[edit] Content of deleted article

I am attempting to remake the Sabrepulse article, which has been deleted quite a few times due to notability assertion problems. I feel that he is notable, and that the people editing the article simply did not know what to do, and as such I am requesting that you could provide me with a copy of whichever deleted copy you consider to be the best. I will understand if you do not wish to do this, I am asking you as I noticed that you are active as I am typing this. Thanks a lot in advance. asenine t/c\r (fc: f2abr04) 20:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I copied it to User:Asenine/Sabrepulse. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bovine somatotropin

Hi, is there any way to create a diagram for Bovine somatotropin or for Posilac? Badagnani (talk) 16:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Bovine somatotropin is a protein that is 190 amino acids long. That's too big for me to be able to diagram with chemical structure drawing programs. You might try Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Requested pictures where someone else might have the right tools to create it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User 69.24.5.21

I am contacting you due to your obviously superior knowledge of wikipedia than me due to age of account. As I do not know the process I am hoping you can take care of it.

User User:69.24.5.21 has been cited multiple times for vandalism. I have tipped off a few classroom administrators as I know who caused the most recent vandalism, however there are near 200 computers in this school sharing the same IP so it is near impossible to monitor all of the students. I hope you can find a way to block anonymous edits from this IP address. I am nearly 100% sure this vandalism will not stop so I am suggesting the block in order to stop most vandalism from this IP.

Thank you, Php Jesse (talk) 17:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

In general, Wikipedia does not block IP addresses in anticipation of vandalism, but usually only to stop ongoing vandalism. That IP address has been responsible for a small amount of vandalism (relatively speaking) and has received a couple of short blocks in response. If additional inappropriate editing comes from that IP, longer blocks (usually preventing only anonymous editing) will be applied. However, since there have been no edits at all from that IP in a couple of weeks, there doesn't seem to be any need for a block currently. If the vandalism does continue at some point, please warn them (see WP:WARN), or report it to WP:AIV. I hope this helps explain things. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ZERO TO THREE

Hi, I'm an intern at ZERO TO THREE creating a page for them. The organization is a non-profit. I want them to have a Wiki page since what they do (early childhood education) correlates with other subjects on Wikipedia. This isn't blantant advertising. How can I get the page back up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Worthgr (talk • contribs) 19:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The article came across as completely promotional, rather than encyclopedic in tone. It doesn't really matter whether it is a non-profit organization or not. Before trying to rewrite the article in a more neutral fashion, you might want to first take a look at Wikipedia's notability guidelines. If the organization doesn't meet guidelines, it is likely to be deleted again. Also, it is considered a conflict of interest to write about organizations with which you are affiliated, so it is probably best to let someone else create it. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:02, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks in return for the revert on my page. Epbr123 (talk) 15:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hans Christian King

This article has been recreated again fot the 3rd time today and editor has a COI see talk page of article, he works for him. BigDuncTalk 20:37, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. The version I deleted was copied directly from the subject's website, so I deleted as a copyright violation. The current version is not a copy, and doesn't appear to be an obvious advertisement to me. I'd be inclined to send it to AFD, but since the editor is working on it, I'll keep an eye on it for now. I suspect, though, that another admin will speedy it before too long. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:42, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
OK thanks. BigDuncTalk 20:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 92.232.112.57

You've unfairly blocked IP Address 92.232.112.57 I was at school and other students at a much younger age broke the vandalism rules ruining it for the rest of the school. Is it possible for you to unblock the IP Address please? Many Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dangiee41 (talk • contribs) 13:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

If I have blocked your school's IP address because students were vandalizing, I haven't done anything unfair. The blame rests on the individuals vandalizing, not on the administrator who stopped the vandalism. However, it appears that the IP address 92.232.112.57 has not been blocked by me or by anyone else.

[edit] Srilap

I would like ISKCON's "Issues within the society" and "Rath Yatra controversy" to be kindly removed. Firstly, respecting people's beliefs, i do not find it fair that negative information such as this should be displayed PUBLICLY on a site as well known as this. Secondly, these contraversies have no solid proof to substantiate them, and have widely been said to ruin ISKCON's reputation.

I deleted the information earlier, because i believed it necessary to protect ISKCON's reputation. Being a follower myself, i found it offensive to have seen such invalid and inappropriate information on a public website.

