• If your article was speedy deleted, please read the reason in the deletion log. Also note that, while I may have been the one to actually perform the deletion, another editor was likely the one who actually tagged it for deletion. If so, they left a message on your talk page, so please read the information there first. It might be a good idea to have a dialogue with them in lieu of with me.
• If your article was about a band, please see WP:MUSIC. Misplaced Pages administrator User:Chrislk02 explains our speedy deletion of band articles in more depth here.
• If your article was about a company you work for, founded, etc., please see WP:COI. Chances are your article looked like WP:SPAM. Take a moment to think about whether it could be considered advertising.
• If your article was a joke... no thanks.
• If I reverted content that I say was unsourced or poorly sourced, please see WP:RS. Verifiability is taken seriously around here.

• Post a new message at the bottom of my talk page. If you post it at the top, do something to break the formatting of this page, or replace everything on this page with your question, I will likely ignore and/or delete it. Common courtesy, please.
• For a new topic, use a headline that's more descriptive than "my article". For best results, make the topic the title of the article. I deal with scores of articles a day, and I'm not going to go hunting for one.
• Sign and date your entries using ~~~~ or the signature icon in the toolbar above the edit box.
• Avoid comparisons and provide reliable sources for me to consider. Glib rants that compare your three-piece garage metalcore band to Metallica or that say your website is just as important as Google generally won't sway anyone.
• Communication that is in ALL CAPS, is barely in English, lacks punctuation, is otherwise poorly worded or incoherent, contains profanity/personal attacks, or generally assumes bad faith will likely be reverted. I have no obligation to respond to anything that I feel does not benefit the project.

• If there is an issue that you feel requires or would benefit from my attention and administrative tools specifically, because we have communicated regarding it previously or you have other reasons to believe I might be the right person to deal with it, please feel free to create a section on my talk page!
• However, for general requests for administrative actions, it is best to file a report at the proper venue (WP:AIV, WP:RFPP, WP:ANI, etc.) instead of pinging me specifically, for the reasons outlined below.
• While it may appear that I am active based on my recent contributions, I do tend to jump from task to task here (and between here and the "real world") quite frequently. Thus, even though I may be actively performing administrative work during one short spell, I may not be during the next, instead focusing on another task (either on-wiki or in the "real world").
• Likewise, if I have a high level of activity at a particular board and have actioned many reports, but not one that you have already filed there, it may be because I do not feel comfortable actioning it: I may not have a full understanding of the context and/or history or actually be involved with the editor/article in some way.
• That being said, any information you provide with the good-faith intention of maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia, either here or to the relevant noticeboard, is appreciated! Rest assured that someone will act on it appropriately in due time.

Are you able to add back the Auto Confirmed users for the page? TorontoTransportGuy 17:12, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello! Yesterday you blocked the user Paulii122222 for socking. I suggest you also take a look at user Paul2244567, who recently created an article about Universum Studio. Last August an article on the same subject was created by Pauilii12222 (since deleted). Thanks for checking on this. I am taking the Universum Studio article to AfD, so if you find out anything relevant, you might say so at that discussion. --MelanieN (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Ah yes, the socking appears obvious, given that all of these users are involved in creating articles about the nonexistent television show Alex and Amy and its alleged star, so I've blocked on those grounds per WP:DUCK. As for this article, as you state at the AfD, there is the possibility that it might not actually be a hoax, so I'll do a little more investigating and chime in there when I get the chance. Thanks for letting me know! --Kinu /_c 16:53, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello. You restored the sentences I deleted regarding Yale University "Campus Life" as regards homosexuals. I deleted the sentences because I thought it was unimportant, unnecessarily promotional of the lifestyle, and clearly politically motivated. The facts of the "Campus Life" section should end with the statistics. Why should we care about sexual orientation within the student body32.211.77.32 (talk) 19:41, 3 April 2015 (UTC)?

