Proposed deletion of Diva Zappa A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Diva Zappa, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern: I suggested over a fortnight ago that I didn't feel that Zappa was notable enough to have her own Wiki page and used the notability tag. No-one has made any effort in establishing notability and when I have searched for her on Google, I found little that suggested anything other than very minor claims for notability. 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. Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

All comments are valued and will be considered carefully in the coming weeks. Feel free to add more advice on my talk page if you think I need it. SpinningSpark 22:36, 16 April 2009 (UTC) In case you're wondering, the image is a smiley, just a little more aesthetic, but not as serious as the Mona Lisa DYK for Darryl Scott On April 21, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Darryl Scott, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. Shubinator (talk) 03:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC) Howdy Wizardman I notice the DYK noms are backlogged right now and I appreciate your work moving things forward. I've been trying to review stuff at the bottom of the list to help move things along myself. However, I'm a bit disappointed at waiting for ages for a hook to be reviewed, then being asked to provide another suggestion within 24 hours [1] [2] and then having it removed two hours later [3]. About ten minutes later I came home and logged on - but by then it was too late. I guess I gotta be quicker yeh? Cheers, Paxse (talk) 18:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Appreciate the offer - give me an hour to hunt for a more interesting hook/refs (why the hell couldn't I be interested in a more 'net connected country!). I agree that nobody is making the tough choices on updates and there is far too much argument and not enough reviewing and updating going on. Cheers, Paxse (talk) 19:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Ok got a decent ALT … that low lying Chol Kiri District in Cambodia suffers flooding for six months of the year, which then contaminates safe water sources? If I re-instate the April 10 subheading - am I going to break something? Paxse (talk) 19:27, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Thanks for helping to sort that out Paxse (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2009 (UTC) New image project Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:30, 23 April 2009 (UTC) DYK?

Updates noted. Hopefully this forever puts this thing to rest. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:45, 24 April 2009 (UTC) And for you! The Working Man's Barnstar For helping to combine the refs on the PIAT article in my sandbox Skinny87 (talk) 19:28, 25 April 2009 (UTC) Jerraud Powers Hey Wiz. I saw you were working on the draft. I'm pretty disappointed my Jets took a QB. That's almost always a very bad sign, it seems to me, unless it's someone really awesome. Anyway, the Power's article was deleted despite quite a lot of sourcing a while back. Can it be restored in place of the stub that's there now? ChildofMidnight (talk) 16:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC) Thank you sir. Restoring the history takes care of it. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC) DYK update DYK is due for an update from queue 4. Could you do it? The image is already protected at Commons, and I can do credits. Shubinator (talk) 19:10, 26 April 2009 (UTC) Thank you! The queue can be cleared now (or loaded with hooks from next next update). Don't forget to increment the next queue count to 5. Shubinator (talk) 19:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC) James Wyche Wow, did you actually nominate James Wyche for deletion? That's insane. You should have known that'd never go through.►Chris NelsonHolla! 02:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC) DYK for Ed Blake On April 28, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ed Blake, which you created or substantially expanded.

I sent him a reply trying to explain our referencing policy, and suggesting that if he didn't agree with the deletion to DRV. I fully believe that the article was properly deleted and I don't think there's any basis for restoring this article in its present state, but is it appropriate to open a DRV discussion for him as a measure of good-will (and not be BITEy) so he can present his references (or what he claims to have) or would that be wasting everybody's time? - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 15:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia Signpost: 27 April 2009 Book reviews: Reviews of Lazy Virtues: Teaching Writing in the Age of Wikipedia News and notes: Usability study, Wiki Loves Art, and more Wikipedia in the news: Wikipedia Art dispute, and brief headlines WikiProject report: Interview on WikiProject Final Fantasy Features and admins: Approved this week Technology report: Bugs, Repairs, and Internal Operational News Arbitration report: The Report on Lengthy Litigation Read this Signpost in full · Single-page · Unsubscribe Delivered by SoxBot II (talk) at 05:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
