AutoWikiBrowser

Thank you for your recent application to use AutoWikiBrowser. Regrettably, I have declined your request as you do not have 500 mainspace edits. You are welcome to apply again at a later time. Feel free to contact me with any questions, Alphachimp 20:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I do, but they aren't all attributed to this account. As my userpage mentions, you can see my prior contributions here. For some time, I made edits without an account, but failed to mention this upon my application. Regardless, I worked quite a bit on the WP:MISSING project this evening and have exceeded 500 edits. ++ Arx Fortis 08:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Billy Graham - my mistake

I just replied to you on the talk page. My mistake (removing your quality entry and working link on the AIDS subject). The smear/quote mine was so blatant that in my haste to delete it I did not realize the latest version had the correction. Sorry for the confusion/disruption.

"Fix it and readd it"

Apropos of the article on Bush the elder: Please don't encourage somebody to "fix" and later readd what's obviously tripe. Thanks! -- Hoary 09:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Please use a little more tact when criticizing the edit comments (and assumed motives) of others. I'm a bit lost here: are you referring to my criticism (a) of the trivia-adder (and, later, trivia-mass-deleter) or (b) of you? If the former, sorry [to you, not him/her] but all my patience was used up. (I'll avoid biting those "newbies" who seem to be attempting to have a clue.) If the latter, I hadn't thought I either was or seemed critical; certainly I hadn't intended to be. -- Hoary 01:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Cortes Generales

Thank you for experimenting with the page Cortes Generales on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Sagaciousuk ^(talk) 19:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

You are mistaken (unless it's just your bot). I was not "experimenting" with the page Cortes Generales. I was tracing activity from a certian user/vandal and attempted revert vandalism on that page. After doing so, I then realized it had already been reverted, so I reverted my own edit. ++ Arx Fortis 19:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

No it wasn't a bot that set the warning, but thanks to the rush yesterday, your edit that accidentally added back vandalism was picked up by the script which throws up potential vandal edits to me - and I tried to revert it and it seems you just beat me to it. When something reverts ok to the script, I leave a warning. I apologise, as the script usually detects when there has been edits after the one I try to revert - but it must have been us both trying to fix. Keep up the good work! --Sagaciousuk ^(talk) 02:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Wildlife of North Carolina

I have reverted your image edits at Wildlife of North Carolina. Though these images are not necessarily optimal, you can feel free to find or create alternatives before removing the existing ones. This article, like all wikipedia articles, is a work in progress. If you have a complaint with any of the photographs, please use constructive criticism, rather than destructing the available page. Nimur 18:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I respecfully disagree with your assertion that a bad picture is better than no picture (in regards to the bird and flower pictures). Further, the focus of the bridge picture was just that - the bridge - and made the river an afterthought. I have replaced both the flower picture and the bridge picture. I suggest removing the turkey vulture picture as there are two bird pictures on this page, while none for mammals or reptiles. ++ Arx Fortis 05:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your thoughts and contributions. Your work on the article is much appreciated. Sorry if I was overly zealous- I noticed a new editor at the article who was making deletions, and I forgot to assume good faith. Keep up the good contributions, I'll try to do some later this week.

Issue with Redirect

I request help from an admin regarding the redirection of an article and the actions of another admin. I un-redirected an article and restored the content as I disagreed with the other users's assertion that the information doesn't belong in it's own article. I asked that the user please discuss the issue on the talk page before re-reverting, but he refused to do so. The article is part of a larger issue than just a "list." It involves succession boxes (like the one shown below) and the ability to click on the title and be directed to a complete list. (Why should users have to click through the entire succession to see the list?) I feel that starting NFL QBs are notable in and of themselves and that the lists for each team's starting QBs could be a page. It is not as if I am suggesting Wikipedia host a list of every starting player in every position in the History of the NFL.

I just simply don't understand why that user's opinion is more "important" than mine or the other 8 users who contributed to the article since its inception. This information is not in the main Miami Dolphins article and frankly doesn't belong there (that article is long enough as it is). Unfortunately, the user who reverted is an admin and, frankly, I feel intimidated by his 2nd revert for fear that the admin might ban me if I revert again. For this reason, I haven't restored the article.

