Deauxma
Hello Cbrown1023, I want to talk to you about pornographic actress Deauxma's article, which you deleted on May 11, 2007 and fully protected it. This is understandable since the article was recreated over and over again a total of four times, three of those being in one month, and I don't see how Deauxma could have possibly passed WP:PORNBIO back then either. Here's the thing, it's been over six years and Deauxma has come a long way since then. She does pass the notability criteria on WP:PORNBIO now since she has received three performer award nominations from two major adult industry award ceremonies (AVN & XBIZ awards) which I have listed and sourced on my sandbox so you can take a look at them. Would you please consider restoring this article and/or removing the lock from it? Rebecca1990 (talk) 16:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Please don't do this without a DRV. There have been deletion discussions which concluded that the "MILF"/"Cougar" awards cited here fail the "well-known/significant" standard in PORNBIO, with none reaching a contrary conclusion, and the contrary claim was just raised and rejected at DRV earlier this month. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 12:16, 15 August 2013 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, I was talking to Cbrown1023, not you. Apparently, Cbrown1023 has not been on WP in over a month but I will patiently await his response. Rebecca1990 (talk) 14:58, 15 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I would say the same thing as Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. I didn't make the decision to delete the article, the community did during an articles for deletion discussion and then confirmed it in a deletion review. (Actually, the only thing I did was convert an old way of protecting the article from recreation to a new way after the feature was added to the software.) If you want to create the article, I suggest you start a discussion at deletion review.  Cbrown1023   talk   15:02, 15 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I wanted to start a discussion at deletion review, but the the instructions say to "discuss the matter with the closing administrator and try to resolve it with him or her first". That is why I contacted you, to discuss Deauxma's article. I already explained the reasons why I think it should be recreated and unlocked and I will elaborate on that. And also, Deauxma's article was deleted four times but there was only one deletion discussion for it here, which took place over seven years ago. I'm guessing it was probably speedily deleted the other three times because it was a re-post of the same material which didn't pass WP:PORNBIO. I haven't been able to find the deletion review you mentioned though. 6-7 years is a long time and this deletion discussion no longer applies today. WP:PORNBIO states "Has won a well-known and significant industry award, or has been nominated for such an award several times", which means Deauxma passes the criteria now since she has been nominated for these awards. Would you consider restoring or unlocking the article? Rebecca1990 (talk) 16:43, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Deletion review for Deauxma
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Deauxma. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Rebecca1990 (talk) 09:16, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Stiarts erid
Stiarts erid has been calling me a bully and an illiterate, ever since he started the edit war on The Fog (2005 film). I am sure that he is reading this post now. He causing an edit war and he insults people. He has no respect of Wikipedia's terms, and instead he do whatever he wants. He needs to be block now!!!!!!!!!!!--NeoBatfreak (talk) 21:51, 12 September 2013 (UTC) Well actually all I did was contribute to it then to be told no but they would not listen to what i had to say and made no effort to comprimise so we were both happy. This shows very stubborn behaviour. This editor NeoBatfreak (talk) is known for his illiteracy and although my spelling is not great, his grammar can be very bad to the point of not making sense. In his archives other editors have also noted this. I also believe he is a sock puppet account to make it look like other editors are siding with him. He will not stop trying to be right and can't accept other editors make contribbutions too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stiarts erid (talk • contribs) 08:00, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I am not a sock pupptet. This editor has been repeatedly using offensive name calling to everyone. Check his talk page which alot of people are complaining.  I admits that I have issues with grammar, which is a part of my learning disability which I am trying to conquer, but he made abusive comment on me, calling me a bully and an illiterate. At least I do not make abusive comments on his spellings. Does Wikipedia tolerates abusive behavior?!--NeoBatfreak (talk) 13:23, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

If you look at my talk page you will see I made several attempts to be civil and resolve it so we were both happy but this was refused point blank. If you can't cope with being called a name in the heat of a moment disscusion you can't cope with much. I called two people names so that is not everyone and it was provoked as no one would take any notice of what I wanted to say just focused on what they wanted. This editor can not let it rest and let my version stay and is being very stubborn and awkward about it like a spoilt little brat in many ways. If he would as much as consider my edits I would be happy even if it was not how I wrote them originally. (talk  —Preceding undated comment added 16:18, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * If you two are still having this issue, I'd suggest bringing it up on the administrators' noticeboard where they might be able to investigate the issue and help you further.  Cbrown1023   talk   22:38, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Requesting review of article for neutrality
Hey, a friend called attention to this wiki about Gabriel Over the White House as being too politically slanted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_Over_the_White_House

Could someone review it, please? I don't know the movie at all, but even I can tell the article has a strong anti-FDR slant.

Thanks.

Error in Greek Linear A Translation History
'Linear A is one of two currently undeciphered writing systems used in ancient Crete.'

This is not correct

Here is the history of it's translation:

'During the second half of the1980ies, Kjell Aartun, who had been engaged in the study of Old Semitic languages and culture for more than 40 years, was able, due to his vast knowledge of these languages, to identify some words on the Minoan Disc from Phaistos (ca. 1600 BC), written in a hieroglyphic script, which gave a clue to the decipherment of the whole disc. With the phonetic values of the hieroglyphs identified on one side of the disc, the correctness of the decipherment can be proven by applying the phonetic values to the other side. If an understandable text in the same language and grammatical system, and even consistent with the content of the text on the other side, then appears, the reading of the disc must be correct. The deciphered words belong to an old South Semitic language. The iconography of the hieroglyphs, the content and style of the text, fitted perfectly into the framework of old Semitic tradition and fertility religion. Dr. Aartun gives ample evidence in Die Minoische Schrift. Band I that the Minoan culture is predominantly Semitic.

Applying this discovery to the Linear A script, based on the phonetic values of the deciphered syllables of Linear B, he was able to read the Linear A tablets. Thus, through his decipherment of the tablets, the forgotten Minoan language was identified as a South Semitic language, spoken in the Southern part of Arabia (Yemen) in the Early Bronze Age. Those interested in Dr. Aartun’s method of decipherment and his readings of all Minoan written evidence discovered and published until then, in Linear A and in the hieroglyphic script, should consult his treatises published by Harrassowitz Verlag, Wiesbaden, Die Minoische Schrift. Sprache und Texte. Band I (1992), and Band II (1997). The printing was supported by the Norwegian Research Council for Science and the Humanities, and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. In 2001 Dr. Aartun was awarded the King’s Gold Medal of Merit for his Decipherment of Minoan script and language, recommended by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. The first volume contains his method of deciphering the phonetic values of the Minoan hieroglyphs and his translation of the Phaistos Disc and other hieroglyphic inscriptions, and the second volume his translations of all the Linear A tablets and inscriptions. The languages of the disc and of the Linear A tablets proved to be Semitic, and he also establishes a grammar of the Minoan languages, which are structurally South Semitic languages.'

I found this at:

http://jarnaes.wordpress.com/1-minoan-crete-linear-a/

The sixth paragraph after the third picture (about the third screen, if scrolling).

I was unable to follow the convoluted method for contacting the correct person. I am no longer the man I was as a professor. In my age, I hope you shall give this to the proper person to change this wonderful discovery!
