New Page Patrolling
Hi. Thank you for patrolling  new pages; I'm  just  letting  you  know that  I  have declinde your speedy  deletion  nomination  of Batool Al-Mishqab because: far too  soon  for A1 or A3. Please give this article at least  20 mintes to  allow time to be sure that  it  will or will  not  be further developed, and then return to  to  it  and tag  it  appropriately. Please read WP:NPP and WP:DELETION for more information. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:10, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Make sure you check it in 20 or 30 minutes, I already did. § FreeRangeFrog 02:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Men Who Built America, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page History Channel (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Redirects as backdoor Speedy Deletes
I will be reverting your redirects for the pages that I created for Anthony Habgood‎ and Erik Engstrom‎.

I believe that both people meet the BLP notability criteria. If you believe that that is not the case, and that they might meet the deletion criteria, then an AfD or Speedy Deletion nomination would appear to be a more suitable approach than deletion under the guise of redirection. Edwardx (talk) 11:50, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * See WP:AGF please. If I wanted to try to delete the pages, I would have done so. § FreeRangeFrog 16:41, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I have restored the redirect to Anthony Habgood into an article. As he is Chairman of two FTSE 100 companies, a redirect to just one of those is not really practical. I have also expanded the article to include some of his wider notability. If you want others to consider the notability I suggest you try AFD. Edwardx (talk) 22:21, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Please don't restore crap to Wikipedia
There is nothing in that article that belongs in main space. To maintain it for the opportunity to discuss it is the worst reason I have heard for having a blog in main space--it's pure bureaucracy without context or meaning offered as a reason.

Speedy deletion declined: Throne and altar
Hello FreeRangeFrog. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Throne and altar, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: this is not a DAB page which "disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages" - it has three links. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 18:08, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Getting late here so if it is ok will clean up footnotes tomorrow. In line citations 1-3 are correct, but need to put in the rest. Some of the articles can serve as an overall source, since they reference multiple aspects of the entry. I also don't know how to delete the foot notes duplications (not sure if you know but would be great if you could let me know or point me to tutorial) so I may have to start over from scratch to make sure the inlines are in synch with the footnotes down below without duplication.

Had to remove speedy - all I can get from MySpace about the page "This user has either cancelled their membership, or their account has been deleted."

New Page Patrol
Hi FreeRangeFrog, I was just wondering why you marked List of sexy Philippine actresses as patrolled? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:55, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean. I found it, it was already PRODed, I marked it as reviewed. Is there a problem? § FreeRangeFrog 03:56, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The issue is that if the creator removes the PROD tag, there is a much bigger likelihood that the issues with the page (such as, that it is unreferenced and so on) will go unchecked or at least untagged. Have a look at the article namespace checklist before you make a page as patrolled (whether it's tagged for deletion or not). In any case, thanks for helping clear the backlog unpatrolled new pages. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I keep all the pages in my watch list - if it had been de-prodded I would have noticed and taken it to AfD. Not marking it wouldn't have made a lot of difference. There are thousands of unpatrolled pages. The problem is that there is no CSD criteria for a page like that, otherwise that's what I would have done. § FreeRangeFrog 05:19, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Hence the reason I PRODed it, have a look at this Template:Proposed deletion endorsed. In this case it doesn't matter as much as it is almost certain that it will be deleted, but you need to be careful, otherwise things like this slip through the cracks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Heidi Seeman


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Heidi Seeman, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It covers a topic on which we already have an article - :. (See section A10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at :, or to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. § FreeRangeFrog 00:32, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keeping this here to remind myself how it looks to other people when we CSD their contributions - We need to be more friendly. § FreeRangeFrog 00:07, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

 * There was nothing to save - I just tagged it. At first glance it seems to meet the notabilty guidelines, but I am not entirely sure. Make sure you expand it and add references to ensure it is a quality article. § FreeRangeFrog 00:45, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

