Disambiguation link notification for July 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Time stretch quantitative phase imaging, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Imaging and Illumination. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

George Institute for Global Health

Hi there

I saw you recently left a note on the George Institute for Global Health page requesting a rewrite. I work for the George Institute (full disclosure) and earlier this year I submitted a rewrite for consideration on the Talk page Talk:George Institute for Global Health

It wasn't resolved at the time but if you could take a look back at the conversation and let me know if my last draft is acceptable or what else is needed, that would be great.

Thanks! Ktr183 (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

• Ktr183 and I dream of horses I have tried to see where I left a comment that this page needs a rewrite, and am unable to find it. Also, are saying you have a July 2016 rewrite? ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:48, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

OK I found what you are talking about in the edit history. I just re-read the article and I don't see anything wrong with it. I will read it again tomorrow or the next day and see if have the same sense about it. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 05:54, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! The last rewrite I submitted was in March 2016, but I can submit another if further changes are needed. The current published version of the page is a few years out of date so I've been trying to get it updated, but also trying to follow all the conflict of interest rules. Any advice would be much appreciated. Ktr183 (talk) 06:06, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Anthem of the Republic of Buryatia

I did explain in my previous edit summary. The last two lines in every stanza are repeated in order to follow the rhythmic composition. There is no chorus in the anthem. 50.204.218.144 (talk) 18:51, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I wasn't sure of your return here so I replied on your talk page [1]. Steve Quinn (talk) 18:59, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Aryan League

I found your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aryan League to be extremely unusual. Granted, it's obvious that Iran is not one of your areas of expertise, but to claim that you find it hard to believe a neo-Nazi or ultranationalist group could exist there because it's a Muslim country? Putting aside the fact that your personal beliefs are irrelevant to AfD, and that you don't have an understanding of the definition of "Aryan" as it is used and understood in Iran, not to mention the fact that most Iranians are not the religiously observant people you seem to think they are and that Western media love to portray as single-minded fanatics, you may wish to peruse the following articles: Pan-Iranism, Pan-Iranist Party, SUMKA, Revenge Group (Anjoman). You should probably put those up for deletion as well since according to your logic, they cannot possibly exist even under the dominion of an Islamist government. You may be amazed to know that just because a government calls itself "Islamic", the citizens themselves may not actually be buying the party line. I have no issue with having articles deleted due to lack of sources or verifiability, but to delete them based on one's personal biases or that one finds it "hard to believe" is bizarre, like how some Westerners find it hard to accept that most Iranians consider themselves "Aryan", which has been an endonym of Iranian-speaking peoples since antiquity or that they consider themselves just as Caucasian as Europeans. You may wish to study up a bit on the country and modern civilization before expressing or promoting such irrational sentiments on Wikipedia. The world isn't as simple or as black and white as Western propaganda makes it out to be. By your logic, since the Church of England is the state religion of England, the English must be a deeply religious folk and would never do anything that is contradictory to Christianity. Most Americans identify as Christian, yet they never do anything that is against Christianity. Right? DragonRouge (talk) 04:28, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

DragonRouge I'm not going to get bogged down in defending myself here. If you read the AfD my Ivote for delete was based on policy and guidelines. My suppositions were based on the fact that no sources could be found supporting the existence of this organization in Iran. I'm allowed to make all the suppositions I wish based on the knowledge I have. For example, I know the Iranian government can be heavy handed as compared to an American citizen's experience - and so on. I really don't know why you bothered to come to my talk page about this. The fact is there were no sources that indicated such an organization existed in the history of Iran - or Persia. That is why the article was deleted. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:42, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

I will also add that I also interpreted Aryan to be heroic leader - or actually of noble birth - according to Hindu Scriptures - in the AfD. So we have similar interpretations - maybe not exactly the same. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:48, 18 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm not sure if you actually looked at the change I made, but it was simply to point the (pre-existing) link for the DSV Alvin page to the relevant section of that page. No reference or citation is needed. As it stands, the link is extremely confusing and requires reading a majority of the DSV Alvin page to understand why it is being linked to at all.

But I've already said too much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:C458:6E40:6154:5008:ED7A:8909 (talk) 08:21, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't know if you will see this or not - I restored the link. Thanks for contacting me. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 22:06, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/London Buses route 53

Hi, you previously contributed to a deletion discussion for London bus route 99, another similar deletion discussion is ongoing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/London Buses route 53 which you may wish to give your input on.

Note: I've placed (or am in the process of placing) this notification on the talk page of anyone who took part in the original deletion discussion, as the most recent similar discussion, regardless of deletion preference, which is allowable under WP:CANVASS. The only exception being if that person has already contributed, or has indicated on their profile that they are inactive.

Thanks for your time. Jeni ^(talk) 10:31, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

American Solidarity Party

I see that you have supported deletion of the entry for the American Solidarity Party. The party has only become really active in the last couple of months - but membership has grown and there are now chapters in a number of states, a central committee was formed in early July, and folks are working to get on as many ballots as possible for this fall.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CBGJpQYqOThtl1WBxXoeBv3LH_HDv1nLSVZiQjvEwLY/edit#gid=0

In addition, the party has now gotten mention in First Things - http://www.firstthings.com/tag/american-solidarity-party.

Please reconsider your vote to delete for now as the Party is seeking to grow.

Thank you.
