Wikiversity:Deletion policy

The discussion will have been open for three weeks tomorrow, and there are four !votes in support and none in opposition to adopting the proposed deletion policy. I therefore believe it would be good if an uninvolved custodian closed this discussion. --Claritas 19:09, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, I had a look last week but wasn't sure if 5 votes (one opposing) is really sufficient. Maybe it should go on sitenotice for a couple weeks? It might also help if the poll could be restarted using a particular version, since it seems to have gone through some changes since the latest voting began. --SB_Johnny ^talk 14:53, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Please unblock page or site

I am editing the page Toxins_as_PD_cause as part of a new project. Apparently the viartis.net site is blocked. This site often has some very useful information about Parkinson's disease research so do not understand why it is blocked. Anyway, the page we want to link to is: viartis.net/parkinsons.disease/Toxic.causes.of.Parkinsons.Disease.pdf and I hope you can at least unblock this. Thanks Droflet (talk) 13:13, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Dear Droflet, that site has been blacklisted globally, so you may like to ask your question on meta:Talk:Spam blacklist. Good luck. Mathonius (talk) 21:42, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure we can locally whitelist to override the global blacklist, but I'm not sure which page it is. --SB_Johnny ^talk 00:23, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Motivation and emotion/Book/Shopaholic deletion request

Please delete my http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Motivation_and_emotion/Book/Shopaholic Jtneill is the professor who made the assignment, the person opposing Miz.mira (me) the author's request for a good-faith deletion of the submission, and finally the custodian who blocked me the author from trying to delete my submission of said compulsory assignment. Please see Chapter for more comments. Miz.mira (talk) 21:24, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Given that you're apparently pursuing legal action, I suspect that the custodians (who are unpaid volunteers) might be hesitant to get involved at this point. Personally I can see the validity of both sides here, but I'm not anxious to take any action that would result in me being somehow involved in a legal proceeding on the other side of the globe. I suggest you bring this up with the WMF directly, rather than the OTRS (which is also staffed by unpaid volunteers). --SB_Johnny ^talk 00:22, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
