G11Hi Alex - just a friendly question to an admin with more experience than me... do you definitely think that this qualifies for G11? I was in the process of leaving the author a long note (and I should have removed the speedy tag before doing so) but I didn't think it would qualify as G11. It clearly fails GNG and all relevant guidelines, but it didn't seem at all spammy (unless factoring in the authors name). I think in the end it would have been deleted (and I certainly don't want a deletion review) but guess I'm just wondering if you thought this was a borderline AFD/PROD case or if you would delete articles like this every time as a G11, or if the article/username combo put it over the top... 7 23:19, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Greetings: I made several corrections to the page for "Magnolia Audio Video" and it was deleted because of claims that the page was 'advertising'. Being that Wikipedia has no clear definition of advertising on a page, I do not understand how anything could have been considered advertising. I made changes to the title of their Chief Operating Officer (previously listed as "President") as well as corrections to their appropriate store location counts. I also added a subsection for the "Magnolia Design Center", which I assumed was okay because the page previously listed both Magnolia Audio Video and Magnolia Home Theater as branches for this company. These changes are all factual, so please let me know where you are seeing an issue. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SterlingArcher (talk • contribs) 20:55, 24 December 2010 (UTC) claimYou claim that I vandalized Samuel Eto'o's article! I did no such thing.. I've never even seen that article! Please, get your facts right before harassing people with those chest-pumping messages on the vices of vandalism! You got my IP wrong or something.. In any case, it is super annoying to be accused of something that I never did! I demand an apology and more care in looking into these things! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.98.112.184 (talk) 11:29, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Request to reinstate deleted pageHello, We would like to request that the page about Citizens Committee for New York City - User:Jemilah#Citizens_Committee_for_New_York_City - be reinstated. The organization was established by Osborn Elliott and Senator Jacob Javits. Former Congressman Peter H. Kostmayer is its CEO. I think that the page about the organization was strictly factual and a starting point for all future contributors. Apologies for the errors during the signing up process. I hope you will reconsider your decision. Thank you! Neighborhoods (talk) 16:11, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Please Undelete Proving Longevity by Cosmic Acceleration TheoryPlease change your desision. I can prove this theory thru Physics. Mark Williams, Electrical Engineer, Texas A&M University 2002 I started this thread to suggest that some Longevity myths may actually be facts. I really would like to keep credit for my theory instead of a thanks for the tip. This theory also involves Einstein’s Time Dilation by Relativity Theory, Applied Physics and Cosmic Activity. So, Time dilation is responsible for Biblical Longevity as an explanation after Noah’s flood because the earth is still rotating 365 days a year normally given that ancient records were recorded correctly. To clarify, this theory says that a living being can age slower or faster in its solar system since effects from within the galaxy or universe do not affect the earth’s typical orbit. Meaning the earth is still normally rotating 365 days a year however the speed of the galaxy traveling in the universe has changed do to gravitational effect from other bodies such as black holes were Time Dilation has occurred. Furthermore, the measured time of the clock will speed up during deceleration as the earth approaches the speed at creation which should be zero meters per second and in contrast the measured time of the clock will slow down as it approaches the speed of light since it is accelerating. So basically, you could start ageing faster or slower and you wouldn't know by examining your relative time at that instant but over a period of time a difference would be noticed since your time is based on the rotation around the Sun.

Deletion of pageWe recently posted a history of our company, it was not advertising it was history. There is history of MANY other companies within Wikipedia so I do not know why our page was deleted. I ask that the page be restored so that those in the community that are interested in, and would like to add to our history over time and do so. Thank you. 216.237.18.42 (talk) 20:33, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Please let me know what I can change to keep the "XRoads Networks" page. I was simply giving history about my company. How we came up with our name and when we began business. I tried to delete the last paragragh as I can see that being advertisement. Thanks for your help (Ashley noel4209 (talk) 21:20, 3 November 2010 (UTC)) Ashley

