Hi Graeme,
It seems that you have deleted the page "İzmir Commodity Exchange" due to "G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of https://itb.org.tr/en/Page/6-history. However, I want you to know that I created the page as an employee of Izmir Commodity Exchange upon the request of my directors. Therefore, there is no copyrights infringement as we are the holder of all copyrights related to the links I have embedded on any words in the article. I, thus, kindly request from you to restore the page so that I can make necessary changes on the content that looks like an advertisement. Thank you for your time and consideration.

- @Speedistheneed: I have restored and removed the inappropriate content written in promotional style. Since you have the original web site to work from you can refer to that. However we need independent references to show notability. If you want to use content with copyright owned by someone, you have to prove it beyond any doubt. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:43, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi again Graeme,
I deleted all the contents that looks promotional and it is now only an informative text about the history of the institution. I hope it is all fine right now. Thanks for your cooperation. @User:Graeme_Bartlett

Dear Graeme: My user page was deleted and I requested it be restored until I can download it. It appears in the log that you undeleted it but I do not see any link to it. Here is the post you made: 04:47, 17 May 2016 Graeme Bartlett (talk | contribs) restored page User:ChristianAnarchist (24 revisions restored: ChristianAnarchist wants to see what they wrote)
Since I'm not a regular on wiki I don't know all the rules and protocols (there are many). I simply want a chance to copy what I labored to write (I wrongly assumed that a wiki user page was somewhere my writing would be available for all of eternity).
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChristianAnarchist (talk • contribs) 10:43, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Nigel Konstam
Dear Graeme, You will recall that back early January I requested you restore my draft article on Konstam on my Sandbox page where I was gradually improving it after initial comment last year. I had also requested to enquire what area you had specifically picked up that you felt was from copyright material. I can get Konstam to sign a form about that as required, or edit it if you are more specific. Also, Konstam has now had two new pictures taken which will replace the previous versions that also caused difficulty regarding copyright. Many thanks. Tony
Graeme, I would also add this as I cannot seem to find previous threads of our conversation on your site.
Just to be clear, I have drafted this whole article in my own style from scratch, and not copied (certainly knowingly) directly from http://www.verrocchio.co.uk/cms/index.php/sculpture. Inevitably, because I am having to provide evidence to substantiate my statements or claims some citations will refer to that, and other Konstam publications. I spent some time correcting the tone and citations, making sure that they are correctly formatted, stemming from the initial criticism of the draft article. Indeed, I have specifically asked Konstam to post copies of various letters and articles and so forth, written by third parties, so that they can be visible to the public at large and properly referenced. A number are quite dated - before the internet age, hence difficulty in locating them. Please can we all 'work together' to get this article appropriately promulgated?
Finally, Is this the licence/form of words that I need to get Konstam to agree to - and I assume post somewhere on the article talk pages?

Graeme, I am getting Nigel Konstam to complete the necessary CC licences. In the meantime I have copied back to my Sandbox the draft I had submitted (having saved it on my computer on 30 Dec before submission) to work on again, but all the reference links are now messed up, because I copied the final page rather than the edit page. So as an interim measure I have copied an earlier version to at least get the article looking correct, but it was considerably edited not withstanding the citation aspects.
Please could you therefore copy-back what you had deleted and replace on my draft page please? I will then start re-editing.
New attributed images of Nigel Konstam and his model pictures have been taken so I will replace the previous ones (with certificates) - but it would help me if the previous ones were left in initially so that I can get the new ones located correctly (and then delete the others). As you will probably be aware, unless one is constantly drafting articles it is easy to forget what goes where etc.
Many thanks. Tony Thornburn (talk) 22:20, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi Graeme - last year you supported development of an article about Alnoor Bhimani <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alnoor_Bhimani>. I'd like to add a photo and bio box to this article, and would appreciate your advice. Re photo - have found the steps to upload and can assure the photo is Commons-OK. My issue is the bio box. Is this a template? If so, where is it found and as a newbie to editing may I add a box to an article? Box content is non-controversial - just the person's nationality and so forth as per other bio's I've seen. Any advice would be valued. Caboc333 (talk) 13:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

