Final Destination 6: The Final Stand
Hi Savio, I add more information to the plot, add the references list and I put on External links my profile of Wattpad. PLease reconsider this delete. I'm a puertorican and you don't know how much cost to me to create my first article about my screenplay. If you still see not too much information in the plot is because the script is in production. Thanks! User:FD6TFS Let's talk about it! 00:29, 18 September 2011
 * I see the page has already been nominated for deletion, so I fear I can say very little about it... The only thing I want to say is that, even if this page is deleted, this does mean your contributions are not welcome. It's just that Wikipedia requires subjects to be notable — meaning they have received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources — before they qualify for inclusion. I fear that your screenplay does not meet the notability threshold; there are alternative outlets, though, if you wish to preserve your article, such as WikiAlpha.

Horse Show Colour article
HI Salvio, Thank you for your concern I dont understand why the article has been deleted as it is not an advert for the product, there is no reference to contact adresses or numbers. The article is bring to attention a new way of colouring horses and ponies for competition which is important for us in the horse industry. Could you please reconsider this article. Kind Regards, Felice
 * I agree that the article contained no contact addresses or numbers, but its tone was very inappropriate all the same. One of Wikipedia's most important policies is WP:NPOV, which mandates that all articles be written using a neutral tone; an article that reads like advertising copy, extolling the virtues of a product or using marketing terms like "dynamic" and "capable" and "world-leading expertise" to describe a company or something along those lines, will be speedily deleted as promotion, even if there is no "contact us" section. In the case at hand, I'm really sorry to say, but the article read like an advertisement, explaining why this particular product is the best to colour horses there is. Furthermore, there is also another problem; another policy is WP:N, which mandates that a subject must be notable — that is to say, have received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources — in order to qualify for inclusion. My feeling is that your product is not notable enough yet. Finally, you seem to have a conflict of interest, here. While coi-editing is not prohibited, it's discouraged; therefore, I feel I have to invite you to read Wikipedia's policy regarding conflicts of interest and FAQ regarding organisations.

K.h93/SMS Billing Types
Hi again Salvio! :)

As you know, I have been trying to create this page SMS Billing Types for a while as I was looking for the information to help with an article I was writing myself about SMS Billing and for the first time Wikipedia was no help! I have had the page deleted twice and been warned for advertising (not intentionally but now I see what they meant by it!) I was wondering if you could check the page and get back to me with any helpful feedback please! I would like to ensure others have a full knowledge of this. Also before I save the article and it gets deleted again and prevent me getting banned!! :)

Many Thanks!

K.h93 (talk) 10:33, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm a bit busy in real life, at the moment, so I'm not sure I can get to this in a very timely fashion. I'll try to check your article as soon as I can, but I'd like you to know that, if you don't hear from me in one or two days, it's not because I'm ignoring you. Cheers. Salvio  Let's talk about it! 19:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Salvio,
 * It does not matter much as Nikthestoned has nominated himself to delete the DRAFT article I made. Surely they cannot delete drafts? Is there anyone that I can formerly complain to about an editor? (Not you!!) You along with the other editors who I have contacted/been in contact me have been fair and the rest, but he feels it necessary to delete my article and not even nominate it!
 * I have lost all work that I had done as it was rough and in a drafter version. Sorry to rant on your page as I know it is indefinatley not your fault but his. If you could get back to me (in your own time) with the details of the person in charge of editors please (if possible) it would be greatly appreciated!
 * Many thanks
 * K.h93 (talk) 14:12, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, while things in your userspace tend to be left alone, from a technical standpoint, everything you publish here is released under Wikipedia's licence, which, among other things, allows other users to modify what you wrote. And, in fact, there are cases when it is appropriate to delete something located in userspace. As a general rule, attack pages, spam and copyright violations are eliminated — even from userspace —, as soon as they're caught. Quite frankly I do not know if what you wrote was a copyvio as I haven't checked; if it was, Nik did the appropriate thing when he nominated it for deletion; if, on the contrary, it was not, you should ask the deleting admin to restore your draft. If you wish, I can send you the text of the page by email, but, please, unless you check with the deleting admin, do not put it back on Wikipedia unchanged.

