British Journal of Sociology
[edit]Hello, I was just about to create an entry on the British Journal of Sociology (one of the standard journals in the social sciences), but apparently you deleted an earlier entry with this title, so I should contact you before making a new entry. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 09:22, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Don't worry, as long as your article has real content it should be fine. The other one was deleted because it didn't have any text, i.e. it was an infobox and some categories. Even the most basic of descriptions would not be deleted in such a way. If you like, I could userfy the deleted content for you and you could work on it in your userspace then move it back once you were done, which would save you the effort of writing up infobox data. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 15:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks - userfying sounds handy. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Done. You can now work on it at User:Andreas Philopater/British Journal of Sociology, and once you're done, you can move it back to its original title and namespace. Let me know if you'd like any further help. :) {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 18:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks very much! --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
- All done! --Andreas Philopater (talk) 22:02, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Michael James Arman Brough
[edit]What a pity this article has been deleted. The stream of musical works from this composer continues to find enthusiastic new audiences with performances as far away from the UK as Western Canada. Several recordings are planned and the first performance of the large bass clarinet sonata are pending - very few works exist for this unusual instrument. Would it have heped to have provided references to reviews (this could have been done)? As it is, the article is now lost. Hintersatz (talk) 08:49, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- It appears that the article has already been undeleted—and again nominated for deletion, this time through the Articles for Deletion (AfD) process, so there's not much I can do besides recommend that you provide the reviews that you mention here. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 15:55, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Martyn Godfrey
[edit]Hey Nihiltres, I'm having trouble adding a link in the Martyn Godfrey article. This is the link: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/g/martyn-godfrey/. COuld you please add it in? Thank you! Neptunekh2 (talk) 01:13, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
1990's Sega CD Game
[edit]I recently saw an advertisement for the new video game entitled "Lost Planet 2." At the end of that commercial the large beast consumes a human like a frog consumes a fly and a sound effect is uttered like in a Sega CD game that I am having trouble remembering the title to. I remember the intro where a space pilot is doomed and lets out the same sound effect while trying to outrun an enemy's deathbeam, but is unable to do so while his ally's ship is the only one capable of escaping the same deathbeam. I also remember the animation of the doomed pilot turning into a skelleton during his demise. To the best of my past knowledge, the Sega CD game is entitled "Stellar Fire," but I'm not entirely sure. If the game is "Stellar Fire," great, I somehow remembered the name of that game, but if it isn't "Stellar Fire," I was hoping that you could tell me what the name of that game is.

Deletion of "White Spaces Consulting" page on 13th may.
[edit]i am trying to create awareness about White spaces consulting among people. But not able to understand the reason it is being deleted. It is similar to any other company page on wikipedia. Can you please explain the reason it is being deleted & solution for it.
this will be very helpful. This is similar to any other consulting company.
Abhishek Rathi (Cyberrathi | talk) 06:55, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
- It was deleted for a few main reasons. Firstly, it was deleted through a process called "[[WP:PROD|proposed deletion" ("prod" for short). This meant that the page was tagged as pending deletion for seven days, during which a single objection could cancel the process. Secondly, the article lacked two things: references to sources, and neutrality. References to reliable sources are important due to Wikipedia's policy of verifiability. The article lacked these, so it was said to lack "notability". The second was that the article appeared to be advertising the company. This is not allowed, not least because of Wikipedia's policy of neutrality.
- The solution would be to rewrite the article, including references to reliable sources making non-trivial mentions of the subject (this may be difficult or impossible for some subjects, hence the "notability" idea) and without unduly promoting the organization, i.e. with a neutral point of view, neither outright praising nor condemning the subject, but making factual statements that will allow people to make up their own mind. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 15:04, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Deletion of "College University" Page
[edit]Is there any way for me to get a copy of this page so that I can work on it to make it Wikipaedic. Thanks. DJ1AM (talk) 17:16, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'll userfy it for you later once I've finished some debugging work. Cheers, {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 17:20, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- I've userfied the page to User:DJ1AM/College University for you. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 14:51, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
EPM Live was deleted
[edit]Can you help me get it back up? I can provide more notable sources if needed. We were also listed in some of the directories and have been pulled from that as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hchampoux (talk • contribs) 01:07, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
- I'd suggest starting a copy in your user space, e.g. at User:Hchampoux/EPM Live, and working on it there. I can't simply undelete the article now, as it's been the subject of an Articles for Deletion discussion and not merely the subject of proposed deletion. Write a copy in your userspace, and provide as many sources as possible. Also, I note that you say "we were also listed" (emphasis added); if you're involved with the subject, please be careful of your conflict of interest. Cheers, {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 15:09, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. How does it get tagged for deletion and who tagged it? Is there no way to get it back? Last time I contacted you, you put it back. I just want to make sure I'm clear as to why it was deleted. If I put the information under my username how does that help get it back up under EPM Live. Again, sources can be provided. Thanks in advance for your help.
