TCPO
Hi Ebe123, you added a cook book like description of the synthesis to the page, which is for that substance not very problematic, but due to the fact that the synthesis of other materials, like drugs and explosives, would also be allowed Wikipedia made the policy that they do not allow to descriptive guides how to synthesise chemical compounds. Please have a look into the Wikipedia is not a Manual. You also used only one = for the headline, due to ancient habits, which are now unknown to most of the people, the highest headline always uses two =. Thanks, and if you need help, please ask! --Stone (talk) 21:37, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Your Request for Adminship
Although you have not transcluded your RfA, may I suggest that you have a while to go until you are ready to consider going for it.

You might want to look at User:Phantomsteve/RfA standards, which shows what I look for in a candidate - I do not think that my thinking is too far away from the average editor who comments at RfA!

If you have any questions on this (or other areas of Wikipedia), feel free to ask me!

Requests for adminship/ebe123
Hi Ebe123. I noticed you created an RfA page some time ago. I was wondering as to what the status of that RfA might be. Please let me know if you still intend to run for adminship with that RfA; otherwise, I'll go ahead and delete it for you in about a week or so from today. Regards,  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 22:08, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Stru.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Stru.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

What is the plan on cigarettes?
I was wondering what the plan was on the cigarette additives. How many are there? At what concentration? Parts per thousand level? ppm? ppb? Every chemical gets tagged in this way? What about snuff? Should we tag every chemical in this material. Bourbon? Chocolate? Trees? Houses? You get my point. So I am just wondering, because the category is well intentioned certainly but ....--Smokefoot (talk) 16:08, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Understanding that the effort is well intentioned and done in good faith, all cats of this sort will be reverted by me until a cogent plan is presented.

Fluorine peer review

Sorry for reverting
Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't trying to offend you by reverting your edits to Halifax Regional Municipality and Halifax Harbour. At first glance, the HRM edit to me looked like an attempt to promote another article (especially since you twice mentioned the link to see the article). I jumped too quick and reverted for that reason, but once I seen you were an established editor, I reverted back. While I may not agree with the way the info appears, I'll leave it too other editors to decide if and how it belongs. I did however remove the section title "Provincial" you added as the information in the section has nothing to do with provincial government. All info there is relating to the municipal level. Like I said, I jumped too quick and I appologize for that. It won't happen again. Cmr08 (talk) 02:08, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Porchfish


A tag has been placed on Porchfish requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Teapot  george Talk  22:26, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry but according to this you did sorry if that's incorrect! Regards  Teapot  george  Talk  22:38, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * This info is a bit late, I know, but in case youre still wondering, it looks like what happened was that you attempted to nominate the page for speedy deletion, but it had been already deleted by NawlinWiki a few seconds earlier, so you ended up re-creating the page with your own speedy deletion tag on. Since the early edit was deleted, you were seen by the software as the creator of the page.  Things like that will happen from time to time and it's not anyone's fault. Although the software does warn you when you attempt to recreate a page that has just been deleted, I believe Twinkle may ignore that warning.  Also it doesnt always come up, due to the lag time of the servers (usually a few seconds).  —  Soap  —  13:35, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

G1 speedy
Hi. WP:CSD wasn't the right tag for Rumex building - it's only for the likes of "5h@##!*rjk^^" or "Yaaaayyy LOL!!!!" Incoherent or bady translated English doesn't qualify. Either A7 (no indication of importance) or G11 (spam) would have done. It's important to get the right tag, so that the author, probably a newbie, gets the right message. There is good advice for speedy taggers at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M.

Also, where as here the user name is the same as the article and is obviously a group or company, it is a good thing to report them at WP:UAA as a user that may need a username block. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:09, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

