Speedy deletion converted to PROD: [[:InstantDB]]
Hello TenPoundHammer. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on :InstantDB to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. GedUK 21:58, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

I declined the speedy. You marked an incomplete article started only recently for speedy deletion as a test page. It actually is a valid stub. It says what the subject is, and gives references.

Speedy deletion declined: [[:1 E-7 m²]]
Hello TenPoundHammer, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of :1 E-7 m², a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. You may wish to review the WP:CSD{{!}}Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. -- Lear's Fool 03:46, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
:I've struck the above template, which I added accidentally; you're obviously sufficiently experienced not to need the newbie message! I've declined the A1 because as far as I can tell, the subject is very clear. I'm still interested to see what your thinking was; I can certainly see some problems with this class of article. -- Lear's Fool 03:49, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
::I think this is a relic of the "old" Wikipedia, created during a time when there were so many gaps in information that pretty much any new article was acceptable. I think that whole series of articles would be better merged into a single list at Orders of magnitude (area). It would also solve the problem of the somewhat confusing article title, which mixes an ASCII type "E-7" with a modern superscript 2, something which was confusing to users even eight years ago as seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:1_E%2B24_m%C2%B2&diff=16032311&oldid=410205 here]. —Soap— 02:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
"why doesn't costa rica have a stub template"
[[1942 Sun Bowl]]
I happen to agree with you on this, but, stupidly, an infobox with any substantive information in it is considered enough. I got slammed by the radical inclusionist crowd on this point at my second RFA so it has kind of stuck with me ever since. I can't imagine why someone would create an article without bothering to add a single sentence of actual text. It was previously a redirect, I think I'll revert it back until such time as someone can be bothered to string five words together to explain what this is.

Hi there. I was considering doing a non-admin closure, but while consensus appears fairly clear I feel that it's probably one established contributor short of NAC territory. I was wondering if you would be happy enough with the proposed solution; that while the character is not notable, the article now serves as an overview of the franchise, which is worthy of an article.

The Price Is Right runtimes and commercials
Hi. I see that you revised the runtime in the show's Infobox to exclude commercial time. The show has shrunk its runtime and expanded the commercial time over the years. A current episode is only about 38 minutes of content, as verifiable by watching the episodes at cbs.com. Do you think the Infobox entry should be changed to "38-48," or should we try to find out if it's possible to chart how the runtimes have decreased over the years? If the latter, I'm not sure where to start. Best, JTRH (talk) 05:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks for the response. What I'm specifically concerned about at the moment is a section of long, unsourced, opinionated OR (and long since tagged as such) about how the 1980's version did in the ratings against the various competing programs on CBS, and the usual "episode status" comments like "the show is believed to have been wiped" (believed by whom?).

Wheel of Fortune gameplay
It got split off from the main article at some point, because the parent was becoming large enough to be unwieldy. Most of it, I think, can be sourced from the parent article, though whoever did the splitting didn't move the cites along with it. I'd leave it for now, or tag it for improvement. Maybe someone will prune the parent down to the point that the gameplay information can be folded back into it. JTRH (talk) 19:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Dick Levy and sources
Hello, I want to explain something about how I frequently participate in AfD debates. Often, I have time to edit when I am away from a personal computer. Now, for example, I am in a motel in Mount Shasta, about 200 miles away from my home in the Napa Valley. I am editing on a Droid X smart phone. It is versatile but limited. I can do Google searches and read sources but I can't cut and paste URLs and format them as references with this device. I feel that I have the right to partipate in AfD debates when I have spare time and am away from my PC. If you take a look at my editing history, you will see that I create lots of new content, and work hard to add sources and expand and improve various articles up at AfD. I hope this helps you understand my good faith editing style a bit better. I will add a few sources to Dick Levy when I get home. Wishing you well. Cullen328 (talk)

Deletion review: The 50 Most Loathsome Americans
In regards to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The 50 Most Loathsome Americans, while I was sleeping, within 3.5 hrs of the article being listed for deletion it was gone, which gave me NO time to reply.
So, as per WP:DRV, this is Step 1 of Instructions:
"discuss the matter with the deleting administrator and try to resolve it with him or her first."
The request for deletion and the five votes cited:
- not notable
Always an easy charge to make but work to defend against, I will cite the following as beginnings of references based on a simple Google search:
[http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/01/20/for-fans-of-gratuitous-nastiness/]
[http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowldc/the-most-loathsome-paranoid-writer-in-america_b29377]
[http://eater.com/archives/2011/01/19/paula-deen-on-her-birthday-is-both-loved-and-reviled.php]
This is perhaps the most significant issue, but also one that should not have resulted in a speedy deletion.
The page is not an attack because it merely restates the fact that the named individuals were listed in the "Loathsome" articles produced by The Beast. That an individual appeared in six different annual lists is a simple FACT. That The Beast used the word "Loathsome" in the title of the page is a simple fact. That a fact may be unflattering should not be criteria for removal.
- "implicitly violates BLP"
A late edit (which I cannot quote directly because it was deleted!) mentioned that The Beast listed their reasons for inclusion of each individual. That an individual was listed by The Beast is again a simple fact and not slanderous.

Hello TPH. I don't really know you well, but during my years at Wikipedia, I've run into you a lot, and know you are a very seasoned wikipedian around here. I nominated a local organization for deletion not too long after it's creation, not our of some personal vandetta, but because it is really not notable. It only gets 18 google hits and 71 news hits (75% of both the ghits and news hits come a local periodical in Berkely) and the article says that the organization's main contibution has been saving part of creek alongside a mall parking lot. The article is well formatted, and I have nothing against the authors, but I am baffled as to how this has gotten so far out of control. I would just like you to take a look at it and let me know if organizations of this size acutally are notable and if perhaps I'm mistaken.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 13:49, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of 20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection: The Best of Maureen McGovern for deletion
Hi, TPH. I had discovered that you put the article that I provided "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Maureen McGovern" in the category of deletion nomination. I had tried to find other sources besides Allmusic, but all I could find were articles on this particular CD from the websites of Amazon, CDUniverse, Musicstack, and other websites of retailers. I honestly own a copy of this particular album, so the primary source of the article was the album itself. I'm not sure if this helps but I wanted to bring that to your attention nevertheless. I've tried to find reviews by other sources for AllMusic, but I haven't found any as of yet. It will be greatly appreciated if you could give me some time to find any reviews and sources.

Shalom Show
Greetings Ten Pound Hammer,
RE: The Shalom Show on TV. May I ask you to assisit me with this article that I submitted? I saw that you made a change and I apologize that I'm not adept. TtonyB was kindly helping correct things, but I don't know how to reach anyone and would like the article to have it's problems resolved. There are references available and it is also quite easy to verify and confirm that the asrtile is true and accurate. This television show has been broadcast since 1979 and is still on the air.
I do not know how to provide References.
I apologize also that I probably am not communicating with you the correct way. I wish this was as user-friendly as email.
About References: I know many of the credible and famous people who have appeared on the show could serve as references, if they are acceptable pursuant to Wikipedia guidelines. Some names appear in the article and their names are hyperlinked to their organizations; These include recent guests on The Shalom Show include Senior Pastor Bob Coy of the Calvary Chapel, Dr. Abraham S. Fischler, Congressman Allen West, and Stan Chesley.

He would be glad to. How do I submit him to Wikipedia as a secondary reference source?

[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Erna Lazarus]]
Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg
The article Erna Lazarus has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
:This article has had no sources inserted since it was tagged in 2007. That's long enough. It should be rescued or deleted. If rescued, the filmography should be turned into a "Selected filmography" and cut down to six notable films, per guidelines
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. David in DC (talk) 17:03, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
[[Erna Lazarus]]
I've nominated this article for deletion, after the PROD notice was lifted. The article has been tagged for no having no sources on the article's page since 2007. WP:DEADLINE does not extend into infinity. The only source the editor who deleted the prior prod notice could find was evidently not sufficient to establish notability. assuming good faith, if it we're, the editor would have put it into the article, instead of onto the talk page. I agree. It's not enough to pass WP:GNG, let alone WP:BIO. I can find no better. If (A) the tag has been there since 2007 and (B) the editor who opposes Prod can find no source that establishes notability, and (C) I can find none either, WP:DUCK.

Wizard of Odds
In 2009 "Wizard of odds" (no capitalization of "odds") redirected to Michael Shackleford, whose nickname is the "wizard of odds".

Cutlery Project
Hello,
I feel your template is misplaced. By the Criteria on miscellany for deletion it states if it's a Project to either make it a task force or tag it with an inactive template. It still falls short on that criteria as we have had activity on the project's talk page recently and just yesterday I cleaned up the "to-do" list in the main page[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cutlery/to_do&action=history] and we've had activity in their fairly recently before that in 01/11 and 02/11. It may not be the most active project on Wiki, but it does help keep the related articles in a semblance of order. That said, I would not object to redesignating it as a task force under another project. Initially I considered it as part of the Military project's weapon task force, but those folks would only be interested in military knives, same as martial arts, tools, art, outdoors, cooking, or guns. This is a field that can span many different projects yet still remains somewhat specialized. Thanks for reading my thoughts on this.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 21:26, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

|width=20%|align=right}}Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, :Laura Bryna. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - :Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Bryna - recently deleted at AFD. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at :Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Bryna - recently deleted at AFD - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion (
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Off2riorob (talk) 20:14, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Removing Speedy at [[Laura Bryna]]
Image:Information.svg Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from :Laura Bryna, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: File:Speedy delete contest button.png which appears inside of the speedy deletion notice, which will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:17, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
Nomination of [[Laura Bryna]] for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Bryna until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Off2riorob (talk) 20:17, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
:I'm going to be blunt about some of the advice I will give you, about the recent chain of events, so I apologize in advance if I said anything out of line.
:The recent post you made on the administrators' noticeboard attacked the nominator, which in all due respect, isn't a very attractive way to try and get an admin's attention to the deletion discussion. Please be careful when doing this. And also, if the article was listed at deletion review instead of being created so quickly after it had been deleted, perhaps it might have saved the trouble of all this mess and confusion. This would have been a much better way to go about it. Lastly, as AfD policy says, please don't remove CSD tags from articles you have created yourself.

