Sorry, I thought that the nobility tag was a proposed deletion. They look quite similar. [[User:Dinosaur puppy|T REX]][[User talk:Dinosaur puppy|speak]] 00:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

== [[Janice Neuberger]] ==

I've removed your speedy deletion notice from the [[Janice Neuberger]] article, since the article clearly does assert notability. I'd suggest you might want to use [[WP:AFD|AfD]] instead. Best, [[User:Gwernol|Gwernol]] 14:28, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

== [[Marie St. Fleur]] ==
Hey there. You recently tagged the above article as needing citations. I had fleshed it out to save it from Afd -- I've now gone back and sourced it (I believe) properly. Can you go take a look and either give me some feedback on the way I sourced it or, if you're comfortable with the job I've done, remove the tag? I'd remove it myself, but I'd prefer a second opinion. Cheers [[User:Dina|Dina]] 19:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
* Hi. Looks great to me. I'd still like to see a reference for the 'personal life and education' section, but I think the unsourced tag is no longer warranted generally, so I've removed it. I also modified the referenced articles so that each only shows up once in the 'references' section. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 01:40, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
::Awesome, thanks. I'll check your changes to see how it's done. I should be able to reference the personal life and education section better -- I want to find an article about when she was first elected, it should contain all that info, but most are about the recent controversy. Thanks [[User:Dina|Dina]] 02:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

i believe i have met every criteria for this article. yes, it is not stock full of info, but the company is young. i am not advertising, i think this is as unbias as it gets. there are other airline pages that are just as short. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varig_Logistica so, if there are any other issues, comment on my page [[User:Urban909|Urban909]]

you still have YET TO GIVE AN EXPLANATION FOR DELETION. give tips, hints or whatever else is needed to keep this article open. i have NEVER had this much problem creating a page. WRITE BACK!

== ZIM Debate ==

Sorry for being a jerk. I'm clearly new to wikipedia. Educate me. Don't you think that instead of deleting the article, it just needs to be rewritten in a more passive way? ZIM really is legit, it's just that it's not big on the internet and the article posted seems like an advertisement. I've tried to clean up the deletion debate page a little bit, and I think it will bring the debate back to order and fairness. Check out what I did. From: [[User:Zx2c4|ZX2C4]].

Hello, please review the criteria for speedy deletion at [[WP:SPEEDY]] before tagging articles. You have tagged some for speedy deletion because of being non-notable - that is not a reason.

==Removed [[Unit 4 2]] Speedy Deletion Tag==
Your placement of a speedy deletion tag was without merit on a band that had a two week #1 hit. Your stupulation that it did "''not assert'' the ''importance'' or significance of the subject" is a direct contradiction the article line "was a British band which had a #1 hit." I have removed the tag.

You should be reminded that criteria for [[WP:CSD]] states that '''"only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered"'''. Please don't tag articles for Speedy Deletion that don't fit the crieteria for it. Thank you. --[[User:Marriedtofilm|Marriedtofilm]] 23:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

==Explanation (re: [[Fiona Mont]])==

I see that you have completely changed the contents of my page at Fiona Mont again. I have tried to communicate with you to discuss what your problems are. Fiona was not expelled from school, you have just copied an article from the Daily Mail and used it to replace a very well balanced biography of her life. You have also removed totally checkable links which I put there to confirm all the facts. Communication would be very helpful and in some detail, it would be polite seeing as you have deleted all of my work. Comments from editors are always welcome but a total re-ed followed by silence? Graham Hesketh
* First, thanks for the note. Here are my thoughts on the subject.
* While the text you would like to use for this article may be, as you say, a 'balanced biography of her life', most of it - the biographical information in particular - is unsupported by [[WP:RS|reliable secondary sources]]. By Wikipedia policy concerning biographies of living persons (see [[WP:LIVING]]), material that is not [[WP:V|verifiable]] via such secondary sources should not be added to articles and should be 'removed on sight'.
* As to the particulars of the article, I have seen published sources that state that Ms. Mont was expelled from school, but I have not seen any that contradict that claim.
* About the 'checkable links', I did read all of them, and I did move some around, but I don't believe I removed any of references to reliable secondary sources. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 22:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Most of the changes seems to be from the first hand accounts of Graham Hesketh - Wikipedia is not interested in truth but verifiability. So yes I agree with your stand in this matter. --[[User:Charlesknight|Charlesknight]] 22:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

