Hi, Noted that the article on National Libraries Day is marked for deletion. Bit surprised as it is a national event backed by a number of renowned national bodies. Can you advise on what would ensure that this item is not deleted? Thanks. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Provide evidence that it is "backed by a number of renowned national bodies" and more importantly, evidence that the mainstream media, newspapers and TV have noticed it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:30, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought I did that by linking to the official site...it has a full list of the organisations backing it. Is that not sufficient? Ijclark76 (talk) 12:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Of course not! We want links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Please create your user page and declare your interest. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, so to clarify an official list of national organisations backing it is not sufficient, I need to provide national newspaper coverage as well? Just to be clear on this. How soon is it likely to be taken down as obviously it is this coming week-end and there is unlikely to be any coverage until later in the week? Thanks for your help, just want to ensure that I can address this appropriately. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Correct: newspaper coverage is what I would like to see. When taken down? National Libraries Day is all about encouraging people to read. I suggest you read the prod notice. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok, no problem. I'll add them when they are published. I take it BBC local news coverage at this stage doesn't count!? Perhaps I have created it too early. Will re-add after the week-end if required. Thanks for your help. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:58, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

Oh I see, didn't spot that I have a week. In that case it really isn't a problem and should be fine. Thanks again. Ijclark76 (talk) 12:59, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

• Why should BBC local news not count? Put it in - if someone thinks it inappropriate, they will take it out. For example, Nana Afua Antwi thinks the Barking and Dagenham Post is a reliable source. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:09, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

• Well, I did wonder. Wasn't sure how 'important' the source needed to be! I'll amend it at some point today referencing the BBC local news and the Evening Standard. Ijclark76 (talk) 13:18, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Ijclark76

Hi. I have only just started adding photos to my Lawshall pages and have noticed that File:Lawshall Swan.JPG is put forward for deletion. I see it is tagged as "F2. Corrupt or empty image." but wonder what the problem really is so that I can make sure such problems are avoided in the future. Regards Finnish Gas (11:44, 31 January 2012 (UTC)).

• Did you actually read the deletion tag? It says "an image, hosted on Commons, but with tags or information on its English Wikipedia description page that are no longer needed". Surely that is clear enough? You applied a category here on en:, realised your mistake, and applied the tag correctly on the Commons. Your only mistake was that instead of blanking the description here, you should have tagged it ((db-author)) to get it deleted. Incidentally, I consider it a crime to upload geographic images without proper coordinate information. See the gbmapping tag added here (thank goodness for Google Street View!). Geograph would welcome your images - and there they force you to geotag them properly. Incidentally 2: Wikipedians are very verbal people and tend to deprecate articles with too many images. Rather than overload the Lawshall article with even more images, create Commons:Lawshall as an annotated gallery of images of the village. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks - sorry to be a pain. Finnish Gas (Finnish Gas 12:16, 31 January 2012 (UTC)).

I did considerable editing to the Harper Adams University College on 14/11/11. Most of this has since been undone, with claims of copyright infringement. But it came from our own website and we chose to have the information repeated on Wikipedia. To make matters worse, it was replaced with an inappropriate reference to one of our competitors (possible vandalism). Is it possible to have it restored as per 14/11/11 please? (Communications Manager, Harper Adams) — Preceding unsigned comment added by JaclynGreen (talk • contribs) 12:48, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

• Go to the college's website and, on any page where there is text which you wish to use in the article here, place a clear declaration that the text is released under the CC-by-SA 3.0 licence. Place a statement on talk:Harper Adams University College pointing to that licensing. And with every edit you do using such text, mention in the edit summary that you have copied it. But it is better to let others with no COI write about the college - most of the stuff added on 14/11/11 was too long winded anyway for a Wikipedia article. But if you want to restore it to that state, why ask me? Just do it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth, I just now created article Redington (India) Ltd. After writing the article, I decided to move the page to Redington (India) Limited so that acronym for “Ltd” can be avoided. It was then I noticed that “Redington (India) Limited” was created 3 times in Jun 2011 and was deleted every time (A7, G11 & G12). As a result, the name has been blocked from creation. Redington is a public listed company with revenues over $3.4 billion. Since it is listed in two of the biggest stock markets in the world (BSE & NSE), I think there is a clear case for the article to be created and kept. Please review Redington (India) Ltd and should you deem fit, can you please move the page to “Redington (India) Limited”? Many thanks. Cheers AKS (talk) 14:39, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

