Vandalism of Jordan Palmer (social activist)
The [Jordan Palmer (social activist)] page continues to be vandalized. Can anything be done about this? I am part of the LGBT Project and I am a Kentucky historian. There is a football payer in Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati named Jordan Palmer, and 3 other people, in addition to the other two Wikipedia has referenced. The only reason this one is being targeted I fear is because of his LGBT activism. I contribute as much to Wikipedia as I can, mainly corrections and clean-ups and I would sincerely appreciate any help you could give. The page should possibly be deleted. --Kentucky1333 (talk) 04:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no idea why you're asking me: I'm not an admin, I've not edited the article and I'm not interested in Kentucky or gay issues. You can report vandals and you can ask for page protection - see WP:VAN and WP:PROT andy (talk) 09:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Oxford Abstracts
Hi. I looked carefully for an assertion of notability and could not find one. What is it about the company that you believe is notable? I'm not averse to restoring it if you are able to answer that. Deb (talk) 16:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The article states that Oxford Abstracts Ltd "provides a widely used abstract management system notable for its low cost of ownership[1][2]." and also that it has "an extensive global client base". It mentions one client who is one of the biggest publishers in the world. The company's website states that it's a market leader in its field. So at least, a credible assertion of notability and therefore not speediable.


 * I've been intending to create articles on all of the key players in this particular field and, to be honest, I'm hampered by the lack of decent independent coverage. It seems to me that for suppliers in a niche market it's extremely hard to meet the requirements of WP:N - check out this afd for some cogent arguments on this point. A company could be the largest manufacturer of toilet-roll tubes on the planet but nobody is ever going to write a newspaper article about them!


 * Abstract management is a large global industry, supplying to conference management which is a multi-billion industry, but it's not the sort of thing that gets written about much. I think that my article on Oxford Abstracts met at least minimal standards - proddable maybe but definitely not speediable. I'm also rather upset not to have been notified about the speedy tag - whoever did it should be told about the etiquette in these matters.


 * Anyway, can you restore it so I can address whatever issues need addressing? andy (talk) 21:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I just found this interesting discussion - see Question 8. andy (talk) 17:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * "Low cost of ownership" is not in itself (in my opinion, that is) a quality that makes any company or product notable. In fact, such a statement is borderline advertising, especially since the references quoted don't support this claim; actually, I don't know whether the second one does because I wasn't prepared to read all 171 pages to find out - you need to give a page reference.  It would of course be a notable company if, for example, it employed 100,000 people, or if it numbered 25% of the world's libraries among its customers; but there is nothing quantifiable in the article as you created it.  The example of EasyChair is not a good one, for two reasons: firstly, it is a product, whereas the article you created was for a company; second, the deletion discussion on EasyChair ends with no consensus for deletion but the only support for the article being kept came from those who created it (one of whom is now banned).  Furthermore, the article retained is vastly reduced from the one originally created.  So I still don't see your claim of [|notability].  Having said that, I attach the text of the article below so that you can do some more work on it in your own space and see if you can achieve some evidence of notability.

Oxford Abstracts Ltd is UK based company that provides a widely used abstract management system notable for its low cost of ownership.

Oxford Abstracts was established in the UK in 2001. The directors are Geoff Campbell and Kim Wilson. The company has an extensive global client base - prominent clients include Elsevier and the UK's National Cancer Research Institute.

Gardening Express
not sure i am posting this in the right place, but here goes. thanks for your feedback on the Gardening Express page. As a plant breeder i feel it important for them to be highlighted here for others to learn about, and it is pleasing that you have found that the article is not an advert, but does need more work to point out the noteworthyness of the organisation. Unfortunately most of the third party information to substantiate the article is offline content, from various journals going back many years. Should I reference these in the normal way and add in to the article? Unfortunately most horticultural trade stuff for which this is worth mentioning on wikipedia is offline, so difficult to point out websites with details of their significance. Also, websites that mention them in the past are renewed as more new material is bought to the fore, so makes it not so easy finding the references you need?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GE100 (talk • contribs) 17:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)


 * You should reference the journals, but please bear in mind the policy at WP:N and also your conflict of interest - it is not generally a good idea to create articles about companies with which you are closely involved. I think it's very likely that the article will be challenged again and may be deleted, unless it's written in a completely neutral manner, has clear encyclopedic value and has obvious notability. andy (talk) 18:42, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Zinstall_XP7 speedy deletion tag
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I have just started writing the article - it obviously won't just stay an infobox. Please wait for a day, and then please decide if this is an advert or a legit article. I hope you will find the article improved shortly. Samfranker (talk) 13:55, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

UPD: I have added content to the article in question. Please tell me if this still violates any standards, and I will fix accordingly. I have recently gave a talk on the subject of virtualization and migration at my uni, and am editing the relevant articles where I see things missing. Zinstall was missing altogether, that's why I had to start it. Please forgive me for lack of experience in editing the articles - I would be very glad if you could verify my other edits are up to par. Many thanks, Sam. Samfranker (talk) 15:45, 8 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, it's already been deleted. andy (talk) 23:05, 8 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Are you able to undelete that? It seems another editor just deleted it since it was flagged. I'd really like to have a proper discussion of reasons for deletion of that material, and why my other edits to similar articles do not merit a deletion, although are also on commercial products in that area.

