I'll go ask the admin who deleted the page to give you a further explanation on what happened. To make it short, the article in question was in violation of WP:CSD. This policy allows an admin to delete the page on the spot. What was the article about?-- E d  ¿Cómo estás? 00:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The deleting admin, Eagle 101, restored the page on User:Eagle 101/G Bar. Basically, the article does not assert notability. Notability means that the topic of an article must have been the subject of published works (see Notability for more information). That is why this article was deleted, along with the criterion of WP:CSD.-- E d  ¿Cómo estás? 02:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll have to scrutinize those pages a little further. All of those articles don't assert notability with verifiable sources (please read WP:V for more info), so they might be able to be deleted.-- E d  ¿Cómo estás? 02:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * All articles on Wikipedia are required to comply with all policies and all guidelines. Any article in violation of a policy or a guideline can be deleted.-- E d  ¿Cómo estás? 02:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

BAFTA
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts wiki-article and official website show "BAFTA". The BBC writer was probably being lazy. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 13:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism
Earlier you reported an IP vandal in this edit. In future, please create a new entry, rather than simply replacing the text of previous entries, as you are preventing some vandals from being reviewed by administrators. Thanks, JCO312 20:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Thomas Wales
How can I do this article without it beening deleted?

--TheGeniusTom 18:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Little Jimmy Urine
Hi! That's a good question. In my opinion, yes, Jimmy Urine is not notable according to Wikipedia standards. Not only is he not notable according to WP:BIO, but he also violates WP:MUSIC and many other policies. Both guidelines have similar criteria, so I'll just show you how Little Jimmy Urine violates many of Wikipedia policies.

After a brief google search on "Little Jimmy Urine", you can see that the web pages already violate WP:RS, since some of those pages are interviews and reviews, sources that are biased in favor of Little Jimmy Urine, thus violating WP:NPOV. Also, a quote from WP:MUSIC states: Clearly, the Little Jimmy Urine article cannot be supported by such web sites, since the interviews involve Jimmy Urine talking about himself, giving us biased information for the article in question.
 * "This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries except for the following: Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble."

The guideline on notability requires that: I did a broader google search on "Jimmy Urine". Do you see how only 3 web pages on "Jimmy Urine" appear? Afterwards, a search on "Mindless Self Indulgence" continues. This tells me that Jimmy Urine is only notable because of his role in Mindless Self Indulgence. If he has any notability outside of MSI, then that might warrant an article. In addition, I did a search on my school's Proquest Platinum database, and there was only 1 periodical that mentioned Jimmy Urine's name, and in passing. That's the trouble with this Wikipedia article. Sources on this guy only mention him in passing. The main subject is MSI.
 * "The person has been a primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person."

Look at this version (current during the time I post this message), and you will see that the article is not backed up by sources. It could potentially be filled with WP:OR. The article does not WP:CITE any reliabe sources (RS) (or any sources for that matter).

What other policies have I forgotten??? Oh, yeah! WP:LIVING and WP:V

I'd hate to hit you with all of these policy-related information. I don't know how well accustomed you are into Wikipedia, since you are still a newbie editor (in a way, no offense!). An AfD nomination must be very strong in order to succeed. I wish you good luck on the AfD nomination you submit, and please send me a link to that discussion so I can give more input if needed. If you need any more advice, you can always stop by my talk page! Cheers!-- Ed  ¿Cómo estás? 01:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * (gasp!) I also found another policy you can use to get that article deleted: WP:N. As you can see, Wikipedia has many policies to keep track of. If only we can merge all of the policies into one page..-- Ed  ¿Cómo estás? 01:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Liverpool twin towns
Thanks for your replies here and here. The source you provide is certainly appropriate (and should be reliable). But one thing: what you should never, ever, ever do in a million years is just copy and paste material from the source. You should at least paraphrase it! Obviously, you can't change the lists, but for sentences such as "These links have no formal constitution [...]" you should say something else.

I'll fix it (and add the in-line citation) when I have time. --RFBailey 22:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, istappears the English language tags you put on this article have been deleted - just thought I'd let you know. Also, a previous version of this page was deleted a couple of days ago per CSD G11 (spam). My French isn't particularly good these days, but the content looks like spam again. Worth recommending for speedy deletion? Cheers Saganaki- 11:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Morleyfund.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Morleyfund.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:21, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

reviewer status
Hi, you appear experienced plenty to be given reviewer status, save me a job and request the simple right. Off2riorob (talk) 22:48, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:56, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Kneale, I declined your speedy deletion request for JHM Network because TV/cable channels are not eligible for speedy deletion under A7, which is only for web content, companies, people, bands and individual animals.

Hello ! and thank you for having me on Wikipedia. I 'll throw a glance at these links, it will make me a great service I 'm on ! I would like to know just one thing, how intergrate an image, precisely that of Jacob O'Reiley ? Thank you again, Coromond (talk) 17:23, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm confused
How can you Administrators just start tearing things apart at will, without the consent or the recognition of formal protest from the user. My Colonel is very curious as to why and how you can rip articles to pieces, but you are unable to rip users accounts to pieces. This site is too complicated for use by me or any of the other officers under my command, or even the Colonel for that matter. I'm the only officer who has created an account, I've ordered the others not to create accounts. Now if you have the power to tear down articles, could you please tear down my account?Gibberishflyboy (talk) 15:15, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Pending changes/Straw poll on interim usage
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Dawn Porter
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Dawn Porter a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Additionally, please note that Porter has not legally changed her name to O'Porter. – anemone projectors – 09:07, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

How does one change a name 'legally' in the UK? There is no such thing. If you want to be known by another name then you just choose to be known by it. She is now referred to Dawn O'Porter in every news article she is named in, on her offical website http://www.dawnoporter.co.uk/ and on her twitter https://twitter.com/hotpatooties ! Now I remember why I stopped editing on here. Kneale (talk) 22:06, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 09:23, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
