You know that we can't call it Season 4 seeing as there are NO given references, and 'Undubbed' is to wired so what should they be called K.O.K Kev (talk) 04:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
As you've initiated the change and have been reverted by two editors, please start a discussion on the talk page to help determine consensus. You're currently in conflict with 3RR, so it'd be better off to determine among editors what's clear for readers for the title. --Happy editing!

I noticed a user who deleted the Season 4 section, and added unreferenced episode information to the Season 3 page. I understand that the information there might have not been clear enough for him, but he still disrupted Wikipedia by his edits. 72.197.237.120 (talk) 22:34, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
I was curious why you undid the revision on the Sliders article which placed it in the "Television series revived after cancellation" category? Fox actually did cancel Sliders at the end of season three in 1997; Universal Studios, through Sci-Fi Channel, then revived Sliders for a season four which began airing in 1998.
There are several things I disagree with in the revived Television category list (and perhaps the list should be dismantled), but Sliders is a text book example of the list description.DBHughes (talk) 05:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
I have centralised the discussion about referencing of Detroit 1-8-7 to Talk:List of Detroit 1-8-7 episodes#the 14th & 15th episodes and as one of those who has objected to the ABC press releases being acceptable sources you are invited to join in and explain beyond edit summary constraints why you object. delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 06:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
You do not need to agree but WP:SOURCEACCESS is clear. The LA Times and other newspapers can be accessed at libraries or by obtaining a copy through the publisher. I also have multiple articles not available online if you want them emailed to you. However, this is not mandatory so stop reverting. Cptnono (talk) 19:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
(driveby) Mike, if you have a library card for your state system, there's a good chance that you can gain access to the pay sites for free from your home computer by logging into the library site which serves as a proxy. State of NC Library system works this way. Also, Wikipedia:List of online newspaper archives & Wikipedia:News sources/Collections might come in handy for you sometime. Hopefully helpful,

Could you please stop changing the formatting to this page? It is currently fine the way it is. Tinton5 (talk) 16:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
I have restored the edit you undid. Please explain your action if you revert the article back again, as the text you restored was nonsensical (as written, its literal claim was "Brothers" is not an abbreviation for "brothers"), inconsistent (supposing it was intended to claim "Bros." is not an abbrevation for "brothers" which is inconsistent with the abbreviation's English meaning AND is inconsistent within the article itself which states the studio was named after brothers with the Warner name as described in the History section). Further, the reference link you restored was a blank page, and I could not find any corroboration on the Warner Bros. website disputing that Bros. is an abbreviation of Brothers.
If you dispute the revision, please discuss it in the talk page. The original editor, logged by I.P. address instead of a logged-in name, explained their edit, but you did not seem to discuss it before reverting their edit inexplicably. Thanks. --Chibiabos (talk) 23:25, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey, you don't seem keen to engage in discussion on Talk:Brazil_(film). I was just wondering why you are so emphatic that Brazil is not a Christmas film? It has constant Christmas imagery throughout. If you look through Category:Christmas films you will find many movies, for example Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Black Christmas (1974 film), Black Christmas (2006 film), Lethal Weapon, Gremlins, The Ice Harvest, Silent Night, Deadly Night 4: Initiation, etc that seem to be in the category simply because they are set at Christmas but have far less actual Christmas imagery and content than Brazil. Can you explain why they are Christmas films while Brazil is not, or are you also planning on removing them from the category? Pearce.duncan (talk) 02:39, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Greetings - could you come back and set new eyes on the article, maybe add to the suggestions?

Thank you for your message. My purpose in editing the Sharyn McCrumb page was to update and expand upon the one source cited (a 2004 Library Journal article. My sources are verifiable and credible, and no content in the article deviates from these sources. I am not in the employ of Mrs. McCrumb. I do provide library research assistance to her in my capacity as a librarian. Thank you for the reminder on the COI. I was unaware of this policy, and I will correct any information that might lead readers to believe the article is biased.LoraOlivia (talk) 11:48, 14 May 2011 (UTC)LoraOlivia

Even if you disagree with the usage of the term "Spock Principle", why did you remove the entire quote box, unless you're saying that your opinion on the matter supersedes that of the Supreme Court of Texas? Also, the other part of the article that you removed quite clearly states that utility theory pre-dates Spock .... but while J.S. Mill may pre-date Spock, I can guarantee you that if you did a random survey of people on the street more of them will have heard of Spock, and for Wikipedia that's what counts. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert. I was starting to think we'd seen the last of this sockpuppet, as he'd given up apparently, but now, months later, he's back again. The 92... ISP is pretty much a giveaway, as is the fact that he hardly even bothers to argue the reversions anymore, which someone new at a similar ISP would certainly do. I wish I could arrange to protect every article he starts in on, but I'm not empowered to do that. Thanks for the vigilance. Monkeyzpop (talk) 08:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm sorry if I was removing your deletion code. I panicked because I was writing the article for work. If there's anything I can do to make it up, please say. About the article itself, I understand your concern, and I want to see if we can make it work to restore the article to Wikipedia. I feel that the version that only included the history of the product and excluded any of the in-depth technical information from the website is valid. The reason I say this is because a product that does exactly the same thing as ReduceMail Pro, Enterprise Vault, is on Wikipedia. We got off on the wrong foot, and it was my fault. If there's anything we can do to make this work, please say. Ereep (talk) 16:27, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
At this point I don't want to do the article for work. I'm taking myself off the timesheet to write this article. I want to do it for me. I want to to write it at a private citizen. I should have been getting paid for all this stuff relating to trying to get the article back up, but I'm intentionally choosing not to get paid. I'm totally serious. I promise you this: I hereby make it that I am not doing this page for work. I will only work on it from home or when I am not getting paid. I care so much about getting this on that I will forgo my wage whenever I am doing something in relation to this Wikipedia page. I am on my hands and knees, Mr. Wazowski. What do I need to do to make sure that there is no conflict of interest? I will not take any money in relation to this project anymore. It will become a private project relating to my interest in such software. Ereep (talk) 13:32, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Once again you are being accused of being a proxy of mine. I guess we've come a long way since you reported me for the 3RR I was guilty of a couple of years a back. I only mention that 3RR because it demonstrates that A) we are not in "cahoots", B) we have grown as editors, and C) despite any past issues we can work together at this point. I have come to respect and value your opinion as an editor, but I would recommend just ignoring drama and drop the stick. It's not worth it. Nothing good will come from continued discussion over nonsense. That's my peace and those will be my only comments on the matter. Thanks. Erikeltic (Talk) 22:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
I'd appreciate it if you could stay off Jake's talk page for the duration of his block. It's not helpful. I'm not asserting you've done anything wrong with your edits, that your a puppet of E, or anything like that. He just needs time to cool down. Thanks. Gerardw (talk) 19:50, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

