I think the situation is unchanged. If so, wikipedia's Star Trek page shouldn't say that this show is Canon just because its on the official startrek web page. After all, this web page is owned by Paramount who want to sell as much Star trek related stuff as possible. But in their contract with Gene, TAS is not part of the Star Trek Canon...last I heard.

Hey, I am not sure if you or the Canadian side of [[WP:WPRS]] is aware of this or not, but Recnet.com, the website that handles the coverage range links for Canadian stations, will be going offline on October 16th. There is no projected date for when this site will be back online according to [http://home.recnet.com/move this] page from the site. I am not sure of another site that provides the same information for coverage as Recnet does. Sorry to throw this on you, but I just discovered it myself.

Troublesome user
I noticed that you have had some interaction with LAVINA4194 (talk · contribs). In addition to the problems you have warned him about, I would like to point out that all of the pages he has created about Ohio politicians are referenced using a Google books search link that does not result in a page that verifies the information provided in the article. I have mentioned this on the user's talk page, but I thought you might like to keep an eye on the situation. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:41, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Sylvia Jones
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Sylvia Jones requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding
{{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 20:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Marking things as Uncategorized
I noticed that you're using AWB to "categorize" articles. For some reason, you're tagging a bunch of articles that do have categories (for example Bijou (cocktail)) as uncategorized. Is this a fault of AWB, a mistake on your part, or me misunderstanding something? Qwyrxian (talk) 08:44, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed, you are ignoring categories that are added with a template, such as a stub template. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 02:20, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- To cite another example, see IBM 2821 Control Unit. Please either fix or stop running AWB. John Sauter (talk) 02:37, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
- In case anyone else has this same problem and sees this topic, here is Bearcat's response from my Talk page: “An article is not considered to be "categorized" just because it has a stub template on it, because stub templates are for maintenance purposes and are meant to be removed as soon as the article is no longer of stub length. An article is correctly tagged as being uncategorized, no matter how many stub "categories" are present, if it doesn't also have at least one real, permanent content category on it in addition to the stub templates.” John Sauter (talk) 13:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- I suggest you use {{Uncategorized stub}} to tag articles that have stubs but no permanent content categories. GoingBatty (talk) 02:52, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- While you're waiting for the toolserver page to be updated, people could go to Category:Uncategorized stubs from September 2010 to get the list of uncategorized stubs. GoingBatty (talk) 03:15, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- My mistake - I see now that the toolserver page lists uncategorized pages that don't have the {{uncategorized}} template, and you're adding the template to get them off the list. I hope you're successful in getting the owner to add {{Uncategorized stub}} to the logic. Good luck! GoingBatty (talk) 03:25, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- AWB wants to undo the work you're doing to properly mark pages to get them categorized. I've asked for some new features and reported some bugs to help fix this, some of which will be implemented in the next version. GoingBatty (talk) 03:47, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Creed of the United States Coast Guardsman
Your deletion of the article Creed of the United States Coast Guardsman is erroneous. This material is property of the Federal Government and was written by VADM Harry G. Hamlet for use by the United States Coast Guard. It is available on the web at this official Coast Guard website. Your deletion did not give me the courtesy of a notice on the page requesting a deletion or a chance to rebut your actions. The website that I reference here was a part of the references noted in the article and had you bothered to follow the link you would see that the use of the Creed is legitimate under public ownership. As such it is not copywritable. I request that you reverse you deletion of the article and in the future be just a little more careful before pulling the plug. Thank you for your cooperation in the correction of this error Cuprum17 (talk) 17:13, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have to second that. I saw your response, where you cited that it was merely a text dump. That may or may not be true, but it is not a valid speedy deletion criteria; the one you gave was a copyright violation, but there is no copyright on public domain works. I request that you undelete the article and prod or place it at AfD if you still feel the same way; this should have a chance to go through the proper avenues. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 20:52, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Barb Higgins Deletion
Hi, I noticed that on July 31 you deleted the Page "Barb Higgins" for the reason (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content). I would like to ask that you reconsider this deletion as Ms. Higgins is currently a candidate for mayor of Calgary and according to two recent polls she is the frontrunner (http://www.globaltvcalgary.com/Calgarians+putting+their+support+behind+upcoming+Civic+Election/3337533/story.html). As the Mayoral election approaches voters will be looking to Wikipedia for information on the candidates, and many of the others have active pages. If she wins, which appears likely, we will certainly want to have a municipal politics page on her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lola60311 (talk • contribs) 17:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Michael Laxer article deletion debate
Hi Bearcat:
The Michael Laxer is being proposed for deletion [[1]]. He is a current political candidate in the Toronto municipal elections, for city councillor in Ward 6, Etobicoke Lakeshore. Could you please put a stop to this, until at least after the October 25th election. The article is of course, as usual in many of these cases, poorly written.--Abebenjoe (talk) 16:43, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
Red algae category
I see you categorized at least two red algae articles (Peyssonnelia and Cruoriopsis) into Category:Eukaryotes. As far as I can tell, they should instead be in a subcategory of that category, presumably Category:Red algae. I mention this in case there are other articles affected by this. Kingdon (talk) 20:17, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
United Kingdom and Great Britain
Hi Bearcat
In this edit, you added Category:Members of the United Kingdom Parliament for English constituencies to a person who died in 1797. I have replaced this with Category:Members of the Parliament of Great Britain for English constituencies because he could not actually have been a member of the Parliament of the United Kingdom; in his lifetime the Parl at Westminster was the Parliament of Great Britain.The United Kingdom Parliament was not created until 1801.

