Deleted Page
Hello, my page Larry R Cox was deleted and I am not sure why. On Amnesty International USA page there is a link to Larry Cox -the baseball player - instead of Larry R Cox the executive director. I added the Larry R Cox page with his bio and it was deleted. Please restore Aiusa info (talk) 17:19, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
The answer is all over your talk page. By the looks of things, you basically copy-pasted the article from somewhere, hence the copyright warnings. Also, you need to prove notability of this man. Remove the link to the baseball player for now and don't replace it until you can prove notabilty with an original article. Finally, as a user stated, your username indicates a potential link to Amnesty International. If you are focused on editing AI pages, then that is a conflict of interest and your username will be blocked indefinitely. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 17:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I had posted that comment that he copied. BTW, since you seem to have some knowledge of image uses, can you please take a look at Hero (2009 TV series)? The same user keeps adding in a correlation chart of the characters that is in Korean. It doesn't add to the article, IMO, and it's in Korean, so English users can't use it. Plus, there's already a cast image there. Ophois (talk) 08:00, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Page Deletion
hey, why did you delete my page - Demonic resurrection???????--Bdwolverine87 (talk) 10:40, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
Because, and I quote from the speedy deletion tag on the new page that you have created for it, "This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject." --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 13:20, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
can you explain me how am i supposed to create a new page taking into consideration the "importance or significance of the subject", lets take for example a band.--Bdwolverine87 (talk) 15:18, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, the first question is: are they famous or are they a garage band? Unless a lot of controversy surrounds them (commented by reliable sources), garage bands are rarely notable. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 15:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
yes, they are a very famous band all over the major cities in India, they have been playing for over 10 years. they are so famous that a Swedish metal guitarist wore their t-shirt in 2007 in Brazil.--Bdwolverine87 (talk) 04:04, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
The problem is that the (alleged) fame was never backed up with a reliable source. When I deleted the article, there was neither a clear claim of significance (no international tours, no charted singles) nor any reliable sources cited. —C.Fred (talk) 05:49, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
if that is the case, please check up the search for "scribe(band)", i think this band is less deserved than my band.--Bdwolverine87 (talk) 05:53, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
"Confect was placed fifth on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of top Ten Indian Albums of 2008." That is a clear assertion of significance—and with that assertion, the article is not subject to speedy deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 05:56, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
I agree with Thejadefalcon on that point. "There's an article on Y" is not a reason to keep an article on X, nor is "You deleted an article on X" a reason to delete an article on Y. That said, the quote I pulled shows that the Scribe article does meet the minimum criteria to not be speedy deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 16:21, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Good call C Fred with the number of goals Harley has kicked.

You Deleted an article I put up and I don't know why
I am not trying to do anything wrong on Wikipedia, nor am I trying to prop up my website's page rank. I am neither trying to advertise and sneak some business off Wikipedia. All I am trying to do is provide some background information on my website I am not able to put on my site if someone looks me up.
The chances are that, if you really weren't advertising, it wasn't shown to be notable enough for an article (the deletion log backs this up). Just because something exists, doesn't mean there needs to be an article on it. Wikipedia doesn't have a Rule 34 equivalent. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 20:34, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Would you mind copying the TP contents over to the user's TP? It might be helpful. I'm not sure if that can be done without a redirect or some sort of merge, but since you have the tools, I figured it might be possible. It'll probably help the editor with some guidance on the process to follow. (I had a similar discussion with another editor of this page during the prior AfD) cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 19:41, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Fred, could you please return the data as to Dana Barron's role in "No Means No" to her page. According to yourself on the discussion page, you have removed it numerous times, citing lack of a mention on her IMDB profile page. You are in error. It is clearly listed as item 31 on her IMDB page. You have continually removed it from her wiki page when others have posted it. They are correct. You are not. Item 31 on her IMDB page lists her character as Megan Wells in a CBS Schoolbreak special called "No Means No" one episode 1988. In addition i have seen this episode myself and it is on youtube. Its her. She was in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.129.108.97 (talk) 21:05, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

why are you deleting a musician's deserved categories? Don't you think accountants should stick to accounting and leave music matters to smarter experts?
You have been warned for personal attacks. C.Fred is an admin on Wikipedia and therefore deserving of respect. As for the page, it was likely non-notable, unsourced, advertising or your had a conflict of interest. All of these are problems. Read the deletion log and it will say why it was deleted. Without the name of the page, I can't say for sure. But be civil and listen to people's advice or you will find yourself rapidly blocked. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 22:10, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
MostFamousPeopleUSA, I've expanded on the rationale for deleting the extra categories from Marina Verenikina on your talk page. I also gave an edit summary on the category I removed today (parent category, and she's already in a subcategory). —C.Fred (talk) 23:30, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
C.Fred,
Please reinstate my deleted page (Homeowners of Texas). Your Speedy Deletion occurred too fast for me to respond, but I’m responding to the two issues here.
RE: CSD A7 and notability. Homeowners of Texas is notable because it’s the nonprofit organization successfully that took on the powerful lobbyists of a $35 Billion Texas homebuilding industry and won notable changes in Texas laws governing homebuilding. It is an ongoing enterprise that is expanding its scope and legislative agenda nationally, making it even more relevant to Wikipedia audiences. If you don’t agree, then please explain why powerful industry associations can be listed on Wikipedia but the nonprofit (i.e. underfunded) organizations that watch out for consumers and keep the big guys in check are tagged for Speedy Deletion. Our organization’s success is widely described in the mainstream media and recognized by elected officials, at least in Texas. Soon we’ll be well known nationally, with or without Wikipedia.
RE: CSD G12 and copyright problems. A portion of the text in my Wikipedia article came directly from homeownersoftexas.org, the website I created and own. I represent HOT and have permission to use this material. Also note that on our site (not in the Wikipedia article) we include full text of several published articles with highlights and added commentary for educational purposes under Fair Use rules as a nonprofit. I will send this information to permissions-en@wikimedia.org tonight from my personal ID at home and will resend from my workID@homeownersoftexas.org in the morning.
TXhomeowner (talk) 05:33, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
C.Fred,
RE: conflict of interest. I understand the issue and will gladly declare my interests in Homeowners of Texas so people can judge the validity of the article for themselves. I’ll note that in the TALK section, but should I also include it in the ARTICLE? I have nothing to hide. COI is more likely with small nonprofits than large industry associations, where any association member can create and edit articles without being an “officer” in the organization. I will include this explaination along with my other two in the note I send to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
TXhomeowner (talk) 05:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
C.Fred,
Per NAHB's vision statement: "NAHB strives to create an environment in which: All Americans have access to the housing of their choice and the opportunity to realize the American dream of homeownership. Builders have the freedom to operate as entrepreneurs in an open and competitive environment. Housing and those who provide it are recognized as the strength of the nation." Based on that, access to housing is a goal of the organization. What reliable sources do you have that they lobby against codes, licensing, and arbitration clauses?
We agree that NAHB promotes the American dream of homeownership and access to housing. Such objectives increase the profit of association members. But to say that chief among their goals is SAFE and decent housing is bogus and misleading. Any organization can write a vision statement, but the proof is in their actions, and they continue to aggressively oppose contractor licensing, lemon laws, automated fire sprinklers, and enhanced building codes that are designed to improve the health, safety and welfare of building occupants. I challenge them, or you, to prove me wrong. And I now must question the funding of Wikipedia, because you are showing bias in favor of industry over that of consumer groups that would keep them honest. And you question our honesty? I feel like I’m having to prove my case to a lobbyist for industry as opposed to a neutral body.
In the case of safety alone, hundreds of reliable sources confirm the fact that NAHB and homebuilder associations have fought fire sprinkler systems, just as they refused to install smoke alarms until new laws forced them to. These sources include the International Code Council (of which builders are members), fire chiefs, mainstream media, and watch dog organizations like Homeowners of Texas.
Do I need to go on and on with additional sources for other building codes, builder licensing, and binding arbitration. The evidence is clear and overwhelming to support my assertion that NAHB's claim is bogus and should be removed.TXhomeowner (talk) 17:00, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
C.Fred,
Thanks for your advice re. NAHB. I'll proceed that way.
Have I satisfied the concerns you had about my deleted article (Homeowners of Texas) and its G12 and A7 violations? I want to repost the article and make necessary changes in the article or Talk page. One improvement to avoid advocacy and opinion is to describe the role of a consumer watch dog and groups who would lobby on behalf of consumers versus special interests. I tried to avoid advocating positions in the article but instead refer to the HOT website for that. I could also include links to other consumer groups working toward similar objectives. That way, people interested in advocacy or who have disputes with builders know where to go. Another improvement would be to acknowledge my natural bias and conflict of interest up front (in the article and/or Talk page). Any other suggestions? When can I get my article restored, or do I need to recreate it from scratch?

