I'm contemplating a run at RfA, and since our paths have crossed more than a couple of times, I would invite your input. If you don't feel comfortable with this, or don't have the time, no offense will be taken. Dennis Brown (talk) (contrib) 16:58, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi, the log for /Perry_Stone page says you deleted it.
I was wondering if you could please access the deleted copy and email it to me? I did not have a local copy unfortunately and it took me at least an hour to compile that information.
I'd really appreciate your help. I'm new to wikipedia so I'm not sure how this messaging works. If possible you could email — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zarn700 (talk • contribs) 12:33, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
You wrote "Wikipedia's naming style does not want the capital on "dynasty". Are you sure that you follow this rule? Then you should rename these articles as well: Taungoo Dynasty, Konbaung Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Chakri Dynasty, and many more. Otherwise, your words don't make sense. ༆ (talk) 00:33, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, My page on Allegiance Accounting was deleted (A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) the importance for writing the article was that the firm is nominated for the 2012 Telstra Business Awards and StartupSmart 2012 Awards. --Hasnain (talk) 07:53, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Dear James,
I was hoping that you would unblock the ability to create a Wikipedia page for The Genii Group. Efforts before had been blocked for G11 and A7. I believe that now The Genii Group has been up and running for 6 months and have purchased the Lotus F1 Team, there is sufficient reason to unblock this page. There are many third party sources which are reporting on the international business activities that The Genii Group are involved in. They are Luxembourg's biggest conglomerate and should have a presence on Wikipedia.
Best regards,

The following message appears on the top of the page for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luo_Zilin
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. Please help to improve this article by introducing more precise citations. (December 2011)
However, there are 8 references, 2 external links, and more than 30 inline citations.
This is a basic entry, but much more detailed than most other Beauty Contestant entries. I am hoping to have the above comment deleted. I would greatly appreciate if you can advise me how to do.

Thanks for considering this CSD request. I thought it was pretty clearly spam as the the user name of the editor that created the article matches the name of the person who created the product described in the article, it has no refs and is very promotional in tone. Since he has been adding red links to the article in the past few weeks, I have been watching for him to create the actual article to match. I note that you have PRODed it. If the article creator removes the PROD tag I will send it to AfD. - Ahunt (talk) 13:05, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Why was the article Asia Food Recipe deleted? I left plenty of information on the talk page that shows its notability. Can you please shed some light for me? --Morning277 (talk) 13:07, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Sockpuppetry block on User:Schrodinger's cat is alive. Thank you. ˜danjel [ talk | contribs ] 15:17, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Now I am upset as it seems that you are going through anything that I have ever created or edited and placing your own opinion regarding the notability. I would ask that you put the TravelFox article back where it was and tag it, but not delete it. I understand that you may not agree with the notability, but that is your opinion, not mine. I do not have an issue with you, I just think that our opinions on notability vary and that others should decide it. Please stop deleting my content as it is not right to retaliate because I disagree with your opinion on Asia Food Recipe. --Morning277 (talk) 17:24, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Just a passing observation based on this diff from July at Shivgopal Krishna. Your summary was "moved Shivgopal to S.Shivgopal Krishna: Move back. No evident reason for moving to less specific name." I'd note that single names are much more frequent in the Indian media than they are in the West (although they're becoming a bit more common with the likes of Rihanna and Adele). So there's a good chance that "less specific name" is in fact the WP:COMMONNAME, although obviously no evidence was provided to support that suspicion. I suspect in this case it's pretty marginal, there's a lingering smell of tenuous notability and COI about the whole article.... FlagSteward (talk) 12:19, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
A couple of days ago, you deleted the article BHP House as "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://vhd.heritage.vic.gov.au/vhd/heritagevic#detail_places;4690" (after Elekhh had tagged it with a CSD tag). I can't see what the article looked like then, but it has been re-created and, G11 aside, is still a tissue of copyvios. The "Historic Significance" section, for instance, is still copied from the Web page cited in your deletion rationale; the entire "Construction" section is a verbatim lift from the cited source, Goad's Melbourne Architecture; and I suspect that most of the material cited to Architecture in Australia magazine is also copied verbatim. Would you please review the situation and determine whether the re-creation needs to be deleted? Deor (talk) 12:35, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

About the Tranquillo family tree posting: I don't belong to the Tranquillo Family, therefore I was not storing my own family's genealogical information when I posted the Tranquillo family tree, and quite frankly, even tough I understand the reason of the speedy deletion, I find the tone of your comment: "but if what you wish to do is store your own family's genealogical information, then you would be better off using a social networking site", surprisingly unprofessional coming from a Wiki Administrator. The genealogy that I was posting it is part of a much bigger research on the noble families of the "Regno delle due Sicilie" and I was sharing it with the people of south of Italy and a group of Historians and that are writing about this not well known part of the history of southern Italy. Honestly I'm not surprised that the matter is not well understood in the on the en.wiki The deletion of the speedy deletion notices was accidental, I didn't know what those strings were and I thougt tha was a copy and paste mistake, sorry about that and thanks for let me notice my mistake.

