Ah ok, good job. Andrevan@ 17:11, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Question about AfD and good behaviour...
How long does the AfD stay open - when does it get closed? And is it better to withdraw a nomination if you still think it probably isn't notable but opinion seems to be going to other way or even if it is beginning to sway you (obviously not if you are 100% certain ..but when unsure..) What is good AfD etiquette? Figured I'd ask and you seem a reasonable sort..--  &#127866;  Antiqueight  confer 19:58, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * In theory, seven days. If there's a real snowfall, it can be sooner - more likely for Keep than Delete. Known as Speedy Keep. Conversely, if some horrid person like me comes along and sees a speedy tag as well as the AfD, there mightn't be an article to discuss on the first day... AfDs can be relisted, usually because there's no-one voting, or because it's too close to call (but a no consensus looks undesirable). No, if you really think something's not notable, stick to your guns (and check for SPAs and socks...), but if Colonel Warden or Uncle G turn up throwing refs around, back down gracefully. You won't beat them. If unsure, it's best to say so at the start. I do that, or word the nom very neutrally. If you do change your mind (and don't be afraid to), be honest. It gains more respect than flogging an obviously dying horse. This isn't WP policy. This is Peridon's opinion. I once voted delete, keep and possibly even neutral in one AfD (obviously not at the same time). That was because fresh evidence turned up, and almost all the deletes turned into keeps, and the keeps became rapid deletes. That was fun. I'll try and find the link if you like. Peridon (talk) 20:51, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks - couldn't remember how long pages were (theoretically) in discussion for. Will check various ones tomorrow and see where they are/where I am... Thanks (and sure- if you come across the link that would be cool but don't worry about it if not.)   &#127866;  Antiqueight  confer 23:41, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

unblock user name
Hi peridon,

I have registered with a user name zitima with an intention to add some genuine content, but before I could I had issues logging as my account was blocked for some reason.. I was not aware of this trying forgot password and what ever possible but finally today I could find that it was blocked. By you.. I did not even add any article to the site yet and was not involved in any such violation of the terms.. Can you please look in this and let me know there is anything I missed so that I can correct the same and get my account activated. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.15.60.246 (talk) 00:06, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You added an advertisement in your sandbox, which is a part of the site. Even user pages are visited by our patrollers who check them for things like copyright violation, attack pages and advertising. There were two problems with your sandbox entry (apart from the formatting...). One was that it only linked to a commercial site selling various services, and the other was that it was written as an essay not an article. Wikipedia does not have articles saying what the author of the article thinks, or about what people 'should' do. We already have articles about mobile phones and tablets. Your username appears to represent the Zitima company, and is not allowed under our policy on user names. Having done a Google search, I can't find any sign of notability for the company. You are welcome to read WP:WEB about notability for web content, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability, and to let me know if you do find anything.

I was not aware of a problem: as far as I can see he has not edited since 2008; if this is in reality some other genuine editor getting blocked then this is a problem for the stewards or the programmers, is it not? Certainly it's well beyond my competence. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:57, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * He/she's edited in September, June and steadily if not regularly. This is their first edit on their talk page. No-one seems to talk to them much - only the welcomer. No block on the account or in the past. It seems to be something to do with the new servers dealing with Australasia/the Pacific area (or something like that). These notices are appearing at random. I've put a message instead of the notice. At least one other blockee has removed their own notice as they were able to edit again. Peridon (talk) 18:11, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Info
I'm afraid that the user METAL ROY STONE has made more promotional material by uploading photos about the band and something else that the user has. There is now a about it, if you would like to be in control of that, please do handle it.  Blurred   Lines  19:46, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Posted there. And adding a warning to the templated one I've given. Peridon (talk) 19:52, 10 November 2013 (UTC).

