	Hey Orange Mike. You should't have deleted the Lumino Setting page on 13:10, 23 Mar 2009? Your reason of "13:10, 23 March 2009 Orangemike (talk \| contribs) deleted "Lumino setting" ‎ (G12: Blatant copyright infringement: )" does not make any sense because this jewelry-weblog.com clearly copied all their information from the verragio.com site to rank in the search engines.

			Apologies if I missed earlier warnings, or if the file was incorrectly tagged however can I check please your speedy deletion of this photograph. The photograph was important to the article. The reference citation in the article on ] was as follows and my recollection is that a similar citation was present on the photo page:
	== Arthur A. Bentley ==

			{{cite web
	I look at the obituary for Arthur A. Bentley on November 14, 1935 in the La Crosse Tribune. The article mention about his photography career in North Dakota and that he founded the town of Bentley, North Dakota.The article mentioned of he being Mayor of La Crosse until his defeat in 1923. In 1924 he moved to Iowa where he died. The obituary mentioned nothing about Bentley running for governor in 1922 on the Democratic ticket.The obituary is in the archives at the La Crosse Public Library newspaper clipping file.I hope this helps.As always I hope your wife, yourself and your family are doing well.

			The file appears on the Local Government website and the source attributes the photo to "c 1930s". I thought (mistakenly) that all of the correct tags has been used both in the article and also on the photo page. I refer also to the Australian Copyright Council which states that in Australia Copyright has expired in photos taken prior to 1 January 1955. This photograph is therefore approximately 20 years out of copyright. Refer to the copyright regulation here.

			Can I seek your advice please as to how to reverse this or what additional "public domain" style tag you feel was missing which should have been present on this photo to cover any other countries copyright laws etc? This photo has been on this article for almost four (4) years and this is the first time that the PD status / copyright of these very old photos has been raised as an issue.

			Hi, Orange Mike, or other user - this is a request for a second look ie a consideration in deleting the "Some or all of this article's listed sources may not be reliable" note that has been on the ] article since September of 2013. Reliable sources and additional, validated wiki links (including the recently approved article ]) have been provided in the interim, proving it a worthy candidate for no flags. I have no reason to be untruthful that this article is indeed associated with me but that is in no way an indication it is a puff piece or autobiographical piece, nor should it not be considered just as neutral as any other entry. If for some reason it's still considered flag-worthy I'd appreciate an updated explanation and what needs to be secured to have it fully approved. Thanks for your time. ] (])

In creating my own and seeing these I don't quite understand how mine is promotional VS theirs and why I need particular links when these don't seem to have them...I know that I need to authorize the images I'd like to upload to the page, but I'm still waiting to hear how to go about that.

The Hard-Shell Baptist page specifically discusses Lincoln and his childhood churches, so it seemed inappropriate to sever it from his page.

	:::Nonsense. We put FAQs on articles to help stop circular discussions. Your efforts to continually discuss ''the same issue'' are duly noted. The existence of a {{tl\|FAQ}} is neither condoning or comdemning any POV and should strive to be NPOV. Deleting the FAQ is only propogating further circular discussions on which you seem one of the few in favor of. Most editors simply want to know why the image is there, etc. If you wish to discuss every conceivable reason not to have it that is your option but the community's consensus is to leave it as is and move on. You can choose to continue discussion but the same discussion has gone on since 2005 with the only result being to leave the image as is and not censor in any way. Hence the need for a FAQ for thse editors who wish to ask the very same question. ] 02:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

	== Deletion of Swisha ==

	Dear Orangemike,

	I wanted to know why you deleted the page "Swisha" that I attempted to create yesterday. I provided articles written at universities about the artist as well as myspace and facebook pages of more than just the artist that I was writing about. The artist also had sufficient information on his own facebook and myspace page as well as video footage. furthermore, more can be found on youtube about the artist and all of the affilliations written about the artist. These websites are relevant information for artists and public figures and this is where a large part of the media gets their information about artists. Also, there are wiki pages of artists that use myspace and facebook as credible sources so why not now?


	] (]) 16:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


	Right............so words coming not only directly from the source but also had links from articles written at university papers isn't enough?? oh ok, so when the next artist blogs about something on either of these sites and the media catches it and reports on all other sites then we'll write it off as not relevant by your logic. it's obvious you have no clue what you are doing. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 15:43, 30 May 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

	== Deletion of OpenMI Association article ==

	Dear Orangemike, you have deleted a page about the OpenMI Association with the rationale that it is an "Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject." The OpenMI Association are the developers of the OpenMI modelling standard (there is a new article about this in wikipedia) which is used extensively for integrated modelling (mostly in environmental applications). The article about the association was very similar in concept (at least as a wikipedia article) with the article on the Open Geospatial Consortium (http://en.wikipedia.org/Open_Geospatial_Consortium) which is another association that maintains various standards (mostly on geographical and georeferenced data). I would have thought that as far as wikipedia is concerned there would be no reason to keep the one and delete the other (just to be clear - i am arguing that both are interesting and should be kept!). Any advice on elements that perhaps need to be included in the OpenMI Association article to make its importance more obvious would be much appreciated.] (]) 11:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

	Good Morning Orangemike

	I am a relatively new editor, and I would like to have someone more experienced review something I just did. I address myself to you as you are on the talk page.

