I sent this to Cirt a few days ago:
But you had already deleted the three images in question after I sent it. So now my question to you is: Do I have to go through all of their other uploaded images and find the image on the web they copied? Or should all the remaining images be deleted now since they are all the same (obvious non-free images given a fake CC-SA license)? Thanks. :) Mike Allen 21:14, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Very well. Thank you for you and all the other admins' comments. You can delete it now.Eridani (talk) 03:35, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Dear Fastily
Today i created the page for "Puku ltd" which you have subsequently removed. I would like to ask you to reconsider this action as the information on the page was entirely encyclopedic and in no way promotional. No pricing, or advertising material was included in any way and the page only served to inform the reader of the basic functions of Puku Ltd. We do not sell any products. We only assist in the design, development and licensing of new fastening and other technologies.The article was based on the introductory paragraph style of Nike's page, perhaps Nike's page should aslo be removed?
Sincerely
The Creator —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.58.168.202 (talk) 06:13, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Im sorry I just sent you a message concerning Puku Ltd's page yet sent it without leaving contact information.

I work for the campaign and have rights to the headshot that I uploaded onto Wikipedia. I don't know how to best describe that in wikipedia terms, but it's the property of Lazio 2010, Inc. and I am authorized to use it. The picture that they keep reverting to is from the early 90's and is completely outdated. Any idea how I reinstate the picture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Littleelephant (talk • contribs) 17:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I have to protest the indef blocking of the above editor. The person who reported them for vandalism did so incorrectly given the fact that WP:RS supports Lovegames additions. While a short-term block for 3RR might be appropriate after proper warnings, an indef block for vandalism seems extremely bitey. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 22:30, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
You STILL have not spelled out how to properly mark a foto so it will not be deleted. You ARE telling me why, and I DO get that-you've communicated that quite well and repeatedly, but what I need to know is how and for what exactly your looking. Stop making me engineer this myself please. Please give me a direction or a hyperlink to examples of proper citation, and not just "good luck". We're not getting anywhere/this is ineffective, and others have the same issue. For what do we look on websites giving permission & exactly how to you want it cited & where? Thanks. Adam. Aug. 9th., 2010. The image can be found here: http://www.healthline.com/channel/goiter_images?id=nwaz_01_img0114
I uploaded this jpg earlier and it was promptly deleted. I thought I correctly added the hyperlink to the permission, the correct permission, etc.

Hi: I was writing to ask a bit more about why you deleted my article about EMSpanol. In particular I would like to know what violated Wikipedia guidelines such that you decided to delete the article.
I have been looking this evening through Wikipedia and see articles far more "self-promoting" than mine was (which is ironic since I'm writing about someone else...)
In particular I looked up Scotty Cameron, the putter maker, and Pimsleur Language Learning Systems. Taken from a certain perspective, these articles do nothing but promote a product or business... so how did my article differ really? I'm not angry, just confused. I'm new to Wikipedia and am somewhat taken aback by the unwelcoming attitude...I spent a long time writing that article, sought feedback, improved the article, all the things I was supposed to do, and poof. You decide it's not worthy...
I'm sure you get this type of letter all the time since I see you are on the upload police, but may I at least have an explanation? What do I have to do to make the article acceptable?
Thanks, JP Paramedicjames (talk) 02:57, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
What I want to add is not controversial, purely his own responding statements regarding apostasy in black and white (i.e. says it's OK to convert out of Islam but punishable by death if propagated against etc..) from publicly videotaped lectures put up on youtube. And also add some about the fate of an apostate who got in trouble and was put in protective custody and arrested at the same time when publicly renouncing his faith and for asking some very uncomfortable questions, which inadvertently angered alot of devoted Homo Sapiens during one of those recent lectures of pure enlightenment on the Maldives.
Even if those opinions of Dr Zakir are considered controversial to more emotionally reactive people it's still no basis not to allow it to be published, Wikipedia was not a place to just promote good PR and Orwellian spins but access as much accurate information possible last time I checked.
/Snark off
I'd also like to specifically put that text in a new topic; "Zakir Nafiq's views on Apostasy under Islamic Shari'a law" which would be more suited to place there than under "lectures and debates" so that won't get too polemic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antidotic (talk • contribs) 05:49, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello
I am struggling to understand how to edit the pages in a special way. For instance I was using hypertext and headers, which is not what I normally do. You also suggested that I use an informative edit summary as I did do.
Can you let me know what I am not understanding? Try and make it easy to understand, I am not very good at communicating with other Wikipedia users about editing, as this is something that I have never done before; unlike what I do on Yahoo messenger, it is totally different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.56.133 (talk) 22:50, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I have read the page of 'Original research' and I understand what it says, in terms of both not making your own research or making certian kinds of interpretations of referenced research; but how do you know it is not a violation of the orriginal research regulation, if I cannot copy the information from a given source? Copying the information would be a breach of copywrite law, is that correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.56.133 (talk) 23:20, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

This is why i consider revisions from Rzrscm and Michig vandalism.
This is written to Rzrscm
"I consider your revision vandalism and fictitious because you state that Ken Sorceron often wore dresses and played in various hardcore bands. If you check the facts Ken Sorceron was only in Victims In Ecstacy towards the end of the band which at that time they did not wear dresses at all, but suites, which is a far cry from dresses, the problem is not including his membership in the band in the past but mentioning wearing dresses often which he did not is simply not true. Also various hardcore bands is false. Ken Sorceron played in 1 hardcore band called Kyds Vs Coumbus and never another one prior or after that. While your at it why would you not mention his membership with Belgian death metal band Aborted, or the briefly signed to Roadrunner metal band Born Of Fire? He also is the ex drummer of Arizona death metal band, Reign Of Vengeance. There is fare more relevance to the article with those more recent bands but instead of including them you start the article out with half truths. THAT is vandalism by definition. If you can revise the article to include these things and remove the part about dressed and VARIOUS hardcore bands and be more specific then that would be a worthwhile addition to this article but until then it is vandalism." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.233.174 (talk) 23:12, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I did let see you updated it but I wanted time to digest what I did right and wrong, and then it went into the Pile of Things To Do. I appreciate the friendly reminder! I also appreciate that this is getting hard, because I'd be really disappointed if I didn't feel challenged. (I'm actually quite surprised how easy it was for awhile there.) There are endless explosions in my corner of the world right now, but I will endeavor to get some more answers done before the dramaout renders me briefly silent.

Hi there. You just recently deleted Kevin Feng, which I had nominated for speedy under G11. The page has been created and deleted 5 times within about 5 weeks. There have also been a number of related pages deleted several times, all dealing with the same basic topic. ABCs of Attraction, The Asian Playboy (and Asian Playboy, after the first title was creation protected), and once JT Tran. There are two editors involved in the creation of these pages, User:Lucywriter and User:Princetoncc. Is there anything that can be done to stop these editors from recreating these pages again and again? It seems to me that they are putting little (if any) effort into actually trying to make the articles meet Wiki guidelines/criteria. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 23:12, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

An editor left a ((hangon)) after you deleted the article. I deleted it along with the talk page since there was nothing there. Looking at the deleted edits, I think it was an IP that added all of the promotional text in there. Would you consider undeleting the article and reverting back to the February 8, 2010 revision? That revision would be a stub, but it would be without the advertising prose. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:22, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fastily. Regarding this IP warning – it's probably better to revert edits such as this as "good faith" edits. While the text wasn't within the keeping of the tone, it certainly wasn't a bad intentioned one. Perhaps it's probably best to just revert and only warn IPs which have persistent bad edits. This way, it means that new users aren't scared off by warnings on their first few edits. Cheers! Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)Join WikiProject Athletics! 00:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

In response to your request for further information regarding specific changes to Senator Grassley's wiki page -

Rather than using DFU to mark short rationales (which seems to annoy people), I've created a new template, whose inclusions you should perhaps monitor...
Template is ((Short-Rationale)), the wording on the template should be reasonably clear.
I've also created ((Standard-Rationale)), to mark non-free images that have FUR, but where the FUR given is not in one of the standard template forms (most often derived from ((Non-free use rationale)) IIRC ).
The creation of these templates is a BE BOLD attempt to clear the backlog of images on the relevant WP:DBR report, and hopefully to ensure the removal of some of the false-positives the report into images lacking rationales generates..

Hi Fastily: You deleted my previous article about EMSpanol for being non-encyclopedic and promotional. You invited me to rewrite and submit for feedback. I have done so. I have only included factual, encyclopedic information, and have reviewed other articles on similar topics and copied their style. I studied Wikipedia formatting guidelines and followed them, and included outside sources for the information in the article. If you still object to elements of the article, please tell me now so that I can improve it before having it deleted again. Thank you.

Thanks. I made another major rewrite focused on the increasing rate and severity of contact between EMS and Hispanic Patients. I removed all references to EMSpanol books in particular, outside of the simple statement that Emergency Language Systems maintains a copyright for EMSpanol books.

Hi Fastily,
I dont know any admins but saw you on some page thus its you I contact. I wrote a few original articles on Wikipedia. One, Alexander Pechersky, I feel deserves a high rating than a C. Unfortunately the person reviewing it is making (in my view) unreasonable demands with edits. I would just like to have a neutral person (you) to take a look at the demands (on my talk page) and at the article and give your view. I understand you are expert with images, but after reading the article I am sure you can form an opinion. I feel its a solid article on which I spend over 40 hours researching and referencing and it deserves better than a C. I default to your judgement. Cheers! Meishern (talk) 11:35, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello, You asked what I will specifically change on the Sarah Jessica Parker section. Actually, very little. In the Filmography section, The Little Match Girl is listed and someone wrote in the Notes section "Cameo: Uncredited". That is completely inaccurate. Not only is SJP in every single scene in that program, but she is listed in the closing credits as Sarah Parker. So I was going to simply remove the the existing notes replace them with "as Sarah Parker". Minor I know, but I have always been a perfectionist and errors like this are always unsettling for me to read. As I mentioned, I would be happy to let someone else make these changes on my behalf. I am not a SJP fan or expert outside of her work on that one special, so I doubt I would need access to her page beyond this one update.

Hi,
You deleted the page for our winery - Bacio Divino. I just noticed it's gone now and am trying to find an archived copy of the page to re-create.

Fastily,
Good evening. I'm a media professor at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and writing regarding the removal of this User page on Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jillathrilla
The user, Jillian Anthony, is part of the Newhouse graduate program and as part of her first assignment for news reporting class (along with 75 other students) was asked by me to create a Wikipedia profile. The purpose is to give students a structured writing exercise as well as work with a Content Management System on a site that is well known.
I hope there is a way Jillian's user profile can be restored along with suggestions as to where she needs to tone down the promotion.
The assignment is due at 9 a.m. Monday so will need a response by Sunday for Jillian to make her deadline for a grade.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Well, there's another one I've added to the list. Not exactly good at this, is he? Majorclanger (talk) 10:38, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Been another false edit since you denied the semi-protect. I gather they'll be a bunch more if its not protected. That's how these pages of free agent athletes tend to work. Most IPS/new users don't edit these pages maliciously as they want to be the one to break the news, but it becomes very disruptive and bad for the page to keep changing. I hope I'm wrong in this case, but the proof is in the pudding, haha. --Airtuna08 (talk) 07:15, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I am kindly requesting that you grant me rollback rights. I have learned from previous mistakes with Wikipedia and have taken time to reflect and improve on these problems.

How is the description at Getty not enough? It's rights-managed (restrictions on usage, such as limitations on size, placement, duration of use and geographic distribution) and copyright 2010 Getty Images. It obviously wouldn't pass any fair use scenarios. What do I need to provide so that we can get rid of blatant copyright material? Does Getty often make an exception to grant Wikipedia free use of it's copyright images? --Onorem♠Dil 18:13, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
Fastily: this is not a case of blatant advertising. I was told when I first created the article that I didn't supply verifiable references. I have now done that. There is a lengthy article in the Ann Arbor Observer, June, 1993, by Peter Ephross, titled Tom Isaia's Coffee Express. Another (of many) appeared in a January 11, 1995 issue of the Detroit Free Press, by Patty LaNoue Stearns, called High on the Good Stuff.
Coffee Express impacted the early days of the nascent specialty coffee industry and I am providing references to substantiate this. While I'm not adept at providing content to Wikipedia, I would appreciate help and suggestions as opposed to summarily deleting everything I'm attempting.
Thank you.

Hi, I've noticed you deleted some images that were in an article I wrote [5] under F11 which seems was indeed the case. I was just wondering if you could tell me who the original uploader of these images was so that I could contact them and see if the authorship/copyright status of the pics can be established. Because the images have been deleted I don't know how to check who it was. Thank you very much in advance.radek (talk) 10:22, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

You recently protected the Genesis Creation Narrative page for 1 week per User:Gniniv's request. Please note that this user is a disruptive editor who has a history of requesting full page protection when his edits are reverted. He's more than once threatened to do this repeatedly until his POV is added to an article. He tries to use page protection not to stop legitimate edit warring, but as a bargaining chip when his own edits oppose consensus. If you have the time, could you take a closer look into this issue? Thank so much! Jess talk cs 01:28, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Gniniv is a problematic editor who is pushing a YEC POV and refusing to compromise, listen or adjust his editing to be in compliance with established protocols. He has a LONG (many months) history of this type of behavior, either abandoning a page when his edits are not accepted or trying to hold it hostage with a FPP. Please refer to my talk page (User_talk:Raeky#What_do_you_think_of_this.3F) where I've been having a conservation with admin Dougweller about his recent activities. This user can safely be classified as a troll, imho (and others). By granting his FPP request, your just aiding in his disruptive behavior. — raeky (talk | edits) 01:53, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I am curious if there is another route I can take to resolve my conflicts with the editors of these articles. It seems that protecting the article to prevent edit war is not acceptable.

Is there a different method I could use?--Gniniv 02:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

After I tagged the page with a expanding tag, the page was added to my watchlist automatically. Well, then I saw where you deleted the same page yesterday. Soooo. I dunno.

Let me please explain about the conflict of interest claim. I run a writing company, and am frequently assigned to write articles by third parties. There is NO conflict of interest if I am paid by a freelance company to complete an assignment given to me. I have never met these individuals, and until I was given the assignment, I had never heard of them.
There is no conflict of interest here, and I need to know what else is wrong with my work, so it can be quickly fixed and completed.
I am being paid a substantial amount of money to get this done, and you are impeding it.

