List of massacres

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of massacres where in response to your Split opinion, I have asked you a question "what is a massacre?" --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 19:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:LogoPastaHut.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:LogoPastaHut.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kim eng holdings ltd

hi

This is regarding the article on [Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Kim_Eng_Holdings_Limited]

I don't understand why you want to reject my article..

I have the following questions: 1) What do u mean by this company is not notable. This is a more than 30 years old company, present in around 10 countries and one of the most well-known (not to mention top) stock brokers in Singapore. It is a listed company.

2) Which part of the article lacks sources? I have already given sources for mergers and acquisitions part. The whole article is just facts and figures about this company.

3) Can i have a live chat with you or something?

Also, how come you guys don't ask the following people for sources? They have jus listed down their corporate website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCBC

I have listed down sources. What's wrong with them? How did u conclude they aren't third party, reliable sources.

Please help me understand the above issues. Help me understand how I can publish this page. I want to resolve all issues you had with the article because of which you want to reject it.

Thanks in advance for your help —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.208.248.107 (talk) 06:25, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The whole article is just facts and figures about this company." Right there, I'm afraid, is the problem. You need reliable, independent sources that cover the company. The policy is at Wikipedia:V#Reliable_sources.. Thanks for your contributions! Bradjamesbrown (talk) 10:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bradjamesbrown
I have removed all figures. And my list of sources consists of sources from Reuters, Business Times, Bloomberg, Forbes, Japan times etc. I really hope that suffices. Please let me know. Waiting for your reply. Thanks for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.208.248.107 (talk) 01:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Afd Attacks

That user has been doing it to me since I nom'd the article, and to some of the !voters since he found the AfD. Shadowjams (talk) 10:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I'm hoping- and assuming good faith here that a quick request to stop will end it. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 10:45, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hope so. It's probably better to ignore and let the attention fade. Shadowjams (talk) 11:07, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Twas not an attack, 'twas a comment. I did, in fact, sincerely mean what I said. I guess a disturbing smile will make it up to you. Jonny4026 (talk) 11:24, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bradjamesbrown, Jonny4026 has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

The article looks great! Have you considered nominating it for DYK?

P.S. I think the IP who requested the article is the same who requested Hermann Ziegner and John P. Yount. It seems they are working backwards through the Indian Wars recipients. — jwillbur 02:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does look great, but I didn't write it. It came through WP:WPAFC and I just put it through with one or two cosmetic changes. Though, a DYK nom? If I can find a hook, I'll nominate it. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 03:04, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really do much editing anymore but since you requested it I added a couple things to the article. It didn't really need much though, good job. --Kumioko (talk) 16:28, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of John F. Auer

Hello! Your submission of John F. Auer at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!

F29

Now we have something. I created the F29 article for you. I pointed the F.29 redirect to the Fokker plane, because it seems to me the period is quite distinctive- should you disagree, since the page is in article space now, you have freedom to point it elsewhere.

Are there any other redirects you would like created? You can either ask me (just reply on this page), and I'll do them if I agree, or you can register an account and have the full ability to create new pages yourself. Either way, welcome to Wikipedia! Bradjamesbrown (talk) 08:42, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's the ones I listed at the AfC... F-29 and F 29 - since various people spell things in various ways, and this is how the other dab pages are built (with redirects from the other forms) - as for periods being distinctive, I've noticed that British people replace the dashes with dots and Americans replace dots with dashes, and other people replace both with spaces. This is probably because British planes use dots and American planes use dashes, and some other countries use spaces, for their own planes (ie. F-15 Eagle (US), GR.3 Harrier (UK), Me 263 Schwalbe (Germany) )76.66.192.35 (talk) 08:46, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thankspam

Hello, Courcelles! This is just a note thanking you for participating in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with a total of 93 support !votes, 1 oppose and 3 editors remaining neutral. While frankly overwhelmed by the level of support, I humbly thank the community for the trust it has placed in me, and vow to use the tools judiciously and without malice.

Question

Are you a Tar Heels fan? Remember (talk) 14:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. Just don't hold my alma mater against me too much. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 15:03, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While I am generally an Auburn fan, I will make an exception for you. If you ever want to work on any Tar Heel related articles, just let me know. I am currently working my way through all the previous head basketball coaches. Remember (talk) 15:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Hello! I apologize for posting on your talk page, but I do not know if you have the discussion watch listed. Anyway, please note that I am undertaking a significant revision here using sources found on Google Books to add definitions of the characters as well as academic analysis of the concept in general. Thank you. Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 18:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fuck the Facts deletion

You can go ahead and delete that FTF article I created, it is probably too early, I just got all excited :D I will keep an eye on the album development and, when there is more substantial information I will post it up then. Cheers! Ibanez Guy (talk) 11:37, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries at all- I understand excitement all too well! I can't delete it, if you want, you can always tag it for CSD under G7. However, what about moving it into your user space, and when more information is available, moving it back into mainspace so you won't have to start completely over? Bradjamesbrown (talk) 11:40, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your rollback request

Hello Bradjamesbrown, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 23:39, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Get a sense of humor dude. All I wanted to do was insult NAAFA how can you be against that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.157.70.30 (talk) 03:25, 13 December 2009 (UTC) Attacking anyone is not allowed on Wikipedia.
