[edit] Ah, empty talk page!
Welcome back! How was your break? Here's hoping you'll be a little more active from now on ^-^ --PeaceNT (talk) 16:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I see you still have a retirement notice on display. I suppose it's better to have you here and there than not having you on Wiki at all. Happy writing :) --PeaceNT (talk) 16:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Remember Maureen Furniss ?
Remember when someone with the screen name Mfurniss created the Maureen Furniss and it was speedied? Well, I'll see if I can make a good article about her. I used lots of sources and I tried to get as much about her as I could. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kenneth Fowler prod
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kenneth Fowler, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Kenneth Fowler.
The main concern is that the only possible source for this article is disappearing along with the publisher. The name is quite common amongst authors, there is even a contemporary historian of the same name with 5+ published books. I worry that there may be confusion with the name, and the confusion cannot be resolved since no sources exist to confirm the claims in the article.
I contact you because you handled the Copyright permission confirmation for this article. The main author has no account, but I have also notified an editor who did significant cleanup within the last month. Sorry to bother your retirement -- if you remove the prod I will not continue to seek deletion (though I may move the page for a disambig). JackSchmidt (talk) 16:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Recreation of an article
Hi. About a year ago you deleted Timeline of Dragon Ball per an afd and the article has been recreated (by Agent007ravi) as Timeline (Dragon Ball). Doesn't this violate copyright or policy? Please reply below, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 03:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Howdy, you may be looking for WP:CSD#G4:
G4. Recreation of deleted material. A copy, by any title, of a page deleted via a deletion discussion, provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted. This does not apply to content that has been moved to user space, undeleted via deletion review, deleted via proposed deletion, or to speedy deletions (although in that case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply).
- If the new article is basically the same text as before (not just the same topic), then you can just put a {{db-repost}} speedy deletion tag on the article. For instance as {{db-repost|Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Timeline_of_Dragon_Ball}}. If the article text is new, then you probably want to do the whole {{prod}}, {{afd1}} routine instead. JackSchmidt (talk) 05:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks Jack, here it is. Think I added more than enough reason for a speedy deletion. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 05:54, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfB
I wanted to personally thank you, MD, for leaving your retirement to come and participate in my recent RfB--I approve of your message 
. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I am thankful and appreciative that in general, the community feels that I am worthy of the trust it requires of its bureaucrats, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I hope that over the near future, you will become comfortable and satisfied with my understanding of the particulars and subtleties inherent in the RfA process, and that I may be able to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi (talk) 18:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Mailer, long time no see. I figured you were done for good until I fully read your Manifesto and, sadly, your RfB. I wanted to be there to support you but I was on a long wikibreak due to no internet connection. I just wanted to drop by as I seen your still allowing talk here, to tell you that although your not contributing, you're one of the few wikipedians I've come to admire and respect. I wish you the best in all your endeavors. And thanks again in nominating me for that RfA. :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 15:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re : ReaSoft
Dear sir,
I am writing to you because I came across a problem with creating a wikipedia article. Recently I wrote two articles: "ReaSoft Converter" and "PDF Printer ReaSoft". Both of the articles have been speedy deleted, because "they seem to be blatant advertising ". However, I tried to dispute that fact with the editor on the articles talk pages, but he/she didn't reply or whatever. I believe that those two articles don't promote or advertise that products, I reviewed them several times and excluded all the facts that may be treated as advertising. They are both of informative kind, not promotive. However, while searching Wikipedia I saw several articles which may seem akin to those that I tried to post. (this one, for example - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinePrint) Please assist me with solving this problem.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
- Best regards, Elena Sukhanova. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vein eater (talk • contribs) 09:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE : Possible for FAC?
Hi Blnguyen & Hoary,
It's been quite a while you probably last heard from me. ;) I'm thinking of trying to salvage a near-condemned article and will need a favour from you. Odex's actions against file-sharing was previously shot down by FAC and GAC due to various reasons and I don't know whether all the criticisms thrusted at it were legitimate, and if it's worth to salvage the article and be able to pass it through FAC again. I will need some further assistance per Tony1 to have a second or third opinion on the copyediting state of the article if it's going to stand any chance for FAC. (my grammar can be atrocious at times!). Apologies for the long rambling and g'day! - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 18:19, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I can't see any inherent problem why it can't be FA if it is copyedited, so I guess it boils down to whether you think the toil is worth it. I suppose I do take FA more seriously than most. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Diablo. It's good to hear from you again.
- I started to read the article, but I'm afraid that I gave up. I then skimread some more of it. Certain aspects of it seem very well done indeed. While Tony or someone like him may be able to improve the English here and there, the English seems excellent.
- These don't seem to be the problem, which to me is that the whole thing doesn't seem encyclopedic. By that I don't mean that the subject shouldn't be covered; rather, I mean that the article looks to me like a chapter of a book -- an exceptionally scrupulously referenced book -- about BitTorrent litigation.
- As I look around my shelves, I see a lot of books. Of course many are poorly referenced. But many others are scrupulously referenced, published by university presses, and all in all are about as good on their subjects as you could reasonably expect books to be. However, the great majority of these aren't (and don't attempt to be) encyclopedic. This article seems similar.
- What are the important issues and events here? I think these are what we need, not an exhaustive blow-by-blow.
- On the other hand all of this may simply be too far from my own areas of interest. Others may have a more favorable view (and I don't notice my objection arising among the pernickety GA comments). -- Hoary (talk) 07:35, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- Thanks for your comments. It's something for me to consider about. :) - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 16:11, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted article and 'speedy deletion' on a name
Hello, I was wondering how works the speedy deletion regulations? It seems to be very unfair for certain people. I've got a problem trying to upload an article concerning a contemporary artist, now his name is 'speedy deletion' in all the pages where his name appears. I'm not the artist and I just wanted to add more info about him. What can I do? I can fulfill the notability regulations about the person but the editor/admin who blocked and deleted seems just to don't care. What can I do? Thank you !
