Cyril Pavillard

Hi, I have created an account in order to correct/improve the page for the open source project named Open-Sankoré (more improvement to be done in the future) and meanwhile I thought about adding webdoc which is a startup I founded but I realized it was against your terms of use (sorry about that). Though, given the story, technologies used, ... and seeing other pages from similar startups, how should I proceed ? Thank you for your help — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyril Pavillard (talk • contribs) 19:37, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Again, you really shouldn't be writing about your own startup. If someone else were to write about it, they would need to show that it met our requirements for notability (WP:CORP) as shown by reliable, independent sources (see WP:V). NawlinWiki (talk) 19:41, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the precisions, I totally understand. Regarding open-Sankoré, I guess I hope it's not a problem if I bring corrections and improvements as long as it keeps being objective and meaningful regarding the terms of use of wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyril Pavillard (talk • contribs) 19:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rashad Evans

I must say it is appreciated that you protected the Rashad Evans page. I noticed the edits and attempted to undo them. There were also incorrect changes to the UFC fight night 8 page but I've managed to undo those. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.140.106 (talk) 02:32, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

North Street Capital

Would like to write a 'North Street Capital, LP' page, how do I get a deletion undone? Kaylogs (talk) 18:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I deleted that page because the author had blanked it. The author blanked it after being notified that it is against Wikipedia policy to simply cut and paste from the company's "About Us" page. If you can write an original article, citing reliable independent sources (see WP:V) to show that this company is notable per WP:CORP, feel free to repost. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 21:29, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: deleting Aicle page

LA Commons

I'm putting together a page that was speedily deleted. I understand the reason it was deleted, but I hadn't really even begun putting it together. It will take me a few days to finish it. Can I post the page and have some time to write it up before it gets deleted?

Thanks in advance,

A big NPT update

Hey! Big update on what the developers have been working on, and what is coming up:

coding

  • Fixes for the "moved pages do not show up in Special:NewPages" and "pages created from redirects do not show up in Special:NewPages" bugs have been completed and signed off on. Unfortunately we won't be able to integrate them into the existing version, but they will be worked into the Page Triage interface.
  • Coding has been completed on three elements; the API for displaying metadata about the article in the "list view", the ability to keep the "patrol" button visible if you edit an article before patrolling it, and the automatic removal of deleted pages from the queue. All three are awaiting testing but otherwise complete.

All other elements are either undergoing research, or about to have development started. I appreciate this sounds like we've not got through much work, and truthfully we're a bit disappointed with it as well; we thought we'd be going at a faster pace :(. Unfortunately there seems to be some 24-72 hour bug sweeping the San Francisco office at the moment, and at one time or another we've had several devs out of it. It's kind of messed with workflow.

Stuff to look at

We've got a pair of new mockups to comment on that deal with the filtering mechanism; this is a slightly updated mockup of the list view, and this is what the filtering tab is going to look like. All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome on the NPT talkpage :). I'd also like to thank the people who came to our last two office hours sessions; the logs will be shortly available here.

I've also just heard that the first functional prototype for enwiki will be deployed mid-April! Really, really stoked to see this happening :). We're finding out if we can stick something up a bit sooner on prototype.wiki or something.

I appreciate there may be questions or suggestions where I've said "I'll find out and get back to you" and then, uh. not ;p. I sincerely apologise for that: things have been a bit hectic at this end over the last few weeks. But if you've got anything I've missed, drop me a line and I'll deal with it! Further questions or issues to the usual address. Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 17:04, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Horror Icons

Hi! I was recently trying to find a discussion about POV on Wikipedia from a while back, and remembered that it probably took place on the talk page of Template:Horror Icons. This template was deleted at a TfD in 2007, located here. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to this template to be moved to my userspace, just so I can look back at the discussion for reference? You were not the editor who deleted the Template after the AfD, but you did delete some sort of other template at its name a year later, so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks!--Yaksar (let's chat) 23:53, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IP giving barnstars

Hello! An IP user (66.87.2.33) who was rewarding users by giving barnstars was blocked by you two days ago. I want to know was he/she doing anything wrong? Actually I am more interested in knowing whether the barnstar left at my talkpage by the IP user is of any value or not? --SMS Talk 12:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted article of Eddie Kwan

