Hey Deb! Just curious to know what was the first article that you edited? (ifyou remember) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nemo 838 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello, Deb. I was wondering if I could get a copy of the text I wrote from my article which was deleted. I hope you can post it on my talk page or somewhere where it is most convenient. Thanks, Olendory (talk) 14:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)OlendoryOlendory (talk) 14:08, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Deb... Are you able to help get the page up ? The author for whom the page was published has written more than 60 books and one of his essays is being used in Harvard as course material.

Okay so I put up a csd for Karan Vohra (actor) which someone did remove saying it is not a duplicate when not a redirect, not sure if that was an admin or someone who does not understand the rules.

I just wrote a long response explaining my choice of ANI was due to general inexperience with conflict resolution here. Unfortunately, mobile editing is cruel, and I accidentally refreshed the page by scrolling up too far in Chrome. 0 “you’re about to lose saved changes” warnings. How annoying.
tl;dr of my lost message: I don’t know any admins, TeaHouse feels like it’s for pure newbies, but maybe it would have been best. I really didn’t know where else to go. Thanks for your response.
Responding here because continuing in side discussions seems counterintuitive after having requested closure. 1F6😎E 08:35, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Deb...
1. I am not affiliated with AIROAV.
2. User:Danielcohens (my page) here on Wikipedia has a link to my profile in the Google Hall Of Fame with my picture and a long history of security credentials and contribution. So my publication on AiroAV is not about PR, rather SECURITY.
Please note, I am a professional security consultant and am on Google, AT&T, Adobe, Apple, and Microsoft's official website's with my name and picture (Daniel Cohen, Speed-net.com) for knowledge in security and contribution. My name coincides with my own username here on Wikipedia. So that is my "affiliation" to security and purpose for creating the page. But to be clear, my company Speed-net.com is not affiliated to AiroAV or any of their businesses and you can do a simple Google search for "Daniel Cohen Speed-net.com" and find the necessary references and authority qualifications for my contribution to protecting online user activity.
Now to address AiroAV. It's an Anti Virus company. Everything I stated is clear fact and referenced. Wikipedia is a historical fact site. According to the Register.co.uk and another tier 1 media source FossBytes, earlier last month AiroAV identified a dangerous malware variant spread via the Adobe Flash Plugin that undermines the security of Mac users by re-writing Google and Bing search results and turning computers into a proxy that can be used for malicious activity. This is HISTORICAL FACT and in the future, reference on Wikipedia can prove invaluable for security researchers to follow up on.
Finally, I was in Prague at Hackathon last month hanging out with Brian (the head of Wikipedia Security). So please don't suspect me for exterior PR agendas, and in the name of community contribution, please do not support erasing the page or references that identify malware putting millions of MACOS users at risk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielcohens (talk • contribs) 21:46, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
Deb,
I have noticed you deleted my article Draft:Continental Express Inc for promotion, and not writing in a neutral perspective. As I have noted before with DRM310 Undisclosed paid editing: Continental Express, Inc. and with official contested deletion 'I have read over my article Draft:Continental Express Inc numerous times to check for wording in which would make it seem 'Unambiguous advertising or promotion'. As I have noted in my discussion with DRM310 Undisclosed paid editing: Continental Express, Inc. on her talk page, I have never been paid, I am not being paid, nor will i ever be paid to produce, or make edits to the article Draft:Continental Express Inc. If you are saying that my article I have written is promotional, I could argue that any article on wikipedia is promotional as it is a public encyclopedia pertaining information for other people to read. The nature of my article is not in any which way promoting Continental Express, Inc. as an entity or for business sorts. I have only created the article as an informative page for people learn facts about the company and the founder itself in a non-promotional way. If you have any SPECIFIC examples of wording as to how my article Draft:Continental Express Inc is promoting the company itself or promoting anything in any which way, please cite the exact wording and I will do my best to comply with your discrepancies. Otherwise, please lift my speedy deletion on my article so it may be published.' Please explain SPECIFIC examples to me how my article is promoting or not neutral in any which way. If my article is promoting, then how isn't CR England, Werner Enterprises, and Knight-Swift. If you can cite SPECIFIC examples how my article is different then theirs then I will gladly comply to your requests. Otherwise please have my article reinstated.
thank you

Hi Deb, I come peacefully to seek your Unprotection from a page Bella Disu. I believe the original creator abused all Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but I'm different. I am experienced editor and currently create visibility for African women through the Women In Red Project. Bella Disu is very notable and deserves an article on Wikipedia.

