genuine question: how exactly was the sentence POV? :S ninety:one 18:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the source cited is a general act (not explicitly applying to only this force). By writing it the way you did, it disparaged members of the force and effectivley called them criminals for calling themselves police officers.  That is an interpretation of the act/law/whatever it was and wikipedia is not here to interpret it.  We can state that they are a constable service and not technically a police service that is fine but do it in a respectful/polite/NPOV manner instead of a fairly offensive manner.  Hope this helps. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 18:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ok, if that's how you interpreted it i'm sure others will have taken it even more so, though i didn't intend it like that. but now we're just descending into edit warring on the article... :( ninety:one 18:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Its cool, I am working on it now. I am trying to find a way to get both sides of content included as they both have valid perspective (and sources) in my opinion.Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 18:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

May I respectfully suggest that you are adopting a rather unhelpful attitude in some of your edits to the WPP article. You are fully entitled to your opinions about what is or is not encyclopedic, but your views are not any more valid than the views of other editors. Your sweeping deletion of whole sections (such as vehicles or staffing) would be better discussed on the talk page first. I strongly disagree with your views on the staffing section, for example. These sudden sweeping edits are often the cause of edit wars, and I'm sure we would all agree that those profit nobody at all. Could I urge a little more restraint, and conversation, please? Many thanks. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 18:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You are by all means welcome to revert my changes and start a discussion on the talk page. I believe strongly in WP:BOLD and at times WP:IAR, especially on small niche articles where there are only 1 or 2 editors who watch it/pay attention to it.  The removals are based on my experience with this project, more specifically, WP:NOT and other similar areas of this project.  I personally could care less about whatever police/constabulary service it is.  Do you see any other police forces listing all of their officers/vehicles?  That is often a good measure for the appropriateness of a section, especially for something like police services where there are many articles out there.  If you choose to address this on the articles talk page, I will gladly repond there as well and attempt to get further input from outside editors and wikiproject law enforcement. Chrislk02 Chris Kreider 19:01, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Based on your questioning of my actions, I have started a thread at wikiproject law enforcement to get other eyes to look at this and see if they agree or disagree with my actions. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 19:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Cromagnon (band)
Why, herro there. Noticed this article had been baleeted. I was wondering if there was any way to restore it. If it could be restored, I'm sure I could find a way to cite significance. For instance, a song from their first album "Orgasm" was recently covered by Japanese Avant-Garde band Ghost, as can be read Here. The verdict, senor? Albert Mond (talk) 4:43, 8 July 2008 AD.

Please explain
You have put two warnings for disruption on my talk page. I understand that the first one was for providing incorrect diffs for 3RR, for which I have duly apologized. It was my first instance of reporting a 3RR violation and since it is less than a month that I have joined the wikipedia, I really made a mistake identifying what contitutes a real 3RR voilation and how to generate these diffs.

But why you have put in a second warning. I am not beating a dead horse. I have already stepped away from the discussion. I am complaining about 'name-calling' and threatening which amount to bullying. I have a right to report if some one is abusive to me. I am sure that if a novice like me would have shown such kind of behaviour, you would have blocked him or at least warned him. Dab is abusive towards me and is still threatening me, why shouldn't I report. Why should I suffer this kind of behaviour from any one.

I am still not clear how and what mistake I made that deserved me a second warning ? Please explain so that I can understand my mistake and be able to work constructively Sindhian (talk) 06:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification
Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Chinese apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 17:51, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

List of French words and phrases used by English speakers
Hello, I'd like to be explained why the recent modifications I made on this page were undone. I think it is either because I created another section "Not used as such in French", an intermediate between what is used equally in French and English and what has no meaning in French, but in this case, why didn't you revoke everything I did since then? Or maybe it is because I offered a better translation of the phrase "je m'en fous" (I don't give a fuck / a damn): the anterior translation only said that it was "somewhat" rude, which is wrong. It is extremely rude in French, unlike the expression "je m'en fiche". In which case I wouldn't understand why the other edits were also undone and not this one alone. Also, I know I didn't offer an explanation in the edit box for every edit I did, but it is simply because in almost all the case I'm not editing the text, simply changing it from one category to another and it becomes boring to repeat time after time that I'm doing that. Last, I checked every expression I wasn't 100% sure (mostly in the online dictionary of the Académie française) so I'm pretty sure that all the edits I did are accurate.

