Crispus Attucks Communication and Writing Magnet School

Hi, I fully understand your delete recommendation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Crispus Attucks Communication and Writing Magnet School because the page was in bad shape. However, it has now been rewritten with many references to establish compliance with WP:N. I wonder if you would be good enough to revisit your recommendation, please? TerriersFan (talk) 02:59, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your reconsideration. TerriersFan (talk) 04:01, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WTF!?

I did NOT add "incorrect information" to this article. My information was 100% correct. What is wrong with you?--71.203.147.175 (talk) 23:00, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Periodistas spam warned

Hello, I noticed you spam warned this user for edits to Karen Maron. I removed the blog references, but I'm not sure I see the spam. At any rate, he seems to have stopped now. Thanks, Dloh cierekim 02:11, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your note. I've left him a message requesting English sources. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 02:20, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uthradom Thirunal

Hello. u added a tag on Uthradom Thirunal. The article already existed as Uthram Thirunal but that was the wrong name and i created Uthradom Thirunal and merely redirected Uthram Thirunal there. Also i will be adding more information in a few days to the article.Manu —Preceding comment was added at 03:45, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

about Badi School (Panama)

I request the page be undeleted.

With the template post to my talk area you referred to the Wikipedia:Your first article which has a small section Wikipedia:Your first article#And be careful about... which says: "These are articles about places like schools, or streets that are of interest to a relatively small number of people such as alumni or people who live nearby. There is no consensus about such articles, but some will challenge them if they include nothing that shows how the place is special and different from tens of thousands of similar places. Photographs add interest. Try to give local-interest articles local colour. Third-party references are very useful to prove that the subject you are writing about is notable."

Another wikipedia reference addressing school associated articles is Wikipedia:Places of local interest#Creating articles about places of local interest which largely echoes the above but adds: "*Interesting aspects of the activities that go on at that place (e.g. for a school, interesting curricular or extracurricular activities)"

Having a local government use the curriculum of the school as part of city wide extension to the schools offerings of assistance to parents of students seems to be a highly distinguishing quality almost unique in western culture. --Smkolins (talk) 13:01, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally Wikipedia:Notability (schools) states "At present schools do not have agreed guidelines. This is because several attempts at producing a schools policy have failed." Please note I'm not a member of any prior discussions on what is notable or not about schools. This article presents several specifics which I agree generally are worthwhile but ends "A school article that fails to establish notability will not be deleted, if the school can be confirmed to exist.[2] It would be simply redirected to the appropriate article for the relevant locality or school district (US and Canada only). Thus the article could be later expanded back out into its own article again when sources should become available.[3]"Smkolins (talk) 13:07, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Writers Guild of America Strike

Why are you discriminating against the article I added? It is a serious analysis, and was actually written by a university professor. if you don't like the source, be honest, instead of making false allegations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.0.83.66 (talk) 14:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

January 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on WKYT-TV. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Whether you are correct or not, if it isn't obvious vandalism that you are reverting (which it isn't -- it is a content dispute) you are breaking the 3RR. Rjd0060 (talk) 01:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WKYT-TV

Please don't call edits such as in WKYT-TV vandalism, as you did in User talk:64.191.180.253. PLease read carefully wikipedia:Vandalism. `'Míkka >t 04:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From 'ModernDiogenes'

From Yourself: Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding
commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Assata Shakur, you will be 
blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Mhking (talk) 04:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

===================================================================

My Response: The comment in question was a simple footer in the notes suggesting that the article, which I believe most people with out bias would acknowledge has a particular slant to it and in its totality is not neutral at all, should be considered with a scholarly neutral eye.

IF you find the suggestion of neutrality to be non-neutral than I am afraid I can't speak to you regards this particular issue as you and I obviously have very different ideas of what "neutral" means. Thus having no common ground to find purchase for agreement or compromise.

Thanks for the note though. Happy New Year.

Do not mark AFD nominations as minor changes without an edit summary

Please do not mark articles for deletion nominations as minor changes without an edit summary, as you did here. Anybody watching the page needs to know about the nomination, and it should be visible in the revision history of the page so it can be seen the condition of the page when it was nominated. For more details see WP:AFD#How to list pages for deletion. Thank you, Rigadoun (talk) 20:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Is it possible for a user to mass search usernames, instead of one at a time. I figure Dingbat2007 has other "Rebafan##" accounts and would like to search for all accounts starting with "Rebafan", but am not sure if I can or if an admin can. Is this possible? - NeutralHomer ^T:C 01:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Slackcountry

I can certainly understand your wanting to get rid of this article, since I like you doubt that it's a significant neologism, but according to [[1]] neologisms are specifically not eligible for a speedy tag -- I've replaced yours with a PROD tag and trust this meets with your approval. If you have any questions, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WWWQ/WNNX

I have restored my edit to both articles, with an additional sentence clarifying the current situation as a current simulcast of Top 40 on both frequencies, with the end date on the 100.5 simulcast of 1/21/08, as announced.