Hello, I'm trying to start the article Eddie Kwan, but am interested in what the old (deleted) version is. Is it possible for you to relist the article so I can take a look. I'm not the previous author. Timmyshin (talk) 04:01, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects of "List of Kingdom Hearts characters"

Above redirects are still protected, and I wonder if there is a point of protecting them any longer. Right now List of Kingdom Hearts characters is "move protected". If "unprotection" is denied, then will you please change the links? --George Ho (talk) 18:47, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind this request, as the name was changed back to Characters of Kingdom Hearts. You can blank this section if you want. --George Ho (talk) 20:36, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spambot proxy use

Hi thanks for helping out the the spambot stopping in the last few hours. I suggest that we put a {{proxy block}} on the talk page, so if a human use does get to use that IP they will have an idea what is happening. Also I have been checking the global contribs to see if other Wikipedia projects have been damaged. So far I only find that any vandalism has been reverted on the other other languages.

Andy Dingley

I realize this is sort of a stale issue, but I would still like to bring this to your attention. I reported this to another admin., but he took no action.

Can you please caution Andy Dingley about making personal comments? My edits have nothing to do with him, beyond an overlap in our areas of interest, yet he insists upon making personal comments about my edits, including repeated accusations of ownership. Frankly, I have tired of it. I removed a category from The City of Lost Children, because there was no support in the article for said category. Along comes Andy with his accusations and personal comments. Since it is my intention to continue editing this article --- I just posted at RSN questioning the reliability of his sources --- it is possible that this editor and I will butt heads again. This needs to stop. Thanks. ---RepublicanJacobiteTheFortyFive 14:55, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RepublicanJacobite deleted the category with the comment, "Provide a source showing this is steampunk" I restored it with three references. He has now deleted those references.

The Morris Curve

Hey Nawlin , i made an article yesterday on The Morris Curve , a new economic theory , I had only just started it and hadn't really planned it fully but you speedily deleted it .... all im asking is that could you please undelete it so that i can finish it and get my theory heard , it has already caught the attention of many economists and i have many emails about my theory but now that it is off the website i dont know how i will be able to convey my theory to the public if it isn't on here.

Thanks

My first article/page

sorry if i created that page incorrectly or if it was some how inappropriate,

I have tried to make some contributions, and then over the course of the month i have created a page for superior threads.(i didnt know what else to make one for, i'm very familiar with them because i use their thread)

when i went to go check it, it looks like the page was deleted already: 20:26, 20 April 2012 NawlinWiki (talk | contribs) deleted page Superior Threads (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content)) i think that is from you, but again im still new here (ps. i hope i put this message in the right place)

im not sure what i did wrong, do i need to have more discussion on it's significance? they are one of the largest thread providers/suppliers in the united states, and are very popular among the quilting and sewing circles, but i dont know how anyone outside of those circles would know anything about them. Im not sure where i should go to get proof, like sales volume or anything like that, all i really know is that they are an important company in the thread industry. what kind of info do i need to go hunt to to add to the article? or did i make this incorrectly or should i have not written it at all?

thanks for your help/patience, ~~Mikki~~ oh, or can we somehow request other people to edit/add to it so that it is complete. is that even a thing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrs.scrapbook0473 (talk • contribs) 21:23, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wingnut Dishwasher's Union

Hullo, good sir/madam. Wondering why you deleted the Wingnut Dishwasher's Union page... the band is important to its fans and there is a large and interesting story behind every song (speaking as a music lover and not only as a fan.) and its lead singer. Just looking for an explanation. Personally, after reading the reason cited for deletion, why not just go in and fix it? Though I don't know if that's within your power or area of jurisdiction. Pleasant day. 205.215.242.159 (talk) 05:30, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Revdel?

Please consider revdeling these two edits. Apparently just some kid vandalizing by using the names of acquaintances; but since the names are no doubt those of living persons and will potentially be familiar to some readers, it's probably best to expunge them from the article's history and deny the IP the ability to show off his work to his mates.
