Please restore this article and take it to a deletion discussion if you don't think it's notable. There is plenty of very substantial coverage in reliable sources. I understand you may have thought the content was promotional, but it was based on the coverage in reliable sources and you were welcome to improve upon it. The subject is custom crafted boatbuilder that uses finer materials. If it had been an aluminum boat builder, prehaps it might have noted durability and sturdiness, but when reliable sources focus on the beauty and craftmanship used in manufacture then that's what should be noted. Speedy deleting the article is particularly egregious and narrowminded since the article wasn't in any way meant to promote the subject. The article was factual and based on reliable coverage. I understand you may not be familiar with this niche subject matter, but you are bound by the same policies that apply to all editors and administrators. This was not an appropraite speedy candidate and I would appreciate it if you would correct your error. Thank you. Candleabracadabra (talk) 22:11, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

In what way was that an improper G12? I can see that there's an argument over whether it's worth G12ing and then recreating the redirect or simply creating the redirect but in no way was it improper. The CC-BY-SA license requires attribution. Without attribution it's a copyvio. Dpmuk (talk) 23:38, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
The reason I put this up for speedy, was because User:JensHjerto and User:Joakimhaukaas had been creating the articles Jens Hjertø, Joakim Haukaas and 2Boys together. I believe 2Boys is some friends of their, but it's been speedy deleted. For these two teens, it must be a victory that the article about Haukaas is not speedy deleted, and with AfD the article is on wikipedia another week. I thought creating article about themselves was a clear candidate for speedy? Mentoz86 (talk) 09:55, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Amatulic, at the suggestion of User:Binksternet can I ask you to semi-protect my user page and talk page? I got a bunch of vandalism from a now-blocked IP user today, and I get it from IP addresses every so often. Thanks for your consideration. NYyankees51 (talk) 06:24, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for protecting Azteca horse. Unfortunately, you protected the wrong version containing the disputed new material that could subject it to a GAR. Can you restore it to the version that passed GA, which is this one, or, if you'd prefer, the last consensus edit, a few days later, which was this. Thanks. Montanabw(talk) 19:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Ah yes: "Since protecting the most current version sometimes rewards edit warring by establishing a contentious revision, administrators may also revert to an old version of the page predating the edit war if such a clear point exists." Wish ya had, that's all. And wish you'd noted the editor's history, he likes to target the horse GAs and FAs and while sometimes he has made small legitimate points, on the big issues, he has lost every single time. Montanabw(talk) 01:27, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, first of all, thanks for reverting the vandalism on the page I was working on, Tay–Sachs disease, so after, I saw that you have blocked the IP. So now to the subject: The IP is eligible for a Abuse Response case. Abuse Response is a place in Wikipedia that contacts the ISP for more efficient handeling of the abuse. I'm a member of the team who investigates the abuse and contacts the ISP. For me, blocking can just prevent edits, but is standardized, and so can not be as effective. I will be doing the report. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 23:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello.
If you think I am edit warring, please block me indefinitely without talk page access or, better still request some kind of community ban at WP:AN.
Like me, you are a party in the current case Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Muhammad images. There has been a lengthy discussion of Eraserhead1's edits to the image subpage (and the article talk page) at Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Muhammad_images/Proposed_decision#Eraserhead1's recent actions. I made two edits to the images subpage:
This concatentation of edits would not even qualify as edit warring per 1RR and I am certainly not in any way linked to Tarc (see below).
If you assumed that I was going to revert Eraserhead1, you were wrong, because there was no point. As I've written in the link above, I think it is completely inappropriate and premature at this stage to make any edits of this kind to the rubric before the arbcom case is closed and certainly not without discussion. I don't have any views on the rubric apart from the fact that that sort of thing is always posted as a result of consensus.
If you look at my current editing history, you will notice that I have been heavily involved in a lot of content editing, which has required a lot of thought (I have been preparing new material for Contraction (operator theory)). Bearing in mind all these circumstances, including your own involvement, your message on my talk page had too many assumptions attached. As you are a party in this case, please read the discussion on the proposed decision talk page and leave this kind of thing up to administrators who are not parties to the case.
My own reading of the current situation at this point is that Eraserhead1 is trying to manufacture an incident to guarantee that Tarc is topic banned. My personal view is that Tarc should not be involved in any further discussions concerning Muhammad images, but not because of his edits to the rubric on the images subpage. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 20:58, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Amatulic! I saw that you were previously involved in regards to this article's creation/deletion. I strongly believe the editor is the actual band member, and has been at it for some time to see to it that he has his own article on Wikipedia regardless of notability. I feel for this editor..I really do... At the same time, it appears we're going around in circles here, and felt it appropriate to let you know. Thanks. OSU1980 01:24, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Can you explain what you mean by describing the recent vandalism as a "non-malicious content-based edit"? It's exactly the same kind of vandalism (making up offensive and nonsensical plot summaries) that this user (it's the same user operating from different IPs) has been trying to put in the article for months. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
A, did I understand correctly that you moved Average Directional Movement Index and then move protected it to stop a move war? Is that kosher? Dicklyon (talk) 07:52, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Ah, I had no idea Dicklyon had raised this with you: I came here independently to do the same thing. First, I was going to say, it's clear you have a close knowledge of the topic. This is obvious from some your edits, and is to be respected—you've done some good things there. However, when it comes to the use of an admin tool to cement your version of a title when you're clearly involved in the article – and more broadly in the matter of title capitalisation – a serious breach of admin policy has occurred. Have you read WP:INVOLVED, which was part of your undertaking with the en.WP community when you went for adminship? It's a central policy that is designed to protect both admins and non-admins: for admins, its proper application has the immediate benefit of forestalling accusations of CoI and policy breach.
By protecting your version of the title after you seem to have had a minor skirmish with Dicklyon over it, you have indeed prompted this accusation. What is surprising is that you cited "Move war" in your edit summary as a justification, when you yourself have been involved in the "war"—at least in a couple of slow-motion reverts over a while.
I have no intention of taking up the caps issue here—I just don't care enough about it, and article stability is more important than the revert sequence I've seen you engage in. I'm sure Dicklyon has no wish to further engage in a sequence of reverts. But your breach of WP:ADMIN can't be passed over. The only proper thing to do is to undo the protection of the page title and find another admin to consider the matter (and if they think it's right, to protect it).
I ask in good faith that you do this as soon as possible. If there's a problem in interpreting WP:INVOLVED, please ask me and I'll explain (or be put right by you, if I'm mistaken).
And if I may raise another point: you've reverted ?two newbies' edits there over the past few months. One looks reasonable and was adequately explained in your edit-summary; but another few of your reverts had either no edit-summary or a possibly gruff one (just, "we go by what the sources say"). I hope these newbies were not so discouraged that they left, or at least no longer edit. I'm keen to encourage new people to contribute, and I hope you are, too; but perhaps there was a history behind these users that explains it. Tony (talk) 14:39, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Amatulic,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:03, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sir or Madam, The wikipedia page for Music Producer Arturo Alvarez was taken down in bad faith by the author. After researching and writing up the page of an industry colleague he deemed worthy of Wikipedia note, he had a falling out on a personal level with Arturo Alvarez and took down his Wikipedia as act of sabotage against him. I respectfully request that the administrator check and verify the validity of all information contained on Arturo Alvarez’s former Wikipedia page, in order to validate that the page was not taken down because of any lack of integrity, but purely as a result of personal resentment on the part of the author. This same author did the same with the page of Salvador Tercero, a music engineer. He wrote Salvador’s wikipedia page, than took it down due to a personal grudge.
Thank you so much for your attention to this matter.

