Lawjobs.com deletion
Can you clarify how this wiki page qualifies as spam and not careerbuilder, or hotjobs.com, or any other online job search engine website? I used these websites as templates for this submission. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewcurrier (talk • contribs) 21:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

U Direct Deletion
Article is a posting for a legitimate production company, it has been incorrectly marked as "blantant advertising" due to an early stub. Had to repost to due unwarranted deletion. Please do not delete again.--Adamlancegarcia (talk) 20:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

How Television Works
You meant content fork, I assume. I think strangling the entire article at birth is a little harsh; it's impossible for others to edit or discuss the content if they can't find it. I've reinstated it, with a merge-multiple tag and a discussion starter on Talk:Technology of television. Can you let others read it and have a say before deleting it again, please?

speedy deletion
it wasn't an archive or a test, it was merely a place to get the discussion out of the way of the general forum, because it was becoming far too long. speedy deletion(talk) 08:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Cab spam
I got a problem for "speedy deletion"... In fact, My first level title was wrong and i was not able to change it, so i deleted the page and recreated it... Then i got your message....

Is'it possible to do something please ? -- User:ludovic19
 * Yes. What you should do is go away and stop trying to advertise - see WP:SPAM. When your company becomes notable in the English-speaking world, someone will write the article for you. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand... This was a description article of the company which has got subsidiaries in all the world, and not an advertising. (I tried to do the same as Intermec, is this article an advertising? Because i tried to do the same thing) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludovic19 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You did not do the same as Intermec! How many times does the Intermec article have the word "our"! It also has a link to the company's website that works. It does not matter to me how notable the company is, you clearly have a COI so you should keep away. Sorry. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok you are right, i assume the fact that i did not take the time to read completely the wikipedia policy and goals...

Can i rewrite the article without using " advertising " language but only with a neutral language like the Intermec article ? sry again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludovic19 (talk • contribs)

Thank you!
For moving my user subpage to the proper title. I didn't realize that typo had happened till after you moved it. Thanks! Wilhelmina Will (talk) 04:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad you noticed. Now I won't need to leave you a message. I was just about to caution you about the title when someone tagged the article as an attack page. I saw the title, thought it might be attack but actually went to the trouble of reading it. But to be on the safe side, I have move it to User:Wilhelmina Will/CharAss - CharAss stands for character assassinations. I have had User:RHaworth/CharAss for ages so no-one should object to yours. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:ATP covers this quite well... From that page, and I quote, "a "list of enemies" or "list of everything bad that some user ever did" is not constructive or appropriate. " If you feel this is an appropriate page, I will not wheel-war over this, but clearly, regardless of the name, one should not mainatain such lists for any good reason... --Jayron32. talk . contribs  04:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not think it is an attack page. The wording is far milder than than the many newbie-biting things that I have written! -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:30, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with Jayron32. I'm sorry I jumped into it, but with a title like that it's ripe for miscommunication and I don't think any editor should be held accountable if they misinterpret the reason for having such a list, myself included.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 04:32, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, there still appears to be enough of a disagreement on this that I have started an WP:ANI thread on it. Clearly, there needs to be a wider input on the issue, and I am willing to abide by whatever consensus holds on the issue... --Jayron32. talk . contribs 04:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

deletion of paypay article
I need a reasonable explanation why was my article deleted. I've conscientiously prepared and described paypay article as another payment system and in accordance with moneybookers article to avoid advertising. There is absolutely no difference in contents between moneybookers and paypay article since the text is strong similar. If you deleted paypay article you have to also delete moneybookers article that's pure advertising too!!! Please be so kind and explain me the difference. Thank you --AndreYoung (talk) 17:44, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You are an SPA. I take the firm view that SPA automatically makes you a spammer. The article was also spam because you had provided no independent references to the notability of the company. Moneybookers does appear to have some notability. But it is no use talking to me. I have made the pig-headed decision that you are a spammer. You now need to go to DRV to find others willing to reverse my decision. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Web jockey, etc.
I recently added a piece to the Web Jockey article expressing the company that trade marked the term Web Jockey. I do not know why it was deleted. Is that not important info? I gathered the info from a recent press pack. I feel the info is highly relevant. Anyhow just wondering. Thanks.

