Gamma knife

I'd suggest you look in the history, the article had been around for more than a year. Just because some recent revisions look spammy doesn't mean it should be deleted. Mr.Z-man 01:33, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Took a second look. You are correct. Restored. Thanks for the heads up. -- Alexf^(talk) 02:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ryan Beckstrom

The page "Ryan Beckstrom" should be restored... I didn't have enough time to get around to citing the the sources before it was deleted. If you don't think he is a "real person" or not an "important enough" person, first read the articles about him in the local and state newspapers that will be coming with the sources. Thank you for your time and understanding. Beck-diddy (talk) 22:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reason it was marked for deletion and subsequently deleted is not because he's "not a real person" or "important enough", but because the article did not indicate importance or significance (see the A7 criteria for speedy deletion). Please read the guidelines for notability of people. If after reading these, you think you can provide reliable sources, please come back and I'll be glad to restore the article to your userspace for you to work on. -- Alexf^(talk) 22:31, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

London

Hi, i was wondering if it would be appropriate if you could include a "Media" section on the London page. You are missing the local media such as radio, broadcasting services etc... Jonny7003 (talk) 18:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know. I don't follow that article. I guess if you have reliable sources and the radio stations are notable enough. I would look at articles on other major cities and see what they have or don't. -- Alexf^(talk) 21:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Vandalism

...How was that vandalism? 99.167.225.149 (talk) 23:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing that you had several admonishments in your talk page and a subsequent block, I think that answers your question. -- Alexf^(talk) 23:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page: Neptuny

Hello Alex, could you please do a quick check of the page Neptuny that I edited again? Many thanks and best regards, Johanna sc (talk) 14:01, 3 November 2008 (UTC)JOhanna[reply]

Looks better but still has problems. All the (TM) and (R) signs have to go. If you cannot remove them, then they don't belong in a Wikipedia encyclopedic article. It still reads like company-produced ad-copy. It does not show why the products are notable. It has no independent links to reliable sources except maybe for the IBC award (I did not follow the link to check though). It has no references and the only external link provided is to the company's website. Again, I'm just another editor so take it as personal opinion, but I still think it might be tagged by other editors as G11. -- Alexf^(talk) 15:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

McQuaid Jesuit High School

OK. I'll take your word for it as it is unreferenced. Please remember to sign your posts in talk pages with four tildes at the end. -- Alexf^(talk) 19:42, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the McQuaid Jesuit High School page Andrew Creary under notable alumni is not true. He is neither an alumnus nor actually real.

RE: User:216.54.187.180 block

I received a comment from the user, just before you blocked. I now agree with the user and have reverted my last reversion of his on McQuaid Jesuit High School. I think he was not doing vandalism, he just did not explain his actions properly. You might want to take a look and reconsider, give him a cluestick rap and see how it goes from there. -- Alexf^(talk) 19:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Alex. :) Given this (1) edits (2) I feel very uncomfortable unblocking the IP. Best wishes, —αἰτίας •discussion• 19:56, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I only looked at the one reversion I've done. It seems it may have been a different user removing this edit about a non-existent, unreferenced person. But you know how it is about schools. You are correct then. Thanks. -- Alexf^(talk) 20:01, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. :) —αἰτίας •discussion• 20:27, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Clancy

Congratulations for beating be to the vandalism on that article (and for warning the culprit about it)! --Dylan620 (Home • yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 00:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
