wikify!

Slovenly is a word I find myself using quite a bit at the moment. Slovenly is what I think of anybody who leaves a message here about an article and fails to provide a wikilink to the article. How do you expect me to read the article if you don't link to it? Even if the article has been deleted, you should still link to it.
I reserve the right to ignore any message which does not provide links where appropriate, has no heading, is in the wrong place on this page, has not been signed with ~~~~, is anonymous, etc.
And if that sounds like a grumpy old man, it's because I am ...

Paul T T Easter

Hi RHaworth, I have been researching the article on the film maker Paul T T Easter aka Paul Eastman and requested some help. I've been able to find a live BBC Radio Suffolk interview which was linked on the Shane Meadows forum also the film maker Paul T T Easter BBC Radio Suffolk Interview with Director Paul Easter Live 10-09-08 was inspired by Shane's work Film maker looking for local talent newspaper article and Actor to star in his own movie newspaper article -- Bat21777 (talk) 12:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm have sand boxed all the information i have managed to find and will keeping adding to it hopefully it may soon have enough information links and good source's etc to be viable as a Wikipedia article.--Bat21777 (talk) 16:46, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

While wishing to assume good faith like everyone else above has, I have to say it's very noticeable that this editor has just registered for an account, edited one article about bats and then wants to start resubmitting articles about Paul T T Easter with the previous wording restored. As seen at the previous deletion discussion, it looks very much like this is another sockpuppet or meatpuppet of Mr Easter. Bob talk 19:08, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
It looks like Mr Easter is back trying to add an article about himself on his AFD discussion. Not sure whether that might have to semi-protected perhaps? Thanks. Bob talk 22:31, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Research Turkey

Centre for Policy and Research on Turkey (ResearchTurkey) page is deleted. I had set this up before. You have set copyright infringement on the page, I am quite new to the wikipedi, I thought since this was an explanatory page of the centre itself I thought I did not have to give a reference to. What shall I do re-have it to give the reference too as well, can you help as soon as possible please?

Questions from Lord Laitinen

Since you are an administrator, I wanted to ask for your help. I am trying to organize some userboxes on my user page, and they always jumble with my photo gallery. Can you help explain to me how to create a special area for them to go on the page? Please reply to my talk page. — Lord Laitinen (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I also wanted to ask you to semi-protect my user page and talk page, for general protection from vandalism and unconfirmed users.Lord Laitinen (talk) 06:24, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

  • So why should being an admin make me more qualified on userboxes? A glance at my user page will show you that I don't do userboxes. As to protection, come back when you have actually suffered some vandalism. To stress my point, I have just unprotected my user page. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:34, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

As an admin, you have more experience editing and formatting pages, and I was having trouble, so I asked you for help. You have been nicer to me than most of the people I have spoken to, and I truly appreciate that. If I have any more questions, I will contact you. Since you unprotected your user page, I think you will find a gift from me when you get back.Lord Laitinen (talk) 00:54, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Now that my page has been vandalized, could you please protect it now? This is becoming crazy; my page has been vandalized four times in one day!Lord Laitinen (talk) 23:31, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

I handled this request. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:30, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

This just came up on my watchlist as deleted G7, can you let me know what if any edits I made on the file ? Thanks LGA talkedits 23:35, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Can you un-delete so I can move it to commons. LGA talkedits 07:21, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Happy if you feel the current commons one is better. LGA talkedits 07:13, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Some SVG files are starting to be questioned here on account of being inherently non-free.[1] I have no grasp of the reasoning. Still OK on Commons though the fashion may be taken up over there in time. Anyway SVG is becoming vulnerable on WP. Thincat (talk) 18:51, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Recent deletion of Adam Holmes article

Dear R Haworth (And apologies if I breach wikipedia etiquette as this is the first time I've had to engage in talk). REF 22:29, 9 March 2014 RHaworth (talk | contribs) deleted page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Adam Holmes (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.hebceltfest.com/festival/artists/adam_holmes.php)

Whatever www.hebceltfest.com claim about copyright they clearly do not own the copyright to the Adam Holmes content. Perhaps the copyright sign on their page refers to their own name and logo, it's not clear. Copy which bears a remarkable similarity to the hebcelt text can be found at the following sites, dating back to 2013, and including Adam Holmes' own website (to which it is almost identical), suggesting strongly that the phrasing came from there originally, and has been widely circulated for use by press, venues etc. Artist's own website [2] Folk Roots (2013) [3] Angus Ahead [4] Folk Radio UK, [5] Amazing Tunes [6] Shetland Festival [7].

