Comparison of Exchange ActiveSync clients

Hello, I respectfully request for you to un-delete comparison of Exchange ActiveSync clients or somehow feed the information previously stored here back to the TechNet wiki page that you listed as the page whose copyright the Wikipedia page was violating. The main problem is that the TechNet wiki page has less information than the Wikipedia page. It seems that the Wikipedia page had become the trusted source for this information rather than the TechNet wiki page. I am specifically looking for information about Android 4.0 and greater, which was on the Wikipedia page and is missing on the TechNet page.

I respect copyright violations, but this article had become the most up to date source for this information. Taking down this content on Wikipedia has reduced the quantity and quality of available information on the internet. What can be done now? I am not a TechNet wiki contributor, but I want to help get the information that was in this article back on the internet. If the information in the Wikipedia article could be made available to me or to someone else, I could try to pass the information on to the person who had maintained the TechNet wiki article.

Please reconsider the deletion of this article or somehow help getting the information back on the internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pulsetn (talkcontribs) 13:05, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Task Force on Human Trafficking

Hello, You deleted the page Task Force on Human Trafficking in Israel. I'd be happy to update it so it becomes a legitimate article (i.e indicate the importance), but can only do that if you will restore the page. How is that possible? Thanks very much, Alon M. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.64.100.206 (talk) 08:09, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

  • I shall be more charitable and assume that you do not have an account here. Creating a new article most certainly does not require me to restore the old. It was a copyvio from here. A new article must be written in your own words. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:36, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Involuntary celibacy

Extended content
Hi. It looks like you deleted involuntary celibacy as a G4. It was history undeleted at DRV on the 4th (same day you deleted it). There may have been some discussion elsewhere, but if not, could you undelete it please? Thanks, Hobit (talk) 04:05, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
  • I saw this comment: "due to the nature of this entire debacle, things have gotten quite confusing". I am certainly confused. Please provide links to the log entry for the alleged history undeletion and the associated DRV discussion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:33, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Ah, it wasn't history undeleted, the closer just wanted the history to stand. WP:DRV is that way. Hobit (talk) 13:28, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

  • For goodness sake! I know where DRV is; what I wanted was a link to the specific DRV discussion that you are talking about. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:32, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I'd assumed you could use "Cntl-F". In any case, it's [1]. Hobit (talk) 18:45, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

