== Great Big Bowl of Porridge ==

I'm not quite sure why that caused such outrage. I moved a very large section from article which several editors had flagged as massively POV and completely unsubstantiated. Because no one wanted it kept but people wanted it discussed but it was too large for the Talk page, I moved it out of the article temporarily and gave it a name so unlikely that no casual Wiki reader would stumble across it by accident. It's not supposed to be an article, it's material which is under review by other editors. We can give it a name which will fool people into thinking it's a proper article if you like, but I don't think that's a good idea. I see that you have now completely deleted all the material, which is precisely what those of us who were going to be discussing it and seeing if we could rescue any of the text for the article did not want to happen. Please don't take the axe to other people's material and delete it irrevocably without any consultation whatsoever, and without stopping to think a little and ask exactly what is going on. You have now cost us a lot of time and effort.--] (]) 16:29, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Please note: Nothing here is ever lost and mistakes can be made. I've made more than my share. If I deleted a page of yours, please feel free to question the deletion. Odds are real good I'll put it back if it isn't nonsense or vandalism. Just be nice. Thanks.

Spread the joy of Thanksgiving by adding {{subst:HappyThanksgiving}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Deeanne Gist

Please revert the deletion of the article on novelist Deeanne Gist. As an award winning, best-selling author, her notability is clear. Her fans just need time to improve the article. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg.Hartley (talkcontribs) 21:11, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Haroon ur Rasheed / reverted Model Town Humak page

There was no Misplaced Pages article on a famous Pakistani columnist Haroon ur Rasheed, so I thought to take this initiative and created a page for him. But you deleted that page within few minutes. Yes, it was just created and at that time 'article had no meaningful, substantive content', but you did not let others to contribute!

Dear PMDrive1061, you also reverted my edits in Model Town Humak. Now, I am very curious about your explanation. I am native of this town, yet you reverted my edits. You have even reverted a spelling correction of word 'gazette' by me, it was spelled 'gazzette'. Please explain.

I would appreciate if you could reconsider your actions in aforementioned regard.

Thanks Chjohnny (talk)

Epoxy Moisture Control Systems (Flooring)

I don't understand the note that you sent me. I paraphrased a sentence in an article from an industry expert and cited it as required, but my entire post was deleted for copyright infringment. Can you please explain to me how I can correct this?

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tivona schneider (talkcontribs) 16:07, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


Hi. If the content was original, it would likely be OK to keep. Problem was, it read as if it was a cut-and-paste and was promotional in nature as well. You were off on the right foot by citing your sources, though. The best advice I can give would be to direct you to WP:YFA which will help with a first article and its layout. You're also more than welcome to ask me or other users for help as well. Good luck and I hope this helps. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:11, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


Hi, PMDrive,

Thank you for your response. This is not my first article. It may have read as if it were a cut and paste, but it was authored by myself and a colleague. Would it help to take out the cited material? I would appreciate any help you can offer, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tivona schneider (talkcontribs) 20:32, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Chasing the Sky Deletion

So I've been trying to create a page about a local band I've been following, which you've deleted. This band is pretty important in our community and have been involved in a lot of philanthropic causes since their existence. I've cited sources including our local press, several music magazines, and an emmy award winning radio host's show (on which he's praised this band many times). Any reason for the deletion?

Block

Re this: Sorry, I should have looked at the editor's talk page, instead of leaving it up to you. This is one of the disadvantages of automated CSD tagging. Thanks for the block, Drmies (talk) 02:46, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

  • PM, it's a small world. I leave you a note on something, and I leave a note on an article talk page about a completely unrelated subject, and I find they (you, me, and another editor, see above) come together on your talk page--coincidence? or divine intervention? Who knows. Please have a look at Talk:Theoria. I may have quickly gotten in over my head and am unsure how to proceed--maybe ANI? Drmies (talk) 03:50, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Wolkersdorf Kannada page deletion

Hello there

I had only translated the Wolkersdorf Misplaced Pages article from English to Kannada. It does not contain any extraneous or superfluous information. I would appreciate if you can please restore the page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Narayan.Shastri (talkcontribs) 10:22, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