My article summarised the information already freely available online, but remaining factual, without resorting to the "marketing speak".

While I appreciate the efforts of the Wikipedia editors, and I am aware of the backlog there has been recently, I would suggest that on this occasion the deleting of the article was an error. I would therefore be extremely appreciative if you could un-delete it. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions. Morag Neil (talk) 00:41, 11 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morag Neil (talk • contribs) 00:38, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

  • So "brightest rising star" and "legendary" are not marketing speak? Please read my views on people who copy any web site and have the cheek to think they have created a Wikipedia article. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks the guy is notable and writes about him here. 19:50, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

File:Sydney Skaife00.jpg

User Stefan2 challenged File:Sydney Skaife.jpg as being possibly unfree. It was therefore reasonable to create a new file as a historically significant fair use image. Placing the speedy delete tag with an invitation to object "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", and then immediately deleting the file makes a mockery of the contesting process. — Paul venter (talk) 10:00, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Fontana

Shouted AfC title and Giovanni Fontana (poet). Dear Roger: I posted a notice about this Afc submission at Wikiproject Poetry, and shortly afterwards a new article appeared about this person and the draft was nominated for deletion with an edit summary saying that useful material had been "copied over". You deleted it. Would you mind checking to see if this was a copy-paste situation, and if the old draft should have been history-merged or at least made into a redirect to the new article? I can't see if it was the same person who made the new article or a different person. Thanks. —Anne Delong (talk) 12:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Nutanix

Started an article on Trulioo based on a TechCrunch article I read earlier. This led me to the article on Blumberg Capital which I did some cleanup on including redirecting it into the appropriate page title. Long story short, I went to start an article for the company Nutanix and it looks like it was deleted about a billion times prior. I started the article in my user space here, but wanted to see if there was a way to see the article that was deleted before I went any further. No sense wasting time if there is nothing new that I can contribute. I see that you deleted the last version? Not sure if there is a way to view this or not. -- CNMall41 (talk) 02:48, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

  • It is high time that you learned how to create wikilinks also the difference between a move and a redirect. "Billion times" - pointless, ridiculous exaggeration. You can see the log - it has been deleted just twice. I will happily let you see one or two of the 169 deleted edits - please read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:13, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, You deleted this upload just as I was writing out my "contest this deletion" piece File talk:Citigroup CEO; Michael Corbat.jpg. Is there any chance you could undo this, and give me time to confirm that the picture is free to use? As stated, I have written to my contact at Citigroup. — Tindwcel (talk) 00:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

You deleted US Airways Flight 1702 citing A3 no content. This is a recent, changing event. I oppose your heavy handed action. Please restore. If deleted after careful consideration of a few days, I can understand. Do not make Wikipedia a battleground by such heavy handed action. In return, I will not recreate the article right now. Thank you.Stephanie Bowman (talk) 03:20, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

The event was the number two story on two network's evening news in the US and prominently on the BBC News website so not an obscure event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephanie Bowman (talk • contribs) 03:23, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Warwick Economics Summit

Hi! I am involved in the organisation of the Warwick Economics Summit, and our Wikipedia page was deleted by you in 2012. As we are a student run event and the organizing committee changes every year, it is always difficult for us to retrieve information about the past editions of the Summit. We believe that our Wikipedia page had some information about the early years of the Summit that we would really like to have. Would it be possible for you to share the content of the Wikipedia page with me? Thank you very much!

  • Various states emailed. Even though you do seem able to attract famous name speakers, this does not automatically make it notable. The superficially impressive list of incoming links are all just from captions to photos added by Wyap91 (talk · contribs). You will have an uphill task convincing us that the event is notable. (Please actually look at the log. - I did not delete it in 2012. Indeed the only edits I deleted were promptly restored.) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:06, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Liberia Music Awards

I was trying to make suggested corrections to Liberia Music Awards when it was delete can i have access to the article as much of it took a while to find and compile. Also i was unclear by the verbiage or "promotion" so i tried to model it more after other award show pages i saw, please assist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DimeDivaPromo (talk • contribs) 02:34, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

