Mark Simone

Thanks for your comments. I hope you'll help me in keeping an eye on the page, as vandals are reinserting PR and Advertising, as well as blanking the Talk Page at will. Eleemosynary 15:58, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out the Mark Simone Talk page for some telling comments by a particularly incensed vandal. It's good for a laugh. Cheers. Eleemosynary 07:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BenH

You are reciving this message because you have been involved in a dispute with BenH before. Due to some currently ongoing disputes with this user, I invite you to check out Wikipedia:Requests for comment/BenH. —Whomp [T] [C] 01:21, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's obvious BenH has no intention of responding to the RfC ... as someone who's had to fix at least two of his "edits," I'm under the assumption that he's under a community ban. Hoping to get it formalized. Would appreciate your support ...Blueboy96 21:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think everyone's favorite TV AFD nominator/puppetmaster is back. Look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Angela Russell (second nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Irv Weinstein. Kirjtc2 14:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My edits were meant to remove the non-factual entries

"It faces stiff competition from New York City classic rock station WAXQ, which is viewed by many as the superior station." does not belong in an "encylopedia".

Ratings on Long Island prove otherwise. Since you can't reprint the actual numbers, you could at least elude to the fact that the station is the highest rated Rock station on Long Island and has been for years.

WBAB is also not "known for" it's heavy play of Pink Floyd. I would say that it's known for its dedication to the Long Island community. I would like to see an entry highlighting the station's extensive charity and fundraising work.

Also, there is no ongoing investigation into the signal hijacking. That should be updated.

Please just make the entry unbiased. It's obvious that you are writing this with a bias towards Q. Your personal feelings could undermine the integrity of Wikipedia, if you're not careful.

Might need to keep an eye on J10254g

I dont know whats up with this guy, but he hit up quite a few other pages of arenas and stadiums with made up nicknames, incorrect nicknames, or wrong names for arenas or stadiums. Figured I would say something to you since you had caught one of his edits, and I had to undo a few of his edits myself. Whammies Were Here 03:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:B103.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:B103.gif. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I just wanted to say a few things

1. You might want to delete "Taking Care of" Old messages from like I don't know '06, and '07!

2. If you're a "Road Lover", why aren't you adding info anymore, or....?

3. Do you know where a artcile about the suffixed symbols listings (like A=Alternate, B=Bypass, - those kinds...) as of the Continent (North America), Country (USA), or State (NY, PA, etc.)

4. Do you know why there isn't a list of junctions on the USA Routes like U.S. Route 20 at the link:[[1]] ?

5. Can you reply on my talk, for these Q's?

2009 in television

Those programs were copied as-is from 2008 in television; so, in answer to your question, "2008 in television" says they're ending. Whether or not they actually are, I couldn't tell you. Sahasrahla (talk) 11:37, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You never know, whoever put them on the 2008 page could have been vandalizing. I don't follow TV news closely enough to know, though. Sahasrahla (talk) 22:32, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's kind of embarrassing... First Kennedy and Byrd, then Wicker, now Boxer... Who will be the next? Can't we do anything against this? Cassandro (talk) 00:31, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do NOT remove Jenna again without a RELIABLE source that she is not with TNA anymore. Doing so will be considered vandalism. TJ Spyke 01:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello ErikNY! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Pam Oliver - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Mike Patrick - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Fran Healy (baseball) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Speedy deletion nomination of Phil Mushnick

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hula hooping

Is this factoid in Hula hoop true? "An early duration record for the hula hoop was set by 11-year-olds Paulette Robinson, Charles Beard and Patsy Jo Grigby in Jackson, Mississippi lasting 11 hours and 34 minutes (August, 1960). The event was sponsored by radio station WOKJ."[2] The source you cited doesn't mention this, and I can't verify it. Fences&Windows 18:13, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
