Northamerica1000, just so you know: TaylorMoore2 was Plz's original account name, before it was renamed to Plz on January 9, two days prior to its block. While renaming changes the entire editing history to reflect the new name, places where the name is hardcoded, such as in a DYK nomination, don't change. So it's possible for the "created by" credit (and DYKmake, for that matter) to reflect the old name while the article history shows the new name. TaylorMoore2 actually did edit the article.
In this case, since Plz has been blocked for sockpuppeting, I do support your closure of DLOW. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
I noticed your post regarding this FP on Haffy's talk.
I asked Hafs about the sign, and he sent the explanation at left:
(The unit of area probably should be translated as rood, not rod.)
I don't see how this could be interpreted as "a warning to society at that time." Sca (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:
Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.
During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.
We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:
The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.
This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.
Until next time,
The following pages will become eligible for CSD:G13 shortly.

Sorry I initiated the wrong procedure on them. I can go ahead and close them all as speedy keep, and save you the trouble.
Hello,
I would like to draw your attention to this wikipedia article Frederick Achom, at first look it looks like a good article, but it hides most of the real information. If you see article's history you will see that it has been under several editing wars. Almost all claims made in the article are supported in the article are made using own links or PR releases. Also the links which seem genuine like London's 1000 most influential people 2010: Night OwlsLondon's 1000 most influential people 2011: Night Owls have many things wrong in them- they claim to be 1000 but not more than 6 are present; they have no author. They are off the website but somehow have crept into the website. There are many such cases in this wiki article.
Frederick Achom is using his wiki article to show potential investors how great he is by supplying all false information and duping them of money. He has been previously convicted and jailed which was earlier in the article but now has somehow disappeared. [5] [6]
I hope you will understand the gravity of the situation and help in rectifying by either getting the page deleted or corrected.
Thank You. NihartouJason (talk) 04:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

I noticed you spent some substantial time doing cleanup and anchoring the pagespace with citation and links. Perhaps if I'd followed through in a similar way after the first AFD the page wouldn't have faced a second process. Your pagework after the close makes it quite unlikely the pagespace will ever find itself nominated for a third deletion procedure. Thanks again. I appreciate your efforts and very much enjoy your collegiality. BusterD (talk) 12:47, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
According to Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Instructions I should ask you about this first. July 13 at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mike_Cernovich you chose a 'delete' result. The first 5 people talking there focused on Cernovich's involvement with Gamergate being the only notable thing about him.
While that may have been the case at the time (not to say it was, just that I don't know enough about him to say otherwise) some recent events may have changed this situation.
During September 2015, Cernovich became embroiled in a Twitter war with celebrity Seth Rogan, as seen here. Apparently Rogan's wife Lauren Miller got involved (as seen in this archive), which led to October and November articles from Cernovich, and coverage by the Return of Kings news site also in November.
Since this is a separate incident involving him with 2 celebrities I am wondering if it would qualify the article to exist now as it has increased his notability. Ranze (talk) 05:11, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

I got into a catch 22, while creating the wikipage for House of Knowledge International School I got a notice that the article was a stub and lead missing tags, so the content from that website was added. References and more relevant information was going to be added in the coming days but the article has been deleted without the time to update the information.
The information that will be put there will be relevant as other content found in the following categories https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Education_in_Beijing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Private_schools_in_Beijing
The content provided there will help the international community looking on education alternative for international schools following the standard use int the following existing articles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_School_of_Beijing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_International_School_of_Beijing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulwich_College_Beijing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daystar_Academy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etonkids_Bilingual_Kindergarten https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beijing_Huijia_Private_School https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peili_Vocational_Institute
I would like if you can help us recover the last deleted page so we can continue to create the information that will be useful for the community that is living behind a Chinese firewall and uses Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avaldesm (talk • contribs) 01:52, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
