Sorry for the confusion

Looks like our simultaneous editing of the Gexeloid page caused Twinkle to do some strange things. Sorry about that. Dac04 (talk) 16:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

That's perfectly alright! Cheers! --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 16:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for this awesome article :). Ironholds (talk) 11:28, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

You are certainly welcome! --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 16:40, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: May 2012

Whoops! Which did I forget to put a summary on?--(CA)Giacobbe (talk) 00:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

It appeared that you made a few changes about the singles on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (I believe it was "Va Va Voom"). An edit summary which gave indication that the single was confirmed to have been released. Happy Editing! --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 01:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Having kittens about Laura van der Heijden

Wikilove? Ha, typical of the help on here. I suggest you move your tag to Laura van der Heijden (born 1990) is a Dutch team handball player. She plays on the Dutch national team, and participated at the 2011 World Women's Handball Championship in Brazil. - the lass I began a holding page won her competition, but that's not as notable for you as this other page which you left and I have lost the patience to sort out the move and/or disambiguation.

Follow me to join the secret cabal!

Whack! --Ricksy (talk) 19:35, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

When I had tagged the article, there was absolutely no content describing the subject. I'm still a bit confused by your message.--GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 19:43, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Sorry to confuse, it was an idiom; see what I meant having kittens or [1]. I added Laura to the winners' template beforehand. The older Laura apparently played in the Netherland's handball last year, but her team did not make the quarter final stage which I found was already on the wiki when I tried to move cellist Laura's stub over. --Ricksy (talk) 20:42, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
I've tidied it up and added a bit. (Spotted the name in the list - just listened to the competition final, in fact. Brilliant performance of a fairly difficult concerto.) Peridon (talk) 20:19, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Just moved it to Laura Van Der Heijden (cellist), and sorted out the link at BBC YMotY. Peridon (talk) 20:22, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Sounds good! --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 22:57, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Laura excelled at both piano and cello, aged ten, taking her ABRSM examinations at Grade Eight. So, left the (cellist) bit off.  Done moving page(s) business, resized kitty & trout! --Ricksy (talk) 01:33, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Jerry Macaluso

I disagree that the article is written in a neutral pov. It uses wording such as the "success" of a brand which is subjective, has no evidence, and sounds promotional. It also lists specific media that the products have been "featured" on which is unnecessary, has no evidence to support it, and seems promotional.

I also think coi should remain because I have previously shown strong evidence that the article was written by the person it is about.

You also removed the notability tag, which I feel should also remain. Aside from the issues above, the subject does not have significant coverage. The article does not rely primarily on independent, reliable sources nor has it ever since its inception by the subject.

I think that what little information about this subject that exists from reputable sources could be merged into another article such as the reality show in which he participated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.231.157.101 (talk) 13:46, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Once again, the article would have been deleted back in 2006 if he was non- notable or if the article was for promotional reasons. You can look over several BLPs that lack strong sources but are not deleted. On the talk page as well I believe you could find a comment that states it is . I'm still confused on how you seem so desperate to wipe him off the grid. Please take you concerns to the talk page of the article instead of making mass changes. By adding comments to the talk page, you are likely to get much kinder responses instead of mine which must get quite annoying. I'm sure that the help from other users will get you some answers instead of arguing with me.Since you seem to be active on Wikipedia, please create an account. Thank you for understanding. --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 15:33, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Again, I disagree. Many articles pass through undetected and remain on the site for years even though the subject is non-notable or promotional. I am not desperate to "wipe him off the grid." I noticed this article as well as others one day while browsing Wikipedia, and it didn't make any logical sense for articles such as this to be part of an online encyclopedia. Non-notables who create their own articles in an attempt to promote themselves and further their careers by touting their alleged notoriety per Wikipedia. I do not understand why you are so determined to keep articles such as this alive, other than the fact that you made minor edits to them and feel that they are special for that reason.173.231.157.101 (talk) 13:46, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
I do admit that the article is likely an autobiography, but because of Macaluso's achievements, with some sources to back them up, he is a notable subject, and is why I believe this article should be kept. I have requested a few other users to look over your comment on the talk page so that you can get some answers. The reason why I said you seemed to have such a grudge because you seemed so adamant to get the article deleted without reading the guidelines. --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 16:10, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Music For Piano an Drums

