Thank you. The Robert Conley fix you did looks great

Many thanks, Sphilbrick, on the cleanup on the Robert Conley page. The page looks great.

Thank you for your input

Thank you very much for your input. I was trying to write an Article about a surgery and I needed a link to different types of bone grafts. Thanks again. Your pal - BennyK95 - Talk 20:12, October 7 2009(UTC)

Please consider signing this proposal

Hi SPhilbrick, a number of editors have been working on a proposal regarding the renaming of the Climatic Research Unit hacking incident and they are now in the process of working with people individually to try and garner support for this proposal. I've reviewed their proposal and have decided to lend my support and signed my signature. Can you please review their proposal and if you are willing to support and defend it please add your name to the list of signatories. If you have comments or concerns regarding the proposal please feel free to discuss them here. The goal of this effort is to find a name that everyone can live with and to make that name stick by having a strong show of unified support for it moving forward. Thanks.

The "Poietics" page

I gave him the link to donating copyrighted materials because I have found that when users claim to own the content, they commonly are telling the truth. It's nice to see that you are a thorough admin and actually read the article and the summary before deleting :) . I occasionally see users tag a page as A1/A3 30 seconds after creation, and then an admin deletes it 10 seconds later. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:20, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I can fully understand the frustration of an editor who is trying to use their own words, so I try to watch for that. --SPhilbrickT 16:10, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

St. Adalbert Parish, Providence

Both article had been renamed to the new one, so old ones should remove it.--WlaKom (talk) 16:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Of course you can leave it. But I think, if someone corrects the name of the article, the old one should remove it and relinked. --WlaKom (talk) 16:21, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

PS. Problem started, when people renamed name of the articles from parish do church, not understanding that article about the parish is article about the area, and the church is just a building belonging to the parish and not to the diocese.--WlaKom (talk) 16:42, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Guttman

Hello, Mr. or Ms. Philbrick, and Happy New Year! Since you last reviewed my draft article on Howard M. Guttman, I have made further changes. I have completely rewritten the Professional Accomplishments section, and I think that the new copy is much more in keeping with Wiki style. It focuses more on Guttman's career and the influences that shaped his thinking. Can you please take a look at the revisions and let me know if you think they are an improvement. If so, I think I will try to "go live" with the article and see what happens! As always, thanks for your time and consideration. Dale Corey Dalecorey (talk) 17:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I will try to take a look later today or this evening.--SPhilbrickT 19:53, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

SHM-CD

Hello, You need to stop messing with pages that you have no knowledge about. You removed the SHM-CD page based on your opinion. You have no knowledge about SHM-CD and the Audiophile world. Why did you even mess with it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.23.216.6 (talk) 09:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but you are mistaken when you say I removed it based upon my own opinion. Understandable, as the processes are Wikipedia, while sensible, are not always obvious to newcomers. Someone else noted some concerns with the article. The process is to leave the notice up for a week. Anyone, you, or any other reader in the world could say, no, I disagree with the concerns, and the deletion notice would have been removed. Not a single person in the world felt that it should not be deleted, so I carried out the deletion. That was over a month ago.--SPhilbrickT 13:12, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I believe I did protest you to leave the page alone but you ignored my plea or I did not ask in the right place...still don't know how to do it:) Anyway, just because others did not respond(perhaps they did not know how) does not call for a removal of that entry. The SHM-CD is a very popular "format" in Japan and for collectors around the world therefore it is important it remain on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.23.216.6 (talk) 18:24, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I reviewed the article. The comment on the proposal for deletion read "This is a marketing term for what is otherwise a regular CD. As such, it is not notable enough to warrant it's own article."

I agree with that statement. There were only two references, one from the company/standard itself, so that doesn't independently support notability. That leaves a single review, not even in English.

If you will review the guidelines for Notability, you will read:

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list. (emphasis added0.

One reference does not qualify as significant coverage in this case.--SPhilbrickT 18:40, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

As an aside, you said the format is popular. Did you read the article you cited?

