Burning Black Pt2

Good Morning.

I've tried to create the page Burning_black many times, respecting all the rules about creation, management etc. but every time appears to me the deletion of an admin that says to me "Article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". I've used as a template, the wikipedia page of many other band that are perfectly online and i don't know why my page has this kind of problem. Furthermore, my page now is blocked, so i can't edit it anymore. What should i do now? For the band is really important to get the wiki page.

Thank you in advance for your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericantonello1983 (talk • contribs) 12:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I've answered your question, above. Was there something more you wanted to know? TN X Man 12:43, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

About deletion of article StNotepad Touch

Hi

Thanks for your immidiate reply, what about the article written FamousWhy by their editors http://articles.famouswhy.com/stnotepad__the_future_of_text_editors/ ?

Thanks and Regards, Rodriguezjuanjose52 (talk) 16:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

It's a possible start, but it's really not enough to support an article. TN X Man 16:48, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

About deletion of article StNotepad Touch

Hi,

Sorry for disturbing you again. I just found a french website which has discussed about StNotepad Touch. I hope this is a reliable source.

French link:- http://www.blogeee.net/2010/12/repenser-les-raccourcis-sur-les-interfaces-tactiles/

Translated link:- http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogeee.net%2F2010%2F12%2Frepenser-les-raccourcis-sur-les-interfaces-tactiles%2F

If this is not reliable, I will not disturb you until I found a best source.

Thanks and Regards, Rodriguezjuanjose52 (talk) 17:50, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Doubtful: first it's a blog; second it does not provide significant coverage as required for notability. – ukexpat (talk) 18:13, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi TnXMan and ukexpat,

Please consider the source in the above page, http://www.karizmatic.fr/des-gestes-multitouch-pour-aller-plus-vite/ http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.karizmatic.fr%2Fdes-gestes-multitouch-pour-aller-plus-vite%2F

Thanks and Regards, Rodriguezjuanjose52 (talk) 18:31, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I admire your tenacity but same problem, it's a blog and, generally speaking, blogs are not not reliable sources. I think you may just have to accept that the subject is not (yet) notable, but that doesn't mean that it may not be some time in the future. – ukexpat (talk) 18:40, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

I see you were once involved in the SP investigation for User:Tony254trill, now I believe they have returned in the form of User:Natalie Bakerfield. Could you check this out? Candy o32 - Merry CHRISTmas :) 15:17, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I can, but the best way to follow up on this is to file a SPI case. This will keep everything in one place and make it easier to track in the future. If you need assistance in filing a new case, just let me know! TN X Man 15:19, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

YouMeBot

Still scratching my head over this one. Was going to block today myself if a more straightforward answer was not forthcoming. What would a "read-only" bot even need an account for if it was, as they claimed, never going to edit a page? Something just doesn't add up there... Beeblebrox (talk) 21:21, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

...which is exactly why I blocked it. :) TN X Man 21:53, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Random interjection: Bot flags are good for getting larger amounts of results back from the server per request and there have been BRFAs approved for such reasons when the proposed tasks were infeasible to run offline. Of course, blocking a read-only bot would have no effect on it so there's no harm done even if it was legit. VernoWhitney (talk) 22:05, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Huh. Well that answers that part of it. I don't really know anything about the details of how bots operate. The remaining question would be why they wouldn't declare an "owner," but I suspect we will just have to let that go. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:09, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Something fishy is/was going on. However, if they are legit, I'm sure an explanation will be forthcoming. TN X Man 12:50, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again :-)

For this. Best wishes for Christmas and have a fantastic new year. Sincerely. Wifione _.......^{Leave a message} 14:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Disciple (Christianity)

Please note that what I am adding to Disciple (Christianity) is sourced and referenced. Alan347 (talk) 15:35, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

No, it's not. You're adding original research and evangelizing besides. What part of "by giving a litany of shocking comparisons between various, apparent socio-political and socio-economic realities versus the meaning of being his disciple." is sourced and not original research? Continuing to add this material is not a good idea. TN X Man 15:39, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Declining unblock of user 2D3D

Hey, I see you just declined USER:2D3D's request for unblock. I'm not sure if you noticed that the user attempted to deal with the sockpuppetry and legal threat issue in a message below the unblock request here (though you might want to look at the final version for better formatting).

A mention in The Onion is not trivial but is considered a significant measurement of fame. In addition, you deleted only part of what had been added, creating an incomplete sentence, which makes it appear that you weren't really reading and editing, just reacting.

Blocks

I am writing on behalf of students from a Singapore institution. We had been trying to create wikipedia accounts. Unfortunately, our IP has been range blocked by you.

