VITA Zahnfabrik

Latest comment: 5 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi RHaworth, may I ask why you deleted yesterday my following request without any comment or explanation? Did I make any mistake? What can I else do for restoring the article? Thanks.

Hi RHaworth, long ago (in 2017) you deleted my page entitled User talk:Dinkelberger/VITA Zahnfabrik neu which should become a new version of the before deleted page VITA Zahnfabrik. I would like to edit the offending parts within a few days and therefore ask for a restoration either in user or draft space. Thanks in advance, Dinkelberger (talk) 08:27, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your teaching because I am not as experienced Wikipedia author as you, especially on the English pages. However, I would have expected more help than criticism. The "vandalism" was because my new thread was not inserted as expected at the end of your discussion, but in the middle. That's why I moved it immediately to the end. In the future, of course, I will do that through a revert and a new attempt. Since I was not the original creator of the topic, I am not responsible for uppercase spelling, but of course I could correct that in my intended deletion of the criticized advertising. Also, I have no connection to the company. She is in a neighboring town, I created the corresponding German article some years ago, discovered that it also had a short English article and just wanted to improve it. Dinkelberger (talk) 15:24, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

  • Dinkelberger, I suspect you do not know how to read a "diff" report such as this one. Also you apparently have not seen the words "deleted an existing discussion thread". If you look lower on this page JBuckley93 gets a reply even though their message was in the wrong place. As to your article - take it to DRV if you must. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:27, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of Moderation Management

Latest comment: 5 years ago10 comments5 people in discussion

@RHaworth: I've been editing Wikipedia for 13 years and I'm shocked by the speedy deletion of this one. I have a very difficult time understanding how this was deleted under G11 as the tone of the article was not promotional and the majority of citations were from scholarly sources and discussed the organization in a neutral way. I believe this should of at least went to AfD. Archive.org link for non-admins: https://web.archive.org/web/20190219111822/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moderation_Management . - Scarpy (talk) 16:53, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Almost by definition, a speedy deletion which is contested (on reasonably legitimate grounds) need to be restored (and presumably nominated at WP:AFD), and I'm sure that RHaworth will do this. Herostratus (talk) 21:45, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

@Herostratus: RHaworth is no where to be found. :/ - Scarpy (talk) 02:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Personally, I think the Wikipedia is a better place without the twice-deleted Moderation Management article. The group has always been small and I am not sure that it meets the notability guidelines for organizations. — Defendingaa (talk) 04:33, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
  • I have at times been told re my activities here: "get a life". Well, I do have a life and am currently living it with less time than usual for Wikipedia. Scarpy, you are hopelessly impatient and the way that you took the matter so personally and went to ANI (see below) is totally ridiculous. See my contribution history for my edits today. Is there anything more you want me to do? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:27, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Over the years, I've noticed there are personality differences between Wikipedians who mostly create content and Wikipedians who mostly manage content. If you're in the bin of Wikipedians that mostly manage content, it would be worth developing an empathetic connection to the ones that mostly create content. If someone sunk hours and hours of work in to writing with NPOV with the goal of making useful encyclopedic content only to be told their contributions were hopelessly "unambiguously promotional", I'd worry about the person who didn't have a reaction more than the person who did. It's important to take pride in your work because you're more likely to create quality work if you do.

There was/is urgency here because there was/is an AfD in progress on Death of Amanda Froistad and there was context for that article's creation in the Talk:Moderation Management. The deletion of the Moderation Management article also made Death of Amanda Froistad look less notable, not to mention it created the need for more context in that article to explain what Moderation Management is and why that was relevant to the confession being made. I also say, for better or for worse, many Wikipedians look at any deletion of an article as a black mark on it forever. In reference to Moderation Management people are still pointing out "it was also deleted once in 2007."