What do you think is an appropriate time frame to wait for feedback regarding a name chnge on an article that has had only a few edits in the past few years? Parsh (talk) 03:58, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I would wait a couple of days. If you get no response, and you are able to prove that your move is valid because you have multiple sources that support the naming convention you claim is the correct one, then myself or any other established editor or admin can help you move it. Alternatively, you can create a new page with the name you prefer (please use correct casing this time) and redirect it to the original one. § FreeRangeFrog 04:01, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Scott Hetsko for deletion
What do you want me to do to fix the article? Why are you so interested in taking it down? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NY15203 (talk • contribs) 18:34, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:GNG. The subject of that biography simply does not meet the notability guidelines as of now. I suggest you add references that would support its inclusion. Quite simply, he's just a meteorologist, a local celebrity perhaps, and known or recognized for nothing more. Believe me, I checked. Finally, suggesting articles for deletion is never about deleting them, it's about finding reasons to keep them. § FreeRangeFrog 23:44, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Re: Jeff Wellbaum
I'm afraid I can make no good argument against this. Go ahead and delete Jeff Wellbaum, or if you don't have that power, direct it to someone who does. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:51, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I tried but couldn't find additional sources that would establish his notability beyond that one event. Maybe you can! It's not going to be deleted tomorrow, you have time. Or, if you can suggest an appropriate redirect then we could go with that instead. § FreeRangeFrog 03:54, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Except that I can't think of anything else either - I don't know of him ever running for any other office and nothing else about him seems particularly notable, other than that he apparently ran back in 2010 also and then withdrew his name. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:58, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh well. We'll let the PROD run its course, maybe someone will rescue it. § FreeRangeFrog 03:59, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Poor guy - he couldn't even get 20% of the vote and now he's probably about to have his article deleted from Wikipedia. :D ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:19, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Don't bite the newbies! Labeling BRC's participation in the production of a book calling itself the "New New Testament" is unquestionably controversial. This isn't editorializing, literally people have challenged him for this and he himself admits that this book is controversial. On his own blog he even suggested adding language to his wikipedia article extremely similar to the language I added, including the word controversial. Please get your facts in order before you go around threatening to block me from editing. If you bully me again I will report you to the wikipedia police who will block you from blocking me.

Speedy delete tagging
Hi FreeRangeFrog, thanks for patrolling new pages. Regarding your tagging of NSW School Band Festival, I just wanted to let you know that it's important to check each and every article for copyright violations whether you are tagging it for speedy deletion under a different criterion. This is because if a page is tagged under G12 it leaves a special notice on the admin's dashboard as these need to be deleted fairly quickly. However speedy deleted articles can usually be moved into a user's userspace so they can continue working on them, except if they are copyright violations, so correctly tagging saves time and trouble later on. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 23:55, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your notice. I can appreciate what you're saying, but in all honesty it's impossible to check every single article manually for copyvio. That's why we have bots? Ultimately if the CSD attracts the attention of an admin and a copyvio (and this was a single sentence) is determined, then it can be tagged with and deleted as such. Quite honestly I do copyvio checks when the article looks like OR or is a BLP; in this case I felt a G11 was appropriate enough. § FreeRangeFrog  00:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The bots can easily miss things and do it all the time (as it says on WP:NPP). In this case I searched for the content (which was easy as it was one line) and it came up at the top of the list on Google and I added db-multiple (with G11 & G12) to it. However one of the things we should be doing for each other on a collaborative project is save other's time. Checking for copyvios is reasonably quick and vital part of new page patrol, so it should be a check you do everytime. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion
Hi,

I recently declined your request for speedy deletion on Elisabeth Hille. The article claims that the subject is a professional poker player, thereby asserting notability. I encourage you to revisit Wikipedia's policy on speedy deletion to gain a stronger grasp of the procedures. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of any help! Best, Icestorm815  •  Talk  09:49, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks... sorry, that was on AfD and "professional whatever player" followed by "placed 15th in XXX" I figured I'd try for a speedy :) § FreeRangeFrog 19:55, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Really?