The reason given was "checkuserblock".

Many of our students are active contributors to Wikipedia, and we feel that indiscriminate IP block serves to punish innocent users altogether with users who commit vandalism.

Furthermore, we suggest that when you block users or IP you should give real reasons, citing instances of vandalism (i.e., giving examples of articles being previously vandalized), rather than just writing a vague line of "checkuserblock", or "this IP has been violating Wikipedia policy." Please do point out which policy the users have violated, rather than just giving a link directing us to a page with long list of Wikipedia policy.

Otherwise, how can we be sure that Wikipedia remains open, not subject to indiscriminate blocking, unjudicial use of administrators' powers, and protected against censorship hiding behind the line "violating Wikipedia policy"? How can we trust that information in Wikipedia is not politically biased, when unindentified administrators can block users and IP addresses from editing, without giving real, specific reasons? Most importantly, how can we trust you that you are not abusing your priviledges as an administrator?

Thank you for your attention.

Regards,

TCL

Biography question

Small89fryy (talk) 21:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC) Is this an appropriate page for a biography? I don't believe it is promoting anything, I am just trying to create a biography so people know who he is.

Selim A. Bassoul is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Middleby Corporation, commercial foodservice and cooking equipment. One out of three restaurants around the world use Middleby products in their kitchens.

Under the leadership of Mr. Bassoul, The Middleby Corporation is recognized as one of the best-performing public companies in the world. It has been named a “Best Small Company” by Forbes, one of Fortune Magazine’s “Fastest Growing Companies” and earned a spot for the past five years on the Business Week “Hot Growth Companies” list.

Middleby has made nearly twenty successful acquisitions around the world during the past five years. Middleby is a provider of restaurant cooking equipment in China, India and Latin America with manufacturing in Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, China, Philippines and Canada. U.S. manufacturing facilities are in Illinois, New Hampshire, Vermont, North Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Michigan, California, Missouri.

Mr. Bassoul joined The Middleby Corporation in 1996 as President of the company’s Southbend division. He became Chief Operating Officer in 1999 and was named Chief Executive in 2000 and Chairman of the Board in 2004. Prior to joining Middleby, Mr. Bassoul held senior positions with Premark, Inc., a unit of Illinois Tool Works. Before entering the foodservice industry, Mr. Bassoul worked in healthcare for American Hospital Supply and Baxter Healthcare in various positions including mergers and acquisitions, corporate planning and regional director in the Middle East and Africa. He also was the Managing Director of Baxter in China. Mr. Bassoul started his career at Ernst & Young in the Middle East.

Mr. Bassoul takes pride in his philanthropic endeavors. He and his wife have contributed to many U.S. culinary institutes as well as Clearbook and The Little City Foundation. They have created a foundation to assist single mothers in the Middle East and they helped build the emergency medical center of Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem.

Mr. Bassoul is on the Board of Directors of the Chicago Urban League and the Board of Trustees of the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. He serves on the Dean’s Council of the Kellogg Northwestern School of Management and the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and the NYU Steinhardt School of Communications. Currently, he serves on the Board of Directors of Confluence Watermark, Pan Am Flight Academy and the Clipper Corporation.

Mr. Bassoul has been featured on The PBS Nightly Business Report, CNBC and Bloomberg News. He has been profiled in Forbes, Fortune, Barron's, Business Week, Investor's Business Daily, Crain's Chicago Business and The Chicago Tribune. The Middleby story and Mr. Bassoul's results-oriented management style has been used as a case study in several top business books, most recently Mastering the Essentials of High-Growth Companies (2010) by bestselling author David G. Thomson and at the Harvard Business school.

Mr. Bassoul has been awarded the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award and the Young President’s Organization (YPO) International Legacy Award. He is a member of the Chicago area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame. He has been both a national and world judge for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

A native of Lebanon, Mr. Bassoul moved to the United States to continue his postgraduate education at the Northwestern University Kellogg School of Management where he earned his M.B.A. in finance and marketing and a certificate in accounting. Before coming to the U.S., Mr. Bassoul attended the American University of Beirut where he received a B.A. in Business Administration with Distinction and was the recipient of the David Dodge Scholar Award.

Small89fryy (talk) 21:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)Please let me know! Thanks!

