CSD on IP Userpage

Hey. I understand how my nomination could be very confusing. The account that made the edit is a promotion only account that I'm running damage control on. Just wanted to let you know. OlYeller^Talktome 19:17, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

• Could you please be more specific on what page/user you talk about? - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:26, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

How many db-11 tags have you recently removed from Userpages? lol Here's the user: Sarurahn (talk · contribs). Here's the user whom's page Sarurahn was editing on: 86.108.28.24 (talk · contribs). OlYeller^Talktome 19:31, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

• The user has been somewhat disruptive, but I wouldn't have gone as far as to call him an advertising-only account. He seems to be just ignorant of the Wikipedia policies and guidelines. (And in any case, I see no reason for deleting a welcome message he has posted on a user talk page.) - Mike Rosoft (talk)

RINJ

Hey there, Mike,

I've recently been editing a page called "RINJ," specifically the section titled, "Controversy" (I had originally tried inserting the relevant pieces of information into the main body of the article, but it was quickly deleted). Another user, who I suspect is aligned with the group RINJ and Wikipedia editor Micheal O'Brien, has been removing my edits and calling them vandalism. I admit I am a novice editor of Wikipedia, but I am not a novice user of encyclopedias or uneducated about the subject matter. Personally, I question the validity of the entry in the first place, as it seems very much to be a vanity page rather than an entry into an encyclopedia, but it was already challenged by someone else, I believe. Anyway, I was hoping you would take a look at RINJ and perhaps give me your input on the subject, and consider lending your support in ensuring the page is complete. Much appreciated.

Brittany pearson

Hello, Mike is it? Nice to meet you. I was just wondering what drove you to delete the brittany pearson page? She has quite the following in the town shes from and i was trying to put a funny/laid back vibe to her page. I was going to add more information as well but didnt have the time. Seeing as you're a hardcore atheist but liberal of heart can't we break this impasse and come to some kind of compromise? I promise if you take a chance of brittany pearson, she'll take a chance on you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmae120 (talk • contribs) 07:18, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

• Simply said, because the article wasn't encyclopedic or even factual. If you want to create a page about your friend (or yourself), get a personal website or a blog. (Wikipedia is not a hosting service.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:24, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Kidz of Tomorrow

I removed the Prod you added to the above article as unreferenced is not a criteria used for deletion. Mo ainm~Talk 21:38, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

• It's not just that the article is unreferenced, but I wasn't able to find any evidence that the sitcom even exists. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 21:46, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

So would a speedy tag as a hoax not have been better? Mo ainm~Talk 22:02, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

• Maybe, but I wanted to give it a benefit of doubt. Perhaps {{hoax}}? - Mike Rosoft (talk) 22:04, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Deleted now as a hoax. Mo ainm~Talk 22:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Jono: The Musical

This is not a hoax, this is a real show that is going ahead and will be shown to about 200 people. We are doing the show in support of the Mouth Cancer Foundation and hope to raise a lot of money for it. While it is based on my friend Jono, it is a fully fledged show and we have created seventeen of our own songs for it. Some examples of which can be found here - http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/jono-the-musical-the-official/id393425497. Also, the Paramount Pictures bit was a joke, which I would be more than happy to remove if you would please reinstate the page. I hope you read this and appreciate what I'm trying to say. Thanks.

---message from other user---

Learn to take a joke! Jono: The Musical is real! It's been in the making for a long time with many involved and is fully recognised as a legitimate production and as such, is deserving of a wikipedia page.

IP Changing date information

You might be interested that a recent string of undos you did are linked to an IP used by a prolific sock puppet. 204.2.37.158 has been linked to date additions to music articles, a trend that's been ongoing for years now. If you caught any other similar edits from other IPs they might be useful to note in the SPI (I recently opened a new one that will probably be merged into that one soon).

Why was the page deleted

Hi Mike Rosoft,

I'm curious as to why the page "Personal Trainer Development Center" was deleted? From what I can tell it is because the wording used to describe the company is the same as on the website. Is that correct? If I have permission to use the pictures and wording how do I prove that to wikipedia?

