Had Brews gone to a physics page and corrected a typo, then that would have been a deliberate action. He would have had the reasonable choice not to do that. So, while in a certain sense he would have made a smaller physics related edit, it would still have been a far more grave violation of his topic ban. ] (]) 21:23, 10 November 2009 (UTC) | Had Brews gone to a physics page and corrected a typo, then that would have been a deliberate action.

:Your argument is very clear. However, Brews original unblock request looked like . There's no substance to it beyond an accusation of unfairness.

Hello Tnxman. You and I have both declined unblock requests from this editor. I don't see any forward progress in the discussion, so do you think it is now time to disable his Talk page access? (He has now opened his fifth request). He did say a few more things about the sockpuppetry, which is what you said in your own response that he needed to address. ] (]) 05:04, 11 November 2009 (UTC) |

GCC6
Hello Tnxman307! This is Khalidco who is the author of the page GCC6 that was quickly deleted for no expressed reason. The indication of importance of this page is far greater than what can be measured from someone in Australia for example. The page will provide information about a web site that is going to serve a large population in the Arabian Gulf (GCC) countries in ways that have not been available not too long ago. Further reading of A7 makes me wonder if we are both looking at the same page. I am the develper of that site and you can verify that using tools such a domaintools.com which will display to you the adminstrative contact person's email. The same emil is used when I registered with WIKIPEDIA. I plan to add to it and improve the appearanse as we go along. It would be nice to see stats about visitors and locations in this universe. If you know a way to do that, please let me know.
Khalid
p.s. I think you should've replied to my previous response or at least respect the hang-on tag that I've placed before you killed it.
Hello.. I have modified gcc6 and placed it in user:khalidco/sandbox. I've always seen pages on wiki that are still not yet complete. Moreover, the reason for the deletion is specified as A7 related. I am sure that there are so many existent pages that you can arguably tag for that criteria or another. Please look at the modified page in the sanbox folder and let me know if it is acceptable to wiki admins. It would be very useful to wiki visitors who can benefit from the site's services. Especially the ones in that part of the world. Gratsi. Signing to enable archiving. TNXMan 02:53, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Restoration
You need to restore Team Bronx article... it was underdevelopment... Team Bronx website has not yet registered itself with the Google search engine but it does have a website--hence it is real.
You seriously need to take a chill, ease off the delete button. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsaleem (talk • contribs) 02:44, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Just because something exists doesn't mean it qualifies for an article on Misplaced Pages. Please read our info on what makes something notable enough for an article and our advice on how to write your first article. TNXMan 02:52, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

