You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:
This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.157.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:25, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 54.157.18.63.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Attack== 
Friend Brad, I didn't attack you.  Don't try to play that game with me.  I pointed out that you have made suggestions worthy of a high school student. That is not a personal attack. It is a statement of fact.  Read the original sources of Aquinas, and it should be noticed that these have not been copied, but only summarized, as required by the Wikipedia standards.  You still haven't answered my question:  What is the point of making an article about the thought of Aquinas concerning the sacraments, while significantly re-writing his original words?  I am open to any suggestions you might like to make.  So far as I am aware, there are no copyright violations, here.   ~~ A. E.

Friend Brad:  I am open to any suggestions you or anyone else wants to make concerning the article "Aquinas and the Sacraments" or any other article I have written.  As you will notice, there have been several revisions to it by other writers.  I am somewhat at a loss how someone hiding behind a pseudonym and completely anonymous to the public, and to me,  can be the victim of a "personal attack".

The speedy template said:

"It was previously deleted as a result of an articles for deletion (or another XfD) discussion, and is substantially identical to the version of the page that was deleted. (CSD G4)"

It was never deleted as a result of an xFD, therefore this reasoning is not possible.

== [[Freetime (Spyro Gyra album)]] ==

I have removed your speedy tag from this article. You indicated that it did not "indicate the importance or significance of the subject." However, the article concerned an album by a notable band ([[Spyro Gyra]], winner of multiple Grammy awards), and it also included an additional assertion of notability (that the album in question had reached #1 on the relevant Billboard chart). As such, your tag was plainly inappropriate. Please try to be more careful in the future. -[[User:Hit bull, win steak|Hit bull, win steak]]<sup>[[User talk:Hit bull, win steak|(Moo!)]]</sup> 16:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

== [[Hashem Abd al-Rahman]] ==

Looking back through your recent contributions, I noticed that you re-applied a {{template|prod}} tag to this article. Per [[WP:PROD]]: "If anyone, including the article's creator, removes Template:Prod from an article for any reason, do not put it back, except if the removal was clearly not an objection to deletion (such as blanking the entire article, or removing the tag along with inserting blatant nonsense). If the edit is not obviously vandalism, do not restore tag, even if the tag was apparently removed in bad faith. If you still believe the article needs to be deleted, list it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion." As such, please to not re-tag articles in this manner in the future, even if the person removing the tag does not make the changes you want to the article. If you feel that it should be deleted after a tag has been removed, AFD is always an option. -[[User:Hit bull, win steak|Hit bull, win steak]]<sup>[[User talk:Hit bull, win steak|(Moo!)]]</sup> 17:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

== Deletion requests ==

Thanks for being positive about my feedback. I've responded to your question about [[Harrison family]] on my talk page. 

I appreciate the work that you're doing on new page patrol, but I want to make sure that you're giving an appropriate degree of consideration to the merits of articles before nominating them for deletion. For example, it's relatively easy to verify that [[Velika Braina]] is a real town, and there's a long-standing community consensus here on EN that all verifiable towns are inherently notable. Even if the version here is just a stub at present, there are larger versions on [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velika_Braina French Wikipedia] and [http://sr.wikipedia.org/sr-el/%D0%92%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%91%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0 Serbian Wikipedia], both of which include referenced information that could be incorporated into the English article here (a task that the folks at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Serbia]] or [[Wikipedia:Translation]] would probably be glad to help with, if you can't read the language yourself). Remember, when you advocate deletion for an article, you're saying that the problems with it are fundamentally un-fixable.

Hi,

You recently [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jan_van_der_Crabben&diff=196082371&oldid=134513532 added] a "notability" tag to the article [[Jan van der Crabben]]. Could you explain your rationale behind adding the tag? Though the article has only a few references, they (particularly the 2nd and 3rd) would seem to satisfy the [[WP:BIO|requirement]] for non-trivial coverage in reliable sources.