It's well-known that the film was shot at the real-life locations. What sort of online source would be considered acceptable? The only other reference is another site, which also discusses this, as do others. I don't know what a "Tripod" site is, so don't understand why it's not okay. Ideas on how to deal with it?--TEHodson 02:46, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Hello there Mike. Just a little request. It seems that Twinkle, quite annoyingly, doesn't mark pages as patrolled even when you tag them for WP:CSD, WP:PROD or WP:AFD. I've just come across an article, that you'd tagged for WP:CSD on the unpatrolled list. I'm sure you already know, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the article, there will be a little link in square brackets that says mark this page as patrolled. If you click that the it'll get taken off the unpatrolled list and no-one else will come across it. It's not your fault, I know; it's Twinkle's. But until they fix it, it'd be great if you clicked that link just before you tagged an article. I've marked that one as patrolled. Sorry to be a pain. Keep up the good work. — Fly by Night (talk) 20:07, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm confused about who I should raise this issue with - I got an email that indicated you had determined that the MDI article was 'unambiguous advertising' and therefore a candidate for speedy deletion. By the time I had a chance to look, someone else (I think) called Fastily appears to have deleted it.
As a new contributor, I find this all very disheartening, while the procedure for requesting reconsideration seems unbelievably byzantine and virtually impossible to navigate - particular when speedy deletion is concerned.
To the point.
I'd appreciate some guidance as to why you consider the 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 a link in 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 consider 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.
Finally, it seems to me that there might well have been other more appropriate solutions to the problem (if there is a problem) - for example, reducing the length of the article. There are plenty of similar articles on Wikipedia as far as I can see. I'd appreciate a bit more consideration and some explanation.

Gherman317 (talk) 17:06, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
I've worked for the organisation in the past, but then I'm a journalist, it's what I do. I am trying to produce an article that actually describes what this organisation does, because I think it deserves an entry. I appreciate that you may think that it's possible to be completely objective about things, but I believe that Wikipedia actually demonstrates that what you describe as 'encyclopedic' is in fact a negotiated form of truth often emerging from discussions such as this one. You are absolutely right that much of the material in the article was taken from the MDI website - but the point you should be asking (if you'll pardon my presumption) is whether it's accurate or not. I've checked - it is. Unfortunately, the website also happens to be one of the few sources of information about the organisation. But, in my view, any organisation that is quoted by the United Nations is likely to be worth a Wikipedia entry. Perhaps it should have been shorter.

Hi,
Im not really sure why you want the Monsters University (2013 film) page to be deleted. Like every other film sequel/prequel on wiki, they all have their own articles. Monsters University is a feature film. And yes, there already is a page for Monsters University. But thats in the Monsters, Inc. page, in the prequel section. It's redirected there. Thats what needs to be fixed. Point being, the Monsters University (2013 film) should not be deleted because the film has its own set of information that needs to be put in its OWN separate article. I really hope that makes sense to you..... (Endrizzi427 (talk) 02:31, 2 July 2011 (UTC))
Yeah, i see you fixed the link for it leading to its article that i created, instead of going into the prequel section of the monsters, inc. page. Thank you for doing that! therefore, the page Monsters University (2013 film) should be deleted. (Endrizzi427 (talk) 02:42, 2 July 2011 (UTC))

Mike, Thank you for you concern.
Sir, this is a 16 year old girl we are talking about. Her accomplishments cannot be put on the internet. And Sir this is middle east so you know there will not be so much popularity in worldwide.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the links. I'm trying to put up a new article called Propplan. It's like a web graphic editor you see out there. I see quite a number of these graphic editors listed on Wikipedia, so I thought it was alright for me to do the same. I read that if a post got deleted, I can try to "tone down" my voice and make it more neutral. Will you please be kind enough to read and let me know if it is passable now?
Also, my references were included on my first edit, but I don't know how to get the first edit back, so I need to find those references again. Therefore, I haven't published the page just yet.
Thanks for your time and I do not take anything personally. Sincerely, Nongplubplub (talk) 15:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Hello Mike! You deleted today several links I added to major violin concertos referring to the site of my research project about 20th century violin concertos. The site fulfills serious research and data, is well-known among violinists of international reputation (check the testimonials on the site) and for a long time an external link on the wikipedia sites of "Violin concerto" and "List of violin concertos". Now I added discography data and so wanted to add this information to a few major violin concertos. I cannot understand the difference between the normal "Violin concerto" site and these specific violin concerto sites. Can you please explain the difference?
Thanks in advance and best, Tobias (user: violinconcerto) (----) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Violinconcerto (talk • contribs) 19:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Hello Mike! a nickname is a nickname, nothing more, nothing less - or are you a green running egg with an eye? Therefore your suggestion , my "nickname implies I am more than one person" is a baseless speculation and I summon you to refrain from propagating such personal opinions. If you would be deeper into classical music - which you are definitely not - you would know me and that I am doing this as a single person. So stop this "you are an organization" thing! Second I would like to focus your attention to a few things which you might have overseen and which hopefully show you, that the add of my link is correct: For over 15 years I am doing research strictly on the topic of 20th century violin concertos. I contacted libaries, MICs, performers and composers personally to gather data to this topic. So the compiled database is the largest and most complete resource in the world !! The site is widely known among soloist like Liana Issakadze, which won several violin competitions of international reputation. So my website is a reliable, serious, academic resource! For the Wiki-site we are talking about (the Bartok violin concerto No.2) I would add a link to my site because on my site one can see a complete discography of the concerto. This is an information not provided on the site so far. And it is an information a lot of collector are interested in, which belongs to the whole subject of this specific piece and there are different other Wiki entries which have this topic as well: For example the discography of the violin concerto by Egward Elgar has its own Wiki-site! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgar_Violin_Concerto_discography). Third my site is an external link for several years on other violin concerto related Wiki-sites like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_concerto or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_violin_concertos. As well I am cited a few times for other articles due to the fact that there is no larger and better database than mine for this topic! (see the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vangelis_Petsalis website). Therefore where is the difference between adding a linkt o my site on the Bartok article as on the other ones? So finally I cannot understand why you feel you are in the position to undo things I have made just leaving two sentences as an explanation. I am pretty sure you are not really deep into this topic of 20th century violin concertos - otherwise we would have talked in the past and met somewhere in the internet - and so I think its quite arrogant to make decisions whether my site is fine or not, whether I am an organization or not. You expect seriousness from the links added - fine. But then please take a bit more time and study the topic before making decisions.
Best, Tobias (user: violinconcerto) (----)
Hi Mike
I saw you undid the edit i performed on the page The Shrinking Violets. I performed this edit because the band title does not have a 'the' in the title and there were links from other pages such as Phantom Records which were breaking because they correctly cite the band name as 'Shrinking Violets'. What needed to happen (which is what I did, was for the page on 'The Shrinking Violets' to redirect to a new page 'Shrinking Violets' to provide for incoming links from other pages. I inserted the appropriate redirect link to a newly created page so that it all worked.
Can you explain why you took the redirect out and restored the incorrect page??

