Vandal block
Thanks for blocking User:207.63.162.135 --Dweller 14:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Help
Kungfuadam, you recently deleted part of an article: [[ACM Forex]. If you notice this article and this article: Advanced Currency Markets refer to the same company. They are not a notable company for almost any reason and in no way even deserve to be on wikipedia, but at least they should allow people to modify what is written.
The edits I see as non constructive, are usually done by eithe the user, User:Acmforex or by the IP address 195.70.17.226
This user has a history of putting random ACM Forex links into other articles. These are some examples: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
I notice that within minutes of your edits they reverted it back, is there something that can be done about the users Acmforex, the ip addrss 1950.70.17.226, and the two pages about ACM forex and Advanced Currency Markets
Thanks

Deletion of 2000ad_prog98_bolland_kleggs.jpg
You deleted a recently uploaded cover image from 2000 AD (comic).
Please have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Comics/copyright#2000_AD
The copyright holders have granted explicit permission for the use of images from the comic within Wikipedia.
I had given the source of the image as well, so I don't think there should be a problem. Let me know your thoughts, and if you are able to undelete the image, please do so, or give me a good reason whey I should not upload it again.
Thanks, Ben--Bwmodular 16:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks--Bwmodular 16:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- I put a fair use image tag and a link to that discussion in the image. Hopefully that will suffice.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 16:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
DiskDB page
Hello,
I found article about DiskDB deleted by you with "CSD G11" code, means "Blatant advertising".
Let me biefly explain my goals. I try to create free, non commercial GPL-based public CDDB service because MAGIX start to commercialize aquired FreeDB service by remove free mirrors, etc and I'm not sure they continue freedb as non-commercial service.
I setup new CDDB service by myself without commercial ideas. I pay my own money for server and it's traffic.
I respect Wikipedia rules and carefully read "How not to be a spammer" wiki gude and start new article without any advertising goals. I even didn't put a link to diskdb from wikipedia:freedb to avoid any suspictions about spamming and I made the same page as article about freedb.
Please tell me how to create apropriate page about DiskDB.
Thanks.

What is it going to take to stop this. I cant add actual content that matters and is relevant. Can this be locked or something? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SF100 (talk • contribs) 15:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

Hi from another victim of Johnny the Vandal!
Hi. I see you've also fallen foul of the "Johnny the Vandal" idiot. Can you remember what you did to offend him? He's been after me for so long I've forgotten! Regards, Arwel (talk) 18:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I probably blocked one of his sockpuppets.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 00:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

- Your IP made an unconstructive edit back in February. Don't worry.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 00:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I thought I'd pass this along to an admin. The user Kwlow appears to only have the purpose on Wikipedia of adding links to Dread Central. The same user is also the creator and most substantial editor of Wikipedia's Dread Central article and also added the Dread Central image. The list of edits/advertisements that Kwlow has added to Wikipedia seems to be substantial, many of them unreverted. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, all (or very near all) of Kwlow's edits appear to be related to marketing Dread Central. This seems to be a severe problem editor that has gone unchecked.

