What the hell? Why did you delete "It has a price" and say that I am making this up? I'm sorry if I have to say that but why? That is not a reason! I am not making this up... If you want me to act like you I will: What will happen if I contact Wikipedia about it? Hmmm? Your job? What will happen? I wonder... Please either reverse it or reply... on my user talk... Thanks... riturmin (TALK) 18:35, 28 July 2008 (CT)

Hi Redvers, I saw that you removed a lot of the content on the page i made for Martinus Nijhoff Publishers - i'd like to ask why? I'm not spamming - i actually work for the company, and as marketing manager i was asked to make an official page for the brand. I would like to ask you to please reverse what you have done. thank you - Dagmar Vermeer--194.151.246.130 (talk) 06:26, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
HI Redvers, Of course, Wikipedia was set up as a non-profit making, information sharing site. Point understood about the sales language, (could you care to clarify exactly where the language became in anyway sales orientated and I’ll try to stick to your guidelines). However I’m sure you will agree that the information on the site has to be correct and giving a non-impartial, balanced view of the subject in hand.
With this in mind we’re looking to clean up the Brill Publisher pages (appertaining to Brill Publishers, and it’s imprints Martinus Nijhoff and Hotei Publishers). And, as they stand now, these pages contain factual errors and misleading information which we wish to rectify and which I’m sure Wikipedia, as a database for impartial and correct information, would be happy to see rectified.
Obviously we don’t want to step on your toes but we do feel that we can work this out together.. A final thing. Regarding your sentence, “Placing a free advertisement with lots of sales language, dozens of links to your website and photos of your products is, in effect, stealing from a charity”. could you care to clarify precisely how this relates to the Nijhoff (and Brill) pages? --194.151.246.130 (talk) 09:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Redvers thanks for the detailed information. I see where you are coming from with respect to the language used. I'll make sure to keep it as encyclopaedic as possible. It really was my intention to use this page solely to inform people of my company - not persee to advertize for it. The other pages on the Brill Publishers wiki page will be updated as well - is there a way i can get rid of the "warnings" on the martinus nijhoff page?.. again thanks for your help - i appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. --194.151.246.130 (talk) 11:28, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

G'day,
I am trying to document the venues and bands that make up the Sydney Trad Jazz scene but you keep deleting my stuff with little notice and not alot of explanation as to why. I have no commercial relationship with any of these bands, musicians or venues and have done my best to ensure that those musicians I have covered so far are in fact notable as per the guidelines, I have noted the criteria that allows there inclusion on the discussion pages as per the guidelines along with notes pointing out my intention to expand the articles in the near future yet you and other admins just delete them. Where explanation is given no time is given to rectify any problems.
Why is this so? Is there something intrinsically evil about Australia jazz that it should be deleted on sight? Should I just give up and not try to document what I believe to be a culturally significant phenomina?
Disenchantedly Yours,

Thanks it does help somewhat, and I appreciate you taking the time to explain what happen from "AdminSide" although I was in the process of going back to remove the reference to the showtimes (the advertising) and add references to press and radio interviews which as far as I can determine would have satisfied the notability requirement when I found them deleted - having now been though this "ordeal" I think preparing & editing the artcles in entirety offline first instead of building them piecemeal online may have avoided the problem alternatively a little leeway time wise from the admins to allow for corrective action to be taken would have also been helpful and resulted in alot less stress for me (having already had one heart attack in my life I could have done without that extra stress).
Can I respectfully suggest a little more time be allowed for corrective editing to take place before summary deletion - surely 24 hours to fix a problem would not be un reasonable, particulary when a hang on tag has been posted.
Anyway enuf sed, I'll toddle off and prepare some more substantial articles offline and thanks again for taking the time to respond.
Regards,

Redvers what you say is not entirely true, I read the guidelines, placed hang on tags and ascerted notability on each of the pages and notated the talk pages with my intention to add more detail. I suspect no one bothered to follow the procedure and read those notes prior to redeleting those articles. Having read your comments above regarding posting images to commons I believe you are working with double standards. As best I can make out my only real error was to make mention of the bands playing times and I am not entirely convinced that such information could not be considered relevant to an article about actively working musicians however I was prepared to remove it, only you deleted it before I could. As for my suggestion about allowing 24 hours to rectify problems I can see no problem with also quarantining such material during the "rectification period" so it could only be viewed and edited by the author and admins.

Dear Redvers,
I'm totally new at wikipedia. I have been writing a page about a new company that me and some other people are setting up in the US and the Netherlands, called OneCleanWorld. I've posted it twice now but have found out it was taken away because of, I believe, advertising. I would like to know how I could post something about this company without it being advertising. I just want to say what our goals are (partly for-profit/ partly non-for-profit) and what we're about. Could you please let me know what you think is wrong and how I could put something up... Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocwbenno (talk • contribs)
I noticed that you warned the above user for his violations of our image use policy. He has, as with all the other disruption warnings on his talk page, ignored them and continued his behavior. I'm thinking that sterner warnings, or even a block, may be in order, as copyvios are, of course, far more serious forms of disruption. I would block myself, but I want to go through and check the images to make certain that they are violations (even though absence of sourcing is bad enough). In any case, I thought I'd let you know, in case you had an opinion, or are more forgiving than I am. Cheers, CP 04:08, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
I notice your signature had a backwards R in it. How did you make it backwards? My User name is Tm93. I was thinking about maybe turning the T upside down. Is this possible? Thanks and Happy Editing Tm93 TALK 07:44, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank You. I think I've got it. Do I use the same site to reverse it? Like you did with the ER (ƎЯ). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tm93 (talk • contribs)

Hi, you'd deleted it earlier... here, but it seems to be back. I'm not sure, if it should be deleted again. ChiragPatnaik (talk) 07:26, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Can you please look over the article Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, theres some edit warring going on between 2 IPs. I believe one (98.197.XX) is adding unsourced info to the BLP and i thought it would be best for an admin to takeover, i think it needs a block.

Strange, it looks like you deleted the user OsirisV a few hours ago, but his page is up, his history is intact, and he's spamming now. I just requested speedy deletion for his new page, Halo - Interactive Strategy Game. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:55, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Right now I can search for the most ridiculous, obscene and completely useless information on Wikipedia, yet you found it necessary to delete an article I created regarding an upcoming album that I happen to have intimate knowledge about (I am co-engineering it, among other things.) I was in the middle of adding more sources (MySpace links, for the most part), if thats what this is about. Aside from Sinister's MySpace and homepage links, there are no other sources I can provide at this time (aside from MySpace links, that I was about to add, for all the contributing artists I listed.) Email me at lbjkingjames23@gmail.com regarding this issue
