Varsity Inc

Hi there-- I'm a nursing student looking for some information related to high school students and undiagnosed traumatic brain injuries and was wondering if the page for Varsity Inc could be made accessible? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.2.88.178 (talk) 04:32, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

deletion of WUWM from Wikipedia

To whom it may concern, the nonprofit association World Union of Wholesale Markets (WUWM) entry has at some stage been deleted from Wikipedia. Following the deletion link brings me to you here.

I would like to understand why this entry was deleted. It was created in reference and follow-up to a United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) article which explained what food wholesaling and food markets are (and WUWM collaborated with FAO colleagues at the time with regard to that article). WUWM is the only world entity to bring together nations and cities in support of, and promotion of, food markets. WUWM membership is mostly municipal management of wholesale and retail food markets. WUWM aims to help local and national authorities in their goal to provide a better service to the many millions of traders and consumers buying food from their local market. Local authorities, millions of small market traders, and the representative body for those markets - WUWM clearly do not have the logistical possibility or resources of 'supermarkets' to pay for mega advertising of a 'brand' name. Is that why our entry - and not those entries - are deleted from Wikipedia?

Traditional food markets are the oldest community service to be offered citizens, and are vital to the health not only of local economies and communities but also local food production the world over. There is much ignorance about the true and original meaning of the word 'market' in our world today. Please could you explain why you have taken the position of deleting us from Wikipedia? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.160.86.71 (talk) 08:14, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

codeBeamer

Hi RHaworth, I just ended up on the page list of revision control software and realized that our page codeBeamer was deleted. I think your action is unfair since you didn't delete any other company from that list. Can you please explain why you decided to delete only and exclusively us but no other company with similiar entry? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvaIntland (talk • contribs) 11:33, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Curious that you should come to me - the only thing I deleted was a redirect at CodeBeamer (software). The substantive article was deleted according to the decision at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CodeBeamer. I will admit that the calls for deletion in that discussion were not exactly clamorous but kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your product is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:58, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I previously used this page as a reference point for an ALM study I made for one of my clients, with CodeBeamer presented as the tool of choice. I found the page informative and useful, just to discover that CodeBeamer entry ... has been deleted! Is there any chance to get the page back? Thank you for your understanding; Nae Alecu — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.177.215.186 (talk) 13:10, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

  • I cannot imagine why you could possibly need Codebeamer for a study of an alm but you don't need to explain. Of course you have no connection with EvaIntland. You knew intuitively that the page you wanted would be at CodeBeamer (software) rather than CodeBeamer. Hence you asking me rather than Joe Decker (talk · contribs).
Re your "only and exclusively us", please see this AfD discussion which lists Gemini (issue tracking system), IssueNet, BugTracker.NET and Cerebro (software) as other equally non-notable products whose articles have been deleted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:41, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, if codeBeamer was deleted because it was classified as a "non notable" product, please explain your own rule about Wikipedia:Notability_(software) - 4.Nominating for deletion states that "Simply stating "non notable" and "unreferenced" is not a valid criteria for deletion". Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvaIntland (talk • contribs) 12:53, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

  • The rule you cite should be self-explanatory. But what has it got to do with anything? Your article was deleted after this AfD discussion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:39, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Fort Saskatchewan/Fort Mall

Hi. You deleted Talk:Fort Saskatchewan/Fort Mall as CSD G8. It had been restored and tagged with a {{Copied}} – see its counterpart at the top of Talk:Fort Saskatchewan – to attribute this merger. Following Fort Mall's deletion at WP:Articles for deletion/Fort Mall, User:Milowent asked the closing admin User:Arbitrarily0 to restore and move it at User talk:Arbitrarily0/Archive/2010/May-June#Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fort Mall.

