Hi. There was a note on a recent AfD you closed: NOTE for closer: if this AfD is closed as 'redirect', please remember to include the {{R from school}} on the redirect page. Please remember to do this because it populates an important category. Cheers, and all the best for 2012! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:09, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Oh my mistake, I remembered on some but I suppose I may have forgotten others - are there any that I can fix? Best regards mate, Arbitrarily0(talk)05:00, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
File:Nelson Denis.jpg
I notice you just restored this file after a request for undeletion. The user in question should have brought this to a deletion review, as it was not uncontroversial. I assume you're not aware of the fact that the photo in question has been the subject of two extremely heated and protracted PUF discussions Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2011 November 18, and a PUF in June, and that the result of both discussions was delete. The OTRS cited by this user is immaterial; his claim that he took this photo is not credible and has not been accepted. Deletion was appealed to the administrator who twice deleted it, Fastily, with the OTRS letter reprinted in full, and the appeal was not granted.[1] Nelsondenis248 raised the issue again at AN, and was turned down again.[2] (See Nelsondenis248's comments at 20:41, 3 December 2011 and responses.) The photo should not just be deleted, but salted. If the user wishes to appeal the deletion, he should go to DRV with appropriate notice to Fastily. ScottyBerg (talk) 15:06, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
This article was created by me, but unfortunately I missed the deletion discussion (was on vacation). The contents of the article were cut and pasted from IQ and the Wealth of Nations to enhance the readability of that article. Some editors thought that the chart in question should be deleted altogether from IQ and the Wealth of Nations, but as a compromise it was agreed that the chart could be moved to a separate article[3]. None of this background came up in the deletion discussion, because none of the involved editors participated, so the deletion was made without knowledge about the purpose of the article and its connections to other articles.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Xbox 720, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- ferret (talk) 16:42, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
I have declined that speedy deletion because with six reliable sources the article at least meets WP:GNG and it does look different from the 2007 version. And I've also addressed the contradiction issue, see article talk page. De728631 (talk) 17:03, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Reconsidering AfD: Coherent (company)
Some time ago, you closed the deletion discussion on Coherent (company) with the result: "delete". I am the original author of the article; unfortunately, some sales rep turned it into an advertisement at some point, which probably triggered the deletion discussion. I am asking you to undelete the article, on the following grounds:
It is a large company (NASDAQ listed, about $1 billion revenue per year). OK, by itself not enough to prove notability, I know.
The article title was not well chosen; the official name is "Coherent, Inc."; searching that on Google will provide more relevant results.
As a business-to-business company, there isn't so much to be found in the general media, but I have found some:
If the article is undeleted, I'd start by moving it to the title Coherent, Inc. and reverting to the pre-spam version.
Han-Kwang (t) 16:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Han-Kwang! I have restored the article, which is now at Coherent, Inc.. You seem to have showed sufficient notability, especially since the deletion discussion did not address these sources. Thanks for doing all this research, Arbitrarily0(talk)18:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.
I hope you are well. I've just been advised that the CTrader page has been deleted by you. As far as I can tell that was based on someone's comments along the lines of 'another forex company / scam etc.' I don't work for them in any capacity but use their products so I want to help them as English is not their first language. Firstly it is most definitely not a scam. They supply products to forex trading companies and don't offer anything to individuals. I totally agree Wiki is not a forum for advertising but surely a company can register what services they offer and if that is not the case it strucks me as information discrimination against smaller firms that have not reached global / iconic / popular culture status. By that rational there are thousands and thousands of pages on here that will need to be deleted.
As Wiki's own forex trading page states it is a $4 trillion a day market that is growing and so is of interest to the general public.
As far as I could see it was not any different to pages for other forex companies and was trying to just be factual. Below are some examples of those.
If there were elements of it that needed changing I'm sure their contributor could have done that.
Please don't take any of the above as a complaint - I just want to find out if they were doing something wrong and what they would need to do to correct it.
Thanks Arbitrarily0 for the prompt reply and explanation! Yes I'm sure they have plenty of secondary sources to use, media articles etc and will get them to forward a big collection of all those for group consideration. CheersForextrader2011 (talk) 08:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Arbitrarily, please see below secondary sources. I will leave in your and the discussion groups experts as to whether they are suitable :) I've been informed they are rewriting the text for the page as well for consideration.
