This individual is a personal friend, is referenced in a number of articles and does desire to have his article restored, which I don't believe he ever edited. I did not create the article but will restore it if there's no explanation and after further review of the logs. Looked at your edit history around the time of the deletion and there were a string of them on the prior day but can't find this one with any discussion but presume there's a prod log. Lycurgus (talk) 12:04, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Noting I would have done this but admin access needed to get to the deleted text. Could get from wayback or whatever but will leave as is unless Curtis asks me to follow thru on that, which it doesn't appear he will. Why don't you give some thought to your use of this site? 76.180.168.166 (talk) 14:36, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Secret, I believe I posted my question to you in the wrong place. User_talk:Secret/IPs#questions_about_the_ban-hammer If you have time, I'd appreciate it if you took a look. The appeal has gone to arbcom, with a desysop request. Yuck. Feel free to ping my talkpage if I don't respond promptly. — 74.192.84.101 (talk) 07:54, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Jack Warhop you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Wizardman -- Wizardman (talk) 21:51, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

The article Jack Warhop you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Jack Warhop for things which need to be addressed.

You are not an administrator, yet there are userboxes and categories on your userpage that make the insinuation that you are. These should be removed. 76.173.66.55 (talk) 21:34, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Actually, he is. He was on temporary leave by his own request ES&L 23:59, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I want to talk about Jessie Rogers article, which you deleted. I created the article and I have it on my watchlist, so I have noticed how often it is vandalised, a problem that was temporarily resolved when the article was semi-protected. I think it would be a better idea to restore the article, semi-protect it again (indefinitely this time), block users whose edits to the article are disruptive, and remove all negative and unsourced information from the article. I'm not sure what the article looked like at the time you deleted, but could you please restore it back to it's most recent, not vandalized version? I'm also sure that notability isn't an issue with Rogers, who passes the WP notability guidelines with multiple nominations for prestigious awards and a win for a fan's choice award, which is proof of her large fan base. Her article has never had an AfD or PROD either. Rebecca1990 (talk) 14:55, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Most of the latest version fit policy. I noticed no direct BLP, and it may have been deleted shortly after the vandalism has been reverted. I am reversing your deletion, putting it up on WP:DRV and indefinetly semi-protecting it. --w^{L<speak·check>} 08:09, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Jessie Rogers. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. w^{L<speak·check>} 08:21, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for getting this editor's attention. I have made some comments which I hope you will find constructive below her unblock request. I have offered help despite her unwise outburst on my talk page, assuming you or someone else feels she is worthy of a second third chance. Fiddle Faddle 19:02, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Let me see her reply before I unblock her for one final chance. Secret ^account 19:10, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Kudos and gratitude to FiddleFaddle for sticking to pillar four despite provocation. Can somebody please fact-check my lessons for PrincessK over on her talkpage, and make sure I'm not leading her astray? She's already going to be on a pretty short WP:ROPE, so I'd feel bad if she got unblocked, and then fell into a pit-trap because I gave her bad advice. Danke. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 19:38, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Secret. I've been asked to take another look at this, based on my previous unblock decline. I'm of the opinion that PrincessK could be unblocked now, on the condition that she refrains from adding any article about her friends/clients in future. Are you of like mind? Yunshui 雲‍水 13:46, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I guess you are. Good stuff, cheers for doing the necessary. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:14, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at this link. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at the election commissioners. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, TParis

Just when i logged after few hours i noticed that the talk page has been deleted due to "Mass deletion of pages added by 188.30.206.238" also it was blocked. I believe this could be done to avoid vandalism and promote good faith. I couldn't properly find what kind of activity the IP user made. Is it possible to restore the talk page to its original initial form else can it created again or may it be in the present blank status. Please advice on what can be done. Thanks. --Bala(blitz) 12:57, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Not worth restoring, it was an IP address impersonating another editor with vandalism tags. Sorry Secret ^account 13:53, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