Hi. I'm not quite sure why you have objected to my edit. You have also said that an adverbial clause of purpose is not a clause. Would you like to discuss? It is what's known as an essential clause, as it's the purpose of the verb. Specifically, it's an essential adverbial clause of purpose and is therefore not preceded by a comma. Could I ask why you think what you do? NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:28, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
You should have discussed after being reverted and I explained my reasoning. It's a pretty simple one, this. https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/tpv2guides/guides/wrtps/index-eng.html?lang=eng&lettr=indx_catlog_c&page=9NAz60BVJKd8.html#tphp NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:36, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Yes it is. If you'd like me to simplify it for you, you could rephrase it as 'in order to play in the second test', which in this instance is what 'for the second test' means. Do you have any actual reason why you're saying what you are? Simply stating something demonstrably incorrect isn't the best argument.NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
I have explained it to you. Leeds.NEDOCHAN (talk) 18:51, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Leeds is part of the main clause. The non essential information in the main clause is Headingley. They went to Leeds to play cricket. They went to Leeds to watch a film. Not they went to Leeds, to watch a film. NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:10, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
What's wrong with that is the comma after to. The rest is correct.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:13, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
I have provided a very clear link to explain this. Leeds is part of the main clause. The main clause is not separated from the adverbial clause as the adverbial clause is essential in order to understand the purpose of the main clause. Headingley is separated from Leeds by a comma as it's not essential in order to understand going to Leeds. Leeds is not 'parenthetical', Headingley is. They went to Leeds for the second test. If you would like to provide a source, as I have, that supports your case, I'd be happy to read it. I have been teaching EFL for 11 years. You haven't been able to identify an adverbial clause. I'll need some pretty compelling evidence.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:22, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
The one version that is definitely not correct is: "After this incident Atherton and England headed to Headingley, Leeds for the second Test", because that makes the word "Leeds" into part of the second phrase/clause, which it clearly isn't. Read the rules on adverbial clauses again; there is absolutely nothing to suggest that your version of the sentence is correct. Deb (talk) 19:31, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
No it doesn't. Remove Headingley. Remove the comma after it. Ignore it. That's what you're missing.
This is from the link.
When placed at the end of the independent clause, an adverb clause may or may not require a comma, depending on whether it is essential to the meaning of the sentence.
Essential clauses provide essential information and are not set off with commas.
The package came after you had left. [identifies the time of delivery] The police will press charges if the witness’s statement is true. [stipulates the condition governing the action in the main clause] Note that clauses introduced by until and the conjunctions of comparison than and as … as are normally essential:
They took shelter in the cave until the storm ended. Jorge is taller than Greg (is). No one can play that sonata as well as Marsha (does). Non-essential clauses provide additional, non-essential information and need commas:
The package came at 8:30, after you had left. [The phrase at 8:30 identifies the time of delivery; the clause is just additional information.] The passenger apparently arrived late, if the witness’s statement is true. [The adverb clause if the witness’s statement is true has no bearing on the passenger’s arrival time; it is just an added comment that is not essential.] Note that clauses beginning with although, even though, though and whereas are normally non-essential:
Lisa won the prize, even though (although, though) the competition was stiff. Cara wanted to paint the room blue, whereas Paul preferred green.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
The example explicitly refers to commas. I have changed the text to a version with which we will both be happy.NEDOCHAN (talk) 19:43, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
I just tried to add back in some birthdays from October 12, only for you to revert the edit, telling me "the guidelines say there must be in-line citations and there aren't". Which guidelines do you mean? Also, do you mean on the page October 12? Because almost none of the people there have citations on that page, and as I said, all the ones I added back have citations on their own pages for their birthdays. And why remove just those specific ones? Why not, say, Iris Apatow, whose page contains no source for her birthday? JorWat (talk) 22:11, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Deb,
I have to admit that I didn't read the guidelines and can completely understand why the page I created was deleted. However, I'm wondering if I might be able to get a copy of the text I posted. I understand if that's not possible/allowed but thought I'd ask.
Thanks EdmondsBrown — Preceding unsigned comment added by EdmondsBrown (talk • contribs) 20:16, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
I never intended to make it public but I somehow stumbled through creating the page and bumbled my way into submitting it for review. I mainly wanted to get a screen shot of the page as a gag to be used for someone's upcoming surprise party. But I understand the need to avoid publishing false information, especially when it paints someone in a bad light.
There was/is no ill will toward the subject of this page but I also understand more clearly now that Wikipedia is not the right platform for this type of nonsense. Regardless, have a great weekend and sorry to create unnecessary churn. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EdmondsBrown (talk • contribs) 01:44, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
No hyphen. Did you bother to look at how semifinal is spelled in all other instances in the article, or any of the previous years' articles, in prose or tables? Or any of the tennis tournaments, for that matter? Clearly not. And did you bother to look at all the previous years' articles for Wimbledon to see the lead layout? Clearly not. 173.91.60.85 (talk) 18:25, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Sorry for accepting some bad pending edits on days of the year articles. To be honest, I wasn't aware of WP:DOYCITE and I naively assumed that it was okay to accept unreferenced additions since many of the existing entries were unreferenced. I've now read the relevant policies and will follow them. Thanks for reverting my edits. SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 21:20, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi, can I ask why you chose to decline the speedy and draftify that article? I would have thought it was unambiguously promotional, including as it did details of opening and location, as well as being created by an account with a COI. It's also of dubious notability, so I'm not sure it will ever be "ready for mainspace". Triptothecottage (talk) 23:10, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Deb, Thank you for taking the time to review my article "DealerRater." It seems it was deleted due to advertising-like material. I believe the page was written in an unbiased and objective point of view. As a newspaper writer and journalist, I was trained to write about subjects without taking sides. Be that as it may, I would be happy to edit down the article however you see fit and remove any "advertising" language. Sadly, I am unsure what parts of the article you were referring to. This was my first article, but before I publish anything else, I'd like to ensure I am doing all correct. I read the rules and regs and really thought I followed all. Thank you and I look forward in hearing from you soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hurwith2 (talk • contribs) 14:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for deleting the advertisements I tagged of Shrkba8One, but I think you might have gone too far on this article.

