To answer your question in two parts (a) this was the second deletion of the article in 20 days, and (b) during the 2nd AfD process clear breaches of ] were raised - most specifically by Ed O'Loughlin himself (as detailed . To my mind and as a result of the overall consensus reached, the combination of those factors required a salting - certainly at this time, and were agreed with by another administrator who had actually argued for retention of the article during AfD. That said I understand your point and the future may see an appropriate reconsideration of this outcome but IMO that should only occur if (1) an editor can start such an article in sandbox which (2) an administrator or other senior editor can see is the start of an article that does not infringe BLP. Then when posted (after reversion of the current protection) the article can be protected again if necessary to stop the type of BLP concerns that had occurred earlier.

| :I also saw the note on Ed O'Loughlin's talk page and fully agree with A.B.'s comments. There was a strong consensus that Mr O'Loughlin does not meet the relevant criteria for an article. Given that it proved impossible to maintain a neutral article on him, I don't see any reason to encourage a new one at this stage. I'd also add that ] explicitly applies to user pages as well as articles, so it may not be appropriate to create a trial page there either without a deletion review first concluding that an article on Mr O'Loughlin would be justified. --] (]) 06:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script.

I took that request to the project's talk page (]) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as {{Noping|Manishearth}}'s ]) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy. | |||

| == The Great Banquet - deletion == | |||
| You recently removed the article The Great Banquet citing "blatant copyright violation". The copyvio is inaccurate, as I did cite the source, and even received explicit permission from the originator for my paraphrase (permission for a paraphrase is not even necessary, anyway) on the article's discussion page? Furthermore, the website cited by Redfarmer, and agreed to by yourself, as having been infringed was not the originator of the description that was paraphrased to begin with! DJ Clayworth's assertion that the scope of the movement is limited to one event at one church is ignorant (this is not an insult - just factual, showing a lack of any fact checking at all on his part), and completely unfounded, as easily evidenced by the link I provided in my "Keep" response on the . that link show the location of hundreds of Cursillo movements, including The Great Banquet. (That link, by the way, was also included in the article.) The copyright violation assertion is simply wrong - period. Just because a website has a copyright notice at the bottom of the page, does not mean they originated all the text within the page. They paraphrased Lampstand's on their site, just as many other communities have: , , , , , , , , et.al. I did get to wondering, though, if my article might be appropriate as a sub-article under the Cusillo article, anyway, as the Great Banquet, as is noted in the text, is a "spin-off" of the Cursillo movement anyway... Continuing to contend that the article was a copyvio is simply irresponsible. I understand you are absolutely swamped with articles to review, and may not have time to research each perceived violation; and I understand it is reasonable to trust your regular contributors/editors before some "newbie". But please take just a minute to look through the references I have provided, and reconsider reinstating the article. I will do my best to make any additional edits to make the article more palatable. But the historical information and description of the movement is factual, and not contested in any way. The scope of the movement is hugely noteworthy, with a 60 year international history, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of worldwide "Cursillo method" weekend alumni. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 03:36, 26 January 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> -Sorry - forgot to sign. ] (]) 03:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

The weekend includes fifteen talks, some given by clergy and some by lay people. One emphasis of the weekend is on preparing those undergoing it to take the movement's methods back into the world, on what they call the "fourth day". To assist alumni in after the weekend, the Great Banquet community offers specific opportunities. First, "fourth day" "reunion groups" may be established to examine their goal of spiritual growth and encouragement. Second, alumni may assist in future Great Banquet weekends. Third, guests are made aware of community needs via communications with other Great Banquet communities, locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.</i> | |||

| ::<i>The Great Banquet is a 72-hour experience, beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening. For three days, guests live and study together in a worshipful time of singing, prayer and discussion. During each of the fifteen talks given by laity and clergy, the theme of God's grace is presented. Guests participate in the daily celebration of Holy Communion and examine more fully the presence of Christ in His body of believers. They personally experience His grace through the prayers and acts of a loving, Christian support community. | |||

| Thanks, VS, for continuing the thread. Well, those are quite some hoops to jump through... I cannot offer documented proof of law. One cannot create a historical log of the web server time-stamps and archives from the past many years to ''prove'' such a thing. But it is certainly implicit that the originator of the movement precedes the locales to which the movement spread. The discussion page for the original article (which I can no longer access) contains a statement from Lampstand Ministries giving permission to use the text from their site. I contacted Lampstand directly, asked them to register with Misplaced Pages, asked that they check the article for accuracy and acceptability, and provide permission to use text from their copyrighted website if they felt it appropriate; they did so on Friday afternoon - USA East time. I'm sure they would be happy to place the "I am the owner..." statement on the article if it becomes reposted - I would definitely contact them again to do so... | |||

That said the AfD should stay there for its 5 day nominated time-slot but you should rest assured that other editors will see your work and nominate keep, delete or merge as a result of the changed pages - and in many cases take a moment to adjust the 'rough edges' you speak of.

I should also note that as an administrator on wikipedia I only tagged your article as part of the normal process that occurs when an editor puts a request for speedy deletion up on a page and another editor asks for the community to "hang-on". I do not have any personal view about your article. I suggest that you might get some more help from ] as he was the first to put the tag up. Normally editors who have taken the time to tag an article for speedy deletion are happy to provide more information. I will post a note to him about this conversation but also you can at any time contact him and ask questions. Just remember three important rules, stay civil, stay calm and keep editing. Best wishes. --] <sup>]</sup> 12:14, 26 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

Click on one or two (or more) and have a look how the numerous editors have written an article based on fact and have removed the style of advertising spiel that will make an article more brochure and less encyclopaedia. Don't worry about being as good as this straight up but try and get more of this style into your blogged.com article. You have about 2 or 3 days to sway the reviewers who will come to post a suggestion of keep, delete or merge on the AfD discussion.--] <sup>]</sup> 12:29, 26 January 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi VirtualSteve, | |||
| I just had a question on why my Rack N Road entry was deleted. I'm not quite sure how it could be considered blatant advertising because it was just going over the history of the store as well as the services it provides. Looking at REI's entry, I don't see a real big difference, and if anything REI's entry is much more "blatant advertising" then my entry was. I also noticed that a peer in the industry "Rack Attack" also had their entry flagged. REI's has never been touched. Maybe their entry should be looked over once again. Please let me know what I can do to change our article to fit within Misplaced Pages's guidelines. I definitely read through the different Misplaced Pages sections on good editing and I felt I had follow them quite well. Thank you for your time. | |||

deOrphaning script
Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Opted-out of message delivery to your user talk page.