The links you requested, I put four spaces between each one for you: http://www.isminfo.com/index.php?option=com_jambozine&layout=article&view=page&aid=6079 http://www.imagesourcemag.com/article.asp?id=2508&type=article http://www.bsminfo.com/article.mvc/Sell-The-ROI-Of-Document-Imaging-Solutions-0001 http://othellooutlook.com/?p=3029 24.39.153.124 (talk) 14:27, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. I am not really able to review the sources at the moment, but I will as soon as I get a chance. TNXMan 14:43, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
I highly doubt you go to that school. How could you possibly assume that what I wrote was nonsense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benny the mascot (talk • contribs) 03:20, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. I apologize for being out of line above. Hopefully my recent edits to the page compensate for the low-quality edits I made before. Benny the mascot (talk) 03:50, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Follow up (5) Benny's message, say what?
Hi Tnxman 307. I read Benny's message and have no clue what the heck he is saying or if it even applies to our conversation.24.39.153.124 (talk) 15:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think it does and he may just not have known how to use a new header. I am still reviewing the links, sorry for the delay. TNXMan 15:32, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- I've reviewed the links for you. The ImageSource magazine article is mostly advertising. However, the other article look OK, especially the one about the hospital. Since you've demonstrated there are some reliable sources out there, I wouldn't have a problem with a recreation of the article. However, please read our info on writing neutrally and how write a great article. TNXMan 20:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Request for peer review of SENSOR-Pesticides article
Howdy, Tnxman307. I have a peer-review request: I've listed the SENSOR-Pesticides article for peer review under the "natural sciences." I saw that you were listed as someone who was willing to be contacted for requests on the AfC project page. If you have a minute, please look over the article and offer your comments/suggestions/edits. It's not a long article, so it shouldn't take long! Thanks. Mmagdalene722 (talk) 19:57, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- I will review the article when I get a chance. I haven't had a moment to really sit down and review things (see a few sections above). I'll drop you a line once I do. Cheers! TNXMan 20:05, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
- It appears that another editor has reviewed the article for you. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Cheers! TNXMan 20:24, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- I saw that, but the more input I have, the better - I'm kind of a newbie at Misplaced Pages. If the most you can do is just skim and offer some general suggestions, that would be wonderful. I understand if you're backlogged, though. Mmagdalene722 (talk) 17:25, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- It appears that another editor has reviewed the article for you. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Cheers! TNXMan 20:24, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Michael J. Burg (TRUMAN CAPOTE section)
I posted a photo that you deleted. This a personal photo, that I took while on set of THE AUDREY HEPBURN STORY, Montreal in March of 1999. I may have clicked on the wrong liscensing, if so I apologize.
Would you please put the photo back? OR remove the box entirely, so I can start again.
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RobertAllenWright (talk • contribs) 20:27, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- If you clicked the wrong licensing info, simply reupload it with the correct info. The directions are on this page. TNXMan 20:29, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Why did you delete my article on the Pearlstone Conference & Retreat Center?
I created the article because it is a popular lodging venue in the Baltimore area and I believe it deserves a page describing it on Misplaced Pages. I spent quite a bit of time creating it and I am dissapointed that it was deleted. Please let me know what I should edit or omit to make the article better! Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calm123 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- The article had no indication what made the company notable. I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article, as that may have info that can assist you. You should also write a draft of the article in your userspace (something like User:Calm123/Sandbox) so that you can work on it before moving it to the mainspace. TNXMan 03:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Jeffrey Chiang
hi I tried to create a page on Jeffrey Chiang and it was not meant to be a personal attack. This story is very popular and famous and the external links support the same. Kindly look into it.