Question about deletions
Greetings, You seem to be one of the main folks in the stuff for deletion category of edits so I thought you would probably have the answer to a question I have had for a while but never bothered to ask.
I have noticed that there are piles of subpages under the User namesspace for users who are banned. What is the policy on deleting these types of pages? My opinion is if the user is banned and has been for sometime then they do not need the following types of subpages. I have included some examples:
- Scripts such as User:Perseus, Son of Zeus/huggle.css
- User sandboxes especially those that are empty such as User:Perseus8235/Sandbox2
- Personalization pages such as User:Perseus, Son of Zeus/Editnotice. Especially when said pages do not appear to render anything on the users page.
- test pages and pages the user apparently created to build articles such as User:Perseus8235/Taipei Metro EMU C321 --Kumioko (talk) 17:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks, is there someplace that mentions pages like those or is that just from experience? Also, would that be a Speedy deletion due to beingn a banned user or should I just submit that to the regular Misc for deletion? Those are just examples, there are a lot more. One thing to note though. User:Perseus, Son of Zeus/huggle.css is a personal settings page so it will not allow me to submit that one. I already tried. Thanks again for the help. --Kumioko (talk) 17:24, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Please Explain...
...[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Party_Heard_Around_the_World&action=historysubmit&diff=424924264&oldid=424924155 this edit]. I have since reverted to the revision on January 28 of this year which contained production information for the album, as well. There is no reason to remove it from an article about the album that the production information refers to. Also, the TPIR appearance was in promotion of the album and thus it belongs there. Someone actually added it to the Lonestar article the day it aired, and I've now added the reference that was added there (which I didn't realize existed). You seem to be a bit Delete-happy; take time to look for something before just deleting it, and add a reference if you can find one. Don't just randomly delete information without doing any research on your own; after researching, then a case could be made for deleting. CycloneGU (talk) 19:16, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
:I was trying to remove the erroneous personnel information added by an IP vandal, and the Canadian Country Albums chart info since that chart is on WP:BADCHARTS. If you'd checked the information in the personnel section vs. the band's article, you'd see that the personnel info was bogus — Keith Horne was never in Lonestar, and I don't even know who Michael Hill is. I didn't realize I'd accidentally removed the info about TPIR as well. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 19:20, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

::::::Because I was going to have it trimmed down within five minutes, I was doing my own scan through the site. I work that way. =P
::::::As it is now it matches up, the rest of the names are either composers (covered in the track listing) or things like "art", "design", "research" (research?), "photography"...all covered better in other areas if at all. I don't know if I'd call a background vocalist a "musician", however. At the same time, a separate category for one person would be silly. Either way, it matches up now and I'm happy with it.

They Don't Understand
about the article you want to delete, I copy paste my answers
If you knew how to read, you would have red in the main article AND in the talk page, that 1: fastest-selling object means record sales of this object in one week and 2: that everybody in the web among authors and the audience uses this expression "fastest-selling album" for the highest sales in one week. The two others article about UK and USA in wikipedia use it too, why don't you go delete them too ? The truth is that you give pretexts to delete my article cause you disagree with some content, especially the truth it brings. I think you can't bear the fact you just discovered an other music than european or american music existed. You should better thank me to now having a little more culture than ask for deletion. Don't give me false pretexts ok ? Don't be hypocrit.
And moreover all the "best-selling albums" pages are original researchs ! Why don't you go delete them ? Hey ? Simple question. I think they don't bother cause they are close to your vision of music : european and american. But, accidently, there's a strong japanese music too. We can't bear this idea. So go deleting the new article.
Look at yourself in the mirror and don't bring wikipedia policy in this debate : you only want to delete the article cause it brought you a new perspective about world music and you can't bear it.
Last thing : yes I don't know all the things about the wiki technology, but I'm learning, and then though I'm not a good wikiman like you, I worked hard to make this article as best as I could and keep make it better every day since its creation. The community must participate, not bring the articles to deletion. It's a coward thing, or it's nothing. Since the beginning I'm the only one who made things, except the guy who told me there were dead links. but he asked the article to deletion because of that ??? Come on, every article on wikipedia should be deleted if dead links were a lethal thing. And moreover, I fixed them. And added official sources. This last point show how hypocrit oyu are. The source hsow the sales in one week, so we can make a ranking of fastest-selling albums. It's the right expression. Do you have any culture ? Are you something more than wiki super-geeks ? One last thing, I'm going to bed now.Sancho21 (talk) 21:49, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Dinah
I don't know what you mean by a source "consisting only of a track listing." The release date is given on the cited source, which is why it was cited.
In any case, I can't imagine what you'd consider a reliable source for an album, especially since the company issuing it is defunct, so their own site is unavailable. Frankly, if I had control of Wikipedia, I'd scrap this whole "reliable source" nonsense and go back to the way it was a few years ago. In fact that's why I've almost given up editing on Wikipedia. There are very few sources for information that qualify as "reliable sources" according to the strict definition. -- BRG (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
You have said, "And 'a few years ago', even then, it was NEVER acceptable for an article to be sourced to a website with literally nothing but a track list.)" A few years ago, there was no such thing as a requirement that anything be sourced, let alone that the source fall within some reliability guidelines. I am also puzzled, anyway, by your comment that the source is "nothing but a track list." The source cited gives, e. g. a release date, which is why it was cited. In any case, you have not come anyway near answering my question as to what you would consider adequate sourcing. I cannot imagine very many albums that have sources for the information that would exceed what the source I dave has -- please give me some guidance here as to what YOU would consider an adequate source! -- BRG (talk) 17:57, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Dinah Shore is hardly a "no-hit wonder." So your comment is irrelevant. I still want to know — and you continue to resist telling me, after I've asked at least THREE times — what is your minimum requirement for "adequate sourcing"? For it is clear that Dinah Shore was a major artist of the recording industry, and to me this means that the "notability" question is satisfied because of that fact. A collection of the most important hits by a major artist is per se notable. -- BRG (talk) 13:12, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Bob Stewart (television producer)
Hi, TPH. Would you mind putting Bob Stewart (television producer) on your watchlist, if it isn't there already? I just cleaned up a big chunk of it, pruned a list of his shows, and moved the unreferenced unsold pilots to their own section with a fact-tag.

Well, thank you for the apology. That certainly negates most of what's been said in the last couple of hours.
I shouldn't have called you an idiot, but Bobby, you seriously do have an awful reputation in the game show community, and you're the only one who can fix that. That said, I really would like to know how to get the episode count sourced, and I do understand that by Wikipedia's policies, the fact that no one but me has ever bothered to count them is a problem.

To each their own. Information from those websites is seldom more informative than what Wikipedia provides, especially TV.com, as their guide for Gumball is in shambles.

The Lost Trailers
I am new to Wikipedia. Yes, I am the publicist for Stokes Nielson of the Lost Trailers, as I disclosed early on. Our only agenda, however, is to make the page accurate. Wikipedia refers to the band in past tense. The Lost Trailers existed before the group of players who had commercial success, and it continues to exist today as an ongoing music project (sort of like "Broken Social Scene") under the direction of Stokes Nielson, who owns the brand. We have used information from published reports and press releases and from Mr. Nielson's own archives as reference. laughingpenguin Laughingpenguin (talk) 07:01, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Wheel of Fortune
You are no doubt right about the special terminology such as Mystery, Free Play, and so on. I have watched the show only casually, when trapped in a motel with no Internet and nothing to read, for example. This makes me only dimly familiar with the details, and for that reason I don't think I could explain the game clearly. It would be difficult for anyone to explain this game to a Martian or, more plausibly, to someone who had never watched anything on television. If I were starting from scratch, I'd probably start by describing an actual game, play by play, including mention of the setting, audience, and "umpires". If that got too wordy (as it probably would), I'd compress the description to what I considered to be the essence of the play-by-play. I don't know if that approach would work, but I'd give it a try to find out. Hope this helps. It's just an idea. Finetooth (talk) 16:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Lump sum redux
(In response to [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lump_sum&curid=32402999&diff=439815866&oldid=439812079 this])
Tell me, what does the following tell you about what a lump sum is:
{{quote|The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development distinguishes between "price analysis" and "cost analysis" by whether the decision maker compares lump sum amounts, or subjects contract prices to an itemized cost breakdown.
In 1911, American union leaders including Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor expressed opposition to lump sums being awarded their members pursuant to a new workers compensation law, saying that when they received lump sums rather than periodic payments the risk of them squandering the money was greater.
The Financial Times reported in July 2011 that research by Prudential had found that 79% of polled pensioners collecting a company or private pension that year took a lump sum at their retirement, as compared to 76% in 2008.[8] Prudential was of the view that for many retirees, a lump sum at the time of retirement was the most tax-efficient option.[8] However, Prudential's head of business development, Vince Smith Hughes, said "some pensioners are beginning to regret the way they used the tax-free cash. The days of buying a shiny new car or going on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday may be gone.}}
It doesn't tell me anything -- and I've got a postgrad qualification in Finance. So I really don't see that the addition of such material "fixes" the article. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 18:44, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

