BINDER (company)
Hello Mike! I've worked on the article BINDER (company) to improve it. It would be great if you could have a quick look at it again if there are still mutiple issues. Since I'm very new to Wikipedia and this is my first article I would also very much appreciate your advise in how is the usual procedure in getting a new article finally online resp. found on Wikipedia. Thanks a lot! Ket07 (talk) 12:28, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Sock/Meatpuppet
Hi Mike. I believe I've been roped into a larger SPI investigation. I was on IRC and a user asked me to upload an article for him Happy_Family_(food_company). I told him I would Wikify it and upload it over the next week. I think the article is noteworthy. If I'm wrong, let me know.Chiliconwiki (talk) 00:11, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Dark Signs?
Why Did you delete the Darksigns page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 18:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I never did - but if it was anything like the current version, which only consists of the words "Dark Signs is a best discribed as a" and nothing else, then it deserved to be deleted. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I was working on editing it as it was deleted. But thanks for explaining. :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 16:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm still working on the page don't delete it anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 17:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know how much clearer I can be - I'm not deleting anything. I'm simply tagging the article as a candidate for deletion, since at the time I tagged it, it was nothing more than an infobox, with no claims or signs of notability, and no references. If anything, this should be a watning flag to you to either accept that the subject doesn't pass muster to have an article and you need to stop recreating it, or that you need to wait until you have the references necessary before recreating.

Still multiple issues?
Hi Mike,

Does my page still have multiple issues? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roschier_Attorneys_Ltd.

If not, I was told the message must be removed manually.

--ChristineShaw (talk) 10:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I see why you are asking here since it was MikeWazowski who twice tagged the article as having issues. I think you'll have better luck getting a response from him if we fix the weird technical glitch that got into your link. The article is at: Roschier_Attorneys_Ltd.. Mike, could you please check the article to see if you still think it is ad-like and promotional, and has sourcing issues? Cloveapple (talk) 19:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks Cloveapple! Not sure what happened to my signature, I have used the button in the template... But let's see what Mike says about the article. --ChristineShaw (talk) 09:06, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Speed deletion request removal
Hi. I just thought I'd let you know out of courtesy that I removed your speedy deletion request from the article DirectFix. I don't think it is unambiguous advertising. The article has 4 independent references. I think the article fails WP:NOTE, but as the author points out in the talk there are similar article on Wikipedia about iFixit and iResQ. If these are acceptable then I don't think it would be consistent to nominate DirectFix for speedy deletion. This is just my opinion; please feel free to request speedy deletion again if you wish. NereusAJ (T  |  C ) 00:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Considering that the user who created the article is named DirectFix, it seems unambiguously promotional to me. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:18, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right, it is incriminating. It is definitely WP:COI. But still, this article is very similar to iFixit and iResQ. NereusAJ (T  |  C ) 00:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Li Shengshun
why do you keep adding a redaction to the Li Shengshun article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kusaga (talk • contribs) 19:15, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Because the article is completely unreferenced, and you have shown no significance or notability outside the series. I've reverted to the redirect again, but if you try to restore it, I will nominate it for deletion. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:09, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

The Flintstones (2013) deletion
On my article, The Flintstones (2013 TV series) it says it will be deleted - why? Can you remove the deletion or let me know ways to make the article not get deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TBrandley (talk • contribs)
 * No, I will not remove the speedy notice. The article was originally deleted per the discussion at Articles for deletion/The Flintstones (Fox Television series). Since your version is not substantially different from prior versions that were deleted (including one you did back in December), the CSD G4 tag is appropriate. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Change to Babylon 5 article
I noticed you prefer a season 4 poster of Babylon 5 being used instead of a screenshot of it’s intertitle logo. As the use of a screenshot of an easily identifiable element of the television show (taken from the opening credits) appears to be more appropriate in the infobox television template, and is what is used in all the wiki articles I’ve found on similar television shows, can you provide some rational for removing the B5 logo and replacing it with the poster. I’ve undid your change for the moment, as a poster could possibly be better placed in something like the article on the Babylon franchise!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minsk59 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I just feel it better represents the series - it shows not only the logo, but the entire major cast. Kills two birds with one stone. Not only that, but as an image created by WB specifically for promotional purposes, I feel its better suited for a non-free use rationale than a screenshot, which was never licensed for such use. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Question about Star Wars
When I redid my edit, I did not change the quote. But why are you calling the other edits as "inaccurate"? PRProgRock (talk) 16:24, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Your changes made such inaccuracies as saying that Anakin's name was Darth Vader as a young slave - this is wrong. You claim that "Darth Sidious" corrupted him - however, as this is discussing plot points added in 1980, this is inaccurate, as the name was not invented until the late 1990s. The first prequel was originally called Episode I: The Beginning - your change of that to The Phantom Menace in that instance is also incorrect, as are your further name changes - they are all contextually incorrect in the forms you have changed. Do not make these changes again. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:32, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand what you are saying, but for one thing, Darth Sidious and Emperor Palpatine are supposed to be the same character. Darth Tyranus and Count Dooku are also supposed to be the same character. And last, but not least, Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are also supposed to be the same character. PRProgRock (talk) 17:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * But you have to understand context - if the article is discussing these characters in historical context, your introduction of names introduced 15-20 years later is incorrect - and will be reverted. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Daniel Ortiz
Please delete the article of Daniel Ortiz, people still editing and know is consider to delete and I know that people still disturbing so please eliminate, I'm giving you the permission to do it, because I really don't know if you need the permission to do it, Daniel Ortiz (paintball player) this is the article, I placed the tag for deletion... This guy is relevant but eliminate this article and in the future I will make a better article with more relative sources... Paintballxtreme (talk) 19:48, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I cannot delete articles. However, had you left the article alone, it would have been speedy deleted under the G7 criteria - but since you then went back in and recreated all the content in the article, I think you need to just let the AfD process run its course, as you've presented too many mixed messages about your intentions today. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

MERKLE ARTICLE
Sorry, I thought I kept deleting the article myself since my computer has been freezing up. I didn't realize it was you. I'm trying to add a section similar to Ernst & Young's Global Structure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_%26_Young. Can you tell me why I can't add the offices that Merkle has similar to Ernst & Young? Zavila (talk) 20:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ernst & Young is in a far different league than Merkle. However, even that article doesn't have a section that lists every single regional office. If you're referring to the gallery at that article, I've removed it for similar reasons. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Not a problem I understand, thanks for your help - I really appreciate your guidance. Is it ok if I add external links? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zavila (talk • Zavila (talk) 21:28, 17 January 2012 (UTC)contribs) 20:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Football Ramble - Dean Windass Hall of Fame
What is the reason for continuing to delete the hall of fame section? It is referenced and is entirely related and notable when having a discussion on the podcast ---User:Murrayszymanski —Preceding undated comment added 12:51, 19 January 2012 (UTC).
 * Wikipedia does not exist to be a repository or backup for the podcast's activities. There is no sign of notability for this "hall of fame" outside the podcast, and it is only referenced to the podcast website itself, which is hardly independent sourcing. There is a section about the hall of fame in the article, and that has never been deleted. However, there is no place for the entire list on Wikipedia - that is what the podcast's website is for. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Excuse me
Was there any legitimate reason why you felt that the Tom and Jerry poster images didn't belong on their respectable articles? I feel that they help illustrate their individual subjects without the need for a gross over abundance of non-free material, as many Tom and Jerry shorts articles are currently doing. Sarujo (talk) 03:29, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Because the style guides set forth in the Animaion Wikiproject (and as seen in most animated cartoon articles) is to show the film's title card in the infobox. I just restored the articles back to the preferred format. MikeWazowski (talk) 06:31, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

