Mongolia women's national football team

According to EAFF's meeting, the first preliminary round of 2019 EAFF E-1 Football Championship (women) will be held in Mongolia. As the host, Mongolia will send their women's football team to compete against other women's football team. So can you recover the page of Mongolia women's national football team? — Younis7435 (talk) 05:45, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

https://eaff.com/news/3786.html, Here's the information that informed Mongolia will host the EAFF event in 2018, as the host, they will send both their men's and women's football team. — Younis7435 (talk) 07:01, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Template:TTC colour

For earlier parts of this discussion see User_talk:RHaworth/2018 Aug 20#Template:TTC colour

This is Canada - why don't we move it or at least create a redirect at template:TTC couleur?! Nothing is breaking that I have seen but to save {{S-line}} having to go via a redirect every time, the name should use color. Unless Joey objects soon, I shall move {{TTC colour}} back to {{TTC color}}. Another argument comes from Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:TTC colour. There are about 15 templates already using color and the 10 using colour. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:32, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

  • My understanding is that redirects are cheap so not sure that's a good reason to move back. Also don't think the 15-to-10 ratio says much of anything since the main template has "lived" at color for quite a while. I assume "couleur" is tongue in cheek given this is 'en'.wikipedia.org. Again, colour and color are valid spellings of the word in English, so really I think this is the S-lime template's limitation ultimately and if that can be worked around by having {{TTC color}} redirect, I think leaving the template at "colour" is most appropriate. — Joeyconnick (talk) 03:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Your arguments do not move me. Yes, redirects are cheap but in this case the need for a redirect would impose a small but permanent overload on the template rendering software. An overload which is easily avoided by using the right name. Surely you realise that nobody except wiki nerds see the title of this template. Be grateful we have redirects - if we were using HTML/CSS we would not have the choice of spelling. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

@RHaworth: Thank you for taking care of this. As a Canadian living in the States I am quite sensitive to the linguistic aspects, but as you note, this was a coding issue. — Useddenim (talk) 20:20, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Please delete...

Hi, can you please delete my Ju 338? You declined it with "unspeedy - perfectly OK redirect" but it was a redirect from Ju 338 to 388 – instead I now created the redirect Ju 388 that is really perfect... Regards and thank you in advance -- Cyfal (talk) 17:51, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! There are so many Ju (Ju 46 Ju 49 Ju 52 Ju 60 Ju 85 Ju 86 Ju 87 Ju 88 Ju 89 Ju 90 Ju 160 Ju 187 Ju 188 Ju 248 Ju 252 Ju 268 Ju 287 Ju 288 Ju 290 Ju 322 Ju 352 Ju 388 Ju 390 Ju 488 Ju 635) thus a redir for misspelling may be misleading... --Cyfal (talk) 21:18, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deleting CC-BY licensed material

Hi RHaworth, you've deleted two articles - Wentworth Mausoleum and Wentworth Memorial Gardens which correctly used attributed CC-BY licensed material. Can you please undelete these? The nominator was either confused about free licenses or didn't bother to read the attribution section. — The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:12, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Nominator more or less acknowledges this. — The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Wentworth Memorial Church, instead of Wentworth Memorial Gardens refers. Point taken re Wentworth Mausoleum. I will review. With thanks. — Rangasyd (talk) 12:36, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Syd, I have emailed you your text because you have done formatting and other work but it still needs more work before I would accept it. I hope you have taken to heart my remark about slovenliness - just because a page has a compatible licence does not mean it is suitable as an encyclopedia article. The entire "heritage listing" section must be zapped - we are not interested in the criteria that the Office of Environment and Heritage apply to enter a building on the register. It is just possible that that section contained a few factoids not contained in the rest of the article. If so, please merge them in at appropriate points. Also I am sure there is extensive merging possible of the History and Description sections. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:42, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

You are not the arbiter of content for all of Wikipedia. We determine things by consensus: if you have an issue with the article content, the talk page is the appropriate place to raise it. As an administrator, you know these things. This is pretty poor behaviour for an administrator - not to mention refusing to correct your error despite admitting it was deleted on incorrect grounds. — The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:15, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy delete

Hi there, thanks for actioning my request and deleting User:Deon/Userboxen. I did leave a note on the page but it wasn't very obvious so you might have missed it - I was hoping just the most recent revision could be undeleted so the personal information I edited out isn't visible in the page history. Since it's not super-secret stuff, I didn't think it warranted Oversight so hopefully you can just restore the revision that I linked to in the note underneath the CSD banner. Cheers! — Deontalk 11:03, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Affle

