Hi, due to better reliable sources, I have recreated the [[Alec Powers]] article previously deleted, see [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Alec_Powers]]. Considering his body of work, it seems odd to me that it was thought at the time that sources could not be found. Hopefully further reliable sources can be found to substantiate the article.

:Looks fine to me; notability seems to be fairly clear now. The article that was deleted was pretty bad and didn't show any of the awards or coverage your new version does; so it doesn't surprise me it did get deleted - perhaps nobody with knowledge of the subject matter happened to notice the AfD. Nice work, anyway. ~ <font color="#228b22">[[User:Mazca|'''m'''a'''z'''c'''a''']]</font> <sup>[[User_talk:Mazca|talk]]</sup> 18:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC) |

Thank you
Thank you for blocking that user. I totally got him to admit how many accounts he had. Haha.(MDesjardinss (talk) 21:17, 25 December 2009 (UTC))
- No problem. I've failed to establish exactly what and why he's doing what he's doing, but the fact is very clear that it's entirely disruptive and wholly unhelpful. All the best! ~ mazca talk 21:19, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
- I guess this is Ahmedfarhat (talk · contribs). He is requesting unblock and promising good behaviour. He had earlier claimed to have "like 6 other accounts" but now says here that he has only one other, Better As We Go (talk · contribs), which has not edited since 6 November. What do you think about blocking that one and giving him another chance? JohnCD (talk) 15:47, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
- Given the admission of sockpuppet accounts and the promise of good behaviour I've unblocked him. We'll see if he uses this opportunity to turn around. ~ mazca talk 22:27, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Fast Train
Hello Mazca, perhaps you can help. As I've described at User talk:Daniel.Cardenas#Fast Train, a user has hijacked (proper noun) name-space "Fast Train", only to redirect that name-space to High-speed rail. I believe this move (to "Fast Train (song)") was completely unnecessary as it's unlikely to cause any problems the way it was. I do however, have no idea how to conduct such a revert in a proper manner, but believe you do. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- WikHead (talk) 00:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Update - As discussed at User talk:Daniel.Cardenas#Fast Train, this matter has already been partially dealt with. However, if you could kindly swap the name-space "Fast Train (song)" with "Fast Train", everything would then be put back where it was before all the moving began, and I'd be a much happier camper. Thank you for your time and patience Mazca, and have yourself a happy new year! -- WikHead (talk) 01:46, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- All done. Let me know if I can be of further assistance! ~ mazca talk 02:28, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- Wow Mazca! Thank you so much for your speedy response and willingness to co-operate in such a courteous and efficient manner. You certainly are a perfect example of what good adminship is all about :). Top o'the season to you once again! -- WikHead (talk) 03:55, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Why did you Delete information on Shaycarl?
Shaycarl is a very popular You Tube personality. It seems kind of odd that his page and all information about him was deleted. Was this possible at his request because his page had his real name? Just curious as to why you deleted his info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zanthor50 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- He did not make any such request as far as I'm aware. My comments at the articles for deletion discussion basically give the reasoning: while he definitely does seem to be "popular" there hasn't been any kind of in-depth coverage in reliable sources like newspapers and books that allow us to write a verifiable article. When it comes to an article about a real person we have to be very careful about what information Wikipedia publishes about them, and it needs to be traceable to another source. ~ mazca talk 12:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
RfA Thanks

Thank you for your help. The user usually doesn't explain their edits and harbors(also creates) several profiles to do this. Is WP:ANI still the correct place to report them?Carmaker1 (talk) 01:13, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yes - any issue that's more complicated than simple vandalism generally should be reported to WP:ANI rather than WP:AIV, AIV is mostly for fast blocks of obvious vandalism. ~ mazca talk 07:49, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
A recent AfD
It appears you forgot to remove a AfD template.--Rockfang (talk) 22:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Now removed, thanks for letting me know. ~ mazca talk 23:06, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
