Rollback?
Hello. Recently I noticed your anti-vandal work on the Zanesville, Ohio article. The easiest way to clean up vandalism and spam is via the rollback tool. If you are willing to abide by the rollbacker rules (see WP:ROLLBACK), I would be more than happy to grant you access to this function. If, after reading WP:ROLLBACK, you promise to follow the rollback rules to the best of your ability, just drop a quick message on my talk page saying as much and I will update your rights. Thanks again for your help in keeping Wikipedia clear of vandalism! — Kralizec! (talk) 03:11, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Your request for rollback
Hi Glenfarclas. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — Kralizec! (talk) 15:55, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Real Aggression
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Real Aggression - a page you tagged - because: decline speedy; fails A7 -- article asserts importance "oldest one Serbian WP band". Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, although I found that to be a statement of fact (and a vague one) rather than a genuine claim of the importance if a band. --Glenfarclas (talk) 23:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Dash is a very important social network in Newcastle that is supported by its local community!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bosswell79 (talk • contribs) 10:09, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
not a newbie by any stretch
- I'm not so sure I agree with that assessment of me, Glen, especially considering the edits I've done under this username in no way represent the edits I've done since I started being a regular on the site in about 2005. I've edited under several logged IP addresses (most of which I no longer remember, so I can't list them here, and they've all been different computers and/or connections over the years so blah to all that) as well as other usernames I lost the passwords for. So although I appreciate you bringing the matter to my attention, I find it basically unwarranted given that my history is much more extensive than the username would lead you to believe.\
- And in that same vein, I assure you I need not be thanked for my contributions. I've been contributing, lurker and not, for quite a few years now! But I appreciate the sentiment; I just don't wanna be taken as a 'newbie'.Kikodawgzzz (talk) 23:16, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 08:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion on Schmooz-a-Palooza
Hi Glen, I think your Twinkle bot is nominating redirect articles for speedy deletion under Criteria A3, even though A3 specifically excludes redirect pages. Not sure how Twinkle bot can be corrected on that. More discussion is at Talk:Schmooz-a-Palooza. Thanks Infoman99 (talk) 20:31, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Edit conflict
Sorry about this - no idea how it happened. – ukexpat (talk) 21:57, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Virtualschoolbc
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Virtualschoolbc - a page you tagged - because: A7 clearly excludes schools. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. SoWhy 10:32, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. From the edit as I'd seen it, I thought it was some sort of online business calling itself a school. --Glenfarclas (talk) 10:38, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: T-Pain Presents: Nappy Boy Mixtape Vol. 1
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of T-Pain Presents: Nappy Boy Mixtape Vol. 1 - a page you tagged - because: no valid duplicate article provided. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. SoWhy 10:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- Haha, well, that's because the duplicate got deleted first on on my db-album nomination. --Glenfarclas (talk) 10:49, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Although I declined the speedy deletion tag attached to the above-captioned article, I wanted you to know that I looked into the edit history and specifically noted that none of the information that led to my decision had been provided at the time you tagged the article; the article received a large number of additions/edits after your tag. There was enough notability asserted for me to decline the tag, but none of the assertions had been made when you saw the article and there was little that I saw in the draft you examined that was worth saving. So, you made a good call based on what you saw. I hope this meets with your approval; if you have any questions or problems, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- Not a problem, I tag 'em as I see 'em and you were right to call it as you saw it later. Thanks for the heads-up. --Glenfarclas (talk) 19:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I've declined the speedy deletion for this stub. A quick look online revealed lots of sources, and he appears to be quite notable in Japan. This is not your first declined nomination. Please take a look at WP:IDONTLIKEIT and WP:BEFORE. Bearian (talk) 01:27, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion: A9
Please use care when tagging articles for deletion under the A9 criteria. That is reserved for albums where the artist's article does not exist. In the case of Thug Legacy, there is an article for Spice 1. Other than that, keep up the good work. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 02:05, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- My bad, the revision as I saw it didn't link Spice 1 and I incorrectly assumed its "multi-platinum" claim was pretty much a hoax. But I should have checked harder, so thanks for catching that, redirecting the article, and letting me know. --Glenfarclas (talk) 02:21, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Tre' Newton
this is a perfectly legit article of a starting runningback for Texas, he gets plenty of media coverage as texas is going to a BCS championship, but you probly wouldn't know that You are most likely a loser who thinks he's cool patrolling wikipedia, good job your the PoPo, 5-O Get a life --Jumpman Jordan (talk) 02:52, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
Optipictual Art
Hi, I don't know if I should write here. But I'm trying to write about a new art form--I'm an art student--but Wiki users keep thinking it's an advert even though the artist isn't selling any of her work. She's a local artist and has some really cool displays. What's the best way to get Wikipedia not to think this is an advert?
Thanks! User 24158 (talk) 02:46, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry to bug you again. Just wanted to clarify on the article. There were some news sources written on it, objective publications. It is a new art form but it is recognized. Would Wikipedia not accept it just because it's only a few years old? Also, I see what you're saying about being more objective. I've taken out some extra adjectives.
- User 24158 (talk) 06:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
I responded to your User talk:Thecurran/Archive 2009#Speedy deletion nomination of Terry Buck edit on Bearian's talk page linked to above. Feel free to + your POV.

