Olimp page deleted

Hi, I just noticed you deleted the page for "Olimp" [1] with the rationale "G6: Deleted to make room for an uncontroversial page move". I can't remember what Olimp redirected to previously (Olimp, Romania I think), but apparently this uncontroversial page move never happened since there's nothing under "Olimp" as of now. It should be, obviously, redirected to "Olimp (disambiguation)". However, I hesitate to create this redirect without checking with you first, since you deleted the previous version of the page.radek (talk) 22:36, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing... let's get it back up. Jmlk17 05:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

DECOBIKE

hello,:Hey there Frank. I'd recommend checking out a couple guidelines here. Also, Velib and Bicing are massive programs in enormous cities involving thousands of bikes. This is not to say DecoBike is not the same... just perhaps not as well-known? You are obviously more than welcome to edit and create articles here on notable organizations. I'd recommend finding a few, good, concrete sources discussing the program. Along the lines of government releases and stories, large news organizations with info, etc. I totally believe in the bike sharing cause myself (we have a couple programs in the city I live in and I LOVE them), and I'd offer a hand however I may. To save your article from being deleted again, try working on it in a personal use space like User:Frank33139/DecoBike. Personal spaces like that are the ideal area to work on something to help bring it up to snuff before you actually publish it for the world to see. Hope all is well, hope this helps a bit, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Jmlk17 18:05, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

thanks for the feedback. i think with some additional work on it to bring in more sources is a good way to proceed for me.

Hi,

I have noticed that you have removed my bio page. I am new to wikipedia, can you plz tell me what is wrong with the my bio. And also some ways to improve it.

Thanks in advance. Ashish Solanki SEO (talk) 07:11, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Sure thing. First off, welcome! Secondly, check out our notability guidelines. That should help clear up a few issues. Jmlk17 07:14, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Your gang is almost certainly not notable. You mention it being almost a house-hold name at a certain high school... that does not make it a notable organization. Furthermore, your edit summary "(This is a low-key gang growing in the Yay Area. Fo'ty Fo's Fo Life)" may show a conflict of interest. Sorry, but a "gang" that occupies no mention in the media that no one has heard of is probably not notable. Jmlk17 18:28, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of new page Heidi Julia Bender

Hello -

I note you've deleted the page Heidi Julia Bender because "Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject".

Please note at the bottom of the page there's a note from the International Astronomical Union that says, "Heidi is the only child for whom a crater on Venus has been named. While she doesn't have the quantity of substantial works of other authors and artists, the USGS and the IAU recognized that a child who accomplishes so much in such a short time under such duress, and has had such a positive effect on so many people, is famous indeed."

This is a 10-year-old child we're talking about, who has provided many people with incredible inspiration. I respectfully request that you reconsider your rejection of this page, with suggestions for its improvement. Thank you.

Hjbender1 (talk) 13:35, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I understand her significance within the IAU, but in the end, does she truly satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines? If she truly does, an article is obviously more than welcome. But within other and outside research, it just may appear that she does not. Jmlk17 20:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

I believe she does satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. For example, your definition of "notability" is

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[3] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[4] and independent of the subject.

Under "Additional Criteria" you continue with "A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards." and under #1 "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times."

In Heidi's case, she's the only child so honored, for reasons the United States Geological Survey (who nominated her) and the International Astronomical Union (who approved her) felt were sufficient to make her notable.

Please note that this information is linked from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Lunar and Planetary Institute, both of which are Wikipedia references.

More to the point, Wikipedia lists the Venus craters, including Heidi's (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_craters_on_Venus#B), and she is one of the few names on your list without a biographical link. I'd like to correct that, with your support. Hjbender1 (talk) 23:40, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

It certainly seems that Heidi just may belong on here. My recommendation it to recreate the article in a personal page area such at User:Hjbender1/Sandbox and get it polished up, and then publish it as an article again. If you have any concerns or questions, I'd be more than happy to help. Jmlk17 18:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I'll be happy to do that. I'm new to Wikipedia page construction so I'll have to learn that method. Also, could I have access to my original page? I put a fair amount of work into it and a lot of it should be suitable for my next (better) effort. I thought it would remain under my userid, but that was deleted too, and I didn't keep a copy of it on my computer.