Hi Mike
I've re-edited the entry on Ablaze! taking into account the notices you placed.
I've removed any 'peacock' terms.
I've done quite a lot more research and beefed up references significantly. This was a bit of a challenge in that pretty much anything published before the days of mass internet tends to be much less referenced than subjects of a similar nature published since the Internet took off as a mass medium. I have however sourced references from a couple of recently published books, and one academic paper I found online.
In terms of being notable, I'd argue that if a self published fanzine from a provincial UK city is still being referenced almost 20 years later in academic literature, then it is notable to some extent. Karren Ablaze! is also cited in the Wikipedia entry on Riot Grrrl - the only non US person to be cited in that article. Some of the other contributors are notable in already having Wikipedia entries.
My motivation for originating the entry, is that I was surprised that there was not already an entry, when there are entries for contemporary US publications such as "Forced Exposure'. Ablaze! was an important and influential fanzine in the context of indie music for the period it existed, both in the US and UK, but particularly in Northern England. It was certainly a very important part of the Leeds music scene at the time - local band the Cribs (from Wakefield, a satellite town of Leeds - were influenced by it. This of course is opinion, which is why I've removed anything I can't find reference for from the entry.
In terms of conflict of interest, I did conduct an interview with Sonic Youth in 1988, but I was not an important contributor to the magazine, and I certainly wouldn't list myself as a notable contributor.
I'm not selling anything.

Ross Holloway

Also posted on Star Wars Talk page but since you are the one making the changes I felt it should be mentioned directly to you as well. In a nut shell it is odd to me that a prime time full length in-canon Lucasfilm produced Star Wars special should not be on the template. And further it is odd that non-films are listed as spin-off films. Thank you.
For example The Great Heep was not a spin-off film but a tv special based on the Droids cartoon. The Padawan Menace is virtually the same thing but a spin-off television special of The Clone Wars. It is not a small little short like the previous LEGO Star Wars specials but a full television length tv special. Only the third in the Star Wars franchsie and unlike those small shorts this is made by a major animation house. It is very much warranted inclusion on the template.

Hi there, you reversed a PROD last month on Peter Haynes, with the comment "don't think this is necessary".

Hi MikeWazowski. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Conor Matthew Mccreedy, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. The article is not solely promotional and would not require a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic. If notability is in question, take it to AFD. Ryan Vesey contribs 22:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Mike -
I edited the page according to your comments... What more must I do to ensure the page is not deleted? It is NOW completely sourced with the exact information stated contained in the sources. I re wrote it to make it neutral, purely factual and not as an advertisement. It is a legitimate biography as Veronica has published several novels, been in several films and co runs a charity organization that does new age philanthropy. This is described in her article as it is relevant and important.
I addressed all four of your concerns. Please let me know if there is more I must do to keep this page up and running in a legitimate, cooperative and proper manor.

Hello Mike, you are spot in with the tags I looked at--I've followed you for a bit just now, blocking spam editors and deleting one or two of the articles you nominated for speedy deletion. I did, however, remove the speedy from Jean Dasque--it wasn't wrong, but sometimes it's more fun creating articles than deleting them. I've added a little bit, and if you play around with it some you can easily turn it into a decent article. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 01:17, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
I have undone your edit to Killer Love as it appears that you misunderstood the purpose of the credits section. In no way does it promote anyone or anything, rather it is to give credit to all those working on album bar the songwriters and producers. Hundreds of thousands of Single and Album pages including WP:Featured articles and WP:Good articles include them because the credits are an important part of the article. On of the criteria for quality status B and above is a conclusive overview of all aspects of an album including those who've worked with the singer. Albums cannot recieve this without including a credits section. In future do not remove such information (which is sourced) without prior discussion. Also if you are going to make such a drastic change I suggest you also discuss it first. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 16:34, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

I've noticed that you've been deleting many of my edits. My recent contributions to articles have been part of an effort to improve coverage of regional theatre, particularly in the region of Pittsburgh, and I don't understand why you've removed most of my contributions. Although the original productions of plays are the most important information to be included in articles, I believe that because regional theatre is an important cultural force in keeping theatre alive, subsequent regional productions should be listed as much as possible. Please consult with me before you undo more of my edits. I would be happy to discuss with you what should be considered notable in the world of regional theatre, but I would prefer if we could come to an agreement about this before you undo all of my work. I don't mean to sound combative at all, but since I have invested considerable time and energy into contributing a great deal of information on theatre to Wikipedia, I would like to have a discussion before more of my contributions are removed.

