Why was my article deleted?
I'd love to know why the article I was working on, ClanHalo, was deleted. Sorry, I'm a bit new to this so I apologize if I have missed something that's obvious; I've done what I can to make sure I'm following all the rules. Ajsfiremouse 01:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:NOTE and WP:WEB for inclusion criteria. The article was about a game clan that didn't assert any level of importance or notability. IrishGuy talk 01:09, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The article was about a league, a fairly popular one at that, and I disagree with your conclusion. I don't mean to be rude in any way but I think you've misunderstood the point of this article. If ClanHalo can't be included in Wikipedia, why is there an entry for The Halo League? Ajsfiremouse 01:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, actually, there shouldn't be an article for The Halo League. That article doesn't illustrate any level of importance either. IrishGuy talk 01:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Could you please give me pointers on how I could make my Christian Webmasters Association article in line with Wikipedia policies? Thank you. Tgpuckett 01:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Magician Question
Hi, thanks for helping me with editing the entry. On a unrelated note, I see that you have authored several entries on magicians. I recently saw a magician who called himself Tony Picasso perform and was blown away by the things he did with cards and coins. Do you know where I can find more information on him or the tricks he does? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarlinStorm (talk • contribs)

Clooneynet
Hi! Can you tell me why my external link from George Clooney's page to ClooneyNetwork.com keeps getting removed? This is a fansite, just like other fansites that are listed. It isn't spam. I had links from each of his movie pages to the page on my site dedicated to the film and those were removed as well. Can you help me understand the problem? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clooneynet (talk • contribs)


 * Adding links to your own website is a conflict of interest and goes against the guidelines for external links. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 01:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

If someone else adds them than that is okay? There are other fansites listed under Clooney that are no different from mine that have been removed. Can you tell me why mine were removed while links to clooneystudio.com (fansite) have not been removed? Maybe I've misunderstood te purpose of Wikipedia. I viewed it as the ultimate index of useful information. So, the links up on the site aren't added by site owners? IMDB? Moviefone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clooneynet (talk • contribs)


 * Actually, the other fansites have been removed, too. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a linkfarm. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 01:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Why then haven't you removed sites like IMDB and Moviefone? Why is the target fansites? I am still confused by this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clooneynet (talk • contribs)


 * The larger sites are more reliable and verifiable. Both of those examples are also notable enough to have their own articles, too: IMDB Moviefone. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 01:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I have several exclusive articles and interviews on my site, given by cast members of Clooney's films. I also run contests with prizes provided by Warner Brothers. I feel like my site offers a valid service. The other fansite you removed, clooneystudio, also has some of her own exclusive material up. Both of our sites provide a service to fans. My site averages 2 million hits a week. I think ClooneyStudio must easily get a million hits a month. There is a lot of demand for fansites. If they can be recognized as valuable resources by the studios, then why not by you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clooneynet (talk • contribs)


 * If you are getting steady traffic, then obviously the fans are finding your site. You don't need to use Wikipedia to advertise your site. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 01:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to have a constructive dialog with you. I am trying to understand your reasoning for removing fansites. I don't think I need wikipedia. That isn't what this is about. It's about what is and isn't fair. Your removal of fansites seems unfair to me. If I have articles and interviews which are exclusive, do those merit being listed? If not, then why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clooneynet (talk • contribs)


 * If there is valuable interview material, it can be incorporated into the article with a valid source. There are hundreds...thousands...of fan sites for major celebrities. Do you really feel we should link to them all simply because the owners want us to? How is that encyclopedic? <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 01:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Help for Entry
Hi, I'm inquiring about why you deleted the page California Muscle. You stated the reason G11, but the entry does have some cultural relevance as it contributed to the scandal involved with Joe Millionaire. Also, I have found many other companies with Wikipedia entries like International Male and 2xist. What changes would you suggest be made to prevent this from being deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarlinStorm (talk • contribs)


 * The article was written as a blatant advertisement. If the article were rewritten without all the ad speak, it would be a different situation. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 17:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Is there anyway you can point out to me an example of adspeak from that entry so that I know more specifically what you are referring to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarlinStorm (talk • contribs)


