Vandalism of Jordan Palmer (social activist)The [Jordan Palmer (social activist)] page continues to be vandalized. Can anything be done about this? I am part of the LGBT Project and I am a Kentucky historian. There is a football payer in Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati named Jordan Palmer, and 3 other people, in addition to the other two Wikipedia has referenced. The only reason this one is being targeted I fear is because of his LGBT activism. I contribute as much to Wikipedia as I can, mainly corrections and clean-ups and I would sincerely appreciate any help you could give. The page should possibly be deleted. --Kentucky1333 (talk) 04:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Removal of PROD from Angelo II Gozzadini, Lord of Sifnos and KythnosHello Andyjsmith, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Angelo II Gozzadini, Lord of Sifnos and Kythnos has been removed. It was removed by DGG with the following edit summary '(The source seems generally accurate, so there is no reason to suspect a hoax.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with DGG before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion.

Thanks! User:Faintstarlite —Preceding undated comment added 22:10, 2 October 2009 (UTC). It's not a question of simply editing the page. You have to show that this company is worth an article in an encyclopaedia. Please look at WP:Nfor guidance. andy (talk) 22:18, 2 October 2009 (UTC) CSDHello. When requesting speedy deletion, please take the time to check that the articles really do meet the requirements. S U C K S E S S is not a band, it's an album and actually from a fairly notable band.

What is it about the company that you believe is notable? I'm not averse to restoring it if you are able to answer that. Deb (talk) 16:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

As a plant breeder i feel it important for them to be highlighted here for others to learn about, and it is pleasing that you have found that the article is not an advert, but does need more work to point out the noteworthyness of the organisation. Unfortunately most of the third party information to substantiate the article is offline content, from various journals going back many years. Should I reference these in the normal way and add in to the article? Unfortunately most horticultural trade stuff for which this is worth mentioning on wikipedia is offline, so difficult to point out websites with details of their significance. Also, websites that mention them in the past are renewed as more new material is bought to the fore, so makes it not so easy finding the references you need?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GE100 (talk • contribs) 17:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
"Inappropriate bios"Please see my comments at the talk page re Maritza Davila: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Maritza_Davila It is an open question as to what is inappropriate, as well as what is what is a POV assessment of a bio and what is a hasty decision.Dogru144 (talk) 00:57, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Andyjsmith, Got your message re Fawcett Society and Beveridge Report. Yes, I see your point. However, I still think the bulk of my contributions were factual, and should be included in wikipedia in revised form/rephrased. I have put proposals on the respective talk pages. Cheers, cagliost (talk) 14:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC) Brandonblv2's blockA message on his talk page warned him that he was blocked indefinately, but you still warned him that one of his articles was up for speedy deletion. Does this mean that he has NOT been blocked? --Delta1989 (talk/contributions) 00:10, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Zinstall_XP7 speedy deletion tagSorry for the misunderstanding. I have just started writing the article - it obviously won't just stay an infobox. Please wait for a day, and then please decide if this is an advert or a legit article. I hope you will find the article improved shortly. Samfranker (talk) 13:55, 8 November 2009 (UTC) UPD: I have added content to the article in question. Please tell me if this still violates any standards, and I will fix accordingly. I have recently gave a talk on the subject of virtualization and migration at my uni, and am editing the relevant articles where I see things missing. Zinstall was missing altogether, that's why I had to start it. Please forgive me for lack of experience in editing the articles - I would be very glad if you could verify my other edits are up to par. Many thanks, Sam.

This article was deleted in error. They are most definitely notable. Their 125th birthday prompted an article in the North West Mail. I could list many other such articles. I have recreated the article accordingly (though I am not the original creator).GordyB (talk) 23:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

