The source has a disclaimer saying it releases content under the GNU. I had made a note about that when I redid the sources. Did I miss something. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 13:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Oh heyI have nothing to say, I'm just having a good day and wanted to wish you a good day too. :-) --Kizor 15:56, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Dog World Magazine COIYou said there is a conflict of interest for me to edit the Dog World page. I am in fact the editor of Dog World magazine. The historical information on the Dog World page is wrong. I am only trying to correct the misinformaion (i.e., the date the magazine was first published [Jan. of 1916, not Jan. 1915], who owned the magazine during certain years and removing the strange statement that says Dog World is going to honor those who devoted their lives to Dog World...). I am not going to editorialize or elaborate in any way other than to state the correct historical facts. Thank you.DogWorldEditor (talk) 16:10, 5 August 2008 (UTC) What?Im not sure what you mean when you said not to communicate with people. I only ever talk about the topic on Discussion pages.--Super Badnik (talk) 18:22, 9 August 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your assistanceDearest Alexf, Thankyou for the instruction.

Changing name of article "GPOCS" to "GPOP"Pattersonmap (talk) 15:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC) I would like to have the name of the article or GPOCS changed to GPOP, GPOCS has been superceded by GPOP and GPOCS is no longer available. Is it possible to change the name of the page? or can you do it? thank you Michael Patterson
Re:Bueno verte de nuevoThanks for the welcome! Nevertheless, I will not be spending more than an hour a day on Wikipedia. But that's at least something! Keeping a portal sounds like a lot of work. Is it supposed to be updated daily, weekly or monthly? Anyway, good luck with the portal; let me know if you need a hand. Mariano(t/c) 07:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Colombia's article protection did not take place.Today, I checked the history of that page and it seems like your attempt to protect the page from anonymous users was not successful. The page was edited again, and references to statistical data were removed without previous discussion. Perhaps, if you have a chance, you can look into the situation? Thank you for your time and assistance. Likeminas (talk) 15:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Soocial pageHi, I noticed that the Soocial page was deleted by you for reason of not being notable enough (code A7). I was wondering what was lacking in the article? Is it expected for an article to have more references? (these can be provided) I saw the startup Soocial linked on a website to the 'Social' wikipedia page and that's when I decided that Soocial needed their own page. Thank you for your time, Spazmaster 16:00, 13 August 2008 (GMT +1) I'd like to ask for your help please...The deletion log shows you deleted the last version of Ahmed Omar.

Question for Valentino: The Last Emperor creation pageHi there, I recently tried to submit a new page for the film "Valentino: The Last Emperor," and I was flagged down saying that this was promotional, etc, etc. I assure you that I apologize for any inconvenience, but I am writing directly from the production company so that we may be able to establish this page on wikipedia. I can include more basic info and not a detailed synopsis if that helps. Please let me know if this can be done at info AT valentinomovie DOT com. We would like to have this resolved as soon as possible so that we can have the most accurate info out there regarding our film. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.252.134.18 (talk) 20:49, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Help neededHi, I think I found an article which is a complete copyright violation. It was uploaded by some unknown user, and has been since expanded by anonymous users only. Can you check it? The article is Més que un club and I put the original links in Talk:Més que un club. HaGamal 23:26, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Cassi DavisI understand this will appear generic considering your reputation however I reverted your deletion of the Cassi Davis article, she has appeared in numerous films and is a recurring main character in a telivision series. Furthermore I have added references to prove all unverified claims, please take into consideration before deleting an article not all users are as advanced as yourself and few are capable of meeting quality standards you have set for an article in order for it to be considered worthy of placement on Wikipedia. Surely however an NAACP award nominated American actresses meets the requirements for notoriety on Wikipedia. I do not intend to go on a rant or start an argument, but it remains unclear why these article was deleted. Certainly Davis exists, she's on telivision every other night and has biographical information on a variety of websites.UniversalBread (talk) 00:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Flatmancrooked link on Borges page deleted???An intern for fmC recently added our link to the Borges page, noting that we're publishing a Borges story currently out of print (ISBN 978-0-9820348-0-4). The link and bibliographic information were both deleted and we are trying to figure out why. The translation of this story and its publication are noteworthy, and the work deserves a readership. We've obtained permission directly from Maria Kodama, Borges' widow. Please let us know how we can make a note of this on the Borges page.

