Just in case anyone wants to talk to me.... Peridon (talk) 20:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rest of this is archived somewhere. There's a nice little bot comes in and tidies up. (Could do with one at home...) A very kind person has organised an archive box that even has a search bar in it. (No beer, though....)

PLEASE ADD MESSAGES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE SO THAT I WILL SEE THEM. I LOOK THERE FIRST. Post at the top and you risk being missed altogether. Thanks. Do put a heading inside == == and sign with ~~~~. If you don't get a reply from me (or one of the stalkers...) within a reasonable time, you've probably not read this. If you have read it and ignored it, it's your own fault. If you haven't read it, READ IT NOW. Another reason to post at the bottom is that if you post at the top and someone else posts at the bottom, I'll see their message, but won't suspect there's another. Up to you. Ignore this if you want. Just don't blame me.

Actually, I don't like raisins, but do like grapes. Peridon (talk) 18:42, 24 January 2015 (UTC) I like this message.[reply]

Undeletion request for Lucidsamples

Hello. I have added some reliable independent sources and removed all the marketing/enthusiastic statements. I would really appreciate this page to be available again. Thank you. Mtix (talk) 14:36, 16 February 2017 (UTC)Mtix[reply]

I'm feeling a bit shattered at the moment, so I'll ping @Ritchie333: to see if he'll have a look. I'm not too sure about the notability, but I wouldn't delete it as an article either. Can't remember why I userfied it, either - you may have asked me to. Ritchie, it's at User:Mtix /Lucid Samples if you could have a look. Thanks. (I do seem to have an extraneous space in that title - that's where it is, anyway.) Peridon (talk) 19:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good evening, @Ritchie333: and @Peridon:! Are there any updates? I would really like the page Lucidsamples back online. Thank you for understanding.
I'll try @MelanieN: - she was away before but she'll be back now. A very good rescuer and improver. Peridon (talk) 17:12, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping. I took a look. Frankly I doubt whether this article would pass WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG, which are the requirements for having an article here. The deleted article had five references; the new page has 11; that is pretty much the only difference so it really isn't much improved. More of a problem, the new references are not independent. They are mostly sources from LucidSamples itself, plus a couple of interviews with specialty blogs. So they do not meet our requirement for independent reliable sources, which means significant coverage from outside sources like newspapers or magazines. If you can find any such outside coverage, add it and we'll talk. But for now I would not encourage restoring the article. It would only get deleted again (it's been deleted twice already), and you don't want it to get a history of being repeatedly deleted; that can result in the title getting locked to prevent repeated re-creation. Maybe wait a bit until the company receives more coverage or recognition and try again then. Sorry I couldn't be more help. --MelanieN (talk) 19:18, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your advices. You see, the company is still growing and gets more attention. So, as far as I understand it is the best to wait for independent, more reliable and bigger media to to set their eyes on Lucidsamples and then to put links from their articles on Wiki. Please note that lesser technical, specialty blogs are in many cases a better reference than a big magazine where everyone can appear after spending enough money. One more question: WP:GNG do not specify how big should be the entity giving "notability credit". Can I assume that one or two worldwide media plus growing number independent brand blogs or magazines will do good?
On the other hand Wikipedia is not only a source of well spread knowledge about big companies or venues. It works also as a place of reference for smaller ones. Kind regards, Mtix (talk) 09:31, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion request for Concerned Citizens of South Central Los Angeles

Hi! I recognize that you saw my page as unfinished, thats because its a semester long work in progress for a college course. We had to assign ourselves an influential environmental justice group (the class is in the environmental studies department) and either create or add on to an existing wikipedia page for them. In order to comply with the Wikiedu tasks we had to assign our username to the article and since CCSCLA didnt exist we had to create the page. The assignment is an effort to create some representation for these highly influential groups that get looked over because they work atthe intersection of race, class, gender, and environmental sustainability. CCSCLA is one of the most influential environmental justice books, often cited in many environmental studies textbooks. Their most notable achievement was the hault of the LANCER incinerator construction in Los Angeles that would cause health issues for residents of the surrounding community. We will be creating an encyclopedia style entry (up to all the wiki standards we are doing trainings in) with many cited sources (our annoted bibliographies were due today actually ive got 10+ sources lined up if you want to see them) and a non partial and non promotional writing style. Like I said its a work in progress and will be completed by the end of april. We will be constructing the page in my sandbox but we need the page to exist in order to do so in compliance with the wikiedu assign your article task.

