== Beer golf ==

After posting an article on [[Beer golf]], that is actually a game I am questioning as to why you deleted it, there was no need to, thankfully I copied the whole text just in case some one decided my contribution was not appropriate.  It would be nice to actually know what the reason was for deleting it, since it did not have any inappropriate content. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Zach Leffel|Zach Leffel]] ([[User talk:Zach Leffel|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Zach Leffel|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->
* I had completely forgotten that I deleted it in 2005 September as well! I gave the deletion reason as [[WP:NFT]] - that was a link - did you follow it? Deleted because there was absolutely no attempt to establish [[WP:NOTE|notability]]. For all we could tell it is a game that [[WP:NFT|you and your friends have made up]]. The previous version had the claim ''[<span class="ltr">it</span>] became very popular especially in the regions of New York state and Northern Pennsylvania''. You could not even manage that. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 19:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

== About automatical links ==

Dear Roger:
 
The Polish version of our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology/PolishCoA]] is quite simple, as you can see in [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szablon:HerbSzlachecki Szablon:HerbSzlachecki]. Nevertheless, it has an advantage. When you edit a Coat of arms, the simple link [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_szlachecki_%28lista_herb%C3%B3w%29 ((Herb szlachecki (lista herbów)|lista herbów))] does that the new Coat of arms '''automatically''' appears in the List of Coats of arms.
 
We have the [[List of Polish nobility coats of arms]], but we must add it manually. Is there a chance to do the same thing as in the pl:wiki they do? 
 
Unfortunately I am a real ass in software. Best regards, my friend.
--[[User:Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin|Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin]] 00:54, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
* Are you claiming that [[:pl:Herb szlachecki (lista herbów)]] is edited automatically? I can see no evidence of it. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 01:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I will try editing a Polish coat of arms in pl:wiki. Then I will write you again. 

By the way, my father died at age 92 also, a year ago.
-- [[User:Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin|Gustavo Szwedowski de Korwin]] 01:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
* Are you confusing with categories? Both the en: and pl: templates place an article in a category. I am always fascinated by [http://rhaworth.fotopic.net/p38708007.html this wall] of the Gables Balmoral Hotel in [[Blackpool]]. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 16:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

** Dear Roger: 
 
You are right. It is not the link I thought. It seems to be the Category [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategoria:Herby_szlacheckie Kategoria:Herby szlacheckie] itself. 
 
I edited [http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%85drostki_%28herb_szlachecki%29 Mądrostki (herb szlachecki)] in order to find the system.

* Really, the wall is astonishing to be in England.

== [[Burt Colt]] ==

Hi, I noticed you marked [[Burt Colt]] for deletion. Although the content of the article might be a hoax, if you know something about the real person, maybe the article can be corrected, and if not maybe redirect to [[Voyager Comics]] - unless that article is hoaxy too. [[User:Potatoswatter|Potatoswatter]] 16:48, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
* I know absolutely nothing about him. That is why it got a prod tag, which can be taken as invitation for others to confirm or deny that it is an hoax. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 19:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Why do you suspect it's a hoax? Looks like any bio to me. [[User:Potatoswatter|Potatoswatter]] 19:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
* Nonsense tone of the article: ''Considered a fictional character by most'' and ''The lack of physical evidence is apparently due to experimental paper process used by Voyagers printer, which caused the books to rapidly deteriorate.'' No any external links. Need I say more? -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 19:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
That's hardly evidence - could be vandalism. Did you check the history? The other article clearly said who he was supposed to be, which would imply evidence of his existence. And linked to backup evidence for the deteriorated books. At the least Burt Colt is the moniker given to the uncredited comic artist. The article ''did'' have a history, which is now gone, which would've been saved if you'd just redirected. Which would've been easier. Wish I'd done so... [[User:Potatoswatter|Potatoswatter]] 20:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Anyway I didn't understand the prod process before so it's basically my mistake. Whatever. [[User:Potatoswatter|Potatoswatter]] 20:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

== MMIA Terminal Deletion ==

You marked a couple of pictures for deletion on [[Murtala Mohammed International Airport]]. The copyright owner only stipulated credit be given him if I use the image, however I've requested he give permission under the GFDL. Other than selecting the appropriate license when permission is received and I re-upload the file would I be right to assume the deletion mark will be removed? <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Ssublyme|Ssublyme]] ([[User talk:Ssublyme|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ssublyme|contribs]]) 22:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->
* If you obtained [[:Image:LOSDOMTerminal1.jpg]] by email, then just stick a GFDL tag on it. If someone is liable to find it somewhere else on the web, then you need to establish permission properly - see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]] (and numerous other pages!). If you have any connection with [[user:Aadebayo|Aadebayo]], you could also get the source and licence for [[:Image:LagosAirport.jpg]] fixed. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 19:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello.  I guess I didn't archive the page [[Comparison of Windows and Linux]] correctly, it shows that you removed it.  I couldn't make heads or tails of the Wikipedia page about archiving, I was hoping you could help me out?  Thanks [[User:Hendrixski|Hendrixski]] 14:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
* We simply do not create archive pages for articles. The state you "archived" is permanently available [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_Windows_and_Linux&oldid=109950190 here].

