==Z Games Article Reactivation==
I would like to request that you please reactivate the article "Z Games."  It has been edited so it is no longer an advertisement, but rather and informative article about the Z Games company and its games.  If anything needs to be changed, please let me know.  I can't do any editing since you seem to have had it "protected."

I appreciate your help.

Why did you delete this page? I see you noted it as CSD G3; it may have been vandalized at the time (I don't know) but it had a long history and was not eligible for CSD (if it was vandalized, it should have been reverted). [[User:BoojiBoy|BoojiBoy]] 19:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Naconkantari. Does a7 extend to businesses? Or does a7 groups of people only refer to bands, sports teams, music groups? I know that bands, sports teams, also make money etc, but their raison d'etre is to "win competitions" rather than to make money irrespective of "quality" if you know what I mean.

Hi Naconkantari.  The above user has requested to be unblocked and I think the request has some merit.  He was arguing (albeit inappropriately) with [[User:Raven Symone]] who was purporting to be the actress.  I think he shows some remorse on his talk page, and I've indef blocked [[User:Raven Symone]].  I defer to your judgment as you placed the block, but I'd be tempted to let the guy go on this one.  I do agree that the "screw you" was superfluous.  Many thanks -- [[User:Samir_(The_Scope)|'''Samir''']]   <small>[[User_talk:Samir_(The_Scope)|धर्म]]</small> 04:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

== Block verification ==

Going through unblock templates... what was the reason for the block of [[User:Balloonguy]]?

Hi. Could I ask you why you aren't putting test5 templates on talk pages?

== Open proxy ==

Hi, an IP vandalized [[Adolf Hitler]], introducing \\\ at the same time, so I blocked for a week, to give time for an investigation at [[WP:OP]] I see that you [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:85.234.150.65 extended it to indefinite]. I have now been told that it is ''not'' an open proxy. I don't have any knowledge on the subject, but I don't understand how it was introducing all the \\\ throughout the article. Anyway, with some reluctance, I'm going to unblock. It's now been more than 24 hours.

Hiya, are you available to give an opinion on something?  I'm choosing you kind of at random as an uninvolved admin.  Could you please take a look at the recent edits at [[DragonRealms]]?

== Norman Technologies - deletion reason ==

Could you be kind enough to explain how you determined that the "consensus" on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Norman_Technologies Norman Technologies] was for a Delete?  I thought that the default when a consensus is not reached, is to "Keep".  The final tally, as far as I could see was: 26 Delete, versus 18 Keep.  That is, 59% vs. 41%.  Does that constitute consensus? -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 21:38, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
:I closed it as delete because after reviewing the AfD and the article, I found it to be a non-notable company.  This comment ''"this article does not meet notability requirements, and this is a bad precedent to allow people to be paid to write articles, meaning they have a vested interest in creating the article and making sure it's kept. If a writer is being paid, what's to keep the writer or his employers from paying for "keep" votes?"'' sums up what I believe.  As always, if you feel that the deletion ''process'' was incorrect, [[WP:DRV]] is available. [[User:Naconkantari|<span style="color:red">Nacon</span><span style="color:gray">'''kantari'''</span>]] 00:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
::Personally, I can understand the failure of notability requirements, and I respect your decision on that point alone.  If, in the next few months or years, another independent publication or two (other than the Charlotte Business Journal) discuss the company [[Norman Technologies]], then I think that a new attempt to establish the article ought to pass inspection, based on Criterion 1 of [[WP:CORP]].  However, your mention of the "bad precedent" argument suggests to me that political reasons were also present in your mind when making the Delete call, and that is nearly as "bad" as the supposedly bad precedent.  I will not personally pursue [[WP:DRV]] for this company at this time. -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 02:43, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