== Prods ==

Hi Brad, just wanted to let you know I've contested several of your proposed deletions. On a number of articles you have proposed deletion, citing the lack of assertions of notability, when an assertion of notability is fairly clear. For example, on [[Alfredo Salazar Southwell]], "celebrated as a national hero" is an assertion of notability. Also note that the fact that, on its own, the fact that an article does not currently cite sources is generally not considered a sufficient reason for deletion (with some exceptions in the case of [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]]). For such articles, as an alternative to proposing deletion on sight, please consider adding <nowiki>{{unreferenced}} and {{notability}}</nowiki> tags. If the article remains unimproved despite the tags (for at least a few months, say), then that is the time to propose deletion or take the article to AfD. That's the generally accepted practice around here, anyway. Yours, [[User:Jfire|Jfire]] ([[User talk:Jfire|talk]]) 00:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

== Let me put this another way ==

Over the last couple of days, you've received messages from four different administrators (me, Black Falcon, Orangemike, and Golbez) saying that there are problems with the way you've been tagging articles for deletion, along with similar comments from several other productive editors in good standing. That didn't just happen by chance. Please, take a minute and listen to what people are trying to tell you. -[[User:Hit bull, win steak|Hit bull, win steak]]<sup>[[User talk:Hit bull, win steak|(Moo!)]]</sup> 05:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

::Some of 'em probably should be deleted; I know that I looked at a few and agreed with you. I just want to see whether we can cut down on the rate of false positives. BTW, if I was kind of sharp with you yesterday, I'm sorry.

== Linking to categories ==

If you want to link to categories (or imgages, too) without adding them to the page in question, just add a colon inside the first set of brackets, right before the file name. For [[:Category:Ancient Roman diplomats]], for example, you'd type <nowiki>[[:Category:Ancient Roman diplomats]]</nowiki>. It took me at least six months to figure out how to do that (d'oh!), so I figured you might appreciate the tip. -[[User:Hit bull, win steak|Hit bull, win steak]]<sup>[[User talk:Hit bull, win steak|(Moo!)]]</sup> 05:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

== The Gathering (film) ==

I see that you deleted the new Themes section in this article and the reason you gave was a little flip.  I have reviewed your activity here on Wikiepdia and I see that you are an ardent deletionist.  I have respect for that point of view in most areas of history and fact . However,  I feel that it can sometimes be misguided and harmful in the long view when it comes to fleshing out articles on subjects that touch on Folklore and that's where I was heading with the themes section.  My interest in the article is as a Folklorist and I would be happy to do the necessary research to make inclusion of a section a section appropriate.  The film itself was pretty average but everyone I've spoken to that has seen it is intrigued by the idea of the group and asks me (because of my background) if there really is a legend about witnesses to the Passion.  I feel a themes section would be in order.

If you would permit the section to stay in for a week, I would be happy to build it up with numerous inline cites specific to each theme mentioned.  As the section was when you deleted it, it linked to very long and detailed articles on Wikipedia with huge reference sections of their own.  I did not see an immediate need to duplicate those references in a film article assuming (silly me) than interested readers would click on the wikilinks to the other articles where any and all questions could and would be answered.  You also deleted the comparison to the Bradbury story with the rationale that the cited link didn't mention the Gathering.  Well.. it didn't have to because it was supporting the contention that Bradbury's story ''The Crowd'' was remarkably similar, which it is.  The cite described both the Bradbury story and its orgins giving the primary sources for those quotes.  If every citation made in an article about a film has to mention  the film, we'd have no film articles at all.  Please consider letting me add that section back in and leaving it in long enough for a reasonably busy editor to cite all the asserttions and comparisons properly.  I'll work on using the primary citations on the page I originally listed as my cite since that would be the proper way to do it. 

Of course, now that I'm writing you, I can see better why you chopped that section out as it was! Let me ask you this, could you give me a little time to work the section from where I began or would you prefer that I sandbox it and then represent it to you for your review?  Sometimes leaving a section like that in an article draws other interested editors but I would understand if you would prefer me to sandbox it. If you have any suggestions as to what you'd like to see included in such a section or elsewhere in the article, I'm all ears.  Few people seem to care about this article and I'd much rather be your ally in improving it!   I feel the plot synopsis is overlong myself.  Reply when you can. Thank you.[[User:Lisapollison|LiPollis]] ([[User talk:Lisapollison|talk]]) 01:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

:Unfortunately there isn't much room in an edit summary to give all the reasons for changing something. I probably should have left you a message on why I was deleting that section, so I will try to do that justice here.

:First of all I wouldn't categorize myself as a deletionist, but I can understand why someone might call me that. I believe that every article should have the potential to become a [[WP:GAC|good article]]. If it does, I try to fix it up myself or tag it so someone else can do it later. If it doesn't have that potential, it gets nominated for deletion.

:I had just taken on that task with [[The Gathering (film)]], as it had been tagged as needing work since August 2006. While work had been done to the article since then, the biggest problem remaining was [[WP:OR|original research]]. The claim of a resemblance to Ray Bradbury's work was unsourced and appeared to be original research by an editor. As I could not find any sources for that claim on Google, I removed it. Re-adding that information without a source meant that I would have to restore the old tag.

