Deletion of page "UrgentRx"

I am looking to create a page for the company "UrgentRx" and noticed their previous page had been deleted by you. Reasons for deletion seemed to be concerns over legitimacy. The company and products are indeed legitimate, sold nationwide, and have been mentioned in The New York Times , Consumer Reports , The Wall Street Journal , CNBC , among many others. Can you please look into this so we can work together on getting this page back up? Thank you. SGuberud (talk) 22:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)SGuberud

Hello SGuberud. The page was deleted based on the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UrgentRx. Do you think circumstances have changed since that discussion?--Mojo Hand (talk) 04:27, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

After reviewing the discussion, I don't believe there was enough reason to delete the page to begin with. Within just the last few days, the former CEO of Emergen-C has also joined the Board of Directors at UrgentRx . The company, and the backing it has received, is without question deserving of a page. Thanks. SGuberud (talk) 18:31, 16 January 2014 (UTC)SGuberud

Given the limited history of your account, may I ask if you have any personal affiliation with the company. It's OK if you do, though Wikipedia has a guideline on conflicts of interest. You can contact me by email if you prefer.--Mojo Hand (talk) 22:46, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

No problem. How do I email you? SGuberud (talk) 21:58, 20 January 2014 (UTC)SGuberud

There should be an "email this user" link in the "Tools" bar to the left.--Mojo Hand (talk) 23:11, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I just had to verify my email address. I sent you an email. SGuberud (talk) 23:59, 20 January 2014 (UTC)SGuberud

Did you receive my email? SGuberud (talk) 17:47, 22 January 2014 (UTC)SGuberud

Got it; I'll respond shortly.--Mojo Hand (talk) 19:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I have made some edits to this page, adding references and credibility. I believe the page is now certainly deserving of being moved into the public space. Can you please start the review process at your earliest convenience? Thanks SGuberud (talk) 17:57, 14 February 2014 (UTC)SGuberud

Assessment

Could I get an updated assessment of the WINC (AM) article? It's part of WP:VIRGINIA, as it is a Virginia radio station. Hope all is well with you. :) Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:19, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Glad to help. Things are good here, and I hope they are for you as well :) --Mojo Hand (talk) 04:00, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Much appreciated! Yeah, things are going well here, getting some good work done. I'm trying to get each and every radio station article updated and sourced, at least in Virginia and West Virginia (maybe Maryland too). So far I have one GA, one C class, one B class (the one you just did) and one under GA review now (hoping to have that promoted later today). So far, so good. :) It's a long process, so keep an eye out for more assessments down the road. :) Thanks and Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:55, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

That's great. I've been spending some time trying to update and get a handle on the the articles covered by WPVA, so I am happy to help with assessments or feedback on any of those.--Mojo Hand (talk) 15:09, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I have noticed alot of the radio station articles getting updated assessments, which is awesome. I got another if you feel like reading about another radio station. :) It's at the top of the Assessment Page. Thanks in advance. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:26, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

The Noble Guest Family, and the Child

Hello. Can you please tell me what I need to do to get my name on the list? Thanks. ~~~~

Well, Wikipedia strongly discourages you from adding information about yourself - see WP:COI. I think you would do better to edit unrelated subjects that interest you. Let me know if I can help.--Mojo Hand (talk) 15:16, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I will try to be more famous, then. ~~~~

Thanks!

Thank you for the edit on Gianni Nunnari. Long story short, the article was started by someone whom I believe is a representative for Nunnari, as the page was exceptionally promotional/puffy in tone. I managed to save it from deletion, but as I edited it I noticed that there was a lot of bad press for him in various outlets, which wasn't in the original article contents. I've been expecting some vandalism on the page and I'm expecting even more over time, so if you could keep an eye on the article I'd appreciate it. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:17, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up; I'll keep an eye on it.--Mojo Hand (talk) 15:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Another Article Assessment Request

Hey MH, got another article for assessment. This one doesn't fall under WP:VIRGINIA, but if you could help, I'd appreciate it. The article in question is KRSA. It falls under WP:ALASKA and WP:WPRS. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:42, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey NH. I generally avoid doing assessments on other Wikiprojects, as I find they can have different criteria or standards. I think this article meets the "C" criteria, but I could see where other editors might disagree.--Mojo Hand (talk) 05:04, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

I figured it was probably a "C", but I wanted to make sure. I can assess through WP:WPRS (I'm a member over there), but you are better at assessments than I am, hence why I was asking. :) Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 14:39, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Xanadu Range

