Hi Cirt. Are you going to add some information to In the Shadow of the Moons so that it is distinct from Nan Sook Hong? No rush. Thanks. Borock (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello Cirt. I was not aware that Delhi Belgian Club was nominated for deletion and I feel that I can improve the article to make its notability more clear. The club is part of the history of Belgian immigrants in South-Central Ontario and is visited many times per year by tours[1] from Belgium. There are only five [2] Belgian clubs in English speaking provinces of Canada and this one is known as "the largest Belgian club in North America" [3]. Over 60,000[4] Flemish families settled in the area which was the primary settlement location of Flemish in the world as of 1970 (The Belgians in Ontario: a history, p.249). Could you please give me a chance to improve the article by un-deleting it or restoring the latest version to my user space? Thanks, Mmn100 (talk) 17:08, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
The article Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 17:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Cirt -
I noticed you deleted our Kite Flying Society (band) page. I am wondering what we should go about doing to satisfy wikipedia admins as to the validity of our page. We have been featured on the CBS program "How I Met Your Mother"; we were on national top 10 album lists in 2006 and 2010; we have extensive press from a variety of media (in our home city of San Diego and elsewhere). I see any number of bands on wikipedia (including some from San Diego) who are not even active but are allowed to keep their page. We, KFS, have experienced far greater success, exposure and attention than these bands and yet our page was deleted. Did we not document our sources well enough? What would you suggest? We are still actively making music and are more than a simple fly-by-night garage band. Since our page's deletion, we have been featured on two more critics' Top Albums of 2010 award, which shows relevance and lasting power. We're currently recording our third album as well.
Thank you for your help and advice, Dustin Illingworth / Kite Flying Society dustin.illignworth@gmail.com

Hello.

This looks like a slam dunk delete and I almost punched it yesterday but something smells about that AFD and I'm not quite sure what it is. The only thing that stands out is that many of the "delete" !votes were "follow the leader metoos".

Apparently your close of the Brian David Mitchell afd is being interpreted as a rationale to never merge any portion of the two articles, bypassing any examination of the pertinent guidelines (obviously in my opinion, of course!) In any case, could you chime in and help us thread through the apparently complicated procedural issues involved? The current discussion on this matter is taking place here. If this would be possible, we will be sincerely appreciative. Thanks!--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 00:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I wish to appeal your decision to delete Helena von Schantz. Essentially there was no discussion and the criteria for deletion appears to have been as a politician not as a liberal feminist writer on gender and the law and education. I don't think that was fair and not helpful to trying to provide some space for Swedish gender politics here. I would be happy to discuss this further, but currently she is 'notable' for having taken the leader of the women's caucus of the Liberal Party to task over her position on morality and the law.

Dear Cirt, I am contacting you regarding this post: 06:24, 9 February 2011 Cirt (talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Bulbous Cell Media Group" (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulbous Cell Media Group) I had actually added 2 valuable sources under the references section this morning. I'd appreciate if you could please kindly let me know why the page has been deleted and if the references were not sufficient? I have actually found more articles about Bulbous Cell on the internet today that I could also add. Please note that I am not trying to promote this company - I only did research on media agencies here in Tokyo, and was surprised that this company (where a friend of mine used to work for) did not appear on Wikipedia.

On 28 January, you deleted Jean-Patrick Constantini per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jean-Patrick Constantini. However, in the time between the beginning of the deletion discussion and the closure, the article was moved to Jean-Patrick Costantini (note alternate spelling).

Hi Cirt,
I'm writing you to be aware of why Spongecell was deleted from Wikipedia. I recently updated the company info and added a few links to some articles that Spongecell appeared in. It seems that it was deleted shortly after that. I'm hoping you could shed a little light on the situation. Spongecell has always been about honesty and I would like to continue that. The company is very reputable, is not spam and only has the best of intentions. So anything I can do to understand better, make any changes to get the page back up would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Just trying to understand how you resolved to delete the article given that there was only one delete but there was also one keep. I was in the process of adding more independent verifiable references and would have appreciated more time to provide them.

Cirt,
Article: Richard Smith (silent film director)
You are the first administrator on en.wikipedia.org to be appreciated for something I did which was so small on an article you started. The article name got me confused for a while and it wasn't until I finished and move onto another article, that I realised "silent film director" isn't like todays movies. Anything that I can help with for example feedback or tidy up an article that you don't have much time for, you can ask me on my talkpage. Just leave a short message and the article link. You can find me doing the WikiProject Military History or WikiProject Biography mainly but I do have others that I help clean up, assess or try and put on the talkpage things that would improve the article for someone who maybe interested in that article.