on Robert Eisner
how could I enjoy editing here. Mr. Robert Eisner was to became my first contribution; I was kind of proud of that, and I was gathering some more related info on Him. You requested the new entry to be speedily deleted – for clear copyright infringement - how could it be. Please explain it to me. Alberto Veronese (talk) 15:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Because you cut-and-pasted text directly from the Chicago Tribune obituary. That's a clear copyright infringement, and not allowed on Wikipedia - I don't know how much clearer I can make it. However, someone has recreated the article, and in a much more acceptable version. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:14, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * This is false Wazowski. Yes, Cindamuse made then the article; a great page. But it was from a small (first) - bona fide - contribution I started. What I think and saw, was an inappropriate conduct from your side. Alberto Veronese (talk) 17:10, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, right. Please, try to make that an official complaint. The fact that another admin deleted it after I tagged it (remember, I can't delete articles - only an admin can do that) shows that there was merit to the tag. You don't like being called on the carpet for adding a copyvio? There's a a simple solution - in the future, DON'T ADD COPYVIOS. End of discussion. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Film festivals
You're trying to delete pages for film festivals that have been around for years but are run by people who aren't up to date with technology. We spent all night trying to increase knowledge of these events and rather than take the time to add information to them you nominate them for speedy deletion? They have every right to be in an encyclopedia that Cannes and Sundance do but don't have studio dollars backing them and when filmmakers try to help them out, someone comes along to take it all away for no reasonn. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.4.239 (talk) 18:03, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Every page you created not only appear to have all the text lifted directly from the respective websites, but all also just so happen to have ties to the movie Strings. Copyright violations and self-promotion have no place here. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:07, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I am inviting the Wikipedia Ambassadors to review the page of Kim Man　Ｌｕｉ. Please do not remove the references. The page has been ruined.

You of course add notability warning at the head. --Nofriends9999 (talk) 06:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I made the edits I did for a reason. Furthermore, I'd suggest you read up on the conflict of interest guidelines, now that you've admitted your own COI in the subject. MikeWazowski (talk) 06:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Anyway, I called in Cindamuse for help. Many references are in Chinese. Thanks, Kim Man Lui has thousands of students. Thanks. So we cannot write for him? FYI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cindamuse#Kim_Man_Lui_Page--Nofriends9999 (talk) 06:31, 25 January 2012 (UTC) I am not going to write or edit anything until Cindamuse says I can write it.

explanation politely requested
Hi Mike,

Can you please provide justification of this edit? 

It would have been possible to have done this, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. I think it's a fairly common courtesy to me, as a fellow editor, that you do this. In particular, can you explain, why somebody would be listed by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Who's Who. Did you do any research yourself? Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)‎
 * I've generally found most Who's Who to be questionable sources, as they generally require some form of payment to be listed. I cannot speak to the Oxford volume, nor can I read it at present, but based on one line (she was a British psychologist), that's hardly enough to demonstrate notability - hence the tag. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Mike, Thanks for your reply. Who's Who does not require payment to be included but is compiled professionally.  Oxford DNB is a biographical encyclopedia also compiled professionally (as per the articles on both).  They both select their members based on merit alone.  She's also the subject of a book by an academic (the same has written some papers on her too).  I agree the article is short, and I have not read the book but if I put down some facts like she was the first woman to be awarded a PhD in psychology in Britain, the first female professor of psychology in Britain, is that not good enough?  Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:46, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Oo-lone
Hi, if you're still not happy with the news sources quoted could you please delete the page in its entirety, rather than keeping a page saying it has been deleted? Thanks Jonquilljones (talk) 09:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * First off, I didn't delete anything, but the page has been deleted. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the notice that something had been deleted - that's just part of the way Wikipedia works. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:27, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your reply. Could you delete this talk section so that the title doesn't get picked up by search engines? Thanks Jonquilljones (talk) 16:36, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Thank you for putting in an effort to find sources. Unfortunately Mike is right that Wikipedia can't use an endorsement page or a Facebook page as a source of information. What is needed for a Wikipedia article is sources such as magazine articles, newspaper articles, or books. If you have some sources like that I'd be glad to help you learn how to use them to back up a Wikipedia article. Cloveapple (talk) 01:03, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Carrie's Life With Magic
Please do not bite the newcomers, like you did here. I have reverted your edit and instead welcomed them. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 16:11, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but the entire "article" is a fraud - there is no program called Carrie's Life With Magic - this is also likely not a new user, but a repeat offender, as there have been a rash of these accounts that try to create fake television program histories over the past few months. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:16, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ever heard of WP:AGF? Don't judge a book by it's cover. Tag it as a draft first, which will put it in this category, which can be purged later. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to point out that AGF is not a suicide pact. I often close MfDs and I recognise a pattern, here, though I honestly can't remember who the main account is. This is most definitely not a newbie... Salvio  Let's talk about it! 16:25, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I did a Google search on "Carrie's Life With Magic", and found zero results. AGF is all fine and dandy, but in this case, I don't think it applies - the content (not in article space, mind you, but on a talk page, where it wouldn't belong anyway) was a complete hoax. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Userspace is an even less pressing issue than article space, because remember, user's are given wide latitude to do what they please with their user space. It's one thing to react the way you did in article space, but you are being extremely bite-y by doing it in a new user's space. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, that user's gone and removed all your welcomes and messages, so I've gone ahead and flagged it as a hoax speedy deletion. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

University of Washington - United Greek Council
Hi I am new to Wikipedia and I would like to understand why my article is marked for a speedy deletion. I got the following response from someone who is trying to delete my article.

"This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a company, corporation, organization, or group that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Note that schools are not eligible under this criterion"

How can I justify that the organization I am try to write about is an important subject? I provided a brief description of the organization and I was hoping to interview some of the members of the organization for a history section later on. You can find my article at "University of Washington - United Greek Council"

Thank you Wilsonlu (talk) 18:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you have a misunderstanding about what kinds of articles Wikipedia has. We can't host the sort of original research you are planning to do. If you want to do a series of original interviews it would be best to find a different sort of website to host them, maybe start a blog for your school's Greek history?


 * If you still want to write a Wikipedia article on the topic, what you need to get started is sources that Wikipedia will accept. (And finding such sources would show that others have considered the topic important enough to write about.) So to write an article here you'd need to find newspaper articles, magazine articles, or books that discuss U of W's Greek organizations. If you have sources like that I'd be glad to help you learn the basics of writing an article here. If you don't have that sort of source, then Wikipedia is not a good place for your information. Cloveapple (talk) 20:25, 29 January 2012 (UTC)


 * There are only two sources that are credible regarding the subject I am talking about. One is from the University's newspaper and the second one is the organization's website. There are no other sources that (I know of) that has reported on this organization. Both of the sources I named are listed and referenced in my article. I was hoping to conduct interviews on the founders of the organization to add additional information in the future. Currently, only information provided by the sources are presented on the article. Wilsonlu (talk) 23:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * If I put the United Greek Council on the University of Washington page, will that be more appropriate for my work? Wilsonlu (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Adding a sentence or two to the school article would be better than trying to write a complete article on the subject. However if all you have is a student newspaper as a source, I'd still say it's a little iffy. (The organization's own website wouldn't be a very good source for Wikipedia.) If you really really want the information in Wikipedia I'd suggest asking a school librarian for help in finding sources such as non-student newspapers, books, or magazine articles. It's sometimes surprising what you find with the help of somebody who knows how to research.