It came to my attention that on july 31th you seem to have amused yourself by redirecting a number of articles/entries titled either [Keep on Walkin'] or [Keep on Walking] to new locations, now filed under respectively [Keep On Walkin'] or [Keep On Walking], leaving a supposedly explanatory note that " On is an adverb in this context ", which is ofcourse completely irrelevant as an argument or motivation for your actions.The only thing relevant,which could possibly justify a such uninvited " favour " would be if the songs/albums in question are actually called [Keep On Walking'] / [Keep On Walking] with a capital O instead of with a minor o.Judging from promotional material this seems questionable in case of 2 or more of the examples.I wonder whereto you´d redirect an article on a fictive song/album titled [ i Iz b4 E x-abt off da See ] or [ you Has 2 bekiddin' ] Flight714 (talk) 00:50, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
"On" is a phrasal verb in this context ("Keep On"). MOS:CAPS says that phrasal verbs are capitalized. In this case, "Keep On" is the grammatically correct capitalization. The same would go for, say, "Turn On the Radio" or "Turn Up the Music" or "Keep On Loving You". Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:36, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
You seem to miss the very point that music; songs / albums and their titles just aswell as litterature etc are all bodies of artistic character and the creators of such are entitled to name their pieces of work anything they like, regardless of grammatical rules or internal Wikipedia regulations on how to titulate or list this or that.Such considerations are for librarians for internal use.Wikipedia is public domaine,just like a public library, and anyone should be able to find anything under it´s rightfull original name or title.If an artist has deliberately chose to name a song [ Keep on Walkin' ] with a lower case o, then all the wikipedia librarian can do is to loyally file it correct under that title, and not start a futile and highly irrelevant debate about nothing.The title is what the artist once decided and not subject for anyone to change to tally or be in accordance with personal ideas of correctness.Flight714 (talk) 02:30, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello
This is twice now that you have come and "attacked" me (for a lack of better term) on my talk page. Attacking me was really uncalled for. It's not like I go and vandalize the page like some of the previous people have done on there. I try and do the best I can and cussing at me is not the way to go about things. I'm giving you a fair warning now. Not to be mean but the next time you come and cuss at me over a simple mistake I will be reporting you to an admin for it. You do not do that on here and you must always assume good faith before and talk NICELY to people instead of going and cussing at them and what not. And just cause I do a lot of work on the page doesn't mean I did it. It's possible that another contributor did it by accident and it got missed in the editing, but going to me and cussing at me isn't right. I'm only being fair and I'm asking you nicely now to please stop coming onto my talk page and doing that. Thank you. JamesAlan1986 (talk-contribs) 19:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that you nominated NewsChannel for deletion a week or so ago, and it was deleted via consensus at AfD (very correctly, in my opinion). Could you take a look at Eyewitness News and see if you think that it suffers from the same problems? To me, it looks like the creator of the page is trying to argue that there is some sort of "Eyewitness News" brand, when, as far as I can tell, it's just a term that was used by a bunch of news stations. I've previously rendered some negative opinions about this topic in other forums, though, so I don't feel comfortable nominating it for deletion.

Research into the user pages of Wikipedians: Invitation to participate
Greetings,
My name is John-Paul and I am a student with the University of Alberta specializing in Communications and Technology.
I would like to include your Wikipedia user page in a study I am doing about how people present themselves online. I am interested in whether people see themselves in different ways, online and offline. One of the things I am looking at is how contributors to Wikipedia present themselves to each other through their user pages. Would you consider letting me include your user page in my study?
With your consent, I will read and analyze your user page, and ask you five short questions about it that will take about ten to fifteen minutes to answer. I am looking at about twenty user pages belonging to twenty different people. I will be looking at all user pages together, looking for common threads in the way people introduce themselves to other Wikipedians.
I hope that my research will help answer questions about how people collaborate, work together, and share knowledge. If you are open to participating in this study, please reply to this message, on your User Talk page or on mine. I will provide you with a complete description of my research, which you can use to decide if you want to participate.
Thank-you,

It is not like I don't contribute enough as it is, with more than 11k pages on my watchlist and too longs hours spent every day. I appreciate what you and other editors contribute and I try not to remark on how they choose to spend their precious time. I don't really remember, but my guess is that at the time I hit this article I was going through a series of articles doing a specific task and I just wanted to focus on what I was doing. I saw something else that needed doing so I tagged it, thinking it is better than ignoring the problem, and maybe I'll return to it later (which I forgot to do), or someone else will, like yourself. I'll probably be sorry I even mentioned it in an hour, but anyway, perhaps I just expect more from someone as experienced as yourself. --Muhandes (talk) 07:34, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Recent Richard III edits
I appreciate your wanting to clean up questionable material on WP, but I think on Richard III (film) you were overzealous on certain counts.
Your best edits here are wanting to tag with the {{fact}} template that Olivier only wanted to cast Brit actors, and Olivier's motives for breaking the fourth wall. The assertion that Walton had a recurring musical theme could be WP:OR, though is easily verified from watching the movie.
I think you slightly misunderstand the use of the "weasel" tag, and something else should be used for the phrase "could be considered". Weasel is meant to be used when the text is vague about the outside support for a statement.
You were harsher on DVD Movie Central than on DVD Beaver, but the editor of DVD Movie Central is a known Hollywood film technician, a published novelist, and has appeared on the Colbert Report, so in spite of his self-published status, this still fully complies with WP standards for "reliable sources". (WP explicitly allows self-published material by anyone also published in known reliable venues, such as the personal blogs of known New York Times reporters, etc.)
TO cite Amazon.com to establish that a particular CD exists and to get its basic description is completely legitimate. Please don't ever tag anything like that.
Even more obviously, to cite Premiere magazine to establish that a film was listed by Premiere on some "100 films..." list is entirely legit, and you should never tag anything like that.
You don't need to tag a subset of the "cast" section with a tag that says you need to put into prose rather than list. The "House of York" section was a subset of the "cast" section.
A gray area is the credibility of the "Richard III society". They were originally established to push a point of view, that R3 did not commit the crimes attributed to him. However, this isn't exactly a "fringe" view. While this is believed by a minority of historians, it's a very substantial minority (as opposed to the very slim minority of historians who think Edward DeVere wrote Shakespeare's plays) and is heavily debated among serious scholars. Furthermore, The cites in the article to the R3 society are not pertaining to their main thesis.
Finally, there is absolutely no reason at all to doubt the credibility of online essays published by Criterion Collection, none, nichts, nada. They are one of the best and most important distributors of DVDs around, one of the first to introduce bonus features, letterboxed films, and they only release old classics in pristine cleaned-up editions. The were the first DVD alternate audio commentaries, and still have some of the best audio commentaries out there always by well-known film historians, and they also debuted "special edition" DVDs. They are a pioneer. Frankly, of all your tags, your tagging this as a possibly unreliable source is absolutely baffling.
Feel free to restore your three {{Fact}} tags, but the other tags you made are, I think, unwarranted and should be left alone.--WickerGuy (talk) 17:09, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
;MOre on R3 Society edits
As I noted above, citing the Richard III Society is a grey area, since they push a POV, but not a fringe POV. However, neither of the R3 Society cites has anything to do with that POV, and they in turn cite sources. The cite from them regarding Olivier's feelings about Jed Harris in turn cites Olivier's own book On Acting, so that should be fine. The cite from them regarding Olivier's alteration of the play is their author quoting another critic (John Cottrell) who wrote of full biography of Olivier. It would be technically better for our article to cite the original autobio of Olivier and Cottrell's bio of Olivier, but if we don't know the page numbers, I think the cites from these in the articles on the R3 Society page can stand. Also in the second case, the R3 Society writer is Paul Trevor Bale, an established film editor in the British film industry.--WickerGuy (talk) 19:34, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
;My own fixes & "filibuster"
:I have changed the sentence you tagged about casting from "Olivier chose to cast only English actors" to "Olivier cast only English actors". You also tagged with {{fact}} a very dubious assertion about why Olivier chose to break the fourth wall (talk to the audience) which I'm pretty certain is just false, so I have deleted that one. The third bit you tagged with {{fact}} I think can stay, but I am going to reword it slightly.
:A "filibuster" is an attempt to delay a decision by prolonging discussion with obstructionist intent. I honestly don't think I have done that. Rather, since your tags were so extensive and copious, I chose to analyze each and every one of them, since each of them was problematic for a slightly different reason.

Re:
R3 Edits Redux
I think you are right that we cannot use DVDBeaver as a "reliable" source, especially as the author (gary Tooze) has been accused on three separate occasions of plagiarism. I was slightly inclined to cut him some slack as he has been interviewed in venues WP considers reliable, but he has never actually published in such venues, which is the formal WP criterion for permitting self-published.
However, the amazon review is a different story. WP guidelines (at WP:RELIABLE) explicitly state (emphasis added by me)
{{quote|self-published media...are largely not acceptable. This includes any website whose content is largely user-generated, including the Internet Movie Database, Cracked.com, CBDB.com, and so forth, with the exception of material on such sites that is labeled as originating from credentialed members of the sites' editorial staff, rather than users.}}
As the Amazon review was written by their editorial staff rather than an Amazon user, it clearly passes the criterion as stated above.

PS A quick check establishes that DVDBeaver has been used as a source in about 15 other movie articles, which of course proves nothing re Wikipedia:Other stuff exists.