Thank you for your time, — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThePTDC (talk • contribs) 17:52, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

• The page was originally marked for speedy deletion as copyright violation. Instead, I deleted it under a different criterion - as promotional. (Given that you are affiliated with the organization, you should have a look at the conflict of interest guidelines. Generally, it is recommended for users not to create articles about themselves, their companies, etc.) In addition, the name of your account seems to imply that it is a shared corporate account; since an account is only to be used by a single person, I would recommend for you to request its renaming, or simply create another one. (See the user name and user account policy.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:12, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Realm of Titans

I played Realm of the Titans on the weekend and I went to the trouble of finding out enough information about it to fill an article since there was none on Wikipedia and I thought it was exciting and do not get as many opportunities to write articles about computer games as I did in the early days so I jumped in first. Do you think it is easy for a non-Chinese like me to research a game that is so far released in China? Also, your assertion that a game in beta does not warrant an article is invalid when there are hundreds of games on Wikipedia not even in Beta. Anyway, if you type it into google, you will get over 20 pages of relevant results. You want notability? Some guy I never met wrote an article about a small program I wrote while at university and that's been there for 6 years whereas most people wouldn't even be able to understand what it does. Scarlet (talk) 19:18, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

• After reviewing the article and some research using Google, I believe that the game probably is notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia. (On the other hand, existence of other articles about less notable subjects isn't a very strong argument for keeping this one; each article must stand or fall on its own.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:11, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

When a Wikipedia essay contradicts general community precedent, I would say to ignore it. However when a Wikipedia essay directly says to ignore precedent in general, as the one you just linked to did, I am not sure whether to laugh, cry or throw up. Addition and deletion should be based on nothing but the prevailing community standards of Wikipedia and the only way to possibly argue that that is through examples of what has been added, kept and deleted in the past.Scarlet (talk) 16:29, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

• I don't think that WP:OTHERSTUFF contradicts community consensus; to the contrary, it repeatedly gets referenced in deletion debates. Granted, results of previous debates may be used as a rough guideline on whether or not to keep a different one (though it is in no way binding; consensus can change). Mere existence of another article can't; just as well it can be a reason to nominate the other page for deletion as well. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:15, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Useless

Why did you protect the page Useless for all eternity? Since 2011 only eight revisions have been made to the page. You give as a reason: "Constant target for people to add their personal dislikes", yet "constant target" would mean the page is vandalised on a daily or weekly basis. That is not the case. So why even bother? 输寄请像 (talk) 17:41, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Don't mean to be rude, gov'ner. 输寄请像 (talk) 17:43, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

• That's right, but as far as I can see all edits by unregistered users are of this kind. In fact, the last vandalism has remained on this page for months. That's why I had semiprotected the page. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:47, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Theresa M. Kelly for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Theresa M. Kelly is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theresa M. Kelly until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Shannon Rose ^Talk 17:22, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Har Homa

Mind explaining why you removed my change at Har Homa? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red Stone Arsenal (talk • contribs) 19:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

• Because East Jerusalem is a geographic term with a specific meaning (unlike "southeast Jerusalem"). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:03, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand. What is the specific geographic meaning of "East Jerusalem" that is different from the specific geographic meaning of "Southeast Jerusalem"?

