Speedy deletion of Talk:Roy Morales
Procedural question for you here. You speedied this one citing G7 (author blanking). However, as this is the talkpage of an actual article stub, I was wondering why this criteria applied. You deleted it before I even had a chance to see what the content that was added to that talkpage was, and perhaps respond. Unitanode 06:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It basically just said "please don't delete this" and then was blanked. No reason to keep it hanging around. --Closedmouth (talk) 07:34, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. Thanks for the quick response! Unitanode  12:30, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

REQUEST RESTORATION OF ARTICLE
Hi,

You deleted my page "DartHeart" within the past few days. I'm not sure why you deleted something under my personal page; when I read the guide, it seemed to say that the place to start playing around with pages was on your own subpage so it wouldn't be deleted according to Wikipedia guidelines. So because I was fully aware that it was not ready to be published, I created it as a subpage of my own personal page precisely so it WOULD NOT be deleted before it was ready to be published. I've been working on exclusively this for the past week and am furious to find it completely scrapped. Please restore it, or at least give me the content, so I can keep working on it and get it in shape for publication. Thanks.

Catmcc27 (talk) 07:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but the article being in your user space doesn't excuse the fact that it's written purely as an advertisement, which is exactly what it was. We take NPOV very seriously around here (at least we try to), and spam isn't tolerated wherever it is. --Closedmouth (talk) 09:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I wasn't planning on publishing it in that form; I was using it as a central location for my work that could be seen by the other people I'm working on it with. I wasn't aware that if it was on my personal subpage it could still be widely viewed and considered a real Wikipedia article. Could you temporarily restore it, or send me the text, so I can get my writing back please? Catmcc27 (talk) 20:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Got it. Catmcc27 (talk) 20:49, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Moving the page Nneka Egbuna
Hallo Closedmouth, I am new at en.wikipedia and need your help. I have completed this page (before registration at en.wikipedia, my IP is 77.22.129.107) and tried to give the page another name - just Nneka (musician), but it failed. The reason for moving (or renaming) should be: most Europeans and English speakers know this singer/songwriter as Nneka (that is her first and artist name) and not as Nneka Egbuna. I would appreciate your help with this. Greetings from Hamburg --Lara Janssen (talk) 22:02, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There is already a disambiguation page at Nneka, which means you can't move the article there without some complicated wrangling and some evidence she's the "most notable" Nneka. I would suggest either moving it to Nneka (singer) (not ideal because her name is already being disambiguated by her surname) or just rewriting the lead to say something like: Nneka Egbuna, known primarily as [just?] Nneka...etc. Hope that helps. --Closedmouth (talk) 12:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Closedmouth, thank you very much for your help. I have already moved Nneka Egbuna to Nneka (singer) and corrected the disambiguation page. Best regards --Lara Janssen (talk) 22:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Closedmouth...
First, that Jimbo head freaked me out. Nice one...

I've been looking for a skilled wikignome, and you sure are fast.

I've been staring at WP:OOK and outlines for almost 4 years now. I'm certain I've gone blind to things you would notice instantly.

Would you look over the system of outlines and their WikiProject, please?

And do what you do best.

At your leisure, of course.