I also added the term 'social utility' that was linking to a unrelated term and it was promptly deleted. Both terms were branched from a bandFIND.com article I wrote based on a highly engaging press pack and an in depth review of their site. Honestly the other articles (bandfind.com, web jockey, and chris purifoy) are only important to me b/c of the extensive amount of time I spent working on them. But the social utility article is close to my heart. I had planned on expanding it as I began to research references. I only began the article due to it's relation to the article I was writing. I am a Web 2.0 analyst and I have heard this term bounce around for some time. I had not ever heard the origin of the term until I came across the press pack. I am one of the analysts that fully agree that it is the future of an entire industry... I could understand marking it as disputed due to my lack of references.. But to delete it entirely feels a little harsh considering the impact it could make. Anyhow, I guess I would just like a fair review of these items. I am confident that a fair review will judge in my favor. Thanks for what you do. I am an advocate of the wiki cause.

Ciao.

p.s. This was my first stab at wikipedia, though I am a LONG time reader. I spent several hours on it and found myself very engaged and excited to become a contributor. The more I wrote and began to learn about the process the more I enjoyed it... I have to admit though. In light of the deletion and "about to delete" status of ALL my articles I do have a tainted impression. It sucks to work for several hours and find it waisted. I hope it's just a bad first impression. :) Have a great weekend!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jedidiah757 (talk • contribs) 08:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

In addition. I tried to refrence the bandfind article the best I could. I do not know how to cite press packs and press releases. I will try to find them online. They are not listed on their press page. I received them in a mail out. Btw... I just finished the funniest episode of family guy ever... haha  I've been geeking out to family guy on my dvr for hours...  sorry  to much info. Later! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jedidiah757 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I have a suspicion that you wrote the press pack in the first place! Chris Purifoy is currently deletable as empty. Bandfind.com is deletable as non-notable. You addition to web jockey may be re-instated if you provide a reference to their trade marking of the term - and citing the press-pack will not do! Your usage of social utility reads like a neologism but feel free to create a disambiguation page and write an article about your usage of the term. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 08:59, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * ) You are a smart person.  I had to look up a few of your words. (disambiguation and neologism). Thank God for Wikipedia! ha!

As far as the deletions...Hey man do what you gotta do. I don't even know how to find that kind of info on the trade mark. My only reference is the press pack. It's no big deal. I just hate wasting my time. I'm a creative artist manager on the side, and a Web 2.0 columnist as my full time job. I was just intrigued by their stuff. You should give it a look. It's pretty impressive. I see them becoming a major player and really changing things both in the music industry and the web 2.0 industry. I have to admit.. Their corporate pages are terrible. Hopefully they will redo those before their grand opening. But, once you get inside the site... Its hot. Anyhow I just got overly excited and figured I'd do them a favor and write a good wiki article. I have to admit I was kinda hoping it would help them grow. At least I learned how wiki works. NO PRESS PACKS! :) I see several articles about wiki technology in my column in the future.

Thanks for your review. I appreciate what you do.

P.s I read some of your previous posts. I think you may be over worked. "Yes. What you should do is go away and stop trying to advertise - see WP:SPAM.

Christian Guild Holidays
THIS WAS NOT BLATENT ADVERTISING I am independent of the hotel company, and it took me one and a half hours to make that article. I am absolutely SICK of so called 'administrators' deleting perfectly good content. I wish i was sorry for venting my anger on you, but it is perfectly justified. This article was not persuasive, nor was it advertising in anyway. I am asking you now to put the article back on line- this is not funny. If you want wikipedia to grow, you need to advise, not just delete.

