About Ms Sima yariForwarded Message ---- From: Dr. Abbas Milani amilani@stanford.edu Sent: Fri, October 22, 2010 9:14:53 AM Subject: "Sima Yari " Dear Sir/Madam: It has come to my attention that the entry on Ms Sima Yari has been, for some reason, eliminated from the Wikipedia. I know of her work, her published poetry, and the defiance of her voice. May be it is just this defiance that has caused the malignant urge of some unknown force or person to try to eliminate her. I have been under the impression that yours is a site given to the democratic reflection of a plurality of voices; judgment on the ultimate quality of each voice is up to the readers and critics, and should not be left to those who have the patience or know-how to act as censors and forces of elimination. There is often not much of a distance between elimination from the page to elimination from the public domain, and even more, physical elimination. We must stop the shameful process where it begins. Restate her entry for she deserves presence, and not elimination. Best, Abbas Milani
clarification please...You closed Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Ibrahim Zeidan reports Abu Zubaydah image used as an interrogation tool. But you didn't explicitly say why you closed it as "delete". After re-reading WP:NOTWEBHOST I honestly don't see how this section of WP:NOT, cited by practically everyone who weighed in on the discussion, is relevant. To what extent should I regard your closure as an endorsement of their WP:NOTWEBHOST sentiments? Geo Swan (talk) 15:31, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Cirt, you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/88.7 FM Campbell River, British Columbia as delete and deleted the redirect 88.7 FM Campbell River, British Columbia. Would you delete CHVI-FM as well? (The article was moved to that title during the AfD discussion.) Thanks, Cunard (talk) 02:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Confusion over article creationHello Cirt. I just thought that I would let you know that the message that you left for Bradley0110 about the article Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (film) probably should have been left on the talk page for User:The Editor 155. In looking at the edit history here [1] Bradley created a redirect in '08. Then last week The Editor undid that redirect and created the article. Please don't think that this message is stating that you did anything wrong. I thought that the situation is a little confusing so I hoped that this info might help. Cheers and happy editing.

Your GA nomination of Beautiful HeartacheThe article Beautiful Heartache you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold The Irving Literary Society (Cornell University) - bit of a messHi there, I'm contacting you because you because you handled the original restoration of the article after this deletion review . Following User:Racepacket's recent move of The Irving Literary Society (Cornell University) to Cornell literary societies and subsequent editing, User:Cmagha has cut and pasted the original version of that article to The Irving Literary Society and in the process removed all the edit history as well as creating an unattributed content fork. Also, Talk:The Irving Literary Society (Cornell University)/Archive 1 was not moved when Talk: The Irving Literary Society (Cornell University) was moved to Talk:Cornell literary societies and is now stranded, although I've added a link to it at the newly titled talk page.Could you sort this out, if nothing else to merge the page histories?

DeletionUser:Sandbox for user warnings - why? THEMONO™ 02:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Harsh?Hi Cirt. I'd suggest that this [5] is rather harsh and not even handed. I suspect from his/her posts that English is not a first language and from reading multiple posts the editor sometimes uses the language in a way that is not customary for a native speaker. As well, this is a contentious article and contentious discussion and there are some clear good faith concerns, which we are hopefully dealing with on the talk page. Unfortuantaly your warning isolates one editor when there are other editor concerns. Edith says the comments were not personal and given the language situation, I would tend to accept that. At any rate this is just my opinion. Best wishes.(olive (talk) 04:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC))
OzHarvest DeletionHi Cirt, On september 1st, 2009 Our page under "OzHarvest" was deleted. Is it possible for us to get this page back? Thankyou, Regards MichelleOz —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichelleOz (talk • contribs)
Opps, yes. Sorry S.G.(GH) ping! 17:19, 26 October 2010 (UTC) Hey Cirt, I'm coming back to you in regards to the article on Eirtakon, as you were the closing admin on the last AfD. We've done a bit of work to the article, adding more RS', and updating the event information as of the current year, and I was going to run it by you whether or not it's suitable enough to go back into mainspace. It's not the best, I'll admit, but to be perfectly honest it's better than some of the current articles about other anime cons in Europe (e.g. Animefest, AniMatsuri (Estonia), Rumicon just to name a few). Also along those lines, would uploading an image for use in the infobox be pushing it, or...? Thanks for your time. TheChrisD Rants•Edits 15:51, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: extremedbIt seems to me these review periods were brief, and it seems likely that only a limited number of persons contributed to the discussion. I know that I would have added my thoughts if I'd known a discussion of this article was taking place. After the first "defense" of the article, the deletion request was withdrawn. And then a second deletion proposal was raised and quickly finalized without any defense being given. Arguments in favor of the article, stated in the first defense, received no response. Instead, the article was deleted based on (as far as I can see) two rather vague _opinions_ (not arguments). Do you not agree? I request that the discussion be reopened so that questions can be properly addressed. As I understand it, this is possible on Wikipedia. Svpcom (talk) 21:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Unblock request on hold; you blocked the range. Thanks. Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:20, 27 October 2010 (UTC) DeletionI noticed you deleted Alliance of Valiant Arms unfortunately that deletion was discussed by people who really had no idea about the subject and who were incapable of finding the sources. Somehow I missed the notification that it had been put up for deletion. As was mentioned in the deletion discussion, the game is used to compete at a national level, it's one of the most popular shooters in Korea, it's published by a well known publisher (all of which satisfy notability requirements for western games), and searching an actual korean site for the name of the game generates nearly 10,000 hits [6], mind you there is a little overlap with the group Abba. So searching for the groups name and the korean word for"game" which narrows it down (but still drops some legitimate results) gives us over 1100 news results [7].I'll give you an opportunity restore it before I take it to DRV.--Crossmr (talk) 23:29, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Just thought I'd let you know that I courtesy blanked this AFD because I'm not sure if the subject is the same "Yuri Rutman that Truebobjohnson is talking about.