Q How great is the demand for SHM-CDs?

A. Relatively low. --SPhilbrickT 18:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey! If you're up to it, I could use a Wikipedia mentor. I understand the "I'm swamped, but I'll try it anyway" thing. So, where do I begin? I might suggest that you have a look at my past edits (please exclude the city/City thing!) to see the kinds of things I can do. However, I would like to be able to do more. How, considering the things I know how to do, can I be more useful to Wikipedia? Regards, Jeremiestrother (talk) 08:13, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I just sent you a message on your talk page. Let me know if you have further questions. Unfortunately, I have to inform you, that while I did not spend much time looking at the article, after confirming that there was a copyright issue, it may have other challenges. For example, it must demonstrate Notability, and I don't think it did.--SPhilbrickT 15:31, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Brass Rat images

I believe that they qualified for speedy because they can't not be copyvios — the designs are obviously copyrighted, and there's no way (except for OTRS proof) that these could be free images. Moreover, some of the images are copyrighted photographs, thus making them violations both of the photographers' copyright and of the ring-makers' copyright. Yes, the uploader should have been notified, but that serves more of a warning purpose, since virtually all images marked as copyvios are copyvios. If the uploader has a good reason to say that they're not copyvios, an appeal can be filed at WP:DRV — proof of a free license is a great way to get a copyright-related deletion overturned. However, we need to be careful with copyvios; because image deletions can always be overturned, it's safest to delete them now and pick up the pieces later. If it weren't such a big problem, our copyvio deletion process would require several days' waiting, as some other image deletion processes (e.g. deletions for no source, no license, invalid fair use, etc.) do currently. Does this answer all your questions? If not, please tell me what I forgot to answer. Nyttend (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Distribution 360

Hi,

A page I created was removed and I would like to get a copy of the content. The page was for Distribution 360 which was removed for "unambiguous advertising or promotion." First off, this page was not meant to sell anything it was merely meant to be an informational page about the company. The very essence of the company is both buying and selling multi-media content and distributing it internationally, so I fail to see how deleting the page for simply saying what the company does is in any way appropriate.

If you could send me or point me in the direction of someone that is able to send me the copy from the deleted page, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

WikiProject University of Connecticut

This was something I was thinking of trying the organize and wanted your opinion on. Right now there is no one project that covers all of the UConn-related articles. WikiProject Connecticut doesn't cover athletes (quick example: Svetlana Abrosimova) or events (such as college football bowl game) not based in Connecticut, and the sport WikiProjects naturally cover only their particular sport. I think it would be helpful to have a project where we could coordinate development of all of the UConn articles in one place. I checked Category:University of Connecticut and counted over 500 articles within it and its subcategories. I'm not envisioning massive independent peer review processes or anything like that; just having a central place to coordinate, as well as setting up WP:Article Alerts, would be sufficient for a start. Your thoughts? –Grondemar 18:37, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm interested. I'm wary over over specialization of projects, but where I've seen problems is where there's literally a dozen for fewer. 500 sounds like critical mass. Plus, I'm not a UConn grad, so I won't have a conflict of interest :).--SPhilbrickT 19:22, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I created the proposal page and a draft of the WikiProject, see below:

You are cordially invited to join the newly-proposed WikiProject University of Connecticut, designed to promote collaboration and improvement on UConn-related articles on Wikipedia. Specifically, the following articles are proposed to be within the new WikiProject's scope: The University itself, including the campuses, notable buildings, notable academic programs, and notable professors; The Connecticut Huskies athletic teams, including the men's basketball, women's basketball, and football teams, their coaches, players, facilities, and history; Notable alumni, including both athletes and non-athletes. Currently no one WikiProject covers all UConn-related content: WikiProject Universities covers only the academic-side of the university; WikiProject College basketball and WikiProject College football cover only articles from their respective sports; WikiProject Connecticut does not cover articles related to UConn that are about places or people outside Connecticut (for example: bowl games such as the 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl and alumni such as Svetlana Abrosimova). WikiProject University of Connecticut, when created, will be a centralized location to coordinate monitoring and improvement of UConn-related articles. To comment on the proposed creation of the new WikiProject University of Connecticut, click here. To join the proposed WikiProject, click here, as the membership list is transcluded directly on the proposal page. Thank you for your attention, and GO HUSKIES! –Grondemar