Hi Amatuilic! I really appreciate your comments. It's really nice of you to look out for me.
You said:
This merits clarification. I don't have any "burning desire" to be an admin. Didn't plat to submit an RFA tomorrow. If we need more admins, I'd we willing to try, but if it seems like we have enough admins, I'm happy to sit back and just edit. I have no interest in blocking, banned, closing RFCs, or anything that controversial I have noticed that I _do_ need ViewDeleted to intelligently participate in XFD.
Everyone has to pay their dues. My need to "view delete" isn't urgnent or case-specific-- it's just something I thinK I can be trustedto do.
But-- I'm at a crossroads. I can't accept being "doomed' to second class because of my wik-political politcs. If WP doesn't weclome me, I could alsom move to a different platform. I think it's preferable to reach out to a coaliston of my fremies and ask what they think about my general "moral responsibility" as a Wikipedia.
If Tarc and others like him want to "sink" my inclusion in to the community, he can-- immediately or a year from now. I won't presume to decide which is the best answer for Wikipedia--- but I want to know whether the communities consideres me 'Welcome' or not. No point in wasting a year just if I'm just going to be rejected-- there are other venues.
I believe in Wikipedia, I want to believe all good-faith editors are on-track to become "full fledged member". If that's no realistic, I'll can always branch outward and find other platform and t start a blog. But I 'want' to join the WP community, if my "political opponents" agree I have the moral character for the job. --HectorMoffet (talk)

Hello Amatulic!
I am a new user and wanted to kindly ask your help to make a correction for Android (operating system) page, Marketing section. As you've marked the article as semi-protected, I still can't make edits to that :) I added Edit Request to the talk page, but I am not sure if anyone saw this yet. I was hoping you can help me edit the page, please.
In Marketing section please change "The Android logo was designed along with the Droid font family made by Ascender Corporation." to "The Android logotype was designed along with the Droid font family made by Ascender Corporation. Android robot icon was designed by Irina Blok, as part of Google marketing team."
Ascender corporation designed the original Android logotype, not the Android logo. Android logo is a little robot character, and logotype refers to the words of a logo (it spells Android). Please add a correction that Irina Blok created the little green robot (known as the "bugdroid" among Android team members) in the fall of 2007. She was a member of Google's marketing communications team, which was helping Android team out with copywriting and graphic design in preparation for the announcement of the Open Handset Alliance on November 5, 2007 and the early look SDK on November 12th.

