Hi Maxim. You deleted Wikipedia talk:CAMBOX with the deletion comment: "Deleted because 'G8: Orphaned talkpage'. using TW"
Before deleting pages you should always check "What links here". If you had checked "What links here" for that page you would have discovered that it is a talk page shortcut for Template talk:Cmbox. Also, when you see "Wikipedia:" or "Wikipedia talk:" pages with names in all upper case it is likely they are shortcuts. You can learn more about shortcuts at Wikipedia:Shortcut.
I restored the page.

Hi Maxim. You deleted the above referenced page saying that notability is not inheritable from the ODY production, and that the WP:PROD expired. Could you please link me to the AFD discussion please as I can't seem to find it. Also, I would like to suggest that if the article is not notable enough to stand on its own, it has enough that it could be merged with the Star Trek: Odyssey article as it is considered a 'sister series' and that this would be an acceptable compromise. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks. 69.231.49.82 ( talk) 22:04, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
As a reminder, the Working Group's deadline to post a final report, occurs on August 7. A draft final report is now on EN, at Wikipedia:Working group on ethnic and cultural edit wars/Draft report.

Hey Maxim, would you be able to restore the images Image:Green (Colonel).jpg ( restore) and Image:Colonel Green.jpg ( restore) so that I can add a fair-use rationale for use in Colonel Phillip Green? I think only one image will be necessary, but I'd like to see both of them to choose which one to use. I will CSD any unused image. Thanks! — OranL ( talk) 00:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Maxim. You deleted FrenchPod page saying that "this article fails to assert why this podcast is notable, lacks 3rd party references". I didn't see the WP:PROD status on the page and I could have add 3rd party references. The Podcast was ned when I wrote the article, but now it's mature, has thousands of free users and references on notable blogs ... Can we revert the deletion and give me some time to add these references ? Thanks, Christophe —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrenchPod ( talk • contribs) 03:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

In July, I asked what I had done to prompt deletion of a new page I posted, "DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance," and was advised to check the deletion log. I did, but the only reference to the deletion I can find is:
18:49, 28 July 2008 Maxim (Talk | contribs) deleted "DMAA: The Care Continuum Alliance" - (Speedy deleted per (CSD G6), non-controversial housekeeping deletion. using TW)
Following the CSD G6 link didn't provide any additional information (other than it was a "technical deletion"). Another admin indicated a problem wtih the categories I chose, and I just deleted one that appears not to exist. In any case, can anyone clarify what exactly was wrong with the original post and what else I need to do to reinstate it? Again, I'm new to this so apologies in advance if I'm missing something obvious here. Thanks. Cgrazian ( talk) 23:24, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, a long time ago you deleted an image I put on an article. I am sorry not to get back but I lost interest in the project. There is a point where it becomes futile to do work for nothing that is just going to be trashed by others who either have a clear agenda and/or know nothing about the topic. (I am not talking about you here).
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Image:Lewend.jpg
The image was good and right for the topics it was one. Important from a British motorcycling point of view.
What do I need to provide to reinstate this image? I can get permission from the company as it still exists if you can let me know clearly what I have to do.
Thank you. -- Mitsu ( talk) 04:40, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what TW considers "notable", but just because it isn't Broadway or Hollywood, doesn't mean it -isn't-.
It would have been -courteous- if you had notified me when you flagged it for deletion, as I'm not often online here. I would really like the article to be restored, so that a proper discussion on the "merits for deletion" can take place, i.e., from people within the actual geographic area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ak hepcat ( talk • contribs) 18:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi there... I saw you deleted the page mega-zine. Was there an AFD for this page? Because the reason for deletion seems to suggest that it was a non-notable website, which was never the case - it was a section on UK teletext for over 15 years. Take a look at the article on Digitiser - I'm not saying that just because wiki has a page on digitiser there should be one on Megazine, but I think megazine is definately notable. If there was an AFD, could you let me know where it is? Cheers Bradley10 ( talk) 10:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