Your block of Arwel Parry
Can you explain why you blocked Arwel Parry [8]? Scobell302 04:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- After some discussion on IRC, we can't figure any way to interpret this but as a case of "hitting the wrong button." With that in mind, and because you seem currently unavailable for an explanation, I've taken the liberty of unblocking for the time being. If my understanding is in error, you have my most sincere apologies. Luna Santin 08:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- This was the case of hitting the wrong button, and I am sorry. I thought that was one of the Johnny Vandal sockpuppets. I accidentally blocked the one one the wrong "diff".--Kungfu Adam (talk) 13:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- This is what I get for editing Wikipedia while drowsy. There should be warnings on such things- "Don't operate heavy machinery or Wikipedia while taking medicine or otherwise sleepy..."--Kungfu Adam (talk) 13:48, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Shock
I see you removed the db-redirtypo on Haemorrhagic shock. Surely we should either adopt the English spelling (Haemorrhagic) or the American (Hemorrhagic) - each has a single M and a double R. It seems odd to retain a mis-spelling when we do not have one of the correct spellings! Finavon 16:56, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Redirects are cheap, and common mispellings are good redirects to have. I see that someone else deleted it, so very well.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 16:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- No-one has deleted it. The red link is the English spelling. Should I just create a new redirect page, or can you rename/delete the present one (Hemmorhagic shock)? Finavon 17:07, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Image deletion.
You're going through I5s rather fast. Are you running a bot to delete them? If you're not, can you slow it down a bit? Will (Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 22:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- These are all in speedy deletion category- they are safe. No, I am not running a bot... I am using Firefox tabs, about 20 at a time.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 22:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
you are really cool
yes. that is what i think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yokenthwaite (talk • contribs) 18:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
Adam Tihany Deletion
If I understand the definition of the code csd A7 correctly, then it would be because I requested it be deleted. I did not request it's deletion. Can you be a bit more specific please? Postcard Cathy 22:04, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- CSD A7 means the person, place or thing was not notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 13:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Could I please get that restored to my userspace, as User:SMcCandlish/Temp/M (singer)? I was on wikibreak when it got prod'ed, and there is certainly enough material about this person to cite multiple, independent, reliable sources to produce an article worth keeping. Thanks. :-) — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 00:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- Done.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 13:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert
Tank you for the revert on the Riitta-Liisa Roponen article. I greatly appreciated it. I also let User:Brownonthetown know that what they did was blatant vandalism. Apparently this user has also vandalized four other different articles as well. I suspect they got it using the Random Article hit. They may be a new user as well. Another vandalism concern was added by an anti-vandal bot on this user's talk page as well. Chris 23:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

You deleted #2 for completely **no reason** and just #2, not the rest.
Can you explain? DyslexicEditor 09:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- This was marked as an orphaned non-fair use image that was linked to no article for more than 7 days. I was just cleaning out the category. I can restore it and remove the tag, but it may not save it from deletion later. I am not very familiar with the image copyright issues, but when the images are marked for speedy deletion, they can be deleted.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 17:36, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

You deleted the Aegis online Game wiki. Please can you show me the contents and also tell me where to find the reason for its deletion. Thanks -- SoulAngel 21:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
Why delete/protect a talk page?
What's the point of protecting a talk page? Surely the whole point ofthe talk page is that it's open to discussion? Wikipedia doesn't seem like the encyclopedia anyone can edit anymore... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ronnierosenthal (talk • contribs) 11:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC).

Deleted image
You deleted my image File:Cityrailfleet.png without even telling me you had done so, or giving me a chance to put my side of the argument as to why it was fair use or not. I expect better from Wikipedia editors. That is NOT FAIR and not according to protocol - you should at least message me if I put in the hangon tag! Can I please have a chance to explain the fair use, which you probably didn't read - at least one of those trains does not run on the network at present, and it's impossible to get a photo of it; additionally, it's not the sort of thing that could be replaced with photos as the nominator asserted; it's a diagram for illustrative purposes. So can I please have a chance to explain this? If not, I need the image for some information retrieval - can I please have a copy of it and then have it deleted? JROBBO 08:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Problem with 1990s fads and trends in North America
I don't know if this was your intention, but you deleted the best version and replaced it with the worst one. Can you please undelete the better version? A few of us copyeditors spent some time copyediting the article to bring it up to a tolerable standard. It makes my spirit sink seeing the nightmare I first came across now assume supremacy.