Hey Amatulic! I could really use some advice on how to deal with an issue that is unfortunately starting to spread to other Wikipedia pages. Essentially I want to know if I have cause to go to the WP:RM page and request the admins there to close what I feel is a premature (and slightly bad faith page move).
Here's the short and sweet: An editor at Talk:Champagne expressed a desire to change all reference to Champagne to lowercase. After he encountered some concern and opposition to his wishes, he still went ahead and unilaterally did what he wanted anyways (Kind of BRD turned into Discuss, Find Opposition, Do it Anyways :P). Thankfully, he just did this once and responded to the plea to let discussion continue so we could have some kind of real consensus emerge. While discussion has emerged and with one editor on his side, one a slight lean, two opposed and some anons/new users chiming in more or less opposed, it is still pretty mixed with no consensus. This would be fine except now this editor has decided to drag this secondary pages involving Champagne and has opened up a page move request for Talk:History of Champagne to lowercase the title. (Kinda odd since the article is also about the winemaking history of the Champenois in the region, but hey) This, again, seems a bit bad faith and a heavy handed way to try to "force" consensus back on the primary Champagne page by getting this page move to go through. So is this cause enough to go to the WP:RM page? What are your thoughts on how best I should proceed? I greatly respect your opinion and if you think I should back down or go another path, I certainly will. AgneCheese/Wine 17:25, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Put the History of Champagne RM on ANI here. Kauffner (talk) 16:16, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
A final final final note (yes I know that is pathetic) I have left a new section on the Alkaline Diet Talk page about the blatant bias there. I had presented the text of the holy secondary source they all love to champion, showing that the source confuses blood pH and body pH. One of the people who have been attacking me there then attacked MY use of the term blood pH, not realizing that I was quoting their favorite secondary source. They actually made a good case why anyone using that term has no idea what they are talking about. They did this to discredit ME, when they actually discredited the very source they have been aggressively defending. It is obvious they are biased. There is a team of them. I am done there. I hope that you know the process to take this further and have them restrained. I don't know Wikipedia well enough to do that, and I also don't care enough to fight that battle. Since you did get involved maybe you want to do something about that. In the end it is clear they are unfamiliar with the diet, yet happy to attack something they don't understand, as evidenced by their questions about the diet. I read three books on the diet. I don't follow it and I'm not promoting it. I just happened to pass by the page and saw something written there that was completely inconsistent with the details of the three books I read. 2 days later and I now understand why that page is so incorrect. 86.93.139.223 (talk) 23:55, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
PS on a personal note I have been to over 50 countries, many of the same ones you have, and I can say there is some good stuff south of the equator, and I hope you get there some day. I am born in Australia so I guess I am biased... 86.93.139.223 (talk) 00:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
A final final note (sorry), I seem to have misunderstood Wikipedia. If a primary source cannot be used as evidence of itself, but a secondary source, which is attacking and criticizing that primary source, in contradiction of the facts of the primary source, is used to define the primary source, what is the point of Wikipedia? Someone said that if 5 secondary sources say that Harry Potter is a girl, then Wikipedia would say that he is a girl, despite the primary source showing he is a boy. Is that the way this thing really works? If so then it seems pretty nuts to me. Maybe the fault is in the setup of the system, not the people using the system? I don't know. As a moderator I assume you understand these things. Perhaps I just totally missed the point of Wikipedia. 86.93.139.223 (talk) 12:50, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Amatulic, thank you for your third opinion on the Alkaline Diet Talk page. As someone new to Wikipedia editing I am also sadly leaving it. I have done my best to provide some logic and reason to the situation there and I have found none forthcoming. I appreciate your attempts to be involved. I don't understand the Wiki system and I have lost patience trying. Below is my last post on this talk page and probably my last on any talk page. I don't know the technical term for it in "Wiki Language" so I will just say that these people seem to want to own that page and anything that does not agree with their negative view of the diet is rejected. I am not the first person to form that opinion on the talk page. I wish you the best in your Wiki adventures. Take care and thanks. 86.93.139.223 (talk) 00:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Thank you Yobol, it is good to see that you are asking me for sources and not providing them yourself. It is good to see that you have demanded them of me in the same sentence that you say that you are not obliged to provide them. It is good to see that you say no one is obliged to prove anything to me while you require me to prove my statements to you. I will do as Ronz does and quote a Wiki page about my viewpoint of this behavior. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard. I also note that while Ronz was happy to make his comments, when he was asked for sources he went silent. I have learned that Wikipedia is not about facts, it is about consensus. The consensus I have seen on this talk page is that this article is biased. I have enjoyed seeing that people who have no knowledge of the details of a diet are able to pass judgement on that diet. I have enjoyed my time as a Wikipedia editor, and like others before me here I leave you now with your precious Alkaline Diet page which you clearly believe you own. In a sense you do own it between the four of you as you block any opinion here other than your own. You all know how to play the Wiki game to get your own way here. I am fortunate that I do not know how to play these Wiki games. I will now go back to my life... 86.93.139.223 (talk) 00:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Check this and this. I don't think that the right amount of people were notified and also those who voted understood the problem (since most of the voting took place before I finished my explanation). I, honestly, didn't expect that I would need to break it down to such a level.
That short referendum doesn't reflect the true consensus, IMO. I tried to explain every point that was and could have been raised, on that AfD page. In short, this article is about a Qur'anic verse. And that should have been the end of it.
Everything else will be people's personal opinion on the translation (probably predicated upon conflicted interest) and interpretation, making the state of its neutrality inherently an unfixable or insurmountable issue. Besides, why repeat same thing in two different articles? Why keep two articles more or less about the same topic? If you read my points carefully (which I hope you'd do) you'll find that it's nothing more than a coatrack article. The thing is, I would like to appeal again for deletion of that coatrack article, so could you tell me where to go from here? Or, could we just do something to draw more administrative attention to it? Please help me. Brendon ishere 16:01, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
"That was my point"- wow! hahahaha!!!
"you'd basically end up with a duplicate article that would qualify for merging."
- I don't like the idea of merging, even a bit. I get it now. Take care. See you at the Muhammad page.
FYI, Could I contact you through your email? If you're not up for it then it's fine. Good..okay bye! Brendon ishere 19:45, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
"You want to delete one article that meets Wikipedia's inclusion criteria"- that's your opinion. I didn't say I “want to delete one article that meets Wikipedia's inclusion criteria without merging the information”. You do understand what it means to refrain from putting words in others' mouth, right?
"You can send me email if it's something that isn't appropriate for public view"
- Are you referring to the possibility of me sending you something obscene and redundant? If that's what you're concerned about, be informed that it won't happen.
The thing is, for some reason I just wanted to chat with you in private. I don't know if that in itself is inappropriate, or not. Brendon ishere 21:10, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Quotations from Sahih Hadiths which are subscribed to by a vast majority of the Muslim world, are not "reliable" if we are talking about Islam? If Sahih Muslim or Sahih Bhukhari are not reliable I don't know what is. Brendon ishere 16:02, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
“According to Islamic law, a man has the "right to discipline" his wife and children, which can include beating them after he has exhausted two other options: admonition and then abstaining from sleeping with his wife.”
— source
Also, the article is about "Islam and domestic violence". That article should state what it says in Islamic doctrine about Domestic violence. The article is not "connection between Islam and domestic violence". Hence, I don't understand you at all. If these are primary sources they are usable. What's the problem? I would like to know where does it say that Hadith is a primary source? Brendon ishere 20:13, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
Can this be used as a secondary source along with other interpretations of the verse 4:34? Brendon ishere 06:55, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
It's reasonable, right? Brendon ishere 07:01, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
"I also demonstrated that there are tons of preferable secondary sources available to make the same point you are trying to make with a collection of hadith quotations."- tons of preferable secondary sources available?? where? Why don't you send me the links and we can work something out. Yup! This is going to be good.
Just for the sake of clarification if you think I'm harassing you or pestering you, I'm ready to leave your talk page, just say so now. (I emphasize this because this question is more than reasonable after my Block. Help me with an honest answer.) Brendon ishere 09:32, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
BTW, 'I don't feel harassed or pestered.'

