Anxiety/uncertainty management InteractionHi
Deletion of Red Circle articleHi John, You deleted this article seconds after it was published. How did you determine that quickly that it merited deletion? I'm trying to add individual album pages for everything British jazz label Whirlwind Recordings has released. Is that not allowed? Thanks, --Jasondcrane (talk) 16:03, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks!Thanks, John. Your response on my talk page makes perfect sense. I appreciate the thorough feedback. Oh, and when you respond this way to folks in the future, you might consider removing "You will probably tell me..." That turns a friendly, informative response into something that sounds a bit condescending. Just my $.02. --Jasondcrane (talk) 16:43, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Jay Dubya (talk) 12:26, 22 March 2014 (UTC) Music Massage TherapyHi, I'm just writing to you to request the restoration of a page "Music Massage Therapy" I was actually logging in yesterday to put a link on to the talk page discussing the articles deletion, to add some proof of existence I got from a website, but by the time I logged in, it had just been deleted. I'm not too sure how Wikipedia works properly, so I don't know if this is sufficient, but I thought I'd try anyway, cos I think the therapy is a good concept. So , here's the link I was going to put on to the talk page discussing the article's deletion. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/renford/2014/01/29/i-am-well-show-with-choldagh It's funny because it was this interview that made me look it up here in the first place, I wanted more info. And then I discovered it was nominated for deletion!I've no idea why this page doesn't show up when you do internet searches for it, but anyhow here it is. I hope this is adequate for you, if not let me know what more is needed to get it restored and I'll see what I can do. Pintfin (talk) 13:17, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Rob ManessJohn, I was out of town for a bit and I just noticed yesterday that you deleted "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Maness" on the grounds that: "if he wins the nomination and goes into the general election as the party's actual candidate". There is no party primary in Louisiana, it is a jungle primary where they all run against eachother, and currently Rob Maness, Bill Cassidy and Mary Landrieu are the top three candidates for the jungle primary. Additionally, considering that he has 118k Facebook likes to Mary Landrieu's 11k (https://www.facebook.com/LouisianaSenateVet, https://www.facebook.com/senatormarylandrieu), and the fact that he was a noted Air Force Colonel, I think he has enough notoriety to qualify for a wiki entry. Let me know your thoughts. Khronos21 (talk) 20:11, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
Mainframe (band)Hi JohnCD My apologies for contacting you directly, I am new to Wikipedia and it takes a while to figure out how to use this platform correctly. I have been working on the Mainframe (band) page in Wikipedia to tidy up the page and to provide independent external references to validate the commercially released singles of this band. I believe I have been able to make the page meet the guidelines of WP:BAND (especially point 2). I have also add a *Keep request in the debate which is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mainframe_(band) Could you tell me if I have done all this correctly? I hope the page for Mainframe (band) can be kept. My apologies again for the contact, I am sure you are busy enough.

Questionable Edit on Your PartWhy did you revert my change on the May 23rd page? It was obviously correct. In fact, there was a clear link identifying it as a fact at the end of the line. Please explain. Best wishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.226.95.18 (talk • contribs) 13:04, 31 March 2014
I don't trust your link in the slightest. It's not even from a source at the UK Government, or from a reliable commercial source, like a Zimbabwean vendor. The longest day can vary based on your latitude, occasionally longitude, and your altitude relative to cloud cover levels over certain mountain peaks and the presence of reptiles and other large fauna. Things are not as simple as you make them out to be, my friend (hope you don't mind me calling you that), but the fact remains, facts are fact, and the change regarding May 23rd was identified as one by someone at the Wikipedia machine. With editors such as you at the helm, I trust that implicitly. I also trust the authorized and authenticated go code I had to make such a posting. The facts are indisputable. Best wishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.226.95.18 (talk) 13:36, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
Your vernacular regarding codswallop was unfamiliar to me. It prompted me to research it, so I thank you kindly for exposing me to such a new and exciting term. I understand your role here with the Wikipedia machine, but you were not the original person who recognized the statement as a fact. Just as I researched codswallop, you should perhaps learn about go codes. They mean very little if they aren't authorized (which, of course, implies it's been previously verified) and authenticated using the accepted three party system. They are the basis for any and all permissions within the digital world, and in anything involving the use of the warmer portion of the stratosphere for exploratory or associated research purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.226.95.18 (talk) 17:41, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

User:Tedickey vandalism / WP:WTAF abuseHello! Can you please investigate User:Tedickey edit history? I suspect him in hidden vandalism. This person abuses "WP:WTAF" rule and removes content selectively. He removes information references otherwise useful to other editors and readers. Sometimes he hides behind WP:WTAF sometimes not.

