Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Peter's Rock, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Do not remove clean-up tags from articles which you have created. Loonymonkey (talk) 02:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peter's Rock[edit]

Hi there. You keep adding "Peter's Rock" to a variety of webpages. Trouble is, "Peter's Rock" doesn't seem to exist, at least not according to the USBGN, the authority on the issue. If you have proof otherwise, please bring it to the talk page for the article. If not, it will be deleted.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 05:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I take that back. Looks like you might have something. The USBGN isn't always right (Rabbit Rock, according to them). I'll be glad to put the feature back up tomorrow. Thanks for trying to improve the article. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 05:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I've moved Peter's Rock to the West ridgeline section, as it is more appropriately related to Totoket Mountain and Saltonstall Mountain. I've also temporarily removed the "Adjacent summits" box in Peter's Rock, as it was inaccurate; I'll re-post it tomorrow sometime. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 05:57, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that you copied directly from the Peter's Rock Association webpage in creating the article, and you uploaded a photo that isn't your own work. I've edited the article to eliminate the copyright violation, and I've edited the image licenseing to show that the image is a pre-1923 photo author unknown. If you have information about the author, please insert it.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 15:27, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of material from Charles Island[edit]

I removed the material you contributed to the Charles Island article. The sourcing appears to violate WP:SPS, and, particularly with ghost stories, we should have reliable sourcing. I have no problem with ghost sightings sourced to a particularly reliable source, such as a local newspaper -- I've added information about a ghost story to a lighthouse article because, whether there was a ghost or not, there was certainly a story people told about ghosts at the lighthouse. So if we can get something like that for Charles Island, I'm fine with it. But we can't leave ourselves open to perpetuating a hoax. I appreciate the fact that you put time into your contribution, but I don't believe it's in the best interest of Wikipedia and its readers to keep it in based on that sourcing. I'm open to changing my mind if you can ease my concerns. Noroton (talk) 22:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took a closer look at it and I see most of the information you added was not from this ghost stories/sightings site that seems to violate WP:SPS, so I added back the 80 percent of that section that didn't seem to have information from that Web site. I'm not to sure about the ghost stories book, but I don't know enough about it to doubt its reliability. If reliable sources say there are stories about the paranormal about this island, then that's certainly worth mentioning in the article. Noroton (talk) 23:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hanging HIlls[edit]

Hi there, I removed the two black dog links from the article because:

Two links to Black dog information already exist within the aritcle; one to a Wikipedia page on the actual phantom.
The sources you provided seemed a little sketchy.

If you'd like to comment& discuss, please bring it to the article talk page; thank you. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 18:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to compose an article about the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills, that would be the place to put multiple links RE: the black dog phenomenon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgagnon999 (talk • contribs) 18:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Paranormal edits[edit]

Hi again, I notied that you're doing a significant number of edits to paranormal sites; you should consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Paranormal; at the very least drop them a note & let them know about your work. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 18:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Eyes (band)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Eyes (band) 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 band or musician, 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 guideline for musical topics.

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.

AfD nomination of Jasper Wrath[edit]

I have nominated Jasper Wrath, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jasper Wrath. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Xenocide^Talk^|^{Contributions} 01:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
