Good morning Selket, do you mind helping me? I'm an intern at the Los Angeles talent agency that handles many big time actors. I've been asked to add a few actors to wikipedia but you deleted my last entry? How was it not "relevant" ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by VanguardMGMT (talk • contribs) 04:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Selket, after blocking and deleting my contribution I clarified by understanding towards wikipedia and committed myself to the guidelines. After doing so, I would appreciate if you could get back to me now. Thanks for your help, Noerrmarketing (talk) 07:00, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Please review the two sources I have added to my statement which cite WMC's article in exactly the same manner that I did, as an example of alarmism from global cooling. One is peer reviewed, one is a book. Thanks, GregJackP Boomer! 12:43, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Can you take a look again please? You issued a final warning during the last ANI discussion, but he's back at it again (along with his IP 141.xx). It's getting to be very troublesome maintaining articles. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 19:37, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi - thanks for your comments on ANI/3RR. I'll take care in future to specifically warn mentioning the 3RR rule in such cases. Anyway, as per your request for updates, the IP is still at it . Its the sixth revert with no sign of understanding the processes. VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 16:51, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
I can't say you got the move at Black people and crime in the United Kingdom correct. Yes, there was a majority in favour of the move but none of them put forward compelling arguments and most of them were, in my opinion, refuted. None of them addressed the substantial number of sources which looks at this exact issue. Claims that the article title was non-neutral were unsubstantiated.

Dear Selket,
You were recently listed in the deletion log to have deleted the English page of 'EUROAVIA-The European Association of Aerospace Students', on October 6th. Although the deletion log has changed over the last two days, the aforementioned deletion took place on AfD reasons, listing you as the modifier. We would like to ask you what the main reasons were for this deletion as well as whether you have the original text of this article. Several active members have spend precious time creating this article, and although there might have been a lack of citation (as noted in the log), we would like to reinstate the page with the possible improvements you would suggest.
I'm looking forward to your answer.

Please restore the article Don Smith (songwriter) which was deleted against the consensus of this discussion. By deleting the article, you have also deleted the article's editing history, and the consensus did not support deletion. Once the article has been restored, then you might redirect the article according to the consensus, but with the article's editing history still intact. Rednevog (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
'''Don Smith''' is a songwriter who is best known for the popular song ''[[Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)]]'' co-written with [[Cyril Vetter]] <ref>http://www.billboard.com/#/song/bayou-boys/double-shot-of-my-baby-s-love/14461314</ref>. ''Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love)'' was originally recorded by [[Dick Holler|Dick Holler & the Holidays]], and later recorded by [[The Swingin' Medallions]] who released it as their second single in 1966. The song became a Top 20 hit for the group, peaking at #17 on the [[United States|U.S.]] [[Billboard Hot 100]].<ref name=amg1> [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gpfuxqe5ldfe~T51 Billboard Singles], Allmusic.com</ref>.

DMS coordinates are not like significant figures. You can't just chop the seconds off as being "too precise", because then that's a different coordinate, D M' 0". In this case, the coordinate you changed it to was utterly wrong: vs
Like, in another city and state wrong ;). Cities don't generally have an established centroid or anything that can accurately be pointed to with a single coordinate that says "this is the city!", but that's a different discussion entirely. Vertigo Acid (talk) 05:07, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Regarding the deletion of the With a Voice article, I AM a notable source. No, there are no printed works regarding With a Voice to cite, but I am a very valid source. If a person can cite a random article written by a nobody, why can a person not cite themselves? I admit, I practically AM a nobody, but I am also as valid a source as anything else you'll find. I feel absolutely insulted that you would tear something down due to it not being "relevant". Guess what? The Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg is not at all relevant, and yet that article has been here forever for some unknown reason. You are deleting an article on a band who are active, and people want to know about them, and I -thought- that Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia which can be edited by anybody, would be a very reasonable place to document a bands history. Other unknown artists such as Slow Club, Guapo, and Ninth Moon Black have Wikipedia entries that the vast majority of people more than likely will never see. Why on Earth would you delete an article with relevant information about an active artist? I admit, I'm extremely infuriated. Can I at least be graced with a copy of the article? It's not like Wikipedia can't handle one more article on a band.