Massive redaction of Core synchronism article
Bearcat, based on what criteria did you delete nearly all of the content and references for the Core synchronism article? You wrote that what you did was merely categorization/tagging/cleanup, but a much more systematic removal seems to be at play. Nothing untrue was stated in the article as it existed before your edit. It spoke of models and views which you might not agree with, but a number of people do. Is that legitimate cause for removing nearly everything? Did you mean to delete nearly everything or just to add an opposing viewpoint? The latter seems appropriate and, in my understanding, in the spirit of the wikipedia undertaking.
Dln108 (talk) 23:33, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry about that misunderstanding, Bearcat. I misread the history. What is best etiquette for my mis-allocation of that action to you? Just delete that paragraph above? Dln108 (talk) 02:31, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Articles for deletion nomination of Kim Hughes (radio)
I have nominated Kim Hughes (radio), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kim Hughes (radio). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Mozilla Drumbeat article deletion
Hi Bearcat, I disagree on the deletion of the Drumbeat article. I believe the stub should be expanded instead of deleting it. Drumbeat is growing in importance with both local events (like two months ago in Paris, and in three months in Barcelona) and growing community (promoted by Drumbeat grants and hosting of multiple projects).--Samer.hc (talk) 22:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Donnelly and Cooper
I am confused. Complete lyrics are found in a great majority of the articles in the same category. What about the complete lyrics for "God Save the Queen" or the feature article "Amazing Grace", should they be removed, too?

Category tag
Hiya. I see you've been an admin. for a number of years, so you'll know this WP thing well.
You added this tag to an article which already had several categories. May I ask why you did so?

Húsasmiðjan and Categorization
Thank you, Bearcat, for your courteous critique :) I thought that the stub template assigned an article to a category automatically, as a category was then displayed at the bottom of the text where there was none before. Shows what I know; I'm more of a Wikipedia angel or whatever you call us; I do little things that I hope mean something. I'll cease with pulling the category tags, though, and thanks again for the education :) Best to ya! Cesium_133 (talk) 06:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Get Low (film) reference contents
Hi Bearcat,
I noticed there were only a handful of references/external links about Get Low, the Sony Pictures Classics small budget film currently in release.
There is a video editorial online on Get Low that may interest Wikipedia in referencing the content.
http://midnighttracks.net/2010/getlowvid
Hope this helps in some way. I left a similar message to some of the original crew members that created the Get Low wikipedia page in the hopes this would be discussed and then unanimous action is taken.

Deletion Notice
Just in case you're interested, there is a speedy deletion notice for Bruce and Pepper Wayne Gacy's Home Movies by Bruce LaBruce and Candy Parker, which will probably result in a deletion debate. If this is something you might want to express an opinion about, I understand there is a limited time frame (7 days?) in which to do so. I am not sure if it is now against the rules to let others know about deletion notices; there are so many new rules and regulations since the days when I regularly edited here that I hope I haven't done anything wrong, and hope it's ok to let you know about this!

