== Draft - David Humphreys ==
Dear Tony (if I may so call you)

I was a little perplexed at your 'speedy deletion' of my draft article on Bach's Four Duetti, partly because I was still working on it and I do think you might have waited to judge it in a finished state. There is no article on the Four Duetti as such, though there is on on the publication (Bach's Dritter Theil der Clavierübung) which contains them. I am sorry you find it 'unsalvageably incoherent and I am of course open to any suggestions. I submitted it because it does contain material on the Duetti, including an explanation of their function which does not appear in the main article. The title would have been 'Bach, Four Duetti' or similar.

Contacting me

I prefer to communicate via talk pages. Please only email me if there is a good reason not to conduct a conversation on a talk page. I do not respond to emails regarding link deletions and other issues that should be discussed on your userpage or the article talk page.

Thank you.

Why did you remove my external links?

If you've come here because you want to know why I removed some external links you've added, please read Wikipedia's policies on spam, Wikipedia external link guidelines and conflict-of-interest first. Because of Wikipedia's popularity, it has become a target for folks looking to promote their sites, which is against Wikipedia policies. If you read WP:SPAM and still feel that your link(s) does not violate those policies, let me know.

One common argument I hear is But so-and-so link is on that article, and it's commercial! WP:EL doesn't explicitly forbid In links to commercial sites; it depends on the notability of the link, its content, and if it's a reference or a notable pro/con argument on a controversial subject, etc. On the other hand, I think that many Wikipedians would agree that there are way too many commercial links at present time, so feel free to "prune away" if the link doesn't meet guidelines in WP:EL. Incidentally, if you've come here to complain that I've deleted links to your blog (especially a blog with advertising), don't bother. You'll have to find free advertising somewhere else. A good Google search will reveal plenty of places for that sort of thing.

Vandalism and insults left here will be recycled in the bit bucket. Remember: be nice!

Blatant and unashamed refactoring of another editor's talk page post

I decided that this was one of the rare occasions when changing another editor's post is reasonable. Please reprimand me severely if you disagree. (Incidentally, the editor knows full well that evading a block by using sockpuppets is unacceptable, having been told that in his guise as other sockpuppets.) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:48, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would we call that a time out? Thank you for correcting my finger slip. Yes, I know that he has been told on other accounts' pages, but he had not been so warned on this one and he hopes, if unblocked, to make this one his only page. So it was for the record, and to create continuity.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:01, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I quite often post a large chunk of explanation on a blocked editor's talk page about stuff which I know full well he or she has already been told. My comments are ostensibly addressed to that editor, but in fact they are there as a record to help other editors who may need to know, such as administrators reviewing unblock requests. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:39, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I was strongly tempted not to refactor your post, not because of a misplaced reverence for Wikipedia's talk page guidelines, but because the idea of creating an account to avoid a clock seemed like a pretty amazing idea, and worth preserving. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 18:42, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

Hey, I am a new editor on wikipedia. I already have submitted 2 drafts of general use. This time, i am also writing about on page optimization, if you may see my draft. In meantime i am learning how to use externel reliable sources and for that i used my clinic from where i am taking treatment and what resources for reliabilty i saw i used them. It's ok if you delete my draft article but why have you deleted my user page. It's not ustified. Plese revert your commited action. i want to complete my draft and be continued with wikipedia. Meenakshi Rana (talk) 08:28, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The reasons for the deletion of your articles are contained in the deletion notifications; I understand that this is clear to you. You are correct in saying that I deleted your userpage; it has also been deleted, prior to my action, by another admin. The reason is straightforward, and is completely justified. A userpage is intended to be a page on which you may, if you wish, post details about your activities, hopes, expectations, skills, interests, etc., as they relate to your editing within Wikipedia. It is also acceptable to include brief biographical details. We do not want to know about your past or present employment, your family history, your education, etc. The page is about you as a Wikipedia editor only. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:33, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Re-Submitting Content for a deleted page

