Footballer Notability

I agree with you regarding the deletion of the article on Fran Mérida. I am not happy with the current criteria (first team appearence requirement) of notability of youth footballers and have started a discussion on the Wikiproject Football talk page. I have only gotten two replies (wich both, in my opinion, miss my point). I am hoping for a discussion and hopefully a more flexible criteria but the discussion at this point seems to be less than heated. Perhaps you would be interested in posting a comment? Best Regards!

User owns several sock-accounts, and has much connections to several sockpuppets. this might be interesting? He is also did some rather useless edits, and marked several articles for blocked users for deletion, without even watching sources. He also triedv to change his own RfA, months ago. here, connections with the vandal Murlock can bed found. I think, you'd better ban the user indefintelt now; he has got away with it to often. block him indefinetly, and protect his talk-page, so that he cannot svae his ass this time. Just the way you blocked Haggawaga - Oegawagga aswell. Randalph P. Williams 11:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted image

Hi Ugen64, I uploaded an image and it was deleted on the premise that it was unused, however it was being used in a very normal appropriate manner. The image was File:Mykinda.jpg/Image:Mykinda.jpg and was deleted by User:^demon (here's the deletion listing). Another matter is that the deletion wasn't nominated, leaving no chance for editors to debate prior to its deletion (though I don't know what the administrator rules on the subject are). Could you please restore this removal and reinstate the image (if it can't be done, I can re-upload it). --linca ^linca 05:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for swift response. It was in use on "My Kind of Scene" (the link remains there to allow it's speedy restoration). The title "mykinda" is because the song was entitled "My Kinda Scene" for the M:I 2 soundtrack. --linca ^linca 05:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

C.W. Schultz Deletion

Hi Ugen64,

I created an article for the author of Yeval, and it was deleted while I was in the process of updating it. I am doing my best to come up with sources. Although I understand this author may not be "notable" quite yet, the fact that he has a novel available at bookstores doesn't mean anything? Should he not get at least a stub?

I request that you restore this article and give me a week to build a better article out of it. I understand, and agree, that Wikipedia is not a "crystal ball". But it is difficult for me to build an article on someone when I get deletion notifications every time I try edit the article. I apologize if my way of building a wikipedia article is unusual, but I'm still learning. Please give this article immunity from deletion, just for the time being. Thank you. YevalPro 05:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete tag on Diego De Souza Gama Silva

You're right, that is notable. I was unaware of that criteria; my profuse apologies! Have a great day, and thanks for informing me! =David^(talk)_(contribs) 06:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell, bro?

You deleted the Devon Ford page (factual, not attack) and I don't know why. What if I deleted your stubs, huh? How would you like that?

I had a link to the website that sold his porn video (http://www.hotstuds.com/model_details.php?model_id=171&nats=) furthermore, I know him personally. I think you should choose words wisely before you insinuate that I'm childish. Some more snobby wikipedia editors have been known to belittle other (well-meaning) editors whom they mistake for vandals.

Lots of other adult film actors of whom I've never heard have articles on here. I'm not so much upset that you deleted my article because the notability was unclear. I do, however take offence at your condescending tone. If you could please tone that down a notch that would be great. This is everyone's encyclopedia.

Childish... snobbish... two different things. (I suppose I can be rather childish, can't I.) I apologise for any unencyclopedic content I may have inadvertently added to wikipedia and look forward to continuing my work on improving the English Wikipedia. I just wish that my first article would have stayed up... I was really proud to have an article.

Minorities in Country Music

I didn't see the article before it was deleted, but I'm wondering about what it said, in that it's unusual to see a decision made so quickly after a nomination. Was it overtly racist? I write because I'm in the radio business, and one of the only problems that I have with country music is its lack of diversity. The same could be said, of course, for heavy metal. Anyway, just curious about what made this one such a quick delete. Please respond when you can. Thanks Mandsford 23:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Liftarn

I realise what you're saying, but I'm not convinced that a block would have helped the situation. Liftarn is a very-long term user with a long history of decent edits (he actually, if I remember, pretty much mediated an edit war I was involved in as a newbie), and this edit war is messy on all sides. From the diffs I saw, Zora had been edit warring just as much as he had, and I dare say that Dbachmann had been more uncivil. Heck, I think I'd have been moved to incivility if some of the things I saw from him on ANI were aimed in my direction instead.