Hi, There are a few people who I follow in the circles of leadership development, one of which is Arthur Carmazzi. I do understand that your editors find him distasteful and do not want him on Wikipedia, however, as I searched for his recent contributions, I saw the Wikipedia link was still up on Google. And when I went to the page it states how Mr Carmazzi is a "notorious spammer". I am not to judge whether he is or not, I am sure you have sophisticated technics to identify spammers, however the claim is the Mr. Carmazzi is doing this himself (would seem unlikely from an internationally know figure) using "sock IP address" apparently including my IP and my comments. So if they are wrong about me, they may be wrong about others too. In any case, I personally feel that it is unseemly, and certainly not in good faith, to have a page ranked #3 in Google that calls him a spammer. After all, we believe what we read in Wikipedia.
I have informed his office and I am sure they will be contacting someone. I just wanted to inform someone and your welcome comments was so pleasant, I thought you may be a neutral party that could observe the situation. I made 2 comments on that page, one was deleted and the other was ignored. 180.249.132.107 (talk) 12:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Dear ever-so-valiant Bacon Challenge 2011 participant:
Almost a year ago, the Bacon Challenge 2011 kicked off for the third year in a row with the annual mission of expanding and bettering Wikipedia's coverage of bacon. We are almost at the end of this year's Bacon Challenge, which ends on March 1st. I am pleased to say that, during this time period, Bacon Challenge participants have done a great job. Ten new pages have been created. Two articles have been granted the status of being good articles. Over one hundred reliable sources have been placed into articles, and over 7,500 words have been added. Six articles have been featured on Wikipedia's main page under the "Did you know..." section. These are all excellent results.
The Bacon WikiCup has also been exciting to watch. Contributors have been racking up more and more points as the deadline approaches. As I post this message, Worm That Turned is in the lead, with
Cirt in second, and
Acather96 in third.
Cirt currently has created the most new pages, while
Worm That Turned has done the most work in expanding articles and achieving DYKs.
Acather96 has done the most work with image uploads. Remember, while the Bacon Challenge is ending in just a few days, it's not too late to make any last-minute contributions to get a few more Bacon WikiCup points. Everyone who contributes at least something will earn a virtual commemorative medal, so if you haven't contributed anything bacon-related to Wikipedia, now's your chance. Contributions can be submitted up until the end of March 7th, but only for contributions that were done before the beginning of March. The extra week is provided for participants to report any last-minute contributions, and to allow for any contributions that require a timely process (such as a good article or DYK nomination) to go through. At the end of the event, scores for the Bacon WikiCup will be completed and re-checked, and prizes will be distributed. Thanks and good luck! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar | |
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.) Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. |
Hi Cirt, boldly following/ignoring your close on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/On_Verra, I redirected Ma Petite Lumiere to Jocelyne Labylle, as I think that is more usefull. If you disagree, feel free to delete, since that was your close. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 22:57, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cirt! I note that you are returning the favour of my slow review by being slow to respond! The seven days on this GAR have run out today but I know that you had responded almost immediately to my initial comments so I'm assuming you would like me to hold the GA open rather than closing it. Could you let me know what's going on with this one? If you're busy at the moment one possibility is to close it as Fail, with an option to jump the queue on your next nomination of the article by coming straight to me. Or if you can start improvements now there'd be no problem with holding it open another week. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cirt,
You have removed a page titled BugNET from the Wikipedia and you marked it to not be recreated again.

I would like to ask you to revert its page back or let me to recreate its page.

Hi Cirt,
I have a few questions about my page being deleted by you. According to you, my page has been deleted because Tarique Mustafa is not a notable person. However, this is what I have on my research about him. Tarique Mustafa is an important Computer Security Engineer that brought the Data Leak Prevention to the new generation. Because of that, he has received the award from Frost & Sullivan about Excellence in Technology Innovation Awards in 2009. Although I don't work for him, I still strongly believe that he is notable enough to meet all the notability standards of Wikipedia. I have edited my page and ready to send to you for rechecking before posting.
Thank you.

Hey Cirt--I understand the 2-2 vote (not counting mine) can be seen as "no consensus," but surely you agree that the sourcing for that article leaves a lot to be desired; it's basically nothing but a few websites. One 'keep' voter added references which aren't anywhere near WP:RS, and even PhilBridger stated he couldn't find anything. Moreover, among the lengthy comments of the other 'keep' voter, an SPA if ever there was one, is a remark that betrays a conflict of interest (never mind the basic lack of knowledge of our guidelines): "I have permission from Mario’s management to edit several independent web pages and part of a music website relevant to Mario's music." In my opinion, the complete lack of reliable sources on the internets (see [12], [13], and [14]) should also give cause for concern. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:09, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear Cirt, I have taken the initiative to begin an article in Wikipedia about the science of structured dialogic design. This is a relatively young and fast evolving science, but in my opinion very important. The European commission has included it in at least 10 large projects already in the last few years as a means of achieving consensus among diverse groups of people with conflicting interests and points of views. I probably don't understand yet the rules of Wikipedia, this is why I need some help. The article was up for discussion and a number of people objected to its deletion proposing specific arguments. On the contrary those proposing the deletion did not provide any specific argument. For example, the first editor who proposed deletion simply removed ALL references to the actual science calling it "copyrighted" material" and then made the argument that was was left behind was not important enough (and he was right, because he deleted the actual content).
Could you please help and advice how we can go about saving this contribution?
am a strong supporter of Wikipedia. One of the reasons is because the public can find also new concepts which one cannot find it regular encyclopedias. In 10 years from today I am sure this science might even be taught in schools. But for now, Wikipedia is the place for it.
What are our options? I appreciate your time. Futuristas (talk) 07:51, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
We would greatly appreciate that. Would you also be available to provide some feedback and help whether what we would be doing satisfactorily responds to the criticisms that led to its deletion? Futuristas (talk) 18:18, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
"we" is two more authors one in Europe and one in the US who have been editing the article and defended it when it was proposed for deletion. I plan to ask them to help in the edit since they have knowledge of the subject. Futuristas (talk) 11:24, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Of course not! So, will you place the article in my user space? Futuristas (talk) 12:04, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Dear Cirt, I am still awaiting your response (a) whether you can place back the article in my user space (b) whether you would be available/willing to provide feedback and help whether the revisions would satisfactorily respond to the criticisms that led to its deletion and (c ) to recover the discussions which took place in the articles discussion section and maybe copy it to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Structured dialogic design
where some other comments have been placed. Otherwise Wikipedia is loosing the discussions that took place regarding this article.

