Eh, I removed the comments and declined it, then blocked the user as they were never actually blocked beforehand. Thanks for the heads up though! Also, if you don't already know, reporting things like that at AIV can help, as numerous different admins look there as well! But thanks again! Also, I saw you're an admin hopeful someday. How is that coming along? Jmlk17 04:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey, would it be ok, if we put the article up for AFD instead, to get opinions on notability from the community?

Please explain

I have tried to add and start a page about a surrealist garden in Mexico titled LAS POZAS. Since there are many other desciptions and artciles about other such follies, (the Watts Towers for example), I am not sure why you have marked this for omission.

About Luna Halo

First of all, the references in this article were written incorrectly. I fixed this, as well as removing a blacklisted link. As for the article itself, it could use more content, but in my opinion it qualifies for WP:BAND. However, I will list it for AFD to try to get multiple viewpoints. Never mind, I decided that it doesn't need an AFD because of the google news hits and because it has plenty of sources. KJS77 05:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Lucy's Retired Surfer's Bar

Last night this page was deleted. The person that wrote the original page contacted the administrator that deleted it. I re-wrote the page using the guidelines specified by WIKIpedia. Please explain why it has been listed as spam. It was a descriptive page. Nothing more. The Dunkin Donuts page lists every kind of coffee they sell. If that is okay, I don't see the problem with this page since it was only a brief history and a map link. Nothing was promoted here. Please explain. -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Foreveryours4444 (talk • contribs).

Replied here: [26]. -WarthogDemon 00:30, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
There have been 8 Lucy's Retired Surfer's Bars across the country. 4 are still in existance. It is a franchise, just like McDonald's. You may have never heard of it but companies like "Pita Pit" have a page and they are a small franchise also. The discription of Lucy's was not merely about the one in Syracuse but about all of them. The pictures happened to be from Syracuse. But when you see a picture of "Pita Pit" it was obviously taken locally somewhere. And companies such as Dunkin' Donuts blatently advertises their stores by listing every type of coffee they sell. And I don't mind but is that really necessary? I doubt that I'd find that information in the "Encyclopedia Britannica." You also shortened the Marshall Street page. I see your point that you don't think it's necessary to list the stores, but there are many pages like that that exist on WIKIpedia, that list all the stores in the area that the page is about. I'm not trying to get you to delete them. I just want you to be fair, that's all. Listing the stores was not to make the page into a tour-guide. I know it may seem that way. But their are a lot of Syracuse University students and Alumni as wellas visitors that would find that information useful. Have't you ever said,"Hey, what was the name of that place we used to go to when we were in college?" Wouldn't you want to be able to look it up? I know this doesn't matter but I worked pretty hard on these pages. The Marshall Street page has listed stores from 2004 until now. So if it's wrong, then why did it go unnoticed for 3 years? All I did was correct information that was wrong, corrected spelling and punctuation, organized and alphabetized things and updated it. Truthfully, the page is much shorter than it was before. I deleted a lot of unimportant information, including bars and restuarant specials, incidents that occurred at various bars, and all the former retail stores. I understand if there's nothing you can do, but I hope you consider what I've stated. Thanks for your time. -Foreveryours4444 01:12, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
You tagged the article for deletion, so you are likely familiar with the content. I agree with the tag and the deletion (by another admin, not me), and don't see any reason to go to DRV. A speedy deletion for spam in no way prevents the article from being recreated, but any new version should include references to places where these bars have been covered in reliable sources (not cameos in movies) and should document the notability of the chain. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Replied here: [27]. -WarthogDemon 01:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
How did I (and why would I) tag my own article for deletion? What does DRV mean? I can only refer you to articles on the internet, web pages and web-found franchising information. Lucy's was in Co-Ed mMagazine (for instance) but they rated it "Best Bar in Syracuse" but I can't write that because it would be "promoting." Show me one reference on the "Pit Pit" page where they have been covered by reliable sources that document the notability of THEIR chain. On top of that they to have 2 links to their websight - obviously promoting, and descriptions of the types of pita sandwiches you can buy. Not exactly encyclopidia information. They don't have one reference to prove their notability. Just a lot of hear-say claims. I'm just using Pita Pit is just an example by the way. I've looked at quite a few WIKIpedia sights for franchises and NONE of them reference anything to prove their notibilty. You administrators seem to be bias, so I'm giving up. Thanks and have a great day. -—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.71.67.218 (talk • contribs).

