User talk:Desertally

I was just a victim of vandalism....
Snatchproof81 has tried to co-opt my own user page, and identify me as someone that I am not. It appears that he/she is someone with a vendetta, which may have come with my efforts, along with other editors, to correct the page Seven Storey Mountain.Desertally (talk) 15:21, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I reported the attempted outing to oversight & it has been suppressed. In future don't confirm or deny information relating to your actual identity, just request that it be hidden.--Mrmatiko (talk) 18:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: Oversight
Done and page protected. In the future, requests should be sent to the mailing list though; I was away from my comp all day so who knows how often that was viewed before Courcelles deleted it. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

In response to your feedback
Hi, the best advice I can give here is just to deny recognition. The vandals will stop if they realise it's just a waste of their time. However, the vandals changes to your pages have been deleted from Wikipedia, meaning it is no longer visible to anyone apart from Bureaucrats. If they do come back, notify an admin or me. If you have any more questions, feel free to leave me a message.

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tickertape Parade (band)


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Tickertape Parade (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://asuwebdevilarchive.asu.edu/issues/2003/01/31/ent/355458. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 05:39, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States from BYU
Hi, I'm Lwarrenwiki. Desertally, thanks for creating List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States from BYU!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The complete List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States indicates law schools, so notability of any list of law clerks by school is highly questionable.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 18:50, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States from BYU
Hello, Desertally,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States from BYU should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/List of law clerks of the Supreme Court of the United States from BYU.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Lwarrenwiki (talk) 19:02, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
