Summer School
Hi RH. I was wondering about your proposed deletion for the Summer School (2006 film) page. I was under the impression that because of the full-length reviews at Dread Central and multiple other lesser notable reviewers, as well as articles in Screen Magazine (an internationally distributed magazine). The standard for a major award is not set, but it has recieved nominations and won an award at a national level. I also question the tag of "advert", because I don't understand what part of the article is non-neutral, except for citing positive reviews. Enlightenment would be appreciated. If you still feel that it falls under non-notability, the film will be distributed by Blockbuster, Netflix, and stores in April. Will this meet the criteria for for film notability?

Cool Yule Comics
Why was Cool Yule Comics deleted? Cool Yule Comics is a real publisher and the only one who prints Christmas comic books today. Other Christmas comic books and characters are on this site so why delete this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christmas Boy (talk • contribs)
- Sure they are real. But what evidence have you given that they are notable? Zilch. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 05:23, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
The fact that they're the only publisher of Christmas comics and that their anchor characters are all strong female characters. What makes other similar companies, books, and characters listed here any more notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christmas Boy (talk • contribs)
- How about: "multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent". — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
I would think this would fall under all 5. (Google George Broderick, Jr. He's won several major comic book awards with his work and has worked on official comic books based on properties ranging from Bozo the Clown, Lost in Space, Speed Racer, and many others. His original work has won awards too. Suicide Blonde won, I believe, an Eisner Award. The first Jill Chill book has won a couple dozen art show awards as well and whenever Ed McCray has entered a Jill Chill advertising float into a parade it has won first prize. (I see Jill Chill isn't on this site either.) The Christmas Eve books (as well as other George books) have also been majorly tied in with the Mid-Ohio Comic Con to the point the characters have appeared on the staff T-Shirts. When you live in the U.K. and don't follow the comic book field I don't see how you can judge what is notable or not in this area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.211.216.74 (talk • contribs)
- Have you ever come across a thing called an hyperlink? See "Google this". — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 10:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Why would it matter since you maintain it's not notable as if you know what you're talking about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.211.228.55 (talk) 23:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Absence of hyperlinks is the main reason that I dismiss it as non-notable. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 01:28, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Turnrow
I am currently interning for the University of Louisiana at Monroe to work on publishing turnrow, a bi-annual literary journal that is published by the university. I thought that it would be really neat to see it on Wikipedia, as it would make the publication even more accessible to both writers and readers. It is a work in progress, but I've seen other literary journals on this page so far as well. -- Green eyes170 (talk) 04:00, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- "Interning", "neat"!! This is the English Wikipedia, please write in English! If all you can do is copy&paste the journal's own website, then you need to rethink. Start by finding whether it has received any critical acclaim outside the University of Louisiana at Monroe. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
If all you can do is be sarcastic, then you need to rethink. Some (mature) constructive criticism would have been appreciated. Green eyes170 (talk) 04:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- So why is "start by finding whether it has received any critical acclaim outside the University of Louisiana at Monroe" not constructive criticism? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:20, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- To "copy&paste" you: " "Interning", "neat"!! This is the English Wikipedia, please write in English! " was not. Green eyes170 (talk) 04:23, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Winds in the Age of Sail
I undid, rather crudely, your rename. The purpose of this article is to explain how prevailing winds influenced European discovery and inperialism in the days when ships were wind powered. The discussion of wind belts at the top was only a necessary introduction to the sailing route section at the bottom. This version is only a start and I hope other editors can clean up some of the problems mentioned at the bottom. I am not competent to write a proper article on wind patterns, which seem to be adequately covered in the linked articles Benjamin Trovato (talk) 01:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I guess I should have asked permission before trying to undo the rename. I will try to be more deferential in the future. *1* Is there a list of WP articles or a master article that points to sub-articles? I find it difficult to navigate through the maze of instructions. *2* I am OK with your proposed rename if you want to. Removal of the outline of wind patterns makes the rest of the article difficult to understand since the bottom half depends on the top half. *3* - Benjamin Trovato (talk) 23:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- *1* No, no, no to being deferential! The Wikipedia motto is "be bold". As you can see, I accepted your title.
- *2* For list of articles, start with Special:PrefixIndex. The search box on the left of every page works quite well and Google patrols new pages ferociously. But if you mean help on contributing – try Help:Contents. But accept that there is a learning curve.
- *3* Here I disagee with you. Remember you are contributing to an encyclopedia, not writing a stand-alone essay. To make the "bottom half" understandable, you put wikilinks in it – and if necessary, improve other articles.