Hi Cirt, I'm wondering why you deleted rather than redirected here. It seems like a darn reasonable redirect. Hobit (talk) 00:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Pittsburgh Tri-State(Breathing exercise) It seems that you were simply doing your job clearing monthly delete nominees. However (although not required) I would have imagined a "Tri-State" "regional" article would have given a heads up to the Wikiproject or Portal or page creator and chief contributor. I think what may have happened here is a diagnosis was decided on the heart without talking to any cardiologists (even though they are by very definition biased). The page was a long long time contribution to Wiki with tons of sources cited that by they're very nature seem to have been used as a justification for its deletion (reading the 25 something day thread). I have to admit this is a first for me, sources for an article being the reason for its deletion, (Akron, West Virginia are sourced by some authorities as included others as not included etc.). I would be happy to re-edit or clarify this article up to higher standards if need be (as many Pgh project members would be) but as best I can tell beyond not consulting anyone with knowledge of the subject, the only rationale was that there were slightly divergent source material. That is a dangerous precedent for the vast majority of articles on wiki, sources rarely define subject matter exactly alike. Again trying to piece this together looks like it was simply a housecleaning move by yourself, not a judgment in any way but I will be happy to strengthen this article. Also the Pittsburgh Metro Area article is in no way similar, it is rigidly defined by the CBO and Census, although I could see a single article encompassing both however I don't see a lot of precedent for that on wiki. Thank you for your consideration and please consider allowing project members to discuss and improve this page. Hholt01 (talk) 02:38, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
deletion review: Lee ZalbenI would like to request a deletion review for Lee Zalben. In addition to being the Founder of Peanut Butter & Co, Lee is a published author and contributor to other writer's cookbooks, and also writes a weekly column for the food blog Serious Eats. In addition to media coverage that has come through Peanut Butter & Co, Lee has been profiled by various media including The New York Times and Gourmet News, and is a frequent source for journalists seeking commentary on the natural and specialty food business. Lee's page perhaps needed to be updated with more third party indicators of notariety, which we would like the opportunity to correct.Zalben (talk) 02:55, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking you for help. There's been an MFD discussion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:Magyar Televízió/draft open for 17 days now, and Ged UK tells me that you work in deletion discussions and suggested you might be able to help (he is involved in this and related articles, and so cannot take any action himself).

Re: ron ritzman/yuri rutman deletionYou suggested he is more in the loop. He said this was all your recommendation. Regardless of what this is Here is my post to him and his response. Would appreciate if you also checked your facts on this and other individuals. Re: yuri rutman deletion I am curious as to where you correlated the Yuri Rutman Wikipedia article with a "spammer" and for dubious sources as a way to delete a profile on him. It seems there are several Yuri Rutman's on google. You also referenced "not prominent or questionable sources" Please verify your sources on imdbpro.com and ask how him producing a film that is being directed by one of the most prominent film directors in the world and is being co-produced by company that recently made a Jessica Biel and Milla Jovovich film is "dubious" along with 6 other films his company is currently producing and financing. IMDBPRO does not list credits unless they do extensive due diligence. Further, you referenced that press releases were written by him or his company. Please check your facts again when MSNBC recently profiled him at http://www.cnbc.com/id/39342145/Investing_In_The_Big_Screen_Can_Be_A_Profitable_Story as well as numerous prominent private equity and hedge fund publications http://www.hedgeweek.com/2010/02/02/32989/noci-targets-hedge-fund-investors-film-finance. These publications do extensive due diligence. If there is some sort of personal bias between you and one of the Mr. Rutman's which is indexed more than ten years ago in a newsgroup post your referenced, its highly suggested you check your facts and do your homework before arbitrarily trying to identify one individual as someone else and can fall into an area of slander and libel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.57.196.84 (talk) 03:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC) Two points... 1. I did not close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yuri Rutman or delete the article, Cirt did.

