:Just because content of any type - articles, images, categories, etc - in Wikipedia has been published out into the public spaces doesn't mean it can't be continually re-assessed. And when that content is put up for deletion, any editor can weigh in with their opinion and vote to either Keep or to Delete. Because once content is written into any Wikipedia space (user-spaces even) and the author hits 'Save', the content doesn't belong to its creator any more, it belongs to the public. It doesn't matter who a person is outside Wikipedia, they can alter the content so long as they stay within Wikipedia's various guidelines. I'm sorry about the present situation you find yourself in, but no one around Wikipedia has any special powers to stop the process. Looking at the opinions now posted on the deletion page, if I were you I would download any of the various versions you wish as soon as possible so you have a personal copy or copies off-Wikipedia.

Bath School disaster TFA nom worksheet{{subst:TFAR nom | article = {{subst:Bath School disaster}} | blurb = The '''Bath School disaster''' was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by [[Andrew Kehoe]] on May{{nbs}}18, 1927, in [[Bath Township, Michigan]]. The attacks killed 38 [[elementary school]]children and 6 adults, and injured at least 58 other people. On the morning of May 18 - having previously murdered his wife at their farm - Kehoe set off almost simultaneous explosions at his home and at the Bath Consolidated School. His explosives destroyed the farm's buildings and ripped through the north wing of the Bath Consolidated School building. As rescuers began working at the school, Kehoe drove up to the schoolyard and detonated [[dynamite]] inside his [[Fragmentation (weaponry)|shrapnel]]-filled truck. The truck explosion killed Kehoe and several bystanders. During the rescue and recovery efforts, searchers discovered an additional 500 [[Pound (mass)|pounds]] (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and [[pyrotol]] in the south wing of the school that was set to explode at the same time as the initial explosions in the north wing; Kehoe had apparently intended to destroy the entire school and kill everyone in it. | image = Bath School disaster showing front of school.png | caption = Front view of the Bath School building after the bombing | promoted = March 29, 2020 | editors = {{u|Shearonink}} | recents = No recent similar articles that I could find | reasons = The anniversary date of the disaster is May 18.

I want to add a time-stamp to a subst thingy I made a while ago but (From Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), see this edit as pertains to User:Shearonink/HolidayHere's the page: User:Shearonink/Holiday. I created this "Card" 3 years ago but was looking at it today prior to starting to send it out and I realized - eek! - that there is no time-stamp. I am somewhat tech-averse, so I do not understand how to add a time-stamp (heh, or even if it is possible). If some of you tech experts could take a look at the code and tell me how to fix it I'd appreciate that. PLEASE do not go ahead and just fix it yourself. I know that is probably easier but if I don't do it myself in the future I won't understand how to fix similar situations. Thanks & Cheers! Shearonink (talk) 19:11, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Arranged by MontroseArranged by Montrose - is this article correct? it is very confusing... Was wondering myself about the "and Jackson received schooling from two nearby priests" (especially that "nearby priests" part...) so I went hunting for when it was added to the article. It's been present in the Jackson article since April 2017 when it was added with this edit [2]. Does Wilentz's 2005 biography say *anything* specifically about Jackson's early schooling? If he did that could certainly be of interest...

Nice work, Shearonink. Just one thing: although you added the appropriate template to the talk page and left the wikiprojects in place, you forgot to actually redirect the school talk page to the disaster talk page. I did that just now, although to tell you the truth I don't know if it is actually required. I just don't like to leave the talk page of a redirect behind; seems like kind of an orphan. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:57, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
Headrights Surveying Virginia30 kb Drivehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Vital_Articles/30_kB_drive HOW TO TURN OFF VECTOR 2022How to turn off the new skinYou can turn off the Vector 2022 skin in two ways:
Another way to do linkage for articles* {{slink|Lost Cause of the Confederacy|Song of the South}} gives the reader this instead of * [[Lost Cause of the Confederacy#Song of the South]] + this. Bot adds publication dates to undated material
The first one is coming from one of the items in the HTML source (Ctrl + U in Firefox): <meta property="og:updated_time" content="2019-06-17T16:47:08-04:00" />
<meta property="article:published_time" content="2018-07-17T11:12:23-04:00" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2019-06-17T16:47:08-04:00" />
<meta name="dcterms.date" content="2018-07-17T11:12-04:00" />
The second one has similar: <meta property="article:published_time" content="2017-01-25T14:57:52-05:00" />
<meta property="article:modified_time" content="2022-05-04T10:25:57-04:00" />
(The bot should probably prefer the modified_time/updated_time if it is the source responsible, and if it's getting it from Citoid or other ext service maybe an upstream notification would be valuable.) This metadata is deliberately in that location for the purpose of bots and other systems. Izno (talk) 21:31, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Shearonink
I am new to Wikipedia & I have just created a noteworthy article "Shudra - The Rising... A Film" on the upcoming movie "Shudra - The Rising". You have wrote that this article is not "significant & important" enough to be added to wiki. I would request you to review it once again as this article supports to the existing topic of Wiki Shudra as a visual because the contents of shudra would be more liked by anybody in visuals & that is possible only when they are informed about such kind of movie & its links. This article has references of "Times of India" a leading newspaper of India, "Bollywood Hungama" a leading bollywood news site of Film Industry, moreover it has links on "IMDB" the international hub of movie database, we have our own website... there are hundreds of other links can be cited here, even if you just type "shudra" on any search engine or social websites (including google, youtube, facebook etc.) you will get the info of the film. As you have reviewed this article & found 'not acceptable' for wiki I wanted to ask you what else I should put in my article to get it accepted. I don't even know how to write on your talk page so I just edited one message on your page (plz don't take it as an offence) if this is supposed to be a message to you.