3 column table for MM&W site

Dear S,

Thanks or your idea for Converting spreadsheet to wikitable format- I looked at that site, and it appears complicated. AS a new Contributor, there sure is a lot to learn. This converter appears easier to me- Ever use it? http://excel2wiki.net/wikipedia.php To convert from spreadsheets such as Gnumeric, MS Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc, you can use the Copy & Paste Excel-to-Wiki converter or you can save your spreadsheets as .csv and use the csv2wikitable converter.

This table below is what I want to add to this site-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKim,_Mead,_and_White

Can you please help me, by adding it somewhere and I will fill in the info?  Sorry for the formatting, as this is a hard thing to learn.

I don't understand why adding blanks in front of text creats a dotted box? I'd like Leftmost column with the text in Bold. then 3 Columns for all the info. A nice color to match the usual InfoBox would be great, too. If you cannot help, please suggest who might. I can also email you an Excel layout if that is easier. I don't know why it is so complicated to do something so seemingly simple.

Thanks.

The convention that lines starting with a blank have a blue box added it a deliberate convention in MediaWiki.

The Excel addin isn't hard if you are used to macros, but if you aren't, it might be a lot to deal with.

I haven't looked at any other convert options.

Tables are hard because they have to be converted to html, and html wasn't designed with tables in mind. They do have code, but it isn't pretty.

If you want to email me an Excel file, I'll try converting it for you. (Look on the left hand side of the screen, (when in my user page or talk page) and you should see an "E-mail this user" link. If you don't see it, you'll have to click on "toolbox" first to open it.--SPhilbrickT 18:40, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes man?

Hello. If I am following your recent actions correctly, Yes Man (disambiguation) now redirects to Yes man which is turn redirects to Yes Man, the actual disambiguation page. However, the first item on the disambiguation page is Yes man; if a reader clicks on that link, it takes them back to the same disambiguation page again. I'm guessing that is probably not the result you intended. --R'n'B ([[User

My bad for assuming someone set it up correctly.

Yes Man is now a real dab page, so I removed the unneeded redirect from Yes man, and deleted the Yes Man (disambiguation) [age.

I think we are all OK now, yes, man?--SPhilbrickT 20:19, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Amazon Falls

I put up a page for the Canadian Film Amazon Falls. This is the first time I have ever created a Wikipedia page. I was given the poster image by the Director Katrin Bowen and producer Darren Reiter.

Everything on the page has been given to me to post by it's owners/creators.

Please advise.

Hi Sphilbrick

Thank you for enlightening me about what I need to do. We are working on revising the text for the Wiki. I will post another talk when I am reposting. As I mentioned, this is the 1st time doing this, so your patience is appreciated.

As far as the poster is concerned, IMDB has it on their site as well, so we will just reference that location for it.

Adland deletion

Hi,

I see the article has been deleted because of supposed copyright issues, but it is all fact based and was part of content that had already been on wikipedia up until last week. In addition, I had made modifications to the article from it's prior state to update information. The facts and content which had been updated by other authors had been live on wikipedia last week, but for some reason prior the page was deleted. As a moderator of Adland.tv I had been trying to help improve the article when I found it removed from wikipedia. I used information I had copied and pasted while working "offline" on additions and reposted the whole article.

I am also confused because there is no content that is the same as what I have posted in the Adland article here where it is saying there is a copyright infringement issue: http://mashpedia.com/Adland — Preceding unsigned comment added by Missadvert (talk • contribs) 15:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I will look into it immediately.--SPhilbrickT 15:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what happened. What is clear is that the deletion log shows I deleted the page this morning. However, I don't recall looking at the page until now, and do not recall looking at the supposed source of material, something I always do.

