Hello! Please leave a message at the bottom of the page. Also: Please note that I do a lot of new pages patrolling. If I've deleted your work and you have a concern, I'll gladly discuss the issue. Abusive posts will be ignored and subsequently rolled back, so please keep it civil. Thanks!

Uster talk:Emudrumline

My page for Eastside Fury Percussion Ensemble was deleted. I removed the requested materials by User:Lucky 6.9 in regards to instructor bios. The remaining content is specifically for providing additional information to a subcategory of the Winter Gurad International page. See Independent World Percussion. I think I sumbitted the deletion review right?

Uster talk:AdamHealton

Hey. I guess I wasn't shocked to find that A wiki article I wrote about my music project was deleted. However, I'm not sure your grounds for destroying what I'd worked on today justifiable. You called it vandalsim, but gave no reason for doing so. I thought the point of website was to provide information and when I tried to do so this happened. Anyways, I'm not sure if this is the area where complaints are voiced but since I couldnt find any other place to do so, I figured this would work.

User talk:AsteroidAnaconda

Hey, there. This user's made a very apologetic post to unblock-en-l, and has promised to avoid reposting any such content, in the future. Consensus there seems to be that he fit more into the "unfortunate newcomer" category than into that of the truly malicious users, and that given his apology, we might unblock or reduce the duration from indefinite. Would you have any objections? Luna Santin 01:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

openness to experience

I see that you deleted openness to experience and protected the page so it could not be recreated. I don't know what the history on this is, and I imagine it could have gotten political at some point, but I assure you that openness is an important psychological concept and instrumental to understanding the big five theory of personality. Regulate or lock the site if you must, but we need to have an entry for this! Jcbutler 21:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I have written a justification for the undeletion of openness to experience on the openness talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Openness_to_experience

Thank you, Jcbutler 20:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for undeleting the entry. Now I guess I have to write it... ;)

Why does Keep San Antonio Lame keep getting deleted?

Its a real movement. I have documented it in no less than four reliable published sources: Texas Public Radio, San Antonio Current, San Antonio Express-News and MySpace. I think this is some kind of plot to censor articles about San Antonio because of a regional prejudice. I want to know why Keep San Antonio Lame is deleted and Keep Austin Weird is allowed to stay up.

Adding this on. I really want to know why. I see no reason why KSAL is any less legitimate than Keep Austin Weird. The Keep Austin Weird page even goes so far as to describe local "weird" people. How is that more reliable?

I was originally told that KSAL was deleted because it lacked reliable sourcing. MySpace notwithstanding my other sources are public radio and two different local newspapers. Isn't that good enough?

Underground Football League (A very legitimate site) is constantly deleted

Twice now I have tried to create a page about the Underground Football League and twice you have deleted it for now apparent reason other than it being "inappropriate" everything on the site was 100% factual and legitimate, there was nothing crude or vulgar or "inappropriate" anywhere on the page and you could cross reference everything on the page with the UFL's website (which i am the creater/owner/operator of). So yeah if you could give me a real reason (as in not a vague one) and ways to keep the page from being deleted in the future that would be appreciated.

Cody Tries

I have started working on this page and you keep deleting it for some reason. It is about a movie released in 2004. You let other movies be entered on this site and I don't understand why you won't allow this one.

UFL

Perl Object-Oriented Persistence << there's a worldwide audience for that? Why hasn't this been deleted? I fail to see it's worldwide appeal and marketability. I would be curious to see the number of hits this has generated and then leaving a UFL page up for a similar amount of time and checking its hits...i think i'm just going to keep reposting my UFl site until i get banned and then i'll try wading through wikipedia's enormous sea of unnecessary red tape for an appeal. But yeah get back to me about the millions of people interested in Perl Object-Oriented Persistence.

Concerning TheCommish21

Found his posts on your talk page just now via my watchlist. Should I remove his statement on his userpage as well? (Both the boycotting of Misplaced Pages and the personal attack against you and the "cyberidiots." -WarthogDemon 03:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. You've taken care of it already. Though if you want me to help you keep your talk page clean in the future, let me know. :) -WarthogDemon 04:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

undeletion requested

I respectfully request undeletion of the Marlie Casseus article. Google results indicate she has enough media coverage to qualify as notable under the first criterion of WP:BIO. Thanks.Kchase T 05:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the note; I've undeleted the article, but it's pretty short. That's probably one of the reasons someone tagged it as a speedy. I did, however, put cleanup temps on it, so it will hopefully catch some attention. I may try expanding it myself. - Lucky 6.9 17:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I found a bunch of press sources last night, so I should be expanding it shortly. Thanks and enjoy your wikibreak.--Kchase T 17:32, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

All done. Thanks again for the undeletion.--Kchase T 19:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Smile

Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile at others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Hi Lucky 6.9! I hope you enjoyed your wikibreak. At your convenience, I wanted to check on the status of the Brain Fitness entry and see what needs to be done. Thanks! Dendritelady 19:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Dreadhead deletion

According to the Misplaced Pages:Notability (people) article, one of the criteria for inclusion is a "A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following" and "Name recognition" all of which Dreadhead has in the Indianapolis Colts community. The Dreadhead appears in the team's opening video, in the program and on the big screen as "AAA - Fan of Game," in addition to his weekly occurences on the big screen in RCA Dome. In the Indianapolis community, the Dreadhead has been recognized on countless occasions, and in his former college community of Muncie, IN. He has also appeared on several Colts Caravan promotional tour stops, recognizable as such.