CASHX
Hi Andy, We are trying to create a page for researchers including ourselves to put information about this new research tool. There are many groups around the world working with and adding to the development of the CASHX pipeline. Also there are many publications in press that will be referencing this tool in the next weeks and months. This is a start page just like the page BLAT_(bioinformatics). Also I am new at this can you tell me what I am missing to make this comply? Thanks. Sullichr (talk) 19:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * .... I guess I give up trying to get this research tool out to the world. This tool is not different then BLAT, BLAST, HMMER and many other research related tools wikipedia has pages on. Thanks anyway. Sullichr (talk) 19:40, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The issue is one of notability by wikipedia's standards, which this article apparently fails. You're at liberty to recommend other articles for deletion on the same basis. andy (talk) 00:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi and again thanks Andy, there are already two papers PMID:19854858 and PMID:19641088 that cite the main CASHX paper and use the CASHX pipeline. Does this help with the notability standards? Thanks in advance. Sullichr (talk) 03:40, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, no:
 * 1. The full text of the first article doesn't seem to mention CASHX anywhere
 * 2. The second article is only available to subscribers, but the abstract doesn't mention CASHX
 * 3. In any case neither article is about CASHX - at best in an article of this kind it will get a passing mention. WP:N requires significant coverage which means that "sources address the subject directly in detail"

andy (talk) 11:05, 6 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Andy, Thanks Again. I do see your point, and I have asked the groups who have asked to post information about CASHX where they are with these information postings as well as the publications that we have in press that do use the "term" CASHX within text. In many of the cases these are scientific peer reviewed journal articles that require much more direction with the research being display and not as much the tools that help them answer the question. Many time tools like this will end up within the "methods" section of the papers and not within the main text. The fact that the CASHX main paper has been referenced twice in less then 8 months in the scientific community is very good, since many papers will never be cited. Please bare with me as I gather the needed information. Thanks Sullichr (talk) 17:24, 7 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Andy, we have confirmed that http://www.gramene.org will be posting their review of CASHX sometime this week. I will have that reference up as soon as they have release the news article. Sullichr (talk) 01:52, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Andy, we have updated some references on the CASHX page. At your convenience can you evaluate these for this page and let us know. Thanks again for you time and effort. Sullichr (talk) 20:16, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Removal of Factual Information About Michael lumbs personal life
The removal of factual information, regarding michael lumbs engagement, and interesting trivia regarding his fiance's brother, is all factual and i believe an interesting read, which lightens up a slightly boring article about a respected cricketeer. In no way is it disruptive content. Could you please enlighten me as to why you believe it to be disruptive? The definition of Disruption is "To throw into confusion or disorder." My information regarding Michael lumb, whom i respect, does not throw the article into confusion, it is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucas191092 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You have provided no evidence that the statement is true and I am unable to find any. In any case, the article is about Michael Lumb and cricket, not Alexander Hopkin and rugby. Hopkin, who I assume is a schoolmate of yours, does not appear to qualify as a notable person under wikipedia's policy at WP:N. Under these circumstances I am justified in calling your repeated attempts to insert this trivial, irrelevant and unverifiable information disruptive, and I advise you to desist. andy (talk) 23:37, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Deleting yet another 0XQ page of word salad. More aggressive steps to take?
Greetings, I see you've also been concerned about the many highly-disjointed and "fringe interest" (to put it mildly) articles created by 0XQ. I just put another article of his, Dajjal flag, up for deletion. A small sample of the content:

condign punishment How to secure eternal punishment in Hell for Jesus Christ (known for his worldliness as the "Mammôn" so avidly worshipped in Christian "Prosperity Theology") is a most VEXIng problem in VEXIllology : perhaps a suggestion to keep him tarred with black tar (as Dajjāl who is known as "black man" according to Buĥari, vol, 4., bk. 56, no. 807) and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail is implied in the Latin term /pix/, whereby "Boiling pitch was poured on the bodies of slaves as a punishment".[11] In order that such a punishment so fittingly condign should be markedly remarked on by socio-historical commentators, the emblem venerated on the Byzantine vexillum (flag) is the bookmark-sign known as "XPHCTOC"[12] (chrēstos).

