WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter message
It has recently been brought to the attention of WP:PW that the newsletter is being to delivered to several users who have not been actively editing for several months. As a result, their talk pages have become increasingly large, unmanageable and slow to load due to a lack of archiving. In response, this message is being sent to all editors listed in Category:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants to say that anyone who does not list their name at WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 16 will be automatically listed at WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, and will no longer receive the newsletter or any notification of it. If you are added to WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, please feel free to remove your name if you desire. If you wish to continue receiving the newsletter as normal, please add your name to WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active. If you simply wish to receive notification of a new issue, but not have the full newsletter delivered to your talk page, please add your name to the notification only list. If you have any queries please contact me at my talk page or leave a message at WT:PW. Thank you for your co-operation. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 00:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Creating a Personal Page
Hi Darth,

When creating a page for a real person - does that person need to be famous? I tried to create one but my computer got stuck so I saved before I finished it and it was quick deleted.. Is there anything I should do/ make sure of before submitting to make sure it is not deleted?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Callum.wallace (talk • contribs) 20:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello! I wouldn't use the word famous, but they do have to be notable. A good indication of notability is significant coverage in reliable sources. You also shouldn't create pages about yourself, your company, your band, or your friends, etc., as this is a Conflict of Interest. You should check out Your_first_article. I'm always happy to help, as well. --  Darth Mike (talk) 20:44, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Question about your mark for our speedy deletion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Packaging

We are just now creating the framework for our company and based on some other company sites I have seen they all follow this "promotion of a company" model that we were tagged for deletion based upon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eblieb (talk • contribs) 17:25, 10 November 2016 (UTC)


 * For the most part, the thing that makes the difference between a page getting deleted and a page getting kept is significant coverage in reliable sources. Pages on wikipedia have to be notable. For instance, Berlin Packaging has references from COI Magazine, Cosmetics International, etc.
 * The best resource would be to look over WP:NCORP.
 * Also, as it appears you have a vested interest in this company, you may not want to edit/create articles about the company as that is a conflict of interest.--  Darth Mike (talk) 17:55, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Make a text about FREEDOM
Hi.Mike,I am searching for a text about freedom because I need to write about that.Please add a text about freedom!All what I could found was about PRO FREEDOM and that's usseles to me.Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by S1ndr0m22 (talk • contribs) 18:25, 10 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm unsure what exactly it is you need. There is an article on Political freedom and near the bottom of that page is other types of freedom. Is that what you're asking about? --  Darth Mike (talk) 19:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Too speedy
You tagged Johan kustandi for speedy deletion less than one minute after its creation. In general, unless an article is a blatant attack page, or blatant spam or copyright violation, you should allow the author some time to develop their thoughts before slapping on a speedy deletion tag. My general rule of thumb is to allow the user at least 15 minutes after the article creation. If they haven't expanded their simple one-liner in that time, it is likely they are just going to leave it at that, and the speedy deletion is appropriate. But tagging too fast (and really, less than one minute is too fast) is excessively bitey and drives away potentially useful new editors. Admittedly, it is unlikely that this article would amount to anything, but we don't really know that, and what is the harm in letting it sit for a few minutes before tagging it?

 * I apologize but I have no recollection of this particular page; because it was deleted, I cannot comment on whether or not I thought it was spam, vandalism, etc. --  Darth Mike (talk) 19:43, 14 November 2016 (UTC)


 * It was one sentence, stating the birth date of the subject, created by a user with the same name as the subject. In other words, garbage. You did fine. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:03, 14 November 2016 (UTC)


 * As someone who uses Twinkle and Huggle a lot, I've gotten a similar warning before, and I agree with it if it's not obvious vandalism.  — Gestrid  ( talk ) 20:14, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Evhacon (Video Game) - Marked for delition???
Hello there Mike, is there a way we can avoid the deletion of the article about Evhacon (Video Game) ?

I understand that the contributor (me) is too close to its subject, although I haven't personally wrote it myself and therefore those aren't exactly my words, my thoughts. The article itself does not serve as an instrument of advertising the game, it's just pure and simple knowledge about the product.