Hi Amatulic. Here are two sources, the Orlando Sentinel and the St Pete Times, referring to Hot Rod's as a landmark. There are plenty of other articles about it and there are also plenty of articles about Hungry Harry's Famous Barbecue. I haven't even looked for book sources, but I am sure there are those as well.
Both owners are active in their communities and both businesses are involved in charitable activities and festivals. There is coverage for that as well. The owner of Hot Rod's was a commissioner candidate against former mayor of Tampa Pam Iorio, for example. There are plenty of sources on all of this, although many of them are behind paywalls. I tried to use sources that are available online. If there was something advertorial or inappropriate in either article please feel free to remove or alter that content. I wrote articles on these subjects because they are notable and significant eateries well worth including. They are indeed significant landmarks in their communities. Have a nice weekend.

Hi, if you move a page without leaving a redirect, as you did in January to Magic formula investing, please remember to check "What links here". Several articles did link to that name via the redirect at the original page name Magic Formula Investing. That redirect was later deleted by another user, making it even more difficult to find the page. It's usually best simply to leave a redirect; if you can be bothered, tag it with ((R from lowercase)) or similar. – Fayenatic London (talk) 20:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

And therein lies a concern for with I would hope I could get some of your sage advise. I am very uneasy about touching the article ever again because of my potential COI and and anything I put forth being construed as "promotional." However there is a bit more science that could be added regarding the actual extraction and processing of PCSO-524 that could be added to the "history" section. The actual growing and harvesting of the mussels and the extraction process is quite fascinating and certainly unique (read "noteworthy") to this specific marine lipid extract that further goes to explain its content of 92 actual omega fractions (only 30 of with are mentioned). How could I present these added facts without jeopardizing a potential delete query?

Cla68 (talk) 04:39, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Just so you know, unregistered and non-autocongirmed accounts may not move pages at all, so you placed a protection that doesn't actually do anything whatsoever.

Hello! I can close the AfD if you'd like. Let me know. On a side note, I'm always hesitant to dismiss a removal of a speedy deletion tag by a non-author. Obviously the account that removed it is an WP:SPA but my thought is that it's better to take the time that hastily mark articles for speedy deletion. Do you think there's a definable line for reverting non-author removals of speedy deletion templates? OlYeller21Talktome 18:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I replied to your request denial on the whitelist page, but figured I'd write you here as well. Thanks: Thanks for reviewing the case. The third review MAY work. However, just for your information, links 1, 2, and 4 are not actually reviews of the film, but reactions to the trailer. Those reviewers have not seen the film yet and are just working off the trailer and synopsis. I think a review from someone who actually attended the premiere would be an important part of the article. Review #3 seems to be someone who saw some advanced clips, and is dated a month before the premiere. I hope you can reconsider. Thebaueroflove (talk) 02:22, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Hey Amatulic-First thanks for providing so much high quality information on wine and everything wine related. I recently wrote an article on Mouvedre for my company blog and thought it might warrant a mention on the page given the Dr Vino reference as well as others. It's found at http://www.uncorkedventures.com/blog/Mourvedre
Anyway, I thought it would be a "better" approach to contact someone I saw actively editing wine sections and ask for inclusion rather than add the link myself since that clearly looks like Spam.
If nothing else I hope this can be the beginning of a conversation. I am happy to help out in the wine section when possible- — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkAselstine (talk • contribs)

Hi Amatulic! What does that mean? Of course I know that Dischi Ricordi was a subsidiary company of Casa Ricordi, but they're not the same thing and I don't see why so different things should be treated in the same article (Fiat and Chrysler are part of the same company, but we have two different articles). Apart from that, the article Casa Ricordi doesn't even mention what Dischi Ricordi is and why it's related to Casa Ricordi, so that redirect makes no sense: the reader searching for Dischi Ricordi does not get any information more than if the redirect didn't exist (on the contrary, the reader runs the risk of confusing Dischi Ricordi with Casa Ricordi, which are related but anyway different companies). If any information on Dischi Ricordi will be added on en.wiki, it should be put into a new article; in the meanwhile I think the link should be stay a red link. --Una giornata uggiosa '94 · So, what do you want to talk about? 19:28, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Amatulic.
I am writing to you not about my wife Lena Pessoa (yes, she is my wife, and I agree with the fact COI is important for the american wikipedia's community) but about this affair generally speaking.
About that article, before you arrive there with a cool attitude, I had been agressed by 2 censors, I forget their name and you destroy Lena's page, including the "talk" part of it. I just noticed about them, 1 was a Indian from Dehli, signing Eagle something, and watching him, I notice he was not "cultural" at all. The second one, beside being a God Freak, was angry because in certain references I talked about, Lena Pessoa was only referenced in "One" page ! This is the heart or my feeling of today.
If you are a musician, you can use as references a record. Anybody in the world is able to have 1 record printed, you have major companies or louzzy one, you can pay for the publishing of the record, blah blah blah.
If you are a writer, the same constatation apply.
If you are a Scientist, like you, you may have citations in Scientists Newspapers (very important, this is one of the propagation system for Sciences), books with you name, if you are famous ... I would not say that you may have books and be a crook, for instance in France we have these brothers Xxxxxxff ...
And if you are a designer, architect, then you need to proove your work with Books under your name ! a book talking about the more luxuous store in the world where you have 1 page, not even mentioned on the cover, is not good. You cannot reference something like 3 stores in New York, 1 in Miami, 4 in Los Angeles, 1 in Dallas, just to mention Usa, even if you can show pictures on differents internet sites ... Yes, Designers are suppose to be "social", go everywhere to piple a lot, they cannot be quietely in their house, reading books, traveling, waiting for their clients to come to them !!!
So voila my feelings,
A bientôt :-)

There is some ambiguity in Wikipedia's policy on what uncontroversial maintenance actually means, hence I cannot allege that there was some mistake on your side. In any case, I reverted the unexplained move to "Haute tension" by LF (talk · contribs), not discussed or announced nowhere in the acceptable form. Unfortunately, I cannot restore suppressed edit histories, including a quite fine redirect, properly sorted with ((R from other capitalization)). Also, your deletions largely concealed (from non-sysops) LF's actions and his attempts to provide a substantiation for the page move which is now reverted.