Hi, This is regarding the deletion of the article titled Affle. I was actively editing it to make it comply with Wikipedia policies. I mentioned the same in the article talk page as well. I was in process of editing it as you deleted it (you can see the same if you check the history of the deleted page - if that is even possible). Would you please consider letting me to continue working on it? I am also willing to submit a more neutral version in draft, eventually. However, I'll really appreciate it if you can consider my request to let me work on this version. — Bhatnagar.S (talk) 11:09, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Broadband Commission Targets

Hi, you removed my page on the broadband commission targets: here. It's actually licences under CC as is indicated on the page. Would it be possible to revert this? — Bquast (talk) 14:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about that. The targets are used as a benchmark, see e.g. this BBC article https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/technology-44886803 . Regarding the deleting, sorry to accuse you of that, that is what is says here: Broadband Commission Targets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bquast (talk • contribs) 09:03, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth, I would like to recreate this page, it says on the deletion notice that it was copyright infringement, I've solved this issues with the Target section on the Broadband Commission page. With regard to the unencyclopedic content, these targets are similar in nature to e.g. the Sustainable Development Goals, or the Millennium Development Goals. In particular the values such as the affordability target are used as industry benchmarks. Could you please reconsider? — Bquast (talk) 10:09, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Question about article draft deletion

I saw that an article draft I created recently: Draft:The Insurance Emporium was deleted by you with the reasoning G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. I already wrote from a neutral point of view and referenced the content accordingly, so is there anything I can do to improve the content to reverse the deletion? Thanks!

Hey RHaworth, could you please help us with this request? We'd like to eliminate copyright issues and continue to edit the article first as a subpage. Regards - Dorgan (talk) 09:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Dear Editor! My contribution has been deleted (Andrew Feldmar) due to unambiguous copyright infringement (G12). I would like to make adjustment in the article and submit it again without the contested parts and checking the references again. I would like to ask you to restore the deleted page or please send a copy of it (as it was suggested to me on the Wikipedia's real-time chat). Thank you!

Draft: Mark Edmundson

Dear RHaworth, I would like to appeal the speedy deletion of my Draft: Mark Edmundson. I am puzzled at the allegation of "unambiguous advertising" since Professor Edmundson is a noted educator, author, and lecturer at a top tier university. My draft entry simply recounts what makes Edmundson notable (his teaching, publishing, and speaking) which I was criticized for not doing by my first reviewer. Only two days ago, two kind Teahouse experts literally rewrote my draft to insure that it was disinterested and neutral. After correcting a couple of errors, I resubmitted only to be told by the next reviewer that I needed to make the corrections previous reviewers advised, which I had done across several drafts. It's as if he was looking at my original draft instead of my latest. I had modeled my entry after that of another academic author, Mark Bauerlein, to insure my draft was acceptable. I am mystified by the "advertising" claim and would ask that you rescind the deletion. Thank you for your time. — David Clemens (talk) 20:11, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

  • You lose a great many points for being unable to copy-and-paste my name and for using <h1> headings in the article. Certainly it was very short on evidence of notability but the tone was not grossly spammy. But you probably have a CoI so the best I can offer is: take your request to DRV. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:13, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear RHaworth, Apologies for my faulty typing and headings. I am respectfully requesting a copy of my final speedily-deleted draft Draft: Mark Edmundson. Thank you for your time. — David Clemens (talk) 16:49, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear RHaworth, Regarding a copy of Draft: Mark Edmundson, I have set up my email address as directed and believe that I have provided a proper wikilink. Thank you for even more of your time! I do apologize for my newbie fumbling. — David Clemens (talk) 23:14, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Tarun Sharma

Deletion of image released in public domain for copyright violation. I am the legal copyright owner of the image file:Tarun Sharma.jpg. I had released this image using the OTRS system. This image was tagged incorrectly for copyright violation twice because it shows up on twitter. But since I am the legal copyright owner of the image I can legally decide whether or not to release it in public. I had also contested the speedy deletion and mentioned on the page that I have mailed a release generated through OTRS system. In spite of that, the image has been deleted for copyright violation. I really fail to understand what's going on? — Knowledge is Power (talk) 06:22, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Images in Geological history of Borneo

