Digital workplace
Thanks for not deleting the content for the digital workplace but I'm still struggling to understand the reasons why it was removed in the first place. Can you please explain so the same mistakes are not made again?
Without access to the content it is going to be very difficult. This virtual workplace is different from the digital workplace in its style of content as well as substance and needs a major/complete re-write. Can you give me access to that content?
Mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.152.167 (talk) 10:50, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry if i wasn’t clear enough. The actual content is here.[1]. It had been proposed as essay / original research which was contested by redirecting. Then an IP (yours?) reverted the redirect thus restoring the deletion tag and it got deleted, although actually contested. I've restored it but also reinstated the redirect because your draft looks like a converted set a consultant's power point slides to put it bluntly. At this point its there and you can ponder how to proceed, maybe doing some small edits on other articles first to get a better feel for wikipedia and then rework the draft. If you wnat I can also move it somewhere in your user space --Tikiwont (talk) 13:42, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
Volvere
Volvere plc http://www.volvere.co.uk/ is a British investment company. The name Volvere (sometimes with an acute accent on the letter) can also refer to a song or a musical group.
On December 9, 2008, you deleted Volvere as db-a7, and someone (not necessarily you) salted it. I didn't create the original article, but after I noticed a redlink to the company's full name Volvere plc in another article, I thought the company might be notable. I found some newspaper articles that talk about a proposed takeover that the company was involved with:
- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/2919371/NMT-under-pressure-for-board-shake-up.html
- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/2922199/Kalms-squeezes-into-chair-of-syringe-maker-NMT.html
- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/2919371/NMT-under-pressure-for-board-shake-up.html
- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/2833903/Kalms-to-launch-turnaround-fund.html
Special:WhatLinksHere/Volvere_plc lists only one article. Special:WhatLinksHere/Volvere has several links, including some links from spam/COI reports.
Unrelated to this company is an article about the song Volveré (with an acurte accent on the last letter).
Could you restore the original article, perhaps to my userspace, so that I can add the references that I found? Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:39, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
- I did indeed delete the article and then salted it, but it was about a myspace band from greater London. So the article you have in mind would need to be written form scratch. Meanwhile I created a redirect to he song so you can later disambiguate if you see fit. Best, --Tikiwont (talk) 08:23, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

I've reviewed the file, and according to the examples shown here, it seems eligible for copyright, so I replaced the licensing template with {{PD-ineligible-USonly}} and removed {{Keep local}}. C3F2k (Questions, comments, complaints?) 19:55, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
Recent deletions
Why did you delete U.S. Route 46 in New York and U.S. Route 111 in New York? Both roads end at the New York state line (US 111 historically, so I say they are "technically" in NY. Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 20:21, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- They had been tagged by Imzadi1979 as not being in New York but I now see he didn't leave a note for you. It looked to me as if they indeed weren't inside the named states and even if they finish on the stat line, I wouldn't be sure about the usefulness of the redirect. Anyways, we give great leeway for redirects, so I'd restore them, just double check with Imzadi and others from the relevant project on when to have these kind of redirects and let me know. --Tikiwont (talk) 22:05, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Weird deletion message: did I do that?
Hey, Tikiwont, I noticed that, when you deleted Daytona (band), it appended some of the content of my user talk page to the deletion rationale. Could you check the deleted page to see if I had somehow attached it to the CSD tag, or was it done by some sort of bug on your end, or what? Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 20:19, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- The full diff is:
{{db-multiple|A7|G12|url={| style="background-color: #fdffe7; border: 1px solid #fceb92;" |style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 5px;" | [[File:Brownie transparent.png|120px]] |style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | Thanks for your endless stream of patience with new editors at the Teahouse, I know it's hard to keep up the friendliness sometimes when they arrive already angry and indignant. It helps so much and it's so nice to see how it turns around. :) [[User:Heatherawalls|heather walls]] ([[User talk:Heatherawalls|talk]]) 18:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC) |}}}
- So it seems you added it somehow. I guess it is due to what seems to be a new template that did link to your page instead f a G12 source. --Tikiwont (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Blargh. Well, at least Heather's brownie is now enshrined in the deletion log for the rest of ever. There was an actual G12 source (I think MadmanBot detected it first, actually), but I can't seem to find it again. Oh well. :P
EDIT: Found it. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 20:44, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
