Sorry, am I missing some fundamental change in the English language here? The {{unrerenced}} template specifically states "This article does not cite any references or sources." The template page states "Don't add this template to articles that contain even one general reference, parenthetical reference, or citation-containing footnote." Since this article now does cite a source, how is the template appropriate? Yet it has now been readded twice, the second time by you. If you are using the template to mean any source except the college's own webpage then you appear to be using it incorrectly. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:37, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

• Pedant. Instead of moaning at me, it would have be more constructive for you have done this edit. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:23, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

No, it would actually have been more constructive for you to have done it instead of ignoring my edit summary and simply reinstating an inappropriate tag. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:19, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

• external links and primary sources dnt count as there still no reference techincally that page coul be afd for notabilty. no user is right no user is wrong. it a very fine line to say which is right or wrong in this case i probally say rhawirth is right but you aos have apoint. as i say its being used as external link so doesnt count as reerence. — Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 13:51, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

super speedy

Is the content in a speedy deleted page (Style of Eye) gone? I could develop it in a user subpage like the msg at the now empty page location says. but I didn't save what I put into the article. can I view the old content somewhere? thanks. skakEL 00:02, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• There has never been an article called Style of Eye. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:23, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

digo Style Of Eye, sorry. I guess I never had time to create that redirect. skakEL 15:09, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• I am surprised than editor with three years experience would be so foolish as to start an article in the (article) namespace. Restored to User:Skakkle/sandbox. Do the words "independent references" suggest anything to you? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:20, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

More like foolhardy. I feel that the article is legit. if my creating it preceded the finding of the references by whomever, then I should not be surprised by the deletion, I guess, right? he almost seems cooler & more underground if he doesn't have an article on en:. anyway, content, like "life" in Jurassic Park, I think, finds a way.

Thanks for dropping the old content off in my sandbox. skakEL 15:43, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• Apologies, foolhardy was the word I should have used rather than foolish. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:01, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Martin Port

Hi there. I noticed that you have been involved in editing the Martin Port page before. I have been asked to edit the copy because of inaccuracies, but I have a conflict of interest with one of his former companies, so posted a question on the Talk:Martin Port page. Having done quite a lot of background research to try and find references to clean it up, it transpires that there's a lot of claims made that are difficult to back up and it's also quite self-promotional. I'm wondering if it should have a speed deletion tag instead? Please advise.Theredrocket (talk) 14.16, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• I don't think I have ever been involved but now you my bring it to my attention … The article has survived nearly two years so, in my view, speedy is inappropriate. But it certainly deserves an hearty {{prod}} or, if you think that might get removed, take it straight to AfD where I will support deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I wasn't aware of {{prod}} - forgive me, I'm far from being a Misplaced Pages expert - so will look at your suggestions and go for one of those. Theredrocket (talk) 11.20, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Phaidra

Speedy deletion declined: Creating Phaidra (digital repository). Hello RHaworth, could you please give me more details why do you think Phaidra (digital repository) is an article about an eligible subject. In my opinion it has the same relevance as Islandora. Regards Raman2012 —Preceding undated comment added 14:21, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• There never has been an article called Creating Phaidra (digital repository). If you are talking about Phaidra (digital repository), then I never declined the speedy. I deleted it because it was an hopelessly short article that scarcely began to describe its subject and never got anywhere near providing evidence of notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:11, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Train Collectors Association

Yesterday I updated the Misplaced Pages page for Train Collectors Association. I apparently did not provide credit appropriately or was too wordy. Please explain what must be done in order to re-post. Thank you. Carol R. McGinnis, TCA National President, Education Specialist, Misplaced Pages Contributor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carol.McGinnis (talk • contribs) 23:54, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

• Interesting phenomenon which I we see occasionally: an article has survived for some time then someone with a COI comes along, turns it into a piece of spam and it gets deleted. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks the association is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:01, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

