater has added new refs, info etc. I am somewhat inclined to remove the speedy and instead PROD or similar, however I have noticed that you previously deleted the page on the 7th Feb so I hope you don't mind me coming to you for help here. I was wondering if you think it would be eligalbe for A7 still, or to go ahead and remove the tag? Thanks CalumH93|talk 17:52, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Calum, I just looked at it and it is still unquestionably an A7 in my opinion. The "refs" were a blog and a review. I've zapped it again. Keep up the good work, best, nancy 19:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

David Bradley Politician

The details submitted can be verified from numerous sies, e.g. www.irishpoliticians.com, www.journal.ie, www.electionliterature.ie, www.rte.ie etc. etc. and David Bradley's own website www.davidbradley.ie Thank you & kind regards, 77mullins — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77mullins (talk • contribs) 13:26, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

The article was deleted as there was no credible indication that David Bradley would meet our notability requirements. The article stated that David Bradley was an unsuccessful independent candidate in an election. To be notable on these grounds he would at the very least need to have been actually elected to office. Kind regards, nancy 15:04, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Crouch-Swale

How did you work that out? I'm hopeless at socks. Anyway, thanks for the hard work reverting the moves. I notice that the List of people from Reading, Berkshire also got moved. That one definitely needs a dab, as there are many places named Reading across the world. Mjroots (talk) 17:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Although I'd rather I wasn't, I am horribly familiar with the editing characteristics of Crouch and his every growing sock drawer to the extent that I can spot them at 100 paces. Sad but true. No problem re: reverting the moves - I felt partially responsible as I'd actually spotted him this morning[1] but dithered about blocking - it was the mill moves this afternoon on that clinched it for me.

Redirects

Dear Nancy. I'm sorry if you're busy, but could you please take a look at my reaction here? I want to know if redirects from the userspace to the mainspace are allowed.

Deletion of my page

The page you deleted was from the website that I am webmaster of and information that I put on the site. I am a member and the webmaster for the Southern Piedmont Historical Reenactment Society.

SCIENCEDOMAIN international

Dear nanacy Sub: Speedy deletion nomination of SCIENCEDOMAIN international I have already explained my point in my talk page and sent an email from admin email of www.sciencedomain.org. for copyright donation to wiki.

my talk page content:

I am writing my first article. Therefore to take the help from some other article regarding syntax, I have copied some material from ENI award and Taylor Francis page. I have plan to change the inside material by my own. Only I was trying to have the structure as I am not much familiar with the syntax of different structure. Any way before doing the changes you have deleted those parts.

Regarding the material of www.sciencedomain.org, I want to mention that I am the owner of www.sciencedomain.org. And the copyright of that material belongs to me. If I am taking some material from www.sciencedomain.org and putting it in wikipedia, kindly consider it that I am donating the material to wiki. Hope that my explanation clears all the doubt and clears me from the allegation of copyright infringement. Kindly remove the tag of speedy deletion please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof.kpp (talk • contribs) 18:55, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Richard Kelly Rugby League

I am bitterly dissappointed that you have deleted this page. There was/is evidence to back up that Richard Kelly played for Wakefield Trinity and some of it was already on the page. I recently posted another link from the BBC which was to an interview with Richard Kelly where the fact that he was a Wakefield Trionity player was brought up on numerous occasions. Richard has two older brothers who also played pro rugby league and there is substantive evidence that they played and that Richard is their brother. I also requested that this page was not deleted as I am waiting for articles about Richard Kelly to be delivered to me in the next couple of weeks. I am also waiting for back copies of the monthly rugby league magazine which have articles that feature Richard Kelly's time at Wakefield Trinity.There is also a publication called Wakefield Sporting Catholics which features all three brothers and details their upbringing and path through to professional sports.

I will continue my search to find further evidence of Richard Kelly's Rugby League career but I hpe you will recognise that he played during an era which was not blessed by by the convenience of the internet and web pages.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would reinstate the page you deleted and afford me the time to add further supportive articles.

Please respond to my communication by email to

[email protected] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.212.132 (talk) 22:46, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Richard, the article which I deleted consisted of the following (in entirety):

I am Richard Kelly and I created the article you have deleted along with articles about my two older brothers, Andrew & Neil Kelly Rugby League. In the one source you have found you say that it doesnt even say if I played yet the ? Is there because they can't put a figure on HOW MANY games I played , they are not questioning whether I played. Also in the same reference it states that I scored points, how could I have done this if I hadn't played? Please reinstate the article and I will then endeavour to add further references and verified sources to establish the authenticity. Thank you. Here is another link from the BBC referring to me as a former Wakefield Trinity player:

As I then went on to explain on your talk page on March 12th, I also removed the comments you added to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Kelly (rugby league) as that discussion is closed now. If you disagree with its outcome, the place to raise your concerns is at Wikipedia:Deletion review which is our forum for debating disputed deletions. Kind regards, nancy 06:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Crouch