Note
Hello! I apologize for posting on your talk page, but I do not know if you have the discussion watch listed. Anyway, please note that I am undertaking a significant revision here using sources found on Google Books to add definitions of the characters as well as academic analysis of the concept in general. Thank you. Sincerely, --A NobodyMy talk 18:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
You ROck
When I saw the page, it appeared to be an attack page so I tagged it as such. If it needs a different CSD tag (like the one you added earlier), please revert it to that. Sorry. GSMR (talk) 23:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I thought of that but just picked the more toned-down tag b/c it's going either way. No problem. --Glenfarclas (talk) 23:32, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Regarding the db warning
Hello. I did not contribute in any way to that article. Please withdraw the warning on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing! Unioneagle (talk) 01:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- I added an unreferenced tg to that article, as you can see in the history. (cur) (prev) 20:53, 10 December 2009 Unioneagle (talk | contribs) m (35 bytes) (Added {{unreferenced}} tag to article using Friendly)Unioneagle (talk) 02:04, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- That was a Twinkle blip. It happens when the circumstances are just right. The speedy notice gets posted to the wrong talk page. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 02:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- Taken care of. Sorry about that -- Twinkle had notified you automatically; there must have been some glitch with the page history. --Glenfarclas (talk) 02:09, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Jesse Van Hamont
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Jesse Van Hamont - a page you tagged - because: "played in many popular TV shows" is an assertion of notability. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. ϢereSpielChequers 11:17, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of International Shows
Damn. Knew it. Hi Glenfarclas, thanks for your work patrolling new changes. You left a proposed deletion tag on a page I created. I am just informing you that I accept the proposed deletion tag :) I knew I'd done a completely horrible job. Should have been better. I actually saw a lot many pages internally linking to international shows. So thought why not :) Now I know why not :) I do believe it should be a category than maybe a wikipedia article.Wireless Fidelity Class One (talk 16:59, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Re:Category:Lists of writers by language
Perhaps you fail to understand the English language. Writers by language means by language. Danish Authors means by nationality. Big difference! By your criteria you should also delete all the pages in the Category:Lists of writers by language. I look forward to watching you tell them all that their Category is no longer valid. By the way I really appreciate you wasting my time like this. (Ice Explorer (talk) 21:59, 11 December 2009 (UTC))
- The page is now deleted! You people are the reason why so many are leaving Wikipedia. You didn't even give me time to write a reply on the Talk Page some 10 minutes later! WAKE UP! (Ice Explorer (talk) 22:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC))

Speedy deletion declined: Alexander Filippou
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Alexander Filippou - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. JohnCD (talk) 10:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- It needs translating, and I'll list it at WP:PNT, but professorships at Berlin and Bonn is good enough to avoid A7 and should enough to pass WP:PROF. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:31, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd considered WP:PROF but he doesn't seem to meet the criteria. The closest is criterion 5, "The person holds or has held a named/personal chair appointment or 'Distinguished Professor' appointment at a major institution of higher education and research," but isn't that. At least, not as of 1994, which is when this CV appears to date from. --Glenfarclas (talk) 10:42, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Chris Shar
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Chris Shar - a page you tagged - because: Member/played with bands/artists with articles. PROD or take to AfD if required.