I am just checking with you about my deleted page. I have re-written this page to make it as factual as possible however, it was still deleted for blatant advertising. Please help me understand why and show me how to make it acceptable for listing. -- Vickin70
- Did you see my message on your user talk page? Wait until someone else thinks they are notable and writes about them. You can of course raise the matter at deletion review. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh, okay. I get it – it's got to be someone else writing about this otherwise it is seen as a conflict of interest. Could this someone else be from our same company, i.e. from another department or has it got to be a member of the public, possibly a delegate who attended the event or a speaker? I would be most grateful if you could send me to the right direction. -- Vicki70
- Obviously not someone else from your company. To be credible in my eyes, it should be an established Wikipedia editor with a clear history of edits on topics related to your company. Do some research woman! Find articles here about events similar to yours. See who has written about those events. Contact one or two of the editors and ask them if they are willing to write about your company. (Please log on before doing any edits, sign talk page messages with ~~~~ and is it you who lives in Pratt's Bottom?) — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 13:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your comments but the side remarks aren't necessary nor helpful. Moving forward, I will take your advice and find an established Wikipedia editor to write about them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.22.89.41 (talk) 10:05, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- What "side remarks" pray? The advice to log on was basic and helpful. Why did you ignore it? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 10:11, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
as I mentioned to DS and MZMcBride I ask to publish the page user:Alfax/Livecare Support into the Comparison of remote desktop software article. MZMcBride told me to ask to you the unlock of the article (discussion). the article was previously locked because it was badly written. Now I completely modify it; and it's similar to the others articles in the same list. I wait your reply regarding this issue and I really hope my work is ok. Thanks. Alfax (talk) 13:26, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- The evidence of notability in your new draft seems extremely thin. Raise the matter at deletion review. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 13:56, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

End milling
3 new editors trying to immediately create their 1st article. ==
Erm. "Sinneed, why are you writing that on my talk page?" Sorry. You had killed a couple of their sections... they seem to be putting in a section, adding a sentence, then moving to the next.sinneed (talk) 06:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
I can only see one new editor, not three.I am tempted to tag the article {{mergeto|) 06:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)- A fourth one has popped up – Flopper32. What on earth are they? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:24, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- WhiteShadow1234, Kirktd, Jface009 – all newbies. I originally flagged it to mergo milling machine, as it all looked like OR (some of it is just wrong), then I saw the book and they seemed to be making progress. -- sinneed (talk) 06:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

- I wonder if they are coonected to user:1390russell who did a copyvio from the same book at Routing (manufacturing)? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 06:40, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- OK, so this morning I wake up and they have filled in a lot of 1-liners. I hit the web, pull the book...and the *ENTIRE* article, almost always word for word, errors and all, is pulled directly from the book. Even the part about most mill work being 3-axis (tool perpendicular to the surface) is DIRECTLY copied from the book.