Deletion of Sonny JeffriesWhy? It is a for real person and they for real think their all bloods and it had enough info in their for thinking about sonny Jeffries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HairyPerry (talk • contribs)
ALLEAYou deletion of ALLEA was wrong. It was absolutely rash, at best. A national academy of science is an organization in which only the country's most elite scientists are members. These are generally considered important organizations. I don't think there's anything wrong with taking into account that the article was written by one of Wikipedia's most respected contributors. Michael Hardy (talk) 05:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
I think it clearly does show notability. Michael Hardy (talk) 22:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC) Hi. Could you translate this? The Bald One White cat 10:51, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Its pretty good thanks although it will need some copy editing. How do you go about translating it? Do you just use a translation engine? The Bald One White cat 17:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Thats what I thought! It seemd to good to be a transaltion ewngine but also there were some awkward phrases which don't translate to easily. I started Supreme Court of Justice of Costa Rica earlier. I;ve made a good start any help you can give translating any of the smaller sections would be much appreciated. For Costa Rica it is a core article I think The Bald One White cat 17:26, 18 August 2008 (UTC) Just to let you know that there's a thread at WT:CSD sparked by a deletion you made. I don't think you need worry too much though - it's a bit of a storm in a teacup. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 12:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletionsHi, Alex. There is a discussion at WT:CSD about a reason deletion of yours, Cassi Davis. Since I wasn't sure if this was a one-off accident or if you had forgotten that we need to check history, I had a quick look at some of your recent deletions, and I see that you restored another deletion of yours here for a similar reason. Just wanted to remind you that we need to look at the article's history precisely for those reasons. :) Sometimes the history will save the article. I'm also wondering, now that I've looked at your recent deletions and at your talk page, if you may not fully understand WP:CSD#A7. You tell another editor above that "In order to stay an article like that has to at least comply with WP:BIO." You tell another, "I didn't say it is not notable. I said it does not show notability as it had no sources on a one sentence stub." A7 doesn't require proof of notability. It only requires a suggestion that an article could be notable. As the criterion says, "This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability; to avoid speedy deletion an article does not have to prove that its subject is notable, just give a reasonable indication of why it might be notable." At the point that you deleted Tambuco, for instance, it included an assertion that the band was three-times Grammy nominated. The article on Andy Wheating indicates that he is an Olympic runner. Both of these are assertions of significance and, even though unverified, in fact are assertions of notability as we define it. WP:Athlete includes "Competitors who have competed at the highest level in amateur sports." WP:MUSIC includes "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury or Grammis award." Wikipedia:CSD#Non-criteria states that notability is not in itself a reason for speedy-deletion, expanding that "Articles that seem to have obviously non-notable subjects are only eligible for speedy deletion if the article does not assert the importance or significance of its subject." Articles like those two should be handled through other processes. I think you do great work at CSD and certainly perform a valuable function. I used to spend 90% of my wikitime there, but have been able to dedicate myself recently to new challenges thanks to an increase in admins who are willing to help out there. I know that sometimes those CSDs seem to pour in out of nowhere, and keeping on top of that backlog is a never-ending challenge. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:21, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
This article is not eligible for deletion under A7, because the subject matter is a book. Per WP:CSD, "A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on" EVCM (talk) 13:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Why did you post a warning?Hey, why did you post me a warning? I was not vandalising? Those facts have NO CITATIONS given. What's wrong with posting [citation needed] notices on them? I mean, it's Wikipedia policy only, nothing goes in an article without proper references. So if somebody says that a fork is an eating utensil, they would have to cite the source. Otherwise stuff like original research prohibition on wikipedia should also be disallowed. If somebody writes that tea is a beverage from this and this plant, they would have to cite their sources. Please do reply to this message and don't give me a reason like "everybody knows what a fork is" or "such things don't need citations", because all that is SUBJECTIVE, you get me? Wikipedia lists ONLY THE FACTS. And something exists only on wikipedia if it has proper sourcs. So instead of giving me "only warnings" like this, take a moment to read through this, and rather than just blocking me, please reply with a decent message. Thank You. Serveg;ugbrown (talk) 02:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC) EDIT TO ABOVE-> I expect a reply, Alexf. It's not fair that you don't reply to users quickly. If I edit another article, you'll be quick to block me, but you take forever to reply. Thanks. Serveg;ugbrown (talk) 02:41, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
