VeganAdam

It looks like you've been reversing deletions for the editing of the veganadam organization. I'm a vegan and this is a very important organization in our community, does the article not demonstrate this? What can be done to improve the notability of the article?

I got started on this when I noticed this local station absent on a list of Georgia Radio Stations. Because I, like you, have a real life, I didn't get it finished right then. I hope to create a more complete stub in the next hour or so. --Blahblah29 (talk) 19:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to be pissy earlier--it seemed like I was gone for just two seconds, though it was several hours. I'm done for now, and I'll take the under construction tag off now. --Blahblah29 (talk) 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, not trying to say it actually abides by policy, but with the new wording of A7 (doesn't apply to controversial ones), stuff like that can't really be speedied if there's a debate on whether or not it has consensus notability. --Smashville^BONK! 20:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eyes Set to Kill

I searched google and found lots of pages dedicated to them. They also have official youtube videos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eyessettokillfan (talk • contribs) 17:09, January 7, 2008

The page does not satisfy all. Neither does several existing articles about other underground musical groups. I may perhaps have to neutralize and clean up the page. Eyessettokillfan (talk) 22:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Teen Resource Center

The user "brad" seems new to Wikipedia, so I thought i would give him a chance to explain himself, We should not bite newcomers, now should we?

I tried to explain to him what to do, before his first article is mercilessly removed. I am not particularly involved with the article, but it is my duty to help new wikipedians, do not you think?Λua∫Wi se ^(talk) 16:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is wrong there is no copywriting? ♥♦¢åŗđş♣♠ (talk) 19:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW - I think your taking this aticle to AFD was the right thing to do - there are clearly opposing views on the worthiness of it. Just because it seems the usual outcome I expect the result will most likely be delete but I hope to at least give the article a chance! Ros0709 (talk) 19:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Andrew Ogilvy

Hi, I really don't know a ton about what constitutes notability, and I don't really follow basketball. In case you asked because of my recent creations, the college football players I've been adding are all almost assured to be drafted in the 2008 NFL Draft - some even in the first round. So that's how I know they are notable enough. Sorry I can't be more help.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 18:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an appropriate speedy. A7 is not about notability - it's about high school kids making articles about themselves or other such vanity articles. The assertion that someone is a DI football or basketball player is itself an assertion of significance and if you believe it should be deleted, you should use the {{prod}} template or take it to WP:AFD if the prod is contested. --B (talk) 18:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Division I, the highest level of NCAA competition. Not all DI players are notable by any stretch of the imagination, but unless someone was doing something pointy like creating articles on every backup longsnapper in the Sun Belt Conference, it's not an obvious case and needs to go to AFD. Speedy deletion is only for obviously inappropriate articles that are indisputable. In the case of a major college football or basketball player, it's disputable. The longsnapper may not be notable and the walkon practice squad point guard may not be notable, but a starter for a major team is notable. So something like this needs to go to AFD if there's an issue. (In this case, there isn't - this player is clearly notable.) --B (talk) 18:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please help removing the deletion notice

I have impoved the article considerably, please help removing the deletion notice. 12.34.80.98 (talk) 08:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your comment to Djbj16 (talk · contribs)

Thank you for the suggestion. I noticed that you hope to be an administrator. So I would like to return the favor and make a suggestion for you. If you get your wish, I'd like to suggest that you break out of the mold that is prevalent among some (but not all) administrators: irrational tolerance of editors who have made more than a few edits and persistently fail not only to abide by Wikipedia's guidelines for a quality encyclopedia, but to even bother to read them. I think new editors should be given some flexibility. But editors who have been repeatedly warned and fail to make the feeblest attempt to comply result in a poor quality encyclopedia. So we end up with happy editors who continue to blunder (or bulldoze) their way through countless articles. That's why Wikipedia, although unparalleled in breadth and depth of coverage, is woefully inadequate when it comes to reliability and quality of many individual articles. The administrator system helps, but unfortunately doesn't help nearly enough. That having been said, best wishes in your attempt to be an administrator.

