Re:photo requests

Hi, I guess I do do requests, but for places like those, you may be waiting a while. Kanata is a long bus ride, and Hull is a fairly long walk (short bus ride, but out of my way). I can do anything in Central Ottawa though, or the Riverview area. -- Earl Andrew - talk 17:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

McDonald's

WhisperToMe -

I am contacting you on behalf of McDonald’s as I work on their communications team. I've noticed that you've made edits recently and are one of the top editors of the McDonald's page. First off, I wanted to thank you for the fantastic work you’ve done in keeping the McDonald’s Wikipedia page up to date and accurate. The page is very well written, shows your professionalism and exemplifies the credibility in using Wikipedia to learn about McDonald’s!

Second, while you seem to have things under control, I wanted to reach out to you to see if there’s any information or materials that we can provide you with to further enhance the page. For example, as McDonald’s continues to add new menu items and expand the number of operating restaurants around the world, we have a number of new facts and figures (nutritional information on products, number of operating stores worldwide, etc.) that you might find beneficial. Additionally, we’ve established a presence in the social media world on Facebook and Twitter that we’re increasingly relying on to interact with our customers. Whatever the case may be, please use me as a resource.

I look forward to hearing from you and thanks again! Egerstea (talk) 23:12, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Air Koryo

I didn't remove the photo - simply moved it to the Gallery. In any event, there is already an article on the airport and no need to add to the congested lead. Best regards, --Kristoferb (talk) 11:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't disagree. However, you have no evidence to support your claim and I, for one, don't recall any obvious office in the airport. An airport, moreover, is not simply the passenger terminal - there are likely many out buildings in the vicinity - any of which could be the head office. --Kristoferb (talk) 12:42, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm not convinced. I don't think you make a viable case for repeating images in a string of article where each image holds greater than average value. --Kristoferb (talk) 12:52, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

i.e. North Korean articles (not exactly an excess of quality images floating around). Why should we repeat a generic photo of the airside of a terminal in which the HQ may or may not be located... in the already crowded lead no less? If you want to put it in the Gallery, I have absolutely no objection.

Why on earth are you so keen to worsen an article just for the sake of showing an irrelevant portion of a building already adequately covered elsewhere? Seems misguided to me. Good luck with your email.--Kristoferb (talk) 13:14, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Air Koryo is an AIRLINE - planes are somewhat important. Clearly this conversation is going nowhere fast, so goodnight.--Kristoferb (talk) 13:22, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

For third party readers: Airline articles still have airport photos, and contributors have judged that they are relevant. I do not agree with Kristoferb's argument, and I believe that existing Wikipedia articles have set a precedent that it is okay to have an airport photo in the article, and that precedent opposes Kristoferb's viewpoint. Plus aircraft exteriors are not the only aspect of an airline. There are also check-in machines, aircraft interiors, flight attendants, etc. etc. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:32, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Lahore's facebook page

Hi Admin, I'd like to request you to please replace the main image of Lahore (in the facebook-wiki page of Lahore: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Lahore-Pakistan/108104849224069) to this image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:329px-Lahore%27s_Montage.jpg). The map in the page looks quite odd. All cities have their montages on their facebook page, so should Lahore. Thanks :) (Watercolor121 (talk))

Gatwick Airport (inclusion of non-aviation businesses)

Hello user en:User:WhisperToMe: I disagree with you re inclusion of non-aviation businesses on/close to airport premises in Gatwick Airport article specifically and other airport articles generally for the following reasons: There may be loads of relatively small such companies that are located on or near various airport premises; unless these are notable for playing an important role in the airport's development even as non-aviation businesses, why mention them in an airport-specific article? What value does it add to the article in an airport/aviation context? Where do you draw the line, especially when adding this information to an already very comprehensive and detailed article such as the one about Gatwick Airport? In Gatwick's case in particular there are/have been a number of other non-aviation firms on or near its premises that, as to the best of my knowledge, did not locate themselves there primarily because of the airport, including for example CP Ships (a container shipping company that was taken over by Hapag Lloyd a few years ago) and the investment arms of several banks such as RBS for instance. I have therefore removed the relevant passage under the "Facilities" heading of the article, which is basically what the anonymous user using IP address 86.163.231.70 already did in 2010.Devanahalli2008 (talk)

Hello again user en:User:WhisperToMe: Many thanks for your efforts to reply to the points I'd raised earlier on this page. I noted your responses. Re Western GeCo, I still think it would be better to include this info in a separate article linked to the "Facilities" section of the "Gatwick Airport" article. Re mentioning that BCal and Laker had their HQs on the airport's premises in the past, what about other LGW airline HQs preceding theirs, eg BUA (1968-70), Air Couriers, Lloyd International, Overseas Aviation, Transglobe and, more recently, CityFlyer Express? This info is actually available in the relevant airline articles. Devanahalli2008 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC).