Grave dancing?
You removed comments from the User talk:Colofac page with the edit summary "rm. grave-dancing". How is it grave dancing for Viriditas to point out to Colofac that it is a little bit rich hearing him complain about vile propaganda when that's all he has on his user page? Have you not visited Colofac's userpage, and seen that he displays the hate template you see above? In normal day to day operations of Wiki, the comment from Viriditas would be perfectly legitimate, to the point, and justified. How is his message to Colofac somehow invalidated because Colofac got himself blocked? Does the legitimacy of the message somehow no longer pertain? Of course it does, so it is hardly grave dancing. I suggest you reinstate the information you removed. I regret needing to sully your page with the obnoxious template, but without it my point would have far less emphasis. Moriori (talk) 21:12, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Moriori, but just let it go. You and I know that pointing out blatant hypocrisy is not "grave dancing" by any stretch of the imagination, and my comments in the section up above on Colofac's talk page show that I was arguing in favor of forgiveness and reconciliation for the blocked user, and that's something that "grave dancers" certainly don't do.  Let's just leave this alone for now, and trust that Salvio will exercise better judgement in the future. Viriditas (talk) 04:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * While this message was appropriate and professional — and, quite frankly, I support both it and your removal of the userbox from Colofac's userpage —, I stand by my action. I still think that the tone of your edit to Colofac's userpage was highly inappropriate — Irony is a biotch, really? —, especially considering his block prevents him from editing his talk page, thereby stopping him from either removing your comment or from replying to it. I still consider that edit little more than derision and I believe I was justified in removing it. However, I have no objections to dropping the entire issue.

Harry_Bloomfield deletion page
help Dear Wikipedia,

Regarding the Wikipedia entry for Harry Bloomfield, Q.C., I would like to point out that he is like many international personalities who have lead substantial and impactful lives without necessarily attracting major headlines. Yes it is true that his run for the Commons of Canada in 1980 was performed as a service to the then Progressive Conservative Party but this service and his life long dedication to the Conservative Party in Canada put him on the Board of the Business Development Bank of Canada for 11 years (1987 to 1998) and as well rewarded him with the rank of Queen's Counsel which is rarely given. Mr Bloomfield also spent 6 distinguished years as a Commissioner of the Quebec Securities Commission, (the Commission des Valeurs Mobilieres du Quebec, 1982 to 1987) at an important time in the evolution of securities regulation in the province of Quebec.

Mr. Bloomfield's accusation by the Elliot Spitzer administration of New York State was a wrong that took three years to right and did result, including many mean-spirited and sensationalist headlines, in complete and total vindication.

Mr. Bloomfield has managed the affairs and is now President of one of the most substantial charitable Foundations in the history Canada - the Eldee Foundation- which has given the funding for the creation of the Lady Davis institute for Research at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal as well as major funding on the campus of St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada. As well, under his Presidency, the Eldee Foundation has funded important charitable/cultural assets in Israel including the Lady Davis Fellowship Trust (http://www.mystfx.ca/campus/buildings/bloomfield/), the Bloomfield Science Museum (http://www.mada.org.il/en) and 18 vocational training high schools in the AMAL Network in Israel (http://yeda.amalnet.k12.il/amalnet) which provides high school education to ensure egalitarianism in Israeli society.

As well, Mr. Bloomfield has served on numerous Canadian boards of Directors - as you will see from the "Harry Bloomfield" entry which you just recently took off your Wikipedia pages. He is also the Principal of a law firm, former President of the International Law Association in Canada (http://www.ila-hq.org/). It was clear from your comments that the entry had not been correctly framed nor correctly written and I propose that we will now re-write the entry in proper form, which guidelines you are welcome to remind us about.

With kind regards,

Your sincerely,

H. Bloomfield Q.C.
 * Dear Mr. Bloomfield, considering the page was deleted after a community discussion, what we call an WP:AFD, I'd advise against recreating it in the article mainspace, because it would be eligible for speedy deletion under criterion G4. My personal advice would be to create a draft, as a subpage in your userspace — here, for instance — and, when you're done, to start a discussion at deletion review, so that the article will not be deleted as soon as it is moved to mainspace. If you need help to do this, I'll be happy to help! That said, regarding the article, the first thing you should check is whether you meet the notability requirements; basically, per WP:BIO, a person can have an article if they are notable, meaning, in short, that they have received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources. If you believe you qualify for inclusion, then you should follow WP:V, Wikipedia's policy on verifiability, WP:NPOV, the one regarding the tone you should use and WP:BLP, which indicates what can and cannot be inserted in a biography of a living person. These are the most important policies you should try to follow. There are others, but if you abide by these, you should be reasonably sure your article will not be deleted. Finally, considering you have a conflict of interest, I'd like to invite you to read WP:COI and WP:BESTCOI; the former is a policy, the latter is an essay, which is meant to provide useful advice, but is not actually policy. If you need anything, feel free to ask. Cheers. Salvio  Let's talk about it! 09:52, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

