Speedy deletion declined: KEEPING UNIVERSAL PEACE THE ALMIGHTY FATHER'S WAY

Hello Zvn, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of KEEPING UNIVERSAL PEACE THE ALMIGHTY FATHER'S WAY - a page you tagged - because: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. GedUK  10:00, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Moviebuff054

Just letting you know that although tagging Moviebuff054 as A7 can be correct a more accurate tag would be G11 for Unambiguous advertising.  IShadowed  ✰  06:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

My recent "misdeeds"

Hello. I'm Luigifan, and I've just returned to Wikipedia for a while after a long hiatus. I noticed that I had new messages, and when I took a look, I noticed something about an article called "Moonyams". My reaction upon reading it was, to put it bluntly, "What the hell?!?" I haven't created such an article, nor would I ever do so - I was one of the people giving Fostermother4u hell over "Angel the Cat", so I have experience with the ludicrosity of junk pages. I was also the creator of the defunct Sonic: The Fated Hour article; as the Super Mario DX: Blue Twilight article has been deleted recently, I don't think the article could ever make it on Wikipedia, and have no plans to try again. Creating some junk page like "Moonyams" is not something I would ever do, which makes me think that some immature punk managed to get on my account somehow. I just changed my password so that it doesn't happen again. Also, I made very few edits during November 2009, and I'm pretty sure that I committed no vandalism - I did "bump" a few pages, but reverted them immediately afterwards. Other than that, I was relatively inactive. I'm rather unsure of the details of the shadow activity that got attributed to my account, so I would appreciate it if you could fill me in on what happened in the "Moonyams" debacle. Thanks in advance. --Luigifan (talk) 17:59, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Removed speedy deletion tag: Camera crossing

Hi Zvn! Firstly, thanks for helping out in CSD areas. I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Camera crossing- because: this page is clearly not an example of the editor trying to test out Wikipedia; it is an attempt to add to it. Do not use G2 as something to fall back on. And please see WP:NOTCSD. If you have any questions or other message, please contact me. Thanks Kingpin¹³ (talk) 13:15, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Parentpage/Subpage

A tag has been placed on Parentpage/Subpage requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

How has Wikipedia changed your life?

Would you like to share your experience with fellow Wikipedians? --Saki ^talk 07:27, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello.

I was wondering if you could help me with a problem. You just messaged me about the "editing war" I'm having on TheGreatHatsby. I'm trying very hard to uphold the information on that site, and the person running these so-called bots (0mfgitssnowing) is deleting the compiled lists of screen names under which he or she operates. I believe that victims of this annoying bot scheme have a right to know what screen names to look out for. Is there any way you can ban this user from editing the article and taking out information that people have a right to know?

Thanks, Victim of Coho (talk) 07:59, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

While watching recent changes, I've noticed that User:Victim of Coho does seem to be reverting vandalistic appearing edits. Excuse me for butting in. Regards Tiderolls 08:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Looking into this further I see that you have not messaged this user. I'll let them know. Thanks Tiderolls 08:09, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

The person who messaged me was Baseball1015, but their talk page sends me here. What the heck is going on? Can someone please help me? Thanks, Victim of Coho (talk) 08:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so I know how I got reverted here but I don't know what authority Baseball1015 has. Sorry about the mixup. Victim of Coho (talk) 08:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

For the welcome! ProveYouAreHuman (talk) 15:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Bull Ghee

Hey did you really read the references? (http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds/cattle/ongole/index.htm) Under the title "Ongole Breed Tract", "Originally the breed tract comprises areas where there is no assured or commercial crops, leaving cattle raising as the only profitable proposition by selling bull ghee"..... Please stop deleting referenced posts for no reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.1.58.72 (talk) 13:37, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Please go and reply at the article's talk page where I started a thread two days ago, instead of posting here. Its hard to get communicating with you as your IP keeps changing all the time. --Zvn (talk) 14:59, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Leave Me Alone!

I don't want to deal with your gay crap. Leave me alone. I'm in America and I demand my right to edit. Leave me alone and don't send me anymore retarded messages... EVER! Andrew Hessner (talk) 04:29, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