Hi. You deleted most of the PDF images in Geological history of Borneo and left them as redlinks. While obviously they should be converted to SVGs, PNGs, or something else that makes sense, MediaWiki seems to render them as JPEGs and they show(ed) up just fine in the article. I don't think they should be deleted ... they should just be converted. -- B (talk) 18:40, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

  • It came as a surprise to me that when a PDF consists of just one image, it can be used in articles. All images used in that article now restored. Most were fine but two had horrible wide borders. I have converted one as an exercise but I will leave the other for someone else. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:42, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I did File:Regional map of SE asia with Borneo Highlighted.pdf as File:Regional map of SE Asia with Borneo Highlighted.svg. Oddly, if you look at the file history of my upload, MediaWiki doesn't seem to handle the text labels correctly. When MediaWiki rasterized my original version, all of the text labels were anchored to the left or top. I fixed it by converting the text labels to generic paths. -- B (talk) 12:06, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

BitBay

You deleted a draft of BitBay on August 14, 2018 due to unambiguous advertising or promotion. Can you please specify which elements of that article contained that type of content? Also please note, BitBay is a free and open source software, not a company or business. Thank you. -- Tradersnow (talk) 00:08, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your timely reply.

  1. As clearly stated above, BitBay is not a company, similar to how other open cryptographic networks and protocols are not companies.
  2. If a person thinks that a public, free, open source software is notable, spends significant time researching it, and then writes about it, does that not automatically create a CoI? I am no different than that person.
  3. Please also note that relatively informal sources are acceptable for publicly distributed, open source software.
  4. If this sandbox draft was deleted due to a declared (unpaid) CoI, please call it what it is, and not unambiguous advertising or promotion.

It would be much appreciated if you could please restore this sandbox draft. Thank you. -- Tradersnow (talk) 23:48, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Rising damp

Help with Batch delete at CURRENT sea level rise. Hi thanks for help earlier today with the sea level "reshuffle". Is there a good way to BATCH DELETE a list of useless redirs? Following a painstaking audit, the situation is described in this section at my test page Back in time there was a move from Current sea level rise to Sea level rise. Under the former article title, the archives were messed up. They were moved in their messed up state. Abundant redirs were left in their wake. I have been through them (painstakingly) to make sure there is no useful anything, and can confidently say its just clutter that might show up in lists of hits when users search, and potentially make some future wikignomes life hell if they have to sort a future archive issue. Is there a good way to ask for batch delete, or do I need to open each one and paste the Db-g6 template one by one? — NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 00:28, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Age of Sigmar page deletion

I am curious as to why Games-Workshop's Age of Sigmar page was deleted. Warhammer Age of Sigmar. It claims copyright infringement of two re-sellers of Games-Workshop products.

1935 Labor Day Hurricane

File:Report to President Roosevelt on 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, dated Sept. 8, 1935.pdf Roger, I'm somewhat confused by your deletion action. The article appears to be unchanged. The link to the subject report (Note 69) is still active. Also I don't recall citing a pdf in my references. But it's been a few years since I worked on the 1935 hurricane page, so perhaps I'm just losing it. Righto, Richard Bcrford (talk) 14:54, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

  • Richard, I recognise that you may not be as web-savvy as others so I can forgive your inability to provide a link to the PDF in question and to the relevant article. But surely you understand the difference between Wikipedia and flickr? With this edit dated 2015-04-15 21:40:41 you added a link to this album on flickr. That was exactly the right way to do things. Why then, 8 hours later, did you upload the same images as a PDF here? It was totally unnecessary and pointless since PDFs of that sort are useless. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:17, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

recreating an article

I have been working on creating few literary articles in wikipedia including biography of poets and writers. I tried to create an article about Sonnet Mondal but I was not allowed to do so. There are many reasons highlighted including an AFD but I think the subject is notable now with wide news coverages as found in google news. The last time the page was deleted was in 2010 and most of the media links and newspaper links are after that. I think the notability of the subject has changed. Also did some research and found lot of international literary festivals mentioning him. So I wish to re-create the article with current details.

Deletion of Mumbai Express

Hi, I'm confused that you've deleted this. Who was the "one author" who requested deletion - the user who originally created a page at this title, or the one who moved it to Mumbai Sexpress (film) and thereby turned Mumbai Express into a redirect thereto?

