Dreadhead Article

According to the Wikipedia:Notability (people) article, one of the criteria for inclusion is a "A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following" and "Name recognition" all of which Dreadhead has in the Indianapolis Colts community. The Dreadhead appears in the team's opening video, in the program and on the big screen as "AAA - Fan of Game," in addition to his weekly occurences on the big screen in RCA Dome. In the Indianapolis community, the Dreadhead has been recognized on countless occasions, and in his former college community of Muncie, IN. He has also appeared on several Colts Caravan promotional tour stops, recognizable as such.

Sources will be placed, but in your desperation to delete, the page hasn't existed long enough for me to provide them.

Try looking at this story where he is quoted: http://www.wishtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4837613

"Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this." Don't tell us to come here to ask questions and not show up. You deleted the article and yet you refuse to answer questions about it?

Nice to see that even after a month, no response. NICE. Way to go. You're AWESOME! -- User:Oshaberi 09:33, 27 December 2006

Speedy deletion

Thank you for giving me a warning that have listed Runestone U 29 for speedy deletion as "patent nonsense". There are many runestone articles on WP, and this runestone tells the story of a family. It is notable enough to have an exposition at a museum in Stockholm[1].--Berig 17:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A simple look into Category:Runestones would have told you that the article is not "patent nonsense", that Wikipedia has lots of articles like it, and that if you do want to have them deleted, you'd need to start some major campaign to rephrase policy. I've removed the speedy deletion tag for you. regards, dab (𒁳) 17:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, your many userboxes led me to believe you were a veteran editor (in spite of the "NEW" one). I did not want to sound rude, and the scanning of new articles you are doing is important work indeed, Wikipedia does get a lot of nonsense additions. It's just that in this particular case, the article clearly doesn't meet speedy deletion criteria, and is very unlikely to pass even a full deletion vote. You are still free to add it to WP:AfD of course, although I recommend you do not. regards, and keep up the good work, dab (𒁳) 18:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion tagging as nonsense and warning users

Hi, about your tagging of Vincent tulio laconte and Travis Veracka as nonsense articles and the subsequent warnings issued to the article creators... these are not nonsense articles, but should instead be tagged as {{db-bio}} and article creators should be left a note with {{nn-warn}}. -- Gogo Dodo

Cad Operator article

I note you've deleted the opening line ("Cad Operator [...] is a civilian staff position within London's Metropolitan Police Service.") from an article (Cad Operator) I created recently when breaking up Metcall into more digestible chunks. I've reverted this, as without this context the article makes no sense.

I've left your {{copyedit}} tag on the article in case I've missed something - however, I'm not quite sure why you've put it there - the article's a deliberate stub (its sole point was to stop it cluttering up the main Metcall article, and the only links to it are from the two other pieces of the original article - Metcall & Contact Handling System); it's drawn from a single non-contentious source (the MPS's own website); while it's uncited this is purely because it's a recently split article and the references are on the 'parent' article; it contains no spelling or grammatical mistakes. Additionally, almost all the text in this article was cut-&-pasted from the parent article, where no-one appears to have had any problems with it. Am I missing something obvious?

Perdikkas/Perdiccas

"Perdikkas" is a variant spelling of "Perdiccas." The spelling with k's is used by Mary Renault in her books on Alexander the Great. By all means delete Perdikkas, but please leave a redirect (I would do it myself if I knew how to do it) for the benefit of people who read Renault, and people who have read about Perdikkas in the original Greek. Thank you very much. Erudil 16:44, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

This is in reply to the message in my talk page, under the subtitle "Baptism of Jesus," just before "Perdikkas/Perdiccas." This is irrelevant by now. The redirect is already in place. But I thought it only civil to answer your latest message. Thank you. Erudil 16:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Copyedit request for FAC

Hi there. I was wondering if you could take the time to copyedit Lethbridge. It is a FAC and most of the complaints now are regarding copyediting. I've done the best I can, but I've been staring at this article for so long, my head is spinning. Thank you very much for your consideration. :) --Kmsiever 16:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rock Hill Camp

Well i wouldn't say its incorrect, its just a little one word difference really. Long Pond is also the name of the road that runs along the lake, so thats probably why I added it like that. I actually work as a lifeguard at another camp across from the girl scouts on this lake too, so Im pretty sure I know what the area is called.

