Digital audio support
Misplaced Pages uses the Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and WAV formats for audio, as they are not encumbered by patents (an issue that prompted the decision that MP3 files will not be hosted at Misplaced Pages). Software supporting Vorbis exists for many platforms... Mozilla Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and Google Chrome 3 (and later versions) each include their own support for Ogg Vorbis files. As for multimedia players, Winamp can be used to play Ogg Vorbis files. Although iTunes does not natively support Vorbis, Xiph.Org provides a QuickTime component which can be used in players that rely on QuickTime, such as iTunes, on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. DirectShow filters exist to decode Vorbis in multimedia players like Windows Media Player and others which support DirectShow. Various online tools (such as Zamzar) are available which let you freely convert one file format into another, and can be useful when you want to upload a file to Misplaced Pages.

Please help me in writing a good article, previously u deleted it. it was about an author Zara2308 (talk) 19:43, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- (by talk reader) @Zara2308: Cheron K. Griffin is not notable which is why your draft was deleted. You should wait several years until she becomes notable and then you can write about her. If you are her, know her, or were hired to write about her then you have a legal responsibility to disclose that fact. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:49, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

- Thank you for the disclosure. Please tell your client that she is not notable. I understand that many people in business are desperate for a Misplaced Pages entry but we are written by volunteers and are not for sale. Further, we cannot help you.

Hi Athaenara, why did you deleted the entry ?

Hi Athaenara, could I ask you to put into Drafts or my userspace Drafts the recently deleted page Builder Lynx while I look into better sources. Cheers. Mucm — Preceding undated comment added 20:15, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Mucm: What you wrote was a business listing. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a free website for businesses to use in that way. – Athaenara ✉ 22:11, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
- I modelled every sentence on existing sections of other Misplaced Pages pages (e.g. Kobo Inc. is the Kobo page also a business listing?) Plain neutral description of place of organization, purpose of the organization, etc. I'm just genuinely trying to understand what aspects of that were "blatantly promotional". In any case, could I ask you to put into Drafts or my userspace Drafts the recently deleted page while I look into better sources that indicate the notability. Cheers.

Deletion of a sandbox page
→ in re: User:ReVeluv02/sandbox/Dharampal Satyapal Group (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Hello @Athaenara. It has come to my attention that a sandbox page, User:ReVeluv02/sandbox/Dharampal Satyapal Group, was deleted without even my reasoning and I wasn't able to contest at all (though I know it was speedily deleted). I think it is important and professional to reach out to the talk page of the involved editor as the effort made goes to waste (though efforts doesn't apply to Misplaced Pages's guidelines). You could have reached out first and questioned the page involved before you reach a certain consensus to decide whether the page will be then removed (the fact that the page is a sandbox, and not a Misplaced Pages article).
As per WP:ABOUTSAND, sandbox is about testing and experimenting. This is the reason why I never put my sandbox page on my user page as I keep private of all the pages before publishing it in order to follow the guidelines of Misplaced Pages. The sandbox entry was limited for access unless thoroughly searched on the search bar. As by the time you deleted the page, I have no intentions of officially publishing the page as I'm well aware of the "unambiguous advertising" sound of the texts and paragraph on the deleted page. ReVeluv02 (talk) 15:27, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- @ReVeluv02: I agree 100% with User:GPL93's {{db-g11}} tag on that page, which was loaded with promotional language such as "one of India's fastest moving", "distinguished quality and taste", "widely popular", "fervor for innovation and quality", etc., and an extensive list of products. I never undelete such blatant spam. – Athaenara ✉ 22:03, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Sure thing, don't undelete the blatant spam. Thank you for the response anyway. ReVeluv02 (talk) 01:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

- Speedy deletion of Andre Soares (Brazilian-American writer, actor)
Hi Athaenara, you deleted the article "Andre Soares (Brazilian-American writer, actor)" citing speedy deletion. I did not get a chance to contest before it was removed from the main namespace. I am in no shape or form affiliated with the figure I wrote about. This draft was extremely thorough, followed all the editorial guidelines, expressed no judgment and included sources from many reputable outlets. I was not compensated or pressured and the objective here was to bring light on a new creative I deemed notable enough to deserve coverage. Could you please review this speedy deletion and let me know if there are any changes you'd like made? Also is it possible to retrieve the source data? It took me weeks to build this. Thank you.

