User:Cuivienen/Hurricane Emmy (1976)
Just to let you know, there is already an article on Hurricane Emmy (1976). Your sandbox is currently showing up in a category, so I was wondering whether you would be willing to either redirect it or delete it to prevent it from showing up in there. Thanks.

 * I've deleted it. I just never got around to finishing the article, and now there's a real one. Oh well. —Cuiviénen 20:11, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, on the 20th you filed a request to usurp the account. I'm sorry to say that Verily has since posted to say that he/she objects to their account being usurped. As such it is no longer possible for you to usurp that account. WjBscribe 23:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call
Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add  to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.

Being a jerk to total strangers for no reason is, in my experience, a bad way to go through life. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:58, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * My comment was not "being a jerk", it was a legitimate complaint: don't bring up articles on AfD for lack of notability without making at least a cursory effort to determine their notability. This was a case in which even the simplest Google search would have rendered the need to create a new AfD unnecessary. Please try not to take offense at criticism in the future. — Verrai 02:04, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If it had been a politely worded suggestion or request, then yes... it would have been "criticism" not worthy of offense. Rather, it was a brusquely worded command which, yes, did constitute you "being a jerk". --Dante Alighieri | Talk 15:40, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment
There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 15:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Beruna
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Beruna, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi Verrai, I'm working on Vandalism Detection in Wikipedia. While processing blocked users data I saw your name as an active admin who does vandalism elimination. I have some questions it would be great if I can contact you (or any other admin that you suggest) through email. Here is mine, sjavanma@uci.edu.

Assist America page deleted
Hello Verrai,

Just curious as to why the Assist America page I created was deleted for "blatant advertising". I actually tried to keep it as non promotional as possible and simply stuck to the history of their company as well as listed some of the services that they provide.

I did some further research and found this page as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europ_Assistance_USA. This page seems to be related to the same industry and is much more promotional than my page. I also find the sources on this page to be somewhat bogus.

Can you please explain to me what changes I can make to my article, so that I am within the guidelines of Wikipedia?

Thank you in advance.

 * Any article about a corporation which spends most of its time discussing the services of that company and how they may acquired would be considered advertising. In any case, a company with an article on Wikipedia is required to meet WP:CORP standards of notability, which the article did not (and thus could have been deleted instead for failing to assert notability; see WP:CSD). You are correct that there are hundreds of Wikipedia articles which do not meet these standards which are not deleted immediately; this is because they slip through the cracks upon creation, and, if they are obscure topics, are rarely turned up by editors searching for problematic articles. The article you linked to I have tagged as advertising to allow a second pair of admin eyes to look at to consider if it would fall under our deletion standards, as someone had done with your article. If you would like more information on how to write a good article on Wikipedia, please visit WP:FIRST. — Verrai 18:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

"CEREMONIE-YAM" PAGE WHICH YOU DELETED
The page was not a 'blatant violation of copyright' - i am the author and i actually write that way. Open letter:

Hi - I’m User:CCFSDCA (Christopher Corbett-Fiacco). I must respond to concerns expressed regarding articles I’ve posted at Wikipedia the past week or so, as I am in fact the author of The Whole World Calendar Book of Holidays Around the World 2010-2015, as stated in reference (an as-yet unpublished book which is based upon the self-published The Whole World Calendar 2008 [and 2009; email me at wholeworldcalendar@gmail.com and I’ll be glad to send you a sample page and info on ordering, if interested]). I have sent Wikipedia its permissions grant for using copyrighted material as requested and assure you that I am not self-promoting. My mistake is in not yet spending the time to figure out exactly how to cite the book as the reference for the articles, which I’ll do as soon as I have the time. My intent in adding the articles is that they are actual national/religious/cultural holidays and festivals, are therefore ‘newsworthy’ if not particularly important, and, having spent two years researching the topic, I can assure you that it is quite difficult at times to find such information -- try to find out what the Ceremonie-Yam is (which I’d posted but was deleted by you for “blatant copyright infringement”) and you’ll see what I mean. It is my intent to self-publish the book within 6 months if I cannot find a publisher. Meanwhile, feel free to delete my articles as desired. I’ll revisit the subject at a later date and repost them only after I’ve ascertained that I am, in fact, doing it right. Meanwhile, I’m not copying from somebody else -- those articles are my own -- that’s the way I write. Thanks much. CCFSDCA (talk) 21:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)Chris Corbett-Fiacco

Article from new users
It seems like you deleted the article Article 1: by User:Cellular Biochemistry II. It seems like there was a misunderstanding about Wikipedia namespace and User namespace since the user wanted to create pages in his user namespace. Maybe you could try to talk to the user first and explain what he did wrong so he can do better next time? The user was very confused and didn't know what he did wrong, this seems to me quite a hard start into Wikipedia. Thanks a lot --hroest 20:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It had already been explained by User:Tckma that such articles were inappropriate; surely there was no need to be repetitive. (In any case, the articles were blank and thus it would have served no function to move them into userspace.) — Verrai 03:07, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Philosophical Practice
Hello there. I am writing to you concerning the deletion of a page entitled 'Philosophical Practice' a collegue of mine recently tried to published. I am author, of and hold copywright to, the web page he copied material from. He has my express consent for doing so. I sent a mail from my website highlighting this fact, but to no avail. I logged on to Wikipedia with an e-mail address linked to my website also and it is from this wikipedia account I am writing to you.

Perhaps you could let me know how either myself or my collegue can go about publishing this article. thank you for your time,

Peace,

Temsuyanger Longkumer
As if there weren't enough wrong with it already, Temsuyanger Longkumer (which you recently tidied, of course in good faith and all that) may well be a copyright violation (frankly I didn't bother to look) and was probably written by Temsuyanger Longkumer himself: see its talk page.