Dear Sirs,
I do not have an issue with our page being deleted if it does not conform to wikipedia content guidelines, however the statement below is pretty derogatory and not true. We do not charge a fee for the majority of work we publish through abramis and we are selective in what we publish. We publish academic journals for the University of Lincoln and the English Dept at the University of Leeds. We also featured in an article in the Times Higher Education magazine (2 December 2010) Feel the Rush, Professor Tim Luckhurst, University of Kent. This may not be sufficiently notable for the purposes of wikipedia, and I have no objection to this.
We are a small company with a business model that utilises on-demand publishing but 'fancy copy-shop' in my view is not a fair comment. We have had some issues with one of our theoretical physics authors but this is not a fair reflection of the catalogue. We have just published two separate physics works with authors from the University of Oxford. Again, the objection is not that you wish to delete our reference, it is the comment that is displayed at the foot of this message.
I use wikipedia every day and have nothing but respect for the work that you do, but it is a very challenging business environment out there and statements like this do us no favours.
Kind regards
Richard Franklin abramis academic

I'm not familiar with wikipedia conventions so please forgive me for copying this from a deleted article talk page here: I use Wikipedia almost daily and am very grateful for it. I have only very rarely attempted to edit or contribute to Wikipedia, finding 'wikis' a little beyond my computer skills. (I regularly use Wordpress without difficulty and have used wikispaces). I am sitting here in London (that's in England you know) and was extremely disappointed to see that an article about MacDonald-Bayne had been deleted. I had come to Wikipedia hoping to learn something more about this (to judge by his writing) extraordinary man. I am sitting with a copy of MacDonald-Bayne's "I am the Life" in front of me (hence my interest), a 159 page small format paper-back first published by L.N. Fowler & Co. Ltd of 1201/3 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex (less than two miles from my birthplace in Seven Kings, Ilford, Essex) in September 1948 (when I was two years old!) and running to the Sixth Impression in 1979. I have had the book for years, don't know where I got it but it has a sticker on the back from L.N. Fowler price £2.50. I don't believe that all articles need to be exhaustively 'cited' or 'sourced'. If they were, you might as well buy Encyclopedia Britannica. (I wonder if that has an article about MacDonald-Bayne?) Is this an example of Americo-centric thinking? ('some obscure Scottish spiritualist' (he doesn't appear to have been a spiritualist and was Scots not Scottish) with no 'sources' - so let's bin it) or is it something more sinister? Has Wikipedia now been infiltrated by the fascist American churches (some of whom would certainly crucify a MacDonald-Bayne) or the CIA? (by 'fascist American churches' I mean those churches which are fascist - I'm right and you're wrong' - not all American churches). Might the article be restored so that we can read it and perhaps add, edit, comment or provide sources??

From 1979-1983 he played bass guitar for a band called Legacy, which opened for Cheap Trick, Chuck Berry and Molly Hatchet[4]. Lizzard cites Jimmy Page for his guitar playing style and obsession with the Les Paul Guitar. In 1997 he moved to Las Vegas where he performed and recorded with his father[5] and adopted the name King Lizzard. In 1997 he formed a techno rock band, Living Karma, with the late Misty Bennetts. From 1999-2002 he led King Lizzard's Hearts of Darkness Band. From 2001 to 2004 he hosted Inside Sin City and Sounds of Sin on LVRocks Radio [6].

Hi Cirt, FYI, all the facts you've tagged needing citations on Terra Mariana are from the sources provided in the article. Do you mean there needs to be specific pages listed from the sources below for each 'citation needed' tag? Also in some cases refs have been provided in the lede, so do you think it would be necessary to duplicate the ref in the article body as well?

