Userfying a DRV-failed article
Please have a look at the bottom of my talk page and an exchange with User:7shaquan about Ciara Bravo. Although I think the chances of this becoming a useful article are about a billion to one against, I took the deleted content and placed it into a sandbox page. (It's failed AfD, DRV and been SALTed so far.) I also laid out the only possible path to get this article into mainspace, which as far as I know involves you as the last deleting admin. My apologies if I've created unnecessary work for you. Frankly, I think we have now given this topic about as much time as it warrants and I have been clear that my opinion is that he must do the work on his own. I understand the policy is that he has to request your permission before returning to DRV but you can handle this however you wish. I'll be keeping an eye on this sandbox page for potential deletion, if it's abandoned. If you have any questions or problems, I am of course at your service.

Good block of BubbaahKinns
I saw you blocked this user after they made two attack pages. I personally think (a) a block for making two attack pages might have been overkill, and (b) there's no kill like overkill. Good block! (Would you like to become a WikiDalek?) --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:44, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- My personal rule is that a second attack page after an attack warning = permanent block. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:48, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello,
I'm trying to understand why the DefenseWeb Technologies page was rejected.
I have followed the guidelines put forth by Wikipedia, and find that what I submitted is very similar in scope to other company pages (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RightNow as an example).
Can you help me understand this so that I can get this article accepted?
Thanks
MegMegdavis00 (talk) 22:58, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- The RightNow article includes independent sources that support the company's notability (including its listing on NASDAQ). The sources cited in the DefenseWeb article appear to be PR releases, one of which carries the byline of a DefenseWeb officer. See WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

hi, I was planning to create a new page on Indian Tourist Development Corporation (ITDC) aka Ashok Group of hotels but noticed that you have deleted a page named ITDC... so i was just checking if it was some other itdc or you thought ITDC is not important enough to be included in Wikipedia..

Please help with an edit filter problem
I can't figure out what caused this editor to set off the filter. None of the watch words seem to appear in either the lines he added or the whole article before or after. Am I reading the code wrong? Either way, this filter has been set off twice in the past few days, and is very difficult to work with because even false positives are still often controversial edits that I'd be hesitant to add myself. —Soap— 01:23, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

You deleted this as "Expired PROD, concern was: Violates WP:MADEUP and WP:CRYSTAL." but if I read the history correctly, it was created only today so the prod can hardly be expired. it also had an (invalid) speedy tag, which i was about to remove when you deleted it.

You deleted this under WP:CSD#A1 "No context". The deleted article said, in part "It is an Edmontonian Radio Station. Edmonton, AB. in Canada." A google on "Now radio" Edmonton finds several hits. I think this was enough context for anyone interested to learn what the article was about and where to look for information to improve the article. I suggest that this was an unwise speedy. However, one of the hits is CIAB-FM which seems to be a better article on the same topic. i am going to recreate Now radio as a redirect. Please be careful with speedys though.

Thank you for reverting an Edit on my Talk Page. It is much appreciated. Thanks Floul1 | My Talkpage | Vandalise Here 15:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
I just saw in the history of the Science Reference Desk that you reverted and blocked this user, citing abuse of multiple accounts. Could you point out to me why you believe this is a sock? He seems to only have two edits under this account, and neither is problamatic. In fact, the edit you reverted [1] was a response to a request for clarification from another editor (if he shouldn't be here, we may as well nuke the whole thread, although at this point others have given good faith answers to a reasonable question). Thank You. Buddy431 (talk) 06:20, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- This appears to be the Avril vandal/reference desk troll. See the block log for User:Jpgordon. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:23, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- Was this just based on the behavior? Because honostly, it looks different than the ones Jpgordon blocked: most significantly, it was created several days after all of the other accounts were created and blocked. The question also had a bit more context then the others, and he did respond when asked for clarification. I suppose it's suspicious that he creates an account and the first thing he does is go to the reference desk, but I'm not seeing much that indicates that this is the Av-Lav troll in particular. Buddy431 (talk) 15:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- It was just based on behavior (the really goofy question to the ref desk), but I will unblock and we'll see what happens. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:44, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Filter 301
I saw you made this filter to stop blu aardvark, but I'll be surprised if it gets many hits, see [2], almost all of those are blu aardvark, some 350ish, all with talk page and email removed, thats all the ones tagged as confirmed or suspected plus another hundred or so i found in the new page log. Considering he claimed to have something like 100-175 socks I'll be surprised if he has enough left to make the filter worth while (and its fun to imagine him going through his list for hours seeing block notice after block notice). However, it might be worth changing/adapting the filter for another unblock troll, the abominable wiki troll has started making unblock requests with old socks that include graphic images. I blocked all the ones tagged but there are probably more. --Jac16888Talk 16:52, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind explaining what's just happened? I saw this come up on my watchlist - I'm confused as to why you deleted it then restored it after vandalism, rather than just moving it back. Just for interest's sake, if you have time! CheesyBiscuit (talk) 14:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Articles for creation
Hi.
Thank you very much for helping to review articles for creation, but I have one request: When you change the status of an article, to decline it or put it on hold, please leave the rest of the template with the date information etc. This information is used by a bot, an automated process.
For example here - instead, you should have put;
{{AFC submission|d|bio|ts=20100313122318|u=194.36.160.2|ns=5}} <!--- Important, do not remove this line before article has been created. --->
Once again, thanks for helping out - please do review more. If you need more help with this, ask on my own talk page, or talk to other reviewers with this link. Thanks, Chzz ► 21:22, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Longer block required?
Hi~!