Category:Hawaii
I do not agree with the removal of top level articles from top level categories. For the most part, these types of changes have been made unilaterally without discussion by one editor, who has forced their poor categorization to the detriment of editors and readers alike. I will therefore be restoring these categories, not because I like or prefer them, but because the reader benefits from having top level subjects in the base category. Viriditas (talk) 04:59, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
- An article is not supposed to be filed in Category:Hawaii if it's already in one or more subcategories such as Category:History of Hawaii or Category:Geography of Hawaii. There is no benefit to the reader in duplicate categorization. Bearcat (talk) 05:02, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
- There is no such rule. A misguided editor who felt that top level articles should never appear in duplicate or higher categories removed them all against the wishes of other editors. The fact is, top level categorization has always been acceptable and the reader greatly benefits from browsing and viewing the top level articles at the base, giving them a quick visual overview of the subject. This is academic. If you don't see or understand the benefit then it's because you aren't looking at this as a reader. Part of the problem here is a narrow approach to editing that fails to understand the different types if editors who use this site and the different ways they view and browse categories. I would be happy go explain this to you in more detail later, as I'm on a cell phone at the moment. Viriditas (talk) 05:12, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
I am experimenting with an active form of dispute resolution that involves putting forward a compromise that both of us can accept as a short-term solution. It occurs to me that I can get the same desired result from simply adding a list of top level articles to the header of the category page as I would get from adding an actual category. Would you have an objection to this compromise? In other words, if you find it acceptable, I would link to the articles in the heading of Category:Hawaii in a clearly descriptive way, while reverting to your version of the article pages without the category. If this is acceptable to you, let me know. Viriditas (talk) 10:16, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bearcat, I am an user from German Wikipedia, and I work with the "fine arts" - team there. The page Bodo Sperling in German WP was made as a self promotion and it is still continued. So we have a special eye on it. Now an IP puts in a "referece"-book (publisher is general LLC books) consisting of copied en-WP articles. I think it is not okay to reference WP by WP, and also the german article will be referenced by the en WP through the back door.

Stockton Grand Rapids
I am unsure why you deleted the page Stockton Grand Rapids. Although it was a page about an artist/ or musical group I provided valid press references, and was in the process of making improvements to the page.

Unambiguous advertising
Hi, I've added as many reliable sources as possible and made the tone of the article as neutral as can be. Please let me know what I can do to make the Kevin feng page pass standards. If you take a look at other pickup artists' pages, they're all the same. Examples: Mystery (pickup artist), Kezia Noble, Owen Cook and Adam Lyons. Much appreciated. Kip 78 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:49, 5 September 2010 (UTC).
- May I ask why VH1 website isn't considered a reliable source? I also included a News Guide article on Kevin Feng and an article from Toledo Blade Newspaper. Also an article on PRweb and an article from AsianWeek titled "Proselytizing the Game". How many more "media" sources do I need? I could of course try to take out as many of the "unreliable" sources and replace them with other links if you give me the chance? Please let me know. Much appreciated, Kip 78 (talk) 22:15, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- I don't want to pester or nag, but I'd really appreciate it if you could restore the article so that I can remove all unreliable sources and replace them with reliable ones. Thanks a lot Kip 78 (talk) 16:15, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Hey again Bearcat, I just have two questions. First, if we have enough reliable sources, is it still necessary to remove ALL unreliable sources? I still feel, for instance, the VH1 link and link to his blog are relevant for the reader to get more info and so forth. Second question, how do I link to the same resource twice without it remunerating itself? I noticed in the article I had 25 resources in the end, where a few were just repeated more than once throughout the article. Of course, considering this is allowed. Kip 78 (talk) 22:56, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Hi again Bearcat. Sorry if you're too busy to respond but I was wondering if you could answer my questions above? If you're busy IRL I totally understand and will ask another admin to look into it for me. Let me know. Best wishes and hope your week is going well!

Jack Zolov
Hi,
I just came across the fact that you deleted the Wikipedia page that I created for film maker Jack Zolov for blatant advertising. I created this page in order to protect Mr. Zolov's legacy. He's a film maker in his late 70s and didn't have the chance to have his work all put on the internet. Through talking with him, I tried to create the page for him. The page only reflects a very small proportion of all his work.
There would be no reason to do advertising for him as he is now retired and works on small projects once in a while. He certainly doesn't need any publicity. I would like to know why the page was deleted. It is my first Wikipedia submission and if you have any comments or additions, please feel free to add them but deleting the page altogether is a little drastic.
Thanks,
Alexandre Guertin

