Hello, I'm Anup. I noticed, we had an (edit conflict) while tagging Mr_Mohammed_Sani_Musa page for deletion. You made it blp-prod and I, CSD#A11. I made a google search, there's no sign of significance, even the company the subject claims to be a CEO of, probably doesn't exists (at least on Google). I've removed blp-prod and let A11 remain on the article, because I guess, it doesn't warrant to stay up even a week. If you believe, I've made a mistake, consider nominating it for deletion. Thank you and happy editing! Anupmehra -Let's talk! 12:21, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your help with the vital work of patrolling new pages. I noticed that you are not marking some of the pages you've reviewed as patrolled. Please do remember to click the 'mark this page as patrolled' link at the bottom of the new page if you have performed the standard patrolling tasks. Where appropriate, doing so saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page, so that they do not duplicate efforts. I could still see yellow highlights in New pages after you edit a page that is not made by you. Eyesnore (pc) 20:07, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
If that is the rule is, do what is needed to be done, honest to goodness it is not my intention to sell anything using wikipedia and also i do not intend to own somebody's work, i even cited the source of the information. I accept my fault of not learning/reading the rules and guidelines in using wikipedia. My apology!
Regards to you all! GOD Bless! Chrisbrain1907 (talk) 01:27, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ruby! Thanks for reviewing the Earth Law Center page. I made substantial updates in terms of using objective/neutral language, attributing any subjective language to Earth Law Center, and adding many references. Would you mind taking another look at it? Thank you very much. Grantstanleywilson (talk) 18:29, 28 March 2014 (UTC)Grant

I've read the warnings, and I'm trying to improve the page, but I'm new to this...
I am a member of the band, in fact. The entry "Confusional Quartet" is already present in the italian wikipedia, since some years. Many people from different countries asked for an english version, so I decided to make one. I'm trying to follow as much as possible the rules of Wiki. I've found some links in the english wiki, so I added a link to the band from the voice "italian rock", and I linked back from the page. I also added a link to "Bloody Beetroots", present in the english wiki. Other links are in Italian, I read that is preferrable to avoid these, but since there aren't more... I also added links to the bibliography, mainly websites where you can buy the books, but they contain some further information about the books themselves. Moreover, these books are not about the band Confusional Quartet, but more generally about the history of Italian Rock music, so I think that they could be useful for anyone interested to this subject.
I don't really know about "inline citations", maybe you can help me. Do you think that inline citations are applicable to this case? As I told, there's only one Wiki voice about Italian Rock bands, which I already linked (from and to). Could this link be a citation?
thank you very much for your kind help

It took me three hours to write "1939 Herald Exhibition of French and British Contemporary Art", even though the material first appeared in my blog "Art and Architecture, mainly" five years ago. But I have read more research in the meantime and wanted to be thorough.
Despite me logging into Wiki in my own name (Helen Webberley), you warned you would immediately delete my very very long entry in Wikipedia because it breached the copyright of "Art and Architecture, mainly". So I wrote back instantly saying "Art and Architecture, mainly" was written by me, Helen Webberley, as you can see on the blog. Nonetheless the Wiki entry was deleted :( 1750 words lost :(
If you believed the quality of the history writing was not scholarly enough, I would have appreciated a note citing alternative references on the 1939 Herald Exhibition of French and British Contemporary Art.