Regarding User_talk:Tube_bar

It should be noted that the user Tube bar is the previously banned user Stonic. You'll notice from his edit history he already started adding links again to that site. Likewise, he recently used Special:Contributions/4.153.59.194 to vandalize several pages with AtariAge references. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 05:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, you're not jumping the gun. I haven't done it yet because I've had dealings with this guy off of wikipedia, and he's basically a psychotic person that will go all out to get what he wants (including harassment and "shady" methods". You're seeing some of the early stages of this in the discussion. The second I get involved, it was escalate it in to a whole new level. I'll point you to the thread in the discussion forum of Digital Press, where he's posting as Stonic and documenting what he's all been doing here - www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112000 "the trouble with Wikipedia". I believe that also constitutes politicking, as he's trying to incite people to start up on Wikipedia. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 17:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting you know he registered another account now and was busy vandalizing pages and spamming digital press links again: Special:Contributions/Rockgardenmagic. You'll noticed he vandalized all AtariAge related links and AtariProtos links (which is run by a friend of the AtariAge guy). --Marty Goldberg (talk) 06:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And its done (for now). The sock puppet report was approved: Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Tube_bar, and the admins have taken it a step further and moved to blacklist the site he was spamming all together: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Blacklist.3F. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 02:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ludwig-Musser

I disagree with your edit because little else in the article establishes notability. Certianly the introductory paragraph does nothing in the respect. Perhaps something can be said in the intro that will help? - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 22:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that Ludwig's products are used by various famous musicians is speckled everywhere within the History section. Having a list violates WP:IINFO and WP:EMBED. Also, the list doesn't help establish notability due to it being a first-party source, which works against WP:ORG. Not that anyone should really doubt the notability of Ludwig anyways.--SeizureDog (talk) 22:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: "I tend to disagree with the notion that Lugwig is a name that is famous on its own merits"

I simply meant that it's unlikely to get deleted over notability. Of course the article should still establish itself.--SeizureDog (talk) 23:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:lolcat

No problem. I wouldn't worry too much about violating 3RR, if you check the history you'll see the other editors adding the link have already well and truly surpassed it.

Templating

I noticed you Templated Science apologist for being in an edit war. Any reason you chose not to template Levine2112? PouponOnToast (talk) 21:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For future reference, I find that people think more of your neutrality on issues like this if you either chose to write personalized messages, or template any and all without evaluating who did and did not violate 3rr. The template you used, {{uw-3rr}} does not require the user to be over 3rr, just to be engage in an edit war, which both of them obviouly were. I hope this advice will help you in the future. Have fun! PouponOnToast (talk) 21:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This action [1] appears to be disruptive.

Deletion of Molton Brown

Hi there, Thanks for the response, can you please explain why Molton Brown cannot have a stand alone page rather than linking to Kao? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheeky10 (talk • contribs) 10:12, February 4, 2008

Well, Cheeky10, it seems that your article creation was not in the correct/acceptable format, as was deemed to be advertising or spam. It may have been that it was simply too corporate-sounding and did not have the proper tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Kao Corporation, however, is the perfect place to cite verifiable, reliable secondary sources, and if the information about the company becomes significantly cumbersome to be contained within the Kao article, it can be broken out into its own article once again. But proper sourcing must be followed, and the information must indicate that the compnay is notable for inclusion into the Wikipedia encyclopedia. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 15:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User name

My name is not at all random, at least not any more than your name (WODUP). WODUP is not an English word but just looks like several random letters to me. I'm sure this isn't the case in regards to your name as the letters W, O, D, U, & P have some significance for you. Likewise my name, Askdnapn39nfkjfen, holds significance for me. Chalk it up to chaos theory, but order is usually found in seemingly randomness. the Ask-dna part should be obvious: I believe that we can learn a great deal about humans, both physically and psychologically by unlocking the secrets of human DNA, thus the Ask dna. The P & N are my initials, my age is 39, and the other letters are the first initials of my children. At first I tried to create a username that was a single English word but all my options were taken so I decided to be a little creative. I'm truly sorry if you thought my username is random, but as you can see, it simply is not. Askdnapn39nfkjfen (talk · contribs) 11:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Robert borsody