Dear sir
I am a representative of the Peace Centre in Warrington, England. The Peace Centre is a registered charity set up following the killing of 2 children in Warrington by the IRA in 1993. It is a charity and its objectives are purely charitable and non profit making. It has many significant patrons who include John Major (former UK Prime Minister) and Emma Thompson (actress).
I have reviewed many other charitable organisations who have a presence in Wikipedia and they follow the same format as the page I created. You are therefore entirely wrong and it is inappropriate to delete this page on the basis of advertising. Please refer to the following webpage for further information on this charity: http://www.foundation4peace.org/
I would be grateful if you could revert to me with reasons as to why you have deleted the page. If you can suggest changes I will be happy to incorporate them. However, ultimately, I believe you are wrong to delete it.

I'm curious why you consider this to be lacking "meaningful, comprehensible content related to Wikipedia". Are you reviewing these individually or have you used a mass-deletion script? If it's, the latter this course of action is ill-advised (as is using a script to clean Category:Temporary Wikipedian userpages without first paying mind to the important caveats at the top of the page). See also relevant discussion here. –xenotalk 19:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Instead of helping me and pointing out what needs to be done with my article, your only solution is to send me to the wolves.

I see that you have deleted User talk:Armadia16 as a "Temporary Wikipedian userpage". While user pages are regularly deleted in this way, user talk pages are not normally deleted except in exceptional circumstances, such as serious libel.

That's great that you communicate the need to clarify copywrite status, the concept of copyrights, etc., but you really need to come up with a way to accurately teach intermediate users how to correctly implement & research copyright status. I'd sure like to keep editing pages, but if you are going to make it THIS difficult to do so, why would I want to waste my time/why would ANYBODY want to waste their time?
You need to communicate the method-not just the concept or your disappointment.
Ie: "Hey, I deleted your image because there's no copyright tag. Perhaps I can help you with this? Here's how to do this, have a great day! Go to the site from where you got the image. Now we're going to find out if you CAN use that image. Does the image fall into any of these categories: (a photo taken before 1922, blah blah blah, etc.), (more ie's/criteria), does the foto look like a publicity foto, a _____ foto, etc? Search the website for the page called "_________" and look for anything marked "images"... Sometimes it looks like this: _______. Think you can use the image? Okay! Upload it & in the area where you se this: __________ insert this: __________ or this: __________ or choose from one of these: ___________.".

I beleive this is incorrect, as the company name in this article had been included to state who had created this material.
The article intended to highlight the qualities or the material & it's uses, as a point of reference unlike the article refering to Vitreous Enamel. Please advise how this article can be submitted without falling foul of the G11 regulation?

You recently deleted University of Nevada Cooperative Extension and I wish to have it reviewed or request further explanation. To make my case, University of Nevada Cooperative Extension is a college under the University of Nevada, Reno, of which an article already exists - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Nevada,_Reno. Within that article you will find a reference to "Cooperative Extension Service." The Cooperative Extension Service that is referenced is known as University of Nevada Cooperative Extension. Furthermore, cooperative extension service "is a non-formal educational program implemented in the United States" - which, again, there is a Wikipedia article for cooperative extension service - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_extension and you will see that University of Nevada Cooperative Extension is listed on that page. And finally, there is an entry for Alabama Cooperative Extension System - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_Cooperative_Extension_System - which contains extensive information on what they do.

I'm wondering why this was deleted. First, no discussion was ever given to its status after the initial question and then the explanation by the editor who moved it to Trademarked but not copyrighted status. I had originally uploaded it as a copyrighted logo complete with a rationale and during the recent laborious Kent, Ohio FAC process there was question about the purpose of the seal in the article (citing WP:NFCC) and in response another editor believed it wasn't copyrighted at all for the reasons specified and thus NFCC wasn't an issue. Seems a bit rushed to delete it after all of two comments and not even looking at its edit history to see that it was previously listed as a copyrighted logo with a valid rationale. --JonRidinger (talk) 18:04, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Fastily, I am new to Wikipedia, and could use help understanding how to edit correctly. I came here at the behest of a journalist at Engineering News Record, who suggested that I should correct and amend inaccurate information on Gensler and Shanghai Tower as listed in Wikipedia articles. I am doing my best to do just that, but am experiencing problems. Images I post, for which I have full copyright, are gettting removed. These images are indeed used widely on the web, but I own them.
Secondly, edits I make to Gensler, or to Shanghai Tower, are deleted. I do work for the company that is the subject of the articles. I am attempting to correct inaccurate information (including removing images that we own, but have not released or given permission to use), add images to augment points made by previous authors, and add citations to support the correct information.
Yet all my text changes are erased and images, citations, and factual corrections are reverted by other editors. What can I do to improve the accuracy of the article, yet keep from violating any conflict of interest? My intent is to make the information on Wikipedia more correct. For example, in the "Gensler" article, the founders of the company are incorrect. The correct names of our company's founders are "Arthur Gensler, Drue Gensler and James R. Follett." There was no Jimmy Williams when we opened our doors. Additionally, the list of locations in the article is incorrect. These are two examples; there are others I attempted to correct, and when I did so, I cited sources. What should I do differently?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

hey I was wondering if you would be able to help me with posting an article. I tried yesterday but it was deleted because it looked like an advertisment. I understand why it was deleted and I would like to try and avoid having it deleted again. I have been working on it on word, instead of just copying and pasting from the website, and I think I have something that is more fact based about the company I am writing about. Could you possibly look at what I have and give me sugjestions to help me avoid having it deleted again.

While you've been gone, he's been a busy boy... almost busy enough for me to go to the hassle of an SPI report, but not quite. He's somehow managed to get to a new batch of Earthlink addresses, so the old rangeblocks are now less effective.
He's also taken to registering accounts, several of which have already been blasted out of existence. He's got a live one that I just found this morning - he's being less stupid about his edits than before.
Here are the known IPs, including the ones under the rangeblocks

The 165.*.*.* ones were the last he used before taking to registering accounts, so rangeblocking those would probably do the trick for now.
Registered (and blocked) accounts include:
FarmAgentRunning
EventRunning
TheRunningPatriot
DoggieRunning
AntiDoggieRunning
MindRunning
Runningenemy
StarkRunning
and my personal favorite:
Majorclanger_Jr.
His current live account is RoomsWoodlands, which is actually a little less obvious than the others. Note, his frequent use of "Oops!" when making and then reverting pointless page moves (as with other socks), the creation of useless redirects of King of the Hill episodes, like one of the "Running" accounts (the pages were deleted after his block, so I can't see which account made them). And the clincher - opening the account and immediately asking for help... just like all the Running accounts.
Thanks for looking at this. I probably should go ahead with an SPI, but writing it all up in a case format doesn't sound fun at all. Majorclanger (talk) 14:16, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

I noticed you deleted this article under G11. While I agree that it's a poorly written article, you may not be aware that it was kept as the result of an AfD debate. As such, I think G11 is a little rash. There's another CSD request at Sparx_Enterprise_Architect which cascades from this. Would you mind if I undeleted it?

I just noticed today that, last month, you deleted article about the 24 Hour Church of Elvis in Portland, Oregon for being advertising / promotion. While that may have been justified on those grounds, I think this is too bad. I don't recall the article very well, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was poorly written, but I would have protested at the time if I'd noticed. I just became aware of the fact now because I had originally wikilinked it in my article about Portland icon Tom Peterson. Although basically defunct now, the 24 Hour Church of Elvis was a Portland cultural landmark for years, and I believe it deserves a quality, encyclopedic treatment. Although most reliable reporting about it is now decades old and only to be found in newspaper databases, I know it's there, I have access to such materials, and I'd certainly be interested in recreating it the right way. (There is at least one quality source on the first page of Google's results, from AAA's travel magazine[18].) However, as a non-admin, I can't access the old version of the article, which might be helpful to start.

Hi, I recently added a page for Dr. Harvey Silverman (referenced on Dental Spa page and Univ. Alumni page) and it was deleted due to ambiguous or promotional content. Below is pasted information with citations - please advise if this is OK. Also, I'm sorry if this is the wrong way to contact, it said to contact first before reposting. Thank you!
Dr Harvey Silverman is an American cosmetic dentist. After graduating from Washington University School of Dental Medicine in 1978 Dr Silverman quickly turned his attention to finding a way to perfect the concept of dental bonding that was developed by Michael Buonocore in 1955. The concept of dental bonding found great initial use for placing dental sealants in the grooves of children’s molar teeth to reduce the incidence of dental decay. In the 1960’s and 1970’s bonding found limited application for restoring fillings in the anterior dentition. In 1979 “tooth bonding” became mainstream when the visionary Dr. Irwin Smigel of New York City published the book “Dental Health/Dental Beauty” and provided the first national demonstration of tooth bonding on the television series “That’s Incredible”[i].
Born in Brooklyn, New York City 18 November, 1952, Dr. Silverman experienced "old fashioned" dentistry as a child that was performed without local anesthesia (i.e., novocaine) and the notorious unpleasant slow speed belt driven handpiece. This preceded today’s concept of contemporary pain-free dentistry. Years later, after graduating from dental school, Dr. Silverman pursued the establishment of pain free dentistry. Transforming smiles with no shots and no drilling was where technology needed to be refined and developed to create that goal.
By 1983 Dr. Silverman had refined many of the initial tooth bonding technologies and was already a national clinician for Den-Mat Corporation, Santa Maria, California[ii], teaching continuing education seminars to his colleagues. Later that year he was approached by the IPCO Corporation, a national chain of independent dental laboratories, to help refine and pioneer the concept of bonding porcelain to the facial surfaces of teeth[iii]. By early 1984 Dr. Silverman had created a thin porcelain veneer technology with the IPCO dental laboratories that he shared with the dental profession through continuing education courses on how to transform smiles with composite and porcelain veneers[iv]. Dentists now had an alternative to composite bonding or placing crowns on teeth.
During the subsequent years Dr. Silverman felt public awareness needed to be created that cosmetic dentistry could actually be achieved without shots or drilling. There was still ample skepticism on behalf of the public and the dental profession. To overcome these misconceptions Dr.Silverman opened the country's first dental spa in a beauty setting[v] after working with the country's largest salon and spa developer, was a consulting and contributing editor to Dental Management Magazine[vi] to stimulate his colleagues interest in no shot, no drilling cosmetic dentistry, continued lecturing to the dental profession as a national clinician for the Dentsply/Caulk Company, Milford, DE, introduced and pioneered Extreme Dental MakeOvers to the dental profession[vii] and had opened the Institute of Dental Aesthetics[viii] in Cleveland, Ohio to train dentists who wanted personalized one-to-one training in the burgeoning field of cosmetic dentistry. According to dentists interviewed by Dental Management Magazine, these training programs helped dentists think from a patient's perspective, not just a dentist perspective and provided marketing, management and technique simplification training[ix].
The concept of no shot, no drilling pain free cosmetic dentistry had become widely accepted by the dental profession in the late 1980’s. However, cosmetic dentistry entailed more than just bonding and veneers. Many consumers still wanted whiter teeth without the time or expense associated with composite bonding or porcelain veneers. In 1989 Dr. Silverman invented and applied for a patent for one of the country's first OTC (over the counter) tooth whitening systems. In 1993, along with infomercial developer Guthy Renker Corporation and television celebrity Vanna White, Dr. Silverman's Perfect Smile Tooth Whitening System helped create today's OTC tooth whitening category[x] to brighten smiles throughout the globe[xi]. Following this project, Dr. Silverman was instrumental in pioneering and developing numerous advanced tooth whitening systems Including Kim Alexis' Rapid White, Telebrands' WhiteLight and Deborah Shelton's Smile. The tooth whitening category has grown significantly since Dr. Silverman introduced the Perfect Smile System and today millions of smiles continue to become whiter and brightened as a result of a variety of other tooth whitening technologies.
The new millennium has brought consumers, advanced technology and the dental profession together with never before heard of opportunities to change self-conscious smiles into self-confident smiles - without shots or drilling. Through the use of bonding, bleaching and no preparation porcelain veneers, the philosophy of the best dentistry is the least invasive dentistry is catching on as more dentists' chose to provide non-invasive veneers that do not require the destruction of healthy enamel to correct smile problems[xiii]. As a result of a lifetime of work dedicated to refining, developing and inventing cosmetic dentistry systems that do not require shots or drilling, Dr. Silverman has been consistently listed as a top clinician in CE for the dental profession for his work in cosmetic dentistry[xiv]. In recent years the Silverman Institute of Cosmetic Dentistry has taken over the initial pioneering work of the Institute of Dental Aesthetics[xv] where dentists can still refine the cosmetic dentistry skills outside of a large lecture hall. As a result of consumer demand for a simpler, easier way to change their smile without braces or porcelain veneers, Dr. Silverman recently invented the LifeLIke Veneer™ system that allows dentists to create natural looking smiles in just one visit - without shots, drilling, or the expense associated with porcelain veneers[xvi]. Dr. Silverman continues to develop new tooth whiteners for OTC and professional use as well as simplified veneer systems that will continue to give consumers access to having a bright, self-confident smile.

Thanks for your reply.
We are all volunteers here -- and sometimes we are too busy to clearly write our requests so people can understand them, or sometimes we are too busy to understand other people's requests.
I understand that you thought the original fair use rationale was inadequate.
I offered a alternate fair use rationale. I suggested that if a good faith alternate fair use rationale was suggested, this seemed to me to be a valid reason to review whether the image could be restored. As the administrator who deleted the image I thought it was appropriate to ask you to comment on the alternate fair use rationale I drafted. I thought if you found it adequate you could simply restore the image. I thought if you didn't find it adequate, either, you could explain what you thought was missing.
I know some administrators have no interest in giving a second look at their deletion decisions. Some administrators blow off questions, and tell those with concerns to take the article or image to deletion review. But the policies do tell those with questions to give the deleting administrator a chance to address their concerns, prior to taking their concern to deletion review. It seems to me that this is sensible, as a patient deleting administrator may provide answers to the good faith contributor's questions that would stem that deletion review, before it started, saving everyone a lot of time.