User:06729266d

This user is requesting an unblock on his talk page. Dosn't seem to be a bad-faith editor. What do you think? (maybe a referal to name-change?) ---J.S 22:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thisis a page created by 06729266d wasn't worthy of an indef in my honest opinion. An hour long block would have been sufficient enough to get the message across to keep experimentation inside the sandbox. Unblocked. --  Netsnipe  ►  04:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Request for undeletion

Hi Lucky 6.9,

You mentioned that my Leaders Today page was a copyright violation. As far as I know, the only organization in the world called Leaders Today is the one that I had put on the page. Its web site can be found at www.leaderstoday.com and it's the only organization with that name that shows up on every single major search engine.

Can you please let me know why you deemed the page as a copyright violation?

Earlier today, I posted this same polite request and somebody deleted it. Can I please get a response to my polite question?

Thanks a lot!

Talk Page Mishap

Sorry for the mess up earlier today with: . Would it be better if I just delete instead of revert? (I'm worried about not being able to tell the difference between legit messages and complaints. >_>) -WarthogDemon 03:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Jjm83

Hi, I am looking into a request for unblock by User:Jjm83. You blocked this user with a reason of "Sockpuppet" -- how did you determine this? The user says this is a ridiculous accusation, although I can't tell where they got the idea it was for impersonating "Hannah montana 92" (a user I can't find). I can't see anything in the user's contributions that supports the idea that the account is a sockpuppet. What can you tell me about this? -- Renesis (talk) 04:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Lucky, you made a mistake on this one. Jjm83 (talk • contribs) was tagging Ricky ulman for deletion using the wrong tag {{sfd-t}}. --  Netsnipe  ►  04:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Lucky, thanks for following up on that. Looks like Netsnipe figured it out before I could! -- Renesis (talk) 05:51, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for unblocking me, and I apologize my my earlier uncivil attitude. I intend to find all of the various articles out about the UFL and also I'm looking into editing a few other pages. Thanks for straightening everything out. --TheCommish21 04:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for allowing me to work with the needer page to make it better for the site. I am trying to do this and any input you may I have I would find valuable.Elitemagroup 06:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

National Certified Counselor

Oops, I thought I'd made a glitch, but it turns out that this article was twice promptly deleted. Why isn't it in the same category as LCPC, which has remained up? Insufficient cites? Thanks. Kencf 21:57, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:63 vette.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:63 vette.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. —Nv8200p talk 12:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

What title do you suggest?

Trying to create a page for the Singer songwriter called "Styles". I titled it Styles - Singer / Songwriter...I did that so that I wouldn't overwrite the original "Styles" page that Redirects to Rapper "Styles P." so not to offend anyone. So what Title do you suggest?SM-Music 20:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Lucky I need your help again

Sorry to bother you again but you've been so helpful with disruptive editors in the past.

We’re having serious problem on the Oprah Winfrey board with editor user:David Fuchs. He seems determined to add the following libelous information about Oprah Winfrey:

Others see Oprah as too powerful, wielding too much influence in everything from what people wear to what people buy: appearing on her show can bring greater financial success to the item, as evidenced by several books such as A Million Little Pieces (see Oprah Book Club above). Others are disgusted that Oprah is considered for a Nobel Peace Price when she has done little but thrown "excess money at poor people." These factors and others have led to several anti-Oprah sites appearing.

It’d be one thing if he had notable sources he could quote for his anti-Oprah rant, but instead all he provides for sources are anonymous anti-Oprah web pages (which he may have created himself & is trying to use wikipedia to advertise) and a student article. It’s my understanding that the references one is required to cite in order to justify trashing a living person should be much higher. I cite the following from Misplaced Pages’s living person policy:

Editors should remove any controversial material about living persons that is either unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source. In cases where the information is derogatory and poorly sourced or unsourced, this kind of edit is an exception to the three-revert rule. These principles apply to biographical material about living persons found anywhere in Misplaced Pages, including user and talk pages. Administrators may enforce the removal of such material with page protection and blocks, even if they have been editing the article themselves. Editors who re-insert the material may be warned and blocked. See the blocking policy and Misplaced Pages:Libel.

Can you please keep him away from this article. Any help would be enormously appreciated. Timelist 20:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Quick Favor to Ask

Lucky,

Can you have a look at some of these articles and give me a piece of advice? I was thinking of rewriting them to focus more on what makes the road special, rather than what seem to me to be "turn by turn" directions. But I wanted to get your advice on whether this was, you know, how road entries were always done. (I was also thinking of bringing it up on the talk pages - but wanted to see if I was way off base first.) What do you think? Thanks. --TheOtherBob 01:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Need assistance with a vandal

Hi- Previously you (temporarily) blocked a vandal with the IP address 66.82.9.73. He has come back and is repeatedly and systematically vandalizing the Marc Lepine page, rewriting the article to contain blatant hate. Could you please take a look at the history of the page and advise me on how the situation can be rectified? I tried adding the IPs he uses to the vandal reporting page but an admin removed them, saying "I don't think this is appropriate for AIV" (or somesuch). (Something in me doubts he researched the case but rather saw what is to a *very* cursory inspection a content dispute.)

Thanks.