 * However it still might turn out that the best use of your time is to find a different web space for your information. Cloveapple (talk) 18:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

PRProgRock
I made one of my rare decisions to impose a block of less than 24 hours on them, as it is entirely possible their position could be right ... they're not, as you admitted, adding false information per se, just using a name for a character not used at that point in the narrative. Since that might be defensible under current policy, I don't consider it vandalism.

However, refusing to discuss and continuing to edit this way either against, or in the absence of, clear consensus is undeniably disruptive, so the editing's blockable. In the future, should they continue, report them for that rather than vandalism. Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

 * The quote is inappropriately placed - that type of promotional opening is fine for a personal website, but completely out of place in an encyclopedic article. The tags were added because you have references to self-published items - his books. The do nothing to indicate notability, just existence. The primary sources tag refers to the school websites - again, these do little to indicate notability, just confirm existence from connected sources.

Hello, I would like to ask why you have removed "Coming Soon" aka future programming sections from MTV Czech and Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe? These two articles are edited and updated regularely by myself and I have all the information for them first hand, not only becuase I live in this area and watch the feeds at a regular basis. All of the mentioned future programming is accurate and even has been cited by the channels themselves - though there is no available link to prove it. However, the upcoming programming on Nickelodeon UK has been preserved, yet on the CEE feed it has been removed. Jack 6428 (talk) 13:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Whatever I removed was done because it was completely unreferenced speculation, which (as WP:CRYSTAL states) has no place here. Without proper references from reliable sources, I would feel no hesitation in removing it again. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Spotware Systems Ltd
Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Spotware Systems Ltd to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. B music ian  14:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * While no notability is asserted in the article, I don't think it is advertising. Thoughts? -- B music  ian  14:10, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This one set off every red flag in my book as far as advertising was concerned - new user account (and possibly connected to the company. as they claimed copyright ownership on all the images used, including the logo), first edit was an incredibly detailed article about a company and its products, complete with a raft of images better suited to an internal article on their website than an encyclopedic article on the company - it's more focused on promoting their products, IMHO.

M Class planet
I just watched the episode of Star Trek: Enterprise where they said that. Here's a link to a Star Trek page that confirms it http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Class_M--94.15.42.24 (talk) 18:03, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Memory Alpha is non a reliable source, as it is both a fan site and user-editable. However, while the term Minshara is used in the series, nowhere is it specifically stated from a reliable source that Minshara and M-class are the same - not even on the official page at startrek.com.

Ink Global
Looking at the source and target it looks like a copy and paste. However, assuming that load of awards, which I think is undue weight anyway, is to be left in, since it's a list, how can one avoid it? Thoughts for the article creator would be appreciated, too, please. I think they are very new to WP. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:22, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say go ahead and remove it - I'm finding a lot of copyvios or copy/pastes from the primary source already, so I'm beginning to think we've got a COI advert on our hands, anyway... MikeWazowski (talk) 15:29, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Do not delete my pages about the members
it took me 2 hours to make those pages. would you please revert on the notability maybe you're right but i don't want the member section on the One Direction page to became huge and filled up with info. The coldplay members all have there own page the only that's notable in the group is Chris Martin i don't even know the other band members name. User: AdabowtheSecond — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdabowtheSecond (talk • contribs) 18:53, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

your edit for stipple
Stipple is the company name so not sure how you've determined it to be a hijacking of the redirect! Any suggestions on what the page name should be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmcdonnel (talk • contribs) 21:45, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, if anything, you should have created a new page, such as Stipple (company) instead of hijacking an existing redirect, as you most certainly did. However, given than the company is a startup of questionable notability and the article had a very advertising tone, and had already been proposed for deletion, I'm not sure it would have lasted long anyway.

Niall Horan
You are dangerously close to 3RR on Niall Horan. Three different editors have expressed a different opinion than you. If you think the article should be deleted for notability concerns, then please file an AfD. CharlieEchoTango ( contact ) 22:52, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * One is the article creator, the other seems connected, and Barney was just making a WP:POINTy revert after making a personal yesterday. If you'll unprotect the article, I intend to file an AfD on it to force the issue on the redirect - I don't wish to delete it, but I don't believe the kid has demonstrated any significant notability outside the group. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I understand there is a background here, but reverting is still edit-warring - it's not a solution. Unprotected for you to take it to AfD, but please do not revert again. Best, CharlieEchoTango  ( contact ) 00:07, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

It's not vandlaism if i'm making positive work on an article. Instead of giving me incorrect warnings, I suggest you discuss my edits on a talk page. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Except you're not making positive work on it. Your edits are becoming increasingly WP:POINTy in my opinion, and you're this close to getting a block for edit-warring. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:46, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * You seem to accuse a lot of users of WP:Point as an argument, but I feel you are doing the same to boost your own definition of "epic science fiction" in the lead of the 2001 article. I've made discussions on the epic film article's talk page which you have ignored. I don't appreciate this and if you want to contribute to the article go right ahead and add citations, try to add a conversation than just deleting me based on speculation.

Marble
I've come across a couple of pages today where your edit summary said you were redirecting the title to marble, but instead of properly redirecting you actually just blanked the page instead. So just wanted to give you a quick reminder that if you're redirecting, you need to actually put a #REDIRECT, followed by the target title, into the page. Thanks.

Adding external links
Hi Mike,

My apologies. As you can see, this is my first time adding links to wikipedia. If possible, I'd like to resubmit. Popcornflix, which is listed as a source on Wikipedia, owns all the rights to these movie titles. We'd simply just like to be added as a reference for your visitors to learn more about the movies you have listed on your site. I'll be happy to resend the links in this format:

Do it for Columbo
As if this were a surprise ... I'd appreciate it if you did not fritter round with this article whilst we are in mediation, Mike. I know how you cannot stay away from yanking my chain when something's cooking that doesn't even concern you ... but please leave it alone. It'll only get reverted anyway, what's the use of you sticking your beak in?-- Djathink imacowboy  04:30, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Dude, what's your problem? Every movie and TV article I have on my watchlist (and Columbo is one of them) has an IMDB link in the external links section - it's not a controversial edit, I was just following standard practice. I don't need your permission to edit or not edit any article, and this has nothing to do with you, so I'd appreciate you dropping the insinuation that any time we cross paths is meant to be confrontational. Go away. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:37, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

You know, you were right and I was wrong about the whole issue, and I came here to apologise as well as to let you know I admitted this at the MedCab. But I see you just told me to "go away", so I'll do that. I was only going to indicate furthermore, it's a little funny the way you keep showing up wherever I am having a 'to-do'. You picked one heck of a time to decide to go over to Columbo and fix the error, though I appreciate that you did it. It called it to my attention. So, how about this: we each go away from the other? Can you do that? I know I can, and I did it in the past, yet here you showed up again apparently to avoid a confrontation with me, right?....-- Djathink imacowboy  01:31, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

CoolNovo
I've declined your A7, as it's a web browser not web content. If the article were about www.herbertsfavourites.gb. where one could download it, yes, that's web content. The prog itself, no, sorry.

