Broken Link on [1]
Hi Ahecht,
I’m a big fan of your site! I found a broken link the other day and wanted to let you know about it. The page where the link appears is [2] and the anchor text is [3]. The broken URL is [4]. I found a similar page that even has a link from Wikipedia if you want to update the link. [5]
Keep up the excellent work! Thanks! ciboy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theciboy (talk • contribs) 13:34, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of Ultra College
Hi, I think you may have put the speedy deletion warning message on the wrong user account - I only tagged and reviewed the page - I didn't write it (or copy it in this case). I have moved your warning over to the user who created the page, and 'wrote' the text - User:D.S.K.LENA. Legendiii (talk) 20:33, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Legendiii: Sorry, my speedy deletion nomination crossed paths with your move, and Twinkle must've gotten confused. Thanks for moving it. --Ahecht (TALK

Hi Ahecht. It certainly looks like a copyvio - do you know where from? I haven't been able to find it. (ps: he would pass notability as a Rajya Sabha member.) Peter in Australia --Shirt58 (talk) 05:20, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Adhik Shirodkar
Hello Ahecht. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Adhik Shirodkar, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: No source for infringement given. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 07:27, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

TJK socks
Hey - I understand both your revert and the comment. My purpose in reverting everything that Jin does is to frustrate him to the point that he'll be willing to work as a part of Wikipedia, not ignoring anything other than what he wants to do. Any edit of his that I revert, please feel free to return it as one of your edits. But if it's from a TJK sock or IP, I will be reverting everything he does. Ravensfire (talk) 18:17, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Ravensfire: Be careful that your vendetta against this user doesn't result in unconstructive edits. Reverting good edits because you feel the IP is associated with a particular editor could be considered harassment and seems like disrupting Wikipedia to make a point. There are procedures in place for dealing with abuse of sockpuppet accounts and ban/block avoidance. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 18:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)- I assure you I only revert edits that I'm sure are from Jin. He's got a very, very consistent IP range that 95% of the edits are from just him. It's too big for a range block though. If you want to see the scope, look at their SPI page. Ravensfire (talk) 18:38, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
The meager stub you decided to bring to AFD has been markedly expanded and sourced. Yes, the sources are all in Italian, but that does not matter for where film notability is concerned. What does matter for determining topic notability, even for unsourced stubs, is WP:NRVE. Might you consider returning to the discussion and withdrawing your objections?

I'm contacting you because of your involvement in the Media Viewer RfC. I understand that this is a bit awkward since the RfC has closed with consensus, but I have been tasked with helping the Multimedia team run a study to gather more feedback about Media Viewer preferences.

Replaceable fair use File:Quantum of the Seas Exterior from 4-16-2013 keynote.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/32px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Quantum of the Seas Exterior from 4-16-2013 keynote.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 13:32, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Appalachian Mountain Club Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 10:02, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Messengers from the Sexual Frontier
Please explain to me why Shitting Glitter is able to have a page on Wikipedia and Messengers from the Sexual Frontier is not. All I want to know is why... not trying to pick a fight, just want to have a conversation about it...
BeforeTheirTime (talk) 18:08, 5 September 2014 (UTC) BeforeTheirTime
- @BeforeTheirTime: The Shitting Glitter article is borderline, but it at least has references to reliable sources, and the Messengers from the Sexual Frontier didn't. Please refer to WP:BAND for appropriate assertions of notability, and note that any assertions about notability must be backed up significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Those three terms (significant coverage, reliable sources, and independent of the subject) have specific meaning on Wikipedia, which you can find out more about by clicking on them. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht.. So if I can dig up articles and other sources that are credible you will consider undeleting it? It took me a long time to dig up all of that info, and one of it's founding members is getting a lot of run right now so the article is kind of relevant and the shitting glitter one mentions having recruited the MFTSF bass player, so if this article can be substantiated further do I have your word that you will reconsider?

Hi Ahecht. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Mark Jeffrey Miller, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. A# CSD criteria do not apply to redirects, which have their own criteria or go through WP:RfD. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers, criteria for speedy deletion, and particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion or proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Thanks!

