Caroline Balderston Parry

I've never understood how wikipedia has used talk pages. Has always seemed a pretty primitive way to communicate, but it does seem to work for many. I don't understand why Caroline Balderson Parry's page has been deleted and I would like more information. If this is where I get that, great. If not, please provide a link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgifford (talk • contribs) 15:16, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I am probably going to sound like RHaworth here but add a link to the article you are talking about, leave messages at the bottom of the page using "new section" making sure to add a section header and sign your posts! Read WP:Talk pages. Caroline Balderston Parry was deleted without prejudice at AfD, if you read your talk page, and annoyingly, Ron Ritzman is no longer online. I'm sure if you ask RHaworth politely he will restore it for you - make sure to use {{Rdc}}.--Launchballer 15:40, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Easy to Love (Kalil Wilson album)

Hello Launchballer,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Easy to Love (Kalil Wilson album) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is significant enough to be included in an encyclopedia, and the artist doesn't have an article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. scope_creep talk 16:47, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Onyx (DJ)

Hello Launchballer,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Onyx (DJ) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is significant enough to be included in an encyclopedia, and the artist doesn't have an article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Deletion discussion about Onyx (DJ)

Hello, Launchballer,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Onyx (DJ) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Onyx (DJ) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, scope_creep talk 19:21, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Onyx and Kalil Wilson

Dear Launchballer Sorry for trying to delete both of the above, but hear me out. Onyx is a very minor DJ, who is clearly non-notable. If I hadn't submitted it for WP:Afd, somebody else would've. As for Kalil Wilson, most of the article's sources are broken, or point to dead pages. The information that is in the firmament, declare a fairly new artist, who in my opinion, is non-notable. They guy hasn't done anything. A single album to his name! scope_creep talk 19:31 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Scope_creep: Onyx passes WP:MUSICBIO criterion #2, so I'm not budging on that. Kalil I have slightly less inclination towards; I'll fix the links and then make a decision.--Launchballer 19:40, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Deleted article restored by ... subject of article

Hitha Prabhakar, which was deleted once, and then nominated for deletion (a nomination which achieved the 7 day period) has now been edited by ... HPrabhakar, who has no other edits. I still think this resume needs to be deleted. Ehusman (talk) 01:00, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Anyone want to guess whether Ajritughbnrjh is a sockpuppet for Hprabhakar? Ehusman (talk) 01:31, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Nope. The original author for the page is Hithap. Both Hprabhakar and Ajritughbnrjh are sockpuppets of that.--Launchballer 09:27, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hitha Prabhakar (2nd nomination)

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hitha Prabhakar (2nd nomination), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

I came out of Twinkle before it was complete, so I redid it to finish what I started. There is no need for two of these and it makes much more sense to put this at the original AfD.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Launchballer 08:25, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Please Help

Hello,

I am currently trying to fight allegations regarding me being a Sock Puppet. I see that you have a good history with Wikipedia and I was wondering if you could look at my case. Here is the link to https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Swamifraud&action=history. I have tried to explain my part as best as I can. I appreciate you help. Thank you.

Bluespeakers (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Well I'm honoured that you come to me for help, but unfortunately for you, I also have a prolonged history of sockpuppetry myself, and as such I can tell one when I see it. It is very likely that you two are connected because an IP you claim to use when not logged in - 35.16.75.250 - can be traced back to the same place that another IP you claim not to use, 141.217.233.69, can be traced to. You could argue coincidence on that - after all, Wayne State University holds almost thirty thousand students - but the types of edits you two make are just too coincidental for my liking. For me; it is definitely puppetry, it's just a case of whether it's sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry.--Launchballer 16:56, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Hithap

Hello, my friend. Just wondering, how does operating those three accounts contravene community policy? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:49, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I really wouldn't bother quoting the contents of a template I use, not least one I throw down using Twinkle, but it's an undeclared alternate account. See #Deleted article restored by ... subject of article.--Launchballer 11:10, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I must be missing something obvious. Whether you threw it down via Twinkle or manually, it is still a message to a user, right? You are still responsible for the content. The template accuses the user of operating "...more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy..."

The log for the article is here. I don't see it having been recreated by anyone other than an admin.

Again, please tell me how that user contravened policy. I dont' see any abuse here. Please also tell me why the user has to declared alternate accounts.