HPD Controversies sections

As you know, there has been a number of controversies with alleged beatings and I'm wondering if perhaps it might be time to include them in the Houston Police Department, but I don't want them to take over the whole swaths of the article. A week or so ago, there was someone that started a minor article on officers arrested, and I'm pondering whether to shift it over to History of the Houston Police Department since there wasn't much information on it, but in the case of the beatings, it might be a totally different manner. Basically, I'm asking for an opinion and some help with the matter since I'm a little too close to the article and the topic as a whole. --Hourick (talk) 17:11, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I guess that'll be put in, but what about the arrested officers section? Since there isn't really an issue there, should they simply be pushed into the history article in the appropriate section or just deleted altogether?

Well, looking at the other articles, there is no such section, but there is a "CONTROVERSY" section which includes some fairly substantial issues that have merited quite a bit of news coverage. I'm more inclined to do that then to simply name officers who have been arrested on something that's fairly isn't notable. But again, considering I put quite a bit of time on these two articles, you can see how my perception might be skewed. I started collecting bookmarks for references and will see how to put it properly, but I would appreciate it if you or others would keep an eye on it so I am to remain impartial on the matter without over compensating one way or another. I hope to start on it sometime this week. --Hourick (talk) 06:26, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Started [new article] on the topic. Rough draft, so depending on how it forms, it MAY be a new article hooked to HPD, or simply condensed and merged with it. We'll see how it goes, but I figured you might see what I'm doing. Mind you, it's very rough. --Hourick (talk) 19:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I created the Chad Holley article, and added a smaller section on the HPD article. Hopefully Chad Holley's will survive some Deleting happy editors and attract some contributions.

RE:Bakirköy

Hallo, you are right, I forgot to justify the removal. Shame on myself! The problem is that Bakirköy is both a neighborhood, a municipality (belediye) and a district (which is very large, extending over Yesilköy, Yesilyürt, Florya, etc.). Now, the article deals only with the neighborhood (it is specified in the incipit), and the headquarters of THY are not in Bakirköy (neighborhood), but in Yesilköy (and there belongs the info and the picture). That's why I removed the picture. Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 07:49, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Hallo, an article about the district as in the Turkish Wikipedia does not exists (yet) on Wikipedia English. Anyway, i think that the approach used here is correct, since in Istanbul when one says "I am going to Bakirköy" he/she means the neighborhood, not the district, which has only administrative purposes. Until 1970 Bakirköy was a village surrounded by countryside (as it was Yesilköy, where we have an apartment). Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 08:06, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, this make sense! And also the general info, which belongs to the district, as THY, Air War School (Yesilyürt), etc. By the way, is it not deep night now in Houston?  :-) Cheers, Alex2006 (talk) 09:46, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hussa

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Hussa 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Yaksar (let's chat) 19:42, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Hussa

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Hussa, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:18, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Artistic depictions

Hi,

It's been a while but I wanted to respond to your note from a few months ago.

You're asserting artistic depictions aren't OR. Of course they are. An illustration of the KAL shootdown by a Wikipedia editor for the Wikipedia article is of course OR. The artist didn't see the event, or photographs of the event, and is interpreting the event based on his own research. That's the definition of OR. Tempshill (talk) 20:13, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I think you're missing some important aspects of this debate. See this illustration, which I think is the Arrow Air illustration that was being debated in the talk page you linked me. (The illustration has since been changed to a single-aircraft illustration.)

It is pretty easy to come up with many reasons why this illustration must be, at a minimum, labeled prominently as an artist's depiction of the event, and why we must not claim that it is accurate. By the way, I don't strongly object anymore to including illustrations like this on Wikipedia, because even though they involve OR, they can help to illustrate — but I insist that every time an image like this is used, the caption must state that it's an artist's depiction. Anyway, here are some places the illustration is not accurate:

• Was plane #1's pitch exactly as shown?
• Plane #1's yaw?
• Plane #1's roll?
• Plane #2's pitch?
• Plane #2's yaw?
• Plane #2's roll?

