Unique Performance Teacher Learning Academy[edit]
Please could you email me a copy of this page that was, in my opinion, unfairly deleted. My email is steve at revisiongru.co.uk. Many thanks --SteveMargetts (talk) 14:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Adoption request[edit]
What would one have to do in order to trick you into an adoption? :) --Tylerdmace (talk) 06:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Unique Performance Volleyball AdD Request for Copy[edit]
Could you please send em a copy of the Unique Performance Volleyball article that was deleted speedily? I have reviewed the reasons for deletion, and still believe the listing has merit for being on wiki. The club competes "at the highest level of competition" in accordance with wiki standards for amateur sports. The club's teams currently compete at the USA Volleyball Girl's Junior National level, including the Junior Olympic championships and qualifiers, which is the highest level of junior amateur indoor volleyball.
Also, they have merit for players playing collegiate volleyball, who are or were members of the club.
Thanks. --Coachsutton (talk) 21:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Greeves. I've removed you from the list of active users providing assistances at WP:USURP and WP:RENAME because you haven't recently made any clerk edits. If this is a mistake, please re-add yourself to the list. Thanks, Mønobi 22:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- I clerked seven days ago actually. I think that that's pretty recent. Greeves (talk • contribs) 23:15, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- My bad, I didn't see it when I filtered it by namespace. I'll re-add you. Mønobi 23:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Phillip McCallen[edit]
Hi - just a thought, but next time you use another editors personal stub to create a new article, such as you did for Philip McCallen, you might: (a) advise the editor; (b) check the stub article first; (c) check the spelling of the persons name. Apart from that, a reasonable effort...! Rgds, - Trident13 (talk) 09:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I am not sure I know what you are talking about. Looking at Philip McCallen, I do not remember seeing or editing the article before.
- If this is about User:Trident13/personalprojectstubs, please know that others will edit these articles (however I haven't yet) and that there is no requirement to inform you. Not many people would even find that page in your userspace before they make any edits to "your personal stub". If you would like to keep an eye on the progress of an article you created, you may wish to add it to your watchlist.
- In the future, please remember that you do not have any "personal stubs". Greeves (talk • contribs) 15:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
New Semester, New Appeal[edit]
This semester I am teaching academic writing to a group of teachers at my school. This course starts on Monday Jan 28. I would like to know if you are still interesting in "mentoring". You can see the syllabus at Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/SyllabusIf so, please leave a message on my talk page and update the mentor's page Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Mentors, if . If not, please remove your name and information from that page. Thanks! Thelmadatter (talk) 20:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:MMOGCMcur[edit]
A tag has been placed on Template:MMOGCMcur requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>
).
Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 16:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Caballed again[edit]
Last night I wrote this page and expressed joy that I could mention Carlo Suarez somewhere and not be instantly deleted. You replied when I entered a comment on a "cabal" topic. Tonight my comment has disappeared. Here is what came to my email: The Meta page User talk:Johnshoemaker has been created on 02:53, 12 February 2008 by Greeves, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Johnshoemaker for the current version.
Perhaps you can direct me to those aware of the cabal as I'd like to share my opinion of why this group works to hide understanding of Torah. johnshoemaker30@yahoo.com Johnshoemaker (talk) 06:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- I imagine that you got that email as you have set your preferences on Meta so that you are informed whenever anyone edits your talk page. I edited your talk page to welcome you to Meta and so you got an email. I have no idea what this whole cabal business you are talking about is about though. Greeves (talk • contribs) 23:10, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- There is a "cabal" section on a Wike(media, meta): Religion page. You welcomed me. I'll go look for the address with the "cabal" section. I assummed you would be familiar. The section suggested there was a cabal within Wiki that worked to keep some things secret. At least you are replying and denying knowledge of a cabal. Ball's in my court now to go find the "cabal" section of a Wikisomething page that trips your "welcome" button. Thanks for your patience, eh.Johnshoemaker (talk) 01:40, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- The “cabal” section is mentioned here:
- When I added to “talk” on above the following was sent to me:
- http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Johnshoemaker&redirect=no
- Perhaps the dark-ages use of the term hasn’t interested you but it is interesting that some within meta.wikemedia have noted the attempt by some to obscure discussion of Kabblah that is not “above the intellect,” that is, mystical. Since you have been chosen to welcome me to wiki.media perhaps you can refer me to someone interested in the perceived cabal.
- Do you have any interest in the Hieroglyphs in which Torah is embodied or observing the method with which a plain English text is derived from the first verse? Would you be interested in an example of a Hieroglyph(spiritual glyph)?