For all your often-unnoticed admin/sysop tasks, and all the help they are to the project. J. Atkins ( talk - contribs) 11:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC) |
Well, in my time zone it's the wrong time of day to drink tea. Further, having a six-month old daughter means that I have to work to find time for Wikipedia -- stepping away from the computer is not a problem. However, I got angry enough to do this several days ago, when I protected both my user page & my talk page. It was either that, or start indef blocking people for being stupid. (I'm still trying to find a way to explain my frustration with some amazingly unhelpful behavior without showing everyone just what kind of offensive language I am truly capable of.) I had already expressed just how frustrated I was at one point, & no one thought to even acknowledge my feelings, let alone respond to my argument.
So I tried to be civil, & found that it got me nothing. No one noticed what I had done until I was bitter in my edit comments today. And I did that because it appears that unless an editor either has a lot of influential friends, or decides to leave Wikipedia in a dramatic & disruptive manner, no one frankly gives a damn. Apparently we're all newbies, trolls, & vandals here -- unless, it seems, a person does things like argue policy, AfDs, who should get the Admin bit & other things that do not add a single word to Wikipedia's content. I'm amazed that people will spend so much effort arguing to allow various mediocrities, who cause far more harm than good, to continue to edit Wikipedia, yet never take the time to see how they could encourage truly valuable contributors to continue their work.
I know I haven't expressed myself well here; I will make my criticism with Wikipedia's dysfunctional culture clear at another time & another place. Let me conclude with something for you to consider: one day you will encounter the same series of encounters with unbelievable stupidity, & you will know exactly how I feel now. I only hope you will be better able to handle it. -- llywrch ( talk) 04:40, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

This isn't a typical "ZOMG, you deleted my image, WTFBBQ?!?!" kind of question. I noticed the wikipedia page for a commons image title Periscope Depth.jpg was deleted ( log). I saw the speedy tag before I left for the day but I didn't see what was wrong with the image. Clearly something was wrong. If you don't remember this image precisely, it's cool, but I guess I would like to know how I2 CSD's are found, nominated and deleted and what happens that allows the page or image to remain following the deletion (As I clicked on pages that previously linked to the image and the page seems just as it was before the deletion). Sorry for the long question but I am curious. Thanks for any help you can offer. Protonk ( talk) 23:59, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Bonjour!!!!
Yesterday I nominated File:SudipGurung.jpg for speedy and you did delete it. However, i just dropped by to request that that very image has been re-posted here Sudip Gurung's Album Cover.jpg, may you give a look to it. I am not good at images guidelines so I am not nominating it this time.

Well, peer review turned out to be a big bowl of Fail, as it so often is.

Hi
You might want to think about renaming the category
Category:Db-i8 to conform to simliar categories, e.g.
Admittedly
Category:Images available as identical copies on the Wikimedia Commons for speedy deletion is a little long.
Also note that {{
NowCommons}}
already uses
Category:Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons—maybe the same one can be used in {{
db-i8}}
?

Hey, thanks for the review. Yeah, those two sections are a bit short. But I've added them in the hope they may be expanded in the future, or if I can find any more info.

Looks like we are both writing this article at the same time, lol.

Hi,
Would you please restore Image:Rongorongo F-a Stephen-Chauvet (color).jpg onto wiki-en? It will likely be deleted from Commons (because it's an image of a non-2D object, it's a photograph, it's less than 100 yrs old, etc), and it would be good to have a backup here when that happens.

Can you explain your rational behind chosing a result of delete on WP:Articles for deletion/List of Austin City Limits performers_(2nd nomination) ? there appeared a clear Keep consensus. Russeasby ( talk) 21:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
It's clear that you have adopted a policy of deletion for less than momentous articles. Just why is not clear to me, despite citations of WP policies of various sorts. The cost of having articles about such topics is some space on the servers, and even after deletion, that space is still occupied. In this case, you have deleted a minor artilce that several editors have worked on, which has connections to a recently published book about the company founded by the inventor.
Furthermore the proposal to delete was opposed by at least myself so that it cannot be said the consensus had been achieved.
I invite some discussion of these points. ww ( talk) 22:43, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Why was the page deleted for the band Fabric? MisterSitter 4th September 2008
Hiya! I noticed that you recently reverted some edits from this user and gave him a couple of warnings. This seems to be yet another incarnation of a long-term vandal who targets articles related to country-western music and The Dukes of Hazzard tv show. There are many associated IP addresses that all trace back to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Other articles under repeated attack include Shooter Jennings, Tom Wopat, and Johnny Cash. This vandal returns immediately after blocks expire, as if there's an alarm clock ringing somewhere, so I've started blocking for a month at a time, and watchlisting the talk page so I'll notice if a legitimate user requests an unblock. This hasn't happened yet. Other related IPs include [5], [6], and [7]. Would you mind looking over those contributions and adding a few of their targeted articles to your watchlist? I keep hoping that we'll just wear them down a month at a time. Joyous! | Talk 02:23, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

HI Maxim why did you delete my Jumeau Dolls page?? what professional knowlege of the area backed the decision? the reasons given on the deletion log "does not show much significance" suggests that there was no professional background in this decision where was it lacking: the facts were correct I am speaking from a professional background as a senior academic and design historian This article was about one of the most significant global toy companies prior to the modern era it has equal rights to be up as the myriads of pages on album tracks, local politicians or computer games or star trek episodes - I find much of this boring but do not put a prod on these articles as there is room for everyone's interests.

