I looked up Robbie Glover. He doesn't seem to have produced anything for at least a year. That probably explains the absence of new sources since the last deletion. Is he still emailing everyone he can find to angle for an article? Guy (Help!) 18:49, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

I just noticed that this had been deleted due to an expired prod which I missed. Please could you restore this page per WP:REFUND. As I recall, I have worked upon the page and reckon it would be easy to do more. If nothing else, the topic could be merged with Telefonica of which it is a subsidiary. Andrew D.

Hi
I have just noticed the page on Saravah Soul has been deleted by you. The band was playing until 2012, when I came back to Brazil.
Here is a good reference on the band: http://www.tru-thoughts.co.uk/artists/saravah-soul Cheers Otto Nascarella2804:14D:5CD1:866A:F8FE:5B75:6107:95E3 (talk) 15:09, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bradley McIntosh, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robbie Glover. 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.

Glover tried for years to spam Wikipedia, and you just gave him what he wants. I cannot pretend to be anything other than revolted by his abuse of Wikipedia ofr self=promotion, and your enabling him is disappointing to say the least.

Hello Ronhjones, it is nice to meet you! My issue in A Dream of Fair Women was not the poem (which is in the public domain), but rather some sentences of analysis about the poem that appear to have been copied. For example, in this version of the page, I think the text "The reference is, of course, to the well-known story of Margaret Roper, the daughter of Sir Thomas More, who is said to have taken his head when he was executed and preserved it till her death" was copied from http://www.online-literature.com/tennyson/4071/, and in this version, the text "Both are visions and both have as their heroines illustrious women who were unfortunate" also appears to have been copied.
Being relatively new to the copyright game on Wikipedia, I defer to your judgment; do you think this is substantial enough to meet the "blatant" criteria in RD1? I don't want to waste administrators' time in the future if copying does not meet the "blatant"ness threshold. Thanks! /wiae /tlk 01:48, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

