Merge Diplomatic corp with Diplomatic corps
[edit]Sir: I noticed that there are two different pages for the diplomatic corps. I think that the Diplomatic corp [sic] should be incorported/merged into the the Diplomatic corps. Dr mindbender 05:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Damjan Alaica
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem to me that Damjan Alaica meets these criteria, I have started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Damjan Alaica. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, an administrator will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. -- Netsnipe CVU (Talk) 03:45, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Just noticed your AfD for Irving Madinya. You should not remove content from the page for teh purposes of encouraging the deletion process. Also, your deletion has been submitted in rather confusing format. Please try to fix this up. MyNameIsNotBob 23:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, my mistake. Your AfD was messed up though. Too much for me to try and fix, I'm not familiar enough with the correct prcess to try and work out where you went wrong. Article should have been tagged for speedy deletion rather than AfD. MyNameIsNotBob 23:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Please use edit summaries
[edit]Please focus on using edit summaries, especially when placing speedy deletion tags, as you did here Ansell 01:38, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Geographical disambiguation pages
[edit]Hello. I see that you moved Tully, New York to Tully, New York (disambiguation). Is there a particlular reason why you did this? Most of the other pages like this, such as Palmyra, New York, Waterloo, New York, and Broadalbin, New York do not have the "disambiguation" suffix. Perhaps the page should occupy Tully, New York with Tully, New York (disambiguation) as a redirect per Wikipedia:Disambiguation. Khatru2 02:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Ian Ross (football manager)
[edit]See WP:BIO - "Sportspeople/athletes who have played in a fully professional league". Even if he hadn't being a league manager is enough. BlueValour 02:07, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Quick CSD Comment
[edit]I noticed you nominated Udre Udre for CSD A7, and then removed the nom. I'd suggest searching for text in the future. It was a copyvio of [1]. But nice call, it should be speedied. alphaChimp laudare 19:26, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism
[edit]Greetings! Yes, you can find the pages and tag them for speedy -- either by RC patrolling, Newpages patrolling, or clicking on the image to see what links to it. It's a common vandal, probably using AOL. Thanks! Antandrus (talk) 21:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Unprotection
[edit]How can I get my article unprotected so that someone can write an article? (unsigned article written by Ericverbin)
Unencyclopedic article
[edit]Please do not make personal attacks as you did at Stupid myspace picture-stealing whores. 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, especially those in violation of our Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy, will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

WikiProject roller coasters
[edit]Hi there, just to let you know that WP:ROCO has been given an overhaul. As you are listed as a participant, I just thought I'd let you know that there's a new to-do section and much clearer guidelines for roller coaster articles. Hope to see you over there!

 The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter
Issue I - December 2007 Got any suggestions? - Add them here |
Welcome to the new WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! Until now, in spite of a decent number of members signed up to the WikiProject, we have had no regular progress updates or information as to how much of a difference our contributions are making. This monthly newsletter aims to provide an overview of all the work that is being done behind the scenes and to celebrate the successes that would otherwise pass by unseen. Any suggestions for future additions and general help with the newsletter will be greatly appreciated. |
As can be seen on the assessment page, we are so close to finishing off assessment. If all current members of the WikiProject assessed just 2 articles, the backlog of unassessed-quality articles would be eliminated. The vast majority of articles are currently assessed as stubs, which is probably to be expected as many contain an infobox and nothing else. Getting these up to start-class is incredibly easy, many simply need references and tidying up. Even if you have very little knowledge on the article subject, this task should be fairly straightforward and is the first step in raising overall article quality. The following articles reached B-class quality during November: |
The Amusement Park Portal is now automatically linked to from the roller coaster infoboxes. It's important to remember that we need to integrate our articles with those covered by the Amusement Park WikiProject. When working on a roller coaster article, it's always a good idea to ensure that there is a wikilink from the relevant amusement park article, otherwise no-one will even know the article exists! |
During November the WikiProject was joined by 3 new members, bringing the total number up to 49. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. |
Just to get the idea out there, I'd like to propose a monthly article drive. With the poor state of most of the articles, it's unreasonable to suggest even a GA-drive, so a B-class drive would be more realistic. Any suggestions for January's article can be brought up on the WikiProject Talk Page. Suggested articles should be presently at start or stub class and have sufficient reliable sources available to work from. |
Thanks for reading, any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! |

Speedy deletion of User:New nsider
[edit]
A tag has been placed on User:New nsider, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:User:New nsider|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome!
Welcome to the second WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! December has seen some real progress in terms of bringing up the quality of roller coaster related articles on Wikipedia. Assessment and tagging of articles is almost completely done and efforts are now being focussed on quality and improving articles. This month also sees the start of the new B-class drive, a brilliant way to get involved with the WikiProject and achieve something together. |
|
Articles and Assessment
As far as assessment goes, the backlog from last month was cleared almost immediately after the last newsletter went out, almost single-handedly by Alton! A progress chart can be seen on the assessment page that shows we are slowly dragging up the quality of the articles covered by the WikiProject.
The following articles reached B-class quality during December:  • Magnum XL-200 • Maverick (roller coaster) • Nemesis (roller coaster) • SheiKra |
|
Amusement Parks Portal
The Amusement Parks Portal has been significantly expanded over the past month and is currently a candidate for featured portal. Any suggestions for featured articles and pictures can be put forward on their respective sections. |
|
Membership News
During December the WikiProject was joined by 2 new members, bringing the total number up to 49 after 2 inactive users were removed from the member list. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. |
|
B-class Drive
This month's B-class Drive: Arrow Dynamics
So here is the first article improvement drive for the WikiProject, Arrow Dynamics. There isn't a huge amount that needs doing apart from the addition of references, formatting and a copyedit. For any outstanding contributions there are barnstars available which can be given to and by anyone! Any suggestions for February's B-class Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it. |

...and finally...
Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated. |

Welcome!
Welcome to the WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! January has seen a number of milestones being passed in the WikiProject. We've achieved our first good article, brought a portal up to featured portal status and successfully collaborated together on the first Article Improvement Drive, amongst other achievements. Let's carry on with the good work and continue bringing up the standard of all articles covered by the WikiProject! |
|
Articles and Assessment
We hit a milestone in January with our first GA-class article, Speed Monster! This shows just how easy it is improve articles by including references and increasing readability. Collaboration has got off to a good start, with the first chosen article, Arrow Dynamics, improving enough to reach B-class. The following articles reached GA-class or B-class quality during January: |
|
Amusement Parks Portal
|

Membership News
During January the WikiProject was joined by 6 new members, bringing the total number up to 55. A very warm welcome to Etf, CPGACoast, RickMarkestein, Emackert, Onewayroad2home and Suttna08. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
A discussion is taking place regarding the best way to organise information about roller coaster records and the history of roller coasters. All members' opinions are welcomed; the discussion can be found here.

Article Improvement Drive
This month's Article Improvement Drive: Roller coaster
Why not start at the top?! The main article is already at B class and, with a little help, isn't too far away from GA class. Please see the collaboration page for further information. Any suggestions for March's Article Improvement Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it. |