Page language edits and new user name
Hi I need help correcting language on the Turtle Conservancy page and changing my user name.
Thanks,
Turtle Conservancy (talk) 19:03, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Turtle Conservancy: You can either change your username at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple or simply create a new username and stop using Turtle Conservancy. However, note that just because you have changed your username doesn't mean that you don't have to follow Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policy. A good guide to dealing with a conflict of interest can be found at Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, but the summary is that directly editing articles about your organization is strongly discouraged, and instead you should propose changes on the article's talk page, get editors to review them, discuss any issues, and let others make the changes. While directly editing Turtle Conservancy is discouraged, I would strongly encourage you to contribute to articles related to sea turtles, conservation, or other areas you are knowledgeable about as Wikipedia is always looking for subject-matter experts. Just make sure that your edits don't give the appearance of promoting your specific organization. --Ahecht (TALK

Could you possibly review these articles Cabin (font) Lato (font) Irregularis? Are there any major differences between them and my suggested articles Eyadish or Sherbrooke?
Thank you so much for your highly appreciated cooperation.
Eyadnalsamman (talk) 20:41, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Eyadnalsamman: There's no major difference, other than that I was monitoring new pages and hadn't seen those old ones. Those fonts probably aren't notable either. There are a few minor differences, in that those are open fonts and correctly used the open font template, and those articles weren't obviously created by an author with a conflict of interest (i'm not saying that the author of those articles didn't have a conflict of interest, just that it wasn't obvious), but those don't affect notability.

The Altruism Society (Don't Delete This Page)
The Altruism Society is a real organization and is listed with the Ohio Secretary of State as a Non-Profit Organization. The organizations website is www.altruismsociety.org . The many offices that this organization has throughout the United States and Internationally does many philanthropic and humanitarian initiatives for individuals, families and children world-wide. As a Non-profit organization, It is normal and legal for this organization to raise funding for its products, services, and many causes. Ahect has shown considerable bias, discrimination, and judgement on this organization by stating that it is not real and insinuating that there is something illegal about raising funds through a series of legal fundraising efforts. This organization touches many lives in positive ways and makes a difference in society through its many initiatives. The references such as the Holy Bible don't need any references however, they were provided because these bible verses inspired this organization to make a difference in the world. We have many people who represent us on twitter, facebook, pinterest, and several other social media outlets to raise awareness about hunger, shelters, clean water and a series of other initiatives. The bible does state that charity is of God, and that you should help those who are in need or destitute. God is referenced and mentioned on US Currency, and the government doesn't ask us to prove that God is real or exist. Ahect your remarks were very biased, judgmental, disrespectful, and unprofessional. Why would you want to have a legit organization deleted and silenced that strives to make the world a better place to live in. Please don't misquote the bible they way you did in your response to this article. Just because you have a problem with this article, gives you no reason to mislead others with your biased and negative statements. Please know what you are talking about before you slander this article and organization as if their out to defraud people or the public. You should be ashamed of yourself. Your comments were unwarranted and very immature and ignorant. Giacomo Farmer 19:36, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

- @Giacomofarmer: I don't appreciate you misrepresenting what I said. The doubts about the organization's existence and fundraising efforts expressed at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Altruism_Society were posted by other users, not by me. I never expressed doubts that the Altruism society was real, only that it is not notable (a term that has a specific meaning on Wikipedia). An organization can be real, legal, important, and do great work, and still not be notable per the standards laid out at WP:ORG. I never insinuated anything about the legality of the organization, and I only commented on the references being to your website and to the bible as a shorthand to indicate that there were no sources in the article that specifically establish the notability of your organization (notability, as defined by Wikipedia, involves significant coverage of the organization in reliable sources that are independent of the organization itself). I have no bias against or ill judgement of your organization, but Wikipedia should not be used as a means of promotion or advertising, and my judgement was that at this point, there is not evidence that your organization is notable enough to merit a Wikipedia page (and my nomination will be reviewed by other editors and an administrator before any action is taken). In addition, Wikipedia has a strong conflict of interest policy, and creating and editing articles about organizations you are associated with is strongly discouraged. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahect, you are still being biased by assuming that I have an affiliation with this organization. I have seen the works of this organization hands-on within the community, and decided to write an article about them because of all the good things that they do. Regardless of how you feel and what you said, the comments that were made were biased, judgmental, and unfair. I have no affiliation with this organization and organizations such as this are/and should be notable. To assume that this is an attempt to gain marketing and advertizing benefits is absurd because this organization already has enough of that. However, Wikipedia has a lot of articles that can be brought up in question but, this is not one of them. I don't appreciate your/other editors assumptions, and I wasn't even working on it 30 minutes before these biased judgments and ignorant comments were made. The page is not even done yet, what is wrong with the people at Wikipedia, if this is the professionalism of this organization than maybe I will take my article somewhere else. How dare you. Please don't insult the writers and jouranalist who contribute to this organization, that's not right.

