The space exploration section in the 2000's article

Hope you are still up for this. If so, please help me fix it up when you get the chance. By the way, i've been to Bergen twice in my life - last time was a year and a half ago. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 07:45, 26 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I have been very busy for the past few days. I will, however, comment on the article shortly. --Aqwis (talk) 15:58, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Tromsø

Thanks for the correction on Tromsø. I usually check the names added by anonymous IPs, but quite often they are not notable or it is simply vandalism, and it has become instinctive for me to revert if the person doesn't have an article. Sorry for not checking it. Hayden120 (talk) 10:19, 8 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

No worries. :) --Aqwis (talk) 10:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Medicinernes Skiklub Svartor

Hello. I am contacting you because you are listed as a participant for WikiProject Norway, and the above-mentioned article is sourced by all Norwegian-language references. Moreover, the references do not appear to support notability; they might be mere trivial references to the subject. Since these sources are all offline, and I do not speak or read Norwegian, I'm hoping whether you can assist me in determining whether the article qualifies for speedy deletion. Many thanks!

Consider his request re-reviewed, then. --Aqwis (talk) 13:17, 7 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Just a note that HJ Mitchell, who originally denied the request, has said he's fine with this. But imho, it doesn't seem entirely appropriate to just go along with it when you discover you've been forum shopped and have inadvertently overrode another administrator's decision without discussing it with them. Still, all's well that ends well, I'm happy with him keeping the rollback right. - Kingpin13 (talk) 18:35, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Corncuopia Institute page

Hello Aqwis,

I'm not sure if you can help with this, I just clicked an 'A' administrator - if you can help I'd appreciate it.

I keep writing a page for the Cornucopia Institute, and it keeps getting deleted. I have made sure to comply with as many of the rules I can find, I've adjusted the format so it follows the style of other organization's pages similar to this one so I don't understand why it's so quickly deleted?!? Can you help?

I tried to communicate with the people who deleted them prior but their talk boxes wouldn't work for me. I was going to attempt to put a 'hangon' tag on the article, but I couldn't find it like I was directed to. I'm trying to write a legitimate article for this organization because I believe firmly they should be on here and would be useful on here. I've done as much reading as I can and am not sure what to do next.

Please help. Gardenerlynn (talk) 02:04, 1 October 2010 (UTC)gardenerlynnReply

Proposed deletion of List of people from Molde

 

The article List of people from Molde has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

per suggestion merged to Molde no incoming links except redirects to delete when prod expires

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Request for Userfication

Hello,

I very recently published an article on Wikipedia and it was quickly deleted. The article was called "Stigma Identity Management", and I believe it to have been wrongfully deleted. I was wondering if you would be willing to userfy the page for me or at least provide a second opinion on why the article fell under the category of "promotional", as I can see nothing promotional about it. Any assistance you can provide is much appreciate. Thank you.

IdentityManagement (talk) 15:00, 15 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

I was the admin who deleted that article. I'm restoring it to mainspace under the name "Stigma management" , as the title used "Stigma Identity Management" does not seem to be in use. (and, given the user name, I assumed COI & promotionalism of a related service, which may have been over-hasty. I havealso advised the user to take another username.

MSU Interview

Dear Aqwis,

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, where 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.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 04:20, 14 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

You might want to zap this while you're at it

Hi saw you just zapped Car trim level acronym, see Trim level acronym as well, this is the third creation of the same page in 24 hours. Cheers! CaptainScreebo Parley! 21:10, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Gone. --Aqwis (talk) 21:13, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Saw that, btw, user just recreated Car trim level acronym as a redirect to Car Acronym. Don't know if this is okay? Leave it up to you and your mop ;-) CaptainScreebo Parley! 21:48, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Probably fine. --Aqwis (talk) 22:40, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Rhythm of Black Lines

I didn't get a chance to see this before it was A7'ed (looks like it got tagged and deleted very quickly), but given that the band has a release on Gold Standard Laboratories and a bio and two reviewed albums on Allmusic ([1]), this doesn't look like a clear-cut case. Would you mind restoring it so I can take a second look and see if it merits inclusion? I suppose you could PROD it along the way, which would at least give me time to look over its current state.