Hi Nancy. I see Crouch is still at it. I only got the tools two weeks ago so I'm pretty new to this, but as SPI is one of the areas I want to help out on, do let me know if you need a hand sniffing for Crouch's socks, and what to look out for. Regards, --Kudpung (talk) 05:10, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kudpung and congratulations - I didn't know you were at RfA otherwise I would have dropped in and supported you; that's an area of the project that I don't visit without reason nowadays, way too toxic & childish for my liking but the downside is I sometimes miss the RfAs of people I respect. With regard to how to find Crouch's socks, I'm not sure what I can say; to be honest the ones that I have seen are because I literally stumbled upon them either completely by chance or because I saw a Crouch-like edit on my watchlist. Anyway, best of luck with the tools; I am sure you will make a fine admin. Best, nancy 12:14, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

MY PAGE WAS NOT A HOAX

i can most certainly prove that my chemical c8h3n was NOT a hoax. evidence is no problem, if you demand evidence then i shall e-mail the evidence to you. but the question is why did you delete my page "thinking it was a hoax" this was totaly un-necessary as it was NOT a hoax ( i repeat ) NOT A HOAX. if you have any argument at all to compete with mine i ask "go ahead" ? there is no way that you can possibly compete with me as i am telling the truth and you are in the wrong by deleting the truth so that the world may see the false is this wikipedia? or should i say "wiki-falsehood" or "wiki-lies" I am utterly diaappointed with theese kinds of service's firstly i would like to comment on what i actualy did , 1) i did various experiments and got tables graphs etc. 2) i checked all over the internet and from people who i know that if they ever did the same experiment (the reply was "no") and there was no such thing on the internet except for a chemical structure which i had uploaded to my page... Furthermore i was actualy planning to do further research and experiments with ishmalite (c8h3n) but as i was just in the process of doing so my page was quickly deleted and if you wish to send a private email please do so at 24th of march.Finestsolidus (talk) 10:05, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia works on verifiability not truth. As far as "your" chemical goes it does not exist in a Wikipedia context until it has been reported in reliable sources and thus the article arguably is a hoax until that time. You might also like to review our guidelines on original research which this undoubtedly falls in to. Best, nancy 10:27, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

a suggestion

ok then if i have to put my reasearch and my chemical into "reliable sources" give a suggestion on what "reliable sources" i should put them onto in order for them to be back up on wikipedia, just to say, i am in the profession of chemistry and i am quite sure that that alone is reliable but obviously wiki demands theese "reliable souces" so can you help me out considering you are the admin. i would appriciate your help. Finestsolidus (talk) 14:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I would suggest that having your findings published in any one of the publications listed at List of chemistry journals would be a good start. They are all peer-reviewed journals and would be considered a top quality secondary source. What's happening at the moment is that you are adding unsourced material from your personal experience, which is not allowed because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material. Wikipedia is in fact a tertiary source - i.e. it is a summary of reliable, published secondary sources. Best, nancy 14:25, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: Libyan no-fly zone

You're absolutely right; I goofed. Probably should have stayed out, since it was obvious that several of us had jumped on it at the same time. It just seemed that no matter who edited the page, the same "brutal intervention" intro kept showing up. I almost think we discombobulated the server. Anyway, thanks for cleaning up.

socks

Hi Nancy. I don't want to appear paranoid, but could this be another new sock for Crouch? --Kudpung (talk) 08:51, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Not paranoid at all - I'd say that one definitely passes the duck test - good catch.

1. Brand new account which creates a properly formatted and referenced & categorised article with its first edit
2. Brand new account which creates a talk page with multiple tags with its second edit
3. Articles have all the Crouch hallmarks - references to civil parish, links to listed buildings websites, links to the "church near you" website. All that's missing are some links to geograph.org!
4. Articles all written in Crouch's style & on Crouch's favoured topic of tiny settlements.

Good catch! I'll do the honours. Best, nancy 13:53, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Good. I might come across more because we're currently running a bot to catch newly patrolled pages that are getting through the net. If I find another I'll block him myself and I'll keep you updated. --Kudpung (talk) 20:02, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Maidenhead Railway Bridge, Image.

Hello Nancy,

I write, as a matter of courtesy, to seek permission to use the above noted image, from your "Wikipedia" files, in a book I am commissioned to write about railway structures. The image of Maidenhead Railway Bridge is of superb quality for my purposes and clearly illustrates everything I need to highlight in the book.

I propose the following acknowledgement of your contribution:

Good luck with the book and please do let me know the details of publication when it is ready. Many thanks, nancy 15:41, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Crouch

Hi Nancy. I think we have yet another one. New account created today, actually called User:Round Maple, which is the name of one of Crouch's many hamlets. This would be too much of a coincidence and it passes my duck test. However as I am a relatively new admin, would you mind casting a second set of eyes, and go ahead and do the block if necessary. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:26, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Is there a way to block his IP (or range block the IPs he uses) and with an account creation block? Sorry it the question sounds naïve, but I'm still learning the ropes. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:33, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

It may be possible to do something with his home IP, if it is fixed, but I think the main problem is that he usually edits from shared IPs in Libraries and Schools where a block would potentially affect multiple "innocent" editors. nancy 07:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

The Angelic Process

Deleted for "seemingly non-notable band".

http://deletionpedia.dbatley.com/w/index.php?title=The_Angelic_Process_(deleted_09_Aug_2008_at_20:13)

This seems heavy handed. I have no relation to the band, but when I wanted to find out more about them, wikipedia has nothing to say.

