Aeronautica Lombarda AL-3I've left a notes on my Talk page.TSRL (talk) 19:21, 15 September 2013 (UTC) Leonid AfremovI already reached high level of international recognition . I'm a well known artist around the world. I do not use wikipedia for promotion. My site gets only 60 clicks a month from wikipedia in compare to 20,000 from facebook and 10,000 from Deviantart. Please check alexa.com for afremov.com , you will see that wikipedia does not generate traffic on afremov.com. I need to have a page on wikipedia. I already reached a level where its a requirement. Without a wikipedia page, galleries and museums cannot take me seriously . everyone says if you are a real deal, you must be on wikipedia. I have pages in many other languages in wikipedia but the English (main) page was removed. How can I have the page resorted or written in a different manner? Please google Leonid Afremov. You will see more than 10,000 of different sources and pages. I think we can work something out. I need help in this aspect because bios of living persons is a very sensitive thing on wikipedia. I would appreciate if you could send me in the right direction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.79.231.98 (talk) 15:33, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
deleted page Mamta Baruah HerlandHi John, My name is Steffen Myklebust (www.steffenmyklebust.com).

VisualEditor newsletter for September 19, 2013 Did you know?
You can edit a page's categories in VisualEditor. Click the "Page settings" button (next to Cancel/Save) in the toolbar to open the category tool. It will show you a list of the current categories for that page. To add a category, type the name of the category you want to add in the search field. To remove an existing category, click on the category in the list and then, in the dialog that opens, click on the "Remove" icon (trash can). "Options" will allow you to set a default sorting key. For more details, read VisualEditor's user guide. VisualEditor has been updated twice in the last two weeks. As usual, what is now running on the English Wikipedia had a test run at Mediawiki during the previous week. As announced, the toolbar was redesigned to be simpler, shorter, and to have the ability to have drop-down groups with descriptions. What you see now is the initial configuration and is expected to change in response to feedback from the English Wikipedia and other Wikipedias. The controls to add In an eagerly anticipated upgrade to the reference dialog, newly added references or reference groups no longer need the page to be saved before they can be re-used (bugs 51689 and 52000). The 'Use existing reference' button is now disabled on pages which don't yet have any references (bug 51848). The template parameter filter in the transclusion dialog now searches both parameter name and label (bug 51670). In response to several requests, there are some new keyboard shortcuts. You can now set the block/paragraph formatting from the keyboard: Ctrl+0 sets a block as a regular paragraph; Ctrl+1 up to Ctrl+6 sets it as a Heading 1 ("Page title") to Heading 6 ("Sub-heading 4"); Ctrl+7 sets it as pre-formatted (bug 33512). Ctrl+2, which creates level 2 section headings, may be the most useful. Some improvements were made to capitalization for links, so typing in "iPhone" will offer a link to "iPhone" as well as "IPhone" (bug 50452). Copying and pasting within the same document should work better as of today's update, as should copying from VisualEditor into a third-party application (bug 53364, bug 52271, bug 52460). Work on copying and pasting between VisualEditor instances (for example, between two articles) and retaining formatting when copying from an external source into VisualEditor is progressing. Major improvements to editing with input method editors (IMEs; mostly used for Indic and East Asian languages) are being deployed today. This is a complex change, so it may produce unexpected errors. On a related point, the names of languages listed in the "languages" (langlinks) panel in the Page settings dialog now display as RTL when appropriate (bug 53503). Looking ahead: The help/'beta' menu will soon expose the build number next to the "Leave feedback" link, so users can give more specific reports about issues they encounter (bug 53050). This change will make it easier for developers to identify any cacheing issues, once it starts reporting the build number (currently, it says "Version false"). Also, inserting a link, reference or media file will put the cursor after the new content again (bug 53560). Next week’s update will likely improve how dropdowns and other selection menus behave when they do not fit on the screen, with things scrolling so the selected item is always in view. If you are active at other Wikipedias, the next group of Wikipedias to have VisualEditor offered to all users is being finalized. About two dozen Wikipedias are on the list for Tuesday, September 24 for logged-in users only, and on Monday, September 30 for unregistered editors. You can help with translating the documentation. In several cases, most of the translation is already done, and it only needs to be copied over to the relevant Wikipedia. If you are interested in finding out whether a particular Wikipedia is currently on the list, you can leave a message for me at my talk page. For other questions or suggestions, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting problem reports at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback and other ideas at Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor.

