DYK Nom
Hi. I've nominated Music Beta by Google, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article here, where you can improve it if you see fit. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 04:33, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks so much, Pesky! Logan Talk Contributions 01:02, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I overturned your non-admin closure of this discussion and closed it as "delete" for the reason given there. Closers should weigh the arguments presented, and in this case, the only "weak keep" opinion did not provide a useful analysis of the notability of the article according to our guidelines. Regards, Sandstein 07:34, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- Okay - I personally didn't see consensus, especially with that loaded "Neutral" rationale, but that's fine with me. Logan Talk Contributions 11:38, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
- Sandstein, I disagree. I think that Logan made the right call to close as No Consensus, and that the article, while in poor condition, should not have been deleted in it's final revision. Logan I would suggest you consider filing this article for Deletion Review, if you care to. Evilphoenix Talk 00:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Music Beta by Google
On 18 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Music Beta by Google, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Androids can now play streamed music using Music Beta by Google? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Edit to Swift Fox
Hi! Please don't disambiguate links to categories as you did here, as it turns the link into a category which is not visible in the text. --Conti|✉ 14:39, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Deleting a page I created
Dear Logan,
I keep getting messages from you regarding deleting a page I created. I am trying to delete "Christopher Schmidt" I am the only one who has ever added information to the page. Can you please explain to me what I am doing wrong and please educate me on the proper procedure for deletion. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rileyschmidt (talk • contribs) 02:45, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Riley - the reason why that article cannot be deleted under the G7 criterion is because it was created by another user, User:Schmidtworldwide. If this is you under another account, I would recommend explaining why you registered a new username, as it could otherwise be considered sockpuppetry. If that other user is not you, then I would recommend using the other deletion processes, including PROD and Articles for deletion. Hope this helps! Logan Talk Contributions 02:50, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
deleting one of two accounts
Logan,
I had no idea that I had two accounts registered until you just informed me. Now it all makes sense. I can log in as SchmidtWorldwide and make the deletion from there. My new question to you is how do I now delete my other account so that I only have one account?? The one I want to delete is username: rileyschmidt. Can I do this or can you do this?
Thank you for all your help. Its so nice to be able to communicate with someone on the inside. Thanks!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rileyschmidt (talk • contribs) 03:01, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
- It should be fine to just continue editing under the Rileyschmidt account. Your previous account name, Schmidtworldwide, is technically a username policy violation because it's promotional. Logan Talk Contributions 03:23, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
RFA
Hello Logan. Sorry for the delay in closing out your RFA, it's something we 'crats need to work on a bit harder, I guess the weekend means there are fewer of us around, but no excuses, so my apologies. Anyway, I'm sorry to say that I have closed the RFA as unsuccessful. You had substantial support from the community, and as you probably already know, your % was in the range where we may sometimes need to discuss things. However, having read through the 29 oppose !votes, I felt there was significant enough community consensus against you receiving the mop at this time. Having been there myself (RFA 1 = fail, RFA 2 = pass) I suggest you take the opinions of the opposers into account, work hard on their comments in the next few months and reapply. Hopefully you'll fly through the next RFA.
Once again, my sincerest apologies for the time taken to finally get you a result, and while not ideal, I hope you'll be encouraged enough to keep plugging away and re-apply at RFA in due course. Naturally, feel free to contact me for anything you'd like to talk about, be it regarding this RFA closure or anything else. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 17:12, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Oh well, maybe in another 3 months, after you make a couple DYKs and avoid closing contentious AfDs. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:33, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Really sorry about this. RfA is a cesspit nowadays. Don't let it dissuade you from your work in CAT:CSD. - filelakeshoe 19:07, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Nope, it definitely won't dissuade me from my work there. Thanks for your support. Logan Talk Contributions 19:54, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- I was bummed to see that your RfA didn't pass. I agree that in a few months, I think you'll make it through with no problem. You'll be able to count on me for another !support vote, and I'll echo the others when I say I hope that you'll keep contributing like you are now! – GorillaWarfare talk • contribs 20:05, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Logan! I wish to discuss the reversion of a recent edit of mine.
Good evening, Logan! As is said in the headline, I contact you at this hour to bring into question the removal of a recent edit that was left on the page for the English plural personal pronoun, "We." Specifically, I would like to ask what about my changes were deconstructive to the article. I feel that, because of the underlying example to where my edits were made ("We mean to stop your evil plans!"), these changes were justified in greater contextual relation to the article. The changed example had shown grammatical correctness and displayed broader usage of a common word, which sums in simple context the versatility of the English language. I would like to discuss this at further length if you see fit to, and will be glad to re-implement my changes if not. I bid you a good night!
Sincerely; 96.248.112.200.
96.248.112.200 (talk) 02:19, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- I have restored your edit and struck out my comment on your talk page - I assumed from the content of the sentence that it was added with an intent to disrupt, but it clearly fits in better with the other example sentence than does the "zoo" sentence. My apologies! Logan Talk Contributions 02:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Contesting speedy deletions; edit summaries explaining your thinking a bit more
Hi -- when contesting speedy deletions, it would be helpful to me (and, perhaps, others) if you would indicate in what way you believe he article makes an assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. And why you find that assertion credible. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- There are almost 80 articles at CAT:SD, so I'm trying to sort through them as quickly as possible. About which speedy that I contested do you have a question? Logan Talk Contributions 05:16, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- Wow, that's a lot. Good luck. It would probably help all similarly situated people, and save all time and effort long-term (as it would forestall needless AFDs, if convincing). But I was referring to those you posted on my tp, above your talkback. You can respond here. Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:51, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- King Chiaullee passes A7 through a claim of importance ("In 2008 the group performed at Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany and, competing in the festival's band competition, went on to win first prize - the Trophée Cidrerie des Terroirs"). Ziad Boutros passes A7 through the claim that he has "composed for the most successful Arab singers." Let me know if you have any further questions. Logan Talk Contributions 13:51, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