What is a "non-notable" band in this context? They had a record label, they had albums out. Why wouldn't going to wikipedia be the best place to start such a search? "Non-notable band" seems highly subjective, is any band you haven't heard of "non-notable"? This sort of thing is why I have so little patience for actually editing wikipedia.76.112.253.44 (talk) 02:21, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Goodness, that was almost three years ago!! First to explain the process - the page was deleted via proposed deletion - this means that an editor had nominated the page for removal with the reason given & then the nomination had remained undisputed for seven days after which the page was deleted. With regard to the notion of "non-notable" being subjective, we have many policies and guidelines in place to try and remove as much of the subjectivity as possible. The current specific criteria for musical ensemble are at WP:BAND. Kind regards, nancy 07:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Deep River Snacks

This page was deleted by you and I read your why I delete pages page. My article was nominated for speedy deletion, but I am curious as to why as I based it off similar snack company pages that didn't have anything particularly specifying why it should be included, e.g. Cape Cod Potato Chips. I made it pretty clear that I had sent an email to the company, for additional corporate information, as other pages had that information, in the discussion page.

If the reason was due to the nomination for copyright infringement, I am not exactly clear on that because the section that was tagged was the chip flavors.

In the event that I needed to wait to get the information from the company, is there a way to retrieve the work that I put into the article so as I don't have to start from scratch or is it gone for good?Sean118 (talk) 00:52, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Sean118. The article was not deleted as a copyright violation - indeed when I reviewed it for deletion I concluded, as you have, that it was not a copyright violation either of the identified external webpage or any other that I could find. However, as can be seen in the deletion log it was deleted under criteria A7 which is used for articles which do not make a credible claim of importance or significance to suggest that they might, if developed, pass our notability requirements for companies.

Palestinian Nazism deletion

as I explained.

this article was under construction. it was only raw material i put there for evaluation.

please return the page.

thanks|Jonathango| 16:18, 3 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by JonathanGo (talk • contribs)

The place to evaluate is in your userspace not in mainspace. Once I had removed all the copyright violations of third party sources from the article all that was left was (unattributed) text cut and pasted from other Wikipedia article. I also find it the very crudest kind of POV pushing that you nominate Israeli apartheid at RfD as "abusive and insulting" with one breath and in the next create an article called Palestinian Nazism. Your barefaced hypocrisy is really quite something to behold. nancy 18:20, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

officebroker.com

Hi Nancy,

You recently deleted my contributiion covering officebroker.com. I write about the serviced office industry and the role of serviced office brokers on a regular basis and believed officebroker.com worthy of a mention. The format used mirrored that of other serviced office related businesses already listed - most notibly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOS_Worldwide_Ltd - so I am unsure why it has been listed as advertising?

Any feedback you could provide so that I could adjust / learn from in order to make this and any future contributions acceptable would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards Simon (Simonmjones (talk) 08:36, 3 May 2011 (UTC))

It was written so much like a bit of marketing blurb that my first instinct was that it was a copyvio of the company's website - it wasn't as it happened. To be honest it was deleted as promo as that was what it was nominated as although it could equally have been deleted on the grounds of lacking any credible assertion of notability. Our notability requirements for companies can be found at WP:CORP which is probably a good place for you to start getting your head round the myriad policies and guidelines that govern this place. Next step would be the Five Pillars. Kind regards, nancy 18:09, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Nancy,

Thanks very much for the feedback - it is really appreciated. Given the speedy deletion status - is there any route you would suggest for resubmitting this article (alongside the additional secondary / independent citations needed to assertain notability)in order to avoid future issues?

The page is already expanded anyway with more information, so I believe "CSD A7" does not apply anymore, and my revision may quietly appear as part of the history. Thanks in advance. --Daniel. (talk) 20:32, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

In it's entirety the deleted revision, created in a single edit, consisted of:

{{lowercase title}} '''vWorker''' (http://www.vworker.com) is a website for hiring and managing [[Telecommuting|remote workers]] by Exhedra. {{stub}}

Kind regards, nancy 16:23, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, that's good. Thank you. --Daniel. (talk) 08:00, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Hudson

Please can you delete henry hudson artist page after a direct request from the artistBillthefroggie (talk) 08:51, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid that is not something I am permitted to do - the article does not contravene any guidelines or policies and so cannot be summarily deleted. If Henry has specific concerns about his bio then he needs to address them in person (or via someone who can be clearly verified as an authorised representative) following the guidelines on Wikipedia:Contact us/Article problem/Delete or undelete. I do have to say that other than some very minor vandalism there do not appear to be any issues at all with the content of that page at all which appears to be surprisingly well cited and if any criticism of the content/tone could be levelled it would be that it a bit too much on the glowing side. Kind regards, nancy 09:02, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

He feels the tatler quote very misrepresenting and potentially damaging, can we at least remove this? RegardsBillthefroggie (talk) 09:16, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Another article begun by another sock of Ryan kirkpatrick.

