From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to my Admin Desk

If you are here, it is probably because of a block, page protection, or deletion/merge I have performed.

Below is sectioned into the reasons for the administrative actions I undertake. Please read the appropriate section for why you are here. If you still need help from me, please leave me a message and I will respond on your talk page.

Blocked[edit]

See Wikipedia:Blocking policy

First, check your discussion page for warnings and reasons given.

  • If you have been warned more than four times and repeated the offense, you will be temporarily blocked.
    • If it is the first block you have ever received and it is for "vandalism" or "3RR," block will be for 24 hours- less if it is a institution or ISP IP address.
    • Any other offense, as noted in the block log, will be discretionary.

If you still have issues, you can email me.

Page Protection[edit]

See Wikipedia:Protection policy

Visit the discussion page for the article, available by the tab at the top of the page. Please do not email me or leave me talk messages to complain about another user if there is an edit conflict involved. I am to be neutral in the discussion and will moderate on the aforementioned talk page.

Deleted Page[edit]

See Wikipedia:Deletion policy, Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, Wikipedia:Deletion review

If you wrote or were involved in an article, and it's gone, check the deletion log link available by a wikilink on the empty page. Odds are you have done this, and that's how you got here.

Spamcruft[edit]

Read this, and deal with it. Lawyers said so, and if you have an issue get your lawyer to talk to our lawyer if it's worth it to you. This is something I take seriously, and actively enforce. No CSD, PROD, AfD or warning. If you have a written an article on your company that fails our corporation guidelines or our website guidelines, it's gone.

Speedy Deletion[edit]

Wikipedia has criteria for articles to be deleted as soon as possible. If, for example, my reason for deletion was "CSD G4", it means that I have deleted the material by this entry from CSD:

Recreation of deleted material. A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted as a result of a discussion in Articles for deletion or another XfD process, unless it was undeleted per the undeletion policy or was recreated in the user space. Before deleting again, the admin should ensure that the material is substantially identical and not merely a new article on the same subject. This clause does not apply if the only prior deletions were speedy or proposed deletions, although in this case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy deletion criteria, may apply; when no criterion applies, the recreated page may not be speedied, but may be submitted to Articles for deletion or the appropriate XfD process.

Please read the speedy deletion policy carefully before contacting me.

Proposed Deletion[edit]

See Proposed deletion policy

A proposed deletion is done by a tag being placed on an article with the reason(s) given for deletion. This is for articles that do not qualify for speedy deletion, but are not considered important enough debates to list on Articles for deletion. Administrators are trusted to follow their judgement on PRODs. Please contact me for an explaination as to my reasoning.

Articles for Deletion[edit]

See Articles for deletion

If I have deleted your article because of the result of the consensus of an AfD debate, please read the discussion page provided in the summary. If you wish to contest the deletion, please differ to Deletion review. As the closing administrator, I will not be associated with the discussion you may undertake there as I am obliged to be neutral.

Merge Deletion[edit]

The article has been replaced with a redirect! Where did my work go!

Never fear, your relevent contributions have been combined into the history of the article it was merged to. Just check the article you are redirected to's history. It may be in a jumble, but it is there.
