About your (non)participation in the January 2012 SOPA vote
Hi Werldwayd. I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Wikipedia. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Wikipedia's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian (66th to be exact), and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Wikipedia researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me. Thank you! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 23:23, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ahzee
The article Ahzee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Fails WP:MUSIC with only a handful of singles and no indication of any notability. Sources are all WP:PRIMARY and orphaned since 2013.
While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Karst (talk) 12:26, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

The article Raaban has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Tomas e (talk) 17:36, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nous Model Management
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Nous Model Management, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

- Hi, thank you for !voting strong support. Anyway, what are your analysis of the order of voting tonight? I might be blinded by nationalism but I can sense a early Eastern European country (Russia) gaining momentum and then a westen country (perhaps sweden) winning in the end. Let me know what you think.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
- I personally think Italy will win. It is a huge song. 1. Italy 2. Sweden 3. Belgium 4. Russia 5. Australia 6. Spain Australia's Guy Sebastian will also score very high as well simply because they are for the first time. But my personal favourites (will not win I'm sure) are Azerbaijan's Elnur Hüseynov, Armenia's Genealogy, Israel's golden boy Nadav Guedj and particularly Montenegro's Knez whose song "Adio" is just wonderful. These stand out as melodic, exotic and simply beautiful. Other favourites of mine are Cyprus (Karayiannis), Latvia's Aminata, and oh so dear to my heart UK's gorgeous song by Electro Velvet. werldwayd (talk) 18:14, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

- I personally think Italy will win. It is a huge song. 1. Italy 2. Sweden 3. Belgium 4. Russia 5. Australia 6. Spain Australia's Guy Sebastian will also score very high as well simply because they are for the first time. But my personal favourites (will not win I'm sure) are Azerbaijan's Elnur Hüseynov, Armenia's Genealogy, Israel's golden boy Nadav Guedj and particularly Montenegro's Knez whose song "Adio" is just wonderful.

Speedy deletion nomination of Christian Brøns
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Christian Brøns requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Disambiguation link notification for May 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of number-one albums from the 2010s (Denmark), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Johnny Hansen. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 22:19, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Meltdown (Stromae song)
The article Meltdown (Stromae song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Not notable per WP:NSONG: minimal coverage in third-party, reliable sources.
While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Adabow (talk) 09:29, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Brannan
Hi, I've reverted your reversion. As per this discussion, most people who cast a vote regarding this subject stated the categories should be kept, since information about his homosexuality is available in reliable sources, which is all that Wikipedia's BLP policies demands for it to be included in an entry. 177.42.182.246 (talk) 16:23, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
- I disagree. The discussion was closed by "remov[ing] the cat per BLP and OTRS ticket #2008020210003368" meaning the categories about sexuality were to be removed. The discussion still stands, but you are reinstating something which with concensus was removed after a very very lengthy discussion. I also see you have introduced further gay references, and these were reversed by another colleague again requesting further discussion in talk. werldwayd (talk) 20:21, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
