I see you deleted Jurickson Profar. You obviously know nothing about baseball, because he is one of the top prospects in all of baseball for the Texas Rangers. He is rank the 12 best prospect in baseball by Baseball America. He is not a "non notable Little League player." He was a notable Little League player who won the first Little League World Series for the island of Curacao with a home run. Now he is ranked the second best shortstop prospect in all of professional baseball only behind Manny Machado by Baseball America. But I look him up on Wiki and I see he was deleted as "non notable." <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.23.95.120|98.23.95.120]] ([[User talk:98.23.95.120|talk]]) 23:37, 24 August 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

You deleted Jurickson Profar. I go to look up the 12th ranked prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America (Jurickson Profar of the Texas Rangers) and it tells me someone deleted him because he is a non notable Little League player. He is one of the best prospects in all of baseball. Do you know much about baseball?

NOINDEX on David S. Rohde
Is there any reason to leave {{NOINDEX}} on Talk:David S. Rohde? You added it in March. Now that the story has broken I can't think of any reason to keep it. Could you remove it please, or at least say you won't object if someone else does? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 23:54, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
non free images
i was under the impression that all photos used in wikipedia were free to use anywhere. i thought that was a precondition to their use? plz explain to me how non free images are used. also, is it ok to upload personally taken photos? EL HOMBRE.. EL MITO...LA LEYENDA (talk) 04:23, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
oh ok now i understand, thanks for clarifying that for me... i just thought my page was being accidently vandalised by a bot EL HOMBRE.. EL MITO...LA LEYENDA (talk) 20:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
More On Non-Free Images; Clarification/Assistance?
Hello RJD -
Two years ago you helped me in my work on an article regarding Bob Shane, one of the founding members of the Kingston Trio, by adding a correctly-formatted template for WP:NFCC for a picture of Shane [1]. As you can see from the page, User:Aspects is disputing the claim of fair use and has slated the image for deletion tomorrow, 7/1/09.
User:Aspects maintains that a personal snapshot of Shane decades past the period of his notability - which is, however, non-copyrighted and free - uploaded and placed on the page by me is sufficient to serve the needs of the article. I have responded both here [2] and on the Talk page with examples here[3].
I have read thoroughly and pondered the ten criteria on WP:NFCC and the fair use section on images here [4].
The regulations surrounding fair use on the pages cited are substantially subjective - e.g., and operatively here, #9 from WP:NFCC - "Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."
Essentially, I maintain that the use of Image:Shane62.jpg meets that criterion; User:Aspects does not. I have considered going here [5] for review. However, before I do so, I would appreciate any input/reaction you might be able to give me, however brief, since image use does in fact seem to be an area in which you have substantial experience. Thanks, Sensei48 (talk) 16:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the prompt response here. Que sera, sera. I think though that the "wiggle room" occurs in the interpretation - and it is just that - of the passage quoted above. The non-free image was intended by me as an addendum, and I'll likely remove it - it serves no central educational purpose to the article.I may be able to upload legitimately a non-copyrighted image that fits the bill. Sensei48 (talk) 17:22, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Question per your offer
"So if you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Please post the OTRS ticket to the extent it does not compromise anyones privacy or put their life at risk. Thanks! Hipocrite (talk) 19:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but I cannot do that. OTRS tickets are confidential and it would be extremely inappropriate for me to release the content of one. - Rjd0060 (talk) 20:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Could you request that whoever submitted it permit its distribution?
- Either way, in the interim, could you describe the relationship of the ticket submitter to the individual kidnapped, and give a brief summary of the rationale used by the submitter for the removal of information? Were you, or other OTRS individuals aware that the individual was, in fact, kidnapped at the time, were you left in the dark, or were you actively misinformed? Hipocrite (talk) 20:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hipocrite, as Rjd0060 has explained, the OTRS ticket is confidential so questions of the sort that you are asking are inappropriate. FloNight♥♥♥ 20:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hipocrite, User:Rjd0060 deserves, and got, a barnstar, not the third degree. Fred Talk 20:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hipocrite, as a matter of policy, it is not a good idea for us to republish OTRS tickets. It is especially not a good idea to do so if the purpose is to find fuel to retrospectively debate a policy decision of this sort. MikeGodwin (talk) 20:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- It is especially not a good idea to facilitate retrospective debate over a policy decision that was made by a small cabal of Wiki elites in contravention of Wiki policy? Why not, exactly?
- Hipocrite, as Rjd0060 has explained, the OTRS ticket is confidential so questions of the sort that you are asking are inappropriate. FloNight♥♥♥ 20:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
