HELP I am being staked by User:Kinu

I have submitted an article about the NTU http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Time_Unit

User Kinu has declared all of my contribution as as a blatant and obvious hoax.

I am not sure what I can do (if anything) please help and make kinu stop.

Hi Dale! I've looked at the situation, and I have a couple comments to make:

It does not appear that you are being stalked. Kinu believes that your article meets Wikipedia deletion policies, and has a good faith reason why. When an editor has a good faith reason to believe an article meets the deletion policy - even if other editors might disagree - that editor may start a deletion discussion about that article. The discusion usually goes for seven days so that the community can debate the issue and come to a consensus about whether the article should be kept or deleted. That is what is now taking place with your article.
After starting that discussion, Kinu believed from further discussion that the article was a blatant hoax, and tagged the article with a speedy deletion notice. While other editors may remove the speedy deletion tag from the article, the article's creator cannot. When you removed the notice (on multiple occasions), Kinu correctly reverted that removal, and properly cautioned you about not doing it again.
If you believe the speedy deletion is incorrect, you can note your reason why on the talk page (which I see you have already done). If you believe the article does not meet the deletion policies, you can say why at the AfD page (which I see you also already done). You should now wait for other editors to comment. The speedy deletion tag will be resolved soon (actually, I will be removing it for other reasons). The deletion discussion debate will run over the course of seven days.
I see that the article is about a term that you invented. I strongly suggest you look at the following two policies: WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Neologism.

I hope I answered you questions. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Singularity42 (talk) 21:55, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

Thank you for your help. I think I under stand now. The error was mine. I did not know about original research. I will delete my login now.

Peter Pepper (Retard-O-Bot)

I have made substantial changes to the page as well as adding ELEVEN sources... WHY is this not enough to keep a page on Wikipedia? I have seen some BS pages on this site that dont make ANY sense... yet I spend hours doing research on this and it gets deleted! — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeisterXfahrer (talk • contribs) 02:50, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article was deleted pursuant to a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Pepper (2nd nomination), where a consensus determined that he did not meet the guidelines for an article. The next step is not to re-create the article, as that is contrary to consensus. Instead, you need to raise it at deletion review. Singularity42 (talk) 02:54, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, Peter Pepper issues

I have changed the page content since the discussion between the admins on its deletion. I though I provided plently of information and citations. I dont understand why its come under such scrutiny. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeisterXfahrer (talk • contribs) 03:37, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Maxim Garant Rousseau

Sorry I ran out of time to complete this page before it was deleted. Maxim Garant Rousseau is a professional downhill skateboarder sponsored by Orangatang Wheels, Loaded Boards, Fullbag Skateboards, Free For All Skateshop, and Gencola. He is responsible for much of the growth of the sport in Eastern Canada and compete world wide in races as an ambassador of the sport.

Please allow me the chance to finish a page dedicated to him. -Alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonguelb (talk • contribs) 16:28, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You should leave a message for deleting administrator, Kinu, and ask for the article to be userfied so you can work on it until it is ready to be added the to main namespace articles. However, you should keep the WP:ATHLETE guidelines in mind for notability. Singularity42 (talk) 01:57, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, was I the one who tagged this article? I can't see how I was originally invovled with this article... Singularity42 (talk) 02:00, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please slow down just a little on the deletions

You're right almost of the time. But Professor at Harvard is an indication of possible importance. More information was of course needed, but if indeed a full professor, I can't imagine that anyone in that such a position would turn out to be actually notable under WP:PROF. I think the Prod was inappropriate, also, unless you were unable to verify. How can you say does not meet WP:PROF when you have not checked for information? A BLP prod would however have been appropriate, since there were no refs. . I left a specific note to the editor about writing such seriously incomplete articles--I think that's better than the formal notices. I shall now look myself for sources. DGG ( talk ) 16:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just being a professor at Harvard does not make one notable. On the other hand, I agree that my PROD was too quick. Singularity42 (talk) 16:48, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

right, it doesn't intrinsically, but I do not think you will find one single full professor there who is not. Their own internal standards are much higher than our WP:PROF, (we want an authority in their field , they typically want a world-wide recognized authority, or even the world-wide authority) and it is normally trivial to demonstrate it. If you like, consider it a challenge. (In her case, there are enough books, & I will add some reviews, to meet WP:AUTHOR also.) DGG ( talk ) 16:59, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mind giving Ashley Smith inquest a look?