== Spam blacklist ==

I don't know what the procedure is for adding sites to the spam blacklist, but I saw that you're active with the file so I'm presenting tihs here. [[Jason Bennett]], an acting teacher, became notorious this spring for the self-promotion by him or his followers [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jason_Bennett], principally {{user|Sgactorny}} and recently {{user|66.98.131.107}} but also {{user|69.86.190.204}}. They have repeatedly added links to http://www.jbactors.com to about eleven articles on acting and acting coaches, have used misleading labels for the links, and have deleted the links of other acting schools. I propose that the site be added to the blacklist due to the repetive spam problem. -[[User:Will Beback|Will Beback]] 23:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

== [[Christine Jennings]] ==

The source is, I think, this one [http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:91SbCUawW4IJ:www.american-reporter.com/2,875/143.html+%22Do+we+want+to+be+represented+by+a+Jew%3F%22&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=1]: Is this viable? It's only available through the Google cache so it may be that the Jennings campaign has already contacted the American Reporter and asked them to retract their article. Can we still use it as a source? --[[User:James_Kemp|Jim]] ([[User_talk:James_Kemp|Talk]]) 23:05, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I just wanted to send you the same response that was sent to other post authors concerning accreditation, namely the information related to Trinity School of Theology and Apologetics and ICAATS (the agensy which accredits them). The post below is a verbatim of the information I sent to the other authors. If you still feel that you are valid in your information please provide the information that would contradict the information I am sending to you. If not, then please allow the changes to stand as valid and correct information. thanks...

The Post

'''Hello CaliEd, Thanks for the reply and I will try to be brief with my response.  I did some investigating as you suggested and found the following information from the Internet...The information to which I referred in the edits was related to the National Consitution of India and certain Acts that were established for the purposes of minority-community populations within the country. I pulled this information is the [[Ministry of Human Resource Development]] http://www.education.nic.in/minority.asp under the Higher Education section of the website. The Act in question is The National Commission for Minority Educational Institution (Amendment) Act, 2004'''

'''The Act states that minority-communities within the country are entitled to be supervised by agencies outside the scope of the Education Department and the UGC so that all people will have the same opportunity to have access to higher education. The Act allows for the creation and operation of entities that will basically function as accreditation agents under the strict supervision of the State and Central Government.'''

'''In addition I went to several websites listing the institutions which were considered blacklisted by several U.S. State Education Agencies that were listed in several of the articles posted in Wikipedia and the Trinity School of Theology and Apologetics nor ICAATS are not on their lists. I have no personal vendetta against you or others who have posted this information. I am only asking for fair representation of the information that is in the entry. I will seek to secure other documentation to further verify the information, however, it will be hard for you to argue against the Act of the National Constitution of India which in fact does support the existence of organizations like Trinity School and the organization which accredits them, namely, ICAATS...Thanks''' [[User:Tob55|Tob55]] 03:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC) 11:55, 21 August, 2006

==Apologies==

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your message and many apologies. I completely respect Wikipedia and the work that you're doing and am sorry for acting so frivolously in regards to it. To be honest (and this is very naive of me) I didn't realize quite what a large and important endeavour it is and am very impressed by the constant research that goes on. I can now see how much work you have to do to keep on top of people making inappropriate changes and how annoying it must be to discover deliberate fallacies.

I can assure you that we won't be bothering you again with our little project. Apologies again and good luck,

VG Farmer

May I ask why you closed this as a no consensus? Taking out the clear puppets and similar problems, it seems to be a delete or a merge. [[User:JoshuaZ|JoshuaZ]] 02:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
:Wow, 1 for 3 tonight.  I felt that there were valid objections to the deletion and the article underwent somewhat of a rewrite during the discussion.  As I said in the section above, [[WP:DRV]] is always available. [[User:Naconkantari|<span style="color:red">Nacon</span><span style="color:gray">'''kantari'''</span>]] 02:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Would you at least consider reopening the discussion for a while or relisting it?  It was still being discussed at the time of closing, and productively - one of the deletes was changed to a merge recently, for example.
