message from Hamilton Styden

Hi - Did you not notice the message from Hamilton, above? He's wondering what to do next. As fas as I can tell, the band qualifies for an article under the featured in multiple non-trivial published works clause of WP:MUSIC. He's looking for other opinions as well. I'm sure he'd appreciate a response. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 23:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Hello Again, Thank you for taking the time to look at the article again. I agree with your idea about breaking up the text with a few titles. What I'm guessing here is after the first initial introductory paragraph, placing titles such as Band History,or chronology, or something else specifically related to that particular section would help readers identify the section better as well as break up the large section of text.

How do I resubmit this as a page once I place the finishing touches on?

Thanks Again,

A favor...

...please take a look at Talk:Ivy_League#Penn.'s religious affiliations and the edit history. An aggressive anon keeps changing the article to read that Penn's religious affiliation was "Episcopalian and Quaker" rather than nonsectarian. Edit remarks include "Incorrect fact was replaced with correct fact; jew conspiracy to make a Christian university nonsectarian." He will not engage in talk, and simply keeps reverting--and removing a very long reference which explains the complex situation.

The next time he does it, would you consider blocking him? Thanks. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Definitely. I saw that change a week ago and figured he'd stopped after talk page explanations. Clearly it's now just reaching a point where it's disruptive. I'm also amazed at the ability some people have to turn any issue into proof a Jewish conspiracy, though judging from the three edits by this editor not made at Ivy League -- removal of a Jewish lawyer from the list of notable Penn alumni, stating that an adopted child raised in a Jewish home had Christian parents, and near-vandalistic edits to Category:Jewish American musicians -- it appears that "fighting the Jewish conspiracy" is an area of interest. Ugh. Anyway, long story short, it appears a block may be in order, and will issue one if the anon insists on continuing with this disruption. JDoorjam Talk 23:38, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I was also going to direct you to User_talk:68.80.254.34 where RBellin and I have both tried to engage with him... Anyway, it appears that Nunh-huh has already blocked him. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:12, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd taken a look at the talk page to make sure a block wasn't going to be out of the blue. This anon's last two changes came after the block expired, so I suspect the editor may return. I'm not sure what they'd return with, seeing as you've demonstrated how their key piece of evidence, in fact, proves your point (the Tai Chi method of arguing -- very satisfying to employ, and to observe), but then many an editor has boldly refused to let facts stand in the way.

Photos

Thanks again for additional info. I have a few promo photos that were inserts and I can contact the photographer for permission and don't anticipate a problem.I will contact the photographer for specific permission and was wondering if I can secure this permission through an email. I have quickly reviewed some of the info for photos and am not sure what the proper template would be. The closest I found was template:promophoto. The photo I am anticipating using is from a promotional insert from one of the records. Is it possible for the photographer to allow free use on Wikipedia but limit the use otherwise or is the best bet to get free use entirely? Can the photographer be credited under the photo? I certainly want to do this the proper and legal way to avoid image deletion and would really appreciate any advice as to how to properly secure a photo release and move from there.

Best Regards,

Dwain Fuller

G'day JDoorjam,

um, no, I didn't undelete the article. I recreated it with {{deletedpage}} as its only content, and protected it, because the article had already been deleted before and I had the feeling (see the article's talkpage) that it would be re-created yet again. That's the version you deleted. So, yeah, if you could undelete the edits by Yours Truly (or protect-delete it yourself) that would be good. Silly billy :-). fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 05:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Would you please also zap four remaining images from this deletion:

• • Image:HereComeEW.jpg
  • Image:Earthworms copy.jpg
  • Image:Earthworms copy.jpeg
  • Image:Earthworms.jpeg

Thanks - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 13:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

clarification

Hello,

I recently penned an article on "Dwain Fuller" which you seem to have deleted. No quibble there, as I am a new user and perhaps unfamiliar with guidelines. Just for clarification, however, what did your comments mean (nn-bio & whoops) in the deletion history? I'd appreciate your insight.

