You deleted my Samuel Prakel page saying that it didn't meet inclusion guidelines! It does, on the recreated article. Samuel is very notable because of his winning so many races, including higher-level races such as the Midwest Athletic Conference. He also got extremely low times of below 10:18 for two miles. Please let it on there, because other than the notability, which he has, there is nothing wrong with the article. Isa Superfast ( talk) 23:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm new to Wikipedia and was working on an article on my user page, which Redvers deleted for blatant advertising. I wasn't ready to post the article and was planning on learning the ropes and revising it as I went along. I'd be happy to fix anything that's inappropriate, with a little feedback.
The recovery program I'm writing about, His Mansion, has been around for almost 40 years. They aren't looking for advertising. Can I have a chance to revise what I did wrong?

I've been online for years but am a wiki virgin so please forgive my naivete. I thought typing my user name (EMTLLC) at the end of the post would do as a signature. EMTLLC is also the name of my user page that was deleted. The article title on the page was "His Mansion: Substance Abuse Recovery Program." The url was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EMTLLC.
I'm reading the regs and would like to keep practicing on the article, if you can restore it.
On a personal note, given your European roots, are you a Spinoza-type atheist?

I rarely delete user pages without blocking the creator, so it's more likely that I deleted an article you created. From the suggested title, I suspect because it wasn't suitable for an
encyclopedia in some way. ➨ ❝

Thanks for the info.
The organization I wrote about (His Mansion) has been around almost 40 years and has helped hundreds of people with substance abuse and other problems, but that might not be enough to qualify them for an encyclopedia. They aren’t mentioned on many websites and aren’t well known outside the recovery movement.
I see now that I should have created a sub page to work on my article and gotten feedback, but it may be a moot point if it wouldn’t qualify anyway. Can you advise?
EMTLLC ( talk) 03:00, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Got it! Thanks for taking the time to explain. That's very helpful. I'll work on the article offline and scrap it altogether if I can't find sufficient and reliable third-party sources.
Thanks, too, for helping make Wikipedia the great tool it is. I use it all the time in my writing.

Question 1 - You mentioned that the above page "may not meet the general notability guideline". I am interested how this church differs from others at: Category: Churches in Rochester, New York listed at the bottom of the page. Using your guidelines, all of these churches should be deleted. I think they should all be included, as should others that I was searching information about. Category:Churches_in_Rochester,_New_York. It is the home for the Lithuanian community for all of New York State outside of NYC, and has been so for over 100 years. I believe the page is much more developed than any of the other Category:Churches_in_Rochester,_New_York. Please explain your comments, what should be done to improve and remove the notoriety warning from the page. Besides, this page is rated mid-importance (level 3 of 5) as a stub Talk:Saint_George_Roman_Catholic_Lithuanian_Church by Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lithuania and once developed should improve to high-importance (level 4 of 5)
Question 2 - You removed 4 pages from the main founding pastors. They were very well known at the time, not just in the Rochester area, but also in the whole New York state area. This parish pastor priest information project is being developed with the parish and the archbishop. Please relink the parish pastors and allow us to continue our work.
Thanks for your help and comments. Signed: Milzinas —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milzinas ( talk • contribs)

Thank you for decreasing Wiki links and making the page better. I was adding them because of the comment at the top of the page "Please wikify this article or section. Help improve this article by adding relevant internal links.' Where is the "happy medium" I would be happy to do the work myself, but need some better suggestions. You say to decrease internal links, yet the comment says to add internal links. Maybe you could remove the comment that additional internal links should be added.

