Hi, RHaworth. I am planning on creating a new Dr. Brenda Wade page that will have similar content, but will no longer be promotional. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Hi, RHaworth. It appears Special:Contributions/Skrunyak has returned as Special:Contributions/Uayoa and a few other WP:SPA accounts. I prodded the most problematic of his contribs, but someone mass reverted that after a discussion at WT:MILHIST. The [incorrect] inference of a manufacturer's citizenship based on his name is a tell-tale sign this is the same editor—compare Union Automatic Revolver with Storle machine gun, as is his creation of articles based solely on patents. He keeps doing that despite your warning to him [1] years ago. 86.121.18.17 (talk) 05:36, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
An account with interest in that area (automatic revolvers) was blocked by check-user User:AGK [2]. The same article was then edited by Special:Contributions/Uoayo; note name similarity with Uayoa. 86.121.18.17 (talk) 09:21, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

well done! Thank you for the help to delete Programming with Big Data in R (pbdR), but please keep Programming with Big Data in R alive. Wccsnow (talk) 02:23, 27 June 2013 (UTC) |
Would you mind to check the new version again? If this is still no evidence of notability, please let me know. I will do my best to edit this page. Wccsnow (talk) 02:23, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
I like high quality works and you did help. Currently, there are [1], [3], [14], and [27] in Programming with Big Data in R directly derived from the subject, and all others are either second or third sources in order to explain this subject in deep. This is not a novel idea in computer science, but is a different concept to current R and is confused to statistician and computer scientists due to different mechanism where I want to distinguish it and address that it is a better idea in future. I added, and please let me know where is insufficient. Wccsnow (talk) 15:40, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
I saw you deleted this photo for copy-vio, and I vaguely remember seeing it prior to deletion. Was that the same photo as file:Old School house Muesum circa1885.JPG. If so, that one also needs to be deleted and the uploader has many other files that are similarly edited (Special:ListFiles/Indietop20) if this one is older than the copy vio source, this may be the original location.

Hi. Just let me say you're generally a good admin and do thankless tasks that are very much appreciated. I know what it's like to be in customer support on a Friday afternoon when the same people ask the same questions again and again, and have to restrain myself from telling them to all to get stuffed, so I can see how you feel.
That said, please don't make this personal. Don't bring up Phil and DRV in every other discussion on your talk page just because lots of long-standing editors disagreed with you. It ends in tears. (Example 1) (Example 2) I'm not calling for your resignation and I'm not planning to post on the dramaboard. But you need to forget about other people seeing fault in what you do - just accept it happens, and if they chastise you for it, don't respond in kind. As Marcus Aurelius put it, "For with what art thou discontented? With the badness of men? Recall to thy mind this conclusion, that rational animals exist for one another, and that to endure is a part of justice, and that men do wrong involuntarily" ([3]) Happy editing.

Hello, I noted you deleted my page and that of my software product Jackdaw. We are a small UK software company which produce a really great rapid e-learning software product which I wrote about objectively, not stating anything but what it factually does - you are more than welcome to download and look at it yourself. The software has won global awards and was recently reviewed as the best rapid e-learning development software available. For this reason I felt the need to add it to wikipedia so it could be a reference within the rapid e-learning page in Wikipedia. I value the contribution editors make to Wikipedia but in this case I think you got it wrong. If there was something specific about the posting I am more than happy to review it but I do not want to waste my time if you are going to delete it again.

Spark Productions has just had a #84 hit with a cover of Avicii's Wake Me Up!. Normally I wouldn't bother creating articles for cover artists (and especially ones who haven't made the top 75 because the Official Chart Archive terminates at that point); on this occasion, however, could I see the deleted content?--Launchballer 19:19, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Good grief, horrible! Redirected. Just one very small thing, though; I tend to write my posts so that the header and the post reads as part of the same sentence for purposes of efficiency because I don't like repeating myself.--Launchballer 23:44, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I have a bit of a problem with a page move request. The issue is that User:Alex95-Ukraine wants to move FC Real Pharm Ovidiopol to FC Real Pharma Ovidiopol. I declined the request for two reasons: the official English logo for Real Pharm has its title as Pharm rather than Pharma and the previous attempts to move the page was reverted by another user because it didn't match the official logo spelling. Alex's reasoning is that the translations in another language come across as "Pharma" and that other Wikipedias use that title. I've tried to explain that naming conventions mean that we go by the official English translations and that what other Wikipedias use doesn't mean much here, but it's not really going so well- he keeps reverting my edit to the Pharma title. I've asked him to open up a move request on the page for FC Real Pharm Ovidiopol, since another user (not me, but another user) has objected to the earlier attempt to move, making this invalid as far as non-controversial moves go. Can you step in here? I feel that right now we're just butting heads. I've put in a request for assistance on the naming conventions page, but I wanted to get you to help as well since you're a little more used to intervening than I am and I think that a third person coming in would help a lot. I don't have any true objection to a move, just that there are several reasons as to why this should take place as a move proposal on the original article rather than a speedy move.

Hi, Would it be possible to get the text from the deleted article: Meytal Cohen? The article should conform to "Criteria for musicians and ensembles" but talking to the user that flagged it in the first place I have come to realize it actually didn't. Was very sure I added sourced and references regarding "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network." But come to realize that text was most likely not added at all. I apologize. (also misinterpreted the text regarding speedy removal (remove tag it if you intend to fix it) that's why i did that. also got that explained to me ) I would like access to the text if possible as I then will recreate the article, using a Wizard WP:Articles for creation and place in User space first, before I put it to the Article space. Then i can also have someone look at it before I move it and fix any errors I have double checked and my e-mail address is added under preferences, and allow e-mail from other users. JudaZuk (talk) 22:27, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Fixed (one again, confusing text. I get e-mails from Wikipedia, the check box for 'allow e-mail from other users' was checked, and you get the text "Change e-mail address", not Add e-mail address, indicating there already is one entered, just not shown in clear text for security reasons) My mistake, but added address now :) JudaZuk (talk) 06:22, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Dear RHaworth: This morning I have two messages from editors whose articles I nominated for deletion last evening. Neither of them have signed their posts and the signbot hasn't signed for them (see my talk page at User talk:Anne Delong). I also don't find any trace of these deletion nominations in my contributions. How can I find out who these people are to reply to them? Is it possible to get copies of the deleted text so that I will know what I am talking about when I reply? At least they both mentioned the name of the article, which is more than happens sometimes. —Anne Delong (talk) 13:26, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
FYI, this message won't get action — Legobot is a bot following its instructions properly. The target did get deleted; this is an IAR situation, not a bot-is-broken situation. Bot came back and retagged them, so I reverted it and added ((bots|deny=Legobot)) to all of them. Nyttend (talk) 02:20, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Re Roller skating at the 1987 Pan American Games. Hi, I hate to bother you, but I noticed you just speedily deleted what appears to be a NN page with possibly notable material. I was going to merge it, but there was an edit conflict. Because the newbie didn't do what he probably intended, I cut and pasted the content from the now-deleted onto the article linked above.

Please let me see the deleted text that you left me no access to after deleting it while ignoring my contesting explanation I wrote as per instructions in the Speedy Deletion tag
|
---|
Did you read my contesting of speedy deletion that I was asked to write and put time and effort into writing? If you did read it, could I hear what you have to say? If you did not read it, then why did you delete it so quickly? I would think someone (perhaps yourself?) could have at least written a reply/rebuttal of my defence of the article, which I am sure no one did, because I went back to check on it not long before I got the notice of it's deletion. I put effort into that article and into the contesting of it's deletion. A search tells me an administrator can access deleted article material. That's what I want, if you could be so kind. I linked the article so as not be described in your ambassadorial language as slovenly, but wait, the article has already been speedily deleted, what use was that? Certainly it looks like it still links somewhere, but that is because you didn't bother to notice the redirect article that goes to it. I suspect a redirect to an article was deleted for not being notable enough is decidedly less notable than the article to which it was redirecting. Come to think of it, I will have to go back and put in the redirect to the first incarnation of Fujishima stable so that it will lead somewhere, though people who are looking for the new Musashigawa stable that is making the news will likely be confused. FourTildes (talk) 12:40, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Update - I have already gone and found the place to ask for deleted material back. Just above where I had to make the request it read: "To contest deletions that have have already been discussed (in particular, at Articles for deletion), or that are likely to be controversial, please make a request at Wikipedia:Deletion review instead." The part that read "already discussed" was quite laughable, as if a discussion had taken place. If I don't get the material back that way, I kindly ask that you have it sent to me as you offered on your User page. Regards. FourTildes (talk) 13:11, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you and please be more careful and less condescending next time.

