Speedy deletion decline

Can you expand on your speedy deletion decline of Category:Museums established in 1840? How is it exempt from WP:CSD#C1? 70.150.94.194 (talk) 15:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

• If you are too busy to respond, I'd be happy to bring this to WP:AN/I instead. 70.150.94.194 (talk) 18:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
  • That sort of sounds like a threat. --King Öomie 18:26, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
    • I'd just like an explaination, and it appears as if he is too busy to give one even though he has made hundreds of edits since my first request. Is AN/I not the place to request such an explaination in absence of a response from the declining admin? I'd be happy to go elsewhere if there is a more appropriate venue. 70.150.94.194 (talk) 18:39, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
      • It sounded like a threat, in fact, because AN/I is generally for incidents involving edit warring or misconduct, as opposed to requesting a second opinion on a speedy. If you make a genuine attempt to contact a closing admin (which you have), it's not considered forum shopping to ask again from someone else. Post a request for a third opinion, or post the category to CFD. --King Öomie 18:48, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Keysvolume is reverting admin made changes on semi protected pages

user -Keysvolume is making reverts of admin made changes, one of them done by you, on - http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Naxalite&action=history - here he made changes after you reverted vandalism done by one user Mehrrunnissa, who is currently blocked and is being investigated for using sockpuppets.

This user is also vandalizing my talk page, indicating that I am a sockpuppet, which he knows is untrue, as I have been cleared off being a sockpuppet. I asked him to stop, and warned that I would report him for vandalism, he did not stop. He also has gone ahead to make reverts of another admin made changes on page - http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Salwa_Judum&action=history - here he reverted to his own version after Someguy121 did the same as above.

Please note, both these pages are under semi-protection and were vandalised by Mehrrunnissa, who being blocked cannot undo the changes. Keysvolume is now doing it instead. He is defying community rules of addressing the issue in the talk page instead of reverting a semi protected page. I also found out that these two users are under investigation for being sockpuppets.

Thanks, Oftenhurry (talk) 20:15, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, I looked through Keysvolume's contribs and reverted any vandalism that wasn't already undone. I also left s/he a

Good Morning. Please note that you have been deceived by USer:Oftenhurry into blanking content from Neofascism and religion that I placed based on WP:Notable commentary.User:Oftenhurry has been placing far-left content on numerous Naxalite-related articles based on claims made by an Unreliable Source that is known for making anti-Semitic claims and perorations (see my post for details, as well as this post by Jeff G ). I am a long-established editor with many edits to my name. Please avoid editing on behalf of sock puppets in future, thanks and cheers.Keysvolume (talk) 06:40, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Also, please explain to me which wikipedia policy allows the promotion of the conspiracy theory that the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits is a "lie concocted by the Indian government" (compare your edits to the article Kashmiri Pandits).Keysvolume (talk) 06:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Fastily, I am really sorry to have this silly altercation over in your talk page, but this user Keysvolume has been making bogus claims and lying left and right. Please let me expose him point by point. You can undo this later, if you like. Thanks for your help.

Claim 1 by Keysvolume - .User:Oftenhurry has been placing far-left content on numerous Naxalite-related articles based on claims made by an Unreliable Source numerous Naxalite-related articles? Please prove. The only one that is Naxalite related that I edited is the Salwa Judum page. One is numerous? Lie 1 Claim 2 by Keysvolume - deceived by USer:Oftenhurry into blanking content from Neofascism and religion that I placed based on WP:Notable huh? what neofascism and religion have I entered and where? Lie 2 Claim 3 by Keysvolume - based on claims made by an Unreliable Source that is known for making anti-Semitic claims and perorations Please prove. The links you gave to JeffG's page are written by completely different people - it is not by Ramchandra Guha. You think nobody would check the references so you can put any mumbo jumbo and people would buy it. Lie 3 Claim 4 by Keysvolume - Please avoid editing on behalf of sock puppets in future Prove that I am a sockpuppet. You asked for investigation, I was cleared, if you still keep calling me a sockpuppet, you are a liar.

You are a liar the 4th time in a paragraph of 5 sentences. That shows your editing history and I am becoming more and more clear about where wikipedia stands with such "long established" editors. I for one surely would not base any of my research on Wiki ever again. I will advice others too to do the same citing these examples. Oftenhurry (talk) 14:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Gracefaithme

I really must protest your indef block of Gracefaithme. A block may be justified, but indef for what is essentially a false report is excessive. If you look at the edits to Carolyn Joyce Carty, you'll notice that most of them are clumsy attempts to improve the article. This edit can hardly be called vandalism as it only removed redlinks. Likewise this edit is his/her attempt to change a reference that s/he added. And unfortunately, Jeff G. has a history of labeling stuff vandalism that isn't and filing false reports. I should know - I've been a victim of his overzealousness. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 06:50, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Forum shopping again?   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:57, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Keysvolume - vandalising again!!

This is getting out of hand and beyond any appearance of civility. User Keysvolume - http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/Keysvolume is reverting back on his talk page warning issued by you and is putting sockpuppetry charge on my page, when he has been repeatedly told that I have been cleared off any charge. He has done this on my page three times. No amount of warning and reasoning is working. What am I supposed to do? Why isn't he being blocked for slandering others when his charges have been proved to be wrong. Thank you for your help! Oftenhurry (talk) 17:48, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review for Endgame (2007 film)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Endgame (2007 film). Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. I'm making the nomination on behalf of a new editor, because I'm not sure it still meets G11. Please comment at the DRV— Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:57, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

File:TannadicePark-1923.jpg

Another editor tagged an old British photo acquired from an archive, File:TannadicePark-1923.jpg, for speedy deletion and you deleted it. I suspect that the image had fallen into the public domain and the archive therefore had no right to claim copyright on it. But if the photographer of the 1923 photograph was known and still alive in 1934, copyright would still exist. -- Eastmain (talk) 21:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Help Please?

