Feedback request for Irving Berlin

Thanks for fixing up the Irving Berlin article. You may have noticed I've been trying to improve it, so any feedback, if you get a few minutes, would he helpful. (i.e. length, balance, detail level -more/less, readability, etc.) Thanks. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 18:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Low-power FM

Nice catch on adding that text/category. Given that I went through a little while ago and made sure all the existing LPFM articles were included in that category, I can't imagine how I missed that. One question for you, though — it looks like you made some infobox edits at the same time, but they don't appear to have made a visible impact. Can you fill me in on what you did so that I can incorporate them going forward? I thought maybe spacing issues, but I'm just not sure.
BTW, now that I've started, I just can't stop creating new articles. Help! Mlaffs (talk) 19:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the addiction! It was a spacing issue—I pulled four characters of unnecessary "air" out of each line of the the template everything fits on one line even on smaller displays like my laptop. - Dravecky (talk) 19:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Gotta say, I feel a little like I'm being stalked. I create an article, NH comes along to remove a link, followed closely by you adding other links. It's like you're watching my edits! Of course, it's probably just as simple as you both having the missing article list watchlisted, but still :>). Question for you — I'm looking at KLUU, a redlink from the template list. It's a K-LOVE station owned by EMF, and it's been owned by them since the permit was issued. If EMF owns it, I'm assuming there's nothing but K-LOVE programming, and so a redirect would be appropriate rather than a separate article, correct? Mlaffs (talk) 15:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I have the missing article list watchlisted. Oh, and ignore that "phone company" van parked outside your house for the last three weeks. Nothing to see there, move along. (whistles) On KLUU, I normally create the short article anyway since the ownership can change (the EMF trades stations on a routine basis) and it's better to have a real article on which to hang the changes than a blind redirect to an article that doesn't really have all the same information. Others editors may have differing philosophies. - Dravecky (talk) 16:24, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Figured it was either that, or you had every single redlinked article watchlisted instead! Thanks for the two cents — I'll take it under advisement. Mlaffs (talk) 16:51, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: my double nomination

This is urgent. I need your assistance here a.s.a.p. before I can proceed with improvements to my nomination of two new articles: Church of St. Casimir the Prince, and Churches of Kraków. It all happened so fast. You made a comment at Template talk:Did you know,[1] which was detrimental to the selection process only a few hours later. If I knew about your concerns, I would have worked on the reference section there of course but I only found out about your review of my nomination thanks to Gatoclass [2] once the article landed at Queue 1 as a single nomination.[3] He was kind enough to trace back your comment for me; and, restore my nom to T:DYK as requested. Please see our last night conversation here at User_talk:Gatoclass#My_double_nomination.

I check on my DYK nominations about once or twice a day. Till yesterday night, I had no clue that there was a problem with sourcing. I would like you to elaborate on your comment about an incomplete hook fact. Obviously, the promoted church belongs to the churches of Krakow, but your comment says that that fact might be unsourced, quote: "the hook fact is incomplete and unsourced in the first article" ... or perhaps, it is not about that, but about the referencing for the mummies in the article Churches of Kraków? – Your prompt assistance will be much appreciated here. --Poeticbent talk 15:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

See my reply on the DYK Suggestions page. You're good to go now. - Dravecky (talk) 17:30, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Thank you. --Poeticbent talk 17:55, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I’m getting more and more philosophical about the whole thing as the time goes by. There probably is some kind of curse hanging over the second part of my double-nom called the Churches of Kraków,[4] now linked, but no longer recognizable. In any case, the most important lesson for me is to accept and let go of it with a smile. Be well. --Poeticbent talk 13:18, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
    • The work itself has to be the real reward. I create a lot of articles for radio stations and other things that are lengthy, detailed, and of at least moderate interest but they have no "hook" so I don't send them to DYK. Your articles are featured on the front page at the top of the list, with a picture, during daytime in the US and Europe this guaranteeing hundreds or thousands of hits today alone. Could the second link be more explicit? Yes, I would have gone with "one of 123 churches of Kraków" but it's a bit late now. - Dravecky (talk) 16:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
You're absolutely right about the many hidden rewards. The good work itself is the main one for me also. --Poeticbent talk 17:07, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Just a Note