64.22.103.251 (talk) 18:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
- Mike, I am not asking this as a result of the policy discussion on Wikipedia. This is a national news story of interest to millions of Americans who are only now finding out that they were misled by the press such that the press could protect one of their own.
- Fred, he offered to answer questions. If he wants to retract that offer, I'll certainly stop asking him and go back to pestering the NYTimes Public Editor, who will hopefully come clean about how many people they lied to in perpetuating this cover-up. I'm not pestering any of the other admins, who I suspect are quite blamless in this self-serving media self-dealing. So, now that that's over...
- Flo, I don't see how my questions are inapropriate. Firstly, the word "confidential" from the OTRS info page on en.wp links to the meta privacy policy. Specifically, that says "The ticket system team may discuss the contents of received mail with other contributors in order to respond effectively." Secondly, it does not guarantee the privacy of the identity of the sender of the mail. Further, putting all of that aside, asking the question is not inapropriate, while answering it might be, because I'm not bound by the privacy policy. Let me try a different question, as this might solve all of the problems.
- Was the OTRS mail sent by Jimmy Donal Wales? Were you misled by Jimmy Donal Wales at any time? I hope we can all agree that the WMF has no duty to keep his coorespondence private. Hipocrite (talk) 20:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hipocrite, you are way out of line here, as already alluded to by another arb and the wiki lawyer. Knock it off. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Again, I am not out of line. Difficult questions are difficult, and if the owner of this talk page wants me to stop, I will, but it's not against any rules or policies or procedures for me to ask embarassing questions, and it's certainly not going to get anyone killed, anymore. Hipocrite (talk) 21:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes really, you are asking him to reveal privileged info and you know better. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Hipocrite (talk) 21:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hipocrite, playing 20 questions to figure out the content of the ticket content seems like it violates the spirit of the OTRS policy that allows people to send anonymous comments and request to the WMF volunteers for processing. The on site actions are present in the article history and speak to the way that the situation was handled with the article. I don't think that the other details are as relevant as you make them appear since the contributors voluntarily made the actions of their own accord. FloNight♥♥♥ 21:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hipocrite, you are way out of line here, as already alluded to by another arb and the wiki lawyer. Knock it off. — Rlevse • Talk • 21:02, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your time, everyone. I got a copy of the ticket from a source. Hipocrite (talk) 21:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- As the author of the email to OTRS in question, I have no problem publishing the full text of it here. I have no idea what Hipocrite is going on about, there was nothing misleading about it, it was the immediate emergency request that I made upon learning of the situation, and it is precisely as has already been explained in the press and elsewhere. I believe Hipocrite is trying to make something out of nothing here and I find his line of questioning, and manner of questioning, extremely rude.
- "Due to an extremely sensitive BLP issue involving grave personal danger, please protect the biography of David Rohde for 3 days. I would do it myself, but having this be done quietly is important, and me doing it would likely raise special notice which would be counter-productive."
- Within a short time after my making the request, Rjd0060 did the protection requested, and either soon after or just before, he and I also had an IRC (I think it was IRC, but I am not sure at the moment) conversation in which I gave him more information, so that he could - on his own - determine what course of action to take.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 21:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- Speaking as a journalist, I'd like to publicly thank Hipocrite for going through the aggravation necessary to obtain that information. Running the gauntlet seen above is unpleasant. Jimmy, note as a logical matter, the event does involve, well, let us say, many statements which make it completely reasonable to be skeptical of other associated statements (I'm trying to put it as politely as possible, but it is a simple fact which shouldn't be denied). -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 00:30, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Undelete request
Hi there, as per IRC conversation could you please undelete 'File:BobbyTaylor and the Vancouvers-01.jpg'? I'll provide a fair use rationale within 7 days or whatever is necessary. Latest version, please.
Thanks a lot! --Echo and I (talk) 03:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks so much!!! --Echo and I (talk) 07:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
IRC
Hey Rjd. I asked on #wikipedia-en about the admin channel, got pointed to Wikipedia:IRC#Pending_requests_for_access_to_channels, and told I had to be cloaked. Where can I read up on that stuff? I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I'm now using Chatzilla since my mIRC timed out. I'm not hugely knowledgeable on the IRC stuff, just want to be able to ask a question here and there at times. Any help would be appreciated ... thx, and Cheers. — Ched : ? 04:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank You