Disambiguation link notification for April 4
Hi. When you recently edited List of professional cyclists who died during a race, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Columbia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Edit war
Shearonink, I would be glad for moderation. If you have any suggestions please, please make them known. I have tried to use the page's talk section, users from the institution continue to remove relevant facts from the institution's page. First it was academic accreditation (now resolved), and now it is the historic position of the institution as both pre-millenial and dispensational (the school accepts both but not other eschatological viewpoints) Hungus (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:44, 9 April 2012 (UTC).
- Per Handling of edit-warring, it would be best if you first discuss the various issues about the subject with any involved editors at Talk:Criswell College. If that has already been tried, then you need to go to the next step which is to post a request at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring asking for guidance from an administrator.

Hello Shearonink, I did put a page up for consideration for the Artist Dorothy Duval as there is no reference to here on this site, shame as she is quite well known and was for a time in my youth my next door neighbour.She was exhibited at the Stco Exchange, Royal Society of Marine Artists show on three occasions and in WhosWho in Art 1977 edition where it tells of all her awards. Most of which I quoted in my text. What do I have to do to get a page in Wikipedia about Duval ? 1917-2005. I think you should have something on her as she was well considered in UK and France. Please advise. Thanks from Barriebrdc.

- Your draft did not specifically reference particular statements about Duval. She received a silver medal, had a Diploma, exhibited in various venues?...who said so? You have to prove that she did what you claim she did by citing specific independent published reliable sources. One of the guiding principles of Wikipedia is verifiability, readers have to be able to verify whatever claims and assertions are made about a subject. I suggest you take a look at Wikipedia Good Articles/Art & Architecture and use some of them as examples, like Joanne Gair and Barbara Howard (artist). If you haven't already, please go through the Wikipedia Tutorial, it's an easy step-by-step introduction to editing on Wikipedia. Then after you've read through the Tutorial, your first article can walk you through the process of writing an article. Hope this helps, Shearonink (talk) 13:40, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Thanks - it worked

My Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Emilia Pires is done, take a look! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Emilia_Pires
Thanks for the subst:submit tip - it worked - and the page is in queue awaiting for approval.
Hopefully I've done enough this time and the page will get approved. I think this person is really worthy of a page on Wikipedia.
Thanks again for your help. Really appreciated. Nerissa
Update: ShearonLink - my page got approved and has been published. Thanks for the advice!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Njm2012 (talk • contribs) 03:02, 23 April 2012 (UTC) (Njm2012 (talk) 05:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC))

What is wrong with the inline citations at this edit? The user had inline citations although they aren't reliable! (I have that person watchlisted) mabdul 06:07, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what your question is, but the inline citations are malformed in their intent - Ref#2 is to a blog written by the subject of the article, Ref#1 is to PopArchives.com.au and I don't see any editorial team at that site, nothing about the people who compile the information or the writers, so, yes, their reliability is unclear to me even if the structure is sufficient. If you disagree with my assessment, feel free to revert it and use your own Review, I don't mind. I do think this draft-article is basically unreferenced (from reliable sources anyway) and have also noticed that the parent article (about Artie Wayne) has no References, and only has External Links. Shearonink (talk) 06:28, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right: the references are bad (so decline as
|v=
), but they are inline. (and your decline reason is that they aren't; edit summary: (Declining submission: submission lacks inline citations)). mabdul 07:21, 11 April 2012 (UTC)- In your post above you asked me "what was wrong" with the inline citations, I then told you. Trying to remember my thought processes about that particular Review?...I think I looked at the draft, saw that it had *some* references and that the footnote structure was being followed, saw that there were only *two* footnotes and used the Decline because there weren't enough footnotes/references to sustain an article so it does lack (enough) inline citations. The AfC Review Tool uses an automatic edit summary that does not completely line up with the automatic comment in this case, it also does not have a Preview option...a Reviewer cannot see the Review/Decline/Comments/edit summary until after the Submit button is hit, so sometimes the Reviewer's intent is unclear. I would not have considered it an unreasonable revert if you had already gone ahead, reverted my Review and changed the Decline reason to your satisfaction. Shearonink (talk) 14:35, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- Please take a look at the (Custom) Review as well as the creator's talk page now: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/From The Inside (song), User talk:Inkimuff. I think this addresses all of your concerns, plus the creator has now been pointed towards the Teahouse for additional helps with their editing. Shearonink (talk) 17:07, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right: the references are bad (so decline as
thx
Thanks for closing out the help request at User talk:BatesMotel6/Washington Institute for Graduate Studies. I didn't figure I should close it, since the user seemed to be hoping to find somebody to second-guess my article edits and my statements on the user's talk page. Thanks for acting as a third party in the situation. --Orlady (talk) 03:29, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Per your suggestion on my talk page, I have fleshed out my reasoning for proposing this new page and replacing the existing History section on the Texas City, Texas page. I also requested a review of and comments on the above proposed changes (both the new AfC page and the proposed condensed History section for the main page) by others interested in this project. Please see Talk:Texas City, Texas. I would really appreciate your comments, too. Thanks.