Bibliography of Aeolian Research: A

Hi User:RHaworth. The bibliography article was placed in the public domain by the United States Department of Agriculture, and I linked to the license on the talk page. I was pretty sure that was sufficient to prevent speedy deletion. Am I missing something? Thanks, Lesser Cartographies (talk) 08:11, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

And while we're here, I'll point out that WP:Listcruft is specifically prohibited from being used as a rationale for speedy deletion. See WP:NOTCSD #14. I'll start up the deletion review. — Lesser Cartographies (talk) 08:36, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Ok, sounds good. Let's see if I can figure out the official notice template, just for gins.... ok, I think that's right. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 09:31, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Bibliography of Aeolian Research A. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 09:31, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Eh, I spoke too soon. I can see the deletion review request here (Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 July 20) but not here (Wikipedia:Deletion review). Can you see which bit of wikimagic I forgot to incant? Thanks. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 09:50, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Now moot. I expect we got the right result, perhaps for the wrong reasons, and that's not a bad day at the office. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 20:00, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Dead language, spoken in Ermita, Manila

The article Dead language, spoken in Ermita, Manila has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

it is an unused and unreasonably long redirect

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

ALGOL 68G

Extended content
Hi RHaworth,

re: wikify: First I - tongue-in-cheek - apologise for only providing a dead link to the ALGOL 68G page concerned... sadly the page was speedy deleted... :-)

Notwithstanding: I am here because I note the page ALGOL 68G is gone... archive.org, and without a AfD

I reviewed the two criteria required to be meet for a WP:G11 speedy delete:

There seems to raise a question about what "Unambiguous" means...

Let me address the two points in G11, one-by-one.

  1. - "Pages that are exclusively promotional, AND would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic."
    • IMHO: The article is/was encyclopedic... simply describing features/extensions and deviations. Undoubtedly merely having an ALGOL 68G article on wikipedia could have the consequence of bringing some attention to the topic (indeed any topic). But that does not make the content un-encyclopedic, when the content is/was indeed encyclopedic, all-be-it boring and technical (to most).
  2. - "If a subject is notable and the content can be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion"
    • IMHO: I can see no page text/content that is/was fails Wikipedia:NPOV... and, even if there was offending content a speedy-deletion has curtailed any chance to fix such NPOV fails.
  3. "Note: An article about a company or a product which describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion."
    • Hmm... IMHO the article is also saved be this third G11 keep criteria... which only would mean the article should now be restored.

The "speedy deletion" did cite "08:51, 27 November 2005 Lucky 6.9 (talk · contribs) deleted page ALGOL 68G" from Deletion log: ALGOL 68G. It seems to me the detail the page was previously deleted some 10 years ago is a distraction and even potentially misleading.

So... I am suggesting that the page was actually removed in error. Probably the deletion could have passed through the regular AfD process, I am sure that AfD has a Smörgåsbord of other means of rationalising removing articles, especially as ALGOL 68G does not commonly appear in Popular Culture.

For the record and background: ALGOL 68G is the most recent implementation and - IMHO - most comprehensive implementation of ALGOL 68. This has given ALGOL 68G a degree of notoriety in various blog circles... e.g. Rosetta_Code, but do bear in mind that I am also a member of some of these blog communities, hence I am not exactly neutral.

Aside: I do sometimes ponder if entire chunks of wikipedia knowledge have "fallen off the edge" simply because the actual topic contributors do not log into to Wikipedia within the 1-2 week AfD cycle or the speed-delete cycle. My estimate is such experts topic contributors would only lookup/logon to wikipedia with a frequency of less than once a year. So it is rare that an topic contributor would actually get a timely alerted of an AfD or a "speedy-delete".

Ultimately I recommend the ALGOL 68G article should be restored, and kept, and then only deleted if there is an outstanding reason delete it via a reasoned AfD.

