You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Dear Cindamuse

Thank you very much for reviewing my work. The article on Calvin Blignault has been written by myself without copying from any copyrighted material. The reference, which is shown on the talk page and the reference that you have entered to the delete tag have been clearly copied from my article not vice versa. The latter document makes even reference to wikipedia. Please double check and remove the delete tags.

• Thanks, I was looking at a wrong date and thought the other came first. I need sleep. I removed the delete tag and hang on. Have a great day/evening. Regards, Cindamuse (talk) 16:44, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've notice you've been expanding the article. It may be better to split the ships off into a list, such as List of ships built by A. & J. Inglis as it is starting to dominate the article. A navbox may also be of use, similar to {{Lithgows ships}}. Mjroots (talk) 08:08, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mjroots (talk): Thanks for the feedback. A list or table would be indeed the better option, since so much information has already been retrieved in a day. I will consider the options and would appreciate any help.--NearEMPTiness (talk) 08:14, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you feel that you are able to do this yourself, or would you like me to handle it? Mjroots (talk) 08:47, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since many of the A. & J. Inglis ships aren't on Wikipedia yet, I suggest to collate a 5 column table with Yard No, Launch date, name, information and a small photograph. Just adding links similar to {{

List of world's largest wooden ships but sort it by Yard No and/or launch date. Do you have access to a compleste list of 500 relevant Yard Numbers?--NearEMPTiness (talk) 09:44, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply

]

I don't have a list of all the yard numbers, but would suggest Clydesite would be a good place to start. It sounds like you want something similar to British Railways ships, which I recently created. Mjroots (talk) 10:01, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed that looks like an excellent template, if sorted historically by lauch year and not by alphabet. I feel that you have more experience than me on this editorial matter, and would be delighted, if you get this started.--NearEMPTiness (talk) 10:28, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do it early tomorrow morning. Mjroots (talk) 20:06, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll create the list now, after which, the ships can be deleted from the Inglis page. Mjroots (talk) 07:03, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've created the list. I've put the photos in with the notes as many of the ships do not have photograps. This prevents narrow columns of text where a photo is missing with the corresponding narrow column of blank space. I did find that one ref was to a Wiki, so that ship has not been added. Unverified ships have not been added, nor have the group of eight ships with a ref for only one of them. Please feel free to expand the list with references from

{{Inglis ships}} has also been created and added to all ships that have articles. Mjroots (talk) 14:41, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mjroots (talk): I am honestly impressed about your list. Thank you very much for the nice work. Let's hope that it attracts more contributions about this previously overlooked ship yard and its products.--NearEMPTiness (talk) 16:49, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The ships will need to be removed from the main article now. Suggest a section headed ==Ships built by Inglis== with a {{see|List of ships built by A. & J. Inglis}} header pointing to the list. Any unreferenced ships in the main article may be added to the list once a ref is found (e.g. the two cancelled Castle class corvettes). Will leave you to sort that out. Mjroots (talk) 07:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

International maritime signal flags may be of use to you. Mjroots (talk) 10:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the hint, but I am still puzzled regarding the Talisman flags. Thanks also for the impprovementst to the table.--NearEMPTiness (talk) 11:26, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Great job on the William F. Brown page. I am his youngest son. I have an award he received that states he is the "Father of Pulsed Magnetic Welding". Do you have any further information on this that could be added to the page? You reference "magnetic pulse welding" in the page. Is that the correct terminology? My father always referred to it as pulsed magnetic welding as the award did. Also, did you know my father? I would like to know who you are.

Dear Solipsist

• 
  Brocket Hall
• 
  First digitally enhanced attempt by H&N

Happy New Year to you! I thought of you, after receiving the first entry on a little competition that I started on the German Wikipedia on digitally enhancing a problematic photograph of Brocket Hall. Following your example I have written 42 English and nearly 300 German articles by now.

Best regards

NearEMPTiness --NearEMPTiness (talk) 09:38, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stephan

A belated happy new year to you too.... sorry, I missed your post at the start of the year. I'm not editing Wikipedia that much these days, due to too many people not observing the rules or original spirit of Wikipedia.

But it is cool that you are helping to expand the German version.

Congratulations on your work on the Brocket Hall photo. The perspective correction looks particularly good.

Dear Solipist

Thanks for replying to my message - and indeed very timely just 3 days after my birthday. There are times when I miss Cambridgeshire, but in general the move back to Germany has its advantages as well. Walking the tightrope between deletion and getting linked on the "Did you know?" section on the main page is very entertaining for me, but I agree with you, that a lot of hot air is being blown on the discussion pages of Wikipedia. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 19:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, Stalwart111 11:44, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply] Wikilinking Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia. I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link: dates years commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical). This applies to infoboxes, too. Thanks, and my best wishes. Tony (talk) 11:51, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply] A barnstar for you!

