User:Aryan682

Hi, you declined a U1 tag on this user page, but while the tag was placed by someone else, the user clearly intended for it to be deleted - they blanked it and added an AfD tag. Can you check the page history next time you see such a U1, especially for newer editors who may not know about CSD? Thanks, ansh666 21:50, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Question

What pages are you able to edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GoBlueRaiders87 (talk • contribs) 20:25, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi GoBlueRaiders87, there are many pages that you can edit on Wikipdeia, however there are guidelines that you will need to familiarise yourself with to ensure you edit in a suitable manner. If you have a look at the links I've left on your talk page this should give you some guidance, if your after help editing generally the Teahouse would be a good place to go to start with.

Lactation consultant article

Hi Amortias. I was looking for Wikipedia's article on Lactation consultants and saw that you deleted it as an expired PROD. Could you please restore it, as it is an important topic? If you feel the quality is really bad, feel free to restore to my userspace instead of to mainspace. BTW I understand the PROD system and am not criticizing your deletion in any way :) Cheers and thanks, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 07:15, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

@Clayoquot: restored to here. Amortias (T)(C) 18:13, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm going to move it back to mainspace as it would certainly pass AfD, although it could certainly be improved. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 18:32, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Could you please restore Talk:Lactation consultant? Clayoquot (talk | contribs)

Great, thanks :) Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 19:41, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Also please International Board-Certified Lactation consultant and its Talk page? Looks like it's needed for GFDL compliance. Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 07:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Small cv note

Just a note, if you revdel/clean out a draft for copyright violations, and it's been declined as a copyright, the |cv| in the decline template should be changed to |cv-cleaned| (e.g. here). Thanks! Primefac (talk) 14:36, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Andrey Esionov

Finkrek (talk) 08:08, 18 January 2018 (UTC) Hello. You deleted the quote from the page "Andrey Esionov", because for its publication you need copyrights. The author allowed it to be published. How to confirm authorship and permission to publish? Here is a link to the page </ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Esionov Thank you

Hello, Amortias. Did not wait for your reply. You deleted the quote from the page "Andrey Esionov", because for its publication you need copyrights. The author allowed it to be published. How to confirm authorship and permission to publish? Here is a link to the page </ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Esionov And how do I remove the exclamation mark at the top of the page if additional verification links have been added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Finkrek (talk • contribs) 14:09, 23 January 2018 (UTC) Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Finkrek (talk • contribs) 14:03, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Finkrek if the author of the text is willing to donate the text in question they will need to follow the process here. Amortias (T)(C) 14:50, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

That didn't need a purple box.

Hi. If someone puts a {{resolved}} template on an ANI discussion, it doesn't need a purple box put around it, too. Besides being quite redundant, see Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 13#Closing - is it really always necessary?. Discussion doesn't necessarily end immediately after someone is blocked. There could be further discussion necessary – someone thinks the block is bad, a sock puppet pops up, etc. This has happened to me several times at ANI. In the middle of a discussion I'm trying to have with another editor, some uninvolved person pops in to put a purple box around it that says, "DISCUSSION IS OVER, GO AWAY NOW." Let me say, this is really quite annoying. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:38, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Continuation about Andrey Esionov

Finkrek (talk) 15:50, 25 January 2018 (UTC) Hello. Sorry for my obsession. The quote you deleted was taken from an authoritative source - the site of the journal of the Tretyakov Gallery. Confirmation is on this site: http://www.tretyakovgallerymagazine.com/news/exhibition-paintings-and-graphic-works-andrey-esionov-z-russian-academy-arts-moscow.

Paul Sidwell article

Hi Amortias, could you revert your deletion of Paul Sidwell?

The Paul Sidwell article is notable because Sidwell is currently one of the most important scholars on Austroasiatic languages (the largest language family in Southeast Asia), with many publications. Many Wikipedia articles link to this page. Before, someone had written that article to look like a personal page. But the Paul Sidwell article should nevertheless be revived, since it meets all the requirements in Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Criteria. — Stevey7788 (talk) 17:37, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Stevey7788, the page I deleted contained no sources to back up any of the claims made in the article. The only link on the page was to a website about the individual. There isn't any content on the page that would be sourced so it would be just as quick to start again - I'd suggest as a draft, with regards to meeting the notability criteria mentioned above without the required sources there's no proof of notability. Amortias (T)(C) 12:12, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

If that's the case, then in the future please discuss it in the talk page nominate it for regular rather than speedy deletion. I'll re-start the article and list sources. — Stevey7788 (talk) 03:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of my page

I do not understand why my page 'Funfest Events' got deleted. I have referenced everything that needed to be referenced. This is a page I am making for my company. All the information has been written by us unless otherwise cited. I have created this page 4 times now, each becoming more and more vague than the last. This is an extremely frustrating thing; especially when what I am writing is no different than other festival pages that up and running. Stefanie.funfest (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I want my deleted work back, I have spent hours trying to create a page for my boss and it got deleted for what I feel is a ridiculous reason. I am writing in a completely unbiased manner and am not promoting a single thing, just simply explaining our history and clients we have worked with.