Dear admin; this page was deleted from Wikipedia resulting in local anger in the City of Kimberley BC. This page was created to recognize the mountain range north and adjacent to Kimberley, to encourage outdoor recreation in the area. We have contacted the BC Ministry of Natural Resources to try and legally create this area for outdoor ed, but due to the administration costs and recent Provincial budget cuts there were unable to process our request. Please re-activate this page. Our goal is to have this mountain range be added onto Google Earth for better orienteering in the region. Thanks for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BuckBuchan (talk • contribs) 01:39, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry that the city of Kimberley is upset. My job is to enact the consensus of the Wikipedia community, and the consensus in this case was clear.--Mojo Hand (talk) 02:18, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Recreation of a deleted page

Hi, I am creating a page deleted by you last month. 04:14, 10 January 2014 Mojo Hand (talk | contribs) deleted page FuelCell Energy (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FuelCell Energy). The reason of deletion is that the page lacks notability. I have tried to improve the page and collect more information to prove the notability. Thank you for your advice and help. Pls review the page and give me some suggestions to improve it. I will really appreciate that! Best RegardsHelen1023 (talk) 12:30, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

The article is improved from the version that was deleted, and more referencing certainly helps. What would help the article is more sourcing - demonstrated coverage in a reliable third party source (i.e. something more than a company blurb). I hope that helps.--Mojo Hand (talk) 00:00, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of CardsApp page

Hi, this is the original creator of CardsApp page (http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:D5Mk-i60aHIJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CardsApp+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=il) which was deleted apparently some time ago over issues of notability. I wanted to contact you about the possibility of a reconsideration of your decision. The reason for only few hits on Google News is because most of cardsapp users and merchants are from the eastern world (mostly China, Vietnam and Malaysia). CardsApp is very notable in China, with more than 1 million users. In addition, cardsapp is cooperating with the biggest loyalty consumers club in Israel, which holds more than 100,000 users that use their loyalty benefits via cardsapp. "Hoger" loyalty card CardsApp is now entering the western world and that's why I thought users may look for it in Wikepdia and find relevant information about it. colloquy PRWEB

They also hold extremely active social network pages, for exmample: facebook CardsApp facebook page, twitter and google+ Thank you. Lornesr12 (talk) 12:30, 2 Marc 2014 (UTC)

Hello Lornesr12. The discussion that resulted in the deletion of the article ended just three days ago, so it's unlikely anything has changed in that time. I recommend taking a look at Wikipedia's notability guideline and seeing if new sources about the app develop.--Mojo Hand (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

You warned a new user

User_talk:Drfrankcaldwell. If this account continues to edit this way, what would be the next step, WP:AIV? Thanks, --Malerooster (talk) 03:50, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Looks like the account has been blocked indefinitely, so the immediate problem has been addressed. For future reference, there is a good breakdown on how to respond to vandalism at WP:R Van. As a general rule, if account continues to vandalize after a fourth level warning, then it's appropriate to report them at WP:AIV. I hope that helps.--Mojo Hand (talk) 12:48, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion

Hello. I noticed that you marked the articles as "keep", but vote shows the result: 5 for delete/redirect/merge (users: Subtropical-man, Joy, Eleassar, Adam Cuerden, Stepojevac) vs 4 for keep (Lugnuts as author, Cirt, Sportfan5000, Stalwart111). So, option of "delete/redirect/merge" win. Of course, I understand - we need for a greater difference in votes than one, but this can not be determined as "The result was keep". This is a complete mistake. The correct description is "no consensus". Please, correct it here and other templates inserted by you, here: [1], [2],[3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24]. Subtropical-man talk
(en-2) 15:21, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Subtropical-man, and thank you for your comments. AfD is a discussion; it's not about winning and it's not about voting. I believe my closure closely reflected the consensus of the discussion. Logging it as a "keep" closure is a bit simplistic, but there is really no practical difference between logging it as "keep" or "no consensus". To get the accurate understanding of the discussion, you have to read it and the full closing. The closing doesn't preclude further discussions about the direction of the articles, in fact it encourages such discussions.--Mojo Hand (talk) 19:10, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

I know, AfD mainly is a discussion, not clean voting but if there is no consensus, votes are important. I have read the whole discussion, there is no consensus. You wrote "but there is really no practical difference between logging it as "keep" or "no consensus"" - wrong, it is not the same. Term of "keep" means consensus for keep article. These articles were not removed because there is not consensus, not because there is consensus for keep. Your designations are misleading. Subtropical-man talk
(en-2) 19:33, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Explain to me what you think the practical difference is? Either way, the articles are kept pending some further editorial consensus.--Mojo Hand (talk) 21:33, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

