Hi! This article was tagged for notability and it caught my interest. As you would know, the guy was famous in his time and now becuse of his body of work. I added a bit of stuff and removed the tag but the article deserves some work. Someone who reads Italian could do a service on this one. I'm watching it with interest. Cheers!

Francis Matthews

That was a good catch that they are one in the same Francis Matthews. I googled it to double check, and you are right. Well done! --Briancua 23:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Carl A. Anderson

Hi Dwain. I note that you created Carl A. Anderson. Do you have any connection to the organisation? --WikiCats 14:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

If your are a good catholic man over 18 you would be eligible to be nominated. If you have any interest in this organisation please email me. --WikiCats 22:12, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Many are called, few are chosen. Pray about it. Email me.--WikiCats 00:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Jimmy Fallon

I've reverted the article to what I believe is the better photograph. Thanks for coming to me for help, and please let me know if there are any further issues with this. - Brian Kendig 18:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Our Sun day Visitor

The stub you wrote about this has been marked for speedy. There are people looking through the edits and foolishly deleting all stubs as not showing notability. I removed the tag as absurd, but it will surely be marked for deletion in a few hours or days unless you greatly expand it. There is quite a lot to say, as I am sure you know. -- Wish I had time to help more personally.DGG 00:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Pro-Life Celebrities

Dwain, I thought you might like this list as it is going to be deleted!

This is a list of noted, or famous people that are against abortion and are of the Pro-Life ethic.

Barnaby Cabe

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Barnaby Cabe, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. •Jim62sch• 17:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

I've requested page protection at WP:RPP, hope it clears things up. (although you say you're a conservative...hey, anti-vandalism unites people!) —Ignatzmicecontribs 13:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Why would people find your profile offensive?

I may feel it shows a certain credulity (especially in detecting any trace of leadership, honesty, morality, etc. in George W. "whited sepulchre" Bush); but there is nothing which any sane person in a democratic republic should find offensive. I hope the vandals tire of you and go bother somebody else; I haven't been harassed for days now! --Orange Mike 23:28, 19 September 2007 (UTC) (took some of that reactionary Ben Stein's money once)

Is this Pitchka who started a page on Jose Lopez-Gaston?

I would like to talk to whoever started that article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.163.185 (talk) 04:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Solomon P. Sharp

I hope to further expand this article, as well as Jereboam O. Beauchamp in the coming weeks. If all goes well, I might even create a new article for the Beauchamp-Sharp Tragedy and try to make a featured topic out of all three together. If you're interested in helping, feel free.

BTW, your user page gets some serious vandalism, huh? Amazing. Believe it or not, there are some other conservative Wikipedians! Acdixon 21:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

That's interesting about Noah Beauchamp. If you can cite a source, you could mention the connection between the two in their respective articles. As for how to help on these articles, I usually start by adding any reliable sources I can find to the Further Reading section of each article, then start expanding the article from them, starting with the shortest source and going to the longest one. I'm almost finished expanding Solomon P. Sharp from the Cooke article; next I'll try to get my hands on a copy of the Bruce article and extract pertinent information about Sharp from it. Sharp's article will probably be ready for a GA nom by then. My cardinal rule is to cite everything as it's added; often when you're done, you end up with at least a GA-quality article. Only problem is no images of Beauchamp or Anna Cooke. If you run across any, please upload them. Acdixon 18:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ouija Board Criticism

The article Ouija Board Criticism has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A separate page solely for criticisms of something inherently fails WP:NPOV

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nat Gertler (talk) 00:40, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
