Hans Rudolph, Inc.

A tag has been placed on Hans Rudolph, Inc. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  — Timotab Timothy (not Tim dagnabbit!) 05:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adopt-a-typo Thanks

Dear Wpollard, Thank you for adopting a typo, and adding yourself to [[Category:Wikipedians who have adopted typos]] by adding the user box. This is still a fledgling program, and category, and therefore every added member adds much needed credibility. Majestic PyreMy Speech Bubble 22:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dissertation

Is your dissertation online? I noticed the Fort Aubrey article, and I'm curious because I wondered if it could be useful for pages such as the redlinked Bear Creek Redoubt in Clark County. Nyttend backup (talk) 18:26, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but there's no need to go to the trouble. I'm in grad school, so I have tons of papers sitting around already, including some information that I'll use for Wikipedia if I ever get the chance: I'd likely not have time to use it if you sent it. Thanks for the offer! Nyttend (talk) 11:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative

Hi Wpollard,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference.

Upcoming Wikimedia events in Missouri and Kansas!

You're invited to 3 exciting events Wikipedians are planning in your region this June—a tour and meetup at the National Archives in Kansas City, and Wiknics in Wichita and St. Louis:

Kansas City
Saturday, June 16, starting at 9 a.m. — National Archives in Kansas City
  • This full-day event will include a tour of the facility; presentations from National Archives Wikipedian-in-Residence, Dominic McDevitt-Parks, and Exhibit Specialist, Dee Harris; and time in the research room to work on projects. The focus of the projects will be scanning, writing articles, transcribing, or categorizing images on Commons.

    Wikipedians from St. Louis and elsewhere in the region are encouraged to make a day-trip of it and come to Kansas City for this special opportunity!

And two local editions of the Great American Wiknic, the "picnic anyone can edit." Come meet (and geek out with, if you want) your local Wikipedians in a laid-back atmosphere:

Wichita
Saturday, June 23, starting at 1 p.m. — Central Riverside Park
  • Join the 1st annual Wichita Wiknic: The Sunflower State blooms Free Knowledge!
St. Louis
Saturday, June 23, starting at 11 a.m. — Forest Park Visitors' Center
  • Join the 2nd annual St Louis Wiknic: The Gateway to the West is now The Gateway to the Wiki!

  • Start/finish the article.
  • Move the article into your userpage.
  • Mark the article as {{G7}} if you created it in mistake.

What I usually do these days when I create an article is create the new article with no information. Next, I copy text I have written from my sandbox and, finally, I add categories. I have been doing this, because I was moving articles from my workspace, which leaves many unneeded redirects. Also, I had several instances of people making article changes before the article was moved from my workspace. Hope this clarifies what happened with this article.Bill Pollard (talk) 21:43, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bartow Regional Medical Center, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Health Management Associates (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

disambiguation pages

I reverted your last three edits to Mirror Lake because they added entries which do not lead to an article about Mirror Lake. That page is a disambiguation page which is meant to help readers find the article they are looking for.

I have encountered this situation myself trying to balance encyclopedic thoroughness with Wikirules. The result is Oregon-specif articles like Lost Lake (Oregon). Possibly you might want to create a Florida-specific article like that which is not a disambiguation but a geographic-based article? —EncMstr (talk) 07:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and Politics

Dear Wpollard,

We are a team of social scientists conducting research on collaboration among Wikipedians and would love your input. We have prepared a very short survey (it takes just a few seconds to a few minutes) that asks about your political preferences and if you had any experiences collaborating with editors with similar or different preferences. Please fill it out here:
