Studley Darts

Hi 57. You deleted the Studley Darts page, why? I don't beleive you have any affinity to the game of darts? Studley Darts League is one of the oldest darts leagues in the country. It has spawned a current world class player and thousands have played for it over the past 45 years. Please reinstate the page. Thank you.

Page delete

Hi 57, I hope I'm doing this right, but I'm the editor of the page on Linda Levi the Los Angeles artist. You deleted it because you didn't "see her significance." Apparently, I have to recreate it and show more information on her. She is important in Los Angeles, now a major world art center, and the United States, for many reasons. One, she was one of the founders of the women's art movement in Los Angeles. And two, she was a founding director of Womenspace, in 1971, the first non-profit institution to recognize and exhibit women artists in the United States. So, I'll try again. How do you respond to this? Will you undelete the article and I'll add more information?

Thanks, barbaraleif

Hi 57, again-I believe you said you would paste the original on my talk page; I don't see it there and it would help me to use the basic info to write again. Thanks, barbaraleif —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbaraleif (talk • contribs) 10:08, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello 57. You deleted The Vision Depot, my corporation, citing "blatant advertising". Yet I'm doing nothing different than any of my competitors or partners! In fact, while there were 2 sentences talking about my company (none were "advertisements", 90% of my copy was informative information on machine vision, and its importance in today's society. You marked it for speedy deletion, and I think this is unfair. Please let me know how I can get my page back up, because I'm not sure you thoroughly checked out the content-rich information. Thank you.

Hope 4 U Worship

Hello 57, It's me again, I am not the pastor, but I am the pastors son who designed the website. I have added on the page that reuse is allowed. Also I will remove the service times. Please let me know what other changes are needed to make the article existent.

Thanks

Hope 4 U Worship

Hello 57, I am the creator of the website www.hope4uworship.org and my page on wiki was deleted for copyright infringement. Please repost the information I submitted to wiki, if I need to add on my website that copying is allowed I will do so.

Thanks

Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship, which passed with 50 supports, 1 neutral, and 1 oppose. My goal is to keep earning your trust every time I grab the "mop". (And I'm always open to constructive criticism and advice!) Again, thanks. --Fabrictramp 15:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Wang Hao(Table Tennis)

I noticed that you recently deleted the redirect at Wang Hao(Table Tennis). I don't think this is an implausible typo or misnomer for Wang Hao (table tennis). There is was an article that points to this spelling, and ten other pages that also did link to Wang Hao(Table Tennis), which I think shows that it is a likely candidate for a misspelling. Please clarify. Thanks, Lisatwo 13:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining things. Cheers, Lisatwo 14:17, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

For correcting my spelling in the Birya affair article. I know my spelling and syntax are less than perfect, so usually I contribute by adding a picture to an existing article. However, I wanted to write this one for many reasons, and it's good to see that someone bothered with correcting my mistakes. Pelegisrael 14:10, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Sailboat dimensions

Why did you delete my article? It was a work in progress started this morning. When I got back to it this afternoon, you'd deleted it.

Sailboat dimensions are important in the technical areas of PHRF racing, box rules, etc. I looked for a definition of J dimension and seeing that it wasn't there, started a page. Eventually, this was going to be referred to from various sailboat class pages, for example the Olson 30 page. Please undelete. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CSears (talk • contribs) 00:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

If you insist on changing it, can you please set it so that the second template on all the election pages (politics of australia) also shows in full by default as well. Thankyou. Timeshift 11:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Template

Hi. I attempted to create a new template, for Knesset speakers. It is my first attempt of template creation, and it is based on the Israeli Presidents one. Will you please have a look in my Sandbox, and see if any adjustments are needed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Derwig (talk • contribs) 18:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks -- Derwig 19:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • I found the images on Hebrew Misplaced Pages. Some of the images there were uploaded to commons, see the one on Moshe Kol's page. When you click the image, the description of the image comes up, with a link to the original page on "ויקישיתוף". The template used for Kol's image on commons would probably apply to many other MK's (requiring 50 years from creation), and can be used for free-use rationale when uploading images from the Knesset website. -- Derwig 14:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Page delete again

I just wrote you a note, but I don't know if I put it in the right place. You said you would paste the original Linda Levi article into my talk page but I don't see it, and I'd like to use it as a reference.

Page delete again, again

Thanks, I got the paste up. But, I don't have time, now, to do all the work. So, someone I know who is an art dealer is going to write the article, and use the original.

SuperbHosting.net

Hi there, I was creating a page for SuperbHosting.net, and it was deleted as 'blatant advertising.' The page had little to do about advertising; it gave a history of the creation of the site and described the types of hosting services provided. The page was not close to complete, however, to avoid losing the content - when I was previewing, there was a clear warning that the page had not been saved, so I quickly saved.

To ensure the article being created was neutral, I had pulled pages for several comparable hosting sites and was following their formats: Hostway DreamHost Aplus.net Rackspace

Had I known the page would be reviewed and deleted upon hitting 'Save,' I would have copied and pasted the content to a text document and simply saved it there. As one of the oldest hosting companies - over 11 years in the Industry - it is relevant for the company to have an article; the company pre-dates the adoption of the Internet by popular culture/the average person by almost 5 years and survived the dot-com bust - no easy feat.

Can this article be restored and so it can be completed for a second review? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superbhosting (talk • contribs) 19:56, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for the quick respsonse. As mentioned, the article was not completed and references were to be added as the final piece of the puzzle. As well, if you review the references on the companies previously mentioned, a majority of them are not third-party, rather, they exist on the website of the company being represented.

I don't really consider the statement: SuperbHosting.net offers a full range of hosting solutions, to be advertising propaganda; it's a statement of fact. The statement was followed by links within wikipedia that provide unbiased information - not advertising - and was intended to be a very small part of the article. It's simply what the company does, and I never said we were the best at it or anything along those lines.

