re submission of my addition to Di George Syndrome.

Hello Gonzonoir

thanks for the reply.

I just hope i can successfully freely contribute to wikipedia as i have an awfull lot of knowledge i could share to help others in life.

I do want to

   * Build consensus 
   • Resolve disputes
   * Assume good faith 
   • enjoy Civility 
   • assume everyone shares Etiquette
   * not to endure personal attacks •without legal threats

i am a newby and have been hounded off by craigsy refering the hylton castle article , politics local to sunderland.

but wish to equally contribute without remarks made about my own educational ability bearing in mind i have been born in England and use ,well, my native language as questioned by """north north west""" in his slanderous replies .

Can I get this submission I made on di George syndrome in a separate article sub section to help Judges who do use wikipedia in the legal research to get the facts right.

If yes , how do you bring back the deleted work and re correct it under the right format ?

Regards

Mr Snowball

--Mr Snowball (talk) 13:21, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mr Snowball. Take a look at our legal disclaimer: Wikipedia does not give legal opinions and can't give legal advice. Though I'm sure lawyers and judges do read the encyclopedia, we can't create any material aimed specifically at them. As an encyclopedia, all our content has to be intended for a general readership. For that reason, a separate section of the Di George syndrome article wouldn't be appropriate.

You might want to look at other places to host material that Wikipedia can't accept. Our list of alternative outlets may be useful. Gonzonoir (talk) 09:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Revert.

Hello,

I was going to revert that edit onMicrosoft Word but decided against it. The IP removed a statement that had a references as a blog post. He removed the blog post and the statement that it supported, re-wrote the section and added a {{Fact}} tag. I am kind of thinking of putting it back to his version but would like your input first. Thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 11:28, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hm. The diff I'm looking at has him actually just arbitrarily cutting out a chunk of prose, including breaking a word ("translation") in half, which had the effect of moving a fact tag previously appended to the section's last sentence (and dated Feb 07) stuck up in the middle. Do you see it differently? Gonzonoir (talk) 11:32, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Yep I see what you are talking about. Good eyes!--gordonrox24 (talk) 11:36, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Heh, it's nothing, you're just better at assuming good faith than I am ;) Gonzonoir (talk) 11:37, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

SPL Portal

Hello,

You marked the SPL Portal page for deletion. Please undo this action. SPL Portal is a new software product for an focused group of phramaceutical users. The population of users is small, but nonetheless, they are out there and looking for solutions to the FDA's recent guidlines for submitting product labeling in SPL (XML) format.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctrautman1 (talk • contribs) 12:08, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi: I think you must have the wrong person. I've never edited Structured Product Labeling. Gonzonoir (talk) 14:26, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I've now found the article you mean. SPL Portal was deleted six weeks ago because it was an expired PROD. My concern, in proposing it for deletion, was that the article did nothing to show how the software met Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion: it didn't cite any references to show that the subject had been covered in multiple, reliable sources. That's our baseline for notability, the determinant of whether Wikipedia can have an article on a subject.

What to do next: as a regular editor I'm unable to restore deleted articles, but you can request that the deleting admin, SchuminWeb, restore it. Just leave a note on his/her user talk page. Gonzonoir (talk) 16:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Super-trivial note

Hi Excirial. Just wanted to drop a line to say that you're misspelling "Response" in your edit summaries when you handle questions on the Help Desk and NCHP (you have it as "Responce", which leapt out at me because, in my native British English, a "ponce" is a pretentious person). This is super-trivial, but I reckoned I'd want someone to let me know if they saw me doing something similar (so please do, if you do!). I only noticed because you're such a prompt, prolific contributor on those two pages - keep up the awesome work! Gonzonoir (talk) 09:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification! My ability to prevent such errors in kind of reliant on spell-checkers and unfortunately the one integrated in Google chrome seems to be less then perfect as it only catches errors when you select words. Since "Responce" seems perfectly natural to me i assume i have been spelling it this way for months at least (At least i didn't spell it correctly even once in 500 edits).