Closed AfDHi - could you please explain why you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jimbo Matison merely hours after I asked an important question to one of the two people who voted delete on the page? Work was still being done on the article - it had only been recently noticed by the Articles for Rescue people. I don't believe consensus had been reached in one way or the other - it had no votes at all until the AfR people came on, at which point two delete votes came within one day, and that sparked a discussion. Should it not have at least been allowed to run the full week? Tduk (talk) 06:19, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Tduk, I strongly suggest that you take Cirt up on his offer to userfy the article because he has already given you his answer WRT restoring to mainspace. Currently the article has two sources that "might" satisfy WP:N depending on who you ask so it has a chance. If you can find a few more then the new draft can be submitted to deletion review. This may be the only way you are going to get the article restored. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 17:12, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
Raelism articlesI think that there is some good reason to believe the content related to Raelism may be at least a bit excessive. Raëlian Church membership estimates strikes me as being at least one of the articles which is probably questionable.

I am on that basis starting a discussion there. Please feel free to take part. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 13:34, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

RiotsHow come Uncle G got a star on his talk page for Cincinnati Riots of 1884 and I didn't? He suggested the topic, and he dug up some of the sources, but I started it and wrote most of the content. I am deeply hurt... Just kidding - forget it. Really. :~) Despite appearances, I have no interest at all in collecting awards. Nobody I know in the real world would be impressed, even if they knew I had this hobby, and no editors I respect would be at all impressed. Seriously though, I see on the DYK talk page concerns that there are not enough articles. When I am on a roll, I may churn out three or four obscure little articles like this in a week. If they technically qualify they will usually be accepted, and the ones I start will usually technically qualify: long enough, grammatical, sourced, no copyvio etc.. But is there a type of article that is not being submitted enough? Subject no object - I like to research and write up subjects I previously knew nothing about. And should I submit them at all when an important function of DYK is to encourage new editors? Any advice? Aymatth2 (talk) 16:19, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

We have a common irritantHi! I'm contacting you because I see from Dreadarthur's talk page that you've had issues with this user's conduct on Wikipedia in the past. I've had dealings with him in the past too, on a couple of articles, although I should stress that these dealings were not hostile. Nonetheless, I do have major issues with the way he edits. He adds lots of material without citing verifiable sources, and on the odd occasion that he does add sources they often don't meet the reliable sources criteria. From his talk page, I see that a number of other editors have warned him about this in the past. In addition, he also clutters up the "References" section of articles that he works on with lots of non-sourced notes that are, at best, non-essential and at worst, totally irrelevant to the subject of the article. Just take a look at his recent work on the Michael Clarke page - poorly sourced and with a References section that's cluttered up with lots of largely irrelevant info. He also doesn't use the correct citation templates for inline refs, which is surprising considering how much editing he does. In short, for such a regular contributor to Wikipedia, he's quite a poor Wikipedian in my opinion. I'm not sure how best to proceed with my issues regarding this user, and that's why I'm approaching you I guess. With regards his improper use of the "References" section, obviously inline citations can be used for information that doesn't sit well within the main body of the text, but it's obvious to anyone that this should be the exception rather than the rule. I'm very tempted to go at the Michael Clarke article and strip out almost all of Dreadarthur's recent additions or perhaps revert to the edit immediately prior to his recent additions. Maybe that's a bit extreme and heavy handed though...then again, maybe it’s not. Verifiability is very important on Wikipedia and this user seems hell bent on ignoring that fact. Any thoughts on how I should proceed? --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 18:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Brian CliftonDear, you have deleted my article regarding the Belgian film composer Brian Clifton. This article was well written and is concerning a composer who has written the music for over 25 movies of which 2 American movies. There are almost none Belgian composers who have written for an American director, except Brian Clifton. This composer is surely not an unknown composer and has written music for known Belgian and Dutch movies. He's mentioned on the Internet Movie Database and on all major movie sites. So, I don't see any reason why this article was deleted. I had no idea that there was a discussion about the article, I've constated it just today... Could you please revert this deletion? It's also undeclarable why the author of the article (me) was not informed regarding the possible deletion. Could you please do the necessary? Maybe I can add some sources to be more reliable if that wasn't already the case. Thanks.Christo jones (talk) 19:12, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

