Drowningman - COI?

I patrolled Drowningman in the first place, and have since been involved with some substantial copyedit. You tagged it with the COI template. You haven't left any notes on the talk page. I presume you're suggesting User:Ohnonono123 has a connection with the band. Where's the evidence? I still can't see any. Yours, in curiosity, Shem (talk) 16:35, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

It appears he has some sort of connection with them. Per the page history, "01:58, 1 December 2009 Ohnonono123 (talk | contribs) (9,878 bytes) (removed all objectionable copywritten material. Everything else is either from interviews with me (simon brody) and equally my Intellectual Property or from material written BY me.) (undo) (Tag: references removed)" (bolding added by me) My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 16:53, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes - I see where you got it from. In the meantime that's been confirmed by his comments at User_talk:2over0#drowningman_article. I think it's fair to say that he needs to declare his interest in accordance with Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, and I've asked him on his talk page to do so. Thanks for the prompt reply. Shem (talk) 17:01, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

My pleasure... ttonyb (talk) 17:11, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

New Bill Newmark article

Newmark has been an influential political figure in the Bronx, New York for a couple of decades, and has been a frequent candidate for office. I have noticed that Wikipedia does have entries on unsuccessful political candidates and third party figures such as Fred Newman. The entry for the Working Families Party in New York has its executive, Dan Cantor, highlighted.

Thank you for your attention.Bronxpolwatcher (talk) 05:27, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

The article fails WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN. The Newman article is notable for much more than being an unsuccessful candidate. Not sure what is the significance of your mentioning the Working Families Party article. ttonyb (talk) 05:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the Mayor of Menlo Park, CA

Thanks, I looked at the Menlo Park website and it had not been changed. Thanks for clearing it up for me. ttonyb (talk) 15:29, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Managing Partners Limited - maintenance templates

Hi Ttonyb1, Sorry for removing the maintenance template on the MPL page; I'm still relatively new. I wasn't sure what to do with it as I had made significant changes to the article a few weeks ago (relating to the instructions in the template) and assumed after a while that, as no further instruction had been given, it was safe to remove them. Could you please be so kind as to tell me how I can go about having the template removed legally? Thanks, AM AtomicMonarch 09:28, 2 December 2009 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atomic Monarch (talk • contribs)

I removed the Wikify tag, all the others seem to still apply. ttonyb (talk) 15:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Air Solutions

With regard to User:68.157.0.87 and User:Md80stud, I am willing to assume good faith that they simply forgot to log in rather than trying to pass themselves off as two different people. But assuming that they are the same person, I wouldn't want the closing admin to be misled into counting them as two separate supporters of keeping the article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree, I also think your posted comment will bring it to the closing admin's attention. I would go ahead an report them as a potential SP if there is no response in a couple of days. With that said, I would also understand if you immediately reported the issue. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 04:48, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

That user and myself are both different users, while we do know each other and worked together in the past that has nothing to do with expressing the way we feel about the article in question. I have been trying to find information as he suggested and you all recommended to make this a more notable article. Please review is any information from this 3rd party is useful and how it could be applied to the article. http://www.madcowprod.com/06252007a.html , they make reference to the number of flights that Air Solutions operated to Haiti. I will continue to research for other 3rd party references and verification. --Aviationfreak 20:39, 3 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Md80stud (talk • contribs)

This is not really enough to support notability. The source does little more than support the existence of the airline. ttonyb (talk) 00:15, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Sean Jasso

Hello Ttonyb1,I appreciate your interest in my article. I trust there is a good reason you have tagged my article, although I am an experienced Wikipedia editor and I don't understand why you have tagged my article for speedy deletion. If you could provide some evidence for why it doesn't meet the criteria for an article, that would be much appreciated. Until then, could you please remove the speedy deletion tag since it has not yet been justified by evidence. Thanks, BDS2006 (talk) 17:45, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

The article has been changed to an AfD. It appears to fail WP:BIO and fails to provide independent references of substance - they are mostly press releases. The subject has only one very minor GNews and the GHits lack substance. ttonyb (talk) 17:53, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Kirstie Maude

I would like to enquire as to why you deleted my article on Kirstie Maude. I clearly stated that she was one of the foremot experts on the use of macromedia programs, which is more than sufficient reason to make it a valid encyclopedic article. Despite this, you still felt the need to delete it because it did not state why this article would make a suitable encyclopedic contribution. So what, pray, IS sufficient to make it appropriate and "notable"?? If you deleted all articles pertaining to less notable people than this, you would have a very small encyclopedia. I would like to state that I am thoroughly disgusted with your treatment of my article and think you should be releived of your administrative duties. Furthermore, I should like to inform you that I will not be using wikipedia in the future, in protest at this ridiculous abuse of power. I spent much of my valuable time on this article, simply to have it deleted immediately and treated with utter contempt. If you truly did delete articles less notable than mine, you would be able to count both the articles on this site and the number of it's users on one hand. I would finally like you to reconsider this deletion, due to the evidence I have given. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamcjones1995 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Rather than yelling at me because your article was deleted, I would suggest you step back and consider that the article might not have been up to Wikipedia standards.

I did not delete the article, I only nominated it for deletion. The nomination was independently reviewed by an Admin and then deleted by them - this meant they concurred with my assessment that the article was not up to Wikipedia standards. If you decide not to return to Wikipedia, I am sorry to hear that you will not be taking advantage of a wonderful tool for the dissemination of information; however, there are standards that need to be met in order for an article to be included in Wikipedia. The article you wrote failed to meet the criteria for notability. I suggest you read the text of the guideline to familiarize yourself with what is needed and try again. I would also review the links in Welcome message on your talk page to help understand Wikipedia a bit better. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 18:20, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Firstly, I did not "yell" at you, i put forward a perfectly logical argument in an appropriate and civilized way. Secondly, I would like you to reassess the deletion of my article, as i do beleive it meets the criteria, which I have looked through extensively. Thank you.

