Hey!
I wasn't even notified that a PROD was added to the List of Romanian supercentenerians. Maybe I could have saved the article. Mario1987 21:55, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
ACC
Hi, this is just a request that you please review my access request to the ACC interface. Its been quite a while since I created an account there, just a couple of weeks after joining Wikipedia so it (rightly) got rejected. Not a problem if this gets declined again - I understand the concerns about granting the tool to only trusted and established users to prevent intentional or unintentional abuse.

I'm not sure how much time it really takes to gain the necessary trust, maybe 6 months or 1 year? If so, I'm here quite early as its only been around three months.. Thanks Unpopular Opinion (talk) 18:07, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

No particular issue with the deletion but, for what it's worth, that redirect was put in place per the instructions at WP:DOC:
"You may wish to redirect the talk page of the /doc subpage to the talk page of the template itself. Then all talk relating to the template and its documentation will end up on the same talkpage. For example, redirect Template talk:X/doc to Template talk:X."

Your input
Hey Rjd0060. I think your input would be highly appreciated here. Regards, — Aitias // discussion 04:23, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
your assistance please...
The record shows you deleted the article Mike Moran (firefighter) -- as an expired {{prod}}.
Could you please userify this article, and its history and talk page, to User:Geo Swan/review/Mike Moran (firefighter)?
You may have noticed this phenomenon -- some of the wikipedia's quality control volunteers are impatient, overzealous, or unwilling to comply with the spirit of the wikipedia's civility policies. They do not comply with the deletion policies' recommendations that those nominating articles for deletion leave an advisory heads-up on the talk page of the contributors who started the article, or made major contributions to it.
The result is "stealth deletions" -- the deletion of perfectly satisfactory articles where those interested in the article didn't defend the article because they were unaware that it had been nominated for deletion.
I write on controversial topics. And I am afraid I have encountered vandals who count on this weakness in the wikipedia's policies in order to push their private, personal agendas.
Personally, I would lobby for a change in policy where the advisory heads-up was no longer an optional courtesy, but was required, and policy stated administrators should decline to conclude nominations where the article creator didn't inform the interested parties.
Sure, lots of article that are {{prod}}ed or nominated for speedy-deletion merit deletion. But I believe that skipping the step of informing the uploader or creator is a mistake in those cases too. When contributors add material that does not comply with policy and merits deletion I think the policy on assuming good faith implies they should be told that someone thought they made a mistake that serious. Informing the contributor who the nominator thinks is making serious mistakes is the best way to try to make sure that contributor doesn't keep making the same mistake. And, of course, there are going to be cases where the nominator is the one who was mistaken. Hopefully that is going to be a small minority of cases. But I have experienced this many times -- instances where someone nominated an article I started for provisional deletion, didn't offer me the courtesy advisory, and, when I found out about the deletion, long afterwards, and got it restored, it was clear the nominator erred.
I think I must have gone through this at least a dozen times. It is a lot of work, and in my opinion it highlights a serious flaw in the existing policy.
Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 04:10, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I started an article, over a year ago, about the firefighter who lead a team that made the highest known advance in the first building to collapse. I spent some time writing it, and finding references. Some time afterwards it was realized that his time had made it much higher that had previously been realized, and that they had been unaware that the building was about to collapse until practically the last moment.
- I can't find it now. I believe it was subjected to a stealth deletion.
- Thanks again. Geo Swan (talk) 04:36, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Sci Willy Wonka
Dear Rjd0060, thanks for blocking Sci Willy Wonka. The account was trying to harass Raul654. It is probably a sock of someone. It is making disruptive comments on its talkpage. I think you should protect its talkpage. Have a nice day. AdjustShift (talk) 17:54, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Hey Rjd0060. Are you using a script to delete expired WP:PROD articles? If you do, would you mind explaining how I can use that script as well? :) Thanks! — Aitias // discussion 00:03, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick reply. I have added
importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkleprod.js'); importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkledeprod.js');
to my monobook.js, however that seems to be not enough. Is there anything else I have to add? — Aitias // discussion 00:17, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, it did work. However, it does not delete the talk pages. Therefore I have removed it again. Thanks a lot for the help. :) — Aitias // discussion 00:38, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
"List of XMPP library software" deletion : disagreement
It was proposed to delete the "List of XMPP library software" with following arguments : "This is a list article with only two entries which have articles. Everything else is either a red link or an external link." That's not an argument at all for deletion : please let to the community time to make the article grow, we are not in hurry.
"As such, it seems to be a list of probably non-notable software."
Please, your deletion is based on assumption. After checking myself, this libraries are notable software, since they allow to build jabber software on top of them. There is already a "List of XMPP Server Software", and "List of XMPP Client Software" : it makes sense to have a "List of XMPP Library Software". I checked the C section and php section : they are ok. Again, as computer engineer, I say that this content is valuable and must stay there.
"Maybe some of these are notable but there are no references to help determine which ones." You didn't let us time to put notes on them : you let us only 5 days before deletion, and during christmas. It really does not make sense under this condition... It seems that you was determined to delete this article without further discussion.
"Not verifiable. For all we know some of these entries could be hoaxes." Based on assumption again, and easily verifiable since I do it for the C and php section.
So please revert the deletion, and let us several months with a proposal to enhance the article contents. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.93.61.213 (talk) 15:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Questions about Template:PermissionOTRS
I left a note at the template's talk page but the page didn't seem to be much-watched. Perhaps you can help? Here's the question:
Is this template supposed to be placed by the users granting permission via email or by OTRS reviewers? If the former is the case, shouldn't there be a confirmation process proving the legality of the template placement?
Thanks in advance. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:39, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Nir Rosen Description
The entry under the description of Nir Rosen reads "he is an Iranian-American journalist and a chronicler of the Iraq War". Mr. Rosen in his own writing calls himself an Israeli and has discussed some of his heritage in this article:

I really don't understand how the phrase "Iranian-American" was inserted when it's very clear that's not the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.41.7.216 (talk) 09:54, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Year parameter
Awesome job, but there's a glitch: it suffers the Y2K bug! The season articles are written 1999-2000... and the parameter seems to want to write 1999-00, so it makes red links for all of the 1998-99 article templates. A solution would be to make redirects, want me to get on top of that? Andrew647 03:28, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'd found it going through the Toronto seasons. I'll get on those redirects asap. Andrew647 04:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Done, except there's an issue with the St. Louis Blues: it seems to be a disambiguation problem where the team article is labeled "St. Louis Blues (ice hockey)", and I think that has an effect on the year parameter. Just check out 1998–99 St. Louis Blues season. I'm not sure what to recommend to fix this. Andrew647 05:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- Cool, glad to see it sorted out! Cheers, Andrew647 23:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Indukti
On 1 August 2008 you deleted the Wikipedia entry for Polish band Indukti, claiming that it failed to meet the notability guidelines for music. However, it would appear that you don't know the slightest bit of information about this band, considering they clearly meet the very first criteria listed!
"1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries"
Did you even bother doing a Google search? If you had, it would have become apparent that there is a plethora of online information from reliable sources not at all linked to the band.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.200.7 (talk) 07:53, January 20, 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Information visualization reference model
Hi,
You've deleted the above articel with the reason "Deleted because expired WP:PROD; Reason given: There seems hardly any reliabe sources here, just the original work by E.H. Chi. There is serious doubt this subject is notable. See talk page.".
I think this happened in error as the version from google cache shows 6 references from 2 distinct groups of authors including contributions published with Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and CHI_(conference). These should coun't as reliable sources.
Regarding the notability the Article seems a little bit thin but it's not just an idea but it's used in the real world as you can see with Prefuse plus it is linked in from some Articels that discuss visualization in general.