== Wiki Battle ==

Hi there. On the [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Wiki_Battle|AfD discussion]] for Wiki Battle, you suggested speedy delete for it. ([[Wiki Battle]] is a [[WP:NFT#That infamous game]] clone). I was the nominator, and I would have speedied it, but I don't see a rationale allowing it at [[WP:SPEEDY]] under G1-12 or A1-7.  To be honest, I'd prefer speedy for it because there's not a chance of it (or any such page) surviving AfD. What are your thoughts? Regards, [[User:Flyguy649|Flyguy649]] 03:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
* Let this AfD go through. Find all the AfD debates for similar in the past and list them in [[Wikipedia talk:Six degrees of Wikipedia]]. Any future article, I would happily delete speedily with "repost - see <link to list of AfDs>" even if the title did not exactly match. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 07:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
* No - sod it - I have found two precedents that is enough - speedy this one. I would like to block the author but each sweet thing thinks that they are the first to invent the game. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 07:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
* Why would you want to block me? All I did was create an article. I searched for similar things and couldn't find it. I am so sorry for being such a naive person! For gods' sakes, all I did was try to contribute to this free encyclopedia. I have contributed to other articles too, to better wikipedia: manga cafes, the French article on your mom jokes, my high school's page. I think that it is entirely pompous and ridiculous that you suggest or even fathom a block. I have done nothing. I created a page on an idea that I couldn't find, and then try to defend it. I wrote two good defenses for the article, whether or not you took the time out of your busy schedule squandering the youth's creativity to read it. People online think that seniority gives them the right to be as vile as they wish. If anyone should be blocked, it should be you! I'm not upset about getting a speedy deletion. It's not a huge deal to me. I just think that maybe you should be a little more open rather than trying to verbally kill anyone who hasn't been on the site for years. [[User:Misterramune|Misterramune]] 20:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

== Please see [[WP:BITE]] ==

Your comment [[User talk:Ryand8686|here]] wasn't very nice.  Plenty of people outside of Wikipedia think that it is a venue for free advertising.  He hasn't reposted the article since I made him aware of our policies. --[[User:BigDT|BigDT]] 15:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the move, I was trying to figure out how to handle it. Is that a pretty standard procedure to create a ...article/sandbox page to mess with content changes?  I couldn't find anything out about that. I liked your "How can a tram route cross a trolley bus route without short circuits" by the way.

==AfD / Akiva Israel==

Hi RHaworth : You nominated [[Akiva Israel]] for deletion (see [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Akiva Israel]].) However, it would have been nice if you would have informed the original creator of this article that you were doing so (I have just done so [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Avikaida&diff=111566883&oldid=111564522]). Kindly note that on [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list pages for deletion]] it advises that: "...''''It is generally considered civil to notify the [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|good-faith]] creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion'''.  Do not notify [[Wikipedia:Bot policy|bot accounts]] or people who have made only insignificant 'minor' edits.

Thank you for the information.  I propose to move the working pages [[jdw wavenumber]] and [[jdw wave vector]] to [[user:John David Wright/wavenumber]] and [[user:John David Wright/wave vector]] respectively.  The only trouble is I cannot find the originals. --[[User:John David Wright|John David Wright]] 06:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
* They were copies of [[wavenumber]] and [[wave vector]] respectively. So they got deleted. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 06:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
They were not copies of [[wavenumber]] and [[wave vector]].  I had added information to both pages. I noticed that other users edit copies of pages under their user page.  Of course the best way is to set up my own local wikisite so that I can edit, periodically save the working article, and not worry about losing work.  Periodically saving the original article while editing just clutters the history.  In the absence of my own local wikisite I borrowed the working page technique of other users.  --[[User:John David Wright|John David Wright]] 11:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
* I thoroughly agree that using a temporary version is a good idea. Unfortunately, you did not borrow the working page technique of other users closely enough. I have dumped the live and your versions of both all into [[User:John David Wright/sandbox]]. Pick what you want from the edit history. There is no need to create your own wikisite - working pages with the correct names are very unlikely to get touched. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 17:42, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
My faith in the process is restored.  Cheers --[[User:John David Wright|John David Wright]] 04:48, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

==Sproughton Tennis Club==
[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sproughton Tennis Club]]

I see that the article has been deleted.  Although I know you did not do the physical deed, you did instigate the process and I do feel very aggrieved.  I accept the reason that it could be said to be non-notable ([[James Trotman | despite a former Wimbledon champion]]) playing there for many years as a junior, however what really bugs me is the fact that there are scores of other tennis clubs listed within Wikipedia that are at best equally obscure and at worst not even a basic article, YET they do not seem to be under the threat of deletion.  

