==Reverted B roads==
Hello Ian13

As an administrator with an interest in the UK roads project, can you please see what you can do about the Articles ], ] and ]. An editor using only an IP address seems intent on reverting these pages back to ] and then he/she has, in the past, places warning templates on my talk page. I have left notability notes on Article talk page but these seem not to be enough for this editor to leave these pages to stand alone. These actions seem to be rather disruptive and seem to go against constructive contributions made to improve road information on Misplaced Pages. Please let me know if you think that these pages are not worth keeping and I will no longer try to contribute to them and they can be assigned to the electronic paper basket. Your opinion will be very much appreciated.<small><span style="border: 1px solid">]]</span></small>

:I should answer some points here. There is a clear consensus that the subjects at hand are not notable, and therefore not worthy of their own entries. There seems to be no indication from ] on there being multiple, independent, reliable sources to support their claim to the contrary. The user then made comments on talk pages and in edit summaries that slighted other contributors, and was reminded that our policy was to ]. They ignored this and made further comments as to the character of other contributors, including accusing participants at ] of "road snobbery". I made an attempt to point out to the user that their actions were bordering on disruption, at which point they decided to remove all doubt by ranting about the attitudes of other contributors on ''three'' talk pages, including copying and pasting entire sections of policy pages into discussions. I also note the personal comments above. I hope this clears up why the user was warned for disruption. ] (]) 10:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

::I have been keeping an eye on this dispute since another user warned me of it (above). The clear consensus you speak of seems more opaque: there seems to be users on both side of the debate. Redirecting to a non-equivalent page is similar to deleting it, and thus seems like the sort of action which requires debate - but on a talk page, not through reverts. At ], some discussion has occurred and issues raised have not been addressed. It seems reasonable to me that the page content should remain in its former state until decided otherwise. With regards to references, the pages have 1, 3 and 1 references (respectively), and any bias claims could be resolved in ways other than effectively removing all the content. The copying and pasting of content to multiple discussions, whilst not necessarily wholly called for, they were all places where the discussion was occurring, so ] certainly doesn't make me think it was disruptive. User talk page templates are designed for cases where disruption is clear, otherwise a friendly note is usually more appropriate. I can't spot these attacks you speak of, but I am happy to comment if you link me to the appropriate page diff. There isn't much more to say about this debate, but I can only advice you both (although this likely applies more to ] given previous edits) to make use of the article talk pages, and assume good faith. ]] 12:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

:::Thank you for your quick response to my communication. I note all your comments and would be more than pleased to enter into a debate about these pages. I had tried in the past to put my point of view across to the editor, but the user in question seems to think that I had been to strong in my criticism of his actions and tagged my talk page accordingly. I can only apologies to the editor if he felt I was not treating his actions in good faith, but he/she has failed to join into any constructive debate other than to say that the comments I had placed on the pages talk page were, in his/her opinion not valid, with no suggestion of what he/she thought would make these pages notable. In any case reverting the pages because he/she had decided for themselves that the article content was not notable is, as has been mentioned in other debates a form of deletion without consensus. I certainly regret getting into a reversion war with this editor as it is really a waste of both our times..<small><span style="border: 1px solid">]]</span></small>
::::Good. (As an aside, is there a reason your signature lacks a timestrap? <nowiki>~~~ gives the signature, ~~~~ signature and time, ~~~~~ time.</nowiki>) ]] 13:34, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::As I have made clear, I shall stop reverting the page when ] and accomplices stop recreating them. The situation is clear - we need multiple, independent, reliable sources that demonstrate the route's notability. It's mere presence on a map does not. In any case, use of a map as a source would constitute ], since it involves joining the dots. I am bemused as to how you have some to the strange conclusion that I am causing the disruption here.

::::::Calling someone 'Mr Anonymous' is indeed inappropriate in that case. However, people can get a little annoyed when they find their page is repeatedly reverted and the user doesn't discuss on the talk page. Your posting of a POINT message when in a dispute with that user can be seen as inappropriate, or even making a POINT yourself. This clearly is not a clear-cut content removal, because people are objecting. My recommendation to you would, if you can't reach a compromise, be to take the article to AfD (quite commonly, these end with the decision of ''redirect''). , if a little offhand, at least the user is trying to address why he thinks the deletion should stop. ( seems inappropriate to the discussion.) However, saying you will stop reverting when your page version is preserved is unconstructive: this isn't about succeeding, it is about improving the encyclopedia, and in disputes, the original version generally holds until discussion deems otherwise - otherwise, your editing is disruptive. ]] 15:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Precisely how is flat out branding people as "completly unresonable and is disruptive", making ], and accusing editors in good standing of "suffer from some sort of Road snobbery" acceptable behaviour? ] has neither apologised, nor given any hint that they would refrain from such in future.

Just wanted to ask you about a wiki page that was deleted about 2 years ago. The page was about an artist from Canada titled "Alisha Pillay". I would love to see this page on Misplaced Pages again. Her debut single "Convicted" hit Canadian radio in January 2010 and she managed to reach #38 on the Canadian Top 40 charts. She won the opportunity to have her song on Canadian radio through a competition called "Radio Active" which was thrown by Pitbull Promotions. The song was received well and managed to win over Sony Music Canada, who continued to market and promote the song. She was also featured as an emerging artist on the Billboard Canadian Update and won the "Chum Emerging Artist" award for April 2010.
=== Compromise ===
Hi Ian13,


She has collaborated with many established writers including: Alisha M'Jestie Brooks (Rihanna, Pon De Replay), James Fauntleroy (Chris Brown, Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and many others), Jarvis Church of the Philosopher Kings (Nelly Furtado) and many others. She has also performed with the Canada's most acclaimed producer, David Foster. She was the winner of his first singing competition in BC called "Opportunity of a lifetime"
I am prepared to compromise for a ] and last time, on this article. I am prepared to change the junction names from say "Culverhouse Cross Interchange" to just "Culverhouse Cross" and "St Fagans slip road" to "St Fagans" etc.throughout the infoboxes on the condition that:

Alisha Pillay

Hey Ian,

Just wanted to ask you about a wiki page that was deleted about 2 years ago. The page was about an artist from Canada titled "Alisha Pillay". I would love to see this page on Misplaced Pages again. Her debut single "Convicted" hit Canadian radio in January 2010 and she managed to reach #38 on the Canadian Top 40 charts. She won the opportunity to have her song on Canadian radio through a competition called "Radio Active" which was thrown by Pitbull Promotions. The song was received well and managed to win over Sony Music Canada, who continued to market and promote the song. She was also featured as an emerging artist on the Billboard Canadian Update and won the "Chum Emerging Artist" award for April 2010.

She has collaborated with many established writers including: Alisha M'Jestie Brooks (Rihanna, Pon De Replay), James Fauntleroy (Chris Brown, Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and many others), Jarvis Church of the Philosopher Kings (Nelly Furtado) and many others. She has also performed with the Canada's most acclaimed producer, David Foster. She was the winner of his first singing competition in BC called "Opportunity of a lifetime"

She is going to release her second single "Love Drunk" in Canada on July 12, 2010.

Thanks for your time! Would love to see this page back on Wiki with all the new updates!