Hello, I created a page and submitted it for approval but it was declined, and deleted. The message I received is: If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below. The deleted page was Draft: AutoBuy, and I have new content for that page to submit. I wanted to contact you as it said to first contact the person who deleted the page. Should I just go ahead and resubmit my content? It will be different, more neutral content. Thanks in advance for your help. Crystalhartwell (talk) 03:43, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have revisited your draft. As previously submitted it is grossly promotional in phraseology, and would need a total re-draft to be acceptable. Eliminating all the adjectives would be a good start, although not in itself adequate. Do you have a commercial relationship with this company?--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:10, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. May I submit the revised content (I understand about eliminating adjectives, but not just that will make it adequate)? Should I go back to the original draft page and resubmit, or start a new page? Many thanks again. Crystalhartwell (talk) 18:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Recommend starting afresh. In my opinion the original draft is beyond redemption. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 18:12, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much. I re-submitted for AutoBuy. I hope I did it correctly. Eager to make any further changes to the new content in order to have it approved. Many thanks in advance.Crystalhartwell (talk) 18:07, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding inappropriate deletion of CSQ Research Canadian Think Tank website at csq1.org

Can I ask you to restore this Canadian Think Tank listing page please? I have explained politely citing facts, that Deb's assessments of: A7 No Importance - Does not apply. Economics, Government Policy, Politics, World Peace NGO Organizations are discussed in more than 150 pages of researched articles and books at this website. Content exceeds sites of other Canadian Think-tanks two or three-fold; and G11 - Unambiguous advertising or promotion - Does not apply. The site documents Worthwhile Venture Impact Campuses, Transition Economics, Maturity Modelling for Government Policy Globally, Certification Programs for Projects Mgmt & Technology Investment, and articles also support Wiki documentation in Economics, Kondratiev Waves, World Peace and others. I just noticed the deletion and question why these very subjective points were not raised for many much more trivial sites presented as Canadian Think Tanks by Wikipedia - Do you have the content text that I added here in May?

I do not see any text by you in May, on this or indeed any other topic. The article you mention appears to have been created by you in late June of this year, and consists of some three lines only; it mentions none of the things you list in your message to me, and does not appear, from the text, to possess any encyclopedic notability. Had I come across it I would have deleted it, but in fact I did not; it was deleted by Admin Deb. It follows that I am not prepared to restore it. You are entirely at liberty to ask the delting admin. If you do so it will save time if you sign you post, which you did not do in your post to me. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 23:03, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted userpage

Dude, did you even check the page? Or just hit delete? I went through the requirements for a users page and hit them all. Seriously...

You will note that I repositioned, and correctly titled, your unsigned message. To answer your question, yes, I read the whole page. It absolutely does not fulfill the requirements of a userpage. The personal data appropriate are your skills, intentions, aspirations, expectations, etc. in the context or your editing within wikipedia. Your expertise on kettlebells, which is obviously important to you, is of no interest here; and your editing work on Wikipedia, be it past, present or future is not mentioned. I suggest that you review the userpage requirements, which you say you have gone through. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:03, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
On reflection I will concede that the second sentence of your deleted page is within policy requirements; it is, however, the only one which is. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:17, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anthony, you deleted a page I created for Sheikh Tarik. He paid me to create the page hence the content is almost the same.

Regarding the Speedy deletion of Chlara Page

Dear Anthony,

I just get shocked today that i received the message about the Speedy deletion of Chlara Page, it claimed"A tag has been placed on Chlara requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.discogs.com/artist/4457401-Chlara. "The wording is similar because i'm the person who also managing the discogs artist profile. And i have all the right to post the information about Chlara because im the person who hired by her record company to edit her profile, instead the information of Chlara in other language is partly WRONG!

Chlara's page is not just for us. Its also for her fans or new fans that who listened her facebook live streaming/ public performance and more performance to know more about her! Therefore, if anything i can do better or you want me to show more sources and evidence to prove my right to all my wordings, please let me know and give me and Chlara a chance to be on Wikipedia, make Chlara's page to the public again.

Dear Anthony,

I see Wikipedia's point and i will discuss with my boss and send the required documents, since im just employed as a part-time staff, it takes time to communicate to my boss. Please hold the Chlara page and we will do that as soon as possible. Thank You!

