Dear Mr. Velella, I am extremely sorry if the page I created was not sufficient, however I am a freshman in High school and this is a very important project that I have worked very hard on and spent a large amount of time on. Please don't try and delete my page. I will take any suggestions on how to make my sources more useful and valid and I will also and the tag letting people know that I am a student working on the page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellietycer (talk • contribs) 04:44, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

I noticed you removed the CSD from the article because there is a claim of notability. If this was tagged as a A7 this would be logical, but the article was tagged as a G11. Your logic does not apply. reddogsix (talk) 23:48, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Velella,
I apologise with utmost sincerity for the unintended vandalism I did on Alan Rickman's page. It was definitely not my intention to vandalise his page, I only wanted to add to it. Ever since he died, I wanted to find out about his funeral, as I felt sad having to say goodbye to one of my favourite actors. Unfortunately, there were no online sources available, so I had to ask some fans instead. After finding out he was apparently cremated (with his ashes retained by his wife), I assumed this was fact as I was even sent a picture of the invite, which I have attached. I knew that asking fans is an unreliable source, but I had to do it because there was no information about his funeral online. I only wanted to add to his page, not vandalise it. I noticed that Simple English Wikipedia has a category for people who were cremated, but none on the main Wikipedia, so I had to create it. Unfortunately, I have no experience with HTML and had to create the category by adding it onto his page, then creating the category page itself. I added a few other famous cremated people into it (e.g. Marc Bolan) to add to it. I am deeply sorry for any trouble I may have caused and I regret my actions. I promise to be a better Wikipedian in the future and use more reliable sources.
Yours truly,
Lembowman — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lembowman (talk • contribs) 21:50, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Dear Velella,
I just want you to know that "People who were cremated" is now an official Wikipedia category and I have linked it up with the original Simple English version. I created the page and published it so it now an official category that can be attached to the articles of notable people who were cremated.
Yours truly,
Lembowman

My page for the Dunellen Red Devils should have not been deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thagreatbaldino (talk • contribs) 14:29, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for patrolling new pages. Please remember to inform the creator when tagging a page for deletion, this will give them time to address the issue or raise an objection. Using an appropriate script will do this automatically. Since 2012 all new pages should be patrolled using WP:Page curation although for isolated pages, the Twinkle script will also automatically inform the user. For more information please see WP:NPP or ask me on my talk page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:15, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Velella. Why did you tag Thiel Audio with a ((db-corp)) as you did in this diff? Sam Sailor Talk! 17:53, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello Velella. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Stefun Jahangir Carzon. It is also suggested that pages that might meet CSD A7 criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. Adam9007 (talk) 22:37, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello, there seems to be some confusion on a page that I created. After the page had been placed into AfD and a discussion developed, you posted in favor of speedy deletion, in violation of the process rules. I did not want to remove your comments without talking to you first. Please remove your PROD support endorsement from the page listing as soon as possible. Thank you. FeelTheBernBaby (talk) 02:23, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi Velella. I am a very new editor. I found your username while reading through listings of possible copyright problems in order to figure out how to ask for help from the folks that process potential copyright problems. As I couldn't figure out where to post my own question on that page, and only got so far on the Teahouse, I thought I might ask you. I'd like the support of an experienced editor to help me navigate the potentially murky waters of whether it is a actually a problem, what category of problem, and if necessary and how to get it listed on Copyright Problems Page.
Is this something you are available to discuss with me?

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Delilah_Alvares, CYA there. --OGfromtheGut (talk) 21:13, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools and the discussions relevant to it. Educational institutions are specifically excluded from the A7 guideline, because regardless of notability they are handled in a particular way. For high schools and colleges,they are considered for convenience as if hey are notable and kept. This is one half of a purely empirical compromise intended to lessen the burden of AfD discussions on them. The other half off the compromise is that primary and junior high schools are not kept unless they actually do clearly meet the standards for notability , which is quite rare. Instead they are either merged to a section on education for the locality, or listed on s list or sometimes a combination article for the schools in a particular area. This is one of the purposes of lists: to deal with things that ought to be mentioned but are not sufficiently notable for a separate article. It's specifically mentioned as a technique in Deletion policy. (their inclusion on a list for the locality is not unique--we handle churches and cultural institutions the same way in most cases)
The compromise has been pretty stable since about 2008. There are occasional challenges, and you are welcome to discuss it again, but before you do, ask yourself if you really want to participate in the 50,000 or so afds that would result, because if it fails, not only every high school, but every elementary school, will be defended there, as used to be the case.

