Vandalism on your talk page
Just a friendly note I reverted some vandalism on your  talk page by a now blocked user. If I did this in error drop me a note on my talk page -- Cameron11598  (Converse) 23:54, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Enquiry
Hi, I am contacting you regarding a page you deleted in 2009. I am tying to create a page for Harvey's Point under the WikiProject Hotels Can you please review revert. Thank you. --Marcgys (talk) 20:17, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Sadly, our old friend FisherQueen has not been around much lately, but hopefully that is because she is having too much fun in real life. I'll take a look at the deleted article. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:31, 24 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, the version deleted by FQ was deleted under WP:CSD, meaning it had already been the subject of a deletion discussion and the new version did not rectify the issues that led to the first deletion. It could not have helped that it was written by User:Harveyspoint who it can be reasonably inferred had something of a conflict of interest on the matter. The older version which was deleted in 2007 was fairly poorly written and employed primary sources. The discussion of that version is at Articles for deletion/Harvey's Point. I would say that given the time that has passed and the fact that your draft version appears to be a completely new article that has some reliable sources attached you could go ahead and move it article space without concern that it would be speedy deleted.

Niall Sheehy (entertainer)
I didn't even know you was still active. Remember a ? That's me, I was unblocked - see my 2009 archives at the bottom.

Why I'm here: I declined an A7 request for Niall Sheehy (entertainer) on the grounds that it passed WP:MUSICBIO criterion #9. What was your rationale for deleting it?-- Laun  chba  ller  14:28, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I deleted five different versions of this article this morning, and this is the only one that mentions that he appeared on a reality show in addition to understudying in a musical. I missed that bit, and probably would have sent it to AfD instead of speedying if I had noticed it.  But I don't see the major award that he won; is it in an earlier revision?  I could undelete it and send it on to AfD, but it seems like a waste of everyone's time if it's only going to be deleted again. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:36, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Sheehy did not win it and is not required to have done so - WP:MUSICBIO requires that he 'won or placed' in it. Please, do restore it.-- Laun  chba  ller  17:20, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I have undeleted it and sent it on for discussion at AfD. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:30, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, and a question...
Hi! Thanks for welcoming me to the community, and inviting me to come to you with any queries! I'm new to formal editing (but have done a fair bit here and there over the years informally), so I'm unsure about something which came up:

I have a question about an issue when I did some editing the other day, before I had registered for an account. I added an external link to the page "Hadji Murat (novel)", to a website which provides comparisons to different translations of the text - but a user then reversed the edit as spamming, and said that I should mention the issue on the relevant page's 'Talk' page if I wanted to dispute the issue. I'm not sure why the edit was reversed as spamming, and not sure how to proceed? I've been adding a few external links to pages, both the website I mentioned, and Tufts University's excellent Perseus resource, and a couple of other (mainly Russian language for the time being) educational sites which feature original language texts online. Is there a problem with this? These are truly excellent resources, linked to on a great many pages (because of their legitimate and excellent nature), which have been very useful to me (when I have seen these links elsewhere).

I think you can see the relevant edits (and descriptions of edits) at the "Hadji Murat (novel)" history page. I'd be interested in your judgement here! Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LiteraryFanHi (talk • contribs) 14:29, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see the edit, and I see why it triggered the automatic spam-warning system. It was because pretty much all of your edits were to that same web site.  When a user arrives to make links to a specific web site, it's often because that person is trying to promote that web site, which is against the rules regardless of how good the web site is.  We see that problem so much that there's a script that tags it automatically.  If that isn't what you were doing, you don't need to worry about it - now that you're editing in lots of different ways, and making a variety of useful contributions, your account won't look like a spammer if you add a link to a good web site on an article that needs it.  You probably shouldn't add multiple links to the same web site to many articles, though, which would tend to present the appearance of spamming even if you aren't. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:39, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I can see why that's a bad idea, even though sites like "Perseus", "lib.ru" and "ilibrary.ru", "comparetranslations.com", "Project Gutenberg", and even some personal sites are so good and helpful, and linking to them can be one of the few ways to improve already excellent pages. Thanks again! (This response is also to check whether or not I can master the response indentation, and signing my response with the tildes, LiteraryFanHi (talk) 15:00, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

unblock requests
Hi FQ, glad to see you editing again. I'm not sure any of us realized how many unblock requests were being handled by you and BWilkins until both of you were taking a break at the same time. There's been a fairly constant backlog there for the last few months, and you're so good at explaining the situation to blocked users it would be great if you could help clear the backlog. Of course if you don't want to that is perfectly understandable as well, there are plenty of us that could have pitched in more lately if we were so inclined. For whatever reason I never seem to want to review more than two or three a day before moving on to something else. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:55, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Tedious, aren't they? I doubt I'll ever be as active as I was when I was single, but I'll try to chip away at them a bit. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:30, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't entirely clear the page, but I believe I put a dent in it. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:35, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You're awesome, as always. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:27, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Niall Sheehy (entertainer)
If the version of Talk:Niall Sheehy (entertainer) which you deleted earlier today (Sunday, UTC) contains anything that's not in the version I re-created, please restore the history and merge the contents. Thanks.

The re-created version is just a very basic WPBiography template required for living people. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  00:08, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

User:Karin Phan
FYI: I've created an SPI including this user at Sockpuppet investigations/Karin Phan since the user created a new account to get around your block (and had another account that has been previously blocked by RHaworth). -- &#124; Uncle Milty &#124; talk  &#124; 12:11, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

User:Karin Phan
Hey, I'm reviewing an unblock ticket on UTRS about this user and I'm not sure the block is appropriate. The original block is about attack pages and nonsense articles but this user appears to have done neither of those things. New users who don't understand why they were blocked and don't know what socking is tend to create new accounts when that happens and it's still wrong but had the original block never happened they wouldn't have been in that situation. Can you please review the original block again?--v/r - TP 17:23, 13 November 2013 (UTC)


 * The actual block reason lists the two reasons you mention, followed by the words "or other inappropriate pages." Beeblebrox (talk) 20:52, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that "other inappropriate pages" is intended to be ambiguous enough to cover any page not accepted into Wikipedia.--v/r - TP 20:57, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

An opinion wanted
When you're next on-line, I'd like an opinion from you. Having seen me at my worst, how ready do you think I am for administratorship?-- Laun  chba  ller  09:44, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

The return of a vandal
Hi FisherQueen,

Not sure if you can recall issuing User talk:SMRULEZ several warnings on 10 November for vandalism. Well s/he is back again, and done another vandalism edit. Thought I'd let you know. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Wesley  Mᴥuse  07:34, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
