CRT on the Supreme Court
Hi Malik, Your improvements to the critical race theory page caught my attention. To my interest, my research has turned up that Sonia Sotomayor was strongly influenced by CRT some years ago and is the only one on the Supreme Court with this in her history. During the last week, I have been adding material from 3 new books on the Roberts court to her page and am almost done. Because of her unique background, I thought to ask you if the article is anywhere close to an upgrade by peer evaluation. She would be the first woman on the Supreme Court to reach the highest level of peer evaluation at Misplaced Pages. Possibly you could give the article a once over when/if time allows to let me know if this unique judge deserves this attention. I ask this only if this field is of interest to you and if time allows. LawrencePrincipe (talk) 00:29, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Lawrence. I'll try to take a look at Sonia Sotomayor in the next week or so, but my schedule is tight and I may not be able. You might want to request a review at WP:Peer review. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:46, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. LawrencePrincipe (talk) 12:25, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
School assignment
You're a busy person, I know. Here's a little challenge for you. Greenville-Weston High School is the 3rd largest HS in Mississippi, located in the impoverished MS Delta region. Take half a day when you can and start writing that piece on that should-be-in-Misplaced Pages institution as well as you can from the sources available. You will find it an enlightening process, I guarantee you. Carrite (talk) 17:02, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- And here's a YouTube video to help you decide to take on this arcane challenge: "Mississippi Delta Poverty". Carrite (talk) 17:11, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- I'm literally in the middle of moving, but as soon as I get settled I'll write the article. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 17:32, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

WP:DENY
Would you please remove a few edits from the history of some articles for me? I'd like to WP:DENY this user the privilege of having his grossly offensive username memorialized in them. See: UAA report, and his indef. Thanks in advance, Poeticbent talk 14:25, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Poeticbent. I removed the editor's name from the edit history. If you think the edits should be removed as well, please let me know and I will delete them. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 14:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
Good job, thanks Malik. Sincerely, Poeticbent talk 15:25, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
Boycotts of Israel
Hi there! You've reverted by edit here. You kindly suggest in your edit summary that I should "fix own mess". While I'm of course happy to do that, could you be as kind to explain, what this "mess" is that needs fixing? Apparently you feel the quotation is a copyright violation. In my edit comment I said I considered it a brief quotation. Since you've again reverted it I presume that you disagree that it would be a brief quotation. How brief a quotation, in your view, would be a brief quotation in the sense of WP:F when dealing with a newspaper article? The text we're discussing is factual in nature and doesn't characterize the reporter's personal style in such a way as to be a unique rendition of the information, so even after re-considering I'm still clearly inclined to see it as a brief quotation. See here for more. Cheers, --Dailycare (talk) 19:01, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- I apologize for not being more responsive in my edit summary. The problem isn't with the brief quotation from the scholars' letter, it's the introduction to it, which is verbatim from Haaretz. Please rewrite the sentence using your own words instead of the Haaretz journalist's. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 19:06, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
Amar Agrawal
Hello. I noticed that you just deleted User:Amaragrawalchattisgarh as U5, a puff piece that has been deleted four times in article space as G11, so I thought I'd tell you that he's about to try again in article space, judging by Draft:Amar Agrawal. It's shorter than his previous attempts, but it is still unencyclopaedic and promotional, and he's still non-notable. So maybe you'd like to take a look at that one too?

- Deleted. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 19:53, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
Marlisa Punzalan (Singer)
Well the thing also is that Marlisa Punzalan redirects to X-Factor which is the same person so I figured I put up the similar one also. Wgolf (talk) 20:35, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- I see. On reconsideration, I deleted the article you nominated. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 20:40, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
green media
just wondering why the page was deleted since it had a clear point, no anger just wondering — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beogradmaza (talk • contribs) 23:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- I deleted Green Media because I didn't think the article explained what made the company important or significant. Now that I re-read it, though, I see that it described Green Media as the first ad agency of its kind in the Balkans—that's a statement of the company's importance or significance.
- I'd like to restore the article if you can produce an independent reliable source about the company—that is, a source about the company published by somebody other than Green Media that satisfies WP:Identifying reliable sources. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:33, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
Rathaavara
The article Rathaavara was deleted by you for the reason Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion but it was deleted before for the reason:
there is no evidence that the film has entered filming, the project was just announced and casting has not even been confirmed, it is too soon for an article per WP:NFF BOVINEBOY2008 12:46, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
Delete without prejudice to the article's recreation should it become notable at some future point. Way too soon per nom. The film was only announced on social media last week. Now the film shoot has already begun and cast has been confirmed with the release date of January 2015 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.201.86 (talk) 12:43, 7 October 2014 (UTC) 59.92.201.86 (talk) 15:24, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- When reliable sources—as opposed to social media—write about the film's production, the time may be right to write a new article. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:08, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of 'Uprise Art'
Hi there!
Just wanted to get in touch and see if I could get the content of the now defunct "Uprise Art" Wiki page! I've read over the guidelines and plan to further establish the notability of the company before re-publishing.
Thanks!
Arianadickey (talk) 20:43, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. I've emailed the content to you. Please let me know if you have any questions. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 02:16, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
If I draft a new version of this with additional sources, may I send it to you for editing/critiques so that the page needn't be reposted and redeleted multiple times before it is Misplaced Pages appropriate?