• As an experienced editor, you should be ashamed of creating an article devoid of links to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Expand the article and add some proper references and I will reconsider your request. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:41, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

RHaworth, I think you should be ashamed of using foul language on social platform. Please go ahead and delete the article if you think Wikipedia if you personal property. There is a reason why different user levels are created in Wikipedia (like Admin etc) so that less experienced people like me can be guided and administered. If you do not have the character or manners to be an admin; then it is not my fault. It might be worthwhile for you to know that most of the information presented in the article has been taken from the "investor presentation" which is 100% authentic and is filed with the regulator (stock exchange). However, for easy reading (since the investor presentation runs into several dozen pages (and although I have quoted the presentation), I have referenced some parts of article to company website. Cheers AKS (talk) 17:16, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

• "Foul language" indeed - my remarks were well within the limits of parliamentary language. Also I am sorry if you did not recognise that I was giving you positive advice. I feel that you have very grudgingly done the absolute minimum in the hope that I will accept the article. I want to see a more enthusiastic improvement. I have e-mailed you one of the deleted states - it is hopelessly spammy but it will give you an indication that that a decent sized article can be created if you pull your finger out (and I am sure you will call that foul language!). If you get fed up with me, try the other admins who deleted previous states of Redington (India) Limited or simply move the article to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Redington (India) Limited and apply the appropriate AfC tag at the top of it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:20, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Dear RHaworth. Let me bring you back you basics. Read point # 4 in Wikipedia:Five pillars. "Respectful and civil manner" - do these words ring a bell???? Expressions like "ashamed" and "pull your figure out" might be acceptable by you as it might be a part of your daily life but certainly not mine. I don’t use them in general conversation; especially once when I am conversing with strangers. Following;
    • "Positive advice": Already taken about significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.
    • "Grudgingly done the absolute minimum": Who told you that I was doing anything so that you accept the article? I simply added some more independent sources (ref significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources you quoted). Article written by me complies with guidelines and is notable. I don’t have to prove anything to you. But as I said earlier, you want to delete the article - go ahead and do it; why wait for my actions?
    • "I want to see a more enthusiastic improvement": No one writes on Wikipedia as per your guidelines or desires. I will do what the Wiki rule says and if the criteria are met then I don’t have to show my enthusiasm to anyone - you included. What are you - a school teacher & Wikipedia a primary school?
    • "E-mailed you": Received, thanks.
    • "Decent sized article": What exactly is a decent size article & where exactly is "decent size" defined? If you feel that the article size can be expanded then do it yourself. Why tell me? I am not your assistant.
    • "If you get fed up with me": Thanks. I did not know you can read minds too :-)

It is good to see experienced people like you with so much of volunteer work. However it is a real shame & waste that the temperament is not right. For example, in your first message (not talking about the language you used) you actually ended up drawing my attention towards something that I could have done better. However, you made me waste my time and energy (including your own) on writing useless stuff when we could have utilized the same time, energy and effort in something more constructive and meaningful. I am not interested in talking to you any further and am ending my conversation here. CheersAKS (talk) 04:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

If you had actually taken the time to check the websites you would have realised the pictures were free because the websites had released them to the public. However I hold no anger but I just say unto you that all I try to do is make the politicians or artistes of Jamaica more known to the wider public in an attempt at promoting Jamaica. At the same time Wiki develops as a source for information. If you insist on removing harmless pictures that only help to develop pages.... Kudos to you. Bye. -JamaicanMD — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamaicanMD (talk • contribs) 01:25, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

You are a piece of work good sir. Since you love running through my uploads why don't you actually check the internet and do some of your own research... What a waste. You sir are the reason wiki has so little information.

