Deletion of CLASS page
Hi Coren,
I just created a page with information on CLASS. It just got deleted. I am new to wikipedia and tried to read through all the policies. So based on that, just to be sure, I followed a structure in the article on Taproot Foundation to create this page. If you see, both articles were not that different. Can you give me some advise on how I can modify the CLASS page to keep it on wikipedia?
Thanks, User:Goldenmask321
Fellowship of Friends
Hi Coren, could you please comment on the discussion that is happening about Mario's recent edits on the Fellowship of Friends page? It seems that Mario and I are reading the same text, but somehow find a different meaning in it. Thanks Wine-in-ark 22:05, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Shalom Coren: The FOF discussion page is heating up again and the edit truce is not entirely being respected. We have a new and active editor. Looking at your discussion page, it's easy to see why it must be hard for you to spend time on this controversial article - you're spread so thin - do you really have a day job? We miss you, please visit us soon.--Moon Rising 08:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Coren, it has been an interesting process editing the FOF page, and I'm impressed with your skills and knowledge in mediating. My main goal in getting involved was to add some information into the article from a book that I recently discovered online (one that I felt would help to balance a very imbalanced article), to pitch in as much as I could with the editing, and most importantly to express my views to someone in the wikipedia community, and I've accomplished each of those things for now. Meanwhile, what do you think? Do you think the article will eventually reach some level of consensus and stability (without the further need for a mediator?), and that we'll have a fair and balanced description of the Fellowship that will stand the test of time without any further editing wars? Many of us will be watching. It's an interesting experiment, and in an odd/twisted sort of way, a lot of fun. Best regards, Artnscience 02:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about deleating the quick delete tag. I didn't realize that you were supposed to keep it in there and then put the hang on tag in there. When I went to put it back in I realized I forgot the tag. Keep up the quick work.
Hierarchical Linear Models - why deleted?
Hi, could you please explain why you tagged Hierarchical linear models for speedy deletion? It'd also me nice to know why you don't give a reason for every article you so designate. Would it slow you down that much? RedHouse18 22:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, both the speedy tag and the deletion log would have told you what the reason was: this article was written as an advertisement and made no claim of notability. It's important, when writing an article, to stay away from both wording and contents that simply promotes the products or services of a company; or that expounds on a service or concept exclusive to that company, unless they are notable and properly sourced.
Incidentally, I did not delete the article. I tagged it for deletion, and an admin then reviewed it and deleted it. So at least two persons agreed that the tag was warranted. You might want to take a moment to read the guidelines above, and the manual of style. Those will help you write articles that will stand the test of time. :-) Coren 23:04, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. As you know, I'm a relatively inexperienced wikipedia editor. I'm confident that the deletion of my article on hierarchical linear models was a mistake though. They are unarguably notable. One of my mistakes though, was not realizing that there was already an article Hierarchical linear modeling. I should have just made it redirect. I'd like to have my article undeleted though, so I can copy some of the content into the pre-existing article. Is that possible? RedHouse18 15:18, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Coren
I am new to Misplaced Pages and now I know that I committed some mistakes like removing the speedily deletion tag at first, but then I appropriately put the HANG ON tag. The article I am writing about Chilorio's contains pertinent information about a Mexican restaurant chain located in Miami (not inappropriate content). After I put the hang on tag I explained the article in my talk page and after a few minutes my article was deleted. The main article I was creating was the complete name of the company Chilorio's Very Mexican but a lot of people know this restaurant chain by Chilorio's or Chilorios, and the search engine doesn't differentiate among them, that is why I created the other articles(Chilorios and Chilorio's) with the same information as Chilorio's Very Mexican so people could search for this company any way they called it, please let me know if this is a VIOLATION and how should I make the article so that the search engine finds it weather you input the whole name or just part of it. Please reconsider adding the article again as I did a lot of research of this company and it looks really professional like other restaurant articles.
Thanks, --Mexican001 13:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Me again:-)
Re: Hollar, I declined to delete it as nonsense. It is general consensus that G1 only applies to patent nonsense; articles that are nonsense on their face. Plausible articles which turn out to be hoaxes are actually nonsense, but that can only be verified through research. For that reason we require debate (unless of course it is deleted via proposed deletion).--Fuhghettaboutit 22:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the Welcome
Coren, thanks for all of the welcome links and info on my user page... very useful. Artnscience 16:45, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you please make a comment after my second paragraph that I just wrote on the talk page, and give your opinion on this, as I don't know how to explain this anymore. Aeuio 23:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Really need your opinion here. Aeuio 00:25, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Dear Coren, There has been a request to replace you as a mediator because an editor feels that you cannot devote sufficient time to the process. Other editors are saying "absolutely not", and that it would take another mediator a long time to get up to speed and would probably not spend more time on the article than you do. I don't think anyone has even hinted that you are not a good mediator, just that the process is going too slowly. I think I speak for all of us that we'd like to get to a point where we have a good WP article that is balanced and will not require frequent edits and monitoring. I think you should be the one to decide if you continue or not. You're doing a fine job and I appreciate your efforts to bring consensus. If you have time to look at the page, some editors are on the brink of making personal attacks on each other, and someone needs to douse the flames. A final thought - you recently corrected one of my edits to change "it's" to "its". I can't believe I did that. I hate when I see this mistake made, by me or anyone else. Thank you.--Moon Rising 18:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Neighbourhood character
Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to put this (still haven't quite the hang of this yet), but I request the categories you added about wikification etc etc be removed from this article, unless you're not happy with the references that have been added, if so, please explain. Thanks.Eyedubya 02:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Will you be continuing as mediator over at Fellowship of Friends? The natives are getting restless. ;o) I see you haven't logged on too much recently, so if time is a bit short, I understand. If it's just that you need someone to keep things on a productive track during busy points, I can assist if you're interested. I hope this finds you well. Vassyana 02:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