Thank you

AWB
Sorry. I'm relatively new to the use of the AutoWikiBrowser. I mainly registered for the use of the software in order to fix disambiguation links, but the last couple days I have used it more for general fixes, because I hadn't yet figured out how to turn them off in the settings. I will be careful in the future to only use AWB for more significant edits. Fortdj33 (talk) 18:39, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Rocketbusta Radio
Recently you deleted a page that me and one of my friends were working on entitled Rocketbusta Radio. The page was about a wrestling podcast of the fanoff radio network and we have be trying to make one for a while but have been to busy to do, and have not finished it yet. So if you could put the page back up that would be kind of you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LantaRox (talk • contribs) 11:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Implausible redirect?
I noticed your ANI notification. Just how many things have you done similar to this? This is haphhazard: This was a redirect of a person's name to a section on an existing article which described the character. How exactly is this 'implausible'? I realize you are an administrator and doing this on the word of another (BK), however I do think it is very important to individually review these. I can't view deletions under contributions, do you know if there is a list where I can view what you have deleted, so that I can explain other potential problems? Okay I found what I figure are most of them (at least those done by you) here from Akakei at 8:26 to X1 Mask at 10:48. You clearly did spend some time on it, but even so, I have read through WP:CSD as this is the rule you listed on all the deletions. I need an explanation on how this applies. These are neither typos, nor misnomers. They are names of characters clearly listed on the pages (and thus: more than plausible). R3 even says that redirects from other languages are useful so this only supports the creation of these Japanese terms and names. I would like to know if there is a way to mass-undelete and restore these redirects so that they can be properly reviewed at WP:RFD. Tyciol (talk) 05:30, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * For the record, I didn't think any of the redirects I deleted were useful in any way, but this has gone beyond personal opinions so I'll leave it to The Community to mull it over. --Closedmouth (talk) 12:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know ...
I ended up re-blocking a user who in my view continued to edit war after an unblock. The thread is here. I didn't undertake this lightly, especially when a respected admin such as yourself was kind enough to unblock a user. I'm actually not partial to "blocking" myself, but this situation appeared to be ramping up rather quickly across multiple page after your unblock. Hopefully you'll understand why I felt the need to curb his behavior, and not be annoyed with my actions. Cheers. — Ched : ?  13:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine. At the time I didn't think the circumstances warranted a block, but his subsequent behaviour wasn't acceptable. Good block. --Closedmouth (talk) 14:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC) (Wait, respected? When??)

I am running out of "wikilove"
I think the heading makes it very clear. Every single day, i first have to check which part of my contribs have be vandalized at MQM and Altaf Hussain. And obviously the problem gets more complex when there have been positive edits AFTER the article has been vandalized. Its hard to keep faking a smile even when i am not smiling. I cannot go on telling User Pk7311 again and again that your so and so edit qualifies as vandalism so please ":)" take a little care next time. So will you please .... please.... take some permanent action against user Pk7311 if you are admin or kindly ask some other admin to do so. Is it somehow possible to check if User:Pk7311 and User:Syed9090 share the same IP address? Hamza [ talk ] 02:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Revision history of Chan Kowk Wai
Hi Closedmouth, You removed a submission for speedy deletion which ran beyond the date of deletion (July 29) since there was had been no response from the original author of the article. In fact, the original author's page does not exist. On July 29th, another user "WCheck" contested the deletion by deleting the template. That person apparently deleted their page, too. Since the WCheck had deleted their user page, I rolled back the page to edit prior to WCheck; ThaddeusB. I gave an additional warning on the discussion page that the page would be deleted on July 31. The page had not been legitimately contested. I am rolling back your change to ThaddeusB's edit. I am taking this course of action for the reasons explained in the speedy deletion template and since both the original author and the user who deleted the template have nonexistent pages. Please feel free to discuss this matter with me so I have a better understanding of why you would support the deletion of a legitimate template by someone who does not stand behind their actions. Thank you.Clftruthseeking (talk) 22:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Have you read WP:CONTESTED? If anyone removes a prod tag for any reason, the template should not be reinstated. You incorrectly reverted the removal of a prod tag as vandalism. The fact that a user does not have a user page does not have any bearing on the legitimacy of their edits. --Closedmouth (talk) 06:30, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually I did read WP Contested. As far as I can tell, there are two elements for consideration; (1) the deletion took place hours past the time the page was to be deleted (if it had been deleted promptly, we would probably not be having this discussion). You did not respond to this aspect of my first question to you and chose to focus on whether or not I read WP Contested; (2) I find it inconsistent that for a user who does not have a page it is okay to edit and remove a PROD, yet, if it is only an user with an IP address it is not acceptable and the PROD can be replaced. Though you say it has no bearing, how can one be sure it is not simply a sock puppet with self interest or publicity in mind? Either way, I did appreciate your direction to the AfD and am following that guideline. In all honesty, my reverting the edit as vandalism was accidental. I had not used that procedure and did not realize the significance of the action. I thought I had cancelled it once all the bells and whistles started, but apparently my attempt to cancel was too late in the process. For this I was at fault.Clftruthseeking (talk) 00:19, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Both of your objections, (1) and (2) are irrelevant; if an article is deleted via prod, any request to have the article restored should be respected, and an IP removing a prod tag is fine, and should also be respected. There are plenty of regular editors who don't have a userpage, it doesn't mean anything. --Closedmouth (talk) 07:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As I am relatively new to the Wiki, I obviously misunderstood that registering as a user holds one to a certain degree of accountability for whatever the individual writes or edits. Honestly, I think it would make the Wiki more credible overall if that were the case. A discussion for another time and place. BTW - Is that a photo of you that peeks from the side? It is somewhat eerie, but a clever effect. Clftruthseeking (talk) 01:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