- I'm sorry, but the article was a negative, unsourced BLP. Please read our info on personal attacks and what makes someone notable enough to have a article on Misplaced Pages. TNXMan 13:39, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. What is BLP? And please also provide the link for notability guidelines for a living person and my violation of the same (given the external links provided by me on the same). AFA negativity is concerned, we could always change the tone of the article to make it more positive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anupamjain008 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- BLP is Misplaced Pages's policy on biographies of living people, which is strictly enforced. The guidelines on the notability of people are found here. One person cheating on a job interview is not notable. If you think that you can write a neutral article, I would suggest writing in your userspace (something like Anupamjain008/Sandbox) first, then asking another editor to review it before posting it to the mainspace. TNXMan 13:47, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
One person cheating on interview is not notable of course. However, him being denied to ever be able to work on wall street due to this reason is notable according to me. Kindly read the notability guidelines again: "interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded".
Do you not think that the whole incident is interesting and unusual enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anupamjain008 (talk • contribs) 14:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Not particularly, no. Notability is defined by receiving significant coverage in independent reliable sources. As I said, your best bet is to write the article in a sandbox first and ask another editor to review it. TNXMan 14:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Dimitrios Ziampazis
Hello, I think your good-faith deletion of this article may have been in error. The article clearly asserted notability of the subject as a Greek television presenter and TV journalist. Could you please undelete the article, and prod or AFD if necessary? Thanks, MuffledThud (talk) 15:00, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Done. The article is here. I don't see a lot there, however, that indicates notability. Cheers! TNXMan 15:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Norb Technologies
Hi TnxMan307, Could you identify what it was you objected to in the entry for Norb Technologies, please?
I based this page on the entry for a similar company which is already in Misplaced Pages. It was purposely made to be factual, neutral and non promotional in line with Misplaced Pages's guidelines.
The only thing I didn't add was a talk page entry to identify myself as having a COI, which I didn't realise was a requirement until after it was deleted !
Any advice from you would be much appreciated.
Best wishes, NorbCEO (talk) 15:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Jon. (NorbCEO).NorbCEO (talk) 15:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but the article appeared to be advertising and also did not indicate why the company was notable. I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article and how to use reliable sources to support it. Since you have a conflict of interest, I would also recommend writing the article in your userspace first (something like User:NorbCEO/Sandbox) and asking another editor to review it before moving it to the mainspace. I can do that for you if you'd like. TNXMan 15:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Brilliant! I didn't realise that they could be reviewed by an editor prior to publishing, still new to Misplaced Pages and all it has to offer. Many thanks, I'll sort that out and get it to you ASAP.... :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by NorbCEO (talk • contribs) 15:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Zendesk
I have undone your speedy deletion of Zendesk. Both prod and speedy deletion had previously been declined and the page doesn't read like an ad. Certainly, the page is not a very good article, but that is b/c it has almost no content, not b/c it has ad content. More importantly, the subject does appear to be notable.
I've cleaned it up a bit & will try to expand it sometime his week.--ThaddeusB (talk) 15:18, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- OK, sounds good. TNXMan 15:23, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Leroy Cronin
Hi. You recently blocked Leroycronin (talk · contribs) and his sockpuppet account Roy Cronin (talk · contribs), both of which were used to vandalise the BLP Leroy Cronin. It seems he is back editing from 82.132.139.138. Should the IP also be blocked? Or perhaps the article would benefit from protection for a short while? I requested semi protection at WP:RPP yesterday but it was declined. Barret (talk) 17:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm. I only see one edit from this morning. If the IP persists, then a block is definitely in order. Let me know if it keeps up. Cheers! TNXMan 17:56, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- It looks like our friend is back as Alan Cronin (talk · contribs). Barret (talk) 21:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure that's a school-IP? Multiple tracers say it's a UK address, which would make it about 9:15 PM there. HalfShadow (talk) 21:14, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
- Schoolblock? I think Mentifisto may have marked it as a schoolblock, but I think mine is just a general anon block. Cheers! TNXMan 21:18, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Follow up up (6)