CASHXHi Andy, We are trying to create a page for researchers including ourselves to put information about this new research tool. There are many groups around the world working with and adding to the development of the CASHX pipeline. Also there are many publications in press that will be referencing this tool in the next weeks and months. This is a start page just like the page BLAT_(bioinformatics). Also I am new at this can you tell me what I am missing to make this comply? Thanks. Sullichr (talk) 19:26, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Removal of Factual Information About Michael lumbs personal lifeThe removal of factual information, regarding michael lumbs engagement, and interesting trivia regarding his fiance's brother, is all factual and i believe an interesting read, which lightens up a slightly boring article about a respected cricketeer. In no way is it disruptive content. Could you please enlighten me as to why you believe it to be disruptive? The definition of Disruption is "To throw into confusion or disorder." My information regarding Michael lumb, whom i respect, does not throw the article into confusion, it is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucas191092 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Zalvar lopezYou've just notified me about this; I didn't create the page, I moved the page to the userpage of the person who wrote the autobio; I guess they then changed it from being a redirect (with R3 CSD) to being a full page again. You may wish to notify them instead. Pseudomonas(talk) 13:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Prod is only for articles that can be deleted without any doubt. This cannot. If you're worried about its notability (and I must say I'm not convinced) it needs to go to AfD. --Dweller (talk) 14:40, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Tagging of PhygitalI recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Phygital. I do not think that Phygital fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because a Google search shows that this is not a hoax, although whether it is notable is a different matter. I request that you consider not re-tagging Phygital for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. You are, of course, free to tag the article with {{prod}} or nominate it at WP:AFD.

Deleting yet another 0XQ page of word salad. More aggressive steps to take?Greetings, I see you've also been concerned about the many highly-disjointed and "fringe interest" (to put it mildly) articles created by 0XQ. I just put another article of his, Dajjal flag, up for deletion. A small sample of the content:
Yep. So at what point do we say that this editor is an extremely determined hoaxster, or is displaying (too put it as diplomatically as possible) personal traits not appropriate for a Wikipedia editor? MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:53, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
PublishingTranslation is an official stage in publishing outside of the UK and the US since most books of this world are written in English. So, I think that that stage should remain under publishing. It is not my POV, but a fact and if you ask any publisher they will agree on that. So it should be noted somewhere under publishing, because it is a major stage which can delay the publishing date by months if the translation is not good. Thank you!

What's happeningPart of the answer to your question can be found in the earliest entries here [3], and the rest in off-wiki bulletin boards.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 03:58, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Despite userid JohnnyB256's attempt to poison the well by citing Cla's block log, I think you'll find Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Mantanmoreland and Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/C68-FM-SV far more instructive reading. ...because Cla turned out to be right about the whole thing. It was never conclusively proven "OnWiki" that Mantanmoreland was Gary Weiss... but it's commonly accepted as true by most intelligent folk. Mantanmoreland is restricted to one account now, instead of being allowed to sock freely. And restricted to not using proxies. JohnnyB256 has carefully avoided socking and carefully avoided using proxies so if he IS Gary Weiss/Mantanmoreland, he's not in violation of the case restrictions. But his POV pushing tendencies are pretty obvious whether he's Weiss or not. Keep that in mind when you read what he has to say. ++Lar: t/c 17:00, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Bernard CheeseHi, just to let you know, I replaced your G1 tag with {{db-bio}} (A7) because, unfortunately, "implausible theories, vandalism and hoaxes" are explicitly excluded from G1. All the best, HJMitchell You rang? 11:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
New Testament as political satireThis article is in no way a hoax nor inappropriate. Andyjsmith is apparently quite ignorant of the critical-historical literature on this topic.
Political Satirehttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:0XQ&diff=cur#Important_warning.21 This false allegation of vandalism is based on the quite legimate making of a link to an already-existing WIKIPEDIA article on the same subject, quite well-backed by established literary sources, various books by professors at major universities in the United States and the United Kingdom.0XQ (talk) 13:24, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I've declined your G2 tagging of this page, since I believe it was a good-faith attempt at an article rather than a test page as such. Cheers, Olaf Davis (talk) 13:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: RedEye On DemandHello Andyjsmith. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of RedEye On Demand, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Links provided, whilst straying towards press releases, and particularly some of their content, are a credible assertion of notability for A7. PROD or take to AfD if necessary. Thank you. GedUK 12:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Given the number of references on the Fortus article, including Forbes Businesswire and the book "Rapid Prototyping", I don't think the article satisfies WP:CSD#A7. If you disagree, feel free to take the article to WP:AFD. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 22:54, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion NominationI see that you tagged one of my pages for speedy deletion, despite it being of acceptable Wikipedia quality (crap, but still better then the vast majority on this appalling site). It seems that there is a hierarchy at Wikipedia that just shows the high level of discrimination us ordinary users have to put up with. The admins use bullying tactics to stop acceptable quality articles, such as my latest entry . This must be stopped if Wikipedia is to move forward.