Supernatural question
Hey, do you mind taking a look at this? The user keeps removing important aspects from the demon culture (such as Azazel was a "tyrant" rather than a ruler, and that many demons tried to assume leadership following his death). The user claims that he is trimming it while retaining the same meaning, but this is not true. Can you please give your opinion? Thanks. Ωphois 17:18, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I can give you a link to the episode's transcript, if that would help. Ωphois 20:26, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
My main problem with his removals is that "tyrant" shows the structure of the demon's rule, as it wasn't that he was king, but more held everyone together with an iron fist. Removing it makes it ambiguous. The user also says that saying the demons' cohesion falls apart is enough, but that is not the same as the demons all trying to take his place. Ωphois 20:29, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
The lines after the tyrant quote also illustrate the second point the user was removing. Ωphois 20:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I've made numerous attempts to discuss it with the user, but he seems to be ignoring my requests, and he once again removed it after you had revered it. Ωphois 23:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
If you don't have time to look at it, I can instead put it on a noticeboard or something, if you want. :) Ωphois 18:08, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
I've made numerous attempts to discuss it on the user's talk page. He gave the initial response of "Because it says the same thing after I edited it just less words", and has since ignored my responses explaining that his change in fact makes the meaning more vague, and asking him to expand his reasoning. Ωphois 18:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Etobicoke Collegiate Institute - Mark and Tim Gane
Hello C. Fred,
Yesterday I added Mark Gane and Tim Gane to list of notable alumni within the Etobicoke Collegiate Institute article. You removed them a few hours later, noting that it doesn't state within the Martha and the Muffins article that they attended E.C.I., which is true. However, it does note that "Martha Ladly ... attended high school with the Ganes." This is also stated on a page on Martha and the Muffins' official website. Given that Martha Ladly is currently listed as a notable alumni of E.C.I., it seemed logical to add Mark and Tim Gane, as Mark is currently still a member of Martha and the Muffins and Tim was the band's drummer for a significant period during the band's early years.
As such, I think Mark and Tim Gane merit inclusion on the list.
Hello, i'm very sorry but you are wrong with your assumptions. I have not vandalised any pages and my updates were correct. I am a relative of Mr Salifou and it took courage for him and his partners to come out as a bi sexual. Did you delete this simply because you are a biggot? I would take some time to study english news as I guess you live in the United States and have no idea of our current affairs. I will simply adjust the article from another computer tomorrow. How very rude of you to not even ask a simple question on the matter before it's deletion. I would suggest your role as a moderator was removed swiftly as you obviously use it as a power trip more than for any good, which is a pity as other moderators handle their jobs with care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.73.136.102 (talk) 04:23, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

NBA/WNBA season boxes
Hi. I see you have noticed about the recent changes I've made on the NBA and the WNBA season by season boxes. Look, not to be disrespectful or anything, but when I do the WNBA season boxes, which look fantastic by the way, it takes me a long time to convert the old team information to the new WNBA season table. So I thought about re-doing some of the pages, but with a simpler table, which almost looks the same, but with some minor changes to it. Leave a message in my talk page and tell me what you think about this message.

Proposed Eli Whitney Students Program-Yale College Page Merger
Hi there. As you initially proposed the possibility of a merger, perhaps you might entertain removing the merger tag if after a few days there is still little or no discussion on it. How does protocol usually work in this circumstance? For what it is worth, I am opposed to a merger for reasons that I have outlined in previous discussions; I do not see it serving any purpose except to convolute the Yale College page and to misrepresent and confuse the identity of the Eli Whitney Program as a distinct program at Yale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milkbaba (talk • contribs) 21:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Pronto, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Pronto and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'm alerting you because you made several comments on the article's talk page requesting that this remains; whilst that was in 2006, you've made recent reverts and might have a reason to oppose deletion. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi C.Fred. I actually work for the Aces, and although I see your point about our 2010 schedule, I would request special permission to leave it on the page, as it is good advertising for the team. The schedule will be promptly deleted shortly after the 2010 season and replaced with a written paragraph, which will also be composed as the season progresses. In addition, I will add a result column to the schedule.

SAE, SPA, and Wikileaks
You make a good point about the Sig Phi article. Again, I think this is a quandary we may want to work to settle at a higher level as it may determine issues regarding a lot of articles and the use of Wikileaks. Here is a few of the issues as I see it:
1) Wikileaks is an independent site from the wikifoundation
2) Wikileaks is being used as a source for MSM such as the NYT, LAT, and WSJ
3) Wikileaks is non-profit, and journalist operated like any news source
4) Wikileaks publishes information on its own site
As to the issues regarding publishability of material, the policy seems clear that items being claimed for copyright shouldn't be directly posted on wikipedia. However it may behoove us to have the issue clarified about material, on a news site such as wikileaks, which while linked is not hosted by wiki. It is a weird situation, given the SAE refuses to comment publicly about the book, so it cant be refuted or have its copyright arguments heard, but Sig Phi sends a copyright cease and desist letter, and the link is pulled from that particular article. It may be time to take a couple of actions regarding both the article itself and the overall issue. If you are interested, we could take the issue up the chain to the appropriate wiki project and get an opinion and hopefully get a policy regarding wikileaks for others to follow in the future. Also, I am considering doing a lit search at my university regarding the fraternity to get some clear and strong third party citations to back the material currently on the page. Your thoughts?
You posted the following on this article talk page.
"Link death does not change the reliability of the sources, even if verifying them becomes more cumbersome. I will agree that two paragraphs can be removed because they cite no sources; however, the sourced paragraphs should remain, unless a more compelling argument than link death can be given. If anything, the correct step at this point is to search an archive for the stories and find a more permanent link."
Because I was still confused by the policies involved, I asked a question on the BLP policy talk page here. Another editor has stated that your interpretation of policy is incorrect in regards to BLP. I wanted to let you know in case you wish to involve yourself in the discussion. Thanks!

Hello C.Fred. I have been adding some references from Ken Schultz's Encyclopedia On Fishing because it's a great resource. Mr. Schultz is one of the most widely-published fishing authors ever, and his Encyclopedia is considered to be the most comprehensive fishing books available. I can see where it looks a bit like spamming, I'll adapt the text to play down promoting Ken's personality but still share his expertise on some fishing topics as I see entries that could be improved.