Please do not edit war with me. As you'll see in Wikipedia's template for theatre articles, professional productions are acceptable for inclusion into articles about theatre pieces. There is precedent for detailed production histories of plays in Wikipedia articles (see Dark of the Moon, The Room, Camino Real, Copenhagen). I am willing to provide ample evidence of secondary reliable sources for all of the productions I have contributed to Wikipedia articles. I truly hope we can resolve this through discussion and consensus, rather than back-and-forth editing changes. Thank you!--Frankgorshin (talk) 20:38, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi MikeWazowski, I hope that you agree with some of the arguments presented here by Nemonoman: [5]. The article on Don Stevens will be deleted and I doubt enough material can be found to write one that will stand. But as long as it is there, can you please refrain from adding this "cult leader" about Meher Baba? As said in the arguments by Nemonoman, this can well be added in the right place in the article, if the citations are indeed reliable. But adding it to every single mention of Meher Baba anywhere in Wikipedia is putting an undue emphasis on this one opinion. At least the administrator hopes "that discussion should continue at Talk:Meher Baba on whether to include the phrase in that article." Thank you. Hoverfish Talk 03:23, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I recently posted an article titled JJ Money which received a speedy deletion nomination, and the page was deleted before I had a chance to know what the issue was with the article.
It was suggested to resolve the issue on your talk page so if there is any way I could get a bit more information as to why exactly the page was deleted, and if there is a way the article can be reposted or improved to meet the Wikipedia standards for article writing it would be great if you could share this information with me or advise me in other ways.

I've been a big contributor to Wikipedia for years and have never had someone interfere with my extremely accurate contributions...until this week when you removed information that I made to the Mary Tyler Moore Show page.
In the early 90's I was an editor at Encore Video (and other major post houses in Hollywood) and worked directly with many people who used to work for MTM Productions, the company that produced all the shows for the company founded by Grant Tinker and mary Tyler Moore. One of the people I worked with was Mark Tinker, the producer son of Grant Tinker. He told me the information that I contributed to the MTM Show page. Mark Tinker was the individual who was part of the management at MTM who ordered the 35mm negatives of the shows destroyed after they had been archived on inferior 3/4" Umatic tapes. Gaining this knowledge from one of the MTM management team (and son of founder Grant Tinker) makes this information extremely reliable (more so than from some magazine article or even some book). Please refrain from acting so quickly when good contributors are only trying to deliver truthful facts to Wikipedia's pages and to the world.
And, how can I KEEP you from deleting this information when I post it once again?

Concerning your edit of Don King not being an Honorary Alumni of Central State University. If you were to take the time to search the string "Honorary Alumni Humane Letters" this is the type of link you would find (https://www.vts.edu/ftpimages/95/misc/misc_95974.pdf) and there are hundreds of them. Every university considers those who they award Honorary Degrees as Honorary Alumni. This is an axiom. Moreover, Central State University has paraded Don King in their brochures as being an alumni of the university.
Next, in the Wiki Category, there is no distinction between Actual or Honorary, nor should there be if universities don't distinguish. I fully agree that earning a degree is drastically different than receiving an honorary degree, but the category is NOT called 'People who Earned a Degree from YADA University' or 'People who Graduated from Yada University'. On the contrary, it is called 'People who are Alumni of YADA University'. Again, Honorary Alumni and Alumni, otherwise they would not be called Alumni at all.

I do have a question though, how is Newfield IT in the Independent Consultancy Practices when they are owned by Xerox?

How is that independent???
My business has been providing brand independent consultancy and managed print services for over 12 years and is incorporated in the locations listed so I feel it is more than reasonable that I can post that in this section that is incomplete.
It seems I cannot though as you are treating it like your personal domain and protecting it from others who are involved in this industry.
Isn't Wikipedia supposed to be a shared site where people can learn about topics and potentially learn about what is available to them?

I'm not sure what's going on, but I've noticed you've been attempting to delete filmmaker Benjamin Potter for some time now, despite his accomplishments in television, new media, and film. Perhaps you're not familiar with the business of film and television, but writers often purposefully attempt to remain clear of interviews, the spotlight, etc. I suspect Benjamin Potter is one of them. Although IMDB is easy to edit, credentials on the site are not and must be legitimately backed up with either a television distributor or film festival/film distributor. This argument applies to writers throughout the industry. In the film business, credentials count for everything. It is clear that Benjamin Potter's credentials are worthy of recognition - 2 TV shows on Sky (the biggest cable supplier in Europe), as well as a series of films that have played at major international film festivals.
I'm going to report these deletions to fellow administrators in hope that it will not repeat itself to other distinguished artists out there who don't have much media attention to cite.

Hi there MikeWazowski,
I would like to now why it is that you have undone my last edit to the article Star In The Hood and restored direct link and COI tag under the reason "Removing promotional content" when if you had taken a look at Talk:Star In The Hood where I have given my explanation on the previous edits that I had made on the article to Drmies then you would see that I have re-ajusted the edits that I had previously made to make the article more in line with Wikipedia's neutra point of view, that is why I had removed the COI tag after making the re-ajustements to the article. If you thought in any way that my last edit to the article was still un-neutral or promotional like you mentioned when you undone my last edit which I made in good faith to the article [Star In The Hood] you could have easily left me a message on my talk page like what Drmies had done explaning what parts in the 4 paragraphs of the article that you believe that I made on my last edit to the article [Star In The Hood] that was still un-neutral or promotional or both, then I would of happily took your word and re-edit the article to what you in fact find exceptable to be un-promotional and neutral, instead of just totally disrespecting me and undoing my edit and restoring the COI tag, accusing me of being affiliated to [Star In The Hood] clothing company when all I was trying to do hear is create the article [Star In The Hood] which should of been created 2 years ago and put the information that I have gotten from the internet which is clearly stated on the articles sources if you take no more than 1 minute to click on them and have a look for yourself MikeWazowski.

