Please place new messages at the bottom of this page, or click here to start a new discussion, which will automatically be at the bottom. I will respond to comments here, unless there's a better place for them. Please read the following helpful hints before posting:
- Misplaced Pages is a volunteer curated encyclopedia. That means it is not a social networking site, a place for self-promotion, a marketing medium or a free web host. You are expected to be familiar with the goals of this project before you post here.
- Think. Use common sense. Read this before posting; failure to do so may result in your posts being ignored or mocked.
- If you wish to discuss your link additions, I advise you to be read our conflict of interest and spam policies before posting. These pages contain information about the appropriateness of link additions.
- I prefer to be contacted here (as opposed to email) where possible. You're much more likely to get a prompt response.
- I do not consider unblock or undeletion requests sent via email. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Guide to appealing blocks to appeal your block. You may request undeletion here.
- Off-wiki evidence of undisclosed paid editing must not be posted here. These, and complex cases of paid editing will not be acted upon. In both cases, please email paid-en-wp

Happy new Year 2015 MER-C!
Could you please look into https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/Mediawiki-Japi/issues/3? It would be great if you'd comment on the issue or get in touch with me personally to find out how we can collaborate. Thx. --WolfgangFahl (talk) 17:44, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- I don't see anything I can do to help, except to complete my test suites. The unit test class (along with WikiTests.java, which is a bunch of stuff that I must observe happening for now) defines a set of behaviours that are correct. There is only one correct result, how that result is obtained is mostly irrelevant. My framework may or may not pass these tests. Furthermore, there is no need for a wrapper class -- it is going to be a lot faster to checkout the SVN into a different directory and tell your IDE where everything is, and it is trivial to port those tests to a different implementation.

Your deletion of "Guard ring" on January 24, 2014
I was about to create this page when I was warned that a page of the same name had been deleted already and that I should contact you. From the note, it appears that the article was deleted for copyright problems. Was there any reason, other than copyright, that the article was deleted? Is there any reason that I should not create the article, assuming I follow Misplaced Pages guidelines?Constant314 (talk) 21:30, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- No and no. MER-C 05:04, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
Air Lazur
Can you, please, undelete Air Lazur page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mashine1984 (talk • contribs)
- No. An "about us" page is not an encyclopedia article, and I will revoke your editing privileges if you make another attempt to pass it off as one. MER-C 09:10, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
I don't understand what do you mean. Please, explain. Please, check if now it's OK. I've made the page once again without the About us.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mashine1984 (talk • contribs)
- I don't understand what do you mean
- You shouldn't be editing until you do. I do not tolerate any failure (or refusal) to understand the purpose of Misplaced Pages. And no, the new page is not OK but for a different reason -- it has insufficient detail for a reader to determine what the article is about. MER-C 10:10, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion
Hi I received this message below:
This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference.
07:23, 7 January 2015 MER-C (talk | contribs) deleted page Allen L. Ellison (Multiple reasons: speedy deletion criteria A7, G11. Also copied from http://ellisonforcongress.com/full-biography/)
After reading it, I proceeded with reading possible reasons why a page would be deleted. I now have some ideas why. I am requesting that it be placed back so that I can continue to upload the rest of the contents to it. Allen L. Ellison is a public figure and American Politician who is running for United States Congress. He has made history as a first African American to accomplish monumental milestones in several fields on national and international levels. The public will benefit tremendously from having access to information about him.
In the near future, he will be running for President of the United States and one could see how this is Encyclopedia worthy content. Please give me the chance to finish the content without deletion. Please let me know what needs to be done. As I am new to editing in this format.
Thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCampaign (talk • contribs)
- one could see how this is Encyclopedia worthy content
- A campaign biography -- encyclopedia worthy? Please. Let me guess... you're editing Misplaced Pages to further his election campaign? MER-C 06:01, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi MER-C, I understand were you are coming from. However, Allen L. Ellison has accomplished a great deal in a very short time frame and if allowed to publish without deletion, a more comprehensive biography can completed. Just need the chance to finish writing without interruption. It's more than a campaign. Allen is a history maker and will continue doing so while inspiring a nation of people. Only a portion of the bio came from the congressional campaign site. Allen has made history in the fields of sports entertainment and is currently working to reshape policy in foreign affairs. The start of his bio mirrors that of any United States Congressman already on Misplaced Pages. To become registered as a United States Congressional candidate is a huge undertaking in and of itself. The process goes through various federal and states agencies. Candidates are processed in a way much different from any other political races. Financial disclosures are extensive, donors have to be reported and one is essentially upon federal filings become a public figure and is placed on a course to one of the highest offices in the world. Yes, it's encyclopedia worthy which is why so many articles are written on the subject every day. Please allow me to continue writing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCampaign (talk • contribs)
- It is also clearly advertising, which is not allowed on Misplaced Pages. See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. Even your comment above, talking about how Mr. Ellison will be "inspiring a nation", is advertising. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
Wouldn't any content be considered advertising under the definition that you interpret. How does one distinguish between advertising and educating? Can the content be simply educating the public about who he is as opposed to advertising. Advertising would be to solicit and there is no soliciting or propositioning here. Also, the language above is not the published article it's a conversation between you and I.
Help me to understand what it would take to get the content published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCampaign (talk • contribs)
- you're editing Misplaced Pages to further his election campaign?
- I'm going to take your responses as a yes. Is there any reason why your editing privileges should not be revoked in light of this inference? MER-C 03:11, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
So you ask me a question and then turn around an answer for me. I guess that make you the judge, jury and the executioner huh? Thank you for professionalism.TheCampaign (talk) 03:32, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Administrators are users trusted with access to certain tools on the English Misplaced Pages. They are expected to observe a high standard of conduct, to use the tools fairly, and never to use them to gain advantage in a dispute. Is there any reason why yours should not be revoked?TheCampaign (talk) 03:32, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
