User talk:T-bonham

Just saying hello and welcome...helpful, informed edits are always welcome in the horse articles! The quality varies widely, and there are a lot of stubs that need expansion...you can help! On the bigger articles, it's wise to do as you have done and put a comment on the talk page, but sometimes, especially when a poorly-written article has been abandoned, just dive right in. And never overlook a chance to click on a new wikilink...some good article you think is out there turns out to have been vandalized or moved, so maintenance is always a job for us all. Be sure to set up a good watchlist! Montanabw 04:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Queer Student Cultural Center

A tag has been placed on Queer Student Cultural Center, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --VS ^talk 21:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Invite to WikiProject Equine

This is the official word: WikiProject Equine was quietly created by someone while the rest of us were endlessly discussing a WikiProject Horse. We have an official project! So let's go with it, and I am officially inviting you to formally join! Go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Equine, add your name to the list and see what you can contribute. If you haven't already joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Horse breeds or one of the other "child" or "affiliated" wikiprojects at WikiProject Equine, please feel free to do so. Just trying to tag articles with the new templates has awakened me to the fact that there are over 1000 equine articles in Wikipedia! (My watchlist alone is now at something like 700+) There's much to do and plenty for everyone! Thanks! Montanabw^(talk) 09:23, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Tretter Collection

A tag has been placed on Tretter Collection, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Tretter Collection and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. GreenJoe 15:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. See Wikipedia:Assume good faith for the guidelines on this. GreenJoe 12:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you

The article you created, Mitchell_Wherley maybe deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mitchell_Wherley.

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

1. You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
2. You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
   
3. When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
   Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
   Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.
4. You can merge the article into a larger or better established article on the same topic.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 21:52, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

SHARE members created the MVS utilities?

I was a SHARE volunteer for 12 years and an MVT sysprog long ago, but I can't say I've ever heard that SHARE or its members created any of the MVS utility programs as you describe in IBM mainframe utility programs#History/Common JCL. Mind sharing where that knowledge comes from? It's the sort of statement that ought to be referenced if we can find one that backs it up. RossPatterson (talk) 06:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Peter Turnbull (author)

Hello, T-bonham. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Peter Turnbull (author), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Peter Turnbull (author) to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Wgolf (talk) 21:11, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