 * Unfortunately, it doesn't at this point. Personal pages from Facebook, Tumblr, and IMDB are not reliable sources. Of the two Amazon links, one shows a self-published book (barely a pamphlet, actually) which is not a good indicator, and the other has no mention of Romero.

proposed deletion of pre-popping article
Hi Mark,

My name is Yaniv Nizan and I wrote the article about pre-popping.

I noticed that while the terms pre-pop, pre-popping and pre-poppable are widely used in the lead generation industry that turns around $4.7 billion dollars annually and employees tens of thousands of people, the definition of the terms is missing from wikipedia.

My main concern is that deleting this article is indicative of a larger problem that can be thought of as a chicken and egg problem. If wikipedia can't define terms that haven't been already defined elsewhere, and others are not willing to define terms not previously defined in wiki then we are at a deadlock. In other words, someone has to go first and formalize terms commonly used by large amounts of people.

Regards,

Yaniv Nizan (212.25.110.130 (talk) 10:08, 1 March 2012 (UTC))

Apology to MikeWazowski
Hi Mike, I owe you an apology. After a few weeks of reflection as well as reviewing Wikipedia policies carefully, I realized that I was wrong and also misunderstood some of these processes. While I was disheartened that you nominated the My Revenge (band) article for deletion without more discussion about it with me on my talk page; I nevertheless made some poor decisions following the nomination. I do want you to know, that with regards to sockpuppetry - some of the editors on the deletion discussion page who wanted to keep the article were entirely independant of me and I have no relationship or knowledge of them whatsoever. Indeed though, some of the editors who wanted to keep the article did have a relationship with me and liked the article, so they logged on with the specific purpose of wanting to vote to keep the article. I recognize this is not sound Wikipedia policy and I should not have had anything to do with that - but I do want to clarify that it was not me just using separate accounts to support the article, but indeed though some were friends. I apologize for that, as well as my vitriol towards you in on the discussion and talk pages. I am going to take a break, reassess what I'd like to do, and perhaps do some minor editing to other articles for the time being. I wanted to tell you that you're a great editor and a solid contributor to Wikipedia. I am truly sorry for what happened. No excuses at all, I apologize. Sincerely, Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 16:40, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Cash method of accounting
Hello Mike how are you? That paragraph to which you brought my newly created article of "Cash method of accounting" relates to the tax concept, whereas I am writing the article on GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The only sentence that can relate to my article in that paragraph, which I intend to expand is "Similar definition of cash basis accounting is true for financial accounting purposes". As a practicing CPA I am quite aware of the difference, so, unless you have an argument against it, would you please gently revert your edit which deleted the "Cash method of accounting" article and redirected it into the cash accrual concept? You can also consult the sources that I brought forth. Thanks! Markerdryer (talk) 17:47, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Please excuse my ignorance on this, but if you're going to delete the multiple award nominations lists that I've either added or ammended, why are you leaving the very same list on the Academy Award for Best Director page, which has been up since early 2008 (and was essentially the basis for me doing the rest of them)?

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/bank book, term loan, revolving credit, others
Hi Mike,

You prohibited publication of several entries I made last week -- bank book, term loan, revolving credit, etc. Forgive me for any missteps. I've used Wikipedia for years, but am new to editing. I am grateful for its existence, and certainly want to work with you and others to maintain its high standards. This is an important resource that demands high quality and diligent enforcement.

I've since read extensively in an attempt to educate myself. I've read about Conflict of Interest, neutral point of view, verifiability, what Wikipedia is not, copyright compliance, etc.

Please help me understand something. When I posted the article, my talk page (below) stated that I was involved with putting online the Leveraged Finance Primer. I do help maintain the website on which the Primer resides, and I never tried to be deceptive about this. The site does not produce a revenue stream. It has a neutral point of view. It is created by a reporting and research division of Standard and Poor's as a service to the leveraged finance community. It is meant to help that community, particularly students and those new to the industry, in understanding key terms and dynamics. '''The information is presented in an exceedingly neutral form, by industry professionals. These professionals are not in the business of sales or trading, but rather reporting.'''

'''We note that many terms used in the industry are not addressed in articles currently in Wikipedia. The articles are of use to the leveraged finance community. Just as importantly, they are of use to a public that is becoming -- as a requirement against the sort of blindness that caused the financial collapse of a couple years ago -- more educated. As the market changes and becomes more robust, it will be important for the public to understand terms such as a "dividend loan" to perform policing and over watch of the financial community.'''

There is a subscription-based website that this division of S&P produces. However, we've created this new free website especially to help educate the industry in a neutral way. On it is a "Leveraged Loan Primer" which some experts have put time into creating. This Primer contains terms which those new to the industry will need defined. This is the primary reference which we'll use in creating new Wikipedia entries.

Again, we don't sell S&P services on this site or in the Primer. It is created as an information vehicle only.

We think information on the website and in other internal copyrighted documents can be enormously beneficial to Wikipedia users.

I am working to get complete copyright information so I can supply that as needed when I quote directly or reference the site. I will have permission, but want to make sure all copyright is in order before proceeding. Can you please confirm that once this is available, that I will be able to post this material?

Again, we believe that defining terms and dynamics of this industry -- most not at present addressed by Wikipedia -- is precisely in lines of supplying the community a verifiable resource with a neutral point of view.

