Tip of the day

Tip of the day... How to send a message to other editors Communication between editors takes place at Talk pages. To send a message to another editor: Go to their user Talk page (e.g. User talk:xxxxx) Click the "Add topic" button at the top and, when the editing window opens, you can type your message and a subject heading to your post. At the end of your message, include your signature with ~+~+~+~ (~~~~ four tilde characters). Note that user talk pages are publicly viewable, so it is not a private message to the user concerned. Even when deleted, the message is forever viewable in their History. Editor replies: Unless the other user includes a link to your user page in their reply (called a Ping), you will not get a notification that they have responded, so it is a good idea to either check their talk page every now and then, or add it to your Watch list.

YTB

→ see also: Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 31#YourTravelBiz.com and user Copstead

Hello, I see that you once again deleted all the changes I made for YTB. Please do not delete since this is the correct information about the company.

1) The company is YTB not YourTravelBiz. The offical name of the company is YTB International, Inc.

2) The information that has been added to the page is negative attack information that has been added by YTB's competitors.

How can we display correct information if it is always deleted. Please help me since I want to have the correct information up there.

Thank you,

Warning

Hello Copstead. I see that you have resumed editing YourTravelBiz.com and related articles without joining in any discussions. It is likely that you will be indefinitely blocked from editing Misplaced Pages if you are unwilling to engage. You have not replied to the complaint at WP:COIN. EdJohnston (talk) 15:23, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I read all of the information. I am just trying to put correct information regarding YTB. The information that is located on yourtravelbiz page is created by people who want to attack YTB, and competitors. I just don't understand why you don't want correct information up there? Can you please explain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Copstead (talk • contribs) 21:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Field Emission Display edit issue was not resolved

Good morning; I am not sure how you deduced that my copposition to the bulk replacement of the page was resolved, but I assure you that it was not.OldZeb (talk) 07:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Martinez & Caldwell again

Hi Athaenara. Even though the block on our Martinez & Caldwell vandal doesn't expire until June, I continue to monitor for it every day. Today I discovered that he hijacked the page Schnappi using 69.251.215.93 (talk). By the way, are you familiar with Deletionpedia? MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:56, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Getting licked over at Stick Candy

→ in re: Talk:Stick candy#Please use "Discussion"; see also User talk:Athaenara/Archive 3#re:Stick Candy

Hi Ath. In the context of a possible RfA nom, it's come to my attention that I haven't always behaved in a way that's appropriate. Ironically, my heart was in the right place and frequently I was trying to stick up for an editor having a tough time, but I failed to take into account the effect my aggresive tone and manner had on the other editor involved. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you for being brusque. You were clearly acting in good faith and there was no need to make my points in such an abrasive manner. I'll make sure to do better next time. I want Misplaced Pages to be fun and I feel awful that I treated you so shabbily. Sorry about that. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

ClearBooks

→ see also: deletion logs for Clear Books, ClearBooks, user page

Please can you explain why all the accounting wiki pages listed here Comparison of accounting software are permitted, but ClearBooks got deleted? I have used references. I have used a similar format to the accounting software listed in Comparison of accounting software. ClearBooks is a web based accounting software product. These types of online apps are a new growing market that are not represented on wikipedia. These are the fast growth companies that will be competing with the incumbent likes of Sage, QuickBooks and other desktop software packages. For those reasons I believe a) ClearBooks merits its own page on wikipedia b) Once listed it should be represented in the Comparison of accounting software TimFouracre (talk) 08:03, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

{{Uw-coi}} information was posted on your talk page regarding the conflict of interest guidelines.

Did you read any of the linked explanatory pages? — Athaenara ✉ 23:00, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes. References and impartial and that's what I attempted. I first tried creating Clear Books a while back and got feedback from the person that deleted that that I should try again with references in the future. I did this but put it on ClearBooks as that is the correct name.

My talk page that got deleted was me writing the article first on a test page.

Look at this for example ALERE Accounting which only has external links to itself and very little content. How is that permitted, but the article I wrote deleted?

It's just a bit annoying that the article is deleted with no record, and my time has been wasted. In your view what needs to be done to the original article to make it satisfactory?

Thanks

Cheers!

