Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeated. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Xombie 21:17, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Could you restore the page to my user space while I retrieve the references which were used. They are needed for the Parkinson's disease page. Thanks, Ansell 23:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
If it isn't too much of a hassle, considering the sockpuppeting problems with the page, it may be best to delete all but the current version of the sandbox page. I removed the text which was causing the problems. Ansell 04:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Red links
Hi, following a link from Wiktionary, I found the Wikipedia Dis page with redlinks near the top. Could you please restore Dis (Divine Comedy) (which it appears you deleted, without any discussion?) and/or correct the links to it?

You've removed the tag and posted a notice on the talk page, but you don't seem to have actually closed the AfD.
I was going to close this as delete, given the handwaving nature of the arguments to notability (Google hits are not an assertion of notability, writing ten books and 500 papers is not an assertion of notability, only writing ten successful books and 500 influential papers is, and no-one's produced any sources to show that, only claimed that someone else should - why the hell we volunteers should perform such a free service for self-promoters is beyond me - but I digress and rant), but I guess I'm going to have to defer to you as having got there first - sort of. --Sam Blanning(talk) 10:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you
Just wanted to say thank you for the welcome. It is much appreciated.
I was wondering if you can help- I made an edit on Superhero under subheading film and everything after that won't come up on the page now - can you tell me how to fix it or help me out and fix it?
I already merged the information in anticipation of the merge consensus. Should I remove the notices and redirect, or should they stay up for a bit? OzLawyer 19:53, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, hello, KH. I was wondering if you still have time for admin coaching. If you don't, I'm thinking of changing my coach form Shanel to... Johann Wolfgang. Do let me know. Cheers, Tdxiang...07:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

My pleasure. It's happened to me a couple of times where my AfDs were reviewed without me knowing about it until near the end, and I got very annoyed about it. I'm sure there are AfDs of mine that have been DRVed without me even knowing about it. --Deathphoenixʕ 11:42, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
deleted article
Hello,
I am writing in regards of an article about *.gay that was deleted in May.
The program did exist. It aired in the channel 33 "IDEAS" of CableVision. It was the first gay/lesbian tv show ever in Ibero-America.
I saved articles in several languages from that time and I can email them to you in case you need them to see the validity of the note. You can also contact CableVision www.cablevision.com.ar regarding the show. The channel does not exist since several years now, but they might have some information.
I even got sued by someone that had "patented" the idea of a generic gay tv show, however, since Argentinean law does not allow "ideas" to be patented, the claim was dismissed.
If you need the articles, please email me at martin_aiello@hotmail.com
PS: I took the company car (pictured left) out for a spin, and well... it's not quite how I pictured it. --Chris S. 23:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello
I had requested for content review of the article Department of Chemical Engineering & Technology and you made it availabe on my user page at User:Gaurav.ssc/Userfy for editing. I've carried out the appropriate changes so as to make the article more sensible. Now please guide me how to proceed to move the article to the articlespace; I mean how should it go through a deletion review. Gaurav 05:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Parvinder Singh
I request you that please restore the Parvinder Singh entry on Wikipedia. If you search the Parvinder Singh on google or yahoo. Parvinder Singh Lecturer entry is on top.
When you closed this AfD, you didn't delete the other article nominated, or comment on its deletion. The articles had identical content (the author did not understand the purpose for a redirect.) Regards, Alphachimptalk 15:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
haha, no worries. Thanks for being responsive. Alphachimptalk 15:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support!
Greetings, Mailer diablo. Just a quick note to thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with a final tally of (67/0/0)! Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have suggestions or requests - either of an admin nature or otherwise! :)
Would you consider taking a second look at your close of this? With nine delete votes to seven keep votes it may seem like a "no consensus," but I think if you look at the strength of the arguments it's a pretty clear delete based on wikipedia policy. Reasons given for deleting include "The only source of information is the website itself," "no assertion of notability," "doesn't meet WP:WEB," and " WP:V says 'Articles should rely on credible, third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. ... If an article topic has no reputable, reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on that topic.'" Reasons given for keeping include "It's a Googable webcomic," "the comic clearly exists and has some history," "it doesn't appear in books and magazines specialized in webcomics," and "I masturbated into a sock last night." I know you do a really good job closing a lot of AfD discussions, but I think this one may have slipped past you. -- Dragonfiend 14:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Hello Mailer diablo/Archive Q, and thank you for your support at my Request for Adminship, which succeeded with an overwhelming final count of (105/2/0). I was very pleased with the outpouring of kind words from the community that has now entrusted me with these tools, from the classroom, the lesson in human psychology and the international resource known as Wikipedia. The Free Encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave me plenty of requests, monitor my actions (through the admin desk on my userpage) and, if you find yourself in the mood, listen to some of what I do in real life. In any case, keep up the great work and have a fabulous day. Grandmasterka 06:08, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Feminism
Why was this article deleted? It couldn't have been deleted for following the the neologism or protologism criteria because you get 145,000 results when you search in google. I can not even find the deletion discussion page. I hope you can tell me the reason because I am sure many users will find such an article useful.
I don't quiet remember.........but searching both Anti-Feminism and anti-feminism gives no result and when you look at its deletion log , it says 09:53, 2 April 2005 Mailer diablo (Talk | contribs) deleted "Anti-feminism" (Closing VFD Debate - The result of the debate was Delete)
Ok. But the term itself is not non-notable so can a new more more encyclopaedic article for this be written now? Unitedroad 09:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I hope you're still there.......I would be garateful if you tell me if a new , more encyuclopaedic article can be written in its place. Unitedroad 09:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm interested in joining the EnRich Wikiproject, and I'm wondering how exactly it works. Do we download the GFDL pictures from the users, and then reupload them to commons? Is it taht simple? Copysan 08:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
To both User:Mailer diablo and User:Sceptre - You were the closing admins on AfD List of JPN PM by long and AfD List of UK PM by long, respectively. I admit I am new to WP, and my intent is not to use the justification of one admin to change the decision of another. I would guess that that either or both of these will end up in WP:DRV, where unfortunately, that argument may come up. Instead, my question is would these be good candidates for WP:AFDP? I read that it is not policy, but thought that these type of discussion will probably come up again and it would be handy to have it listed. -- MrDolomite | Talk 13:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Dear Mailer Diablo, I'm sorry it took me so long to get to your page... but I really wanted to tell you, it's great to remove you from the list at my page instead of having to add you to it! :) It's so good to see you back and well - just make sure not to leave again, k?

