Doug Stone singles

I finally noticed your comment back in March regarding the discography of Doug Stone (singer). The singles table is complete as far as I know, and can be verified by doing a search for him on Billboard. He really did keep hitting Top 10 over and over between 1990 and 1995, but somehow stumbled with the Faith in Me, Faith in You singles. Just thought you might want to know.

Ben Perry

Hi, Poshzombie, I've again removed your reference to Ben Perry from the Aesop's Fables article and want to explain why. You seem not to have looked at the article's discussion page, where the continuing debate on the matter of the origins of stories is referred to. Since Perry died there has been a great deal more research that makes his statement outdated. I inherited it when I started editing the article to encyclopaedic standards and kept it there because we are supposed to keep a balanced view. I'd much rather it didn't appear, since it puts a respected scholar in a bad light; and also because it attracts equally untenable claims that go to the opposite extreme: that all the stories are of Eastern origin. In all this, Perry's reputation is neither here nor there; the statement he made has been proved wrong. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 09:33, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking the time to explain your revert. I was in fact the culprit who added the Perry quote a long time ago in response to the placement of uncited information in the section. I do not feel strongly about keeping the quote itself as long as there is some reliable citation on the matter either way; particularly because it has attracted culturally dogmatic contributions in the past. My only intention with the recent change was to mention the credential that is most pertinent to Perry's authority on the subject of fable origins, i.e., his authorship of the de facto enumeration and cross-reference of all fables attributed to Aesop. However, I appreciate your concern in placing too much weight on Perry's stance given it's age. If you find a more recent scholarly citation on the matter that would be greatly appreciated.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Emily Whitmire (fighter) (October 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CASSIOPEIA was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please note the requirement for MMA fighter in Wikipedia requires fighter has fought at least 3 fights in Tier one promoters (UFC and Invicta). Subject has only 2 fights. Please wait until subject has 3 fights in UFC then resubmit and by then subject will be notable. - pls see WP:MMABIO.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Emily Whitmire (fighter) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Emily Whitmire (fighter), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
