Voice of the Turtle
Hey, thanks for your help removing the speedy delete. Really appreciate it. The link to the criteria for music groups is helpful too. They have eight albums. There's more third-party press coverage I can include. Will work on it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asbruckman (talk • contribs) 11:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I have added a bit more to Voice of the Turtle, and put a note on the talk page about how I think it arguably meets three of the notability criteria now. What do you think?  Would it be possible to untag it?  Thanks so much for your help!  Asbruckman (talk) 02:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

The Human Factor
Hello, you declined the speedy deletion of The Human Factor (2009 film). Can you please identify what the key differences were before the original article and this recreated article? From what I can tell, the AFD led to deletion of the article because it did not satisfy the notability guidelines for films. This was because it had not begun filming, and this article does not show that it has. A quick look off-wiki shows that it is still not in production. Can you please let me know if there was a difference that I missed? — Erik (talk • contrib) - 13:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I was always of the impression that was used for non-english articles in general.
Granted, the wording of the SD tag doesn't seem to be 'correct' (I have noted that), but in general, most foreign-language articles seem to get speedied. Half Shadow  06:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's fine. I'm only following procedure as I see it; I'll tag them with from here on, though the article creator really should know better.  Half  Shadow  06:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

The thorny question of Arrica Rose
Hello! I was a bit surprised that you declined my Speedy Delete tag on Arrica Rose by stating "speedy declined, not a valid A7, notability asserted through "charting on iTunes" and being featured in publications and TV shows." I should point out that I always double check whenever I am in doubt on a subject, and a Google search on Ms. Rose failed to pull up anything that could back up the article's fairly grand assertions. In any event, the article was put up for AfD. Hope all is well. Ecoleetage (talk) 14:13, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi again. I guess we have to agree to disagree on that one. As I read the article -- with its redlinked "2nd release" (no mention of a first release), insistence of iTunes chart topping (with no record label backing her up?), claims of media coverage (sans the actual links to the coverage) and assertion of having a song sampled on a U.S. TV show (which seems highly unlikely for a label-less performer) -- I felt there was no reasonable indication of why Ms. Rose might be notable. Ironically, the article's author blanked the page after the A7 tag was placed, which suggests a bit of "uh oh, the gig is up" (another editor restored the text before you came in). In any event, it will probably be toasted on AfD by the beginning of next week, so we'll one less silly article online later rather than sooner.  I hope all is well in your sphere of influence.

G'day Wikimedian :-)
Whilst it's quite likely you'll have heard this news on the grapevine, in your email inbox, or even in person - I thought that it was sufficiently exciting to warrant giving each of you a 'new messages' orange bar! This particular orange bar has been brought to you to let you know that Wikimedia Australia is now open for members!

I'm not on the committee or anything, and that's where the credit is due in getting everything to this point, but I think it would be absolutely fantastic for folks who wish to support the australian wiki community, to go ahead and sign up - we're quite likely to be the world's fatest growing chapter at the moment! Join Us :-)

Here's a little more about membership, and the mailing list in particular is well worth signing up to as well, and is a good forum to get answers to any questions answered, or to share any ideas. I've dropped these notes in under my own steam, and you've received one because you're on this list - feel free to ask me any questions, or anything - I can certainly point you in the right direction :-) cheers all, Privatemusings (talk) 04:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Adele Carles
Hi, Lankiveil. Regarding your offer to move the article to my userspace, that would be good. Third party sources for the article are here and here.

Regarding the fact that she only came third, this is true (for the moment, although the count isn't finished yet). However, if she had overtaken the Liberal candidate, it was argued by Antony Green that she would have easily won the seat on Liberal preferences. Sumthingweird (talk) 15:08, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Restoration of blasphemy
While restoration of such blasphemic screeds may not be considered a wholly admirable pursuit in and of itself, I nonetheless am compelled to thank you for your quick response. I must confess some slight disappointment as to the nature of the content - I was hoping for something even slightly creative, instead it seems like a typical new user getting confused with the subtle differences twixt User: and User Talk:. I am also inclined to disagree with you vis-a-vis hanging - I feel that being drawn and quartered would be a far more suitable consequence for transgressions of this vile nature. I'm open to debate, of course and pretty much agree with your 10:16 AN/I summary. I remain, the red-linked, Badger Drink (talk) 10:30, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Methinks these folks are more attracted to the label than the object itself ;) Apologies for not replying sooner - it seems that a pagemove vandal (masquerading as a rouge admin) moved my talk page to User Talk:Badger Drink/sandbox, thus eliminating the lovely little yellow notification. Thankfully, I figured out the cause of my sudden failure to meet WP:N.