Just wanted to say thanks for all the time you spent helping a n00b (that would be me) Rjd. It's greatly appreciated! — Ched : ? 07:54, 3 July 2009 (UTC) |
Thanks
Thank you for protecting the article Xenu. However, I fear that a longer period of semi-protection may be required, in light of the prior protection logs on the article and the propensity for vandalism to it. Cirt (talk) 13:37, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Question regarding clarifying David Rohde article actions
Hi, speaking as a journalist, could I please ask you for clarification of something you wrote?
"I wish people would stop complaining about Jimmy who really didn't do anything in this situation, contrary to the NYT article who made him out as a "leader" of sorts. I heavily reviewed a request that was received via our email ticket system and I acted on it in a way that I felt was appropriate."
But Jimmy made that request per above, right? Isn't that being a "_leader_ of sorts"?
"We (as in OTRS agents) respond to sensitive queries on a daily basis (though I'll admit none are quite like this one)."
Right, but when it comes from The Co-Founder, isn't that a little different from the day-to-day request? I mean, are you really ever going to act against his directives, much less ever roundfile him with something like Wikipedia-is-not-censored?
General Disclaimer, addressed to all: I know, good intentions, etc., and Jimmy thinks I'm a (insert-personal-attack-here) - I KNOW. Can we all just focus on the material, thank you? -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 05:46, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- I really don't believe it matters who the original request came from. Whoever sent us the request, I would have reviewed it the same and acted as I felt appropriate and/or necessary. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. Now, I cannot argue with your belief _qua_ belief, but I'll note that such belief is not objectively convincing. That is, I'll accept you "really don't believe it matters who the original request came from". But that's not evidence that it doesn't matter who the original request came from. Anyway, do you see how your original statement conveys a very strong impression that Jimmy did not send the initial ticket, and so the _Times_ has misreported the events? If I understand you correctly, you're basing your objection on an interpretation of the word "leader", where a request (ticket) from The Co-Founder does not qualify as "leader of sorts" and means he "really didn't do anything"?
- I'm not interested in pounding you over this relatively minor aspect. That's not why I do journalistic work. But I urge you to look over your comments and see how it could happen that you'd get accused of trying a cover-up (note, I'm NOT accusing you of being part of a cover-up here, I'm saying to be sensitive to a way you could easily be misunderstood in a very negative manner).
- A word of advice - if you're ever asked to do something, well, let's say "controversial", by someone in authority (and let's not pretend Jimmy is some sort of aw-shucks peer), for your own protection, make it very clear who is leading. Because documents get leaked, others talk, and if it comes down to a crunch, those authorities aren't going to take a fall for you. Wikipedia's mythology about being community-run is particularly pernicious here (there are legal reasons for it), and I suspect eventually some naive acolyte will get badly hurt one day. -- Seth Finkelstein (talk) 20:07, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the edit. Apparently Portal:Featured content displays a random featured article with every page load; that's where I noticed the red linked image. —SpaceFlight89 (talk) 14:59, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Commendation
Hello! I hope I don't come across as silly, but I wanted to commend you for the manner in which you disengaged from Juliancolton's RfB. I am certain this was a difficult and sensitive matter, and I wanted to state that I am impressed with the grace you displayed in closing your participation in the discussion. Thank you and be well.