No purpose

Hello sir! Actually what happened was At the begining i am an new user in Misplaced Pages and i don't know that File Talk pages shouldn't be created without a proper reason and if those were created it was only with such as discussing about the Files we have upoladed and Unknownly i have created those all pages with Explicit means unnecessary (or) waste matter. Being an experienced editor now in Wiki, I felt that those File Talk pages were filled with Explicit matter. By this reason i have requested for CSD. Hoping that you will delete all. Thanking you in advance sir. Have a nice day sir. Raghusri (talk) Raghusri 10:03, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for all those deletions sir. Have a nice day sir. Raghusri (talk) Raghusri 10:19, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Open Food Facts

Open Food Facts speedy deleted: getting a copy? Following a discussion with Cindy (see User_talk:Cindamuse for details), she recommended to contact you to get a copy of the Open Food Facts article, which was speed deleted recently. I will try my best to rewrite the article to meet the Misplaced Pages's guidelines, working first in my user space to avoid repeating the same mistake. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Best regards, DavidBourguignon (talk) 14:05, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

• Text e-mailed. Saw your note to Cindamuse. Some other language wikis do have an approval process for mainspace edits. There seems to be no need for it on the English Misplaced Pages, probably because this wiki is so ferociously policed. For example fr:Open Food Facts has survived for three days. The English version with the same lack of reliable sources was zapped within the hour! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:35, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Dear Roger, thanks for the quick feedback. I received your email and created a page in my personal space on User:DavidBourguignon/Open_Food_Facts, following Cindy's recommandations. My comment about the Misplaced Pages policy is grounded on psychological & emotional facts rather than organisational concerns. I agree with you: the current process is very effective for "policing" the English version of Misplaced Pages, but what about the effect on the poor contributor's mind & morale? Seeing its painfully crafted article, achieved without any WYSIWYG help, "speedy deleted" within an hour, is no fun, really. Therefore, I do think that having an explicit "pending procedure" where articles would remain in user space before approval would relieve most of the stress from the Misplaced Pages community. (This point was on the list of questions in the recent contributor's questionnaire if I remember correctly). What do you think? I would be very glad to know also the opinion of Cindy and other members of the Misplaced Pages editorial team on this. In any case, thanks to you all for your help! Best regards, DavidBourguignon (talk) 09:28, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

A "pending procedure" of the type you suggest, exists at WP:AFC. As an additional note, Misplaced Pages does not have an "editorial team". --Demiurge1000 (talk) 14:45, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

• I think the banner on the new article creation page, covers matters adequately. It points people to the new article wizard - which lands up with an AfC option and it gives a warning that inadequately referenced articles may be deleted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:17, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks Demiurge and Roger for the info. But frankly, this is the first time I see the WP:AFC page and I have been creating/editing Misplaced Pages articles for more than five years. I think their is room for improvement in this area, in my humble opinion. As I said before, an obvious idea would be to consider that articles are stored in user space unless considered valid by an editor. This would avoid many misunderstandings on the contributor's side. Of course, this would also force people into creating an account before working on articles, but I personally see this as a good thing, because it tests their true motivation. Best regards, DavidBourguignon (talk) 11:03, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Jeff Curro1

That redirect didn't seem like an attack - more like a naive move preparatory to expanding Jeff Curro, which is why I gave the reason "improbable typo." Am I missing something? -Lexein (talk) 20:00, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

• You are right. I could not find Jeff Curro in the target list The Howard Stern Show#The Wack Pack so I thought it was someone suggesting their friend should be a member of the pack. On further investigation, I realised my mistake. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:17, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Ah, that's okay. I fixed it in the list now. --Lexein (talk) 06:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Sigma Thêta Pi

Hello RHaworth, I was really surprised to see that you deleted the page Sigma Thêta Pi a few days ago. Can you please explain what motivated you to do so? Cordially, Kheiron STP (talk) 00:15, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

• I too recently noticed that the Sigma Thêta Pi page was deleted. Please consider restoring this article as Sigma Theta Pi is a legitimate and recognized international francophone fraternity. Thank you. Drdpw (talk) 03:22, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Please restore the article Sigma Thêta Pi and put up for formal AFD. – Naraht (talk) 14:32, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
    • I deleted it for the reason stated in my AfD nomination. Interestingly, I was asked recently about my deletion of another Canadian greek sorority - Delta Psi Delta (Canada). I note that the Delta Psi Delta page lists five fraternities but not one of them has its own article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:40, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Regarding the deletion of MGM article

