Olive Leaf Extract

A tag has been placed on Olive Leaf Extract, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion of User Example:First Page

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. As the article namespace is for encyclopedic content and not tests, the page you made will soon be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Biopoesis

Hi there - regarding your recent edit to Abiogenesis to include biopoesis in the lead. Your edit implies that aboigenesis and biopoesis are synonyms. I would argue that biopoesis is much more specific that abiogenesis and as such should not be included in the lead, particularly as much of the abiogenesis article is covering other theories. Cubathy (talk) 15:47, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your comment. I added "biopoesis" or spelt "biopoiesis" in the initial sentence, as aboigenesis and biopoesis are both synonyms with predominately the origin of life. Abiogenesis has connotations of spontaneous generation (as does biopoesis) and it currently bears the weight of different definitions and interconnecting theories, leading to ambiguity.

Spontaneous generation are early primitive theories, ultimately succeeded by germ theory and cell theory, then there is natural selection of Darwinism, and then biopoesis which is about the primordial soup.

The article Biosphere states that "The biosphere is postulated to have evolved, beginning through a process of biogenesis or biopoesis, at least some 3.5 billion years ago." The sentence links biogenesis normally but links biopoesis to abiogenesis, which I have not altered. This is the article which lead me to edit abiogenesis. I have edited to improve consistency and accuracy with related articles. — RW Marloe (talk) 17:08, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I would think biopoesis should redirect directly to the primordial soup section and there should be some addition to clarify the difference if it is to remain in the lead... but I guess its not a big deal!

I have corrected the redirect of biopoesis to "Primordial soup" theory.

International calendar

Please do not conflate the concepts of the international calendar (which is the Gregorian calendar, or perhaps in some cases the Revised Julian calendar with the civil calendar. Unless you can prove that every country (both the government, and the ordinary people) on earth regulates its daily, secular affairs according to either the Gregorian or Revised Julian calendar, please keep these ideas distinct. Jc3s5h (talk) 15:38, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

The grounds of title change I discerned are based upon the most commonly used form of calendar internationally, in the context of international being the global familiarity of information and the twelve month calendar, not strictly international for official or administrative purposes as stated in the article, as the Gregorian calendar and Julian calendar is a historic and religious terminology, within many calendars. The international calendar article contains the differentiation of Gregorian or Revised Julian calendars and links to their historic details in their articles and the month article. The ideas you mention are distinct in the phrasing of the article, with civil calendars and secular calendars varying, though a commonly recognised "international" calendar (Gregorian) is predominantly used by the majority of the population of the world for reference, usual consistency and for conventional time keeping.

The redirects to the international calendar article are civil calendar and common calendar. Secular calendar redirect is to the main calendar article.

The title civil calendar is synonymous with international calendar, with civil being secular and international being a common standard and most conventional. — RW Marloe (talk) 16:43, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Barack Obama speech in Prague, 2009

The article Barack Obama speech in Prague, 2009 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NTEMP

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Soxwon (talk) 21:59, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Incomplete AfD

Hello. I noticed that you attempted to file a deletion discussion (on the article Predator Hound) but did not complete the process. Please note that, when listing an article for deletion, a discussion page needs to be made for other users to discuss whether to keep or delete the article. This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Also, since the page is question is not an article, but rather a redirect, it should go to redirects for discussion rather than AfD. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for reminding me. I thought it wasn't needed, but the redirect is of some use, as the article does mention the Predator Hound. - RW Marloe (talk) 14:50, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Minor edits

Just one comment on protocol about your edits to Selection (user interface). It's considered inaccurate to mark them as minor; the "minor" flag is supposed to mark just typos and minor corrections. There's the option when following an article to ignore changes marked as minor, so some editors would miss edits like those. The rule of thumb is to never mark as minor an edit whenever you're adding or changing meaning. (I know because I used to do the same until someone pointed this out to me). Diego Moya (talk) 13:59, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, I shall do that. — RW Marloe (talk) 14:06, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Barack Obama speech in Prague, 2009

You wrote "speedy deletion", but I think it was the regular deletion process. There was a majority for deletion, but it was not impressive and hardly a consensus; I would not have closed the discussion but instead relisted it. I also found the argumentation for deletion quite unconvincing (and the nominator's reactions to my argument why this specific speech is notable, as well as to notability arguments by others, like on the article's talk page, simply ignored these arguments and only repeated the statement that not every presidential speech is notable). I see furthermore that the nominator did not notify the article's creator of the AfD nomination. All considered together, asking for a deletion review is, in my opinion, a reasonable thing to do. --Lambiam 15:47, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply, it was a regular deletion process you're right. The nominator (Soxwon) did notify me on my talk page: Proposed deletion of Barack Obama speech in Prague, 2009. I too think the argumentation for deletion was not impressive and hardly a consensus. Your argument why the specific speech is notable was correct.