This is Steven Goldstein and you edited a page someone created about me
Hi - I'm Steven Goldstein, associate professor of law and political science at Rutgers University in Newark and the founder of Garden State Equality. I'm being played by Steve Carell in the upcoming movie "Freeheld." I had noticed someone created a Wikipedia page about me that had wrong information. I took it down and instead put up correct information about me - not overboard, believe me, as I know Wikipedia is not for hagiographic press releases - but simply correct information.
In fact, the information I took down, that you or someone else seems to have put back up, overpraises me. It says I'm credited with making New Jersey the first state to have gay unions. No one has ever credited me with that, thank goodness, because New Jersey was not the first state to have same-sex unions of any kind - far from it.
If we can put the correct information back up, I'd be grateful. I list it below - what I had posted. I can source it entirely. If you wish to reach me, I'm at stevengoldstein.email@gmail.com , www.facebook.com/stevengoldstein and mobile (917) 449-8918
Thanks so much, Steven
Steven Goldstein (b. 1962) is a civil rights leader and the founder of New Jersey's statewide organization for LGBT equality, Garden State Equality. He is to be played by Steve Carell in the upcoming film, Freeheld, which chronicles Garden State Equality's grassroots battle, led by Goldstein, to allow dying police officer Lt. Laurel Hester to leave her death benefits to her partner Stacie Andree. The Freeholders, county officials for whom Lt. Hester worked and whose safety she helped to protect, had denied her the right to pass along her benefits as they would have done if she were married to a man. Their resistance came before New Jersey won marriage equality, which, had it been law during the 2005-2006 battle for Lt. Hester, would have left them no choice but to treat Hester and Andree equally. In January 2006, the Freeholders relented, voting to allow Lt. Hester to pass along her death benefits to Andree. Lt. Hester died the next month.
Goldstein led Garden State Equality as Chair and Executive Director from the time he founded the organization in 2004 until 2013. Today he is an associate professor at Rutgers University in Newark, where he holds a joint appointment at the Law School and in the Department of Political Science. He teaches legislative advocacy, civil rights and social justice, and other courses in public law and American politics. He is also Deputy Vice Chair of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee.
In September 2002, Goldstein and Daniel Gross, a couple since 1992, became the first same-sex couple ever to be included in the wedding announcements of The New York Times, marking their wedding in Montreal and civil union in Vermont the next day. In February 2007, they became the first same-sex couple to enter a civil union in New Jersey. In October 2013, Goldstein was the religious officiant at the first same-sex marriage in New Jersey. Goldstein had attended rabbinical school in mid-career, then took leave to lead Garden State Equality and its campaign for marriage equality.
From the time Goldstein founded Garden State Equality, the organization has won campaigns to make New Jersey one of two U.S. states — the other's being California — with a collection of statewide laws that include marriage equality, transgender equality, an anti-school bullying law, paid family leave for same-sex couples and a ban on so-called "reparative therapy" targeting LGBT youth.
Before Garden State Equality, Goldstein was communications director for the late U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), and a counsel for the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, working for then-Congressman, now U.S. Senator, Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Goldstein also won 10 regional Emmy Awards as a television producer.
A native of New York City, Goldstein is a graduate of Brandeis University, Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and Columbia Law School. Goldstein and Gross are longtime residents of Teaneck, New Jersey.

