I have a question. how can i complaint from wikipedia`s admins? iranian admins deleted a page that was constructed 6 years ago. They do not do their tasks properly and insult me.They do not know the rules of wikipedia and act in a taste. What should i do? they deleted an old page belong to a great musician.[[User:Arassaeedian|Arassaeedian]] ([[User talk:Arassaeedian|talk]]) 16:07, 20 September 2018 (UTC) == Formula for differential cross section == Hey Mark, you gave a formula for differential cross section in particle physics on 17:56, 4 March 2017 in the page "[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cross_section_(physics)&direction=next&oldid=768575044 Cross section (physics)]" in the section "Classical scattering" which has since moved into the section "[[Cross_section_(physics)#Differential_cross_section|Differential cross section]]" as of today. I am curious how this happened, it seems wrong. :<math> \frac{\mathrm{d} \sigma}{\mathrm{d}(\cos \theta)} = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} \frac{\mathrm{d} \sigma}{\mathrm{d} \Omega} \,\mathrm{d}\varphi </math> The starting equations are <math>\mathrm{d}\sigma = b \,\mathrm{d}\varphi \mathrm{d}b</math> and <math>\mathrm{d}\Omega = \sin\theta \, \mathrm{d}\theta \, \mathrm{d}\varphi</math>. If <math>\mathrm{d}(\cos \theta)</math> is required, <math>\mathrm{d}\Omega = \sin\theta \, \mathrm{d}\theta \, \mathrm{d}\varphi = \, \mathrm{d}(-\cos\theta) \, \mathrm{d}\varphi</math>. So, <math>\mathrm{d}(\cos\theta) = -\mathrm{d}\Omega/\mathrm{d}\varphi</math>. Now the correct equation should be :<math> \frac{\mathrm{d} \sigma}{\mathrm{d}(\cos \theta)} = -\frac{\mathrm{d} \sigma}{\mathrm{d} \Omega} \,\mathrm{d}\varphi </math>, without any integration and with the minus sign. Do correct me if and where I went wrong. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:MycrofD|MycrofD]] ([[User talk:MycrofD#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MycrofD|contribs]]) 11:09, 2 November 2017 (UTC)</small>  == Deletion "Sambhav Ratnakar" == Hey Mark, you deleted a page named, [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sambhav Ratnakar|Sambhav Ratnakar]] a while ago. Please consider revisiting since the deletion took place a while ago and notability of the person has since increased. Here's him on [http://www.huffingtonpost.in/bloggers/sambhav-ratnakar/ The Huffington Post], amongst many other sources. [[Special:Contributions/188.135.12.230|188.135.12.230]] ([[User talk:188.135.12.230|talk]]) 09:48, 29 November 2016 (UTC) :Well, simply writing a blog on the Huffington Post isn't quite enough for an article.

