Msoamu revisionismI noticed that you prevented some of User:Msoamu's revisionism here. I filed an ANI report which a number of users contributed to regarding his revisionism and refusal to engage in discussion, but an admin told me it was overly long and might not be read, which seems to have happened. If you do have the time, he has been quite active in trying to prevent any other editors from contributing to Barelvi, Wahhabi and Ahl al-Hadith - all of them also Muslim religious movements. If you see the talk pages, you will see a lot of personal attacks as well. I'm just asking because so far nothing has been done but this user is basically trying to force all others off of these articles. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:49, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Why did you tag this article for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#A7 20 minutes after it was created, even though it was sourced to The Guardian, and that newspaper's article discussed the pros and cons of the service in some depth? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:44, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Reversion at List of inventorsSee your revert here. I'm not sure that he did invent it; reference for that? Hehe. Keri (talk) 21:53, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Meetings, incentives, conferencing, exhibitionsThanks, I took too much when deleting the ttgmice spam link.

TalkbackHello, Andyjsmith. You have new messages at Gary Dee's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. I'll restore the rest of those links today.--Anderson I'm Willing To Help 21:24, 24 July 2013 (UTC) Dailygalaxy.comI've restored the dailygalaxy links across all the articles it was removed from.--Anderson I'm Willing To Help 21:33, 24 July 2013 (UTC) I came across the this AFD and in exploring how to !vote, I ended up researching and rewriting the article from scratch. Since the current version differs dramatically from the one you (reasonably!) voted to delete, can you review the current version and reconsider? Abecedare (talk) 22:34, 29 September 2013 (UTC) Dundee F.C.Just as a heads-up, on Dundee F.C., upon closer examination, Georgeframe's edit was actually vandalism.

Effects of microgravity known to have serious adverse health effects.Andy, regarding your reasoning for editing the "Differences" bullet point on Mars microgravity
Low gravity and microgravity are the same thing! And the effects of microgravity are WELL ESTABLISHED and about which scientists do not debate, causing muscle loss, bone loss, and increased near-sightedness. Even in another item on the SAME WIKI PAGE for this, Mar’s gravity is described as one-third that of Earth. This means MICROGRAVITY! Microgravity doesn’t mean or imply “zero-G.” Microgravity is ANY KIND OF GRAVITY THAT IS LESS THAN THE FULL GRAVITY OF EARTH! Mars, of course, isn’t zero-G, but it most certainly and obviously has MICROGRAVITY!!! The 6 people living on the ISS constitutes more than substantial research.
Microgravity is microgravity, it doesn't matter if it's on the ISS, the Moon, or wherever. Furthermore it's not like it would be all or none. The effects of microgravity would be matters of degree, based on the extent of the microgravity, which has been shown in the lunar astronauts, the Space Shuttle, and people living for the last 10 years (in 3-6 month increments) on the ISS.
Proposed deletion tag on Bangkok MICE TourismHello, I have removed the WP:PROD on Bangkok MICE Tourism as I believe the article is useful addition to WP:TOURISM. Further I have edited some of the details of the article which I found might be a bit promotional. If you still have any objection please discuss it on the talk page Talk:Bangkok MICE Tourism or try to edit the article as you feel necessary wherever. Regards Mr RD (talk) 18:45, 7 December 2013 (UTC) TipHi! A PROD tag of yours was manually removed by User:Mr RD. One tip: If you want Twinkle to keep track of all pages you PROD so you can see the outcome: Please visit your Twinkle preferences panel. Enable "Keep a log in userspace of all pages you tag for PROD". You may also enable "Keep a log in userspace of all CSD nominations" if you like. Then click the "Save changes" button at the bottom. Cheers! —Unforgettableid (talk) 00:20, 26 December 2013 (UTC) Ta. I didn't know that. andy (talk) 01:09, 26 December 2013 (UTC) Hi Andy. This is my first use of Talk, please advise if I use improper format. The "Wikipedia's hidden manuals" didn't provide complete how-to. For instances, you added a message in my Talk page: should I have replied there instead of here? Anyways, thanks for the revisions. I still debate whether or not the Globus article should be referenced in Air navigation. After all, many techniques and instruments used on spacecraft originated in aeronautics, as you know, and the frame of reference for an Earth-orbital flight is based on the ground track like aircraft's. François Guay (talk) 00:45, 27 December 2013 (UTC) OxfamI will discuss the matter on the Talk Page. But I do not see how the material I inserted was more controversial than that which existed before. The pre-existing entry was full of accusatory weasel words that clearly betray a pro-Israel bent. And the section I edited was about Israel and Palestine, and contained assertions - exclusively assertions from a pro-Israel POV - about the nature of the conflict and its consequences on the people living there. See the following passage that you insist on reinserting onto the article:
This is not neutral; the bias of whoever wrote it is showing a bit too much; it's clear that, as it is, the passage is violating Wikipedia's NPOV policy, and siding with the pro-Israel accusators. Yet you don't have a problem with it. I was making it neutral, I was inserting not personal commentary, like that passage's editor did, but a wealth of data on this sense. And by the way, if we have to include a pro-Israel NGO's bitching about Oxfam's findings on the impact of Israel's occupation on Palestinian economy, why not the findings that other institutions have independently arrived on the same matter?