Hello, please explain why you deleted this page? Please explain me where you see “Unambiguous advertising or promotion” this page is only info page about btcz. Lest me explain
You said “We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia”, but is’s community coin, everyone can do their contribution. I am a volunteer, and i decided to write wiki page about project.
“avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles“ it’s not my organization, btcz exist without any leaders. Many project include to their wiki article official web link. A There only 2 official links 1-web site and block explorer, 1 link github source code, and another 2 links i added, cause some wiki editor mention to me that i have to add wp:sigcov and wp:independent and i include 2 links which i found. Btcz small project and no review on new york times etc.. Again, i’m valunteer who decided to made page. I tried to made page which only consist true information without any coin prices and any attractions. Only main occurred changes like algo change... I’m newbie on wiki, I understanding that i can make mistakes, but this page which you’ve delete it’s info page and not more. Any Links is not necessary there.
I’m discussed about that article with community members before move it from draft to main, as i understood you cannot justify your decision except referring to you personal understanding. Yes i’m not native speaker, but another community members can fix my mistakes. About external links i told you. You can easily delete links, why all article?
If violation of rules is only links please restore BitcoinZ article and i will clean all links except github link. Thanks
Deb, understood Thanks

Deb, you put the page Ty Bennett up for speedy deletion under G11 citing "unambiguous advertising..." and also state that it appears to be promotional. Further, you insinuate a relationship between me and the subject. I have no such relationship, we've never met and I have no connection to him, and I wrote the article as objectively as possible (which is why it has a ton of objective citations). Can you please give me an example of something I wrote that is unambiguous or promotional? I'd like to write even better Wikipedia articles in the future and I'd also not like to have my hours of hard work speedy deleted just because someone didn't like it. Any advice is welcome. Cheers, tbc32
Hi Deb, You nominated my draft for speedy deletion under suspicion of advertising. I have since removed any non-objective parts of the article and added more citations.

Following up on the earlier Scanlan flag. Thanks for letting me know! I am helping Scanlan create the page - since it’s been a significant company in its community for almost 100 years, having a simple page with an overview of its history and function is important.
I completely understand concerns around making entries biased or promotional, so I would welcome any edits to the site to make it better for Wikipedia users. Would you recommend re-editing in the Sandbox? Again, the primary purpose is to inform of the company’s existence, not to market any products.
Apologies for the oversight, and thanks again for the heads up!

