AFD for Comparison between Roman and Han Empires

You are invited to join the discussion at [AFD] for Comparison between Roman and Han Empires, since you have participated in the last AFD. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 23:29, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Comparison between Roman and Han Empires. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison between Roman and Han Empires (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your block of User:Zensurfer

Hi there. I commented at AN/I just as you blocked this user. While you're unrequestionably within policy to do so, I'm not certain that this block is necessary at this time. I'll be blunt. Zensurfer is SPA who has been watching and editing the Robert Dickinson article which currently is up for deletion. Zensurfer, at minimum, appears to be close to the subject of that article. The article was vandalized, Zensurfer reverts claiming its on behalf of the subject, then the subject asks for deletion through OTRS. The vandal is blocked, and the AfD currently is unanimous for "delete". As the considerably less guilty party, I'm don't think a block at this time really de-escalates anything (especially if Zensurfer is, or really is close to, the subject of the article. I propose a refactoring the threat and an admonishment on the talk page. Still, as you are within policy, I'll respect your decision either way. Take care, Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 23:44, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nonetheless, Zensurfer still violated NLT. The proper way for such requests for takedowns/deletions is for the subject to contact OTRS, which is noted in the block template. There was no need to threaten to sue editors, if proper procedure had been followed. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 01:11, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Undeniably true. Still, the violation of NLT doesn't require an immediate block in every instance. I guess my position is that this case is more like what envisioned by the unfortunately named essay DOLT in that the position of the wronged party is the one to which we should be most sensitive. I won't badger you about this any further, thanks for listening. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 01:29, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Zensurfer has unambiguously withdrawn his comments on his talk page. I'm willing to unblock him, but I wanted to discuss it with you. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 14:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to go ahead an unblock him. I see no protection to the wiki through this block; it undeniably escalates the situation, and the legal threat has been withdrawn. As the OTRS agent handling the case, I'll take responsibility for my action in unblocking. - Philippe 16:40, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with unblocking, as long as they retract/strike out the legal threats. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 17:34, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Einy Shah

Hi, I wish to contest the deletion of the article of 'Einy Shah'. I was told by someone called Kyle that there should be more links from ind newspapers or magazines. And, that it should be about the subject more. I done this. I posted support links and references from a London based newspaper of which Einy Shah & team were featured. A full BBC feature on their website. And a feature from a gossip magazine.

I do think Einy Shah is a noteable enough person and part of the reason creating the page was because of high demand. I've also created pages for 3 other journalists in the same group. There pages are fine, it's only this one causing any trouble.

Would approeciate it of you could advise me on how to retrieve this page.

Can you stop User:Pmanderson's personal attacks?

see here. and here. There are also earlier examples, but this one is over the edge. He has no respect for his fellow editors.Teeninvestor (talk) 23:42, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I feel the Comparison between Roman and Han Empires AFD should have been closed as No consensus, but the current action amounts to a de facto delete. Please take a look.Teeninvestor (talk) 16:33, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The second AFD of Comparison between Roman and Han Empires, resulted in the article being stubbified and the contents moved to Wikipedia:Article Incubator:Comparison between Roman and Han Empires. You are welcome to make suggestions at the article in the incubator. If your concerns are meet, and you believe the article is ready for mainspace, please sign here [1], or contact User:Spartaz, the closing admin. Thank you.Teeninvestor (talk) 20:02, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to seek your input at the article incubator's RFC.Teeninvestor (talk) 15:13, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Patar knight - please don't remove {{uncatstub}} templates from articles only categorised as stubs, as you did here unless you are adding permanent categories to them! Articles need to be categorised in permanent categories, not just cleanup and stub categories, which is why {{uncatstub}} exists. As the template says, "This article is uncategorized. Please help improve this article by adding it to one or more categories, in addition to a stub category." (my emphasis.) Grutness...wha? 23:55, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Indef block of User:FreemanOnline

Hello, you blocked this user, citing a username policy breach. Please justify why this is a breach of the username policy. It certainly could be a standard username, "Freeman" is a common last name. The user has no contributions to act as evidence for bad faith, so could you please clarify why the user should remain indef blocked? Thank you, The UserboxerComplain/ubx 03:34, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If the user page was promotional material for [2], then the wrong user block template was used, which confused me, so please forgive my ignorance on that. The UserboxerComplain/ubx 03:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
