Good job

Good job creating building and a list article, but I would suggest using The Skyscraper Center as a go-to first-line source, they are now the database for the CTBUH. Emporis is riddled with errors and SkyscraperPage is often outdated and also often flawed. Skyscraper Center is not perfect but much better than the former sources. B137 (talk) 02:18, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will do and found that out when some of the buildings didn't match current names and information. Adog104 (talk) 02:21, 17 September 2015 (UTC)Adog104[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dwarkadheesh temple, Gujrat

The article Dwarkadheesh temple, Gujratwas created because originally it was named Dwarkadheesh temple only and there are two major Hindu temples with same name. The second temple with same name is the one I just created named Dwarkadheesh temple Mathuraand named it so just to distinguish between the two. Therefore I rename dthe old ane as such with Gujrat sufix and the original name was used in the Disambig page pointing to both the articles.

Further one more point to be noted that there are many other temples also in India with the same name, and reserve the use of the same name in future also. Therefore the future pages will continue to be made with the location suffix and a link in the Disambig page.

I have been a noted contributor in Hindi wiki for long and had been a bureaucrat also there. So I knew the practice of the disambig pages. Although some new change might not be known, which I can be aware if needed. --आशीष भटनागर (talk) 03:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Matador Shot

The Matador Shot does not appear to repeat an already existing article if you read the article. The Matador cocktail has three ingredients. Whereas the Matador Shot has eleven ingredients and is prepared considerably different. I do not understand why this has been tagged for deletion.

Nomination of American Airlines Flight 550 for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article American Airlines Flight 550 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Airlines Flight 550 until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

You noticed a mistake I made so quickly I didn't have a chance to fix it. Thanks! Thmazing (talk) 22:34, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thmazing; Yeah no problem! Since I look at patrolling new pages, I feel that edits are needed to make them appear better to the community that may have minor or big mistakes whether intended or not. Adog104 (talk) 22:43, 11 October 2015 (UTC)Adog104[reply]
There are pretty much always mistakes---or at least spots for improvement. That's pretty much my Wikipedia Article of Faith. Thmazing (talk) 22:55, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

THANK YOU from me also. :}~kay

WP:PROD

You may have noticed that I reversed your edit at Make a wifi connection. Per WP:PROD, "Any editor may object to the deletion by simply removing the tag; this action permanently cancels the proposed deletion via PROD." If you have any questions, please read WP:PROD and let me know. Thanks... reddogsix (talk) 23:53, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha, but reinstated your proposal earlier, author deleted it. Adog104 (talk) 23:54, 18 October 2015 (UTC)Adog104[reply]
The author is allowed to remove the PROD for articles they create. reddogsix (talk)
Oh, I'll remember that next time. Sorry! Adog104 (talk) 00:17, 19 October 2015 (UTC)Adog104[reply]

DB-A7

Hello, thanks for doing new page patrol. One note on A7 speedies, they are intended for a very specific set of circumstances: people (single or groups), companies, web sites, and events. A bunch of your recent A7s do not fit those circumstances. The one who keeps copying her patents in, that's not A7 even if the concept itself is non-notable (though actually G12 - copyright violation - applies there), and the one about how archery is like bow hunting, again that's not an A7. I would probably tag that one as A10 (recent article that doesn't tell us anything that can't be found in another article, in this case Archery). I know from doing patrol for a while that some articles just need to go, but don't think of A7 as a "generic bad article" tag. Few articles are so bad that sending them to AfD is too slow. Just some advice! CrowCaw 22:14, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, Crow! Fixed as of 22:56, 27 October 2015 (hopefully as the right DB's). Thank you again Crow and I'll make sure to use this as a reference if I come across a situation again, sorry.Adog104 (talk) 22:58, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Adog104[reply]

Wikipedia Asian Month is COMING!

Hi Adog104 ,

The Wikipedia Asian Month will begin in less than an hours, and once again, thank you for signing up! Let's help the world know more about Asia! Below are a few reminders for you:

  1. Please check out the rules here. Some rules have been adjusted—the most important being that on the English Wikipedia, stubs may be expanded with some limitations.
  2. Do take the time to read the Q&A if you have any questions, or ask on the talk page.
  3. The list of participants has been alphabetized so you can more easily find your name and report your contributions.
  4. There is a template that you can use on your user page. {{Template:User Asian Month‎}}

Enjoy the Wikipedia Asian Month :) --AddisWang (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Majestic International Cruises

Hello Adog104,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Majestic International Cruises for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. TheLongTone (talk) 15:43, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2015

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Sorry, but it's not your call. The company does not seem notable to me based on the article content. TheLongTone (talk) 14:33, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@TheLongTone: Well it doesn't have to be notable to just only you, it has to be notable by WP:NOTE. And I didn't read it carefully when removing it so I'll admit that was my mistake. The article was also red-linked to other ship/cruise related articles which was why I stated in the creation. I also intend to fix it later as I posted the 'expand section' to the history which isn't near completed, but I have to deal with other article talks and activities that prevent farther improvement as of now. And no, I did not remove the template this time as an admin reviewed it and deleted the speedy. Adog104 Talk to me 20:23, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough.TheLongTone (talk) 16:14, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Frozen CSD