Hello, I have recently had an encounter with an unapproved admin bot, and despite an extremely clear dictate by policy that these bots should be blocked, have been discouraged from doing so. Depending how this situation resolves, I will likely file an arbitration request to hopefully resolve this issue once and for all. You commented on Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Adminbots, stating that you ran an admin bot. To help get an idea of how widespread admin bots are, as well as get a uniform decision, I would like to ask: Do you still operate this bot, and does it operate when you are not present?

You added this item to the main page template but it appears to contain several chunks that are a copyright violation from [8].

Hello Maxim. I'm looking for info about why the InfiltrationMod article was deleted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfiltrationMod Was it tagged for deletion and then no one challenged it ? What does "Fails to meet TW" mean ? DJ Barney ( talk) 14:31, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hiya, cheers for fixing the splice fix at Talk:Legal disputes over Harry Potter. Minor thing it may be, as a talk page, but good work resolving it cleanly, as it would be easy to be confused by the moves/reverse moves.

When you made this protection, did you intend it to be forever? Ten months is an awful long time, can we try relaxing it? (Nawlin added move-prot, but that was apparently Grawp related).

Dear Maxim, thank you so much for your words of support, kindness, and your trust in me. My
request for Adminship has been closed, and the support the community has shown will be with me forever. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am, and all I can tell you is this: I shall try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, please
tell me! :) If you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you are welcome to ask, and I shall do my very best.
Please take care. |

Hiya could you clarify what the reason for deletion was as the summary of "no TW" doesn't mean much. -- Nate 14 81 16:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Back in December you "deleted Labourhome (Deleted because expired WP:PROD; Non notable blog. using TW)", probably following an uncontested prod.
It is notable (now anyway), for example doing a google news search shows it mentioned in the Fincial Times, New York Times, Bloomberg. UK lawmakers write on the blog, and it has recently had a five-figure investment by a mainstream media owner. [9] It is clearly notable now.

It shouldn't be too hard for me to find some information for you. I've been spending a lot of time at the library researching history on the Calgary Tigers, so I'm already going through reels of newspapers from that era. I'll keep an eye out out for his name when I head back on Wednesday or Thursday. Also, having died in Calgary, there would certainly be an obituary in both papers, and if we're lucky, articles about his passing. From that I should be able to get you his next of kin, at the very least. Give me a few days, and I'll see what I can come up with. Reso lute 00:16, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
I've looked into this some more and the audited articles in this topic should have been required to get peer reviews done for the 3 audited articles back when the featured topic criteria were changed. Since it was an oversight, the National Hockey League awards featured topic has 3 months from now to satisfy criterion 3.c. by getting peer reviews done for the 3 audited articles in the topic: Mark Messier Leadership Award, Roger Crozier Saving Grace Award, and NHL Foundation Player Award.

Hi there,
Just wondering if you would care to re-instate (for now) the page Inertial compensators. I feel one should be able to have a sensible article on this subject - indeed I came looking for detail on Wikipedia. From viewing the deleted edits I now at least am aware of the uses in fiction beyond just Star Trek. Certainly the previous content could have done with improvement (although the final versions were perhaps worse than some earlier ones). However, it's a lot more likely that folks will improve existing content, rather than create sensible new content on a page previously deleted.
I am quite frankly opposed to the entire concept of PROD, 5 days is a rather arbitrary figure, and the concept merely exacerbates the existing problems of deletion on Wikipedia - that debate is limited to the handful of people keeping careful tabs on what is going on.