 * Actually, pretty much the entire thing was an advertisement except for the last line. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'm a little confused. I can see how some of the entry can be seen as an advertisement; but, for example, the first three sentences are more of a history of the company, no? Thanks for your patience in helping me with this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarlinStorm (talk • contribs)


 * If you believe the subject merits inclusion based on the Joe Millionaire connection, that should probably be mentioned much earlier in the article. The history of the company should be rewritten in a manner that doesn't seem like it is pushing the company. Do you understand what I mean by "pushing"? It kind of reads like a promotional flyer. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That makes sense. I think I know what you mean by "pushing", but I'm still a little confused. When I look at the entries of International Male, 2xist or even Victoria's Secret, they seem to be more like advertising copy than the entry that for California Muscle. Are they bad examples to model an entry on? Thanks for your help with all of this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MarlinStorm (talk • contribs)


 * I realize that is might not be your intent to promote the subject, but it does read that way. I'm just saying that some of the descriptions could be toned down a bit. Are you affiliated with the subject? <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:22, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not affiliated with them. I'm a long time customer and fan of their clothing. I quite liked the previous Wikipedia entry that someone else had put in because it had a list of all the various contraptions that they use which I found useful. When I saw that the entry had been deleted, I thought I would try to put the page back up from the cached page at Yahoo. I've just edited and re-submitted the page. Can you take a look at it and see if it is ok now?

Thanks for the adjustment on the entry. Do you think it would be considered promotional if I added a list of the various types of contraptions in their clothing?


 * It might. It would really depend on how it was worded. Also, try not to add too many external links within the article. That always makes it look like it is a spam article. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 19:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I just added the list that I found from the cached Yahoo page. Do you think it will be ok?

I've edited my last post because I remembered that it was the admin of the Jonas.com site who sat here and added all of Jonas' theatre work. You're happy for information to be brought here from the fansites but you feel far too superior to link back to them. Your contempt for fansites is all too obvious. But I think you should consult with your fellow mods because I had an email from Andrew Gray earlier and he said that official fansites are allowed and that unofficial fansites are considered on a case to case basis. I'll be asking my visitors not to bring Wikipedia any information from my sites in the future and I'll be warning other admins that they're not considered good enough to be linked on Wikipedia! —Preceding unsigned comment added by LuckyAllen (talk • contribs)
 * Official sites are fine. As I noted in my email to you, your site doesn't meet the criteria for WP:EL. Your constant pushing for inclusion is a violation of WP:COI. Please stop harassing me about this. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 00:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

A question of fair
Well you still have not acknowledged that another user added my links to Wiki in the first place and that it was not a case of me spamming. Unofficial fansites have been added to every actors page on Wikipedia forever. Two other Wiki moderators have been on the Jonas page making edits in the past 4 months and both of them have left my fansites on the page even though one of them removed another Jonas site and gave the reason as it being a site needing registration. They are obviously not aware of the rules you have suddenly imposed. I cannot tell you how disappointed in Wikipedia I am after this. And I'm sure there will be many web users surprised to find that unofficial fansites are not to be linked on Wiki. Jonas does not have an official site so 90% of the info added to this page comes from the fansites. And yet you wont even put a link back to us. That's a disgrace! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.30.125.20 (talk) 21:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC).


 * I find it less than surprising that you think it disgraceful that your websites were removed. While unofficial sites have been added to Wikipedia every day...they are also removed every day. Linkspam is quite prevalent and sometimes it takes longer for the sites to be found and removed. Just today I stumbled onto the large scale spamming by Alec9111. I removed the links. It doesn't matter that those links were there for a while before I found them. What matters is that they don't belong there at all. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 22:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

What's the point, I think it's clear that your problem is only with our fansites. I'll be taking this further now. There are hundreds of fansites added on Wiki and you are very selective about which sites you remove. The repuation of this site has really gone down in my estimation today. And you have still not acknowledged that it was a member called Dawd who added my sites as is shown in the history and that I am not a spammer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LuckyAllen (talk • contribs) 20:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC).


