Deletion of Interbeing Facilitation System article
You recently deleted an article that I authored. I understand why and get that since the concept of interbeing facilitation systems is quite new and hasn't received attention from "reliable sources" that it is perhaps too new for inclusion in Misplaced Pages. Is there any way for me to get the text that I wrote back? I'd at least like to have a copy of what I wrote so that I can put it back up after adding in the relevant references to reliable sources. Thanks.

Scheiner Law Group
Hi Bearian. Can you tell me what happened to the edit history of Scheiner Law Group? It seems to have disappeared prior to your Sept 15 edit, but I don't know why. --Dr. Fleischman (talk)
- It was erased by another admin when the article was deleted. I can try to resurrect some of it from the dead. Bearian (talk) 19:04, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
- I restored the entire history, as you requested. Bearian (talk) 19:07, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
New York state elections
None of the election articles has any historical context info in the lede. These elections formerly happened every year, now every two years, independent of what was going on in the world. To date the election from some other event (for example, one year after the beginning of the big depression, twelve years after the construction of the Eiffel Tower, sixteen years after the death of President Washington) is in my opinion out of scope. Major events may be added in the Background (in older articles called "History") section, if they had a direct influence (explain why) in the election. Kraxler (talk) 13:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

A question
Hello dear Bearian. I have a question - did you see this (?) - http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/09/06/its-official-president-obama-is-the-best-economic-president-in-modern-times/ . It is based on Forbes's report. Does this information worth to be written in the Barack Obama article or no? Thanks in advance for your opinion. M.Karelin (talk) 19:50, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
- No. First off, the source and the source it is based on are unreliable and opinion-laded. Secondly, the main Obama article is so long that nothing more can be added without splitting it further. Bearian (talk) 16:04, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
AfD comment
Your paraphrase of Winston Churchill's "riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" quote had me laughing out loud. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:52, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
- You are welcome. I think it livened up a contentious discussion. Bearian (talk) 01:07, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Bearian: Yes, and you managed not to get called out for being a lawyer-editor, even as you expressed essentially the same arguments and concerns I did. If I could go back in time five and a half years, I would almost certainly choose a different user name. Cheers, counselor. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:57, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sigh. It's sort of the opposite of the situation of the Turkish astronomer who discovers The Little Prince's asteroid: "But he was in Turkish costume, and so nobody would believe what he said." Bearian (talk) 12:45, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- That's an appropriate, if somewhat obscure metaphor. Or, if you're feeling biblical: "For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country." John 4:44 (KJV) Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 13:31, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

- Becky Sayles, a speech by a United States politician seems to get its own article, but one by a leader elsewhere in the world tends to get deleted.

Deletion discussion about Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Nevada
Hello, Bearian,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether it should be deleted. Your comments are welcome.
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE9A:860:DD6B:693A:ACF:B874 (talk) 18:46, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

PROD vs Redirect
I stumbled on this thread by pure coincidence and I saw you didn't really get a direct reply. DePRODing to create a redirect is perfectly legitimate. I do it all the time if it's appropriate. Our actual deletion policy leans towards being inclusive and recommends redirecting rather than outright deletion. If you create such a redirect however, do remember to include the :R from...' template on the redirect page so that it loads the correct message and populates the related cat. For example, a school redirect would have this template {{R from school}} which creates a message for anyone who sees the redirect rather than the target page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:38, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Lazurus999
I suspect (well, based on what he said on my talk page, I know for sure) that User:Lazurus999, whom you just blocked, is a sockpuppet of User:Wikiblanks. Wikiblanks was blocked yesterday for edit warring, then blocked again about 2 hours later for continuing the edit war with the sockpuppet User:Childprotect1 (report). Is it worth filing another sockpuppet report for Lazarus999 and Wikiblanks? Given the comments Wikiblanks made on his own talk page shortly after you blocked Lazurus999, I think it's unlikely Wikiblanks won't send me more legal threats/insults or make more sockpuppets.

Woodson museum
Thanks for explaining your rationale carefully; I've prodded a lot of this user's edited-too-much-for-G5 stubs, basically just to get rid of ones that didn't appear to have a shred of notability, regardless of their topic. I'm much more in favor of redirecting than deleting, but when possible: as I explained when nominating the article for deletion just now, I don't see a good target.

- FWIW, I indef-blocked this user. Bearian (talk) 14:09, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- You want to know how I managed to evade your blocking? Let me reason with you, do you like it if your father doing something on the internet, your father gets blocked unjustly and indefinitely without mercy and second chance? Do you like it if your mother doing something on the internet, your mother gets blocked unjustly and indefinitely? Do you like it if you sons or daughter get blocked unjustly and indefinitely just because of petty issues? If I am an admin and you are ordinary user, do you like it if I blocked you unjustly and indefinitely without a chance to change just because of petty issues? Just be in my shoes and see what happen if I do the same thing as you do towards me... Also, I am just creating an article to contribute to the wikipedia, and, all of a sudden you sent me a message of warning of vandalism. How can a wikipedian user who create a probable reasonable article doing a vandalism and even being blocked unjustly and indefinitely just because to advice you? Think about it...

Frozen
I'm contacting you because you were the last admin to edit the protection settings on Frozen (2013 film). Recently (last month or so) the page has suffered consistent vandalism and incompetent edits while only one IP edit has been accepted. Would another period of semi-protection be appropriate, so interest and so unconstructive edits might begin to wear off? BethNaught (talk) 22:07, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
- Semi-protected for a period of 1 month, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Bearian (talk) 22:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

- Where do you see 3 reverts in less than 24 hours ???
- I've added information on the 19 November
- It was deleted on the 7 December
- I restored it on the 8 December
- It was deleted on the 8 December
- End of the strory.
- You're threating me in an aggressive manner on the 11 December...
- It is sad that Misplaced Pages admins don't know how to count up to three, as I only revert it once. Blaue Max (talk) 18:13, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
- I saw those two reverts, to which you have admitted. I was warning you from doing it three times. I only warned you that you could face sanctions if you did it a third time. I noted, as well, that you've been called out before about your past edit warring. I didn't want to template you, but the next time, I'll be forced to do so, since you don't seem to comprehend subtle hints. Bearian (talk) 20:18, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Pardon my interjection/interruption. While the WP:3RR provides a bright line, WP:Edit warring is more comprehensive and extends beyond 24 hours. I am passing no judgments here, but think that 'all the guns should be out on the table.' Happy editing to you both. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:27, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

- I did just one revert !!! Where do you see that I admit two reverts ??? The edit of the 19 November was new information brought by me, not a revert... You should think and comprehend a situation before acting unsubtly. I guess waiting for apologies is pointless...

Disambiguation link notification for December 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A Little Respect, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Neil Francis. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