I'm not familiar with Mashpedia, but it seems like an aggregator, and may have held the exact material simply because it was a mirror.

In any event, I restored the article to the version at the time of the tagging, and removed the tags.--SPhilbrickT 16:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. That's what I thought after trying to figure out what the issue was. Very strange. But I appreciate your help. Missadvert (talk) 16:19, 29 January 2011 (UTC)missadvert

Deletion review: The 50 Most Loathsome Americans

I am informed [1] that I should place these comments here...

In regards to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The 50 Most Loathsome Americans, while I was sleeping, within 3.5 hrs of the article being listed for deletion it was gone, which gave me NO time to reply.

So, as per WP:DRV, this is Step 1 of Instructions:

"discuss the matter with the deleting administrator and try to resolve it with him or her first."

The request for deletion and the five votes cited:

• not notable

Always an easy charge to make but work to defend against, I will cite the following as beginnings of references based on a simple Google search:

[2] [3] [4]

This is perhaps its most significant issue, but also one that should not have resulted in a speedy deletion.

• "attacking"/G10

The page is not an attack because it merely restates the fact that the named individuals were listed in the "Loathsome" articles produced by The Beast. That an individual appeared in six different annual lists is a simple FACT. That The Beast used the word "Loathsome" in the title of the page is a simple fact. That a fact may be unflattering should not be criteria for removal.

• "implicitly violates BLP"

A late edit (which I cannot quote directly because it was deleted!) mentioned that The Beast listed their reasons for inclusion of each individual. That an individual was listed by The Beast is again a simple fact and not slanderous.

You should now go to User:Dalecorey/draft Howard M. Guttman, click on the down arrow next to the Star (next to View History), and click on "move".

That brings up a page, with a box suggesting a new title. Change it from User:Dalecorey/draft Howard M. Guttman to Howard M. Guttman.

For relieving us of Flooji. I know that A7 was pushing it, but common sense prevails; nice job.

Incidentally, I think maybe you missed what I wrote, with all the kerfuffle over that article the other day;

I looked to see if you were on IRC, but didn't see you.--SPhilbrickT 13:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I am, but not in #wikipedia-en-help - for boring reasons. I'm always in ##chzz if online. Or you could look for me with /whois Chzz and PM me with /query Chzz.  Chzz  ►  13:12, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I know you are not big on IRC, and hate the added complication. But, hope to see you. I could explain further live. Chzz  ►  23:17, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Moshe Aaron Yeshiva High School

Hello, Here's what I think happened. A new user tried to start an article about a notable topic, a secondary school, and misunderstood how to format the heading on their first edit of the article. They blanked the page to start over, and less than 60 seconds later, it was up for speedy deletion. They repeatedly tried to fix things but were hit by four speedies in 20 minutes. Now the article is gone. Am I missing something? Cullen328 (talk) 16:58, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds plausible. We need to let the editor know. I'll look.--SPhilbrickT 18:17, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

According to Raymie, there were also copyvio issues due to content being cut and pasted from the school's website. It seems no one tried very hard to figure out what was going on, greet the user and suggest paraphrasing as an alternative, or licensing the website language through OTRS. I will offer help to the user (if they are still around). It would be nice if an administrator could take a few minutes to help.Cullen328 (talk) 18:39, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello

Hi, my name is DarkJak495. But you can call me DJ. I was wonderng if you could take a look at the article: The Ruins of Gorlan. I want to make it a GA, but I am stuck. Can you please do what you can to help me? I would be gratefully thankful. Please respond on my talkpage, or the Ruins of Gorlan talk page. Cheers!UserDarkJak495 talk orange 20:25, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you try to get it up to B class at least?UserDarkJak495 talk orange 20:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm puzzled that you contacted me. I'll take it as flattery, but I'm puzzled. I help a lot at Requests for feedback, but that's for people who are brand-new and need some basics. I've never formally been involved in helping someone move up a class (other than from Delete to keep). I've never assessed an article (again, other than keep versus delete). I hope to work in that area sometime, but I need experience with my own editing, and getting my own articles assessed and improved before I undertake to give others advice. Sorry. Chzz is probably a better choice.--SPhilbrickT 20:52, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