Thank-You Deb For being so nice!! (SmartCaptcha (talk) 15:29, 10 October 2019 (UTC))
Deb, as you have recently moved my article, can you help with the current submission. I have re-submitted it today after re-writing as my previous tag said that it had some promotional stuff and needs to be written again in order to meet the encyclopedic form. Can you tell if my current submission is good to go or does it need further improvement? (SmartCaptcha (talk) 15:35, 10 October 2019 (UTC))
According to the "standard" most of Wikipedia should be deleted! (Wallumbase (talk) 22:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC))
The article Copysafe PDF was added to support a forthcoming edit to the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software and was written similar to other supporting articles linked from there. In fact one was used a template and wording simply replaced where applicable. If my article does not satisfy the "standard" then none of the articles associated to "PDF Software" do either. So what is the purpose of "PDF Software" and why are all the other PDF applications listed and how can they be acceptable when all they do is "list the apps features" which seemingly is deemed to be "advertising"? (Wallumbase (talk) 22:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC))
Hi Deb. You speedy deleted PDF24 Creator, which was kept at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PDF24 Creator. I looked at the cached version of the deleted article and do not consider it to be "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". Would you restore the article? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 07:41, 12 October 2019 (UTC) @Cunard:, Thanks, I missed that. The version I deleted was substantially different from the one that was kept, but isn't any worse in terms of its promotional content. I deleted after a complaint from another editor who pointed out that his recently-deleted article was similar. I have restored, even though I don't think it's notable and I still think it has promotional content, so I've tagged accordingly. Deb (talk) 07:55, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
I agree that page was, at the time you deleted it, fairly advertising-like. However, it looks like it had been a more neutral article for a while until someone added the ad material[5]. Would it be reasonable to undelete it and then revert the article to prior to that edit? DMacks (talk) 19:38, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

With reference to the date of birth of Michael III, your source seems to contain a typo or other form of mistake. In cases of genuine scholarly uncertainty it is always best to give multiple dates, with citations, rather than delete any and give the reader a false sense of certainty, as this is essentially 'own research'.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kate Charles is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kate Charles until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-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 notice from the top of the article. HalJor (talk) 01:43, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Your recent editing history here and here and here shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree.
In the three examples above you deleted valuable material added by A Thousand Words, then you were reverted by Pudeo, you persisted, I reverted you, you persisted, and finally 1Kwords had to fix your deletions.
To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. XavierItzm (talk) 09:53, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

User:Deb - I realize that this happened three days ago, but I have only now followed up on it. I see that you deleted a statement by Santasa99 from DRN: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard&type=revision&diff=928762311&oldid=928760327&diffmode=source Did you consider the statement to be a personal attack, or was there a violation of discretionary sanctions? Why did you remove it? If you thought that it violated talk page guidelines as a personal attack or otherwise violated civility, I will defer to your judgment. However, in general, when I provide a statement for back-and-forth discussion, its purpose is to let the parties say silly stuff that can be ignored.
This isn't why did you delete my article. This is why did you delete someone else's insulting post. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:32, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Deb,
I am here because you recently gave my page a speedily deletion due to promotion.
This page should not be speedily deleted because this is a fan page for Tess Vockler, a DJ who I follow. She does not have a page already, so I wanted to create the page for her. I listen to her music & have been to her performances, and Wikipedia is where I find most of my favorite artists' information so I figured I would create the page in case anyone else came across her and was a fan of her music.
Could you please explain to me why this is considered promotional? And if so, what I am missing from the resources I have found on the site?
Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pholcomb9 (talk • contribs) 05:09, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Deb,

However, would you please be able to update the tag and allow for the page to exist.

Hello Deb,
Thank you for reviewing my recent article on Harrick Plasma. The article was deleted, I believe mainly because of my link to the Harrick Plasma website and the comment on over 4,000 peer reviewed technical articles. I see how these can appear promotional, so they will not be included again. I believed, at the time, that this would hold up as a good source because, if followed, the link displays all 4,000 citations.
My intent was to focus on the research, and not to promote. I believe Harrick Plasma easily fits within wikipedia's notability standards considering the shear number of third party sources. I could pivet from research articles to news sources, but those actually seemed much more promotional to me. If there is an aspect of this that I am missing here, please let me know.
If you have any additional comments that may help me, that would be much appreciated.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))

Hello Deb
Thank you for your speedy review. I would like to know whether you can suggest how to correct the errors as I have stated below:
The article has 1 external link to the company website. Do I remove this?
Otherwise I have read the Wikipedia rules and wrote the article based on published articles and styles.
I am not being paid for this article or have any affiliation with the company. I want to do so in the future, but I asked a few companies if I could write about their business on Wikipedia for free to gain some experience in navigating through the process. I have three companies who have agreed to this and I will receive no compensation as I did not guarantee any results. I do however let them read the article before I publish.
If you have any more advice for me I would truly appreciate it as I understand you are very busy.
Hope to hear from you soon and again thank you for your assistance.