Invalid Delete of 'Persistent Real Objects' Artical
[edit]Why did you delete my artical on "Persistent Real Objects" it does not violate ANY of the requirements for a new artical and is a valid reference to a new emerging technology? What was the reason for the deletion.
According to the rules in order NOT to have to site additional references to maintain a new articl the artical must be self explanitory and this is a new emerging technology. What was the reason for delete?
- You seem to be mislead about the rules—Wikipedia articles are required to be verifiable, and being "self-explanatory" doesn't justify not citing any good sources. Now, that's beside the point. This article, Persistent Real Object was deleted because it was tagged for deletion (by Noq) for 7 full days (168 hours) without any visible objection to the deletion. Noq's deletion rationale was quoted in the deletion summary: "not notable. Google only finds 2 references to "Persistent real object" - and one of those is this article and the other is a blog post." This was a proposed deletion, so I can restore it on demand. That being said, I can't guarantee that it won't be deleted again! I could also userfy the article for you if you log in, or simply email you a copy of the deleted article. What would you like me to do? Cheers, {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 01:03, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
I know it's been almost a year, but
[edit]as the saying goes, better late than never. Now that Vector is the default skin, you will probably need to leave a message at WP:VPT to make sure you won't be reverted. Yours, Dodoïste (talk) 12:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Adoption
[edit]Hey. Are you still looking for an adoptee? We seem to have similar interests RE: Wikipedia (I'm mostly a copy-editing and anti-vandalism kind of person). Let me know. cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 23:37, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'm always available to help with editing questions. Just let me know where you'd like help. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 23:43, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- I know about the basic functions of Wikipedia; the reason I'm looking for adoption is because I'm interested in learning about searching for vandalism, tools to help with reverting vandalism and tools to help with copy-editing. cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 23:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- The best place to start is probably the most obvious: Wikipedia:Tools! :)
- If you're running Windows (I'm not) I particularly recommend trying out AutoWikiBrowser for many tasks, and I've heard a lot of good things about using Huggle against vandalism. I tend to do most of my anti-vandalism work relatively manually, so I'm not sure what the best tools for Mac OS or Linux would be, though I hear that some apps might work under Wine.
- I'm not sure enough of what sorts of tools would be most helpful for you for copyediting—that's a very general task. I suggest taking a look through the tools page I've referenced above, and perhaps letting me know if you had something specific in mind. I hope this helps. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 20:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'm running Windows XP on a highly temperamental PC. I've also heard really good things about the AutoWikiBrowser, but my PC practically explodes when I download software. I'm currently playing around with Twinkle and Lupin, with mixed success. I also just started using WikEd to help with copy-editing. Do you know of any vector/monobook scripts that function as a spell checker within an article (as opposed to Lupin's spell-checker which checks recent spelling errors all over Wikipedia)? cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 01:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think that there are any spell-checking user scripts: spell-checking is almost always provided through the browser or operating system, and spell-checking requires large (for text, at least) dictionary files in any event. I can only recommend downloading a good browser, which is the same advice that the tools page gives. I know that Firefox, at least, has integrated spell-checking, though I'm not familiar with browsers on Windows. If you're still using Internet
ExploderExplorer then that's one piece of software that would be worth the trouble to download—I recommend that or Safari. Safari has other benefits that I prefer, but I can't suggest it here because I don't know whether the Windows version offers integrated spell-checking. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 04:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)- Firefox does have an integrated spell checker but I'm still "training" it to recognize stuff like "borg" and "T'Pol" (Star Trek stuff) as actual words, so that's kinda annoying. I used to run Chrome but there's something weird going on between it and my computer. I ditched "Internet Exploder" (like that name by the way) years ago. I like Safari on Macs, but for some reason it runs too slowly on PCs (I think it's something to do with the browser cache). What type of computer/OS/browser are you running? cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 03:24, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- You'll see issues with custom words and proper nouns all the time—there isn't a good way to get around that problem. I'd recommend simply continuing with the training of Firefox. I'm surprised that you find Safari slow on Windows. My (limited) experience with the Windows version found it fairly fast. Of course, on the Mac side, the rendering engine for Safari (WebKit) is available through the system as far as I can tell, which probably boosts the speed. I usually use Safari on Mac OS X 10.6, but I have a number of browsers that I use for various purposes, notably tab segregation. I can also dual-boot into Windows, though I dislike doing that. Oh, and I appreciate the Star Trek references, but please, don't expose me to any spoilers for Enterprise, as I've only just borrowed the DVDs from my girlfriend. :) {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 04:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ooh, you must watch it!!! The special effects are amazing. And the storylines are great too! (And I own&have seen every single Star Trek episode and movie, so I can judge :). Not to sound too creepy. Or nerdy.)