Thanks, [[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 14:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC) Hey Mark, thank you for your prompt reply. From what I can find, he has written a book, [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25003344-the-covert-perspective The Covert Perspective] (recognised by Google), writes for numerous newspapers and magazines, including DailyO, YouthKiAwaaz, NewsLaundry and his articles have recieved significant notability, being acknowledged by a prime ministerial candidate, current Chief Minister of Delhi and numerous other celebrities, including Vishal Dadlani. His articles on social media propoganda intitiated by political parties are widely appreciated and commenced a retaliation against unethical means of promotion employed by polticial parties in India. His book has been reviewed by leading newspapers<ref>http://dubeat.com/2015/09/book-review-the-covert-perspective-by-sambhav-ratnakar/</ref>. He has been dubbed as [http://www.viralindiandiary.com/sambhav-ratnakar-ceo-woju-one-of-the-worlds-youngest-authors/ one of the youngest published authors] in india. He has also founded a [[woju.ws|social network]] which is "aimed at connecting writers with readers" and contains some of India's most respected national bestsellers..<ref>http://www.theunder18.com/sambhav-ratnakar/</ref> I understand that notability is isolated to south-east asia, specifically India and so some sources/ news coverage might be in an Indian language which might be a reason why notability was not recognised. [[Special:Contributions/82.178.183.145|82.178.183.145]] ([[User talk:82.178.183.145|talk]]) 16:33, 29 November 2016 (UTC) :Hi again, sorry for the late response. I guess the best thing you could do would be to pull together a few of the best sources about him. Try to find ones from the most reputable papers. Basically, what matters here is having a lot of coverage of him in mainstream sources. Books reviews can also help. [[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 02:54, 7 December 2016 (UTC) Thank you for your reply, Mark. The page is protected from creation and can be made by administrators only. Request if you can alter that so I can collate some reliable sources and proceed. Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/85.154.201.233|85.154.201.233]] ([[User talk:85.154.201.233|talk]]) 16:33, 7 December 2016 (UTC) :Ok, the best thing to do might be to create [[Draft:Sambhav Ratnakar]]. Or create a page in your userspace (if you have an account). That way we can see a draft of the article before it goes "live". [[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 01:43, 8 December 2016 (UTC) == Deletion "Jennifer Leonhardt" == Hello Mark, In December 2015 you deleted the above article, citing dead links and that the topic didn't pass WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO criteria. There are multiple links that were not included in the review and one of the reviewers used an incorrect spelling of the subject's name in their research in News, Newspapers etc. A brief search revealed that Jennifer Leonhardt is/was included in an independent label list also here on Wikipedia for Waterbug Records, as well as their website, the Category:Waldorf school alumni page (now removed since her page was deleted), a listing on AllMusic.com , the reference site for musicians, including a review of her music by their chief music editor, inclusion on Pandora’s Music Genome Project, a SingOut! Magazine review, numerous folk and roots music radio charts, Paste Magazine’s Recommended artists, the WIKI Notable Waldorf Alumni page, the Waldorf School of Baltimore's Notable Waldorf Alumni page on their website, among others, all demonstrate that her notoriety is established and is based on generally available music across all sources (Spotify, iTunes, etc). and so I believe a page describing Jennifer should be undeleted and updated. If you or any other administrators require any further info or sources on her career to help update her page once reinstated, please contact me, I am happy to help. Thank you [[User:Wiikstaat|Wiikstaat]] ([[User talk:Wiikstaat|talk]]) 21:59, 3 July 2016 (UTC) == Deletion "Jon Barnes" == Hi Mark, In December 2015, you deleted the above article, citing that Jon Barnes was only previously active in national amateur motor racing. However Jon is racing currently - In 2015 and this year, 2016, Jon is racing as a 'Pro' driver in the British GT Championship in a GT3 Aston Martin. As well as having a very successful and relevant early career, Jon is also currently recognised as the sole works driver for Caterham Cars LTD and tests and develops all of their new road and racing cars. A quick search of Wikipedia shows just how many other pages contain his name/race results and thus I believe a page describing Jon should be undeleted and updated. If you or any other administrators require any information/sources on his career to help update his page once reinstated, please contact me and I will attempt to help out.