It is obvious Insulting to Turks and must be deleted.Jimmycardiel (talk) 17:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
such these: 1. Uzbek did not came to Faryab before as late as the 16th century.
2. Ethnicity=mother tongue so Frabi is Persians not Turk as her mother tongue Was Persian. 3. Even Genetically Farabi was caucasoid raced,with caucasoid "haplotype" and not mongoloid raced Turk with "mongoloid" haplotype 4. Farabi is genetically Persian. 5. In fact Azeris are linguistically Turkicized Persians. 6. actual Turks of Anatolia are linguistically Turkicized Greeks,Armenians,Luwians,Lydians,Circassians,Georgians,Laz,Arabs,Assyrians,Pomaks,Bulgarians etc etc. 7. Not "Turkish people", but "Turkicized people". 8. Today actually there is no such a Turkish nation on the earth, right? They came from space, somewhere around Venus? It'd be better if it could be written like that. 8. Also Actual Turkey Culture is somehow a mix of Greek and Persian culture and it has very few influences from Central Asia nomadic Turkic culture. 9. The imprecise meaning of Türk The word Türk was a derogatory term until the late 19th century. and so many others. please delete this fascistic writing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmycardiel (talk • contribs) 17:52, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

To: Wikipedia Editors slakr, DGG, C.Fred & Ronhjones
Gentlemen:
By way of introduction I am H. William Fogle, Jr. (Hwf1870, Bill Fogle, bill.fogle@cox.net), the Alumni Historian of the Delta Chi Association (the alumni arm of the Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon at Cornell University). I am also the sole author of the thirty historical papers about this Chapter that you will find on the Cornell University eCommons@Cornell site. See http://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/7626.
I am also the author of Cornell Deke House )A History of the 1893 Lodge. Ithaca NY: The Delta Chi Association, 1993.
Copies are located in the Cornell University Library (+LJ75/.315/ 1993Z), the DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County (728.4 7655, accession #1994.9.1) 401 East State Street, Ithaca 14850) and the Library of Congress (Washington DC).
I noted that there were at lease three existing Wikipedia articles that connected to Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon at Cornell University:
I edited “Deke House (Ithaca, New York)” on 29 December 2009 to correct the spelling of my name in the references.
I edited “John De Witt Warner” on 29 December 2009 to correct the link to the reference Fogle, Jr., Homer William (3 Jul 2006). "DX of DKE Special Study #09:
I edited “Mario García Menocal” on 30 December 2009 to add the two references that described the 1920 DKE Convention: Minot, John Clair (February 1921). "The Convention in Havana," Delta Kappa Epsilon Quarterly, XXXIX, 1, p. 1-25; and Fogle, Homer William Jr. (25 Nov 2005). The Deke House at Cornell: a concise history of the Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon, 1870-1930.Cf. pp. 27, 57, 60, 64, 66-69.
My next steps were to create two brief articles, "Delta Chi Association" and "Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon." The information for these articles consisted of abridgements from http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3931 (Title: "Chapter and Alumni Operations Handbook, 2006" Author: Fogle, Homer William Jr.)
I completed the first article, "Delta Chi Association" on 30 December and that seemed to be accepted by the system. However, on the following day the text for the second article, "Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon." triggered your plagiarism monitor and, I think, perhaps another on significance.
I would like to complete these two articles and see them registered in Wikipedia.
This chapter of DKE is one of the most historically significant college societies in the United States. It has direct connections to a host of important historical figures including two Presidents of the United States. The lodge is on the National Registor of Historic Places and the Ithaca Landmark list. You will find much of the historical data in http://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/3223.
Please advise if I may proceed with these two articles.
Respectfully,
H. William Fogle, Jr. (Hwf1870)

Re:Deletions to Pi Lambda Phi History
By way of introduction, I am Chip Luman, the President of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation (cluman, chip.luman@pilambdaphi.org). This is my first time posting to Wikipedia so it would be helpful if you could provide more feedback beyond the short notes that associated your deletion. I now realize my html formatting may not have been correct and will update that. I did attempt to follow the visual formatting suggested by Wikipedia:WikiProject_Fraternities_and_Sororities and the highly rated Alpha Kappa Alpha page. The Pi Lambda Phi page is currently rated at "start" by their quality rankings guide and needs to be improved.
As to the comments about speculation, all content was taken from "A Guide for New Members of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity", (c) Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity, Inc. 2007. As President and member of the Board of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation I am authorized to provide permissions for the use of this material. The page that was reverted back to contained a small summary that was also previously taken from this same material. Again, as I am new to this process, please identify the portion(s) that were deemed speculative so I can properly cite or correct them in the next revision.
Please advise as I would like to continue to improve the Pi Lambda Phi page.

Thank you so much for correcting my previous transgression. It was dumb of me to do such a haineous act, and for that, I am truly regretful. I am SO glad that I was so swiftly set back on the right track and the course of righteousness. I shall never again deface this brilliant website so, and I hope you will accept this apology.
However, the last guy to set me on the path of righteousness had a far better resume. Just saying.