G'day from Oz; two weeks ago you deleted some articles I had tagged for speedy deletion on the basis of them having been started by a sockpuppet. I think 2011 United Kingdom drought and wildfires also qualifies, for the same reason. If you have a look at the archive of the SPI for Ryan kirkpatrick, you will see that the IP ranges tagged as socks are the same as most of those in the editing history, apart from this set of edits fixing some very poor spelling. As almost all of the IP editors are also socks of Ryan kirkpatrick there are therefore no substantive edits by others. In addition to the IP ranges, the edits themselves are a giveaway. These edits are very typical of Ryan's poor work, especially the section that starts, "In the Midlands forset [sic] fires...". Examples of the edits by this IP include:

• "The 2011 United Kingdom wildfires happpend [sic] between April and May 2011 the fires was caused [sic] by dry heat and strong winds. The wildfires are the wrost [sic] in the United Kingdom since records began with over 1,000 fires [sic] has been [sic] put out across the country"

• "West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service sent and [sic] 20 firefighters and a helciopter [sic] to a two mile hill fire [sic] on the moorland near Mytholmroyd over 150 fires [sic] were put out by West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service during April and the strat [sic] of May"

• "In the parts [sic] of the north west Scottish Highlands was hit [sic] by fires from Torridon, Glen Shiel, Sound of Arisaig and Inverkirkaig The [sic] biggest fire was on mountains of Kintail [sic]. A helicopter were bieng [sic] used to water bomb the fire on the hill to try and put the fires out. On the 4 May fire also strated [sic] between Lochgelly and Kirkcaldy and was put out my fire crews [sic] two hours later"

There is much, much more of a similar standard by this IP and the other IPs listed in the edit history. To paraphrase Bill Nighy's character in Love Actually, "please delete this festering turd of an article". YSSYguy (talk) 13:00, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Aaron Sanders

Hi there, I'm not sure what's going on, but the toolserver or some database that bots use seems to think that the Aaron Sanders page still exists. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Unreferenced_Biographies_of_Living_Persons/uBLPs_2009_08 and Wikipedia:Database_reports/Untagged_and_unreferenced_biographies_of_living_people. Both of these pages were updated well after May 8 when you deleted the page, but they seem to think it still exists, and still has a cleanup tag on it! Could you please recreate, and then redelete it, just to see if that triggers the databases to align properly! Thanks. The-Pope (talk) 12:18, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I restored it, manually removed the unsourced BLP tag and then deleted the article again. Hope it works! Best, nancy 17:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Björn Ibsen: Copyright violation

You have claimed a "copyright violation" on the B. Ibsen article. neither have I included copied sequences of another authors work, nor did I include a reference that is not already available to all public. The Dissertation of Louise Reisner has been made publicly available by the author (licence free) and has been stored as such on the site of the Deutsche National Bibliothek. (http://www.dart-europe.eu/full.php?id=184990)BReisnerS (talk) 18:52, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Didn't we discuss this a eighteen months ago when the article was deleted? See User_talk:Nancy/Archive 14#Björn ibsen? If the copyright status of the source has changed in the interim then that's a separate matter however the other concerns I raised at the time concerning the suitability of a cut and paste of a doctoral thesis, which by its very definition is original research, (or at least I should hope it was), for use on Wikipedia still stand. Best, nancy 14:55, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

According to wikipedia Copyrights "It is not necessary to obtain the permission of a copyright holder before linking to copyrighted material, just as an author of a book does not need permission to cite someone else's work in their bibliography. Likewise, Wikipedia is not restricted to linking only to CC-BY-SA or open-source content." I guess the "Deutsche National Bibliothek" (German State Library) can be considered a reputable source for verifying if the copyright owner (in continental Europe the copyright belongs to the author - myself) has given the authorisation to have its work published online and therefor being made accessible - which is usual for original research - (yes, it is original research) and as a Wikipedia author I also have the right to link this material to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BReisnerS (talk • contribs) 18:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I think I see the problem. You are confusing linking to copyrighted works (which we do all the time when e.g. citing news sources and is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work) with copying text from copyrighted works with a licence incompatible with Wikipedia's which is not permitted. The policy snippet you quote above is referring to the former. Best, nancy 09:30, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Request copy of deleted article "Alex Nahon"

Hi, I've been working on an article called "Alex Nahon". It was deleted recently and I would like to resubmit it in the future after spending some time improving it. I am requesting a copy of it to be restored to my userspace. I know that today is Memorial Day and you are probably busy, but when you get a free moment are you able to restore it to my userspace?

Thanks for considering my request, Puppeteerman901 (talk) 18:10, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Having read the deletion discussion I am going to decline this request. Until and unless you meet our notability requirements for biographies, any amount of "improvement" to the article will not prevent is being deleted again. Additionally the article appears to contain a lot of unsourced personal information about a living person which I am not comfortable about restoring. I suggest that you revisit this in a couple of years by which time the notability of the subject may be clearer. Kind regards, nancy 09:36, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Denial of unblock appeal for Littlemissbooknerd

As much as you might be correct to say that Littlemissbooknerd has not addressed the reasons for her block, it's not kosher for the blocking admin to review unblock requests, for obvious conflict-of-interest reasons (see "Information for administrators" at Category:Requests for unblock). I've reversed the unblock decision, but I don't feel comfortable denying it myself, since I've had prior (unpleasant) discussion with her over her contributions. I can't imagine anyone coming to a different conclusion, though; this is pretty clear-cut. Larry V (talk | e-mail) 18:03, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Request to userfy Tiger IT Bangladesh Limited

Hi Nancy,

I'm requesting you to kindly userfy the Wikipedia article on "Tiger IT Bangladesh Limited".