• I have contacted Chzz already. Anyone else you can think of?UserDarkJak495 talk orange 21:28, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Nice job. I was half-kidding when I brought up your name, mainly my indirect was of complimenting the other tough close, but half-kidding is half not kidding. I'm happy you took it on, your "reward" will be that I won't forget this :)--SPhilbrickT 00:15, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Howard M. Guttman

Dear SPhilbrick:

I saw your message on my talk page saying that I needed to start a new section for a comment. I think I was confused between talk pages and discussions. I hope I am doing this correctly now. I tried to follow your instructions to move my Guttman article live, but I couldn't find the star next to the view history label. I see that it is on the top of this page. I think I must be on the wrong page. I will try again. Sorry and thanks, Dale Dalecorey (talk) 16:12, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Restore?

Could you restore Bill Landreth which you deleted as G10? The article was not an attack article - the subject is a hacker (specifically a cracker) who received a modicom of attention prior to and after his disappearance in the 80s. See this for example. --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:58, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

No worries. Not sure if it would survive an AfD, but now it has a shot at improvement. Cheers, --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 19:08, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Re:Edits

Thats cool, don't worry about it. I'm actually used to people editing my comments on account of my rather poor spelling and grammar, so I don't have a problem with it, and in the long run linking to the above mentioned issues I listed is likely to help the user by enlightening him as to all the reasons behind the block.

Count of Tara - deleted article

The Count and Countess of Tara, if they exist, have just announced the birth of a child, 'Countess Allegra Carys', in the Daily Telegraph: http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/births/128646/james-of-tara

What can you tell us about the origins of the article you deleted, and about the 'Count and Countess'?Shipsview (talk) 09:01, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

The article I deleted was suspected to be a possible hoax. Perhaps it wasn't but it had absolutely no indication that it was legitimate—not a single reference, so it could have been deleted for other reasons. If someone wants to put together another article, meeting the guidelines, it could be accepted.--SPhilbrickT 14:11, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

What can I do to get this fellow to leave me alone? (See my talk page.) Jeremiestrother (talk) 22:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC) I generally eschew confrontation, but as I thought about it, my feeling is that either he leaves me alone or I leave.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Alexandra Marie Weber

Thank you for deleting User:Alexandra Marie Weber. Per Edison's and my comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Alexandra Marie Weber, would you block Alexandra Marie Weber (talk · contribs)? We suspect that the user is impersonating a real person with that name. This edit, which was made after your deletion of the userpage and is possibly defamatory, also needs to be revision deleted. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 11:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm looking into it.--SPhilbrickT 13:04, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

WP:REVDEL says the tool is for "Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material that has little/no encyclopedic or project value and/or violates our Biographies of living people policy. This includes slurs, smears, and grossly offensive material of little or no encyclopedic value, but not mere factual statements, and not "ordinary" incivility, personal attacks or conduct accusations. " It is also for libellous information of nonpublic personal information. As you said on my page, the claims are absurd and unlikely to be taken seriously. I do not feel strongly either way. Revdel might be overkill, but the material generally falls into the area of BLP violations. It would not seem to be an abuse of Revdel to do it. The vandal could have been given another warning, but all I have seen are vandal edits, including posting a fake signature in the MFD. I see no reason to lift the block. Edison (talk) 19:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Given that one has to know how to find the material, and it is facially absurd, I'm going to pass on the revdel. --SPhilbrickT 19:50, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

When you say you sent an email, did you send it to:

permissions-en@wikimedia.org

If so, I'll restore the article, add the OTRS pending template, and someone should tie up the loose ends when they review your email. I can restore the page immediately, but it may take a few days or more for the email to be reviewed.

