Undeleting article on Canadian Actress Niamh Wilson

Hi Lectonar, I'd like to try and reinstate the article on actress Niamh Wilson , , , ,, , . I suspect it was deleted because of copying verbatim from IMDb. I'd like to fix the article to present it in an acceptable format.Elleayejay (talk) 18:35, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Userfication request - Hortax - the Horticultural Taxonomy Group

Hi Lectonar!
This was my "Contested deletion" comment on the talk page: Talk:Hortax - the Horticultural Taxonomy Group

While this started as an unambiguous cut and paste from various pages from the http://www.hortax.org.uk/index.html websites , it would not appear to be unambiguously promotional, just a rather somewhat ill-advised but good faith attempt at creating a Misplaced Pages article. I've chopped out the offending text. I would suggest that WP:A7 may be a better CSD criterion, though I will be working on the article to avoid that.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:44, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

I suggest you may possibly have read the version that was an unambiguous copyvio. The choice to WP:USERFY is of course, yours, and I will abide by whatever decision you make.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:56, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Health Asset Management Inc.

Our article Health Asset Management Inc was nominated for speedy deletion under (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content): G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)

We are trying to make it conform with the wikipedia guidelines and policies and we believe we have a lot to improve.

We would appreciate it much if you could kindly help us make it better.

Hello Lectonar,

Under the Hebrew definition of a "copywriter"here i have uploaded this picture File:Http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8024/42967923377993581267993.jpg' it is a photograph of a Hebrew copywriter.

i was informed it was deleted for vandalizing, or something of that nature. I don't see the reason why?.

Hi, I hope that you did take your time to actually read what I have written about the Cif2.net subject. I know that you are busy and I ask you kindly to take your time properly with every article, or if you think that the topic bores you, at least leave it to someone who actually cares.

I am waiting your reply and please tell me what you think I have omitted in the article I've written. Misplaced Pages is about gathering information, not about deleting it.

Deletion of Maharaja Agrasen College, Jagadhri

Dear administrator, i myself rewrote the whole article a few hours ago from the beginning. You may have deleted it because of the tag. But you can check that it was well within the rules and regulations of wikipedia. In the rewritten article one couldn't even find a hint of advertising. I request very hopefully to you to undelete the article respecting my hard work done in re-editing that article.Garvit (talk) 11:16, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Confusing selective deletion, apparent lack of response to queries about your administrative actions

I'm confused as to why you have today selectively deleted two queries from users from your talk page history: . Could you explain why these edits have been deleted from your talk page history? These seem to be good faith queries from users who are inquiring about your administrative actions.

On a related note: looking through your talk page history, there have been many queries from users about your actions, and most seem to have gone without reply. Please remember that, as administrators, we are bound by policy to respond "promptly and civilly to queries about their Misplaced Pages-related conduct and administrator actions and to justify them when needed." –xeno 15:49, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Request.

Hey Lectonar.
I didn't know which Administration department to request this to, but is it possible to request some edits be suppressed for protection?
I want the edits of User:BrianaSomers123 for putting too much personal information on their userpage.

Thanks. --Abigail was here :D _{Talk to Me.} _{Email Me.} 21:08, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

welcome the decline of wikipedia - scholarpedia will do better

I want to correct my reply to your question. After all, I welcome the decline of wikipedia, as it will make room for scholarpedia.

it is not about any lack of deference to scholars felt in WP, quite the contrary: editors revere expert opinion and "secondary sources" too much. With scholarpedia, there is the guarantee of good editors (Nobel prizes, etc..).

I did not ask for that much. A teenager enforcing normal rules (give priority to verifiable evidence over expert opinion) would have been enough to keep me on WP.

Maybe this division is unavoidable: quality content on SP, poor content on WP.

