Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 11:36, 7 September 2014

This talk page is archived every month (if I remember). The older pages are indexed at User talk:NawlinWiki/Archives.

Please sign your comments by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ).

Wondering why your pages were speedily deleted? Check this list first.

Do you want to move a page that I've move-protected? Discuss the move first on the article's talk page. If there's a consensus for the move, let me know and I'll unlock the page.

Please add all comments at the bottom of the page (or I may not be able to find them).

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right (talking), but you swiftly deleted the Red Durkin page, and I mistakenly have been working on Red durkin not knowing how to re-create the proper page or transfer the content. She is not a "blatant hoax", she is a real and important person who is readily google-able with factual information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexdoesfletcher (talk • contribs) 04:30, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children in Scotland

Hi, I would like to request that the article for Centre for Excellence for Looked After Children in Scotland (CELCIS) be restored. I have no connections to the Centre but understand that it is a noteworthy institution. I would be happy to edit the article, so that any content that is self-promotional is removed from the article. Drchriswilliams (talk) 15:12, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• The article that I deleted was a cut and paste of the organization's mission statement, written in first person ("Our overarching aim is to improve the outcomes and experiences of children", etc.). It would probably be better if you started a new article from scratch. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 15:17, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
  • I would agree that under these circumstances that the decision to take the content down was correct. I will start another from scratch rather than trying to rework it. Thanks for your help (and sorry if I posted in the wrong place on the page originally!) Drchriswilliams (talk) 15:31, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

The new Adobe page initiative

• Hey NawlinWiki, Thanks for your interest in this page. I appreciate the advice you dropped on my talk page. As you can see on my userspace here ( https://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Bostonscribe/sandbox ) I have solicited help and comments in this direction. In addition, I have contacted directly other editors who gave some great advice along the same line as yours. However, I noticed that the most recent comment on the real Adobe Systems Talk page is around January 2011. Therefore, I have concluded that it may take quite some time before I hear from someone. If there a direct way, someone can merge these two articles (the best of both), I will be most happy. Thanks Bostonscribe (talk) 15:24, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Pingpongo

Hi: I won't be undeleting this, but I note that rather than A11, it should have been A2: as created, it was an import of es:PingPongo, and that has references indicating it's a real game that has been played at events in Latin America and in Norway. I've dropped a note to the editor who created it here telling them to only create articles in English here. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:56, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Scratch that - the editor created it again in English, so I've undeleted the earlier versions for the sake of attribution. Yngvadottir (talk) 22:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Please restore the page "Russ David Wilson"

I don't understand why my page was deleted? There are countless others like it (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/Joel_Trammell). I also want to copy the content that I created and now it's gone. Can you please restore it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Russelldwilson (talk • contribs) 20:00, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Please restore the page Vahan Jewelry

Our page Vahan Jewelry was deleted on the grounds that segments of text were copied from the website http://laurays.net/vahan-jewelry.htm and therefore was in conflict with the copyright terms. The truth of the matter is, Lauray's is a retailer of ours and was given permission to use text from the official Misplaced Pages page in order for them to share the history of Vahan Jewelry. Therefore, in fact it is Laurays, who has copied the text from our Misplaced Pages page and not the other way around. The reason this has turned into a problem is that we have recently updated the Misplaced Pages page for Vahan Jewelry with some additional information and resubmitted it as a new article. The owner of the Lauray's website can corroborate this fact. What steps can we take to restore the deleted page, as it seems we missed the opportunity to contest the speedy deletion? CedricDC (talk) 16:26, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• Whether or not there is a copyright violation, the deleted article was impermissibly promotional. It talked about the current owner's "true passion" and said "the Calousdian brothers have evolved the brand and successfully perpetuated the family's legacy of making irresistible designer jewelry". We don't allow advertising. See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:45, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• CedricDC I would suggest that you read the policy pages that NawlinWiki has linked to. Your Draft:Vahan Jewelry has the same WP:NOTADVERTISING problems as the article that was deleted. You can fix these before the draft is assessed. If you don't it is highly unlikely that it be moved into article space. MarnetteD|Talk 19:18, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for removing the legitimate, universally accepted truth of israels and (zionism as a whole) deep seated problems with inherent racism. You're doing a good job defending the indefensible. Nastyaftertaste (talk) 16:39, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• We do try to maintain a neutral point of view around here. Included in that is not accepting that something is a "universally accepted truth" just because you (or any other editor) says so. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:43, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the cleanup, I have a feeling im going to have to invent a "Detect and auto-revert Evlenkis's socks" bot. Amortias (T)(C) 19:06, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

More revisions that need reverting

Hi. I noticed that you reverted inappropriate edits by Keith0500 to the Stephen Curry article. I noticed that he did the same kind of revision to several other articles on basketball players, including Damian Lilard and Serge Ibaka. Thanks. JonathanCinSF (talk) 20:49, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Paid editor?