Toyota template
Mr Kung-fu Adam
I am wanting to create a bottom of the page template for Toyota cars, like ones for US states. where one can click any other state on the template, instead of going down to the Category page for US states. How is this done? Angry Aspie 16:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Go to User:Kungfuadam/Template:Toyota cars and edit it to your liking. I took this from another Toyota template. When you are ready to make it live, let me know, and I will move it to the Template space. You can go ahead and edit this template to make it appropriate to what you need.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 18:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

ALSO- can you please fix the auto generation infobox on the Toyota Camry Hybrid page? Angry Aspie 19:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

You state "(copyvio [13])"

Thank you. Bkwsu proposal page 03:59, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- It was a blatant copy and paste from this website. Also, Wikipedia is not a place to post original research. Wikipedia's copyright policy prohibits copying and pasting from websites, even if it is your own. Wikipedia is not a mirror.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 18:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- How or where were you alerted about this? What point of view are you coming from?
- I ask this because another contributor, an active BKWSU member, has been engaging in editwarring and has been using a number tricks to try and block my contributions, e.g. sockpuppet accounts to places blocks and lock article, bogus vandalism charges. I agree that a some of the article was cruft. It was actually a sandbox to try and resolve issues.
- I am concerned that you have willfuly misled and that this individual is still up to his tricks.
- Bkwsu proposal page 01:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- Adam, I'd like to quote Wikipedia:Request_for_immediate_removal_of_copyright_violation
- "Important notes
- Facts cannot be copyrighted, only their expression. [One] cannot claim copyright on some Wikipedia article just because it happens to cite the same facts as a text or page that [one] wrote; [one] may only claim if the text in the article was lifted from [one's] work.'" This is not policy, it is the law.
- Now, excuse me but this page was in no imaginable way "blatant copy and paste", original research or mirroring, so can we please resolve this matter? What went on here, how were you alerted to such a specific item?
- Thank you. 195.82.106.244 06:53, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

BreadFish deletion
Hey there!
I noticed you cited csd g11 as the reason for the deletion of the BreadFish page. I'm curious as to what qualified the page for deletion given that the pages for related subjects - Fusebox, Mach-II, and Tartan - remain.
I'm also curious as to what criteria the stub for Tartan (a page composed entirely of two sentences: "The Tartan Framework is a 'command-driven' service framework for ColdFusion. It was developed by Paul Kenney.") meets that the page for BreadFish did not.
If the article needs to be rewritten to become more encyclopedic, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Thanks!
-- Russlebo 17:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I restored it, but someone else might nominate it for deletion.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 19:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Great! If you could let me know a bit about what exactly is questionable or direct me to a good resource, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.-- Russlebo 19:52, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Isilon Systems article deletion
Dear Adam,
You recently deleted Isilon Systems under G11 and I am interested to know the reasons for your decision to deem it as advertisement. I my intention for the article was purely information and the description was drawn from various financial information website such as Yahoo and Google finance in addition to the company website.
I also would like to know if there is a possibility of temporarily restoring the article so that it may be revised to fit Wikipedia guidelines. Thanks you.
Cheers,

Typo amends with AWB
Hi. Please be more careful with your typo amending. You recently amended "truely" to "truly" in Chess, a Featured Article. In this instance "truely" is the correct spelling, being a verbatim quote from a text several hundred years old. Fortunately, a number of editors are working on the article at the moment, (having just saved it from being defeatured, it still needs some work) so the edit was spotted, but please be careful. --Dweller 09:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
1974-1975 United States network television schedule (weekday)
Is there any reason that you deleted this article?
-- Attmay 19:56, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- It's not an article... It is just a schedule. Doesn't merit inclusion in Wikipedia.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 20:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
It is a schedule, but I have attempted to follow the formats of all the other historical US TV schedule articles (the prime time and Saturday morning ones), which apparently do merit inclusion in Wikipedia. Attmay 20:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Show me an example of one of these. "The existence of one article on Wikipedia doesn't necessarily merit the inclusion of another..."--Kungfu Adam (talk) 20:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- For a specific example how about 1967-68 United States network television schedule. There is also a whole category, each entry using information that is in the public domain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Attmay (talk • contribs) 20:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Any reason for the reverting of the article? Steeden 06:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