Redwall AfDs
I think you maybe ought to nominate World of Redwall for deletion, maybe bundle it into the current List of Species AfD. I gave up on trying to keep the articles cruft-free and encyclopedic years ago (lost interest in the series too, tbh), and Wikia's now visible and viable for fans of the series. So for whatever it's worth I think your deletions were the right thing to do, even if I'm s'posed to be an inclusionist. No need to notify me about any further AfDs (Redwall or otherwise) either, with my !vote cast I'm heading back off into retirement. McJEFF (talk) 04:59, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi TPH,
Just a quick reminder - it's only fair to warn article creators when you put an article up for speedy deletion. I'm aware that Twinkle can sometimes not do this, so you may want to check if that's how you nominate articles. I'm referring to the Tiger Love (band) article; I've left a message at the article creator's (Orangejoysoda1). Cheers. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 17:16, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

I know that a couple of admins have threatened to block you this year over stuff like this, and (although I haven't looked through all your edits) I get the impression that this kind of thing is happening less often. You're still unhelpfully sarcastic in some AfD discussions, though. I don't want to see you blocked. Of course it's okay to get frustrated sometimes (I can relate!), but do you have any other ideas as to how to make it less likely that your frustrations don't turn into attacks on other editors?

Though we're lacking SIGCOV on this actor, it has been confirmed he hits WP:ANYBIO in that when younger he did receive a notable award for "Best Young Actor Co-starring in a Cable Series" for Salute Your Shorts,[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0100989/awards][http://www.youngartistawards.org/pastnoms14.htm] and his body of work is itself verifiable. My thought is that even if fa topic might fail WP:GNG, the instructions at WP:N state "A topic is also presumed notable if it meets the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right"... sending us to the subject-specific WP:ENT and its criteria of "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." I know SIGCOV is the easiest way to determine notability... it's just that guideline does not mandate it as the only way. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:47, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Krakatoa
Originally the three current (? I havent looked them for a long time) and rather messy articles were one and when it was vandalised it was sheer hell trying to work out what had been put in or left out and keep the one article to make sense.
There is a project that tried to prevent ad hoc deletions of popular culture related articles - however I think I can see your point (I think, about the article) about this one (the other articles about Krakatoa are as messy and deserve a lot of attention).
I will try to look at it more carefully - and would rather see a pruned article remain in existence than for it to be bazzooka'd out completely - there is a brilliant book about how Tibet was used in western culture to contain a range of western culture ideas about the exotic - Krakatoa has not has such a book (but deserves one, specially about fears about volcanoes etc) - but I do believe a worked on article deserves keeping... cheers and have a safe christmas SatuSuro 09:48, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

popular culture sections
In the last week you seem to have removed about two dozen or more popular culture sections from articles; some are minor sections containing 2 or 3 dubious references, but most of them are important, containing the use of the theme as an important element of notable and even famous cultural works, which can easily be documented. there is no rule against this material, and your reckless and indiscriminate removal appears to me both pointy and unconstructive. I have reverted most of the significant ones. (In cases where you seem to have deleted the entire section because of one foolish entry, I restored it without the entry. One or two other editors did similarly before I got to them. In one case, you reverted them back, without discussion. I suggest one of two courses: I think the best course is to examine the list for insignificant individual items, and remove them one at a time, discussing on the talk page any challenged item. Alternatively, start an rfc on the existence of these sections. If you do the first, I'll certainly support you with respect to any of the nonsense that sometimes makes up a usually small portion of these sections . If you choose the second, I'll oppose you as strongly as I can, andI remind you that in the last year or two I have won the great majority of the AfDs on such articles that I think worth engaging in. I think the consensus will be firmly in favor of them, but you of course have the right to challenge it. But if you revert the restoration of these sections I will do what I reasonably can to stop you. We've fought about this on and off over the years, but even if I agreed with you, I would still say that I think you're going much too fast and drastic to accomplish anything. I consider them not just encyclopedic , but of essential importance--the relationship between cultural works is what makes up culture. . DGG ( talk ) 07:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

A nice round robin
Hi,
Are you still interested in the idea of at least some non-admins being able to view deleted pages? I understand that the proposal was shot down previously by foundation counsel; however I believe I have at least two possible answers to their concerns.
One possibility is to make this prospective (apparently the antonynm of retrospective although I'm not so sure) - that is to say that only edits deleted after its implementation can be viewed. For revisions such as libelous edits or copyright violations and so on, there can be a hard delete, lying some way between this soft delete and oversight, which will function just like a present deletion. Admins could also have the power to toggle a deletion from hard to soft (or to undelete) - so selected deletions made before this feature is implemented could be made soft.
The second possibility is to introduce a procedure somewhat like RFA where users are given permission to view deleted edits by the community. As admin privileges are currently granted not just based on trust in general, but also on trust that the tools will be used appropriately, there is a much greater pool of users who would be eligible to be given this permission.
And of course, it is perfectly possible to use both of these systems at once.
I have cross posted this to a few users who were active in the discussion in 2008 - I don't feel this is a violation of CANVASS because I have not made the proposal myself - the reality is I need an experienced Wikipedia with some "street cred" to make it. I already attempted to steer a discussion of a similar proposal this way, but sadly that discussion is irretrievable (see here - or even better, don't!). Because I have posted this to a few users, I would be greatful if you would reply at User_talk:Egg Centric/Proposal and perhaps we can get a discussion going!
Thank you!

Destiny USA article rebuild
I'm creating a new Destiny USA/Carousel Center page when the mall renames later this year. Basically, I'm merging the information from the Destiny USA, History of Destiny USA, and Carousel Center page into one page with a newly expanded history, which will replace the "Former Anchors" list and make it a bit more like the Walden Galleria article. User:TheListUpdater/Destiny USA is the page. I've done some work on it, but it still needs a bunch of work: there's definite gaps in the history, several bare references, and clutter from the old Carousel Center page. I ask that if you do take a look at it, please don't remove anything, and just add the < ! -- tag if needed. TheListUpdater (talk) 18:26, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Hiya !! I saw your edit taking out the "anchors" section on Bayshore Mall. I'm sure you are totally correct, but could you give a better explanation of why you took out this historical information? The only explanation on the edit summary is "Anchors: No". Since that section was there when I started trying to add citations, and looks like it was there for a long time, could you tell me why you removed it entirely with no explanation or help on the talk page? You removed the only reference to Macy's being in the mall as well as the history of the anchors of the mall. Thank you for your explanation! Ellin Beltz (talk) 05:05, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks for the explanation. I couldn't find an Internet source for Macy's either, but I have correspondence out with the company to find if they ever were in Bayshore. If they say they were, it's a simple trip to the library for old newspapers for a source. It's certainly not important enough to worry about either way. Thank you for telling me about the list, unfortunately that's what was there for five years before I touched the page, so I left it. I tend to be bold by adding citations, not taking away things that were there when I started poking. But thank you for the changes and the knowledge.

Hey Hammer, I looked at that CSD candidate and the associated ones, but can't see the forest for the trees because we seem to be dealing with a walled garden of sorts, and I am unwilling to click through all the bluelinks to see if there isn't associated notability.

Question
TPH,
I was wondering if there's any good way to look through Wikipedia for articles that got tagged for improvement (for example, improving sourcing from being nearly non-existent) years ago that haven't been touched and that might therefore be good to look over for possible removal. The "Free Independent Traveler" discussion spurred this thought...it was tagged initially something like five or six years ago (it may have been some sort of "fad term" at the time) and never got improved.Tyrenon (talk) 06:15, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch. I'm not sure how to use the bot to generate a list of "look these over" articles. However, I also got a link to WP:DUSTY from it, so that's a good starting place for now. Thanks a bunch.Tyrenon (talk) 06:30, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

About List of people in Playmen ...
Hi TenPoundHammer, I'm writing to ask you to (at least temporarily) withdraw this nom, as I'm working to adress the problem you have pointed. About the red links, the 90% of them are notable Italian actresses, they have articles in other-lenguages-Wikipedias and have enough books & news sources and film/tv/stage credits to pass WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR and to have an article in WP; sadly the actual situation is mainly caused by a general poorness of articles about Italian genre cinema, that from about one year I'm trying to repair. As said by WP:LSC, it's reasonable to expect the articles about these persons could be forthcoming in the (short) future, and I'm personally working on that, as from yesterday I created articles about Martine Brochard, Jenny Tamburi, Ines Pellegrini, Lory Del Santo, Anna Maria Rizzoli, Maria Rosaria Omaggio, Nadia Cassini, Erna Schürer, Tinì Cansino and more.
No prejudice in speedily renominating these articles in one month if the red links will still appear too much.

No vandalism!
My confusion on how to remove a redirect, or propose to.
Thanks for the tips. I've never tried/proposed to delete anything before, and for the special case of a redirect, I found the docs a bit of a hard maze to wander. I was trying to remember what I've done on private MediaWiki installations, which is obviously different.
So, don't blank it; OK. And I guess I tagged it for the wrong queue. (And I don't know if tag or queue are the wrong words there...) This was my first try using Twinkle. "XFD" in the Twinkle menu seemed to be as close as I could get. This may not come up much, with a redirect, but what is the best way propose redirect deletion, whether with Twinkle or without? Thanks! Ale And Quail (talk) 04:15, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Synthesis
The main problem is that the Bubbling Under charts have different rules than the main charts. You cannot drop from the Hot 100 to the Bubbling Under chart. This means that if the song that would be number 101 on an extended Hot 100 has already had a higher position, it won't be number 1 on the Bubbling Under chart. Thus, "Extended Hot 100" number 101 is not the same song as "Bubbling Under" number 1. By listing a song as 101 in a discography, we are claiming the two are equivalent when they are not. That's not only a WP:SYNTH violation, it gives the wrong answer.
Whitburn uses a shorthand to include the Bubbling Under chart, and that's his business. The way it is done on Foo Fighters discography#2001–2010 is the only way I know of to include a Bubbling Under position in a discography and comply with our policies.—Kww(talk) 11:15, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Inappropriate rationales in AfD Nominations
Please review User talk:TenPoundHammer/Archive 14#WP:IINFO. In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of April Fool's Day jokes (2nd nomination), you again made an argument that is entirely unsupported by the text of the quoted policy. Rather than delivering a template warning you that you're acting in a disruptive manner, I thought I'd try again with a personal appeal: please stop this. It's disruptive. If you can't actually come up with a real reason to nominate something for deletion, then you really have no business starting such a nomination in the first place. It may be a bit more work if you forced yourself to nominate articles using policies and guidelines in accord with what they actually cover, but I am confident that any article that ought to be deleted by policy can, in fact, have a valid rationale written for it that does not rely on deception. If you continue to nominate articles based on inapplicable policies, I will seek sanctions on you, such as a topic ban from AfD. I sincerely hope that will not be necessary.