If it is something else I did wrong, please do tell me so that I may know and correct my behaviour. Thanks for your understanding. 212.27.60.48 (talk) 23:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:
Thank you for your concern. Part of the reason I removed my comments was that I recognized that my language was a bit harsh (the accusation of edit warring was particularly not an assumption of good faith) and because halfway through I remembered the operative words more than three. In any case, this was a minor dispute and I thought it unfair that the editor be blocked for (what my assumption of good faith on his part told me) reverting the removal of content that he felt would be a contribution to the article. I felt that he had been blocked too soon after being warned of edit warring (since I assume that most new contributors have never read WP:3RR) and was being unfairly warned for vandalism (and again, what I saw as an honest attempt to contribute was clearly not edit warring in my perception). All I wanted was for the whole thing to slow down so that there might be some sort of discussion on his talkpage, but as he was blocked before that could happen (I also assume that they don't know that they can edit their talkpages while blocked, but I don't know if it tells you that as I've never been blocked) I felt frustrated as something I felt could have been avoided. Oh well.

I apologize that the manner of addressing my concern was not quite appropriate (i.e. demanding an apology, etc.). &mdash; scetoaux (T | C)  22:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

OTRS Request
Chris, Any chance you can help please - User:Russavia has added a number of images of russian airliners for example Image:Aeroflot Tupolev Tu-134 - CCCP-65976.jpg.

Loqui
Hi there! You recently deleted my page re: the above and I'm really not sure why. I realise that, where bands are concerned, you have to be alert however I'm not sure what makes this entry any less notable than, for example, any of the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_Hoof

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blueskins

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Disco

As this was my first article I'd be really grateful for any feedback as I'd hate to make the same mistake in future. I'd also be grateful if you could reinstate the article as I really can't see any substantive difference between it and any of the links above. Thanks for your time!

Speedy Deletion of Benjamin Covington
Hi, I noticed your edit summary of the above ("G3: Vandalism: dont think so") and just wondered what you meant! I nominated the article SPEEDY as it asserted notability ("he is the leading authority on everything, ever") so did not qualify for A7 - however, as he isn't the leading authority on everything, ever, I nominated this as G3 (vandalism) due to blatant misinformation.

Speedy deletion of 15 Minutes of Shame (Kristy Lee Cook song)
Hi Chris. I'm just curious about your A7 deletion of the above article. While I agree the article probably should be deleted, I'm just curious about your decision to speedy it. It has been discussed several times to expand A7 to songs and albums, but I have never seen any consensus to support the speedy deletion of these types of articles. The article did assert that the single charted, which is one of the (vague) criteria at WP:MUSIC. I believe there probably isn't "enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article", but the info could have been merged into the Album's article (which is also currently AFD) or the Artist's article.

To repeat, I'm mainly just curious if the use of A7 has been expanded by consensus that I'm not aware of, or if there's something else going on that I don't know about. I PROD or AfD these kind of articles (and "XYZ's 6th Studio Album") all the time, and if CSD is a viable alternative for this, it would be great. Thanks! Livitup (talk) 16:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you would like, I will undelete it and let you nominate it for AFD. I sometimes WP:IAR in situations like this.  I have seen many similar itesm go to AFD with overwhelming consensus to delete.  I am however not against undeleting it if you want to AFD or PROD it.  Just let me know. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 16:38, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No, thanks for offering though. Like I said, it would get deleted anyway. I was just more interested in how A7 was being applied. Most admins won't delete album or song articles on A7, since they are specifically excluded in A7. I was just wondering if something had changed. Thanks for the follow up. Livitup (talk) 16:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Nothing has explicitily changed, I just ignore the rules sometimes. If it was in error, it can always be undeleted.  Hope this helps! <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 16:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I was told by other users that if I had enough references, I should be ok. So I included many references to publications that they have been in.

First of all, the fact that an article has been nominated for deletion does not insulate it from speedy deletion, if speedy deletion is otherwise appropriate.

Speedy deletion of Scour
I disagree that Scour was blatant advertising qualified for speedy deletion. It was the history of a company which was arguably notable (see CNet results with Scour Exchange), with a recently created search company at that same site. It had been recently edited with advertising language solely about the latter company, but I reverted it. If it was reverted back, it would seem like an ad, but the article's history should have shown it could be reverted to a non-advert version. Galatee (talk) 08:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It was written like a blatant advertisement, and wikipedia is not the place to promote recently created search companies. On top of that there appear to be no reliable third party sources, further supporting the deletion of this article as either a blatant advertisement(G11) or a non-notable group(A7).  <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 14:44, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't have had an issue with removing information about the recently created search company, or reducing it to an acknowledgement that the domain has been redeveloped by an unrelated search company. If you only saw this ("How is Scour different? Scour differentiates itself from other social search, ratings and community sites in that it..."), I can understand how you saw it as an advertisement of a newly created, non-notable company. However, until very recently, it was more like this, which is not written like an advertisement and provides claims of notability.