  • To be honest, I glanced at the article, saw masses of shouting and zapped it as near-vandalism. The shouting shows that you have not managed to model your text on similar articles. But kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your awards are notable and writes about them here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:12, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

About Raxus Prime

Hello, RHaworth, some hours ago, you deleted my article talking about Raxus Prime. This article was taken from a free-license webpage, so it does not violate any copyright license. You can see that statement written right here: http://www.wikia.com/Licensing. I wish you could give me back my article, and, if necessary, I would edit it. (It's a school work). — Preceding unsigned comment added by IO-13-u.mendez (talk • contribs) 10:14, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

  • The topic is adequately dealt with here. We do not need a separate article. But feel free to add links in the lists of Star Wars planets to the Wikia articles. And as for it being school work, I hope your teacher will give you a big fat zero for blatant, unashamed cribbing. Please explain to your mate OI-13-a.cano (talk · contribs) the difference between hole and whole. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:12, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for answering. I just thought that it wouldn't matter if I created a whole article about the planet. Some other plantets from the Star Wars saga, like Kamino, Coruscant or Naboo have their own articles. Why would not Raxus Prime? I think you misunderstood the objective of the schoolwork. It's not about writting your own information, it's about taking it from wherever ( could be a book, the internet, a magazine ) and adecuating it to the Wikipedia style. I could not cheat, because my teacher could look for the article on the internet and find the original article easily, so, I dont´t understand why do you have to offend me that way. I hope you can forgive my mate's fault. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IO-13-u.mendez (talk • contribs) 16:46, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Sorry if you feel insulted but you certainly did not make it clear in your first message what the exercise was. In any case: a) what on earth does "adecuating" mean?? b) you still deserve very low marks because Wikia uses the same style as Wikipedia - despite 19 edits the difference between User:OI-13-a.cano/sandbox and the "hole" source on Wikia are negligible. The same probably goes for your page. Deletion review is available to you if you still feel aggrieved. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:40, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Muzaffarpur

Reference: Government Ploytechnic, Muzaffarpur has been deleted on March 18, 2014 by RHaworth. This page should not have been speedily deleted because the author did not intend to leave it that short. This was just the first line and the subsequent material on the subject was about to come later on. It was delayed for some of it was disputed and the author was in the process of clarifying those portions which were under dispute with others.

Here, the author wishes to state that he is new at editing or creating any articles for Wikipedia and, therefore, expects a reasonable time limit before deletion of new posts. As is evident, there is no such page on the subject despite it being one of the best technical institutions in the region. Having studied there, the author is interested in having a page for the same and a research is underway so as to put only that data which is true/verifiable rather than filling it with irrelevant/contestable data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Navinkroy (talk • contribs) 15:27, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

  • It is extremely unwise to start an article in mainspace. It is also very bad style to write about oneself in the third person on talk pages - you should state simply "I am new at editing …". I have restored it to User:Navinkroy/sandbox. Do not move it back until it is a proper and properly referenced article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:40, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Unfelicitous forking

Roger Haworth, Will you clarify what you mean by "deleted to make way for move" on the article Felicia Rice? Move to where? If deleted for reasons I need to fix and resubmit, will you clarify? [Editor's summary: G6: Deleted to make way for move"] Thanks for your time, Caseywalk (talk) 15:53, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

  • You have seen the words "deleted to make way for move" but apparently you have not seen, 17 seconds later, the words "86 revisions restored". Maintaining multiple copies of an article is bad practise. All I did was to merge two pages - "deleted to make way for move" followed by restore is the only way this can be done with the mediawiki software. Check your contribs history. I assure you that all your edits are visible. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:40, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Danger Bob

Street performer Danger Bob fire breathing

Hello RHaworth, wow, you guys move fast! well the Internet tends too, I prefer to make haste not speed, but as I live in Sicily(Italy) I would have had to stay up all night to attempt save the page I was building: Danger Bob.

I guess we are on different time lines. Anyway just to recapitulate it seems primarily that someone objected to my linking a photo, the one seen here, of the Danger Bob personality (presently publicly well known only in Sicily [1]) too the page I was attempting to create.

|My reasons for creating the link where not for self promotion but because a message was displayed on the page saying that it was an Orphan and to do something about it... so I did, sorry for the offense caused but it seemed like a logical course of action to me (last night).

