The article was a copy-paste from the band's Myspace. I'd recommend you just start over if you want to write a decent article about them. Thanks, GlassCobra16:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm attempting to create the page for LSE IDEAS that you deleted for blatant advertising. I wasn't finished with the page before you deleted it. Their publications are mentioned in the Times and elsewhere. What needs to be done to allow posting?
I would suggest that you create the article in userspace, and once you believe you are finished creating it, let an admin know. Try writing it at User:Khoback/LSE IDEAS for now, then it can be moved live once you are finished... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Page Deletion
Hey...
Wanted to know why my page was deleted. I have posted it twice and it has been deleted twice. Please offer any advice to avoid this from happening again.
Your message said the reason for deletion was A7: article may not meet guidelines. My name is mentioned in several other articles, so I don't see why my article doesn't meet the guidelines.
Did you remove the playing style mod about him running around his backhand to hit his forehand? If so, why? It's obvious from watching 5 minutes of any of his matches. His backhand is his best shot? Give me a break. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.63.225.6 (talk) 19:08, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Hmm, I hadn't noticed, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that a ban evading sock didn't notify me. Thanks for the heads up, guys. GlassCobra00:50, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
The Dirty Works
Curious why this page was deleted. I removed all reference to any previously published articles.
It simply said "The Dirty Works are a 3-piece punk band out of Tennessee."
Obviously I intend to expand upon this page.
The page has only been created a few times over the span of several months, protection isn't necessary yet. Actually, I felt that this one was borderline; if someone scrounged up some decent sources, this might be able to stick. GlassCobra00:44, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
I am following up on a page that indicates that you proposed for deletion. It is the Online School for Girls, which is a non-profit school formed this summer by a consortium of four independent all-girls' school. It is the first online school dedicated to the secondary education of girls. We believe the information was accurate and striped of any marketing language. We are requesting that it be reinstated. Thank you. Jmamenta (talk) 04:08, 9 February 2010 (UTC)Jmamenta
Hello, thanks for stopping by. It was apparent from reading the article that you have a connection with this organization, I'd suggest you review our conflict of interest guidelines; we discourage people with vested interest in certain topics from writing about them. The article itself did not include any reliable sources to verify its claims of notability. GlassCobra14:23, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Just wondering about the note you added to my page.
Tell me exactly why this was deleted? Blatant hoax?!

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. I've reviewed your article, and agree that it was not a hoax. I apologize for the inconvenience. I was a little confused by the wording of the article, namely that the subject was born in 1870, but had a quote in some sort of periodical saying that she was thirteen; however, I didn't realize that it could be a periodical of that time period.
However, before restoring the article, I'd like to address a few concerns. First, your username indicates a connection to the subject, so I'd like to suggest that you review our conflict of interest guidelines; we discourage people from writing about subjects with which they are connected, whether it be an employer, a family member, etc. Next, as per our verification policy, we require sources that our articles use to be publicly viewable, so that they might be verified by our readers, peer reviewers, or anyone else. Is there any way you can obtain copies of the book you mention above, or the periodical mentioned in the article?
deletion of page titled Professional Monitor Company
I see that you have deleted my page created, describing the company PMC. I saw from the notes from another admin that my entry was considered spam or merely advertising the company.
From a brief look around wikipedia I see there are entries for other speaker manufacturers such as Tannoy, Bowers and Wilkins and QUAD Elctroacoustics. I fail to see why these entries are deemed acceptable and mine is not. These other manufacturers are notable, usually due to a particular design philosophy of their products. I feel that the speakers made by PMC are also notable for their use and development of the transmission line design of speaker enclosure. I do not feel that my entry was in any way advertising PMC or promoting their designs over and above others, but was instead giving unbiased information on the subject.
As I mentioned I have no links with the company and have nothing to gain by creating a wikipedia entry. Manufacturers such as Tannoy, B&W and QUAD are notable for various reasons and I feel PMC are too.
Please can you advise why you do not feel my entry was suitable.
Hi GlassCobra, I am new to Wikipedia and am editing the Pepsi page for a college class. Could you please explain why you deleted my 3-sentence contribution to the "Marketing" section of the Pepsi page? The Pepsi Refresh Project is a brand new (just launched last month) already-popular multi-million dollar grant program that is definitely significant enough to be added to Wikipedia. I also added the Pepsi Refresh Project page...you deleted that because it was "unambiguous advertising". I rewrote my page and posted it again, but now you deleted it for "No Indication of Importance".
