Thank you for closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Clayton (Actor). Is it unusual that the article still has not been deleted, a week after closure? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I added some citation needed's to John Vanburgh and these were all reverted by User:GiacomoReturned and discussions on the talk page have gone nowhere can you take a look at it please as it look like you've been involved in similar matters before?

Sorry, I hate citation templates and hardly ever use them. I have no objection to anyone changing the format of the footnotes I added, though. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 23:58, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Please review the edits on this article as I believe that the anon is not only adding AGF material (admittedly in an improper fashion) but the submissions have the ring of veracity and insider knowledge. Other editors castigating the contributions as "objectionable" is a bit much. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 00:55, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear Cirt, with the very useful help of your collegue and administrator Peter I renamed my account as you asked (it is now not a 'moral person' anymore). I sent you an email but did not get any reply, and my account still seems to be blocked (I can edit, but my name appears in red, and it says that I am blocked and that I need to contact you). Now that I have made the modification you asked, could you please unblock me? Sorry for the disturbance, best regards,

Hi Cirt, I didn't see the point in posting him there. Tim Song banned him from the topic but I blocked him for the other edits that identified him as our determined friend.

Since I've noticed you have been doing this quite a bit lately, I have not relisted any of these on the log for the 1st today except this one. Since the article survived a previous AFD, I think we should give it another week just to be certain that consensus really has changed.
As far as doing this in general, IMHO if the nominator's rationale is sound and nobody impeaches it or otherwise objects to the deletion, then they should be closed "delete", even if there are no !votes at all. However, such articles should be refundable since you can't really call one delete !vote a "consensus" but the 2 times I have tried proposing this, it's been rejected. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:14, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
we are the devotees of Paramahansa Srimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Dev, who is one of the most revered and beloved Gurus from India. Recently i found that his page "Paramahansa Srimat Swami Nigamananda Saraswati Dev" has been deleted from Wiki.
My sincier request to you and Wiki, to restore the page. If you have any concerns about the content on the page please let us know. If we have not provided necesssry references, then it may be due to our mistake, or we never found out that the page needs some kind of citation or something like that nature. But that does not diminish or falsify the information we provided about our GURU.
Please restore the page , and let us know what are the things you need to adhere to wiki's standards.

I was told to contact you directly regarding the deletion of the "Michelle DeFraites" page. You were the one who apparently closed the discussion. I tried a "request for undeletion," to no avail.
Apparently, her page was deleted because she was not "notable" enough, although I am not quite sure what that criteria is. Since the original article was posted, she has starred in the record-breaking Lifetime movie "The Pregnancy Pact." It can be verified through IMDB or mylifetime.com. She is also now one of the Disney Channel MovieSurfers (verify it on www.moviesurfers.com.) Please undelete this entry so that we can update her information. Thanks!!
Sgdiii (talk) 21:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
I saw the discussion; it was only one or two comments. I no longer have access to the original page to work on; that's why I was requesting it be undeleted. Where might I find the guidelines on what is considered "notable" enough? Sgdiii (talk) 21:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help. I have tried to reference as many things as I can. I am new at this, so forgive me if the references are not the type they should be; I am trying.