Speedy deletion contested: Al-Farabi's origin
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I contested the speedy deletion of Al-Farabi's origin - a page you tagged - because: Al-Farabi is evidently notable. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Tim Song (talk) 20:59, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, what I had tagged was a page about his "origin" that gave absolutely no indication who he was and did not link to his article. I see it's been redirected to Al-Farabi already, so no worries. --Glenfarclas (talk) 21:03, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome
When I caution editors, or come across an editor who's been recently warned or had an article tagged for speedy deletion, I usually keep an eye on that user's contributions. That's how I saw the edit to your user page. —C.Fred (talk) 21:13, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just FYI: I contested your prod, and suggested merging to Islamic Golden Age instead. LadyofShalott 01:12, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- That's no problem for me, but good luck trying to get that info back into Islamic Golden Age because according to the author "[t]his page was created because Islamists delete the content from the main Islamic Golden Age page." --Glenfarclas (talk) 01:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I have taken your db tag off this article because (since you tagged it, when it just said "is an amateur boxer") a credible claim of importance ("on national team"} has been added, and a quick Google suggests that's not a hoax. Keep up the good work! JohnCD (talk) 15:48, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- No problem, good catch-- Glenfarclas (talk) 15:50, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Just a note re this AFD... I wonder if you might refactor your last comment there? I'm pretty sure the creator of CCC did so in good faith, and the discussion at that AFD has been so polite so far it would be a shame to spoil it (err, not that you're being abusive, but if I were the creator of CCC I woudn't be happy to read that) William M. Connolley (talk) 17:32, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Done. You are right, and although I didn't mean to imply that the creator with bad faith (a POV fork can be created in perfectly good faith), I chose my language wrongly and sounded snide when I didn't mean to. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. --Glenfarclas (talk) 19:16, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Estarlin De Los Santos
I created Estarlin De Los Santos' page because he was one of only three players on the Twins' 40 man roster not to have a page. I plan on making a page for Steven Tolleson next. there is no question they both meet notability guidelines. I'm not sure why you proposed it for speedy deletion.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 19:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I just PRODded it, which anyone including you can remove. But he has never played for the Minnesota Twins, right? just some of their farm teams? If so, then as I said he doesn't seem to meet WP:ATHLETE. You can remove the PROD if you like (ideally while explaining what I'm missing and providing some sources to show his notability), and then if I'm still not satisfied I'll nominate him in WP:AFD. Again, you say he's on the "Twins'" 40-man roster, and the top of the infobox says "Minnesota Twins," but nothing else in the article indicates he ever set foot on the Minnesota Twins' diamond. --Glenfarclas (talk) 20:07, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- I've written tons of articles on minor league players. I have a pretty good idea what does and doesn't meet the guidelines. One guideline is that if they've played in a minor league All star game, that adds to their notability. Also, having been included in a major trade (Deolis Guerra, for example) helps. I'm almost certain that being added to the 40 man roster is in and of itself enough to be considered notable. I know Alex Burnett was on the Minnesota Twins minor league players page, and was given his own page once he was added to the 40 man roster. Anyway, I'm not all that Wiki-savvy, and don't know what that date thing you were talking about is.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 20:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, well I'm not all that baseball-savvy, at least as regards behind-the-scenes trades and so on. So is getting put on the 40-man roster the same thing I would call "getting called up from the minors"? At any rate, if you say he's notable then I'll stand corrected. And you can just remove that whole notice. Go on, do it! --Glenfarclas (talk) 20:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

dePROD - List of Nitrome Limited skins
You PROD2-ed this, and I too agree with the reason given (utterly, boringly non-notable); however, though the newbie author didn't dePROD it, he did write "Oppose. This shouldn't be deleted...