Not sure why you seem to be going after articles that I have made/edited in that subject, but just because an article is poorly written or sourced does not mean it is automatically a redirect. If you took more than a cursory look at "Dive" in Google, there is certainly enough information to warrant a page with the Dove Awards and all - maybe alterting, you know, the author of the page is better than a decision to redirect for no apparent reason. FTSOTC is even more notable, although certainly not that well written - once again, you could tell me that and I'd fix it. Finally, the 'bad charts' are all Billboard charts that are available at [http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/currentsingles Billboard.biz]. Toa Nidhiki05 01:33, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I would like to come here, not to question your edit, but to question your lack of professionalism when writing on the section where one justifies their edits.

Hi
I'd started a Propose for Deletion on the Dennis Morriseau article and it was undone by someone who'd edited the article heavily, so I feel I've gotten myself involved yet again in something I don't really know enough about. The article seems to be pretty clearly mostly based on Morrisseau's own self promotion and publication, rather than any actual or real accomplishment. I looked at the process you pointed me to but am having difficulty figuring what to do next. I think the article's potential deletion is worthy of discussion but need some help with wading through what must seem to be a simple process to more experienced editors.

Moving on from the AN/I thread
Dear TenPoundHammer: This is Tristessa here, the admin who jumped in from the blue on the AN/I thread. Please don't hate me; I come in peace. I hope you don't mind me taking this to your talk page; the AN/I thread has (rightly) been closed due to lack of consensus for administrative action. I'd like to discuss a few points with you, and make a few suggestions.
Whilst it's indubitable that you do great work, and lots of it — I'd politely point out that a lack of active opposition doesn't absolve you of responsibility to consider editors' concerns. I mean that purely from a feedback-based perspective. It could be an incorrect perception on my part, but it seems as though you view any sort of criticism of your work by anyone as an attack against you. Related to this is a pattern of riding out storms: editors stating, as you did at AN/I, things like "nobody except X opposes me" as reasons for just moving on without addressing the concerns can create frustrating popularity contests that are likely to repeat endlessly.
I proposed the WP:TBAN given the poor quality of dialogue at the RFC/U, in the hope that it might force you to put the redirect button aside and talk. It wasn't meant as a punishment. It went down like a lead balloon, and probably quite rightly. But would, I ask, it hurt to hold off redirecting articles while they're at AfD for a little while, and to talk to users a little more patiently? Would it hurt, similarly, to explain and discuss patiently and with an assumption of good faith? Would it hurt to slow down a little, calm down, breathe a little more deeply; to understand that opposition is a useful means of gaining feedback as a Wikipedia editor? I hope you may consider this. You might have an easier time as a result, and the editors you've got into conflict with may hopefully understand their own issues better also. With best wishes, --Tristessa (talk) 21:41, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Not according to the hoax template; if it's a case of puffery you can argue for its deletion as an advertisement, which would probably be fine in this case, but that's not strictly speaking a hoax, which is completely made up.

Gongshow Talk 03:18, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for the compliment. I figure most AfDs get started over concerns about sources, so it just makes sense to post my findings when I find something, support someone else's findings if they beat me to it/find something I missed, or support deletion/redirection if I find nothing. It also helps to think of an AfD as a discussion rather than a debate. The latter seems to have more drama, and who on the Internet wants that?! Gongshow Talk 20:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed changes to the criteria for speedy deletion
I would like to propose some changes to the criteria as follows:
:# Merge A9 into A7. The two are very similar, as they both deal with notability issues. (I hope you're not offended by this since A9 was your idea.)
:# Merge U1 into G7. The two are very similar, so why have a separate criterion for userspace?
:# Expand G12 to include any page that could get Wikipedia into legal trouble, including files meeting criteria F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F9 or F11. Those F-criteria deal with copyright and licensing issues, just like G12. Oh, and there's something else the speedy deletion criteria need to cover so Wikipedia isn't on the FBI's Most Wanted list: illegal files. There are some things that are illegal to display (I think you know what I'm talking about) and must go quickly so Wikipedia doesn't get in legal trouble. Illegal files could be covered by G12 too.
And I propose 2 new criteria:
:A11: Unencyclopedic articles with no valuable history, including dictionary definitions, how-to articles, essays, things made up one day and others. A11 would not include articles that could become encyclopedic with a reasonable amount of effort. I know this will be controversial, but please think about it before automatically !voting oppose.
:G13: Content forks, especially disruptive ones, where there is no reason to keep. A10, T3, F1 and F8 could be merged into G13. Why have four separate criteria when one will do?
I have proposed these changes to help simplify the criteria, avoid getting Wikipedia into legal trouble and save time pointlessly debating unencyclopedic articles that wouldn't stand a chance of surviving AfD.

Spotted on NPP - Ferroconcrete (disambiguation). Points to Reinforced concrete, as well as Ferroconcrete, which was, until today, a redirect to the former link on ferroconcrete. The article is now about a branding company which may or may not be notable.

Hi TPH! I have been working on Johnny River's discography page and I have a question on where to list some of his albums.

Suggestions for resolving deletion concerns
Hi. I've been reading some recent, threads where some concerns have been raised about some of your deletion work. First, let me thank you for your hard work in trying to improve Wikipedia. Second, I think it would allay much of the concern if you were to make a clear statement voluntarily undertaking certain reasonable restrictions. I give some suggestions below. Please don't take this as a judgment of your past behaviour on each point; I appreciate that some of then intersect with undertakings you have already made elsewhere or things you may already be doing. Feel free to change them as you see fit.
- Take a one month break from deletions.
- Never file a AfD for an article you have filed an AfD for before.
- Never file a AfD within a year of the last AfD on that article.
- If a PROD is rejected, do not file an AfD for a week, and only have you have engaged in discussion on the article talk page.
- When you want to bring a group (e.g. 6 or more) of related articles to AfD for the same reason, test-file one and then file the others only if the first is closed "delete". Also, mention the group in the AfD and notify the relevant WikiProject.
- Withdraw AfD nominations promptly when you foresee an "obvious keep".
- Be moderate in AfD comments. Don't badger !voters. Comment on the policy arguments not the editors.

:I don't think there's much about the recent ANI silliness that suggests TPH needs to change much about what he's doing. The discussion of "ratios" is ridiculous. Editors are quite able to change their "ratios" right before an RfA, etc. by not nominating controversial articles. That we have an experienced editor who still does that, is a good thing. I think most of those "suggestions" are downright insulting given the triviality of the "concerns" that prompted it. And many go against the spirit of AfD and our community. I'm not speaking for TPH at all. Just voicing my opinion. If you're looking for an opportunity to challenge TPH on his deletions, that was not the ideal opening for it. Shadowjams (talk) 05:37, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
:: Thanks for voicing your opinion, but I'm really not trying to challenge anyone here. The two threads I linked to above show that a number of editors have raised concerns about TPH's approach to deletion, and I see no sign that they're going to stop doing so. My suggestions are aimed at helping TPH find a way to defuse the situation. Leaving aside the first one, none of these suggestions are especially burdensome, and all of them would have significant support (but not consensus) as policy. As I said above, some of them are in line with things TPH has already said. It is certainly within the norms of our community for an editor whose practices have been questioned to this extent to explain how they intend to address those concerns in future. In particular, I would hope that some set of assurances like those above would be sufficient to forestall any further rounds of fault-finding and finger pointing. I think that people would prefer such pro-active clarity for the future over any amount of defense of the past. Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 06:21, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | Last year, I realized that the ARC Weekly Top 40 was no longer on WikiPedia. Although it was accurate, a lot of people were unknown of this chart and the MBG Top 40 chart. At first I was a little upset it was not on the website. However, me being subscribed to Billboard, I realized that the information on ARC Weekly was "a little bit off". It says it's supposed to be Airplay and Sales. Unfortunately, the chart has undergone changes that no one else had known.
Yes, when I do not want to log into my Billboard.Biz subscription, I do visit ARC rockonthenet. But what I've noticed is that it was pretty much like Top40-charts.com. It seemed off from what it was supposed to be. I looked at Hot 100 Airplay, Mainstream Top 40, and even Pop Digital Songs; it seemed inaccurate. Another thing was that there were about 275 songs in its first year (1980), but there were only 156 songs in 2009. Since I knew the history of Contemporary hit radio and the formats it spawned into, I knew that the website did not provide enough information about its chart change. It was as if it focused on The Billboard Hot 100 from 1980 to 1990, Hot 100 Airplay and Sales from 1991-1996, Top 40 Tracks from 1996-2003, and the Mainstream Top 40 and Pop Digital from 2004-present. Thank you for deleting it on WikiPedia. Someone like me, who was born way after 1980, could have misused an inaccurate chart when trying to re-live Contemporary hit radio in the 1980s DominiquesMusic (talk) 11:38, 23 May 2012 (UTC) |