One of the reasons why the Wikiproject was helpful was that some sourcing issues stretched across multiple articles in the Prem Rawat topic, so having a central discussion was very helpful. That kind of issue doesn't really exist with the TM topic, but there may be other benefits. Let me think about it and maybe I can put together a proposal. Will Beback talk 01:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
I see that you've deleted the page I wrote on Ian Bremmer's new book, The End of the Free Market. I was traveling out of the country when it was nominated for deletion and missed the chance to contribute to your debate. I work for Ian Bremmer, who is a political scientist and academic. He asked me to post factual information about his bio and his new book. We did not realize that this would be seen as promotional, but merely meant to add factual information to Wikipedia. Is there any chance we can discuss this in more detail and resubmit it (or another version) for reconsideration, now that the book has been formally released this week?
Please let us know how to best proceed. We did not mean to offend anyone or do something that goes against Wikipedia's policies. But we do want there to be factual information out there about state capitalism and Ian's thoughts on the matter.
Many thanks, JaneEG —Preceding unsigned comment added by JaneEG (talk • contribs) 20:37, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
Request to reconsider deletion of Cage(BDSM)...
I don't believe this article should have been deleted, it is a legitimate sub-culture within bondage and has many unique features. The reasons given for deletion were "Reads like advert" and "no sources". The article does not read like an advert, the text is not vendor specific, does not suggest that the reader make a purchase and if anything suggests by emphasizing the expense of this item that a person should not be encouraged to purchase it. If advertisements were like this, businesses would pretty soon go out of business.
It is true that the article contains no sources, however if that were used as the sole criteria thousands of Wikipedia articles would be deleted. As an example the article "Bondage Hood" does not reference any sources but contains much useful information and it would be a shame if that were removed.
As you can see I don't have a Wikipedia account and am just a humble reader. But the fact that one person feels that the original article contained something useful (fortunately I found it in Google's cache), should surely be a good argument for it's reinstatement. I agree that it would be nice to see it expanded as an example see this text
article/1009678/bdsm_a_guide_to_caging_your_male_or.html?cat=7 on the associatedcontent.com site.
I am not sure how to correctly reference this article in Wikipedia, but I feel that it could be incorporated into the undeleted article to provide better insight into the role of cages within BDSM.
I respectfully request that you reconsider this deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by67.189.191.188 (talk) 23:48, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Cirt, I see you were the deleting administrator for the BugNET article I started http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=BugNET&action=edit&redlink=1 I am quite frustrated by this as I do not think the article received any kind of fair discussion. Myself and a couple of other people attempted to fix all inadequacies and believe we did so. In the end, the discussion page just had a few random people saying to the effect 'the article has no merit and looks a bit like an advertisement'. If the standard by which the article was judged was applied to similar pages, every single entry in this table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue_tracking_systems and every single article linked off it must be deleted also. Can you please justify the action taken against an article about a piece of free software, started by myself, who is unrelated to the authors of the software? Is there a way to restore the article and related pages so it can receive fair assessment over time? The initial deletion nomination came shortly after my first edit, well before the article was completed. GregDude (talk) 05:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear Cirt:
I request your reconsideration regarding your deletion of the article Shabby Chic (brand). As I stated in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Shabby_Chic_(brand), the article was created at the suggestion of another editor, User:Ukexpat in order to distinguish the SHABBY CHIC brand from the descriptive use of the term. I respectfully request that you undelete the article and await the comments of User:Ukexpat, who has not yet had an opportunity to address this article.
Additionally, I believe it is unsufficient to simply delete the article without responding substantively to the comments I posted in the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Shabby_Chic_(brand) discussion, and accordingly, I request that if you maintain that the article should remain deleted that you explain why you have done so.
Thank you.

Hi, Cirt -- I'm writing to ask you to reconsider undeleting the Edward Kotlyanskiy article. I have been speaking to the author in IRC. He presented http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessplayer?pid=126201 as an additional third-party source for Kotlyanskiy's record.
I didn't see the original article. The deletion discussion appeared to conclude that notability had not been established. I think notability is implicitly established under WP:ATHLETE, and confirmed by the fact that every other winner of the ICCF championship listed at Correspondence_chess#ICCF_World_Champions also has an article. (I know, other stuff exists, but this seems like a strong pattern toward assuming notability for winners of this particular championship.)
Please let me know what you think, and whether you think I have misunderstood the issue. Thanks. Tim Pierce (talk) 18:26, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Dear Cirt,
I just noticed that you have deleted the page "Dao (programming language)". I wonder if the sharing of a common name with the abbreviation of Data Access Object is the main reason for the deletion, but they are two quite different things, I don't see there how people can get confused between them. Moreover there is disambiguation page, otherwise, what's that for?
For notability, I neither think it is a strong reason for a deletion of such page. There are so many languages listed here List of programming languages, I doubt all of them have better notability than Dao.
If the article need to be improved, I would be gladly to do so. Please reconsider if it is really necessary to delete this article. I would appreciate very much if this page can be restored.

Hello, sorry if this is not the place to discuss this I am new to Wikipedia. I have the impression that you keep reverting an edit I have made to the list of scientologists, adding comedian Andrés López. The second time I added him I wrote that the Wikipedia article has all the references, and the third time I directly put the references that prove his involvement with scientology. However, the last message from you states that I am making edits without citing sources and that my IP might be blocked. How is that so? I used the ref tag correctly, and the references could be seen. I don't understand what are you refering to. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.124.9.215 (talk • contribs)

Yes, I know. That article was a one-sentence page on Wikipedia subject for deletion prior to me editing it. I added some information, and then it got marked as having a conflict of interest. From that point, I stopped editing it and haven't touched the article since March of 2009. There have been other editors that fixed the article. This is all before I knew the ins and outs of Wikipedia and the importance of the Talk pages. I hope this clarifies things.

