Edit war?
I reverted one edit. Check the history. It's bold, revert, discuss; not bold, revert, accuse of edit war and revert, discuss. I'm going to restore the article to its original state, then it's his turn to take his proposed changes to the talk page. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:11, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Can you speedy delete Turkish History Institute? Sorry about that. --Kansas Bear (talk) 06:31, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- I can't actually delete the page, as I'm not an admin, but I can put a template on there for you. Better yet, put the {{db-author}} template on the page letting an admin know you're requesting an article deletion and it'll generally get done faster. -- Ryankiefer (talk) 06:37, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Limited Appeal Records
Hello Ryankiefer, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Limited Appeal Records, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: claims to have released albums by notable bands. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. SoWhy 18:31, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for letting me know, I'll tag the article for cleanup appropriately then. -- Ryankiefer (talk) 18:33, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. You might want my essay at WP:A7M which outlines a number of common claims in articles that allow an article to pass the standard of A7. Regards SoWhy 18:37, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've tagged the article as of right now with PROD since it didn't quite fit into {db-a7}. It's clear this article does have many issues, including most importantly a COI issue. We'll see how this goes. -- Ryankiefer (talk) 18:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Judo
Hi, why are you trying to delete my work? Can you imagine how hard and slow it is find infos about those judokas? I am probably only one who do this so please let me do my work. I don't think i am doing anything bad or i am writing fictive datas. There are thousands profiles of tennis players, soccer players and I am creating only profiles for those judokas who have won medals. Where is problem? David Nix
- Please don't take it personally. On Wikipedia, all biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010 have to have at least one reliable source or they get deleted. They also have to be of a notable subject per Wikipedia's notability requirements. All articles I had nominated of yours for speedy deletion were unsourced and didn't show notability other than a medal at a local tournament. Please see WP:BIO for notability requirements for people. Also, when dealing with other editors, please remember to assume good faith. I'm not out to get you. -- elektrikSHOOS 17:30, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Gordon Cheesborough article
thanks for adding the commemnts the article requires cleaning up. I've tried to do so but to date no one else has added/deleted anything. Is there something fundamentally wrong you see which I can correct? Also, at what point (and who) assumes the responsibility to delete the request to help clean up the article? -- Digby scallops (talk) 19:22, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
- Those tags are generally meant as a guideline and can be removed by anyone. If you believe an article has fixed one of the issues tagged, feel free to remove the tag yourself.
- In terms of how to go forward, I'd look at a few biographies that have reached featured article status (Michael Jordan, Charles Darwin, Archimedes) for ideas on what to do content and style-wise. Notice how the articles are concise, well-wikified and have a plentiful amount of in-line citations, especially for the ones which are about a person who's still alive.
- I'll do some copyediting on the article for you later. Hope this helps. -- elektrikSHOOS 19:55, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I have a better idea of what you are talking about after seeing your changes. Will keep my day job and try and do better in future, likely also going back and changing some previous edits and articles.

Thank you for tagging regarding 128 junior high school jakarta. When you believe an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). —mono 00:32, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Jonathan armidale
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Jonathan armidale, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding VQuakr (talk) 07:25, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
{{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi, I've just contested your BLPPROD on Thacholi Ambadi, because, if I'm not terribly mistaken, he should be a fictional character.

