Deletion
I think a high school student that starts a successful web design business and makes a 4 figure a month income from it and is writing a book is a noteable article. Not to mention the interviews that he's done. Just my opinion. --Mercedes30 (talk) 20:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

No Comprendo
Brianga, It makes no sense to me why an article such as Zack Flounlacker is inappropriate and wold be deleted without even notice. This is a very respectable and highly regarded man who deserves to be cited on Wikipedia. I'm only trying to expand its database thank you.

Please help me to understand
As I was searching Wikipedia, I came across People Soft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peoplesoft. Seeing and many other companies, I created a page for our company. Assessmentcompany.com. I used the extact same structure as peoplesoft. What I'd like to understand is why my post was deleted and companies like peoplesoft are allowed to say. Seems like a double standard.

Thanks!

un-delete content
hello, you deleted some pages created by my friend user:JD Caselaw. I can't opine whether it's copyright violation, (because I can't see the text of the page) but I'd like to resume writing those articles since we're collaborating. If you would please un-delete the articles, or restore the text to my user page, I will expunge any copyright violations. thanks. Agradman (talk) 18:05, 16 May 2009 (UTC) PS I would also appreciate if you removed the block on her account, but that's between you & her.

Hi, if it weren't for the attack on you, I'd be inclined to unblock at this point as she has promised to abide by policy and has shown indication that she now understands it, but I'm not going to override your block (which was sound as I have already indicated).

 * Hi, thanks for letting me back on. I just want to clear up some confusion.  It's totally possible that I created Devlin v.

FileQube speedy deletion
I declined the speedy on FileQube because the web site is remarkable. Just because you have never heard of something or someone does not mean it is not remkarkable. CSD criteria A7 is for an article about a real person, an organization (e.g. band, club, company, or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability.  This website may be non notable, but is not unremarkable.  Take it to WP:PROD or WP:AFD.  Thanks, and have a nice day. T3chl0v3r (talk) 21:48, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Out of curiosity, where are you getting the 'remarkable' language from? CSD A7 is used when the article "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant."  In my opinion, the FileQube article did not do so.  But, that's why they have horse-races.  We'll see what others think.  Have a good day too! Brianga (talk) 21:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Available Locksmith Inc - Page deletion
Hi Brianga,

I strongly disagree with your suggestion to delete the page 'Available Locksmith Inc'. It is a large company that operates all over the US and many people know of it.

This is not a page avertising the services of the company. It is simply company information and information relating to special keys produced by the company that is useful for anyone needing to know about the company or the specific type of keys. There is no promotional or advertising language used hence it does comply with Wikipedia's rules.

Please explain how I can re-list the information on this page for Wikipedia users to browse.

I am not just talking about being good, i am saying if he is not in Wiki, then you have a missing part on FMA history since he was a big player in that and many people (besides just me) will notice that.... So if you want this to be a real Wiki, he should be a part....You even have guys from FMA currently that are less known... :)

 * These are all poor arguments, to be honest. I don't have any feelings against this guy or anything, I'm just letting you know that he needs to comply with the notability standards or else the article runs a great risk of being deleted. Brianga (talk) 03:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

No, thats not a poor argument, he is a FMA/Eskrima legend (RIP) and very respected by many people, because they know the difference he made to FMA history and the style it self.... But i think you are the type, who would not even think Bruce Lee had a place in Wiki, simply because of your lack of martial arts knowledge and that you are being way to picky (wiki should ban you, you are not doing anyone any favors).

Its people like you that is the reason when i search for Eskrima, Balintawak or FMA legend on your wiki i get poor info or none at all.... Just like everyone else and it shows that Wiki is not a real Wiki as i said, you have much less known guys from Eskrima/FMA in Wiki already, but nothing about some of the legends from FMA.... Thats poor info.

You by the way make everything way to complicated for everyday people wanting to use their time on post just look at your guides....