Hi Cirt,
You deleted my page for Zacks Investment Research. I am still a novice when it comes to creating wiki articles and I tried to follow the guidelines the best I could. I rewrote the article and if you can offer some of your expertise for this new one, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have created a temporary page for Zacks Investment Research on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rexjoec/Zacks_Investment_Research and I was wondering if you could offer some feedback about this one before I move it to the article space?
I followed the same format and used similar wording as related wiki pages such as TheStreet.com wiki page and The Motley Fool wiki page. If you think it is in jeopardy of being deleted, then I would like to know what is wrong and if it is any different that TheStreet.com or The Motley Fool where their pages were accepted.
Please let me know if this new version of Zacks Investment Research is good enough to become accepted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rexjoec (talk • contribs) 19:02, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

I am entirely new to the Wiki game, but the aforementioned "Chris Hartman" page was brought to my attention a couple of months ago as it was about me. I see now the page has been deleted, owing largely to the lack of a "Fairness Campaign" page and the confusion surrounding if the "Christopher Hartman" cited as having worked for Congressman John Yarmuth's campaign was the "Chris Hartman" of the Fairness Campaign. ("And are we sure that the Christopher Hartman who worked for John Yarmuth is the same Chris Hartman that heads the Fairness Campaign? The source cited attributes the information to a blog, which no longer exists. Are there any sources that mention Hartman in the context of both? I couldn't find any, and it struck me as odd that the Hartman associated with the Fairness Campaign was almost always spelled 'Chris', while the one associated with the Yarmuth was almost always spelled 'Christopher'. I was only able to find 4 results that mentioned a Hartman in the context of Yarmuth, so I'm not sure how notable that is either.") While I used "Christopher" during the Yarmuth campaign, I began using "Chris" when i took the position with Fairness. This PDF of the Fairness Campaign's newsletter, found on the Fairness Campaign's website (http://www.fairness.org/Portals/19/Newsletters/Feb09.pdf) references both positions and the same person. WIthin the next couple of months, we will have submitted a "Fairness Campaign" wiki page. CLH2030 (talk) 18:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Cirt, I'm in agreement with you that it is best to keep in straight chronological order, however I did substantial reorganization of that topic. I probably removed three or more paragraphs (mostly redundant or irrelevant) and there are still three paragraphs left. This section can probably be easily compiled to a single paragraph or less, then reinserted chronographically. Additionally, since the actual event, and the controversy happened in two time periods with other events in-between, perhaps it makes sense to have a seperate section.

Hello, My page on Stuart Riordan was recently deleted because one of the reviewers felt there wasn't enough "significant coverage." I have posted the sources I used below. I agree that I needed to supply the dates of publication on 3 of these articles; however, I disagree with the notion that these articles do not constitute "significant coverage." One of the reviewers said he could only locate references to Riordan in calendars and that there were no articles about her or featuring interviewers with her. He is wrong. He simply googled Riordan. The articles I used were written by third parties about Riordan and some featured interviewes with her. However, they have not been digitized and so are not available online. I got them the old fashioned way: off microfilm. Riordan's partial list of exhibitions lists 36 shows--hardly insignificant. I spent a great deal of time working on this article and I'm frustrated that it was pulled. I am a professional writer (see http://www.amazon.com/Lu-Vickers/e/B001JS6SS0/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1 ) and do not take my work lightly. Please let me know what I can do repost my article.

Hi,
I am the person who originally created the article on quidco, I have also contributed heavily to the reward website article. I don't believe you have given a proper reason for deleting the article. The article you linked me to seems to suggest that you think I am in someway involved in quidco. Nothing could be futher from the truth and you have no evidence that I am. So could you please give a valid reason for deleting the article, one that is grounded in evidence. Thank you
I'd like you to also answer the following question. Why does wikipedia allow articles on cashback websites operated by large corporations like Microsoft (see: (Bing Cashback and not these 'more notable' smaller ones like quidco? That is bias! I tried to explain the reasons why this should not be allowed to happen on wikipedia and I don't believe the rules allow this disparity to exist. I made the following comment in the last AfD.
" Quidco, were the first cashback website to introduce 100% cashback, most cashback websites at the time offered 50%. On purchases such as mobile phones1 this was a considerable saving. This created a trend, as rivals, most notably, rpoints tried to compete by offering a 'Highest Cashback Promise, and FreeFivers who created a new website, The Cashback Junction. The effect quidco had is also reflected in Alexa rankings, who now report quidco as recieving more traffic [2] than rpoints. So even without the biased media on the company, it is notable because of the effect it had on companies and on an industry which is notable, per guidelines on WP:CORP Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice ... Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information from reliable sources that provide evidence of notability; however, smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations"