Hey, good eye on catching that early closure. As an impartial admin, can you fix any inappropriate or incorrect formatting like that which you see? I'd rather not (nor do I want Netscott to) since either of us trying to fix it will just start ANOTHER fight. Would you please mind? Just for the sake of civility, to make this like other AfDs for sanity and fairness? If you did it as having nothing to do with it before this (please, please, please just post a concise edit note so someone doesn't jump on you?), I think it will go over fine. I'm not trying to drag you into a mess or anything. By the way--what is different about the formatting compared to how it's "typically done"? I didn't understand the bit about wanting more editors to see it... thanks! rootology 07:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
AfD Logs
When I got to AfD earlier, I had noticed that tonights log was not listed. I also noticed that upon adding it, there were two older logs. I thought I had seen something about articles were only supposed to be on AfD for five days, so I guess that was my mistake! All good things. SynergeticMaggot 08:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

Hi, do you think you could expand a little on the decision to close this AfD as delete? There seem to be a quite a few people who urged keep, so a little more explanation would be appreciated. Cheers, Ziggurat 23:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Request for undeletion
I love Wikipedia and use it as my first resource on any topic. Thank you for your hard work.
However, I am frustrated about my experience with adding a page about my son, Jason Hunt. I have tried twice, and both times the page was removed as a "vanity" article. I found the dispute resolution process confusing so I sent a message to the main address, and Kat Walsh suggested that I write to you.
On the Wikipedia "vanity" page it says "An article should not be dismissed as 'vanity' simply because the subject is not famous." Jason is not famous, but I believe he deserves to be included as he has single-handedly developed the Internet's largest (by far) children's art gallery (the Global Children's Art Gallery at http://www.naturalchild.org/gallery). He created the gallery in 1997 at age 16 to encourage child artists, and has put thousands of hours of unpaid work into this project. This is important work. He has received a great many emails from children who are inspired by this collection and from adults who recognize the importance of art in life. Isn't this wonderful accomplishment worth including?
