Following your comments on the George Formby talkpage, anything you'd like to add here? --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:14, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Good call on making the disambiguation page for the term "Transformers Universe". As you may have seen by now, I moved the page from Transformers Universe (disambiguation) to Transformers Universe. Transformers Universe used to redirect to Transformers: Universe, but it didn't seem like that was the primary topic for the term, and in that case, the disambiguation page gets the privilege of existing simply at "Term", with no "(disambiguation)" needed. I don't think there's anything further to be done, and you probably could have gleaned what I did from the edit summaries, but I just wanted to let you know. -- Natalya 18:26, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
What have you done to the Transformers Universe/Transformers Online articles? You've apparently mixed and matched bits of both articles and ended up with an infobox for an article that is completely unrelated, as well as apparently deleted all of my work apart from the infobox.

Talk:Richard Reid (shoe bomber) got left behind after the move. Marcus Qwertyus 02:50, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
I simply believe that it plain and simple that bogus accusations of WP:POINT (namely, the characterization of my having filed the Camel toe AfD as an illicit campaign) OUGHT to be brought to the appropriate forum and sorted out, to avoid such false accusations from being bandied about as a bullying tactic to stifle debate--since, of course, by any reading at all of best wp:EDITing practices on Wikipedia, what most definately is helpful to the project is to debate various interpretations of the guidelines offered in good faith, as, of course, it is exactly just these types of debates that establlish what the current editing consensus on Wikipedia should be thought to be. Further, 'tis the vio of Assuming Good Faith and the clogging up of discussions with commentary about other editors that is not in line with WP's most basic policies. (I also posted on this question here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Why_is_it_OK_to_.22emptily.22_accuse_good_faith_AfD.27s_as.2C_quote.2C_pointy.2C_unquote.28.3F.3F.3F.3F.21.21.3F.3F.3F.29.)--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 15:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
As I have said at the AFD [1], I'm not acting as an admin there.
I was acting as an admin in closing the latest RM [2]. Although no admin powers were required, it's clearly a controversial request so non-admin closure would not have been appropriate. In hindsight I still think that a good decision, the RM hadn't a chance and we needed to move on. But my assessment of rough consensus is in hindsight borderline, and I wouldn't have been happy to close it as no consensus, although that would have had the same practical result.
By my subsequent involvement I have quite knowingly disqualified myself from further admin action in this dispute. I hope this is a good decision too. We will see. Andrewa (talk) 21:44, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
It's gone a bit quiet now since my last comment at ANI. Hopefully... Andrewa (talk) 20:44, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
As I see it, you don't think Wikipedia should have an article on camel toe, and so you have in a short period of time raised two RMs and two AFDs to try to either change the topic to something else or delete the article completely. All four have failed, and there is no suggestion that any of them had any chance of success. There's a clear consensus that the topic should stay.
You've had a fifth try by flagging the article as a dicdef, which it clearly is not.
In the process, others have accused you of various violations of Wikipedia guidelines, and you've responded in kind. I don't propose to try to judge any of these individually, just to say that in my view some and not all charges are valid on both sides, nearly all and perhaps all so far are trivial, and that's typical for this sort of dispute.
And there's a very real danger of more serious transgressions on both sides if the dispute continues.
My strong advice is to simply drop it. Your appeal to the admin noticeboard seems likely to fail. Let that be the end of it.
Or better still, remove the ridiculous dicdef tag. Andrewa (talk) 22:18, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
--in this case, we have a wolfpack of editors alleging me to have been conducting some kind of campaign due to my personal preferences and therefore having been guilty of violating wp:POINT. If that makes for a so-called consensus, despite there being no detailed explanation backing up this claim, then such consensus is meaningless. That's why we have ANI. These points (pardon the pun) should have been hashed out there and not on the discussion pages themselves IMO.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 16:33, 27 June 2011 (UTC)"Sometimes editors will undo a change, justifying their revert merely by saying that there is 'no consensus' for the change, or by simply asking the original editor to 'first discuss'. Except possibly on pages that describe long-standing Wikipedia policy, this is not very helpful. After all, that you reverted the edit already shows that there is no consensus."' "[¶ ... ¶ ... ¶ ...]"
Hey, regarding the underlying content (or perhaps I should say process) issues, though, one thing I did do a little research on was how common of a practice it is for pages that have been closed as Delete to then become redirects; and it turns out that when the wp:REDIRECT guidelines would call for there being a redirect, the same are regularly created at pages that were deleted by AfD (where I suppose these issues may or may not have been fully addressed in the discussion, after all). E/g, the AfD for the article "Malia Obama" was closed as a Speedy delete by user:Avraham on 2 May 2008 and was also turned by user:JoshuaZ into a redirect to the "Family of Barack Obama" article on the very same day. As another example, I went to the deletion log page for exactly a month ago (June 2) and the second AfD listed is for "Patrick Smith (columnist)," which was deleted on 11 June by user:Lankiveil and turned into a redirect to "Salon.com" on the same day by user:Off2riorob.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 17:29, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
The split [1] [2] just yesterday was IMO completely unjustifiable in view of the ongoing controversy above.
I might also point out that your work, while excellent (and that in the literal sense of above average to the point where very little surpasses it) is not perfect. Specifically, your choice of title for magneto (generator) seems a little odd, see my latest post to Talk:Magneto#Content forks. Andrewa (talk) 23:02, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.
To avoid concerns that this notice might violate WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page (or either page's respective talk page) since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie (talk) 20:49, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Andrew - Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you can provide advice regarding a company name change (Corero) that has led to a proposed deletion. I read the company notability guidelines and the company, now publicly held, appears to meet them in terms of 'significant coverage in reliable independent secondary sources (Forbes, Network World, SC Magazine, USA Today, New England Cable News TV clip etc).' However, the editors may not feel this is the case depending on their specific criteria.
That said, the company made the error, purely accidentally as they did not realize updating their profile was not permitted, of updating the page with factual not promotional information. They then reached out to Wikipedia via a discussion board to move the page to the new company name. Is there a way within Wikipedia's guidelines to demonstrate based on the third party sources and 'significant coverage' to show that the page deserves not to be deleted? Again, the company now understands that editing the page is in contravention to Wikipedia guidelines and would not do so moving forward. If you could advise me on how to move forward to avoid deletion, if that is possible, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance. AimeeRhodes (talk) 19:18, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