The company information (of Tiger IT Bangladesh Limited) that was added was done in neutral way stating the facts. Please let us know what changes you require for the page to exist. It's is the pioneer in the field of biometrics application in Bangladesh, and till today this is the only Bangladeshi company to accomplish that. This is a noteworthy achievement for a software company in our country. More importantly, many of its competitors have their entry in Wikipedia, whereas, Tiger IT ranks number one in competition. All claims about rankings were provided with detailed and accurate references for verification as well. This is also the company that had a historic contribution in running the country's first software based voter registration system in 2007-2008. A company that performed AFIS matching in 80 million records is very rare and had the largest database of this kind at the time of this achievement (in 2008). These are milestones set by not just a company, but a country.

Furthermore, if I.R.I.S. corporation can have their entry, we must allow Tiger IT's article to be here as well. Not to mention, Tiger IT's competitors NEC, SAGEM, Cogent Inc., also have their Wikipedia entries. Please rather share with me how we can make this article better, or if you need to see sources of all the facts. I'm new, so please share your assistance or if you even want to please help me on such things.

There is a discussion related to this also available at: User_talk:Freeway360i#Re:Deletion_of:_Tiger_IT_Bangladesh_Limited_Page

Deletion of Patrons and Ambasadors

Hello,

You have edited the Patrons and Ambassadors section on Pride London. I'm just wondering who you are exactly, you do seem quite authoritative and sharp in your approach ;)

Furthermore I have done a reasonable amount of contribution to Wiki and I was upset to see bad feedback on my page, with no regard for my good work. I find this abusive morally I must say. Especially when I was trying to place a little bit of information into the community.

Also seeing as you know anything, is there a way one can change their username.

Kindest regards,

Jozeph90 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jozeph90 (talk • contribs) 13:45, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jozeph90,

To answer your question "who you are exactly" I have disclosed all I wish to on my user page, but for your benefit I will repeat it here. My username is an homage to Captain Nancy Blackett, intrepid, indefatigable skipper of the Amazon, red-capped pirate, terror of the high seas and heroine of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons of whom even her doctor is bound to admit "Nancy doesn't grow safer with age". In real life I don't answer to the name Nancy but I do have a boat although Nancy Blackett would no doubt be "scornful because she is a motor boat not sail..." as she has a pair of V6s instead of sails.

I'm not sure how the copyrights issue could have been raised with you other than on your talk page. You'd clearly picked up that there was a problem as evidenced by your edit summary[3] but were still replacing text which had been cut and pasted from non-free sources. The wording of that notice has been very carefully crafted over the years through community consensus to make it as helpful and informative as possible regarding why copyright is a problem and what the implications of ignoring the policy are so I'm sorry that you find it morally abusive as I am quite sure that is not the intention.

WRT changing user names you need to go to WP:RENAME and log a request. They are usually dealt with quite promptly. Kind regards, nancy 14:32, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Carl Möller

Hi Nancy,

I would like to translate the article Carl Möller, but there's already a Carl Møller here which is a redirect from Carl Möller. To make things worse, the DAB Page Carl Moller (See Talk:) was turned into another redirect to Carl Møller, which in turn is a redirect of Carl Möller, which was then turned into a redirect to Edvard Möller, or something like this. (?) Can you make it short and turn Carl Moller into a DAB Page, Edvard Möller into what it is already, without a redirect, and Carl Møller into what it already is, again without a redirect ? I think I should take this up with an administrator first before I make things even worse. Thanks a million ! Krenakarore (talk) 00:41, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I see now, there's already a Moller Page ! Even so... Krenakarore (talk) 01:05, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Krenakarore, what I've done is:

• revert Carl Moller back to being a dab page and corrected the entry for Carl Möller
• made a one line stub at Carl Möller to stop my changes to the DAB page being reverted. I notice that some Swedish sources also spell his name with a K so you might want to create the relevant redirects from Karl Möller etc

So.... over to you...... best, nancy 05:49, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

A million kisses Nancy. Bye bye.....:) ! Krenakarore (talk) 17:19, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7

Hi Nancy Im a new user in Wikipedia and I need to publish the correct story of a case regardin my brother Edwin Otero Rivera. I have an exact account of the entire case with the official goverment evidence, which I refered on my page, how the goverment officials of the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico and an Interstate Mall, Plaza Carolina, conspired and violated civil rights against my brother.

Hi there, as has already been explained to you by others, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a soapbox. All articles must be written from a neutral point of view, reporting both sides of the story, and using inline citations (preferably ones with links to accessible content) to verify facts and establish notability. Wikipedia is not the appropriate forum for your campaign - my suggestion would be that you consider a Facebook and/or MySpace page. Kind regards, nancy 06:07, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello Nancy, please check again the content of the above collapsed box. I'm not paranoid, but in my opinion it is inappropriate to cite this information anywhere on Wikipedia, the complaint contains serious and unsourced allegations against living individuals. Wikipedia should not provide any room for this kind of personal agenda. (I mean particularly the para starting with "To bring life to this infamous script...") Just my opinion. Best regards.

