Hi there.. my name is Drew. I am very new to wiki. Every time I try to post something there seems to be a problem, so I must be doing something wrong. I am a big fan of Lewis Harrison and decided to put up a wiki for him. He has helped me change my life. It seems that I messed something up again, and the page is now scheduled for deletion. How can I fix the page so that is jives with wiki rules, and does not get deleted. It took DAYS for me to put all that info together. Please help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhiMedia (talk • contribs) 08:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Regenerative Thought Programming ALSO Deleted. Once again I have done SO MUCH research on Lewis's RTP theory. The page is full of sources and references. PLEASE HELP... I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Thanks. PhiMedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhiMedia (talk • contribs) 08:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Reply: With all due respect... the guy has written over 20 books. I only has one natural healing coach, and it was Lewis. What else am I supposed to write about? Everything else I am into is wiki'ed to death. I was searching through and was actualy surprised that Lewis was not already on wiki (most authors are). I still really have no idea what is wrong with the page.... I was as straight forward, and named as many people that he worked with that I could think of. I figured out fans of his teaching, writing would see the page an add and edit it. (I thought that is how wiki worked). *2*
So what you are saying is that in order for me to write a page about one of my fav authors and a man you taught me almost everything I know in one way or another... is to become a full time wiki addict and edit a bunch of pages? Sorry that just does not make sence to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhiMedia (talk • contribs) 00:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Reply: Did you actualy read the post? Lewis Harrison is a "life coach" and "business / spiritual mentor". After reading his books, I contacted him and payed him for many of his services. I don't know what is so hard to figure our about that. How is that so odd? And for the record, two people made edits to his page today. I sure if the page was to remain you would see my work added to, changed, improved on. That's why I put the page up. Period. If you are so sure that I am Lewis, or whatever your issue is... I have NO PROBLEM stepping out from behind my computer to make a long distance call to you my friend. I got your number off your website, I will give you a ring and we can clear this up if you wish. Just say the word.
As for the picture from Egypt, Lewis sent it to me in an email. I thought it was cool... and had never seen it on any of his sites or books and thought it was a nice picture to share with wiki. Is there something wrong with that TOO? danggg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.239.230.15 (talk) 20:13, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
And as for the RPT's... Lewis has taught that to 1,000's of people in his many Learning Annex classes he teaches in New York City. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.239.230.15 (talk) 20:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Your point is that you dislike the upbeat tone of the Wiki. Unless there is a way to express the achievements of a person without sounding positive then how does one do so. I am more than happy to discuss other ways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miroj (talk • contribs) 05:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I can think of dozens of Australians who deserve a Wiki and yet more Europeans. I don't ever see them waving a flag or taking about themselves. Someone has to come along and make those editorial comments as recognition.
Defining recognition as spam is something I find surprising. A) you need to be a car owner and b) you need to be a forum member. Then you pray and hope someone can solve your customisation problem. If you dont know Chip Foose then you are SOOL.
You need time for the forums to find this "spam" so they can contribute what they know. As already noted. Mbenznl has been in magazines several times. — Miroj (talk) 05:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
I dont work for an academic press and I don't write for a living. I support the case for people who have been reliable, consistent, humble and beyond the norm. I dont think many Wiki-names can fill those shoes. At some point in time you have the credibility. I dont think that having a global share of the Mercedes aftermarket and being a one man show is trivial. It is a massive achievement. It is a massive achievement in any field of endeavour. It would be like Bill Gates writing the software himself and selling it door-to-door and getting a substantial uptake in 30+ countries. You can't do that with BS. You can't do that with a bad idea.
Dare I say it, if you owned a Benz you would know what I am talking about. He is more all less one of those people who shuns publicity and would feel no worse off if it were deleted. There are probably two more atricles come out in the next two months on him. There are thousands (not hundreds) of photos of his work. I shudder when I think that Lara Bingle got a page ... truly sends a shiver down me. Miroj (talk) 06:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Is there any chance someone would like to illuminate the subject of internet famous versus tabloid infamous. I think it bears more discussion than first suggested. Miroj (talk) 08:59, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Article has been rephrased and rewritten. Does it offer a better standard or content ? Miroj (talk) 23:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
All you are doing is recycling Public Relations junk. A machine setup to fill newspapers and apparently, fill Wikipedia. I have come to my own conclusions about all of this. Needless to say that holding on to trash media in favour of technical mastery has spoken volumes. Sycophantic to say the least. Now if MBENZNL could send his story to dozens of media outlets then you would gobble it up like drinking camels at an oasis. The world has many artisans. How many do you think are on here by comparison. Miroj (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Nicely done. The article was deleted without posting a notice in my talk page. That concludes the correctness of Wikipedia procedure. Obviously one rule for everyone else. Miroj (talk) 01:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
hi im new to wiki edit can u please help the article i did will not be delted ? i dont know what wrong wite it.its the tredoku article and im not sure this is the right place to write about can u help me edit the tredoku page please thanks the web page is on now. you can also search amazon and see that the book is real and for sale can u remove it from AFD please ?
I have finally been able to find the time to put something together on the watercolor artist Roland Lee. I've got it in my sandbox. The bio and some of is fairly complete and accurate. I still need to add a bunch of citations and refrences, but I'm wondering if it is complete enough for me to post it as its own page so that I can get the author to take a look at (and hopefully approve) it. I would also like to see if he would be willing to contribute some thumbnail or low-resolution images of some of his more prominent works (especially those cited in the info box) that could be used in the article. Would you mind taking a look at it for me and letting me know whether or not it would be in bad form to put it up as is? Thanks. jmaes123 (talk) 07:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Roger, you asked me the following question a few months ago:
So, I've been looking into this, and it turns out that Neil Hadlock is the owner of a bronze foundry here in Utah. He most probably cast the statue that Mark deGraffenried sculpted, and this might explain why it was attributed to him.
I hope that helps! - jmaes123 (talk) 03:50, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible to open up the ChondroCelect ® page again please. I do not believe that blocking pages' content after short notification times does really help to have articles fit into wikipedia standards...

