Billingsley High School

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Billingsley High School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Billingsley High School. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Liberty

You are mistaken, I did not "spam". The site added is valuable and should definitely be included (a major European ressource for liberalism and individual liberty). Please revert the links. Thank you! Centinel2 17:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

ok, thanks! Centinel2 17:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

WP:WHMT

Hello. You may or may not remember this, but some time ago you signed up for a Hangman Tournament hosted here on Wikipedia. The next tournament is about to start, and I was just wondering if you were still interested in participating. If you are, please go to the page (linked above) and bold your name in the sign-up list. This will confirm your registration. If you are not interested any more, please feel free to remove your name from the list. If you haven't responded within 7 days, I will assume you are not interested, and remove you from the list.

If you think anyone else may be interested in this tournament, please drop them a note and ask them to sign up. Good luck, and I hope to see you at the tournament! If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka Talk to me! 13:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:WHMT

Hello, Oo7565/Archive 1. You may or may not remember signing up for the Wikipedia Hangman Tournament, but the time has finally arrived for you to start your game! You have until 12:21, 22 November 2024 (UTC) to begin your game by typing {{Wikipedia:WikiHangman Tournament/New|~~~~}} on the corresponding round page. You should also visit your match page, as you will be able to see various aspects of your match.

I would also suggest:

• Familiarizing yourself with the rules of the tournament. The rules include how to win, how to play, and how to navigate amongst the various pages of the tournament.
• Visiting the Tournament 2 page, which has the rules and pairing for the tournament. Use the tournament tree to see tournament updates, as well as
• Placing Wikipedia:WikiHangman Tournament/Tournament 2/Match 7/Round 1/A, Wikipedia:WikiHangman Tournament/Tournament 2/Match 7/Round 1/B, and Wikipedia:WikiHangman Tournament/Tournament 2/Match 7 on your Special:Watchlist, as each of these will be updated with or without notice. As the match progresses, add subsequent pages to your watchlist.

If you have any questions at all regarding the procedures and rules of this tournament, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Thanks again, and good luck!

In case you are wondering why it took so long to begin this tournament, my computer was not operating correctly, and my Internet usage was limited to public computers. My opportunities to use public computers were limited, so needless to say, I didn't have a lot of time to commit to Wikipedia. So, sorry if this has caused you any inconvience. Good luck! If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 02:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Spelling and grammar

Please do be careful when correcting spelling and grammar in articles. Some of your corrections (such as to Baka (Cameroon and Gabon)) are simply changes from British style to American style, which is against Wikipedia policy. The Manual of Style states that:

In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee ruled that, when either of two styles is acceptable, it is inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change. For example, with respect to British spelling as opposed to American spelling, it would only be acceptable to change from American spelling to British spelling if the article concerned a British topic. Revert warring over optional styles is unacceptable; if the article uses colour rather than color, it would be wrong to switch simply to change styles, although editors should ensure that articles are internally consistent. If in doubt, defer to the style used by the first major contributor. See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Jguk

Also, in one of the articles you changed, Badi III, you corrected the spelling and grammar of a direct quotation from a period source. These should, of course, be left alone to reflect as well as possible the style used in the original. Thanks, — BrianSmithson 22:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Copyrights

Hi, I'm glad you've continued to contribute to Wikipedia since I tagged the article for copyvio. Could you clarify your question for me? Are you asking if it's OK to take text from elsewhere, change some words around and post it to Wikipedia? Or are you asking if the simple act of citing a source ever violates copyright?

If you're asking the former question, my simple answer would be that all Wikipedia contributions should be your own writing, not just "in your own words". If you just change some words and sentences around, there will always be traces of the original work, making it a "derivative work", which is prohibited by copyright laws.

If you're asking whether you can violate copyright laws and our policy just by citing a source, the answer is, absolutely not. Citing sources is the core of following our verifiability policy, one of the core principles of Wikipedia.

I hope this has answered your question. :-) szyslak (t, c, e) 07:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Spelling (again)

As already mentioned, please don't change spellings to Americanised ones unless (a) the article has always used Americanised spellings, or (b) the article deals with a region where Americanised spellings are the norm. Thanks. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:25, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem. It's not always easy to tell which system was intended. Thanks! Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

KIA Expansion

hi, can u help to expand kuching international airport page. thanks mike86 12:19, 22 December 2006

THis is silly. WIkipedia is a project. It is not a site to list all of the villages in spain. Hopefully these "lists" can be expanded into fuller articles. Deletion proposal is a ridiculous idea -delete this and you will have to delete tens of thousands of stubs which people have started many of which have developed into nice articles on world villages on the entire wikipedia. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:16, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

The aim is to start the articles and expand them into full articles. Each village probaly has its own website in spanish which I can use my spanish knowledge to translate into full articles. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

spanish wikipedia has all of these articles linked . Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Give them time and I promise you each will have more info. Anyway the geo data is substantial enough for encylcopedic anyway. Its not as if it just says blah blah is a villages in SpainErnst Stavro Blofeld 22:19, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Trust me mate I started some vilages only a few months back and many now are not only short articles but actually have details on all the different aspects of the History, Local Economy, tranport commuinications, local customs, everything. I see you have left a clean up tag. Wrong tag it doesn't need cleaning up you just need to add a {{expand ]] tag requesting the page for expansion. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:25, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

See the page now this will encourage people to expand it. I certainly don't criticise your concerns to make stubs better. If you are concerned about stubs feel free to add the expand tag. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry mate. Every village in Spain should have a site like

http://www.pueblos-espana.org/castilla+y+leon/salamanca/aldeatejada/

There is a wealth of info for me to translate when i have time Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:31, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added a few minor details. I haven't got time now to write a full article but it will be done soon enough Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I have added population growth recent years Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

There we go added economy details I translated to Aldeatejada. See what can be done in 15 minutes. Eventually this will expanded 2 fold and hopefully free images added into a detailed article. I hoope to do the same for villages elesewhere. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:58, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Howz that for starters. I'm glad you reminded me though they need expansion Ernst Stavro Blofeld 23:13, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks mate but I beleive that soon enough each of the articles could be twice as long as the Aldeajada one. I would hope someone who knows the history of the area could write a lengthy paragraph. Eventually I will get around the concentrating on removing stubs from wikipedia but so much new work is missing!!! See Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article I am compiling an entire list of missing notable films from wikipedia there are tens of thousands!! by year 1888 -2009 and country Albania - Yugoslavia. ALso I have started every village in Slovakia and many have now been written into articles like this one by several Slovak wikipedians. HAPPY CHRISTMAS!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:14, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I have just noticed that your tagging for deletion has resulted in the rapid improvement of a number of articles!! It is a very good tactic for people to improve their articles but a little crude!! Please note though that any settlement on the planet should have enough information for an article however small. Each place has an uncovered history and story of its own that is just waiting to be provided on wikipedia. So in the future you can use the expand tag rather than delete if you see any poorly developed villages. All the best Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:22, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've added more info to the Bhagabhadra article. Regards. PHG 17:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing the Douglas Head Lighthouse, Isle of Man. I have imrpoved it took only about 10-15 minutes. You must think I only create stubs!! Beleive me I am very capable see Tashilhunpo, Shalu Monastery and William Garwood. I am also in the middle of writing Seven Years in Tibet into a featured article. 95% of it is mine. One thing you must remeber though. I never create a stub if it cannot be expanded into a full article. Just remember that. You said about deletion. You need to understand the potential of stubs. Hope you ar ehaving a great Christmas Ernst Stavro Blofeld 12:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC).

I do actually prefer writing article rater than creating stubs but so many articles are missing I feel it best to stub them all first and then research each one afterwards. Luckily I have a knowledge of about 9 languages although I only know a few fluently which helps a lot. I am currently compiling the Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article. There a thousands and thousands of missing films and tens of thousands of missing notable actors, directors and cinema characters. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 12:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

What do you think of Douglas Head Lighthouse, Isle of Man now? See also List of Hungarian sculptors all the articles were created by me and they are not stubs!!! Hope you had a good Christmas and keep up the search for expanded articlesErnst Stavro Blofeld 11:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Prodding articles

Rather than prodding so many valid articles it would be better to continue with the expand tags that you have been putting on other articles. It looks as if you are using the prod template to draw attention to the article but the expand is better. Cheers. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Prod vs AfD

There is no requirement to {prod} an article prior to taking it to AfD. In fact, if it is likely to be contentious, which I am guessing this one will be, it is better to take it to AfD, since the prod will simply be removed. Jefferson Anderson 18:26, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah, well, my point of view is that this sort of article is highly likely to be recreated after it is deleted. If it is deleted via prod, then it has to be AfDed to be deleted again. If it is deleted via AfD, then if it is recreated, it can be speedily deleted. I prefer to get the opinion of the community recorded when I am sure the article should be deleted. When I'm not completely sure, I tend to tag or use prod. Jefferson Anderson 18:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The removal of AfD notices (NOT prods, but AfD headers) is considered vandalism, and you can certainly revert it and warn (politely) the user who removed the notice.

Proposed deletion of Cesar Rene Arce

Hello! Just wanted to let you know I have removed your Proposed Deletion notice from the Cesar Rene Arce article because I believe the subject barely meets the notability requirements of WP:BIO. Specifically, "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person."

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Live Album (album)

I would highly suggest you read the criteria for AfD Wikipedia:Deletion policy and WP:MUSIC - Grand Funk Railroad is CLEARLY a notable band; this album is part of their official discography (in fact their first live album) which is notable in itself, so you've got to say why this is not a notable album according to the aforementioned. Looking at the above, you might want to spend some time looking over the deletion policies. And, from your grammar, it appears that English may not be your first language, if that's so, let me know what language you're more familiar with, and I'll see if there's parallel information in the languages with which I'm familiar.

Prod of Y Garn (Rhinogydd)

If you want to {{prod}} an article, it's generally polite to discuss the reasons on its talk page rather than on an arbitrary user's talk page. Incidentally, for the reasons given by Stemonitis, I believe the hill is notable. — ras52 07:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, since Stemonitis was the editor who created the article, the message that Oo7565 left there seems okay to me. And Stemonitis did politely reply about removing the PROD template, so the system worked just as it is supposed to. -- Satori Son 14:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

That's not the point. Several people have edited the page, and it's reasonable to assume that others who haven't edited it may have an interest in it too. Hiding the rationale behind the delete {{prod}} on an individual's talk page without also putting at least a cursory mention on the article's talk page just seems wrong. The fact that Stemonitis saw it and removed the {{prod}} is not particularly relevant. — ras52 18:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

That is exactly the point. There is no such thing as an "owner" of an article, as ras52's edit summary states; that's why we have watchlists.

Allow me to make my point perfectly clear: Oo7565, you did nothing wrong whatsoever. The deletion process was followed to the letter. In fact, the majority of editors who make PROD nominations do not even notify the creator of the article (as you did), much less anyone else. No one was "hiding" anything, and to say otherwise is a misstatement of policy and a failure to assume good faith. I am very sorry that someone said that about you.