I do apologize for my previous rants. However, this still does not fix any problems. You're essentially telling me to let out my aggressions by marking pointless articles so they can be deleted, too. If at all possible, I would -prefer- to speak to somebody of higher hierarchy regarding this. There is still no solution to what I see as a problem, and you have done nothing to aid me in finding one. You're simply sending me to other pages that have not answered any of my questions even remotely, and I am finding myself extremely dissatisfied. Again, I apologize for sounding unprofessional and generally being a pain, but this is important to me. Thank you for the copy. Teglement (talk) 05:25, 28 February 2011 (UTC)Teglement

With a Voice was founded in [[2010]] after the disbanding of Raftevold's original band, [[Visions Foreshadow]] and Gilbert's pop punk band [[Novice Nation]]. Although not yet signed, With a Voice has played shows with artists such as [[These Hearts]], [[Alistair Hennessey (band)|Alistair Hennessey]], and [[Your Memorial]]. They released a demo in 2010 under the name Our Escape, and are currently in the writing process for a new EP slated for Q3-Q4 [[2011]]. ==History== ===Early History (2010-2011)=== With a Voice is the product of Maurer, Gilbert, Taves, and Raftevold. In the rising of a noteworthy hardcore scene in Minnesota, the four original members decided to start writing and create a new musical project named Lexington. The first known songs known to be written by the band were Consider This a Blessing, Hiding From Your Hands, and Joshua. Eventually, they hired their first bassist, Chris Compeau. Compeau eventually left to join [[Bemidji]] [[deathcore]] band [[A Day of Plague]]. Compeau was replaced by Youssef Chamma until his made his return a few months later. After recording the Our Escape demo, Compeau left after the first show under the name With a Voice. Chamma returned briefly for one show before being replaced by Paul Olson. ==Members== ;Current members *[[Dylan Raftevold]] - [[lead vocalist|lead vocals]] (founding member) *[[Josiah Taves]] - [[lead guitar]] (founding member) *[[Michael Gilbert (guitarist)|Michael Gilbert]] - [[rhythm guitar]], vocals (founding member) *[[Paul Olson]] - [[bass guitar]] (2011-present) *[[Kord Maurer]] - [[drums]] (founding member) ;Former members *Chris Compeau - bass guitar (2010, 2011) *Youssef Chamma - bass guitar (2010, 2011) ==Discography== ;Albums *Our Escape Demo (2010) ==External links== [http://wwww.purevolume.com/withavoice PureVolume page] |

I would be delighted when the page comes back to existence. Thank you.
I would like to discuss the Uppermost page I recently created and which you subsequently deleted. You claim the artist is not notable. I respectfully disagree. He has released over 90 songs, has reached the top of the electro house charts on Beatport and Junodownload, and has been playlisted by Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren and Steve Angello. LessThan3 calls him an EDM prodigy.m (that is, not written by him) feel free to recreate the article with appropriate references. --Selket Talk 07:02, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Selket, Thank for your reply. WP:BIO defines Notable as : {The topic of an article "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1] Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular"—although not irrelevant—is secondary.}. I think, the point your are recommending is secondary according to WP:BIO definition. I may be wrong in representing the Article, but the article does not mean to concentrate on his Academic Qualifications, rather, on the scientific significance of his research. The research is not an ordinary one, but, the only article till date, to have been published and thereby received scientific acceptance, which states how "Ozone layer can be rehabilitated at the Ozone holes" and that too by an undergraduate student making him a young scientist. I think, this makes it, according to Wikipedia, "interesting and unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". Also, we can delete the Academic Qualifications if that possesses a barrier to the Article's Notability. Academic Qualifications were included to make this article more notable as the proof of a "youngness" of scientist. I think the way, this page was presented was incorrect, but, I am sure we could keep it back again, after making minor changes to it. Please provide your views to it. Jimcham17Talk

Hi,
concerning Pope Joan (band), the article read "The release achieved critical acclaim from the British music press gaining good reviews from national publications such as NME, Artrocker, Rock Sound and The Fly, alongside positive support from many prominent music blogs and fanzines." That is, in my eyes, an indication of importance and should at least earn it an AfD. Could you reconsider the deletion?

Hi. Protecting User talk:Anglo Pyramidologist is not really the appropriate way to stop the user misusing the page, I don't think, because we don't want to stop other people commenting there (we shouldn't prevent other warnings, notifications, etc).

