Page Move

You probably already realized this, but I just wanted to make sure. Instead of copying the the complete text as you did at My Iron Lung (EP), you should have moved the page to the new title. This can be done by clicking the 'move' tab at the top of the article. User:Vegaswikian corrected the issue. Jujutacular ^talk_contribs 00:06, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "Lord knows i'm weak"

A page you created, Lord knows i'm weak, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it redirects from an implausible misspelling.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Falcon8765 (talk) 00:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reggae Greats : Lee Perry

What do you think, that I made up the album and the track listing? That would be very strange behaviour, wouldn't it? What happened to AGF? I happen to own the CD in question. Wiki works by collaboration and I am hoping someone other editor will improve the page, which, as it stands, I admit is far from perfect. SmokeyTheCat •TALK• 13:58, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been improved, referenced and made less opinionated. And also nominated for deletion. Feel free to contribute to that debate. SmokeyTheCat •TALK• 18:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incubus genres

Those aren't reliable sources. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 04:00, 28 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Notability of songs

Please see Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Albums.2C_singles_and_songs. Please don't write articles about every song on an album. They will get redirected to the album article. Woogee (talk) 23:17, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wkicommons

A tag has been placed on Wkicommons, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Oasis

When you took it upon yourself to move Oasis to Oasis (geography), you violated Wikipedia policy by cutting and pasting the text of Oasis (disambiguation) into the new Oasis page. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. (You also ignored Wikipedia's naming conventions by capitalizing "Geography", which I have now fixed by moving the page.)

You also overlooked this guideline, which states that when changing what page an existing title links to, "it is strongly recommended that you modify all pages that link to the old title so they will link to the new title." Your move left behind nearly 500 links to "Oasis" that now need to be individually reviewed and fixed to point to the correct article.

Finally, I must note that this proposed move had previously been discussed on the talk page (now at Talk:Oasis (geography) without any consensus being reached. While being bold is encouraged, you might be a bit more cautious in undertaking a move that other users have previously objected to. It might have been more prudent to start a discussion at WP:RM in this case before undertaking to move established pages. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well as long as there was a reason

I'm okay with it, it just seemed jarring to begin with. Tony2Times (talk) 22:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Template: Oasis

I'm not going to get in an edit war with you, but I'd like to point out that the common and established position on Wikipedia is to bunch all related articles together in one section, rather than splitting them up into abitrary, unnecessary, cluttering sections of their own. Additionally, you assert your position to me like you are somehow above me, and I don't appreciate this given all the negative comments on your talk page and failure to spell 'personnel'. No, I may not be an awesome WP member, but I don't go around shouting at editors all day. I won't revert the template, but we'll see how it progresses in the future and I believe my edits may be reinstated, in one form or another.

Thank you, and good day. Andre666 (talk) 18:43, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Iminrainbows! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 7 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Terry Kirkbride - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 07:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Jesse Quin & The Mets

The article Jesse Quin & The Mets has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article does not specify how this band is in any sense remarkable. If it is somehow remarkable and should be included in an encyclopedia (e.g. Wikipedia), then it should be greatly improved.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Xionbox^₪ 13:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Mauro Refosco

The article Mauro Refosco has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 14:21, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Up Jumped the Devil: American 'Devil' Songs 1920s–1950s

Hello, Iminrainbows, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that some editors are discussing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Up Jumped the Devil: American 'Devil' Songs 1920s–1950s whether the article Up Jumped the Devil: American 'Devil' Songs 1920s–1950s should be in Wikipedia. I encourage you to comment there if you think the article should be kept in the encyclopedia.

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Up Jumped the Devil: American 'Devil' Songs 1920s–1950s, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Thanks again for your contributions! SL93 (talk) 02:59, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums

Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 02:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow Ostrich

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

The article Yellow Ostrich has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 04:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Do you see yourself in a crowded room. Since you had some involvement with the Do you see yourself in a crowded room redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so.