Final vandalism warning?
Why did you leave a final vandalism warning on my talk page? I've committed no vandalism that I'm aware of, nor have I received any previous lower level warnings from your or anyone, so I'm wondering if this was an error. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Uncommunicative editors
Ya know Rjd. There's at least 3 such editors are know of, who are limited to corresponding with others. 2 of them frequent NHL articles: 1 is the Sniyer guy & the other (I won't say his name) is a big fan of & concentrates mainly on the Philadelphia Flyers & ralated articles. GoodDay (talk) 23:15, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Hudler
When Hudler signed had signed the contract with Dynamo, he had previously filled for salary arbitration, therefore making him still a property of the Red Wings. He is obliged to play in the NHL next season. NHL has approached the IIHF to intervene. So until the whole case is solved, please do not change the information. Norum (talk) 08:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
Detroit Red Wings 2009-10 Season
I noticed you changed the format of the table I had placed with the preseason schedule and placed the edit note as consistency with the table. If you look at the other NHL season pages, that is the format on all the pages. If I missed the consensus in WP:Hockey I apologize, but I was following the format set on the other pages. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 08:21, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Restore on article on James Roberts, Jr
Thanks for the speedy restoration.
Much of the information comes from personal memory, but there are also online sources which aren't directly linked to downstream from Mr Roberts. I should be able to dig up some references from Black Belt Magazine as they are starting to bring some of their history pages online. Many thanks again, Thardman22 (talk) 06:29, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

IRC cloak
The toolserver tool for requesting IRC cloaks seems to be dead. How do I go about getting an IRC cloak? Happy‑melon 19:41, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
At User talk:0kmck4gmja, you have just deleted 678(!) edits. I object to this. The talkpage history is indeed relevant to reconstruct article histories, and the talkpage contributions are not owned by the user in question but by whoever made them. I also object to the obscurantist practice of hiding pages under titles like "0kmck4gmja", this isn't above-the-board. I see no reason for this deletion, as any edits made by any editor are irrevocably released under the GFDL. User talk histories are often relevant in reconstructing the history of content debates. --dab (𒁳) 14:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I am aware of WP:RTV, which explicitly states it's best to not delete user talk pages on request. I apologize for implying you moved the user to 0kmck4gmja. This was apparently the user's own attempt at obfuscation, not yours. I still object to the deletion, and talking down to me isn't going to change anything. Judging from the talkpage history, this is a case of IRC-admining, to the effect that administrative decisions have been made that cannot be traced on-wiki. It is also not a big deal and I am not going to go on a crusade over it. I have simply told you, as my fellow-admin, that I object to a decision of yours. I don't expect you to jump to attention but I do expect you to take due notice. --dab (𒁳) 16:02, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination
Hello, I was wondering if you could temporarily semi-protect the article Sonia Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination over the next twenty-four hours. There is likely to be random IP vandalism, and is expected to be a high visibilty article as the event progresses in just a short time from now. I didn't want to add this to the Requests for protection page as I've been declined once before for something like this, and it ends up being vandalised to hell and back until hours after the event is already over, and a lock is finally added. (Shaheen Jafargholi's article was a prime example during the MJ funeral.) Anyway, sorry if it seems random that I contacted you, you were the first administrator I saw on the Requests page. Any help will be extremely helpful in managing the article, when the time comes. Gage (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
- I am extremely familiar with the policy, thanks though. But, seeing as you seemed to be more accesible than the delayed response on the part of the RFPP volunteers as a whole, contacting you here would probably be better if it gets out of hand, which is almost certain. I hope you don't mind, as it would, again, be extremely helpful. Gage (talk) 15:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Why was I deleted?
I am "Steven Pederson" the subject of an article you deleted. (Yes, I realize *I* was not deleted, an article on me was deleted. However it does feel a bit like being srubbed into non-existence.)
The article wasn't a vanity article--I didn't create it, it was reasonably sourced, and I made it a point to leave it alone (resisting the temptation to update it and make it a vanity piece--my subsequent ventures have not been the source of independent coverage.)
I'm not any sort of member of the wikipedia community--have done no more than correct an few inaccuracies (unrelated to this), never before even needed an account. From what I can divine, the reason for deletion was so obvious that it didn't need to be explained. Well maybe to insiders. As a mere mortal who simply uses wikipedia as an information source... breaking all the links stands out as a red flag.
As I write this I realize that coherence to outsiders is a general issue, and you're just probably just one editor, not a spokesperson for the organization. But you DID delete the article so you're the touch point for wondering why....
Interestingly, the deletion didn't even make it into deletionpedia. Talk about ground into insignificance. ;)