Hello Amatulic. I had contested the speedy deletion due to notability of the Rocky Rivera article, and was intending to include more resources proving so, such as [14] and [15], in addition to citing I'm_From_Rolling_Stone. Are those sufficient sources to restore the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quincetessence (talk • contribs) 20:08, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

You marked this edit minor, when it was actually a revert of non-vandalism. This is a violation of WP:MINOR. Please do not use the minor flag except in the case of trivial, uncontroversial changes. This change was neither. Still-24-45-42-125 (talk) 21:17, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello Amatulic, I'm rather concerned about your unblock of Thewolfchild (talk · contribs). Why did you do this without first consulting me as the blocking admin? (as is required by WP:BLOCK#Block reviews). I blocked this editor for his consistently aggressive manner, which was continued in the various unblock requests and an email he sent me asking that the block be lifted about a month ago. I don't impose indefinite-duration blocks lightly, and I think that lifting this block on the basis of a not-very-genuine looking single sentence unblock request was not a good judgement call on your part.

Quick note to thank you for deleting Brown anole leaving way for a page move! (No need to respond.) – Paine (Climax!) 18:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
G'day Amatulic. First of all, thanks for your guidance; I am quite new to the Wikipedia thing (debuted yesterday) so my apologies if I did anything wrong or that generated additional work for you and other moderators. I contested the speedy deletion status due to the page being work in progress while I gathered notability evidence for the Vive la Difference band. They have been selected as participants for Channel 31 music show/competition but is yet to be announced as the show is not airing until several months. As I noticed several articles discussing participants to various notable TV reality shows, I assumed this to be worthy of a Wikipedia page. The page is now deleted but maybe this decision can be reviewed? I did not realized that the tag that was in the header of the article was for the speedy deletion and should not be removed, I have now a better understanding of the way the Wiki works and have been reading the fundamentals on first pages/articles. Sorry for messing up with the tag! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbejac (talk • contribs) 23:50, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, but why did you delete Qaxach Tower? As far as I am aware, that was the original page; Kachaghakaberd was the recent cut-n-paste move of it, not the other way round. I know because in fact I repaired another identical cut-n-paste move just two months ago, histmerging stuff back into Qaxach Tower; back at the time I told editors to file an RM if they wanted it at the Kachaghakaberd location, so I'm now a bit irritated they succeeded in getting their way in this rather out-of-process way.

Hi - you just nominated an article I wrote for speedy deletion 23:55, 23 August 2012 Amatulic (talk | contribs) deleted page Grassroots shakespeare london (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content): Also WP:CSD#G11 - unambiguous promotion) The company is award nominated and making big changes in the London fringe theatre scene. This may not be important to you, but is considered important enough by the judges for recognition or the audiences who watch the shows. It has real significance and has been recognised by prestigious newspapers such as London's The Evening Standard, which has a circulation on 700,000, a significant number on a small island. Furthermore, it is more more 'unambiguous promotion' than the Royal Shakespeare Company having a page. Can you please reinstate this page as your reasons do not seem to make sense.

I hope someday you will go beyond the equator, especially Indonesia. Among G20, Indonesia has stable economy, not as the other countries with decreasing growth because of European crisis following the US mortgage crisis. Indonesia is vast archipelago countries with area same with Europe and is dominated by domestic economy and only a third is come from export. Ludin a New Zealander who married an Indonesian girl is the architect of the stealth technology missile vessel which can runs 30 knots, can overcomes 6 meters wave and do not need deep water. By the way Bali is only one of 33 provinces in Indonesia and you will find any spectacular moments in any other part in Indonesia with 900 more of languages, but more than 90 percent of them speak Indonesian language and understand English in major city. Aviation business growth more than 15 percent a year becuase of people need speed and Low Cost Carrier aircraft are available. Passenger ships is modificated to Ro-ro ships to accomodate the cargo and Indonesian Navy need more missile fast patrol boats which should be built in Indonesia.Gsarwa (talk) 18:20, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you to be honest. Today is safer than a decade ago, but many people who living from any kind of brokerage frequently still blowing the bad issues of Indonesia, because if foreigners make direct business with Indonesia, they will reduce their jobs. Malaysia and China recently make many direct investments in Indonesia because they know well about Indonesia; Malaysia and Indonesia mostly one same ethnic and China has good relationship with Indonesian Chinese Overseas. Indonesian is vast country, so there are many very safe place, but at the other end of Indonesia there are safeless place. Australian tourists is still number one in Indonesia and make Indonesia is their second home country with lenght of stay more than 2 weeks or more. To be objective, in Wikipedia: Global Peace Index, Singapore sets on rank 23, Croatia is 35, Indonesia is 63 and followed by Serbia 64, Bosnia and Herzegovina 65, Albania 66, Moldova 66 and Macedonia 68.

Hello, I'm the person responsible for creating a page for cortandfatboy, a podcast in Portland, OR, which you recently decided to delete. I wasn't aware that the show was the subject of a deletion debate back in 2011. I looked through the comments that were made in the original debate and I think a lot of snap judgments were made. In short, I think there's plenty of solid citations to warrant a page for the show, many of them dating from 2011 - 2012. There seems to be no clear, straight-forward process by which to pitch a new version of a deleted page on Wikipedia. More than anything, I'd just like to know why the new page was so quickly deleted without any sort of proper review? Cheers... Multnomahblues (talk) 10:46, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I participate in reviewing proposed new articles at Articles for Creation. An article that has been proposed, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Crowe & Dunlevy is ready to move to article space as a start level article at Crowe & Dunlevy. The page was salted in 2011 after you speedily deleted a promotional version for the 4th time for A7/G11. The previous page was apparently created by the firm, then a sock (I'm not an admin, so I'm just going off of your edit summary). In any event, I believe that the current article is ready for creation. If you could unprotect the page and drop me a line (either here or on my talk page, I would appreciate it.