SP is a peer-reviewed "secondary source", quotable in WP. But will there remain someone on WP to quote it properly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dynsys (talk • contribs) 23:13, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Feedback on templates

Hi there,

I was speaking of infoboxes and templates in general, having none specifically in mind but rather they excessive sprinkling throughout the site. I just realized however that it is not as invasive here as on the French one (my port of call, so to speak; I only came here to steal the code for the picture of Beef Stroganoff), where they literally use templates for anything (even dates or not-so-large (>100) numbers) - but then these guys didn't offer me the chance to complain about it! But then even on the English version I would find that seeing the box code first thing when I open a page for edition is kind of a deal breaker.

Thanks anyway for the quick reply, much appreciated. I see someone already gave you a bunch of barnstars for that: keep up the good work!

Best regards, Karl Vatel (talk) 14:52, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

PS: since I'm at it, I should say I also have a hard time understanding why editing is in Times New Roman while articles are in Arial or Helvetica (sans serif). Just sayin' ;-)

Game-Debate help!

Hi Lectonar. I have no idea who you are or if you are an admin but since you were gracious enough to reply to my feedback, I'd like to ask for your help. I have been updating the Game-Debate page on my spare time but the users have nominated it again for deletion due to insufficient information. I don't want to sound impolite, so I will ask it smoothly but: is that some kind of joke? I am still updating the page or does a page need to be done wholly? Is that it?

Anyway, I want to upload the logo of GD to wikipedia's image list but I am having trouble. The site owner gave me permission to do so but if I select that option a speedy deletion appears. Some of the warnings that show are really annoying and leave you with no other option but to forget about this and just leave. I will not give up so easily though.

Thank you for your attention, Paulo Proença (talk) 15:03, 01 February 2012 (UTC)

User AzseicsoK

Thanks for your reply. I'm having to respond as an IP User. I posted the question by way of a link at the top of the page--something about commenting on editing experience. Apart from that, when I log in, I suddenly have nothing by way of a search box or the options normally at the top of the page. I can't even log out; I have to get off the Internet completely. It happened suddenly, when I was playing with Userboxes. BTW, I too can get to my User Page--as in IP User. It does seem that I can get messages on my User Page. That's where I saw yours. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.147.236.195 (talk) 15:51, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

The problem somehow solved itself. First, I discovered that I did seem to have the necessary links; they were just sort of scattered and mish-mashed on top of itself at the bottom of the page. Second, I found out that after I created my account yesterday, my email had been putting the confirmation messages from Misplaced Pages into my spam box. I got them and acknowledged them; the problem was still there. But now, I come back a couple of hours later, and everything seems to be where it's supposed to be.

Now, I'll see if this signature feature works the way it's supposed to. Uporządnicki (talk) 18:30, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Kindergarten.com

While I sincerely appreciate your counsel, I would respectfully ask you to remove the speedy deletion flag from Kindergarten.com and allow the link to live naturally and let users respond, exactly the way it is. There is no shameless promotion going on here. This is a standalone stub relating to a popular culture altruistic entity - and has been featured in relevant news articles including 60 minutes, with references provided.. There is just a limited wire-frame of information with supporting data included. There is no shameless self promotion afoot here.

Help with userfication

Hi Lectonar,

I was wondering if you would consider userfying a deleted page for me. The page was located at http://en.wikipedia.org/Fournote It was deleted according to the G11 and G12 criteria. My goal in userfying this page is to work on a revision and attempt a restoration that will be a part of an ongoing series of assignments that I'm completing for an Advanced Composition English class. This particular assignment involves encouraging an awareness of how Misplaced Pages works, how to improve it, and -- especially -- how to recognize articles that do not comply with Misplaced Pages guidelines.

Re- directing articles

Hi, lectonar, Thank you for your motivational message(On giving my feedback). However i have a simple question on how to redirect the articles. I have been expanding the phrynoderma article, which is also called Hypovitaminosis A and also Follicular Hyperkeratosis. When i search for Focullar hyperkeratosis, it takes me to the page where there is a articles about the whole keratosis. But i want to re-direct the follicular keratosis page to phrynoderma.