Thanks

ORIGINAL "TALK" PLACED ON "TERM LOAN" PAGE-- I originally created this page and provided the reference: http://www.leveragedloan.com/primer/ This is a new online source, expanding upon the hard copy brochure published by Standard & Poor's: "A Guide to the Loan Market," Copyright 2011 by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P) a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. This is the most requested document concerning Leveraged Loans in the $375 billion leveraged finance community. The Primer is written by experts with decades of experience in leveraged finance. The lead writer is Steven Miller, who is Director of Leveraged Commentary and Data at S&P. Among other things, he hosts a Forbes blog dedicated to leveraged finance. He is one of the preeminent authorities in this field in the world. We put the publication online as a service to the asset class and leveraged finance community, and are spending considerable time creating, updating, and adding attribution to Wikipedia articles in this niche area of finance. Again, as a service to those who work and study leveraged finance. We find that many key terms -- such as this, "term loan" -- are not included in Wikipedia. For that reason, I created this short article yesterday, attributing it to the online Primer. We also find that some terms listed can be improved and are therefore pasting in a couple of sentences, where appropriate, to articles in order to provide the Wikipedia community with more detailed and updated info — Preceding unsigned comment added by Misterwl37 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The problem was that nearly everything you poster was a direct copyright violation - i.e. a word for word copy/paste of the material on those websites. As to whether it can be posted, it would be better if you were able to supply references to sites NOT controlled by you or your company, so that any conflict of interest/promotional aspects can be cleared up. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:55, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Mike, I had external links deleted when I tried to link out from certain wikipedia pages to sections of the LeveragedLoan.com's online primer. I thought these links added to understanding of the topic by Wikipedia users. I don't understand why my external links were omitted but those by investopedia were not, especially since investopedia links wikipedia users to its pages with advertisements. (See "high yield bond," and many other pages.)Misterwl37 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Mike, Some examples of where investopedia linked out to its site (which has ads) to help explain certain terms in wikipedia: "investment grade," "leveraged buyout," "high yield bond," "leveraged finance." When I tried to do the same, linking from "syndicated loan" to our Primer, you deleted that. I think our Primer, written by top industry professionals, offers great information to wikipedia users. Why were we deleted while investopedia was not? Thanks Misterwl37 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:42, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Rytmus
Please do not speedy tag articles which have interwikis, references and countless more references on their interwikis. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of "no assertion of notability". Rytmus is clearly notable, he's one of the most (unfortunately) influential hip hop musicians in CZ/SK and has appeared all over the idol shows there as a judge, I started that article as a stub because I don't have the time or energy to translate the whole article from cs.wiki yet. As for Kontrafakt, if anything I think this could redirect to Rytmus, because he's the only one who's really notable. - file lake shoe 17:00, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I did not speedy Rytmus, I redirected it, as I did not believe him to be notable outside his group. While you may disagree, do not lecture me, as I did nothing wrong in my edits. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Mike can you please review the Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto Wikipedia page about a user deleting some valuable websites and in the process blocked my other username SMCKINNON_SBCCT I jsut choose that username not to website or group and I should have unblocked.SMCKINNON (talk) 06:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey Mike, if you connect the letters SBCCT to Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto, you'll figure out pretty quickly why I blocked that account. On User talk:SMCKINNON SBCCT there is a kind of explanation for the two accounts but it doesn't make a damn bit of sense, and one could actually interpret the events as socking. SMCKINNON, you need to consider that this is an encyclopedia, not a means for you to promote an event with which you appear to be connected. Speaking of which, I just found something else I think is interesting, but I will place that on your talk page. Thanks Mike. Drmies (talk) 16:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Page Deletions
"I can do whatI I like, and you have shown no real indications of notability for this on its own - it is up to you to convince us otherwise on the talk page"

Seriously?..

I joined Wikipedia three days ago, read the rules, and apparently know more about this website's policy than a frequent editor who has been here for many years. Contrary to what you say, you can't simply "do what you like" on here. There are rules, and I suggest you read them before deleting articles that I have written.

Flagging is fine, speedy deletion requests are also fine, using the talk page is fine, but arbitrarily deleting articles like you have been is not, because you are not an admin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghudner (talk • contribs) 03:39, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Choke the Word
Hi, Mike.

You've marked Choke the Word for deletion due to questionable notability and lack of results in a Google news search. I was wondering if the band's recent nomination in Westword newspaper's 2012 Music Showcase competition (as noted here) would be sufficiently notable for a stay of execution?

excuse me, but we are the reliable source. We own the name "TwinSister" under trademark laws with copyright and have so informed this other Twinsister who has repeatedly neglected to make a change in their name. They know they must change their name, but for some reason, decided not to. We have been fair and understanding and even told them to add one or two words, but they have still asked to share "our" name. This can not be done. There is only one "TwinSister" and they are form PA not NY, as there is only one "Kiss", one "Heart", one "Styxx"....you get the point.

Your treatment of Kmhistory
Look before you give him templates. Check the talk page of Samuel's article again before you use the erroneous SPS tags, and make sure you're using the correct definition. He really feels bitten by you; the last thing we want is to lose him.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:33, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Erroneous? She is the one in the wrong here, Jasper. Don't forget, she's the one who engaged in lies and deception to keep a puff piece article about herself. She's brought this on herself by not understanding how things work, and denying her own COI in various articles. Her original additions to the Wood article were some of the most blatant promotional copy I've seen recently. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:37, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * She's changed now. Your definition of WP:SPS and the templating was completely unhelpful. If someone has a COI you guide them, not shove them off. In either case it isn't worth an edit war over.Jasper Deng (talk) 19:39, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Apparently the self-published tag was restored accidentally with a rollback - however, the primary sources tag is valid, and if she removes it again I will treat it as vandalism. The reasons for it have been explained to her, but she refuses to accept them. This is not my problem - until the situation is corrected, I will restore the proper tag. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:43, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Best of CN
OK, enough! Why do you think Best of CN is minor? It's a block, CN hasn't done blocks for 2 years now. Plus, it's not a block that airs premieres like most do, it's a block that airs older cartoons. And this is also going to be a Cartoon Planet revival, it'll be hosted by Brak and Zorak, it'll have songs and comedy bits between shows. Andy Merrill confirmed it. It's an improvement for Cartoon Network, when was the last time CN cared for their older shows and characters, huh?

If you are not letting actual facts to be displayed in Wikipedia I request the deletion of the entire article. The facts and comments expressed by Daniel Christensen are negative and not true.

I don't know the real reasons why Mr. Christensen had to provide such negative comment, but I request it to be removed from the Talk section. My intention is not to promote the building, but to mention the actual facts of what the building has to offer. Brickell Financial Centre II, as expressed by Mr. Christensen in the article, is not part of the project and his comments are negative in this regard.

The Black and White Minstrel Show
Hello Mike,

Sorry you didn't like the truth about the B&W Minstrels. I was there, you see -- even though I'm a Canadian I was one of the lead singers in 2 productions, director of a professional chorus in the Liverpool version (Dec/Jan 61-62), I trained the singers for 3 productions including the Victoria Palace which ran for 10 years, sang on 2 of the LP's and in the recording chorus for the 1961 TV season. I knew everyone involved. George Mitchell did not create the show, BBC producer George Inns did. He devised the format and the total concept of having the men in blackface. Even Mitchell's obituary in The Telegraph, 29 Aug 2002, confirms this. And quoting pop psychologists about embarrassment is certainly below the standards of what Wikipedia should be all about. Why is no one embarrassed about Al Jolson? Read the Wikipedia article about Jolson. Lenny Henry's sudden announcement of 'contractual obligations' doesn't ring true. I knew Bob Luff, who was the money man behind the stage productions and also Henry's agent. He would never have compelled Henry to do the show against his wishes. If Henry's career is declining, and I don't know that, it's certainly a neat way of putting yourself in the limelight. Black performers had no qualms about working with Jolson in blackface. This whole article needs to be rewritten with accuracy. Minstrel62 (talk) 02:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

 * In actuality, your edits removed a large section about the history of the group without re-incorporating that content into your revisions. I've also noticed a serious problem, in that all your edits seem to be adding poorly referenced promotional content about Jordan Andrews an his company - this is unacceptable, and I've restored the article back to a version before your promotional additions. Please discuss any further changes on the article talk page before you attempt to restore them, as this type of promotional editing is severely frowned upon. MikeWazowski (talk) 13:24, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

The content I added is not in anyway meant to be promotional at all, but informative and to the point. No where in my revisions is there any wording that even suggests some kind of promotional intent. The revisions I had made incorperate recent developments in the groups history and work with Jordan Andrews. Sorry for coming accross confrontational but i promise you this is not my intent, iv'e just tried to fix many flaws i've noticed within this article. All the best and thank you.