I have just spent 2 days working on my page METALROYSTONE & you have deleted it... why do you keep doing that .. I have done the page because the BBC have informed me that thay take all there photos from wikipedia & you are wasting my time, I cannot fathom what you find to be offensive, I am a musician how can I write about myself without it appearing to be promotional unless I say " I cant sing or play, none of the equipment works & show a picture of myself with a flat cap & a whippet !! 2 days I wasted on that page, please don't take this as offensive I am just trying to make a point ... Regards Roy — Preceding unsigned comment added by METAL ROY STONE (talk • contribs) 20:01, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * It appears that the user has re-created its user page with the same promotional stuff.  Blurred   Lines   20:20, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * For a start, we do not advise writing about yourself - see WP:AUTOBIO. Then again, what you posted was pure advertising, which is what I have warned you about on your talk page. If you can show that you pass WP:BAND (and prove it with reliable independent sources WP:RS), then there is reason for an article about you. But it must fit in with WP:SPAM. Advertising and promotion are not allowed on Wikipedia. On Facebook, MySpace and reverbnation, you are in control of what you post (subject to legal restrictions...). Here, as Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, we insist on notability. And that's our definition of notability, not the dictionary definition. and this is why we don't approve of writing about yourself. I would advise you to look closely at other articles, and see how they're written. (And look at WP:PEACOCK...) See if you can find independent reliable sources {that's independent AND reliable). Then talk to me. I'm afraid that all those files will have to go. If they have your watermark on them, that suggests that they have been used already - and that means that they are copyright. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3,0 for reuse by anyone anywhere. Material already published that isn't licensed that way cannot be user here - even if you created it. If you do get an article, you won't need any more pics than there are on Piney Gir. That can all be sorted when you have proof that an article is possible. Let me know if you can find things, and good luck with the career. But do remember that we can't help you with that. We can help you if there's signs that you pass BAND. I know a heck of a lot of musicians who are brilliant, but don't pass. One could even accompany me while I was improvising - keeping in key even when I wasn't certain what key I was in, and finishing with me when I made a last two bars decision... It's not quality, or the Bay City Rollers probably wouldn't be in. (Personal opinion...) It's coverage. Peridon (talk) 20:32, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

I have checked your criterion & would fall into category ...7 Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. It appears I may have to get someone else to write the page ... as I mentioned earlier my only motivation is that the BBC suggested it as there place to retrieve photo's for their site .. being non searchable as the name is not the name I require anyway it has no value to me what so ever, my own web-site does that perfectly adequately, regards Roy Stone — Preceding unsigned comment added by METAL ROY STONE (talk • contribs) 21:37, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Looking at it, I'd say the references (note spelling - e not a) are still not independent of this church, the parent faith, and associated entities. Read the guide mentioned in the decline boxes, or WP:RS for the policy itself. You should get rid of the address, telephone numbers and service times. That looks like an advertisement. But overall, I'm afraid I can't see that the church is notable outside its own congregation. There are thousands of churches in the world that are running successfully but not notably, and they don't get articles. The same goes for businesses and people in general. We don't list everything. I've not declined the article, as you might be able to improve it. I don't do Articles for Creation reviewing as such, but I work in general areas of deletion and I am advising you based on the principles I use there. Peridon (talk) 13:43, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Focus on Energy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Energy efficiency (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

thanks for catching Olson. I undeleted it because there are additional published books, and his latest seems his most important. I apologize for leaving it unfinished, but it happens.

Turn Me On (Turn Me Out)
Hello, Peridon. I see you deleted Turn Me On (Turn Me Out); could you please restore it to&#32;Turn Me Out because it passes WP:MUSICBIO criterion #2, has been covered by Russ Chimes, and apparently 2 Shoes have covered it as well? An article has already been written at Turn Me Out, but I am interested to see if there is anything else there of use.&#32;Thank you.-- Laun  chba  ller  09:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * It's about the 2 Shoes song, and doesn't mention Chimes or Kathy Brown (and is completely unreferenced...). It doesn't say who the song is by, and Kathy Brown's page doesn't mention 2 Shoes covering one of her songs (but the 2 Shoes section does mention her). I note that the 2 Shoes title has the bracketed bit that the Chimes and Brown don't seem to. If restored it would be A9ed again as 2 Shoes have only a section in an X Factor article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_X_Factor_finalists_(UK_series_8)#2_Shoes. I'll userfy it for you at User:Launchballer/Shoes. Peridon (talk) 18:56, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I've merged the content to Turn Me Out. How DYK eligible do you think it is?-- Laun  chba  ller  21:28, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You've probably picked the worst person on Wikipedia to ask. I've never had a single thing to do with DYK, GA or FA. As an article, it's a great improvement on the two previous versions, and avoids A9. You've done a very good job there, IMO. Peridon (talk) 21:35, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
 * To be honest, that would mean that you haven't got any DYK credits; if you put the nomination in, it'd save me a QPQ.-- Laun  chba  ller  22:22, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