I would like you to take a look at User:MichaelQSchmidt/Jonathan Keltz. There was an article about this fellow that was sent to AFD in January 2010.[17] As I myself commented back then, I felt that while the fellow might be seen to meet WP:ENT, there was simply not enough reliable coverage at that time upon which to build a decent BLP. That has changed. In the intervening 14 months, the fellow has received growing coverage and recognition he lacked originally. And with the new coverage, available only since the deletion,[18] I feel it benefits the project to have this new version of the article return to mainspace to further grow and be expanded. There was no flaw in the reasoning for original deletion... but this is not exactly the same as the article that was deleted, due to actor's career and coverage not sitting still over the last 14 months. I seek your approval in its return AND in it not being mistakenly speedied as a G4 recreation. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 21:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
I hate having to keep bringing this up, but you were the deleting admin, so I'm going to come back to you to ask about whether or not I've managed to establish WP:N for the article yet? My only real other argument towards having it restored to mainspace as it is, is unfortunately still WP:OTHERSTUFF with several anime conventions in the European anime template at the bottom of the page having established even less notability.
This is also probably a sub-question to this, but would any imagery help the notability at all? TheChrisD Rants•Edits 22:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cirt, I just wanted to let you know that you may have missed a bottom template or something at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kris Wang. The blue box only reaches about halfway down. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
I am curious as to why you decided that the B1A4 article should be deleted even after going through the articles for deletion process. From a clear count of numbers, 4 people were for it and 3 against and most those against said so before later information came up. Plus, the main reason against was over whether they met notability criteria, but I showed with sources that they did in more than one way. Plus, no one debated my findings so I thought they were a sure keep. Even if it was unclear, my understanding is that by default in that situation the article is kept.
You did not mention whatsoever what reason you gave for deletion as such I feel like the article should go under deletion review because your action makes no sense. It doesn't seem to follow the AfD page at all. To simplify things before that, would you mind explaining what you were thinking? Snowclrops (talk) 00:00, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
You say that the evidence about Les Brown is unsupportable... that you "can not even find evidence for the one thing that ought to be possible, a marriage to Gladys Knight." Les Brown is real, and his work is real. It took me a couple of minutes to find a photo of [http://books.google.com/books?id=ijgDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA32&lpg=PA32&dq=les+brown+gladys+knight+married&source=bl&ots=T_Ex5DChtD&sig=5gc90M_SZ6J6eKh8bZ3zXRLKxqY&hl=en&ei=XwVPTciGC46CsQPc5fjrCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CE8Q6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=les%20brown%20gladys%20knight%20married&f=false the happy couple. And his service in the Ohio Legislature is an easily retrievable matter of public record. What's you beef with Les Brown, Cirt? I'm beginning to think that Wikipedia has become unsupportable.

I didn't mention this is the report, but the multiple contributions deleted were not mine. I had no personal interest in reporting these deletions. They were all from other contributors that were engaging in the discussion, but were were not active at the moment and none of them had given any consensus to the deletion of their contributions.
One of them, Anythingyouwant had this to say, "I'm not going to bother arguing with you, or trying to satisfy you, because instead of modifying or rephrasing you prefer to completely delete material that is obviously relevant.

Hi Cirt. While I have every faith in your closures of AfD, I am questioning the wisdom of reopening and relisting this especially when a deletion review was called for. IMO, until our requirements for WP:RS and WP:V are satisfied until notability is clearly asserted, this twice deleted article should remain deleted. These guys clearly have an agenda, demonstrated by their constant disruption of due process, harrassment, and personal attacks, and I am wondering if sock/meat is also part of the tactics. I have no personal interest in the outcome of this article other than that Wikipedia policy is acknowledged. Regards, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cirt, why did you decide that the Pair Options article should be deleted only after a few days ? this does not allow time for a due process. I would ask you to open it for deletion review again, for example I did not have time even to state my opinion, and I am not the article editor, PLUS, I have few concrete suggestions to the notability issue (references).

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

I believe that the [AfD for Brandon Lee] was decided incorrectly. I am not an expert at gay pornography but two scholarly works[21][22] have written about Lee's status within gay pornography as the first Asian pornographic actor that takes the top (dominant) role. He is also described in another scholarly work as being the most popular gay asian porn actor.[23] Not only does the coverage satisfy the GNG, it verifies that Lee would pass criteria 3 of WP:PORNBIO as he is considered a pioneer in gay pornography based on his race and reverse role. The discussion in the AfD applying PORNBIO completely ignores criteria 3 and Lee's unique contribution to gay pornography. Morbidthoughts (talk) 09:49, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

This might sound like a strange question, but I looked for an answer and could not find one. I'm working on putting together a portal based just on the highways and roads of the state of Michigan. There are currently 221 articles (plus a few lists) with a bit of room for additional articles in the future. There are currently 112 GAs or higher in the state's highway subproject. So far I've come up with, on paper at least:
Over time there is no issue with adding to the article content selected for the portal, even if the shorter and less important highways are excluded. (Just as a comparison, the rest of the state of Michigan only has 16 FAs and 67 GAs out of 4031 articles.) I'm initially considering setting up the portal to use monthly updates, and pre-coding the first 15–20 selections. If I were to get the whole portal created and all of the content set up for such a long period of pred-determined updates, would that be acceptable for a FPoC nomination?
Most portals rotate/randomize, but I prefer to follow the main P:USRD practice of giving the spotlight to a specific article for a month at a time. (The New York portal does the same thing, but randomizes the photos and DYK.) I'm actually even thinking of setting the photos on a schedule so that if the article features a road from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the photo would feature one from the Lower Peninsula or vice versa. At five hooks per set, at most I'd come up with 44 DYK sets if all 220 or so articles got a hook, and that's not likely, so I'll probably either have to code that out on a long-term schedule until exhaustion and set it to rotate after, or just rotate it now. Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated. Imzadi 1979 → 10:20, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Can the recently deleted GingerBread Lane wiki piece be reinstated so that the edited version that looks like a wiki piece can be posted please. If then you choose to delete the piece, so be it. It looks to me like a couple of the delete votes were for those not understanding the scope of how big the exhibit actually is, how many visits it has, and further a couple of the delete votes were frustrated with how long the edits took. I only contracted a third party to do the wiki page because I was advised by Verno Whitney of wiki in an email that I should have a third party do the piece. I initially found out that someone did the wiki piece for GBL, without my blessing, knowledge, or request, and it looked like hell. So seeing it was up for deletion, I emailed wiki asking how to stop it. The number one reccomendation was to have a neutral third party write the piece. I evidently mistakenly contracted a web designer who is good with wiki to do the piece. I did ask wiki support was this a violation of the COI, and was told no being that the person doing the wiki entry had no stake in the company and their only stake is to improve the wiki entry. The exhibit gets seen annually by over 150,000, it is a rather impressive display. If at all possible, can you please see your way clear to open it back up so that the now finished changes can be displayed, then make the decision? thank you so much, Jon ( kcdcchef )

