Thanks for fixing Perpetua

There was a vulgar comment on the page, but it wouldn't show up on the "edit page" settings. So I blanked it, with the intention of unblanking it a few seconds later to see if it would work. It did, but then when I checked the history, it said you unblanked it. I don't know how vandalism can be inserted without it appearing in the "edit page". Anyhow, thanks for fixing it.--192.160.64.49 19:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD comments

From an edit summary of one of your edits in an AfD discussion:

removing my own comment that doesn't apply anymore - the user signed the comments

He did not. I did it for him. Apparently SineBot missed this one. --Blanchardb-^{MeMyEarsMyMouth}-timed 22:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I don't know why I gave that user the benefit of the doubt - thanks for catching that one, Blanchardb. --Dawn bard (talk) 13:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stein Industries, Inc.

What are you looking for when you patrol articles? I've listed Stein Industries, Inc. as a speedy deletion candidate under db-corp because there are no claims nor evidence of notability. Corvus cornix_talk 19:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I often will tag an article like that as unsourced and of unclear notability, then check back to see if the author adds anything. But you're right, this one is really a good candidate for deletion. --Dawn bard (talk) 14:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Windfall Elimination Provision

You originally tagged this article as unsourced and uncontexted. I updated the intro as well as expand upon the article greatly. Originally I put up a RFC on whether or not to remove the context tag, but there have been no responses in about 48 hours. Please review the article and see if you would be willing to remove the context tag. KV(Talk) 13:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you KV(Talk) 15:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New articles

Do all articles need citations or resources? My page was about a creative idea for a game which would then be the basis of research.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Personjerry (talk • contribs)

Hi Personjerry! Yes, all articles need verifiable sources. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought or new inventions. Please have a look at Wikipedia's notability guidelines to find out what is appropriate for entry here, and feel free to ask me questions here. Thanks! --Dawn bard (talk) 17:13, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, thanks.Jerry Liu (talk) 19:27, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Lowry

I've noticed that you tagged this article for notability. I'm going to respectfully disagree. As the co-host of the Bill Gaither Homecoming shows and a member of the Gaither Vocal Band, Mark Lowry most certainly meets the requirements for notability. And this is without regard to any of his other accomplishments which would further meet the requirements.

I will agree with your tag for needing citations and sources but I only had the same source that the original page (Mark Lowry) was cut and pasted from. Hopefully somebody can come along and clean this up and provide other sources.

I am going to delete your notability tag. However, if you still feel that you are justified I will not get into an edit war with you over it. James084 (talk) 18:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think you're right, and I might have been too hasty in tagging it. I won't add the tag back. --Dawn bard (talk) 18:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tim Shapiro

hi there, i was wondering what you feel needs to be changed on that page I just created. it is about an engineer that has gotten lots of press recently with his work (yep, me). I linked to artists I am associated with. I think I am as relavant (spelling) as "Mark Goodwin" for example... who is linked to one of the bands I link to... and his page is an ad for the drums he plays, and nothing else. Any help would be greatly appreciated... as it is still a work in progress (i hope) Thanks a bunch, and happy holidays. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.100.182 (talk) 21:59, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SO DAWN_BARD, why in the hell did you delete foodnet? We are REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How to cite sources, and The Question of "Notability"

I recently wrote up the article on Docta Buddah, keeping it as neutral and professional as I could. I understand the need for cited sources, but I'm unfamiliar with how to do that. Please show me how to follow through on that if you can.

Then there's the "Notability" deal... He's certainly not on the national level, but here in Roanoke, we're a rather isolated major city, so everything is primarily inward-looking. Most people all over the nation haven't even heard of Roanoke, so would Roanoke itself not be notable? He's fairly known within the city's hip-hop music community (which I'm not even a part of myself, as I'm a highly discriminating metal-lover). So I do want to offer a challenge on the Notability aspect. Other than that, I still want to do everything as legitimately as possible. Thanks. Ƿōdenhelm (talk) 07:45, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SELA

I recently tried to write an article about SELA - Semiconductor Engineering LAboratories. However, you have cancelled it. This is about a company that I work in. I have seen that there are many companies listed in the Wikipedia. Could you please explain the reason for not allowing to add it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yermih (talk • contribs) 14:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Hi, this is Creamy3. I would like to apologize for being a jerk when I vandalized your page the other day. You were just trying to help me out with some of my contributions and I acted like a complete a-hole. Please forgive me by writing back, maybe we can be friends.

Mary Lee LaBay

Hey,

Your marked the Mary Lee LaBay page for notability, but the notability section states: 'There is no present agreement on how high a book must fall on Amazon's sales rank listing (in the "product details" section for a book's listing) in order to provide evidence of its notability, vel non.' her book did make it to #2 on Amazon, which has to count for something.

Sometimes I

Hi.

You have marked this artical for deleation. Can I ask why exactly? It is a genuine music release and all the information on the page is a fact, backed up by the link on the page that I provided, so please can you let me know what else needs adding to the artical to stop it being deleated?

Thanks, Grrrreg (talk) 10:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:ArnoldZippo has got a bad case of ownership on this article, and continues to remove all improvement templates, etc. without comment. Could you take a look at the history here and see whether I'm over-reacting? --Orange Mike | Talk 15:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:InaneTwit

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article User talk:InaneTwit, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at [[Talk:User talk:InaneTwit|its talk page]]. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Chūō Line Rapid page blanking revert

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Chūō Line Rapid: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 15:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The person who added "NEW ALBUM!" to that article... that was vandalism, not an unreferenced tidbit. I've since reverted it. Lady Galaxy 23:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
