Clark County, Arkansas

You reverted my edit of this article without any justification or comment. If you have any justification for labelling lynchings as 'common' in Clark County, Arkansas, please make it known. I am quite willing to be corrected if my edit is in error. Until then, I'm reverting. Tallil2long (talk) 23:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Rose Wood

A tag has been placed on Rose Wood requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb-Me^MyEars_MyMouth-timed 12:43, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you believe the article should not have been deleted, you can contest it at deletion review, explaining why you believe she is notable. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

It falls under American folklore in notability. I thought the purpose of Wikipedia is information? If not, then it is a waste of time to have Wikipedia. If this article is deleted, it will be researched further, and added yet again with more information. Research articles that I have placed on here in the past, and you will see that I research as thorough as possible. Charliecow7

The speedy deletion tag has been removed from the article, as another user believes that the article makes a claim of notability. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Jane Ross (businesswoman)

I have nominated Jane Ross (businesswoman), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Ross (businesswoman). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. DarkAudit (talk) 20:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your attention. Jane Ross was one of the wealthiest women in Arkansas during her lifetime. I simply did not have the time to research it more thoroughly last night. Today I will add references which should satisfy the wikipedia guidelines. If you investigate any previous articles I have submitted, I believe you'll find that I'm quite thorough. Charliecow7

There's little use in adding the {{hangon}} notice to the article; it has not been nominated for speedy deletion. Instead, you can contribute to the debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Ross (businesswoman). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

James Black

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to James Black, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. haz (talk) 13:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So because of the ONE change I made, which was that his wife died of illness, you reverted EVERYTHING I DID? The main thing I was doing was setting the article up into catagories, which I will again do, and thanks for wasting the last 20 minutes work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charliecow7 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The edits reverted can easily be viewed, accessed and restored in the page's history. However, much of what you have added contains grammatical and spelling errors. Make sure that you check all of your edits with the "preview" and "show changes" buttons before saving the new version. You may also wish to have a quick read through Wikipedia's guide to citing sources, because unsourced material (especially in biographical articles) is liable to be removed. If you have any queries or want help with anything, get in touch. haz (talk) 14:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Under Construction

I suggest you using Template:Underconstruction to show that you have full intentions on coming back to things. That might help you out in terms of your articles being tagged for deletion. If that doesnt help you out, peruse the templates for the under constructions... they save tons of aggrevation! :) Queerbubbles (talk) 15:09, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Charliecow7

Don Jonz

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Don Jonz, 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 Don Jonz.

Hot Springs and Gunfight

Very interesting. You might want to look at WP:CITE to help your material meet verifiability requirements. The makeref tool is handy for several citation types, and creates stuff you can cut and paste on the end of sentences. Then adding {{reflist}} in the ==References== will show the sources. Details are in WP:FOOT and WP:CITET. Incidentally, you might be interested in this NY Times article. -- SEWilco (talk) 23:04, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Texas

I saw that you are creating articles on Texas-related topics. You might consider joining WP:WikiProject Texas - we can always use more members, especially those interested in history. I appreciate that you are interested in history too; sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions about anything.

Citations

Hi Charliecow7. I've noticed that you've made a lot of additions to some Texas-related articles, specifically those related to the Alamo. As a new user, I wasn't sure if you were aware of the citation policies on Wikipedia. First, be sure to use reliable, independent, third-party sources. Since so much has been written on the Alamo, it is best to use only scholarly book sources rather than web pages, except for current events, when newspapers are also considered reliable sources. The Handbook of Texas is a reliable source, but most other websites are not. Also, when you have found a reliable source, please be sure to use inline citations. These can be done by typing <ref name=mycitationanem>My citation here.</ref>. This page gives more information on the easy way to cite books. You can also look at the Battle of the Alamo article to see a good example of how to do this. There are also a lot of citation templates that can be used to make it easier to cite information. If you have any questions about how to cite sources, please let me know. Karanacs (talk) 14:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
