Troublemaker

Hi Bettia, as an admin I was wondering if you'd know what to do about this guy. His/her only edits are placing vandalism warnings and ban threats on the talk pages of editors who have not warranted it, such as myself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Welshleprechaun (talk) 09:01, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry, he's been indef blocked. Bettia (talk) 15:15, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

cfcuk fanzine

Hi

The text on the cfcuk entry was changed a couple of days ago. If you look at the log for Nawlin you will see when. Unfortunately, it seems I (mis)used the word 'notable', using it in 'general terms' rather than its use by way of Wikipedia terms.

As far as we are aware, the cfcuk fanzine is the ONLY Premier League and Championship fanzine which has a cover price of £1 which is regularly published (at least 12 issues per season)

Perhaps the word ‘unusual’ should have been a better choice for the first attempted entry as I suspect / hope this furore would not have occurred. As I said, the entry was changed the other day and I hope that the changes meet your criteria.

The ‘offending’ chapter of the article NOW reads;

“The cfcuk fanzine is unusual amongst football fanzines as it is now one of the only football fanzines that does not feature a full colour front cover and is famed for the fact that it only costs £1. It is on sale at every Chelsea Football Club 1st team match at home, away and abroad.”

Thank you

There's no furore here; we have literally dozens of discussions opened every day regarding deletion of articles (and other items as well). This is a routine process. To read about how Wikipedia defines notability, please see WP:NOTABILITY. The discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cfcuk will continue for about a week and when community consensus is reached on whether or not the article meets guidelines, it will either be deleted or remain.

Cardiff music scene

Hi Bettia, as a Cardiff-based editor could you help out at this article? I've raised a few issues that need addressing on the talk page. Thanks.--Pondle (talk) 20:37, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bay Pointe

Hi Bettia, following our conversation on this article's talk page, I've put it up for AfD - thought you might like to know.Pondle (talk) 11:57, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi :)

i am sorry that I created a useless article called "Hugedrive" and I understand it was deleted. I am going to improve it in notepad, and perhaps publish it to Wikipedia later when it is more notable. I might also make is longer, or not publish it at all to Wikipedia if I find it is useless. But I still want a copy of it. Can you please send me the deleted article? Thanks!!!

The style, prose and indeed content still require massive work. But are you a little less dismissive of the POV aspect?

George Perez

Hi;

I made a new page about George Perez (actor). There is another person (comic artist) on en.wikipedia whose name is also George Perez. Can you help me about this. Or can you rename the other George Perez's name to George Perez (comic artist) or something like this. Can you make an disambiguation page then. Thank you. Metu Impact (talk) 19:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taken care of, was asked of a couple of editors. Cheers, Amalthea 20:31, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice one, thanks for that. Bettia (talk) 11:48, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cornish Sharks and other BAFA teams

I am an American player that plays in the UK as an import.I get paid to play over there so that means that the BAFA teams are professional football teams.Hit me up at fogballer55@live.com for more info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.156.209.136 (talk) 21:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. Having one paid player in a team doesn't automatically make the entire team professional. For the team to be professional, every (or at least the vast majority) of its players would have to be paid a full-time salary. As far as I am aware, the only European league where this is the norm is Austria, and I think there are some German and Spanish pro teams as well. This certainly isn't the case in the UK - almost all players are unpaid. There's an article about the league here where it specifically states that the UK game is amateur (''Both Spanish and German teams have money to spend on imports, whereas the game in the UK is meant to be strictly amateur, so we will always have problems playing against semi pro clubs when we remain amateur. This situation is likely to continue for a long time, as there’s no money in UK Football."). Cheers, Bettia (talk) 11:48, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Economy_and_industry_of_Cardiff

Hi Bettia, I posted an RFC on the Economy & Industry of Cardiff template, but sadly it seems to have created little interest. So I figured I'd message Cardiff-based editors and see if they have views. I'd be grateful for your input. --Pondle (talk) 22:25, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy

Hi there,

A page I created was deleted before I could make the adjustments to allow it to conform to Wikipedia's standards. Could you possible userfy the Storex Industries page so that I could change any information that might appear as advertising to a more encyclopedic tone. I'm still figuring out how wikipedia page creation works.

