As in the case of Jeremiah Winans, if someone deletes a valid CSD tag, just put it back on. I trawl through Category:Candidates for speedy deletion pretty often, and can see you're trying to please all with AfD votes. When something is junk, label it as such, and make sure it gets deleted. Keep up the good work. Harr o 5 07:39, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that the article on Taylor Lea Thomas has undergone significant changes and will continue to improve with time. I appreciate you reading the article in the first place. We are trying all we can to make the article better suited for Wikipedia because Ms. Thomas has accomplished a lot and has received many awards and press for it and therefore, appropriate for this medium. I hope that you will soon see this for yourself and opt instead to keep the article. Thank you kindly. Peter Sanders 14:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Wickethewok,
Why not we remove / request to remove AFD tag from the article on biography of the journalist Imad Latheef. I respect your reason for tagging. deviathancy 11:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
There's already a pending Afd, adding a speedy deletion breeds confusion. Simply go to the AfD, vote and give your reasons. Bobak 17:14, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
how do you know someone has worked with someone? you are either clairvoyant or presumptuous. and, ever heard of due diligence or personal contributions? maybe, but certainly massively inapplicable to your wikipedian philosophy. Chensiyuan 05:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
I understand that you maybe doing some invaluable good by guiding someone who's new to Wikipedia such as me, however over zealousness is not particularly encouraging. Jumping down one's throat so to speak for merely testing mark-up is no way to welcome anyone. I added one line and removed it one minute later. You sent me two warnings in quick succession, the last stating that I was on a second level warning. As I have already mentioned, I added one line to a new page and deleted it within one minute so why the second patronisation? I will assume that you aren't a school prefect after all and that you were just mistaken with your over efficient correction of my ignorant fumblings. Giftexpert 06:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
You recently put a speedy deletion tag on a article I created, Economic history of Mexico. This article is made using public domain from the Library of Congress Country Studies. The other site happens to use the same text. Please remove the tags, this is obviously not copyvio.-- Bkwillwm 06:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
What have you got against this article? The international coverage the said films have received proves that they are notable and are a valid addition to Wikipedia. If fan films are accepted then I really don't understand why an independent series can't have a home here. I really don't see where your coming from. -- Hepburnsprings 13:07, 1 April 2006
Excuse me Wickthewok, but the TransLink content is not intended to be duplicated. I am rmeoving references to TransLink (Brisbane) and replacing them with TransLink (South East Queensland), and other references to Brisbane generally, as TransLink affects a much wider area. I actually authored most of this content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SM247 ( talk • contribs)

You just proposed his article for deletion. He's been making several other articles of the same irrelevant matter for some time. See here for the list and then decide what to do with him. He can merge all in one, and then something has to link to that. Bye! Death2 03:42, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Why was James Cafarelli marked for deletion? - Caf3623
The article is not just about a guy who created a blog, he is also one of the first bloggers to be given a press credential, next to the blogger who got a White House press conference pass after Jeff Gannon incident. Also accordig to blog traffic ratings at truthlaidbear, SB nation ranks as having the highest traffic of all sports blogs and #27 overall. Dspserpico 07:51, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I see you've prodded this article. Since it's a duplicate of the existing article we have on the guy, I'll take the liberty to delete it. - Mgm| (talk) 10:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I removed your {{ db-copyvio}} tag. You should know that PANYNJ, of which PAPD is part, is an interstate agency co-owned-and-operated by the states of NY and NJ, and as such is quasi-governmental. Certainly not a for-profit concern, so CSD A8 does not apply. - the.crazy.russian τ/ ç/ ë 17:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I really think that [ [1]] should not have been deleted. He is very notable seeing that he designed and built the House of Blues chain, which is one of the most profitable and well known nightclub chains in America. Also, look at Todd English. He designed and built most of his restaurants and is already mentioned on both pages. He has even done work for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. If all those things are notable enough for Wikipedia, why isn't he? I feel it was deleted too soon. Could you look into it? Thanks Caf3623 19:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I have a complaint about an administrator who styles himself aeropagitica and takes upon himself the duties of deleting articles he has not taken the trouble to understand. Ironically the aeropagitica was an essay by Milton which attacked censorship. I am against any anonymity which is a direct cause of dishonesty and this is a perfect example. Wikipaedia has an appeals procedure which is so involved and tortuous as to be impractical. Wikipaedia is so vast that publication in it is like adding a drop to the pacific. My page on the canonical oscillator makes sound sense only if you take the trouble to read it intelligently. To threaten me with exclusion because I stand up for honest behaviour by your anonymous administrators is a betrayasl of those principle of free speech which Milton wrote about in his aeropagitica,perhaps your Mr aeropagitica should take the trouble to read it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brennig james ( talk • contribs)