 * If you disagree with my last sentence, I respect your opinion and would like elaboration of your reasoning. I want to make sure we're on the same page, though. Galatee (talk) 03:27, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Marc Horowitz
I noticed you deleted Marc Horowitz as per CSD A7, which I nominated. I don't know if you noticed, but at the bottom of the article it noted that he basically dared people to create a wp page for him saying, that "It doesn't take much to get one." It may be worthwhile to protect the page from recreation for a few days, in case there are others trying to follow suit. I don't know how much of an audience this guy has. justinfr (talk) 15:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea, I saw that part it was pretty funny actually. I generally only protect pages from creation after 3 or 4 re-creations and if I am in an especially good faith mood sometimes 7-8 times.  I will keep an eye on it as I will be on CSD patrol most of today most likley. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 15:17, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I figured the easiest way to handle it was leave it as the redirect (from DAB's move).  You apparently have a problem with this action so you are welcome to prod it or take it to AFD. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 15:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

deletion of Advocis
You deleted my article even after I flagged it asking for more time to develop it. This is not fair. I was accused of advertising but I don't work for this group and have absolutely no affiliation with it. I am an independent writer who writes about personal finance. In addition, a similar group in the U.S. warrants a page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Association_of_Personal_Financial_Advisors

The organization, which may seem insignificant to you, was established through Canadian government legislation:

http://www.canlii.org/ca/sta/t-10.3/part296085.html

So why are people on Wikipedia so opposed to having an article on a Canadian national association of financial advisors that is responsible for education, designations and political lobbying activities? Pokey2009 (talk) 19:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

After the previous poster...
Mohammed al-Husseini, I made it quite clear that deleting an article after one edit (which even provided RS, while writing up other sources and articles on related topics, is out of line - especially after I took the time to use the hangon procedure - all it accomplishes is convincing me to simply remove any CSD without following protocol in the future.

 * I read the article and I read your hangon information ojn the talk apge (which by the way did not address the concerns just attacked the editor who tagged the article [a good faith action]).

What is not considered advertising when trying to post info about a company?
Hi Chris. I'm a huge fan of a pro skater who started his own compnay a couple of years ago. There has been a bio on Wiki for awhile about him too. In his bio, it lists his company, which does not have a page. So I tried to create one. I posted the founder, category and purpose of the company, but you deleted it. I linked to info about the founder, info about the company. I even had it on a discussion page, and another editor thought it would be okay to try posting it. Can you please specify what part of the article was "blatant advertising" as you put it? I truly don't understand, since there was no mention of promotions, prices, products or anything of that nature. Thanks HappySk8ter (talk) 20:57, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Conserve School
Hi, I am not sure I understand why this page was deleted. Conserve School is a new independent boarding school and the factual information on the site was similar to what one would see at the wiki sites for most schools. Please reconsider or provide me with more specific information on what the article needs in order to satisfy the relevancy requirements. The page was first created by students at the school and has been a great learning tool for them. Thanks for your help. Stefan.Anderson (talk) 16:31, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Couple of things, first off thank you for addressing your concerns. 2nd of all, it does not realy matter if the infoirmation is factual or not in this case, we need reliable sources to substantiate the article (hint, links to the schools site or sites closley affiliated with this school most likley do not count.)  The purpose of wikipedia is not to provide a listing of all schools or even to primarily act as a learning activity for students, however to be an encyclopedia.  Your article, as written, was written like an advertisement that has no relaible sources and no assertion of notability.  In short for you to have an article you need to tells us why it is notable using reliable sources. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 16:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Chris, that makes sense. Would it be possible to restore the site so that the type of substantiation you are talking about can be added or will it be necessary to create a new article? There are a number of reasons why it is notable that can be substantiated with links to second party sources. I would appreciate the chance to use this as a learning opportunity for myself and give the article what it needs to be an appropriate encyclopedic entry and not an advertisement. Stefan.Anderson (talk) 16:56, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

TravelMuse company deletion
Hi Chris, I was hoping you would help me understand your thoughts behind the G11 speedy deletion of TravelMuse company. We tried to follow all the submission guidelines and kept the description very neutral. Other admins seem to have reviewed it and enhanced it without major concerns. There are tons of other company pages on wikipedia listed in the [Travel websites category]. Some, such as SideStep, seem to occasionally be flagged as advertisement to be re-written but at least the community gets a chance to discuss and improve it. Could you please explain what was so unacceptable about this company description which is out of line with its peers? Please give us a chance to improve it.