I've been trying over the past few days to make the Fashion Blog article one that is relevant, up to date and has more accurate information. Nearly all of my additions were unfairly marked as spam, despite the fact that none of my submissions meet the criteria, and are within all Wikipedia guidelines.
Finally, I gave up on trying to add information and tried to remove inaccurate information, such as blogs that no longer exist, and haven't for years. Frankly, you should look at the users reverting my changes for violating the guidelines of not making edits to prove a point. The Fashion blog article is inaccurate in many places because several things have changed since the years old information included. Everyone is so paranoid about a fashion blog getting a link from the article that it's making the quality poor. I try to improve the quality, and people who I'm sure have not done anywhere near half the research that I have on the subject attack every change, from every angle, even when there is nothing in the guidelines to support the removal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabyth (talk • contribs) 05:13, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Grange Co-op Wikipedia Entry GRANG1-T300
Grange Co-op Grange Cooperative is an agricultural supply cooperative based in the Rogue Valley of the U.S. state of Oregon. Grange Co-op started in 1934 in Central Point, Oregon, with a group of 99 farmers from the Rogue Valley who invested $10 each to form a fuel-delivering cooperative. They made a $350 down payment on property where the Central Point , Oregon, store is now located, and paid $600 for the first tank of gas. The business was limited to petroleum supplies and the first year's sales were $13,187.
The cooperative now operates seven Oregon retail stores in Medford, Ashland, Central Point, White City, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls with products for the farm, home, garden and pets. Grange Co-op also operates a fertilizer plant and certified organic grain elevator, agronomy center, and two CFN cardlock fueling stations.
Grange Co-op employees 200 staff with a voting membership of approximately 2800, over 11,000 additional dividend patrons, and total annual sales of over $50 million (2009).
As a cooperative, Grange Co-op is owned by its members. Patronage Dividends are profits that are returned back to Grange Co-op members and non-member patron contract holders (Dividend Patrons) in direct proportion to the amount of their Grange Co-op purchases.
History Grange Co-op purchased Ashland Mills in 1943, and in 1960, opened a new retail store in Ashland. The first Grange Co-op in Medford was located on South Pacific Highway as a result of a merger with Jackson County Co-op in the 1960’s. In 1996, Grange Co-op merged with Josephine County Growers Co-op in Grants Pass (started in 1927). In September of 2005, Grange Co-op acquired the American Feed & Farm Supply store in Klamath Falls.

Dear Fastily,
I am currently trying to create a page about the London Iranian Film Festival. I have used neutral, unbiased language in the article but it was still deleted. Firstly it was due to reasons of "notability". I have read the notability FAQ but that didn't really help. Then the page was tagged as unambiguous advertising. Calling it "unambiguous advertising" is puzzling since couldn't one argue that every single page in wikipedia that is about a person, event or corporation could essentially, intentionally or unintentionally, be classed as "unambiguous advertising"? Could you please specify for me clearly how I could create the page so that it could have a stable position in wikipedia?
Thanks for your help and hope to hear from you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon619 (talk • contribs) 10:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I notice you deleted the article InfinityDB as unambiguous advertising. I strongly disagree about this being "unambiguous." The article could have been written in a more encyclopedic manner, but the subject was clearly as notable as the other Java database engine articles such as FluidDB, Perst, Berkeley DB, etc. The software that is the subject of the article is original and patented, and is asserted by several third parties to be higher performing than its competition. All of the other articles I just mentioned are also written with a slightly promotional tone as well, so that was clearly not sufficient reason for deletion. I hope you will allow the recreation of the page so that it can be written more neutrally. --98.248.204.235 (talk) 04:04, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you have deleted the article on Bled eConference. I understand the reason behind it and I had tried to clarify my mistake on the article's Talk Page, however I did not receive any replies on how to correct the mistake before the deletion. I am a newbie on Wiki, although I have opened the first account a year ago. My first username matched the first topic I was working on posting, which I now realize was a wrong choice (I went through a lot of guidelines, but missed the one on usernames). I would like to re-post the article on Bled eConference under my new username as I believe it to be on the same level as other articles on IS related conferences as ICIS, AMCIS and ECIS. Please let me know if this is possible. If you feel there were also other promotional elements in the article (besides the poorly chosen username), please indicate them. I apologize for the trouble.

Hi, I see you make lots of useful contributions, and thanks for them. I just got this image undeleted, and I wanted to pass along the suggestion that if you see 2D images that were obviously published before 1923, or whose creators have clearly been dead for 70+ years, they are public domain, and it's good to be suspicious of any deletion requests.

Hi Fastily. I have dropped a response on the talk page [22]. Thought it might be better to drop a note to you..--Civilizededucationtalk 05:35, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily, I was wondering why you removed ((Di-replaceable fair use)) from the file? What is shown in the image "could be adequately covered with text alone" by saying in the article exactly what is in the FUR description: After Xander stops Willow from destroying the world, he comforts her as the dark magic drains from her. Surely it fails NFCC#1?
Additionally, does it not fail NFCC#8 because "its presence [does not] significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would [not] be detrimental to that understanding." All it says in the article is "Willow tearfully breaks down in Xander's arms as the dark magic drains from her and she returns to her usual red-haired appearance. [... blah blah blah] while Xander continues to comfort Willow." A little further down the article it says, "In the DVD commentary for this episode, director James Contner says that while filming the scenes with Willow and Xander on the cliff, the wind churned up dust, which blew into Alyson Hannigan's eyes. Because of the dust, Hannigan removed her black contacts and her eyes were blackened digitally in post-production." But this image shows none of that. There is no dust blowing, and Hannigan has her eyes closed.
The image does not add anything to the article, so it should be deleted. Matthewedwards : Chat 20:42, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

I have read your warning on the Cash Peters page. I simply made a request - I'm not sure a warning was in order. However, I won't contribute further, which is a shame because what I wrote was good and true and I thought would be useful. I genuinely saw myself as a valuable contributor.
I did have to make one amendment to that page, though, since someone had gone in and added a defamatory paragraph about Cash Peters selling photographs of his honeymoon to Hello Magazine. That needed deleting.

Hi Fastily,
I came across your talk page when I was trying to look up the Aloha Editor, which does not have an entry but a deleted page. To me this seems a bit sad, as I am a university teacher at 4 universities teachting IT-strategy and other similar stuff, and explaining why typo3, drupal, midgard and other os products now build in Aloha replacing the previous editors, and comparable editors like TinyMCE or CK editor do have entries, is difficult. I came accross the editor because the smashingmagazine listed it amongst the top 50 web tools recently.
I cannot see what was (not?) in the Aloha page, but maybe you deleted the page because of missing information or wrong type of text - in this case I would be prepared to help to make it a proper page, no issue. Please check my profile in doubt, I am not writing much, but hopefully rather well ;-).

Thank you for your input, I added the fair-use rationals in the summary I couldn't actually place it within the slot for where the picture appears. Out of curiosity, if they get tagged for deletion is there a way you could possibly save what pictures I've uploaded and submit a newer version since you are more of an expert at this then I am?
Perhaps you will fix this redirect whereby User:Jmlnarik01's page and talk page are redirecting to the Rhino Rack article and its talk page. The article looks distinctly like advertising to me so I have tagged it as such. I could cut and paste the talk page contents back to his talk page and undo the redirect to his userpage but the history would not be preserved. TIA. ww2censor (talk) 02:23, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank you so much for getting me going with that, I went back to all the pictures I uploaded and I added those rationales. I really appreciate your help with that! Now I'll know what to do the next time I upload and have to add a Non-fair use rationale. You've been so great and helpful! Thank you and God bless!
I have not reviewed their unblock request, but have commented upon it. I would like your feedback on the idea of banning Whitmore from interacting with Eaglestorm, as he has been clashing with him since March, over 5 months ago. As their clash included Whitmore committing personal attacks, edit warring on talk pages, countless edit warring on articles in the "Metal Gear" topic, and even sockpuppetry, I think an interaction ban would be beneficial as it would mean less wasted editing and administrative time. Additionally, as they promised in an unblock request back in March; they stated they would avoid the area of conflict (OldID link) and clearly have not done so, thus perhaps formal restrictions would help. Thanks for your time, --Taelus (Talk) 17:56, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily,
I'm wondering why my image was deleted? I uploaded two images to use for the "Mark Pilkington (writer)" article, and each was licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0, as was specified by myself on Wikipedia, as well as the Flickr source page. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12687061@N05/4905635636/) The second image I uploaded to replace the first was a differently cropped version. The file is MarkPilkington.JPG.
Please can you let me know why you deleted it, and if I can re-upload it?
Thanks, Colonelnut (talk) 23:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily, Thanks very much for that helpful explanation. The license of the image has changed on the flickr page to CC Attribution-ShareAlike, and I reuploaded it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mark_Pilkington.jpg#file I'm not sure if this is the correct place to query this, but I linked the article to this new image, and it doesn't seem to be appearing on the article...? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Pilkington_%28writer%29 Thanks in advance for any advice, Colonelnut (talk) 15:45, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear administrator,
I wanted to ask you about the article on Lida Clementisová, which has been deleted by you for the reason that "no other notability asserted other than she was the wife of a prominent politician". This claim is questionable and I would like to give you just few examples of persons like Jackie Kennedy, Betty Ford, Elena Ceausescu, Raisa Gorbachova, Sarah Brown or recently Samantha Cameron which "made it" to wikipedia, even though their biggest merits are to have been/to be wives of powerful/great men.
Mrs. Clementisova was an important and relevant historical figure in Czechoslovakia and also a suggestive generic case for many women - wives of politicians (more or less prominent) or forgotten women artists - living in the course of history. Moreover, Lida Clementisova her story, her letters and her activism meant a lot for local culture and society.
I spent a lot of time researching on the subject, looking through archives, books, documents in order to "restore", reconstruct, find out about her life and activities. The article featured references (most of them from printed books, in Slovak or Czech language). Unfortunately no, or very few and poor, records in English are available on her. That is why the article on Wikipedia has been an attempt to fill this void and to motivate eventual editors, historians and archivists to complete, correct, edit and work on the information/text.
The relevance of a person is subjective. Popularity does not necessarily has to be substantial, it is circumstantial and does not legitimate an encyclopedical entry.
I would like to kindly ask you to reconsider your deletion if possible. Thank you.

thank you, i will "actively" do my best to improve the article.
thanks a lot!

Hi. I edited the "United States Senate Elections in Illinois" page when the Libertarian Candidate, Mike Labno gained ballot access. I put his picture in the "Major Candidate photos section of the page. This edit was undone repeatedly bu another editor based on an apparently unwritten rule that he failed to mention and refused to cite that states that a candidate has to have poll numbers higher than 5% to appear there. I'm not trying to be daft in any way, but the inability to cite an unwritten rule when enforcing it repeatedly over a period of three days seems like wikilawyering.
The fact is that there are four candidates that will appear on the ballot for US senator in Illiois. There are only three listed on the page. You protected a page after what I genuinely belive is an attempt at gaming the system. Not only the wikipedia system, but the American politcal system.
I would appreciate it if you would consider protecting the page in the name of historical accuracy instead of political manipulation.

I see you recently deleted the newspaper article from the Milton Canadian Champion on Jason Chase. The article was written by a friend who works for the local paper and was the one who told me i could add it to my page on wikipedia. I dont see how it is copyright when I have permission to put it up from the author of the story. I would appreaciate it if you revoked the deletion, but if there is nothing you can do it is ok. Seeing as it is a story on Jason Chase i assumed i could put it on his page, him being a part of Maximum Pro Wrestling as one of the wrestlers.

Hi there
I am trying to make my page about FNZ compliant and my understanding was that i had to source some of the information with some reasonable and credible sources of information.
I have now edited my page and would like to put it live on wikipedia, but would like to check that this is now possible.
Please see page below with sources of information, please can you let me know if this is ok?
FNZ Wikipedia Document
Overview –
FNZ specialise in providing (wrap) Platform technology and business services to the financial, distribution and investment sectors across the world; empowering their customers to build and provide bespoke Platform products and services for their clients. (www.fnz.com/aboutus.html)
FNZ powers wealth management Platforms for financial advisers, direct customers and the workplace in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. (http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=47393172)
Their customers leverage core front and back-office services to create their own customised Platform.
History -
FNZ has evolved from a start-up business in 2002, to a global company that administers over £12 billion of assets on behalf of over 300,000 end-customers in the UK, Australia and New Zealand (as at August 2010).
Originally created as a business unit within the New Zealand branch of investment bank Credit Suisse, FNZ managed to secure a number of large institutional providers of investment platforms in New Zealand, and following a management buy-out of the First NZ Capital Group (formerly Credit Suisse), expanded its operations to the UK. (http://www.highnetworth-online.com/news/fullstory.php/aid/253/FNZ_eyes_burgeoning_UK_platform_market.html) The company is majority owned by its employees and is also backed by H.I.G. Capital, a global private equity firm which has over $8.5 billion of capital under management. (http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/business/Software-group-buyout-secures-.4909735.jp) Today, FNZ now employs over 340 technology and investment operations specialists across Europe and Australasia, primarily in Edinburgh, Sydney and Wellington (as at August 2010).

Awards related to FNZ -

(http://ukgroup.standardlife.com/content/news/new_articles/2008/automated_account_swift.xml) • AXA’s Elevate platform, powered by FNZ, received the FTRC ‘eee’ rating in its first year of launch, as well as winning the ‘best newcomer’ award.

What is a (Wrap) Platform?
Wrap is a combination of a web-based technology Platform and an investment service provided to advisers and investors to support a new model for advice and distribution. It delivers the following key elements: • Aggregation of all investments and products (tax wrappers such as pensions) into a single customer view of their portfolio. The single customer view provides real-time consolidated asset allocation, valuation, performance reporting and analysis; • An online financial planning process that includes fact-find, risk questionnaire, lifetime asset / liability modelling, asset allocation and financial plan generation. The ability to provide regular reviews to the investor against this plan so they can track how they are progressing over time towards the achievement of their financial goals; • Single point online access to purchase, sell and rebalance a wide range of investment products. Behind the scenes the platform provider interacts with fund managers, banks, product providers and stockbrokers to trade, settle and administer the assets as custodian (bare trustee); • CRM capability for the financial adviser to manage all of their customers and their portfolios • Business management tools for the financial adviser to manage their business. Wrap Platforms often facilitate a transition from packaged products to open architecture and from bundled to unbundled pricing, both of which are technology intensive and facilitated via wrap platforms.

Hello, I noticed you do some anti-vandalism work around here, so I thought you'd be a good person to ask.
When I'm reverting vandalism, on occasions I come across several vandalistic edits that were made by a single user. Everytime I undo or use popups to revert an edit I see, it doesn't revert all the edits. For example, look at the recent history of Jonas L.A.. IP 24.154.60.137 vandalized the article by deleting its contents, so I reverted it. After that, the IP vandalized it again twice in a row, but my revert only reverted the previous edit and not the other, so I had to manually copy a clean version of the article and paste it in another edit and save it to ensure everything was back to normal. Hope this isn't too confusing.
Basically, I'm asking if there's a way to get around this so I don't have to manually clean up and article as it's time consuming. Thanks.

(talk page stalker) What I do (without resorting to huggle, twinkle or popups) is to go the history, get a diff of all the suspect edits and revert the batch. Usually with an edit summary of "undo" or something to let others know I'm reverting. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 06:20, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi there,
I am not sure why my article was deleted. I have few questions as I am just starting to add/revise content about Jordan.
1- I would like to upload the logo for Union Bank in Jordan. Is there any specific requirement so that I am not in violation of copyright infringement or can I just add the logo taken from the Bank's web site? 2- I am in copyright infringement if I add content about the bank directly from the Bank's web site?