• OK. Let us start with your most recent upload: File:Jamaica Minister of Tourism Wykeham McNeill.jpg. It is totally unsatisfactory to say it was legitimately released to the public. We need sound evidence to that effect, eg. a link the web page where you found it with a clear CC licence on it or an OTRS ticket number. I should not have to do my research - you must provide the evidence for us. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:38, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Not sure if that is evidence but I provided the source JIS is free. Also as you can see I am new but I believe Jamaiaca, like any other country needs recognition. The tourism and Prime Minister are vital and two of the most searched politicians by any foreign persons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamaicanMD (talk • contribs) 01:41, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

• http://jis.gov.jm states at the bottom the page "© 2012, Jamaica Information Service All rights reserved". Does that look like "free" to you? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Ok do whatever you must. I am not used to Wiki procedure I will not argue. If this is the way Wiki admin behave (that is considering you are an admin) then I do not wish to continue here, I hope they find someone else who can contribute as much to Jamaican politicians and artistes as I have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamaicanMD (talk • contribs) 01:47, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Ought user talk pages not be speedied? (U1, G7, RTV). It Is Me Here ^{t / c} 18:09, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

• In general you are correct. But in this case no-one but the user themselves had edited the page so I thought it was valid to delete as "one author who has requested deletion" (G7). — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:14, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

But that's the thing: the G7 paragraph excludes user talk pages from its remit (N.B. I had a similar discussion on this subject recently). It Is Me Here ^{t / c} 18:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

• The G7 write-up mentions "including a wish to permanently leave Wikipedia". I think the subject is not worth discussing. But I have restored it for a second opinion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

In future I would appreciate if you did not refer to me as "someone", or to my messages on your talk page as "moaning". It Is Me Here ^{t / c} 14:40, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

• But you are an admin! It would have been a lot simpler if you had restored the page yourself and simply told me why you had done so. I would probably have accepted the action without comment. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:30, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Please await an image's permission before deleting it on the same day for lack of credible permission, as you just did in the case of file:sharks2012.jpg. — WoodyJoe (talk) 17:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear RHaworth, I have done as you have mentioned however I want to know how the image can display within Wikipedia and not just the link to an image within Commons. Can you point me to the appropriate code to use? Please advise --Smikect 17:14, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

• First, do the upload properly: go to commons:file:Pathfinder proficiency.jpg (why did you not give me a link to it?) add a desription and put it in some appropriate categories. As to using it: look at 44 Parachute Brigade (South Africa). Some of the images in the Weaponry section are from the Commons - how are they displayed? Please also transfer your other image uploads here to the Commons. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:20, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I notice on 7th Feb you deleted the Prisoners of Conscience Appeal Fund page. I work for this small charity and I would like to create a page for our organisation as it is our 50th anniversary year and I would like to explain our history etc. I do not think this would be classed as advertising or promotion as other similar organisations such as Amnesty have pages. Please could you put the page back up so I can edit it. Many thanks, Claire Ranyard — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.36.117.250 (talk) 08:59, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• Consider yourself lucky that I am replying - I usually ignore IP address contributions. Deleting your article was an easy decision: I saw the words "we" and "our" and needed to read no further. Have you actually read any Wikipedia articles? My best advice is wait until someone with no COI thinks your fund is notable and writes about it. If you insist on trying to force an article in, try finding a sponsor. But first, actually try and write appropriate text for a Wikipedia article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:57, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi RHaworth. I've opened a deletion review on Nick Pitera, an article you deleted in July 2008. It looks to me like this artist is now clearly covered by mainstream music critics and media, and therefore now meets Wikipedia notability criteria. I've also commented on the Talk page, initially before I realized that the page was under creation protection, and therefore needs an administrator. Cheers. N2e (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear RHaworth, My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you. Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

• Four years here and you still don't know how to fix or know to link to articles from talk pages! This edit should have given you a clue. At the top of every page, to the right of "view history" is a pull-down list. It will offer you a "move" option.

You wanted the article deleted so why nit-pick over the deletion reason? I have no idea why I used G8 for the deletion reason - just a temporary lapse.

You recently deleted the article, Dunrae manufacturing v C L North under speedy A7. But it is an article about a legal case, and does not fall under the conditions for A7 . (of course the article is not satisfactory without some indication that it is a standard textbook example or major precedent, and I have so advised the author.) Since this is fixable, please restore the article--I'm sure you know this, of course, so I assume it was just an error on your part. When the speedy is an error, I think we must correct errors to give clear advice to the contributor, -- even if there is little chance of the article being accepted at AfD.

IAR implies confidence that essentially everyone in good faith would approve. I never use IAR for CSD, and, for that matter, never approve of anyone else doing so. As it was possible to tell it was a NZ court case, & had a name, there was context. I've asked the contributor in a specific message to provide more information & references & an indication of why it's important for similar articles they've written, & intend to follow up with them. Regardless of the individual article, it sends a wrong message to newcomers to delete for the wrong reason, because then they will not understand the rules. That reason alone should be sufficient to convince you. DGG ( talk ) 16:55, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I can't understand why when this is the main body representing fair trade businesses in Britain with over 100 bafts registered retailers in the UK and more joiniong monthly. World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) has a wikipedia page as do other related fair trade bodies. I made this page because I tried to use wikipedia to find info about BAFTS and it didnt exist.