[[User:Dat GuyWiki|Dat GuyWiki]] ([[User talk:Dat GuyWiki|talk]]) 13:45, 28 November 2015 (UTC) == William T. Anderson Research == I look forward to your comments about the family group of William T. Anderson. I understand that Wikipedia sources are limited to published research. Information from original research of primary sources is discouraged. The 1860 census of Breckenridge County, Kansas, shows an additional child, Charles, of William C. Anderson and Martha Jane Thomasson. The 1850 census of Randolph County, Missouri shows W. and Mahala Thomason living in the household of William Anderson. The 1840 census of Liberty Township, Marion County, Missouri, shows that William C. Anderson and William Thomason were heads of household. It seems reasonable to assume that the maternal grandparents of William T. Anderson were William Thomasson and Mahala Baker. Bill Anderson’s birth year of 1840 is widely accepted, and is found in published information and on memorials and monuments. Two contemporary records exist that indicate his birth year was before 1840. The 1850 census of Marion County, Missouri, shows that William Anderson was 11. The 1860 census of Breckenridge County, Kansas, shows that William T. Anderson was 21. 1850 and 1860 census instructions to enumerators: Under heading 4, entitled “Age,” insert in figures what was the specific age of each person at his or her last birthday previous to the 1st of June. (Commencement of the census was to begin June 1st.) William T. Anderson was born after June 1st, 1838, and before June 1st, 1839, IF the respondent provided the correct age of William T. Anderson to the enumerator, and IF the enumerator accurately recorded the information. Perhaps a more accurate source of the birth year of William T. Anderson exists. Published accounts of the life of William T. Anderson state that he married Bush Smith in Grayson County, Texas. That is confirmed by a Grayson County marriage liecense issued to Lieut. William T. Anderson and MIss Bush Smith on 2 March 1864. Published accounts of the life of William T. Anderson state that his brother, Jim, brought his surviving sisters, Mollie and Mattie, to Grayson County after the death of William T. Anderson. That is confirmed by Grayson County marriage licenses for A. V. Doak and Mollie E. Anderson; E. G. Douglass and Mattie G. Anderson; and James Anderson and Mary Erwin, and several census records. Published accounts of the life of William T. Anderson state that Jim Anderson married his brother's widow. That is possible. There is a Grayson County marriage record for J. M. Anderson and Malinda Anderson, but there is insufficient information to identify them as James Monroe Anderson and Bush Smith Anderson. There is very convincing evidence that Mary Erwin was not William T. Anderson's widow. Published accounts of the life of William T. Anderson state that he built a house for Bush Smith in Sherman. No tax or property records have been found to confirm that claim.

His siblings were Jim, Ellis, Mary Ellen, Josephine and Janie. Suggested revision: His siblings were Ellis, James Monroe “Jim”, Mary Ellen “Mollie”, Susan Josephine, Martha Jane “Mattie”, and Charles. (Justification: 1860 census record and Breckenridge County probate record of William C. Anderson’s estate) Anderson married Bush Smith, a woman from Sherman, Texas. Suggested revision: Anderson married Miss Bush Smith of Sherman, Texas, 3 October 1864. (Justification: Copy of marriage license issued to Lieut William T. Anderson and Miss Bush Smith) “William T. Anderson was born in 1840” Suggested revision: William T. Anderson was born about 1839. (Justification: 1850 and 1860 census records do not support the 1840 birth year) By 1860, William T. Anderson was a joint owner of a 320-acre (1.3 km2) property that was worth $500 and his family had a net worth of around $1,000. QUESTION: Adjacent entries on the 1860 agricultural census of Breckenridge County, Kansas, show Wm. C. Anderson as the owner of 160 acres, and Wm. T. Anderson as the owner of 160 acres. Each acreage was valued at $500. Does this constitute joint ownership?

I was delighted that Urie Brofenbrenner (Urie Brofennbrenner Translational Center at Cornell Plantations), Judith E. Heumann and Ed Roberts (World Institute on Disability, and the former, Clinton, Bush and Obama Administrations), and Carl Rogers (I was with his Nat Raskin at Northwestern University, also American Association of Psychotherapists) were prominently featured. I was over at the American Society for Public Administration, and am on through March as Health and Human Services Administration (HHSA) Executive. Today, I was blocked at Andrew Cuomo, Governor, who is in my book, Public Administration and Disability: Community Services Administration in the US (Racino, 2014); the site needed the minimum wage legislation, supported housing, and the environment, among others. ````JulieAnnRacino````2018 [[User:JulieAnnRacino]] <small class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|undated]] comment added 14:23, 7 January 2018 (UTC)</small>  == Orphaned image that was deleted == I have rewritten [[:Friends of the Earth Scotland]].