Strange that you removed the network protocol uFDEX as it's a real system used in many applications.

It's a well-known "fact" that he changed his name (as did many other musicians on converting to Islam in the '50s, 60s and 70s) and I'm sincerely worried that the Wikipedia Foundation is being hoodwinked over this matter - not by Jamal himself, but by his close collaborators. Do you know if the evidence submitted via OTRS been taken at face value or has the Foundation itself accessed the public records?

Knee-jerk reversion
Please exercise care when performing a blind revert, as you did here. Not doing so will undo not only changes you find problematic, but also the valid changes made during that same edit. It's an easy mistake to make; one that will happen less frequently with experience. You can find more information at WP:Revert. With regards to your comment on my talk page, thank you for the link to the WP:BLP section on relatively unknown people. I do not see how that applies to the 3 sources listed in the Lewy article; perhaps you could elaborate? If you choose to do so, it would probably be advantageous to respond on the article talk page in case other editors are interested. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 19:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Rjd0060 -
- You came to my talk page to advise me on the fundamentals of BLP, a category of articles I have specialized in since I began editing Wikipedia. Bad form. You then reverted content you considered negative, while claiming you didn't see the 3 high quality sources to which it was cited. Possibly an oversight on your part; possibly willful negligence. During that revert, you also deleted other content without any explanation at all. Bad form. When I asked you to elaborate on your reasoning for the deletion of sourced content, you responded not with your reasons, but with further incivility: your blatant disregard to the BLP policy is appalling; I see that you're not interested in logical discussion; [you are] ignoring one of the most important policies that we have. On top of all that, you inform me you are OTRS, and therefore I "clearly don't know the full story". Wait, is this the same OTRS described in the opening paragraph as comprised of "Volunteers trusted to give courteous and helpful responses?"
- Here's the full story, Rjd0060. I hate drama, but you have pushed too many buttons here. I am one step away from taking this situation to the noticeboards for review. I am requesting that you strike your comments from my talk page, and I am re-requesting that you elaborate on your objections to the 3 (now 4) sources cited for the content in the Lewy BLP. Please take this opportunity to return this to a cooperative effort, instead of an adversarial one. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
- You are correct your assessment that my edit summaries could have been a little more ... let's say, constructive. Let's see if we can resolve this to everyone's satisfaction. Xenophrenic (talk) 21:09, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Chugworth Academy Deletion
"A small web comic with no significance" seems pretty harsh, considering that at its height it received 50,000 unique hits a day and a nationally licensed book from a legit publisher. http://us.macmillan.com/chugworthacademyvol1 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/chugworth.com
Just check its max trends, it remained in Alexa's top 100,000 for the portion of its lifespan while it did update.
Now admittedly, the comic has been in remission, but it seems like the proposed deletion was right before it started up with new updates, and so no one was paying attention to the article, but lacking in updates is not uncommon to web comics. It seems at the very least that the grounds for deletion are erroneous, as the comic had quite a large reader base and some significance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.2.228.8 (talk) 22:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