Help/Confused
Hello C.Fred
So I am slightly confused as you say Delta Pi lacks more secondary sources but if you look at many other entries for fraternities/sororities such as Phi Kappa Pi or Psi Phi Delta etc, they are not being told to cite the dates or use secondary sources.
Most of the info on the Cherilyn Eagar has been online and read and reviewed by other candidates for many months and has been left intact. Please see my talk page for more comments. While I think more eyes would be great, I would like to take down the COI based on my points at my talk page. The only current candidate I have a strong bias against as of today, just announced, and I listed him anyway. Hopefully I can get less bias with them soon. Archf 1 (talk) 17:48, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon candidate text
The Chapter has functioned without interruption since its charter was granted by the Phi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon (Φ of ΔKE) at Yale University on February 11, 1870.
The historic importance of this fraternity chapter derives from four attributes:
the intent of its founders and architectural mentors for the Chapter to take on the role of an Oxbridge style college within an American university setting;
the exceptional political and martial traditions of its membership as evidenced by the many memorials preserved in the Chapter’s lodge;
the leading role played by Delta Kappa Epsilon in the Secret society movement at Cornell University (c. 1870-1930); and
the number of members who achieved distinction in public life and commerce while maintaining close ties to the undergraduate establishment in Ithaca throughout their careers.
Noteworthy Events
Noteworthy events in the Chapter’s history include the following.
U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes became an honorary member of Delta Kappa Epsilon in 1877 following the initiation of his three sons in the Delta Chi Chapter of DKE: Birchard Austin Hayes '74, James Webb Cook Hayes '76 (both initiated on October 7, 1873) and Rutherford Platt Hayes '80 (initiated on October 13, 1876).
New York State Governor Theodore Roosevelt, a Deke from the Harvard College chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon (A of ΔKE), visited the Chapter on 20 June 1899 and planted two Norway Spruce trees to commemorate the memory of Brother Clifton Beckwith Brown ’00 who had been killed in the Battle of San Juan Hill on July 1, 1898.
The chapter was an active member of the Star League, the five leading secret societies at Cornell during the nineteenth century: Zeta Psi (founded 1868), Kappa Alpha Society (1868), Alpha Delta Phi (1869), Delta Kappa Epsilon (1870) and Psi Upsilon (1876). This consortium that cooperated to varying degrees with respect to social affairs, intramural athletics and rush, eventually became the Big Six with the addition of Chi Psi (1869).
Delta Chi Brother Mario Garcia Menocal III '88, the third President of the Republic of Cuba, invited the members of Delta Kappa Epsilon to hold their 76th DKE Convention in Havana. This assembly convened in December 1920. The Delta Chi Chapter of the fraternity was represented by a delegation of fifteen brothers. The convention elected Delta Chi Brother Stephen Byrd Horrell '21 to preside in the office of Convention President.
The Chapter's purpose and goals accord with the original statement of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity's purpose:
The Objects of Delta Kappa Epsilon are the cultivation of general literature and social culture, the advancement and encouragement of intellectual excellence, the promotion of honorable friendship and useful citizenship, the maintenance of gentlemanly dignity, self-respect and morality in all circumstances, and the union of stout hearts and kindred interests to secure to merit its due reward. DKE handbook for Pledges (Delta Kappa Epsilon Council, 1956).
Motto
The overt motto is “Μή δοκεῖν ἀλλ᾽ εἶναι,” or in Roman transliteration, “Me Dokein All Einai,” meaning “Not to seem, but to be.” The phrase is taken from line 592 in the 467 B.C. play, Seven Against Thebes, by Aeschylus.
Or, between two chevrons counterpoint, the upper Gules and the lower Azure, as many men's hearts, issuant from each and pendant overall a chain of seven links, joining them in base as their fifteenth link the interlaced Greek letters "Delta" and "Chi" Gules, counterchanged Or over the lower chevron. At fess point an inescutcheon depicting a landscape, namely, Azure, the sun rising in splendor from behind three mountains Vert, and in base Sable, therein the sun reflected wavy Argent. Above the Shield is placed a helmet with visor closed, and in Escrol below the Shield this motto: "Not to seem, but to be," in Greek Letters.
Charter, Governance and Tax Status
Charter
The Chapter was chartered by the Phi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon (Φ of ΔKE) at Yale College, New Haven CT, on 11 February 1870 with an inaugural dinner held at the Clinton House on that date. Brother James Julius Chambers '70 (1850 - 1920) served as the Chapter's first president. The Chapter was subsequently incorporated in the State of [New York] as the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity at Cornell University, Inc., on 5 November 1883 "for the purpose of mental, moral and social improvement." The Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the Tompkins County Clerk on 7 November 1883 and with the New York Secretary of State on 8 November 1883.
Governance
The undergraduate organization (1) operates a fraternal association, (2) manages a residence facility, (3) runs a dining service, and (4) conducts social entertainments for the benefit of its active members and alumni.
The Chapter is organized and governed in accordance with Chapter Bylaws that were last revised and ratified on 29 January 2009. In addition, members are bound by the provisions of subordinate House Rules that govern conduct, discipline, decorum and other such matters.
Federal and State Tax Status
The Chapter is a tax exempt public charity in accordance with Title 26 U.S.C. (Internal Revenue Code) §501(c)7 per a group ruling letter issued to the Delta Kappa Epsilon Council in January 1943. The chapter is recognized as a "not for profit" corporation by the New York State's Division of Corporation Records in a letter dated 23 April 1987.
Historical Resources
DKE Depository
The records, correspondence, publications and selected artifacts of the Chapter are held in the DKE Depository (Collection #37-4-1535) maintained by the Cornell University Library's Rare and Manuscript Collections Department under terms set forth in a formal Memorandum of Understanding dated 29 February 1988 and executed on 4 March 1988.
The Depository holds the original 1870 Charter. Black & white and color photographic images of this document are filed as N4279 and N4317, respectively. A replacement charter, also held in the ΔKE Depository, was issued by the Sixty-Second ΔKE Convention held at Hartford CT, 12-13 November 1908. Black & white and color photographic images are filed as N4280 and N4318, respectively.
Publications
The chapter publishes The Delta Chi Deke newsletter (ISSN #0895-5255, registered on 10 September 1987 with the Library of Congress National Serials Data Program) under the direction of an undergraduate editor and distributes same to all alumni and friends of Delta Chi. Back issues dating from Volume I, Number 1 (May 1935), are held in the DKE Depository.
Chapter House and Grounds
The 13 South Avenue property (City of Ithaca tax parcel #31-1-10) and the lodge thereon known as the Deke House (Cornell Facility #4719) are owned by Cornell University. The lodge has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places managed by the U. S.

Coptic church links
Fred,
Thank you for your message. No inappropriate external links are beng added. An update of the current correct links is taking place. All current links are church links which are proper, relevant and needed for the article. All Wikipedia rules and regulations are being followed.
It is all one-united church, our church in south america for example is linked to the mother church and on going visits from bishops of different dioceses to south america is taking place on a monthly basis. Furthermore, reading a short article about our church in south america may require further or additional information which can only be available in Egypt's mother church and local dicoses overthere.
Hope I was able to express our church point of view. Thanks fr your consideration.

Hi Fred
Having problems with the picture on the Monica Edwards page. There is some stray code above and below the image (Here....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Edwards)
If it was you that fixed the stray code around the picture then thanks again.
Ive included all the blurbs as block quotes and the title of each is "Blurb from the first edition". Copyright issues? Shouldn't be a problem as I know personally the holder of the copyright (Shelley Edwards - daughter of the author)
As it has become painfully obvious, my contributions are no longer welcome or needed here. In light of this situation, I am leaving this screwed up bureaucracy for the conceivable future.

List of The Suite Life on Deck episodes
Regarding this edit, Coral Bay's removal of the episode was actually one of the few correct things she did. The source used was copied and pasted from Any Given Fantasy. The citation's title was changed but the url still points to Any Given Fantasy's entry at TV Guide.

Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon
To: Wikipedia Editors slakr, DGG, C.Fred & Ronhjones
Gentlemen:
Please recall that we were having some discussion about the appropriateness of adding an article on the Delta Chi Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon to Wikipedia. I concede that an article on the Delta Chi Association (the alumni arm of the Chapter) is not necessary, but I would like to go forward with an article on the chapter. I have prepared a text that follows in this message. All sources for the material are cited.
I note that Wikipedia carries many articles on specific clubs and societies in American universities. The "Dartmouth College Greek organizations" article provides subarticles on the individual Greek-letter chapters. "Eating club (Princeton University)" links to separate articles on the five bicker clubs and the five non-selective clubs in Princeton The secret honor societies of Cornell University have articles, i.e. "Sphinx Head" and "Quill and Dagger." There are individual articles on six of the eight final clubs at Harvard University. Yale University's societies, e.g. Skull and Bones" well are represented.
In other words, I see ample precedent for an article on a specific college club.
You will note that there is sufficient historical significance cited to warrant an article.
Please advise if I may proceed.
I would appreciate responses by email: bill.fogle@cox.net

