Crocodillin
I understand why you buried this, but I have dug it up again and put it in Wikipedia:Article Incubator/Crocodillin, because I think with the help offered by Dr Britton (see User talk:JohnCD#Crocodillin) there probably is an article to be made here, though it will not be called "Crocodillin". I have also protected the title, as a precaution. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Deleted Plot Builder?
I noticed you deleted my contribution of Plot Builder today with a comment that it was "overly promotional". I specifically designed this page to be historical and informational in nature, and not promotional. I even emulated a long standing article for Final Draft since it was a similar product. Please help me understand what I can edit in order to make this page within the standards you are reviewing for. Thanks. -FalconDEW — Preceding unsigned comment added by FalconDEW (talk • contribs) 23:31, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
FYI
Thought you might want to know you're being discussed at Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron#Researching deletions and pending deletions. SnottyWong talk 00:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Here is the response I posted over at the ARS, but as you probably don't generally hang around there I thought I should post it here too:
- I'm sorry if what I said was rude, I was purely curious about the sheer number and the odd edit summaries. In retrospect, my comment regarding your talk page reads meaner than I meant it - I simply meant that if people looked at your talk page they could see that you had been asked questions on this topic a lot before and answered them. I'm assuming the not notable yets were speedy deletes. To clarify, I wasn't trying to suggest you were some sort of one man deletionist conspiracy :-)
Regards, - ManicSpider (talk) 01:00, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
- Also, your explanation for the Users Own Good one made me laugh. I'm glad to know there's someone out there undoing our teenage-selves attempts to humiliate us for life! - ManicSpider (talk) 01:05, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Need Help Including Images
For the Showmen's Trade Review article I have six images, all in my possession, no copyright issues. Need direction to place them in the article. I refined the article today with several edits. After the images are placed, I think the article is complete. Can I sign it and give my email address? Thanks, Sunnyprime (talk) 01:31, 30 January 2011 (UTC)sunnyprime
- To upload images, see WP:IMAGE. You should know that in order to put images on Wikipedia pages, you have to publish them under a free license. This basically means that you will allow anyone to use your images, or derivative works of the images, for any purpose, including commercial works, as long as they credit you as the author. You should be aware that if you do so, the license is not revokable.
- As to how to put an image into the article once you have uploaded it, you can do that with this code as a template: [[File:Example.png|thumb|right|200px|This is an awesome example caption. Pretty [[ponies]] are at that link :D]]. This code (placed at the start of this section) produces the image to the right. You can modify the placing of the image (left/right/center), the sizing (200px = 200 pixels wide), and the caption to whatever you want. WP:IMAGE has more examples of how to add pictures to articles.
- Articles generally don't have any contact information placed on them, and I would not recommend signing it or putting your email address on it. This would likely be interpreted as an attempt at advertising, and could lead to the page being deleted. J.delanoygabsadds 01:55, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
icebxx deletion
why is that not a valid user name
i drive scion xb and it looks like an ice box but icebxx is always available as a user name LOL
i'm trying to get involve as a contributor, i have an attorney writing different things who is an expert and i'm not sure how to get it to not be deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by ICEBXX (talk • contribs) 20:47, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hey there. It doesn't look like the username is a problem, but more the article you tried to create about structured settlement attorneys. The first problem is that we require all information to be verifiable and sourced to reliable sources; this doesn't appear to be the case here - indeed, the attempted article has no references at all. The second problem is the inclusion of the information about Nizinski and Ahtirski. The way you have phrased it (and the way you've picked them out particularly) makes it look as if this article is an attempted advertisement, which is strictly prohibited. Both of those issues need to be fixed before it's an appropriate post here, and I'm perfectly happy to assist in any way I can.
- A greater issue is that you say you have "an attorney writing different things". Bear in mind that content on Wikipedia has to be released under a free content license; if you are not the one writing it, you do not necessarily have the legal authority to release it. If you want to drop a note at the bottom of my talkpage (remember to sign it with four tildes, like so ~~~~ I'm happy (as a law student, and as an editor) to help out. Yours, Ironholds (talk) 21:09, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
Re: Note
I've cleaned everything out of all my subpages with the exception of userboxes and replaced with the speedy deletion box.
Profuse apologies for the misunderstanding.