  • I am the one that tagged it G4. There is no consensus whatsoever for the term "involuntary celibacy" to exist in any form, be it article or redirect, in this project. Certainly not to point to a BLP article that contains no discussion of the term whatsoever; it was decided that while Donnelly may scrape a bare minimum of notability, it isn't for the "incel" stuff. If there is some history under involuntary celibacy that needs to be preserved somewhere, it should be in some form or method other than restoring it as a redirect. Tarc (talk) 20:07, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
  • "No consensus whatsoever" means we delete the article and all of its history. If you are saying that there are edits within that history which have become part of other live articles, then their might be a case for restoring but I would need details. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:42, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Per the findings at the Donnelly AfD, however, "the overall concept has been determined (informally) by the community to not have a place on this site" and "to include anything other than a few lines on her work on "incel" in the article would be a direct violation of the very clear consensus" (her being Denise Donnelly). I made an analogy a ways back; "incel" is an orphan that no one wants and no one can decide whose doorstep to dump it on. The celibacy folks rejected it as a fringe topic, and the consensus at the DOnnelly AfD rejected it, as what little she has written about it is a minuscule aspect of her career. We shouldn't redirect the reader to a topic where they cannot find any information about said topic. Tarc (talk) 12:11, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Personally, I don't care about the topic at all. However, the point is that those 1,000+ revisions never got a fair day in court. If the sock had not moved the page, the result would likely be different now (note that a direct nomination of Involuntary celibacy just a few months ago ended in merge, rather than delete, suggesting that people are OK with the content staying). The fact that the content of a page that has existed for years was suddenly moved to a completely different name, rewritten to describe the totally different subject, and nominated for deletion raises questions as to the applicability of the AfD to those revisions. I would suggest relisting Involuntary celibacy at AfD to get a clear opinion from people. -- King of ♠ 12:23, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
  • "There is no deletion discussion which supports deletion". OK, no AfD discussion but, I clearly see here in the DRV discussion the words "deletion endorsed" - and note who wrote them. The article had a decent AfD discussion before the Denise Donnelly mess. Why will none of you tell me explicitly why you think the history should be preserved? Are you trying to say: because parts may be used in the celibacy article? The best I can offer is: restore the edits, put a redirect to celibacy on top of them and then protect the title. Will that satisfy you? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm honestly not sure if there is or is not history to be preserved for the sake of GFDL and all that. There are 5 edits under Denise Donnelly as the article currently stands. If VQuakr created that stub entirely from scratch, not by reusing or recycling anything from the "Denise Donnelly" article as it stood when Candle renamed involuntary celibacy and edited it further into a biography, then is there anything that does need to be preserved? I have n o real interst in the subject matter either, other than having a dim view on non-notable pseudoscience being promoted via a WIkipedia article, which is all the original article was. My interest atm is seeing involuntary celibacy remain a redlink. It is a rather thorny question of what to do when an XfD results in a merge to a target article that doesn't want the material. Tarc (talk) 15:16, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
@Tarc: thanks for the ping. You are correct that the stub I started was independently written based on third party sources, so I do not see any reason why a histmerge would be desirable. I am a little concerned about your statement, "My interest atm is seeing involuntary celibacy remain a redlink", though. As a plausible search term, it should redirect somewhere. Based on the consensus at WP:Articles for deletion/Involuntary celibacy (2nd nomination), it appears that there is consensus for IC to be a redirect to celibacy whether or not the latter page covers the former topic. Think of it this way - it affords our readers a chance to review the mainstream interpretation of the topic after searching for IC. I would have no objection to the redirect being protected to prevent future re-animation of the article. @RHaworth: since you recently G4'd involuntary celibacy, would you be willing to restore a protected redirect per the outcome of this AfD? VQuakr (talk) 18:33, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
I do not see the point in redirecting it to celibacy when 'involuntary celibacy' is not mentioned even once in the article celibacy anymore. It seems very strange to me. There is only one article in wikipedia's main space that mentions involuntary celibacy, and that article is Denise Donnelly. Naturally it should redirect there, if only for this reason. To redirect it to a page that does not mention it and has, as of now, nothing to do with the term would be senseless. Mythic Writerlord (talk) 19:30, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
But all that is at the Donnelly is a single name-drop of the term, and the AfD closing statement was pretty clear that if Donnelly's article was recreated, the incel business shouldn't be in it to any great extent at all. Why direct someone to an article that gives no info on the term? And as far as a redirect to celibacy is concerned, that's not possible at the moment either as editors at that article's talk page decided it was inappropriate, per Talk:Celibacy#Requests for comment. The term is in limbo at the moment, hence the "unwanted orphan" comment earlier. Tarc (talk) 20:39, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
  • Sorry about that, it was a typo. I meant "decision endorsed" (fixed). A protected redirect seems to be a good idea (and can be nominated for RfD if desired). Mythic Writerlord: The point is that by default, content should stay on Wikipedia unless its removal is ordered by a deletion discussion. -- King of ♠ 00:04, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Well, no, content is removed from or added to articles each and every day via normal editing processes. An AfD result of "merge to Article X" can determine that there was a consensus to do so, but it is not a binding mandate that can rule out discussion at Talk"Article X", if they decide that the merged content is not germane to the article's topic. Tarc (talk) 01:40, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
      • I might have caused some misunderstanding with the statement "content should stay on Wikipedia." I'm not saying that content needs to remain in a particular article; I'm saying that content should not be deleted (as in, using the delete button) without discussion. Can you identify any discussion that actually supports deletion of those revisions? -- King of ♠ 08:04, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
  • I just asked this at the RfD; if there's no material from the old involuntary celibacy article in the current celibacy article, then what's the issue? Does it matter that the merged material may exist as an old revision of celibacy? Tarc (talk) 14:09, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I am fed up with this discussion which seems to be going round in circles. Please continue at the latest RfD discussion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:58, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Contestion of deletion

You've deleted the page The VINC System which was my first contribution to the Wikipedia. I would like to discuss with you about why you deleted the page and the redirect Vinc System.

Extended content
First of all, you deleted the page under the A11 criteria, which it was not speedy-deleted tagged as. This means I had no preparation to defend my article from the deletion criteria. Second of all, I would just like to inform you that "The VINC System" article was not: "An article which plainly indicates that the subject was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally". Instead, it was an article about a political system which was created by Vincent Hansson, giving credit where it's due is important and that's what I've done. It also hosted a lot more information and I continuously to the last minute before deletion added new content to make the article more filled out. I even requested in the article talk page, that the article would be tagged as: "Not finished, needs more information". Taking a quick look at the talk page will give you that evidence, also while I was editing the wiki talk page which was deleted which made me re-create the wiki talk page with new information.