Hi Tnxman307: Thank you for your input on the articles. I will work on the article page in the near future, too much on my plate today. Just a question, once you deleted my other article page, is it gone forever or can you put it live again so I don't have to start at ground zero? Figured it was worth a shot to just edit the one I started last time. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. P.S. I may have another article, how does this work moving forward, do I just add it to the list on my article page with a link and they it is reviewed by someone at Wiki (I am assuming that if it's ok, it stays but what happens if you don't like it, does the entire DocuWare page go away or just the one listing? I appreciate your help to a newbie.24.39.153.124 (talk) 22:09, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Bob Flanagan
You apparently marked a picture for deletion on Bob Flanagan's page, and I was curious to how come?
I found the image and uploaded it, with what I assume was the correct manner and I did leave the source with where I found it. I have an email from the photographer saying it was okay to use it here and since it's a picture of Bob Flanagan and one not copy-righted, there is no fault with it.
If there is a problem with the way I submitted it, I would like to correct that so I can reassert the image, as it improves the page's quality significantly. I would love to work this out and help improve the page. I have been trying to do something for a while, but I seem to keep hitting failures.
Thank you for any helpNo Stahr (talk) 01:09, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
- It appears that you simply used the wrong license. The license you used indicated that the work is only permitted to be used on Misplaced Pages. Any free content uploaded to Misplaced Pages must (basically) be licensed to anyone to use for anything. If you review the directions at (http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-withpermission&wpUploadDescription={{Information%0A+%7CDescription++++=+%0A+%7CSource+++++++++=+%0A+%7CDate+++++++++++=+01:42), you'll see that Misplaced Pages needs information from the original copyright holder indicating this license. I hope this helps. TNXMan 01:45, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Nate Bynham
Ok, I just decided to add the prod tag. I just gotta ask though how does it not meet criteria for speedy deletion. All the article is is a one sentence description. It doesnt explain how he is notable whatsoever.--Yankees10 00:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- It doesn't meet A1, as it clearly establishes the context for the article. An A1 article would be something that consisted of "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh." It also doesn't really meet A7, as it least claims importance (not notability, which is a higher threshold). If you have questions about speedy deletion tags as you review pages, feel free to drop me a line and I'll be happy to help. TNXMan 00:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Ok thanks, I ask because a while back I remember when the speedy was added and all it was was a sentence that didnt establish notability, it would most likely be deleted. Did requirements change or something.--Yankees10 00:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Well, that's just it. An article doesn't have to establish notability to avoid speedy deletion, it simply has to make a claim of importance. That requirement has been in effect since I started here a couple of years ago. TNXMan 00:30, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Ok thanks, I ask because a while back I remember when the speedy was added and all it was was a sentence that didnt establish notability, it would most likely be deleted. Did requirements change or something.--Yankees10 00:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
The Sound of Speed (band) page deletion
Hi Tnxman307... The reason why it appears that some of the text in the sound of speed (band) posting is similar to the thestranger.com website is because I wrote both pages. Is there an issue of me using the same work for both? What is the process I need to follow to have my page reinstated? Thank you for your work -- Tim S Thesoundofspeed (talk) 01:46, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, we can't be sure that you are who you say you are. If you do own the copyright to the material, please follow the instructions set out on this page. Furthermore, it is apparent that you have a conflict of interest regarding the subject, which means you are highly discouraged from creating/editing articles that deal with the band. TNXMan 04:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
New article "Saarang"...
Hi, Tnxman... I would like to start a new page, "Saarang', the cultural festival of IIT Madras... Hope that's OK with you; it was a page which was previously deleted by you... Rkr1991 13:18, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- It should be OK, as long as it's written neutrally (no advertising or peacock terms) and has reliable sources that show why the event is notable. If you've never written an article before, you may find this info useful. TNXMan 14:12, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Block of LegacyRecords
I think a block was a little too harsh. I know that that type of user name inst allowed, but just going strait to a block is harsh. I mean he wasn't vandalizing yet.Accdude92 (talk to me!) (sign) 18:07, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
- I used the softest block available. The username was clearly the name of a company, which is not allowed. However, I have no problem unblocking the user if they would like to request a new username and agree not edit where they have a conflict of interest. TNXMan 18:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