David Rowlands, military artist
Dear Sir,

I have had an entry called 'David Rowlands, military artist' for a few years in Wikipedia.

I now see that you have deleted it.

It was a factual account of my work as an artist, and correct in all details. You can see further details about my work as an artist on my website:  www.davidrowlands.co.uk

I would be grateful if you would kindly re-instate my Wikipedia entry.

Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully,

The Clarence speedy deletion
Hi. I noticed you speedy deleted this article because of G12 reasons. While I don't know what the content of that article was like, I do know this is a very notable hotel, arguably the most prestigious in Ireland and has been the very in-depth subject of reliable secondary sources. (It's owned by U2 to boot). Can you recreate the article as a non-copyright violation stub?--Oakshade (talk) 04:26, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking into the article's history shows the copyright violation was there from the start, in the very first revision. I would suggest starting from scratch, as there's nothing to salvage apart from categories. --Closedmouth (talk) 18:07, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello.
Hello Closedmouth, I have a concern. I noticed you deleted the Tyrannosaurus Rex (film) article. I realize this was because it was listed, but I was wondering if you had taken into account the fact that I had, just an hour or so ago, added new sources and new material, before you deleted it. I understand the policy of new films, and I am behind it, but I was wondering if it were possible to gain access to the deleted page so the material could possibly be merged into Rob Zombie's article, so it will not be lost? Thank you. --HELLØ   ŦHERE 13:29, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Quickly, I'd also like to point out that there wasn't a discussion for the deletion of the article. At least, not to my personal recollection. It was listed, and then sources were added, as far as I am aware, no discussion took place. --HELLØ    ŦHERE 13:31, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * See Articles for deletion/Tyrannosaurus Rex (film). Article says it's not gotten past the pre-production stage, not much point in recreating it until they start shooting. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:43, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I very much understand, I hadn't been aware of that. I only began watching the page a month or so ago, then noticed the prod posted a few days ago, and I decided to find and add sources. I very much understand that it should not be recreated, and I agree. But would it be possible to access the material to add to his article so it would not have to be searched for again?  --HELLØ    ŦHERE 13:48, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for notifying me of the copyright tag. However, I do not know how one would go about tagging this article. The image is copyrighted to Five Finger Death Punch, would it be possible for you to put it in there yourself? Morbus Rising (talk) 15:42, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I went to bed just as you asked this. But it seems you've figured it out anyway. The problem is that the image is replaceable, which means it fails the first criterion of our non-free content policy. It will probably be deleted, sorry. --Closedmouth (talk) 06:57, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

File:Hyakinthos.jpg‎
Hi, i saw you had deleted this file, as it was empty/corrupt. This was because it had no licence at commons, but as i had a copy of the image saved, i re-uploaded it here. I've added information on the source, but was wondering if there was more detail in the deleted version. Is it possible for you to check and/or copy any description info back onto the page? I consider it to be PD either way, but an author of the photo is always better than unknown, as it might affect how it can be used in other countries. Thanks either way.