I had made a article Vishal Umavane it had recently deleted by you I want reason or restore my page. You ca get my reason of creating by searching Vishal umavane on Wikipedia or Google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vumavane (talk • contribs) 07:01, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
This is a notice to say that I have created an [Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Doraemon media|AFD]] for this article you have restored. While I have no reason to criticise your handling of the request for undeletion I believe the full context is missing. The page isn't simply redundant due to the navbox, but the content is actually either present and/or linked from Doraemon and the Media list page simply isn't required anymore. The navbox does serve as as a replacement, but is not the entire reason the page should be deleted. It is cleanup of outdated articles and formats that the Anime and Manga project no longer use as much as it is redundant to the nav box.
This is a courtesy message and a response isn't expected, however if you wish to discuss it, your contributions are welcome.SephyTheThird (talk) 02:49, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Couple of issues
Hi Graeme. At the end of my tether with a serial vandal on the Adele page. The source in the article states her mother was 20 when Adele was two (Adele was born in 1988 so that would make her mothers birth year circa 1970). A nuisance editor keeps inserting her birth date as 1968 despite there being zero evidence, and is contradicted by the reliable source in the article. This vandal then sent me this link in some bizarre attempt to convince me she was born in 1968... http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/3473210/The-truth-behind-Adeles-struggle-to-stardom.html ...Adele is 22 in the article, and it states her mother is 40...so as Adele was born in 1988 that would again confirm her mothers birth circa 1970. 1968 is impossible and the vandal has repeatedly ignored this. Need admin assistance on this (and also go through their previous posts where the date is changed). The second issue is the David Bowie page has become unlocked, and given the huge traffic at the minute it is ripe for nuisance ip edits which have since started...so seeking an extension on that page (few weeks perhaps). Thanks for your assistance.RyanTQuinn (talk) 20:07, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- Well I have semi protected, David Bowie again for 10 days. I have undone the change to 1968. But it is not vandalism, just a dispute. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Graeme. I've one more request...Alan Rickman who has just died, his article is being met with heavy traffic and as a result heavy vandalism from ip addresses. So a short term lock would be ideal (perhaps a week?). Regards Adele, the reason I called it vandalism (after many many edits) was that the two sources both claimed a circa 1970 birth..."when Adele was two, her 20 year old mother"...and "22 year old Adele and her 40 year old mother" (and this from the source the editor bizarrely posted to me)...so 18 year gap with both...Adele born in 1988....a 1968 birth of her mother is impossible in regards to both sources. I want accuracy, I'm not pushing any year...only what the sources state. I asked the editor repeatedly to provide a 1968 source and none came...a database which doesn't specify an individual identity is not a proper source. Cheers for your input on this matter.RyanTQuinn (talk) 14:07, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Alan Rickman semi protected for 3 days. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:31, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Cheers Graeme. I've edited it back to circa 1970 as per the sources...and common sense. My edit summary reads as follows; "Not leaving this nonsense sitting like this; "Adele born in 1988, mother Penny born 1968, Evans left when Adele was two, leaving her 20-year-old mother to raise her. Anyone reading this will give up". The article is killed in the first two sentences as it stood previously. A database is not a proper source. I was in the same classroom with someone who shared my name. It needs to be a specific source that refers directly to the individual in question..and in two sources, both stated an 18 year age gap. I will take this to talk as you have requested.RyanTQuinn (talk) 20:25, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Changes to Flow-based Programming by JzG
Hi Graeme, thanks for your support with my unblocking issue. I would really appreciate a little advice: I am unhappy with JzG's changes to the above-mentioned article, and he has not been forthcoming in explaining his logic. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JzG#Flow-Based_Programming_primary-inline_tags - and I have issues with some of his other changes as well. However, I don't have the least idea on how to go about getting some of the deleted information back into the article, while still up to WP standards, given that it is about a technology that is becoming very important in many areas of computer science. There are a number of links supporting this statement in the article, so it is not some figment of my imagination! While I have the impression that WP is not well-adapted to describing emerging technologies (although FBP is over 40 years old now), I think there must be some middle ground so that readers can at least see how to get more information. IMO JzG could have suggested (or made) constructive changes, rather than just cutting rather drastically! I see a number of conflict resolution mechanisms in WP, but I have no idea which, if any, would be appropriate. I also don't want to get into an unnecessary war. Help would be much appreciated. Cheers. Jpaulm (talk) 03:12, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Jpaulm:. Actually I was not involved in your unblock. But for the autobiography I did not restore it, instead referring you to the wrong person Guy Macon when it should have been JzG. Really the userfication should have included the whole history for copyright credit. Anyway on the topic of Flow-based programming, if you have any issue with the content, since you are not permitted to edit the page, you must propose what you would like to change on the talk:Flow-based programming page. Primary sources are allowed to support simple facts, but not controversial ones or to prove notability. I see that JzG has removed text by claiming that it is either original research or promotion. So to avoid these claims, please make sure the proposals include references, particularly ones not written by you alone. Because of the limitation placed on you with the unblock, it may be more enjoyable for you to edit other pages on Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:41, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me so promptly! I do have a number of questions, for which I apologize! 1) I guess the History is gone if we ever restore my status as a WP notable - could this be a problem? 2) For now, I am concentrating on the FBP article, not the autobiography, as JzG has decided I am not notable - even though it was decided the other way about 10 years ago 3) Is FBP controversial - I didn't think so, after 40 years, and the large number of products now using its concepts - but I may be wrong! 4) If I put a proposed History section up on the talk page, is there a way to get an administrator to modify it to conform to WP rules - as I really don't understand most of them?! :-) 5) It's not a question of "enjoying". The History section is not acceptable in its present form - JzG did a real hatchet job on it. 6) I did include a number of references, but I put them in References or External Links - I assumed people would look there, but maybe that's the wrong place...? 7) Sorry to be dumb, but I still don't understand JzG's "primary-inline" tags - 3 of those articles were not written by me, and the one that was was thoroughly vetted and approved by experts within IBM (I could drop that one if you require it). Thanks again for your help, and best regards. Jpaulm (talk) 15:44, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, I see that one of the refs that JzG "primary-inlined" has my name on it when it shouldn't have. I have asked JzG whether correcting that might change some of his decisions. Apologies! Jpaulm (talk) 21:25, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Just received personal abuse
Hi Graeme. It's not often i contact admins but I have no other option on this. At the bottom of my talkpage Client5 just told me to #### off ####. The user hasnt edited long and already has had constant disputes (the latest on the Amy Winehouse page). RyanTQuinn (talk) 00:43, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Please restore Talk:Samra
You restored Samra back on the 5th of January, and it is now the subject of an AFD. Could you also restore the talk page for us? I think having the talk page history would allow those of us less knowledgeable on the subject to understand the arguments expressed in the AFD. Thanks. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:39, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Bowie/Adele protection
Graeme, I'm requesting more longer term page protection for both Adele and David Bowie. Both pages had indefinite locks but this changed when an admin lock was inserted to prevent any edits other than from admins..and once that expired the page then became unprotected. Surely when an admin lock is installed, once that period is over the page should return to its previous status. Ultimately the admin lock only serves to make the page more susceptible to vandals in the longer term. The traffic on both pages are extremely high, much higher than articles with existing long term locks. Adele is averaging 20k per day, Bowie (before his death) around 8 to 10k. The Adele page is manageable with the lock, plus her page is only going to continue being among the busiest on the site for the foreseeable (awards show appearances; upcoming Garmmys, Brits, plus new single releases)...Bowie's being a featured article plus the high traffic also leaves it susceptible. For this reason (the same reason they were given indefinite lock status in the first place) I'd like to see their protection returned. Thanks.RyanTQuinn (talk) 23:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- I extended protection for Adele, it had not become unprotected yet as you feared. But for David Bowie, protection has expired and vandalism or disruptive editing has not restarted. Normally we prefer to allow IP editors to edit constructively. WP:RFPP is the preferred place to ask if you do see trouble that needs protection. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:15, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ahh ok. I had seen you lock other articles in the past so thought it was customary to alert an admin directly if an article was being messed with. Cheers for the Adele lock, that will save a lot of cleanup. Regards Bowie, I ≠haven't edited much at all on it (bar a couple of edits in the past week), but I especially hate to see disruptive edits on a featured article. Previous editors put so much work into those. I've see articles lose featured article status because of endless weak edits and outright vandalism. Looking at the Bowie article I see it has had seven different reverts in it's first 18 hours since being unlocked, and all those edits from ip addresses or editors with few edits. More experienced editors (and non vandals) have better understanding of what is and isn't encyclopedic content. A featured article with heavy traffic is much more susceptible to lose its status when unlocked.RyanTQuinn (talk) 22:51, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Questions about ExxonMobile RfC closure
Thank you for closing the RfC here [[1]]. I do have a question about the justification for closing. I understand that based on a basic count of votes the exact statement would be included. However, I didn't see anything thing regarding a consideration of the various arguments as well as the numerous issues with the way the RfC was conducted.
- The RfC was stated in a less than neutral way because for all but the last week or so the RfC it was NOT clear that the MJ reference was in the article, just not with the exact sentence HughD proposed. Thus some editors may not have realized that support was approving an exact quote, not a general inclusion. Almost all editors support some form of conclusion. I would hope we would have an overwhelming consensus to include an exact sentence.
- Second, a recent RfC for the same reference here [2] resulted in "include but no consensus on exact format". I think that would be a reasonable conclusion here as well since I don't see an actual consensus for the exact sentence.
- Third, the NPOVN[[3]] and RSN[[4]] discussions from last fall were generally against inclusion of the opinion aspects of the article and only supported inclusion of the facts contained in the article. The quoted sentence was seen by those noticeboard discussions as including both fact and editorial opinion.
Would you mind offering a bit more information in your closing. Do you think the article should include the exact sentence (this is how HughD will expect the result to be used) or just inclusion in general and allow editors to again decide on the talk page? Thanks Springee (talk) 04:45, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- I will see if I can expand my rationale. The second and third point should have been referred to in the RFC, but since they were not, their results are superseded/irrelevant. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:01, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- I attempted to add the third point to the original RfC but the links were initially moved [5] and then deleted [6]. Given the highly contentious nature of the original RfC I didn't feel I could easily add the RSN and NPOVN material into the original RfC without being accused of creating bias. #2 didn't really occur to me until later since I was fully aware of the issues and what HughD was attempting to do by asking if we should include an exact sentence. This one really should be taken into consideration when deciding if the "support" was really for the exact sentence or just inclusion in general. All previous results were for inclusion in general, never for an exact sentence. I think exact sentence would require a very high level of consensus vs general inclusion. Anyway, those are my thoughts and concerns. Thank you for listening. Springee (talk) 05:20, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Dear Graeme Bartlett. You recently closed the RfC on ExxonMobil with a result: support for inclusion of the statement "In December 2009 Mother Jones magazine said ExxonMobil was among the most vocal climate change deniers." However, as you can see the issue was quite controversial and therefore it would be useful if there would be also argumentations which arguments were taken into account to reach to that result. Different policies were referred to support inclusion as also to oppose inclusion, and therefore it would important to know how these different policies were considered. Also, please clarify how was taken or was not taken into account the fact that almost all comments were made before the relevant section was split into a separate article ExxonMobil climate change controversy and right now the relevant subsection is only a summary of the split off section. Thank you in advance. Beagel (talk) 06:37, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- I discovered only after creating a new section that the similar thread is already opened. Sorry for this. Beagel (talk) 06:41, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Yet another quibble I'm afraid. I've no objection to the "sense" of your closure (like the two editors above I'd rather it was the other way round, but don't really care). However, did you notice the "Please be aware that almost all comments in this RfC were made before the section under discussion was split to ExxonMobil climate change controversy and right now the section here includes only a summary of that article."? I think there is an ambiguity in where you've closed the addition-should-be. I think the natural sense of the closure is that it should be added to ExxonMobil climate change controversy; but I also suspect that those very keen to see the statement in the main article might be unhappy with that. If you could clarify whether your closure definitively refers to one article or another, or if it is up to us to sort that out, it might be helpful. Thanks, William M. Connolley (talk) 12:17, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- I will second the above that it's not clear if this goes in the parent or split article. I also am unclear if the revised closure means the current statement (now in the split off article) is OK given that it does include the article and most of the outside editors wouldn't be aware of the current statement given HughD didn't include it. Thanks Springee (talk) 12:32, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- FWIW, I've made the edit to the other page here so you can see the context it would have, if that helps. On the main EM page it looks like this William M. Connolley (talk) 20:32, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for stepping up to this contentious formal admin close. Sadly the edit warring continues. Sigh. Sadly the close has left us with back where we started five weeks ago, with the tenacious emboldened and prevailing, but now with the many of our colleagues who contributed to the RfC discussion supporting the addition in good faith greatly disheartened. The article talk page participants were not notified of this discussion here. If your best assessment of the consensus is further discussion is necessary, respectfully might a recommendation to extend the RfC be more appropriate? Would you please consider further adjusting the close, to endorse the content and refs supported by our community, without prejudice to further refinement via additional talk page discussion or failing that via RfC? In other words, clarify that the community supported content is the "new normal", and clarify that edit warring in the wake of an RfC on a DS topic is disruptive? Thanks again. Hugh (talk) 19:20, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hello. Thank you again for your time on this formal RfC close. Sadly your close without prejudice to further discussion is being read as a license to edit war. I believe the views expressed here in this thread on your talk page are not representative of the views of the participants in the RfC. The article talk page was not notified of this off-article discussion of the close. Respectfully may I ask, do you mind if I notify our community directly below the closed RfC? Thank you.

