blanking is enough? edit
I ever get the impression that a blue link has any behind. A blanked page wouldn't be useful... (at least wikiprojects should there) mabdul 16:42, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Well, it was nothing offensive or otherwise inappropriate and it was not in mainspace; it was just an editing test on the talk page of an AfD... So I thought that a speedy was an overkill, in that instance... Salvio Let's talk about it! 16:48, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- But it generates a blue link there not a blue link should be (with the exception that a second "test edit" was made). I normally look if there is a discussion on blue links. doesn't matter if mainspace, user-talkpages or other related pages. mabdul 19:37, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Wisdom Song Issue edit
I have made a new user name and will post what I have got so far. I have looked at other buddhist centres pages and feel that I have created something that reflects the goals of wikipedia.
- Please, before recreating the article try to familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest and notability.
Being an encyclopaedia, Wikipedia has only articles on subjects that are already notable, meaning that have received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources; Wikipedia is not intended to be used as a means to promote entities so that they'll become notable.
My advice would be to create an article in your userspace, what we call userspace drafts, if you're convinced that Wisdom Song meets Wikipedia's notability threshold and, then, to ask for feedback at WP:FEEDBACK. Happy editing. Salvio Let's talk about it! 16:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Your comment on my talk page edit
Im sorry, but I marked 3 pages for speedy deletion recently, was this the one about the YouTube user? --Sonez1113 (talk) 21:18, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yep, that's the page. You tagged it as a G11, but I deleted it as an A7. No big deal, however.

my band edit
Hello, this is The Dog Crew. We do not appreciate you deleting are page, that was a minor edit and you deleted are work.
- I'm sorry, but I had to delete your article per speedy deletion criterion A7, as an article about a band that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.
Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and, as such, it only has article about notable subjects; it's not a means to promote something, so that it'll become notable, I'm sorry.
Please familiarise yourself Wikipedia's policies regarding notability and conflicts of interest. Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Good block! How did you figure that out so quickly? I was still trying to delete the pages. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 13:35, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
- I remembered there was a blocked user who used to create an awful lot of articles, whose only content was "Is an AFL player", because I had participated in the clean-up effort before, so I looked around to see if I could find the original user...
Probably you already know, but we have Special:Nuke, which is wonderful in these occasions... Salvio Let's talk about it! 13:40, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
OfferBoffin edit
Hi Salvio,
I would appreciate if you can restore the OfferBoffin post please. It does not contain any advertisement or marketing materials and just explains what the company/project does. I see for example: Groupon, Moneysupermarket.com and etc, should we remove them as well cause for me they are also look similar to this post?
Thanks for reading this and wishing you a nice day and weekend,
Alexander
- I'm sorry, but I will not restore the article: it was deleted for multiple reasons; first of all, it failed to explain why the website is significant or important (speedy deletion criterion A7) and, then, it was written in a way which made me think it was only meant for promotion (speedy deletion criterion G11). Its tone was inappropriate under Wikipedia's rules, although I appreciate that wasn't your intention!
Wikipedia, being an encyclopaedia, can only have articles neutrally written about notable subjects — subjects having received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources —; it's not intended to be used as a means to promote something, so that it will become notable. You may profit from reading Wikipedia's FAQ for organisations and policy regarding conflicts of interest, if you wish to know more and see what you can do now.
So, in conclusion, I'm really sorry, but I cannot restore your article. Best regards. Salvio Let's talk about it! 21:08, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
Illegal Operation's long term edit-warring edit
You closed my report of Illegal Operation's edit-warring as stale.[1] However, Illegal Operation continues edit-warring.[2] This user is a long-term edit-warrior and has been warned before.[3] Since you closed my report as stale, let me ask you two questions:
- Has Illegal Operation indicated that he understands why his behavior is problematic?
- Has Illegal Operation said that he intends on changing his behavior?
A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 13:56, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
- When I closed the report as stale, this was not meant as an endorsement of Illegal Operation's editing style; he was edit warring, that's true, but when I got to the report, I saw that he hadn't edited the article for some twelve hours; st that point, I thought the block would be punitive and not preventative and that's why I merely left a warning on his talk page and he, then, agreed to stop editing the page for a few days.
I'm sorry if you feel I was mistaken. I'm going to give Illegal Operation a final warning and if he keeps on edit warring after that, feel free to report him to WP:ANEW (linking to this reply, if you wish) or to me, if I'm online. Salvio Let's talk about it! 14:11, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
How is something like this handled? It's not neccessarily a username violation by the username itself. The concern is more that two people are editing from it. What board would this go to?--v/r - TP 19:22, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
- I think WP:ANI would, perhaps, be the best venue, although WP:UAA works just as well; after all, WP:NOSHARE is a subsection of WP:U. In this case, I'd say to go with a (soft)block and a personalised note, to let them know why they were blocked. Salvio Let's talk about it! 00:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
You deleted my page "Western Alliance Football Club".
Why?

