Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.

Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

nick studio 10

troy Doherty announced on ask.fm/troyd96 that nick studio 10 was cancelled and mrschimpf said its not good enough when troy Doherty send people from his official twitter page to there so that makes it official — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittychew (talk • contribs) 03:21, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kittychew, and thanks for dropping by again in regards to Nick Studio 10.

Source: Troy Doherty did not announce that the show was cancelled, how could he, after all he is only one of the hosts and has little if any executive influence, all he said was Yeah, I'm pretty sure [it was cancelled]., and we are not going to use this as a source for the show being cancelled. Read WP:IRS or just take my word or the word of Mrschimpf for it.

Drop it: Kitty, Troy Doherty in a way says what I have said before: as the show has not aired since September, yeah, it's more or less obvious that they cancelled it. But we do not have a source that says so. So you have to settle for a wording that lets the reader read between the lines. How can I help you understand this? Now your IP address has been blocked. You should heed the many warnings you have been given and stop edit warring over this little detail.

If you think I can help you getting started with editing other articles than Nick Studio 10, let me know, and I will help you the best I can. Why not start taking the tour over at The Wikipedia Adventure? Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 11:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

José Cordero Sánchez

Sorry for the late response, but I want to tell about this case. Talking with another users, this article ia a some "all-in-one" person, a mixture of real facts and hoax or unreal facts. It's true about the "José Cordero Sánchez" as the president of Aeropostal Alas de Venezuela, but the other dubious facts are almost or totally a hoax from July 2012 es:José Rafael Cordero Sánchez. In the deleted versions, this person was described as TV host, actor or fashion model. In Spanish Wikipedia was created with different names (more or less similar), and the editors maybe are the same (maybe using sockpuppets). And this was the report. --Taichi (talk) 22:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

José Cordero Sánchez at AfD

Thread retitled from "José Cordero Sánchez".

Thanks for the tip on the deletion procedure. I've done my bit. Happy New Year. Richard Avery (talk)

@Richard Avery:

and a Happy New Year to you too. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 20:09, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kaleido

I did read the talk page, but I obviously misunderstood. What are you suggesting I do? The current version seems to be the worst of all worlds, but I won't delete it until I'm clear what you intend. Are you suggesting that the Brazilian band is reinstated if it meets the notability criteria? Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:48, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimfbleak: The Kaleido article we had on a Brazilian act was if memory serves pretty poorly sourced, but that does not meen that it should accidently be zapped because it was hijacked and (I suppose) was deleted at The Wrong Version, should it? The version we have now on that Detroit band has been submitted to AfC, if it gets into main space, and if the Brazilian band article is not AfD'ed before, we could always disambiguate. Your thoughts? Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 19:56, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see we are back in Brazil now. The new (old?) article is unreferenced and makes no claim of notability. I would normally have speedied it, but in view of our discussions I've AfDed instead. Let me know if that is problematic Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:08, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jim, I went hunting in the jungle of sources, but have returned empty handed to the gates of Wikipedia. NawlinWiki grapped the right bottle in the doctor's bag when they reached for the one labled A7. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 14:07, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

JMS merger with providence

Sam: Can we undo the merger between JMS and Providence? As I see it there is no concensus at all for the current article and too much info has been lost from the talk page. Can you rollback /undo / revert (I am not sure what the right term is) the change? Best.MrTownCar (talk) 17:32, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@MrTownCar: Well, Richwales's copy of talk page discussions is a good attempt to make up for one of the mistakes, but this merger has been a bit bolder than suggested in WP:MERGING. If you think it would make more sense to merge the other way to Jung Myung Seok, continue the late discussion on Talk:Providence (religious movement)#After Merging the two articles. Best, Sam Sailor ^Sing 18:23, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for response. I am not sure what the right answer is at this point with Richwales efforts in place. I suppose we can continue to work on the existing article and try to add new sources that are appropriate.MrTownCar (talk) 18:44, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