Obviously this was just a minor problem to the page that has been deleted, I requested that it not be because I believe that it is a valid contribution to a Encyclopedia that even includes pages for all the characters from The Super Mario bros like Bowser (character), not that I have anything against that, its just that they are not flesh and blood, maybe the people at Nintendo would disagree, those guys got rich from those pixels!.

Danger Bob is probably not going to change the world or save lives though he has amused a lot of people here in Sicily and laughter is a great healer. The only aspect of Danger Bob that I personally would like to subtly promote is the not for profit open school project, everything else is just information about his inventions and manifestations. Having said that it seems that anybody looking for promotion would visit the website nominated in the external links, so self promotion is totally unnecessary, the original page may have implicated otherwise due too my ineptness, the time limit and pressure from the site bots to find references and adoptive pages.

I would like to build a revised version of the page with your or somebody else's collaboration, I don't want to waste anyones time, waste bandwidth or walk down the alley of self promotion (I'm not a promoter), I would guess that not many Sicilians read the English Wikipedia anyway so in that case I would only be wasting my own time!.

All the best, and please let me know what you think as I am anxious to get Danger Bob reinstated. Dangerfirebob (talk) 19:29, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

  • The photo had nothing to do with the reasons for deletion - it was deleted as blatant advertising. As I have said above, it is very bad style to write about oneself in the third person on talk pages. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks you are notable and writes about you here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:40, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Does this mean that when I find one of my photos used on here, that I am not allowed to tag it with my stage name? and does it mean also that in the eventuality that someone writes a page about one of my characters I am not authorized to edit or correct its content? Obviously this must be the case, sorry but I think we need some kind of change of policy here because these kind of rules lead to dishonesty.

Danger Bob is a character that I have created, anybody can become him, in fact some of my shows have been performed by other persons, so strictly speaking I am not writing about myself, but about a character I have created, I have used several other names in my long career as an entertainer.

About a week ago since I vaguely remembered uploading a couple of photos here some 9 years ago that I found to be intact and in use, then on a whim I looked for Danger Bob and the site promptly told me that I could create the page, anybody can, so I did unaware of the stress it would cause.

Blatant? yes, well honestly autobiographical anyway. Advertising, no, not intentionally, though I was amazed to see the changed results from the google and yahoo search engines, an immediate effect, that explains why less honest people are paying editors[2]. Your barking dog tactics to frighten off the meek newbies surely promotes that kind of thing, leaving lots of space for big corporations and their real mass advertising campaigns. For Example you could politely redirect offenders too another wiki or databases that suits their needs for registration of accomplishments.

I doubt that a great many of the pages here are written and edited by people with no COI, my personal views aside, I am astounded by the legality of it all, tell me how can it be possible to write the biography of a living person without their permission, knowledge and collaboration? Tell me a straightforward answer to that and I might let the issue go without further to do. Because I'm not sure I would be too happy about someone I didn't even know writing about Danger Bob, blatant plagiarism thats what that would be. Then there is the issue of identity theft, registered trade names etc. Thank you for your interaction anyway it has been illuminating. Dangerfirebob (talk) 23:45, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for your time, I will leave the photo as it is, you and Robynthehode (talk · contribs) can do with it what you see fit, you guys know who I am now, after all it is in the public domain! and you're right I do tend to let my pen run on too long at times, I do love writing you see. I have given up trying and tend to do things instead. Dangerfirebob (talk) 11:00, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Just thought I'd make a couple of comments as my request for Dangerfirebob page deletion and changes to photo tag has resulted in the above discussion. Dangerfirebob's page may not have been intended to be self promotion but it clearly was according to wikipedia guidelines. Dangerfirebob misunderstands the meaning of self promotion in relation to wikipedia.WP:COI He and all editors should read the wikipedia guidelines on editing before creating pages. We all make mistakes in our editing but the article was a clear case of self promotion (whether it was a named performance character or not). Photos should not be tagged with names of non-notable people.WP:N It can just be a way of self promotion. An encyclopedia is not the place for such material. As regards Dangerfirebob's comment about other editors helping new editors to find places for their non wikipedia style articles - although it is nice to help it is not up to us to suggest places for such material - but here is one suggestion - why not start a blog? Dangerfirebob also misunderstands what biographical writing is about. Anyone can write a biography about a living person.WP:BLP It is poorly researched biographies that are inaccurate or possibly libelous that are the problem. Writing a biography about someone else without their contribution or knowledge is not plagiarism (look up the meaning of the word). Hope all this clarifies some points regarding wikipedia for Dangerfirebob (copy of this placed on his talk page). Robynthehode (talk) 08:41, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I learn by my mistakes, thank you for your link to WP:COI, I think what I did comes under the Citing yourself section and it seems that you must add the term WP:SELFPUB to third person citations that are relevant, as to notability: humbly speaking I have been in several magazines and newspapers though its not so easy to find the articles which are all non British or American, instead French, Italian and even Polish! Before daring to edit I did read WP:5 and was inspired by WP:IAR, maybe I did take boldness to the next level but nobody got hurt, only mildly stressed maybe. As to the rest I do have a few blog posts at various locations on the net and personally prefer autobiographies. Be sure to steal from the rich Robynthehode my reference to plagiarism was badly placed and mere annoyance at the theft of my stage name by powers beyond my control. Wikipedia would put a stop to that, but it is not my place to decide nor of such great importance, after all we live in uncertain times.