Aloha Velella,
I was editing the Direct Action Everywhere wiki page and was about to add my sources when you kept removing my edits. :) Ok, fair enough, but I am new to the process and simply need some guidance, can you help? I need instructions on how to add my edits while inserting references, removing all my edits simply appears rude, but hey, I'm new to this, so will accept the behavior as standard for wiki.

I'm not clear on what "one sided" means? What was added was factual material and I was ready to add the citations when my edits were removed. I'll redo my work with citations, sections at a time, and a question, what is your capacity at wiki? Are you a proofer or an interested third party watching over edits? Simply curious and thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 808alles (talk • contribs) 23:14, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
This speedy deletion tag was too speedy. Since the author had only created the article one minute prior to your tagging, you have no way of knowing whether the author intended to flesh out the one-liner with details that would have positively asserted this person's notability. In general, I feel it is best to allow an article to exist for at least 15 minutes prior to speedy deletion tagging, except in cases of attack or copyright violation pages. Tagging faster than that, especially on new authors' articles, can be very bitey. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:15, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

There seems to be confusion about the references provided as they clearly demonstrate notability. Burgunder has received extensive media recognition in both national and international publications on his accomplishments. Many of the media outlets are independent of the subject, too. Such publications include Running USA, Colorado Runner, ESPN, Pittsburgh City Paper, Pittsburgh Tribune Review, Naples Daily News, Associated Press, Competitor Magazine, CBS The Early Show, 71.211.184.218 (talk) 18:53, 30 June 2016 (UTC)and several of others. All of these publications have highlighted Burgunder's accomplishments.
As for notability in terms of athletics, Burgunder was selected to represent the only US men's team to compete in the Greatest Race on Earth and this was covered by the Associated Press. Burgunder is also a multiple record holder in terms of XTERRA trail running, which is the largest organized trail running circuit in the world. Also, Burgunder has garnered several of other impressive accomplishments that make his background unique and notable.
Lastly, Burgunder has received national recognition as a sports business person as he was named one of the rising stars in sports business by the Sports Networker, which is recognized as a national authority for the sports business industry.
Therefore, Burgunder is notable and is worthy of being published on Wikipedia.

Sorry, but I've declined your speedy on the Ratman thing. There is plenty of stuff on Google (I am not guaranteeing the reliability of any of it, though), so it isn't a case of someone posting misinformation to vandalise Wikipedia. The notability of the piece is another matter. It's got more going for it than the usual 'children murdered in the wood' that haunt the classrooms of the nearby school stuff we get, but it could do with evidence of the murder in the underpass being real OR evidence that it is a wifely believed myth. (I've had two of my own creations repeated to me after quite a few years of having nearly forgotten them.

Hi there, you put a speedy deletion label on UDR Inc under A7 (not notable).
It's a member of the S&P 500 Index, which means it's one of the 500 largest companies on the NYSE and the NASDAQ.
As I remember it, membership of a major index is one of the criteria for notability, but even disregarding that, it's a pretty major company!
I totally understand that the page is a stub, my intention was to build just enough that it would be valid, and allow it to be subsequently built upon.
Let me know if you think I missed the mark, but otherwise could we avoid trashing it?

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article ThisisDA is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ThisisDA until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. for (;;) (talk) 11:19, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

I also don't recognise your permission to 'block' either. The wiki rules prevent it. You are not the police, you are in interfering busy-body with no authority on this subject.
The rule you are breaking -
Conflicts and involvement Edit Administrators must not block users with whom they are engaged in a content dispute; instead, they should report the problem to other administrators. Administrators should also be aware of potential conflicts involving pages or subject areas with which they are involved. It is acceptable for an administrator to block someone who has been engaging in clear-cut vandalism in that administrator's userspace. AlecCollie (talk) 21:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Velella,
First off, thank you very much for reaching out to help me edit the page Sinfire. I am looking to change the page name to Sinfire Cinnamon Whisky. However, the page Sinfire Cinnamon Whisky already exists. I thought it would be okay to copy the entire page and paste it into Sinfire Cinnamon Whisky, and then redirect the Sinfire page to Sinfire Cinnamon Whisky. Would you have any recommendations on how to do this?
Also, I got a message that i'm not allowed to deleted things from the page if they are sourced and then a message that some of the sources might not be reliable. Any recommendations on how to get rid of these messages? The sources used all back up true facts

Thank you for your response! I was in the wrong for not discussing the removal of content. I am glad you added it back since I was unaware of how to do so. Also, I added some more sources which I hope will help make the case for Sinfire to be a notable page. If you do not feel this way after reviewing the edits, I would greatly appreciate some specific examples of the areas that show that it doesn't warrant a page. Again, thank you for your time and I look forward to rectifying these issues! Mikegabrielli (talk) 18:00, 31 August 2016 (UTC)Mikegabrielli