It would seem that the guidelines for what is worthy (and what is not) are not followed equally by all editors, even the same editor.

I note in particular [[Cleckheaton Lawn Tennis Club]] which had it's article visited and updated by your good-self in October 2006.  Can you explain why this article was not flagged for deletion and yet Sproughton Tennis was?

I would be interested in your views. -- [[User:Sproughtontennis|Sproughtontennis]] 14:33, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
* Beautifully touché. You have discovered that I am inconsistent. I will AfD it for you. But for others: create a new Id for yourself so it don't seem like sour grapes and send them to AfD. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 17:17, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

== Deletion of [[Graham Mitchell]] ==

Hi, I noticed you deleted this page (and I believe this happened several times).  I'm just wondering why the spam was reposted and now protected.  Seems a bit odd to me.  [[User:Someguy1221|Someguy1221]] 19:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

== Ouzelum Bird ==

Why did you remove my addendum to the [[Oozlum bird]] article?  'Ouzelum' is a recognized variation of the Oozlum in many places, and even here on Wiki the phrase 'ouzelum bird' redirects to the Oozlum page as well.  I see nothing wrong with noting the alternate version, especially considering some of the random information that makes up a chunk of the entry to begin with.

==Staircase jig==

The article is clearly not about how to build a Staircase jig. The article is not about how to build stairs. It is not a textbook. This seems to meet the criteria for an article in Wikipedia. My intent is
to descripe a jig and some history on jigs. "The purpose of Wikipedia is to present facts, not to teach a subject matter. It is not appropriate to create or edit articles which read as textbooks, with leading questions and step-by-step problem solutions as examples. These belong on our sister project, Wikibooks."
                                                                                                    

"Wikipedia is not a moot court, and although rules can make things easier, they are not the purpose of the community. Instruction creep should be avoided. A perceived procedural error made in posting anything, such as an idea or nomination, is not grounds for invalidating that post. Follow the spirit, not the letter, of any rules, policies and guidelines if you feel they conflict. Disagreements should be resolved through consensual discussion, rather than through tightly sticking to rules and procedures."

This part interests me the most. "Follow the spirit, not the letter of the law...."
Where exactly is the article teaching a subject? Where is the how to do tone in the article? Leading questions? So, I respectfully disagee with the tag that was placed on the article. If you can enlighten me 
as to where this is not so then maybe the article can be rewritten or sent to Wikibooks. I prefer consensual discussion.                     --[[User:Johnalden|<span style="color:green;">Johnalden</span>]][[User_talk:Johnalden|<span style="color:#FF0000;"><sup>'''talk'''</sup></span>]] 22:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the speedy deletion tag from the above article. While the subject might not be notable, the article does ''assert'' notability in a reasonable way.

I perfectly understand what you mean.At that time it was the name of French top football division like Ligue 1 now.And articles about ligue 1 were named, for instance, Ligue 1 season 200X/200X.So, I found logical to name articles about Division 1 Division 1 season 199X/199X.Yes, It's a bit late and I have the project to create all season of French football top division.What do you suggegt to improve it?How could I named future articles?Personnally, I prefer something like "French football Division 1 season 199X/199X" [[Division 1 season 1993/1994|Here is the article you have marked]] [[User talk:Latouffedisco]]

* I have just found [[France football championship D1 season 1998/1999]] (please note that you have duplicated the content of this) but I think that is an ugly title. "French football Division 1 season 199X/199X" would be an improvement and probably acceptable. I would prefer "French soccer Division 1 199X/199X" - we can drop the word season but rugby is a form of football and is played in France. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 16:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

*I have made contextualization for all articles about French top division and added a wikilink to French league which is [[Ligue de Football Professionnel]] and already existed.I have also merged [[Division 1 season 1998/1999]] to [[France football championship D1 season 1998/1999]].Now we can delete [[Division 1 season 1998/1999]].Yes, I have duplicated this article but it was surprisingly not in the template about French top division!OK, to avoid ambiguity and semantic discusses I will name next articles in that way :"French soccer Division 1 199X/199X" or "French soccer Division 1 season 199X/199X".I don't know about the word season but it's surely expendable.Thanks for your advices.

== Deletion of Glen Scrimshaw ==

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Glen_Scrimshaw&action=edit]] What do you mean reposted spam?  This was a very uncontroversial information on Canadian Artist Glen Scrimshaw it was linked to [[List of Canadian artists]].

I ran out of time before going to work to establish all of the links to verify everything mentioned, and it was not a lot, would be attributable to a reliable source.  By the time I had arrived at work to finish the article it had been deleted. The reason given was reposted Spam??  Please explain yourself.