Adamcjones1995, you have shown yourself to be incapable of a civilized discussion as a result of this edit. [1]. I suggest you reread the comments above. ttonyb (talk) 18:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I am trying to have a civilized discussion, that was my little brother being an idiot , I am sorry about that. I would just like you to please review your decision to nominate my article for speedy deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamcjones1995 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Please see WP:BROTHER, because what you are saying is not an excuse. Please own up to your mistake and learn from it. Thanks! - Zhang He (talk) 19:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

yes, i can understand how you would think I did this, but I assure you I did not. Finally, I realise this is going nowhere. Tony, I appreciate you are a volunteer and are giving up your own time. I am sorry if I came across badly in my earlier posts. Thank you and merry christmas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamcjones1995 (talk • contribs) 19:24, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

That response could very well be a lie. - Zhang He (talk) 19:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

it could very well be, but please believe me when i say it is not. I am not a liar and do not appreciate being called one. thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamcjones1995 (talk • contribs) 19:33, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Please use indents when responding. Thanks! Also, I was not calling you a liar. All I said was that it could very well be a lie. - Zhang He (talk) 19:53, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Zhang He, in light of the original comment, I too doubt the veracity of the statement and believe that WP:BROTHER applies; however, the proof will be Adamcjones1995's discontinued or continued behavior. With that said, I look forward to being proven right or wrong. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 19:56, 3 December 2009 (UT

Ok guys. I am sorry for any offence or annoyance I caused. let's draw a line under it. Merry Christmas to you.

My best to all... ttonyb (talk) 20:03, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Fairfax Circle Baptist Church speedy deletion on page

Hi, I know there maybe justifiable copyright issues, but the content was created by me as the webmaster of the Fairfax Circle Baptist Church webmaster. Any help would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nacnud22032 (talk • contribs) 06:16, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

There are a couple of options, you can donate the material for use in Wikipedia; however, there are some issues with the donation. Since the text is so short, the easiest path to take is to rewrite the material. The other issue is that it fails to meet the criteria needed to establish notability. ttonyb (talk) 06:22, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

OK, I re-wrote the content and added notability references. Also, I designed and own the image I added. So it's not copyright infringement right? --Nacnud22032 15:23, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

So, I licensed the image under Creative Commons 3.0, see on the footer on homepage: http://www.fairfaxcirclechurch.org/ --Nacnud22032 15:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nacnud22032 (talk • contribs)

So is it all good now? Can you take off the tag? --Nacnud22032 16:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nacnud22032 (talk • contribs)

I removed the copyvio tag, but the organization tag still applies. ttonyb (talk) 18:31, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand. Notability links were added. What am I missing? Nacnud22032 20:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nacnud22032 (talk • contribs)

Sources need to be independent, third-party, and verifiable. You should read notability, verifiability and reliable sources for information concerning acceptable sources. Let me know if you have any questions. ttonyb (talk) 20:34, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Understood, I had 2 independent external links on there? Doesn't that count?

I see only one external link that serves to confirm the existence of the church. The church's existence is not in question. The article needs to meet the criteria of Wikipedia based notability. There is nothing to support that in the article. ttonyb (talk) 23:13, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

International notability

Hello! Do year articles have a regulation where only figures of international notability may be included in the Births and Deaths section? Is there a page where I can read about these guidelines? I've tried to calm myself and not feel discouraged after discovering the revert because it's not to made myself feel bad, but to bring more accuracy and credibility to the wiki. Thanks, Schfifty3 19:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Please do not feel bad, remember this is only Wikipedia, not "real-life". 8-) Generally the recent years are for internationally known events. The rules for recent years are covered in WP:RY. If you notice, there are "19XX in United States", "19XX in United Kingdom, and "19XX in Sports", etc. – the items might fit better in those articles than in the "19XX". With regards to "..bring[ing] more accuracy and credibility to the Wiki[pedia]", the information already exists in the source articles. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 19:49, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Mitchsteinfeld

Hi Ttony, I added User:Bepurdy15 to the list in light of the article Wadsworth Jarrell and the AFRI-COBRA movement. I'm not overly familiar with the procedures for these investigations, so if that wasn't the right thing to do please let me know and I'll be grateful to learn-- Glenfarclas (talk) 06:58, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding this revert, the IP editor's contribution seems appropriate (it links to an article, with what seems to be a valid 1986 date). Apologies if I am confused. Cheers, --4wajzkd02 (talk) 16:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Michelle Price

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Michelle Price. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michelle Price. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

December 2009

When 2010 becomes the current year, here's how the 2010 article will probably look like:

2010 (MMX) is the current year, in accordance with the Gregorian Calendar, a common year that started on Friday of the Anno Domini or Common Era. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Homerjay90 (talk • contribs) 06:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

The correct format would be:

2009 (MMIX) is a common year starting on Thursday and is the current year. In the Gregorian calendar, it is the 2009th year of the Common Era, or of Anno Domini; the 9th year of the 3rd millennium and of the 21st century; and the 10th and last of the 2000s decade. ttonyb (talk) 06:43, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

or: correct format will be changed sometine

2010 (MMX) is a common year starting on Friday, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It is the 2010th year of the Anno Domini/Common Era, the 10th year of the 3rd millennium and 21st century, and the 1st year of the 2010s decade. It is also the current year.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Homerjay90 (talk • contribs)