- I can honestly say I've never heard of it. RedSoxFan274 (talk) 05:30, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, so one can download a version of that and then use the Wiki markup outside of Wikipedia, do I have that right? RedSoxFan274 (talk) 05:43, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Herzberg
Thanks for the move, I guess. I was actually planning to wait until I had improved the article a little bit with some secondary sources, in the hopes of a DYK and possibly a featured list. There's nothing to be done about it now, I suppose, but if you plan to move anything else I might have in userspace in the future, I would appreciate a heads up.

Just wondering, what was the reason for this? "Trim" isn't a very good explanation. Blake (Talk·Edits) 15:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- I was using them as a source for notable flash games. I think I might have drained all I could from them though, so I will let them stay removed. Blake (Talk·Edits) 15:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
The Mental Roots of Sexual Orientation and Sexual Arousal
RE: 14:14, 31 January 2011 DragonflySixtyseven (talk | contribs) deleted "The mental roots of sexual orientation and sexual arousal" (I'm sorry, this just isn't an article. It's an essay.)
Hello Dragonfly
I would like to change my contribution from an essay to an article, but I don't know where to start. Could you please point to some parts of the deleted text, because of which it is considered an essay, and indicate how they should be modofied in order to become an article?

The Florin Street Band
Hi there, I'm just wondering why you deleted this article which I spent ages writing? The only explanation was (apparent copyvio) But there were no copyright violations because I was closely involved with the project and sought permission? What will happen now is that members of the public will write random, misinformed articles about The Florin Street Band - how can that be good for Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreamingprincess (talk • contribs) 22:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Dreamingprincess! Talk page stalker here... Basically, even if you sought out permission for the material, if you didn't write it independently then it's still going to be a copyright violation. Wikipedia is an open source encyclopedia, so in order for content to be allowed here, it must first be released into the public domain- you merely saying you recieved permission is not sufficient to release the material. Our legal team would need to get written notice from the copyright holder that the material was getting released into the public domain.
- To be honest, as an admin looking at your article, even if it wasn't a copyright violation it would still have been deleted as a promotional article. Take a look at other articles on Wikipedia and then look at yours- surely you can see that the tone used in this article was inappropriate for an encyclopedia article? Think about whether an article like this would be put in a print encyclopedia like Encyclopedia Brittanica... it wouldn't- it reads like an advertisement. Keep in mind that it's not our job to make anyone look good or protect subjects from "random, misinformed articles", nor is it your job as someone clearly affliated with the band to create an article about it.
- I urge you to read our guidelines for inclusion, specifically our notability guidelines for musicians, and also take a look at our instructions on how to make citations and find reliable secondary sources. This by no means indicates that there can never be an article about The Florin Street Band, it only means that you probably shouldn't be the one to write it. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to ask me or DragonflySixtySeven by replying here. l'aquatique[talk] 02:05, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Deleted Clash: Rise of Heroes
Hello,
One of our users created a Wiki on our game and for some reason it was deleted. We have over 200,000 users playing our game and if you google our game, you'll find over 28,000 websites with articles about us. Can you tell me why our entry was deleted. You state the reason was "notability not asserted", but being new to Wikipedia I'm not completely sure what that means.
Thanks for the clarification! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Talonxz (talk • contribs) 07:05, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Jnorthdur: Emilio Ghione
Thanks for your kind comments about my Emilio Ghione article. I am a Phd student in Italian visual studies at Durham University and my speciality is Italian silent cinema. Over the next year or so, I hope to improve the articles about Lyda Borelli and Francesca Bertini. Then, I shall move onto some less well-known actors, directors, films and film companies, which should be useful for the students that I will be teaching next year. Kind Regards, Jnorthdur (talk) 19:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey there...
You've seemed to have deleted User:RomeEonBmbo/Sandbox4 because of an "innopropriate use of userbox space." Is there any way I can have either the page or the source code back? Thanks. RomeEonBmbo (talk) 22:18, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I was just wondering if there was any way I could see a copy of this article you deleted so if he wins the election I can recreate the article for him, without having to completly start over.

Move of SHEBA
Hi Dragonfly. Thank you for your interest in Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA). I'm surprised that you moved it without discussion to Surface heat budget of the Arctic ocean. Note that, in doing so, you failed to capitalize "Ocean." Actually, since the article is about the project titled, Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean, not the concept, surface heat budget of the Arctic Ocean, all the words should be capitalized. I'm not ncecessarily against the move, but I would like to see it discussed, first, especially since the project was more widely known as "SHEBA." Sincerely, User:HopsonRoad 15:46, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