I am uncertain if this suffices in terms of notability. If you think it does and there is a process that needs to be followed to prevent the deletion please do let me know. In any case, thank you very much for your assistance. Best, AimeeRhodes (talk) 01:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Andrew - Apologies for inundating you with messages. Looks like the deletion was stopped. I imagine you looked into this and deemed it noteworthy and removed the deletion. Again, thank you very much for you guidance. AimeeRhodes (talk) 01:41, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Andrew, Erik --
Thanks, you are right Erik -- it is Corero Network Security. The deletion was removed, not by me. You are both very helpful. This is not easy to navigate.
Thanks again. AimeeRhodes (talk) 15:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Andrew - I hope you had a nice weekend. Sorry to belabor this subject but I just saw that the Corero Network Security page is again up for deletion. Did the links I provide, based on your experience, constitute enough third party validation per Wikipedia's guidelines? If so, do you recommend that they be posted to avert the deletion?

A tag has been placed on Etix, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.
If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion (((db-...))

Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DASHBot (talk) 06:02, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Trem.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Looking at Talk:Córdoba Province (Argentina)#Requested move, I notice that you are one of the most active contributors in that discussion. You've also engaged at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2012/March#First-level administrative subdivisions for countries. I was checking WP:RM to see if there was some old case that I could close, and I noticed this one. If we just go by what is currently stated in the discussion, my guess is that the move request would fail with no consensus. One problem which I see is that, even on a DAB page like Colón Department, you can see both the comma style and the parenthesis style in use. It's especially fun that there are two different Colón Departments even within Argentina! So if this move request goes through, would you suggest that others should go around fixing up other names of South American geographical subdivisions?

Dear Andrewa,
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, were 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:
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.
Sincerely,

This particular link is deliberate, as the correct article is a redlink and likely to remain so for a while at the current level of activity on related articles. The DAB at least provides one line of information, which if created as an article would be a dicdef and deletable. The article should be created in time, but perhaps not soon.

Replies from both on their talk pages, a gracious apology from Barts1a [13] and a curt referral to WP:ANI from Salvio giuliano [14], who has similarly replied to another similar complaint. Andrewa (talk) 21:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
