From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Francs2000 | Talk 22:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is not nonsense. Masud Rahman is an exceptional physics prodigy, and has been identified by some of the leading authorities in Oxford University. His personal life has not been documented, and thus this aspect, which you seem to have incredulously deemed nonsense, is highly meritous in its content. Please refrain from criticising pages on this extensive encyclopædia that you have not personally heard of. 163.1.227.76 22:18, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This information is not verifiable on any independent reference anywhere outside what you have added yourself to (I have checked), the article was unenecylcopedic and did not even seek to address why the subject was notable. Therefore it met the criteria for speedy deletion. Vanity articles are not welcome here, neither is an earlier edit this evening from this IP, which added profanities to another page (check your own edit history). If you wish to add information about yourself to the Internet, purchase some web space. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 22:23, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I profusely apologise for the profanities on another page. A fellow post-graduate student decided to play a practical joke on me, due to my over-zealous promotion of the subject of that page. I do not know from which independent references you have attempted to verify the information, but they clearly are not of a suitably esoteric nature. I apologise if the content of the page is too ephemeral to be verified in the usual way. Furthermore, I am highly offended by your suggestion that this is a 'vanity article'. I am not Masud Rahman, and am not personally acquanited with him. I have merely come across his work in my capacity researching positron emission tomography at http://www.mstc.ox.ac.uk/rahman/, and found his work worthy of inclusion on this encyclopædia. 163.1.227.76 22:35, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Seeing that you have not replied to my latest comment, I have decided to put the 'Masud Rahman' page back on Wikipedia. If you have any objections to the page, please communicate them to me before peremptively removing the page. 163.1.227.76 23:02, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I was busy replying to an email. I got the impression that you were the subject concerned in the article because the content was similar to that found in vanity articles that appear with frightening regularity here. The very fact that I found just nine google hits for this name, not all of them for the same individual and the majority of them posted by the subject himself led to my opinion that this individual is not notable enough for this encyclopedia. I will not, however delete the article again - that doesn't mean that another admin will not do it themselves. If you insist on posting it to wikipedia the easy answer is to block you from editing (not preferred in my opinion) or open up the debate to other users through Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 23:06, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You may wish to view Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Masud Rahman at your leisure. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 23:20, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Can you provide a reference for this information please? -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 01:57, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/James Dodd

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page you will be blocked from editing. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 20:18, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As far as doing yourself and the Wikipedia community no benefit, I would have thought accusing others of racism and anti-Islamic statements where no such statements had been made is hardly beneficial to the community. As for the edit I had to fix, I am having difficulty understanding how the page can end up exactly as it did if your computer crashed half way through making an edit: if that were the case the edit would just have been lost, surely? All in all since you have made an appearance I have seen little evidence of any intellectual output whatsoever. As I am sure you would agree you are judged by your actions, and yours haven't been much to write home about. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 20:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cassandra Latham

You are more than willing to re-list it for deletion, however please be aware that since it passed vfd the last time around with a keep consensus (as you have discovered) the re-listing will likely be removed again without debate. Your actions are not showing you to be the upstanding member of the community that you are claiming to be. Please stop, or I will block you from editing. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 20:56, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In my opinion, that article shows as much merit as the James Dodd article you flagged for deletion, and as such should be open for discussion. I am intrigued and dismayed to find Wikipedians swayed by a couple of Google hits and a well known name, as I feel each article should be assessed according to it's merits, not the person who posted it. I also feel continually threatening me with a ban is not constructive. 163.1.227.76 21:03, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fine, relist it then. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 21:05, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am the true Masud Rahman. Clearly some of my "associates" here at Oxford find this sort of thing unbelievably hilarious. Francs2000 et al. I commend your efforts. -- Masud 00:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