Please undelete the page, "Phyllida Beck" Written by myselfHi, My Name Is Sarah And this was my first article and it was very short but very important to me The artice was written about Phyllida Beck, My coach and best friend. I have known her for years and she recently moved to Australia and needs help getting her coaching out and about. And I thought I could help her. I did not know about the Citations rule with at least 1 reliable source and I did not know we had to insert them... I am truly sorry for the trouble my deletion caused, but I treasure her with all my heart and she means the world to me and so does figure skating and she brought that to me. Before figure skating, I was suicidal and now I love myself more than ever. Please help me get her noticed and help her like she helped me. I moved back to Australia with her, I was born here and moved to be with her. Below are 3 Reliable Primary Sources, the first are the British Figure skating championships results, She placed 3rd in the 1976 championships. The second is a weebly website created by the fabulous Phyllida herself and the Third is a mummigrants blog about migrant mums written again by Phyllida. She is known in either article as Phyllida Beck or Phillida Barden. Please find the good in your heart and computer skills to help me help her... It would mean a lot and I would be eternally Grateful. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Figure_Skating_Championships 2.

A cupcake for you!
About the Afremov pageHi John! I was interested in Leonid Afremov and astonished to find that his Wikipedia page was removed and the reason was said to be the COPYRIGHT. Then I checked afremov.com and found the content of its introduction of the artist was from Wikipedia exactly. So I am writing to ask whether there is a way to make the page of Afremov available again on Wikipedia. OOPS! Before I click SAVE PAGE, I found the previous messages from Afremov himself. I understand that Wikipedia is not for promotion but the direct promotion part can be cut down. Afremov is indeed an excellent artist. These lights and colors in his paintings are totally magical. I think at least he deserves a page on Wikipedia.

Crabtree's BludgeonI wanted to look up Crabtree's Bludgeon but found that is has been deleted on the grounds that it is a hoax. As of the last time I viewed the page, it clearly stated that the axiom was attributed to Joseph Crabtree, a fictional character. The article was thus not meant to deceive wikipedia readers. The axiom does not exist as a one off Wikipedia page someone made for a laugh. Its presence in the following BMJ article (albeit, a farcical Christmas edition special)indicates that Crabtree's Bludgeon has a cultural presence in the real world as well. http://www.bmj.com/content/343/bmj.d7769 This article is not a hoax and should not be expunged on those grounds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.242.70.64 (talk) 04:42, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that a page I had created [Chad Van De Keere] was deleted rather quickly this morning before I had any time to make any adjustments to it to ensure the article fit correctly within the boundaries of wiki without copyright infringement. Is there a way the page can be restored so that I can still correct that page or do I have to start over on it. I notice on your list of reasons for deleting a page at the bottom you had mentioned it might be easier to start from scratch but I would prefer to properly edit what was already created to be original material for wiki based on the sources. Thanks for your time. Your help in this matter is much appreciated. Wondrousomnibus (talk) 04:52, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

An IP has been persistently adding unsourced material to this page for nearly four months. Near the beginning, you protected this page for a week, which helped for a while, but we're dealing with a very persistent character. Is there some longer-term fix that could be applied? Maybe semi-protection for a longer period of time? Thank you for looking into this. - Biruitorul Talk 21:33, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
You deleted a page; please help me understand why, thanksHello. I notice that, some time ago, you deleted a page for "Tanya Berenson," who is the daughter of an Olympic gymnastics champion, and who now runs the first and largest U.S. Olympic training facility in L.A. with her mother and hosts L.A. Lights, the international gymnastics event that takes place annually in L.A. Tanya was a Junior Olympian and an equestrian medal-winner. She's a US Gymnastics judge and works with the film industry in gymnastic training. In the world of gymnastics, she's substantial. In the world of Wikipedia, I'm not very well educated about what warrants a deletion. Anything you can do to help clarify would be most appreciated! Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jczelusniak (talk • contribs) 16:21, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Deletion of International Society for Philosophical EnquiryI would like to understand the reasoning behind the deletion of the Wikipedia page for the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry which occurred today. Founded in 1974, ISPE is one of the earliest ultra-high IQ societies, and presently has about 500 members worldwide. It publishes a quarterly journal for its membership, as well as a monthly newsletter. Apart from the seemingly ongoing anti-IQ society movement spearheaded by user WeijiBaikeBianji, who seems to maintain that any high-IQ society (with the possibility of the behemoth Mensa) is insufficiently notable, I do not understand the purpose of deleting a fairly modest page with reference value. The reasoning that such societies have memberships too small to be significant is spurious. By definition, such societies have a limited membership. There are plenty of other organizations with small memberships that are significant in other areas. It appears that high-IQ organizations are being targeted on Wikipedia simply because there are some who dislike them. This is a philosophical stance, and whether or not one likes the principles involved does not obviate the value of presenting reference information on such organizations.

Bulldozer ArchaeologyJohn, Some of the tags were there before I added more. The article is hideous, and it a self-published defamatory, article designed to manufacture controversy.