Deletion of Doghouse Diaries
Although the article has been deleted, I wasn't able to get any response for my last edit, which includes another reference from webmagazine, MakeUseOf. I agree some of these webmagazines I have never heard of, but that doesn't really qualify them to be unreliable sources. For example MakeUseOf, has a full editorial board, and not just from the magazine, but also from its wiki entry it seems like a reliable web magazine. In any case, this was my final comment, if because of this you change your mind, please let me know what I could do.
: I have added yet another reference which puts doghouse diaries in the list of Top 8 web comics. This was in the web-magazineMakeUseOf, an independent media magazine, with an independent editorial board. MakeUseOf, Mashable and Gizmodo, each of them have covered Doghouse Diaries well enough to qualify it to be notable. The objection however could be as to whether the above sources are reliable or not. Here are my points why they could be considered reliable
:* They are not related to Doghouse Diaries, nor does it seem that they are trying to unfairly promote Doghouse Diaries.
:* They have editorial system, for which I refer to their corresponding wiki articles, for example the editorial for MakeUseOf is Editorial staff. Each one of them has an Editor-in-chief and so on.
::The clarity of this discussion would be enhanced if the other wiki editors could cite the reason why they think the above references cannot be taken as reliable. Points like Mashable is a trivial source, is a trivial argument.Shashi B Jain (talk) 09:01, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Poor nomination judgment--withdraw vs. topic ban
As I've said in both Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reaver (Firefly) (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Browncoat (2nd nomination), you have either failed to make the most basic efforts to search for reliable sources to demonstrate notability, or you have made such efforts in an ineffectual manner. I really don't think you're going to like how those AfD's turn out. I strongly suggest that you withdraw them now, and topic ban yourself from AfD for six months, so the community doesn't do it for you. There will undoubtedly be some who will defend your nominations based on their own ideas of what AfD should be, possibly enough to save you from an AfD topic ban yet again, but you're just not learning from your mistakes. Every few weeks, here we are again, with you trying to delete something so clearly notable that I legitimately wonder what on earth you're thinking. Take a break, create content, or even better improve some of our notable-yet-the-article-currently-sucks content, rather than trying to get it deleted, please. Jclemens (talk) 07:33, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
:* TPH has a userbox boasting that he is #27 in the list of most active Wikipedians. Hasty activity of this kind boosts his edit count and taking more care would slow him down and so push him down that list. For example, notice that, for the article Reaver (Firefly) the article was prodded and then this was reverted and then the article was sent to AFD. The editor who created the article thus got two obnoxious templates on his talk page but, with all the related activity, TPH added lots of edits to his score. Now, what makes this busywork possible is Twinkle. It doesn't seem that Twinkle privileges can be revoked mechanically but perhaps some restriction which would threaten TPH's score might be considered. Warden (talk) 10:37, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

:*To all the above: I haven't been in the best of moods this week, and I think I took it out on the wiki.

It's always somebody else's problem anymore, it seems. I trust that Jclemens et al. will do the legwork this time instead of expecting it to do itself.

:**Tell you what--I propose a compromise: I will fix BOTH articles, personally, each within one week of its respective AfD closing as keep, if you agree to a binding, 180 day AfD topic ban, starting from the day I fix the second article to a mutually agreeable neutral third party admin's satisfaction. By "binding AfD topic ban" I mean that you irrevocably consent for that 180 day period to any admin, including me or any other INVOLVED admin, blocking you for the duration of the period if at any point you make an AfD nomination that any such admin deems to be not in the best interests of the encyclopedia.

TPH, your deletion nomination at the subject AfD does not appear to contain any justification for deletion as articulated in WP:DEL#REASON. Can you please articulate such a reason? Your nomination statement appears to articulate reasons not covered by that (admittedly non-exhaustive) list, and instead references issues clearly fixable by normal editing. In light of past complaints of your alleged abuse of the deletion process as an attempt to spur cleanup, including a past RfC/U on your behavior, your statement will likely be used to determine whether further sanctions should be sought for what I perceive to be your repeated abuses of the AfD process. I would encourage you to be entirely thorough in your explanation. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 23:30, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello TenPoundHammer.

Bubbling Column
If you're going to treat the Bubbling Under chart as a separate chart, like you did on Trace Adkins', Blake Shelton's and Kenny Chesney's discographies, how do you want to go about the fact that most singles that charted on the Hot 100 also bubbled under? For example, you only have three peaks in Blake's Bubbling column when he's had [http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/charts/chart-search-results/1?orderBy=chartDate&orderType=a 17 singles] peak on the Bubbling Under chart.

:This new method of creating two columns that will never overlap is making things far more complicated than they need to be.

Contested prod
Hi, I removed your prod tag from List of Keys of the City in the United States because I think the topic is notable enough to at least merit an AfD. Most of the recipients listed on the page are in fact notable (though I have my doubts about the cat) and I would think the sourcing could be improved since local media often report on such events. "Keys to the city" seems like a notable concept, so I think a reasonable case could be made for having a list of notable honorees. This is debatable of course, but I think a wider discussion is needed. Camerafiend (talk) 02:18, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

CSD R3 and page moves
Speedy deletion criterion R3 applies only to newly created page titles, it explicitly "does not apply to redirects created as a result of a move." (emphasis in original). This is doubly so for titles, such as Glossary of 'carny' slang that have existed since April 2010. Thryduulf (talk) 01:09, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
:The same applies with regards {{noredirect|File:This is the cover art for the soundtrack Irvine Welsh's Beautiful World Ecstasy Remixes by the artist Various. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to the label, Toolroom Records, or the graphic artist(s), Mark Blamire.jpg}}. There was nothing like a consensus to delete this at RfD - 1 person agreeing with a nominator after less than a day, neither of whom mentioned speedy deletion is not consensus, and as noted above R3 does not apply to redirects created as a result of page moves.

Could do with some feedback
Hello I have created a new template, Template:Sierra Adventure Games which covers all adventure games by Sierra Entertainment and excludes the flight simulators, strategy games and other genres by the same company. The way I see it, Sierra is best known for its' text and click and point adventure games. This template would certainly be a lot easier to read through than the complete list. On the other hand most of the series have their own navigation box, but they are snippets compared to this larger compact navigation box. A good idea would be to place this navigation in each of the series articles plus the standalone games and leave the smaller navigation boxes in the individual game of the series articles. Also Lucasarts has its own Adventure Games template, so it might not be a bad idea to apply the same for Sierra. Tell me what you think about it, cheers. Deltasim (talk) 11:28, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

In case you missed it at the latest pitchfork fest, my take...
Borrowing a few lines from Tijfo, because they are right on the mark: "The current batch of nominations is obviously bucking the trend, in particular because TPH entered a field he seems to have little if any expertise in. His deletion nominations were all template text saying basically that he doesn't know how to expand the articles, which comes as little surprise. Hopefully this is a learning experience that WP:IDON'TKNOWHOWTOEXPANDIT is not a good reason to nominate something for deletion, even more so when the nominator lacks expertise in the field. Let's call it a learning experience. I don't think any sanctions are necessary at this point." — Mr. Hammer: bad nominations, please don't go chasing tech stubs on DicDef grounds anymore. The nomination phrasing was also pretty, ummm, battlegroundy, so please do give that a miss, too. The Colonel does not have to list a reason for De-PRODding a piece — PROD is for completely uncontroversial deletion nominations and removal of the PROD template implies that there is controversy.

Re: Barenaked Ladies demo tapes
You're welcome. It seems like it's not uncommon for keep/delete arguments to be based on the shape of an article at the time. To me, it keeps things easier when editors stick to demonstrating their ability to evaluate Google/GNews/GBooks/etc. by affirming something like, "I searched and there are no sources" or "I searched and here are some reliable sources." When someone on either side of the fence is shown to be incorrect, they can hopefully learn and improve from it (assuming clue). Anyway, thanks for the nice words.

Re: Bubbling Under
I'm not sure that a consensus was achieved. I was hopeful that the 1/2a/2b/3a/3b/4 poll would make it easy, but only Eric444 made a decisive pick. Here's my take on things:
- Gongshow: Prefers the #101-125 format for the old songs; #1-25 for the new songs. Agreeable to all options (footnotes, separate columns, etc) that accomplish this goal.
- Kww: Prefers the #1-25 format for all songs. Seemed open to the suggestion of #101-125 for the old songs if all BU peaks were to be placed in a separate column.
- Eric444: Prefers the #101-125 format for all songs, citing Whitburn.
- Piriczki: Prefers the #101-125 format for the old songs; #1-25 for the new songs.
- Lil-unique1: Prefers the #1-25 format for all songs.
- My76Strat: Prefers the #1-25 for all songs. Seemed open to using footnotes to explain the BU chart differences.
- TenPoundHammer: You can answer this better than me of course, but if I read the thread correctly, you generally seemed (at least initially) to support Eric444's position.
I think those were all the participants to date. I left a message at Wikipedia talk:Record charts as well. Cheers, Gongshow Talk 23:59, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

I am gently aghast that you have deleted the above fine and helpful essay, especially since it was a subject of a redirect discussion back last December - where the consensus was that the redirect be kept. While this was not a deletion discussion, I would infer that the inference was that none of the correspondents considered the target page to be a deletion candidate. I indeed suggest that there was in fact a demonstrated consensus to keep the page, via the redirect discussion (and thus fail the CSD criteria) and I should be grateful if you would undelete the page, and allow me to participate in the deletion discussion.