Very useful reply mr H! Thanks for contributing to the openness and accessibility of Wikipedia to newcomers... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.79.190 (talk • contribs)
I understand your point, but can't loose the impression that harsh interventions as those you perform are not the solution. I now see that my IP address has been banned from wikipedia, which means no person having access through my network is welcome to contribute anymore... You might have an other opinion on some of the pages edited from here and I agree that working through a double account is not wikipedia friendly (now that I start to know the site I start to understand the system), but I am deeply dissapointed to now be banned indefinitely from the platform for such minor infractions. I have in no case committed crimes on this site. Would you please be so kind to indicate me which procedure is to be followed in order to regain access to the site? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.79.190 (talk) 13:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
You sure on this one? I deleted it myself previously as a copyvio, but this is someone with records on a major label. The content sucks, sure, but it's gotta start somewhere. Friday (talk) 01:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
I was in the process of removing the tag. I believe the bot incorrectly tagged PD information; please see the talk page. chrylis (talk) 01:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
It was a typo in the header. I used ((afc t)) instead of ((afc top)). I did not notice it was a copy however deletion under vandalism was completely inappropriate. I feel the AFC was created in good faith. A redirect would have been fine and I have recreated the page. GtstrickyTalk or C 13:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
No, hopefully you and I are mature enough to figure this out. Here is the original contribution. Without a header and the correct formatting it made for a real mess. I was guessing based on the first sentence that the IP was going for Slovakian space team and based on their other edits that seems true. However I think a better wording would be Slovakian space agency (even though I am not sure one exists) as team seems to make people think of the actual astronauts. I found this which gives a little summary and this which seems to to show that Slovenia has joined the European Space Agency. I see nothing on that website although the word Svoboda is suspect. If you are really board you can read this powerpoint which seems to show that there is no budget or strong commitment from Slovenia which seems to contradict the IPs other edits. I put a note on the IPs talk page to come here and comment. I g7'd the redirect page. I did not revert any of the other edits they did. GtstrickyTalk or C 16:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Sorry that I didn't notify you when I removed your speedy tag from Greg Nelson (producer), I still had it on my TODO-list to investigate notability for myself—assuming that what he wrote on his page is true, that he significantly contributed to those Grammy-Award-Winning titles, he is probably notable. I guess I'll do so right away. :)