- There is evidence of the cabal thru the Dark-Ages and two millenia ago. Protecting the stories, garments that have been wrapped about Torah appears to be the motive. Johnshoemaker (talk) 02:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Dear Greeves,
- My experience with Canadians lets me know they aren't commonly repelled by adventure. You are simply looking diligently for someone interested in the cabal mentioned on the WP Religion page. Eh?Johnshoemaker (talk) 03:42, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Dear Greeves,
- No, You simply did your duty to welcome me to meta. You probably haven't viewed the Religion page and seen the "cabal" section. Possibly you haven't viewed the Religion page. I've since learned that it is common for an editor to delete something he/she doesn't want to deal with. No reply needed. Thanks againJohnshoemaker (talk) 12:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Another editor has listed an article that you have been involved in editing, Alison Wheeler , at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alison Wheeler (2nd nomination). Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Eastmain (talk) 00:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
MFD closures[edit]
Regarding Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Cloudsdriftby and Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Fixious, your "no consensus" close is just plain wrong. They're obvious violations of multiple policies -- and, per long-standing policy and practice, get nuked -- as I've documented, and the "keep" votes were plain handwaving "does not!" or misdirections, despite the plain language of the policies. Closings should not be done by mere vote-counting, which is what looks like was done here. --Calton | Talk 03:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- I feel that I closed this according to consensus. In the past, many a person has felt similar to the "keep" commenters. Should you wish to refute this closure, please see Wikipedia:Deletion review. Greeves (talk • contribs) 23:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Template:AFC reviewing[edit]
A tag has been placed on Template:AFC reviewing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Recovering my page[edit]
I would like to recover the article "International Product Safety & Liability Prevention Association" recently deleted by another administrator, and I thank you for any help you can render. ChulaOne (talk) 13:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi!
I would like to recover the text my page about K. W. Johansen, deleted on 29 February 2008. Are you able to send it to me? I think the article (bio) was important enough to be in Wikipedia, but I didn't underlined it enough I think (it was my first page). I would like to try again, but I need to rewrite some stuffs and I didn't keep the source.
Thanks in advance,
djeedai (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 11:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Please provide me with an e-mail address or send me a message using Special:Emailuser/Greeves and I would be happy to send it to you. For the record, the article was deleted by Gb per WP:CSD#G7 which states:
An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. This is distinct from questions of notability, verifiability and reliability of sources. A7 applies only to articles about web content or articles on people and organizations themselves, not articles on their books, albums, software and so on. Other article types are not eligible for deletion by this criterion. If controversial, as with schools, list the article at Articles for deletion instead.
- Should you wish to contact the deleting administrator about his or her speedy deletion, please see User talk:Gb. Should you wish to re-add the article to Wikipedia, I suggest trying to make sure that it does not fall under the afore mentioned criteria for speedy deletion. Greeves (talk • contribs) 15:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Early closures at MfD[edit]
Hey Greeves, I don't have any problem with your closure decisions but I wanted to point out that a few of them are just a hair early by my reckoning. If a nomination occurs on 14 March at 1300 the closure shouldn't take place before 1300 on the 19th. For that reason I've been advancing the old business marker only to discussions a full 5 days out so there is no question. Some of yours appear a few hours early, and I just don't want to see anyone screaming about it to DRV and wasting everybody's time. Thanks. If my math is off feel free to slap me.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 20:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 15 in Winnipeg[edit]
Wikipedia is celebrating its 15th birthday on January 15, 2016. I have thought for a while that it would be neat to meet some local wikipedians. According to the wikipedians in Winnipeg or Wikipedians in Manitoba category you are one of us. I am contacting people in this category to say: Let's celebrate this milestone. If you know other wikipedians, please ask them to join in as well.
I am posting this to your talk page as a transclude so that any updates will show up automatically.
Hope to see you there! Tenbergen (talk) 04:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
One other Winnipeg Wikipedian showed up, in addition to a number of regular skullspace members. It was nice to actually talk to someone else who has worked with Mediawiki and actually "gets" transclusion. Cake was eaten! Tenbergen (talk) 06:37, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- Aw, apparently I haven't logged in to Wikipedia in over 6 years and I totally missed this message and the event! I guessed I missed any 20 year celebration, too. Let me know if you end up doing a 25 year one. :) Clayton Rumley (talk) 22:52, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of Real social dynamics[edit]
Hi, I'm glancing at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Real_social_dynamics and I noticed that the last guy said he added a few sources. Given that most of the debating happened without those sources and 22% (5/22) of the people voted Keep even without them, I'm surprised that you deleted them. Would you let me see the last revision of the article? I may raise a Deletion Review. ImperfectlyInformed | {talk - contribs} 23:32, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games[edit]
Hello, I closed the respective MfD as selective merge, but the idea of leaving the fate of the sup pages somewhat open turned out to be more complex than I initially thought and I'd do it differently next time. If you notice something that I deleted, but better shouldn't have, let me know. The discussion is [[[1]]--Tikiwont (talk) 16:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi I noticed you closed this AFD as delete. I feel that the two sources I pointed to in the debate establish notability per WP:BIO by covering the subject significantly, thus addressing the concerns of those who argued for deletion. Given that my comment was made after the other editors had commented (and they probably never saw the sources I added) I feel a relist to allow other editors to consider the sources I linked to would be appropriate. I hope you will think about reversing your closure and instead relist the AFD.
Thanks for considering this. Davewild (talk) 16:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have taken this to Deletion Review here - Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 June 22 - as I feel this AFD should be relisted as I stated above. Davewild (talk) 20:53, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Please deal with the accusations[edit]
I’ve chosen you at random. Serious accusations have been made against 2 Wikipedians on Liberapedia. I’ve left links on the Talk Pages of the 2 so they can answer accusations. They are at User talk:Biophys#Osteopolymus has accused you of serious things. and User talk:Ultramarine#Please deal with the accusations. I don’t want to harass those 2 but I feel they have a right to know what is said about them. I also don’t want Liberapedia used for biased pro Communist propaganda. I don’t know what’s true and what’s false here. Proxima Centauri 2 (talk) 20:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