	As a theatre buff, I am working on the "Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company" page, attempting to remove the blatent adverizing and rewrite it from a neutral point of view. My first step was to add a Theatre Group Infobox to the page. For this type of theatre, the Artistic Director is a significant entry, so I then edited the "Infobox Theatre Group" and added an "ArtisticDirector" line. Everything seemed to work properly and I don't feel it is kludged.

	Would you please review my edits and give me feedback before I proceed

	==Question regarding COI/unblocking==

	Hi, Orangemike-- I'm the web guy for Boston Review, and I'm writing to inquire about unblocking our account. We got banned a couple months ago, and I wanted to appeal on the promise of better behavior in the future. Our wikipedia editors are typically interns, who're instructed to cite notable articles on WP and play by the rules. This typically results in a flurry of unsupervised editing every few months, which is what I suspect got us the current ban.

	Boston Review is a nonprofit, available free online since 1996, and we take our responsibility as a public resource very seriously. In the case of Joseph Carens, we cited his recent 5500 word article in the magazine where he details how his political theory relates to immigration, a major topic of his research and writing. As his entry stands now, there is no other freely available Further Reading resource linked.
			</div>

			] '''Guideline and policy news'''

Speedy deletion of File:1930s photo of the foreshore above Jeffrey Street 001 001004.jpg

hello Orangemike

Apologies if I missed earlier warnings, or if the file was incorrectly tagged however can I check please your speedy deletion of this photograph. The photograph was important to the article. The reference citation in the article on Jeffrey Street was as follows and my recollection is that a similar citation was present on the photo page:

"View to St. Aloysius' College above foreshores of Kirribilli" (photo). 1 copyprint; b&w; 204 x 254 mm, This photograph shows construction on foreshores of Kirribilli above Jeffrey Street. Above the foreshores is St. Aloysius; College incorprating Dr. Cox's home. Whilst barely visible above the trees is the tower of Star of the Sea Church. The homes Greencliffe and Craiglea are also visible on the right hand side above M. Steel boatshed. Jeffrey Street Wharf and Jeffrey Street: North Sydney Council, original publisher unknown. 1930s. Retrieved 27 June 2010. Image 001\001004

The file appears on the Local Government website and the source attributes the photo to "c 1930s". I thought (mistakenly) that all of the correct tags has been used both in the article and also on the photo page. I refer also to the Australian Copyright Council which states that in Australia Copyright has expired in photos taken prior to 1 January 1955. This photograph is therefore approximately 20 years out of copyright. Refer to the copyright regulation here.

<http://www.copyright.org.au/find-an-answer/browse-by-what-you-do/photographers/>

Can I seek your advice please as to how to reverse this or what additional "public domain" style tag you feel was missing which should have been present on this photo to cover any other countries copyright laws etc? This photo has been on this article for almost four (4) years and this is the first time that the PD status / copyright of these very old photos has been raised as an issue.

Is my deleted article stored in the Misplaced Pages database?

I was told my article about Claudia Caporal was deleted because it was biased and I was too "close" to her to be able to write her article. Is there a way to rescue the writing I did for it so that I may then edit it to an appropriate stage for publishing? Thank you. KatieLee92 (talk)

Second consideration appreciated on Talk:Gregor Collins

Hi, Orange Mike, or other user - this is a request for a second look ie a consideration in deleting the "Some or all of this article's listed sources may not be reliable" note that has been on the Gregor Collins article since September of 2013. Reliable sources and additional, validated wiki links (including the recently approved article Goodbye Promise) have been provided in the interim, proving it a worthy candidate for no flags. I have no reason to be untruthful that this article is indeed associated with me but that is in no way an indication it is a puff piece or autobiographical piece, nor should it not be considered just as neutral as any other entry. If for some reason it's still considered flag-worthy I'd appreciate an updated explanation and what needs to be secured to have it fully approved. Thanks for your time. Gregorcollins (talk)

Some words on "ESNA European Higher Education News"

I removed the issues from the top of the page. After spending a few weeks gradually editing this article, I believe the tone is much more neutral, many references and links have been added to integrate it, and it relies much less on primary sources. If there is anything left to be improved, please let me know. Thanks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesfearnley (talk • contribs)

Peer review newsletter #1

Introduction

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:

THANK YOU! I want to thank you for your contributions and for volunteering on the list to help out at peer review. Thank you!
Peer review is useful! It's good to have an active peer review process. This is often the way that we help new or developing editors understand our ways, and improve the quality of their editing - so it fills an important and necessary gap between the teahouse (kindly introduction to our Wikiways) and GA and FA reviews (specific standards uphelp according to a set of quality criteria). And we should try and improve this process where possible (automate, simplify) so it can be used and maintained easily.

Updates

It can get quite lonely tinkering with peer review...

With a bit of effort we can renovate the place to look like this!

Update #1: the peer review volunteers list is changing

The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:

{{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}} - if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.
{{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}} - if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.

We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.

Update #2: a (lean) WikiProject Peer review

I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.

So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.

Update #3: advertising

We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!

And... that's it!

I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
