==Lightsource.com==
You declined the [[WP:CSD#g4]] on [[Lightsource.com]] because you said there was no previous AfD, but in fact there was: [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lightsource.com]], which was speedied along and deleted. --[[User:Flex|Fl<font color="green">e</font>x]] ([[User_talk:Flex|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Flex|contribs]]) 18:33, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

:That AFD was closed due to the first speedy deletion, so the article wasn't deleted via AFD, and thus G4 doesn't apply.  The purpose of the restriction on G4 is to limit it to pages deleted as the result of a community decision.  The criteria exists because some users have persistently recreated pages the community said "no thanks" to, and it isn't worth wasting time on community discussion when somebody is just reposting the same content the community previously discussed.

== Curious: Please read ==

I am trying to obtain info about what it would take to satisfy Wikipedia's guidelines on allowing an entry for the Character/Person of Dr. Phineas Waldolf Steel to exsist and 'stick'. Could you please offer any assistance in the matter, as I am on a fact gathering mission and am currently in search for criteria?

:I don't know which article this is in relation to.  See [[Wikipedia:Notability]] (and related guidelines), [[Wikipedia:Amnesia test]] and [[Wikipedia:Independent sources]] for some general guidance that might apply to almost anything.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 22:37, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

== [[WP:SD|SD]] of [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2007_October_7#B.27nai_Elim|B'nai Elim]] ==

Hi... I originally thought of nominating this article [[WP:CSD#G4|G4]], but the criterion states that this is to be done only when the "the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version".  As a non-admin, there's no way to tell whether that's the case.  Is it reasonable to conclude, then, that this criterion is for admin use only? -- and if so, should [[WP:CSD#G4]] be edited to make it clear that this is the case?  Cheers. --[[User:Rrburke|Rrburke]]<sup><small>([[User_talk:Rrburke|talk]])</small></sup> 13:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

:Only an admin can actually implement any deletion, G4 included, and the admins are responsible to cofirm that the speedy deletion criteria applies.  Regular users can use {{tl|db-repost}} to tag an article as a suspected repost for an admin to investigate.  The deletion log of the article should contain a deletion summary linking to, or at least mentioning, the prior XfD discussion.  If that was recent, Google's cache may still have the old article, or individuals who participated in the first XfD may remember what the article looked like.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 03:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

== Overly aggressive user ==

I am writing to inform an admin about an overly aggressive user who consistently disobeys civility rules.  [[User:VegitaU|VegitaU]] cannot make an kind of correction or apply a tag without harassing other users, and constantly threatens with having someone blocked.  Since he's not an admin, this is an empty threat, but it's inappropriate, nonetheless.  Thanks, [[User:JaMikePA|JaMikePA]] 20:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC).

:I see that you are regularly getting warned about images that are at risk of deletion.  Time, perhaps, to read the warnings, figure out why you are getting them, and revise images that you have uploaded to comply with our image policy so that they won't be at risk of deletion?

:Other than that, I don't see where your dispute with him is.  Please see [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution]]; asking a random admin to but in isn't very productive.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 22:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

==AfD nomination of [[Konstakuten]]==

== List of English Americans ==

As you are an admin, I wonder if you could look up the reasons for the deletion of [[List of English Americans]] and whether they were valid or worthy of challenge (I don't know how to do this).  I believe this deletion was the 'trigger deletion' that then prompted the deletion actions against the rest of the 'List of foo American' articles that are now being reversed.  Thanks [[User:Hmains|Hmains]] 03:56, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:You should learn how to look this up :).   What I do is click on the link you provided.  Because the page doesn't exist, that takes me to an edit page for the former list, which shows the deletion log directly above the edit box.  Most deleting admins put the reason for deletion into the log, often as a link.  In this case, they did.  So click on the link and you get taken directly to the AFD that resulted in deletion.