Hello Maxim, I am a person who looks stuff up on Wikipedia a lot, but have never contributed or involved myself in edits. I created an account today just to talk to you and ask about an article you deleted. Here's a cut/paste of what happened:
01:07, 19 August 2007 Maxim (Talk | contribs) deleted "Urethrostomy" (Expired prod, concern was: Wow. The entirety of this article is four paragraphs about performing a specific surgery on male cats. I mean, look at it. If I really need to give a specific reason for deleting it, I'll use "lack of context.")
I was on a wiki page about FLUTD, because I have many cats and four males are having intermittent trouble/huge vet bills. I followed a link from that page to Urethrostomy. This surgery is something of specific interest to me, and I was wondering if you would consider restoring it (although maybe its actual content will not be what I need... no way to know). I'll check back later, and Happy Thanksgiving. Gretlbug ( talk) 15:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

First off, thanks for adding more information for the Vezina article, and doing the minor fixings that I tend to miss. But as I was going through the article making all the references consistent, I came across something confusing. You added that he was the oldest goaltender to record a shutout in 1924 at the age of 37. However, the next season Vezina had 5 in the regular season and another 1 in the playoffs. Seeing how you have the book cited, I just want to clarify all that. Kaiser matias ( talk) 02:26, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Maxim, I'm sort of wondering why you deleted an established and evidently necessary category page, without so much as giving a reason, as it usually expected when doing something like that... Such a move is definitely not non-controversial maintenance, nor is the reason readily apparent (to me, at least. Maybe I'm missing something). I'm assuming you just thought that the overall post-apocalyptic fiction category was sufficient, but with the relatively large number of pages linked to this deleted category, and no way of knowing which items were films as opposed to literature, radio, or television content (in the post-apocalyptic fiction category) short of manually clicking each and every item, the page is de facto necessary. I'm sure you're just doing your job, and I certainly don't want to antagonize you in any way, but you need to provide some reasoning for such a MAJOR deletion, as per Wikipedia policy.
If you could, please restore the category page in it's entirety... I'm not even sure all of the articles previously linked to the page are represented in other categories, and even if they are, I'm not sure it's sufficient for users or editors to be able to easily find the articles in question. Thank you in advance! And happy holidays! Kaelus ( talk) 06:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I have looked over the "A7" guidelines, and I do not understand why the article is not about a notable person. Devon Hunter has created a blog that is becoming an important resource online for the community it addresses.

Hi, I note you have deleted the article for the Eastfield Cricket Club. The reasons given were "I live in Croydon and have never heard of Benson Oval or the Eastfield Cricket Club and Ringwood is over 100 miles away". Understand that may be the case for the Croydon in the UK, however in Australia these is definately an Eastfield Cricket Club in Croydon (Melbourne Australia) and Croydon and Ringwood are less than 1 Kilometre away from each other.

Thanks You requested that File:David Byrne and Brian Eno 2008.jpg be made a bit smaller to comply with NFCC #3b. Reviewing that guideline, there isn't a clear criteria of resolution or file-size, so I'm not sure to what extent the image needs to be manipulated. For what it's worth - and this is present in the summary at that file's page - I have already cropped the original image.

How was my justification not proper? It is an advertising material, a book cover that is in the public domain, especially for the purposes of a non-profit article on the novel. I said that it in my justification, and now you've stripped my article of it's picture.

I believe that there is a consensus to make the changes, that were suggested when the template was up for deletion, to the US-Airport template. It is being done to remove private party links until guidelines are put in place for third party links.
The only people against the change are people that have not participated in the discussion for months and only appear right as the change is going to be made, Dual Freq being the exception. Dual Freq’s position is that the template should be deleted all together, but since it did not pass I have simply been trying to follow through with the recommendations on the deletion talk page, that private party links be removed until guidelines are formed about how those links are chosen.
If the change is performed with the addition of the FAA government website and the non-profit Aviation Safety Network, it will be in the best interest of Wikipedia, to use these non-commercial websites instead of commercial websites that are for profit and have advertisements on them. - Neilh89 ( talk) 15:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Good evening to you, I've now got some time to explain to you what happened. As the Wikipedian who constructed the Wikipedia article called the Georgia Centralist Party I only managed to have some time for a brief glance at the article to find that soime users had put several names of the leader of this party and I wanted to ask them where there sources were or why they did it.
However some time ago I found that this article was deleted and didn't know why. Was it because of the various unsourced names those users placed on the infobox beside the word leader? I give that to you as apossibility however I think you feel the article doesn't have enough sources.
I've done a brief search on google and could only find this third party source, is this website a suitable source to support my Wikipedia article on the party which I think is also called the Centralist Party of Georgia? [ http://www.dcpoliticalreport.com/members/1999/GA99.htm]
Apart from that I've found just now from what is called a cached version of this deleted Wikipedia article on the GCP. [ http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cac he:FD-FZ6zlNg8J:en.wikipedia.org/w iki/Georgia_Centralist_Party+Georgia+Centralist+Party&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=be] the names that were placed by the users onto the infobox beside the word ″leader″. They were Barry Panozzo, Bright Moilly, Stark Stain and Bryant Moil. One final comment I want to make is that maybe this weekend when my dads less busy we can send an e-mail to the Georgia Centralist Party asking to send us any third party sources like newpaper articles discussing them or even ask them to send to us any of their policies.
If you want to discuss more about this then please reply here or on my discussion page, thank you. Political Dweeb ( talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.235.223.165 ( talk) 18:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you that this information ought to be on this article, but the consensus that was reached was that the article is about the trophy, that is, the physical piece of metal and wood and whatnot. We had an extensive discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey/Archive27#Presidents.27_Trophy, where I forcefully argued the contrary, but the consensus that was reached was that the article is only about the actual physical piece of hardware.