Sober Living by the Sea

Hi there. I noticed you tagged this article by using {{subst:db-g11}}. Please remember that db-tags usually should not be substituted, unlike prod-tags. Regards SoWhy 12:40, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

If template substitution is inadvisable for a template there is normally a caution against it, but in this case it is mentioned neither on the template page (current version) nor on Template talk:Db-meta (current version). Should it be specified there? — Athaenara ✉ 23:22, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Tenaya Capital page deletion

→ in re: deleted article

Dear Athaenara,

The Tenaya Capital wiki page was put up for speedy deletion yesterday. I made edits to the page deleting non-neutral adjectives (such as "leading venture capital firm") from the site as well as minimizing links to the Tenaya Capital website, except where appropriate (such as linking to a list of portfolio companies). People curious about the group have been searching Misplaced Pages for a Tenaya Capital entry. Please consider putting the article back up or giving me feedback on how to improve its format. I appreciate your help!

Cheers, R Champ08

Champ08 (talk) 10:36, 21 April 2009 —Preceding undated comment added 17:43, 21 April 2009 (UTC).

The Tenayacapital account was blocked (log) at 22:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC). Fifteen minutes later, the Champ08 account was registered (log). The third edit from that account removed the {{db-spam}} tag.

Onyx Pharmaceuticals

→ in re: deleted article; see also User talk:EGagnon7224/Sandbox

Hi Athaenara,
I apologize again for the confusion Monday regarding the Onyx Pharmaceuticals company page. I have posted an updated draft of the article on my talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/User talk:EGagnon7224. I expanded on the notability of the company and added additional 3rd party references.

As noted Monday, Onyx Pharmaceuticals is a publicly traded company on NASDAQ (ONXX) with an approved targeted therapy for liver cancer and advanced kidney cancer.

Please review for consideration on Misplaced Pages and advise on any additional steps necessary for posting this page.

Thanks,

I think its use on Sharda group of institutions was perhaps too broad. I take a rather broad view of the criterion myself--PR people frequently complain. But that article was informative in part DGG (talk) 21:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

E-Slate article

→ in re: deleted article

Why are you deleting E-Slate article for copyright infringement? I'm one of the E-Slate authors (George Birbilis - http://www.zoomicon.com) and I can't site our text from http://e-slate.cti.gr because some other guys at Edumedia wiki copied the text to their wiki first? (not that I mind them having copied our text there). E-Slate is free educational software used in Greek schools (and in other places in the worlds). Parts of it are opensource (e.g. E-Slate Logo)

Note that E-Slate is historical software (not being actively developed since its team has split or left many years ago) and I was at E-Slate team from 1997 to 2001 so I have lots of years detachment from it. The text does need some editing to also add shortcomings of the platform, but is pretty much accurate to what E-Slate offers in the educational and academic spaces. Saying original text can't be reused on Misplaced Pages even if its authors say it can, just because some others copied it somewhere else first sounds strange to me —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tziortzioti (talk • contribs) 15:11, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Your article was tagged {{db-g11}} for speedy deletion as advertising/promotion as well.

{{Uw-coi}} information was posted on your talk page regarding the conflict of interest guidelines (diff).

Did you read any of the linked explanatory pages? — Athaenara ✉ 03:30, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Why would I advertise free software that is already established in educational space since before 2000?

Not being part of the software team anymore (the project isn't actively updated, just maintained now), I don't feel I have conflict of interest —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tziortzioti (talk • contribs) 07:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

You haven't responded on your aledged copyright infringement claim (on which you based the deletion of the article)! Who says text on E-Slate site can't be used (authored by the E-Slate team which I was a part of) just cause someone copied it verbatim at the EduMediaWiki? This is absurd! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tziortzioti (talk • contribs) 08:00, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting my user subpages. Am I allowed to have my talk page archive deleted as well, since all of the messages are still in my talk page history? GT5162 18:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome. Cleaning up subpage space is fine, but I think talk archive deletion is a bad idea. You can ask other admins or just tag it for deletion and await results. — Athaenara ✉ 01:46, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

2008 Torch Relay and Commons

I did not provide any permission for my images to be moved from EN Wiki onto Commons. Refer to the preface on w:en:User:Benlisquare/Gallery.

Do you have time for an online interview?

Endulge my abruptness. I'm a university student working on a research project about Misplaced Pages. I saw your name on the 3O Wikipedians category; if I've read everything right, it must mean you have quite a lot of experience in offering 3O. I'd really appreciate it if you bother to share some of it with me... If you're able to give some help, please contact me on my User Talk. I'll mail you some questions. Thanks.