The 2 Articles are [[Downtown MRT Line]], [[Circle MRT Line]], just check their history. Since I am not involved I do not think I should be the one to report to noticeboard but at least you might be able to help being an admin :-) Alternatively maybe a page protection might help one cool off (edits do include rude language like this one from IP [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Downtown_MRT_Line&diff=prev&oldid=696191861]. Thanks for looking. [[User:Poepkop|Poepkop]] ([[User talk:Poepkop|talk]]) 15:02, 21 December 2015 (UTC) :Hmm, it looks like they both have technically broken [[WP:3RR]] on [[Downtown MRT Line]] so they could be blocked at admin discretion. The best thing to do at this point would probably be to drop them each a talk page note telling them that they've crossed the line and hope that causes them to back off on the edit warring for today. Obvious vandalism is an exception to 3RR of course, but I don't think changing "<nowiki>Change to [[Circle MRT Line<nowiki>" to "</nowiki>Crossover to opposite platform for [[Circle MRT Line</nowiki>" would count as obvious vandalism. [[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 15:22, 21 December 2015 (UTC) ::Okay, thanks.

[[Wikipedia:Twinkle|Twinkle]] has a warning function that's helpful, <nowiki>{{uw-3rr}}</nowiki> is usually what I use.

I'm sorry if you think that my reverts has caused this confusion. My revert from "<nowiki>Change to [[Circle MRT Line<nowiki>" to "</nowiki>Crossover to opposite platform for [[Circle MRT Line</nowiki>" is done as it does not make logical sense and I'm not trying to imply its vandalism. Putting a station name which has not been confirmed is considered to be vandalism and that explains my numerous reversions.

Merely reverting incorrect changes is not an exception, they have to be apparent as deliberate attempts to damage to project. It is frustrating dealing with someone won't communicate, so you might want to post on a relevant wikiproject talk page to try to get more input or ask people who have edited that article or similar articles to weigh in.

She has been described by Seattle publications as a "Dangerously sexy blend of poisonous and volatile apocalyptic-metal with sarcastic aggro female vocals." Betty X has become one of the most recognized names in conceptual art, post-apocalyptic rock - not just in Seattle, but in Austin and Los Angeles, as well. She continues to be a powerful influence for female singers/songwriters/artists/musicians and participates on many panel discussions and appearances along with Patti Quatro and others, in addition to her live performances and collaborations with such bands as Ministry and Pigface. Betty X is currently gearing up to release her fifth solo album, which is being co-produced by the legendary Al Jourgensen of Ministry fame, confirming her presence as a current and relevant musician. This article supports the claim that Betty X has played with Ministry,,<ref>http://www.ontourmonthly.com/ministry-spreads-the-word-at-the-bomb-factory-in-dallas/</ref> and removes any question of the claim's validity. This article,<ref>http://www.xmag.com/archives/13-09-mar06/feature4.html</ref> as well as this book excerpt,,<ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=le5Sr5YCyk4C&pg=PA130&lpg=PA130&dq=%22Betty+X%22+%2B+Pigface&source=bl&ots=BRPDTk1w8T&sig=EyYGbKYns_lyApJYIvZJ-0pCsDk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7g8PLhfjKAhWCeSYKHWQQDE04ChDoAQglMAI#v=onepage&q=%22Betty%20X%22%20%2B%20Pigface&f=false</ref> confirm and validate her work with Martin Atkins and Pigface: Tour Smart. From her first band, Salon Betty, which performed with Alice In Chains and other influential Seattle bands, to being featured on the new Surgical Meth Machine (Al Jourgensen's new project) to be released April 15th on Nuclear Blast records, Betty X continues to be relevant in the music industry. Betty X is affiliated with Salon Betty, Satan in High Heels, Ministry, Pigface, Sheep on Drugs, and Surgical Meth Machine. She has current websites and fan pages including,<ref>https://bettyx.bandcamp.com/</ref>,<ref>https://www.facebook.com/BettyXOfficial/?pnref=lhc</ref>,<ref>https://twitter.com/bettyxofficial</ref>,<ref>https://www.reverbnation.com/bettyx</ref>.<ref>https://myspace.com/bettyx</ref> It would be a detriment to the history of female artists and musicians, as well as the history of post-apocalyptic rock, music in Seattle, etc. With all due respect, I am requesting that this page, which has been active for over 10 years, be fully restored.