This changes the state of affairs. One example of why this is important: some user read article of LGBT history in Malta. This article is only one sentence, pseudo-stub. User will want to remove the article but article has been incorrectly marked as "This page was nominated for deletion on 14 February 2014. The result of the discussion was keep". If there was a consensus for keep, does not make sense to discuss again because consensus is consensus. But, there is not consensus, page was wrongly marked. If page was marked as "This page was nominated for deletion on 14 February 2014. The result of the discussion was no consensus", user sees chance for further discussion. Pages was wrongly marked. Your designations are misleading. PS. you wrote: "really no practical difference between logging it as "keep" or "no consensus"", other example: really no practical difference between murder, suicide, capital punishment - everything is death but in many cases it is important cause of death and murder, suicide, capital punishment is not the same thing, although it leads to the same death. You can not change that (if you have a bad mood) X person has been murdered or (if you have a good mood) X person has committed suicide, although in practice, the result is the same, only one sentence is true, . I'm sorry, but I had to explain it on the example. Consensus for keep and no consensus, although in practice the result is the same, they are two different things. Subtropical-man talk
(en-2) 22:05, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

It does not change the state of affairs. Either way, the articles are kept and editors are free to continue further discussion (as the closing explicitly suggests). Your arguments are inapt and pedantic, and your tone is unhelpful.--Mojo Hand (talk) 23:03, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

If there was no consensus for keep - why enter wrong information? No consensus is no consensus, simply. Maybe for you, no consensus = consensus for keep, for others - not. A similar effect, but these are two different things. Marking pages as "no consensus" is widely practiced between other administrators. Please correct your false descriptions. Subtropical-man talk
(en-2) 13:58, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

I stand by my closing. In addition, I am trying to make allowances for the fact that English is not your second language, but your comments are rude and insulting.--Mojo Hand (talk) 16:05, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

I do not intend to offend anyone.

1. Please give specific quotes with "rude and insulting".
2. I still do not understand, there is not consensus for keep. Why you inserted the wrong information? I clearly explained with examples, no consensus is not consensus for keep, even if it similar effect, but these are two different things. You made a mistake, it happens, but please fix it. Subtropical-man talk
   (en-2) 18:11, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

1. For example, when you say things like, "the rest is a lie or a mistake" or "false descriptions", these are words that suggest deliberate deception. However, I accept that this is a language barrier issue, and I will assume good faith.

2. Nobody (except you) wanted to delete the articles. Everyone else wanted to keep the pages in some form - either as they are, or via merge or via redirect. So, the broad categories as delete or keep/redirect/merge, with a rough consensus to keep (until and unless a new consensus emerges to take a different action). Closing the AfD as "no conensus" would be OK, but I still think my full closing was more accurate and precise. I understand your arguments to the contrary, but I don't agree with them.--Mojo Hand (talk) 20:29, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

What? "keep/redirect/merge"? Nonsense. "Keep" means leaving the article; "redirect" means the removal content of the article (title exist only as link); "merge" is also means the removal of the article (move contents to other articles). There is no such option as "keep/redirect/merge". Most of AfD pages show clearly: remove/redirect/merge are three options about delete of article. PS. I voted for "Remove all or redirects", redirect differs by only one thing, title existed as link/redirection. Subtropical-man talk

I think we will have to agree to disagree.--Mojo Hand (talk) 21:58, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Page of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LGBT history in... showing clearly: no consensus, half of the users argued and voted for "redirect", second half of the users argued and voted for "keep" and also one for "merge" and one for "remove". This is totally no consensus, there is no even the appearance of consensus. Description by you, Mojo Hand say: "The result was keep", this is either a mistake or a deliberate action. I assume the good will. You made a mistake (probably), it happens, but please fix it. Officially please: improve the erroneous designations. Subtropical-man talk
(en-2) 15:54, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

My exact words were "The result was keep. There is clearly no consensus to delete these articles. Further discussion about whether the articles should be kept in their present form, redirected or merged can continue in the appropriate forum(s).Mojo Hand (talk) 02:30, 23 February 2014 (UTC)".

Thank you for your RfA support

Hi there, a bit of a form letter from me, Cyphoidbomb, but I wanted to drop you a line and thank you for your support at my recent RfA.

