Underdog (band)

hi i see you deleted [[Underdog (band)] can you please "userfy" it so i can make it notable? thanks. Aisha9152 (talk) 15:57, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

The article was a copy-paste from the band's Myspace. I'd recommend you just start over if you want to write a decent article about them. Thanks, GlassCobra 16:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

LSE IDEAS

I'm attempting to create the page for LSE IDEAS that you deleted for blatant advertising. I wasn't finished with the page before you deleted it. Their publications are mentioned in the Times and elsewhere. What needs to be done to allow posting?

Khoback (talk) 17:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I would suggest that you create the article in userspace, and once you believe you are finished creating it, let an admin know. Try writing it at User:Khoback/LSE IDEAS for now, then it can be moved live once you are finished... - Adolphus79 (talk) 19:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey... Wanted to know why my page was deleted. I have posted it twice and it has been deleted twice. Please offer any advice to avoid this from happening again.

Did you remove the playing style mod about him running around his backhand to hit his forehand? If so, why? It's obvious from watching 5 minutes of any of his matches. His backhand is his best shot?

The Dirty Works

Curious why this page was deleted. I removed all reference to any previously published articles.

It simply said "The Dirty Works are a 3-piece punk band out of Tennessee." Obviously I intend to expand upon this page.

I will be resubmitting.

erik Erikrotten (talk) 22:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Even with the copyright violation material removed, the page failed to explain how the band was in compliance with Wikipedia's notability guidelines; there were no reliable sources included to verify any information. GlassCobra 22:28, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

could I have the opportunity to expand on this article and ADD reliable sources? for example: Red Carpet Premiere for Dirty works Documentary "Rebel Scum" http://www.metropulse.com/news/2010/jan/20/red-carpet-premiere-dirty-works-documentary-rebel-/

Post-'Scum' Dirty Works has cleaned up its act http://www.knoxville.com/news/2010/feb/04/post-scum-dirty-works-has-cleaned-up-its-act/?partner=RSS

I am following up on a page that indicates that you proposed for deletion. It is the Online School for Girls, which is a non-profit school formed this summer by a consortium of four independent all-girls' school. It is the first online school dedicated to the secondary education of girls. We believe the information was accurate and striped of any marketing language. We are requesting that it be reinstated.

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. I've reviewed your article, and agree that it was not a hoax. I apologize for the inconvenience. I was a little confused by the wording of the article, namely that the subject was born in 1870, but had a quote in some sort of periodical saying that she was thirteen; however, I didn't realize that it could be a periodical of that time period.
However, before restoring the article, I'd like to address a few concerns. First, your username indicates a connection to the subject, so I'd like to suggest that you review our conflict of interest guidelines; we discourage people from writing about subjects with which they are connected, whether it be an employer, a family member, etc. Next, as per our verification policy, we require sources that our articles use to be publicly viewable, so that they might be verified by our readers, peer reviewers, or anyone else. Is there any way you can obtain copies of the book you mention above, or the periodical mentioned in the article?
If you believe you can alleviate the concerns I've outlined, please let me know and I will restore the article as a userspace draft for you. Thanks, GlassCobra 14:37, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

deletion of page titled Professional Monitor Company

I see that you have deleted my page created, describing the company PMC. I saw from the notes from another admin that my entry was considered spam or merely advertising the company.

From a brief look around wikipedia I see there are entries for other speaker manufacturers such as Tannoy, Bowers and Wilkins and QUAD Elctroacoustics. I fail to see why these entries are deemed acceptable and mine is not. These other manufacturers are notable, usually due to a particular design philosophy of their products. I feel that the speakers made by PMC are also notable for their use and development of the transmission line design of speaker enclosure. I do not feel that my entry was in any way advertising PMC or promoting their designs over and above others, but was instead giving unbiased information on the subject.

As I mentioned I have no links with the company and have nothing to gain by creating a wikipedia entry. Manufacturers such as Tannoy, B&W and QUAD are notable for various reasons and I feel PMC are too.

Please can you advise why you do not feel my entry was suitable.

Thanks.

