August 2014

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lord KraVen. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. –Davey2010 • (talk) 21:59, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am an administrator here. Please heed the advice that is being given to you. Do not continue cast "votes" at the articles for deletion page or you will be blocked. Simply state your case, once and let the debate run its course. If you continue to disrupt, I will have to block you. Also, if you are using the account or know who is using the account MICHAELMOO22, please read up on our sockpuppetry and meatpuppetry policies. -- John Reaves 22:59, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand, I did only vote once, and yet, I'm being accused of voting more than once. Can someone please explain how or why I'm being punished for voting once? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MICHAELMOO22 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, John. Your approach to this unfortunate and relentless debate is a bit harsh and presumptuous. One, no I am not the user MICHAELMOO22, if i was, I would be responding under the user name. I am not affiliated with that user nor the individual whom he has contributed information for on Wiki. So your direct assumption that I am doing so is a bit disturbing and an attack on my integrity. You should be able to see that I am not MICHAELMOO22. I have not violated any terms and conditions by using my "actual" real username, BrandonWalker2014. Threatening to block me and with Wiki codes that do not apply to me, is unacceptable. This is professional forum and I will not be bullied and accept false claims to my integrity. I have simply ran across this debate page and thought I'd offer my two cents like everyone else. Doesn't mean that I am affiliated with any party on this site. I have that right to do so as a subscriber/account holder on Wiki. I realized an error that i was making, and that was using "Keep" more than once. So I have corrected that. That was due to lack of knowledge. I am new to this site. However, I do know that "augmenting" and "deleting" comments is not acceptable according to the terms and conditions of wiki. I have asked Davey to refrain from do so. I believe that is a violation. BrandonWalker2014 (talk) 23:24, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for sock puppetry. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bbb23 (talk) 01:05, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Repost of Lord KraVen

A tag has been placed on Lord KraVen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you.

Lord KraVen =

Hi there,

I noticed recently that you have tried to continue to create an article about the artist known as Lord KraVen. Unfortunately the article was deleted through a deletion discussion. As such, it's not likely that the article will be allowed to exist in the article space unless there is a significant change in coverage on the artist. While I appreciate your willingness to contribute to the encyclopedia, I don't want you to spend too much effort on a project that's not likely to succeed. I also suggest you don't re-add the article to the mainspace, as this is viewed as disruptive by others. As such, are there other articles or topics that you might be interested in editing? I'd be happy to direct you to some articles if you give me a starting point. Best, Mike V • Talk 01:12, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike V: Hello Mike, thank you for reaching out. First, I would like to make it clear, that I am in no way trying to be disruptive. If anything, I would like to become more fluent with regulations and criteria of wiki...and hopefully get some assistance from other experienced wikipedians such as yourself. In short, I read that Articles that were deleted can be recreated with no problem, providing that the information or content regarding the subject has changed or improved, is that incorrect? So under that understanding, I recreated the article on the artist with more reputable and reliable references so I thought. I added references from sources that I saw widely used for other established artists here on wikipedia. I added references from AllMusic, Billboard, Huffington Post/AOL, Yahoo, IMDB, HLN News, KTLA, Fox television, etc.. for the Lord KraVen article to establish validity of his artistry. The previous article that was deleted for Lord KraVen, from my observation that it was poorly written and lacked good references that meet wiki's criteria. My only object was to help create the right page for the artist, not to ruffle feathers here on wikipedia. I really can't afford to put that sort of effort into something frivolous. (Lol). However, if there is any possible way that YOU can view the recent article that published for Lord KraVen (that was just deleted) to see what is the "issue" is concerning the page, I would be extremely grateful! I want to know where I am in error and what is NOT acceptable "reference links". This will help to clear any speculation that i might have, that there could possibly be some personal biased opinions and/or harsh actions directed toward this artist by other users on here that I am not aware of. Because I do not want to he involved. I didn't sign up for controversy. (Lol). Thanks so much Mike. Best, BrandonWalker2014 (talk) 01:43, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