 * Wikipedia is not an avenue to advertise your website. Fansites generally aren't encyclopedic and the ones I remove are removed for that reason. I am not "selective" in what I remove and I don't appreciate the accusation that I am being unfair to you. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 21:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Removal of my site links
Because when I checked my stats I could see that I wasn't getting any traffic from here so came to take a look. I promise you faithfully that I did not put my own sites on here and if I'd known that they shouldn't be on here, I would have removed them myself. Can't you tell from the edit history who added them originally? At least that would exonerate me from the accusations your levelling at me now. I'm just gobsmacked at all of this now to be honest but I shan't bother you again although I do think you need to do some checking on Wikipedia as my sites are not the only fansites on here. Thanks for your time. I have just gone back and checked and if you look at 9th November 2006 which was when when one of my sites was added you'll see that it was not me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LuckyAllen (talk • contribs) 18:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

Removal of my site links
I didn't add my sites orginally, I had no idea they were even on Wikipedia for about a month. I re-added them today because they had disappeared, I had no idea that this was considered spamming. But can you tell me why this is suddenly happening after 4 months? And does this mean that no fansites are allowed on Wikipedia? So if I go searching through Wikipedia for actors/actresses I will find no other fansites on here?

I'm not trying to be rude but I'm finding this all most odd. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LuckyAllen (talk • contribs) 18:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC).


 * Why would fansites need to be in an encyclopedia? This isn't a linkfarm. If you had nothing to do with your links being in that article, how did you immediately notice they had disappeared? <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, I am a music promoter and record label owner in London and have had two articles removed by yourself and am unsure why. As I am active in the London music scene and have not put up any "joke" articles or vandalised any sites I am unsure why you have removed these. Especially as one of the articles had been online merely seconds after i posted it, which means it was unread? I commend your speed but perhaps in your haste you have mistaken me for something i am not?

I have read the a7 guidelines and am still unsure as to why the articles were removed?

Question
My name is James McCaffrey. First let me say I don't know much about wikipedia rules but want to do the right thing. Anyway, some time ago several colleagues put together wikipedia articles based on some of my original research ( combinadic and factoradic) and asked me to create a target about myself for those articles and several other wikipedia references (in particular my listing as a person of some significance in the software test automation community based on my book and journal articles). So I did. Are we not allowed to have articles about people? Or does an article about people have to be created by a certain special category of wikipedia writer? Anyway, just not sure why my paragraph got deleted when my colleague's paragrpahs are still there. + hello irish guy ive heard a few people were trying to make a wikipedia based on my production career but they kept getting deleted.Can you tell me why or how about i can go about getting a wikipedia page made right.
 * Writing articles about yourself is a conflict of interest. Beyond that, the article was deleted because it didn't assert any level of importance and notability. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 23:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow. Thanks for the quick reply. So, at the expense of sounding dumb, should I ask one of my peers to craft an article which includes references to my contributions to the field? Or is there a mechanism to have a paragrpah reviewed before posting?


 * Honestly, asking someone to write about you on your behalf would still fall afoul of the conflict of interest guidelines. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 23:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I meant the mathemticians who asked me to write a paragraph in the first place (if you review the factoradic and combinadic articles histories you'll see their names); in other words, in the very beginnng I should have just asked them to do it themselves. Is there a way I can have them contact you to review any paragrpah first to avoid posting a paragrpah which violates wikipedia rules?


 * You sound like a thoughtful guy and I'd like to take this disscussion about the general natue of wikipedia offline. I can be reached by e-mail at v-jammc@microsoft.com or jamesDmccaffrey@hotmail.com. For example, a local high school actually has forbidden their students to use wikipedia in any way whatsoever because "anyone can put anything there". Crazy, but I didn't have a good response.


 * There are many who misunderstand how Wikipedia works. While anyone can edit and that does lead to vandalism, there are many who spend hours patrolling to reverse this vandalism. Wikipedia isn't as filled with inaccuracies as some would claims. :)


 * As for the article, you could try making a request here: Requested articles. As long as you can provide some sources for notability, it shouldn't be much of a problem. You can learn more about the process at that link. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 19:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Please Explain
Would you please kindly explain why the article on theDreamHunter was summarilly deleted, even though the editor specifically requested a pause of time on the talk page before returning to the discussion, promising to rebut the assertions of copyright violation. It is the editor himself, in fact, who holds the copyright for all the material in question (here and on other websites). Further, having read "WP:NOTE", I --a new user-- do now understand the criteria and objections involved, but this could have been addressed and ameliorated. Now it cannot, because the article has been deleted on spurious copyright violation claims. I am happy to discuss this futher, should you require, in good faith. 74.96.59.177 21:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)theDreamHunter


 * It was deleted because beyond the copyright violation, it made no assertion of notability (for which it could have been an A7 deletion instead of a copyvio) and the band fails WP:BAND.