:If the article had been recreated in some form, you'd use the history tab, which has a small link at the top "show logs for this page".  Alternatively, you could use the "Logs" link in the toolbox (left panel).  Once on the log page, select Deletion log in the drop down box, and put the article title in the Title box, and press Go.  Another route to the log page is to select "my contributions" at the top, then select "logs" on the contribution page.  Once there, you'll need to do the same steps as if you went directly from the toolbox and also clearing your username.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 13:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 
::Thanks. I thought I tried that, but I guess not. [[User:Hmains|Hmains]] 03:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

== Cascade protection ==

Hi, is there any reason why you've cascade protected [[User:GRBerry/monobook.css]] and [[User:GRBerry/monobook.js]]? Since they are user stylesheet and javascript pages, they can only be edited by you and other administrators anyway, so this protection doesn't do anything. Thanks – [[User talk:Gurch|Gurch]] 21:47, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:One, I didn't know they were automatically protected.  Two, how can I trust that the automatic protection will stay in force?  (This is a wiki.)  Redundancy in design is a good thing, especially redundancy in security.  Now if only there was a way to eliminate the ability of other administrators to edit them, I could be more comfortable.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 21:52, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

:: The automatic protection will stay in force for the same reason everyone's password won't suddenly be reset to 'cheese'; it's part of MediaWiki's code and, unlike a wiki, only a handful of people can change that. What makes you so concerned that other administrators might edit them? You realize that anything they could add to your own personal stylesheet/javascript pages they could simply add to the site-wide [[MediaWiki:Common.css|stylesheet]] and [[MediaWiki:Common.js|javascript]] pages, and affect ''everyone''? If you're that paranoid, I suggest you disable javascript, or perhaps avoid using the Internet altogether. Thanks – [[User talk:Gurch|Gurch]] 14:14, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:The DRV was closed before I saw this comment, and I never realized I was the closer of the AFD that led to the G4 deletions.  Oh well, the AFD spoke for itself perfectly well, and in my opinion still does.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 18:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#AfD_concerns]] ==

Hi, sorry I got the issues sidetracked here. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." [[User:Bearian|Bearian]] 18:05, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:You didn't sidetrack that; the user who created both the other sections did by popping up with the same question there.  Your question was legitimate, which is why I also answered it separately (after an edit conflict with you).  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 18:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

::I didn't notice this exchange before.  Bearian aplogized.  And you told him it was unnecessary.  I am not sure whether you are referring to me as the sidetracking user, or the other fellow with the different interpretation of {{tl|blp}}.  If you think it was me do you think I owe anyone an apology for [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid= this question?] I realized, after the fact, that I had left some potential triggers in [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid= my query of October 16th].  I regret that.  My apologies.  If you thought I wasn't sufficiently careful on the 24th, you can have my apology for that too.

::You have been very helpful to me in the past.  I particularly appreciate the several times you gave me a heads-up that someone had nominated an article I started for deletion, but had not chosen to honor the recommended courtesy of giving me a heads-up myself.  If there is ever anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to let me know.

::Cheers!  [[User:Geo Swan|Geo Swan]] 15:57, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

:::No, in my mind the side tracker is the user (whose name I don't recall) who had previously posted a missive in two other places and added it to this thread.

== discrepancies ==

Greetings!

I was grateful that you spoke up and voiced your opinion that {{tl|blp}} did not require references be provably true, only authoritative and verifiable.

I asked [[User:Bearian]], a new administrator, and I hope you don't mind me asking you, for advice on how to settle
to everyone's satisfaction, the {{tl|blp}} does not require references to be provably true?

Thanks!  [[User:Geo Swan|Geo Swan]] 23:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

P.S.  FWIW, I am not really an expert at deletion review.  

The first deletion review I requested was extremely clear cut case of failure to honour a hangon and everyone agreed that the article was going to hold merit.  So I was confused as to why I then had to endure a second {{tl|afd}}.

The second one confused me too, because I thought the discussion was supposed to be about whether the procedure was followed, but most of the participants wanted to discuss the article's merits.  [[User:Geo Swan|Geo Swan]] 23:33, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

db-band links '''''directly''''' to [[WP:MUSIC]].

:It may link there, but [[WP:CSD#A7]] is the policy that governs {{tl|db-band}}.  [[WP:MUSIC]] in the template is just an informative link for editors trying to rescue articles.  Many, many articles can survive [[WP:CSD#A7]] without meeting [[WP:MUSIC]].  01:17, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, why did You revert back incorrect redirect Sokolče-Sokolce? It is usually and due to logic that we have redirects like
Zilina-Žilina, Kosice-Košice, Roznava-Rožňava, but make it in opposite way ? We have in Slovakia town Zvolen, so I can make redirects: Žvolen-Zvolen, Zvoleň-Zvolen, Zvolén-Zvolen, Žvoleň-Zvolen, etc... ? Please, delete that, that was created as mistake by non-Slovak user, it is not just incorrect, but also confusing, because in Slovakia existed real village Sokolče (now inundated) and we noticed it in article of [[Stan Mikita]], who was born there.