Hey, before you go around deleting articles, why don't you take a look at WHY that article ahs been created. We reached a consensus on the International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia talk page, under the Change Map section, that the article needs to be split up. That's why I created an article actually dedicated to the Recognition, as opposed to Reactions Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence. Can you please revert your deletes and moves? If you're unwilling to do that, can you at least leave it for a few days until the requested move goes through that will actually separate the original article into two? Feel free to ask me any questions, but really, check out that talk page. Deleting without warning, uncool.Yarilo2 (talk) 05:52, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
1) I thought about it, but decided you might be confused as to why the consensus would be there, so I thought writing it out might be better.
2) Strange, yes.
3) The article was considerably different - different picture, shorter quotes, etc. I'm talking about International Recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, not the one that was a copy-paste.
4) The renaming of the original article into Reactions is precisely so that we can incorporate the controversies article.
5) If I could move I would, but I can't (I think it's semiprotected), which is why I requested a move. Still, it doesn't give you a right to assume bad faith, and delete my article without either a speedy deletion, or a notification, or any looking into of any sort. I am sorry that this was my first move attempt with a semi-protect, but your actions were definitely lacking in communication and etiquette. -Yarilo2 (talk) 06:31, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I just noticed your redirect, why did you choose the Hottinger version (without u) to be predominant? De728631 (talk) 14:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
I've done some work on this page which is currently an AfD (and which you nominated for deletion). Nonsense though the science behind the topic almost certainly is, it does have some interesting history and might be saveable. Have a look at the reworked page and see if you think there's the basis for an article there - certainly not advertising now. Thanks Brammarb (talk) 20:24, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

hi there, I noticed that you had prodded Jaago foundation. I didn't want to remove your prod because you may be right, but I think this foundation is possibly notable but not in its current form - Jaago foundation is worldwide and most notable for its film making for Aids.

Here is a Reuters article on them. http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS176915+31-Jan-2008+PRN20080131 Not notable in its current form, but maybe in another form then?

Illinois Record Pool is an world reknowed record pool servicing the entire world. The label has no affiliation with them. • Gene93k said without warrant, or obviously never verifying anything that the label published those charts theirselves. Those charts came straight from these entities web site and can be easily searched online and anyone who takes this initiative can easily determine that HHN is not affiliated with them in any way.

Hi, not wanting to start an edit war over something like this, but you made Numerator(fraction) a redirect based on the idea that we already have a Numerator article. I reverted this, but then you unreverted. I find this particularly bothersome because you did not transfer any of the information in Numerator(fraction) over to Numerator when the former had much more information than the latter and the latter was about a different use of the word numerator. - Mrchapel0203 (talk) 00:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

HHN Records is notable, and I did prove that with independent Sources. I don't work for the label. I did it as a favor to them. I asked them if I could build a wikipedia page for them. How come this is the case now? This wasn't the case for the page to be terminated before. Then it was said the article lacked a secondary source, I posted links to other sources that were not from the label, but it was still terminated. Nobody even botherd to do their research. Also, I did not leave a message on your voice mail. GhostDog21 (talk 04:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for your time in deleting the wiki I attempted to post using myspace ( a similar business ) as an example for writing my wiki entry.

Could you please email me a copy (my email is registered) so that all the time I invested in writing isn't wasted and so that I can attempt to edit/adjust what was writen (along with verifiable links) to justify a second attempt?

Oh, side-note, it appears that by the standard of Refactoring Talk Pages that removal and editing of messages on User Talk pages is actually quite acceptable, and in fact recommended. I think there's too much emphasis on keeping material in User Talk pages such that harsh, mean, and uncomplimentary smudging is admitted and remains in User work environments partly due to bullying by those who present policy as including the untouched or intact condition of discussion therein, later even archived as such.
In fact, once the User has received the message intended for them by the original poster a removal of that message seems completely in order, and what is added to a User's Talk page and archived by them can and should be combed so as to remove uncouth and abrasive speech and tones, and keep Wikipedia a happy place.-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 15:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Your reason for deleting the article is now contradictory. You initially cited G4 as your reason, not references. The references listed are completely valid, each giving credible websites to support the facts of the article. This includes three news organization websites, an undisputed video clip and an international student organization website. Or perhaps you deleted the page before I could finish referencing everything in Anthony's article?