The Artilce talk page was providing all the information of previous AFD and clearly the artilce matched all the noteablity criteria. However I did try to warn the users in advance about the AFD, So what is the problem? At least it could have been nominated for a fair debate. — X*biologist (talk) 01:38, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

• Oh dear, what is LSE coming to - students who cannot spell. There was no problem. It was a piece of blatant self promotion by an officer of a company that is blocked by our spam filter. One AfD discussion was quite sufficient. The references in the new article did not seem any better than the deleted one. You can raised the matter at deletion review but do not get too hopeful. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 02:03, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

This seems somewhat inappropriate to me. You realise, don't you, that Family Integrated Church is not the name of a church, but only have a concept? There are lots of WP editors interested in a particular topic - often their usernames reflect that. StAnselm (talk) 20:11, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

• I did not realise. Since it is the name of a concept, why are you and why was the article spelling it with capital letters? I still think the user name is inappropriate and the user's sole purpose here seems to be to promote A Weed in the Church. But if they put up a good case, an unblock request will receive consideration. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:58, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

I spelt it with capital letters per the article name. I created the article as Family integrated church, and then another user moved it to Family Integrated Church, citing MOS:CAPS. StAnselm (talk) 00:39, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for the email. I notice it was word for word the same as this page. StAnselm (talk) 11:02, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

What is the problem establishing a statistics table for the Wikipedia:WikiProject St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador? The category was created then deleted one minute later? Please advise asap as I'm trying to do this now. Argolin (talk) 09:25, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

• Did you actually look at the title you created. I deleted Editing Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles by importance and Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles articles by quality. Try looking at your contributions and editing the right title. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:33, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Ya, but no one gave me even a minute to try to fix anything? Argolin (talk) 09:37, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

• You had eight minutes. In those eight minutes, instead of writing a "do not delete" rationale, you could have moved the page. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:42, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Where did this eight minute time limit come from? I don't set up stats table everyday, so you'll have to forgive the dely. Argolin (talk) 09:52, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

• Please read my message again. Did I say anything about a time limit? I merely said that you had ample time to detect your error and correct it. Having moved the page, you would be allowed all the time in the world to learn about stats tables. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:13, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

My point is eight minutes is ample time? Setting up the table and using it are two different things. When I received notification of the speedy delete, the banner told me to comment on why it shouldn't be deleted: that's what I did but it was deleted anyway. I was surprised when the ((WikiProject Canada)) named the Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles and omited the Wikiproject. I was under the impression that your category project was not to delete these project classes. Argolin (talk) 05:56, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

• Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles by importance is a perfectly acceptable page about which I have no complaint. But am talking about Editing Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles by importance where you had eight minutes warning between speedy tag and deletion. Please confirm that:a) you realise that Editing Category:St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador articles by importance is a mistake title and b) the most sensible thing to do when you realised your mistake would have been to move the article instantly and c) write a "do not delete message" of now moved - it is OK on this title is isn't it?. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:51, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi RHaworth. User talk:Megasonicfan101 is asking for help on his talkpage using ((helpme)) as to why you deleted a page he created. Cheers, benzband (talk) 14:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi RHaworth, Could you please indicate if there is any tutorial to wikipedia article creation? I believe the procedure I used to create gamma trading article was not adequate.

Thank you vm, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curious apprentice (talk • contribs) 20:22, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

• There are numerous help pages. You could start at Wikipedia:Your first article but possibly more useful would be to find well-established articles related to your subject (which, please note, should be spelled without capitals. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:35, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that you would block me for a year and comment on my talk page about this because i get nervis when bad comments come up. Walter55000 13:23, 20 feburary 2012 (posted by 72.161.12.108 (talk))

• Thank you for telling us your new name. Indications so far are not at all promising: you have created two AfC submissions which do not even attempt to assert the notability of their subjects. Your addition to Toy Story 3 will continue to be reverted until you provide good, independent supporting evidence. Personally I will give you a week to prove that you have turned around but do not be surprised if another admin blocks you sooner. As to taking out vandalism, what advice do you want? Just watch new pages and recent changes and you will see plenty to keep you busy. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:10, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

anyway the afc was to get messages and help also can you put a link for a vandalism page?--Walter55024 (talk) 17:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

