Please roll back your edit to the Gary Brackett article. Link meets the a link qualifies as "an official page of the article's subject" per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links#What_should_be_linked in addition to other criteria outlined on that page.

Reverting vandalism
Hi there. Thanks for the great job you are doing reverting vandalism. However, I thought I should tell you that one of your revisions to the article Dell actually reverted a clean fix by ClueBot back to the vandalized version. Cheers, Turgan Talk 11:47, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Tagging of Stanley Knowles School
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Stanley Knowles School. I do not think that Stanley Knowles School fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because stating that it is a school in a particular town is plenty of context for anyone who wished to do research on the subject, or to know what is begin covered. Please re-read the speedy deletion criteria. Thank you. I request that you consider not re-tagging Stanley Knowles School for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 22:39, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Tagging of Damago Soto
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Damago Soto. I do not think that Damago Soto fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because "allegedly discovered the key to interpreting Aztec writings" is a clear claim of significance, it is even backed by a citation. The reliability of the source might be challenged at an AfD, and if kept the article should be expanded, but this is way beyond the bounds of a speedy.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Damago Soto for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 22:46, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Please remember that WP:CSD says "Administrators should take care not to speedy delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases." Please also read WP:CSD. It may be that case that an article tagged for speedy deletion is evaluated by only two people, the tagger and the reviewing admin. Therefore both of these people must be extra cautious to tag/delete only clear cut cases. Speedy deletion bypasses consensus, so it is only acceptable in cases where there is pre-established consensus -- that is, the intentionally quite narrow criteria. Please keep this is mind in future. DES (talk) 22:51, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Tagging of Crosslight Software
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Crosslight Software. I do not think that Crosslight Software fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because "pioneered the electrical and optical simulation of laser diodes in commercial TCAD product" is a claim of significance. I request that you consider not re-tagging Crosslight Software for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 23:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Please remember that A7 says "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." and "If the claim's credibility is unclear, you can improve the article yourself, propose deletion, or list the article at articles for deletion." Thank you. DES (talk) 23:07, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

editing power supply calculator
Hi, I added the calculator on the power supply page which you removed. The calculator is the best, most accurate and most up to date calculator in the internet so I have no idea why you removed it. It is absolutely free to use it, does the site look commercial? I dont understand, the other calculators linked are also highly commercial, extreme outervision for example, if you see this way. No idea why you want to keep this information from being published by deleting it. Help me understand please :) Regards (Prophetchris (talk) 01:04, 2 April 2010 (UTC))

Recent edit to Spratly Islands dispute
This recent edit, explained here puzzles me greatly on two counts. Anyhow, I've redone the subsection at issue to address the subsection topic more directly, citing a different source. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 05:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Prior to your edit the article asserted "One web site ... has said, 'Malaysian claim is presumably based ...'", citing a web page in support. You removed the supporting cite, leaving the quote unsupported, which seems to flout WP:V. (the cited web page actually didn't support the quote, but that's another issue)
 * Your stated reason for the removal of the cite was essentially that it is your opinion that the source might be biased. This seems to flout WP:DUE. The cited web page didn't look biased to me at a quick look, but as I understand DUE, possible bias perceived by a WP editor on the part of a source considered generally reliable on the topic isn't an acceptable reason for censoring the viewpoint expressed by that source.

Request on 08:32:43, 27 October 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by Jeremyhowick
Hi,

Thanks for reviewing the page I created: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Oxford_Centre_for_Evidence-Based_Medicine.

The initial reviewer comments from 8 months ago was that the page read more like an advertisement. This was a good comment as there were too many internal links to the Centre website and not enough links to external (neutral) sources.

However now the entry makes the number of (a) high-impact, peer reviewed publications in top tier medical journals, (b) the number of times Centre academics are cited in the press, and (c) the number of people the Centre teaches (all of which has been documented), I find it somewhat difficult to believe that it is not worthy of a Wikipedia entry. And the accusation that it reads more like an advertisement than a neutral entry also seems somewhat unfair: any entry is, to some degree, an advertisement.

With that in mind, can you please provide more specific advice about what changes to this Wikipedia-worthy entry pass the review process?

Thanks again for all your help,

Jeremy

Hello, Alexius, I see that you are the editor for the General Photonics submission. The last revision was rejected due to "unreliable" sources. The article lists over twenty technical papers and patents with correct links to the publications. In the guidelines, I read that connections to publications and outside references were important. Have I not attached or listed them correctly? This is a simple article about an inventor and his company and a list of his patents and publications. I am lost as what more to add. Please provide more specific suggestions. Bill PenceBpofhv (talk) 16:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Proposed deletion of Thus (disambiguation)


The article Thus (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unnecessary disambiguation page. Logical consequence fails WP:DABMENTION and there is nothing at Thu (disambiguation) that would be plural. A hatnote can be used for the word.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Tavix ( talk ) 18:12, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Pitney Bowes article updates
Hello, Alexius08. Thanks for removing inappropriate links from the Pitney Bowes article.

I've proposed an expanded and updated article on behalf of the company, which has had quite a fascinating history! I've saved my draft in full here, and submitted an edit request at Talk:Pitney Bowes to update the infobox and add the proposed "Overview" section. Given my conflict of interest, I will not edit the article directly and seek uninvolved editors to review the draft for accuracy, neutrality, and verifiability. Since you updated the article recently, I was wondering if this is this something you might be willing to help with? Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 15:55, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