- @StevenGoldsteinNJ:, thanks for contacting me, and thanks for following the Conflict of Interest guidelines and not trying to edit the article directly. I have not been involved with editing that article, I just flagged it as not having sources (which another editor already fixed). You might have better luck posting your change request on the article's talk page at Talk:Steven Goldstein (activist). I'll take a look at the article in a few days if I have time, but note that it is unlikely that any information would be added without a citation to a reliable sources that is independent of the subject. --Ahecht (TALK

info from "Badger skins"
I happened to see your edit summary comment wondering how I got info from a deleted article. It was a sheer accident of coincidence that I happened to do a printout of the article just before it was deleted. I liked it when I first read it, so I "kept a copy". I often do a printout of something online I enjoy reading or want to study without the distraction of blurred vision from computer screen glare. The article Tahash lacked the relevant info re ancient color interpretation that was in the deleted Badger skins article, so I was able to copy and merge the most useful and relevant parts from it into Tahash so they wouldn't be lost. Just wanted to satisfy your curiousity about "how" I got the information from a deleted article. (I'm sure glad I still have a copy.) --Espresso-con-pana (talk) 23:36, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
Your edits have been deleted by Drmies
I'm here following through on "{Help me} request—Something's seriously wrong".
I had just found out that Drmies has reverted all your edits to Tahash, and my edit before yours:
- [1] message [to me] "Drmies has reverted your edit to Tahash".
I immediately accessed the article, auto redirected to Tabernacle, and accessed the "Redirected from Tachash" link back to that article, then accessed the Tachash view history page. Are you aware of these? [6], [7], [8]. Drmies apparently believes I am another sockpuppet. It's incredible that he has included you too. The entire content of the article was deleted shortly after you made edits to it. Nothing you posted seems to indicate that you yourself found anything wrong with the content.
Before the delete and reversion occurred I had already generated hard-copy printouts of "Badger skins" 9/24/2014, last modified on 24 September 2014 at 12:36, 18 pages, with its Talk page last modified 26 September 2014 at 15:15, 6 pages, and "Tahash" 9/27/2014, last modified on 27 September 2014 at 04:58, 7 pages, with its Talk page last modified 26 September 2014 at 19:28 8 pages. I refer to these.
There is something more seriously wrong here than the simple merging of two articles, when the texts of two articles have been wholly deleted ("Burned!"). I don't believe it was an OR issue, since the contents of the most recently edited versions appear to have been previously pruned of all perceived OR, and the remaining text was apparently accepted as adequately sourced, and Debresser edited a minor shortening of only a small portion of the article without recommending deletion of the whole text.
Drmies could have arranged to have me, along with all the sockpuppets of the original Tachash/Tahash article, blocked from editing the most recent version of the Tahash article, and could have made the article corrected and edited by Administrators only and it would still have been available without further interference to readers seeking reliable information. Instead, Wikipedia:Creation protection was applied to totally remove the content. That alone caused me to wonder just exactly what was there in the content of either or both articles "Badger skins" and "Tahash" that Drmies passionately wants to exclude. "Burn it!" is passionate language, and in my own terrified past experience it's hate language.
I don't know what your response will be. My own chosen course of response is outlined in my brief response to FWIW's comments on my Talk page here. I don't intend to submit a protest to the Administators. Don't ask me to go through that. I just wanted you to know that your own edits had been reverted right after you edited the article. Thanks. --Espresso-con-pana (talk) 05:10, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

- @Evar678: On Wikipedia, the word "notability" has a specific meaning, and refers to subjects that have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. A subject can be "important" without being "notable". In the case of this software, which was just released two weeks ago, it appears to be too soon for a Wikipedia article. Without significant coverage from reliable sources, WP:No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability. --Ahecht (TALK

