Deletion of "Cancer Research Institute"
Hi, my name is Brian Brewer. You deleted a page I created on the "Cancer Research Institute" -- I believe because of copyright concerns. I am the communications director for the Cancer Research Institute and was not aware that the page could be flagged for using copy that I have produced for the organization's site. I would like another opportunity to create the page, but am unable to do so because of the permanent deletion. I am unfamiliar with WikiPedia procedure for requesting the page be readmitted to the site (allowing me to edit to bring it into conformity with WikiPedia content standards).
I would appreciate if you could help me with getting this page back online.
If you have any questions, I would welcome an opportunity to speak with you. My phone number is (212) 688-7515, ext. 242. I am in New York City and am reachable at that number until 5 or 6 p.m. weekdays.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Brian Brewer bbrewer@cancerresearch.org —Preceding unsigned comment added by GenXguy74 (talk • contribs) 13:54, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't delete it, I deleted a placeholder page that was used to prevent it from being recreated again. Contact user:Centrx, user:Kcordina, or WP:DRV. Cbrown1023 talk 18:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Fred Singer
Is there a way to keep and discuss the disputed section in talk (as has been tried repeatedly in good faith by GoRight and others, including myself) till the disputed section is resolved without simply freezing the page--there is a certain aspect of "tag teaming" which I think underlies the current difficulties. The reverts are often accompanied by snide remarks/no justification and the Fred Singer talk page gets much worse. An example: "Singer['s]...work during the last 30 years is a politically motivated crock of shit...." [strikethrough was in original and was meant as a sarcastic insult--see other similar insults directed at GoRight and others in the same section], so I think GoRight is getting a bad rap here--he is honestly trying to add balance (whether I agree with him or not) and trying to get civil discussions going without much success. The current issue is how to deal with "sourced" ad hominem labels in a held-to-a-higher-standard Biography of living persons. I'm not sure edits attempting to ensure consensus gathering should be viewed as being of the same form as those trying to avoid it.
Btw, the version you froze in place was the one reverted to by the editor holding the "Singer['s]...work during the last 30 years is a politically motivated crock of shit...." animus. --John G. Miles (talk) 03:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't freeze that one in place, look at the history. ;-) I think GoRight guessed the problem correctly. Also, there's no way to force people to use the talk page... but there's no way to get consensus otherwise.
- Thanks for the update. I'm not familiar with all of Wiki's in and outs and was just curious as to how to get a page out of (seemingly perpetual) stasis. --John G. Miles (talk) 08:47, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
On a separate topic you and User:Stephan Schulz must have hit submit at exactly the same time. It looks like some script you were using got confused and munged the "See Also" section on the main page. When you get a chance you might want to correct the problem. --GoRight (talk) 03:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yea, that happens sometimes. :( Looks to be fixed, thanks! Cbrown1023 talk 03:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