Yep. So at what point do we say that this editor is an extremely determined hoaxster, or is displaying (too put it as diplomatically as possible) personal traits not appropriate for a Wikipedia editor? MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh dear! The problem is that there's almost certainly a wikipedia policy against saying that someone should be blocked because they're as mad as a bucket of frogs so I think we'll have to flag it as vandalism (which is what it is) and keep warning him. My turn first. Cheers :) andy (talk) 17:12, 20 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Yep, I realise it's WP policy to avoid any "personal attacks", but suffice to say that said editor's work certainly hasn't been constructive. I don't know the guy from Adam, but his great body of work is a bit disconcerting.  In any case, I figure the Dajjal flag piece should get deleted easily, but at some point the overall issue of the editor's misguided efforts should be addressed. MatthewVanitas (talk) 02:31, 21 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I've kicked off the process by giving him a general warning, which I think is thoroughly deserved. andy (talk) 09:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Publishing
Translation is an official stage in publishing outside of the UK and the US since most books of this world are written in English. So, I think that that stage should remain under publishing. It is not my POV, but a fact and if you ask any publisher they will agree on that. So it should be noted somewhere under publishing, because it is a major stage which can delay the publishing date by months if the translation is not good. Thank you! (Redmotarder (talk) 10:59, 23 December 2009 (UTC))


 * If you claim that it's an "official" stage you must produce evidence. I don't believe most books in the world are translated into English, which is in any case not the only target language for translation. IMHO the best that you can do is to include some text that says that books may be translated into other languages, with a link to Translation and some evidence to support any claims you make. andy (talk) 00:22, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Part of the answer to your question can be found in the earliest entries here, and the rest in off-wiki bulletin boards.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 03:58, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

 * You may want to look in on the article talk page itself, where the same disruptive accusations are being made. Also I'd like to get your thoughts as to whether the article should be pared down or kept in its original state. Come to think of it, I should probably get input from Wikiproject Law, which is the most applicable project. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 15:26, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Despite userid JohnnyB256's attempt to poison the well by citing Cla's block log, I think you'll find Requests for arbitration/Mantanmoreland and Requests for arbitration/C68-FM-SV far more instructive reading. ...because Cla turned out to be right about the whole thing. It was never conclusively proven "OnWiki" that Mantanmoreland was Gary Weiss... but it's commonly accepted as true by most intelligent folk. Mantanmoreland is restricted to one account now, instead of being allowed to sock freely. And restricted to not using proxies. JohnnyB256 has carefully avoided socking and carefully avoided using proxies so if he IS Gary Weiss/Mantanmoreland, he's not in violation of the case restrictions. But his POV pushing tendencies are pretty obvious whether he's Weiss or not. Keep that in mind when you read what he has to say. ++Lar: t/c 17:00, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Best to ignore him, for all you'll get on AN/I is drama and in the end he'll get away with it. That's how Wikipedia is structured at the moment. Big fish eat small fish. Better to focus on the article, if you have a moment. It may not be deleted, and there is a discussion, so to speak, there of the issues. It may not be a complete waste of time even if the article is deleted, as there is a discussion of other articles on notable lawsuits that may be worth creating.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 17:24, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

 * It has been made very clear to you through numerous reversions, deletions and redirections that you are approaching wikipedia in entirely the wrong way - and yet you persist. You have been told that wikipedia has very clear policies that do not permit unsupported assertions, and a very clear definition of what kind of support is required. To fly in the face of this is either arrogant or stupid.


 * I honestly don't know why you waste your time creating inappropriate articles that are almost invariably pounced on by sensible wikipedia editors who quickly check them against policy and either delete them or alter them so significantly that little if anything of your original contribution survives.


 * The reason I gave you a vandalism warning in this case is because, finding yourself thwarted over the New Testament article which is about to be deleted (just as Traité didactique de la Plume was deleted a couple of hours ago) you started what is very clearly an attempt to find a way of promoting the ideas in that article. Forcing your unsupported views onto wikipedia when a jury of editors has said that wikipedia doesn't want them is, beyond question, vandalism. I could have given you a level 4 warning which is one step short of a possible banning from wikipedia, but I wanted to give you yet another chance. Clearly I was wasting my time. If you persist in your disruptive behaviour I (and probably other editors too) will ask for you to be banned.


 * I suggest you read and learn wikipedia's rules - and follow them. andy (talk) 14:32, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Showing a Domestic Rabbit
Hi. I've declined your G2 tagging of this page, since I believe it was a good-faith attempt at an article rather than a test page as such. Cheers, Olaf Davis (talk) 13:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll redirect it, because it's not exactly much of an article. andy (talk) 15:18, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, you already did. andy (talk) 15:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: RedEye On Demand
Hello Andyjsmith. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of RedEye On Demand, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''Links provided, whilst straying towards press releases, and particularly some of their content, are a credible assertion of notability for A7. PROD or take to AfD if necessary.''' Thank you. Ged UK  12:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Noted. Will try a prod. andy (talk) 14:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Fortus
Given the number of references on the Fortus article, including Forbes Businesswire and the book "Rapid Prototyping", I don't think the article satisfies WP:CSD. If you disagree, feel free to take the article to WP:AFD. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 22:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. I've prodded it. andy (talk) 10:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion Nomination
I see that you tagged one of my pages for speedy deletion, despite it being of acceptable Wikipedia quality (crap, but still better then the vast majority on this appalling site). It seems that there is a hierarchy at Wikipedia that just shows the high level of discrimination us ordinary users have to put up with. The admins use bullying tactics to stop acceptable quality articles, such as my latest entry. This must be stopped if Wikipedia is to move forward.

 * Thank you for your input. I've proposed that you should be blocked (again) as a vandal. Have a nice day. andy (talk) 22:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