Mr. "Maxim" - to be frank and emotionally honest with you I'm upset that you'd simply deleted my user page without any attempt to express intent, motive, or alternative to deletion: [ [13]]
Linking from a User page / profile to an external content management systems (CMS, of which wiki's are one type) for providing additional information about myself, all of which is self-authored, with User page-purpose fulfilling intention is most certainly not "G11: Blatant advertising."
I'm not a hockey expert, I am a web expert. So please allow me to say that in web parlance linking between sites is called a hypertext "network". E.g. not "advertising." I believe you know this, so am left to assume that what you mistakenly presumed was to do with my motives for linking to other self-authored user/profile pages, on other CMSes, not, I think, the actual User page content I'd authored here. Yes?
In sum I am writing to request User page restoral. If, however, some content I'd previously published ABOUT MYSELF seems to accord with WIKIPEDIAS's Deletion Policy, PLEASE CONTACT ME, so at least good faith efforts to reconcile and resolve this dispute, via editing and review, can be attained: mic (a) uxdesign (dot) com
If, on the other hand, no good faith effort is made on your behalf to allow me to fully express compliance with WIKIPEDIAS's Deletion Policy [ [14]]--if not also your personal interpretation of it--then I intend to pursue the Dispute resolution process [ [15]] in full.
Allow me too to provide you a reminder of what constitutes good Wikipedia Administrator conduct: [ [16]], and that Adminship is not a game: "When you are an administrator you don't just block and unblock who you want, delete and undelete what you want, go around editing protected pages when you want or go protecting and unprotecting whatever you want."

I'm making this request of you (and Resolute) as Scorpion0422 suggested you might be inclined to take on this task. I note with some sorrow the passing of Colleen Howe, the one and only "Mrs. Hockey" and now-late wife of Gordie Howe, I also note with some surprise that there only a stub article with Colleen Howe as its subject. Sure, there's a school in School District 34 Abbotsford named for her but just a stub on Wikipedia for this author, pioneering female sports agent, and member in her own right of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame? If you're interested, this would make a fine addition to the encyclopedia and an easy DYK candidate. (I would, of course, have to recuse myself from approving or promoting any such hook.)
Here are a few sources that would get a writer started: Yahoo Sports obit, New York Times obit, USA Today obit, National Post article from 2008, 1974 NYT article by Howe, Corporate Detroit article from 1991, Globe and Mail article from 2003, Washington Post article about HOF induction, NYT article from 1993, [Sports Illustrated article from 1980], and, well, I think you get the idea.

Not really. Me, I'd undo the protection on Malleus' page just to stop the orange bars. I think the above vindicates my position that your protection was ill conceived - it simply shifted the whole debate to another venue (your talk), and this time without Malleus here to "defend" himself. De-centralising the debate is not helpful. The DRAMA's were only partly due to Malleus. Please reconsider, if nothing else to save the orange bar ..... Pedro : Chat 23:55, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi.
Considering the duration of the protection, I don't think this matters all that much. Yes, it temporarily interfered with the ability of users to communicate with Malleus via his talk page, but, let's face reality here (and I say this as a person who was actively participating in these discussions), the discussions were counter-productive and non-Wiki related (with respect to the actual encyclopedia).