Pepsi

Hi GlassCobra, I am new to Wikipedia and am editing the Pepsi page for a college class. Could you please explain why you deleted my 3-sentence contribution to the "Marketing" section of the Pepsi page? The Pepsi Refresh Project is a brand new (just launched last month) already-popular multi-million dollar grant program that is definitely significant enough to be added to Wikipedia. I also added the Pepsi Refresh Project page...you deleted that because it was "unambiguous advertising". I rewrote my page and posted it again, but now you deleted it for "No Indication of Importance".

How can I reword these edits so that this can be published on Wikipedia?

Deleting Melissa Dawn Johnson Page

Good Morning,

I am Melissa Dawn Johnson's assistant and I see that you recently deleted the page I created for her on wikipedia citing "unambiguous copyright infringement" of the Melissa Dawn Johnson that is speaking at the Winner's Summit. However, that is the Melissa Dawn Johnson that is referenced in the wikipedia page.

I wish you would've contacted someone first before deleting it, it took a while for me to gather that content.

If there is another reason you are deleting the page please let me know so that I may correct it so I don't have to go through this again. My email is victoria.dunn@velvetsuitemarketing.com and the office line is 404.806.8214.

Please contact me if there is an issue I'm missing.

Thank you,

Granny Gear

The subject "granny gear" is well known among manual transmission operators. Yet a search on Wikipedia does not return any documents which relate the term granny gear to a transmission, but only to bicycle gearing. Why was the "Granny Gear" page deleted? Why not kept and linked to the full transmission article?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny_gear

68.53.189.60 (talk) 09:18, 23 February 2010 (UTC)Rick

Granny gear created as a redirect to Transmission (mechanics). Thanks, GlassCobra 16:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Appreciated, GlassCobra. The concept still doesn't define what a granny gear is. Can the redirect page include a simple text definition like: "An extremely low gear ratio sometimes available in transmissions. In vehicles, it is used for maximum power, for climbing steep hills, for moving slowly over bad terrain, or for driving slowly" or something similar (as derived from Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=granny%20gear))? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.42.224.2 (talk) 10:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I just found another one, from WikiAnswers: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_granny_gear. It reads: "granny gear is 1st gear. the lowest gear in transmission. it has the most power of all gears but is the slowest.in big trucks it is called granny gear ,because the the gear ratios are so low that the vehicle crawls along slowly like a granny.this gear is not used often on a road truck unless a start on an extremely steep hill with heavy load is required." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.42.224.2 (talk) 10:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Please see WP:NOTDICTIONARY; Wikipedia is not a dictionary of terms. The redirect is for ease of navigation. If you believe that the term may merit some mention in the Transmission (mechanics), I'd suggest you bring it up at Talk:Transmission (mechanics); however, I'm not sure how much support you'll find.

Can I create a template?

The template, called InOtherLanguages, would ease navigation between Wikipedia projects by taking the page's title and linking it with the same page in another language. For instance, the wheel page would have links to fr:wheel, de:wheel, and so on. It'd be displayed at the top of the page in a little green box. --Zero TalkContribs 22:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki links are already included on the side of every page. A template like you're suggesting would probably just clutter up articles, to be honest. I don't really see what use it would be. GlassCobra 04:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Well, that is true. And I wouldn't want to create a redundant template. It seems like that's all I did in my early days here. Thanks for the time. --Zero TalkContribs 15:44, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Notability

Going back quite a bit regarding this edit [1] and this explanation from yourself [2], it seems that the article has been like this for over two years and your clean up edit was reverted. The article is a total violation of notability, i don't think anyone has made the slightest effort to improve it as i don't think they're notable at all. Now i'm a big Suede fan and i know that there are numerous articles online for The Tears, McAlmont and Butler and Elastica, who are clearly connected with Suede. I think they qualify for speedy deletion, now i wouldn't want to do it myself, i just thought it would be better to pass it by yourself, being an admin, and having previously looked at the article.Ian Bundy (talk) 16:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you letting me know about the reversion of my edit on the Futon article, I've taken the liberty of cleaning that one up once again.
As for the Suede-related articles, I don't think they qualify for speedy deletion; each one makes a pretty clear claim of notability and is of course related to a majorly notable band. If you really believe they do not meet our standards, you may nominate them at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion; however, your argument would have to be pretty persuasive, as I believe they would likely pass easily.

You need to add my block to the Adam Kontras eletion discussion...

Please be responsible and explain to the editors who are SPECIFICALLY ASKING ME QUESTIONS why you blocked me. THis is childish to say the least.