(talk page stalker) The "NC" term of that licensing makes it non-free for purposes of wikipedia. Fair use is the only way that image would be allowed. I haven't looked more deeply at the proposed use-case or claimed FURationale. — User:DMacks (talk) 06:23, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

User:DMacks, I loaded it up to wiki as a non free fair use rational image under the released http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ - please explain why that is a immediate deletion under WP:G12 : Unambiguous copyright infringement of {{{url}}}) Mosfetfaser (talk) 06:31, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

I likely would have left it at CSD F7. Note that "free/non-free" is a bright line; once it's even "a little" non-free ("just NC" of otherwise CC), it's subject to all the same strict requirements of all non-free types. But I would also be on the fence about the non-replaceability claim, since he has only recently (?) become unavailable for photography, and prior to that was a public persona. Wikipedia:Deletion review is likely the next step after talking to the deleting admin. DMacks (talk) 06:51, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

cool, ta for your comments about WP:F7, I am still awaiting comments from User:RHaworth the speedy deletor. do they still agree with their position when they speedily deleted the pic for this reason, RHaworth (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Jeremy Hammond.jpg (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of {{{url}}}) - if they do not, please undelete the pic Mosfetfaser (talk) 08:06, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

No reply from you at all to my questions to you RHaworth? you claimed WP:G12 : Unambiguous copyright infringement of {{{url}}}) - could you please explain your reasons for immediate deletion? Do you still assert that my uploaded pic was an "Unambiguous copyright infringement of {{{url}}}) ? - others comments that the file was not free enough to be used in the article are acceptable but your allegation that I added a pic that was a "Unambiguous copyright infringement" was wrong and you should retract it, I hope you will - Mosfetfaser (talk) 06:16, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Don't be impatient. OK, there has been a small backlog on my replies here. But you are being dealt with in order of entry. I accept that this edit was just clumsiness but changing another editor's message is a serious offence. Please be more careful.
As to the image - what a lot of waffle above. OK, copyvio was not quite the right deletion reason.

You also cited not enough independent sources which was factually wrong as 4 independent sources were listed and these 4 independent sources are the same ones used by many of the other Linux distributions you have listed on Wikipedia. PC/OpenSystems LLC now owns the copyright, they market a product with that name and would like to see the article updated. Ldavidson121975 (talk) 06:37, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Japanese Invasion of Batan Island deletion?

Hello RHaworth, I'm just here to let you know you deleted a page of mine Japanese Invasion of Batan Island, claiming that it was a duplicate. I would like to let you know that it wasn't, as posted on the talk page of the article. You are confusing it with the Battle of Bataan. Mine is the Japanese Invasion of Batan Island. It's a real place. Despite having similar names, the invasions took place almost a month apart (though both in the Philippines). Could you please un-delete it, if possible, because I would rather not have to recreate it, though I will if you can't. Additionally, here are some links to Batan Island: [8] and Batan Island.

Both of these mention that it was the first island invaded in the Philippines Campaign (1941-42), as I did in my article. Additionally, the Philippines Campaign (1941-42) article itself mentions the attack on Batan Island.