First of all, I declined the speedy deletion of DAR motion pictures, as the article has already been nominated for speedy deletion and already declined by me: they are a film studio which has released several major films in India, clearly making them not only "important or significant" but also notable.
More importantly, I am extremely concerns with what I see on your talk page. First of all, I don't see you responding to any of the admins or others who have contested your speedy deletions--you just keeping plowing ahead, and thus causing people extra work to fix your improper tagging. While its fine to make errors, it's a problem to not acknowledge those errors and attempt to improve.
But an even bigger problem are the several sections I see right above me--your complete lack of response to article editors who have concerns about why their article or content is being nominated for deletion. If you are going to tag someone's work for speedy deletion, you have to be willing to discuss and explain it to them. The vast majority of these people simply don't understand how Wikipedia works, and need someone to explain it to them. Many times they still won't be happy, but they'll feel a lot better than if they're just ignored. Sometimes, they may even be able to help fix the problems. Now, I took a look through your contribution history, and I don't see any comments to any editors, or talk page discussions, or, really, anything other than the tagged and mandatory notification. It's possible I'm missing some places where you have communicated, but at least recently, there hasn't been any communication. I even assume you won't respond to this message. But if you are unable or unwilling to communicate with people who dispute your edits, in my opinion, you need to stop CSD tagging. Refusal to engage with other editors, especially new editors, is, in my opinion, directly and clearly harmful to the encyclopedia, because it drives away, with near certainty, every new editor who gets no response from you. This concerns me so much that if I continue to see these problems, I may raise the issue on WP:ANI or elsewhere, because I think such damage needs to be prevented.

Thanks for the notification regarding the Wikipedia Page about me, which I made changes to yesterday. Just to confirm, the changes I made to the "Gregory Frost" page involved links to book titles (updating what were haphazardly applied links), Wikipedia links to pages of relevant book and anthology editors named on the page (which previous posters had not forged), and updates on publishing data listed. No conflict of interest as no opinions were expressed.

Hello MikeWazowski, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Paul Banks, Icon in Homer - a page you tagged - because: Article claims he has a school named after him. Thats a claim of notability, and thus fails A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know.

(talk page stalker)The page will disappear from Wikipedia's search soon (it usually happens in a few days--the search algorithm always lags behind the encyclopedia by a day or two). As for Google, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do, especially if the page was copied by any of the dozens of sites that automatically copy everything ever added to Wikipedia, or if Google themselves saved a cache of the page. Google's search program is an entirely separate site and organization from ours, and we have no control over what they (or the sites that copy Wikipedia) do. However, if the term is not particularly popular, it should, over time, be replaced with more relevant search terms on Google, hopefully. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:14, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, im new to wikipedia and I wrote yesterday an article about Aquaknow. Im a user of this platform and really think it is useful for the cooperation and water community so I thought it was useful to have a description about it. However you sent it for speedy deletion and I would like to know why? Which are the parts which I supposely copied? If they were from the aquaknow website for the description of the web site then I can ask permission maybe to use it, but please tell me what went wrong and how I can improve it. Is it possible to have it back and change it eventually with your reccomendation, if yes how?

Hi, thank you for answering but with all do respect, I really do not agree or at least do not understand your judgment. I understand that editing is difficult as many things must be published daily on wikipedia. However I think that comments must be constructive and a discussion with me before deleting it would have been much better. You deleted the article so you cannot tell me where I so clearly copied a sentence from another site (can you tell me at least which one? which part that I wrote was apparently copied?). If, as I think you do,refer to copying sentences from the Aquaknow website (which I do not think I did, but it is possible as I took inspiration from their website description and other published articles to explain what it is here on wikipedia) an entry which contains a few copied phrases from individual websites or other sources is not considered copyright violation. But, If I did as you say copied whole entire sentences and paragraphs, although I doubt it but if I did im sorry, can you guide me in asking the aquaknow website for permission to import their text maybe? Or at least give me back my article and I will change it, put it in the sandbox or something until it is fine, if you tell me where I "text lifted verbatim" and from where.
Thank you (Giorgina88 (talk) 15:35, 27 September 2011 (UTC))
Please excuse my being less-than-expert at Wikipedia and Technorati. I see I managed to get my book deleted thereby. But since you still have Robert Johnson and Robert Bly's books on the 'Shadow' page -- who each gave the book glowing recommendations, as did James Hollis, Katie Sanford, and Robert Tompkins -- it doesn't make a lot of sense to delete it. Gaining a better understanding of how the human shadow operates within each one of us is absolutely vital to the survival of the human race. That's all I'm trying to do: promote a better understanding of the human shadow. For confirmation of that, blurbs from experts, and further information about me and my book, please visit www.shadowintheusa.com, or email me at worldviewpress@gmail.com. I'd be happy to work with you to get articles onto Wikipedia which would help promote a better understanding of the human shadow. KP Kay Plumb (talk) 00:49, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
I strongly contest the deletion of the page for Left Right Think Tank - it is a prominent and productive organisation in Australia public policy and youth affairs, having submitted reports to Federal Parliament, sent a delegate to Tax Forum, been profiled by various newspapers, been supported by major figures in Australian public affairs, from the Minister for Youth to various MPs.

Mike, I welcome your help. I am confused that my article on General George would be marked for deletion. As a template I used the wiki page on Lt Gen Robert Elder. Gen Elder's page has been in place for some time and is principally drawn from his US Air Force official biography as is the case with General George's. Gen George's bio, as that of Gen Elder or any other military officer is not copyrighted material and therefore should be permissible. In a quick search I located numerous other wiki pages in which military bios had been used in the same fashion.
Further, prior to starting this wiki, I contacted Gen George and he gave me his full blessing.
How can we best resolve this so that my initial page stays in place and can be improved upon.