Hi Graeme. Did you mean the list of extra reading to be just a list of ref numbers only? Aoziwe (talk) 12:48, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi @Aoziwe: the list of extra reading here are references that I planned to add later once the text was written based on what that reference said. This article was really a draft that was not quite ready, but someone was interested in this topic, so I made it live. So if you know a way where the reference can still be listed, but the numbers disappear, so as to make a list, that would be good. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:27, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Graeme, I noticed this change and was thinking maybe you could look this one over, since they are both musically related. cheers, Mlpearc (open channel) 06:45, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
Where Sinners Meet/The Dover Road
Hi. I have no issue with discussing this if you wish, other than I'm simply attempting to avoid making work for other editors. Before I open a discussion, I was wondering why you felt that this wasn't cut and dry? All 3 sources in the current article refer to the film by the name Where Sinners Meet (imdb, bfi, and the Perth Daily News). In addition, AFI (and TMC, of course, since they get most of their basic info from AFI), and contemporaneous sources like The Film Daily, Motion Picture Herald, etc. all refer to film by the Sinners title (with the exception of a single reference to it as Where Lovers Meet in Variety). In fact, nowhere is the final film referred to by the Road title (although contemporaneous sources do refer to it by that title during the production phase). So, before I open a general discussion, I was wondering why you felt this wasn't cut and dry? Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 13:25, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Onel5969: It was the first few words in the article, where it says the title is "The Dover Road". If you edit this lede to make it look like the real name is "Where Sinners Meet" and how it came to be called the other name later on it would be more convincing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:50, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. Made the changes. Onel5969 TT me 00:05, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
This CSD was originally declined by me. The user who first tagged the image then went and unlinked it[7] and retagged it. I don't think this deletion was a smart one, nor in keeping with the spirit of G5. Would you reconsider? Magog the Ogre (t • c) 02:09, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

List of entertainers who died during a performance
I see you reverted my change and called it irresponsible and provided no proof of said discussion, then proceeded to change the list criteria without discussion. I'm not sure if this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black or what, but a discussion had begun on the talk page of the article which you have taken no part in. I would appreciate you revert yourself and take part in the discussion as you are currently not helping in any way.McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 14:12, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Draft Nigel Konstam
Graeme, I believe I have addressed the points you made last on my Konstam draft page, particularly adding a copyright notice linked to that page at reference 2, and sorting the images for CC licence. Please can the submission be reviewed so that it can be promulgated soonest? Tony Thornburn (talk) 21:32, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have submitted it for you. I am not much online at the moment. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:19, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Why did you feel the need to protect that page? No one was violating 3RR or anything.

Adding a Spanish version of my article Meso-zeaxanthin:
Hello, I have a spanish translation of my article that I want to upload to Wikipedia and then link to the english version. Can you advise how I go about this?
Thanks--Macularcarotenoids (talk) 09:32, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Macularcarotenoids: first you will need to know the name in Spanish. if it is the same as English you can click here to create: es:Meso-zeaxanthin. (Otherwise change the name after the :es: to the correct name). Then paste your text into the page. Under the language there whould appear an "add links" like. Click on that and you will be taken to a page that you can add the language entries for the titles. This is on wikiddata which is somewhat different and more restricted.