:I'll try, but I didn't fully sort the details; indeed; some of the explanation below I am sorting out in more detail now than I did earlier.  I'm not sure what the conflict is about or who the real participants are; it appears to be a non-Wikipedia conflict spilling over onto us.  That may be an ethnic conflict element from the looks of it, which surprises me for Nova Scotia.  (But honeymooning there certainly doesn't make me an expert on the province's history).
:#The old copyright violation is from [http://www.geocities.com/PicketFence/1286/history.htm this geocities website] or some other clone thereof.  It was originally added in September 2006 by [[User:Johncena325]].
:#Sometime in the next 12 months, the copyright of that section was questioned by a comment at the top of it, but nothing was really done.
:#On 5 September 2007, [[User:Uglybaraco222]] described the history as bogus and added a lot of material that was either based on, or copied from [louisdaleisgrandiqueferry.piczo.com this site].  This was reverted as vandalism by a recent changes patroller.
:#On 7 September 2007, [[User:Billpeters888]] was next along; he didn't make any immediately obvious substantive changes to the article.
:#The article stated essentially unchanged to 31 October 2007, but the alert about copyright issue vanished, as did all vestiges of sourcing.  At this point the history section covered settlement to 1856.
:#On this date, [[User:142.167.242.246]] came and roughly doubled the length of the history section going up to 1962 (clearly a copyvio from somewhere, I'm not sure where) added a WP:BLP violation regarding "Father Gary MacPherson", and encouragements to go to this [www.fathergaryisafake.piczo.com attack/dispute site].
:#A RC patroller flagged for speedy deletion.  I confirmed that the community is a real place, and declined and flagged the article on 31 October.  We had subsequent edits by [[User:142.167.227.227]].  When I had more time for review (wee hours this morning), I came back and eliminated the BLP violation and reference to the dispute site.  At some point in here [www3.sympatico.ca/cormier.jp/other_html_history_of_louisdale.html. this] got claimed as a source.
:#Then, near 11 AM Atlantic time today, [[User:Grandiqueferry]] revised the "History" section title to be "Revisionist History" and referenced the same site that Uglybaraco222 had used.  An RC patroller reverted as vandalism, then [[User:Toddst1]] spotted the copyright violation.
:#I deleted the old copyright violation, completely eliminating the history section.
:#Grandiqueferry readded some of the copyright violating material, and Toddst1 listed at [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2007 November 2/Articles]].
:#I happened to make the next addition to the copyright problem page, confirmed that it was a repeated copyright violation, and deleted the problem edits again.  I then protected and requested help.
:That is the mess, as best I can sort it out.  It looks like an outside conflict spilling over onto us, combined with violations of copyright, violations of [[WP:NOR]], and possible sockpuppetry.  Why this is occurring over a small community in Nova Scotia is beyond me.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]]

Dear GRBeryy, just curious about deletion of this page. It is stated:  08:15, 3 November 2007 GRBerry (Talk | contribs) deleted "Vedanta Society of Western Washington" ‎ (WP:CSD#G12 copyright violation of [http://members.tripod.com/vyrus_2/band_history.htm]

Now, that page did perhaps violate copyright content, at http://www.vedanta-seattle.org/, but certainly none of the material was from the "band history" page you cited. Trust this was an error, and that you meant to put the other site. [[User:Sw.my|Sw.my]] 04:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

:Yet, that was a mistake.  Log corrected.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 13:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

