so sorry

My article about Eloisa needs you or any other user to contribute in order for it to become more interesting. Eloisa is a recognized woman, and since she is, she must be in WIKIPEDIA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Petronasalicante (talk • contribs) 23:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Badminton Victoria State Pennant

Hi, this article seems to be back - Badminton Victoria State Pennant. Is it much the same as when you nominated it earlier? I don't want to tag it if the author is making some effort at improvement. Cheers Kevin (talk) 02:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I have actually nominated it for deletion as a resurrected article. It would need to have an impressive amount of information to be acceptable after being deleted once. Player 03 (talk) 03:23, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It probably would have been better to use the same criteria A7 you did originally. WP:CSD#G4 doesn't apply to articles that were speedy deleted, only those deleted after a community consensus. Still, the result is the same. There's another of his/her articles on my watchlist somewhere that hasn't improved either. I guess that's next. Kevin (talk) 04:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You have a point there. I'm still a little inexperienced with judging new articles and especially with selecting appropriate tags. I'm learning a few things, though, and hopefully I'll make better choices in the future (and avoid things like the incident above). Player 03 (talk) 04:18, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I think an incident is when you tag the main page as a copyvio, or something like that. Kevin (talk) 04:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Non-dropframe (talk) 20:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I was not the author of the article. I added that deletion tag in the first place. Player 03 (talk) 20:36, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for my mistake. --Non-dropframe (talk) 20:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Lil T

Before you remove tags you deem inappropriate, you may want to read through the article and see that, while the article claims he started his career in 2008, he already claims to have been associated with Leonardo DiCaprio and had a drug addiction problem. Sounds like he copy and pasted his biography from someone else's to me. ;) Redfarmer (talk) 02:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, I would personally consider that to be nonsense rather than vandalism. Also, I was removing the tag to place what I considered a more accurate one. Either way, the article was deleted. Player 03 (talk) 02:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Not to press the issue, but the deleting admin agreed with me apparently. Just be careful removing other people's tags if they are appropriate. There's many times that an article could technically be deleted for several different reasons. In this case, the best reason is that it was a hoax. Redfarmer (talk) 02:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I'll try not to do that any more. Thanks for informing me. Player 03 (talk) 03:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Major suburb.

Hi there, You've tagged Kushaiguda for notability. Let me bring this to your notice that its one of the major suburbs just like the ones in its category. I can't understand the basis for tagging article with due research. I've done it by my first hand knowledge of Hyderabad. And contribute heavily on Wikipedia, so i know, and i don't contribute irrelevant articles. Cheers!Randhirreddy 15:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyright violation tag on Higher education in Canada

Hi, I checked into the details on this and believe the situation was merely a rookie mistake. The content that you tagged was removed before I created the stub for the article and was not put back in... the formatting looks similar but it's different from the historical content now in the article. The current version of this article is generally cited appropriately for Start-Class and I don't think the copyright violation tag applies. If possible, please let me know if you agree or disagree. In addition, I've added a discussion thread on the article's talk page to resolve copyright concerns. Adhe536ontario2008 (talk) 18:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Walburn Family

There isn't a lot of info out there about this family of encryptors. If I didn't put enought info out maybe others can help out. Maybe this should be a stub article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hkuykend (talk • contribs) 23:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

In order to get your article to stay, the most important thing to do is establish that what you're writing about is notable enough to have its own article. Per the general notability guideline, you need to show that it has received significant attention in noteworthy sources (newspapers and magazines generally count, but not blogs). Hopefully that helps. Player 03 (talk) 02:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Removing Speedy tags

Please review the CSD page again. It very clearly states that, in terms of general reasons, "These apply to all namespaces (and so apply to articles, user pages, talk pages, files, etc)." 98.248.33.198 (talk) 04:10, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

It looks like you're right. Oops. Player 03 (talk) 04:51, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

No prob. It's not possible to remember every nuance of the thousands of policies, guidelines, essays and style suggestions. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 05:24, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:52, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
