BasicATOM

I'm not sure I understand your quick delete of the page? We edited per your suggestion and were getting ready to add new relevant data? The BasicATOM page is linked by several other page. The page was about a processor that has been around since 1998 and is well accepted in the robotics community as the defacto standard for inverse kinematics.

I would of thought that several other pages linked to the BasicATOM page it would have relevances? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.45.50.237 (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Please log in before talking to me. The subject received a reasonably clear delete decision in December. Yes there are incoming links but they are little more than "see also"s. Given the AfD decision, I was amused at the edit summary "creating new page with correct content for the subject" - surely providing references to reliable sources would have been highly desirable "correct content"? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm logged in now. So what do we need to do? Yes its a commercial product but so is a Basic Stamp, PICAxe and Arduino which all have simliar pages. As to referrences material what do you need? If I understand it correctly a simple example would be a youtube video of a robot called A-POD. It has over 800,000 views and was made using the BasicATOM See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jyBiECoS3Q . Then there is this video using the same processor with 27,000 views. If you go to google.com and type in "led display" its one of the main videos google cites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nILHGU1qJzY

If these aren't relevant then help me to understand? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Basicmicro (talkcontribs) 21:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Also the pages that do link. How does the "See Also" get generated? If this is user based, why would someone link to something irrelevant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Basicmicro (talkcontribs) 01:15, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Writing "if you Google …" is sheer idleness - read this. No, youtube videos are not reliable sources! My point about the two incoming links was that neither page says very much about your product. But feel free to create a new draft in user:Basicmicro/sandbox and raise the matter at deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 02:09, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I guess I don't understand what you mean by reference. When I see what Basic Stamp or PICaxe has for reference or links, its not much more if any? Do I need a link to some websites? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Basicmicro (talkcontribs) 02:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

  • At last, I think you are getting it! By reference, I mean links to independant, reliable websites. The BASIC Stamp article has a couple of these. I would comment on PICaxe if you could manage to link to it. But in any case OSE is not an argument. We need references for your product. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:31, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok I understand. Theres plenty of those. Can I restore the page we started? I can add the links and some pics immediately.

Proposed deletion of Taguzgalpa

I've removed the deletion for now, and explained this in the article's talk page. Please get back to me there or on my talk page if you want to discuss it further. I plan to expand a bit more on it, but perhaps not in the next seven days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beepsie (talkcontribs) 21:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

  • If you ain't going to fix it quickly, it would be better userfied. I have moved it to User:Beepsie/Taguzgalpa. Your first task is to provide links to on-line RSs. Incidentally, please learn about redirects - you posted the same text to three different spellings. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:46, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Now I'm confused. Since when are on-line RS's the ones we need. I gave a printed, published university press source, which strikes me as reliable as any on line source. Certainly this stipulation (an on line source) is not in the RS page, indeed just the opposite, the idea of a published source is what is critical.

I can add some more paragraphs and references, but they will also be from printed, published sources, mostly scholarly articles and university press sources in Spanish and English. Can you look at the revised product and sign off on it's retention for me. Sorry about the other spellings, I was deciding which one to use, and entered one in error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beepsie (talkcontribs) 12:54, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I have modified the article and included several new references including on-line ones. Please let me know if you are convinced that this place existed, and that it is not simply another name for Tegucigalpa. Beepsie (talk) 14:40, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I would like some reassurance that you are either convinced or unconvinced that Taguzgalpa was a real place and not a misnomer for Tegucigalpa, and that therefore we can restore the article to its place in Wikipedia. I will do additional work on it now, but I am concerned that this work will be wasted if the article remains deleted. I might add that a Google search on the place name, reveals quite a large number of hits of this place with this spelling, and unambiguously the province lying on the Atlantic coast of Honduras and not its interior capital region. A search of archival materials in PARES, the portal for the Archivio General de Indias, also reveals quite a few documentary sources pertaining to it. Beepsie (talk) 11:23, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

  • No, I am not yet convinced. I would like to see: a) if possible, a map showing the area, b) mention of Tegucigalpa - does it lie within the area of Taguzgalpa? Explain the similarities between the two names. c) Above all, external links to reliable sources in English. The work does not need to be wasted - you can always publish it on your own website. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:31, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

I have attempted to address your criticisms of the Taguzgalpa entry. I am not able to find a public domain map of the region, and lack the technical capacity to produce my own. I think it unreasonable to demand that an article have a map or illustration in order to qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia. There are hundreds, if not thousands of articles about geographic places that lack maps. I have included a discussion of the possible conflation of Tegulcigalpa/Taguzgalpa in the opening paragraph, and have translated the relevant and apparently decisive argument of Alberto Membreno for it. I am not able to locate articles in English that are fully accessible on the web to link this to, though there are ample printed sources on it. I think it unreasonable for us to be required to have English language material that is both on the web and qualified as RS for a Spanish speaking area in Latin America. Cuddy and Newson are both English language and reliable. Newson's work is anchored in a wide range of archival material, and Cuddy works from archaeology, the other Spanish language material uses a great deal of original source material. Most of the references that I found through a Google search are to GoogleBooks limited previews, and again, in Spanish. I don't have a website on which to mount this article, a briefer treatment on it will appear in my book on the history of the Atlantic basin when Cambridge University Press publishes it.Beepsie (talk) 13:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