Yes I have emailed the permissions team as per the instructions on wikipedia.

John Zewizz

I noticed that you left "a request for speedy deletion non notable artist" on the John Zewizz Wikipedia page and also a "Not a valid CSD rationale". Zewizz is not a local artist who someone built a fan page for on Wikipedia. He is actually considered one of the founding fathers of "American Industrial music". He has had an extensive career/successful career that dates back to the very early 80's. If that did not come feature this adequately enough in the wiki article please tell me what you are looking for in terms of info. I have a collection of over a 100 magazines that he has been interviewed for, or written about him... so I should be able to back it up (at least I hope so). Please keep the line of communication open. My desire is simply to have the best page possible. Theebradmiller (talk) 20:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Not quite. Someone else (an IP, so I don't know their name) left a request for speedy deletion. I reversed that decision, because the rationale they gave for deletion was not valid. I'm the one saying "don't delete". That said, I only stopped the speedy delete process, and can't guarantee that someone won't try to delete it a different way. If you have material to add that would make it a better article, that would be great.--SPhilbrickT 21:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, great, I actually do, and will. I appreciate your efforts! Cheers! Theebradmiller (talk) 21:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

By the way, I notice that the user who suggested the speedy deletion did 29 similar requests all with in the same two day period - all "industrial artist". He requested a speedy deletion three times for the Old Europa Cafe page. Could this be vandalism, or an actual concerned editor?Theebradmiller (talk) 22:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't realize it was quite that many. I know I reverted several that day, not sure how many, probably not 29. Maybe I should take a look.--SPhilbrickT 22:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I see quite a few. Some were nominated for CSD. I reverted all that I saw. Some were nominated for PROD, which is a different process (although I'm not sure whether the editor knows the difference, as their edit summary refers to speedy deletion in some cases). I'll look into this a bit more.--SPhilbrickT 22:54, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

OK, I checked a few more. None have yet been deleted. In most cases, someone either simply declined the speedy, in some cases, someone converted the speedy to PROD, and in some the speedy was declined with a suggestion to AfD if they still wanted it deleted. Looks like all I checked have been handled correctly.--SPhilbrickT 23:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Your work is appreciated. It's good to know that there are checks and balances in place. Thank you.Theebradmiller (talk) 23:08, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

And I thank you for realizing that there could be others, and bringing it to my attention. And yes, I'm pleased to see that in no case did someone blindly delete it without questioning it. I know it is very easy to get delete happy when there are a lot on the list, and I'm sure it will happen, but this looks like a case where sense prevailed.--SPhilbrickT 23:12, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Subsea (tieback)

Hi, Sphilbrick. I see that you've deleted the Tieback (Subsea) page that I was trying to get started. I hadn't realised it was copyrighted material - I copied it from the Tieback disambiguation page. I also removed that paragraph from the disambiguation page, so it probably should have been flagged there first! Anyway, I'm okay to re-word that section. The point is that (a) it's an important use of the word tieback which should be an article, and (b) I'm trying to get some people to come an work on it properly. I thought a stub would be easier for people to edit. Grj23 (talk) 07:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this was just an FYI, or if you expected me to take some action. Please let me know.--SPhilbrickT 16:53, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Lovro and Lilly Matačić Foundation page

Hi, Sphilbrick! You deleted the page I created for Lovro and Lilly Matačić Foundation "because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement". The people from Lovro and Lilly Matačić Foundation (who wrote the texts) asked me to do the page for them, and gave me the permission in a written form that was sent to the e-mail permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Is that all we have to do, or is there something else we could do to avoid deletion of the article once again? Thank you very much for your response. Below you will find the letter with copyright permission.