Note also that User:Scania N113 had just came out from a one month block ending 28 February 2010. Thoughts? --Dave ♠♣♥♦1185♪♫™ 05:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Please help with deleted page
I created an article about The Forgotten International through Arcticle Wizard. I moved it today and it was immediately deleted probably because it doesn't meet the notability criteria. I'm not sure what was the exact violation or where should I make changes. I'm sure that information about TFI is useful to the public since it's a non-profit fighting to alleviate poverty. Please advise whether I can receive the content of the article somehow since I lost it completely and what changes are needed so that it's not deleted next time.

Deleted Article
Hi. I have created an article quite a while ago named enVision, which is one of the most popular software systems in document management market in my country. We have been forwarding a lot of people seeking for information to Wikipedia pages; where we used to share information. Today, we have been informed by a few people that the article is no longer available. May I ask the reason for deleting it? I claim that the article deserved to be published since it is searched by people in my country quite frequently, even if it might not be a Microsoft product. I kindly request your reconsideration about deleting the article and suggest recovering it for the reasons explained above. With my best regards. Alpcos (talk) 16:42, 16 March 2010 (UTC)alpcos

Article Rachasty is back!
Hi NawlinWiki. I noticed on User talk:Historyrekishi that you have deleted Rachasty before and warned the author. Just letting you know that he/she has recreated the article again. I checked wiki-ja and found that the Japanese version is being proposed for deletion, too. Kittensandrainbows (talk) 06:53, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Lourdes grotto
You deleted this article. By the way, you did this immediately, without the courtesy notifying me or giving me a chance to save the content (which was negligible in this case, as it happens).
You said "Not enough context to identify article's subject". I think there was sufficient context for an initial stub; however that's not my main point.
I looked up the subject as I found a reference to a church in Belgium having a "Lourdes grotto"; this puzzled me, as a Lourdes grotto, rather THE Lourdes grotto, is at Lourdes, only. I found that there are quite a lot of Catholic "Lourdes grottos" in various parts of the world; presumably they are essentially copies of the original; I gave up counting after 13 Wikipedia instances of the phrase "Lourdes grotto" unassociated with Lourdes.
This establishes the NEED for an article (possibly a dictionary/Wiktionary article rather than Wikipedia, though you didn't suggest this. At present there is no such entry in Wiktionary). What I actually wrote was absolutely bare-bones, and was intended as a start to be built on by somebody who knows more—aka a stub—but does explain the phrase; if the article hadn't been deleted I'd have added some instances (in my opinion it needs an explanation, not just a disambiguation list).
Incidentally, I have no slightest wish to establish or favour the idea of such grottoes, just to explain what appears to be a fairly common institution—I am not promoting, nor do I even hold, a point of view in favour.
So if you could reinstate the stub, I'll add a few examples to it, and maybe ask for the help of an expert in the subject.Pol098 (talk) 16:22, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

User:GovGuru
has replied on his talk page because yours is semi'd. In any case, the company he works for is asked by the county to host the county's maps and I think they could be added if the "hosted by XXX" is changed to just "from OGI", because it's technically the "official" appraisal map for the county. fetchcomms☛ 17:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think even a "from OGI" is appropriate, but I've emailed the user and said basically what you just said. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:32, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- I think he got that from the other link that said "hosted by" something-or-other, and it probably isn't the best idea either, so I've told him if he wants to remove that from the other links, he can. fetchcomms☛ 18:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Legal Nurse Consulant
Sorry for the undos/redos on the Legal Nurse Consultant page (and the "cookies" edit). I believe the NYTimes is considered a reliable source regarding Vickie Milazzo. She is considered the person who created the legal nurse consulting nursing specialty. There are no outside links to any advertising, etc. and strictly a link to the NYTimes. I believe this should pass a "sniff test" and pass as a historical reference. Let me know if there is anything I can/should do to correct this to keep the reference. I have not linked to anything that would go directly to Ms. Milazzo's website, etc. and have only linked in the footnote. Again, if there's something more appropriate to do, I'd be happy to follow all posted rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TomZiemba (talk • contribs)
I've reviewed it - the sentence that she "created the profession" was in the photo caption that accompanied the original article. The article as shown states that she "pioneered the field."