• Read the article East Jerusalem. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:06, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

That article says , right in the beginning, "The term “East Jerusalem” is used in three different, incompatible ways", so it seems to me you replaced a precise definition, with an ambigous one. Which of the "three different, incompatible ways" that East Jerusalem can be used did you mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red Stone Arsenal (talk • contribs) 19:09, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

• "Southeast Jerusalem" means "South-eastern part of Jerusalem proper". "Southern East Jerusalem" means "Southern part of East Jerusalem [Israeli-annexed area]". Har Homa is in the latter, not in the former. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:24, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

But that information is already in the next sentence, why are we repeating it? Red Stone Arsenal (talk) 19:36, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

• For the second time, Har Homa is NOT in southeast Jerusalem [proper], it's in southern East Jerusalem. I consider this point closed; if you want to continue it further, take it to the article talk page or editor assistance. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

MANCHESTER, NH deletion

I thought I was helping by adding a redirect to Manchester, New Hampshire. Several of this type of redirect exist, i.e. Hartford, Connecticut from Hartford, CT that has been in place since 2004.Please advise, thanks. Bob Shaw —Preceding undated comment added 19:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC).

• Granted, but there's no point in creating redirects from all-caps titles. (Page titles are case-sensitive.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:16, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Would you find Manchester, NH acceptable ?--Bob Shaw (talk) 19:31, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey there! You seem to have shot that article stone dead after someone had vandalised it. I don't think I have clearance to reinstate it, so it would be great if you could quickly pop over and do the raising from the dead bit. Best, Trigaranus (talk) 22:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Filter Platforms Inc

Why was this deleted? I read through all of the policies and made sure it was informative, not an advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Funkrockr10 (talk • contribs) 17:23, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

• Granted, the page (Filter Platforms Inc.) wasn't particularly promotional in nature; on the other hand, it didn't cite any third-party references and only referenced the company's websites. The primary inclusion (notability) criterion is: did the subject attract non-trivial coverage in reliable third-party sources? I am afraid the company doesn't seem to meet these guidelines; articles that don't contain any claim of notability or significance may be speedily deleted upon discovery by any administrator.
  If you believe that the article could be salvaged, I might restore it into your user subpage for you to work on. You can also seek advice at editor assistance. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:34, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your swift action. Is there any way to tell if this account has connections to other accounts on WP?LedRush (talk) 17:39, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

(The edits have been so thoroughly redacted that not even administrators can view them; only a handful of users have such a privilege. If you want to be sure, feel free to contact the Arbitration Committee.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:09, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow. Do I go to checkuser and just give the name and someone checks the name and IP address? Why do you think the check was done already? Why would people need to see the edits? With someone attempting to out me yesterday, and someone again today, I just feel something fishy is going on.LedRush (talk) 18:21, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey

you deleted a article that i published live but all that was on there was the name and the template completely blank. I have been banned multiple times from Wikipedia but my suspension is over, please help me make this time around more enjoyable sir. I am really looking for someone to help me publish an article but this website has plenty of links please check it out and collaborate with me on notability. JO has shows, has a mixtape, and is all over the web in different forms which are not all self published, in other words his work has spread virally. If you search "JO" "4 The Hustlas" Rough Cut Freestyle Flow Rap Underground Rapper Unsigned Hype "Josh Eastman Enterprises" JO "Josh Eastman" Ent J.E.E. Mixtape Hip Hop mix tape hiphop "hip hop" battle rap music youll find several things he has over 5000 views on his youtube channel, has several artists, DJs, even record exucutives like this one from JIVE on twitter. PLEASE TAKE a minute to go to JO's Google Profile if you havnt already and look at the links. I am 448th on the Rancho Santa Margarita Hip Hop Charts for Reverb Nation. I Know there is a way to help me get this article ready to publish please help. I believe that the links and article are notable, where does someone draw the line between indie/independent/underground music and unnotability for wikipedia. I think i deserve a shot. I am an aspiring musician and this legitimizes my movement, when a fan who heard my album or song and want to look me up the "JO" wikiarticle will provide them with an easy to read bio and info regarding who JO is and does with supporting links —Preceding unsigned comment added by BobMcGuinness (talk • contribs) 14:20, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

• I have reviewed both the deleted article The Real JO and the links you had given me, and I found nothing that would persuade me that you are in any way notable. The main notability (inclusion) criterion is: did the subject of the article attract non-trivial coverage in reliable third-party sources? (See also the specific notability guidelines for musicians.) Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia, which is a compendium of existing knowledge, not a means of making something known.

