Dear Steve, I am a bit concerned about the deletion of Ruth Crisp. I had thought it was clear in the article that she was a notable crossword compiler via the obits in the Guardian and Telegraph. Could you have another look and/or advise about how I might proceed if I wish to get the article back/reverse the speedy deletion? Do I go for a Deletion Review or can we have perhaps an Afd instead? Or would you like me just to make it again and add another ref eg Crowther, Jonathan (2006) Collins A to Z of Crosswords: Insight Into the Top Setters and Their Crosswords, Harper Collins, which has more biographical details see p72-74, p190 and Last word, Radio 4's weekly obituaries programme, Friday 2nd February 2007 16:00-16:30 Matthew Bannister discussed Ruth Crisp with Hugh Stephenson http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/lastword_2feb2007.shtml . These extra independent source indicating her notability as a top British crossword compiler would seem to make it even more likely that the article will survive any possible Afd. Best wishes :) (Msrasnw (talk) 15:58, 30 January 2013 (UTC))

Hi Steve,
I'm Eileen and I wrote to you earlier with regard to editing the "2012" section of the wiki page belonging to Singapore International Energy Week.
Can we know the status of that and if there's any help we can provide you with on our end? :)
Thanks!

Hi,
The article I created was tagged for copyvio and deleted while I was on vacation. All I can recall at this point was that I copied part of a paragraph from Aix-en-Provence#Museums_and_Libraries as well as translated part of the Fr: wiki ,which had to be reconciled with info on the museum's own website. Your edit summary left a clue, citing [1] but this is now a blank page. Would you mind userfying the deleted article so I can sort things out, or even having another look yourself? Sparafucil (talk) 01:07, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. :) Turns out this was a ((backwardscopy)) that was somewhat obscured by an article split that did not follow Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. We had the content before they did, just as Aix-en-Provence. I've done the necessary mop up at the article and its (now existant!) talk page, as well as at the talk page of the original. :) (More info on my talk page.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello Phantomsteve: I am hoping I can solicit your help related to the message thread below. I have been working with Wikipedia Admin support via email and can PM conversations in needed. I am seeking review to undelete Mindscape Band. It appears Malik made a revision to the appropriate name from Mindscape to Mindscape (Band) if I understand correctly. It sounds like there was an issue with references or information that was biased in nature. There is nothing for sale or indicating personal gain. The page was strictly meant to be informative to fans on history, reviews and band details. I am happy to correct it, if I understand what it is. I appreciate your help, I am a supported of Wikipedia and have no intentions of misleading or misdirecting anyone. I messaged your other talk and noted that you're not actively managing it daily. Thanks for your time. 23:30, 9 February 2013 (UTC)MindscapeBand (talk) 08:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)--MindscapeBand 08:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Mindscape Band was a redirect to a deleted article, titled Mindscape (band). That's why I deleted the page and described it as a "redirect to an invalid target". Perhaps you're wondering why User:Phantomsteve deleted Mindscape (band)? It's because the page was promotional in tone, more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. If you'd like to discuss the deletion of Mindscape (band), please contact User:Phantomsteve. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:43, 9 February 2013 (UTC) Hi. Thank you for your help. I have contacted User:Phantomsteve to assist and enlighten me to help address the issues. Anything incorrect was inadvertant and can be resolved. I appreciate you responding. - Scot — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mindscaperussia (talk • contribs) 23:19, 9 February 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mindscaperussia (talk • contribs)
Sorry, but there's an important 'and' in the reason on A9. Even if the album is a total failure clocking only two free downloads, but the artiste has an article here, A9 does not apply. Also, if the album tops the charts but the artiste doesn't have an article, the article stands. It's an AND gate not an OR gate. No prejudice against prod or AfD. CSD is limited - those aren't. (OK, they are - you wouldn't get far saying 'This should be deleted because my cat doesn't like the record'.) Peridon (talk) 23:27, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Simple cycle combustion turbine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page EIA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