What bothers me most is that this admin refused to allow any discussion of the issue before redirecting, then refused again after I requested discussion. In my two brief years of editing Wikipedia, I have never found such obtuse actions by an admin.

The article is (was) this:[1] but has since been redirected to the main Miami Dolphins page.

Sample succession box:

If he really refuses to have any sort of dicussion, I would continue asking him until you are quite sure that he knows exactly what he is doing. I would then ask for maybe a mediation at the mediation cabal. If he doesn't respond to that, then he is most certainly a troublesome editor and administrator intervention is probably required at WP:ANI. Hope that helps.

Woah, I just realized. You are saying the reverting editor is an administrator? What is his name? GofG _|^|_| Contribs 02:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Silene virginica

I really like the image that you uploaded and added to Silene virginica it really captures the flowers nicely. I am a little concerned that though you gave it a GNU license you have tagged it with the summary "I am the photographer of this image and I release it to Wikipedia." This statemnent and the GNU license are, I think, contradictory. Also I know that according to Wikipedia:Image_use_policy section "Free licenses" states that "Licenses which restrict the use of the media to non-profit or educational purposes only (i.e. noncommercial use only), or are given permission to only appear on Wikipedia, are not free enough for Wikipedia's usages or goals and will be deleted." Thus if your summary statement makes it not "free", it would be violating this policy. I would hate to see this nice image lost for this reason. I would also encourage you to write longer and more descriptive summaries of what the image is. Summaries should include: Description: The subject of the image Source: The copyright holder of the image or URL of the web page the image came from Date: Date the image was created. The more exact, the better Location: Where the image was created. The more exact the better Author: The image creator, especially if different from the copyright holder Permission: Who or what law or policy gives permission to post on Wikipedia with the selected image copyright tag Other versions of this file: Directs users to derivatives of the image if they exist on Wikipedia Hope this helps.

Trigun

Thank you very much for putting your edits back in ^_^ I'm sorry about the reverting I keep doing, but I'm getting very tired of the article becoming a battleground for "how dare you include a section on the nature of relationships?" ~SeventhHaido 11:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Bolding links on "List of notable accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft"

Image:Impatiens pallida.jpg

Hi Arx Fortis. That image was actually a yellow form of Impatiens capensis (see the image now on Impatiens pallida). I moved your image to commons (Image:Impatiens capensis yellow form.jpg)... it's generally much better to upload your images there, rather than Wikipedia.

BTW, since you're interested in wildflowers, you might be interested in the Bloom Clock on Wikiversity (see v:BCP/Impatiens pallida for how images are used there) :). --SB_Johnny | ^PA! 09:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 00:53, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Trigun and its contradictions

I went back and whatched the intro for the very first time and much to my suprise you were right! Partially. It is indeed that way in the intro but if you look at a wanted poster (ep. 1) it is very clear that the $$ is before the numbers. Gess they dicided to change it in the series but forgot to make everything match.

btw (from top poster) http://www.geocities.com/cinqkingdom/trigun.jpg

Crud. I want back and whatched ep 1 and what I was recalling was the tile of the episode: The $$60 Million Man. I still swear that there is a poster with a reward on it. (Can't recall whos) I will get back to you after I re-watch all of the episodes.