Very Sorry about that, the situation is that im the part time staff of the company evomg and the boss is often here, and my English is not really good but i tried to understand it. My question is that if i want to activated my Chlara Post i need to send a "statement of permission"(Which is the template from wiki) to make my Chlara content available? And do i need to provide more statement to prove that? Very sorry about my confusion.Josearce3 (talk) 02:13, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mehrdad 12 and Sockpuppetry associated with User:History of Persia / User: Artin Mehraban

There is an issue with User:Mehrdad 12. A friend of mine stumbled upon this historically innaccurate map (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:131Etendue_de_l%27Empire_Fran%C3%A7ais1.png) added to a the French colonial empire page. It was created by the afforementioned user. User:Mehrdad 12 has accounts on the Persian Wikipedia as well as Wiki Commons. He freqently falsifies image edits and contributions without sources and adds his self created images to articles. Most of his edits have been reverted by me, or others such as User: LouisAragon. I feel his image edits in particular are damaging to the integrity and mission of Wikipedia and Media Wiki.

I have a good reason to suspect that this is User: Artin Mehraban who formerly had a sockpuppet account as User:History of Persia. The MO is very similar. Bad English, no reason for edits, false information, and focus on revising Persian History, "Afsharia"("Mehrdad 12" associates with this on the Persian Wiki, and "Artin Mehraban" edited this article on the Persian Wiki) and image editing without sources. I also should point out that the name is very similar (Mehrdad v Mehraban.) I am bringing this to your attention because i believe action needs to be taken to block the account based on the history of edits. -- User:R9tgokunks (gespraec) 04:54, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This sockpuppetry appears to already have been noted and acted upon; both accounts you mention are checkuser-blocked. as to the map in Commons; I am not an admin, or even an editor, there. I take your point about the map, and suggest that you take the matter up within the Commons framework. Obviously, of course, I have no authority within the Persian Wikipedia.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:55, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed speedy delete tag

Hello! Please, could you explain why you removed the speedy delete tag from this sandbox? The author has not edited it since 2008, and is not present in enwiki for five years.

Miscellaneous

  • Over the last few months, several users have reported backlogs that require administrator attention at WP:ANI, with the most common backlogs showing up on WP:SPI, WP:AIV and WP:RFPP. It is requested that all administrators take some time during this month to help clear backlogs wherever possible. It should be noted that AIV reports are not always valid; however, they still need to be cleared, which may include needing to remind users on what qualifies as vandalism.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative is conducting a survey for English Wikipedia contributors on their experience and satisfaction level with Administrator’s Noticeboard/Incidents. This survey will be integral to gathering information about how this noticeboard works (i.e. which problems it deals with well and which problems it struggles with). If you would like to take this survey, please sign up on this page, and a link for the survey will be emailed to you via Special:EmailUser.

About deleted userpage

Hello, I created a page and submitted it for approval but it was declined, and deleted. I attempted a contest, but the removal was very quick. The message I received is: If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below. The deleted page was Ray Brown (Producer), and I have new content for that page to submit. I wanted to contact you as it said to first contact the person who deleted the page. Should I just go ahead and resubmit my content? Should I do this from an account not named for the Wikipedia entry? Did you have concerns with references or notability? Do you have the deleted page as the copy editing and links and references were work I would like to retrieve and edit as possible.Ray Brown (Producer) (talk) 23:14, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You did not, in fact, create an article; you created a userpage, although I assume that this was not your intention. The edit you created is correctly quoted by you as User:Ray Brown (Producer). A userpage in Wikipedia is a page on which a user can indicate his/her interests, skill, achievements, expectations, expertise, etc. as these factors apply directly to his or her Wikipedia editing. Brief biographical details are acceptable, but a retailed resume is wholly unacceptable.
Secondly, the creation of autobiography here is strongly discouraged. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 23:34, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks I moved to a draft in my sandbox and submitted for review. It looks like more work required to avoid "autobiography". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akumalbay12 (talk • contribs) 17:08, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting

As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time.