- I've added relevant cleanup tags. Looking at the issues presented in the tags is a good start. elektrikSHOOS 19:58, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Let me know if that's better. If you feel it's still a copyright, then can send in for deletion. Let me know though. (JoeCool950 (talk) 23:50, 8 July 2010 (UTC))
- That's better. Though in the future, please don't remove speedy delete tags from articles you've created yourself. Instead, put {{hangon}} beneath the tag and explain why it shouldn't be deleted on the talk page. (I'll let it go this time.) elektrikSHOOS 23:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- It got removed, when I went to where I first started the page. I could add that at the bottom, if you want, or just forget it. (JoeCool950 (talk) 23:55, 8 July 2010 (UTC))
- Don't bother, you've already fixed the copyright violation. -- elektrikSHOOS 23:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- That's cool. I should have corrected it with the tag on there. Sorry. If you want, you can go to the page and remove the tags. Sorry. You can let me know if I did right, for the next time, so that I know. I should have though, rewrote it in my Sandbox, and then put the {{hangon}} on there. Thanks for let me know that the violation has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvience. (JoeCool950 (talk) 00:08, 9 July 2010 (UTC))
- It's really a nonissue, the copyvio in your case was easily fixed, especially given that the article was of someone notable. No problem. Just try not to do it again next time, of course. elektrikSHOOS 00:10, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Question
Is o.k. for the copyright stuff to be in your sandbox, since it's something that is going to be worked on. Was just wondering? (JoeCool950 (talk) 00:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC))
- I'd leave it where it is, as it's fine for now. If you really want to move it, though, see Help:Userspace draft for the standard procedure of where to put it. (You could put it in your sandbox too, I guess.) I'll let you know that as of right now I'm cleaning up the article for you, adding an infobox and whatnot. elektrikSHOOS 00:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- That will work. Glad you added the tags on top, so the article can be improved. Thanks for your help. (JoeCool950 (talk) 02:34, 9 July 2010 (UTC))
Would you mind looking at the Tehachapi Unified School District page? Some user added some stuff. I was looking at the stuff about the schools, and they look like they were copy and could be a copyright violation. Let me know what is, and I could take it off. Fixed the advertisement problem, maybe. If it's still there (advertisement problem) under the schools, let me know, and I can get that fixed back up. I think I'll add an infobox also to the page. (JoeCool950 (talk) 04:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC))
- There's no advertisement problem on those articles. Just so you know, it's acceptable to speak about something positively. The main thing is to avoid ambiguous statements that may introduce a biased point of view. Look over Wikipedia:Manual of Style (words to watch) to get an idea of what is and is not acceptable. All of those pages look fine to me. Definitely add the infobox. Nearly any article can be improved with an infobox. elektrikSHOOS 05:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- Also, the copyright violation for text means that you can't copy or paste, or closely paraphrase, text from any other source. That's often referred to in other cases as plagiarism, and on Wikipedia it's nearly always a very serious issue. The only exception to this is text that's copied from a source that's either in the public domain or has a GDFL-compatible license, which is in such a narrow range of situations that you generally shouldn't worry about at all. See Wikipedia:Copyright violations. elektrikSHOOS 05:22, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Would you be able to find out which administrator deleted my sandbox. Trying to work on the Tehachapi Unified School District page. Some person reverted what you said was fine and took all that stuff off about the schools. I did get my sandbox back up, but feel, since it's my own sandbox to work in, no need to contact them. (JoeCool950 (talk) 22:17, 10 July 2010 (UTC))
- I don't know exactly what article you're talking about, but you can always check who edited any page on Wikipedia via the "History" tab which is on the top of the page. Browse through there, find the problem editor and take it up directly with the editor. Though I would point out several things:
- Don't assume it was an admin who reverted the content on that page. Any contributor can undo any change, and a fairly large amount of editors also have rollback abilities, which allows reverting an edit with one click. (I, for instance, have rollback abilities and I'm certainly not an admin.)
- If you decide to deal with the editor directly, remember, please, to assume good faith. Most editors don't necessarily do things for a malicious reason. If an editor reverted one of your articles it likely had a good reason attached to it.
- And of course, be civil and remember not to assume ownership of articles. Wikipedia, of course, is a collaborative project and no article is "owned" by any person. Remember this when dealing with a problem editor.
- Hope this helps. Good luck. elektrikSHOOS 23:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
- On my sandbox (User:JoeCool950/Sandbox)it doesn't say which administrator deleted it on the Wikipedia via the "History" tab, because I recreated the page with what I'm working on. Hopefully that was o.k.? I was going to take the tab that was on there off, I was practicing, but an administrator saw that, and thought it was marked for deletion, and deleted the page. Hopefully, since it's my sandbox, I could recreate it. Hopefully, that helps with the what I was first talking about. (JoeCool950 (talk) 02:43, 11 July 2010 (UTC))
- The second thing I was talking about was the page about the schools on Tehachapi Unified School District that you said was o.k. and wasn't copyrighted. I could give you the name of the user who reverted (it wasn't an administrator). I left him a good faithful message for a reason why he reverted it. Told this user that I was told there wasn't anything wrong with it. We'll see what he says. One thing I am going to do is kind of rewrite the stuff in my sandbox that looks to be copied, and see what this user does. If he reverts it back, then I'll have to send him a message like what you sent and that it could be vandalism, and watch this guy. If I put the stuff back up, he'll just reverted, and that will start stuff that don't need to be started. Just want the users side of things. Although, this user took off the infobox, when he reverted it, is that considered vandalism, or not? If it is, I could go back to the page, and tell you the user. Just let me know. (JoeCool950 (talk) 02:43, 11 July 2010 (UTC))
Question
Hopefully, you saw my previous questions above. I do know that I don't own the articles, so I definitely, don't assume ownership. I asked the user for his reason for reverting it, so then that way, I can know if it was of good faith. Although, for our own wikipedia pages about ourselves, do you own thoughs, or no (even our sandbox)? Thought I'd ask that? Was just wondering. (JoeCool950 (talk) 06:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC))
- Sorry, I haven't been online. I don't really know how to weigh in, to be honest. Wikipedia is really a flexible thing, and edit disputes such as these depend on the particular situation. I'm not sure what advice to give other than to be direct with the editor, be civil and to try to assume good faith. Sorry. elektrikSHOOS 08:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
- Just want to point out, comments such as "RHworth needs to get lost" certainly don't help the situation. elektrikSHOOS 08:27, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