Deletion of "The Reincarnation"
I noticed that last month you deleted the page of "The Reincarnation", a browser-based computer game. While i do have a vested interest in the topic, i'm more curious about the reason given than the actual deletion. This is a game with thousands of players that has existed in one version or another since 1998(ish?). That no one has "published" any "sources" hardly seems a good reason to delete a page, neither does low enough readership that no one noticed the deletion tag within 5 days. There are towns with smaller populations than this page that are far less well developed than The Reincarnation page was before it was deleted, yet they remain because they are more "verifiable" per wikipedia's "encyclopedic contents" policy? There has to be a better way to determine legitimacy of this type of article... Sorry, i guess you don't really make these rules, but i wanted to vent.

Can you do me a favor?
We've had a few encounters in the past, so sometimes if I need admin help I come to you because I know I can get a quick response. Anyway, we are having some trouble over at United States men's national soccer team. Now, I don't know if you follow soccer at all, so I'll try to explain this well in case you aren't familiar with any of the subjects. One of the players on the US team (Bocanegra) plays for a French team called Stade Rennais Football Club. This club is located in the French town of Rennes, and since "Stade Rennais" is sort of long, more often than not the team is referred to as Rennes. Ligue 1 is the French league, and if you look at the 2008-09 league standings right here on Wikipedia you'll see that the team is listed as Rennes. It is the same on websites such as Yahoo Eurosport and the BBC; basically, this is the accepted common name for the team. So, we had a discussion and determined it would be most accurate to use the name Rennes to refer to that team. Everyone agreed except for one editor: User:Grant.Alpaugh. Usually when an editor loses a discussion, they just let it go. Grant refuses to do that and has taken a "everybody is wrong except for me" approach to the problem. If you look on the talk page for the US national team article, a vote has taken place and everyone except for Grant is in agreement. Also, if you read the section "Club names," you will get an understanding of the immense frustration that grows when one editor ignores the decision making process and unilaterally makes changes (I had a problem with doing this in my early editing days, so I know firsthand how annoying it can be).
Basically, Grant needs to be blocked from editing this article for the time being. If you read my talk page you'll see that he started a 3RR report against me. I readily admit I broke the 3RR, but only because, in my view, Grant was repeatedly vandalizing the article by making edits against established consensus. If you choose to block me as well I fully understand. However, Grant not only broke the 3RR himself, but has continually shown a vast disregard for the opinions of other editors and conclusions we have come to after extensive discussion. Basically, he thinks he runs the article and refuses to accept other opinions - even when he is vastly out numbered. If you could take a look at our horribly messed up discussion and get back to me, that would be awesome. Eightball (talk) 19:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I feel you deleted the page on Ciarán Ó Con Cheanainn in error. Past Winers of Corn Uí Riada and this one also, should be mentioned- just because there isn't a lot of info on him or the others doesnt mean that he shouldnt be included- its more just the fact that pepole havent gotten around to writing about them yet./ In realtion to this particular person many of the main media outlets/ newspapers in Ireland carried obituaries of him- Irish Times is one example. One of the past winners Máirtín Tom Sheáiní- a radio presenter on Radio na Gaeltachta- extant- if someopne were to start an article on him would it be deleted because of lack of information on him? In general I think one can't realy delete a page on a particular subject (however small) especially if they are not an expert in that subject (I imagine you are not) - imagine someone writes a topic on a rare scientific subject- you can;'t just delete it if you feel taht its not "big" enough- not to say that the article you deleted was off small interest- it isnt- And the competition he won and his winnign of it was covered on state broadcasters in ireland.