None of the above is given precisely in the incident report; the artist is guessing. It's highly unlikely the two planes' attitudes were precisely level like this.

• What was the angle of deformation or bending of the wings on plane #1? Were they both really uniformly rigid as depicted? Really?
• Angle of deformation or bending of the wings on plane #2?
• Both planes are shown without ailerons. Is this accurate?
• Assuming that's just an error, were the ailerons really not at all turning either aircraft? At the time of the collision, they were all at zero degrees, indicating that the pilots were not at all attempting to guide either aircraft in any kind of turn or dive or climb?
• The artist labeled both aircraft as being N950JW. An obvious error.
• Was the rudder on both aircraft really straight?

A reader looking at this illustration would reach the conclusion that both pilots were mindlessly flying the aircraft straight with no attempt at avoidance, and that both aircraft were at exactly level flight (though somehow one wing is hitting the underside of the other aircraft's wing, an impossibility if both aircraft are in exactly level flight). It reflects badly on the pilots, for one thing.

I mean, this illustration is bad — so bad that I would barely put it in Wikipedia with a caption merely stating that it's an artist's depiction of the impact point. It's certainly not a good depiction of the whole accident. It can't be. We don't have a complete picture, this illustrator does not, and it's not legitimate to say that the illustrator drew the accident from the data that has been reported. What results is inevitably a very incomplete version of what really happened, which is why it's important in every single case to include the disclaimer that this is one artist's interpretation of events.

Sorry if you're already on board with this and I'm preaching to the choir about the "artist's depiction" captions; our brief interaction hasn't given me the opportunity to understand any nuances of your position. Thanks - Tempshill (talk) 22:23, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Wawa anyone?

File:Wawa Red Roof.JPG - this is the old building on their "HQ campus." There's an official entrance in an attached modern building that I have a picture of, but it is ugly.

True Grit

Hi,

Apologies for the brusque deletion - no offense intended. My concern is that going with your suggestions would result in something like the following:

"Ruth Morris, a 29 year old social worker and student from the University of Texas School of Public Health, served as a body double for Elizabeth Marvel (who played the adult Mattie in the last three minutes of the film). Morris had more screen time than Marvel."

Which seems a little trivial compared to the original statement. I certainly won't revert an edit to that effect, but it seems to draw rather a lot of attention to a very small point. Arthur Holland (talk) 21:01, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi again,

There are a number of problems with this paragraph, in terms of style, content and grammar, so I'm going to rewrite it.

Personally I still feel that this fact is little more than a "trivia shot" at the end of the "Adaptation and production" section; however, I've no desire to get into a row over it so I'll make my changes and leave it at that. Arthur Holland (talk) 12:29, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Article stub --> Blocked

Hello, my best friend ...

Currently I'm blocked in Wikipedia Bahasa Indonesia for 3 days and was using an account from Wikipedia Bahasa Melayu. So would I devote my disappointment to you because in my opinion, I do not do acts of vandalism, but blocking penalties.

I just wanted to ask, whether in "English Wikipedia" a user who contributes a short article in the form of pilot could be liable to temporary blocking, because that's my account is blocked there. While the Malays seem to contribute longer articles that I make enough to get a positive response.

Please your answer in Malay or English only. Thank you. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 01:50, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. You have to raise my heart and hope to go on and on again contribute to the Wikimedia Foundation. Sincerely. Wagino 20100516 (talk) 02:12, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Your photo requests for Halifax

I finally went out and took the photos you requested today, however, the weather was deteriorating badly, so the lighting is rather gray (the blizzard started about an hour later). I'm not sure where you want the photos in the articles, so I'll give you their names and you can insert them somewhere appropriate. The one for Air Canada Jazz is called Jazz_Office_CYHZ.JPG, the Canjet one is called Canjet_Office_CYHZ.JPG, and the Maritime Air Charter one is called MAC_hangar_CYHZ.JPG. Unfortunately, when I uploaded the Canjet pic, I used the description that says that I created it myself, but totally forgot to check the licencing checkbox. I don't know if there's some way to set it to the recommended licence option now or not, or if it defaults to that, but in any case, that had been my original intention. If I feel inspired in the summer, maybe I can get one with a blue sky and no dirty snowbanks! Cheers HiFlyChick (talk) 01:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Re:Montage

No no, you confused it. I said on the 'FACEBOOK PAGE' (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lahore-Pakistan/108104849224069) Not the Wikipedia page. The facebook page has this map thing that looks quite weird. All cities have montages on the 'Facebook' page. Lahore should too.

