Scapegoat_(band)

While this was sometime ago I am curious as to why you deleted the "Scapegoat_(band)" article. 69.247.77.67 21:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Fang Aili. I wanted to request a reason why you deleted my submission [colonies.com network]? I have provided factual information. Is there anything that I am missing that I need to add? Thanks for you help as I am new to Wikipedia.

Another admin deleted that one--the reason given was that it does not assert notability. Wikipedia has certain guidelines for web content. You can read about them here. Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 13:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

deleted article wikiphobia

Madam, Thank you for your quick and sane response to my question concerning my deleted article wikiphobia. I've read through the articles on Wikipedia concerning what doesn't belong on Wikipedia, and reasons most articles are deleted.

Still, I feel the subject meets the guidelines for wikipedia articles. Your own page links to a wikipedia article for the internet slang term real life, and that wikipedia article has links multiple other articles written on slang terms such as meatspace and other frivilous internet slang terms. Should other responsible Wikipedia contributors delete these articles?

wikiphobia is a widely used term (just google it to see) and I believes it deserves coverage.

Please reconsider my article--inall fairness.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrishibbard7 (talk • contribs)

If you can show that "wikiphobia" is used widely by mainstream media, then perhaps it merits an article. (But at 88 unique G hits, I do not think you'll be able to do that.) This is the difference between the other terms you mentioned and wikiphobia. Thank you, Fang Aili ^talk 13:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you asserting "meatspace" is "used widely in mainstream media"? Or are you only willing to risk deleting contributions by newbies to protect your liberally-applied administrative privs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrishibbard7 (talk • contribs)

While google isn't the end-all of notability claims, "meatspace" gets some 400 thousand Ghits. I therefore surmise that the term is widely used. I could of course be wrong, and if you would like meatspace to be deleted, you are welcome to propose it for deletion with WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Thank you, Fang Aili ^talk 22:35, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted page

03:19, 20 June 2007 Fang Aili (Talk | contribs) deleted "Uniwares" (advertising)

What exactly makes you think this page is/was advertising? And in which sense it is significantly different from pages like Barracuda Networks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uniwares (talk • contribs)

Existence does not merit inclusion. Barracuda Networks might need editing, it might even need deleting. But Uniwares was advertising, and I happened to see it and delete it. Please see this page for details on why this was deleted. Thank you! --Fang Aili ^talk 13:46, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then probably all of those [1] (among others) need deletion too, according to your definition? Uniwares (talk · contribs)

I really don't know. I don't have time to go through them. You are welcome to nominate them for deletion if you wish. (See Wikipedia:Deletion for details.) You might also be interested in WP:COI, which states that if you have a close connection to the subject, you probably shouldn't be writing about it. Thank you, Fang Aili ^talk 17:46, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I rather pledge for a undelete then. There are perfectly valid categories for articles about companies, actually dozens of categories and hundreds of company descriptions, which may even sometimes sound like advertising to the unknowing. But I believe that it is perfectly within the goals of Wikipedia to describe an enterprise with its doings without making it an advertising. Thank you very much. 201.78.236.116 17:20, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Voyager Edge

Fang,

You recently deleted my page for Voyager Edge. It was created to add additional information to the topic "mobile agent". On that page you see a reference to Aglets. We provide the same (and more) functionality as Aglets and feel people interested in "mobile agent" will want to know about all the platforms that provide this functionality. Is it more appropriate to put an external link on the "mobile agent" page? Since Aglets and Voyager Edge have existed for the same amount of time, what allows one reference and not another?

beloffed

beloffed why have you deleted my article 'beloffed, and recorded it as nonsense, when it is a well known saying in the Midlands in the UK? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zahraauk (talk • contribs)

Glendale Youth Orchestra

I was wondering why you deleted my entry about the Glendale Youth Orchestra. Other youth orchestras are allotted pages on Wikipedia, and I do not see why this one is any different. Is there anything in particular I can do to "assert its notability"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glendaleyouthorchestra (talk • contribs)

Chinese Names

Thank you for fixing the page I created for Zhang Zhenwang to reflect the proper structure for Chinese names. I have fixed all links to his page, as well as the page I created for Liu Kai. One of these erronious links was on the page for the Chinese national baseball team, which makes me curious/concerned that all of the names on that page are incorrect...but I have no way of knowing as I have no experience with Chinese names, and no one with expertise has caught on... thoughts? Jsh726 18:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few general rules. Family names are virtually always one syllable. So for instance Zhao Hongbo -- you can be reasonably sure his family name is "Zhao". (Zhao is written with one character, and Hongbo with two ("hong" and "bo"). So if you see a Chinese name with two syllables in front, you can be pretty sure it needs to be switched around. Names that are just one syllable-one syllable are a little trickier. I don't have enough exposure to recognize feminine names from masculine (just like we'd know that "Michael" is a male's name), but if you have a Chinese friend, s/he would be able to tell you instantly. Another way is to check some Chinese sources (written in English), like sina.com, but that's not always gospel either because sometimes they will try to conform to the Western (and incorrect) way of naming Chinese people. In sum, it's a bit tricky. Thank you for asking and having an interest. :) --Fang Aili ^talk 00:34, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the tips. I did some research, and from what I could tell, all of the names were flipped. I think the article was created based on a World Baseball Classic roster on a US page. I corrected them, but would you mind giving the page a glance when you have some free time, just to double check me. Thanks again! Jsh726 14:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty good at first glance! I will double check in the next few days. Thanks! --Fang Aili ^talk 14:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Datalantic