Thanks so much for copy editing Phineas Flynn! I've been needing other people to contribute to it, as it's currently a GAN. So, thanks! The Flash ^{talk} 19:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! I saw it at DYK, and since I have a bad habit of watching P&F in idle moments, even though I'm 26 :-S I thought I'd give it a once over. If you'd like more attention to the prose there, I'd be happy to give it another look: the edit I made was fairly superficial, and I think there are other areas that need re-wording with reference to sources. Just let me know if that would be useful. Gonzonoir (talk) 19:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, yeah, that'd be great! BTW, do you GA review? Because I've had three articles based on the series up for a bit now and the backlog of the list is starting to get irritating, lol. Anyways, yeah, another look over it would be great! The Flash ^{talk} 20:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've given it another go, and left a few comments on the talk page. I'm afraid I'm probably not going to have time for a GA review just at the moment, but good luck with it! Gonzonoir (talk) 20:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Junior Farmer Field and Life Schools

Good morning, it seems that you have deleted a new page that was trying to insert about the Junior Farmer Field and Life Schools, which is the programme i work for and worked for a few years now. The justification was this here below: (Blanked content that copyviolates http://fex.ennonline.net/29/juniorfarmer.aspx) Gonzonoir (talk) 14:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Since the schools in Swaziland and Namibia have been mentioned in the page i tried to create, i would like to have a few more details in how i can have my page inserted in wikipedia. Thank you Maya2301 - 29/06/2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.202.78.206 (talk) 11:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. I removed your edit for a few reasons:

1. You posted it on a help page, rather than into a new article.
2. It was a direct copyviolation of http://fex.ennonline.net/29/juniorfarmer.aspx - Wikipedia can't accept material that infringes copyright.

You will need to first register an account, which has many benefits, including the ability to create articles.

How to replace an old url with the new url globally in all pages--Help Desk

Hey, just fyi, the user was on the right page; he was asking how to replace url's on Wikipedia pages, or at least that's my understanding. Cheers, Fingerz 09:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, cheers. Sorry, that wasn't how I read it. I'll change my response. It's a slightly ambiguous query, and the user's made some slightly odd amendments to the post (changing the example URLs many times), so I'll ask for clarification. Gonzonoir (talk) 09:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Prod of Menublob

Hi, just a quick hello and to say I support your PROD on Menublob, and have marked the article with a PROD2 in agreement with your reasons to delete. Trevor Marron (talk) 10:53, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Cheers. Someone's speedy tagged it as well, so perhaps I erred too far on the side of caution. I'm not super-familiar with web content notability guidelines so thought it better to be cautious. Gonzonoir (talk) 11:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree, some people are too quick to tag for speedy. Menublob probably is a candidate for speedy, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt too. Trevor Marron (talk) 12:56, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Copyedit request

Hey! I've recently created the article "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together" and have nominated it for a GA; would you mind copyediting it for me just to make sure it has better luck in it's GAN? Thanks! The Flash ^{talk} 03:15, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Great, thanks! The Flash ^{talk} 14:42, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks a bunch, the article's much better now. The Flash ^{talk} 19:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

No probs! Don't take any of my changes as set in stone, by the way - it's still a wiki, and you're still free to change back anything you think I've made worse. Anyway, I've left a further note about the article on your user talk. Best of luck for the GA. Gonzonoir (talk) 19:20, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together

Actually, it was an email sent through a correspondence on the Wikia Wiki for the show from another user. I'll link so to verify. If you're referring to the TV.com ref, that was an old set of codes that was verified by Jeff Marsh but he checked again and it was wrong - so, that, along with the majority of sites on the internet, are wrong about production code. Also, thanks for the compliment. The Flash ^{talk} 19:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Gotcher - who knew there could be so much intrigue in a TV production code. Gonzonoir (talk) 19:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, believe it or not, that was a pretty big controversial topic for that wiki that is still not fixed even with the list, lol :P The Flash ^{talk} 04:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I didn't actually merge the article myself, however I placed tags on the talk page, per the guide to closing AfD debates, here and here.