== [[Gail Kimbell]] misunderstanding ==

Hello, there may have been an error when you  deleted the page, [[Gail Kimbell]]?  The page was tagged for speedy deletion under [[WP:CSD#G12]].  The information on the page was taken from the U.S. Forest's Service's Web Site: [http://www.fs.fed.us/aboutus/chief/#chief About the Chief.]  This information is public domain.  As stated in the policy for speedy deletion ([[WP:CSD#G12]]) there must be "no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a free license" for a page's speedy deletion.  The problem is, this information was taken from a government website which under the [[Wikipedia:Public domain]] policy is public domain.  It is also stated under the U.S. Forestry Service's Privacy Policy that the information presented on the website is considered public information and "may be distributed or copied unless otherwise indicated".  Bottom line, it is not copyrighted material and should not have been deleted.  If I have overlooked something, since I am still new at Wikipedia, please leave a comment.  Thank you, --[[User:Cladestine|Cladestine]] 23:54, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

:That was dumb of me.  You are correct that U.S. government works are in the public domain.  Restored.  Tagged for wikification; as it does need some rewriting to match the usual Wikipedia style.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 02:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

::Thanks for your help.  I'll try to work on its' wikifaction.  --[[User:Cladestine|Cladestine]] 20:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

== I figured that they would be copyright violations ==

Just because they seemed so similar in style to the other pages that were definitely copyvios.--'''[[User:HisSpaceResearch|h i s]]'''   <sup>''[[User talk:HisSpaceResearch|s p a c e]]''</sup>   <sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/HisSpaceResearch|r e s e a r c h]]'''</sub> 14:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

:That isn't helpful, because we need more evidence.  To delete as a copyright violation we need to know of what. From [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems#Instructions for special cases]] "Probable copyvios without a known source: If you suspect that an article contains a copyright violation, but you cannot find a source for the violation (so you aren't sure that it's a violation), do not list it here. Instead, place <nowiki>{{cv-unsure|~~~|2=FULL_URL}}</nowiki> on the article's talk page, but replace FULL_URL with the full URL of the article version that you believe contains a violation. (To determine the URL, click on "Permanent link" in the toolbox area, and copy the URL.)"  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 14:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I was just curious about why you reverted the addition of a death date with reference & the correction of the year of trial, which was supported in the reference? Thanks. [[User:Wildhartlivie|Wildhartlivie]] 23:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:It was a screw up.  For some reason, that I don't now recollect, I'd thought the editor was making bad edits.  I know that I didn't notice the reference.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 03:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm just glad to find someone who will say that!! [[User:Wildhartlivie|Wildhartlivie]] 04:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

==[[Internationalised Curriculum]]==
Please unprotect so that I may add this again as I believe it has been deleted for all the wrong reasons. Despite my efforts to look for references the article kept being delete...very frustrating...so here are a reem of references and there are many more to show this IS a term that needs inclusion as it IS a widely discussed anissue in the academic world. Wikipedia is a place many will look for this type of information. It should not be relegated to Googlepedia.
Please favourably consider my request ao that we can proceed positively. Thank you [[User:124.120.36.147|124.120.36.147]] 07:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. I would just like to introduce you to my site, ironfurnaces.com, that is dedicated to cataloging all of the historic iron furnaces around the world (no matter how little content is available). I do not take information from places to put it on my site, instead I would rather have people come and put information on there themselves. I invite you to become an editor on the site and load some photos and a brief history if you would like. This site is completely free to view or edit and contains no advertisement or pop-ups of any kind. (And uses the Wikimedia software.)[[User:Rhammond|Rhammond]] 10:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Morning! You may remember speedy deleting the [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_October_5|above article]] last month. It appears it was recreated under a different name on the very same day by a disgruntled supporter of the aricle. Please see my post on the subject [[User_talk:Hut_8.5#Patrick_A._Reid|here]]. It has already been independently renominated for deletion but the discussion was rather stunted due to only those who took part in the article's stealth recreation being present! :D Given it's a straight reproduction of this previously (twice and one review) deleted article I'd request this be deleted straight off the bat. At the very least it should be relisted in AfD. Many thanks. [[User:Hen Features|Hen Features]] 05:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

:I'm going to ask a more experienced admin to review.  I'm too tired right now, and it isn't critically urgent.  [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 05:38, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

:: Fair play. One thing I've learnt is that nothing is ever as pressing as the one who's pressing would like you to believe. I quote [[Bright Eyes (band)|Bright Eyes]]. Thanks for taking the time to have a look at it, though. I did also flag this up with the admin who closed it.[[User:Hen Features|Hen Features]] 05:41, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