Removed PROD from Richard E. Meyer
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Richard E. Meyer, which you proposed for deletion, because I think that this article should not be deleted from Wikipedia. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!.
Although this article is not written well in terms of WP guidelines, I don't believe it needs deletion, but instead needs improvement. A quick source search reveals that this person is most likely notable, so that's not the issue.

Kol Ami of Frederick
I am contacting you regarding the article Kol Ami of Frederick that you recently deleted. Before I go to deletion review, I am requesting it be restored directly.
The article had a contested PROD, so it should not have been speedy deleted. Had I known it was up for speedy deletion, I would have contested that too, which I can do, since I did not create it. I would NOT mind it being discussed at Afd, but I would prefer it being sent to Afd, where the article could be viewed and improved during the discussion. Xyz7890 (talk) 01:05, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- If an article is eligible for speedy deletion, I don't think it matters that someone put a prod tag on it instead. In this case, there was absolutely nothing in the article that asserted that this congregation was notable per WP:ORG. There are thousands upon thousands of individual churches and synagogues in the world. Many people write articles about them, and most are speedily deleted -- the ones that aren't usually assert some kind of historic significance. What is it about this synagogue that meets any of the notability criteria of WP:ORG? NawlinWiki (talk) 01:52, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Per WP:CSD guidelines, The creator of a page may not remove a Speedy Delete tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. I was NOT the creator; I only had it on my watchlist because I made a minor edit on it one time. Regardless of notability, as the non-creator, it is my right to contest any prod of speedy tag, which would thereby require it to be sent to afd. That is POLICY. What I am requesting is that it get restored, and if need be, *I* will make the afd proposal myself, though I would first look into improving it. Xyz7890 (talk) 13:14, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

- Semi'd the UFC Live article. I'm not really seeing so much vandalism on the others that a semi would be needed. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 02:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the first, but are you serious? We're getting battered by vandalism. Has also started on Brandon Vera and Jon Jones (fighter) too now. Please protect it because this is ridiculous. @Paralympiakos (talk) 02:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Blocked a couple of the IPs that seem to be causing the most trouble. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I was checking the recent changes log and found this. I don't think this is where Vishnu1.218 meant for this to go. And I don't think AfD pages fall under CSD. Whispering 11:44, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Additional Feedback
Thanks for your feedback. I made additional edits, hopefully, I was able to tone down some of the language. Can you please take a look and let me know if this now works? SandboxMichellecatin (talk) 22:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Baked barney
Without a doubt. The obsession with Jewish critics of Israel, the content of the edits, the names used, and the frequent citations of Steven Plaut are all characteristic of Runtshit. See also User:Truthprofessor. You may draw your own further conclusions from this vandal's editing behaviour. I will tag all of these with Runtshit suspect tag.

Your closure of ShaneDawsonTV
Hi there! While I fully support ShaneDawsonTV being closed as a speedy delete, it's generally considered not appropriate to close your own AfD. In future could you take the time to flag down an uninvolved admin to do the close, so as to preserve the integrity of the process? Thank you. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:32, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sure. My thought was that I would have speedied this in the first place had I been aware of the previous AFD. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:46, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
I've amended the content on the user page as you suggested. Still getting my head round formatting but if you can give me some pointers on whether the content is now on track it would be appreciated.
Thanks Webnaut (talk) 23:03, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I think this article should be deleted as its a duplicate of Systems Development Life Cycle. and should be replaced by a redirect :-) thank you MaenK.A.Talk 12:47, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

