Wright Medical Group

The Wright Medical pages are a great resource for anyone researching orthopaedic surgery options. Please advise as to what steps I can take to make these articles more suitable for the wikipedia platform. Thank you in advance!

The article GRAFTJACKET® Regenerative Tissue Matrix - Ulcer Repair has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Is Forbes a reliable, third-party publication?

If a private company (like Soave Enterprises) is on one of Forbes' lists, then Forbes compiles the information and verifies the it to meet the criteria of the list (not the said company.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freshmenz (talk • contribs) 22:26, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi NawlinWiki,

I still don't understand. Since, you have deleted my articles and now plan to block me (as I see you gave me a last warning,) can you please give me any constructive feedback? I have learned from your earlier deletions... I hope! However, I have made many attempts to get help like asking to be adopted, receiving help from colleagues, ticket with Wikipedia (# 2008072410002489) and studying others commercial businesses that have articles that you have not taken down yet. For instance:

| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mccann_erickson
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino%27s_Pizza
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compeat
| http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilitch_Holdings,_Inc.

...and the list goes on and on. I know that Wikipedia does not allow advertising products or services. Why then do you only take down my contributions (when I have taken the time to learn from my past mistakes) and have created my articles in a similar fashion like the other businesses that have pages within Wikipedia? For example, what was the blatant advertising with Soave Enterprises and when compared to Illitch Holdings, Inc or Dominos or Compeat or any other, why aren't these blatant advertising? Another important question is... why is it that some postings are deleted while these others are kept? What is different about what is kept within the site and what is not allowed? Where do you draw the line without being hypocritical about the policies?

I believe that I have met the first requirement that an article must meet is Notability <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:N>. The articles had Reliable Sources <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RS> which can be used to Verify <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:V> the notability of the article subject about Soave Enterprises. They are listed in Forbes! As for the other article on CigarFox, if you do not think the company qualifies, do you recommend discussing it on the article's talk page with other interested editors?

I truly believe that my knowledge and subjects are worth value to be in Wikipedia. I'd would really appreciate to understand your specific reasons why you decided to delete these. This will help me learn how make it more in line with Wikipedia and your guidelines.

Take good care. Thanks and have a great day! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freshmenz (talk • contribs) 20:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Please add all comments at the bottom of the page (or I may not be able to find them).

Sorry about that page :). I was just feeling bored, and I made a new account just in case it got deleted. Trust me, I actually contribute to Wikipedia a lot, but under a different user.

Thank you very much for rescuing my article on Cozen O'Connor from WP:CSD. I've been a contributor here for more than three years and I have written extensively about law-related topics, and it is a bit disappointing to see hyper-deletionists like this guy, who doesn't bother actually reading and understanding policy, come along and trash otherwise good work.

Protecting recent Grawp targets

Hi, NawlinWiki. I was wondering if it's really necessary to semi-protect the articles that were moved by Grawp et all this morning. Grawp doesn't seem to move the same pages twice, or at least not frequently enough to get any real benefit from page protection (or at least not that I've noticed, although I don't follow it especially closely). If it is a good idea to semi them to prevent further vandalism, wouldn't it be better to just semi the move function, as opposed to editing the article in general? It seems to me that doing a full semi-protection causes a lot more collateral damage than simply removing the move function for new users. Anyways, I wanted to run my thoughts by to see what you think. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 16:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I was unaware of his later activities. Complete semi-protects of course make sense now. Thanks for explaining the situation. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 17:14, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Re your deletion of this article: foreign language articles don't qualify for {{db-nocontext}} unless you can tell that they are context-free in the other language. In this case, the article you deleted was a copy of a kowiki article, so it qualified for {{db-notenglish}}. If you run across any other foreign language articles, feel free to bring them to WP:PNT if you aren't sure of the contents. Thanks! nneonneo ^talk 20:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, the author made the article, which was then tagged for {{db-nocontext}}; the author blanked the article, resulting in a Huggle user reverting it as vandalism (even though that would have qualified the article for {{db-blanked}}); the article was then deleted (by you) with a summary of A1. So I guess what I am saying is that, while it could be deleted under either {{db-blanked}} or {{db-notenglish}}, it should not have been tagged and deleted under db-nocontext. Thanks, nneonneo ^talk 20:14, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Please re-instate the Glemonade article. It is an actual drink that people are making and that's what they call it.