Bachman's
How is the Bachman's article not notable and why did you have to do a speedy delete rather than allow for discussion? This article is about a company who has been in business for over 100 years, has a large presence in the Twin Cities, MN, and just recently lost a CEO to murder in China. This seems much more notable than articles about Menards or Cabela's or many other businesses which have articles.

 * based on the article it does not appear to meet wikipedias notability requirements. The references used are either the comapnys page or a page talking about the CEO (with an in passing mention of the company). The company appears (per the article) to only have 7-8 stores in a fairly limited market.  Nothing cited asserts the notability of this company.

User talk:Cumulus Clouds
Can you please restore this user's talk page history you deleted. As the guideline says user talk pages generally shouldn't be deleted. Obviously there are exceptions if there's a good reason. Was that the case here? RMHED (talk) 00:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's funny, you did the exact same thing here. Should I try to be more covert about it, as you have, by moving it through several iterations first before asking for it to be deleted? And can you explain to me first what information you needed that was missing from that page and second why you're allowed to delete your talk page and other users aren't. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 15:50, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm restoring it. Users who want messages off their talk pages are free to archive or blank them, but deletion is not normally an option as it quite severely restricts scrutiny.  Anyway, the CSD clearly doesn't apply; this is neither a user page nor a subpage of a user page.  If CC wants it deleted, he can try MfD.  Mango<b style="color:orange">juice</b>talk 07:32, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * MangoJucice, thanks for looking into this. Sorry I did not get a chance to review this more thoroughly last night.  Good call on the restore.  When I see user tagged talk pages I assume they are trying use their right to vanish.  I should probably make a note to follow up on such deletions in the future. Looking at this more closley it appears that CC may have been trying to hide his talk page history (which in my opinion is uncouth).

And could somebody tell me why they've decided to pursue this in the first place? Cumulus Clouds (talk) 15:45, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Why Cumulus Clouds (talk) 16:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Transparency is important on this project, especially with pages like talk pages. By deleting the revisions it can be seen as trying to hide negative information about an editors past.  I personally thought you were retitiring or vanishing or something which is why I deleted it in the first place.  I guess a better question is, why did you want it deleted?

In the meantime, I'm going to ask you to restore User:RMHED/ot for the same reason that my talk page was restored. Thanks, Cumulus Clouds (talk) 16:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I see no problem with that page. There were warnings there, but cut and pasted from elsewhere if you look at the deleted history.  Also, the previous contents of that page were moved from User space to User talk space, not the other way around.  So that page, in particular, is okay to delete under U1; it's not a user talk page (or former user talk page) and also RMHED was the only editor.  I do see that RMHED has moved the history of his/her talk page to User space, but I don't see that it's eben deleted.  This is an irregular way of archiving, and should maybe be discussed.  But it doesn't seem like a drastic problem.  Mango<b style="color:orange">juice</b>talk 16:52, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 16:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, on deeper investigation, there is something strange going on here. RMHED moved his talk page to User:RMHED/ot, then moved that to User talk:RMHED/articles, made some subsequent edits to User:RMHED/ot and then tagged it for CSD U1.  RMHED made subsequent edits to User talk:RMHED/articles, which makes it look like it's not a talk page archive, but it actually is.  All of this can be discovered even by a non-admin  but it does look like a pretty clever way of making ones' talk page history hard to find.  So this is pretty irregular... but it wouldn't be much better if User:RMHED/ot was undeleted.  Mango<b style="color:orange">juice</b>talk 17:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Jamie Manderson
I see you speedied this. Although not an admin I earlier removed the speedy tag as, IMO, there was at least an indication of why he may have been notable - a BBC story and a comment that he was the most convicted driover ever in GB. My understanding of the A7 speedy rules are that such a possibility of notability means it is not applicable for speedy and a prod or AfD should be used instead (although I accept it was likely to fail under one of these two processes). Therefore I'd be interested in your reasons for speeding this article. Dpmuk (talk) 16:26, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I Ignored all rules here and went ahead and deleted it. If you contest this deletion enough you are welcome to take it to deletion review.  The article is unencylopedic and full of completley negative information regarding a living person (although cited), WP:BLP states, "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid;" the entire article read like a tabloid article (although cited).  This is an article that it is better that it is gone now instead of later.  Hope this helps. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 16:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enouh - if you'd have quoted IAR in the deletion summuary I'd probably have been happy (as I doubt it's worthy of an article). As background an article I eventually managed to get to DYK status was twice speedied before I got a chance to improve it because the reviewing admin couldn't really follow what the original editor had posted (I admit it was poorly written).  Since then I've had a personal view that many pages are speedied a bit too quickly and in doing so newbies are often biten so I often look at speedy candidates to see if there's any that shouldn't be there.  This obviously didn't fall under the A7 category so removed the tag and was surprised to see A7 in the deletion log - happy to accept your IAR rationalle. Dpmuk (talk) 16:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I have had the same thing happen (saved an article that had been speedied and/or tagged for speedy) before I became an admin. I very often remove speedy tags and request that if it is contested it be takedn to AFD or PROD, however due to the massive number of speedy deletions that happen it find it impractical to notify the authors of the deletion or that I removed the speedy tag (I do 99% of all of my editing completley manually without any tools to assist me). <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 16:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