Reason for censoring wiki CanWest 2009 operating income statement
Please explain why wiki is no longer disclosing CanWest's operating income? You removed wiki's CanWest 2008 operating income today, and did not update it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haida chieftain (talk • contribs) 04:22, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Actually, you removed the operating income this afternoon (diff). You re-added EBITDA today; I changed it to be EBIT/operating income. —C.Fred (talk) 04:31, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
On further looking (I pulled up SEDAR), you used the EBIT figure they gave; I used the one Google did. Given the choice of Canwest's breakdown of operating/non-operating or Google's, I'll go with Canwest's. So it's back to the figure you added tonight. —C.Fred (talk)

blocking
Frod, I want to know why I am blocked all the time everywhere I go? It all started with you, reversing edits that should not have been reversed, and placing tags that should not have been placed. This is not an attack by the way, it's just observation, fact, and a smart question.
You keep getting blocked because you keep attacking people. Largely over their musical tastes. I don't remember saying anywhere where I even like what you think I do, but you refuse to shut up nonetheless. If you can't understand why you were blocked even though you have been told why by numerous people, then I have lost all hope of ever assuming good faith with you for a long time. And here you are, blaming C.Fred for your own faults, saying that it all started with him. I've had a lot of my edits reverted too (at one point, around two hundred of them very rapidly). However, I stated why I made the edits, the other users stated their point of view, everyone was very calm and no-one started going berserk over what you, but nobody else, thought was a grave insult against an award that hasn't been awarded for nineteen years and for a group of people that no longer exist, but was somehow demeaning Russians everywhere. If you haven't accepted this from multiple other people, I don't see why you'll accept C.Fred's view on things. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 00:28, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
Hey, birdie, I never asked you so I would say stop stalking me and sticking your nose into something that is a private matter between Frod and me. I'm not sure Frod is any kind of music expert but I figure he knows more than you do. So I am hoping Frod will see the light and reverse his edits, since I know by now he's probably reflected upon the whole matter and must feel bad about the whole thing.
Case in point exactly. I'm going to go ignore you again, because I have no interest in talking to a) trolls or b) idiots who simply cannot read. Consider my assumption of good faith revoked. --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 01:33, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
I did not reply to this comment because I didn't think anything positive could come of replying to it. While I'm willing to give MostFamousPeopleUSA the benefit of the doubt that they typoed my name in the first post, the three subsequent misspellings cast a little doubt on that. Accordingly, I'm not sure whether it's an honest inquiry or a troll.
MFP, if you'd like to have a future editing on Wikipedia, I encourage you to make some constructive edits to articles. Make sure you cite reliable sources—and be prepared for your edits to be challenged or undone if you don't. Be prepared for your edits to be challenged or undone if you apply categories that are redundant, are parent categories of subcategories the article is already in, or are otherwise inappropriate. If that happens, discuss the matter, civilly and focused on the facts of the edit and not accusations about the editor, on the talk page of the article.
If you're unwilling to do that, if you're going to continue dredging over prior matters, then I will go ahead and reverse an edit I didn't make today: the request to the administrator's noticeboard for another set of eyes to look at your comment to Thejadefalcon and your reply here to consider whether another block is warranted for those edits. —C.Fred (talk) 02:53, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
OK, whatever, you can reverse all the edits you want as long as you don't remove the original listing. In any case, I've seen listings here with edit reversals and tags that have been like that for ages so obviously that's become the norm here at Wikipea. After a while, the tags and stuff lose their meaning, a case of more bark than bite. I plan to travel soon so you won't be hearing much from me for a long time.

Eager-Gulbrandsen historical discrepancies.
Just want to clarify that I do not know Mrs. Eagar, do not live in the State of Utah and have no affiliation with either side of this campaign. I only became aware of Mrs. Eagar after reading her letter to the editor in a Bay Area magazine in January of 2009. She was commenting on a vote that had taken place in my home state of California. Because of her letter, and her involvement in campaigning for a vote that took place outside of her home state, I was interested in finding out exactly who Cherilyn Eagar was and what she stood for. It was surprising to find that she was running for local office in her home state. Intrigued, further digging found that it was not possible to find actual publications for all of the citations for which she claimed authorship. Further research uncovered people who knew her from her time in Connecticut and from performing in a local theater group.
There is no doubt that she is a very dynamic woman with many interesting stories. Although there were many so-called "stories" relayed to me, the only submissions that I have cited are those of her involvement with the Buchanan and Draschil campaigns. As such, the incidents referenced in the update of Mrs. Eagar's Wikipedia pages, are only those that can be referenced in accordance with the current Wikipedia guidelines. Feel free to let me know if there is additional information that is needed in referencing this article. Sunpoppi (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC).
I noticed before that you reverted edits made by User:NufNufNicky on the Josie Lawrence page before. I've changed the article to read that she lives in Hackney as the editor has now provided references to state this. However, the editor has now started a discussion at Talk:Josie Lawrence as to why her edits were reverted. I've explained why I think they were reverted, but thought I would also let you know about this discussion as well.
Fred, you reversed some edits on the Yesterdays page by saying that there are no references. In case of bands the Yesterdays band page progressed a lot since your November 2008 notice(citations and verifications needed). By browsing some wiki pages linked to the Yesterdays (band) page I found the David_Speight page that really does not have ANY references at all and it is left that way in peace. The Yesterdays (band) page has a lot. No offence my friend, I'm just curious about the different ways of treating the pages.
In case of bands I really don't know what kind of citations we need. I've added some links from various reliable sources (there was a discussion on the page about this), Yesterdays had some verifiable activity, they took part on several cd box-sets at Musea Records, etc. etc.

Dear C.Fred,
I have submitted a new article for Calcutta Mathematical Society. I think this one should be free of conflicts. Please let me know if otherwise.
I am still searching for independent sources of references for CalMathSoc. The main problem is that there are not many available. As you might have noticed, though this is an important Mathematical Society, it did not and does not have a web presence to the extent that it should have. I will try to refer a few pages from Wikipedia itself which refer to CalMathSoc in different forms.
I have added as many third party references I could find on this topic. I have also added some links to this page from the related articles in Wikipedia. I hope to find more of these in the future, and will continue updating my article.
Very well put. I was trying to engage the user before they were blocked. Admittedy, my attempt was a bit terse, but I was in a hurry as I had already placed the "final warning" template.

The assertion you made is that Nydahl admitted to abusing his power and sleeping with his students. He did neither, although he did admit to sexual contact with other Buddhists who are not, at the time of the relationship, his students. Note also that that article was previously used as a source and has been removed, which indicate that other editors also object to its inclusion in the article. —C.Fred (talk) 01:44, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
I agree that the article does not say anything about abusing power. The article DOES have O.N. admitting to sleeping with students. That is clearly the premise for his statement. I have read the talk page on the removal of this source and the arguments are not good. I qoute: "The problem with this source isn't that it is a newspaper article, but rather a fairly poorly written piece of editorializing and opining from a person with a clear pre-existing bias against the subject about which he is writing. Similarly 82.13.155.18 seems to have an almost obsessive need to make sure people find out that Ole Nydahl has sex with Diamond Way people. Not really sure what to do about that other than remove the juvenile sounding stuff. Changchub (talk) 21:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)" End of Qoute. I will edit the article to simply say that O.N. is sleeping with his students which he has admitted here, as well as in a Norwegian newspaper. 188.177.18.120 (talk) 14:47, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Cannola
Hi Fred, I noticed that the previous entry under Cannabis Foods was elucidating instructions for a very unsafe practice of amateur rendering of cannabis oil. Cannola is the only safe brand I've been able to find in most legitimate dispensaries. It's labeled with content information and is stated as organic. I'm not promoting their brand, but it's been promoted to me by various cancer and MS patients. I think that the rapid popularization and even legalization of medicinal marijuana calls for the responsible representation of cautionary info as well as information on existing safe and legal products which are quality controlled and available exclusively to patients with valid prescriptions. I'm not a fan of smoking in any form and edibles are the way to go for all MMJ patients. Wiki's lacking greatly on relevant info and posts so just let me know the best way to go about it.
I also noticed that Cannola in Wikipedia redirects to canola and that's just incorrect. If anything, Cannola is literally the plural of Cannoli, but obviously IMO it should point to the Cannola brand. Further, under Cannabis Foods it only refers to a singular oil while there are dozens of varieties and blends which range greatly in smoke point and application.