Deletion of Draft:Salvatore J. Salamone

Latest comment: 5 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

I was not given adequate time to respond to your request for deletion of this page. I do not believe this article fits within the criteria of section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, as it is not a duplicate of the previously deleted page. The page was completely re-done and has no similarities to the original article that was deleted in October 2018 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Salvatore J. Salamone. Did you adequately review both articles before you deleted this version?

For reference, I modeled the new version on the following Wikipedia page: Guy Goodwin. If you review this approved page, and compare it to the contents of Draft:Salvatore J. Salamone you will find it meets the same criteria for approval. Otherwise, please delete Guy Goodwin and any similar pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JBuckley93 (talk • contribs) 05:05, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

If Other stuff exists doesn't matter, then please explain to me how the notability and the use of reliable sources of draft:Salvatore J. Salamone are not adequate enough for keeping the page on Wikipedia, otherwise I will not know how to improve the page. I made sure to use sources and notability requirements similar to other, approved Wikipedia pages of notable scientists and am at a loss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JBuckley93 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Labour against the Witch-hunt

Hi, Re Draft:Labour against the Witch-hunt, deleted for copyright infringement. I did not know that this would happen to a draft. Please can I have the text back so I can resolve the issue? — Jontel (talk) 12:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

  • (talk page watcher) @Jontel: Unfortunately not, as copyright violations cannot be held anywhere on Wikipedia. However, since the text in question was effectively copied verbatim from this newspaper article, all you have to do is mine that for information and recast it in your own words. Incidentally, while terms like "witch hunt" are normal journalese, you should read our policy on our neutral point of view, and use...less colourful lingo :) good luck with the article. ——SerialNumber54129 12:54, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Serial Number 54129Thanks; I mean that the entire draft of the article ws deleted, and I did not have a copy. There were 25 references, not just the challenged text. One lives and learns. The name is the name of the organization which the article was about. — Jontel (talk) 13:27, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of CTP Invest draft page

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Captain Haworth, In December of 2018, a friend agreed to help begin a wiki entry for the company i work for, CTP Invest. He, also new to wikipedia, did a first draft and sent me a link asking to do a quick review, and if no problems, to hit the 'publish' button. I did a read, and thought it factually correct, and hit teh publish button.

Recently, i have been asked where the page is, and discovered that it had be almost immediately deleted by one, RHarwarth. i did a read to educate myself about the deletion process, principles etc. The entry you gave was 'copyright infringement'. What can be done to get the draft back up in action, and how can we resolve the copyright infrinement. it seems he may have simply copied some info from our generic 'about' page on our website. not sure that counts as 'copyright' infringement. In any case, what to do? and would be great to get the actual texts back so that we may re-edit them to avoid the infringing violations, if any.

I am the brand director at Ctp invest and together with my boss agreed to having an outsider do the original entry for our company. Best, Teakostel (talk) 16:37, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

  • Copying from your website is of course a copyvio. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone who is genuinely an "outsider", ie. has never had any contact with your company, thinks it notable and writes about it here. If you want to see the text, read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:18, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Deleted content for Greg

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi there, I noticed that an article of mine has been deleted for misuse of an article. I do not feel like I misused Wikipedia. Please let me know what I did wrong. This is all so new to me. The articles are The Grimm and Greg Ericksen. Also, I did not think they ever were published to Wikipedia-so I'm confused as why they would be completely deleted. I'll admit, I am on a learning curve and having trouble understanding this new world of creating and editing. Thank you for your help, JJ. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJ Erick (talk • contribs) 18:13, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Although I requested speedy g11, since an established editor.

Richmond County Country Club (New York)

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I am new to Wikipedia. The Richmond County Country Club was my first new submission. I was told the reason for the deletion was because I used copyrighted material from the club's website. Actually the material I used was from the golf association which was written long before the country club ever had a website. Yet the claim is that I got it from the website. How does someone know that I got the material from the website without asking? (Post submission noticed some material was a match to the associations material and asked club members how they built the website.)