Diving articles
Hi there. Good catch with User:Matt779977's articles. Was following up on one of his first articles, Michael Hixon (on which I've done the hard work of expanding) and saw his other articles which you PRODed. Have seconded the PRODs and added one for the 2012 Diving World Cup - although that event is closer, there still isn't any new information we know about it. Will be following the situation on those articles. Regards, Strange Passerby (talk) 12:24, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, thought you might be interested in looking at Speed skating at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics, another similar article by him I've PRODded. Although the 2012 WYOG is much closer than the 2014 SYOG, there's still nothing much that can be said about it that isn't just a list of events within the sport. You might also be interested to see that he created 2010 Tucson (later moved by another contributor to 2010 Fina Junior Diving Championships), and has not seen/chosen not to take notice of my message to him at his talk page. If he continues along his current path creating articles like these in violation of notability guidelines and WP:CRYSTAL whilst at the same time making no effort to write the articles in wikimarkup despite conversation asking him to do so, do you think I should get an RFC/User?

Deleted: Graham Bell
Hello, You recently deleted a page called Graham Bell (writer, teacher, entrepreneur) because of "Blatant Advertising". Could you please advise me which exact parts of it you thought were out of line, so that I can edit them before reposting. It was not in the slightest intended to be an advert and I did spend a lot of time making sure (or so I thought) that it was completely impartial!

Deletion of LasikPlus Entry
Hi, You recently deleted the LasikPlus Wikipedia entry due to Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion.
Could you please explain the certain phrases that you feel were not "encyclopedic," or that you felt would consider grounds for deletion? I would like to understand so I can edit and revise as necessary to stay true to Wikipedia guidelines. Thank you. Much appreciated. I too, am a newbie to Wikipedia and would like the lesson.

Beats redirect - admin abuse
Considering user:Bearcat lacks credibility on the subject at hand, it is not appropriate for the user to take such aggressive actions. Bearcat blocked editing due to excessive spamming? Does two edits constitutes excessive spamming? According to Wikipedia "While most articles can be edited by anyone, semi-protection is sometimes necessary to prevent vandalism to popular pages." Is Beats a popular page?! Does the ample use of legitimate resources constitute vandalism? I disagree. I created the page BEATS to provide information on an emerging musical genre. Small, yes... but well documented for it's size, and growing quickly. I would be more comfortable with the aggressive actions or Bearcat if the user had any relevant experience in the field of electronic music. Can Bearcat even provide one single piece of evidence that the genre does not exist? User:Bearcat has a talk page full of complaints and a contribution page filled with the footprints of bots. I ask that Bearcat please stop abusing their admin privileges, and please focus their itchy trigger finger at subjects they have at least nominal competency.

Hi. Question about edits.
Hi, I noticed you removed some underscores from the file names in images at the Olivetti M19 page. I'm curious why. It seems to me that removing them has no benefit but it does increase the probability that a future editor will break the image name and not realize it. Removing them also makes the source harder to read. What is the purpose of removing them? Jason Quinn (talk) 12:41, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

The page Eye of All
Good Afternoon Bearcat,
I have noticed that the page that I put together with permission and legitimate information is up for deletion. I have provided several links in the page to show credibility but I am not sure ( because I am not really a computer whiz ) what else to do to be complete in the guidelines. The band has been in regular rotation on a radio station with their single No Control ( HFS94.7 ) and has been in a national music competition in which they were runners up to the winner out of six bands. The competition was sponsored and promoted by a legitimate radio station and a national food chain California Tortilla. The band has also had a performance aired on a Baltimore, MD television channel. I am submitting this appeal in hopes that my page would be reconsidered and not deleted. I understand that in your position you come across thousands of bogus pages and I am sure that it keeps you extremely busy and I in no way want to keep you any busier then you already are.

Eye of All
Dear Bearcat,
Thank You for your input, I never realized how hard it would be to have a page published in Wikipedia. I have consulted another Wiki member to help me and the links to the sources have been changed to show actual publishing directly and some of the wording has been changed (ie. One of the largest radio stations on the web ) after reading it several time I realized that you were correct in saying that it is pure speculation. And because I cannot provide a proper link to the television performance it was taken out as well. It is unfortunate that in your position you have to face angry posts and arguments over why a page is legitimate or not, I on the other hand am grateful for you review, one because I am learning as I go along and two they obviously have you doing this for a reason..you know what you are doing. After reviewing my changes I would appreciate any input you can provide, I really want this page to be published without controversy from Wikipedia, Eye of All may not be super famous rock stars but they do deserve their own Wikipedia page ( I know...it's an opinion not a fact )

I noticed that this is both protected and very outdated. The newspaper is delivered to my door, so I know it is in current publication.
Perhaps it is best that you either correct the entry to refer to this monthly publication as being active and politically involved or simply remove all references to it.