my info is lost
hi there! I just saw that you deleted my page...

I was wondering if you could just send me the source, especially the stats...it was the only place that i had my stats stored, i didn't save them anywhere else. i would really appreciate it if you could send that to me, as it was something i put lots of effort into.

i won't create anything else again.

Thanks, Vince.

Natural Child Project
Natural Child Project

The Natural Child Project is a well-established parenting and unschooling organization. Though the website includes a fundraising shop, the vast majority of the pages are comprised of over 200 professional articles and an advice column for parents, and a free art gallery space for children, which now includes over 100 images - possibly the largest children's art gallery on the Internet. We are well-known and respected in the attachment parenting and unschooling communities. Please contact me if you need more information.

Thank you,

 * This means what to me? Do you have any reliable sources that have covered this organization in depth (not just a passing mention). Can you prove to me you are notable other than what you say? (you also have an apparent conflict of interest here as well which is also frowned upon. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 17:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Our organization was founded in 1996. There are currently over 26,000 links to us on Google - we are very well-known in our field of attachment parenting. We have published 3 books: The Natural Child: Parenting From the Heart (paperback and CD), The Unschooling Unmanual, and A Gift for Children. The UN has used our art images for their Christmas cards. Please let me know more specifically what you are looking for. I would also like to know what you meant by "conflict of interest".

The reason I want our website in Wikipedia is simply to reach more parents and to help them to treat their children with love and respect.
 * That is not what wikipedia is for. Based on that, the deletion of your article was the right thing.  We are an encyclopedia, not a place to get your message out. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 17:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Now I'm really confused. You have listings for many other similar organizations and periodicals e.g. Mothering Magazine, that have exactly the same goal we have, and also have online shops. I would really like to understand your guidelines better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Janhunt (talk • contribs) 17:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC) Janhunt (talk) 17:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Please feel free to read up on our policies here. Importantly on notability and reliable sources. Your organization may indeed meet the requirements for an article however the intention of this article would be to provide factual information that can be substantiated through reliable sources written in a neutral point of view. Based on what you told me above, your intentions for the article do not match up with this projects intentions. In short, wikipedia does not care what you stand for and how good it is, that is not what we are here for. If you can provide me with some reliable 3rd party sources we can work from there towards creating the article again. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 18:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You also have a conflict of interest in the creation of this article. This is frowned upon.  You are welcome to request the article be created at the requested articles.  If this is done, it will most likley get reviewed by an external editor (I have no idea how long this generally takes) and the article can be created.  If this is done, the editor will do there own research and any negative information about your organization will also show up in this article (it will anyways, even if you write it yourself because once you write it anybody can edit it and add any cited information to it). <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 18:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps it will help to add that we have been mentioned in numerous books, e.g. The Paradox of Natural Mothering by Christina Bobel p.63 The No-Cry Sleep Solution (2002) by Elizabeth Pantley p.77. 19 books that reference the Natural Child Project are listed *here

Here is one of our book reviews on a major website (La Leche League Intl) http://www.llli.org/NB/NBMarApr04p60.html

I hope this helps.