Hi ArbitrarirlyO, I went back to the drawing board and rebsubmitted under Spotware Systems Ltd - with reliable sources clearly listed at the end. This was immediately speedy deleted by Lenticel because Spotware (not submitted by me) had already been deleted . I've now posted on my talk page for discussion rather than just reposting. Forex trading and ECN is very notable for some of the reason I outline above (the size of the market alone is enough) and the cost of everyday goods, outlook for global economy is directly affected by positive or negative sentiment in forex markets. Like all good pages the intention was not for the page to be the complete product but to have many contributers develop it over time. You were very helpful above so any guidance would be appreciated. Many Thanks Forextrader2011 (talk) 13:59, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Can you please userfy my page Center for vein restoration
So I'd say do a fun picture category of whatever you want, and besides that do one about encyclopedias/wiki, but no one was assigned categories... As a heads up, I'm doing a movies category and a literature category, just so we don't step on each other's toes.

Hi, I'm having problems with closing Rfd's with Rfd top. It seems that the template would always say delete even if I close it with a different outcome. --Lenticel(talk)03:40, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Ah, I think that solves the problem (I've previewed it here). By the way, if you want to see the bug you could see it here at Christina Ager--Lenticel(talk)06:27, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Great. I see what you are talking about. The modification to the template now forces it to be used as
{{Rfd top|'''Speedy Delete, G5'''.}}
as opposed to
{{Rfd top}} '''Speedy Delete, G5'''.
I hope this is not a major problem though. My rationale behind the change was that presumably the most common closure, '''delete.''', can be automatically rendered by {{Rfd top}}, saving some strain. Arbitrarily0(talk)16:33, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi...Any chance of reversing your decision to allow the old history for this page back again?. One editor has already tried to copy and paste the entire old unreferenced text back in again, without realising this attacted a BLP unsourced template, which led to the article's deletion in the first place! -Kiwipat (talk) 09:14, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
yeah whatever..the fact is there were no references included with the previous material copied in (easily checkable). Please delete the old history.-Kiwipat (talk) 09:41, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Thanks for closing this RfD. Could you please add a note to the talk page to record this decision, which should help avoid us having to run round the same loop again in the near future? Thanks. PamD07:58, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tony. Yes this can be done, except I do not think I will be able to automatically assess the articles. Would you still like me to do this? Arbitrarily0(talk)18:17, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
I'll keep you in mind. I would like to find someone with a bot that will look at other assessments and include them with the tag. I.e. if the majority of the other tags say something is A-Class or GA-Class, tag it with {{WikiProject Chicago|class=GA}}.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:30, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Nageh, thanks for working on this. Would you mind making an edit request on the template's talk page instead? I find it possibly strange that the reason= parameter would display directly on the template (instead of constraining comments to the discussion page). Others may not agree, however, but it might be helpful to open it up for comment. At any rate, thanks again for taking the time to fix this. Arbitrarily0(talk)03:17, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Greetings - I'm one of the coordinators for this year's Hackathon at Wikimania 2012. I was wondering if The U of M Wikimedians group might be interested in hosting a Hackathon at The U beforehand to perhaps try out some new ideas. Any interest or feedback? --Varnent (talk) 22:58, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
I was not aware that posting that message on administrators talk page would be considered canvassing. I am not intending to get any one sided opinion on this, if that was so, why would I choose Administartors, every user I chose to post on was an administrator and I felt they are the ones who will be unbiased. I saw advertising on the RFC page and thought that was the way to go. Please revert your views on the talk page which says I am trying to canvass if you may think fair. I am doing the RFc for the first time. Pavan 02:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavn123 (talk • contribs)
Hey :). You're being contacted because you are involved in the ACC process, or participated in the original discussion in '08 about the ConfirmAccount extension. This is a note to let you know that we are seeking opinions on switching this extension on, effectively making the ACC process via the Toolserver redundant. You can read all the details here; I would be very grateful if people would indicate how they feel about the idea :). Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 13:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Please, can you lock the article indefinitely, because the abuse will be continued and after a few days, I'm sure! Tnx! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djole 555 (talk • contribs) 18:54, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
OK! There is one non-registered users who repeatedly writes every day in their changes, but I must return them. This happens for two months, but I can no longer, you'll see that I'm right! Greeting! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djole 555 (talk • contribs) 19:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Is there anyway to get the page (as it was) restored? Her next single is about to be released shortly and she has had play on MTV as well as can be found cited on many notable websites. Please let me know if there's anyway to go about this or if a new page would need to be started.