Isn't he called the $$60 BILLION Man? Doesn't Wikipedia even have Userboxes that say $$60 Billion on it? I see the spot that you're referring to, but the rest of the anime writes it as $$60,000,000,000, with the $$ first. Remember, the animators had a really tight budget at the start of the anime, so they might not have caught the mistake throughout the rest of it. See! That guy saw the same poster that I did! ForestAngel 06:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Also, isn't the first episode titled "The $$60,000,000,000 Man," with the $$ first? Because that's how I keep seeing it. Everywhere I go, that's what it says. The $$ go first. And if you think I'm wrong, try Googling "Trigun screenshot $$60,000,000,000." With the $$ first, you get 92 hits. With the $$ last, you get 3. The first is the Wikipedia article; The second and third don't even use the $$, because they spell out the words "double dollars." And if you try just "Trigun $$60,000,000,000," most of the hits will only be "Trigun-6,000,000,000 Man." And if you look through the hits, most of them that DON'T just say "6,000,000,000" will have the $$ first, just not highlighted. Another nail in your coffin: when you Google "The $$60,000,000,000 Man," you get 11,300 hits. Note with the $$ FIRST! Now, Google it with the $$ last, and you get 595 hits, the vast majority of them having nothing to do with Trigun. Of those hits, like I said before, most of them either had the $$ first, or not at all. I found (and yes, I actually counted this out) 10, including the Wikipedia article, that actually had the $$ last. You want me to send you screenshots for proof? Because I will if you do. ForestAngel 06:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't call the kettle black. So by that logic, in the REAL world, we put the $ after an amount of money. You're also saying that the hundreds upon thousands of users who look at this, and the even more hundreds of thousands of people WRITING these are wrong. I've also looked on the Wikipedia pages in other languages, since you mentioned that OBVIOUSLY only the ENGLISH translation must be wrong! How do you know that the Japanese writers didn't know whether or not the $ came first, since in Japanese, the Yen comes AFTER the amount of money (Like I said, low budget)? I've looked on EVERY language of Wikipedia, and they either spell out "double dollars" or they put the $$ first, so it's NOT just in English. Oh, and I DO have a screenshot! In your FACE! ForestAngel 08:30, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Whoa, you're right about her 'tude. I guess you are the kettle in this case. Anyway, the two strongest pieces of evidence of where to put the double-dollar sign is the English-translation title card for the episode and the wanted poster as seen in the episode. Since the wanted poster is art and not actually the title of the episode, I would side with the dollar signs to go before the number. Cheers! In Defense of the Artist 04:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Tagging issues

Ahem, this could involve a megasearch

Hi!

re: The three {{fact}} taggings in: this edit

• Please use the format {{fact|"some text as to focus of question or what is to be confirmed" | {{Subst:DATE}} }}, or some such clue as your complaint. You can add a million pipetricks in a template, and imbedding a comment like that is a good practice and means of stating your concerns.

• Further, the subst:DATE template works with MOST common maintenance tags to provide the proper date formated syntax for maintenance auto-categorization tracking, etc. and prevents the need of edits like this fixup because you didn't provid e a proper date.

• T'would be nice if your summaries used the template NAME (i.e. {fact}— a single set of curly-braces sets it off nicely for those perusing history) and included some focus to the request on that summary too. I generally just copy the tagging line into the summary and edit there to save typing... either way, leaving clues for those who come along behind is only courteous--we all only have so much free time.
• You seem to be keying in on the word 'experiment' in the text.
• Someone has cleared the second, and the first fact tag should be easy enough to run down, but the third cite request seems to be both contrary to common sense, and could be a difficult time sink (as it involves 4-5 years experience with the series, upto hundreds of thousands of posts on the website 1632 Tech Manual, and so forth) and is therefore asking for an awful lot of effort to confirm the self-evident concept that making an entire town an protagonist in time travel was an experiment. I know he's written about it somewhere, but recollection of where and when is missing.
• In short, what exactly are you asking be confirmed in the third fact tag? I don't mind investing some time for things that matter, but this seems a bit trivial. It could be a turn of phrase for example.

Hope you had a good summer! // FrankB 13:14, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Frank, I wasn't doubting that 'experiment' was the appropriate word to use. However, as it was a presumptive statement about the author's intent, it seemed a citation was warranted. "Years of experience" and participation in "hundreds of thousands of posts on the website" could be interpreted as original research. However, at this time it appears an edit and a citation have already clarified the assertion.

Thanks for the pointers on making myself more clear. Cheers. ++Arx Fortis 04:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

No offense on the 180/181 revert

Hey there, just wanted to say no offense for reverting your revert of the anon IP on the airline accidents list. The anon IP was correct: both the Wikipedia article and the sources cited by the Wikipedia article say 173 passengers + 7 crew = 180 fatalities.