In fact, it is recommended that users do not create articles about themselves; see the conflict of interest guidelines for more details. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 16:27, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello would you like to explain your factual reasons for reverting the Jonah page?

I really would like some actual facts please? Or would you like some of mine? I have studied sperm whales for years and have worked closely with marine biologists and I don't appreciate people completely making up things about them.

Any chance you could move Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Over the Limit (2011) back to Over the Limit (2011)? The main concerns at the TFD were (1) too far in the future, but now it is less than 2 weeks away, (2) lack of reliable sources confirming that it would indeed take place, but more sources have now been added.

In general, it is recommended that users don't create articles about themselves, their companies, or similar topics they are directly connected with; see the conflict of interest guideline for more details. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 16:51, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Deleting pages about videos

You deleted my page about the longest YouTube video (ORIGAMI BOX DESTROY). Why don't you now delete page about the (once) most viewed about Charlie Bit My Finger video and why don't you delete the page about the first YouTube video - Me At The Zoo? Why don't you delete them too? Please answer. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by IksDe (talk • contribs)

• Once again, see above. Is the video notable for anything but being the longest video on YouTube? Do you have any reliable third-party sources that mention the video? If not, then I am afraid Wikipedia won't have an article about it; it's that simple. (See the notability guidelines for web content.) If you believe that the page indeed meets the inclusion guidelines, consider creating it as a subpage of your user space, e.g. User:IksDe/Origami Box Destroy, and then seek advice on the editor assistance page. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
• As a follow-up, the video doesn't seem to have attracted any coverage in reliable third-party sources. It has been mentioned in the YouTube wiki, and on several blogs etc. - these aren't reliable sources. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:14, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Do you think that the longest video on YouTube wouldn't be much visited page? Ok, then... IksDe (talk) 20:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

• It doesn't matter. The videos Charlie Bit My Finger and Me at the zoo did attract third-party coverage, and so they meet the notability guidelines. Origami Box Destroy didn't, so it doesn't. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Cayole

I had created an article about Cayole.com but it was deleted. It is notable because it was noted in New York Times and Newsweek among others.

• I have reviewed the article, and it seems that the website has only attracted trivial third-party coverage (see the notability guidelines for web content). If you believe otherwise, you can challenge the deletion at deletion review. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 06:07, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I may challenge it, but I'm trying to understand how you decide whether the coverage was trivial? Newsweek and Tnooz had full articles about Cayole, while New York Times article mentioned it quite extensively. Is there any criteria for "trivial"-ness or is it up to admins to decide? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greekguyinboston (talk • contribs) 06:13, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

I just read the link that you mentioned above and it has 4 criteria for trivial coverage. None of the 3 sources fit the trivial coverage criteria according to the link that you mentioned. Or am I missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greekguyinboston (talk • contribs) 06:56, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

• I tend to agree that the article doesn't quite fit the speedy deletion criteria, so I have undeleted it and sent it to a full deletion debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cayole. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 08:29, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mike--The above article has now been looked at by two folks who have marked it "good article." How do I either get rid of the unreviewed article tag or get whatever feedback I need. I have left notes at the request for feedback page twice now.Can you help?Nrglaw (talk) 01:09, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

• It's not quite kosher to create an article with a "good article" tag in place and claim that two unrelated people marked it as such, is it? (See more about the good articles process.) That said, I have left a bit of feedback on the article talk page. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 06:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Ramot

An article by the BBC is not a appropriate source to support the claim that Ring Settlements are considered my most to be illegal under international law. I would like to see primary sources cited there (i.e. UN resolutions, etc.). You cannot use a parenthetical point in an online news article as the source such an important part of an article. By doing so you weaken wikipedia. Better to leave out the entire discussion until someone can take the time to put it a more neutral discussion with appropriate citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 11235813ab (talk • contribs) 17:50, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Whoa: Please review/reconsider spod!

