Perhaps you might wish to revisit the article. Some of us others had far better luck in our research into sources. As what you first nominated has become THIS, I might ask that you even consider a withdrawal. Best, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 11:11, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the note. I've responded on the AfD. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:44, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

And thank you for the withdrawal. Sometimes with my google-foo I get lucky. Best, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 19:38, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Crunchy Black

Hello ConcernedVancouverite. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Crunchy Black, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: As a member of a notable group, he passes the criteria for A7. AfD might be a better idea. Thank you. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:53, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the note. I've gone ahead as you suggested and opened the AfD. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 22:14, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

As you may have guessed by the ugly bolding, it's all userscripts ;) Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:05, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

BLP prod of Sir Ralph Wedgwood, 4th Baronet and Anthony Galsworthy

I have removed the BLP prod tags you placed on Sir Ralph Wedgwood, 4th Baronet and Anthony Galsworthy, as per policy the BLP prod tag can only be added to an article if it "[contains] no sources, whether reliable or not, and in any form (references, external links, etc.), which support any statements made about the person in the biography" (emphasis mine). Both articles had at least one source, albeit unreliable, at the time you tagged them, and in fact someone had removed a {{BLP unsourced}} tag from the Galsworthy article at the time you tagged it ([1]). Compliance with policy is the only reason I did this; I have no prejudice against opening a regular prod or AfD for either of these articles. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 19:01, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I had always read the policy as requiring reliable sources. But I see the details further down now that say any sources. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 19:04, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Daniel Torre

I added some references to the Daniel Torre article you put for deletion. The user who made the article is most likely the actual player. Spongie555 (talk) 03:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I've removed the BLPPROD. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 04:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Show some more judgement, please

Tagging George Taylor (botanist) as of questionable notability isn't very helpful. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, knighted, and director of Kew Gardens. See his obituary in The Independent. It's no wonder Flying Fische is getting annoyed. Fences&Windows 22:42, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your note. I will not comment on another editor's motivations for their behaviours as I think that is inappropriate to do and would only be a guess without a thorough understanding of the individual, their life, their stress sources, life challenges, and their passions. I prefer to focus on the content of the article when discussing tags and citations. The article, as written when I added the notability tag, was citing only two sources, one of which was original research, and the other of which was a source which relies on self-provided data. The obituary which you refer to was not in the article, if it was, I would have not applied the notability tag. I have now added a reference to the obit, which is in fact a reliable source and not a self-reported source or original research and the tag no longer applies. Without having applied that tag, I imagine that obituary would not have been discovered and subsequently added to the article, and the article would have remained questionable sourced.ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 23:47, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Question

I'm sorry,but I have to ask you,why did you change Peter Falk's ethnicity back to Polish?His great-grandfather,Miksa Falk was Hungarian,born and raised there.It's even on Peter Falk's page right after his ethnicity.So that makes him part Hungarian also.How is that Polish?Even if he was part Polish the info on his ethnicity is FALSE.Then he isn't JUST Polish and Russian.This needs to be cleared up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.184.135.148 (talk) 05:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Peter Falk

Here is the link from imdb's site.I believe they're more accurate regarding to Peter Falk's ethnicity than people who keep changing his Wikipedia profile and misleading people. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000393/bio

IMDB is not considered a reliable source as it is user generated. I changed it to what the article that is cited [2] states. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:06, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Barbara Morgan, Willard D Morgan

Hello, we are trying to very carefully keep the whole wiki completely documented as there is an abundance of material. I am having a copy editor at work review, and make some suggestions for us. If you have any specific suggestions we would be happy to receive the criticism. I am rathe a new user, and didn't know about tag issues. Sorry for the error. Nils —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nmorgan65 (talk • contribs) 16:08, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "we" exactly. Are there a group of you editing the Morgan articles? Do you have an affiliation with the subjects other than sharing a last name? My biggest suggestion would be to read over the conflict of interest guidelines and be very careful to follow them. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:05, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

I am affiliated through genes. They are my grandparents. My cousin and I were adding material to recognize areas not originally in the earlier Barbara Morgan Wiki, that have been widely published, and to create a base wiki for Willard Morgan, as the levels of public, and published recognition continues to grow. We are being very careful to have complete attribution. Again, I am going to have a non family member at work review, and make suggestions based on guidelines. We certainly look forward to potential additional facts being added through the wiki public process.

Re: "Question about using TW to report sockpuppets"

I don't use TW, so this is only an assumption on my part, but is you know (or think you know) the account is a sock, then realistically, you know who it's a sock of. Perhaps you should use the name of the person whose sockpuppet it is as the first entry, instead of the name of the sock.

Just a thought, but it makes sense. HalfShadow 16:09, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. I should clarify the question. It is a technical question about how to use Twinkle to report socks correctly, as twinkle seems to only ask for a list of the socks, but then it takes the first one and lists it twice. May I ask what tool you use to report socks if you don't use TW? Perhaps there is a better/easier way? ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:07, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
