San Juan Expedition

I think all the problems of the article have been solved. What do you think? ElBufon (talk) 08:07, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sumit Dubey

Hi, just to let you know that I have userfied the article Sumit Dubey, as the user was clearly writing an introduction to themselves. I therefore removed the speedy deletion tag. -- role^player 10:37, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

You're right (re: tutankhamun)

You'right, I forgot to remove the advert tag before posting the article. Thanks for catching that. --*Kat* (talk) 17:01, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi there! That article cites a credible and verifiable source. Still CSD, or does a source bump it down to PROD? Pianotech 23:03, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

The person in question was a US Army colonel, who is unique because he is one of the few Sikhs to serve in the US Army, besides he is an author of a very important book Gandhi Behind the Mask of Divinity, isn't that enough, man  Jon Ascton  (talk) 20:17, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

King Reptar

Don't delete my article of King Reptar because it is a new band and it doesn't have much of a significance, but it will in the future and please don't delete it. It will soon be an important band and it is the first band of 2010 and they will become popular, I promise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Koshorekkidz (talk • contribs) 23:07, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy of Cloud-based networking

Just saw the A10 on the above article I changed to a redirect. I don't think A10 works for a redirect, and it seems to be a reasonable term to redirect with. Your thoughts? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:58, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Racel Albeck-Gidron

hello jimmy. as the creator of this article named 'Racel Albeck-Girdron', i had a spelling-mistake. the name of this researcher is 'gidron' (hebrew: גדרון), and not 'girdron'. i have copied it to another article named 'Racel Albeck-Gidron' which i have created. that one ('Racel Albeck-Girdron') can be deleted. can you delete it for me? or perhaps you know a way to change the spelling of an article's title? meanwhile, i have already taken care of the 'orphan' tag. thanks alot. Dardar777 (talk) 20:00, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

thank you very much. that was a nice 'move' indeed... ( ; Dardar777 (talk) 17:36, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Wikilinking

• Jimmy, Thank you for the detailed response to my questions. I will try to take into account these new criteria, although it requires in each case, an additional and thoughtful consideration. For example, after your comments I would like to remove references to the year and city in the list of exhibitions of the artist Lev Orekhov. But then discovered that these links can be very useful for those who are interested in, for example in Leningrad in 1957 or in 1960. Thanks to them information about these exhibitions displayed in the list of articles about Leningrad 1957. In short, I will try to gently remove really unwanted and duplicate links. Kind Regard, Leningradartist (talk) 11:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Rock cut tombs

Thank you. I had not found that article. The problem is, Sepulchre is quite an imprecise term. It is used to refer to the burial chambers of European churches as well as in the bible. The archaeological and architectural literature have quite a precise understanding of what a rock cut tomb is. the article on Rock-cut tombs ought ot grow to include sections on the notable clusters of such tombs in Petra, the Valley of the Kings Jerusalem and elsewhere. And I do intend to work on it, although I don't have much more time of this today. I also intend to write an article on Rock-cut tombs in ancient Israel because there are many notable surviving examples. Do you know how to change the title of Sepulchre to Rock-cut tombs in ancient Israel? It could then include the Biblical, historical (Josephus, Byzantine pilgrims, etc.) and archaeological info on the ancient Jewish tombs, as many other articles on ancient Israel do. I would be back to add the material later today or later this week.Broad Wall (talk) 12:40, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you again for your help. I do appreciate when an ediotr who knows how to make the pages work helps straighten out a page. A project that I will continue to work on.Broad Wall (talk) 22:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Glad I could help. Let me know if you need any help again; I have an amateur's interest in ancient history myself and look forwarding to reading your contributions. Jimmy Pitt talk 23:09, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

CSD tags

OK, a page consisting purely of "ma momma" proabably meets G3, but, considering the author is new, G2 might be a better choice to avoid biting a newcomer. :) Whisky drinker | HJ's sock 14:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

G2 is for clear test pages. There is no evidence that this was a test page and -- based on the user's history -- every reason to treat it as G3. Jimmy Pitt talk 15:19, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oak Furniture Land