No-one is going to make more of a stand over my life than me. I am Fiona Mont. Graham's article may sound unbalanced to you but it is all true. I was not expelled from school. School records are not available for public consumption but if it came to a law suit I would provide documentary evidence. It was a lie published about a fugitive, not a person who is in any position to defend themselves. My arresting officer was arrested for perverting the course of justice, once again police files are not public record, however there was a newspaper report which is available on hard copy only and a copy of this is available on my website. As the living subject of this article I am going to make it my business to make sure that a balanced article is published. I am making a request that you please stop re-editing the page with defamatory quotes from newspapers. Graham and I were married on the 2nd Oct and we do have two children. As for the comment wikipedia is not interested in the truth........ [[User:Fiona-Mont|Fiona-Mont]] 23:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

==Fiona Mont==

I was not expelled from school. Steve Skerrett was arrested for conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and now runs a private detective agency called Giotto Investigations. As I am the living subject in this matter I am going to have to go to mediator on this. [[User:Fiona-Mont|Fiona-Mont]] 16:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Have been reading up on reliable third party sources and am continuing to. Just wanted to say thank you very much for your initial re-edit.

Will post suggestions on talk if I find any reliable sources to support my claims etc. [[User:Fiona-Mont|Fiona-Mont]] 18:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Extending a prod ==
There is no policy justification, other than to say that prods may be removed at will by anyone, and ''a fortiori'' a two day extenstion is fine. It's not like I hid my purpose or anything: I asked on lv:wiki, received my answer, and am not objecting to deletion. As a matter of fact, let me go and delete it right now. There, done.

== [[Stephanie Rothman]] ==
Stephanie Rothman easily satisfies WP:BIO as a very notable director of horror and exploitation films. The IMDB reference in the article alone confirms this. If you don't agree, send to AfD.

== [[Olga Lopes-Seale]] ==
Can you explain why you inserted {{tl|notability}}. Isn't a knighthood evidence of notability? [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 13:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
* Well, a) I didn't see anything about a knighthood, and b) I don't see knighthood listed as a criterion in [[WP:BIO]]. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 20:58, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

:"'' I didn't see anything about a knighthood''" - first word of the article, and last line before the references. Should have been hard to miss.
:"''I don't see knighthood listed as a criterion in [[WP:BIO]]''" - true, but then one would think that "receiving your country's highest national honour" would be too obvious to mention. In addition, if you are going by WP:BIO, then you should have been aware of the first listed criterion, "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person". Or did you also miss the references? [[User:Guettarda|Guettarda]] 21:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Please note that a) I have restored the copyright explanation on the [[Gladys Swarthout]] article, and b) I have ''removed'' the notability tag.

B should be obvious; A is because of the problems we recently had with Daniel Brandt and his Plagiarism Detector Bot. Furthermore, the statement on the talk page did not go into enough detail as to the provenance and the legal issues. [[User:DragonflySixtyseven|DS]] 05:15, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

== Ashley Slanina-Davies ==

Hi, I see you tagged the above article as a speedy candidate as a non-notable bio. Please be aware that the criterion in question, A7, states:
<blockquote>Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. If the assertion is controversial or there has been a previous AfD, the article should be nominated for AfD instead.</blockquote>

Starring in the soap opera Hollyoaks '''is''' an assertion of notability, importance or significance. Articles which contain such claims should not be listed as speedy candidates, but rather the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion]] or [[WP:AFD|full deletion]] methods should be used. [[User:Steve block|Steve block]] [[User talk:Steve block|Talk]] 23:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
* Having a role in a television show is an assertion of having a job, not having notability. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 21:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
**No, it's an assertion of importance or significance. Otherwise you may as well just say that having won a nobel prize is an assertion of having won an award, not having notability. You may feel the claim is controversial, but that means the article cannot be speedied. [[User:Steve block|Steve block]] [[User talk:Steve block|Talk]] 21:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
*** Apples and oranges. Winning an Oscar and winning a nobel prize would be a better comparison/analogy. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 21:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
****Maybe apples and oranges to you, but that's not the point. The point remains that appearing in a television show upon which we have an article imparts significance. That sch assertions qualify as assertions of significance was established when the criterion was proposed. You may contest that, but the assertion has been made. Where such an assertion is made, please take it to prod or afd, not speedy. Thanks. [[User:Steve block|Steve block]] [[User talk:Steve block|Talk]] 21:53, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