The sources I've used and credited are the most reliable sources for the information in the article, which means they are official sources of information hosted. I would also like to contest the deletion of this claim: "Article content does not determine notability" "Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article. If the subject has not been covered outside of Wikipedia, no amount of improvements to the Wikipedia content will suddenly make the subject notable. Conversely, if the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability." - Which means that the claim A11 wouldn't really make sense of a reason of deletion.

Saying that the idea is made up is also wrong, because:

  • We have support for our system on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the VINC System is a real alternative political system. Perhaps I might agree that the VINC Organization is not notable enough to have its own Wikipedia page, because the organization has not had any real progress of having it implemented in Sweden where the VINC Organization is hosted.
  • The system is also not something that you would think was made up over one weekend, but is instead the long term work of creating and rethinking all the possible political failures of a political system.

What I would like from you is that you:

Re-create the article and tag it with your cause of deletion(if you find that neccessary) -> leave the case for another administrator to decide the final outcome of notability. or Re-create the article in my userbox give me your thoughts as why this article was not notable, and advice on as to how to prove them for the next submit. or take a look at the article again; knowing this information I've written here and visit our website (www.vincsystem.com) for more information, then find that you've done something wrong and re-instate the article with a tag of "not finished, needs more" but let it pass speedy deletion.

Choose one please and get back to me as soon as possible, thank you.

  • You have the makings of a good politician - you talk a lot of hot air. We have a firm rule here against original research and similar new ideas. So kindly have the decency to wait (and I fear it may be a long wait) until someone with no COI thinks your system is notable and writes about it here. You could try deletion review where they will tell you the same thing - but more gently. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:43, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Could you please restore File:ChandrababuNaiduPix.jpg, which you had speedily deleted? I believe the uploader owns the copyright because, firstly, the image is a very large one and IIRC the exif details were intact on the image. Further the uploader, naralokesh, is possibly Nara Lokesh, the son of the politician in the photograph. (He also uploaded this image of Naidu seven years ago.)—indopug (talk) 10:13, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Frank J. Pinto

Interesting response to my page creation. By the sites terms and conditions it is "strongly discouraged" but not disallowed to create a autobiography. I do believe, by Wikipedia's definition I am in-fact noteable... "Notability on Wikipedia is an inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic. For Wikipedia:Notability (people), the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" – that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. "Notable" in the sense of being "famous" or "popular" – although not irrelevant – is secondary". I would like the page un-deleted please.

Dearest Wikipedia Maven

You recently found it necessary to remove a page that I had created (The Secrets of Floor Traders) to provide a brief background on some educational materials I came across online. If you will consider providing me what specifically about the article you recommend that I update in order for it to be acceptable for re-posting, I'll be much obliged. I endeavored to write neutrally and objectively about the subject, which is precisely why I didn't cite many resources... most of them seemed to be unilaterally in favor of the materials and its author.

Perhaps a bit bitey?

Regarding this edit to User talk:Grangeinterns: Yes, the username was blatantly in violation of policy, and yes, the user had come onboard specifically to edit about his/her own company, but consider the fact that this was probably an assignment handed to them by their superiors -- a common task for a summer intern. Discouraging them from creating a personal account because of their obvious COI discounts the fact that they well be quite knowledgeable in the insurance or general business field and have a lot to offer the project, as long as they keep the COI in mind and avoid editing about topics to which they are closely related.

Hello, I sent the following response to contest the deletion of this article: The subject of this article (which is still in development) has significant prominence in the field of Trauma Surgery, specifically the treatment of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome. He is a nationally/internationally recognized expert in this area. The subject of this article is a prominent prior military officer who played a major role in the disaster response of the State of Texas and the United States to the effects of Hurricane Katrina (the worst natural disaster to affect the United States on record ) as well as hurricanes Rita,Ike and others . The subject of this article has served in a major leadership role in the The Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States (MOFW) ,one of the oldest veterans' and hereditary associations in the nation with a membership that includes officers and their hereditary descendants from all of the Armed Services. Membership is composed of active duty, reserve and retired officers of the United States Armed Services, including the Coast Guard, who have served during one of the wars in which this country has engaged and/or is engaged. The subject of this article has been recognized by the Vatican State (Knight hood in the equestrian Order of the Holly Sepulcher), as well as the Royal House of Georgia ( Knight Commander,Order of the Eagle) for his humanitarian efforts throughout his career. The subject is a member of an underrepresented minority and a prominent hispanic who rose from poverty to his current status. I will continue to expand the article as time permits over the next 2-3 weeks to fully reflect the achievements of the subject.

