Hypnolovewheel

hi -- glad to see you're doing new page patrol! I removed your prod from Hypnolovewheel, since I think they are clearly notable (five albums, three on a well-known label). If you disagree, feel free to take it to AfD. I added a couple of refs, too. thanks. bikeable (talk) 01:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Darryl Beamish

Hello. The reason I deleted your article is because it was an introductory sentence and an external link, nothing more. Total content less the link was: ""Darryl Beamish is a deaf mute who wrongfully spent 16 years in jail for alleged murder." That's a speedy deletion under criterion A1 for lack of content/context. It's also a speedy as a placeholder for an external link. AfD is generally used when there's a question of notability and suitability for an article. A good stub article needs to be at least six to eight sentences long, but you can generally get away with three or four. In short, anyone reseraching Darryl Beamish already knows of his plight. It's up to you, the contributor, to tell that person more about him withuot sending that someone off of the site. Hope this helps; just keep a cool head when editing, though. The title isn't blocked so please feel free to recreate an expanded version under the same title. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 15:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, it's up to the original author to supply enough information before adding a stub template. There are also a couple of rules of conduct regarding your interaction with other users, namely WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. If you have a concern, that's OK. Just don't come on my talk page accusing me of deleting your contribution out of process. If I hadn't done it, odds are another admin would have. I'd like to help, so I'll restore the article if you haven't already done so and I'll leave it up to you to expand it.- - Lucky 6.9 00:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job. Really.

Backyard cricket

Hi Dontdoit, I've changed the article to backyard cricket as this is more universal - see Talk:Backyard cricket. — Moondyne 07:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