Hi, I'm Ironflood. Thank you for your feedback on the link posted. What I didn't understand is how the other external links on wine tasting page are more informative and relevant than the link I provided? Wineta isn't an author blog, the Wine Tasting Guide articles are written by a sommelier who breaks down what wine tasting really is with more information and tips than the Wikipedia article, which is understandable as external links should be used for extra references and additional knowledge.

I very much disagree with the guideline, especially in this case. The guideline essentially says, we cannot refer to polls of user reviews on film aggrating websites, because people may stack the poll. Well, so what? People who like a movie, like the movie, it doesn't matter why. So, in the end, two sets of film reviews on a webpage, (Rotten Tomatoes in this case) side by side, one notable, one not? That's absurd.
Blocking is supposed to be used as a last resort on Wikipedia, not a first one, so your threat here to block me for an edit war you simultaneously call "good faith" and "disruptive/unconstructive", is uncalled for. Not good admin work. You seem to get a lot of that, if your talk page is any indication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.4.30 (talk) 22:43, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Amatulic. I noticed here you advised a blocked anonymous editor to email an account creator to request an account, or create one themselves at another location. The preferred method is actually for them to request an account through the Account Creation Interface, as a) you need to have an account to use the Emailuser function, and b) ACC allows checkusers to confirm that the person requesting the account wasn't the person the block was meant for in the first place. Just letting you know. Hersfold (t/a/c) 05:44, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Dear Amatulic, I noticed that you had reverted some of the edits made by me on the splitting of the moon website. The reason you gave was that you felt that it was hampering the neutral nature of the article. While I cited credible sources that the hoax was propagated on a large scale by a person of eminence Mr. Zaghloul El Naggar. I see all the claims were completely baseless and were propagated on a large scale. Moreover these were even published by Jarfariya News Network- which should serve as a good reference. I fail to see how this affects the neutrality of the article. Infact I feel that not mentioning the source of the hoax/claims is affecting the neutrality. Hence I request you to reconsider the reverts you have made. I even feel that it is only logical to have a explanation about the faults of the claims. If the hoax slayer explanation is not credible enough I shall communicate with NASA Lunar Science institute for a better explanation. However I request you to let the source of the claims be in place. Thanks and Regards --Aditya Saxena (talk) 19:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.
If you have objected to my system-generated "errors" in my use of weblinks, I have corrected those, and my writing now more closely follows Wikipedia's general style.
However, my use of sources which you acknowledge as "reliable" is reliable and honest.
If you find my writing to be "all very interesting", it is likely that others will also find it to be so.
However, kindly refrain from removing truth.
67.91.184.187 (talk) 01:58, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
The facts I have included pertain directly to the core of Robert O. Young’s writings. I have carefully removed any evidence not based upon reliable sources. All my references directly support my statements of fact. I have footnoted nearly every sentence from sources that directly support those sentences. I fail to see how my writing doesn’t exceed any imposed WP:BURDEN.
I am quite certain that I have not synthesized in any way except that which only the most extreme interpreters of the term “synthesis” could accuse me of. If recognizing that Young’s “pH” for vinegar is [likely not WP:CIV, removed by author] akin to stating that an automobile could travel faster than the cube of the speed of light, then I have done so {remember, the pH scale is logarithmic, and yes, that is what the numbers are}. If recognizing that one set of numbers neither coincides nor overlaps with another set of numbers, and stating that fact constitutes synthesis, then I have done it. However, in such an overly strict interpretation of the definition, any sentence construction varying from plagiarism {verbatim copying} would also be liable to the charge of “synthesis”; because any variation from the original author’s words could be argued to be “synthesis”. It seems to me that that is not what Wikipedia is, nor wishes to become: because Wikipedia says that authors should write in their own words, carefully rephrasing reputable sources’ information, so as not to plagiarize (WP:NOR). Nor do I believe that Wikipedia is, nor wishes to become, a hiding place for [likely not WP:CIV, removed by author].
Furthermore, WP:CALC seems to allow precisely this sort of observation , and the “calculation” required is even more essential to the root of mathematical thought (a rudimentary determination of equivalence) than those mentioned there (arithmetic, adding numbers, converting units), because “the calculation is an obvious, correct, and meaningful reflection of the sources.” See Equality_(mathematics)
If you still say that my writing is WP:SYN or fails to meet WP:BURDEN, please state precisely where or how my writing fails. Perhaps you could help?
As you can see, your repeated objections have encouraged me to further refine my writing. THANKS.

Hello, Amatulic. I have just found two emails you sent me on 17 August and 19 September. You may or may not remember that I told you emails sent to that address might wait a long time before I found them, and so it has turned out. (By the way, I also had some trouble figuring out who the emails were from, as your emails didn't use the name in the form "Amatulic", and the original conversation was so long ago that I had forgotten who it was.) I can't see anything else, other than the point you mention, to connect the IP to the two accounts, but I haven't done a thorough check of the editing history, so there may be evidence there.

I'm curious why you deleted the Blyve page. When I first wrote it, I admit, it was promotional in nature (only because at that point I was unaware of the rules). I rewrote it to be completely non-promotional and yet you still deleted it. I would have been 100% open to edits, suggestions, corrections, etc... any chance it can be undeleted and reposted with whatever corrections are appropriate? In all honesty, the pages of competitive products are equally (if not more) promotional than even the first version I wrote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liveblogger (talk • contribs) 22:45, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
IMHO, it would have been better to say, hey...change these two things versus acting so quickly. In terms of notability, write ups aren't the appropriate measure for success.