I had the page on my watchlist due to other discussions, but I saw you closed Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2013 November 27#File:Michael Harris Ph.D., Academic.jpg with a statement stating that you had spoken with the uploader and that you can "confirm this". I am assuming that you believe that you can confirm that the person that you spoke with has released the rights to the image. Although I believe you are trying to do the right thing, I'm not sure you handled it the best way for now and the future. Don't you think it would be better to have the uploader (who seems to be the subject and probably has a WP:COI with a majority of their edits) send an email to Permissions of WP:OTRS using the process outlined at WP:PERMISSION? I know you are WP:AGF, but this this issue could potentially come up again. If there were appropriate documentation through the WP:OTRS process, that would trump any potential further issues. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 01:18, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm waiting for the OTRS email to process now so I could confirm it as a free image. I spoke to the editor online who reassured me that he is subject, looked at what was going on which is clearly a bunch of biting, closed the debate early and told them to confirm the image to OTRS. As an OTRS agent I know the process. Thanks Secret ^account 01:29, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

On 13 December 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Sammy Drake, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Sammy Drake and his brother Solly Drake were the first two African-American brothers to play in Major League Baseball? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sammy Drake. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi. I have noted that you have just deleted three files that I uploaded; File:1925 Lothian Small.jpg, File:1925 William Preston.jpg and File:1925 Thomas Macnamara.jpg . I believe these files were deleted in error, so I ask you please to restore them. I was notified of the initial concern and re-classified them as PD-UK as all three were published in the UK in 1925. While the source claim copyright, under UK law, that copyright has expired.Graemp (talk) 05:49, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Why did you delete the vibroacoustic therapy article? Cyrinus (talk) 05:50, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

You recently deleted Sex for Fish in terms of "02:59, 16 December 2013 Secret (Talk | contribs) deleted page Sex for Fish (A10: Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic, Jaboya system)" - But this is a mistake. The article Jaboya system covers only one specific variant of the Sex for Fish phenomenon as practiced in only one locality while the phenomenon actually exists in a broad region under a variety of names. The Sex for Fish article is the broader overall article and a consensus has emerged to merge Jaboya system into Sex for Fish - I was offline for a few days so I couldn't do the merger earlier. Deleting Sex for Fish because Jaboya System exists is similar to deleting Automobile because Ford exists. I will perform the merger as soon as possible after you undelete Sex for Fish. Thanks Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 08:25, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

I restored it, I recommend merging one of the two articles. Secret ^account 14:12, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United Tournament

Dear Secret,

I saw you closed the discussion for the United Tournament nomination as "no consensus". 4 Keeps against only 1 Delete in my opinion qualifies as "The result was keep for the article, and delete for season pages". Is it possible to change it please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.24.123.150 (talk) 21:34, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Please restore the article, I had re-written it when an admin inserted the copyright infringement tag into the article but didn't remove the tag after the rewrite. The matching phrases are not copyright infringement, they were company names like "High Speed Ship Building and Engineering Co. Ltd." and some common phrases like "established on the" etc. Please have look at it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akib.H (talk • contribs) 09:43, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that you called for the deletion of Ariel Pink's "Underground" album as well as his "Odditties Sodomies Vol. 1" album.

I understand that you don't view Ariel Pink's early album releases as significant, but he has plenty of documentation as a critically successful and commercially charting musician in his work just a few years later. It seems silly to remove information about his early albums simply because they're less popular. If he's a successful musician in general, the argument that any of his releases are insignificant seems strange.

I had tried to visit these pages for some basic background information on the album (dates, personnel, etc.), which is now unavailable anywhere on wikipedia. A stub would be vastly more useful than a deleted link. Please get back to me when you have the chance.

Secret, it's been 40 days since you opened this review, and have not as yet posted any portion of it. If you don't intend to get started soon, it should perhaps be returned to the reviewing pool while the current review drive is still open, in the hopes that it will attract a reviewer able to complete the review in a more timely fashion. Please let me know how you intend to proceed. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:31, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

why did you delete the article named "Dreamtwinz" even when the article talk page clearly stated that an email was sent to wikipedia from the copyright owner to donate the text content with accordance to the rules, the template OTRS pending was placed on the article's talk page showing that it was pending approval, so you should have waited first before deleting both the article and talk page! --Greemcomics (talk) 03:11, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tejano Music Awards 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/Tejano Music Awards 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. JayJay^{What did I do?} 18:23, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Do you know the newbie wants to talk to you? IMHO, Ubikwit and STSC should have politely asked the newbie that s/he should not join the SI RM as it was a very controversial topic and not a place for newbies, strike out her/his vote/edits there and leave. It seems to me that the user sounded reasonable and civil enough on the RM. I understand that the user knows WP well, but is it difficult to give the user a chance?