I believe the content is properly sourced, objective, and an appropriate discussion for this section; indeed, I would say that this section should likely be split off and expanded using additional reliable sources. I find no basis in your claim that the content is "promotional of the lifestyle" and "clearly politically motivated"; ironically, I find your estimation that this content violates WP:NPOV to be a highly POV-laden statement itself. If you wish to contest its inclusion or discuss the general organization of the article, please do so at the article's talk page. Thank you. --Kinu /_c 22:00, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Well, I looked at six other Ivy League university Misplaced Pages entries, and NONE mentioned anything about gay campus life. Clearly you have an axe to grind and are grinding it on Yale University's Misplaced Pages entry. I would ask why this is so. And again: why should anybody care? Why don't you include all the other Politically Correct cultural groups in the "Camp[us Life" section, expanding your version to include all but white men (the only official group you're allowed to discriminate against)? Frankly, I care very little about the entire affair - but it seems I have no power to do anything regardless of whether I am correct in my assertions. Apparently, I need to be politically correct. I hear the transvestite action is pretty good as well - why don't you add that to the "Campus Life" section as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brprivate (talk • contribs) 20:44, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

For not caring at all, you seem to be the one with an axe to grind here. Unless you can explain why your removal of sourced content is justified on the article's talk page without resorting to soapboxing or POV screeds, you're not going to get very far here. --Kinu /_c 20:48, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps I am wrong, but this User:Kingpapiofficial looks like sockpuppet of Mahendra Niraula, especially due to this edit. What do you think? The Banner talk 03:55, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

The poor grammar certainly looks suspicious, of course, but I'm hesitant to call it a WP:DUCK right now, since that first edit might have been random vandalism. An SPI might not be unreasonable, though, if you feel like it's worth it. I'll keep an eye on that account in case the pieces fall into place, of course. --Kinu /_c 18:59, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Could I trouble you to delete User_talk:PINGAS_SUCKER please. You indeffed them yesterday. In the cleanup I CSded one of their attack pages, but the script dumped a welcome message back onto their freshly-deleted talk: I tried to get this shifted today, but there has been an outbreak of remarkable wiki-stupidity and a bizarre defence of this page's right to continue (See ). If only we were so good at defending articles sometimes... Thanks Andy Dingley (talk) 19:00, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Done, per the rationale given in the deletion log. Thanks for letting me know. --Kinu /_c 19:08, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Seriously, you are going a bit over the top. Please remember that speedy deletion of the page was declined twice by two different administrators. 103.6.156.167 (talk) 17:42, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you marked the user as a sockpuppet. Are there any other accounts I should be looking for? And should I request for temporary semi protection? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I think the only sock was the one I tagged and blocked. I don't think protection is necessary right now, but I'll keep an eye on it in case any other new socks pop up and continue the same behavior. --Kinu /_c 15:35, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I found the "strongest" argument to date for why I should undelete/keep an article about an artist,but there was nothing about "soothing voice" exceptions in WP:GNG on it so I had to decline it. "...and if you are still not convinced, do a google search for <artist here> and listen to her soothing voice....". Chrislk02 12:33, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

I've been told my voice is soothing. Where's my article?! :D --Kinu /_c 19:45, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi

I am contacting you because you helped block a user (User_talk:Zachtron#Blocked) after he made up articles and I found your name in all three deletion discussions:

• Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Rocket_Records
• Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Christopher_Pasquin
• Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Tim_Coons

I suspect he is back, because someone is constantly editing the following articles:

• Cheiron Records (redirect page)
• Cheiron Studios

Cheiron Studios was a Swedish production company that was shut down 15 years ago, but this user keeps adding information about a “revival”. The new company is based in USA and is of course run by Christopher Pasquin, who is linked to Rocket Records and Tim Coons (same story as last time). There is no evidence and on this “revived” company’s website the same statements are repeated (Tim Coons’ company being world-renowned etc.). As you can read in the deletion discussions, several of the sources back then were made up. One of the references he used this time for his article Cheiron Records (I have now reverted it to a redirect page, but I don’t know how long it will last) is a discogs.com biography he wrote himself.

