There is a dispute on the neutrality of the article on the talk page.

Articles for deletion/Utah professional sports' frequent use of letter Z in team names
I disagree with your closing the debate because of "no consensus." The proper course of action would have been to relist in order to gain a consensus, since it had not been relisted before.

Deletion of Cuthbert Blanedale Frunk
Hey Rjd, I wanted to drop you a line to protest this deletion. I think the PROD was pretty off; as a fictional character, it's tough to establish any kind of real-world notability outside the books, as you well know. However, WP:OTHERSTUFF aside, targeting that one article out of the slew of Redwall character articles that we have seems a little unnecessary and unfair. Would you consider restoring it, or at least merging it to a different article, like List of Long Patrol hares? If you choose the latter, I'll be happy to help. Thanks.

DELETION OF THE CHUCK LEONARD PAGE
Chuck Leonard was a notable disc jockey because he was the first African American (and if I'm not mistaken the only African Amercian) to work at WABC on the air and the reason for that was because back in the 60s as you probably remember ws the time of the Civil Rights Movement. Chuck Leonard did something what not a lot of people were able to do, he became one of the most popular and most remembered radio Disc Jockey's on the air at WABC and he became known across the country. Also, if I remember correctly, I never saw a notice on the Chuck Leonard page about it being deleted if noone said why Chuck Leonard should be remembered. SO I think the page should be put back up. Thank you

--Chrismaster1 (talk) 19:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Midnight Cabaret
Did you see my comments at Articles for deletion/Midnight Cabaret? I'm thinking of taking this to DRV (or perhaps I don't need to, maybe I can just nominate for deletion again??). My concern is that clearly the solution the original nominator and his supporter were aiming for hasn't actually been achieved. The article is back in the state it was. Further, if this theatre company are notable, then the users writing about it are doing the right thing in putting their article where a redirect used to be (although they should add a hatnote). Yet if they're not notable, allowing the AfD to run its term would establish a consensus to that effect - thereby enabling any further recreation to be speedied, or the redirect to be protected, or whatever other action then becomes necessary. Do you agree? AndyJones (talk) 12:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. AndyJones (talk) 17:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)


 * My initial response was only on the basis that I did not think it was a deletion matter. Also, the only reason that the solution myself and Lugnuts agreed on didn't appear to be implimented is because the apparent single purpose editor insists on reverting it. I look forward to a more binding outcome being formed and I welcome the gathering of consensus to allow this. Regards, WilliamH (talk) 17:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

AI effect
Hello Rjd0060

I have seen that the article about the AI effect was deleted as being not notable enough.

I would be very thankful if you could restore it in order to improve any problems. In this case, I would also be very appreciative if you could place your view on the article on its talk page in order to start a discussion about how to improve it.

Toy
The article on the Album Toy was deleated. I think this article should be brought back as it has important information to David Bowie's career inbetween the albums "...Hours" and "Heathen." I am not the only one who feels this way and I felt that somebody should make a request to bring this page back. There wasn't anything in the article not confirmed by David Bowie or his manegment and the album was fully written, produced, and released in pieces. I'd appreciate if this article were brought back and if not who do I need to talk to, other than yourself, to bring it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.12.182 (talk) 21:54, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Spike O' Neill Page
Hello, you recently deleted and protected this page, citing the reason of 'A7 Nothing noteworthy about person'. Spike is a Pacific Northwest radio personality, with a fairly sizeable listener base. I created the page as a placeholder to be filled in. He had expressed on air an opinion that wikipedia was an unreliable source of information, and I contacted the show with a challenge, proposing that they announce the pages existance to the listeners. The point was to test the speed and accuracy that the page could be created once it was announced. PLEASE undelete and protect this pave ASAP, as continuing this blockage is going to produce negative publicity for wikipedia. If in another week or so there is still no worthwile content, his point will have been validated, and you can delete it again.

Actually, that isnt the point at all. Quite the opposite. There is no encouragement to vandalize the page or wikipedia in general in any way, shape, or form. The point was to prove how quickly a accurate and factual article could be produced, and demonstrate that wikipedia's methodology is solid. Please revert this page's status.

Deletion review for Dark Horizons: Lore
You chose to delete the article for this game that I and a thousand other players participate in because you subjectively claimed it was a "non-notable game without sources" and I wish to counter the deletion.

I take offense to your reasons for deletion, unfortunately by your criteria, almost every "indie" game or game related product or service made that is listed on Wikipedia should be deleted because it is non-notable. As for your "lack of sources" just how many sources do you need? Do you want every link listed where a person can buy this game electronicly and retail? What about all the fan sites? You tube vidoes? etc. I listed a decent amount to begin with which I felt was adiquate, but if you would like more I can go forth and deposit more if you feel that this is enough to qualify it as "sources" to proove it actually exists and that people play it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LoganCDN (talk • contribs) 15:49, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Small question
I can understand why you closed the 3RR request as you did, but I have to wonder: Who's responsibility is it to start a discussion on the talk page, the editor who made the initial bold edit or the editor has said, or is going to say, "No, that's wrong"?

In this case, I've got a bad feeling that if it were me (2nd editor) I would have been the only one posting to the talk. No, that isn't assuming bad faith, I can see that the ball started with an edit that, in that editor's opinion, improved the article. It the sinking feeling that the editor was disinclined to discuss it. And yes, by extension that means it's a dead issue since that version has "won", that image is up and the other is in a likelihood going to be deleted. I could start the conversation, but why would the other editor want to even bother?

I've also run into situations that make me wonder how long an edit has to be in place before it stops being the "bold initial edit". Worst case (not this situation) was a removal of stuff that had been in an article for over a year. The editor removing it took the position that the inclusion, not the removal, was the bold edit that had to be justified. Now I'm second guessing, was the image change or my reversal of it the bold edit that needs to be justified.

 * I'm sorry that read as a request to rehash this specific dispute, but that's the one that has left me very, very confused.
 * Looking at where your decision left it, I'm not sure if I'm even supposed to initiate edits, much less respond to them with out posting to the talk page.
 * That's what I was asking. Where in the generic cycle should I be thinking "Talk page, I'll start the thread"? In general, is it different when I initial a bold edit and when I respond to one? And, regarding the last paragraph above, in general when is an edit an initial bold one instead of a response to one?

Vatican twins
I noticed that you speedily deleted the Vatican twins redirect I created. The term is a synonym for Irish twins. I read the term in "The Antelope Wife" by Louise Erdrich, had no idea what it meant, and spent a considerable amount of time trying to find out the definition. Eventually, a friend of mine found the definition of the term in a book, and I determined to place the information on Wikipedia so that no one would have to go through all that effort to find out the meaning of that term again. Why was it speedily deleted? Neelix (talk) 12:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I was not notified about the deletion suggestion before the PROD expired, so I didn't find out about the deletion until now. I do not see how either of the two guidelines you quoted are applicable in this case.  The article to which Vatican twins redirected was merged into the sibling article, not deleted.  For this reason, it would make sense for Vatican twins to now redirect to the "Irish twins" section of sibling.  As for WP:WINAD, that guideline was written in order to keep unencyclopedic stubs from being created.  If a concept has two different names, either name should direct a user to the appropriate article when it is typed into the search bar.  That is the purpose of redirects.  Would you object if I recreated Vatican twins as a redirect to Sibling? Neelix (talk) 16:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyright images
I had no idea The Citizen or Canwest Global Media contacted Wikipedia to remove the 31 year old images with no commercial value in them. It hard to believe their sole reason is self-centered selfish possessiveness. I believe it is more an attempt at subterfuge which I have also detected on this site in relation to my 1981, 4000 mile hike to Whitehorse, Yukon to draw attention to Revelation 19.11. Having recused myself from editing the article, rightly so, I have been pleading with other editors to correct the obvious gap in the article vis a vis the 1986 trip east to complete the Canada wide mission. Maclean's Magazine provided written permission to use their script in the article but it is orphaned because the reference to it is removed. There has been no speedy action on this either.

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification
Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of apartheid in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 17:36, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I examined the list of articles mentioned above, and it seems that we do include every possible private airport on official lists, including that of other hospitals. I'm not sure whether individual articles on them are a good idea or not--I think that a list usually s enough for all the information available. But it does seem a little problematic to delete a particular individual article from that list because someone has happened to notice it. Not my main interest of course, and probably not your's, but it should get some attention from those who do care. Anyhow,should you tell the user than a prodded article can be restored as a matter of course on request?  DGG (talk) 23:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Easily Embarrassed
Hey, I'm a little new to Wikipedia and it's still a bit overwhelming. I had trouble with my first article's casing (Easily embarrassed) and I probably went wrong about trying to rename it myself, as I had moved content to new article Easily Embarrassed and made redirect from old article Easily embarrassed to Easily Embarrassed. I suppose I should have read more into wiki policy, but there is just so much :) Now I went to the deletion log and altough I don't understand what TW is, I do understand Easily embarrassed was deleted and in follow up I understand you or somebody then proposed deletion for the real article Easily Embarrassed. I just haven't been around to see it and respond within 5 days I suppose and now it is gone :( Are you able to restore this one or something? I'd like to continue on it. Also any pointers to wiki pages I should read are appreciated. Thanks Ayane1985 (talk) 15:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Did you notice that the accuser had already filled in the conclusions? So, if I get this straight.

