@RHaworth: Something seems to be wrong with the email system. I even tried sending an email to myself and that did not happen either. — Koala Tea Of Mercy (KTOM's Articulations & Invigilations) 14:15, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- You don't need ping when you are writing here - I get notified anyway! Before you accuse the system of being in error, please check your preferences to see what email address you have set up. But if there really is some curious quirk peculiar to your email address, then the external link near the top of my user page gives another route to email me. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:54, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
Sorry about the ping and thanks for the info. As for my email settings they are correctly set and have been for almost a year. You are not the only user who does not appear to be getting my recent WP emails (although I am getting my watchlist based emails ok ... I guess I need to open a ticket at Phab to see what could be the bottleneck. A few things on my plate this week but I'll resend that BEANS information to you via the route you suggest as soon as I get a chance. Thank you.

- My email host has trapped several emails as spam within the last month but yours is not among them. Incidentally, what has WP:BEANS got to do with the subject: are you thinking that it says "don't spill the beans about private matters"?
Request undeletion
Hi, on my own request you deleted Category:Articles that show a Medicine navs template. That request was a mistake by me, it is still populated automatically today (though zero hits). Could you restore it as was? -DePiep (talk) 07:09, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear RHaworth, Should I be using a sandbox to develop this? Jim (Spohrer) (talk)
I would like to contest the speedy deletion of International Society of Service Innovation Professionals. The Royal Academy report calls out the need for professional associations that focus on service innovation.
I had just notified others to help build the entry better, but if it not left there for a few weeks - it is hard to build it better. We are not as big as ACM or IEEE, but we have 1000 members, and sponsor academic conferences, give best paper awards, etc. The institutional members are IBM, Cisco, HP, JST (Japan Science and Technology), etc. So the organization is real - and service innovation is an important topic, since the service sector accounts for most of the GPD of nations. Thanks for advice, I am new to this. Thanks, Jim Spohrer Jim (Spohrer) (talk)

User:Obie36 another copyvio
User:Obie36/sandbox/Disney's Zootopia is another copyvio of the same article. All this editor has done so far is to copy the article to their userspace and then submit it to AFC as if it's a new draft. There may be other copies I haven't found yet. — Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 11:59, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
User:Cakulig incorrectly deleted article
Hello there! My draft article Speedway Motors was marked for speedy deletion and then removed from wikipedia last night. The user who marked it, Boomer Vial indicated that it was an unambiguous / direct copy from a .pl top level domain link found here.
As you can see, there is no information at this link. The claimed copyright infringement source was not properly reviewed. My draft article was incorrectly flagged and deleted. There is no copyrighted information or plagiarism, it was an original work. Please reinstate the draft so that I may continue to work it. This is an abuse of the review system and Boomer Vial (talk · contribs) should not be allowed to flag drafts for deletion. — Cakulig (talk) 14:08, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- There is no need to be so angry or to condemn the tagger so roundly. Reluctantly restored. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:43, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Cakulig, you appear to have a conflict of interest in relation to Speedway Motors. Are you aware that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation"? An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. That is an obligation, not an option.
- Wikipedia does not tolerate promotion of any kind, whether in draft space or elsewhere. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:51, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Justlettersandnumbers, I am aware of what you describe. I do not receive, or expect to receive compensation for any article I create or modify. I have a background and an interest in automotive history. The subject described in the draft is notable for its preservation of automotive history through the museum it supports. — Cakulig (talk) 21:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Boomer Vial, RHaworth is correct, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions; it appeared that the deletion was malicious with the very strangely cited domain. My apologies. Thank you, RHaworth for restoring the draft. — Cakulig (talk) 21:04, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of redirect
Hi, RHaworth. You recently deleted my redirect The america's cup, which redirected to America's Cup. I created the redirect because I had searched for "the america's cup", was not redirected to the correct article, and then had to scroll through search results because the page I was looking for was not near the top of the results. Per WP:R#DELETE I see no relevant reason to delete the redirect, and the reason given (R3. Implausible typos) doesn't seem fitting to me since "The America's Cup" is neither implausible nor a typo. Further, per WP:R#KEEP, the redirect would meet #3 and #5. Also, there is plenty of precedent for redirects that preface the title of the article with "The", such as The Masters, The Ryder Cup, The Indianapolis 500, The United States, and so on. Thanks, PierceG (talk) 15:12, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- I prefer it with capitals. The America's Cup created. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:43, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
A bad penny
Talk:Stephen Maitland-Lewis, which you deleted earlier today, is once again in our midst. If you choose to delete it again it'll be its seventh deletion (of which one was apparently an error). Salt? Regards, thanks for all you do, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:41, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Table of Contents
Hi RHaworth,
I have just created a new page with different content but I'm stuck on how to insert table of contents into the article. Could you please help me do that (to insert table of contents into the article) and also correct me if I missed something out? Cheers! Jenny Patranella (talk) 04:06, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Classic cry of an SPA - "I am just going to dump this article on Wikipedia and go away: I don't need to learn wiki markup". Worse, in this case, is the fact that the template you were using has a References section but you could not even manage to copy its style. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:49, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