i need someone to build up this page kelana seri angkasa in a rep. crew delegation Rafiqkie (talk) 01:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- You can write the article, but you should probably do it yourself in a sandbox (something like User:Rafiqkie/Sandbox). Please be sure to read our info on writing your first article and what makes a group notable enough for an article. TNXMan 01:22, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
its really good information, how about non-profit organization, no one know what is rovers scouting does in this day... i mean for wiki community...Rafiqkie (talk) 01:48, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

can i build up this page again with a same name?120.140.13.65 (talk) 14:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- I would suggest using a sandbox first, so you can improve the page before moving it to the mainspace. TNXMan 14:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
thank you! for cooperation...in that case anyone can review it first before posting the page?Rafiqkie (talk) 16:55, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Do not block 75.141.100.115
Do not block 75.141.100.115 because I might erase what message or comment you put on my talk page. I don't work on Charter Communications please don't put that company on my talk page because I don't work there. Say sorry TN X. please don't do that again or other wise user talk you will be locked I will not be blocked on Misplaced Pages. Thanks.

Project Kaiser deletion
Reason for first deletion was: Non-notable software, advertising Passportguy, Delete - no coverage about this software in reliable sources. Now article does have references and written unbiased, so not sure why you dropped it. German.lutoff (talk) 19:29, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- The "references" were just links to download pages. Haakon (talk) 19:31, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) The article was deleted because it was substantially identical to the version deleted in an articles for deletion discussion. If you would like to recreate the page, please do so in a sandbox first and ask another editor to review it before posting it to the mainspace. As it is, the article had no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. TNXMan 19:33, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
Software was tested in the Softpedia Labs why it is not independent source ? Same for 5 stars rate in Download3000. It was not paid for 5 stars rating, it was few years thorough development to get it. German.lutoff (talk) 19:48, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) I understand where you're coming from. However, I don't see how it's blatant advertising. Two or three sentences and an external link (which I'm about to remove) really doesn't qualify. I do agree, however, that it really doesn't belong here. TNXMan 19:40, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Promotional?
How would you want me to change this article to make it not promotional? I was trying to simply descibe what it does, without actually promoting it - more of a description of what the purpose of it is. Was it at the links at the bottom? Or were there other things that I should have changed? Please reply to me so i can fix the mistakes that i did.
thanks,

Kwesachu Vol.1
Per this, the article history shows that "the author of the only substantial content has requested deletion in good faith, either explicitly or by blanking the page" is exactly what happened. I42 (talk) 22:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that the author requested deletion, but I think the article has moved beyond the point where they can request deletion like that. There have been (albeit minor) contributions from other editors and the article appears notable enough. If I were to delete it, I would simply recreate as my own creation, so I just skipped all of the steps in between. TNXMan 22:07, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
- I have redir'd to the artist page per WP:NALBUMS, as I earlier did with the c&p move of this page at Kwesachu Mixtape Vol.1. I have nominated another mixtape by the same artist, Filthy Friends, for deletion. As you did not support deletion of Kwesachu Vol.1 you may feel likewise about Filthy Friends, and may want to comment on the AfD. I42 (talk) 22:12, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedily Deletion
"This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia."
I send you an essay explaining why Diego Jacobson is important and significant. He's the next Jackson Pollock!

Peter the Brave
I am unsure as to why this article was removed. The individual behind Peter the Brave has become a pop culture phenomenon in the Australian triathlon community, and meets criteria of an unusual individual under A7.

- The article was deleted because it did not indicate why the subject was notable. I should also tell you that if you have a conflict of interest regarding the subject, you are highly discouraged from creating/editing articles about the subject.

Gary William
I have never submitted anything to Misplaced Pages, and now seeing it as being quite harsh but understandable. I believe the person is notable and worthy that he should be on Misplaced Pages. Hes a famous psychic medium in the northeast region.
According to A7 - An article about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.
It states that maybe I need to put up more reliable sources to make it factual. What do you suggest? And also can I get a copy of the text on the page since it took me 3 hours to figure out how to enter it in Misplaced Pages code.
Thanks

Thanks Tnxman307. I was trying to put the reliable sources in the page and I had trouble doing it with the footnotes/references etc. Is there simplified explanation.
Thanks. Nwallin (talk) 15:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- You'll need to put the reference itself between a <ref> tag and a </ref> tag. In order for them to display, you'll need to add {{reflist}} at the bottom of the page. You can read more about them on this page. TNXMan 15:34, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey Tnxman307, I finished editing the page, and cited various sources on the page. How do I move it from my Sandbox to public view so you can screen it and see if any other changes I need to make. So the article can be credible, but I think I am getting the hang of the Misplaced Pages code.

Hey TnXman307, thanks for the help and stepping in. I always need a little in this realm. I took a look at that article, and I saw the changes that you made, thanks.

