An account for Wikipedia-related email to me exists. However, I check its inbox infrequently, perhaps once or twice a month. I receive few messages there and send none.

CaliforniaWineLover User Page Deletion

Wikipedia criteria for speedy deletion excludes the sandbox and the users' own user space. This was a test page within the user space so that I could work out the formatting of articles using information that I had handy. If I was posting outside of the my own user space please let me know. CaliforniaWineLover (talk) 21:24, 19 May 2010 (UTC)CaliforniaWineLover[reply]

RoboCoaster

Hi,

I created the RoboCoaster wiki page today but you deleted it (G11). I tried to follow the example set by other roller coaster manufacturers, why has it been deleted? Who can i get to check it and make sure it's right etc if i redo it?

I only started using wiki yesterday! Help!

(Discoeagles (talk) 23:25, 19 May 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I've undeleted it for now. If it's deleted again, try Deletion review. – Athaenara ✉ 23:42, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Bogle Stroll

Hello,

I have removed your speedy-G11 tag from this article because I believe the article is not so promotional in tone that it would "require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic." I agree that it has some problems with tone and style, but the subject appears to be notable (per Google News) and I believe the article is fixable.

Deletion of The Meteo Show

Athaenara,

Earlier today, the new article titled "The Meteo Show" was deleted from Wikipedia. It was claimed to be insignificant, but I believe this to be a mistake. Is there any way the article could be revived for slight revisions, or at least the original text to be sent to me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banjo999 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The youtube phenomenon you're attempting to add to Wikipedia fails the notability guideline, but you may ask one of the admins in this category for a copy. – Athaenara ✉ 01:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Open wireless architecture

Hey. You deleted the article as spam and copyvio, but the copyvio claim doesn't hold since OTRS persmission had been received. Would you mind reconsidering your deletion? - Jarry1250 ^{[Humorous? Discuss.]} 11:17, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's spam. I won't restore it, but you can try deletion review. – Athaenara ✉ 22:22, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request to restore article "Knife rest"

Hello! Could you please restore the article Knife rest for me so I can improve upon it? --Bensin (talk) 17:48, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File deletion

whoops that was kind of a test did you notice I put all three tags on it for author deletion. could yoou undelete it? when I say it was kind of a test I mean I might actually want it deleted but not now. I know it's a pointless image but everyone gets a few vanity pictures. Can the name be shortened? I actually wanted to move the file and was going to ask how. Daniel Christensen (talk) 02:18, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. – Athaenara ✉ 02:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; is there any way it could be renamed to like "user:daniel christensen" or something like that so that it's clear that it's a userpage photo and that it's not intended to be a picture in an article so people know it's okay that it has no place. Thanks. Daniel Christensen (talk) 02:32, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Try {{rename media}} (see moving a file page). – Athaenara ✉ 02:40, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see; it says an administrator can move a file; are you an administrator? If you can delete it you must be right? Daniel Christensen (talk) 03:05, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All right I also see you redeleted and restored it again. Daniel Christensen (talk) 03:06, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, my initial undeletion summary wasn't complete and that was the only way I knew to correct it. – Athaenara ✉ 03:09, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, performed my first file move! – Athaenara ✉ 04:36, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A.K.O.O Clothing

Can you put a copy of this article before deletion in my userspace please? The subject is notable but perhaps needed a few (or a few more) references. Thanks. OlYeller^Talktome 15:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. – Athaenara ✉ 00:40, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for userfying it for me. I'm going to do a little more work on it and repost it but I really don't think it was an A7. A very famous artist created the clothing line and there are two references covering the line. I could definitely see an arguement for deletion at an AfD but it's at least asserted notability.

Bren School of Environmental Science & Management

Hello,

The article/page I posted today about the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management at UC Santa Barbara was deleted. After I wrote it, I received a warning that it could qualify for quick deletion. I read the reasons for that, understood them and then set out to address them, removing anything that did not occur to me as "encyclopedic" and recasting the article in a "neutral" tone. I then re-saved the page. I see articles for institutions of higher learning all over wikipedia and cannot understand why mine was deleted.

I did receive a couple of notes after the article was deleted, and referencing line 8 and line 15. But since the article has been deleted, I have no way of knowing what those lines were or what offenses I may have committed within them.

People do look for the Bren School, and for graduate schools in general, and people do use Wikipedia to find them. I am new authoring on Wikipedia and am trying to do it right. Any guidance appreciated. I'd especially like to have a copy, at least, of my deleted page and a tip on how to fix it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brenwikiedit (talk • contribs) 00:22, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Noindex on userfied articles

Is it necessary to put the noindex magic word on articles which have been userfied to a user page subpage and removed from mainspace, or is that just belt–and–suspenders? I've noted that you do it. Best regards, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 14:18, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently I should use __NOINDEX__ instead of {{NOINDEX}} because the latter is deprecated. At any rate, I've used it on a few user subpages which have spam issues. – Athaenara ✉ 21:21, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was confused, so thanks for the clarification. — TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 13:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates/CTA Night

Why did you delete Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates/CTA Night? I would like to recreate it.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:05, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You created and blanked it last week, so it turned up in this database report, looking like a candidate for {{db-g7}}. I restored it. – Athaenara ✉ 23:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I would like a modified article on Victory Carriers to please be reinstated after corrections and modifications were made. Please advise, with sincere thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IASONASHIOS (talk • contribs) 20:22, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Global Hotel Alliance

You previously deleted a page entitled Global Hotel Alliance for blatant advertising tone. The page has now been redone and I would appreciate your comments and approval to make it more relevant for Wikipedia. Vickyelliot (talk) 12:17, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for mopping up my userspace with the speedy deletions. I realized I was using way too much of Wiki's space on useless stuff, so I appreciate your prompt work. You can call it pre-college spring cleaning. --- Dralwi k|^{Have a Chat} 01:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, I'm all for spring cleaning ;-) Athaenara ✉ 01:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All the pages you're taking care of date back to when I first joined in late 2005 and early 2006. Back then, I had a bad habit of starting lists and abandoning them. So thank you for taking the time for all this. --- Dralwi k|^{Have a Chat} 01:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for erasing someone's attempt to recommend for deletion Sleeping Ariadne; you did it before I noticed. I would have been so cross and disappointed... So thank you for keeping an eye out. --Wetman (talk) 01:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That was just a WildBot-tagged page. Athaenara 01:22, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mentez Talk Page

Athaenara,

I created a talk page for Mentez to request the creation of that article. I thought I did everything necessary to request the page. -- I explicitly stated that I had a conflict of interest. -- I tried to give as much information as possible

You left me a message on my User_talk:Malandrew page. As far as I can tell I followed the COI guidelines completely. Where did I go wrong?

I would like to re-submit a request for the creation of this article, but I need to know what mistake I made so i don't make it again.

Thanks,

Andrew

P.S. The page in question: Talk:Mentez#Proposed_addition :was deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malandrew (talk • contribs) 18:17, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A link to Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations was included in the {{uw-coi}} posted to you. If you find that insufficient, you can try the conflict of interest noticeboard. – Athaenara ✉ 23:43, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