Finally, the characterization of the article creator as "an arbitrary user" is factually inaccurate and terribly misleading. In fact, it is the implication that "others who haven't edited it" should somehow be notified that is arbitrary – and completely impractical – to say the least. (Sorry so late to post this, but I absolutely could not let this go unrefuted on your talk page once I saw it.) -- Satori Son 04:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Oo7565,

First of, not to be rude, but could you perhaps try to word your messages a little better and entitle and sign it? It is very hard to read and understand it like this.

To answer your question, I made said article because it was on the List of Virtual Console titles (Europe), stated for Q1 2007.

Sickles High School (AfD)

You are correct. It has been decided (much to the dismay of people like me) that high schools are notable enough to merit having an article. However, the reason I reverted your change is because that you are NOT supposed to remove AfD tags from articles, unless there has been a significant change made to improve the article. And this has not yet been done. I can tell you one thing that would help... Name the city in which this High School is located. That would go a long way in increasing this article's verifiability, and would help to make sure that somebody isn't just making up this school. -- Big Brother 1984 18:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Note on PRODing

I just noticed that you had PRODed Dynamite kablammo, which is very much appreciated. However, you need not prod articles which fall under the Criteria for Speedy Deletion. In particular, this article would fall under CSD A7 ({{db-band}} or {{csd-a7}}). Any articles flagged in such a fashion would automatically be placed in CAT:CSD for speedy deletion.

Six Fat Dutchmen

You PRODed Six Fat Dutchmen for deletion, and given the little content on the page when you did that, I don't blame you for doing so. Knowing nothing about Polka music at all, I still decided to see what I could find about this very old band (formed in the 1930s) on the web, and came up with a few bits of information that I added to the article, and discuss further on the article's talk page. I don't know if it's enough new content to keep the article around, but I thought I'd make some attempt at expansion. The original author is apparently inactive, so I doubt we'll hear anything back from him or her. If the article is kept, I found an old album cover image that I could upload under fair-use. - Itsfullofstars 07:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the prod from this article. Subject seems notable enough for work with Miles Davis et al. If you are in disagreement with this supposition, please take the article to AfD. Bubba hotep 08:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Deep Dark Chambers

Have you actually read the Shining page? They have already released four full-length albums, with a fifth on its way, toured Europe and so easily meets the notability criteria for bands; and thus also for their debut album. Hence I removed the prod. Spearhead 10:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

ProD in general

Hello. I am here to say something which really has been said by many over time, judging by the comments above. I really must urge you to read the policy on notability before carrying on any further with your ProD duties. Tagging articles such as these: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] and [8] with the resulting AfD discussion (here) – these are all bound to result in controversy. ProD is really for non-controversial deletion nominations, so far nearly all have been contested and the ProD removed. This surely must tell you something about your judgement in certain cases. I will also add that some of your ProDs were quite correct. However, you are making a lot of people agitated and your continuance to do so coupled with your extremely vague (and invariably misspelt) reasoning is only harming the project, not, as you perceive, helping it. Please bear this all in mind, read WP:N and WP:PROD, and also bear in mind that as long as you don't make better judgement calls, the more this talk page will grow with disgruntled Wikipedians. I'm sorry I had to talk to you on this subject, but I felt something had to be said. Bubba hotep 11:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Derrick Rostagno

I have removed the prod notice you placed on the Derrick Rostagno page and explained my reasoning on the article's talk page. Rostagno is a tennis player who was ranked as high as No. 13 in the world and reached a Grand Slam quarter-final. This information is stated in the article and, in my opinion, makes a tennis player significant enough for inclusion in a large encyclopedia like Wikipedia. He also meets the current criteria for inclusion on the page List of male tennis players (where he is indeed listed - and pretty much every player listed there also has their own article). So I believe the player is clearly notable enough for his own a Wikipedia page. Zaxem 23:36, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Benedictional of St. Æthelwold

Hi. I noticed that you marked this article for clean-up. As the primary author of the article, I am very conerned. What is it about this article makes you think that it needs clean-up. I realize that it is about a somewhat obscure subject (although all art historians familiar with the period are fmailiar with this work), and would be dry read to he uninterested. However, for those who are interested in such things, it seems to me to be apretty decent article, although it does not cover the subject in the depth that it deserves. I admit that I may be too close to the trees to see the forest however. Dsmdgold 04:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how best to expand the Coordination games section of Best response without putting a bunch of material from Coordination game into the article and disturbing the flow of logic in Best response.

re: Malick Sidibe

Hi there, I came across the page while on orphan patrol and added the link to his photography only because I was curious about his photography and did a Google search. The article seemed pointlessly short and I thought a link might encourage someone else to dig deeper. I really have no other connection. I will take the opportunity to ask a question though. When you find an article like this and second a prod nom (or even originate one), do you do a G-search or other research to assess notability and what kind of criteria do you use? He gets a fair number of hits and his work is in several galleries. He's no Annie L, but should the same Ghit and review criteria apply to artists/persons/etc. that are from countries/cultures that are likely to be less represented by Western media? Do you feel there is an inevitable Western culture bias to our coverage? I am not saying lower standards should apply, but can lower numbers of Ghits be accepted? How can WP be a planetary collection of knowledge and still maintain standards? Any other thoughts along these lines. Truly, I have no ax to grind or objection to your prod, I am a newcomer and am looking for thoughts and guidance on these issues. I do appreciate your notifying me, if I had started the article or contributed to it, I would want to know. Thnks --killing sparrows 19:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC) Wow, a quick search found he has won a major photography award. What was your criteria for seconding? --killing sparrows 19:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Please read the prod. The reason I prodded wasn't that I was claiming Beefdays didn't exist, it was that I was claiming the article was nonsense. I still say it is. Have you actually read it? I'm happy to take it to AfD. Philip Trueman 13:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

You seem knowledgeable- maybe you can help clarify something for me. I've been going through some deadend pages and finding some articles that seem questionable to me. That's where I found the Digital filth pages. (Thank you for the edit summary suggestion.) I'm not sure when is best to {prod} and when is best to submit for AFD. Earlier, I submitted Doomed Nation Video Magazine for Afd, but as of now no one has responded for or against. This makes me wonder if I should have prodded it instead.

Delete anything podded for deletion

I don't be on Wikipedia that much. These users have ruined the articles with nonsense anyways. I have spent years making up articles and citing references without question. But in the past five months I had dealt with users who insist on placing unofficial information in articles that rotate around controversial rappers 50 Cent and The Game. The ruin articles related to Bill O'Reilly, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Fox News, and so on. So therefore, I am not worried about the Seven Day Theory (7 Day Theory) as the users want it now as. Delete it, you have my blessings. Thanks again. LILVOKA 03:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Patchouli has been banned foreover after the Islamic editors coalesced against the user.

See WP:BAN#Enforcement_by_reverting_edits.

There are people like User:Khoikhoi, User:The Behnam and other who scour Islam-related articles to revert my edits regardless of merits to enrage me.

See http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=ABDALLAH_bin_Abd_al-Aziz_Al_Saud for an example.

True History of the Kelly Gang

User:Vincentl has removed the Prod on this. Not sure how you can claim "non-notable" and "does not state why this is impotent enough to be on here" - Peter Carey is a major writer, and the second sentence in the article states, and has always stated, that the book "won the 2001 Booker Prize and the Commonwealth Writers Prize in the same year". The Booker is probably the most prestigous prize in world fiction.

I know that the article needs some work, and will spend time on it given a chance, but is in no way a candidate for Prod. AndrewMcQ 11:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Christopher Bond

I also removed the PROD tag on the Christopher Bond article.

Charles van der Gucht

Hi there. Van der Gucht was a professional cricketer, contracted at a club for two years (and two fairly recent years at that). I may well be able to expand the article beyond what it currently reads, but I must disagree with your analysis that he does not warrant a Wikipedia article. I haven't time to work on the article at this moment, however, on this basis, and, quoting WP:BIO, "Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming and tennis", I am going to remove the prod tag.

I promise to work more on the article later, I must confess that because it was an article I wrote earlier on, I might not have included as much detail in the article as I should have. Thank you for understanding. Bobo. 12:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Prod/AfD nominations

Hello, there has been some concern popping up regarding your prodding or nominating for deletion a number of articles on the premise that they are not notable per WP:N. I have every reason to believe that these are good-faith edits and likely due to a misunderstanding. To help prevent future misunderstandings, you might want to read up on the notability criteria a little more fully before proposing deletion on articles again in the future. This way users won't mistake your efforts as disruptive. Thanks! Arkyan • ^(talk) 20:29, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I personally do not see any problems with prodding articles if you feel they are not warranted, but some users were under the impression that these were potentially disruptive edits. I just wanted to give you a heads up, in case anyone else approached you about the issue. Good luck with editing! Arkyan • ^(talk) 21:07, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Re your comments on deletions on my talk page and Articles for deletion/Oscar Marion

As a number of people have already said to you - including User:Arkyan, one of Wikipedia's most respected editors - I think you need to familiarise yourself a lot more with Wikipedia policy (particularly WP:N and WP:DP). I don't believe you're doing this to be disruptive and I apologise if I've given that impression, but there are plenty of articles you have prodded/AfD'd yourself (True History of the Kelly Gang, Jaye Griffiths etc) that are so obviously notable by Wikipedia standards that proposing them for deletion looks like vandalism. As per the instructions on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion, AfD should be a last resort not a first option - if you're not happy with a page, add {{cleanup}}, {{disputed}} or {{expert-subject}} as appropriate rather than going straight to deletion. — iridescenti (talk to me!) 22:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Spring Breakdown

I note you have removed the {{prod}} notice from Spring Breakdown with the comment "All films are notable even in the future". This is not the case as Wikipedia is not a crystal ball; future films should only have articles if the production of the film is notable. I have nominated the article for deletion. As I have previously said, while I don't believe you're doing this deliberately I would very strongly request that you familiarise yourself with the notability guidelines and Wikipedia:Deletion policy before involving yourself in deletion discussions/proposed deletions. In this case, you may want to read WP:NF; this is not official policy yet but is nonetheless widely accepted. — iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:25, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately no - WP:SCHOOL was rejected so it isn't policy. There's no consensus about school deletions, so they're still covered by WP:ORG even though it isn't really appropriate. School articles are very rarely deleted; 85% of school deletion discussions result in keep, but there's no way of guessing which way any given discussion will go. There's an open discussion on the subject on Killing Sparrows' userpage but nobody will ever agree — iridescenti (talk to me!) 21:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

thanks i know that it may get deproded but i guess i have to disagree with you i understand what you saying but i did look at the article and only thing he did noteable was score a goal in the league cup final not the winning goal goal none the less. thats not why i proded it besides thats could you point out to me what else you did makes him noteable(sp). also thanks for you help i know you are trying to help me out but trust me i am trying to get better and i hope you do not have to talk to me about these type of things in the near furture because by then i will hopefully becaome a great editor on here.Oo7565 18:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

First of all, the fact that he played in the League Cup final would make him instantly - and uncontestably - notable, as an athlete who has played at the highest level. Secondly, he played for QPR and Tottenham Hotspur, both also at the highest level. Thirdly, virtually all footballers in the top 200 or so clubs in the English football pyramid (and its equivalents in other countries), and all Premiership & League players, automatically pass WP:N as "Competitors who have played in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming and tennis".

