Jason Plummer (Politician)

  • I understand that you deleted Jason Plummer (Politician) based upon a community discussion, but it is unclear why it was deleted. There was cited information on the page, and the individual featured on the page is running for Congress. I understand there was a duplicate page, but I merged the two pages. If you could please explain to me how I can get the page up again, I would appreciate it. 10/22/11 9:33 AM CST Pplasse (talk) 14:33, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Internet surfing

I'd like to create redirect page for "Internet surfing" with redirection similar to "Web surfing", but I saw warning "A page with this title has previously been deleted. 22:33, 29 January 2011 Malik Shabazz". What was the reason for deletion? Only G5? Karlson2k (talk) 10:08, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Comedy Button

How is the article not relevant. There is a huge and growing fanbase here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/243237839041724/ . Please reconsider deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.50.246 (talk) 07:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  1. I'm not a mind-reader. I don't know what article you're referring to. (There was no article titled "The Comedy Button" or "Comedy Button".)
  2. Please read User:Malik Shabazz/CSD#A7. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chester Conn or Chester Cohn?

If you check liner notes / publishing credits for many jazz recordings, the name "Chester Conn" or "Chester Cohn" appears for the jazz standard "Sunday" and other jazz standards. I'd like to know the who this person was, what their correct name spelling is, etc. It's very difficult to find any reliable information for this composer on the internet. Wikipedia seems a good place to start the thread with the hope that others can add references & get some reliable information available. If the article is deleted, this won't happen. It looks like the composer was born in 1896 so i'm guessing it's fairly safe to assume this person is no longer living. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jazzfanman42 (talk • contribs) 13:15, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jason Plummer (politician)

I was going to decline this as NN for WP:POLITICIAN, but having seen your comments on the creator's talk page I decided it would make more sense to have you look it over again. Thanks. Mangoe (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ping re AfD

Hi, MS. Noticed you !voted "delete" in the AfD discussion for our International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network article because at the time you felt not enough significant coverage had been cited. You might like to revisit the discussion: I discovered many new sources and listed them in that discussion, and other editors have listed additional sources there, too, since you !voted. Many more sources are listed there than are present in the article, as yet, actually. Cheers,  – OhioStandard (talk) 15:29, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]


MLK and Political Parties Deletion

Hi Malik:

Today you deleted the sections I added on Martin Luther King Jr. his view of both his public and private stance on US Political parties during his lifetime.

Martin Luther King, Jr.'

I understand well that it is a "hot" and in some circles controversial topic. But I'd contend that this very fact makes it relevant and makes it an issue where Wikipedia could offer great value in pointing to accurate, well sourced data, such as I was attempting to offer.

You can see many examples of current debate over King's personal views from across the political spectrum such as here: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=16500

and

Here: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/14/billboard-claiming-martin-luther-king-republican-angers-black-activists-houston/

and here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/01/08/288365/-Dr-King:-A-Registered-Republican

Politifact.com felt the issue was relevant enough for them to do an article and research position on his political views: http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2011/jan/17/raging-elephants/houston-group-says-martin-luther-king-jr-was-repub/

But if you note, none of those articles found the directly sourced information I included in my addition. We would be adding greatly to the conversation with this evidence included.

I believe the direct sourced quotations do add a great deal of relevance and sourced research to the question. Again: I'd suggest that sort of strongly sourced good data is what Wikipedia is for.

My suggestion to you is all of this attention is evidence that this aspect of Dr. King's life and views remains a deeply relevant part of his legacy. And one that benefits greatly from well sourced direct evidence.

The topic of King's political views has been one that is very relevant to our understanding of his view of his own role in the political space as well as insight into the private side of Dr. King.

I posted the research I had done in the talk section a long while ago, back in jan 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.&oldid=412039972#Martin_Luther_King.27s_Political_Party.

You'll note that then users there said:

"Seems you've found the documentation we were looking for; we can't say he was a registered Democrat or anything like that, at least from the "in the past" quote. --jpgordon::==( o )

..and then recently last week before posting to see if there was any controversy or questions about the veracity of my research, and saw none.

So could you reconsider that deletion, or explain how I could improve that section? I worked very hard to make it from a NPOV, to be purely based on direct quotes with direct sourcing...

Thanks,

Tim

Grammar

Hi, Misleading is the word I think you were looking for. Misleadingly is not a word. I see you have alot to learn about Stanley. Let me know when you are ready. Enjoy, The Gajonka

According to my Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary (1987), misleadingly is a perfectly good word. LadyofShalott 04:02, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm curious who Stanley is. I have "alot" to learn about him. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:07, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I hope it's this Stanley. I've always liked to go on trips.
Gajonka seems to have confused not only his/her grammar, but also you with WickerGuy (and it would appear that's Kubrick). LadyofShalott 04:14, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Admittedly, I know much less about Stanley Kubrick than I do about Owsley. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:21, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your revert of 21:16, 28 October 2011 - The rationale was already on the talk page

It's actually up to you to take it to the talk pages, rather than a wholesale revert WP:ROWN. I explained quite fully my reasons for the addition of material in the summary and on the Talk page.

There is an accepted definition of who can be considered a Palestinian refugee for legal purposes. I gave secondary sources for it. Furthermore it was chronologically impossible for UNGA res 194 to be based on the UNRWA definition.

Personal attack between two members for a worthless race/religion discussion

Such a pointless-worthless-boring discussion which is neither related to the article not useful for article development. please delete and prevent other people from wasting their time reading it [1][2]--Proud coptic (talk) 00:24, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