I understand the potential for a conflict of interest, but many large corporations manage and monitor their listings on Misplaced Pages; as an Internet company, it is more relevant to the company, and I chose the username on purpose. Rather than face scrutiny/controversy in the future, I was up-front about the affiliation.

Again, is it possible to have the article restored and reviewed upon completion rather than in its infancy, as it was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superbhosting (talk • contribs) 20:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's for you to decide whether or not I'm the right person to write or contribute to ANY article, and your unwillingness to accomodate a request to allow me to complete an article before having it reviewed and deleted seems a little harsh. Especially when it was simply inexperience in the arena that allowed you to read the article in the first place. You're acting like some sort of wiki-nazi - no posting, 2 weeks!

I see in other comments that you've acted the same way with others; you may consider a less heavy-handed approach to your volunteer work and simply request people make adjustments to articles based on complaints X, Y, and Z rather than simply deleting articles on a whim. Those of us less-versed in using wiki's spend a lot of time making our contributions and shouldn't be automatically penalized based on your subjective opinion of content produced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Superbhosting (talk • contribs) 20:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Moved from user page

hey i don't know how to write you but i have been trying to update Prashant Chopra because this is what the google results show:

I want to remove this as it is a cached personal attack. How can this be done?

Articles removed...

Hi,

I see that you removed some articles that I published yesterday.

I have no clue if I'm doing this right. This Wiki stuff is very complicated and I have been directed to use about 200 different things in the last 8 hours including the "Help Desk", my "Talk Page", your "Talk Page", things called "templates" and other stuff and I'm now going cross-eyed.

I have 3 pages that I have created that have been deleted:

   * Runtime Design Automation
   * Flowtracer
   * RTDA Network Computer

The first is a company that produces software that my company uses. The second and third are pieces of software that they produce that we use. I looked at one of their competitor's pages for an example so they would not come off as SPAM:

   * Platform Computing
   * Load Sharing Facility

The first is the company. The second is one of their products. Why can these pages be on there but the ones that I am trying to create are deleted? Is it because I don't have 3rd-party external links or something? If so, well, Load Sharing Facility doesn't either. They only link that is on that page is back to the vendor that produces it.

I have to say that my attempt at adding some content in Misplaced Pages has been extremely frustrating. I've spent about 8 hours trying to learn the syntax and different portions of this app and after doing that, everything was canned.

Janbur (just so you know, I didn't write the below comment, I don't know who did that)

My apologies

Hi there, I want to apologize if my comment regarding 'wiki-nazi' was taken as uncivil rather than humorous. It's a reference to the soup nazi, and was meant as nothing more than a reference to a pop-culture term. Superbhosting 21:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

RosAsm's wikipedia page deletion on purpose.

You are WRONG to delete the page.

It's not :

Recreation of deleted material. A copy, by any title, of a page deleted via a deletion discussion, provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes to it do not address the reasons for which it was deleted. This does not apply to content that has been moved to user space, undeleted via deletion review, or deleted via "proposed deletion", or to speedy deletions (although in that case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply).

Because i just wrote it with my hands a few hours ago.

Erase the talk page, erase the page. Where's the talk in that? RosAsm is a 10 year old assembler!!! www.rosasm.org

I want a full explanation for deleting the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.174.241 (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of PassMark Software Pty Ltd

Hello Number 57,

I note that you deleted the above page citing 'blatant advertising'.

I added the page because it appears that wikipedia approves the existence of several of its competitors (i.e. Everest Software, SiSoftware Sandra, FutureMark & Bapco, Bytemark).

I added it because its product PerformanceTest is listed amongst the benchmarking applications shown in 'Benchmark (computing)'. I thought I was doing a good job of letting people know a little about the company that produces the software. I didn't list everything they make (unlike some of its competitors) and I didn't add any hyperbole or endorsements regarding the quality of the software or the company.

I humbly request that you review your decision regarding the deletion of this page. Alternatively, can you please tell me what I need to do to make it more appropriate.

Yours sincerely,

The Bench —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Bench (talk • contribs) 06:27, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Yasser Arafat peer review

Greetings Number 57, I have dropped in to ask of you to review the Yasser Arafat article. Scartol and I have been working on the article endlessly to expand, verify and reference, copyedit and to keep an NPOV. We thought it would be a good idea to get members of Wiki:Project Israel with a history of hard work and NPOV editing to overview it to make sure the article is fair. Any points that you want to bring up can be discussed here: Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/Yasser Arafat --Al Ameer son 21:00, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey no problem, whenever you have time you can look over controversial text in the article so we it could be as neutral as possible. Thank you so much. --Al Ameer son 03:35, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Two questions

Hello there. I found your userpage by tracing back Al Ameer son's request for a review of Yasser Arafat, on which I've been working with him. Glancing through your userboxes, I found two head-scratchers; I hope you won't mind if I ask:

1. How do you reconcile being both a democrat and a monarchist?
2. Why do you consider organic farming a bad thing? I'm not trying to be annoying, I've just never heard any criticism of it (apart from Monsanto shills).

Cheers! – Scartol · Talk 13:08, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

PassMark Software

Hello User 57,

Thank you for your prompt response. I take on board the comments re: format and apologise as it was my first time at posting.

I'm still a little unsure as to why certain other companies whose format is almost identical are allowed whilst PassMark isn't. e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/Futuremark http://en.wikipedia.org/SiSoftware_Sandra http://en.wikipedia.org/Everest_%28software%29

It isn't all that important to me so I guess I'll drop it. I have to say that I'm surprised at the summary nature with which these decisions are made. It was my understanding that if articles are not up to scratch then users are given the opportunity to amend them. Knowing that it is possible to spend hours researching and writing something and then have it instantly deleted without consultation/communication does dampen my enthusiasm for making future contributions.

Cheers, The Bench —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Bench (talk • contribs) 06:56, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I can understand that just because other companies/products are present this doesn't justify inclusion of another one. However, shouldn't there be consistency of application once quality/notability have been decided? Your message to me indicated that the examples I provided were not appropriate for wikipedia and so you have lodged deletion notices. Why are you not 'speedy deleting' them in the same way as you deleted mine?