You say you wantes to see if "I" had grounds for my article to removed? Why on earth would I want my own article removed? If I tagged it for removal, it was an accident, I assure you. I don't know how to tag articles or what that even means exactly. You also didn't explain why you allow other pages to do things your telling me I can't do. As I said before, not only are they promoting themselves by explaining detailed discriptions on the products they sell, but adding links to their personal websights. Both of which, I was told I can't do and was what got my article deleted the first time. And I haven't seen one page that uses references to back up their claims. Go to the "Studio 54" page for instance. Then read the long list of celebrities who supposedly were seen there. Try and find one reference to back up these "notable" claims. I realize that Lucy's is not Studio 54, but I'm just trying to make a point here and this is not an isolated thing. It's pretty much everyone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Foreveryours4444 (talk • contribs).
I also still disagree that you shortened the Marshall Street page. It was up and running for 3 years and all I did was make some corrections. In fact, I actually shortened it myself. You're going to get everyone that you deleted angry with me. As I stated earlier, the businesses that were listed directly reflect to the area's personna and history and listing them was informative to many people. Taking them out deprives people of important information. And anyway, WIKIpedia allows this "unnecessary store listing" on many other pages that refer to a given city's specific area. This time please address all my questions and concerns instead of just answering one. You ask me not to get angry and I'm not, but please understand that I spent about a week reasearching and writing these articles. Then they were deleted. So I spent hours rewriting them using one of YOUR ADMINISTRATOR"S strict guidelines and you again deleted them as I was still in the process of editing one. I've gone by your rules but WIKIpedia doesn't seem to even follow their own rules. And everytime I've written you and explained my concerns you pick out the one question that's easy to answer and fail to address the rest. (For example, out of all my questions and comments I wrote last time, all you anwered was what DRV stands for, which clarified absolutely nothing for me) When I said have a great day I meant it. I know you're not out to personally get me. I would just like all of my questions answered so don't have to keep asking because I've wasted enough time this week on all this already and it's not angering me, it's just very frustrating.

Myachi pages

Feel free to explain why you think said pages are advertisements, because they are anything but. They're simply sources of information for anyone who wants to know more about Myachi, and there is no reason to delete them.

I've already dealt with this plenty of times, and every time, I did what was asked. I removed everything that didn't sound "encyclopedic," I made it so it wasn't like an advertisement, I added references. But now you've got a problem with it? -BrownsFanForLife 21:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [36]. -WarthogDemon 21:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm doing my best to source the information, but you've got to understand, there aren't many sources. Most of what is said on the article is just that: said. There are no books on Myachi, and just one video. The only real sources are the Myachi website and forum, and that's all I really can source. Most everything else was said, at one point or another, by the creators of Myachi themselves. -BrownsFanForLife 21:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Wondering If My Prodding Was Legit

To be honest I am currently looking at the pages, trying to figure out how to get rid of them ;).

Thanks for the message on my talk page

I’m new to wikipedia but have noticed some gaps in certain areas of interest to me so figured I'd see if I could slowly start to help out - but I have a lot to learn about how to post, edit, etc and apologize for prematurely uploading a couple of entries. I updated the InnerKids entry hope that helps - also updated the Jon Kabat-Zinn page with his accurate title and new book. I uploaded an entry for Wendy Mogel that got tagged and I will flesh out in the next couple of days. I also uploaded an entry for Daniel Siegel, MD that my guess needs to be fleshed out as well – even though it wasn’t tagged – so I’ll get to that over the next few days.