I appreciate your remarks about the article and glad you enjoyed it. This guy was a character, wasn't he? I enjoyed writing about him - he was an ancestor. I have been envolved in GA nominations - Lincoln most memorably - and it's just more of a commitment than I can keep, at least as a primary nominator. Of course I am glad to assist if there is a nomination of an article I have worked on. Thanks again. Hoppyh (talk) 21:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Westminster School

Hey Mojo! I notice that you approved the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS) wikipage, and was hoping you could also review the Westminster School page that was linked to that article. I am not sure what the process is to getting pages approved for the public (I am really new to wikipedia!) and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!! ClaireG2014 (talk) 18:20, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi ClaireG2014. Wikipedia doesn't really have a formal approval process. Things work by consensus, and any article can generally be improved or challenged by anyone. The only thing I did with the VAIS article was to list it within the Virginia WP:Wikiproject, and I will do the same for the Westminster article. However, all that really does is to identify articles that may be of interest to Virginia editors.

Don't hesitate to ask questions or worry about making mistakes. Wikipedia can be tricky, and nobody is perfect.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:50, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Toby

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Toby and deleted the article Joseph Toby. However he has since had a professional start, and someone has recreated the article from scratch. Can you restore the edit history? Nfitz (talk) 22:19, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Will do; thanks for the note.--Mojo Hand (talk) 22:45, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

I just took a look at the version that was deleted, and it was basically one sentence of prose (and that one line is outdated now). There's nothing worth using for a merge. So, if we don't use the old content, then I don't think we need to restore the edit history.--Mojo Hand (talk) 22:56, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Hard to say with the edit history hidden. Though for that reason, I'd still prefer it be restored so that others don't spend more time trying to clean up. Nfitz (talk) 23:00, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough - it's a reasonable request to have the edit history available.--Mojo Hand (talk) 23:08, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

There is a bit of a lull on the PR, so if you see any changes that need to be made, let me know and I can work on them right fast. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 12:41, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Have I fixed everything that you felt needed fixing? I'm just curious as I believe I have completed Finetooth's part of the PR and Hamiltonstone has been out of contact for two days, but that one was winding down.

I know it feels like I am rushing, but I'm trying to get everything done (FAC included) before mid-May when I am getting carpal tunnel surgery done. I will be out of commission (in typing at least) for a couple months and don't want to have the article up in the air until sometime in September. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:58, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

You addressed my concerns, and the article is looking more polished after all the extra work from the PR. Well done! Sorry to hear about your surgery though.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:41, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Carpal tunnel was going to happen sooner or later. I have been playing with computers off and on since 1st grade and daily since 2003. It was a matter of time, so no worries. I have a pretty good surgeon, so I am in good hands (pun intended). :)

Anywho, could add a line on the PR about me addressing your concerns? It will help in the FAC process, so the reviewers there know I took care of everything on the PR. Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:30, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

The article stands a better chance of being kept now that you have added some sources. I recommend looking at other similar article on Pakistani writers for ideas on how to improve the article.--Mojo Hand (talk) 22:02, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Feral Five

Hi. Thankyou for pointing out the Talk page of deleted page. I wanted to create a new version of the page as I am a fan and they have got some recognition as being played by BBC Radio as well as writing the first song according to 3D Print.com about actually printing 3D humans (sounds a bit science fiction but there's a first anyway). I drafted a page as recommended by another Administrator for view and approval first and would be happy for you to have a look. I don't know what was on the original pages but just thought I'd check them here after listening to them on BBC (they are sixth on the playlist. I've Googled them and they come up consistently on the first few pages. Do you have any objections to taking a look at the draft article and making some suggestions?

Tanya Wenman Steel

Hi there. I see you deleted my wiki page Tanya Wenman Steel due to "copyright infringement" as it had direct language from my linked-in page. If I change the language (with the same facts) can I republish? It's not blatant advertising but rather all biographical curriculum vitae facts. Thanks! JohnnyJoe1

Hello JonnyJoe1 and welcome to Wikipedia.

Although copyright was the initial issue, it was not the only issue with the proposed article. The content read like a linked-in page or a CV, rather than a neutral encyclopedic biography. I strongly encourage you to review the Wikipedia guideline on conflicts of interest. Let me know if you have any other questions.--Mojo Hand (talk) 20:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Alliance Global Group

PapaDoc88 (talk) 09:30, 27 September 2014 (UTC) Alliance Global Group Dear Mojo Hand, You choose to Keep the article of Alliance Global, although we from the company ask for this article to be deleted, because it was created in violation of company's desire and standards. We don't want that publicity and I would like to request either to leave the discussion open or to delete the page. We are firm on this stance and will demand this till the page is deleted. As I stated the company is not of the scale and importance to be in Wikipedia, the management is against being in the Wikipedia and we think that this right be honored.