Could you please help me by removing the picture. Thanks, -- Platyfishkeeper chat 15:54, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Botchamania
Why did you delete the "Maffew's Botchamania" page? It is a big enough part of pop culture to be mentioned in other wikipedia articles, as well as various websites, radio shows, magazines and other media.
Hi. Back in April, you PRODded this, and it was deleted. Undeletion has been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to consider taking it to AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
- FYI, I have flagged that article as a {{Copyvio}} after checking the long list of URLs used as "Articles" (most of which had evaporated). — 71.166.157.40 (talk) 20:39, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Orphan tag for Coffea charrieriana
Just trying to understand the concept of Orphan for articles, why did you place the tag on a page that has over 100 links to it? -- Nashville Monkey talk -- 04:00, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- So, it is no longer an orphan? Yet I have seen other articles that have at least that many links and are still classified as such. Kinda confusing. Sorry just happened to stumble across this article and it piqued my interest. Lucky you, huh? -- Nashville Monkey talk -- 04:11, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- Or is it still one since the links come from a template and not the article? -- Nashville Monkey talk -- 04:12, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
thank you
Hi mate, never a week goes by without your name appearing on Special:RecentChangesLinked/User:John Vandenberg/New pages. Either you are hounding me, or I am indebted to you. ;-) Cheers, John Vandenberg (chat) 11:19, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Why make an edit like this? It adds 4 lines to a one line stub. The stub template at the bottom already tells a reader that it is not a developed article and neither of the boxes that you added contribute anything of further use to a reader of the article, it just adds maintenance information for editors which should be placed on the talk page. If you had added the information:
- "This article is an orphan, as few or no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; suggestions are available. (August 2010)" and "This article has not been added to any categories. Please help out by adding categories to it so that it can be listed with similar articles. (August 2010)"
Rather than overwhelming a one line a sourced stub, with four lines of editorial comment why not put such comments on the talk page? -- PBS (talk) 01:30, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
- You are allowed to use you own discretion! Where do you think a consensus exists? See for example template talk:Orphan I see no evidence that there is. -- PBS (talk) 04:25, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
Regarding Hindi Imposition page
Hi,
This is regarding the redirection of the page Hindi Imposition (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hindi_imposition&oldid=386682273) to Hindu Nationalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_nationalism). There are 3 reasons given for this redirection:
1)The article has very little content
2)It may not meet Wikipedia's neutral point of view requirements
3)It could easily be included in Hindu Nationalism
While I completely agree with reason (1) and partially agree with reason (2), I totally disagree with (3).
Hindi Imposition in India refers to the initiatives by the central government of India to popularize Hindi language through various measures. Many states in Indian republic have protested against. For eg : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Hindi_agitations_of_Tamil_Nadu
Hindu nationalism refers to social and political initiatives to define a Nationhood based on spiritual and cultural aspects of the Indian sub-continent.
Hindi Imposition and Hindu Nationalism are totally different topics. Hence I would strongly suggest to delete the redirect and the original page and request the authors to compose the article more systematically.
regards

Re your move to Les Chemins de verre, do you know if "chemins" is actually capitalised? French grammar says that only the first word should be capitalised, so I'd imagine that the "official" title would be lowercase. However, I haven't physically looked at the album to see. Cheers, -M.Nelson (talk) 02:21, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
- Interesting; never heard of that rule before (though this confirms that you're right). -M.Nelson (talk) 02:29, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
- Makes sense; a list would look strange if it said "chemins de verre, Les". Now I can tick off "learn more banalities of French grammar" on my to-do list..... -M.Nelson (talk) 02:44, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
Regarding the protection of "Hindi Imposition" page
Hi, Regarding the protection of "Hindi Imposition" page,I could not finish up updating the page with all details.I created the page and added some links. We still have a lot of content to add and before that the page got redirected and so protected now.
Please read below the difference between Hindi Imposition and Hindu Nationalism.
Hindi is a language in India and HindU is a religion.
There are 22+ recognised National languages in India.One among them is Hindi. The history of Hindi Imposition dates back to 1950's when India was created.When India got its independence from British,it was a union of different states all of which had different languages.SO the government wanted to enforce a single language across the country and made that language as Hindi. There were widespread protests and demonstrations in Tamilnadu,Karnataka and other southern states opposing this imposition of Hindi. We want to detail the happenings of all these years and present a neutral opinion.
HindU Nationalism is a topic related to religion and no where related to language.
Please unprotect it and give us sometime to update the article.We can review it after it is updated and if we still feel it is related to HindU nationalism,we can redirect it.