Despite the fact that a lot of people over-use it, there are not that many occasions when a {{prod}} (or an AfD) is suitable on "first sight" of an article. If you come across an article such as this where you're not certain of its acceptability, consider tagging it {{cleanup}} for poor writing, {{expert}}, for pages needing expert attention, {{notenglish}} for articles written in a foreign language, {{npov}} for bias, {{stub}} for a short article or {{verify}} for lack of verifiability. Only if the article fails to improve for a month or so after tagging should you consider proposing it for deletion in most cases; those articles which genuinely should be deleted straight away can generally be dealt with by speedy deletion. The main exception to this is hoax articles, which should be brought to AfD for consensus.

Hope that helps! — iridescenti (talk to me!) 19:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Prod summaries

Just a friendly reminder to use an edit summary when proposing deletion for an article. Edit summary usage is always good, but it is especially important that edit summaries are used when proposing deletion. The reason for this is that articles proposed for deletion that later have the {{prod}} tag removed should not be proposed for deletion again, but rather sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. The only easy way to check if an article was previously proposed for deletion is to look at the edit history and the edit summaries people have left before. Thanks! Oo7565 01:39, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Oo7565. I've been doing some categorisation recently and have been adding prod templates and making other appropriate edits to previously uncategorised articles along the way. I've mostly just used the standard categorisation edit summary (Categorizing article - You can help!) but I can see the benefit of adding a 'prod' tag to that as well where appropriate. I'll do that in future. By the way, if you're using your prod-summary template to suggest a more descriptive edit summary rather than just cases with no edit summary at all, could I suggest you add some suitable words to cover those cases? Gimboid13 06:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. And you're not being a pest at all! To avoid confusion though, I think it would be better if the first sentence of the template said something like this:

Just a friendly reminder to use an edit summary that includes the words 'prod' or 'proposed deletion' when proposing deletion for an article.

I'll leave it to you to pass that suggestion on if you think it's appropriate. Keep up the good work! Gimboid13 00:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

"All schools are notable"

I notice you've deprodded a lot of schools with the comment "All schools are notable". I don't know where you've got this idea from — this is most definitely not the case. Because there's no Wikipedia policy on schools (WP:SCHOOL was proposed, but was rejected as a policy), schools follow the rules of WP:ORG, and as such need multiple independent non-trivial sources to demonstrate notability; the policy specifically says that "Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found". If all schools were notable, that would lead to the situation where a minor school would be in Wikipedia terms more "notable" than a large company that didn't have significant press coverage. This is not meant as a dig at you — I realise I've been leaving a lot of comments on your talk page lately — but your deprodding of school articles is starting to annoy other editors, such as here. There's a mini-discussion of the subject on Killing Sparrows's talk page if you're interested — iridescenti (talk to me!) 12:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree 100% that we need a policy on schools, but unfortunately nobody can agree what WP:SCHOOL should say. I'd say when you're deprodding schools (or anything) give a specific reason (eg, "This school won awards", "This is the biggest school in the area", "This school had a famous pupil"). If you're in doubt, bring the school over to AfD for discussion — iridescenti (talk to me!) 12:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:CORP notability requirements

I removed the prod tag on Edge Wireless. The reason given on the tag was "unsourced article on company that does not meet the notability requirements of WP:CORP". Wikipedia:Notability (which redirects from WP:CORP) says "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources." So, if you're concurring with a tag that says "does not meet the notability requirements of WP:CORP", you're saying that it has not been the subject of secondary sources. A Google search turns up acceptable secondary sources about this company (see Talk:Edge Wireless). Google turns up plenty of press releases too, but those don't count as secondary sources and I didn't count them as such. - Afiler 20:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Ascending cholangitis

I have removed the cleanup tag on the Ascending cholangitis article, since you offered no explanation on the discussion page of why you tagged it. If you do feel that the article is not meeting Wikipedia's quality standards in some way, please feel free to retag the article with an explanation of your reasoning so that other editors may improve it accordingly.DrHouse09 02:15, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

RfA

Hi, I replied to you on my RfA. To be honest I am a bit puzzled, do you have a script that counts "real" user conversation by removing the template noise? Or did you get mix up? Cheers, -- lucasbfr ^talk 22:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

yeah it my mistake i look at the wrong line in your count i am truly sorryOo7565 23:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

RFAs

I have reverted your edits to all RFAs, as they easily qualify as spam. RFAs are discussions, and users participating in them are required to give their opinions after an analysis of the respective candidate. If you are willing to participate, please take your time to carefully review each one of the candidates and provide balanced comments about them, instead of spamming their RFAs with awkward or irrelevant positions. Thank you. Húsönd 23:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

no offensice i thought i was i look at them then i put down my thoughts in a well thought out manner no one has to agree with them also some user agree with others with saying per soso above or all above i hope that not what you upset for. so if you talking about the meassage about user talk i left on some of them i was telling them as a admin i expact them to be more active with other users on wikipedia. maybe my comments were not complete sentures but does not mean they should be thown out altoghter that not fair to me or wikipedia and the user who want to be admins i am commenting on. so they if they look at the comments people are leaving for them and they can learn and become better editors on here. one more thing i take offense you can it spam and i think thats not assuming good faithOo7565 23:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

also on more thing the Lucasbfr comment i made was my falt when i look at the count i look at the wrong line i now see they had about 6000 user talk not 400 what i said i did say i was sorry to them for my mistakeOo7565 23:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Oo7565, I believe that one main reason that Húsönd reverted your RfA edits was that you shouldn't be using edit counts as an arbitrary judge of users. This is known as editcountitis. If you really want to judge a user, you should look through their contributions and review whether or not they are worthy of the trust required of an administrator. I appreciate your support on my RfA, but if you want to support someone, you should probably list a good reason for supporting them. Taking a look at Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in adminship discussions and Wikipedia:What adminship is not would probably be a good idea before you give your opinion again. Regards, Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 04:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:FrontPageMag.com#I_strongly_object_to_this_deletion up for deletion. Travb (talk) 03:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Per WP:MUSIC, the current policy on albums is that if a band meets the criteria listed in that guideline, then its albums are automatically acceptable articles as well. As the Hidden Cameras do meet the WP:MUSIC criteria, the only criterion their albums have to meet to deserve articles is that of being albums by a band that has an article. Bearcat 07:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

   * Thanks for the tip about using edit summaries when proposing that an article be deleted, I'll be sure to use it in the future. Do you know how I'd go about becoming an administrator so I could actually do the deletion rather than just mark the articles? Most nights, which is when I figure most vandalism occurs, I spend quite a bit of time marking new articles for deletion. Useight 22:57, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your question about admin

Thank you for thinking I might do well as an administrator, but I personally don't believe I have what it takes. Wish I did. But as my own work here is constantly tagged with "tone" (and the like), causing me to now write very little, I can't see how I could judge the work of others. Still, once again...it was nice to be asked. Ki Longfellow 15:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools

Welcome to the project and we're glad to have you. I am wonderring about the goal/focus you declared "will added a lot schools in the usa not already on wikipedia". What do you mean by this? I ask because, as one of our dedicated assessors, I am constantly bobarded by stub school articles that do little more that mention the school and gvie its location. I hope you will keep in mind that any articles to add should conform to WP:Note and WP:ATT. I'm sure you already know all of this but you'd be surprised how many school additions contain one sentence that sounds roughly like: "American High School is located in Small Town, Colorado and is in the Random School District." Thanks for the quality addition I'm sure you'll make to our team. Adam McCormick 18:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC) i guess what i ment is to begin school articles not on already and try to improve those and add new information if needed to other i hope thats okOo7565 03:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Mickey Avalon photo by Andrew Huse

"At least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Mickey Avalon, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed." I'm sorry, Im confused. All I did was add a photo of Avalon but the photo is still there. It has not been reverted or removed. What would you like me to do? 1DmkIIN 03:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

i just revelted a vandle edit by a aniss name naot i pictures i hope that helps you Oo7565 04:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm confused too. 1DmkIIN, it looks like the template message was left by you on your own page?[9] Did you copy and past it from here? Are you the user who edited under 68.6.240.58 (talk · contribs)?

If so, it appears the edit Oo7565 was refering to is this one, altough I cannot tell if that is a legitimate edit or not (arguably, it was a proper removal of unsourced material).

Anyway, hope this helps clear things up for both of you. -- Satori Son 13:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, the "Bob Love" Alias. I've never heard anyone refer to Avalon as "Bob Love" and when I typed in Mickey Avalon and Bob Love together into google I found nothing so I figured it was vandalism and deleted it. Aparently, it's still there. So, who knows. 1DmkIIN 16:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... At first, I just {{fact}} tagged it, but after confirming your observation, I have now removed it again. Thanks, Satori Son 16:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Your tagging of articles

Please stop tagging an apparently random selection of articles with {{expand}} and/or {{cleanup}}, such as [10], [11], [12] and [13] today alone. While this isn't as destructive as your previous habit of randomly prodding articles with the summary "not important", it is still damaging to the project, as people who see their (valid) edits tagged as errors are likely either to feel hounded off Wikipedia, or to get a false impression of what correct policy is.

