Yesterday i created a new page with corporate content of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. Thats a totally different approach then the artcile 'Port of Rotterdam'. All my effort is gone and I kindly ask you to put it back please. If you look at the content it's not the same. I know it because I work at the Authority. You have said also that the article is merged with Port of Rotterdam article, but I dont see the content I created. Please explain! --Ketelbinkie 07:37, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
The content isn't gone -- it's still there in the page's history. You are free to revert my change. However, you should understand that, other than the factual content that the Port of Rotterdam Authority is a joint venture of the Municipality of Rotterdam and the Dutch State (a fact that I did merge into the Port of Rotterdam article), the rest of your article was highly promotional in tone. And since you admit that you work the Authority, you have a conflict of interest and should be careful to avoid any such promotion. Rather than recreate the Authority page, I suggest you edit the Port of Rotterdam page to add any non-promotional content you feel is necessary. Wikipedia tries to keep only one article on any single topic, so that all editors may concentrate on improving the single article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:59, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your article is a mess; it is impossible to tell from the text you have created what it is you are trying to write about. It's not clear if you are writing about a book, or a family, or a place or what. Since Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, article that do not provide enough context about their subject to help other editors collaborate are meaningless and pointless. If you would like time to clean up the article, you should do so in your own user space. Reading through your user talk page, I see that this suggestion has been made to you in the past. Please follow that suggestion. Further, if you continue to make threatening remarks on my or other users' talk pages, you will be reported to Wikipedia administration, and likely have your editing privileges suspended.

eg i have added additional information re Seafield Tower , since
(a.my Family Owned it
b. its now a pile of rubble , so there is only one sentence , saying " it was abandoned in 1733"
c. i had thougth , that i would be helpful and add a bit of additional information such as , yes , it is a pile of rubble , however teh significatnce , of it was , that it was part of the Moutray holdings , it was sold in 1618 , when they then moved to roscobie , and then was sold by archibishop law to melville . who then abandoned it .
i am interested in how/ when it was destroyed, as many people who walk past it with their dogs, may be, along the coastal path .
other than that , other family members, may be interested in it , hence, the reason i added the information .
you , however, have removed, the information i have put up , so that all it says is " it was abandoned in 1733:
how is that :
a . helpful?
b. constructive ?
i believe you are simply a deletionist , and am getting very worn out , and frustrated dealing with you .
if the world consisted of people like you where would we be , as you are not adding anything , but simply removing things, even after 5 mins , before giving anyone else the chance, to decide,
what do you propose about this , as i feel you are quote vexatious , and am going to have to get advice on how to deal with your behaviour .
it is wasting my precious time , and yes i am adding relevant parts of my family history , as that is of historical , record, in teh national archives of scotland , england , ireland , and the national archives in washington , so i will continue to include the relevant informaiotn and who are you to stop me , —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moutray2010 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If the information you are adding is "part of the historical record", then please provide reliable sources for such information. The fact that "other family members" may be interested in your information does not make it notable. If you would like to publish information for your family members to read, you are free to launch your own family blog. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and tries to maintain certain standards. You have stated several times that you are new and trying to learn how things work here. I suggest that you begin by reading "Your first article", followed by "The Five Pillars". These will give you some valuable insight into what information is needed (and, perhaps more to the point, what information is not needed) to make an encyclopedia article.

I'm writng to you for two reasons: Firstly an item posted as headed above was deleted by Charlesdrakew yesterday without feedback. I find it difficult to understand the wiki hierarchy, possibly due to the limititations I have regarding some concepts as as Asperger. You helped last year to agree/straighten out the entry for the Haywards Heath Referendum Group which drake has also now deleted, and I've really worked hard to ensure that the entry for the Broadway Group is neutral/factual/relevant so basically is it me being unreasonable or have I simply run into a self appointed guardian of Sussex entries who will only approve his own entries? Is drakecharlew legit and if not, how do I complain formally to stop his behaviour? Any help you can provide really would be appreciated.

