Speedy deletion declined: Current Issues in Education

Hello Moogwrench. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Current Issues in Education, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: academic journals not covered under A&. Thank you. Danger (talk) 03:15, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the info regarding speedy delete decline. I wasn't too sure because it said it was student-run and I didn't know if it was of sufficient caliber for retention. Again, thanks for the helpful notice here. Moogwrench (talk) 06:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Analytical Measurement Calibration & Safety (AMCS)

Hello Moogwrench. Thanks for patrolling new pages - it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know however, regarding Analytical Measurement Calibration & Safety (AMCS), that tagging articles for speedy deletion moments after creation as lacking context (CSD A1) or content (CSD A3), and articles being created through Article Wizard, is too fast. It's best to wait at least 10 - 15 minutes for more content to be added, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), and copyright violations (G12) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. Salvio 12:18, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Bob Beckwith

Hello! Your submission of Bob Beckwith at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 21:34, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: DYK? for Bob Beckwith

Replied at the hook page. Passing, but I'd still upgrade the references. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 17:04, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Check on plagiarism added, my bad. Why the code is broken, that I am not sure. If you find out, let me know... could ask at WT:DYK, I guess. I am not overly concerned with that, because DYK admins still need to move the DYK (I cannot), so might as well have them fixing the code. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 21:28, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into this. Subst'ed :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 01:38, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Bob Beckwith

On 11 September 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bob Beckwith, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Bob Beckwith, the firefighter accompanying President George W. Bush at Ground Zero (pictured), had been retired for 7 years and bluffed his way into the rescue site using old gear? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bob Beckwith.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jeff Szusterman

Per consensus at the mass AfD, I have relisted every entry individually. -- Blanchardb -- timed 18:27, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Suburban Commandos

The article was for a tag team stable, not a "club" and all of the references were listed. Instead of fixing it, you just deleted it. You are disrespectful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwrestling11 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

CSD Tag- Chunky Man

Just so you know, your speedy deletion tag of Chunky Man was changed from A7 to G10, since it is an attack page (it's entirely negative and only attacks its target). Be sure to tag attack pages as G10, as that makes them priorities for speedy deletion for admins and also blanks the page, so other editors can't see the negative content. --Slon02 (talk) 01:06, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, as soon as I put it on there I realized that G10 would be better and tried to change it, but another editor scooped me and got it on there first. Thanks! Moogwrench (talk) 01:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: MerchantMaster.Biz

Thank You

for responding so quickly. I guess that would be a problem.

I thank you for your speedy deletion....LOL and speedy response! LOL I will determinately have to fix this....

Thanks again!--Mrbuckley916 (talk) 01:36, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Sure, no problem. If you come across independent sources that are reliable (like respectable computer magazines or trade journals or the like) that show significant coverage of your site, that would go a long way towards having it included in Misplaced Pages.

You are the man