I've added the requested citations-- now what?
RE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remember_the_Triangle_Fire_Coalition
Hi, As requested, new citations to reliable sources have been inserted in the noted section. But I couldn't figure out the proper formatting protocol (sorry)-- can you (or someone) please help and edit the 3 new citations?
The new citation #3 is a repeat source. The new citation #4 and #5 are new sources.
Finally, can the "This section does not cite any references or sources" box now be removed -- or do I just go ahead and do that myself... what's the procedure? Thank you!! Artie04 (talk) 14:50, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I think you misread the editing history on this article. It was blanked by the author AFTER the IP had made edits to it, therefore G7 was valid at the time the author blanked the page. ArcAngel (talk) ) 14:19, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- The G7 criterion can only be used "[i]f 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 believe that you are reading it as "If a user tags a page under the G7 criterion and then another user edits, it invalidates the speedy," which is not true, iirc. It is, "If a user tags a page under the G7 criterion after somebody else has already made substantial contributions, it invalidates the speedy." Hope that makes sense. Logan Talk Contributions 14:21, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, after reading up on it a bit more, I was the one that misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying. ArcAngel (talk) ) 14:34, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Agamemnon
This has become a minor Internet phenomenon. I find that removing a reference to one of the newest appearances of Agamemnon, indeed, one where quite a few may meet the character for the very first time, compromises the integrity of wikipedia, not the other way around.

Not to criticize much but how does an article like ScholarMatch get created with a major COI like a user with the same name as the organization, and purposely changing the 'o' to '0' to bypass the COI/Username bots? I am not saying it's speedable, which it is not, but has serious COI issues, wouldnt you agree? I tagged the article as COI and will consider blocking the user for spam username. -- Alexf(talk) 18:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
- I was going to report the username to UAA, but it seemed to be such an unbiased article that I didn't want to be bitey - however, feel free to do a spam username block at this point. It is obvious by the username that there is a COI issue, but I feel that the article read very well, has many references, and does not evince a conflict of interest.

Was there really a need for a 7 day delete template ? Surely a template stating that the article needed references would have been more appropriate. The article itself, while not providing reference, clearly shows that the person was notable due to his debut appearance for Waterford earlier that day. ManfromDelmonte (talk) 06:30, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- WP:BLPPROD is a process that does not inherently account for notability, except for on the negative side (to the point where it doesn't claim enough significance to even pass A7). Even though the person may be notable, sources are required for it to stay on Wikipedia. A BLP PROD does not imply that the subject is not notable. Logan Talk Contributions 00:15, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

What claims of importance are you seeing? The Mark of the Beast (talk)`
- There are multiple claims of importance/significance in the article, including having founded a "thinking network" with coverage in multiple media. To pass A7, an article only has to have the slighest claims of importance/significance. PROD and AfD are good next steps if an article does claim importance/significance.

Formal mediation has been requested
The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Vulva". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by September 7, 2011.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

I created the user account lokinjo a while back, but I've lost the password and did not set a recovery email. I've waded through pages of account deletion information but I've gotten lost.

Orphaned non-free image File:BendBroadband logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:BendBroadband logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 05:47, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