I understand the point and the value of Wikipedia and that is the way I spending time posting the results of my research, I realized that posting the genealogy by itself without the whole article it was a mistake because it makes hard to understand the meaning of it, but I'm a beginner on Wiki and I'm learning from my mistakes.

Sir,
Disappointed is how I feel right now, before I have even the chance to complete the page and make it 'reference' and not 'promotion' it has been deleted.
To creative professionals around the world, the Artists Bill of Rights Campaigns have prevented Copyright abuse, changed legislation (The Stop43 Campaign led to changes to the UK Digital Economy Bill) and I was in the process of editing the content I copied from the website to Wikipedia to ensure it would be an 'encyclopaedic' entry and would not a promotional entry.
The information would have given the details of why and when it started, how it has changed legislation, the organisations around the world that support it, the campaigns that changed the mindset of many Corporate Entities etc.
It is not a 'person', it is not a 'company', it is a fluid Organisation of like minded professionals that have been in the Creative Industries for years that get together to campaign for peoples rights... such as the rights of Wikipedia when Governments make silly proposals to change Copyright Law.
There were NO copright issues on the website, all the content would have been verifiable by links and external reference sources.

Hi JamesBWatson. I noticed that you seemed to be online and wanted to ask your advice. I've just encountered User:Talebs168, whose entire edit history consists of many hundreds of edits to their own talkpage - in Finnish, and devoted (as far as I can tell, my Finnish isn't great...) to discussing films and meetups with their friends. I've placed {{uw-socialnetwork}} and {{uw-english}} messages on their talkpage, to no effect (I'm not sure if the messages have been ignored or misunderstood). It's also possible that this account has multiple users; a few sentences suggest that both sides of the conversation are being carried out by the same editor.
My question is: do we have a venue in which to report this? It's not technically vandalism or spam, so I've refrained from visiting AIV, and it doesn't seem severe enough to report to ANI... any suggestions? (help from stalkers welcome too!) Yunshui 雲水 11:03, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the CSD, that was very very speedy deletion! - Ahunt (talk) 12:00, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello JamesBWatson. I'm writing this to ask for your assistance with the deletion of the above mentioned article. An AFD was in progress on this work at the time you deleted it, under G7, presumably because it had been blanked. However, I'm querying because if it was blanked, removing the AFD template from the article counts as vandalism I believe - in which case, it should have been reverted and the AFD allowed to continue. Would you mind taking a look at the article history please, and seeing your way clear to undeleting the article, reverting the vandalism back to the AFD template being on the page, and allowing the discussion (which was leaning to Keep or Userfy) to continue please? The AFD was here. Thank you. MarkBurberry32|talk 12:16, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi - just a quick note that I've also added that website to the spamblacklist so they shouldn't be bothering us in the future. It also seems like this editor has been spamming over 3+ different IPs over those three months, and it appears that this spammer only got assigned that dynamic IP recently (Apr 17).

Hi I am new to this but i have a great capacity to make a useful and intelligent contribution to wikipedia being an active researcher myself. I must say im alarmed at the speedy deletion mainly becuase of the absence of a right to be heard in ones own defence but thats the lawyer in me. The discussion was closed before i could respond to the various comments. i appreciated the comments related to the content of the article, i thought these were constructive. The speedy deletion seesm to have ended all discussion prematurely. I can accept the deletion and i can come back with a well referenced article on non violent direct action in australia, but id be disinclined to put a lot of work into a longer piece when the editing (deleting!) process seems so arbitrary.
I also need to question what is promotional and what is referencing and providing available opportunities for readers to locate the source.
I take it that your objection was to my references having hyperlinks in them that led back to in one case a site where the book cited could be purchased. Can you answer me that if this hyperlinking were not present, would it have not been deemed promotional?/ in the case of another reference it hyperlinked to a university site where the artcile mentioned could be downloaded for free, is this also unacceptable? (id had thought it would be good practice to offer that to readers) is it also not acceptable to hyperlink to the website of an organisation that is mentioned?
My other concern is that due to the speedy deletion i was unable to let the discussion page know that in fact i have a vast library of references that i could use to support my claim that NEFA has in fact been one of the most sucessful and prominent proponents of NVDA, it was not just a glib claim.
I see that it was mistake to give it a separate title when it was so small and i have leant from that
To illustrate my intellectual bona fides on this topic (NVDA) please see the post i left on the now defunct deltion discussion page below: .
Ok i may be new to writing for wikipedia but im not new to writing or to the subject of non violent direct action in Australia. Judging by the very small entry on NVDA in the UK above it i had considered it made sense to make a start about Australia, which may invite others to add and edit. My contribution is small because i wanted to provide a referenced contribution not simply let fly with a long historic summary of NVDA in Australia including the promiinent role of NEFA. I agree that its important to set an historical context from terrania Ck, through Franklin and daintree to NEFA and beyond (still wild still threatened and anti-csg lock the gate) and i can in time do this. But i can also support my statement that NEFA have been one of the most successful proponents of NVDA, but as i said it will take some time to develop it in a properly referenced format. But the idea that the article is about soem small or insignificant aspect of NVDA in Australia only revelas the ignorance that underlies the need for an article on this topic, to illustrate my point: A short literature review of published sources that discuss NEFA includes the following published sources. In partiualr the Gleeson and Bonyhady books discuss the very close links between the downfall of the greiner led government in NSW and NEFA's old growth forest campaign against that government.