speedies
A7 would not apply to a political party that has a historical role, such as Popular Socialists (Russia). There are problems with that article--it probably duplicates something else here-- but it certainly asserts importance. And Habib Sadek is asserted to have been a member of the parliament. All such are notable. And Dresser Johnson certainly indicates being an important company, whether it actually is or not. It needs a rewrite for promotionalism, but it passes the minimal requirements of A7. Please re-read  WP:CSD, and also WP:Deletion policy before placing any more deletion tags. The criteria are interpreted narrowly. If in doubt, use prod or AfD.  DGG ( talk ) 01:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I've taken a further look at your speedy nominations. Only about 3/4 of them are good--the other 1/4 have been declined by several different admins. You''ve also sometimes been using A7 when other reasons are more applicable such as G11 spam, or G12 copyvio. (It's perfectly OK to use more than one)  Looking at the timings, I think you're going too rapidly and for too long at a time. Nobody can work effectively at that rate and still give consideration to the articles. I find that when I do this sort of work my accuracy falls off rather quickly, & I have to watch that I don't do it for more than about an hour or so, because I see so much that needs deletion that I start  deleting things I should have thought better about. And, even though I've deleted as an admin over 12,000 articles, I reread the speedy criteria every once in a while, soI don't start drifting into some non-standard interpretation of my own. It's good to see people doing  NPP, but it needs to be accurate.  The criterion for passing speedy deletion are much lower than for actually passing AfD. Speedy is intended for those articles that are absolutely hopeless, and there are plenty of them.     DGG ( talk ) 04:30, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of OpenMedia.ca for deletion
The article OpenMedia.ca is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/OpenMedia.ca until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Me-123567-Me (talk) 16:54, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Bruno, Alexander Dmitrievich
Hello Ebe123. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bruno, Alexander Dmitrievich, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Professors may not all be notable, but being a professor is an assertion of importance sufficient to avoid A7.

Speedy deletion contested: BRL-32872
Hi. I have removed your A10 speedy deletion tag from BRL-32872, as you had apparently claimed it was a duplicate of itself. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:35, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy nominations
I have removed my CSDH notices per your request, but I just wanted to notify you that if you continue to incorrectly tag pages, you could face consequences. I would highly suggest that you read up at WP:CSD to see exactly what each speedy means so that you do not incorrectly tag pages in the future. Logan Talk Contributions 18:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Keeping Up With Nicole
I removed your A1 tag from Keeping Up With Nicole, as you had not allowed the creator sufficient time to establish context. For reasons A1 (no context) and A3 (no content), you need to give the creator a lot more time than the 2 minutes you allowed - you should not expect context/content to be established immediately from edit #1. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:42, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Tadeusz Myslowski
The claim that he is a "painter, printmaker, photographer", along with links to exhibitions, is probably enough to avoid A7, which only requires an assertion of importance, not actual evidence of notability - if you think notability has not been well established, please take it to WP:AfD. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:48, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Johan Yuri Yampolski
I have removed your speedy tag on Johan Yuri Yampolski, as the claim that the subject is "a Polish composer of contemporary classical music" is a sufficient claim of importance to avoid A7. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:51, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Fluorine, glass.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Fluorine, glass.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Awsome EBE123(talk | Contribs) 16:42, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Rude editing
Ebe123: Just because you want to insert an image, is no reason to revert back to your own previous version, thereby wiping out all the work of intermediate editors between. That's rude. Stop editing like a bull in a china closet. 

S B Harris 17:28, 19 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry to jump on you, but this cost me some time, and was annoying. I assumed that after being here a year and making a thousand edits, you'd have learned this by now. Yes, whenever you bring up a previous version of an article and save it, everything else is written over (this is a good way to erase a lot of vandalism, if ALL of it is past a certain version-- you just go back to the pre-vandal version and save that. If you save a previous version with good edits after it, that's usually not a problem if somebody notices this immediately, and does the reverse to YOUR edit. But if you do this and then a bunch of editors add new stuff AFTER you without noticing that you've taken out a lot of good edits (as in the fluorine article), it becomes difficult to disintangle, since good edits are mixed in with bad ones.

Category:A Class articles
Hi. I've nominated Category:A Class articles for deletion. Technically, it's on grounds that the category empty but the more substantive reason is that it duplicates Category:A-Class articles. It would also be quicker if you can nominate it yourself (author-requested deletion). To do this, just add the text to the category. Thanks, Pichpich (talk) 18:09, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure it is relevant to Globalize an article about the German Pension system. There are articles about the UK Pension system, The US Pension system and the Canadian system amongst others.--Exurbis67 (talk) 19:08, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Template:Class A article
Hi, I noticed that you created and placed it on a few pages. I also can't quickly find any discussion on the subject that you've made edits to, so I'm assuming that this is on your own initiative. I'm not sure I agree with an A-class topicon, as ratings that aren't GA or FA are somewhat fuzzy in nature. I'm going to remove the transclusions of the template you've made so far, but if you're in favour of A-class topicons, please start a thread on the proposals Village Pump and it can get wider support. If others support the idea, I'd have no problem with their re-addition to the pages you tagged or others. For posterity, here are the current mainspace pages where the template is transcluded:
 * 102nd Intelligence Wing
 * Fluorine
 * Georgia Institute of Technology

