This entry has become a ground for skeptics trying to defame a well-known psychic detective named Noreen Renier (entry title). Consequently, I entered a supportive entry. Khazar in his editing summary stated "it's going to have to have the opinions of both sides fairly presented--skeptics and believers alike". However, he then deleted my entire article, removing the only "believers" contribution in the article. I attempted to revert it, but not knowing exactly how to do it, I ended up with only my contribution in the article. So I undid that and decided I needed to contact someone who knows what they are doing with entries. Please let me know if you have the time to help me out.

Talkback and you've got mail notices
Please place your talkback and you've got mail notices below this line in this section (no subsection necessary). I plan to delete them when I have read them. Thank you.
Other correspondence
Your RfA
First and foremost which should be said to just about every editor, thank you for your work. At this time, your RfA was unsuccessful and has been closed. I'm sure several editors will be point below with recommendations on how to improve for your next RfA, but I would recommend to you that you gain a better understanding of administrative policy and it's a good idea to watch RfA and review previous RfAs before running. I would like to highlight HJ Mitchell's comments as they are what will best set you on your way to your next running, as most of the comments seem to come from there. Overall though, I wish you the best of luck on your wikijourney and feel free to talk to me if you ever would like an opinion on running for RfA (or one of the many others who are willing to). -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 03:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry to have torpedoed your RfA like that. I know failing an RfA isn't very pleasant, I've been there myself. Keep your chin up and be proud and be proud of the good work you've done here. That there's room for improvement is nothing to be ashamed of. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 04:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, but your comments above are inconsistent with your comments below (as copied from my RfA). Please clarify. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:09, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I would have liked to have more time to reply and explain using a fully-capable client. Much of what I would have liked to add is below, and I would welcome your input on it. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:11, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
I have posted tallback notices on both of your user talk pages. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 16:11, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Can anyone please help me to understand how my answer to question 7 could be construed as inconsistent with WP:SOCK, and how to construct a better answer? Thanks. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:53, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
- Let me start by saying I'm sorry I didn't get into the RFA in time to !vote - I would have at least provided moral support as I think you are a strong wikipedian. I won't go so far as to construct a better answer for you, but may I suggest that you consider WP:SOCK from the perspective of a non-blocked user (or series of accounts). I can't speak for those who said you answered it incorrectly, but I *suspect* that they may have had concerns with your answer only focusing on what happens when a blocked user is involved. The more troublesome sock puppetry issues that we have to deal with are with users who have never been blocked but use multiple accounts or IPs to try to lend a stonger voice to their POV. 7 04:55, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Novice needs biography editing assistance
Hello Harry--Last month I made my first stab at a Wikipedia biography entry, and it was a chore. Then a couple of weeks later an editor named Khazar, now no longer on Wiki, completely deleted my entry. This entry has become a ground for skeptics trying to defame a well-known psychic detective named Noreen Renier (entry title). Consequently, I entered a supportive entry. Khazar in his editing summary stated "it's going to have to have the opinions of both sides fairly presented--skeptics and believers alike". However, he then deleted my entire article, removing the only "believers" contribution in the article. I attempted to revert it, but not knowing exactly how to do it, I ended up with only my contribution in the article. So I undid that and decided I needed to contact someone who knows what they are doing with entries. Please let me know if you have the time to help me out. Much appreciated, WashTeh — Preceding unsigned comment added by WashTeh (talk • contribs) 01:34, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
