LaJean Smith[edit]

Greetings,

Please note that the articles on LaJean Smith said she married '9 times' which makes this case prohibitively difficult...how can we find her in the 1900 census? However, given the potential contact info. I will check with the family to see if they have anything. Just don't expect results overnight...this process usually takes a while (given the huge number of cases to go through: I get about 200 messages/month that need to be processed).

LaJean Smith[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article LaJean Smith, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of LaJean Smith.

Richard Washington (Partially-validated supercentenarian)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Richard Washington (Partially-validated supercentenarian), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Spgh.JPG)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Spgh.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:06, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Spgh.JPG[edit]

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Spgh.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:43, 26 August 2007 (UTC).

Ruby Muhammad edits[edit]

User Plyjacks, your recent edits to the Ruby Muhammad Wikipedia article violate the 'No Original Research' policy. The policy says that material must be sourced, and if self-published, that person must be an 'expert in the field, respected by their peers and published in books, journals, etc.' Please, would you like to show me your credentials that allow you to be an 'expert.' If not, I suggest taking any 'longevity claim' to the proper authority...which is Guinness World Records...whose current expert is...me. So, if you have a claim to make, feel free to make one, but don't make it FIRST on WIKIPEDIA. It must be made first elsewhere.

Sincerely Robert YoungRyoung122 23:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings,

Whenever we are looking for matches in the census, we have to check several factors to be sure the listing is for the correct person. Note that Mr. Filipe Prista Lucas already found a likely 1920 census match (listing Ruby Greer as '15' years old), with the correct location (Sumter Co, GA) and several identifying factors, such as the right mother's name

Based on several reports, we know that she was born in

Sandersville, > Washington Co., named Ruby Macie Grayer, and raised in Americus, > Sumter Co. by a woman she believed was her aunt. With this > information, I believe I was able to locate a possible match in the > 1910 census. There, I found a Rubbie M Grier, aged 3 and living in > Americus, Sumter Co. with uncles Paul and Ida Howard. In the 1920 > census, I also found a Buby Greer (Ruby in the original) in Americus,

> Sumter Co., now living with her mother and aged 15.

So, if she was reported to be '15' in January 1920, that would make her born in 1904 and age 103. But since the 1910 census was written closer to the birth event, it is more likely to be true. And the April 1910 census lists her as age 3, which makes her 100 years old.

Note that Ms. Muhammad herself admits that she was 'illiterate until 1946' when she converted to the Nation of Islam and learned to read. So, can we expect someone that can't read and whose age is already distorted by 1920 to really know exactly how old she is? The bottom line: using the principles of proofs of birth (and not proofs of existence), the expert opinion is that she is '100 years old.' For the sake of some, we allow them to note that her 'claimed age' is 110...we call that a 'longevity claim.' But in reality, it's not likely to be true.

If, however, new evidence comes to light, feel free to contact someone such as myself, the GRG, Louis Epstein, etc. to investigate.

Sincerely Robert YoungRyoung122 23:56, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Fggfg.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Fggfg.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:20, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Habib Miyan[edit]

Plyjacks, although Habib Miyan 'now' claims birth in 1869, he previously claimed birth in 1872 and before that, 1878. Since he started with '1878' we're sticking with that one. Also, his 'ID document' (even though the name is of a different person) says '1878'. The bottom line: the claim is ludicrous, and he can't even keep his story straight.Ryoung122 08:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regards Robert

Greetings, User Brown-Haired Girl has waged a campaign to wipe out the entire 'supercentenarians' field on Wikipedia. This has included:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_November_1#Category:Supercentenarian_trackers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Robert_Young_%28longevity_claims_researcher%29

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Epstein_%28supercentenarian_tracker%29

And, even, a man dead over 100 years:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Thoms

I find it incredulous that one would attack even the man who invented the term 'folklore' and started the field of 'supercentenarian tracking.'

Such mass hysteria seems to be working. User BHG is one of the top-10 editors by edit count on Wikipedia and has lots of friends. I can't imagine most WWI veteran articles surviving if this trend continues. I do urge everyone who considers tracking the oldest-old, whether WWI vets or no, to chime in on these debates.