Hi Nancy!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Brannel School

Hi Nancy, My name is Mark Braham, I work at Brannel School as the Head of IT & Communication Services. I have to admit, although I use Wikipedia a lot as a user, I have no idea about the technicalities relating to page creation/deletion!

I came across you as the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brannel_School lists you as one of two members who may have been involved in the deletion of the page. From reading around, it appears as if pages can be 'relisted' if someone requests it to happen and can contribute content? If so, I would like to request that the page is restored, with a view to me adding more factual content.

Dear the Honourable Nancy, How are you? Please forgive me for filling many sentences in Myoma U Than Kywe. I know you are very busy. Then, we really appreciate your duty at wikipedia.org. Now we want to add some topics about Myoma U Than Kywe (born. 1924- died 1983) at Wikipedia.org. These are:

Politician Myoma U Than Kywe pronounced ( [mjo̰ mə-ʔú θáɴ tɕwɛ̀]) was born in Thonn Gya Township in Rangoon Burma in 1924. He was a famous politician of Burma Independence. He was the leader of the conference that initiated the formation of the Union of Burma. It was during the Second World War that Myoma U Than Kywe’s life as a high minded politician started. He was educated at the Rangoon University. He was about 20 years old in 1944 and modest. “Myoma” is not part of his given name but is an honorific. “U” is not part of his given name but is an honorific. He was a Chairman of the Myoma National School. He became School Master of the Asia Youth Asiayone (1942-1945). He was elected President of the All Burma Students Union, vice president of the All Burma students Union, Vice President of the Rangoon University Students Union, President of the All Rangoon Students Union and President of the Rangoon Myoma National High School Students Union from 1946 to 1948. He was elected to above positions by the Unanimous votes of his colleagues and all students in Burma. He was a teetotaler.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CTtesting (talk • contribs) 20:05, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello CTtesting. I'm afraid it is not quite that simple...... (it never is!).... in order for copyright material to be used on Wikipedia it has to be released under very particular sorts of copyrights.

One simple way to grant permission to copy material already on line is to put that permission explicitly on the site where that material is posted. This is commonly known as a "copyleft" notice. This notice must state that your site (or portions of your site) are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts) or that it is in the public domain. For text, a good statement of release might read, "The text of this website (or page, if you are specifically releasing one section) is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)."

If you would like to allow Wikipedia to use your content, but don't want to put a license statement on the site (note that you still must release it under those free licenses), you can contact [email protected]. See here for an example permissions granting email. For text, after sending the email, place {{OTRS pending}} on the article's discussion page. Someone will reply to your email, indicating whether the content and your license is acceptable and update the page to indicate that the confirmation of the license has been received.

However, there are three things that you should consider first:

1. Are you happy to release your copyright in such a manner?
2. Is the released material actually suitable for use on Wikipedia?
3. Does CareerTech Testing Centre meet the general notability requirements for companies?

With regard to the second I would suggest that the tone of the material is unencyclopaedic and would probably be removed as advertising and I also think that the answer to the third is probably no. Further, a general rule of thumb is that you should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability - all edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability. If the achievements, etc. of your company, are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about it sooner or later.

Finally your username appears to contravene our Username policy, specifically the section on Company/group names which states that unambiguous use of a name of a company, group or product as a username is generally not permitted. Changing your username is a simple process - you just ned to choose a new one (which is withn policy obviously!) and request a change at Wikipedia:Changing username.

Hello Helgispbru. In order for copyright material to be used on Wikipedia it has to be released under very particular sorts of copyrights.

One simple way to grant permission to copy material already on line is to put that permission explicitly on the site where that material is posted. This is commonly known as a "copyleft" notice. This notice must state that your site (or portions of your site) are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts) or that it is in the public domain. For text, a good statement of release might read, "The text of this website (or page, if you are specifically releasing one section) is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)."

If you would like to allow Wikipedia to use your content, but don't want to put a license statement on the site (note that you still must release it under those free licenses), you can contact [email protected]. See here for an example permissions granting email. For text, after sending the email, place {{OTRS pending}} on the article's discussion page. Someone will reply to your email, indicating whether the content and your license is acceptable and update the page to indicate that the confirmation of the license has been received.

However, there are three things that you should consider first:

1. Are you happy to release your copyright in such a manner?
2. Is the released material actually suitable for use on Wikipedia?
3. Does Hotel Oktiabrskaya meet the general notability requirements for companies?

With regard to the second I would suggest that the tone of the material is unencyclopaedic and would probably be removed as advertising and the answer to the third is moot. Further, a general rule of thumb is that you should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability - all edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability. If the achievements, etc. of the hotel, are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about it sooner or later. Kind regards, nancy 19:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

You Deleted DreamWorks Experience

Hi Nancy,

I have read your list of guidelines of why you have deleted the page I created. DreamWorks Experience wasn't just a cut and paste page, I was uploading photo's onto the page that were photographic evidence that Kid's World was no longer in operation.

I believe that since I had photographic evidence that my page should not of been deleted and I believe that the user Themeparkgc needs to be reported as I spent lengthy time and effort getting sources for the page File:DreamWorks_Experience_1.JPG this was one of 11 photos I have to prove that the area is being refurbished.