P.S: Just a little something to help you in youre desicions to edit this article, I've personally conducted interviews with this group and the original history of this group as written in the article is not acurate nor backed up but relevant references if you notice, so my edit had removed all info that had no relevant references and also cleaned up the groups 'history' which after personally talking to them a while back i am deffinetly sure they would have not wanted included in the article as it was. Sorry again for the trouble, I hope we can come to a middle ground on this, i would very much like to work alongside you in making this an up to standard article, your help would greatly be appreciated!

Also could you please help in either showing me how to add citations and footnotes to relevant referances, what references in the article constitute at primary so we can replace this and get them up to standard. The latest edit is a compremise between the original and the latest edit. Please work with me as a team to get this up to par, I am sure after readin the above messages you will understand.

Hey MikeWazowski
I never said that others do vandalism in this encyclopedia, you said that you, just say in my edits "vandalism PLEASE do not" because all the administrators and users (like you) always call me Vandal without justification, and absolutely NEVER I appreciate the issues here, just threaten me again and again with wicked pleasure.--OliverDF (talk) 15:20, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

1. Most of the anonymous users, and here unfortunately not attempt to identify those who vandalize.

2. Some registered users, and again here unfortunately not attempt to identify and differentiate those who vandalize, vandalize those who do not like me (I've never vandalized here).--OliverDF (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Please refer to my recent messages to you on your TALK page, i want to clear this up and bring this article up to standard working with you as a team to make it the best it can be. so with nothing but good intentions i promise you the edits i have made and adjusted are for the best, they are greatly more acurate speaking from a direct secondary source to this group and the collective of artists involved with them as I have wrote national interviews and articles about these artists, unfortunatly not having the pleasure of meeting them as of yet! So thank you for your care however let us try find a middle ground, i am sure you will be pleased with my last edit but lets try get this up to standard now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtoriumFF (talk • contribs) 17:00, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Also, I understand that I was not giving reasons for my edits, which from the normal persons perspective such as yourself you would see as some kind of article vandalism, however my edits a re far from it, as stated many times now it is in the total interest of the article. There is wrong information with no relevant references, broken links, mispelled names and words, bad grammer, there has been recent developments that contradict the article of the subject and needed up dating.

Minecon
Dear Mr Wazowski

RE: The minecon controversy (that was a bit of a typo wasn't it) I feel that all of the sources referenced provide ample evidence that the fall-out was a notable part of the event. The information is drawn from secondary sources of proven longevity and reliability. Both PC Gamer Magazine and Edge magazine are substantial and notable publications. Secondly I do not believe that the notability or otherwise of the podcast in question is relevant to the issue at hand. It has already been established by the article that Notch is notable as was MineCon, therefore it merely needs to be demonstrated that the events formed a notable part of minecon, not that every single one of the protagonists are individually notable. The sources are sufficient to establish this, indeed edge magazine not only published a number of articles but also included it in their weekly round-up of notable news and their yearly round of of indie gaming related news which largely discussed minecraft.

I hope you understand my position more clearly now and if you have any suggestions of potential refinements to this section they would be very welcome.

Many Thanks

MADtv
Could you please explain how the series had no connection with the humor magazine? I've always thought it was based on the magazine. - PRProgRock (talk) 15:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No one's saying it had no connection - this is the problem when you continually change things based on something you're obviously don't know about. There is a distinct difference between your blanket "based on" version to the factual version about the name being licensed. The makers of the Magazine had no input into the show, and apart from one or two instances (noted in the article), the show was *not* based on content from the magazine. I'm sorry that you appear to not be able to tell the difference, but the added detail about the licensing of the name is a necessary point, as the two ways to describe the connection have two different connotations. Your version does not give a true picture of the situation, but the original wording does. Do not change it again. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:47, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

So, MADtv is not an adaptation of the issues, it is just inspired by the magazine in terms of humor. Am I right? PRProgRock (talk) 02:41, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

A brief question on your reversion of my edit here
Can I just briefly ask you why you reverted my edit above and commented that it was my personal opinion? I actually agree with Altman and Gross in their book TrekNavigator that ST TAS should actually be considered canon in the Star Trek universe since Gene Roddenberry created the 1970s show and exercised full editorial control over it with the help of DC Fontana. But legally, it was Roddenberry who suddenly changed his mind in the 1980s and said that ST TAS should Not be canon so what is wikipedia to do here? Disagree with the law and Roddenberry's estate? All I'm saying is that my opinion is while ST TAS should be canon according to Gene Roddenberry's wishes and estate, its not. So, I was actually just following following Gene's edict here. Do you have a response? My edit just stated the obvious--that while certain elements of ST TAS have been incorporated into episodes considered canon by Roddenberry--ST TAS is not unfortunately. Nothing more. Thank You. I hope you understand my edit on Gene's rather strange treatment of ST TAS. --Leoboudv (talk) 02:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "Disagree with the law"? What law? There are no laws that govern what is canon and what is not - and Roddenberry's estate has no control over Trek, so it doesn't matter what they think. Your edit stated, without attribution, that the animated series is not canon. Surely you understand proper referencing by now? The animated series has been recognized as canon by the official Star Trek site, which is run by the current owners of Trek, so in that regard I have no problem with removing something like what you posted, and would (and will) do it again. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:45, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank You for your reply. Please don't be offended. I just wanted your pespective on the situation of ST TAS. CBS today controls Star Trek, not Roddenberrry's estate, but they generally try to follow Gene's wishes here on ST TAS. It would have been simpler if Roddenberry never hired Arnold as an archivist to deal with fans letters on Star Trek in the 1980s since this situation would not have occured. But now that he did, some book writers like Michael Okuda have also chosen reluctantly to omit ST TAS from their treatment of the Star Trek universe. As an aside, I remember reading Star Trek.com's statement acknowleding the existence of ST TAS and their decision to give some coverage--though not acceptance on Canon--to this series years ago. But then CBS fired a whole bunch of startrek.com staffers and that link is now dead. Even startrek.com's fans ratings of various Star Trek episodes is gone. What a pity. All the reviews I wrote for various Classic Star Trek shows on startrek.com have disappeared too--just deleted I guess.  With an owner like CBS, it feels like Star Trek doesn't need enemies today. They call it costcutting unfortunately. With kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:10, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Multiple Issues Tag on C-Rayz Walz Article
Hi MikeWazowski, I have been trying to improve the article on rapper C-Rayz Walz. After I added a biography section, you came and tagged it as relying heavily on one source, containing references which do not meet Wikipedia's guidelines for reliable sources, and maybe containing original research. I realized that I had made a mistake in citing my content, accidentally only putting in one source where I had intended two. I also realize that the sources I used are not as established and legitimate as they could be. I assumed that the original research part could have been referring to my interpretation of the interview I found. Due to the lack of information on C-Rayz Walz, I can't really do anything about how reliable the sources are, but I did add another source and changed my wording when talking about the interviews. The rest of the article is pretty biased and I plan to work on it more. I am very new to Wikipedia, and I would like to hear further suggestions from you. Please let me know if you believe some issues have been resolved or if there is more I could do! MarchionessGrey (talk) 15:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

The Emigrant
Dear Mike,

I added a little bit more on The Emigrant's short story page. I truly consider this short story not only a world record (as many) but a great condensed version of the drama of every emigrant. Certainly, the author has no page in English --he is young. But he has in Spanish. Even more, the short story has been translated, at least, into twenty languages. I found this on the web today: 2005年墨西哥作家路易斯•费利佩•洛梅利（Luis Felipe Lomelí，生于1975年1月10日）写作了《移民》（El Emigrante）：“¿Olvida usted algo? -¡Ojalá!”（您忘了？但愿如此！）这一全文只有4个词的作品，是迄今为止最短的西语小说.