Hello Amatulic,
Please confirm that you have received my introduction message ending with hope to have motivated you to work in Social BPM mode :-) Noticed by chance that you have been checking posts on Jesus / the Trinity this night (or day, not knowing your time zone). I have recently developed a theory on the Trinity... Would be ok for me to set up a web page to share with you? Not necessarily something for Wikipedia tough... is about comparing the ITIL model with the Trinity... will elaborate on a web page... And sorry for having set up a sub-page instead of using this LOVE functionality. As I said it is not intuitive to find the messaging functionality.... using a heart symbol to write a personal message seems a bit weird to me...

I appreciate your cooperation in restoring the article so that I can work on it.

As for the proposal and your counter, I believe that "the outer edge" contributes to the sentence so I propose: Was - Thermal energy causes some of the molecules at the outer edge of the Earth's atmosphere have their velocity increased to the point where they can escape from the planet's gravity. Should be - Thermal energy increases the velocity of some molecules in the outer edge of the upper atmosphere to the point where they escape from the planet's gravity.

Hi. Could you please protect this page? It was deleted because of this vandal. (76.102.49.177) —Vermount564 Vermount564 Vermount564 14:27, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I have to take issue with your interpretation of WP:PORNBIO. She has never won an AVN award, as far as I can tell - she was merely nominated in two categories, one of which WP:PORNBIO specifically excludes. Further, she still fails to meet the general notability guideline. In my opinion, the original AfD should still apply. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:50, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
Could you please elaborate on your declining the speedy of Daniela Dakich? Your summary said, “notability asserted, and promotional material can easily be removed”. I read the article carefully, and what I saw is that she is a wannabe actress who has played a few (nameless according to imdb) roles. Where do you find asserted notability? And while the article is far from the worst promotion I have seen, I could find little if anything that would be left if the unencyclopedic content were removed. —teb728 t c 04:31, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi! Thank you so much for deleting this page. But do you know why it still shows up in Google search? It was speedily deleted so that's permanent right? Will it be removed from search options soon?

Hi. Thanks for deleting the Akash Maharaj (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akash_Maharaj) wiki entry, but do you have any idea why it still shows up in google search and why the first line ("is a former Yale student whose acceptance was rescinded..." shows up in google search despite the fact that you deleted it? Will the entire entry be deleted at some point? And is this decision final? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonfoerster (talk • contribs) 09:14, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello Amatulic, the article Fusiondirectory, speaks about a free software. You have deleted it, saying that it is a promotion. But this is not a promotion, just a lead to knowledge of the existence of this software, its functionality, the community that develops. Thanks. Poterealpopolo (talk) 08:38, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, could you help me out? I mistakenly nominated Avacor for deletion, here WP:Articles for deletion/Avacor. I immediately withdrew the nomination, and asked for a speedy deletion under G7. In the meantime, another editor User:ReformedArsenal edited the AfD, before it could be speedy deleted. I do not wish to nominate this article for deletion, yet it is being credited to me here as the nominator [21]. Could you please delete this AfD? Then ReformedArsenal can start a fresh one if he wants, I wish him well. Thanks. Logical Cowboy (talk) 03:17, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

you recently deleted a page about a band entitled fraudulence the band is signed, has been featured by radio stations, and has released an album. ARE THEY GETTING IN YOUR WAY!?!?!? maybe let someone finish writing a page before you delete it. sorry for these harsh words but good fight 3 hours of gathering information and trying to make a decent looking page for nothing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spencerbutch (talk • contribs) 07:22, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
please do. i will refrain from publishing it until they have been on national radio station rotation, or qualify according to WP:BAND but they certainly are not a group like the ones described in WP:GARAGE — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spencerbutch (talk • contribs) 07:30, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
I see you declined my move request - maybe you didn't understand what I meant. The film Bad Channels is sitting at Bad Channels (film), yet its soundtrack album is sitting at Bad Channels. If anything, the film should be at the primary topic, and its soundtrack album relegated to Bad Channels (album), not the other way around. --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:43, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Amatulic, I left this as a comment on WP:RPP, but since it got archived without a reply, I'm posting here too. Looking at the page history, I'm only seeing one revert, so how is that an edit war that requires full protection? Given that that specific editor has been contributing to the discussion on the talk page for other discussions as well, I don't see it as a content dispute, merely someone jumping the gun on a discussion. Thanks, Legoktm (talk) 00:33, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
The problem with the silverlock you made it as opposed to the goldlock I requested is that a silverlock doesn't solve the problem. The problem isn't IPs making unnecessary additions, deletions, or vandalism. The problem is autoconfirmed users making adds, deletions or substitutions before a consensus for them has been reached on the talk page (and, since Lvs. 1-3 are full; you can't just add willy-nilly). The only way to force this to happen, I'm afraid, is semi-protection. The problem with this is that this page is a relatively unique case, a project that is a list of a defined size pbp 01:20, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
You have declined the move that I have requested. The page subroutine begin by "In computer science, a subroutine, also termed procedure, function, routine,...". As no other page is named "Routine", it follows from MOS:DAB that this page is the main topic for "routine" and that "routine" should redirect to this page, where a hatnote ((other)) should be added. Therefore I do not understand that you declined the technical move. Please, reconsider your decision. D.Lazard (talk) 22:32, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I don't agree with your speedy deletion of this - I had in fact declined an A7 speedy five minutes before you deleted it, and told the tagger and the author so, because I think the claim of representing both Great Britain and Bulgaria at ice dancing is a "credible claim of importance" enough to pass A7. (Google confirms that it is not a hoax). Unless you object, I would like to restore it, with the BLP-prod I had added. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, yesterday I posted a new article Runcorn RFC. there were no existing articles on this particular Northern Union (or now known as rugby league) club. today I find that the article has been deleted. - no comment on my talk page, no e-mail to let me know, in fact no reason other than "One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page" I have previously written over 500 articles and never come across this action or attitude before.