First of all, one does not sign content on articles. Signatures are encouraged on talk page posts, but not on content added to actual articles. Secondly, one does not engage in discussions of article content within the article itself, as you did here. Such discussions are to take place on article talk pages. When Charlesdrakew (talk·contribs) reverted your additions about the Broadway Residents' Group, you should have engaged in a discussion at Talk:Haywards Heath rather than simply revert his edit. In this case, I'm inclined to agree with Charles that the Broadway Residents' Group is not a group worthy of encyclopedic note. They appear to be little more than a group of concerned citizens trying to get their local council's attention. Since they have received no press (at least no reliable sources were provided), the information you have provided is unverifiable, and thus not appropriate for Wikipedia.

I should have been more careful. In my haste to respond, I wrote in the wrong tense. I used'Bold text' to be her publicist. Now, having had three members of my family die of Hemochtomatosis (undiagnosed until too late) I support all her efforts in any way I can. Like Nancy Steinbeck I have become her unofficial PRO. I don't consider that a conflict of interest. I believe that she did indeed "make the world aware of HHC."
Lack of info and careless reading seems to be contributing to the proposed deletion of TOM WARDER[edit]
Inventions:
If I had been permitted to post images of the Newsweek and Sunday Express articles, it would have been clear that the names of Tom and Selby Warder were included in the article. Then, about the article concerning the Incubator --- the point is that he saw possibilities in scrap iron - a strong character trait - and accompanied the sick kids during their flights.
Music
Did your other critic notice that Tom Warder had a very popular and successful dance-band after the war? I can send him a link sothat he can hear it for himself.
Regarding the bottle cap opener, there was a direct quote from the Newsweek article, and it did not mention the brothers' names. The fact that you have now changed the text of the quote tells me that either the information was misquoted before, or it is misquoted now. Since I do not have access to a 1963 South Africa version of Newsweek, I had to rely on the quote provided. Regarding the incubator -- I do not argue that Mr Warder was a clever and compassionate man. That is laudable. But it is not notable, and notability and verifiability are the keys to inclusion of articles on Wikipedia. As for Mr Warder's musical career, some links verifying that would be very nice. And please, not links to blogs, or to record producers sites, or to personal reminiscences, but links (or even unlinked citations) to articles in independent reliable sources that verify that, not only did Mr. Warder have a musical career, but that it was significant. Phrases such as "considered one of the finest swing mandolin players of his time" require citations for verification. Since a search for "Tom Warder" and "swing mandolin" shows only self-published sources, I can't provide the needed reference, so you, as the author who made the claim, must. Finally, I should note that Graeme Bartlett (talk·contribs) has insisted on using your first name in discussions on Talk:Tom Warder, leading me to assume that you are, in fact, his widow. While I admire your devotion to your husband, Wikipedia is not a place to memorialize our loved ones. It is an encyclopedia, and the information it contains needs to be factual, neutral and verifiable. If you feel the need to post a memorial to your husband, there are any number of web hosts (many free) that will suit your needs. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:12, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hello,
I'm saedeh mottaghin and i wrote an article in wikipedia, it is a biography of a living person. it's about a professor, Dr.Mohammad Reza Marvi Mohajer,i studied all the standard terms about making an article. my references are reasonable enough. Dr.Mohajer wrote 3 books which are published and many articles in different languages he is not a novice professor with no awards. please consider this article again. i really don 't know how to find more reliable sources and satisfy wikipedia! please help me(Saedeh mottaghin (talk) 16:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC).)[reply]
Your references all verify that Dr. Mohajer has written books and articles, but they don't verify that these books and articles have had a noticeable impact on his field of study. Since Dr. Mohajer is a university professor, the guidelines of WP:Academic are relevant. Also, the article you have published is little more than Dr. Mohajer's resume. If you disagree with my assessment, you are free to add your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr.Mohammad Reza Marvi Mohajer. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:46, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the page is to survive (which I don't believe it should, but you might convince me otherwise), you must provide details with cited references to indicate that Dr Mohajer is notable under Wikipedia guidelines for notability of academics. The article will need to be rewritten -- it should follow an outline along the lines of:
Lead -- Who is Dr Mohajer and briefly why should anyone care about him
Biography -- where he was born, and where he was educated, and any other facts about his early life that are relevant. For an academic, the fact that he played football at university or that he is a particularly good singer is irrelevant; only those facts that relate to his development as an expert in forestry should be included.
Academic activities -- a prose write up of the highlights of his academic career, generally listed in chronological order. It is not necessary to list every course he has ever taught, but a description of key contributions to the field of forestry, such as important papers he has written, or presentations he has given, and especially any awards he has received. A terse listing of dry facts such as you have provided is appropriate for a resume, but not for an encyclopedia article.
All of the facts listed in the article should include a reference to an independent source to verify the fact. (See WP:Citing sources for information on how to create such citations.) The professor's own website is not considered an independent source, and should not be used as a reference.
I see your name on patrols and such, please have a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ReVamp; somehow this article has no comments except for first-time commenters, and established editors like you are nowhere to be found. I don't think there's a chance in the world this band is notable right now; maybe I'm wrong, but I would at least like some "valid" votes at this AFD.

