Penn State Dance Marathon

Hello, Could you please restore Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon (THON) or possibly Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon to draftspace? Thanks, Benjamin (talk) 13:17, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Benjaminikuta and Hoyadonis, I have restored it. I see no reason why Penn State Dance Marathon is not a necessary and sufficient title and certainly I can see absolutely no justification for a ridiculous / in the title. Make sure you explain what the (pan)hell the panhellenic bit of the title is all about because it is all Greek to me. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:16, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
    Thanks! But what about the other one? I think there might have been multiple deleted articles. — Benjamin (talk) 23:10, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Abduljabbar Surajo Guga - Deletion

User talk:Tvincent88#Speedy deletion nomination of Abduljabbar Surajo Guga. This is regarding the article for Abduljabbar Surajo Guga, I want know know what type of copyright privacy information do you need from Katsina Post? Abduljabbar Surajo Media Team provided the local news paper the article I wrote. If you check the information is a exactly the headings and structure we have on here. Here is the link for the news paper website showing the date of publication, if you go through my sandbox and review my edit history you'll know I am telling the truth. Help me to the right direction on how to fix this, apparently my intent was never to plagiarism. "http://katsinapost.com.ng/2019/09/12/meet-abduljabbar-guga-from-katsina-it-director-of-an-american-company/" (Katsina Post). They knew I am wring the Wikipedia article so that reached our to gather more information and then I sent them everything I wrote on here. Let me know how to fix this. Thanks Sincerely, Tomas Vincent — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tvincent88 (talkcontribs) 14:16, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

  • (talk page stalker) @Tvincent88: Instructions on how to donate text to Wikipedia are located at: WP:DONATETEXT. However, even if you followed those instructions it is is unlikely we would use the material. It isn't often that we find content not on Wikipedia that is written in an encyclopedic way, which includes an adherence to WP:NEUTRAL. The article you copied from is not written in this neutral style, and we would not accept this content as is. We might (might) use it as a reference, but that's the most we would use it for. Regardless of the source of the content for the article, you should carefully read and understand WP:NPERSON before beginning to write this again. Further, please constrain your efforts in draft form until others have had a chance to look at it. Else, it's likely it would be rapidly deleted again as it was here. This is really for your benefit, as it will give you time to develop a nascent article into something we would move into article space rather than delete. If you have questions, let me know. Thanks, -- Hammersoft (talk) 22:20, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

InLobby

Dear Mr. Haworth, I am writing to ask you change the protection level of an article. In 2011, you deleted an article called InLOBBY because of the advertising and promotion. You also made it fully protected. Not long ago I got an assignment from my Writing Skills professor to write about a travel company, and I chose InLOBBY, as it is a very popular company in my country. However, when I looked for some information about it in Wikipedia, I found nothing. As I have gathered a great deal of information on this topic, I would like to write an article about it here. So I need you to change the protection level to be able to make it come into reality. Thank you in advance. Elenmelkonyan123 (talk) 2:15 PM, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

  • I view your story of a writing skills assignment with the greatest scepticism - you have not entered your name against any school or university project. But I will take you at your word. Use AfC to create draft:inLobby. (Even if the firm shouts the word lobby everywhere, we do not need to do so here.) If the draft gets accepted then unprotection of the mainspace title will be uncontroversial. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:39, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Everything is clear. Thank you. Elenmelkonyan123 (talk) 12:29 PM, September 17, 2019 —Preceding undated comment added 12:29, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Test edit

Hello. I need to apologize for this page [1], which wound up in the article space (main space) by accident. You correctly speedy deleted the page. It was actually meant to be one of my sandbox pages - temporarily. I'm an experienced editor [2] so you can imagine that a mistake like this is embarrassing for me. Just wanted to let you know the circumstances. Also, obviously this was a good call on your part. Regards ---Steve Quinn (talk) 15:43, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

File:Grand Central Solari.jpg

What the heck? I tried to contest the speedy deletion tag (do article tags allow you to remove them but for some reason file tags don't?) and was at work today, and you immediately deleted the file? I had a pretty clear fair use tag and very descriptive rationale. As explained earlier, WP:F7 does not apply because the image was "the subject of sourced commentary" (F7b). Why not talk to me first? I've been editing here a decade; this is an easy way to get me to want to stop. — ɱ (talk) 04:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Someone who has been editing here a decade ought to know how to link to an image description page: thus. But I do note that you worked out that the relevant image in this page is in fact a "thumbnail". It looks like all my efforts - see the talk page - may come to nothing. The deletion arguments are probably unanswerable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:50, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

