Lewis Harrison bio deleted ?

Hi there.. my name is Drew. I am very new to wiki. Every time I try to post something there seems to be a problem, so I must be doing something wrong. I am a big fan of Lewis Harrison and decided to put up a wiki for him. He has helped me change my life. It seems that I messed something up again, and the page is now scheduled for deletion. How can I fix the page so that is jives with wiki rules, and does not get deleted. It took DAYS for me to put all that info together. Please help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhiMedia (talk • contribs) 08:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Regenerative Thought Programming ALSO Deleted. Once again I have done SO MUCH research on Lewis's RTP theory. The page is full of sources and references. PLEASE HELP... I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Thanks. PhiMedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhiMedia (talk • contribs) 08:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

• Simple matters: a) "every time" - don't exaggerate - I can only count two times, b) any page which "jives" is likely to be deleted as nonsense, c) we clearly have a problem of terminology - Regenerative Thought Programming – RTP contains absolutely no sources or references. My advice is: 1) build up a solid track record of edits to articles of undisputable notability - this the only way that you will convince me that you are not Lewis Harrison or someone associated with him, 2) come back and create these articles with links to reliable sources that demonstrate that the subjects are notable. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 08:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Reply: With all due respect... the guy has written over 20 books. I only has one natural healing coach, and it was Lewis. What else am I supposed to write about? Everything else I am into is wiki'ed to death. I was searching through and was actualy surprised that Lewis was not already on wiki (most authors are). I still really have no idea what is wrong with the page.... I was as straight forward, and named as many people that he worked with that I could think of. I figured out fans of his teaching, writing would see the page an add and edit it. (I thought that is how wiki worked). *2*

So what you are saying is that in order for me to write a page about one of my fav authors and a man you taught me almost everything I know in one way or another... is to become a full time wiki addict and edit a bunch of pages? Sorry that just does not make sence to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhiMedia (talk • contribs) 00:48, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

From one point of view my advice that you should become a wiki addict was rather pointless - yours is patently an SPA. We should simply accept that and have treated your submissions appropriately. Re *2* above: yes that is exactly how wiki works. Seems Harrison don't have as many fans as you thought.

Just out of interest: how come you were in Egypt to take Image:Lewis+Harrison.jpg and presumably you learned about RTP directly from Harrison since it don't seem to be published anywhere. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Reply: Did you actualy read the post? Lewis Harrison is a "life coach" and "business / spiritual mentor". After reading his books, I contacted him and payed him for many of his services. I don't know what is so hard to figure our about that. How is that so odd? And for the record, two people made edits to his page today. I sure if the page was to remain you would see my work added to, changed, improved on. That's why I put the page up. Period. If you are so sure that I am Lewis, or whatever your issue is... I have NO PROBLEM stepping out from behind my computer to make a long distance call to you my friend. I got your number off your website, I will give you a ring and we can clear this up if you wish. Just say the word.

As for the picture from Egypt, Lewis sent it to me in an email. I thought it was cool... and had never seen it on any of his sites or books and thought it was a nice picture to share with wiki. Is there something wrong with that TOO? danggg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.239.230.15 (talk) 20:13, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

And as for the RPT's... Lewis has taught that to 1,000's of people in his many Learning Annex classes he teaches in New York City. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.239.230.15 (talk) 20:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

• Kindly log in before doing any edits. I have already hinted that I am dropping any assertions that PhiMedia is Lewis Harrison. We can concentrate on the question of his notability. The AfD has been open for four days but no-one has managed to create a single external link that might demonstrate his notability. Of course there is something wrong with the picture: "Lewis sent it to me in an email" is an admission that you are not the copyright holder. Get a GFDL release from Harrison and apply an homest tag. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

AFD MBenzNL

Your point is that you dislike the upbeat tone of the Wiki. Unless there is a way to express the achievements of a person without sounding positive then how does one do so. I am more than happy to discuss other ways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Miroj (talk • contribs) 05:31, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I can think of dozens of Australians who deserve a Wiki and yet more Europeans. I don't ever see them waving a flag or taking about themselves. Someone has to come along and make those editorial comments as recognition.