You're very welcomeIt was my pleasure to read your new article on what sounds like a rather good children's book. Invertzoo (talk) 14:00, 3 November 2010 (UTC) Hi, could you reconsider your username block of this user (which I have unblocked under the usual condition that they submit an username change)? I believe that it is really a bit far-fetched to believe that his username represents a pair of breasts (which I also think are really nice things and not offensive at all :-). You may also want to refer the case to a discussion at WP:RFCN. Thanks, Sandstein 21:07, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Your commentsHi friend. You have misunderstood some points while writing comments on my talk page. Regarding your first comment about Islam page, the dispute is solved on 15 October, and the current dispute is related to anthropomorphism in Islam. Regarding edit war, you didn't pay attention what's going on there, and I don't understand why you left the vandal user and writing to me. I did what you mentioned in your coments [13], and we discussed in detail [14], and the vandal user wrote this and while neglected all the warnings [15] [16], he started vandalising that page. I hope my explanation be enough for you to delete your comments from my talk page, as I have always respected wikipedia's rules and I don't want to be accused for vandalism. Thanks and sorry for taking your time.--Aliwiki (talk) 23:21, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Portals and referencesAfter reviewing my portal at FPOC, Rodw had an interesting question about the references (or lack of them) in portals here, which I tried to answer here. Any thoughts from your esteemed position? BencherliteTalk 13:45, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
You reported this person to Administrator intervention against vandalism and I initially blocked this person but on closer examination of their edits, I believe they were trying to make good faith edits however incorrect they might be.

Are you trying to censor me ? Please explain.

Israel-Palestine editingHi Cirt, following the recent deterioration in editing of the Israel-Palestine set of articles, I've set up a page to discuss the problem and possible solutions at Wikipedia:WikiProject Arbitration Enforcement/Israel-Palestine articles. Your input would be appreciated. PhilKnight (talk) 15:12, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi there Cirt. Thanks for closing the above discussion. I know it wasn't particularly difficult to discern the consensus... Anyhow, part of the nomination is a request to delete the past history of User:Studiodan; I know that's an unusual request, but that history duplicates the objectionable material and isn't needed for attribution of the current block template. Do you mind doing that? I really see no need to retain any trace of this material. Thanks in advance for your reply. — Gavia immer (talk) 19:18, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Amotz Shemi finished his PhD in Astrophysics but for the past 7 years has been involved in the bio-med world (Medinol & Silenseed). I understood in the past that the page was deleted as there was confusion if this was one person or two combined. Could you please let me know if it was deleted for a different reason?

Looking for your input on this articleHi Cirt, Jeff Bedford here. Over the past week, having searched for "Royal Holiday Club" and coming across an AfD discussion, I thought I could be of help as I am familiar with the subject matter. I am not employed by the organization; however as it happens they have been a client of my employer in the past and I see it best to disclose any potential WP:COI upfront. Looking at the AfD discussion, it seems that the article in the past was blatantly promotional, apparently citing no reliable sources, and among other things did not appear to establish notability. Though I am not able to see what that variation consisted of, it likely contained little (perhaps no) encyclopedic content - so in the interest of building the encyclopedia, I've taken a stab at drafting up an article on this subject -- citing reliable sources, and aligning with Wikipedia's WP:CORP notability guideline. I've also paid particular attention to write in a manner consistent with WP:NPOV, reflecting all aspects of the subject including litigation. Instead of merely posting the article to mainspace, I thought it best to get your initial feedback/thoughts on the draft that I've saved here: User:Jeff_Bedford/Proposed_Royal_Holiday_article. Cheers, Jeff Bedford (talk) 21:44, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Eva McConnell pageCirt Is there any reading of the reasons given for deletion? JJR made the comment that Eva is not even a supercentenarian. Eva is the oldest person born in Australia since it became a nation. Australia is less than 110 years old. It becomes 110 on 1 January 2011. Libstar made the comment that it is ridiculous because she is the 4th oldest person in her country. But that is not the point. Edison made the point that being the 4th oldest is insufficient. But again, that is not the point. Yeti Hunter states that he/she agrees with JJR. (see above). The only person who does not make a mistaken point is David in DC. Anyone deleting the page must surely take this into account. Take away these mistakes and the vote is to keep. These people may agree with David in DC, but that is not what they said.