==[[Carol J. Clover]]==

Hi Valrith,

I agree with you that the article needs a lot more work/it is a stub. What separates Carol from "the average college professor" is that she wrote a book which not only achieved popularity outside academia, but that it contained a theory which is in itself notable. There is already a wiki article specifically about her theory--the [[final girl]].

You recently prodded this article under [[WP:BIO]].

== re: [[:Category:Date of birth missing]] ==

Good evening. Per the discussion about privacy concerns expressed at [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays]], date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.

By the same token, we should not be adding [[:Category:Date of birth missing]] to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. [[:Category:Year of birth missing]] is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. [[User:Rossami|Rossami]] [[User talk:Rossami|(talk)]] 22:44, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

* Interesting. However, it seems to me that anyone notable enough to have an article in an encyclopedia is a "public figure". I will keep using this category as long as it exists. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 19:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
** Unfortunately, our experience has shown that not to be the case. Many people are notable for a single achievement but do not meet the definition of "public figure". [[WP:BLP]] requires us to use extra caution for living persons. Public figures in this sense mean those who are so famous that they can be assumed to have other controls and protections in place (such as paid staff who can watch out for identity theft being executed in their name). That would not generally be the case for an author of a single book or person with a minor league sports career. Please stop.

So far, that policy has been interpreted fairly strictly with a pretty high bar being set for the definition of "public figures" who are assumed to have given up their rights to privacy.

By the same token, we should not be adding [[:Category:Date of birth missing]] to articles unless we have made the case that the person meets the "public figures" threshold. Otherwise, we're just baiting new users into adding content even though the community has already said that we shouldn't include that particular data point. [[:Category:Year of birth missing]] is okay but the exact date is often not. Thanks for your help. [[User:Rossami|Rossami]] [[User talk:Rossami|(talk)]] 02:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

== "bot vandalism"? ==
Those edits were certainly not "vandalism". See the discussion at [[WT:CAT]] for the basis for these retaggings -- and aside from which, try [[WP:AGF|assuming good faith]]. [[User:Alai|Alai]] 21:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
* My thought was that the bot was malfunctioning by replacing the specific 'uncat' stub with the non-specific 'uncatstub' stub. I wouldn't have considered applying AGF to a malfunction. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 21:36, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
**I'm not sure I quite follow the specifics of that, but thanks for the reply. If you think a bot is malfunctioning, much better to inform the operator about the behaviour so it can be amended (or explained), rather than just reverting. By no stretch is a "malfunction" the same as "vandalism", which specifically connotes ''intention'' to make worse; mislabelling questionable (or indeed outright unintentionally bad) edits as vandalism is not good practice, since it's apt to needlessly escalate any disputes that are in progress, or in fact start them in the first place. [[User:Alai|Alai]] 21:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

== Your changes to the Susan Powers page ==

Please take the time to read the page, or even Rossami's entry one above in here.

1. "This biographical article needs more biographical information on the subject.
Statistical information such as date and place of birth, information on historical significance, and information on accomplishments is desired. Please remove this message when done."
-- The article includes year and place of birth. See Rossami's comment two above on date of birth, and [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Privacy of birthdays]], date of birth should generally not be added to the biographies of living non-public or semi-public figures. The article also contains numerous references to accomplishments. The fact that Ms. Powers is one of the most reknown American folk artists, in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution and AMuseum of American Folk Art, among others, is proof enough.

2. "There are very few or no other articles that link to this one.
Please help introduce links in articles on related topics. After links have been created, remove this message.
This article has been tagged since November 2006."
-- There are fourteen (14) internal and extenral links in the article. That is sufficient to address the requirments in Help:Link, I believe.

Thank you. [[User:EHS|EHS]] 14:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

* Since you disagree with the "cleanup-bio" tag, I won't dispute it, but it still seems to me there's very little biographical information in this biography. I never disputed her notability. As to birth date/year - whatever. I overlooked the fact that the year/place was given because it was placed abnormally. I've now fixed that.