Before you tag any more articles, I would strongly advise you to familiarise yourself with the Manual of Style, which explains what is and isn't the appropriate way to write articles. I would also urge you to contribute some articles yourself before you start criticising other users for the fact that you don't like their writing — iridescenti (talk to me!) 22:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

thanks i will but my though was i was helping them and not hurting and i do also created articles and i do like when someone criticising it by leaveing a meassage for me or please a prod or delete tag on it or clean up and expand tag on it. i find it to help me to get more information thats all so i am very sorry again and i will try to be more carefull in using clean up and expand tags. one more thing when and if i place a tag on the article whoud it help if i left a meassage on the talk page telling them why i tag it yes or noOo7565 22:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Definitely — if it's not obvious why you've tagged something you should leave a message on the talk page and/or notify the editor who made the edit you've tagged. In the case of the three examples I gave above, I can't see any reason why they should have been tagged so presumably it's likely the other editors won't see it either. There may well be a legitimate case for tagging them, but in cases like this you need to explain why. If you think an article's too short or non-neutral, you can always expand/rewrite it yourself... — iridescenti (talk to me!) 00:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

All terrain skates deletion

You were probably correct marking All Terrain Skates as PROD. I probably was not careful enough to keep the products and brands out of the article. But these skates DO exist, and in fact are totally different from regular or inline skates. So, perhaps you can send me the original article, and I'll re-edit it, and remove any prod material, leaving only the extensive googling I did on the history, development and types of all terrain skates and skating.

thanks, PashuteOo7565 06:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion vs AfD

Hi. I see that you've been using {{prod}} tags quite liberally but it would be best to be more careful. For one thing, policy asks you to use it only in obvious deletion candidates which should be understood to mean that you are fairly convinced that no argument to keep the article would ever be made in an AfD debate, not that you personally feel strongly that this should be deleted. But leaving policy aside for a minute, it's also good common sense: when prods expire, an admin, like me, goes over the article and is very likely to remove the tag and send it to AfD in any case. Overreaching prod tags also tend to anger editors who find that Wikipedia is too deletion-happy. In any case, in doubt, please use AfD. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 07:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for the notice regarding the prod tag on this article. I have removed it and cleaned up the article a bit (added some references, ex. links, etc).

please update the infobox on the player update the App please update the app because if you dont or if no one does someone will afd it and it will be gone for not played a game for a club okOo7565 18:37, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Oo7565, the very first sentence of the article includes "he was playing for Étoile du Sahel". You have had numerous warnings re your incorrect {{prod}}ding of articles; please familiarise yourself with WP:N and WP:BIO before you keep doing this — iridescent (talk to me!) 18:49, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

i know that but just being on the roster does not mean they are notable they have to play in a game for that team/club. there are some soccer players articles on here where all they say there on the roster on that team but not played for them so not passing wp:bio for athlets espeacally thisa sentence Competitors who have played in a fully professional league. i have in the past prod 2 such articles 1 the prod expired and the article got deleted another one the prod was contested i took it to afd and the consences was delete. the quick way to see a player have played is when they have a infobox on the article so a editor can quickly check for they played or not. i hope you see my point does not mean you have to agree with it and please tell me if i am missing something. one more thing i thoughts my prod of late had gotten better if i am wrong i am sorry againOo7565 19:12, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

No worries. I understand your concern about not knowing which players have appeared for a club and which are just in the reserve team. The problem for players in the Tunisian league is finding someone that knows French/Arabic sufficiently to track the statistics. I know Ben Dhifallah has appeared at a minimum of once (with one goal scored) in the 2007-08 season per the FIFA.com article. I think the cite to the article is sufficient to establish that he has played without adding statistics to the infobox since they are likely to be incomplete. Best regards.

Sorry about that, I had given it a lengthy rationale including a link to a mention in an article, but it seems to have disappeared.

Speedy deletion of New Bedford High School

A tag has been placed on New Bedford High School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion A7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Arthur 23:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Your request for Adminship

Hi, to save yourself some pain I think you ought to think about withdrawing this before too many people pile on. Either that or use a spell checker to amend your writing on it in double quick time. Nick mallory 07:32, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I concur with Nick mallory. I'm sure you mean well, but your request will not succeed. Best of luck, faithless (^speak) 07:48, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure you guys mean well, but don't you think you're being a bit hard on the poor guy? I won't deny that his RfA may not succeed. But don't you think it's kind of unfair to have people tell him he should just close the matter, because "he's not cut out for the job yet"? Yes, that may be that case, but at least let him watch the RfA's progress, let him see the constructive critque others have left for him, and give him a chance to fix up what he needs to. After all, how can one learn from mistakes they don't know they've made? I know that yes, he is having trouble understanding a few of Wikipedia's policies, and I'm helping answer questions about them. But ignoring that and his grammar, he is certainly a capable editor on Wikipedia. Give him time, and he will certainly improve, perhaps enough to succeed at RfA. L337 kybldmstr 10:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

If you use the firefox browser you can have an automatic spellchecker which will underline any mistakes you make in red. This makes it much easier for you to avoid the spelling mistakes which otherwise are going to hold you back. There are plenty of people who'll coach you and help you if you ask them. I'd do that if I were you. Nick mallory 12:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:L337 kybldmstr, in what way am I "being hard on the guy?" Is it the way that I apologized to him at his RfA for the inconsiderate and rude behavior of other Wikipedians? The way that I offered him constructive criticism on that same RfA? His RfA was doomed to fail from the start; that may sound harsh, but it's the truth. Letting others pile on a mountain of nonconstructive "opposes" would be far more harsh than suggesting he withdraw his request. Oo7565, may I recommend that you look into either editor review or admin coaching? Either one should help you improve as an editor, and offer you better odds of eventually becoming an admin. If I can help you in any way, don't hesitate to ask, I'll do whatever I can. :) Cheers, faithless (^speak) 19:58, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I know you're only doing what you think is right, and I appreciate it. However, if you were so concerned about a mountain of editors opposing his RfA, why couldn't you havr simply asked an admin to kindly snowball the matter, or perhaps even suggested admin coaching to start with, instead of telling him he won't succeed, end of sentence? Remember, we have to guide the editors who aren't as skilled as we are, not simply say "Withdraw your RfA because it won't succeed" for fear of something WP:SNOW can prevent anyway, when we can gently suggest methods for improvment. Please understand I'm not attacking you, but trying to explain that there are better alternatives to gently stating the obvious. L337 kybldmstr 23:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: policies question about Notability

Regarding your question on an article passing or failing a notability guideline, it would depend on which guideline the article relates to. In the case of WP:MUSIC, a person or group of people related to music would only need to pass one of the relevant criteria (assuming there is established factuality) to be considered notable. With WP:BIO however, the notability guideline for articles on people, all criteria under Basic criteria have to be met for the person to be considered notable.

I should note of course, failing a notability guideline doesn't always mean the article should be deleted. For instance, if a stub on an actor is created and the article fails WP:BLP, it's better to Google the actor's name to see if and how they are notable, rather than simply prodding the article for failing WP:BLP. I understand your good intentions with doing that, but it's not the best course of action to take, and only shows you don't fully understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I guess I shouldn't end on a somewhat negative note though, so I'll wrap this up by saying you're doing a good job (from what I've seen) reverting vandalism, and I'm glad you asked me about the notability guidelines - sometimes the policies become difficult to understand (I've misinterpreted them occasionally myself) and it's better to double-check with someone before rushing ahead to a deletion discussion.

Your hasty prod

Hi 0o7565: I disagree with your prod of the Arna Poupko Fisher article, it should follow the regular AfD procedures because hasty prods of persons in Jewish public life have been disputed in the past, and may result in un-intended controversy. Let it follow the standard procedures. I have put it forth as a regular AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arna Poupko Fisher and I have also put a notice at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Judaism. Thanks, IZAK 20:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of North Clayton High School

North Clayton High School, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

Incorrect use of "minor edit" check box

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Battle of Berlin, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Hqb 17:00, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Devin Brennan-McBride

In the USA, members of Division I NCAA men's basketball teams play on a national stage. Each member of the team receives national (or at least regional) media coverage by reliable, third-party sources, which is what our notability guidelines for people are meant to guarantee. Trying to determine who's a star and who's unlikely to see much court time is an invitation to speculation by Wikipedia editors, of the sort we're institutionally committed to avoid. All Division I men's college basketball players therefore compete on the highest level of their amateur sport, and as such meet current notability guidelines.

Coffee High School

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Coffee High School, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 03:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

InGen

Hi Oo7565, I have removed your proposed deletion notice from the InGen article. I think wider community discussion would be needed before this article was deleted. You should take this to AfD for further consideration. However, you may want to hold off on an AfD for the moment. There is a current arbitration case which includes a temporary injunction against deleting certain articles related to fictional characters: Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Episodes_and_characters_2/Proposed_decision#Halt_to_activities. While InGen is not strictly within the terms of the ArbCom injunction, it may make sense to let that case reach a conclusion before proceeding. Best, Gwernol 12:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Coffee High School

An editor has nominated Coffee High School, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion.

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coffee High School and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 15:59, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

prods and speedies

I see you are doing the very useful cleanup job of working on the articles tagged for notability. and for most you are deciding with what I think is very good judgment. But it is not enough to look at the article and make a personal judgement that something is or isn't notable. The first part of the process of clearing these tags is to try yourself to look for additional information in appropriate places, and then tag the ones where you can not find enough. It helps very much if you specifically say in such cases where you have looked--historical topics,for example, can not necessarily be found on the internet. For specialized subjects, it is also useful to ask on the appropriate WikiProject noticeboard-- I, for example, have learned by now that I am not capable of judging everything by myself. You are going too quickly.It is not possible to judge article properly at the rate you are doing them. As for me, I think a hour well spent if I can save one or two articles. Even when I am getting rid of the worst of the proposed speedy deletions, I do only a few at a time, in order to keep in proportion. DGG (talk) 23:50, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Access Research Network, without either resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Thank you.

Speedy deletion of A Bou Saada

A tag has been placed on A Bou Saada requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Muro de Aguas (write me) 17:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Füchse Berlin

A tag has been placed on Füchse Berlin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

WTF ???

Hi, i just log into wikipedia after a 10-day break, and see that on June 18th you proposed the deletion of A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors, and album by metal musician Xasthur that was indeed first published as a "non-notable" demo release, but was later reissued not less than 3 times by official record companies, therefore obviously meeting wikipedia's notability guidelines for albums. I would love to discuss this in a deletion debate, but I see that somehow the album was speedy-deleted on June 23rd and the page is gone. Since I spent a few hours editing this page and gathering the press reviews that were linked on it, I'm pretty infuriated. Any suggestion of what should be done now?

Could you please explain more fully?

Could you please explain more fully the {{prod}} you place on Abdalhadi M. Al-Sopai?

Your prod tag asserts the article does not assert why the subject is important or significant.

Perhaps you didn't read the second paragraph, which states:

Abdalhadi M. Al-Sopai is notable because even though he is clearly in detention in Guantanamo his name is missing from the official lists, at least by that spelling.

What am I missing? Perhaps you can explain why being held, for years, without charge, in secret detention, in violation of international law is not significant?

Help request from User:timelord2067

Greetings, I don't know if this is the correct place to ask for your help, I started entering information for a good friend of mine Maree Pavletich - there _was_ a link on the NZ SF Natcon page for Maree Sole (which has since been removed) after making some additions , the page was marked for deleation, then ended up at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:Timelord2067/Maree_Sole Unknown to me whole paragraphs where deleated and then again marked for deleation on the grounds that the users information was not interesting enough.

User:Grutness states that the information deleated by User:Dweller was in violation of Copyright. Given that the information was dictated to me by Maree in her home and via emails between us, I am at a loss to see how the information can be branded as violating copyright.??

I would laso like to know where I can work on the page without it being repeatedly taged for deleation?

Questions from User:Eleoopy

I am starting to work on few articles on wikipedia again, and I realize I have a lot of questions to ask.

• Is there a place where I can find quick list of MOS? I'm not sure I want to read the article every time i want to reference something.

i do not know the answer for that sorry

• If I am creating a stub, should I be putting the {{stub}} on top of the page or at the bottom? I am seeing both styles throughout the wikipedia.

i think either way is fine but i do think the proper place for the stub tags is at the bottom.