Please put the article back, and i will make it less of an advert. If you have any suggestions on how to make it better, please contact me ASAP via my talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robincross224 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Merging histories
Thank you for your help with the "histmerge" for Goose Village, Montreal. Is that something I could have done myself? I think I've got the hang of redirecting article and Talk pages, but didn't realize I could or should merge the histories. I didn't find anything on this as WP:REDIRECT, though perhaps I missed it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:25, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I gather the info I need is at WP:MOVE? Though I'm still not clear on it.... Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:30, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Correct, you should have used a move. It ain't difficult - just click the "move" tab! But no action needed for Goose Village, I have fixed it. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 05:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry
I made a mistake after going over a LONG backlog of un-patrolled new pages and I wanted to get back to the backlog. I am quite familiar with WP:MOS, I figured just someone with a little more time would catch my mistake and quickly fix it. I don't think what I did was "horrible," just lazy, and I'm sorry for doing it. Thank you for catching my faux pas.--Nkrosse (talk) 18:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The word "horrible" referred to the appearance of the finished edits, not the act of doing those edits! A subtle difference. Glad you have not taken it too much amiss. Keep up the patrolling, we need you. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Ask A Chola
Can you please tell me why you deleted the "ask a chola" article I wrote? I was working with an admin person to get it up to par with your standards. There were references to back up the entry, including the chola entry in IMDB and in American and Mexican periodicals. I am new to Wikipedia, so I appreciate your patience. If you could please let me know where to find the last version of the article so I can work on it that would be great. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CholaLife (talk • contribs) 21:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You can have you text free of charge. The first thing you to do is to make the refs and external links work! Your user name indicates a blatant COI which means that I will probably rate it spam again if you submit it to DRV. And in any case appearance on a public-access cable channel does not sound notable to me. But by all means follow Torchwood's suggestion and create User:CholaLife/cholatest. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry to sound rude, but I was trying to figure out a few things, like how to create an article, and how to move one article to point to another. While I appreciate your help, I wasn't ready to set the OCTFCU article to point to the SchoolsFirst article. The Credit Union hasn't changed the name yet, and won't for a few weeks still. Thanks. ZooCrewMan (talk) 06:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC) Sorry to have offended you by not following Wikipedia Regulation whatever it is. I'm trying to figure out how to create articles, move them, redirect them, whatever you want to call it. The fact remains that I was trying to do something, you came along, and interrupted what I was doing. All I ask is that if I, or some other person (especially newer and unexperienced people) is trying to do something, you not muck it up right in the middle of what we're doing. Thanks. ZooCrewMan (talk) 07:04, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Home Stored Product Entomology
Before the article is moved, it must be understood that I have given valid reasons for it to be under the more specific title of "Home Stored Product Entomology". Stored product entomology covers much more than simply 5 insects- it encompasses all stored product pests. It is misleading to place the title under Stored Product Entomology, since users who actually have prior knowledge of the subject will be disappointed to find that the article only covers five major stored product pests found in the home. Thanks. Csb14 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 14:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Dr Barbara Moore
I see you have moved this article to Barbara Moore (walker), although Barbara Moore (vegetarian) might be as appropriate. The reason why I named the article Dr Barbara Moore is that that is the name by which she was always referred to (trust me, I am old enough to remember!), that is the name she is called in the references, and that is the name she is called in the WP articles which mention her. Hence I believe that the original name better complies with WP:NC. Mhockey (talk) 17:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC) Actually I did read WP:NCNT before naming, and I read it the other way. I did not see any "must" there. I read: "Most general rule overall: use the most common form of the name used in English if none of the rules below cover a specific problem." I did the article because I looked for "Dr Barbara Moore" and could not find an article on her. Also, I was puzzled by your edit to Land's End to John o' Groats. Surely if there is a redirect from Dr Barbara Moore, you don't need a pipe? Just curious, I'm fairly new to all this. Thanks. Mhockey (talk) 18:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Trust me, I am old enough to remember too. Naming conventions (names and titles) says we must drop the "Dr" but if you prefer (veggie), then tou can have it. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:07, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To be honest, given that we needed to disambiguate this one from other Barbara Moores, putting "Dr" in front was really good enough but some real wikipedant might come along and object. Having moved the article to the veggie version, we had double redirects which always need to be fixed. The move message claims there is a bot that fixes double redirects but it is always better to fix them oneself. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I have changed the redirect page to save the bot the trouble.  I think WP:NCNT could do with more guidance on stuff other than royalty - I'll put something on its Talk page to suggest it. Mhockey (talk) 20:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Self-replicating machine unprotection
It seems like Mr. Collins has settled down lately, and it's been over two weeks since you semi-protected the page. Do you think it would be wise to unprotect Self-replicating machine now or some time soon? -FrankTobia (talk) 03:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Settled down? Have you seen this rant just three days ago? Why unprotect? It is only semi-protected, so anybody who matters can still edit it! I have switched to the smaller icon. Given that Mr. Collins has been around here for two years, I would suggest waiting two years with no hint of Mr Collins' presence before unprotecting. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 03:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Uncapping passion
I'm quite new to wikipedia content adding or editing but why do you keep uncaping acronym?

If you provide me a real rule, maybe I'll follow it. But actually I can't find twice the same one.