I think your characterization of the contributors to this discussion as "first time commenters" is somewhat off the mark. Alpha Ursae Minoris (talk·contribs) has made over 3000 edits, and Fiftytwo thirty (talk·contribs) also has over 3000 edits. Beeblebrox (talk·contribs) is an admin with over 37,000 edits. I'm not sure how much more experience you'd want in that discussion.

I am moved to post my opinion after having read on Facebook that this article might be deleted and I wish to state that I am against your doing that.
Before setting up this account and logging in, I studied the situation very carefully, and I was surpised to find that opinions expressed by editors, even after having been discounted by others who, like myself, have gone through the talk pages, continue to crop up repeatedly. For instance the airy dismissal of Tom Warder's band...I belong to a generation of "groupies" who loved their music.
I also clicked onto a link on the main page (under the message about possible deletion) where it is stated that editors are available to make an article more "neutral." Well, why don't you guys do that? Why throw out the entire baby with the dishwater? As for being the "catalyst" for the establisment of the CHS society. Did you read the part about the "newly-diagnosed daughter"? I think I also saw, somewhere in "Talk' that it was her diagnosis that provided Marie with the knowledge about a genetic link, and having witnessed her huband's suffering that was real catalyst; on a smaller scale like the bombing of Pearl Harbour which made the Americans declare war.
I am about to post a link to the only available recording of Tom Warder's band.
As this article has been nominated for deletion, all remarks concerning its retention or deletion should be made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Warder. However, as a new user who has created an account apparently for the sole purpose of commenting on this article, you should understand that single purpose accounts are generally discounted at AFD discussions. An AFD discussion is not a vote; it is a discussion among various editors about the merits of an article with respect to the existing Wikipedia policies and guidelines.

I appreciate that this article may upon fist appearance have appeared to have little to no value as a contribution to wikipedia. However, your criterion for placing the deletion request was based on the assumption that I was writing as an addition to existing information regarding spoons, as opposed to information regarding a cultural sign in a cult internet based cartoon series:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salad_Fingers#Episode_1_-_Spoons

I'm sorry that I couldn't read your mind from the information that had been posted, but since it made absolutely no reference to Salad Fingers, I really had no way of knowing. However, even with that knowledge, the article really has no point.

As per the said exchange, I operate first and foremost by policies and guidelines, plus a dose of basic common sense. There is nothing here which indicates that all new articles created incrementally must be done in user space, and there is nothing which states that an article must meet inclusion guidelines within one minute of its existence. Until these requirements are cast in policy, I do not believe my editing style is to be faulted, and I see little need to change something I have been doing without trouble for over six years.--Huaiwei (talk) 15:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Remember the article you create will be deleted quickly if it is not acceptable. Wikipedia has a new pages patrol division where people check your new articles shortly after you create them.
While this is not a policy, it is a guideline, and it should be followed. If you don't want your articles deleted summarily, create them in your user space. In the case of the article you created, not only did your first draft fail to indicate notability, the tagging editor's search failed to find any indications of notability. (Admittedly, that search was probably limited, but his actions were valid and in good faith.) You are free to continue editing as you have for years, but you do run the risk of having your new articles tagged for deletion if they contain nothing other than an infobox. My suggestion is just that, a suggestion; a way for you to avoid such problems in the future. Take it for what it's worth. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still, I don't see how your article covers a topic that isn't already covered at Network virtualization, specifically Virtual LAN. If the material is unique enough to merit its own article, the article needs to be referenced. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:19, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:05, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan - thanks for chiming in.