AR alternate website

Hi!. Sorry for being a month late in my reply. www.aerolineas.com.ar is not an alternate website for Aerolíneas Argentinas, it is the Argentine version of it. The international website can be accessed through www.aerolineas.aero, which is actually the url included in the infobox.

Wal-Mart

About your edit from a month ago... WP:EL does not say "Only one link to an official site"

It simply says "Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links." - What constitutes a "minumum" is an editorial decision that editors of a page determine on a page by page basis.

In any case, the official site template now has a "mobile" parameter so the mobile version appears in parentheses, consolidating official site links. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:46, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

It is widely accepted on Wikipedia that external links in an article are limited to one per website. Otherwise, there could a link to WM corporate, WM Home and Garden, WM Pharmacy, WM Toys, etc. etc. etc.

official site template now has a "mobile" parameter: Huh????

What constitutes a "minumum" is an editorial decision that editors of a page determine on a page by page basis: Perhaps, so that requires you (by WP:BURDEN) to seek and achieve a clear consensus at Talk:Wal-Mart before adding more than one link per website. Cresix (talk) 18:02, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Just noticed I didn't put a header on this section. Sorry, I think it confused me more than it did you.
May I see a link to a discussion that establishes this on a Wikipedia-wide basis?: Perhaps I didn't state it clearly. I didn't mean to imply that there's a policy or even a guideline (other than what's already in WP:EL. In my observations, it is unusual to have a link to the same website more than once in EL. I have no doubt it happens, but I've seen that often result in removal because it gives the impression of promoting the website (or what they sell).
This one certainly is not worth climbing the Reichstag over. If I'm wrong and having more than one link at Wal-Mart doesn't invite needless stuffing of ELs into that or other articles, wonderful; we don't have a problem. If I happen to be right, I'll be sure to contact you to do the cleanup. :) Have a great day! Cresix (talk) 22:33, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Do you mind popping into the article to see anything's wrong with it; it's close to the FA-status. Also, I can't seem to figure out an alt text for the carbon brake picture. Thanks Sp33dyphil ^{(T • C • I love Wikipedia!)} 06:45, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Pan Am destinations.

A contributer named Juancho seems to be concerned that someone has changed the format displaying countries and cities. Someone changed the "before closure" section, while the "at closure" section retains the old format. If you get a chance, have a look and see if you think there's a problem.

Oaxaca

Hi WhisperToMe:

I am working on trying to promote Oaxaca GA status. If you have time, would you mind giving it a quick once-over to see if any problems pop out to you? Its a work in progress, but "unfamiliar eyes" often see issues that those working on articles do not.

Thanks!! -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 05:32, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for looking over it and the UABJO article!!! I'm looking into sources for your notations. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 03:29, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

If you don't mind me asking, what browser do you use? You edit at lightning speed! I'm jealous ;-) -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 03:32, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Same here... you must have a better computer then...or better internet connection (anything is better than cablemas though) Thanks. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 03:39, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I updated the page and noticed you had moved the page and did minor copy/editing. I'm glad you did the page move, I've had my head bit off too many times by people who get pissy when I add in accented characters. Anyhow I'll have to look into expanding it. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 03:45, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Its usually people who get bent out of shape claiming it violates "common english name" in situations where it doesn't really apply -- like Cablemás. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 03:49, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

You and I know that...but...for some people it seems a touchy issue.. sigh.. I'm going to look for a logo and building photo for the article. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 03:53, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Thelmadatter is in DF and has contributed photos to the project. There are a couple of others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. Let me see if I can remember. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 03:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Mexico is kinda funny about what is and isn't permitted; however the lack of uniform enforcement contributes to confusion. -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 04:16, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

