Irene Gauthier

Hello, I have resubmitted a definition about Irene Gauthier. You were one of two people who flagged her previous definition and I can only assume it was due to lack of citations. Unfortunately the news articles and sites previously posted are on websites that archive the articles making accessibility difficult. I have submitted four new citations that are most current and will slowly have the time to add more from the past as I pay for the access to news archives. There is 40 years of material floating out there!

I hope you may find my submission worthy of Wikipedia as Irene is certainly worthy of the attention.

Sincerely, --Derek S. Derek1974 (talk) 20:53, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

why was this deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.135.253 (talk) 00:41, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

It was deleted after this discussion because it had nothing to do with building the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a web-space provider for other purposes. There is a site at http://theholders.org/ where these stories, or whatever they are, can be posted. JohnCD (talk) 08:22, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Seymour Architecture

Can I please ask why you have deleted Seymour Architecture ?

A number of people have requested info on this company as it formed as part of a larger company spilt, and thought wikipedia was a viable forum, as existing architectural companies, such as foster and partners, use wikipedia as a platform to detail projects etc.

The intention is to build this page into a profile page containing a similar level of detail to that of the foster and partners page, as Seymour Architecture have been responsible for a number of large architectural projects, such as the largest business park in europe (Cobalt).

I'd be interested to hear your comments and thanks for your time.

Irene Gauthier

Thank JohnCD for your quick response. I have emailed Scientizzle for review of my submission and my new references. All are about Irene and are from 3rd party sources. I am going to start to slowly pay for the access to various news archives. However I am hopeful that those I posted will be enough to get it online and to allow others to post as well.

Thanks again, Derek1974 Derek1974 (talk) 17:34, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry (DASHBot error)

Hey John, just wanted to leave a quick note saying that I'm sorry for the error the bot made. Last night was the first time I've let the bot run without me watching it, and it seems that I will have to spend some more time babysitting it until I shall try it again. In any case, I echoed your apology on the user's talk page, reiterating that the fault was my own. Thanks so much for being vigilant, and for reporting the error to me in a pleasant way. Cheers, Tim1357 ^talk 18:45, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

No problem, and thanks for fixing it quickly. I was more worried that two human editors then repeated the mistake, so that the unfortunate newbie ended up with a #3 warning and threats of blocking. JohnCD (talk) 18:48, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll see about expanding it a bit. JohnCD (talk) 19:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Lache Park Limited

Can you explain why a charity such as St john Ambulance is in your opinion Notable but a small community based one is not. Compared to much of the crap on wikipedia I should imagine writing about a charity should be allowed in regards to it being relevant to people.

Create a Wiki

Hey JohnCD,see this Wiki http://www.wiki.srb2.org now say me:"Where can create a Wiki equal this ?" Please reply. Don't put tutorial,only put where create, my Wiki was Created in Editthis.info like of there, more don't gives nor to change the Logo Please help me. KnuxD (talk) 11:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry, I cannot help, because I do not know how to create a Wiki. To make one like http://wiki.srb2.org would be complicated and expensive, because you would need to have your own server and your own copy of the Mediawiki software. It would be much easier to make one using a Wiki farm. If you have problems using Editthis.info, you can try one of the others listed at List of wiki farms such as http://www.wikia.com, or even better http://pt.wikia.com where the instructions for making the wiki are in Portuguese, even if you want English to be the língua por omissão para os visitantes da sua wiki.

The address doesn't have "www" - it's http://wiki.srb2.org, and at the bottom left of the screen it says "Powered by MediaWiki 1.15.1". JohnCD (talk) 08:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Try asking at pt:Wikipedia:Contato/Linha_direta the Portugese-language wikipedia helpdesk.LeadSongDog come howl! 14:48, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

That's a good idea. The two questions I have tried to answer are:

• How to set up a wiki using a wiki farm? - see http://pt.wikia.com
• How to set up a wiki using mediawiki software on your own server? - see http://www.mediawiki.org/

If your question is not one of those, and you cannot get an answer at the :pt help-desk, you can ask it here in Portuguese; I may be able to understand it, or to find someone who can help me understand it. JohnCD (talk) 15:19, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Total solutions

JohnCD, just making sure you saw the request to userfy on Total solutions. (After the author requested userfication, I pulled the db tag and put an adminhelp tag on the talk page above the request.) Did you catch it? If not, could you provide the author a userfied copy? --Bsherr (talk) 15:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

And it appears you were a minute ahead of me. Thanks. --Bsherr (talk) 15:33, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Did the author know about the existing userfication? That's strange. --Bsherr (talk) 15:33, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

He made it in his userspace yesterday, then copied it into mainspace today. I'm not sure what he meant by "have it made inactive" - I suppose some sort of suspension while still in mainspace. He has been blocked by another admin as a role account, and invited to choose another username. IMO he has big problems with COI, spam and notability, but I'll put some links on his talk page.
