Question Re: "Blue Bite"Hi, Herby. I was just wondering how come my post "Blue Bite" was removed? I thought I followed the Wikipedia standards but would really appreciate your feedback and help making this post stay on Wikipedia. I feel that what Blue Bite is doing in the Proximity Marketing space is extremely valuable and should be known to the general public. I understand that the article was cited as being blatant advertising, however, when I look at similar companies (for example: Lamar Advertising Company) I find my post to be very similar in nature. Please advise how I can make my content of value and better. I really appreciate all of your help. Brewer123 (talk) 16:41, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Question Re: "Seal"Hello Herby. We are aware that you have deleted our Article relating to Seal as unambiguous advertising. We respect your decision in doing this but would like to ask how other companies similar to ours have retained their entries and have not been deleted. We just presented facts about our company without making any extravagant claims. I would appreciate some clarification from you if possible. Many thanks Seal --SealWiki (talk) 16:17, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
Save Our Food-Save Our Resources deletion querynot sure why you deleted Save Our Food-Save Our Resources. It's not promoting anything. I am not selling anything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paritoshkasotia (talk • contribs) 19:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

You recently deleted my article on Precision Practice Management and I was wondering if there was anyway to change it to get it back online. I wrote on its talk page why I thought the company was relevant. Thanks! Tjohara9 (talk) 17:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Non notable page deletionYou have deleted the page on Bachat Lamp Yojna
Question Re: "Diamond Resorts"Why was the Diamond Resorts page deleted, rather than edited? I've seen similar pages that aren't flagged but seem to violate wikipedia rules. For example, Wyndham Vacation Resorts has no sources, specific lists of resorts, marketing/advertising of membership programs. Thanks for your patience with a new wikipedia user.

Question Regarding Feller Business SolutionsHerbythyme - I was currious why you deleted the page about Feller Business Solutions. I tried to format it similar to the pages about both Staples and OfficeMax. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Pencilpointe (talk) 16:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC) Richard's FoodporiumHerbythyme - I am new to posting things on here and am wondering why the page I was working on yesterday was deleted. As far as I can see I was following the guidlines and doing nothing different than Whole Foods Market and Trader Joes that both have pages on Wikipedia. If you could explain so I do not make these mistakes over and over. Thanks in advance. Matt@Richardswf.com page deletion queryHi Herby, you recently deleted my article on Miracube citing that it is an advertisement. But, why are there listings of other companies like SeeReal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeeReal_Technologies Philips Wowvx which is a product they sell. I would consider that advertising, wouldn't you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW_VX Zalman (which advertises thier company) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalman How can Pavonine Korea Inc. and Miracube 3D displays be listed? I must be going about it the wrong way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craig 3D (talk • contribs) 07:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC) The page was just about to be started and you deleted the information. I am amazed at how much time you have in your hands to look through other people's page and delete them. I hate "don't leave" messagesso I won't give you one. I'll just say thanks for all your help over the years. If you choose to pick up the tools again, they'll be waiting for you. Meanwhile have fun. ++Lar: t/c 22:43, 30 August 2009 (UTC) Photo requestHi! Is Exeter Airport convenient from where you are? If so, would you mind photographing the Flybe headquarters? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 00:08, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
AlgarveActually I saw you on the Algarve page (via Siobhan Hansen) and left it alone because you seemed to have it covered. Are you sure the links are no good or is it COI? The one I followed was vaguely plausible at a glance.--BozMo talk 15:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
Please use the Algarve discussion page to discuss this matter instead of starting a add/remove links war. If you feel they should be remove use real arguments instead of just claiming they are not within policy, which would be untrue. I await you on the discussion page. --Xaman79 (talk) 16:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC) Pleased refrain from removing the links which have been for years on this article while this is being discussed or you may be blocked from editing. --Xaman79 (talk) 16:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC) DYK for Saint-Savin, Hautes-PyrénéesKanonkas : Talk 04:43, 30 September 2009 (UTC) POTD notificationHi Herbythyme, Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:Crazywell cross 1.JPG is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on November 15, 2009. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2009-11-15. howcheng {chat} 04:27, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Link deletion queryI recently noticed that you deleted a few links of mine to articles on ISO and ANSI paper sizes, as well as a comparison of Labelflash and LightScribe technologies. Please state your reasons. I'm at a complete loss. For example, the comparison of Labelflash and LightScribe technologies is one of the only recent comparisons of two popular products. There is information there that won't be found in other comparisons conducted closer to the release of the products. The paper size article has some tips that you also won't find anywhere else, as well as good diagrams comparing ISO and ANSI sizes. Sure, these articles are on a company's website, but they are excellent articles and in no way promote any product. There are plenty of decent, neutral articles there, and I do not see why they aren't "Wikipedia material". Your turn. And please, in the future, bring issues like this up on the discussion page. I noticed that you didn't delete other links that I put up (to tomshardware, for example, another company). Does not add up to me. User:MacMan77

Haiti Emergency AppealSure, that's fine. Perhaps we should get a page together and list everyone [1][2] etc although for now I think people who tweet and blog are the priority over raising cash since we need everyone to know how bad it looks. --BozMo talk 18:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Hi.I saw you commented on the AE appeal, I am wondering if you know that she is free to work with photography and indeed anything that she wants as long as it does not touch on Israel-Arab conflicts? Unomi (talk) 11:32, 11 April 2010 (UTC) Thank youHi Herbythyme, Thank you very much for your comment on my appeal. Although it failed, I will always remember your help and understanding. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 02:01, 13 April 2010 (UTC) Llangrannog imageHi Herby, The only reason why I changed it was because the new image shows clearly more of the village then the old one did...I have noticed that the "new" image had been used previously. Given the size of the image, not sure if it really makes that much difference whether it is a "quality image" or not. However if you disagree, I have no problems, simply revert it back, no worries. SethWhales talk 08:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC) RMS MulheimNo problem :-). All ship articles should have a section describing the ship, and a section or sections on its history. Bit of an odd method for doing the refs though, but it works which is the main thing. Mjroots (talk) 10:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC) You are now a ReviewerHello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