• I am always not sure if I want to create an article or not, since I am afraid it might get deleted. What are some tips for any new article?

do not be afraid to make articles on here the number one thing is if the article is well sourced it be fine besides that it is really the opinion of each wikipedia user looking at your article and if they it it fine it ok but some may try to help you out by placeing tags on it but if thats soes not help your article they might try to get rid of it i hope this helps you.Oo7565 (talk) 23:03, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Articles for Creation

I see you've noticed the new submission process for AFC. You may not be aware, but part of the impetus behind the new process was to reduce the acceptance process to merely moving the submission, thus maintaining the original editor's presence in the history and simplifying the work needed to be done by the reviewer.

Hi, thanks for your work at AfC. Just one request - would you please not transclude the decline template? Just translude it, thanks. And we now have a new template {{tl|AFC submission}} to make life easier for us. You can read the instructions for it there. Best wishes, MSGJ 23:52, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, you are still substituting this {{AFC completed}} template. Please transclude it as then it is easier for users to resubmit their article if necessary. Also please check out the {{tl|AFC submission}} instructions. Thanks! MSGJ 08:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Spam in Real-Time Decisions (RTD)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Real-Time Decisions (RTD), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Real-Time Decisions (RTD) is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Real-Time Decisions (RTD), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 09:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't be discouraged by this, but I suggest that you ask the admin to undelete the article back into the AFC page. Then we will have the record of an AFC page with a problem - add the {{AFC submission|D|spam}} back on. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 07:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Princess Protection Program

A tag has been placed on Princess Protection Program requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. Mdsummermsw (talk) 12:39, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Prita Chhabra

Regarding Prita Chhabra (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), please exercise care when moving articles as a part of the articles for creation process. This article was a copy/paste of the artists' bio from http://www.pritamusic.com/biography.php . Even if it weren't a copy/paste, it was blatantly promotional (section headings like "love of music" are rarely appropriate for an encyclopedia). Even if it weren't blatantly promotional, there is no evidence of reliable external sources of information, meaning that this person does not appear to meet our notability inclusion standards. --B (talk) 12:39, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Articles for creation

Again, please be careful with this stuff. I've deleted another of your articles - Ligators as an obvious, silly hoax. I've prodded Grandmothers Against the War - Bay Area. Articles shouldn't be placed in mainspace automatically - they need to be vetted for notability and at a minimum given a stub tag, one or more appropriate categories, and reasonably correct formatting. While Wikipedia is always in development, nothing should be in the main space unless it is ready for a potential reader. --B (talk) 18:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Jeffrey T. Hinson

A tag has been placed on Jeffrey T. Hinson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mdsummermsw (talk) 20:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

TRIPLE WHACK!

"WP:WHACK" redirects here. You may be looking for WP:Wikipedia is not Whac-A-Mole (WP:WHAC).

Not to be confused with Cod throwing.

Whacking with a wet trout or trouting is a common practice on Wikipedia when experienced editors slip up and make a silly mistake. It, along with sentencing to the village stocks, is used to resolve one-off instances of seemingly silly behavior amongst normally constructive community members, as opposed to long term patterns of disruptive edits, which earn warnings and blocks.

Example

Whack!

The above is a WikiTrout (Oncorhynchus macrowikipediensis), used to make subtle adjustments to the clue levels of experienced Wikipedians.

To whack a user with a wet trout, simply place {{trout}} on their talk page.

Welcoming new users

Hi there: welcoming new users is a good thing (I do it myself) but please check the user's contributions before choosing a welcome template. The one you applied to User talk:Georgeismylover thanked them for their contributions, but their sole contribution at that point was an unhelpful edit to September 19 which had to be reverted.

Proposed deletion of Centro Warringal

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Centro Warringal, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. — Yavoh 19:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism??

Hi again! Thanks for the tips last time. Here is a new question for you. I understand the part of Vandalism in a wiki article, but what about talk pages. Can we mark those as vandalism when there is no useful discussion? Like the one I was looking at is Talk:Ming_Dao, and the user just put "hi ming dao" as some sort of way to get people's attention. I would like to make this a speedy deletion but Just wasnt sure how or if it is qualify as a deletion. Thanks! Eleoopy (talk) 04:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:GNG

Your claim that "being in star wars is notabil enough take to afd if you want" is specious. Please see WP:GNG for an understanding of what constitutes notability.

Band geek

Regarding your summary of this edit, allow me to correct your misconception. I'm not "mad" about anything. Indeed, I've contributed to the article in the past, including adding the image. Someone else had already tagged the article as having a possibly inappropriate title but that was not my sole reason for the prod. Recently, a lot of uncited info was removed. I just don't think what is left is notable by itself. →Wordbuilder (talk) 13:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

De-prod

Just a couple of things: First, anyone can de-prod for any reason (or even no reason), so please don't think I'm saying that you can't... but judging by your edit summaries, you appear to be confused about the notability standards for some types of articles—specifically albums. You might want to refer to WP:MUSIC#Albums for the notability rules regarding albums. Second, when you do de-prod an article, please consider using {{oldprodfull}} on the article's talk page. It's very helpful for editors who visit the article after you've edited it. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 00:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Contesting a proposed deletion

• There are 4 interwiks and 5 references to external sources. About Notability. His notability is obvious, both for Russian, and for international culture. Ilya Kormiltsev, poet, translator, the head of the radical publisher Ultra Kultura and a former songwriter for the Soviet rock band Nautilus Pompilius. He is best-remembered for co-writing some of the best-known Nautilus Pompilius songs, such as the anti-totalitarian anthems “Skovanniye Odnoi Tsepyu” (Chained Together) and “Shar Tsveta Khaki” (Khaki-Colored Globe). Always an opponent to the Soviet and post-Soviet authorities, he rejected the Lenin Komsomol Award that was given to Nautilus Pompilius in 1989. [14] - Vald (talk) 09:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Vald, I suspect that RfD tag in Ilya Kormiltsev should not be simply deleted, but disputed first. Just deletion of RfD prevents proper discussion and I guess is a violation of procedure.

Regarding Kormiltsev, would be great to see reliable independent sources that he was somehow notable. A link to some other celebrity (?) is hardly enough. How much "Nautilus Pompilius" is exactly famous? Volodymir k (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 11:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC).

Nautilus Pompilius was one of the most famous rock bands in USSR, and most of their lyrics was penned by Kormiltsev. I do not normally listen to rock music, still I know about them pretty well. If you don't know a bit about Nautilus Pompilius, why would you edit an article on Kormiltsev in the first place? The good modus operandi on WP is to only work on subjects you know well, while trusting other editors when it comes to subjects you know nothing about and they know well. Regarding sources, there are many of them in the article - and they were they when you placed PROD tag. Major Russian radio stations and newspappers had materials about him. Also, If've added a referenced note about a memorial errected for Ilya in London. You can check the link yourself and see the photo of this memorial (which is in English).

RHYTHM Poetry Magazine

Hi, I recently came across this article, and cannot see how it passes our WP:N guideline. I was about to nominate for deletion, but saw it had been created through AfC, so just thought I'd ask you to clear up how it is worthy of an article. I don't see how any of the sources listed establish such notability. Cheers. Nouse4aname (talk) 22:26, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

usually i do not like to afd or prod anything right after the article created unless it seriously lacking sources and give it time for people to work on it and then if no one does after x amount of time then i would do something. but that's me you can do what ever you like. yeah i thought it was good enough to pass but sometimes my judgment may be off so if it is i am sorry about that so so want you like also i did add some more tags to try to get help for itOo7565 (talk) 22:45, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. The article was created by an IP who hasn't edited it since. I think I'll send it through AfD, rather than leave it sitting around. Cheers Nouse4aname (talk) 22:47, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Prodding of notability-tagged articles

I notice that you've recently been systematically prodding a large number of articles tagged for notability. While many of these are undoubtedly of marginal notability at best, I think a few are getting bundled into the wash. Adolfo J. de Bold, for example, seems clearly notable.

If the article contains some claims to notability, it is fairer to take it to AfD so that it can have a full discussion by the community. It's also kinder on those who patrol the prod list not to prod too many articles in a batch. Thanks, Espresso Addict (talk) 15:58, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

proberly the professor was right in doing that because anyone can edit on here and make article into what they want every sec in a day and articles can change every sec of each day. even thought many editors try to protect the articles on here we cant catch everything hope that helps you.

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you

The article you created, Centro_Warringal maybe deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Centro_Warringal.

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

1. You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
2. You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
   
3. When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
   Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
   Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.
4. You can merge the article into a larger or better established article on the same topic.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 09:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

AfC news

Dear AfC participant,

1. Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
2. Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
3. Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
4. There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.Oo7565 (talk) 17:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Cybergoth / January 2009

Thank you for the notice of concern regarding the recent flurry of Cybergoth reverts and counter-reverts. Rest assured that my only intention behind my actions was to promote and encourage discussion regarding the recent move of the article from Cyber (subculture) to Cybergoth. During my reverts I attempted to communicate with the opposing editor that the activity we were engaged in was disruptive and warned said editor that they were breaching the Third revert rule. In the process, I inadvertently breached it myself. Since that brief period of reversion warring, the duel has died and I assume a genuine discussion regarding the future of the article can continue. --Cast (talk) 01:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Marking edits as "Minor"

Hi. I note you have (rightly) added "Unreferenced" tags to a number of unreferenced articles recently. That's fine, but please note that your edits are also marked as "M" (for minor) which they most certainly are not. Please don't mark such edits as minor in future. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 00:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Deprod of Ramse Mostoller

You removed the prod from Ramse Mostoller. I am curious as to your reasoning. Please comment. Ariconte (talk) 21:57, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I think that sources can be found which i have for Ramsey Mostoller which is the same person i think the article creator miss speilled the name when they created itOo7565 (talk) 22:20, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I also found some places with the different name. And one that said she was male! But none of them would substantiate her (or him) as notable. If you have the sources to show notability or a correct name - please move the article and quote the source(s). Thanks, Ariconte (talk) 03:26, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

NASCAR-related topics

I noticed that you prod'd the Steve Addington article. I have the article originator's talk page on my watchlist. Addington was probably the most notable NASCAR crew chief last year and he was awarded the crew chief of the year award! Please let me know if you have concerns about the notability of a NASCAR or other American racing-related topic and I'll address them (or agree with you and let you know that). I'm sure you'll be quite pleased with the huge expansion of the article. I don't know if I can find enough to expand it 5x to get it on WP:DYK - but it's WAY better. I would consider every NASCAR crew chief who won a race in the last 10+ years to be inherently notable because there is significant press coverage and interest in these guys. Anyhow, cheers!

Hi Oo7565! I wanted to let you know that it turns out that the article for Michael Ableman that you listed for deletion was actually misspelled: "Michael Abelman".