Dear Deb,
On the 9th January 2020, you removed the wiki page "Padmakara Translation Group", on the grounds of copyright issues. But the text, in question, had been taken from a website of the Padmakara Translation Group itself, and cited, so there is no grounds for this, I think. This is a non-profit organisation that belongs in Wikipedia because of its value to society, and Western Buddhism in particular, it's not a company, I know that they actually don't depend on sales or marketing, because all of their translators work on the basis on scholarship funds, and sponsorship like from Tsadra Foundation (see below).
I've just collected some links from other foundations and so on to try prove it's worth. I don't belong directly to the organisation, but "we" my girlfriend and I both noticed that the page had been deleted, because the content has been highjacked by this website: https://pt.qwe.wiki/wiki/Padmakara_Translation_Group . Which is displaying the page you deleted but as a way of showing advertising. They are abusing wikipedia material, and translating it with automatic translation.
This is an institution that cannot have its page merely deleted, because they are recommended by all the great teachers of Buddhism today, starting by the Dalai Lama himself. I just started to edit their page because there were abusive links placed there, and one was old.
Some other reference Links: https://khyentsefoundation.org/2016-khyentse-fellows/

Hello. You deleted my article Marathon_Group_(russian_company) for advertising, but it seems to me that this is the result of a misunderstanding and, possibly, my lack of understanding of the features of the English literary style.
The company itself is very interesting both in the context of taking control of Magnit, the largest Russian food retailer by the state-owned VTB Bank, and in connection with its active presence in the Russian pharmaceutical market (there was a time when it entered the top 7 among Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers) and a failed merger with Naсimbio - russian semimonopolist in vaccine market, stateowned via Rostec.
Could you restore this article to me in draft page? I would like to finalize it, and do correct by removing possible problems whith advertisment-style clauses.

Hello Deb, I'm honestly growing pretty tired of the "Yuni Wa" wiki page constantly being deleted, I didnt create this wiki for advertising purposes or for promoting. I'm just trying to make a wiki that has accurate information about "Yuni Wa" for the 10 million plus people that have streamed "Yuni Wa's" music. I just want to contribute positively to Wikipedia and make a accurate profile for this notable artist but I'm having a hard time because none of the editors can understand why Yuni Wa is notable because no one is reading the major press coverage links or paying attention to the traffic the music is getting. They are simply deleting the account because they think its self advertisement even though it isnt self advertisement, its about havng the most accurate information possible and no one has more accurate information about Yuni Wa than me.Princetoncole —Preceding undated comment added 15:10, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

I have just noticed that you have reverted my entry in "births" section on January 22 article, by mentioning "no new entries without inline citations". I added an entry about Roshan Singh, who is a well known Indian freedom fighter and is already mentioned in "Deaths" section in December 19 article. I have made just a few modifications on Wikipedia to date. So, can you guide or suggest me exactly which type of inline citation should be added? I am not asking for the source of citation, I am just asking whether it is sufficient to add a citation from a biography available online on some other website, or there must be a citation from a book or official document?

Hi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:33, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Deb,
You flagged a page I was working on a while ago, and I have now supplemented it with a proper amount of sourcing and information. Would it be possible for you to review it and have it cleared as an article?
Here is a link to the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Thaiboy_Digital
Thank you,

Hi Deb,
Saw your response on my page, thank you for the speedy answer. I have submitted it for review but it has been three months now and the estimate for how long it will take only gets longer. Is there a way I could expedite the process?
Thank you,