That expired last week and in the last couple of days one anon and one new user account have added a load of content that simply doesn't meet V, RS etc and appears in part to be likely copyright violations. I've just reverted that lot. Of course, the anon may be the same person who subsequently registered a user account. I've left a welcome with the latter but it might be handy if you could spare the time to keep an eye on things there.

In South by Southwest they released a movie loosely based on the case ''[[The Last Word of Johnny Frank Garrett]]'' http://schedule.sxsw.com/2016/events/event_FS19784 and there had been previously a documentary and a fictional novel based on his case http://www.thelastworddocumentary.com/nl.php I could just write a new article with sourced info but I'm wondering if it's a good idea to do a DRV first?

[[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 00:55, 1 April 2016 (UTC) == Deletion of Delta Sigma Iota == Hi Mark, I am reaching out regarding the deletion of the page for Delta Sigma Iota (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Delta_Sigma_Iota) The page was deleted in 2012 as a result of review which stated the organization did not have a national scope. However, since then the organization has expanded and has an official presence in over seven major universities http://www.deltasigmaiota.org/chapters--colonies.html in multiple states. Additionally, the organization has also been recognized by the National Asian Pacific Islander Pan-Hellenic Association (http://www.napahq.org/about/#organizations) :Hi, I'm not too familiar with the guidelines for these types of articles. The best thing to do would be to open a section about the article at deletion review, [[WP:DRV]]. Thanks, [[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 13:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC) *I've left a note for them at [[WP:REFUND]]. However my concern here is that seven chapters might not be what is considered as far as "scope of their activities is national or international in scale". They also left a link to a Google search, but a look at the coverage shows that much of it is trivial mentions by student newspapers at the handful of colleges that host chapters. The mentions are usually that they participated in something at their universities with other Greek organizations and it seems to all be in passing. They also linked to a userfied version of the page that contained copyvio from the official website - I'm more mentioning that just so that they see an explanation as to why this was deleted. To be honest, I don't entirely see where the past concerns at AfD have really been met, although I have no problem with them trying to make a new article at [[WP:AfC]].

(I don't think there was any initial voting to be frank) The reasons are as follows: The consensus seems to be very strictly enforced on any India related page but Indic scripts are used broadly on say the Wikipedia page of [[Bangladesh]], where's the logic in that? Secondly, the ban against Indic script stemmed from the controversy of what language should be used to write the native names of Indian personalities eg local languages like [[Gujerati]] for [[Gandhi]] and [[Modi]]? Or [[Hindi]], the official language, for everyone? But where's no language controversy like in writing [[Bharat Ganarajya]] in Hindi, why the fuss? Thirdly, I personally favour scrapping the ban by using the same policies as applied to personalities who come from countries where there are multiple official languages or people who are of "foreign" origins when compared to their current nationality or state of residence. For instance, Nobel Laureate [[Ada Yonath]] has her name in [[Hebrew]] despite the fact that [[Israel]] has two official languages. Her religious background was here seen as a criterion for picking the right language. Similar solutions based on background could be used for Indian personalities. What are your views? [[User:Manish2542|Manish2542]] ([[User talk:Manish2542|talk]]) 23:33, 2 May 2016 (UTC) :Hello, [[India]] still can be edited, just not by new accounts and unregistered user.

I also know that TDRSS is the name of a military satellite system: the [[Tracking_and_Data_Relay_Satellite_System|Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System]] and which is an NRO-owned system. So I was thinking that perhaps it might be someone (or group of someones) who is employed by the NRO or one of their contractors, and I began a little digging. I quickly found that the user TDRSS is responsible for the creation and/or frequent editing of pages related to EVERY other director of the NRO as well: <nowiki> <ref>[[Bruce_A._Carlson|Bruce A.