I've restored the article which I'd userified in the process of closing the DRV, which you were doing simultaneously.

DYK for Mission: Earth, Voyage to the Home Planet
The DYK project (nominate) 18:03, 10 November 2010 (UTC) Request for apology and undertaking to not treat others as you have treated meCirt, I previously made several edits to Wikipedia, about a year ago. I approached them carefully, and I feel that you Cirt, dealt with me arbitrarily, and did not give due consideration to my acting in good faith. The edits I made were with regard to Georgism ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Georgism&diff=prev&oldid=300020159 and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Georgism&diff=prev&oldid=299028068 ) Local Currency ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Local_currency&diff=prev&oldid=182470175 ) the American Monetary Institute ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Monetary_Institute&diff=prev&oldid=182077522 ) and the Way to Happiness ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Way_to_Happiness&diff=prev&oldid=315443336 ). Of these, the only one that persists is the one on Local Currency. There was an agreement about the second Georgist edit, but it has since been lost in revisions. Previously to making several of these edits, I posted to the talk page about making them, see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:American_Monetary_Institute ; http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Georgism&oldid=299051494 - which indicated a good faith attempt at edits, by posting edits to the discussion for a given web page, as suggested on that web page. The posting made to my user site by you was a boilerplate/cookie cutter comment which showed no investigation as to the context and my own history of asking first, and making an effort to be reasonable about my my edits. I had in fact only put in the "fact" comment on another article. This is what you could have done with regard to my own edits, together with a suggestion that there be a dialogue about it, with you developing things in stages. I was willing to agree to have some content taken off if was seen as not appropriate, I'm not sure about the conflict of interest claim, but I was certainly willing to discuss it at the time. Separately, the manner in which you operated left me cold to Wikipedia. My issue is not about any particular edit, but rather the way you conducted yourself. The Mencius reference was done in good faith; I put in a web link because it would be easily verifiable, while I had a paper reference. Likewise, the comment on the American_Monetary_Institute was done in good faith; the lack of content has since prompted bots to give it a "stub" status, with a suggestion that "you can help improve this page". Great. Yeah. Like I'd be motivated to after my experience. I still assert that my content was neutral and worthwhile for someone trying to make sense of Zarlenga's position. At the time I'd pushed things with the Mencius reference didn't have the stamina to go on. I would like an apology from you on this and an undertaking to treat other new edits more fairly, making an investigation of the context of their edits and putting in "fact" comments rather than immediate edits, and not putting kneejerk boilerplate / cookie cutter comments on their talk page. The whole experience has left me cold. I believe I make good faith and generally worthwhile edits to Wikipedia; I might have contributed more, but do not feel this will ever be the case. In any case, I would appreciate the above apology and undertaking from you. JohnAugust (talk) 21:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
You have made a bland assurance and not engaged with my content at all.I challenge your claim. If you do not engage with what I am saying I will take this to dispute resolution. JohnAugust (talk) 04:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Blatant ? While trying to figure out what was what, I noted on the chat page the material I intended to post. I think that in fact shows my genuine intent, my good faith, something you refuse to recognise. Further, you've not proven all the material is as you assert - I ended up putting in the Mencius quote in an agreed fashion - clearly the edit was genuine. Other edits could be likewise genuine if you don't assume that what you say is the case merely because you say it is. In addition, you've not engaged with the material I've put forth in my initial comment above. That's what I meant, and it should have been pretty clear. I plan to take this to dispute resolution around the 20th of this month, unless you make some engagement with what I'm saying. JohnAugust (talk) 09:59, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
It is clear you will not engage or acknowledge anything I put to you. I'll be going to dispute resolution, but it will take some time to familiarise myself with policies and put my arguments together. I'll keep you informed of progress in this regard.

IP address and user having suspiciously similar editsSorry to bother you with this. I couldn't really find a forum where this would go. I went to portal film looking for an administrator and found your name there so... I have been editing the article mumblecore for the past few weeks. One anon editor User:99.48.214.16 has been taking out films listed as mumblecore, with references indicating some connection to mumblecore. I have been adding them back in. Today, an editor User:Ohwhataslaughter removed the same three films but gave an edit summary, something I requested the IP to do. Because of that, instead of reverting the edits, I took the conversation to the talk page. However, the edit histories of the IP and Ohwhataslaughter are very similar, although the last time Ohwhataslaughter edited wikipedia, before today, was 2008. I am wondering if this is something that should be pursued or not? XinJeisan (talk) 08:33, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I have replied on the GA1 sub-talk listing sources and the information I found in them. I certainly want to conclude this review as quickly as possible, but I suggest that it would be worth your time to restructure the sections describing the lawsuit to give more of a sense of the passage of time, what happened when, etc. For example, you could take the complaint and list the different causes of action used to bring the lawsuit. Then describe the discovery battle, the fact that both sides offered expert witnesses, the trial, and then the appeal including the issues raised on appeal.