Nowhere was I notified of the offending content. It is difficult to respond to generic messages. I was editing in a sandbox. I don't understand how or why a sandbox would be deleted. Was the deleted material archived and how do I get it back? Why was the delete done so quickly? I don't have the opportunity to check Wikipedia daily.

I have over 40 years experience in IT and have a good understanding of what is a sandbox. I'm a registered CMMI auditor and have implemented change, release, and configuration management best practices for very large well know organizations that work on a global scale. I was expecting feedback on grammar, content, and copyright infringement with an opportunity to satisfy all Wikipedia standards. I understand the workload Wikipedia reviewers must face and I continued to make updates post submission (I was working in a sandbox) to avoid copyright issues to to make sure what I wrote was correct in an attempt to help the reviewers. Thanks. — Cusack301 (talk) 22:59, 27 February 2019 (UTC) cusack301

  • Cusack301, slightly redundant to reply since, as I am very pleased to see, you have got over your initial annoyance and re-created the article. But I will reply to a couple of points. "I have over 40 years experience in IT" - so what? I claim 50 years experience but a) experience in IT has only limited relevance to editing Wikipedia articles and b) articles are judged on their content not on their authors. "How does someone know that I got the material from the website without asking?" Very simply: the page in question says at the bottom "All Rights Reserved" so your use of it was copyvio.
Here are my photos from the four hours I spent on Staten Island. I have mentioned on the RCCC talk page, the co-incidence of my encountering the Grymes Hill expert. Another co-incidence is that RCCC sells itself as a wedding venue but, quite rightly, you did not even mention it that in your article. The Great Hall, Toronto was built in 1889 just one year after RCCC started. It also hosts weddings. But it was its proprietor who tried to create an article about it here - see #Shouting redacted above and I zapped it because, as well as being a copyvio, the text was irredeemably spammy. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:42, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Module:HtmlBuilder/testcases

You forgot to delete this subpage when you deleted the main module. — {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 03:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Module pages are written in Lua and not parsed as wikitext, so you can't just add a CSD tag to one. — {{3x|p}}ery (talk) 15:48, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

  • I think you could have fixed the situation by re-creating module talk:HtmlBuilder/testcases with content such as: {{db|sub-page of deleted page. NB. please delete the module: page as well as this one}}
But I have to confess myself confused: I cannot see how module talk:HtmlBuilder/testcases got into CAT:CSD and thus came to my attention: the most recent edit to the page was in 2013 and a speedy tag was never applied to it.
On a slightly different issue, I recently deleted module:Diacritics/testcases which did have a working speedy tag on it. I am hoping RexxS will be able to tell me how he told the system "this page is in the module: namespace but it is to be parsed as wikitext". — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:06, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
That would be down to Pppery. Having gained consensus for reducing the severity of the edit filter that used prevent this, they moved a page that I had created in the [Module talk:] namespace (where the content model is 'wikitext') to the [Module:] namespace (where the usual content model is "Scribunto"). Sometimes this can be useful, so I don't object to the principle; my only objection was to moving a page where I was the sole author without discussing it with me first. For what it's worth, any admin can directly change the page content model at will. -- RexxS (talk) 23:27, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
  • RexxS, thank you for pointing me to Special:ChangeContentModel, something I had never noticed before. But Scribunto is not one of the options offered by Special:ChangeContentModel! It looks as though I could change the model for a page in module: namespace to something other than Scribunto but I could not change it back to Scribunto! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:31, 4 March 2019 (UTC)
    You might have noticed 'Page information' in the toolbox on the left, where one of the pieces of information is the page content model, which is a quick way of checking what the content model is for a page. I hadn't noticed that Scribunto is missing as an option at Special:ChangeContentModel, presumably that means you have to move the existing page without leaving a redirect, create a new page in Module: space (as that will have content model as "Scribunto") and then copy the contents into the new page. Finally clean up the edit histories if needed. What a rigmarole! --RexxS (talk) 17:43, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Please recover Self-Sovereign Identity article. This article is not about something that was invented by me. As I have replied in the reply "to speedy deletion" this topic is very well explored, it has a big digital footprint on the internet, it has big active live community that explores and publishes about this topic. Please see tag #SSI on Twitter, as well as other links: https://medium.com/learning-machine-blog/identity-and-digital-self-sovereignty-1f3faab7d9e3 https://ssimeetup.org/ http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2016/04/the-path-to-self-soverereign-identity.html https://www.moxytongue.com/2016/04/id2020-sovereign-authority.html Also! please note that this article has a draft page that was created 1 month earlier before I published my page.

