Hi there, and thanks for your help evaluating my recent speedy deletion nominations. Is there really [[Help:Page history#Moved and deleted pages|no way]] for non-admins to view histories of deleted pages? These speedy deletions are part of a cleanup effort of content that may have been generated by a large network of paid socks or meats. I've focused on the content so far and I was planning on dealing with the conduct issues afterwards, but if the cleanup effort interferes with the conduct investigation (e.g. setting up an SPI) then perhaps I should stop nominating pages for now? --[[User:DrFleischman|Dr. Fleischman]] ([[User talk:DrFleischman|talk]]) 17:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC) |

* Don't stop. Certainly as far as [[WP:CheckUser|CheckUser]] investigations go, all people with CheckUser rights also have admin rights. As to other investigations, you can always ask an admin. But why don't you request admin rights for yourself? Apparently self-nominations stand slightly less chance than others so I will nominate you if you ask. — [[User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] ([[User talk:RHaworth|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/RHaworth|contribs]]) 22:19, 16 September 2014 (UTC) |

Deletion of MITHILAsmita
Namaskar (greetings) RHaworth, should not this page be restored and given some time so that multiple sources, external links other than of organisation are also added over time. I had taken major part from organisation's website hence it might look as a promotion, but there were lot many sources on the web and print. These sources would dilute the perceived 'promotional' tone. Ankurjoshi87 (talk) 01:46, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your organisation is notable and is prepared to write more than a one sentence stub. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:46, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, but please dont jump to conclusion that it is my organisation. Geographical indications [1] (IPR) were provided to Madhubani art and very few organisations are working for that art. Ankurjoshi87 (talk) 18:02, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- You have passed my simple-minded COI test and I am prepared to believe that you do not have a serious COI. I cannot imagine what earthly purpose the link you provided might serve - please explain. Restored to user:Ankurjoshi87/sandbox - we need sound evidence of notability, not masses of promotional text - probably copyvios. I am allergic to shouting so a better title would probably be MithilAsmita. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:28, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Ohh, apologies for not describing about the link. The link to wiki page of Madhubani art and Geographical indications were provided to set the context that my intentions was not to promote the organisation, but to highlight that it was government of India's initiative to preserve traditional art. But very few organisations are coming forward. The name with titles was provided because I thought that organisation was registered in that form and might mean something. Thanks for your inputs will explore posts from other sources too, so that language is not promotional in nature. Few links to page were posted by someone else after I created the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankurjoshi87 (talk • contribs) 03:08, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
Would you please guide, what next is to be done? Thanks Ankurjoshi87 (talk) 09:25, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Please re-read my previous message. I think it gives a clear indication of what next is to be done. If you disagree, please explain why. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:35, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Archives bug
By the way, I think there may be something adrift with your archives, which show up as a lot of bullet points with no text and no way to access any content. I assume that is not your intention? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:35, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- Please be more specific - where are you seeing bullet points with no text. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:40, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Archives, at the head of this page. Clicking the [show] link reveals four vertical columns of bullet points, with 30 in each except that the top two are missing from the first column. There is no text, and no apparent way to actually get to the archives from there (Safari 5.1.10). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:48, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- By a spooky co-incidence I was just about to go to the Village Pump to propose the use of {{div col}} for categories when your message arrived. The problem I think lies with the
{{div col|4}}
tag that I am using to show it 4-up. Opera, Firefox and Chrome are all happy with it. Internet Explorer just shows the list 1-up - but then no proper person uses Internet explorer. But Safari displays the problem you are getting. All these tests running under good old Windows XP. I have put up at a test version at User talk:RHaworth/Archives bug. Feel free to play with it.
- Turning to my Asus Transformer Pad TF300T tablet running Android: Opera, Firefox and Chrome are again all happy with it. But the browser that came with the machine, called simply "Browser" shows the problem. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:30, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of article The Louwalan Clan
Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to have an article I created restored as a draft. The article, The Louwalan clan, was deleted due to 'Unambiguous copyright infringement of this page'. I did not understand why as the blog mentioned is actually my blog which I had noted in the talk section?
