Link deletion
[edit]There was no article to the links for EZDrummer and Drumkit from Hell, that is why they were deleted.
Thank you,

- It is not against Wikipedia's "etiquette", it looks sloppy, and do you ever see a decent Featured or Good article with it. I'm glad you created an article for it, that is awesome, but red links nearly always get removed. You would be surprised how many times somebody has add dead links to those articles. By the way if you don't source Ezdrummer it will probably get deleted.
Thank you,
Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 04:34, 26 December 2007 (UTC)- Wow dude, calm down. I reverted once, show me where it says that deleting a red link is against guidlines. Here is one you should look at, WP:CIVIL.
Thank you,
Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 05:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)- My apologies for not using an edit summary, but that has nothing to do with the rules of deleting a dead link. As another note, you should always revert something that looks like vandalism, that looked like vandalism to me, considering how many times that link has been added.
Thank you,

Again, I know it is stupid but some people register just to access certain pages and get blocked right away. Whay don't you create the article then add a link, that is always what I do.
Thank you,

I guess those help it to just scrape through, though it needs more third-party reliable sources. :) Corvus cornixtalk 16:59, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikimedia Stories Project
[edit]Aloha Thinking Stone!
My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.
I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.
I will be in Buenos Aires from the 10th - 11th of March 2012.
I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!
Thank you,
Victor Grigas