Defining recognition as spam is something I find surprising. A) you need to be a car owner and b) you need to be a forum member. Then you pray and hope someone can solve your customisation problem. If you dont know Chip Foose then you are SOOL.

You need time for the forums to find this "spam" so they can contribute what they know. As already noted. Mbenznl has been in magazines several times. — Miroj (talk) 05:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

• There is a world of difference between encyclopedic tone and the way you write. Do you work in advertising by any chance. "You need time for the forums ...". What forums? Why should we wait? If there are no reliable sources already there, then he ain't notable. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 05:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I dont work for an academic press and I don't write for a living. I support the case for people who have been reliable, consistent, humble and beyond the norm. I dont think many Wiki-names can fill those shoes. At some point in time you have the credibility. I dont think that having a global share of the Mercedes aftermarket and being a one man show is trivial. It is a massive achievement. It is a massive achievement in any field of endeavour. It would be like Bill Gates writing the software himself and selling it door-to-door and getting a substantial uptake in 30+ countries. You can't do that with BS. You can't do that with a bad idea.

Dare I say it, if you owned a Benz you would know what I am talking about. He is more all less one of those people who shuns publicity and would feel no worse off if it were deleted. There are probably two more atricles come out in the next two months on him. There are thousands (not hundreds) of photos of his work. I shudder when I think that Lara Bingle got a page ... truly sends a shiver down me. Miroj (talk) 06:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Is there any chance someone would like to illuminate the subject of internet famous versus tabloid infamous. I think it bears more discussion than first suggested. Miroj (talk) 08:59, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Article has been rephrased and rewritten. Does it offer a better standard or content ? Miroj (talk) 23:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

• Now why on earth do you pick on Lara Bingle? But in fact it is an excellent example of why MBenzNL needs to go. Lara's article has a dozen links to reliable sources. All you have managed is one link to an article in Nederlands marked 'Advertorial'. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

All you are doing is recycling Public Relations junk. A machine setup to fill newspapers and apparently, fill Wikipedia. I have come to my own conclusions about all of this. Needless to say that holding on to trash media in favour of technical mastery has spoken volumes. Sycophantic to say the least. Now if MBENZNL could send his story to dozens of media outlets then you would gobble it up like drinking camels at an oasis. The world has many artisans. How many do you think are on here by comparison. Miroj (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Nicely done. The article was deleted without posting a notice in my talk page. That concludes the correctness of Wikipedia procedure. Obviously one rule for everyone else. Miroj (talk) 01:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

• Why should you expect any notice? You had waffled endlessly in the AfD discussion. You could see it was heading to a 'delete' result. Why should anyone waste any time leaving an extra message. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:42, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

• • A bit like asking why should anyone brake for lawyers. It's just a common courtesy and no, it was not obvious. Only what was obvious is that the large portion of comments came from people with a very limited idea of media culture. I happen to know very little myself but I know more than those commenting. Wikipedia is destined to become the bridesmaid in information culture. Though I do find your comments are well thought out. Miroj (talk) 07:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Roland Lee

I have finally been able to find the time to put something together on the watercolor artist Roland Lee. I've got it in my sandbox. The bio and some of is fairly complete and accurate. I still need to add a bunch of citations and refrences, but I'm wondering if it is complete enough for me to post it as its own page so that I can get the author to take a look at (and hopefully approve) it. I would also like to see if he would be willing to contribute some thumbnail or low-resolution images of some of his more prominent works (especially those cited in the info box) that could be used in the article. Would you mind taking a look at it for me and letting me know whether or not it would be in bad form to put it up as is? Thanks. jmaes123 (talk) 07:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Statue

Roger, you asked me the following question a few months ago:

Incidentally, if you are into artists of Utah, have you any idea why this statue should have been attributed to Neil Hadlock when it was actually done by Mark deGraffenried? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:00, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

So, I've been looking into this, and it turns out that Neil Hadlock is the owner of a bronze foundry here in Utah. He most probably cast the statue that Mark deGraffenried sculpted, and this might explain why it was attributed to him.

I hope that helps! - jmaes123 (talk) 03:50, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• It does help. The name of Neil Hadlock is set in stone one the base of the statue in Hull. It will give me great pleasure to tell the appropriate person in Hull to change it! — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:53, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
• That's hilarious! jmaes123 (talk) 05:20, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible to open up the ChondroCelect ® page again please. I do not believe that blocking pages' content after short notification times does really help to have articles fit into wikipedia standards...

