WP:FOUR RFC
There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of David Dumville
The article David Dumville has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Boleyn (talk) 11:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of View from nowhere for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article View from nowhere is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/View from nowhere (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Thargor Orlando (talk) 14:36, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Speedy deletion nomination of Cathróe (disambiguation)
A tag has been placed on Cathróe (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
-
-
-
- disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
-
-
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. PamD 16:17, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:53, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Can you check...
...your !vote here? Your comment seems to say that you think "Kiev" is the common name, but by !voting "Oppose" you're actually supporting "Kyiv". I just want to make sure that your !vote represents what you want it to. BMK (talk) 02:55, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Catholic-Hierarchy.org
Hello. I noticed that you have edited a number of articles on Catholicism. A discussion is taking place as to whether the website Catholic-Hierarchy.org is a reliable source that can be utilized on Wikipedia or whether all references and information derived from it should be deleted. This topic is currently being discussed at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard [1]. As the website's removal as a reference will affect several thousand Wikipedia articles, I believe that the broadest range of opinions should be obtained before action is taken. Please contribute if interested.Patapsco913 (talk) 22:07, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
a clever use of a 'baudolino' name, my good deacon of pndapetzim!
hello there, deacon of pndapetzim! i am BB10, and i am very happy to see a fellow baudolino enthusiast as well, in wikipedia!
ah yes, i love baudolino, its one of umberto eco's many excellent books, a personal favorite, and i will always love all of his works. its sad to see him gone... may umberto eco rest in peace.
i really liked baudolino's quest at the realm of john the prester, and how he met with the deacon of pndapetzim, the lepper-deacon of the area. such a great story!
also, i like your editing works, and you seem like a cool person.
its nice to meet you!

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle of Culloden, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Episcopalians (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

dear deacon, i need your help, in a specific subject. (a new WP article about flash animation & internet phenomena. (text is a bit long, sorry)
dear deacon, hello.
i am BB10, and i would like your help/your insight about a certain subject.
i would like to have the opinion of a seasoned wikipedia editor on whether a specific article can be added in here, or not.
the article in question is: Clock Crew. (group of flash animators, it has inspired some internet inside-jokes, memes, and they have created more than 400 movies in their long presence online. (from 2001, to this day today. (15 years old))
i would like to know if i can request from someone neutral(like you), to create a page that doesnt exist yet. (otherwise, please direct me towards an editor that will be available/happy to write such an article for me. thank you.)
furthermore, would like to (slowly) become a reasonable and helpful editor of WP, and to provide my knowledge, insight and helping hand at any matter, in my small way. (i will not do many things for now, but if i get better and learn the rules of this encyclopedia, then i shall be more helpful)
i would like to create/request for a specific page to be created in wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_Crew if anyone wishes, i can provide links, internet news sites links, and various parts of evidence, proving the existence and the notability of this group/article.
ofcourse, since i used to be a part of this group, i will not create, nor will i participate in the writing of the article, so i shall ask for someone neutral to create this article, and i will only provide the evidence of its notability/existence/noteworthy value.
(i repeat: if needed, i shall only provide the necessary links/evidence/news about this groups relevance/existence, both in the internet pop-culture, and in some mediums)
it seems that some wikipedia editors have deleted this page in the past, due to the homepage not being active, but i have a link of the webpage, and it seems that it's still active. also, i have some evidence about this groups existence/notability.
can you please help me about this specific topic? please be kind, and civilized. thank you.
some links: (sorry if its a bit long, but if i want to present sustainable evidence about a group's/an article's validity/existence, then i have to provide sufficient links+evidence about it)
-youtube appearance and mention on the 'tom green show': [Youtube link removed as probable copyright violation]
-youtube documentary about a young man dressing up as strawberry clock, and spreading the word about the Clock Crew in trinity college in dublin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY_M4o3SWmY (unofficial title of the documentary is strawberry clock goes to dublin in case you need a more appropriate title for the video)
-also, the Clock Crew has been mentioned alot in those independent sites: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/clock-crew http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/TheClockCrew https://vimeo.com/tag:clock+crew
also, the Clock Crew's music album, has been featured in here: https://www.discogs.com/Clock-Crew-stopAllSounds/release/2545500 http://metunes.ru/release-idcfeihef/stopAllSounds https://www.discogs.com/label/217737-Clock-Crew-Music
-also, mentions in the 'urban dictionary' : http://el.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Strawberry+Clock http://el.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=king+of+the+portal
it should also be noted, that the Clock Crew, has been mentioned as a minor easter egg on the videogame Dying Light, and i can provide evidence of this below: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/newgroundsgames/curation/app/239140/ (it should be noted that both the steam group owner, and the commenters below are NOT CC members, and they are only gamers/users that are only familiar with the terms Clock Crew and of its online history.)
here is a mention in this link, by Tom Fulp, who is neither a Clock Crew member, nor a sponsor of any shape or form: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1383120
also, the Clock Crew could be added into the Flash Cartoons category, which is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Flash_cartoons
i do believe that, with over 400 flash animations online, the CC fits the bill on that specific subject.
once again, i apologise fo the HUGE message, and for the 1 million links, but please read them if you have time to spare, and please help me out with this rather complicated subject. i shall not write an article about this group, because i used to belong in it, and i dont want to have a conflict of interest.
have a nice day.
BB10clock (talk) 20:52, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- Dear BB10clock.
- Looking over the page, Clock Crew was deleted on the grounds that it failed Wikipedia's tests of notability. Generally, Wikipedia's rule is that a topic needs to be covered in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, see this general guide to notability guidelines for more. Wikipedia's definition of 'reliable sources' is also a bit hard to pin down, but generally the more 'establishment', the more powerful the media outlet or publisher, the more likely it is to be classified as 'reliable' by Anglophone Wikipedians. For restoring this, you could look at the page WP:AFTERDELETE--however, based on the links you have posted here, I am not sure that your prospects of success are very high here. Wikipedia's policy is about making encyclopedic content that is manageable, so sets limits about what can be included....but this doesn't mean that Clock Crew are not important, perhaps only that you need better exposure or better PR.