I noticed you had to delete the talk page (again) and I took a moment to look at the file page. There is some vandalism remaining there that was missed before the file was protected. It is just underneath the Commons template and has a couple of names and link to a "room for rent." Since only admins can edit it and you've just been there, I came to you. Thanks! --| Uncle Milty | talk | 00:14, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra - Page DeletedHello. I would like you to restore the page 'Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra'. The artist is question does comply under the terms of Wikipedia's definition of 'notoriety'. There has been considerable attention to the artist from UK press and other reliable sources. Only last week the band were the main feature on a 2 hour show broadcast by Craig Charles on BBC6 Music. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00vlmh6 - The band is also signed to a respected independent label (First Word Records). There was nothing incorrect in my article. There were no attacks, vandalism, advertisements or copyright violations. This article was encyclopedic. Many Thanks Wikimuso (talk) 12:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alex. I am unsure as to what sourcing I can ascertain for this without posting web links. I have read WP:BAND and the artist in question does fit a number of the criteria set out. I have researched many similar artists of similar notability and I can see no evidence why my article is any different in terms of sourcing, notability of artist and overall content. I spent a lot of time writing my article and I don't have a back up. Please can you send me the content you deleted so that I can continue to work on it before publishing with the correct criteria as you advise me. This is my first article however I have been thorough to ensure that I have done it within the guidelines that Wikipedia dictates. Many thanks Wikimuso (talk) 13:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC) (link collection removed) Should I use these as reference/source material? Will this be ok for you to re-site the article? Wikimuso (talk) 13:14, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Many thanks for your help! Does this pass your approval? User:Wikimuso/Ariya_Astrobeat_Arkestra - Can you tell me how best to reload it to the main site? Many thanks. I am looking forward to the world of Wikipedia! Wikimuso (talk) 13:40, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for this Alex. I think I need a wikipedia PHD! There is a huge amount of reading to be done I can see. I have read the relevant pages but will go into it in more depth before I re-upload. Many thanks Wikimuso (talk) 14:02, 5 November 2010 (UTC) Sorry to bother you again Alex. I have corrected the article and it is ready to upload. I have dropped the code on the original deleted page, but it is not yet cleared. On the userfied article I can't find any options to 'move' as described in your link. Could you possibly direct me here. Perhaps my brain has a daily wikipedia capacity which i have now exceeded!! :) Wikimuso (talk) 14:22, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Many many thanks Alex! I've learnt a lot today!! Wikimuso (talk) 14:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC) Hi Alex, I will be ever so grateful if you can help me with this problem. The same user 'Amsaim' has repeatedly objected to my article and it's link on 'afrobeat'. I don't really understand what more I can do. The article is now referenced and complies with every thing that has been brought to my attention as yet. Many thanks again, Wikimuso (talk) 21:06, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alex, thank you for your help last week. I am currently disputing the AfD. If you get the chance could you possible guide me as to whether I am approaching this correctly. It is frustrating when you know an article is deserving and yet you don't have enough knowledge of the workings of wikipedia to do it justice. There is a lot to take in on here for a first-timer! Have I made my case in the AfD ? Many thanks again. Wikimuso (talk) 16:55, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Request for page undeletionRE: "Eyeless (band)" page Hello, I noticed the discography was missing some information, so I helped and contributed some information. After adding the track listing to their page, to my surprise, I saw a notice that claims you deleted their whole band page. Is this not "Wikipedia Vandalism?"

SocialbuggHello Alexf, I hope you had a wonderful Veteran's Day! I am here because the article I wrote and submitted has been deleted. I have searched the deleted page as you requested, but can not find the listing, so I have included a "copy & paste" so you can see it. I don't know if the link will show up red or not, I am hoping it does. Socialbugg is a new site, and there isn't alot of publicity on it yet, I will keep searching for more verifiable & notable information. Do I need to create a new draft like I did when I started the page or can it be restored and an "in progress" or similar tag be added so it won't be deleted again? A page with this title has previously been deleted. If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the deleting administrator using the information provided below.

Douglass Cullum MontanI really don't understand why the article on Douglass Cullum Montan was deleted in hours before construction could be completed. Douglass Cullum Montan was an important character in nineteenth century Louisiana. It takes time to build a webpage. I had to leave my computer for a while and so I stopped with an introductory paragraph and an indication that the article is a stub, because I was planning on coming back later to complete it. Wikipedia says, "Most articles start as stubs, but after many contributions, they can become featured articles." See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About Wikipedia invites people to create articles but you are working against Wikipedia policy by deleting a stub article that is under construction.