Edit summaries
Could you be a little more accurate with your edit summaries? [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Broward_Mall&diff=514533717&oldid=510152933 this edit] isn't a revert, it's a redirect to eliminate a content fork. Yes, it was created as a redirect, but every edit since 2009 has been a full article (and the other title was the redirect) and characterizing it as a revert after that much time is a bit of a stretch. Further, the article title (under "Broward Mall") is the one linked on the template {{tl|Broward County Malls}}, the one linked on the template {{tl|WestfieldUnitedStates}} and the one linked on the template {{tl|Mills corp}}. (I am aware of this because this is how I found the article originally.) It's nice that you are standardizing all of the Westfield properties with their new prefixes, but your edit summary was not really an accurate description of what you did. Horologium (talk) 20:19, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
:Follow-up: I get to learn how to do history merges now, since the two articles are essentially sequential edits of one another. (There was always only one article, with the other title redirected; the only difference was which title was the active one.) If you had redirected the other way around, it would have been easier, but I'll see what I can do to fix it, now that it's all buggered. I'll deal with this tomorrow, since it's way too late tonight to learn something I've never dealt with as an editor, let alone as an administrator. Horologium (talk) 03:17, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
BigCape2012
I suggest that Bigcape2012 be blocked. The last edit on Drake Jensen's page not only added "colourful" commentary, but also added a fictitious band member who plays spoons. In my opinion this amounts to sabotage and ridicule. This user has been warned many times and is still not understanding the rules. This last edit should be grounds for blocking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.194.127.36 (talk) 13:01, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Not TV Guide
Hi, TPH. Do you have any strong feelings about the cable channel placements being listed in so many TV station articles ("The station is seen on cable channel 2 in city A, channel 6 in city B, and channel 9 in other areas of the market")? I really don't think they add anything but clutter, and I think it falls under WP:NOTTVGUIDE, but I don't want to act unilaterally and I don't have time to do a cleanup anyway.

Country
How do you think the new country chart is going to affect Whitburn's Country Songs book? Do you think he'll use this new hybrid (crap) chart, or the airplay one? NYSMtalk page 22:18, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
:The next edition of Country Songs is coming out in March, I already have it pre-ordered. The Top Pop Singles also notes every song that was #1 on one of 6 airplay charts (Country, alternative rock, mainstream rock, R&B, adult top 40, and adult cotemporary). NYSMtalk page 22:39, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
According to Billboard, even though "Jesse James" is at #51 on [http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/clay-walker/chart-history/120484?f=1226&g=Singles Country Airplay] this week, it's still considered to have peaked at #57 on the main [http://www.billboard.com/#/artist/clay-walker/chart-history/120484?f=357&g=Singles Country Songs] chart. For songs that debuted on Country Airplay this week, like Hunter Hayes' "Somebody's Heartbreak," should an Airplay column be added to his discography, or is Airplay only supposed to be used on song articles?

Trailer Choir
My dear friend in country music,
I see that you recently deleted my note that Trailer Choir is no more, noting that it was "not in source." While Facebook is neither my first choice for an encyclopedia source, nor particularly easy to review a past date on, it is indeed still there if you are patient enough to find September 2nd (Try clicking on '2012,' then 'September' below the ads on the right). I can only post a direct link to the picture that was shared along with it but originally posted by another person so doesn't have the words I cite. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Vinny-Hickerson-Fan-Page-Biggest-Loser-12/145837845507402#!/photo.php?fbid=254204238015635&set=a.201877573248302.28224.169664126469647&type=1&theater) Find this picture on Vinny's page on September 2nd, though, and you will find the post. Since the "Recent Posts by Others" section which was the other part of my source doesn't move so fast as the main page, it is still fairly easy to scroll back and see this part of my source material in an exchange between Vinny and a lady named Donna Cairns.
I will try to find a more reputable source when possible, but when I had time the only source I could find got the details wrong (I follow this band's members pretty religiously on social media so have some context for recognizing possible errors) and I don't have time now to do the grunt work. I thought the end of their band's existance as we've known it was too significant to sit on but I will bow to your more experienced opinion if you disagree.
God bless and happy editing,

Better Dig Two
The November 15th BCU (http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/photos/pdf/2012/BCmw1115.pdf) has an interview with Dann Huff talking about producing the song.
{{quote|Meanwhile, producer Dann Huff went to a Band Perry concert and recognized the progression the group is making as it moves toward headlining arenas. “We’ve added a few more electric guitars since our first album was released, just because live, it’s a rock’n’roll kind of show,” Neil says. “We definitely want the music on our second album to represent that. I think Dann did a great job capturing that.”
They cut the instrumental tracks in less than three hours with numerous session musicians joining Reid and Neil. Handclaps intensified the demo’s rhythms, and the end result was a musical bed with some dramatic arcs between power and silence.
“They really straddle that line,” Huff explains. Their concert has “the power of a rock show, but they have a real kind of stick-to-it-ness about their love for acoustic instrumentation.”
The vocals were fine-tuned during several sessions in the course of a week, ending up with a product that “took the demo and just lit it on fire,” McAnally says. “What’s cool is there’s all these dynamics in the way Dann cut it. It’s way up and way down—it’s like a rollercoaster.”}}

[[Template:Allele]]
Hi TPH, I hope you don't mind some friendly advice here. You and I have clashed before about your past reinstating of declined speedy deletion templates, and it just isn't acceptable - if anyone other than the creator of the page disagrees (and it isn't just an admin thing), they can remove it and that's that, even if you are completely convinced you are right. You must then not reinstate it, but should take to PROD or AfD. Edit-warring about it seems especially pointless in this case - it's a harmless template, and it really doesn't matter if it hangs around for another week while it's discussed. So come on, why not stick to what you're good at (and you are very good at what you do) and don't get yourself into any trouble by fighting over this? Don't stir it up at ANI, just move on. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:10, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Deleting a sandbox page
You have organised the deletion of a page from my sandbox {{User:Clpda/Sandbox/List of national libraries}} earlier this year. I fully admit that I should have cleaned it up myself, since it had been used long ago for development of a page that is now up and running, and apologize for that. However, you were wrong in declaring me "retired" with no input for 3 years, my last contribution dating from August 25th 2011.

An awkward question about your edit in WP:FFD
Hello, TenPoundHammer
I had a question, which is rather awkward, but I hope I am not bothering you. What is [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2012_December_16&curid=37940598&diff=529404551&oldid=529311351 this edit] actually doing?
If you are confused about what I am asking, here is an explanation: If someone showed me this edit without telling me you did it and asked what I thought, I'd say it seemed like vandalism or trolling: A user deleted a discussion and told its nominator to relist it because no one cares. But your name on top changes everything. You don't vandalize, therefore this edit is not vandalism. So, my question is: What is it?
Merry Christmas

Continued from Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Tony Fox/Sandbox2...
Yes, we happily redirect from userspace to mainspace. It happens by default every time a user moves their draft into mainspace, the recommended method for creating new pages. If you don't like making these redirects, a soft redirect could be used. What we don't do is redirect from mainspace to userspace, on the rationale that readers shouldn't unexpectedly find themselves out of mainspace. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:27, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of [[Agenda: Grinding America Down]]
Before you consider putting this article up for deletion, I would like to explain the problems that have plagued this article.
Please look through the talk page for the article and the edit history. Pull up some of the early versions of the article. I have twice proposed limiting the editing of this article to registered users with a solid editing history. Persons have edited outside of user accounts on a number of occasions. No one has considered my proposals. This is an article that attracts persons with strong and sometimes misguided opinions. They think the article should be a propaganda piece, rather than an article written with an attempt to be objective. I have had my original material almost completely deleted at this point. If you look thru the history of this article and still think it should be considered for deletion, so be it. But, first, please examine this article's history. Thank you.

[[Power center (retail)]] / [[Retail park]]
Hi there,
I notice that you redirected the Retail park article to Power center (retail). While this may have been the correct decision (as both are similar concepts under different names) I'm surprised that you appeared simply to discard the existing Retail park article content in favour of a redirect. While there would undoubtedly have been some overlap, the two were not exact duplicates and (IMHO) could have been merged. Ubcule (talk) 20:25, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

[[Westfield Southgate]]
It appears the Westfield Group made a change to the entry for this mall in the last month. They at one time listed 'Centre' as part of the name, probably since Australians and the English like to call malls centres. Anyway, you located more info than I did, so that's really what counts.

Hi TPH, I have begun a draft WP:RFC/u for Jax. While Banner and BHG have nominated many of his templates and stubs, you're one of the few who have actually initiated dialog with him on his talk page.

Feel free to revise and add diffs where you see fit. Is this the right approach? Have I detailed/requested the right things? Does it come across civil or too harsh? Not harsh enough?

Toxic ravine reply
How can there be sources like internet URL when the internet wasn't created when the game was released? It's a small game like Swords of Chaos, not many people played it like Legend of the Red Dragon so nobody really talked about it in newspapers or magazines. Actually, I bet you can find references for those games in computer magazines back in the day, but those are long gone...
From the link you gave me WP:GNG :
"if appropriate sources cannot be found after a good-faith search for them, consider merging the article's verifiable content into a broader article providing context."
I did as many search as I could, just can't really find anything else to add. So we should merge both games into broader article? What article? Isn't there another solution to keep the article? You do realize that a lot of articles on wikipedia are just like those games, I understand wikipedia's policy on it, however if we keep deleting articles, it won't become the entire human knowledge encyclopedia it's supposed to be.

From context, it looks like Billboard used to have pages that listed the top 100 songs for each decade. Has Whitburn got lists like this in any of his books?