I was in the middle of using Twinkle to nominate Robert borsody for CSD:A7 because the original editor removed the copyrighted material when they saw my other CSD tag. I ended up on the original page, not the renamed page. It wasn't a manual nomination. I'm not sure how your renaming helps anything, but no harm done. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 19:07, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help with the Hengelo Bier page. Your contribution to Wikipedia is impressive.

Could you please revert the page title to Hengelo Bier, which is the official name in native Dutch, there is no such thing as Hengelo Beer.

Unhelpfulness = stressed editor?

While I understand that you might feel frustrated from time to time, edits like this are not helpful. If you don't like it here that much, you can always disappear. However, a good number of us would prefer that users with genuine knowledge, or at least access to information, learn the best practices of editing here and contribute effectively. If you're geniunely stressed, consider stepping away for a while so as not to get too emotionally invested in what is not worth your health or sanity.

Just a note in case you were confused by the bot repeatedly removing your report.
You were using {{user|Account1212}} instead of {{vandal|Account1212}}.
The bot doesn't recognize the user template as a report, so it interpreted your additions as comments tied to the reports above them. When the accounts above your report were blocked, your "comment" was automatically removed at the same time. --Onorem♠Dil 15:20, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

B.I.S.T.

Notability of BIST? If a State Board of Education is adopting a program on a state-wide level is not that notable in and of itself? The fact the this is happening in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, etc. makes it all the more so. As stated in the article (please reread since I am updating it) the BIST program affects the daily lives of thousands of educators, children and parents throughout the region. Unfortunately, independent outside resources are difficult to find.

Klondike Kalamity

Any chance we can hold off deleting the article on Klondike Kalamity? I know currently it's a little thin, but I am working on getting more info on its many productions, etc. I see you have no true article on old-time melodrama comedies per se, but in that admittedly narrow genre, it is very well known. Chances are, if someone talks about melly-drammers, they are picturing this play in their mind, although they may not know it by name.

Also, I'm realitively new to Wikipedia, so I may not being doing this exactly according to the guidebook, but I am trying to gather more info to flesh the article out.

Thank you.

Toledano Tradition

I did fill it out and saved it. Where did it go? I am not sure how to add it now:

This article is about Kabbalah. The name of the article, "Toledano Tradition", is a term used only in the books of one kabbalist, Warren Kenton and by his followers. The term is not used in any traditional works of Kabbalah, nor by any scholars of Kabbalah. The term "Toledano Tradition" is very closely tied to the books of Warren Kenton, and with no one else. The article also contains diagrams from Kenton's books. Given that, the article should have been directed at a discussion of that particular aspect of Kenton's teaching....if such an article is justified. Instead, much of this article, as it now is, just duplicates part of the history section that is already in the Kabbalah article [[4]].

Just what do I need to do to finish listing this AfD? I would appreciate some help because I really do not understand why there was a problem. Thanks. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 23:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed skins. Thanks for bring the re-creation history to out attention. Dsmdgold (talk) 15:58, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather have a full AfD for this page to be carried out. As an experienced editor I wouldn't have put it in Wikipedia if I didn't think there'd be a good chance of genuine notability.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 17:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wolfkeeper is wrong

the edit war over the jet engine is that my version (which I see youve changed back). Its states in wolfkeepers one that Von Ohain on the history section didnt have any idea about the jet engine when my source proves he did. the info he is getting of the web is outdated. Read this especially the NOTE section then please change my version back. Thanks mate. http://www.cwn.org.uk/heritage/people/whittle/biography.html Von Ohain DIDNT invent the jet engine as it shows he just made modifications to it. Please protect the page after. its just germans trying to take credit where it aint due. thanks i merely want the truth on wikepedia. its a great english invention and this is driving me crazy i dont know why. another new source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=500459&in_page_id=1770 See Ya J. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirjustinflames (talk • contribs) 17:45, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User page 76.244.162.118