Fang,

Why did you delete my article 'Datalantic'? It can't be advertising, the company is defunct. The company did, however, play a significant role in the creation of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. There are many other potentially self serving references in the Vietman Veterans Memorial Wall article but Datalantic isn't even mentioned.

GENRE ONLINE.NET

Talk:GENRE ONLINE.NET From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search WriterR5 14:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)WriterR5WriterR5 14:35, 29 June 2007 (UTC)GENRE ONLINE.NET has been cited on Wikipedia as a resource for films Wikipedia has noted and used review content in the citations such as is the case for The Juniper Tree where it specifically states under external links - Review by Mark A. Rivera at Genreonline.net. Other examples that show the site as being a source of reference used by Wikipedia include the 2004 miniseries remake of Salems Lot, where the link at the bottom simply states "Another review with pictures", my interview with George A. Romero is specifically on the top line under references on Wikipedia and cited as so " ^ http://www.genreonline.net/GENRE_ONLINE_Interview_George_Romero.html" Also Carvan Of Courage: An Ewok Adventure and Ewoks:The Battle For Endor both use my review at GENRE ONLINE.NET as external link references under the heading "A review of the DVD" for both of them.

If my work is worthy of being referenced as a top line reference as is the case with the heading under George A. Romero or the External Link references like The Juniper Tree, the remake of Salems Lot and the two Ewok films then why would not the site itself be worthy of an entry on Wikipedia since it is a resource cited six times already, is a site that has been around for nearly eight years, and there is nothing I wrote that I consider to be SPAM. In fact other websites like The Digital Bits have citations on Wikipedia with the Editor's name Bill Hunt and no one calls that SPAM. If I wanted to inflate my feathers I could go on about my NY Times Interview or list every famous person I've interviewed personally for the website.

There is nothing that I have wrote that is dishonest, self promoting, or cannot be backed up under direct examination. If there is a rewrite suggested to make it more in line with Wikipedia's style, please advice me and I will make the changes or anyone who sees fit among the Wikipedia staff and Editors, etc can change it on the site. I feel that after eight years and actual references made by Wikipedia itself as well as my own honesty and directness in my posting, GENRE ONLINE.NET should be allowed to remain online at Wikipedia the same way The Digital Bits and other sites noted are. Thank you.

Deleted - Harveys Point

I created a brief summary before coming back to edit the listing to provide information about the hotel for guests at my upcoming wedding there. No particular reason for putting it there, but thought it would be nice to have a wikipedia listing. I also think that given there are listings allowed for Hilton Hotels, Marriot hotels and the Europa Hotel in Belfast to name but a few, I think it is highly unfair that this one has been removed.

It was very short, not even one complete sentence. It also doesn't assert notability. Thank you, Fang Aili ^talk 00:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have recreated the page as something more substantial, but am still being threatened with deletion. I don't believe this to be advertising, just a history of one of Donegals most renowned in which I will be having my wedding. I certainly think it is not guilty of anything differenet than other hotels listed on Wikipedia, as mentioned before.Irishjp 10:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Irishjp: The main problem with the recreation is one of copyright violation: as the deletion tag says, the text is lifted virtually verbatim from the hotel's home page. Additionally, the article as it currently stands is effectively an advertisement, which is inappropriate. I also agree with Fang Aili that it's not sufficiently notable for Wikipedia. (Whether or not other, similar hotel entries are similarly non-notable is beside the point.) Please see WP:NOTE and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for more info on this. -- Hux 11:35, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible reconcidereation, please Template:Wall burglar

"Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism..."

Dear Fang Aili,

  I appreciate what you and your colleges are doing. Wikipedia is indeed an extremely valuable asset to everyone from the striving college student to the highest CEO of a major company. I believe that the information found on Wikipedia, due to its easy access needs to be not only factual (thanks to you and others like you it is of the highest standard, despite the popular opinion of the public that it is not), but also very abundant and diverse. Wall Burglar, the article in question, is a very regional subject, and not much information, if any would be found on the internet via Google search. I can certainly see where you are coming from considering it vandalism, and this is a true testimony to the fine filter of the dedicated Wikipedians such as yourself, unfortunately Wall Burglar is a special case that must be reconsidered. Please, if you consider it appropriate could you bring back this special article, it would mean the world to not only me but the entire community of the small town of Ola, South Dakota. Wall Burglar is a very special part of our city. Thanks again for all you do for this wonderful project of Wikipedia

                                              Sincerely,
                                                Sasquatchjr., and the entire community of Ola