  • OK, go ahead and publish. A map is not mandatory but would greatly help. Likewise links to online resources are not mandatory but would help. You seem almost allergic to providing them. There are a reasonable number of Google hits on Taguzgalpa - surely some are worth linking to? It would also be good if it could be translated into Castellano - it already has an incoming link. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:44, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
You appear to have acted hastily here on your mistaken assumption that the five syllable place name is the same as the four syllable Taguzgalpa. Your demands for maps and online references exceed the requirements of Wikipedia and I am asking you to revert your mistaken deletion. Thread on this at WP:EAR#Dispute over deletion of Taguzgalpa. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 18:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
  • What are the first words of my post immediately above? Furthermore, I did not delete. I userfied. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:10, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Glanfield Hospitalité Trust

Please can you provide me with the text, and I'll make sure it's not direct from the website. I'm a Trustee of the charity, so was still in the middle of editing it. THANK YOU. Matt (talk) 14:32, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Done, but: you will have to work hard to demonstrate the notability of this trust and having declared your COI, should you be writing about this at all? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey, can someone get my back?

I was just attacked on this AFD, basically being accused of liberal bias sockpuppetry. All I did was patrol a new article. This attack was unwarranted. — Timneu22 · talk 14:48, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Just ignore it. If you feel that your attacker is acting consistently like that, go to WP:ANI. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
    • Dude, you're waaay late. The user apparently has a history, it's at ANI and a block seems apparent. — Timneu22 · talk 17:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Sophie Stratford

Hello Rhaworth, I noticed that you deleted the article of Sophie Stratford. I feel that this action was inappropriate as she is quite widely known even if you aren't familiar with her work. She is regularly printed in a number of publications with wide reaches. Sophie is also cited in a number of band's wikipedia pages referencing her published reviews. I feel your decision should be reviewed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.63.193.29 (talk) 08:45, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Please log in before talking to me. Slovenly is the best way to describe your submission. Not a single external link to show that she exists, let alone that she is notable - you could not even manage a link to her website. No DoB, no category, no wiki markup. If she is cited on other pages, then you should have gone round and converted those citations into links so that Special:WhatLinksHere/Sophie_Stratford would not be empty. You probably are Sophie and so should not be writing about her. But if you create a new draft at user:Skippintown/sandbox, I will consider it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:10, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Caught in the Crossfire deletion

Hello, You are the main participant in the deletion of a used article under Caught in the Crossfire. I would like you to explain the A7 rule further as it is too vague? LukeeeeBennett (talk) 23:10, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Never mind notability, your hangon argument: "… fans to gain a wider understanding on us" gave me licence to delete it as blatant advertising. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 05:32, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

seins nus

In re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Blonde with Bare Breasts. A decent enough nomination, but I've been working on the article... I even found a review in NRC Handelsblad of its Netherlands world premiere. What started as an unsourced and rather sterile article,[1] is now somewhat expanded, now sourced, and properly encyclopedic. And I am grateful that the author stopped in to correct my translation from Dutch[2] Maybe we're edging toward a keep of The Blonde with Bare Breasts? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:58, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, a follow-up question:

As the film has only had release as La blonde aux seins nus, and in that name is where it has sourcable notability, is there a appropriate that we use an English title for a film that does not (yet) have an English release? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

  • The sad thing is that it need an AfD nomination to get anybody to turn it into a decent article. To avoid confusion, leave it on the English title until the AfD is closed, then by all means move it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:44, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
    Will do, and thanks. --Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
  • And in aditional good news, aside from the NRC Handelsblad review, a Variety review popped online a few hours ago. It is now included too. I will ask User:Ambrust to revisit the article. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Settlers Hills Residents Association

RHaworth, I'm a little disappointed by your deletion of my article. I am simply trying to help my Not for Profit Community organisation put it's history and other information online. I would understand it if it were a commercial operation but the shra is not. It plays an important role in my community. This is useful information for locals and I'd like anyone that can benefit from the shra to be able to find us.

