Just getting back

Hi, Webwizard. My apologies for not responding sooner; as you probably surmised from my contribution history, I've been away for several months. I hope this issue got resolved, and in any event, I plan to be Wiki-editing regularly (if not often), so please do feel free to let me know if I can ever be of any help. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 00:15, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you got to the two available pages just fine. The first question is: Was Glenn Cooper deleted via discussion (in which case there should be an archive of the discussion) or via speedy deletion? The first page you linked to in your post to me is for undeletion review of things for which there was a deletion discussion. The second page you linked to is for undeletion review of things that were speedily deleted (a process generally reserved for uncontroversially non-notable persons, hoax pages, etc.). Which of these two categories does Glenn Cooper fall into? --Tenebrae (talk) 17:35, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's a deletion discussion, alright. Doesn't look like a lot of discussion went on, though, so one could appeal it at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Upon relisting, it had one keep and one delete. Not knowing anything about Cooper, such as whether the novels were self-published, for example, or how big/small/notable his companies were, about the only thing I might suggest is to make a case for notability through specific examples of what WP:RS journalists say about him. Might be more work than it's worth, but if not, go for it! Hope this helps. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Big Trouble in Little China, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peter Kwong (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 15:02, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Custom signature fix needed

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
'''[[user:Webwizard|<big>Web</big>Wizard]] - [[user talk:Webwizard|Free entrance »» This way...]]'''

Fixed signature:
'''[[user:Webwizard|<big>Web</big>Wizard]] - [[user talk:Webwizard|Free entrance »» This way...]]'''

More information is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:02, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