About Page RestorationHi Alexf, My Maxx12 User page was deleted and the reason seemed to be because you believed it was for advertising purposes. I assure you the page was meant to be educational, informing people about the band and sharing knowledge of who they are. You have a similar page for Ronnie Montrose at Ronnie Montrose that was not deleted. My page was written in a similar way, but it would help if you sent a message asking about concerns you may have before deleting a page to see if they might be clarified. I would like my page to be restored and am willing to discuss any concerns you might have had with it. The deletion would have had to occur between Friday and today (Monday, Nov. 15), if that helps. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Holly Maxx12 (talk) 15:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alex, I understand that the band MAXX12 is not currently published on Wikipedia, but they are published on many other sites and have a huge fan base so I do believe they are noteworthy. Someone has to be the first to publish, so what better source than someone who is directly involved, gaining firsthand knowledge? I understand the issue with the conflict of interest, but anyone is allowed to edit the page and make corrections (including people who don't have a conflict in interest) and it is just as easy for someone to have someone else, without a conflict of interest, post what they would have themselves. Can I request that Wikipedia editor do some research and he/she write an article or create a page on the band? If my page cannot be restored, is there any way I can at least access what I posted so that when I create a page (off of Wikipedia), I won't have to try to figure out what I wrote? Thank you for your consideration. Maxx12 (talk) 23:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Request to Undelete Susan_Sexton_(Photographer)Hi, You recently deleted Susan_Sexton_(Photographer). I'm pretty sure I followed the guidelines for creating the page and after the page was marked for quick deletion, I added clarification in the Discussion, as required by wikipedia guidelines. Please note that you deleted a page talking about a professional photographer who was a pioneer in her field and set the stage for hundreds, or thousands, to follow in her footsteps. The page was created in short to set the record straight about the style of photography that she made famous. I'm posting a note about this deletion on a Facebook page dedicated to her memory so the 1,000+ fans know what is going on. I urge you to reconsider your choice to delete the page. I'll happily provide more information about her and her life but it is not the kind of thing a busy adult can do in a single sitting. Sincerely, tedmasterwebify —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tedmasterwebify (talk • contribs) 14:16, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alex, Thanks for offering to userfy the article, but I'm confident I can provide you with a long-ish list of reliable secondary sources that are independent of Susan testifying to her role in the dressage photography world. In fact, many of the links are on her home page on susansexton.com. Once I have the full list compiled, where should I post this information? Here? TIA tedmasterwebify —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tedmasterwebify (talk • contribs) 00:38, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
Ok, here's one, but I suggest you go to her home page where you'll see a list of links to other people's (and companies') sites talking about her passing. If it keeps getting deleted, I'll deal with that then. I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect people to post only completely finished works on a wiki, but I understand that you don't make policy! Thanks again. tedmasterwebify Tedmasterwebify (talk) 13:37, 17 November 2010 (UTC) Hi Alex, Any progress on this? Am I missing any documentation? I'm pretty sure I followed your instructions...

Beastiepaws (talk) 03:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC) Supernova CultHello, you deleted the sourced article about the company Supernova Cult for A7. This company has notoriety in Luxembourg for pioneering the gothic scene, alternative fashion industry and also for being one of the first successful e-business of this country (and still is among the leading companies in that domain to this day). According to the definition under A7, "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines." Should the article have failed to explicitly express the above mentioned reasons for notoriety, please undelete and allow me to correct the article accordingly. If you think the article is not relevant on international level and thus for English language, please be aware that in Luxembourg there are so many different languages that are being spoken, that in fact the only common language is English, so writing the article in English makes sense. Should you still think the article deserves deletion, a quick "in-depth" summary of why (or suggestions of improvement) would be helpful to improve my future contributions. Thanks and best regards.

Hurr ibn YazidHello, I noticed that you recently deleted the article Hurr ibn Yazid. I'm hoping this is an honest mistake. Hurr is a central figure in Shia Islam.

Page deletionHi Alex. You deleted the "Anthony wellington" page I started today. This was my first entry for Wikipedia, and I do understand why you took it down, I dont agree why.

I just wanted to remind you that temporary page rewrites of copyright problems are not " dependent on a deleted or nonexistent page"--it is dependant on Maali Alasousi, which will probably be gone by the time you see this but which was then very much alive. :) There is a note at the top of such pages that says, along with directions to the users, "Admins: Please don't delete this page unless you are sure it is no longer needed." Please keep an eye out for that when you see a page in the Talk/Temp space, as these are quite common. In this case,no harm was done because the rewrite was not usable anyway, but I just wanted to ask you to keep an eye out for that in the future. Since the link on the template shows a different color when a temporary page has been created, I don't always click on it, so might have missed that there had been a rewrite here. I've been doing it a long time today, though, and was anxious to wrap up, so I was in autopilot mode. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:14, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

please restore 3t europeCan you explain to me why the page was deleted. I was tying to write and maintain a neutral point of view about 3t. The article was not finished and I was about to refer to previous university research and collaboration with universities. I did write an explanation, included in my talk pages, but you still deleted it without any feedback about my explanation. I am struggling to understand why UPS, DHL, Accentue, CPCS Transcom, Capgemini, BMT, Deloitte and other companies can have a page but 3t can't. In terms of intellectual and technological advancement 3t are far and away ahead of these companies, an we have independent university research articles that prove that. What is it about these companies that make them acceptable and how do I go about publishing something similar for 3t?

Stella von MusulinRe: Deleted article on the above subject. Stella von Musulin was one of the most distinguished writers on Austrian history and deserves an entry on Wikipedia. Her book on Vienna in the Age of Metternich is considered a seminal work on the period as is her book 'Austria people and Landscape'. She was also a major anti-Fascist who worked tirelessly for the oppressed in Nazi occupied Austria. I would therefore ask that my article on her be un-deleted. I will update it with further published references to her asap. Many thanks. 86.40.19.108 (talk) 20:32, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
MUSULIN, Stella (Baroness Stella von Musulin)born 1915 was a writer and historian who spent most of her life in Austria. Her books include Austria; People and Landscape and Vienna in the Age of Metternich. She was a close friend of the poet W.H. Auden who lived near the von Musulin family estate Schloss Fridau. Auden took up Austrian residence in 1957 and the two became friends soon after. Auden wrote the Foreword to her seminal book on Austria published by Faber & Faber ‘Austria People and Landscape. She contributed to a wide range of international publications on politics and culture. She spent her later years living in the courtyard wing of Fridau Castle in Lower Austria where she entertained a wide range of writers and intellectuals who sought out her company for her extraordinary intelligence and ready charm which never failed her despite her suffering from Parkinson’s disease in her later years. Stella Musulin was a key part of a core of Viennese intellectual life in the years during which she lived in the Austrian capital. She was also a regular broadcaster on Austrian Radio. She had a wry sense of humour. She once said she could recognise a spy by “looking at the back of his neck!” Vienna had no shortage of spies in the years during which she was resident there. Some biographical details: STELLA MARY BELLAIRS VON SIEGE, BARONESS MUSULIN VON GOMIRJE was the daughter of RHODRI LLOYD-PHILIPPS and Margaret Colville. She was born on 16th July 1915 at Dale Castle Pembrokshire. During WW2 she worked in the Foreign Office and in British Intelligence. She married, 23 June 1946, at Mariazell, Austria: JOHANN EMIL ALEXANDER HELFRIED MARIA VON SIEGE, BARON MUSULIN VON GOMIRJE who was born in 1916, son .of Alexander Emil Maria, Baron Musulin Von Gomirje, Austrian Minister to Berne, and his wife Gerda Maria Louise, d. of Rudolph Friedreich Ernst, Baron Isbary.

Hi Alex, I need you, since this protected page by you expired last week, anonymous persons don't registred and others registred don't stop vandalize the sections about goalscorers. There is discussion about how many goals have Cristiano: Marca (Pichichi organizer) says 15 and LFP (official La Liga organizing body) says 14. The day before expired protection I made a Solomonic solution: make 2 lists, one about official called "Top goalscorers" (old Pichichi Trophy section) and a new list called Pichichi Trophy about goalscorers according to Marca. There are people who unknown differences between two lists which don't stop changing Cristiano goals in one or both lists putting 15 or 14 goals (if this person hates or loves Cristiano), but I'm sure that there are a lot of people who know differences and change to vandalize. Please you must protect both lists, I hate these silly discussion about Cristiano goals but the are a lot of war edits about this discussion. Thank you.