I had actually redirected the pages to start with, in error, as I actually hadn't carried out the merge. I'm so sorry for the confusion. -- Sk8er5000 (talk) 20:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Robert Keable

Hi there - I see you've this article up at GAN. I don't know that I will get to it, having tied myself up with somewhat less worthy projects at present (see Talk:Wedding industry/GA1), but I was looking at your references and wondered whether you would consider the notes and references system rather than refs alone with the full ref where first occurring: see Ode on a Grecian Urn for an example. I just think it's more accessable and makes for tidier notes that can then sit in two or three columns instead of one. Cheers. hamiltonstone (talk) 05:07, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

That seems like a very sensible suggestion, thanks. I'll take a crack at reorganizing the refs. (This is the first article I've written that has so many references to the same material (though I should probably apply this suggestion to the Trouble with Normal article too), and I got a bit bogged down.) All the best for the Wedding industry GA: I'll just trail that the Keable article has wartime heroics, Jazz Age priest-authored erotica, game fishing, and Pacific islands romance. Not that you should let that tempt you :) Gonzonoir (talk) 07:42, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Everyone (4 users) thinks it should be merged. I have never merged pages before, so I am not completely sure what to do next.

Hey - didn't have very long, so I've just done the merge myself - here are the steps I took, for future reference:

• Close the "merge" discussion and note the consensus, by adding {{Discussion top|1=The result was '''merge''' into DESTINATION PAGE. -- ~~~~}}

to the top of the session about merge on the talk page, and {{Discussion bottom}} to the bottom.

• Click "edit", and copy the text from the article to be merged (Facebook Lite) onto the clipboard
• Load the destination page (Facebook), find an appropriate section (I thought it fit with the interface evolution, since Lite is an alternate interface), and click edit: paste the text from Facebook Lite in there. I made a few edits to the text I'd pasted as well, dropping an uncited sentence on speculation and adding another source.
• Save my changes to Facebook with an edit summary pointing to the consensus for merger (at Talk:Facebook Lite).
• Replace the text at Facebook Lite with #REDIRECT [[Facebook#Facebook Lite]] {{R to section}} {{R from merge}}, which links to the relevant section and categorizes the redirect page that will result, and leave an edit summary again pointing to the consensus for merger.
• On Talk:Facebook, add a {{merged-from|Facebook Lite}} template pointing readers of that page back to the Facebook Lite talk page, should they need it.

And I think that's all it needs :) Is that all clear? Think you could do one yourself now? Gonzonoir (talk) 14:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I will find another candidate for merger and give it a go! --Alchemist Jack (talk) 14:09, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Advent Training

Hi Gonzonoir

Thanks for the message. It was just the kind of feedback I was looking for actually.

To prove notability of the company, should I include reference to where Advent has been covered in independent sources? Things like press coverage?

Also, I've put this live as a stub, which I guess is the right thing to do?

Finally, one of the main reasons for me doing this (I've been upfront and pointed out I work for Advent) is that our main competitors are also on Wikipedia. So if we're not allowed on, I guess they're not either?

Thanks for your help

Computermaven (talk) 09:55, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there - sorry for the slightly belated reply. Thanks for being so open about your connection to Advent. To answer your questions one by one:

• Yes, press coverage is exactly the sort of thing that could establish notability. It should be independent coverage, not press releases. Have a read of our guideline on reliable sources for more details.
• Stub tagging isn't terrifically important - it's mainly an aid to other editors who might be looking for something to expand - but yes, that was a good call for that article. Stub tagging does not, though, mean that an article is held to lower standards of notability. The best thing you can do is to add references that establish notability before you post the article into the main article space. You can do this by working on a draft version in your own user space beforehand.
• It doesn't automatically follow that an article on your competitors justifies an article on Advent. The other company might be notable where you are not (the company I work for rates Google as a competitor; I'm absolutely sure they're notable and we're not (yet :) ) ) It's also possible that the competitor might not be notable and that its article might merit deletion, but that nobody's got round to reviewing its notability yet. See our guideline "Other stuff exists" for details on why it's hard to extend notability arguments by analogy.

Does this answer your questions? Cheers. Gonzonoir (talk) 08:26, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