Please kindly take these points into consideraiton.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Srilap (talk • contribs)

I'm sorry, I don't know what you are referring to. Can you tell me the name(s) of the article(s)? -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:54, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
The article is: International Society for Krishna Consciousness
OK, I see now. If you disagree about the content of that article, please discuss your concerns on the talk page. Simply removing content is generally against Wikipedia's policies. You were asked to stop, but you persisted, and that's why I applied the short block on editing. If you feel that the article misrepresents the organization, please use the page talk:International Society for Krishna Consciousness. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] lock oxybutynin

do you think it would be worthwhile to lock the oxybutynin article for a bit? someone has written in that it is a "very effective" treatment for hyperhidrosis. Their supporting documentation is a case report with just one patient, and then two _comment_ articles. I edited this to read "possible" treatment based on lack of supporting data and user Try45 immediately undid the revision with no explanation. Then you restored my revision, and Try45 quickly reversed your action. Any attempts to fix this are rapidly undone by Try45 with no explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scott1976 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Generally, pages aren't locked from editing unless there is vandalism or severe disruption of some sort. I think this is something that can be resolved by discussion. I have asked Try45 to discuss his edits on the article's talk page. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

What is your supporting data for using the term 'possible' ? , instead of 'very effective' ?. I think you are splitting hairs with me. Someone else could easily remove your connection of Oxybutynin with hyperhidrosis altogether, because Oxybutynin is not actually licenced for hyperhidrosis. Who says that YOUR wording is exactly correct?. Try45

I've copied you comments to Talk:oxybutynin and replied there. That is probably a more appropriate place for the discussion so that others interested in the article can see it and participate. Hopefully Scott1976 can comment there too.-- Ed (Edgar181) 13:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Missing chemical structures and IUPAC names

Hello. Could you please help editing these pages?

There are no chemical structures and IUPAC names in these articles. :-) Carlo Banez (talk) 18:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

All done now. Fvasconcellos and Rifleman got some, and I got the rest. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok. But the articles epicillin, metampicillin, and eribulin have no IUPAC names yet. :-) Carlo Banez (talk) 13:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ChemSpider is granted Rollback?

Edgar181 - I noticed that you did something to my privileges regarding rollback? Can you explain what this means for me? Thanks --ChemSpiderMan (talk) 04:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Rollback is a feature that makes reverting vandalism easier - you should notice just an extra button when you look at an article's history. It's a privilege that any administrator can grant to another account. I think it is something that should be given to every trusted user, even if they aren't going to use it much, so I've been giving it to every regular wikichemist. Sorry that I neglected to drop you note letting you know. (If you object, I can remove it.) -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the "trust". I'll use the privilege when I see the need. Appreciated--ChemSpiderMan (talk) 15:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you.

Thank you for blocking the anonymous user who repeatedly vandalized my userpage. It is greatly appreciated. I have a related question for you, though. Given that the vandalism arose from a content dispute at the Whiskey in the Jar article, and that more than one anon is involved in said content dispute, do you think that page protection is in order? Frankly, this is one of the silliest content disputes in which I have ever been involved, but there are real issues here, and it should be addressed in a reasonable manner. Thanks again for your time and efforts. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 18:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. I've semi-protected the page for now. Hopefully this will encourage the individual to either contribute constructively to discussion on the talk page, or to find something else to do. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
My guess, though I have been wrong about this sort of thing before, is that if he is not able to impose his version, he will tire of it and go away. Let us hope this is the case. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 20:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Di-tert-butyl peroxide

Sir,

Please explain your deletion of significant information in the article "Di-tert-butyl peroxide"

You removed, among other information, the proton NMR shift, which to my knowledge is not available in any other free reference.

The revision:

Revision as of 13:34, 21 October 2007

I didn't remove it. That little bit of info was removed by Rifleman 82 (talk · contribs) when he updated the infobox. The current infobox on all articles on chemicals has been standardized to contain specific types of information and proton NMR shift is not among them. If you think it's valuable information, you can just add it the text of the article. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. :) I happened to notice that when you restored this article, you didn't restore the talk page. (The restoration was fresh up on the deletion log when I checked it today; I noticed then, but kept the article open while doing other things so as not to anticipate you.) I'm pretty sure that it's restoration is uncontroversial, so I've taken the liberty of bringing it back. Not much on it but a project tag, but it has been assessed so it might save some duplicate effort. If I've misread the situation and you would rather I not have restored the talk page, then please accept my hearty apologies and feel free to redelete. :) Second-guessing people sometimes backfires and there may be other factors you had in mind there of which (obviously) I'm unaware. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wallaceij - deleted page

Hello, I tried to start the page, Applying to Graduate School in Psychology: Advice From Successful Students and Prominent Psychologists. I understand that parts of the original page appeared to be blatent advertising. I revised the page to remove blatent advertising and increased a focus on the book as a first of its kind. I also placed an entry on the talk page defending place as a legitimate entry, which I've reproduced here:

This page represents a legitimate encyclopedia entry because it is the first book published by the American Psychological Association - the largest and most popular publisher of psychological resources - to be edited by current graduate students in psychology. This is a significant accomplishment in view of the 100's if not 1000's of books on pursuing higher education that are exclusively published by professionals. Furthermore, it is also unique to other such resources because it is predominantly authored by graduate students.