If the consensus is that the initial entry on NVDA in Australia has to go because its too short well that is as it may be.

I saw that there was activity on the Wheelock College talk page (Wheelock is on my agenda for a complete over haul so that it conforms to university/college standards) and it directed me to the speedy deletion of the Wheelock Family Theatre. I am writing to let you know that I am hoping to do this by June and had already planned on having a section about the Wheelock Family Theatre. I believe the it is well known enough to warrant its own page but I am not willing/able to put in the proper research to do it myself, so I think that a re-direct to the section in the Wheelock College page would be a good solution.

Without knowing your actual name as we see that your name is not actually James Watson it is difficult to address you correctly. Please therefore accept this as Dear Sir/Madam
On the 25th April 2012 you have deleted the entry against our company name. We have been noted on Wikipedia for many years and are not attempting to spam or overly promote our company, simply we had an entry which was quite matter of fact. We have not named our company in this post but looking at your history of actions you should be easily able to identify who we are.
The majority of our competitors have entries on Wikipedia so it seems odd that those entries remain and yet ours has been deleted.
We would therefore request that you reinstate our entry and perhaps at least provide some background as to why it was deleted in the first instance.
Look forward to seeing everything back to normal.
All the best — Preceding unsigned comment added by Energypricing123 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Sir/Madam
In my earlier post I referred to the fact that you deleted the entry on the 25th April 2012. This is what the log of deleted items suggests and it appeared that this was your only deletion on that day. In any event our company name is Energylinx and I did not include that earlier due to the fact that our request to re-insert was in no way a desire to promote our company in any way. As a business you would be able to find considerable coverage both press and online. We are also noted on many other Wikipedia pages due to the unique services we provide to the European energy industry.
Reading the Wikipedia guidelines, it would appear that we do actually conform with the standards set and the writer of the article on our company together with the previous editors of the article did so with knowledge of our very notable position in the UK energy industry where we provide very unique services plus our customer facing platforms which offer various services to the consumer.
Whilst from a marketing viewpoint we have stood back from attempting to publicise ourselves using the likes of Wikipedia it does appear that we are being penalised by this immediate deletion without any reference to us.
We do very request that you consider our request to have the article reinstated and if you wish we can then entirely update this, with your direct guidance and input if you are in position to provide both an expert view on our industry in terms of what constitutes notable together with the guidelines from Wikipedia itself.
I am happy to provide a direct line of communication separate to this public board if you wish?

So if I understand this correctly where an article was written by someone with no connection to me many years ago and has subsequently been editing by a few people and when all that was said was factual, then simply because I query the fact that this factual non promotional item which does relate to a company I work for it is then treated as promotional in nature and as a result deleted with no right of appeal. That somewhere does not appear to be very fair especially when looking at Wikipedia all the competitors to that organisation have entries and yet they are providing much less services to the industry and consumer. I could fully understand the policy if say I had written somthing to promote said organisation but in reality I was simply querying its deletion and requesting its re-inclusion?

Those that fall into this category would include: uSwitch, EnergyHelpline, UKPower, Beathatquote.com to name but a few. I would not have thought that they were promoting themselves either but they are in the same market, doing similar things. Very interested in your thoughts? Energypricing123 (talk) 23:43, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Is there a particular reason as to why just one, or was that prior to this chain, and I guess I should ask why did the article this thread start from just get deleted without reference whereas at least the one, whoever it is, appears to be forming part of a discussion - apologies in advance if I do not understand the process as I just became a member today when I noticed the article in question had been deleted. Energypricing123 (talk) 00:11, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
genuinely not - simply trying to understand processes and differences in rules. My background is regulation not promotion I have no interest in promoting anything just want to understand background, rules, fairness and etc.