Surtees TS16
Hello,
I wonder if you could clarify your recent decision to decline speedy deletion of the draft article Surtees TS16 which has now been 'accepted'. You said that little seemed to have been copied but the copy-vio report said 'violation 93.4% confidence' (report here). Looking at the pink highlighted text in the source and article columns, it is getting close to identical and even the strange prose/tense/capitalisation of the 'original' has been carried over into the article page. In case the link to the copy-vio doesn't work here is a one to the page with the speedy notice in place.
By way of background, the creator of this article is a long-term, IP hopping, possibly well-intentioned, but thoroughly disruptive editor of articles related to the Wiki F1 project. Other editors have spent many hours (understatement) cleaning up his strangely written submissions, but we have only just caught on that they have been C&P from poorly translated foreign websites. In the last week, six other drafts, by the same editor, have been deleted for copy-vio problems. Thanks for any help or comments you can give. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 10:14, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Eagleash: When I look at the purported page copied, http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr239.html it looks nothing like what the copyvio report says is there, and nothing like the page written on Wikipedia. So something has gone wrong with the copyvio report somehow. The corenbot report https://tools.wmflabs.org/dupdet/compare.php?url1=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fw%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DSurtees_TS16%26oldid%3D708075944&url2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.grandprix.com%2Fgpe%2Frr239.html&minwords=3&minchars=13&removequotations=&removenumbers= shows only things like names are duplicate. Any way SwisterTwister likes to have stuff nominated for deletion, so I can be sure that he also checked out the page for infringement. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:29, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- OK I see, I think he must have copied directly from the Polish wiki site which I presume is OK if not ideal? I must have missed the 'wiki' part on the highlighted summary results line. Easy mistake to make when you come upon the last in a series of drafts which were, and have been deleted as, copy-vios. I won't comment on the review process generally! Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 10:48, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- If he did copy from another compatibly licensed web page or Wiki, then credit needs to be given via a link in an edit summary or talk page. (unless the writer owns the copyright) Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:53, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- We've been pretty sure that he copies most of what he does, for months, but hadn't got 'proof' as it were. He rarely leaves edit summaries (unless they're abusive), immediately removes any messages on talk pages, if he actually sees them, as the IP changes daily, and hardly ever engages in any sort of discussion. We think he may be very young and that English is not his first language. Anyway, thanks for clarifying. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 11:28, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Decline of Speedy Deletion of Samson and Sons
Hello Admin, I just found that you declined the article which I requested for Speedy Deletion. IE; Samson and Sons. Also I found that you commented by "seems like a big developer, so speedy delete declined". The article is paid article See Talk:Samson and Sons. The article didn't have any reference for stating the importance of that to be encyclopedic, nothing even from Google News, also their website is not working/out of order. If its a big developer their should be some references from any online newspapers reporting about their latest projects and all, as on this case I cannot even find any. Hope you'll revise your decision. Thanks! JackTracker (talk) 12:39, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- So this should probably be deleted via AFD or prod, but if it is paid prod will likely fail. Lack of stuff in Google search is not a reason to speedy delete, as it might be in Hindi or some other unreadable language. Being paid for is not a speedy delete reason either. How about you start off an AFD. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Removal of CSD for "Pseudo-educational television"
You really think it is likely that anybody will ever type "Pseudo-educational television" into the search box?
...I guess you do, since you removed the CSD tag. I just don't think that anything anybody can think up that can arguably point to an existing article (or section, in this case) should count as a "plausible redirect". It certainly isn't a typo... Jeh (talk) 11:07, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Not a typo, but a related concept. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:08, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- There's a grand total of 7 occurrences of the term in the entire Google index. One of them is the redirect here, all the rest are blogs (two of them are at the same blog). It's a made-up name that a completely negligible number of people have made up and with no RSs for its use. What happened to "Wikipedia is not for things someone made up one day"? I suggest that WP:R#DELETE reason 8 applies. (and that's my last thought on the matter; I won't pester you further.) Jeh (talk) 11:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jeh. In your edit summary while nominating this article for speedy deletion, you noted "redirect created by (so far) vandalism-only account". I created the redirect. Am sure you might not have intended to refer to me as a vandalism only account. I am mentioning it for the record only. And hi Graeme. Thanks for chipping in. See you around (you're doing some absolutely amazing work here - I am your fan). Xender Lourdes (talk) 17:06, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- You are correct. I'd seen it in BLUKCA (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)'s edit history and assumed they created the redirect. In fact they had created a stub article of that name which you then changed to a redirect. BLUKCA was of course the vandalism-only account I was referring to (it has been blocked twice, the second time indef). My apologies for that confusion. Jeh (talk) 20:17, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Declined Speedy Deletion of Ajitabha Bose
Hi I had tagged the page under speedy deletion WP:G4 which you declined. However, it seems the deletion discussion exists but under a different name over here Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ajitabh_Bose. Ajitabha Bose and Ajitabh Bose seem to be the same person if you compare the article on simple english wikipedia and the current article. Essentially, the person seems to be notable for only one event. Lemongirl942 (talk) 11:26, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yes that looks to be an AFD for the same person. I won't object if you nominate it, this time pointing to that AFD. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:32, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you. I found the previous Draft:Ajitabha_Bose with AfC rejections as well. Yup, I will nominate it again. Lemongirl942 (talk) 11:35, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
Declined Speedy Deletion of List of protected areas of British Columbia
Hi there. Can you explain what you are looking for here? Are you saying that this should be a PROD? I thought my rationale was legitimate, and don't see how the tag should be removed while a discussion is going on. --Natural RX 14:23, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

- @Vin09: I did an internet search, and there seems to be some minor use of the term, so it needs a bit more checking than just a guess that the writer made it up. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:28, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- 2011 Census of India do not have any such settlement in Telangana state. Also, the two other places which there was mention Hanamakonda and Kazipet are not cities., but only Warangal is a city. So, where is the concept of Tricity. Both the former towns were merged in in Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation.--Vin09 (talk) 03:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Majithia Sirdars speedy deletion
Hello. you declined speedy deletion for Majithia Sirdars. This article seems to be recreation of an old article that was AFDed..[1] Has anything been added in the discussion around article since then that I may not not aware of? The newly created article still has mostly primary references and no coverage in the media as a family. Do you suggest another AFD ? ChunnuBhai (talk) 06:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- The text is completely rewritten, but covers the same ground in the same style. Of the references, one is common, but in the deleted version all references would be counted unreliable. In the new copy two references seem to be written by one of the subjects and so are not independent. G4 is stretching it a bit, but I would support an AFD. The reasons would be the same, that the individuals may be notable, but the group is not. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:01, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Please userfy both and talk page. He is a very notable streamer. Valoem talk contrib 10:43, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

- Chance Morris is not as bad, but still dubiously containing entirely unsourced statements perhaps written by a friend. When I look to confirm information online, I only find unreliable sources. So this too needs some researching. Sample text : "Chance is an extremely famous twitch user, and has more than 900,000 followers. Chance is so called the worlds "#1 Virgin". Chance is also very famous on Youtube, having over 100,000,000 views, And over 500,000 subs. In lots of peoples opinion chance is the funniest guy in the world. In fact he probably is. Chance enjoys playing many games. He is probably most known for WoW, or World of Warcraft. He also plays stuff like Blackjack, and H1Z1." credit to user:Kieran Bowers. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:00, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- Nothing useable? Valoem talk contrib 11:04, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- The problem is that the revision contains some attack like text (negative BLP) So I only want to copy the best bit above for you. There are no sources. The second best bit of text is: "Twitch live streamer and popular Youtuber also known as Sodapoppin who creates comedy and gaming content. Before Fame His first video upload to YouTube came on June 20, 2012. It was titled "Sodapoppin Playing Amnesia 2." Trivia He surpassed 750,000 followers on Twitch in April of 2015.

Gozo national football team
Hi, I believe the decision to delete this page must be reviewed in light of evidence that was probably not presented earlier. This team indeed existed at some point. It organized the VIVA World Cup, which seems to be a notable event based on the number of pages that cover/reference it. Correct me if wrong, but this seems to be the only national team that has been deleted after having established itself by participating in the VIVA World Cup event. Information about the team is available from the RSSSF, which is one of the most reliable sources on football: [8].
I believe the page should be reinstated. I will work on including relevant information from the RSSSF on the article in order to establish notability. Ladril (talk) 17:16, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- OK @Ladril:, I have made this a draft at Draft:Gozo national football team with all the previous deleted versions. See if you can make this into a suitable page. I will protect the page against recreation, so that it can be reviewed against AFD first. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:48, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Can you userfy this and talk page? Valoem talk contrib 18:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- Does this topic have a claim of importance or notability. From the only independent reference, she has been watched on youtube a lot because of nip slip. Has something changed in the last 2 years?
- Copies of content are here http://deletionpedia.org/en/Jenny_Scordamaglia and here http://wpedia.goo.ne.jp/enwiki/Jenny_Scordamaglia do you want either of these pages, or do you want to start from scratch? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:09, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- I have many new sources, you know I like to keep history full intact, I also would like to see what condition the article was in. Valoem talk contrib 23:55, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! I went ahead and added 5 new sources so the content is now different and a new AfD maybe required. I removed the self-published sources and added secondary sources in both English and Spanish, I think this should pass GNG now, can you move it to the main space?

I knew that wasn't an A7! Not sure where promotional came from though; it was A11 not G11. EDIT: I see someone mistakenly tagged it G11 instead of A11. Adam9007 (talk) 00:42, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- but since it is only on social media, I think it does need deleting. We need AFD to give a real result, not just short circuited. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:48, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Nothing irritates me more than someone insisting something's an A7 when it obviously is not (usually due to the scope). That's happened to me several times. I've seen computer programs classed as web content, and sometimes even as businesses! Then the nominator moans when I change or remove the tag. I think people confuse speedy deletion with snow deletion. Adam9007 (talk) 01:02, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- I support your sentiment. It is either due to ignorance, or pushing the boundary of what was agreed. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:05, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- Adam9007 - To be fair everyone makes mistakes here, I was convinced it was A7 material but I was wrong and I probably shouldn't of reverted you considering I wasn't entirely sure myself ..... oh and I apologize for then adding G11 instead of A11 .... Just don't ask!