... I know how to link to an image description page. I didn't think I needed to link you directly to a then-empty page that you would remember enough to know how to reply. And yeah, I am very experienced with pulling images off of websites, even searching through the website code or editing the url to find hidden original-quality versions. ɱ (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Providing a link is simply a matter of courtesy. Sure, I found the image but I would have found it with fewer clicks if you had provided a link. Note that Whpq provided a link in the message below. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:28, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Can you please put the content i wrote for Draft:Arnold P. Gold into the non-public draft space ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thehornet (talkcontribs)

  • So where is this special "non-public draft space"? The ordinary draft: space is, of course, totally publick. OK, pages there are tagged with <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/> but Wikipedia's own search engine indexes them and anybody can find them with enquiries such as: special:prefixIndex/draft:arnold. Your article cannot be restored because it was a copyvio but I can let you have the text - read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:28, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Imagineer Technology Group Page Deletion

Hi there, I saw that you deleted my draft for an Imagineer Technology Group page. This was my first attempt at creating a page, so I apologize if it didn't fit the guidelines - can you please let me know how it can be improved to a point where it could be approved? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 606Orbs (talkcontribs) 21:55, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

  • It may seem trivial, but when I see an article starting with an <h1> heading it screams to me: "newbie and spammer who has never looked at any other articles". That bit I have fixed. The rest is up to you.
Curb Safe Charmer, I know it is spam but it is in draft space so please allow 606Orbs a chance to try and improve it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:28, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Yes, I am happy for them to have the opportunity to improve it. Lets see how they get on. If you saw my recent question on the AfC talk page I'm keen to strike the right balance between welcoming first-time editors and discouraging promo. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:59, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

I attempted to rewrite based on WP:GNG, taking out information that might be considered promotional, and published the changes on the draft page. It's a little sparse but in my opinion there are enough reliable sources to warrant the page. Please let me know if this is page would now be deemed acceptable, or if there are any other changes you'd recommend I make. I'm still learning my way around editing so any advice is much appreciated! — 606Orbs (talk · contribs) 16:41, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Many thanks Cn5900 (talk) 07:47, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

I'm highly dubious about this - this content has been evolving since 2005 at the old Machiavellianism, now renamed Machiavellianism (politics), where you will see it in the history. If it really is a wholesale repeat, this is no doubt because the other source has copied Wikipedia. In any case, we need the subject and you should not have removed the whole article. Please restore it. Looking at the claimed source, clearly an essay by a not very good student, dated 2015, I recognise, copied wholesale near the top of page 18, a passage I wrote myself for St._Bartholomew's_Day_massacre#Reactions "It was in this context that the massacre came to be seen as a product of Machiavellianism, a view greatly influenced by the Huguenot Innocent Gentillet, who published his Discours contre Machievel in 1576, which was printed in ten editions in three languages over the next four years....". You can see it in this version from 2010. The whole crappy piece is clearly made up largely by chunks of many WP articles - check out his section at the end repeating our article Machiavellianism in the workplace. The article even includes our old Machiavellianism, now renamed Machiavellianism (politics) in the bibliography, with the note "All websites have been seen between 10-20th of December 2015". Frankly, you should not have been fooled by this. The article gets lots of views and has many links to it. — Johnbod (talk) 14:27, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

  • I have emailed you the text. Feel free to restore it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:34, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Well, someone else revived it, and I have now added the version you emailed me, so some other poor admin will have to do a history merge, since you evidently aren't going to. Another fine mess .... Johnbod (talk) 03:50, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, RHaworth! I saw that you moved Template:Quảng Bình Province to a title without diacritics, presumably as a result of this tag. That user has been starting RM discussions and then trying to anticipate the results by speedying the move targets – I've declined a dozen or more of them. For all I know, he/she is right about every single one. However, in this case I think it may have been right before – our article on the province is at Quảng Bình Province. Reverting to the status quo ante would allow the move discussion to take its natural course, if you feel so inclined? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:24, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

  • Justlettersandnumbers, I don't see any reason why the discussion should take its natural course anymore. The move has been carried out, and I'm ok with that. Please don't be too harsh on everything. RM has more than enough discussion to deal with every day, while this one is not that big of a deal, since renaming this title does not make such significant difference (though it looks awkward to leave one template with diacritics, while others don't). Thus it should not take such a long process. I am just requesting because I can't do it myself. If there's any other way faster than that, please let me know and I'm happy to do that next time. — Cn5900 (talk) 17:49, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Well, RHaworth, perhaps for the reason I gave above: our article on the province is at Quảng Bình Province? I repeat, I've no idea whether the move was right or wrong, and I care not one jot either way. But I kind of thought that letting the RM discussion take place would allow interested editors to reach consensus on that, rather than allowing one somewhat disruptive editor to determine the outcome. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