Peterson Power Systems
Hi Lankiveil,

I spent quite a bit of time writing a Wiki Page for Peterson Power System and you deleted it. The reason given was blatant advertising. I do not agree with this conclusion and spent time revising it over and over to remove anything that might not be considered NPOV. Can you please tell me specifically what part of the document was not factual in nature and is considered Advertising so that I can make more changes to this document if needed and submit it again.

Question: how is summarizing the content that follows without using pejoratives, considered vandalizing? I write in regards to the Huntington problem with health, which is noteworthy? "People in Hunnington tend to be overweight, uneducated, and toothless, as compared against the overall US population." ?

Perhaps you are a citizen of this region, and do not have perspective to deal with a hard truth.

I would seem you are advocating for a nonfactual fluffy interpretation of a statistically factual statement?

Read "tend to be, as compared to the us population as a whole". Sheesh, people from backwaters can be so temperamental as regards their obvious flaws.

Confidentiality
I did read your comparison to the Star Chamber - the reason for my oppose vote is that I have a tighter definition of what a 'secret trial' is.

I'm dropping in here because you seem to be advocating a position which says that some sort of discussion might be a good idea, and I totally agree! I've been working on a proposal at Sexual content which was intended to begin and promote a discussion in a related area, though for various reasons have found it pretty hard going. My work is currently very strongly rejected, and some editors feel that my continued involvement is in danger of becoming disruptive. Your input on the proposal, and on my management of the dynamic would be hugely appreciated... thanks :-) Privatemusings (talk) 03:15, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Karen Barth Menzies‎
Greetings...could you explain why CSD G12 was removed for Karen Barth Menzies? Seems clear to me that the article was taken, virtually verbatim, from the web page I referenced in the speedy request. What did I miss? Thanks. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 08:22, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. I see what you're getting at, but if you look at the list of publications on the site I referred to in the CSD request, that too was copied verbatim (or close enough).

Cyclonenim's coaching
It's good to be co-coaching with you! Before we really get into the swing of things, I'd like to discuss a few things with you. First of all, I'd like to talk about my coaching background and where I would like to go with Cyclonenim.

When I myself was coached (by Bibliomaniac15--the same as you I believe), I was asked series of questions dealing with policies, Wikiphilosophy, and different situations. Therefore, when I became an admin coach myself, my coaching system was comprised of a long bunch of question and answer segments. These build the coachee's knowledge of policy and teach them how to robotically deal with situations, but they do not really teach the coachee to think like an admin. I've modified my coaching strategy to try to take this into account, but I do not think that a structured coaching regimen is the answer. I've spoken to Balloonman about this and I've begun to incorporate a system he calls "footprints" into my coaching. This is where the coachee picks a few areas they would like to go into and the coach helps them to develop them in the areas. This is what I'm trying to do with Cyclonenim.

The reason why I haven't employed my normal coaching system when working with Cyclonenim is I believe he knows policy fairly well. There is not much I can teach him in that area. Instead, I need to help teach him to edit with high-quality and to learn the applications of policy. He has chosen the deletion area as his footprint, so I've been reviewing his work in that area and providing comments and advice.

What I want to do with Cyclonenim is continue to develop his skills in the deletion area (in several of the WP:XFDs and maybe WP:CSD, though your comment about his lack of interest in the area may change this), and perhaps expand to another area. I'm going to try to do several extensive reviews a month to keep him up to scratch and maybe have a few discussions with him about touchy areas of the deletion policy. What are your thoughts on the subject? Malinaccier (talk) 04:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it would be a good idea for you to concentrate on CSD and leaving me to work with him on XfD. Of course I will still value any comments you have for him in XfD, because it is always good to have a third viewpoint on most matters.  I think you're right that he could use some drilling in the A7 area.  I look forward to working with you! Malinaccier (talk) 16:53, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Neville Jetta
Thanks for the explanation on why you came to the delete conclusion - most of the other decisions in this AFL Draft batch have been single line "the result is ...". Whilst I thought the article on him and Bennell might just be enough, I wasn't confident. If I could userfy the article (and Jamie Bennell's) it will make recreation easier iff he gets more significant coverage (and not just in the Bunbury Mail or about him turning up for training) or plays a senior game. Thanks The-Pope (talk) 11:00, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

RE: User:Standforder report on AIV

Hey Lankiveil.

Hi Lankiveil, how are you?

My name is Roey and today you deleted a posted article of mine, about a company named "Blossom eLearning"

I really don't understand your reasons, cause there are lots of articles here on wikipedia that "talks" about software companies big and small, such as: Microsoft Google 2d boy axialis and so many others.

in fact, i even took a template from another article on another company and changed it to fit this company.

so, what makes "Blossom eLearning" less compatible to Wiki?

Waiting for you reply.

thanks in advance, Roey —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roeycohen (talk • contribs) 17:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

See Reusing Wikipedia content.