Agreed. Working on that right now. When it is done, it will have 10 citations that take you to the various news arcticles that cite the facts. In regards to it needing a lot of formatting work, I am assuming you are referring to how it presently reads also? If so, we are on same page.

Hi Cirt!
I have great respect for you and you come closest to being my role model in my ambitions as a novice to become a Wikipedian! This being said, I realise that a Wikipedian of your calibre would delete a page with sufficient reason to justify it. However, I take the liberty of addressing (not challenging) the rather fast deletion of the page Rooma Mehra. Since it was awaiting citations, perhaps the process of research should have been given some time.

I've made important additions to the article Comparison of issue-tracking systems but my contributions were removed because the original BugNET article that was referenced was also removed. BugNET is an open source product that is gaining more and more popularity and plays an important role in the landscape of different issue tracking software available. When compared to many of the other products listed in the article Comparison of issue-tracking systems, it is not clear at all why BugNET would be rejected whereas other lesser known and unremarkable products remain. I think the most sensible approach is to allow inclusion of any product as long as as it appears to have or to have had a legitimate following for a significant amount of time. For these reasons I would like to request undeletion of both the BugNET article as well as my contributions to the Comparison of issue-tracking systems article and I was told to talk with you in order to have this done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffreyhartpierson (talk • contribs) 04:55, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm wondering if you could expand slightly on your closing rationale. While more users argued to keep, their arguments are extremely weak and I provided detailed, specific arguments with a solid base in Wikipedia policies and I am not the only one who saw it that way. As I mentioned, it is not even verified that there is a street by this name, the one and only reliable source anyone has found about this subject only mentions a gate. The rest of the content of the article is original research coupled with some "facts" sourced to a spy novel. I think a bit more than a one-word explanation of why those arguments are invalid is in order. Beeblebrox (talk) 14:49, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I am contacting you because you were involved in the deletion of the article on QuuxPlayer. I was surprised to find that Wikipedia contains no article on QuuxPlayer so I wrote one and was about to submit it only to discover that the previous article was deleted for lack of notability. I found Quuxplayer about six months ago after Googling for alternatives to foobar2000 and browsing various forums and download sites (e.g. [24][25][26][27]) where it was well recommended. Unfortunately I can't recall all the sources now but Quuxplayer is liked for its simplicity, sound quality and built-in support for internet radio, has been available on numerous download sites for at least three years, and received strong editors' reviews on CNET and PC World, even before it became freeware.

Cirt, you closed Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 May 16#techophilia 17 hours and 36 minutes early. Od Mishehu has brought up early XfD closures a week earlier. This prevents other admins from closing DRVs or MfDs and may lead to admins' closing earlier and earlier than the set seven days. I ask that you do not close DRVs or MfDs early. Your early closures of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Rmxriver and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:WillManning and snow closures of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Franavar and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Smebranding/SME Branding may have contributed to Salvio giuliano (talk · contribs)'s closing Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Nandiyanto and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Sonoran Mamma/The Masque over 12 hours early.
I raised the same issue with The ed17 at User:The ed17/Archives/37#Early DRV closures. I wrote:
Although I do not disagree with any of your DRV closures, I ask that you let them run for the full seven days unless there are exceptional circumstances, such as the discussions at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 February 14 (where WP:SNOW was applicable), or uncontroversial requests, such as the restoration of a contested prod. Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 February 10#Extravagance should have run for the full seven days and been closed no earlier than 19:50, 17 February 2011 (UTC) since it was initiated on 19:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC). DRV is the final court of appeal, so to prevent potential controversy, it is best to let the DRV discussions run the full seven days. This also allows more admins to close DRVs and guards against admins' closing earlier and earlier than the set 7 days (see DGG's comment at User talk:Spartaz/Archive9#closing in September 2009). Cunard (talk) 10:55, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
I ask you not to invoke WP:SNOW in the last 24 or 48 hours of a discussion to justify closing a debate half a day early. This will lead to admins' closing earlier and earlier. Cunard (talk) 07:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi - about the AIV report I left concerning the page Paulo Henrique Chagas de Lima, the issue is still on going and I'm struggling to keep up with the reverts - can the page be protected? Mato (talk) 22:51, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
If I didn't know bwtter, I'd almost say that was a chan bomb. Any idea what they were saying? Was that cheering or obscenities? HalfShadow 23:01, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
I seemed to have gotten them to understand what they've done wrong, and the post to user pages appear to be accidental: they don't understand where their message is supposed to go. I've seen other new users make the same mistake. Unless they've done something else and I just can't see it because it's been deleted, I request an unblock. HalfShadow 02:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
I am the president of the board of directors for the Sacred Paths Center. The Sacred Paths Center is the first pagan community center in the nation. With us being the first and only two years old, it is nearly impossible to be in outside credible resources. We held off on making an entry this long waiting for Dr. Murphy Pizza (no, that is not a made up name, it really is her name) to have her dissertation published hoping it may be enough.
We are registered with the state of Minnesota as a not for profit organization and are in the process of filing for our 501c3 status.
I am asking that you please restore our article. If it helps, the Sacred Paths Center is used by the Wiccan Church of Minnesota, a federally recognized church. State = 1D-166 Federal = 36-3616607 In addition, we were just recognized in the Women's Press as the best in the area for women's spirituality.
I hope you are willing to restore this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KevinOfMinnesota (talk • contribs) 12:19, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Done, now at User:KevinOfMinnesota/Sacred Paths Center. -- Cirt (talk) 03:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
You probably have the GA nomination watchlisted, but just in case, I've dropped a talkback.
Cirt, I think this looks like a wiki piece, reads like a wiki piece, has very strong sourcing ( Pittsburgh Trib Review,Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Wash Post, Martha Stewart Living, ) and some other sourcing too. It has been formatted much better, done in an appropriate wiki way, with the small numbers leading to sources. I think it ready to be on wikipedia. I am hoping you agree. Here is the new one, make sure you are reading the new one, here it is.