I actually said '"nowhere"! andy (talk) 08:45, 28 January 2014 (UTC) SpaceXI'll give two. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdvv8qIl_WI "Hi, I'm Tom Mueller, Vice President of prpoulsio n here at SpaceX, "I'm a co-founder of the company" A reliable source? I think the fact that Tom Mueller himself said so is pretty reliable... or the fact that the video was made by SpaceX and is on the SpaceX channel. 2. Furthermore you can read the Popular Mechanics article 'The Full story behind Elon Musk, and Tom Mueller's SpaceX' It tells how Elon approached Mueller before the company was formed about building rockets, Musk then said if Musk financed it would Mueller build the rockets. The company was CO-founded a few months later. I'm not sure why the fact that Musk can fire Mueller is a reason for him not being a co-founder. This is usually the case. I am sick and tired of the correct information being changed on Wikipedia. Just because something popular belief doesn't mean it is true. Case in point Musk being the co-founder of Tesla Motors. Therefore i would suggest you change the page back. On a secondary note, concerning his occupation, by definition he is not an inventor. The only thing that he could possibly be mistaken for inventing his hyperloop. However he has said himself he conceptualised the idea, and tasked his engineers as Tesla and SpaceX to coming up with the schematics (don't think he specified whether he contributed to math and engineering tasks, though given his lack of training it would suggest not). Since we are only listing significant occupations, I chose not to include 'conceptualiser' nor inventor because they are not one of the same. CHARLIEPHILLIPS00 (talk) 19:17, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
Youtube is not a reliable source, but the fact that it comes from one of the leading SpaceX 'people' and was uploaded by the OFFICIAL SpaceX channel, created by SPACEX is a reliable source. Secondly, PayPal was co-founded by Musk, Levchin, Theil, Howery & Nosek. He is not a single founder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CHARLIEPHILLIPS00 (talk • contribs) 20:16, 22 February 2014 (UTC) Hi Andy!But the editor who removed all that text was blocked, right? Do you think that there was still a consensus in favor of that action? Regards. --Damián A. Fernández Beanato (talk) 21:21, 18 April 2014 (UTC) MarsMarsadvexpdev (talk) 20:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC) Then why have you not deleted: Conceptual Space Vehicle Architecture for Human Exploration of Mars (2012) - an item which contains a single paragraph and a reference to a single AIAA paper. Per my last message - what is the difference between at least this item and mine? and what about all the other comments I made on items there that should be either modified heavily or removed altogether. It this is truly to be a useful Encyclopedia. There are just too many inconsistencies on this whole page.
Edit war.You may like to take another look at the edit-war going on at "Skyhook (structure)" so that it can be dealt with accordingly. - 79.67.245.44 (talk) 09:40, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
Skyhooks and MarsAndy, I have responded to your note on my Talk board. I am uncertain if I should do that there, here, or both? Skyhook1 (talk) 21:50, 4 March 2014 (UTC) It appears you also removed a link I added to the "See Also" section of Mars Direct as irrelevant. How is a link to another Earth-Mars transportation system not relevant? The transportation system proposed in Mars Direct might work for a start-up situation but sooner or later there will be a need for a more substantial, more capable, transportation system. The link you removed is one possible solution to that issue. If you have another reason for removing it please state it, but non-relevance isn't relevant :) Skyhook1 (talk) 06:23, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Event Standard SyndicationI reverted your PROD of Event Standard Syndication as the article doesn't meet the PROD criteria. (It was already proposed for deletion in the past.) However, I have proceeded to make a full deletion nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Event Standard Syndication, at which you are welcome to participate. —Psychonaut (talk) 08:11, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Space ColoniesAndy - I am sorry that you removed the information I added to the Space Colonies wikipage. I added 'a reason' for space colonies that many people hold to be valid, so I do not understand what is not neutral about that. I don't understand why there would be any objection to this addition. If you object to the fact that I reference my own work in this regard, I get that. At the same time, my edits represent an important dimension of the space expansion discussion that needs to be included. Please reconsider you objection, or at least advise me how to modify my entry so that the essential content can be included on the page in an acceptably neutral way. Regards, Steve (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:48, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on Draft talk:Remote fuel propulsionThank you for your time and input Andy! I have placed a request for comments on the Help Desk but there may already be a solution at hand in my response to you. The alternate article name I suggested on the draft page is something that seems excessively wordy and annoying, but holds the same meaning. At your convenience, I would appreciate it if you would return to the talk page and evaluate the alternate article name I mentioned. Matthewhburch (talk) 17:33, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi AndyRemember you removed my restoration of Colonization of Mars's lead paragraph? Well, not it has an ugly opening banner saying that it needs a longer lead paragraph... So wich one is it? Should I restore my restoration? Regards. --Damián A. Fernández Beanato (talk) 18:50, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Andy, related to Proposed deletion of WhovaI just updated some information in Whova page, add more citations for address the notability of Whova. 1. Sorry, we didn't update many citation in our external links which will demonstrate the notability of Whova 2. also for the NSF award, it's not easy to get. And it's not business grant, it's U.S.A government award it. it has major different with business grant. 3. Would you let us know the criteria of Wikipedia for these kind of software notability issue? in this case, we can avoid deletion in future. Sorry to take your time to handle our case. Another things is I delete the top deletion section when I update the content. is that okay? or I need your permission to do that? Thank you so much Andy.

