I see that you deleted XGen SEO as a G11. A company representative has contacted Wikimedia via OTRS, to discuss copyright issues. I have sent a response that the article wasn't deleted due to the copyright concerns, but for other reasons. However, when I look at User talk:Sivrauv, it is understandable that they would assume it is a copyright issue. Could I prevail upon you to add a note to the talk page explaining the reasoning, so they will understand?--SPhilbrick(Talk) 12:42, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- I should probably have added that note when I deleted the article, and have done so now. —Kusma (t·c) 16:32, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Re: DZIG-TV CSD request
Hi! The article DZIG-TV is an obvious hoax. This article was created by one of User:Bertrand101's sockpuppets User:Meven Agusta 17. Bertrand101 is a longterm vandal in en.wiki and is known for creating hoax articles. Please see my SPI report regarding Meven Agusta 17 and the LTA against Bertrand101. Thanks. -WayKurat (talk) 18:31, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- I can't tell why it should be a hoax, it all looks reasonable enough (and even has incoming links that fit the article content). Nevertheless, the sockpuppetry looks obvious enough, and I deleted the article as created by a banned user. Thank you for the explanation, and happy editing! —Kusma (t·c) 18:56, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Addressing Valley Fair Mall (West Valley City, Utah)...
Just wanted your input for the Valley Fair Mall (West Valley City, Utah). I would like someone to add more references, and overall cleanup to sustain Wikipedia standards. Please do so, because this is the only reason I put it up for speedy deletion. I accidentally mis-categorized. I am sorry for that, but it does need work.
Missoulian (talk) 20:23, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
- I have no knowledge of the subject, I just think the article did not to meet our criteria for speedy deletion and did some superficial cleanup. It probably helps if you explain what you think needs to be done via cleanup templates and on the article talk page. —Kusma (t·c) 01:09, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Are you serious?!?!
Have you even tried checking talk:WikiProject Bangladesh/General: Revision history before redirecting it on the ground of "WP:CSD#G7 does not apply"? The policy clearly says it applies "if requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content to the page and to the associated talk page was added by its author." I am sorry to say that it exactly is the case here. Aditya(talk • contribs) 21:02, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Word numerical
Can you solve this problem for me? I was unable to solve it. "A machine gun fires 25g bullets at the rate of 600 bullets per minute with a speed of 200m/s. Calculate the force required to keep the gun in position." First of all I would like to tell you that it is not my homework and after solving the problem, answer I got was 50 Newton. I only want you to check whether it is correct or not, if possible show me steps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunnysinghthebaba (talk • contribs) 15:51, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Show me steps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunnysinghthebaba (talk • contribs) 10:38, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Action=reaction. Force=change rate of momentum. Change rate of momentum=velocity times change rate of mass. This gives 50 N, but that is probably not the right answer in the real world, as the bullets are discrete, and so the change rate of mass is not just a constant 250 g/s. If you show your steps to people at the reference desk, maybe somebody will check them. Hint: you might try to say "please" instead of just demanding that others work for you. —Kusma (t·c) 11:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Very important question about the page Ludovico Reale
Hello,today while i'm looking wikipedia,i noticed that the page dedicated to me was deleted or gone.The page in question was the voice "Ludovico Reale"
My question is this:
The page has been temporarily closed or removed for criminal investigations?I say this because investigations are underway on the page dedicated to me.This because someone liked to change the page with insults for a lot of months,and then i decided to sue him.
Let me know what happened to the page dedicated to me.
Who created the page contact me for to create it and has complied with all rules of copyright.(Authorized by myself)
The page was not created by me for self promotion,i only made changes to eliminate the insults written by the person who is now reported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ludovico4891 (talk • contribs) 22:44, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- The page was deleted per our deletion criteria for people because there was no evidence that our guidelines for inclusion of musicians were met. —Kusma (t·c) 04:23, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Amit Gaswami
Hi,
There was a reasonably good page about Amit Gaswami the physicist prior to June 2012 but it is now deleted.
I noticed your comments were that you deleted it because it redirected to an empty page.
Can the page be restored to the state prior to when another user made it empty?
Thank you!
Jasonbook99 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- The page was moved to Amit Goswami, which was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amit Goswami. If you want to contest that deletion, you can try WP:DRV. —Kusma (t·c) 18:42, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Victoria Loukianetz
why did you delete this page? Victoria Loukianetz is one of the most important operatic singers of the last 20 years - I am her adult daughter, philosophy M.A. student. Only because of bad publicity she is not popular right now, but she was very acknowledged in the 1990s and 2000s, singing with Pavarotti, Domingo, Carreras, Muti, Baltsa... and even Franco Zeffirelli made a legendary comment about her. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.82.80.207 (talk) 10:25, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
- The page we had about her was cut and pasted from http://www.fischerartists.com/victoria-loukianetz.html . Wikipedia does not accept Copyright violations, so the page was deleted. If a new page about her is written, it will most probably not be deleted. —Kusma (t·c) 11:33, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Victoria Loukianetz Fischer Artists
Hello, I read the reason of deletion - this is not fair - fischerartists is her personal agency site and this is HER PERSONAL biography, for which she has the rights, thank you very much - I am her adult daughter and her assistant, M.A. student. I sadly don't know how to use Wikipedia. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.191.63.42 (talk) 12:52, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
- About the copyright question: we can't just take your word for it; if you own the rights and are willing to permanently give everybody the right to do what they want with the text (within the limits of the license), you can have that recorded with our WP:OTRS system. However, especially these days, Wikipedia has a strong bias against autobiographies or other texts from somebody with a conflict of interest. Probably requesting an article is the cleanest way to go if you want to avoid running afoul of our labyrinth of rules. I am sorry that this is so complicated (and I don't have the time or independent sources to write a new article myself). —Kusma (t·c) 17:29, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