For example I found that :

If you are going to acronym it, then capitalize it to indicate which letters form the acronym. If not, don't, unless it is a proper noun, which would be capitalized regardless.

E.g. "Your computer starts up from Read-Only Memory (ROM). The ROM contains diagnostics and instructions and for reading a bootstrap program from disk."

But "Your computer starts up from read-only memory, which contains diagnostics and instructions for reading a bootstrap program from disk."

What tell me this is not the good one? -- Bastien.guillaume (talk) 15:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Where did you find this conflicting advice? Please provide links. And feel free to update the Manual of Style (MoS). In the case of your example, I am quite clear in my mind. It should be "Your computer starts up from read-only memory (ROM), which contains diagnostics and instructions for reading a bootstrap program from disk." Read-only memory is not a proper name or trade name so we do not capitalise it. The acronym ROM is capitalised by tradition. (Sometimes actually I do capitalise stuff - eg. I think Railway time should have a capital 'T' - same like GMT, CET, etc.) -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Gibson Tom DeLonge Signature ES-335
Hi. This may or may not be a good article, but you should not make speedy deletion requests for articles that you know don't qualify. If he should have put in the word "guitar", then put in the word "guitar", and help him understand his mistake. Unless there is some history I'm missing here, he seems to be a well-meaning newbie. Your chosen alternative, to try to punish him by creating excess drama and adding to admin backlogs unnecessarily, is inappropriate. William Pietri (talk) 06:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Transwiki
Hello. Last April, you tagged the Slogans of May 68 article as a candidate to be copied to Wikiquote. In the last 24 hours, an anonymous user decided to be bold and simply create a Wikiquote page with the same content. Since the article never went through the transwiki process, what should be done with it? Should I just blank it and turn it into a redirect? Or, is there some other process? Having never dealt with this issue, I felt I should get some guidance. Cheers! --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive'  16:30, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I have added new sources to the article and have addressed editors concerns regarding apparent, albeit entirely unintentional advertisement.

 * "There wouldn't be so much talk about it in blogs if the term did not exist [on Wikipedia]." What an admission! Do not use Wikipedia to promote your own website and ideas.

Hi! I notice you have just moved Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging to Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (movie) in order to create a disambiguation page. However the WP film naming conventions say that it ought to be at Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging (film) instead - but as that page is a redirect and you've now edited it, the article can't be moved onto it. As you're an administrator, could you please perform this move for me? -- KittyRainbow (talk) 18:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Gerard McMahon sub page
Hi!

Ok I will admit to being a bit of a newbie to all this, but nevertheless I am a person who likes to get things right.

As such I was therefore a bit concerned about a message that suddenly started to appear at the top of a page I created Gerard McMahon telling me the page was 30 kbs long. Believing this to be warning me of an error I had made, I thought I should try to resolve this 'error' by doing something to make the page smaller. However, I didn't want to resolve this 'problem' by creating seperate articles, since all the info needs to be kept together on this page. So I read up on large articles and somewhere in amongst these it suggested to resolve large pages by 'transclusion'. After which I created a sub page Gerard McMahon/Song List (Film and TV), selected the entire contents of a large involved section I had created on the original article page - a table - and copied this to my new sub page.

Ok I panicked and therefore now realise I did this a tad prematurely (since I had not actually finished compiling the table - lol), but my intentions were such that when I had finished compiling the table on the main article's page, copy it over to the sub page, delete the table on the main article's page and then 'transclude' this sub page, like a template, i.e. by just entering the code. Thereby resolving this too big 'problem' before anyone came along waving a big stick at me (lol).

However, today I have today noticed a number of things. Firstly, that you have spotted my prematurely created 'orphan' page before I had a chance to finish dealing with this (sorry..I really was very tired by this point and had to go to bed) and that you have also endeavoured to help me correct my errors (thank you). The only problem is that the section I tried to create the sub page for is simply part of the main Gerard McMahon article. It was never my intention to create a seperate article for this, as it appears by the way you have thought to correct my errors you may have thought was my intention. Indeed without asking the author of the orphaned sub page what their intentions were in creating this, I would probably have assumed likewise.

