Eurooms

Hello NawlinWiki,

you just deleted my page (marked as G11) about Eurooms Ltd.

Could you explain what exactly is promotional? Is it the price list? I just wanted to provide an overview on average price of houseshare in London. Is there anything else I should exclude?

Thanks for answer. DHcomics (talk) 16:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • It wasn't just the price list. The whole thing was written in a promotional tone, with lines like "Providing customers with a professional services was their main goal and today there is not doubt about their success, as Eurooms Ltd. has become a model for others in branch of long term shared housing." Please see WP:NPOV and WP:SPAM. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:30, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rochdale Super League (5 Articles) + Rochdale Rugby League Nines (2 Articles)

Hi NawlinWiki, I believe you have deleted 5 articles on the Rochdale Super League, may I ask why this is? I have spent hundreds of hours adding stuff to this page, and it is a disgrace that this has been removed without notification. Can you please post the article on here, so that I can keep it for our records. Regards, Matt

  • Let's skip the personal attacks, shall we? I've been off Wikipedia in general for a few days. An amateur sports league and its teams and competitions don't meet our standards for notability, see WP:ATHLETE. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:53, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This sports league is a Semi-Pro standard. The players would be disgusted to be known as amateurs.

Homeautod

Hi NawlinWiki, Why did you delete the page about homeautod? Why was it not to your liking? It's an open source project so it's not even commercial! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Coretech69 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PhilJets

Hello NawlinWiki, About a year ago, the PhilJets page has been deleted. I would like know how it could be restored, or how a new page could be published. Could you help me on this?

Deleted YP NextHome wiki page

Hi Nawlin, I just wrote an wikipedia article on YP NextHome so that visitors could find the rental apartments very easily as I was benefited in the similar way. I noticed that it was deleted as part of advertising & promotional activity. I wrote article which was similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BuzzBuzzHome without any intention of promotion. Please let me know what sort of changes you expect me to do so that I could publish the article on wikipedia without violating guidelines.

Draft:Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery

You deleted Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery last year as blatant promotion or advertising. I am reviewing a new draft, and am inclined to accept it, but I would appreciate if you could check the deleted article (which I can't see) and verify that the new draft is entirely different (as I think it is, because I can't imagine it being thought to be G11). Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:30, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Videology

I noticed the article was deleted due to notability concerns and for advert before that. I poked around Google a little bit and found an article about them in The Wall Street Journal among others. I can't see the deleted versions, so I was hoping to get some context from you on whether there was a problem with the contents of the article, or if the subject just doesn't warrant inclusion in Wikipedia.

I have a potential COI. A contact of mine just recently got a job there; I am communicating to him that prior staff at that company have spammed Wikipedia and am trying to figure out if I can help him make a useful contribution, but notability looks kinda 50/50. I have found some decent sources at-a-glance,[1][2][3][4] but with sentiment about notability changing all the time in response to adverts/spam, it's hard to peg with precision/consistency.

Hawk'N Hawk request

Hi, I am Hawk'N Hawk and I would like to ask permission to create an article for Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series.

Unprotection Request

Hello. I was hoping you could unprotect LaToya Forever from creation so I can add an article I have written on her, it was protected in November 2013 due to being created by a banned user. Full disclosure I am being paid by someone who contacted me through Fiverr to create an article that is within Wikipedia guidelines, full sources etc. to demonstrate the notability of the subject. I have written the article and I believe it is both neutral and factual and should be acceptable within Wikipedia guidelines. The article is currently residing at User:MPJ-DK/Draft Space 2 but due to the actions of a banned user over two-and-a-half years ago it's still just a draft. I was hoping that after reading the article that you could unlock the page and let me create it?

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, NawlinWiki. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

  • Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
  • A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi NawlinWiki.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

420chan redirect

Hi, I'd like to request that the redirect for 420chan have its indefinite protection removed. Said protection was set by you in 2008, which was understandable at the time as imageboards were a dime a dozen and the article was poorly written content, however nowadays as other imageboards have come to exist and have grown to similar or even smaller sizes, whom now have their own dedicated articles (see Ylilauta and 8chan as an example) there is no reason for this redirect to not now be turned into a proper article.

Creating an article on the species Graphania averilla

I noticed that you have previously deleted an article on the above moth species. I'm drafting an article on this species as it was discovered by Averil Margaret Lysaght about whom I have also contributed to Wikipedia.

Need help with an attack category

This category had, until literally a couple of days ago, listed some Singapore-based IPs as my sockpuppets (Arbiteroftruth is my former account. I changed my name, after some advice from other Wikipedians, some years ago). I have never socked in my life, and I will gladly undergo Checkuser tests to prove that, so this category is an attack cat, and rather offensive. Can it be deleted and protected from recreation?

I just came upon this IP's attempted edits while patrolling recent changes/vandalism, and I checked the /16 range and happened to notice that you had blocked the range in the past for spamming.

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Josef Fritzl. Since you had some involvement with the Josef Fritzl redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Coming here from WP:RFPP where a request was made to remove the full protection you applied to this redirect in 2008.

I'll take it from your note in the protection log that you're okay with whatever the result of the discussion is, otherwise your input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Happy Holidays
From Stave one of Dickens A Christmas Carol

Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. Mind! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

So you see even Charles was looking for a reliable source :-) Thank you for your contributions to the 'pedia. ~ MarnetteD|Talk 03:51, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Basudev (film) - Need a favor

Hello NawlinWiki! Basudev has a redlink for the Nepali film. I was surprised because many useless promotional pages from Nepal exist while this didn't. It's arguably in the top 10 of the best Nepalese movies of all time. As such, I am certain many offline RS exist. But, not having a good library nearby which would keep such archives, I want to create a stub with only the reliable information that is available online. I have multiple hits on google books. There are a few web hits as well but Nepal doesn't have entertainment tabloids (not least online) that would qualify as WP:RS. I want to create an article but I don't want it to be deleted for the sole reason of ""being a recreation of deleted material". I think you were the one who deleted it before via WP:PROD. So, what do you think? Can I create a stub on this? Thanks! Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 06:49, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
