Hi. There was a note on a recent  AfD you  closed:   NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the  on the redirect page.

File:Nelson Denis.jpg
I notice you just restored this file after a request for undeletion. The user in question should have brought this to a deletion review, as it was not uncontroversial. I assume you're not aware of the fact that the photo in question has been the subject of two extremely heated and protracted PUF discussions Possibly unfree files/2011 November 18, and, and that the result of both discussions was delete. The OTRS cited by this user is immaterial; his claim that he took this photo is not credible and has not been accepted. Deletion was appealed to the administrator who twice deleted it, Fastily, with the OTRS letter reprinted in full, and the appeal was not granted. Nelsondenis248 raised the issue again at AN, and was turned down again. (See Nelsondenis248's comments at 20:41, 3 December 2011 and responses.) The photo should not just be deleted, but salted. If the user wishes to appeal the deletion, he should go to DRV with appropriate notice to Fastily. ScottyBerg (talk) 15:06, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed I was not, my apologies,   A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 15:36, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem. I suspect there will be squabbling over this photo until we all have gray hairs. ScottyBerg (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

List of national IQ estimates from Lynn and Vanhanen (2002, 2006) should be undeleted
This article was created by me, but unfortunately I missed the deletion discussion (was on vacation). The contents of the article were cut and pasted from IQ and the Wealth of Nations to enhance the readability of that article. Some editors thought that the chart in question should be deleted altogether from IQ and the Wealth of Nations, but as a compromise it was agreed that the chart could be moved to a separate article. None of this background came up in the deletion discussion, because none of the involved editors participated, so the deletion was made without knowledge about the purpose of the article and its connections to other articles.

Moreover, it seems that a copy of the article exists at National IQ estimates.--Victor Chmara (talk) 21:37, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you have any refutation of the points made at Articles for deletion/List of national IQ estimates from Lynn and Vanhanen (2002, 2006)? Also, I am in contact with User:Night of the Big Wind regarding this related topic.  Regards,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 00:54, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Arbitrarily0, I see you closed the AfD on Drama (2012 film) as delete. Thank you. Would you consider also deleting Drama (film)? This is an exact copy of Drama (2012 film) written by the same original author. I believe this should be covered by the same AfD decision? Many thanks, Sparthorse (talk) 02:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Xbox 720


A tag has been placed on Xbox 720, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- ferret (talk) 16:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have declined that speedy deletion because with six reliable sources the article at least meets WP:GNG and it does look different from the 2007 version. And I've also addressed the contradiction issue, see article talk page. De728631 (talk) 17:03, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Reconsidering AfD: Coherent (company)
Some time ago, you closed the deletion discussion on Coherent (company) with the result: "delete". I am the original author of the article; unfortunately, some sales rep turned it into an advertisement at some point, which probably triggered the deletion discussion. I am asking you to undelete the article, on the following grounds: If the article is undeleted, I'd start by moving it to the title Coherent, Inc. and reverting to the pre-spam version. Han-Kwang (t) 16:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It is a large company (NASDAQ listed, about $1 billion revenue per year). OK, by itself not enough to prove notability, I know.
 * The article title was not well chosen; the official name is "Coherent, Inc."; searching that on Google will provide more relevant results.
 * As a business-to-business company, there isn't so much to be found in the general media, but I have found some:
 * http://www.nytimes.com/2001/02/27/business/company-news-esc-medical-agrees-to-purchase-unit-of-coherent.html

 * Hello Han-Kwang! I have restored the article, which is now at Coherent, Inc..  You seem to have showed sufficient notability, especially since the deletion discussion did not address these sources.  Thanks for doing all this research,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 18:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative
Hi Arbitrarily0,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference.