You deleted a page I wrote called Living With April.
Could this please be re-instated? I'm the writer of the musical, and am currently writing a new piece commissioned for an off-West End production, so there will be more going up there in the future.
Many thanks,

RUBS
Adam, I was searching for some information on RUBS (Ratio Utility Billing System) and, as usual, turned to Wikipedia. I Googled the term, but when I arrived at the Wiki page, the article had been deleated. By you.
I returned to the Google page, and went to the cached article (thanks Google!). I found the deleated article very helpful and informative. I'm just curious why you chose to delete this article. The information may not be perfect, but its better than having no information at all. Better to revise it than just destroy it altogether! Plus, I'm sure someone spent a good amount of time putting that piece together. I would like to see the article reinstated. Thanks. --Kek926 01:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
Could you please let me know why you deleted the Portos page? Portos is a Real Time Operating System in development. I saw the comment "Prod Fails". I don't understand this comment. Thank you and regards.

Deletion of the Awesome Library page
I noticed that you deleted the Awesome Library (www.awesomelibrary.org). You stated that the reason is that it did not have a high rating with Alexa.
Sorry to inform you, but Alexa is quite unreliable. You need to use other sources of information to determine if the Awesome Library is a major database or library for the Web. For example, try "library" on Google (or other major search engines). Out of hundreds of millions of libraries on the Web, it has been in the top ten, usually 6, 7, or 8, on Google. The libraries above it are the New York Public Library, Library of Congress, etc. Clearly the best libraries in the world. Try MarketLeap to determine the Awesome Library's penetration of search engines. Do more than look at Alexa.
Try "k-12" on Google (or other major search engines). Try "k-12 directory," "k-12 library," "middle east conflict," "road rage," "gun control debate," "sustainable planet," or hundreds and hundreds of topics the Awesome Library covers. You will find that many rank in the top ten in search engines. Also try: http://www.awesomelibrary.org/recog.html to see that hundreds of top Web sites recommend the Awesome Library.

School block
Hello, you blocked IP Adress 165.139.129.1 for "vandalism." This is a school adress, and now all of the school's computers have been blocked. I would ask that you unblock this adress in the interests of the rest of our school's students. The student who was responsible for the problem has been dealt with accordingly, and there should not be any future problems.

I don't understand why you speedied a stub article about a notable figure in sports.
You did so without even bothering to include an edit summary explanation, far less doing the courtesy (when speedying an article placed by an established editor) of placing a note on my talk page.
I note that whoever it was that tagged it did so {{db|NN-person}}. In the absence of any edit summary from you, or note on my talk page, you must agree. I'm astonished. Kindly restore it. --Dweller 21:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Why was Robotube Games deleted? Doesn't make sense...company has been around for a long time.

Folly Fellowship
Folly Fellowship
I see that the page I put up describing the organization the Folly Fellowship has been deleted without any mail to me to tell me why. In the log it says Non-encyclopaedic style, non-notable, and linked by only one article. The links I can understand, but what does non-encyclopaedic and non-notable mean? I've looked at pages for similar conservation societies such as the Churches Conservation Trust and West Midland Bird Club can't see any essential difference. please explain what I need to do to get my page back.