NG Dev Team
I could not figure out how to do it in the deletion section. It is easier for me to just contact you here. I could not find the current AFD only the original from 2010. Could you provide me a link to review it? I should be able to provide you enough references for you to consider restoring the page. -- Cube b3 (talk) 06:39, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- Someone who has aspirations to be an admin ought to know to provide links when they talk about pages. They would also know that even if a company always shouts its own name, we do not shout on Wikipedia. So NG Dev Team or NeoGeo Development Team would be better than the the shouting 1 or shouting 2 titles that you seem to prefer. There is no more recent AfD discussion than 2010: we do not need one - in five years no-one had added any evidence of notability to the article. Feel free to try again, I recommend doing so via AfC. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:49, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks. I have a better idea. I will just make it my sandbox and have you look at it beforehand. -- Cube b3 (talk) 04:10, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Also somebody who is a admin should be more nurturing and less condescending. I am not the perfect Wikipedian but I contribute out of passion. -- Cube b3 (talk) 05:59, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello
Hello Pichpich is just trying to bully me I'm just working on my article I have been bullied by too many people like him an admin even muted my other account please I have been working on a bunch of article but they all get deleted. — IKnowAlotOfStuff120412 (talk) 15:56, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- "A bunch of articles"? All I can see is one article which was rightly deleted - Wikipedia is a "chatting website" indeed! So tell me your other user name and I may be able to give more advice. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:49, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi, you blocked User:Xray~Vision158 on January 19, 2016, saying that the account was a sock puppet of United kingdoms my home. However, as far as I can tell, you didn't sanction the master or even leave a warning on their Talk page. These two accounts are Confirmed, but, more important, they are part of a much larger nest of socks (so far, I've found about 11 others). Can you shed some light on what you saw and what you did? It might help in my investigation. Thanks. -- Bbb23 (talk) 00:16, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- I spent several minutes looking at this. Even though it is quite recent I cannot recall what caused me to look at the account on Jan 19 nor even what led me to conclude that it was a sock. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:41, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
(smiling) I understand. I have the same problem sometimes. I'm going to move ahead, though, and will probably be blocking a number of accounts. I just didn't want to trample on your toes. Thanks for checking.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:52, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Missing discussion
The discussion relating to the deleted page Category:Service Management: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2016 January 6#Category:Service Management is missing. Is the text of the discussion available anywhere? — Fustbariclation~enwiki (talk) 14:03, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Just because a page is deleted, is no reason for not linking to it. And even if the link is invalid, it still looks better to create a link. I think it should have been quite easy to to guess what the bad link should have been. But if you could not manage to do so, you could still have used Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Service Management. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:02, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
London Victory Celebrations of 1946
Dear User:RHaworth. Following your remarks about what I proposed concerning the archives of London Victory Celebrations of 1946, I have double checked everything, and here are the results.
- Bad files, only containing duplicates. They could be deleted safely, but are no more harmful due to the rename that excludes them from the "/Archive" family.
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchive 2/Archives/ 1
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchive 3
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchive 3/Archives/ 1
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchive 4
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/BadArchives/ 1
- Redirects due to renames, etc. They must be deleted, since they are in the "/Archive" family.
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archive 2/Archives/ 1
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archive 3/Archives/ 1
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archive 4
- Talk:London Victory Celebrations of 1946/Archives/ 1
- The archives, in chronological order. The name of the second one is misleading. Renaming into Archive_1, Archive-checked_2 (the one with the strange looking name), Archive-checked_3 could be useful.
What is your opinion about what to do now ? A simple db-g6 again, or a more formal process ? Thanks for your time. Pldx1 (talk) 08:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Good. I am really glad that somebody was willing to take the time to sort out this mess. I have done these actions. Please approve or advise me what more is needed. For the pages that just need deletion, I suggest an hand-written speedy tag:
{{db|Mistake by clueless bot. Content is already archived in another place}}
. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:02, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for renaming the good ones (just to be sure, their first lines are PART ONE, PART TWO, Archive 3). Now I have tagged the bad ones (old redirects, or already named BadArchives). — Pldx1 (talk) 09:08, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
- Pldx1, I also deleted a number of index pages on the assumption that it would be better to get the bot to rebuild the indices from the newly organised archives. Do you know how to get it to do that? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:18, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
These indices are automatically rebuild by CB3 (when this bot is running) each time something is archived: each and any archive is read again and everything is processed again and again (poor behavior in term of complexity). Pldx1 (talk) 19:23, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

