Hi

I really appreciate yout timely response.I am a student who is doing a survey on restaurants in Mid town,Manhattan.Tiffin wala was one my first write ups.I found it really unique because of its plans of implementing delivering the lunch boxes to door step of the working people in New York. At the same time I am doing a survey on other restaurants as well.However Wiki is not providing me an oppurtunity to update it by deleting it time and again.I have been educating many people about wiki and expecting user contributions as well. My revised article did not contain any text that would seem advertising and I gave a scope for user contributions.However its dis heartening to know that I am being deprived of an oppurtunity. Kindly justify

Hi

You deleted my article on one of the restaurants - Tiffin Wallah. Why doesnt wiki give scope to write about interesting places around? .Entry was hardly a day old and you dont seem to be giving any scope for user contributions. However I still see entries for other restaurants on wikipedia.how would you justify this?

Hi!

You deleted the Article I just wrote - Epilogue Day - so, I just wanted to ask - are you sure it should be deleted? really? I mean, I think it was rather nice. so can't you put it back on? pretty please...? (: now seriously - I'm not a spammer or anything, I really love wikipedia, I just wanted to know what's wrong with it. have a nice day, horizon 12:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the speedy comment... well, I guess I'll wait with writing the article. (:

How to close AfDs

Hi, I am a brand new administrator and I want to find out how to close a debate at AfD. Can you please direct me? Bearian 14:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information! Bearian 16:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ralph & Co

Hi - You just deleted a page I created for Ralph & Co saying that it failed to pass notability standards and directed me to the relevant help pages to see for myself. Unfortunately in the criteria for speedy deletion it quite patently says that lack of notability is not a reason for speedy deletion?!? You also pointed me to the criteria for companies, which again doesn't give me any clear reason for your speedy deletion of this page.

As the pages you directed me to explain, you should have approached me beforehand to discuss the deletion/editing of this page. Either way, if you have some other suggestions as to how I may alter the page in order to get it back up and running I would quite happily discuss them with you. Otherwise please review your decision and undelete Ralph & Co.

Thanks Lordbriggs 16:42 GMT, 1 October 2007 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 15:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT/UPDATE: Ok so while I completely miss the difference between nonnotiblity and "it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable", and moreover I still am positive that your deletion broke the rules I guess I have to work with you here. Ralph have had much press and notability over the years. I already had one source in the article that you deleted, but here are a few more.

Channel 4

NMA Top 100 Agency

Netimperitive Interview

Web Designer Magazine Interview

Can you let me know how i am supposed to implement these into the page? Is it through a references section at the bottom.

Thanks --Lordbriggs 16:56, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT/UPDATE 2 Thanks for the info. By the way before I forget, the article about citation you linked me to has some spam in it in the table of contents. It is pretty racist, so you may want to look at it asap. Aside from that can you let me know how to edit the page so that we can get the Ralph & Co page up and running again. Thannks. --Lordbriggs 21:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FINAL UPDATE Thanks again. Glad you sorted that vandalism out. There are some idiots inhabiting our breathing space. Anyway I have done as you said and updated the page with the sources. I plan to expand on the page in the near future to bring in more info and references so I will get in touch with any more queries. Speak soon. --Lordbriggs 09:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Llama Farmers

Why has this gone? (Just came here looking for any new info and discovered they've been obliterated). Surely meets notability, see e.g. http://music.yahoo.com/ar-295349---Llama-Farmers for releases etc. (No idea where they've been for the last 5 years but don't see why that gets them deleted...) --195.212.29.92 16:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A question regarding vandalism.

If you have a moment, I would like to bring a matter to your attention, and ask for your opinion. Earlier today, anonymous user 201.254.85.193 vandalized the 1973 oil crisis article 17 times in the space of 9 minutes (see [[1]]). In that time span, he received 3 vandalism warnings before finally being blocked by Antandrus.

My question, and one for which I am not certain you can give a complete answer, is: Why did it take so long for the block to be initiated? I understand that administrators are busy. But, really 17 acts of vandalism in 9 minutes and only 3 warnings? Surely we can do better than that, yes? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 18:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for my tone. Rereading this, I realize it came off as much more of a complaint than I intended. My intention was not to point fingers or cast aspersions, I was really just curious to hear your opinion. I appreciate your response. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 18:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose what is actually amazing is that he committed 17 acts of vandalism in 9 minutes. Apparently, the anonymous user has a faster internet connection than I do! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 18:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doing the vandal patrol for awhile, it takes the last warning to really trigger the block. I have noticed that most of the time the ban hammer comes down swiftly if you report them to WP:AIV after the last warning. Getting to that last warning takes most of the time. Spryde 12:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the help!

thanks for the help, that individual has been going non-stop all day!--Mike Searson 19:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Super

Great work in deleting nonsense articles, this user has created a lot.. please have a look. [2] Thanks! Phgao 20:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

Phgao 20:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what?

hi i noticed on recent changes that you deleted a user page and blocked the user indefinitely for being a vandalism-only account however, according to Special:Contributions/Marlith there is no vandalism, i think the vandal is Special:Contributions/MarIth. Please correct me if i am incorrect--AF US CO 21:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Do Me London

Hi there. Could you explain why my Do Me London page was instantly deleted? I saw when I was writing it that it had been deleted before, but it seemed from the delete log that that was because the initial page had just been a bit of advertising blurb from the company that runs it rather than a proper article. I don't understand why that automatically disqualifies the entry that I wrote.