Dear Mr. Vellela- I am a student at Liberty University Online, and consequently, Liberty Common School often popped up on my browser. In doing research of the school and its principal (Bob Schaffer), I noticed his wikipedia page was seriously outdated. Additionally, I noticed that a portion of it presented assertions and opinions as facts, arguably a coatrack article, was an attack article and cited a major city newspaper that has since been demonstrably disproven. In an attempt to provide neutrality and update information, my edits were rejected. I have made some sourcing changes that are superficial yet will satisfy wiki policy. However, in the Attempt to Link Schaffer to Abramoff section, I have cited a blog that might not meet the wiki definition of reliable source. I implore you to juxtapose the journalistic integrity of http://www.rossputin.com/blog/index.php/bob-schaffer-and-the-real-cnmi-story-par-2 and the related links with the (lack thereof) journalistic integrity of the Denver Post citation. The former delves into much deeper depths, interviews more sources, and leaves no stone unturned in the reporting that was done so thoroughly over a 10-part series. The so-called acceptable source does not come near the journalism quality in the source linked by me. Additionally, my edits serve to provide balance and neutrality, which I know Wikipedia strives for. I will be making the edits again, I hope you take a close look at the sources and see the benefit the edits serve to Wikipedia readers. Regards, JacksonSarahWY (talk) 20:35, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
__ Your accusations of my being close to the source are wholly unfounded. I told you how I came onto this page as it is entirely unrelated to anything other than the subject is principal of a school that has part of the same name of my school. Again, I did research on schools in Fort Collins and see that this wikipedia page is seriously outdated and biased. There is absolutely zero attempt to whitewash, rather, provide the counter to the false allegations done by a disproven source. I wish you would take the time to compare the quality of the reporting, rather than just read the name of the media outlet doing the reporting. Flip this around, and it looks like you are trying to whitewash a neutral point of view in favor of a biased attack article by a disproves source. I have spent a lot of time trying to improve this wikipedia site, I should be thanked. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JacksonSarahWY (talk • contribs) 21:25, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

It was an exercise for a Digital Marketing course on the unit about co-creation and content democracy: how users can create such a wonderful thing as Wikipedia, but in the unit they didn't take you into account.

Problems with Condensing Boiler Technology - the end game? This is to be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problems_with_Condensing_Boiler_Technology_-_the_end_game%3F
Hello Velella. Thank you for your review of this article with suggestion for deletion by yourself. I am new to WP, this is my first article, and after telling some others about my contribution, they wanted to have their say and defend the page of their own volition. Particularly so on the delete/keep page listing. How is an entry made on that page? if you can give a clear and concise summary that would be welcome. Thanks.

Hi Velella, Have you noticed the articles you nominate for deletion (your nomination) was recreated with different name (Lalithaa jewellery as Lalithaa Jewellery Mart and KiranKumar as M Kiran Kumar). I mistakenly tagged Lalithaa Jewellery Mart for G4 because I thought it was deleted after a deletion discussion but then I found the deletion result was G11. I want to know if you can please have a look at Lalithaa Jewellery Mart and let me know if this is the same version of the one you took it to AfD because I personally feel it still don't meet GNG.

Thank you for your comments.
I have tried to add even a mere reference to the above article on the Condensing Boiler page (as you suggested) but Andy Dingly takes it down immediately. My main article is well researched, is not 'new research or soapboxing', the content has a strong following (ten years +) in both the UK news (BBC included) and the responsible newpapers (eg. The Guardian) - at least 7 total references are given over to that following. The Campaign itself seeks to introduce minimum criteria of Sustainability Credentials of all Key Appliances. Minimising fuel poverty, and eliminating early deaths from fuel poverty (potentially 5,000 per annum) that these appliances create out of 30,000 deaths in the UK in total - thats official, has to be socially fought. The environment and sustainability rules created will then hopefully apply across the board to many different devices.

This page should not be speedily deleted because jaamsim is one of the more active open source discrete event simulation packages in existence and has seen increasing amounts of use over the past few years. A recent article published in the Journal of Simulation noted that it had significant advantages over other previously developed open source software, I thought this was worth adding a page for it. I'm continuing to put an article together with further details, and would appreciate the time to flesh out the entry further before deletion.