When I revert his edits and ask for reliable sources he only undoes my edits and calls them vandalism. What should I do?

84.209.76.114 (talk) 12:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Requesting your help. These 2 articles in question are continuously being vandalized by this IP address user. There is no mention of a Rocket Records, Pasquin, or Coons, and I suspect this user is actually some kind of fan or sock puppet with a spam agenda. This IP user mysteriously popped up the other day when no edits to the 2 pages in question had been made in many months. I tried undoing the Vandalism a few times hoping this IP user would stop, but now it seems hopeless as he or she is trying to use these articles as a way to force attention on himself or herself. Please view the history of both articles and you can see when this IP user first began initiating Vandalism on the 2 articles out of the blue the other day. Music2015 (talk) 16:12, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)I've been following this battle, and the IP makes sense. Music2015, this is at worst a content dispute, it is definitely not vandalism, and calling someone a vandal when they are not vandalizing is a personal attack, which can get you blocked. Whether or not this account is related to User:Zachtron, the article should probably be deleted and the re-direct restored, as none of the sources in any way tie the current American Cheiron Records (which certainly exists), to the old Swedish studio. I could start a record company, and call it Gennett Recordings, but that doesn't mean my company would have anything to do with the legendary, defunct record label. This name-dropping and attempt to inherit notability is frankly very similar to previous behavior regarding Pasquin/Coons. Where are any reliable, independent sources that mention this new record label with the old name? 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 17:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

I would have to respectfully disagree with you completely on that. The company is an official revival using logos, music, photos, history, and much more copyrighted content. Any of us could start a record company and name it whatever we want, i.e. "Bob's Records", but you have to have legal licenses and ownership of a brand (especially with that famous history) to do what they are doing, especially as an active company distributing music. I also see absolutely no mention of a Pasquin or Coons in the history of either Wiki article in question, just the company's/brand's history itself. Also, I never called the user a vandal, I simply pointed out what I perceived to be Vandalism of the 2 articles in question. That is not personal attack. I simply see no valid justification or good faith editing to alter the articles in question, but perhaps others can chime in.

Music2015 (talk) 17:40, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

You haven't answered 78's question: "Where are any reliable, independent sources that mention this new record label with the old name?" And as for not calling the IP a vandal, what do you think this is: "... are continuously being vandalized by this IP address user"? - David Biddulph (talk) 17:46, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

I perceived what took place out of the blue with no good faith editing to be Vandalism. If I'm wrong for that, then sorry. Also, this is not a new record label we are talking about here and the independent sources already in the article are about the label itself and its vast history. This is not an article about some completely new company or music studio from Sweden which is now in America. An official revival with logos, music, and more is much different than creating something new and simply naming it after something old to get some notoriety. That is the way I see it at least.

Music2015 (talk) 17:57, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

For the THIRD time (and I apologise to other readers for shouting): "Where are any reliable, independent sources that mention this new record label with the old name?" - The only source in your article which mentions any connection is not independent. - David Biddulph (talk) 18:00, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Fine, I guess we will leave 78's most recent revert to the Cheiron Studios article in place until better independent sources become available. I'm not fully comfortable with this given that this so-called "new" Cheiron Studios seems to be an official revival of the same exact company/brand in question, complete with logos, history, licenses, and more, but it is what it is I suppose. Good day.

Music2015 (talk) 19:05, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately he does not respond to that question. I have tried: http://www.discogs.com/submissions?user=CheironRecords#user=CheironRecords&item=label%2FCheiron (registration required, but I may provide screenshots if desired). I have asked him to prove that this company has acquired the rights to the Cheiron brand from Sony Music (Cheiron Studios was owned by BMG). I even confronted him with the fact that the original Cheiron staff does not appear to be informed (Sveriges Radio had a documentary about Cheiron Studios just a month ago). He completely ignores the burden of proof and asks me to get in touch with Pasquin’s company in order to get the sufficient evidence. My guess is that he hopes I will email them using my full name so that they will know my identity. He has already threatened me on Discogs with legal actions for “slandering” the company by asking for proofs. 84.209.76.114 (talk) 19:12, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