City of St. Louis vs. St. Louis City
In 1876, the City of St. Louis succeeded from St. Louis County. After that, a great deal of tension was created and a city vs. county rivalry ensued. When we locals talk of our Independent City, we say St. Louis City to distinguish from St. Louis County. Yes, City of St. Louis would be just as applicable and more fitting to a national standard, but it doesn't St. Louis City is a standard term if you happen to be from St. Louis (and thus curious to know who your alderman is). Besides, I've been systematically dropping links left and right. Unless there's a bot to change them, I'm not upfor the task. :o) DaronDierkes (talk) 07:37, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Glenfarclas I am Charles Baldwin and just created the article on Multimedia Online, not sure why you flagged it other than I went back and forth through the save page option a few times to correct spelling errors, please don't be hasty and have the articale flagged for deletion as it is accurate.

Hi Glen, thanks for the speedy reply.

Tagging of Susan Crown
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Susan Crown. I do not think that Susan Crown fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because There are multiple claims of significance, such as "a director of Illinois Tool Works[1] and the Northern Trust Corporation", "trustee of the National Resource Defense Council", "chairs the Facilities Committee of Rush University Medical Center", "co-chaired CARE’s national conference", "served for a dozen years on the Yale Corporation and is now a Co-Chair of the Yale Tomorrow Campaign", "Chairman of Steven Spielberg’s Shoah Visual History Foundation, the largest video archive in the world containing the testimony of survivors, rescuers, perpetrators and witnesses of the Holocaust" and several are even supported by references, which is not required to avoid an A7, but helps. Any one of these should be enough not to have an A7 speedy tag placed, and all of them together... Do you really think this is a proper A7 speedy delete? Whatr wopuld happen at an AfD is another thing, of course, the bar is higher there.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Susan Crown for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 20:27, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Richard K. Hulse
Hello Glenfarclas, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Richard K. Hulse - a page you tagged - because: I think there's probably enough for A7, especially if the references provided are focused on him. PROD or take to AFD if required. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. GedUK 17:14, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
Please re-consider your proposed deletion
I ask that you please re-consider your vote and, if possible, deletion case against the Derek Murawski article. All of the facts you used in your post on the deletion page are untrue or invalid. There are millions of viewers for Murawski -- this is confirmed by a reputable major metro publication -- and Google hits are not valid Wikipedia sources. I don't know how you found "172 unique hits" (again, not that it matters, it's not a valid source) but when I search I see "about 654,000." Not saying they're all for him, but are all Chris Crocker hits for him? Britney Spears for her? Please think this over. Iongatherer (talk) 04:22, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Right, if you don't use quotation marks around the name you'll get every page where the names "Derek" and "Murawski" appear, however unconnected. I'm looking at these results. Also, as far as I can tell, ABC Newspapers amounts to the "Anoka County Union, Blaine-Spring Lake Park Life, Coon Rapids Herald, [and] Anoka County Shopper." For a high school kid, getting some coverage in his local town paper isn't bad, but you've got to admit it's not exactly the New York Times. Heck, if the Strib covered him it might be a different story.
- I'll admit he's somewhat more notable than most of the Myspace bands and YouTube kids who try to create articles (we delete as many of those as possible). However, I don't think he's at all notable enough (yet) to pass WP:BIO, or for his videos to pass WP:WEB. I couldn't care less about YouTube celebrities, and yet I've seen Chris Crocker probably a hundred times—now that's notability. Glenfarclas (talk) 05:26, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- Once again, I must point to the article. "High school kid"? Maybe when the article came out, but not now. I think it's kind of... interesting... that because you couldn't care less about YouTube celebrities you have proposed the deletion of the page, ignoring the fact that other people do care. I just hope this well-written article doesn't get deleted/over-looked when there are such trainwrecks as Blaine Hogan running free, sourceless. Iongatherer (talk) 08:35, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
Backflip Studios - declined speedy