Take a look at WP:BIO and WP:SPAM. Do you have reliable sources to demonstrate that Bassoul is notable as described in those guidelines? If you do, then I suggest that you use the article creation wizard to create a draft in your userspace, then make a request at Requests for feedback for the community to review it. – ukexpat (talk) 22:35, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Corporate Air (Australia)

Good morning, I notice that you ahve deleted the page I setup for Corporate Air (Australia). This page is related to the company I work for but have no owenership of. I can see not difference between this page and similar pages such as - Qantas Airlines Qantas - Virgin Blue Virgin Blue - Brindabella Airlines Brindabella Airlines - Qantas Link Qantas link They are all basically advertising their company. Please re-instate this site or remove all the above sites plus any other airline. Regards Rob Boyes Gullboy12--Gullboy12 (talk) 22:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Gents, I have read both artilces and I am still at a loss to see why the site mentioned above are acceptable and the Corporate Air page is not, they are all basically advertising there company like 99% of all company pages on Wikipedia are. What you define as notable I consider as advertising or trash and vise versa. Please re-instate the page. Thanks Gullboy12--Gullboy12 (talk) 23:14, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Proxies? or meatpuppet vandalism?

There's been a nasty spate of vandalism over at Scrooge McDuck, with piles of UK addresses hitting the article. They are all different networks, and span different countries within the UK, so I haven't blocked anyone, as they all appear dynamic. Could you take a quick peek and see if there's anything to lead you to believe it's one user using open proxies? If so, I'll go ahead and block the IPs as open proxies.

Sir,

Recently the Office of Parth Vaidya, India, created an article on the National Environment Award Gold Medalist H'ble Parth Vaidya. Unfortunately it was deleted by you. Vaidya Sir has been working in the social field of Environment Conservation since many years & has received 3 International, 5 National Govt Awards for the same. The details of the same had been included in the article. The proofs of these could be provided upon request.

Kindly note that the page hasn't been created for Advertising/Promotion. It is an Inspirational Article & aims to ignite the feeling of Environment Conservation among the youth.

Wikipedia is expected to think over this novel topic & act as per.

DJ Fly speedy deletion

Why did you delete this page? It is legitimate...what guidelines did it not follow? Jflynt1 (talk) 17:24, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the page did not indicate why the person was notable enough to warrant an article. I would suggest reading our guide to your first article and writing a draft in your userspace so you work on improving it. TN X Man 17:25, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I was pretty certain that it was clear why it was notable. I mentioned the influence by successful artists and included the current standing at fourth on the ReverbNation charts for Indiana. Does this not constitute as notable? Jflynt1 (talk) 17:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but it doesn't. Notability on Wikipedia is a different concept than the dictionary definition. In order to be notable enough to have an article, the person must have received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. TN X Man 17:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Well are the references and external links that I provided on the page not coverage from independent reliable sources? They are certainly reliable websites, and DJ Fly received coverage on them. Jflynt1 (talk) 18:12, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

All I see for external websites is links to facebook, wix.com, and Reverbnation, and all of the pages on those websites were written for or by him. So, basically, there's no external coverage at all and therefore DJ Fly is not Wikipedia-notable. —Soap— 18:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

The page did not indicate why the group was notable enough to warrant an article. I would suggest reading our guide to writing your first article. TN X Man 20:10, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

clearify on what you mean by "notable" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brannonharper (talk • contribs) 20:14, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

That's covered under WP:BAND. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Notable on Wikipedia means the group has received significant coverage in independent reliable sources (which excludes self-published sources like blogs, Facebook accounts, Twitter posts, etc.). TN X Man 20:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

A question/Guidance

Hello there; I am Ani MSc student of computer science. Since my supervisor wanted us t o create a Wikipedia page, I have started a topic under name of ISLAB(Intelligence Systems Laboratory). And you deleted it by the criteria named "A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content))" and "‎ (A7 (web): Web content; doesn't indicate importance/significance)"... The content of page was referring to a brief introduction for this laboratory as it is directly by permission of my supervisor so we didn't have any copyright issues as well, but you had deleted it neither because of copyright access problem and/or the content type. Now I have a question Is creating this kind of pages really unimportance according to Wikipedia terms or did I missed something like reference or etc. for this purpose?

Thanks for your considerations — Preceding unsigned comment added by Animgr (talk • contribs) 09:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Just passing by: the page Wikipedia:Starting an article has some useful tips. In general, an article, even in its early stages, needs to indicate why the subject is notable (per Wikipedia:Notability), hopefully with some secondary references to reliable sources (that is, independent publications that discuss the subject at some length and in some depth). If a lab, for instance, is famous for doing a particular kind of analysis really well, that should constitute a claim to notability. Since I am not an administrator I cannot see the content of the article you proposed so I can't comment on content, but looking at the website I don't really see how notability by our standards can be established, and this Google search doesn't offer much help either.
