== Important Notice: Your 2013 Arbitration Committee Election vote ==
== resurrecting an article ==


Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/360|this link]]. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2013/Coordination#Electoral_Commission|the election commissioners]]. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, [[User_talk:TParis|TParis]]
Hi Kevin.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Template:Afc b]]==
I've recently learned a bit about the field of Core Energetics, and I'm excited to finally find a topic where I have some knowledge to give back to Wikipedia after all these years. So I'd like to resurrect and clean up this page:<br />
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]


A tag has been placed on [[:Template:Afc b]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#T3|section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]] because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Meco/sandbox<br />


If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes.
I've read the history of the page, but I'm unclear why you removed it.<br />


If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Template:Afc b|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Template%3AAfc+b|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-t3-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> '''''[[User:NYKevin|<span style="color: red;">N</span>]][[User talk:NYKevin|<span style="color:green;">Y</span>]][[Special:Contributions/NYKevin|<span style="color:blue">Kevin</span>]]''''' 18:00, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

I have put a block template on both the user page and talk page of Meco. (User contribution indicates that he has been blocked, which is unfortunate for the article about [[Jonas Gahr Støre]] since Meco contributed to the section about the conflict of interest parliamentary hearing in 2012.) --[[User:Ship owner symposium|Ship owner symposium]] ([[User talk:Ship owner symposium|talk]]) 10:30, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Please note that if you post something for me here, I'll respond to it here.

If I posted on your talk page, I have it watched so you can reply there. It just makes for easier reading. Thanks.

Are you certain?

John Avlon marketing his book.

[edit]

Hi,

So I noticed a sentence in the "radical center" wiki with no citation.

The definitive history of "Centrism" in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date[citation needed], is John Avlon's Independent Nation (2004, pbk. 2005).

I was unaware that sales figures were kept for "radical centrist" publications, so I did some searching for a top 10 list of radical centrists books by various years (2009, 2008, 2007 etc..). Unfortunately, I was unable to find such a list.

So, I removed the sentence. Then I went to John Avlon's wiki to remove the following sentence, which cites as its source the sentence in the "radical center" wiki that has no citation!

Independent Nation has been called, "the definitive history of 'Centrism' in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date."

Unfortunately, I'm a newbie so I can't change the page. I imagine there were some "angry" edits made in the past few months which is why the page is protected. Nevertheless, the above sentence strikes me as pure unsupported marketing which shouldn't have a place on a factual bio page.

Cheers!