Please the information was copyrighted and I didn’t infringe on anything. Stitches03 (talk) 19:09, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Stitches03: The page was full of preposterous claims such as "his work has been proved beyond every doubt he’s the crème de la crème", included a fawning interview that seemed scripted by his own advertising team, urged readers to "cough up the funds to buy"... There was nothing even remotely encyclopedic about what you wrote. – Athaenara ✉ 22:19, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

hi,
why was the article Gino Cosme deleted? It followed the same format as other related articles. It was not an advertisement but a bio site with references to official media and academic article content on the web related to the author.
I understand that my author/bio page GinoCosme was miswritten since I misunderstood the purpose, but you deleted it before me being able to publish the update, which just included a one-liner of who I am. This now has deleted the associated article that was not contravention of any guidelines. GinoCosme (talk) 11:39, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Greetings I would like to edit a new page about this topic as the last one got erased after being marked for speedy deletion for being unambiguous advertising and promotion, but I would be using most of the same sources avoiding those marked as unreliable and using language that makes the article sound promotional. How can I proceed with this new edit of a topic on an already deleted article. Dispabasa (talk) 23:36, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

The article Vijay Pravin Maharajan was deleted by you without even intimating me who created the page. The article has many featured news reference and it is definitely not an Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Everything in it was written in neutral point of view as well. You may please reinstate the page and you may go for a deletion discussion. Jehowahyereh (talk) 03:28, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Jehowahyereh: I agree with the tagger that it's spam. I looked for sources better than subject's website, youtube videos, adulatory interview, etc. and found none. – Athaenara ✉ 06:27, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Athaenara ✉ , Kindly undelete the article and do clearly specify what portion in it seems promotional. It was tagged for G11 by an IP whose only edit is adding G11 tag in that page. It seems suspicious as well. It would be fair if you could undelete the article and add a deletion discusion. Rather than deleting an article with enough and more featured articles in reputable and reliable news articles. Jehowahyereh (talk) 03:24, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Deletion of article: Natasha Tsukanova
→ in re: Natasha Tsukanova (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Hello, I see the page for Natasha Tsukanova was deleted due to advertisement guidelines. It seems I have had an issue with my writing style when it comes to biography pages, which I can only apologise for. I primarily work on Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red and other draft articles I can find that I feel relate to this group.
After I found and fixed the page up I noticed it was linked back to an account that had been blocked, which is where I believe the confusion is coming from. I would like to start the page up again with aid in writing style as I was in the process of removing promotional content and wording. If you have any tips for this please let me know as I'm still learning. Thanks SecureJane (talk) 10:21, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

- Oh, you mean like all the following articles ?
- Don't really see the difference with Delphos ? Moreover Delphos works on development finance and on infrastructures in dozens of countries worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

PouetPouetTagadaNicodeme (talk) 11:02, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Hello everyone, I don't think I can really comment here as I can no longer view the article in question. Having said that my instinct is to trust Athaenara's judgement on this. It is the case the Misplaced Pages frowns on paid-for/conflict-of-interest editing which I think would have added a level of difficulty to creating this article. Added to that is that conflict of interest editors tend to struggle greatly with NPOV. Its a bit like a lawyer representing them self in court; they might be the best lawyer in the world but because they are not unbiased about themselves they tend to do a bad job of representing them selves. That also adds another layer of difficulty for a paid editor. Then there is the issue of proving notability, a cursory look at Delphos International indicates to me that it might pass that test but that would need to be looked into in greater detail. All in all I would suggest just waiting until an unpaid editor with no connection to the subject of the article comes along to create an article independently. I know that might be an unsatisfactory or even frustrating answer but it is generally the best one when it comes to article creation.--Discott (talk) 12:08, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Deletion of The Brooklyn Bank
→ in re: The Brooklyn Bank (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
→ see also: Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages is not here to tell the world about your noble cause
Hello @Athaenara,
You deleted my article on The Brooklyn Bank just this month. You cited G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. I disagree with your reasons, and I would like you to consider reinstating the article.
This is a non-profit organization, and thus, there is no reason for the organization to promote or advertise itself. It is a prominent organization in New York that has received considerable public attention, and as such, should be recognized encyclopedically. If you feel like the writing was too embellished, or that it seemed promotional, it would have been more appropriate to edit particular language, or recommend the language for edit. The content itself is statements of fact, but perhaps the descriptive language was unnecessary, and if that specific language would be modified from an objective and neutral perspective, then the article itself would have been satisfactory. The article itself should not be deleted. HalpernAdam (talk) 19:39, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
- (by talk reader) @HalpernAdam: And yet, here you are: seeming-single-purpose account with an un-disclosed interest in Sam Eshaghoff. Perhaps, new guy, you should spend less time telling others on Misplaced Pages what they should have done and more time taking your advertising back to Facebook. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:46, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
- @HalpernAdam: I initially considered your request seriously until I viewed the page again. It was an irredeemably promotional business description and Mean as custard's 17:25, 10 September 2022 (UTC) {{db-g11}} tag was appropriate. The institution is probably notable enough for an article, but what you wrote isn't it. – Athaenara ✉ 22:02, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