Your {{prod}} tagging

I have just declined three {{prod}} requests from you in a row (Abreu carga, Abdullah Nabeel Al Ahmad and Aika). I don't know if you're working through AllPages alphabetically tagging everything you've never heard of for deletion or what, and I appreciate you're trying to help, but please familiarise yourself with our deletion criteria a bit more; all things like this do is waste your time, waste the time of the admin who has to decline your requests, and potentially put off editors to the encyclopedia who see their articles tagged for deletion and leave the project. Thanks! – iridescent 23:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Enough is enough

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. You've been repeatedly warned about this; if you continue to tag articles for deletion for no reason or for spurious reasons, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. – iridescent 19:48, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

FWIW, many of the articles for which you removed the perfectly justified prod tags, were taken to afd and rather quickly and unanimously deleted, this is just as disruptive, though less dangerous. As someone with what people sometimes say is a reputation as a inclusionist, I wouldn't want to comment in the other direction, but I will on this. You can acquire judgement in learning what merits deletion and what does by watching discussions at WP:AFD' there's a debatable ground in the middle, but most articles are clear one way or another. a reasonable error rate in tagging is 10%, not 50%. DGG (talk) 01:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

The "last warning" seems excessive, since the first several of the Prods I have gone over in the subsequent AFDs seem deserving of deletion. I disagree with the block warning. Let's see the outcome of the AFDs for the articles in question. Edison (talk) 23:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Let's see the outcomes of the AFDs before waving the banhammer. I disagree with the "final warning." Edison (talk) 23:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

So far I see 5 deleted as a result of AFD, 9 kept, one merged, and 2 still open. If the nominations were truly random, that would say bad things about how encyclopedic the average Wikipedia article is. Rather, I think the AFD outcomes to date show that many of the articles in question were deficient in meeting the guidelines for notability or other guidelines. Edison (talk) 05:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Countesthorpe Cricket Club

A tag has been placed on Countesthorpe Cricket Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

A notability-motivated deletion

Many years ago, someone created a page about me, which I soon learned I should monitor for accuracy. (It once claimed I was a negotiator in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.) In a "See Also" section of that page, someone listed Tesler's Theorem, which linked to another Wikipedia page. I noticed yesterday that the link was broken. Clicking it took me to a "has been deleted" page with this log entry:

15:05, 30 April 2008 Rjd0060 (talk | contribs) deleted "Tesler's Theorem" ‎ (Speedy deleted per (CSD R1), Redirect to deleted page "AI effect".)

CSD R1 does not appear to be a currently valid reason to speedy-delete a page, but it was a valid reason at the time. Apparently, after the Tesler's Theorem page was created, someone created the AI effect page, then someone redirected Tesler's Theorem to AI effect, then AI effect was tagged for deletion. According to [[20]], you were involved in the process that led to AI effect being deleted due to "little claim of notability and poor references" following a very brief debate (one comment for, one comment against?). However, a few months later, AI effect was recreated as a stub, and remains there today. Moreover, "Tesler's Theorem" appears in roughly 200 Google search results and three Amazon book search results (which only search a subset of books). If you can shed any light on the process, I would appreciate it. I will check my talk page for your reply or you can email me at my last name at pobox dot com. Thank you.

Misleading claims by User:Arnzy / User:Sb617

I need your help, user Arnzy / User:Sb617 blanket reverts all contributions that I make and is now claiming that I am attacking him / her.

This is the message that I have left on his / her talk page. I would appreciate it if you could help mediate with these persons as it is disgusting that this person is acting in this appaling mannor as though the pages were their own. It does however explain why Wikipedia is riddled with obviously wrong information.

(Start of message) User Arnzy claims that I have attacked him / her - this is a false claim.

I will ask again:

Do you live in Queensland?

Instead of blanket reverting all contributions, What information do you claim that I have contributed is wrong?

Where is your proof?

Why won't you respond to my requests?

Why do you change information that is correct (contributed by myself and others) back to blatantly incorrect information?

When do you want to meet at Caboolture station so that you can show me how wrong you claim I am and then I can finally show you I am not?

Not every answer can be found in the SQEIP WEBSITE which is where you rely heavily to glean your (often outdated) contributions.

I again extend my hand in friendship in the hope that together we can work on making the pages that we jointly contribute to better.

(End of message) --Timelord2067 (talk) 08:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Copy/paste from Timelord's talk page. Quite frankly in the limited time I have on here, I've had enough of running into edit issues with User:Timelord2067 with the mud slinging going on in the talk page.

FYI, the request for protection to the page was rejected by the admins per [21], instead redirecting us to Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution, which I am willing to do without him resorting to snide attacks at me via talk pages. --Sb617 (talk · contribs) 09:00, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

[22] was a indirect attack not only at me, but at my editing contributions as well. This is enough to convince me that it is dificult to speak to you without resorting to snide attacks on my contributions. I live in Queensland is all you need to know.

The rest of your questions are irrelevelant, considering the problems I had with you in the past makes it very difficult for me to assume your edits are done in good faith.

I am willing to work through our problems via Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution, without the snide attacks. Any attacks at me, and I will be forced to assume your edits are not done in good faith, resorting to me reverting your edits, regardless if they are correct or not. --Sb617 (talk · contribs) 08:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

And as predicted, s/he is now re-posting the same information that s/he removed and now claiming it as their own.

I have offered to discuss what ever issues that there may be, and User:Arnzy (as you can read) refuses to answer my simple questions.

Please help. --Timelord2067 (talk) 11:24, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Apparently User:Arnzy is now going by the name User:Sb617 unless S/he is going by a new name. (Sb617 is the one that posted the messages here on your talk page).

I still haven't been contacted by either user name to state how I am supposed to have attacked this person. All of my attempts to contact this person go unanswered. So, yes, if you can start some sort of dispute resolution process against this person as their following me to other persons pages and posting inflammatory posts - and hijacking my request to have the page frozen - would be greatly appreciated. --Timelord2067 (talk) 00:53, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Softnyx

The pages for the games Gunbound and Rakion show that the developer is a company called Softnyx, however a page for the company itself does not exist. I'm trying to help Wikipedia by creating a page for the Developer, but you are denying it. According to Wikipedia Policies, a mainstream newspaper is a reliable source for verifitability and non-english sources are acceptable if an English equivalent is not available. What's happening? Don't you know your own policies?Oo7565 (talk) 17:46, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

The newspaper source are fine but the others are lacking/ very poor and not really RS i guess i am disappointed in the company source you used i thought it would be better in my opinion if you can find any better sources it would help. did you talk to user Triplestop the other user who said no as well and ask his opinion to help you. i am trying to help but trust me people on here try to find fault with articles and if they see one and try to get rid of them on here either bye speedy, prod, of afd and right now i do not think this article would make it thur either a prod or afd process and so i am really trying to help you here. not trying to be meanOo7565 (talk) 17:46, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

- Well, I guess you really are not trying to be mean, however you have confirmed that the impression I was having lately about Wikipedia is true. You may think you were helping me; however it was me trying to help Wikipedia. I really don’t care if there is an article about that company written here, chance (and curiosity) got me into looking for information about that company, and when I found there was no article about it on Wikipedia, I thought it was foolish that two software products developed by this company where notable enough to have their own articles, but the developer itself was not (even though it is also referenced in nine more articles), and I wanted to help at least writing a brief description of it. Right now both articles: Gunbound and Rakion have a red link and no article that link them together. People reading those articles will have to leave Wikipedia to find more information about what other products were made by the same maker. It is obvious that Wikipedia is changed; it is no longer the old Wikipedia from 2005 that encouraged contribution for filling the gaps of all the red links. Now most moderators in their noble effort to fight against spam, self-promotion and inaccurate information have lost vision and common sense and are making their own twisted interpretation of what is notable or what is a reliable source. I didn’t contact the other moderator because I thought he may have his reasons to distrust Gamespot and Neoseeker as sources (even though they are online publications who specialize on the topic), so I wasted almost an hour of my time before resubmitting looking for a more traditional source: a newspaper. However let’s face it, an U.S. newspaper won’t cover an article about a South Korean game developer that has no branches operating in the U.S. unless there is a suicide or a mass murder involved in the story. My best possibility to find a better reliable source was to find a South Korean newspaper, and I had to rely on online translators to check that the facts of the only sentence I wrote were truth (date of foundation, founder and some products developed by them). Yet it seems that wasn’t good enough either. So I realized it’s hopeless and the English Wikipedia is already beyond salvation, hopefully a new alternative will come and will last some more years until it gets spoiled too. However I don’t blame you for your actions, as you are just another automata that belong to the same twisted minded collective that rule over Wikipedia, and you just act accordingly for fear of your peers that will ban you if you show any sign of individual thinking. But since you are in the helpful mood maybe I should point you to this list List_of_south_korean_companies several of the companies listed there also lack good sources, just be careful when deleting them you may delete the whole Country by mistake. For now I will just check more frequently the Spanish Wikipedia which looks less spoiled. Probably Softnyx will get its own article the day it gets mentioned on a South Park episode, an XKCD comic or whatever you guys are into these days… —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.43.122.171 (talk) 00:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Oo7565, thanks for the vote of confidence, and I slept on the idea last night but I think I'll stick to low level meddling.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/McClellandtown

Could you reconsider your review here? As a populated town, it has inherent notability, and most of these tiny towns that have an article have only one or two references (or none). Usually these references are just censuses, but this town in particular had a book about the history of the district, and then you could easily find census information for an American town. The article is thick with an inappropriate tone, but it's certainly notability, and reliable sourcing is no issue. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 03:51, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

well it it had more sourcing i could actually see then maybe the source is the book but i cant see the book, or own the book so i cant check it. bye no means i not saying the source the book is bad but how am i suppose to check it? also the one who requested it could have made the article them selves because they have the a id already Articles for creation are mostly for people with out Wikipedia id all ready.Oo7565 (talk) 04:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

In issues of "I don't have that source", we assume good faith. It's the same with references in another language. Also, WP:AFC is not just for IPs, but for anyone who wishes to have an article proof-read and checked to make sure it complies with guidelines. Experience editors know the rules; newbies may not. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 21:53, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

i know i am sorry i know afc is everyone and it's weare people go and get help with an article you want to put up on here but in the past i put up some articles that other people may have not thur afc although most of them are still on here and i am trying to get better on that. i do not want to start anything with anyone if you know i mean so i am sorry againOo7565 (talk) 22:09, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys, just dropping in to let you know that I re-declined the submission. The sources provided (imdb and myspace) are definitely not verifiably reliable. (Even if they DID count, however however, neither of them are actual sources - Jaime Milner isn't listed anywhere on IMDB in relation to the cast list for the movie (and not on his posted resumé) and MySpace is about the band, not him - so we should ignore them not once but twice.) I looked around Google and Google news, which Eastmain did as well, and found nothing on this dude. Moreover, even if we had the sources to back any of these claims up, he would still fail WP:ENT as he has not had "significant roles in multiple commercially produced or significant films..." ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 18:41, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Warning re. Articles for creation

Please stop adding inappropriate content to Wikipedia via the Articles For creation process.

Recently, you accepted this version of the article about Zdenek Altner. Wikipedia's policy on biographical information about living persons is stricter than that of other articles, because of the dangers of legal actions. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article must include proper sources.

This article had two references, but they only prove that the person wrote for a couple of foreign magazines. They do not assert that the person is under governmental suppression ('watched'), nor do they cover the financial irregularity claims. These are controversial, non-neutral statements, so they would require a solid reliable source if they are to appear.