LogicMonitor Speedy deletion request
Ok, I'm clearly a new Wikipedia person. I had a few people request we add our product to http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Comparison_of_network_monitoring_systems But in order to do that, that page editor requires that the product page exist first. So, I created a product page, which you've marked for speedy deletion.
Any insight as to why the LogicMonitor page would be marked for deletion, and not that of, say, Accelops, or Nimsoft, whose product page is very comparable to the one I created? Any guidance appreciated. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steverfrancis (talk • contribs) 23:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Bring the question to Wikipedia:Help Desk so that editors other than myself can answer.

Articles for deletion nomination of Boyd Crowder
I have nominated Boyd Crowder, an article that you appear to have an interest in, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boyd Crowder. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. — Jeff G. ツ 23:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Request for help
I love Wikipedia and made the mistake of using the Article Wizard to create a page called "Postconsumers" which was speedy deleted (I mistakenly thought it met the notability requirement). Now the page title, with a damaging sentence about its lack of importance, still exists when people search Google for "Postconsumers" (happening a lot since it was just featured on the MSN homepage). Can you or someone please delete the page altogether, which is what I assumed speedy deletion meant? To leave the same page title without its content (and with a condemnation) as an active link on the web is harmful to all, which Wikipedia doesn't deserve. Thanks very much for your help; I found your talk page through my talk page.Carolholst (talk) 01:24, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- The article appears to have been deleted and is no longer on Wikipedia, so you don't need to worry about that. However, this doesn't affect outside indexing by outside search engines. If a site such as Google or MSN has indexed the page, it should disappear from searches within a day or two. However, it may take up to a week for them to update/clear their search indexes entirely. There's nothing we (over here) can do about that. Sorry.
- I should point out too that if you want to work on an article for eventual inclusion without the risk of deletion, you can create what is called a userspace draft. Since the page is in your personal userspace, you can edit the article freely, and ask for feedback if desired, without the risk of speedy deletion. Let me know if you want to know how to set that up. elektrikSHOOS 01:36, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey mate, you tagged this article in a number of ways, I attempted to go through and clean it up to match your standards. Let me know if more needs to be done.
Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Moggo (talk • contribs) 00:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- Well, by adding sources and cleaning up a bit you've definitely satisfied both the notability and reference concerns. However, the article still reads like a promotional work and I'd suggest some cleanup in that regard. Read over Wikipedia:Manual of Style (words to watch), and then take a look at the article again to get an idea of what I mean. When you're editing articles about companies, organizations, groups or products you have to be especially careful so as to give information without sounding like you're advertising. Thanks for the cleanup, though, really. I can't tell you how many editors I've encountered that will either ignore cleanup tags and continue adding, or worse, continue their work on other pages as well. elektrikSHOOS 01:06, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Article deleted
Hey Elektrik Shoos, Wondering why my article was deleted? I cited all sources? Smartypants73 (talk) 03:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- I assume you're talking about the article Alisha Pillay. According to the deletion log (which you can see if you click through the wikilink) the article was deleted per CSD G11, which means that the page was exclusively promotional and would have needed to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Since someone has made this page at least once before, I'd recommend you start with a userspace draft first, which would allow you to work on a draft within your own personal userspace without the risk of speedy deletion. You could then ask for feedback from other editors once you believe it's ready enough for inclusion. Go to Help:Userspace draft to start one. The Article wizard can also guide you through the steps of making an article, and it also has an option to make a userspace draft (which you would want in this case).
- Also, as noted on your own talk page by another editor, reliable sources cannot be edited or affiliated with the subject of the article, such as the subject's Myspace or Facebook profile. Please read over WP:RS to get an idea of what is and is not considered a reliable source. elektrikSHOOS 04:10, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Do you run Wikipedia, or are you a random user who likes to cut down the dreams of children. I aspire to create my own casino game, and had made a very good one! Maybe all you did was scan through it to see if it's useful but it's actually fun. Obviously at the moment it has no value to society because it's not any bigger than me and my friend, but that could've easily changed. i wrote the article solely informatively and you just erased it! it was written like any other article! I'm a twelve year old boy who looks up to my brother who plays different poker games all the time and i just wanted to impress him. my user name is actually my brothers. I'm so sad that my game was up for no more than 30 mins just because it isn't real. Unless you own the site or work for it, in which case it's understandable that you would want to delete it to maintain verifiability of your site, then your just mean! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casinomaker99929 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- I do not own Wikipedia, but I am an editor who acts in accordance with its policies. Nor did I delete your article. The article was deleted by an admin per db-a7, which means it was about a club which did not assert the significance of the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and is a widely used reference tool. It is not a place where you can post things you made up one day. Pages such as this one can damage the credibility and integrity of Wikipedia unless they are well-sourced and already in wide use. Please read over What Wikipedia is not to get an idea of what I'm saying, and don't introduce inappropriate pages in the future. Also, this kind of personal attack is absolutely uncalled for. Please be civil and assume good faith when dealing with other editors. elektrikSHOOS 19:55, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- My apologies, I did not wish to inflict emotional trauma on your wellbeing. I was just very offended that my article and game which had a combined total of 10 hours of work put into it, (in order to brainstorm the idea, calculate the odds, adjust the pay table and discover the optimal strategy, along with creating an account and article that could accurately describe the new game to a person who had not taken part in any of the proceeding work in creating such game, could understand it) could be deleted in under 20 minute. How ever attacking you was wrong, even though i didnt entirely attack you, because i did state that if you worked for wikipedia then it was understandable. Non the less, my behavior was inappropriate, and disrespectful for this I am sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casinomaker99929 (talk • contribs) 20:44, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

