[edit] The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room
You have turned this page from an independent article about a song into a redirect to another page that does not even mention the song based aparently solely on a notification for speedy deletion which had no discussion. I suggest either reverting your own edit and letting the page develop, or changing the redirect to one of the following pages which do mention the song specifically: The Distant Future, Flight of the Conchords (TV series), or Sally (Flight of the Conchords).--Cdogsimmons (talk) 22:51, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- I have started a discussion about this here.--Cdogsimmons (talk) 04:32, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Wombats Proudly Present: A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation
Why did you redirect "Let's Dance to Joy Division" to "The Wombats Proudly Present: A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation"? Wikipedia normally does articles on singles, and as far as I know, "Let's Dance to Joy Division" is a single. 77.97.245.64 (talk) 12:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)DanZieBoy
[edit] Kaltura Request
I am trying to get an article about– Kaltura, Inc – included in Wikipedia, but have run into difficulty, and I’m not sure why my article is being deleted, and is now protected and cannot be created at all.
Kaltura is a NY-based company that was founded in 2006, and provides a technology platform for collaborative rich-media, also known as group-video making. Since its launch, Kaltura was selected as the People’s Choice at the TechCrunch40 leading industry event in San Francisco on September 18, 2007 (http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/09/18/kaltura-wins-spot-as-40th-company-at-techcrunch40/), and the company recently (December 21, 2007) won the People’s Choice award (over 250,000 users participated in voting) in the video sharing category for the Mashable Open Web Awards (http://mashable.com/2007/12/21/open-web-awards-winners/).
Kaltura’s technology powers the Kaltura.com site, where users can create collaborative videos on any topic of their choice, as well as other partner video and social sites that desire to offer collaborative video making capabilities.
Kaltura has recently even created an extension to the media-Wiki platform (it is to be announced very shortly)
Hundreds of thousands of visitors have visited the company’s site – www.kaltura.com - since it’s launch in September 2007. Thousands of musicians, fans, filmmakers and bloggers have embedded Kaltura’s widgets on external sites. For example, many MySpace musicians have created group music videos for their songs and posted the videos as widgets on their MySpace pages for their fans to interact with (see below for a list of sample widgets on MySpace profiles and other sites). In addition, over 200,000 users have added Kaltura’s Facebook applications, based on the company’s technology platform (see applications at http://apps.facebook.com/friendsvideocard/ and http://apps.facebook.com/groupalbum/).
The company was founded by four industry veterans – Ron Yekutiel, CEO, former CEO and co-founder of Destinator Technologies Shay David, CTO, was co-founder of Destinator Technologies Dr. Michal Tsur, President, was co-founder of Cyota (acquired by RSA Security) Eran Etam, VP R&D, was VP R&D of ICQ (acquired by AOL).
Based on the information above, I would like to recreate the article for Kaltura. Please advise how I can go about moving this process along. I am happy to discuss this further and provide any additional information that might be required.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

[edit] Second Sun removal
You have recently deleted the article on the band "Second Sun". I'm wondering how is this different from Infusion_(band) or should that article be deleted. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.32.138.20 (talk) 09:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] eTrafficJams.com
You have companies on your website that are worth a quarter of this company and you are deleting this page as advertising. Wny? I am trying to understand why you are deleting the eTrafficjams.com webpage. eTrafficjams.com/getupdated.com is an internationally traded company worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
[edit] 2009 Australian Open
I think you can stop deleting it now. There's information about the dates, the defending champions and what certain players will be bidding to do i.e. Sharapova becoming the first woman since Capriati to retain the Australian Open title. Yohan euan o4 (talk) 12:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Argh, I'm sorry. It's late and I honestly didn't see the observer cited in the text. I'll self revert now. Thanks for calling me on that. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 04:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, I know you're an admin, and a I know all about your work on Punk's article, lol. But my sense of humor isn't the best. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 04:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, it gets annoying and the same damn conversation happens every month. New IPs and editors that leave after a day or so every month come and start using dirtsheets as sources and removing them per spoilers, which isn't right.

[edit] NWO Match
Yes I know it is not, but we don't have a reliable source that says there is an Elimination Chamber match for SmackDown!. A source will not be released until after tonight's United States airing of SmackDown!, so can we just wait until after tonight to add it to avoid any edit wars =)--TrUCo9311 13:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:CM Punk moveset
Looks great. It's much easier to read and makes a lot more sense now. I've gone ahead and cleaned up the move links, fixing the ones that linked only to the top of the move articles themselves. :) Gavyn Sykes (talk) 04:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] December to Dismember (2006) - Aftermath
I've read the Heyman interview, and have added the reference to the Aftermath part of the article. I'e also added a bit more content to the aftermath. I was wondering if you could possibly pop over to the Aftermath section and check to see whether there are any minor errors since my adjustments to the article. Cheers, D.M.N.

