the edits by 71.137.197.97

Please take a look on this guys edits. Most of them are unsourced changes in the articles concerning the history of Poland. He errases the data that some parts of this country was also part of it before the WWII and leaves some unsourced data that usually says "in the opinion of the polish historians" "as the polish historians name it" and so on. Please look what had he done with the article about the episcopal duchy of Warmia, which used to look | that way (it was smaller but the data was not POVish and was sourced). Now it looks like | that. Thats just pure antipolish POV. 77.253.68.65 (talk) 19:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Turtles poop great

Voice of the Turtle

Hi there. I'll make sure to put in something on the significance of Voice of the Turtle. I just started working on this ten minutes ago and was saving a version so I don't lose it. They're a unique group doing actual historical research behind their work. Of historical as well as musical interest. Thanks. Asbruckman (talk) 02:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I have added a bit more to Voice of the Turtle, and put a note on the talk page about how I think it arguably meets three of the notability criteria now. What do you think? Would it be possible to untag it? Thanks so much for your help! Asbruckman (talk) 02:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Tinkered with your user page

From what I can see, your user page is intended to be encyclopedic and neutral, so I adjusted your external links section to accomodate that. Abestic28 (talk) 01:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Response

It is hard for an individual to be neutral when expressing individuality. I worded it the way I did so as to warn users that they may not like the sites I've linked to. Advanced warning so no one can say that they were offended. Thusly, I've reverted your edit. Thanks for the concern though. --Non-dropframe (talk) 01:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem, that's what revisions are for. :) Abestic28 (talk) 02:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

RPG 7

Hi
Not that it matters much, but how does this article qualify as an article lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article (WP:CSD#A1)? It says what it is right in the first sentence.
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 02:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Similarily, Thomas Fiss has an assertion of notability in the broadway carreer and in being a member of Varsity Fanclub, per WP:MUSIC. --Amalthea^Talk 02:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry that I'm bugging you with this now, but I looked at some of the other articles you recently tagged, and that were still blue-linked. I realize that you tag quite a number of articles, so the probability for mistakes is higher, but can I ask you to give authors at least a little time to flesh out their articles? Some that you nominated, e.g. [1] and [2] were only created a minute eariler. Since new users quite often don't use the preview button, but start with a substub to see how it goes, this can come across very bitey. Consider starting newpage patrolling articles that are a couple hours old, which is what I usually do. Also, as I mentioned above, please be very thorough with the tags that you use. This had an assertion of notability being the New Zealand Chess Champion (although parts of the article were of course very questionable), and this article is neither very short nor is it unidentifieable, so it's not an A1 (I know that Twinkle lists A1 as "little context", I have mistagged a few based on that label in the past, but the criterion is actually far more strict).
Nonetheless, thanks a lot for being on recent change patrol, and I hope you don't mind that I looked at you recent tags. :)
Keep up the good work, and Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 02:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

No, I have nothing against peer review. As far as RPG 7 goes, it's a one-sentence version of Rocket-propelled grenade. The others simply have not read WP:FIRST. Maybe it comes across as 'mean' but I will admit that I have very little patience for people who refuse to read things. "That applies to everyone but me." They weren't valid stubs so they got tagged. Maybe that makes me 'bad' but... Besides, if someone besides the author disagrees with my nomination, they are more than welcome to remove the tag. I hope I don't come across as rude (one of my favorite quotes is ""Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.") I really do thank you for taking time to review my actions. --Non-dropframe (talk) 03:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup tag you left at Cut to shape

Do you have some particular suggestions by adding the cleanup tag to Cut to shape. For such a short article I don't see any need for this cleanup tag. Any constructive comments would be appreciated? ww2censor (talk) 00:22, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I would suggest adding headings and subheadings. Also, the images are strangely formatted (at least in Safari and Firefox). Thanks for asking,Non-dropframe (talk) 00:35, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I also use Safari and Firefox and don't see any problem with the images, but I have turned them into a gallery instead, so perhpas you consider that better. An article of this length hardly needs any headings or subheadings yet. If it is expanded I could well see the point but not now. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 01:06, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Sally's Krackers