Edwards as the research on the space elevator for NASA makes everything connected to it notable even if you dont like the whole idear. You can try AFD if you like, In the way you used PROD on this article i would say you are trying to evade discussing about deleting this article which is not what PROD was ment for. I'm pretty sure you are aware that there is still editing going on on the main article space elevator and you could have discussed it with them.

Image on Event Planning articleThe image I added to the merged Event planning/Event management article seemed entirely appropriate to me and was not intended as a joke - I mean the topic isn't "Event planning in the 21st century in Anglophone culture". There have been large-scale trade shows, academic conferences, and international industry-and-culture fairs like the Pan-American Exposition going on well back into the 19th century (browse through some of the Google Books trade magazines or academic journals from a century ago and you'll see articles about them) and presumably there are similar phenomena going back much further that a full encyclopedic article on this topic would need to cover... per the talk page, this is just a stub-class article at this point. Unless, is there a more general article on the topic I'm missing due to terminology I'm unaware of? Cheers, ▸₷truthious Ⓑandersnatch◂ 18:02, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Oxfam historyHi Andy, I noticed that you reverted my changes to the history section of the Oxfam page. You claim that my changes were repetitious and confusing. I deemed the changes I made to be perfectly valid and helpful. Could you please explain in more detail how my changes were repetitious and confusing? While my edited version may not be as concise as the previous revision, I feel as though the information I added is important and improves the section. Many thanks, Luke

Elon Musk Inventor/engineerYou're the one pushing your point of view, supposing that just because one article states it, and you believe in it then it must be correct. I can find articles calling him a douche-bag, but that doesn't make it true or noteworthy. You are using the title engineer on a literal basis i.e. anyone who creates something, indecently then most people are engineers. He is not a certified engineer, therefore legally cannot work as an engineer, he also does not build anything. He has basic aesthetic design inputs at SpaceX, this does not make him an engineer, and labelling him as one may mislead people to think he's the one building rockets and hyperloop which s absolutely is not. Just because he or you would call him one, does not make it so. Heuh0 (talk) 05:22, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