- I really want to get a Mac, but the PC I'm working on is still relatively new-ish (under 5 years old), so buying a new computer wouldn't be exactly feasible. Do you know if a version of WebKit is available for download and compatible with Windows? I really like the layout, etc. of Safari. cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 23:57, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

(←) I've been booted into Windows (7) for a few days now to play Neverwinter Nights 2 (Mac port is buggy; I play a Chaotic Good human Rogue/Fighter/Weapon Master [weapon of choice: rapier] ) and it seems that on Windows, Safari 5, at least, includes a spell-checker. Hopefully that isn't simply a hack applied by Boot Camp, though I doubt it I'd recommend that, especially as the Safari 5 update apparently introduces hardware acceleration for Windows, which should make it similarly fast to the Mac version, hopefully. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 19:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hm... Interesting idea. I think I'll try it once I can get my PC to stop throwing tantrums. So how are you liking being on a PC? cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 20:12, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- It's a huge pain, but it's worth it to have a faster, more stable experience with Neverwinter 2—not to mention that the expansion packs were never released for Mac OS. I've always used Macs, and I've consistently had a good experience aside from the occasional app that's Windows-only. I only have a copy of Windows (installed in an extra disk partition on my Mac) so that I can run those programs that are both worth the trouble of rebooting into Windows, and won't run acceptably under Wine. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 21:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
- Nice! Yeah, I'm actually downloading Ubuntu to a flash drive because OpenOffice, which I need for several long-term projects, isn't compatible with my PC, even though I have Windows XP. Dang Windows... cymru lass (hit me up)⁄(background check) 17:56, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
[edit]I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.
I intend to revise those articles following the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.
Thank you.

Prince Magloire
[edit]Hello Nihiltres, Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Prince Magloire LAMINE of CENTRAFRIQUE, traditional ruler of the principality of Lobaya (Lobaye) in french) from CENTRAFIQUE. Well it appeared that you deleted my biography written by a good friend of mine for this reason as said: "Nihiltres deleted Prince Magloire because Expired PROD, concern was: Hoax." But I am sorry to let you know that I am real and not a hoax. Some friends told me that you deleted the article due to racism, but in no way I didn't believe that. So in this short note, I just wanted to give you my point of view, telling again: I am real, a true Prince, and all within the article is true. I can help to feed it with more accurate details is necessary. I do hope you'll take time to re-consider your position Sir. Thank you in advance Best regards --Prince magloire (talk) 11:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Prince Magloire
- First of all, there's a common misconception with PRODs (proposed deletions); I did not come up with the rationale for deletion but rather merely deleted the page after 7 days with no visible objection; I don't presume to guess whether it's a hoax or not. This article, which was deleted by proposed deletion, can be restored on demand—just ask me—but remember, it might simply be deleted again. Would you be able to provide a reference to a reliable source confirming your claims? The burden of evidence is currently against you, unfortunately, because there is at least one person (the person who nominated the page for deletion) who suspects that the entry is a hoax. Cheers, {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 17:56, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
inre Chris Limahelu
[edit]I missed this one when in was deleted for lack of response after being prodded.[1] I believe notability can be both asserted and shown through Chris's exceptional record as a player for USC,[2][3] the numerous articles toward him that meet WP:GNG [4], and the places he holds in record books and in athletic history.[5] What would be best... returning it to mainspace or userfying it? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:27, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
- I'd recommend userfying it at first, so that it has plenty of references integrated before you move it into mainspace. Would you like me to userfy it for you? (Please note that I'm away from home for part of the weekend, including now, so there may be some delay.) {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 00:25, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'd be quite appreciative of the userfication to User:MichaelQSchmidt/workspace/Chris Limahelu. I'll make sure it is well sourced and would further appreciate your input before a return to mainspace. Best, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:39, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Done. Don't worry about passing it by me before moving it back to mainspace; I trust you. :) {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 20:25, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks... I do think I have a lot from which to work in improving the article. --Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:00, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- And you will note from the now blue link above, it's back and better than ever. Thanks for the opportunity. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:46, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Adoption
