Babur's First Indian Expedition

This is disruptive. If you think that this doesn't belong in article space then start an AfD discussion rather than try to find a way round our deletion procedures. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:58, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

it was created by a new user who needs some guidance which I have offered.--RadioFan (talk) 21:07, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

That doesn't answer the point that you shouldn't be trying to circumvent deletion policy in this way. This isn't the first time that I've seen you do this. Please stop. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

If you deleted the article you should restore it. It is likely notable, needs some help, but is likely notable. If you disagree with the userification, feel free to revert it but I reserve the right to continue to help this user improve this article.--RadioFan (talk) 23:13, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

What on Earth do you mean by, "If you deleted the article you should restore it"? Of course I didn't delete it. I haven't questioned your right to help this user, but I do question your right to unilaterally decide to move an article out of mainspace. As a non-admin I can't revert your move because you edited the redirect, by putting a speedy deletion tag on it, after performing the move. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:48, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

That's good, it shouldn't be deleted. Didn't realize you weren't an admin. I'm well aware of deletion proceedures. I started several AFDs today in fact and also marked several articles with prod tags. This isn't "finding a way around our deletion procedures" If I thought it should be deleted, I'd AFD or prod it but I think it has some potential and am working with a new editor here, who has created a wholly unreferenced article based at best in original research and at worst personal opinion. The article was userfied rather than deleted. Would you like to help guide this new editor here? You look like an experienced editor who has could help out here as well.--RadioFan (talk) 00:15, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Problem with Galexia deletion due to 2008 discussion. Galexia in 2012 is now a contribution to pop-culture from radio to album chartings'

Hello RadioFan, As a large fan of Galexia I created the band's wikipedia article - Prior to its deletion I had many sources such as interviews, photos of amazon.com chart positions, 2009's Album of The Year award presented by "Audio Oddyssey United Kingdom". I believe the page should be considered for restoration and allow myself, other music fans familiar with Galexia and the general Wikipedia moderator base to reference the citations as many articles, photos, videos and press content can be found via Google search. - The next Galexia album still has a page and I believe my Band page was well written in comparison, but needed the rest of the biography, citations, and information that I was slowly gathering to create an A+ article about one of the (in my, and many listeners opinion) most innovative band's to come out of obscurity and become signed to a major label with experimental music, and making it a success. I would appreciate a response back when you have time, as I'd like to add further information along with photos and interviews. - The page was initially deleted from what I can see as being "non-notable persons" back in the 2006-2008 era, I was not even a fan yet back then so I can agree with the deletion back then as Galexia was releasing the debut album. Now Galexia is releasing a third and final album under Atlantic Records after selling a combined Gold amount of the first two albums combined, Now In Technicolor! (The albums name, with the single "Hey Hey, Takei!") is expected by analysts to sell 150 thousand units in the end of Q4 2012 and first half of Q1 2013. Perhaps we can discuss the future of Galexia on WikipediA? - Galexia is mentioned if other pages with prominent stability and interesting information. I'd like to aid in sharing the band's full biography and information for the world. Thank you for the time, and I apologize for the long user talk my ADHD gets the best of me :).

This has already been discussed and the conclusion reached was that the subject does not meet guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you feel strongly that this is not the case and can demonstrate that there is sufficient coverage of the band in reliable 3rd party sources (i.e. something other than the band's webpage, facebook or twitter accounts), the you may request the article be restored. Please go through and admin to do so (there is a list of admins who have deleted this page when you go to the article), I am not an admin, I just bring pages with issues to their attention for them to act on.--RadioFan (talk) 21:10, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Yohowithrum

I've tried discussing it with him, but he just blanks his talk page. When User:Yohowithrum created Justin Friesen's biography page, he included a link to Friesen's Model Mayhem page: http://www.modelmayhem.com/yohowithrum . Since Friesen uses the yohowithrum handle on other websites, and Yohowithrum largely edits pages related to Friesen, I think it's quite unlikely that they're different people. Pburka (talk) 03:53, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

He's also identified himself as Justin Friesen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Shambhala_School&diff=165064708&oldid=164817417 Pburka (talk) 04:19, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi RadioFan. I see that you've withdrawn the Arb request. I do hope that we can resolve this with the user, as he's a talented editor. Unfortunately he's chosen to focus on articles which promote himself and has displayed a disturbing ethical lapse. The fact that he tried to cover-up his identity by editing historical comments before engaging in self-promotion indicates both premeditation and cognizance of the conflict. Pburka (talk) 03:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Please dont take my withdrawal of arbitration as giving up on this. I'm following the advice of the arbitrators there and taking the issue to other admins who are uniquely qualified to deal with the issue. Hopefully the temporary block will help this editor understand that this kind of editing is not helpful and hiding behind sockpuppets is not possible. One of the admins there found one I had no idea of. --RadioFan (talk) 03:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

FYI, I'm suspicious that User:Etobgirl may be another sock. This user was created hours after I added COI notices to the Justin Friesen and Let's Make Lemonade articles. She edited a handful of articles, removed the COI notices, and hasn't been active since. I asked if she knew the subject and she denied it, but given Yohowithrum's history I'm suspicious that the user is another puppet. Pburka (talk) 03:43, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Philip Nozuka

Hello, just letting you know I removed the prod from the above article as it was previously listed at votes for deletion (yes that long ago).

Thank you. Rotten regard 17:59, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I missed that.--RadioFan (talk) 18:41, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.