  • RHaworth, I guess I'm just gonna ask you to move articles for me then. In fact that's the thing I don't like about RM, since it takes so long, while we know for sure what the outcome should be. Moreover, the RM discussion I listed to move the articles about Vietnamese municipality only had 2 conversations in it, meaning that not many people are interested in it. Then why should it take such a long process, while not many people will discuss it? I'm only listing it on RM because I was blocked from moving it. I wouldn't have wasted time on that if I could do it myself. — Cn5900 (talk) 02:30, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
  • I don't seem to see the snowball clause being invoked nowadays. But I think it applied clearly to the move of the template. As to the articles themselves, I saw several popping up at CAT:CSD but I avoided getting involved because matters in that area were not immediately clear to me. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:40, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. You deleted a dab page I created. I can't see it now, obviously, but the only time I create those types of dabs is for when there is a dab page in a hatnote or "See also" section, as per WP:INTDABLINK.

Your deletion of MapKing article post

(talk page stalker)@Eagleash: It wasn't much of a copyvio; though having removed all close paraphrasing (and revision deleted the rest), there isn't much left. It's a marginal case for MfD to be honest; some people will defend reality TV contestants, but I tend to err more on the side of WP:BLP myself as the sourcing for them is often horrible tabloid stuff. — Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:36, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
@Ritchie333: The original sandbox draft (which I can no longer see but presumably you can) seemed to me to a copy and paste of the first 23 of the bio page including all the grammar anomalies etc. Apparently RH thought it 'dodgy' too. However, if you think it's OK after some fettling that's fine by me! No doubt it will be resubmitted at some future date. I agree about the notability of reality 'stars' though. The first few series of Big Brother (UK) produced sigcov for a goodly number of contestants and some have developed media careers. After TV coverage was reduced and later Channel 5 took it on...not so much. Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 03:17, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Since when has "One-sentence bio of completely non-notable individual" been an appropriate use of WP:G6? I'm in a cheery mood, so your response will not make me cross, but just think carefully before you hit "submit", please. — Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:34, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

  • I have said this before: if you see an action of mine that you disagree with, just revert it. So, teach me by example: restore the article and then take whatever action you consider appropriate. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:59, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

I don't want to restore it, I just want to discuss policy with you. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:05, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

  • That I saw the page at all was due to an edit conflict: I was looking at the 2019-10-01 12:31:10 state of the page which was open in my browser. You looked at the page and decided the speedy tag was "wrong". I looked at the page and decided we might as well delete it. But I should have changed the deletion reason. Your action and mine were both well within the limits of "policy". — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:27, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Removal of Weddingz - Moved to Draftspace

Hi, I saw that you deleted my Wiki page of Weddingz company & now it has been moved to draftspace. It is a notable company with references from a big site that's why I created it. I was informed, my article looked promotional. I was having a conversation on the same with 'discospinster'. She told me what she felt looked promotional & I removed those things straight. I would request you to kindly visit my Weddingz Draftspace & share your views whether it seems okay now.. Because now I have removed revenue growth, increase in vendors & employees. I would require your help & guidance to re-publish this page. Kindly take out your time & give me a feedback. If you think there is some other information that I need to remove, I will do it gladly. Once you give a thumbs up, I would like to make it live. I didn't intend to make it promotional nor I thought I was promotional so I might need guidance from experienced users.

Awaiting for your positive revert. Please share your valuable feedback. Regards, Shrishti Shrishti Jhamnani (talk) 18:50, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Just wanted to inform you I have submitted my draft for review. Thanks for your help & guidance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shrishti Jhamnani (talkcontribs) 04:49, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

I disagree with deletion of Filtrator

Dear RHaworth, "If you believe that this decision was made in error..., please contact the administrator who carried out the deletion." So I am contacting you. Please carefully consider all arguments at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion#Filtrator. I believe there are SEVERAL reasons why G11 does not apply in this case! Please undelete my page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VictorPorton (talkcontribs) 08:53, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

  • I agree with you: {{db-spam}} was somewhat inappropriate. {{Db-repost}} would have been a much better deletion reason. So what has changed since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Filtrator to make this topic notable? You could re-submit it via AfC but I think it would be a waste of your time. Incidentally, always check your links when you create an article - can you see the important difference between posets and posets? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:42, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Deletion review for Filtrator

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Filtrator. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -- VictorPorton (talk) 13:39, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Why was Draft:Kashmira Panache deleted?