Ruby Muhammad[edit]

Please review the concept of Wikipedia:No original research. Until this material is published in third party, independent reliable sources, we cannot accept original research on any article, and especially none in those articles that fall under the aegis of Wikipedia's policies on biographies of living people. Cheers, CP 03:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add original research regarding the biographies of living people to Wikipedia, you WILL be blocked. Please understand that we cannot include such material until it is published in third party, independent reliable sources. Cheers, CP 23:43, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also suggest not conducting personal attacks off-wiki, as you did on the World's Oldest People Forum. Please understand that Wikipedia can only report what is verifiable from reliable sources, it is NOT a repository for original research: yours or anyone else's. Also, I note that it's very difficult to yell at someone on a talk page, especially when they uses words like "please." Cheers, CP 03:21, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Plyjacks, it should be noted that in the context of what Wikipedia calls a "realiable source" (ie/ WP:RS) the source you added is not considered to be one. Now the information that is on that unrealiable source may be correct, but in the context of an encyclopedia until that information becomes more mainstream (ie/ by appearing in more realiable sources) in cannot be used. This isn't the fault of Wikipedia, instead is a fault found in inherently unnotable material that appears in Wikipedia. Until these items become more mainstream, they will almost always suffer this fate. What needs to happen with Ruby (say) is that her real DOB should be published more widely and reported as such rather than it appearing in a obscure web resource. Thanks Shot info 05:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have opened up a request for comment on a discussion that you had been previously involved in regarding Ruby Muhammad. If you wish to participate, your input would be highly valued, and you may comment here. Cheers, CP 07:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

June 2008[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Ronald McDonald. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page 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. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. I have specifically requested that you stop edit warring on the Ronald McDonald article an that you not remove any information pertaining to the creation of the character. Your repeated removal of this information constitutes edit waring and is against the policies of Wikipedia. Your refusal to stop has force me to report your actions on the 3R noticeboard.

Speedy deletion of Sue Kay[edit]

A tag has been placed on Sue Kay 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I noticed that you have been adding navbox code to a number of articles. In fact the code should be put in a navbox template so that it can be properly transcluded on relevant articles. Then changes to the template will be reflected on all those articles. Did you get the code from an existing template and why did you choose 1973 as the cut off date? I think this would be a great template to create and would be happy to take on the task, but I don't want to duplicate effort if a template already exists. Thanks. – ukexpat (talk) 21:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you missed my point - the navbox should be created as a template so that it can be easily reused and the text only edited once when changes are made. I'll take a crack at it. – ukexpat (talk) 03:11, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Ruby Muhammad[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Ruby Muhammad. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruby Muhammad. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Jsullivan.jpeg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Jsullivan.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 01:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.68.103 (talk) 01:34, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: John F. Keenan State Senator Article[edit]

Hi Plyjacks, thanks for the message. I've taken a look at the article per your request, and have removed two of the inline tags where references have been placed. The banner at page-top however, should remain in place until more references are added to the article. I hope this addresses your concerns :). -- WikHead (talk) 22:45, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Repost of Robert Young (gerontologist)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Robert Young (gerontologist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hang on}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. David in DC (talk) 18:59, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've deleted the page as the original concern of the AfD - that there were no sources addressing him as WP:BIO requires - was not solved. Unless there are at least sources to indicate WP:BASIC is met, it would be best not to recreate the article again. SmartSE (talk) 23:03, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:John Kerry second Secretary of State Portrait.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:John Kerry second Secretary of State Portrait.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 21:50, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Mark Fisher (Businessman)[edit]

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 Mark Fisher (Businessman) 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. TheLongTone (talk) 18:36, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 14[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mark Fisher (Businessman), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Sullivan (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.

Intentional disruption designed to illustrate a point[edit]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but your recent edits, such as those to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Avellone, appear to be intentional disruptions designed to illustrate a point. Edits designed for the deliberate purpose of drawing opposition, including making edits you do not agree with or enforcing a rule in a generally unpopular way, are highly disruptive and can lead to a block or ban. If you feel that a policy is problematic, the policy's talk page is the proper place to raise your concerns. If you simply disagree with someone's actions in an article, discuss it on the article talk page or, if direct discussion fails, through dispute resolution. If consensus strongly disagrees with you even after you have made proper efforts, then respect the consensus, rather than trying to sway it with disruptive tactics. Thank you. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 17:50, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
