etoro forex platform 2nd deletion

it seems you hardly give any thought to helping me understand what exactly needs to be improved in order for it to be ok with you, and just delete it before I get a chance to say anything. I was going to add more info in order to make it "more relevant" as you requested, but since I have no clue what qualifies as information and what qualifies as advertising according to your mysterious standarts, I left it at that point. When I came back to fix it, you already deleted it, that's no way to explain yourself. Wikipedia has thousends of articles about softwares, take for example this article which has a screenshot and a link to the company's homepage. I haven't posted any links or screenshots and haven't advertised anything, so any "it's an ad" arguments you might have - fail. now you say it's not notable, but instead of helping you just delete it. I am in the process of improving the article and turning it into something "more relevant" ( whatever that means, 'cos you don't explain anything ). maybe trying to explain how to write an article instead of deleting it without giving a proper explanation would be more fitting to your position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JeromeDaurdan (talkcontribs) 09:44, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

ViewOn.Tv deletion ?

Hi Pascal,

I'm confused. ViewOn.Tv is a system used in several countries with more than 4000 users (Not yet downloadable for some countries, but we are working on this). Like Joost, Babelgum companies I think this service has a place in Wikipedia, no ?

There is no difference, except we do not advertise in countries we do not support !

Maybe there is something we have to change in the page to have something more appropriate for encyclopedia ?

Please tell me

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Viewon01 (talkcontribs) 13:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Fake IP Block

Hello a user by the name of Davl103 has put a fake IP Block on my IP Page. HE HAS no admistrator privliges.Here is the evidence.63.3.10.1 18:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Um. Would it be considered a fake block? On a side note, I've had three e-mails about password change from Wikimedia, with someone from the above IP address wanting to change my password. Also, its not 63.3.10.1 IP page. It's 63.3.10.130 IP page. See this edit. Also. Thanks, Davnel03 14:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello there.

I see that you removed the speedy notice from the page, which of course was fair and proper as there is assertation of notability. I'm looking into whether or not this is a hoax, and my limited internet resources have left me dry so far. Considering you may have access to Lexus-Nexus or something of the sort, perhaps you might be able to find something? Otherwise I'm going to AfD the article in a couple days. I haven't given up hope, but there's little to be had left. Keegantalk 04:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Good deal. This makes for a good example of why hoaxes are not speedy candidates but nonsense is, and the separation of the two. Keep up the good work, Pascal. Keegantalk 03:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Need some help with a move

I was trying to clean up one of User:Beko120's junk page moves, but made a hash of it. I tried to rename the old (and better) page (which was then a redirect) to a temp name to enable moving the page back to the old name. I stupidly hadn't remembered that it would just create a double redirect situation. The page in question is currently named BBC CBBC Channel and I was trying to get it back to just CBBC Channel. There's now a page I created called CBBC Channel (temp) that should be deleted.

Sorry for fouling this up and for having to bother you. I figured you were the right guy since you put a block on this pinhead's accounts, so you have at least a passing familiarity with his games.

Thanks. Majorclanger 00:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Computer Builders Warehouse?

Hi Pascal,

Can you please explain why you would delete Computer Builders Warehouse, this company is the largest computer company in the state of michigan, you can check Intel, AMD, Microsoft website and find this company. The largest supplier of AMD in the Great Lakes Area. This company complies with the list of michigan based companies? This would be like deleteing Dell or Newegg.com or Tigerdirect from this website? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrbreslin (talkcontribs) 04:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

template under ANI - deletion

hi, you've recently delteted this template [1] which is mentioned as a prime example for a policy violation under these ANIs - [2], [3] and this AN [4].

i have no idea regarding the protocols on such deletions when a case about them is still in progress, and i would request that you - a person with the admin tools that allow looking into deletion history - consider giving the ANI case a serious look (there's a lot of material there) and consider giving a 3rd opinion.

Deletion of Fogo de Chão

Hi Pascal,

Last month you deleted this article that I created under CSD:G11. I believe that the deletion was not in order as the article was not spam or advertising (although some editors subsequent to myself had added in rather a lot about the menu) and should have been trimmed not deleted. Will you consider restoring the article? If you do and let me know I will trim out the spam and improve it. If not, I will list it at WP:DRV. Stifle (talk) 11:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Why??

Why did you ban User:Ps3ps3? That user did not commit any crime!! He is innocent and I command you to lift that ban or else! If you are wondering, I am not his friend, but protecting those who did nothing wrong. You are abusing your authority to ban other users. You are unjust and not fair! Think about it: Are you doing the right thing by banning those who are innocent?

Cheers, Goldenstatewarroirs 01:08, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Spot zoning

Hello, I removed redirect because the targeted article does not cover spot zoning. Spot zoning is sufficiently complex and distinguishable from zoning proper to warrant its own article. If it should be included into zoning later on after spot zoning article has been completed, then a merge would be appropriate.

After I removed the redirect I saw that you're an admin. Can you remove the vandalism banner? The editor who initially put it up did so in error, which he mentions on the article's talk page. Thank you.EECavazos 14:50, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

POV pushing by MoritzB

Hello. I think that User:MoritzB has gone too far. On Race and intelligence he inserted an extremely offensive quote from a Sunday Times interview with James D. Watson. I am sure that MoritzB is quite aware that the quote generated a furore in Britain with statements by government ministers and a cancelled event at the science museum in London. Watson was forced to retract the statement and make a public apology; yet the quote remained in the article. MoritzB quietly sat by without making further comment. I am appalled that an editor thinks that obvious unscientific tittle-tattle like this, from somebody who is well-known to be intentionally outspoken and provocative, is suitable for this encyclopedia. MoritzB has not responded on either the article discussion page or on his own talk page. It would seem from this that MoritzB has a definite racist agenda, which smacks of the far right. Can anything be done? --Mathsci 06:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

In reply to your comment on my talk page: I am far too busy in real life to do what you suggested. You did not do so yourself last time you made a report about MoritzB on WP:AN/I. Do special laws apply to you? --00:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathsci (talkcontribs)

I agree - while R&T isn't particularly well known, it's a very significant label in the mid-90s indie scene as it was the US label for a number of significant UK & Canadian bands, and the article doesn't seem particularly spammy - I'll userify it to User:Chubbles/Razor & Tieiridescent 15:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: Deletion of Fit-PC

You cited "Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote some entity and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." But you excised the following sentence, "Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." And that's all it was. The page was deleted months before, at which point it was advertising (not my creation at that time). The page I put up was simply information. It contained not a single value judgment regarding the quality of the product. Please undelete. Lucy1981 07:13, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
