Re: [Foundation-l] Promotional material about the user's activities outside Wikipedia, nothing useful to Wikipedia
Hello, sorry to bring this up, again, but this guy, mr whitewriter has been wikihounding me, he just does not give up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Skier_Dude#Hi_dude.21_:.29 It really hurts me to be treated this way and I wonder if this behavior of whitewriter will be tolerated and supported?

[Foundation-l] Promotional material about the user's activities outside Wikipedia, nothing useful to Wikipedia
Hi there, look guys someone deleted my pages promoting our work in Kosovo and Albania from my user page saying they are of no use to the wikipedia can someone please comment on that? Gerard was at the event in Albania that was supposedly not helping the wikipedia to talk about wikipedia there. Milos was at the event in 2009 to talk about wikipedia as well. I think many of you might have heard about the work I have been doing to promote wikipedia, and now all my user pages on those topics have been deleted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Mdupont/AgimRamadani - User:Mdupont/OpenLetterToFreeSoftwareCommunitieshttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mdupont/OpenLetterToFreeSoftwareCommunitiesaction=editredlink=1 - WP:WEBHOST http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WEBHOST - Promotional material about the user's activities outside Wikipedia, nothing useful to Wikipedia thank, mike -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova and Albania flossk.org flossal.org ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Hoi, Mike is a well know activist who promotes Open Source and Wikipedia in Albania and Kosovo. People do know him and will find the information he provides.

Mike, you should ask for help before conclusion of deletion. Discussion about deletion was small and was a typical example of systemic trolling because of lack of interest. (BTW, related to that, may folk from en.wp raise requirements for so called consensus related to page deletion? Something like at least five users with at least 500 edits would save many useful material from systemic trolling.) If no one notified you about deletion process, you should complain on wiki. Also, as John said, it is useful to keep organizational pages on Meta, not on English Wikipedia. If you need content to be recovered and moved to Meta, please let us know about your plan. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

If no one notified you about deletion process, you should complain on wiki. Mike was given an automated notification about one page, which he probably didnt care about, but the deletion covered lots of other pages as well. I have not gotten emails at all from wikipedia in a while, but the mails from commons work. Hmm, it seems that I overlooked the page on my talk, it was there. Silly me. Anyway, thanks alot for the restore. mike -- John ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova and Albania flossk.org flossal.org ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Fred Well, we had been sharing that open letter link all over the internet, and the team there had been helping with it, I think that i posted it on the portals as well.