A tag has been placed on Oak Furniture Land, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Template:Do not delete Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Why have you placed this on my user page? I didn't create the article, I merely userfied it. Jimmy Pitt talk 16:41, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, Twinkle did that without me noticing - not really sure why. Please disregard it. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:48, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

It was placed on your talk page because, as the user who "userfied" the original article, your name is listed as the creator of the page Oak Furniture Land (the original article's history is moved with the article and the redirect created by the move is credited as having been created by you). When JBGlobal (talk · contribs) copied his page back over yours, you were left as the article's "creator". Twinkle notifies the article creator when placing speedy deletion notices. Having noticed that situation, I alerted JBG as to the problem before the article was deleted, but perhaps not in time for him to do anything about it. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:31, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes, I should have spotted that and moved the message to the correct user talk page - but I have suggested to the real author that an admin might provide a userfied copy if there's anything that can be salvaged from it. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:40, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you both for the explanation. No harm done as far as I'm concerned, I was just somewhat puzzled as to how I came to be "credited" as the creator of the page, but I can see now how it happened. I suppose the way to avoid this would have been for me to have requested a speedy delete of the redirect? Jimmy Pitt talk 19:50, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, that would have helped, as a redirect from the main space to a user page is improper anyway. Admins have the option of moving without redirect, but we poor peons in the trenches have no such tool at our disposal.WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Oak Furniture Land

Hey Jimmy

Could you confirm whether my article is 'live' yet, or still a user draft?

Many thanks JBGlobal (talk) 16:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Apparently, it's been deleted because another user tagged it as advertising. You wouldn't have known because he placed the notice on my talk page, not yours. And by the time I saw the notice, the page had gone. Jimmy Pitt talk 16:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Matthew C. Harrison

I have just created the article and haven't even finished the first draft. I will be removing the speedy deletion tag, since I will establish the importance by the time I finish the article.

In short, Harrison is elected to serve as President of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, a 2.3 million member church body. Everyone of those before them in this office are in Wikipedia. CTSWyneken

Just for the record, you are supposed to ask for the csd tag to be removed. The template clearly states that the article's creator must not remove it. Jimmy Pitt talk 15:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Matthew C. Harrison

Please do not delete the article we are building on Matthew C. Harrison. He was just elected president of the LCMS. The Wikipedia article on the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod had erroneously listed him as the "current president." I corrected that to say "president elect" and then started the article on Harrison, which has been helped along by my friend Wyneken. Thank you.

First Overland

What exactly are the problems so far?

The book is clearly on Amazon, foreworded by David Attenborough, at number 18,000 and something in the sales ranking and is historically siginificant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbambo (talk • contribs) 12:33, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Based on what you've subsequently added to the article, it may well be notable, but the first draft certainly didn't indicate this, and even the current draft cites no references to support a claim to notability. Merely asserting that it is "historically significant" isn't enough, you need to provide references from one or more independent and reliable sources to support the assertion.

The fact that the book is available on Amazon is not, in itself an assertion of notability in Wikipedia's terms, nor is its sales ranking or the stature of the author of the foreword.

All of this (and a lot more!) is spelled out at WP:NBOOK, which you could usefully read. If you can add references to show notability, you may, as indicated in the prod template, remove the template from the page.

I hope this makes it clear: it has nothing whatever to do with the quality of the book or of your article, merely with Wikipedia's standards of notability.

Incidentally, when posting on a talk page, remember to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end; this will automatically add your user name and the timestamp as a signature. Regards. Jimmy Pitt talk 12:54, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Something I should have added: you need to distinguish between the book, which may not be notable, and the expedition, which almost certainly is. For example, the radio talk that you've referenced relates to the expedition, not to the book, which hadn't then been written. Just a suggestion, but you might think about turning the article into an account of the expedition (which would, I think, be quite interesting), leaving the book merely as a reference to the article. Jimmy Pitt talk 13:07, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I am beginning an article about the expedition itself. I have been writing the book article to provide a reference point for the expedition, as the information out there on the internet is poor. This is why I am trying to establish the page on wikipedia. Jbambo (talk) 14:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

If you have some time I would quite like some more feedback - I have written up the page about the expedition and left the page on the book in a terse to-the-point format - is it all approaching ok? If so, can the imminent deletion be stopped?
