Actually lots of problems.

You don't have to go through requested articles, it's just an option. The fact that the article has been deleted once doesn't affect recreation. Titles can be blocked from recreation, but that's not the case here. If you do recreate, best not to post links to YouTube etc videos, they aren't counted as reliable sources, and will be deleted because of concerns about copyright infringements. Make sure your sources fit the definition above (Not self-editable like Facebook or blogs). Just bear in mind that it's an encyclopaedia article, not a fanpage. If you want to have another go, you could write a draft here and let me know when you are ready, but that's up to you. Good luck Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:01, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
Theroadislong. I noticed that you made a change to an article,
Seth Riggs, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

The AfD has to run its course until a consensus is reached, the only exception is if the article is speedy deleted. You are, of course, entitled to comment and vote to "Keep" if you wish. I've commented, but not voted since I've indicated that there could be notability issues. If you do comment, try to justify how the article is notable, don't get drawn into personalities Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:25, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 09:37, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Please do not restore content without providing reliably published third party sources to support any claims. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 09:37, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
I have 2 options for you. 1) add the {under construction} template before you start major re-work (only use 2 braces on each side and it will display a message notifying other editors) or 2) request that the article be moved to your userspace WP:SANDBOX rather than live article space and you can have lots of time to try and get it ready for prime time. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 09:51, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Doom pen, thanks for your options. You are obviously much better versed in the ins and outs of wikipedia then I, so I will look into taking the necessary steps when the time comes.. But I commend you on your knowledge of the rules, it must be a point of pride to know so much about so important a process. Ngoesseringer ( talk) 09:06, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at George Komsky shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hello, Ngoesseringer. We
welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things
you have written about in the article
George Komsky, you should consider our guidance on
Conflicts of interest and take a look at the
Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. I suggest you use the talk page to make any suggested improvements. Theroadislong ( talk) 09:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
I have been open about who I am, not hidden it in any way. I have tried to be honest and only add true facts to the page. Editors above have rigorously taken down many very true and actual facts on account of the sources not being the LA Times or a major newspaper. But that's not my problem. I have nothing to hide and there is no COI Ngoesseringer ( talk) 09:02, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
I did say you needed to discuss the changes with the other editor, just reversing them gets you into a problematic situation. You can see any earlier version by clicking on the history tab. Even if I felt that the other editor's actions merited a block, I would not do it myself because my involvement with the article compromises me in taking such an action. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
George Komsky, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered
disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being
blocked from editing.

I believe all of those have been resolved, but in any case I have not touched anything after the notice and will not be. Ngoesseringer ( talk) 09:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 10:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
No need for this notice. There will be no more edits from my end whatsoever, no warring. You can end the discussion. Ngoesseringer ( talk) 08:59, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Ngoesseringer,
welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for
your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our
policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please remember to disclose these connections. This becomes an automatic ban if you are using socks to sway consensus in the AFD.

I read your message. And I have no idea where you get off making such an accusation. I am not doing anything of the sort. I am connected to the subject of the article, but I am trying my best to correct any mistakes that were made. I wish all of you weren't acting as if you were ganging up. Btw, do you know the other editors? re they friends of yours? Ngoesseringer ( talk) 17:59, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Calling crappy sources "crappy" is not "abusive", it is To call a spade a spade. Saying that when sources write about themselves, we cannot assume them to be neutral because they have an inherent conflict of interest is not "abusive", it is standard policy that we apply to all sources. And I never called anybody a "nobody", I said that charities publishing content about their fundraising events have an inherent conflict of interest in making it seem as if their supporters are a SOMEBODY rather than NOBODY which as a PR agent, you obviously know is true not abusive.
However, if you wish to stand up somewhere and claim otherwise, the place to do claim "abusive" behavior would be at WP:ANI, however, given the above, and your own statements , you may wish to reconsider taking your accusations of "abusive" behavior more public, because you may not be happy with the results. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:GeorgeKomskyHollywood2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