Daily Life Practice
Hello Glenfarclas,
This is a copy of text I posted on Mangoe's talk page - and that was my first ever post, so please bear with me....
I am no expert on Daily Life Practice and I know even less about the inner workings of the Wikipedia community. I understand that input from new users is generally ignored when arbitrating on whether or not to delete an article. I can easily imagine cases where this makes sense. Nevertheless, I find it frustrating in this particular case because I know Dr. Sherlock personally and I am familiar with his work.
But perhaps I'm missing the point?
The public high school my daughter attends has a Wikipedia article - and surely it's not the only such school. Over the years Daily Life Practice (also under its earlier designation "Adaptation Practice") has made a tremendous contribution to the lives of more people than the number of children who attend my daughter's school.
Is Wikipedia about information, or is it merely a catalog summarizing YouTube and Google hits?
Verification through valid sources serves the purpose of filtering out disinformation. Perhaps measures other than G-hits should be applied when assessing importance or notability? Otherwise the Internet risks becoming inbred.
Your objection to this article suggests that either you doubt the veracity of the information in it or else you find it insufficiently important. I might find lighthouses and trains utterly uninteresting, but I would never suggest deleting articles about them simply because of my personal attitude.
Thanks for your patience. Featurelessmind (talk) 14:17, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Christina Carrera
You flagged Christina Carrera for deletion. I requested that time be alotted to modify the article and asked for assistance, but instead you just deleted the page. I see numerous pages on here that are senseless. What's up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coutureagency (talk • contribs) 03:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, the deletion (which was done by an admin, not me) was the result of a weeklong deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christina Carrera, as you were notified. If you didn't log in during that week, you wouldn't have been able to contribute, but after you look through the arguments at the AfD page you can explore your options at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Sorry the page got deleted, but I didn't think the actress met Wikipedia's guidelines for notability at WP:ENT. Glenfarclas (talk) 05:29, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion
I didn't remove the tag from a page I made myself, I edited a page in existance. I did not create it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkmacinnis (talk • contribs) 03:45, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- Please review WP:SOCK. I like to WP:AGF, but the likelihood that you randomly came along, created an account two minutes after the article author did, and have done nothing but edit the article to tweak formatting and remove speedy tags, is so vanishingly small that it's really tough to do so. Glenfarclas (talk) 03:50, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- I understand your suspicion, as considering how you described it, it is suspicious, but I simply know the creator of the article, who asked for help with the editing. I read the speedy deletion warning, assumed I was free to delete it as I was not the creator, so I deleted the tag. I apologize for the suspicious activity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkmacinnis (talk • contribs) 03:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not a huge user of Wikipedia, and have never had much interest in editing, but I was asked by my friend to help him with the page, so I created an account for that purpose. I did not think it qualified as a puppet, so I removed the tag. If this assumptions was in error, I will refrain from removing the tag in any later instances of it's appearance. I apologize for any inconvenience. Jkmacinnis (talk) 04:06, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- That's fair enough, and I'll remove the warning from your talk page. However, as to recruiting friends to do things you would like to do, see WP:SOCK#Meatpuppets. For what it's worth, this article has absolutely no chance of staying up, so I'd ask you to ask your friend to replace the article's content with {{db-author}}, an indication that the author would like the page deleted, as a good faith show that he made a mistake. See WP:FIRST to check out starting guidelines for creating your first article; a page stating that your random friend is "jaked" is pretty obviously not suitable for an encyclopedia.

BD ball - speedy deletion replaced with PROD
Hi Glenfarclas. I ended up declining your speedy deletion tag of BD ball, because I felt A1 was not applicable. The article was clearly about a ball sport called "BD ball", which is described in the article. That being said, it clearly is contrary to WP:MADEUP, so I have PROD'd the article. Singularity42 (talk) 21:36, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi I noticed your tag on Evo merchant services this is a real company and so an A1 tag is not really appropriate. Also we are advised not to post A1 or A3 tags within moments of an articles creation.