:I encourage you to add the information, but only once it is properly [[WP:V|sourced]]. The point is that you can't draw your own conclusions or ideas and put them in the article, you can only put what has been already covered elsewhere. What you claim about this film may very well be true, but it needs to come from somewhere. Once you have found a source that makes the connection between The Gathering and The Crowd, add the information, together with a source so others can confirm it, and I will endorse it. And by all means, if you want help with that, feel free to post a draft in your sandbox and I will help. —[[User_talk:Bradv15|<span style="color:Orange;">BradV</span>]] 01:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
:: Now that we've communicated, I agree with you that unless I can find an outside source making those comparisons, the entire section  would just be OR.  There is something to be said for taking an issue such as this to an article's talk page before acting unilaterally. By bringing up an issue and asking for input, other editors can then help with sourcing or support your case for deletion. I'm just saying... you could avoid some of the above unpleasantness by doing a little consensus building before acting. And, If you find that an edit summary doesn't give you a enough room to explain why you are making an edit, that's usally a good indicator that such an edit should be proposed on the talk page and discussed first. I see from other users posts here that you tend to act quickly and unilaterally as an editor and from your contributions that you are either a very new editor or an editor who has quite recently changed user names. If you are new, these are issues most new editors face.  If you are not new and justing using a new name, then you already know all of this.  Thanks again.

== [[Nevsky Prospekt (story)]] ==

Hullo, hullo, 

I've seen that you 've added the 'notability' banner atop the article. Could you please explain your rationale? It would seem that Gogol is a universally-known and respected author. Additionally, such short story has been thoroughly commented worlwide, and was a staple of French [[baccalauréat]] literature exams for several years. Feel free to leave me a message! [[User:Mrbluesky|Mrbluesky]] ([[User talk:Mrbluesky|talk]]) 13:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:I did add that notability tag. For someone who is unfamiliar with Gogol's works the article does nothing to introduce them to the subject. As per the [[WP:FICTION|guidelines for fiction]], an article should include assertions of notability, complete with references and secondary sources. A plot summary should be part of the article, but it should [[WP:NOT#PLOT|not]] be the whole article. In your post to me you gave a perfect example of the type of information that should be in the article: You write that it "has been thoroughly commented [on] worldwide, and was a staple of French [[baccalauréat]] literature exams for several years." That is an assertion of notability that should be in the article. —[[User_talk:Bradv15|<span style="color:Orange;">BradV</span>]] 15:19, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

== Please explain assertions of advertising and conflict of interest on 80plus ==

Since you tagged the 80plus article as advertising and possible conflict of interest, could you please explain (preferably on the [[Talk:80plus]] talk page) what you think could use improvement.  I took a look at the history of the page, and it wasn't obvious whom the allegation of conflict of interest applies to.  It is also not immediately apparent what would make the page seem like advertising, or that it is lacking in neutral tone.  It is hard to improve the page without clear information on what could use improvement.  Thanks.  [[User:Zodon|Zodon]] ([[User talk:Zodon|talk]]) 02:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

== bio request on Rima Morrell ==

Hi - the problem I see is that the article isn't an encyclopedic article but instead a PR piece. Two or three people are quoted extensively as saying how great she is. Not only are her books listed, but the French translations of those books, which smacks of puffery. It goes on about the content of the book a little much, it seems. I just feel I am too close to the subject to be objective. I also wonder where, if at all, controversy about her work goes. I consider her work to be severely flawed but obviously other people don't. Do we put in a controversy section? Thanks for your help. [[User:Makana Chai|Makana Chai]] ([[User talk:Makana Chai|talk]]) 08:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I know you weren't. But seriously it took me 5 hours to format it properly, after 2 weeks of trying to figure out HOW to best represent the data.  I look around and see millions of WP man hours spent  denoting each and every fart of a science fiction tv show, every time someone wants to dismiss my work on biographies of people who are no longer in the pop consciousness, it makes me really really angry.

And I wasn't suggesting your work be destroyed, I was suggesting it be placed into the main article. I'm still not sure it warrants a separate article, but I'm not going to force it either. —[[User_talk:Bradv|<span style="color:Orange;">BradV</span>]] 19:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually proposing something be deleted is having it destroyed, the article is presently 24K and I am not done, and the filmography is 34k.  Do the math, embedding a table that size  just isn't done.  I DID my research, I looked at similar pages and similar situations and extracting it to a separate page IS how it is handled.