When I first got my driver's license here the only thing they required was my name, address, blood type and name/number of "next of kin". No exams. No proof of identity needed whatsoever. They didnt even want to see my passport or visa. They took my photo and a thumb print and a 345 peso "processing fee", and that was it. If you offered to pay a $1000 peso "gratuity" you got bumped to the front of the line...mind you the line ran more than four blocks down the street from the Transito office. Maybe things are different in other Mex. states...but...things just work weird here in Oax... Don't get me started on the lack of piped tap water.. jaja -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 04:27, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Mexican Federal Highway 175 as it runs through Oaxaca city.[1]. Its been like this two years...not enough money (or no one has paid a big enough bribe) to replace the storm drain grates that went missing, so impromptu "cones" were "installed". Now that's a wow factor -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 04:39, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't look that way[2] -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 04:48, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I guess we'll have to wait until someone creates an article in Spanish WhisperToMe (talk) 05:00, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Another Mexico City area Wikipedian who might be able to help you with photos. Although keep in mind that while everything looks close on a map, well...its still Mexico and not the easiest place to get around :) -- nsaum75 ^{!Dígame¡‎} 05:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

City of Bellaire Edits

Hi. Thanks for letting me know that you reviewed the references given in the article. After reading your note I realized that I was not clear on why I put the citation needed tags on the information when I should have been more clear. The first tag I placed because Teas Nursery was owned by a group of private stockholders who kept their meetings private. It is unlikely that any article writer could know what all of the "owners" wished for. Because the link was dead, I was unable to verify any of the information in the statement regarding the "owners" wishes for the land. From what I know of the matter, the statement is inaccurate and does not reflect all of the wishes of all of the owners. Since the reference for this claim is no longer accessible, I have changed it to read simply that the company fought the city's attempt which is information which can be verified and does not make any claims of what any person did or did not feel. In the second case, I did not realize that the reference in question was for both the statements made. I clarified the statement to reflect which party intended housing development on the property. Since the stockholders chose to do something different with the property than what was stated in the article, "whom" intended for housing development to happen need to be clarified. Again, thanks for your attention to this article. Dragon of wiki (talk) 20:46, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

United Transport Administration

Hi WhisperToMe. Got a quick question for you on the article United Transport Administration you created. The article says it is the child agency of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development referring to proper sources. However, this information from the website of the Parliament of Georgia contradicts that information. It says Gia Khuroshvili stated that during two months, in parallel regime of setting up the Ministry, Staff of State Ministry in Regional Management Issues will be liquidated and the reorganization will be implemented in the Ministry of Economical Development. United Transport Administration and Department of Roads will move to the staff of the new Ministry, in my understanding referring to the newly established Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure. So, where exactly is the United Transport Administration? In the Ministry of Economy and Development or the Ministry for Regional Development and Infrastructure?

Pan Am destinations

An editor has reinstated destinations in Columbia Peru Ecuador and Bolivia. However, I believe these were served only by Panagra, which was only part owned by Pan Am. I would think they don't belong on the Pan Am destination page. What is your opinion? (See the Panagra wiki entry)

Thanks again,

Speedy deletion nomination of Administaff

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Administaff 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 an organization or company, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Alexf^(talk) 20:28, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:CECMlogo.gif

Thanks for uploading File:CECMlogo.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.

Proposed deletion of Arcadia Park, Dallas, Texas

The article Arcadia Park, Dallas, Texas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The subject of this article does not appear to meet the general notability guideline. I am unable to find significant coverage of this 'neighborhood within a neighborhood' in third party sources.

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Onthegogo (talk) 05:02, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Rabbi Pinto - Assistance

Notice you are very active - Would you mind reviewing Rabbi Pinto page ? A major feature story ran on Rabbi Pinto, the largest story ever written about him and the few editors who control the board didnt allow neutral entrees to be placed. Need assistance from curious non interested parties.

The article was syndicated and picked up by Globes a major Israeli paper, The Real Deal a major NYC real estate publication and Vos Iz Neas Religious news service but entire chunks of article werent included. Can we have new eyes please ?

Would suggest adding: "Considerable questions have risen regarding Pinto’s organizations finances. A report by a leading New York Jewish newspaper has revealed a “contrast between the rabbi’s lifestyle and his reputation for modest living, and questions about the rabbi’s image as a business guru when his own not-for-profit faces financial problems.” The Forward stated: “The business troubles at Mosdot Shuva Israel could be seen as ironic, given Rabbi Pinto’s reputation as an adviser to businessmen, and particularly to real estate brokers.” 65.112.21.194 (talk) 13:33, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