Bernadette Sands McKevitt -->> deletion of
Hi. I was wondering why this article was deleted. Sands-McKevitt is notable for a couple of reasons. One of them is being the sister of Hunger Striker Bobby Sands. The other is for being the co-founder of the 32 County Sovereignty Committee. This person has some significance in terms of Northern Ireland's history. I can't remember what state the article was in prior to its (sudden?) deletion, nor can I remember seeing any warning that it was going to be deleted. I do remember having cause to look at it or edit it recently, though I can't remember why.
Links to the article include:
I have no idea how many out-going links from the article there were, as I have no way of accessing an archived copy of it. The article had been marked as part of the Belfast WikiProject, and comes to my attention through my regular examination of the project's logs.
The deletion log[14] states deleted "Bernadette Sands McKevitt" (csd a7) - I have no idea what a csd a7 is. --Mal 06:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Why did you delete Bernadette Sands McKevitt without warning, she is an important figure in Irish republicanism--Vintagekits 09:31, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
- Mal, CSD means "Criteria for Speedy Deletion" and A7, one of the reasons something can be speedied, is "not notable". Kungfuadam - I agree with Vintagekits, Bernadette Sands McKevitt is certainly notable. Can you please undelete, and if you disagree with her notability, follow process and nominate on AfD? Thanks. Bastun 11:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Two Rivers,
Adam,
Thanks for deleting the Two Rivers Magnet Middle School page. My son had asked about making an entry for his school, but I didn't realize he had already put it in.

Algonkian Writer Conferences
Dear KFA,
I modeled the entry for Algonkian Conferences after Breadloaf Writer Conference. All writer conferences are for-profit, they all teach writers. Why should Algonkian be singled out for deletion? What makes us worthy of being reduced to oblivion?

The Editor on Algerian Aviation
Hello. I see that you removed my report on the anonymous editor who keeps listing non-existent flights. I agree that some of his edits are in "good faith", but if you see the majority of his edits, he keeps putting non-existent flights all over the place. I've been checking oag.com and amadeus.net for the accuracy of the flight schedules, and most of his edits do not check out. /ɪlεktʃɹɪk bluː/ 19:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- That is a content dispute that should be taken care of via other means. If the editor is violating the 3-revert rule, you can report them there. The Administrators' intervention against vandalism is for reporting simple vandalism.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 19:59, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- I see. Then can you please explain to me what the boundary of content disputes and vandalism are in this context? If someone writes that American Airlines flies to Antarctica, which is incorrect, would you judge that to be a content dispute or vandalism? I hope that this wouldn't strike you as me being rude, but I have been monitoring the activities of this specific IP editor, and most of his edits simply are not verifiable through independent means. Cheers. /ɪlεktʃɹɪk bluː/ 20:11, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- I understand your point of view. If the posting of incorrect information continues, feel free to repost their IP on the Intervention against Vandalism page, and another admin may feel differently. I will leave it alone this time :)--Kungfu Adam (talk) 20:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Gaussian Belief Propagation -->> deletion of
Hi. You deleted my article because it wasn't notable? I stronly disagree with your decision, it's an important concept on its own and it should be in the Wikipedia. Though there's an article about Belief propagation, it only deals with discrete Belief Propagation, and not with GBP. Perhaps we should add my article to the general article, but there's certainly no cause to delete it. I submit that it should be restored, and then there should be a discussion whether or not it should remain an independent article, or edited into the general article.
Thanks in advance. Zluria 14:47, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Deletion procedure appeal against the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fausto_Intilla

- http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Fausto_Intilla
- http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Fausto_Intilla
He is also well-known to the Italian Wikipedia Community for his abuse of his user page: in fact his Italian user page has been blocked and erased (see http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Fausto_Intilla and the related discussion http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:Fausto_Intilla). Moreover I think that the contents of this page are not encyclopaedic and that his books are of very little reliability because the Italian publishing house Lampi di stampa can print any book to everyone by paying.