Thanks Cirt. Kcdcchef (talk) 20:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Cirt, I have many press pieces like this that are scanned in to my webpage, but no longer online. Can they be used? There are many on my website.
http://www.gingerbread-lane.org/press3large.html
I can literally add 5-6 new sources right away to the wiki piece if you let me use these. Washgington Afro America, additional Wash Post pieces, a Washingtonian piece. Is it okay to use these? They are legit news sources. Just no longer online ( not everything used to be archived as I am sure you know ) Kcdcchef (talk) 21:35, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Done. Just added 5 more sources, Wash times, 1999, Wash afro american 1999, pitts trib reviuew jan 2007, pittsburgh living 2010, and pittsburgh trib 2010. That is 5 more secondary sources, all completely seperate from the ones I had been using. Also adding a See Also section to other wiki pieces on gingerbread, gingerbread men, and German gingerbread. Are we good to go yet? Kcdcchef (talk) 23:00, 24 May 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kcdcchef (talk • contribs) 22:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Groovy, and thanks. What will it take to finally get all that stuff at the top of the page, AFD, etc, removed? Once others see it;s better now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kcdcchef (talk • contribs) 23:02, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
You didnt put the latest and greatest version up there, the one you put up stops at 13 sources, the latest has 19 sources. Radio Fan already said delete, but he isnt looking at right page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:A-E-I-Owned-You
Not sure how, but here is the correct one wth 19 souces. RadioFan didnt see the correct version, I feel he/she should before jumping to delete. Kcdcchef (talk) 23:14, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Done. Just didnt want to get busted on the COI stuff. Kcdcchef (talk) 23:17, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
Cirt, please consider reviewing the block of the 212.IP. All I see is one comment on a talk page today, and a stale act of vandalism earlier in the month. Please take note on the subject talk page concerning this being a shared IP. I'll be offline for awhile, but would appreciate your attention on this matter. I'll check back later. 66.87.111.151 (talk) 01:39, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

How does an IP turn up, out of the clear blue sky, to ask when a blocked user is going to be unblocked, unless he's a sock of that blocked user? And how does another IP, as in the previous section, know about this? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 01:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
You convinced me. You are correct. -- Cirt (talk) 02:18, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Could you help me understand the closure of WP:Articles for deletion/Eliot House? Obviously there was no consensus, but I had thought that policy was the most important thing, and if there are no references supporting notability, then it would be deleted, even if some people made the silly claim that minor mentions in passing were adequate.

Hello Cirt. Thanks for blocking this bozo Runsroute (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). Unfortunately they moved the entire article to rename the page with their vandalising edit. Is there any chance that you will be able to move it back? Thanks for your time.