Hey TnXman307,
How many independent sources do you need to make an article significant coverage. Ill look for other sources to add to it if that would be better. Let me know what I have to do to make it happen and I will.
Thanks,
NW Nwallin (talk) 18:56, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, the sources themselves have to cover the subject in an in-depth manner. Two good sources the cover the subject in great detail would be enough. I guess the way to sum it up would be "quality, not quantity". TNXMan 20:57, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Hidden Villa
Why did you take down the page - I entered {{hangon}} and two notes - the first that CorenBot was in error, as I had permission from Hidden Villa (I visited them two days ago to get permission to put a page up for them) and the second that I had already started rewriting it, and adding additional material and references to avoid possible copyright violation of coyping from the hidden villa website. Moments later, it went down.
- First of all, we have no evidence at all that you contacted the website and have permission. If that is the case, you need to follow the instructions on this page. Secondly, the page was also blatantly advertising for Hidden Villa. I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article, as that may have info that can help you. TNXMan 22:29, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Because I just created the page this am, my first draft was heavily copied from their website which is why it looked like advertising. I have been rewriting it all day. Now I see that I should have started construction in the Sandbox. Can you please return the text to me as a Word doc or whatever means works best for you so that I can re-post it in the Sandbox and rework it. I've done many other pages now and know what advertising is. My email is <blanked> if that helps.

Reasoning
Hello Tnxman307, I don't think you understood my reason. This is not an excuse but a complaint that the user has been deleting the edit over and over. I demand that a third person to see it themselves and they will see the truth of it. Willbender (talk) 12:51, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Reasoning for what? TNXMan 12:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
The reasoning that the user is consistently ignoring the warnings and messages sent by deleting them rather than replying to my warnings. I don't want this to happen but if they don't talk to you and just send it back, they just don't want to make any attempt to resolve the matter. Willbender (talk) 12:56, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Can I also make the actual note? I saw the episode of Australia's Apprentice, Sam got fired, but User:Mybottomreallyhurts keeps editing that Gavin got fired and Eventus didn't win. Can you please help me with this edit issue? That user isn't willing to cooperate and I'm not used to dealing with editing conflicts. Willbender (talk) 13:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- If they keep adding incorrect information, even after being warned, then you can report them to AIV. I think that's the best way to handle it. TNXMan 13:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

PACE submission
Hi - I'm hoping you can send me the original file for the PACE submission that was deleted last week so that I may address some of the concerns you had with it and try to repost. Could you also possibly tell me specifically what you thought was too promotional?
Thanks. Siegelt (talk) 20:56, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable restoring the information, since it is almost entirely copied/pasted from this website. Misplaced Pages cannot accept such materials, as it is copyrighted. To see why it was considered promotional, please read our info on advertising, writing neutrally, and peacock terms. TNXMan 21:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I know. They are my client. I am posting it for them. Is there some proof you need from them that they would like this posted? Other than that, I can address the promotional issues if you can send me the original file.
Thanks, Siegelt (talk) 23:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- In that case, you have a conflict of interest, which means you shouldn't be posting it all. Misplaced Pages is not a place to promote organizations, either by posting the material from their website or by doing a write up for them. TNXMan 23:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
So, I can't even have a chance to "write an article on an area in which you are personally involved, be sure to write in a neutral tone and cite reliable, third-party published sources, and beware of unintentional bias." I don't need to write it in a biased way or use peacock terms, I would just like to post some basic information about them.
Thanks, Siegelt (talk) 23:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- Then I think the best place to go would be the articles for creation page. This will allow other editors to review the page before it's posted. TNXMan 23:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Australian Sailing Magazine wiki page - deletion
Hi I have reworked the ASM wiki page, making it as straight and factual as possible. I have also added some references. It truly is the only yacht racing magazine for all of Australia and therefore a notable publication. I hope the edits satisfies your stringent requirements!
Unfortunately the website has not been up for very long. It has just been accepted by Google News as a worthy news source and we're sorting out the xml sitemap now.
BTW Yaffa Publishing was established in 1928, one of the few major independent publishing houses in Australia. We publish 30 magazines (both consumer and trade). Some of our mags are very niche.