Evidence:
 * 1) The accuser filled in the conclusions themselves
 * 2) The accuser is a days-old and obviously an SPA account
 * 3) The two accused are years-old and have entirely different editing patterns

Removing evidence of new 3RR violation
Hello Rjd0060, yesterday you mentioned on Administrators' noticeboard/3RR that if the anonymous user with IP address 86.83.155.44 would continue with edit warring it would result in a block. You wrote there:


 * "If the user resumes edit warring, he'll be blocked."

Well, he did continue as several users mentioned on that page. My evidence of a new 3RR violation was removed for 3 times by him By doing so 3 times within 30 minutes this resulted in yet yet another edit war.

Min Chen
Hi. Ok, I know the article was deleted due to a PROD, but since I have no idea who put up the PROD, I will ask here. Compare the murder of Alicia Ross, an incident of similar media coverage in Canada, with a similar outcome (murderer convicted of second-degree), and thus, in theory, have similar notability. "Single incident coverage", how is that different from the Alicia Ross case, other than the fact that the victim in this case was a minor? Also, what specific BLP concerns were raised? Apparently we must get the article right, but a search for "Cecilia Zhang" finds thousands of potential news sources. If an article is not warranted, should there not be a brief mention in a particular related article? Thanks. ~ A H  1 (TCU) 15:07, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

AI effect (2)
Hello

I have asked you around a month ago about the rightfulness of your decision to speedy-delete the article about the AI effect, however, since I did not receive any answer until now, I wanted to notify you once again, in case it got overlooked. You wrote a short explanation in the deletion log, saying that the article lacked a good reference, but I think this could have been fixed easily in this specific case. I couldn't also understand why the article was lacking of notability, when it is a much debated phenomena within the field of A.I. and there were at least five pages on wikipedia that linked directly to the article, such as

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_artificial_intelligence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loebner_prize

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Artificial_intelligence

Thank you and best regards -- Columnist (talk) 13:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

RE2: AI effect
Hello Rjd0060

Thank you for the response. The correct adress of the article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect

It had since been restored and deleted again; Although I do not understand what the reason for restoring/deleting was, I suppose (regarding the comments in the deletion log) that the article page had been redirected to a user page, and that this redirect had been removed again later.

Please contact me if you have any more questions.

best regards -- Columnist (talk) 10:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Can you specify which parts of the article need to be changed in order to perform a restoring? (In my opinion, the article is short enough to meet the criteria for being a stub, but I don't think that it would in any way meet the criteria for a PROD, which would mean that it was an uncontroversial deletion candidate) -- Columnist (talk) 17:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

 * No Dunc, no-one thinks Max and TU were involved and there is friendly dialogue to support that, plus Max made a number of edits which were absolutely fine. As for Jdorney, Blueputtnam. and Valenciano - who knows.  Why did they suddenly start deleting the same item you've been tring to delete for a week?   Why did you not make them aware of the situation as I did with Max?  You've been spotted tag teaming before and it looks as if you're doing it now but that can all be cured if the disruptive edits stop.  I keep repeating my words - play fair and you and I will get along fine on this article.  As I said on your own page; the olive branch is extended.The Thunderer (talk) 00:02, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, just to say, I had no knowledge of controversey on the UDR page, though I suppose I could have predicted it, nor have I had any contact with BigDunc before. i just edited it as I saw it. If my edits are disputed I'll discuss them, but I'm not involved in some sort of conspiracy against the Thunderer, who, likwise, I had no previous knowledge of. Jdorney (talk) 15:42, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I accept you acted in good faith. Please do join in the editing and discussion of the article at User:The Thunderer/Ulster Defence Regiment whilst the main article is under protection.  Your input would be much appreciated.The Thunderer (talk) 15:59, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As above. I've had no contact with BigDunc and such unfounded allegations are not only unproductive, they're also a breach of WP:AGF. I would suggest that even when the article is unprotected you would discuss controversial additions like that rather than blindly reverting. I won't be about here much for the rest of the month but I'll have a look at the article in September and hopefully we can come up with agreement then. Valenciano (talk) 10:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I can only apologise that you were wrongly implicated. I have to confess that I don't think it was entirely my fault but I have to accept my part in it and for that I am very sorry.  It has been rather emotive on that article.The Thunderer (talk) 15:04, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