An amagingly quick analysis of a potential copyright violation. As a matter of interest what word or words is it suggested are copied from the source you identify and what proportion of the whole do those words represent? David91 17:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
So that all authors may state the law from a case with certainty and predictability, we all identify the ratio decidendi and then either quote it or paraphrase it accurately without substantially changing any of the words used by the judge, i.e. we all go back to the original source and acknowledge that fact by the relevant in-line citation which is the full name of the case as it appears in the law report and the unique page reference number. It should therefore not surprise anyone when they find a ratio quoted successively in multiple sources. The more significant the case, the more often other authors will have cited it. But, let us assume that I had simply copied the words from the site Wickethewok identified. Having now examined the URL given, the probable overlap is about 70 words. Before I had identified the alleged infringement, I asked on Wickethewok's talk page: "As a matter of interest what word or words is it suggested are copied from the source you identify and what proportion of the whole do those words represent?" I have not received a reply.
There are 4621 words on the page identified. The possible overlap was actually some 68 of those words. To be an infringement under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, a "substantial" number of words must be copied. This is both quantitative (and 68 from 4621 is not substantial) and qualitative i.e. like a plot twist or slogan in an advertising campaign (and there is nothing to distinguish these few words from any other words used as the examination questions). Thus, even if Wickethewok had been correct that I had copied from that site (whereas we had both simply used the same original source), the amount copied would not have been an infringement.
The procedure suggested at Wikipedia:Copyright problems is first to check with the uploading editor (which Wickethewok failed to do); secondly, to rewrite or remove the offending words to the talk page pending clarification (which Wickethewok failed to do). What Wickethewok actually did was, without warning, to blank an entire page of 1080 words which might have had 70 or so offending words on it. To show good will, I actually changed from a reported speech version of the judgment to a full paraphrase even though it was unnecessary but even that did not move Wickethewok to any more detailed explanation of what he/she thought that I had done to breach copyright. Then Wickethewok failed to list the page on the Copyright problems page with an explanation of the alleged problem. So, at every possible point in the process, Wickethewok failed to follow the relevant Wiki rules. The Wiki rules say that I have to assume good faith on Wickethewok's part, but he/she stretches patience to the limit. David91 01:23, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. My Mister Kite section got deleted, and I didn't understand why. Could someone help? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ackehallgren ( talk • contribs)

An author of 18 books published by well known presses (University of Chicago Press, MIT Press, Princeton University Press, Pantheon Books, University of California Press, and others) should be deleted as "Professorcruft"? Just because you haven't heard of him, dear, does not mean that he is not important.

I need your help in creating an appropriate and informational Wikipedia article for NJDX. NJDX OR-Mapper product was released in November 2005 and has been positively reviewed by prominent magazines, web sites, and industry experts as the following links indicate:
I have further revised the information about NJDX with just the simple facts as follows. Please edit it as appropriate and let me know what would be reasonable. You can send your comments to me at dperiwal@softwaretree.com. Thank you.