Let me know how I am able to alter the entry to suit the wiki guidelines. Thankyou. --Jflunder (talk) 06:09, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

  • I am very disappointed that someone should write a badly formatted article, using first person and with no evidence of notability and after that have the cheek to think that Wikipedia would accept it. I doubt whether you will have much joy at deletion review. But you can try. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 07:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Round bottom shoe

Just a heads up that I've declined your speedy request at Round bottom shoe and referred the article instead to Afd. cj | talk 09:59, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

RHaworth, I would appreciate your comment on the AFD. Note that I have updated the article since you last saw it, which I hope gives a better and unbiased perspective of the subject. Donama (talk) 13:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Storm Front (disambiguation)

Hi. You deleted Storm Front (disambiguation) as an implausible redirect, although I had added {{hangon}} and explained its purpose. There are 2 disambiguation pages Stormfront and Storm Front. Stormfront has a "see also" section linking to Storm Front. Deliberate links to disambiguation pages should link through the pagename (disambiguation) redirect as this ensures they are seen as deliberate and don't need to corrected. This is all outlined at WP:INTDABLINK. Please could you reconsider your deletion. Thanks. Tassedethe (talk) 19:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

  • The choice or not of linking via the (disambiguation) redirect is of course up to the individual editor. But my choice to create that redirect and use it in line with the guidelines does not make it by any stretch of the imagination implausible. The guidelines specifically state that such redirects should be created and used. Verbal's reversion of my edit I assumed was done without knowledge of this particular guideline. I regard your comment about my useful activity as plain rude. Tassedethe (talk) 19:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Citrus framework

Hi Roger, why did you delete the "Citrus framework" - Site? ...can i recreate it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aby74 (talkcontribs) 10:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

  • How on earth could I delete your site? I did delete your Wikipedia page. Recreate? You cannot be serious. Created by a blatant SPA. Large parts copied from a page marked "© 2008-2010 ConSol* Consulting&Solutions GmbH". No attempt made to provide independant evidence of notability. You can try deletion review but don't expect much joy. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:20, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

I can't find the right speedy template.

I'm not sure which speedy tag belongs on this page, but can you delete it? You deleted the article as I was nominating it for AfD. Thanks. APK whisper in my ear 11:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Once raised and linked from the log, it is best not to delete AfD discussions. In a case like this it would have been perfectly OK for you to close the discussion in the way that I have just done. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
Ah, ok. Thanks for the tip. APK whisper in my ear 11:41, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

citrus - link

Hi Roger (again), ok, you deleted the site maybe both for reasons about relevance and copyright (but i have the permission). But why did you delete the link i added? thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aby74 (talkcontribs) 11:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Where is your evidence of copyright permission? But it don't matter. Your sole presence here is to advertise your company and its product. Please desist. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:39, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

ok, if you delete everything i add i'll desist it. but... why did you delete the harmless link to a free opensource tool, ...there's no idea of profit, just "giving sth. back" as it uses other free technologies, too. About copyright: thought the check of my ip-address (...hostname-lookup) is enough. Well, as wikipedia-policy says there mustn't be articles about companies which are not notible and you don't delete the other links "next to mine". Because they are "older"...? Or sould i consider you have a personal problem with me? why didn't you delete the other links or (commercial) products of the issue-tracker site or the whole site? An other admin wrote me wikipedia has not the time to delete these kind of pages as you haven't enough manpower, but this case let me suppose that there are some other reasons... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aby74 (talkcontribs) 12:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Absolutely nothing personal. For some reason info. on IP addresses of logged-in users is restricted to a very limited group of Wikipedians. Please leave it until an experienced, disinterested editor thinks your product is notable and writes about it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:09, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Copmeiste

I have seen your comments at User talk:Copmeister#Tratos Page Removal. While I don't disagree with any of what you said, I think the way you expressed it may have rather been biting the newcomer. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Waaaay too speedy

You deleted an article that is all over the news. I didn't create the article but I saw the speedy tag and put a hangon on it to try and save it. I had added three sources to it and it turns out you deleted it anyway. Sheesh....at least check the news before you click that mouse. Google Gustus Bozarth and you'll see what I mean. :( Pianotech (talk) 01:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Incidentally, I'd like to point out that many db templates suggest checking Google, news, etc, before deleting. Just saying :) In this case, the original tagger would have seen that this is a current event news story being covered nationally. With all due respect, I feel automatically writing off suggestions to Google something, while well-intended, might be counter-productive, especially given that speedy templates suggest doing that very thing. Respectfully, Pianotech (talk) 12:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC) The article (no longer exists) is Gustus Bozarth I understand notability. Gustuz Bozarth is all over the news because he is a homeless man who braved the elements to rescue an Amerian flag that had been blown down. It wouldn't irk me so much if I wasn't feverishly adding sources to the article after placing the hangon in an attempt to save it. I added inline citations to Fox News, WBRZ, and another news station. Pianotech (talk) 01:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