In use template means please allow me the opportunity to build the page before you act. As per the text, the Vow of silence is utterly not the same thing as the Practice of silence. Please have some discussion before taking such drastic action! At the very least, please allow me to revert that and userfy.

OK so I have explained why I contest the redirect so it seems I should be permitted to proceed. In my experience, a lot of techies have not much background in this field. I have extensive background in this field. Monastic silence and monastic vows are two separate and distinguishable topics. But I don't want to get into a wheel war with an admin. Please advise.

While awaiting your reply, I review deletion criteria. The reason stated in comment, which is that the article is believed to be duplicate, is not listed on policy as a spod criteria. Thus, it seems that you may wish to template nfd if you don't accept the above rationale to restore or permit restoration. Please note that your silence could be interpreted as consent, but puts me in the untenable position of wheeling. Therefore, I would suggest that it would be courteous to attend to this sooner rather than later. Otherwise, any additional work I might care to do to develope the article is done under threat of another spod, and I don't think you wish that upon anyone.

Bard गीता 04:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

• I have restored the article and moved it to User:Geofferybard/Monastic silence. That said, I believe that its topic is so close to the topic of the article Vow of silence that the information could be included in the page itself. (And the page Vow of silence has itself been nominated for merging to the main article Silence.) By the way, a YouTube video is not a good reference; see the guideline on what constitutes a reliable source.

If you disagree with my evaluation of the article, you can seek advice at editor assistance. (Should you move the article back to article space, I don't want to be revert warring, either; I'd probably seek advice in the same place.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Mike I am saving now to avoid confusion due to the edit conflict hang on a second ...

Sorry my computer crashed. Well I do appreciate you getting back to me but unfortunately my carefully crafted appeal was lost during the crash. Well yeah we can seek uninvolved thir party opinion if need be but for the time being why not let the article develope for a couple few days and then see what it looks like? Believe me this is a vaaast topic and just because one English speaking wikipedian somewhere has been nominated for merger should not constitute a basis to act on Monastic silence, let alone speedy delete. It seems that your point is not wildly unsupportable - it may well be that at this point in the development of wikipedia a consolidation of these two topics might be in order. But it seems that, at minimum, proper process is to recognize that speedy delete is not the protocol. Probably wiki way here is to agree to disagree, take no action on a restoration of the page, with the understanding that if the page is restored you would have the right to nfd (nominate for deletion) at any time. The request would be perhaps that you would allow a stipulated amount of time - be it an hour, or a day, or two - but actually based upon your argument, it seems that I would be lucky to get even one hour before the nfd. I would not be offended if the arrangement is that you would nfd but at least, not spod. Fair enough?

PS: No hard feelings if I lose the nfd. IMO IMHO the merge might work on Vow of silence, for some months, before the topic gets more developed. ( And I do think you have an arguable point at this stage of wikipedia developement, not permanently.)IMO it makes for more clarity in collaborative writing to keep separate things separate. Maybe merge later but not merge for the sake of merging. The articles IMO develope much better if they are allowed to spawn and grow based upon narrowly defined concepts, which was the whole point of starting this artice.

PPS. Actually, Silence was a mess - section heading without content, two related sections separated by an off topic section. Per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Silence&action=history I have cleaned it up but IMO it is the exact opposite of merge we need a disambig page with separate pages. I could see Vow of silence as a subsection of a broader topic such as Monastic silence but really, sir, based upon expertise, IMO, Vows of x are more appropriately a subsection of Rites and also a subsection of particular Orders. The Vow is not the master of the Practice.

Don't take this the wrong way, but this may be a textbook case of area expertise interacting with wikipedia expertise - not to say that is a bad thing. Probably the end result of this dialogue is a much better understanding of the disutility that had existed at those pages and the output should be a better final product. Awaiting your OK to proceed as outlined above. Bard गीता 05:33, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Silence on "Silence", interpreted

In light of your statement, to wit:

If you disagree with my evaluation of the article, you can seek advice at editor assistance. (Should you move the article back to article space, I don't want to be revert warring, either; I'd probably seek advice in the same place.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 05:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

That is interpreted as presenting the following implicit options:

• "seek advice at editor assistance"
• move the article back to article space, in which case you would "probably seek advice in the same place.)"