Deletion of CTrader page
Hi Arbitrarily0,

I hope you are well. I've just been advised that the CTrader page has been deleted by you. As far as I can tell that was based on someone's comments along the lines of 'another forex company / scam etc.' I don't work for them in any capacity but use their products so I want to help them as English is not their first language. Firstly it is most definitely not a scam. They supply products to forex trading companies and don't offer anything to individuals. I totally agree Wiki is not a forum for advertising but surely a company can register what services they offer and if that is not the case it strucks me as information discrimination against smaller firms that have not reached global / iconic / popular culture status. By that rational there are thousands and thousands of pages on here that will need to be deleted.

As Wiki's own forex trading page states it is a $4 trillion a day market that is growing and so is of interest to the general public.

As far as I could see it was not any different to pages for other forex companies and was trying to just be factual. Below are some examples of those.

If there were elements of it that needed changing I'm sure their contributor could have done that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FXCM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Index_Group http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpari_%28UK%29_Limited

Please don't take any of the above as a complaint - I just want to find out if they were doing something wrong and what they would need to do to correct it.

Cheers Forextrader2011 (talk) 14:47, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there Forextrader! CTrader was deleted because of consensus to do so at Articles for deletion/CTrader.  One of the main reasons for this was that it lacked secondary reliable sources - do you know of any such sources that could have been included?    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 22:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Arbitrarily0 for the prompt reply and explanation! Yes I'm sure they have plenty of secondary sources to use, media articles etc and will get them to forward a big collection of all those for group consideration. CheersForextrader2011 (talk) 08:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Excellent. I look forward to seeing the sources. Take care,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 19:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Arbitrarily, please see below secondary sources. I will leave in your and the discussion groups experts as to whether they are suitable :) I've been informed they are rewriting the text for the page as well for consideration.

Many Thanks

 * Thanks Forex. Now which of these would you consider to be reliable sources (e.g., reliable newspapers, books, journals)?  In most cases, blogs, Youtube, and primary sources are not usable as reliable sourcing.    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 00:10, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi ArbitrarirlyO, I went back to the drawing board and rebsubmitted under Spotware Systems Ltd - with reliable sources clearly listed at the end. This was immediately speedy deleted by Lenticel because Spotware (not submitted by me) had already been deleted. I've now posted on my talk page for discussion rather than just reposting. Forex trading and ECN is very notable for some of the reason I outline above (the size of the market alone is enough) and the cost of everyday goods, outlook for global economy is directly affected by positive or negative sentiment in forex markets. Like all good pages the intention was not for the page to be the complete product but to have many contributers develop it over time. You were very helpful above so any guidance would be appreciated. Many Thanks Forextrader2011 (talk) 13:59, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Arbitrarily0,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 15:36, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Reynolds Transport theorem
Dear Arbitrarily0

I see that you have reverted the article on Reynolds Transport theorem to an old version.

However you omitted to justify this action on the talk page and, significantly, I consider the version you prefer to be incorrect.

I have indicated that the factual accuracy of this article is disputed and I invite you to address the issues that are outlined on the talk page.

Template:Expert-subject
In response to the TfD discussion at Templates_for_discussion/Log/2012_March_18 I have augmented the expert-subject sandbox version with an optional reason parameter. Also, the template now recommends adding a reason when neither the reason nor the talk parameter is being used; updated documentation is here. As the template is indefinitely being protected, may I ask you to copy over the new version from the sandbox to the actual template? Thanks, Nageh (talk) 16:37, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Nageh, thanks for working on this. Would you mind making an edit request on the template's talk page instead?  I find it possibly strange that the reason= parameter would display directly on the template (instead of constraining comments to the discussion page).  Others may not agree, however, but it might be helpful to open it up for comment.  At any rate, thanks again for taking the time to fix this.    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 03:17, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, supporting an inline reason is in line with other templates, e.g., cleanup. Anyway, I have started the edit request as suggested. Cheers, Nageh (talk) 12:52, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

I was not aware that posting that message on administrators talk page would be considered canvassing. I am not intending to get any one sided opinion on this, if that was so, why would I choose Administartors, every user I chose to post on was an administrator and I felt they are the ones who will be unbiased. I saw advertising on the RFC page and thought that was the way to go. Please revert your views on the talk page which says I am trying to canvass if you may think fair. I am doing the RFc for the first time. Pavan 02:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavn123 (talk • contribs)

Hey :). You're being contacted because you are involved in the ACC process, or participated in the original discussion in '08 about the ConfirmAccount extension. This is a note to let you know that we are seeking opinions on switching this extension on, effectively making the ACC process via the Toolserver redundant.