Tanya BerensonHi and thanks for the explanation about Berenson. It may be that the LA School of Gymnastics is significant and/or that Tanya's professional gymnastics career was significant; still researching. Yes, I am in the PR business, formerly Bloomberg's head of PR and before that worked for Dennis Kozlowski when he was CEO at Tyco International. As per Wikipedia's standards I'm not editing Tanya's entry; rather I'm asking you for insight about it. I agree with the standards for sure. We have PR Newswire for that kind of promotion. But if I see an inaccuracy or omission or needed update I'll certainly suggest it, whether it's for a client or for another person I am familiar with. Thank you again for educating us all and for maintaining this important service. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jczelusniak (talk • contribs) 16:10, 8 October 2013 (UTC) Bulldozer archaeologySeems that this is a bit worse than I thought, see my talk page.

inre White Dwarf (film)What a sorry stub. Unfortunately the IMDB website appears to be under a Denil of Service attack for the last 24 hours and I am unable to access information about the 1995 project. HOWEVER, once I can use it to expand my own search parameters I am a bit slowed in a rescue. BUT, full reviews in TV Guide and New York Times indicate to me that the film meets WP:NF. When I can get back into the IMDB database, I will take a personal hand in the article's expansion and improvement. I would be okay with it being userfied to me at User:MichaelQSchmidt/White Dwarf (1995 film) in the meantime, and drop you a note when It goes back to mainspace.

VisualEditor newsletter on 16 October 2013Did you know?
You can create and edit multi-level lists in VisualEditor. The first two icons let you set or remove list formatting. The last two are used to increase or decrease the indentation level. This can also be done from the keyboard, by using Tab ↹ to indent the list and ⇧ Shift+Tab ↹ to outdent it. For more information, read Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide. VisualEditor is still being updated every Thursday. As usual, what is now running on the English Wikipedia had a test run at Mediawiki during the previous week. If you haven't done so already, you can turn on VisualEditor by going to your preferences and choosing the item, " The reference dialog for all Wikipedias, especially the way it handles citation templates, is being redesigned. Please offer suggestions and opinions at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog. (Use your Wikipedia username/password to login there.) You can also drag and drop references (select the reference, then hover over the selected item until your cursor turns into the drag-and-drop tool). This also works for some templates, images, and other page elements (but not yet for text or floated items). References are now editable when they appear inside a media item's caption (bug 50459). There were a number of miscellaneous fixes made: Firstly, there was a bug that meant that it was impossible to move the cursor using the keyboard away from a selected node (like a reference or template) once it had been selected (bug 54443). Several improvements have been made to scrollable windows, panels, and menus when they don't fit on the screen or when the selected item moves off-screen. Editing in the "slug" at the start of a page no longer shows up a chess pawn character ("♙") in some circumstances (bug 54791). Another bug meant that links with a final punctuation character in them broke extending them in some circumstances (bug 54332). The "page settings" dialog once again allows you to remove categories (bug 54727). There have been some problems with deployment scripts, including one that resulted in VisualEditor being broken for an hour or two at all Wikipedias (bug 54935). Finally, snowmen characters ("☃") no longer appear near newly added references, templates and other nodes (bug 54712). Looking ahead: Development work right now is on rich copy-and-paste abilities, quicker addition of citation templates in references, setting media items' options (such as being able to put images on the left), switching into wikitext mode, and simplifying the toolbar. A significant amount of work is being done on other languages during this month. If you speak a language other than English, you can help with translating the documentation. For other questions or suggestions, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting problem reports at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback and other ideas at Wikipedia talk:VisualEditor.

The edit in question that you messaged me about (the removal of Jean Titelouze from the Oct.25th deaths) was bonafide - the Wikipedia page for Titelouze shows the death as October 24, not 25, and I double checked the death date in Oxford Music Online, an authoritative musicology reference source.