This should be all you have to do. I'll restore it, add the proper template, and someone will clean up loose ends.--SPhilbrickT 14:45, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

My part is done. The next step is that someone will review the email you sent, confirm it, and add the ticket number, then move the notice to the talk page. However, you should work on adding references to reliable sources, so it isn't deleted for lack of notability.--SPhilbrickT 14:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Just an FYI: since often the OTRS releases we receive aren't usable - either they aren't explicit as the one above or they aren't from the actual copyright holder or for some other reason - if you do restore an article which was deleted as a copyright violation it should be blanked with {{subst:copyvio}} pending actual verification of usable permission.

Howard M. Guttman

Dear SPhilbrick: I just looked at the article on Howard M. Guttman that I moved to the live space last week, and was thrilled to see that it has not been flagged with any issues. Is there a finite time period within which reviewers flag articles, after which they are considered to have passed muster? Do you think the article has been accepted?

I would like to thank you for all the help you gave me and for your patience as I tried to navigate the Wiki system for the first time. I was very fortunate to have made contact with you.

All the best, Dale Dalecorey (talk) 00:09, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Checking some info, will respond in a few minutes.--SPhilbrickT 00:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

That's good news. Many pages are reviewed within minutes of creation, so the fact that you saw nothing after a day is a good sign. New articles that might not get reviewed immediately are on a new pages list. I just looked at the list of articles which have not been looked at, and will get looked at over the next couple weeks. The Guttman article is not on the list, which means someone has looked at it. Nothing is guaranteed, anyone might stumble across it at any time and identify a problem, but it is far less likely now that it has been reviewed. Congratulations.

I notice that it is in no categories. It would help to add a category, if you don't know how, let me know.--SPhilbrickT 00:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

re: RfD of David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez

If you feel strongly about the appropriateness of that redirect, I urge you to weigh in on the RfD discussion in progress. The discussion has only been going for 4 days, however. Closing it prematurely and in the face of, at best, very weak consensus is inappropriate. Please restore the redirect and allow the discussion to run its normal course. Rossami (talk) 01:15, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Looking into this further, I see that the rfd tag was overwritten with a mangled speedy-tag. This is a good example of why it's so important to check a page's history before executing a speedy. When you restore the page, please revert it to the 7 Feb version. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 01:19, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

You have my permission to restore it, if you are worried about wheel warring. I'm not going to restore an idiotic redirect. If there's a problem with people creating an article, salt the title.--SPhilbrickT 01:26, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The best reason to restore it is to troutslap the nominator who deliberately overwrote the correct tag and is attempting to game the system in order to get his/her way. Process is important and that kind of behavior should not be rewarded.
The other reasons for the redirect are weaker but already articulated in the RfD discussion. Briefly, because the redirect preempted the creation/expansion of a non-notable fork and served as a visible sign that no, we really do not want articles on any random pairing of sports players.
I appreciate your understanding. I'll restore and revert it to allow the discussion to finish. Thanks again. Rossami (talk) 01:31, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: Coffee Party Page

Hi, just saw your comments regarding my contributions on the Coffee Party page, my alleged confrontational tone, possibility of being blocked, and invitation to talk.

I'd LOVE to discuss this all with you. However, please first address each and every one of the points I made on the Coffee Party discussion, page, the corresponding edits, the deletion of my edits, the editor who deleted my edits, and the reasons for the deletions. I really don't see how any intelligent discussion of my conduct can be had until you've done so. You do see how that would be fair, don't you?

I don't understand what exactly you find "confrontational," in my tone or conduct. From my perspective your characterization of it as so (and implied threat to ban me) is far more confrontational. I think we can quickly agree on the following: (1) the Coffee Party USA page is edited and protected by persons closely affiliated with the Coffee Party who wish to maintain it solely as a advertisement for the party (in violation of Wikipedia standards) and exclude any opposing view of the organization (2) the "confrontation" you identify consists of my truthful and documented contributions being deleted without reason or discussion, followed by an accusation of me being "confrontational" when I restore them. If you are of a different opinion, please review the entire discussion page, and perform the analysis requested above. Quite frankly, if you're going to go around leaving "friendly" comments on people's comments pages, you might make a stop at Xenophrenic's, criticize his conduct, and threaten to ban him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NeutralityPersonified (talk • contribs) 22:38, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Is this a spoof?--SPhilbrickT 23:49, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

No, it's not a spoof. In fact, I assumed your comment "is this a spoof" was a spoof, in particular, a spoof of the empty, content-free, nonsensical replies I get whenever I add detailed, corroborated information to an article.