No problem at all! Yes, the page can be restored by myself (or any administrator) should significant coverage come about. Arbitrarily0(talk)19:13, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
That's great! Would these items qualify as "significant coverage"?
Her new single/music video will be hitting early next month, so we'd love to relaunch the wiki page so we could added any relevant info to it. Thanks again! I appreciate your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc42west (talk • contribs) 20:14, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi again. I just wanted to follow up on getting this page restored as er the new hits the I mentioned above with top-level sites. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marc42west (talk • contribs) 15:39, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi Marc - sorry for the delayed reply! I am still concerned that these sources may not satisfy the notability criteria for musicians (criteria #1) - they seem to resemble blog posts and "publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves". Your thoughts? Has her new single been released yet? Arbitrarily0(talk)19:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Please could you restore the Business4Better page. We officially went live today with a big PR splash sending out press releases which got some good pick up.
Hi Dalm - sorry for the delayed reply. Do you know of any sources other than press releases? Unfortunately, press releases are not considered independent sources, which are required to establish notability. Arbitrarily0(talk)22:11, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Dalm. It seems that this is a press release, however. Press releases are generally not considered good references since they are not independent of the subject (see WP:GNG). Good to see that you are still around, Arbitrarily0(talk)13:51, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
The project's pages have had a major redesign, introducing tabs in order to make them more usable. If you haven't stopped by recently then check them out!
A table of statistics is now available for all pages in Category:WikiProject Help Project, this includes page views, word counts and a variety of readability scores. This should be helpful in prioritising improvement work and finding redundant pages.
{{Breadcrumb2}} is a new template for making attractive navigational breadcrumbs. This may be useful for linking help pages.
This newsletter was started :-)
From the editor
Hi, and welcome to the first issue of the Help Project newsletter! This is a new monthly initiative to keep project members and the wider community informed about our work to improve Wikipedia's help pages. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter.
I've initially sent this to all existing members of the project, if you don't wish to receive the newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. Conversely if you've just stumbled on this newsletter (perhaps through talk page stalking) and want to receive it in future then please feel free to sign up!
Greetings Smalljim! I closed the discussion as keep because it seemed that a fair consensus had been established to do so, and the consensus was aligned with policy (being that ample reliable sourcing confers notability). Cheers mate, Arbitrarily0(talk)19:53, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Put Your Hearts Up
My name is Rlg000raz, I have been responsible with the creation of a few Wiki pages. And I would like to be responsible for re-creating the "Put Your Hearts Up" page. Even if the song hasn't charted anywhere except the top 100 US itunes doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a page. There are SEVERAL songs with Wiki pages that haven't charted. But ALL singles deserve a Wiki page. I am going to re-create "put Your Hearts Up" anyway, and I hope you don't nominate it for deletion. I personally love the song and I think that it desrves a page. Especially if it's a single by a well known actress that millions of people love and adore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlg000raz (talk • contribs) 21:29, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
Nice to meet you, Rlg000raz. Are there ample secondaryreliable sources to establish notability for this song? Unfortunately, just because it may be a good song does not mean that it has received enough coverage to write an encyclopedic article for it. Let me know of your questions, Arbitrarily0(talk)13:29, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your and your bot's hard work! The load of tagging messages got me a nice surprise when checked my watchlist in the morning :) On the other hand, I really would not like to complain, but as much as I can see it forgot to add the "sports" parameter. Is it possible to solve this problem? Or should I request another bot for adding these? Or should go after the bot and add them manually?