You are most welcome. ;) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 02:53, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi, would you post a deletion rationale at Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_May_23#File:Santorum_Most_Outrageous_Word_of_the_Year_2004.jpg? You were the uploader and voted for keeping it, but still you speed-deleted the image just one day after nomination. Whatever changed in your mind would be educating, and possibly quotable in future deletion discussions.
Your rationale in the log, "G7: One author who has requested deletion", felt somewhat incomplete.
Thanks, --Damiens.rf 03:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
If you're in a mood to do some more admin-stuff, would you mind semi-protecting that page again? Protection was removed for some unknown reason, and the IP who keeps trying to post a large section, about some internal soap opera at the Austin PD, is back there again. Thank you! (I posted this at WP:RFPP but no action was taken.) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:45, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cirt, did you mean to delete the other two bundled articles as well? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:49, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
hi, i just spend the last hour editing an article about umplayer (a highly respected open source media player) which you just deleted :s you gave reason that the software in question is non-notable, but i want you to know sir that it's the 3rd most popluar media player in the world and i've spend countless hours working with other developers for no compensation to achieve the best damn media player possible. so i ask you sir to re-institude the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orejwan (talk • contribs) 14:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Sure! please tell me what needs to be doing, I though i did a prety good job with everything but this is my first (and only) Wiki article — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orejwan (talk • contribs) 14:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
sorry cirt, can you please explain what needs to be doing? also, i would like to change the name from 'UMPlayer_media_player' to simply 'UMPlayer' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orejwan (talk • contribs) 15:02, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
hi Cirt,
sorry i'm new to wikipedia so this is really annoying; i'm writing you about the article of the UMPlayer i've written, which you've deleted. now it seems that you've also blocked my user for link spaming (which i don't see how this is possible at all with no ref tags but that's besides the point). now the article i've written was in my opinion well though of and well prased and had plenty of refrences, it might not be a gem but certianly better than some of the other aritcles i've read, and the software in question is very notable (it's one of the world's most popular applications) and is featured on countless sites such as cnet, brothersoft, softpedia, etc.
i have to tell you that i'm about to give up; i'm tired of this run about, all i was trying to do is write an article about a highly esteemed well regarded open source software that no one is getting paid for, and not only that my article got deleted (several times) but my user and ip were blocked by you. so please tell me what needs to be done to rectify this problem.