Natty Paint, speedy deletion guidelines

Greetings! I'm not requesting an undelete, but rather want to make sure I understand the speedy deletion process, so am hoping you can help. I was working with a group of students writing the Natty Paint article, which was quickly tagged for speedy deletion. Once the article was tagged, I encouraged students to use the "Contest this speedy deletion" button per documentation and post on the Talk page. My goal was to encourage these new student editors to work within Wikipedia guidelines, and articulate why the article met WP:Notability. (In this case, Natty Paint is actually a suggested topic by the WikiWomen To-do List here, so at least one other Wikipedia group thinks it does meet notability.) However, the article was almost immediately deleted by you, without acknowledgement/response to their Talk page comments. Should we have done something differently? What is a good way of working within the speedy deletion guidelines when we think a page has notability? Please let me know if I should ask this question elsewhere -- I am still new to Wikipedia myself. Thanks very much! AmandaRR123 (talk) 20:53, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

  • I am contrary - most of the people who demand undeletion get my standard "kindly have the decency" mantra - you say you are not requesting - so you get it! It is always a bad idea to start an article in mainspace - always use a user sub-page. The speedy tag says "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself" so you could have got away with one of the other two removing the tag! I am not fully happy that the references establish notability so restored to User:AmandaRR123/Natty Paint. It is perfectly OK for the editors to continue working on it there. Be sure to use a move operation (not copy&paste) when you think it is ready. (Confession - I never looked at the talk page! If I had done, I might have userfied rather than deleted.) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:16, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Thank you -- I think they or some other group will be glad to have the chance to work more on it. I also appreciate the tip on the move operation, since I would not have thought to do that! AmandaRR123 (talk) 16:48, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

User:Mellofellow

Hi there, I am seeking to understand why my user page User:Mellofellow was deleted. I have read that it is not meant to be a collection of bookmarks etc., however I was creating a book and in order to save it, it seems I had to create it: "You can save your book on the "Book" page, which can be reached by clicking the "Show book" link in the menu on the left hand side or in the toolbar. In the "Save and share your book" section you have to choose whether you want to save your book in your User pages..." Did I misunderstand? May I retrieve it temporarily so that I can at least recreate it? Thanks kindly for doing the hard work of QC. Mellofellow (talk) 13:47, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

  • E Wing (talk · contribs), who applied the speedy tag, and I are agreed that it looked like notes to yourself and, as such, have no place in Wikipedia. Draft material for articles goes in user subpages, eg. user:Mellofellow/sandbox. Text emailed but please keep it off Wikipedia unless you can genuinely claim that it is going to be used in an article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:59, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for unblocking. Though, I still don't know what I did wrong. Could you tell me how to properly make a page for Kingsley so I don't upset you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paragonpod (talkcontribs) 16:01, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Did wrong? This edit was pure vandalism - but to be fair you corrected yourself on the next attempt. First, tell me honestly: are you King Russell or, if not, what is your connection to him? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:12, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Non-English articles

Hi: You deleted പീരങ്കി as tagged - for being not in English. It may well be deletable - I can't read Malayalam and I haven't yet searched whether the article exists on the Malayalam Wikipedia - but simply being in a foreign language is explicitly not a speedy deletion criterion; the tagger erred. (I'm now going to drop them a note not to tag for speedy for that reason alone again, and then search - once in a blue moon these articles can be useful after translation, which is why we have WP:Pages needing translation into English, where it had also been reported).

  • Possibly it has had a rough ride but total absence of references was a good enough reason for deleting it. I can email you the text but read this. What is your relationship to Kushal (talk · contribs) or how did you encounter User:Kushal one/Gakhars? There may be scope for expanding Gakhars or even re-creating Circle Bakote Gakhars but all edits will fail if facts are not fully referenced and any names of sub-clans or individuals must be blue links. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
  • The most frustrating thing about this job is when I give out advice and it is totally ignored. Your recreation of Circle Bakote Gakhars with the same errors shows that you have not heeded anything I have said. I have moved it to User:Asimkiyani0666/sandbox. When it is ready, do not move it back to article space - get someone else to do it - I suggest submit via the draft: system. Kahloon is not a particularly good article but it does give an indication of the sort of stuff we are looking for. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:30, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

I've noticed and appreciate your cleanup work, e.g. taking care of {{db-author}} requests. I'm concerned, though, about the haste and the absence of any notification as regards the deletion of {{Endrow}}, {{\\}} and accompanying pages. Perhaps you were unaware that it had only been created within the previous day or so? It appeared to be unused because an editor had taken it upon him/herself to remove the few instances that I'd introduced. If it is redundant, then it seems there are many other convenience/code-appearance templates that qualify. I am perturbed by the sense of "railroading" these events have prompted. My understanding is that Wikpedia is meant to be a collaborative, communicative and friendly project. Regards, Sardanaphalus (talk) 17:18, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Having a variant template with a newline code is a difference not worth having. But raise it at WP:DRV if you insist. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:33, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your opinion. (I imagine the difference is in our experience of editing/updating wiki-style table code.) Given the rest of the thread to which I linked, I'm not sure if deletion review would be the most appropriate place – at least, probably not at first (and if I insisted). Meanwhile, it looks like you also handle some/many/most/etc of the questionable-sounding new articles, so more appreciation from this general direction.

