Hi:)
Hi Excirial, just thought I'd leave a note that I took the liberty of making some corrections on your statement inRequests for adminship/Cgoodwin. I hope you don't mind that. Warm regards.  ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  16:33, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for those corrections. My ability to write grammatically correct English quickly diminishes if i am dual-tasking or feeling somewhat sleepy. And in this case, both apply. :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs )16:35, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol :) Sleep well. Good night and best regards to one of the top editors I admire.  ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  16:42, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Just a couple more hours of awake time and i can do so i guess. Oh, and i hope that you don't mind that i slightly tweaked your user and user talk page - the pages looked fine in Internet Explorer, but Firefox doesn't automatically add a line break if a page becomes to wide. As a result your talk page header was thrown outside the page boundaries which made it unreadable unless a user used the horizontal scrollbar. Or to cut a long story short - its fixed. :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 16:48, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks :):) A personal privilege for me to have you edit my pages...  ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪    ―Œ  ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣  16:50, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Film and Television Production Manager
Hi Wifione,

I recently posted a new subject on Wikipedia titled Film and television Production Manager. You contacted me to say that the subject of this profession was covered in Production Manager. When you click on this link it takes you to Product manager and does not mention anything to do with this profession.

Even on the Film production page has links to other pages for most professions in the Film and Television production world but not Production Managers.

This profession is one of the most important in the industry as they have to oversee all processes from initial conception through to delivery of a project to a broadcaster or distributor.

I am attempting to highlight this profession and have plenty of information to substantiate the reference.

I would be happy to take some pointers on how to successfully achieve this.

Thanks in advance. Please feel free to contact me at my e-mail address. marc@bullrodger.co.uk

Re: HD
Yes, that's fine. The person sounds notable enough (MBE), just that it wasn't stated in the article and hence the deletion. Userfication is probably best for now, rather than outright deletion - I wish some admins would remember WP:BITE.Mjroots (talk) 09:04, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * True. I think the same case is happening at the Help Desk, with some answers coming out too strong. One of our areas should be to request our various experienced editors and administrators to educate others about the problem of WP:BITE. Thanks for your kind reply.

Speedy deletion
The page "Ruslan Ardashev" is of significance. For one, I am the reputable author of the popular, and well-known theme "HTC Leopard." That alone deserves merit. Numerous newspaper publications can testify to other achievements, if I had been given the time to do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ardashev120101(talk • contribs) 15:51, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Do not delete Jožef Kerec!

 * Why speedly deletion from Wikipedia's page of article about Jožef Kerec? It was mistake! Let you return back that article!Wikipedia created this page of Slovenian missionaries: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Slovenian_missionaries

Most biographies are not written. I will, that article of Kerec remain! --Stebunik (talk) 22:03, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Question
I am not closely related to Mick Mulvaney. However, I believe it is essential that his Wikipedia page is up and running. I am new to this process and will take all the help I can get. Thanks. Erinfebel (talk) 14:30, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * On my talk page, you posted "Mick Mulvaney is a client of Erin Febel (confirmed via linked twitter feeds), who is editing the page. A warning has been left on her talk page. Similarly, IP 67.197.214.253 belongs to a company (confirmed via WhoIs) which is a large donor to Mick Mulvaney." Could you expand on that? I don't speak Twitter, and my WhoIs-fu is not that strong. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Your note on my talk page about IIPM
Dear Wifone,

It is very disheartening to see the links removed, but let me try and place the issue in perspective. Let me try and tackle each of the changes in an orderly way.

First, the UGC ad

It appeared in the Times of India on August 23:

http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Repository/getimage.dll?path=CAP/2010/08/23/9/Img/Ad0090800.png

The date is in the newspaper itself. 2007 is part of the number of the advertisement. You can see the notice here:

http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Client.asp?Daily=CAP&showST=true&login=default&pub=TOI&Enter=true&Skin=TOINEW&GZ=T&AW=1282757767984

Why would the UGC issue a 2007 notice in 2010?

The reason why the UGS seems to have been compelled to give this notice is for reasons such as the following:

http://twitpic.com/2fkopn/full

Now, you could argue that the Twitpic is not an autheticated account, but that is the trouble with banner advertising. They would never have a static URL.

I hope you would be able to see the problem that the UGC and some of the past students of IIPM are fighting: despite warnings, IIPM blatantly continues to advertise falsely and that is why such ads by UGC are required. I hope the above will be able to satisfy you that this is absolutely PERTINENT news worthy of being mentioned about IIPM as anyone who reads the entry should know what the government's regulatory body has to say about IIPM

Once I have your approval to re-insert the above detail in the entry, I will come back and address some of the other issues.

 * StudentForLifeTime has posted the same exact message, here, on his talk page, and on the IIPM talk page. I replied at IIPM, then noticed your reply, which was essentially the same as mine. You and I rarely agree when it comes to the IIPM article. (Oh, and I just noticed your RfA vote; much appreciated.) ~Amatulić (talk) 21:09, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Just noticed Student's message on the article talk page. Just left a small note there. And the RfA vote of mine represented and consolidated my clear understanding and appreciation of your editorial integrity - including the work I have seen you doing at other forums. Not that I have agreed with you on much in the past, but at least I wouldn't let that colour my perspective about your sincere commitment towards having a better Wikipedia. My best wishes for your future administrative responsibilities.

COI
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:194.78.45.187

I see you have left a message of conflict of interest.

Wikipedia probably has far, far more conflicts of interest but we pick on companies more. The person who wrote clearly states that they are part of the company. This is disclosure and is good.

On the other hand, we have lots of anonymous editors that write about all kinds of things. An engineer may write about a patented chemical that his company makes, a Canadian NDP supporter may write positive comments about the NDP politician that he supports. The list is endless. Yet we let this go and attack corporate people.

This should stop.

There should be total disclosure for everybody. The details, ArbCom or you can decide. For example, I am writing on the GBU-53/B bomb. There should be a separate page with a tab (where it says discussion/edit this page/history...etc) where the tab says Disclaimers. When you click disclaimer, it has a list where you can add your name. In the GBU-53/B article, I might write:

Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 15:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC) I have no conflict of interest. I am not an employee of Raytheon, Boeing and am not an employee of the U.S. government or defence industry.

In the Nokian Tyres artice, I could add:

Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 15:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC) I have a conflict of interest to declare. I have ties to Finland and have used Nokian tyres in the past but do not do so now. I have never written promotional materials for Nokian elsewhere and have not had any tyre complaints about Nokian. I have not received any free tyres or other considerations from Nokian.

 * Thanks for the exhaustive message. Your suggestion is appreciated. I believe you're acting in good faith, but your suggestion would not be able to limit bad faith COI editors from still not revealing their identity on the proposed disclaimer page, defeating the very purpose of the disclaimer and complicating editing by a level, albeit a simple level. Still, if you believe your viewpoint has weight, you could post your suggestion at WP:Village pump.
