DJ Kidd

Hey, im the author of DJ Kidd, and I'm sorry I'm new to wiki. I didn't know what undo-ing really did. I thought it was to request and talk directly. I hope you read this and can respond to my discussion/talk page on DJ Kidd. I don't understand the afd thing, but fans at facebook have agreed to helping improve the article. Can you enlighten me how to avoid deletion? please? --Musiclovers00 (talk) 05:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Many links

there are many links. Is it possible that if more base is found, that the article will remain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Musiclovers00 (talk • contribs) 05:44, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

How do you meet the criteria for inclusion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Musiclovers00 (talk • contribs) 05:48, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

proof=

I read the article... and it said if it meets at least ONE? right? as i said, i am new, and i am sorry. but dj kidd has 1) been an hour long topic on TV6 (Trinidad and Tobago's largest tv network) 2) create music for advertisments, and the 7 o'clock news intro, 3) performed in and won 78-22% vote on 'synergy tv's dj write-off' 4) was featured in an album with popular crossover band Raymond Ramnarine and The Dil-E-Nadan. Isn't that enough? or do we need evidence? i can obtain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Musiclovers00 (talk • contribs) 06:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Captain EO

I saw you were in an edit war concerning an unsourced section. Just some advice: rather than continue to delete large sections of material, I find it better to source the material yourself. a little insignificant 00:33, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

There can't be a source for such info - that's why I keep deleting it. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 00:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I've taken a look around, and I think you're right. The editor involved is User:Yu559 (talk|contribs). I've left a message on his talk page, but by all means feel free to discuss the matter with them yourself.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Chris Denning. 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. HarlandQPitt (talk) 00:35, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Notifying users of speedy deletion

Hi, do you think that when you tag articles for speedy deletion you can notify the creator? There's a bit of text in the template that you can copy and paste into the user's talkpage. Thanks. Smartse (talk) 20:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

It's not something that even occurs to me - some bot should be handling that aspect of the process. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 20:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

should be, but it doesn't run fast enough. Do it yourself. Wouldn't you want to be notified if someone tagged your article? DGG (talk) 04:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

CSD G1

Hey! Just thought you might like to review the CSD criteria. Not every page qualifies as patent nonsense. I have fixed one of them, as you will notice. And it has been deleted. Happy Editing! --Syed Kazim | Talk 22:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Eric McDavid

I apologize if I have angered anyone, I did not mean to start an editing war. I am simply trying to present an unbiased view of Eric McDavid's appeal. I am new to wikipedia editing and I am just beginning to understand the rules of citing and referencing. If you have any suggestions please feel free to help me along. I don't know how to cite a motion for appeal, but I do have a copy of the appeal and I assure you that the information represented in my edit is correct and unbiased. Thank youMReichel (talk) 21:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate that, but I assure you I am not the lawyer in this case, even if my username suggests this. However I do have a copy of the motion to appeal the McDavid case and all my information comes from this document. I am not trying to start any editing wars, once again thank you for your help. If I try to post this section with the appeal correctly cited and referenced will that follow the guidelines of wikipedia? I don't see how anything I've written is slanted or biased, I have simply stated the facts of the appeal, nothing more.MReichel (talk) 21:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey thank you again for your input, I made several changes to my article and I have cited the motion to appeal as my source. If there is anything else you would like me to add or subtract please feel free to let me know and I will make the changes. Thank you againMReichel (talk) 22:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

A motion to appeal is NOT a reliable source. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 22:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

How is it not a reliable source? It's the ONLY source for information regarding McDavid's appeal! I have cited it properly and I am frustrated as to why you keep deleting it. I am not taking any stance as to Eric McDavid's guilt or innocence, I am simply providing the information that is in the appeal.MReichel (talk) 22:26, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

What else is there to say? Reread reliable sources and it's associated pages again. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 22:32, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I did reread this section and I feel that this falls under the category of self-published sources. If this does not meet the criteria, do you have any other suggestions as to how I can make this post? I appreciate your help. Thank you

"Self-published sources are largely not acceptable, though may be used only in limited circumstances, with caution, when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." MReichel (talk) 22:40, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Who is the expert and in which third-party publication has their work appeared? A filing by an involved attorney hardly qualifies, and if this filing is the ONLY source, then it's inherently dependent on said attorney. Give it up; you're not going to successfully wikilawyer this one. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 22:49, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

As reviewing admin, I took a look at this. You can give the fact of the appeal, and source it to the court paper.--but you must add some way of actually identifying and seeing the paper. You can not give a detailed account of the reasons for the appeal, unless they have been published by the court, or in a newspaper. The reason should be obvious--in an appeal, the attorneys job is to say whatever might possibly help the client. That is not the same as matters which are found by a court to be accurate. In the US adversary system of justice, where there are two sides, half of what the various attorneys say will almost necessarily not be correct. /as fir providing the information, the simple link will do it. 98. was quite correct to remove that section, though I restored what I could of the reference link itself.. DGG (talk) 05:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your help, I will try to figure out a way for the appeal or some of my sources to be properly cited. I appreciate this and I assure you once again that my intentions are not to vandalize wikipedia in any way. I will make the corrections and try again. Thank you once againMReichel (talk) 07:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Professors, and some general advice