  • I have had several cases of people failing to read what I have written recently. I must review to see if I need to word things more carefully. Where did I "automatically write off suggestions to Google"? My words read this above were a link. Did you follow that link. All I was doing was objecting to your simply saying "Google Gustus Bozarth and you'll see what I mean" instead of providing the proper link. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I don't think you need to word anything more carefully, I just think it was more of a misunderstanding on my part. You know, I think it's more about getting a canned "read this" in response more than anything. The first things that stand out on the page after clicking are the words "moans" and "Google this," and so I think it was just a bit off-putting. But, you've been pretty patient and I appreciate it. Learned to discern between notability and newsworthiness also, largely thanks to you and the article's AFD thread. I'm glad I learned something, so thank you. :) Pianotech (talk) 20:34, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pianotech (talkcontribs) 01:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Why on earth did you not remove the speedy tag. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Excellent question, for which I have no good answer. I could have done that, looking back. In any case, you were very gracious to restore the article and give it a chance; I do appreciate it. :) I'll accept what the consensus decides. All the best, and thanks again! Pianotech (talk) 02:16, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

May I recreate the article's talk page? The page is there but has a "previously deleted" warning on it with instructions to ask the admin. Talk:Gustus_Bozarth Thanks, Pianotech (talk) 11:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Talk page restored. Sorry, that was an oversight. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for giving the article a shot and for taking the time to discuss. :) Looks like it will be deleted, but I learned a lot from the whole thing. Best of luck in the future! Pianotech (talk) 22:12, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

My Darkest Days

This band is notable. This band is getting lots of airplay in Canada. Maybe not the US, but they are very notable in Canada. So I'm asking you to unprotect it so I can create it. Thanks. -- Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 01:46, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Most people writing articles about bands do at least give links to their Facespace and Mybook pages. This article could not even manage that. Take it to deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

They have a a Major record deal (that alone is enough for an article) and here is their myspace [3]. I'm an experienced editor I know the guidelines. This band is touring with Sick Puppies they have an Island Def Jam label, their main single has a remix with Chad Kroeger and with Ludacris with music videos with them. link here [4] Videos rated 18 and over so you'll need a youtube account. It also has 250 000 views.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

May I also suggest you do a google search before you determine notability on articles. I found all this with a google search.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Just unprotect. I'll create it and you'll see it's notability.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

This is unbelievable. The band is clearly notable you know it and I know it. You're wasting my time with deletion review. The band is a notable band my article that I would create is here User:Everyone Dies In the End/My Darkest Days. You just ignore me like I'm a nobody and it's getting on my nerves. I'm sick of admins that think they are always right and don't listen to other editors. I have proven to you that they are notable. Can you name any non notable person that has done a calibration with Ludacris or Chad Kroeger. How about the significant air time they are getting in Canada. How about all the independent converge they get. (Which you'd would know if you google'd thing). You would know there notability is you google'd them in the first place, but I guess you don't want to learn from your mistake another thing that gets on my nerves with some admins. They think their always right (not all just a select few. I've met about 5 here and that includes you). How I'm being treated right now is really getting on my nerves. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 07:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

One more thing, I also do speedy deletion patrol and everytime there's a bio I google search them to make sure they are notable, since new editor tend to just create articles with a sentence and leave. Something you could learn to do.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 08:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

You also lied to my face. You said the article you deleted didn't have myspace links or anything. You lied straight to my face. It is really unbelievable that you lied to me to try to make a point.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 08:15, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

This band has also opened for Three Days Grace, Default, Theory of a Deadman, and Papa Roach. Three of them are big Canadian band and this band is also getting the same converage as they do on the radio in Canada. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 09:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Another accusation such as the above that I have been lying will get you blocked for downright invicility. The version which I deleted contained no external links. Yes, earlier versions deleted by others did have links. Any admin. will confirm this. The really unbelievable thing is that you continue to rant here and at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. In the time you have been doing that you could have raised the matter three times at deletion review - the proper place for discussion. What is your objection to going to deletion review? Please answer. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:29, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Saying that you lied will get me blocked. Total BS. The revesion you mailed me is right here,
"Deleted revision of My Darkest Days (as of 2010-06-22, at 20:57:56) by DRob91
The band can be found at www.mydarkestdays.com or at www.myspace.com/mydarkestdays.
I see the link. I am lying or are you? If you lied and I have a right to say it. So don't tell me I'll be blocked because I won't. Now, why should I take it to deletion review? The band you deleted on June 23 wasn't getting airplay or nothing. That deletion I have no problem with. It's the fact that they ARE notable now. They have gotten over 300 000 views on their single that was releases on June 29th, they are getting major radio airplay since that date and independent coverage. So tell me why so I go to deletion review when I don't oppose the delete on June 23rd since that band had none of those things then but does now not to mention deletion review is to oppose the deletion of a page IE the June 23rd version which I don't.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 22:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
The band's single "porn star dancing' is also 62 on the itunes most download video list. As of a few days ago. This band is notable now. On June 23rd they weren't. They are on the itunes top 100 music videos at 62. This is more than enough to satisfy WP:Band. Maybe you should have listened to me in the first place instead of giving me your self-made template messages. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 00:17, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
I wouldn't have ranted if you learn how to treat other editors with respect. You give editors your self made template messages, which wikipedia guidelines clearly say that template messages should only be given to inexperienced editors. Learn to treat other editors with respect and listen to them instead of thinking highly of yourself and ignoring them.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 00:24, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
  • The Bridge Mark is a link; rhaworth.com/brdgmark is not a link. Can you see the difference? Why go to deletion review? Simply because that is the best place for discussing things which are claimed to have become notable. You were told more than once at RPP to go to DRV - why try and insist on a different procedure? To put it firmly: I am not going to unprotect so stop asking me. You now have SlimVirgin (talk · contribs) on your case. He/she is an admin so if you really are allergic to DRV, try asking him/her. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:55, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Wow, you really are something. You are so headstrong that you can't admit when you are wrong. You really are something. You can't even discuss anything. It's unbelievable how you are an admin. You really need to learn how to treat other editors with respect. You have not taken listened to one word I said. PS you said it could muster a myspace link. It had it. It just wasn't formatted properly. THat's your excuse. Unbelievable. You can't even admit when you're wrong. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Outer Core deletion

