Chinarism

Actually I would like to have the article back. Maybe this article was one of the most detailed about this new movement. You cannot find useful information about Chinarism other places. (Xizilbash (talk) 22:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC))

I still have RPP on my watchlist, and I saw this userpage come up. For what it's worth, this is most likely a sock, Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Cookie81927. Yngvarr (t) (c) 00:05, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Ancient Olympic Games

Would you be able to re-semi-protect the page? Apologies for my rampant slaughter of the English language there. Vandalism has continued now the SP has expired; I have no idea why odd IP's choose that article to attack. Ironholds 00:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

DYK update

Hi PeterSymonds, are you online? I've finished setting up the next update, and I believe it is ready to be updated, but I can't have access to T:DYK since I'm not an administrator. If your online, can you take care of the update please? But before you do that, the balance is slightly loose as the "On this day" section has more white space. Could you help fix that? Thanks, and I hope your online, () 01:36, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Page protection removals

You might want to rethink these. Every single one has been re-vandalized. And moved, for the ones where you took off the move protection. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Please return someday :( We're losing a fantastic admin here... good luck in university and beyond, Peter. 22:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi PeterSymonds, I'm glad to see your sig around again too. You crop up in a lot of places I visit; I was particularly aware of your thoughtful and courteous work on the reference and helpdesks.

Hi, thank you so much for responding

Can you please tell me which reference I should look at. Be advised I only learned how to make footnotes 2 days ago. I am not, in the least bit, a sophisticated user. Best regards.

How long should I wait before enquiring?

Heya Peter, I self-nom'd a DYK for a new article (I'm a PC) under November 30th, and it appears that most of the others under that day have been evaluated. how long should I wait before asking about it? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, Peter. I appreciate your comments both on my talk page and the DYK. I haven't done a lot of DYK stuff, or I'd help out there more. It seems a lot of the rules for how to assemble a DYK are a bit spread out, slowing down the process for someone trying to put one together.

On a side note, all things being equal (hook, length, etc.) how does one choose one DYK over another? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 15:21, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Reclaimed water section and picture removed

Hey, Peter. The section "Possible problems in irrigation" has been removed as well as the "Kirby Bauer Disk Diffusion Test" photograph. Please tell me who removed it, and why that was done. Thanks, ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Notindustry (talk • contribs) 13:03, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: The Queen's Jewels

Thanks Peter, it's nice to know somebody other than myself is interested in the collection! There really is a shockingly low amount of interest for the collection, as is evident by the amazingly low amount of online sources. It's mainly sources I need now, for it to pass as a GA. The reviewer recommended looking for some newspaper articles but I can't seem to find many! ;) All the best, --Cameron* 14:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Such resources are always a bonus. ;) There really is very little literature about them but if you could find anything it would be greatly appreciated. :) Regards, --Cameron* 16:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Question

Peter, the user from IP address 71.160.176.166 that added our company to the possible list of "spammers" page you reverted yesterday is simply someone who is upset that we posted a message about our company and its offerings in one of her chat groups. As a company, we don't send out E-mail and therefore don't spam. She's just a bitter homeschool mom. So, I wish you wouldn't revert references to our company spamming people. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Readinghelp (talk • contribs) 10:16, 21 October 2008

Hello Readinghelp. With respect, she can take that up with you through the normal channels (phone, email), and not on Wikipedia. Wikipedia isn't a complaints alternative, so if it appeared to be vandalism, I would've reverted and warned. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 09:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

WTF

Hi,

The bswa stuff on this article is completely irrelevent to the deceaced john lorber.

Half the article is about ajahn brahm and his wrong use of one of lorbers theories. Disgraceful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.34.227 (talk) 09:44, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hiya. For several months now, the article naming for 18th Century British royals has been ever-which-where — all over the shop.

E-Sports Entertainment Association

I would like to contest the deletion of this article E-Sports Entertainment Association and respond to the claims that the content is both not notable and falls under "blatent advertising". First, no external sources other than the site was mentioned yet a simple search reveals noteworthy mention in the NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/05/magazine/05wwln_consumed.html), Post Gazette (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06207/708718-96.stm) and CNet News (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-9889191-52.html). User base was also mentioned yet the site has over 300k accounts and gets over 3 million page views a month. Also, similar companies were listed as examples of deletion yet their articles are still kept as valid Cyberathlete Amateur League and GotFrag. Thank you, Thunberg —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:29, 25 October 2008 (UTC).

It was deleted per a community decision. Three independent people recognised the article as one written in the style of an advertisement. As I am no longer an administrator, I would ask you to contest this at WP:DRV, if you believe this was a wrong decision. Best,  () 03:45, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Peter Symonds! Thank you very much for your support and comments in the RfA. It passed today, and your comments were much appreciated. I will do my best to learn the technical side of the tools as quickly as possible, and will indeed implement them with caution until I'm fully familiar with how they work.

Never mind, I've figured it out. O hai WashingManwithwings. I'm sorry, but you had said the day before that you were creating another account the next day. Lo-and-behold, this new user turned up who seemed very experienced for a newbie. You lied to me by saying a steward had given you permission to return, so of course I reported it. You are globally locked for vandalism and sockpuppetry.  () 12:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Thats ok. I told you in the IRC not to. I will be back anyway. Also the account creation maybe blocked but I still have use of many computers so dont worry I will be back. 78.149.35.240 (talk) 12:39, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Anne of Świdnica

I would like to mention that the oryginal name of the article was Anne of Świdnica which has almost 3 times as much results on Google (on English pages only) than the German one. Anna of Swidnica is really not the main proposition of mine in this dispute.

See for yourself:

• "Anne of Swidnica" has 229 results on English only pages look here
• "Anne of Świdnica" has 164 results on English only pages look here
• "Anna von Schweidnitz" has only 79 results on English only pages look here
• "Anna of Schweidnitz" has only 53 results on English only pages look here