[[User:Uvak38|Uvak38]] 02:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
* I mean "reposted" because, as you very well know, you had already created [[Glen Scrimshaw Artist]] and had it deleted by [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glen Scrimshaw Artist|this AfD]]. I call it "spam" (ie. advertising) because of the tone, your lack of contribution history and because of the views expressed in the AfD debate. The link <u>from</u> List of Canadian artists signifies nothing since you created the link. Given the AfD decision, if you want the article back, you will need to go to [[WP:DRV|deletion review]]. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 02:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
: Incidentally, I recommend you to leave Veronica Yurach in your user space until she can muster more Google hits than [http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Veronica%20Yurach%22&hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=iw this]. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 02:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

The Link from Canadian Artists was not meant to signify anything.  I thought I was taking the advice of other much more experienced wiki contributors and starting smaller.  Glen Scrimshaw is a Canadian Artist and a notable one at that.  I took the advice of others and only mentioned information on Glen that could be attributable to a reliable source.  I agree the tone of my first article Glen Scrimshaw Artist was very commercial and I used several terms that I now understand would be impossible to attribute to a reliable source.  That was my first  ever article and I honestly did not understand how Wikipedia worked.  It was because of my lack of understanding that I expressed the views that I did.  I suppose I took it a little personally like I was being called a lier.  I now have a much better understanding of how this works and understand completely why my first few articles have been deleted.  I do object to the removal of my last article on Glen Scrimshaw, if I can provide links to back up every notable achievement by Glen. Will you take the time to do some research on Glen Scrimshaw.  One point alone which I believe has earned Glen a spot in the pages of Wikipedia is this.  Glen Scrimshaw was awarded with the ABEX Award (Achievements in Business Excellence) for his community involvement.  The reason Glen was awarded this prestigious award, was because for the past ten years of Glen's 20 yr. career, Glen through donations of his artwork has helped raise over 1.5 million dollars annually for the charities he supports.  Before Glen was honored with this award these figures were verified by an extensive audit.  The audit verified his philanthropy and Glen was awarded the honor.   Other Companies that have received this award are,  Weyerhauser,  Cameco  Corp. & PCS all major corporations. Glen Scrimshaw deserves to be on the Canadian artist page with a link to an article on him, highlighting his accomplishments, of course in a non commercial way.

In response to your comment on Veronica Yurach, her article will remain where it is, until such time that I can have the minutes of band council meetings made accessible over the internet.  I would assume minutes taken at legally convened band council meetings would be considered a reliable source.  I realize in our technically advanced age how someone might assume if you do not receive the required amount of google hits you are not notable or worthy of having your achievements recorded in history. Have you ever been to the vast Canadian north.  Canada is a wonderful country.  Part of what makes it so wonderful is, there are still spots where humans have not yet left their mark.  I am sure you already know this, but I have to ask, you do realize that even though it seems like it, the whole world does not have high speed internet.

By the age of 12 Veronica Yurach had saved her fathers life by hiking across country, for over 30 miles, in minus 40 below weather, to get help when her father faced certain death from complications resulting from undiagnosed sugar diabetes, that same winter she single handedly delivered her youngest sibling into the world 250 miles from the nearest nurses station.  I have no doubt that had Veronica lived further south in a more populated area than 1 person for every 500 miles you would be reading all about her in results from your google search.

==Atheistic Evangelism==

Roger, 

Thank you for taking the time to look at the Atheangelism and Atheistic Evangelism articles.

You had originally called for the deletion of atheangelism, but now appear to be comfortable with the idea of redirecting atheangelism to [[atheistic evangelism]], and not requesting the deletion of the latter.

Am I correct in that interpretation ?

If I am incorrect, here is my argument to keeping "atheistic evangelism".

You raised 2 reasons for suggesting the deletion of atheangelism:

1. Neutral Point of View

2. Neoligism

1. Neutral point of view is not violated with this article. The terms "atheangelism", "atheistic evangelism", and "evangelical atheism" are interchangeble, in use by Christian apologists and atheists alike.

Please look at the references at the bottom of the page.

Generally speaking, "atheangelism" and "atheistic evangelism" are terms used by Christian apologists to describe the phenomenon described in the article.

"Evangelical atheism" has been used in the same way "atheangelism" and "atheistic evangelism" have been used by Christian apologists, but has also been used by atheists as well. If you look at the article, I now describe the different ways atheists and Christian apologists use this last term.

The point is, describing a term as used by Christian apologists is not a violation of NPV. Although, I think NPV does require the inclusion of atheist definitions of the term, or atheist responses to those elements of the term which they do not agree with.

2. With regards to the neoligism, you would be correct to point out that "atheangelism" per se is a relatively new term. However, "atheistic evangelism" is definitely not a neoligism. It is a widely used term that has been around for well over a decade and a half. Similarly, "Evangelical atheism" has been used for a decade and a half.