Pugalur does not mean TNPL. TNPL is one of the company in pugalur.

TNPL comes in between Nanjai and punjai pugalur. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malaiappasamy (talk • contribs) 14:44, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you have misunderstood my intentions. I understand fully that TNPL is but one company that exists at Pugalur. However, the article titled TNPL Pugalur appears to be about the town in general, rather than about the company. As such, the information at that article should be included in Pugalur. My contention is that the article TNPL Pugalur should not exist at all. Since this discussion relates to the merge proposal I have made, it should be discussed the link provided in the merge proposal box on the article, not here on my talk page. I will copy these posts to the appropriate page; please make all further comments regarding the topic there.
Just covering about TNPL pugalur is not enough.Have you covered about Thottakurichi,Kalakurichi these villages also comes under punjai pugalur.TNPL pugalur is separate town panchayat just cover about that alone under "TNPL pugalur".I will cover about Nanjai and Punjai areas in Pugalur. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.8.211.11 (talk) 04:50, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, but if you come across ship articles that are a mess again, maybe it would be better to leave them and request assistance at WT:SHIPS.

You appear to have done a great job with the article.

Any particular reason for this edit, creating a red-link where no link existed before? If Clement Finch had, or merited, an article, I could understand the change, but it doesn't seem that he will be written up any time soon. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:09, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Let me know if there is anything lacking in the Clement Finch article that I created a few minutes after you left your message. Before creating the article, I searched Wikipedia for articles that mentioned his name, and the edit I made to the Marie Warder article was deliberately made to create the red link. I clicked on that red link when creating the article based on obituaries published by The New York Times and other national newspapers. Alansohn (talk) 20:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, it all looks good. I had searched on Finch before, as I have been heavily involved in patrolling edits to the Marie Warder article, and I had not previously found indications of notability.

One last question I have: Does Wikipedia have any exemptions for the referencing of non-notable software projects that are new and have therefore not received enough attention in credible sources?
No. If the project is too new to have received attention, it will have to wait until attention has been paid (which, for many projects, may be never). WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Your best bet would be to read through and understand "Your first article", which will give you guidance on choosing a topic, gathering references, and writing the article according to Wikipedia standards. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:01, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the nominating Open Rails for deletion, I can see that you are one of those people who considers it of the utmost importance to make sure Wikipedia completely prudent in every way, shape and form.
I wish you well to achieve this through the continued practice of deleting photos, links, and entire paragraphs of text, and in this case, removing an entire article, for the fulfillment of the vision of Encyclopedic purification.
I trust that in this quest, that you do not mean for this to happen at the expense of other contributors (like newbies such as myself who don't know the ins and outs of wikipedia) by citing "Noteability" or Copyright information as a basis for deletion of a contributor's work and I hope that you do not intend for the work that you do on Wikipedia to be seen as questioning the beliefs of others.
Sarcasm noted. Wikipedia has a goal: to be an online encyclopedia. In striving to achieve that goal, it has set various policies and guidelines about what should and should not be included. Every hobbyists software project does not belong in the encyclopedia. In order to assure that fairness holds, Wikipedia has established some fairly clearcut guidelines as to what makes a subject acceptable for inclusion. This includes all of the criteria listed at Wikipedia:Notability. I'm sorry if you don't like these guidelines. You are free to open a discussion at Wikipedia Talk:Notability or at any other appropriate venue within Wikipedia to voice your concerns. Or, you are free to go to some other free web hosting service to try to promote this software. One of the comments made on User talk:Walterconklin was that the author was trying to use Wikipedia to "inform the Wikipedia community and others about the software". This sounds like a person trying to use Wikipedia to increase the visibility of their project, which falls outside of the guidelines for the proper use of the encyclopedia.
And yes, it does happen that some very well-meaning people come and put some effort into an article and it gets deleted. This is probably very frustrating. Those people would be less frustrated if they would read the guidelines before writing an article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:25, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I saw your WP:3O request regarding Frozen Ark, but I'm not really sure the 3O process is well suited to handle a situation where one editor is unwilling to discuss his/her edits. You will probably need to look into other avenues for dispute resolution here.