Mtlang13 (talk) 05:39, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's now at User:Mtlang13/Concerned Citizens of South Central LA. Don't forget to read the policies linked on your talk page, and don't forget that not all subjects pass the notability requirements, no matter how influential they may seem locally, and no matter what college lecturers may think.... Please understand that while there may be collaboration between students, an account on Wikipedia is for one person only and passwords must not be shared. Avoid any signs of enthusiasm in the article. Don't move it into article space, or it is likely to be deleted again by someone. The places for article creation over a period of time are user space or the Draft: space. Once it gets past the showing notability stage, it could go into user space, but then you'll find gnomes invading and tidying things up. If you want (or need) it to be 'all our own work', it should be kept out of article space until the work is done. As I often point out, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and while educational projects are welcomed (usually...) they must work to the standards set. Stands to sense, really - if you get away with a lesser standard, you haven't learned how to do it properly anyway. OK. It's safe from the patrollers where it is, as regards notability, but do avoid looking like attack, hoax, copyright violation, or advertising/promotion. They can tag anywhere for those. And do. Promo is the danger. So many people now are accustomed to estate agent/realtor wording, and the excesses of other PR jargon, that they use the junk speek sic because they think that's how it should be. Look at what you write, and think, "Would I find this in a brochure, or on a website home page? Or would I find it in the Britannica?". Simplicity and neutrality are the keys. Good luck.

List of sex gangs

I don't know if you'll notice my response to your message on my talk page, so I'll also post it here: A3 applies to an article that "consists only of external links". List of sex gangs has no text, 27 external links, 11 links to other Wikipedia articles. While that's not "only" external links, it's over 70%. Chrisahn (talk) 11:04, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Houston Plastic Surgeon - Dr. Wilberto Cortés

Hope all's well. Could you compare this draft you deleted a couple of weeks ago, with this current sandbox draft? There's something a bit funny going on; as you see, the subject is the same, but the current edition is a COI / autobiography written, he says, by himself (and of course that's another matter). But the previous one was created by socks [1]. So it would be interesting to establish the relationship between them all. If you could compare the two drafts, that would be a great help. Take care! O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 09:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The text is different, but both are pure and unadulterated spam. I would say they're from the same agency, one that can't get the idea that advertising and promo are not going to get onto Wikipedia into its collective head. I don't think it's him himself - the PR guff is to PR for a doctor. As it is, I'd say tag anything on this subject that looks the least bit promo as both promo and by a blocked or banned author. Leave a note explaining this on the talk page, as not all admins will know about it. I think he might have paid them for an article, and they're having trouble delivering. Could be wrong - he could be a blagger as well as a doctor. Personally, I can't see why there is this fascination in the US for the 'hourglass' figure anyway. I've never had a girlfriend shaped like that. I prefer them to look natural and real (and not be wearing about three layers of makeup too). Peridon (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Backpacker Tax in Australia

Please reverse the deletion of the page "The Backpacker Tax in Australia". The original content on Reeffree is referenced and it was also written by the same author. This is an important topic in Australian news and does not appear elsewhere on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.99.226 (talk) 13:01, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion Request to reverse page deletion -Planys Technologies

Please guide me to the reason for deleting this page "Planys Technologies" — Preceding unsigned comment added by AjithaKumar (talk • contribs) 11:00, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign talk page posts with ~~~~ to put your signature and the time stamp on, and please don't post in all bold on talk pages (it looks like shouting). I deleted the article because it was a repost of an article deleted at WP:Articles for deletion/Planys Technologies, without any improvement. If an article is deleted at AfD, you shouldn't just repost it as it was. or i will be deleted (as this one was). By the way, I would advise you that you should stick to one account when editing. There appear to be two accounts with your name, and another that has only edited concerning Planys. Yet another has edited Planys and one other subject - and I've just tagged their other article as being promotional. The article has been deleted quite a few times, which indicates that notability (WP:CORP is not being shown. Peridon (talk) 13:01, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