Please let me know if the changes that have been made in the article address your concerns satisfactorily. [[User:mpleahy|mpleahy]] 17:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
* Is was not really a matter of me applying the prod but re-instating [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atheistic_evangelism&diff=113733337&oldid=113727653 this edit] and even at the time, I wondered if it was worth doing so. I am perfectly happy to let the article stay. But do attend to the {{tl|linkless}} tag.

== AfD - human consciousness ==

With respect to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sociology of human consciousness]], I have two concerns:  one is that it may be copyvio, two that [[User:Tomburns]] may actually be Tom Burns the sociologist [http://www.soc.uu.se/staff/tom_b.html], and if not that he is pretending to be (which would, of course, be "bad").  Anyway, I emailed the real guy, so we'll see if we get confirmation.  I just wanted to let you know why I'm editing the articles before voting.  In any case, I'm going to make some edits to the articles you afd'd, and we'll see how it goes. Best, [[User:Smmurphy|Smmurphy]]<sup>([[User talk:Smmurphy|Talk]])</sup> 02:55, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
* I had assumed automatically that [[User:Tomburns]] was the same person as the T.R. Burns mentioned in refs in both articles. Thank you for tracking him down to Uppsala. In a case like this using copyvio as grounds for deletion is avoiding the real issue - [[WP:COI]] is a much stronger argument. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 05:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I only mention copyvio because it will be embarrassing if the real Tom Burns looks at the article and sees a working paper of his.  Does COI cover deletion?

BTW, I don't know much about sociology, and that article is intimidating, but I made some fixes to [[Meta-power]]. [[User:Smmurphy|Smmurphy]]<sup>([[User talk:Smmurphy|Talk]])</sup> 06:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I just cleaned up the other one, so they're both a bit better wikified now.  I'm pretty sure that they'll pass afd, hopefully the discussion is interesting, though, as I don't know much about how WP looks at academic style encyclopedia articles.  Also, I got an email from Professor Burns, and he is the editor who created these articles. [[User:Smmurphy|Smmurphy]]<sup>([[User talk:Smmurphy|Talk]])</sup> 19:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
* Thanks. COI is not a criterion for speedy deletion but it always counts heavily agains an article in any AfD discussion. On the quickest of glances, I would say these articles are still original research. Truth is I have no strong feeling about which way the AfD should go <u>but</u> I do feel very strongly that every self-promoter must submit to an AfD discussion! -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 20:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

== [[Chris Nudds]] ==

You tagged [[Chris Nudds]] for speedy deletion as a "nonsense bio". In fact, while the tone of the article was inappropriate, the information in it was verifiable through two different British newspapers. I therefore added some references, removed the photo (since I couldn't verify its authenticity), and removed the speedy tag. --[[User:Eastmain|Eastmain]] 19:19, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

== [[Nick Tahou Hots]] ==

I fail to understand why Garbage Plate redirects to Nick Tahou Hots instead of containing its own article. Although Nick Tahou was the creator of the Garbage Plate, it is in no way an exclusive dish to Nick Tahou Hots. Perhaps this is something that is more of a Wiki thing, but it doesn't make sense to me why an article on a food is redirected to an article about one restaurant of over a dozen that serves it.<br /><b><span style="background-color:#000000"><font color="white">☒</font> <span style="color:dodgerblue;">TinDragon</span></span> <small>([[User:TinDragon|User Page]] • [[User talk:TinDragon|Talk Page]] • [[Special:Contributions/TinDragon|Contribs]])</small></b> 21:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I just noticed the Discussion page. o.O It seems that people want it redirected mainly because they think the food looks disgusting? I still fail to see the reasoning, but at least I see why you redirected. Is there something you or I could do to make it it's own article? It hardly seems fair that it doesn't have its own article simply because people don't like it. It's like saying Hitler shouldn't have an article. >.><br /><b><span style="background-color:#000000"><font color="white">☒</font> <span style="color:dodgerblue;">TinDragon</span></span> <small>([[User:TinDragon|User Page]] • [[User talk:TinDragon|Talk Page]] • [[Special:Contributions/TinDragon|Contribs]])</small></b>

You have marked this item for speedy deletion and I wondered what the suggested clean-up to the article would be.

If you could suggest your changes to both articles more indepth, I would be happy to consider appropriate changes and make them after reviewing them with the editors.  Thank you. -- [[User:Iviewit|Iviewit]] 02:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
* The suggestion is that you should '''wait''' until someone with no [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] writes the article for you. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 03:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Per the Wikipedia guidlines

"This does not mean, however, that it is impossible to write a neutral, verifiable autobiography, or that they are strictly forbidden. It is just that people tend to promote themselves, either clearly (like saying "I'm great") or more subtly (like not including important, verifiable negative incidents in their lives, or adding lots of unsourced positive incidents, or giving the negative incidents too little weight). Many people do not have the humility required to write a neutral article that sticks only to published information. Because of this, writing autobiographies is highly discouraged. If one wants to write an autobiography it is advisable to discuss it with the community and seek consensus first."

