Think before you write.
If you want to talk with me, follow these simple rules:

• Make sure I can understand the message you are trying to convey
• Please link back to the article to which you are referring
• English only please, my native tongue of "New Yorker" was forcibally removed by NYC Dept of Ed speech therapists
• In the words of Winston Churchill: "short words are best, and the old words, when short, are best of all"
  

To start a new conversation create a new section at the end of the page. Putting something in the middle will not be seen.

Deletion of Weathermandan page

Talk:Weathermandan Contested deletion This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (This is a new type of school project that my teacher assigned. So if possible, could I keep this picture up, as it is factual but might not appear to be relevant. Thank you, Mncreations or WeatherManDan ) --Mncreations (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mncreations (talk • contribs) 04:46, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Older Jane

I've declined your request as speedy for significance doesn't apply to fictional characters. I'd suggest prod or AfD which are better places for this. The part is in the lower part of the list, but the actress has films against her name - but I'm not going to try to assess whether or not she deserves an article yet. This is a credited part, but looks minor (not only in age...), but I don't think it merits an article. Peridon (talk) 16:25, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

I've sorted out the wikilinks in it, just in case it survives. Peridon (talk) 16:33, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

BLP's are easy, notability of fictional (or historical fiction) characters is another thing. Guess I'll just AfD them in the future.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 03:34, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Lorian, I got your massage that you deleted my two links from wikipedia pages and told me that it was not relevant to the pages. But i did add those only when I saw that there was dead link and I did add relevant link to the pages. Please review and check that again. If you think that it is not relevant you can remove those links any time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamsinner (talk • contribs) 11:16, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

The Republic of Briansistan

Please explain to me how the article breaks wikipedia's terms. I do not see, as a country and as it's leader, how you can say that an article about a real country violates terms and rules. Please advise. Thank you Megastringcheese (talk) 03:05, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Santosh Mehrotra

Dear Loriendrew, just a little note to ask you, if you have the time and inclination, to have another look at the page on Santosh Mehrotra that you thought ought to be deleted. I know this persons work (I read the book with Jolly) and believe him to be notable. I think think I have done enough to remove the autobiographical stuff - and would be inclined to remove lots of the references to reviews of the books once the AFD is over if it is kept as they don't seem helpful to the article but might be useful for some of the technicalities of the Afd. Would you have any suggestions to improve the article - and are the other things that you think might best be removed or added? I think Deacon's quote and his work on the Indian HDR stuff could be enough. Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 11:59, 17 December 2014 (UTC))

another article

You might want to add Shawangunk Ridge to your watch list, as the same IP-hopper has been vandalizing and edit-warring on that one too. Cheers, Softlavender (talk) 02:41, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

How pleasant... done and thanks.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 02:44, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Upper State New York University USNYU

Hello There,

Hope all is well. I saw your WP:RS tagged to the Upper State New York University USNYU article for deletion. It appears that the University did exist at one point. I see some past students have LinkedIn accounts.

See LinkedIn Alumni-->https://www.linkedin.com/edu/alumni?name=Upper+State+New+York+University&trk=prof-edu-school-name

Thanks and happy holidays to you and yours

Linkedin is not a reliable source.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 00:31, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

I understand that your personal opinion as to linkedin may not be a reliable source, but my point was that the University had to have existed if former students listed this school on their resumes. Furthermore, you can't add schools on your resume as potential employers will check to confirm. Although there's not a lot of references, the article was built on information that was available. It's kind of hard to pull information from a defunct university. Please note that linkedin is a public website just like wikipedia Millions of people rely on linked to look at resumes of potential employees. So I wouldn't say that it's not reliable.

Have a great day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cabdkc123 (talk • contribs) 00:44, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Unwarranted removal of edits.

Your removal of my edits to the grand jury page presents harm to the general public. Please refrain from such future removals of my content, even if it is in fact not constructive in your opinion. If you have an issue with specific information, use my talk page, or enter dispute resolution, don't simply remove or revert the information, as it will only serve escalate an issue that could readily have you answering to a grand jury.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthew J Falkner (talk • contribs) 17:37, 29 December 2014

How to communicate?

Clearer instructions on how to respond to messages within the Misplaced Pages system would be helpful.Jaeze (talk) 16:21, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Writing on talk pages is one way, just make sure to create a new section so it does not fall into someone else's conversation. Please take a look at Misplaced Pages:Talk page guidelines.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 00:09, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Heads Up!

I'd keep an eye on this IP Address https://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Contributions/176.250.207.185 and it's socks if I were you, it seems to be adding useless catigories to Video Game and Fictional Character Articles, as if they where produced by Movie Companies! --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 00:14, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Artist deletion under section A7

Hi Loriendrew,

I saw you nominated my artist (Cameron Adair)'s page for deletion under Misplaced Pages section A7.

I have thoroughly reviewed the Notability Guidelines and Notability Guidelines (music) to meet the general Notability criteria and that for Musicians and Ensembles and would like to please contest this decision.

Cameron has performed at Walt Disney Concert Hall during his education at California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles. His debut studio album was recorded and mixed by Multiple Grammy Award Nominee Chris Gehringer at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco and Sterling Sound Studios in New York. It received worldwide distribution. He is also a former staff audio engineer at Hyde Street Studios and has worked with notable artist and engineers including Patrick (Bischoff) Brown, John Vanderslice, JMSN, and others.

He is performing at Noise Pop Festival in 2015 alongside Mick Jenkins (rapper).