Thankyou For Reading --Wikipedianfan (talk) 09:35, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Others have already explained at length on your talk page why what you are doing is unhelpful. Rather than have me repeat it all again here it would probably be for the best if you hopped back to your talk page and re-read the messages there. Kind regards, nancy 09:40, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hog-baiting listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Hog-baiting. Since you had some involvement with the Hog-baiting redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). I'm only here to inform you, the nominator was Chrisrus. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:34, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Nancy, would it be too much if I asked you to delete my User:Krenakarore/Sandbox ? I've got a new one on the main bar. Again... thanks dear ! Krenakarore ^TK 17:42, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage engagement strategy released

Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.

It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:31, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Lost Children

The article I edited was removed. I simply stated an oral tradition but did not know how to cite it. I know it is true what I edited/added and may have ruffled some feathers because of the oral traditions I simply posted into the article. Poeple get ruffled whe a person mentions Hitler or Jeffrey Dahmer and other monsters, but the articles and editings are not deleted, why should mine be any different? So, what is to be done now? Some freindly advice would be welcomed. Thanks, Njgst2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Njgst2 (talk • contribs) 20:24, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Njgst2. The removal of the story section from that article was absolutely nothing to do with your very small changes but everything to do with the fact that the entire section was a copyright violation of someone else's work which was introduced when the article was created and had been there way (years infact!) before you made any edits to it; normally we are quite fast at detecting and removing copyright problems but this one had slipped through the net and had been up for sometime even though someone had flagged it on the talk page when the article was created some years ago. Hope this helps to explain, kind regards nancy 06:42, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Page Triage newsletter

Hey guys!

Thanks to all of you who have commented on the New Page Triage talkpage. If you haven't had a chance yet, check it out; we're discussing some pretty interesting ideas, both from the Foundation and the community, and moving towards implementing quite a few of them :).

In addition, on Tuesday 13th March, we're holding an office hours session in #wikimedia-office on IRC at 19:00 UTC (11am Pacific time). If you can make it, please do; we'll have a lot of stuff to show you and talk about, including (hopefully) a timetable of when we're planning to do what. If you can't come, for whatever reason, let me know on my talkpage and I'm happy to send you the logs so you can get an idea of what happened :). Regards, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:51, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage newsletter

Hey all!

Thanks to everyone who attended our first office hours session; the logs can be found here, if you missed it, and we should be holding a second one on Thursday, 22 March 2012 at 18:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office. I hope to see you all there :).

In the meantime, I have greatly expanded the details available at Wikipedia:New Page Triage: there's a lot more info about precisely what we're planning. If you have ideas, and they aren't listed there, bring them up and I'll pass them on to the developers for consideration in the second sprint. And if you know anyone who might be interested in contributing, send them there too!

Regards, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 00:21, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

help triage some feedback

Hey guys.

I appreciate this isn't quite what you signed up for, but I figured as people who are already pretty good at evaluating whether material is useful or not useful through Special:NewPages, you might be interested :). Over the last few months we've been developing the new Article Feedback Tool, which features a free text box. it is imperative that we work out in advance what proportion of feedback is useful or not so we can adjust the design accordingly and not overwhelm you with nonsense.

This is being done through the Feedback Evaluation System (FES), a tool that lets editors run through a stream of comments, selecting their value and viability, so we know what type of design should be promoted or avoided. We're about to start a new round of evaluations, beginning with an office hours session tomorrow at 18:00 UTC. If you'd like to help preemptively kill poor feedback, come along to #wikimedia-office and we'll show you how to use the tool. If you can't make it, send me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org or drop a note on my talkpage, and I'm happy to give you a quick walkthrough in a one-on-one session :).

All the best, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

A big NPT update

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:

coding

• Fixes for the "moved pages do not show up in Special:NewPages" and "pages created from redirects do not show up in Special:NewPages" bugs have been completed and signed off on. Unfortunately we won't be able to integrate them into the existing version, but they will be worked into the Page Triage interface.
• Coding has been completed on three elements; the API for displaying metadata about the article in the "list view", the ability to keep the "patrol" button visible if you edit an article before patrolling it, and the automatic removal of deleted pages from the queue. All three are awaiting testing but otherwise complete.

All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.

Stuff to look at

We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.

I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.

I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 17:05, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Pedro's recall criteria

You may care to reconsider your position.[4] Malleus Fatuorum 03:21, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Why? Because you don't think I have sufficient honesty and integrity to remain? Or because Pedro doesn't think you do? If the former I should be interested in hearing more. If the latter then respectfully no. Kindest regards, nancy 06:47, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Or are you asking me to reconsider my position on Pedro's fitness for adminship? nancy 14:54, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not asking you to do anything, other than to consider the merit of your participation in such a blatantly gamed process. Malleus Fatuorum 15:16, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Ahhh I see now. Sorry, I'm not very good when people are cryptic with me - subtlety not my forte. Even if you're right in your characterisation of Pedro's recall process (and I'm not convinced you are) surely it's still better to be within than without? nancy 16:10, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Ultimately only you can decide if the benefits of being part of such a process outweigh the downside of appearing to lend respectability to it by your participation. And I'm speaking about the process in general, not just about Pedro's recall criteria. Malleus Fatuorum 16:30, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

New Pages update

Hey Nancy/Archive 18 :). A quick update on how things are going with the New Page Triage/New Pages Feed project. As the enwiki page notes, the project is divided into two chunks: the "list view" (essentially an updated version of Special:NewPages) and the "article view", a view you'll be presented with when you open up individual articles that contains a toolbar with lots of options to interact with the page - patrolling it, adding maintenance tags, nominating it for deletion, so on.