I am a newbie. I have been composing my article for the last several days, and today I saw a notice that my article might be eligible for speedy deletion. When I "returned" (within minutes) from reading the criteria, I could no longer find my article and saw the notice that it has been deleted. How do I find it to request it not be deleted (i.e., "hang on"). My article is modeled after, and similar to, Wikipedia articles for the American Diabetes Association and the American Red Cross (and other similar charities)so I am unclear why my page should be deleted. Please advise. Thanks.

Where do I access the page to revise it? I'll try to revise it. As I mentioned, as it is very similar in content to many other charity organization Wikipedia articles, I will try to see why my article differs in regard to "reading like an advertisement". Articles about charities will inevitably have that flavor. I am also startled that the deletion occurred within minutes of the notice appearing and before I had time to ask "hang on". Again, how do I access it? Thanks.
Malcolm Munro. Malcolm C Munro (talk) 20:17, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Many thanks. I'll try. For the record however, my article is NOT about promoting any "product or service" but is rather about a US-registered charity that supports research into finding a cure for the nasty disease known as fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (see the Wikipedia article on the condition, and it's reference to the charity about which I wrote). My article is in fact highly similar in content to Wiki articles about the American Diabetes Association (my actual model for my article), American Red Cross, and any number of other charities that have Wikipedia pages. I'm genuinely confused as to how this article could in any way be regarded as promoting a product, unless the Latin name for the disease sounded like the latest pharmaceutical product.

Hello
I wrote the article about Nota Bene, which you deleted on August 18 as "unambiguous advertising or promotion".
I wrote it as a user of Nota Bene, but I certainly didn't intend it as advertising or promotion. I am not an employee of Nota Bene, just a long-time user.
I'm aware that Wikipedia articles should not be a form of advertising or promotion. In writing the NB article, I used as models Wikipedia articles on Microsoft Word, Wordstar, and, in particular, Word Perfect. I also used material that I and other members of the Nota Bene users' list have written over the years about using the program; and materials about the history of Nota Bene which I gathered from current users and from archives of the user list dating back to the mid 1980s.
I am very sorry that the article seems to you to read like a promotion. The criterion you used, G11, says that "Pages that are exclusively promotional... would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." I would be very grateful indeed if you could let me know how I could rewrite the article so as not to seem promotional. I'm sure you aren't referring to the historical section. Is it because I sound too enthusiastic about the capacities of the program?
I'm not asking you to do a rewrite! I'm just hoping for a hint about what I've done wrong. I was so sure I had worked within the Wikipedia standards; and even now, comparing the NB article with the Word Perfect article, I'm a bit perplexed about why the former has to go, while the latter is OK.
I do think that Wikipedia should have a Nota Bene article in some form, alongside its other word processor articles, especially since NB is one of the very few non-Microsoft word processors left.
Hoping to hear from you,
Best wishes

Hi,
This logo is owned by CBS inc. I have been given permission from our local management to update our logo on Wikipedia. Can you please help me upload this image, give it the proper license and post it on the WWJ-TV article? Is it that I need to include the tag? I'm pretty sure I didn't include that. ((Non-free logo))
Thank you!

Hi there Fastily, just writing about your recent deletion of the above image. Although there was a ((Di-no permission)) tag on the file, I had tagged it with ((OTRS pending)) as I had forwarded an email from Click Records (the copyright holder) to OTRS as requested. I did not understand at the time that I could have removed the ((Di-no permission)) tag and just left the ((OTRS pending)) tag on there while waiting for OTRS to confirm receipt of the email. So could you please un-delete the image and leave the ((OTRS pending)) tag on there until OTRS confirm they have seen the forwarded email that was requested? Sorry for the mistake. Cheers IainUK talk 21:20, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for your deletion of the page. The entry is encyclopedic and of interest to academia and the general reading public. I have deleted advance reviews and certain descriptive content as they may arguably be considered "advertising," but there is indeed encyclopedic signifiance to the entry and the references and sources are obviously valid and reputable. Please reconsider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kellyvalen (talk • contribs) 04:11, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey there, Just curious - I had tagged the image for deletion that was supposed to go forward today (Yesterday). You removed my tag saying the image passed all criteria and than you re-tagged it for failing the criteria. This move has me somewhat confused plus, aside from that, it appears that upholder has just been blocked from editing so chances are they are not going to provide any sort of new rational. As far as your removal of my tag saying it met the criteria and it was not replaceable - the reason(s) I tagged the image is 1: The uploader stated right in the FUR that Replaceable? : Yes, if there are more free images of Selena and 2: the same user has uploaded images under a free license that he claims his grandmother and mother have taken - if the OTRS's were indeed submitted and can be confirmed that would, indeed, make the non-free image replaceable. So is there really any need to *not* delete that image today (Now yesterday - August 21) as opposed to your re-tagging it for deletion? Soundvisions1 (talk) 04:29, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
← I know that NFCC 1 is the most often used criteria but I believe what I am thinking of was something to do with NFCC 9 - Restrictions on location, but I can't seem to find it now. I found a discussion from 2008: Non free images in Infoboxes - ironically about the same article, not sure if it/was the same photo. Also from 2008: Interesting image debate on Freddie Mercury site!. Either way though, unless the OTRS does show up on the deleted images we don't have any free images. Soundvisions1 (talk) 19:56, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

When I edited Wikipedia yesterday at this IP, I didn’t use an account. Yesterday, I edited Soldier (1998 hindi film) & Blind Side (2009 film). Was that vandalism? On the talk page, there was a message about vandalism. If you’re saying that I vandalized Soldier & Blind Side, then how did I? I saw the hindi movie Soldier before. Vijay fought Virender, Pratap, & Virender’s brother. Vijay didn’t fight Jaswant. Vijay got killed by DK, who was actually Jaswant. Nobody knew that DK’s secret Identity is Jaswant. I saw The Blind Side before. At the beginning of the movie, Michael & a lady were talking to each other. Next, it goes to a flashback. In Wikipedia, isn’t the Blind Side plot summary supposed to be same as the movie? (198.189.228.4 (talk) 19:57, 24 August 2010 (UTC)).

It sounds fine -- but I would still be very, very glad if you'd give me an example of what made it unacceptable. I've compared it again with the Word Perfect article, and the two still seem to me to be very similar in tone and content. It's hard to know what to edit, without at least a hint!

I'm trying to understand why File:Brodeurbook.jpg was deleted while File:Bleedingpinstripes.jpg was not. The articles that they appear in give a nearly identical level of treatment to the books they're covering (not super in depth critical commentary, but commentary nonetheless). I expected these to go together (either both keep, or both delete). The fact that they went differently surprises me. If anything, I would have expected the reverse since File:Brodeurbook.jpg was used in a featured article while File:Bleedingpinstripes.jpg was not. I'm new this files for deletion process, and frankly can't believe how it can supercede successful FA image reviews (where WP:FAR would be the appropriate place to bring issues up). I'm crossposting this comment on User talk:Explicit so we can all compare notes. --SkotyWATC 06:08, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I like to add this brand, because I use their tools. I am not Narex owner, employee, dealer, seller or something like this. Just user.
I am really upset with such censuring manner. Okay, you sign this article as advertise, but you complete delete this immediately. I am not going to make effort in case that someone simply delete it without real reason. This is waste work.

At least have the courtesy to let the person know, or remove the code from the article.

Hi, I tagged an image for CSD i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Indore_Software_Co..jpg, but you declined stating it "not patent nonsense". The image being stated as building for a software company in Indore, is mistakenly uploaded, I am aware of all localities in Indore. There is no such building in Indore, which belongs to software company. The user has simply uploaded an image of building & represented it as popular building. Though image is free in nature & can be kept, but it should be avoided using in any article with False claims of "software companies in Indore". What can be done on this? Please suggest.

Regarding [42], can you help me understand how you concluded that the result of the discussion was to delete the image? There were two people in favor of keeping the image in at least one of the two articles it was included in. Both articles it was included in had been through FA review within the past year (and the image survived in both cases). The image was of a historic event. Unfortunately, the deletion discussion was long and strayed quite a bit on a number of irrelevant topics such as whether it was "iconic" or not, it turns out that iconicness (if that's a word) is not a requirement for non-free content. I thought I made a pretty clear case about how this photo improves the reader's understanding of this article. How was it concluded that the result of the discussion was delete? Please tell me that more was done that simply counting votes on this. --SkotyWATC 00:33, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello again - just a question on this image now. The image was tagged for deletion in 2006 when it was upped suggesting a Fair use tag be place on it so it was by the uploader, however it also conflicted with the the CCL and it appears it never had any FUR placed on it (nor was one requested since 2006). As it was licensed as non-commercial my ((db-noncom)) was correct.(Media licensed as "for non-commercial use only" (including non-commercial Creative Commons licenses), "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only" or "used with permission" may be deleted, unless they comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content.) But to be sure the admin who came to that page understood, you may not have read it, I added a note that stated: NOTE: The image is under a NCL and it can not be used here even if a FUR is added as the subject is still alive and a free image can be obtained. - this went along *with* the ((db-noncom)) tag you removed that ended with unless they comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. So my question is why bother to re-tag with a ((di-no fair use rationale)) when it already fails criteria 1? Soundvisions1 (talk) 02:44, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fastily,
I see that you deleted the Nomacorc, LLC page immediately after I added two facts with direct references to The Wall Street Journal. You cited that the page was "advertising" or "promotion." Can I ask how two facts that have been added straight from the Wall Street Journal flagged the entire article for deletion?

I recently add an article about Intlock Ltd. I'm writing to ask why this article was deleted. There are many articles about companies, organizations, and businesses. I have added references of sites from which the information was used.

Hello, I made a Page about Plug Studios that you just Deleted, I didt get time to say why it should not be deleted, I cant get it back anymore to say why, but I cant make it again as it took 1 day and a half, I would just like to say please give a bit more time for me to add the hangon tag. :(
I cant tell you why I think it shouldt be deleted but I spent a long time making that and not even 8 mins to add the hangon tag.
Next time give more time as i spent a long long time to make a page without 8mins to add the tag, so i spent over a day making a page with no time to add the Hangon tag.

Thanks for letting me know, however I didn't create the page, I simply added two edits to it. Is there a way to reinstate the page without my edits?
Please advise. Capagody (talk) 02:01, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Capagody
Thanks, Fastily. I would greatly appreciate it if you would restore the page without my edits. Once it is reinstated, do you suggest that I edit some of the content of the original page to make it less promotional in nature? Thanks againCapagody (talk) 22:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)Capagody
Fastily, will you restore the original article without my edits as you mentioned above? Thanks, Capagody (talk) 21:10, 9 September 2010 (UTC)Capagody
Hi Fastily. Thanks for responding so fast. I'm not so sure that I used the wrong tag for File:StrangeTales-127.jpg. True, it's an orphan now, but that's only because I removed it from the article where it was being used. I just finished writing my rationale for its deletion on the image talk page, but it basically comes down to it not being the actual cover of the issue that it claims to be. Rather it's a derivative work created by a hobbyist. So, the fair use rationale, which was written as though it were any other comic book cover and thus most likely fair use, doesn't really apply here. I couldn't find a speedy deletion tag that neatly matched this situation, however. Db-f7 seemed closest. It will probably get deleted either way, but it would hardly be fair of me to orphan the image and then declare it an orphan. ;-) Cheers, GentlemanGhost (talk) 02:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily, can you take a look at the deleted history of The Brides of Sodom (film)? Just before you deleted it, the editor rewrote the plot to eliminate some/all of the copyvio material.

Hi Fastily,
Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could move back wireless expense management after some edits.
This is a unique process and segment of industry, very different from the broad term "telecom expense management". Unlike telecom expense management, wireless expense management is directly associated with data, global usage, etc. This means that completely different processes and technology are used to provide different insight into wireless billings with numerous carriers, rate plans, and roaming issues.
I can remove the name of the company and the link (even if the U.S. patent office agrees that they invented the process) if you'd like, but the patent is 100% objective, legitimate, and relevant. If you read the abstract of patent at the US Patent and Trademark's website, you can see what I mean.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope we can come to a mutual agreement on this matter.

Dear Fastily,
I work with Dr. David F. Gordon, Head of Research at Eurasia Group, and I'm writing to respectfully ask why his page was deleted from Wikipedia? David held very senior positions in the US government prior to coming to Eurasia Group, including Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Deputy Chairman of the National Intelligence Council. During his government career, he was central to many foreign policy decisions, and led strategic policy dialogues with over 20 countries. In addition, Dr. Gordon is a published author, and frequently appears in the broadcast and print media commentating on international political issues. Some recent examples:
http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2009/08/podcast_can_china_save_america.html http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232/?video=1484213845&play=1 http://content.usatoday.com/topics/article/People/Politicians,+Government+Officials,+Strategists/World+Leaders/Hu+Jintao/03KO0BAcQy9dR/1
I do not understand what was offensive or insignificant about his page that would require active deletion.

Hey Fastily!
I notice that you rejected a call to block IP 216.79.193.55 at WP:AIV.
I was about to post that there wasn't sufficient recent activity to warrant a block before you replied refusing it anyway. But could I ask you to look at the IP talk page? It's just very strange, they've been given 4 warnings all today but I can only see the IP editing once today? One of the articles he was supposedly warned about was History of classical music traditions and that hasn't been edited since 24 August according to it's history!
The warnings from the editor reporting it to WP:AIV all happened within about a minute of each other. I'm just wondering if the IP is being warned for edits that happened weeks or months ago? If they are it seems a little harsh given that their contributions before today were in May (I think). Just thought I'd mention it for it to be looked into as the IP is now on it's final warning when that may be incorrect --5 albert square (talk) 23:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your contribution at File:GraceHopper.jpg - since you work more in this area, could you clarify something for me? I added the CSD (F7) tag on the grounds that the tag was "obviously" incorrect, in the sense that it was absurd to claim that no free use image could now be used due to the subject's death, given that the subject's article already contained a free use image. But re-reading F7 I'm not sure whether it was that "obviously" incorrect (WP:CSD seems to suggest that it would work for a tag of the wrong type e.g. "fair use logo" used for a mascot; here the tag used was of the correct kind for the type of photo but its justification was flawed) so you were correct to change it.
You replaced it with {tl|di-replaceable fair use disputed)) which I considered doing; I thought it better not to, since that tag is for cases where the photo "illustrates a subject for which a free image might reasonably be found" - and in this case a free image already has been found. I've always thought of the "replaceable fair use" image as the "don't be lazy, find or make a free one yourself" tag. Is there a designated tag for "this fair use image has already been replaced by a free use image", or is "replaceable fair use" deemed to include that case? It looks a wee bit odd for the tag to suggest that, hypothetically, a free use image could be found, when one already has! But I can't think of a better tag at the moment.