I also had a minor problem in so far as sub pages usually have the main articles page name appearing on the top left hand side of page (in very small writing) and I happened to notice that the sub page I created did not have this (???) but the main problem is the redirect, since like I say, the section I created the sub page for is simply part of the main Gerard McMahon article and needs to remain on that page. As such I'm hoping you will give me some advice and also assist me further in resolving this. In fact if it hadn't been for the "This page is 30 kbs long" message, I would not ever have considered attempting any of this, for I was more than happy with the page as it was. Obviously if this isn't really an error message, then the sub page I created and the page that you created can simply be deleted. However if it is an error message, I would be very interested to learn how others overcome it and why it doesn't appear on extremely large pages such as The Rolling Stones, pages with lots of graphics and which contain a hell of a lot more info than the page I created on Gerard McMahon.

I hope all this makes sense to you. -- 16:46, 2 April 2008 (UTC)  <<<< (a fellow Brit..lol)
 * Whaddya mean "fellow Essex|Brit". I scorn Essex (lol)! Do we have a policy on transcluded sub-pages? They are fairly rare things - but a good idea. Sorry if I caught the article in mid-edit. I don't really mind what you do - you clearly will tidy up after yourself. One suggestion though: a more explicit edit summary might have prevented my meddling and certainly a string of "updated page"s are not as informative as they could be. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Phew! After reading some of the posts on your page (many of which amused me greatly) I really thought you might wave a big stick at me...especially in view of the amount of room my post took up on your page ;-) No seriously cheers. I am grateful to you. And yes, I will endeavour in the future to detail more 'explicitly' (good word that..hee hee) any changes that I make. I agree, "updating page" is a bit of a cop out. I do like to get things right, just sometimes it's hard to locate the right info, or the info appears (certainly to the uninitiated like me) to contradict what is written elsewhere, leaving it as a matter of interpretation.
 * Today however you may be relieved to know that I have decided that my "Problem of the Day" should not be trying to annoy hard working admins by trying to create sub pages for articles that are not overly large (yes, I have since read that I should not have panicked at the 30 kbs message), but to try to establish exactly what I need to 'reference' (i.e. only contentious issues, not things that can readily be established..??). I certainly understand the need to 'source' and totally agree that it is a responsibility required of us all, that's not the problem. My problem is the complete opposite in fact, for as you can see from the 3xcolumn list of references at the bottom of the Gerard McMahon page (lol), I seem to be sourcing way tooooo much!
 * Well I guess I can't expect to become a brilliant Wikipedian all in one night, so I guess I'll just keep plugging away for now. Thanks once again 22:15, 2 April 2008 (UTC) <<< a Brit who is known to like a glass or two of lemonade...

Telegaita
Hello RHaworth. Telegaita was created by now banned user User talk:Obardo, a Galician nationalist vandal. Telegaita, in Galician language, means TeleSHIT, or TeleCOCK. I was an attack page.

Space Shuttle Challenger Edit
RHaworth. I did not vandalise the article. I put a link into the Auburn Senior High School's Notable Alumni section. When i clicked the link it showed that their was no article so i copied from where the article was available so the link could be followed. try the link aon auburn senior high school's page and just type in the search box space shuttle challenger. This was not an attempt at vandalism i just could not see what i was doing wrong. Bgrddg253 (User talk:Bgrddg253) 20:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Wow... i feel dumb. thank you.

MATRIC
The problem is there are more than one organization that call themselves MATRIC, as shown on the dab page Matric. As the neighbors, friends, customers and employees of MATRIC (Mid-Atlantic Technology, Research and Innovation Center) refer to the organization as MATRIC, why shouldn't the WP article do the same? BTW, I've change the redirct MATRIC to the point to the dab page. WVhybrid (talk) 22:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Free dating websites
I would like you to further explain why you thought that OkCupid and PlentyofFish were the only two free dating sites worth mentioning. When a wrote the article, I listed four, and when you edited the article, you left two.

Perhaps Wikipedia isn't about knowledge for the masses, I thought it was. What you are doing is similar to the ethics of Microsoft and now Google, you only let the viewers and users of your site see what you want them to see, nothing more.