Good deal. Thanks for the heads-up. Red Director (talk) 19:18, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Deb,
A community member notified me that this wikipedia page about me had a flag on it. There was an external link to a site that redirected to yellowpages.org, which I replaced with an archive.org URL for the web archived version of the actual page. I carefully re-read the NPOV guidelines and each sentence on the page to make sure the statements are neutral and facts. If there's another problematic link, or the language is problematic, please let me know and I'll happily change it so it meets Wikipedia's standards. Awfief (talk) 19:43, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Deb,
If you check out the "Talk" page for Sheeri Cabral, you'll see that I went through this process 10 years ago - I did not write the article about myself, I am well aware of the conflict of interest guidelines. I have gone in and made small edits - cleaned up formatting, updated a picture, added or fixed citations as the policy allowed back then. I absolutely have not made the type of edits that would qualify as a "major contributor"! I have read the updated COI policy and I see that basically no edits are allowed; I will adhere to that now.
The links to blogs are the official MySQL blogs where news was announced 10 years ago; the link to iTunes is a citation for the podcast. These are primary sources that I do not manage (and again, most of the links were not added by me).
I have also removed the self-promotional content from my User page. (sorry, I never did read those guidelines, but I have now, thanks for alerting me!) Awfief (talk) 21:03, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Deb,
Okay, I'll take your word for it that the article wasn't created by you, but it was created by an anon contributor
You don't have to take my word for it. The history page shows it was created by the user "AlexGorbachev", who was the CTO of the company I worked at, at the time. I explained on the talk page:
Yes, my CTO created the page. He'd asked for a list of accomplishments for an award nomination, and combined with my resume (which he has on file but is also publicly available at sheeri dot com slash resume) he made the page. Apparently someone else from my company cleaned up the page. My CTO told me about the wikipedia page and I read it immediately, and then edited it with the changes you see under the handle "Awfief". So even though the time frames for the editing were close (and the IP addresses may be similar, or even the same, due to our company NAT), that doesn't mean that the page is auto-biographical.
The edits I made were not part of the COI at the time. My page was marked for speedy deletion due to a claim of autobiographical content 10 years ago, which is when I put that note in. A month later, it was flagged for not meeting notability requirements, and I wrote:
The awards were the official MySQL AB and then Sun Microsystems awards, they're only given out once per year, and they give them to 3 people per year, starting in 2006. It's a rare thing.
As for the book -- it's *the* beginner/intermediate reference, just as High Performance MySQL is *the* advanced reference. I'm not sure how to prove a book is notable, currently amazon.com lists it as: "Amazon.com Sales Rank: #112,981 in Books (See Bestsellers in Books)" -- that's pretty darn good, ranking about 113,000 among *all* books, ever, not just tech books.
Also notable is being invited to give a keynote at the MySQL Conference -- again, this was *the* official MySQL Conference, the biggest one, and I was invited by the Conference Committee (ie, not a 'sponsorship' keynote). That implies that the folks who create and update the software think I'm important.
I have given a lot back to the community, including (but not limited to) podcasts, been a consistent top MySQL blogger for the past 4 years, software, free presentations. Because of this, most people in the MySQL community would know who you are talking about if you talk about "Sheeri". I am notable in the MySQL niche, so only if that niche is too small should this article be deleted (in which case you'd have to delete the articles for Monty_Widenius and Brian_Aker too. (note that I'm not AS famous as they are in the general open source world, but most folks in the MySQL world do know my name).
At the time, SoulSole, the editor who flagged it for notability criteria, accepted those as notability criteria. Since then, I have made more notable contributions, though I cannot add them to the page because that's a conflict of interest.
I am currently not a part of the MySQL community any more, so I do not benefit from having this Wikipedia page. However, I object to erasing my historical contributions, particularly in an area of expertise that had so few women leaders (I hope it's different now!). I can do the work to find different citations, and suggest them on the talk page, so I don't violate the current COI policy.
However, I would like some guidance on: What a citation for a podcast should be - I manage the podcast's website, so it doesn't seem appropriate to link there, but an iTunes link isn't correct either...?
What a citation for news that's on an official industry blog should be - I can suggest links to replace the dead links, but they will be web archive links to the original source, and if the official MySQL blog is not a credible source, please let me know what is (I may have video recordings of the award ceremonies, but that would be video I took, on a youtube channel I own, which again doesn't feel appropriate.)
I want to work within the guidelines. I am honest about my edits - I don't edit anonymously. Adding citations and updating the current employer are not "substantial edits" according to the Wikipedia editor who removed the autobiographical flag when this came up 10 years ago.

I am truly surprised that RBC Bearings Inc. Wikipedia page was deleted less than 12 hours after I created it. Following are some of the main reasons that RBC Bearings Inc page should be reinstated.
I read the article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view and do not see anything that stands out. What the company does, who they supply, their facilities/plants, what they manufacture as well as the history and acquisitions which are all facts.
I believe it is prematurely deleted. Please undelete and provide me an opportunity to make changes or edits. I would like your input or suggestions regarding changes and edits that would make this page acceptable.

On 17 March,16:17h, you made a considerable edit in the lead of article European migrant crisis: you simplified a citation from the EU President Tusk in November 2015 – saying that "restoring (..) border control (..) was" a race against time in saving the Schengen Agreement – into: "there was" a race against time to save the Schengen Agreement. (Tusk admitted that "this" [= "re-imposition of border controls"] was a race to save the Schengen Agreement, says the article, several times, in different wordings.) First of all, I'd like to know, why you removed that (substantial, consequential) part of that statement of Tusk. Secondly, I'm rather cross at you for 'treacherously', covertly, presenting that edit which obviously (and importantly) changed the contents of the cited statement as if it were only a "minor edit" involving only an "improve wording", as you noted in your edit summary. What are you driving at, with such (manipulative, dishonest) behaviour? Please, start working honestly and cooperatively, in Wikipedia. --Corriebertus (talk) 12:35, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Wikipedia has tags, which every editor advised to use. You constantly delete rather than improve. Why are you not working with the editors? I recognize you constantly delete other editors additions, too. If you weren't administrator, wouldn't that qualify against some Wikipedia rule? This is a perfectly correct, valid, addition: [[7]]. You should reverse yourself. BlueMadrigal (talk) 18:54, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

But you are right it "won't benefit him directly" because he is dead. I am merely trying to provide factual information about a person.