 * You seriously put a notability tag on Rings of Saturn? I don't really see how they aren't notable but ok. There are seven references on this page. I shouldn't need anymore but whatever. I won't argue because I've learned that gets me anywhere. Just letting you know, I find more references and I'm deleting your notice from the page. XyphynX9 (talk) 19:39, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for letting me know. You can place 1,000 references on a page and the subject might still not meet the notability guidelines, which is why I added the tag. Notice it reads may, rather than does not. I'm sure you think they're awesome, but that doesn't mean they actually meet WP:BAND or even WP:GNG. Of course, your references are the difference between simply tagging it as perhaps not being notable enough and simply taking the article to AfD. The reason we place tags on articles is that someone else who is familiar with the subject and has a more neutral POV can look at it and say "oh heck yeah, these boys are widely known". That's what defines a collaborative project, rather than people owning pages and making their own judgements as to whether or not something meets the guidelines for inclusion. And then getting all hurt over people placing a tag on an article. Cheers. § FreeRangeFrog 19:54, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

SPA Tag
Could you explain why the SPA tag you reverted was "invalid"? They think it&#39;s all over (talk) 01:29, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You seem to have misunderstood what an SPA is. Bummer. § FreeRangeFrog 02:22, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * that's certainly possible. I was going by the definition provided here: 'A single-purpose account (SPA) is a user account or IP editor whose editing is limited to one very narrow area or set of articles, or whose edits to many articles appear to be for a common purpose. ' It seems to me that Sepsis II is editing only the narrow set of article related to the Israeli-Arab conflict, with a purpose of advocacy for the Arab side. Did I get the definition wrong? They think it&#39;s all over (talk) 17:56, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Sepsis II's edit pattern fits the broad theme of the Arab-Israeli conflict. I do not consider that to be an SPA in the strict sense. And neither is yours, to be honest. But ultimately that's not my call. § FreeRangeFrog 19:23, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you elaborate on the distinction you are drawing between "broad theme of the Arab-Israeli conflict", and my 'narrow set of article related to the Israeli-Arab conflict', and explain how Sepsis II's editing fits one, but not the other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by They think it's all over (talk • contribs) 19:36, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The Arab-Israeli conflict is clearly a very narrow theme. If someone only edited articles about conflicts, that would be broad. The point is moot anyways per Bbb23's comments. Ryan Vesey 19:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * To "all over": WP:SPATG #1A - An established editor focusing on a single topic is not an SPA. Interpret that (likely the definition of "established") as you may. But as Ryan said, the point is moot anyway. § FreeRangeFrog 20:06, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The very next words in that line identify what an established user is: " Once an editor is well established with a large, diversified edit history..." When the SPA tag was placed, Sepsis had been editing for less than a month, had less than 200 edits to his name, and with the exception of 9 edits made as his first edits, focused exclusively on the Israeli -Palestinian conflict, and even within that narrow scope, edited only 8 articles. There is no stretching of the concept of "established editor" that would fit the above. As you write, it's a moot point, but you are incorrect : The SPA tag was fully valid, and of the two of us, it seems that you are the one who you misunderstood what an SPA is. They think it&#39;s all over (talk) 23:29, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fascinating, because if we apply the same criteria to you, I'll note that you have less than 150 edits since July of this year, and your editing pattern is essentially the same as Sepsis II. And something else I noticed, someone should run a sockpuppet investigation on you because you seem extremely knowledgeable about Wikipedia for someone who just got here. My guess is you're an established editor with a secondary account being used exclusively for edit warring in these types of articles. § FreeRangeFrog 23:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Block evasion