Satan in popular culture
What was the point of doing this? If the article creation was balatant vandalism, as you said in the edit summary, then how could it be right just to delink it rather than remove any reference to it? I thought administrators were chosen for their ability to exercise judgement, not to just to act like bots. Please use your brain rather than just Twinkle. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:37, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * One of the great things about Wikipedia is that one editor need not do everything - there are always other good editors, like you, to pick up on the things that another editor, such as I, might miss. I don't think that my good act (removing a link) makes me a bad editor or administrator just because I could have done a better thing (removing the reference completely).  In fact, it was really all just a matter of timing.  I looked in my contributions minutes after deleting the article in question and saw the link removal - I was going to delete the reference, but you had already done so.  But that is neither here nor there.  Brianga (talk) 19:46, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was a bit too quick on the trigger finger. I agree that the the wiki process worked out fine in the end. I was probably a bit too upset about the miserable performance by England's bowlers that I have spent today witnessing (don't worry if you don't understand the link - I'm completely ignorant about baseball myself) and took it out on you.

Hi; this is just to inform you that the James Chabot article has been restored.

Hello,

I read the conflict of interest statement that you forwarded to me, and yes I do agree that I am familiar with many of the individuals listed in this organization. As its founder, I personally inducted most of these individuals into the organization. My only concern is the fact that you are essentially defining who is considered to be a "notable" individual. For the majority of the individuals whom you deleted, I have listed credible online sources that demonstrate their accomplishments (including my own - I'm Yuri Jadotte by the way - and I can provide many more link including links to my academic manuscripts listed on PubMed). Please review the sources first before deleting individuals. I can concede that not everyone on the list of notable people has credible sources listed regarding their accomplishments; however, I would like to ask you to please leave those individuals who do have credible sources on the list of "notable" people. I have revised the list accordingly based on this criteria. If you still feel that these individuals are not "notable" enough to be listed, please provide evidence of a consensus from other editors as well as your reasoning as to why the individuals listed are not considered "notable". I think that's a fair assessment.

Humbly looking forward to your reply,

MSU Interview
Dear Brianga,

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 communityHERE, where 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 nameHERE 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)23:23, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I understand but please consider this
Will you please remove the two terms "Radical" and "anti-Government" because as you suggested, you want to keep an open mind and allow people to make that decision on their own. There is no evidence to suggest that they are anti-government. That is a misconception and simply wrong. They are in-fact pro-government as long as the government abides by the constitution. Calling them anti-government is something a biased extreme leftist would say with a hidden agenda to mislead people. The word radical also implies this as well. All of which is misrepresenting their cause. It is quite simple. The oath keepers took a pledge as current and former law enforcement and military to defend the constitution of the United States. Many have faught and gave their life protecting this government and country. There is nothing anti-government about that. How can they be anti-government if they are partially comprised of government officers? It is simply wrong to have those two terms listed and as you can see, the references are MSNBC which is clearly left leaning and not following YOUR code of "unbiased" and "neutral" conduct.