Wow, deletion for "multiple", but unspecified, reasons? I figured the page was probably bad, because it was written by an enthusiastic but clueless newbie, but I thought the idea wasn't "delete everything the newbie writes so he goes away and leaves us our fief". I found out he'd written it, and came by to see if it was fixable. Now I can't even find out why other than "multiple reasons", because you didn't specify them.

The primary was probably because it was promotional. That's because the game author wrote the page, and he's a little close to the subject. That could be fixed. It's not like it was a BLP, and harmful or libelous.

The game is notable because: A) It is written on a Linux platform, not Windows like so many others. B) While it is not open source, there is a surprising amount of player/developer feedback and cross-fertilization going on. C) It was developed initially as an alternative/protest/improvement to another game whose admins were being unresponsive.

Very few browser games get written up in the mainstream media unless they screw up on people's privacy, IME.

  • Outer Core is a redirect and has no deleted edits behind it. You have no deleted edits so I cannot trace that way. So tell me what you are talking about and I might reply. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:36, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant Outer Core Game - not the Outer Core of the planet, but the game by that name. Its web home is http://www.outer-core.com/, and there are several numeric ratings on gaming sites (but no decent text reviews of it, or much of anything, I fear.) I did not write the initial page - the game author did, and I was going to come by and de-commercialize it (his game is good, but he is a noob concerning wikipedia.)

  • Might be an idea to propose a mod to bring the reasons given in ((tl|db-multiple}} through to the deletion log automatically. The reasons were: {{db-a7}} and {{db-g11}}. I fully believe in helping clueless newbies who have no COI. But spammers receive very short shrift from me. Feel free to try and rescue it. None of the three reasons you give above indicate notability to me. But if you can find a reliable source that thinks the game is notable for these reasons, by all means add it. Note that the title should be Outer Core (game). — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 02:58, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Heh. The guy doesn't know the difference, really, since all the other sites just take his blurb and have people rate it. I agree with you on the title, BTW, the other was just not right.
I know there is a plain list of browser MMOs, with real time, turn based, fps and strategy, that wants an "article" to list a game, but I'm not sure that is the best way to address the genre. However, the only games that seem to get articles, and thus listed, seem to be the ones that generate controversy or have been around for so long that they are moldy. The question is, should such games even be their own articles, or should there be an article "Space Strategy Real Time Browser Games" covering several? Any game that subsequently stuck it's foot in it could then get its own article from the controversy, but otherwise they could be discussed as a group, compare and contrast features, etc. Easier to get a NPOV article that way.

  • I thought I e-mailed you the text. I have just e-mailed another copy. The criterion for creating an article is perfectly standard: "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself". And usually if a game does not qualify for its own article, it will not qualify for inclusion in any "list of" articles either. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 07:32, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

My Darkest Days

Hi RH, I'm thinking of taking My Darkest Days to deletion review, but I wanted to check with you first, as the deleting admin, in case you thought it okay to unprotect the page now and let it be added. The article has improved a little, and the band is perhaps a little more notable than it was when the page was deleted—though I'm not familiar with how notable bands need to be. You can see the current version at User:Everyone Dies In the End/My Darkest Days. It's a judgment call, so I'm happy to defer to you either way. Cheers, SlimVirgin talk|contribs 02:20, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

  • I am utterly fed up with this subject. I would prefer it if: a) you insisted that Everyone Dies In the End (talk · contribs) (EDIE) should raise the DRV and b) the article is not unprotected until the DRV is closed. But really I no longer care - do what you like. Please review EDIE's messages above and, if you feel they overstep the bounds of wikicivility, tell them. 02:42, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
I never step any bounds. How about your incivility of ignoring an editor completely. eep ignoring me all you want. I have proven to you that they are notable and all you do is ignoring me. Is that being civil? I think not. You just want your way and refuse to admit you are wrong ever. Don't accuse me of being uncivil until you look at yourself. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 03:26, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Well the band's single is now number 9 on the itunes Rock Songs in Canada. It's also 62 in the world for music videos. I've been trying to tell him that they are now notable, but he refuses to listen to me and just ignores me. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