Draft:2015–16 Alaska Anchorage Seawolves men's basketball team

This article went through AfD, so is not eligible for G13 speedy deletion.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:43, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unscintillating, G13 deletions are normal practice for drafts that have not been edited for 6+ months. You are welcome to request a REFUND. However, given that you're the one who moved the page to the draft space I'm surprised you're contesting the deletion. Primefac (talk) 12:52, 12 December 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)[reply]
This was an out-of-process deletion, not "normal practice", so the puzzle is that you aren't encouraging an administrator to follow "a widely accepted standard that all editors should normally follow".  Unscintillating (talk) 12:37, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Had it remained as an article, with a previous history of AfD resulting in a "no consensus" decision, then a speedy deletion would be very unlikely although not forbidden by policy. But any draft which is neither edited nor submitted within six months may be deleted under CSD category G13. And it was. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:06, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest that you read the CSD policy, as there is no ambiguity for G13.
As for the idea that G13 can be applied to articles in mainspace, articles in mainspace are not bread that goes stale.  There is a different concept that comes from software, where Wikipedia policy and practice might be lacking, which is maintainability.  Unscintillating (talk) 12:37, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As of August 2017 G13 can now be applied to any page in the Draft space. While I personally do not agree with this decision, it was made. There is nothing done "out of practice". Primefac (talk) 14:54, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: I am sorry that you do not like my decision (I assume that you referred to that, not to the CSD policy). You will, of course, be aware that the text remains available if called for. I feel that there is little option is this situation; if a draft exists, has not been edited for six months or more, and the author has been notified of impending deletion, what else is there to do? I am aware that this draft, unusually, had been brought back to draft space from article space, but even so it must be treated in the same way as any other draft. There was, you will appreciate, a lot of time in which the draft could have been edited, and it was not. Certainly I could have returned the draft to article space, or I could have moved the draft into the requesting editor's talkspace, but neither is really in line with current policy. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:04, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I find your decision to delete it perfectly sound. I was indeed referring to the G13-for-all decision earlier, mostly because I know a fair number of editors affected by it who then have to immediately turn around and request a REFUND. Primefac (talk) 17:11, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies for misunderstanding your point. Even after the change in policy I have tended to avoid heavy-handed deletion of drafts which are time-expired but were not initiated at AfC. Most, surely, are deletable but some can sensibly be saved, by one means or another. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:23, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of ASAP TyY

Hello Anthony. Can you please undelete it and move it to draft space where I can work on it?

Thank you so much.Castelliaj (talk) 23:40, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have two problems with this request, which normally I would be happy to at least consider. One is that it was not I who most recently deleted the article; the second is that it has already been re-created.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 23:04, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the article because it makes no valid claim of notability. Note that the article was previously deleted some months ago for the same reason.

1996 Delhi blast

Can you restore this article? It seems that you probably didn't checked the talk page where one editor took the responsibility of the article per WP:BANREVERT. I had checked the article and the sources supported the content. Similarly, another G5(1996 Dausa blast) was declined under these circumstances. Capitals00 (talk) 06:11, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you re-read WP:BANREVERT. It appears to me that the article was created by a blocked editor. Are you denying this?--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:49, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You, or as you say your PR team, created a user page here. A user page is intended to contain information about the user's skills, intentions, expectations, history, etc. as it applies to their activity within wikipedia. A brif biography is usually acceptable; details relating to activity unrelated to Wikipedia editing are not acceptable. Your two forthcoming movies, for example, therefore have no place on a user page. The page will therefore not be restored. Writing about yourself is strongly discouraged; if someone, not you, wishers to creatre an article - not a user page - about you, this will be assessed without prejudice. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:57, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sir, I want to inquire one thing, I had created one page name Ujjwal Patni. I want to create that page. I have enough resources and references to create this page but I need you guidance to create page. Please help me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 182.70.174.8 (talk) 11:19, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As you say you have created the page I am not certain what question you are asking. You sent this message to me while using an IP address; I would suggest that you use your registered account from which to edit. If you want to create a page then you are free to do so; I seriously suggest that, to avoid disappointment, you do so in the articles for creation page, which contains a full explanation and instructions. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:15, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Omeezy Chappo

Hello Anthony Bradbury, I was wondering if the Omeeezy Chappo draft can be undeleted. I am in the process of figuring out how to produce the correct copyrighting for the photo I added back in December.

Recovery of deleted page.

Hi Anthony,

I appreciate my page was marked for deletion and so it was deleted, but is there any way you could recover for me the contents of the page and put it back into my sandbox so I can continue to work on it?