— raekyT 00:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC) Hi, would you be so kind as to give us support!Hello, I've just read your page on Meta and liked it especially the part about the pigeon and the statue (Is it yours or someone else's quote?). I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. My name is Claudi Balaguer (User Capsot from the Catalan Wikipedia and the Occitan Wikiccionari). I've just read your profile and I felt that our cause might find a friendly ear! I really hope I am not bothering you and you will help us... I'm a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Chapter (some kind of intermediate structure between the Wikipedias and the Wikimedia Foundation) but this hasn't been accepted up to this moment because Catalan has not a/one state. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT and/or sign the Members and Supporters list following the link on the template (you can have more information on my userpage). I wish you a great summer, take care! Thanks for your attention and once again I apologize sincerely for this intrusion! Nice pictures by the way, especially the one on Meta!

Ogura Clutch Ltd.Hi, I am trying to create a company profile and you have deleted it twice for the reason being spam. Why is this happening? It is the company information and we took the pictures. The President of the company has given me the permission to create this page.

I am looking for a longstanding administrator to do a thorough review of my account, for a third RFA attempt. Think you could offer some time? My previous RFAs were in January and July 2010, both failing due to "insufficient experience in all admin areas", no issues on "trust with the tools" as far as I know. A combined view of my older RFA's could be found here. I've also had discussions with other users and admins (older discussions here); so far no "oppose" yet. Between my last RFA and now, I have considerably changed my editing patterns and areas. I have (as you know) also been nominated and passed as an administrator at Commons. In real life, I occasionally get quite some free time (other than work/study periods), thus I really could offer a helping hand to the community... Rehman 13:14, 12 January 2011 (UTC) Please refrain from policingDear Herbythyme, You've previously deleted my user page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mads.soegaard for no apparent reason.

Technical questionHello Herbythyme, I have a question that you might or might not know the answer, but here it is. I wonder how open proxy thing works. Let's say a company is using this open proxy thing with IP xx.xxx.xx.xx. I know that the location of this IP could change at any time (It used to be in Pennsylvania in December, it was in Chicago last night), but maybe you know, if IP itself could change too. In other words, if somebody with this IP edited Wikipedia in October, and then hacked my email accounts in December, could I say that the persons, who did it work for the same company? Although what I described to you here is a real case scenario, it does not concern any user on Commons. May I please ask you to treat this as a technical question about open proxies and nothing more. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:33, 15 February 2011 (UTC) It would depend if the IP was dynamic, static, and who had access to it. I can explain in greater detail if you like. By the way, why is everyone deleting the link to the site I put in the Niche marketing article without discussing anything on the talk page?180.191.145.67 (talk) SBL removalHello.

If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2011-07-29. howcheng {chat} 23:21, 26 July 2011 (UTC) Image RemovalYou removed images that are relevent to the article showing examples of the different types of awnings. There was no link to a website, only a link to the image file which seems to be within the guidelines. Yet there are other images that are examples of wind loads and design which link to a file and business website who does not own the images they added to the article. I quote from your Wikimedia page "People using Foundation wikis to promote themselves or other websites is something I feel quite strongly about." However, you have a link to your blog where people can purchase images. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canvasgirl (talk • contribs) 04:27, 27 December 2011 (UTC) I am a newbie, but have something to contribute to pages that are in my field of expertise. I have been in the business for 25 years and think I could contribute information to certain articles. I understand the links to my site being removed, but would like to contribute images where appropriate. Please bear with me as I learn. --Canvasgirl (talk) 15:05, 27 December 2011 (UTC) I understand, my concern is that other sites (only competitors sites) will claim the work as their own as they have done before. "Attribution is often considered the most basic of requirements made by a license, as it allows an author to accumulate a positive reputation that partially repays their work and prevents others from claiming fraudulently to have produced the work. It is widely regarded as a sign of decency and respect to acknowledge the creator by giving him/her credit for the work." My thoughts were that I would allow blogs and information sites to use it, but I can't figure how to add an attibution that attributes the work in the photo, not the photo itself as I am not a photographer. If I attribute the work as designing and creating it, under my company name to deter competitors sites from using it,then's it's advertising. Some people in my field consider themselves as an "artist" when creating products, not just a manufacturer and salesmen of products, as most of my work is custom made. Maybe I should be more selective on the images I upload to the Commons.--71.255.186.59 (talk) 16:51, 27 December 2011 (UTC) Article on ChintadripetHi Herbythyme, While creating a page on "Chintadripet", I come to know that the same had been deleted by you earlier.

Abuse Filter on the Article Feedback ToolHey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool. For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :).

Can you confirm that you added the section to the Ten Tors page entry for 2011? I'm the Ten Tors website administrator and the first sentence for that year varies from TT website notes of the weather that weekend (and the photos). The Team stats for that year are also the 'best' returned in the fifteen years that the TT website has been operating - would appreciate a chat over this entry with a view to correcting it - however that's done via this 'talk' mechanism (do I need to keep revisiting this page?)