We can take it to DRV if you like, though the outcome isn't clear, because it's a bit borderline. For that reason I think you shouldn't be hard on RHaworth. This kind of thing can go either way. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 03:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

The problem I have is with his attitude. He doesn't respond to me. He ignores me and accuses me to be uncivil when he himself ignores editors. I have looks at this guys history and he has a history of biting newcomers and not treating editors with respect, yet they don't say anything back. This is my problem. We could have easily had a nice discussion here, but he choose to be rude and ignore me. That's my problem. This user needs to learn to treat editors with respect. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 04:35, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Also, under WP:Band this band satisfifies number 1, number 2 (since it's on the itune most download rock song at 9), number 4, number 11, and number 12 (they did an interview for etalk which has yet to air though). "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria" that's wikipedia guidelines. This band satisfies 4 or 5 (if you inclueE the etalk interview). Way more that the one it says. I have said this countless times to this user yet he continues to ignore me. This user needs an attitude change--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 04:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I consider that I have been remarkably patient in replying to every one of your messages. Please be specific: which of your remarks have I ignored. "Nice discussion" - of what? I keep telling you to go to DRV. What else is there to discuss? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 05:57, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
When I tried to prove to you their notability all you said ranted about google and completely ignored what I said. Then when I called you out on how the band does have it's own website you went and changed the subject on formatting again not addressing the fact that they are notable and also saying I'll be blocked when for saying you lied which you did. Telling someone that'll they'll be blocked for doing something thats not against wikipedia guidelines is apparently fine for you to do. Most admins would remove the protection if you show them the band is notable. Most don't ask for deletion review unless it's the same editor who created the one they deleted.That's why I never went to deletion review because I can easily prove they are notable, but you never ever made one case of them being not notable. All you did is rant about google, and go to deletion review. If you consider this patient, I think you need some work to do. Also, The fact that you protected an article that was created by 4 different editors is beyond me as well. Wikipedia guildlines on salting says, "This is useful for articles that have been deleted but repeatedly recreated by an editor" notice the 'an. Salting is done for articles that are repeatedly created by the same editor or BLP issues. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 06:38, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Leave page alone

There's nothing wrong with the Tehachpai Unified School District page, so you need to leave it alone. By the way, you even took of the infobox, so just leave the page alone. There wasn't anything wrong with it, until you started editing it. (JoeCool950 (talk) 21:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC))

By the way, I was told that there wasn't anything wrong with the pages, so you just need to leave the Tehachapi Unified School District page alone. I'm going to put a tag on the stuff that's copyright, so I can work on whoever wrote that stuff, but just leave the page alone. Don't take off the infobox again. (JoeCool950 (talk) 21:20, 10 July 2010 (UTC))

Er, a colon? Monsieur le Duc LouisPhilippeCharles

I fail to see how this helps anyone! Monsieur le Duc LouisPhilippeCharles

Just give me a reason

Just give me a good reason why you reverted the page back on Tehachapi Unified School District. You never responded to my message. Just need to know why? I was told there was nothing wrong with that stuff on there. If you could give a good reason, I would appricate it. If I don't hear from you by (Sunday), then that stuff will be back up there, since there's nothing wrong with it. If you could give me a good reason, that would help on keeping the stuff off that's in violation. The stuff that's that the person didn't copy will be back up there at some point, but I need you reason why you reverted all that. You even reverted the infobox, which shouldn't be reverted. Just give me a reason, then we'll be cool. (JoeCool950 (talk) 02:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

Even if it was not copied from the schools' websites, it looked like it was. But mainly it was unencyclopedic. Do you really think that we need to know, for example, that printing is 2 pages FREE and then 5 cents per page? How many other articles here use the first person? "What we offer" indeed! Also the page should be little more than a list of the schools.
So will you please: study some of the thousands of school articles we have here to see the style, create a separate article for each school that does not have one and, above all, use your own words. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 03:37, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I left the user that put all that stuff a message. Wasn't me that wrote all that stuff. I'm actually working on it in my sandbox (User:JoeCool950/Sandbox), to make it sound like it's not copied. If you go to the history, you can see that I gutted out what this person added at the beginning of the page, because I know that was copied. (JoeCool950 (talk) 06:40, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

I actually reverted back to how you had it. Kind of feel the middle school and three elementary schools don't need to be linked to the school websites, but getting another editors opinion. Took off the [[]], since the schools don't have an article because of the red link. If the other editor agrees with that, then we'll keep it like that. Just wanted to make you aware. By the way, in my edit on my sandbox, I gutted out the stuff about the printing and 5 cent per page. I don't know who wrote that, or copied that. I know it wasn't me. I'll have to go back under the "history" to tell who the user was. I know on the "history" the user that put all that stuff in was user:9 something. I gutted out what he put at the beginning, because if you go to where that user started putting that stuff on, at the beginning of the page, before all the schools, what he had on there was clearly copyrighted. I know that, because that's what I had on there, when I started the page myself, that's how I know. So I totally gutted that out. I'm working on the other stuff, so that it doesn't sound copyrighted. If it still does, once I finish and put it up, let me know and I'll take that stuff off. Just got to come to some of an agreement though o.k. Glad you could contribute to the article. What I have though on my sandbox User: JoeCool950/Sandbox, don't take that stuff off, that can be up there. (JoeCool950 (talk) 07:14, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