I had submitted for editing an entry on Iviewit initially and it was edited to become the biography Eliot Bernstein while we worked on the form of the initial Iviewit entry.  This was worked on and submitted to the prior editor who made several key points we worked until it appeared neutral and to tell both about the inventions, the inventors and those who surrounded these most pivotal inventions to the digital imaging and video worlds.  It is very difficult in this instance to have others get involved on a public basis to aid Iviewit in any way that could put themselves and their families in harms way, this must be considered in how the article is written and by whom.  Further, it would appear that if you could core into your issues we could get to a mutual resolution as to how make it work under the allowable guidlines, under special circumstances.  

I was unclear if your comments were to Eliot Bernstein and Iviewit or just Eliot Bernstein, if we could put the comments on each article that would be preferable to make the changes that way if no trouble to you.

Regarding the conflict of interest, as this is a sensitive subject under hosts of investigations, I politely ask if you have any conflicts with any of the people found on the homepage, ie law firms, lawyers, accountants, shareholders, etc.  Or do you have any other interest in these matters other than from an unbiased editorial point of view?  Sorry to ask but you can see by the proposed bill submitted to Senator Dianne Feinstein referenced in Iviewit and Eliot Bernstein, we have even asked the President or signatory on the bill to sign similar conflict waiver before undertaking the matters.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

To [[User:Ronbo76|Ronbo76]], [[User:Bsroiaadn|Bsroiaadn]] and [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]]:

Regarding: [[Michael Shelfer]]

Thank you for your comments.  As a neophyte to Wikipedia, I appreciate your willingness to educate me regarding Wikipedia's article posting policies.  Had I had prior knowledge of those policies, I would not have posted the article to begin with (even though there was no intention on my part to promote Michael Shelfer).  Now, I understand.  Historically, I've experienced hostile attacks against a website on the Internet and also virus attacks against my own personal computer.  Anti-virus software has cost me plenty over the years.  When [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] redirected the link, applied the COI tag and made his comments, I reacted defensively because I perceived it to be a personal and hostile attack against the posting, vandalism, if you will.  If I own Mr. RHaworth an apology, then of course, I apologize.  I would have preferred Mr. RHaworth to have had the courtesy to have sent me a brief note explaining the reason for his actions *1*.  I feel that would have been the more professional way to have conducted his edit.  In the future if the article remains on Wikipedia, I'll take no further action with respect to editing or changing the article in any way.  If the managing editors *2* of Wikipedia feel the article is in violation of Wikipedia convention and its continued existence on Wikipedia has no merit, then they should remove it; the sooner, the better.  I would prefer its removal to having it continue to exist with the COI moniker on it.  Once again, thank you for your willingness to educate me and the time it took you to do it.

Having given way to the temptation to tidy up [[Denvilles halt]] I found during the work, from my copy of Butt's The Directory of Railway Stations (P.78), that the LB&SCR opened Warblington Station as Denville in 1907. I thought you might find this ironic given events during the dispute. Someone at the time thought so; they renamed the station within the year (Ha! now I look at book more closely, within the month!) This may explain why you found Warblington and the only Denville you could find suspiciously close, as per your comment on the article's talk page. Butt has no reference to this Denvilles halt.

Hi Roger, I see you stuck a notability box on this one. The reason I why would like this one to stay is:

* He is one of the UK's top authors on HR management *1*
* Was a senior examiner for CIPD (one of the toughest exams outside accountancy)
* In HR Management and mangement in general, his work is being quoted in Wiki pages.

The list of published works is not exhaustive.

What I propose is that I refer the article to someone esle with the Business and Econmics community.

Incidentally whilst I'm at it I have had trouble with a retired US uni professor who insists on quoting himself in the [[SWOT analysis]] page and deleting anything which isn't his POV.

I know that you are aware that [[Template:Oscoor]] converts grid references to OSGB36 lat/longs, but the ''Map sources/GeoHack'' page expects WGS84 lat/longs. It means that [[Template:Oscoor]], and all the templates that use it, e.g. [[Template:gbmapping]], are of little use if you want to pinpoint the exact location of a building or street. (Similarly, the grid references generated via <nowiki>{{coor}}</nowiki> are also inaccurate by 100m or so.) However, [[User:The Anomebot2]] (a bot) is correctly converting grid references found within articles into WGS-84 latitude/longitude in <nowiki>{{coor title d}}</nowiki>. Such articles then contain two geo refs which are displayed as about 100 metres apart.

