Thank you from Horologium

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed unanimously with the support of 100 editors. Your kindness is very much appreciated. I look forward to using the tools you have granted me to aid the project. I would like to give special thanks to Wizardman, Black Falcon and jc37 for nominating me. — Horologium

House of Diabolique

Please explain your deletion of the House of Diabolique page. Perhaps you are not familiar with ball culture, but the House of Diabolique is well known within that subculture. Wikipedia's own ball culture entry refers to the House of Diabolique. There is an off Broadway play inspired by the House of Diabolique. The NY Times and Village Voice mention this. For what reason was the page deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.38.252.226 (talk) 11:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your question. I deleted the page because, after 4 years, it remained unsourced and thus not verifiable. The Diabolique web site cannot serve as a reliable source and the other possible sources mentioned at the AFD were never added. Please remember that our policy at WP:V states that an article must be verified through non-trival, reliable, published sources. This is vital to the success of Wikipedia as it prevents someone from just writing a bunch of words which may or may not be true.

Bitch

Now, if you wish, I can userfy the article to your space and allow you to add those necessary sources. Then, when you are done I will be happy to move the new article back into the main space for you. This is the fastest way to get the article back into Wikipedia. Just let me know what you desire and I will help. Please, in the future, sign your comments when you visit. JodyB _talk 12:26, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I just created an account for Wikipedia and would like to proceed as you suggested. Thank you so much and I look forward to making this entry as Wikipedia-friendly as possible. One question - there is some information that I have in an issue of Genre magazine that could serve as a verifiable source for the article, but Genre magazine doesn't keep it's back issues online. Do sources need to be only online sources? Hope Im signing this correctly.. Camoprint —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC).

No not at all. Online sources are a convenience but are not required. An article from the New York Times, New York Post, Village Voice or other local papers would be very helpful too if you can find them. A quick trip to the library would help or even call Diabolique and ask for news coverage received. You might have a look at the two pages I mentioned above, WP:RS and WP:V. They will help you understand what is needed.

As promised, I have restored the article and moved it out of the mainspace and into your userspace. That means you can work on it but it is not part of encyclopedia at present. Once it is fixed up we can move it back into the mainspace. Let me know and I will be glad to help at any stage. You can find the article here at User:Camoprint/House of Diabolique. I will be out of town for part of the week so go ahead and get to work and I will check in when I can, Thursday at the latest.

The easy way to sign a post on a talk page is to add four tildes (~) at the end. The system will handle the rest. Cheers! JodyB _talk 10:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Chuck Berry & Cub Koda

Jody, I've undone your reversion at Chuck Berry, and added a comment at User talk:202.155.148.28. --Zigger «º» 11:58, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

CSD of The falling Kingdom

Yo Jody, can you have another look at the last version of The falling Kingdom and confirm it's a copyvio? I thought I had re-written the offending text, but perhaps it didn't save. Thanks, the skomorokh 14:43, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

It was word for word from the website. You may recreate it if you wish but you absolutely, positively must not take the text verbatim from the website. JodyB _talk 14:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

No, that's okay, I couldn't verify the references in any case. Regards, the skomorokh 14:53, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Old AfD tags

Hi. :) I noticed that on the article Roy Assaf, you placed the "old AfD" tag on the article page. This may have been an oversight and I've already moved this one, but in case not I just wanted to point out for future use that these go on the talk, as set out Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Articles for deletion page. (I've been asked to look at the article for copyright concerns. Thought I would stop and point this out on the way. :)) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Just to update you, it does contain substantial infringement. I've tagged it & am listing at CP. Hopefully one of the regular contributors to the article (insofar as there are any) will revise it so that I don't have to at the end of the week. :D --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Not sure why I put the oldafd on the article page - never done that before. The copyright issue is clear but never came up at afd that I saw. JodyB _talk 13:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I figured it might be a one-off. They happen. :) Those copyright issues can go unaddressed for some time, unfortunately. Yesterday I processed one that had been around since 2005. Ah, well. We get them when we find out about them. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Good work! JodyB _talk 13:59, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Bogle Vineyards Deletion

I was wondering if you could explain the deletion of Bogle Vineyards page. While I hadn't managed to add a whole lot of information as of yet, it's a vineyard in California with significant coverage, and I'd included at least a few sources so far (I don't remember exactly what I'd done, I'm not on Wikipedia all that often anymore).Drhamad (talk) 01:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I try not to be too quick on deletions but this one had been around for a month and the only reference was to the company website. As I am sure you know, that is not an acceptable reliable source. I would be happy to move the deleted article to your userspace where you can work on it and add the needed sources. At that point I would happily move it out into the mainspace for you. Please let me know if that is something you are interested in doing. Thanks. JodyB _talk 04:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