Hi Wikidan, I have no idea how I am meant to contact you about the Frozen Ark page as I am a newbie. I didn't realise that someone was trying to counteredit me, I thought wikipedia had gone strange. Can you let me know what the problem is with the page, because this has wasted several hours of my work time for the Frozen Ark team. Are you offically wikipedia? If you are, I am awfully sorry for the mixup. If you could let me know where the problems are with the page, I will do my best to address them.

Reply from alexm1313 ** Dear Wikipedia editors,
I am glad we can talk on this, sorry about previous non-communication, I am new and I am sorry if I offended you. Ok, I have taken your comments on board and I agree with some of them. I am a Scientist called Alex Marshall at the University of Nottingham, in the UK.
(1) What is your level of Scientific experience to be able to make some of your comments? As in who are you guys exactly? Are you scientists? If scientists, then you would have a full appreciation of just how important the Frozen Ark is.
(2) Credibility of the Frozen Ark: BBC news article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3928411.stm
If you aren't from england, this is pretty much the best for scientific news if it makes the BBC.
(3) I agree with removing the donation section, as I checked out the cancer research page, and they don't have it. Apologies for that.
(4) As for a conflict of interest, isn't it appropriate that I do write it? It seems wierd for me not to write it, as I know a lot about the project. I do not understand the problem with that. If this is an issue, I can find someone else who doesn't have a conflcit of interest to write about it instead.
(5) Regards to promotion: this isn't about promoting the frozen ark. It is just a really important scientific development in terms of saving the DNA (genetic material) from animals that are becoming extinct. This is essential for genetists, and if you are biologists, you would understand that. Professor Bryan Clarke is a top prize winning scientist whose project should be able to have a wikipedia entry for such an important development.
Best wishes,
Alex —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexm1313 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, Dan. Thank you. I'm too new at Wikipedia at present to do the suggestions you give, but will keep them in mind. I did look for Wikipedia policies that addressed the issue, but couldn't find anything specific. So I decided that the bill was short and concise enough to include.

At the same time the user dubaiguy1 created a site Al Fajer Group. This user dubaiguy1 created before the sites Abdullah Shahram Zadeh, which have been deleted by Wikipedia.
It seems that this users are misusing Wikipedia to perform a Stalking Campaign against living persons – in concrete – against Shahram Zadeh.