Once again the ioquake3 wikipedia entry has been deleted for being without notability when, in fact, this is wholly inaccurate. ioquake3 is the de-facto standard in quake 3 engine technology with many games and other projects being based on it. Some of those games include Urban Terror, World of Padman, and tremulous. I created ioquake3 in 2005 and it has continued since then with the help of many contributors. To say that it is irrelevant does the project and those that use it a severe disservice and I think contributes to the overall discouragement of smaller open source and free software projects, as if they and the contributions made to them are without merit. id software created the original code base and released it onto the internet. To say that projects based on the original source release are not notable is like saying that it wouldn't be notable if Ray Bradbury released a book under a creative commons license solely to the net and someone took that and made an entirely new and interesting work of fiction based on it.
Of course, having created ioquake3 you can take my words with a grain of salt. Please don't let that stop you from researching the notability of the project yourself. Perhaps starting with these links:
http://www.linux.com/feature/136752
--TimeDoctor (talk) 02:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
ioquake3 is indeed the best updated version of id Software Inc.'s GPL release of the Quake III Arena engine source code. Over the years the project stayed true to it's objectives to make the original code base easier to work with, available on a wider variety of platforms, and to provide a solid base for several projects that wanted to build upon the technology.
I was the maintainer of Quake III Arena for several years until the company released it as GPL, and I am pretty happy there are people like Zachary who stepped up to the plate afterwards.
It seems very odd to me that content would be removed based on an individual's personal appreciation of relevance. If the article provides useful information and references, it should at least be valued for the efforts of the contributing individuals.

TTimo (talk)
How can ioq3 not be relevent when some of the maintainers have, as part of the project, provided fixes that have made it into id's official Q3 codebase? From the Quake 3 1.32c readme:
1.32c (5-8-06)
- Ludwig Nussel and Thilo Shulz discovered a vulnerability letting a malicious client download files from a server if auto download is enabled ( sv_allowDownload 1 ).
- A second issue fixed in this release (R_RemapShaders buffer overflow) would let a malicious server exploit a buffer overflow to execute a shellcode on connecting clients.
I would like to point out that both Ludwig Nussel and Thilo Shulz are active participants in the ioq3 project. If id, the producer of the original game that ioq3 is based on, recognizes ioq3's work as being relevent, what more is needed? Isn't that both verification and validation of ioq3's contribution to software? I mean, heck, you can cite actual publications (not blogs or other sissy webpages) as references to show that ioq3 is recognized time and again as one of the premier OSS games released.
ioq3 is especially notable for its wide range of platform support and write-once-run-anywhere Quake Virtual Machine ability which lets ioq3 run on Windows (x86 and x64), Linux (x86 and x64), Linux PPC (32 and 64 bit), FreeBSD, Solaris (SPARC and x86), Irix (MIPS), Mac OS X (x86 and PPC), and was recently the initial basis for a port of Quake 3 to the iPhone, an ARM-based device. Just google for "quake 3 iphone" to see all the press and buzz THAT generated. If that's not notable, I don't know what is! There are many modern commercial game engines that don't support what ioq3 supports such as in-engine VoIP and IPv6. Heck, the VoIP stuff is from someone recognized both in the professional game programming arena and also by Wikipedia itself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_C._Gordon

Shame you thought this article had to be deleted; this could have been a discussion on improving the article to wikipedia's standard. But you might have too much work to do in the foreseeable future as probably so many articles, about softwares/video games, are failing to meet those same requirements and therefore need to be "cut off" (weird principle for a participative online encyclopaedia).

Wireless Thessaloniki
Please undelete our wireless's community page (Wireless Thessaloniki, WThess in short). It was deleted by you on 18 of September under WP:COR. I beg you to reconsider. We are the oldest wireless community in Thessaloniki. In Thessaloniki there are 4 communities and all of them existed before our deletion in wikipedia. Take a note on TWMN's page, which refers to us (Wireless Thessaloniki, WThess). We have participated with TWMN in Helexpo's Infosystem (Information Technology Exhibition) and we were noted in local press. It would be an omission to exclude as from wikipedia since the other 3 wireless communities are present.
Thank you. Arxytas
I was surprised to be informed by a fellow WThess node owner that the wikipedia entry for the Wireless Thessaloniki network that I had posted to the site does not exist anymore. I am not a frequent wikipedia author, so I wasn't aware that the article was candidate to be deleted. I also see that a picture that I have included in the article, which was actually taken with my photo camera, was deleted for copyright reasons! It is obvious that the problem arise due to the fact that I am not well informed on some aspects and conditions of keeping an article in Wikipedia, and I would like to apologize for that. I would like to re-establish the page. WThess is actually one of the last wireless communities left in Thessaloniki, as most of them decayed after aDSL subscriptions became cheaper and affordable. It is a part of the wireless communities' history of the city, if not of the country. Thank you for your time. ThanaSakis