I am fully willing to retract my statement if you can send me an explanation as to why both lovedango and justsayhi was deleted from the list of sites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lovedango (talk • contribs) 21:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Love Systems, (cont)
Thanks for your comment on my talk page. I have no idea how to prove I am not someone else. Someone posted on The Attraction Forums that there was a new wikipedia page for Savoy and another for Love Systems. As a former customer, I know both well and I came and I saw a pretty crappy page. (Presumably you can look that up). So I brewed a post of coffee, sat down, and took a morning to do it properly. I felt good about myself. I contributed. And then I got told I was working for various companies, I was the same person as several other individuals who write like they are 8 years old, people told me my page was a walled garden and wouldn't respond when I showed them how it wasn't, people told me my account was a single purpose account and didn't respond when I showed them it wasn't, etc. I dunno...I'm trying to lower temperatures here, but it's a bit annoying to get accused of something with no evidence based on someone's hunch and then have you account tagged with that. I'm not accusing you of anything (this is an illustrative example) but how would YOU prove that you're not associated with any competitors to Love Systems? How would YOU prove that other people voting to delete aren't you? If there's a way to prove this stuff and it's not overly burdensome or trusting a stranger who seems to have it in for me with personal infor like social security data, I'm game. Anyway, I'm not the only one who posted about those pages. I didn't start them. I edited and improved them. And then I stuck aroudn to defend my work.

So...moving forward....I saw that the Savoy page was approved and the Love Systems page wasn't. And my best guess would be you're going to come down on the next person who tries to put up a Love Systems page like a ton of bricks. So rather than go through this again, why don't we work collaboratively? This is a genuine and open effort to work with you...if you don't want to, no need to rip me a new one, just ignore I guess.

Here's something that might help.

1) What third party sources would you think would qualify as establishing notability?


 * Savoy and Love Systems is the focus on the April 11th episode of Dr Phil show. (http://www.drphil.com/shows)
 * National CBS radio interview
 * Fox news broadcast
 * Keys to the VIP episode (and wikipedia page)
 * Chow magazine
 * Brink magazine
 * Other local radio & TV & print

2) Was the issue that the sources before weren't notable (I realize the Dr Phil show was a new one; I hadn't found that at the time) or that most were referenced from the Love Systems' site? If the latter, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do...sometimes Love Systems links to the original article and sometimes it's just .jpgs or videos that they host from 3rd party outlets...I'm not aware of searchable databases to for example, link to a audio of a national CBS radio broadcast.  I'm not being sarcastic here; I am genuinely trying to understand the delete comments based on the fact that many links are on the LS site.

Best regards,

Hi again. I thought you were again with the Savoy page? Now I see it's deleted as well. What's up?

Re, Love Systems - I take it you declined my request to help do this properly in a way that wouldn't offfend you, which is fine...is there someone else you respect you could refer me whose judgment you trust? Camera123456 (talk) 20:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

reply
At last - we get a clue: "someone posted on The Attraction Forums". Now why did you not say that a week ago when I accused you of sock-puppetry? It might have reduced the antagonism towards you. But you might have the decency to give us a link to the relevant thread on the Attraction Forums: Wikipedians might want to go and contribute there!

Once again, I remind you that you said : "I have no affiliation with the company and can prove it". You have changed your mind and now say: "I have no idea how to prove I am not someone else". Fine. There is no need to go on about it.

It is no use denying that you are a single-purpose account - a glance at your contributions screams "SPA". (OK you have made two or three edits to unrelated articles.)

I have gone carefully through Articles for deletion/Love Systems. The "voting" is perfectly clear: three established Wikipedians have said "delete", four people (I will withdraw the sock-puppetry suggestion) said "keep" but a glance at their contribution histories told us that they had all signed up purely to endorse Love Systems and Nick Savoy. The AfD decision is a clear mandate for any admin to speedily delete the article if it re-appears.

It is too late to present extra evidence about Love Systems - the AfD discussion was open for six days and nobody touched the article during that period.

I was surprised to see Nick Savoy deleted - Philippe who closed Articles for deletion/Savoy, Nick is not the same person as the one who closed the AfD for Love Systems. Philippe initially said "no consensus" but fourteen hours later changed his mind and said "delete".

You may care to ask Philippe why he changed his mind but you may have more joy talking to WoodenBuddha who has been contributing for some time. I would be interested to hear why he "voted" to keep Nick Savoy but abstained from commenting on the AfD for Love Systems. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

reply to your reply
Thank you for withdrawing the sock puppetry allegation in your response. Will I be able to expect that this will take practical form as you withraw it from my user page as well?

To the rest of your points:

1) I CAN prove who *I* am (as long as I have protection against identity theft, etc.). Will that change anything?  If so, what?

2) I CAN probably dig around and find the TAF post. Will that change anything?  if so, what?