Deleted sandbox draftAlso you mention "crackpot" theories of "mind control". Are you stating that MkUltra was never a program? There are articles about it on Wikipedia. The very same lawyer who defended Dr. Sidney Gottlieb was the head lawyer on my late father's estate. There was and is nothing "crackpot" about it. That was a libelous statement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.0.172.159 (talk) 04:48, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority 17:05, 23 April 2014 (UTC)MMinetti This message is an appeal of the Wikipedia decision to delete a Wikipedia page describing the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority. Wikipedia explained the reasons why the page was deleted. As such, we would like to work with Wikipedia to resolve the issues through conduct of the following: • removing the Authority logo, • paraphrasing original source material in another fashion and retaining the referenced sources (i.e., not quoted verbatim from external sources), • verifying that the page avoids a promotional tone, as that is not our intent, and • emphasizing the multiple, independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage. Wikipedia originally asked me, the page author, to add in a variety of external sources, which were incorporated. In addition, new information (i.e., event report numbers from healthcare facilities in Pennsylvania) will soon be available to be added, further justifying reinstatement of the page. A few weeks ago, I was trying to ensure my user name, MMinetti, would not display as the page title; rather that “Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority” would appear. After additional research, I found that my user name would not appear. However, I had previously communicated directly with Wikipedia editors, and we freely discussed their concerns that a formal name change was associated with promotional editing, following which we resolved how to display a title rather than user name. However, the transcript of this process could appear misleading, out of context. Shortly after the page was live, I was notified of the speedy deletion, and I contested the deletion. I explained with the following text: “The information submitted would be reviewed and edited where Wikipedia is requesting and that the information is good public knowledge information.” Moments later my page was officially deleted. I freely disclose my affiliation with the Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority. The Pennsylvania Patient Safety Authority contracts ECRI Institute, the entity that employs me. Given the above suggested solutions, I can safely assure you that there will be no copyright violation. I respectfully request that you restore the page so we can work to meet Wikipedia standards. Thank you for your consideration, MMinetti
Good Sources Not Enough to Save ArticleI was hoping you could help a new editor recover an article on Canadian UNICEF artist T.M. Ananny that was deleted after a few days of it's creation. It seems that there is one editor who does not want to see this article on Wikipedia as it has been deleted before. The article has good sources: Canadian coin commission, book and magazine articles, links to many North American galleries that show the work of the artist, 12 times selected work for UNICEF Christmas cards. I think there is a problem here, hmmm. As well, an "orphan tag" was placed on the article, when I researched on Wikipedia how to make a link to other articles based on similar subject material, I was accused of being a vandal. Help! I just wanted to contribute to Wikipedia and now I feel a little bit unwelcome here. Hope you can make things right!! Gladbot (talk) 00:52, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

article on I. JanevDear JohnCD, I am informing you that new ver. of article on Janev is in the procedure. [1] Regards, --178.222.110.165 (talk) 20:30, 25 April 2014 (UTC) Help requestDear JohnCD I guess I am doing the wrong thing but I could not start another section on the other page (mine) under your message. The "{{helpme}}" is probably throwing it out now. But I will get the hang of it. I would like to know what is more common? Is it to edit an article and see if it is accepted (I am not sure what that process is) or to try and contact people by their user names and see if it is OK first? If the second, do you send them the marked up text in wikiML or submit at the main entry area and tell them you did it? Thanks a lot for the information. There is a lot there to go through and very comprehensive so it is likely I will be quiet for a while while I try and absorb it! It seems a reasonable ML but being new that makes it difficult at first - of course. Is there are software that provides a "browser view"? I use Ultraedit for a number of language edits and it is really useful with HTML to toggle "Browser View". If not it is OK. I started with Ditroff so this could not be that bad. I feel much better with somewhere to go and make progress! Cheers jdw518 Jdw518 (talk) 12:35, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