Article submission Dragons: Real Myths and Unreal CreaturesThanks for the message on my article submission Dragons: Real Myths and Unreal Creatures. I was trying to recreate this article from one I previously submitted under another account. That could be why it was looked at as a copyrighted piece since I did copy and paste from the original document which was blocked because I created it under my business name rather than as a personal user. I have rectified that situation, but cannot revise the original article. I did not merely copy and paste from another source to my knowledge. Most of the information is contained within the film. I did use IMDB and other sources, and did reference other books and articles that have been written on the film and dragon-related topics. If I need to be more specific about just the film, please let me know and I would be happy to revise the article to better suit Wikipedia's standards. It's my first article, and I tried to follow all guidelines closely. I would appreciate any specific feedback you may have. Perhaps I need to create something more specifically and succinctly about the film and its unique docu-fictional approach and have other contributors add the additional dragon information. Any help would be welcome. Thank you for your time and consideration. RichSwietek (talk) 14:03, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Article on Dragons: Real Myths and Unreal CreaturesUnderstood. Got it. Will focus on the film more specifically and reference sections of the website if necessary to augment my own thoughts. Appreciate the feedback. RichSwietek (talk) 16:21, 28 October 2013 (UTC) Could use your assistanceI was reviewing Abolfazl Ramezani Moghaddam and I did a google search to find that much of the page didn't make sense. The man according to the search was a UK national, the companies owned by other people (note one of the companies has just changed name)..I could be wrong. But I put a CSD on it hoping someone else could comment. The references are all links to the page itself which could be a coding mistake. But the owner has repeatedly removed the tag although I asked him not to. I have put it back a couple of times but I won't keep doing it because I won't go to war. But I could use a sensible third person to take a look at the page and check it. I will back off in the meantime and leave it alone. Will you have a peak? I ask because you seemed to be online - I also asked Salvidrim! to take a look but may have missed him being online. -- 🍺 Antiqueight confer 14:59, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Here's an odd one: Take a look at the history of this user page. The user page has been around for a couple of years, but all of the sudden it is being updated by one new user after another, and it is typically their only edit. Could all be innocent, of course, but it's certainly unusual and may be something to keep an eye on. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 21:49, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi JohnCD, You recently deleted the aforementioned addition. My good friend Marcus Roskill created this page, on my behalf prior to my return from the Arctic last month. I have spent the past 5 months in the Arctic on an expedition, in an area with limited charted or named geographical information, many historical navigational inaccuracies etc. Amongst other aspects of the exploration was to carry out seabed surveys and navigational inaccuracies. Even in todays world of satilites and GPS's there are many errors in the Arctic still. My expedition, through the North West Passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic is well recorded. The LAT/LONG and description of the bay now named 'Sophie Louise Bay', that Marcus Roskill has added has no known or recorded previous name, and in respect to naming it is being recognised by amongst others the Ocean Cruising Club, the Royal Cruising Club and others - all of who have current and historical links to the naming of previously uncharted or little charted / named locations. Therefore I am unclear why this claim / wikipedia addition has been deleted? Yours sincerely Richard Nicolson richardnicolson@hotmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.1.179 (talk) 21:15, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
John, Firstly thank you for your response. I am very new to the rules etc of Wikipedia so will find the time to establish the correct protocol etc. Likewise now we have returned from the Arctic I will be ensuring the claim is recorded via the relevant channels where possible including the Royal Crusining Club Pilotage foundation.

Experienced eyes, pleasePlease look at the contributions of the user PrincessKannapolis whom you have advises in the past, together with her declaration that she edits on behalf of her client. I have left a very clear note on her talk page about paid advocacy, but am probably standing too close to her work and articles to make a sensible judgment. Even were I an admin I would recuse myself from taking action and ask for other eyes. She has returned from her 3RR block and is straight back in action massaging her (I do mean 'her') article about her client, a lady who may or may not be notable, but appears not to be to me. Others may disagree. My concerns is that she is riding a coach and horses through paid COI editing. Your view may vary. I was tempted to take the issue to ANI, but, again, I am standing too close to the matter to be certain that I am reacting impartially. Whether I have always agreed with you in the past or not, and I cannot remember either way, I respect the way you analyse matters, so I am asking you to take a look.

If you would kindly look at the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWA_Central_States_Heavyweight_Championship . you'll see that Shane Somers is listed as the Central States Heavyweight champion, working for NWA Central-States Championship wrestling, a valid reference. Shane Somers is a wrestling superstar in the midwest. When this page is undeleted, I will update and add all necessary corrections and references to prove that he is real, and the things said about him in this article are true.

I did not initiate the page, however it was a very useful tool, especially pertaining to the media and those curious about my accomplishments and current whereabouts. I am a musician, have sold well over 100,000 records in my groups The Barr Brothers and The Slip. The Barr brothers are currently an internationally touring ensemble, a top selling Canadian band and have made multiple national television appearances in the US and Canada. As a drummer I have performed and recorded with such platinum selling artists as Natalie Merchant, Lhasa DeSela, Patrick Watson, Alexi Murdoch, amongst others. I have appeared on Conan O'Brien and David Letterman with my group The Barr Brothers, am currently on Secret City Records and have conducted interviews with several media sources including Rolling Stone Magazine. I have been written about in The New York times amongst others. Not trying to self aggrandize here, just wondering if these accomplishments fall short of a wiki entry. Why my page was taken down I am not sure, but my colleagues and band mates seem to have their info intact and I am asking that mine please be restored. I have had requests for the information to be available on wikipedia as I know it is a trusted source for those doing research on public figures. Thank you.

May I request you to delete my both accounts from Wikipedia as I am not able to do it at my end. It's a very complicated process for me to submit an article here. However, I respect the Wikipedia policies and will it try later with proper required resources, if any I got. The resource urls which I have provided on the Shyam Sunder Premi article are only the things which I have and there is nothing false. In those days (before 1993) there was not much more trend for online so will check the availability of required resources. Thanks again for your quick reply/guidance and sorry for your time taken.