84.209.76.114, you are in clear violation of a personal attack against me, as I have never been a Discogs website editor in my entire life. You obviously have an issue going on over at Discogs with somebody there, but I would appreciate you not confusing me with that person and saying on here that I am the one who threatened you on Discogs. Your false statement is a blatant personal attack against me and is a direct violation of Misplaced Pages policy. Get your facts straight and don't confuse me with some Discogs editor you are fighting with.

Music2015 (talk) 19:53, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Oh, please … On 21 December 2014 a Discogs account named CheironRecords was created. Whoever created it only edited label pages belonging to Cheiron. No reliable sources were provided. Only hours later your account on Misplaced Pages was registered and the only edits you made were to the articles about Cheiron. You even used the Discogs biography written a few hours earlier as a source. It is also an incredible coincidence, to use your own words, that you have undone my WP edits about the same time CheironRecords answered me on Discogs. Every. Single. Time. Both you and “not you” have failed to provide even a single reliable source for the information that you have submitted. Your language is the same. Both you and “not you” claim to have nothing to do with Cheiron (even though the nick on Discogs was CheironRecords!). On Discogs, “not you” threatened me with legal actions: “attorneys might be highly interested in having your IP address traced” (go on btw, it is 84.209.76.114 (IPv4) / 2a02:fe0:c412:1741:6d0e:fe5a:f0a4:7ffa (IPv6)). How would you know my IP if not for Misplaced Pages? Discogs does not reveal that information. I understand that you want to promote your company, but both Discogs and Misplaced Pages are fact based sites. You need to provide sources. 2A02:FE0:C412:1741:6D0E:FE5A:F0A4:7FFA (talk) 20:30, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

(PS. 2a02:fe0:c412:1741:6d0e:fe5a:f0a4:7ffa = 84.209.76.114. My browser alternates between IPv4 and IPv6, I do not know why) 2A02:FE0:C412:1741:6D0E:FE5A:F0A4:7FFA (talk) 20:32, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Your IP address is available for all to see right here on Misplaced Pages since you are editing as an IP. For the last time, take your Discogs argument elsewhere and stop tying me in with them. This is Misplaced Pages, not Discogs, and your whole intent is to obviously draw attention to yourself which is why you started messing with the Wiki articles about Cheiron in question in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised at all if you are the same person(s) or a Sock Puppet of the blocked Rocket/Coons/Pasquin article creators you keep obsessing over and brought to the forefront because you sure seem to be behaving like them from the archived deletion logs you provided above. How many times were the Cheiron articles edited recently until you started "not vandalizing" them and immediately began drumming up conversation about Rocket Records/Coons/Pasquin? You seem to be fighting multiple fires with multiple people across multiple platforms trying to create whatever attention you can about these Coons and Pasquin guys, classic Sock Puppet behavior. Also, I checked out your multiple mile long Discog rants and they are scrolls of text, just like the long scrolls of text written by the banned Sock Puppets. Coincidence? I don't think so. Take your reverse psychology nonsense and quit trying to get attention for yourself (or your Rocket friends). You guys were banned a year ago, move on.

By the way, I see that it was an elaborate team of Sock Puppets who were banned, and they had multiple long conversations and fake arguments with themselves just like it appears you are doing on Discogs. Your same behavior is hardly a coincidence.

Music2015 (talk) 21:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

“your whole intent is to obviously draw attention to yourself”
That’s why I use an anonymous IP, right?

“multiple long conversations and fake arguments with themselves just like it appears you are doing on Discogs”
You gave yourself away there. You are now accusing me of creating the Discogs account “CheironRecords” in order to have fake arguments with myself. Well, that user added the information that you added to Misplaced Pages hours later. If I did create that account in order to troll, that means your edits are built on made up information.