Proposed deletion of Angry dad (disambiguation)


The article Angry dad (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Orphan dab; nav function is better served by hatnotes

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fortdj33 (talk) 13:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Good article reviews
Hello, I was wondering if you plan on reviewing the articles Vision of Love and Hillel Slovak according to the Good Article criteria, or were you just adding a passing opinion? -- Beloved Freak  20:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Just a passing option Awsome EBE123(talk | Contribs) 21:49, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's fine. For future reference, the Good Article reviewer is supposed to start the review page (otherwise it gets confusing). If you want to give your opinion it is probably better to do so at the article talkpage (eg. Talk:Vision of Love, not Talk:Vision of Love/GA1), or at the relevant user's talkpage. -- Beloved Freak  22:04, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry notice
Hi Ede123, I noticed you placed a warning on my user page about a current investigation. I clicked one of the links and found this: "Only blocked accounts should be tagged as "Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets and only upon sufficient evidence that would stand up to scrutiny."

Sockpuppetry notice
Hi, I realized that you tagged me as a suspected sockpuppet of someone. At least I realized that there is a case ongoing about me after this change in my userpage becasue the accuser never left a warning. But my question is, are you supposed to tag me before the case is finished becasue there is no decision in the case or you should just put a notification on my talk section. If this tag is unnecessary until there is a decision please remove it. Thank you. Ali55te (talk) 01:54, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Wasn't deleted; I typed the address without the space between the name and the "2". Try it again.

Yes, I am happy to give you some tips. You might see this as a bit picky, but you might think about removing the word "awesome" from your sig. It is, after all, not part of your name. When we are working in CSD, pages labelling someone as awsome are nearly always deletable, and the word carries negative connotations. Advice in more general terms:- continue to make edits in article-space; do new-page patrolling; where appropriate make nominations to AIV; take part in discussions at AfD; and any other editing that you feel comfortable doing; always leave edit summaries; amass another thousand or so non-automated edits; do not edit-war and do not do anything to get blocked. While edit-count is not critical, a count of perhaps four thousand edits will usually satisfy all but the most difficult editors. When you get there, get nominated.

Hi. You moved a new page to this name, but there is already an article Enugu State University of Science and Technology lowercase 'of', is the only difference. I have therefore tagged the page for speedy deletion. Happy editing! - 220.101 User talk:220.101.28.25\ 10:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Questioning NickPenguin's Username?
On the RfC page, you questioned the user name but did not state a reason for doing so. Personally, I have a problem whenever anyone says, "concerns have been raised". What concerns? Raised by whom? Anonymous accusations are really detrimental to the cooperative process, wouldn't you agree?

On his Talk page, you said, "Concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with policy." May I ask to what policy are you referring? I read the cited page and see nothing that even comes close to conflicting with the name.

If I'm missing something or am otherwise off-base, please tell me why. Otherwise, I think it would be fair for you to explain your actions (or retract your assertions). &mdash; <b style="color:black">Uncl</b><b style="color:darkred">eBubba</b> ( T @ C ) 16:44, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Warning re: Not Following RfC/UN Policy
The policy listed at the top of the RfC/UN page states very clearly:


 * Before adding a name here YOU MUST ensure that:


 * * the user in question has been notified and allowed time to discuss the concern on their talk page. You may use the template for this purpose. Only post the issue here if they have refused to change their username or have continued to edit without reply.

You posted a not-very-explanatory note to the user's Talk page at 08:25 ET this morning and added the RfC/UN entry about a minute later. From my reading of the policy, this is a violation thereof. Frankly, it's not very friendly either, nor is it likely to engender cooperation.

If I've made a mistake of fact, please let me know. Otherwise, don't do this again.

Thank you. &mdash; <b style="color:black">Uncl</b><b style="color:darkred">eBubba</b> ( T @ C ) 17:12, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of RfX Report
A tag has been placed on RfX Report, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it.

