Do you mean how to physically remove the tag from the page? Or do you mean how to rewrite the article to a standard where it can be considered to not need those tags? If you don't know how to remove the tags, you need to look at the welcome template that I gave you above - have a look through the links, take the tutorial, and look through the Help section. The part you're talking about involves templates. To get rid of the tags, you just need to remove the lines
{{Unreferenced|article|date=June 2007}}
{{npov}}
from the top of the article. However, I suggest you only do this once you have satisfied the guidelines relevant to those notices. If you're doing a major rewrite, consider placing one of these maintenance templates at the top - for instance, type {{inuse}} or {{underconstruction}} at the top of the page. If you need any more help, ask me again. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 16:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Great! Well done, it's certainly looking good. Now try wikifying some of the text and checking that various elements from the Manual of Style are included. You could also try searching around for a free image of the band to add to the infobox already on the page. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 18:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Wadsworth Falls State Park
[edit]This sounds like the correct title ^^above^^, so I would suggest that you open both pages (Wadsworth Falls and Wadsworth Falls State Park) in separate tabs or windows (depending on your browser) then copy any useful information from the first into the second. When you've finished that, save the second page (the one you've copied the useful content into). Now edit the old page (Wadsworth Falls) and put your cursor (the blinking | bar) into the text area. Hold Ctrl and press A on your keyboard - this selects all the text. Then press backspace to remove it. Now in the space left, click the 
button. This will place the text:
#REDIRECT [[Insert text]]
into the page. Then you just need to type the name of the new article (Wadsworth Falls State Park) in between the double brackets and save the page (with an appropriate edit summary of course). This has now created a redirect page - whenever anyone visits Wadsworth Falls they will be bounced off to Wadsworth Falls State Park instead. See Wikipedia:Redirect for more help with redirecting. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 11:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Get Happy Tour
[edit]I might do a little more work on it, if I have the time.
Thanks so very much for that message though...I've never known anyone other than myself give out things like that. Niceness for the sake of niceness is rare on Wikipedia. You truly are a charming person and a great asset to Wikipedia. **Shakes hand** (The Elfoid 14:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
You sound kinda new :P. Images are good provided we can give a fair use policy, or they get deleted quickly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyright_FAQ
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Logos
Skim those pages to see what needs doing. To be honest I always found it somewhat confusing...better option is read it and get a rough idea how to do things. Then just look at other images and see what people did to get them put up and imitate them (e.g. look at other tour posters).
Don't be afraid to revert my changes, just cuz I've been on Wikipedia a while makes me no expert! What I suggest though, is we create a section for the history of the tour - how it started, how it grew, any information on who's ideas it was, number of concerts + the dates for each of the tours. We could then shorten the opening section to leave it as a more minor introduction. Finding citable sources to reference from is a must though - I'm assuming links to official websites for the bands will have information we can use?
I haven't been to the Get Happy Tour before. I saw Bowling for Soup at Download Festival (here in the UK it's very different from the one you get in North America though) and Army of Freshmen were on the supporting bill when I saw Reel Big Fish at my local uni (only about 400 people - it was tiny and I was at the front!). I must say I found Freshmen a bit boring, but I loved Bowling for Soup. (The Elfoid 16:09, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
Oh and I just thought of one final point: If you work on providing a way we can use images, and providing any information on the tour's history (find out if the bands added to the lineups had toured with Bowling for Soup and Army of Freshmen before, any notable events - scheduled and un-scheduled ones - and changes to the tour as it has evolved)...I'll work on some other stuff. Tourdates, some kind of template to stick at the bottom of the page, page layout etc. I'll do.
If you want, that is. That's just my suggestions :) (The Elfoid 16:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC))
When I said you seemed new, I was thinking of the eagerness. And the way you made it seem like other people editing pages was something you hadn't quite got used to yet. You seem about right about the images thing....for Van Halen I had to upload some stuff several times, experimenting till it stayed up. It's silly.