== [[Barrington Irving]] ==

Hi - I must have missed the speedy delete tag placed on this one, or else I would have put a hangon notice - it was deleted while I was working on integrating some of the [http://www.google.com/news?q=Barrington+Irving&sourceid=navclient-ff&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS177US213 numerous sources] available (after I'd moved the original article due to a misspelling).  Mind if I recreate it?  [[User:JavaTenor|JavaTenor]] 18:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
* You may recreate it, becaue I do admit I was swift in deleting it. But ''the first African American and the youngest person (23 years old) to go around the world'' seems to be patent nonsense, so you will have to work hard (in [[user:JavaTenor/sandbox]]) to demonstrate the guy's notability. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 18:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
For reference, I didn't create the original [[Barrington Irvin]] article - I found it, was considering placing a speedy delete tag on it, but then did a search and determined that the name was misspelled and that there were plenty of sources available to assert notability.  I then moved it to the correct spelling, and was editing it when I noticed it had already been deleted. [[User:JavaTenor|JavaTenor]] 18:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
* OK, I see I deleted it before you had the chance to do any edits. Clearly the first thing to do is to change "go around the world" to "pilot a plane around the world"? I have restored it. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 18:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks.  I've fleshed it out a bit, and added references and stub tags.  It's actually an interesting story - it's rather refreshing to find a "diamond in the rough" from such an unpromising start. [[User:JavaTenor|JavaTenor]] 19:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

You deleted the image "Image:KennetBenHowe.jpg" without notifying [[User talk:CR7|me]] or leaving a note on the [[Kennet Comprehensive School]] page.

* See {{tl|idw-noncom}}. The image description carried a prominent speedy deletion tag.

If you check [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=RHaworth&namespace=3 my contributions] (search for noncom), you will see that I have been known to leave messages. But I reserve it for cases where multiple images have been uploaded. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 02:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

* Oh dear, you ask a sensible question, now I have to <u>think</u>. Trouble is that 1958 is well within the general limit of life-of-creator-plus-70 years. Let us assume (or pretend!) that the image is cropped out of a large group photograph, which the school commissioned and for which the school bought the copyright. When you re-upload it, state the same in the image description. Tag it {{tl|PD}}. Send an email to the school asking them to send an email to the permissions... address in [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]. A lot of hassle but it will fix the image in place. Incidentally why chose [[CR postcode area|Thornton Heath]] for your ID? Coulsdon or Caterham are much prettier! -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 11:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

== Bill Still ==

Good day, re: [[Bill still]] article, my persistence is based on not understanding wiki's policies. The [[Piotr Blass]] article is a good example. I know the man. His entry is a bio. So why the A7 delete code for Bill Still, who I am supporting (and his monetary policies) and not for Piotr Blass?

I am not trying to waste anyone's time here. But my time is valuable to me, too, and so I don't want to keep trying to get the article in if Wiki is determined to not allow it.

That's pretty much all. I have read all recommended literature (WIKI:NOT, WIKI:BIO, recommended to me by IrishGuy), and tried to comply.

If you know the reason this is still qualified as A7, please simply tell me!
Thanks,

* I would <u>never</u> use "A7" and "G11" - just meaningless crap as far as I am concerned. I have just looked them up and apparently A7 is what I would code as "nn-" and G11 is "spam". Both I would agree with but more the non-notable aspect: there is very little evidence of notability. Is there anyone who agrees with his monetary reform proposals? The most significant difference between Bill and Piotr Blass is that [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Piotr Blass|Piotr's AfD]] generated a lively debate whereas, so far, Bill's AfD suggests total apathy.

== Don't Waste My Time  ==
I respect your position.  I just felt what you put was funny, yet unprofessional.  When the article was tagged for speedy deletion, I immediate added to the talk page asking what the article needed to be of encyclopedic content.  There are obviously several references to this phrase.  Notably a number one hit by '''Dave Mathews Band''' and in a movie starring Al Pachino.  There are more songs and other famous people quoting but did not have time that day to expand.  Which is why I also posted the ''Articles need for expansions request'' tag.  Then, when you deleted it, the only reason you gave was '''Don't waste our time'''.  Wondering why you couldn't let me expand the article or assist in expanding instead of deleting it and giving an unprofessional reason.  My opinion was you should have offered more assistance.  Your opinion, I wasted everyone's time on Wikipedia.  I respect your position but am confused with your decision making and professionalism.  I'm not attacking you.  Just looking for your take on what happened in this situation.  --[[User:gchsbus|gchsbus]] 13:55 , 5 April 2007 (UTC)
* Did you see my "Wikify!" box at the top. The article [[don't waste my time]], in the state that I saw it after removal of copyvio material, made absolutely no assertion of notability. There is little hidden meaning in the phrase so we do not need to explain it. By all means, recreate the article at [[User:Gchsbus/sandbox]] and take it to [[WP:DRV|deletion review]]. It does not need to be as iconic as "[[Houston, We've Got a Problem]]" but you do have to make some attempt to establish that it is notable. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 18:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

==[[cangooglehearme.com]]==

I have been here on Wikipedia for three years and in all respect have some advice for you. Before speedying an article, please check the user for the quality of his edits before acting brashly. If he is a quality editor, and is online, it would be best to message him questioning his entry before speedying it. The said article is def not a speedy, maybe an AFD, i am removing your tag with no further ado and you are free to post an AFD. Thanks. [[User:FrummerThanThou|frummer]] 18:57, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
* Before checking a user's credentials, I check the <u>article's credentials</u>. You have been here three years, so ought to know the importance of establishing notability.