Haha, we should be able to avoid tagging the sports parameter by hand. My idea was to first tag all of the pages in Category:Sport in Hungary with {{WikiProject Hungary}}, and then run over it again with the sports parameter. I will still have to see, however, if Arbitrarily0Bot will be compatible with the second run through. If not, there will be other bots that can. Last night though I ran into a glitch which stopped the process after the first couple thousand pages (about half way through). I would be happy to continue working on it, but it would take me a couple more weekends I think. However, please feel free to contract another bot in the mean time to get it done sooner - I would certainly not be offended. :) Cheers mate, Arbitrarily0(talk)13:10, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi again, Thehoboclown. Unfortunately I think that Arbitrarily0Bot will not be able to complete the project as desired. My apologies for this. I see that you have made a request at User:Hazard-Bot/Requests - this is likely your best bet. I hope you will drop by again in the future - cheers mate, Arbitrarily0(talk)18:01, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I don't agree that you have called consensus correctly here, the sources are still all WP:ROUTINEWP:PRIMARYNEWS reports any sports event gets, no attempt has been made to address the enduring notability of the event - it has none, nothing unexpected happened there nothing Encyclopaedic happened, the article is just a news report. Mtking (edits) 20:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello there, Mtking. From my perspective, I saw that there was a rough consensus in a direction that did not seem to contradict policy - contributors seemed to fairly interpret the notability criteria for events. However, if you wish to pursue this further, I must sadly recommend you back to deletion review. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers mate, Arbitrarily0(talk)18:23, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia displayed your name as the person who's deleted a page called Lightware. What was the content of this page? Because I'm looking into starting a Lightware page.
Greetings Lightware! I have emailed you the latest revision of the lightware page. Check the email address that you have linked with your Wikipedia account. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Regards, Arbitrarily0(talk)14:04, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Progress on the help redesign fellowship continues apace. In-person usability testing is due to start next week, watch this space for results!
A large survey about help pages was conducted. Responses are still coming in, but preliminary results are available.
A new gadget has been proposed to make it easier for new- and non-editors to leave feedback about help pages. Please test it and leave your thoughts.
In somewhat-related-project-news: the Teahouse has wrapped up its pilot phase with an extensive report. Planning and discussion is underway for phase 2.
Hello from the Help Project, and welcome to the second issue of our newsletter!
The biggest project I've been working on this month has been a large survey of users to find out what they think of our current help pages. Preliminary results from this are now available, although there are more responses trickling in from the lower edit count groups since a batch of email invitations were recently sent out. Finalised results and further analysis should be posted next week.
Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name.
Hello, You took my page down "Chris Webster" last year and although I didn't create it it was mostly correct and quite nice to have around, is there a way it can return or that I can justify it's existence...?
Thanks
Chris Webster Chrisjohnwebster (talk) 15:04, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Greetings, Chris. The article on Chris Webster was deleted because of a consensus to do so here. In the discussion, it was noted that the subject needs reliable sources to meet the notability criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. In other words, if you can find reliable sources that cover this subject, than a verifiable article can be made. Let me know if you have any questions, Arbitrarily0(talk)00:24, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Pages
I hope you like it, but I merged the pages templates together into one template, {{pages}}. the old version required that you list the pages twice, once in the main section, and once for {{pages-end}}. the new version only requires you to list the pages once, and doesn't require you to specify the numbering if you want to use the default numbering. if there are no problems, then we can delete {{pages-begin}} and {{pages-end}}. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 19:56, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to bother you with this but as closing admin you probably should be updated. I presume that as closing admin other Users must have already contacted you about the moves to the 14 Vietnamese cities subsequent to and counter Talk:Cần Thơ/Archive 1. What was, afaik, not generally known until the last couple of days was the removal of Talk-page evidence of the RM and your close prior to applying for "uncontroversial moves" via the G6 funnel - picked up by admins User:Graeme Bartlett, User:Edgar181 and User:Malik Shabazz. Talk-page evidence of RM and link to your close was in most cases deleted directly while logged in, in the case of Can Tho and Ca Mau (which had a previous RM prior to yours "bumped up" into an archive by one of a cluster of a dozen IPs which have also assisted other major RMs see WT:RM here. In light of this I have submitted the remaining unrestored cities in the RM you closed to a new RM at Talk:Ca Mau. Though in the light of what has been unearthed that new RM may now be academic. I will also inform the admin closer on the 2010 Ca Mau RM User:Billinghurst as it predates yours and is his close was also "bumped" into archive by one of the IPs as yours was.