I'll see what information I can find and give you all the links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Elfoid (talk • contribs) 18:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Salemfallscover.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Salemfallscover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 21:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
RE: Salem Falls
[edit]Sure thing. A useful link that'll make it a lot easier when uploading images that need is fair use rationale is Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. •97198 talk 06:36, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Army of Freshmen
[edit]Hey Chrissypan, the quote about the next album was a self proclaimed discussion. No magagazne interview, just general chit chat after a show at the local bar hah. 805wally 23:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Oh for sure they are, I've been supporting them for about eight years now, so I know just how random those guys can be. It's a shame that the Ventura music life isn't the same as it used to be. 805wally 02:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Cedar Hill noteables
[edit]Are you planning to create this category? If so, let me suggest that you go ahead and create it, then add the articles that belong to it. As it is now, you have inserted a red-linked category in numerous articles, which are subject to deletion. A second point: When you refer to "Cedar Hill", are you referring to the cemetery? If so, the category should not be "Cedar Hill noteables". That sounds like people from a town, Cedar Hill. Perhaps "People buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery". Ward3001 (talk) 18:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Please rename. It's too misleading. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 18:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Copy format of Category:Burials at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale). Suggest Category:Burials at Cedar Hill Cemetery (Hartford) or Category:Burials at Cedar Hill Cemetery (Hartford, Connecticut) (there seem to be a lot of Hartfords). -- roundhouse0 (talk) 18:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- That sounds fine. Please rename. Otherwise I plan to nominate category for deletion as misleading. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 18:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- See WP:CFD to rename. And thank you, I'm relaxed. Ward3001 (talk) 18:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
List of NHLs in CT etc
[edit]Hi Chrissypan, saw your note at Talk page of List of National Historic Landmarks in Connecticut. It would be great if you would take pictures and help develop the list-article!
By the way, I just quickly browsed your contributions, and noticed Image:CedarHillPyramid.jpg. It's really a very nice pic, but I notice the date recorded is wrong, i bet you meant October 2007.
Also I think that picture was uploaded within the English Wikipedia. If you will be creating more pictures, it is preferable that you upload them to Wikimedia Commons, instead. From there they can be linked to just the same, and they are available to other wiki projects, and it will save time of others who might move your pics to there, and i think there are other reasons why that is preferred, too. To start on Commons, you need to open an account there too (use same name Chrissypan). Then it is easy to upload there, just click "Upload now" at left.
Also, please visit WP:NRHP and feel free to ask any questions at its Talk page. You'd be very welcome to join up, too. And please feel free to announce your new photos of NRHP places in the new photo announcement box on the main page. Cheers, doncram (talk) 17:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again. Saw you added yourself to WP:NRHP. Welcome! Also saw your note on Talk page of Buttolph-Williams House, that you are sometimes not too far away and may be able to take a picture of that site in particular. It's one of the NHLs in CT. In case you're not clear on this yet, all NHLs are automatically listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but there are many more Registered Historic Places (which we call either NRHPs or RHPs). Nationwide there are about 79,000 NRHPs of which about 2,400 are NHLs. Take a look at List of Registered Historic Places in Connecticut. The wikiproject WP:NRHP addresses all of them, but I and some others have been focussing on the ones that are further designated NHLs. We are about 90% of the way towards creating an article for each one of the 2,400 NHLs, and have at least one photo for about half of them. For many we have only old black and white photos provided by the Historic American Buildings Survey--and i am just adding notice to its article that one is available for Buttolph Williams--but for those we certainly also would like recent, color pics. Pics of the whole house, and a pic or two of any interesting outside details, and inside pics too if possible, would be all be great to get and to enable expansion of the article. doncram (talk) 23:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
reg your article
[edit]Thanks for your note! The article looks great now. I probably jumped the gun on this one, but the initial version that I saw presented no context for keeping the article and hence the tagging. Best of luck with the article. Prashanthns (talk) 15:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
RE: A little help?
[edit]"Would you know to revert the vandalism back to the previous version by the user named Ashton?" Not quite sure I understand. Please explain further. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 18:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- I reverted it. If you look at the page history and click the most recent diff, you can undo that by clicking undo, but only on the most recent one. If there have been other edits after that, it won't work. You can revert a string of edits as long as you include the most recent one by viewing "compare selected versions" to include all of them, then click undo. Don't know if this makes any sense. I'm in a bit of a hurry. Ward3001 (talk) 18:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Since all evidence points to the fact that Hartford & New Haven Railroad Depot is the same place as Windsor, Connecticut (Amtrak station), I've tagged both articles to be merged with each other. ----DanTD (talk) 03:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
- If you don't mind, I'd like to make that merger to Windsor, Connecticut (Amtrak station) soon, and convert the talk page on the Hartford & New Haven Railroad Depot from Stub to Redirect. ----DanTD (talk) 02:41, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:SongsoftheHumpbackWhaleJodiPicoult.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:SongsoftheHumpbackWhaleJodiPicoult.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:23, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chrissypan,
Thank you very much for all your hard work contributing to Wikipedia, including for creating the article on Arnold Bresky. It has lots of useful information on him and his "Brain Tune Up" program. It has a good summary of the program and its nine points. Most of the nine seem like good ideas that people of all ages–not just senior citizens–can benefit by following.
