Scorpions redirect
Scorpion is the general term, and that goes direct to the arthropod, as it should. Every single existing link (dozens of them) to Scorpions means the German band. Every article writer who linked to Scorpions thought they were linking to an article about the band. Not a single writer about any other type of scorpion was presented with a problem by this redirect. Colonies Chris 16:53, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- It is long standing Wikipedia precedent that plural versions of terms that have a Wikipedia article or disambiguation pages be re-directed to the primary term page. Besides, the frist 2 pages (19 listings) of Google search results for "scorpions" brings up 13 related to the arthropod and 6 are related to the German band. "Scorpions" is just as much of a general term with multiple meanings as "scorpion." [1] --Oakshade 17:38, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Oakshade,
I just wanted to let you know that I replied to your message at the above, and I'm genuinely keen to learn whether you think my interpretation is reasonable. It looks like the consensus is to keep the article, but I think this is worth discussing nevertheless. Best wishes, Jakew 21:52, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notice. I responded there too. --Oakshade 22:12, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi there; I have no more to say about this article or its deletion review. But I will just point out, as I have done on the review page, that it was not I who ultimately deleted the article, althoughj I was the penultimate person to do so. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:35, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
tavia yeung
Hi there! Sorry to bother you, I've just noticed your message concerning the link tavia.org at tavia yeung, please could you kindly adivse as I would like to add in the link and I don't understand why the other websites can be posted but this one can't. Thank you so much and sorry that i am not used to the wiki rules yet:) (Lissychan 17:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC))
- I think a link to a fan site is fine as long as its sole purpose is e-commerce (ie selling stuff). --Oakshade 21:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
You may write a new reliably-sourced draft on the talk page. My hands are tied by the ArbCom's decision in the Badlydrawnjeff case, which stated that BLP concerns needed to be kept from public view unless there was a clear consensus that all edits complied with that policy. The resulting procedure for AfDs reflects much compromise, and has been implemented before. One has five days to write a better draft for the AfD. Best wishes, Xoloz 02:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Can you please revisit this discussion. I have done some digging and have found that the street has a very prestigious history, which I have added to the article, including several references. I believe the page is now of a quality whereby it should be kept. -- Roleplayer 22:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:NFL_on_Fox_logo.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NFL_on_Fox_logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 02:12, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Cork Street deletion review
Hi, just wanted to give you the heads up that I have listed Cork Street for deletion review, based on the fact that no consensus was reached in the deletion discussion. I am writing this message to all contributors of the discussion, whether they voted keep or delete. -- Roleplayer 23:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
Tony Pierce
And the "GNAA" ref is supposed to tell me what, exactly?
In any case, if you want to waste the time, I've made a new nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony Pierce (actor).
Being an actor in Dances with Wolves and The Bodyguard is an assertion of notability.
- Yes, everyone remembers his groundbreaking roles as "Corporal Spivey" and "Dan". Wikipedia not being the Directory of Actors Who Probably Haven't Quit Their Day Jobs, this should have been speedied in the first place. --Calton | Talk 03:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