Restoring a page - Carishma
Hello,

I was hoping to restore a page for a music artist - Carishma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carishma) that was oddly deleted. She is referenced for her music on other pages and has an album coming out shortly, yet somehow her page was removed. I can still find the info that was present on it via the Facebook community page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Carishma/208541029215982?sk=info )

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc42west (talk • contribs) 18:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there Marc. This page was deleted because of a consensus to do so at Articles for deletion/Carishma.  The contributors to the discussion held that there is currently not enough significant coverage to satisfy the notability criteria for musicians.  Please let me know if you have any questions,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 13:21, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Is there anyway to get the page (as it was) restored? Her next single is about to be released shortly and she has had play on MTV as well as can be found cited on many notable websites. Please let me know if there's anyway to go about this or if a new page would need to be started.

Thanks again for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.205.202.130 (talk) 14:15, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem at all! Yes, the page can be restored by myself (or any administrator) should significant coverage come about.    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 19:13, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

That's great! Would these items qualify as "significant coverage"?

MTV video premiere: http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2011/12/09/carishma-glow-in-the-dark-video/ Seventeen Magazine feature: http://www.seventeen.com/cosmogirl/carishma-interview AOL Music Interview: http://blog.music.aol.com/2012/04/05/carishma-interview-glow-in-the-dark/

Her new single/music video will be hitting early next month, so we'd love to relaunch the wiki page so we could added any relevant info to it. Thanks again! I appreciate your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc42west (talk • contribs) 20:14, 8 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi again. I just wanted to follow up on getting this page restored as er the new hits the I mentioned above with top-level sites. Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc42west (talk • contribs) 15:39, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Marc - sorry for the delayed reply! I am still concerned that these sources may not satisfy the notability criteria for musicians (criteria #1) - they seem to resemble blog posts and "publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves".  Your thoughts?  Has her new single been released yet?    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 19:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Put Your Hearts Up
My name is Rlg000raz, I have been responsible with the creation of a few Wiki pages. And I would like to be responsible for re-creating the "Put Your Hearts Up" page. Even if the song hasn't charted anywhere except the top 100 US itunes doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a page. There are SEVERAL songs with Wiki pages that haven't charted. But ALL singles deserve a Wiki page. I am going to re-create "put Your Hearts Up" anyway, and I hope you don't nominate it for deletion. I personally love the song and I think that it desrves a page. Especially if it's a single by a well known actress that millions of people love and adore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlg000raz (talk • contribs) 21:29, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Nice to meet you, Rlg000raz. Are there ample secondary reliable sources to establish notability for this song?

Bot request
Hello Arbitrarily0!

I would like to ask if Arbitrarily0Bot is available for tagging articles for the recently created WikiProject Hungary/Sports and games task force with, and add the sport parameter to articles that are already tagged? Thanks, Thehoboclown (talk) 18:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed he is! I will look into it this weekend.  Cheers mate,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 18:27, 7 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your and your bot's hard work! The load of tagging messages got me a nice surprise when checked my watchlist in the morning :) On the other hand, I really would not like to complain, but as much as I can see it forgot to add the "sports" parameter. Is it possible to solve this problem? Or should I request another bot for adding these? Or should go after the bot and add them manually?