Thanks so much,

Wales

I have put the Wales article forward for GA status. It just needs tweaking, and maybe a heavy-handed swipe from outside to get it in place. I am writing to those who are constant contributors and defenders of Wales and Welsh articles, to not scream at me for doing this, but to help get the article through. If we fail, we fail, there is nothing wrong with that; but Wales should be a Good Article at least. Thanks FruitMonkey (talk) 17:11, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What in the world do you have to do with NASKA?

Dear Bettia,

My name is Art Scott and I'm a retired U.S. Army combat chopper pilot, former pilot for the 160th SOAR. From 1990-1993 I competed in and won a several tournaments on the NASKA circuit, even winning the Grand-Championship in Weapons Kata/Open Division, both in the Budweiser Nationals, and for the year in 1991 and 1992. From what I can see in your participation log, you are the one who deleted NASKA as a legitimate topic from Wikipedia. Now, I'm 44 and retired, but I do give the odd seminar, travel with Professor Thomas Sotis, and Joyce Santamaria and I consider each other family (IOW, have a connection FAR beyond a student/Sensei relationship, all out of deep mutual respect), and my accomplishments in NASKA as well as my measley MMA appearances both allow me to fetch the dollar I get for teaching.

The following paragraph is directed towards whomever the imbecile is who felt NASKA isn't "real" enough to deserve an entry, or significant enough. If you're the one who decided the entire page should be deleted, then the reference is to you. If there never WAS a NASKA page, then there needs to be one made--in fact I'd be more than happy to do the research as Sensei Joyce was the producer and promoter of the 5A tournament held at Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Nationals. She stopped promoting in 97 or 98 I believe.

Why did you delete "NASKA" as a page? Perhaps you might want to consider there might be some organization of which you've been a part which, should someone just go ahead and erase, might damage your career? Did you even think about people like "Nasty" Anderson and Caitlin Dechelle and many others who, along with me, site NASKA in references as proof of our accomplishments? NASKA is still alive and well, and the 2011 season is already well into the planning stages. So why in the world would someone delete the page?

I'm only writing you about it because you're the one who is listed as deleting it, and yet I'm guessing your British, so why in the world would YOU delete ANY page which starts off with "North American." That would be like me deleting something starting with "European" which, as an American, I know I'm not qualified to do.

Wow... the presumptuousness of some people never ceases to amaze me.

I hope I'm wrong and you're NOT the person who deleted the NASKA page, in which case I apologize for the message, but if I'm not... 24.92.174.170 (talk) 17:22, 30 August 2010 (UTC)MACKSPANE[reply]

Okay, a few things to point out here.

Firstly, Wikipedia is open for everyone to edit regardless of their nationality, and that's goes for admins deleting articles as well. Me being British doesn't mean I can't have anything to do with American articles - indeed, if you bothered to check my contributions, you'd see I've edited quite a few articles about American football. Likewise, there are many Americans who work on subjects outside their country.
Secondly, you need to be a lot more civil when addressing people here - you certainly don't have the right to come onto anyone's talk page spouting off and dishing out insults like "imbecile" and "presumptuous". I'd thank you to read our civility policy, as breaches of this can lead to a user being blocked.
Thirdly, according to my search, the only NASKA page I could find was a simple redirect which was deleted by someone else over a year ago. How you got the idea that I'm responsible for this page being deleted is beyond me.
If you wish to start a new page yourself, your best bet is to read Wikipedia:Starting an article. When creating an article, you have to demonstrate the subject's notability by including as many third-party sources and references as possible, otherwise it's liable for deletion.

I hope this helps. Bettia (talk) 18:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