  • See talk:Tehachapi Unified School District. Re User: JoeCool950/Sandbox: it is inching very slowly to being encyclopedic. Obviously cut out the "what we offer", "our mission" and "goals" stuff: trite and no different from thousands of other schools. But I repeat: this belongs in separate articles for each school, not in the school district article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 07:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I'll keep working it in User: JoeCool950/Sandbox,but look at the sandbox right now. Just to let you know, the school names shouldn't be redlinked. I had a user that fixed the redlinked, and now you undid all of that. So, PLEASE. If this other user feels it shouldn't be redlinked, then don't worry about those. Thanks. (JoeCool950 (talk) 07:37, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

  • "I had a user that fixed the redlinked" - please provide a link to this edit. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 07:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

He fixed the Monroe High School (Tehachapi) page that was redlinked, so the other ones that don't have articles can stay redlinked, or not redlinked. It shouldn't really matter. Although, a lot of the school pages for the school names don't have the schools redlinked. There are some that do. If our district had more schools, then it wouldn't really matter. In my opinion, the schools that don't have articles shouldn't be redlinked though. We can leave them though, because that would help. (JoeCool950 (talk) 08:10, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

Golden Hills Elementary School

You can take a look at this page and let me know if it looks o.k. for now. I fixed it up kind of how you did with the Tompkins Elementary School article. (JoeCool950 (talk) 08:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC)). The other pages I'll have to work on and gut more to make it make sence for a article. (JoeCool950 (talk) 08:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

  • Sorry, nowhere near OK. Have you seen Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Golden Hills Elementary School? It was deleted once for being too short. The present state runs the same risk. Did you see my suggestions in Tompkins Elementary School? A photo! {{coord}} tag. When was it founded? how many pupils? how many staff? These are all basic info. which you can easily add. Please go and find five good articles about intermediate and elementary schools in Southern California - you will soon see what is needed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Could you delete my user page, don't want it anymore. (JoeCool950 (talk) 21:45, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

I would though, like access to the stuff that I had on my userpage. Just put in my sandbox. Thanks. (JoeCool950 (talk) 22:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

You need to put the stuff I had on my user page in my sandbox for me!!! You're making me miss a concert because of all your trouble. If I miss the concert, I'll just blame you!!! (JoeCool950 (talk) 22:35, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

Would you be able to explain to me about a photo tag (I'm guessing you mean a picture of the school in an infobox). I tried a photo tag template, but I'm guessing, that's what you are not talking about. If you could let me know, we can save it from being deleted. I'll have to look at some of the other school pages, to get an idea. (JoeCool950 (talk) 03:23, 12 July 2010 (UTC))

  • My suggestion above was two separate things: a photo (one thing) and a {{coord}} tag (another thing, quite different). Please upload your photos to the Commons. Once uploaded, I shall be happy to add them to articles for you. Similarly, if you promise not to vandalise them, I am happy to add a {{coord}} tag to any school article you do. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 06:25, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Question

Could I ask a favor, could you find out who User: 98.149.193.235. By the way, it's not me, I just left the person a message, because if you look at the Tehachapi Unified School District page, you can see what I definitely took out and shouldn't be put back in. I was just wondering. He hasn't edited in awhile, so need to contact him on vandalism, but just need to find out if this is an actual user, because if so, need to see if he's vandalized any other pages. I left a message on his talkpage, that wasn't even created. By the way, I know it wasn't me, because this would be mine, if it was User: 76.88.198.90, if I wasn't logged in. Just found out on my sandbox. So, just to make it easier to kind of pinpoint. (JoeCool950 (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

  • In this area I have very little more info than you. I can confirm that User: 98.149.193.235 has no deleted edits. You can see Special:Contributions/98.149.193.235 which shows that this IP address has edited just one article. At the bottom of that page you will see a link to WHOIS, in this case WHOIS 98.149.193.235. Now here is the very interesting thing: WHOIS 76.88.198.90 is exactly the same ISP! Even broadband IP addresses change from time to time. Are you sure that 98.149.193.235 was not you back in January? If not how do you explain the co-incidence? Where is 76.88.198.90 - school or home? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:32, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Autumn Offering

Hello! I noticed you recently speedily deleted The Autumn Offering, and I was curious why you thought this article was a candidate for speedy deletion? The band meets several criteria at WP:BAND, and WP:CSD#A7 states that the "criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance." I feel that PROD or AFD would have been a a more appropriate route of deletion for this article. Fezmar9 (talk) 17:26, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