We really appreciate your patrolling --you are catching a good deal of really bad vandalism, and some articles that need deletion. I've followed up on some of them, and given a few appropriate warnings--and will block if some of the worst of it continues. But you are putting speedy deletion tags on some articles that do not really qualify. Please read carefully WP:CSD, and look closely at the limitations. A7 for lack of indication of notability can only be used for the classes of articles specified--not for products. You;ve got to use prods for those. Also, any indication of notability is sufficient. Indicating that someone is a professor at a university, or has written several books, is an indication of notability. It doesn't mean they;re necessarily notable, but the bar for passing speedy is very low, as compared with WP:N. We have special standards for authors and professors--for faculty, see WP:PROF,. which is different from WP:BIO--in practice someone like a full professors at Harvard is going to be notable. all that is needed is to show that their books or papers are significant in terms of reviews or citations. But keep up the good work--I'm not trying in the least to discourage you. I do add to what WikiDan said--it is immensely to your advantage to get a user name. If nothing else, your good work will be taken more seriously, as it well deserves to be. You will also findthewatchlist deature very convenient to ensure that people don't reverse what you have done.

State your reasons for undoing factual information before removing it, the companies are totally legit and are headquartered in Silver Spring. Why do you single this page out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waveshi (talk • contribs) 00:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Poor placement, lack of context, redlinks galore, etc... 98.248.32.178 (talk) 00:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

The last few such edits you've undone had no red links. Given your concern for section placement, I suggest you simply move the section rather than undoing the edit and blanking it. As editors we're to assume good faith and collaborate with others when possible. —ADavidB 02:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Like you have any idea of my qualifications. The statement you are asserting makes NO sense in context. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 03:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you provide a reference to why it doesn't make sense? --Esthertaffet (talk) 03:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I provided you a reference that you clearly rejected. It is a suitable source. -- Esthertaffet (talk) 03:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure, it's a valid source. But the sentence you're trying to implement makes no sense.

"An unrealistic alternative to orphanages would be to have adoptive parents adopt.

How the frak does that stand up to basic logic? Now you have a nice day, and in the future keep in mind that discussion about the article should take place on the ARTICLE talk page. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 03:25, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Well if you didn't have a problem with me, I wouldn't have to talk to you on your page. The article discussion page is only for developing the article. The fact that the foster care system is broken must be revealed. Stop hiding that fact. It is hurtful to all those children who were "lost" in the system. --Esthertaffet (talk) 03:28, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Elevator Love Letter

It appears that you are trying to nominate this article for deletion. However, as an IP user, you cannot complete an AfD nomination on your own; only registered editors can do that. If you specify a good reason to request deletion of this article, a registered editor may be willing to help you and complete the nomination. However, since no explanation has been given for the deletion yet, it is possible that another editor will dismiss the nomination for deletion for being incomplete. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

You must have missed the "No indication it meets criteria for music singles" that was in one of my edits. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 03:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Understood. You need to stop revert warring. Please prevent a cogent case for the deletion on the talk page and one of us will create an AFD for you. If you continue to revert, you violate WP:3RR, and you may be blocked from editing temporarily. alphachimp 04:12, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

How much more cogent than "doesn't meet the criteria" does it need to be? That's a rhetorical question, BTW. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 04:14, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Look, I appreciate your activity flagging CSD A7 band pages. I'm personally unfamiliar with the criteria for music singles. That's what I mean by creating a case for it...just link to this criteria and explain how it is not met. alphachimp 04:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Red ink does not always indicate or call for deletion. It simply indicates that there are no wikipedia articles. Some red ink names indicate that new articles are called for. Some on the list are notable...Modernist (talk) 21:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Charity: water

Irwin Crosthwait

Hey so I requested the page I started to be removed for speedy deletion as a result of I wanted to work on it more first before making it in the public domain and I received a notification from you about not starting a page about self promotion. I first want to say that the man I was starting the page on I have never met, the only reason I felt compelled to start the page was because someone had started it earlier but copy and pasted off of a website and therefore the article was deleted. I felt that it was up to either I or another in my family to start up this page as a result of the fact that it is us who owns the rights to the use of his images since over the time we have come under the possesion of almost all of them. I understand that it looks a bit iffy at first but I assure you the man was a well respected artist with a certain degree of fame in his time (his name has even been cited by others under notable fashion illustrators on the fashion illustration page) and I am willing to prove this with various citations within the coming months. My main point to all this rant being I guess that I hope when I have most of the article written and decide to post it you do not remove it as a result of "self-promotion". If you have any more concerns or opinions to share with me about this I would greatly appreciate it.

If it's well-written, well documented and not promotional you shouldn't have a problem. 98.248.32.178 (talk) 23:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