== [[Chronology (album by Bryn Haworth)]] ==

I have no problem with this one being speedily deleted, if needs be. It's only a compliation album. But could you please explain which of the other [[Bryn Haworth]] albums are likely to be tagged in the same way, before I bother creating articles for them? In fact what are the exact criteria for an album by ANY ARTIST to be notable? Thanks [[User:Martinevans123|Martinevans123]] ([[User talk:Martinevans123|talk]]) 19:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

:::: What a puzzle now give me! Like I said, this album is a compilation, so does that mean tediously and wastefully copying all the personnel credits from all the other albums from which the tracks have been taken? The same goes for producers, engineers, recording studios, etc., etc. Or would a album cover picture do? Or what else? And what about my second question? Thanks.

:::::I'm really not an expert on how to handle this. I guess you could try create all of the albums as separate articles, but you would need to show in each article how that album is notable (reviews, sales rankings, etc.). If that can't be easily done perhaps you could create a separate discography article to hold all the information on all his albums and singles. —[[User_talk:Bradv|<span style="color:Orange;">BradV</span>]] 21:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

You had [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Born_Again_Demo&diff=203566950&oldid=203564715 tagged] the article [[Born Again Demo]] for speedy deletion under [[WP:CSD#A7|criterion A7]]; however "A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on." Thus, I have removed the speedy deletion template from the article; if you feel that the article should be deleted, please use [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|PROD]] or [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|AfD]] instead.

== Speedy Deletion: Jamaluddin, Abid Hussain ==

I am sorry that despite "hangon" and additional material and references, the pages on Ustad Abid Hussain Khan and his father Jamaluddin Khan were deleted. In continuation I was about a make an entry for Abid Hussain's grandfather, Beenkar Reza Alli Khan.

I humbly submit that Indian arts are based on the principle of impersonality and true artistes practice this even today. It was only interaction with west that made fine arts noticeable and worthy of documentation. Indian music is still a mystery, even to its practitioners; only a few of whom attain the moment of enlightenment. Unless one understands development of Indian music within the Gharana system, the term "descendent of Tansen" would hold no meaning, at least not as a reason for 'notability' or lack of it. I shall be grateful, if in consultation with an editor knowledgeable about Indian Classical Music the deleted pages are reviewed and restored. Both pages refer to a reliable secondary source, Prof. [[R.C. Mehta]]'s book, [http://www.omenad.net/articles/rcmeminent.htm '''Eminent Musicians of Yester Years''']. Both the artistes, father and son represent crucial points in evolution of North Indian Classical Music.

Please encourage people to add knowledge to public domain; it has been a fundamental belief of ancient Indian teaching system that "knowledge should be given to the deserving alone" and gave birth to caste-system based on intellectual discrimination. Pupils spent life-time devoting themselves to the whims and fancies of their Guru in order to gain Guru-mantra (grains of wisdom). The merit of such beliefs are no longer recognized. In a democratic world let not its champion Wikipedia prove that indeed, knowledge must be given only to the deserving.

Hello Bradv,

I assume that you are the editor that will decide if the Super Relativity article will be allowed to exist within Wikipedia. If you should decide to keep the article I will expand it and add sources. I am somewhat reluctant to continue until I know for sure that it will not be deleted. I am busy writing the book and trying to meet those deadlines so I am dedicating effort to that until I know your decision. Please notify me by email. My email is mmfiore@tampabay.rr.com

WRT consensus...

Challengers to this article claim there is a consensus to delete articles like this.

In fact an administrator recently closed one as delete.  That {{tl|afd}} had 19 participants, 9 voicing keep opinions, and 9 voicing delete opinions.  I'd call that a "no consensus".

Policies change.  Consensus can change.  The first four articles on Guantanamo captives were challenged on [[September 23]] [[2005]].  Three survived.  The next two dozen or so Guantanamo related articles all survived their {{tl|afd}}.

In the last seven months several {{tl|afd}} related to Guantanamo have resulted in delete.  But, FWIW, over the last two and half years, far more of these articles have survived their {{tl|afd}} than have failed.

== Deletion ==

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impressin that Commanderwaffles did ''not'' request [[wiki sucks]] to be deleted nor did he blank the page. Therefore, the page didn't qualify for <nowiki>{{db-author}}</nowiki>. --[[User:Justpassin|Justpassin]] ([[User talk:Justpassin|talk]]) 19:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Bradv - I've already apologised to one new page patroller.  The bot was limited to a 100 article run as part of its approval process over at BAG.  As you will now see, the bot has reached its limit - I will come manually clear the backlog and lend a paw for a few minutes.  Once the bot is approved, it will have the bot flag, so can be excluded from NPP.  Terribly sorry about that, but there wasn't anything I could do!