Alade AminuHi there, I am going through some professional basketball player articles and noticed Alade Aminu is a redlink. While I did not write the article, he is notable as having played professionally. Would you please undelete it and I will update it with the needed references? Thanks--TM 21:40, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Request to Reinstate Page Overtone IncHello. I request the page 'Overtone Inc' be restored. The reason(A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content) was given, however I posit that it has demonstrated notoriety through inclusion and discussion in articles for top CRM industry publications as well as its inclusion by renowned technology research firm Gartner in its annual short list of organizations with expertise in natural language processing and text analytics services for the social media . After all, wikipedia is inherently based free form social media text, and Overtone Inc has proven through these articles and research firm publications that it is noted in the social media analytics space. Furthermore, similar entries can be found on wikipedia, such as 'Attensity'. For these reasons, Overtone Inc should be included. Thank you Aabstewart (talk) 19:26, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Please rethink decision to delete pageHi, I am writing because I believe the removal of the page for: ArcheAge was in error. If evidence of this product's importance or relevance is required, it can be provided. For example, here is one such credible source summarizing the industry expectations and business deals behind this upcoming release: Korea Game Watch Thanks in advance for your consideration. Lazdude (talk) 18:15, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
That is partially true, the game has already several closed betas, which means a small portion of the public have had access to it. Also, other direct competitors in the market such as Blade & Soul and Guild Wars 2 (which have their own pages) have more exposure despite being in the same current state.

IDESinc Page DeletedHi Alexf, On Dec 8 we created an account to update our company page on Wikipedia and learned that the page was deleted due to links to our site and that we did not assert the importance or significance of its subject. [[1]]'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=IDES_Inc. Thank you for bringing this to our attention - would it be possible to have the page republished so that we can correct the mis-information for the benefit of Wikipedia users to reference educational and technical information about plastic materials? We believe we can contribute positively, editing and managing our wikipedia page is new to us and years ago an employee created the page and our intent with edits from Dec 8 were to update information and remove links to our website that weren't as important.

However, though many of the talented and notable musicians I worked with are now sadly dead, you can verify the information through Scott English with whom I wrote many songs, one of which was covered by Kansas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_English The main reason I wrote the article is so that people I've worked with, or who have followed my work in the past, have another way to find me, and because I'm grateful to the many talented musicians I've worked with. The full list would be too long for an article, but includes Taj Mahal among others...he, at least, is still alive. 216.228.181.188 (talk) 01:14, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Mick Lee

I declined your speedy deletion request. Whether the claims there ultimately make him notable enough for inclusion, I don't know (though I suspect yes). There is plenty though to make that well out of the realm of A7. LadyofShalott 03:44, 16 December 2010 (UTC) Deleted articleDear Alexf, you have deleted the article Loyang Offshore Supply Base. This article was not new and existed for quiet a while. I think you should have opened a discussion first before deleting this article - always nicer then just deleting without proper checks. This supply base is not only about one company. This supply base is on of the most important Oil & Gas supply bases in Asia. Yes it is run by one company but there are many companies located at the base. I beliefe this article is justified as it was not written as an advertisement. At the end no problem if you would have rewritten parts of it or asked others for help. Would be nice if you can reinstate the article and we can work on it to have it less then an advertisement. --Shorty23sin (talk) 06:58, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Re "Global issues" article deletionHello, I am contacting you re "Global Issues" article that you deleted. The link is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_issues The article contained (1) definition (2) list of the global issues (3) examples of attempts to resolve global issues (4) aaditional sources. The absense of such article, that is actually one of the most important ones (just think about it - Wikipedia has a lot about many things, but does not have the outline of global agenda of mankind), it is very strange. The article has to be improved, but not deleted, i think it is wrong. What else do you think, besides the content that was already there, it shal contain to make you return it?

Nomination of List of Taiwanese travel agencies for deletionHi Alexf, Thanks for the revision. How about if the title is changed to Taiwanese travel agencies?