You beat me to it - I'd just seen the talk page note and was coming to the article to deprod it and add a source (I'd seen the page history so was aware that the original editor had stripped the page down on the instructions of the subject). Does an inconclusive AfD actually trump lack of references for a BLP created after 2010? I've never seen that suggested. Strange case, anyway, but I've added a ref. PamD 08:38, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Graeme could you please explain to me why my page was deleted? Also if i need more references. I have found this person in the database of CBF (confederacao Brasileira de Futebol),which is the official governing body of football for alll brazilian players. But i made a mistake as i thought i put in that link as well. I will be sure to put it in. Also could you please help me by telling me how i could use newspaper prints as references if need be. If you think that i need to re-edit/redo everything please delete the page and i will start it all over again.

Aaron Enrico dos Santos.
Hi Graeme, Thank you for the reply. I have some info/questions that i need your assistance of greatly:
- He has in fact played for those clubs as i have access to his official documents. i.e contracts/official registration papers from various associations as well as FIFA.
- I have pictures of him in lineups before the game and have videos of him training with the entire team.
- Also I have friends who are professional players and they themselves, like this player(Enrico),don't have wikipedia pages.
- I have spoken to a Licensed Fifa agent yesterday to enquire about this and he said that wikipedia is not the database they use for player background checks.
- Nor do they use other public online databases.
- They have their own intraweb which they access and they always use the ITC (international transfer certificate)to determine where the player has been. It is the only OFFICIAL thing they use. Working always between official Governing bodies in the sport on a national level not even state.
- He has also stated that many people charge athletes for creating their pages.
- This agent happens to be an ex-player who has played at the highest level and manages/managed top flight players.
- He himself does not have a wikipedia page.
- He has been in the business for more than 25 years.
please let me know what your thoughts are and how we can rectify this.
Thanks ```` @Graeme Bartlett: Thanks so much Graeme, Please delete the entire thing and ill start a fresh new one in the sandbox and have you look at it. ```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luanne.N (talk • contribs) 03:47, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Luanne.N: @Masha.Ukraina: I have restored this to Draft:Aaron Enrico dos Santos. Note that photos and videos from social websites would not be counted as reliable unless they come from an official club or league organisation. Your next steps should be to supply references that prove the person has played at the top levels in these clubs. This can include newspapers. Note that the web sites listed in the draft are not convincing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:55, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, as the one who proposed the article for deletion, I thought I would drop a line. I did consider at the time that the article was hoax (or at least not truthful), since I couldn't find any substantial reliable information on a player that was supposed to be at Ajax, Fulham, Bayern and scouted by Barcelona and Inter. That just seemed too far fetched. I also found a Norwegian article [9] on Santos, who arrived in Norway with glowing references (Ajax, Fulham and even Arsenal thrown in), which, according to the article turned out to be fake or at least wild overstatements.
- Looking at it now, I come to believe that there was at least a grain of truth in the article and I should not have proposed a deletion as a complete hoax. This (although can not be used as a reliable source) seems to at least suggest that he did play one off-season game for Fulham XI (should not be considered the same as Fulham, since it included players on trial and not signed). However, I think that the first task now is to show, with reliable references, that the player meets WP:NFOOTBALL, i.e., "played in a fully professional league". He doesn't appear to have played in the league for Fulham, Bayern, Arsenal or Ajax. If Masha.Ukraina has newspaper sources that establish this level notability, then the article definitely has a place on Wikipedia and we can help improve it and make it neutral. No longer a penguin (talk) 09:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
@Graeme Bartlett: Hi Graeme,thanks for looking further really appreciate it! Firstly, I have managed to reach his Manager and just to let you know, The individuals who had written/published articles that were not authorized by the above mentioned athlete has in fact been sued for misrepresentation, false publication and defamation. And they won the case against them. No interview was ever given on the players part nor did he allow any photo to be taken of him for publication. His manager works with some very big named players that i am not at liberty to mention as I agreed to a NDA(non-disclosure agreement) As far as they are concern, anyone who defames the athlete, claiming he is a hoax will be liable to a defamation lawsuit against them. And he assures me that they never lose. As i have been advised, evidence that is found online does not hold up in court as opposed to official documents. All that matters is that he is on the relevant databases such as CBF and Fifa and is in fact a professional footballer. Other databases are privately run organizations and do not affiliate legally or officially with those sport governing bodies. So everything that any website can say doesn't matter. All that matters in the eyes of the court is that he is an official registered player and where his player pass has been. It would be worse for any individual not officially involved in this field of expertise as they would also be liable for a defamation suit as it shows that the person is maliciously intending harm toward the athletes reputation. I was also advised to be careful with you as they are doing a full check up now on this and the individuals concerned. Quick Note: As per wikipedia tutorial guidelines, the minimum threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia material is governed by the principle of verifiability.- not by the truth. In other words, it is essential that it is possible to establish whether the information that was entered in the text of the page identifies where it comes from, irrespective of whether or not certain information submitted by such a source is true.
To help ease tensions, i have said that you are helping me. If you need to reach me on a personal level please let me know. thanks ````

Category:Petroleum companies of Russia
Thank you mentioning it. Yes, {{db-author}} was mistake and I should to use {{db-g7}} instead. However, it does not change the fact that this should be speedy deleted as the author themselves almost immediately empted this newly created category and redirected its only parent category which was also newly created. It was clear that the category was created accidentally and keeping it was not the intention of the author. I think that reviewing request should be not only formal but also should take into account the content of the issue. However, also another editor nominated this category for speedy deletion, so I hope the issue could be solved now. Thank you. Beagel (talk) 06:32, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Beagel: db-g7 is not right either, as you are guessing the intention of the creator. Instead use {{db-catempty}} which is a C1 reason. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:02, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- {{db-catempty}} is not the best solution for a recent and obvious mistake as its says "have been unpopulated for at least four days." Why to leave it stay for the four days if it is obvious mistake just duplicating the existing category, and nobody will not populate it (at least nobody who as understanding of the categorization system). I fully agree that we should have rules and follow the rules, but we have to have also common sense. Anyway, do you please will delete this category based on your own suggestion (if I understand you correctly, you are not opposing the need to delete it but you are opposing the rationale).

Graeme, I'm going to ask you to reconsider your G12 decline at Draft:Saudis in USA Organization. I think it's clear that it is a copyright violation but without evidence of permission, policy is to delete it not let it be debated. It is an organization and we don't necessarily know that the editor actually has permission from the organization itself to use its own text for this draft. We shouldn't presume anything about copyright violations and if put in mainspace, people will TNT it and take it out anyways. Other than one editor, the MFD discussion is also noting the copyright violation. Unfortunately the copyright goes to the first edit so there's nothing to keep. If someone there thinks the topic is notable, as discussed, a single stub can be created. I think deleting all versions and restarting with a single stub is a better solution to leaving it to the whim of an MFD discussion that could go anywhere. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:12, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey Graeme Bartlett,
It turned out that the main file this one was a redundant copy of was a copyvio (deleted F9). So this one is also. You got to it before I could change it from F1 to F9. Could you delete it?