- That I had removed the promotional material, demonstrating the ineligibility for WP:G11, and later saw Lavalizard101's message at User talk:Wetelo in my watchlist, with a red link to a page that didn't qualify for speedy deletion. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:48, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

- @ToBeFree: It's hard for me to see what your specific concern actually is! For some reason, you thought that removing the most egregious portions transformed it from Spam to NotSpam. It was still spam, written from an account initially named for the company, and still quite eligible for G11. Why do you think it merits inclusion in this encyclopedia? – Athaenara ✉ 08:13, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

- You may well be correct about this. And if you start a deletion discussion, it may even well end up with a deletion. I'm questioning none of this. The only thing I wanted to insist on is that a lack of notability (or worse, a lack of credible claims of notability) is not a speedy deletion reason in the Draft namespace.

- I'm not 100% sure, but the name Athaenara has never rang any alarm bells before - in fact, I sort of recall rational comments from you - so I'm kind of expecting/rooting/hoping for compromised account. If so, contact ArbCom. If not, then ... yikes. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam - Honestly, I feel like there's no way this isn't a compromised account. For an admin to just blurt that out is definitely bizarre. Haven't seen it before. Would definitely be a waste of 16 good years of editing just because of one comment. — That Coptic Guy (let's talk?) 01:29, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- True. But a block is appropriate in either case. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:30, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

- No, this is me, and my account is not compromised. I was almost astonished to see how swiftly I was blocked for opposing a current RfA candidate, regardless of my grounds. I was not at all astonished to see how swiftly cancel culture reached out to put a stop to my opposition. Carry on. – Athaenara ✉ 01:49, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Except that's what an imposter would say too. I still hold out some hope that the real Athaenara isn't an idiot. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:53, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam GeneralNotability has publicly stated there's likely no compromise. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:54, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- For technical reasons that I'm probably wrong about, I still hold out some hope. Mr. Sunshine, they call me. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Floquenbeam: A check was done and no evidence of a comprimised account was found...so you might want to let go of that hope —VersaceSpace 🌃 01:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

- Have you just suddenly forgotten everything you've learned about civility on Misplaced Pages? Irrespective of your beliefs, calling a contributor a (Personal attack removed) is just terrible. —VersaceSpace 🌃 01:59, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Athaenara - Why do it though? Why in an RfA? I don't get it. 16 years is more than MOST currently active editors right now, and I think it'd be a shame if you were to leave based off of 1 mistake. Is there any legitimate way to prove it's actually you? I just have trouble believing an admin with the pedigree you built on this website would do this. I haven't personally interacted with you, but this smells fishy. — That Coptic Guy (let's talk?) 02:11, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- While this is certainly no smoking gun, doing a ctrl-f for "Athaenara" in Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2019-02-28/Humour will show several comments that are consistent with this actually being Athaenara. Particularly "Another funny part of this to me is that I recall years ago checking the preferences thing about gender, because I'm a woman and don't care who knows it, and now find myself wondering if because of this some users will assume I'm really a guy pretending to be female because hormone issues, neurotic confusion, whatever, and it's just down a rabbit hole again. For the record: I'm not pretending to be anything." (emphasis added by me). I no longer believe this is a compromised account. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:27, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Many on the right wing have accused Misplaced Pages of being a left wing website. Some editors argue the point but I know better. Now we see a 15 year editor getting very swiftly blocked and de-sysopped for cause all because she spoke against the neofascist orthodoxy of this website. Unfair as it is I can't say I'm sad about it. At least I know how to read the writing on the wall. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:35, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- She didn't speak "against the neofascist orthodoxy of this website", she attacked a contributor. Your comment is pure nonsense. —VersaceSpace 🌃 03:00, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- I don't understand whether this is a Poe's law situation or not. --Floquenbeam (talk) 03:00, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

- Athaenara, I'm absolutely shocked. I see you working every night, alongside me, reviewing pages tagged for speedy deletion. This is not about the fact that you opposed this candidate it's because of your hate-filled words. You know better, why would you feel compelled to say these things in such a public forum? I just don't understand, I know the good work that you've done. It will be sad if this is what you are remembered for. Liz 02:30, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Shocked
I recognise your username Athaenara, but I do not recognise your words. To hold such a belief is one thing, but to say it so plain when it did not need to be said... I'm disappointed. I'm hurt for my candidate to whom we'd already explained RfA can be a nasty experience, but we never expected comments like this. I'm hurt for those who read your remarks and have internalised them. I'm hurting for you, who must have such hatred in your own heart to feel and believe such things, where people are merely trying to live their lives. Simply — how dare you? — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 08:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