I just wish these anon IPs would use edit summaries so it's easier to tell if they are correcting a mistake or engaging in subtle vandalism. heh... Anyway, no offense meant on the revert! Thanks! --Jaysweet 15:02, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Westboro Baptist Church

I agree with your rv comments about this so-called church on the Baptist page. However, they are front page news with their venom, and they bandy about the name "Baptist." The news media do not include a disclaimer that "they're not really Baptists." I've talked to quite a few who haven't heard the full story about them, and are lumping them in with mainline Baptists. I would appreciate it if you would put something in the place of the too-lengthy statement that you removed that would meet the concern about them really being Baptist. Thanks for considering it.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Trigun Ep1 screenshot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Trigun Ep1 screenshot.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.

Questioning your proposed speedy deletions of articles I just posted.

Hi. Only minutes after I created a short article "Mobile pedestal" and a redirection from "Storage cabinet" to "Stationery cabinet", you have placed a notice on them proposing speedy deletion.

Perhaps you know the rules better than I do - but before acting further, could you please read the reasons I've placed on those articles' talk pages justifying their retention? If those articles are not acceptable, then it seems to me many others which stay in Wikipedia are also not acceptable - probably including a couple of others I've done too. Short definitions seem quite common, if they are on the topic and give a fair description of the subject; and redirections are very abundant indeed - and I think they are justified and useful, too.

If my articles must go, I would appreciate knowing the reason, and getting any suggestions on how I might be able to strengthen the articles to justify keeping them.

No worries. I do think that earlier version asserted enough importance to take it out of speedy range (mentions a book award and states, though doesn't list, that she published six books). In any event, I was not trying to be too normative, though reading it over it I can see how it may have comes across that way. Sometimes I don't know how I sound at the time I write something. I just like to drop a note when I decline speedies (in this case I actually modified a standard template {{sdd2}}). You're correct that an article doesn't cite sources or list major works, the user hasn't established notability, but one needs only an assertion of importance to avoid speedy deletion under CSD A7. Everything else is for Prod or debate on the merits at AfD.

Thanks for adding that tag. I was just about to myself. I'm not a novice at Wikipedia, and I would not create a page if it was not notable enough to create it.

Need help

I'm not sure where to go with this: Is allmusic.com enough of a citation to merit notability for keeping an article? (Example: this page for this article.) While patrolling new pages, I've been seeing a lot of music/band/album articles with this site as the only citation. If there are no other references or assertions of notability, should the page be tagged for deletion? It seems that if allmusic.com wants to literally catalog all music, that's fine....but it doesn't mean that Wikipedia has to. Arx Fortis (talk) 00:27, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

If you're unsure, try {{tl:Prod}}. This basically lists the article for deletion; if someone cannot come with a proper reason as to why the article is to be kept within five days, it'll be deleted. Bjelleklang - talk Bug Me 02:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. I think I just got carried away with the other user. The Articles for Deletion page only had one other argument for Deletion, and I've never seen this much one-sidedness for an argument to keep the page.

Please do not delete my page!

I have seen your decision to delete my page and I do not understand why! I think that you decided that when I was just begining to write it! Please look at it now! I have seen that nobody wrote in English about the Izvoarele commune from Tulcea, Romania. My grandparents live there and I gathered a lot of information about the legends, traditions and others. I also spoke to a History teacher from Greece about the Greek Revolution and told her about the local slogans and language. I also studied this on the internet and books! I took in consideration all the possibilities! I said all I could about the village! Please this is important to me and to the greek people from there! It is about our origin! Please reconsider! Take another look! Now it's almost finished... I promise I will check it periodicaly and add new information! Please tell me if it is good! I must remind you that I was just starting it! It was 3 o'clock here in Romania so I went to sleep but the next day I finished it! Please take another look before doeing anything wrong... or at least explain to me what made you delete it.
Thank you for your understanding and for your patiance!

User talk:*bj*

A User is allowed to remove warnings from their Talk page. Please stop re-adding them, that's harrassment. Corvus cornix_talk 04:16, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Even while Administrator intervention is being requested? ++Arx Fortis 04:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Read Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments. Corvus cornix_talk 04:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It seems very counter to common sense that a user would be allowed to remove warnings from their talk page while they were in the very act of vandalism. Regardless, in addition to your "advice" to me, why didn't you also discourage the user against obvious vandalism and harassment of me? I'm just wondering why you singled me out. ++Arx Fortis 04:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I have no idea what your disagreement is. I don't know if or what the other person did. I'm not really interested. I commented to you because I saw your edits in Recent changes. Corvus cornix_talk 04:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