This article is one you salted a little over a year ago -- would you consider removing the protection? (The subject is the guy who plays the pirate in the FreeCreditReport.com commercials.) I'm not sure about notability -- it's a singing pirate, after all -- but since the article was salted (and since the last deletion review) there have been reliable sources reporting on the subject. (See [7]). It may be worth opening it up to see if anyone writes a usable article.
My primary concern is that if we leave something salted that long, a subject that was not notable under the guidelines can become notable -- but we won't get an article about it because rank and file editors won't be interested in navigating deletion review or unprotection. Unless we really need to leave this salted to avoid disruption, I think we should try to open it up to see whether the subject has become notable. Thoughts? --TheOtherBob 16:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you deleted this along with Hash'ak'gik which redirected there. I am not sure what these originally looked like, but while it probably did not deserve an individual article since it was not the main character of these games, they could both redirect too List of Legacy of Kain characters#Hash'ak'gik which describes the guy. Would it be okay to restore these and change them to redirect there? Also I am wondering, whatever content was originally at this article, would it be possible to find an archive to see if any could be incorporated and merged into his description on the LoK character list page? Sarafan Lord, Hylden General & Dark Entity are other terms for the same character which I hope can also be directed there, since they were not previously deleted I figure they might be recent additions.

Hi Ryan. I've recently prepared the "List of psychedelic rock artists" which is fully referenced. And, I am so willing to create the page, all is ready. But Wikipedia suggests me to talk to you before recreating the page since it was deleted by you earlier. Can I get what your opinion? I have references listed in the article for each artist, over 120, I don't see any reason not to create the list page since it's fully referenced. I am aware some bands don't fall in a specific genre, and if there are such bands in the list that I've already prepared we could put them under discussion.

Hey Rjd, can I ask you to have a look at the talk page of this article and the (old) conversation about the birth name issue? Is it correct that the real birth name (for which there are ample sources--see the history, or Google Books) is not to be used? Please answer on the talk page, for future reference. Thanks, Dr Aaij (talk) 02:05, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Permission to make a Final Destination 5 Page

Hi, this is about you deleting the Lance Bouma page. I understand that he is not yet a professional player, but he is the Vancouver Giants captain, and has served the team for 5 years. I think he still deserves a page! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Batgrenade1 (talk • contribs) 18:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Heemraad
Hi, I am recreating the Heemraad page which you previously deleted. Since the Dutch have a peculiar form of government with a separate shadow government for their struggle against water, I think it is important to have pages for these low government positions. It may seem silly, but it is necessary to distinguish them from the regular government officials. To sum it up, the government bodies today in order of rank are 1) National, 2) Provincial, 3) Municipal, and 4) Water boards. In medieval times and earlier however, the water boards were the same as municipal, and since it was a country of duchies, this was also the highest form of government.

Came to Rjd0060's page in pursuit of another deletion of his. Upon reflection, I thought the deletion (that I wanted reversed) was technically "correct" but improperly implemented. So too with Heemraad: the material should be rolled into Water board (The Netherlands), and "Heemraad" should redirect there (likely with an anchor). 24.130.67.253 (talk) 05:11, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
MIA?
Hi Rjd0060! Long time, no see, hear or spot :) I was just wondering how you are, since some of the crew on freenode including myself have started to notice you're missing in action as it were. Don't worry if you can't spend much time around, I understand "busy" very well, but as long as you're ok, that's good. Come back soon, dude :) BarkingFish 23:43, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