Why did you delete my article so quickly? I didn't even get the chance to express the contest. Faulk (talk) 00:57, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

• Kindly provide a link when you talk here about any article. Deleted for the reason stated in the deletion log entry. As you have just been told: please discuss your proposed changes in talk:genital modification and mutilation. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:05, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of Tiruparankundram dargah.jpg

hi, What sort of copyright violation this File:Tiruparankundram dargah.jpg had? As a contributor, why I was not given a notice before deletion? Wasif (talk) 13:45, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

• There is no obligation on a deleter to notify the author / uploader. The image appears in a slideshow on this page and as http://www.ervadi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Tiruparankundram_dargah.jpg linked from this page so there was ample prima facie evidence of copyvio. However it is significant to note that you uploaded the image on 2009-04-09 and the file path of the second use contains "2010/11" so it is possible that what was found on the web are unacknowledged rip-offs from Misplaced Pages. To convince me, e-mail me (see my home page for address) one of the following: the original of this image (the camera on the Nokia 6110 Navigator has a resolution of 1600×1200) or, if you originated the image at 640×480, another image taken on the same phone as near to 2008-05-24 10:46:59 as possible. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:37, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Another way. You have slightly screwed things up by releasing the image into the public domain but you could contact ervadi.com and ask them very sweetly if they are willing to admit that the image came from here and whether they are willing to acknowledge your authorship on the page that uses it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:46, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

OK will mail ervadi.com and get back. Wasif (talk) 09:37, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Got reply from ervadi.com saying "No where in our website we have claimed copyright for the images or the contents. It clearly means that nothing is of our own." I checked their site, no where in their site they have given a copyright symbol or message. i am damn sure i took in my camera and uploaded. They have took from WP and legally they havenot claimed any copyright. Kindly revert the file.Wasif (talk) 09:45, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Is it too difficult for you to comply with my request for e-mails? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:53, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion of Ashford 4XI Hockey

Can you explain how the article did not explain the significance of the organisation, and how it can be amended in the future to make it viable for wikipedia.org — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.12.223.145 (talk) 15:27, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

• I don't talk to IP addresses. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:00, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Ashford Hockey Club might be notable enough by Misplaced Pages's standards for an article. Read WP:42 carefully and consider whether you can find what it requires. You seem to have been trying to make an article about the 4th XI of that hockey club - which I am quite sure is not notable by Misplaced Pages's standards, in and of itself. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 22:12, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Keeping the Kibbutz - deletion

Earlier today you deleted my Keeping the Kibbutz article before I had an opportunity to fully respond to the copyright issues raised. Because I am new to Misplaced Pages and would rather not have to start from scratch all over again, is it possible to restore the deleted article so that I can revise and/or delete the offending material? — ColdNorthWind2 (talk) 21:30, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

• Actually I never even noticed that the deletion reason was copyvio. What I noticed was a lack of independent references - blogspot is not generally reckoned a reliable source and in any case your link to it was broken. I have e-mailed you the text. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:55, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I hope the additions & changes I've made to the article address your earlier concerns about "lack of notability." I've taken the liberty of removing your tag. Your remark about blogspot.com being not "generally reckoned a reliable source" is noted, except in this instance I think the blogger's remarks are thoughtful and comparative in nature, and therefore worthy of note. - ColdNorthWind2 (talk) 19:00, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

• Orange Mike has replied for me. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:27, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Bullet Raja

You had deleted a page named Bullet Raja (2013 film) but now some reliable reference shows the filming begins.Well then, is it ok to recreate it again. — ---zeeyanketu 09:04, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

• Yes. I assume you will create something more substantial than the single, incomprehensible sentence that Kaushik9135 (talk · contribs) created - twice! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:41, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Dillon Francis

Hi. You indef protected Dillon Francis after a series of hoaxes. A new article has been created at Dillon Francis (musician) and appears to be sourced etc. If you have no objections I'd like to move it to Dillon Francis. Thanks. Tassedethe (talk) 16:56, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

• I would like to see better refs but no objection to the move. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:27, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks, moved. Tassedethe (talk) 20:38, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

For All the Tea in China proposed deletion

Dear Mr. Haworth, For All the Tea in China is a work in progress and I have three more groups of undergraduate freshmen working this coming week on improving and expanding the page. Hopefully, their work will be sufficient to address the question of notability, for which the article is proposed for deletion currently. I ask that the page remain in place for the duration of the coming week. In other words, I am asking for a stay of execution in order that by week's end the page may be reassessed for acceptability.

