Hi Roger. I reported several other socks to DoRD if you feel like blocking them. User_talk:DoRD#Sock_accounts. INeverCry 22:09, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
I would like to know why you delete my article. I understand that the first time my article got deleted was because I did not cite a reliable source. But this time I am citing from a reliable source, United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Also this article is about an invention which technical aspects are being explained here. And can not be changed in second article. But I did amend by using this reliable source. Please explain why you delete this automatic pitch turbine.

Hello Roger (RHaworth), You deleted my submission for Isaac Fadoyebo because it didn't meet the significance test however I feel your deletion is not merited. Please restore the page.
Extended content
|
---|
for the following reasons:
1. Mr. Fadoyebo's death was covered by multiple news sources, see the following links: http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2012/nov/21/isaac-fadoyebo-obituary, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/9709639/Isaac-Fadoyebo.html. When he was alive an Al Jazeera documentary was produced about his World War 2 actions in Burma, see: http://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/aljazeeracorrespondent/2011/08/20118101111351997.html 2. There are now 2 books that cover Fadoyebo's perspective as an African fighting for Great Britain in World War 2, see the following; http://books.google.com/books/about/A_stroke_of_unbelievable_luck.html?id=9ByFAAAAIAAJ, and a new book by Barnaby Phillips of Al Jazeera and formerly the BBC: http://www.amazon.com/Another-Mans-War-Britains-Forgotten/dp/1780745222 |
4. The Barnaby Phillips article references Isaac Fadoyebo. Furthermore, Barnaby Phillip's documentary about Fadoyebo can also be viewed here.
5. The most important reason why Fadoyebo's submission in Wikipedia is important is that his personal account of the war is now stored at the Imperial War Museum .
I hope I hear from you soon. Cheers, Oloye79. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oloye79 (talk • contribs)

Dear Roger, Please restore the Article Draft:AskACatholic.com*. I am new to this but open to constructive criticism and feedback to make any possible future article publishable. When you deleted the draft I had not finished my work (putting in my references). It was my understanding that Draft articles are not live ones. I'm only trying to follow the similar path of another organization whose article was not deleted as mine was Catholic Answers. We do similar work. Can you at least e-mail what you deleted. I put a lot of time to developing that article. Best regards, Mike Humphrey mike.humphrey@rcn.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikehump (talk • contribs) 20:46, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I have written the article by the name of Survey Camp. But no one has reviewed it yet for about two days. Take care of this matter immediately. Thanks User:Owais khursheed — Preceding undated comment added 15:34, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello RHaworth. Recently this article John J. "Bald Jack" Ryan was created by what looks to be a SPA editor. A discussion on the talk page wound up showing that there are some references out there that could be used but at the moment it is an unsourced mess that (IMO) is a long way away from being a Wikipedia article. The question I have is there a place to go other than AFD to recommend that it be moved to a user sandbox or draft space as you did with the article mentioned in the above thread? If not are there any other alternatives? Thanks for your time. MarnetteD|Talk 16:07, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the responses. I have not dealt with this before so I appreciate the input. RH, I haven't userfied anything before and I am leery of creating redirects. I am as likely to mess it up as not. D, I am not interested in the subject at all and I don't have the time or desire to work on the article. When I posted my question there were no sources in the article. I notice that there are some now. It is still a long way from encyclopedic and reads like a college thesis paper. But that is just me. Others who are interested in the subject will come along and improve it in time. Thanks again to you both for sharing your thoughts. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 20:32, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth! I recently had an article tagged for possible self-promotion when I was trying to seek help from other users on how to get my article ready for publishing. The article was User:Theharrybell/David Rubenstein (attorney). Is there any way that you can restore this deletion? Also, if you have any suggestions on how to make my article better so that it is not tagged for deletion again, I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you RHaworth! — Theharrybell (talk) 18:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I want to publish an article about a company I work for Xeltek and I saw a previous article that was deleted in 2012 because: A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject. This is a Global leader company in its industry that has more than 20 years of history so I would like to know how did we fail to indicate the significance of the subject, other companies of the sector such as Elnec have an article in Wikipedia. In their page they mention Xeltek as big competitor. We can provide strong secondary sources and information about the company. This is a technology company that manufacturers programmers and works on developing technology,it also publishes valuable information on electrical engineering and programming. I would like to write an informational article about the company, its history and its trademark registered line product. Please let me know how to proceed. Thank you, Pilarxeltek (talk · contribs)

Why redirect a talk page of an article that was deleted basically because of vandalism? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:24, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
OK, I see that you have not modified things now so that London, Ashford and Dover Railway now redirects to London, Chatham and Dover Railway. Why?