Dreyfus model of skills acquisition
I believe it was faster to find abundance of references, than it was for you to add the PROD template. Of course it takes a little longer to actually add a reference to the article. Power.corrupts (talk) 14:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Samuel Purdey – deletion review
Hello RHaworth, Hope all well.
I believe you were concerned in removing my recent entry for the band Samuel Purdey.
At the advice of another here, I've recreated the page (with additional facts and figures) at User:Rolluprob/Samuel Purdey.
I am still prepared to work on this some more (if need be) rather than have it removed again. Can it be reviewed already?
Many thanks. (Rolluprob (talk) 18:11, 15 January 2009 (UTC))
- Given that the AfD has only just closed, I suggest you leave it a month before trying again. Take it to deletion review. I shall abstain from comment at the DRV. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Removed post
Why did you remove my "Red crusade page" I am reporting you for false removing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ILager (talk • contribs) 09:14, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- At least you have asked a question in a civilised manner instead of the childish vandalism of last night. But I have already given you an answer with constructive suggestions here on your user talk page. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:21, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
YUSU
Hi there,
I noticed you've deleted a page I recently created about the
Sorry for making a mistake, I'd appreciate advice so I won't waste my time creating articles to get them deleted in future. --Laser2k (talk) 13:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Have you read Southampton University Students' Union is more appropriate. Please fix the {{logo fur tag on File:YUSU.png or it may get deleted. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 14:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- The AfD is for a different article for a different Union at a different University in a different country, which is where my confusion comes from. (York University is a University in Canada, the University of York is in the UK, it's a subtle difference but an important one) --Laser2k (talk) 15:36, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Not true. The first line of York University Students' Union was: This article is on the University of York Students' Union in England. For the Canadian version, see York Federation of Students. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't know that. Someone obviously created the article with the wrong name then. --Laser2k (talk) 15:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- btw, I'm not sure how the University of York Students' Union is closer related to Southampton than Oxford. York consists of colleges and JCRCs which deal individual colleges, in addition to the overall students' union, very similar to the Oxbridge and Durham systems, unlike Southampton which isn't a collegiate University. --Laser2k (talk) 15:41, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- I suggest you put your stuff in University of York#Student activities and ask at talk:University of York to see if there is consensus for a separate article. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
I have just uploaded several hours work on an embrionic article to my userspace sandbox, to work on over coming days and weeks. It needs further data, references etc.... Some idiot moved it from my userspace to Wiki and now you have deleted it. Between you you have just destroyed a great deal of work. Thank you very much. Would you please put it back into my userspace so I can continue working on it. Thank you 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 19:34, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- For goodness sake! Look at special:contributions/21stCenturyGreenstuff. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:38, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah It is OK, it was moved back while our messages were crossing in the ether....sorry to disturb you 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 19:39, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Code Letters
Re your move from Code Letters to Code letters. As the phrase is a Proper Noun, shouldn't both words be in Title Case? Mjroots (talk) 20:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Is it a proper noun? My car has a number plate not a Number Plate. The code letters were used as call signs not Call Signs. An aircraft has a tail number not a Tail Number. Discuss at talk:code letters for a third opinion. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:08, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
7edem
Hi, i just want to ask how could i verify of prove the significance of an article. Do i need sources or what? Please tell me what to correct so that i could fix it! Thanks! Xarhtna (talk) 09:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- Do nothing. When the band becomes notable, an established Wikipedia editor will create an article about it. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
That's ok i guess! But what does notable mean actually? If you run 7edem on google you would come up with a lot of stuff! Who makes that decision? Xarhtna (talk) 10:03, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Notability (music). The links in your latest version were typical of every non-notable band: their website, myspace and youtube! Absolutely no independent mentions. Feel free to go to deletion review – but get some refs first! — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 10:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
h.m.p.
This page should not have been moved – the company is only known as h.m.p., I only added the Houyuu Media Produce reference as an historical explanation, not as an alternative name. All Japanese sources call the company h.m.p. (in Latin characters) and this is also the title of the Japanese wiki article on the company. The entry on the disambiguation page was meant to resolve any confusion – not wanting to get nationalistic, but for myself and 300 million other Americans HMP doesn't mean Her Majesty's Prison. I am trying to be polite but I'm afraid I find this very rude behaviour – it would have been more appropriate to inquire in the page's discussion or my talk page before a major change was made. I am asking you to please revert your edits, they are more likely to confuse users than enhance Wikipedia. Cherryblossom1982 (talk) 21:33, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- I repeat: I have no objection to your moving Houyuu Media Produce to h.m.p. (foo) where foo is anything sensible, eg. Japanese company. h.m.p. should remain as a redirect. I have already fixed seven articles which used to link to it. To show willing, once you have decided what title you want, I shall fix the other articles that link to h.m.p.. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 21:41, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have moved the page to h.m.p. (Japan) – does that meet your criteria of "sensible"? I would appreciate your changing your edits to reflect this – but please keep h.m.p. only as the text displayed in the article not h.m.p. (Japan). Again, if a similar case arises in the future, a note on my talk page would be polite.

Kandis Blakely
I don't get it. There is not a single word of advertising on this page. Can you please tell me specifically what you are complaining about? Also, please try doing a google search for "Kandis Blakely" and/or "New Decision Therapy". As far as the image of Kandis Blakely, it is a photo that I got from Kandis Blakely when I visited her wellness retreat. It is also the same photo that appears on her website, kandisblakely.com. Please give me some advise here on how to get this article accepted. I've read all of the documentation and do not understand why you would label this article as blatant advertising. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrpittman (talk • contribs) 21:10, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
- You provided not a single independent reference to her notabilty so you don't really deserve having the article restored. Feel free to comment in the AfD discussion. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
