Speedy deletion of Project iX

Really? Heaps of pages with much less info (stubs) don't get deleted -_- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Name97 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Your page was not deleted for having too little information, but for failing to indicate why the project merits inclusion at Wikipedia. And I didn't delete it, I merely proposed that it be deleted. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:02, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

my contribution should not be deleted

sir even though my article is too short but it is fact and contains factual data and it is regarding a project carried out by world bank and people should know this. results and other updates can be added from time to time or on its completion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ROHITSONURAJPUT (talk • contribs) 14:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Sir,

Your article has been nominated for deletion. Any thoughts you have on the subject should be directed to the deletion discussion. Comments you make to me privately on my talk page will not be seen by others, and will not be considered in evaluating whether the article should be retained or not.

Crashplan

Hey Wikidan61. In 2009 you commented on the Talk page of CrashPlan regarding an AfD / COI discussion. I wanted to let you know about this discussion.

I'll be helping their PR agency create an article on Code42 and probably improving this one as well. My approach is permission-based, so we won't post anything to article-space without asking for a review by an impartial editor.

I was poking around to see if we should keep two separate articles on Code42 and their product Crashplan or keep them separate. I would normally merge, but am partial to maintaining the status quo. Corporate 19:22, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Wikify tag

Hi there! {{Wikify}} has recently been deprecated in favor of more specific tags, which are listed at Template:Wikify#See_also. When tagging an article that needs more links, for instance, please use {{underlinked}}. (If there are no links, then use {{dead end}}.) Thanks! Guoguo12 (Talk)  02:05, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

GOCE September 2012 drive wrap-up

Guild of Copy Editors September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Disambiguation link notification for October 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aesthetics of nature, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Archibald Alison and Francis Hutcheson (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.

Lauren aquilina

Is it possible to correct the capitalisation for 'aquilina' ? If not, deletion looks fine and I'll ask the editor if they want to put up a new article with refs/sources and correctly titled Yorkshiresoul (talk) 13:08, 7 October 2012 (UTC) -- I sorted it, I'll try to find some decent references for the article. Also, I have provided references, although Aquilina is a newly emerging musician and there isn't a whole heap written about her as yet Yorkshiresoul (talk) 13:48, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Totally confused but you seem helpful :-)

Hi WikiDan I really need some help. I am trying to create an article on the company Kelway which you have been kind enough to send me some tips on. I can't get my head round all the different things I need to do so I'm trying you one last time in the hopes you can help me :-)

I have created an article which is saved in my sandbox (is that right?) as well as on my talkpage. I'm not sure I replied to you properly though - I was hoping someone could help me work out if what I have written is ok to be turned in to an article. Have included six links to external articles about or including Kelway. Hopefully this will satisfy notability requirements....

Thanks in advance!

Counter-vandalism

Thanks so much for warning that guy for saying I was on last warning for vandalism. Phew! I thought I was done for. 122.106.52.125 (talk) 00:38, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

User

Hi mate, I see you've been dealing with User:Titanic225 and have issued a couple of warnings. Thought I should point this one out. This is also very strange. I suspect he's WP:NOTHERE to be constructive but thought I might raise it with you first before sending it to AN/I. Thoughts? Stalwart111 (talk) 03:45, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Not sure if he is being deliberately disruptive or just overly enthusiastic without bothering to actually read the policies and guidelines he is warning others about. Since he has deliberately avoided entering into a dialogue about the warnings I have given him, I suspect his disruptive behavior is deliberate. In either case, he is doing the project no favors. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Again, without responding to any of the notes on his talk page, today's edits have included a bitey level 4 warning (which you picked up on) which related to this edit which clearly (in my view) doesn't have anything to do with vandalism. The editor in question removed a number of references for which the cite tag had been used without title (resulting in error messages). Instead of fixing them, the editor removed them - perhaps not in line with WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM but a long way from disruptive, let alone vandalism - and got a harsh warning for it. The only other contribution was to randomly prod Juan Cruz Alvaro Armada for speedy deletion which was almost immediately declined. None of them seem like blocking offences but they are border-line disruptive. I might post a note to his talk page asking him to respond and suggesting the next step will be WP:ANI, as much as I hate to use that as a "threat". Stalwart111 (talk) 23:31, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I agree that a firmer intervention may be in order. The fact that he has declared himself a wannabe admin while so badly abusing the processes makes me think we may be dealing with a troll. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 04:26, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Agree. Have left a more substantive note on his talk page. If he ignores it (and your most recent one) and continues down the same path I'll send it to ANI. Cheers, Stalwart111 (talk) 05:05, 18 October 2012 (UTC).

dont bite the sun page

yo bro, stop deleting our page. we are in the process of editing the page and adding sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fentonj5 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

First, it is not your page. Second: yes, you are expanding the page, but you have not provided your sources. Also, your plot summary is way too long (as I have already pointed out on your talk page). WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of "Guitar and Lute Workshop"

Dan, I've updated the Guitar and Lute Workshop article with the relevant missing information which should satisfy the Wikipedia policy requirements for this article. The Guitar and Lute Workshop represents significant cultural significance for the State of Hawaii, as well as Hawaiian culture. I've included references to appropriate and historical people, places, and events in Hawaiian history in the article. Please contact me should you require any additional information added to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnson.s.erik (talk • contribs)

I have removed the speedy deletion template, but the article still needs work. Most pressing is the need for reliable sources to back up your claims of the significance of this business. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:28, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

GOCE fall newsletter

Fall Events from the Guild of Copy Editors The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in its events: The October 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest is currently in the submissions stage. Submit your best October copy edit there before the end of the month. Submissions end, and discussion and voting begin, on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC). Voting is in progress for the September 2012 Copy Edit of the Month Contest. Everyone is welcome to vote, whether they have entered the contest or not. NEW!! In the week from Sunday 21 October to Saturday 27 October, we are holding a Project Blitz, in which we will copy edit articles tagged with {{copyedit}} belonging to selected project(s). For the first blitz, we'll start with WikiProject Olympics and WikiProject Albums and add more Projects to the blitz as we clear them. The blitz works much like our bimonthly drives, but a bit simpler. Everyone is welcome to take part, and barnstars will be awarded. November 2012 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in 2011 and to complete all requests placed before the end of October. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest. >>> Blitz sign-up <<<         >>> Drive sign-up <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