RHaworth reposting call to restore the page, that I wrote on the user's page that proposed it for deletion. Cabayi, the references to two blog posts about the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity were provided because they are the oldest references about this concept that I can find on the Internet. They also describe it very well. I am OK to add references like this one - https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/magazine/beyond-the-bitcoin-bubble.html (the one mentioned in the draft by user Daniel H Hardman). We can use Daniel H Hardman's draft, but I like mine more as its explains Self-Sovereign Identity directly using the first principles. His by contrasting it to the usual digital identities. Please, help to restore the page so community that explores this concept figure out the best way to write about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kantakuziv (talk • contribs)

RHaworth I do not see my edits. Self-Sovereign Identity section in Digital Identity article already exist. Although it is vague and a bit misleading. I will definitely correct it using inputs from my original article and Daniel's draft. Please, show me how I can access my old article. Regarding writing in draft and then validating it with community, this just adds unnecessary hurdles IMO. It is much more motivating and engaging to publish life and incrementally improve it. Is it not the wiki way of doing things? I do not see what problem is here. Do you have suspicion that I am pushing my concept? I think we established that this is not the case. It is also not a brand or a product of some company. This is a long time emerging concept, that is becoming more and more defined. Why can't we write about it. Why these additional hurdles? IMO, we trying to write ideal article, instead of just writing, editing, adding upon. — Kantakuziv (talk) 17:41, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

  • You do not {{ping}} me on this page. "I do not see my edits" - do the phrases "user contributions" and "edit history" suggest anything to you? I am extremely dubious about whether this topick is worthy of an article in its own right. I therefore want a draft reviwer to give their opinion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

@RHaworth: "I do not see my edits" - found them in user contributions; as for "edit history" it does not work on Self-Sovereign Identity page. "Separate article" - this topic definitively deserves an article of its own. But, fine I'll write in the section of Digital Identity first. As for writing in draft - I do not see what the point is - who will see it? Who will be the draft reviewer? — Kantakuziv (talk) 11:11, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

  • I repeat: you do not use {{Reply to|RHaworth}} on this page - I am alerted automatically. You would use that tag if you were writing on another talk page and wished to alert me.
"Edit history does not work" - ridiculous! If you are referring to this history, it works perfectly: it tells you that there are no edits on this title but gives a clear indication that there used to be edits and gives a clue to where they are now. But why are you looking there when your contributions show that you should be looking at this history?
Once you click on "submit your draft for review" the article will be seen (eventually!) by a draft reviewer who will usually be an editor who specialises in doing that job. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:24, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

OK, I thought you wanted to be pinged specifically. If you are pinged anyway, what difference does it make, if I do it too. Anyway! I'll write draft. Let it be! "...gives a clue to where they are now" if there are clues - I cannot find them.