Hello Velella
I just wonder you have nominated Dhananjay Acharya page for speedy deletion. He is a notable person. about his work published in many indian news papers and telecasted in Public tv Channel Karnataka. He did many things. wikipedia is for representation of uniqueness, celebrity, achievers, and notable persons. Whoever created page if person is a kind have proof of his work, then his work should be in wikipedia. wikipedia is a public property.and please note that before putting speedy deletion please check his work not author who created a page.
even many private companies in wikipedia PayTm. nothing they did, they just earning money. this guy invented many this for public. Please remove speedy deletion by considering proof of his work.

Hi,
As you may be aware the university was recently restructured from 4 faculties to 3. The former faculty of Medicine contained schools such as dentistry and pharmacy. However, the new faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health has a different structure, its largest divisions are termed 'schools', these being: School of Biological Sciences, School of Medicine and School of Health. As far as I'm aware the old schools that were within medicine are now downgraded to avoid the logical inconsistency of having "schools within schools". There may be some legacy webpages still calling the former schools 'schools'. Teaching and research are now more separated, there being 8 teaching 'subject areas' (e.g. pharmacy) and 9 'research 'domains' (e.g. 'cancer'). I work at the university and this is the situation as I understand it. http://www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/structure/faculties-schools/ Urselius (talk) 09:28, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Velella, Thank you for your feedback about the conflict of interest in us updating and fixing our page. I can certainly understand that desire for keeping conflict of interest clear. I have reverted all changes that I made to the previous version and added the appropriate tags for review and discussion. Please take a few minutes and let me know how we can best improve this article without directly editing it and kindly resolve the deletion request, I believe after having the changes I made reverted and our effort to only improve the content of the page (including the removal of advert content) the request is unjustified.

I'd just like to apologise for the edits I made on the Hunter Valley Grammar School page. I did not realise I violated the website's guidelines, by going to extreme lengths at making the page promotional. Would you be able to revert the changes you made to the template on the rightside of the page, as it is not promotional, and merely reflects the new logo, and more information about the school. If possible, could you check out Newcastle Grammar School's page, to see if that is promotional as well.

Hi Velella/Archives,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.
Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.
With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

We now have 820 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Dear Velella, thank you for the editing effort.

Dear Mr. Velella! I made an article Going Back (Buddy Guy & Junior Wells album), but for the first time I mistakenly simply titled as Buddy Guy & Junior Wells. When I was ended with that article, I noticed my mistake, so I made a new article, now I titled correctly "Going Back (Buddy Guy & Junior Wells album)", but yes, I copied the text from the previous article. So I think Going Back (Buddy Guy & Junior Wells album) is a correct article, and I wrote a new and correct text for the article Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, which I'd like to develop it in the future.

Hi Velella,
Thank you for the recent notification regarding my edit on the Water Framework Directive. I am not writing to dispute the revert. However, I think it is in good practice to provide a friendly clarification of why I made the edit.
Firstly, it was a minor edit, easy to revert. It was simply a link to another article that I felt was relevant, and I also took into consideration the fact that this article links to only two other articles.
Having read the article on the Water Framework Directive, I felt that it would be useful to have it linked to the Environmental Racism in Europe page, especially because many of the issues on said page are closely related to access to clean water and polluted waterways or groundwater. Further to this, the article references the Aarhus Convention.
I understand if editors feel that this article should be strictly environmental in focus. However, from my perspective, environmental issues are closely linked to social issues. Environmental racism is a subject where the social interacts with the ecological. So I felt it was constructive.
In any case, I won't involve myself any further in this--I think this is best left to the other contributors to decide what is best for this article. I just wanted to explain that this edit was made with the intention of being constructive.
Thanks, Sturgeontransformer (talk) 17:11, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

No worries, the article really was pretty futzing awful and might technically have been speediable as blatant advertising. I've done some repair work on it now, however. It's still not as substantive as I imagine it could become — I'd imagine they get quite a lot more coverage in the midsized Canadian Prairies markets, like Moose Jaw and Brandon and Thompson and Prince Albert, whose newspapers aren't in ProQuest's Canadian Newsstand database, and I had a lot of problems actually sourcing all the lineup changes (including conflicting claims about when Troy Westwood left the band...and yes, I do mean the football player) — but I've done what I can with the sources I have available to me.