sound of urchin page deletionHi alex. I created a page for the alternative rock band, sound of urchin. It was a very thorough and comprehensive page for the band. I am inquiring on why it was deleted. Even though the sound of urchin has not had any "mainstream" success, they have three releases on major label RCA Records, a release on Hybrid Recordings (which has a wiki page linked to SOU), articles in major publications such as spin, rolling stone, etc, a video on MTV, performances on major network tv such as the CBS late late show with craig ferguson, a college radio cult hit, and a national fanbase. The band also has members who have played in tenacious d, ween, and other popular major/Indy rock acts, as well as touring with other legendary rock acts such as deep purple, scorpions, dio, twisted sister, cracker, etc. I'm sure you have your reasons for the deletion, but I would like to know what I can do to make the page better, in order to keep it up on wikipedia. The sound of urchin is one of those bands that has been flying under the radar for the 2000s but has managed to gather as much credibilty, history and underground success, if not more than some mainstream "one hit wonder" type acts. Thank you for your time.Tomato11 (talk) 14:43, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Alex, thank you. I will redo the page with the appropriate references. I have to check to make sure that I have the most updated version of the page. How easy is it for me to edit from my most recent version?Tomato11 (talk) 17:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Alex that would be great if you could restore it on my user space. Thank you. I will make all the necessary changes from there. What should I do once I am done revising the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomato11 (talk • contribs) 19:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Alex, I have read the WP:BAND and found that Sound of Urchin meet a few of the criteria listed, but i have a question in regards to providing reliable sources... what is the best way to show the reliable sources? should these be footnoted "references"? or links to external websites? im not sure i fully understand how to show these reliable sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomato11 (talk • contribs) 15:36, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
thanks!Tomato11 (talk) 16:32, 26 August 2008 (UTC) Ok, so I added the references and revised the page so it will comply with the WP:BAND at User:Tomato11/Sound_of_Urchin. Is there any way you can take a look at it there and let me know if i am on the right track? FYI, I removed the history for the time being so i can focus on getting the main info correct. Thanks.Tomato11 (talk) 18:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Article deleted.Hello, My question is on article wiki "Apollo Braun". The article was posted about a man who is in the news, who has interviewed Ehud Olmert (The Israel Prime Minister) when he was the major of Jerusalem. A lot of people have asked about him, and I thought about creating a page about him. However, I am new to Wikipedia and I do not fully know how to use all of the tools, so I am slow at it, and I noticed that it did not show or pop on search engines, so people could not come and check the site. Could it be possible for the article to be opened again? I am trying to get the article up and running, and I guess other people will want to also add their own information to the page. What can I do to open it again? Moreandmore123 (talk) 04:44, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
why so serious?Sir, were you born without a sense of humor. Are you aware that no sane teacher actually allows their student to use this website as any academic resource because, frankly, half of the material is misspelled and many other errors. My humorous editing of the article Uranus could not have possibly offended anyone but you. Anus is not a cussword, and to call a term that is commonly used in human anatomy classes vandalism simply because i was discussing my anus is preposterous. Now I have a request that will encourage me to forget your grievance against me. Please give me advice on how to post a page about my local town hero Adam Jacobs, even though no scholarly sources have yet currently been written. Then, I can promise you that any supposed vandalism will cease. Signed, The Joker :D P.S.

Okay, so you are saying I made up a religion, which is unknown to the world? Alright then, ask the half a million people who belong to this religion if I made it up and it is unkown. Please, make sure you have suitable knowledge on a topic before deleting a page about it. Especially if a page (or pages) already exist reffering to it. Jediism might not be as large or old as a religion such as Christianity, but it still exists, and is still known to the world. If you think i made it up, you should check out the Spaghetti Monster: Flying Spaghetti Monster. That's definately made up! Maybe you'd like to delete that aswell? - Posted 00.36, 31st August 2008 (GMT)