Dumping something in your lap

Hi NawlinWiki,

I see you blocked User:Stub12718696 as a "vandalism only account and possible Grawp sock", and User:Stubby Nubby soon after. I noticed another couple of users last night who, I think, are the same person: User:Plappy doon-doon (I'm quite sure) and User:Microƶoƶo (not so sure), but didn't have time to do a proper SSP or RFCU or anything last night, and am not going to have time for Wikipedia today. If you have the time and interest, since you probably know more about this Stub127... account than most, I thought I'd let you know.

No problem if you're busy; if, tomorrow, it looks like you haven't dealt with it, I'll look into it more myself, but I still have a couple of questions:

1. Does Microzozo look like the same person
2. Why "a possible Grawp sock"
3. should all of their contributions to Cyrillic letter articles be rolled back? I know nothing about it, so I can't tell if it's sneaky vandalism, legit, or a mixture.

You speedy-deleted the VisTablet page.

speedy deletion of The Present (2009 film)

I don't understand why my article on The Present (2009 film) has been deleted. The A7 criteria specifically excludes products of people (such as books, albums, etc) are excluded and I would assume the etc. would include films. Anyways, the article should be considered notable because the lead actor has worked with famous musicians such as Britney Spears and Mariah Carey and one of the co-stars, George Nozuka is a current R&B singer in Canada with #1 singles to his credit. I would like to have my article reposted or at least an explanation of why it was "speedily deleted". Thank you.

In response to your comments (I wasn't sure where to reply so I chose here), I am not affiliated with the film. I simply thought that those who were fans of the short films and music videos of Jesse Grce might be interested in knowing that he was in the process of creating a feature film. Additionally, I felt as though the large fan following that George Nozuka has might also be interested in knowing the upcoming film he will be co-starring in. True, I did cite the director's own website as well as a website about the film created by the director and the lead actor. But, according to the rules, "Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed." I highly doubt that any of the material published in my article will be challenged. Anyways, if it is, I am still following the guidelines as laid out in the section of the rules labeled as "self-published and questionable sources about themselves".

"the material used is relevant to the notability of the subject being discussed; it is not contentious; it is not unduly self-serving; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; there is no reasonable doubt as to who authored it; the article is not based primarily on such sources. "

I believe that my article does not break any of these seven rules.

1. The material is obviously relevant 2. It is definitely not contentious 3. How could it be self-serving if I (someone now affiliated with any aspect of the film) am creating the entry...The success of the film does not affect me in any way. 4. No person unrelated to the film is used in the wikipedia article for any reason. Everything from those sources is related to the production of this film. 5. No event unrelated to the film is used in these sources either. 6. The sources were undoubtedly authored by Jesse Grce and Falk Hentschel. 7. I will concede that as of the time the article was deleted, it was based primarily on these sources, but I was not near completion of the article when I stopped editing for the evening. At the completion of the article, there will be a plethora of sources that were not self-published.

In response to the "crystal ball" guidelines, I have not broken these rules. They state that you cannot insert your opinions and analysis, which I have not done, and that you cannot advertise which I have clearly not done. Otherwise I would have attempted to put information for investors, etc. on the website. I simply want fans of this director, these actors, the composer, etc. to be aware that a full length feature film that they will be contributing to is in the works.

In response to the SPAM guidelines, I do not believe that in any way, I promoted this film unfairly. I simply stated a synopsis of the plot and wrote about the cast and crew. I was not advertising for the movie, simply making the public aware of the film's existence.

Thank your for your consideration in this matter. I appreciate the work you put into deleting unworthy articles, but I do feel that my article was deleted unfairly. Please consider allowing me to recreate it. Thank you.

I see that you deleted it again. Can you please recreate it, because it doesn't fall under A7. Thanks TigerShark (talk) 14:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I understand, and I guess it might fail at AFD but I don't think that this is a speedy. Just out of interest, what is the consensus at AFD with regard to U-18 appearances? If you don't want to recreate it, do you object if I do? Thanks TigerShark (talk) 14:40, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you mind if I restore it? Thanks TigerShark (talk) 21:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Because the reasoning you give doesn't meet any of the speedy criteria, because if, once a consensus is reached, all future articles are speedy deleted there is no scope to change consensus, and because you haven't answered the question about representing England and Under 18. Cheers TigerShark (talk) 21:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I restored it. Will watch the AFD with interest! :) Thanks again TigerShark (talk) 21:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, just clarifying why the page was removed. It's not a vanity or hate page; the person in question is real (http://community.mediacorp.com.sg/TV/CS/blogs/calefare/default.aspx) and has been mentioned in another article (Calefare). Not a Hollywood star, but it's a TV show that just premiered on the main and most widely-watched English channel in my country (singapore). Dontsh000t (talk) 15:09, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppets of an account you blocked

