== Speedy Deletion of Blake Paulson article ==

https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Blake_Paulson&action=edit&redlink=1

Anthony, I'm an editor with a keen interest in banking history. I'm curious why the Blake Paulson article was deleted. I see that copyright infringements were cited -- but the content came from a U.S. government website (Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.) Isn't there a fair use exemption? I cannot see the article (maybe I just don't know how to find it) but I suspect it could be improved and salvaged if there are not ENOUGH third-party sources.

This is confusing me. The creating editor battled long and hard to create this, via AFC, but has now requested deletion. This feels little like ]. I wonder if you would take more than usual time to look at the background to this one, please?

Sen seems to be notable at last (you may disagree, I did for ages), so it will only reappear in one form or another (0.95 probability). It is a fan created article

A further look may reinforce your deletion or may overturn it.I am not seeking to influence that, rather I'd like to understand a little more, please. ]&nbsp;] 11:59, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

==Batch deletion ==
Hello, Anthony,

Batch deletion can be handy and I use it when I need to delete a number of pages that are being deleted for the same reason. Unfortunately, Twinkle puts the same generic CSD reason as the deletion rationale for all of the pages. This is a problem when deletions are the result of a deletion discussion because Twinkle doesn't include a link to the specific AFD or TFD discussion where it was decided to delete the page. In these cases, I think you need to take the time to delete the pages individually. Just offering an opinion as an admin who has made this mistake before!

== Re: speedy deletion of "implausible" redirect, "James Harrison (blood donor" ==

What constitutes an "implausible" typo? Because that redirect was created because of a typo that factually occurred. It was, specifically, the result of a ''very common'' type of typo that occurs when linking wikipedia pages with parentheticals, due to how ] (the formatting language used on prominant sites such as reddit and github) formats links. I create such a redirect whenever I see such a broken link in the wild, and generally get thanks for such an action (one is currently on my talk page).

Frankly, I think Misplaced Pages should automatically redirect any nonexistent page titles with unclosed parenthenses, but until then, the reasonable solution is to add them manually, is it not?

Anyway, I wrote that article using my own words and cited my sources for any facts, so please restore it and we can work through any other problems with it.

Hello, Anthony,

I saw you were active and I'm hoping you can render a verdict on this article. I PROD'd it last week and so I can't act on it. It looks like the PROD tag was removed by a sockpuppet of the page creator who was very active on articles about Azerbaijan personalities. So, either that tag removal has to be decided to be invalid because it was from a blocked sockpuppet and the article deleted or the PROD tag needs to be removed. Thanks for any help you can offer.

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on ] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can ]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can ] to ].

We have ] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can ]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

I'm the person who created the page. I often come to Misplaced Pages for information about publications I don't know. There was no page for Evie so I created a simple one. I have no relationship to the magazine.

I've done some reasearch. How about the following:

Evie magazine is an online and printed magazine aimed at young women in the United States.

It says its mission is to "empower, educate, and entertain you with the highest quality content that affirms your femininity, encourages virtue, and offers a more truthful perspective than the biased agenda of other publications".<ref>https://www.eviemagazine.com/about</ref>

According to the AllSides democratic media monitoring service, it has a 'Lean Right' bias. As of May 2021, its review found Evie "largely publishes opinion-style pieces that are focused on encouraging traditional values and historic virtues in culture, relationships and lifestyle". AllSides says the magazine typically stands against progressive feminism and is critical of hook-up culture, socialism/communism, the birth control pill and the pharmaceuticals of Western medicine.<ref>https://www.allsides.com/news-source/evie-magazine-media-bias</ref>

== Speedy deletion of Jorrit Faassen ==

Hello, you recently deleted the article ] saying it "does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject". The article mentioned in the lead that he is ]'s son-in-law, married to Putin's eldest daughter ]. That clearly indicated his significance. Some might not think that is enough to merit his own Misplaced Pages article, however that would have been a debate for a deletion discussion, but since it was speedily deleted there was none. Also, per ], the information could have been merged into another article – Maria's, where much of the information was before I created Fassen's article. I have been able to restore some information there based on the revision history of Maria's article, but some valuable information is missing (e.g. his D.O.B.) as it was added to his article later and with the page gone I have no way of retrieving that information and source. WP:CSD also says the user nominating a page for deletion should notify the page creator and any major contributors –&nbsp;I am the page creator and I was not notified and thus had no way to contest the deletion as I only learned about it from my watchlist after the fact. ] (]) 01:09, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

:You point out, correctly, that the page nominator is requested to notify the page creator of the nomination. please note that i was the page deleter, not the page nominator, and i suggest that you pursue this problem in the correct direction.

:I removed your userpage (some months ago) because it was wholly inappropriate for a userpage, both in content and in style. A userpage is intended to give information about the user to whom it applies. Information contents should consist of data relating to the user's activities, expectations and intentions within wikipedia; it is acceptable to give brief extraneous personal details, but should not contain any information not relating at least in some way to wikipedia. Clearly your deleted userpage does not qualify. If you tell me the title of the article which has been deleted I will assess it. ----]<sup>]</sup> 22:16, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

NEW MESSAGES GO TO THE BOTTOM. NOT THE TOP.


Please add new messages to the bottom of the page. If a conversation is started here, I'll respond here; if it starts on your talk page, I'll respond there.


Why did you remove my external links?

If you've come here because you want to know why I removed some external links you've added, please read Misplaced Pages's policies on spam, Misplaced Pages external link guidelines and conflict-of-interest first. Because of Misplaced Pages's popularity, it has become a target for folks looking to promote their sites, which is against Misplaced Pages policies. If you read WP:SPAM and still feel that your link(s) does not violate those policies, let me know.

One common argument I hear is But so-and-so link is on that article, and it's commercial! WP:EL doesn't explicitly forbid In links to commercial sites; it depends on the notability of the link, its content, and if it's a reference or a notable pro/con argument on a controversial subject, etc. On the other hand, I think that many Wikipedians would agree that there are way too many commercial links at present time, so feel free to "prune away" if the link doesn't meet guidelines in WP:EL. Incidentally, if you've come here to complain that I've deleted links to your blog (especially a blog with advertising), don't bother. You'll have to find free advertising somewhere else. A good Google search will reveal plenty of places for that sort of thing.

Vandalism and insults left here will be recycled in the bit bucket. Remember: be nice!




Beware! This user's talk page is patrolled by talk page stalkers.

Sad news

Anthony Bradbury passed away peacefully on 1st January 2024. Requiescat in pace. Davidelit (Talk) 09:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

This is...upsetting to read, to say the least. Anthony Bradbury was my RfA nominator almost 17 years ago. He and I messaged over the years and I have him on Facebook. I'm saddened to hear that we've lost such a kind and honorable man from the world and Misplaced Pages. I know I will miss him.

Sad news, Tony is a name I remember well from when I was learning the ropes here all those years ago. A valuable contributor lost. RIP. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 14:32, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Tony passed his RfA just days after me, and together with editors like you, Acalamari, was a huge part in the progression of Misplaced Pages in the relatively early days. His name was one of those that you would see doing so much to help and mentor new editors, solve disputes and above all, create some very important content. His death, which will create an enormous void for his family and friends, also creates an enormous empty space here on Misplaced Pages. Dr Nick Birse (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