On the list view front, we're pretty much done! We tried deploying it to enwiki, in line with our Engagement Strategy on Wednesday, but ran into bugs and had to reschedule - the same happened on Thursday :(. We've queued a new deployment for Monday PST, and hopefully that one will go better. If it does, the software will be ready to play around with and test by the following week! :).

On the article view front, the developers are doing some fantastic work designing the toolbar, which we're calling the "curation bar"; you can see a mockup here. A stripped-down version of this should be ready to deploy fairly soon after the list view is; I'm afraid I don't have precise dates yet. When I have more info, or can unleash everyone to test the list view, I'll let you know :). As always, any questions to the talkpage for the project or mine. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:24, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage prototype released

Hey Nancy! We've finally finished the NPT prototype and deployed it on enwiki. We'll be holding an office hours session on the 16th at 21:00 in #wikimedia-office to show it off, get feedback and plot future developments - hope to see you there! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 03:33, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Mark Knight

You deleted Mark Knight's page? Why? He is a world-renowned producer, and you're keeping information from fans like myself and aspiring producers...it's pretty upsetting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.103.68.66 (talk) 13:54, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. Can you give me the exact name of the deleted page. Cheers, nancy 08:07, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Greetings, Nancy!

Nice boat! I was wondering if we could discuss the deletion of my band's page. (I bet you get this a lot, haha). Funny thing is that I didn't even put it up. The Angelic Process has been in several publications around the world including the following magazines: The Wire, Terrorizer, Decibel (and a few more I can't quite recall though if you need further examples I can dig them out for you). We were in the 2007 Terrorizer top albums of the year, and have had raving reviews and enjoy a wide fan base around the world. Terrorizer also interviewed us in 2007. We are often sited by other bands as a major influence and recently had another band dedicate an album to my late husband. So in our culture we have a pretty notable presence. Google us :)

If that isn't enough to have the page restored then I respect your wishes. Just found it deleted and figured it was worth a shot. Thanks for your time. ~m~ [redacted] 216.52.207.101 (talk) 19:17, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. Gosh, this is an old one - I deleted that four years ago! You'll forgive me if I don't remember doing it but looking at the logs it was removed via our proposed deletion process which is where articles on topics which don't appear to meet our inclusion criteria (in this instance it was notability are marked as such for a period of time - I think it was seven days back then - after which they are removed. It was subsequently recreated just a few months ago but was deleted by another administrator, again citing lack of notability. If you believe that the requirements set out in WP:BAND are now met there is no reason why you should not create new article although it is generally recommended that people steer clear of topics that they are personally involved in as they, quite understandably, do find it difficult to remain neutral. As a broad rule of thumb, if a topic is genuinely notable someone uninvolved will be along soon enough to write an article about it. Best, nancy 08:19, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

New Page Triage/New Pages Feed

Hey all :). A notification that the prototype for the New Pages Feed is now live on enwiki! We had to briefly take it down after an unfortunate bug started showing up, but it's now live and we will continue developing it on-site.

The page can be found at Special:NewPagesFeed. Please, please, please test it and tell us what you think! Note that as a prototype it will inevitably have bugs - if you find one not already mentioned at the talkpage, bring it up and I'm happy to carry it through to the devs. The same is true of any additions you can think of to the software, or any questions you might have - let me know and I'll respond.

Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:16, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Health problem

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because... Health problem is not the same as Medical condition or Disease. Health problem also includes social problems, fear of disease and health process activities.

Health problem: "Any concern in relation to the health of a patient as determined by the patient and/or the health care provider. Problems should be recorded at the highest level of specificity determined at the time of an encounter. 1. New problem : The first presentation of a problem, including the first presentation of a recurrence of a previously resolved problem but excluding the presentation of a problem first assessed by another provider. 2. Continuing problem : A previously assessed problem which requires ongoing care. It includes followup for a problem or an initial presentation of a problem previously assessed by another provider."

Disease: "A physiological or psychological dysfunction. It should be distinguished from illness, which is the subjective state of the person who feels aware of not being well; and from sickness which is a state of social dysfunction, ie a role that the individual assumes when ill. Disease can also be construed as a more narrow concept discernable from syndrome and complaint : a biological dysfunction on basis of well-known pathological or pathophysiological processes or with a well-known aetiology. Disease can be discerned from : 1. Syndrome which is a presumed biological dysfunction of which the knowledge of causative pathological or pathophysiological processes is not accepted as conclusive for seeing it as a DISEASE, according to the literature. A dysfunction or health problem is considered a DISEASE by professional consensus. If this does not exist it is a syndrome. 2. Complaint is not part of a DISEASE or syndrome. Disease is a concept of reality and can therefore exist without a physician's judgement. DISEASE, syndrome and complaint are congruent with diagnostic categories." WONCA international glossary for general/family practice--Raimundo Pastor (talk) 18:01, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry. Absolutely no idea what this is about. I have not edited (or deleted) Health problem. What do you want me to do? Best, nancy 21:16, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