In light of past issues with Articles for creation, I politely ask that you do not work on AFC for a while. I think that there are many other areas on Wikipedia where you could help out and learn more about policies. For example, helping out with articles deletion discussions, or helping with the huge backlog of tasks.

One of the best ways to get involved is to join some projects - you could browse them in projects.

I would be very happy to help and advise about anything. Please don't take this warning personally. I simply think that it is in our mutual best interests if you don't work on AFC, that's all. Thanks for your time; please do ask me about anything you like on my own talk page, or talk to helpers live, with this. Best of luck with your future editing.  Chzz  ►  20:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Drakenberg

Hello, I noticed your PROD of Drakenberg which you did with this edit, and this is indeed a subject which is of borderline notability, if not less. But I'm somewhat confused as to what you write in the template: "WP:N that has been unsourced for many months. Do not remove this tag without sourcing the bio." First question: since the article is on a residential area what you you mean with "this bio"? Second question: is your concern notability or lack of references? A non-notable subject doesn't become more notable with references, and even during the recent mass BLP deletion chaos I haven't seriously seen any proposal to mass PROD non-BLP articles for simply being unreferenced rather than being non-notable under notability criteria. But, then again, I may not have seen all discussions. Regards, Tomas e (talk) 16:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

An update from adopt a user

Hi there Oo7565! You may be wondering, what have I done to sound the alarm this time? Nothing. I'm messaging you in regards to the adopt-a-user program, which currently has a backlog of users wishing to be adopted. This doesn't make much sense, as we have a considerable list of users offer adoption, so there shouldn't be any backlog. I've begun to eliminate this backlog myself through a matching program, but I need your help to make it work. Of course, adoptees and adopters don't have to go through there, but I believe it helps eliminate the backlog because someone is actively matching pairs.

On the list of adopters, I have modified the middle column to say "Interests." It's easier working with other users that have similar interests, so if it's not too much to ask, could you add your interests in the middle column? For example, if I was interested in hurricanes, computers, business, and ... reptiles? I would place those in the middle column. Counter-vandalism and the like can also be included (maintenance should be used as the general term). The more interests, the better, since adoptees can learn more about you and choose the one they feel most comfortable working with. The information about when you're most active and other stuff can go into the "Notes" section to the right.

Finally, I've gone around and asked adoptees (and will in the future) to fill in a short survey so adopters can take the initiative and contact users they feel comfortable working with. We all know that most adoptees just place the adopt me template on their user page and leave it - so it's up to us to approach them and offer adoption. So, please take a look at the survey, adopt those that fit your interests, and maybe watchlist it so you can see the interests of adoptees and adopt one that fits your interests in the future.

Once again, thank you for participating in the adopt-a-user program! If you wish to respond to this post, please message me on my talk page.

Robert Lew (article rejection)

I appreciate your time with reviewing this article submitted by me. I was wondering if you could explain briefly why, with respect to journal Editor status of the topic of the article, you assessed as "unreliable" an official page of an academic journal from Oxford University Press Journals? Perhaps the problem was with me linking to the main page, whereas the information on Editor status (Reviews & Associate editor) is given on a subpage http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/lexico/editorial_board.html. Would it have been preferable, in your view, to link to a subpage? May I point out that this journal is unquestionably the most important one worldwide within the area of lexicography, and that it is also currently in the second quartile of the JCR category Linguistics in terms of the Impact Factor. Further, would an official institutional page of a University not be a reliable source with respect to verifying the professorial position held? Finally, would a listing of published works in the Departmental database, another in the University Repository (with full-text access), and in the Thomson Reuters database not provide sufficiently reliable verification as to the areas in which the subject of the article has published? I would appreciate some clarification on the above points, so that I can perhaps rework the article to improve the reliability of the references Many thanks for your time!

to be honest the first sources you have are fine but the last 3 were iffy to me the last 2 where were you could get it which is fine but i do not know if you need to have them in the sources and this one http://www.kosciuszkowski.org/en/dokumenty/main_page i do not know why you have that in sources that confused me but besides that the article looks fine. wwhen you ready you can resumbit it and someone will review it.Oo7565 (talk) 17:42, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

I see. The last three are actually all references to the Selected Dictionaries section: these are some of the major dictionaries (co-)compiled by the subject of the article. But perhaps they shouldn't be listed as sources, but linked directly at their Selected Dictionaries section (?) I thought I was following predominant practice here. Will investigate further, thanks.

Hello. You declined my articl(Declining Article for creation) . I have put everywhere I can references (blogs,official pages of the artist, webzines, official page of the band). Can you please tell why you declined it? If it isn't much for you indicate me where is wrong. I don't know what else to do. I have put as much as I can reliable references. Thank you.

Sure your sources are very week and really not that reliable most blogs and stuff like myspace pages are not reliable sources so you would need more sources then just those to be honest i would take out the myspace/blogs souces out. you can see what blogs are fine as sources in WP:sources ontop of that I think you should look at WP:music as well because I do not think this person passes that either to be honest. please feel free to ask any other questions to me or another member of the group anytimeOo7565 (talk) 18:09, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Recent WP:PROD activity

Greetings,

I see that a lot of your recent editing has involved proposing articles for deletion per WP:PROD, often for the reason of being non-notable. Looks like you're working through the C's. It also appears that you're very efficient at it, sometimes spending only two or three minutes on an article. I've looked at a few of these articles, and I wonder if you might be taking a narrow view of notability, and if you've really done much research into how notable each topic may be. Perhaps applying the {{notability}} tag instead of the {{prod}} tag might be more appropriate and constructive. Bchabala2 (talk) 04:43, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Marek Żukow-Karczewski

Hey! I was wondering what you thought of this AfC, which you declined a little while ago. You declined it because it lacked reliable sources and stuff. It looks like the IP who's been working on it has added a bunch, and I'm inclined to accept it. Even though I did some cleanup of how it was written and the IP seems to have done some of that too, I do still have a few reservations. Firstly, a lot of the references aren't actually in English, so I'm not quite sure, and I'm not 100% sure about the notability, even though I'm pretty sure he's notable. Anyways, before I accept it (or do anything else), I thought I'd ask you want you think, since you were the previous reviewer. TL;DR version: Thoughts on this article?

Thanks! Icy // ♫ 03:17, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Decline of "Kol Shalom Community for Humanistic Judaism"

Hey--thanks for your critiques in editing the "Kol Shalom Community for Humanistic Judaism" page.

You said that I needed to write "from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources." Could you explain specifically where I went wrong? I quoted pretty extensively from neutral sources, especially The Oregonian (local newspaper) articles that discussed the group in local Jewish periodicals, and publicly-available interviews with group members. In fact, the group's own web site was only used for a very small piece of information (number of households).

Thanks. Any help would be appreciated.

there is not enough detail go more into more history etc... and its does not explain why it is notable enough to be on here also sources are fine but it would be nice to be able to see the articles in the sources it makes it easier for the reviewer to double check the article to make sure its not copy-written any part of the source.

Hi Oo7565. I'm leaving you this message because you have previously been involved as an adopter with Wikipedia's Adopt-a-user program. A clean-up of this program is currently underway, and as part of the process I am trying to find out who is and isn't still interested in remaining an adopter.

If you would prefer not to be part of the adoption program anymore, you need do nothing; when the overhaul of the project is completed your name will be removed from the list of active adopters. However, if you have current adoptees, an active adoption school or an interest in adopting in the near future, then please let us know by signing here.

If you want to remain in the project and can currently take on more adoptees, there is a serious backlog at Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user; it would be enormously helpful if you could take on one or two of the users there.

First off I can not take down the first article I dont have the power to do that only admins do if you want that done you will need to speak to one of them on how to do that.

secondly I dont see why the point to totally get rid of the article already on wikipedia on her it is bascully the same one u submutted the better thing is to just add the things u want to add into article that already exits rather then getting rid of that article. But anyway it up to you but if u do delate the already created article about her u will need to talk to a admin on here they will help you out in that aspect then u can resubmit the request and someone will look at it again and there decshion on it if you do resumbit it it will not be reviwed by me a another member of afc will review it and accecpt it or decline it ok i hope this help u outOo7565 (talk) 13:19, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Your AfC reviews

Hi, when reviewing, please use the AfC helper script which can be installed in the preferences under "Gadgets". It notifies the user and does many stuff for you including cleanup. Moreover: Please read and get more familiar with WP:42 and the links on the page. Many accepted submissions by you are simply not good enough to get accepted because they are missing independent, reliable, 3rd party references. The golden rule is that there are at least 3 independent, reliable, 3rd party references... Moreover I don't see that your simply always accept submissions. Why didn't you decline any submission? mabdul 05:41, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Just to clarify a bit more on what Mabdul says, the basic standard that reviewers hold is, "if this article was nominated for deletion, would it be able to be kept on its own merits?" We pass articles because their subjects are notable enough to deserve a standalone article on Wikipedia, and the notability can be verified without any additional work.

I would say that asking for just three references is a bit of a red herring - an article about a number one hit single that only cited Billboard would still pass, in my view. Rather, you should insist on having as many good sources as you possibly can. The sources need to be from organisations with a thorough and widely recognised reputation for fact checking an editorial control, such as national newspapers or commercially published books and magazines. Don't accept any old blog or forum post as a source - ever. Anyone can start a blog and write whatever they want about anything, without considering that their views don't mesh with what the rest of the world thinks.

In summary, you need to look at articles very carefully before accepting them. I hope this clarifies things - if not, feel free to drop me a line. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:06, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews

Listen give me a chance this person is going to be 16 next year and it is pointless not to pass my review which has been worked hard on for this particular player.

Hello Oo7565. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

  • Draft:Prpl Foundation (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I believe that the prpl Foundation is an important element of the jousting for position in the age of the Internet of Things: it is a key part Imagination's attempt to find relevance for the MIPS architecture in the face of ARM & Intel. And, while I realize that this is not a formal proof of notability, the fact that it discusses five technology topics/trends and half a dozen companies that are themselves notable (by virtue of their Wikipedia entries) is suggestive, I would think.

Could you clarify a little as to whether your declination was founded more in notability or verifiability; I've explained above why I think it's notable, and I think that the article gets all key facts from secondary sources, so I was not anticipating a problem with verifiability.

Thank you very much for taking the time to review the article. I have now cited further references of the band's public appearances and hope that it now satisifes requirements.

The band has as much media coverage, if not more so, than some of the other Beatles tribute bands that currently have their own wiki pages(please look through the wiki pages of existing accepted Beatles tribute bands pages and you will see that Ultimate Beatles is more notable than some of these other bands). Please note in particular the band's recent appearance on two BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) shows. Indeed the band is one of the top tribute acts in the UK, aside from The Bootleg Beatles.

Hello

I am puzzled that this article has been inclined. The subject is a world-leading clinician and scientist who has carried out an enormous amount of original research which has been published in 570 articles, some of which have been cited here. These articles have been rigorously and independently peer-reviewed and so support the contention that the subject has made contributions which have led to very substantial advances, often of a l;ife-saving nature, in medicine. In the academic world, it is these publications that attest to an individuals' standing.