Per this edit summary: the subpage in my userspace is something I developed as a central location to clearly indicate what consensus is on the format of the tables at pages like voiced velar fricative. If you take a close look at the introductory paragraph of this subpage, you'll find that there is a link to the archived original discussion about the formatting; there are also links at the bottom that link to discussions that amend the prescribed format. Since you've asked where the consensus is, I'm assuming that you missed this.
As I said in a previous edit summary, anyone is welcome to go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Phonetics and discuss the issue again, bringing up the merits of a change in this policy/MOS. Since I'm not interested in engaging in an edit war, I'd like to leave it to either you or User:Wareh to remove Old English yourselves.

Hello, I am concerned about the speedy deletion of Greenbrier Academy. I understand why, but I am concerned about WP:BITE in this instance. The user was someone who was new. Outside of today, they only had one previous edit on Wikipedia from last year. I see that you left a nice note on their page, but I think the nominator may have addressed the issue with a little more tact. I was prepared to help the user make it better, fwiw. I did leave a note on the nominator's page, expressing my concern as well.

Selket, could you explain the justification for what looks like a one-editor campaign against lists of people by nationality? I'm aware of no consensus against such lists, no discussion about them as a whole, and to blank or delete articles for reasons that are fixable is contrary to editing and deletion policy. So I'm confused by all of this. I think it needs to stop for a centralized discussion if there are genuine issues; your deletion and blanking rationales are the same in every instance. postdlf (talk) 14:26, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

fields. This is not a bug in infobox settlement, but a problem with what you are passing to the template. You forgot the pipes in your conversion template. For the other ones with missing coordinates, the "location map" doesn't know what to do if you don't give it any coordinates for the pin, it could display a different error, but it should still display an error. Adding four apostrophes when the "other_name" is blank was also a bug in your conversion. There was another editor cleaning up all of these by hand, and I have given him the list of the ones that you converted so he can check each one. My bot finished checking all of your edits for the obvious malformed conversions, so I don't think there is anything for you to do here. For the ones that were missing coordinates, but had coordinates in the article, my bot moved the coordinates to the infobox. For the ones with no coordinates at all, my bot flagged them, and I added the coordinates by hand. I think the take away message here is to try to run these conversions in a more supervised manner. There is an even worse one that I am cleaning up right now where a bot mangled about 10,000 football biography articles, with no obvious method for detecting the errors, and months of edits after the initial bad bot run. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:59, 25 June 2011 (UTC)Can you programme your bot to re-visit Irish settlement infoboxes to create links that are missing following the recent automated work performed by the bot?
The data label Dáil Éireann, where present, should be wikilinked so it appears as [[Dáil Éireann]] and the label Irish Grid Reference, where present, should change to [[Irish grid reference system|Irish Grid Reference]].
In short, the two data labels, Dáil Éireann and Irish Grid Reference need to become Wikilinks, the latter one piped, just as other labels in the infobox (e.g. Province, County) already are. Thank you. — O'Dea (talk) 21:36, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Selket, We'd like repost 'Choice not Chance' with our newly amended version which contains the significance of the campaign. Here it is: (please let us know if this reads ok)
Choice not Chance is a brand developed by the Health Sponsorship Council <http://www.hsc.org.nz/> ’s problem gambling programme to address gambling harm among at risk audiences and communities in New Zealand. The Health Sponsorship Council is a New Zealand government agency that uses health promotion to promote health and encourage healthy lifestyles.
Gambling-related harm is a continuing health issue in New Zealand, with significant health, social and economic implications. While gambling is a popular recreational activity and some communities benefit from funds raised from gambling, for many people and their families gambling has harmful consequences and the effects on the community are far reaching.
Through the use of social marketing campaigns, Choice not Chance aims to raise awareness and reduce the impact of gambling related harm in New Zealand. It is targeted at enabling people who are at higher risk of developing gambling problems and those affected to intervene before gambling becomes harmful.
Choice not Chance was launched on 22 June 2011 and replaced the Kiwi Lives campaign that began in 2007 and profiled real life stories of people affected by problem gambling.
Research HSC undertakes and commissions research to both inform and evaluate its problem gambling health promotion activities and campaigns. Findings based on consumer insight research and surveys are published on the HSC website <http://www.hsc.org.nz/researchpublications.html> .
