re: 2016 Alpine Skiing World Cup edit
→Tone← While I like your zealotry about Fenniger and Maze missing the 2016, the Article is about what DID happen during the COMPETITIVE sport season and not about what did NOT happen. Those blurbs about the two ladies are, in fact, very accurate - but - are irrelevant to the topic. My thought is that the contribution is more suited to a year-end summary paragraph, or sunk to the bottom of the section, and not a lead paragraph above the folks that the page is about - the ones that did participate in 2015-16. Cheers. . .. –HacksawFW– my edits 23:42, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ok, that works for me. In any case, I think it is highly relevant to mention this somewhere since the two were the clear frontrunners in a couple of previous seasons. --Tone 09:19, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Scott Disick edit
Hey there, sorry for my delay commenting on this, but I saw you were the closing admin on the Scott Disick nomination. Could you perhaps explain why you deleted the page? The reason I ask is that it seems to me the sole argument editors made for deletion was essentially "notability is not inherited." But that policy is meant to be a reply to arguments for keeping a page, not a reason in and of itself for deleting. It seems there are a considerable number of profiles, biographies, and articles in mainstream newspapers and other sources available in print and online that would allow for a fully verifiable article to be created. He also has had major acting roles in several long-running TV shows. These things usually easily qualify someone for a page. I feel like WP has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to reality TV actors, and it's unfortunately manifested itself here. mikeman67 (talk) 13:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Well, the AFD discussion established a pretty clear consensus that he is not notable on his own, at least that was my opinion when I was closing it... --Tone 13:47, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Posting 2015 Congolese protests edit
Hi Tone! Would you mind posting the 2015 Congolese protests to the News page. It has been 5 days and there has really been consensus on this for a while now but action never gets taken by admins. I'm new to trying to get things posted to the news page and this was my first attempt at it but it seemed fairly strait forward to me that protests against a dictatorial government that resulted in 42 people being killed would be news in just about any place in the world. Please feel free to leave me feedback on my talk page about this so I can speed up the process next time. Many thanks!Monopoly31121993 (talk) 19:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
- You do realise that the article itself actually says that 42 isn't an official claim? Please adjust the blurb per the sourcing, e.g. to say "at least fifteen". Thanks. Or at least modify the blurb to "A human right's group claimed 42 were killed" or similar, as that's what the sourcing says.... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:07, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
- You're correct. I'll fix it straight away. --Tone 20:10, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
The Dragic brothers edit
I thought a hatnote might be necessary. Do their names not sound the same barring the first letter? - Bossanoven (talk) 00:04, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well, they sound kind of similar but I guess the first letter is obviously different enough ... --Tone 00:27, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
People might hear the name (or part of the name) and not know how to spell it. I would fathom that they would visit the surname page, but not necessarily. - Bossanoven (talk) 00:30, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- I think a better option would be to mention his brother in the introduction, so that there's a link with some context. --Tone 15:23, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Sounds good to me, I have added it into the lead on both articles. - Bossanoven (talk) 22:37, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Why was 2015 Daytona 500 posted? edit
I don't understand why 2015 Daytona 500 was posted when more editors wrote that they opposed it than supported it. I can't see how a consensus exists. Would you please revert this until a consensus is reached per usual.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 07:18, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Undeletion of Yandi Munawar edit
Hi Tone I am contacting you because you are the administrator who closed the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yandi Munawar deletion discussion for this article. At he time this article failed WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, which it did at the time but the player has made his debut in a competitive match (2015 AFC Cup) for a professional team Persib Bandung, so the article would meet the notability requirements. Source: 1 & 2 back up the fact that he played that competitive match for a professional team. I requested this article for undeletion but they told me to contact the administrator who closed the deletion discussion instead. Thank You. Inter&anthro (talk) 15:33, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

NCAA Women's Closure edit
Hi Tone, I'm asking that you reconsider your closure for this item. There seems to be decent support for the item, but the article quality was the biggest issue, something that can still be resolved. Furthermore, it had only been 24 hours since nomination when it was closed, perhaps not enough time to cleanup and expand the article. I don't think consensus is clear against the posting of this item due to things that cannot be corrected. Best, SpencerT♦C 08:12, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
I was hoping that more people would support such inclusion. However, closure may be premature. Shall the nomination be re-opened? --George Ho (talk) 18:17, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Cilla Black at ITN edit
You've removed Cilla Black from ITN/RD leaving only two listings, and her passing is more recent than the two oldest items on the ticker. Would you consider returning her in the third slot? She was not listed right away either, so went on late and seems now to be coming off prematurely. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 17:15, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
- My reasoning to removal was the time stamp that was a week old - thus I removed it. If she was added late, I don't object on returning her for a while ... --Tone 17:33, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the nom edit
I was just reading my old RfA and wanted to say thank you again for the nomination. Hard to believe it has been over 8 years. I asked you for the nomination because I always appreciated the quality of your admin work and I think you are still keeping up the good work. Just keeping in touch, always open to advice from you.