That should keep him away for a week, but based on last night he'll be back as soon as the protection wears off.

Threats
Are you some sort of head honcho round here? And in any event, how does correcting grammar and removing the word "fucking" from the comments of some ill-informed poster constitute "vandalism"? Bill Tegner 19:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * As noted on the guidelines at WP:TALK, what you are doing is wrong. Don't alter the comments of others. I gave you two warnings, and yet you ignored them and did it again.

OK. I'll leave the obscenities and bad grammar and spelling errors of others alone. They hardly add gravitas to Wikipedia, but if that's what you want, I seem to have no choice. Presumably, however, I am still allowed to give my own comments? And you haven't answered my question: quite what is your locus? Bill Tegner 22:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * He's doing what all good editors do: contributing to the common enterprise. In this case, he's reminding us all of the common rules that we follow together, such as not editing other people's talk-page words and thus falsifying the historical record; and refraining from personal attacks and incivility. The system of phased warnings is part of that set of common rules. Some people will get vandalism warnings from three or four other editors, before yet another editor/administrator blocks them. -- Orange Mike 22:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Obviously you can comment. Nobody said otherwise. As Orangemike illustrated above, any editor can warn another for policy violations.

Blade_Runner
While I agree with the removal of the documentary link; I'm unsure how policy requires all fansites to be removed. The fansites that were on the article are notable, used as references in the article and were in the article at the time it was featured. Admittedly FA standards have become more stringent; but removing the links simply makes the article less comprehensive. - RoyBoy 800 22:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * WP:EL states under links normally to be avoided: Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority. All those fan sites were making the article a link farm. If there are enough fan sites that a whole subsection was created...that is way too many fan sites. WP:NOT further states: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate, marking the link as such. None of them seemed (to me, at least) to be the major fansite, so I removed them all. That was my reasoning. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 22:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * That does clarify your position. The rationale behind the links which have survived (use to be much more bloated) is essentially in the comments next to them. Each has its own niche and Bladezone (major fansite) / BRmovie (major online community) are collaborative projects, so I wouldn't deem them to be personal web pages. 2019: Off World is personal but has significant historic importance in the BR online community. BR-Analysis is the weakest link, since it has become bloggish in its design; but it provides a repository of analysis on the film which, I think and hope, is still notable (and possibly authoritative) to new and old fans alike. I appreciate the input, as looking at the section another time I just tossed out 2 review links that are redundant, and I promise BR won't become bloated. - RoyBoy 800 00:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem. As long as responsible editors stay on top of things articles need not turn into link farms. Keep up the good work :) <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 00:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Meat puppet
Any two users can discuss things on Wikipedia; that isn't meat puppetry. Any two users can revert; that isn't meat puppetry. Any two users can support each others edits, even by reversion; that isn't meat puppetry. Meat puppetry is when one user has an account for the sole purpose of supporting the position of others. The only reason you could call it meat puppetry is that we share a computer, and this is necessary. Are you an admin?  Martinphi  (Talk ? Contribs) 20:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

domain kiting
Some things you need to know:

1) On my talk page I can remove anything I want. It's there for communication purposes, once a message is in, communication has been made, I can remove it.

2) The admin who reverted my change to a redirect made several false claims which you apparently took at face value when you reverted the article back. He said that I moved the page without discussion, which I did not. I am the only one even trying to discuss the issue at this point, and I did not move the page, as the page I forwarded it to ALREADY EXISTED. He also claimed I copy and pasted the text of the article, which I did not do, the other article has existed for a while abd the one I turned into a redirect is a Fork file and should not exist by policy.

3) Everyone on the talk page and the article itself admits that the most common term in the industry is domain tasting under Naming conventions that means the article HAS to be at that name. The admin saying it should be at domain kiting even admits on talk that tasting is more common in the industry but that he prefers the other name. Well, whoopdedoo, he doesn't get to come up with what things get called just because he likes some Neologism.