Real Centrifugal Force
Hi Kungfuadam, I am writing to ask you why everybody is so keen to erase all suggestions that centrifugal force is a real force?
You yourself came in on the back of Henning Makholm and reverted his reversion.
Do you guys actually know what you are talking about? I read your original page on Centrifugal force and it was an incoherent shambles.
I tried to tidy it up and shorten it to key points. I have encountered nothing but resistance from elements who appear to know nothing at all about planetary orbital theory. I have now had to give two references, but they don't read the references. They delete religiously as if they believed that they were the last word on centrifugal force.
I can assure you that the centrifugal force is a key element in the differential equation for planetary orbits that leads to the elliptical, parabolic, and hyperbolic solutions.
My own physics department taught me that centrifugal force was only fictitious, but this fact is not born out when one studies orbital mechanics in applied mathematics.
I suspect that at best, these are physicists that are doing the reversions. Most physicists in my day never took those advanced courses in celestial mechanics. I suspect that this has been a widespread trend in recent times.
I can assure you that if you want this article to revert, it will be a very unprofessional article in which centrifugal force has been totally confused as being something exclusively relevant to circular motion.
I have been referred to as a vandal, a crackpot and spam by zealous Wikipedians who clearly haven't got a clue what they are talking about. As an administrator I would be most obliged if you might request that these censors at least put their reasons forward, instead of using short captions like, vandal, false edits etc.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely David Tombe 10th February 2007 (210.213.229.36 15:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC))

Wildercon
Hi, you deleted the Wildercon entry from the Wiki saying that it was just another non-notable fan event.
This is not true, Wildercon was the first anime festival in the UK of it's kind. It intruduced many new things to the anime comunity and set a number of things that have since been adopted by other events.
I see there no reason why people should not be able to read about this peace of UK anime fandom history on the Wiki.
Can this be re-instated? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wraith2 (talk • contribs) 11:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

I see our entry on a similarly pitched level as these, so I would be interested to know why it was removed even after it had been re-edited. How cam I go about relisting again? Thanks.

- Roper Industries and Microsoft are NOTABLE companies.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 16:11, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Kungfu Adam
How do you define NOTABLE companies?
Mark Andormarketing 08:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Adam Any more feedback on this?
Mark Andormarketing 10:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well... asking three times for something I left right on your talk page isn't useful and leads to nothing. If you don't understand WP:ORG and/or its application to the case, please explain why. Thank you and Happy Editing by Snowolf(talk)CONCOI on 10:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Apologies, I am still discovering Wikipedia's protocol.
Having looked at the definition of WP:ORG I would still like to appeal your decision on the following grounds:
Andor Technology plc is a publicly listed company (PLC) listing on the London Stock Exchange in December 2004 (AIM). If you do a Google search on "Andor Technology" there are 63,300 hits, the majority of which are not Andor owned. We have several newspaper articles and TV/radio reports on Andor concerning our achievements as one of UK/Ireland's leading technology innovation companies. PLease refer to Invest NI (local Government body) if you need testimony to this.
In 2005 Andor won Company of the Year in Northern Ireland (run by The Belfast Telegraph). We are also recipient of many awards and accreditations such as Queens Award for Export 2005, ISO 14001: 2004, ISO 9001: 2000, Investors in People 2003 and several awards in Marketing, Innovation and Health and Safety.
In addition to this there are many scientific papers published which credit Andor for supplying cameras used in their research.
I understand Wikipedia's stance on blantant commercialism and advertising, but I do feel very strongly that Andor Technology deserves a place in Wikipedia as an innovative company and a leading light in the current Northern Ireland economy.