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Blanking of trivia sections
I've noticed that you tend to remove "popular culture" and "trivia" sections, like that on One, Two, Buckle My Shoe. It's commendable that you care about cleaning up those, but your approach is problematic; by simply removing the whole section you're throwing away a lot of babies with the bathwater, content that should be retained either in the article or at other related topics. Proper cleanup of such sections is not easy - WP:TRIVIA explains that most content should be sourced and relocated, not deleted (only speculative or factually incorrect entries should be removed - except at WP:BLPs; there, it's OK to remove everything unsourced). I know that's a lot of work - if you're not willing to do it, the very least you must do is placing a link at the talk page to your edit removing the section, so that a different editor in the future may find it and properly fix the content (this is all explained in WP:PRESERVE, which is a Wikipedia policy).
"Popular culture" sections in particular are a valuable resource, one of the strengths of Wikipedia with respect to other encyclopedias. Our distributed approach make it easy to surface many examples of cultural references that would be impossible to compile by a centralized team. Although the format in which those are usually first written tends to be poorly presented, they work as a kickstart for someone to later make an encyclopedia section out of those examples. You're preventing that to happen when you remove the whole section without a trace, to be lost in the article's history. Diego (talk) 08:21, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. Ihardlythinkso (talk) 21:16, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
:Your reply (copied from my Talk): "My bad. I forgot to paste the content in. I've redone the merge, and actually put the content from the "American board games" article into Board game now."
:Two Qs: 1) The image from the merged article was not carried forward. Why not? 2) I still don't see a merge consensus in that discussion. Just a merge proposal and a short discussion. No consensus. How do you justify coming in and doing the merge in light of that? Ihardlythinkso (talk) 21:34, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
::Your reply (copied from my Talk): "It's called being WP:BOLD. If there's no discussion either way, then either just do the merge, or just leave it a separate article. I think it should be merged, but it's clear that no one wants to discuss it either way. Why do you think it should not be merged?"
:::I don't get you. You say "no one wants to discuss it either way", but there was a short discussion on the Talk. And any fair reading of the short discussion by a CRAT would result in "No consensus for merge" or even "Keep as separate articles", since the participant advocating to keep separate, offered several arguments for his position, wheras the editor advocating merge, had only a single argument, and failed to follow up and contend with the reasons given for keeping separate.
:::I asked you why the photo image was not also merged. No answer from you. Please answer.
:::I haven't evaluated what my opinion would be about merging, but I see no reason to disagree with the participant who advocated reasons to keep separate. You say you "think it should be merged", but instead of adding your thought and advocacy on the tail of the short discussion at the Talk, you did a REDIRECT without informing anyone or discussing, then when I reverted you and asked what justification you have to merge, you reverted me and went ahead with the merge again. I think this is much too forceful, and I don't see you as a collaborator, just as a "clobberer". I will be reverting your merge for the reasons given here. Please start collaborating and communicating in future. You did the same thing at ICCF U.S.A.. (A REDIRECT which essentially destroyed the article content, which I reverted saying it was no way to delete an article and if you wanted to do that you should open an AfD, and on the AfD you opened you subsequently wrote that your REDIRECT was reverted without reason, which was false. You circumvented process in order to remove content then, and you've circumvented process now.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 22:34, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
:::Perhaps I agree with the merge, I'm not sure. (Another way to go is to merge as you have done, then fork later, if other similar articles are created.) But I don't like the way you went about it, forcing me to restore the article at ICCF U.S.A. as well as the article today. Please don't destroy articles using REDIRECT.

Thanks for your note, TenPoundHammer. I agree, the Legacy section probably isn't in the same state it was when the article was made FA, so I do plan on having a go at it later. Feel free to help.

I have added some of the "citation needed" myself as I am currently working on the citations; of course it's not easy to research and find sources sometimes, but I do own a few Tintin reference works.

College Park Mall (Saskatoon)
You left a note on my talk page regarding the deletion of the wikipedia page --> College Park Mall (Saskatoon) which I see has been deleted. The reason that page was created was in response to a discussion to start some shopping mall pages. The comment about no sources is true, there are not too very many sources about shopping malls unless there is a news item about it for some reason or t'other, but for the most part there are just shopping advertisements which don't help, so I don't know if shopping malls will make it big on wikipedia. No biggie about the deletion, I think the discussion has tapered off as well to create those types of pages. Have a great day. SriMesh | talk 21:17, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you!

I have nothing against listing Curb Records first. I just think that Taylor Swift and Keith Urban should stay because their single "Highway Don't Care" has already been listed as a #1 duet, song, video, and country music event on certain charts.

While I don't think that's particularly authoritative, this is a rather minor issue, so if you are determined to include it and believe it important enough to include and believe that the citation is valid, I've got nothing more to say on the subject.

Unnice dirty laundry crusade
Hi TPH,
Sorry if my comments tend offensive. I do not have a crusade against you. I suggest you review my comments in the RFC/U. Sometimes, your overly short nominations annoy. Often, something is definitely wrong with the page, but you provide so little reliable detail in the nomination that it is of no help in the review. If we were working side by side in real life, I would probably have poked you in the ribs. Communicating with you is awkward, because you are so rarely responsive. However, I don't want to complain, because I can see you are at working doing more important things, improving mainspace.
My wish for you is that you would try to stop relying on the word "stale", and instead say why something is stale, and consider that a fully marked up mainspace-worthy looking page is probably not what others consider "stale". If you don't like my poking, I will modify. My impression is that you don't even notice. Your usename, combined with cute otters that are nimble unlike a hammer, but scare me with their likelihood to bite, confuses me as to how best talk to you. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:36, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
It seems that you are confusing Secretary of Consumer Affairs of Puerto Rico with List of Secretaries of Consumer Affairs of Puerto Rico. The Secretary of Consumer Affairs of Puerto Rico is a post, similar to the Ministry of Consumer Affairs of other nations, and is a Cabinet-level officer of the Cabinet of Puerto Rico as well as being a member of the Council of Secretaries of Puerto Rico as established by the Constitution of Puerto Rico.
If you are interested in expanding the article you can either do a search in Google for 'Secretario de Asuntos del Consumidor' or extract information from the law that created such post.
Hope this clears things up.

Well, your sig does ask! {{smiley}} – Fayenatic London 08:59, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Mark Collie
Hi!
I've been working with Tubasection on a Mark Collie page that more accurately and completely represents his body of work, which is equal parts songwriter, producer, actor and philanthropist. We've fixed some factual errors, restructured the page, removed illogical date breaks (albums don't have an end date) and added a appropriate material and tables.
Currently the page is in my sandbox. Can you take a look and tell us how to proceed? With this sort of change is it protocol edit the existing page, or submit anew? Many thanks for your help and guidance. Kimbola (talk) 20:41, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

[[Keith Moon]]
I left {{tl|Place missing}} in the article as a reminder to me to fish out my copy of the DVD mentioned in the reference, and cite a specific time (ie: mm:ss), so the quotation is properly verifiable. Unfortunately, said DVD is currently buried somewhere in my house in a non-notable box in a non-notable cupboard. I think that's the right tag to use, it's basically the DVD equivalent of {{tl|Page needed}}. Yes, I know you shouldn't normally cite things from half-baked memories, but I thought I'd get away with this one. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:27, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Seeking a One-Time Exemption From TenPoundHammer's Law
Hi TenPoundHammer,
I have been working on a draft for an article for the next Slayer album for about the last 15 months or so. I would like to say that I have read your policy, and do generally agree with it. However, you make note that exceptions do exist, and I believe my draft is such a case. As of now, it has 22 citations, and a large body of text. I personally feel that the draft, as it currently sits, would make a worthwhile addition to Wikipedia, even in the state that it currently is. I have thought about just taking it live, but I'd really like to get your blessing for an exemption before I do, lest the page be nominated for speedy deletion.
Additionally, you mention Radiohead's In Rainbows as having been a valid exception. I believe that a comparison of content in my draft with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=In_Rainbows&oldid=97011396 this revision]] of In Rainbows (the fifth revision from the day the article was started) supports the validity of my request.
Thank you for your help,--L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:02, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Although I find your edit comment very unkind and unnecessary, I admit that I was wrong in making the edit in the first place. I am willing to try and abolish our animosity, because we do seem to be very similar (compare infoboxes), and could work well if we worked together and set aside our history.

Resources Global Professionals
Hi - I'm going to build an article about Resources Global Professionals, a professional services company with 70 offices worldwide. I have some good third party coverage and think they pass the noteworthiness test for an entry. There appears to be some history from four years ago with an earlier version of the article, deleted several times and eventually moved by you to the user Tweetah's page, where it languishes today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tweehtah/Resources_Global_Professionals Is it better to start a new article, or revert your move and edit the original to clean it up?

RE: 'Wheel of Fortune' edit I made..
Hello, and thank you very much for your warm welcome, that was quite kind.
I also appreciate you not flaming me! lol.
However I just want to raise one point: The edit I made to the Wheel of Fortune page was purely translation.
I found the wording of the article to be lacking in the area that I edited.
What I did was re-word what was already written (yes i did elaborate though) That is why I didn't cite anything when I made the changes.
I thought my final product was much easier to understand, the only reason I even went to make the edit was because last night I visited my folks and we watched Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune because it's a bit of a tradition with us lol.
Anyway toward the end of the episode, we all got into a debate concerning one of the rules of the show. My dad said one thing, My mother and I said another (ma and I were right, it was very obviously what we had said it was) My father is a person who can NOT stand being wrong.. ever. So we were forced to get the laptop and look up the answer. When I came to the Wiki article in question I exclaimed "A-HA! Prepare to eat your words Pops!" and I proceeded to read an excerpt which vindicated mom and myself.
Unfortunately my father countered with a long-winded attack on the articles wording and said because of the wording that we were wrong, which is not specific enough to be anything but subjective and therefore did not count, and he wins.
So I made that edit! lol!
Anyway, thank you again for the warm welcome, and I apologize for neglecting the S.O.P for Wikipedia. I just wanted to tell you my story while I was at it.
