Deleted Retriever Communications Page
Hi Ged UK,

You deleted my company's Wikipedia page because

03:06, 13 June 2015 AnomieBOT III (talk | contribs) deleted page Retriever communications (G8: Broken redirect to Retriever Communications. If this bot is malfunctioning, please report it at User:AnomieBOT III/shutoff/BrokenRedirectDeleter)

12:07, 12 June 2015 Ged UK (talk | contribs) deleted page Retriever Communications (A7: No indication that the article may meet the guidelines for inclusion (CSDH))

Could you please give me comments as to why this occurred? It has been the same Wikipedia page since 2007 and I recently tried to update a few events before it was deleted totally....if you could please re-instate the page I will make edits as you see fit?

Thankyou — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dannicala (talk • contribs) 05:13, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there. There was nothing in the page that made a credible assertion of importance, per the requirements of WP:CSD criteria A7. I'm happy to restore the page to your userspace so you can work on it there. When it's ready you can move it back to the mainspace. Ged  UK  11:15, 26 June 2015 (UTC)


 * That would be great, Thanks for your help. Did you have any suggestions regarding edits of the page - I read criteria A7 but I would say we did have credible sources for majority of our claims. Open to suggestions.


 * Done, it's at User:Dannicala/Retriever Communications. Source 1 was internal, source 2 was just a passing mention. It just needs a bit more sourcing really, I don't think it's a million miles away. Ged  UK  11:33, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Block evasion
Hello. , who you blocked recently, is per WP:DUCK back as, edit-warring on TRPoD's talk page. Thomas.W talk 11:17, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ Ged  UK  11:27, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * And now back as, doing the same thing. also seems to be the same editor. Thomas.W talk 17:02, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * These have been actioned now I see. Sorry I wasn't around at the time. Ged  UK  11:53, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I made a further check on them and found that the disruptive editor was using all IPs from 169.57.0.210 to *.219 (which are all covered by 169.57.0.210/28, with no "collateral damage"), hopping from one to the other, so Bishonen made a rangeblock. Thomas.W talk 11:58, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Cool. I have no idea how to do rangeblocks, so I'd have been unable to help on that one! Ged  UK  12:14, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

"Sourced edits with little unsourced POV"
Really? "Churches accept these unions in an sociological aspect, rather than theological one, and have adopted a harm reduction model approach."? Describing homosexuality in WP's voice as "unnatural"? Surely if there's anything to save here, the user can propose it on the talkpage, rather than using it as a stalking-horse for a bunch of commentary. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 12:57, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Trouble again on the Acharya S article with The Name
Hi Ged, You recently removed a whitelock on the Acharya S article. The reason for the lock was the subject of the article says "Dorothy" is not her real name and wants it removed (see recently archived discussions on her talk page and current discussion). The Name was recently added again to the article, I thought (from reading and participating in all the discussions) that Wikipedia policy was to respect the author's request and that The Name was not necessary to the article. This article is dominated by people who dislike Acharya S. The "consensus" on the article is essentially mob rule. Thanks! (I'm on vacation and may not be able to respond immediately so please give me a "talkback".) Raquel Baranow (talk) 19:08, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I didn't remove the whitelock, I lowered the full protection to pending changes, meaning changes needed to be approved. There does appear to be a consensus. I'm not intending to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the discussion. If you feel that the consensus is wrong, or out of date, then start a new discussion on the article's talk page. Admins don't have additional authority in deciding these things, especially outside of the article talk or the relevant noticeboard. Ged  UK  12:36, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
