Why do you keep adding the self published plate and questionable sources plate? The article is NOT self published, and I'm not sure why official institutional links and books are questionable sources. ReformedArsenal (talk) 23:27, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Frances Kornbluth
I saw your post to this article. Thank you for your input. Could you give me specific examples of how I can improve this? I would very much appreciate it.

Philipp Jordan
Hi I saw that you have reviewed my first wikipedia page. I added more references (not blogs, but german newspaper) and de-orphaned the page. Am I allowed to remove the notifications now? Or how should I proceed now? Thanks again for your help. My page is : Philipp Jordan. I created the page because I became aware that the artist was seen on the reddit front page. Furthermore I emailed Philipp Jordan, if he has a license free picture of himself for wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carstenpohl (talk • contribs) 11:12, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Help`
On the wikipedia sister site Wikiquote I was working on an article when I was autoblocked. They said that I had been sockpuppeting. I admit that I did in the past but I was innocent this time how can I tell them this if I am blocked from editing? TheyCallMeFirstKlass 16:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deezy.D. (talk • contribs)
- So it sounds like your original account was blocked over there? If that's true, then any editing you do over there is probably a violation of a block or ban. I'm guessing that Wikiquote's blocks are at least roughly similar to Wikipedia's blocks. Go look at your original account on Wikiquote, the account that got blocked first. Look at your talk page and find the spot where your block was posted. The block itself should have instructions on how to request an unblock. I don't know your history, so I don't know if they will unblock. I do know that it's best if your request to be unblocked admits exactly what you did wrong.

Dark Signs?
Why Did you delete the Darksigns page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 18:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I never did - but if it was anything like the current version, which only consists of the words "Dark Signs is a best discribed as a" and nothing else, then it deserved to be deleted. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

- I'm still working on the page don't delete it anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 17:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know how much clearer I can be - I'm not deleting anything. I'm simply tagging the article as a candidate for deletion, since at the time I tagged it, it was nothing more than an infobox, with no claims or signs of notability, and no references. If anything, this should be a watning flag to you to either accept that the subject doesn't pass muster to have an article and you need to stop recreating it, or that you need to wait until you have the references necessary before recreating.

Still multiple issues?
Hi Mike,
Does my page still have multiple issues? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roschier_Attorneys_Ltd.
If not, I was told the message must be removed manually.
--ChristineShaw (talk) 10:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- I see why you are asking here since it was MikeWazowski who twice tagged the article as having issues. I think you'll have better luck getting a response from him if we fix the weird technical glitch that got into your link. The article is at: Roschier_Attorneys_Ltd.. Mike, could you please check the article to see if you still think it is ad-like and promotional, and has sourcing issues? Cloveapple (talk) 19:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Speed deletion request removal
Hi. I just thought I'd let you know out of courtesy that I removed your speedy deletion request from the article DirectFix. I don't think it is unambiguous advertising. The article has 4 independent references. I think the article fails WP:NOTE, but as the author points out in the talk there are similar article on Wikipedia about iFixit and iResQ. If these are acceptable then I don't think it would be consistent to nominate DirectFix for speedy deletion. This is just my opinion; please feel free to request speedy deletion again if you wish. NereusAJ (T | C) 00:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- Considering that the user who created the article is named DirectFix, it seems unambiguously promotional to me. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:18, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Please note that i'm Paul Albert affiliated with http://www.inlife-ag.com/, located in switzerland, not the german "Inlife - Dirk Oschmann". Therefore i understand that my Username was probably chosen poorly, but i'm not in any way affiliated or in business with "Inlife - Dirk Oschmann" or Homepage.eu.

The Flintstones (2013) deletion
On my article, The Flintstones (2013 TV series) it says it will be deleted - why? Can you remove the deletion or let me know ways to make the article not get deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TBrandley (talk • contribs)
- No, I will not remove the speedy notice. The article was originally deleted per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Flintstones (Fox Television series). Since your version is not substantially different from prior versions that were deleted (including one you did back in December), the CSD G4 tag is appropriate.

Change to Babylon 5 article
I noticed you prefer a season 4 poster of Babylon 5 being used instead of a screenshot of it’s intertitle logo. As the use of a screenshot of an easily identifiable element of the television show (taken from the opening credits) appears to be more appropriate in the infobox television template, and is what is used in all the wiki articles I’ve found on similar television shows, can you provide some rational for removing the B5 logo and replacing it with the poster. I’ve undid your change for the moment, as a poster could possibly be better placed in something like the article on the Babylon franchise!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minsk59 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- I just feel it better represents the series - it shows not only the logo, but the entire major cast. Kills two birds with one stone. Not only that, but as an image created by WB specifically for promotional purposes, I feel its better suited for a non-free use rationale than a screenshot, which was never licensed for such use.