The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on [[Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC]], which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors. Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome.

This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. [[WP:BLUELOCK|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 [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|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, [[WP:ECP2016|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 [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

I've made several corrections and added citations, but I noticed that the deletion was still listed.

I realize now that was extremely naive, but I had no malintent other than just making sure I could carry editing the article without the deletion in the way.

However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance.

[[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 20:09, 20 December 2016 (UTC) == Operation Red Hat Suggestion Comment == Mark, I've <ins>been</ins> redeveloping material from the deleted Operation Red Hat into an new article on a wider subject which is in [[User:Johnvr4/sandbox|my sandbox 1]]. Given your deletion and the prior complaints of facts being misrepresented (some valid, some disputed), I would like to request that you give it a once over for factual errors, poor sourcing, and synthesis. Many new sources have been released since deletion that support the majority of the previous article and several may require further support. However, I am still finding my own copyedits of non-public domain text so it is not complete by a long shot. I already know it is still long and complicated. Thanks. [[User:Johnvr4|Johnvr4]] ([[User talk:Johnvr4|talk]]) 01:43, 12 December 2016 (UTC) :Wow, that is a huge article. I'm sure a lot of work has gone into writing it, but I'm worried that it might just be too long. My page size script is placing it at over 21,000 words, which is longer than our article on the [[Vietnam War]], for reference. I would really suggest trimming it, if you can. [[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 02:18, 12 December 2016 (UTC) ::It ''is'' too long. Thank you for the perspective. I'm hoping a new RS is pending to sum up a lot of it (like most of the VA stuff). The Vietnam war was only about 19.5 years and the Okinawa activity in the proposed sandbox article covers 72 years (to date) and a lot of related [[Vietnam War]] material. All of the issues discussed are controversial which require both sides and will probably require their own articles at some point. An issue I see on the horizon is that any <ins>moves to</ins> new topic articles would have likely have too much weight on Okinawa with the inclusion of a lot of this material. I haven't reached any other conclusion on that aspect yet other than it's too long. [[User:Johnvr4|Johnvr4]] ([[User talk:Johnvr4|talk]]) 02:32, 12 December 2016 (UTC) :::Ok, well, my inclination is to say, just move it back since it has been more than three years.

[[User:Mark Arsten|Mark Arsten]] ([[User talk:Mark Arsten#top|talk]]) 20:07, 12 December 2016 (UTC) ::::Not really sure at this point. It was the suggestion of another editor that where the entry was going was a lot greater that Op Red Hat could or should cover and a new topic was needed. A lot of newer sources have been released since that time. Legacy of... was the tittle I was working under but that is wide open to suggestion and might need to change if much material is moved out. I was hoping to get some feedback and identify all of the places that need work, further citations, or quotes before going too far forward to avoid and/or rectify/(or explain) the past or future complaints prior to any more embarrassments.

The passage I didn't write but was blamed for writing is incidentally the ''exact part'' that you revived and put back in your version until I pointed it out. The next part is that the understanding of the subject in published sources changed '''in Dec. 2012''' with the discovery of new docs on the subject just as the [http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2012/12/04/life/were-we-marines-used-as-guinea-pigs-on-okinawa source] you are using in your version says in its first line! :::::::Even the initial deletion conversation over 5 years ago acknowledged that the "core" subject was larger than simply the 1971 transfer.