Greetings Fastily. I noticed that you recently deleted a number of redirects including a few that I happened to encounter while entering common phrases in search of port number related articles. I see that these redirects used to point to Port number (Internet socket) that you had recently renamed to simply Port number. I believe that many of the redirects are useful common phrases and it would be beneficial to restore them and update their target.

You deleted the Epiphan Systems article due to lack of notability, and cited that Ottawa Business Journal reference was 404'd.

Dear Fastily,
Following my contribution yesterday, I have just seen that you deleted the Bedat & Co text. To prepare this text, I have taken as an example the description of other brands like Piaget, Baume et Mercier, Chopard... to respect the rules of Wikipedia. I have worked a lot to write the most factual text I can after Eeekster's message.
As you have deleted my text could you be so kind to help me on this matter? Could you please explain to me what's wrong and how I can change the text to be in accordance with the Wikipedia concept? I have put this text here under for your information.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards, Sophie CF Link: Bedat & Co
Bedat & Co – Wikipedia text
Bedat & Co is a Swiss watch brand specialized in feminine luxury timepieces. The company was created in 1996 by Simone Bédat and her son Christian Bédat.
History After more than 50 years of experience in the watch industry, Simone Bédat created her own brand with her son in 1996. They have collaborated with the Swiss Italian designer Dino Modolo for the creation of their first collection of classic timepieces. It was presented in 1997 during Baselworld. In parallel, they have developed the AOSC concept (“Appelation d’Origine Suisse Certifiée”) guarantying the Swiss origin of the parts and the production. In 2000, Gucci Group acquired 85% of Bedat & Co with Simone Bédat serving as the chairwoman while her son Christian remaining as chief executive officer and a shareholder. Some new collections were launched in 2003, 2004 and 2008. In 2006, Simone and Christian Bédat departed from the company making the Gucci Group the sole owner of Bedat & Co. Following their departure, the Bedat & Co’s company worked with new designers. In 2008, the Swiss watch brand launched its very first stand alone boutique in Kuala Lumpur, the opening of which was officiated by the Queen of Malaysia, Seri Paduka Baginda Permaisuri Agong Tanhu Nu Zahirah. In 2009, Malaysia based company, Luxury Concepts watches and jewellery announced their acquisition of Bedat & Co. In spite of this, the brand remains a 100% Swiss company with global distribution. In 2010, Bedat & Co returned to the roots and worked again with the designer Dino Modolo for the last collection.
Collections Bedat & Co comprises 5 collections. Each one wears a number: 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8. These numbers are easy to memorize and to pronounce all around the world. Each number corresponds to a form of shape: - No1: Square-shaped cases curved at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock - No2: Oval-shaped cases - No3: “Tonneau”-shaped cases - No7: Rectangular-shaped cases curved at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock - No8: “Round in a cushion” shaped cases
The core value of Bedat & Co is the design of classic feminine models, mainly in stainless steel and often set with diamonds. They are inspired by Art Deco spirit & lines.
Bedat & Co worldwide
Bedat & Co watches are sold on four continents:
- Americas: USA, Canada, Central and South America
- Europe
- Africa: South and Western Africa
- Asia: China, Japan, Malaysia, Hong Kong…

Dear Fastily,
Thanks for your explanation. I have made the recommended changes and put the new text on line. Just one thing that I don't understand: could you explain to me why the other brands have sections as: collections, watches, events.... I can give you a lot of examples? The content depends on the brand?
Thank you in advance for your response.

I had previously published an article with this title about a month ago. I am new to Wikipedia and just trying to get this article published. I understand that it was deleted for unambiguous advertising. That wasn't my intention. I have redone the article and would like to get your opinion. Would that be possible? My goal is to just have an entry for Harveys in Wikipedia that gives essentially the definition, the history, and the features of the product (And I am not connected to the company in any way). Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi! I received notification this file was going to be deleted because of a concern about evidence of permission. Per Wikipedia guidelines I downloaded the appropriate form letter and gave it to the copyright owner (who is my Dad). He agreed with the license. He doesn't have email so I sent an email with the form agreeing to Wikipedia terms with his address and phone contact info to 'permissions-en@wikimedia.org' on August 14 at 12:40 PDT. There was no acknowledgement of the email or a tag generated. Did I miss something in the process to prevent this photo from being deleted? Thanks.Lulayellowlab (talk) 04:11, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I did not "draw" it or even create it! I retreived part of the image (that part being the Mustang) froma source deeming it legally in public domain. if you would like, I can list the source.

FYI, I'm undoing the speedy and reopening this discussion because the category 1) had an ongoing AfD discussion here--the ((db-repost)) template is so big that I presume you didn't even see it, and 2) the category had survived an AfD discussion previsouly, here, so it is technically not even eligible for speedy deletion except in case of copyright.

I did not write this article!!! It is not advertising. The wiki article for the church of elvis was created many years ago with lots and lots of inaccuracy. Every now and then i made corrections and was encouraged to do so by the administrator. My last revision merely put the same facts up without error. I did add about weddings and comitment ceremonies, if you want to take that out that's fine, but everything else was just correcting the history of my artwork.

Fastily, I noticed you deleted the page on Linda Welby (aka The Galway Fiddler), reason: "non-notable musician". What do you classify as a "notable musician"? Linda Welby deserves a Wiki page (more so than many other musicians). Ms. Welby is a best selling musician and well-known and loved singer/songwriter in Ireland and around the world, with many hit songs released and albums sold worldwide, she hosts her own weekly radio program from Nashville, TN, USA on Nashville Broadcasting Radio Network FM (Irish Cream of Country), and she practices philanthropy in the music business by performing and donating proceeds for charity organizations around the world, as well. In addition to all the above, Linda Welby is in the top of several recognized music charts, she has won many prestigious music awards in the United Kingdom and the United States, and Linda performs live concerts and other venues in Ireland and around the world, including her most recent North American tour and her upcoming Canadian tour beginning Monday, September 6, 2010. I didn't create the deleted page, I am just curious as to what exactly your definition of "notable musician" is. I am also one of many fans of Linda Welby and I am interested in seeing her Wikipedia page recreated or restored. Please advise. Thank you.

Was this discussion anywhere near no consensus? Right in my nomination statement, I pointed to the textbook violation the book cover was. As it reads at WP:NFC#UUI: A magazine or book cover, to illustrate the article on the person whose photograph is on the cover. However, if the cover itself is the subject of sourced discussion in the article, it may be appropriate if placed inline next to the commentary. The cover wasn't being critically discussed as necessary and the keep !vote didn't address that issue at all. This seemed like a pretty straight forward delete. — ξxplicit 00:51, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Fastily. You recently deleted File:Watkins Tower.jpg under WP:CSD#F4 (no licence info). I'm not entirely sure why this qualified, as the image was tagged as PD in June 2010. I don't deal with images that much on Wikipedia or Commons, so I'm well aware I may have missed something, but I'm confused as to why a file tagged as PD was speedily deleted rather than nominated through WP:FFD.

Hi Fastily, normally I would forward this request to my mentor, but he is on extended medical leave from Wikipedia. In working in RecentChanges and elsewhere, I've noted both your levelheadedness and willingness to explain rationale and Wikipedia policies in the past. Thus, I was hoping you would be willing to provide me some insight into both my interpretation of an ongoing situation as well as the situation as a whole, for me.
I would prefer not to discuss the incident/situation at this point and simply point you to the parts in contention, so you can form your own judgment unbiased by what I write here. I am concerned about my involvement in the discussion (properly portraying the policies here, and my tone (hoping it does not seem derogatory in an effort to ensure clarity)), as well as the situation as a whole and possible sockpuppetry noted by another editor.
The relevant pages are:

Look, I understand that the 'pedia is fraught with abuse, spam and self-promotion.
I think you were wrong to delete the entry on the Grog Shop, which is, in fact, a legitimate and notable institution; one that, for the record, I have no personal stake in other than my desire to see it, and my home city of Cleveland succeed. In my mind, the deletion of this page is yet another insult to Clevelanders, a people who have suffered a great deal as of late. A wiki entry for The Grog Shop is no different than having one for CBGBs or any other famous venue.
Please reconsider, and perhaps re-instate the page so that others in addition to myself and vestax05 can have a chance to weigh in on the matter and add content to the page.

On Wikipedia, we have a policy in which advertising/spam is subject to on-sight deletion under speedy deletion criterion G11. Of course, you are certainly welcome to resubmit your article, but please ensure that the revised text is compliant with the policies and guidelines described at WP:ADS, WP:MOS, WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:POV, and WP:GNG; otherwise, you run the risk of having the article deleted again.

That's all well and good, but it would be nice if you would at least re-post the mark up to the sandbox and allow us to tweak the page.

The only changes that were made to the Avail-TVN page were updating the company name and logo. There wasn't anything written that was different than what had been online for some time.
Can you please bring the page back to allow me to make edits?

Fastily,
You recently deleted the wikipedia article for Author Tosca Lee.
I am curious why this page was deleted. The Tosca Lee article is linked to several other articles on Wikipedia and is just a quick introduction to this well-known author.
Can you please verify why this was deleted and provide feedback on how this article can be revised to pass the appropriate requirements?

Hi,
Nrusinghnath is a place of religious tourist importance to entire Western Orissa and nearby state of Chhattisgarh. I am a native of this place, hence I know about this place.

I am requesting an explanation of your deletion of the file St. Pius X school crest.jpg. 1. As explained in the deletion debate, the file was legally acquired under Irish law. 2. Your deletion note said, "The result of the debate was delete", however, the only one who voted for delete was the original proposer. The others who took part in the debate voted for keep, so I do not understand how "the result of the debate" was delete. I am planning to appeal this decision on these grounds but I thought I would see if perhaps a misunderstanding had occurred, first. Thank you. --O'Dea (talk) 19:09, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you deleted File:Carl freer.jpg for a lack of licensing information. If I remember correctly, the uploader, User:Truthmaker1, had claimed that the copyright belonged to Carl Freer. A virtually identical image has now been uploaded by the same user as File:Carl freer 1.jpg. This time the uploader claims to hold the copyright and releases the image under a Creative Commons license. To make matters more interesting, the image has been added to the article by an IP editor who also claims to hold the copyright. I have no idea whether the IP editor, User:Truthmaker1 and Carl Freer are one, two or three persons. I've asked Truthmaker1 for clarification, but he has not yet responded. Should anything be done, and if so, what? Yours, Huon (talk) 17:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, didn't you see the hang on that I added to the Travis Bean page? Can you explain why you felt the need to delete the page so quickly without any kind of chance for discussion into why it should even be deleted? hellboy (talk) 22:57, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
hellboy wrote above 'I'd rather see it restored and then edited rather than put in my userpage'. I've written above that I think it should be restored and taken to AfD. I can elaborate on why this is preferable if necessary, but in short, it will be simpler to keep the history and talk page, which go back several years, with a restore, and the call as to whether the entire article was 'Unambiguous advertising or promotion' is questionable. If you are seeing this differently, I'd like to hear your perspective. Dialectric (talk) 07:30, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
This user you blocked, who has endless blocks and unblock appeals on the talk page, has used the "my brother/cousin did it" excuse numerous times and has been told numerous times to register an account to avoid that problem. I'd like to keep that option open for this editor, but your block also appears to disable account creation from that IP address (if that's what "account creation blocked" means). I would not presume to modify the block you imposed, so I ask that you consider modifying your block to enable registering an account. ~Amatulić (talk) 05:14, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Hello,
I noticed that the section of Original Travis Bean Guitars has been removed. Could you let me know for what reason this is. Travis Bean is a well respected luthier who build great guitars around 1975. Lots of great Mucisians have played Travis Bean guitars an/or still do. The person who claimed the Name Travis Bean and builds guitars under this name produces inferior instruments and is in no way related to the History of Travis Bean and his Guitars. In other words the German person is blatantly copying Travis and his reputation/history/product also he is doing what is called dilution, where as to cause confusion of existing product or service.
I kindly want to ask you to take this in consideration and let me know what you think.

I'm sort of confused about this. After being asked to apply a FUR, I did so and from their edits to the page, it seemed they accepted it as a legitimate addition. However, Elen of the Roads later added a speedy tag which you declined. Can I ask whether the article indeed satisfies the NFCC and if it doesn't what needs to be done? Christopher Connor (talk) 00:19, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) With all due respect to Fastily, this image is from a press agency thusly is not allowed via Fair Use. There have been may discussions about images from press agency's and stock photo agency's. Elen is very correct, the guideline is based on policy. The template you removed form the image even states Use of historic images from press agencies must only be used in a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy). Jimbo himself had the "final word" is deleting the press agency image File:Il-76 shootdown.jpg as a copyvio, despite having a FUR. You can read the deletion discussion as well: Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2007 March 28#Image:Il-76 shootdown.jpg. This image fails per policy *and* guidelines.

I'm new here, I literally signed up minutes ago.
I'm an advanced reader for an author (Robert W. Walker) who is a professor at my college, West Virginia State University (although he's not teaching any of the classes I'm taking) and whose page you deleted last night.
I'm led to understand from what wikipedia says, his biographical page was deleted because it was "Unambiguous advertising and promotion."
What I would like to do is somehow directly or indirectly facilitate the construction of a "Biography of a living person" page for the man that meets the standards that Wikipedia has set. What I'd like to see as an end result is a page that has some biographical information about his place of birth, places he's lived, his education, personal life, list of pen names, list of works referenced with ISBNs, dates of publication, relevant formats such as hardback, mass market paperback, or ebook, and to appropriately cross-link to notable places (examples include Chicago and Belfast), things (RMS Titanic), and events (The World's Fair).
Wikipedia said I needed to contact you in order to make this happen, as the content would include information from a page you are responsible for deleting.
Also, as an admin, you'll probably be able to help me make sure that the information I gather for this purpose is of a high enough caliber, and appropriately verifiable.

I didn't even get all of the content up there. I would appreciate an explanation. Mkadrie (talk) 00:25, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I first had the account kadrie69 (but that was personal). So I created a new account zoetifex. Then it wouldn't Wikipedia said I could not post the content under that user name because it was advertising myself. So I tried it under my kadrie69 account and then they said that I had used copyrighted material from LinkedIn. It's my content. I wrote it so why shouldn't I be able to use it? I tried again but when I needed to upload a logo for the page, Wikicommons would not let me log in as kadrie69 for some strange reason, so I had to create a new account there which was MKadrie. So that is the account I used to finish creating the page. I see other studios out here giving information about themselves and all I wanted to do was do the same thing. I don't see it as advertising, I see it as information. And as I had stated, if they can do it and it's not considered advertising, then why can't I?