South Park vandalI was minded to suggest those two reports of yours at AIV go to ANEW, however, I've blocked both for a week because it's obvious they're trying to avoid a block by logging out and editing as an IP. I've hard blocked the IP, so hopefully you won't have to put up with any socks for a week. Anyway, at first glance, I can only see an edit war over images and caption in various South Park episode articles, so I'm just wondering if this is just someone determined to make a nuisance of themselves in an edit war or if there's something else going on that I'm missing.

I know you've reviewed a lot of books and I think you're an equal opportunity offender; I have faith in your objectivity. As an aside, I had a look at The Book of est, and I think it looks great, but it made me realize that there's a lot I need to learn here to help reviewing GANs--give me some time and I'll come to help the project there.

There are now subsequent edit summaries like "undo random, blanking of sourced material for no stated reason by YellowMonkey, who has privately told me he intends to vandalize this article because he hates Kissinger the evil war criminal", "ditto; outlandish and absurd conspiracy theories from far-left propagandists and chomsky cultists should not be obsessively regurgitated in a barely literate fashion on Wikipedia, you poor adolescent" etc. I've got to step out now and don't have the time to investigate, but since you've already had a look-in could you relook at this? cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 18:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Grenfell College Student UnionHi Cirt, Recently, you deleted the Grenfell College Student Union page as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grenfell College Student Union. I feel, again, quite disheartened by the fact that Wikipedians were given only eight days from when it was previously restored from Speedy Deletion to fix up the article. Furthermore, the note of one user on the discussion towards the deletion notes there only being a few sources directly integrated into page which mentions the Union in passing... while another user had posted several valid sources in the deletion discussion as examples of what was to be integrated. As we have only had a single day over a week to do so, we've not been successful in integrating all of the sources that I and a few other interested users have found to integrate into the page. I'd ask if you could restore said page so that we can have a real shot at getting those things properly formatted and having a legitimate article herein. I'm interested in trying to improve all of the pages related to Memorial University of Newfoundland and this is a just another part in doing so -- as all articles tied to it are fairly weak.