Hi, I'm the creator of the abovenamed article. I've been travelling for the past 2 weeks and so wasn't able to participate in the "deletion discussion" that the article had generated.
I find it regrettable that the article has been deleted. What I find really strange are the comments of the two folks who suggested and encouraged deletion.
I went to great lengths to read up past encyclopedia articles (such as "Encyclopedia of Islam" and "Britannica") on Sufi orders and their branches to ensure that my article did not come across as a partisan attempt at recruitment. Besides, Wikipedia is not the place to "set up shop" for recruitment to a Sufi order as user “Guy” states! The accusation of "half-translated from Arabic" by user "MelanieN" is completely baseless. Apart from the litany of the order, nothing else was translated from the Arabic.
What I find totally puzzling are use of the phrases “barely comprehensible” and “basically unreadable” to describe the article by the users “MelanieN” and “Guy”. Not understanding the terminology being used in a subject matter should not give one the license to spew phrases such as these. Please correct me if I’m wrong in saying this.
I made an effort to ensure that I followed the guidelines set out by Wiki with regards to new articles. I did my research, made sure my sources were in tact and credible, and penned the article.
As the person who deleted the article, I would appreciate from your goodself a bit more information on why the article was eventually deleted. I’m only requesting this as unlike many article creators who simply pop up and write rubbish articles, I made a conscientious effort to read-up the subject matter and tried to write an objective article on a social/spiritual group that deserves more research in the academic realm.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on how to revive this article as I feel that an important aspect of South Indian, Sri Lankan and Far Eastern Islamic spirituality landscape is being ignored. It is an important subject NOT because I say so. I’ve personally visited Sri Lanka where I’ve seen the role that this particular Sufi order has been playing in that society for over a hundred years. And I believe Wikipedia is an avenue to record this.
I apologise for the length of this post.

It's good that you are bold in contributing to Wikipedia! Patrolling edits are a useful contribution to the community, and I'm glad to see it done.
However, you may wish to exercise some care when doing so. While removing objectionable and unverifiable material is important, think about the advice offered in Citing sources:
The list of precepts that I added is in no way harmful. With Scientology's history of litigation I understand if you are worried that Wikipedia may be sued, but it seems unthinkable that they would sue over a short, factual summary of TWTH's beliefs. The ((fact)) tag is quite simple (and common!) to use, see the template page for instructions.
You are mistaken that the list is non-notable: if the organization itself is notable enough to have an article, then certainly their core beliefs would warrant inclusion. Anyway, notability does not directly limit article content; see Wikipedia:Notability for more on this. You may, of course, suggest that the article as a whole be deleted, but I think the organization has generated sufficient controversy to be notable; this would be an uphill battle for you.
Your claim that it is unencyclopedic is a bit nebulous. The list is relevant, concise knowledge about the subject. It's not worded as advertising and doesn't break any other of the guidelines at WP:ENC. If you disagree about this or the above point, feel free to argue your case. I will post a version of the two points on the article talk page.