Hi, just so you know. An editors has asked that the protection on the Casey Anthony homicide article should be removed. I strongly advice against it. Just to let you know as you were the one who protected the article.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:22, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Please note that there is a thread on the Wikien list discussing your work on the Santorum (neologism) article. This is the post that started the thread, the others are accessible from this listing. --JN466 19:35, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Toddst1 told me to contact you if he was not available. I found another sockpuppet of Porgers (talk · contribs). It is IP # 69.70.75.106 . I got an email saying someone "from the IP address 69.70.75.106 requested that we send you a new login password for the English Wikipedia." What should I do about it? I also noticed that User 69.70.75.106 has been editing the Jean Chrétien article again. I hate to get into another edit war, as one is brewing if no one else steps in. --Skol fir (talk) 22:42, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
I have a concern with your editing, which on several occasions seems to have veered into political advocacy, in violation of WP:NOTADVOCATE policy. There are several instances of this.
The first one relates to your editing of the articles Kenneth Dickson (AfD1, AfD2) and Joel Anderson. Both Dickson and Anderson were candidates in a local California election that took place in June 2010. There were three main contenders; the third, Jeff Stone, does not have a Wikipedia article. (Anderson won, Dickson was said by press to have done "surprisingly" well.)
Prior to that election, you wrote the abovementioned, highly flattering article on Kenneth Dickson (see feedback from other editors in the two AfDs). You also completely re-wrote the article on the other candidate, Joel Anderson, prior to the election, increasing its size five-fold in a single edit. That too resulted in an upbeat article that ended with endorsements:
"On April 6, 2010, Anderson received the endorsement of San Diego Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, who described the candidate as "a rock-solid conservative that gets things done in Sacramento".[28] Anderson also received endorsements from the California Republican Assembly and from Congressman Duncan Hunter.[29] In his endorsement, Congressman Hunter called Anderson "a great conservative leader who has fought to strengthen the economy by supporting tax credits to encourage new hiring and by eliminating excessive regulations on businesses."[30]"
Some time after the election, Kenneth Dickson was deleted by User:John Vandenberg, after considerable community discussion. A substantial number of editors judged it to be a promotional article on a non-notable local politician. I did not participate in either deletion discussion, but later noted that Kenneth Dickson was prominently discussed in forums discussing what used to be a main focus of your editing here, until you agreed to step back from the topic, at the urging of several admins and an arbitrator: Scientology.
Kenneth Dickson was discussed on these forums in the following terms:
"There are two Republicans running against Jeff Stone. One, Joel Anderson, has a few ethical problems stemming from creative juggling of campaign funds. The other, Kenneth Dickson, appears to have a clean reputation. As a Republican, he is supporting the usual issues associated with that party, including freedom of religious expression. ... Gold Base is within the Senate district Stone, Anderson and Dickson are competing for. Dickson's campaign site is here: ... I think, given Joel Anderson's tainted reputation, Dickson is the best Republican candidate to beat Jeff Stone." [28]
In a later discussion about Wikipedia on that same forum, discussing your work here, a contributor named Xenubarb referred to you by name, saying, "I helped Cirt acquire some photos of politicians for the Jeff Stone/campaign articles. It's a bitch. You have to have the photo provider sign some thing stating permission to use the image, and copyright claims acknowledged. Two politicians didn't even bother to respond, so no pix for them." [29]
I was left with no other reasonable conclusion than that you had consciously tried to use Wikipedia to influence the outcome of the election, biasing our coverage against the candidate not favoured on that forum, Stone.
Two politicians that have similarly been discussed at Scientology message boards are Jose Peralta and Hiram Monserrate. Examples: [30],[31]. As can be seen, Monserrate was viewed as a "political supporter" of Scientology, and Peralta was viewed as the candidate to be preferred. I note that prior to the March 16, 2010, election, you completely overhauled Peralta's article: [32], [33], increasing its size 25-fold, and adding an image of a smiling Peralta uploaded by yourself. The article concludes with a blue call-out box saying,
"Now more than ever we need a strong voice in the state Senate and Jose Peralta will be a senator we can be proud of."
The article appeared on DYK on 12 March 2010, four days prior to the election, with the hook:
"Did you know that Jose Peralta was the first Latino elected to the New York State Assembly from Queens, New York?"
Your article contained no voices critical of Peralta, even though such voices could easily have been sourced, for example "Smith: Is Jose Peralta Really All That Much Better Than Hiram Monserrate?", New York (magazine); "Assemblyman Jose Peralta scored $500,000 in taxpayer funds for inactive nonprofit", New York Daily News.
At the same time, you also edited Hiram Monserrate. Your edits in that BLP focused on expanding coverage of Monserrate's legal and personal problems at the time. [34][35][36][37] and others.
Again, the impression I was left with was that you were quite consciously trying to use Wikipedia to influence the outcome of the election.
You wrote Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant (AfD1, AfD2). Several editors viewed this as a puff piece of a non-notable restaurant; it was kept as no consensus in the first AfD, after User:DGG edited it down significantly to reduce its promotional tone, and then deleted in the second AfD. The owner is a former Scientologist turned critic; Jimbo Wales commented in the AfD: "That there is a connection to Scientology here is quite relevant to any thoughtful understanding of what is going on." You denied at the time that moral support for anti-Scientologists affected the way you wrote the article, although you said you had read about it on a Scientology critic's blog.
Leaving Scientology behind, you also wrote the article Corbin Fisher, on a gay porn company. It's an article you created, and like Jose Peralta, it featured (until today, when you removed it) a blue call-out box with an endorsement:
"I've always had a lot of professional and personal admiration for [Corbin Fisher] because they really defined a new space in gay adult entertainment".
The article strikes me as a perfect PR piece. At least, if I tried to write a PR piece, I could do no better. The article also appeared as a DYK on the main page, with the hook:
"Did you know ... that the gay pornography film studio Corbin Fisher offers contracted actors health benefits and a 401(k) plan?"
When other editors added material from sources that might portray the company in a less favourable light ([38], [39]), you deleted all of it, including parts that were adequately sourced, with the edit summary "better to keep in chronological order". Was this appropriate, and in the spirit of NPOV?
Recently, since about the time that the press reported that Rick Santorum, a politician who has been in controversy over his statements about homosexuality, might be running for president, you have been working on Santorum (neologism), an article on a campaign that seeks to ridicule him by associating his name with anal sex, greatly expanding the article. As you know, this has caused concern on the Wikien-l list that you are using Wikipedia as a platform for political campaigning. You created three new templates that include the term santorum, adding several hundred in-bound links to your article, which presently is the top Google result for Santorum's surname.
There are other aspects of your editing that have caused me concern over the years, such as:
To summarise, you seem to have made conscious attempts to influence the outcome of several US elections, in the service of off-site campaigns, and to have written a number of unduly promotional articles. Are you prepared to take any of these concerns on board, and to work on the live articles mentioned to balance them out? And to the extent that you feel my impressions may be accurate, are you prepared to no longer engage in these kinds of editing behaviour? --JN466 04:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Cirt, I hate to have to say this, because I respect your ability to write good Wikipedia articles, but your response is disingenuous.
-- Cirt (talk) 05:13, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Sure looks to me like Jayen466 has a well-documented axe to grind against Cirt, and that this is a case of WP:WIKIHOUND. Jusdafax 05:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 23:34, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
OK thanks for blocking Cameron Scott even so for just a week the users behaviour on the Caylee Anthony homicide was blatant vandalism in my opinion. Could you please check out user Niteshift36s edits and especially hateful comments on the Caylee Anthony talk page, I find them to be really offensive and the user seem to just removing huge part of the article without reason just like Cameron Scott. Thanks once again!--BabbaQ (talk) 05:18, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm having trouble seeing why Cameron Scott was blocked for a week for vandalism. What am I missing in his or the IP's contribution history? Protonk (talk) 05:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
So in summary, you locked a page which did not need locking and when I questioned this you blocked me for 'vandalism' - this is the very model of admin abuse. My block record now indicated I was blocked for vandalism and is a stain on my record. --Cameron Scott (talk) 06:51, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
1) you protect a page in error 2) I ask for an unblock of the page (as 87.x.x.) 3) I then return to my account (and note so on the talkpage of that article) 4) you take it on face value that the page has been subject to vandalism and do no checks 5) you block me.
It's either a catalogue of errors on your part or you simply hit the buttons as you see fit or more worryingly, you block me because you didn't like the questioning of the page protection. Yours actions in this matter make no sense any other way. --Cameron Scott (talk) 06:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
That's nice but I'm still left with a block log that indicates that I am a vandal, and you are still offering no explanation of why you blocked me or fully protected a page (Both at the request of a single editor - BabbaQ) for vandalism when neither had occured. One of those errors on it's own we could indeed say "it's a mistake" but the two together are different admin actions that indicate that you are using buttons with doing any actual checks, you are simply taking statements made to you at face value. I'll leave this matter at that. --Cameron Scott (talk) 07:06, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Sorry I meant Semi-protected the article above, again to protect against vandalism that does not exist. The most mystifying aspect of all this is how you take every statement off BabbaQ on face value and act on it accordingly. --Cameron Scott (talk) 07:13, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