Thanks! 96.231.149.245 (talk) 18:45, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Done. I put the article in your User:Hjbender1/Sandbox personal space. Hope this helps! Jmlk17 17:40, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Excellent! Thanks! I'll be working to improve it to Wiki's standards. 96.231.149.245 (talk) 19:20, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

I've (hopefully) improved the Heidi Julia Bender page, which you'll find in my Sandbox. Could you please look at it and offer suggestions? If it looks OK, I'd like to put it on Wiki and point the Venus crater listing to it. Thanks! Hjbender1 (talk) 17:02, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

I can't figure out how to copy the new article in my Sandbox into the main Wikipedia. Please advise. Thanks! Hjbender1 (talk) 02:39, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

All you should have to do is copy/paste the information into the article again. Try Heidi Julia Bender. Jmlk17 06:37, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Furiae Cult in Cuchara

I was looking at the Cuchara, Colorado entry and saw "Cuchara is locally famous for a number of notable paranormal and supernatural sightings. Most of these sightings focus around the legend of Robert A. Leger, who became notorious for founding the short-lived Furiae cult, who were based in south-central Colorado in the early 20th century." and looked for anything about said cult, since I have never heard of anything like that growing up near there and saw that you had deleted the article as a hoax. I was wondering if you might be so good as to edit the Cuchara entry as well, thanks.209.94.91.10 (talk) 23:56, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Deleted OS/VS2 article had been intended as disambiguation

The article OS/VS2 had been intended as a disambiguation page to distinguish OS/VS2 (SVS) and OS/VS2 (MVS). When I saw the speedy delete message I realized that I had not correctly formatted it.

Hello! The sudden influx of vandalism occurred because of humorous comments made by Ferguson on last night's edition of his talk show ("You look up my name on Wikipedia, it'll say I have three testicles and a wooden knee.

Unprotection request

Hi Jmlk17. Thanks again for protecting the article Joran van der Sloot. After some discussion there, consensus is that unprotection would be a good idea because the prospects for disruption appear minimal and if it reoccurs it can be enforced by a block. So when you find some time you could unprotect the article if you also agree. Thanks again and take care. Dr.K. ^{λogosπraxis} 14:30, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Anytime Dr. K.! The article has been unprotected. I hope it all works out for you guys... if you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask. Jmlk17 17:37, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Jimmy Carter

Excuse me, I did NOT vandalize the Jimmy-Carter entry as you accused me of doing. I contributed a constructive paragraph about his 1980 campaign.

207.237.243.185 (talk) 09:25, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

No, an edit like [3] this one is personal opinion violating WP:POV issues on Wikipedia. Jmlk17 16:23, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

You think the fact that the hostage crisis in Iran made JC look weak and helpless is a "personal opinion"? It is an historical fact, which everyone who remembers the 1980 campaign remembers. Are you old enough to remember 1980? Don't you remember there was an abortive rescue attempt, in which two of USA's helicopters crashed into each other? The hostage crisis made JC appear incompetent as commander-in-chief of the military and hurt his re-election campaign very badly.

In any event, my entering that fact was an honest mistake on my part (I still dispute that it's "personal opinion"), not an attempt to vandalize. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.243.185 (talk) 01:16, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Regulate (song) protection

Anonymous edits, is that what "vandalism" means now on WP? I didn't think so. WP:WAE. Just because I don't feel like logging in doesn't make me a vandal. Vandalism is defined by the character of the edits, not the status of the user. It grinds my gears the rash, brain-dead way admins act these days. C'est la change, I guess. - 174.46.204.210 (talk) 18:57, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Man, you should read WP:AGF asap. I never once said your edits were vandalism, and never once accused you of anything. It grinds my gears the way people automatically assume a deletion, protection, etc. revolves around them, without checking a bit more into the background of the issue(s). Next time, please check the page history first. Maybe check out WP:RFPP for a bit more information as well. But let's start with WP:AGF... a good start. Jmlk17 19:01, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Well I apologize for being mistaken. But if I could see any vandalism in the recent history before my edits, and if I hadn't been the only editor in the 90 minutes before you semiprotected, I wouldn't have assumed it was my edits you were protecting against. I didn't see any vandalism pointed out. - 174.46.204.210 (talk) 16:14, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

KVIrc page deleted

Hi! I have noticed that you deleted the page for the KVIrc IRC client [4] with the concern "Third party references showing notability have been requested for six months or longer". The client is included in all major linux distributions (see [5] for instance) just like the other clients that still have the wikipedia page (see ircle or XChat for instance). A simple google query will return a bunch of third party references showing notability. Can we bring it back? Pragma (talk) 05:57, 03 Aug 2010 (GMT+1)

I would be more than happy to, but the article would/does definitely need some work. Would you like me to restore the article into a personal userpage, so that you could edit it and polish it up before it is restored to the actual site? As it stands now, the article just doesn't present enough notability. Jmlk17 07:01, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

STUBES99

I'm an editor of wiki since 2005. I'd many names. I built up the articles (where you reverted my edits) from the very beginnings. Have you ever read real encyclopedias like English Britannica or German Brockhaus? The English form of the names are natural in the articles. Did you know that "mala fide/malicious" type moderators are removable in Wikipedia?