I've been looking at examples where indeffed userpages and talk pages are not blanked, and one admin has stated to me that the templates should be added only by an admin or clerk, although s/he could not point to any guidelines as such. We mentioned similar a long time back, referring to long-gone editors User talk:Ronhjones/Archive 29#When you get the time...inactive Users
From your perspective, the ever-swelling talk pages from Mediawiki messaging; from my perspective, a wikiproject with 20 active members, not 130-150 that the membership list suggests. After I had ruminated on it for a long time, when I followed your suggestion of contacting technical 13, I found this editor had been indeffed June 2015. Whereas I understand the need for records of article contribution history, I am unsure if there's any WMF rationale for keeping User page content?—Rocknrollmancer (talk) 03:05, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ronhjones,
It appears that an IP editor is being quite hostile (incl. using profanities directed at me on an article Talk page - at Amherstburg). I have reason to believe that the IP user (User:2607:FEA8:A29F:FDEE:B54F:395A:F584:4B07), is User:Hazen89, who was recently banned indefinitely for similar offences.
The reason I am contacting you specifically, is because according to the block log, you dealt with this issue/user before. I also posted a similar/copy message on the talk page of the other admin (User:Ohnoitsjamie) that helped you block this user.
Furthermore, (not sure if this should be a separate issue), the above user and another one (User:Meganesia) are reverting edits to several climate pages, without providing any sources backing their claims. The articles of issue are: Amherstburg and Humid subtropical climate, as well as the talk page of user User:Meganesia. In the dispute, I have provided several sources from a variety of universities and government orgs. supporting the -3C isotherm for the Cfa climate, while the opposing parties provided none, instead resorting to insulting my country of residence and myself.
It would be awesome if you could help look into this, and if you could request that the articles in question be protected, (if you believe it is necessary of course), and ask the other editor to act civil and discuss facts vs. opinions (or at least provide sources).
Thanks, --Therexbanner (talk) 06:48, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ron. I visited the FCA page to edit the Chrysler page, only to find the page is now protected ... by you. So instead of editing and then fighting about the edit afterwards I figured I would contact you first.
The Wikipedia page reads:
"FCA US LLC, also known as simply Chrysler (/ˈkraɪslər/), is an American automobile manufacturer headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan and owned by holding company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), headquartered in London, U.K."
Chrysler is no longer an "American" automobile manufacturer as it is owned by an Italian company Fiat which moved its registration to Netherlands for tax purposes. http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/2014/08/fiat_shareholders_approve_chry.html
Other foreign owned manufacturers building cars in the USA do not receive similar preferential treatment in Wikipedia. For instance, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. owns 4 manufacturing locations in the USA but Honda is not referred to as an "American" automobile manufacturer. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. appears as only a footnote in the main Honda article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda#US_sales
There are two articles in Wikipedia about Chrysler; one about the manufacturer and one about the brand. There is an argument that can be made that Chrysler is an American brand that is owned by the Italians. But there is no argument that can be made that FCA is an American manufacturer, otherwise Wikipedia should offer Honda, Toyota, BMW, Daimler and the 6 other foreign owned automobile manufacturers who build cars in the USA the same preferential treatment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automotive_assembly_plants_in_the_United_States#See_also
The reality is Fiat in Italy wholly acquired Chrysler on January 21, 2014. http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/driveon/2014/01/21/done-deal-fiat-now-owns-all-of-chrysler/4718529/ Then set up Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV in Netherlands with a physical home in ... Britain! For tax purposes. http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/2014/01/chrysler_fiat_become_fiat_chry.html
That is like me putting the headquarters of a company in the Cayman Islands, for tax purposes. That doesn't mean ANYTHING is in the Cayman Islands except an empty office. I haven't figured out just what FCA has in Britain, but it definitely does NOT have 22 executives Wikipedia says it has there: "Many executives of the 22-member leadership team, including Marchionne, have worked between Auburn Hills and Italy for years." That certainly does NOT mean those 22 people are now located in London. See the article cited by Wikipedia here: http://www.mlive.com/auto/index.ssf/2014/08/fiat_shareholders_approve_chry.html
It seems that FCA is doing a really good job managing the corporate image of FCA to turn it from an Italian company into an " "Italian-American multinational corporation" see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles
Specifically, the chairman of FCA is John Elkann who is ... Italian, and a direct descendant of Giovanni Agnelli, the founder of Fiat. Elkann is the chairman of 3 companies: Giovanni Agnelli Co., Exor and FCA. Giovanni Agnelli Co.holds 51.39% of Exor. Exor owns 29.19% of FCA and controls a 44.31% voting interest in FCA. All very Italian. Only 25% of FCA is owned by shareholders with USA addresses, meaning a vast majority (somewhere near 75%) are controlled by Italians. http://2014annualreport.fcagroup.com/en/report-operations/major-shareholders
In reality FCA is a company owned by Italians, controlled by Italians and to most people should be called an Italian company. A company owned by Italians, run by Italians is an Italian company, it doesn't matter what country a business is located in. Regardless of where the business registration (Netherlands) or corporate headquarters (London) are situated, or if it has a big subsidiary in the USA (Chrysler), FIAT is still an Italian company.
Charliep8 (talk) 04:33, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
It seems FCA is doing a really good job Managing their Wikipedia presence, much to the chagrin of other USA based manufacturers. Because of Wikipedia pages which were left over from before Fiat's acquisition of Chrysler when both were independent companies FCA has no less than FIVE (5) pages describing their company covering basically the same information:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Chrysler_Automobiles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCA_Italy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_%28brand%29
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Automobiles
It seems that at minimum the first 2 entries could be combined, and probably the first three entries could be combined. That may be more than I wanted to bite off right now. My proposed change would be to the Chrysler article changing it from:
FCA US LLC, also known as simply Chrysler (/ˈkraɪslər/), is an American automobile manufacturer headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan and owned by holding company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), headquartered in London, U.K.[4] Chrysler is one of the "Big Three" American automobile manufacturers. It sells vehicles worldwide under its flagship Chrysler brand, as well as the Dodge, Jeep, and Ram Trucks.
TO:
FCA US LLC, is the USA subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles BV, an Italian controlled automobile company registered in the Netherlands with headquarters in London, UK for tax purposes. FCA US LLC has its headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan and its vehicles are sold worldwide under the brands Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Ram and Maserati.
Charliep8 (talk) 04:33, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Okay, I made some changes. I left in that FCA US is one of the Big 3 even though the definition of the Big 3 is evolving since FCA US is no longer a USA automobile company.
There is a problem which I don't know how to fix. Right now FCA US is forwarding to Chrysler instead of the other way around:
Chrysler From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Redirected from FCA US
The title of the page should be changed to FCA US since Chrysler as a company doesn't exist any longer. Chrysler is a brand which has its own page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_%28brand%29
Note this has already been done for FCA Italy (formerly FIAT) but for some reason Chrysler was not corrected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCA_Italy
Can you make the change so the page will be titled:
FCA US From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Redirected from Chrysler

Gooday Ron - could you have a look at this File:Illustrated map of Peel, Isle of Man. Created May 2016 by Alice Quayle.jpg.
Concerns are creator's name appearing in the filename, creator's name appearing in the illustration, copyright logo appearing in the illustration, and WP being used for advertising (?) the creator's name as a media professional (LinkedIn).
I've been sitting on this editor for nearly a year, has two identities (can both be seen in this article history, U:AliceQuayle and U:Sunshineramsey, but both were mostly dormant, now a flurry of commentary-style prose changes to local (Isle of Man) articles from Sunshineramsey.