Thank you for giving me access to the deleted material and my defence of it. The reason I wrote the "do not delete rationale" was because that is what the speedy deletion tag advised me to do. It did not advise me to add more references to the article or in any way change the article. Just in case I didn't remember the advice correctly, I looked it up. The criteria for speedy deletion reads,"Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead click on the Click here to contest this speedy deletion button which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag. This button links to the discussion page with a pre-formatted area for the creator to explain why the page should not be deleted." I did not expect at this time that it would be completely ignored or of course I wouldn't have spent the time on it that you have now informed me was wasted. If you had read my explanation (which I highly doubt you did) you could have at least replied with the requisite advice of what I needed to do to improve the article before the fact (the deletion) and not after (your helpful little blurb above). The second part of your "advice" (for lack of a better word) suggests I should have spent more time adding references than writing the "above message". I wrote the above message AFTER you deleted it, as I no longer had any recourse to go back to the now non-existent article, which I thought I had properly defended as per the advice in the tag.
I appreciate your edits to the material I wrote. I missed the bolding of the stable name at the beginning. This was careless of me. It was a nice stylistic choice on your part adding "the" before the name of the stable, though the other 42 sumo stable articles written over the years by various editors do not use this convention, I will bear your "improvement" in mind. Yes, I see I misused *it's* in the article, thanks for that. Contrary to your summation of my knowledge of the difference, I did indeed learn long ago, and do indeed know the difference between *its* and *it's* but I accidentally misused it this time around. I will be more careful in future. At the very least, it gave you another chance to be condescending as you have done all through this talk page.FourTildes (talk) 21:19, 15 July 2013 (UTC) |
Your "advice" after the fact, said my time would have been better spent adding "more" references. Needing "more" references, or any references for that matter, is not criteria for speedy deletion and though I admit there are no notable wrestlers besides the founder at this point in time (not criteria that you yourself actually stated), I gave a very detailed defence of why it should be kept on the Talk page of the deleted article, which you ignored, and likely never read. I think you should revise your protocol. — FourTildes (talk) 03:38, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for cleaning up after me on Klemens Murańka. I made a complete hash out of trying to move that out of the userspace draft into article space and left a litter of useless redirects.

This was a descriptive article about an advertising agency, not advertising it at all. Please restore it and any others that you may have deleted in response to a disruptive editor's speedy deletion tagging of articles about some of the world's most notable advertising agencies. Any competent admin would block that editor rather that aid and abet him. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:42, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
I'm in no better position than you to answer that question - as far as I know the first time I saw that article was a few seconds before you deleted it. I could however see that it's far outside the speedy deletion criteria. You seem to be making a habit of this. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:51, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Recently you have deleted Arya (ancient Indian people), terming it as content fork of Indo-Aryan peoples.

Hello RHaworth, were you aware that this was contested for the reasons given on File talk:BDA airport logo.png when you deleted it? JGHowes talk 13:26, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
That really is not a very satisfactory answer, and does not explain why you ignored (or were you even aware of?) this was being contested. Four hours (the time interval between my creation of the Talk page contesting this matter and your deletion of it) is hardly enough time to "sort this matter out". When a Speedy is being contested, I'd suggest waiting at least 24 hours before deleting, to allow for the process to work. Otherwise, by the time others might wish to respond, it's already gone and Non-admins like Gold Wiz113 can't even view the deleted Talk page, much less discuss. JGHowes talk 19:02, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
I've removed the deletion tag from a few G13s because I think I can save them, and you've deleted them nonetheless after that. Since G13s can in fact be restored on request, my removal should be non-controversial. Since the times are close, I assume it was some sort of edit conflict, tho I do not see how that could happen. I will restore them as I work on them. DGG ( talk ) 16:12, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth,
My email is not so much of why you deleted my article, but it's more about how can I make it better... I am from East Africa and we don't have that many artists on Wikipedia so I am trying to start updating the world with what we have going on in East Africa. If you can still pull up my article and help me do it right or let me know what I should and should not do, I will greatly appreciate it sir.
I also have another article waiting for review, but I think I might have also wrote it the same way... Again, I am only here to learn and f you're willing to help me, I will send a pray your way and if not, i will still send a prayer your way, because I will eventually have to get it right one way or another.
Stay blessed

Didn't you notice that another admin had just reversed the speedy deletion of Cheveley Park Stud before you deleted it again? Does your incompetence have no bounds? Phil Bridger (talk) 21:11, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
It was with both of you. Aren't you supposed to check before deleting things? And please now sort out your further disruption that now makes it look as though I created the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:27, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
And now you're continuing with the disruption. Of course it's fucking ready for mainspace. Once I've calmed down a bit I'll think about starting an RFC about your adminship, because your actions have progressed from the merely grossly incompetent to the positively disruptive. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:41, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Mr. Stradivarius, admins are not supposed to get any special treatment here, so please do what you would do to any other editor when it is necessary to prevent such disruption. I erroneously moved User:Horseprev/sandbox to User:Cheveley Park Stud, forgetting to change the namespace, but then when I tried to move it to article space I found that he's even protected the title from creation. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:48, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
That is total bollocks. How many references do you expect to be added in the minute or two that you leave between your disruptive actions? And a book published by a university press is a far better source than anything you'll find by a web search. And notability criteria require that sources exist, something that would only take you a second or two to check. And perceived lack of notability is not a reason to remove articles from mainspace. You are very keen on admonishing brand new editors for not knowing the ins and outs of Wikipedia markup, but seem yourself, as an admin of many years standing, to be completely ignorant of the important thing here, i.e. building an encyclopedia rather than disrupting others' efforts to do so.