Please reply." you as written on the page Self-Sovereign Identity (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Self-Sovereign_Identity&action=history) "17:36, 3 March 2019 RHaworth (talk | contribs) moved page Self-Sovereign Identity to Self-sovereign identity without leaving a redirect". Then when you follow (in that line) the link to "Self-sovereign identity" page (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Self-sovereign_identity&action=edit&redlink=1) you can see record "17:39, 3 March 2019 RHaworth (talk | contribs) moved page Self-sovereign identity to Draft:Self-Sovereign Identity without leaving a redirect". But then! when you click (in that line) on the link to "Draft:Self-Sovereign Identity" (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Self-Sovereign_Identity&action=edit&redlink=1) you have a blank page without any content or history. So you have to pay attention at the page "Self-sovereign identity" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sovereign_identity) and see text under the red box - "There is a draft for this article at Draft:Self-sovereign identity." and click on the link to page "Draft:Self-sovereign identity" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Self-sovereign_identity) to find the page where the actual draft is and then check history for my contributions. For people who are not professional in Wikipedia editing this links chasing does not provides clues. Kantakuziv (talk) 13:06, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

"Indeed if I had been talking about Draft:Self-Sovereign Identity, I would not have said "gives a clue": I would have said "tells you". What did I do to that page with a time stamp of 2019-03-03t17:40:12? Please reply." as written on the page - "17:40, 3 March 2019 RHaworth (talk | contribs) moved page Draft:Self-Sovereign Identity to Draft:Self-sovereign identity without leaving a redirect". But because you have been changing case of the page title along with moving it from (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Sovereign_Identity) to the draft page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Self-sovereign_identity), it created mess of redirects. Kantakuziv (talk) 13:06, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

I am kind of OK to have this mess of redirects now, because I understand it and intend to write and have the article about Self-Sovereign Identity published, which will resolve this redirect mess. But in the meantime, if there is someone else who would want to start writing it might have a hard time of figuring it out. Self-Sovereign Identity is commonly capitalized by the identity community on Twitter and on the Internet. But if we stick to more general rules and have Self-Sovereign Identity not capitalized on Wikipedia. Then we need redirect (clear links) from "Self-Sovereign Identity" page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Sovereign_Identity) to "Self-sovereign identity" page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-sovereign_identity) and from there to "Draft:Self-sovereign identity" page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Self-sovereign_identity). RHaworth do you think it is reasonable? Can you add these redirect links? Kantakuziv (talk) 13:06, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Manuel Cortes Castaneda

Latest comment: 5 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hello. The page submitted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Manuel_Cort%C3%A9s-Casta%C3%B1eda?action=edit was rejected because the same bio information was found elsewhere on the web. I can write the bio section differently but I want to know how to get the draft version back to edit that section. Now when I log on the whole page is empty as if I had never started it. How do I restore my content so I can delete the offending section? Thanks! Annaleacortes (talk) 23:49, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Can you explain why draft:Manuel Cortés-Castañeda was deleted again, under "G7. Author requests deletion" this time. I gather you aren't much for offering assistance but I'm trying to learn to create content on wiki and would appreciate any guidance. Annaleacortes (talk) 01:39, 5 March 2019 (UTC)annaleacortes

  • Annalea, the phrase is "shooting yourself in the foot". Twice you have re-submitted the draft with the original speedy delete tag in place so as soon as you submitted it, it popped up at CSD - pointless. More importantly, it is pointless to re-submit the same text if it still contains copyvios. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:24, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

James Hilleary

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Dear Fellow Grumpy Old Man: Oopsie. I DO own the data that I used in the site you deleted.  :-) . You removed my article about the artist James Hilleary because I had engaged in unambiguous copyright infringement. You are concerned that I took the text from http://www.jameshilleary.com/gallery_reviews.htm. I understand why you might think that I copied the text, since jameshilleary.com and my draft article quote the same reviews. But I did not take the text from the jameshilleary.com website. I am the executor of Hilleary's estate. I have dozens of newspapers and correspondence and other original materials that I used to draft that article. BUT I understand that I might have violated Wiki standards by quoting several paragraphs of a couple of the newspaper articles. I would like to be able to fix that by removing the quotes. Could you please email the article to me so that I can fix that problem (and, um, any other problems you might have noted!)? Thanks so much.