I submitted an article by the name of Sally's Krackers and it was torn down due to the issue of notability. So I fixed it up, and then it got taken down for the same reason. But the wikipedia code says, "Important note: Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion. However, an article on an artist or band that does not indicate that the subject of the article is important or significant can be speedily deleted under criterion A7. A mere claim of significance, even if contested, may avoid speedy deletion under A7, requiring a full proposed deletion or Article for Deletion process to determine if the article should be included in Wikipedia." I explained that Sally's Krackers is making significant contributions to the cultural undertones of the Prairies. Other artists on Wikipedia have far less about them, or explanation of significance, yet mine was speedily deleted. I have sources, quotes, the whole deal. I want to understand why it is that a group that is making significant waves is being deleted. I'm contacting you because you have a message on my talkpage telling me to not upload stuff like Sally's Krackers. I am thoroughly confused considering it was artists like this, like the Carter Family or Jimmie Rogers who founded folk music as it exists today.JenniferLK (talk) 05:20, 16 October 2008 (UTC)JenniferLK

Hey, thanks for your message about the deletion of Sally's Krackers. I appreciate your willingness to be a contributor here at Wikipedia. The reason your article was nominated is because it did not meet our music guidelines (which you can read here: WP:MUSIC). I would also like to point out that I have no ability to delete articles. I can only nominate them under WP:CSD. An administrator must then agree with my reasoning and delete the article. Again, thanks. --Non-dropframe (talk) 16:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

WP:AN

Hi
Wow, your archive is fast. Anyway, just wanted to let you know, as is customary, that there is a thread about you at the administrator's noticeboard: Wikipedia:AN#User only inserting Requesting speedy deletion tag. Seems pretty much resolved already though, so you don't have to comment at all.
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 14:21, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate the heads-up. Glad to see that it's pretty well taken care of. Thanks again, Non-dropframe (talk) 15:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

New Page Patrolling

Hi. Thank you for your help with the vital work of patrolling new pages. I noticed that you are not marking some of the pages you've reviewed as patrolled. Please do remember to click the 'mark this page as patrolled' link at the bottom of the new page if you have performed the standard patrolling tasks. Where appropriate, doing so saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page, so that they do not duplicate efforts. Thanks again for volunteering your time at the new pages patrol project. NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 21:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I try to mark every page I patrol as patrolled. I will only leave it unmarked in the event I'm not certain and want someone else to take a look at it. Of course, I'm sure I forget on occasion but the vast majority I mark. Thanks, Non-dropframe (talk) 21:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, you had tagged it for speedy deletion, so I assume it is the latter. No real issue then :) NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 21:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of My New Article

Please don't delete this, its just a placeholder till i decide on a subject, hope to make this into a good article. Wanted it to be "New Article" but that was blocked so i had to do "My New Article" Asdfghjkl100 (talk) 21:43, 23 October 2008 (UTC) (have removed the speedy tag for now)

Hey, Asdfghjkl100. I appreciate your willingness to contribute here. Unfortunately, this is not the way to go about creating your first article. The title of a page cannot be changed. To learn about editing here, please read Wikipedia:Your first article. I would also suggest visiting Wikipedia:Sandbox to experiment. Personally, I have a WP:user subpage in which I build articles before I post them. Thanks again, Non-dropframe (talk) 21:48, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Have had it explained to my why this article is invalid, as you have also done above. In light of this the deletion request is right and I have added Speedy Deletion G7 to this ,have I done this correctly? Asdfghjkl100 (talk) 21:55, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks

Always great to be appreciated. Thanks! I;ve been drawing up the country at Wikipedia:WikiProject Nepal/District templates. Only Wikipedia:WikiProject Geography/Bot/Country List/nepal remaining now. Eventually we want to see all of them Sundarijal standard or greater, Nepal is such a beautiful country images always make a difference too. It will take time, but the best way to make it possible is by starting them with government sources and links and neatly organized by district. Regards Dr. Blofeld 19:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Btfog. I appreciate your comment. However, it would be more constructive for you to bring up specific issues so they can be addressed. Frankly, I'm really not sure why you're upset with me. Also, please keep in mind WP:attack. I should also remind you to sign your posts with ~~~~. Thanks, Non-dropframe (talk) 02:05, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sexually Transmitted Infections In Pakistan

The problem is that this could simply be the author "signing" his work. Without a URL, there is no way to determine if someone copied from another source, or if this material is just an essay someone wrote to Wikipedia, which is not uncommon. And yes, I did do several searches looking for evidence that this was copied from somewhere, and found none. If evidence can be found that this is a copyright violation, I'll happily delete; otherwise, let the AfD process take its turn. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 03:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Susurluk-related articles

You can stop tagging the articles as they emanate from a government report. They just happen to be reproduced in that reference I gave. Thanks. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 21:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Thank you for your welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you had requested a speed deletion to the article Genuflect (band). I am a bit new to the site so I tried my best to follow the guidelines for this and have updated the talk page with notability information. Thank you. Deathtok (talk) 04:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