A tag has been placed on Alfonso Calderon (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
per WP:TWODABS and per WP:SMALLDETAILS, there is no need for a disambiguation page when there is only two people, and they both use different spellings (one uses an accent, the other does not).
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. cookie monster (2020) 755 19:50, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

that there was a consensus that their behavior was problematic, but the close lacks an explicit warning.

I have been on Wikipedia for a decade and i certainly know the policies. You just speedy deleted a page i created without even contacting me or bothering to check if the user that created it is trustworthy. That page was about one of the largest reinsurers in the world and was well referenced but since you saw it was a stub you deleted it sending me a canned message about advertising and bla bla bla without even checking the contents. Great job , keep it up Itemirus (talk) 11:33, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
"It is one of the leading reinsurers" is a statement, it is a fact. It is not an advertisement. Besides that, reinsurers do not advertise at all because their clients are big insurance companies and sell their services via dedicated channels, as their business is in a market niche that most people do not even know exists. I would agree on speedy deletion if i advertise a product from a company. I was instead stating that PartnerRe is a leading reinsurer. So you are the one wrong on all counts. You could have placed a tag or ask for clarification in the talk page if you are unfamiliar with the matter. The simple fact that an editor with a 13 year history of contributions to Wikipedia created the article could have suggested that maybe it was not a simple advertising article created by an obscure IP editor but that maybe it was a worthwhile page to keep and ask for clues in the talk page. That would have been the proper procedure to follow. Itemirus (talk) 16:14, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi. After your block of User:Senor Freebie, I declined his unblock request and then later checked up on the cause of the "bias" he accused me of (I'd forgotten having interacted with him before). It was in 2017, and looking back at that and his talk page since, I'm seeing chronic personal attacks whenever he gets into disagreements, including some really quite nasty ones. So, I've given him a stern warning at User talk:Senor Freebie#Warning, and if you can spare a few minutes I'd appreciate your thoughts on whether I'm being fair, too strict, or what?

As Serial Number 54129 has asked me to. Here are the diffs for the COI accusations and other frankly unpleasant editing and comments from JJ. accusation of COI, Accusation of bias, when as you can see clearly what was there was not neutrally written or included all points, accusation of censoring, accusation of bias which another editor then changed wording and said it wasn't bias, Accusation of bias and POV, I don't see any in that change, this edit summary, COI accusation, Wici Rhuthun 1 COI accusation (I suspect that there has been something going on) and COI accusation. Also the reason why I slapped a warning weeks ago at him was because he would edit against sources, inserting bias and not writing something neutral and have all the facts in and state something in his edit summary which was not what he was doing. But apparently that's bullying. Numerous times Defacto has told him of NPOV, balance and among other things. He refuses to acknowledge that he is disruptive and accuses others of behaviour.

Hi Deb,
This has been my first opportunity to communicate with you since you blocked me. I'd like to clear up a few things. First off; the admins Ad Orientem & Boing both blocked me previously for commenting on similar matters regarding American war crimes on the article Battle of Brisbane. I find their judgement to be questionable at best, because they supported the view that material that put American military forces involved in extrajudicial killings of African Americans was not relevant to Wikipedia. Leaving that aside, I'd like make you aware of my feelings regarding the block and the conduct of the editors involved:
I was not aware of your warning to block people for edits. Based on the talk page discussion at the time of my last edit on Phoenix Program, you did not revert to the last undisputed edit, but rather to one that was no longer in dispute. This was explained on the ANI discussion, but removed by one of the involved editors before you arrived; Diff meaning that you lacked context in your decision making. I'm happy to consider this matter over. I'm frankly put off from the Wikipedia project in general at the moment by the behaviour of others involved in this, and in light of my understanding of American interference in the neutrality of this project. I have made an effort to correct errors in articles on subjects relating to war crimes in particular because I consider this an area of historical importance, but repeatedly I have come up against specific groups of users exhibiting ownership like behaviour on these articles, manipulation of the Wikipedia rules, and administrators. These editors seem specifically focused on removing articles that comment on matters of historical record that portray US military forces in a negative light. And it's just too much effort for a layperson to get involved, much less defend themselves from such bad faith behaviour.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:02, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Deb, to summarize the closing statement, there was a general consensus to standardize under a single name rather than keep things as is, and weighting the different arguments (all shows vs. all programs vs. all programmes), both Fayenatic london and I agreed that the weight of argument for "shows" was strongest.
I do think that there are some deeper issues involving WP:ENGVAR at play that I do not think that CFD is the right venue to handle. I really think that an RFC should be brought about this whole matter because now there's a growing rift between articlespace and category space. I would not be surprised if further discussions actually revert what happened in this particularly CFD, because the category tree is still far from being uniform. Nevertheless, if you feel that the closure was improper, you're welcome to take it to move review per the standard process. Thanks, bibliomaniac15 19:59, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello Deb, Greetings! Would you consider removing ′create-protected′ status of page Kartikeya Gummakonda? The draft at AfC, is well-written with reliable refs. --Gpkp [u • t • c] 08:10, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Hey Deb! My post was recently deleted. Full disclosure I work for the company - I tried to write in such a way that it was not an advertisement.... is their something specifically I can improve? Additonally, can I add secondary sources. Nothing put in it was subjective (everything was factual/data-based). I read everything linked about COI but just wanted to get more feedback.