I notice your edit summary on this says '(?User-reported: rm 89.207.214.7 - not warned today)'. I'm not clear why you didn't block it, especially after reverting some vandalism a little while ago. This is an address of the Yorkshire & Humber Grid for Learning - which I@ve added, and I've given it a 1 month schoolblock. There's been adequate warning hasn't there and continual vandalism? Should I not have blocked? Is there a guide to AIV by the way? Can I add that I'm thinking I must be wrong, because I've always respected whatever you've had to say. :-) (but true). Thanks. dougweller ( talk) 09:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
hmm, i was presuming edits with summaries like "replaced content with (nonsense or offensive phrase here)" or "blanked the page" wewre clear vandalism, does template 4im not permit an immediate report? (as it says it is the only warning). Sorry if this is unclear, want to figure out how to help without clogging the system. Wikify567 ( talk) 10:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, not trying to sell anything, was writing about arrowbio as part of municipal solid waste treatments, I've edited a few other terms in this area, and just saw this was missing (there are a lot of other processes here, each different in process not only in brand...) I am pretty new here, but what did I do wrong? I was working on the language and grammar when it was deleted, did I post too soon? YaelG ( talk) 22:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I saw pages were deleted about a year ago, but with totally different content than what I'm posting. I wrote most of it myself, and I have no idea who the other people who posted this are. The process part was taken from independent sources, not the company, and I've edited it, and was in the middle of editing more and changing terminology to what's used here in several municipal solid waste articles. But did you also delete the page of the arrowbio facility? this is a one of a kind process of solid waste treatment through water and separation through weight, I was there on a tour and its really interesting and different than other plants that deal with SMW, it really is worth being part of the encyclopedia. the Lubeck Waste Treatment Facility was were I got the model from. Help....thanks :) YaelG ( talk) 21:30, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
The redirect of WP:Accuracy Dispute (what I presume your comment refers to) was unintended, my intent was to redirect WP:Ad to WP:Ads instead of to WP:Accuracy Dispute. Wikify567 ( talk) 11:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
I am not vandalising anything, I am working on improving the article with decent amounts of detail about the age, origin, present condition, &c. of the mound. What do you know about it? How can you revert everything I add, especially since I am still drafting it? Please justify your actions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tagaloa ( talk • contribs)
Yes, and I added the citation to the External Links. Like I said, I am still drafting the article, this involves pasting stuff from several sources and then massaging it into shape. Are you saying that I should write the article in a text editor and then paste it finished and complete into Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tagaloa ( talk • contribs)
Your online manner is appaling. You are also wrong-headed. Most knowledge is derivative, when someone sets out to write an article it is in REALITY the distilation of others' knowledge unless it is a new peice of research. Since this is not that, just an encyclopaedia article it will of necessity synthesise the work of others. So my question stands, should I work offline and then paste it or not? If not then expect folk to bring source material together online, pasted from several sources and then reworked into a new synthesis. Do you quite understand the question? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tagaloa ( talk • contribs)
Hi. I was going to create a page for Faderhead (a band), but when I went to begin work it noted that the page had been deleted... by you. So, I decided before I re-create something that has been removed for a reason, I'd ask if there was any tips you could give, or notes regarding why the page was deleted in the first place? Even better would be information on how to find the old page, so I'd have an easy place to work from. Iondragons ( talk) 19:57, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
'''Faderhead''' is an [[electronica|electronic music]] band from [[Hamburg|Hamburg]], [[Germany|Germany]]. == Discography == * FH1(2006) * FH2(2007) * FH3(2008)
I do understand that point, however, I am not using this to promote as I am not deleting any other posts etc. The websites are official and I am just putting them in so that the artist is not misrepresented. I appreciate your help on this point though. I am a new editor and therefore dont wish to do anything wrong! Adam Heayberd ( talk) 15:27, 20 November 2008 (UTC)Adam Heayberd

Hi Redvers, I see you reverted my new
Red snake and
Red snake (snake) edits. Please allow me to explain. Perhaps you noticed the common name category tags?. This is something that I started not only to give readers an overview of all the common names used for certain groups of snakes, but also as a way for editors like myself to keep track of these names -- of the redirects and of the disambiguation pages in which they are mentioned. The Red snake disambiguation page is one example. This page was was just fine as far as I was concerned: along with the roulette entry it mentioned all of the taxa that have been associated with this name and it carries the necessary category tags.
Then things started to go wrong. It seems that in mid-July 2007, a new rule was created by some people working on
WP:Disambiguation stating that, with only one or two exceptions, other category tags were no longer allowed on disambiguation pages. Although I started categorizing such pages for snake names back in mid-2006, I was not aware of this new rule and only found out about it recently when someone decided to delete a category tag from the
Moccasin disambiguation page. I protested and tried to explain, but to no avail. I was told that my only option was to turn all of the snake disambiguation pages into
Set index articles (SIAs), or else they would disappear from the category overviews.
This was something I was not looking forward to. First, all of the disambiguation pages on snakes would have to be tracked down and changed, but of course it's not that easy. With pages such as
Diamondback rattlesnake, only the {{disambig}} tag has to be changed to {{SIA|snakes}}, but what about ones like Moccasin and Red snake that are not purely about snakes? No choice there: I was told that the snake information and tags would have to be transferred to new disambiguation pages, such as
Moccasin (snake) and
Red snake (snake) (ugh, bla), or else these names would disappear from the category overviews. At this point, you may ask yourself "Why not do this, but leave the Red snake page untouched, except for the removal of the category tags?" Yes, we could do that, but then we would have to maintain the same snake information on two different pages, which over time is a recipe for inconsistency.
So, it may look convoluted, and I'm not happy with the situation, but the folks at
WP:Disambiguation have not been sympathetic to my plight and I feel as though my work is not stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I do what they say and what you have suggested, then my category overviews (which represent about two years of work) will always be missing a lot of important names, which would be a shame. So, please try to understand; I'd really appreciate it. (PS -- Please answer here) Cheers, --