Proposed Deletion - Dewald v Clinton
I see you have tagged this article for deletion. In principle I do not object to deletion but since it adds to the body of knowledge on 42 USC 652(k) as it pertains to US citizens permanently residing abroad which is otherwise only represented in Risenhoover v Washington it would seem better to improve it so that it meets appropriate standards. These cases are not easy to find, in general, and they are particularly hard to find at the District Court or state court level. If you would be so kind, please be more specific regarding your objections and suggest what, if anything, could be done to improve the article. Thanks. JKJ Moscow (talk) 11:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- Well, it's just that the case is not notable, and there's no way an article can be rewritten to make its subject more notable. Theoretically, any case could be written up and add it would add something to the body of knowledge, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a compendium of all knowledge. This is a pending case with no decision, and as far as I can tell has not been the subject of any legal commentary. So in addition to not being notable, I'm afraid the entire article is original research or synthesis. I can't suggest anything that would improve the article, since as best I can tell it's the topic that is problematic. If you really object to the deletion in any way, you (or anyone) can remove the PROD template from the article, no problem. I would then nominate the article for deletion at Articles for Deletion, where it'll be discussed by others. I appreciate the work you're doing on these legal topics, so if I'm missing anything about the notability of this case please let me know. Glenfarclas (talk) 20:46, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- It's the law (42 USC 652(k)) that is notable as is the current unsettled state of the level of scrutiny required to restrict the right to international travel (see the three way split in Eunique v Powell). To date, every federal court analysis of passport restrictions have turned on entry or exit from the US, e.g. travel. Risenhoover is the only other case that I could find in which a passport was seized or revoked while the citizen was residing abroad with no apparent interest in returning to the US or leaving from it. Risenhoover's complaint(s), while raising some novel ideas, is/are so poorly articulated that the Wisconsin US District Court really had a difficult time piecing together his points. If the Dewald case can be considered notable at all, it is because he presents similar but more cohesive ideas in opposition to the exercise of 42 USC 652(k) against citizens in similar situations. It's not as though this is just another of 10,000 similar arguments. There are only two. And while the US District Court case in Dewald is pending, there are decisions on record in the Michigan Circuit Court that could be cited and are available for download. I can and will add these cites and others but I don't plan to swim upstream against the wiki community. If you feel it important that this article not appear just now, please let me know how to move it to my sandbox and we will just wait for the District Court to rule. I don't need this article for me. I need Apotheker, Aznovorian, Zemel, Kansas v US, and a few others a lot more than I need Dewald. JKJ Moscow (talk) 21:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- I moved the article to User:JKJ Moscow/Dewald v. Clinton. I'll point out, though, that it's not just a matter of waiting for the district court to rule before this becomes notable. Under the relevant guideline, a topic is generally notable if it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." I doubt that'll happen for this case—or maybe it will, who knows—but notability will require more than your own subjective view, however well education, that this is an important case in this area of law. I hope that explains my thinking about this topic.
"Germanocentric" Article Revised and Could Possibly be Merged into "Ethnocentrism", "White Supremacy", or "Nazi Party"
Glen, how about instead of being so quick to consider articles for deletion, consider merging them (See my suggestion for "Germanocentric" in this post's subject.)? Also, every one of the groups listed in the Germanocentric category (as I cited) are listed on the ADL website as White supremacist, Neo-Nazi, and racist skinhead groups. Nickidewbear (talk) 06:09, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
- Two problems: the article is called Germanocentric, which basically cries out to be a WP:DICTDEF, instead of Germanocentrism, which is actually the name of a concept; second, I'm sorry to say I don't think the article contains any material worth merging elsewhere. If the concept of the article is, "Groups criticized for being Germanocentric," it's not a very notable concept, but really this has WP:COATRACK written all over it. I'm sorry to be blunt, but I don't think this patient can be saved, which is why I didn't suggest a transplant operation. Obviously you can remove the PROD if you like, and if you have other ideas for this I'll hear them, but I must also say I don't think this article would survive the inevitable AfD.