How can I reword these edits so that this can be published on Wikipedia?
I am Melissa Dawn Johnson's assistant and I see that you recently deleted the page I created for her on wikipedia citing "unambiguous copyright infringement" of the Melissa Dawn Johnson that is speaking at the Winner's Summit. However, that is the Melissa Dawn Johnson that is referenced in the wikipedia page.
I wish you would've contacted someone first before deleting it, it took a while for me to gather that content.
If there is another reason you are deleting the page please let me know so that I may correct it so I don't have to go through this again. My email is victoria.dunn@velvetsuitemarketing.com and the office line is 404.806.8214.
Please contact me if there is an issue I'm missing.
I stood by and watched the process unfold after I reverted one of his WP:NPOV edits, and I saw his commentary when he was originally banned. My thinking is that he's a good candidate for WP:RBI. --Alan (talk) 02:03, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
The subject "granny gear" is well known among manual transmission operators. Yet a search on Wikipedia does not return any documents which relate the term granny gear to a transmission, but only to bicycle gearing. Why was the "Granny Gear" page deleted? Why not kept and linked to the full transmission article?
Appreciated, GlassCobra. The concept still doesn't define what a granny gear is. Can the redirect page include a simple text definition like: "An extremely low gear ratio sometimes available in transmissions. In vehicles, it is used for maximum power, for climbing steep hills, for moving slowly over bad terrain, or for driving slowly" or something similar (as derived from Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=granny%20gear))? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.42.224.2 (talk) 10:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
I just found another one, from WikiAnswers: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_granny_gear. It reads: "granny gear is 1st gear. the lowest gear in transmission. it has the most power of all gears but is the slowest.in big trucks it is called granny gear ,because the the gear ratios are so low that the vehicle crawls along slowly like a granny.this gear is not used often on a road truck unless a start on an extremely steep hill with heavy load is required." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.42.224.2 (talk) 10:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
The template, called InOtherLanguages, would ease navigation between Wikipedia projects by taking the page's title and linking it with the same page in another language. For instance, the wheel page would have links to fr:wheel, de:wheel, and so on. It'd be displayed at the top of the page in a little green box. --ZeroTalkContribs22:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Interwiki links are already included on the side of every page. A template like you're suggesting would probably just clutter up articles, to be honest. I don't really see what use it would be. GlassCobra04:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Well, that is true. And I wouldn't want to create a redundant template. It seems like that's all I did in my early days here. Thanks for the time. --ZeroTalkContribs15:44, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Lil Weavah
I do not have an vested interest in Lil Weavah as a business, but I do happen to know his organization. Everything I present, is not opinionated, but merely facts. Previously there had been much mistaken information that I have tried to correct but people continue to change it. I have done freelance writing for many entertainment magazines and such, so I do feel qualified to present the facts on a non bias bases. I will change a few things that I know to be false or outdated news, and if you have any discrepancies, please write back and we will go from there.

Going back quite a bit regarding this edit [1] and this explanation from yourself [2], it seems that the article has been like this for over two years and your clean up edit was reverted. The article is a total violation of notability, i don't think anyone has made the slightest effort to improve it as i don't think they're notable at all. Now i'm a big Suede fan and i know that there are numerous articles online for The Tears, McAlmont and Butler and Elastica, who are clearly connected with Suede. I think they qualify for speedy deletion, now i wouldn't want to do it myself, i just thought it would be better to pass it by yourself, being an admin, and having previously looked at the article.Ian Bundy (talk) 16:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you letting me know about the reversion of my edit on the Futon article, I've taken the liberty of cleaning that one up once again.
As for the Suede-related articles, I don't think they qualify for speedy deletion; each one makes a pretty clear claim of notability and is of course related to a majorly notable band. If you really believe they do not meet our standards, you may nominate them at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion; however, your argument would have to be pretty persuasive, as I believe they would likely pass easily. Thanks again for your message, GlassCobra17:11, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello GlassCobra, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Chandeliers (game) has been removed. It was removed by Atama with the following edit summary '(Removed prod tag, because the article has been proposed for deletion in the past, and the prod tag was removed. It is ineligible for any further proposed deletions.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Atama 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. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 14:10, 20 March 2010 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages) 14:10, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Do you have any idea why my computer cannot undo vandal edits? Also Im not sure how to add a picture from my documents on my computer to show you what my screen looks like, so any help with that as well? I took a screen-shot. Thanks. Creation7689 (talk) 15:27, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi. MartiniLake and KavaVitex are wondering why you deleted a large section of the Barleyjuice page back in February. Feel free to reply on either of our pages. Thanks.