Deletion of AbleNET
Hello, you deleted the article for AbleNET without any form of due process or notification and I'd wish for you to first, reconsider as well as explain your position. Notability arguments seem questionable. Notability is no greater or less than other articles of comparable content.
Article was up for AfD on 2/12/2006 through 2/14/2006 and successfully passed.
"As a shortcut around AfD for uncontroversial deletions, an article can be proposed for deletion, though once only. If no one contests the proposal within five days, the article may be deleted by an administrator."
It appears that your deletion may be contrary to the ToS regarding deletions.

Reasons for deletion included a statement saying that no external links showed magazine covers when in fact a link to McIntyre's New York Magazine profile clearly states her work with Japanese Vogue (she was on the beauty cover) in January 2009, work with notable fashion magazines such as i-D, Numero, Nylon, Flair, Elle and Amica as well as her work with prestigious photographers such as Ellen von Unwerth and Chadwick Tyler.

Frank Duff (writer)
Hi, just noticed that the Frank Duff (writer) page has been deleted with the given reason that all of the author's work is self-published and the reviews self-submitted. I've met Mr. Duff and I know that his work has been published in print magazines including Wired (magazine) and his novella Lysergically Yours was not self-published, it was published by now defunct Insurgent Productions (Toronto) with which I used to be involved when it was still solvent. And though I don't know for a fact, I'm pretty sure that those reviews were independent. Anyway, I know this qualifies as original research, but nonetheless, just thought you know that the given reason for deletion is inaccurate and, if nothing else, the delete notice should probably be changed so as not to misrepresent his professional work to anyone who might find their way to the page.
Addendum: Noticed that the Lysergically Yours article was also deleted on the basis that it was a "self-published internet story with no reliable independent coverage." Just to be clear, Lysergically Yours was published comercially by brick and mortar imprint Insurgent Productions (Toronto) in two print editions, with the first print run having ISBN: 0-9734807-0-X. Again, whether or not the book is notable enough for Wikipedia is one thing, but the current page with the delete notice shows patently false information.

As a Toho Co. Ltd. shareholder, you couldn't block me even if you tried. Go ahead, delete it again. I hope you understand this well and I recommend you keep yourself as an anonymous user. Wikipedia is not recognized by academia or by me. And quite frankly, in life, your non-profit nonsense that hogs Google search will be dismissed.

Is the large obnoxious talk header really necessary? I guess you could argue it had a place when the bot was editing, but it is blocked not not editing, so it just serves as a BITEy notice with no apparent purpose. Enigmamsg 19:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- It doesn't really matter to me, but if you look at the talk page history and several other places, the language clearly bothers people. It's not a polite helpful message. It's written in a very rude tone. I'm sure you would agree that it could be written in a better way (removing the obnoxious oversized image, not referring to anyone who edits the page as a "whiner", etc.). Perhaps it should be replaced with a general notice about image questions? I don't care about the banned notice. I just think that it's better not to bite newbies. Enigmamsg 19:07, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- If we were collaboratively editing the notice, my suggestions would be:
- Remove 14 and 15, which are unnecessarily obnoxious and rude. Try reading it from the perspective of an inexperienced user. They could easily be rewritten.
- Remove 11 as deliberately BITEy.
- Remove the stop hand, or at least make it smaller.
- Remove Betacommand's personal statements. "# I will not add rationales for you. As the uploader it is your responsibility NOT mine.# I do not want to see images deleted"
- Add punctuation which is sorely lacking.
- I would do all these things, but I have an aversion to being reverted. Enigmamsg 19:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- I will not add the banned notice. I will attempt to edit the notice to make it more neutral if you will back me up when MZMcBride reverts me. Enigmamsg 19:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