Hence, my actions are as follows: I am cleaning up the article Silence, which is in pretty bad shape; I added religious cats to the already existing disambig page, made several suggestions. I will sit on all of this :until tommorow and seek your comments. Silence will be ... silence.:)Bard गीता 06:46, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Look, friend, I understand why editing the Bottled_water to read "In some areas, tap water may contain added fluoride, which contributes to tooth problems and decay." from "In some areas, tap water may contain added fluoride, which helps prevent tooth decay and cavities." might not make sense to someone less scientifically inclined, such as yourself. However, when you have a page such as Dental_fluorosis, which so clearly contradicts the text on your bottled water page, I believe an edit to the truth is in order. So which is it? Is fluoride good or bad for my teeth? Or does wikipedia only associate itself with the generally accepted, rather than the actual truth?

How about this one? Fluoride_poisoning But wait...it's good for my teeth?

User page deletion

Hi Mike,

Sorry for mistakenly creating a user page (I've seen you've just deleted it). I've left a tag asking for the removal of this user's talk page. Further explanations are available on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. This is the good one.

Six Million Crucifixions references

Mike, a few months back you left a comment on the Six Million Crucifixions page regarding references to sources affiliated with the subject, rather than references from independent authors and third-party publications. What if some of the third party remarks in the article were written directly to the author by all those scholars in the field of the book, none of whom are affiliated with the author? They are very relevant, very significant and independent, but they were never published in an independent publication. Esautomatix (talk) 01:38, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Vasundhra Chiyertra or Vasundhara Kashyap or both

Hi Mike. R,
Popular actress, whoever she is she rates 2 WP biographies! Anyway because you are an Admin and have reverted the unreferenced name changes before on 'Vasundhra Chiyertra', (as recently as December 24) I thought I'd let you know that she now has pages under both names. Perhaps I should just tag the newer of these article for CSD-G6 (db-copypaste) or A10 (db-same)?

Funnily both were created by Kofykat (talk · contribs), who was also one of those who was editing the 'Chiyertra' page without edit summaries.

The 'Kashyap' page also qualifies as a cut/paste move as they apparently created the new page here at 15:42:03, 12 December 2011‎ by copying the 'old' page, and then attempted, poorly, to re-direct the original page to it here at 15:42:42, 12 December 2011‎).

Probably the easiest thing is re-direct the 'new' page Vasundhara Kashyap to Vasundhra Chiyertra, assuming that is the persons' 'correct' name! The 'references' don't clear up the issues, other than #1 confirming she has changed her name (was 'Adhisaya)' and the 'Vasundhara' or 'Vasundhra' part.

I have left a cut& paste move warning on Kofykats talk page. If there is a better way to handle this type of situation in future, please advise. Regards, - 220 of ^Borg 09:16, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Page: Mohammedan

I'm curious, why did you undo my undo?

The criticism section currently [after your undo] states:

Alexander the Great and/or Cyrus the Great are considered Prophets of Islam

Also, as I told User:Jingiby;

Criticisms of Islam or Muhammad do not belong in this article, this article exists to describe the word "Mohammedan", it's origins and it's use.

There is a whole category devoted to criticism of Islam.