 * Regards, Thehoboclown (talk) 09:29, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Haha, we should be able to avoid tagging the sports parameter by hand. My idea was to first tag all of the pages in Category:Sport in Hungary with WikiProject Hungary, and then run over it again with the sports parameter.  I will still have to see, however, if Arbitrarily0Bot will be compatible with the second run through.  If not, there will be other bots that can.  Last night though I ran into a glitch which stopped the process after the first couple thousand pages (about half way through).  I would be happy to continue working on it, but it would take me a couple more weekends I think.  However, please feel free to contract another bot in the mean time to get it done sooner - I would certainly not be offended. :) Cheers mate,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 13:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi again, Thehoboclown. Unfortunately I think that Arbitrarily0Bot will not be able to complete the project as desired.  My apologies for this.  I see that you have made a request at User:Hazard-Bot/Requests - this is likely your best bet.  I hope you will drop by again in the future - cheers  mate,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 18:01, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/UFC 145
I don't agree that you have called consensus correctly here, the sources are still all WP:ROUTINE WP:PRIMARYNEWS reports any sports event gets, no attempt has been made to address the enduring notability of the event - it has none, nothing unexpected happened there nothing Encyclopaedic happened, the article is just a news report. Mt king  (edits)  20:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello there, Mtking. From my perspective, I saw that there was a rough consensus in a direction that did not seem to contradict policy - contributors seemed to fairly interpret the notability criteria for events.  However, if you wish to pursue this further, I must sadly recommend you back to deletion review.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Pages
I hope you like it, but I merged the pages templates together into one template, pages. the old version required that you list the pages twice, once in the main section, and once for pages-end. the new version only requires you to list the pages once, and doesn't require you to specify the numbering if you want to use the default numbering. if there are no problems, then we can delete pages-begin and pages-end. thank you.

Your RM close 2011
Hi, sorry to bother you with this but as closing admin you probably should be updated. I presume that as closing admin other Users must have already contacted you about the moves to the 14 Vietnamese cities subsequent to and counter Talk:Cần Thơ/Archive 1. What was, afaik, not generally known until the last couple of days was the removal of Talk-page evidence of the RM and your close prior to applying for "uncontroversial moves" via the G6 funnel - picked up by admins User:Graeme Bartlett, User:Edgar181 and User:Malik Shabazz. Talk-page evidence of RM and link to your close was in most cases deleted directly while logged in, in the case of Can Tho and Ca Mau (which had a previous RM prior to yours "bumped up" into an archive by one of a cluster of a dozen IPs which have also assisted other major RMs see WT:RM here. In light of this I have submitted the remaining unrestored cities in the RM you closed to a new RM at Talk:Ca Mau. Though in the light of what has been unearthed that new RM may now be academic. I will also inform the admin closer on the 2010 Ca Mau RM User:Billinghurst as it predates yours and is his close was also "bumped" into archive by one of the IPs as yours was.

en.wikipedia.org, by Edits (reverse), with Page = Paul_of_Tarsus
Hello:

I was wondering if you were the originating author of the article that is the subject of my message to you. I was hoping if you were, that you had more information or could provide me some direction. I have read your article, and I appreciate the insight (assuming you are the author). However, I am left with a burning question. Did Paul observe the holy day Sabbath, seeing that he was Jewish and he claimed to not betray Mosaic Law, through out his life time or did he instruct the church to abandon the Sabbath and worship on Sunday. In Revelation 1:10, John the Apostle is receiving instructions from God. He refers to his experience happening on the "Lord's Day". Is that suggesting that the day he is referring is Sunday and not Sabbath? Sorry to bother you with this, but I am trying to piece information together as best as I can understand. Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks!

 * Hello, I thought I'd provide some help here. Arbitrarily0 has moved the original page "Paul of Tarsus" to Paul the Apostle some time ago. The complete history is preserved over there and it shows that the article was created by User:Rmhermen in 2001 and has since received input from dozens if not hundreds of different authors. I can't speak for either of them but you might want to contact WikiProject Christianity, a community of editors specialised in the subject. Regards, De728631 (talk) 14:21, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
