Userify deleted Adzuna article

Hi Fastily, can you userify the adzuna article? I am the author. I will try to improve the article and include additional references. I have pasted the previous conversation below as it had been archieved. Fernando mk (talk) 15:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

________________________________________________________________________________

You have deleted Adzuna under criteria G11 speedy deletion, I believe incorrectly.

I read this article a few days ago and it is seems notable (relevant citations), and the content reads like any other relevant internet website. I believe it is correct procedure to tidy up such an article rather than delete as Fernando mk says here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Adzuna

I would propose reinstatement and editing as necessary.

Moneybagsuk (talk) 12:34, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

   I won't restore it, but I'll offer to userify it for you. -FASTILY (TALK) 19:32, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

I am curious to know what I would need to change in the article so that it is not deleted in the future. Even the talk page with my arguments against the speedy deletion was speedily deleted after a few hours I posted it! It doesn't seem like a very useful or fair reply.

File:Hannah Montana San Orente.jpg

That image is in violation of the Fair Use privilege as it was being used as an alternate image on the Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus page and was also causing an edit war as the person kept reverting it back to add that picture even though they were told they couldn't use it. Please have it deleted thank you JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 07:34, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I left the user a warning for edit warring. If the disruption continues, we'll remedy the situation with blocks, not out of process deletions. -FASTILY 07:45, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay. JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 07:47, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Also can you fix it so the }} aren't floating at the top? I've been trying to fix that but as you can see I haven't had any luck. JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 07:52, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

-FASTILY 07:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 08:01, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

She didn't take your edit-war warning and is continuing on with what she wants to do. JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 12:39, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Noted. I'm watching the page. If they make another revert, I'll block them from editing. -FASTILY 03:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Continuous Spamming..

This article Shoumita Roy is an autobiographical spam. The article has been challenged and deleted multiple times. She also includes her name in different lists like, notable Bengalis, Bengali actresses. I deleted her name from the lists. But, she has undone the change. I also added {{db-spam}} in the main article. But she has also undone that.
I have read Misplaced Pages instruction wp:editwar, that's why I have not reverted her changes. But, she is continuously spamming --Tito Dutta (Talk) 09:01, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

The above mentioned article has been deleted, and Shoumita Ray has been blocked indefinitely. -FASTILY 03:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Bot comments

Hi there. I made a comment at Misplaced Pages:Bots/Requests for approval/Fbot 2. I'm going to apologize in advance for it. I hope it ends up being a speedbump rather than a full stop, because I do believe what you're trying to do is worth doing, albeit with some modification. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:50, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Meh, it's certainly doable, and definitely reasonable, but it's going to take time to write the code for that kind of functionality... :| -FASTILY 03:50, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Zacharie Boucher

Is is possible for you to restore the Zacharie Boucher page. I actually wanted to delete this page in my Sandbox, which turned into a re-direct after I moved the article to the main-space. Thanks. — JS 03:50, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

 Done -FASTILY 03:52, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Skowling

Greetings. You just deleted the term Skowling as a hoax. I have just created a sandbox page for it, as I believe should have been done initially. Is that the reason for the "hoax" deletion? Thank you for your time. Vitriol32 (talk) 04:37, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 1 week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected., User(s) blocked. Hope that helps. -FASTILY 06:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

deletion

HI there,

My article was deleted because it sounded like promotion or ambiguous advertising. I will re submit after changing the language as it is genuine and I am not in anyway associated with the subject or his company.....however would appreciate if you could remove whatever it takes because when one does a google search for Vaibhav Kala it shows up as deleted form wiki....looks in poor form...Many Thanks

File:SJA Revenge of the Slitheen.jpg

The discussion was 5-2 to keep (5-3 if you count the nominator...who is no longer on WP). I find it quite strange that you decided to go with a summary of "The result of the discussion was delete' when it certainly wasn't. Buffs (talk) 06:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

The same goes for File:James Parks.jpg. Buffs (talk) 06:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

I never count !votes when closing deletion debates. Rather, I weigh the effectiveness of the arguments presented by both sides against one another. I found that the reasons given to delete the files were more compelling than the reasons given to keep them. I have reviewed both discussions once again, and I stand by my closures. -FASTILY 07:11, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Then you should annotate that in your rationale... Buffs (talk) 06:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Winnipeg_Jets_2011_cropped.jpg?

I just saw your edit mentioning File:Winnipeg_Jets_2011_cropped.jpg couldn't be deleted. Considering it isn't being used on any pages, and there's a better version of the logo being used instead, it would naturally make sense to delete this one, wouldn't it? If you could let me know the situation, thanks. --Vuzor (talk) 07:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

F1 applies to bit-for-bit identical files. File:Winnipeg_Jets_2011_cropped.jpg and File:Winnipegjetslogo.svg different file formats. One is a jpg file, the other is an svg file; although they depict the same image, they are not identical. F1 technicalities are utterly asinine, but alas, rules are rules :| Sorry, FASTILY 07:58, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

It could have been deleted as an orphaned fairuse, but it's now back in the article. Connormah (talk) 06:08, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Shigihara

Please could you restore the first revision of Talk:Shigihara which consisted of a correctly placed {{old rfd}} template, noting the outcome of the RfD discussion of the Shigihara redirect.

For reasons I don't understand, user:CHAPTCA, who didn't take part in the discussion and has no edits to the redirect page, replaced this with a db-empty tag diff between deleted revisions. Thryduulf (talk) 11:08, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Tom McGrath long distance runner article

Hi Fastily

I note the article written on my Uncle Tom McGrath long distance runner has been deleted

This article refers to Tom McGrath who appeared in the Guinness book of world records in 1978 in relation to his Cross American run. He also carried the Olympic torch threw New York for the Atlanta Olympics and he is a very famous New York Irish born runner.

I have quoted 3 references in this article, I would be grateful if you could elaborate on what form of references I would need to state in order for this article to be reinstated Some of his running achievements are not listed online, should I scan over copies of the guiness book of records page and old newspaper articles?

I note one of your colleagues questioned the New York Times article, which I referred to and its relevance, this article referred to the huge mileage that Tom McGrath still undertakes in his runs, which I noted in my submission.

I would appreciate if you could please give me examples of what form of references I would need to include in order for the article to be published e.g. a newspaper article for every sporting achievement or a newspaper article for 3 or 4 of the sporting achievements.

Can you please also note that I have referenced the Guinness book of world records 1978, I will include the page and edition of this very well know book in the next article should you approve same.

Tom McGrath is a factual extremely well respected athlete from New York City who has raised serious amounts for charity, if you need any signed documents from local Chiefs of Police or indeed Senior New York politicians to authenticate this article will be happy to organise these.

I appreciate your help with this matter so please let me know what I need to do in order for it to be reinstated.

Many thanks for your time. Stephen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donnybrook2011 (talk • contribs) 14:24, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

I recommend you bring this up with Jimfbleak, the admin who deleted the page. Since I did not delete the article, there's not much I can do to help you at the moment. FASTILY 19:10, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

meaningless deletion -that s a kind of vandalism

Hi, Fastily. I wonder if you'd consider reapplying semiprotection. When it expired, the problematic edits began again. They're not quite vandalism, imo, but they sure are pesky. Rivertorch (talk) 11:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