You left a comment on my talk page. I assumed it was left in good faith. I explained that if you were going to accuse me of being "confrontational" or threaten to ban me, it would be helpful if you first reviewed the entire editing and discussion pages of the Coffee Party article before jumping to conclusions. In particular, I pointed out that "confrontation" is not something trivial like tone but rather the wholesale dishonesty and unexplained deletions practiced by editors who make no effort to justify their conduct.

I see now that your comment was not left in good faith. In response to my full and fair explanation, you opted for a four-word blow-off of my points. That being the case, please do not leave any more comments on my talk page. They are not welcome and I will treat any further threats from you as harassment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NeutralityPersonified (talk • contribs) 00:20, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the precedent for talk pages, is there a way to see if any links are made to it? Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:00, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Portuguese East Africa and Talk:Portuguese West Africa link to it, but again, both of those underlying pages are now redirects. I can imagine that someone might search for "Portuguese West Africa" (and they would find the redirect), but I can't imagine anyone would search for "Talk:Portuguese West Africa".--SPhilbrickT 16:16, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I was more worried about wikilinks to the pages. Is there a reason those talk redirects exist and the latest one was deleted? Chipmunkdavis (talk) 16:28, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree, if there had been article pages linking to that redirect, I would have reconsidered the deletion. As for why this one, and not the others? A relatively new editor is tagging a number of pages in this category (e.g. redirects of talk pages), and they may not have gotten to those other two. I thought about deleting them myself, but the list of CSD candidates has jumped beyond 100, and is still growing despite a couple dozen deletions I've done recently, so I'm spending all my time depopulating the list.--SPhilbrickT 16:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Go admin. Thanks for the taking the time to explain, appreciated. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 17:02, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for review and AN/I comments

Hi, Sphilbrick! I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your having taken the time to review the kerfuffle over a non-admin closure of an RfC at Right-wing politics, and for the comments you made at AN/I based on that review. Admin Gwen Gale once opined to me that political articles on Wikipedia are "thorny nests of woe", and I try to avoid them for that reason: I indulged myself in participating in this one only because I wanted to learn about the historical and non-U.S. meanings of a word that I thought (incorrectly) I understood perfectly, viz. "liberal". Anyway, people like yourself, who graciously provide an independent view of matters like this RfC closure certainly make the "thorny nests" a bit less thorny, and I'm very grateful for that. Thanks so much for your assistance. Cheers,  – OhioStandard (talk) 20:49, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem. I learned a fair amount reading that exchange, so it was worth the effort. --SPhilbrickT 21:26, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

North High Drama

Why delete North High Drama? I am a student in the program and I don't think this is fair at all. It was time consuming to make that page. Please contact me at <removed>

We prefer to keep Wikipedia discussion on Wikipedia, with some rare exceptions that do not apply in this case. I've responded at your talk page.--SPhilbrickT 23:28, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I understand but...

I have made small edits to the page in the past without logging in. I just made a wiki account today. I was going to focus on fixing the north drama page as soon as I finished the brothers grimm page but it wasn't there. I will remake it. Now, I am not too familiar with how Wiki works but is there any way you can send me what was written on the page? That would help a lot. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanrodri (talk • contribs) 23:40, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Request for help

Thank you for your help. I was in the middle of writing to oversight when you fixed it. Thank you again for your help. Much appreciated. LordVetinari (talk) 13:32, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem, happy to help.--SPhilbrickT 13:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