Deletion of Vichara Technologies page

Hi Roger, You deleted Vichara Technologies webpage. It contained information previously not on Wikipedia, i.e. the company's founders sold their earlier company to Unisys (which is one of the big American IT companies with great no of links to it). This is a vital information previously unknown. Is there any specific text that needs to be removed from the company description, so you can restore the page?

Inappropriate username

Hi Roger - I see you're online, and I'm not sure the appropriate process about an inappropriate username. New account ObamaIsATerrorist (talk · contribs) seems textbook wrong to me. Is this something you can take care of or is there a procedure to go through? At the moment one meaningless edit is all that's been done, but I think the name is not ok.

Raul Veiga

Hi, My name in Luiza, I work at Radial. I think there is a misanderstanding. Your criteria as who should and should not be included in an encyclopedia is not clear. Raul Veiga has contributed actively now for 7 years in the musical theatre scene in Rio de Janeiro, among other things as recording an official Oscar winning song, and should be included in the encyclopedia as a means for people who search about him. Everything that was said in the article was purely based on reference material (newspapers, IMDb, webpages, interviews) cited on the page. I think this is the link if the deleted page: Raul veiga. The page wasn't ready when I clicked saved, the references tags weren't ready and the list of all his work too. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radialproducoes (talkcontribs)

Deletion Status: Amazon Malaria Initiative

Hi there RHaworth, I have received a notification that the page User:Amazon malaria initiative has been deleted for violation of G-11: Unambiguous advertising. I would like to vouch for the article by noting that this piece has no purpose of adverting or self-promoting, and moreover, it fill and important knowledge gap. The AMI article is unbiased and is supported by third party’s sources that are purely fact biased. The reason for attempting to publish this article on Wikipedia was not for a web-hosting space (AMI has an organization website) but rather to provide information about this particular subject Malaria in the Americas that otherwise may be unknown. My hope for having a Wikipedia article is to have others contribute their knowledge to the AMI article page, including organization such as USAID and PAHO , as well as people and organizations from countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Extended content
Improvements

What might have contributed to the idea that the article had violated G-11 may have been the article move to the user page space. When I moved the article my intention was to make the article a draft so that I could finishing editing and citing the document properly before making it live again, as well as receive edits and improvement. I realize now that the user page was the wrong location to do so and the use page space is reserved for information and advice user to user. I now know that once an article live everyone can contribute to it. In the future I will have to make sure every edit I make is double checked for correct citation and formatting to avoid any mishaps. I have been researching the wiki markup and would love and appreciate any feedback for properly editing this page. I am new to the Wikipedia family I know there is a lot still to learn about rules and wiki mark ups. For that reason I am currently creating presentation on powerpoint about Wikipedia rule for creating your first article to better my knowledge as well as others. I do believe this article is encyclopedia material that is for the benefits of others. Please give me any feedback regarding way in which i might adjust the article i to Wikipedia format that I have not already noted.

Credible Source

In guideline it mentions that having multiple reliable sources are very important for having a credible page. Below are more sources that i plan to add to my page to verify its credibility ,Provided the deletion status is lifted from my page, as well as move the article back to the article space where it belongs. If Your are not able to to lift the status I would appreciate if you could provide me with text.

Here are a few wikipedia article that at similar to Amazon Malaria Initiative

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my input, look forward to hearing form you!

Please undelete this article. CSD A1 was not correct. The article had enough context to identify the page's subject. Antrocent (♫♬) 00:12, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

  • Don't be silly. I could have deleted it as test page. You ought to know by now to develop articles in user space. I have moved it to User:Antrocent/sandbox don't even think about moving it to mainspace until it is a proper article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:19, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

What? No..... don't you be silly, now. Deleting it as a test page would have been as wrong as deleting it for having no context was. Perhaps, you could have deleted it as CSD A7, but that would have still have been kind of poor form because it had just been created and the article's creator was currently trying to ad content (his last article Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services turned out decent eventually) and because the fire department of a city of 500,000 is probably notable. I did not create the article and do not really want in it my userspace, I just was trying to clean it up while on new page patrol. Antrocent (♫♬) 00:27, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
