Deletion of Equinox Festival page

Hello, you formerly deleted the Equinox Festival page as lacking in notability when hundreds of sites came up with references to the festival. At this point the festival has generated an enormous amount of print and web based press including Timeout London, The Wire, Fortean Times, Reality Sandwich and many many others. Is it possible to reinstate this page? Please let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.191.253 (talk) 22:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Equinox Festival was clear, you would need to go to WP:DRV. MBisanz ^talk 03:19, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

List of LSAT Instruction Providers

Hi. You've requested deletion of List of LSAT Instruction Providers. You claim that it violates WP:NOTDIR. I don't see how. I've asked you to explain this assertion, but you apparently refuse to do so. I find this rather rude.--Patent Lawyer 001 (talk) 14:13, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

It is a list of all providers of a commercial service which I feel violates the "Wikipedia is not the yellow pages." part of WP:NOTDIR. MBisanz ^talk 03:33, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for being more specific. However, I am still confused. If Wikipedia is not a yellow pages, then why does it contain this List_of_asset_management_firms, this List_of_South_Korean_retailers, this List of restaurant chains in the United States and many other lists of businesses categorized in [1] or [2]?? There does not appear to be any prohibition on lists of "providers of a commercial service". So there seems to be a problem with capricious enforcement of Wikipedia's rules. --Patent Lawyer 001 (talk) 14:13, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

The issue is that there are very few notable services and they could be covered in a category or in the main article, a list of mainly external links is not appropriate. Those other lists you link to are not the same style as the list in question. MBisanz ^talk 15:10, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Really? Did you look at List_of_South_Korean_retailers? It looks like the same style to me. --Patent Lawyer 001 (talk) 15:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

There are about 30+ links there, all to other Wikipedia articles. There are only two or three links on the LSAT list to other Wikipedia articles. MBisanz ^talk 15:20, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

If you look more closely, you will see that most of the links are to articles that don't exist. So... ?!?!? --Patent Lawyer 001 (talk) 16:17, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Hello can be so kind to give me the template for that wikipedia signpost userbox? I tried to get the template by hitting "edit page" and copying from your user page to mine, but It gives me {{User:MBisanz/UBX}} and nothing else, and I went to {{User:MBisanz/UBX}} and couldn't find anything on the page, so do you mind lending me the template for that userbox? KMFDM FAN (talk) 21:34, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

OTRS

Thanks for the invite, but I think I'll decline for now. I currently have too much going on here (plus the requests for Commons) to take on OTRS as well. Hopefully as some of my tasks here are completed, I'll take you up on the offer later. I appreciate you taking the time to add the OTRS permissions for the images I uploaded. --Happy editing!

See this. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 12:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Um, you linked me to a changing diff based on the latest revision to your page. Which diff did you mean? MBisanz ^talk 16:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I HATE that... here, that should do it. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks the same to me. Suggesting an indef block. MBisanz ^talk 17:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

GATA

Hi. I don't think you should have deleted the GATA page. "Fringe" is a matter for opinion, but is

http://www.stockhouse.com/Columnists/2009/June/1/Raise-the-caution-flags-for-gold,-silver--Got-Gold

fringe? The GATA site is poorly covered by the mainstream media, but that's not an excuse for Wikipedia to ape them and also do a shitty job. If you have to look at one part of the GATA page for proof they're right (since that proof abounds) take a look at what Barrick Gold admitted in court about wanting Sovereign Immunity because they were working on behalf of Central Banks, just as GATA had alleged for years. If these people were "loons," they'd have gone away by now. They're not, so they haven't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.188.3.239 (talk • contribs)

deleting file without warning

Can you please explain why file File talk:Bobbyhutcherson-joelocke-072007.jpg was suddenly deleted without warning? Can you please provide logical history. This is annoying - the file was used on various pages. --natz (talk) 20:34, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The page was a meaingless page created by an IP that didn't have to do with the image. It was not the file page which is still at File:Bobbyhutcherson-joelocke-072007.jpg. MBisanz ^talk 20:49, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of physics article

A couple of days ago you deleted a page I created, without warning. I'm just really confused as to why this was done. The page had been scoured through by mathematicians and scientists on wikipedia many times and there had only ever been small issues with the article (such as a mistake in one of the equations by me and the wrong date in one of the attributed journals). The sudden deletion has obviously confused me a bit, and I would like to know how the conclusion of "hoax" was reached, on a page with journal and published scientific paper backing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anterior1 (talk • contribs) 01:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Black Market Hero page

I was just wondering why this article was deleted as it is for an active band that is currently working on an album. The page will just end up recreated so what was the point in deleting it? --Mikebustraan (talk) 14:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

It still existed last I handled it, User:Michig was working on it. MBisanz ^talk 14:08, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

New Jersay sock

User:Patty wack has been vandalizing List of terrorist incidents, 2009 for the past month now. I'm 100% certain this user is another sock of User:Jersay: Patty wack, Somalia, Blue Jays, Terrorist incidents, banned Tuesday2009, same history, Jersay contrib. I know he'll just make a new account after I submit a sock report. Wikifan12345 (talk) 04:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Flag of Sweden

Can you please explain why you deleted File talk:Flag of Sweden.svg? That page contained valuable discussion on the sources for creating a correct reproduction of the flag (dimensions, color accuracy, etc). It is now no longer possible to follow the reasoning for the file edits in the file history section, which is essential to further improve the file. Please reconsider your decision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiklas (talk • contribs) 12:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, the version I deleted was

A blue flag that has a yellow vertical line on it
and dezire wood wrote this

There is an older version that references actual measurements, I'll restore that version. MBisanz ^talk 12:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow, you're fast! Thanks. Wiklas (talk) 12:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to keep nagging about this. I noticed you restored a version from August 30, 2008 with one line of talk. Could you try finding a version after my last edit of the file on February 3, 2009? I remember there were contributions from several people, and I added my own. Alternatively, just inform me where I should go to request earlier version of discussion pages. After all, you only cleaned up some junk so you shouldn't have to deal with this. Thanks again! Wiklas (talk) 13:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, there aren't any other contributions after that date. Also, you have never edited that page, unless you edited it under an IP. Could you have it confused with a different page? MBisanz ^talk 13:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. Apparently this Wikipedia page comes from Wikimedia. The discussion there is intact. My mistake, I'm very sorry for causing you trouble. Wiklas (talk) 13:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem at all. Feel free to ask me anything, anytime. MBisanz ^talk 13:51, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

High Reaches Weyr

Hello! I was just about to comment in this one. Anyway, might you reconsider allowing for a history undeletion (to see if anything can be merged) and redirect to Weyr, which was recently kept? Thanks! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 13:16, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I've emailed you a copy of the final version. MBisanz ^talk 13:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

File talk:Orly.jpg

Hope you don't mind but I just un-deleted the talk page. It's linked from the top of the Talk:O RLY? page. The page gets several questions as to why the image doesn't exist and it's useful to be able to link to that discussion. Cheers.

Sure, I went ahead an added a template to keep it from getting caught in the database report. MBisanz ^talk 18:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