  • The remarkable thing was that despite five years and 247 edits, no one had managed to add a single link to a reliable source. I have e-mailed you the text. Before you do anything else create a draft at user:Fezmar9/sandbox adding at least three and not more than six reliable sources. I am willing to short circuit the DRV process: show RadioFan (talk · contribs) the draft and try and persuade them that the band is notable. If RadioFan requests me to restore, I will willingly do so. Failing that, raise the matter at deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:56, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

You deleted my page

I just need what was on my user page, so I can put it back up there. You took it off, due to the prior request, but I just need the stuff from the user page, if you don't fix it, I'll ask someone else, so do not make this harder dude. If you put the stuff back up, then we'll be cool. I should have copied the stuff into my sandbox in the first place, then I could have put it back up there, so please, what was in my user page that you blanked, put back up there. (JoeCool950 (talk) 22:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

I want to see the stuff that was in my userpage in my Sandbox please, and I'll work from there. If not, then I'll have someone else put it back up. So, please, since I want the stuff that was on there, be helpful and let me have the stuff that was on there, or better yet, put it back up there, so I can get on. And, for the Golden Hills Elementary School page, are you talking about an infobox with a photo? I can do the same for Tompkins, if that would help. There is a {{coord}} for Golden Hills Elementary School, and I fixed the one up for Tompkins Elementary School. If I put up an infobox, would that help not getting it deleted? Let me know. By the way, it's not vandalism putting stuff on my userpage. (JoeCool950 (talk) 23:01, 11 July 2010 (UTC))

I would just like my userpage up. Don't start not responding to me. If you're busy, then that's cool, but I would like my userpage up with what was on there before please, since that is my userpage!!! I'm not creating a new one, I had it fixed up how I wanted it, so I need the stuff back up there, if you have it. If you don't have it, then that's totally messed up.

Could I have an opinion

Could I have an opinion with Golden Hills Elementary School? Now, if this was vandalism, then I am sorry. I saw that it was deleted before, for the same reason, but would putting some kind of infobox, which what I think you're talking about with a photo, would that help? Now I don't know how many students attend the school, but I could mention about how many staff there are at the school and who the Principal is. Just want opinion, before putting it on there. I could do the same for Tompkins Elementary School, if that would help. If that won't help in it being saved, then I won't worry. Just want opinion. May I ask something personal, how long have you been on Wikipedia? I noticed that you're an administrator. Was just curious. If you feel that red links are fine, then we can drop that subject. (JoeCool950 (talk) 03:01, 12 July 2010 (UTC))

If you want, so that things cool off after these, why don't I, or both, but I will leave that up to you, stay away from the articles for a time being, since things got so heated, or in editing them, if that makes sense. Let things cool down. I see some of your points. Then after sometime, then see what needs to be changed. If you want, you can help create some of the articles, but I'll leave that up to you (for the other red link schools on Tehachapi Unified School District). Just thought I'd throw that in. So, with that being said, let's cool off. Just when you get the chance, you can give me your opinion. Thanks. (JoeCool950 (talk) 03:08, 12 July 2010 (UTC))

added something else

I added something to Golden Hills Elementary School that should be mentioned. I'll see if I can find the article to it from the Tehachapi News. Let me know if that helps the page? For Tompkins Elementary School, that page runs the same risk of being deleted. Should I add an infobox to the Tompkins Elementary School article? Let me know. The other articles are nowhere to being created. I've got two sandboxes now. Can you have more than one sandbox to work with? Another administrator added another sandbox for me. Thought I'd ask about that. If so, that would help me on editing, then I can really check, and use one as a sample preview, and see how it works, or I mean preview it before using it. Thought I'd let you know. I'm sorry I didn't realize you were an administrator. You can just say, scroll down to the bottom of my page to realize that, huh. It clearly says taht. (JoeCool950 (talk) 03:36, 12 July 2010 (UTC))

Quick Question

I probably already asked this question, but just want to know what if I don't know when it was founded, or how many pupils, would putting down the how many staff work at lets say Golden Hills Elementary School be good? You can see what I've got started in my Sandbox for Golden Hills Elementary School and let me know. I'm going to add a photo to it to, but not tonight, because it's too late. Just let me know, if that would work though, once I get a photo and mention how many staff work there. I can do that, by counting how many people for each section on their website. If that doesn't make sense on how I'm going to figure out how many staff, don't worry. I'll have that figured out tomorrow. Just want to know though, if that would work. Thanks. I probably won't see this until sometime tomorrow. I'm just guessing with the photo idea, you mean add an infobox, which is what I'm currently doing right now for Golden Hills, so that can be put up, and I'll mention in the summary that I'm putting that up. I'll preview it tomorrow when it's up, before saving the page. Should use the show preview, in case something shouldn't be up, or if there's a mistake, then that way, I won't have to worry about saving something that could be a big error, or considered vandalism.