To reduce the impression that this page is an advertisement, I have removed the long block quote describing the marketable qualities of the book.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Applying_to_Graduate_School_in_Psychology:_Advice_From_Successful_Students_and_Prominent_Psychologists"


My intention creating this page was to document the novelty of a book about getting into graduate school in psychology that is edited by actual graduate students. It is a first of its kind, which seems like a legitimate reason for being included in an encyclopedia such as Wikipedia. If not, please explain.

Additionally, please move my deleted page to my userpage. Thank you. --Ian (talk) 19:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Based on the content of the article, I don't think the book meets Wikipedia's standards for inclusion as outlined at Wikipedia:Notability (books). However, I have created a copy of the article at User:Wallaceij/Applying to Graduate School in Psychology so that if you think does meet notability criteria, you can work on improving the article there. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:00, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

After reviewing the notability criteria, I can see that the book, which is the subject of my proposed page, doesn't meet any criterion. Thanks for clarifying things. --Ian (talk) 23:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hub Bike Coop Talk page

OK, the Hub Bike Coop article has now been deleted TWICE. I added a talk page to start a discussion regarding the article's problems, a discussion which you swiftly DELETED. So what is wrong with you??? Are you against healthy debate??? Do you oppose constructive negotiation??? Are you seemingly hell-bent on destroying the American ideals of the right to free speach and opinion??? Well if you are, I highly reccommend that you leave Wikipedia IMMEDIATELY, because it is people like YOU who create these one-sided non peer-reviewed articles. Frankly, that is quite the opposite of Wikipedia's goal. Next time you want to raise hell with my efforts, tell me. Let's not resort to guerilla war-tactics here, Edgar. Your's sincerely, Ldud, crusader of Wikipedian rights. ل داد 10:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

OK, I see now. Thanks, Bob.
Ldud, Hub Bicycle Co-op was deleted May 24th by Orangemike (talk · contribs). A couple of weeks later, you created the talk page for the article. It's unlikely that anyone would come across "orphaned" talk pages to discuss the deletion, so these kinds of pages are routinely deleted (this is a criteria for speedy deletion, and the reason I deleted the talk page). If you want to discuss the deletion of the article, it would be best contact Orangemike and talk to him, and if that doesn't work out you can look into Wikipedia:Deletion review. Hope this helps. -- Ed (Edgar181) 01:34, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 74.194.19.176 (talk · contribs)

I was looking into this (I removed the message from AIV) and just saw you blocked this IP - I have a feeling the block is actually the fault of CanadianLinuxUser (talk · contribs) who upset an anon user by reverting their good faith edit, which was actually a correct edit, and then slapped a warning template on the anon user. Neıl 龱 15:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, looking closer, it does appear that CanadianLinuxUser erred, but I wouldn't say that the block is his fault. I would say that the anon user who made the personal attacks is responsible for his own actions. I normally block for that kind of thing, but since it's not as clear-cut as it originally appeared to me, I'll unblock and warn instead. Thanks for letting me know. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Edgar. Much appreciated. Neıl 龱 15:49, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Topotecan

Hi Ed. Can you please check the CAS number? The number 123948-87-8 is given in the article and confirmed on nlm.nih.gov, while the number in DrugBank is 119413-54-6. Is one the pure substance and the other the hydrochloride? --Leyo 12:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll have a chance to take a look tomorrow. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
It looks like you are right. From Chemical Abstracts: 123948-87-8 is the CAS number for topotecan free base, and 119413-54-6 is topotecan hydrochloride. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:00, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I added the latter to the drugbox. --Leyo 16:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Hedge

Why did you delete Mr. Hedge? Why did you delete it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewCoelho (talk • contribs) 16:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

It was a biography that made no assertion of notability. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:55, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada Wikipedia page

I am the DCO (second-in-command)of the Camerons of Canada and have tried to edit the Wikipedia page on my Regiment to include better links (one of which is to the Regiment's own website). After editing the page I received a message that Wikipedia had reverted the page to how it was prior to my additions. If there is anyone who is more of a subject matter expert on the Regiment than I am, I already know them personally or would be very interested in corresponding with them. I want to make the article on the Camerons as complete and accurate as it can be. To do so I need to be able to edit it.

B.W. Takeuchi Maj DCO Camerons of Canada

XLinkBot (talk · contribs) automatically reverts the addition of links to geocities when added by new users. This is because of common misuse of these types of links. I have now switched back to your version of the article. You shouldn't have trouble editing the article now. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
