Yeah, I see you still have a retirement notice on display. I suppose it's better to have you here and there than not having you on Wiki at all. Happy writing :) --PeaceNT (talk) 16:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remember when someone with the screen name Mfurniss created the Maureen Furniss and it was speedied? Well, I'll see if I can make a good article about her. I used lots of sources and I tried to get as much about her as I could. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kenneth Fowler, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Kenneth Fowler.
The main concern is that the only possible source for this article is disappearing along with the publisher. The name is quite common amongst authors, there is even a contemporary historian of the same name with 5+ published books. I worry that there may be confusion with the name, and the confusion cannot be resolved since no sources exist to confirm the claims in the article.
I contact you because you handled the Copyright permission confirmation for this article. The main author has no account, but I have also notified an editor who did significant cleanup within the last month. Sorry to bother your retirement -- if you remove the prod I will not continue to seek deletion (though I may move the page for a disambig). JackSchmidt (talk) 16:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
G4. Recreation of deleted material. A copy, by any title, of a page deleted via a deletion discussion, provided the copy is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted. This does not apply to content that has been moved to user space, undeleted via deletion review, deleted via proposed deletion, or to speedy deletions (although in that case, the previous speedy criterion, or other speedy criteria, may apply).
If the new article is basically the same text as before (not just the same topic), then you can just put a {{db-repost}} speedy deletion tag on the article. For instance as {{db-repost|Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Timeline_of_Dragon_Ball}}. If the article text is new, then you probably want to do the whole {{prod}}, {{afd1}} routine instead.

I wanted to personally thank you, MD, for leaving your retirement to come and participate in my recent RfB--I approve of your message . I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I am thankful and appreciative that in general, the community feels that I am worthy of the trust it requires of its bureaucrats, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I hope that over the near future, you will become comfortable and satisfied with my understanding of the particulars and subtleties inherent in the RfA process, and that I may be able to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi (talk) 18:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mailer, long time no see. I figured you were done for good until I fully read your Manifesto and, sadly, your RfB. I wanted to be there to support you but I was on a long wikibreak due to no internet connection. I just wanted to drop by as I seen your still allowing talk here, to tell you that although your not contributing, you're one of the few wikipedians I've come to admire and respect. I wish you the best in all your endeavors. And thanks again in nominating me for that RfA. :) SynergeticMaggot (talk) 15:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should look at the original wording and what the main supporters are saying. They seem to think that it would work exactly as you don't want it to. JoshuaZ (talk) 23:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Boeing 747-8I Large.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Boeing 747-8I Large.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
I am writing to you because I came across a problem with creating a
wikipedia article.
Recently I wrote two articles: "ReaSoft Converter" and "PDF Printer
ReaSoft". Both of the articles have been speedy deleted, because
"they seem to be blatant advertising ". However, I tried to dispute
that fact with the editor on the articles talk pages, but he/she
didn't reply or whatever.
I believe that those two articles don't promote or advertise that
products, I reviewed them several times and excluded all the facts
that may be treated as advertising. They are both of informative
kind, not promotive.
However, while searching Wikipedia I saw several articles which may
seem akin to those that I tried to post. (this one, for example - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinePrint)
Please assist me with solving this problem.
