AFD
[edit]I've been pretty busy outside Wikipedia lately, so I didn't notice the changes to that AFD discussion. Thanks for pointing out them out to me. I've reverted the page to the version by the closing admin. Significantly changing other users' good-faith comments (anything more than correcting a spelling or grammar mistake) is considered vandalism and can be reverted immediately. In fact, under most circumstances, the offending user might be warned with a standard vandalism template such as {{drmafd}}. In this case, though, it's best to assume good faith. Wilmat is obviously very upset that his contributions were deleted, and the AFD discussion was actually pretty cold and unconcerned. For example, no one responded to Wilmat's questions. (Like I said, I've been very busy lately.) No policies or guidelines were linked in the AFD discussion, so the page's author might have the impression that we were picking on his article. I don't know if Wilmat will ever come back to Wikipedia, but I'm going to leave a friendly message on his talk page citing a Wikipedia guideline and kindly explaining why the article was deleted. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks. --TantalumTelluride 15:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Showtime203! 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. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 272 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Ami Foster - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