While recent changes is a wonderful tool, your comments "I have no idea what your disagreement is. I don't know if or what the other person did. I'm not really interested." epitomize the issue at hand. You didn't consider the context which resulted in a somewhat knee-jerk reaction. Even under the most pedantic interpretation of WP:DRC, it is not intended as means for a vandal to hide their warnings so they can continue vandalizing. Given the examples shown, there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell this guy was going to stop his vandalism until it was noted by an administrator and appropriate action taken...in this case a three-day ban. Regardless, I don't make it a habit of reverting talk pages. ++Arx Fortis 05:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

The context of the discussion has no bearing on your repeatedly adding unwanted warnings on another User's page. Corvus cornix_talk 05:08, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of whether I was wrong or right, my point is, if you're trying to make a constructive contribution to Wikipedia, perhaps you should find out the context before applying a virtual template to a page. As WP:DTR says, "for most editors that have been around a while....telling them "did you know we had a rule against this" tends to be counterproductive in resolving the issue." ++Arx Fortis 05:20, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

We have nothing further to discuss. Don't attack a person for pointing out your inappropriate behavior. I will not reply to you further. Corvus cornix_talk 05:22, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't attack you? Where did I do that??? ++Arx Fortis 05:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.....no reply. ++Arx Fortis 05:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

• Note to self: Someone else pointing out what they feel is my "inappropriate behavior" is OK...but suggesting that that someone else could have handled the situation better himself is considered a "personal attack".
• Second note to self: Ignore the double standard.

*bj*

It used to be considered vandalism, but now it's more or less recognized that a user has the right to do what they will to their own talk page. I don't really like the practice, but that's just the way it seems to be. bibliomaniac15 04:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

That's why I don't like it, but revert-warring with them in their talk page for warnings is just as counter-productive. bibliomaniac15 05:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Like Arx Fortis, I have trouble understanding why we would want to let vandals get away with simply deleting vandalism and block warnings on their Talk Pages. So I raised this here and as you'll see, Alice.S was quick to point out that these are proposed guidelines only. Let me just repeat here that if we let vandals get away with removing warnings it will only make it easier for them to persist and worsen the vandalism problem, thanks.

Thanks for the info, Shawn. ++Arx Fortis 23:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I checked out the history of the article, Jon's Music Company, and I agree with you — I think it's a hoax. I can't find the location of the place on any of the maps (i.e. Google Maps), or find it mentioned on any other site online, and the website doesn't seem professional either.

Flag On LBH Article?

Hi Arx -

I just had a question about your replacement of the US flag on the Little Big Horn article - 36 instead of 37 stars. I appreciate your justification - but if your date of 1867 is correct, then shouldn't the 37 star flag be correct? The battle was after all in 1876, and Nebraska became a state - the 37th - in 1867. Wouldn't that make the 37 star flag correct? Sensei48 (talk) 05:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Lamium purpureum

I've just re-removed the gallery from this page and I wanted to explain my rationale. First and foremost, the gallery was covering up the taxobox. Secondly, an article of that size has no need for a gallery, and indeed galleries are generally avoided by most at WP:PLANTS unless there is some specific reason that merits one. As the images within it were just a collection of random photographs, a link to the commons serves the same purpose without cluttering the article. If you disagree strongly, feel free to reinstate it, but please make sure that it at least doesn't conflict with the taxobox. Cheers. DJLayton4 (talk) 07:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

That looks fine for now, although the best scenario would be to integrate the photos with more text, of course. But we could say the same for any article I suppose. I like your photos by the way. Cheers. DJLayton4 (talk) 20:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Boeing 787 cabin LED lights.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Boeing 787 cabin LED lights.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

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 [[ Talk:Image:Boeing 787 cabin LED lights.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hio

The graph is sneaky because it is racist, as has been discussed on the discussion page, there is no such graph in either of the Iraq war articles. Basically what it is is racism, ever since the Nazis people have always used Russia size against it in propaganda; Russia is so big and has so many people that is why we can not win etc etc etc. But the second anyone inserts such a graph in both the Iraq war articles I will gladly insert in the this article as well.