Hi Gourami Watcher. I created a page for an album (Music For Piano and Drums) by Bill Bruford (of the bands Yes and King Crimson) and Patrick Moraz (of the bands Yes and the Moody Blues) simply because I noticed there wasn't an article on the recording. Most of the other recordings by Bill Bruford had pages, with the exception of this album and its follow-up Flags. I was just trying to help out, but noticed your message that the article is up for speedy deletion. I'd appreciate any guidance on what I need to add to the article to make it more appropriate. Again, all of Bruford's other albums have pages, so I thought I'd just help out with one, but suggestions and guidance are welcome! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brahmsie (talkcontribs) 17:08, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I'll remove the deletion tag. GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 17:44, 26 May 2012 (UTC)


Hallo, in this edit you removed a large amount of content, with the edit summary "Reverted 2 edits by Hrach.eminem (talk): Don't remove deletion templates. (TW))". The editor Hrach.eminem had made two previous edits, one to add a lot of text, and a second to remove the BLPPROD. Your edit reverted both of these, but only explained reverting the second. Either you meant to remove the text, in which case your edit summary was inadequate, or perhaps you used "Rollback", which reverts all the edits by an editor, when you meant to use "Undo", to revert just the one edit. I have replaced the text. PamD 22:49, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I assume that rollback was used, which was why the edit ended up like that. Thanks, --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 15:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

article about myself?

Excuse me, I have no idea what you are talking about? What makes you think I wrote an article about myself? LindaSportGirl (talk) 14:25, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Right, I hope this is not going to happen with all articles I create where a person's first name is also Linda. Anyway, thanks for your message. LindaSportGirl (talk) 15:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm sure you are going to be alright with something like that. I guess I'm just a little extra picky on autobiographies since there are so many people who do that sort of thing. Good luck with future editing. GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 03:01, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Alright then, I understand what you mean... thanks :) LindaSportGirl (talk) 07:16, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Heading Added

I answered your message on my talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BassRabbit (talkcontribs) 23:18, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I declined speedy deletion on this article because it has not, as far as I can tell, been deleted via a deletion discussion in the past. However, I also redirected it to a duplicate that the author also just created (Live-opinion Sharing)) and nominated that for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Live-opinion Sharing. RichardOSmith (talk) 19:48, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

When I nominated the page, I swore I had seen it get deleted before. Anyway, I'll take a visit to you nomination page. --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 22:26, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Latest news from: Cladh Hallan

Hallo Gourami Watcher: Please see the latest News from Clad Hallan http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/07/120706-bog-mummies-body-parts-frankenstein-ancient-science/ I will try to get the article from the August issue of the Journa of Archaeological Scienence. Tschüß --Bullenwächter (talk) 14:14, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Danke schön für der Weblink! I read when I was younger about one of the mummies being made up of different people, but finding out about the second was interesting. Thanks! --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 22:22, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

New "bog bodies" find from Denmark

Hallo Gourami Watcher. It seems that a new intersting find from Denmark will add approximately more than 200 bog bodies to the exsisting statistics: http://www.skanderborgmuseum.dk/Alken_Enge-English_version-1070.aspx I have to go through the article and trying to start an article at DEWIKI. Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Tag - Viele Grüße aus Deutschland --Bullenwächter (talk) 18:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll be sure to add this to the list I have :-) --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 19:30, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, you submitted Nebula868 for speedy deletion under criterion WP:CSD#G4 as a re-created article previously deleted by AfD, but I could not find a prior AfD for this article, just speedy deletions. Did it go through AfD under another title? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:09, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I guess I thought that a speedy deletion was included under that type of deletion nomination. I must have gotten a little confused. --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 14:58, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