Very useful reply mr H! Thanks for contributing to the openness and accessibility of Wikipedia to newcomers... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.79.190 (talk • contribs)

• Even newcomers are expected to contribute to the openness by logging in before doing any edits. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I understand your point, but can't loose the impression that harsh interventions as those you perform are not the solution. I now see that my IP address has been banned from wikipedia, which means no person having access through my network is welcome to contribute anymore... You might have an other opinion on some of the pages edited from here and I agree that working through a double account is not wikipedia friendly (now that I start to know the site I start to understand the system), but I am deeply dissapointed to now be banned indefinitely from the platform for such minor infractions. I have in no case committed crimes on this site. Would you please be so kind to indicate me which procedure is to be followed in order to regain access to the site? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.246.79.190 (talk) 13:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

• You IP address has not even been blocked - see the log entry - let alone banned. If it was blocked, you would not be able to edit this page. If you are receiving a message which tells you that you are blocked, the message probably also tell you how to get the block lifted. Read it carefully. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:32, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Ak'sent

You sure on this one? I deleted it myself previously as a copyvio, but this is someone with records on a major label. The content sucks, sure, but it's gotta start somewhere. Friday (talk) 01:39, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

• I will pretend I deleted it ak'sidentally. I just hate anything that looks like self-promotion. You could make a start by providing a link to the alleged entry in All Music Guide. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 01:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
  • OK. The content still sucks, and self-promotion is still a concern, but hey, one step at a time, right? Friday (talk) 01:55, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Slovakian space team

It was a typo in the header. I used {{afc t}} instead of {{afc top}}. I did not notice it was a copy however deletion under vandalism was completely inappropriate. I feel the AFC was created in good faith. A redirect would have been fine and I have recreated the page. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 13:40, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

• If it was created in good faith, please give me: a) some evidence for the existence of a "Slovakian Space Team", b) some evidence for the existence of the Slovakian Farthing in which their budget is designated and c) an explanation of why http://www.svoboda.sk/ which is claimed here to be their website is dead. Do I really need to take it to RfC? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 14:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

No, hopefully you and I are mature enough to figure this out. Here is the original contribution. Without a header and the correct formatting it made for a real mess. I was guessing based on the first sentence that the IP was going for Slovakian space team and based on their other edits that seems true. However I think a better wording would be Slovakian space agency (even though I am not sure one exists) as team seems to make people think of the actual astronauts. I found this which gives a little summary and this which seems to to show that Slovenia has joined the European Space Agency. I see nothing on that website although the word Svoboda is suspect. If you are really board you can read this powerpoint which seems to show that there is no budget or strong commitment from Slovenia which seems to contradict the IPs other edits. I put a note on the IPs talk page to come here and comment. I g7'd the redirect page. I did not revert any of the other edits they did. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 16:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

"Hey Buddy. First, there was no need to paste your article here. I know what it said."

One issue with your article is that you fail to explain why your organization is notable. The more important issue is that you have a blatant COI. You are also idle - you have not bothered to learn about wikilinks.

You should leave it to others to write about your group. You can raise the matter at deletion review but do not expect much joy. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 02:24, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Sorry that I didn't notify you when I removed your speedy tag from Greg Nelson (producer)‎, I still had it on my TODO-list to investigate notability for myself—assuming that what he wrote on his page is true, that he significantly contributed to those Grammy-Award-Winning titles, he is probably notable.

Deletion of article

Hey, before you go around deleting articles, why don't you take a look at WHY that article ahs been created. We reached a consensus on the International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia talk page, under the Change Map section, that the article needs to be split up. That's why I created an article actually dedicated to the Recognition, as opposed to Reactions Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence. Can you please revert your deletes and moves? If you're unwilling to do that, can you at least leave it for a few days until the requested move goes through that will actually separate the original article into two? Feel free to ask me any questions, but really, check out that talk page. Deleting without warning, uncool.Yarilo2 (talk) 05:52, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