Sneaky vandalism is that the person who reinserted it most likely used sock puppets to form a false support for the graph, since the micro second after he posted it on the discussion page 2 fresh accounts immediate agreed with him and so did an ip address, I mean just seconds after he had posted it. And then later when he again reposted it he called it reverting sneaky vandalism Jim Furtado (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I found this on WP:MOSDAB: Never include external links, either as entries or in descriptions. Disambiguation pages disambiguate Wikipedia articles, not the World-Wide Web. To note URLs that might be helpful in the future, include them as or on a talk page.

If you feel this man was important, please add the link as described above (so it won't show on screen, but only to those who are editing it) rather than as a standard reference. Some editors (I'm not really among them) have also been concerned that this website has been added to a huge number of articles, and are concerned that this is advertising - only because of the huge number that have suddenly popped up. They are therefore often deleting the information. If you think he is notable and deserves an article, it might be worth you writing one, or at least a stub that can be expanded. Red links are routinely removed from disambiguation pages because people mistakenly think they are not permitted on these pages.

I hope this clears things up a little; I found his article on the website interesting, so he sounds worth you starting an article on.

stokely and wakelin 1824 speedy deletion - for copyright violation

hi Regarding deleteing this article as being not notable. Hi Regarding deleting this article as being not notable. the company was founded in 1824 and was an important ant horn comb manufacturer before the advent of plastics -- it exported combs from England to America and the company was then very well known an ordinary thing like a comb used to be expensive as it was made of horn. The company Stockley and Wakelin does not trade any more so there is no commercial pourpose.

copyright speedy deletion

There is another delete tag that that the article violates copyright as the material is elsewhere on the net. There is no copyright violation as the text elsewhere on the internet is my own. I am selling a Comb from made by Stokely and Wakelin on e bay and decided to do a write-up on Stockely and wakely - The comb is being sold for six pounds - so my intention to write the article on the company could hardly be for the purpose of flogging the one ccomb. Rather a comb was and is an important article of everyday use. There are no articles on horn combs which were used before plastics on Wikipedia and I was only trying to fill a gap by writing a article and improving on horn combs about what we used before plastics. Any way the article can be undeleted so that I and other wikipedians may improve on it and contribute to the knowledge of horn combs. Jopling100 (talk) 07:50, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

User:Dalestorian

{{helpme}} Need assistance with user and article. User is Dalestorian (talk) and possible anons or sock puppets editing the article Rick Hendrix. It has become apparent that the user has a conflict of interest and may, in fact, be Rick Hendrix given the comments on his image page. The user continuously adds back a very lengthy list of awards, commendations, and achievements without citing any of them. The user refuses to engage in dialogue, despite repeated attempts via the article's talk page, his talk page, the talk page of Order of the Long Leaf Pine.

What is especially disconcerting are edits like this, after I have made edits like this. He just change the year and added it back. (Regardless of the fact that Jim Martin was not governor of NC in either 2004 or 2003.) In doing research on Order of the Long Leaf Pine, I requested and received a list of all 6,000+ recipients of the award from NC Governor Mike Easley's office. (This is not original research as the list is available to anyone who requests it.) Rick Hendrix is nowhere on the list.

This calls into question many of the items listed in the article. (The contributor claims Grammy awards for songs he didn't write (e.g. Butterfly Kisses); items of questionable notability (e.g. 1997 Hendrix on CBS News); items that make no sense (e.g. "1994 Recognized by President Bill Clinton in 1994" - recognized for what? why?); I could go on and on.

Of the two citations in the article, one doesn't even mention him. There are a few external links at the bottom that do mention him, but I don't see any of the assertions in the article mentioned there.

There are so many problems with this article and the contributor(s) refuse to engage in dialogue. I don't know where to start to resolve this. ++Arx Fortis (talk) 08:46, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I suggest you take a look at the dispute resolution pages. Take this to the article's talk page and then request dispute resolution, for example a third-party opinion or a request for comments.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:53, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Commercial Airports in North Carolina.png or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Proposed deletion of CAV/CLV

The article CAV/CLV has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I don't really see the point of this page, as CAV/CLV is not a particularly scientific or common term, and any user that hears this phrase could easily break it down into its components.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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.