To compensate for the short form of the article, I inserted several links on the history of the Jones County Courthouse (Gray,Ga.) which directs the reader to more informative avenues on the subject matter and gives due credit for other people's contributions on the subject matter.[User:Eddie001999|Eddie001999]([User talk:Eddie001999|talk]) 15:52, 26 July 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddie001999 (talk • contribs) Zoransky articles The three Zoransky articles were nominated for speedy deletion by an IP with the reason "fake". As reviewing administrator, I declined that, as I do not think they are obvious enough to qualify for WP:CSD#G3 blatant hoax; however I plan to nominate them at WP:Articles for deletion, because I see that on German Wikipedia this discussion concluded "SLA wegen Fake gestellt" for Martin, de:Bernhard Zoransky was also deleted as fake, and de:Zoransky as fehlende enzyklopädische Relevanz. I see that you have taken an interest in the articles, and I should be very interested in your comments, either below here or at the AfD when I list it some time tomorrow. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:10, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply ] I think that all three Zoransky articles and the coat of arms should be deleted. I have contributed to them in good faith, but now I understand that most of the sources, on which I based my contributions, appear to be a missleading fake. Some (or even most) of the information in the articles might actually be true, but the sources from which it has taken are unreliable or fake. I think that a Martin von Zoransky existed, but he was certainly not a "Herzog" (duke). I think that this Martin von Zoransky is notable, because he lost his nobility. However, it will be easier to write an article about him from scratch than re-editing the existing articles. Writing a reliable article will not be possible based on information that is available on the internet. A proper literature and archive search would be required. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 04:37, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply] Thank you.

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:16, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply] Siderodromophobia I wonder if you are aware of the prior history of this article? It was originally created by User:PlanetStar, and then deleted as a copyright violation of this: [1] It appears that PlanetStar translated the English-language version of the article to German, and you have translated it back - leaving us with an article which is still closely derived from the original source, and thus possibly still a copyright violation. There are also issues with the sourcing and general appropriateness concerning articles on phobias created by PlanetStar, as discussed here [2] and here [3]. It is possible that these articles may be deleted en masse, and you may wish to comment before this happens. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:04, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] @AndyTheGrump: I came here to say some of the same things, except, NearEMPTiness, it appears that you also did the German translation! My curiosity was piqued when I noticed that the earliest edit imported by Xaosflux contained an English edit summary. (I'm not sure I would've checked this myself, either, because you are one of the more reliable requesters at Requests for page importation). Could you comment on what's going on? Does the German Wikipedia have similar policies about copyright violations to the English one? Graham87 03:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for the ping Graham, I really only checked for overlapping edits, and made sure to only maintain the post-deleted enwiki edits. Note, I just restored the prior speedy-deleted talk page (Talk:Siderodromophobia) should it be relevant to this ongoing discussion. — xaosflux Talk 04:03, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] Thank you for your comments. I was not aware of the intended mass deletion of phobia articles at all, and I personally think that re-writing would be better than deleting. I fully agree to the Wikipedia principle that we should not tolerate copyright infringements. However, in the specific case of siderodromophobia to German and then re-translating it back to English the wording has changed sufficiently that it cannot be seen as a copyright infringement anymore. I think that this version should be acceptable because the content cannot be changed further, and the author of the original is mentioned in the article. I have also added links and pictures. In summary, I do not see any reason for deleting this article. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 12:30, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply ] I start seeing the dilemma now: By importing the old English versions, which might contain copyright infringemens we have run a full circle. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 12:44, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] Yes. Also, unauthorized translations of copyrighted works are also copyright infringements. That's why it's illegal to translate, say, a Brockhaus Enzyklopädie entry into English and post it here; if the Wikipedia entry was re-translated into German, I'm pretty sure the original publishers would not be impressed. Graham87 15:39, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] I'm certainly open to RevDeletion of old reversions that are copyvios brought back via the import process, will that suffice to resolve this? — xaosflux Talk 20:44, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] I didn't translate my original article to German Wikipedia as I don't know the German language. I think the reason why people are talking about this is because somebody may have copied the original siderodromophobia article to German wikipedia, then German editors edited the article to get out of copyright infringement, and then after siderodromophobia was first deleted, xaosflux recreated article through copying and translation from German. PlanetStar 00:36, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] I'd be fine with that, @Xaosflux:. @AndyTheGrump:, what do you think? Graham87 08:36, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] OK, I've deleted the english language revisions that came back from dewiki via the import process (which had previously been deleted here on enwiki). If all the issues are settled now, I HIGHLY suggest this discussion be copied to Talk:Siderodromophobia. — xaosflux Talk 15:17, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] Done. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 22:03, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply] Retrieved from "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NearEMPTiness&oldid=630293968"