Great Hymn to The Aten - your deletion of a reference item
Hi Mike: I read your comment, "Undid revision 506805666 by Salim e-a ebrahim (talk) removed WP:OR disguised with 'reference'". It seems you have detected something incorrect in what I did because the reference you deleted was meant only to show that the hymn was translated by the referenced persons and that therefore it was not something created by me out of my imagination in order to assert an opinion [WP:OR (Original Research)] as you felt I had done.

I have no axes to grind since I am not an Egyptian or a Pharaoh-phile. What I stated is right there in the hymn itself staring us in the face! Clearly, I had nothing to do with the hymn itself since I have no expertise in reading hieroglyphs - and that is why the need of that reference to show that it is a bona fide translation - and you removed it! How does that help bring about a better article? After reading the hymn in translation please let me know whether I have stated something that is not there in the hymn itself. People have even compared it to Psalm 104. Clearly therefore it is to be regarded as a hymn and not even a poem.

The only thing that really shook me up was that this Pharaoh was living before the coming of Moses and was asserting that there was a "unique/sole God" or "spiritual Presence" on earth.

I hope I have clarified my side of the matter. On your side I see that you do a lot of reverts. Are you an Admin? If so then since I am new and getting my feet wet could you please tell me what it was that you have found in that reference which seemed to you to be like Original Research?

from Preciousconsort (dan Altieri author, regards Shangri-la in Brown University people--class 1971
Dear Mike: I do indeed think there was an error. I have since adjusted my entry of coauthorship of Shangri-La in my Brown University People literature entry. However, i do not know exactly which point I made that was being contested: Shangri-la by Dan Altieri and Eleanor Cooney (both authors dividing the work by chapters) was the result of a search for authors by the original publisher in the 1930's for LOST HORIZON. According to the editors at Wm. Morrow publishing back in the mid-90's, they had been looking for someone(s) to author a sequel to their famous book by James Hilton. We (dan a./eleanor c.) were recommended and after a lengthy time getting our story line approved by the surviving members of the Hilton estate (miss Porterfield (?) et.al. other names escaping my present memory), our story and style was highly approved--we were then granted the licence and the contract to do the official sequel to LOST HORIZON--I do notknow of the other (sequel) mentioned in a brief article in wikipedia regards James Hilton, ,however, -- I do know that this other book ("Messenger"(?) I am not disparaging this gentleman's work or talent but) was not authorized either by the publisher of by the surviving members of the Hilton family. Therefore, making our Shangri-la truly the only approved sequel--this is fact.

Sesame Street
Hey Mike,

I have a couple of issues with your edits of this article. First off, your additions to the infobox: I reverted them because they're unsourced. I'm not as concerned about their additions, however, since content in infoboxes don't always need to be sourced, but it would be nice to know where you got the information. My biggest concern is the separation of the "History" section into two sections, and the new "Series outlook" section. The content in both sections is a synopsis of History of Sesame Street, so it best belongs in one section. Remember that this is a FA, and it was vetted with the three paragraphs in one section. I'm not sure the folks at FAC would approve of the change. IOW, I think that we need, with the exception of the addition of new material (which at this point, isn't very likely), to keep it as faithful to the approved FA-version as possible. Consequently, I'd like to revert your changes and keep the information in one section. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 21:01, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

DistiStock Deletion - Help
Hi Mike,

If I understand correctly, the page I submitted, DistiStock, was marked for speedy deletion because it was interpreted as advertising.

Just to provide a bit of background, the DistiStock application was developed by the company I work for. Initially it was only used for a specific client, but with the client's permission, we decided to release it to the general public after the Japan earthquake in 2011. The earthquake hit one of the most populated semiconductor manufacturing areas of the world and a lot of large manufacturing companies were forced to shut down operations. In turn this led to a rise in the number of counterfeit and sub-standard components finding their way into the supply chain, even in very big companies and government agencies like NASA, the U.S. Navy and many others.

Our intention in releasing DistiStock publicly was to try to get some integrity back into the industry and help curb the already visible degradation. Everything in the article is verifiable.

I checked Wikipedia for other similar articles. It turns out there are numerous articles about companies and products. There is even one about America II, a competitor of our client. In fact many of the electronic component distributors that DistiStock includes also have Wikipedia pages, for example DigiKey and Mouser.

Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I understand that I'm not too neutral, but it's not because we're trying to make mega-bucks. It's because this is a one of a kind product that represents a new direction in supply chain sourcing. Please help point me in the right direction.

 * Mike, thanks for your comments but on the table I mentioned "comparison of network monitoring systems/software" and the links to the corresponding vendor descriptions, none of those parties are neutral third party contributors. All of those pages were contributed by the vendors themselves.  Also, in my opinion, the table of listed vendors incomplete without Centerity Systems as there are over 50 vendors listed who are our direct competitors.  I think I understand the mission of Wiki and will try to comply but note that the examples I modeled my additions after (the table and links to vendor product descriptions) came directly from the other contributors that are still listed and linked. Additionally, all I was trying to do was to create a placeholder for Centerity that would be improved over time.  I am a first time user so I assumed that modeling what already exists is the norm.  I will try to do better.  Marty  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwpejko (talk • contribs) 13:50, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

In reference to this change

Was that your caption? Because the grammar is unintelligible and syntax is awkward. Unless I'm mistaken, that's adequate cause for an edit. Simply reverting it and saying "unnecessary" seems a bit dismissive of the issue that was raised in the edit. If you have a better suggestion for how to fix it, I have no problem with that but the current wording is inelegant, at best.

Precious Consort on Shangri-La James Hilton article/Brown University
Dear Mike: I do understand why you had to delete my Brown University notable reference--it is a deserved place--If it might help I shall produce great newspapers reviews etc. but understand the necessity to operate within the regulations However, I DO NOT COMPREHEND the deletion of the SHANGRI_LA SEQUEL article--yes it could be shortened. BUt despite being one of the authors approved to write it by Hilton estate survivors Porterfield and Hill in 1996 and chosen by the publisher of the original who holds the sole rights--the return of the brief mention of "MESSENGER" in its place, is a dissservice to the Enclyclopedia. ONce again, no one can simply write a book and call it a sequel to a famous property. LOST HORIZON is copyrighted and not in the Public Domain. This is clearly now against publishing law. Mr. DeMarco can write whatever he wishes, but he cannot call it the sequel to LOST HORIZON--this is a privilege accorded to those chosen to write it by those who own the rights to it. This deletion and return to "Messenger"now borders on copyright infringement. Please make this correct for the owners of the rights to LOST HORIZON Wm. MOrrow PUB. et. al. and those many loyal readers of Wikipedia. Now regards Notable listing for BROWN please tell me which great reviews to cite and where to cite them: London Times? Die Spiegel Germany, Le Monde Paris, Le Figaro Paris. San Francisco Chronicle Sunday entertainment? and BTW further Regards SHANGRI-LA: Is Mr. DeMarco a personal friend? I am certain he is a fine gentleman, but he does not have the approval to write the sequel to LOST HORIZON. There have been many many writers, from high school students, English majors etc.to others, who enjoyed the original story and were inspired to write stories and essays for their claassmates. None are official. Please respond. If I were a TV producer with lots of money, but did not own the rights to say, STAR TREK, could I create a new series to that name? We feel greatly wronged.