If we two together allow ourselves to focus on that, there is a much stronger likelihood of more of your draft seeing mainspace. Please go back and take a look at [[WP:ARTICLE]] if you like, about what kind of subjects normally hang together coherently for Wikipedia purposes. Please also note that we were '''not discussing your edits''' ('an editor took issue with a passage that I did not ever once edit') '''but the entire article.''' The article is not, and will not be yours at any time. There's no need to feel slighted at attacks on yours or others' drafted sections. Uncontested -- possibly a bad choice of words. What seems clearly obvious is that there is no doubt in anyone's mind that Red Hat included the 1971 munitions transfer. I wanted to put something on that in the mainspace. Absolutely yes, for the purposes of placing a short summary of the 1971 munitions transfer in the mainspace, I did not include the material I had no particular expertise or research history with. My purpose was to get a generally agreed subject back into the mainspace. Then others -- I had you in mind -- could add in time material about which they had much greater expertise -- the unrevealed, covered-up, officially hidden issues. What I will say though is that such adding of material has to add together to be a coherent whole, as is described in [[WP:ARTICLE]] -- not something that looks like an unreviewed series of jotted notes. There needs to be one coherent thread from beginning to end. Finally, I'm trying to clear about my motivations.

They even have an active online fanbase, with 450 active members of a Fans of AWE fan group. The company's owner, Josh Von Wheeler, and I want to work on actively updating an Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment Wikipedia page, to post about the history of the promotion and its ongoing story line, so that new fans will have an easily accessible way to catch up on what the company has accomplished and what has been going on with the wrestling and story for each season. Having a manageable Wikipedia page will help in making the promotion more viable to prospective fans. I would like to ask for the page to be reinstated or to have permission to begin working on a new page. Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment (AWE) is doing more, actively, than a number of wrestling promotions that actually have Wiki pages (like [[Family Wrestling Entertainment]]) and are now defunct business (FWE, by its own page's admission, closed up show in 2015). AWE is wrapping up their third season this summer, and has been frequenting historic venues in downtown Atlanta, a metropolitan city, whereas some of the other promotions that have pages are in rural areas.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|two-factor authentication]] remains an ''optional'' means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

However, I think he meets notability standards as a writer/academic. He was professor of surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and later professor of psychiatry. He was professor of ecclesiastical history at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary. He wrote the book "The Destruction of the Christian tradition" published by [[World Wisdom]] and "The Invocation of the Name of Jesus: As Practiced in the Western Church" published by Fons Vitae. He was editor and wrote the introduction to "The Essential Ananda Coomaraswamy." He published in the journals the Study of Comparative Religion and Sacred Web. Related to his practice as a psychiatrist, he published in American journal of psychotherapy. He has wiki pages in Turkish, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese despite being an English-speaking American. His philosophy is discussed in the book "Writers in East-West Encounter: New Cultural Bearings" by Guy Amirthanayagam published by Palgrave Macmillian UK, "Julius Evola: The Philosopher and Magician in War: 1943-1945" by Gianfranco De Turris. He's mentioned by Carl Ernst in "Traditionalism, the Perennial Philosophy and Islamic Studies", "Present at the Creation: Documenting the Arts of India" by Lewis Rowell, "Reading the Church: William Durandus and a New Approach to the History of Ecclesiology" by Stephen Mark Holmes. Many of these sources were not available at the time. He is not notable as a doctor or priest, but I am asking to consider letting me rewrite his page as he is notable as a member/propogandist of the Traditionalist School and in SSPX (other members of these groups have wiki pages).--[[User:Zaynab1418|Zaynab1418]] ([[User talk:Zaynab1418|talk]]) 02:51, 26 October 2021 (UTC) == GAN Backlog Drive – January 2022 == {| style="border: 5px solid #ABCDEF ; background-color: #FFF; padding:10px 15px 0" |style="padding: 0; vertical-align: middle; height: 1.1em; font-size:130%" |'''[[Wikipedia:Good article nominations|Good article nominations]] |''' <span style="font-size:85%">January 2022 Backlog Drive</span> |rowspan=3|[[File:Multiple GA Barnstar.png|right|75px]] |- |'''January 2022 Backlog Drive:''' * On New Year's Day, a one-month backlog drive for good article nominations will begin. * Barnstars will be awarded based on the number and age of articles reviewed. * Interested in taking part?