Thank you for your consideration. Renee Bricker — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbricker (talk • contribs) 15:40, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

• So put work in progress in the proper place! I have moved For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History to User:Rbricker/sandbox. Basic thing to fix: state in the first sentence whether it is a book, movie, or what! We do not duplicate info. on the Sepoy Rebellion, we link to the article about it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:58, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
• Please announce yourselves at Misplaced Pages:school and university projects. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:55, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
• I have moved The Lassa Ward to User:Rbricker/Lassa and The Big Necessity to User:Rbricker/Necessity. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:20, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Deletion???

Hi. May I know why you deleted my talk page? Please respond to this message on my talk page. -- Stopthecrueltyfast (talk) 02:08, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• The recommendation {{please stop chatting}} applies very strongly to you. Or in this case, not chatting but talking about non-events on Misplaced Pages instead of actually contributing to Misplaced Pages. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:55, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Malala Yousafzai

You deleted Conspiracy theories about attack on Malala; the log reads:

Malala Yousafzai#Public reaction is not an article, it is an discussed in only one paragraph is an article sub-section, isn't A10 inappropriate? Or have I missed something? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:39, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The speed-ied article duplicated a topic, ie: the section in Malala Yousafzai. OrangesRyellow is on a mission here, as has already been noted at WP:ANI. - Sitush (talk) 02:59, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• It does not matter whether it duplicates an entire article or an article section. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:55, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Isn't it common to have sections being expanded to a full article. Secondly there is just one paragraph about "conspiracy theory" in the article section. This clearly isn't a case of A10. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 16:35, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• But this was not a section expansion. It was a very short article which could easily have been added directly to Malala Yousafzai. Text e-mailed. Judge for yourself. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:38, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I saw it and was going to remove the speedy deletion tag as I thought that A10 was inappropriate. The deletion happened faster than I could act. Mighty oaks from little arcons grow. The length of the article when it is born isn't reason for its deletion as far as I understand. They are called stubs then. Would it be all right if I paste the former article on its creater's page and then request him to put it in his sand box, so that it could be developed, a review done and then the article recreated? Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:11, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

• Why two stages? Paste it straight to User:OrangesRyellow/Malala. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 02:16, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
  • First thank you for the email. Another thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know that an editor could create a sandbox in the name of another editor. Yogesh Khandke (talk) 02:20, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Nikon f mount

Hi, I saw that you removed my speedy delete request for Nikon f mount, stating that it was heavily used. Are you sure about this? I mean, we still have Nikon F mount (and many others), and they should stay, of course. Assuming Nikon f mount would be deleted, typing "Nikon f mount" in the search box would be catched by Nikon F mount instead, which I find more desirable since the redirect message would read "Redirected from Nikon F mount" rather than "Redirected from Nikon f mount" then. Cheers, --Matthiaspaul (talk) 20:41, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• Viewed 853 times in the last 30 days - says "keep" to me. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

;-) Yes, this number is astonishingly high. However, the question remains, if these hits are actually down to external sites referring to the article under "http://en.wikipedia.org/Nikon f mount" or just people typing in "Nikon f mount" in the search box. In the first case, this would strongly indicate that the redirect should not be deleted, in the second case, the remaining redirect Nikon F mount would catch all these requests once Nikon f mount is gone, so nothing would be broken by deleting it. Can you retrieve a search box statistic as well? Thanks and greetings, --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:50, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

• Sorry, I have no idea how to find search box statistics. But if you find them, please let me know. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:00, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea, either, but in the unlikely event that I stumble upon them, I'll let you know. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:20, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