Did you even read our article????
You deleted our article on high school student Jason Witt, classifying it as an "attack". I believe you have no basis in making this accusation and I demand that our article be put back up immediately. About our "sockpuppetry", we had no clue we were violating any rules, we only wanted to keep Jason's birthday present up at least until he could see it (which he didn't) and he could know how much he means to us.

CSD tagging of Royall Advertising
Royall Advertising is a somewhat dubious article, but "has won national and international awards" is a claim of significance, with at least an attempt (inadequacy but an attempt) at citation.

Signatures
Glenfarclas, thank you for that information. I did notice that my username was added 'automatically' along with instructions for creating a signature, which at that point seemed extraneous, but I will test my signature chops here. --Eric Solstein (talk) 16:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- To be honest I don't know why they don't change the system so our signatures are always added automatically without the little notice, allowing us to do away with typing tildes, but they haven't. Looks like your signature works! Glenfarclas (talk) 16:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, and I have been leaving extraneous tildes on all my edit summaries, but I'm done with that, and thanks for your assistance. BTW, may I answer your query regarding the Isaac Jin Solstein page - where you ask for better confirmation of his casting and ask why he does not appear in the imdb "Last Airbender" cast list. Well, I can't tell you why he doesn't appear (and I have been told several times by the editors at imdb that they would fix this), but I ask you to note that the fan site which announced Isaac's casting, is the single site that receives regular updates from the films producer, Frank Marshall, and it notes specifically, "We’ve received word from Paramount confirming that young 10-year-old Korean-American actor Isaac Jin Solstein has been cast as ‘Earthbending Boy’ in The Last Airbender." I am adding that specific link to the article presently. Hopefully, this will make a better case for his being cast then a second-hand reference to an unnamed fan site.Eric Solstein (talk) 14:46, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- The article certainly looks better now. As to your questions, well, different people can have different ideas about what constitute reliable sources. I personally think the article from The River Reporter makes a better source than any fan site. The other issue is whether this is a significant part. You say it is, this guy, for instance, calls it "a bit role." Looking at the articles on all the characters at the Last Airbender Wiki, Haru (assuming that's who your son is really playing) has a pretty minimal article compared to almost all the other characters.
- I guess I just find it too early for this article; there's too much we just don't know. Or, rather, you might know it, but we, the rest of the general world, don't yet. The deciding issue for me is that it took Isaac's father, not an unrelated fan, to create his article here. Wikipedia:Autobiography#Creating an article about yourself covers this (writing about your minor son is not technically an autobiography, but the principle stands): "If your life and achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later."
- I definitely appreciate your honesty about your relation to the subject and your willingness to to engage in discussion. I'm going to put a version of this comment on the AfD page suggesting incubation or userfication of the article until his notability in light of WP:ENT becomes more apparent in reliable sources. Thanks for your consideration-- Glenfarclas (talk) 20:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- If, "The deciding issue for me is that it took Isaac's father, not an unrelated fan, to create his article here...." then I must insist you examine the article's history. I most certainly had nothing to do with its creation. Apparently it was created by a Philippine man living in the UK, whom I have never heard of, and would seem exactly the unrelated fan you are looking for. His username is Nemogbr. I only found out about the page from Google Alerts. When I saw how clumsily it had originally been put together, I felt I had to step in. If fan reception counts, than please note I have added an independently produced fan site among the external links. The young lady who started this site is also from the Philippines, and built it on her own volition, then approached me, and we now stay in touch.
- On the subject of how big the part is, I have actually spared you and Wikipedia the information I do have that might settle the matter. Why? Though I have read the actual shooting script, attended the full read-through, and even stood behind the director on the set for the entirety of Isaac's commitment, I am bound under a non-disclosure agreement. The information I shared was all I am permitted to, and I realize it is not authoritative with respect to "reliability," which I accept. However, what The Angry Asian Man, whom you cite says, is informed by absolutely nothing, except his political agenda as it concerns Paramount's choices regarding non-Asian actors. It is in his interest to diminish any contribution made by Asian actors... I guess so he can stay angry. He has never been on set or seen the script, I can assure you. Regarding a comparison of Isaac's supposed part with the cartoon, if one is going to look at the original 20+ hours of animation, which becomes two hours of live action on the screen, they must anticipate significant changes. Imagine if you will, that a single episode (of approximately 22 minutes) from the tv series is incorporated into a two hour film - this will give you a much better sense of the screen time or import of any given character from that episode within the context of the new, much briefer production.
- And, as you have seen, I have put significant effort into providing documentation to take this out of the realm of personal history, original research or opinion. Anyway, I am not here to arm twist, but to provide good information in support of a position I believe to be correct. while I hope you find some of this compelling, let me thank you for all your good effort no matter where you end up. Eric Solstein (talk) 00:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- You're quite right about the article's creator, I fault my memory. As to the size of the role (remember that WP:ENT looks for "significant roles in multiple notable films"), I not saying that I think it's insignificant, or that an AngryAsianMan (whoever he is) has any particular claim to credibility, only that the uncertainty emphasizes that this was created too early. Anyway, I'm sorry to imply that you created the article when you obviously didn't, and I'll take a bit of time to consider my view on the overall issue. Thanks for your reply, Eric. Glenfarclas (talk) 00:52, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Forgive me if I am growing tedious, but perhaps this information, which was part of a comment I placed on AshcroftIleum's talk page might help address the question of "significant roles in multiple notable films," if one may consider theater together with film: The Forestburgh Playhouse is not community theater. It is a Actors Equity playhouse, it employs union talent in all except juvenile roles. And three of the four roles cited for Forestburgh are in fact, major roles: Tam, Gavroche & Prince Chululongkorn are three of the most important juvenile roles in the entire legitimate theater. Let me add, Isaac's most recent role is with the American Repertory Theater (ART), which is one of America's leading theater companies, Diane Paulus being one of the theaters most celebrated new directors.
- And I hope you realize that I entirely appreciate what you are trying to do, and the constraints within which you operate. Eric Solstein (talk) 03:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