Deletion despite meeting Wikipedia requirements for notabilityHello Cirt, Why was the Artificial Peace page deleted despite meeting FOUR Wikipedia requirements for notability for musicians and ensembles? Please note that the rules state a band must only meet ONE such rule to be deemed notable. Below are the criteria listed on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28music%29 that Artificial Peace satisfies: 1) Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself. Artificial Peace has been the subject of at least THREE books: ONE: Andersen, Mark & Jenkins, Mark (2001), Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation's Capitol, New York, NY: Akashic Books, ISBN 1-888451-44-0. TWO: Connolly, Cynthia; Clague, Leslie & Cheslow, Sharon (1988), Banned in DC: Photos and Anecdotes From the DC Punk Underground 1979-85, Washington, DC: Sun Dog Propaganda, ISBN 978-0-9620944-0-8 . THREE: Blush, Steven & Petros, George (2001) American, George Hardcore: a Tribal History Feral House, ISBN-10: 0922915717 5) Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of whom are notable).
6) Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles.
7) Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
Only one of the four above criteria is needed to satisfy the requirements for notability for musicians and ensembles. Please restore the Artificial Page page or explain why it has been deleted despite meeting the criteria for notability. Thank you. RM 67.189.13.84 (talk) 22:07, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello Cirt, Thank you for your suggestion. Is that standard operating procedure for such a situation? I've already spent a considerable amount of time building and formatting the page, as well as searching for and then citing multiple 3rd party references. And then I've spent even more time defend something that already meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability. I don't mean to seem cynical, but why should I believe I'll be treated any differently if I follow your suggestion? Please advise. Thank you. RM 67.189.13.84 (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Cirt, I was also very surprised at your conclusion that the result of that discussion was "delete". I would have called it "no consensus" since opinions were pretty much evenly split, with possibly stronger arguments in favor of "keep". (Also note that the original nomination was by an anonymous SPA, submitted to AfD by a neutral third party.) Could you take another look at the discussion there, and see if you still think the consensus was "delete"? Thanks --MelanieN (talk) 15:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Why deletion of Voluntary Content RatingYou deleted the article Voluntary_Content_Rating based on one vote (which incorrectly stated spam, because spam is only valid when there is no relevant content) and the request as non-notable. The Article was very useful, though, because it lists the only simple alternative to the ICRA labels (Internet_Content_Rating_Association). ICRA labels impose restrictions on the content which are incompatible with free content¹, and PIC is quite complicated, so VCR is the only useful alternative for small website owners. And ICRA is dead… → http://icra.org ¹: http://draketo.de/licht/ich/meine-seite-ist-ab-18#fn:VCR (german) So it was not non-notable and spam was assessed incorrectly (at least for the version I read a few years ago). And there was just one vote to kill an article which had useful content and had been around for at least one and a half years². ²: 1,5 years, because that was when I linked to it on http://draketo.de/schatten Please undo the deletion. The content is very useful to webmasters, especially in germany where we now have to mark all pages.Draketo (talk) 12:03, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Re this, can you explain why in your closing statement you appear to have side-stepped the fact that the reason for deletion was for failing WP:NOT, WP:EVENT and WP:AIRCRASH (both the current essay and proposed guideline), not for simply failing the WP:GNG (to which even the arguments on that score were weak to the point of simple assertion, for an article that is still only sourced to news articles of one 24 hours news cycle). If you see a consensus in there actually dealing with the whole rationale, and not just the GNG, then maybe you can give one or two examples here of the sort of comments you think supported a determination of a "strong consensus" outcome on that score. Otherwise, I think you've made a very basic mistake in policy here, which requires review. No single Afd has the power to elevate the GNG to the status of the sole criteria for inclusion at Wikipedia, not even under IAR, even the GNG itself is clear on that score, under the presumption clause. I am also pretty concerned that by examining your contribs, you appear to have spent less than four minutes reviewing that rather large discussion before closure, which does not seem enough time to give it anything other than a cursory look. This seems to be confirmed by the fact you chose not to comment on several of the points I made specifcally for the benefit of the closer, such as the piggybacking on Lugnut's flawed GNG based rationale (which he repeatedly chose not to defend in any way at all).

Your Advice SoughtHi, Cirt, I see you have posted at a current RFC that involves me. By viewing your talk page here and following some of the links, I am reminded that you are quite an experienced editor and administrator and concerned about proper sourcing of articles. It also appears that you have considerable experience in working on topics that have been highly contentious in various online communities over the years. Thus I'd be glad to hear from you, in as much detail as your busy schedule allows you to provide, how better to work with multiple editors on topics for which I have been gathering sources, some of which relate to articles that were the subject of an Arbitration Committee case that began soon after I registered my Wikipedia account. I've worked in brick-and-mortar editorial offices in two different countries, and I've been online since 1992, but Wikipedia is my first experience (and most people's first experience) of working in an online editorial office with many, many editors and no sole editor-in-chief, so I'd appreciate your advice on how to become further acculturated to work pattern of the Wikipedia project.