==Chalfonte-Haddon Hall Hotel==
Ok sir so I had a go at a real article [[Chalfonte-Haddon Hall Hotel]], I was at it all day from 9am until late in the evening. Researching my facts and checking them twice. I've been obsessed with this building, I work there on occasion in marketing. The building has had a strange lure. I stumbled across it's history by intrigue and have been amazed by it's intricacy. I've been exploring it's old corridors when I have time. Its one of 3 original old buildings left in town. They razed the rest.

== [[JORVIK Viking Centre]] ==

Hello.  Before I revert your unexplained change of name of the above, I'd be interested to know why you did it.  The name of the place is JORVIK Viking Centre, not Jorvik Viking Centre - see their website.  I don't believe that there's any rule that says that an article can't use capitals when appropriate, but if there is, perhaps you could point me towards it.  Best.  --[[User:GuillaumeTell|GuillaumeTell]] 11:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
* I feel that [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)|the MoS]] overrides anything the centre does on its website. Jorvik is a proper name, not an acronym. Have you considered the [http://www.google.co.uk/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=%22jorvik+viking+centre%22&btnG=Google+Search&meta= weight of Google's evidence]? Writing in capitals is shouting, the centre is English and the English do not shout. However if you wish to emulate the Japanese who create titles like [[Kyokuto I LOVE YOU]] and a dozen others listed in the [[Buck-Tick]] article, then I will not get into an edit war over it. -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 19:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
:See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks)]] which says (in part) "avoid: REALTOR®", "instead, use: Realtor" and "but, don't invent new formats: MCI is standard English, while "Mci" is essentially never used." [[User:CambridgeBayWeather|CambridgeBayWeather]] [[User_talk:CambridgeBayWeather|(Talk)]] 21:29, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
::* Is that a vote for JORVIK or Jorvik? -- [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] 01:34, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Truth is, I don't know and I don't care. After seeing (and being part of) [[Blink-182]], I read through the entire discussion on that MOS page. From what I could see it comes down to randomness. Some things like "blink-182" (note the small b) are just a marketing gimmick and thus proper English applies. However, iPod is not a marketing gimmick and the small i, capital P is fine. On the other hand OxyContin or Oxycontin are both OK. Far too complex for me. I suppose that if I had to choose then normal/proper English through out and that includes Ipod, Ebay and others or base it all on common name and go with blink-182 and iPod, eBay etc. MCI is ok though because it's an abbriviation of "Microwave Communications, Inc." And by the way, the stuff I picked up the place in question all says "JORVIK VIKING CENTRE" with no small letters at all. [[User:CambridgeBayWeather|CambridgeBayWeather]] [[User_talk:CambridgeBayWeather|(Talk)]] 02:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
::::I would argue that the name is Jorvik, the capitals are merely a style.  We use our style, otherwise the problems of Toys R Us and I 'heart' Huckabees arise, let alone which typeface we use. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough|Farmbrough]]'', 09:04 [[8  April]] [[2007]] (GMT).
:::::I suppose that really I agree but that includes the fact that I think eBay and iPod are also styles and should be at Ebay and Ipod. [[User:CambridgeBayWeather|CambridgeBayWeather]] [[User_talk:CambridgeBayWeather|(Talk)]] 10:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

The [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)|MoS]], unless I've missed something, doesn't seem to deal with the case of an organisation which uses capitals for the first word of its name and lower-case for the rest (and the capitals aren't an acronym or an initialism), and the trademarks page doesn't really help.  As for the results from Google, it doesn't seem to me to matter what other sites call the Centre - what matters is what it calls itself.  It isn't totally consistent on its own site - or in its window-display, which I walked past today -, occasionally using all caps or "Jorvik", but at least 90% of references are caps-then-lowercase.  Note also (see [http://www.jorvik-viking-centre.co.uk/index2.htm this page]) that their sister operation also has a capitalised first word:  it's called "DIG" and not "Dig".  I had to use their subtitle for [[DIG: an archaeological adventure|the DIG WP article]] in order to distinguish it from the [[DIG]] dab page.

One other point:  the article on the actual Viking city from which I disentangled the above page is entitled [[Jórvík]] with accents.  The Centre seems never to use the accents, but [[:Jorvik]] redirects to the city rather than the Centre, which I suspect is what most people will be looking for.

Should we (can we?) move this discussion to the article's website?  --[[User:GuillaumeTell|GuillaumeTell]] 17:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