Because your revert appears to have been made in ignorance of the situation and policy, I am requesting that you undo both changes imediately. DreamGuy 21:07, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, I see a subsection where you post three times and nobody has yet replied. Consensus with yourself isn't consensus. I also see a previous Requested move which came up with "no move". As for your talk page, general consensus is that talk pages should be archived, not deleted....especially when they are warnings you are deleting. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 21:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * ACTUALLY, talk pages have been established that they can be deleted at will, the history page aleady archives it. False warnings from people using them abusively and deceptively certainly should be removed, and this standard has been upheld over and over again. Furthermore if you look at the talk page of the article, the people voting no move (especially the admin who made the threat) leave comments that clearly indicate that they know the proper name is domain tasting, so if they admit that then there rationale for leaving it violates policy. Also, there are plenty of posters on that page saying straight out that it should be moved, they just did not do so as part of an old, short straw poll. All the discussion on the page shows clear concensus except from a couple of aggressive people who ignored that consensus and Wikipedia policy to try to change the name to what they like better.


 * But if you insist on sticking with your ill-informed snap judgment here, I guess that doesn;t surprise me, as admins here tend to work on the do whatever the hell they want rule instead of following actual policies and common sense. DreamGuy 21:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I do know of one policy that you might want to read more about: WP:CIV. Beyond that, you don't have a consensus.

Recentely Deleted Band Page
Hi Irish Guy -

Wanted to follow up with you regarding a band page you recently deleted for The Teenage Prayers. According to the guidlines for bands on Wikipedia, having multiple national articles (not just show listing) constitutes a valid claim. This band has received reviews in Trouser Press, Stylus Magazine, Pop Matters, The Deli and a number of other credible independent music sources. That, in addition to being produced by both Solomon Burke and Steve Wynn seemed to me to reasonably satisfy the criteria. Is this not the case? Thanks.

Jennifer —Preceding unsigned comment added by Netjen (talk • contribs)


 * The article asserted no level of notability. While you claim that the band has been profiled by numerous media outlets, the article made no mention of this. Being produced by a notable person isn't a criteria of WP:BAND. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 20:32, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

To answer your question
"Some of your edits are...well, interesting. Why did you put a vandalism warning on an article talk page? Why place citation needed tags in bizarre places as you did here? IrishGuy talk 20:27, 18 March 2007 (UTC) "


 * The first one appears to be an error. I didn't know I did that. I hope you fixed it when you found it.
 * The second situation is that they were jokes, like the tag in my sig. (You probably didn't notice that it was a humor page)

I'm sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes. I didn't mean to play in KP Botany's sand box. Had I known that my whole wiki experience would be shredded by nominating an article, I wouldn't have done it. As it stands, I'm prolly leaving Wiki anyway. KP is going to track every little edit I make now, and rant everywhere he can, and for what? Because I nominated an article? I already have a real stalker in the real world to deal with, I don't need two, so I'm leaving wiki I think. Anyway, sorry about the rant, I just felt you deserved an answer to your two questions.

Sue Rangell &#91; citation needed &#93; 20:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)


 * While the second edit might be to a humorous article, it still isn't the place for messing around like that. It was reverted almost immediately by another editor. Whatever problems you have with KP, I am unaware of them. Your userpage is what started all of this. You must admit, it is highly unlikely that two people would have identical interests and therefore their userpages would be identical...even down to both being lefthanded. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 20:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I had just made the article 2 minutes ago, and it is as important as any other type of product for an ipod. I searched iHome on the computer expecting for Wikipedia to have some useful information about it, which it did not. I'm not sure if I'm using the right terminalogy but the article was a stub. I was hoping more people would edit the article, as I would have.

Does it violate any rules of Wikipedia? Not to sound rude, but if not I plan on recreating it, and adding more info. You deleted it right as I was looking up more information.

Capitalization
Question: Just how much of a majority does one have to have before you declare a consensus? Surely you do not mean to say that everyone has to agree. Is a consensus attained only when an administrator says that is the case? It is certainly beginning to look that way.