Lots of those things you're deleting have inbound links from other pages (for example, Wikipedia:MeSH D08 points to many of the redirects to Category:EC 1.4).

Hi Fastily
You just deleted my page about The What on Earth? Wallbook - the thing is this really is a new, innovative publishing concept, with a new word and it's notable for being the first attempt to illustrate all history graphically from the beginning of time to the present day . Iabsolutely want to reflect Wikipedia guidelines, and would very much appreciate you help in trying to get the piece into shape without it being deleted.
Here's a rough copy as it was - any advice you can give would be hugely appreciated.
Very many thanks!
-chris lloyd
Proposed addition
The What on Earth? Wallbook claims to be the first ever attempt to illustrate the entire history of everything from the beginning of time to the present day on a single timeline. It also includes a 7,000-word narrative guide.
The A3-sized, hard-backed publication is concertina folded so it can be read like a book or hung on a wall. When fully unfolded it extends to a length of 2.3 metres. Along the timeline its creator has tried to include every major event in natural or human history on the 2.3 metre-long, A3-sized timeline – that’s well over 1,000 pictures and captions.[3]
The Wallbook is notable for its use of a logarithmic timescale. At the beginning of the timeline 1cm represetns the passage of 1 billion years but by the end of the timeline the same space accounts for just 5 years. A total of 12 changes of scale accounts for how the whole of the past can be graphcially represented on a single piece of paper.
The 1,000 pictures and captions are arranged into twelve streams of colour which provide the backdrops along which the major events of natural and human history unfold. Space, Earth, Sky, Sea, Land and Humanity account for the story of evolution while Asia, the Middle East, Europe, the Americas, Africa and Australasia convey the rise and fall of human civilisations.
At the top of the timeline is a series of globes. To begin with these track the movement of the world’s continental plates which collide into a single supercontinent, and then prise apart again, a geological cycle that repeats over millions of years. By the end the globes chart the rise and fall of major human empires.
The What on Earth? Wallbook is the brainchild of Christopher Lloyd, author of two world history books, both published by Bloomsbury PLC, entitled What on Earth Happened? The Complete Story of Planet, Life and People from the Big Bang to the Present Day (ISBN 978-0747594598) and What on Earth Evolved? 100 Species that Changed the World (ISBN 978-0747599623). The idea of how it might be possible to illustrate a complete overview of all history came to him in on a skiing holiday in the Bernese Oberland in early 2010.[4]
To turn his original sketches into reality, Lloyd turned to Beckenham-based artist Andy Forshaw and book designer William Webb. Together with two Bloomsbury editors, they founded a new publishing company called What on Earth Publishing Ltd to publish the innovative wallbook.
The What on Earth? Wallbook was launched exclusively through The Daily Telegraph newspaper on Saturday 4th September.[5] The paper sold more than 600 copies in the first week.

Hi Fastily. Recently I have uploaded the file:Arpad album cover photo session.jpg however I did not indicate the copyright and it got deleted from the relevant page. I can confirm that the above jpg file has been created by me therefore it can go into the public domain. Could you let me know how to do that and also what do I need to do in order to get the jpg file back on the artists profile???

Hello,
Wondering as to why Consona Corporation article was deleted. As one of the contributors of to the article, i tried to make it not an advertisement, but give accurate and factual representation of the history and offerings of the company. It is very common for companies to have wiki pages. Please let me know what i can do to contribute better content for you to consider not deleting Consona.
Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitch Briggs561 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
There was an article Armenians in South Korea that was deleted with following motivation: "A group of 40-50 people in a nation of 50 million simply do not represent anything like enough proportion of the population to warrant an article".
Please look at the list of items below about the article, representing disagreement of the above point of view:
1. The article "Armenians in South Korea" does not represent Armenians as a nation living in South Korea in comparison to other nations living in South Korea.
It represents Armenians that are living in South Korea related to Armenians all over the world.
2. There are many similar articles on Wikipedia which have more disproportion than "Armenians in South Korea".
For example "Armenians in Bangladesh" 50 Armenians and 160 million people in Bangladesh, "Armenians in Indonesia" 10 Armenians vs 229 million population in Indonesia and so on...
Could you please answer to above items or reconsider your decision about deleting the article?
Thank You. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.10.216.180 (talk) 16:40, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily! Hope you don't mind me asking you a question. I noticed that Matt Berninger redirects to The National and I'm not sure why that is. Other members of The National have their own wiki pages (the brothers have several, in fact!) and I was interested in starting Matt's but not sure if there's a specific reason as to why it was redirected? I checked the history and talk page but didn't see any issues explaining why and was wondering if it would be OK to move the page back? Of course, if you'd rather wait until I actually write the article and it is approved, that will be fine as well. Merci beaucoup! ~dee 19:18, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I can not figure out which tag to use. the images is of ron hamad from his info page on his website. I have permission from him to use it and load it into the wiki page I am working on. It is a publicity shot. Just can not grasp the correct tag.
the tag page is not clear to, how should I put in a tag? ((Non-free promotional|1=http://www.urlofterms.com%7Cimage_has_rationale=yes%7Cimage_is_of_living_person=no)) is this a tag?

Hi Fastily,
I was just looking back at the 8coupons Wiki, which I wrote almost a year ago and saw the speedy deletion revert followed by the advert tag. Wondering where people felt the article needed improvement, since all this was done without any conversation on the discussion board.
Considering the time I spent writing the article (even if it was a long time ago) I'd be happy to incorporate whatever changes people feel are needed.

I would like to appeal against the deletion of the Van Mildert Boat Club wikipedia article. I believe it to be both factual and informative. Could you please restore the page and highlight the particular areas that you thought were not well referenced so that I can make adjustments accordingly.

Why was this page Cyberoam Security certifications speedily deleted when I added hang on tag and wanted to contest this deletion. I also added a note on talk page sufficiently explaining my position that other articles similar to this one already exist in wikipedia. I wasn't given sufficient chance to rework or edit the article if at all any doubts were being raised. The article on Cyberoam Security certifications deserves inclusion in Wikipedia based on the grounds that there are articles by rival products that have a place too.

I believe your deletion of the U.S.S. Mississippi photograph may be an error. The source of this picture was a U.S. Naval Historical Center photograph NH 86646, (http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/sh-usn/usnsh-m/bb41.htm) which should be allowable under Wikipedia guidelines.

Hi Fastily,
Let me start by apologizing, am quite new to wikipedia, so don't know all the proper channels. Recently I found out that the wikipedia article for my band "the dreamscapes project" was deleted due to your recommendation.
Even though you are no longer active, I wanted to touch base with you before initiating a deletion review, per the instructions on the site.
I believe that with a little research you will find that "the dreamscapes project" meets the first criteria for being a notable band. We have had articles written about us in the Washington Post (also picked as a top band in their reader choice awards), Northern Virginia Magazine (just picked as Northern Virginia's best musicians), and CWG Magazine (2nd in popularity only to Pitchfork) to name a few.
I will be happy to supply you with over 40 articles written by various publications and blogs if it will convince you that our article is both legitimate and notable.

Well, even if you are "retired" i can not say anything but this: Why did you delete the article "The Norwegian School in London". It is a school for young pupils who enjoyed the article, and the text was agreed upon with the school management and the copyright was agreed, also. What you did was not very vice or nice, and when I read your reason for leaving Wikipedia, I understand that you have tried to do to much of the work you shouldn't have done. My conclusion is that you may not "like" private schools. Maybe all your so called "contributions" should be revised an checked regarding quality.

Thanks for uploading File:KingDedede200px.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 03:39, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
Dear Fastily,
On September 14, 2010 at you deleted a page, titled Belen Echandia, that I created citing that it was ‘Unambiguous advertising or promotion’. This was not my intent. I am relatively new to contributing to Wikipedia and would appreciate your guidance on this issue...
I presented a concise, factual, and fully cited article about this young, quickly growing, global company. Although my intention was to publish a neutral point of view, but found this quite difficult to do as the company is luxury good / fashion based. From the short article that you deleted (5 sentences total), was there one particular line that motivated the deletion? If so, can you please reinstate the article and allow me to make the appropriate changes and bring the page up to Wikipedia’s standards.

Seriously though, I think you should change that to the ((semiretired)) tag. I say this for two reasons. First of all, you're a great user, and I think you are an asset to the project. Second, the PhD process is long, hard, and sanity draining. You're going to want a comfort to fall back on, something to keep you grounded to reality. Wikipedia is a much healthier option than doughnuts, and is much more adaptable to your soon to be eclectic schedule than say, a puppy. You don't have to take up the mop again, in fact with the stress of the PhD, you might not want to, but don't abandon Wikipedia entirely.

If you look carefully, you'll notice that the deletion tag was F1 — it was totally unrelated to copyright.

We have lots of stuff to work on, from minor and major page building, to WikiProject outreach, article improvement, donor relations, and more—in fact, part of our mission is to empower team members to make their own projects to support our mission. Some of our projects only take a few minutes to work on, while others can be large, multi-person tasks—whatever your interest level, we're glad to have you.
If this sounds interesting, please visit WP:CONTRIB and sign onto the team. Even if there does not appear to be anything that really speaks out as being work you'd like to do, I'd encourage you to join and follow the project anyway, as the type of work we'll be doing will certainly evolve and change over time.

Hello,
Sometime ago you removed a photo that I had uploaded that my grandfather took of Herman, Arkansas which was named after him because you questioned the rights, which is fine. My grandfather took it and as his grandson I was releasing it. However, now a painting that I pruchased is pictured here [60] it is of a painting by Pietro Pezzati and is still under copyright by the artist or his family. The photo, it seems was taken off a website where the painting had been listed for auction.

Dear Fastily, You deleted a photo for my page, Ayurveda.
Author/photographer: Heather Ainsworth
I have been authorized with full permission to use this photo as long as credit is given to the photographer -- which it was and will be. The authorization to use freely was given from Heather Ainsworth to Tom Burchinal, Ayurveda band member via e-mail dtd Jul 14 2010. Tom then forwarded the photo to me (via e-mail dtd Jul 28, 2010) to add to Ayurveda's Wikipage that I am working on. Since having my first attempt to use the photo was deleted, I have been in contact with photographer, Heather Ainsworth, again to see if she used Wikipedia and would load it herself. She does not use Wikipedia and has no intention of doing so. Again, she granted full permission for the photo to be used as the band (Ayurveda) sees fit and specifically on their Wikipedia page. I again assured her she would be cited in the photo caption.
I have tried to re- upload the photo through various ways in Wiki and I am in a loop...it says the file already exists even after I rename the photo on my computer before uploading. I am very discouraged with this process. I may need some serious hand holding to get through the process. I hope you can help with that. Whysosirius (talk) 23:07, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
P.S. I went through wp:otrs to try to upload and there, among other places, is where I got in the loop. Whysosirius (talk) 23:21, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
I was about to donate on a regular basis to Wikipedia, when I noticed that the fact that one of two of my most favorite teachers, David R. Hawkins, whose work has benefited numerous people in my own practice as a counselor, was deleted from Wikipedia. Certainly given the great number of books that David R. Hawkins has authored there should be no problem with verification of any information regarding him. In a effort to find out why there is no entry about him, his work of his life, I have gotten to here. I would greatly appreciate some reasonable insight as to why David R. Hawkins is not an entry in Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.69.73.190 (talk) 12:35, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I can see that you deleted the article on aikido teacher Seigo Yamaguchi, since the article did not show that the subject was notable.
If I may guess that the article was identical to this, http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/enwiki/en/Seigo_Yamaguchi for an aikido practicioner it is obvious that he is among the people that clearly are notable as aikido teachers. He was a direct student of the founder of aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, he taught att the world headquarters (Aikikai Hombu Dojo) for many years, and he has a large following of students who continues his line of aikido.
So may I ask you. Is the problem with the article simply the lack of sources? Otherwise I think this prodding and deleting is a case of people not knowing the subject not being capable judging notability.
Best regards, and Merry Christmas --83.188.196.6 (talk) 10:12, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I don't think it's very good form blanking SqueakBox' userpage, while his block is still discussed. Didn't want to revert it right away, before I caught your opinion on it. Would you consider unblanking the page? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:04, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello, Could you please undelete this file? You deleted it because a user had copied it to Commons. But actually, as a non-free image, it should not have been copied to Commons. It should get deleted there eventually. That is why it is necessary that this file be on Wikipedia, with of course the appropriate tags relative to the use of non-free images, in this case ((Non-free currency-EU coin national)), ((Non-free currency)) and ((Non-free use rationale)). The description page would, with minor adjustments, look like, for example, the description page of this other image. Thanks. -- Asclepias (talk) 20:03, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Fastily. I have a free image query, so you first came to mind. I wasn't aware that you had retired. I note you are still editing, so I'll ask you, and if you don't respond, I'll go bother someone else. I am uncertain if File:Frompastarchives.jpg can be used in the Unhalfbricking article. It is placed there as an illustration of the band on TOTP. The band released a single from the Unhalfbricking album, and did appear on TOTP performing the single. My understanding is that the band only made that one appearance on TOTP, so it is likely, though not confirmed, that the image is of the band playing the single from the album. Is that connection enough to allow usage of the image? Regards SilkTork *YES! 14:27, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
((subst:dnfcc|8=yes))
. Of course, if you feel otherwise, you're certainly more than welcome to improve Unhalfbricking's coverage of the file, but this would involve starting a completely separate section devoted to the significance of Unhalfbricking with regards to the 1969 Fairport convention. Hope that helps to clarify things. All the best, FASTILY (TALK) 00:22, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Elizabethswann600ppx.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:30, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

I am slightly confused here. This page was moved to Jonathan A. Obar a couple days ago. OK, fine.