From All Access:

ALL ACCESS has learned that CUMULUS Alternative WNNX (99X)/ATLANTA PD and original morning co-host LESLIE FRAM and JENNERS are leaving as well as midday personality STEVE CRAIG.

CUMULUS co-COO JOHN DICKEY told ALL ACCESS, "Additionally, 99X is moving to the Internet as a stream, and will be an HD2 channel to 99.7. This will be a new and more updated approach to the format as it lives between an Internet brand and visual brand. And, LESLIE may be part of this new venture, or stay on in another capacity.

"Also, Q100 and the BERT SHOW are moving to 99.7 and there will be a new brand launched shortly on 100.5," added DICKEY. He wouldn't confirm what the new brand would be at this time -- nor would any other source.

Concerning that new brand, there is heavy speculation that former crosstown LINCOLN Top 40 WSTR morning duo STEVE & VIKKI would be joining 100.5. Earlier rumors of former WKLS (96 ROCK) morning team REGULAR GUYS appear to speculative in nature at this time.

As soon as the dust settles on this speculation, look for details on ALL ACCESS.

On a separate note, CUMULUS SVP/Programming JAN JEFFRIES told ALL ACCESS, "WYOY (Y101)/JACKSON PD/afternooner JOHN O'LEARY (aka JOHNNY O) will be joining CUMULUS at Q100/ATLANTA as APD/MD/afternoons effective JANUARY 28th. I have worked with JOHN previously while consulting his station when he was the ripe old of 19. A decade later, it is great to renew our association. Q100 PD ROB ROBERTS and I knew from moment one that JOHNNY was the clear choice for this coveted position at one of AMERICA's great radio stations.

"This announcement coincides with other major programming announcements regarding Q100 this week to be made public to the radio audience on MONDAY (1/14)," concluded JEFFRIES. —Preceding unsigned comment added by InDeBiz1 (talk • contribs) 02:18, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA Thanks

Hi Mhking - thanks for your participation in my request for adminship. I appreciated your support. I must ask out of curiosity, though: what gave you the impression that I was already an admin? Have we interacted somewhere before? Anyway, the RfA passed 52/0/0, and I'm now in possession of a shiny new mop. If I can ever help you with anything, please don't hesitate to contact me. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 09:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

My request for adminship was successful at 64/1/2! Many thanks for your participation and I will endeavor to meet your expectations. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR ^(Converse) 09:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted my addition to List of programs broadcast by CBS

How in any way could my addition be construed as vandalism? I added a variety show to the list of variety shows that was broadcast by CBS in the early 60s and you reverted it? Please explain this because it makes no sense.

Re: List of programs broadcast by CBS

Oh, I apologize, I must have made some mistake when I was adding. So this makes me a putz, but not a vandal. :/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.252.108.13 (talk) 22:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Primerica

The information posted on the Primerica Financial Services page is not based on personal opinion, it is cited and referenced. It was properly placed in the "criticism" section, with a short introduction at the top. Primerica is a pyramid scheme, and has been accused of such by many sources, so there is no reason to delete that, unless you plan to delete the same style of criticism from the Amway page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimmycongo (talk • contribs) 14:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:EL

Hiya. I've noticed you removed the links i put up on several New York and Los Angeles-area television stations. I don't see any violations for linking to a page that has a logo history of those stations. I thought that was within the allowable external links rule set. It's not spam, and it is relevant to the article, since uploading all those pictures would be a hassle. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 19:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WRBL Photographers

Thank you for your concern over the WRBL Wikipedia page. However, I believe the view of photographers projected here is elitism. I do not know how it is at other stations, but at WRBL photographers make the visual news happen just as much as a reporter or anchor does. Also photographers are indeed a television station personality. Editors, producers, and every other position typically do not go into the field and interact with the viewing public, make visits to schools, and are not typically credited on air. At WRBL photographers go into the field and interact with the viewing public just as much as reporters do, make visits to schools, and have been credited on air in the past. Also, I have seen photographers listed as personalities on many television station's websites. I have read the WP:TVS and believe that I am only providing comprehensive, high quality information about a television station on Wikipedia.

It is also written that Wikipedia contributions should be fair. I do not believe this view of photographers is fair. It is my intention to again add current photographers to the WRBL Wikipedia page for the reasons I have stated above. I will not be adding additional WRBL staff that indeed are not public personalities. Thank you and I appreciate the fact that you are doing what you think is right, just as I am. --Entertainment Reporter (talk) 19:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