Hi James, I know this was a while ago, but I was meaning to say that I really appreciated you taking the time to reply to Encarnorm (talk · contribs)'s message on my talk page back in March. I get a bit bogged down with messages about SDPatrolBot's reversions, so I was very grateful for your help in dealing with that. Thanks, Kingpin13 (talk) 21:06, 27 April 2012 (UTC) |
Hi, I would be most grateful if you could take a look at the above account, which you blocked back in December. It is ever more clear that this is a single-purpose attack account which exists solely to add negative details to the B&Q article. They never edit any other article, and the only edits which they ever make to B&Q are clearly designed to make the company look bad. They also show no real desire to engage with the article talk page, where concerns about their editing have been voiced a number of times, and *never* use edit summaries,.Rangoon11 (talk) 00:00, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
I didn't want to mess with it because I'm not an admin, but just wanted to let you know that you misspelled subst on the block notice you placed on User talk:K.slauter, which rendered it as a redlink instead of a block notice. - SudoGhost 14:41, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello JamesBWatson,
Following the block of User:Vinujadhav, you might want to investigate these users as well - User:Harshal8feb and User:Saddaadda. This article has been deleted now third time in a row, and it has been once again created/uploaded.Fanofbollywood (talk) 10:43, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello James, it's about another user this time. I am watching this guy continuously spamming various articles and every time his edits have something or the other to do with this site. In my further investigation I found that some of the articles that he has created or is creating are interconnected, which he is using as cross references. He also recently removed a deletion tag from this article.Fanofbollywood (talk) 16:57, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
To me this account seems a possible sockpuppet of User:Amanrajveer. The account was created a few minutes back and the first edit was to contest an AfD? And now he is going all guns blazing on various other articles, contesting deletions and un-deletions. Seems highly suspicious to me. Fanofbollywood (talk) 20:53, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
Just noticed the new user in the logs, via outreach. The user page seems a bit excessively large. The content isn't particularly problematic, although it appears to bump up against what wp:userpage says should be avoided, if only by the sheer volume of the text. Perhaps this isn't a problem and I wasn't ready to take it to a larger audience, but your guidance on how to deal with this situation would be appreciated.

Hi there. I noticed you deleted List of University of Nottingham Students' Union societies without specifying a reason. Since I noticed other deletions without a reason specified, I wanted to remind you that you should always fill out the "reason" field when deleting a page so that others can understand why the page in question was removed. Regards SoWhy 20:55, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
I answered on my talk page. I think that's what you requested. thanks! laura

I strongly suggest that you reconsider your unblock of User:Robert B Colton; this user has been on a rampage, which has caused him to create nearly a dozen sockpuppets and one article (General Joseph Colton) to be full-protected for a while. I am quite sure that username is not his real name but is only a play off of said full-protected article. --MuZemike 19:58, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
In any case, said article is going to remain full-protected and other restrictions in place. If he as much as farts in that general direction, I'm pulling the plug. --MuZemike 20:41, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
A user you blocked in March 2011, User:NYCSlover, has asked to be unblocked. As I am unfamiliar with the issues around him/her, you may wish to comment on their page. --RA (talk) 21:19, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for showing me what to do with redirect talk pages; I'm glad my first guess (making them redirects too) was correct :-). All the best, Miniapolis (talk) 02:40, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
I have left you a response on my talk page.
Hello James, This user named Robsinden keeps on removing inportant info for the Thomas & Friends page. Can you please block him. Because he's doing an edit warring. Bigshowandkane64 (talk) 20:48, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Please refrain from making false accusations on user talk pages, following a false report made by a reported vandal in retaliation and bad faith against the original reporter. Be advised that all biographies must adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons. Adding material accusing someone of anti-semitism, with the libelous and POV title "accusations of anti-semitism", is a violation of the BLP policy and must be removed instantly, which is also excempt from 3RR. Readding such material after a BLP violation has been pointed out is considered vandalism. This material has also been removed by administrators at the Norwegian Wikipedia and the article protected to prevent its readdition. Tertoger (talk) 15:51, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Mr. James, May i remove Tag and create my user page now? Aman Rajveer 14:48, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi JamesBWatson,
I'm new and would like to get an assist on my first article. Am I in the right place? and is there anything I can do to make the viability of my article better? It lived for a week on wikipedia and then was deleted. I've trimmed down what I thought was the weak section and would like to try again.
Thanks, (this is a great site!)

I removed that request because it just repeated the information in the later request, sans the reason for the new name. No reason to have two open unblock requests that essentially duplicate themselves. Daniel Case (talk) 15:25, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