It was just Soccermeko evading his block again. Once I saw the comment (and recognized the tone and structure), I looked over the contribution list for the IP and compared the geolocation to the last known locations for Soccermeko. That's why http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3A99.115.168.7 looks the way it does. I reverted all of his edits, as I routinely do for block-evading sockpuppet accounts and IPs.&mdash;Kww(talk) 05:03, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jumping to conclusions
Hi. Thanks for helping out by closing. However, you might want to consider reopening the discussion, per WP:WITHDRAWN. If there had been no support for the initial nomination, then a keep close would probably have been appropriate (after the withdrawal, and a reasonable time for discussion). As it is, there remain a few delete and merge !votes, so I think it needs to be left to play out a little longer, rather than closing just 4 hours after the withdrawal. What do you think? -- Trevj (talk) 20:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that's one of those 'delete per nom' discussion (maybe jumping to conclusions); between the way the article is right now and Uncle G's arguments I very much doubt that would have gotten nuked. I mean if the nominator didn't think it was worth pursuing the AFD then... But, since only an admin can re-open an AFD, you can either ask over at WP:AN for a re-open, or re-nominate yourself. If you re-nominate, I'll add a comment to the effect that the closing admin takes into account the previous discussion, so it doesn't end up being in vain. Quite honestly though, I don't think you're gonna get that deleted. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:03, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * FreeRangeFrog, I really suggest you re-open it yourself. The close was not accurate per WP:WITHDRAWN. Ryan Vesey 23:58, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Ryan Vesey 00:02, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:04, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I've reverted my removal of the AFD tag on the article and my annotation on the article talk page. That should be all the paperwork necessary. I did not re-tag Jump to conclusions, because it's a redirect that points to this article. If this article is deleted, that one goes too as a redirect with no target. FreeRangeFrog, you might want to note why the AFD was re-opened at the debate itself. A link to this discussion might be sufficient ("Per discussion at my talk page..." or some such). Thanks! UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 00:07, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I added a link to my previous comment about the close. § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Saw that after I posted. Quick work, well done. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 00:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this, and sorry to mess you around. I should be clear that I don't realistically expect a delete outcome (which I why I withdrew). However, a merge does appear possible - at least for the moment. I should have perhaps made this clearer in my statement. Cheers. -- Trevj (talk) 06:32, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a problem, if it's better to keep it open to let the discussion run its course then so be it :) § FreeRangeFrog croak 08:36, 14 December 2012 (UTC)
 * So, same result in the end... still worth the extra discussion though IMO. Thanks. -- Trevj (talk) 17:56, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Willie Joe Padden