Hi, I had submitted my first article but found out that you have deleted it!!! Why have you done that? It was surely not promotional or advertisement! If you believe some portions need to be changed I would have done that. Please do undelete the draft Draft:Kashmira Panache If there are corrections needed, I would happily correct it and resubmit ! — Sayujsmenon (talk) 16:25, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

  • Sayujsmenon, you probably have a CoI but draft space is a place where people should be allowed to make articles un-spammy. So I have restored it.
Harshil169, please allow the draft to be reviewed. We can allow it six months to live! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:27, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Lukman Lukku

Why did you delete the page Lukman Lukku which I have created few days ago without any notification? If you give me a chance, I will rectify the errors if any, as soon as possible I can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suvikkrishnan (talkcontribs) 10:06, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

  • You have your chance. Create it at draft:Lukman Lukku and let a regular draft reviewer review it. Do not move it to mainspace yourself. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:27, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

You Deleted A Page Name Hemant Lochav

You Deleted A Page Name Hemant Lochav. Can You restore It Again? and also approve It. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheORKMedia (talkcontribs) 10:35, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

  • Pages draft:Hemant lochav, Hemant lochav and Hemant Lochav have all existed but none of them were deleted by me. It looks like an hopelessly spammy autobio. The last section shows how far the author is from understanding what an encyclopedia is: "I am sorry to say that I won't be able to accept your invitation/association".

Can you restore Urth Caffe

Hello I would like Urth Caffe restored please because I have added several references that should make it more than notable enough for Aiki requirements. Also I have uploaded an image/logo for this article and I am afraid it will be deleted if the article is not restored as soon as possible. Yallayallaletsgo (talk) 00:18, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

  • Log in if necessary then go to Urth Caffe and find out what I did with a time stamp of 2019-10-04 22:51:44. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:27, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Liberation Road

That website is not the owner of the text I submitted with Draft:Liberation Road. I took the text from the predecessor organization's wiki entry, as did, presumably, the website in question. — Iskander Khan (talk) 05:57, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi RHaworth, please help me move Cao Lãnh District, Đồng Tháp to Cao Lãnh District or delete Cao Lãnh District so I can do the move myself. There's only one district in Vietnam named Cao Lãnh, so the provincename Đồng Tháp can be omitted. — Cn5900 (talk) 18:46, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

brain injury medicine article

Thanks for reviewing the brain injury medicine article. It was deleted due to typos. I am not sure what typos you were referring to. Do you have any recommendations on improving the article?

Willing to submit code to geohack?

Hello, Roger. I don't know if you've seen the pings at my talk page. The Helmert transform code (helm_gb.php) you shared with me as part of the os/coor_g code would fix some longstanding bugs in geohack. Would you be willing to generate a pull request? Or did that code come from User:Egil? Thanks for your help! —hike395 (talk) 09:22, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

A pull request is poorly named: it's a request by a developer to an owner of an open source software package to submit new code. Geohack has an outstanding bug in UK maps, where a lat/long is assumed to be in the OSGB36 coordinate system when it is converted to OS grid ref.
The Helmert transformation code (helm_gb.php) you shared with me exactly fixes this bug. I'm reluctant to submit the code myself, because that implies that I wrote and understand the code. So I was wondering whether you would consider submitting the code yourself. If you don't want to do that, could you tell me whether you wrote helm_gb.php? If not, do you remember where you got the code? —hike395 (talk) 02:53, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Program

I see that you deleted my page for the Commonwealth Graduate Engineering Program as unambiguous advertising. It was not meant to be so. CGEP was the first program of its kind that deserves to be remembered in encyclopedic form. I would appreciate the chance to edit it to bring it into compliance, but can’t figure out how to access the source. Is there any way to recover it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whg2n (talkcontribs) 19:57, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Owl project

Hi, you've deleted the Owl Project page due to "Unambiguous copyright infringement", pointing at http://www.artsjobs.org.uk/arts-news/post/owl-project-workshop-light-seeking-stickbots/ This is not the case - the page you pointed at is clearly dated, and newer than the page I wrote. If there is copyright infringement, it's the person writing that advert. I'm going to try to reinstate the page. Please join the talk page if you have doubts. — Yaxu (talk) 21:51, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Damn, it's not in the google cache or wayback machine. I can't believe all that work was wiped so easily :( I don't suppose you took a backup?) — Yaxu (talk) 21:57, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

I guess we could copy from the advert, but there were a lot of references that aren't in that ad. — Yaxu (talk) 22:05, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