So:

Please consider a restore of ALGOL 68G. — NevilleDNZ (talk) 03:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

My netbook, even zoomed out at 75%, can't fit the whole post on to my screen. Even at full screen! Be satisfied with what's present at ALGOL 68.--Launchballer 19:59, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
  • You talk too much. I had no hesitation in deleting the article because despite it having been around for eight (!) years, no one had found any indepenent evidence that it even exists, still less, that it is notable. I have emailed you the text. If, and only if, you can provide decent refs, re-submit via the AfC process. If it actually gets accepted, ask me or any other admin to restore the old version so that the text gets proper attribution. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:19, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Thankyou for your cheerful and encouraging response. It still remains strange to me that you deleted the article with WP:G11, when neither of the two WP:G11 deletion criteria are satisfied. And when I take a moment to point this out I get told ... "You talk too much." Sad. I agree with you that the references were weak, but when the page was create "eight (!) years" ago when weak references were common. A stub-marker and an email-alert to the contributors could have made the difference between article life and article extinction. Please, next time, think thrice.

The eBay Effect

Extended content
*Beth, Mary. "What's Hot at the Antiques Roadshow". Kiplinger. Retrieved 2014-07-22.

Call it the eBay effect. Once-scarce items now flood the online auction sites, tipping the scales of supply and demand and diluting values. Throw in the impact of the economic downturn -- during which some folks desperately scoured their attics and basements in search of anything to sell that could help them pay their bills -- and the result is a perfect storm: a decline in prices for most collectibles and antiques.

"The eBay Effect - Inside a Worldwide Obsession" is the latest production from the Peabody Award winning CNBC Documentary team and reporter David Faber. It's an unprecedented look at the eBay you don't know, with exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the world's leading online commerce site.

The eBay Effect In general, eBay has not been kind to “old-line” record collecting. ...

The eBay Effect article (not invented). — Septagram (talk) 03:48, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

May satisfy WP:GNG. Do bear in mind that not all your sources are reliable per my annotations; Wordpress sites are WP:SPSs, Anandtech.com may be reliable but forums are not; Google.com/url? is blacklisted, and the site that ref redirected to you had already listed and Popmatters.com doesn't have the fact-checking of other websites.--Launchballer 12:39, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
  • One can only wonder at the mentality of someone who puts a totally unreferenced stub into article space and then litters this page with links. Since no request was made, no reply is required to Septagram. Launchballer, this sort of behaviour is not to be encouraged. I have emailed you the text. If you think the subject is notable, feel free to put these refs up in a proper place. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:42, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

You could say thank you for taking the time trying to create an article that may be useful... Then make a few suggestions to us inexperienced users on how to do things correctly. — Septagram (talk) 17:02, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

  • You litter this page with external links but you feel that none are needed in the article itself. Why? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:41, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Verbal Jint

Hello, I was interested in creating a page for the South Korean musician Verbal Jint and the notice on the page said I should contact you before (re)creating one for more information. The WP:A7 designation seems to have more to do with the content of the previous article than with the subject himself and I believe my draft surpasses those requirements. Here is my draft: User:Asdklf;/Verbal Jint. I wasn't really sure how to go about this, but I hope this message is satisfactory. Thank you for your time! — Asdklf; (talk) 17:54, 22 July 2014 (UTC) Asdklf;

  • The version I deleted was devoid of references. You have swung to the other extreme and provided an excess. Probably safe to simply move your draft into article space. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:41, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Wikicology (talk) 01:03, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

By that logic, I would have a COI if I edited Oliver Cromwell, eh? (Feeling somewhat Canadian this morning.) --Demiurge1000 (talk) 04:48, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

@Demiurge: What are you insinuating?--Wikicology (talk) 08:44, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

  • I know it may be difficult but please do not provide links to en.m.wikipedia.org - it was not simple to translate your link above into this link. I don't understand Demiurge's ref to Cromwell either. But the point we are both making is that for a member of X university to write about its vice-chancellor is just not COI so will you please stop fussing over this matter. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:41, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Removed Armenian Article