Re: Request for Restoration to Wikipedia of Deleted Marisa Anderson Psychic page edit
Dear Tone, I thank you for all the work you do, for all of us to enjoy on Wikipedia. I see that the page, Marisa Anderson Psychic, and all the work showing 3O years of documented relevant case history has been completely deleted. In this case the deleted page was a history page, about cases and authors and accountability to inform and I will argue that it was not an advertisement page. That Wikipedia page had been there for many years, and it had been and was scrutinized, approved and worked upon a few times by Wiki consultants like yourself, depicting numerous credits, authors, and radio show hosts that made reports about me and my work. I would like to request a scrutiny of that page for a re-approval of the investment of all the time spent by so many and the merit of work of over half a lifetime within the original page listed with full content restored with the information that was both informative and relevant and documented as well as verifiable by the persons referenced within. The case work documented in the page has been meritoriously completed, in some cases written about by authorities including departmental (key law enforcement agencies) and criminal case information (e.g.48 Hours Show) as well as authored books (Sherry Suib Cohen, Hans Holzer Phd, John Sutton, and Elaine Mercado(Llewellyn books), etc., to "live" radio predictions (WEOK, WPDH, Coast to Coast, Joe Franklin, etc) and network shows. I would like to appeal for a re-submission and thank you for your consideration. Thank you and Be well.

- Hi! The article was deleted following a discussion where a consensus for a deletion was unanimous. Therefore, I suggest you take it to deletion review where more people can voice their opinions. The main problems were the neutral point of view, reading like an advertisment, lack of reliable sources, and presumably autobiography. Can you address all of those? Perhaps try to rewrite the article with this in mind. Regards, --Tone 20:47, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Slovenian world heritage sites edit
if you/we stick to site in the header - which is after all correct, at least where a site exists -, then it would make sense to correct the name in the legend. Regards SmozBleda (talk) 05:50, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- Well, you just changed it to "name" in the main list, not the tentative list, so it was a bit inconsistent. In any case, I followed the other articles that use "site". But thanks for checking the article ;) --Tone 08:59, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Pozdravljen. Glede na to, da je zadeva Patria že kar nekaj časa končana, kar se tiče sojenja, bi te prosil, da stran temu primerno dopolniš. Članek o Patrii (poglavje o sojenju v Sloveniji) je že precej zastarel in skoraj v ničemer več ne ustreza dejanskemu stanju. Hvala vnaprej. LPJakobZ (talk) 17:31, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

ITN (2) edit
Hi! Thank you for posting the Nobel Prize in literature on ITN. However, no ITN tag/credit showed up on my talk page and I noticed that neither you (for Physiology or Medicine) nor Jenda H (for Physics) got any, so maybe the bot is broken and should be checked? Cheers, w.carter-Talk 07:48, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how bot works at the moment ... Which bot is it, actually? --Tone 08:08, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- I have no idea, I just assumed it was a bot doing that, but maybe the admin who posts it ITN has to do it manually. In any case, such procedures are above my pay grade. w.carter-Talk 08:23, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
- Some people do it manually. I never cared much for those, I am just posting new items when ready. Would make sense to have a bot, though. --Tone 08:30, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Merger question edit
Hi. Many moons ago you merged the King Kong (Toho) page into the King Kong page. I was curious as to how you merge a article into the subsection of another article? I want to merge Godzilla vs. Frankenstein (per the consensus of the discussion) into the Production section of Frankenstein Conquers the World article.Giantdevilfish (talk) 15:32, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- Well, since merging into a subsection does not keep the history, a reasonable solution would be to provide a link to the old page in the edit summary. This way, it is easy to find the history of the old content. --Tone 17:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:01, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of James Stunt for deletion edit
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article James Stunt is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Stunt (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. SmartSE (talk) 23:16, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Criticism of Noam Chomsky edit
I noticed that you had restored and moved Criticism of Noam Chomsky to User:Yambaram/Criticism of Noam Chomsky in January 2014 upon request from that user. You may recall that you initially deleted the article at AfD as a POVFORK and BLP violation, and you asked User:Yambaram to start the DRV process to gain consensus for restoring it. Well, long story short, that editor didn't start the DRV and hasn't edited since May 2014, but the article still exists in his/her user space. Would you mind deleting the article again? Woodroar (talk) 19:24, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
- Done. --Tone 09:24, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for December 6 edit
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ramona Siebenhofer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lake Louise. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