Again, I'm sorry if I'm missing something terribly obvious. Thank you kindly, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 11:52, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't always notice that Twinkle puts notices down on talk pages. Alternate accounts need to be declared as linked per WP:Alternate account.--Launchballer 12:25, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm commenting here at Anna's request. WP:Alternate account only recommends declaration, doesn't it?  —SMALLJIM  12:53, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

It certainly didn't the last time I looked at it.--Launchballer 13:20, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Very last sentence of the section. In this case I'd say that User:Hprabhakar is probably User:Hithap, who only made one edit in 2007 (forgotten password?), and User:Ajritughbnrjh may be a sock, but it may just be another case of changing user name, perhaps to avoid apparent COI. Hprabhakar hasn't edited since Ajritughbnrjh appeared. I don't think a CU is warranted.  —SMALLJIM  13:33, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

And Launchballer, as you've requested a CU, please read Template:Editnotices/Group/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:42, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

I think this edit is in rather poor form. First, she receives a notice that she's under investigation for contravening policy with no evidence of abuse of accounts, and then clicks the link and sees that "resume" remark. That doesn't give a good impression of Wikipedia editors. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:34, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Please note that this case is now on hold. You need to clarify why you think these accounts are being used in an abusive manner or the case will not proceed. Please stop by the investigation page to leave your comments. Thanks, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 16:23, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Whoops! You're going to laugh at me for this: I've managed to confuse this with Dj Wang, which is also at AfD and is frankly disgusting.--Launchballer 18:30, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Epsom Hospital

I've expanded this to get it over the 1,500 character limit, so it should be a good for a DYK now. There appear to be far more sources on West Park Hospital, but I'm pretty sure the ones I've added here are about this one. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:37, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Re: Little Nikki Says

Re your message: The single's article is pretty much the same as the artist's article in that there is nothing substantial for you to use. It was just an Infobox and a single sentence stating that it was the "upcoming debut single". I would recommend rewriting everything from scratch. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:21, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Re your message: Okay. I restored the article for you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:25, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Re your message: Instead of asking for a histmerge, why don't you just copy what you wrote into the restored article? There is nothing you saved from the prose so there really isn't much history to preserve. And the YouTube link on the Infobox is dead, so you really didn't get that much out of the Infobox. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:51, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Requested Moves

Hi - I saw your situation with the Nicole Shortland and Little Nikki pages. Basically I've got a nice little user page of mine over at User:Djunbalanced/Look Right Through, but someone's turned the Look Right Through page into a redirect so I can't move my user page over. What did you do to resolve this issue in your case? I don't want to make a cut-and-paste move and I'm not quite sure how to move it over! Thanks, DJUnBalanced (talk) 17:51, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your help. Unfortunately Greenock125 has 'looked right through' this situation and went and created his own article so I've done my best to merge the two. He's also created a separate Storm Queen (DJ) page and not noticed your Storm Queen (musician) article. Probably best that these are merged/one gets redirected. Personally I favour the title musician to DJ! DJUnBalanced (talk) 12:03, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Niall Sheehy (entertainer)

Hello, Launchballer.
I note that you removed the speedy deletion template from Niall Sheehy (entertainer). I don't know all the ins & outs of notability, but at least 2 other editors seemed to disagree with you.

Not directly related to notability, the creator of the page Karin Phan (talk · contribs) has totally failed to take heed of multiple warnings on their talk page. They must know how to use it as they simply blanked the first warning they received. (Mind you, that was the first message on their talk, a warning. I took the trouble to welcome them, though it doesn't look like it helped at all)

They started off by overwriting Niall Sheehy iirc a Gaelic footballer, with text about another person. When that was reverted they created another page, when that was moved back to AFC it was rejected due to sourcing issues that still exist, ie only sourced to Facebook and a personal website. I believe they ignored the AFC rejection and moved it into main article space where it was quickly nominated for CSD by another editor.

They then removed the speedy template at least 3 times, and maintenance templates, that I added-COI admission, at least twice. If you haven't had a look at the page's edit history, I suggest you do so. Just thought you might like to know all this.

I see that yet another editor has tagged it for CSD, so that's 3 that disagreed with you! ;-) 220 of ^Borg 13:53, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

It's all moot now, as the page has been deleted as non-notable per Wikipedia:CSD#A7. As was page the editor re-created (twice) at Niall Sheehy (actor). 220 of ^Borg 16:50, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Absolutely disgusting. I have asked FisherQueen to restore it.--Launchballer 17:24, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps, but she was shown extreme AGF, IMHO. Have you seen WP:Sockpuppet_investigations/Karin_Phan/Archive ? Including an IP in Japan! 220 of ^Borg 14:46, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

No I haven't, but I always try to comment on content and not contributors.--Launchballer 16:12, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Criterion 6 is "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably-prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.[note 6] This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses." How do you feel the subject satisfies this?