Hi there. I am not familiar with the rules around posting images and was wondering if the following image is absolutely not permissible: File:SoodenHostageVideo.png. I'd like to use a screenshot from the hostage video of a hostage in Iraq that was taken by the kidnappers (see Harmeet Singh Sooden). However, it seems news media has taken over the copyright. Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated. Thank you, Wikimuntu (talk) 00:09, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Your speedy deletion of the article was under A3, which doesn't make any sense. Please restore the content with revision history. Thanks. -- C S (talk) 21:45, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
I don't see any justification other than you citing A3. Please explain your rationale for deletion. Otherwise I will submit this to deletion review with the comment that deleting admin refuses to explain him/herself. Thanks. -- C S (talk) 00:28, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
You moved it to a user's sandbox. Now why on earth would you delete a perfectly good stub by citing A3, and then restore-move it to a user page? I don't see any explanation here or or in the log. -- C S (talk) 00:41, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

You recently deleted a wikipedia page on Q&Aid Research Institute on 18 August 2014, 09:23 because of (A7: Article about a company, corporation or organization, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject). I believe that this is not true. The wikipedia page I posted about this company had no bias or promotional material. Everything was properly cited and nothing on that page was false. While this company is new and does not have much attention, it does provide an important community service by providing free information on cancer prevention methods and health management techniques. The company currently has a database for traditional herbal medicine with modern scientific backing and research. this should fall under and "educational institute" and it does have importance and significance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.78.44.42 (talk) 18:35, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

You seem to have deleted an afc for world champion in two sports, which had extensive acceptable documentation (which I verified). Fortunately, I check the deletion log from time to time, even though it is much harder to check on the contents after an article has been deleted. Relying on a no longer present editor to ask for restoration is not often effective. I apologized to the after I undeleted and accepted the article as it stood, though I subsequently made a few formatting changes. (to be sure, the editor made the error of not formally re-submitting it after he changed the unacceptable references to acceptable ones, but we can hardly expect newcomers to get our procedures right all the time.) — DGG ( talk ) 16:03, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth, Sorry for coming back to this topic a bit later than helpful, but we have a time difference here so I just noticed that the article CyberGhost VPN has been deleted faster than the speed of light ... ;-) I didn't intend to provoke such a harsh reaction. Otherwise I would have sandboxed the article and discussed it from there. In fact, I had been pretty sure I have avoided as much pitfuls as possible to leave room enough for discussions with other Wikipedians to create an article which serves public interests - that's why I did tag the article with the neutrality flag myself. I obviously failed. But I am also very astonished to be kicked out from Wikipedia, even though I offered all possible forms of discussing the topic (imo). So, how can we open a frutile discussion? I'd be eager to learn, why you decided the way you did, what you think, I/we can do better, what passages need to be re-written and what other changes need to be done. After all, CyberGhost VPN is a software product like many others and does serve a public interest by providing a powerful free anonymization service for everybody. - Ulrich (which is my real name) W1k1p1CG (talk) 10:36, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Well, ever thought about why I never made any attempt to hide my intentions? I actually thought, we are all grown ups and would be able to start a discussion without offending people. To make this one clear: I am not a marketing specialists nor do I want to be confused as one nor am I experienced with Wikipedia. I am just an ordinary german content provider who tried to start an article in a foreign language and actually also asked for help. So did anybody actually read what I wrote or was it just a reflex? However, I carefully read about COI and do understand your point of view - even though I felt misunderstood and offended by the words you used and the harsh reactions. I believe as much as you in what Wikipedia should provide (an objective encyclopedia of everything) - but we might just have different opinions on how to reach that goal ... - Ulrich 91.11.66.13 (talk) 09:39, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
You assumed wrongly, sorry. It was simply a mistake, based on the German word 'fruchtbar'. I just confused it with the English word 'frutile' because of its somehow similar spelling for me as a German. However, that's nothing I expect you should have known, of course, but, since these are my last words here about this topic (the article on Wikipedia had been given up) allow me to correct this to fruitile as a neologism to fruitful and fertile. Have a nice life. - Ulrich 91.11.66.13 (talk) 09:39, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Arev Armenian Folk Ensemble, aka Arev Folk Ensemble. I got the wiki link to the removed article from Ixquick. I want to access it. I don't understand what has happened to Wikipedia, right and left removing articles on subjects I look up. It seems as if every darn character in every darn video game is thought worthy of inclusion, yet a significant music ensemble (which pulls up over 500 hits on Ixquick when put in quotes and another 300+ under its alternate name without "Armenian" in it, and 170 for Youtube hits alone) is removed. It is good that there are options to retrieve some articles, or to protest a removal, but that is a lot of extra work for the user! What can be done to stop these deletions perpetrated by people whose basis for doing so is their lack of knowledge or appreciation of many worthy subjects? — Xerlome (talk) 18:34, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

It doesn't make sense to delete G.rongi page when other pages with no reference and no content remain on wikipedia such as Emcee rumaz or K-South pages. I do not understand the principles of wikipedia, I really need explanation. The article on G.rongi was written by a PHD holder who works on kenyan hip hop! The article was well documented. Please reconsider the article or tell me how to improve it. G.rongi is surely more notable than many other artists on wikipedia ( Emcee Rumaz and others.)
