Just in case anyone wants to talk to me.... Peridon (talk) 20:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rest of this is archived somewhere. There's a nice little bot comes in and tidies up. (Could do with one at home...) A very kind person has organised an archive box that even has a search bar in it. (No beer, though....)

PLEASE ADD MESSAGES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE SO THAT I WILL SEE THEM. I LOOK THERE FIRST. Post at the top and you risk being missed altogether. Thanks. Do put a heading inside == == and sign with ~~~~. If you don't get a reply from me (or one of the stalkers...) within a reasonable time, you've probably not read this. If you have read it and ignored it, it's your own fault. If you haven't read it, READ IT NOW. Another reason to post at the bottom is that if you post at the top and someone else posts at the bottom, I'll see their message, but won't suspect there's another. Up to you. Ignore this if you want. Just don't blame me.

Actually, I don't like raisins, but do like grapes. Peridon (talk) 18:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC) I like this message.[reply]

Countly - Speedy Deletion

Hi Poseidon, may I ask why Countly was nominated as a speedy deletion where I was an author of this subject? Thanks, Gorkemcetin74 (talk) 19:20, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because it was a leftover redirect from a move to Draft - Draft:Count.ly to be precise. It was obviously not reckoned to be ready for article space, but I wasn't involved there. Just tidying up. Peridon (talk) 20:18, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But before then it was a real article. Can you elaborate? Gorkemcetin74 (talk) 04:55, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not really. It was moved by the original author, who then requested deletion of the redirect. Nothing controversial there. If you object to the move, take it up with the original author. Peridon (talk) 09:52, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Original author jinlizzy is not a user? When I click on that name, it's not there anymore. Gorkemcetin74 (talk) 20:22, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely a user. Just doesn't have a user page. It's not compulsory. In the 'tools' section at the left of the page (when you have clicked on User:Jinlizzy), you will see 'User contributions'. That is only there for actual users. It's not there on User:ToastMyButterfly because that one isn't a real user. Click it and you'll see the difference. Peridon (talk) 17:11, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, got it. The point is, I also made considerable additions to this article, almost on par with his contributions (check: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Draft:Count.ly&action=history). So do not really want this article to be removed. Is it possible to recover?
The article hasn't been removed. If it had been deleted, I could put it into user space, but it's not deleted and so can't be 'recovered'. It's there in Draft space where you have linked, and your contributions are still there in the History. I assume they're in the draft. I'd suggest liaising with Jinlizzy about its future. There's nothing I can do about it. The redirect that I deleted was a cross space redirect, and we don't have redirects from article space to Draft space.

Francis Sultana

Hello I was told to let you know when I was ready to resubmit this, so here we are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LittleGold/Francis_Sultana - thank you so much :) (LittleGold (talk) 21:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC))[reply]

I would think there's enough there to pass A7 with WTL and the Rob Report coupled with the assumption by Harper's and the Tatler that people know who he is. (Harper's and Tatler are a world I wouldn't want to be in even if I had the money, but everyone to their own taste...). You could ask User:MelanieN for another viewpoint. BTW when linking to a Wikipedia page, just put the title of the page in pairs of double square brackets, like this [[User:LittleGold/Francis_Sultana]] which will come up as User:LittleGold/Francis_Sultana on the page.

Hi

sorry I assumed by the name it was vandalism and I didn't get the reference Saturn star (talk) 20:58, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Err... Can I have a clue? Peridon (talk) 21:38, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Got it. I thought it was too, but I either flicked through the article or Googled the term. As it is, I think it's OK. Had it been a redir to the country, it would have been vandalism - unless it was mentioned there (which I gravely doubt). I drop lots of odd things into Google, and it's amazing what floats up.

Hello

Can you please explain why you deleted the Jim Vejvoda page without any discussion on the talk page about our arguments of his notability? Thanks. SuperCarnivore591 (talk) 22:40, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Jim Vejvoda

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Jim Vejvoda. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. SuperCarnivore591 (talk) 22:47, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Royal amps deletion

Hello. This is probably not the right place for this but being that I recently created an account at Wikipedia, I am not sure where else to go. I see that you deleted the page that was created from Royal amplifiers. I thought all guidelines were followed and we did note references regarding the history and creation of the company. Can you explain why it was deleted? Thank you. Boleskine1959 (talk) 17:49, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A few points - the first not being to do with the deletion. When you put a space at the start of a line, it makes the text go funny, If you do need a space (as with this post, in order to separate mine from yours), put a : (or more depending on how far you need to go) at the start. OK. You build amps. I say 'you' because of an 'our' in the article - something that usually triggers a deletion for advertising or promotion. Your company may or may not pass our notability policy (speedy deletion talks about the lower level 'significance', but there's no point in aiming lower than notable) which is at WP:CORP. Claims to notability must be backed with reliable independent sources WP:RS, and I'm afraid that your own site is not independent. Forums, wikis, blogs, YouTube etc, Facebook etc, CrunchBase, AboutUs, last.fm etc, and blogspot or wordpress pages are not considered as reliable and independent. I'm not one of those that tries to stop people editing about things they are close to, but I do advise reading WP:COI about conflict of interest. That's the supposed conflict between your assumed desire to help build the encyclopaedia, and your suspected desire to promote your business (or religion, underwater crochet club, or whatever). I only noted one slip, though. Neutrality was good, but notability was not. Have a think and do some Googling. I can restore the article into your user space if you want to use it as a base for another attempt. Do remember that not every business (or rapper, or hamster, or politician etc) gets an article. This is unlike Facebook, where people can promote the beauty of their cat, or advertise their new line of farmyard perfumed candles. Do also remember that notability doesn't rub off from notable people onto others around them. It's a matter of coverage not contact. Feel free to ask questions.

Some baklava for you!

Brother,

Can you help me in creating page of a India based Leather brand "Mayborne Leather"

I am new here and does not know much about how to use, whatever I write gets deleted. while people from USA writes even a unknown article with no meaning and it stays.

Kind peridon, help me and guide me. Nawaab Sahaab (talk) 07:32, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