en.wikipedia.org, by Edits (reverse), with Page = Paul_of_Tarsus
Hello:
I was wondering if you were the originating author of the article that is the subject of my message to you. I was hoping if you were, that you had more information or could provide me some direction. I have read your article, and I appreciate the insight (assuming you are the author). However, I am left with a burning question. Did Paul observe the holy day Sabbath, seeing that he was Jewish and he claimed to not betray Mosaic Law, through out his life time or did he instruct the church to abandon the Sabbath and worship on Sunday. In Revelation 1:10, John the Apostle is receiving instructions from God. He refers to his experience happening on the "Lord's Day". Is that suggesting that the day he is referring is Sunday and not Sabbath? Sorry to bother you with this, but I am trying to piece information together as best as I can understand. Thank you for your assistance.
(talk page stalker) Hello, I thought I'd provide some help here. Arbitrarily0 has moved the original page "Paul of Tarsus" to Paul the Apostle some time ago. The complete history is preserved over there and it shows that the article was created by User:Rmhermen in 2001 and has since received input from dozens if not hundreds of different authors. I can't speak for either of them but you might want to contact WikiProject Christianity, a community of editors specialised in the subject. Regards, De728631 (talk) 14:21, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, and welcome to the fourth issue of the Help Project newsletter.
It's been another busy month in the world of Wikipedia help. The results from the in-person usability tests conducted as part of the help pages fellowship have been released. There are no great surprises here, the tests confirmed that people have trouble with the existing help system, and people looking for help on the same topic often end up at wildly different pages. Editors who experienced a tutorial and/or edited a sandbox as part of their learning were noticeably more confident when editing a real article.
Drawing on that, three new "Introduction to" tutorials for new users have been created: referencing, uploading images and navigating Wikipedia. These join the popular existing introductions to policies and guidelines and talk pages. Feel free to edit them, but please do remember that the idea is to keep them simple and as free from extraneous details as possible. All three have been added to Help:Getting started, which is intended to be the new focal point for new editors, and will also be seeing a redesign soon.
In other news, the Article Feedback Tool (AFT) can now be used to collect feedback on help pages. By default it has been deployed to all pages in the Help: namespace. It can be disabled on any page by adding Category:Article Feedback Blacklist, or enabled for pages in other namespaces by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 Additional Articles. Once a page has AFT applied, you can add feedback using the form which appears at the bottom of it. Feedback can be reviewed by clicking "View feedback" in the sidebar, or the "Feedback from my watched pages" link at the top of your watchlist.
I'm now entering the final month of my fellowship, and will be focusing my efforts on making much needed improvements to Help:Contents, the main entrance point to our help system. It's been a pleasure working as a fellow, and I just want to thank all the people who have helped me or offered advice over the past months. That definitely won't be the end of my involvement in the Help Project though, I'll be sticking around as a volunteer and continuing to write this newsletter.
Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name.
So excited about your article ... Thank you. I cannot express how much we appreciate it! our project is still young but clearly gaining momentum, and you are making my battles MUCH easier to win. Deep bow to you, and a high five for good measure. Bdcousineau (talk) 02:08, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Could you please provide a copy of the deleted article Andrew Brown (chess player) to my sandbox if possible? Or let me know if and where I can retrieve it?
I would like to keep and improve the article for potential re-publication in the future if and when this person has met the Wikipedia "notability" guidelines.
Hi Gary. I have emailed you the page's previous content - let me know if you do not receive it. Until Mr. Brown gains more coverage, it would be best to leave the content off-wiki (in order to protect him as a BLP). If you find that he has gained increased notability, however, please let me know and I will restore the page history to your userspace.

Hi there I am working alongside Bill Leader (BBC Folk Awards 2011 Lifetime) and he would really like to correct his discography on his wiki page - please could you help me to do this or point me in the direction of someone who can and who can also lock it after?

I recently noticed that the wikipedia page entitled Dre Knight was restored but we couldn't find it anywhere. Can u assist us in an effort to locate the music producer's wikipedia page? Thank you so much in advance... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.219.66.230 (talk) 09:22, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