In my edit summary I said I would take it to AFD, but after a bit of WP:BEFORE research, I don't think that's justified. There appears to be a decent amount of coverage in news sources, particularly around the acquisition of iProvo. So although the article is currently unsourced, I think notability could be established. If you still think it should go to AFD, feel free, but probably it would be better to try adding sources, or perhaps merge it with the much better-written and sourced iProvo article. --RL0919 (talk) 14:49, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

New, Updated Page Creation for "Doan Law Firm"Hi Alex, My name is Ms. LeGrande and I am a resident in Oceanside, California. I created a page for "Doan Law Firm" a few days ago which is a well-known Southern California law firm, especially I know personally of a number of acquaintances who retained their services with bankruptcy, etc in this economic downtime. So I thought I'd create a page for it during this holiday season. I read the explanation for its deletion - lack of significance. I now do acknowledge its lack of significance - it offered some general information but was a little short. To improve on my previous post, I'll take a day or two and gather more facts and make a more encyclopedic/inclusive-of-significance entry. I hope I will have created a fair, standard page then. Please let me know if my updated entry conforms the standards of Wikipedia. I am new to Wikipedia but am already looking forward to get a little more involved! I love Wikipedia personally. Again, I am excited to join Wikipedia and I look forward to get in contact with you. Thank you and happy holidays! Keiteelegrande (talk) 19:53, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Ms. LeGrande

Speedy deletion declined: Pedro ReinhardHello Alexf. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Pedro Reinhard, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 19:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC) article deletedHi. I notice you speedy deleted an article, Power Le Poer Trench, with the rationale "A10: Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic". A couple of minor points on that action. The DNB text I added was not a duplicate, it was a significant expansion, and it had a significant history, my minor copy edit would not be trivial to a new editor. The problem was being discussed, but it cannot be assumed I would work out where my version went; advising editors of deletion is appropriate. I'll also note that no source has been provided for the earlier article's title "William Power le Poer Trench", though the rationale was something about 'Common name' the variant was not forthcoming [2] ... I'll check that again with the editor, but I assume it was their error that caused the duplication of topic. I understand the solution is a to perform a history merge, unless there is a reason to hide revisions, I can explain how to do that if you like. cygnis insignis 03:21, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Gai AssulinHello, just wanted to say a little thanks for making the Gai Assulin page semi-protected. It certainly saves me adjusting the page following the recent out break of vandalism we've been having there. Much appreciated and thank you once again Footballgy (talk) 03:18, 30 December 2010 (UTC) Please restore "Northeastern fine jewelry"Please put our page back small business adding knowledge about jewelry -Haiku- Hi Alexf - My name is Kyrish Iyer, and I work for Northeastern Fine Jewelry. This isn't in anyway shape or form supposed to be an advertisement, but rather a way to increase awareness. We are a small company, but we hold many informational events such as "the 4 C's of diamonds" and "gem masters" where we educate those looking for information. We've had quite a few people who were intrigued with our store history, wanted to know more about what we do, etc., and I thought Wikipedia would be a good way to get this information out. My apologies if it did read all advertisement-y. With your help, I can clean it up more to read more "Encyclopedia-y" I realize you have plenty of businesses in Wikipedia (Toys R us, for instance) and would like to contribute as well.

Continued vandalism of Gai AssulinHello there Alex, could you please take a look at the situation surrounding Raulseixas and his friends 187.55.21.35, 189.30.92.37 and 189.30.112.119. This involves the continued mission to remove infomation from the Gai Assulin page. I suspect the IP accounts to be all Raulseixas and have setup Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Raulseixas as after initially sending a vandalism warning to Raulseixas he ceased his edits from his account but the same disruptive edits continued through the three IP accounts until reverting back to Raul when you semi-protected the page. Though I don't think Raulseixas is vandalising for the sake of it, he so far has refused to communicate or co-operate and despite there being hardened evidence that Assulin in fact was part of the Barcelona first team squad he oddly cannot seem to accept this and continues to remove this from Assulin's info box. Though I am fully aware that Assulin never played a league game for Barcelona, he was still involved in a first team cup match and was handed a first team squad number which would constitute him being a member of the first team squad whether he featured or not he was still contracted to both Barcelona and Barcelona B. I have tried talking to Raulseixas about this and I have sent several vandalism template warnings in an attempt to prevent further disruptive edits but as of yet I have heard nothing from him and these edits continue. As I am not an administrator myself could I please ask could you take a look at the situation. Many Thanks and a Happy New Year Footballgy (talk) 13:18, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