Hi Why you have removed this article - Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Արծրուն Հովհաննիսյան? What was wrong? Also I am very curious do you know Armenian? Because right now we have conflict with Azerbaijan, and I suspect that you have been corrupted by them to remove this page. Albert — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albertpo (talk • contribs) 08:16, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Please learn how to create links. Brilliant and laughable! Your attitude is: "it cannot possibly be something I have done, the admin must be biassed". In fact it was you who requested the deletion: on 2014-01-30 17:20:37 you blanked the page with an edit summary of "sorry wrong language". You knew then that you were in the wrong wiki but you seem to have forgotten. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:41, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello Sir Today when I was trying to update the draft of SpeedRead, in my userspace it was not there. In notification section I got this message- "[[[No page]]] was reviewed by RHaworth" and the date was 29 July. I tried to go through your contributions to confirm but couldn't find it. Please let me know why it was deleted and also send me the data of the article so that I may make necessary changes. Thanks -- Satyam 'Sats' (talk) 16:28, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Difflinks examples

User:Sonia De Lorraine

I've restored the user page at Sonia De Lorraine - you need to at least give users a slight chance to make some article edits before deleting their user pages under U5. The user was experimenting with the editing tools on their user page before using those tools to edit articles. That seems like eminently sensible behaviour to me, and deleting a new user's userpage like that seems unnecessarily WP:BITE-y. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 09:47, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

  • I did hesitate before deleting her user page but given that she has been given nine months chance to make article edits, I think my deletion was right. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:39, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

I see that you have now blocked that account. This is problematic for three reasons:

  1. You enabled autoblock, so the user can now no longer edit from any account using that IP address.
  2. You didn't leave a note on either of the accounts involved, so the user probably has no idea what is going on.
  3. The user listed the other account on their user page, and there was no attempt to deceive using either account, so per WP:SOCK this is not sockpuppetry in the first place.

Would you consider unblocking the account and leaving a note on both user talk pages? There would likely have been no problem if you had done this in the first place rather than blocking straight away. Also, regarding the user page deletion, there is nothing wrong with making a user page, making a few edits to it, and then leaving it for a long period of time. Plenty of users do this and then come back to make occasional edits to articles (perhaps only once every several months, or even years). Deleting these user pages will only put these people off contributing to the site. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 17:52, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

  • I have removed the autoblock and left messages. If she asks for an unblock, I shall consider it. But why are you bothering? Do you actually believe that she is going to start making useful contributions? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:51, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
If You think the 'Lady' is slow in her movement towards the usability You desire, why didn't You offer her Your help in the first place? Manorainjan (talk) 22:51, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
Hi Roger. I'd also like to add my voice to those requesting that you reconsider this block. Aside from anything else, I don't believe this even qualifies as abuse of multiple accounts - User:The LadySoniaLorraine last edited in November, and User:Sonia De Lorraine has only recently become active. The original account was not blocked when the new account was created, and there has been no crossover in their edits; this would seem to me more like a mistaken attempt at a clean start than a deliberate attempt to circumvent Wikipedia policy. Based on this OTRS ticket (I'm not sure whether you have OTRS access or not) there may also be some doubt that this is even the same person, depite the similarities in username - certainly it would appear that she doesn't now have access to the The LadySoniaLorraine account, if she ever did.
I'd therefore encourage you to reconsider this block; I'm happy to do the button pressing if you'd rather not do so yourself, but obviously I'd like to square it with you first. Cheers, Yunshui 雲水 07:30, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
Actually, hold off for the time being - her last email to OTRS contained a pretty unambiguous legal threat, so until that's resolved I can't condone unblocking her account. Yunshui 雲水 09:46, 5 August 2014 (UTC) Legal threat has been withdrawn. Yunshui 雲水 10:30, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
Roger - I offered to help Yunshui with the ticket in question, and I was wondering if you would be OK with me unblocking the "main" account and blocking the other one, and let's see where that takes us. I'd be happy to monitor the user for a good while. I think we are dealing with some CIR issues here, but I have a feeling that simply unblocking the account will help enormously. I defer to your decision of course, I just wanted to ask before engaging the user further via OTRS. Thank you! §FreeRangeFrogcroak 18:21, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Please always use links when using wikijargon - CIR is not in my working vocabulary - I had to look it up. But a lot more than competence is required. I still see no evidence of a desire to contribute to the encyclopedia. Also, bare paranoia - to react like that to my perfectly mild request for details of intentions. To save the woman from an heart attack, I will stay totally away from now on. I authorise you, @Mr. Stradivarius, @Yunshui or any other admin to do whatever they want. I shall come back in six months time to grovel unreservedly for my attacks on someone who, with your gentle nurturing, has turned into a useful contributor. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:43, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Nevermind that. The subsequent exchange over email convinced me there would be no case no benefit to the project in unblocking. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 17:04, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Deleted Article recovery