Cheers.

PS: I think the subject is, in fact, truly worthy. There are only 200 some-odd MD/JDs in the United States. Moreover, he has authored more than 35 scientific articles, not to mention two textbooks on vitreoretinal surgery. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.149.65.155 (talk • contribs) .

Substing userboxes

Hello! I was just starting to get worried about my userboxes, when someone directed me to your page! Will you tell me about substing userboxes? 'Substing'...is that a real term? Sergeant Snopake 20:58, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much!!!!! Hah! I'd like to see someone delete my userboxes now!! Sergeant Snopake 22:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

U DELETED MY ARTICLE

Let's discuss this. My one gripe is that did not contact my first about this.

I just created an account and have a lot to write about on this topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broketrustfundbaby (talk • contribs)

I agree with you that the content of the article is lacking. However, I've never had an account on here and quickly posted before I was finished. I have done a lot of legal research on the matter and it will be of value to many. So, how do I get the article reactivated? Now that I KNOW people will delete it, I will erase the content until it is complete. Is it possible to work on an article and save information until it's complete?

I appreciate your input.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broketrustfundbaby (talk • contribs)

Request

Hello JDoorjam. Based on our earlier discussions, I wonder if you might contribute to the discussion going on at Wikipedia:Mackensen's Proposal, my own humble and perhaps doomed attempt to resolve the userbox situation. Best, Mackensen (talk) 02:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

disambiguation help

I understand the concept a little, but I'm inexperienced with page moves and the necessary skills to clean up this mess: David McKee vs. David Mckee. I wondered if you'd be inclined to take a whack at sorting those into some semblance of sense.

On a side note, thanks for keeping my user page inline; its appreciated. Cornell Rockey 14:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Artitechture

Hi, I see you just deleted the article Artitechture, that I had tagged for speedy deletion, but had then changed to a {{dated prod}}. Could I ask you to consider undeleting the article - see my comments on the talk page. I still suspect the article will end up being deleted as a neologism, but I realized that I had not assumed good faith in nominating it for speedy deletion and that the editor deserved a chance to work on it. I think you deleted it while I was in the process of changing it to a Prod to allow that to happen. Many thanks for your consideration of this, Gwernol 02:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks, much appreciated. Gwernol 17:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Re. your de-spamming of Volkswagen Golf on 21:35, 27 April 2006

You "de-spammed" in Volkswagen Golf on 21:35, 27 April 2006. I ask that you consider adding back the links for the GTI VR6 Wiki and the MkV GTI Wiki:

• The GTI VR6 Wiki – info, how-tos, etc. on the Mk 3 and Mk 4 Golf-based GTI VR6 (was the GTI VR6 "library").
• The MkV GTI Wiki – info, how-tos, etc. on the Mk 5 GTI.

The GTI VR6 Wiki is the new, wiki-based version of the GTI VR6 "library", which had existed on the Web for quite a while. (A Google search for stuff in the "www.gti-vr6.net/library" domain shows content that goes as far back as 1998. It has been one of the more useful VW GTI VR6 resources on the Web. (And yes, I had been the creator and maintainer of that GTI VR6 library.)

The MkV GTI Wiki is similar to the GTI VR6 Wiki, only it's geared to the new MkV GTI.

Both of these are Wiki communities that have real values to owners and fans of the VW GTI VR6 and of the VW MkV GTI. Additionally, both are non-commercial, nor do they carry any ads. I ask that you please consider adding the links back. Thanks.

Speedy deletion criteria

I noticed that you put quite a number of model/porn star articles up for speedy deletion as not claiming notability. Many of these have been to AfD once and the discussion was clearly to keep the article. Please limit speedy tags to those articles which have no claim of notability; asserting that one is an international model or featured porn star is a claim. Removing large amounts of text from an article prior to putting the speedy tag on it is also considered bad form. Please put a request for references instead.