In 2013 he was the subject of an intervention by Kristina Wandzilak, creator of Addicted (TV series) and was admitted to Crossroads Centre where he became friends with Anthony James (artist) and Alice Dellal.

It appears these credits meet the Verifiability criterion for Notability. Can you please advise? Thank You, Kristen Tyler (Cameron Adair MGMT) — Preceding unsigned comment added by KristenTyler1 (talk • contribs) 01:36, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Incorrect, I nominated the article for deletion via WP:AFD under the criteria that it fails WP:MUSICBIO, it was another person who made the WP:A7 nomination which you inappropriately removed. You also have a conflict of interest with the subject.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 02:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Loriendrew. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Misplaced Pages:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! — MusikAnimal 05:46, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Request for your opinion

Good morning Loriendrew! I noticed you've edited the topic Jimmy Edgar somewhat recently, and was hoping to collect viewpoints on an aesthetic issue. If you had a minute to contribute to the discussion/vote on the infobox photo, that would be very helpful. Earflaps (talk) 11:01, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Edits in war

Nope, the edits weren't tests. They were meant as clarifications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.235.22.114 (talk) 19:04, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Redirection of Harpur's Ferry page

Hi Loriendew. I know that we spoke about this topic a while back. I gave you some links to articles and sources for Harpur's Ferry SVAS. Why was the article deleted? HFSVAS is a nationally recognized collegiate agency. I see other wiki articles on collegiate EMS agencies as well. Is there someone that can explain better to me why this article was removed? I put a lot of work into that page and made sure to cite sources only to see it removed with no clear explanation. It is very discouraging when people come along who know nothing about your topic and seem to arbitrarily decide it is not noteworthy despite clear references.

Please let me know.Unwitnessed (talk) 16:55, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Eek! Forgot about that. Ok, to answer your questions:

• see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Harpur's Ferry for the discussion about the deletion
• see Misplaced Pages:Other stuff exists. This is not an argument either way, for or against.
• There are very few entries of Category:Collegiate EMS agencies

That being said, I will work on it tonight. Everything after vehicles will probably get removed, the upper and lead cleaned up, references/citations be put inline, and have to try to find a couple more significant notability things that I can recall.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 18:01, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Ignoring some minor markups that will be fixed, take a look at User:Loriendrew/Harpur's Ferry. I'd love to have an allowable image/logo of "the patch" to be used.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 04:27, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Corn Nuts

Not sure why we cannot add that CORN NUTS is a registered trademark of Kraft Foods in the first section to make sure that the public knows CORN NUTS is not a generic term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.236.202.6 (talk) 23:16, 9 March 2015 (UTC) Plus the information you added is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.236.202.6 (talk) 23:17, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

1. To start, Corn nut is a generic term. Cornnuts or Corn nut#CORNNUTS is a specific product, now currently owned by Kraft. It has its own section within the article along with other brand names in different locations. If someone searches wiki for "Cornnuts" they will be taken directly to that section.
2. I changed the citation from the USPTO search to another location. It satisfies the need to prove the claim of trademark ownership. It was the only thing added. According to the trademark search Kraft owns the name. Which part is "wrong"?--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 17:10, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Corn Nuts

FYI - Cornnuts is not a generic term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.236.202.6 (talk) 21:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Correct, I never said otherwise. Not sure why you keep arguing that point. Please understand that the article is about Corn nuts, which has a section on Cornnuts (the brand).--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 23:06, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Alison Sudol

hi loriendrew - i'm new to wikipedia so i hope this works! :-) the reason i have created a new page for alison sudol is that she is no longer working under the A Fine Frenzy moniker. as a historical page dedicated to AFF i assume the wiki/afinefrenzy page should remain but as she moves forward with her new vocation as an actress this is very separate to her previous career as AFF. ie. Alison Sudol is not just A Fine Frenzy and as such deserves a different wiki entry. i hope that makes sense? thanks

Dannyduncombe (talk) 04:22, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

I started a discussion on the article name change at Talk:A Fine Frenzy#RfC for article name change. Please comment there.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 04:26, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk Page for Crisis Intervention was Deleted

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Talk:Crisis_intervention&action=edit&redlink=1

I have never seen an entire talk page be deleted before. How can discussion take place on improving the article if there is no talk page? The editor that deleted the talk pages cites it was an "attack page" and a "Biography of a living Person". If such content was on the page the logical thing would have been to undo it from the talk page if valid; not remove the entire talk page. If you are an Admin then please do something to get this talk page restored to Misplaced Pages. It seems some powerful special interest group does not want any discussion on this article topic. If you are not an Admin then please bring this to the attention of some Admins of Misplaced Pages. 71.79.56.225 (talk) 03:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@Yunshui: might be the better person to ask as they are the one who deleted the page.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(talk) 10:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Eduardo (rapper)

I am closing the AfD on this article as a Redirect, which is why I removed the AfD tag and pointed the article elsewhere. Thus, I am reverting your reverting of my redirect. Thanks. And Adoil Descended (talk) 03:23, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Going to have to disagree with your closure and ask for a review. Three delete and redirects vs one redirect does not make for a redirect.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 03:27, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

There was no consensus to keep it, admittedly, but every participant beyond the nominator believed the article should be redirected. Admittedly, it is a WP:BOLD closure, but anything otherwise would ignore the underlying consensus that those seeking information on Eduardo should be redirected to article about his band.