Steamboat citations
Noticing your recent note to User:Valfontis about problems with Steamboats of Coos Bay, I made some improvements to the article this morning. It should be possible now to track down specific page numbers for the unsourced claims. Finetooth (talk) 19:19, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Good article nominations
You asked for some of my current good article nominations. :) The ones I have are Burundi women's national football team, Rwanda women's national football team and Zanzibar women's national football team. (Plus I think four more.) I do not believe there really are many more sources for them available online and as they have played only one or two games (or none), there isn't much that can be said. Hence, article brevity of probably about six paragraphs each. :) --LauraHale (talk) 05:04, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on my talk page - Facebook
Hi, and thank you very much for your generous help regarding the image issue. I will certainly benefit from your information; however, pardon me, but could you please confirm that a picture found on Facebook is also acceptable if I go through the procedure you described? Many thanks again! Dontreader (talk) 04:01, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- If the paperwork is filled out, I think so. Shearonink (talk) 04:04, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- That's excellent news, and quite a relief as well. Thanks so much! Dontreader (talk) 04:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Author of "Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion/SpiderGraph chart" requests a Favor!
Shearonink 4/22/12 "A Plea for Help and a FAVOR" regarding: WP:Articles for Deletion/SpiderGraph chart
Dear Shearonink,
During January & February, you were friendly and very helpful while my article was in AfCreation! I forget the date, but at some point, I wrote you about someone wanting to put notches on their belt or establishing a Kingdom?? I forget the exact way I phrased it?? Around Feb. 23rd, my article went public! On Feb. 24th, Chap, the Ripper did a Major Overhaul & Removal of most of my article. It was almost unrecognizable, the first paragraph of 144 words was cut down to 66 words, I almost gave-in to his intimidation, but I didn't want it to reflect bad on me, so I rewrote the article for the 4th or 5th time, around 3/12.
No new tags were placed on the article for almost 2 months, but the old Tags from early Feb. remained on top of the article. I thought someone had just forgotten to remove them. I thought all the hurdles had passed!
On 3/27/12, I received a notice that my article had been Proposed for Deletion by Nominator Glrx, which I answered on 3/31/12, with a 6 page "Objection to Deletion" reply, because all the accusations sounded like he hadn't even read the article! Glrx, a PhD in Philosophy, hit me again on 4/3/12 with more of the same: WP:N, DUE, NOR, NPOV, & COI, and still I proved all of his assumptions incorrect in my 8 page 4/10/12 reply!
Also on 4/3/12, Gene93k Added a Note Stating that "this debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions."
So Far, everyone that has come forth, sounds like they never read the SG or Radar chart articles and maybe not the discussion either. I feel like I'm being Sandbagged for a Speedy Deletion by a tag team of kids! I try to spell everything out for them to clarify or correct their incorrect assumptions or accusations. Today, I spent all day writing a reply to Jorgath (a 26 yr old, non-technical, college student) & Livitup.
IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, please do me a favor and read over the deletion discussions and see what you think. They all seem in a big hurry to hang the article & me out to dry and I don't know why. I just want to get on with my life!
When you read my answers, you will see that this article is very Notable!! It looks to me like, no matter what I say or do, they intend to go ahead with the Deletion. As you read the discussions, I believe you'll see that there is definitely no COI.

- Just because content of any type - articles, images, categories, etc - in Wikipedia has been published out into the public spaces doesn't mean it can't be continually re-assessed. And when that content is put up for deletion, any editor can weigh in with their opinion and vote to either Keep or to Delete. Because once content is written into any Wikipedia space (user-spaces even) and the author hits 'Save', the content doesn't belong to its creator any more, it belongs to the public. It doesn't matter who a person is outside Wikipedia, they can alter the content so long as they stay within Wikipedia's various guidelines. I'm sorry about the present situation you find yourself in, but no one around Wikipedia has any special powers to stop the process. Looking at the opinions now posted on the deletion page, if I were you I would download any of the various versions you wish as soon as possible so you have a personal copy or copies off-Wikipedia.

- @Greg: You are likely searching for that version. mabdul 00:33, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

A mid-importance article supported by WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers that was reviewed by Version 1.0 Editorial Team and selected for Version 0.7 and subsequent release versions. The article has come a long way from a fan boy mish mash to a fair enough GA. Now is the time to take it to the next level. Currently it's going through another peer review. Please, lend a hand.