Walter Martin Article - Controversy Section
C. Fred: The audios the Morgans (graftedin73) claim are "new" have long been a part of the Walter Martin Resource Library. Darlene Martin, the widow of Dr. Walter Martin, is not concerned with the content of the tapes, only with the Morgans' infringement on her copyright. The Morgans were asked privately not to post these audios, and they posted them. They were asked to take these audios down and they refused to do so. They were asked by Mrs. Martin's attorneys to stop infringing on her copyright, and they refused to comply. We respectfully request that Wikipedia remove any quotes from the NMCC class audios.--J. Rische. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.169.211.244 (talk • contribs) 06:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Quotations from the tapes may be usable within Wikipedia's guidelines for non-free content. Linking to the audio files may be problematic. I'll look at the situation in the Walter Ralston Martin article, but I may have to hand it over to a larger panel of users for consideration. —C.Fred (talk) 13:34, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
I see no links to the website where the alleged infringing recordings are present, and the only direct quotation I see is four words long. Unless there's a longer, unattributed direct quotation—which I can't assess without access to the audios—I don't see anything to be removed from the article. —C.Fred (talk) 13:38, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
C Fred: It had been a while since I looked at the article (just scanned it), so if the quotes are down, that's all we were concerned about. Linking to the full audios would be fine, but the current audios are excerpts and therefore, prejudicial. I would like to request that my edits to the controversy section be reverted if possible. I usually did not sign in but I believe there is one post with my username TruthBringsLight. Thank you for monitoring this section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.169.211.244 (talk) 08:15, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, your edits can't be categorically reverted. When you made them, you irrevocably released them under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

I definitely understand that, But for a summary it's quite long and spoils the ending. That's my only argument. QuasyBoy 23:42, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Darrell Dexter
C.Fred, I'm away from the computer for a few days and all hell breaks lose. The Darrell Dexter article is the only one this user mentions on my talk page, so I would say it was that article that upset him. Other than some touchup edits, the only edit he could have taken offence to, had to be my removal of a paragraph which was basically a detailed account of the expenses for one of Dexter's cabinet ministers. (right down to where he ate and how much he spent). I didn't think that Dexter's article was the appropiate article for this info. I know the scandals should be in the article, but to what extent? The subject is Darrell Dexter not Frank Corbett. The info is included in Corbett's article, added by the same user who added it here. To me, it seems Corbett's article is the appropiate place for the info. I do want to thank you for the heads up and reverting the edits tagged as vandalism. If someone was to check my history, they would see that I have not made a single edit that could be considered vandalsim. I spend most of my time here reverting vandalism, and touching up articles per WP:MOS, so to be called a vandal is upseting. I have to say this is the first time anyone ever accused me of being an NDP supporter, but regardless of who I support, I have always edited articles for all parties in a non-partisan manner. I do want to point out that the editor who added Corbett's expenses has reverted back to my edit. Once again, thanks for your help. Cmr08 (talk) 06:55, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
C.Fred, no need to appologize. I was just kind of confused by all of this. This was the last thing I expected to be hit with when I logged on last night. I didn't realize how many of my edits that user had reverted until I got a chance to look thorugh my contributions. Most were just touchups, like commas after dates, or changing from first to last name. Once again, thanks for reverting those edits that should be clear to anyone familiar with wikipedia, not to be vandalism. Cmr08 (talk) 04:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
ABC's_of_Self_Defense page
Hi C.Fred,
ABC's_of_Self_Defense seems to be a page, by the founder, for a company with a website located here: http://www.abcsofselfdefense.com/Training_CDs.htm that apparently sells CDs and possibly other material.

Can you chill out on being a NAZI deleter for a day? My buddy and I are trying to make a page for literally just a day and we will delete it. This page is an on going gag for my wife. We have her believing that the reason a hamburger is called a hamburger is due to "The creator, Charles Hamburger". So seriously can you just give it one day and we will delete it ourselves? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rsredmage (talk • contribs) 15:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Well, I'm not C.Fred, but first, if you are not an administrator, you cannot delete pages (I can't delete pages myself, because I am not an administrator). Also, I am sorry to say that in order to put that Charles Hamburger created it, you must have a reliable source (that means no random blogs that about anyone can post things on). --Hadger 18:54, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey!
Just replying to the sockpuppetry thing on my talk page. Stanwriter (talk·contribs) works in the same office as me, so we'll have the same IP when we're both in the office!
Could you take a quick look at Mbmbmb123456789(talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log) and Blackrican342(talk·contribs·deleted contribs·logs·filter log·block user·block log)? I'm pretty convinced they are the same user, but can't see deleted contributions from Blackrican342 to see if it would help me be certain. If you are certain, I think you should consider blocking one or both accounts. You've warned Mbmbmb123456789 several times, as his contributions have been universally worthless: the kind of unsourced material that requires a lot of AGF before deciding that they aren't intentional hoaxes. The article that Blackrican342 created today smells like an intentional hoax to me.—Kww(talk) 19:09, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. I tagged the article G7 Systems as a G11, but you've switched it to an A7 case. I'm still pretty new to New Page Patrolling, and I was wondering if you could give me some pointers as to when to use each of these (as it seems there's a little overlap). I tagged it as a G11 because I thought it was (quoting from the policy) "exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." Am I being a bit to harsh on the "exclusively promotional" part?-- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 15:09, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
There is a lot of overlap, I agree. From my perspective, it's a matter of what needs done to fix the article. An article tagged G11 could be fixed be rewriting the article in neutral point of view. An article tagged A7 requires more work: beefier claims of notability, pulling in independent sources, and work beyond just a change in tone. So, for the G7 Systems article, both applied; I felt the notability was the bigger fault.
There have been situations in other articles where I've deleted an article with an explanation like "G12/G11/A7 - copyright infringing, strictly promotional text about a company with no significance or importance." Like I said, there is a lot of overlap. —C.Fred (talk) 15:17, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

East Craigs United
Hello, as you have probably read I am new to Wikipedia. I understand that the page was deleted a few days ago and would like you to consider the following.East Craigs United AFC is a genuine football club which I believe should be noted for on the internet. There is no other reference to the team on the internet regarding its history and after increasing support and interest, I believe it merits a wikipedia page. I believe the support should be aware about the clubs history and current situation. Also, as the only football team from the relatively big East Craigs area, I believe that is also a reason to have it on Wikipedia. I would ask that you look upon these reasons with an open mind as the support for the club has increased greatly since it began and even the few days the original article was up I recieved lots of praise for adding it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rossmcleodrfc (talk • contribs) 16:29, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Cherilyn Eagar. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cherilyn Eagar. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

I have some of his books, have read some of his articles, and his writings are quite notable. I would like the article reposted. Please respond.
I hope you're not involved in the fallacy presented in the page above. I have been trying to correct things, and I am not spamming or vandalizing anything.