Militant Islam
Hello, I had a question. I saw the discussion on AfD for the article Militant Islam. You said the result was Delete per OR. A quick (and possibly inaccurate count) showed 10 voting Keep and 15 voting Delete. Could you explain the basis for your decision? Thanks, NN 03:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Irishman. I am not creating advertisments about our company, I am creating a definition of our company and what it is we do.

I Am A Monkey
I beg to differ old boy. The very definiton for Encyclopaedia from Wikipedia states that:

"An encylopedia, encyclopaedia or (traditionally) encyclopædia,[1] is a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge."

Thus, the I Am A Monkey song has every right to be included in the immense depths of Wikipedia. The song exists and although little known, is popular within it's own circle. It has every right to be there, if not more rights than such articles as David Acer, written by your fine self. With your own articles up for deletion I do not think that you are in any position to remove mine from the server. I see no difference between an article concerning a song and an article concerning an almost entirely unknown master of deception masquerading as a magician such as Jamy Ian Swiss. These people are of little interest to anyone, whereas the monkey song is both a cultural reference to locals of crowthorne (included, presumably in "all branches of knowledge"), and a reference to animal related media unbound by burdensome copyright laws. Please restore this article to its former position and condition post haste. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Evans1551 (talk • contribs) 19:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC).

I Am A Monkey
In response to Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, I would like to point out that I fulfill none of the criterion given. The article is not a list of FAQs The article is not a travel guide The article is not a memorial The article is not an instruction manual The article is not an internet guide The article is not an annotated text or textbook, as it does not teach - it informs The article is not a plot summary The articls is not a lyrics database anymore than Kipling's "If" is a lyrics database. The song is not protected by copyright, and complies with the quotation: "[The article] has to primarily contain information about authorship, date of publication, social impact, etc"

The article contains information concerning the authors, the date of publication and informs the reader of the target audience and longstanding support. Thus the article is worthy of a place in Wikipedia's entries, and is in line with Wikipedia's aims to inform. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Evans1551 (talk • contribs) 19:16, 27 March 2007 (UTC).

I Am A Monkey
I promise you I am not doing this for a reaction. I am above such games, just as I am above such vocabulary as 'trolling'.

I challenge you to present but one justifiable reason why my article is unsuitable for Wikipedia, and I shall accept its removal at once. Whilst the song itself is clearly nonsensical as you stated in your deletion notes, the article is not. The song is just as real and sensible as perhaps Humpty Dumpty and is by no means any more obscure. The banana-eating monkey is more feasible than the anthropomorphosised egg who perches on the wall and is later (unsuccessfully) repaired by soldiers, and to dismiss Humpty Dumpty as nonsense would not be permitted by other administrators due to the fame of the song. You must accept, therefore, that if Humpty is allowed to remain in Wikipedia, so too should the the monkey be allowed to, regardless of the relative fame of the song. Do you conceed?

 * The link given above explains the notability requirements. RJASE1 Talk  02:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles. If you really want i can add some links of those, but this is just something i'm doing for my friend who is trying to break through in America, you dont need to be so inflexible.


 * It's probably not a good idea to write an article about your friend - see this guideline. Also, Wikipedia shouldn't be used for advertising or promotion. RJASE1 Talk  02:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Just because i am friends with the guy doesnt mean i'm bias. I am completly capable of being indifferent, its simply i wanted to provide information on a source i believed would let me because i like writing.


 * That's fine, but the core requirement is that the band be notable enough for an encyclopedia article in accordance with the band notability guidelines, and the notability has to be backed up by citing multiple, reliable, third-party sources. If you can clear that bar, then the band is worthy of an article. Good luck - RJASE1 Talk  02:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm unsure why this has become Brian Boru's concern...I've explained the justification for the revert...the anon needs to simply add in the edit summary the reason for removing information from an article. The content wasn't obvious and there is not limitless time to research an anon's or editor's track record. Summarily removing information without an edit summary simply isn't recommended.

 * LOL. I wouldn't say you are doing anything wrong. Some vandals make things personal, others don't. Congrats again. <b style="color:green;">IrishGuy</b> <sup style="color:blue;">talk 18:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Can you look at this?
Can you look at Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents? It hasn't received any comments and it has been hours since I first reposted it (I originally posted this on March 30th, but it was archived before it could be resolved, so I had to repost it. Then it was archived again after less than 24 hours). Squirepants101 22:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