I'm really having trouble understanding how this process works. Does fairness play any part of this at all?

Regards, The Bench

Cdncc.com

Hi. You deleted an article on Cdncc.com

I believe the site is noteworthy, being one of the oldest of it's kind in Canada and having a completely unique Usenet feature in parallel which no other classifieds site has.

Should I have just focused on those 2 main qualities instead and left it at that? Rather than provide additional details about the site which were more commonplace?

Thanks for the input. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paris1745 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't find any newpaper articles on the site and I am not aware of any trade journals that exist on the subject. I have used this site for years and many others, it does have a distinct service. I have rewritten a trimmed down version noting it's unique usenet quality, would this be an acceptable entry:

First launched in October 2000, it is one of the oldest online nationwide classifieds in Canada, since then they have expanded to include the U.S.A.

so you can't have a talk page for an article that doesn't exist? Why not? 203.129.63.129 05:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Request on Flowtracer

Hi Number 57. I've declined the speedy deletion of the above, as the article weekly asserts importance (they have patented a process). It's dodgy. You may well wish to take it to WP:AFD however. Best. Pedro :  Chat  15:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Hold on! You're an admin! You could have speedied it yourself! Pedro :  Chat  15:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay - fair enough! It was the line "Flowtracer also uses a patented technology" that gave me pause. It's weak, but being patented does vaguely assert some significance. May as well AFD it though, where it probably won't survive. Pedro :  Chat  15:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Election links

I have created redirects so that we don't have a double-redirect or redlink situation, fixing the articles to point to the correct name, then when I'm sure there's no double redirects, I am intending to move the articles. Consensus has been established twice for this move (once five months ago and once more recently) on the WT:AUSPOL talk page. Orderinchaos 15:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

References and links

Hello 57, I took over for barbaraleif and I'm writing the Linda Levi page. As you suggested to her I'm adding more significance and detail. I've been able to link references to an outside page, like Jon Schueler's book to Amazon, but I can't figure out how to do inner references. For example, like his name, Jon Schueler, to his book reference, The Sound of Slate etc. which is a 1. I'm having the same problem for all the references they all need to be referred to in the text. I've tried to figure it out from Misplaced Pages help but.... Artbuffer 20:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC) Artbuffer

Bangin' On Wax 2... The Saga Continues

It is a implausible typo. The only difference with the redirect is the capital "O" in the word "on". If that's not implausible, then what the hell it is? Reply here, thank you.--Tasc0 20:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you seriously saying that accidently capitalising the only word in the title that is not capitalised is implausible? I think its perfectly possible and therefore a legitimate redirect. пﮟოьεԻ 57 08:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

re:Cdncc.com deletion

re:"...In order for the article to be kept, you need to provide independent third party sources (such as newspaper or trade journal articles) about the company, otherwise it will fail..."

I couldn't find any newspaper articles on the website (seeing as free online classifieds are taking away business from traditional news sources and newspapers it seems unlikely to happen) and I am not aware of any trade journals that exist on the subject.

First time user - deletion of UNOS Voice article

Dear Number 57,

This is my first time uploading an article onto Misplaced Pages, therefore I'm not very sure how this works.

I'm not exactly sure what constitutes 'blatant advertising' as I was under the impression that the text submitted explained what UNOS Voice was, who was behind it and what it's functions are, very similar to the way Skype explained what their SkypeOut function is.

Perhaps you can be more specific on which sections I need to have changed to meet the requirements of Wiki standards.

For the moment because the entry has been deleted altogether, I do not have a backup copy of what was submitted yesterday. Could you retrieve this?

Cheers

Delet of article "Car Dealer Package"

You have deleted my article about our product (Car Dealer Package) and company (Vector) on October 9th 2007 at 12.19 in reason of "No assertion of importance/significance". I am referring to the article about SAP and several SAP-Products: http://en.wikipedia.org/SAP. Why is the description of SAP and SAP's products of any importance to you, while our information is not?

Article deletion - UNOS Voice, getting it right...

Hello Number 57,

Thank you for your guidance.

With regards to the advertising part, I understand now what needs to be removed. I suppose my postings need to be more 'academic' in nature, that's fine. However, I'm not sure how explaining the various functions is 'advertisy'. Why I say this is because if you look at Skype, they have defined what the function of SkypeIn and SkypeOut is. I think UNOS is pretty similar too as they use the same naming conventions as Skype, Yahoo and Vyke. What do you think?

With regards to their notability, I'm not sure how you got the hit rate on Google. If you mean typing the words 'UNOS Voice' into the search field, on my screen it brings back 770,000 hits. In fact when I search UNOS, I can see they have UNOS Voice and UNOS Friends, two listing under the UNOS banner.

In fact what I really wanted to list in the beginning was 'UNOS', not 'UNOS Voice', because I think UNOS is the main flagship - Voice, Friends are just ancillary. Unfortunately there seems to be someone using that name already, as an acronym for United Network for Organ Sharing. I don't know how to create another 'UNOS' page without actually editing the Organ Sharing page. Any insights?

Finally, as to whether the other Wikipedians like yourself would allow it to pass the WK: AfD process, well, I really hope it does (fingers crossed) - because this is so far the only Asian developed fixed mobile convergence platforms to become global. I've been following their public press releases on the web and they seem to be making headway all over the world, although in a small way for now (I guess like Skype was in the beginning). It would be a real shame if they didn't even get indexed on Wiki.

What can I do? Can you help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wanyen (talk • contribs) 09:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Earthfamily deletion

Please explain to me how this entry is something insignificant? I don't understand why you keep deleting it. It's real, legitamite, has members who function together in the real world to help the community and ecosystem, and more.

The Earthfamily is a real-life open membership community that formed in the spring of 1998 to help promote peace, pacifism, spirituality, ecology, bartering and love. The initial beginnings of this group formulated on the Grateful Dead chat forums on America Online, but quickly became a host for people of similar interests to me, help their communities and socialize. this was one of the earliest "real life" movements to use the internet to locate and communicate with it's members on an exclusive basis.

