Self citation/Personal research

I looked up the policy :

"Citing oneself Policy shortcut: WP:COS This policy does not prohibit editors with specialist knowledge from adding their knowledge to Misplaced Pages, but it does prohibit them from drawing on their personal knowledge without citing their sources. If an editor has published the results of his or her research in a reliable publicationItalic text, the editor may cite that source while writing in the third person and complying with our NPOV policy. See also Misplaced Pages's guidelines on conflict of interest".

The citations in question are on the S&W Model 10 article and refer to a Gunblast.com article. Others I have used are from print magazines-generally VonRosen publications, GUNS Magazine, American Handgunner and occasionally from a co authored book.--Mcumpston (talk) 15:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The page as it stands has no link to the Large Stone Structure, this leaves readers ill-informed. deleting the link I put in is not constructive on your part. Elan26 (talk) 00:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Elan26

While I'm sure there's nothing wrong with placing a link to Large Stone Structure in the See Also section of the article, the text you added appeared to push a particular viewpoint without backing it up. Per WP:PROVEIT, I removed the section in question. --/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 00:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tom Vallance

Hello, I see you're requesting deletion of Tom_Vallance_(writer).

But you haven't followed the correct procedure and have not filled in anything on the Articles_for_deletion page.

Please remove the AfD message and leave the article as it is. I think 22000+ Google hits is sufficient justification for "notability":

Google search for Tom Vallance

It would be more helpful to the community if you could create your own articles (make something new) instead of going around deleting other people's new articles which you have not yet properly researched. Thanks!

Double-check that; there's a discussion there. I also suggest you read up on Misplaced Pages notability guidelines (WP:NOTE, for example) yourself- sorry, the notice stays. --/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 01:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Mendaliv,

I was just curious why you consider a game developer that has "a leading position in the European serious games industry" non-notable?
The other two admins I talked to said their deletion-'toughts' was unfounded, and really just based on not knowing the subject. I was just curious about your reasoning.

Smokin' Armadillos and WP:TROUT

Why the heck did you tag Smokin' Armadillos for speedy deletion? The article made a clear assertation of notability by means of not one, but three charted hits on the country charts and two albums on Curb Records, which is a very notable label. Please do a little research first before tagging — I just have to WP:TROUT you for this one, I'm sorry. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 04:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Erm whoops... I had one too many PBRs this evening and went a-patrollin'. --/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 04:58, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not interrupt me while I've just started editing this article!!!! Please allow at least 24 hours and not 1 minute thirty seconds before adding your inanities. And read the edit summary, which says I'm adding bit by bit. I am currently writing the reference list, bit by bit, like all my other mathematical edits. Take some time to look at them before interrupting me again!!! Mathsci (talk) 23:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
