:Hmm, it seems I also denied your [[WP:CSD]] request of this article. Sure, it would be nice if everyone drafted their articles before posting them to mainspace but it is '''not''' required. They clearly tagged it as under construction, you are obligated to [[WP:AGF|assume their good faith]] in doing so.

Sacred Band of Stepsons
Marcus, I received this very disturbing email from Orangemike. He clearly wants to delete this project and has tagged it repeatedly. Is there a higher authority to whom one can appeal, or a different, neutral editor or panel to adjudicate tbis? How do I defend the project?
Below is Harmonia's response to the email that Orangemike sent to Harmonia1's email -- not talk page. The response was posted by Harmonia1 to the Harmonia1 talk page. Please give me your opinion of where I stand and what, if any, options are available to me.
Thanks & Questions
Hi, Marcus.
Thank you for your assistance moving my page C.A.Walker Research Solutions. I have questions:
1) I read this stuff about Closing Instructions and frankly, it's confusing. Do I need to add this to my discussions page? "This article has been renamed per the above move request"
2) When I was building the page in my sandbox, I tried to upload the company logo CAWLogo.jpg and it was deleted by a bot. Now that the page is moved can I re-upload it, or ask the bot to put it back, or what? I'm pretty confused how to handle adding a logo with permission by the company owner.
3) Now that the page is moved I can delete it from my sandbox right?
Thank you! RebekahRpaul9578 (talk) 19:06, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Your welcome. Am proceeding to do numbers 2 and 3. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 19:08, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Done, don't worry about #1. That's for administrators to use and has been taken care of. Mind copy editing your article for a neutral point of view?Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 19:17, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
- It might take a week or two for the image to get undeleted because of the backlog. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 19:18, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Marcus, I spent considerable time editing the article to submit what I thought was a 'neutral point of view.' Nearly every sentence is cited with articles that we did not publish. I'm really not sure what is being asked of me to do in order to make 'neutral'? Rpaul9578 (talk) 20:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
page protection-world war III
dear admin,thank you for protecting the aforementioned page.please take a look at my/our argument against editor xihr;i have logically refuted his arguments while he-as you can see in his later comments/edits-simply kept on repeating himself without addressing/trying to refute my points.i agree with editor Thinking of England on adding the "in 1989" note for full disclosure but xihr apparently refused our efforts altogether.please let us know of your opinion on all that,at least for me,it would matter.thanks againGrandia01 (talk)

Redirect of Gary Brooks Faulkner
Why did you redirect it? There is no info in Osama bin Laden covering Gary Brooks Faulkner. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samorat (talk • contribs) 16:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Names of Ho Chi Minh City
ah whoops - does Names of Ho Chi Minh City have to be created via a merge? Sorry, it's the first time I've created an article that I've worked on in my own user space. --dragfyre_ʞןɐʇc 17:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- No problem. An admin will fix this soon. In the meantime all edits should be made to the userspace version. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 17:20, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, you've now twice added the {{close paraphrase}} tag to this article, without taking this to the article Talk page as you are supposed to do. Can you identify a specific sentence or section that you believe is in breach of copyright in this article (at the Article Talk page, which is where you should have discussed this)? As far as I can tell, nothing in this article has copied specific phrases. --HighKing (talk) 18:26, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Ta. Was there any others that you feel might fall foul of paraphrasing? --HighKing (talk) 19:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
- Naa. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 19:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Someone posted on requested medical articles [1] a while back. I added this page based on an Uptodate article. This is usually sufficient for notability but I agree it is borderline.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:05, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Markus: I am a relatively new editor and was transferring this article from my user subpage to the article space. I inadvertently posted it to a talk page...and then cut and pasted it to article space - instead of the move button. This apparently created some problems which tagged the article. I will ask an admin to review the situation so that the entire article history moves to the newly posted article. Is that OK. Sorry again. Enviromet (talk) 18:09, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- No prob.Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 18:12, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
cassandra clare article
hey there! i was in the process of extensively editing the page when you made your contributions. If you'd like, double check to make sure I didn't miss anything new you added! Infoaddict1 (talk) 19:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Are you sure that Dallas Elementary School is part of the Paulding County School District? Neither article mentions the other. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 19:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- I went to their site which had a link to their district. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 19:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- OK, cool, thanks. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 19:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
File source and copyright licensing problem with File:XLERATOR 800 x 800.jpg
I will update the image with its source. It is from www.exceldryer.com. The company wants its images to be open to use in public places like Wikipedia. If the company wanted to email Wikipedia to approve this particular use of the image, whom would they email? Thanks for your comments on the image, I'd like it to stay up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helvetica13 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
LGV / TGV articles
LGV is the better/official french name for 'TGV track'. I was in the process of moving the TGV track construction article to a new article LGV construction (rail) when the bot and you got involved. Can we please do it my way?
- Why didn't you use the Move tab? Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 18:26, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Call me old fashioned, but I had no idea there was a Move tab. I love the idea. But of course now the Move tab doesn't work (I just tried) because the LGV construction (rail) article exists :-( KevinCuddeback (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Requesting an admin. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 18:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- What sort of help will the admin be? (or what sort of help was requested)
- I requested the move at requested moves as uncontroversial [2] but Anthony Appleyard took it to discussion. You can comment on the requested move on the talk page. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 23:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Is the move tab new? Certainly, hiding it under a "down arrow" in my UI has kept it out of view.
- Sorry about not signing. KevinCuddeback (talk) 18:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Its been here at least since December 2008 or when I joined the project. Maybe it was only used by admins until recently? The Move tab was more accessible before we switched to vector skin. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 18:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

help again
Mr. Qwertyus, sorry to disturb you but could you help me With a picture on my infobox, Just so you know it would Be the F-22 Raptor. -Commanderneyo77 (talk) 18:59, 19 June 2010 (UTC) Done Before you even asked! Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 19:00, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Im sorry again, looks like my brother deleted the F-22. I dont know how to get it back up. The F-16 would be better anyway. I am very very sorry about this. Im changing my password so he cant get through. Commanderneyo77 (talk) 23:50, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
May I ask why you flagged an under construction article CSD C1 while I was actively editing it?Koman90 (talk), Network+ 20:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
{{Uw-draftfirst}}. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 20:59, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

UAA report/made up deadline
I'm not sure where you think you got the authority to issue an ultimatum to User:Jansport87 about their username. Usually if a name is not so blatantly outside of policy as to warrant an immediate block we move the report to the holding pen where it can sit for up to a week, substantially longer than the 36 hour deadline you decreed. In this case I don't even think the name is blockable at all and have advised Jansport87 to ignore both your deadline and your request that they change their name. If the name isn't causing an actual problem then nothing is solved by blocking the user, and the potential of losing a good contributor over a non-issue like this far outweighs the risks of letting them edit with this username as they have been doing without trouble for several months now.