[edit] RE: PCE
I've been following this user's edits for awhile now. At the very least, PCE is guilty of disruptive editing, ignoring community input, failing to cite sources when making changes, and edit warring. I'll block for edit warring for now, but I think we both should keep an eye out. Maybe if he/she knows there are tangible consequences, he/she will shape up....or is that just hopeful thinking?

[edit] A question regarding image use
Hi,
In this edit, you removed 4 fair use images and replaced it with a box. Not understanding image use (seriously, there needs to be an idiot's guide somewhere!) I was wondering if I could get your informed opinion on placing one image (this one) in the info box. Would the cover image still work for fair use even though it is for the series summary rather than the book specifically?
Could we replace more than one image in the infobox? Is it still fair use if we get the four extant, and ultimately all seven books in the series, up on the page?
And if all of this fails, do you know of any way we can get any of the images on the page, to fill out the infobox if nothing else? Thanks, WLU (talk) 19:00, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Haha! Victory! So if I throw together a collage of the current four titles in paint, and mimic the fair use rationale in LOTR and/or Harry Potter, I can use it on the ASOIAF page without the image getting deleted? WLU (talk) 11:27, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
-
- Images are all redlinks now, so I guess they got deleted shortly afterwards.
- What are your thoughts on having two sets of cover images? There are two very different sets of images for the series, a very elaborate standard fantasy guys in armor for the first release, and a much more minimalist set released in the states (or second edition, not sure). Is that doable? WLU (talk) 11:49, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
-
-
- I dunno man, that's a lot of work. But that cover looked pretty freakin' cool. I'm torn.
- Thanks for your help, much obliged. Incidentally, is there an idiot's guide to image fair use? I've yet to find an editor who unequivocally understands fair use. WLU (talk) 12:14, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- But we can't run around the restrictions by, say, taking a picture of the book cover ourselves and uploading them, right? I tried that, read the FU guidelines, and got confused. WLU (talk) 12:25, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Bugger, so much for gaming the system. I'll put together some sort of collage and have thrown up a straw poll on ASOIAF to see what the preference is. Ultimately, I don't really care so long as there is an image so if someone else beats me to it, it saves me some work. Thanks for your help on this, it's much appreciated.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Agavi.

[edit] Stigmater identical to earlier deleted Nemesis SL?
Hi Lid,
I saw you removed the wave of Nemesis SL band related articles i tagged for removal. The creator of those articles just created a new article, Stigmater. From the looks of it its the same kind of article he created earlier, but somehow i got a feeling the content is almost identical to the previously created article (Same year formed, band member name seem similar, same rock label). I was wondering if you could check if this article is simply the same article posted under a new name, or if this is a completely new article.
Thanks in advance, and with kind regards, Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 12:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dan cardi

[edit] Re:John Morrison
I wasn't working on it specifically, just my usual random clean-ups of my watchlist articles. I know it's a Jim Morrison reference (especially with the Corkscrew Neckbreaker now being called "Moonlight Drive") but there's really no source to state that as such, is there?

[edit] Doesn't read articles
Deleted articles without reading them, and then claims the articles state facts which they do not. Ignorance takes precedence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weston sagle (talk • contribs) 05:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Commons
Just a suggestion, you may want to consider opening a Commons account if you don't already have one and uploading all free-use images there, that way the images can but used by multiple wiki-projects and not limited to just the English version of Wikipedia, for example the Italian version of the World Series of Poker German etc all can pull from the same source on commons. thank you▪◦▪≡SiREX≡Talk 12:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Canvass
Hi Lid, When you nominate something for deletion it is considered canvassing to notify others---UNLESS you meet a few criteria. One of those criteria is that you do so in the open. Eg when you notify the Wikiproject Poker, you need to post a note on the XfD that you are doing so, otherwise it may be seen as canvassing. It expected that you notify pertinent wikiprojects, but just note that you are doing so.Balloonman (talk) 00:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rodovid
For what you've deleted this article? I think it's a notable web project, it has more then 100 000 genealogies and the article has 4 interwikis in other languages. How about to restore the article? Don't be destructive. Denis Tarasov (talk) 10:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
