Reverted Edit
[edit]If you see I reverted one of your edits. It was simply you added a broken redirect. Please use [[]]
not {{}},
You did no wrong doing. Joe Gazz84 (user)•(talk)•(contribs) 00:40, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
The NY Times bit about him is his filmography - nothing about him, and so is not significant coverage. The other references likewise basically give a filmography, but aren't the significant coverage of him.
As I still am not convinced that he meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, I am going to take the article to Articles for Deletion.
Also, I *did* find the NY Times 'coverage' when looking for references, and found that it was his filmography - that basically means that he is worthy of a mention in the cast section of the articles about the films etc in which he has appeared. Perhaps you can find some decent coverage about him showing that he is more than the bit player which he appears to be?

The article Archenemies in Television has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- fundamentally subjective, dependent on OR, too often inaccurate (eg, Buddy Sorell not a lead character; most entries treat recurring comic bits as ongoing dramatic conflict. One might as well juxtapose Ralph and Alice Kramden.
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 {{dated prod}}
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 {{dated prod}}
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. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia.

Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 18:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, friend
[edit]Following up on the above, please don't assume that the challenge of the Olbermann piece is a right wing hit... Actually, at least from my standpoint, it's the opposite: protecting the neutrality of wikipedia from a right wing incursion. Unless pretty clearly political stuff like this is ruled out, the onslaught will follow. I appreciate the hard work you put into the piece, it's just pretty clearly out of bounds in terms of neutrality. Please do keep writing for Wikipedia though...

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