Thank you for your comments and your invitation on the talk page. Your admin Bzuk seems to have contest with some of my posts, and continuously threatens to have me blocked. Mr. Bzuk seems to be trying to thwart progress with the issue of just what the 666 symbol in "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" might be. I have no idea why Mr. Bzuk would do this, but he seems to have singled me out to vent his hostility upon. Perhaps if you have an opinion on this 666 topic, you could post it on Mr. Deeds' Discussion page. Thank you.--75.55.39.225 (talk) 06:45, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete warnings

Thanks for your message about leaving users delete warnings. However, if you look at the times of the edits, I think you'll find that you have been a little hasty with me. I was in the process of leaving the user a welcome and a sd-copyvio warning AT THE SAME TIME THAT YOU WERE - I got an edit conflict! Next time, please give me a little more time to make my edits before slapping me on the wrists. But thanks for making sure that the user was welcomed etc. Cheers. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 17:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Time to take a break?"

And yet, you do not warn Anthon01 to "comment on the contributions and not the contributors" even though the whole matter was instigated by him butting into another person's talk page with the comment "Randy is unwilling to accept community input on this matter. He has been warned repeatedly and appears to believe his POV on homeopathy confers upon him the right to be uncivil. What is the next step?" As usual, it appears that only pro-reality, pro-science people who can think straight are subject to the rules on civility, ad hominem attacks, and assuming good faith, while insane religious cultists such as Anthon01 (and, undoubtedly due to your weird and double-standard-laden interest in this matter, yourself) can post whatever they please without consequence. In the 1 time out of 500 that one of their comments exactly equivalent to mine actually does get sanctioned, they have it almost immediately reverted by one of their pocket administrators--in fact, they get a "barnstar" for their heroic efforts at killing people with fake medicine. A wonderful "encyclopedia" you guys have going here--what is your ultimate goal after all the sane people are run out on a rail? Do you think that by evangelizing for homeopathy, herbalism, creationism, and all the other nonsense, you will convert people? Do you think anyone respects Wikipedia? Everyone with a shred of intelligence knows that this website is a circle-jerk, a game, and a dumping ground for autistic obsessives to talk about Japanese cartoons. You aren't going to accomplish anything more than converting idiots, which you could have done anyway. Randy Blackamoor (talk) 21:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, nor do I want to get neck-deep in debates. As long as you conduct yourself with civility here, you have all the leverage in the world to make your case against uncivil behaviors and poor/deceitful editing practices. Just because someone else is in a tizzy or a holy war for this side or that in any given subject doesn't mean that you have to get sucked into the same vitriolic exchanges. It can, in fact, do you actual real physical harm to allow yourself to get so emotionally invested in such wasteful drivel. Can I recommend doing more maintenance-related tasks or abstaining altogether from Wikipedia? I've found such a philsoophy to be surprisingly beneficial for my own peace of mind.

Just some (hopefully) useful thoughts for you. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 21:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching the vandalism attempts at my talk page today. Strange how they'd come out of the woodwork a good three weeks later to vandalize the page. Anyway, the help is appreciated. Thanks! DJBullfish 23:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Randy's talk page

Look—Randy clearly doesn't want advice – sensible though it may be – from you. Please stop offering it.

For what it's worth, I do sympathize with him that there has been a habit on the part of some of his opponents to goad him into precipitate action using civility warning templates, and I can understand how he might see your warnings as more of the same (however good your intentions might be).