Hi there! I have been involved in editing content regarding the Living Wage movement in the United Kingdom, and have come across a few redlinks for the Living Wage Foundation. I've looked into setting up a page for the organisation, but I've noticed that a previous article with that name was speedily deleted a few years ago. I'd like to ask if you're of the opinion that it would be an unsuitable subject for an article, or whether it was the quality of the previous article that was at fault and hence that it would be appropriate for me to create a new article on the subject. I'm not an admin, so I presume that I can't check up on the old article's text to see what it was like. The two reasons given are copyright infringement and lack of demonstrated significance. Given the frequency with which the organisation gets referred to in the news and academic press, I would have thought a case for significance could probably be made. What do you think? Yours Polly Tunnel (talk) 13:52, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Can I just check that we're confident that this correction of a spelling per OTRS "copies of official documents" isn't a hoax? (I don't have OTRS access myself.) There was some weirdness (mentioned at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed Banayoti) of various IPs and SPAs insisting that Aisha's husband was the Canadian defence contractor "Ed Banayoti" rather than "Ashraf Banayotti" and/or that they separated a month later. One account claimed to be Ed Banayoti, explained that the Royal Court announcement itself had a typo on it, and offered to send us his passport and wedding photos. If the OTRS is from that same person, it seems very odd that a member of the Jordanian royal family is concerned enough to send his passport to Wikipedia, but unable to get the Jordan Times to run any kind of correction. --McGeddon (talk) 11:31, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello, in January 2011 you permanently semi-protected this page, as there was a lot of vandalism due to an upcoming transfer.
However, I think now could be a good time to remove all protection. That particular transfer has passed, and Sammon is now a rather low-profile player. In my time editing football pages I have noticed that IPs are generally helpful for trivial and ephemeral details like updating statistics. If you compare the page history for Sammon and for his strike partner Robbie Muirhead, you can see the difference.
In short, as you know, pages are protected to save the time of established users, and to protect living people from harm to their reputation. There is no ongoing event that would cause vandalism here. I do not see that there would be much to lose to unprotect this page, and I see there is at least something to earn.
Yours, '''tAD''' (talk) 21:39, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Just so you understand the situation. This is a new editor who has created dozens of articles that have had to be deleted or redirected. He has made improper articles and articles that already exist. His article List of WTA Tour players by career match wins is one such article that is about to be deleted and I assume he really wanted to put this draft article in his sandbox for some reason. Instead he made a draft article which is why I asked for a speedy deletion. I hope that helps clarify my reasoning. Fyunck(click) (talk) 00:19, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Ronhjones,
The world of Wikipedia article creation and editing is new to me. Apologies for the copyright violation for the uploaded image Michael B. Bracken.jpg. The image came from my own camera work (on a Nikon Coolpix L26) for Professor Bracken's book insert (Risk, Chance, and Causation: Investigating the Origins of Disease, 2013, Yale University Press).
Which copyright option should I choose for this image? Or should I upload a different image for review?
In addition, I uploaded 3 other images for Professor Bracken's Wikipedia article (which I'm still editing and drafting). The images are book covers, of each of his published books. What information do I need to know to select the correct copyright category/type per Wikipedia guidelines?

