[edit] Slit-robo

Hey!! Why did you mark my article as technical? As in, what should I add to make it less technical.. I'm working on a few diagrams (they will take me a few more days), but it's a technical subject, and I explained it in as close to layman's terms as possible, or at least tried very hard to. And when you put it into the Cell signaling category tag (thanks for that, by the way), did you get to decide what to classify it as? Or who does that? I'm really new to editing wikipedia, so I'm sorry if these are really dumb questions.. but I'm only asking because whoever labeled it labeled it as a "start," meaning it needs more references and stuff... and that's only one step about stub! there are 58 references, and all of them current and organized.. so I don't think that's very accurate.. I was just wondering who to talk to about that - not meaning to attack you in any way though. I'm glad to see my page attracted another editor :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pattimurphy (talk • contribs) 02:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

You've done a very good job for your first article. Just as a casual reader with not much knowledge of the subject, I think most people would have difficulty understanding what exactly you were referring to. It's not a huge deal though, I'd recommend simplifying the introduction. Feel free to remove the tag if you get around to it.
I did put it in the cell signaling category, but that's just my judgement. If you can look at other similar articles and figure out what other categories apply, feel free to add them as well. As far as the "start" class on the talk page, that's just a general assessment that is used for various wikiprojects (groups of editors that collaborate together on articles of similar subjects). If it's not a stub, it gets put as a start-class until someone else can come along and review it based on that projects assessment guidelines. I wouldn't worry about that though. Anyways, welcome to Wikipedia! Falcon8765 (TALK) 02:48, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I was just wondering. Thank you :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pattimurphy (talk • contribs) 02:55, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Fireworks

You deletedas massive amount of referenced text, and claimed it was "Vandalism", and then falsely accused me of vandalism. Read it before you revert. Since your accusation is false, you need to retract the vandalism warning on my talk page.Tilk Tem (talk) 20:08, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Smart Meter

Regarding the deleted quote, the activist Joshua Hart is notable -- he is arguably the most prominent advocate against smart meters. Of course the quote is biased, it is voicing an opinion mentioned nowhere else in the article. Why would you want to remove the only two sentences in the entire article that represents those opposed to smart meters? Do you want to allow only the point of view of the utility companies? Let me know your thoughts and thanks for your consideration. Meisenb6 (talk) 01:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to including valid criticisms in the article. However, the quote with no context in the middle of an entirely negative section wasn't neutral. If the quote can be included with the counterpoint of the medical communities' opinion (which I'm almost entirely sure will contradict the health claims) then I wouldn't be opposed to its inclusion. Likewise, other elements of criticism should be balanced with the counterpoints of the proponents of smart meters. Otherwise, it gives undue weight to the negative aspects. Falcon8765 (TALK) 01:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

I disagree with your opinion that the medical community firmly believes there are no harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation. I think it is an area of growing awareness and concern that has reached the attention of prominent professors, journals, and newspapers. The evidence is not conclusive yet for either side of the debate. In any case, your point about writing so as to include both sides of the issue is well taken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meisenb6 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] GeForce 600 series

hello and i see you have been making some contribution to my article i had made just minutes ago and i was wondering how much actual content you are planing on adding to the article. i have encountered many users on this site who have nothing better to do than delete my posts (especial my images) or anything else to to get rid of my hard work. how exactly do many of these admins found out a new site has been created. please use your time constructively. Smokeydude(talk) 07:18, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Just doing new page patrolling. Right now nothing about the 600 series hardware is confirmed. It's all rumors and speculation, thus the tags on the article. Falcon8765 (TALK) 02:40, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Gujarat Today Daily newspaper

Hi, just to let you know that I have removed the speedy tag from the above article because A7 only applies to real people, individual animal(s), organizations, and web content. A newspaper is a product, and is therefore not covered. The article is clearly in a bad state, and is promotional in parts. Thanks, Quasihuman | Talk 11:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. A newspaper can be interpreted as being a company, especially how the article is written. I've seen many similar articles be speedied for A7, as they generally are interpreted as companies. 20:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Ok, I see that point of view, but it is a bit of a grey area, speedy deletion was meant for articles that unambiguously meet the criteria. As an example, The Independent is published by Independent News & Media, a publishing organisation that publishes lots of different newspapers, the article on The Independent is not about the company that publishes the newspaper, but about one of the products of that company. I hadn't considered your point of view, and seeing how it's a grey area, I will reinstate the tag to let the admins decide. Quasihuman | Talk 20:53, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Quranism

If you go against my edits on wikipedia, I will go against wikipedia, that is how it is. If information is governed by ignorant people, wikipedia does not represent information. My edit was in no was advertising. If you had a mind you would check the link, and see that it contains highly esoteric and correct information on Quran Alone belief. In fact probably the only one that is not sectarian on the whole page. I have experierenced idiot editers here before. Highly valuable information has got lost, and is not shared with the public due to them. You are against the whole idea of information. You have contributed to my view that wikiepedia fails as a platform for sharing the best of information, and therefore is worthless and should not be supported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NothingAndInfinite (talk • contribs) 06:42, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free rationale for File:LSRM195.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:LSRM195.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:42, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Softball

You removed my edits regarding slow pitch softball bats which I thought was a very valid point to make since you touched on preference of "lighter" bats used in fast pitch softball. You also marked the reference links as SPAM, where the website I used as a reference for the revision is a very informational online softball community and discussion forum related to slow pitch softball. Please reconsider my edits. I am not a spammer, just a softball player! Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.165.133 (talk) 21:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] topha3711

Hello Falcon8765,

I do not understand, I read the guidelines on external links and I thought I did everything right. The external links I edited in I thought would be very helpful because it is completely related to Shirley Temple and there isn't such further resources already available on the Wikipedia page. One of the external links for example provide an accurate and details list of the movies Shirley Temple has made in chronological order. Many people find this helpful.

I am not very good with code, but I tried my best to make it look nice, if it needs to look better will you please help me and fix it for me?

Thank you for your help,

topha3711 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Topha3711 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, it was nothing personal. I generally remove most additions of external links as you can never be sure of the motivations of the editor who added it, especially when no explanation is made. However, since you have shown willingness to discuss it, feel free to make your case on Talk:Shirley Temple and you can readd it if others agree with your rationale.

[edit] Proposed deletion of Art Kaufman

Ambox warning yellow.svg

The article Art Kaufman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:BIO.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Zzarch (talk) 09:55, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I've removed your prod as your criteria does not apply. Specifically, Art Kaufman passes WP:NCOLLATH - "Include head coaches, well-known assistant coaches, or players who have gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team." As a coach who has been coaching at various FBS programs for decades, it's pretty obvious that he passes. Had you read the source included, it would have demonstrated that notability. Tagging a big blob of notability tags, after I removed the prod with explanation, (the one source, refimprove, and BLP sources tags are redundant to each other) while the article is in the process of being expanded is not helpful. Falcon8765 (TALK) 11:10, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
It seems that everything is in order over there. In the next time, perhaps you would consider creating a userspace draft first? Zzarch (talk) 20:09, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

hi falcon the content in wikipedia regarding the 2nd largest city of assam is misleading and full of information which will shock general public. the polupation mentioned under the box is of the district, but not of the city. in india a municipal coorpartion is formed when population exceeds 50000 or half million. for more information you can check it in census of india. jorhat had a population of 66000 as of 2001 and dibrugarh had 1,22,000. so dibrugarh is the 2nd largest city in assam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunny20rocky (talk • contribs) 10:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
