Sarah Garnett

Hello and thankyou for creating this article. PLease go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Garnett to express your opinions on keeping this article. Please do not remove the tag - it is considered to be an act of stifling debate. Thanks, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 04:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:09, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD Etiquette

Hello. Thank you for writing the Sarah Garnett article. I saw your vote on the AfD, but that it was unsigned. I just wanted to let you know that it's never a good idea to make an unsigned vote in an AfD debate, especially on an article you authored. It's considered poor form and bad etiquette. It's always important to disclose any bias you have, and as the author of the article, it is only natural to have a bias for keep. Please see AfD Etiquette for more information. The debate history does show your vote, and I added a comment to make it clear the vote was cast by you to the AfD discussion. In the future, just please keep in mind that removing AfD tags from the article repeatedly, and casting unsigned and undisclosed keep votes for your own article, may cause other editors to frown on your actions. Remember that editors are only human and that the eloquence of your response to the AfD process may affect their decisions about the fate of the article.

License tagging for Image:Sarah Garnett.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sarah Garnett.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

A tag has been placed on Lynn Farrell, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Jason McCracken

An editor has nominated Jason McCracken, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason McCracken and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? TravellingCari 20:37, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