Hi Adog104. Just to let you know, I've removed the speedy deletion templates that you added to the page List of Frozen characters, because I felt they didn't apply. See my comments at Talk:List of Frozen characters. Since I am not an administrator, I don't mind you restoring the tags if you disagree, or alternatively, you can nominate to WP:AFD. Basically, I think the list has a significant potential to be expanded, so that should be prioritized over deletion. Best, Mz7 (talk) 03:58, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha @Mz7:. Adog104 Talk to me 19:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hi how are you? I just wanted to start a conversation if that is okay with you. SwagMaster2030 (talk) 21:39, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that's ok, and I'm good. Are you? Adog104 Talk to me 21:41, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm good. I was looking through your user page and found that you are very active in Wikipedia. Good Job! Since you are clearly and expert at this, I was wondering if you could help me find out whats wrong with my user and talk pages. Whenever I click on them, it ways that they are unavailable. Can you please help me? Thanks so much in advance! SwagMaster2030 (talk) 21:50, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would love to help, I just may be busy as there are lots of things I'm going to deal with (including Majestic's deletion and other Wikipedia deeds), but I will help as soon as possible! Also thank you! And I wouldn't exactly say I'm an expert, yet. Adog104 Talk to me 23:16, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Prod tagging

I've noticed several times lately that you've added {{Prod blp/dated}} directly to articles. Please follow the instructions on that template and use {{subst:Prod blp}} instead. Thanks. Anomie 12:10, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Space top

The article was speedied a couple of times, but I think you can still see a video of it:File:Space top.webm. Probably that file should be deleted too, but I don't know how to do it. ubiquity (talk) 21:31, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither, but I did find this page which I think its how to delete the file @Ubiquity: if you want me to nominate it; and seems like a nice science invention that a teacher would show off, but it should be marked since its now an orphan. Adog104 Talk to me 22:14, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
my article is similar to Levitron, why my space top has to be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyrotop (talkcontribs) 22:20, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Gyrotop:Presuming if the above is from the user who I marked earlier. I marked it for a speedy deletion due to it being written as a promotion for a product/patent that you may or may not own (which is WP:G11) and I marked it as it had not indicated why the product important besides that "this is my product and here's information about how to get it" (which is WP:A7). However your product seems to resemble a Gyroscope, just only created by yourself, which isn't really your product, but a recreation of something that has already been created (which I'll give you props for creating it, it did seem cool). Adog104 Talk to me 22:29, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for the Barnstar. Much appreciated. Cptmrmcmillan (talk) 21:30, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No problem Cptmrmcmillan! Adog104 Talk to me 21:32, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your civility

Indeed, it was my fault to have created an article in the main space, instead of in my personal one (where there are 4 other drafts waiting). It was the first time it happened to me.

An brand-new serious Noticeboard challenge against me, to which I had to react in the background, may be partly to blame. Zezen (talk) 15:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Zezen; It's all good, on Wikipedia its all trial and error which you come to learn the easy way or the hard way. If your intentions are good (but may be questioned by others), try letting other know before any conflicts arise and try to keep a neutral point (and if you have any questions you can always ask anyone on Wikipedia for advice on what to do and what not to do). I know it can be stressful as others may not like it the way others edit, but we all try to do our best. Adog104 Talk to me 15:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sigh, believe me I tried the usual channels, e.g on Teahouse see here, but nobody replied, as you can see, alas. (A joint WP:ANI intervention was more successful a month ago at protection against hopping IPs.)
It is a tad complicated by now, see the Noticeboard report evolution, where Nec hercules contra plures seems to be developing. I need to log off and have a walk by now. Zezen (talk) 16:26, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Alrighty then, you can always try again there is no limits to who you can ask (and if the Teahouse doesn't help because of the stream of questions, you could always ask an admin or another user directly on their talk page). Also some advice, a Wikibreak or two is always the right choice when you become vexed as I usually do when I become ignored, annoyed, or just bored of editing. Cheers.

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Ueutyi. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, DJ Martin, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Ueutyi (talk) 00:45, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I have declined speedy deletion of this article. While it still requires cleanup, I think the notability problems cited in the previous AfD have been improved by the citation of a notable (?) award, so a deletion attempt should go through a new AfD.

Canadian?

Your user page makes no hint but are you Canadian, particularly Western Canadian? Whiskeymouth (talk) 01:09, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whiskeymouth; not particularly, more Floridian (I'm going for a Wiki-re-boot at the moment). Anyways the point is, I know others are possibly WP:BITING you at the moment, but I would like to see both sides assume good faith rather than have this back-and-forth behind each others backs kind of thing. I'm going to prescribe some WP:WIKILOVE (or a WP:WIKIBREAK) to you, SoftLavender, and Winkelvi so that you guys can talk this out later and hopefully come to a consensus. :) Cheers. Adog104 Talk to me 01:58, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm no idiot. If you are from Florida, then you must have been influenced by the large number of Canadian snowbirds that go to Florida every year. See, I can detect subtle differences in behavior, language, etc. As for Winkelvi, he has been blocked for the 9th time and for 1 month. I assume good faith but 9 times may suggest either very bad luck or chronic bad behavior. I do not twist the knife, though, as I will, as a token of good faith self block myself (not a formal block, just a simulated one) and not edit for several days. I'll start either today or tomorrow.Whiskeymouth (talk) 03:05, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Whiskeymouth: Although right about Canadians visitations to Florida [1], the influence statement is not correct whatsoever; I'm gonna go on a limb and say you can't detect behavior in text because... its text, there's no emotion in text, it's what people determine it as. And about Winkelvi, I wouldn't throw my cards on the table and blame him for everything because of recent actions, he isn't totally to blame. There are many reasons why he could've been banned 9 times, for instance, hes been on Wikipedia longer than we have, which is a simple reason*. Just please refrain from in-civil comments (WP:IUC), thank you. Adog104 Talk to me 22:16, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In Wikipedia, people make conclusions about behavior all the time and block. However, I will show sympathy for WV even though he has not treated me so kindly. In sympathy, I will stop editing for a week or at least a few days. Whiskeymouth (talk) 04:35, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Very true as attitudes are changing constantly and unexpectedly, but thank you for understanding. Adog104 Talk to me 12:38, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