Can I also check that you saw the whole article? I'm still pretty new here and it wasn't displaying properly for me - just the first few lines. I'm not sure if I'd done something wrong in the formatting. I'm worried that that was all you saw and you deleted it because it looked like two sentences of spam, rather than a proper entry with references to newspaper articles, etc. Can you let me know? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Umenides (talk • contribs) 14:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand your reason for deleting my article

Speedy deletion of Jan Janßen

A tag has been placed on Jan Janßen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD a7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Tckma 14:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this Article deleted ? For sure, Jan Janßen is not a very important Person, but I think it is important to mention, that there is a different version of writing "Jan Janßen". All the Articles on Wikipedia just contain "Jan Janssen" and there is no "Jan Janßen", so I thought it is important to add this person the wikipedia! So please Explain why you disagree !

Thanks

Hey, Nawlin...thanks for rv'ing the lastest blast on my talk page...looks like you got some from this guy, too. He's one of the many IPs of User:Wikzilla, who was blocked and decided to try to evade the block with a series of socks, now he's just IP hopping with his crap. Unfortunately, there's not much we can do other than revert with folks like this, revert and wait patiently for them to get bored with their antics. Just wanted you to know what you stumbled into.

Under my arm Baretta

I'm really not sure why you deleted my page?! Have you actually done your research? I have multiple sources in LA that have confirmed this story, including one of Rihanna's best friends. Can you please reinstate the page? I really feel as if this has been removed prematurely.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baretta99 (talk • contribs) 17:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kennesaw State University Department of English

We are furthering this site as a group project for our English Education class English 3241. However, this is the second time you have deleted our site concerning the Department of English, claiming that we were advertising, and there are several other instances of universities expanding their departments. Why is ours deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Merkabamantra (talk • contribs) 18:56, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That quote was taken straight from the source in order to protect validity. If we source and link and the exact sites these are taken from, would our page be safe? If every possible connection was referenced, would our problem be solved? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Merkabamantra (talk • contribs) 19:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We are not members of the department, we are students. If there is any further input that you could give us to keep our entry up and running, please extend them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merkabamantra (talk • contribs) 14:12, October 2, 2007

Shoemoney

Hello Nawlin, would you please give me some insight into why you deleted the Shoemoney/Jeremy Schoemaker page? I believe he is a relevant Internet personality and there are several references listed for him, including the BusinessWeek one which names him as a top blogger. Thanks so much for any info. - Julia - Julia Wilkinson —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliawilk (talk • contribs) 23:01, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maavägi

Hi! Can you please help me? I reated the Estonian Army page in here on wikipedia. It is under construction and I improve it every day. Just today one of the Estonian Project member (I am myself Estonian as well) noted out that the page I created has some seriuos problems with the style and pictures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maav%C3%A4gi could you please, as an administrator check it up and tell me would such style be okey? I have added many pictures of the am and vehicles along with the text and also I made small icons for the army weapons and equipment types.

My problem:

This article has multiple issues:

   * Its references would be clearer with a different and/or consistent style of citation, footnoting or external linking. Tagged since October 2007.
   * It may need to be wikified to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.Tagged since October 2007.
   * It may require general cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.Tagged since October 2007.

Please help improve the article or discuss these issues on the talk page.

I would like that my style would be ccepted as I belive it is more interesting for the watcher when there are some icons and pictures to see while he(she reads the informtion. Hope you have time to check it up and that you can help me with it. User:Karabinier 16:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maavägi

I will remove some of the pictures but I wouldnt want to remove all of them from the right corner - left side weapons list and right side picture list - I would like to preserve it but with less pictures. But what about the other things that one the user Sander Säde critisized? Does wikipedia allow-accept icons before the weapons system-type? Also would it be for you as a watcher - interesting/cool or boring/annoying - to see? User:Karabinier 16:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Judge Smails

The page I put up for Lions-fans mocks almost exactly the same page for ExtremeSkins, which is the identical fan site for a different team. I will recreate my page since it is valid.

Speedy deletion

I am in the process of creating Anthony Andersen. Please refrain from deletions until the {{inuse}} tag is removed. Thanks. dr.ef.tymac 16:08, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

O.k. the inuse tag has been removed, feel free to speedy-delete away as the article already exists under a different spelling. Thanks. dr.ef.tymac 16:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that - my mind is moving way faster than my fingers... A Sniper 10:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, can you please say how you would integrate the Why A.F.C. extract into the history. --Sunderland06 19:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding sources

how do you add a source that has already been added. --Sunderland06 19:51, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I meant if you have already have a citation, how do you put the same citation in a different place. --Sunderland06 19:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, bud.--Sunderland06 20:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blog opera

I wasn't aware that neologisms could be speedied. Can it really? (Especially as this term seemed to be used at multiple sites). - CobaltBlueTony 20:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so what do I tag it with to speedy it? {{db-nonsense}}? - CobaltBlueTony 20:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. It's back. - CobaltBlueTony 20:12, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Back again! - CobaltBlueTony 20:35, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance

Hi, I just made a page on Adam Johnson (lover).

I noticed you deleted my page about Britney Spears. Is it because she is controversial and I'm being too trivial/?

Deletion of Loyola 2L page

Well, that didn't last long. Could you please explain the criteria for determining whether a blogger is notable? For instance, I linked to a front page Wall Street Journal article that discussed him, and as another commentator said, a quick google search reveals a mass of discourse both by Loyola 2L and about him. Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Turkeycocoa

Additionally, looking at the first deletion of the page in June, there was an admin who recommended allowing the recreation of the page, should a new newspaper article appear mentioning Loyola 2L. The Wall Street Journal article fits the bill.