You blocking of user Halfwayhome edit
Hi. You blocked this user but unfortunately they had already got their spam template / message on to quite a few user pages. Should these be removed? Is there an easy way to do this?! Cheers ^_^ Nikthestoned 11:49, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- Technically, I'd say yes, they ought to be removed, even though, in that case, we'd have no other choice but to manually remove/substitute them; I've tried the rollback all function, but, since his was the first revision for the various pages, it doesn't work; mass deletion through Special:Nuke would be awfully bitey... So I'd say that we have no choice but to do it by hand, although at the moment I have very little time, so I can't see to it... Salvio Let's talk about it! 10:12, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Dear Salvio,
Greetings, I am the individual who is creating the wiki entry for the Caucus for a New Political Science (CNPS). I understand that last week you flagged the article and it was taken down. I apologize for any confusion or perceived bias in the article. I have no formal or informal association with the Caucus for a New Political Science - I was simply asked to write an article on their behalf, as no Wiki entry currently exists.
I was in the midst of editing the work when you had it flagged. It was not complete in citations or grammatical construction, and was a work in progress. The article is intended to be an informative tool for those who are curious about the organization, and it provides a history and evolution of the Caucus since 1967, along with major milestones
I hope that this was a simple misunderstanding, and I anticipate posting the new and completed article today. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach me at gradpolsci@wpunj.edu.
Regards,
WPUpolsci
- I deleted the page under speedy deletion criterion G11 because I considered unambiguous promotion; it was a very long page about the Caucus for a New Political Science that could have been in the "about us" section of this organisation's website. Wikipedia is supposed to be written using a neutral tone and our articles must meet stringent verifiability requirements.
Furthermore, I'm not really sure this organisation is notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia — to be notable, an entity must have received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources —. Also, I must invite you to read Wikipedia's policy regarding conflicts of interest.
However, if you believe this organisation is notable, my suggestion would be to create a draft in your userspace, so that it will not be deleted straight away and, then, ask for feedback at WP:FEEDBACK. Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I want my article back please. I have spent long enough preparing it. It was completely relevant and significant as this is a football club with a future, so please re-upload and unblock.
- Unfortunately, Wikipedia, being an encyclopaedia, only covers subjects that are already notable, meaning that they have received significant coverage in reliable, third-party sources, not those that will be. I'm sorry, but this football club cannot have its own article, for the moment, because it fails our requirements for inclusion. Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Arbitration Errata edit
Hello Salvio, I just noticed something odd. I made a comment earlier this afternoon in that ongoing arbitration around arborsculpture, that seems to have somehow become conflated with an edit by one of the other parties to the arbitration. Here is the diff. Do you see how Blackash's comment below Line 62 appears to have been edited by me? I did not edit Blackash's comment. I added a comment below Line 99, @ 12:49pm and then I also came back moments later at 12:53pm and added another bit amidst my own comment. Both of those edits are mine, but I believe that Blackash edited her own comment there below Line 62. Should not Blackash's edit have its own diff? What happened there? duff 22:52, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, Blackash's edit should have its own diff... I'm not really sure what happened there, it was either a glitch in the software (sometimes, they happen...) or humar error (maybe you misclicked with the mouse...). I'm not really sure what that was, however, I'm sorry. My suggestion to you would be to undo your edit and, then, resubmit it. Salvio Let's talk about it! 11:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Ryan Vesey edit
I have replied to your message at User talk:JamesBWatson#Ryan Vesey. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:12, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Could you please check my contributions? In light of concerns, I would like to make sure my initial edits with AWB are good ones. Ryan Vesey (talk) 02:02, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- For the moment, everything looks kosher; however, please remember not to yse AWB to only make insignificant minor edits such as:
- just adding or removing some white space or
- merely moving a stub tag or category name.
- Keep up the good work. Salvio Let's talk about it! 02:13, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, now for some questions. There are times where there are words in the alert box. It might say uneven brackets or something. Has it automatically fixed those? If I click on it, I am not brought to anything to change. Also, I can't seem to use the disambiguation part. Do you know how to do that? Ryan Vesey (talk) 02:16, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- Unfortunately not, I've never used AWB... Salvio Let's talk about it! 10:53, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Nigel Watson edit
Hi,
I own the copyright to the Nigel watson jpg that I want to delete, it is not linked to any pages in wikipedia.
- For ease of reference, this is the file File:NigelWatson.jpg. Whst do you mean you own the copyright to that image? According to the page, the author of the image, Magonia (talk · contribs), licensed it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0; was that not true? I must admit I know very little about Wikipedia's rules regarding the subject matter, so I can be of very little help; I'd suggest you contact WP:OTRS, sending an email to info-en-c@wikimedia.org. Salvio Let's talk about it! 17:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi - thanks for telling me you altered the reason for deletion - I'm learning. Could you please have a look at this and tell me under what criterion it should be CSDed. Thanks. MarkDask 15:31, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- In general, a page in a foreign language does not necessarily have to be be speedily deleted. It should be tagged with
{{notenglish}}and listed at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English. In this case, however, a Google translation of the article showed me that it qualified for deletion under criterion A7. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:38, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