I'm sorry if this is more serious then it seems. I really haven't been that active on this site. BareNakedMike 22:30, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there.
The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.

Governor of Arkansas

Hello EMT1871. Seeing as the Arkansas gubernatorial succession is the same as the Massachusetts gubernatorial succession? Shouldn't Jim Guy Tucker be listed as Acting Governor December 1992 to January 1995, then Governor January 1995 to July 1996. Mike Huckabee as Acting Governor July 1996 to January 1999; then Governor January 1999 to January 2007? PS- Would you respond at those respective articles. GoodDay (talk) 19:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just looking for anybody, who can straighten out the Arkansas Governors. Nobody at Wikipedia: WikiProject US Governors has returned my calls.

Lake/Revelation

Hang on a moment, Section 11 states "Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion."

PeterTrial.com

Hi, Im Vincent LaRocca, and have my entry to wikipedia marked for quick deletion. It was never my intent to self promote, only to add a piece of medical marijuana political history to wikipedia. I apologize for any infraction I might have done while trying to do this.

I do have a personal interest in petertrial.com, after it expired I was disappointed it became used for financial gain as opposed of that of it's original purpose, to shed light on medical marijuana issues. So I bought the domain name with the purpose of restoring back to original purpose

Trigger120

Though I feel this message will be disregarded as it attacks such a large portion of the Wikipedia basis, I wish to file this complaint over the deletion of the Trigger120 article. I feel that though an encyclopedia may contain notable articles, I also feel that many encyclopedias (at least of the type that I occasionally reference) also contain articles of an obscure nature and that it is unfair to judge something at first glance as unimportant or not notable because maybe to you it is not, however, to other members of the internet community who wish to search for such a topic as (for instance) was posted, clearly they would not have searched it in the first place if not for the reason that they thought it to be of some importance. The article in question did have a reasonable citation and some amount of effort and time put into it which was removed within seconds of its creation because the article was not important to you, thus waisting my time, and frustrating members of the internet community who might have wanted to search for such an article because of it's relevance to them selfs or their community. To the best of my knowledge, many encyclopedias contain information which one may not be interested in, however, it would not have been placed there if not because it had some note or merit for someone. Also, because this is an internet database/encyclopedia, it would seem that regardless of its importance, unless of course it is written solely for the amusement of one person, that it should remain included in the database. To further remove extraneous articles, a reasonable idea to me, would be to place said article in a trail time period during which if it does not receive a predetermined number of hits, it is then removed on basis of being "not notable enough", however until such a time as that test is complete it should remain online for the internet community to decide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ponx (talk • contribs) 01:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

under the circumstances I still stand by my original statement, however I recognize that the deletion was not your fault, and to further clarify, my previous statement is not to be so much of an attack as a suggested way to reorganize the existing system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ponx (talk • contribs) 01:40, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, I do not feel that my article was an advertisement of any sort. I have distributed music to many other people on a local level and have, as pointed out in the article, uploaded several of my albums and allow them to be downloaded for free. I would think that advertisements with intent to sell an item to a person should be deleted, and clearly this is not the case here, although it still technically would be defined as an advertisement. In concurrence with your statement, but with a bit of a twist let me pose the question: What better way to get your name out there then through a free information site? Also, because of the obscurity of the name, it would seem a poor way to advertise because one would have to enter the name of the band and it seems to me unlikely that someone would do so unwittingly. Not to carry the argument further.. whats done is done. At least, thank you for listening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ponx (talk • contribs) 02:09, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Oak Bay Police Department

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Oak Bay Police Department, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? KenWalker | Talk 17:52, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