On 5 August you blocked a user with the name Offered me the goods, I'm not paying for abusing multiple accounts. These accounts, created within the 10 minutes after that one was created ([7][8][9][10]) are almost certainly more sockpuppets of the same user: the names are all lines from the same song (one was changed slightly, probably to avoid the blacklist); as is an account created two minutes earlier: [11]. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 23:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

In the middle of those accounts there was another, [12], I didn't notice at first but this is a line from another song by Goldie Lookin Chain, and two accounts created later that day are the first two lines from that song: [13][14], and a few accounts with "sockpuppet" and "meatpuppet" usernames. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 00:01, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Article deletion

Please reconsider your deletion of the article that I posted. Deleting within seconds of my posting is rather curious.

I understand a different article on the same subject was deleted two years ago, but the subject does not deserve blacklisting.

If the movement appears in the Encyclopedia of American Religions (2008) edition), which it does, it warrants inclusion here.

--Odinlives (talk) 21:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

First, the Melton work, The Encyclopedia of American Religions, is an academic work by Dr. Gordon Melton. He would not include trivial or non-existent groups.

The new edition is not yet out, but I will send the page reference when my copy arrives.

Notice the Odin Brotherhood is listed by the Cult Awareness Network:

Cult Awarness Network

Also, this is a useful source:

Odinism and Asatru Library pdf files --Odinlives (talk) 01:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Contest the deletion? I really do not have the time to counter the arguments of the misinformed.

You seem to have no idea who Dr. Gordon Melton is--plus you seem to think that the Cult Awareness Network lists non-existent organizations.

So, why should I bother?

Out of curiosity, what are your credentials? Highest degree completed? Area of expertise?

Oriental Ruthlezz Boyz

Hi there. Thought I'd ask you as I often see you attending to things I tag for CSD. I came across this article whilst new page patrolling. I tried to rename it to Oriental Ruthless Boys, but got You cannot move a page to this location, because the new title has been protected from creation as a error. I figure therefore that this new version is an attempt to get round this. I can't find the article in the protection log, but I didn't know if you had special adminy powers that would help. I also found OrientalRuthlessBoys which seems to be another get around. I would tag them both for a speedy as a recreation of topic already deleted, but I can't find the deletion, but the fact that the page is protected implies to me at least that it has been. Hope you can help! --Ged UK (talk) 19:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Prod or Db?

Out of idle curiosity only - don't bother with an answer if you can think of anything better to do.

The Justin Dylan Mahabir asserted he was a leading expert on the philosophy of existence. This is is of course nonsense, as the total absence of sources to support it demonstrates. However, it appeared to be an assertion of notability so I tagged as a PROD instead of db-bio. It was then speedy-deleted.

I support the deletion - my question is if an article asserts genuine notability but the assertion itself appears plainly untrue, does it still qualify as an assertion of notability for speedy deletion purposes? Euryalus (talk) 04:58, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Whynatte Latte

I would like you to reconsider your deletion of my article "Whynatte Latte". I wrote the article similarly to the other energy drink pages on wikipedia including Redbull and Monster.

Was there a hangon template on this article? And did the author explain he was having trouble with English and was looking for help? And did he actually come to me for help? And did you delete the article before I could provide it?

I'm afraid, NawlinWiki, that you've just bitten a newbie so you get the trout. :P Should have userfied rather than deleting if you couldn't possibly hang on another minute.

Hi

I and a few others were wondering if, perhaps, you could stop locking the database now. As an editor who only pops on a few minutes at a time periodically throughout the day, it's become a nuisance to find about half of all my saves met with a locked database.