PradeepChowdhury (talk) 14:06, 29 April 2014 (UTC) Your Opinion on COIIn February and March of this year you were instrumental in helping me to rewrite and reinstate Leslie Cornfeld's Wikipedia page. As you know, I was transparent about my conflict of interest and actively sought the input of volunteer editors. Recently a seemingly new Wikipedian created a discussion on the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard questioning my approach of disclosing my conflicts of interest, proposing cited edits/additions, etc. It's my feeling that unless the public relations community can operate transparently, ethically, and within Wikipedia's Terms of Use in order to work together with volunteer editors, that many will resort to anonymous and potentially contentious Wikipedia editing. I am concerned that if transparency is penalized, others will be less inclined to follow the same path of taking an above board approach. And, as I'm sure you know, the Wikipedia Board is reviewing a potential Terms of use/Paid contribution amendment [6]. It's become evident how important the handling of paid contributions is to the community. If you wouldn't mind, I would really appreciate your honest take on this on the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard.

Bundy StandoffI hope you'll take a look at the talk page, this article has become nothing more than an attack piece WP:ALIVE and alternate viewpoints are not tolerated. This is a historical case, but it is about the 11 Western States having some input on the land within their borders. Bundy did what he had to, to get the attention of Congress, the Federal Courts are a dead end. Finally, there should be no contention about who owns the public lands, this is about management.

VandalismHello John. Yes, I would like more help if you can give it. The following revisions were made to the "Brad Tiemann" page I had previously revised on April 10, 2014: (cur | prev) 17:07, 13 April 2014 24.247.72.151 (talk) . . (7,715 bytes) (-172) . . (→Biography) (undo) (cur | prev) 15:40, 13 April 2014 24.247.72.151 (talk) . . (7,887 bytes) (+13) . . (→Biography) (undo) I was advised of this by Mr. Tiemann last night and he said these revisions are not true. I then changed them back to my last revision by "undoing" them. As you can see, there is an IP address for the person who made these false statements. How can we block this person and is there a way to find out who the person is? I was able to get long/lat coordinates for the IP address and it zeros in on a house in Michigan apparently owned by a doctor, but is this correct? How can someone enter something so damaging into a page without being someone having an account? How can anyone just come in and change something on a whim? Any help you can provide would be appreciated.JMack01 (talk) 17:31, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

My deleted articleHi JohnCD, I think you reviewed or deleted my last article titled Twice As Good. Can you please allow it to be reviewed or help me to create a new one? The article has been deleted because there was not enough credible proof of who we are but let me say: -Twice As Good is the name of a music act/band/duo/group lead by Paul & Richard Steward of Northern California, USA. -Twice As Good is a trademarked name for a performing act/band/duo/group, owned by Paul Steward. -Twice As Good has won a Native American Music Award (you can see on Native American Music Awards wiki page) in 2010 for Best Blues Recording. It was for their album 'If That's All Right With You'. The Native American Music Awards are significant enough to the nation and the world that they can be listed on wikipedia. Therefore so do the winners. -Twice As Good has been written about in 2 large and credible newspapers, which verify all that I say. The Press Democrat of Sonoma County CA and the San Francisco Chronicle of San Francisco CA. I know this group is worth having a wikipedia article. Wikipedia also is pushing efforts to gather more articles regarding Native Americans and Paul & Rich Steward are Native American. It is important because their name is unique, it also has social ties to a mind-set or view of the world, as mentioned by a famous book by Condoleezza Rice.

Request starting a new entry for an article previously deletedHi JohnCD, I wanted to start a new entry for an academic medical journal, Surgical Neurology International, for which an entry was attempted in Wikipedia by another contributor several months ago. Apparently a Wikipedia editor believed the journal wasn't notable enough. Surgical Neurology International is an important neurosurgical and neuroscience journal founded in 2010 and is already one of the highest circulation journals in the world. I have been working on an entry and would like to submit it, but I'm requesting your permission to create this page. Interestingly, I have researched the contributions of the Wikipedia editor who contested the notability of this journal and found that several of his entries (contributions) consisted of medical journals much less notable than Surgical Neurology International. I was not a party to the previous entry, but I believe that my submission will be within the Wikipedia guidelines for a medical journal stub. Thank you for your consideration in this matter in advance. LeBassRobespierre (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

After the user is blocked, it is likely that some of the articles may have to be reduced to barebones because I cannot tell how far damage the Pumpie socks have done to date.