Andrew Colom
Rscottms (talk) has been in an edit war over adding Andrew Colom to the List of Mississippians article. I've finally had to report him for violating wp:3rr at the Edit waring Ani board. I've tried to be very nice, but he refuses to discuss anything on the articles talk page. His latest revert on that article is technically a 6RR. I think his latest source doesn't not meet any reasonable notability standard, either for Colom or his two magazines. But my patience may be wearing thin. If you have a chance to look into it and opine on theList of Mississippians article, I'd appreciate it.--Work permit (talk) 05:56, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I need help from an admin please
Just so you know, I am not attempting to start a pissing match between you and another admin. But I really need some advice. I have a problem with an admin blatently violating citation rules. (you will see what I mean if you look at a very recent edit of mine that was reverted) I have asked this person in the past for direction as to exactly where a certain Wikipedia rule on something might be, and have been ignored. I just don't know what to do here - but I am getting very frustrated with Wikipedia in general. Rules not enforced, being ignored altogether, or interpreted in a certain way when someone wants to make a point on their pet pages or the way they think things should be. I invite you to look at my editing and my talk page. I have made mistakes, but I have tried very hard to make Wikipedia a good, solid source of information, and tried to weed out the crap that people keep trying to put up. It's very hard when I get told by an admin something is referenced, but in complete violation of Wikipedia rules. Sorry to blether on. If I should shut up, I'll accept that. If I'm in the wrong, please tell me so I can try to be a better editor. But I apparently am not the only one who feels this way about what gets enforced lately and what does not. Thank you.
Also, it might be best for you to answer me here - in case the person I am having the problem with responds on my talk page. I am trying to get an outside opinion from another admin before making a complaint, which I worry could make things worse.

Question
Hello
I would like to ask your opinion about the format that should be used for the localities from Romania with an important Hungarian population
From the Romanian Constitution: http://www.cdep.ro/pls/dic/site.page?den=act2_2&par1=1#t1c0s0a13 "In Romania, the official language is Romanian". Also, According to Local Public Administration Bill (promulgated in 2001): "Where over 20 of the population is of an ethnic minority, all documents of a legal character will be published in the ethnic minorities' mother tongue.".
My opinion is that according to wiki rules Hungarian names should be listed before for example German names, but still in parantheses, in Italics: Romanian_Name (Hungarian: Hungarian_Name, German: German_Name)
Thanks in advance for your answer and sorry if it wasn't a good idea to post this message here (Umumu (talk) 16:37, 24 March 2010 (UTC))

Need your help
Dear C. Fred,
I have noticed that you were involved in the article Chaldean Christians. You have realize that my people are having a war in Wikipedia. I hope you can help me put an end to this war.
I have edited to article to make it as neutral as possible. I have removed any comparison between the two groups in numbers and status. I hope that you can give it a look to see for yourself. I think my edits are working since a user of one of the groups has made only minor changes (User:ܥܝܪܐܩ actually corrected my punctuation and I like his last version of the article). However, I am more than sure there will be others editing it to ignite the war again.
Please give me five minutes of you time and read the article (and my entry in the discussion, if you would). I have faithfully tried to make it neutral. I hope you will use your prerogatives to help me put an end to this ridiculous warring my people are having in Wikipedia.
I do not understand why my page on xnotebooks where deleted? It was very short and very neutral, containing only one line of truth about the company.
Please tell me what I did wrong so that I can correct this mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GeekaNerd (talk • contribs) 00:09, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

The 'Warvey' statement seems to be referring to an outside board I moderate. There is a user there named 'Wharvey', though I already know it isn't him, being as I can see IPs as a moderator. This seems to be some sort of creepy cross-site stalking...thing. I therefore retract the sock-puppet statement; it seems to be something weirder. I've asked the admin of that board to assist me, since there's no way the user could know about the other board (or it's users) unless they've been there. I'm at a loss at to who he is.

I don't know what to think, but the fact that they know the name W(h)arvey suggests this may be someone from the other site, though I couldn't say who; they're a well-behaved bunch. The IP's harassment as such appears to be based on the two articles in question, so it's a fairly easy matter to deal with. It's not like he's wikistalking, just that it's weird.

But I keep finding the biased POV material reapplied, facts deleted, and so forth. How do we resolve this flame war?

Hello
Hello, CFred. I wish to discuss with you urgent and troubling matters that have, alas, been forced to my attention. First of all, note that there is an entire category, actually of Satanist users here; would you take offense at them all, for merely expressing their faith? It is true that some Christians may feel unease towards devil worshippers, yet think you not that those whom hail Satan as Master are as disgusted as them as they are towards Satanists?
If I spoke harshly, it was in haste. I and the Reverend Margolin were tired of Celestialwarden11's edits, and, tolerant as we both were for a time, we kindly and clearly asked this user to perhaps stop edits which cause disruption here. Please, even you agreed, my friend, that my request was not an unreasonable one, did you not? I beg you, I was careless in the past; I shall not make the same mistake again, Fred. But even you must agree that it is possible that Charlesdrakew's report was not a totally reasonable one, must you not? Please, help me resolve this minor matter with speed, and all shall be well again. Besides, the Celestialwarden11 user no longer sends disruptive messages to me, so my own ire may yet be appeased, good friend. Good day, Fred, Iotamikadoshi (talk) 20:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Jeremy Browne Page
C.Fred you have previously helped deal with an edit war on this page. There is now an election campaign here and the local opposition party are seeking to edit this page for campaign purposes. I am happy to leave all editorial decisions in the hands of the wiki editors. You have been a good scrutinizer of harm and undue weight and I would appreciate it if you could keep an eye on this page again for the next few weeks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Milk76 (talk • contribs) 09:34, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
190.31.48.151 is driving me crazy, help!
Dear C.Fred,
I noticed that you have a high reputation on english wikipedia, so i wanted to inform you about it. On article Starstruck (2010 film), i made some changes on Release section. I added my country's release date (Turkey) to the list. But someone with the IP adress 190.31.48.151 keeps deleting it all the time, dont know why i guess he's a racist person or something. Please inform him/her or just ban if you're able to...(now I'm editing it again..)
Is there any need for the report to be continued? I am going anyway, so... Iotamikadoshi (talk) 20:32, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Basketball
Thanks for the help. The basketball edit was my first attempt, so I can use the help in learning how to do a better job in the future. I appreciate the info you provided. I also provided input in the NCAA basketball talk/discussion area. I had originally planned to complete the columns (as they were still incomplete when they were removed) and to double-check the accuracy, but I will now wait to see if there is a consensus on whether to re-insert the columns or not. Regards. J.Remo 00:00, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity
Hello,
The entry "Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity" has been arbitrarily deleted by this user.
Please state the grounds of this deletion, as it is ungrounded.
A conflict of interest has been identified in this user's ("C.fred) profile, by the user being a member of "Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity". As such there are grounds for our determination that the article "Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity" has been deleted in bad faith. Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Actually, if you read the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phi Kappa Pi (fraternity), you'll note that I favoured keeping the fraternity's article. However, community consensus was to delete the article of the fraternity as well as the sorority.
Since the Phi Kappa Pi page that existed at that time was a disambiguation page, and since both of the target articles were deleted, there was no need to keep the disambiguation page. (By contrast, had the fraternity's article survived the deletion nomination while the sorority's was deleted, or vice versa, the surviving article would have been moved from Phi Kappa Pi (fraternity) or Phi Kappa Pi (sorority) to Phi Kappa Pi.) —C.Fred (talk) 00:00, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Is there any way to revive this page, under the new title [[Phi Kappa Pi (fraternity)]!?
Regards,