- I didn't delete anything - just flagged it for deletion. Apparently it's been deleted twice in as many days, nominated by editors other than myself. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Mike, while my initial edits were somewhat unnecessary, the point I was trying to make remains the same. That is, neutrality isnt strengthened by omission or mischaracterization. What any responsible person would consider news, PJ media is not. Fox news presents the news; CNN presents the news; PJ Media is little more than bloggers expressing extremely biased, usually unsourced, opinions. These opinions are so highly distorted it's not fair to credit PJ media as "presenting the news." News is expected to have some truth value in it. The goal of a news organization is not to allow bias to affect that presentation but PJ media has been thoroughly compromised. I invite you to explore their website to see for yourself. I'm of the mind that Wikipedia is a force for truth--or at least balance--in a world where there is so much distortion and omission. The United States government can now indefinitely detain it's citizens and is debating SOPA as we speak. Consider the facts omitted and the distortion involved to get things like this passed with such little resistance. Point being, outfits like PJ media serve no purpose other than to cajole and rouse their masses of followers. PJ media represents everything wrong in journalism-- blatant lies told over and over as fact. They are within their rights to do this of course but I believe it is irresponsible for a site such as Wikipedia to call this "news." The fact that your page omits how pervasive the lying and distortion is on the website is a disservice to neutrality. Being neutral means presenting all of the facts and presenting them in an unbiased (as possible) way. I feel you should change the part about PJ media presenting the news and choose something more accurate. While my complaint may seem insignificant, I don't think Wikipedia should be abetting websites that use the tactics of PJ media by legitimizing them by saying [they] present the news. While PJ media may only be a small website with a limited readership, I don't think Wikipedia's philosophy is to mischaracterize parties that act in ways Wikipedia specifically strives not to. Saying PJ media presents the news is in fact a gross mischaracterization. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Publicgroup87 (talk • contribs) 12:48, 16 January 2012 (UTC) Publicgroup87 (talk) 12:54, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- just had an idea. I think if you have time to check out PJ media you would not see anything wrong with the following suggestion: instead of saying pj media presents and comments on the news say PJ media presents and discusses conservative opinions.

Question about Star Wars
When I redid my edit, I did not change the quote. But why are you calling the other edits as "inaccurate"? PRProgRock (talk) 16:24, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Your changes made such inaccuracies as saying that Anakin's name was Darth Vader as a young slave - this is wrong. You claim that "Darth Sidious" corrupted him - however, as this is discussing plot points added in 1980, this is inaccurate, as the name was not invented until the late 1990s. The first prequel was originally called Episode I: The Beginning - your change of that to The Phantom Menace in that instance is also incorrect, as are your further name changes - they are all contextually incorrect in the forms you have changed. Do not make these changes again. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:32, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- I understand what you are saying, but for one thing, Darth Sidious and Emperor Palpatine are supposed to be the same character. Darth Tyranus and Count Dooku are also supposed to be the same character. And last, but not least, Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are also supposed to be the same character. PRProgRock (talk) 17:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- But you have to understand context - if the article is discussing these characters in historical context, your introduction of names introduced 15-20 years later is incorrect - and will be reverted. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Football Ramble - Dean Windass Hall of Fame
What is the reason for continuing to delete the hall of fame section? It is referenced and is entirely related and notable when having a discussion on the podcast ---User:Murrayszymanski —Preceding undated comment added 12:51, 19 January 2012 (UTC).
- Wikipedia does not exist to be a repository or backup for the podcast's activities. There is no sign of notability for this "hall of fame" outside the podcast, and it is only referenced to the podcast website itself, which is hardly independent sourcing. There is a section about the hall of fame in the article, and that has never been deleted. However, there is no place for the entire list on Wikipedia - that is what the podcast's website is for.

explanation politely requested
Hi Mike,
Can you please provide justification of this edit? [1]
It would have been possible to have done this, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. I think it's a fairly common courtesy to me, as a fellow editor, that you do this. In particular, can you explain, why somebody would be listed by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Who's Who. Did you do any research yourself? Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've generally found most Who's Who to be questionable sources, as they generally require some form of payment to be listed. I cannot speak to the Oxford volume, nor can I read it at present, but based on one line (she was a British psychologist), that's hardly enough to demonstrate notability - hence the tag. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- Mike, Thanks for your reply. Who's Who does not require payment to be included but is compiled professionally. Oxford DNB is a biographical encyclopedia also compiled professionally (as per the articles on both). They both select their members based on merit alone. She's also the subject of a book by an academic (the same has written some papers on her too). I agree the article is short, and I have not read the book but if I put down some facts like she was the first woman to be awarded a PhD in psychology in Britain, the first female professor of psychology in Britain, is that not good enough?