Why would you delete a page about an annual event that involves hundreds of people? It either takes place or it doesn't. It's been written about in the newspaper — including the New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle — and covered on NPR. Those organizations weren't simply promoting themselves (as you accuse us of doing), or the event. So if you felt our edits to the page represented a conflict of interest, you could have 1) deleted the edits, or any information that you felt was too self-promotional, and/or 2) blocked our account. But why delete an entire page about an event that hundreds of people attend every year, and that other Wikipedia users would want to know about? That makes no sense. There are dozens of other film festival pages in Wikipedia. If they deserve pages that are spared deletion by people like you, why doesn't ours? If you can explain what the criteria for having a film festival page on Wikipedia are, we can meet them. But if you summarily delete the page without such criteria, then you are just being arbitrary, capricious, and overly zealous. You're not hurting us as much as Wikipedia users who might have wanted to know of the existence of our film festival, and now won't. And that's good exactly why ...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.192.186 (talk) 04:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
We had an account on Wikipedia, and you blocked it. It's a little disingenuous to tell us to register yet again. We'd happily use the old account if it weren't blocked. And we had a page up there that represented a "draft" of sorts, in that it was a basic page that we were adding to, and that others were allowed to add to and otherwise edit. You took it down. Now you want us to start from scratch? That seems a little backwards. If you thought the existing page needed editing, you could/should have edited it. Do you really think that what would go in a "proposed draft version" would be significantly different from what was up there? If it still exists in some form that you can see it, go look and figure out what part(s) of it were "wrong", and how we could describe the Anti-Corporate Film Festival without including them. THAT'S what you should have done the first time around. Sending everyone back to the drawing board just so we can replicate the basic facts about the festival — when it started, who started it, how long it lasts, where it happens, who can participate, etc — is pointless: There's simply not that much variation in the basic information. If you truly are looking for something that amounts to an encyclopedia entry, the basic information doesn't vary all that much. We included no superlatives, comparatives, calls to action, etc. It was just the facts. Apparently that wasn't good enough. Again, if you can explain why that page had to be deleted while dozens of other film festival pages are allowed to exist unmolested (by you, anyway), we'd be grateful — and frankly, a bit surprised. We don't think you can do it, and assume you just have a personal bias against anti-corporate views. If we're wrong about that, you should be able to explain how we can create a page to allow Wikipedia users to learn objective information about a significant event. Just telling us to start over again doesn't really tell us anything, now does it ...? ˜˜˜˜ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.192.186 (talk) 07:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Cirt, Howdy! I am John, and I have been tasked with the assignment of creating a Wikipedia page for Trekease. It is for my final capstone course. I was on Wikipedia and I came across Wikipedia pages for The Scooter Store, Home Depot, Trek, and so many other companies. My aim is more so to cite the research done by UT and Rutgers students regarding the physics that underlies the development of the exercise contraption they have been developing. Furthermore, my aim is to promote the health benefits of exercise and fitness for wheelchair users, like myself. What is the best way for me to do this without violating the rules of Wikipedia?

Hello, With 4 delete, and 3 keep, the game was close. But when we see that none of the users on the delete side (WikiDany61, 137.122.49.102, Savonneux, or SnottyWong) seems to speak Chinese. On the other side, all Keep users (Benlisquare (李博杰), Asoer, and myself (Yug)) are Chinese speakers, at least fluent, and involve in the Chinese communities/countries. The 2 wikipedia experts on the field of East Asian calligraphy, Stroke order, CJK stroke: me and Asoer support the keep. I think the expertise is clearly on the keep side. The deletion process is NOT a purely quantitative vote, that's a debate, where expertise have its place. Delete this article is a very "English/western centered" position.
The minimum is to userfy the page in user:Asoer space, to let him, the author of this page, complete calmly his work. --Yug (talk) 05:58, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cirt - I was hoping that you may be interested in taking part in the July 2010 Copyediting Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, there were about 30 editors that helped remove the ((copyedit)) tag from 1,175 articles. However, we still have a backlog of over 7,500 articles that extends back two and a half years into early 2008; we're hoping that you'd like to particpate in reducing the backlog of articles that require copyediting! Any and all help in the drive is greatly appreciated, as we need all the help we can get to reduce the number of tagged articles. Copyediting just a couple of articles can qualify you for a barnstar, and more prestigious awards are available for those who extensively copyedit. Thanks for your consideration! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 19:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I was wondering why did you delete the "Emmanuel(spirit)" page. It's a genuine article about a belief, just like the articles about Saints and about Biblical figures. Can I put it back? I don't see why it was deleted.It was a translation of an article in portuguese. Emmanuel is the author of dozens of books on Spiritism, so his literary existence can be proven.
Emmanuel has written dozens of books in portuguese and is a famous figure in Brazil, not only in literature but also in news programs. His authorship of dozens of books has been accepted by the Brazilian Writers Association, even though he presents himself as a spirit. The article that was deleted is a direct translation from the article in the portuguese wikipedia, and it wasn't erased there because there is ample proof of the existence of Emmanuel in Brazil. It is accepted as truth. So, I don't see why an article about Emmanuel would be erased if no one erases articles about unprooven Biblical passages.
The explanation for the deletion, as I read it, was that there was no proof of Emmanuel except for a few spanish terms. I don't get it. Spanish has nothing to do with this. Most articles about him are in portuguese. Hundreds of articles. Emmanuel is a brazilian figure, a character, that some believe exists, others don't. But the article states that very clearly. And there is ample reference to him, his books and his existence, in the brazilian media. And it's exactly because you won't find this character in english that I wrote the article. So that people will be informed about him. I can't see why it would be deleted, if the article only adds more information to the english internet. Is it a wikipedia policy to censor articles about things americans don't know about? Just research Emmanuel in portuguese, and you'll find a lot of information.
I hope you reconsider it...