Thanks, Josh.

I will put it on your talk page. I must say that it is, as posted, a very long way from being notable. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:41, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, please note that I have correctly formatted your request, which you failed to sign. The answer to your question; he lacks claimed encyclopedic notability. I will point out that since I deleted the article and you created it again (which you should not have done) it has been deleted again by another admin. If you choose to re-create it you will be running a serious risk of being prevented from editing here.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 15:59, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Stargardt disease

Hi Anthony

You recently deleted Stargardt disease with the reasoning that is was a duplicate, but the article you link as the duplicate is the one you deleted. I think there has been a mix up, could you have a look?

Many thanks

Articles appear to be exact duplicates. Current article has history, references, etc. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:24, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for not being clear, what I was trying to say is you had just linked to the same article twice, so they appear as duplicates but there is only one article. Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 08:07, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Prof Daddy Hezekiah & Draft:Prophet Daddy Hezekiah

Tony, many thanks for zapping the first of the above. You may want to have a look at the second, which is the same rubbish in a different guise. He had a third Prof.Daddy Hezekiah, with a full stop, that's thankfully already gone. I've no doubt the author will try again, probably with something like Pastor Daddy Hezekiah. His whole editing pattern is very concerning. Very poor articles with clearly promotional intentions and almost certainly driven by an undeclared paid editing interest. Thanks again and best regards.

relevance of Dale of merchants

Hello, a couple of days ago I created an article about a card game called Dale of merchants. I think that you though that the article was about a web page or about a web game. It is a physical game that you buy in physical shops (it made of cards mainly (and a dice and a board)) and you deleted the article. The game was first published in English, and due to its sucess its rights were bought in other countries and it was subsequently published in Spain, Portugal, China, Poland, Italy. Moreover, due to its success an expansion of the game (new cards) were published two years later and new expansions are due to be published in 2018 and 2019. In my humble opinion any game that is translated and published in several countries is a relevant and important game. Much more if expansions are released. Other wikipedia articles about games of this kind and success (Codenames, Dominion,...) are not deleted. So, what do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Salvadorcases (talk • contribs) 13:21, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even as a card game I feel that notability is not shown especially clearly. But the article is harmless, and I have restored it. As an aside please note that it is recommended that you sign talk page edits (but not article edits) which you do at the end of your post either by adding ~~~~ or by clicking on the pencil icon at the top of the text box. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 14:37, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Have you deleted it again? -- Salvadorcases (talk) 23:28, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. RHaworth did. Looking at his delete message, which you would have seen had you looked for it, it appears that he also thought is was a web game. -- Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:32, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Salvadorcases, learn to provide wikilinks when you talk about articles. "The article is harmless"! No it is not - it is probably spam. Anthony Bradbury restored the page, but failed to remove the speedy tag so it got deleted again. Situation rectified. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:41, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where is his delete message? -- Salvadorcases (talk) 22:38, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am not the author of the game nor I have any connection with any game company, I just happen to like the game, the same way I like many other games and so I have contributed to some wikipedia articles about games of different companies--Salvadorcases (talk) 22:55, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neither I nor RHaworth have made any comments about yourself. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 23:20, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are not commenting about me and I am the only author of the article, in what other sense can it be spam?--Salvadorcases (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comments about the article are not comments about the author. If you wish to prolong this pointless conversation I suggest you read WP:TROLL first. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 13:10, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, I would like to know if there is any way one can turn a pointless conversation into a productive one that can lead to the lift of a ban on an article. Thank you very much.--Salvadorcases (talk) 22:53, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draft - David Humphreys

Dear Tony (if I may so call you)

I was a little perplexed at your 'speedy deletion' of my draft article on Bach's Four Duetti, partly because I was still working on it and I do think you might have waited to judge it in a finished state. There is no article on the Four Duetti as such, though there is on on the publication (Bach's Dritter Theil der Clavierübung) which contains them. I am sorry you find it 'unsalvageably incoherent and I am of course open to any suggestions. I submitted it because it does contain material on the Duetti, including an explanation of their function which does not appear in the main article. The title would have been 'Bach, Four Duetti' or similar.