Hi Mike
Hi Mike
Im new to wikipedia. I am the copyright owner to the new Monkey King Trilogy. I updated the info on your site in which seems to be rejected. Not sure why. What do I have to do to verify my legitimacy . Since your site is so highly looked at if the info isnt correct it can cause us hardship in publicity and or our releases. What do I have to do?

Speedy deletion declined: David's Lyre
Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of David's Lyre, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article has a source from a major news source. It passes A7. Thank you. Guerillero | My Talk 01:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Mike, I am a volunteer with www.bigheavyworld.com, Vermont music archive. I am trying to get notable vermont artists whom are encyclopedia worthy onto Wikipedia. With regards to the My Revenge (band) page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Revenge_(band) I apologize for taking down the maintenance templates - I honestly thought I had addressed the issues and they could be removed. I did heed what your edits/comments were, and made an earnest effort to do so. I would like to work together with you on this so that this page does not get deleted. This was the first punk band from Vermont to tour internationally and they have a string of professionally-released albums. www.thorprecords.com Additionally, they are found on www.allmusic.com; See: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/my-revenge-p657423 They are much more than just a local band. What can I do, as the articles' author, to improve this and not only get the article to stay, but also remove the maintenance templates so that it is sound? Please accept my apologies for removing them prematurely. Thanks a lot. -Vermont Hardcore Punk HistorianVermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 03:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

University of Washington - United Greek Council
Hi I am new to Wikipedia and I would like to understand why my article is marked for a speedy deletion. I got the following response from someone who is trying to delete my article.
"This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a company, corporation, organization, or group that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Note that schools are not eligible under this criterion"
How can I justify that the organization I am try to write about is an important subject? I provided a brief description of the organization and I was hoping to interview some of the members of the organization for a history section later on. You can find my article at "University of Washington - United Greek Council"
Thank you Wilsonlu (talk) 18:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think you have a misunderstanding about what kinds of articles Wikipedia has. We can't host the sort of original research you are planning to do. If you want to do a series of original interviews it would be best to find a different sort of website to host them, maybe start a blog for your school's Greek history?
- If you still want to write a Wikipedia article on the topic, what you need to get started is sources that Wikipedia will accept. (And finding such sources would show that others have considered the topic important enough to write about.) So to write an article here you'd need to find newspaper articles, magazine articles, or books that discuss U of W's Greek organizations. If you have sources like that I'd be glad to help you learn the basics of writing an article here. If you don't have that sort of source, then Wikipedia is not a good place for your information. Cloveapple (talk) 20:25, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- There are only two sources that are credible regarding the subject I am talking about. One is from the University's newspaper and the second one is the organization's website. There are no other sources that (I know of) that has reported on this organization. Both of the sources I named are listed and referenced in my article. I was hoping to conduct interviews on the founders of the organization to add additional information in the future. Currently, only information provided by the sources are presented on the article. Wilsonlu (talk) 23:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- If I put the United Greek Council on the University of Washington page, will that be more appropriate for my work? Wilsonlu (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Adding a sentence or two to the school article would be better than trying to write a complete article on the subject. However if all you have is a student newspaper as a source, I'd still say it's a little iffy. (The organization's own website wouldn't be a very good source for Wikipedia.) If you really really want the information in Wikipedia I'd suggest asking a school librarian for help in finding sources such as non-student newspapers, books, or magazine articles. It's sometimes surprising what you find with the help of somebody who knows how to research.
- If I put the United Greek Council on the University of Washington page, will that be more appropriate for my work? Wilsonlu (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- However it still might turn out that the best use of your time is to find a different web space for your information. Cloveapple (talk) 18:26, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I made one of my rare decisions to impose a block of less than 24 hours on them, as it is entirely possible their position could be right ... they're not, as you admitted, adding false information per se, just using a name for a character not used at that point in the narrative. Since that might be defensible under current policy, I don't consider it vandalism.
However, refusing to discuss and continuing to edit this way either against, or in the absence of, clear consensus is undeniably disruptive, so the editing's blockable. In the future, should they continue, report them for that rather than vandalism. Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