3) I CAN ask WoodenBuddha for his reasons, would that change anything? If so, what?

4) As for the page topics, if someone puts up a page and doesn't have all of the evidence immediately at hand, does that mean that when future evidence is discovered that the page can never be introduced?  If (hypothetically, since there already is a page on it) I wrote a page on World War II and an admin didn't like it, does that mean World War II could never have an entry in the future?

I have repeatedly expressed my desire to work with you in a non-confrontational and non-abusive way. I will be happy to do all of the above if this is part of a genuine path to us figuring out where to go from here.

Camera123456 (talk) 21:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

RWH on April 11
1) I would be mildly interested to know who you are. I will keep the info. completely confidential. It will not change anything. (Protecting yourself against identity theft is up to you!)

2) "Dig around to find the TAF post". Is the site so vast and badly organised? If you provide a link and if I find user names there matching the "visitors" who voted here, then I will gladly remove the tags from your user page. (But what is stopping you removing the tags? The page is not protected.)

3) Have you looked at special:contributions/WoodenBuddha and his user page? You asked "is there someone else". I would not say that I respect him nor would I necessarily trust his judgment. But do you think he is more likely than me to help you?

4) If a topic is going to be notable enough for Wikipedia, the chances are that evidence of notability will be readily to hand. Having to scratch around to find evidence implies non-notability. If it acquires notability later, that is a different matter - but we would be looking for months delay anyway, not days.

"My desire to work with you". Good heavens! What on earth do you want me to do? Surely it would be better to find someone who might show a shread of sympathy?

I have just seen your pleas to multiple people about me. I would say that if anything, it is you who are stalking me. Please stop. I created user:Bixolon on April 6. Is there anything I have done or said since then that you object to. All I have been doing is responding to you. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 07:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Response
You asked what I object to. I object to the fact that you haven't removed the sock puppet allegations from various parts of wikipedia about me even though you said you withdrew the allegations here. What's the problem? Do that and I'll stop coming here.

You want me to "stop" what exactly? Me trying to clear my name? Me trying to get someone to moderate this dispute so you'll leave me alone? Why don't you just stop accusing me without evidence? Why don't you man up and withdraw your allegations where you made them. This is the equivalent of a front-page allegation in a newspaper followed by a withdrawl of the statements in a tiny classified ad.

Camera123456 (talk) 21:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you actually enjoy being confrontational. After I had said "I will withdraw the sock-puppetry suggestion", it would have taken you a few minutes to go round and remove the sockpuppet tags. Frankly I am getting tired of your hectoring tone and your canvassing other editors. If you cannot be bothered to "man up" and point me to this alleged posting on The Attraction Forums, then I cannot be bothered to remove the tags. However, if you remove them yourself, I guarantee not to put them back. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 07:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, you could have started even earlier. The moment the tags appeared you should have followed the be bold policy, removed all the tags and left a note here, with a link to The Attraction Forums (vital) and explaining the reason for the apparent sock-puppetry. I would probably have accepted your explanation. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 08:35, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I think looking at the history of our conversation on the deleted pages would give you some perspective on who enjoys being confrontational. You know as well as I do that there is a big difference between 1) an admin noting someone for violating the rules and the accused person deleting the allegation (when it will always be there in the history) and 2) the same admin withdrawing the accusation.


 * I am also still not sure why I am guilty until proven innocent. And yes, I will continue to talk to other editors about you for as long as you persist in this.  You've obviously made a big contribution to wikipedia, but that shouldn't give you the right to abuse your power.  And while you endlessly quote different policies at me, how about "assume good intent" for you?

Remember to check for double redirects
When moving pages, please remember to fix any double redirects. These can create slow, unpleasant experiences for the reader, waste server resources, and make the navigational structure of the site confusing. Dgf32 (talk) 21:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry but:
 * I am sure I checked - the only double redirects that I left were from dead-end redirect pages which are not as important
 * the move confirmation page claims that there is a bot that fixes double redirects
 * in fact is not the wiki standard that the article should be on Celine Borzęcka? (Sorry, I only noticed that late on in the edits.)
 * are you sure you have enough redirects?

Hi Rob - I can't understand why you just deleted the WikiJob profile. This was deleted and I spent over an hour checking wikipedia style guidelines and checking my references and facts - I put it up and you deleted it and barred anyone from putting anything back up!