• Did you actually see my links to new pages and recent changes above? The whole point about fighting vandalism is that we need more people to find it. If I see vandalism, I fix it on the spot. I don't pass it on to someone else to fix. An higher proportion of vandalism comes from IP addresses. Here are some examples (all now fixed): unsourced additions: this and this; pure vandalism: this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:42, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi there - I've been waiting for someone to delete Tudor Grange Academy Worcester so the proposed page move I requested (and the move in the header of this message) can go ahead - why have you move protected the article? Mato (talk) 18:26, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

• Unless there is more than one Tudor Grange School we do not need to add the word Worcester to the title. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:27, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

There are two schools, as I stated in my request: Tudor Grange School is now Tudor Grange Academy; Tudor Grange Academy is now Tudor Grange Academy Worcester. Mato (talk) 18:29, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

• Try it now. The lack of a comma in Tudor Grange Academy Worcester stikes me as affectation. But I am not going to fight over it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you - yes I agree the comma is in keeping with convention, though the DfE lists the school's name without a comma. Dab page seems to work well, just one problem you misspelled 'Solihull' in the new page name. Thanks. Mato (talk) 18:41, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth , The template ((Indian mathematics)) contains the name of Bhāskara II but it doesn't include any of his work in the treatise section. I think Siddhānta Shiromani his magnum opus, should be included in the treatise section. Just can't figure out how to do it. Sourodeep25 (talk) 16:41, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

• For goodness sake! What is the problem? Did you not see "v · d · e" at top left of the template? What happens if you click on the "e"? Or why cannot you go to template:Indian mathematics and edit it? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:56, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

The deletion of redirects as a result of a page moves for article names that contain the abbreviation does not seem to be consistently applied. See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2012_February_19#CALM.2C_Campaign_Against_Living_Miserably and the following three entries. Who is "right"? Are there some overly pedantic admins out there? Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 23:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

• I am quite consistent - I usually move without leaving a redirect. I would have done so in the case of TGen Drug Development (TD2) but I could not be bothered to fix the incoming links. (In fact the same argument goes for keeping calm. But there is no reason to keep the other three.) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:56, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

My article on Monetary Annexation got deleted, and I think you deleted it(?). I am very new to Wikipedia, so I hope I am doing this correctly. As I understand it, my article got deleted under the speedy deletion process and you were the person who deleted it. I guess, what now? I think it got labeled as being "promotional". That was not my intent. I just think it is a really nifty idea (my enthusiasm may have been misinterpreted as endorsement(?)). I have also found that it is a rare concept, and even a rare name for it. I recently went to a conference where it was talked about, though people were generally not familiar with the name. Thus, I figured that there was a group of people that were interested in this knowledge, and I had the knowledge, so I posted it. Being my first article, I am sure my presentation was lacking and I didn't have many links. I tried to find some real quick because I heard that if you don't have links it looks like you are making something up. Did I not find enough, or did you not like the ones I had? Just let me know what I can do to get the page back. Thanks, LCM — Preceding unsigned comment added by LawrenceChesterManning (talk • contribs) 17:30, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

• Whaddya mean "think" I deleted it. What does the log say? OK, perhaps is what inappropriate to delete as spam but it certainly read like original research / hopeless neologism (which you in fact admit). It was also written in very poor English. If you can actually produce a comprehensible version supported by reliable sources, feel free to submit via AfC. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:42, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

As Blood Runs Black. I'm trying to either create a new version of this article, or restore a previous version that was deleted. The original article was deleted as the band hadn't done much, and seemed destined to fold. They have since gone on to release their second album, and are as notable as many of the other bands on wikipedia. Can a previous version of the article be restored for me to update? Duncan3dc (talk) 20:55, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

• I am certainly not going to restore an article that has been deleted eight times on the strength of a totally unreferenced article about their second album. I will gladly e-mail you the text but read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:31, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm not asking for it to be restored on the strength of an unreference article about their second album, I'm asking for it to be restored as it meets 2 of the criteria specified by WP:BAND that I added to your talk page and you removed [1]. Why is this band not considered notable? Having said that yes I would appreciate you emailing me the text, thanks Duncan3dc (talk) 08:18, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