Hello PapaDoc. I'm afraid I am unaware of any Wikipedia policy or guideline that would allow me to delete the article on this basis. If there is a specific issue or concern, please email me or contact Wikipedia via the OTRS system - which I believe you may have already initiated.--Mojo Hand (talk) 21:26, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "The Lady in Scarlet"

Mojo Hand, thank you. The original name did seem appropriate as there is no other entity of that name. Unfortunately, that name got lost among "The Lady in Red", "A Study in Scarlet" and other similar names when searching with Google. I congratulate you on adding a redirect. I hadn't thought of that, and think it's great because it catches both names. TYVM. Akld guy (talk) 22:36, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of ProudNet

Dear Admin. The page (ProudNet) was deleted by Wikipedia due to lack of notability (14:09 10 October 2014 (UTC)). I would like to re-create ProudNet page by improving the page with notability. Thank you for your advice. Should I re-create the page with improvement first or should I re-create the page after your confirmation? Your guide will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Hyej (talk) 11:49, 13 October 2014 (GMT). Hyej (talk) 02:49, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Hyej

Hello Hyej. The deletion occurred after a discussion with pretty overwhelming consensus that the article did not meet the notability guidelines. However, the best way to demonstrate notability is by showing that the subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources. Unless you have some new reliable sources, I suspect the article will be deleted again.--Mojo Hand (talk) 03:07, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your advice. I will improve the page on the basis of guidelines and ask you to review it. I will be with you right after I improved. Thank you.Hyej (talk) 03:32, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Hyej

Hello CrazyAces. Are you saying you are interested in having this article restored and put into your userspace? Looking briefly at the history, it's pretty lengthy and there are BLP concerns raised. I recommend that you raise this with one of the admins involved in the discussion first. --Mojo Hand (talk) 14:27, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes I will merge them, source them and the sort. CrazyAces489 (talk) 16:18, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Admin doesn't actively monitor his page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Skomorokh Can you please do it for me. CrazyAces489 (talk) 01:22, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Obviously I am sympathetic to requests for userfication. At the same time, the stated reasons for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jesus Taught Me (2nd nomination) seem valid (note that there was little information about Bobby Joe Blythe beyond the one incident). Do you think this event has enduring notability - is there some recent discussion or news about it? I have to admit being dubious that an article can be made of this event.--Mojo Hand (talk) 03:53, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of page "Mic-Dee"

Hi, I recently created a page for "Mic-Dee" and noticed it has been deleted by you. Reasons for deletion seemed to be concerns A7. The band/musician is legit, and have been mentioned in lusaka voice several times , please contact me on my email: Michael.Banda@ymail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mic-Dee (talk • contribs)

Hello Mic-Dee and welcome to Wikipedia. I fully believe that you are legit, but I don't see enough to show notability for Wikipedia purposes. Being discussed in third party sources is the best way to show notability, but lusaka voice appears to allow user generated content and is would therefore not be a reliable source. You should also review Wikipedia's guideline on conflicts of interest. Let me know if you have any questions.--Mojo Hand (talk) 20:53, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Augusta County, Virginia

Hi there. I noticed in this edit summary you stated "we can't have single sentences in the lead". Why? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 05:46, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Magnolia677. That was poor wording on my part. We certainly can have single sentence paragraphs in the lead, and we often do in short articles and stubs. However, as the article develops, we do want to develop full paragraphs in the lead. In the case of Augusta County, Virginia, I thought the lead was sufficiently developed that we didn't want to go back to single sentence paragraphs. Also, I thought the two sentences were reasonably connected to be in one paragraph. So, my summary was about my editorial perspective, and shouldn't have been phrased as an absolute.--Mojo Hand (talk) 15:48, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of page TBCImprov

Hello,

First, I feel it is important to mention that I am fairly new to making edits on Wikipedia and have a slight conflict of interest with the article, in that I'm a member of the theatre company it is for. Furthermore, when the page was flagged for deletion, I feel I may have incorrectly formatted my response and so the reason it was being created not immediately apparent.

The Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_improvisational_theatre_companies correctly lists "To Be Continued..." (also known as TBCImprov) as among improv theatre companies in the UK. Unfortunately, the entry is erroneously linked to an article about a Hong Kong music album. My intent was simply to have this article link to something more accurate.

I must say too that, no sooner had I created the article and tried to understand the tools, the article was flagged for deletion. Went to bed on it and woke up to it being deleted; you guys work fast :P

Thank you

Jambocutter (talk) 07:51, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello Jambocutter. Thank you for your candor and I am sorry that your first experiences with editing Wikipedia weren't more positive. As you may imagine, we get a lot of potential new articles here, so we have to stay on top of it. Accordingly, I generally recommend that new users use the draft area (Help:Userspace draft), so they have some space and avoid the hubbub of the live encyclopedia area. I should also note that Wikipedia does discourage writing or editing articles where you have a conflict of interest. Good luck, and let me know if you have questions or need assistance. --Mojo Hand (talk) 14:44, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

William McBride Private

Hi, I've been working with a group of students in UCD working on Irish historical figures associated with WWI as part of outreach work with Wikimedia Community Ireland. I saw this article earlier, and while it was not without it's issues (they are all brand new editors), the subject is actually a relatively well known figure in the British Isles. If the students republish, would it be possible to work with them to improve the article rather than speedily delete it? Smirkybec (talk) 22:12, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

@Smirkybec: I would love to help the group if I can. For new editors, I strongly recommend starting an article in userspace, so they have an opportunity to work on it and get input before being subject to the harsher environment of the live encyclopedia. Also, as I look at the information on William McBride, it seems like he is mostly notable because of the song. Have you seen this article - No Man's Land (Eric Bogle song)? --Mojo Hand (talk) 22:41, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know they had done that, but they were working to a deadline so may have published a little prematurely. As far as I know they had found out more concrete details about him, they just might need a little help in citing it properly etc. Given the detail they've found I think he could justify his own article rather than just being a subsection within the song article. As part of the centenary celebrations, it's likely he will become more notable as his anniversary appears - could make a good DYK in the future. I'm worried they might get very disheartened after all the deletions! Not great for fostering a few new Irish Wikipedians (they are in very short supply!). Smirkybec (talk) 22:48, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I can't guarantee it won't get deleted again, but I certainly willing to help. I see a draft article at User:Rebekahcx/sandbox - is that what they are currently working on? I think the most critical thing is to provide a lead sentence or two to state why he notable, and I can try to help them with that. --Mojo Hand (talk) 23:17, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

I know, but at least if they get a bit of help, they might understand a bit better how to improve their work rather than it all disappearing on them! I'll help out too, that looks like the page alright. I really appreciate your input :) Smirkybec (talk) 23:21, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Any problem if I just jump in and help, or do they need to try to do it mostly by themselves?--Mojo Hand (talk) 23:39, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

They have done most of the heavy lifting so far I think, mostly they need to use their references - as from talking to them they have a lot more than just that one! The content is there (I think) just needs to be Wikified. I really appreciate you helping them out, thanks! Smirkybec (talk) 09:14, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Redirection of Blue Northern

Please reconsider the redirection, since the band is notable in its own right, as referenced to the initially cited profile from canadianbands.com, plus other citations, should you search the band's name. The page was in the process of development, and so indicated.

Dreadarthur (talk) 04:50, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

I have no objection, if you think you can build a case for the band's independent notability. However, you will probably need at least two good sources (and I'm not sure canadianbands.com qualifies as a reliable source) - see WP:BAND. They have the disadvantage of being pre-internet, which makes it harder to find good sources.--Mojo Hand (talk) 05:20, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk: United states

If I enter Talk: United states, it takes me to an empty talk page which is associated with the mixed-case redirect. It doesn't take me to Talk: United States, which is where I had wanted to go. I am requesting that the empty talk page be speedy-deleted so that I can go to the real talk page. Is there some other way that I can avoid this glitch? Robert McClenon (talk) 14:52, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

The United States WikiProject previously had a tag on Talk:United states to note the redirect, so it wasn't quite completely empty. However, it had very little (or possibly no) value that way, so having it redirect directly to Talk:United States maybe a better alternative - if that's what you were looking for. So, I made the change.--Mojo Hand (talk) 15:04, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Mojo, I just realized that you deleted the Starpilots article (A7 - Article about an eligible subject, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject). Now I am a bit unsure what to do: for one thing, I can't find the version of the page that was online before deletion - which would really help in order to be able to improve the page. Can you give a hint? thank you, Starpilots (talk) 08:52, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