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Article One requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1319157815001226#b0095. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

DELETION OF LONDON STEVERSON ARTICLE, TAG?
Greetings Graeme Bartlett - My apologies for creating an article London Steverson on a subject that had already been deleted per a discussion. Normally, when you attempt to create such an article a tag first appears letting you know that an article of that name has already been deleted. Such a tag does not appear when you do a Wikipedia search for London Steverson. The editor is simply informed that no article on London Steverson exists, but that the editor can create one. DO YOU KNOW HOW WE CAN TAG LONDON STEVERSON LIKE DELETED ARTICLES ON OTHER SUBJECTS, SO AN ARTICLE ON HIM IS NOT AGAIN CREATED IN FUTURE? Steverson does have some relation to US Coast Guard Academy and African American history, being one of the first 3 African American Graduates of the Academy and the first such graduate to retire from the service, so it is likely that otherwise the article shall be created again in future. I have now researched the history, and the article has already been twice again created since its original deletion in 2010. I was also unaware of the controversy related to Steverson's service as an administrative law judge.Albiet (talk)Albiet
- (talk page watcher) Actually, London Steverson is tagged as having been deleted. An all-caps version (LONDON STEVERSON) is not, because that wouldn't be a proper BLP article title format. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 19:48, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but when I type London Steverson (which is how the deleted article was of course titled, not in caps) into the Wikipedia search box, I still don't see any tag. Again, the page that appears simply states that the article can be created, so I AM STILL REQUESTING OF GRAEME BARTLETT THAT HE PROVIDE INFORMATION TO ME ON MATTER, IF HE IS ABLE. Am I missing something?Albiet (talk)Albiet
- Graeme Bartlett - PLEASE DISREGARD THE ABOVE. IT APPEARS THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY TAGGED THE ARTICLE AS PREVIOUSLY DELETED. AS I NOTED WHEN I CREATED THE LAST ARTICLE, THIS TAG WAS NOT PRESENT. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT I COULD HAVE MISSED IT, BUT I DON'T SEE HOW, IT IS QUITE PROMINENT. THANK YOU.Albiet (talk)Albiet
- @Albiet: It is also possible to Salt an article so that it cannot be created. However in this sort of case it is not needed as it is not recreated many many times. Also if you think there is new information that make having this topic worthwhile, you can write a Draft:London Steverson article (or I can restore the content to that name) and then have a WP:Deletion review to consider if the article should now exist. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:32, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Graeme Bartlett - Thank you for your response and the information, but I agree with you that more drastic measures than the tag are likely unnecessary. Again, it is possible that in haste I just overlooked an earlier tag, and I doubt too that many other editors are likely to do this. I don't have any new information on the subject either. I just thought based on his connection to the Academy's history and African American history firsts that he warranted a brief article, but the community has already debated the matter and disagrees, and there also seems to be some controversy associated with the former LTCD Steverson. Anyway, thank you for your courtesy in responding to me.Albiet (talk)Albiet

Vandalising other work
DO NOT undo categories containing the word "suburbs" by cleaning them out, or reverting pages to these until the discussions about their names are resolved by independent persons. Wikipedia relies on consensus to make decisions on what to do. When it becomes apparent that your edits are controversial you must stop and talk about them and do your research on the meaning and definition of the words used or the grouping of like places as that definition and having a consistent approach. You have not declared your interest in the project and do not reside in the state concerned. Your interest should be in improving Wikipedia articles and not vandalism.Mmunji1 (talk) 07:26, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Continuous flow of electric current
Are you sure that the current would exist a few days if you have zinc and copper immersed in an electrolyte without the aid of an external voltage?JUSTIN JOHNS (talk) 06:51, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- @JUSTIN JOHNS: This of course depends on how big the zinc plate is and what the electrolyte is, and whether oxygen is getting into the liquid, and how much current the circuit draws. For the zinc-carbon cell with zinc chloride electrolyte, it may output 1000 mAH. So to run 100 hours (about 4 days) you have to draw less than 10 milliamps. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:05, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
@Graeme Bartlett:Okay.I would like to know if we have :
- Zinc
- Copper
- Oxygen or air
- Electrolyte(Nacl or K2SO4 etc)
Can we produce a current for 4 days without the aid of an external voltage?
Size of zinc plate is not a problem but I would like to know if we need any other materials — Preceding unsigned comment added by JUSTIN JOHNS (talk • contribs) 06:28, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- @JUSTIN JOHNS: You are going to have to have a container too, and instead of copper, carbon is a better choice, and often manganese dioxide will be used as well. Read Zinc–carbon battery, and Leclanché cell and Zinc–air battery to see what your options are. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:01, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
@Graeme Bartlett:Yeah thanks for that.I'll try the experiment indeed.JUSTIN JOHNS (talk) 10:13, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

FFD closes
Hi Graeme Bartlett. I see you've been working through the backlog at FFD and closing some old discussions. There are many admins willing to wade through the thick weeds of FFD to sort everything out so thank you for doing that. I have a suggestion though. Perhaps it might be a good idea to link to the relevant FFD discussion in your edit sum when you remove a file to prevent stuff like this in which you were almost immediately reverted. It might also be helpful to add {{oldffdfull}} to the file talk pages with an explanation of your close, so that anyone checking can find the link to the relevant discussion. FWIW, i was going to jump in a re-remove the file form Iran national football team, but it might be better if you do since you are the closing admin. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:27, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- I have deleted the redirect which seems to have made the appearance vanish. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:47, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- I saw that and thank you for doing that. Someone might still add File:Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran.png to the team articles, so it might help to add the "oldffdfull" to the file's talk page with a link to the FFD discussion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:02, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of Lithuania national beach soccer team
Hi Graeme, you recently deleted this page I created. You deleted it because it was a "Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion". It is true it was a recreation, however the deletion discussion of the original article in 2015 claimed that since Lithuania had not played in international competitions, it was not noteable and should be deleted. However as I pointed out on the talk page when it was nominated for speedy deletion this time around, the original discussion is not true at all, Lithuania competed internationally in the 2008 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as well as other internationals I listed, unlike the original 2015 article which did not mention any of this. Therefore I believe it is justified to be reinstated. The Lithuanian Football Federation and Beach Soccer Worldwide, beach soccer's governing body, has the teams documented on their website also. Thanks. TurboGUY (talk) 13:25, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- @TurboGUY: I restored this to Draft:Lithuania national beach soccer team while you ask about this at WP:DRV. The 2008 FIFA World Cup qualifiers was before the AFD so hopefully voters where aware of that. Anyway DRV should get a fresh set of opinions and people that might know about the topic. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:52, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
The absurd redirect
I apologize for mis-tagging it as recently-created. I've tagged it again as G6 as it would clearly be an uncontroversial deletion since it's an orphaned redirect with no traffic and an absurdly long search query with superfluous punctuation. Feedback 13:55, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
- It is best not to delete. When I do a google search, I can see this exact piece of text is actually in use by Wikipedia mirrors, and so it is required for attribution. Removing it it cause copyright infringement. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:59, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks @Smokefoot:, I need feedback to keep going right. From Sciencedirect I had 1400 matches against "nickelate", and another indexing services seem to think I want nickel when I type nickelate, which doesn't help me. Anyway do you have a recommendation for an inorganic compound class article for me to work on next? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Similar topics we don't have yet are niobate 11102, ruthenate 1589, perruthenate 844, rhodate 163, palladate324 , osmate 903, platinate 893, iridate 242, bismuthate 1570 (counts are sciencedirect papers mentioning the word) Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:30, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, confusing as heck. The materials folks use "ate" to mean oxides. Cuprates such as [CuMe2]- are a big deal in organic synthesis and 1-2-3 YBa2Cu3Ox is a big deal in the materials area. Maybe some book has an discussion. I checked Goldbook for nickelate but there was nothing. It mentions cuprate "...an organocuprate Li+[CuMe2]− lithium dimethylcuprate ..." (http://goldbook.iupac.org/O04328.html). I am traveling and cant really help for a while. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:29, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Help with AWB
Hi Graeme, thanks for allowing me to use AWB. Now, the only reason I wanted it was to edit airport destination lists quicker. However, now that I have it, I don't know how I can do it using this tool. Maybe you could help me? For example, in every airport destination list that has a flight to Orlando, Orlando International Airport is listed as "Orlando-International". If I wanted to change this to say "Orlando-MCO" instead of "Orlando-International" on every airport page's destination list, how would I do this? You can see an example here: Kansas City International Airport (look at the destination list). If you can't help me, do you know anyone that can?