Again, I understand the mistake of confusing the places, as they have similar names, but would like you to restore my article. Thanks, Cnd474747 (talk) 19:04, 19 March 2014 (UTC)Cnd474747

Customs4U

Hi, I created Customs4U page and it was speedily deleted because of G11 and A7 criteria but there are several independent references which covers the topic in depth which shows notability. At least this can be discussed in Afd but I don't think the A7 criteria applies for the article. For G11 criteria, I can improve the article. Can you please, check it and let me know if it can be improved for inclusion? Thanks. -- Talpatra (talk) 05:08, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

For dubious notability I think Afd is better option. In my view, the A7 criteria does not apply at all. Anyways, thanks for the DRV advice.--Talpatra (talk) 07:30, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted you to know that I deleted this page after the proposed deletion expired, but an IP requested that it be restored (the IP suggested that the deletion request was from a competitor that "thought it funny" but I set them straight on that). Since it was just a proposed deletion, I restored it, but feel free to bring it to AfD if you still believe it doesn't meet our notability criteria (I warned the IP that I thought it doesn't, hence why I deleted it in the first place). -- Atama頭 17:44, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Request for deleted article text

Hello RHaworth,

I would appreciate the text of a deleted article. If you have a copy, could you please reply? Thanks! Transistron. — Microdesigns2000 (talk) 03:18, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Content was:
Transistron was the name given by Herbert Mataré and to what is now known as the transistor. Herbert Mataré and Heinrich Welker, employees of the Parisian branch of Westinghouse announced the development of the "Transistron" in late 1948. This announcement was made after the publication of the invention of the transistor at Bell Labs but the issue of priority remains unsolved today. Like the transistor, the Transistron was based on the semiconductor germanium.

Center of Government

Hi, this is regarding the deletion of Center of Government, which you considered duplicated the page "Government". As the many references included in the page showed, this is a separate concept, as it is referring to a separate "thing" (not the government in general, but only those institutions that provide direct support to the Chief Executive -i.e., Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of the Presidency, etc.). There is a bunch of academic literature on this topic (cited in the deleted page), and many international organizations (OECD, World Bank, IADB, etc.) have projects about it (they were also linked in the page). I'm not sure what additional sources could be needed to show that "Center of Government" and "Government" are, in fact, different things. The content of the page was completely different. Please let me know your views on this. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrinkTheKoolAid (talk • contribs) 20:23, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

  • I have restored this to User:DrinkTheKoolAid/Center of Government. Please note the summary to this edit: restoring speedy deletion tag, since the creator of the article has declined the option of editing in userspace, and instead has re-created the article here unchanged. By all means improve this article but do not move or, worse, copy&paste it to mainspace. If it gets approved, someone else (like me) will move it for you. Seek approval for this article either at talk:government or deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:28, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
    • Dear RHaworth, I don't think that speedy deletion was appropriate in this context. The article might be worth a merge, and it's not obvious (to me, at least) that it's duplicative of government. In any event, I think wp:a10 is only for cases where the text is literally identical, or nearly identical, to another article, and it found under another name that is not a viable redirect. I take issue with your deletion, and would like you to put it back. If you want, you can put it up for AfD after restoration, but if you do, I will be voting to keep or merge. -- Y not? 20:22, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
It was appropriate, but it's already here anyway. Stop pestering :-) DP 20:38, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

ShopYourWay

Hello RHaworth, I'm not sure I understand why you deleted the page on ShopYourWay - it's a living, active site, with millions of users. The full description of what's it about appears on the site itself, and we don't want content duplication on Wikipedia. In addition, relating to the A7/Significance claim: there is an Alexa rank (around 8000 globally, 1300 US, polled today) mentioned on the page which is a generally a good indication of significance (exposing the real number of users is not possible due to business restrictions). The page included the highlights and main information on the site. Can you please explain the reason this was removed? Gadilif

Yes, it was a misunderstanding by me. I misinterpreted what the meaning of signing was, and I thought the sinebot was signing because I made some sort of mistake, so I removed it - I didn't intend to cause any issues, just wanted the text to be clearer and the signature code looked messy to me (I'm an engineer, and I like things to look tidy, sorry...). I hope I'm doing it correctly now. Gadilif (talk) 06:22, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