User:Edwardtbabinski
Hi Salvio. You closed Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Edwardtbabinski as "no consensus". Would you revision delete the copyright-violating and BLP-violating revisions of User:Edwardtbabinski per Revision deletion #1 and 2? Thank you, Cunard (talk) 08:04, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've removed the copyvios; in principle, I'd be happy to also revdel the BLP-vio you mention, but there is a problem: after closing the mfd as an admin, I blanked the entire page as an editor; so, if I revdel the page up to the last revision containing the BLP-vio, which is the one where I removed the mfd tag, then it would be impossible to access the content of the page (as the only non-revdelled revision would be blank) and I would therefore be violatiing both the results of the mfd and my closure... Salvio  Let's talk about it! 09:08, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for revision deleting the copyright violations. To resolve the BLP violation, would you undo your blanking and remove the BLP violation in the same edit? (Remove both the living person's name and website, as well as the attack on her.) Then, revision delete all the older revisions, and re-blank the page because of the WP:UP violation. Would that work? Cunard (talk) 09:45, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The BLP violation was introduced in this edit at 00:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC). All the revisions between that timestamp and the edit before your blanking contain the BLP violation. Cunard (talk) 09:55, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, now that you've proposed it, I can't understand why I didn't think of it... Thanks & ✅.  Salvio  Let's talk about it! 10:05, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries. :) Thank you for purging the BLP violation from the page. Cunard (talk) 10:27, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

News and progress from RfA reform 2011
(You are receiving this message because you are either a task force member, or you have contributed to recent discussions on any of these pages.)

The number of nominations continues to nosedive seriously, according to  these monthly figures. We know why this is, and if the trend continues our reserve of active admins will soon be underwater. Wikipedia now needs suitable editors to come forward. This can only be achieved either through changes to the current system, a radical alternative, or by fiat from elsewhere.

A lot of work is constantly being done behind the scenes by the coordinators and task force members, such as monitoring the talk pages, discussing new ideas, organising  the project  pages, researching  statistics and keeping  them  up  to  date. You'll also see for example that  we have recently  made tables to  compare how other Wikipedias choose  their sysops, and some tools have been developed to more closely examine !voters' habits.

The purpose of WP:RFA2011 is to focus attention on  specific issues of our  admin  selection  process and to develop  RfC proposals for solutions to improve them. For this, we have organised the project into dedicated sections each with their own discussion pages. It is important to understand that  all Wikipedia policy changes take a long  time to implement whether or not the discussions appear to  be active - getting the proposals right before offering them for discussion by the broader community is crucial to the success of any RfC. Consider keeping the pages and their talk pages on your watchlist; do check out older threads before starting a new one on topics that have been discussed already, and if you start a new thread, please revisit it regularly to follow up on new comments.

The object of WP:RFA2011 is not  to make it  either  easier or harder to  become an admin -  those criteria are set by  those who  !vote at  each  RfA. By providing  a unique venue for developing ideas for  change independent  of  the general discussion  at  WT:RFA, the project has two  clearly  defined goals: The fastest way is through improvement to the current system. Workspace is however also available within the project  pages to  suggest  and discuss ideas that are not  strictly  within  the remit  of this project. Users are invited to make use of these pages where they  will  offer maximum exposure to  the broader community, rather than individual  projects in  user space.
 * 1) Improving the environment  that  surrounds RfA in  order to  encourage mature, experienced editors of the right  calibre to  come forward, pass the interview, and dedicate some of their  time to  admin  tasks.
 * 2) Discouraging, in the nicest  way  possible of course, those whose RfA will be obvious NOTNOW or SNOW, and to  guide them towards the advice pages.

We already know what's wrong with RfA - let's not clutter the project with perennial chat. RFA2011 is now ready to propose some of the elements of reform, and all the task force needs to do now is to pre-draft those proposals in the project's workspace, agree on the wording, and then offer them for central discussion where the entire Wikipedia community will be more than welcome to express their opinions in  order to  build consensus.

New tool Check your RfA !voting history! Since the editors' RfA !vote counter at X!-Tools has been down for a long while, we now have a new RfA Vote Counter to replace it. A significant improvement on the former tool, it provides a a complete breakdown of an editor's RfA votes, together with an analysis of the participant's voting pattern.

Are you ready to help? Although the main engine of RFA2011 is its task force, constructive comments from any  editors are always welcome on  the project's various talk  pages. The main reasons  why  WT:RfA was never successful in  getting  anything  done are that threads on different aspects of RfA are all mixed together, and are then archived where nobody  remembers them and where they  are hard to  find - the same is true of ad hoc threads on  the founder's talk  page.

The result of the AfD was delete, not redirect; also, although the author is probably notable, this SPA user has been inputting such a string of articles about her books as almost to amount to a spamming campaign, and I do not think an NN book is necessarily entitled even to a redirect - see my comment at WP:Articles for deletion/Barbara de Baalbek.