HM Forever??
Does this count as a source to show that Season 4 is being marketed as Hannah Montana Forever? If so, would you mind if I add it to the Season 4 page? - Alec2011 (talk) 02:07, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Forever is refering to the Season name (search Hannah Montana Forever Promo on Youtube, there's dozens of Videos with Miley as Hannah saying "Hannah Montana Forever" after the announcer says "This Summer, catch the all new Season of Hannah Montana.... Hannah Montana Forever."
That particular website is the count-down to the season 4 premire in July (every Hannah ever made is airing everyday (started April 18 with Episode 1, Monday, episode 2, etc.) that website is a look back at Hannah over the years leading up to the Season 4 premire). - Alec2011 (talk) 02:24, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
LoL
Oh LoL if that's not Ragusino - I'm Ming the Merciless, Emperor of Mongo. :) This has got to be his fifteenth sock by now, doing the exact same edits on the exact same articles over and over and over again... Nobody even edits those articles anymore apart from him (and me :). Its gotten so nobody bothers to check the socks anymore, they're just blocked out of hand, its that completely obvious.
His names are also a dead giveaway each time. This is yet another Croatian language word: "Kruske". Its supposed to be spelled "Kruške", meaning "pears" (for some reason), but the guy's from Italy and does not have the letter "š" on his keyboard. Trust me? :) --DIREKTOR(TALK) 00:18, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
A home recording was chosen by this artist. It wasn't something done mandatory. After years of traveling the world in the band The Goodwill, Travis Johnides received offers from labels national and international to put out a solo album. After missing his love of recording as he did when he was young (recording in his own studio- this WASN'T RECORDED ON A TAPE RECORDER- RATHER AT HIS OWN STUDIO AT HOME), he did just that. He has had upward of a thousand downloads (across the world) of his debut EP in less than 48 hours.
This is a legit act, not a kid recording on a tape recorder. This is band with choices, options, a reputation, and fans.

The whole DC Barah, Author thing
Hello Fred. thank you for the advice. I have noticed that pretty much anyone can change my article yes? Maybe you can help me. Can you teach me how to tell the difference between posts or changes by admins and ones by vandals or a wanna-be?Rotsap (talk) 06:05, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi again, if you can tell, I did not remove any of the info immediately. I was searching around some help posts and traced back the deletion nomination to someone who's "who I am" info showed that they were not an administrator. Seems every user makes themselves out to be a big wig here. Sorry. If I need to put it back I suppose I can figure out how to do so. What do you think?Rotsap (talk) 06:11, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Have you noticed that DC Barah is not a person? DC Barah is an entity. Do you have policies governing the notability of an entity or "Pen-Name"Rotsap (talk) 06:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Would it be too much to ask you to share a particular link about just who you are C Fred? I will look around your user links to see what official user level you operate at and forgive me if you really are an administrator but this doesn't exactly feel like a welcome to someone new and learning it's feeling more like a stonewall. I also think you are mistaken when You claim anyone can possibly have a conflict of interest with a pen name. I am sorry if I am coming off a little abrasive. I want to be more polite but why are you continuing to quote irrelevant policy to me?Rotsap (talk) 06:22, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Ok thanks Now we're talkin turkey. I understand what you are saying yet still contend that the only relevance my article is supposed to have is the history of who is or what is DC Barah. Answered simply by it's so and so's pen-name. Why is this notable? Many reasons, the entity DC Barah appears in blogs, articles of purpose, corporation documents not for profit work etc. etc. etc. you see why I am blown away over what is such a big deal about one paragraph this particular thing makes on Wikipedia? If anything it should even be seen as a way to say hey, your names out there we knooow who you are so behave well in business you get what I mean C Fred?Rotsap (talk) 06:32, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Nice literalism C Fred. Honestly, this has been more trouble then it's worth I think. I will just have to hope for a consensus to build itself on the merits of the piece alone. To argue on articles of this matter is foolish... For Me I mean! lol I knew that from the start, it's just that separation of article and submitter is not absolute, I just hoped that this was one of many that have gone before as exceptions to the general rules. Anyway, if the majority hate it, I think I'd be crazy to push the issue. I've spent waaay too much time on it already anyway and we both know we have better things to do than beat dead horses. You and I as well as anyone else who would need to weigh in on the matter enough to keep it. So thanks C Fred maybe we'll chat again sometime. Cheers you seem like a straight up guy and I appreciate that. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:SignaturesRotsap (talk) 06:51, 25 April 2010 (UTC)] comment added by Rotsap (talk • contribs) 06:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Check the [Zamora disambiguation page], you are doing a mess with the footballer Alejandro Zamora Barbero and Alejandro Zamora the pianist, so please don't undo my changes again.
Well, that might be a bit hard. Karate Clubs in the former Yugoslavia are quite known - like for example Karate Klub Partizan, Karate Klub Zvezda, and Karate Klub Bosna. The problem is that it gets difficult to find much reporting on them online. What do you suggest happens next? I already got two articles from a local newspaper over there. (LAz17 (talk) 04:28, 28 April 2010 (UTC)).
I also found this, [9] (LAz17 (talk) 04:30, 28 April 2010 (UTC)).
Hm, which search engine do you usually use? I was on yahoo usually but last year I went with google 'cause yahoo got aesthetically uglier with their design changed. But I also found this, [10] - I can read the serbocroatian writing... the webstie karate-zveza.si is the slovenian karate federation site.

AWB
That's weird. I just spot-checked ten other messages I just sent, and there were no other similar issues. I'll keep an eye out for any other ones. I don't think that that has happened on here page before in previous months' newsletter deliveries. Anyway thanks for correcting it and alerting me. --Happy editing!

Hi
As per a paraphrased quote from you "users have the privilege of removing what they like from their talk pages" However, I'm not going to remove it as I'm sure you wont hesitate to block me. What exactly is true here? Can I not remove it because it's an IP talk page? Or are you just personally mad because someone from this IP made an account and bugged you? I'm sure you will delete this comment and then ban me if I try to revert it. (98.222.182.133 (talk) 05:13, 3 May 2010 (UTC))
Good point. I would have (re-)removed the message myself, had you not done so. However, I have now made a notation that the IP is a possible alternate account of User:Stickstickley—which is the content in my warning that was relevant. —C.Fred (talk) 05:22, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Sound completely reasonable to me. I made a comment the other day to my room mates that since the ultimate fighter is currently in progress I need to check out the wiki for it and see how much vandalism is taking place, as UFC and retro video games are the only articles that I ever paid attention to as far as editing goes. I was then scoffed at by one of my room mates who said "Yah, good luck with that" and then I said I will just make an account then, which i was greeted with another scoff and another halfhearted wish of luck. I didn't mean to single you out, I was already in a bad mood last night and was just seeing if I was going to be able to make an edit without it being automatically assumed as vandalism. This is the only internet access I have tangible to me for quite a distance since school is out for the semester. Once this new account ban expires or I am able to get to another internet connection I will create an account and no longer worry about others on this IP. Until then if you notice edits from this IP as far as the topic of UFC and retro video games go, it SHOULDN'T be vandalism, but again you seem like a great editor on here so I'm sure you will know the difference between someone trying to edit and someone vandalizing. Again, I will get my own account so this isn't an issue. I just know UFC 113 is comming up and a a couple episodes of the ultimate fighter will be playing during the duration of this account creation block, and I've always corrected vandalism and complete lies on these articles. Again, no disrespect was intended. (67.176.145.22 (talk) 18:02, 3 May 2010 (UTC))
I also have no idea why my IP address changed today. (67.176.145.22 (talk) 18:04, 3 May 2010 (UTC))
Ah, it's because I'm not connected through the router, I will change that so It's not assumed I am abusing proxies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.145.22 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
