Although I !voted "keep" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mitchell Schwartz (public figure), I am thankful for your lengthy and well-reasoned closure to "delete" this article. Bearian (talk) 20:08, 31 December 2016 (UTC) |

Hello! I'm writing regarding the deletion of Mitchell Schwartz's page. It appears that I should make this appeal to you based on the edit history and the instructions for disputing deletion, before taking other steps. I am an advisor to Mitchell's campaign, and I am concerned that a non-neutral editor is going out of the way to impugn our entry when Schwartz does meet general notability guidelines. We're not heavy Wikipedia users and as this deletion was litigated over the holiday, we did not mount a defense. In addition to the issues brought up in the discussion prior to deletion, Schwartz was sought out as an advisor to Bernie Sanders' California campaign because of his stature and prominence in California political circles. In addition to the news articles cited in the original entry, Schwartz was featured in the Clinton campaign documentary "War Room" (IMDB credits), and is a regular CNN commentator, +, and +. Not only is Mitchell notable in his own right, he's one of only two candidates for Los Angeles mayor - deletion of his entry does a disservice to Wikipedia and to the people of LA. Adrielhampton

Your recent comment of Dodger67's RfA demonstrates that one can disagree eloquently but without malice and should serve as a reminder to all users that disagreeing with someone does mean you have to forget about being civil, no matter how heated an argument has become. For that, please accept this Barnstar. Regards SoWhy 13:25, 23 January 2017 (UTC) |

I believe it was better as a redirect to the program overview page, rather than listing the individual entries in the program alongside the program itself. The program overview article contains subsections and links to all other articles listed in the disambiguation, and therefore the disambiguation doesn't actually disambiguate anything and is redundant Spartan S58 (talk) 09:08, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the comment. You have added confusion by moving the St. Columba's URC, Oxford page to St. Columba's URC - to my knowledge, there are St. Columba's URCs in Cambridge, Gosport, Coventry, North Shields and possibly elsewhere. They may not have articles at the moment, but your move sets up the possibility for confusion. I hope you will agree that your change should be reverted. Sjoh0050 (talk) 10:43, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
There is a ANI here about my edits on Siouxsie related articles that may interest you. thanks for reading. Carliertwo (talk) 05:40, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
You have written that you are happy to provide assistance in editing issues. I'm having problems with the page Bank_of_Ayudhya.
The company was rebranded as "Krungsri" in 2014, and that's how it's marketed everywhere (logo, URL, ATMs etc.). The company only uses its old name behind the scenes, for legal purposes. However, one user won't accept the rebrand to "Krungsri", as is evident in recent edits. Aikclaes (talk) 16:09, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm looking for advice and suggestions on an editing dispute I've gotten into. I apologize in advance if it runs long or I do something wrong. A few days ago I attempted to add Swiss professional wrestler Claudio Castagnoli (ring name of Cesaro) into the 'Notable People 1950-today' section of the city of Lucerne, Switzerland since he was born and raised there. The next day I noticed that my edit had been reversed so I looked at the history of the article page and found that I had not been the first person to attempt to add him to the 'Notable People' section just the most recent to have my edit reversed by a single user. I read through the users edit notes to try and glean why he/she was constantly reversing these edits, "totally unknown", "irrelevant", "self-promotion?". I took to the User's talk page to ask why he/she was consistently removing this edit and to state why I believe he is notable enough to warrant placement on the page. To avoid any confusion I'll just copy & paste the conversation I had with the user.
You keep removing Claudio Castagnoli from the Notable People section and I believe this is totally unnecessary. You've once flagged the edit as "Totally Unknown" and "Irrelevant" but that is gross ignorance. Claudio Castagnoli (ring name Cesaro) is a big name in professional wrestling and is currently signed to the largest pro-wrestling promotion in the world, WWE. He is a multi time champion, Pro Wrestling Illustrated named him the 13th greatest singles wrestler of 2014, Wrestling Observer Newsletter award him the "Most Underrated Wrestler" award a record four times (2013-16), and he appears on a successful internationally broadcasted television show weekly. - Me
This might be true, but is totally irrelevant to be listed on the notable people list of Lucerne. First of all your wrestler is totally unknown not only in Lucerne but the entirety of Switzerland, secondly, wrestling is hardly known in Switzerland, if not fully ignored, and thirdly, the very tiny list is about people with an profound (cultural) impact on Lucerne. There would be literally ten of thousands other people with more relevance to Lucerne than your wrestler. Just to be born in Lucerne is simply not relevant. - The User
According to Google trends Claudio Castagnoli (under his ring name Cesaro) is on average more popular within Switzerland than every other person listed in 'Notable People 1950-today'. Also "wrestling is hardly known in Switzerland, if not fully ignored" is wrong as Zurich & Geneva are regular stops in WWE's European tours with the events drawing thousands of spectators. - Me
LOL. Hey, anonymous from Canada! You are a funny guy. Not. By any chance, are you the wrestler by himself, trying to promote yourself in wrestling desert Switzerland!? That would indeed be laughable.
Well, your wrestler seem to find the one or other click currently (12 searches a day? Wow, that's even laughable for Swiss standards). But that is not the relevant factor. And accordings to the survey by the Federal Sports Ministry (BASPO) the factsheet from 2014 lists 56 different prominent sports in Switzerland, but wrestling does not even appear on this list! Yes, you will always find a few people to watch any sport. And finally, the most important aspect: his impact on Lucerne is NIL. So please calm down, play with your toys, and let the adults do their work. - The User
While yes I am from Canada I am not Claudio Castagnoli. It was at the accusation of self promotion and the condescension of the final line that I decided to stop responding. I am looking for advice on moving forward, as of right now Claudio Castagnoli remains off the page. Thanks 50.69.36.66 (talk) 07:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Please, SilkTork, instead of filing any useless 'warnings' on my talk page, I would rather expect from a sysop that he is able to follow an argument. Please, react to my arguments on the Talk:List of people from Lucerne pages and provide any reasonable counter arguments, if there are any. Nothing can convince me more than rational thoughts and facts. I kindly ask you to do so instead of an edit war between a sysop and a normal editor. thanks. -- ZH8000 (talk) 23:50, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello SilkTork! I would like to invite you to help beta test the interface for InternetArchiveBot. IABot is a bot designed to help mitigate link rot on Wikipedia. Users can control the bot by using a Management Interface that was designed to be integrated with and similar to Wikipedia (For example, only autoconfirmed users can run the bot; on-wiki administrators have admin access on the tool; user permissions on the tool are flag based; logs are kept; etc.)
If you'd like to help out, feel free to give the interface a go to check for bugs/anomalies/other weird things and send your feedback to Cyberpower678, the bot operator. Again, the interface is at http://tools.wmflabs.org/iabot/ (If it's down for maintenance right now, it'll be back up shortly). If you are not interested, feel free to ignore this message. Thanks, —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 22:57, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
tiding = remove archiving ? really, why ? - Mlpearc (open channel) 23:36, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
