Misplaced Pages

Rising Sun Performance Company

Rising Sun Performance Company is a major off-off-Broadway company and should not have been deleted. --Scottandrewhutchins 06:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• The article did not provide any proof that it is "major," and was proposed for deletion by another editor. Per the guidelines at WP:PROD, it was deleted after 5 days as no one objected. --cholmes75 16:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Re. Relakks

Hi, I represent the Swedish company Relakks. I recently visited both the English and the Swedish Misplaced Pages sites to find out what information that was posted about our Relakks Safe Surf service. I found that there was a little information posted since before but the majority of the facts about the service was wrong. I therefore edited the two pages and corrected the facts. At first I also wrote positive about the service. When I revisited the site the next day someone had added a negative comment about the service. I sat down and thought about what to do for a minute or so. My conclusion was that the right thing to do was to delete both the positive and the negative comments in order to make Misplaced Pages the neutral and informative service I think it should be to its users. After that last edit there was only neutral and correct information about the service and as mentioned above I think that's what Misplaced Pages is all about.

So today I payed the site another visit only to realize that you had deleted the entire page. Now I wouldn't have complained if there would've been lots of incorrect and/or misleading information. But there wasn't. Neither do I think that the article matched criteria CSD G11. (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Criteria) I would like an explanation and a proper motivation to why the article was removed. The Swedish article is still active which is also remarkable I must say since the English and the Swedish texts are as identical as can be.

I'm looking forward to your response.

• Your article removed because it was in fact spam for your company. When an article contains a price list for services and addresses the reader directly, that's usually not a good thing. Please see our guidelines on WP:SPAM for more information. In addition, the article did not in any way establish the notability of your company, which is also a measure that many admins use here. As I am not an admin on the Swedish Misplaced Pages, I cannot comment on their rules and regulations regarding articles on companies. If you wish, you may visit our Deletion Review page and request a review of my deletion. If other editors/admins agree that the article does belong on Misplaced Pages, they can simply restore it. If you have any other questions let me know. --cholmes75 14:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Sounds fair enough! So what do I have to do to get us back on track. At the end of the day all I wanted was for a short presentation of the service to be shown in the Misplaced Pages. Of course there shouldn't be a price list. I couldn't find the Relakks article on the Deletion Review page. Could you please clarify what I need to do to correct my wrong? (I have now removed the price list from the Swedish Misplaced Pages as well) -- relakks_admin 17:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• On the deletion review page, go to the section labeled "Decisions to be reviewed." It has instructions for listing the article so the deletion can be reviewed. --cholmes75 16:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage. Ironically, I do actually like pickles. Veinor (ヴエノル) 01:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

User:User:Curtis Clark

Not exactly sure if I should report this or not. User:Thekid2323 has slightly vandalized one page and is arguing about it over an apparently unrelated user User:Curtis Clark on Curtis's userpage. After I reverted and left a note on Thekid's talk page, he made User:User:Curtis Clark with the same message. Not sure what it's all about but someone probably should check it out? Hopefully this isn't just a misunderstanding on my part. ^_^; -WarthogDemon 03:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

User Snowolfd4 block

Hi, thanks a lot. I presume there is a bigger problem, the user is using multiple open proxies to login and vandalize my page and also issue death threats. I see two IPs rightaway: 208.101.4.34 and also 203.171.70.136. I would like to know about the user who has left a msg in my page and his relationship with the user profile: Snowolfd4. Kindly help and prevent such profiles from issuing such warnings in Misplaced Pages. Thanks for your help. Sudharsansn (talk • contribs) 17:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

That's actually the only thing I want to get fixed for now. I would greatly appreciate if you could figure out the relationship between these IPs and the User and get the user blocked as it is very malicious to have them around!! Thanks for your help Sudharsansn (talk • contribs) 18:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Good to block 208.101.4.34 and 203.171.70.136 IPs. But if you are heading to block Snowolfd4 , you should think twice because Sudharsansn and his company(NCSLC) is always having edit wars with Snowolfd4. So this can be a trap that set up against Snowolfd4 by NCSLC. ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  18:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This what Sudharsansn’s buddy Sechzehn did to me. He tried to hook me up for this incident. .  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  19:17, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I did block the one IP address, but not Snowolfd4. He was blocked by another admin. I will continue to keep an eye on developments. --cholmes75 19:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