I have also cited other sources, including Researchgate, an independent review of a book by Hoffbrand, two websites noting his role in charitable orgnaizations as well as websites listing his academic degrees, honours and membership of professional bodies.

All of the documents cited are easily accessible on the internet

I am unclear as to how to proceed with this article. Any advice would be appreciated.

Copyvio in an AfC draft

Hey, just wanted to give you a head's up with an article you accepted, Deep Thinking (Book). The book was a copyright violation of this website and I'd say that about 70% of the article was a copyright violation. Another issue with the article is that it was very promotional in how it was written (both the copyright and non-copyright sections) and was actually one of the reasons for its deletion as well. It also lacked coverage to really show how the book would pass WP:NBOOK since the sources were entirely WP:PRIMARY except for a link to a Wikipedia page. The author appears to be notable as is the publisher, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by the author or publisher's notability- books have to achieve their own independent notability by way of coverage in independent and reliable sources per WP:RS. I hate to sound harsh, but this page should never have been accepted into the mainspace. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:45, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi there - thank you for your encouraging comments. I must admit to my shame, though, that Wikipedia text "scares me to death"! And I am surprised that I have got this far.
However, despite my feelings, yes, I would like you to re-consider my re-submission. I have improved my Publications' section by adding ISBN numbers and independent review references. I have no explanation why I did not do so in the first place!!
I have also removed some References and added independent newspaper articles to the others. There are two references referring to exhibitions which I cannot corroborate. They are just what they are. How do I edit the references, which vanish on the editing page? I have done it in the text - but is that the correct way?
I have also reduced the title of the page to just the name of "the victim", because there ought to be numerous Google refs for the name on its own.
I am stuck with the notability request. Some people are publicly more notable than others, but the latter can often be very notable in their own sphere without actual public proof. Where are the boundaries? I know, I should not ask this question and should read the Wikipedia instructions on the subject. But I am obviously incapable to absorb the latter.
Well, if I fail because of my inability I shall have to live with it. However, if you are willing to give me ONE more try and perhaps even tell me in detail what to change, I'll do it!!! Deric.

Smertens56 (talk) 14:30, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your initial review. Following your feedback, I have added additional, reliable references, external links, and have added related text and simplified structure. The following notability guideline has been met:

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.

Note that like many artists today, Jon Hughes has remained independent as a means to have total control of his art. In doing so he does not have the benefit of a major label pushing for high ratings, high level critic reviews, etc. With this said, the references, external links and number of releases make this article sufficient for publication based on the references given over his 15 year career.

What makes Mr. Hughes interesting is his drive to stay with his musical roots - moving to his ancestral homeland, being successful and remaining independent and prolific in his art.

Please consider my resubmission as I continue to drive for additional references.

I appreciate any and all feedback to make this publication successful in Wiki.

Many thanks,

Could you please re-review the draft Draft:Exodus (Exo album)? It has gone through significant changes and by now I believe is qualifies as an article, but it has been over 7 days and no one has yet responded to the re-submission. Only by accepting its "articlehood" can we add more information about it such as album covers and add the links to the disambiguating page, because apparently according to Bkonrad, "no we do not link from article space to drafts".

Oo7565: I think that the article as written is pretty good. Your 'review', on the other hand, is completely incomprehensible. If you are going to reject an article that took some time to write because you feel that in your opinion it is not good enough for you, please create some actual English language sentences to indicate what your problems with it are, and how it might be improved. As far as references (you say something incomprehensible about them): do you know a good way to turn the pubmed references into correct formatting? I tried using the citation tool, following the instructions as best as I could, but got a 400 error on the page. What would be helpful would be if you could reformat them or at least indicate how to.

Your AfC submissions

I'm concerned about your quality of AfC reviewing. As I look at the AfC article alerts I see several articles up for AfD that were accepted by you. I've also participated in a number of AfDs myself recently, where several people have said "pinging Oo7565 who accepted this at AfC" to no response. I also know you declined Draft:Zella Jackson Price (my other half wrote it just before I went to work one morning, I didn't have time to fix it up myself but recommended she put it through AfC) - now we can have a debate about whether two entries in AllMusic, a mention in a book and three newspaper articles is acceptable, but a canned "it's not notable" summary isn't really helpful and doesn't give the submitter any idea of what to do next.

Please can you take some time out to read the core policies and guidelines that AfC relies on - notability, verifiability and suitability - you need to satisfy all three to think about passing a submission. Also pinging @DGG: as he has sent many of your reviewed submissions to AfD. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

  • Draft:Breckinridge Elkins (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I just wanted to see what the specific issues are with the article, or if it is just the need for more references. I am still working on citing further references and will document that as I can.

I was less clear about not meeting criteria for notability, as this is an article about a well-known fictional character (Breckinridge Elkins) by a prominent and popular author (Robert E. Howard), and the character is referenced in at least seven other current Wikipedia articles, including two that had "red links" to the as-yet nonexistent article about the character. Four of those articles had fewer references than the rejected article, and three of those are actually brief articles about books starring Breckinridge Elkins. It was odd to me that those three books would meet criteria for notability, but the main character did not.

While I have made minor edits in the past, this is my first attempt at the creation of a new Wikipedia article, so I am happy to have any constructive feedback you may have to offer to improve it.

Please stop

Please stop immediately in reviewing articles for AfC, and do not continue till you get an OK from some regular afc reviewer.

You are trying to do too many at a time, and consequently you are using unhelpful reasons, such as using the GNG criterion when more specific ones apply (such as Draft:Sabina Sakoh and Draft:Isamu Shiina); rejecting articles on the GNG although they would seem to be well referenced (such as Draft:Qake)--if the references are not suitable for notability the user needs a much fuller explanation; declining on the basis of the GNG articles that are in fact very adequately referenced and where there is an article in the deWP (such as Galerie Nächst St. Stephan); using the GNG template without comment where a fuller explanation is need (such as Draft:Ashley Dove-Jay); using the bare GNG when the article shows good references althouth it needs to be more fully developed before going into mainspace to avoid an otherwise inevitable AfD (such as Draft:Technomass); using the GNG when the main reason is promotionalism, even to the extent that a G11 is probably warranted (such as Draft:Norbert Dog), and so on.

It will take more experienced editors many hours to redo correctly the work which you did inadequately in a few minutes, and even longer to explain to the undoubtedly mystified users whose articles should have been accepted--some of those users may even never return to WP.

Please do not review NPP either--the same problems will likely apply there -- what you need to do now is to learn , by making good additions to existing article,

This is a request. But I think it fair to warn you that if you do continue, I shall need to take the steps to make it an official topic ban. In that case, it may also be necessary to temporarily block you to permit further damage until such a ban can be issued. DGG ( talk ) 16:10, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

As you can see, Oo7565, we have both been fielding requests from new users who are confused as to why you declined their submissions. You have created a lot of work that either somebody has to manage, or will be ignored, potentially disillusioning a newcomer who won't contribute anymore. I hope that impresses on you how serious the request is that you stop AfC work immediately. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:56, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

@The simplest: Oo7565 is on notice not to do any more AFC work. In the case of Draft:The Yarahmadzai tribe, a book search suggests that an article on the tribe is a worthy addition to Wikipedia. What you need at a minimum is a bit more detail about where exactly your sources of information are. From a quick look online, Tribe and State in Iran and Afghanistan seems to be a suitable source to use. Anything that's got a title, page number, publisher and an ISBN would be brilliant. List them at the bottom of the article, or if you are able, add them as in-line citations to statements. Once you have collected four or five good sources that give a detailed account of the tribe and its history, you should have no problems having the submission accepted.

22:32:54, 30 April 2015 review of submission by Eee 78

  • Draft:Anthony Morgan (comedian) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

It is not that I am seeking a re-review as such, but rather seeking more specific instructions on how I could change the article to have it submitted successfully. In terms of the notability of the subject, the newspaper articles I have referenced talk about his popularity in Australia where he was a regular on television and popular. I'm happy for the page to be edited if anyone has better sources than me. I think that part of the issue is that his peak in popularity was during a period where the internet barely existed. It probably also doesn't help that he's Australian and therefore not as well known as he may be if he was on American television. He would regularly sell out 2,000-3,000 seat venues during his peak. I understand that these things need to be verifiable and that my article may not be up to scratch, but for a first time attempt at editing a Wikipedia article, it's difficult to navigate the seemingly convoluted process (to the uninitiated like myself).

  • Draft:180Vita (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hey there,

I am trying to add 180Vita to wikipedia ( since it's the company that I am working for to be honest ) and I wanted to know what exactly was the problem and it got declined. Maybe if I can understand I can more easily fix it.

Most of the people in Wikidata and Wikipedia Live chat told me that they would accept that ( and I am talking about admins that took their time to read the page ).

One told me that the pages that I am putting as references are not that well-known.

We are a start-up company that actually achieved thousands of backlinks. The one I am adding in the Wikipedia page is from pages with the highest Authority in my industry.

Thanks in advance

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Oo7565,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

AfC acceptances and CSD

Hi, I just had to speedy deleted Episode-Choose Your Story, an AfC draft you accepted, as failing CSD G11. While there is nothing wrong with having a few AfC articles go to AfD (AfC is supposed to be more lightweight a review than NPP/AfD), typically the articles should not qualify for speedy deletion. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:30, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Additionally, another of your recently approved articles was also tagged for speedy deletion.Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 02:49, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Please, stop and engage Tony and Drew in conversation here. I am very concerned at your very high rate of edits (up to 8 a min) combined with the accuracy issues raised above. SQL^{Query me!} 02:54, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

I went ahead and deleted the other article that Drewmutt pointed out: a consensus had already developed at the AfD that it should be deleted, and there was explicit support from multiple editors in favour of speedy deletion. I agree with SQL that you should slow down. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:05, 17 January 2018

(UTI was proberly too earlyC)

• I need to reread what is unobrgius advantageing again, I think I might be getting confused on that. still no excuress of me accpeting those articles. On the Dean Blandino article, early on that but I knew he was head of nfl officals up untill end of 2017 season. would this article fall un Wp:Sports or WP:Footbll just curiours.

I will slow down I think i am going too fast on that note is there a list of editors on afc thast I can ask for an second oppenion on a articole or would it be acceptable to ask for an second oppeion useing the comment function on the article.? Oo7565 (talk) 03:31, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Removed from AfC

Hi, I have removed your access to the AFCH script due to the concerns expressed above and because you now appear to be tagbombing drafts with templates only intended for mainspace. If you wish to be restored to the AFCP list, you may make a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:51, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Please stop tagging drafts

You should know as well as anyone that maintenance tags aren't necessary for the Draft space - it's exactly why they're drafts.

You've been making what seems to be a lot of sill mistakes recently, including some rather unintelligible comments on drafts. I highly suggest you slow down. I'm all for second/third chances but I'm also not the only admin watching over the AFC project. Primefac (talk) 14:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