Hi Mr Wazowski, I appreciate your advice yesterday on how I can change the article on Michael Gordin Shore to fit the requirements of Wikipedia, and I believe I have made the adjustments you requested. I've shortened it from 15 pages down to 3 short paragraphs which are written, i believe, in objective language that is entirely fact based and verifiable.
At your suggestion, I've eliminated any reference to Mr Shore's acting system other than to state that it exists and that he created it, and that sentence can be eliminated if you tell me it has to go. I've used no descriptors besides quotes from newspapers, and I am happy to send you the .pdf's of those newspapers, which are from before the internet existed. The one article that is recent enough that it actually is easy to find online, I added to the list of external links, so although you did not find a result when you googled "one of canada's most appreciated acting teachers" or "An audition Coach Par Excelence" with Michael Gordin Shore, I've remedied that by attaching the link to the newspaper's archives so that the article can be read and verified by anyone. Although the Canadian Jewish News is not The New York Times, and yes it is an ethnic paper, it is distributed across Canada, and is a National newspaper. The Suburban, although it is a community newspaper, is according to Wikipedia, the largest english language weekly newspaper in Quebec, which is a very large province, almost half the size of the USA.
Also, although Mr Shore is not extremely famous, a close look at his IMDB page will verify that in two of his credits, Last Day and Blindspot, Mr Shore was the lead actor of the movie. Also, in a third credit, although his Time of your Life credit is listed as only being in the pilot, Michael was one of the regular characters on the show and is listed on their IMDB site as one of the leads of the series. If you click the Time of your Life link on Mr Shore's IMDB page you can verify that.
If the objection to this article is the first paragraph which includes the quotes, it can be removed completely without deleting the entire article. My hope and intention is not to hawk anything, it is merely to provide information on a public figure who may not be huge, but is clearly in the public eye.
For comparison please look at the wiki page for Conrad Pla. Mr Pla has also had a regular part in a canadian series and a number of other mid sized credits, but he does not have a single lead role on his resume, and Mr Shore has many. Here is Mr Pla's page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_Pla
Please do not delete the Michael Gordin Shore page outright. If I've provided you with enough reason to leave it the way it is then thank you very much, if you tell me i have to take out the first paragraph completely to make it acceptable then i'll do so.

Dear Mr. Mike Wazowski, I do find it quite sensational that our project on the Multilingual Ibsen (http://www2.hf.uio.no/polyglotta/index.php?page=library&bid=10) has been styled spam by you, and by whom I might not know, working to stop such internet resources as ours.
This is to say that I, as a professor at Oslo University, The Department of Cultural Studies and Oriental languages, lead a project funded by the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Ibsen Centre at Oslo University, to produce a Multilingual Ibsen reading, searching and documenting internet page, where you can now find all Ibsen’s Plays in Norwegian and quite a number of other languages in a multilingual environment, line by line and in a synoptic format.
The page is not yet complete, with all languages intended, but if you would care to have a look at the page, you can see which languages are extant. I of course also would be pleased if this would start off your interest in Ibsen, but I cannot but expect the Wikipedia (which I like very much) to take our links in, and also to accept our attempts to document our activities on the Wikipedia. Why you call it spam is absolutely beyond my episthemic abilities to understand.
Fredrik Liland is my assistent in this work, and has done most of the inputs, and is a really honest and hardworking person.
Seriously wondering, and puzzeled by the Wkipedia policies, Jens Braarvig, Professor, Dr. Philos., Member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, Director of the Norwegian Institute of Palaeography and Historical Philology.
PS.: If you doubt my credentials, do contact Oslo University to autheticate. Some would call your actions an insult to people doing their best and using their free time to make resources of high quality and open access on the net. I would be very happy to have your reply on this, my e-mail address is j.e.braarvig@ikos.uio.no, and please also send a copy to Fredrik Liland fredrikliland@gmail.com.
That you now also try to block us from putting links on our own page is outrageous!! Where is there justice in the world? I have so much believed in the Wiki idea, but after this I am just flabbergasted. I have to stop now, endangering myself for using to strong language. But please explain to me what is going on.
I cannot see that there is any self-promotion of anybody in this case, the Multilingual Ibsen, (and the BP) is a collective work with a number of participants not only in Norway but also internationally. It is a promotion of Ibsen’s work, if anything like that, and it is definitely an activity supported by many here at the University of Oslo. It is quite natural to connect it to the Wikipedia, since it is a very easy way to connect with Ibsen (and some other multilingual) resources on the net. It is also a promotion of all people and researchers interested in the material on the page, and to say that it is a promotion of ourselves is wrong. The BP is linked also elsewhere on pages with similar activities, as http://echo.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/content/polyglotta and http://www.buddhism-dict.net/ddb/ under the name Thesaurus Literaturae Buddhicae. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.212.127.227 (talk) 07:26, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Your rapid deletion of this brief and carefully worded description is disappointing. The two dominant civic parties in Vancouver each have far more extensive, and possibly more dubious, entries in Wikipedia. Vision Vancouver cites only its own promo site. NPA cites only one masters thesis. There is also an entry for Coalition of Progressive Electors (which is running *fewer* candidates in the 2011 municipal election than NSV is) with 3 weak references. NSV linked to its official site rather than producing it as a "reference." Was that the only problem? If NSV needs citations, many recent news articles can be given as links. For example, <http://www.straight.com/article-492391/vancouver/watchdog-runs-mayor>.
Normal encyclopedias have a consistency of entries and provide a level field of information. You should either allow NSV an entry, or delete Vancouver's other civic parties (more than just those big three, by the ay) – and then vigilantly keep them out?
So: What do I do now after having invested a lot of scarce time in learning your basic protocol and writing the entry, and then seen my effort lost without a sufficient period of notice to do anything about it? Should I have to acquire an advanced competence in Wikipediology to make a simple contribution?

It is incorrect that readers searching the internet for High Touch or High Touch Jin Shin should be redirected to Jin Shin Do, which is not the same thing.

I tried to add a company addition for Russell Reynolds Associates but it was deleted at 19:59, 31 October 2011 Toddst1 (talk | contribs) deleted "Russell Reynolds Associates" (A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)
The article clearly indicated its importance by stating it is a top 5 global executive search firm. The description was a shorter version of another global top 5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidrick_%26_Struggles. Please re-post the page or give me specifics as to what it is missing.

You had recently deleted the Nate Doss article I was working on. I was working on it and hit the Save Page button by mistake instead of the Preview Page button. I assure you that I had a lot more information to put on the article. Not only is Nate Doss the top disc golfer in the world right now, but he has won more world's titles than anyone else save Ken Climo. I addition to winning three world championships, he has won nearly every other prestigious tournament on earth. The story of Nate Doss is inspiring to many young people. Is there any chance this action could be reversed?
Thanks, Jaywm Jaywm (talk) 03:48, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Hey Mike, I assume you tagged for Inspirato deletion this due to notability concerns. I have submitted a contested deletion [[6]] just so you know.
If you have suggestions to enhance notability (or decrease promotional language) within the article that would be of great. I am familiar with the notablilty guidelines, and I believe Inspirato should be reconsidered due to it's size, # of locations, partnerships (especially w/ several Wikipedia 'notable' organizations).