• Is it too difficult for you to point me directly to the consensus thus: Talk:International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia#Change map?
• It is exceedingly strange; I will admit to deleting International Reaction to the Independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia but it does not appear in the deletion log! However this would appear to have been a straight copy&paste of the other article so little has been lost. Note also that the title should be International reaction to the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (lower case 'r' and 'i').
• I suggest you work on the new article in your own user space (eg. User:Yarilo2/sandbox) until it is significantly different from the existing article. When you launch it make sure that the edit summary explains what is happening and start with a short talk page that links back to the consensus. Do not just copy and paste the talk page.
• Be aware that Controversy over Abkhazian and South Ossetian independence also exists and should be merged in.
• Note that to give an article a new title you use move, not copy&paste (as you did when creating International Reaction to the Independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia). But clearly, if an article is being split then using copy&paste for one leg of the split is unavoidable.

— RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:24, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

1) I thought about it, but decided you might be confused as to why the consensus would be there, so I thought writing it out might be better.

2) Strange, yes.

3) The article was considerably different - different picture, shorter quotes, etc. I'm talking about International Recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia‎, not the one that was a copy-paste.

4) The renaming of the original article into Reactions is precisely so that we can incorporate the controversies article.

5) If I could move I would, but I can't (I think it's semiprotected), which is why I requested a move. Still, it doesn't give you a right to assume bad faith, and delete my article without either a speedy deletion, or a notification, or any looking into of any sort. I am sorry that this was my first move attempt with a semi-protect, but your actions were definitely lacking in communication and etiquette. -Yarilo2 (talk) 06:31, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

• No lasting harm has been done. Pretend like it never happened and start over. This time, don't use the word "move" in an edit summary when creating an article. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 06:52, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Too many similar titles - I am getting confused - and confusing myself because of my moves! But I have now worked out what you mean: this edit. It is there; available to you; you could have found it easily by looking at your contributions. So why are you complaining so much? Feel free to re post it, making sure that: a) it has a significantly different title (International reaction to the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia is just about OK), b) the edit summary explains what is happening and c) start with a short talk page that links back to the consensus to split. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:59, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I just noticed your redirect, why did you choose the Hottinger version (without u) to be predominant? De728631 (talk) 14:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

• You spelled it thus here

I've done some work on this page which is currently an AfD (and which you nominated for deletion). Nonsense though the science behind the topic almost certainly is, it does have some interesting history and might be saveable.

prod Jaago foundation

hi there, I noticed that you had prodded Jaago foundation. I didn't want to remove your prod because you may be right, but I think this foundation is possibly notable but not in its current form - Jaago foundation is worldwide and most notable for its film making for Aids. The Jaago foundation is a Bill and Melinda Gates related org. Here is a Reuters article on them. http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS176915+31-Jan-2008+PRN20080131 Not notable in its current form, but maybe in another form then?

Those charts came straight from these entities web site and can be easily searched online and anyone who takes this initiative can easily determine that HHN is not affiliated with them in any way.

Numerator entry

Hi, not wanting to start an edit war over something like this, but you made Numerator(fraction) a redirect based on the idea that we already have a Numerator article. I reverted this, but then you unreverted. I find this particularly bothersome because you did not transfer any of the information in Numerator(fraction) over to Numerator when the former had much more information than the latter and the latter was about a different use of the word numerator. - Mrchapel0203 (talk) 00:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

• Conversely, since it you who wants a separate article, you failed to remove the duplication from numerator. Indeed, why do we need numerator and denominator articles at all: would it not be better for both to redirect to fraction (mathematics)? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 00:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Not Spam, just trying to make a point.

HHN Records is notable, and I did prove that with independent Sources. I don't work for the label. I did it as a favor to them. I asked them if I could build a wikipedia page for them. How come this is the case now? This wasn't the case for the page to be terminated before. Then it was said the article lacked a secondary source, I posted links to other sources that were not from the label, but it was still terminated. Nobody even botherd to do their research. Also, I did not leave a message on your voice mail. GhostDog21 (talk 04:46, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Tamara Greene

Hello! I'm considering writing an article about the event involving this person's death and the murder's aftermath, something along the lines of The murder of Tamara Greene. Would you be willing to undelete this article to my userspace so that I can see what was there before and so that I can research and fill in the missing parts that prove her notability?