Proposed deletion of All I See (A+ song)

The article All I See (A+ song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Appears to fail WP:NSONG with no notability asserted

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

"The following factors suggest that a song or single may be notable, though a standalone article should still satisfy the aforementioned criteria." I see nothing in article suggesting that any RS has talked about the song. Josh Parris 08:56, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Your addition of http://www.rapreviews.com/archive/BTTL_latchkeychild.html moves it from "it should be deleted" to "it can be saved". Thank-you, and please feel free to keep adding to the article. Josh Parris 11:06, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Are you still reviewing articles at AfC?

Heya. Back again. Are you still reviewing articles? I've had Julie Chaiken sitting for a month. It may be because I disclosed a COI, which isn't really even a COI -- Julie Chaiken is a friend of a friend, but I've never met her. I wrote the article because I couldn't believe one didn't already exist. (Julie Chaiken is a well known designer.) Anyway - if you're still reviewing, will you take a look? Everything's in order, at least as far as I can tell. Hope you're well! Julie JSFarman (talk) 18:28, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Acalamari: It's absolutely fine. I probably shouldn't've snapped like that, but when I used to edit the Sonic News Network one of its users used to wind me up by calling me deviants of my username, and it was a bit of an unpleasant throwback to that. In future, always tag me when mentioning me because if you misspell it, it'll come up as a red link.--Launchballer 22:56, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

WP:NFOOTY

Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Wilkinson (footballer):

It's not that "kicking a ball around a pitch" is an indication of notability. It's that experience over the last decade or so has taught Wikipedia editors that players who play in fully-professional leagues or who otherwise meet WP:NFOOTY are very likely to have received significant coverage in reliable sources, so, as with most of the specialized notability criteria, we just "assume" that anyone who meets one of the specialized notability criteria also meet WP:GNG until proven otherwise.

With football (soccer) players of this era, "proving otherwise" would require researching all non-local newspapers which would be expected to provide non-trivial coverage of some but not all players on the teams he played in during the "fully professional league" portion of his career. If no such coverage existed for this person, then you could make a good, probably convincing, argument that he is not notable. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:37, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Sockpuppet considering by non-admins

Hello dear admin, i want to say that two non-admin users Soham and Nehapant19 try to considering me a sockpuppet of my own (which is not possibe). I request you to please warn them. If they are not able to warn then please block them from editing. Watch these 1.[[1]] and 2.[[2]]. Moreover, Nehapant is also trying to adding wrong information in List of Bollywood films of 2013. He already has many warnings on his talk page. You may know better. Thanks - Reply me on my talk page - Yasir Mushtaq Talk 13:08, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

First off, I am not an admin, though I'd dearly love to be. Secondly, how have you managed to remain unblocked for almost three weeks as a blatant sockpuppet of Yasir72.multan who I assume Soham means? And thirdly, I suspect you are also 208.126.49.47 (talk) as well because you are a pest and you know who I am. RHaworth! -- Launchballer 13:19, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

• Yasir, we will keep this discussion on one page please. I see no evidence of sock puppetry. Yasir72's hallmark is attempting to create articles about festivals in Pakistan and you have not done that. So I say just an unfortunate similarity of names. Soham's silliness should just be reverted until they get bored but if you do have further trouble from Soham or Nehapant19 that needs admin action, please contact me.

Launchballer, 208.126.49.47 is registered in Western Iowa so is probably someone quite different. What was the point of {{u|RHaworth}}? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:53, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Very simply, Template:U tags a user, that should have given you a notification.--Launchballer 18:17, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

I have no intention of labelling him as a blatant sock. He is undergoing an SPI for which I attatched a note on top of his talk and user page. That was just to notify users along with him that he was undergoing an SPI. If he had a problem with that he could have removed it. I expressed my doubt nothing else, as the template has written in bold. If my actions have wronged you, I simply and sincerely apologise. But if you are a sockpuppet of Yasir72.Multan I will prove it. You know it better than I do, I mean, whether you're a sock or not. Soham 14:24, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Promises of Wikipedians

This message has also been taged on RHaworth and Smsarmad's talk page

Hello RHaworth, its Yasir72.multan. I want to do a serious talk. If we ignore my created account and you unblock Yasir72.multan then I promise you that I will :