The cite menu offers quick access to up to five citation templates. If your wiki has enabled the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, press "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" and select the appropriate template from the menu. Existing citations that use these templates can be edited either using the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" tool or by selecting the reference and choosing the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu. Read the user guide for more information. Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor team has mostly worked on the new citation tool, improving performance, reducing technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. The biggest change in the last few weeks is the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". The new citation menu offers a locally configurable list of citation templates on the main toolbar. It adds or opens references using the simplified template dialog that was deployed last month. This tool is in addition to the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" item in the "Insert" menu, and it is not displayed unless it has been configured for that wiki. To enable this tool on your wiki, see the instructions at VisualEditor/Citation tool. Eventually, the VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for these citations. When this long-awaited feature is created, you could add an ISBN, URL, DOI or other identifier to the citation tool, and VisualEditor would automatically fill in as much information for that source as possible. The concept drawings can be seen at mw:VisualEditor/Design/Reference Dialog, and your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted.
Looking ahead: The toolbar from the PageTriage extension will no longer be visible inside VisualEditor. More buttons and icons will be accessible from the keyboard. The "Keyboard shortcuts" link will be moved out of the "Page options" menu, into the "Help" menu. Support for upright image sizes (preferred for accessibility) and inline images is being developed. You will be able to see the Table of Contents while editing. Looking further out, the developers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments. VisualEditor will be available to all users on mobile devices and tablet computers. It will be possible to upload images to Commons from inside VisualEditor. If you have questions or suggestions for future improvements, or if you encounter problems, please let everyone know by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Thursday, 19 June 2014 at 10:00 UTC. If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only or at meta:VisualEditor/Newsletter for any project.

India is already hideously under-represented in WikiBios. Such articles should be encouraged. Dr. PremRaj Pushpakaran, despite heading some of the most famous US universities like Harvard, had a distinguished academic career as teacher and scientist. True notable people like him always seem to be left out on Wiki! because the person has received significant coverage in reliable sources as a philanthropist; hence the topic passes for publishing.The subject is clearly notable from the sources (URLs) listed.The sources as references, which I've checked, are more than enough to rescue the article. Individual claims are a matter of normal editing. The sources (URLs)provided can be briefly quoted if more is needed.I urge very strongly to keep the article . As a person of article, he has already earned enough to be in the pages of Wikipedia by now. Remember, Wikipedia is not a pulp newspaper that keeps deleting or 'forgetting' articles as someone just feels like.Those who want to recommend this page to be deleted have neither a vision about Wikipedia nor an idea about the very reasons why the page should be there. It is not because the person has become a 'superstar human being' or an eternal soul, but due to the very viral NOTABILITY he aquired (and continues to aquire) through his calibre. He has singlehandedly strived, succeeded and proved that it is possible to contemplate and execute such research projects for humanity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.244.234.186 (talk • contribs) 02:55, 31 May 2014