I see, so if I source more external sources then I stand in better stead? Please note, the first reference to the fatherhood institute is an external reference, they are unconnected to WWM. I'll amend and let you know. Thanks for your help. Webnaut (talk) 22:35, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi. You semi-protected this article in October 2008. Do you still think that's needed? Thanks. Maurreen (talk) 06:11, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'll try unprotecting, let's see what happens. NawlinWiki (talk) 10:33, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. Maurreen (talk) 15:02, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- You were right and I was wrong. The page has been vandalized about every two hours since you unprotected it. Sorry to waste your time. I had no idea the page would be such a target. Maurreen (talk) 16:39, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Can you look at his latest contribs. This user is inputting NPOV informaiton. I can no longer ocntinue reverting to not break 3rr. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 03:49, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
You have deleted this article within a few hours of me putting it up. Had you asked, I would have explained to you that 41 Club is a social networking and charitable group, and part of the Round Table family of clubs, and that I am one of the PR and Media officers for Round Table.
Membership of our clubs is not as high as it once was, and that therefore we are keen to get as much information out there about us as possible. This includes each club having its own web presence, and (hopefully) media like Wikipedia.
Sadly, round Table and 41 Club do not have lots of money to pay ghost writers to write all this stuff for us. We all do it for free in our own time. We do therefore reproduce the same material from site to site to get the word out. For example, the material you got from St Albans 41 Club's website, I actually got from our national 41 Club website
I have modelled our 41 Club page on our Round Table page, so don't understand what the problem is?
What do I need to do to get our page restored?
Kind regards ~~Trevor Durham~~ Press & Media Officer Cardiff Round Table cardiffroundtable@yahoo.co.uk

Semi-protected talk page
Hi,
Arising from Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 March 30 I noticed your talk page is indefinitely semi-protected. I haven't gone and looked for a history of vandalism, but would you consider either unprotecting it or setting up a subpage for IPs and new editors who want to contact you?

Hi ... I've included a few more external references to the charity, mainly from bodies who have funded or piloted work done by the charity. Would you mind taking a look to see if I'm more on track? Thanks! Webnaut (talk) 15:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for the pointers, I'll see if I can source some. Are parliamentary bodies sufficient? If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatherhood_Institute, who are a similar organisation they only cite two verifiable sources, both parliamentary, not news sources. Does this constitute a web source which is independant? Thanks for your help. Webnaut (talk) 21:45, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Protection of Uw-vandalism1
Was the full protection of {{Uw-vandalism1}} really necessary? There has been only one instance of vandalism in the past three months, and it's not really a high risk template anyway since it's always transcluded. Any chance it could be unprotected at least for autoconfirmed users? Laurent (talk) 22:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi ... I've sourced some links from Peer publications, a news source, and some House of Commons notes on one of the charitys projects. I've put them as links so far under 'references' if you'd like to look at them. I'll write up the project they reference and link to them from that paragraph. Sorry for the hand-holding, but do you think I'm on the right track? Thanks! Webnaut (talk) 23:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

UniFocus page
This page was deleted but while it is about a company there are MANY pages just like it all over Wikipedia that just state the company and what they do. I can find many examples if needed. What is the process for disputing this deletion? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniFocus I realize the "reasoning" behind the deletion but it's not carried out consistently at all. This page was every bit as notable as many others to the 75 employees that work at the company. If there is something we can write on the page to make it more suitable - please let me know. SteveFarina (talk) 14:06, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- You could go to Wikipedia:Deletion review. But first, read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:26, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Why this reversion?
Can you explain what's going on here? There seems to be an editor denying the village was ethnically cleansed in the lead contrary to what it says in the body, and determined to remove all the background of how the villagers lived. 80.40.225.228 (talk) 16:43, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- "Ethnic cleansing" is a provocative term, and there is at least one established editor besides the blocked sockpuppets who opposes the change. I would suggest you discuss this on the article talk page and see if you can work out a compromise version. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:12, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Jimmy Wales
I am not sure that re-opening the AfD as a joke is a good idea. A new editor came to the article tonight. She has mostly contribs to one article that was nominated for an AfD that I helped save. Well, she started modifying the dates on his article which go contrary to Jimbo's expressed statement. Now another user has followed and done the same. I have made reverts but don't want it to appear I am edit-warring. I did not issue a warning on the first change as I viewed it as a good faith edit. Then the new user re-editted the article again. I reverted and issued her a warning. She continued to revert and I issued another warning along with 3RR advice. She had the nerve to put a 3RR non-substituted warning on my talkpage. I'd be willing to bet that his DOB will be edit-warred over if the AfD is opened as a joke. What do you think? Morenooso (talk) 05:19, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- The second user just issued me a 3RR warning. See this diff. I am not laughing at all. --Morenooso (talk) 05:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- My Contributions history is pretty clear. I think you have seen my edits, reverts and Speedy Delete nominations. If you feel the 3RR is justified, please block me for 10 hours and pull my Rollback rights as a sign to me that I am not a good Page Patroller. This really disheartens me. --Morenooso (talk) 05:43, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