List of submissions to the 67th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film

What was your reasoning behind reverting the merge? "Sorry" isn't really helpful or informative. The former title gives the implication that these submissions are for the 67th iteration of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, which isn't true, as the Best Foreign Language Film award was created in 1956. The present title corrects that by indicating that the submissions are to the ceremony for the Best Foreign Language Film category. sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:26, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Re-protections

Erm... what? Is there a reason you're blocking thousands and thousands of editors on incredibly high-visible articles like Raccoon, etc.? --MZMcBride (talk) 02:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

So use rollback? The 'not safe' argument is entirely without merit in my mind. The large, large, large majority of our articles are open to editing by anyone. I see no reason to make an exception because someone used a particular list. They could have just easily used Special:Random or a list of shapes, colors, numbers, animals, states, countries, etc. We're a wiki; we should encourage open editing as much as possible. Vandalism on high-profile pages is expected and is easily combated by a high number of people watchlisting the articles. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:04, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

You're drastically missing the point. Look at this for example. What's the issue there? These re-protections need to stop. --MZMcBride (talk) 03:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

On that page, the issue is the edit summary: "This page slid to a new location due to the cum of a certain smaller-than-average giant.)" I'll stop for now -- we'll see what happens. NawlinWiki (talk) 03:11, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

I tend to agree with MZMcBride. Geometry (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) received only 2 vandal edits in the last week and one helpful IP edit. Seeing as its so easy to undo vandalism it seem that protection is detrimental to improving article quality.

Speedy deletion of ZEE Calvin

A tag has been placed on ZEE Calvin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. LAAFan 02:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Could you please explain why you placed a {{prod}} on Darold W. Killmer?

Could you please explain why you did not comply with the recommendations of the wikipedia's deletion policies and guidelines and leave me a heads-up when place the nomination?

When I went to save this note I got an edit conflict -- someone asked you for administrator intervention. I am surprised to learn you are an administrator -- because I thought the failure to leave heads-up when making nominations was a novices mistake.

Since you are an administrator maybe you could userify Darold W. Killmer to User:Geo Swan/Review/Darold W. Killmer?

Candidly, Geo Swan (talk) 20:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for userifying the article.

I like that the wikipedia is intended to be a cooperative project. Now my understanding is that contributors who have a concern about whether material from other contributors complies with policy are supposed to engage in a thoughtful, meaningful, civil dialogue. Isn't this why the deletion guidelines recommend that those nominating an article for deletion inform the contributor who started the article?

I remain mystified why you skipped this step.

I realize I didn't explicitly request this, but I assumed that when you userified the article you would userify its full contribution history. Is there any reason why you didn't do that? Could you please do so now? Geo Swan (talk) 13:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

You did apologize, and I didn't see that you had. I apologize in return. Geo Swan (talk) 21:42, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks alot for blocking that IP. II MusLiM HyBRiD II (talk) 23:45, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Move protection: Pink Floyd

Hello, I have questioned your move-protect of the article for Pink Floyd, on its talk page. If you can shed any light on why this action was taken, please make a post to that page. Thank you. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 15:43, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

(copy of comment added to Pink Floyd talk page): Thank you. The explanation is what I expected: there is a project underway to protect many pages in anticipation of trouble. It's too bad that we have these vandalism problems at WP; and maybe I'll have to eat crow if this article is moved by vandals. Hopefully the protection you are adding to other pages will not be permenant. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 18:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Toilet-claw

Hi
Could you have a look at User talk:Josh3580#Toilet-claw deletion—apparently a "toilet-claw" is an existing concept with primates. Since you deleted the article and I stumbled across that talk page you might want to rereview and potentially restore it.
Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 18:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Sources from newspapers

Hi! Was wondering if Wiki supports sources from newspapers (not online). Also, if a page is still under construction, why would Wiki delete the whole article? Do hope you could give some pointers. Thanks. --Lohmimmy (talk) 19:16, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alice Sola Kim

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Alice Sola Kim, 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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.

Semi-Protection of Reference Desk/Miscellaneous

There was a question by a very confused new user on the Help Desk as to why s/he couldn't add a question to the miscellaneous reference desk- could it be unprotected to avoid this? Or at least some sort of notice placed on the page to tell new users who have sincere questions why they can't edit the page? Thanks. --Alinnisawest,^{Dalek Empress} (extermination requests here) 17:15, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
FYI, I undid this edit to your talk page since it placed a {{Indefblockeduser}} at the top of it. Nonetheless you might want to follow up with the user's issue.

