John Avlon marketing his book.

Hi,

So I noticed a sentence in the "radical center" wiki with no citation.

The definitive history of "Centrism" in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date^{[citation needed]}, is John Avlon's Independent Nation (2004, pbk. 2005).

I was unaware that sales figures were kept for "radical centrist" publications, so I did some searching for a top 10 list of radical centrists books by various years (2009, 2008, 2007 etc..). Unfortunately, I was unable to find such a list.

So, I removed the sentence. Then I went to John Avlon's wiki to remove the following sentence, which cites as its source the sentence in the "radical center" wiki that has no citation!

Independent Nation has been called, "the definitive history of 'Centrism' in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date."

Unfortunately, I'm a newbie so I can't change the page. I imagine there were some "angry" edits made in the past few months which is why the page is protected. Nevertheless, the above sentence strikes me as pure unsupported marketing which shouldn't have a place on a factual bio page.

Cheers!

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Janette Luu

In addresing your concern that the article was "Long unsourced article on a subject with no reliable secondary sources", editors using WP:AFTER and WP:ATD have now expanded and properly sourced the article Janette Luu. If you feel your concerns have been addressed, might you consider a withdrawal? Thank, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:01, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the sourcing now looks much better. In light of the other delete opinion, this might have to go the distance though. Presumably it will be kept in the end anyway. Kevin (talk) 23:51, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and best regards, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:11, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Undelete request for John O'Hara (musician)

The user who nominated this for deletion did not notify any of the wikiprojects tagged on the talk page (the rock, BLP, or progressive rock wikiprojects would all cover this musician). Unfortunately the deleted page prevents me from checking whether even the original author was notified. I have over 4000 pages on my watchlist, so somethings go unnoticed (especially since the Progressive Rock project doesn't have article alerts set up). Can this article please be undeleted and redirected to the band if it is indeed not notable; there is no reason to delete the history. Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 00:31, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you'll have more luck at WP:REFUND, I am no longer an admin and cannot undelete for you. Kevin (talk) 20:17, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stana Katic semiprotection

Hi Kevin, would you have any objections if I tried unprotection of Stana Katic? I think it's time to give it a shot, and I'll be sure to monitor the article for any problems. Thanks. --Bongwarrior (talk) 01:36, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Undelete Request for Edgar Gonzalez (architect) (Mexican) request

Hello kevin, I noticed that the page that was written about me has been deleted. I was notified by a newspaper reporter who was looking for it.

I set this request for the page to be bring back, I wanted to update some info about it, (some recent mayor jurys I have done as the Biennale and premis FAD), besides my webpage edgargonzalez.com for which I am very well known in spain specially has been setting as a mayor influence in the architectural scene.

I read that one of the reasons is because there is another architect (older and cuban) named the same as me, actualy Iknow him and we worked at the same office on different times Zaha Hadid Architects.

In my humble opinion, being named the same as someone disqualifies you from appearing on wikipedia, I am a semi-public figure on Spain where i Live and Work.

I hope you reconsider the deletion, thanks a lot. edgargonzalez (the mexican one)