discussion about deletion of articleHi there, This article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_O%27Rourke was deleted on grounds of lack of notability of the artist. Reading up on how to go about proposing to restore the article, it says that I should "take it up with the deleting admin". Is that you? Pabandorra (talk) 11:55, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi Cirt, thanks for setting that up. Now for a newbie question, and please do take it as a question rather than part of a discussion: The article was deleted on grounds of lack of notability. I am now quite au fait with the notability question regarding musicians et al, and I can see that the article made little or no attempt to put forward any notability, no real references included, also dryly written with no pics or goodness in general. However, if one can imagine a more engageing article setting the artist in her niche which is quite an interesting one (for some!), I would think that being part of the band for Eric Burden and the Animals(House of the Rising Sun?), writing and recording with George Clinton (the king of outlandish funk, and not mentioned in old article), founding member of Liar (recognized by wiki) and constant collaborator of Eric Mcfadden (also recognized by wiki) should be considered as grounds for notabilty. Again, I am not posing this point as part of a discussion, this is not the place, but could you give me an educated opinion on this point as it pertains to the deletion? It seems to me it was deleted as part of a clean-up, and drab and undocumented as the article was I am not surprised, but Eric Burden and the animals are grade-A notable, surely? ...as is George Clinton. I'm just worried I won't be able to find enough references from the press. I would need to spam all music mags in the SF Bay Area, AND Barcelona, AND Paris to find articles over the last 15 years, for that is where she made her mark ... and that isn't going to be a reasonable undertaking. I have found a clear article in "El Pais" a big spanish paper, but one is not enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pabandorra (talk • contribs) 16:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC) I must remember to sign my posts Pabandorra (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cirt. As with wiki guidelines, I wish to contact you re: the creation of a wikipedia page for the Literary and Debating Society in NUI, Galway. I am contacting you as much of the information I would like to add would be very similar if not the same as that in the article deleted. I would be more than willing to remove such parts as the list of past auditors and vice auditors (as was mentioned on the deletion article) and replacing it with a list of previous notable auditors. The reason I wish to create another article on the Literary and Debating society is that I do not believe it's just a student club at a single school. It is a society that predates the university and many other societies of similar notability such as the [Literary and Historical Society (University College Dublin)]] and the UCC Philosophical Society. It has not only played a vital part in the shaping of NUI, Galway it is the origin of important bodies within the university such as the Students' Union. It is a society that was also under the auditorship of several notable persons and contributed much to the city around it. Any advise you can give me would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Your input would be helpful here.There’s a discussion at AE here about whether to extend topic bans from the race and intelligence arbitration case to include discussions related to these articles at other fora. The current proposal calls for this extension to be made for other topic banned editors, but not for Mathsci. I’ve just noticed Mathsci sniping at you in an unrelated discussion because he disagrees with the opinions you’ve expressed in an RFC related to these articles: [33] [34] Do you have an opinion about whether if topic bans from this case are extended to discussions in other fora, an exception ought to be made in Mathsci’s case so that he can continue bringing up issues related to these articles in other discussions? If you do, I think it would be helpful for you to comment there. I don’t think any of the admins participating in that discussion have noticed these two newest comments from Mathsci yet, but they’re an example of why I think if this restriction is going to be added to topic bans from the case, Mathsci shouldn’t be excluded from the restriction. --Captain Occam (talk) 19:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Notes to self - Deletion review discussion - Category:Worst Picture Golden Raspberry Award winners
Requesting undeletion of these five categories (no objection to the others staying deleted):
-- Cirt (talk) 21:02, 1 December 2010 (UTC) List of Russian aviatorsThank you for spreading the listing of the afd on this article. I was completely unaware of the existence of the page you listed. I must confess, this is my first afd in the two plus years I have been active on WP. I don't know what the heck I am doing, and your help is a fine example of the consensual spirit needed to build WP. However, I felt if I did not push for improvement or deletion of this list, someone else might have it deleted willynilly. Georgejdorner (talk) 02:10, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Theo Botha -- not WP:GNG-compliant yet?Thanks for moving to close the AfD discussion. I think I've established adequate secondary sourcing for this article. Does the template on general notability need to stay up? What more needs to be done? Yakushima (talk) 04:05, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Why deletion of Voluntary Content RatingYou deleted the article Voluntary_Content_Rating based on one vote (which incorrectly stated spam, because spam is only valid when there is no relevant content) and the request as non-notable. The Article was very useful, though, because it lists the only simple alternative to the ICRA labels (Internet_Content_Rating_Association). ICRA labels impose restrictions on the content which are incompatible with free content¹, and PIC is quite complicated, so VCR is the only useful alternative for small website owners. And ICRA is dead… → http://icra.org ¹: http://draketo.de/licht/ich/meine-seite-ist-ab-18#fn:VCR (german) So it was not non-notable and spam was assessed incorrectly (at least for the version I read a few years ago). And there was just one vote to kill an article which had useful content and had been around for at least one and a half years². ²: 1,5 years, because that was when I linked to it on http://draketo.de/schatten Please undo the deletion. The content is very useful to webmasters, especially in germany where we now have to mark all pages.Draketo (talk) 12:03, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
Block of JessdfactsRegarding this block, I'd like to unblock. This editor was in civil email communication with other editors at the time the block was made and continues to communicate with us even after the block. His last mainspace edit inserting external links was at 18:45 today [35], one minute before the first notice he got about external links. He did not re-create User:Jessdfacts/The Library Corporation after it was speedy deleted, even though he had not been blocked at the time. In short, we've got someone who cooperated when he was told he'd done wrong and has been civil with other Wikipedia contributors. My main beef here is that he took the opportunity to comply with various pieces of advice and warnings, but was blocked anyway. The countervailing factor is that he's been casting aspersions that other editors. On that issue, see my message on his user talk page. If you agree to an unblock, I'll monitor him.--Chaser (talk) 22:58, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