Medicine Show deletion
Hi, you deleted my article on the London rock and roll band Medicine Show. I see no reason why this was deleted as it was relevant. The band are newsworthy after permorming live with Pete Doherty, being in several national magazines as a hotly tipped band and being hand-selected to play at Paris Fashion Week by i-D Magazine. Their forthcoming EP release is also hotly anticpated with advance orders of over 1000 copies. Medicine Show may not yet be a huge band but they are certainally of some interest and therefore surely deserve a place on wikipedia. The reason for this page being deleted was not made clear as you also deleted it's Talk Page without posting a responce. I hope we can resolve this matter as it took me a fair while to enter the information. cheers - Marc —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xchilde haroldx (talk • contribs) 15:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
- Please review WP:BAND--Kungfu Adam (talk) 15:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Medicine Show deletion 2
"A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
- It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
Medicine Show have been featured in i-D Magazine, Wig Magazine and Ny2Lon online fanzine. These are all independant, national and international publications and therefore qualify as non-trivial works under Wikipedia's guidelines. Again I see no reason for this page to have been deleted and hope to see in reinstated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xchilde haroldx (talk • contribs) 15:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
- If you would like to contest the deletion further, please bring it up at Wikipedia Deletion Review. Please notify me if you actually decide to do this. If the community decides to overturn the deletion, it can be restored.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 15:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Medicine Show. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Xchilde haroldx 16:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- I think you need to explain at deletion review why your final deletion cited WP:CSD#G4. That only applies to material deleted via an XfD discussion. Where is the XfD discussion? Alternatively, did you mean some other speedy deletion criteria? Friendly questions from a DRV wikignome and the current default closer. GRBerry 16:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Nicole Hollander
Hi -- I restored Nicole Hollander. She is a nationally syndicated cartoonist and therefore notable, or at least not speediable. I'm working on the article -- you may not have seen my update (more coming). Thanks, NawlinWiki 15:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Very well, thanks for letting me know.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 15:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Musicovery
It seems overly rash on Wikipedia's part to subject the Musicovery article to speedy deletion. Perhaps it may not be as widely known as its competitors Pandora and last.fm, but it is certainly notable. First of all, please see the links on the archived article page, they direct the reader to external reviews of the Musicovery service. Secondly, a recent Google query for "Musicovery" led to 496,000 results returned. Thirdly, the article highlights the novel "mood map" feature of the Musicovery service, which is found on no other Internet radio or music recommendation service. I believe that the company, though small, is well-positioned as a competitor within the Internet radio market. So clearly Musicovery is not "unremarkable" as noted in the deletion tag.
Waterguzzler 18:39, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Kungfu-- may I ask why a collective entry I edited for a group of avid Wiki users and internet radio fans called "Planet Zeb! Internet Radio" was deleted? We actually did RESEARCH for this particular entry, and believe that since the station and its operator are one of the longest-running independent internet radio streams continually in existence (and yeah, I and a few others who had the idea are now friends of the operator, as well), they've sort of earned their place in internet radio history. And we like the station, as do a lot of other people, as well. :)
My impression was that this article was properly composed, properly cited and generally objective. I have noticed substantially more "puff promotional" type pieces for a number of other independent internet radio stations (e.g. "Rockland USA" and "MAK Radio") that have not been around nearly as long or whose operators don't have nearly the same history as Planet Zeb! or Zebby Rhoads in the rapidly emerging world of webcasting. If you could please shed some light on why you deleted this particular entry on 1 March, I and a few others would appreciate a clarification.
Option (company)
I see you deleted Option article. Let me say it was a fully legitimate article although it sure need to be improved. It has a great turnover and many important clients like Siemens. There are only two or three company in the world that already ships HSUPA. Other identical companies are already in Wikipedia: Novatel Wireless, Sierra Wireless, Huawei. Please restore it or let me know what's the matter. Thanks. Armando82 12:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikiproject Brazil question
Hi Adam. I have a question about what articles fall under the Wikiproject Brazil banner. My question is specifically regarding Gilberto Silva, but also there are other Brazilian footballer articles which I will be editing shortly, and I just wanted your opinion. Pelé and Ronaldo are both within the project's scope, but they are Brazilian icons. Does merely being Brazilian make a footballer part of Wikiproject Brazil? Thanks for your time. GilbertoSilvaFan 20:59, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, any Brazilian soccer player that is on Wikipedia can be classified in this project. The project propagates awareness of Brazilian-related articles. Thanks for your attention.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 23:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Sarai page on Wikipedia
Hi, I am from Sarai, and it has just come to our attention that you have deleted the Sarai entry on Wikipedia. Here is the relevant deletion log: 23:33, 20 August 2006 Kungfuadam (Talk | contribs) deleted "Sarai (new media initiative)" (closing prod uncontested since 15 Aug)
May we ask why this step was taken, as Sarai is definitely still an active organisation, and has strong ties to the open-source, and open documentation world.