* However, the "linkless" tag is still appropriate. Notice the text says "There are very few or no other articles that link '''to''' this one". It has nothing to do with the number of links within the article. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 15:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

==[[Cause marketing]] article - Thanks==

Thanks for stopping by to make some additions. I barely got started last night so I have more that I am going to try to add in the next few days to make it a fuller and wikified article (with references). [[User:Uberveritas|Uberveritas]] 22:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types]] instead of using simply <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>, if you can.

I've pulled down an extensive rewrite, and I think I have covered all the issues that people had with the article. Olson has been noted as writing an historically valuable book, her film has received good reviews and three awards, as well as having cultural impact with regards the Golden Gate Bridge, whilst her roles as a festival curator and founder, website founder and maintainer, collector and her importance to her field have all been established through verifiable citations in reliable sources. I would hope that's enough substance to satisfy any notability concerns. Appreciate your further thoughts on the article at the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jenni Olson|afd]].

What you might want to do is put the same question you put to me on the [[Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance)]] page and see what kind of feedback you get there.

== [[Daniele Buetti]] ==

I have removed the {{tl|prod}} tag from [[Daniele Buetti]], which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{tl|prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]]. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{tl|prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]]. Thanks!

==Photos as original research==
What do you mean "photos are not reliable sources and do not provide any verifiability"? Neither the policy on "reliable sources" or "verifiability" mentions photos. Both on these images referred to in [[handbra]] are extremely well known if not iconic, so they provide verifiable evidence of the phenomena's prevalence.

Hi, I do not know why you removed the quotation. Do you believe it is irrelevant, or are you worried about its copyright status?

== WP:ADOPT ==

Hi there,

As a current Adopter with the [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User|Adopt-a-User]] program there has been some ongoing developments that we would like to bring to your attention.

A new [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adopter's Area|Adopter's Area]] has been created where you can find useful [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adopter's Area/Resources|resources]] and other Adopter's [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adopter's Area/Experiences|experiences]]. Please feel free to add any resources you may have found useful as an Adopter, as well as recount any experiences that you think may help others. If you know of any useful resources for new users / Adoptees then you can add them [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adopter's Area/Resources|here]].

Also the way the adoption process works has changed slightly. To decrease workload at [[:Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user]], on offering adoption please change the '''<nowiki>{{Adoptme}}</nowiki>''' template to '''<nowiki>{{Adoptoffer}}</nowiki>''' on the user's user page, and this will add the user to [[:Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption]]. Users that have already been offered adoption can always have a second or third offer, but by separating out those users that have not had an adoption offer yet, it is hoped that no one will go lacking.

Furthermore numerous Adopters have been adding their details to a [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters|list of users available for adopting]], to offer a more personalised service and allow new users to browse through and pick their own Adopter. The quickest way to adopt though, is still to contact users at the [[:Category:Wikipedians seeking to be adopted in Adopt-a-user]].

Finally - thanks for all your hard work, keep it up - and if you have any general questions or suggestions about the further development of [[Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User]] please bring them to our [[Wikipedia talk:Adopt-a-User|talk page.]] Cheers [[User talk:Lethaniol|Lethaniol]] 14:06, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

==Unsourced tag==
It would be VERY helpful and benificial to state within talk pages to clarify exactly what in the article needs sourcing. Simply placing unsourced tags says nothing on what needs to be improved or sourced. --[[User:Dysepsion|† Ðy§ep§ion †]] [[User_talk:Dysepsion|Speak your mind]] 04:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
* Most of the unsourced tags I place are due to the article being '''entirely''' unsourced, where no clarification is needed. If you have a specific counter-example, please point it out. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 04:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
**The [[Jenna Haze]] article, for example has at least 3 references, so how are other editors suppose to know what exactly you are referring to that needs clarification? Are other editors suppose to verify every single sentence in the article? Of course clarification is needed. If anything "citation needed" tags are more appropriate rather than placing a broad generalization that maybe confusing--[[User:Dysepsion|† Ðy§ep§ion †]] [[User_talk:Dysepsion|Speak your mind]] 05:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