Cut and paste move of "Working Day and Night"

I am pretty sure that the correct name is "Workin' Day and Night" with an apostrophe. Obviously a cut and past move is unhelpful... but I think the correct response is to ask for a history merge, which I have now done. Yaris678 (talk) 22:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Requests for permissions/Rollback

Hey, Mike. I answered your question on the Request for permissions page. I am familiar with Wikipedia policy on using multiple accounts and the old account will not be used for sock puppetry. OSU1980 16:39, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate you taking the time to look into my inquiry, Mike. I really have nothing to hide. I was upset that the rollback feature was taken from me in the blink of an eye, so I retired the account. Then, in accordance with WP:CLEANSTART, I decided to open the new account. I went over the deletion policy much more thoroughly, changed my editing behavior for the better, and now after around 100 or so reverts due to vandalism I have had zero complaints against any action I have taken. I just honestly want to be on the team. I respect your opinion, and I have withdrawn my request based on these findings of fact. Thanks again for your help. OSU1980 17:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

One other thing, Mike. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate you letting me know exactly what I need to do to get from here to there. Should I start over again and just completely disassociate myself with my previous account(s) entirely? I guess I could make an inquiry with Maggie Dennis on how to handle the situation. It's just frustrating when all you want to do is the right thing, but yet somehow and some way there is always a roadblock in your path. OSU1980 18:31, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Andrei the Fish.

You've recently removed the page 'Andrei the Fish' that I made, quite expediently. I would've imagined it would take 2 hours if not more, which I assumed was plenty of time for my friend to see the I'd made a present for his fish as his Birthday whilst I'm away. But I guess poor Andrei will never get to see it.

Are you supporting Racism?

Mike, it seems you've made a lot of enemies here on wiki. Now, you'll add racist to your list of tags. It's so sad that people who do such great work fall to being a racist and deep down or fallible in the most horrible way. Why try to hide the truth from so many readers? People who read the yahoo news article and went to wikipedia was only looking for more information. Why prevent that? What are you trying to hide? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87truthseeker78 (talk • contribs) 09:04, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Did the school pay you to remove the wiki article?

Your explanation is sad.

The incident is not notable? Yes, that's why it was reported by every notable news source in America.

It contained both sides and references to both talking points but you erased it. Do you hate African Americans and believe they should be called "monkey" and "cottonpickers?" That's why you labeled the incident as "not notable" and said wiki is not a newspaper which is ironic cause it has a tab for "current events".

Sigh.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87truthseeker78 (talk • contribs) 09:10, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

No personal stake?

Seems you are racist. "attempt" was added because the mission statement seems out of place in the article when it was read.

You must have noticed that also because you REMOVED the school's mission statement along with the school's statement to the press and new articles written by reliable sources.

Instead of trying to "reword" or doing anything remotely close you removed everything as if the incident never happened.

Even stating that it is not notable. I hope that your grandchildren/kids will never be bullied and if so, someone else will not call it not worth of notice even if it made national news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87truthseeker78 (talk • contribs) 09:29, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Answer to 'Advice'

Thanks, Mike. It's not much about my needs, just want you to drop an eye on my first 'workable' article that I'd like to upload the next days. As you already know, I have used wikipedia quite rarely so I have never gone deeper into details. That would be my first 'official' material, thus that's why I've considered to ask for your help.

I've reverted the IP again. I hadn't realised that what had happened is that a new paragraph had been added before the lead. One of the sources is clearly unreliable, and if you agree with the last post at WP:RSN in the discussion on the EB, we should only use it where we have no better sources. I don't think the new 'almost lead' is better than the one that was left there, and I don't think the IP understands what they have done (and ignores any comments about the 'homestead' website.

Unknown reason for page deletion

Hello Mike Rosoft,

I have created an account on Wikipedia today, and have been working on an article intended for uploading. While my work was still in progress I suddenly found my page deleted. The article I have been working on had a title GCOMM (as it was a working title, not final).

Can you please advise me what would be the best for me to do in order to create and upload highly informative and objective article about an Australian managed service provider company as it offers new technology features. References list was still in progress, though.

- Please note that I am not trying to promote the company nor conduct any promotional content.

Your assistance would be of a great help for me, in order to successfully contribute to Wikipedia community and providing readers with strictly educative and informative article.

Thank you very much in advance!!

I think it'll be better if you did a 'nomination for deletion' rather than a proposed deletion, as it'll gather more opinions.