Hi,
I checked into the Knight and Day wiki page.
I would like to know why there are no positive reviews being put up in that page.Ever since the premiere of the movie happened and the reviews started pouring in the web, only negative reviews are posted here.
I accept that there are negative reviews for the same. Iam requesting from a movie fan point of view, that please include the positive reviews of the film including the famous critic Roger Ebert.
And there are other famous critic than those which you had listed under the critical reception.
Also, in the starting phase of the page, please modify the contents to make it look neutral for all people worldwide alike.
Sorry if i had spoken anything wrong.
I felt it is not fair to comment on a movie purely on negative traits by putting the comments , if there are positive reviews for the same
Please reply for the above. I would like to ask your permission to unprotect this page for editing and making this a good page to make the contents look neutral, as it is the policy of wikipedia too and they support it.

Can you give permission for me to edit the reviews section (critical reception) and also for the page if possible.. so that i will do the edit and show it you to approve.
Thanks so much
These are the details. If u can add , it is great
Chicago Sun times critic Roger Ebert rates the movie 3 stars out of 4 and says "Knight and Day" aspires to the light charm of a romantic action comedy like “Charade” or “Romancing the Stone,” but would come closer if it dialed down the relentless action. The romance part goes without saying after a Meet Cute contrived in an airport, and the comedy seems to generate naturally between Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. But why do so many summer movies find it obligatory to inflict us with CGI overkill? I'd sorta rather see Diaz and Cruise in action scenes on a human scale, rather than have it rubbed in that for long stretches, they're essentially replaced by animation.

Cruise's presence also helps keep things light, breezy and watchable when the action -- and the story itself -- spin ridiculously out of control.

Dear Cirt, CheFEM is a FEM based simulation program for chemical interaction driven FEM simulation of polymer based nano, micro and macro materials. It is a similar program like Abaqus, NASTRAN and Ansys, a program you may be more familiar with. It is quite new (an end-user version has just been released) so this might also be reason why it is not known very well. Hence, I would like to invite you to undelete the delete action for the CheFEM page. On the short term, several scientists will add more information on CheFEM to enhance the quality of the page.

Previously speedy deleted page, that even though has had a lot of work on it fails WP:GNG.
The ref's given are as follows :
* GRACE Related Projects: InTopSens - is at least part written by the article's creator and member of the project.
No, that is un unfair and untrue assumption. I have nothing to do with Grace.
* Quadriga Newsletter - the project is mentioned only in one 5 line section in a 7 page newsletter.
Thats because there is a lot of work going on in many projects, 1000s, but each are taken up with 10's or 100s of thousads of hour of work.
* Blood poisoning bacteria identified faster has the feel of a press release.
* Farfield to Join New Research Consortium called "INTOPSENS" also has the feel of a press release.

This is part of a long-running spam project aimed at inserting promotional articles on European research projects.

This is not SPAM. This is a European Commission funded project! We have cut the jargon back as far as we can without it losing scientific credibility. Of course its 'forward looking' as its a RESEARCH project, its not the result of work! If you want we can put the achievements to date, the project is now half way through and we have partial results already. We can put: "The consortium has developed a compact polymer and silicon based CMOS compatible biosenor chip for a Lab on a chip platform...."