 * I reccomend you start creating this article in a sandbox, for example User:Janhunt/sandbox1 is a great place to start. As you make progress through the articles creation, I will gladly provide insight as to what is necessary to meet our standards here.  It sounds like the organization is notable, however the article will need to be written in a neutral/factual way (so that it does not promote your cause). <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 19:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean reference the books I listed? Or the article itself (if so, how would I do that?) Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new to this.

Thanks, Jan Janhunt (talk) 20:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you were writing a paper for a college class or something along those line. Keep in mine, there is supposed to be no orignial research.  That means whatever is in the article should be attributable to a reliable 3rd party source (this does not include anything you are the author of due to the conflict of interest. <b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 20:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. So I should reference the books published by The Natural Child with the publisher name and date? And delete the reference to my own book? Is there anything else that needs to be referenced?

speedy deletion of House at 536 Park
Hi. I hope you don't mind, but I've restored House at 536 Park as it's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I realize it was a minimal stub at the time, but looking closer, its clearly worthy of a Wikipedia article. WikiProject National Register of Historic Places is dedicated to ensuring that all of these have articles behind them. Cheers. Toddst1 (talk) 00:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

David Banks Self Portrait - Your Interpretation of "Blatant Copyright Violation"
Arguably, the way I uploaded the photo may have been in ignorance as well. However, not only is the photo not copyrighted, it's being used with David Banks's full knowledege, permission and approval. This photo was from David Banks's website. David Banks has not copyrighted it. David Banks was actually with me when I added the photo, and he helped to decide which photo to use. The photo and the entire page were posted with David's supervision. Let me know how you want to verify this, assuming that you'll need verification. I spoke to David about this, but he's not a member of Wikipedia. I am representing him here. Thanks in advance. --Victorcoutin (talk) 15:49, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I will review this on monday. However, it is not my responsibility to ensure you provded proper licensing information per wikipedias standards.  Nor is it my ignorance for deleting an image that was in a violation of our policies here.  I just reviewed the final revision before it was deleted and no licensing information was provided.  This is not my problem, however yours.  Please ensure that all future uploads have all the required information.

 * The fact is, I cannot read your mind and even the example you provided above is not enough. You stated it has his full permission and knowledge because he has not copyrighted it.  Has david bands released the image in question under the GFDL or into the public domain?  It does not matter if it is used on this project with his permission, it needs to explicitly be licensesd properly.  That is why the image got deleted is you did not provide the required information and we cannot read your mind.<b style="color: #1E90FF">Chris</b><b style="color: #4169E1">lk02</b> Chris Kreider 03:34, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of "Beacon Cottage"
Hi, you deleted my fledgling page on Beacon Cottage, which we believe was built by the Earl of Harrowby in 1795 as a hunting lodge / holiday home / love nest / something. I don't yet know all the details I am trying to build up the information.

Was this deleted because this is incorrect use of Wikipedia (i.e. recovering local history is out of scope) or was it because I did something wrong (publishing without much info, not justifying notability)? I thought it was a good thing to make my research public, and thereby benefit from collaboration from others.

 * You in no way indicate why it is significant, and there are no citations. Mostly it is just a date by date lsiting of events that happened to this particular location.  The article was written was extremely unencyclopedic.

Deleted Image
Why did you delete the image of the book 'How to Win Every Argument'? Your reasons seem obtuse. Indeed, I wager that if you entered into a proper argument on the issue, you'd lose!

Hence, if you don't reply to this message soon, I'll assume you accept you cannot win the argument and will restore the image.Chris who reads books for a living (talk) 20:56, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you please provide a link to the image in question? In response to your statement, "Indeed, I wager that if you entered into a proper argument on the issue, you'd lose!" I will gladly explain my reasoning if you can provide a link.  I delete hundereds of images/articles a day all for failure to meet wikipedias standards.  What most likley happened is YOU failed to provide relevant licensing/fair use information.  We cannot read your mind so to ensure that copyright policies are followed, such images are deleted within a reasonable amount of time (usually 7 days).  In the case it was recently uploaded, you most likley selected a license that is not compatiable with wikipedias licensing requirements for images to be uploaded.  IF you can provide more details, I will gladly provide a more in depth review.

Oos.cc speedy deletion
Hi, your answer to the speedy deletion of the oos.cc article was: "it is better that it stay deleted". Can you tell me why you think so since the article was completey re-written to become wikipedia conform. I think that OOS is notable enough (just see the list of links and reviews that were added, more than 20.000 active users, etc.) to get an entry in wikipedia, don't you think?