Express Zip Software

Latest comment: 5 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, I am very new to writing and even newer to Wikipedia. I wanted to take my interest in desktop software to Wikipedia in order to share valuable user information with other software enthusiasts such as myself. When I first submitted this article, it was declined for basically not having enough third-party sources, which were described to me as reviews and testimonials that were more statements of opinion. I found it difficult to use those naturally in my article without directly quoting them, so that is what I did. Now, after my article was re-reviewed, it has been deleted completely. I am perfectly understanding that my use of sources and citations could use some help. I will always be a student in this sense and I am always eager to learn. However, when a student writes a paper and it needs improvements, it is usually handed back to them to fix. Not just thrown into the trash. I would be more than willing to continue working on my article to fix the issues that came about after my second submission. I have worked really hard on it and I hate to see it just get tossed without getting a chance to fix it. I feel like I really just didn't fully understand the rules or the consequences. I don't believe my article deserves to just be scrapped completely and I am hoping you will give me the chance to redeem it.

Is it possible to return it to the draft state and allow me to correct it? Am I correct in my understanding of why this article was deleted in the first place? At the very least, can I please have the content back? Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MellowModern (talk • contribs) 18:20, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for the additional information. My article was only a draft, though. So I should be able to just fix or remove the content that violated copyright regulations and re-submit it, right? Can the article be restored to its former draft state so that I can make the corrections? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MellowModern (talk • contribs) 14:29, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Request to restore Battle of New Orleans (2005). I saw this earlier today after Mr. Guye tagged it, I didn't think it merited the G10. I was in the process of declining it when you deleted it, and after thinking about it a bit I don't think it met the criteria for G10. It's a shit redirect, to be sure, but not a G10. More to the point, though, per the history, the previous content was merged elsewhere (and subsequently merged again) so if any of that material remains it's very possible we would need to keep this around for attribution purposes. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 22:47, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Paula Booth

Latest comment: 5 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hi RHaworth, thanks for keeping Wikipedia tidy! Someone who came to one of my Wikthons created a draft page on Paula Booth - the editor emailed me and said they were a bit muddled on how to disentangle this draft from a previously drafted article, and that they created the draft before they were ready to try and separate out the two, but it took me a week to get to their email and try to help with the situation because things have just been busier than usual. By this time you had seen the draft and quite rightly deleted it for copyvio, but AGF and sheer confusion by a new editor I'm wondering if the draft could possibly be restored for the editor to fix the copyvio (with my help if required - things are calmer now and I can be speedier!)? Thanks for your consideration. Zeromonk (talk) 12:19, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

I think they were referring to Kairbaan Hodivala-Dilke and Paula Booth, which do appear a bit messily interlinked at the top of the deleted draft you emailed over - thanks so much for sending the email (have had it set up for a couple of years now, but your walkthrough linked above is lovely and clear!), I very much appreciate you taking the time to do this.

John L. Weinberg Center

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi RHaworth, I just noticed you deleted Draft:John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. I had fixed all of the issues brought to my attention regarding potential copyright infringement, and provided such details in talk:StraussInTheHouse (the original administrator to flag it). I worked hard on it, and do not believe the most recent version violated any standards of integrity for Wikipedia. Please let me know if I am missing something here. Below are my comments regarding the corrections I made.

Citation 2 - Center Mission (source URL: https://www.weinberg.udel.edu/about-us/center-mission) --> I have deleted, what was, the mission statement quoted at length. I have replaced it with a succinct characterization of the Center's stated mission, while leaving the citation in place.

Deletion of Handball (wall game)

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I notice that you deleted the page I created, Handball (wall game) because it duplicated pages already existing, American handball and Gaelic handball. I created that page to be used as a possible merger between the articles. The reason I created that page is because I wanted everyone to see what a possible merged article would look like.

See the talk pages on American handball and Gaelic handball:

Hello, talk page stalker here. So you brought up the idea, got no support for it there, were opposed there, but decided to go ahead anyway. An entirely proper deletion, I'd say.