I saw that on the 29 January you deleted this article of a secondary school using the rationale of "Article about a company, corporation or organization, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject" even though WP:A7 explicitly states it does not apply to educational institutions. Is there any reason this is an exception? — AusLondonder (talk) 03:13, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Inspiration
Hello there RHaworth, I hope you are well. I have made an article of a non-profit organization International Institute of Inspiration Economy (IIIE) which you have deleted it recently saying it is promotional. It is simply similar to the concept of as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. I hope this information is sufficient.

Creating new page with deleted content
Hello RHaworth This is to bring to your notice that we had previously submitted an article to Wikipedia, titled Sugarfreemart on 29.02.16, but it has been deleted on grounds of carrying promotional content. Since our previous account sugarfreemart (talk · contribs) was blocked, we have created new account so we can reach to you to explain about our content.
We would like to clarify that we have made some edits to the article and it is now ready to be submitted again for your perusal. We must mention that the intention of putting up this article on Wikipedia is not to promote our company at all, rather it is just to grow our presence on the internet and inform our users of what our company is all about, what products we keep and what services we provide. Please take a look at the article and let us know if any change is necessary, and if so, please point out the areas that need to be worked on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kriti b (talk • contribs) 08:13, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I am new to this wiki thing as you can tell by my utter newbieness. This is the link: Draft:Mar Jennings I was working on. I have permission to write and attach the photo of Mar Jennings. It is not owned by the Connecticut flower and garden show. They requested it from him. He said we can use the photo too. I know I'll need him to write a letter stating this fact and send it.

- Laurenbove, I saw those horrible shouted section headings, looked no further and zapped it. On closer inspection, I see that zapping was totally justifiable. Please read this. And you could not even adapt your website properly: "Mar spend most of my time in there".

Cigarettes After Sex
Hey, I was wondering if you'd be willing to restore Cigarettes After Sex, even if just to the draftspace. I was in the process of trying to find some sourcing for the article and it looks like there is some out there, but it's mildly hidden since they're painfully indie and niche. They've had a smattering of coverage from First Post, Delo,The El Paso Herald, and Rolling Stone. The El Paso Herald mentions a prior review, although I haven't seen that one yet, and I did see a tiny writeup from Time Out New York. They'd also received some coverage from Noisey, but I'm not sure how usable that is since it's via Vice. There's also stuff like this and this, but it's a bit more questionable.
It's one of those situations where it could kind of go either way if this was taken to AfD, but offhand I think that there's likely enough to pass speedy criteria. I was in the process of adding this but you got to it before I could make a big update with some of the above sources. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:23, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
They're also due to play at The Great Escape Festival, but then that's them and about a hundred other bands from what I can tell. I did also find this minor writeup in Das Erste. It's short, but it looks like it's a super mini review of sorts. I'm going to need someone more fluent in German than I am to really take a look at it to see if it's a review or just a trivial mention. It's kind of inbetween and I'm leaning more towards trivial, though. There's also this, which is in Hebrew. I'm not familiar with the site at all, so I'll have to ask around about that one. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:29, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- Restored to User:Tokyogirl79/Cigarettes After Sex. Since you were not the creator of the article, it would have been permissible for you to remove the speedy tag. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:13, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- I tend to wait a little before removing the speedy tag, partially because so very frequently the article ends up being unsalvageable overall. Thanks! Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Consider undeletion
Hi RHaworth, You deleted Draft:The European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) on 3 March 2016 on the grounds of G12 copyvio. The url mentioned in the log, however, is almost certainly a mirror of Wikipedia. I've encountered the site recently as a false positive result in earwig, and the full url (wiki.polskibreivik.pl/page_Draft:The_European_Union_Strategy_for_the_Baltic_Sea_Region_(EUSBSR).html), with the Wikipedia draft page name embedded in it, strongly suggests that they got the content from us rather than vice versa. Of course that doesn't mean the piece isn't a copyvio of some third page, but would you take another look at it? I'm concerned that the original db-g12 tagger may have been over hasty, and a newbie editor has asked at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#15:27:57.2C 14 March 2016 review of submission by SoRU2 whether it's possible to rescue the original text.