The contradictions of "not every presidential speech is notable" and "Wikipedia is not a news outlet" for this article, is a subjective opinion and a distraction to an editor's objectivity, as it is easier to discount content than to attempt to understand it or contemplate the significance of the content. The contradictions are against three other guideline principles of WP:INDEPTH (analysis that puts events into context), WP:EFFECT (it may result in international change, however unlikey) and WP:POLITICIAN (notable if it meets "reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article"). I think the article does meet notable significance in each of these three guidelines, to a relative degree. There for these three supersede W:EVENT or W:NTEMP.

I haven't been through or asked for a deletion review before, I shall try and figure it out.

— RW Marloe (talk) 12:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Soxwon had informed you about the "proposed deletion", but that is meant for deletions that are uncontroversial and need no discussion, which is something else than the regular deletion process. After you had removed the {{dated prod}} notice, Soxwon did something highly irregular by undoing your edit. You never received a notice of the later nomination in the regular deletion process. --Lambiam 00:11, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

I see what you mean about the undo at 17:10, 30 August 2010 and thats even before any discussions as the first comment is at 18:40, 31 August 2010, I'm still learning some of Wikipedias rules and procedures thanks for pointing that out. — RW Marloe (talk) 08:45, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Whale riding

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Whale riding requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello! Sorry to bother you, and I can see that you are not editing absolutely constantly at the moment ... but I am very curious: what made you set up this redirect? It seems an unusual approach and I was intrigued to stumble across it.

Please note that there's absolutely no hostility, censure etc here – I'm just interested in how you came to create it, if you felt like sharing! Cheers DBaK (talk) 21:44, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

@DBaK: Hi, I know it's a peculiar term isn't it! I came across this type of arial live performance on the news, I can't remember what it was or when, but if you do a search you'll find some brilliant photos. This article is one I just found: Musical hot air balloons serenade people of Bristol.

Kind regards, RW Marloe (talk) 17:29, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Ah right, thank you for the nice reply! I wondered if it was that. The reason I was coming in from that redirect, and why I then asked you, was that I played in that project by Luke Jerram and had been wondering if we had an article. My instance of the Sky Orchestra project, in July 2011, was in Rotherhithe rather than the more recent Bristol one, and sadly was pretty much trashed by the weather – there was a gentle wind heading towards Heathrow and so the balloons were only allowed to fly at very low altitude, on tethers ... no-one wanted to annoy the authorities with balloons going where they really, really should not! But we had all put quite a lot of effort into the rehearsals so we did play the piece, and we had to have our safety briefing etc as if taking off properly – partly in case a rope broke and it really did take off – and it was a great and interesting time, even though a disappointment to not really fly and do the project as intended, like they did in some other places, for example your Bristol article. I am still friends with my balloon pilot now, after quite a few years.

This leads me to wonder, since the term is maybe not in very general use, would you mind if I redirected it to Luke Jerram? I wonder if that might be more useful since it makes sense when you get there as it is used, but doesn't so much when you get to Orchestra as there is no use or explanation of it there. Is it OK if I change this?

Thanks again and all good wishes, DBaK (talk) 15:12, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

@DBaK: That’s fantastic!, and you played your piece, despite the weather wasn’t safe! It certainly sounds thrilling and wonderful to have been apart of something like that. What instrument were you playing and what song did you play?

Yes of course you can change the redirect. I assume Luke coined the term, I certainly hadn’t heard anything like it before. It would be good to see an article, probably a short stub about the rare art performance. Some details could include all of Luke Jerram’s Sky Orchestras since 2003, the musicians who performed, and perhaps other information - it would be interesting to find out if playing a musical instrument has ever been done earlier historically who might that first person have been to play their instrument in a single balloon, what might that date have been?

I’m certainly going to follow the Sky Orchestra, now I’ve found the website, I hope it can happen again sometime, I’d love to see and even more hear it all slowly drift by.. I’ve always loved Bristol’s summer balloon festivals since a childhood family trip.

I enjoyed reading you’re reply, I haven’t had such an interesting conversation on Wikipedia before!

Many thanks and good wishes. RW Marloe (talk) 16:55, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