Four days ago I changed it to redirect to Mumbai Xpress, on the basis that "Mumbai Express" doesn't seem to have any meanings of its own, but is a perfectly plausible misspelling of "Mumbai Xpress". I argue that this is a significant change from the original content of Mumbai Express, so doesn't qualify as G7.

As such, I would like to request that the page be restored as a redirect to Mumbai Xpress. This can then be protected if you think it's necessary. — Smjg (talk) 17:41, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Song of the Cowherd Erxiao

Hi RHaworth, I just saw that you deleted this article as a "blatant hoax". That's incorrect.

(talk page stalker) @Rhodydog: The article needs reliable sources, such as news articles, magazines, or books that discuss the person. Articles about his work are helpful, but the article is about the person, not his work. And referencing his own work doesn't help at all. See the notability guidelines for biographies, reliable sources, and the difference between primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. — Bradv 16:00, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

I came across this page: Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) and I believe that creating a page for David Fell is worthwhile. — Rhodydog (talk) 16:27, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Jannie Hofmeyr

I see that you deleted the Jannie Hofmeyr page. I understand that the page was a little thin on details. I believe he is a notable Academic. Finally, I should state I am not Jannie Hofmeyr, he lives in S Africa, I live in the USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhodydog (talk • contribs) 16:39, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Athel Cornish-Bowden

I noticed that you deleted (or so it appears, correct me if I am wrong) the Athel Cornish-Bowden page. I understand that the page was a little thin on details but I believe he is a notable Academic. He is after all one of the worlds most famous enzyme kineticists.

If the page is in draft mode I can build it up then send it to you for review. If it was deleted forever, please advise. Finally, I should state I am not Athel Cornish-Bowden, he lives in France, I live in the USA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhodydog (talk • contribs) 16:51, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Edda Klipp

As you've noticed I have started a number of pages on notable systems biologists. The reason for this is that I was recently searching for notable systems biologists when I found a useful list on Wikipedia. However, I discovered that a number of highly notable people were absent. I decided I wanted to correct this by adding four systems biologists who I consider to be highly notable based on their impact on the field. I probably approached this the wrong way and should have done full drafts of all four pages then had them reviewed. As for Edda Klipp I can support her notability. Finally, I should state I am not Edda Klipp, she lives in Germany, I live in the USA. — Rhodydog (talk) 17:15, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

  • I know why my editing failed and I accept being educated on this point, we all have to learn. What I don't appreciate is the scolding tone of the replies I'm getting from you. Is this the right way to encourage contributions to Wikipedia? I've read your User page and you even admit, somewhat jokingly, that this is your approach to those who add content. Take a step back, think about what you're doing. Long-term, administrators who use these tactics will simply alienate further contributions. We all have a stake in Wikipedia and we all want it to succeed. Of course, one has to police submitted material, but be sensible about it. Other administrators also noted my failings in these particular posts but they responded courteously but they still got the message across. I learned without being scolded. Please, no further snide remarks. We are done here. Rhodydog (talk) 04:46, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

If you wish to acquire any credibility as a Wikipedia editor/administrator I recommend you learn to spell and improve your grammatical skills - touche Rhodydog (talk) 01:12, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

@Rhodydog: RHaworth just did you a favour and restored your articles upon request. This is not an appropriate way to say "thank you." Bradv 02:07, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

He didn't appropriately address me either, he was using his position to discredit when there was no need to do so. As editors we are at the mercy of unscrupulous or overbearing administrators, obviously we will and should defend ourselves in such situations. I am very happy to be educated but it should be done in a civil manner. Is that an unreasonable request? Rhodydog (talk) 03:36, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

@Rhodydog: There was nothing uncivil about RHaworth's comment. You spammed his userpage with repeated requests, and completely ignored my multiple messages to you about reliable sources and notability, here and elsewhere. He didn't need to acquiesce to your request, but he did, and all you can do is insult his spelling and grammar (which is perfectly fine by the way). And he doesn't need to "acquire any credibility" — he's been here for years and is a very profilic and respected editor. You, on the other hand, do. Bradv 03:48, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Contributing to Wikipedia is hard but it gets much harder when administrators treat editors the way they do. Please delete the drafts, I no longer wish to contribute to these pages. As for spelling, you are right that his spelling is correct but he is using obsolete phrasing when a more modern word would be better. Why he does this, I don't know.

Deletion of the Sonna Rele page

Hello, I'm contacting you regarding the page for the British music artist, Sonna Rele. From the edit history on the page, I can see that the page has been deleted in the past for various reasons - most commonly "unambiguous advertising or promotion" - and that you protected the page from creation on 18 July 2010.