Tell me this is not a paid editor, or someone with a conflict of interest. (Search Google for Rachleff and Califano, and you'll see the connection is the Damon Runyon Cancer team.) - 2601:B:BB80:E0:F109:7FA8:471:3F5D (talk) 11:00, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you much for your guidance. We have gone ahead and revised our wording - ensuring that language that may be viewed as promotional in nature has been neutralized. Appreciate your insight! — Preceding unsigned comment added by General Re (talk • contribs) 14:24, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

CSOC 2015

You have deleted CSOC 2015 page. There are several articles/pages about academic conferences in Misplaced Pages.

An email containing details of the permission for this text has been sent in accordance with WP:VRT. Note to uploaders: Please copy the URL of this image or article in the email to assist the Volunteer Response Team to find it. If an email cannot be found in the VRTS system, the content may be deleted for lack of valid licensing information. Note to the Volunteer Response Team: If the email contains sufficient confirmation of the validity of the license, please replace this template with {{Permission ticket|id=Ticket number}}. Otherwise, remove the copyrighted content, deleting the page if necessary.

is pending. There is no reason for deletetion.

• The reason was that the page was, more or less verbatim, the flyer publicizing the conference. We don't allow advertising, see WP:SPAM. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:55, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Sunday Publishing

Firstly apologies, I did not read enough of the guidance on publication before creating this page, I believe I should have mentioned that I work for Sunday and manage our online activity. I was looking for something to this effect, but didn't see it. That, however, was my oversight.

In terms of notability, as far as this can be applied to any commercial activity, I guess I would have hoped that this was established in accordance with all of the five bullet points under Misplaced Pages:Notability#General_notability_guideline, largely as demonstrated by the large number of online references from reputable external sources, including professional recognition in the form of awards. Additionally, Sunday has many clients that are featured within Misplaced Pages, as documented.

This was not an attempt to use Misplaced Pages for blatantly promotional activity - I tried hard to provide external corroboration for as much of the included information as possible - and if you can suggest how this content might be improved to a level considered satisfactory I'd greatly appreciate it. T1kenobi (talk) 16:06, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

• First, I don't think the within-industry awards satisfy our notability guidelines, WP:CORP. But more importantly, the article shows why we strongly discourage people from writing about their own company. Misplaced Pages can't be taken as endorsing statements like "Sunday creates compelling and effective content". See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:27, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response, much appreciated. I absolutely accept that the statement you mention was a mistake - I had major misgivings about including it (although it also had references) and was not surprised to see it removed (which actually seemed to happen before you reviewed the article, so I'm not sure if it's still pertinent?).

Notability - I was *not* at all suggesting that industry awards were the only means by which the piece met the notability criteria, although I wouldn't have thought it counted for nothing (Oscars, Grammys, etc etc). The 'General notability guideline' is broken down into 5 bullet points, as far as I could see the article could be said to satisfy each of them, to some degree at least - this was the intention of the 19 references included. If you disagree, it would be good to hear why.

I had hoped the breadth of external references, and that fact that little within the article was not qualified by at least one of these, would be deemed acceptable. It would be easy for me to show you much poorer examples (in terms of measure-able notability) of commercial organisations within Misplaced Pages, I don't imagine this is something that comes as a surprise to you.

Again, I can only reiterate that the intention was to provide a source a reliable information. Believe it or not, it is something that is sought out as the name Sunday features on many of the works produced for clients.

Keen to hear what else could be required? T1kenobi (talk) 19:30, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

* Hey there, I was wondering if you'd had time to consider my response? I hoped that I had covered the reasons why I felt the submission satisifed the criteria for notability. Having looked again at the text (at the point at which you deleted it), it seems like it was fairly descriptive, sticking to largely independently verifiable statements of fact.

Speedy Deletion of Page Green Earth Landscaping and Nursery

Yesterday you nominated this page for speedy deletion stating that it is not significant as an encyclopaedic content. But I would like to bring to your notice that Green Earth is the only Green Company in the region and has been working towards protecting the local people from various factors including pollution, poverty, educational degradation and political instability. This company has begun construction of 80000 sq ft Biodiversity park. It will be first of its kind in the area which will educate people about the flora and fauna of the region. There has been no such initiative since last 65 years. This is the reason I want to create a page to provide information about the company and its work. There are 3100 people which are associated with this project and are voluntarily helping to reach out to the people outside our sphere of influence. In order to accomplish this other people need to know the basis of this revolutionary work and there is no other place better than Misplaced Pages to share this knowledge. This company is also related to many of my recent edits and new pages related to temples, forts and clans in the surrounding area. I would like to see a page dedicated to such a work. Please make sure that this page is accepted as it will provide a common link to all the people and places in the area of its influence. By denying its presence on Wiki, you will deny 3100 people from coming forward for a better future. Abhishek Pujari (talk) 04:53, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

• We don't keep articles based on whether you, or I, think the subject is important. We rely on coverage by reliable independent sources. Otherwise, we're just making our own value judgments. Also, Misplaced Pages is not a place to publicize your project. See WP:NOTADVERTISING. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:30, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

That's for this. Thanks for the laughs though. 92.47.90.79 (talk) 11:36, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