[edit]Hi Nihiltres, I am writing to ask you to adopt me to help me to get on the rights lines to become an admin one day. I have been on wikipedia for 1 year today and felt that it was time to become a better wikipedian. I will be on wiki hopefully quite a bit during the coming weeks and was searching through the list of adopters and you seemed like a good one to ask. Thanks--Pianoplonkers (talk • contribs) 13:13, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
- Just let me know where you want to start. There's no real prescribed path here; a lot of it is just gaining experience and respect. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 17:18, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

nothingthree.js Purge tab
[edit]Hi, The purge-tab script doens't seem to work the way (I think) you intended. It doesn't come out of the dropdown-thing (p-cactions). Also, it can't be instertedBefore the ca-watch/ca-unwatch within p-cactions as the Watch-icon is in p-views. Maybe you intented it to be in the dropdown, but if you didn't, here's how I did it for my self (in the tabbar before the Watch-icon and goes into the dropdown when the window is narrow). editdiff. Krinkle (talk) 14:21, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, I know what's wrong. I never adjusted that part to be properly modular. I use it with another script in the collection which moves the watch tab to the p-cactions bar (after making it textual again), and haven't yet quite fixed it to work on its own. It is intentional that it is placed in the p-cactions menu by default—it doesn't seem to be used enough to warrant going in the tab bar. I'll fix the issue with watch/unwatch, and then from there it should be relatively easy to use
nothingthree.tabMove.core()
(which could also use a few adjustments) to move it out to the tab bar if that's really what you'd like. There might be some minor issues with the collapsibleTabs usability code, which I'm working on fixing, but you shouldn't see any visible errors. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 17:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Rayo Salahadin Withanage
[edit]Hello, The article Rayo Salahadin Withanage has been deleted (on 1 July 2010). I understand the reason given was "no evidence of notability". When the notice first appeared I followed the recommendation to add a summary explaining why the article was relevant and also edited the content with revised text, and yet the article was removed. The content comes directly from The BMB Group - Mr Withanage's company - and they have asked me to create the article back in 2008. The article has been on Wikipedia since then and all I did recently (last May/June) was to update it with revised content, again supplied by The BMB Group. Why has the article now become not relevant? Has the deletion been a mistake? I have been asked to create it again, but I don't want to waste time creating the same article and then have it deleted. Please advice soonest. Maxstubble (talk) 11:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- You also needed to either remove the deletion template or note on the talk page that you objected to the deletion. Otherwise, how was I to tell that there was an objection to deletion? All that was required to prevent the deletion was some visible objection, which I did not find on reviewing the article for deletion (nor on reviewing the deletion now). I can undelete the article—just ask—but I should note that your comment does raise some concerns, e.g. that the "content comes directly from The BMB Group - Mr Withanage's company", which may raise copyright concerns, or that "they […] asked me to create the article", which raises conflict-of-interest concerns. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 17:51, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply. I appreciate that the objection to the deletion might have not been clear. Please undelete as soon as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxstubble (talk • contribs)
- Done. Enjoy… {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 18:35, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Update to Sydney Opera House page
[edit]Hi
Yes, I work for Sydney Opera House and yes, I have permission to repost the copy as my department was reponsible for writing it orginally.
The project (VAPS) that I referenced is the largest building project ever undertaken here and is a major milestone in the development of the building. I am sure that many people that visit the SOH section would be interested in this project.
I would be very interested to hear how you think I may make this information more neutral. In my opinion the paragraph pasted below is factual and does not try to sell any kind of product.
Best wishes Steven
In early 2011 construction will commence on the biggest building project undertaken on the Sydney Opera House site since its opening in 1973. Funded by the NSW Government, the $152 million project will improve visitor safety by removing vehicle access from pedestrian areas by constructing an underground tunnel to allow for deliveries.

- The paragraph now in isn't so bad, so I've let it stick. I'll probably come back and improve it later when I'm not so busy. The main thing is to be aware of both a) the rules and b) the social norms. Your first bit, adding in the long bit, didn't quite fit with the guidelines. The second thing is that it looks bad if you're adding anything remotely promotional, remotely looking like it violates copyright, all that… without making expressly clear what you're doing. I commented on a blog post a while back, and I think my comment there would be relevant here. {{Nihiltres|talk|edits|⚡}} 17:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