Propose short unprotection

Hi NawlinWiki, I noticed you were the one who semi-protected Reactions to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Well, after discussion, the article September 11, 2001 attacks was moved to September 11 attacks. After this, the decision was made to move 9/11 related articles to names that fall in line with the new name. I've managed to do a lot of them, but I can't move Reactions to the September 11, 2001 attacks due to its protection. We want to move it to Reactions to the September 11 attacks. So any chance you could unprotect it for a little bit so it can be moved there, then reprotect it if need be when it reaches its new location? Thanks if you can. By the way, was the protection due to the page being moved by Grawp a month ago? Deamon138 (talk) 22:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Looks like User:Aude has already done it. Sorry for wasting your time! Deamon138 (talk) 22:42, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Street Light Fortune: Got No Time - A7 speedy?

According to the AfD for this article it was about a film and so from my reaidng of the speedy delete rules not suitable for deletion under A7. I'm sure you had a good reason to speedy delete it and the associated articles but I'm slightly concerned about you using A7 to justify it as this may give new editors etc the impression that films can be tagged for A7 speedy delete - especially so as this reason is given not just in the deletion logs but also in the AfD result. Am I missing something about the article and A7 was appropiate? Dpmuk (talk) 15:14, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Most recently, they removed the {{Articleissues}} tag without comment or improvement ... I'd appreciate your intervention before we get to a WP:3RR edit war. :-)

Hi

Two things: First, can you unlock my talk page in case someone wants to use it at some point, since I'm unblocked? Second, what edits have I made that would make you "very suspicious" that I'm abusing multiple accounts? I've made no bones about the fact that this is a sock account... I said so with my very first edit. But there are valid reasons for using a separate account and as far as I know I haven't used it to do anything against the rules. Did I do something to tick you off? Keep your fork, there's pie (talk) 02:02, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Why The Deletion from my user page

I noticed you deleted a copy I made of the Buddhism article I created in the sandbox with a link on my user page. I intended to use this for various forms of testing and to preserve the coding of this article as it is now because many editors are always changing it. I've done this with other articles in the past.

If the sandbox isn't for testing then what in the world is it for? The Thin Man Who Never Leaves (talk) 03:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Overload (Swedish metalband)

You deleted a previous version of Overload (Swedish metalband). I just WP:PRODded it. Can you check the current version and see if it is substantially similar to the deleted version? If it is, G4 may apply. FYI, I also looked through the other Overload-related contributions by this article's editor. Unfortunately, I had to tag those that weren't already tagged as non-notable and prod those that weren't already proposed for deletion. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 00:23, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Huh?

You blocked a number of accounts with no contributions and create protected their talk pages. As far as I can tell the accounts are unused and unreferenced, so I'm curious how you conclude that they are abusing multiple accounts? Dragons flight (talk) 04:34, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I wouldn't have noticed except you were taking up a large portion of the protection log. Dragons flight (talk) 04:39, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Adaptive Audio Article Edit Request

I added {{request edit}} to the top and bottom of the Adaptive Audio article. There were some edits, though not many. Unlike Outlook, which has millions of pro/con sided users out there, Adaptive Audio does not have that sized knowledge base to work from. As you are one of the few that has edited the article, I wanted to invite you to make any changes you see fit. Can you do this please? I do not want the article to be dismissed simply because it is a new technology that so few know about, very few edit it and it gets deleted as a result.

Unprotecting Phun

Hi, I see that the page Phun has been deleted several times and is currently protected. I don't know much about the history of this, but I kindly ask that you unprotect it so that I can use it for the Phun program, rather than Phun 2D Physics Sandbox, which is an awkwardly long page name.

Phun has been downloaded nearly 1.5 million times, so it has a large number of users and is well known. The Phun video also has 1.5 million views and is one of the most watched in several categories. Most of our users are children and youth aged 9-17 and we're working closely with schools and educators to develop Phun further. We are also applying for trademark and logotype protection in several countries.

To avoid problems from the past history of the Phun page (whatever these problems are), I suggest that Phun is forwarded to the current page Phun 2D Physics Sandbox.

Sincerely,

Hornbill Systems

Hi. As the admin who previously deleted the above article could you have a look at the version that currently exists and the various contributors involved (including myself). If you believe the article is notable enough for inclusion and such would you mind contributing in someway or helping the main contributor to this version find the appropriate place to get help on creating a proper article on the subject? Thanks. Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Frost Salamander

Hello! :) Last year, Frost Salamander was nominated for deletion. At the time, there was no suitable page for this article to be redirected to, so based on the consensus, you deleted the article. I have created a new page, List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters (1977–1999), which would be a proper destination to merge and/or redirect the article to. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? BOZ (talk) 15:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

No, thank you!  :) BOZ (talk) 15:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