-Proposed Article for NJDX-
Software Tree’s NJDX™ product is a lightweight
Object-relational mapping (ORM) solution for bridging the gap between the .NET object model and SQL relational model. NJDX provides an object-oriented interface to store and retrieve .NET objects using relational databases avoiding the need to write and maintain low-level ADO.NET/SQL code.
NJDX employs a non-intrusive, dynamic, and meta-data driven programming methodology supporting pure domain object models.
NJDX has been tightly integrated with Visual Studio .NET and can be used with any CLR-based language including C#, VB.NET, and J#. NJDXStudio, the Visual Studio Add-In, simplifies many OR-Mapping related activities like forward-engineering, reverse-engineering, and mapping verification with live data.
NJDX works with Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, IBM DB2, Sybase, Microsoft Access, and any OleDB compliant data source. NJDX allows mapping of existing (legacy) relational data to .NET objects.
NJDX adheres to simplicity principles. NJDX feature list can be found here.
NJDX OR-Mapper has been used to re-architect the data access layer (DAL) of the Microsoft .NET PetShop. ( NJDX PetShop Project Report)
Software Tree also offers a similar OR-Mapping product (JDX™) for the Java platform. Free evaluation versions of JDX and NJDX OR-Mappers are available from Software Tree's web site ( http://www.softwaretree.com).

G'day, thanks for the prompt redirect of PIGUI/packages, but I think it really should be deleted instead.

Hey, Wickethewok, thanks for your great work on new pages patrol. I've realized though that since some <coughlazycough> admins don't always check to see whether there's a talk page on a CSD, and since you sometimes create one, you've left some dangling talk pages (I just went through some of your contribs and deleted a few of these). If explanation is needed, just use {{ db-reason}}, otherwise, the template is probably sufficient. Thanks, and keep it up. By the way, if you do run across any dangling talk pages you can just tag those {{ db-g8}}. Chick Bowen 05:04, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for doing newpage patrol. I have noticed however that you are prodding and AfDing pages that should be marked as speedy. In particular, 3dvw where you marked it as prod, then AfD within several minutes.
AfD is intended to be used on articles where there is a debate over the article's candidacy for inclusion. Marking as a speedy delete for non-notability would probably solicit a faster reaction from the administration without the need for AfD. If the submitter repeatedly removes prod or CSD tags, then it's time for AfD. In the case of 3dvw, no debate started, hence AfD was a bit premature.
If it's non-notable mark it for speedy deletion. If the author fights with you by removing the tag, then mark it AfD and leave a comment on the author's page.
Just some tips. Keep up the patrol!

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. Pooja.bhatt
You've been adding many band and record company stubs lately. But they don't contain enough information to verify the notability of the band. It would be appreciated if you'd put enough verifiable and linked information in each one to justify its inclusion in Wikipedia. Otherwise, for every stub you insert, someone else first has to verify that it's not another piece of band spam, and then insert enough info that someone else doesn't have to do that again. This is wearing down the Junior Woodchucks of the RC Patrol. Thank you. -- John Nagle 06:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

To Whom It May Concern:
Being a freelance writer, I took great lengths to adhere to your style guide, yet the article was marked for deletion due to the fact it did not adhere to "CORP" but it was written in neutral style and adhereed to your policy.
Where did I go wrong, as I patterned the information directly to several other companies in Wikipedia?
I also adhered to the "more than two" articles done by a thrid party and had them listed on the bottom of the page.
I look forward to your help in making sure I don't violate W's policy, yet get the article published.
Thank you.

Sir, I mean this in the most polite way possible, but I have to ask you, do you ever friggin watch sports? The Twins play not one, but 2 interleague series between the Brewers, the football rivalry has been considered one of the best in the NFL and even at the college ranks, the rivalry is acknowledged. Heard of "Paul Bunyan's Axe?" Unless you can prove otherwise, remove your reccomendation for deletion and watch ESPN once in a while. ColdRedRain 08:04, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Many web pages even say the Viking-Packer rivalry is the best rivalry in the NFL if not one of the best. Wikipedia even mentions it. Significant_rivalries_in_the_NFL Pages that usually don't say it's the best include it in a composite rivalry that also include the Bears.

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.
