You might want to check your script...

... but all of but one of the links tagged in this edit have been archived already. There's no reason to tag those citations as dead links since the archives still exist. As for the last one, That website is still active, and the link still works. Imzadi 1979 → 01:58, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

00:35:46, 18 June 2015 review of submission by RemedyCanada


RemedyCanada (talk) 00:35, 18 June 2015 (UTC) hello, I'm new to this I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Consensus

Per WP:MULTI this discussion is closed and will continue on the discussion where this is relevant. Please do not branch off discussion on multiple talk pages. A simple ping is sufficient. Thank you (t) Josve05a (c) 02:44, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Before you start quoting words like 'conesensus' at me, you might be interested enough to check on the consensus that was decided by the community to actually get rid of the AfC system completely. And you may also like to adopt a less combatitive attitude. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Page scheduled for deletion (nitrous oxide emmisions)

I have made the appropriate changes to meet the copyright standards. I will also continually update this page as more information becomes available as well as making it more appealing i learn how. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamie Thornberry (talk • contribs) 03:41, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

It was still a close paraphrase, and had inappropriate editorializing in an essay style, which in not appropriate in an encyclopedia. (t) Josve05a (c) 03:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

3O

Since I know you're online (because we're talking on IRC of course), mind taking a quick peek at User talk:L235 section 18 and giving a WP:3O if you feel like? Cheers, E. Lee (talk) 23:05, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Deleted artist page

Hello, I am Jordan Hollywood's PR manager. Our article was deleted (Understandably, it was half empty), However I'm here with the artist and management from the label right now ready to fill in the rest of the page. May I ask that you either restore the page or send me the source code so I may fill it out completely.

Thank you Joe Mcneil Jordan Hollywood's PR manager. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Char2000 (talk • contribs) 04:49, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

I am not an administrator and can not delete, undelete, nor see deleted articles. You want to contact the admin you deleted your article at his or her talk page here. (t) Josve05a (c) 15:09, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Request for the Removal of the Page titled as, 'Vikrant Bhargava'

Good Afternoon.

I am a representative of Vikrant Bhargava. I have been monitoring the site for quite a while and after waiting for some of the false information to be rectified. Vikrant Bhargava has requested for the removal of this site.

I've tried, in the process, you've accused me for vandalism. Please could you remove it ASAP. To avoid any dispute.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apple9530 (talk • contribs) 11:40, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello Apple9530.It is true that the subject are allowed n some cercomstances to ask for the deletion of an article about him or her to be deleted, governed by policies. You can not simply "blank" an article, that way will only be reverted. You need to send in an email to info-en-v@wikimedia.org describing in detail what you want and why you want it, remember to send links. I, personally, can not assume you are, or have the permission from the subject to act on his behalf, that's for the email-people (OTRS) to decide. Good luck.