Query regarding block of 207.81.157.1
Hello. I was about to decline the block request for 207.81.157.1 (talk · contribs · logs · block log) but edit-conflicted with the bot that clears AIV. While investigating the report, I noticed that the IP had not edited since 16:26 yesterday. Additionally it looks like the IP obeyed the level-three warning issued to it at 16:27 yesterday because it has not vandalized since. However I have no idea why 18 hours later Harryzilber (talk · contribs) improperly issued another, escalated warning for the exact same edit from the previous day, and then reported the IP to AIV falsely claiming that the IP had vandalized after receiving a final warning . Since the IP appears to have been both inactive and improperly warned and reported to AIV, you may wish to review your block. Please note that I have already left a message for Harryzilber regarding his improper actions. Thank you for your time and consideration, — Kralizec! (talk) 15:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Block of Brews Ohare
Tnxman307, you wrote:
Decline reason: "I'm sorry, but the terms of your topic ban were clear. If you wish to be unblocked before the set expiration time of the block, you'll need to make a convincing argument that you did not violate the topic ban.
I think that Brews' did not violate his topic ban when interpreted reasonably. The topic ban means that Brews cannot participate in editing physics articles and participate in physics talk page disussions. I've made it clear a few times that this was unjustified, but that's my personal opinion. Brews must, of course, stick to his topic ban. Now, a problem with this topic ban is that physics is a huge field and that Brews is even banned from mentioning things even remotely connected to physics.
Under these circumstances, I would say that it is reasonable to not be overly pedantic. So, while Brews should not seek the boundaries of his topic ban by e.g. correcting a typo on a physics age, Brews should still be allowed to very briefly respond to a comment like he did here if he does his best to avoid to discuss any physics.
Now, Finell knows about Brews topic ban and he has been trying to convince Brews to make edits to articles and stay away from becomeing involved in Wiki policies. I am more positive about Brews being involved here, because I fear that Brews may leave Misplaced Pages altoghether if we tell him he can't do that eiter. Anyway, Finell, knowing about Brew's topic ban, decided to bring up the speed of light Arbcom case by commenting:
This proposed essay appears to be based on the unstated misconception that Misplaced Pages's policies, guidelines, and processes broke down in the Speed of light arbitration. It is understandable that editors who were sanctioned feel that way. Nevertheless, that case dealt appropriately with editors who were violating Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines and thereby disrupting the project of writing an encyclopedia. —Finell (talk) 17:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
If you are Brews and you want to deny this, how are you going to do that? If you are reasonable then you have to allow Brews some space, albeit it minimal, to very briefly in a few words address this and do that in such a way as to avoid discussing any physics. And that is exactly what he did. He did gave two links which were relevant to the issue at hand and he avoided discussing any physics.
So, I would say that Brews did his best to stay within the boundaries of his topic ban. If you were in his position, you would have wanted to give a more detailed reply, so clearly an effort was made on his part to not do that. And that's precisely the purpose of the topic ban.
Had Brews gone to a physics page and corrected a typo, then that would have been a deliberate action. He would have had the reasonable choice not to do that. So, while in a certain sense he would have made a smaller physics related edit, it would still have been a far more grave violation of his topic ban. Count Iblis (talk) 21:23, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- Your argument is very clear. However, Brews original unblock request looked like this. There's no substance to it beyond an accusation of unfairness. That was the only reason I declined the unblock: there was no argument of any substance. That said, the current unblock request is much more thorough and should be evaluated appropriately. I do not have time to do so now, but if the request is still up in a couple of hours, I will do so then. TNXMan 21:34, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
TrEeMaNsHoE unblock request
Hello Tnxman. You and I have both declined unblock requests from this editor. I don't see any forward progress in the discussion, so do you think it is now time to disable his Talk page access? (He has now opened his fifth request). He did say a few more things about the sockpuppetry, which is what you said in your own response that he needed to address.