Are we allowed to create pages to provide information about the history and services of a company?  I see that ebay and other companies have pages - what criteria must a business meet to warrant such an entry?

== Neeva article ==

Hi,

I uploaded an article on Danish band Neeva and it got deleted - apparently because it didn't fulfill any of the 'notability' regulations. On that note I want to draw your attention to point 11 of the 'Criteria for musicians and ensembles' - the one about rotation on a national radio station. Neeva has had many plays on Danish national station P3. Furthermore it was named 'track of the week' by one of the largest Danish tabloid papers Ekstrabladet.

Links to validate notability:

== Washing powder vs chunk of rock ==

It seems a pity not to allow for a little wry amusement from time to time.  The seeming pro-astronomy anti-home economics bias of WP (in that we allow an article on a tiny chuck of rock but not one on a washing powder used by 1000's every week) is a little weird.  What about the WP is not paper argument?  What about the WP:IAR argument, if it's against the rules.  Many find the washing powder connection amusing.  I'll put it back and ask you leave it there.

== UNO ==

Hello Bradv, I had added a link to the developer of UNO for smartphones on the UNO page and I believe you marked it as spam.  I guess I'm not sure why that is?  Concrete Software currently holds the rights to UNO for smartphones - BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Palm OS.  Concrete has made the game and handles all the distribution - all the info is listed on the Concrete site.  Was it the wording?  I thought it seemed relevent since the other platforms UNO was on were listed as well.

== Notability of [[:Shack choreographer]] ==

Hi

I tried to put a description on the trajectory of a hip hop choreographer called Shack, but has been rejected. I do not understand that I'm putting badly or if we need to attach some information.

Since I reported that the next time that it tries to be blocked and I do not want that happens, I just want to make such information correct. 

What I do?

I've removed the speedy deletion tag from the above article. While the subject might not be notable, the article does ''assert'' notability in a reasonable way. You may wish to list it at [[WP:AFD]] instead, to get a broader consensus on the article. Thanks for your time and your hard work reporting these articles - even though I'm not deleting this particular one, your efforts are very much appreciated. [[User:Kafziel|Kafziel]] <sup>[[User talk:Kafziel|Complaint Department]]</sup> 06:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

:Can I ask what specifically is considered an assertion of notability in this article? Generally I look for whether the band has toured anywhere or has released any albums or singles that achieved any level of success. Neither of those criteria seem to be satisfied here. —[[User_talk:Bradv|<span style="color:Orange;">BradV</span>]] 06:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

::Evidently, the author feels the fact that the band has received airplay on BBC makes them notable. Another user on the article's talk page feels that that's an assertion of notability. Valid or not (I'm inclined to say "not"), at any rate it's enough to keep it from being speedied. I think you'd be successful if you start an AFD; without some serious improvements, the article will almost certainly be deleted.

== About the RFC bot ==

An occasional, reoccurring glitch of the RFC bot involves it wiping out the RFC lists.

Hi Brad - thanks for the welcome. It worked. 

Re: new SolarAid article "written like an ad" and "references and sources"

== [[TR100]] ==

Hi Bradv - I noticed that you proposed [[TR100]] to be deleted due to [[WP:IINFO|indiscriminate list of information]]. I looked at the page and am not sure if TR100 fits into this category, especially when the policy page only mentioned five examples cases, all of which differs greatly from TR100. Can you explain to me (in a bit more detail) why you think TR100 is an indiscriminate list of information? Also, can you show me the previous consensus for deleting articles of this type? Thanks! --[[User:Jiuguang Wang|Jiuguang Wang]] ([[User talk:Jiuguang Wang|talk]]) 23:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

:It's also not a [[WP:NOTDIR|directory]]. The rationale is that this is a list of information that should be published elsewhere, and is not something you would find in an encylopedia. It also completely unreferenced, so it fails the [[WP:V|verifiability]] policy. If you disagree with my reasoning, please express that on the article's [[Talk:TR100|talk page]] so that others can join in the discussion. Thanks.