Zoos
Hi, good to meet you. I see you've reverted or removed quite a few number of the {{Zoos}} templates, (EDIT: Nope, I was wrong, my apology, you were working in categories) and I don't understand why. You said on one that the template covering the zoos in the country already cover the topics in the zoo template, but if you look at the template (it is used on all of the zoos of Europe, or most) it is a full well put together template of zoo topics, whereas the other templates only list the names and links to the zoos. Two completely different animals (if I may make a pun). Before you remove more please have a look to see if you may be removing apples and leaving the oranges, or visa versa. I don't know how many you've removed, but please go back and see if a mistake has been made. Maybe I'm the one missing something (EDIT: My powers of observation obviously) but can't think what it could be. Thanks. Randy Kryn 19:27 7 October, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Ahecht, About Catskill Park (Film)
My name is Terence, I'm an intern at The Vladar Company. We are currently updating our Wikipedia pages to include all past and current productions. I know there is not a lot on the page right now, but the film is coming out early next year and we're trying to get the page started. Obviously, detailed plot points, reviews, and dates will follow.
Feel free to message me back with any more Wiki requirements, as I would love to make this work so we don't have dead links stemming from our main Vladar Wiki page.
You can read a small blurb on our site about the upcoming film on our site at: http://vladar.com/productions/catskillpark/
That, combined with the IMDB page (which has links to numerous actors and crew with their own legit IMDB pages), should be enough to make this legitimate, no?
Thanks for the initial message. Once again, would love to hear back to make this page work.

- @Terencebogards: If you work for The Vladar Company you have a conflict of interest and you are very strongly discouraged from editing or creating articles about their films. See WP:NOPR. Instead, to request changes to an article related to your company you may use the article talk pages (visit the article in question—then click the 'talk' button at the top of the page) to suggest changes, or the {{request edit}} template to request edits (see WP:TEAHOUSE if you have questions about these things). If you wish to create a new article about a subject where you have a conflict of interest use the WP:Articles for Creation process instead of creating an article directly. --Ahecht (TALK

RE: Catskill Park (Film)
I understand your worry, and appreciate your desire to keep wikipedia reputable. I will be sure to include more sources (such as links to Variety, Deadline, and other Hollywood sources) in any future posts. I understand the conflict of interest, but I have refrained from posting anything even remotely opinionated and have not posted anything fictional (methods I plan on sticking to, as I have about a 10yr history of using wikipedia, and completely understand what we need to do as a community to keep this site legitimate).
I hope there are no problems left. I will be sure to follow the order in the future.

Request For Re-Review: Greenwich International Film Festival
First of all, I just wanted to thank you for your advice on how to better reflect the coverage and notability of the subject of my article.
I believe that the current re-submission of Draft: Greenwich International Film Festival does more to demonstrate the coverage of the event, and the fact that it is not an event which has not yet occurred – though the major festival is in June, multiple sources cited state that GIFF also hosts year-round events, which it has been doing (note the additional coverage of October 22nd's charity screening, for example.)
Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to improve this article, as I believe that I've resolved the question of whether or not it is too soon.
Thanks again for your help, and overall service to this community.

Hello, discussion about hinduism and ecology
Hello Ahect,
Am Samantha and contributor of the page - hinduism and ecology.
Thank you for editing my page. I have learnt that the article is considerd for deletion. If the wiki norms are sure about this, I have no issues. The same can be done:
However I just wanted to confirm that the article is not a copy paste or an essay. I have written it with lot of care referring to lot of books.
Similarly when it comes to the synth part, I clearly mentioned in the second para of introduction that the article's objective is not to be judgemental and conclusive. It was also mentioned in the third part that further research is needed. If it is needed, I will highlight this aspect of the artcle.
There are couple of books and articles on the concept " hinduism and ecology" but they are more on philosophical level, the emphasis of this article was on practising religion - which too was mentioned in the intro and therefore I chose those associations.
For example, the temple site is built on geographically important locations that have a river, hill and jungle - is accepted my many scholars. So taking this as a thumb rule, if I go ahead and cross check the features of some temples, would it become a synth? I have added those citations only as a proof that, those features exist there or to verify some of the claims I have written about the temple sites.
apart from this, is it not possible to delete only the sections that violate, instead of the whole artcle.

the learning - would be happy if you can tell me more about the copyright violation part of it.

Ohh sorry I thought, it is possible to put the university information on Wikipedia simply.