please make this right.
 * What part of WP:COI have you not understood? I've explained this several times to you - you have a clear conflict of interest on this matter, and you should not be using Wikipedia for promotion and advertising of either your book or yourself, especially since you've shown that you cannot be neutral in regards to your contributions. And "copyright infringement"? Really? For removing blatantly promotional content? Do you actually have any idea what you're talking about in regards to copyright? As for this DeMarco person, I have no idea who he is - and this is not a discussion about some third party, this is a discussion about YOU. Please stop trying to game the system by adding promotional content for yourself. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, "unofficial" things can be notable - see Star Trek: Phase II for one recent example. However, I want to make one thing clear, here - any further attempts by you to remove your competitor's book will be treated as nothing more than vandalism on your part. Your book is mentioned in the article, and given equal treatment with the other - the only preference given in listing the other one first is because it was published first.

 * Dear editors_my act of "disruptive" editing for the James HIlton article sequels came about only after a long and very difficult discussion with the Talk pages--I did not want this published as an encyclopedia article. I wrote the article in the James Hilton sequel section to provide the editors with the acts or where beside myself they might obtain them.
 * The story of Shangri-La or the sequel to LOST HORIZON was wrong, Frank DeMarco did not have the literary rights to write the sequel to Mr. Hilton's famousLOST HORIZON. WE did. But try as I might through the talk pages politely and respsectfully to get them to correct this, I could get nowhere.  The knowledge of shangri-la its publication and coming into being as the legitimate sequel proposed and licensed by those who own the literary rights to LOST HORIZON was going nowhere--no one would fix it. I wrote the article so someone would see it and rewrite it themselves(I thought the eduit was going into the Hilton Losts Horizon Talk pages.  The truth concerns me, it reflects on my accomplishments.  Please understand how hard it has been for me to get anyone to notice and fix the "There are two sequels to.... FALSE>"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Preciousconsort (talk • contribs) 23:14, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No, the line is not false. The other book is billed as a sequel to the original. This is a fact. There have always been unauthorized sequels to famous books - whether they're signed off on by the original author or their estate makes no difference. Would you remove any mention of The Wind Done Gone from the Gone with the Wind page? What about Wide Sargasso Sea in regards to Jane Eyre? You WILL NOT remove the other book again.

Possible HarvSquad/Bernard "Rockit" Harvey hoax
'HarvSquad' are also credited at Believe (Justin Bieber album). You'll need to 'Show' the 'Swedish bonus track/Spotify bonus track'. That the article in question was 'born' fully formed by a new editor whose only contribs is adding or removing redlinks is very suspicious; seems you're right.

Speedy deletion declined: Bernard "Rockit" Harvey
Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Bernard "Rockit" Harvey, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''If this is a hoax, it isn't a blatant and obvious one. I'm seeing almost 7000 Google hits for a search of '"Bernard Harvey" "Justin Bieber"'.''' Thank you. — <span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 00:56, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Weird - I did Google searches on "Bernard "Rockit" Harvey" and "Bernard Rockit Harvey" and they only show that Wikipedia article. The only provided references are to a site that allows you to add your own name to any album, and is therefore completely unreliable. MikeWazowski (talk) 01:04, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * To follow up on that - it looks like he has actually played bass for Bieber, and I think the song credits are probably genuine. I'm not sure about the other claims, though, and he may not pass WP:BIO or WP:MUSICBIO. Probably an AfD is the best place to sort everything out.

Bart Rossi
I tried to tone down the promotional tone of Bart Rossi. Can you point out particular phrases that you're uncomfortable with, that make you feel it is still spammy? I realize that the overall notability of this subject is doubtful, and I suspect the original article was posted in an attempt at promotion, but the man does make his voice heard, so I was loathe to move to deletion outright. Since I was the one who tried to clean it up, I'd like to know your thoughts on what I missed in terms of its promotional tone. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:59, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The entire thing reads like an ad to me, and the version I saw was after you cleaned it up. A local personality of questionable notability, created by a WP:SPA with no other contributions. I did a quick search on the guy - found only one hit on Google News, and it's not an article about him. I suspect that will be the case on almost anything we find on him - it'll be him commenting on some other story, but no significant coverage of him.

Hi mate, quick a quick note to let you know I contested your WP:SPEEDY prod at Alexander Russell (naturalist).

Dear Mike,

In regard to the above-referenced (links) article which I have placed in Wikipedia recently has been deleted with the reason explained in the link by Wikipedia as copyright infringement caused by pasting.

The pasted section in the article is the short description of the book titled The King of Dungeon which also appears at the back of the cover/jacket of the book. The copyright of the whole pasted text is owned by Mrs. Selma Elanora Grayen, who is the author of the book. www.pandora.com.tr has been given the permission by Mrs. Grayen to display the text in question in their web page that presents the book for online sale. I have the full permission from Mrs. Grayen to use any text material copyrighted/owned by her to use in any informative or introductory articles related to the book.

The only pure reason for this regretful complication ensued is that it was practically easier, for the sake of time saving, to do the paste in question at the time of the preparation of the article for Wikipedia than to to take it out of the exclusive text file which I have.

I would be grateful if you assist me for the rectification of this matter. Thank you.

Hello - received message in regards to Vassal Gradington Benford III page
Hello Mike,

I received a message and I want to admit that I am a newbie to wikipedia in more ways than one however I wanted to make sure that the Vassal page was up and running. I am a fan of Vassal's work, especially through the 90's, and I am in the Entertainment biz as I develop and pitch TV show concepts. I know of Vassal's work through a few producers that I deal with and I decided to create a page when I realized his other page had been removed for copyright issues. I deal with many top producers and Vassal's credits, I thought, should at least allow him a page.

If I have not sourced an article or cited an article correctly per any type of Wiki convention please let me know. I would definitely like to see a Vassal page up and running successfully. Like I said, I am around a few of his peers and I'm pretty sure he would like a page up since he has produced on a handful of albums.

Interstingly, I am enjoying the time I am taking on Vassal's page and I am looking forward to contributing my 2 cents a bit more. Researching can be addictive but if sifting through the web is my addiction, I'm proud of it.

Thank you as well for your part in making Wikipedia an educational platform that more people, like myself, are beginning to contribute to.

Best,

Shindig (video chat platform) - not coming up when searched
Mike -

FYI:

1. When I use plug the term "shindig" in the search box on wikipedia.org, I see a number of shindig-related choices, but my page - "Shindig (video chat platform)" - doesn't come up.

2. When I search "Shindig wiki" on Google, the page doesn't come up (although other Shindig wiki pages come up).

3. When I search "Shindig video chat" on Google, the URL for "Shindig Events" comes up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shindig_Events) but not for "Shindig (video chat platform)".

Any thoughts on how the above can be corrected?

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Classic bugsbunny.png


Hello. A tag has been placed on File:Classic bugsbunny.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:TorchwoodMD poster.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:TorchwoodMD poster.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
