Free Association Books

Hi. In editing another article I came across the publisher Free Association Books. On investigating I found that there had been an article on that whch was deleted by you some time ago, doubtless on entirely correct notability grounds. There are, however, about 46 references to Free Association Books in other articles, all unlinked. If that had been realised at the time I guess it might have had a considerable effect on the notability discussion. So is it possible that I could get a sight of the deleted article, and perhaps the deletion discussion page, with a view of perhaps resurrecting it after appropriate wikification? SamuelTheGhost (talk) 18:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi! You appear to be slightly mistaken - there was no deletion discussion on this particular article. It was deleted under WP:PROD, so I'll just restore it for you. :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 18:40, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, that's now been restored :) Enjoy editing it! Stwalkerster [ talk ] 18:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Many thanks. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 18:56, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Article deletion explanation requested

You had deleted an article named Nagariks, associated with lokanarkavu page? may i know why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.164.137.42 (talk) 04:16, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Because the article seemed like patent nonsense, and had absolutely no references from reliable sources to back up it's claims. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 13:48, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Null edit script

Don't worry, and thanks for running the script on the toolserver; far more efficient! Richard⁰⁶¹² 19:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

ACC problem

• The following conversation has taken place

ACC

Hello. I see you have requested access to use the ACC tool. Please confirm the user that requested access is indeed you. Please leave a message here confirming this and I, or one of the other tool admins will grant you access if we see that you fit the criteria to use it. Not you? Please still leave a message. Thanks for wanting to help out! ѕwirlвoy ₪ 22:09, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

 Done Approved. Have fun and good luck! ѕwirlвoy ₪

Please make sure you're logging in here. Have a fantastic day! ѕwirlвoy ₪ 16:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry Paste, maybe Stwalkerster can help you. ѕwirlвoy ₪ 17:21, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

• • You will see that ѕwirlвoy ₪ thinks you may be able to help. I cannot get into the ACC tool as it says that a user Paste is already registered and yet I have not done so. Also there is no sign of a user Paste in the list that shows all the users! I am concerned at the possibility that someone is using my name, but then it may just as easily be a bug. Can you assist, forgive me for asking like this out of the blue as it were but your name is the only one suggested. Many thanks. Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 22:51, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I have found a user on the tool who registered using the on-wiki name of "paste" [1]. Other things to check are:

• Are you using the right username (the registered username was "access")
• Are you using the login form rather than the registration form, or even the request form?

If the answer is neither of these, get back to me, and I'll see if I can diagnose the problem for you. :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 18:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for your help so far. That 'Paste' certainly seems to be me as it links to my user page. I have however no recollection of registering with the user name 'Access' and certainly don't know the password to log in under that name! Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 19:25, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Hmm.... You might want to try a password reset. You can do this by clicking the "Forgot password" link underneath the login form on the tool. It will ask you for your username and email address on the tool. If this fails, I do have another idea , but let's hope this works before considering that :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 19:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
    • Afraid not, I've tried that! Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 19:45, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
      • OK, my next idea is to delete your account, and let you re-make it from scratch, then I'll activate the account for you. Is this OK with you? Stwalkerster [ talk ] 19:54, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
        • That sounds a good idea, thanks.Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 08:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
          • OK, the user has been deleted from the database. Please recreate the user with information you will remember, then poke me to activate your account, if someone doesn't beat me to it :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 14:43, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
            • Thanks, I think I've registered correctly now as paste. RegardsPaste _{Let’s have a chat.} 21:32, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
              • OK, I've activated your account - you should be able to log in properly to the tool now :) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 21:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
• Many thanks, all OK, your patience is appreciated! Paste _{Let’s have a chat.} 22:02, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