The group's founder Mike "Pappy" Morris, initially posted a dissertation on peace and community within the Grateful Dead forum, and was contacted by several readers who wanted to share similar thoughts, ideas and concepts with fellow like-minded individuals.

From there, a nightly email was sent out to anyone who wished to receive it. The email was a colorful compilation of stories, pictures, bartering offers, thoughts and ideals from both Mike Morris and all of the fellow Earthfamily members. The name Earthfamily quickly became known within the Phish and Grateful Dead forums, and many people joined daily. Small meetings began to take place at concerts and coffee shops between members, as well as organizing assistance for volunteer events. The group did not limit itself to being an online forum or internet community. The first large gathering of Earthfamily Members was unofficially held at the Further Festival in Tinley Park, Illinois in 2008.

As the Family grew into the hundreds of members, manually keeping up with all of the emails, group communications, meeting plans and activity rosters became a daunting task. At this time, a very active Family member named Petrina (Last name unknown) assisted in keeping the communications and events running smoothly. This carried on until it was no longer feasible to operate such a mass communication via America Online.

On October 28th, 1998, the Earthfamily switched over to keeping in communicaton on Yahoo Groups. Mike Morris was the moderator, assisted by Petrina. The forum gained members over the years, but postings on ceased in early 2002. Many members still stayed in contact via email, but the Earthfamily itself went officially on hiatus.

On October 10th, 2007, Mike "Pappy" Morris officially declared the movement as active again, and began recruiting new members and regrouping old ones on MySpace. Within the first 24 hours, the Family grew by over fifty members, and is currently operating upon the same initial beliefs and principals that the Family was initially founded upon almost a decade before. The movement has members from several countries, and hosts peaceful outings known as "Family Picnics", helps converge local members to preform volunteer work in their communities and promotes the growth of barter-system living. The Family is open to all people of like-mindedness that wish to contribute a positive message to the world around them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luvmytat2s (talk • contribs) 21:41, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Help Exchange entry deletion

Greetings Number 57. You deleted my entry for Help Exchange due to "blatant advertising". While I do favor the organization, I limited myself to stating facts in composing the article, remaining as objective as I could. As only a user of the Help Exchange site, I stand to make no profit from promoting it.

I am aware that I mentioned some of the benefits of HelpX, but I thought of it as informative rather than as advertising. In contrasting it against WWOOF, I merely sought to give Wiki users the opportunity to look into both organizations, as they essential offer the same opportunities. If these were bad decisions, I apologize and beseech your advise in editing the article.

If it is the notability of the organization you object, I believe the numbers argue for themselves. HelpX is, I believe, in its 6th year of operation and has tens of thousands of users globally. As a member of the WWOOFing community as well as HelpX in Australia, I find the two organizations to be of nearly equal prevalence. Truth be told, I used the Misplaced Pages entry for WWOOF as my rough guide in writing my entry for Help Exchange.

I thank you for your time and hope to hear your advice. Regards, Douglas —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeofgod (talk • contribs) 23:54, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Robert Stanco

Hi There. I am a college student, doing a paper on one our Alumni who is a writer. His name is Robert Stanco. He also contributed several short fictional stories to "men's magazines" (i.e., Penthouse, etc.), under the pseudonym "J. Trotter." When my paper was completed, I thought it was pretty good and, since there was no information on Mr. Stanco anywhere on the 'net, I decided to create a Misplaced Pages article for him.

After I submitted the article to Misplaced Pages, I was so excited with my work that I emailed Mr. Stanco to show him his Misplaced Pages entry. Unfortunately, he was not happy with the article. He mildly took issue with my portrayal of his work as "a commercial failure", but he was downright furious that I had listed his (numerous) arrests in the article. He asked that I either delete my references to his criminal record, or pull the article entirely.

In the meantime, I had been notified by several Misplaced Pages staff members that my article was marked for "speedy deletion", due to Mr. Stanco's "lack of notability", whatever that is. I disagreed, and temporarily contested its candidacy for deletion on the grounds that Mr. Stanco is somewhat of a public figure in his hometown of Oceanside, New York. His arrest in 2004 was covered by the local television and print news media on Long Island. In fact, I have, in my possession, a VHS video tape of the news coverage of his arrest for bank robbery in December 2004.

However, based on all the resistance I was getting from the Misplaced Pages staff and Mr. Stanco himself, I decided to simply pull the entire article, rather than fight on two fronts.

I have saved the text and "Wiki formatting" of my article and fully intend to re-submit it after the publication of his next book. This time I will fight to have it made permanent. Qwerty1001 06:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Tokyo Diner

I am the original author of the page on Tokyo Diner. I see that you have taken an interest in this page, and I must thank you for your efforts to keep up the standards of Misplaced Pages.

I was delighted to see that other members of the Misplaced Pages community had made improvements to the page. They appear to have been satisfied with the criteria for CSD A7. Clearly, however, you are not satisfied and I would be grateful if you could give me guidance on how to improve the page.

Unfortunately, you deleted the page before I had a chance to save a copy of all the improvements that other people have made. I am new to Misplaced Pages: could you tell me if there is any way to find the content of the page from just before your deletion?

Thanks in advance. Richard Szumlicki 11:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. I deleted the article because it still failed to state why the subject is significant or important. Being a restaurant is not enough to merit an article on Misplaced Pages. Why is Tokyo Diner special? Is it the largest restaurant in London? Did an important event occur there? Has it been covered by independent third party sources such as newspapers or the BBC (I don't believe restaurant reviews count).

It also appears that you are the same person as User:Tokyodiner, which suggests that you are involved with the restaurant. If so, you should read WP:COI and I strongly suggest discontinuing your edits regarding this subject. Thanks, пﮟოьεԻ 57 11:39, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello пﮟოьεԻ 57, thank you for your response. As you know, I am new to editing in Misplaced Pages, and I must say it has been quite a steep learning curve! I am now beginning to understand how the Misplaced Pages community works and how its pages’ quality and accuracy are maintained at such a high standard.

