Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Quebec Nordiques. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ravenswing 02:27, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Crazy Drake

The article Crazy Drake has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NN product. A great example of why Wikipedia needs a speedy deletion criterion for articles about products that do not assert the product's notability.

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Toddst1 (talk) 02:16, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finished it yet. Is there any way I could work on it before i'm finished it? --Puckingham TALK 02:17, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please add sources to your articles to avoid

to avoid PROD and Speedy deletions. I took down the PROD but you should source Crazy Drake. You can do this by adding <ref>link to your source</ref> after the sentence which the source is needed and add ==References== {{Reflist}} at the end so all the sources will be gathered automatically at the end.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll add some external links. --Puckingham TALK 02:54, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please understand that isn't good enough. Wikipedia has a policy of Wikipedia:No original research that means that you must source your articles with third party sources and your research isn't good enough to make articles and it can be deleted because of it.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 02:57, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding some references now. --Puckingham TALK 02:57, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Free rationale for File:Crazy Drake disco.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Crazy Drake disco.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 23:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do that. -- C:\>puckingham.exe 18:20, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Todd Holt, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Graham James (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