That said, I'm seeing some behaviour here that definitely warrants concern - reverting edits to the RfC is not on, and I couldn't find the sockpuppets diff to review it, but if the allegation was bogus, that too would be a problem. He needs to knock that sort of thing off - which is why I strongly warned him (and the other two parties) to get their act together or risk getting blocked. Rebecca 00:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

precision

This edit was not extremely helpful. In fact it created the impression you were a vandal or in league with a vandal. It would have been better if you had spelled out what was not true, ie that the vandal in question was not warned recently. Happy editing! -- Agathoclea 13:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Firefox Delicacies.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Firefox Delicacies.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 20:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Block of 76.26.214.149 (talk · contribs)

Hi, I was making a comment about this user on AIV when HBC Helperbot edit-conflicted me. It looks to me like this is a content dispute regarding South Carolina Educational Television, and technically both this IP and User:Blueboy96 (the reporting party) appear to have technically violated 3RR. I'm not questioning the block, but you might want to notify Blueboy of the difference between vandalism and content disputes. --Ginkgo100^talk 03:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3RR?

I was under the impression that removing material that violated BLP was exempt from 3RR ... otherwise, I wouldn't have hit the rollback button as fast. Blueboy 96 03:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Firefox Delicacies.png

Of course it was taken from my computer. :-) As you can see in my talk page, I was bothered by the fair use rationale requests as well…--minghong 15:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trixie Koontz?

Hi, I noticed you were the closing admin on the Trixie Koontz deletion redirect discussion here two years ago. I've been reading up on Trixie and believe that she, now deceased, and the "author" of two books, should have her own article, and I'm willing to write it, if I get the go-ahead. How does a person go about re-opening that discussion?CindyBo ^talk 05:07, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did up a bit of a draft of what I have in mind in my sandbox here and I'm assuming we can scoop up a fair use image of her book covers from Amazon or somewhere. Dog articles aren't my usual line, but I like the story. Sorry to be bothering you with it, if I'm supposed to be taking the suggestion elsewhere.CindyBo ^talk 08:05, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Everton importance

I suppose by the criteria you are looking at we might deserve shoving down into the mid range but when you look at the club's historical achievments we certainly take a place in the upper echelons. Depends where the cut-off point is really.RoyalBlueStuey 10:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton

The Duke of Grafton is currently the only British Prime Minister whose picture does not appear in the List of PMs. It was deleted from the Commons a few days ago because it had no source information. I notice from the log that you originally uploaded it to Wikipedia and it was then transferred to the Commons.

Muhammad bin Qasim

Maybe you can help regulate the dispute. I have been involved in a protracted talks with the initial contributor of the content, even doing the devils advocate edits, but he continues to merely want to turn the page into large tracts of quotes. User Arrow740 then stepped into middle of that and simply reverts things that is all. No real constructive edits or additions at all. If you want to help break the impasse and help in making the page a good one I would welcome it.--Tigeroo 22:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I believe they are trying to show his conquest as "bad" or horror event. Typical fare for all conquest stories, good guy conqueroring hero vs. bad guy horrible invader type problem. I created a section that deals with various items and tried to integrate it into the flow. I guess it is not prominent or does not take up enough such space for them. The newer edits don't try to integrate the material into the article, or even check to see if they have already been mentioned. They have a tendency also to be large block quotes slapped under some leading POV heading. Can't seem to govern the quality of the editing here at all, tried integrating it for them as well before giving up.--Tigeroo 22:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

your deletion

"Nick Bussey" ‎ (G7 + an idiotic guideline) — you don't have to respect a G7 request if you disagree with it. Clearly the request was made because the contributor was pissed off, not by merits of the article (while I may argee that in may deserve deletion).
