Coordinator?

Will you be re-standing as a coordinator? I haven't seen you fill in your standing for reelection tab at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators/September 2010, and given that we still have room for a few more candidates to be elected/reelected I was curious to know if you were going to stand again. I would personally be very happy to welcome you back, but if you would prefer not to stand again I can certainly understand that. TomStar81 (Talk) 20:10, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm happy to see you've decided to stand again; even if you aren't reelected (and I don't know why you wouldn't be) I think that it helps the moral of the project members to have as many options as possible in the coordinator tranche makeup. TomStar81 (Talk) 02:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Patar knight. I just wanted to say thanks for your efforts as co-ord last session and good on you for volunteering again. I'm sorry to see that you didn't more votes in the election. It was a very strong field this time, though, so I hope it won't leave you too disheartened. I hope to see you around the place still. Take care. Cheers.

non notable per WP:NOTABLE and WP:MILMOS/N

Thomas Scott Adams

Hello,

I do not understand why my article was deleted. Thomas Scott Adams is a real person who ran for the Thousand Oaks City Counsel.

Sincerely, Jess —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.173.120 (talk) 03:42, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

The subject of your article was clearly not suitable for inclusion. Being real is no threshold (I'm real and so are you, but we don't deserve articles), and running for a Council seat in a city of less than a quarter-million, and losing, with no other notable accomplishments, doesn't merit someone a Wikipedia article. Compare for example, the amount of candidates who have pages in the latest Ottawa municipal election for a metropolis of around 1 million people. Out of 25 candidates, only 5 have articles (1 was a provincial minister and former mayor, 1 was the former mayor and a prominent business man, and the other 3 were all long-time politicians, of which one is also a noted author, another was a mayor of a (now) suburb of Ottawa, while the last was an member of the provincial parliament). The other candidates are like your Thomas Scott Adams, they ran, didn't make it, but seem to have done little else of significance outside of the city. I'm sure that Thomas Scott Adams is a very agreeable person, but he doesn't meet our notability guidelines for politicians, unless you can prove he has received massive amounts of press coverage. Sorry, --Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

HLIND

why did you delete hawk light ind —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zacked101 (talkcontribs) 03:59, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

It didn't meet our notability guidelines, and gave no credible reason why it might meet those guidelines. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:01, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Timothy Allison

Hello, Would it be appropriate to write an article about Tim Allison? He ran against Elton Gallegly, but lost. He is mentioned in the article "United States House of Representatives elections in California, 2010, but there is no separate article on him.

Thanks, 76.89.173.120 (talk) 05:07, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

As a rule of thumb, losing candidates in relatively minor elections who don't receive extraordinary press coverage (e.g. Christine O'Donnell-esque) generally don't have articles, unless they've done something else of note. Sorry, --Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:02, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

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

A tag has been placed on Toby turner requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Why

Why did you undo my edits to santa claus, it was informative, in neutral point of view and cited. Why undo it, it was constructive to this site? I demand to know!59.154.42.136 (talk) 04:38, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

It isn't helpful. The tradition of Santa giving coal is already mentioned five times in the article , including one reference in the lede itself, so adding it is repetitive. It also brings undue weight to this rather minor tradition which isn't there in all cultures that have a Santa in them. Lastly, IMDB is not a reliable source, so it's not cited.--Patar knight - chat/contributions 04:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Reg: deletion of article on "Kotha Hari Krishna"

Hi Patar,

Please restore the article on the "Kotha Hari Krishna", he is a budding entrepreuner and source of inspiration for many, Also please provide me the content that has been deleted. Please mail the content to "ravi.nifty@gmail.com" Ravi.nifty (talk) 18:52, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I have not restored the article, per my reservations about that outlined in the e-mail I just sent you. However, the text is harmless, so I sent that to you, with the caveat that you do not repost this article. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 19:39, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of da bomb

I created da bomb (which you speedied under G2) as a genuine {{wi}} redirect page. The redirect may not be desirable, but in any case it was definitely not a test page. (I accept that I accidentally typed {{subst:longcontent}} instead of {{subst:longcomment}}, but such an error does not make it a test page.)

I wish to re-create the page, but I will not do so without your advice. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, it seems that another user removed the {{wi}} template from the page, and made it seem like a test page, since now it only consisted of a non-existant template. I think that your best bet would be to make a disambiguation page at Da bomb, add a short explanation of the term, add all the search results with that in its name (there were at least 3 when I just searched), and then add Template:Wiktionary to that disambiguation page.--Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:29, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 Done most of the the above. I might've screwed some things up because it's nearly 2 AM over here. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 06:36, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank You!

The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition.

It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal.

Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.)

Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future.
