PROD warnings

It is a courtesy to add the PROD warnings to the talk page of the person who created the article so they get a chance to address the concerns you have. I've done the three for the comics articles, but it is worth bearing in mind fr the future. (Emperor (talk) 02:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC))

Josh Stewart (musician)

I declined the speedy you placed on this article, as there are assertions of significance in it. It would warrant an AfD discussion before being deleted. Also, another admin had previously declined a speedy tag on it. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 20:00, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

May 2009

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Katrina Carlson, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 20:05, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Per WP:BLP, you only have to remove controversial or potentially libellous material. Nothing that you removed fitted that description. – ukexpat (talk) 00:50, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Katrina Carlson, you will be blocked from editing. ukexpat (talk) 00:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Please read WP:BLP, in particular the following: Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. The material that you removed did not warrant immediate removal as it was not contentious. Thank you. And please don't template the regulars. – ukexpat (talk) 02:38, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Characterizing these edits as vandalism is totally inappropriate, as it implies bad faith. I thought you knew better than this Ukexpat. Kevin (talk) 04:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Kraven's First Hunt AfD - one or three articles on this?

On Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kraven's First Hunt you incidate you are also nomiing two other articles but they aren't tagged for AfD. Could you please clarify this on the AfD? -- Banjeboi 02:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Alternate account

On your user page you say: "I'll be using this account if I need to make any 'controversial' edits that might garner such reactions."

WP:SOCKPUPPET says "If someone uses alternative accounts, it is recommended that they provide links between the accounts in most cases to make it easy to determine that one individual shares them and to avoid any appearance or suspicion of sockpuppetry (see alternative account notification)." That section is more specific - if you aren't prepared to make the account connections public then you should inform the relevant people so they can check there are no problems.

This lack of transparency could be a problem. Some of your earliest edits were to PROD three Spider-Mn articles all started by the same editor and you failed to notify them of this (which a new editor might do from ignorance of the guidelines). Then when the PRODs were removed you nominated them and another Spider-Man article by the same user for AfD.

This could definitely raises concerns that this account is being used to pursue an agenda or even a vendetta and you need to be more proactive about this (rather than asking concerned admins to contact you). I suspect there is not be a problem but you do need to take further steps to "avoid any suspicion of sockpuppetry" and I thought it best to flag this now so you can address it before someone else sees this as a potential issue and takes it further. (Emperor (talk) 13:45, 24 May 2009 (UTC))

Technically there is nothing wrong with an article on a single issue but it does need to demonstrate notability (and personally, as I said in the AfD, it should explain why it needs its own article).

For the details on who to contact see WP:SOCKPUPPET#Alternative account notification. (Emperor (talk) 21:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC))

Thanks for that. Is there anywhere people can go to or a person to speak to who can confirm this if there are concerns raised? (Emperor (talk) 14:08, 26 May 2009 (UTC))

This is to confirm that the Arbitration Committee has been informed as to the identity of the other account operated by this user. Kirill ^[talk] [pf] 05:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Gianni Vernetti

I tried to add citation, references and reliable sources.

You can check.

The 3 first citation are from the official web site of the Italian MFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs; the 4th one links to the web site of the Alliance of Democrats (also on en.wikipedia) an indipendent network of 70/80 political parties around the world.

If you have any other suggestions are welcomed.

This is the reason why I don't understand why you insert the quote "This is and autobiography" and

"This biography of a living person does not cite any references or sources".

Could you remove it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gianni Vernetti (talk • contribs) 00:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Jack Passion

Why did you move Jack Passion to User: Jack Passion? This page is clearly intended to be an article, not a user page and it does assert notability: "reigning world champion of beards" which is true. Check out [1] - the guy clearly meets the GNG. --ThaddeusB (talk) 19:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Looking at your history, I see you have done this for other pages where the page title & user name match. I don't think this is appropriate unless the article is clearly intended to be a user page. If it is an intended article and the person is not notable, then moving it to user space doesn't really solve anything because promotional material isn't allowed in user space either. --ThaddeusB (talk) 19:52, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The Hound

Hey, I just saw your user name and I had to tell you I like it. Ther only thing your userpage is missing is the three dogs of House Clegane. Cheers.

Sandor Clegane, HellinaBucket has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

State atheism

I have a hair trigger when it comes to reverting unexplained removal of sourced material. Please include an edit summary with each edit so others can better keep track of article changes. Thanks, and cheers. Nick Graves (talk) 00:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

State atheism

What was wrong to what I did to the "state atheism" article, wikipedia admits that Jainism is compatable with atheism because it considers the universe eternal. None of the cited sources refer to North Korea and Afghanistan as state atheist. And Dinesh is outright wrong about communism being inherently atheistic because as wikipedia itself admits in the "Christian Communism" article, Thomas J. Haggerty and Camilo Torres were indeed communist and yet they were priests So what was wrong with what I said?

Susan Singleton

It was already deprodded once, if you want it deleted you'll need to take it to AfD. Fences&Windows 01:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

WP:CANVAS

Hi. I've just been taking a look at this policy: WP:CANVAS, and would consider this edit 1 to be against what it suggests. Can I ask you to not do this in future? Thalweg & Nimbus (talk) 13:20, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Abdullah Manaz

I declined CSD-A7, but feel free to WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 03:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Trophy Kids (Film), which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! Please see Talk:Trophy Kids (Film) for my reason for contesting the prod. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 10:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from Masayoshi Yamaguchi

Hello Sandor Clegane, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Masayoshi Yamaguchi has been removed. It was removed by Phil Bridger with the following edit summary '(contest prod - Google Scholar shows lots of highly cited publications, with an h-index of about 30, so the subject probably passes WP:PROF criterion 1, at least.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with Phil Bridger before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion.