Speedy deletion nomination of Paint, It Black
Please do not move pages to nonsensical titles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to learn more about moving pages, please see the guidelines on this subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Finite Well figures
I have reloaded these with - I hope - suitable copyright statements (they are my own work). Annafitzgerald (talk) 13:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that looks fine. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:14, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Angel Heartz
Can I please have a copy of the stated page? My sister got on this account and I want to see what she has done. Thanks Eurovision 2009 and 2010Sasha SonSakis Rouvas 16:01, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know which page you're talking about. A link would be nice. --Closedmouth (talk) 15:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, I would think it would be obvious, thats why it says Angel Heartz at the top. Angel Heartz is the page. Eurovision 2009 and 2010Sasha SonSakis Rouvas 19:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Angel Heartz never existed. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Midget Cum Mustache
I don't understand how you can validate deleting my page on the band "Midget Cum Mustache" because they are insignificant? They have a huge cult following in the Arkansas punk scene and have pretty much started a new sub-genre in the area. I think this is entirely based on one user's opinion on what is important and what isn't. I wasn't through editing their wiki yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roncore.pfts (talk • contribs) 14:41, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, they don't appear to be notable in any sense of the word. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

UserNewerapestcontrol
Hi. I was wondering if could ask about your block of this user. They didn't appear to have edited yet, so I wasn't sure why you hardblocked them. Thanks! TN X</b> Man 14:08, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ugh, let's just say my reading comprehension is failing me. --Closedmouth (talk) 02:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that, I appreciate it. Jrcla2 talk 03:52, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Many thanx, I feel very flattered by your compliment, but I feel I could do even better. I didn´t wanted to bother you but, can I ask you, what exactly means the autoreviewing right? Best regards. Filip FkpCascais (talk) 04:01, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Great, many, many thanx again! FkpCascais (talk) 04:15, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Blademaster (Transformers)
Hi Closedmouth! :) Can you explain to me why you disagreed with the proposed deletion of Blademaster (Transformers)? Did you find reliable sources? Regards,  The left orium  15:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The prod was contested here, and was subsequently restored incorrectly. --Closedmouth (talk) 02:36, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were the one who contested it first. I'll take it to AfD. :)  The left orium  14:07, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Regarding this edit
It seems rather strange that you added to the article, since there were two online references provided in the references section. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, missed those. Should be blpsources then. --Closedmouth (talk) 14:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

List of atheists (science and technology)
Hello Closedmouth. Would you mind unprotecting this article? There is consensus to move this and the other sublists, changing "atheists" in the titles to "nontheists." I believe this might calm the Einstein controversy. If not, maybe reprotection after the move would be in order. Please let me know. Thanks! Nick Graves (talk) 02:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's okay, I didn't move-protect it. Also the protection expires today, so...whatever. --Closedmouth (talk) 03:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

User:70.48.196.191
Per past instances of short term blocks (blocks under 1 week in length) being ineffective against preventing repeated vandalism by the individual who vandalizes articles regarding Haim Saban, I am requesting that you extend the block on to at least two weeks in length, as this length was previously effective in forcing this long term vandal to change his IP following the two-week long block on. Disabling talk page editing will also be effective in preventing further abuse from this IP, as he has clearly shown that he will blank warnings and the talk page with his screed.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 04:28, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Heya closedmouth. Apologies for the delay in the response. I'm more than happy to endorse your unblock request. Hopefully the user will be more careful when involved in small disputes, and also ensure not to be logged out, particularly when reverting another user. There are no other real issues at stake so see no need to continue to enforce the block. Sedd&sigma;n talk|WikimediaUK 11:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey, wonder what happens when I push THAT button...
Thank you. At least I didn't delete the main page. I haven't done much with image deletion, and couldn't understand why the log showed the image had been deleted, repeatedly, when it was still visible. Was it only visible to admins? Was it completely screwed-up? WTF? Confusion and button-pushing resulted. I thought I had deleted the image, and then it was *still* there. That should have clued me in that something was wrong. Even weirder, in some views my deletion buttons were active, and in others not, and in others there were buttons I'd never seen before. I think I was too crispy to realize I was going back and forth between en-wiki and Commons. Eeek. Again, thank you for fixing it :-) -  Kathryn NicDhàna  ♫ ♦ ♫ 21:26, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