== Traditionalist world view (American) ==

I am a little flustered by the amount of text you have deleted or tagged as OR because you have unilaterally deemed it so. Have you read all of these sources and decided that these are my own syntheses of the materials? It's not a perfect article, and I doubt that an article on a topic like this would be met with much acceptance even if it were perfected, but the information, on the whole, is a distillation of published and reliable sources. I've let this article sit for a good while hoping that someone else would swoop in and make constructive edits by ADDING TEXT rather than taking the easy route and deleting with abandon. Sorry if this is offensive, but I'm reaching the last straw on my own faith in the "Assume good faith" policy. [[User:Youmustbelion|YouMustBeLion]] ([[User talk:Youmustbelion|talk]]) 02:06, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:The problem with the article is that it doesn't meet the policies on [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] or [[WP:V|verifiability]]. Wikipedia is not an authority on anything, nor is it the place to put our own essays ([[WP:OR|original research]]). Instead, it is a tertiary source, summarizing and referencing what other people have written on topics. What this means is that we can't synthesize (or distill as you put it) books on particular topics and reach our own conclusions - rather we need to find those conclusions drawn elsewhere in newspapers, magazines, etc. and reference them in the article. So basically, 90% of that article is your own words expressing your ideas and using sources to identify the facts behind your conclusions. This is perfect for an essay in college, or a thesis in university (I'm sure you got a good mark for what you wrote), but in its very nature it is not a proper encyclopedia article. ''[[User_talk:Bradv|<span style="color:darkorange;">BradV</span>]]'' 02:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::Okay, first, herein lies my problem with what you continue to say: on the whole the article is filled with opinions coming from PUBLISHED, VERIFIABLE SOURCES. Conclusions drawn are from these sources, which you would know if you had read them, which you clearly have not. A distillation is both the act of capturing an essence (summarizing) and the finished product (summary), not an original invention (nor synthesis). I suggest you read each and every one of these sources, in full, before you start deciding what "seems" like original research to you. Anything I have added as my own synthesis (which, by the way, is far from the 90% figure you've hyperbolized), is within your right to improve. Secondly, NPOV is an impossibility for any single editor, which is why Wikipedia is a good forum for improving the POV concerns of any given article by way of encouraging a multiplicity of voices. My understanding is that an otherwise well-written article not conforming to NPOV, in the Wikipedia world, is welcomed as an opportunity for collaborative improvement rather than the object of heavy-handed deletion. While I won't pretend to know your motivations for holding this particular article to a higher standard than that of many other articles on contemporary American politics, I find myself theorizing that your own actions are the product of a less-than-neutral point of view. Now that you can tag as original research. The article is well-sourced, well-written, and I whole-heartedly look forward to concerned, thoughtful, and informed edits.[[User:Youmustbelion|YouMustBeLion]] ([[User talk:Youmustbelion|talk]]) 00:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
:::From your own message: "Conclusions drawn are from these sources". As I said before, that is applicable in an essay or thesis, but not in an encyclopedia article. That is [[WP:OR|original research]] and/or [[WP:SYN|synthesis]]. And my only bias here is [[WP:NPOV]]. Anything that's not neutral, but is written to advance a particular point of view, offends me. ''[[User_talk:Bradv|<span style="color:darkorange;">BradV</span>]]'' 00:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry, I should have been more precise in my wording. What I mean to say is that conclusions are summarized by me, but are those of the original authors. My only intervention in their arguments is to summarize them. Additionally, I am personally offended that you would assume I am deliberately trying to advance a position, especially since this was never my intention. I have no idea what position I would be advancing, and I think that an elucidation of this point of criticism is warranted (on the discussion page of the article seems to be the place to do it, under where you have made that comment). Hopefully you will channel your offense at my apparent NPOV into constructively editing the article rather than paring it down to a stub. Remember that the result of the AfD was to not delete it, and although there was no consensus, enough people felt that the article has potential for expansion. As far as the further life of this article goes, I feel that the generalized nature of complaints like yours ("advancing a particular viewpoint," or "written in an extremely non-NPOV manner"), is not especially productive, and I'm sure everyone would appreciate explicit indications of what specific phrases, or even sections, could use improvement. Generalizing works much better as a tool for praise than for criticism. This means more work for you, but I think it's fair practice to do so, since simply deleting takes a great deal less energy than does actually creating a substantial article. In the future, since the article deals with a heady topic, please place suggested improvements on the discussion page, or at least place all deleted text into the talk page for archival purposes. In the interests of effective collaboration, please assume that what I have written is in place because I felt it was a valid contribution to Wikipedia and is representative of a new editor's highest efforts, and I will agree to assume that your primary interests are directed at the improvement of an article and not to advance your own position, whatever that may be.[[User:Youmustbelion|YouMustBeLion]] ([[User talk:Youmustbelion|talk]]) 01:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

We have continued to be deleted from Wikipedia because of our article. Dr. Allan Bonner is as notable as any other author or television host on wikipedia. He is published and is a very successful risk and crisis management specialist. Can you please explain what is going on?

