Edit summaries[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Drop shot. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 00:34, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
American Matador[edit]
How about using the discussion page on the American Matador article instead of reverting edits without a reason? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:25, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I just figured out how to access a discussion page (and will use them in the future) although I'm still figuring out how they work. I also didn't realize that this was the second time I edited that point. Being a Ronnie Montrose completist, when I read, "Ronnie Montrose – slide guitar," I get the impression that he's playing on every track. I know from the CD insert that he's only on Track 12 thus the need for clarification. Also the same thing applies to Bonilla's EE Ticket. Ronnie only plays on "Razorback" Track 10. I won't re-edit that one but again the appearance is that Ronnie plays on the entire album. Bobglickman (talk) 22:38, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
August 2010[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Coverdale and Page (album). Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Trafford09 (talk) 22:48, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
"Always provide an edit summary"[edit]
How about conforming to the guideline "Help:Edit_summary#Always provide an edit summary", or explaining why it doesn't apply in your case? Trafford09 (talk) 22:52, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I recently figured out how to access a discussion page (and still am not 100% I am doing it correctly) and how to add an edit summary. I will use them in the future. Is there any way I can retroactively add them? Bobglickman (talk) 1:54 am, Today (UTC+1)
- Hi. Thanks for getting back re this. You see, the ES's help with vandal-patrol. No need to change past edits. Note that the summaries can be very simple - like "added guitarist", or "c-e" (for copy-edit) - doesn't need to be long at all, unless you want to explain a complex change.
- By the way, if you wanted to be autoreminded on each edit (like many of us do), to avoid accidentally leaving edit summaries blank, you can select "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" on the Editing tab of your user preferences. Hope this helps. Sorry if I appeared abrupt earlier. Happy editing. Regards, Trafford09 (talk) 01:13, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Replying to another editor's comment[edit]
Hi again. Just noticed that you may be unclear on how to use these Talk pages.
When replying to another editor's point, or question, you only need to type your reply in one place - either in the same place as they raised an issue (e.g. here on your talk page), OR on that editor's talk page. But there's no need to do both. Wikipedia will automatically add your talk page to the other editor's wp:Watchlist, which means that they can see your reply, when they click their My watchlist tab. That's the tab you'll see now at the top of this page - or any page you are on later. You may care to hit that tab now, & see what's on your own Watchlist - it should be the same as clicking this link here.
If you have any queries, just ask them under here. Cheers, Trafford09 (talk) 01:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll use these new tidbits immediately. Bobglickman (talk) 02:09, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Great stuff. Happy editing. :) Trafford09 (talk) 02:18, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- I saw your edits and wanted to add my tuppence worth here. Keep up the good work! ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 16:35, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Glenn letsch[edit]
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
A tag has been placed on Glenn letsch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate 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 by adding {{hangon}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Brambleclawx 22:56, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
- I was working on the next section when I saw the 'Speedy deletion' showed up which I had never seen before. So I added the next batch of material then started to read the material above. Bob
Speedy deletion nomination of Sawbuck (band)[edit]
A tag has been placed on Sawbuck (band) 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 band or musician, 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 musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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 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.

- Sawbuck is a small but important band. It's related to the formation of the bands Montrose and the Edgar Winter Group. It's also vital the the histories of Ronnie Montrose, Mojo Collins, Chuck Ruff and Bill Church and Van Morrison's album Tupelo Honey.
Pointers[edit]
Hi Bob,
A couple of pointers for you.
1. Dealing with wp:speedy deletion notices. I see you received a couple such notices, above. The way to deal with them is to follow the text in the notification:
- "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 ... , 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."
Instead, you've seem to have been making comments on your own talk page - where nobody may notice them, so they won't help prevent the articles' deletion.
Also, you would probably find Wikipedia:Requests_for_feedback very helpful to read, if you were thinking of creating another new article, and it's best to draft new articles in your own wp:user space.
2. Please remember to Sign your comments. Please see wp:sign#How to sign your posts for how properly to sign yourself.
If anything is ever unclear, please drop me a line on my talk page, or use the {{helpme}} facility, here.
Happy editing, Trafford09 (talk) 15:13, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your continued interest. I'll contact you if I have any problems. I am working on an interview with Ronnie Montrose himself and placing it on a webpage. I have been having trouble linking Tupelo Honey back to the Sawbuck (album) page and having it stay linked.
- Bobglickman (talk) 01:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Great - sounds like you're having fun, & doing just fine - keep up the good work!
(Nice signing there, BTW!). Trafford09 (talk) 04:27, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
User pages[edit]
Me again. I have this compulsion to share ideas, so please humour me. :) Do forgive me if you already knew all this ...
A lot of people choose - as they're entirely entitled to - to leave their own wp:user page empty, with the result that their account name & signature stays in red on history pages etc. (as in here). You'll know that your own user page is empty & in red for now - User:Bobglickman. That's perfectly fine.
Others prefer to use their user page to show the articles they've created, or helped edit, or maybe the projects they're working on, ideas for the future, tips they've picked up & want in one place for reference /passing on, etc. etc. - you name it - basically just about anything they fancy having there.
So their user names & signature appear in blue, & other editors can see what their niche /forte is, for instance User:Agadant - we can see he/she does a lot on music albums etc. & their name's blue on the history pages of the articles they've edited again, here.
So, we can choose relative anonymity (red) or sharing ideas (blue).
There's no correct way - it's entirely personal choice.
But it did occur to me that it's interesting to see what articles interest people, & in your case, I wondered if you'd considered putting the following onto User:Bobglickman:
- Sawbuck is a small but important band. It's related to the formation of the bands Montrose and the Edgar Winter Group. It's also vital the the histories of Ronnie Montrose, Mojo Collins, Chuck Ruff and Bill Church and Van Morrison's album Tupelo Honey.
Obviously, you could then edit / expand your user page just as & when you (& only you) saw fit.
Ah well, just a thought. Thank you for reading (if you got this far!). And just to reiterate, you don't need to do anything - it's completely a matter for you alone to choose or not, as you prefer - and no deadline either!
Best, Trafford09 (talk) 07:25, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Sawbuck (album)[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 Sawbuck (album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. 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 music.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Ten Pound Hammer and company • (Otters want attention) 03:23, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
The article Sawbuck (album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Not notable, no sources. A9 declined for no reason.
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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