The tragedy that has befallen Wikipedia
When I read his appeals to people to donate to the cause these days, I feel a sense of pity towards Jimmy Wales. The reason why is because I get the feeling that on an individual basis, he is a positive and altruistically minded individual, who genuinely wanted to create something which would be of value to the world.
Unfortunately, however, his site has become infested by an army of pedantic, pseudo-empiricist douchebags, to put it bluntly; and they are in danger of wrecking it more or less entirely. They largely already have; a number of said people don't exist here for any reason other than to revert material which others try to add. The line about this site being something which anybody can edit has become, in practice, a complete lie. If what you add to an article isn't approved of by one of the usual pedants, who can twist policy any way they like in order to justify their actions, it will be wordlessly deleted every time.
The most cowardly among such people never offer any concrete justification for their actions, either. Why bother to be accountable when you can simply cause any complaints which anyone levels at you to disappear?
Jimmy Wales, as much as I pity him, will also never receive a cent from me in response to any of his donation appeals. The only time I would remotely consider donating to the maintenance of this site, would be after someone seriously cleaned house; and I'm talking bans, and in large quantities. Most of the current administrative staff would be a good thing, and the deletion of the site's current policy would also be a fairly large step in the right direction, as well. Neutral Point of View, is to put it simply, a complete lie; as are most of the other elements of entirely subjective horse manure ("weasel words," things, "not sounding encyclopedic," things, "sounding like a magazine article." What on earth do any of these phrases mean? The answer is largely nothing, other than conveniently twistable, subjective justification for the earlier mentioned pedants to entirely arbitrarily delete something which they decide they don't like) that passes for this site's policy.
Your policy, and a very large part of the way you do things, is broken, Wikipedia; as is your inexcusable atheistic bias, and even worse, your attempts to pretend that said bias does not exist. In time, you will be replaced.
Revert this addition to your talk page, if you wish, or ban me for having made it. The one thing which I do not expect from anyone associated with this site, is any form of integrity.
EDIT:- I just discovered yet another example of material being arbitrarily removed from an article's talk page, simply because it expressed a statement which someone else decided they did not like.
I am going to continue to fight the continuing abuses of this site's stated policies until I am banned. I cannot tell you how overjoyed I also am at finding the talk page of one of this site's administrators, because it means that I finally have a relevant place to vent my frustrations. You are going to be hearing a lot more from me.

Please revert a deletion of a Aleksandar Sørensen-Marković article
Aleksandar Sørensen-Marković is a licenced Danish PRO Ironman triathlete and has placed consistently in top 15 in highly competitive races. He is sponsored by Yakkay and Adidas. His personal sites are at www.pulsslag.dk and www.pulsslag.com. He was a member of Danish national team and is a member of several other competitive teams.
Danish article was deleted by mistake. I disagree with that deletion as well. He certainly needs to be documented in Wikipedia in both English and Danish. Why Danish admin decided to delete his page I am not sure, however I disagree and he ranks much higher than most triathletes and professional athletes who are already featured in Wikipedia.
You can also check my record on how many triathlon biographies and articles I published.

The song definitely exists: it's on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOvzUH46nWM (though could be removed at any time since I don't think the user who posted it on YouTube has permission from copyright owners).

RE: WSLK
The only reason I am removing the information is because the person says they can hear it in their car from such-and-such a point to such-and-such a point. That is original research.....if they had something to cite, it would be different. I live in Virginia and I can hear WCBS (AM) from my house, but I don't put in there that it can be heard in Virginia...cause that is OR. If they had something to cite, it would be different. - NeutralHomer • Talk • April 23, 2009 @ 00:19

You told me about an OTRS not while things were going on, but after. You have also got me to seriously consider whether my time here is done or not.