Thanks,

:I disagree, it is not a resume or any form of advertising. His page allows people to learn the importance of risk and crisis management in a communications capacity. Communications is a rapidly growing field and it is important that people learn about the growth of the field and the people contributing to it. Is there a number I can call or another avenue to explore. There are other people such as journalists, artists and authors who have pages. Why are we getting kicked off. I have followed all the same guidelines which they have. I would like the speedy deletion removed.

== Clear Span Structures -- Please advise ==

That is not my intent at all.  I was inserting an article on clear span structures and stated a fact in the history section about how Mahaffey introduced the clear span to North America in 1980.  That is a blatant fact, and is in no way advertising.  Also, if you look at Rubb, that is clear advertising, so why is there no dispute there.  I simply tried to do that for Mahaffey (with no advertising... simply facts about the company, just like Rubb), and it was deleted.  I am very confused here.  There was only one line about Mahaffey in the clear span structures entry, and that line was a fact.  Please advise, as I feel this is unfair treatment.  I am in no way trying to go or rebel against the Wikipedia guidelines.  I am simply trying to educate viewers, just as everyone else is.  Again, please advise.  Thank you for your time.

== Comments on Sneaky Sunday Page ==

Bradv, I am looking to refine the content for the Sneaky Sunday page so it fits the standards that wikipedia outlines, but include informative historical information about the company, the service it offers, and a few of its people. When rewriting the latest content, I looked at similar company pages, and felt that because I used quotes from the press Sneaky Sunday has received and referencing it so that it was reputable instead of useless propaganda or banter. I looked at metromix and citysearch's pages and felt that Sneaky Sundays was more complete, well rounded and informative, but if you could help me edit it, instead of just flagging it, i would appreciate it.  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bryanhenn|Bryanhenn]] ([[User talk:Bryanhenn|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bryanhenn|contribs]]) 18:54, 23 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I would like a full explanation of why an article I wrote for a company was maliciously deleted.  At no time was I given a notification by email of this pending action.  I logged in today to find the ruthless deletion message from Bradv.  If there was a problem you should have notified me by email.  I do not spend my life looking at Wikipedia day in and day out like some here.  I have a life outside of Wikipedia.

According to the logs, the article [[TNTRide]] was deleted as it failed the inclusion guidelines for [[WP:CORP|companies and organizations]]. Judging by your comments I suspect it may also have violated the [[WP:SPAM|no advertising]] and the [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] policies.

That's fine.  The article was written following the strict guidelines.  It was no different from any other corporations wikipedia page.   There was no advertising going on and it was edited and compared to several other corporate wikipedia pages before it was saved for submission.  As you can tell I'm severely agitated.  I apologize for out right blaming you, however your name was associated with the deletion message.

Now how can I rewrite this companies article so that it meets complete wikipedia requirements?  Can you offer some assistance?

:The article you posted was clearly advertising for the website. Using Wikipedia for advertising or promotion is against [[WP:SPAM|policy]]. Also, the subject of the article appears to not be [[WP:N|notable]] enough for an article, so even a well-written article will not be kept. Sorry.

== Page deletion ==

Hi Bradv,
I've had the Taryn Rose International page I created immediately deleted for blatant advertising and would like further explanation.  I've read the guidelines and spent quite a bit of time reading other entries that were accepted to get a good idea of what is acceptable.  What I created is in line with other brands, like Cole Haan, True Religion, Baby Phat, etc., so I'm wondering exactly what factual information in my page is blatant advertising that isn't in the aforementioned pages.

Regards,

Tifani Vernon[[User:TifaniV|TifaniV]] ([[User talk:TifaniV|talk]]) 20:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

:Well for one, the page was entitled "Adding content", not the name of the actual company. I can't see the deleted information, so I can't really answer the rest of your questions.

Hello Bradv

I'm the person who put the article about Glocals.com on line. You put two tags on it: "this article is written like an advertisement" and "this article requires clean-up".

I'd be happy to make the necessary changes. Still, I need more specific info. I tried to be as factual and descriptive as possible, citing references in the mainstream media, so could you tell me exactly which passages are to be changed?

Thanks you for your help  <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Vonvalmont|Vonvalmont]] ([[User talk:Vonvalmont|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Vonvalmont|contribs]]) 15:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:The article is pretty good, but there are few grammar and formatting errors which the cleanup tag will draw people's attention to. Regarding the advertising tag: it still reads a bit like an ad and will need some more neutral, balanced coverage. It's also going to need a few more references in publications that we can actually find. Mentions on television programs aren't really good references as we can't look them up.