I know you use the Template:Official in your edits for the "Official Website" line in radio station infoboxes. It appears the template is up for deletion. Not saying you should vote, not vote or anything, just letting you know. Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:37, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I strongly prefer not to use that template since the infobox should reveal, not conceal, information whenever possible. Thanks for the heads-up. - Dravecky (talk) 06:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Ah, my apologizes, I thought you were one of the users of it. My mistake. :) Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • 06:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
No worries and as it looks like a sure snow-keep, I'll just let sleeping dogs lie. - Dravecky (talk) 06:46, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

A Favor?

Could you take a look at KTWA and WGVV-LP? Another user created those and WCEZ and they were super sub-stub. Actually two got deleted they were so bad. I directed the user to your template and he seems to be using that and I gave the pages the once over (and used my template on WCEZ) and everything looks OK, but you always have much more to add to a page, so I thought another set of eyes couldn't hurt. Take Care...NeutralHomer • Talk • 04:58, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Queen Arwa University deletion?

Dear sir, I will be so glad if explain to me how you found this article was copied from another article? If you were aiming at some other Yemeni university article, then you are somehow right. This is because I am the one who wrote them, Queen Arwa University, University of Hadhramout, Taiz University, Hodeidah University, and Ibb University. I was expecting expanding these articles but not deletion! I can type as many words as I can but in the end I am not that skilled in English language. You can see these articles in Arabic site too. Please don't consider my talk as an attack; I need just to enrich articles about Yemen but honestly. --Email4mobile (talk) 19:27, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

You'll need to ask User:Stifle since he is the one that added the "prod" tag to the article with that rationale. I merely removed the "speedy" tag so that it would not be deleted before the time period described by the prod tag had elapsed. - Dravecky (talk) 19:56, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm really very sorry for my wrong communication. This was usually because of the first time I receive such a message about an article, and so I forgot and rather put the "hangon" template than reading the warning carefully. I also then sent my discussion to the wrong person. I hope you accept my apology.--Email4mobile (talk) 00:46, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
No worries. I hope you're able to address the issues and save the article. - Dravecky (talk) 03:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Helen Palmer (publisher) 2nd speedy deletion & page lock

I suggest you reread A7's description of "significance" as a grounds, as User:UltraMagnus misrepresented the second speedy under G4. Content was added prior to the second speedy addressing the A7 initial deletion. This means that to misrepresent it as "previously deleted content" is a misrepresentation. Thanks.Fifelfoo (talk) 00:08, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

You're correct in that the G4 rationale assigned by the nominator was inappropriate and I apologize for the error. That said, I would have deleted it as A7 and given that it had been created twice in one day still salted it for 24 hours as I did. You're free to use the time to gather reliable third-party sources that will work to prove notability and to work on the article in user space. If you so desire, I or any other admin can move the deleted article to your userspace for you. - Dravecky (talk) 02:14, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. No worries. I will have a think before recreating it from reliable third party sources, and think about how to address avoiding the A7 criteria. Fifelfoo (talk) 03:18, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Don't you think indefinite protection is a little much? Eventually the activity will calm down once he is interred or otherwise. By then, I think it would be safe. I was thinking a temporary protection for the time being. Cheers, Mazeau (talk) 05:55, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Indefinite? I thought for sure I clicked one-hour. - Dravecky (talk) 05:59, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from Asplundh Tree Expert Company

Hello Dravecky, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Asplundh Tree Expert Company has been removed. It was removed by John Z with the following edit summary '(rm prod; notable, even by wiki standards :-). gbooks, gnews, or gscholar search yield many RS's)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with John Z before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)

KCYE/KFRH

Looks like KCYE and KFRH did a swap yesterday. Someone's messed up the continuity by changing the frequencies and adding new info on the existing articles rather than moving each of them to the other name. My access is limited until much later on tonight or possibly tomorrow, so I was hoping you might be able to untangle things if you're around. If it doesn't work for you, let me know if you get a chance and I'll throw up a note at the project talk page. Thanks, Mlaffs (talk) 18:08, 26 August 2009 (UTC).