Thanks! Peace! SWik78 (talk • contribs) 14:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

• The most recently deleted version of the article consisted of: "Tamara Green was a resident of Detroit and a mother. Sadly her life was taken too soon. She was also an dancer and was thought to have attended some city functions in the greater Detroit area as noted in various media." The version deleted in June was a crude copy&paste from Kwame Kilpatrick#The murder of Tamara Greene. The topic seems adequately covered already but if you wanted to split murder of Tamara Greene out from the Kwame Kilpatrick article, that would probably be acceptable since the article rather long. (It is a sad but true fact that murder victims tend to be non-notable in themselves. That is certainly the case here and compare with Sally Anne Bowman.) — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

...or Tim McLean. Yeah, it seems as though there wasn't much there to begin with so I'm just going to start from scratch which, actually, is not a bad thing. Thanks for looking into this for me, it's much appreciated.

Peace! SWik78 (talk • contribs) 15:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

• Whaddya mean "start from scratch"? My point is that Tamara Greene is, of herself, not notable - she does not deserve an article. It is only her death and the circumstances surrounding it which are notable. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

By "start from scratch" I mean that I'm not going to expand on what was previously written in the deleted versions of the article rather that I will do some research, compile some references and start a brand new article focusing on the murder and the subsequent political implications for Kwame Kilpatrick rather than focusing on the person. I agree with you 100% that the person is not notable (and I never meant to imply that she was) and that only her death and the circumstances surrounding it are notable; I have no intention of focusing the article on her. But I guess I shouldn't be saying that I'm starting from scratch since there is already quite a bit written in the Kilpatrick article. I'll expand on what's already written, add more references and remove it from the Kilpatrick article while leaving only a basic description and a link to Murder of Tamara Greene.

Oh, side-note, it appears that by the standard of Refactoring Talk Pages that removal and editing of messages on User Talk pages is actually quite acceptable, and in fact recommended. I think there's too much emphasis on keeping material in User Talk pages such that harsh, mean, and uncomplimentary smudging is admitted and remains in User work environments partly due to bullying by those who present policy as including the untouched or intact condition of discussion therein, later even archived as such.

In fact, once the User has received the message intended for them by the original poster a removal of that message seems completely in order, and what is added to a User's Talk page and archived by them can and should be combed so as to remove uncouth and abrasive speech and tones, and keep Wikipedia a happy place.-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 15:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

• I have protected you user_talk page for a couple of days on the grounds that Wikipedia is not a free host. I gave you this warning. You seem to have completely ignored it. Your edits over the last five days speak for themselves - you have been simply tinkering with your user pages. If you wish to soliloquise, do so on your own machine.

• Thanks for letting me know what you are doing and how you are going about it. I understand that Wikipedia is not a free host. If i did not make that clear before, please accept my apologies. My interest of late has been to come to a better understanding and appreciation of the technical aspects of Wikipedia both with regard to User pages and category pages, both of which with i have been experimenting and attempting to contribute meaningfully.

Much obliged! :)-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 03:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

• With that in mind, would you please remove the protection from my User_Talk page so that it will not interfere with my Arbcom Request for Clarification that i have recently initiated as part of a refinement of the Pseudoscience category implementation? It seems a counter-productive action on your part if you're trying to get me more involved with the non-Talk and Non-User portions of the project to protect the means by which i will be able to communicate with others about these aspects of Wikipedia. Thanks for your consideration.-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 04:56, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

• Looks like it wasn't protected very long and won't impede any communications, thanks. Please presume Good Faith on my edits as i am a new user here and learning about the mechanisms and social protocols before moving on to namespace edits in an organic and what i presume to be logical manner. I am very conservative and aversive to edit-wars, plus my interests are pretty refined.

• To show you that i will do the same and presume Good Faith on your part, and since i recently read that User pages are for Wiki-related data only, i will blank my User page except for that Profile (whose template i grabbed from another User) and what does relate to Wiki projects.

Your reason for deleting the article is now contradictory. You initially cited G4 as your reason, not references. The references listed are completely valid, each giving credible websites to support the facts of the article. This includes three news organization websites, an undisputed video clip and an international student organization website. Or perhaps you deleted the page before I could finish referencing everything in Anthony's article?