I noticed you deleted one of my articles. I am new and I'm sorry if I violated any terms with that article. I o have a question though. Recently I created an article under my own name/the person im writing about, but I am having trouble uploading or putting in pictures. How can I add in pictures? I wish to use external sources, they are under my copyright, no problems in that area. Thank you.

Well...

Around the same time you warned Sdgdsfsdg (talk · contribs), I blocked him. Instead of an edit conflict, I guess this would be called an "admin action conflict." Oh well... Willking1979 (talk) 22:38, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Moving a Page

I have already read on how to move a page, and I believe that my account is not yet auto confirmed. I also read that an adminstrator can move a page, would it be to much to ask for your assistance in doing this?

My F7 candidates from earlier

File:White-tiger-ranger.jpg is not not a TV screenshot. Also, a bunch of the other images were missing tags (which you added the other deletion tag for). I also see that JDC808 (talk · contribs) has a history of uploading images without copyright tags.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 01:13, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Crittenton Women's Union

Hi, Fastily,

I'm attempting to re-create a page that was taken down for Crittenton Women's Union. The reason cited for its deletion is "G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion." How can I create a new page that follows your guidelines?

See this Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files/2009 October 19#File:Surge Arrestor 716 Connector.jpg.

Delta II Mobile-QWERTY Keypad Matrix

Not sure why this entry was deleted. The entry is not unlike similar entries, such as Frogpad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Usability1 (talk • contribs) 02:46, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Ashford.com

Ashford.com is a 12 year old company not a .com start-up, they are one of the oldest online retailers and as a result I feel they are justified to exist as a Misplaced Pages entry. The fact that Amazon was one of the first companies to invest in them and the fact they were among the very first companies to participate in Microsoft's eWallet technology I feel meets notability standards. They have been publicly traded and are one of the largest online watch retailers in the world by total sales distributing watches to Costco, Sam's Club and a variety other large retailers.

Nowhere am I linking to a discussion,

one is a cnet article: http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/hardware/0,39042972,13022432,00.htm

the other is a press release: http://www.gsicommerce.com/index.php/en/article/628/

As for the Chevy-volt and Giggle, those entries were spaced about a year apart and have no impact on this content, I am not sure why you are alluding to them. Furthermore, I am not clear on why you are acting in such a negative capacity rather than providing suggestions as to how to improve the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seyoda (talk • contribs) 02:51, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I have done my best to strip out any kind of "promotional" or spamlike content. My highlighting of larger business deals are meant to satisfy the notability requirement, I think they may have been misconstrued as promotional.

Here is the updated content, please let me know if you feel I have addressed your concerns. Thanks Seyoda (talk) 03:26, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Ashford.com is an online retailer of luxury watches and luxury goods. They are among the oldest online retailers with an initial launch in January of 1997.

History

Ashford.com is an online retailer that went online in 1999, in Houston, TX under the guidance of Rob Shaw. In 1999, the company was listed on NASDAQ under the symbol ASFD and underwritten by Goldman Sachs. At launch, the site featured Microsoft’s E-Wallet technology alongside Dell, CDW, SkyMall and a handful of other participants. In 1999, Ashford entered into a partnership with Amazon.com giving Amazon approximately 16.6% of Ashford.com's outstanding common stock . Around this same time they acquired Timezone.com. In 2000, Ashford acquired a 25,000,000 three year loan from Congress Financial Corporation which it used to acquire Jasmin.com. In 2001, they acquired Guild.com, Watchnetwork.com and renewed their partnership with Amazon.com as well as entering into an agreement with eBay to sell outlet watches. In September 2001, Ashford was acquired by ecommerce service provider GSI Commerce (formerly Global Sports). Years later in 2003, it was sold to Odimo Inc. who then sold it to the current owner Luxi Group in 2007.

Collection

Currently, Ashford carriers watches and luxury items from Cartier, Movado, Breitling, Baum & Mercier, Ebel, Corum, Rado, International Watch Company (IWC) and other luxury watch brands

quicksmart logo

Hi Fastily,

I think I may have put the wrong information on an image (Quicksmartlogo.png) I uploaded that you have questioned. But, I am a newbie and I can't figure out how to change the information or how to fix the problem.

I was going to delete the image, but I see that isn't a simple process. I understand this now as images are considered as openly usable when placed on wikipedia, just as text content is.

The image is a copyrighted image, but I have been given permission by the owners to use it in wikipedia to go with the article I am working on. In fact, the owners really want it to be used in the article. Am I able to put it in the article without going against wikipedia rules? If so, what do I need to say when I upload it so that it is clear I have permission? Also, what do I do about the existing image? Can I alter it's information so that it is accurate, or do I need to put a new one up? If the latter, how do I get rid of the old one?

I would very much appreciate your help with this. I have searched around quite a bit on wikipedia since your talk message, and I am still having trouble figuring all of this out.

Thanks,

Soft Redirects on Images

Hey Fastily, thanks so much for removing these soft redirects. I note that 1) you've done this on several (or all) of my image uploads, and 2) you're busy in real life.

So to help both of us out, what am I doing that makes these into a soft redirect? There's probably a tag in the edit window I should remove. I'm totally new at this, so anything that helps would be appreciated!

My steps:

1. I upload a file, put the "fair use" tag in the summary
2. I "edit" the summary and insert the WP:FUR literature
3. Along the way, a soft redirect appears. I've seen them there, and I don't even know what a soft redirect purpose is.

Thanks! – Kerαunoςcopia 07:16, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