Unless she spent at least one year of her life in a state of suspended animation, this is obviously not true (people age at the same rate as the planet, 20.5 years had elapsed by Jan 1952, she really couldn't have been under 20!). I have twice tried to amend this obvious error, but you keep undoing my good work. A little overzealous, perhaps? The sentence I am changing is not a quote, but a statement and one that clearly conflicts with the rest of the encyclopedia entry. The message "Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed." must be taken subjectively - I must have mislead you in the appearance of my edits, they were in no way supposed to constitute vandalism, but good intentioned correction of an obvious mistake. I might say that "your editorial efforts appear to constitute weak thinking, or incompetence', but again I am sure this is subjective and not what you meant. If this is purely because I haven't logged in, maybe you could do some sums, demonstrate to yourself that the sentence I want to edit is in conflict with the rest of the article and then amend it using your holier-than-thou login?

Hi,
Deleted by you, I think a month ago, was the article for Ken Buck. Since then he is now beating his primary opponent Jane Norton and the two Democrats in polling for the Colorado race. I am a newbie and only got into this because after attempting to research him I thought it ridiculous that he would not have a Wikipedia page and decided to take the lead in trying to put one together. I had voiced my complaints at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Ken_Buck and am now trying this channel (which I now know I should have pursued first). I wrote a short article this morning at Ken buck (lower case last name) on accident and think it would serve as a good starter for the real article if deletion is reversed.

Greetings, I missed out on the critique of my page and claims, and it's been deleted in early June. Since then I've scanned in and accumulated a bunch of information that i'd like to supplement my page with (with respect to my claim (fact) that I created the first drag-and-interface for Windows in 1989. In addition, my page had information related to other matters of public record related to performance art, an international performance art journal, and the works of Allan Kaprow, Fluxus and other artists...
So I'd appreciate if the page could be reinstated/undeleted so that I can add supporting information. It could then be re-subject to whatever review is appropriate.

Oh well, I got de-adminned, but I got 8 barnstars, so that's a wash. I'm not sure what I'd rather have - 8 barnstars is a lot.
Oh and sorry about your article there. I myself have lost an article that I worked on and liked, so I know it's not a fun feeling. Nothing personal, just business.

Hey Cirt, I'm curious about your deletion at the Jason Lee article (diff). From WP:BLP is the line "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation." The stuff you deleted you is almost entirely a listing of Jason Lee's acting career and not very likely to be challenged. There are a couple of lines that would benefit from a proper citation like the one about him turning down the My Name is Earl part twice but those could have just been deleted by themselves and not the entire section. Is there something I'm just not seeing here? Thanks, SQGibbon (talk) 00:39, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Please read Don't template the regulars especially the line "On the other hand, most editors who have been around for a while are aware of these rules. If you believe that they have broken (or are about to break) one, it is frequently the result of some disagreement over the interpretation of the rule, or temporarily heated tempers. In such situations, sticking to 'did you know we had a rule against this' mentality tends to be counterproductive in resolving the issue, as it can be construed as being patronising and uncivil." This in response to your edit here. Thanks, SQGibbon (talk) 01:55, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Please do not give warnings to editors when they have done nothing wrong as you did with User talk:216.228.12.3 here. The edit the user made here was not only factual but supported by at least two sources on that page.

"Looks a little bit better, though there still appears to be lots of unsourced bits. -- Cirt (talk) 12:48, 5 May 2010 (UTC)"
I've made some edits to the page since then, removing comments that could be interpreted as subjective by nature and adding in additional references to substantiate content. Please consider whether the page now meets inclusion criteria.
Mmbcn (talk) 10:32, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Have added additional source reference for the history section and citations have been moved behind punctuations. Mmbcn (talk) 15:19, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I've checked through the references and filled-out information as available. Some weblinks don't have all of the field-info at source (work, publisher, etc) but I've put the maximum details available, at least surpassing Cite web's minimum url and title required parameters in most cases. Other reference types are now generally richer in content. Mmbcn (talk) 17:25, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Yes, better with the lead; it made sense to get rid of the introduction to create it. I assume the lead section would be a good place to put an image if something relevant could be found, though rather than squeeze something not-quite-right in now, I'd prefer to go with the format as it is at present if that seems ok as it stands. Mmbcn (talk) 15:33, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

For the details about just the actor being in the film, I don't think that we need a direct citation. Readers can visit DVDs or go to the movies to see that a person played a character in a film. If we want to state something to the effect that the actor received great praise/criticism for their role, then any comments related to that should definitely be sourced (especially for a BLP). The details of actor starring as x in x film are not really controversial (unless, for example it was a mainstream actor going off and starring in like a pornography, something that a reader might question). We wouldn't need to add a citation to wonder if Tom Cruise was in the Mission Impossible films, but we would need to cite that the film made x number of dollars or the type of critical reception he received. Again, we shouldn't use IMDB for citing details, as usually the same information is available in citations such as movie review, film journals, books on film history, etc. I think you have already addressed the more pressing issues of the uncited details of the two biographies, so the best thing to do is just replace any instances of IMDB with a better source. --Happy editing!

