April 2007

Hi SnowyBadger (like the new name), I think you should probably take a look at WP:Categorization before adding a bunch more categories. Most of the categories you added to Downs' Zoological Gardens don't belong there. Only add the specific categories, not everything you can find related to zoos. Some of the categories you added are only container categories, others are parent categories for the subcategory already included, and articles only go in the list categories if the article itself is a list. Adding categories can be complicated at times, I was here for years before I ventured into adding them, always found them too confusing, and still avoid adding them if I'm not sure they belong. I'll see if I can find some additional categories that can be added. Cmr08 (talk) 15:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was able to add one additional category to the article. By the way, I added your article to the Zoos in Nova Scotia template, and put it in the article. When you're trying to find categories to add to an article, you can always go to similar articles and see what categories they are in. That should give you some idea about what to include and what not to include. Cmr08 (talk) 16:18, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help and edits. I am going to have to review my categories more closely. I am currently working on "Andrew Downs" He sounds like an interesting cat and has been recognized around the world for his work. JBignell (talk) 18:23, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Any idea why my old name still comes up? JBignell (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly sure why the old name comes up, but it's possible your old name is listed as your signature. Click "preferences" at the top of page, and under "User profile" go down to the third section titled "Signature" and see what's listed as your existing signature. If it says JBignell, then try putting SnowyBadger in the box and see what happens after you save. Now, what I'm telling you to do is basically just a guess, I may be 100% wrong. Cmr08 (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually what I just explained looks to be correct. I just changed my signature to test this, and the name I put in the empty box was coming up as my name. Cmr08 (talk) 19:21, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Gregory E. Lenehan

The article Gregory E. Lenehan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:ANYBIO. Most of the coverage is to do with the taxi driver case, not the lawyer himself.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. DrStrauss talk 22:14, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I keep reading that this is about the Taxi driver and not the Lawyer, but ever national article names him. Plus talks about his role in sexual crimes. Snowy Badger (talk) 10:19, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited William James Roué, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Babette (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Nomination of Acquittal of Bassam Al Rawi for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Acquittal of Bassam Al Rawi is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Acquittal of Bassam Al Rawi (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Huon (talk) 00:49, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I am here to urge you to return to Acquittal of Bassam Al Rawi and improve the page with material drawn from WP:RS. You should also be aware that a page creator is free to participate in the deletion discussion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:25, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AVIMOS

Reads- Information about the number of passengers, fatalities, injuries and survivors. Information on the nationalities involved should be included. Optionally, notable passengers may be recorded but should be limited to individuals with a Wikipedia article.

First of all Nino L. Sanna doesn't have a WP article. Your IC for Sanna may not pass WP:RS.

As for the tennis player, he wasn't on board. So he wasn't a passenger or a fatality....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:10, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The heading reads "Victims" of the indent, not a "passenger list of people who got on the plane and are notable". The fact that there is an article of the tennis player who would have potential experience Survivor guilt which is a mental condition that occurs when a person believes they have done something wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others did not. He would be a victim of this condition. His mental health post SwissAir would make him a victim, after SwissAir he only played in 3 tournament and retired shortly after. Plus he has a Wiki Page. I think you should be open to this and let others comment on this entry. Snowy Badger (talk) 18:00, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks,

Nictaux Community Centre Cemetery moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Nictaux Community Centre Cemetery, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. b uidhe 19:26, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you removed some contributions I made to 'notable residents'

Hello Snowy Badger,

My name is Leah and I am a graduate student at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information, studying Archives and Records Management. On Oct 1, 6 and 8 of this year, it appears that you removed several entries I made in Middleton's 'notable residents' section. Just wondering what your reasoning was for that edit.

Thanks, Leah Hunter (talk) 21:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Leah Hunter, I am not one to remove edits from Wikipedia? When I look at your additions I don't see a problem with them. You can just remove the changes and place the people on the list. Good luck with your studies, I am not the editor you are looking for.

List articles

Every entry in a list article must either have a Wikipedia article or a third-party citation. It is up to the restoring editor to add such a citation. See WP:BURDEN and WP:NOTDIR. Skyerise (talk) 20:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The international and national organizations are clearly notable. When it comes to clubs, they are probably mostly not notable. If they are not removed when they are unsourced, then everyone comes along and adds their own club thinking it's a directory. It's not, it's an index to Wikipedia articles per WP:LIST.

Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 07:06, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the importance of maintaining the integrity and neutrality of Wikipedia. However, I believe that the content I added regarding the community group provides valuable and neutral information about its activities and contributions. Here are a few points I’d like to address:

Notability and Verifiability: The group has a significant impact on the local community, and the information provided is well-sourced from reliable references. Can we discuss the specific sources or sections you found problematic?

Neutrality: I aimed to present the information in an objective manner, focusing on the factual aspects of the group's activities and achievements. If there are specific phrases or sections that appear promotional, I am willing to revise them to ensure neutrality.

Community Value: Community groups play a crucial role in various social aspects, and detailing their work helps provide a comprehensive understanding of their impact. Highlighting their activities is in line with Wikipedia's goal of being an informative and comprehensive resource.

Precedent: There are similar pages about community groups and organizations on Wikipedia that outline their activities and contributions. Could we look at those examples together to ensure consistency?

I would appreciate your guidance on how we can improve the article to meet Wikipedia’s standards without losing the valuable information about the community group. Let’s work collaboratively to ensure the content is both informative and compliant with Wikipedia’s guidelines. It's easy to delete and hard to create, but together we can make it better. Snowy Badger (talk) 03:35, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My only concern here is with neutrality. Examples of promotional language: "nestled within the picturesque landscape", "contribute valuable insights", "deeply committed to community engagement", "stands as a beacon", "dedication to public awareness". . .

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Mean as custard (talk) 20:51, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop, this is option not examples of promotional language. If you don't like it edit them material in question. I think you option of promotional material is subjective and false. Please take the time to review