Herman J. Mankiewicz
Can you peek at Herman J. Mankiewicz. The other editor keeps inserting that his parents emmigrated from Poland, which is incorrect, and he keeps reverting back to a version with his personal unsourced essay as the lede. All sources says that his father was born in Berlin, and his father emigrated from Germany, not Poland. He is is on his forth or fifth reversion. At this point it is vandalism to keep adding incorrect information to the article and removing sourced information. I warned his user page for a 3rr. He has deleted over 6 references that I added to the article. You can toggle between his and my versions.

A Moments Notice
I'm trying to understand what I got wrong with this A7, which you declined. Having looked for information online about the group and having found nothing more momentous than things like these I'm wondering if the mere assertion of playing a venue like an event that is really not much more than a regional festival (at best) would qualify as a valid claim of notability? As far as I understand, for a band to make a claim to notability it has to be related to something that would be valid under WP:MUSIC, WP:CREATIVE or WP:BIO or one of the other sets of guidelines for inclusion. § FreeRangeFrog 16:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * And just to clarify here, because it might seem otherwise, I'm not being combative or trying to demand restoration of the tag or anything like that, just trying to understand if that specifically is a valid claim of notability so I can take it into account for future CSDs. Thanks. § FreeRangeFrog 16:46, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand, I suppose I see your point as far as the claim goes - regardless of the validity it's still an assertion of notability, and that's an important consideration for CSD. Thanks for your reply. § FreeRangeFrog 16:08, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you blocked for breaking the 3RR and just wanted to point out that, though he probably was unaware of it, what he was reverting contained a lot of copyvio from various news articles on arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com - which is an exception to 3RR. While it's pretty obvious JSR32 really needs a reminder of 3RR, maybe - in light of what he was reverting - a short block (since no block at all seems a little to kind) is in order? Just wanted to throw that out there. Cheers, -- aktsu (t / c) 02:09, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, two examples are "Miguel Montero and Mark Reynolds each had two hits for the visitors. Justin Upton and Brandon Watson each went 1-for-3 and scored a run. Rusty Ryal, who reached on an error in the seventh, scored on Watson's RBI single. Watson then scored on Evan Frey's ensuing RBI single for the game's deciding runs. In the ninth, Frey drove in James Skelton for some insurance" and "Starter Dan Haren, who had given up just one hit in his previous two starts, yielded seven hits and four runs in two innings". You'll find more exampled by Google-ing single sentences. -- aktsu (t / c) 02:34, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

My apologies
I am sorry for sending an offensive message, I apologize. I just do not think that a player such as Tim Tebow, regardless of his media coverage makes him notable; after all he is not pro.

I would like to nominate the article Life After Death for deletion (on the grounds of no notability) however the author will likely become combative since I voted against an [earlier] article that he authored, which led to some (fairly innocuous) vandalism on my user page. Can you please take a look at the article in question? Regards Hazir (talk) 01:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of SMG/Sports Marketing Group
Don't know why you deleted this company. You may as well delete all research, sports marketing and promotional companies like IMG, ProServ and others that were instrumental in building a 250 billion industry in America. Just because a small group of neophytes don't like the content, doesn't mean many of us have no interest. Different strokes for different folks! Should place back! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.229.128.203 (talk) 08:44, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There was a clear consensus in the deletion discussion that the article was spam and should be deleted. Having reviewed the discussion and the source article, I am satisfied that I followed the correct procedure was followed.  If you wish to challenge this, I invite you to list the decision at WP:DRV for community review.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:28, 29 April 2009 (UTC).

AfDs
all the AfDs I have nominated have reasons. laughable refers to the X-Y relationship not the article creator. on the same note is saying random insulting the creator as well? LibStar (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * no, I said laughable refers to the nature of the relationship. similarly many other editors have commented laughable in AfDs or "kill this article with fire", the creator had obsessive compulsive disorder. Civility is based on good faith editing. you have to remember this creator has wasted a lot of editors' time on Wikipedia. on the same note is saying random insulting the creator as well?

 * the user's behaviour was bordering on vandalism, and was banned twice for "Excessive stub creation" and again on a sockpuppet. Many of the articles were created with no consideration of notability. I'm not a psychologist but the behaviour was irrationally obsessive as if the user needed to do this on Wikipedia. The sufferer feels compelled to voluntarily perform irrational, time-consuming, and distressing physical behaviors. LibStar (talk) 13:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I've already given you 1 piece of evidence. I don't know why you're defending a banned user. regardless of whether this person had mental illness or not (that is not the issue here), they broke Wikipedia rules repeatedly and now editors are spending hours fixing up the mess. LibStar (talk) 13:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * so you spent all that time writing up that alert? might I add that another user said he has that disorder. I don't necessarily agree. so when I don't respond in a way you like you go to wiki alert. you might have noticed I've even put up one article since you contacted me without mention of words laughable or obsessive.