Thanks for your speedy response. I started the article in my sandbox, transferring it to the user space, and eventually to an article.

Hi Amatulic, I saw some of your comments on WT:CSD and noticed that you're a well-trodden editor here who knows wiki-policies well. I am glad to tell you that most of your views are not so different from mine on the issue. But still, I had some things to clarify. A7 seems to be a very elusive criterion, albeit I'm slowly getting there. As a relatively ham-handed new page patroller who is still grappling with the correct procedure of using criterion A7, I had few queries for you:
I know you're busy with your life outside Wikipedia and I need you to be correct not necessarily quick. Hence, please take your time and ping me when you reply here. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 12:41, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I was searching for some info on the Contao CMS, but I couldn’t find any here, so I decided to create a new article.
But then I noticed it was only deleted recently ('No explanation of the subject's significance').
But according to http://www.cmscrawler.com/tool/ it is a top 15 publishing tool, exceeding most other CMS's on List of content management systems. Before I re-create a page, do you agree this is sufficient 'significance'? And if so, could you please userfy the original page to my userspace, so I can check/rewrite it (as apparently there was also an issue with the content). Thanks! Antheii (talk) 12:03, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
While this is your image, it is a non-free image (due to the presence of a copyrightable logo) and so its display on your userpage is not allowed by our non-free content policy, specifically WP:NFCC#9.

<gallery>
tags you're currently using to link to an image but not display it. The easiest way I've seen listing both free and non-free images done is to just add a list below the gallery and use the same syntax I used for the section title ([[:File:CupNoodle.jpg]]
) to link to it but not display it. You could switch to using a wikitable displaying a gallery (see the first example at Help:Gallery) and then just show a public domain placeholder image (e.g. File:Non-free image placeholder.png or another PD image in commons:Category:Image placeholders) and use the |link=File:CupNoodle.jpg
parameter to link it to your image. Not particularly pretty wikicode, but it would keep it within a gallery along with the rest of your images. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:53, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on my edit at Diploma mill. All the changes I made were very carefully thought out and I did try to only remove information that was redundant or over-detailed, but I can see why it might have been a bit over-the-top. Specifically I was rewording and trimming the sometimes very detailed country-specific legal information in the later sections of the article. Could you give me some tips on how it would be best to proceed if I want to have another go with some of the changes that I made? Also what 'good content' did you mean specifically? (So I can make sure I keep it if I do make any new edits). Thank you! --Noiratsi (talk) 17:29, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Regarding the following which you wrote on Mitantiongrey (talk · contribs)'s talk page: "In particular, your reversion here restored vandal edits by シ シ シ, suggesting you are associated with that other account. Not only did you restore vandalism, but you did so by reverting the attempt of a checkuser administrator to clean it up."
It's not at all obvious to me that the material in question was vandalism. It appears to me to be a plausible improvement to the article — assuming the existence of the ((Georgian Americans)) template, which did exist until it was deleted by Elockid per CSD G5. It is true that the edit was originally the work of a banned/blocked user (シ シ シ) — in which case it can be deleted on sight, and any restoration of the edit is potentially suspect — but I don't see it as clear vandalism. Am I missing something obvious here? — Richwales 02:41, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi, it's me Mrt3366 (Michael) again searching for some advice. I posted a thread on Neutral point of view/Noticeboard about Kashmir conflict, but nobody cared to post a comment with a meaningful conclusion. It has been sitting there for ~6 days. I earlier tried discussing the issue on Talk:Kashmir Conflict also; again nothing meaningful except for an overly diplomatic and inconclusive comment. I tried searching for the right course of action when you don't get a fair hearing, but was unable to find anything in the policies. As you can see I have exhausted most (if not all) other options to reach outside input. What is the point of having a noticeboard to comply with WP:BRD if all it leads to is an impasse (*Jackpot* for filibusters)? BRD even says "BRD is not a policy. This means it is not a process that you can require other editors to follow." I chose to discuss. Was it a mistake?
What is going on? Now before you (or, more importantly, others) scream WP:CANVASS!!; I beg you to use common sense and see that the spirit of this request/query is only to improve an article. The issue in short, currently the article contains a quote which (is)
P.S. You do not need to have any prior knowledge about the subject. I hope you understand my stifling predicament.

I have a little problem with the article for Ramush Haradinaj. It mentions this person as being ethnically Kosovar-Albanian, however the hotlink says "Kosovo-Albanian". I changed it some time ago to "Kosovar-Albanian", per the preferred term on the article Albanians in Kosovo. It was subsequently changed back to "Kosovo-Albanian", but without any mention of this change back in an edit summary. Earlier today I changed it back to "Kosovar-Albanian" because there was no reasoning provided, but User:Nado158 changed it again back to "Kosovo-Albanian", still with no proper reasoning. I contacted him on his talk page asking why he feels "Kosovar-Albanian" is wrong and that "Kosovo-Albanian" should be used instead, referring to Albanians in Kosovo's use of "Kosovar-". He answered on my talk page saying again that it is wrong, and it's a mistake. I asked him for a source, but he has not provided one. Instead, he has now also changed Albanians in Kosovo to "Kosovo-Albanians" as well. Because he wont provide a source, and his language suggests it's his opinion or observation, I'm requesting that you please return the two articles' terms back to "Kosovar-Albanian", as "Kosovar" and "Kosovan" are the two proper demonyms of Kosovo (depending on context, respectfully).

I am 173.206.98.88 (talk · contribs) which added an original piece of information to the Wikipedia text for Bollinger Bands which you have taken down for Spam reasons. How is original content written by myself considered spam? This is important information and factual information, and the only reason I added the source is because you need to add a source to give the writing individual credit for his work! I'm not quite sure why I'm explaining this to you, as I don't know who made you the cop for that page but the text for the Bollinger Bands information I added does not have a specific link but you can find it by checking any stock quote on BullishInvestor.com, then clicking on the drop-down menu under bollinger bands which is located at the bottom right hand side of every pager and you will see it there.