I've just created an article on the above and made the mistake of creating it via an incorrect link which has given the article an incorrect title. Sorry about that. The subjects name is Hubert not Herbert. Graemp (talk) 10:04, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Ruby, changed the template for deletion on this article Pino Joy titled Chief Keef from A10 to G2 as more resembles a testpage with all the faulty coding all over the place. If you feel this is incorrect feel free to revert thanks --KaraokeMac (talk) 10:11, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
I disagree in the strongest terms with your deletion of this additional biographical information I was writing. It is all factual and easily sourced which I returned to do hours later only to find it deleted. The public rebukes by former American champions and high-profile parents of Mr McEnroe are unprecedented in the history of USTA Player Development and the controversy/crisis surrounding his leadership is the singlemost defining aspect of McEnroe's post-Davis Cup career. Thus, by deleting it, what you have left people with is a puff piece that showcases his accomplishments with a grinning self-serving PR photo and hides his utter failures as General Manager of USTA Player Development that have caused national outrage. Every line in the piece I was writing came from widely-distributed national columns (like this one http://www.hannity.com/article/sean-s-analysis-on-usta/15702) and or to public correspondence between Patrick McEnroe and coaches like Wayne Bryan or public letters on the USTA website (like this http://www.usta.com/Youth-Tennis/Junior-Competition/patrick_mcenroes_response_to_sean_hannitys_analysis_on_usta/). Again, I was not finished citing sources but your knee-jerk deletion of 100% ACCURATE INFORMATION that already had some key embedded links to the sources I would cite makes me doubt Wikipedia's mission statement. It appears you only want fawning bios of famous people.MannySchotz (talk) 12:47, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
That is helpful. I am realizing just how much I have to learn. I'm not sure how it is subjective to say "the results of American men during his tenure are stark by any measure" when you have none in the second week of the US Open for the last two years (unprecedented in the modern era) and none going past the third round of Wimbledon in 2013 for the first time in over a century. Those are facts and this is the context in which the debate about player development is occurring. American tennis has always produced a steady stream of champions; suddenly it has none in sight and Patrick McEnroe is in charge of player development and taking junior tennis in a direction a lot of very experienced coaches and players disagree with. Anyway, a specific question if you don't mind. Here is a letter to Patrick McEnroe from Robert Lansdorp, a legendary figure in tennis who has coached many past champions. It was posted online by Robert Lansdorp himself on tennisconsult.com. [1]
Robert Lansdorp Writes To Patrick McEnroe - October 15, 2013
"I am happy that my career started a long time ago. And my last Champion was Maria Sharapova, a Russian who had nothing to do with the USTA. I think they were trying to make her an American so the USTA could claim her, but it did not work out. Maria was or is too proud to be a Russian and good for her. The USTA 20 years ago was not as blatant and desperate for a Champions as Patrick McEnroe. In my early days the USTA was not into stealing players from private coaches, like McEnroe is. This has to stop because coaches in this country will rather work with non Americans or won’t give their heart and soul to the student, because they know that when the kid is 15 or 16 and shows great promise, the USTA will come and convince the parents to go with the USTA, instead of involving the private coach in continuing to work with his or her student. Can’t you see that Patrick? What is wrong with you??? Very attractive to the parents, because the USTA will fit the bill for everything, plus give tons of wild cards. Hopefully parents will realize that wild cards are not going to make their kids CHAMPIONS. Take my word. It does not work. I heard that the USTA is not alone into this taking students from private coaches. I think England is doing it and I think so is Australia. Yes Australia. England we can understand, because they don’t know what the hell they are doing, and are very desperate. But Australia? France I think has a different system. If a Frenchman reads this, maybe he can explain to me what they are doing. In all my years of coaching, the USTA has never send me a student, never. Canada is sending me several young juniors. Some are just great and I am just dying to prove to the USTA that at the time Mc Enroe’s stint is up, these Canadian kids will show what a real CHAMPION is. Patrick I will do anything to prove my point..."
Ruby, since this letter is addressed directly to Patrick McEnroe and posted directly by Robert Lansdorp, can I quote freely from the text as an example of prominent coaches questioning McEnroe's leadership and decision-making as General Manager of USTA Player Development? For example, to capture the contentious tone of the debate, can I quote Lansdorp saying: "In my early days the USTA was not into stealing players from private coaches, like McEnroe is. This has to stop because coaches in this country will rather work with non Americans or won’t give their heart and soul to the student, because they know that when the kid is 15 or 16 and shows great promise, the USTA will come and convince the parents to go with the USTA, instead of involving the private coach in continuing to work with his or her student. Can't you see that Patrick? What is wrong with you???"
Is that quote allowable under Wikipedia policy? Can I build my article using a series of quotes like this from different sources (Wayne Bryan, Tim Mayotte) like beads of a necklace?MannySchotz (talk) 00:16, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
I took another shot at the Patrick McEnroe General Manager entry. Could you review? I would appreciate your feedback.MannySchotz (talk) 02:54, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. I think we're missing the scale of what is happening, i.e. the current draft makes it sound like Robert Lansdorp is the only coach who disagrees with the U10 mandate but there has been widespread condemnation. Juniors have trained from age 6 and 7 to compete in national U10 tournaments and suddenly all those tournaments disappeared, converted into mini tennis events with beginner balls. People are FURIOUS. I've avoided listing the names of everyone who disagrees with Patrick McEnroe (the list is very long and their criticisms are scathing -- I've also left out, of course, that Patrick is a bit of a bully and is known to retaliate against families who speak out against the USTA, which Wayne Bryan touches on in his letter). But my point is it's the unprecedented massive public outcry against these mandates that makes the events notable. The Santa Monica Mirror article, "Coaches Unite Under Bryan To Challenge U10 Mandate, says: "In a forum PACKED with tennis coaches and interested parties that flew in from as far away as Arizona just to speak their minds..." If we paraphrase that by saying "several coaches and professionals" it makes it sound like it was a handful of people chatting peacefully when it was hundreds in a heated debate. Thanks again for teaching me the ropes.MannySchotz (talk) 10:51, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Not going to call him a bully, I am just trying convey to you my effort at neutrality and powers of restraint. :)MannySchotz (talk) 01:56, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
Can you removed genre with unreliable sources that JayJ47 added? Thanks.

Hi Ruby! I'm still trying to get the hang of Wikipedia, and learning how to properly author and reference encyclopedia articles. So I really appreciate your help! On the Morton's The Steakhouse and Landry's Seafood pages, I think I've now removed any promotional content. Would you mind taking a look for me, I trust your judgement. And if everything is okay, maybe get rid of the "promotional content notices" at the top. I'll leave it up to you, I won't delete again :)