You are right in assuming that I am involved with Tokyo Diner; however, I have now studied Misplaced Pages’s rules, standards and traditions and I am completely committed to respecting them.

I would still like to edit a page on Tokyo Diner, and I hope that I will have the maturity to do so without any COI. Ultimately that will be for others to decide. I have read WP:COI, and I understand that I must “exercise great caution” and “be sure to write in a neutral tone and cite reliable, third-party published sources”.

I am also aware that “conflict of interest is not a reason to delete an article, but lack of notability is.” I now see that my page was far short of the notability that one would expect from a leading encyclopedia. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

You asked if Tokyo Diner has been covered by newspapers or the BBC. As it happens, there have been a number of quality newspaper articles about Tokyo Diner, and the BBC has made a TV program about it.

It will take me a few days of research, but I hope to be able to re-edit the page with some much more noteworthy information and several really robust citations.

Once again, thank you for your input and your response. R.S.

P.S. Whilst trying to ‘learn the ropes’, I enjoyed reading the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers Richard Szumlicki 23:38, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello Richard. Apologies for the delay in replying - I had several other messages soon after yours and I must have missed it. Anyway, if you can provide the links to the BBC or other newspaper articles about the restaurant, then the article will indeed meet WP:NOTABILITY criteria and will not be deleted. I welcome your admittance that you have a COI, and your committment to "exercise great caution". If you rewrite the article, please let me know so that I can add any guidance you may need. Also, as an admin, I am fully aware of WP:BITE; I don't believe that my comment above was overly harsh - merely stating the facts as they are. However, if you were offended I apologise, and I hope you enjoy some fruitful contributions to the project. Regards, пﮟოьεԻ 57 13:05, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello пﮟოьεԻ 57. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to write with such courtesy. Of course, your comments were not harsh: now that my page is up, I totally agree with you!

I have seen the improvements you have made to the page, and I am delighted with them. I am also very much looking forward to seeing how other people develop the page...

Irishguy has made an observation about COI, and I have written to assure him of my commitment to WP’s rules, standards and traditions. In order to be completely transparent about possible COI on this page, I am thinking of logging on in future as “tokyodiner”. Please let me know if this is not appropriate.

Once again, thank you for all the time and effort you devote to WP. Kind regards, Richard.

P.S. I have been telling my friends and colleagues about how thrilling it was when the page finally made the grade. One of them is a tremendously gifted proof-reader, and now that he knows how easy it is to edit, he has already started correcting spelling and punctuation whenever he finds errors on WP.

Deletion Clarification: Seacoast Energy Committee Alliance

Number 57,

I am contacting you pursuant to the Wiki guidelines requesting reconsideration of your deletion of the above entry: Seacoast Energy Committee Alliance. The apparent deletion tracks the "speedy deletion" criterion for failure to provide importance of the entry. While we know recognize that this information was not provided in the appropriate section of the entry, we are requesting the ability to have the entry restored so that we may comply with this requirement. As you already know from our limited number of contributions, we are only learning to use the Wiki-way of communications and it is quite a bit to take in all at once. That being said, we have truly learned our first lesson. This is not a copyrighted entry and verification of sources will be provided upon restoration.

If you are so inclined to restore, we will be providing the following listing of materials for support of this entry:

1. This is a group of municipalities, academics, citizens, and other stakeholders (almost all of whom are independently listed on Wiki, we were only able to provide one listing before deletion) who are forming to address concerns related to energy efficiency and climate change in New Hampshire.

2. This group is providing significant grassroots support for objective steps to take to research, support, and build on issues related to energy inventory, benchmarking, and audits.

3. This is NOT a for-profit entity seeking advertising. It has been referenced and supported by local newspapers, educational, and governmental institutions, and citizens.

4. The Alliance is providing support and outreach and is a fast-growing collaboration that represents a new American grassroots response to concerns related to energy and climate change.

Thank you for considering, and please excuse our oversight on the rules for Wiki.

We respectfully request that you restore the "Seacoast Energy Committee Alliance" So that we can further expand this noteworthy entry and comply fully with the Wiki requirements for a new page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clayaz23 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Number 57,

Thank you for your reply, I have reviewed the WP:COI. While I admit to being a citizen of one of the Town's covered by this entity, my limited involvement does not, in and of itself, pursuant to the COI policy make a "conflict": "Merely participating in or having professional expertise in a subject is not, by itself, a conflict of interest."

This is, objectively speaking, a new organization, and your concern regarding my writing is misinformed. I am not "advertising". Our goal is to inform, as citizens, what this entity is, what it is doing, and how that entity is providing education, topical insight, and relating other organizations so that others may learn. Many of the other groups which are cited on wiki to their work on energy efficiency and climate change. The reason you found 4 hits on google is because the group was previously known by the burdensome name "rockingham/strafford energy committee alliance", which is still difficult to extract from the google-world. I do not believe that google hits is a very good source for making a determination of importance, particularly where such an organization has only begun to grow into google-based relevance.

"Misplaced Pages content is intended to be factual, notable, verifiable with external sources, and neutrally presented, with external sources cited."

Our subject is factual, it is notable, and it is verifiable. Since their are no bright line rules over these definitions, the early manifestation of such a group appears to satisfy these criteria, and again, we respectfully ask you to undelete the page so that we may modify the content, if necessary to comply with the requirements of the wiki guidelines.

It has been difficult to provide objective information about climate change, the IPCC conclusions, and what energy efficiency options are available to United States citizens and local governments with our current federal government.