This has escalated beyond the stage where 'friendly' warnings from his (perceived) opponents are likely to help anything; indeed, such warnings are likely to inflame. If you have further concerns about Randy's conduct, take them to a neutral third party (as on WP:AN/I) if intervention is required. Please don't add any more advice to his talk page when you're clearly not welcome there. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 16:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right in your comment that your comment was "clearly...not helping". You'd best withdraw it, or I'm likely to block you for continuing to poke Randy. I dont find it credible that you would be fool enough not to know that your comment wasn't a good idea. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 16:57, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:CANVAS. I only point this out because I did the same thing once (inviting a handful of other editors to review an AfD) and was directed to this guideline. (Note: nothing but good faith assumed or implied) —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 16:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas R. Carter

I felt he was notable, but after research, couldn't find enough individual notability, so I merged with Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz. Thought you'd like to know. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 19:13, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. Actually, you came to the same conclusion as i did; The user created three pages, where two were about the person, and one was about the institute he represents. Since the non profit organisation was more or less compliant to WP:Corp guidelines (Save for the references, but with non profit im lenient) i just tagged the two persons. But this merge is a better solution. Nice work doing so, and even better work on sourcing it :). Excirial^{(Talk,Contribs)} 19:18, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Subtle Notability?

I saw you changed the CSD to a Prod tag on Big Mama's Meatloaf Shack, but I failed to see the subtle notability you were talking about. There didn't seem to be any notability claimed or referenced in the article. Must have been pretty subtle, since I missed it :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildthing61476 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of psychobilly bands

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the purpose of the red link to encourage people to write the article? Perhaps the sort of people who would visit this page would know about psychobilly bands and add information about a band they're passionate about. I would argue that a group like Koffin Kats, for example, is pretty notable as far as the current psycho scene goes; they have over 29,000 myspace friends — the legendary Meteors only have about 3,500. I simply haven't gotten around to writing their article yet, although I did create two other band articles yesterday. Would you like to help me?

As far as wiki standards on notability, the guide you linked me to seems to concern band articles themselves and not redlinking to them. Perhaps I missed something in it. Either way, if you come across an actual article on a band that is in no way notable, I encourage you to nominate it for deletion.

I admire your interest in this article but it was a mess when I got to it yesterday: headers with no information under them, and probably a third of the article links took the user to pages that weren't about the bands. The link for Deadbolt took me to the article on door locks. The ratio of red-to-blue links is not the sole indicator of how clean an article is, or whether it conforms to wiki standards.

--Emceelane (talk) 19:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you intend to create these articles? List articles here on Wikipedia, especially music-related or other possible targets for self-promotion, are often filled with redlinks that will never succeed as real articles. If you have an interest in creating articles to address those redlinks for psychobilly bands, please read Wikipedia:Notability (music) carefully to make certain that your subjects have sufficient notability to with stand speedy deletion, prods, or nominations for AFD. But don't just create an article without this information so that the link won't be red. This would not be sufficient and would easily get deleted.

You may wish to join WikiProject Music so that people will know you are a serious and active editor in this category.

Some other bands will create an external link (that looks like this), linking to their own site, a MySpace page, or similar, so that it doesn't immediately jump out at you that it is not a real article. This is 99.9999999999% always unacceptable.

I hope this addresses your concerns. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 20:42, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

College of Chinese Physical Culture - deletion

Hi,

I can't believe you've deleted the page! Not only did it take me ages, but I thought it looked quite good!

Getting to the real nitty-gritty, the CCPC is a charity, just as in the same way as RSPCA, so why delete.

They do not charge for their services, are a cultural magnet in many inner city areas of the UK that offer extensive volunteering to underpriveleged youngsters, keeping them active and focused, as well as off the streets.

They have recently received funding from the V Commission, and are desperating trying to spread the word. If the RSPCA can do it, why can't they?!

And more than that, participants in this art (which dates back over 3,000 years) have long enjoyed significant physical and mental health benefits from their involvement.

This is so closely linked to all of your other Chinese movement and dance pages, from Lishi to wushu, kung fu, marshal arts and more, so I'm amazed it has been deleted.

I even put the charity number on the page.

Please reconsider if, for nothing else, for the good work that they do in communities the length and breadth of the country from Edinburgh to London.

James