Campbellgirl
I noticed that you reprimanded Campbellgirl for vandalism in 2007. I just wanted to point out that 1) she appears to me to be an employee of PRI (look at her talk page, she has been posting press releases verbatim as Wikipedia articles), 2) The Takeaway is a PRI program, and 3) she has been undoing my edits on The Takeaway page for the entire year that the program has been broadcast. I have addressed her on her talk page and I discussed her edits on The Takeaway's talk page but to no avail. I want more than dueling edits her, I can undo hers and she can undo mine but I really would like some kind of reprimand if she is promoting her economic interests with POV edits here. I have no axe to grind except that I live in the New York area and I listen to WNYC-FM a lot, and I think the program is kind of unworthy of WNYC's schedule.

Deletion of "The Master Key System"
Hi Rjd0060
I see that you deleted this article when a WP:PROD expired. The reason for deletion was "Chronic lack of reliable independent sources to establish notability and provide the foundation for a credible article" - though I cannot see whether that was _your_ reason or from the user that nominated for deletion.
As for notability, just do a google search. As for reliable sources, well, there may be problems with some of the material, but I'm sure that the most basic facts can be safely established from e.g. Library of Congress. In my opinion, it would be better to restore the article and then let people remove just the material that they find to be unreliable.
In any case, I find that the RfD procedure is better suited than PROD, for articles such as this one that a lot of work have gone into writing. Rune Kock (talk) 03:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Joe jobbing put-in-bay.com
I think our Edgewater Hotel spammer (see MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/June 2009#Putinbayonline.com spam) is trying to bait us into blacklisting put-in-bay.com -- that's a Chamber of Commerce domain, not one of his. Certainly his edit summaries seem calculated to goad us into this; see Special:Contributions/65.43.193.9. This behaviour even has a name; it's known as a "Joe job".
I suggest that when he turns back up again with a new IP to spam a Chamber of Commerce link you just let the link stand and ignore him.
I blacklisted every Edgewater-related domain that I could find but I suspect our spammer owns more; I'll be happy to blacklist new ones as they reappear. Just list them at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist with a link to the June archive section above. If you're unsure as to the domain's ownership, let me know and I'll check them.

I think Thomas Kyte is notable and I would like to add the required third-party sources to the article. Could you recreate the article in my user namespace so I can work on it and bring it up to standard for main namespace? That would be great. Thank you. --Berny68 (talk) 06:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Spider-man 4
Hey dude, I was wondering if you could remove that block you put on the Spider-man 4 page. I looked at the history and realized that the edit war that occurred on that article was pointless and caused by careless mistakes and arrogant users.
I am going to repair the article by adding citations and removing all information that hasn't been proven yet. If you could please remove that block you put on, I promise you these changes in at least a weeks time.
So please, I ask of you, remove that editing block. I know that there was so much bickering, and I am sad to say, I was a main contender in it to. I see that it ends next Monday, but if you could, remove it so I can improve the article and end the editing war that has been going on for quite some time. --Red Slayer 01:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I recently created a new stub for Tararam. I notice from the logs, a previous version existed, and was PROD'd, and deleted by you. If the deleted version is on the same topic (a music/dance group) and it's not an apparent copyvio, please consider undeleting it to history, so I can see if there's anything of value. Thank you. --Rob (talk) 15:35, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fast response. --Rob (talk) 15:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Asking for a phone number
Can you point me to the policy that outlaws this please. Thanks! As to your comment about my comment regarding stalking and user Collect, you are not aware of the history. The comment was completely accurate. ► RATEL ◄ 01:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Disturbing comment
Given the growing creepiness of the conversations on other pages, I'm having a hard time seeing Emely1219's comment as anything other than a veiled warning or a threat whether or not it was actually intended for me. Flowanda | Talk 03:24, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

La Conecta Band Page
Hi, I just read the deletion description for my La Conecta page. I fully agree with the terms of this deletion, since I wasn't even aware of the rule by the time I wrote this page.
Fact is, I didn't save my text.
Is there a way for me to get it back, so I can modify it, in accord to the Rules of wikipedia?
Along with my shameless self-promotion in this page, I wrote some useful information about my band that I actually don't have anymore since the deletion.
Thank you in advance