The article covers a popular tale in the folklore of the Kalenjin ethnic group, a category that I have been adding content to and I would like to do so as per the guidelines of the community. Please let me know what I may have missed or what would be required in terms of editing. Thank you very much for your assistance.Eren Gatiat (talk) 09:45, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Go to your blogspot page and add to the bottom of it the same cc-by-sa-4.0 notice as appears at the bottom of every article here. Re-create your article - it needs a bit of tweaking to make the tone more encyclopedic. Place at the top an HTML comment pointing out that it is copied from your blog which has an appropriate licence. Repeat that message in the edit summary and on the talk page. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:35, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Gadicherla V. R. Rao
Hi RHaworth, I started a wikipedia page for Gadicherla V. R. Rao, a rocket scientist who invented the optimum Bell Nozzle (called Rao Nozzle) during the Apollo Moon landing program. Since then every rocket ever flown in the world uses Rao Nozzle and every university that teaches Aerospace engineering (in particular Rocket Propulsion) teaches Rao Nozzle to its students. This include MIT, CalTech, Stanford, Georgia Tech and others.
When Rao passed away in 2005, his obituary was published in a news paper. A friend of mine has sent me the paper cutting. It contained the photo of Dr. Gadicherla and some details about his life including education, employment, and others. When I used the details to create a page, it was deleted because of the copyright concerns. Later I have tracked down the newspaper "Ventura County Star" in California. Spoke with the editor and obtained his consent to use the photo and details in building a wikipedia page. As the copyright owner of the obituary, he granted the permission through an email which I have sent to Wikipedia couple of weeks back. Now I was to recreate the page. Could you please let me know, how to go about it? Best regards, Kautilya1 (talk) 18:34, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- The article was deleted for lack of notability, not copyvio reasons. So you will need to provide proper evidence of notability. As to using copyright material, read this. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:35, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- RHaworth, you are in error! It is plain to see that G12 was invoked when you deleted the page in question. Further, you may not delete a page for "lack of notability" as a speedy deletion. Such deletion requests should be taken to WP:AFD. Are you aware of this? Kindly have the decency to let us know. Thank you! -- Demiurge1000 (talk) 01:18, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- The article was deleted for WP:G12 and A7. When I said "lack of notability" above, I really meant "no indication of importance". I am very sorry, in future I shall try and remember the right wording. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:44, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
AFCH script
As you're using the old version of the AFCH script, please take a look at this discussion and the question (poll) raised below it. -- Gryllida (talk) 10:59, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
My sandbox deleted?
Why did you delete my sandbox? All remaining pictures were the ones that were not copyrighted. Thus, there was no reason anymore to delete it. Or was there some other rule I was not aware of? Best regards, Jeff5102 (talk) 11:38, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- If I had seen "all remaining pictures are ones that are not copyrighted" or similar wording, I would have removed the speedy tag. Restored. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:49, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
O, yes, before I forget: could you please mail me an old version? Since some old versions are deleted, I am not sure if I still got all correct links to all tv-stations. Best regards, Jeff5102 (talk) 07:09, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Abuja Declaration 1989
I just wanted to find out from your reputable self, why the Abuja Declaration 1989 was deleted? — 41.190.3.96 (talk) 07:58, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Assuming that you are responsible for this and this, please tell me where you have looked to find my reply? Or perhaps you were expecting it to arrive in your mind by telepathy? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:11, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Sophie Ann Hunter
Hi there, I noticed you deleted the articles Sophie Hunter (director) and Sophie Hunter (theatre director). An editor is trying to circumvent the deletions by creating an identical page under another name: Sophie Ann Hunter. Could you take care of this one as well? I'm new to Wikipedia and unsure how to go about it. Thank you! Avianax (talk) 18:34, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- If it does meet A7, which I doubt, slap {{db-a7}} at the top of the article and an administrator will arrive to take care of it. I caution you, however, that the article contains many assertions of notability and thus it would be unlikely to be deleted. Further attempts at deleting the article should be conducted using WP:AFD.--Launchballer 19:03, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately by merging histories (see talk page) I have left things somewhat confused. But it looks as though Sophie Hunter (theatre director) was cut to a stub with this edit and then SikretongNobya went off and created a new account, French Film Star (talk · contribs) and a new article at Sophie Ann Hunter leaving Sophie Hunter (theatre director) to be vandalised. But the upshot is: I think the article contains sufficient assertion of notability to escape speedy deletion even though it is probably an autobio, which I detest. If you disagree, please use AfD. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:11, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you just deleted a copyvio that I reported, so I thought I'd point you to the editor in question: Ahmedzaibaloch1121 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The account was created on 10 August 2014, and has so far received seven warnings for copyright violations, five relating to text and two related to images (the image you just speedied and one that was speedied as F9 yesterday). They have also had multiple other edits reverted as copyvios without being warned for it. In addition to that they have been blocked twice, once for copyvios and once for disruptive editing, which is "impressive" for a user account that is only just over a month old, and has had two "forced vacations". So would you please take a look at it, and put a stop to it? Or should I report it to WP:ANI? Thomas.W talk 09:29, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Blocked again. Let me know if you see the same pattern when the new block expires. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:44, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Can you review this page? I think its sources does not give information about the person. i guess its sources are fake.--Owais khursheed (talk) 15:17, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Why do you think it fake? Because it references two works published before the kid was born as though they were his? Certainly a suspiciously large collection of refs for someone aged 21 at the time of publication. Also it is probably an autobio. But the real objection to the article is absence of evidence of notability. But why are you asking me? If you think it is fake - do something about it yourself. But I recommend AfD rather than {{db-hoax}}. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:44, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
ALGOL68G
I am rather bemused to see the ALGOL 68G article gone. This implementation of the ALGOL language is notable because it is the only one still maintained, and deleting it is doing the computer language historian a disservice. Choosing "advertising" as a criterium for deletion is odd, as this interpreter is free and open sourced. It serves a clear purpose in stating where it deviates from historic implementations, and by stating that this particular implementation is an interpreter rather than a compiler, which historic translators were.
Also, there are a lot of computer language articles, some from large companies, that really *are* blatant advertisements. In my opinion, the deletion of this article is an error, and I would like to see it back. — René Vincent Jansen (talk) 21:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Please learn to provide links when you talk about articles. ALGOL 68G was deleted for the simple reason that there was a total absence of independent evidence of notability. I would be happy to let you see the text so that you can create a new article - read this. Or talk to Algol68g (talk · contribs). — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:27, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Chimpazi
why u delete my post User:Chimpazi/fiqh — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chimpazi (talk • contribs) 05:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Please learn to use wikilinks. User:Chimpazi/fiqh has never been deleted. Obviously you should not attempt to put it into mainspace because it is totally unreferenced. Ahal u sunnah wal jamaat was deleted for A3 - having no content. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:30, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Waste Conversion Pyrolysis
Dear RHawoth, The point is that I have published an article and it was deleted due to plagiarism reasons (Waste Conversion Pyrolysis). We published such articles at some other sources but the authorship belongs to our Company. That's why I got the publication permission [Ticket#2014081410006267]. How can I recover my publication? Thanks in advance! Zhstefanovich (talk) 10:06, 16 September 2014 (UTC) Evgeniya Stefanovich

Histories of deleted pages
Hi there, and thanks for your help evaluating my recent speedy deletion nominations. Is there really no way for non-admins to view histories of deleted pages? These speedy deletions are part of a cleanup effort of content that may have been generated by a large network of paid socks or meats. I've focused on the content so far and I was planning on dealing with the conduct issues afterwards, but if the cleanup effort interferes with the conduct investigation (e.g. setting up an SPI) then perhaps I should stop nominating pages for now? -- Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- Don't stop. Certainly as far as CheckUser investigations go, all people with CheckUser rights also have admin rights. As to other investigations, you can always ask an admin. But why don't you request admin rights for yourself? Apparently self-nominations stand slightly less chance than others so I will nominate you if you ask. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:19, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
I nominated it for speedy; you agreed and deleted it. There's a request from a reliable admin. on my talk p to restore it, so I did--I assume he will fix it as needed. DGG ( talk ) 18:01, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