Hi, that surely is old :). You deleted in november this article under CSD G4, but I can't find any other deletion in the deletion log, or the deletion discussion. Could you by any chance dig them? I spent a lot of time improving this article and I am quite disappointed it was deleted without my knowledge (even if I would probably have voted delete). I wanted to have a look at the rationale behind this deletion. -- lucasbfr talk 17:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

- I opted not to do the merge, so I restored it and let someone else take care of it. I feel that the article should direct to the dab page rather than this superhero. I am not sure, so it was best just to leave it alone.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 19:36, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with your decision to delete the article on "Gabriel and Dresden", and the label of it as "Commercial". Their music has been picked up by Sirius Radio, and therefore, they meet the criteria as Entertainers with a significant fan base.
Aside from the rules, I believe every band with more than one song and two fans should be represented on Wikipedia, if someone has taken the time to fairly and accurately write an article about them. ==== I am Roberto Malancini.

{{prod}}
I see you closed a prod on Rustam Akhmyarov (Chechen leader) back in June 2006.
{{prod}} was relatively new then I think, and nominators didn't always fulfill their obligation to tell the article's creator that they had prodded the article. This nominator, whoever it was, didn't tell me. I only came across this deletion because I was doing some housekeeping.
When you closed the {{prod}} you didn't record the reason it was nominated for deletion. It was probably due to a failure on my part to insert a phrase where I explicitly asserted notability.
I create stubs sometimes, when I am researching an article on one guy, and I come across a reference to a namesake, someone with the same name or a very similar name. So. I can see from my records that,while expanding the article on another Rustam Akhmyarov. Doing so prevents confusion later, when someone might conflate the two individuals.
I always provide at least one reference when I create these stubs.
For my records I would like to verify the reason the article was deleted. How difficult would it be for you to consult your records, and let me know?
Cheers! -- Geo Swan 22:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- The reason for prod nomination was- the only source article references an "Akhmadov", not an "Akhmyarov", and he's not referred to as a leader of the rebels. There's no basis for this substub. I think there's some confusion going on with the Gitmo detainee b/c of the similarity of the names.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 13:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
===== Small changes in "Brazil" article:
I do not have the right to change the article "Brazil". Could you please replace the paragraph about the space agency by the following paragraphs (section of Science and Technology):
After a succesful enterpreneurship in the manufacturing of small and medium airplanes, Brazil is looking for developing space technology. This effort is being coordinated by the Brazilian Space Agency (Agencia Espacial Brasileira). We have already fabricated satellites and an astronaut has recently visited the international space station (traveling in a Russian spacecraft). However, we still need to make a working space launcher, our initial tests were unsuccesful (due to lack of funds and a certain embargo of parts from developed countries who consider this technology to be sensitive). Brazilian satellites are helping, for example, to monitor the Amazon region.
Brazilian agricultural throughput is being improved by the application of bio-technology. Recently, a project called Xylella fastidiosa Genome Project [Nature's paper] has decoded the genetic code of a plague that affects orange trees. We have also developed a medicine to control hypertension based upon rattlesnake's poison. Our flora and fauna provides a unique environment to discover new medicines.RobertomalanciniRoberto

"AVL CRUISE" Wiki Page
Dear Adam,
According to the log in wikipedia, you deleted the description of our vehicle simulation software tool - AVL CRUISE. The reason given is a cryptic "WP:SOFTWARE" which we do not understand, and we can't see the original page to see what was wrong with it. We'd like to reinstate the entry for CRUISE, and also take the opportunity to improve it. There are many engineers out there who would like to know what the program does, to see whether it is of any use to their specific application.
Best Regards
Andrew Martin