UDR Proposals
I have started a work page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_Thunderer/Ulster_Defence_Regiment and also posted a set of objectives on the talk page. I've invited BigDunc and others to participate in an editing and discussion session to see if we can agree something which might resolve the issues which seem to exist. I would very much appreciate your examining the objectives and perhaps commenting or correcting anything which you think is inappropriate.The Thunderer (talk) 14:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the dust has settled on that particular edit war now and it may be appropriate to open the article for editing again as fresh, interesting and friendly dialogue is going on at the workpage. Would you mind examining the evidence and considering an unblock?   Obviously, and if it is possible, I would appreciate you monitoring the situation for a few days.The Thunderer (talk) 19:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you don't feel it's time yet then I will respect your judgement. My main reason for the request was to let the new editors in to have a go at reshaping the article.  Their logic is sound and reasonable in my opinion.   I realise there is the danger of further skirmishes however and am content to wait.The Thunderer (talk) 19:42, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Edit War
Wow. Three admins (now four, it seems) gang up on me and I'm the one who is engaged in an "edit war." If you'd like me to initiate an admin-abuse claim against all four of you, just keep doing what you're doing. -- Skaraoke (talk) 18:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It must be great to be an admin. You can act as each others' sock puppets to avoid the three-revert rule. -- Skaraoke (talk) 18:24, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your repeated threats and dismissive arrogance. You're a model admin, you are. -- Skaraoke (talk) 18:37, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

He'll keep that up for days if you give him an inch.
Keep it protected for a good amount of time and don't mention a time at all, or he'll be back within five minutes... Half Shadow  02:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * As I understand it, techniclly he's not even doing it. Apparently, he makes a link that creates the page, posts is on 4chan, someone clicks it and they do his dirty work for him. Half  Shadow  03:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Holywell, Swords
The article relating to the community where I and 2000 other people live was deleted as a non-notable housing estate on 23 April. I disagree with this interpretation of the Holywell community and if I had been aware of the proposal for deletion I would have made my views known and discuses with the proposers. I would be very grateful if you could please reinstate the article so that I can view the comments and address any issues or concerns people have. Dvdgraham (talk) 14:51, 4 June 2008

Dismissiveness
Would you please restore the Dismissiveness article to my user space, as it was deleted without notifying me as the creator on my talk page. Dhaluza (talk) 09:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've seen the discussion. Restoring an article to user space is a courtesy that any admin can do for someone who wants to work on the article, but it is also a courtesy to ask the admin who deleted the article first. Your response on my talk page indicates that you are either unfamiliar with this process, or unnecessarily defensive. Either way, if you decline to restore it, I can always ask another admin. Dhaluza (talk) 15:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I did not say this was a requirement, just a courtesy that most admins would do for an editor who wants to work on a deleted article. BTW, WP:DICDEF is one of the easist concerns to address, and should be handled with care at AfD, since all articles start out with a definition. For a specific example in this case, see as a source of content that could be added to expand this article. I prefer to work on it in my user space, so please restore it there with the history as requested. Thanks. Dhaluza (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I can now see that it was in fact edited down to a dicdef by User:Cumulus Clouds who then nominated it for deletion on this basis (and without seeking my input as creator). Rather dirty pool IMHO. Dhaluza (talk) 16:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's your one and only warning to refrain from any personal attacks and if you continue I will seek sanctions. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 02:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Have a look now, and see if the subject really couldn't be more than a WP:DICDEF.
 * Would you consider overturning your close of the AfD, since the point of the discussion is now moot. Dhaluza (talk) 12:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Oversight question
Hi. :) I note that you cleared the article Paul Doktor after receiving verification of permission. I'm so glad it came through! I'm dropping you a line to see if you are also handling clearing Yaltah Menuhin. The articles were created by the same user and sourced to the same website, and the copy of the permissions letter he cc'ed to me addressed both articles. I don't know, of course, if he sent another letter to the Communications Committee that only covered the one. However, I thought I would check, since the second article covered in the same letter may have been overlooked. Please let me know if I should forward that letter to Permissions again. I had such trouble contacting the gentleman in the first place, thanks to e-mail wonkishness, that I'd hope not to have to ask him to send the letter again himself.

I'll be watching your talk page, so feel free to answer here. On the other hand, I'm comfortable with an answer at my own page, too. I like to keep complex conversations together for continuity, but this one shouldn't be that complex, I shouldn't think. :D

Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! I'm so glad to mark that one off the "to do" list. Certainly one of the most complex copyright clearance situation I've ever gotten involved in! (Except, perhaps, Neural correlates of consciousness, which required bouncing from person to person like a superball. :)) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Afterburn(Carowinds)
Hi there, I'm a little confused as to why the article on the roller coaster Afterburn was deleted. The deletion log says it was proposed because of lack of notability, but I don't see how Afterburn is any less notable than many of the other rides in the same park.

Basically I'm wondering why this article was singled out.

Thanks, Abowers87 (talk) 04:07, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, okay, it isn't called "Administrator reports", but this is more informative to a new person finding their way around. If they want to report something to the administrators, they'll click on "Administrator reports", but there is a higher chance they'll be confused with "Administrators'", because the latter could almost be construed as a place where admins exclusively posted. &mdash; Anonymous Dissident  Talk 02:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