Hi Mike! I've run across you a few times in the AfD area and I know that you're pretty active on here in general. I just wanted to let you know about something that's going on with one of the AfD articles. There's a professor on Wikipedia (User:ToniSant) who is telling his students to create Wikipedia pages for a project as well as to add on to various pages. I've noticed that you've had to revert a few of the pages, so I thought I'd let you know what is going on with all of this. I know that there's nothing against the rules as far as professors assigning students page creation for a student project, but this professor is having his students recreate pages that were deleted in prior semesters. (The pages were made by prior students and deleted in the AfD process.) I'm not trying to form an attack, I just wanted to get a few admins to look at this and see if I'm just being overly sensitive (ie, overreacting) or if this is something that you need to get involved with. I did leave a message for the professor stating that this might not be the most beneficial way to do this and leaving suggestions for other ways to do similar things (such as starting their own Wikia site or going through AfC) and they haven't had a chance yet to say anything in return, but I just wanted to drop a note to an admin and let them know what is going on. There's nothing against making pages for grades in Wikipedia rules per se, but it's something that I just feel isn't really all that right. I noticed all of this after a page was put up for AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Performance (2nd nomination)) and one of the students commented that it was done for a student project per her professor.

Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Pictures Of Lily (2011 film) to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question - your tag was quite correct, it was indeed a copyvio, but the author rewrote it enough to avoid that. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:34, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, you may have a good point. Somebody put the book in, but in the wrong place so I just moved it. I have no idea if its any good or not. I suppose assuming it really does have an interview from De Carlo's son it'd be useful, unless its false or sensationalist.
I don't have a strong feeling about not including material just because it's been spammed. If you want to remove the book from the article for that reason or any other it'd be OK with me. Herostratus (talk) 22:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I agree that there has been a duplication, as I was unaware of it being a problem. Thus, I propose to keep the page Hemang Dixit intact and delete the page Mani Dixit.
I would like to inform that I come from Nepal where I am a busy person in my real life ( I believe all of you are as well). I however do not have a dedicated internet connection, like majority of Nepalese population, thus when I added Shatru of Kathmandu, I meant to just add basic information first and add more information later. As wikipedia is used all around the world, I believe this publication which just came out in the market should receive its place here. Not only is this novel written by a local author who has written several novels, but also is very relevant to the current day scenario of Nepal which is plagued by criminals. The author himself have been shot in the past. You can find more information about it from following links: <http://www.peoplesreview.com.np/2006/040506/update.html> and <http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=From+bus+helper+to+extortionist++&NewsID=269360>
Please do note that it is very daring for anyone to write such a novel in a country like Nepal as well.
Finally, I request you to note that I may not be able to promptly reply to you. I will however try to reply your queries.

I'm the original writer. Regarding your tag on this article, the references below are not primary sources but are instead respected authorities. However, if you'll compare to the first two entries, the article has been completely replaced by what may be original research.
Dees, Pamela Youngdahl (2004). A Guide to Piano Music by Women Composers: Women born after 1900. Sadie, Julie Anne; Samuel, Rhian (1994). The Norton/Grove dictionary of women composers.
I notice the phrase "Her commitment to composition was made early, firmly, passionately, and never withdrawn" appears in several online sources and is apparently plagiarized. Perhaps other elements of the current article should also be checked for originality. Do you have any suggestions as to how to control the material being added?

Hi Mike - On November 7th I wrote a very extensive question to you regarding edits and changes you made to Rochelle Huppin's wikipedia page. I explained reasons for the validity of the page as well as asked you for input, in the spirit of continuing discussion. I visited your talk page for a few days after and although you were active on your talk page, answering others, you did not answer or acknowledge my post to your page. I visited your page again and I cannot find my post anywhere. I have combed through your entire 2011 archive. Is it possible you deleted my question to you, my bolstering of the validity of the page (which you have given 5 separate negative demarcations) and my request for further exploration? Please advise as I find this very distressing and am incredibly frustrated at the run around. Thank you very much.

I agree with you that the article You were never here is far too premature and fails WP:NFF.

Hi there,
I just posted some new info on the Return of the Jedi page, which was removed by you, stating, "very minor character with no lines." Well, please read Gerald Home's website (hisnamedotcom) and you'll learn otherwise. Also check out his Wikipedia page and the links to 3 excellent interviews at the bottom of the page, where you'll find lots more info and photos. You'll also see he had dialogue that wasn't used in the film. Also, size of part, and whether or not the character has lines, is not and should not determine whether a character can be listed on this page. Jeremy Bulloch is listed for Boba Fett, quite rightly, but Gerald Home has more on screen time than him, and is in the film's credits (as a Mime Artist, near the end of the credits) - so it's entirely correct that his characters should be included here. I'll await your reply before re-posting my info in the ROTJ section.

Hi Mike,
Yesterday you helped me change the wordings of my posting about Miadore.com so the entry would be in line with Wiki's guidelines, for which my big thanks.
However, this extremely rude guy by the name of Barek (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Barek) thought it would be fun to delete the whole entry. I cant believe it! Is there any way you can get the page back?
Or can I email you with my original text for you to modify it again, before I post it? (I know, so sorry and embarassed to ask you).
I really can't believe this guy just deleted it without any explination and especially after you had rewritten some sections to make it in line with Wiki's guidelines. Really feel sad about this guy's actions :-(
Thank you

Also a bit confused that you helped me out editing it, which I still appreciate a lot, instead of deleting it like Barek, while you now say it wasn't worth it :-(
Hope somebody else will create this entry and it will not be deleted. It's more special than so many other things you can find on Wiki.

One of the tasks that I have given to my team is to search various search engines to understand who and how we go about advising of the changes. Upon coming across old/outdated/and not approved images of our projects that are being populated on Wikipedia site, it was my instructions to the team to see how we go about changing them. WE are not changing text, however changing approved images. Do you really have that much time on your hands to be policing the site, 11 time to be exact for editing image/ or deleting. I'm not a big user of this site, but there has to be some legality to wrongful publications of images or content which I like to pursue.

You seem to want to delete and undo things very quickly. There is no way you have considered the material. Please take some time to compare the links and where they are posted and you will see that they are all interconnected and relevant. That's all I ask.