It is not clear whether Lahiru_k is innocent in all of this. These series of vandalisms and threats occurred, after I had given a civility warning to Lahiru for having offensive user boxes . In particular he had a userbox that said "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Misplaced Pages" Once I raised this offensive userbox, Lahiru's response was the following . He had claimed to be busy after this point and refused to do anything about the complaint till "December 4th". Elalan 22:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Noting that the image in the userbox is a copyright violation , I had applied for speedy removal of the template and the template was removed. User Lahiru silently removed references to this offensive userbox today I believe, after the template had been removed by the authorities. At the same time Sudharsansn and Sechzehn also intervened to get this offensive userbox removed and this is when the threatening posts directed at Sudharsansn and the Neutral Coverage of the Sri Lankan Crisis wikiproject members started appearing. In particular, Sudharsan had notified me of the threatening userbox template on Lahiru's and snowolfd4's page. These appear to be the version vandalized by the IP , . However in both cases Lahiru did do the right thing by reverting to the original version of template (that was not threatening). Elalan 22:22, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

1] Yes, I made a user box called "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Misplaced Pages". LTTE none other than one of the most barbaric terrorist group that exist in the world and banned by many governments of the countries in the world (E.g. USA, Canada, Britain etc.). So LTTE is certainly not another RACE in Sri Lanka. Therefore, very clearly, I do not become a racist by standing against a Terrorist Group. May be due to the lack of knowledge about LTTE, one of the fellow wikipedians of Elalan had addressed me a racist . In the civilised world, supporting for murderous activities is just the same as committing murders. It simply apllies for terrorism as well. Those whom the Hat fits to, can always wear it. Therefore, I do not see the userbox "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Misplaced Pages" as a personal attack on anyone.

2] Yes, I also said that the common sense is uncommon to Elalan and I here by accept I did so and apologize from him. I here by also say, nothing of the sort would not happen again from me.

3] Yes, I am extremely busy until the 4th of December, and this is NOT a cowardly act as it has been appeared to some users. I have already informed this user that I will continually check my watchlist, and this is where I noticed this discussion going on and returned here.

4] I am not involved in the copyright violation of the image used in the userbox. I found it from the history page of the LTTE article. I am also prepared to provide evidence on this on request by anyone.

5] There is also no need of asking for permission from anyone in order to delete anything from my own user page and this includes changing my userboxes too.

6] I oppose any kind of terrorism in the world including LTTE and therefore I am not a racist. You can furthur confirm this fact by simply going through my contributions list. But I doubt if there is any neutrality in the wikiproject Neutral Coverage of the Sri Lankan Crisis due to the comment made by the founder of the project Sudharsansn as he has commented badly regarding ethnic group sinhala. Please do a checkuser on me if you feel still suspect me on that threatening userbox template incident that appeared on my userpage created by some IP user. I don't mind at all. If there is anything you want to ask regarding this mattter, do feel free to ask me anytime. Happy Editing!!!  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  13:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

sportsvite explanation

Thanks for your comments. This was our first go at a Misplaced Pages page and I've enjoyed learnig a tremendous amount in the last few weeks. I'm going to improve the Sportsvite page by verifying and referencing all information, having multiple authors, using outside sources (Sportsvite has recently been reviewed in many major publications) and following standards for wikipedia entries.

TZO Recreation

Cholmes,

I will re-create the TZO node. There is no undelete or archive, is there?

FYI - I read the 'notable' page, particularly WP:PROD and WP:CORP. I believe the "subject of multiple non-trivial published works " is satisfied by many reviews of the software and service by industry-standard outlets such as PC Magazine, Tucows, etc. TZO was also the first dynamic DNS provider to have services embedded in hardware routers (see dynamic DNS entry, UMAX citation).

Should this actually be noted IN the TZO node, or just in the discussion is OK? I avoided that in-node blurb part to comply with my understanding of the Wiki guidelines.

I missed the delete warning on TZO. I have a 'watchlist'... is there no way to receive email notification when a major change is posted? (I can certainly monitor the page in an automated fashion, but I am assuming there's some hidden feature for it here).

Thanks for your help! Scottprive 18:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Cirkus article

Hi! I've just noticed you deleted the article I had begun about the band Cirkus. I must say I'm surprised and confused, because I don't understand the reason. Could you please explain it to me? I had sent the link to the article to one member of the band, he took a look at it, and he told me he was OK with what I had written... Many thanks for your explanations! Godescalcus.