Deb, you deleted my draft on MTI yesterday. It was a Draft and I had not Submitted for posting. I thought I could still work on it before it was actually submitted for review.

Hello. I maintain the 2020 in rock page, among others. At least 3 times now, you slapped the globalize tag on the article. And three times I’ve asked you to explain what should be added. The scope of the article is major rock releases and events. What sort of thing do you feel is lacking? COVID is making it a slow year for much of the music industry, especially rock. If there’s some major rock release or event needing documentation from South America, I’d love to add it. But I’ve got my finger on the pulse of rock music. And I don’t know of anything like that. And I’m virtually the only person who contributes to the page. So if I don’t know what you’re referring to, the tag isn’t helping. I’m not against adding more info from other regions. I’d like that actually. I’m just against adding tags on articles that just sit there indefinitely and don’t help anything. If you can’t elaborate, and the only contributor doesn’t know what to add. A tag isn’t helping. Sergecross73 msg me 19:48, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, so in light of the recent discussions to do with John Lewis on Talk:2020 as well as other edits where domestic politicians are added by users on the main yearly pages, I was wondering if you'd be interested in working with me on coming up with a new standard for these pages. One which essentially decides which politicians are to be included on the yearly pages - on the basis of their positions achieved and/or the notability & impact they had internationally. Over the last year alone, I've found that there has been multiple occasions where the passings of domestic politicians (almost all members of the US Congress) are added onto the main yearly pages with little debate unless they are invariably brought up by (usually) either of us. Hopefully we can come up with some sort of strict guidelines which'll ultimately limit which politicians would be added onto the main yearly pages, and in turn tighten the Deaths sections and perhaps even reduce the number of arguments on these pages. --Thescrubbythug (talk) 14:46, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi Deb. You recently deleted a draft that I wrote called Draft:Lark (software), saying that it was written like an advertisement. I would greatly appreciate it if you could restore the draft and give me the opportunity to remove any promotional elements from the text, so that I can then resubmit it to be evaluated through the AfC process.
I've read the policy you linked to explaining that Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion, and I am happy to follow this policy to the letter. I tried to use the simplest, most neutral language to describe on a basic level what Lark does and to concisely outline a few key points in its history, but if you and others believe the language was still too promotional, I will trust your judgment. But at least give me a chance to salvage the article by rewriting it in a neutral point of view.
A final note: Every paragraph in the draft was referenced, and not one reference was to a company website or to a press release. All six sources cited were reliable sources (to the best of my understanding) and five of the six sources cited represented significant coverage of the software, not passing mentions. I have also followed Wikipedia's paid editing guidelines by disclosing my conflict of interest in the appropriate places and by submitting a draft through AfC. Please allow the Wikipedia community to evaluate Lark's notability, and give me the time and constructive criticism to bring the text up to Wikipedia's standards. Thank you, JatBD (talk) 13:27, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
Why did you delete my draft:MINEBLOCK please answer I wasn’t advertising

I created a couple of articles recently as you may remember however they're all taking extremely long to be reviewed due to the massive backlog. I'm sure you're not allowed to review your own articles but I felt that if I could help reduce the backlog it would help the community as a whole. I seem to meet 500 mainspace edit criteria but I'm not sure about the other criteria there. Could you help me out here? Debitpixie 💬 14:12, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