- The quote is inappropriately placed - that type of promotional opening is fine for a personal website, but completely out of place in an encyclopedic article. The tags were added because you have references to self-published items - his books. The do nothing to indicate notability, just existence. The primary sources tag refers to the school websites - again, these do little to indicate notability, just confirm existence from connected sources. Until you can supply better references, these tags need to remain. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:04, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to ask why you have removed "Coming Soon" aka future programming sections from MTV Czech and Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe? These two articles are edited and updated regularely by myself and I have all the information for them first hand, not only becuase I live in this area and watch the feeds at a regular basis.

However, the upcoming programming on Nickelodeon UK has been preserved, yet on the CEE feed it has been removed. Jack 6428 (talk) 13:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Redlink
You are right - it was. They'd jiggered the link up by putting the apostrophe s inside instead of outside. I checked it because it didn't match the title. (Good tip when dealing with redlink groups - that's not the first I've come across.) Keep up the good work - I get bored if CSD is empty... (I have to find mischief to get up to somewhere else.)

Speedy on Naruto-Arena
I have removed your speedy deletion request on Naruto-Arena. First, the article had already been tagged for speedy once before, and that tag had been removed by an independent editor (me), so the article is no longer eligible for speedy deletion. Second, the claim of 3 million users is a credible claim of notability. However, since the article's author has provided no proof of that claim, other than the website itself, and since the site's Alexa rating indicates that this claim is likely inflated, I have nominated it for deletion. Please weigh in. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:38, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Berlin RfC
This isn't so productive, and I think you've misunderstood my intentions. I don't want to keep the bear there because I think it should be in the article, but to give the article some stability while we try to get consensus one way or another. Look at the article history; the edit-warring started with a series of removals with increasingly disingenuous edit summaries. It would be pointless to revert your latest reversion, but is it too much to ask that you spell out your rationale on the RfC? Right now the only reason you've given is essentially WP:IDONTLIKEIT which, as I'm sure you must know, doesn't count as a valid reason on WP. Is there anything I've said that you disagree with? I'm only trying to get consensus here, and I'm not sure that you need to take such an aggressive approach. Sindinero (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
the wee-beasties
I don't understand why you refuse to accept that the guidelines are met for the wee beasties page. You keep saying they aren't met but refuse to give a valid reason beyond the best possible sources for local music scene info being "not good enough". I know you think you are better than me, that much is clear by the fact that you are unwilling to accept that maybe, just maybe you are wrong. The guidelines for notability say you must meet at least 1 of the written criteria. #7 is both met and documented on the wiki page but you refuse to accept it for reasons unexplained. For the record, I don't even live in Denton where the band is.Roboatse (talk) 18:02, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Redlinked articles at List of comics publishing companies
Hi, there is already a discussion going on about what we should and shouldn't include on the List of comics publishing companies. Please don't mass delete again until there s a consensus (and please join in the discussion!). CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 21:47, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Saba Hameed
Hi, all the information is from Saba Hameed herself, what else do I have to cite apart from her website and an independent article which pretty much confirms all the info on Wikipedia.

Please join in the discussion
Hi Mike. Please join in the discussion. What you're doing no longer falls under WP:BOLD. After one more revert, it will fall under WP:EDITWAR as per WP:3RR. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 02:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- I really don't understand what you're trying to get at, slapping me with a WP:3RR warning after I asked you politely to stop and join in the discussion. Why do you refuse to join the discussion? CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 04:05, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- I joined the discussion, and you post threatening language about 3RR. Now, seeing as how you are specifically at 3RR now, I'll remind you that you are not above the rules, simply because you initiated a discussion. I tried to incorporate your changes, yet you still reverted blindly. You earned that warning fair and square. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:09, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

- You did not "join inthe discussion". You left one unilaretal message timestamped 2012-02-10T09:45:00, and then proceeded to remove the data twice since that time:
- the first time, timestamped 2012-02-10T09:58:55
- the second, timestamped 2012-02-10T11:08:23
- I've left you commit messages with my reverts, messages on your talk page, and have been trying to discuss the issue on the article's talk page.
- I also did not "threaten" you about WP:3RR, I informed you of the impending breach. Your accusing me of "threatening" you is hardly in line with Wikipedia:Assume good faith. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 04:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