Online Amb'dor • 08:44, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
Well first of all, my apologies for creating this situation. It was not my intention to get anyone in trouble, I simply had a slight problem, that to me, didn't seem all that unique. User:My76Strat was very helpful and polite, and though apparently there were some rules broken, I have no problem with what Strat apparently did (though perhaps I'm not totally understanding what happened here).
Specific to the issue of how this all started - I must say that I didn't realize that a newbie trying to figure things out would cause such an uproar. I would imagine though that when recruiting "experts" as the USPPI has attempted to do, those recruited will create or edit articles about the research and academic centers that they are affiliated with, thus, the reason that I thought it appropriate to join my colleagues Steven S. Wildman and Johannes M. Bauer who have articles linked to our Quello Center for Telecommunication Management and Law. I will also note that other colleagues of mine also have articles, see Amit Schejter. Perhaps I'm not as established as they are, so perhaps that is the reason why I do not pass the "notability" criteria, though I'm not quite sure what one has to do to be considered "notable" on Wikipedia (though I'm sure there is a whole list of arbitrary rules that have been created). I assumed that being a volunteer teaching fellow might give me a free pass, but clearly not. Look, I don't really care either way. Enforce the rules as you see fit. Hopefully someday soon I'll pass the test. Though I must clarify, that I'm not looking for "self-promotion," as you stated, which I find an utterly condescending way to describe what has gone on here. I thought WP was about expanding knowledge, not limiting it.
Lastly, I'll repeat again, that I hope that User:My76Strat isn't in trouble because of this 10-minute interaction. Strat was only trying to help me figure things out, and I don't see why that's cause for such concern (and public humiliation, which to be frank, is a bit shocking). I'm not an administrator, and wouldn't assume to know more about this than you all, so I'll just say that this is my newbie opinion. Jaobar (talk) 16:28, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

The user tells me they moved the content of their userpage to article space, and their userpage got deleted. Then the user moved the article back to his user page, leaving a redirect in userspace. He states he no longer needs the article. so I tag the redirect for deletion. Within a minute the user copies the content he had just moved back to his userspace into the redirect removing the CSD tag. Then he comments that the article is where he wants it but the history is still in his userspace. I told him what had happened. I eventually ask him to give me a few minutes without editing or moving and I would get it fixed. The only thing I did regarding all the confusing stuff is this: I got the article space page that was missing the history deleted, Moved the content of his userpage, which was the article he had moved there earlier, to the location he wanted it with its history and canceled the userpage redirect left behind. I hope this helps My76Strat 09:38, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Just went thru the history of CFX Bank.The bank was not formed in 2006.It was formed much earlier and in 2004 (not 2006) it merged with Century Bank. This link is useful - http://allafrica.com/stories/200404160641.html
Please follow the link which shows CFX Bank was in existance as of REGISTERED BANKING INSTITUTIONS: 30 JUNE, 2003 http://www.rbz.co.zw/300603/appendix2.asp
In addition look at the lastest report which shows CFX has been liquidated mostly due to the ownership dispute with EX-ENG Capital director.So on its History its relevant to include the ownership dispute which is well documented such that it cant be eliminated from CFX History.Please follow link.

On 29 March 2009, I took my first small steps as a Wikipedian.
Now, 2 years, 47,000 edits, 2 RfAs and many memories later, I'd like to share a drink, on my "wiki-birthday", with a few editors who made my early experience here a pleasant one. As much as I would like to thank each of those editors in non-templated fashion, or even buy them a drink in person, I fear I would be celebrating my fourth wiki-birthday (and very drunk!) before the task was complete. Thus, please accept this as a small, if slightly impersonal, token of what these collaborations, words of advice and moments shared have meant to me.

I notice you've deleted a large number of redirects of the form Wikipedia:Sandbox/Word association citing R3. However as these were all the result of page move the "recent" criterion of R3 means from when the title was created, not the redirect. In (almost?) all these cases the pages have been at those titles years and so are by no stretch of the imagination "recent".
Even if it was dated from the move, the word association pages were moved in early November 2010 - nearly 7 months ago - and so still not "recent" by any reasonable measure.
Finally, given the content was at those titles for several years, they certainly don't count as "implausible" either. While they may or may not remain useful, that is a question for WP:RFD to decide - not speedy deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 22:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

On the confirmed page, if you're not giving the confirmed right specifically because the user is already, or is going to be, autoconfirmed, could you mark requests as ((already done)) or simply ((done)), this is simply to help the bot with archiving, nothing to do with which rights you should be giving.

Hi, you left a comment on my Talk page about being involved in an "edit war" and mentioned I should've requested semi protection. The XRumer page has a history of malicious inserts. I've requested semi protection twice, and it was honoured twice. I've done my research when establishing xrumer.co as the official website namely: IP checks and later -- when a persistent IP editor persisted another website was official -- I contacted the software's author to confirm authenticity. Prior to that I had REMOVED the external links because there was a dispute. I specifically asked on Talk to not remove the EL without broad concensus on Talk, and referred the IP editor to discuss on Talk when I reverted the malicious edits. I don't feel as though I deserve being wristslapped for allegedly being involved in an "edit war". There's a long history and a lot of prior discussion and research that have gone into the edits.

Hey Fastily, User:50.36.57.143 was the IP you blocked who kept blanking his talk page history. Well, he blanked the fact that you banned him. I don't know what recourse you have to deal with this but if he keeps blanking his talk page then other admins are going to overlook him like you did and he'll be back to vandalizing as soon as his block expires.

If you haven't already, would you please take a look at the responses from Lgmagone (still editing as an IP, by the way) and myself at the edit warring noticeboard here [69]? He maintains I am seeking to make his life in Wiki miserable and that is just not the case. What's more, the reverts I made were not in response to a content dispute (as you stated in the resolution) -- I have explained more completely from my perspective what was actually happening at the Mortenson article. I just don't want to see this become a battleground again as it was when Lgmagone was editing and edit warring a month or so ago. Also.......it it permissible for him to continue editing using various IP addresses rather than his established account? Thanks for looking further into this situation.

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that the user (User:PublicAdvocate who you blocked for edit warring[70] seems to be back on the talk page,[71] posting as an anon IP from Denver, picking up the same contentious argument within a few hours after the block was applied. A block extension may be called for. Perhaps it's a coincidence that the anon IP traces to the same city as the headquarters of the subject of the article in question (i.e., LifeVantage, the manufacturers of Protandim); and perhaps not. Rhode Island Red (talk) 15:36, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
The user who has reported me to the 3R noticeboard has also recently revealed the owner of the IP address where I made some edits and trying to out me personally in real life. Can this be edited out? I tried and then he put it back in.
I've posted an apology to his talk discussion if I have offended him in the past. I don't wish to continue with the petty fights, but would like to be able to contribute to the Greg Mortenson article now and then without it being automatically reverted. 98.203.237.77 (talk) 16:01, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
Against my advice, the above user (formerly editing from the account Lgmagone) has created a new account and is now editing as WhereTimeStandsStill. I tried to explain to him that creating a new account could equate sockpuppetry in the eyes of some and that having his previous account name changed was a better course of action. He ignored my advice and is already editing with the new account. Since Will Beback has been involved in this mess, I am also notifying him of this latest development.

Could you explain to me why you used the word vandalism when blocking this user? As far as I can see none of their edits are vandalism but rather are attempts to improve the encyclopaedia.

Hello Fastily: Goldnpuppy was Gaming the System when he persuaded you to block my account on 8 June 2011. He falsely informed you that I have been “unresponsive to requests for accurate citations or or [sic] prior administrator warning.” In my last contribution to the article on Woodlawn Cemetery (Detroit, Michigan) on 8 June 2011, I attempted to include the name of a respected community member who is interred on the south side. I provided two working references to support the inclusion. These references refer to an obituary in a local Detroit, MI newspaper and an online video tribute. No administrator had ever issued a warning to me regarding my work on the Woodlawn Cemetery article. Goldnpuppy has also sought to protect the article to restrict collaborative editing and promote his nonneutral point of view. --99.60.184.133 (talk) 17:14, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
The info on prior contacts and history of the edits is posted on the Woodlawn Cemetery talk page. The user was contacted 17 April by an administrator regarding the unsourced post and did not respond. He was also advised about an inappropriate edit on another page which is mentioned on the Woodlawn page. He reposted the information within 60 minutes of its deletion wihtout comment or explanation.Goldnpuppy (talk) 03:04, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
True to Gaming the System, Goldnpuppy, now claims that he was referring to multiple articles when he persuaded you to block my account. Let's look at one of my "inappropriate edits" in another article: I referred to the estate of Matilda Dodge Wilson as "magnificent." Please compare your home to her home. Her estate features a 110-room mansion that sits on 1,400 acres with an 18 hole golf course. The mansion is the fourth largest historic home in the United States and is now a part of Oakland University. It features stone and wood carvings, sculpture, and fine art. --99.60.184.133 (talk) 04:49, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi. You recently applied full protection to this page. I wonder if you might consider lifting it now. The editor who requested it appears to have never edited the page. Although there is a great deal of discussion going on there, it's all meta stuff, and editing of the article is pretty orderly. We have one user who began warring but a unanimous consensus against his edit has formed on the talk page here, and he's been warned at ANI, so he can be dealt with by sanctions if he persists. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 21:45, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Given your RfA criteria, which include "A clean block log or no blocks for the last two years of sustained editing", what's your view on an administrator's block log like this one?

Good day. I've posed a question regarding a protection you made here: Talk:Winter_Is_Coming#Inquiry_for_Administrative_Staff. As a summary, you semi-protected an article citing edit warring, where policy states it should be full protection. Does this mean you are deeming the version that a certain IP is changing it to as vandalism? If so please clearly state it so this content dispute can be resolved and the current version gains consensus. If you are not deeming the edits as vandalism, then surely you should be full protecting as confirmed editors are involved in the edit war as well as non-confirmed. Thanks, --81.98.49.11 (talk) 07:46, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fastily. I recently requested permission for the Rollback flag, which was declined. You probably looked at my last 50 edits and saw that I hadn't done much vandalism fighting - I appreciate with a large number of users requesting this, that method is an easy and quick way to determine eligibility, so I have no problem with that. But as I do generally react to vandalism/inappropriate editing that I see from my watchlist, my request was more from the point of view of my long-term (if not as frequent) vandalism fighting. As far as I'm aware all my previous vandalism reversions have been correctly identified, I always leave the appropriate warning messages and I am always more than civil to fellow users. I do feel that I am an editor to be trusted with this feature and would help for when I have come across cases where an editor has vandalised over several edits.
So I'd be grateful if you could review my case please (I came here on the suggestion of Salvio). Thanks, Zangar (talk) 14:52, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, I was wondering if you noticed the rationale I posted under the speedy deletion request. It read:
Painting was made in 1962; Article 30 of Indonesian copyright law applies for 50 years after the publication of the work. Hence, taking a picture of the painting would be considered a derived work of a copyrighted image and not acceptable on Wikipedia. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
As noted in the file's description, it is the work of Anak Agung Gde Sobrat, who died in 1992 and clearly could not have uploaded it himself. The uploader has claimed that since s/he owns the painting, taking a picture of it and uploading it would be acceptable; However, this is not allowed as the copyright is still owned by Anak Agung Gde Sobrat. The painting was finished (perhaps displayed) in 1962, meaning that Indonesian public domain law does not apply for at least another year. Could you take another look at it? Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:50, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi. A quick question about your deletion of File:AWM 124957 PRIVATE LESLIE THOMAS STARCEVICH VC.jpg if I may. While there was no licence tag on the image, the contributing editor did make a good faith attempt to mark the image as public domain [72] and provided a link to where this could be verified (see [73]). Did you check this before you deleted the image or simply rely on the tag placed by the bot. I would ask that you restore the image and I will then add the appropriate licencing information. If not, I will take this to DRV. Many thanks. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 08:21, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I noticed you had deleted the image listed above. However, in the discussion it was found it could be listed as in the public domain and so was retagged as such. The result of that discussion was not delete. Could you explain why you deleted the image? Harrison49 (talk) 12:40, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
The full protection seems a bit severe. The problem editor, Core2012 (talk • contribs), has been insisting that he has had some kind of personal conversation with John Quiñones of ABC's Primetime: What Would You Do?, and has "assured" everyone that Quiñones says the show has been renewed for the 2011–12 season. The edit including the program to the schedule contains no identifying source saying the program is even renewed, much less to the specific date and time he is trying to include it to the table. I have had a somewhat lengthy conversation with him on my talk page (that's where he came to me after I initially reverted him) about verification and reliable sources, but he seems to feel that his word should be enough for us, and that we are somehow disputing Quiñones's word by requiring further proof. This is not a content dispute as the content, if it were at all sourced, would be perfectly acceptable. The problem editor has already been 3RR warned by me, and will be reported to WP:AN/EW if he persists, so I ask that you not punish other editors following WP:VER because of one editor's actions, and lift the full protection on 2011–12 United States network television schedule.

I just started a new page yesterday afternoon. Went to the store and came back to a speedy deletion request. This is my first time trying to build an article and tried to put on information pertaining to the subject to get a base to build on. I would not expect such an immediate action but I guess that is just the way it goes sometimes. Upon reading information about the speedy deletion I posted in the discussion area concerning this situation asking for clarification as to what was wrong and what I can do to fix this problem. Instead of receiving a response of any kind the article was deleted. Is this common practice to new accounts? I think it is rude to treat someone this way. I cannot understand how it is policy to tell someone they posted something wrong and then when they ask for clarification as to what exactly is being cited as wrong and why they are only answered by a deletion. I am asking for someone to restore the article. I will be more than happy to remove or fix whatever information caused this action. I just would like to know what that is. If it is something about copyright as per the title indicated, I do not understand what the copyright infrigement was. Any information I obtained from an independant site was not only on a public viewable page but any quotes were directly cited given credit to the source. That is not copyright infringement. I would really appreciate some help here.--Sramana School of Thought (talk) 05:17, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Please, reconsider this Ffd: Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_May_26#File:FARC-child-soldiers.jpg.

C'mon! Are you really reading the FfDs you're closing? In this Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_May_29#File:RAF_Eastcote_1945.png you deleted an image after the discussion concluded it was free.

I find it hard to see how you justify this deletion as a G6. G6 is for non-controversial cleanup. Since I started the page it is inevitably going to be controversial with me at least. Your edit summary says IP talk page without any meaningful, comprehensible content related to Wikipedia. The information is a record of a range block inserted on the base page of the range I blocked. It is therefore undoubtedly meaningful and related to Wikipedia: my apologies if it was not also comprehensible. Without this, there is no easily found record that the range has been blocked in the past and the reason, which may be significant for any future block. This is really no different from placing normal block notifications on an IP user page. Will you kindly restore the page please. SpinningSpark 15:23, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Fastily, you know I hold you in the highest esteem but unprotecting Carl Hewitt without consulting SlimVirgin, Cenarium or myself was not a good call. It wasn't protected because GovCom decided to expand into rewriting policy, it was protected because we can't use level 2 PC (as a result of the RfC) and semi has been insufficient to keep out serious BLP issues in the past. Unprotecting it at the request of an inexperienced editor who clearly doesn't understand what's been going on was not a good idea and it's been standard practice to refer unprotection requests to the protecting admin for longer than I've had the bit. Sorry to have a go, but I was more than a bit surprised to see that on my watchlist. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:31, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Hello Fastily. You re-deleted Talk:Horror comics in the United States, 1947–1954. Your logged reason "Page dependent on a deleted or nonexistent page" doesn't match the bluelinked article/redirect.