I'm guessing the edit you're talking about is the Kasich 2016 edit, in which I would like you to read these articles: http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/04/politics/john-kasich-drops-out/ http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/kasich-dropping-out-of-presidential-race-222792 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kasich-drops-2016-race_us_56251393e4b08589ef48270a — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackChecker6 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for responding. None of those articles can be considered a reliable source at the moment. Each cites to an unnamed person or persons, and there has been no official word from the campaign. Please see WP:RSBREAKING. Brianga (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Not original research
The CNN article says that their statement was based on this data, so I'm not sure why you call this original research. Wnt (talk) 12:01, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi Wnt. OR may not be the most precise way to put it. But nonetheless, we don't typically begin a sentence by explaining what the source will be. We don't say "According to CNN..." for example. We want the article to read like an encyclopedia, not like a list of quotes from other authorities. Brianga (talk) 13:36, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Pokemon Go deletion
Don't delete without discussion. If an edit is UNSOURCED, you can be bold and delete. However, from [Wikipedia:Content removal]: when removing a section of an article, it is necessary that it at least be explained, and in some cases, discussed. Unexplained content removal is when the reason for the removal is not obvious, and is open to being promptly reverted.: In this case, this week's source is unimpeachable: Dun & Bradstreet and your deletion falls into the category of [Wikipedia:I just don't like it]: "Wikipedia is not a business deal. It is an encyclopedia. Well-argued statements beat personal, subjective tastes". So, please discuss before trying to remove this section (you can edit/dispute it all you like, of course).Santamoly (talk) 21:02, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Bhullar PROD
Just a note that prior to deleting expired PRODs, you should check the article history to see if the article has been proposed for deletion before - if it has, like this article, then it is ineligible to be deleted via a PROD.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Blue Mountain (Bob Weir album), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Keyboard and Sam Cohen. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Evan McMullin image
Hi there Brianga. I know you just put the old image back in this article, but I have removed it again. That's nothing against you, it's just that the image doesn't have clear permission yet and I'd rather take out all of the non-free images than deal with people ading new non-free ones in good faith. I won't revert again if that image returns to the article, but I think it would be far better to insist on not using images that don't have clear permission. Again, nothing against you; I think we mostly agree that the other images aren't acceptable. 64.105.98.115 (talk) 21:32, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Evan McMullin.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Evan McMullin.jpg and for sending in an email to our OTRS team. Unfortunately, the permissions received were not sufficient. Due to this a tag has been placed on the image requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. This is due to the image being tagged OTRS received for longer then 30 days without permissions being confirmed and no further responses have been received to attempt to resolve the permission issue. If you have questions about this please feel free to message me on my talk page. --Majora (talk) 00:13, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Clint Dempsey
Reliable sources? It's a well known fact that Dempsey has achieved the most of any American who has competed at the highest level in Europe, as clearly shown through the amount of goals he scored and time spent playing over there. He was a two-time player of the season for Fulham FC during their course in the English Premier League, as well as a record goal scorer for them, and scored twelve goals across all competitions while he was with Tottenham. It's also a well known fact that he scored the fifth fastest goal in World Cup history. There's even a video on YouTube about the fastest goals in World Cup history. These are all facts, and you would be WRONG to think otherwise. I would tell you to name and provide stats for any other American attacking player who has achieved more in the sport than Dempsey has, but that's impossible...unless you make up numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.85.253.62 (talk) 22:27, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Gloria Allred article
Hi Brianga,

You have rightly corrected the insertions by User:97.87.116.23 to the Gloria Allred article. However, this user has engaged in edit warring / 3RR violations, repeatedly inserting the material after reversions by myself and User:Lourdes. Both of us have given reasons for the reversions and in my case I have discussed the situation on the talk page [here] I have also created a talk page for the anon user and left a notice to discuss the issue on the Allred talk page [here]. The anon user has ignored the rules and the notices and continues to re-insert the material. I feel that unless he/she discusses the reasons for the material and provides references it should be deleted and whatever necessary measures taken to prevent the user from re-inserting the material without obtaining consensus. Gaas99 (talk) 03:05, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

There is a discussion on the article talk page here. I notified you because removing the anon editor's insertion would also remove your edit and I didn't want to do that without telling you. Gaas99 (talk) 01:14, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

 * I see that it's in the lede of Fort Wilderness Junction. I don't have access to the source (a book), so can't confirm the reference. A Google search, though, returns very few results, all or almost all of them being copy/pastes of this Wikipedia article. I just think it's an extremely unlikely search term on this encyclopedia.

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help
Hi ,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted. Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Hello :)
Just a quick query. How is this obviously invented? Lourdes 18:40, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * In the same way that it's a blatant hoax. Multiple CSD criteria could have applied. That one seemed right. Brianga (talk) 18:44, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok. I've had some experience in obviously created articles and don't believe the article plainly indicated (and that's the critical part I guess) that the subject was invented/coined/discovered by the article's author :) It seems a vandalism and probably a hoax. Just thought I'll leave a note. Thanks for the reply and see you around. Lourdes  18:49, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