Hello, I wish to contest the deletion of the article Live Aids. It was apparently deleted on the basis of an expired WP:PROD ("Reason given: Non-notable single."). For one, the disc is an EP album, not a single, and belongs in the discography of the band. As for its notability, it brings together two important art punk scenes on a single album, with internationally 'popular' Montreal "weird punk" band, AIDS Wolf, and the London art scene experimentalist Ben Wallers. This album is very notable for the artists involved and I do admit that the article was left a tad sparse. I was awaiting for more online press to bubble up - these things can take time. I do believe some of the major blogs dealing with this particular off-beat music have begun to review the album. Anyway, thank you very much for your time and consideration. Matthew.

Hi, Maxim. I just went to look at the article on the Buster Keaton film Cops and couldn't believe it didn't have an image. A quick check of the edit history confirmed my suspicions, and experience. Their was an image, but it was deleted in this edit. I believe this is a public domain image (pre-1926), and it was mis-tagged as "Fair Use", though actually "Fair Use" would probably be perfectly appropriate in this case, assuming it was a film poster. Would it be asking to much to have the image restored and the image description fixed? Would it be asking too much, further, if you and fellow film-poster-image deleters would fix image descriptions, rather than deleting acceptable images? Buster Keaton fans everywhere would be most appreciative. Thank you. Dekkappai ( talk) 02:54, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Basically I stand highly insulted with such a comment in general. Every person alive or who has ever lived is notable, everybody has some value. Some may be more noteworthy then others, but no one is un noteworthy. In fact, just the fact that someone took the time to 'note' this person, defines the fact, is indeed the mere definition of the word: notable.

It makes no sense that you would remove the the article and the Trump name just because the project failed financially. The people who bought properties and lost money have in their possession title to properties at the TRUMP OCEAN RESORT BAJA. Jsut because it failed does not mean it does not exist.
Does Circuit City cease to exist and should we delete articles about them? What about Pacific Southwest Airlines or WAMU or Fedco or KB Toys? I own worthless stock certificates for KB Toys; should i not be allowed to know it existed?

Greetings, fellow BAGger! FYI, an Arbcom decision will soon be made in which the BAG will likely be prominently mentioned. I've constructed a draft consensus statement at Wikipedia talk:Bot Approvals Group/Draft consensus statement on date delinking to assist the ArbCom. If you could indicate whether or not you approve of the various statements there, it would be very helpful. All the best, – Quadell ( talk) 12:45, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my
"RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (
Ceoil,
Noroton and
Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read
Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ |

Please restore the image description page of this image. It was first uploaded to the English Wikipedia some time around 2005-04-29 and two years later only the image was uploaded to Commons in 27 February 2007, but it seems some of the information on the image description page was not copied to the Commons image description page, and the the complete upload history with links to the uploader's local user pages was not copied. See [20]. If the page description and history is restored here I think I can complete the missing information on the Commons image page there. 84user ( talk) 11:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
I do not know if you left a new message on my userpage. Just wanted to clarify that I made no changes to the article on Water Pollution nor have i blanked out any page. My interests are india related profiles of specific topics. I think the prob is bcoz the IP address I use is a shared user one from a common service provider. However, you are free to log in my actual computer IP address. Thanks.

I guess we were working on the same list at the same time? My concern is Template:Tourist attractions in Mumbai. I replaced the non-free image with one from the commons. You commented out that image. Perhaps this was a simple mistake based on an edit conflict? I've undid your edit, but thought I'd come here just in case I'm missing something. - Andrew c [talk] 01:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so as I got into the body, I realize the prose needs serious work. From the first sentence of the body on there is room for improvement on wording. Also, the use of "Emery" needs to be cut down significantly. I can work on it more later, but I'm just really not in the mood right now. A bit stressed from RL stuff. But yea, it's not FA quality prose at this point. If you're really concerned about it, as a BLP, you can always send it to FAR. May get the involvement of some editors better with prose than I am. Or just ask a couple FAC editors for some help with it. My FA involved me adding a lot of information with sources and others making it read well. لenna vecia 02:13, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Whether or not it passes GA, you're doing what most people within the tropical cyclone project avoid, improving hurricane articles for old storms. Well done. Thegreatdr ( talk) 16:47, 20 June 2009 (UTC) |

At Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Chicago Blackhawks head coaches/archive1, I questioned the first two images, which have no evidence of pre-1923 publication (required for PD in the US). The nominator pointed out that you were the uploader, and said I could ask you for assistance. If you get a chance, please take a look at the Pete Muldoon and Hughie Lehman photos in the linked article and see if you know where they came from. Thanks.
