IMVU

Hi!

Someone added some moderately defamatory material to the page. Normal practice is to remove such stuff, meaning that it's no longer visible. However, this still leaves it accessible through the history, and this can be problematic. What we usually do is leave it there, and if there's a significant reason to, we "partially delete" the page.

What this consists of is taking individual "revisions" of the article, and deleting them. The rest of the article is intact, with a couple of odd jumps in the history, but you can no longer access the dubious material without having administrative privileges - in fact, I'm not even sure you can see the time-stamps of the deleted edits! This means that it's no longer published, and can't be accessed at all. We usually do this if someone's posted personal contact details, or Really Nasty Libel, or that sort of thing.

We also do it on request - if someone writes to us and says "there's nasty claims about me in the article, can you do something?", we go in and see what the situation is. If it's a simple matter of reverted vandalism or personal attacks, there's no reason not to nuke it.

Which is, pretty much, what happened here. Someone wrote to the Wikipedia enquiries address, which I help deal with, saying that there were attacks on them added to the page. I deleted those revisions. However, because people had edited the page after the material was added but before it was removed, I had to delete a couple of "innocent" edits as well, to remove the offending sentences. I checked the content of those, though, and all they seemed to consist of was people playing around with the external links section... and that seemed pretty prone to people just randomly replacing each other's sites anyway, so I didn't worry about it too much.

Hope that explains things! Let me know if it's unclear... Shimgray | talk | 23:47, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

SEER

Just thought I'd suggest paying closer attention to what you add to disambig pages ;) You added SEER when it was already on the list (admittedly tho, it was written out in longhand instead of the acronym so you probably didnt notice it) I left your post as it was more relevant, saying SEER on a disambig page about seer's =P Jihiro 13:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Redirect of IMVU Inc

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on IMVU Inc, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because IMVU Inc is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting IMVU Inc, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

IMVU

Hi,

That was a very polite request, so I'll happily make a compromise with you: I'll restore the article to your userspace at User:TJJFV/IMVU, and give you two weeks to clean it up. At the end of that time, if you've made changes that I think satisfy the guidelines, I'll reverse my deletion, and move the article back to the mainspace. If you need help, or specific recommendations along the way, just let me know. Best wishes, Xoloz 19:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I was a little slow on that; ten things can happen at once around here! :) I think my colleague at DRV did the right thing, and I have no further objections, although -- as I'm sure you understand -- if is always possible someone else might in the future. One of the advantages (and challenges) of wiki-life is that this place is never static, with new editors offering new insight into old content all the time! Best wishes, Xoloz 16:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Your request to restore LogMeIn to user space

Hello. I have restored this content once already, at User:DanielRigal/LogMeIn. Feel free to edit that version. Sandstein 05:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Goretex (rapper)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Goretex (rapper), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Goretex (rapper).

Orphaned non-free image File:IMVU example.jpeg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:IMVU example.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. JaGa^talk 03:47, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of IMVU

The article IMVU has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dmitrij D.

Refs ( re: Clonazepam, [1] )

On Wikipedia we tend to cite the review not the primary source per WP:MEDRS Best Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:23, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

@Doc James: I reviewed the page you linked to, and acknowledge that my removal of that reference is counter to that. Since that review is titled "Benzodiazepines in the treatment of epilepsy", and its statement "Dependence develops in almost one-third of patients who are treated with BZDs for >=4 weeks." is on the 11th page, only referencing "Marriott, S.; Tyrer, P. (1993). "Benzodiazepine dependence. Avoidance and withdrawal.". Drug Saf 9 (2): 93–103.", could there be benefit by including that direct reference in addition to referencing the generally preferred review source?