Thank you, again, for considering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clayaz23 (talk • contribs) 16:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

FINAL COMMENT

I respect your decision on this matter and will continue to try and learn the ropes by diversifying my understanding of the guidelines for edits and creating pages. That being said, however, I think some new users might find it more beneficial if you would try to be a little more helpful and kind to those users who are trying to learn about wiki, especially when you are deleting their work. I realize that this is just an opinion and that there is a significant amount of abusive behavior on wiki having spent some time reviewing the policies, guidelines, and essays, but, it is my understanding that the general idea here is to help people learn and grow; or in the words of the policy page, making this site "a pleasant experience for everyone". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clayaz23 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

i heard blind reverts are frowned upon

I gave you the benefit of the doubt when you told me you added some material, but when going over your changes it looks more like a blind revert that not only shortens the Irit Linur letter (reasonable) but also removes sources and other information. i'm interested to hear your explanation about ALL the changes before i consider any other steps. Jaakobou 08:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

tell you what, fix whatever you do find, and i'll go afterwards and blind revert without reading the changes or the talk page (like you did to me). if your entire involvement in an article is that your POV friends (G-Dett, Nishidani) are "working" on it, then you can't blame me for being a tad miffed by blind reverts that remove both information and sources - this without even reading them. can you tell me what brought you to the article because i don't see you ever working on it before. back to the main point: i'm not "planning" a blind revert, but i do expect you to take a more neutral stance and not to mass revert me like this based on some allegiance with POV pushers. i've assembeled some info into that article (not just Irit Linur) and now it's no longer there - and i thought we were working to make an encyclopedia *shrug* Jaakobou 15:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Warning

Please stop inserting the overly-long criticism section to the Gideon Levy. It is a blatant violation of WP:NPOV#Undue weight. Thank you. пﮟოьεԻ 57 13:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

i shortened it myself (after re-inserting all the blanketed material) and we can discuss shortening it further - your warning is more than ridiculous - you've removed information and sources from the article with a blind revert and now you give me a warning notice?! Jaakobou 20:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

btw, your unexplained source removal here, resulted in the removal of the term "left wing" in the folowing edit - please fix this issue. Jaakobou 20:46, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

1. i suggest we expand on his political beliefs - both that and the criticism that follows are a major part of the public perception on him (i.e. his notability). i expanded some on both - but mostly on the criticism, i leave it to people who prefer his POV to ADD materials to the article ('ADD' being the key word). note also that the article was marked as a stub - so the "deletionist" attitude (personally, seeing exactly who edited before you came along - nickhh, G-Dett, Nishidani, Abu Ali - and made your first ever edit on the article. i tend to interpret it as a bold group effort of promoting the POV shared by you and your friends) seems counter productive to the encyclopedia in my opinion.
2. i've already allowed some funny sites when the report was on topics they'd be considered reliable. i find no exceptional reason to feel that article was a fake Gideon Levi article - and it seemed like a good english source to back up the (not contenteous at all) note that he's considered a leftist.

Sim2Travel

Hi 57,

You deleted the wiki entry I made on the grounds of Notability. Sim2Travel is redeveloping the way mobile (cell phone) technology works and is routed to provide both local access and connectivity. This essentially makes a call from, say, the US to China a local call, and anyone in china can make a local call to reach the user anywhere in the world at local rates. This could viably affect the way millions of cell phone users communicate internationally.

I hope that you would see this as a notable technology in the same sort of light as VOIP is a valuable technology.

I kindly request that you re-instate the entry so I can further explain its function.

2girls1cup

I am wanting to contest the deletion of 2girls1cup.com. It has recently become a popular Shock Site and I feel it should have it's own article. "2girls1cup" brings up 167,000 results in Google. What should I do, or do I have to do to assert notability for this website? Trevor "Tinkleheimer" Haworth 19:40, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Sim2Travel References

Unfortunately, 57, I am quite discouraged by your attitude. Your qualification for what is notable is severely lacking. I imagine that you are not familiar with some of the more complex principles of telecommunications - thats fine - but to presume that everyone else would not find this a notable, and indeed valuable, explanation of a method by which the world can move towards convergence and interconnectivity is foolish for you to judge.

Case in point - you said "The fact that it gets only 73 hits on Google suggests that it is not well known". That is true. However, "Wallis and Futuna Territorial Assembly" (a post you made) receives less than a third of that, yet you seem to find it notable.

If you saw the entry as border-line advertising, I absolutely encourage you to add to the article and any contra-argument. Indeed, I think it is important to compare its functionality to other competing services (i.e. VOIP, Standard Roaming, etc) To the best of my knowledge, however, this is the only service that provides multiple MNO access to a mobile without charging a roaming fee internationally. I also note that marking an article for "Speedy Deletion" requires BLATANT advertising "Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion."

With regards to notability, I have reviewed the wikipedia guidlines, and encourage you to review the following articles: http://www.communicasia.com/press_2007/list_pressrelease3.asp?ID=3&company=Symsoft&Show=CommunicAsia (Note:the world’s first roaming mobile virtual network operator) http://investing.businessweek.com/businessweek/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=10636018 (Note:With its presence in the region, the company will be able to provide advanced solutions for charging, messaging and IP services corresponding to current and evolving requirements.)

Finally, I think you should consider what exactly an encyclopedia is - Dictionary.com seems to think that it is: "a book or set of books containing articles on various topics, usually in alphabetical arrangement, covering all branches of knowledge or, less commonly, all aspects of one subject.". This is knowledge, and great things begin small. Consider Google, if you will, as you seem to place a great deal on its credibility of determining notability. Consider this - can you name any other service that acts as a rMVNO (roaming Mobile Virtual Network Operator)? If you cannot, I urge you to consider this noteworthy and reinstate the article so I may further elaborate.

Step 7 clubs deletion

I would support the deletion of all club articles that haven't played a) at the equivalent of today's step 6 leagues or higher, or b) in the FA Cup in the dim distant past. I was using the Teesside Athletic one as a test case, if it passes I will certainly nominate more. Another user has tried speedy nominating one of the clubs in the Brighton & Hove league but this has been rejected.

