Deletion[edit]

Please do not delete due to supposed copyright issues from your "fast deletion" detection system.

I am the same person that wrote the biography description of Chris Seeman on both http://www.merpcon.com/merpcon-guest-speakers-biographies/ and http://www.merp.com/essays/aboutchrisseeman .

Anything else I need to state, explain, prove that I have permission to do this since I'm the original author?

Thanks.

I have just sent an email regarding this to verify that I'm the original author of the biography articles from merp.com and merpcon.org. Please remove this from the speedy deletion process.

Kmleon 17:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)kmleon[reply]

I have also updated both original articles on merp.com and merpcon.org with the "Permission under the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Free_Documentation_License">GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL)</a> is given" tagline.

Anything else I need to do? Thanks.

Sorry I did not catch this dialog earlier. In addition to the Tolkien Music List, he was the publisher of a quarterly magazine that ran for 9 years called "Other Hands Magazine", the first issue in 1992 which included an interview with Laurie Battle of Tolkien Enterprises, the last issue being 2001 (ISSN: 1081-8359). This publication included contributions from many noted Tolkien contributors, scholars and published authors in addition to the usual "gamer fare", (two that come to mind are David Salo & Michael Martinez, to name just a fraction of the contributors). He has also had his contributions published in The Guild Companion and Other Minds Magazine. He was also editor (and frequent contributor) for Iron Crown Enterprises' Middle-earth Role-playing line, as well as for the Decipher Lord of the Rings Role-playing game series. Is it necessary to first create a wiki entry for the 9 years long publication Other Hands Magazine, to then have the connection with the name? Thank you.

Unfortunately I was very late in noticing the deletion.

Professor Chris Seeman was an editor for Iron Crown Enterprises involved with dozens of their title releases including 1st and 2nd edition, publisher of Other Hands Magazine from 1992 through 2001, and author of the following ICE MERP and Decipher LotR rpg books:

   * Kin-strife (1995)
   * Southern Gondor: The Land (1996)
   * Southern Gondor: The People (1996)
   * The Northern Waste (1997)
   * Hands of the Healer (1997)
   * Fell Beasts and Wondrous Magic (2003)
   * Moria (2003)

If this article were to be re-created, would this be sufficient to prevent another re-deletion? Kmleon (talk) 08:15, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Userfying[edit]

I have a good source for Chris Seeman. After a request to the closing admin went unanswered, I restored the article and userfied. I will be able to add some sourced content to this article later today. BOZ (talk) 14:38, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Professor of Theology?[edit]

BD2412, it may not be reliable at all, but this page indicates that he may indeed be a professor of theology. Regardless, this search seems to indicate he is known as a professor widely. BOZ (talk) 20:37, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: procedurally closed. Try WP:AFC or WP:DRV. Jenks24 (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Chris Seeman → Chris Seeman – The article was sent to AFD in 2008 and was in pretty bad shape at the time, and deleted with four unanimous responses. I restored the article to my user space last year and added a good reliable source and moved to the new Draft space. I am not certain if it is ready to go back into article space, but I feel it is worth discussing. If any other users can find additional sources to add, that would help with any outstanding notability issues. BOZ (talk) 21:22, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support, needs cleanup (particularly with link formatting) but the article is now sourced. bd2412 T 13:35, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I am not comfortable with RM being used for this purpose. This should either be handled by the WP:AFC project or WP:DRV. Jenks24 (talk) 12:50, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