We are writing you this message because there is great news: The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has finally passed a resolution stating that the Foundation is committed to seeking ways to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. Also, we have created a cool logo and found a nice name for the project which you can see on the right :-)
What's next?
Currently, we are working with Wikimedia Foundation staff to make sustainability a key priority for the selection of a new location for Wikimedia servers in Singapore. Also, we have presented the Wikimedia Foundation with a green energy roadmap to have all Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy by 2019.
Please help!
Let's keep this project moving forward – and there are several ways in which you can help:
If you have any questions, you can contact us on on Meta. Again, thank you very much for your support! --Aubrey und Gnom, 2 April 2017 —Preceding undated comment added 21:24, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Velella,
My friend and I are editing the Cycad article, adding more information. You have deleted everything we have done. I understand deleting the sentences and information that contain "as previously mentioned" because it is probably redundant and unnecessary in the article. However, we added many solid sections with solid sources, and yet you have deleted those too. Could you please tell us why you reverted all the edits so we can fix it and publish the information we have founded. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for the information! we are very new to the wiki world and thought we knew what we were doing, but will read more and do more training before making other edits. have a good day

How is my addition, which had 6 sources or so not cited — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitamindaughter (talk • contribs) 17:01, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
...and request edit. Did I do it correctly?
Thanks for your help!

I created a User:Douggollan page as you suggested
I think you posted "No Difference"
Right now the Jet Card page is out of date with at least one company that is out of business and a lot of incomplete, incorrect information -- What's the best way to get it updated? As an expert on the subject, I was trying to improve the content. Thanks! Doug

Thanks!!!
I'll try again -- I am a journalist so hopefully, the fact that some of the information is based on my published reporting and research is OK. I think Forbes.com should be a reputable source? There are a number of companies that have the "jet card" product that don't seem to have Wikipedia articles so I will cite either their webpages or references to the companies in other media (is that correct?) Thanks for the help -- I actually was turned on to the page by a jet card company who said it needed updating and since I do have the correct, factual information from my research, was trying to help! Again, thanks, Doug https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Velella&action=edit§ion=122#
Hello Velella, I have since updated the article "James Kavanagh (public figure)" since you contacted me. I added references where it seemed necessary but my page still has issues? If I can get some feedback on this issue that would be great.

Hello, and thank you for your significant contribution to wikipedia! I would like to ask you if you are interested in becoming admin, because I was thinking of nominating you .--Kostas20142 (talk) 12:54, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
Hey there, I just translated the portuguese page for Rita Batata and you flagged it for needing sources and verification for notability. However, it has a good dozen sources on it, so I'm wondering how you'd like me to improve that? She's a minor actress who has won a few rewards and starred in a few popular things, so I don't know how to prove further that she's notable? Trublucaribou (talk) 15:36, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
You deleted approximately 20 references I listed in this article from Bloomberg, the Financial Times, Forbes, The National, Gulf News, Arabian Business etc. I'm sure you didn't have bad intentions, but by doing so, you made the article significantly less credible.
For example, Bloomberg wrote an entire article that I referenced, detailing the purchase of a home in Emirates Hills by a particular resident and questioning the source of their funds. I'm not sure on what basis such a reference would be deleted.
Furthermore, most if not all, of the resident names listed are worthy of either their own Wiki page or a subsection under a family member's wiki page. As the Middle East has a smaller representation on Wikipedia than say North America, you'd be prejudicing an entire region by deleting names just because they don't have their own page... yet.

You reversed my first edit and requested that I add reliable and reputable sources. In turn, I made a second edit and added over 20 sources from publications such as Arabian Business, Bloomberg, Forbes, FT, and Gulf News. Following which, you reversed my second edit... and now claim that you didn't even check the credible references I added. If you didn't bother to look at the new references, then why would you reverse my edit again and delete them all? It's damaging to an article to remove information indiscriminately.

Our mutual friend User:Charlotte Crumpton/User:Josh bowen has said he will try to recreate the Charlotte Crumpton article. I have a gut feeling that it won't be any better than the original --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 19:56, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
So now the site can be "administrated" on gut feeling...brilliant. (unsigned by Charlotte Crumpton)
By you stating this, you must believe having a Wikipedia page dedicated to her achievements is worst than having sex, of which she is legally allowed to do...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Crumpton (talk • contribs) 20:07, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Then give me an example of a third party source you want...?
Not notable enough? Except for when you search her name followed by YouTube, ( which is her platform on which she is based) she comes up first on google? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Crumpton (talk • contribs) 20:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
And you have to be a person of some significance to appear first on any google search surely...?
And what if you search your real name, like hers? You come up then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Crumpton (talk • contribs) 20:24, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
That's because you're not notable enough for a Wikipedia page...you don't have over 5000 people that follow what ever it is that you do — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Crumpton (talk • contribs) 20:30, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Then give me an example of a third party source that you desperately want and I can provide one...?
So it is required that the person has to have been on the news? Nice one — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlotte Crumpton (talk • contribs) 20:40, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