I'm flummoxed I can't watch all of both documentaries. Maybe it's posted somewhere other than on CBC. Probably not. It's much better now, but needs to be built better to represent the events after, especially more substantial new coverage and coverage of the documentarian efforts and response. If it weren't for the ongoing investigation, this story would be best told as articles on the two documentaries. BusterD (talk) 16:24, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put aside some time later this week to give it a proper review. (I'm only doing minor edits and maintenance today and tomorrow while I take some breaks at work.) Singularity42 (talk) 17:13, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No rush. It seems unlikely to nominated for deletion THIS week. Thanks! BusterD (talk) 19:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My proposed changes can be found at User:Singularity42/proposed change to Ashley Smith inquest. Given the awkward page title, I'm keeping a link here for my own reference. Singularity42 (talk) 20:23, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Luci Pollreis

Please be more careful with your speedy deletion tagging. As DGG pointed out, DB-A7 is not used when someone "isn't notable". DB-A7 is for articles which have no claim of significance. It's a much much lower threshold than notability. On this particular article, the author said that the subject "was an Austrian Righteous among the Nations." A claim of significance doesn't get any more clear than that.--v/r - T P 20:04, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was an honest mistake. For some reason, I missed the honorific at the beginning of the article. Had I seen that, not only would I have not tagged it for A7, but I believe it is a valid claim of notability. It was simple human error. Singularity42 (talk) 20:06, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As an aside, I think my editing history, experience, and discussions with newer editors about CSD tagging shows I know what A7 applies and doesn't apply to. No problem pointing out my mistake, like in this case, but I really don't need A7 explained to me. I'm usually explaining to other editors why I contest their A7 tag. Singularity42 (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2011 (UTC) [reply]

Had I not seen DGG's comments from three days ago, I may not have even said anything.--v/r - T P 20:20, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but that was a deletion policy issue, versus CSD. I had PROD'd an article for deletion due to notability. However, given something said in the article, there was probably something in existence (but not mentioned in the article) that could easily have been found that would have met the relevant notability requirements. In that unique situation, I 100% agreed with him that I inappropriate PROD'd that article too quickly. Singularity42 (talk) 20:24, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well then my bad. The way I read DGG's message, I assumed (incorrectly apparently) that he was disputing a CSD A7 tag.--v/r - T P 21:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! We all make mistakes! (including, obviously, me) :P Singularity42 (talk) 21:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ludger Fischer

Dear Singularity42, Thanks a lot for your advise on the new created article "Ludger Fischer". It is true that the topic is myself which is not absolutely in line with the wiki rules, but I took it from the German wiki which was created by someone I don't know. It is online in the German Wiki for years and many independent contributions have been made. So the content is absolutely objective and independently written. You and some other editors have already worked on the "English" article and I would be very glad if you could keep it. You have already detected that the translation was not done by a machine but it was done by someone who is not a native English speaker. Perhaps you could help to make it better. Thanks again for your help and advise! All the best, Ludger Fischer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drludgerfischer (talk • contribs) 17:02, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Just to be clear, I never had an intention to suggest the article should be deleted, although I think something should be done with the article to make sure it complies with one of the criteria at WP:ACADEMICS. I would suggest two things:

Read WP:Conflict of interest and make sure you are familiar with the dos and don'ts of editing an article that is about you. There's no rule saying you can't, provided you are clear in acknowleding that you are the subject of the article, and that any edits are made with a neutral point of view (although that can be very difficult when the article is about you).
Right now the article only links to articles written by you, which is a problem. What we need are reliable sources written by other people about you. Those should be added to the article.

Hope that helps! I'll leave fixing the language for those better at copy-editing. Singularity42 (talk) 00:31, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

hi

hi actualy i am new to wikipedia pls hel me how can i improove my page... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikkieychawla (talk • contribs) 06:06, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NTC

It had been tagged {{db-g6|rationale=To move [[National Transitional Council (Libya)]] back to this namespace}} which asserts non-controversial move by User:Russavia. I had no idea that this was not the case, no malice intended. It was virtually the last edit I made last night, hence the lack of a reply, apologies Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:29, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed as much (both the lack of malice and the fact that you were gone for the night). That's why I went to ANI, so that another admin could restore the page. Singularity42 (talk) 11:49, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Server problem

I dont know English so much... my problem is when i try to go on to the wikipedia in spanish leanguage and appears this screen... What is suppose that i must to do?

the photo screen that appears print my problem — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeoCloaking (talk • contribs) 00:32, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be able to access the English Wikipedia, given that you were able to leave me a message. The screenshot indicates that you went to es.wikipedia.org, which is the address for the Spanish Wikipedia. The address for the English Wikipedia is en.wikipedia.org. That should fix the problem.

Ottawa Renegades all time records and statistics

Regarding the proposed deletion of this page ... say what? Every other CFL team has a all time records page?

Why don't the Ottawa Renegades have one? Especially since the team will be returning to the league next year? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ottawarene (talk • contribs) 20:44, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that every other CFL team had a similar page. I would withdraw my proposal, but I see you have already contested it. Singularity42 (talk) 20:47, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

I am sorry