Hi,
I wish to give you the information that the user Web2010 again placed today (23 July, 2010) the same Stalking article about shahram Abdullah Zadeh , now under " Terrorist front organition" link:
This after Wikipedia already deleted the sites " shahram Abdullah Zahdeh" , shahram abdullah Zadeh and shahram zadeh and al Fajer Properties. The site Al Fajer Group , link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Fajer_Group
By reviewing the history it can be seen, that the user dubaiguy1 created this page, he also created the deleted Wikipedia pages Abdullah Shahram Zadeh, Shahram Zadeh. After the deletion by Wikipedia aof the site "shahram Abdullah Zadeh" the user Web2010 recreated this page ( Shahram Abdullah Zadeh) again 1 week later.
Also the reference links of the Stalking Blog dubai9stars.blogspot.com have been successfull deleted by Wikipedia and again and again reinstalled by both users before.
The Blog dubai9stars.blogspot.com is still reported to Google as Stalking Blog and is monitored also by criminal invistigators from European countries.
All people named in this Blog have filed criminal complaints against the assumed initiator of this Blog, the criminal Complaints are filed against Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Ma)ktoum
The investigation against Mr. Maktoum in further criminal cases from several prosecutors in Europe are going on since mid 2009, fruther criminal complaints have been filed in June 2010.
This information to you, just to give you an impression why now ( 1 year after the first Stalking campaign over dubai9stars.blogspot.com and a Wordpress Blog shahramabdullahzadeh.com appeard), this users start now again a massive Stalking campaing, now misusing Wikipedia for this acts.
I wish to inform you also, that those users take their own created Wikipedia articles relating to Shahram Zadeh, as reference, by spreading this Wikipedia article via Scribt, link:( http://www.scribd.com/doc/33437733/Shahram-Abdullah-Zadeh
and other websites !
It can be seen as a Google Up Strategy as nedative press is in the pipeline, which will report about the criminal complaints against Mr. Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum.
The reference " Gulf News" was also specially prepared for this Stalking campaign.
To understand this you must know, that the owner Mr. Al Thayer of Gulfnews is the uncle of Mr. Maktoum Hasher - but who out there in the World know this.
I do not knwo how Wikipedia will handle this users who created this stalking campaign - however we will have monitored it and will forward the former revisons ( screenshots of the pages) to the relevant prosecutors.
PS:
-)
The revision I did yesterday was neccessary, because it was said on the Site !Al Fajer Group" that Maktoum Hasher founded in 1970 the company. Sorry, Maktoum was born in 1977 - so far this fact was wrong.
All references named are mostly bases on articles from the PR agency of Al Fajer and Maktoum Hasher, all brought to the public via open PR and not by any international press or serious journalists! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Equinox555 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

and might i ask,since you sound supportive of my efforts,how exactly to provide notability on page?Keserman (talk) 13:18, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the Wikipedia guidelines on notability, and then on verifiability. The first gives a general guideline as to what subjects are to be included in Wikipedia, and the second gives a general guideline on how to verify the information in Wikipedia. Basically, subjects must have been the topic of some significant coverage in some independent source (notability) and the sources in which this coverage occurred should be referenced so others can verify the information (verifiability). For the specific case of the company you are writing about, there must be some written history that mentions this company and their contributions to the culture of the American West. There should also be a source that mentions that the company has been revived. You should be able to reference these sources. Since, as you say, you are not exactly a newcomer here, you should have read these policies by now. As a side note, I would suggest that you might want to perform your edits offline in a word processor that includes a spelling and grammar checker, as you seem to be somewhat challenged in these areas. While there are any number of Wikipedia editors who will try to clean up poor writing, the best solution is to provide clear writing in the first place. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:43, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
actually,the truth is i am very good with spelling and grammar,but i can mess up on the computer typing,like forgetting to capitalize occaisionally,hitting the wrong key or 2 keys by mistake and such...well,i do get around to reading certain editing policies,but most of what i do does not require too much policy knowlege an such,and keeps me busy,so i do not get to read much often on this stuff.but i try to get to reading it.also, in messages i usually leave out capitals,to speed the process.but this is second try,so i guess i will move on...........cheers,Keserman (talk) 18:13, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The image was being used for a claim that it was the band's latest CD, but the description page also included a statement that it was an own work by the uploader. The second fact shows that the first is a blatant hoax, and thus G3 deleteable. Nyttend (talk) 14:18, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I should note that my principal concern about LAVINA4194, even more than anything I explicitly said on their talk page, is that it's the third different username I've seen in the past few months doing exactly the same thing: poorly-referenced (or entirely unreferenced) articles about former Ohio state legislators, left uncategorized and with the references section (if present at all) headlined at = level rather than ==. And given that I've been working primarily on the uncategorized articles list lately, I've actually had to do comprehensive runs through all three usernames' contribution histories just to try to catch all their uncategorized work.
The first one, User:STATEHOUSE1839, actually got a 48-hour block in March for creating them entirely unreferenced, but then never contributed again under that user name; User:Gldnegls then started in June with the Google Books references, and then for no immediately apparent reason stopped contributing in July a few days before LAVINA4194 started. And both of the previous usernames had the categorization issue pointed out to them too — though I think you're the first to notice (or at least to point out) that the Google Books references are still problematic.
So clearly they're either all the same person, or they're different people working with the same flawed template...and while I haven't filed a formal checkuser request yet, I do know which of those two explanations passes Occam's razor. Bearcat (talk) 19:09, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, as an independent editor then, I would suggest (as I have at Talk:English Table Tennis Association) that the list of British Table Tennis title holders is not related to the ETTA, as the ETTA only appears to be about 2 years old, and all of these titles were won before their creation.

