Dark Shadows

Is 1245 really the number of episodes, or is it the number of the last episode. These numbers differ, since several numbers were skipped. Rick Norwood 13:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bethany Health Care Center

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Bethany Health Care Center, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Bethany Health Care Center. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Stoneleigh-Burnham School

The article Stoneleigh-Burnham School has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion of Pell Center of International Relations and Public Policy

A tag has been placed on Pell Center of International Relations and Public Policy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD G12.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Yngvarr (t) (c) 22:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas E. Brayton

Hi Mbfitz -- The article on Thomas E. Brayton looks like a genealogical project. While it may not be appropriate for wikipedia (see the current WP:AFD on it), you might try wikitree or genealogy.wikia -- two different genealogy wiki projects. Cheers, --lquilter 19:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sisters of Saint Joseph of Orange

A tag has been placed on Sisters of Saint Joseph of Orange requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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), 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.

Shirley Jackson

I wanted to let you know that I deleted that section because the text is a copy violation, copied exactly from http://http://www.shirleyjacksonawards.org/. Also, it was unsourced, and I see no reason why an article about a subject should have a listing of every single winner of an award named after her. Perhaps if you can find a source about the award, a sentence or two could be added. --CutOffTies (talk) 20:39, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Problem about Great Fall River Fire of 1874

Hi Mbfitz!
I noticed that some of the text included in this article is identical to that of its sources. For example, see:

here
here, and
here.

Great article, but could you possibly re-write it in your very own good words, not those of the sources?
Thank you! --Shirt58 (talk) 11:58, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Great Fall River Fire of 1874 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

You can also visit the 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.

Proposed deletion of Camp Neringa

The article Camp Neringa has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for August 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Guy Consolmagno, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paul Mueller. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