When I opined in that thread with you and Jimbo at WP:BLPN I didn't realize that you were apparently targetting the BLPs of reputed Scientologists. Although I think its ok to remove unsourced content from BLPs, we should make an effort to source it, not just remove. Also, I don't know if you read Wikipedia Review, but there are a couple of recent threads there about Wikipedia's treatment of Scientology that mention your involvement that might benefit from your input if you feel so inclined.

I'm concerned about the deletion of the Sveasoft entry. While it's true that use of the software might be illegal due to power issues, and that the one-man owner is perhaps not playing things straight, the fact is that if there's no article about Sveasoft on Wikipedia, people won't realize that. Information is power, and ignorance is dangerous.
I'm dismayed on a personal level because I actually paid Sveasoft to license their software last week, not realizing the sort of business they ran. I tried to research them on Wikipedia but found no article ... I guess it had been deleted a couple of days earlier. I'm a living example of the reason the article should exist -- not necessarily to defame Sveasoft, but to inform people of its nature and what's behind it. Deleting the entire article helps no one.

I decided I was going to make a page about a not really well-known programming language called Nimrod. Only when I started to go to the nonexistent page to create it, it says there was a previous creation that was deleted, accrediting the deletion to you. The history seemed a little vague... something like few references I think. May I ask why the page was deleted? I'm the co-admin on Nimrod's wiki.
PrincessSchala (talk) 06:49, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, if the original article did not cite any links, I can see why it would be deleted. However, if it needs more than a webpage link to satisfy notability, well... It just seems rather odd proof of existence of a language would require more than citing an actual compiler for it. Yes, Nimrod is in its infancy, but how popular it is or unpopular it is should not factor in to whether or not Wikipedia should have a page for it. As for me, I'm not good with how complex wikipedia articles are -- style info, templates, etc. so, I can't say whether or not I could do any better since I can't view a previous version of the deleted page.

Could you elaborate on your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lindsey Cardinale (2nd nomination), because I feel there is no obvious consensus based on the arguments provided. I feel this should have been closed as no consensus because two delete arguments were made before reliable sources were found and then after they were found none of the delete arguments said it did not pass WP:GNG even though there were multiple third-party reliable sources and none of these arguments addressed that the article passed criteria #1 of WP:MUSICBIO. At worst the article should have been redirected to American Idol (season 4) since there is another article that it could be redirected to. I would advise in the future you need to have a longer explanation of an AfD closure if there are votes on both sides thus making the closure not a clear cut closure. This would also avoid having editors coming to your talk page to need further explanation. Aspects (talk) 03:13, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cirt,
I'm concerned about your decision to merge the Schlumberger Business Consulting article with the Schlumberger article. I was an intern at Schlumberger Business Consulting for the past 6 months, and I really think the two entities should be separate, as they don't have the same activity (one is consulting, the other engineering services), and Schlumberger Business Consulting is a separate business unit from Schlumberger, both in its management and in accounting. No conflicts of interest here: I was just an intern, I am now to go back to business school for another one year before I graduate. Furthermore, I've noticed that the French article for Schlumberger Business Consulting is independent from the French Schlumberger article. Hence, for matters of consistency, I have reestablished the independent Schlumberger Business Consulting article. Feel free to comment, so that we can discuss on how to improve this article and make it neutral and informative.
Sincerely,

I'd like to query your deletion of Mohd Zaidi Napiah. I see the consensus was for deletion - but I feel this was contrary to policy.
The nominator seems to reason that the page be deleted purely because he or she doesn't know anything about the subject and can't find/hasn't looked for any sources. There is no question that the subject passes WP:ATHLETE since the single source describes him as one of a professional club's most important players. A cursory search of google throws up plenty of mentions on forums etc. of his exploits in the Malaysian league.
Although these are not reliable sources, it makes a nonsense of the speculative idea that he was registered to a series of leading clubs but never took to the field.
Would it not be better to restore the page, tag it and wait for an editor who actually knows something about the subject area? Eliteimp (talk) 19:01, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