Here's the map/tree for you to understand. Hypovitaminosis --> Phrynoderma

    "          <---  "

Now when people search follicular keratosis, i want it to be re-directed to phrynoderma or hypervitaminosis which are same. And also, please edit the phrynoderma article for spelling and grammatical mistakes because i'm just 16 from India and iam not experienced in writing. If you get ample time, could you please fix the reference link on the article.

In response to your feedback from Archbishop Martin Pius Kelly

I am sorry to raise this with you, but per your message on User_talk:Archbishop martin pius kelly, there is an Archbishop by this name. He's a tridentine leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland, based in Leinster, Ireland. If he really is this person, that'd be great. Obviously the impersonation block however has gotta stick for now, since we don't have a clue. BarkingFish 16:51, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Maurice Dantes

Dear Lectonar, thank you for taking a look at my article - it is my first one here. I changed the version on my userpage and therefore it would be great if you could review it one more time. About the pictures that have been used - I want to ask the person who was taking them and the person that is shown for permission to use. Maybe they offer these pictures to wikicommons theirselves.

Speedy deletion

Many thanks for your answer. I understand there can be a conflict of interest in my message with the use of "our" but the article that was created was very neutral and informative explaining who is EPF. Could you please therefore explain me what needs to be modified in the article to avoid any advertisement which is absolutely not the aim of the article? The aim is to have an informative page such as Alzheimer Europe has or European Parkinson's Disease Association so that patients in Europe arrive on this page when they are looking for information about healthcare at EU level.

Jean-Joseph Chapuis

Hi. I'm unhappy with your removal of Jean-Joseph Chapuis from Misplaced Pages:Pages needing translation into English. I would have thought that the standard of writing needs to be brought at least to the point that a copy editor could work on the article without knowing the original language. In the current version of the article, we find, just for a short example: "The lower body is made of a mobile party which comes, with the aid of a big ring of gold copper crossed in the face of a lion forward, sliding in a fixed frame adorned with two commanded scabbards of suckle female bronzy skated." That looks like gobbledygook to me. Would you restore the request, please? Regards, --Stfg (talk) 13:25, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I think it's a machine translation. But that's not good enough for an encyclopedia, is it? If a human can understand it, we can copy edit, but if we can't even understand it, we need better translation, n'est-ce pas? (Please reply here to keep threading. I watchlist.) --Stfg (talk) 14:09, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Vous avez raison :). J'oserai même dire que les traductions par machine sont presque inusables. Actually, machine translations make articles worse (and no, it is not good enough for an article); that is why I removed the part you alluded to. The rest may stand. If you still think you want the template back on the article, feel free. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 14:17, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Paoli Dam article disruptive edits

Thanks for protecting the page, though I don't think protecting it for 3 days will be very helpful. In the first week of this month, I corrected few formatting errors in that article and replied to a post in talk page (discussion can be found in talk page). Right after that I got a high tone message in my talk page where that editor told some irrelevant things like he knows the actress, he has met her, his daughter was subject's school friend, he is professionally attached to the film industry. I d(id/o)n't know if these are really important in Misplaced Pages editing. In the message in my talk page, he told, he does not sign in to that account unless it is necessary. He is using a dynamic IP address, that's why we have lost enthusiasm to warn new IPs everytime. I am not sure 1) if it is good ground to warn the registered account because he has told in my talk page that he edits anonymously 2) the (anonymous) edits look like WP:DUCK. About the content he is adding, I completely dislike the hysterical saucy tone (and specially use of wordpress blog ref in support)! Thanks for protecting the page once again. Hope you'll help to find a permanent/long-lasting solution. You can find a similar discussion in Paoli Dam article's talk page. With my good wishes, Tito Dutta ✉ 13:56, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