Request for reconsideration for page you deleted on Ezekiel W HodsdonHI John I accept that you deleted my Ezekiel W Hodsdon page because my first justification was I agree not valid according to Wikipedia definitions However, there is another reason why this individual earns the right to his own position in an Encyclopedia generally and Wikipedia in particular and that is that he was the FIRST POLICE OFFICER ON THE BOSTON POLICE FORCE TO DIE IN THE LINE OF DUTY I have heard it said that the Boston Police Force was the first police force in the country, the USA. Therefore, EWH was the first police officer to be killed in the line of duty in the USA I have also heard that the USA was the first country in the world to have public police departments If this is true then EWH is the first police officer to die in the line of public duty in the world Now, upon my own investigation of this claim, using the BPD page on Wikipedia in fact, I think I found that the BPD was not in fact the first police force in the country so that part of the claim false However, the first part of the claim that he was the first police officer on the BPD to die in the line of duty is true and evidence for this being true is the fact that the BPD erected a monument stating this in Maverick Square in Boston. I have a Boston Globe article about the installation of this monument, and there is the monument itself. If someone is walking around in Maverick Square in Boston and they would like to know more about who EWH is then I think a Wikipedia page about him would then be justified. They could then learn that in fact this EWH is related via very standard accepted genealogical connections to: Henry Stimson, in the FDR Administration and earlier Administrations, who is a Sons of the American Revolution Alfred Lee Loomis, also related to Stimson, who was a Wall St banker and scientist inventor of LORAN Jeremiah Hobbs who was one of 6 founders of Norway, Maine along with his brother Amos Hobbs So if you would reconsider allowing a page on EWH I would like to work with you on making a page suitable for the Wikipedia guidelines Thank you very much Another request/question about my account on WikipediaI know that the sandbox is an available workspace on my personal Wikipedia account, and in fact I used to have a page there that I started a LONG TIME AGO. Maybe more than a year actually. Now I would like to get this EWH page going but my sandbox was full. now I look across the top of my Muonphysicist account and I see Muonphysicist 0 Talk Sandbox Preferences Beta Watchlist Contributions Log out But I don't see what I want to see in this list which is my own workspace, where my own pages that I am working on ALONE are listed. I think Watchlist is a different concept for pages that already exist and which I want to follow if anyone makes changes to them. But that is not what I want. What I want is only pages I work on privately. Why isn't there a category across the top of my own account which is my own "workspace" which instead has its own name called: "Pages I am working on" or "Ongoing page projects" or some suitable one word title which means essentially these, like for example "workspace". Sandbox is not quite right. I want to see not a single internal edit page, but rather just an nicely formatted list page. Then i can click on each of the pages in the list which I am working on and THEN I get sent to its edit page. Do you know how I can use Sandbox to show me not the edit field box but rather a list of pages I am working on instead? This list I want to see, should be able to accommodate 10 or 100 pages I feel like working on. Maybe I will take 5 years to finish them after I start them. I just want all the pages I dream up to have an entry in this list on my own Wikipedia workspace. I don't want it to be public for others to edit in addition to me. I want them to only be editable by me. Where can my list reside? How do I get this list going? Why isn't there a Workspace there already? Now what I have done as a workaround is that I created a set of pages in my Watchlist area and so I am now simply watching my own pages. Can others watch these pages if they use my account name prefix correctly? or are these only viewable and editable by me alone? I don't think what I want belongs in Watchlist. I think what I want belongs in a new title across the top of my account page. Is it possible I can customize the titles across the top of my account page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muonphysicist (talk • contribs) 06:50, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
User Andrew Kojack KojacktonDear John, I wanted to make a page on Wikipedia as my friend Christian Azar had done so. How do I make a page like his? Wait for you respond! Best regards, Andrew Kojackton — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.202.240.11 (talk) 05:30, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
Ah I see you deleted the page just as I was in the process of declining the speedy.. first time I had an edit conflict of this sort ;) It's not a big concern for me but thought I'd say a couple things about why I would've declined. Firstly there's WP:BITE. The user is an obvious good-faithed newbie unaware of our guidelines. This was confirmed to me when I first became aware of this page upon them coming to the IRC help channel for guidance. They also contested, leaving a polite note requesting additional time on the talk page, which is another reason I would've given a courtesy decline of the speedy. Furthermore, it's not so much unambiguous promotion as it is a case of obvious COI. I was actually preparing to advise them on WP:Autobiography and other relevant pages before you chose to delete. In my view the page was still valid as a userspace draft, and did also have some potential, as I noticed the user attempted to add a couple references. A little guidance I think may have been preferable in this situation to outright deletion, but like I said initially I'm not that invested in this and just wanted to voice my thoughts, and I read your reply to her and don't disagree with it. -- Ϫ 16:49, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
BLP problemsHi JohnCD, Thank you for your help with the information you removed from Talk:Bob Cooke (DJ). I've got the same issue on Talk:7HO FM. I requested admin help there too and a warning was place on the page but I really just want the posts removed and I doubt the users responsible are going to do it voluntarily. I realize I could do it myself but I think it carries more weight if it's done by an admin. I hope you can help.Trimways (talk) 08:06, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Republican SettlementHi John, We have been using this term, Republican Settlement to describe "working group homes" for some time now. I am looking into how we can satisfy your cite requirements other than giving you actual examples which are then being classified as promoting these organizations. How do you cite an example without mentioning an example and then being accused of promoting it when you do?

Question Concerning E-mail ThrottleI see that there was some discussion of my request at WP:AN#Allowing email survey. What do you think? Is this still possible? Should I respond to some of their requests (create a project page on meta:Research:Subject recruitment, post the text of my e-mail)? Or have you received the sort of objections that rule this out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taylordw (talk • contribs) 15:24, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
Want to delete the user JosephnicolaHi John, I am Joseph Elias owner/founder of Joseph Nicola brand. I have tried to create a wikipedia page for my company but you have deleted the article because the article was promotional. Now I have re-written fresh article with a motto to offer information about my company. Now I forgot the login credentials of my account 'Josephnicola', so its my request if you can delete the account so that I create new account with the same user Id and create my business page. Waiting for your positive response. Regards Joseph Elias — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.71.119.110 (talk) 05:05, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