I am not affiliated in any way with Sonna Rele, but from a quick search on Google it seems as if this artist appears to have done considerable and high-profile work since 2010 - most notably working with Disney on the 2015 live-action movie of Cinderella. I wonder if you might re-consider your protection of the page? Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amxek (talk • contribs) 17:01, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Abdul kissing Candice

Mind restoring Draft:Abdul Gani Vakil and Draft:Kissing Candice (band) for me? I did not manage to rescue them quite quick enough. I was halfway through taking a cursory look at the items in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as abandoned drafts or AfC submissions when you deleted them. Entirely not your fault, however, but rather a deficiency in the system. G13 should function like PROD, giving interested parties a week to review them.

Page is protected

Hi, I am trying to add an academic page onto Wikipedia but it has protected it and is not letting me create the page. It said to contact you. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Contributor2018PS (talk • contribs) 00:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi Roger, you deleted this page on August 7 and it was re-created a week later. Can you please check for me if there's any resemblance between the two versions? -- Saqib (talk) 20:05, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Request for deletion

I need to request you that please delete page User talk:106.205.152.95 as the criteria of speedy deletion reason as g6 (Asserted to be non-controversial maintenance). We don't need that page. 3 more pages, User talk:106.222.97.229, User talk:122.162.80.48 and User talk:171.50.170.146 were also deleted like this by you. I don't have a Wikipedia account so I need to talk by this IP address. Thank you. 182.77.106.88 (talk) 13:09, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

I would be talking to you (RHaworth) when you unprotect that page. Nothing is preventing me from creating an account. I like to be an IP only. So, instead of unprotecting that page, please quickly delete that page (User talk:106.205.152.95) as speedy deletion criteria g6. We don't need that page. Thank you. 182.77.106.88 (talk) 17:29, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

There are no hundreds of similar. I am just requesting deletion as we don't need that page. I don't want to waste more time on it. Without any further more talk (probably an arguement) about the deletion, please just delete that page (User talk:106.205.152.95) quickly as we don't need it at all. Thank you. 182.77.106.88 (talk) 14:31, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker). Some admins will delete these superfluous articles with a db|error, some do not, there is no consistency. I am running at about 50/50 and until there are contrary guidelines it must be worth continuing to nominate - probably picking times to avoid certain admins. -- Richhoncho (talk) 18:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

I am from the same IP address (122.162.235.252) who requested deletion for the three pages, User talk:106.222.97.229, User talk:122.162.80.48 and User talk:171.50.170.146. I was going to request to delete User talk:106.205.152.95 but I forgot to request. All the four pages are not needed and three already got deleted. I don't want to waste more time on it. So, please delete the fourth page also (User talk:106.205.152.95) quickly because we don't need that page also at all. — 182.77.106.88 (talk) 05:08, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Morph (Twenty One Pilots song)

Hi, can you elucidate why you have turned this db down, when other editors have accepted and deleted similar nominations? Might be an idea if admins agreed too. Cheers. NB. I am not asking for a reconsider, just an explanation. -- Richhoncho (talk) 11:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words. Check around, redirects are not cheap if everything gets 3 separate redirects, 2 of which are surplus to the primary redirect. -- Richhoncho (talk) 11:26, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Families

Hello, re: International Organization for the Family and the World Congress of Families. As far as I can tell, the World Congress of Families WAS a US-based organization that folded itself into a new organization based in Russia. It is difficult to tell what the proper Wikipedia solution to this should be. They both were international organizations, and some leaders from the World Congress of Families ended up working with the International Organization for the Family. But there is very little mainstream coverage of either group that explains what has actually happened. — Chip.berlet (talk) 22:25, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Babylon.js re-write

I would like to write an article on Babylon.js and it appears that a [draft article] has been deleted by yourself. As I do not know the content of the previous page I do not know whether my contribution will be substantially different or not. If possible would you please be able to provide me with a copy of the content. — JohnK3142 (talk) 08:55, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Dahlby

Hello editor. My rough draft got deleted due to improper copyright issues on my behalf. I was hoping you could restore the page so that I can make corrections to my rough draft. I am learning wikipedia for a course and would like the opportunity to correct my mistakes and learn the proper way to enter information. I would appreciate it very much, but understand if that is not a possibility. Thank you -- Aswieter (talk) 16:30, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
