NPOV

You can remove it yourself, making sure in your edit summary that you state you are removing it and why. In this case, I assume, you have found third-party reference sources, or whatever it takes to fix the problem. On a little article like that, removing it yourself should not be a problem.

If it is a large article with a history of controversy, I usually plaster the article with great reference notations. Then I put a note on the talk page and ask if the article is O.K. now. Eventually another editor usually removes the tag.

Just remove the {{POV}} tag in the article. Regards, --Mattisse 18:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boston by Foot

Hello Paxus, I have taken a look over the article and found it substantially improved since it was first tagged. Thanks for taking the time and energy to bring it up to NPOV standards; I have removed the tag. All the best, ~Eliz81 ^(C) 21:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of nuclear whistleblowers

Hi Paxus, I've just started this article, and thought that you may be able to make a contribution. I also plan to start List of books about nuclear issues. Thanks... Johnfos (talk) 06:23, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Radical Honesty

The article Radical Honesty has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Page reads like an advertisement and has no reliable citations outside of the program's creator.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. billso (talk) 03:40, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Paxuscalta! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 329 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Diana Leafe Christian - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 23:14, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Diana Leafe Christian

I have nominated Diana Leafe Christian, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diana Leafe Christian. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great. I wrote you a brief note on your talk page, will try to spiff this up a bit. Paxuscalta (talk) 15:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ganas

I believe that many of you at Twin Oaks are familiar with the Ganas community. I would like an article that merits not having a neutrality dispute tag, and I think you can help. --Marelstrom (talk) 09:42, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think i can. Ganas has asked friends of community to not get involved in this long running feud over the wikipedia page. i plan to respect this request. Paxus Calta (talk) 02:31, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Barrett Brown

Hi,

I responded on my talk page, but the short of it is that the article I deleted, five years ago, was a one-line vandalism article that doesn't seem to have been about the same person. So I have no objections to someone starting a real article at Barrett Brown. --Delirium (talk) 20:29, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Barrett Brown, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Lampoon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 11:31, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Leah-Lynn Plante, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page American (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to March Against Monsanto may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 11:20, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paxuscalta

Your name has been suggested to contact concerning The Ribbon International with your practical experience in the anti-nuke movement in the USA. There is a post on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents concerning me asking an editor last night not to make any more edits, as I just got additional information to add to the deleted items. Would you be interested in assisting? Thank you Susan Macafee (talk) 01:47, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Susan

I am a bit of a novice on wikipedia and thus did not actually see this messages for 9 years. And sadly, my area of nuclear expertise is reactors and not weapons so the worthy Ribbon International project is not something i can contribute to usefully. Thanks for reaching out, iam sure you have moved on from this set of edits, but know i got your request.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lisa Savage (politician) (September 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gbawden was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Will be notable if elected per WP:NPOL

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lisa Savage (politician) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Lisa Savage (politician), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Lisa Savage (politician) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lisa Savage (politician), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Praxidicae (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Praxidicae i have been working on it some. I have eliminated the information which could not be verified and almost all of the sources which are not conventional media. I am still working on adding new and different sources which wikipedia editors will find note worthy, i am hoping to resubmit in the next day or two. I am reviewing the wikipedia guidelines on notability and reliable independent sources. --Paxus Calta (talk) 13:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae i resubmitted it with perhaps 20 fairly high quality references. But was discouraged but another editor who said that she would likely only be considered notable if she won. --Paxus Calta (talk) 02:57, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Lisa Savage (politician)

Hello, Paxuscalta. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Lisa Savage (politician), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 22:02, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