Barista Training
You've deleted my wiki "Barista Training" that I have worked very hard to create. Fair enough if it doesn't meet your critera, however you have not given me the opportunity to correct it. This is not courtious. Where can we go from here? I would like my wiki back so i can have the fair chance to make the changes the are required.

The Coalition (Fight Music) Erroneous Deletion
I believe that the notability requirement was satisfied with the content that was put on there. This band is the first group of musicians to sponsor an athlete. I know this to be true in MMA, and I wouldn't be surprised to find out if this were true for any sport, meaning that no other musician has promoted and paid out to an athlete.
Please revert the deletion and I will do my best to further clarify the notability of this band.

The article WODE has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Advert for a product which contains no secondary sourcing to establish notability
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 {{dated prod}}
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 {{dated prod}}
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.

I asked David Eppstein about this. I am inclined to agree that in actuality every article will need a project cat, and I see your point technically they will still show up on sensible scans, but like orphans I can see no inherent rule that says every article must be categorised. Rich Farmbrough, 18:46, 27 September 2010 (UTC).
- Yes, hence inherent. We write the rules... Rich Farmbrough, 18:56, 27 September 2010 (UTC).
- In other words is it just us being categorisers? Rich Farmbrough, 18:57, 27 September 2010 (UTC).
- We have categories because they are useful. And I'm not against catting every page/article, just wondering if there is in fact a reason other than "Nearly all are catted, by catting the remainder we can be sure that we have not left any out by accident." - which is a good enough reason. Rich Farmbrough, 19:11, 27 September 2010 (UTC).
- Well I'm not going to loose any sleep over whether it's categorised or not. And I certainly think categorisers do an outstanding task. Rich Farmbrough, 19:42, 27 September 2010 (UTC).

Skoosh page
Hi Bearcat,
I'm interested to know in what way the article on Skoosh constituted 'Blatant Advertising'. The company is a big part of a current affairs story in the UK/World Travel industry at the moment, and at least a brief stub is surely appropriate for a company that is arousing some interest worldwide. As far as I could tell everything that was printed was fact and referenced to appropriate sources (Financial Times, the Office of Fair Trading).
Please advise how best to resolve this.

Toronto City Council Election, 2010
Hi Bearcat, There was some discussion about putting in links to candidates' own websites, and I respected the decision not to do that anymore. Now, in the Ward Ten section, user "BrianShiffman", who has no other edits to his credit, has put in a very long campaign style description about I assume himself, one of the candidates. I deleted it and made it shorter, and "BrianShiffman" put it right back. I have no desire to get into an editing war. If you have a chance to have a look at this particular edit, I'd appreciate it. I feel a little out of my depth here.

As far as you know, isn't TAS NOT part of Star Trek Canon or approved Star Trek films and TV series? I made an edit on wikipedia's Star Trek article and someone just reverted it without explanation here which is a bit irritating. TAS is indeed featured on startrek.com and I do agree that this show should be part of Star Trek's canon but Gene Roddenberry apparently never did like the animated Star Trek version---even though it won an Emmy in the 1970's and he did produce this show and accepted a paycheck for making it. (Roddenberry made Paramount explicitly ban TAS from the 'so-called' Star Trek canon strangely in the 1980s or 1990) I'm not interested in an edit war but do you know much about the situation today? That's all I ask.
I think the situation is unchanged. If so, wikipedia's Star Trek page shouldn't say that this show is Canon just because its on the official startrek web page. After all, this web page is owned by Paramount who want to sell as much Star trek related stuff as possible. But in their contract with Gene, TAS is not part of the Star Trek Canon...last I heard.

Hey, I am not sure if you or the Canadian side of WP:WPRS is aware of this or not, but Recnet.com, the website that handles the coverage range links for Canadian stations, will be going offline on October 16th. There is no projected date for when this site will be back online according to this page from the site. I am not sure of another site that provides the same information for coverage as Recnet does.