Thanks for uploading File:Bingham High School logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:25, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Question about FFD close
Hi Graeme Bartlett. I have a question about your close to Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 April 7#File:Surinam FA.png, use File:Surinamese Football Association.svg. You deleted the png file, but made no mention about the non-free use of the svg file. The reason I am asking is because an editor has added the svg file to Suriname national football team. I removed the file per WP:NFCCE because the non-free use rationale required by WP:NFCC#10c was lacking, but it's possible that the file will be re-added to the article or to other team articles. As I stated in the FFD discussion, I don't feel a valid non-free use rationale for the individual team articles can be written for this logo (regardless of format) because of No. 17 of WP:NFC#UUI and previous consensuses reached at FFD regarding the usage of similar logos. Does your close extend to the use of the svg image in individual team articles? If it does, I am wondering if you would mind clarifying that so that I can make reference to it on the svg's file talk page. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:22, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: I have added a note to the file description. I think that the use is a bit beyond the FFD that was held earlier, so I will not claim that is the reason for the not. But your justification is fine. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 00:51, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking a closer look at this Graeme. I appreciate the note, but maybe adding something to the file's talk page such as {{Oldffdfull}} or a post with your signature might also help. Content added to file pages cannot really be signed, so it's possible someone might just remove the note. Talk page posts tend to be harder to remove per WP:TPO and much easier to re-add if someone removes it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:58, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi again Graeme. Not sure if these are on your watchlist, but the note you added was (as I feared might happen) removed with this edit after rationales were re-added for some individual team articles. I reverted based upon the FFD discussion, but if you feel my revert was incorrect or that further discussion is needed then please revert. I also removed the file from Suriname national football team based upon the FFD, but if that was incorrect then please revert as well. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:20, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Daniela Campuzano
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Daniela Campuzano requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 10:42, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Questions about an undeleted article
I was surprised to discover that 9 days ago you restored the deleted article Clearlove, with the log reason given as "requested by Prisencolin". I have several question about this:
- Why did you restore it? Do you think that the deletion was invalid? If it was, then why? If it wasn't, then how does an editor "requesting" undeletion of a valid deletion justify doing so?
- Why did you not consult me, as the blocking administrator, before undoing an administrative action I had made? Or, if you judged that this was one of the rare occasions when reverting another administrator's action without consultation was justifiable, why did you not at least inform me that you had done so? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:22, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- @JamesBWatson: Since the article was G5 speedy deleted, if someone actually wants to take responsibility for the article that they did not write, then I think they can improve it. I do not think that Prisencolin had anything to do with Zhipengyang or Wikipedia masterr, he did made a small change prior to deletion, but he has failed to improve the article since undeletion as I expected. Most G13, G7, G5 undeletes I would not treat as controversial, or consider that the original deletion was invalid at all. If I thought the deletion was obviously wrong I would have let you know, but it was not. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:36, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Where do you get the idea that an editor can "take responsibility" for a page created by a block-evading editor and have it undeleted on demand? Is there some guideline or policy somewhere that supports that, or is it just your own opinion? Since there are editors who strongly disagree with the very existence of speedy deletion criterion G5, taking that view effectively means that any one of those editors can unilaterally undermine the consensus which is responsible for the existence of that criterion. Also, you say that the editor asking for undeletion "think[s] they can improve it", but improving the article is not the issue, as the deletion was not because the article was poor, but because it was created by a block-evading editor. G13 and G7 are completely different matters, and there another editor "taking responsibility" for a page does make sense. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:47, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- Graeme, those were not rhetorical questions. Can you please say whether you believe that there are Wikipedia policies or guidelines that justify what you did? Also, I see that you say that "If [you] thought the deletion was obviously wrong [you] would have let [me] know", but isn't it even more important to let me know, or better still to consult me in advance, if you reverse an administrative action which you do not think was wrong? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:00, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- I was treating these as a comment. These are the policies I use for this: Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Undeletion, combined with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. If the page had a G5 tag before deletion, other user could edit it (to improve it) and render it inapplicable. But once it is deleted they will need it restored to do that.

On my way to AWB
Since you've declined my past two AWB requests, I'd like to come to you personally so I wouldn't sub-consciously adminshop. What should I do to improve my chances of receiving AWB permissions? I have gone through nearly all of the manual of style instructions (took a good amount of hours). What should I do now? Thanks in advance, Dat GuyTalkContribs 11:48, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- @DatGuy: I suppose you should have some examples of your editing that show you can apply the rules correctly. I seem to remember there were numerous wrong styles of numbers used in your previous examples. Have you got some new examples of adding substantial text? Most of the edits I have seen so far are Huggle automated and do not help inform of your new style knowledge. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:57, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- I prefer doing more minor edits, such as adding images (another example), I made Didier Drogba a Good Article, minor edits such as this one, typos (another example), fixing good/bad citations, and finally removing useless tags. I've also copy-edited two articles, but cannot find the links. Dat GuyTalkContribs 14:02, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Graeme. A while ago you deleted the above draft as a G7, but actually it had been substantially changed by me (NPOV and references) after the "one editor" created it. The editor copied and pasted it into mainspace at Michael J. Roads with some changes, and then requested deletion of the draft. I'd like to restore and history merge the draft with the mainspace article, but thought I should check with you first in case you have some objection.—Anne Delong (talk) 14:34, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Wiki-Link-Validator
Hi, I realise Wiki-Link-Validator may not have fit under A7, but are you sure it doesn't fall into G11? I've taken it to AfD, but it's written in such a manner that it could be G11able. Anarchyte (work | talk) 10:17, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Anarchyte: G11 would apply if there is nothing in there that is not promotional text. In this case some is neutrally written. Sure the purpose may be promotion, but that does not make it automatically a G11 candidate. An AFD is better if you think it is non notable software, otherwise after G11 anyone can recreate it.

Wok to Walk
Hi,
You declined a CSD at Wok to Walk with edit summary "speedy delete declined, no evidence that Graham87 is blocked or banned". As his edit summary said, Graham87 imported edits that were requested by another user (one of the sock puppets). Are you saying that counts as "substantial edits by others"? As it was also tagged as G11, I take it you don't think it qualifies for that either? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:54, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Rhododendrites: I've gone ahead and deleted it under G5. Graham87 14:22, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- I was basically letting the importer Rhododendrites take responsibility. If the importer thought it was OK then G11 and G5 are not appropriate. But I see that G5 is now considered. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:55, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Waterford Minor Football Championship
I am confused as to why you have deleted this article. Wikipedia has many similar articles about Gaelic games competitions in various counties.

I think this article should re-instituted and the work of the various contributors recognized. Pmunited (talk) 13:21, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

LavaBaron's editing restrictions
I am writing this message to you because you put yourself down as a regular admin at DYK.
Per this AN thread, LavaBaron is given editing restrictions on DYK. Any hook nominated or reviewed by LavaBaron must be reviewed by a second editor before it may be promoted to the main page. The restrictions are reproduced below as follows:
- A DYK article nomination or hook submitted by LavaBaron must be reviewed and accepted by 2 other editors before it may be promoted.
- Any DYK nomination reviewed by LavaBaron must also be reviewed and accepted by 1 other editor before it may be promoted.
- Any additional reviews by other editors, which are mandated by this restriction, shall count towards the QPQ of that editor.
- (To balance the maths) For each article submitted by LavaBaron to DYK, 2 QPQ reviews by LavaBaron are required, at least 1 of which shall be a nomination that had not yet been accepted by another editor.
- These restrictions shall initially last for a period of 3 months. At the end of the period, this restriction shall be reviewed.