1. Never Creat any other acvount

2. Stop irritating Administrators

3. Stop irritating Pages of Administrator's talk pages

4. Never do Personal attacks

5. Never creat articles or archives of Festivals in pakistan or other any article

It is a good deal. Please unblock Yasir72.multan (or give an expiry date of my account blocking) so I can act apon my promises. You will see no any mistake again about me. I Promise, but unblock me. Try to give me one chance. I am waiting for your reply. Please dont forget to reply me. Thanks dear. - 119.160.119.48 (talk) 12:39, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I have redirected both RHaworth and Smsarmad to this page. Personally, I take the view that as you are to this day willing to log out and edit you are still capable of block evasion. I'd be inclined to say no especially given that all of the above you are not allowed to do per Wikipedia policy. RHaworth and Smsarmad may have other ideas but I am saying no.--Launchballer 13:26, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Well since I can't unblock you so I don't think my individual opinion matters much but I do like to comment on your "promises".

@1. What we want here is that you understand Wikipedia's policy about Sock puppetry.

@2, 3 and 4. Not just administrators, that should be "Stop irritating every other editor" and in every way you did (This includes trying to log in as other editors and sending password reset email).

@5. Again you need to understand why the page you created initially was deleted. Its copies in user space created by your socks later were deleted for a different reason than the page you created with your master/first sock account in main space. You need to show complete understanding of this.

Actually each of your promise lacks what I think every administrator/community/Ban Appeals Subcommittee would like to see before unblocking you, the understanding of Wikipedia's policies that you violated. And besides that you also need to understand what this project is about and what it is not, since you used your master account and some socks also merely for promotional purposes. So for me to voice my opinion in your favor (and if that really matters) you need to act upon the above by explaining to us each of the problem expressed about your editing. Till then as a member of this community I don't want to see you unblocked. And if you want to continue to disrupt Wikipedia I think I may ask the community to ban you permanently. -- SMS ^Talk 14:33, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

I am giving the answers of Smsarmad's replied :

@1. So far in month of August, I have only one account (Yasir72.multan). I was new that time and did not know about sockpupetry. You blocked me so.i creat another another account. But now i have been understand the process of Sockpuppetry which is a crime in Wikipedia.

@2,3 and 4. In August, Smsarmad deleted my pages (Pakistan Tehwaar Calendars). I was unknowladge about Administrators and Wikipedia deletion policy. Therefore, i started irritating the pages of Administrators and other also.

@5. Simply, I have not creat any article about list of festivals again (You can watch Yasir Mushtaq's Contribs or archives). Moreover, Yasir Mushtaq is my real name.

I want to ask only one thing now. What are the suggestions you will give me to how I can unblocked or what should can I do now for unblocking? - Please Reply must Smsarmad! - Thanks - 119.160.119.193 (talk) 16:12, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Wait, I thought Yasir Mushtaq said he wasn't related to you... No, it is too recent a lie. Plus typing in 'yasir mushtaq festival' brings up three salient results so it is very likely you have a COI.--Launchballer 16:45, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I accepted that I told lie because I want to save my orignal-name account for blocking. But now I will tell you every thing truth. My name is Yasir Mushtaq from Multan Pakistan. I told a lie with RHaworth that "I am Ayesha and love you". Similarly, I left abusive messages on Deb's talk page (sometimes illegal photos). I also try to write stupidity on Smsarmad's talk page. Many other irritations was done by me

But now, i want to be a good wikipedian. I also not want to irritate others. Now please give me answer of my Question that I asked you above. Reply Must - 119.160.119.27 (talk) 19:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

You're not being unblocked.--Launchballer 20:33, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Launchballer, I decide to creat a voting system for my unblock. This will be a first voting system in which every administrator will vote for my block or unblock. I want to see that how many administrators are want to unblock me and how many do not. Otherwise, you are not an admin. So why I am talk to you for my unblocking. You are a just simple user. Sorry for the discussion I have done above. It was useless to talk a non-admin. Thanks - 119.160.119.201 (talk) 06:59, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

• • Yasir, you are not going to be unblocked at this time. There's too much recent sockpuppetry (including today). You should read Wikipedia:Standard offer. That involves waiting for *six months*, without any sockpuppetry, before asking to return. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