As an administrator, you should give example. If you block someone, at least, you should take your time to read and answer to the unblock request. Who do you think you are to ignore that right since you were the one to block? I had already ask for a resolution to the 3RR noticeboard and you prevented me to reply to them. Who you think you are acting like this? I take the time to follow the path wikipedia explains... I warn the other user... I explain to him why he is not acting correctly... I take the time to write to the noticeboard... What for? If Mr. Fastily decided for its own... "Follow the rules but watch yourself, some admins won't". And sadly, I don't really believe you will answer to this message either... --Maurice27 About Me, Talk, Vandalize. 04:45, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi,

Hi, Fastily. Thanks for taking action on the edit warring on this article. Fwiw, the situation seems to have calmed down and all three parties who were involved in the content dispute are discussing it rationally (both at Talk:International Socialist Organization#Funding and at my talk page). (I am uninvolved, having reverted once while patrolling recent changes without realizing there was a dispute in progress.) I wonder if you'd consider reducing the duration of the page protection. Other sections of the article need work (the uncontroversial kind), and I don't think things will go south again. If I'm wrong, I am watching the page and will be the first to support locking it down again. Rivertorch (talk) 06:38, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi there! I see you deleted the signatues I uploaded. I have a question. Why did you delete the files when the consensus was to mark them with the ((Do not move to Commons)) template. Do care to leave a talkback. GaneshBhakt (talk) 07:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
I agree one of us is wrong. I think its you, and already gave the reason why [So you prove you are...Delete:Keep ratio is 1:4] therefore I believed your action was unjustified. Now I know you think I'm wrong. Give a reason. GaneshBhakt (talk) 09:37, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Since the otrs ticket gave the wrong site and you gave no indication of having read my comments on the talk page of the file, why did you speedy delete it? Here are the comments that I left there which reproduced a message on User talk:Moonriddengirl.[76]

Let me break the blockade just this once, because unfortunately the user Tia solzago lacks the truth. My actions have always been discussed on the talk page [82]. But, there is a group Italian users, adherents or supporters of the Lega Nord, who are trying to eliminate from the "infobox" and the introduction a text which they consider inadequate, but that is well referenced by several sources: BBC, Der Spiegel, University of Zurich, etc. Reaching an agreement between them, and excluding references and opinions presented by those who don't agree, stating that it has reached a consensus, wich is not true. Refusing to consider whether references or reasons [83]. In fact he has been reported by their hostile attitude towards those who have a different view from him.[84]. Have a nice day.

Hi, about File:The empire strikes back newsweek.jpg I'm not quite clear about your rationale in closing this (relisted) FFD. Obviously, in a situation where there are already substantial votes on both sides, a mere retraction by the original nominator doesn't automatically justify a "withdrawn" keep closure.

Hi Fastily, please restore the page you deleted at File:Paleo-Hebrew.PNG, the reason for its contents was in the edit sum: Its history needs to be traceable for derived files on commons, whose renaming is currently being debated. If you think the information belongs on the discussion page, feel free to move it there. Or is there a better way to provide the reference? Best would be to restore the original redirect that was generated with the file's move. Dan ☺ 23:30, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi!, I notice you recently deleted this image of Wikipedia. However, I have stumbled upon more information that justifies why it should be used on the article. According to this source, [85] (it is in Spanish, I translated the page) the medals are shaped in away that symbolizes the agave tree which the region is famous for. I plan on putting this as the rational "To illustrate the medal design used during the 2011 Pan American games for educational purposes, and to display for readers the symbolism used in the design". Your concern was that a free equivalent can be found, but its not likely, because when the medals were released the media covered it (and so far no images that are free have been found). The event will not be covered till October when new images will be taken and the pictures which will not have a clear of shot of the medals (only the medalists with the medals they won). I hope you consider this. Thanks! Intoronto1125TalkContributions 00:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, just saw that you deleted File:Ray Willaim Johnson.jpg, which I'm fairly sure I tagged for deletion.

Please reconsider your closure of Wikipedia:Files for deletion#File:NikolaiGres.jpg. Did the keep !vote by Materialscientist just 1½ hours before closure influence your decision? If so, let me point out: 1) The !vote was based on irreplaceability (NFCC#1), but the nomination was based principally on no significant increase in reader understanding (NFCC#8). 2) The photo is in fact replaceable by a photo already in the article. —teb728 t c 08:57, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I have carefully read the "speedy deletion" criteria and it does not apply. I have made most of the improvements I had originally intended to make.

Hi there. We are on the limits to have another edit war again. Since I ain't convinced with user:Jaume87 edits in the infobox, I've placed a tag in the lead of either Valencian Community and Balearic Islands about the neutrality of the article being disputed. I opened a section at Valencian Community's talk page to solve this matter. The tag clearly states that we should "not remove this message until the dispute is resolved".
Since, anon users 31.96.10.14, 178.103.128.109, 178.111.133.82 and 178.111.155.48 (who are clearly identifiable as sockpuppets of User:Jaume87) are constantly deleting the tag. Something close is happening at Balearic Islands.
This time I will prevent myself from falling again in 3RR, but I ask this user to be investigated (as per wikipedia:Sock puppetry) to see if a block is necessary.

I tagged this file for speedy deletion as F6, but then noticed that that only referred to files with boilerplate fair-use tags. I then re-tagged it as F9, since the claim of "I (user_name) created this entirely by myself" was blatantly incorrect, as the image was of Time Warner's Lola Bunny. I'm now uncertain as to whether that applies either, as I don't know if it was copied from anywhere. So what would you suggest? Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:33, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
I'd appreciate some guidance as to why you consider this article to be unambiguous advertising. It is an accurate description of the organisation and its work, complete with references where these exist. Moreover, the MDI or MDI projects are referenced in other Wikipedia articles - for example the link if the the article on the International Federation of Journalists references the Institute for Media Diversity (actually the same organisation) and links to a joint IFJ-MDI project, Media 4 Diversity, http://www.media4diversity.eu/.
If you can indicate sections of the article that you conclude are unambiguous advertising, I will be happy to consdier rewriting or removing them. But I have been very careful not to include any normative statements in the article. It describes the background to the MDI, its history, its aims and what it does.
I can find no sources for criticism of the organisation but would be happy to include any that you can direct me to.

Hi, The company information (of Tiger IT Bangladesh Limited) that was added was done in neutral way stating the facts. Please let us know what changes you require for the page to exist. It's is the pioneer in the field of biometrics application in Bangladesh, and till today this is the only Bangladeshi company to accomplish that. This is a noteworthy achievement for a software company in our country. More importantly, many of its competitors have their entry in Wikipedia, whereas, Tiger IT ranks number one in competition. All claims about rankings were provided with detailed and accurate references for verification as well. This is also the company that had a historic contribution in running the country's first software based voter registration system in 2007-2008. A company that performed AFIS matching in 80 million records is very rare and had the largest database of this kind at the time of this achievement (in 2008). These are milestones set by not just a company, but a country.
Furthermore, if I.R.I.S. corporation can have their entry, we must allow Tiger IT's article to be here as well. Not to mention, Tiger IT's competitors NEC, SAGEM, Cogent Inc., also have their Wikipedia entries. Please rather share with me how we can make this article better, or if you need to see sources of all the facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freeway360i (talk • contribs) 05:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I notice that you critiqued my photos for "Jeff Current" and "Against All Will". I am not very well versed in Wikipedia, and I think that these photos are satisfactory for this article. Do you have any suggestions for either providing rationale or replacing the photos? Non-copyrighted photos of this band are difficult to come by.--Jax 0677 (talk) 19:56, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Fastily,
Can you explain specifically which portions of the page conformed to the G11 deletion policy? I wasn't aware my writing style was that of promotion or advertising but if so I apologise! Is it possible to revert the page to I may rectify this? Or have some guidelines on how to rectify the tone of the page? Regards, JStopford (talk)
Thankyou for your response Fastily, is it possible to revert my page to its last status but transfer it somewhere out of main circulation so I may edit it without fear of deletion? Regards, JStopford (talk) 16:15, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Why is it that you feel that I am vandalizing the KJS page. It is as if none of you even read what I have stated regarding the edits I have made. I am not doing anything anonymously, I registered so you would have more than my IP, and I have given rationale for my edits each time. You folks just change things back and offer no real rationale for why my edits are not acceptable nor why the article the way it is should be allowed to stand.
I am not trying to be a vandal. Nor am I trying to be partisan.I am seeking an alternative to present the material that KJS's detractors feel mightily should be included, but in a manner less disruptive than just inserting their material. Why is a new section that tries to address the fact that the controversy exists a problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermano Dahveed (talk • contribs) 16:46, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi there I am not particularly bothered, but was wondering why my user page was marked for speedy deletion and then deleted before I could contest it? I seem to have annoyed some rather vexatious wikipedians. I recal having left a draft article on there perhaps by mistake as it was not meant to be visible. Is that it? I have no interest in making my own page as it were really. But don't want to be tarred with a spammy brush undeservedly because some do not like my views or honesty (I post under my real name). Any guidance would be appreciated.--JaySorrels (talk) 17:46, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I saw that you were involved in blocking 1007D indefinitely. I was wondering if you could maybe help me out with him. His contributions to the article on The Downward Spiral are absolutely atrocious and have basically ruined it. His contributions elsewhere are also really terrible. Although he is blocked, my concern is that he may be unblocked for some reason relating to his vandalism and remain able to continue ruining articles non-vandalously. Do you know where I can bring this up? I've dealt with vandals before but not people serially ruining articles with poor content. Thanks a lot, LuftWaffle0 (talk) 21:12, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I am new to Wikipedia and I've been having some trouble getting a page posted (and to remain) on Wikipedia about c3controls.This was the message you left:(G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.c3controls.com/c3-history.cfm)
I don't understand how this is considered a copyright infringement when I deleted the in-question text. I am in the process of approving the "history" material via the copyright owner and I understand why it was flagged. Once I deleted the information flagged for copyright infringement, why was the whole site deleted? Eedelst (talk) 19:22, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
If you read the logs, you'll notice the page has actually been protected for nearly three years [100]. The person who requested unprotection was materially wrong on the facts. We can try this, but I suspect it will be a very short experiment, as the reason the page isn't being vandalised currently is because it was protected. Courcelles 21:31, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Fastily, I came back to your talk page to see if you had responded to my question about the deletion of the article about the Burra Record newspaper, but it looks like you have deleted my question. I'm just trying to understand why content that a copyright holder have given permission to be reproduced on Wikipedia might have been deleted - I would like to contribute more articles based on information that is already published on my website, but I will not do so if they still run the risk of being deleted even with the permission. I'm a new to Wikipedia and am just trying to find my way around the principles/expectations of the Wikipedia community. kind regards Joannalibrarian (talk) 06:06, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, just an FYI, I was just about to decline the speedy when you deleted the page, oops. I looked at the other site here and that info was posted June 21, after it was already on Wikipedia. The other site copied the Wikipedia article, not the other way around, so it shouldn't have been a copyvio. Not that I'm 100% sad to see the article go, but it shouldn't have been a G12.

Ola;
Respectfully, if you don't want people "exaggerating/drawing unintended meanings from [your] words" then put a little bit more care into them. As an administrator you're commonly perceived as a "wikipedia policeman." When someone with authority, be it weight or height, badge or block button, says "be careful" it's almost always threatening to the person on the wrong end of the power dynamic.
And "Capisce?" is a mob reference to the vast majority of the English speaking Americas, mate, particularly when it's spelled wrong and other-wise out of context. I don't know what made you use that particular word at that particular time, but again you've left yourself open to interpretation,
Anyway, I'll get back in my box now. - Aaron Brenneman (talk) 01:37, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I made a lot of research and I rewrote the article that was deleted. I was wondering if you could give me some feed back and let me know if it's ready to be published. Right now it was created as a user page, and the pictures are not uploaded yet, since I am waiting for the copyrights from the creator, I don't think there's any rush to upload them.

Hello Fastily, you declined to protect the Talk:Hebron page as the user accounts had been blocked. Please see this for continued disruption. Obviously the account should be blocked, however the user in question, Runtshit, has no problem making more accounts (a look at Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Runtshit should establish that). nableezy - 18:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Did you notice when you deleted Saimir Pirgu that part of the article had been rewritten since it first appeared? As for your assertion of "unambiguous copyright infringement": please note that there are not many different ways to enumerate a subject's past performances and the list of opera houses and conductors of her/his career. Lastly, shouldn't a speedy deletion be announced with a notice?

Hi, would you mind looking at the page File:CirrusField-color.jpg? It seems that a tag has been applied which requires that the initial image description page be examined to look for whether disclaimers had been added. As the original page is now deleted, I cannot see it. Would you mind taking a look for me. By the way, this is what prompted the question, so I thought I'd ask the expert!

Is there a need for additional admins to accomplish mundane tasks (such as your deletion per my request of my user talk sub page)? And to do mundane things that regular users can't? I ask because I have the time, I've been a Wikipedian for 7 years now and know that admins do a lot of things behind the scenes to help things go along smoothly. I haven't made the unofficial 2000 edits requirement (though including IP edits I probably do), but have certainly been around long enough to see there's a lot of backlogs; I've gotten so much out of Wikipedia (meaningful contribution and use) if needed I'd like to help spread the workload.

Thank you for considerate me for be an admin, but I decided that in the upcoming two or three years I do not like to be an admin. The main reason is that I do not speak English very well, it may not be a problem, but I do not want to block somebody because I misunderstand their edits. Also, some of my editing may not be welcomed to some users, and it's needed to be an admin. I really liked that you were the first admin who officially liked my editing for been an admin, but I'd like to grow-up (I'm almost 20) before be one. When I believe it is time, I'll create my RFA.

In performing the above action all the pages which linked to that article, previously moved to William Denys by another editor, have now lost their link.

Hi, I noticed you've deleted the article Curry Center on the grounds that it was "exclusively promotional" (G11). I believe that as a restaurant, it deserves an article of its own. To the best of my knowledge, the article contained neutral information from a purely academic point of view. It was by no means "unambiguous advertising or promotion." Upon placement of the speedy deletion tag in the article, I contested it in the talk page, but the article was still deleted without any further notice (though I was away for a while and could not see the talk page during the time; I'm judging that it was deleted "without any further notice" by the fact that no message has so far been left on my talk page after I contested the speedy deletion tag). I would like to kindly request you to undo your deletion of the article, or at least specify how exactly you see the article as having been "exclusively promotional" so that we may improve it and iron out any chinks.
