WP:PERM/A

Hey Wifione, could you mark my request at WP:PERM/A as "not done" so it gets archived? Thanks. Epicgenius (talk) 18:30, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey Epic, I think Kudpung has already done that. Thanks. Wifione ^Message 15:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I guess I'll ask you again when sufficient time has passed, then. Epicgenius (talk) 17:33, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Help

Hi. I would like to ask for your help. I've spent a huge effort doing research and writing this new article of mine, Intercostal nerve block. After few minor improvements, I'm planning to nominate it for GA status. I'm convinced it meets the GA criteria, but I'm kind of new in this GA process, so your help would be appreciated. Maybe you could give me some advises or we could co-nom this article? PS. I've been waiting for your message you said you would send next day. I haven't find it. It's probably some email problem. Regards. Alex ^{discussion ★} 02:07, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

• User:Aleksa Lukic, the winter break has put me back on many replies, including yours. Do you still need assistance? Please do tell and I'll attempt to help as much as possible. Best. Wifione ^Message 21:30, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Bad Salad Page

I'm new into the editing tasks. Could you help me restore de Bad Salad Page? I think they now meet some criteria, like relevance, and this page should be restored. If knot, could you suggest me what sources I need to go for in order to prove some criteria points?

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vmartim (talk • contribs) 22:36, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Wifione, this user, who has no article edits under this account (actual or deleted), left a similar message on my talk page. There were two articles (using different capitalization). Bad Salad was deleted by you after an AfD. It was then recreated, and I deleted it per A7. Bad salad was then created, and it's virtually the same as the one you and I deleted. I've just deleted it per G4. I suspect there's also sock or meat puppetry going on as several SPAs have had a hand in all this.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:44, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Christian Stavrakis article

Hello, Wifi One: How do I go about un-deleting this article about myself? I can assure you that "Mortal Remains" is indeed an actual film currently being solicited. I will gladly provide external sources attesting to this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.17.96.41 (talk) 14:49, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

"Bad Salad" Article Deletion Update

Hi Wifione,

I hope you're the right person to talk about this article being removed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bad_Salad

I did a bit of managing for this article and I believe that due to recent success in the band's career there is now more than enough reason to bring this article back up. During the time of deletion the band "Bad Salad" was perhaps not notable enough but since then they have increased greatly in notability. They were invited by Mike Portnoy (Ex-Drummer of Dream Theater) to play a huge festival with plenty of very famous bands such as Animals as Leaders, Periphery, Devin Townsend Project, etc. More information about this festival can be found here: http://www.progressivenationatsea.com/

Proof of their participation can be found here: http://www.progressivenationatsea.com/lineup/

I hope to get the article back up as soon as possible. Please feel free to e-mail me at erez.bdr@gmail.com if you need any more information.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30B:8270:C8D0:1834:35B6:3675:B03F (talk) 03:19, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Reminder

You may remember writing "Morning Vejvančický. May I request you to give me perhaps another day to provide you comprehensive clarifications? I don't wish to delay this but my real life work is giving me extremely less time to answer. So I'm pinning my hopes on this Sunday to give you comprehensive and in-depth clarifications. I hope that sounds okay with you. Thanks (again) for the patience. Kind regards." I'm sure we'd all appreciate the in-depth clarifications. Please review the new Terms of Use that you have agreed to as well - "As part of these obligations, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." Hipocrite (talk) 13:50, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

• • User:Wifione asked for another day in January 2014, more than half a year back. I reminded him the unanswered questions in June, after he wrote that he plans to resume regular editing. "Surely. Thanks for the note", he responded. Now, he edits articles about supermodels (among other things) and don't bother to answer/clarify. What am I supposed to think about that? --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 11:32, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
    • Hi Vej... Don't wish to give you a wrong vibe. I think it's just a combination of too much personal work in my real life combined with the fact that when I log on to the project with my limited time, I invest that time doing things that have interested me and stuff that I enjoy... and have ergo kept on postponing spending the limited and valuable time I invest on the project to write answers for you. That's an honest answer. My apologies for the delay. Should have done the same long back. Will try to block some time in the coming days to reply to you. Hope I don't end up disappointing you again. And yes, it's good to see you around the project; and I do mean it. Best wishes. Wifione ^Message 08:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
      • "Will try to block some time in the coming days to reply to you" is an old and bad song. I don't want to patronize you, but a response, and not only to me, should be the first thing you do after you "resume editing", now matter how much you want to invest your valuable time doing things you enjoy on Wikipedia. It's a matter of honesty and integrity, I'm not sure if you realize that. You have opened the ER as an indignant and righteous reaction to Jimbo Wales' comment, but now you are trying to sweep it under the carpet. That's what I think. Please answer or I'll start a request for your ban and desyssoping as I would be ashamed to collaborate with people who avoid honesty and responsibility in this way. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:56, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
        • Vej, I know it sounds like an old and bad song... but it's not intended to slight you or the other editors on the review. Your queries (and so of other editors) deserve answers and I have no issues in answering them in the near coming days. Your threat to otherwise start a request for my ban and desyssoping brings down my respect for you considerably, especially in the light of information (as I'm now told by editors here) that it is copy pasted at the behest of some editors canvassing you for action on another external forum, where you are also perhaps an active member, apart from some other editors on my editor review. In the light of this, your allegiance to terms like honesty and integrity seems compromised. Irrespective of your canvassed threat, or of you coordinating your actions with editors on another site about your actions here, I shall surely look forward to answering your queries and those of other editors at the review this weekend or within a day or two of that, embedding these new details within my answers. Hope that seems fair... Regards. Wifione ^Message 05:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