Hello,
I see you recently speedily deleted the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command Article. This was done under G12. I'm not sure it meets the criteria. Many military articles use primary sources, and this one does, but this article is not a direct copy of the site listed here:[4] though I see that large portions do appear to be from the article sources. In addition, there appears to be some credibility to a fair use claim, because the original sources are works of the federal government. Finally the article is salvageable, and could be re-written with additional data from additional sources. Sephiroth storm (talk) 04:39, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Ronhjones. Now that tour dates have been announced for Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman Tour, would you kindly unprotect the page so that it can be edited? Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:10, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
You speedily-deleted this in spite of it being an established nickname for Adrian Neville. This is a phrase televised on the WWE NXT program which Neville consented to be on.
I would also argue that it's not an attack on him because it doesn't actually accuse him of being presently not good-looking. You can be born plain-looking and then build a fabulous physique with hard work and become good-looking over time, as he has. Ranze (talk) 04:38, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
It wasn't unreferenced, it comes from an episode of WWE NXT in January 2014, it is a nickname invented by Tyler Breeze to play on his preceding "The Man Gravity Forgot" moniker. I expected people to question the veracity of that claim which is why I included this link to a clip where you can listen to it yourself.
Specifically it is from the 83rd episode which aired January 15th 2014 and was taped November 21st 2013. Spoken before Neville defeated Breeze in the first (non-dark) match of the night.
People have a habit of deleting reliably sourced nicknames from pages of wrestlers they like if they don't like the nickname. The usual excuse is a lack of notability or something.
I believe that a redirect has a lower notability requirement than displaying a nickname though. We redirect plausible typos but do not list plausible typos on pages. So we should also be able to redirect a reliably sourced nickname like this one even if there is not consensus that it is important enough to mention on the page, because it is still useful to know who Tyler was talking about for those who only saw his end-monologue.
Scripted attacks against wrestling characters (Adrian Neville) are not actual personal attacks against a real person (Benjamin Satterley). The character Big Show for example has the nickname "Big Nasty Bastard" on his article, which is clearly more insulting than saying someone wasn't born good-looking. It's okay to do that though, because Big Show is merely a character, so calling the character a "Bastard" does not violate BLP concerns against Paul Wight, the athlete who portrays that character.

Hello, Ronhjones. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
Ron,
Just touching base about your good contribution to Double-Entry Bookkeeping.
Ya done good, kid. Greensburger doesn't have the first clue, and the others on the page, while not exactly machine-gunning the joint with arrant stupidity, still manage to bring an ignorance and prissiness that they think of as probity to the whole thing.
The article as it stands right now is superb. Measured, thoughtful, balanced, and accurate.
The people who want to "improve" the accounting equation, the equality of debits and credits, into wedding cakes of their own icing are a menace. Their cheeping about the Traditional Method is the reason Dunning-Kruger made it to my header. People of their type are the reason the Big Eight accounting firms are now the Big Three -- and why the Big Three are still a major menace to the commercial sector of civilisation.
Keep on keepin' on. Vienna stood in 1683. The Few held up in 1940. Keep your hand on the plough, hold on.

Hi Ron. I wanted to let you know I extended the 31 hour block you gave to 184.88.24.214 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) to a month. He came off of a one week block for disruption just a few days ago and went right back to doing what he was before. I'm assuming you weren't aware of that, given his blanking of his talk page. Please let me know if this was not the case and you'd prefer a different block length. Cheers! ~ Rob13Talk 00:53, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
A page you deleted in July, Ivan Vujica now warrants re-creation I believe. The player made his debut in the A-League today (satisfying WP:NFOOTBALL) (source) and has also had a reasonable amount of media coverage in the intervening months.

You recently blocked User_talk:Starstar33. You may want to do a sock puppet check, because those are the same set of pages with the same edits that this other guy uses. He's been blocked on many names and ip addresses, the only name I remember is User_talk:JT_Country_Pop
Hello! Being new to this, I'm wondering if you could help me out. I submitted an article for approval, but it notes that the article was deleted and, not being familiar with the lingo, am just wondering why and how to fix it. The notices are as follows:

Hello. Bhiwani district, which you protected after I filed a report at AIV, is only one of several articles the IP-hopper has been repeatedly hitting. If there's going to be any point in protecting instead of blocking, then Haryana, History of Haryana and Bhiwani also need protection.

Hi Ron, are you still an admin?
There's a disruptive IP (103.47.135.72) running around the motorsport articles, and I reported them to AIV. However, I don't think that I did it properly - I can't really remember how to in the case of IPs - and no further action was taken. Here is an example of their handiwork; they're adding content from a video game to articles about real-life championships. They first popped up at 2017 World Rally Championship, and I got temporary protection put in place, but as soon as it was protected, they went elsewhere.
Could you please look into it? Prisonermonkeys (talk) 05:09, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ronhjones,
I would like to ask you why a page on Nadeem Sarwar was deleted as I would like to see him on Wikipedia. He is a renowned name in Urdu reciting & has a huge fan following in Pakistan & India. His YouTube has so far fetched around 50m views in the past 6 years.
Please do respond. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rizvi.zuhair (talk • contribs) 01:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
Dear Ronhjones,
Why did you delete CopyQ given that other clipboard manager also have a page?
Thanks!

This article was occasionally vandalized, but the level of vandalism may not have been that high to justify semi-protection. Also, the article is less visited. Can you downgrade protection to PC? --George Ho (talk) 02:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
No disrespect, but did you read it? It is not the basis for an article but rather a request for financing for a very dubious project. He's a meth user and stated as much on his userpage, which I also reverted.John from Idegon (talk) 01:06, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
