List of NBA Players by points scored

Hi, I noticed you moved The Best NBA Players Of All Time to List of NBA Players by points scored. While I believe that the latter would make for a decent stand-alone list, the list as it stands is 100% User:Logan Kulas' opinion on who he thinks are the greatest players of all time. For example, LeBron James is #3 but Kareem is #8 and Karl Malone is #21 despite each having twice the number of career points as LeBron. If you're willing to put in the time and effort to convert it to a true ranking of players in order of the number of points they scored, then I'll leave it alone. But I think that this needs to be blown up and started over. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you're right. Suggest you take it to AFD on those grounds. Instawisdom (talk) 16:15, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

I have prodded it, but will go to AfD if the prod gets removed by the creator or by a user who isn't willing to completely change the article as I explained above. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Major Rajasthani

Hello! You recently tagged Major Rajasthani as unreliablely sourced. Are the sites like youtube, itunes are unreliable?? More i want to say that there is a song on youtube written on the singer, Major Rajasthani, that tells the story of his life. So i can't explain this song in english in references. There is no other written info about the artist i made this first effort. So, if this is enough, please remove the tag and if not please tell me what to do on my talk page. With thanks Tari 06:40, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Tari. Have a read of WP:Reliable sourcess and Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites for more info on why Facebook, YouTube and iTunes aren't reliable sources for references. Can you find reliable sources on him in Punjabi? The sources don't have to be in English, they only need to be reliable. Thanks, Instawisdom (talk) 06:45, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, but till now i had searched the whole internet using punjabi and english but no info on him was found, only this song on youtube, witten on him, tell his story in briefe. The theme of the song is : one girlfriend asks his boyfriend that why he was sad today. The bf tells that my beloved brother like singer Major Rajasthani is on more. Then the bf asks who was he, where he was born, married or unmarried, children and the bf reply answering these questions tellling the story in briefe. So how can i add this in english to references bcz they are in a song. Very sad... :-( . Anyway thanks for your time and keep in contact to help me if there any hope. Tari 06:58, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome, and I hope some reliable sources can be found, because his music is quite beautiful. Instawisdom (talk) 07:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes as reasoning for contested deletion

First, we agree in principle: adding an infobox to the talk page of an article slated for speedy deletion does nothing to contest the deletion.

However, while you've been deleting those infoboxes added by Yahzeepunk (talk · contribs), I've been preserving them, but adding a bracketed comment to note that was the extent of the user's comment and the {{unsigned2}} template to show the date and time of the addition. That's probably better, in that it shows that Yahzeepunk tried to say something to contest the deletion.

You'll also note I've left him a message on his talk page asking for more in-depth commentary on why the article should be kept. —C.Fred (talk) 14:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Good idea, and thanks for copying me. Instawisdom (talk) 14:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Richard James (Savile Row)

A tag has been placed on Richard James (Savile Row) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, or user talk page from the article space.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Advice asked.

I am trying to write a few wiki's but some of the pages are still up for deletion. I hope someone can help me with this. I try to enter enough references but maybe I am doing something wrong. Hans Willemsen— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanswillemsen (talk • contribs)

Which page is up for deletion? Hein Mevissen was proposed for deletion, but as I said at your talk page, I've already removed the deletion tag after I added the missing references.Thanks, Instawisdom (talk) 13:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

How do I get my draft approved?

Hi there, I recently received a message suggesting that I should have a page I recently published on Wikipedia proofread and checked so as to avoid a conflict of interest. How do I go about this?

Thank you StephenfGraham (talk) 13:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Greetings! I recommend that you use Wikipedia:Articles for creation for this. Do please be careful to observe the guidelines at WP:Conflict of interest, if you're writing about your own company: it's very difficult to write objectively about something with which you're closely involved. Thanks, Instawisdom (talk) 14:12, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi

Could you email / move the deleted page 'EasyRecruit' from 20. Jan to me (bluiee) ? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluiee (talk • contribs) 10:11, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I'm not an administrator, but administrator User talk:Peridon deleted the original version, so you could ask him to copy the deleted version to a user subpage for you, to allow you to work on it. Thanks, Instawisdom (talk) 10:33, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Beachgolf

Hi! I'm the author of the article Beachgolf. Could you please tell me exactly where are the problems about advert? Sorry but I am not english, so explain me clearly, you would be grateful. --Lucapremier88 (talk) 20:03, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for your contributions. Here are some examples of promotional language:

• "Its aim is to eradicate the elements of niche and turn them into engaging mass elements"
• "Over the years, Beach Golf has challenged these prejudices showing, on the contrary, that is a young sport, dynamic and accessible, as it affects a myriad of Target, it adapts to any situation and allow equal competition between different sexes"
• "Thanks to Beach Golf, inflexible rules of playing and behavior of traditional golf give way to more fun, easy-going situations while keeping basic principles of golf"
• "There are no physical barriers such as fences or others and this allows the audience to interact with the game and thus create a unique playground where viewers are interactive as the participants"

Etcetera. The posed photograph of the "caddy girls" also appears to have been lifted straight out of a marketing brochure. Thanks, Instawisdom (talk) 22:02, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I made ​​changes according to your report, and I completed the citation of sources. Is that better? Do you think the video posted on Youtube Beachgolf competitions, may be cited as the source? Thanks for your help.--Lucapremier88 (talk) 09:53, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

The tone has been improved by your edits, thanks, and I've made some further edits to reduce the promotional tone. But YouTube isn't a reliable source (see WP:ELPEREN), and reliable sources are needed to establish the game's notability, particularly the claim that the sport is recognized by the Italian National Olympic Committee. Instawisdom (talk) 10:13, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

About radio network, I quoted as a source a video interview of President de Marco Mauro, on Radio Kiss Kiss,with the popular radio host Marco Baldini. Newspaper articles and magazines, scanned, are considered valid sources? Not everything can be found on the internet, a lot of material is photographic and journalistic.--Lucapremier88 (talk) 11:19, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, scanned newspaper articles are fine as a source: brief info on this can be found at WP:Offline sources. Thanks, Instawisdom (talk) 11:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Juniper

Thanks for your work on the article. I'm the one that added the tags :) Disavian (talk) 01:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome! :) But the sections below it need the same sort of editing: it reads a bit like Sports Illustrated... Instawisdom (talk) 08:46, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
