You're right, it's not a copyvio anymore. I acted too hastily. By the way, you sign your comments by adding ~~~~ at the end. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 16:27, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks, I was wondering how that was done Binarypower 19:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
    • The page was listed on WP:CP back when the article was a copyright violation. Although the page was fixed, and was no longer a copyvio, no one updated WP:CP to say that. So user:Cryptic, thinking it was still a copyvio, deleted the page. (It an easy mistake to make.) I've restored the page. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 10:25, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Thanks, I was pulling my hair out due to the numerous negative changes made to it. I didn't know who had control to remove it from the WP:CP page. Hopefully now it will be left alone or made better by positive contributions. Thanks for restoring it.Binarypower 18:11, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Why was this speedily deleted? It kind of seems unfair. I have been working with this article for some time now. It was just undeleted. Don't you think it would be fair to give some time to let me update the article? This is noteworthy and it had more content than most that have not been touched. At the very least I am asking for the article code so I can add content to it then repost. Binarypower 18:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

  • What I "saw" when I looked at this article was:
CTIA Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association is a nonprofit organization started in 1984. // Serves wireless industry.
Ie. I stripped off the headings and all the names. As such it was an empty article. On further examination, I note that the list of names includes an impressively blue set of links - but do we actually need that list - are you willing to keep it up to date? I have restored the article to user:Binarypower/sandbox. I suggest you work on it there until it looks like a proper article. Look at comparable articles about other trade associations. Define "wireless" by means of a wikilink! What have they got to do with Wi-Fi? Give a link to the association's website. Put it in a non-stub category. Omit the list of Board Members (except for those who have their own articles). Omit the names of all member companies. Instead go to the list of USA cellphone companies and annotate that with those who are not members of CTIA.
In short, it was deleted on grounds of very poor article quality - the association is probably notable. -- RHaworth 19:40, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Thank you. You have pointed me in the right direction and I truly appreciate it. Thanks for letting me have the code as well.Binarypower 19:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Illuminance

Illuminance is not a typo, and is quite distinct from luminance. The former was correct.--Srleffler 04:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I have proposed this article for deletion via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. You may wish to express your opinion on whether it should be kept. --Brianyoumans 10:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

You're right, that's problematic. I'd suggest either tagging it with {{subst:nsd}}, or listing it at WP:PUI.

By the way, you speak Farsi? That's terrific, and I'm jealous. Do you have any thoughts on this controversy?: [1][2][3][4][5] Did Ahmadinejad say what could be best translated as "Israel should be wiped off the face of the map", as has been widely quoted in the Western press? Or is his statement better translated as "This occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time"? Is the translation we've been told (the statement Ahmadinejad is probably best known in the West for saying) significantly more aggressive than what he actually said? It's awfully hard to find opinions from people who know Farsi and are even remotely neutral.

  • To quote you "people who know Farsi and are even remotely neutral."... I second that. I am only a 2 with the language but things can be translated in different way. It's like saying the popular catchphrase "that's cool" It depends on the inflection of the tone... IE sarcastic, sad, questioning, happy, mad... or even perverse. You cannot have a 100% perfect translation, I'm sure if you translate that to Chinese, it can be said as "That's all right", "That is good" or even, laughably, "The temperature of that is cold". Especially as such with a language that dates back to the Zoroastrian period. My mother is Iranian Christian and she took it as, an un-quotable quote mind you, "Israel should be removed from the land"... I mean it sounds clear. If you look at the banner under which he makes that statement it says "The world without Zionism" but I don't dabble in Mid Eastern politics so I probably won't contribute to the discussion. I'm proud to be born and raised in Arkansas and being southern has diluted my capacity for legs to stand on when it comes to anything controversial... lame excuse yes I know.. But I do know if you say anything in the media you are quoted in a specific formula to get the largest response. For example. I, being Southern and Iranian were to go out to a farm and blow up a homemade bomb, the media says "an Iranian American blows up bomb". If it's race related, for anything, it becomes "An Arkansan" or if it's sexually related it becomes "A homosexual"... What I'm trying to say is he said it, but how he said it can be construed by whoever in almost any way... Basically both statements mean the exact same thing. Even the first, commonly known, statement does not mean that he wants all Israelis dead, but we CAN deduce from BOTH statements that he wants the government of Israel to go away... I think "wiped" was an embellishment... ie "nuclear wiping" to match our current stance on their nuclear ambitions. Thanks for the help with the Smile article.