But know that the reward for a job well done is two more jobs. :) Here's one feedback: Making the article less advertising-like (e.g. removing things like "astoundingly" would improve it. Also, I'm not so sure that good brain health requires one to drink such a large amount of water as Dr. Bresky recommends. So I've added some more {{citation needed}} and some {{MEDCN}} tags.
A tip: Maybe the best way to deal with some of the {{citation needed}} on assertions where you can't provide an inline citation (clickable footnote) is to remove the sentence containing the assertion. The {{MEDCN}} tags are tricky to deal with: see WP:MEDRS. You may be surprised how strict Wikipedia is on what is, and is not, considered a "reliable medical source".
By the way, if I may ask:
- Do you have any connections to disclose: for example, do you have any financial self-interest in any way to Dr. Bresky or his program?
- How did you find out about him and his program?
If you could please reply on my talk page, it would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Using inline citations instead of general references
[edit]Hi Chrissypan. Thank you for all your contributions. You like to use general references: a simple list of references at the end of each article. The problem with general references is that there's no easy way to find out which reference supports which points in an article. Instead, may I suggest that you use inline citations with footnote markers. That way, for any given sentence, it's easy to find out which reference supports that sentence. See Wikipedia:Citing sources#Inline citations for instructions on how to add inline citations to Wikipedia. Cheers, Unforgettableid (talk) 01:20, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
March 2013
[edit]
Hello, Chrissypan. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people or things you have written about in the article Arnold Bresky, be careful. People close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may make them mistakenly add overly-flattering or overly-disparaging content. So please read our plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Here's a partial summary of its advice:
- Be transparent about your conflict of interest.
- Do not edit articles about yourself, your business, or your competitors.
- Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or create a draft in your user space.
- Your role is to summarize, inform and reference — not to promote, whitewash, or sell.
- If writing a draft, write without bias, as if you don't work for the company or personally know the subject.
- Have us review your draft.
- Work with us and we'll work with you.
Please read the whole guide. It explains how to perform the above seven steps, and provides more advice. See also our policies on conflict of interest, neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography, which everyone must follow.
Thank you. Unforgettableid (talk) 02:23, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Unforgettableid. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Some of your contributions to Arnold Bresky and Teflon Don (rapper) seemed less than neutral to me, so I edited or tagged them. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Unforgettableid (talk) 02:24, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Arnold Bresky, but we cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Unforgettableid (talk) 02:26, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

[edit] Hello. This message is to inform you that an article that you wrote recently, Ray White (boxer), has been tagged with a notability notice. This means that it may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Please note that articles which do not meet these criteria may be merged, redirected, or deleted. Please consider adding reliable, secondary sources to the article in order to establish the topic's notability. You may find the following links useful when searching for sources: "Ray White (boxer)" – news · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images. Thank you for editing Wikipedia!

Speedy deletion nomination of Ray White (boxer)
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Ray White (boxer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Unforgettableid (talk) 17:19, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
The article Ray White (boxer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Article seems to make no assertion that the subject meets the criteria listed at WP:ATHLETE. Plus, article was written by Chrissypan (t·c) , who has already another of her articles deleted due to CSD category G11. (Her article about Arnold Bresky, another Ventura County resident.)
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your message to me
[edit]I just now saw that you wrote me a message in March about some contributions attributed to me about a rapper named Teflon Don and the implication is that I may either be him or be affiliated with him and therefore can not/should not edit his page. Not only am I not this rapper, but I've never heard of him and haven't done anything to his wikipedia page. The best conclusion I can come to is that perhaps I left myself logged in at a public computer and someone else did it? Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrissypan (talk • contribs) 13:25, 22 August 2013
- Maybe I wrote to you when I actually meant to write to another user. I apologize. About the pages you have created: Many of them are fine, but many of them don't meet the guidelines summarized at WP:42. If you want to create any biographical article in the future, may I suggest you first ask at WP:N/N whether or not the sources you have found are enough. If it prevents you from writing even one article which gets deleted, then it will save you from deep disappointment. Kind regards, —Unforgettableid (talk) 01:50, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