If this has anything to do with me DELETING Chalres Groves slander - with the explanation "old vandalism" - you need to do a little more research before randomly deleting. I'm in the midst of a cyber stalking case with detectives in Virginia, Case # GC10000402-00 Charge: 'Stalking: Fear of Death or Assault' Orignial Court order 2-23-10 'No contact with victim'. He has actually admitted he is vandalizing and stalking (again, had you taken the time to do your research) and even did the most recent vandalism as himself. It has been a daily issue to undo his lies. He is publically linking to court records that don't exist but saying they implicate me in some crime. I erase those and you block me? Great site fellas. Keep up the good work. Adam4tvs 98.151.17.229 (talk) 18:29, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

  • note If there were any such litigation pending I would be sure I would be informed, Mr Kontras is either confused or simply attempting to sway the argument by any means necessary. The case number in question has nothing to do with Mr Kontras. Anouther rediculous allegation! Charles Franklin Groves III, Richmond Virginia.... My internet is down right now... 24.125.149.247 (talk) 00:24, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Kindly take this argument somewhere else. I have no interest in getting involved; I am merely upholding Wikipedia's rules on usernames. GlassCobra 01:53, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm not comfortable with the way this categorical, irreversible, indefinite ban was conducted. Adam4tvs is the username that Adam Kontras has used for just about everything he has done on the Internet since 2000. The fact that it is related to what he may wish to "self-promote" is not a coincidence, but it is also not in any way related to his alleged self-promotion. He first registered on Wikipedia to defend himself against the allegations raised by admitted vandal and sockpuppet Charles Groves. Most of his contributions have been directly related to the ongoing discussion related to the AfD of the article about him, Adam Kontras, and concerns raised in that discussion. The only potential direct "self-promotion" that I can see is the edit he made to Crooked X, which was a band that he interviewed for the CBS's The Early Show while he was employed by CBS. I do not think it is OK to drive-by ban somebody without so much as a warning or an investigation into what they have done. GlassCobra, I ask that you please reverse your decision and have a civil conversation about Adam4tvs's potential misconduct over at User talk:Adam4tvs. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 03:01, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Except Adam's screen name is not a company, group, or product, and he has been clear about his conflict of interest with the Adam Kontras web page, so his Wikipedia name doesn't violate the rules. I agree that this decision should be reversed. —Brad Cook→✉ —Preceding undated comment added 17:57, 14 April 2010 (UTC).

Kate's Birthday Party

Why did you delete Kate's birthday party? it was a good page notifying of an internet sensation that erupted these past few days. Seriously...

Yeah I'm wondering about the same thing. You don't find it funny?

Same here also. Come on, live a little! All sorts of memes have articles on WP, how is this one an exception?

I know, hey. How come you deleted it? It's a Facebook phenomenon that was actually successful. -LC +1

The event is actually worthy of a Wikipedia page. This is a huge mistake. Why delete articles like this? This is a very significant event in terms of web privacy/security.

This is not a significant event of any kind. Wikipedia is not a directory of every unfunny flash-in-the-pan internet meme that ever happened. Take it to Encyclopedia Dramatica. GlassCobra 15:18, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to agree with every other person on this talk, this is a notable internet meme, that has made quite a bit of news recently concerning facebook privacy/security issues. If you take a quick look through google news, this has gone about creating a fair bit of news. --Kibadunno (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Recreating a template which was deleted.

Requesting that Template:Information needed be re-uploaded per the discussion never reaching a consensus because the opposing party never responded.

I know WP:TIND but I would like some feedback as soon as possible. Spitfire19 (Talk) 21:15, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

If you need to look back at the template it can be found as my most recent edit to Template:X7 Spitfire19 (Talk) 15:00, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Your direct conversation with Carnildo may not have specifically ended, but Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2008 November 8#Template:Information needed seems to be a pretty clear consensus. The template does indeed appear to be redundant to those that we already commonly use. GlassCobra 03:43, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Harry Potter: Evanna Lynch

WikiProject Harry Potter has been rather inactive recently. I've been working on the Evanna Lynch article lately, and have based it off the featured article Emma Watson. I thought I'd ask if you would like to collaborate on the article, as part of a possible WikiProject revival. Leave your response at the article's talk page. Thanks!