As to the size of the role (remember that WP:ENT looks for "significant roles in multiple notable films"), I not saying that I think it's insignificant, or that an AngryAsianMan (whoever he is) has any particular claim to credibility, only that the uncertainty emphasizes that this was created too early. Anyway, I'm sorry to imply that you created the article when you obviously didn't, and I'll take a bit of time to consider my view on the overall issue. Thanks for your reply, Eric.

- Yes, and I have been leaving extraneous tildes on all my edit summaries, but I'm done with that, and thanks for your assistance. BTW, may I answer your query regarding the Isaac Jin Solstein page - where you ask for better confirmation of his casting and ask why he does not appear in the imdb "Last Airbender" cast list. Well, I can't tell you why he doesn't appear (and I have been told several times by the editors at imdb that they would fix this), but I ask you to note that the fan site which announced Isaac's casting, is the single site that receives regular updates from the films producer, Frank Marshall, and it notes specifically, "We’ve received word from Paramount confirming that young 10-year-old Korean-American actor Isaac Jin Solstein has been cast as ‘Earthbending Boy’ in The Last Airbender." I am adding that specific link to the article presently. Hopefully, this will make a better case for his being cast then a second-hand reference to an unnamed fan site.Eric Solstein (talk) 14:46, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

wtf?

Do you play warcraft 3?
Tell me the difference between Dota and Enfo's you haven't answered my question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EricyCPSC1000 (talk • contribs) 11:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- Please read WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. This is like arguing to a cop that you shouldn't get a speeding ticket because the car ahead of you was going just as fast but didn't get pulled over. I don't know what else to tell you, really; read WP:N and its subpages, and WP:V and WP:RS. You're just not very close to meeting them, I'm sorry. Anyway, the reason I tagged your article was because you recreated material that had been deleted moments before by an admin, and did so under a slightly different name so it wouldn't show up on their watchlist. Don't do that. Glenfarclas (talk) 11:16, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