==Re: Jessica Alba (rm cat - no evidence she's "half Mexican")==
Next time, take two seconds to read the second paragraph of the article. [[User:Crumbsucker|Crumbsucker]] 01:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
* I'm well aware of the second paragraph. What it says is that she's of Mexican descent. For the slow, that means she has '''some''' Mexican ancestry; it doesn't say how much. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 21:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
** The article very clearly states that Alba's father is Mexican(with three sources given). Alba has discussed her ethnicity in the media several times and indentifies herself as latino. Again, read first before doing needless reverts/deletions. [[User:Crumbsucker|Crumbsucker]] 01:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
*** Actually, the article states only that her father is of Mexican descent, which is not the same thing. Since the three sources you mention do indeed state he is Mexican, the article should probably be changed to reflect that... [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 21:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

==Question==
I am trying to nominate [[List_of_big-bust_models_and_performers|List of big-bust models and performers]] for deletion. when i try to create the afd discussion page, i click on the ''this articles entry'' and it goes to a previous afd discussion. how do i create a new afd discussion page for this?[[User:Missy1234|Missy1234]] 17:58, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
* You just have to change the title of the article from the default of [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_big-bust_models_and_performers]], which already exists, to something else that doesn't already exist. The usual practice is to do something like [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_big-bust_models_and_performers (2nd nomination)]]. Then, of course, you'd have to modify the template placed on the original article to point to the correct/new AfD page. HTH [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 21:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== Any particular reason you keep tagging the [[Jackass: The Game]] article? ==
I'll be removing the tag once more. The game is pretty much inherently notable for being a licensed game based on the television show and movies, much the same as it would be if there was a game based on any number of other Hollywood movies which scored big at the box office. Both [[Jackass: The Movie]] and it's sequel [[Jackass Number Two]] scored huge at the box office, taking the top earnings on the weekends they debuted, let alone the TV series (which was large enough that pretty much every member of the main cast got their own spinoff shows). If you'd like to discuss this further, please see the Talk page. [[User:Lankybugger|Cheers, Lankybugger]] 01:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
* Even if I were to assume/agree that the movie is notable, notability is not transferrable, ie. the game would not be automatically notable because of the movie. I don't believe the game is of any note, and that is why I placed the notability tag on its article. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 05:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

== I feel beaten up ==
Hi. I just need to kvetch. I hope you won't mind since it isn't directed at you. Rightly or wrongly, since Wikipedia goes with documentable sources, I have gone and edited, added, reword various articles. I then feel beaten up with negative comments by certain users, but especially from one who prefers to do majority of edits as an anonymous user. I try to place positive rebuttles, but its spiral down the tubes. Under normal circumstances, I would ask for a block, but in this case, I really '''don't''' want this person, even as an anonymous user, be blocked... I just want a positive conversation on how to make certain articles 1) fit [[WP:MOS|the style]] and 2) be from [[NPOV]]. Thanks for taking a moment to read my venting. [[User:CJLippert|CJLippert]] 02:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
* I understand your frustration. The only help I can offer is to say that I've been impressed with the cleanup you've done on several articles I noticed. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 05:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

== [[Anjali kara]] ==
Your tagging of the subject article for speedy deletion was inappropriate and mean-spirited. The author had just recently created that article (within the past day or two). If you felt the article unworthy, the civil thing to do would have been to give the author a chance to improve it, but you didn't. Judging from the preceding comments on this page, it is apparent that you make a habit of knee-jerk tagging of articles without bothering to investigate whether the tags you liberally sprinkle around are warranted. [[User:209.251.23.53|209.251.23.53]] 09:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
* There is nothing uncivil about tagging an article for deletion, especially when it is as clearly warranted as was the case with [[Anjali kara]]. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 20:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
** The author of that article had just created it THAT DAY. You tagged it and it was deleted. You also did not possess the courtesy to tell the author on their talk page what you had done. Since the author is probably not on wikipedia 24/7, he/she had no chance to improve the article or prove its worthiness before it vanished. Why don't you try '''contributing''' some content once in awhile rather than exlusively finding fault with what others have written. I suspect that once you actually add something to a page that doesn't reside between <nowiki>{{</nowiki> and <nowiki>}}</nowiki> you might develop a '''collaborative''' attitude rather than envisioning yourself as everyone's superior. [[User:209.251.23.146|209.251.23.146]] 05:27, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
*** Someone who has never contributed '''anything''' ([[Special:Contributions/209.251.23.146]]) has neither the right nor credibility to criticize. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 22:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have '''feedback''' on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on [[User_talk:SuggestBot|SuggestBot's talk page]]. Thanks from [[User:ForteTuba|ForteTuba]], SuggestBot's caretaker.