NawlinWiki: THANK you. I am currently smarting from the remark "you are not an admin. So why I am talk to you for my unblocking. You are a just simple user. Sorry for the discussion I have done above. It was useless to talk a non-admin" made by Yasir above; do you think I would make a capable admin?--Launchballer 16:27, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Dont worry, you have said to me that I couldn't be unblock.
Therefore, Now I am starting to act on opposing my Promises.
You can replace the following words from above promises :

Will not to Will

Will to Will not

Never to Everytime

Now it is the time when You, RHaworth, Smsarmad, Nawlinwiki and Deb will irritate every time. You will become a "4-Insulted-Users in Wikipedia". 119.160.118.120 (talk) 17:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

That's five you pest! Any further disruption and you can forget Smsarmad submitting the siteban request - I will.--Launchballer 17:31, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Launchballer, I am sorry for the discussion or warning that I have done above. But NawlinWiki give me a standard offer. I promising you that I will not do any sockpuppetry for six months and will not irritate you. OK bye, meet you in the month of June. Thanks and again sorry for my bad carrier in wikipedia till now. Good Bye. Waiting for your reply - 119.160.118.117 (talk) 19:04, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

• Moreover, during these months i will be busy in real life so I will cannot give time to wikipedia. Bye - 119.160.118.117 (talk) 19:08, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Incomplete DYK nominations

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Linda Nolan at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 21:10, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Luisa Zissman at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 21:10, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

You may want to take an opportunity to reword the DYK nom for Zissman, particularly considering it is about spelling and grammar! The name would be spelt 'incorrectly', not 'wrong'. But even so, she didn't spell it incorrectly, because it is a company name which can be spelt in whatever way she wants it. What raised some people's eyebrows was the missing apostrophe. Sionk (talk) 13:18, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

I have changed the word to 'incorrectly'.--Launchballer 13:30, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Smsarmad's Clavery

Hello, its Yasir72.multan

First time, I "un-answered" Smsarmad.

Can you believe? *Smsarmad* creat same "festivals of pakistan" articles (copy&paste) on *SIMPLE ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA*. He also request it for Semi-Protection when i want to delete them. Watch [[3]]

When I asked him that "You were going against of my articles in this wiki. But why you going on creating on SE Wikipedia? (it is stoled article) and when I request to delete them, then you request for S-protection of it"

He had not yet give me the answer of "Why?"

In his User talk History, He leaved this notice that "I am not going to tell you". You can watch its History page.

Anyhow, the pages on SE wikipedia has been deleted because I request them for speedy deletion

I am only want to telling you that it is a not good phenomenon that the articles creat by those who were against of them. Smsarmad's un-answering is the proof of his mistake.

You can further discuss this issue with me and Smsarmad here. Please ask him "why?" because He is not ready to tell me. Thanks. 119.160.118.225 (talk) 11:33, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

DYK QPQs

Hi Launchballer, I see that one of your DYK self nominations has been approved and is presently in Prep 3 without you apparently completing a QPQ for it - so it looks like you've got away with that one. Can I just give you a gentle reminder that you are required to complete a QPQ for any self nominations as you have more than five DYK credits. It appears that you currently probably still need to do QPQs for the following self nominations:

• Gander Green Lane - which is a two article nom so requires two QPQs;
• Treat 'Em Right
• New Malden High Street
• Linda Nolan
• Cirrus (song)

Particularly in light of the ongoing discussions about QPQs presently taking place on WT:DYK, I don't want to go to each of the nominations and highlight this as it will be better if you take the initiative to complete them, don't you think? If you find carrying out QPQ reviews difficult, I'm sure experienced DYK editors, like BlueMoonset or Crisco 1492, will be willing to help advise you if you ask. My apologies if you have already completed QPQ reviews for these and just not marked them on the template. SagaciousPhil - Chat 16:07, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

• Actually, the Zissman nomination is being pulled back until a QPQ has been completed; QPQ is a requirement, and has to be met. Launchballer, you need to make sure you complete the QPQ requirement each time you nominate articles for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:26, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of companies with spelling mistakes in their names

The article List of companies with spelling mistakes in their names has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Mostly unsourced, POV (who defines whether or not it is a mistake or intentional? there is no international neutral arbiter of spelling and grammar)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

We are not arbiters of spelling and grammar. Strunk and White is not holy writ. It has long been accepted that proper names do not necessarily conform to anyone's conception of spelling and grammar. Witness eBay, FedEx, Mondelēz, etc. None of those words are misspelled or grammatically-incorrect. They are what they are. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 08:39, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