Would it be ok if I let a fan of the series post it instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pietro Nifosi (talk • contribs) 16:34, 15 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Just so you know, I don't actually have any authority on Wikipedia. I didn't mark your page for deletion because of the conflict of interest, I marked it per my reasoning on the deletion page. You should give your arguments there for why we should keep this article based on policy. --  Darth Mike (talk) 19:10, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Oh I see, that changes things. -- '' Pietro Nifosi  (talk)

Blow Something
Hello my name is Zaire I'm a music manager and A&R for Ruby Records I was wondering why you deleted the Blow Something Article? Is there something we can do to reopen the single page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olympus722 (talk • contribs) 05:17, 19 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I redirected to the artist's page as there wasn't enough information to warrant a seperate article. I was then going to research the artist's page to check for notability, because at first glance it did not seem like the artists passed WP:NMUSIC. However, looks like someone beat me to it.
 * You should be aware, that editing articles where you have a conflict of interest is generally not a good idea. I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have. -- Darth Mike(talk) 17:02, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Every article on Wikipedia has specific stdards. This particular article, I could not find any reliable sources to establish why this magazine is notable. If you have a policy-based reason for inclusion, I suggest you comment at the AFD. -- Darth Mike(talk) 12:37, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Puppeteering vs content ownership
Hi Mike - You weighed in on Rjensen and "sock puppet allegations" - not sure of your motives.

Can you provide the written passages that pertain to "ownership of content" as it relates to this issue, upon which you've adopted a position regarding my username? Thanx. 36hourblock (talk) 17:56, 23 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I have no motives. I looked at the dif and saw this: "Keep your sock puppets and troll performances off my article and talk pages, me bucko." Emphasis mine. -- Darth Mike(talk) 13:33, 27 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Indeed, I second your emphasis, most heartily. Aye, me bucko.

GRR
Are you just intentionally trying to irritate me, telling me I am inserting research into the article, or are people not understanding the article they themselves are quoting? The previous sentence used was false and intentionally misleading. That statement leads a reader to believe that WWE has pulled women from the event for no reason given, and then quotes Triple H on how they must respect the Saudi Arabian culture. How does that even make sense to you? I suggest you take a hard look at women's rights in Saudi Arabia and the reference the articles itself uses which says in the header "Exclusive: The likes of Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey will not compete on Friday due to Saudi Arabia’s culture, but Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque hopes the WWE can be a catalyst for change." It's blatantly spelled out for you that Saudi Arabia does not permit female superstars from competing there and that WWE and Triple H hope to change that in the future. — Moe   Epsilon  15:06, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * which says in the header "Exclusive: The likes of Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey will not compete on Friday due to Saudi Arabia’s culture, but Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque hopes the WWE can be a catalyst for change.". Correct, it does say that, but it doesn't say that fans are criticizing that the event is being held in Saudi Arabia. It specifically says "the build-up to the spectacular show has been blighted in some quarters by criticism of WWE to allow the show to go ahead without the presence of any of its female talent." For what it's worth, I agree with you that fans are being critical because the event is in Saudi Arabia, but that is not what the reference says, and that's all we have to go by.
 * So here's where we stand:
 * 1. Women are not competing because of Saudi Arabia's culture. (the sentence you quoted)
 * 2. People are being critical that the GRR are not going to have women performers. (the sentence I quoted)
 * However, you can't combine these and say that people are being critical about WWE's decision to hold the even in Saudi Arabia without a source stating that, because that's synthesis. -- Darth Mike (talk) 19:41, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Tiffany Alvord Page
Hello Darth Mike

I am contacting you today because I would like to know why my contribution to Tiffany Alvord's page has been cancelled. It has ressources that were included ( https://celebmix.com/exclusive-interview-with-tiffany-alvord/) and I consider the way it was written was good. So what was the problem?

Thank you and have a nice day

You should use references to back things up in the article, not to write about the references themselves. Thanks. -- Darth Mike (talk) 11:57, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:God of War Blood &#38; Metal.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:God of War Blood &. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