IRC chat
Hello, there is an upcoming, very informal discussion on IRC on the freenode channel ##chzzalpha connect (quick webchat link) on the 6th March 2011 at 17:00 UTC concerning ways to improve help over IRC, and other matters relating to Wiki?edia channels in general, but mostly about #wikipedia-en-help.
This is just a friendly, informal chat. Nothing official, no fixed agenda. There is nothing 'secretive' about it - anyone is quite welcome. Some of you had a chat there, the other day. We wanted to invite them to carry on discussions, at a prearranged time - and thought it courteous to ask group contacts and channel founders too. Or if you signed up manually.
If you aren't at all interested, feel free to remove yourself from the names we've spammed this to, which is in User:123Hedgehog456/IRC informal chat users. If you didn't sign up, well, people have been adding loads of names to the list, so someone might have accidentally added your name.
Thank you, Chzz ► and 123Hedgehog456 19:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC).

Pentex
Hi, I hit a link: http://www.metafilter.com/70493/Monsanto-Milk which, in mentioning "Pentex" linked to the Wikipedia entry for that topic. I see you deleted it. As I mentioned above (RE "Heemraad") it seems to me that although the subject doesn't merit its own entry, the content of the old Pentex entry, if still available, would more-properly be rolled into Technocracy_(Mage:_The_Ascension) (which also relied upon a link to "Pentex" for completeness) than simply erased. 24.130.67.253 (talk) 23:44, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi - I see you deleted this page because of an expired prod. This musician is a member of multiple notable bands - I'm not sure if they were in 2008 or not, but can you possibly restore the article that was deleted, if there was anything meaningful there? Thanks. PermanentVacay (talk) 05:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Tony Anthony (evangelist) (deleted page)
Hi, I note you had a role in deleting this page. I'm currently trying to put together a picture of the claims made by Anthony which may be fraudulent. If you can help in any way, please respond on my talk page, thanks!EutychusFr (talk) 18:52, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Jurickson Profar (deleted) I see you deleted Jurickson Profar. You obviously know nothing about baseball, because he is one of the top prospects in all of baseball for the Texas Rangers. He is rank the 12 best prospect in baseball by Baseball America. He is not a "non notable Little League player." He was a notable Little League player who won the first Little League World Series for the island of Curacao with a home run. Now he is ranked the second best shortstop prospect in all of professional baseball only behind Manny Machado by Baseball America. But I look him up on Wiki and I see he was deleted as "non notable." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.23.95.120 (talk) 23:37, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
i noticed in 2008 u deleted the page of Potti the legendary and probably best counter-strike player of all time. you sir, are an idiot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gotham12 (talk • contribs) 13:33, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
DELETED
You also deleted on 00:02, 26 October 2008 a page dedicated to Nelson Montes-Bradley, historian, producer. There are enough references to justify his inclusion in Wikipedia. I would like you to reconsider. Thank You. Sabonarola (talk) 06:49, 20 December 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabonarola (talk • contribs)
Jurickson Profar (deleted)
You deleted Jurickson Profar. I go to look up the 12th ranked prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America (Jurickson Profar of the Texas Rangers) and it tells me someone deleted him because he is a non notable Little League player. He is one of the best prospects in all of baseball. Do you know much about baseball? Shouldn't a baseball expert be making these decisions? http://www.rotohardball.com/2011/7/7/2264150/texas-rangers-jurickson-profar-best-shortstop-prospect-in-baseball http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/texas-rangers/headlines/20110724-rangers-top-10-prospects-report-ss-jurickson-profar-can_t-stay-off-the-bases-this-week.ece http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110414&content_id=17765840&c_id=tex http://dallas.sbnation.com/texas-rangers/2011/7/11/2269607/jurickson-profar-shines-in-futures-games http://dallas.sbnation.com/2011/8/8/2351975/jim-callis-on-jurickson-profars-numbers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.23.95.120 (talk) 23:49, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