Please be careful
I see you making a lot of edits, of various types, which are being reverted by other users. Even if your intentions are all good, you need to listen to others' advice if you want to stay around as a long term editor. If you have doubts about whether an edit is good, don't do it. If you see something that is really important and need advice, ask for help. If you are sure that what you're doing is for the good, it would help to explain why. For example your recent edits relating to the RfX report, it took me a while to figure out that you were trying to build a page without using cross-namespace redirects. (Why not just redirect them to the Wikipedia:RfX Stats page, by the way, instead of deleting?)  — Soap  —  13:43, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Your reverts: too frequent?
Dear Ebe123 (dear "page patroller"), Last night you reverted a change I did. Looking at your contribution list for the 27th of March, the Wikipedia co-workers will find an incredibly long list of entries like "reverted", "rejected ..".

Did you ever consider refocussing your efforts? E.g. improving article contents instead of patrolling pages. Or reviewing references that your Wikipedea co-workers entered. --84.131.255.110 (talk) 06:05, 28 March 2011 (UTC) talk PS: The reason for your revert was: "Where is the thing that said that the year changed".

Your rollback request
Hello Ebe123, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see New admin school/Rollback. Good luck.

Rejected change to "Chernobyl disaster" article
Hi Ebe123,

I recently edited the Chernobyl disaster article, changing one of the figures to its English version, the original being in Italian. However, I saw you rejected my change. Since I seldom edit Wikipedia, and hence have little experience of doing so, if it's not too much to ask, can you please tell me what I have done wrong?

Thanks! Alex.bikfalvi (talk) 14:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Ebe123, you should not have reverted this change, in my opinion. Alex.bikfalvi's edit replaced an Italian-captioned image with one having an English legend, which is a good thing to do in the English Wikipedia. I put the image back. As several folks have pointed out, some of your reverts are questionable. Please be more careful and try harder to learn about what you're doing before doing it. Thank you. &mdash; <b style="color:black">Uncl</b><b style="color:darkred">eBubba</b> ( T @ C ) 15:30, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, sorry, I thought that it was an image and you changed the link.  EBE123  talkContribs 15:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * It was an image and he did change the link. Nevertheless, it was a good edit because the article (in English) was pointing to an image with Italian captions. He changed it to call up an image with English captions.


 * I think you really do mean well but I believe it would be a good idea for you to slow down and adopt a when in doubt, don't do it approach. Of course, you are under no obligation to do that. I just think it would be best if we were careful not to lose good edits.


 * Also, your replies on your Talk page would be much more readable if you put a blank line above them or (better yet), increase the indent (by increasing the number of colons ":" at the beginning of the line.) &mdash; <b style="color:black">Uncl</b><b style="color:darkred">eBubba</b> ( T @ C ) 18:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

 * New page patrol tip: it's really good that you're trying not to delete too hastily: with the ones you're not sure about, it's best just not to mark them as patrolled, so someone more experienced will patrol them. You could add them to your watchlist if you want to see what happened to them.

New page patrol - Joel Christopher
Hi Ebe, sorry to pile on about new page patrol, but here's another one: You marked Joel Christopher as patrolled, basically saying that the article is ok to keep, and that nobody else needs to patrol it. It is a classic candidate for WP:CSD deletion though. It is a biography about a person that merely discusses his birth place, religion, family and interests. Can you see anything in the article that seems to indicate importance?

Also, if you check the name of the editor that created the article, it is the same as the person the article is about, which is another clue that there may be a problem. Please try to be more careful, and to echo something said above: if you're not sure about an article, just leave it, don't mark it as patrolled because when you do, someone else is less likely to check it. If you juet leave it and move onto something that you are more sure of, someoen else will come along and patrol it. -- Beloved Freak  11:16, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Categorization
Hi Ebe. Thanks for contributing to WP:UNCAT. However, please avoid things like this or this or this among the examples I checked. The goal is not to find some category to fit the article: it's to categorize it precisely. This is often difficult because it sometimes requires knowledge about the subject (which one rarely has). But if one can't do this, it's important to either leave the categorization to someone else or take the time to look around for a better category. Categories like Category:Actors, Category:Bacteria or Category:Mathematics are not meant to categorize such very specific articles. This is even said explicitly at the top of the actors category. When you use this for categorization, you're just handing the problem to whomever periodically cleans up these categories. Also looking at this and the time tags, I'm worried that you're not taking the required time to do this properly and I would kindly ask you to slow down.