  • I suspect you have a COI so please search this page for "kindly". The article contained absolutely no independent evidence of notability. You could have added a link to the Alexa rank but did not do so. It contained an unwanted infobox suggesting that it has 858 stores! But it has been restored to User:Seithat/ShopYourWay so enjoy. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:13, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Dog meat consumption in South Korea

I don't think the article should have been deleted. The speedy tagger is very new, and likely not aware of the possibility of reverse copyvios. There are really no edits large enough to be copy pasted. I see an article built bit by bit. I think the alleged copyvio are in fact reverse copyvios. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:19, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

See also: Talk:Dog meat consumption in South Korea#Contested deletion. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:19, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

It seems to me strange that, upon finding copyvios, efforts were not taken to simply fix the problem rather than delete it. Let the deletion be undone and the specific copyvios be removed and replaced with a fair summary of the content.
Furthermore, in all my years as a Wikipedian, I have never seen a long-standing article deleted in this way. Always, time was allowed for fact-finding and discussion between the proposal and any deletion. I would very much like to know how it is possible that this was done in this way and steps betaken to ensure that it not be done in this way again, as this is surely improper.

Hi RHaworth. You declined the speedy deletion request of the redirect at Frank Dillane in this edit.

  • Gosh, three restores by me and another delete of mine restored by someone else! Have I been lapsing? I am sure there is a variant of the AfC "accepted" tag which says "accepted but can't move because …".

Care for the Wild International

You have speedily deleted the article I created this morning despite the fact that it did not, in my view, fall among the criteria for speedy deletion. Criterion A7 states "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance" and the article stated at that time it was tagged "Care for the Wild International is an animal charity, a non-governmental organization established in 1984 and based in the United Kingdom. Its stated aim is to "rescue, protect and defend animals in need around the globe".[1] It was therefore incorrect to tag it for speedy deletion on the basis of criterion A7 as, "if the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied".

By the time you deleted the article it explained that this international charity had an annual income of £700,000 and I had found two outside references beside the charity's own website which I had added. I am amazed that you thought it appropriate to speedily delete it. Shocked really. It's not that I had a particular interest in the subject, but that you chose to delete it in such a cavalier fashion without any discussion. Perhaps you could explain.

The Cambridge Institute of International Education

Hello,

I was hoping you could help me edit the page I tried to create so that it successfully meets all of Wikipedia's guidelines.

The page I am referencing is titled "The Cambridge Institute of International Education." From my understanding, the page was deleted because I borrowed the description from our website (which, incidentally, I also wrote). Assuming I create new original content for the Cambridge page and cite the following Wall Street Journal article, would the article meet the requirements? http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324731304578193603834981298

Deletion of User Page .digamma/null

You have chosen to delete my user page, [[.digamma/null]] (.digamma/null) under the authorization of policy G1. Patent nonsense (CSD-G1). It appears this deletion was an error according to a noteworthy exception identified within the specifics of this policy: "This excludes the sandbox and pages in the user namespace". As such, this particular deletion falls outside the authorization afforded by the CSD-G1 policy.

Additionally, acceptable content on User Pages allows for draft works, works intent for future research, and original work. User Page content prohibited includes excessive original work, pages that look like project pages, pages that violate copyright, and blogs. My user page would classify as an essay, notably similar to Keφr's essays. My user page was also not a high profile article and doesn't pose a threat to other readers.

I was surprised to discover this deletion was not discussed on my user talk page before deletion. As explained by practices for deleting other's user pages, I feel this was an attack, lacking this discussion prior to the actual deletion ("Take special care to speak appropriately and explain the concern; many users will take it as a personal affront or attack if an unknown user announces they are going to delete a userspace image or page and an uncivil or heavy duty approach can discourage new users who are unaware of expectations and might enjoy contributing.") and poignantly lacked the good faith stewardship practices of Wikipedians. I realize the Speedy Deletion policy indicates deletion could occur immediately. However, based on the policy for deletion of other's User Pages, it appears discussion is necessitated prior to deletion. I can confirm that I received notification of the speedy deletion tag on my user page promptly from Wikipedia's mail servers due in part by my profile's notification preferences.

In conclusion, I formally request that my user page be restored from the deletion archive or offer an explanation as to why this deletion did not apply to the CSD-G1 exception, violates the Wikipedia User Page content policy, is high profile/visibility, and how it differs from Keφr's essays. .digamma (talk) 00:20, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