Hello, I want to publish an article about a company I work for Xeltek Inc and I saw a previous article was deleted in 2012 because: (A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject). This is a Global leader company in its industry that has more than 20 years of history so I would like to know how did we fail to indicate the significance of the subject, other companies of the sector have article in Wikipedia. This is a technology company that manufacturers programmers and works on developing technology,it also publish valuable information on electrical engineering and programming. I would like to write an informational article about the company, its history and its trademark registered line product. I can provide with multiple secondary sources validating any information mention on the article. Please let me know what do I need to do to publish the article under this name.

Deletions

Could you spare a moment to check the history when deleting an article as an "unambiguous" copyvio when the copyvio content was added a few days prior to an article with a ten-year edit history? I spent a long time removing cleaning up copyvios from the World Resources Institute article history before, and I now have to start from scratch if I want to do it again, since there's no way to distinguish old from new deletions. I spent a couple hours combing through the edit history to distinguish good from bad. Spending a few seconds checking the article's history would have been nice. Guettarda (talk) 21:54, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, but that wasn't what I meant - there are still a lot of copyvio material, both from this edit and another (which stayed in the article far too long and was subsequently modified quite a bit). Still need to go through a lot of old edits to clean up old copyvios from the history. But I'll see about it. — Guettarda (talk) 22:06, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Finkers

13:03, 6 August 2014 RHaworth (talk | contribs) deleted page User:Fintpcontributor/sandbox/FINkers United (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). Dear Sir, I am writing in reply to this notification stating that you have deleted this article. This page should not have been deleted because it aims no commercial advantages. Its purpose is to define and describe an open-source community, having behind a non-profit association, developing the FinTP open-source project. We cannot call this blatant advertising, as no commercial advantages are aimed. It is purely informative, as this is the first project of this kind in FinTech in the world. People should be able to find out about it, just like they do about Linux for example, because this project has international relevance and it is meant to achieve financial harmonization between diverse and even geographically dispersed areas. This community has teh purpose of attracting industry professionals to volunteer to enrich and fine-tune an application that can be used in many scenarios, spanning from providing financial inclusion for the unbanked to automating business flows of banks and financial institutions at large. Its distribution license being GPL v3 we do not see any reason why this cannot be the subject of a wikipedia article. Please let us know what paragraphs do not comply with some of wikipedia's guidelines. That article was created in the user sandbox and I have also submitted the articles through the articles for creation process in order to be able to discuss and explain if case. If pages like Fedora are on Wikipedia, I don't see why the page of a new open source community cannot be.

Dear Mr. RHaworth, I am creating a company's profile on Wikipedia and I can see my previous one has been deleted. Now I am working on an another one with the similar content and the same name. If I go to google, I can see that the La perin page has been deleted. But on the Wikipedia site I can still open the one which I created after deleting the first one. Please, could you explain me, how to use the last created version of La Perin page for google search engine?

  • Google crawls new Wikipedia items with frightening rapidity but it forgets deleted stuff much more slowly. If you confuse Google by using both lower case and upper case P, then you are going to get confusing results when you query Google. Amazing: despite 50 edits to La Perin you had not managed to add any external links or provide evidence of notability. But kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks the company and its founder are notable and writes about them here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:40, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