La Glorieta
I'm curious about the peacock tag on La Glorieta, which I just finished working on and I believe is well sourced. Which part do you think "may contain wording that merely promotes the subject without imparting verifiable information"? Camerafiend (talk) 02:15, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- In that article, two words immediately stood out to me as being potential peacock words - "historic" and "grandiose." (To be honest, I'm not sure why I tagged the article for two words without just fixing it, now that I think about it.) Anywho, per WP:PEACOCK, you should generally avoid words like that because they're essentially puffery. Clicking through the previous link will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about. elektrikSHOOS 02:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying. I'm familiar with WP:PEACOCK. I don't see how "historic" constitutes puffery, as the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (emphasis added). As for "grandiose," the mansion is described in the cited source as "ornate" and a "Frontier Xanadu." I do not necessarily object to removing "grandiose," but it is backed up by the source (and, I feel, apt; here's a picture of the building in question). If you disagree on this point, I'll remove it. Camerafiend (talk) 02:38, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- I'll bite on "historic." But even if it's cited as such in the source, I'm still wary about using a word like "grandiose." That's really more of a wording issue at this point, though. I don't feel like fighting today. Leave it, and feel free to remove the peacock tag. elektrikSHOOS 02:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Actually now that I've thought about it some, I agree with you on "grandiose"... it is sourced, but it really doesn't add anything to this article (which is about a different building anyway) and keeping it in will probably just cause more disputes. Thanks for your time. Camerafiend (talk) 02:54, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

- I also daresay that this is a possible misuse of the trout template at well. Trout templates are really more for light screw-ups and other hilarious acts of idiocy, not serious instances of "i disagree with your tag, so don't add it again." It's like adding "lol" to the end of "I can't find my children." (Also, thanks Everard for the feedback.) elektrikSHOOS 08:21, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi! You reverted my edit
You reverted my edit just now, on Justicia flavifora, saying it seemed to be unproductive or something like that. Without getting into to much complicated explanation, the edit was to that particular species was to organize the Category page for the genus. I have noticed that many Category pages for plant genera follow several different alphabets in one page, sometimes as many as four. This is because different species articles have set up the Category statement in different ways. I'm going through this page to set it up thus: The upper and lower case are important; these pages list the upper case in the first alphabet, and then follow it with lower case in the second. Setting up the statement the way I have explained arranges things in what seems to be a consensus. 96.255.246.30 (talk) 23:17, 31 July 2010 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

- @92.24.3.41: Given your track record and the dubiousness of the unverifiable content you are attempting to add, I would advise you to give this one up and go home. Consensus has already been reached, and it has been overwhelmingly against the material you are attempting to add. At some point in the very near future you will be permanently banned from editing. If that is your goal, I congratulate you. You're doing a fine job. Freshfighter9talk 13:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

- So does that mean we must revise the entire article? All the information currently on the page is without references. There is currently only one reference at the bottom of the page. How do I add references?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.3.41 (talk) 08:55, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- For BLPs, add the references with the information, please. Otherwise it just looks like you're adding unsourced information. elektrikSHOOS 08:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have been to the talk page... have you? I mention on the talk page that I'm going to add it, and ask for help with the references. Why don't you just help out instead of deleting the material and sending me vandalism templates? -Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.3.41 (talk) 08:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