== deletion of article on Werner Karl Dahm ==

My article on Werner Karl Dahm was deleted due to "blatant copyright violation" because the same article was found on the aerospaceguide website. The article published on Wikipedia was created by us, the Dahm family as an obituary for our father. The article on the http://www.aerospaceguide.net/spacehistory/wernerdahm.html website is in fact OUR article that was printed by them (as well aas several other websites, journals and newspapers) with our permission. In fact, at the bottom of the aerspaceguide.org website article, it specifically states "Information and photo emailed by Werner J.A. Dahm on 22 January, 2008". Therefore, this is NOT a copyright violation. Please re-instate the article.

How many more citations do you want?  It is a very short article and contains nothing which is not in the references, which are reputable.

I can send you PDF files of the original news stories as they appeared in the Los Angeles Times.

The book I referenced, the biography of LA Times publisher Otis Chandler, went into great detail about the importance and significance of the Eulia Love case.   Also, if you didn't live in Los Angeles when the case happened, and in the years that followed, you really can't speak with authority about the authenticity of my documentation on the Eulia Love case.

== Why is "shaking up shakespeare" up for speedy deletion? ==

I am Tobyphoby and I created the "Shaking Up Shakespeare" page. Anthony Glenn and "Shaking Up Shakespeare" is a well recognised drama company across the UK, especially Greater London.

Dear Brad

I am the author of the article about former Mississippi State Representative Robert Clark.  You had concerns that there was a possible conflict of interest.  I must admit that it may be suspicious do to the fact that his last name is Clark and my user ID is bwclark please be assured that i am not a relative of Mr. Clark. As a teenager I must admit I was fascinated  because we share the same last name.  I have only met him once, when gave the commencement address at my college graduation over 15 years ago.  I have read many books about Rep. Clark and all of the contents in the article is supported by the three books I referenced.   Rep. Clark have made many accomplishments and a article about him will make Wikipedia a more valuable resource.  Thank you for your attention and concern.

== Agrium ==

Is there a reason you removed all reference to Agrium's highly controversial fertilizer plant on the Mediterranean?  It is a well documented fact that Egypt's Parliament voted to prevent continuation of the project due to environmental concerns. This is a major piece of information that should not be omitted unless the goal of the wikipedia article is to sell Agrium stocks.

== Eulia Love redux ==

Hi, I'm hoping you can shed some light on what transpired with the [[Eulia Love]] article. I was simultaneously thrilled to discover that somebody had created it, and crestfallen to learn that it has already been deleted. The deletion log says only that an author requested deletion. It was far and away the most notorious police shooting in Los Angeles history, and unquestionably needs an article on Wikipedia. Please reply at my talk page -- and thanks! [[User:Cgingold|Cgingold]] ([[User talk:Cgingold|talk]]) 02:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

:The editor who deleted the page is [[User talk:NawlinWiki|NawlinWiki]]. You can either talk to that admin directly, go to [[WP:DELREV|deletion review]], or recreate the page yourself. ''[[User_talk:Bradv|<span style="color:darkorange;">BradV</span>]]'' 15:05, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Bradv,

Thanks for the heads up on audiotube, we will move it over to mainspace and start working on cleaning it up a bit more as you suggested.

You've linked to [[WP:RESUME]] in an AFD.

== Love Systems ==

Hi Bradv,

I saw your comment on the old deletion thread of "Love Systems" and you were considering getting the page back up if the sources were notable. After approval of several members of the Wikipedia seduction editors, the page went live. However, it just got deleted again even though the sources and content is Wikipedial compliant. Could you have a look at it and get the page back up? Thanks in advance. [[User:Coaster7|Coaster7]] ([[User talk:Coaster7|talk]]) 19:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
== [[Shinpen Kamakurashi]] ==

I saw the Cleanup template you put on the article Shinpen Kamakurashi. I, being the author, would cleanup the article myself if I knew exactly what it is that you want, since the article looks fine to me as it is. May I ask what it is you don't like? Also, since the article is six lines long, wouldn't it have been quicker to clean it up yourself?
[[User:Urashimataro|urashimataro]] ([[User talk:Urashimataro|talk]]) 23:42, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

:Hmm, I think you're right. The page needs some work in order to cover the topic in an encyclopedic manner, possibly an image or two, some more references, and definitely some information about the importance and significance of the work. That makes it a stub, not an article in need of cleanup. I've made the appropriate changes. Cheers. [[User_talk:Bradv|<span style="color:darkorange;">BradV</span>]] 04:12, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