-All I have had any time to do is chase you around as you chase me. How does anything ever get posted (or updated to make it current and more relevant - as i was only attempting to do) on Wikipedia with folks like you deleting items before they are even really completed or fully referenced properly? It doesn't make any sense and is not working in the spirit of sharing information freely and openly.
Again, I ask - how does a highly relevant historical reference to a book that isn't even available for sale any longer constitute book spam?
For the record, I was only copying material that already existed on Wikipedia. Again, if you would take the time to read before simply deleting items, you could investigate that.
I am not trying to start a war - far from it - but I am also not trying to spam anyone. I am only trying to update information and you are making that completely impossible.

I wanted to know why the changes I submitted are deleted and why they are considered promotional material? How does one go about to mention Megamind's fans without it getting deleted from the Wikipedia page? Many other Wikipedia pages have been written referencing fans and their activities, so it is not unheard of. How should we word it differently so that it meets Wikipedia's standards? Here is the latest update I made, with citations. Of course, many of the citations are to fan sites and communites, but how is that considered promotional? Would it be better to write the same information down, but without the citations? Please help clarify what we need to change instead of just deleting it without asking first. Thank you.
This is the latest version I made of the new "Legacy" section I was trying to add to Wikipedia. Should it just be under the reception page instead? I could understand that and would put it under Reception.

Hey Mike, I recognize your truly a busy guy and not to waste anymore of your time here but I have to honestly say that I don't rightly understand why this particular page doesn't establish notability. And not to sound overly rude here but, if the page is going to continually be deleted, flagged, monitored, and tagged by you indefinitely, I would appreciate an answer that explains how a person who dresses up as a giant beer can (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keggy_the_keg) can have a sustainable page but this other artist/mascot/performer at Dartmouth can not? I don't understand. More specifically, how is this not notable: http://www.vnews.com/webextras/webextras-sungod.html?? Again I don't mean to sound rude in anyway, it's just that I worked hard and spent many hours trying to re-create this page again from scratch and now you deleted it again without much consideration to the fact that 80% of it's former self has been removed.

Hello, I noticed that Zeronoize was flagged for CSD and deleted before I even noticed. The reason for the flagging was that the "article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant." That is in fact true that the article did not contain any information about why it was important but the only reason for that was because of the nature of the article, I was afraid it would be flagged for advertising if I had included information on why it is important/significant. I'm not sure how to go about requesting that the article be undeleted so that I can include some of that information; however, I find it almost pretentious that you have the authority to declare what is important or not when the page was not even completed yet.

How is it that 8x8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8x8 can have the same style page as Momentum Telecom, yet my Momentum page is deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SoccerHoodie (talk • contribs) 17:14, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
It seems to me like you think you have a God given right to patrol Wikipedia and put any article up for deletion that you see fit. Why is this? Whats your problem? The article is notable, the cover song has 300,000 views on Youtube which for an Independent singer is notable. The artist has opened for million record sellers such as Lil Wayne and Drake and is currently on a tour and can be cited in a number of independent music sites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drewbik (talk • contribs) 21:06, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
When you put SNL episode 702, it redirects to the article "SNL season 37". However, this episode is from season 36. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teen13USA (talk • contribs) 23:34, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
Stop redirecting my articles!!!
It's Creative Commons licensed now - on the page mentioned on the talk page. I deleted it, then put it back up. I'm not sure about the notability etc, so I've left those tags up. Peridon (talk) 17:48, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
hi, the lady alexandra heron, was deleted because the first creator of that said that Alexandra was a grandaughter of both King Juan Carlos of Spain and queen elizabeth ii which is impossible, the lack of google searches on the name is because she isnt a main line blood heir to either the british or the spainsh throne and isnt photographed alot, but in spain we learn about the whole family and she is in my school text book, under Spanish Nobility and relations of King Juan Carlos I. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.56.115 (talk) 15:42, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Mike. Can you please help me to understand more clearly why the page for MVB Records was deleted? Also, I would like you to tell me what is the textual difference between the page for previous page for MVB Records and Roc-A-Fella records. This will help me to write better pages, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamrahkid (talk • contribs) 20:34, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Its a source of information. I see no difference between my page about "Urban pop culture" and "MVB Records". I also compared my "MVB Records" page to other record label pages on Wikipedia and I see no difference. As a new editor you are not helping me to become comfortable with creating articles on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamrahkid (talk • contribs) 02:34, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
Just because someone says there is a COI isn't enough of a reason to litter the page with scary tags. If you see a COI too please show me where the article is not true to the facts of Mark's life and work. In fact both tags are disruptive to the readers and should be removed. The article seem to be factually accurate and so I'm not sure why it has to be re-written. It can be improved and people from all around the world are trying to do just that. I am not a wiki contributor and as i said did not write any of the content myself but i know that it is what Mark himself seen and accepted as accurate information. I am family of Mark, i started the page; but that's about it. Now it has life of its own. Are you some kind of Wikipedia official? AriBenami (talk) 03:41, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
Dear Mike, you are turning me into a wiki... i read this about COI and it seems to me that a reasonable person will be hard pressed to demonstrate how i am trying to promote my own interest here, or that of another individual (deceased) or a group... I quote: "A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor. COI editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups. Where advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest...." AriBenami (talk) 03:45, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mike,
I posted the following on your talk page last week and am waiting for a response. Please reply.
I see that you redirected the following pages I posted. VIST Bank, VIST Insurance and VIST Virtual Bank. These pages were redirected to VIST Financial. On the surface they may seem to be duplicative efforts, but these are individual entities under the VIST Financial umbrella. The page I created for VIST Mortgage was deleted altogether when it really was not too much different than the other companies under the Category:Mortgage|Lenders. Can you please explain why these were redirected or deleted and better yet can these pages please be reverted back to a live status? If not would you suggest augmenting the VIST Financial pages with the content from the individual pages or will that be too much and create issues with the Wiki reviewers? Thank you in advance for your help. (talk)Hmanick (talk) 15:17, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Mike,
Does my page still have multiple issues? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roschier_Attorneys_Ltd.
If not, I was told the message must be removed manually.