I think the 3 days should have a kind of dampening effect; we will see. If the edits do persist, just ping me and I will prolong the protection (or go to WP:RFPP again, as I do not work om weekends:)) Lectonar (talk) 14:00, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Ah I was waiting for a new message banner at top of page per you talk page notice above. Alright! I'll follow it. With my good wishes --Tito Dutta ✉ 14:06, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, have to change that. I think I put it on about 6 years ago. Sorry again. Lectonar (talk) 14:08, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Ah, okay! No problem! --Tito Dutta ✉ 14:13, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

They are back! They are adding those portions again in both Mushrooms (film) and Paoli Dam. In Paoli Dam article I have already reverted twice. I have to to be careful about 3RR. --Tito Dutta ✉ 04:44, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Silly, funny feedback

I have posted new feedback here --Tito Dutta ✉ 14:13, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Already saw it and replied there. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 14:14, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Please can you confirm me as a user

hello Although i have been editing Misplaced Pages for a long time i did not knew about the process of protected and semi-protected article.Because i have never faced a page. But recently i faced it. So i registered and still i need to to be confirmed as a user. So i am asking you if you can confirm me as a user. I know i will be auto confirmed after 4 days and ten edits but until then i might forget or feel lazy to do it.So please approve me. --Nibir2011 (talk) 11:50, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry but no; you will be confirmed automatically after 4 days and 10 edits. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 12:05, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

RFPP: Khokhar

Hi, you have declined temporary semi-protection of Khokhar, despite my advice to the IP (who is socking) going unheeded and despite the clear evidence of disruption over a prolonged period and a previous semi for socking. Furthermore, the article is subject to discretionary sanctions. Do you have any objection to me appealing directly to some other admin? I've never yet had a request at RFPP rejected and I am somewhat bemused that this one has been. - Sitush (talk) 15:31, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Of course, feel free; you may even repeat the request for protection. Lectonar (talk) 07:05, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, and sorry for the delay in acknowledging - I have been away for a few days. In my absence, The Blade of the Northern Lights semi-protected it until February 2013. - Sitush (talk) 16:55, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks a lot for the encouragement. :) Christbearer_Wolfsbane 18:46, 24 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christbearer Wolfsbane (talk • contribs)

Zaytuna Farm

You originally deleted the Zaytuna Farm page and I was wondering if it could be re-instated as I believe it is a useful page about an educational venture that meeds wikipedia guidelines. I am happy to update what I can and am sure others would too.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plmoknqwerty (talk • contribs) 00:42, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

The article from 2009 was in essence only a 1-liner, describing the subject of the article. So let's do it the other way round: see WP:Yourfirstarticle, and follow the guidelines there to create an article in your sandbox. Lectonar (talk) 06:36, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the recognition. The Feedback Responder is such a great tool to connect with new editors. :) I, Jethrobot (note: not a bot!) 07:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Paoli Dam 2

Continued from here, could you please have a look at Talk:Paoli Dam? --Tito Dutta ✉ 22:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I have protected for another 2 weeks. Lectonar (talk) 07:06, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I am getting seriously disturbed by the acts in these two articles. I have lots of other works (like collecting sources in the article NML Cygni, largest known star), I can not waste time here by clarifying things again an again.

Trying to summarize the whole issue it is a two way problem. Paoli Dam has done some scenes in the film Chatrak (film).

One group of editors (anonymous editor) are trying sensationalize the portion by giving every minute details of those scenes with some wordpess reference, wrong formatting etc.
Second group of editor are disliking the mention of anything in the article, And they are removing almost everything from the article.

In talk page we tried to reach a consensus that we'll not write in a hysterical erotic tone (what editor group 1 are doing) and then we made a summary of the portion with good references. Now editor group 2 is removing that summarized that portion too. In such situation editor group 1 is again adding the hysterical portion since there is nothing in the article. Then we are back to starting point again with removing unencyclopedic, hysterical portion and summarizing etc! That is creating a circle! --Tito Dutta ✉ 20:09, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, at the moment I have no time for this (very busy in real life). You should perhaps try dispute resolution. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 13:46, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