I have reverted the page back. I think based on the new information and his work with [[God, Inc.]], that a new AfD is warranted if you think he is not notable (also, a redirect no longer makes sense because he has multiple works).

==Vandalism==
The only information that I removed from the [[Kentucky Wildcats]] page was the inappropriate tone tag and the banned 1952-53 team fromt the "memorable teams" section (since, technically, it didn't play that year, though it did just now lead me to correct the year of the Undefeated Team). If those were the problems, then I apologize. Other than that, I have only added information to the article. --[[User:147.133.217.56|147.133.217.56]] 15:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

The article was, in fact, speediable, as it makes no claim to the subject's significance. Neverthelees, a chance was given to provide reason for keeping it. No improvements have been made to the article (which is also poorly weritten and presented), nothing has been said at the Talk page — all we have is the anon's edit summary that simply points out that there are articles on other weather forecasters; that isn't grounds for removing the template, surely. Please don't remove it again wiothout doing ''something'' to justify this.

:I don't know much about them, it's true (I dislike them in fact, and never use them; they seem to me to provide no more than a pointless level of bureacracy between speedying and AfDing.

* Wikipedia requires that articles be [[WP:V|verifiable]] via [[WP:RS|reliable secondary sources]]. When adding material to an article, you should [[WP:CITE|cite]] the sources that provided the material. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 04:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, I can understand that. The hard part is that I'm trying not to make it sound too ad-like as to have its neutrality debated again. A lot of the format and styles were copied from the other database company pages like MySQL, Sybase, Oracle.

In the history section, I don't know how to make this verifiable. Similarly, when looking at MySQL's page, theirs seems unverifiable as well. I know these things not from original research, but because I was one of the first employees, know the founders, and know the story.

Another difficult item is the timeline/history... how would I go about making that verifiable without linking to press-releases?

Sorry for the difficulty on this. I guess I just need to understand the rules better. I completely understand where you're coming from in terms of ensuring reliability of the information. Thank you for your continued assistance. {{unsigned2|13:01, February 2, 2007|Jonah.harris}}
* As to the question of establishing verifiable sources other than press releases, that's probably going to be difficult. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 21:39, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

So, I'm a bit confused. The page is contested for not being neutral, yet the only way to prove the information is to link to, what some would consider, biased press releases? I'll be happy to link to them if it means an updated page will be approved... but it's pretty ugly to have its neutrality in question. {{unsigned2|06:21, February 5, 2007|Jonah.harris}}

Please do not restore prod tags to articles after they have been removed. If you look at [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion]] especially the section called [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion#Conflicts|Conflicts]] you will see that the tag should not be restored no matter what.

* Well I can understand why Valrith restored the prod tag to the article as it was (and still is) rather sketchy. So I'm going to escalate it to a full AFD debate. [[User:Tabercil|Tabercil]] 22:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

==Brandon Buddy/AfD==
Hi, I just recreated a page for [[Brandon Buddy]] ([[Cole Thornhart]]) of ''[[One Life to Live]]'', which apparently has been previously deleted at least once due to "lack of notability." Obviously, he is a new actor, but his status as a contract player on ''OLTL'' makes him notable, no? In any case, I was hoping you and others who have contributed to ''OLTL'' pages could comment on the article's [[Talk:Brandon Buddy|talk page]] regarding this deletion issue. Thanks in advance.