changes to Barleyjuice page
I am the leader of this band and created and approved all entries by KavaVitex. Why did you choose to remove our timeline and discography, and other info? I'm signing in to support KavaVitex, so not sure about how to provide you with a red link yet, sorry about that. here's the link to the page in question. i look forward to your reply.
Thanks for stopping by. The edits I made to the article about Barleyjuice were purely of a custodial nature, formatting the text and removing unnecessary info, like the various lineups of the band year by year. Very little information was actually removed. As Martinilake and KavaVitex appear to have a very close and personal connection with the band, please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, and I would encourage the operators of both accounts to contribute to other subjects. Thanks, GlassCobra17:18, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Enstar group
Hello,
Can you tell me why you deleated the Enstar page?
Can you send me a copy of the page which was deleated.
You need to add my block to the Adam Kontras eletion discussion...
Please be responsible and explain to the editors who are SPECIFICALLY ASKING ME QUESTIONS why you blocked me. THis is childish to say the least.
If this has anything to do with me DELETING Chalres Groves slander - with the explanation "old vandalism" - you need to do a little more research before randomly deleting. I'm in the midst of a cyber stalking case with detectives in Virginia, Case # GC10000402-00 Charge: 'Stalking: Fear of Death or Assault' Orignial Court order 2-23-10 'No contact with victim'. He has actually admitted he is vandalizing and stalking (again, had you taken the time to do your research) and even did the most recent vandalism as himself. It has been a daily issue to undo his lies. He is publically linking to court records that don't exist but saying they implicate me in some crime. I erase those and you block me? Great site fellas. Keep up the good work. Adam4tvs 98.151.17.229 (talk) 18:29, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
note If there were any such litigation pending I would be sure I would be informed, Mr Kontras is either confused or simply attempting to sway the argument by any means necessary. The case number in question has nothing to do with Mr Kontras. Anouther rediculous allegation! Charles Franklin Groves III, Richmond Virginia.... My internet is down right now... 24.125.149.247 (talk) 00:24, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Kindly take this argument somewhere else. I have no interest in getting involved; I am merely upholding Wikipedia's rules on usernames. GlassCobra01:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm not comfortable with the way this categorical, irreversible, indefinite ban was conducted. Adam4tvs is the username that Adam Kontras has used for just about everything he has done on the Internet since 2000. The fact that it is related to what he may wish to "self-promote" is not a coincidence, but it is also not in any way related to his alleged self-promotion. He first registered on Wikipedia to defend himself against the allegations raised by admitted vandal and sockpuppet Charles Groves. Most of his contributions have been directly related to the ongoing discussion related to the AfD of the article about him, Adam Kontras, and concerns raised in that discussion. The only potential direct "self-promotion" that I can see is the edit he made to Crooked X, which was a band that he interviewed for the CBS's The Early Show while he was employed by CBS. I do not think it is OK to drive-by ban somebody without so much as a warning or an investigation into what they have done. GlassCobra, I ask that you please reverse your decision and have a civil conversation about Adam4tvs's potential misconduct over at User talk:Adam4tvs. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉03:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Except Adam's screen name is not a company, group, or product, and he has been clear about his conflict of interest with the Adam Kontras web page, so his Wikipedia name doesn't violate the rules. I agree that this decision should be reversed. —Brad Cook→✉—Preceding undated comment added 17:57, 14 April 2010 (UTC).
Why did you delete Kate's birthday party?
it was a good page notifying of an internet sensation that erupted these past few days.
Seriously...
Yeah I'm wondering about the same thing. You don't find it funny?
Same here also. Come on, live a little! All sorts of memes have articles on WP, how is this one an exception?
I know, hey. How come you deleted it? It's a Facebook phenomenon that was actually successful. -LC +1
The event is actually worthy of a Wikipedia page. This is a huge mistake. Why delete articles like this? This is a very significant event in terms of web privacy/security.
I'm going to agree with every other person on this talk, this is a notable internet meme, that has made quite a bit of news recently concerning facebook privacy/security issues. If you take a quick look through google news, this has gone about creating a fair bit of news. --Kibadunno (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
WikiProject Harry Potter has been rather inactive recently. I've been working on the Evanna Lynch article lately, and have based it off the featured article Emma Watson.