Deputy leaders of Israel

It can be misleading, though (to non-Israelis). When I first came across Livni article and saw Acting Prime Minister, my first reaction was to go to Ehud Olmert, and check up on his incapacitation. For most countries, Acting tends to mean 'performing the boss's duties'. That's why I figured Deputy or Vice was a more proper title (as she wasn't performing PM duties). More so Deputy, as that's the title Olmert was described as under Sharon. I don't dispute the Israeli government's titles (anymore), but they're confusing. GoodDay 14:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the changes. I think the confusion also lies in the definition of Deputy and Vice. Both mean the same thing - 'to act in the place of' or Acting. GoodDay 14:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

There's just on more thing. I thought Olmert became Prime Minister when Sharon was 'removed from office' in April 2006? GoodDay 14:57, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I see Interim PM from April 14, 2006 until he (his party) won the rescheduled 2006 general election (then he became PM). I think you might want to check the Ehud Olmert article, it's currently not conforming with these facts. GoodDay 15:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

You may want to check Yitzhak Rabin and Yitzhak Shamir, those articles also have erroneously left out Acting Prime Minister. GoodDay 15:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Why do we have to have needless repetition? There is not a single page that even links to the page Heinz (bet)!

Raphael Lataster

Hello,

The article on Raphael Lataster is significant as Aramaic primacy is a significant force in Christianity. It is a belief that is prevalent in Eastern Christianity and gaining more acceptance in Western Christianity. Raphael Lataster is one of the main promoters of this movement, working through his website and his book, which is the most popular book on the topic, due to it's comprehensiveness (nearly 300 pages) and its price (free).

It is noteworthy that Paul Younan has a wikipedia article dedicated to him, despite the fact that he has been inactive in the field for at least a year and his website is down. Lataster's website is not down, and is the most viewed website on the Peshitta, verified by Alexa's ranking which shows that AramaicPeshitta.com is in the top 1.3million websites while Peshitta.org is outside the top 2 million. Raphael Lataster is mentioned in 3 wikipedia articles.

Please reactivate the Raphael Lataster article.

p.s. It is also noteworthy that Raphael Lataster is only 23 years old and early last year had nothing but debt. Now he has a portfolio of property and shares and has started a career as a financial planner. Being someone who grew up with abuse and poverty, he has managed to turn his life completely around in under one year. He is currently writing books on the troubles in the Pharmaceutical industry (he is a pharmacist also) and a "Rags to Riches" type book chronicling his rapid rise from poverty to relative wealth. According to his website and forum, he intends to use much of his resources to promote Aramaic primacy on a greater scale in the near future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.8.26 (talk) 21:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Multi-Image Manager

Several folks in the mainframe computing community have been trying to seed Misplaced Pages with articles about key technologies in the mainframe field. I have added and updated several entries in this area (GRS, Access method, OS/390, etc.) to try to gain momentum in the topic. MIM is a key technology historically, in that it was the first software technology enabling IBM mainframes to share peripherals (some 7 years before the advent of GRS, 13 before Sysplex, and 18 before Parallel Sysplex. To this day, MIM continues to provide serialization and systems management capability among many of the top users of mainframe technology.

Looking at Misplaced Pages, one can see many articles about computer software, beyond hardware platforms (e.g IBM PC), software platforms (e.g. DOS, MS-DOS, Windows, Linux)) to include ubiquitous software like Internet Explorer and Lotus 1-2-3. Clearly, mainframe technology is not as well known as PC software, it has had at least an equal profound impact on the advancement of computing technology as anything in the Windows, Unix, world.

I started the article with the intent of having someone far more expert than I to flesh it out (users and architects). —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScottFagen (talk • contribs) 21:23, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Then how about offering suggestions to how else one may go about removing these superfluous articles?

I'm happy to learn how to "do it right" if someone takes the opportunity to advise me. AirdishStraus 08:57, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice. My initial comments were the normal reaction of of anyone who has actions contested with no helpful information other than an officious statement. People have feelings and naturally react to challenge (as a teacher/lecturer I have to initially always act with "kid gloves" when dealing in all respects with students). All I want to do is improve the information on WP in my area of expertise, and to this end I will accept any amount of friendly advice. I think that it is better to assume that people are not experts in the ways of Wiki-editing and therefore take the time to offer helpful advice in the first instance rather than have people react (as I did) in a defensive manner.

Douglas M. Berger

Hi 57,

"No assertion of importance/significance"

Dr. Berger has published a number of scientific articles, including one in a top tier scientific magazine, SCIENCE. He is one of a very few Western psychiatrists to practice in Japan long-term, and he has made scientific contributions to the study of schizophrenia, dissociative disorders, suicide in medical patients, and the development of antidepressants in Japan. For these reasons, I believe a stub is an appropriate type of page for this clinician and scientist. Please see "Antidepressants in Japan" as this includes references to his past work and is part of the WikiProject Japan. I wish to improve this and add more Japan related articles.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Menicos (talk • contribs) 01:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Need to provide more information regarding Moshavim

You had removed the Kibbutz Infobox from the article about Ein Ayala. I understand the reason for the removal, but underlying my insertion of said and your following action, there is a deep need to provide a template - infobox that will suffice both articles on kibbutzim and moshavim.

The 2 settlements/organizations are fairly similar, and would benefit from a coherent means to display information about both. If there is a separate infobox for moshavim, please point me to it, if not, please help me modify usage so that the infobox developed for articles on kibbutzim can also be reused for describing moshavim.

I hve added my suggestion to the discussion on Infobox kibbutz.

Many thanks, SZAgassi18:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

You are obviously entitled to change your opinion, but you are actually opposing a proposal that you suggested (changing the name/scope) and supported in the previous discussion. Tewfik 22:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Sim2Travel Google in China

Very well numbers, I duly note the Territorial Assembly of Wallis & Futuna. I am not here to question its notability, simply seeking balance. I dont see how you being the author or not matters with respect to my reference. Its funny, though, that by defending the Assembly, you indeed helped me in illustrating why Sim2Travel is notable. I will expand below.