 * This should work? I mean any link that proves the person is alive should be enough to clear a BLP. Additional stuff should be easy to find later. § FreeRangeFrog croak 22:35, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Good, I've added that, and I already had this, so there isn't a reference problem. It needs tidying up, but I have left a message at WT:WikiProject Gaelic games who should be interested. Cheers, JohnCD (talk) 23:02, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello. You nominated List of Magnum pistol cartridges for deletion based on the rationale that it duplicates an existing category, and linked to WP:LISTPURP. I wanted to point out to you that the linked guideline actually states Redundancy of lists and categories is beneficial because the two categories work together. -- No unique  names  20:31, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually the point is that the nominated list serves no purpose other than to duplicate the category. I feel that the general idea of a useful list is to provide value above and beyond what I get when I browse the category, not just give me a list of links. I could have linked instead to WP:AOAL, which WP:LISTPURP ultimately refers to, and the list completely fails.

Sure, the Times of India source from October 11 did not have a set release date, and if that were all that was available, Crystal would have been a valid concern.

"Non-English content is never speedied unless it's a blatant hoax or an attack page"
re, while you are correct that the reason given was not a valid rationale, a non-english article is subject to all the same deletion criteria as one in english-- Jac 16888 Talk 23:18, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Right, but to delete we need to translate it first in order to establish notability or lack thereof. I added the article to WP:PNT, if it's not translated in a few weeks I'll PROD it. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:20, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Already blp-prodded it. A look at a google translation, a rough knowledge of the language or a word with one of our many multi-lingual editors is often sufficient to tell if something meets a speedy criteria, no point wasting time and effort translating a long article in Malay about some guy and his awesome new band that have been playing in his garage for nearly 8 years and have almost finished their first mix tape. Likewise if you belive an article would be deleted at afd/prod if it was english, then go ahead and afd or prod it-- Jac 16888 Talk 23:42, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Heh, fair enough. I ran the text through GT and it seemed it wasn't up for an A7 either, since it did make a minimal claim to notability. But digging a little deeper it seems there's not much there, although sometimes the problem is the language. § FreeRangeFrog croak 23:47, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I made the same assesment, but I don't expect it to survive blpprod. With the more common languages it's usually simple enough, it's when you start getting to the more obscure dialects and tongues that it gets more difficult, although there are ways around it for example by looking through Translators available for editors who are still around (it's horribly out of date), or Babel (which likewise has a lot of long retired editors. Another tip is to have a look at that language wikipedia, sometimes you will find, particularly on the smaller ones, that some of the editors there edit here as well regularly. I do want to thank you for your excellent work at PNT recently, especially with the rough translation ones, it has been getting out of hand and I just don't have as much time to devote to it anymore, it's nice to have somebody else joining in-- Jac 16888 Talk 23:54, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Palestinian casualties
I made one last comment at the Wikipedia: Village pump talk page. One last comment on the situation from you would also be appreciated but at this point I am not arguing with user 79.180... anymore because I have found out, when considering where he is from, that any discussion with him on Wikipedia's rules is pointless. EkoGraf (talk) 16:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I saw your message on his talk page. And considering his reaction I think he didn't get it in the end. It can be seen per his personal insults towards you, which were also in breach of several policies that can leave him blocked from editing further. I think there are simply some people you can not reason peacefully. Anyway, thank you for the discussion on the issue, I hope it has been resolved now.

KeyedIn Solutions
Hi FreeRangeFrog, I noticed you added a Notability flag on the KeyedIn Solutions article. InfoWorld and business journals both seem like decent sources and the company is international, although I admit that there's not a lot of press about it yet. Can you help me understand how to make this article better? Thanks, HtownCat (talk) 15:23, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Of the references you have there:


 * #1 Proves that 'Datacom' merely exists. Does not confer notability in any way, nor is notability inherited.
 * #3 Merely confirms the claim that the previous company was purchased, and has nothing to do with KeyedIn or its notability (or lack thereof).
 * #2, 4 and 5 can be considered local, routine business coverage at best.


 * It was (and is) my feeling that this company lacks basic notability, not to mention not really meeting WP:CORPDEPTH. Which is why I added the tag. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:39, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Ean_Schuessler redirect
Hello! Thanks for taking an interest in my role in the Debian Social Contract and advocating a redirect of my name to the DSC. I am featured in a few other Wikipedia articles and this will at least ensure that those name links go somewhere rather than nowhere at all. I must admit, with some embarrassment, that I did add a reference to my business to the previously existing article. I had seen similar things done by others in the industry (ie. Joel_Spolsky). The content on my website profile was actually a copy of the Wikipedia article and not the other way around.

I am excited that you have an interest in the Debian Social Contract article. I think quite a few people would be interested in an expanded version of that article. Unfortunately, critical pieces of the DSC history are locked up in the "private" Debian and SPI mailing lists. There is a movement in Debian/SPI to "declassify" that content so if I can be any assistance from a research perspective please let me know. I have been hesitant to make any modifications to the article myself because of my proximity to the event. Since my name now redirects to the DSC article I would be very appreciative if someone could add a reference to me there. Thanks again for your interest! -- Ean Schuessler (talk) 18:27, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Ean, getting back to that article is one of my priorities at the moment. Thank you for the offer, but I should have enough information from public sources that should cover the basic history of the DSC and your involvement in it. If not then I'll give you a holler. Cheers! § FreeRangeFrog croak 20:35, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello FRF. I see the edits and that is a nice improvement. One minor complaint is that you have misspelled my last name as "Schussler" rather than "Schuessler". I think a good first step towards expanding this article would be for me to check into the status of the original sources of the discussion and see if Debian can make them public. Thanks for your effort! Ean Schuessler (talk) 07:28, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