== Your reversions on [[Women in science fiction]] ==

The SmackBot changes were all sound, so I reverted them. I am particularly puzzled by why you restored something like [[gender in science fiction|gender in science fiction]], which substitutes the title of the article for itself! Is there something one of us (possibly me) is missing here? --[[User:Orangemike|Orange Mike]] 21:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
* The changes made to the <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tags are causing the "Notes" section to be very badly formatted. I'm going to fix this without a full revert this time... [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 22:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
**Cool. --[[User:Orangemike|Orange Mike]] 22:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
==Blogs/Homepages==
Hi, Valrith. I noticed you just deleted the blog link from the "External Links" at the [[Miki Mizuno]] article, which I don't question, and considered doing myself. My question is-- The Female Adult Bio template has a field for "Homepage." Is there a Wiki policy or precedent for or against putting an official blog link in there? [[User:Dekkappai|Dekkappai]] 22:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
* As far as I know, there's not. However, I generally won't link to a blog as they're on the list of links normally to be avoided. Besides that, I have a hard time seeing how a blog can be verifiable, or even verified as belonging to any particular person. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 22:45, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
** OK. Thanks for the feedback. Regards. [[User:Dekkappai|Dekkappai]] 22:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

IMHO the two templates I moved to the talk page are about editorial matters which is what the talk page is for. The information in them unlike for example {{tl|unreferenced}} (which should be put at the bottom in a Reference section) provide no information which a reader of the page needs to know. If you think that these templates are needed then please either edit the article to add the information which is missing (so they are no longer needed), or at least add to the talk page what it is that concerns you about the page. --[[User:Philip Baird Shearer|Philip Baird Shearer]] 09:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

==[[Silvia Saint]]==

Could you and [[User:TRFA]] kindly take your dispute over the [[WP:NPOV|NOPV]] status of the article to [[Talk:Silvia Saint]], rather than just blindly reverting each other? [[User:Tabercil|Tabercil]] 15:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

== [[Kim Richards]] ==

Hi, I am curious about your edits to this article. You previously deleted half of its content with the edit summary "copyedit". You recently tagged it as unsourced. When I added inline references, you deleted all of them with the edit summary "fix references". I don't know where you are in the world, but where I come from, 'fix' and 'delete' are not synonyms.

If your deletion of my references was pursuant to a guideline, please educate me. Otherwise, I will be restoring them.

Additionally, I think it's fair to ask you to be a little more accurate in your edit summaries. It makes it harder for others to determine who is removing content if the edit summaries aren't clear.

Thanks.

* I should probably be a bit more verbose with my edit summaries. As to "deletion of ... references", I really only deleted one (a link to her IMDb bio page). All the others were the same reference (a link to her main IMDb page), and having them appear multiple times was, imo, cluttering the appearance of the article. And since everything in the article is sourced to IMDb, it seemed adequate to have a single reference for the whole article rather than duplicate references for each sentence. [[User:Valrith|Valrith]] 02:46, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
**Fair enough. I will insert a single ref at the end of each paragraph. That way, others won't flag the article as unsourced, but we hopefully won't run afoul of your clutter threshold. I'll note it on the talk page so others can make adjustments as the article expands. Cheers and thanks for the reply! [[User:Butseriouslyfolks|Butseriouslyfolks]] 06:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
**P.S. Nice job on the citation formatting! [[User:Butseriouslyfolks|Butseriouslyfolks]] 18:48, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

please suggest changes or methods of required.
the article is verified but needs more information on past productions.

I see you keep removing unsourced material from the bangbros article. At first I disagreed with you but afterward a bunch of one edit anons started adding to it and it began to look like spam. Since the bangbros article is in my watchlist I'll keep a eye out for it and remove any unsourced or spammish info from it. --[[User:M8v2|M8v2]] 05:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

'''What (praytell) exactly do you have against her? You aren't abiding by these rules at all:'''"Deletion is performed by administrators based on policy, not personal likes and dislikes
There are three main processes for deleting articles — other types of deletion have similar processes
Articles that can be improved should be edited or tagged, not nominated for deletion"

'''Also, there's this stated by the Wikipedia rules and Chauntelle fits several of the criteria:'''"A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:

* It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
o This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries except for the following:
+ Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble.
+ Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report performance dates or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.

An article in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The above is the central criterion for inclusion. Below are some criteria that make it very likely that sufficient reliable information is available about a given group or individual musician.

1. Has had a charted hit on any national music chart.
2. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
3. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country, reported in reliable sources.
4. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
5. Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.
6. Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
7. Has won a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno or Mercury award.
8. Has won or placed in a major music competition.
9. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that page.)
10. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.
11. Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio or TV network.
