This close appears quite inappropriate, particularly as an NAC action. Debate had run only one week, was focused on policy issues, and required careful evaluation. Please reverse this promptly. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 23:09, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
I'm curious about your relisting of this AfD. There seems to be abundant consensus to not keep the article, even if there's a variety of opinions on what to do with it after it is not kept. It's your call, but I'm surprised you felt extending the debate would be useful. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:04, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the Halowe'en note on my talk page, same to you. Hallowe'en is not celebrated much here in Hungary, but All Saint's Day is a holiday where we pay tribute to late (i.e. dead) friends and family.
I haven't seen you around much but I've been hanging out a lot in RfD (which is a variety show to say the least) and doing lots of follow-up from that; currently I am having a bash at some railway and metro articles in and around Casablanca, which is odd as I have never been there and even Ingrid Bergman took a plane. (I suppose otherwise it would have been Brief Encounter.) One of these could probably have gone to DYK but I have used my five freebies and what with gnoming everything else I haven't made it a priority to review one back yet.

Dear friend,
I was sincerely touched by the message you left on my talk page. For some strange reason that I still don't completely understand, very few editors have even acknowledged my existence unless they think I have done something wrong. After thousands of edits, I really have expected more interaction with other editors but perhaps that will improve in the near future. It's nice to know that someone like you has taken the time to leave me a message.

Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello
I notice you'd edited an AfD I'd posted, so I thought maybe you could advise me on a deletion-related matter.
I was interested in reading or writing an article about the documentary series "Heart of the Dragon" from 1985. The IMDb page on it says we have an article on it (or had), but a search only turns up “Heart of Dragon”, a 1985 action film. That page's That page's edit history shows as its first edit (in September 2006) a redirect to HotD, which suggests someone moved the article that was there before, in order to write the film page.
OTOH the title is now a redlink, and create page doesn't say it was deleted; nor do we have an AfD discussion for that title.
Do you know if there is any other way of checking if we ever had an article on this? And if so, can we get it back? Moonraker12 (talk) 11:22, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
Leaving a message here to avoid getting too off-track at the AfD (and to avoid the discussion having direct bearing on the new AfD):
I'm just curious about the close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arina Avram.
I won't contest she seems to be lacking in sources in any case, though we are trying to look in English.). Just seems like minor support for delete with no support for keep, meaning it should probably be relisted or closed as delete to my mind.
Thanks --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:34, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

When I had written this I came to think about all your fantastic lists. Do you think that it could fit into one of those? There are plenty of references on the subject, so if you want a small article to go with it I could easily make one. The post is written somewhat humorous, but it is very close to the truth. Cheers, w.carter-Talk 15:10, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
Hello Northamerica1000. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using ((db-g12|url=URL of source)). If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with ((subst:copyvio|url=URL of source)).
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).