Greetings from the Guild of Copy EditorsJuly 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—including Jimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!
Stats

I don't know what I did wrong? My article was deleted? I believe in truth and had always came to WIKI as a source of it. If I created a truth fall article and it's deleted, what am I to think of all other WIKI articles now? It just seems the internet these days is so orchestrated that real stuff/content, like the old days, can never get to the people. It's a shame, because the internet was meant to be for the people. I hate spam, and I have for over 15 years. Back in the old days we could say anything we wanting.... it's all censored now, including, my old faith fall, WIKI.
I was not spamming, not creating/sending false info, I tried to correct and make it more editorial. I want be part of WIKI and I do very deep research and that's not just internet research (I do the old call people up thing) There are many out there who will not and do not use the internet 'at all'. There's like this revolt against it, especially form the artist's perspective. I have theories about why but I’m still investigating it now. (I’m 71 and still doing this stuff, I should get a medal)
Your article on Visual Nudistics was deleted under Criterion G3 of Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion which calls for the immediate deletion of "blatant and obvious misinformation". I did not delete the article, but I did nominate it for deletion, because there is no indication that the term "visual nudistics" is in use anywhere but in your creation. Wikipedia is not a place to create new knowledge, but rather a place to document already existing (and verifiable) knowledge. So, if you want to make something up, go do it someplace else.

WikiDan61 - can you help me report some sock puppeting on ISNetworld's article? An IP keeps deleting relevent, factual information about the company's history - no clear reason why? I am new to editing, will look to you for guidance. Am looking to help on cloud computing and software companies within the WikiWorld. Thx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MillinKilli (talk • contribs) 17:56, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree that the addition of information regarding funding from Ad-Venture is legitimate, this edit is not, as there is no documentation to indicate the funding's purpose was to "acquire the assets of Allen Tate" or that Charles Allen was forced out of the company. Please stick to the facts that can be verified. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:14, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Understood - Thank you for clarification and education.--MillinKilli (talk) 21:43, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I do not know if I am doing everything correctly,but I have joined the discussion page on the proposed deletion. Here is a copy of what I wrote. Bosoxman.
Although I have enjoyed Wikipedia for sometime, this is my first article that I have attempted to add. The attempted deletion seems to be based on Kohler being non-notable. That his book "Evolution and Human Destiny" (1952) cannot 'prove' that he was the first person to put into print the concept of our human species becoming a superorganism. One cannot prove a negative. It is possible that sometime at a later date a reference will be discovered which contains an earlier reference by someone else. As of now, and it will probably always be true, he is the first person to put this major idea into print. The idea is currently a well respected idea and googling the term, which can be used as either one or two words, brings up over 300 references mostly all within the last 25 years. If this idea or concept is as important as I think it is, as the earliest reference, or at least the earliest know reference, it is important. It must have some importance because there has been an article in the wikipedia on it since 2003.
Point Two. There is no question that the polyswitch or resettable fuse is an important component of the modern industrial world. If it were not there would not be an article on the wikipedia about the polyswitch. There is also no question whatsoever that Mr. Fred Kohler patented the material that is the sine qua non of the polyswitch on March 29, 1966 patent # 3,243,753 and a google of the patent number lists over 30 references to Mr. Kohler as the inventor of this patent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bosoxman (talk • contribs) 19:47, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Doubtful. This is a very persistent sock puppeteer. He'll be back, with a new article with a different name but equally meaningless content. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:36, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He's persistant and now at the stage where he's just being a pain in the butt. It's a real pity because in his original incarnation, I had a long email discussion with him and there was a glimmer that he might prove to be an asset. Sadly I now feel he's sadly concerned only with conducting a campaign against various people, most especially you who he beleives to have a grudge against him.

hahahahaha he didnt get range blocked now ill make many moar accounts
You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/WikiDan61. Thank you.