Suriname national team badge
Greetings, I hope this message finds you well. I was asked to talk to you regarding the badge for the Suriname national team that was removed from the info box. It states that the license on the badge was insufficient and that the discussion had been closed. The badge of the SVB has been the badge on the shirt of Suriname for almost 20 years now when it replaced the previous crest. It is also the logo of the SVB Hoofdklasse. There are 20 football associations in Suriname that are members of the SVB. The SVB however holds the FIFA license and Suriname were one of the first countries in the Americas to be recognized by FIFA. The crest of the SVB should be applicable for the Association itself, the men's, women's and youth national teams. This is the case with almost all national football teams across Wikipedia, I don't see why the situation should be treated any different in the case of Suriname it is the badge on their shirt after all. Best regards, (Subzzee (talk) 13:44, 20 July 2016 (UTC))
- Thanks for your well wishes user:Subzzee. The issue that needs to be addressed here is the minimal use of logos and badges. Through many discussions in the past, the non free league images can be used for the league, but not for the teams in the league, as that is not minimal. Our motive for use is for identification. Since it identifies the league, that would be justified, but it does not identify teams, so that justification does not work. If you want to get the decision overridden, you can start a new discussion at Wikipedia:Files for discussion to ask that more fair use be allowed. Other pages to read are Wikipedia:Fair use overuse and Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. This last one we cannot change. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:18, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Vallyara
Hi there, I noticed that you removed the speedy deletion tag and declined the speedy deletion request on Vallyara because of tagging the article too quickly after creation. Four hours after the article was created (when you removed the tag), the article still met the speedy deletion criteria. I think it would have been appropriate to leave a message on my talk page to let me know that you removed the tag as a courtesy and as a fellow editor. I have re-added the tag so we can get another admin/editor's opinion and they can evaluate it under the speedy deletion criteria. Please let me know if you have any concerns. Thanks, —Latchem 18:07, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- Yes adding it a bit later is the thing to do. I say 30 minutes is fine, but some others think 10 minutes is enough. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:06, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
Nomination of Odsonne Édouard for deletion
Hi, this is an act of desperation. I would greatly appreciate it, if you could help me on this one. The article about Odsonne Édouard is/will be good enough to keep. Your opinion would unarguably matter. However, I'm not forcing you to do this, although it could be the decisive comment under that particular topic.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Odsonne Édouard is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Odsonne Édouard (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Hurrygane (talk) 15:49, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
Can you close this (FREAKAZOiD)? It appears all the active admins participated in the discussion. Valoem talk contrib 04:04, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

good work
On 7 August 2013, you moved an article on Southwest Airlines Flight 345 from the deletion bin to a user's page. This was a wise move. The article was deleted because it was thought to be a minor incident not a hull loss (which is when a plane is scrapped). I now see that the plane WAS a hull loss. Therefore, there is clear reason to have the article as flights that crash and the plane destroyed is deemed notable.
I came across this flight after seeing it mentioned in the Southwest Airlines article but without a link, unlike other Southwest Airlines accidents.
Thank you for your foresight. Be wise and do not delete articles without careful thought. Preserve it somehow so it can be rescued, if appropriate, later. Usernamen1 (talk) 02:34, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Edit reversion...
This diff you reverted as "the work of the subject being relevant". Did you happen to look at the content of the blogs before you reverted the edit, because I did. The first hasn't been updated in over two years. The second clearly states "This is the PERSONAL BLOG of...", and thus has nothing professionally relevant about it - the top item is her airing a personal issue. HNNAfrica I can't explain - it has summaries of news in posts, but clicking on headlines just puts one back at the blog. Lastly, Soundcloud, nothing dated? I have no idea what to think. The funny thing is, if this was anyone else than a minor celebrity, these would be inappropriate links to personal material. What actual notable journalist has to run her media on Blogspot and Soundcloud? MSJapan (talk) 16:11, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi. When you moved Talk:Simio to Simio, you may have thought you were streamlining matters for a new user who'd simply followed an unnecessary path to article creation. But the reason he created it at Talk:Simio is that Simio was protected against creation, following numerous deletions, including a full discussion.

Thanks for chipping in with blocks on spambots. For blocking editors whose only 'contributions' are hits on the blacklist, we now have the canned block-reason '{{spamblacklistblock}}'.

File:Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran.png
Hi Graeme Bartlett. A while back you closed Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 17#File:Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran.png as keep for Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran and remove from the individual team articles, so I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at User talk:GTVM92#File:Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran.png when you get a spare moment or two. GTVM92 has been adding the file to Iran national football team with edits here, here, here and here. GTVM92 also removed the file from the federation's article here. No edit sums were for any of the edits, but GTVM92 seems to have some awareness of WP:NFCC because of this, this and this. FWIW, I left edit sums with links to the relevant FFD discussion here, here, here each of the times I reverted and also left a user talk page messages here and here for further clarification. GTVM92 was also reverted by another editor here. Looking at GTVM92's user talk, there seem to be quite a number of notifications posted about image use and GTVM92 doesn't seem to be responding to anyone posting on his user talk. I saw only two replies from GTVM92 and they were both in a language other than English. Scanning through GTVM927s contributions shows that they pretty much never leave an edit sum, so I am wondering whether English ability could possibly be an issue here. Anyway, please advice on how best to proceed. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:47, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection
Hello, Graeme Bartlett. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
- Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
- A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Nickel nitrite
I noticed your expansion of nickel nitrite. Now that is a super-esoteric material and the corresponding article was created seemingly randomly (the pattern of user:Thricecube). Almost no literature exists on nickel nitrite per se. If you are searching for topics/compounds to write about in the inorganic area, one suggestion isto ask around and maybe some colleagues, could suggest topics that are more suited for your energy and talents. In fact we could develop a wish list.--Smokefoot (talk) 14:28, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Smokefoot: you are welcome to make suggestions to me about what to write on. The nickel nitrite was not any extra effort as I came across it in research for User:Graeme Bartlett/compounds of nickel (which is almost ready to go live once I sort out the Mellor references in the Ternary chalcogenides table). But now I look at that I did not even mention nickel nitrite there. My original plan for chemical writing here was to write about molecules found in stars or in space. So I ended up writing argonium, but I have also been sidetracked on to molecules that push the limit of believability or ridiculousness. (eg dihelium, neon compounds, argon compounds (my current effort), Nitrogen pentafluoride and solid nitrogen). My planned list of what to write is in User:Graeme Bartlett/to do and what I wrote before on chemistry is at User:Graeme Bartlett/Chemistry pages if you want to see how I write. So please Smokefoot, do make a suggestion for my next chemical or molecular article! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:31, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

- @Rehman: Yes, you created it, and then tagged it for deletion: with this edit summary (Added deletion tag: Article strongly contradicts WP:NOTABILITY). The entire textual content you wrote said:
"The Empire Tower is a residential complex which two identical towers of 33 and 37 floors. Both towers consists a total of only 100 units with two units on each floor. The floor area of each apartment range from 1,800 sq ft (170 m2) to 4,000 sq ft (370 m2). The construction cost of this project is estimated to be around US$24 million. The project is constructed where an old theatre once stood.". You can have this undeleted on a change of mind. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:37, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- @Graeme Bartlett: Yes, please, if you don't mind. It so happened to be one of the tallest buildings in Sri Lanka, so it is in fact notable. Thank you! Rehman 09:46, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Doesn't work.Xx236 (talk) 08:44, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- it redirects to Motorways of Pakistan, but the anchor is missing. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:45, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- Another problem - there probably exists short M10, not mentioned in Motorways of Pakistan.Xx236 (talk) 08:48, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
- The earlier version of the page matched that entry closely. If you have some more references about another M10, you can update Motorways of Pakistan. There does not look to be enough info for a standalone article yet. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:16, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with my first DYK, it has been "promoted". I really appreciate your careful review and help improving the wording, and I'm tickled that an article I worked on might soon be on the front page. Smmurphy(Talk) 20:07, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