Take a look here: Sim2Travel References Taiwan (455 Google Hits)

Numbers, I apologize the context of the previous linking in your discussion was misconstrued. The links were not intended as unique references, they were there to illustrate that both Newsweek, Symsoft, and CommunicAsia find Sim2Travel notable, even if you do not. Additionally, one link provided at the very minimum 14 sentences of reference to Sim2Travel while the other provided 4. These links not being included in my wiki-post aside, while some may see it as advertising, the Wiki code uses the phrasing BLATANT advertising as the criteria.

Advertising is not inherently bad, either, especially when taken to mean "to give information to the public about; announce publicly in a newspaper, on radio or television, etc."

So, if this addresses the question of notability and your concerns about advertising, I will look forward to the un-deletion of the snippet so I may further expound and enhance the article. Should you disagree, please try and reply with specific deficiencies that need to be emphasized for your satisfaction citing, directly, their grounds. I look forward to your timely response. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aquilus1 (talk • contribs) 03:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

KitKat Crescent

Hi. The name of this stadium is KitKat Crescent, not the former name, Bootham. It is simply no longer Bootham. Its not like a league, like Premier League being known as the "Barclays Premiership", this is the actual name of the facility. Mattythewhite 15:59, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Monash City FC

Hello Number 57, you have deleted our article we were creating on Monash City FC. We had only just begun to develop the club history page and significance. The Club is regionally significant within Victoria and nationally significant within Australia as centre of excellence for developing elite youh football players. In 2005 the Club won the International Youth Cup and has State Team representatives in each age group from U12 to U15. Our Club has also developed the youngest female player to enter the Victorian Institute of Sport and has produced our first A League Player, Steven O'Dor. Steven is also U20 International. We have adopted the Clairefontaine Institute approach to developing talented footballers I see from your profile you are in England so may have lack of understanding of our football culture. In Australia it is development clubs such as ours which produce talented players for senior clubs or to enter Institutes. We do not have an FA Academy style system that underpins the professional clubs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ferns200 (talk • contribs) 04:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC) Ferns200 05:55, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Magento entry

Hello

I think it's wrong you deleted Magento page on Misplaced Pages. This is an evolving open-source, free project that is really going to "rule" in the e-commerce world during next years due to very poor open-source and free alternatives (like oscommerce). If you removed Magento entry why you didn't remove oscommerce then?

Integration Consortium

Hello 57, I discovered that you had deleted the page for the Integration Consortium and am confused by your actions. We are a non profit industry body that facilitates collaboration, standards support and development, education and communication on the area of enterprise integration (data, applications, systems, people, companies). I have noticed that most of our peer organizations also have Misplaced Pages pages with their content loaded on the site (OMG, Open Group, OASIS, W3C...) and would like to understand what we need to do to make the IC work and content available to the Misplaced Pages users? Any insight you can give us will be very much appreciated. By the way, you have a typo on your Ashington A.F.C. page. ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by MkuhbocK (talk • contribs) 23:51, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Civilty

You stated that I have a problem. You also implied that I am aggrieved by wikipedia. Both are condescending and insulting. If you are to condemn me for insulting you, don't turn around and insult me in that condemnation. That is the height of hypocrisy. And removing the warning from your talk page? My word.

Rushmere, Suffolk

A Proposed Deletion template has been added to the article Rushmere, Suffolk, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page.

Deletion of First Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee

I'm still new at this. At a loss as to reason for deletion, as this is an ongoing project that I have undertaken as the church's archivist. I noted that the significance of the congregation was as the first Southern Baptist church established in Memphis in 1839, making it the church from which all other Southern Baptist churches in Memphis and its suburbs were established. Its historical significance since its founding can be documented. FBCMemphisArchivist 20:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Article Deletion

Why did you delete the article that I created today. The article is not blatant advertising. The article is meant to show the difference between different types of couplings for different mechanical applications. Several companies offer these types of couplings. R+W wrote this article to inform all consumers of the benefits of certain type of couplings. We are not saying that our couplings are better than others. Please let me know how this is considered to be advertising. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bconner (talk • contribs) 21:33, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Flexible Shaft Couplings

Can we not just remove the link and the "brought to you by"?

Atomic Swindlers

Hey. I noticed you deleted the talk page for Atomic Swindlers, giving the rationale that it's a talk page for an article that doesn't exist. Atomic Swindlers was deleted, and I recreated it fixing the problem that caused it to be deleted in the first place. The article DID exist at the time you deleted the talk page. Applejuicefool 13:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for reinstating the article. Please feel free to discuss any changes you feel it needs to remain undeleted. Applejuicefool 15:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Judith Hornbogen

Hello,

I wrote an article about Judith Hornbogen and it was deleted. I think because of a lack of significance.

Please confirm what was wrong with the article so I can fix it, if possible.

I think she is a good artist that deserves to be listed on Wiki and her works can be viewed online and she is an actual graduate from a proper art academy. I was hoping to collect more info on her to augment the article but I don't want to waste my time either.

If you do not think she is significant enough, let me know

Thanks, Simon Wakefield (Simonwakefield 19:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC))

Seeking Clarifaction

Number 57,

I am unsure about why you deleted a page I created about the musician Jack Clift.

This page was vandalized at the beginning of October and populated with spurious nonsensical material. You deleted this page on October 6th. Last week, noting the "No assertion of importance" qualification, I rewrote the page

with links to at least ten collaborators with their own wikipedia entries.  I also referenced a

project of unprecedented scope that is of cultural significance in multiple nations, the collaboration with John Carter Cash.

I am currently preparing the text to be translated into both Uzbek and Russian to add to the those language's Wikipedias.

Mr. Clift had a composition that was licensed by the 1996 Summer Olympics. He co-produced 2 projects last year for Minneapolis record label Soulfood. One of these albums, Trantric Chill was the label's biggest seller in CDs and downloads.

if there any other issues besides the notablilty factor, please let me know.

thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,

Ben

Re: Category:Communal cities, towns and villages in Israel
