[edit] The Be-Rad

Thanks for nominating bad articles for deletion. Please note that for biographies such as The Be-Rad which are biographies that do not assert the notability of the person discussed, you can tag them for speedy deletion by adding {{db-bio}} to the page; no AfD nomination is necessary. Please see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for this and other speedy deletion criteria, and their tags. Kimchi.sg 01:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi please add a little info about their nationality and occupation : Bulgarian terrorists? They then need nationality categories e.g Bulgarian terrorists etc James Janderson 20:58, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stub sorting - Giant Short-Faced Bear

I noticed that recently you marked Giant Short-Faced Bear as {{animal-stub}}. Please be aware that {{animal-stub}} has many sub-categories, including {{mammal-stub}}; and that {{mammal-stub}} itself has {{carnivora-stub}} as a sub-category. This is where Giant Short-Faced Bear belongs, since it belongs to order carnivora, as its taxo-box shows.132.70.50.117 05:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Model aircraft articles

Hi! I see you've created a spate of articles about model aircraft manufacturers. However, all of these articles are very short, provide no context, and many of them don't appear to be about notable companies. Rather than creating dozens of articles with no content, perhaps you could create a list of model manufacturers? Or you could add more information to existing articles? Let me know if you have questions, and happy editing! -- Merope 19:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gävle Goat

I'm speechles! This goat is (in)famous in USA, Japan, Europe, China etc. Is that notable enough for you......I wont youse harsh language.....This time......Don't be so F***ing trigger happy next time! I just spend over 2 hours on this article! FreddyFred 12:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE don't go around on Wikipedia and nominate articles for deletion before you KNOW they need to be. Use the discussion board or the creators TALK page before you do anyhting next time. And definetly not delete something that oviously have strong facts OR really exists. That's just plain stupid. I got my text back, so no damage done. But THINK next time........ Other than that: have fun on Wikipedia, it needs you! FreddyFred 12:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for Deletion: VeritasAcademy

Thanks for paying attention to articles that aren't worthy of inclusion in WP! I wanted to point out that you can list multiple, related articles for deletion under the same heading by following the directions laid out here. Keep up the good work! -- Merope 17:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, we were all new once. (And I still make mistakes!) Just let me know if you have any questions. -- Merope 17:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nelgetha

For articles whose deletion are probably not controversial, such as Nelgetha, you should try using proposed deletion first, by adding {{subst:prod|reason=Your reason for deleting.}}. It will save you time making AfD nomination pages. Regards, Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 19:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Another reason why we would greatly prefer you to use proposed deletion first is that it clutters up the AfD log with uncontroversial deletions. Regards, Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 19:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

If you aren't sure when to use prod, just remember this simple rule: Always use {{prod}} first, no matter what type of article. Use AfD if and only if the {{prod}} tag is removed. Thanks! Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 21:08, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Www.pokemoncenter.co.nr

Hey, there. It would be much more useful if you added a specific reason for the db tag. By itself, it's kind of useless. Cheers. (|-- UlTiMuS 21:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alfonso de Spina → Alphonso de Spina, and stub templates

I've redirected the article you created, Alfonso de Spina, to the already existing and more complete article Alphonso de Spina. Please check for such duplicate spellings before creating articles. Also, I'd recommend looking through this list to find stub tags that are more specific than simply {{stub}}, and therefore better for articles (category:stubs should be empty.) Thanks. Picaroon9288|ta co 03:56, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy of 38 Acres

This was a somewhat inappropriate tagging. First of all, WP:CSD says that for cases where the assertion of importance is disputed, AfD should be used. Obviously, that is going on here, as there's an AfD debate, and the prod was contested. Secondly, read my comment in the debate: this is not a speedy candidate, and never was. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Non-criteria, specifically "non-notable subjects with their importance asserted. It's almost never appropriate to tag an article for speedy deletion during an AfD debate, though: possible exceptions are if it's discovered the article was written by a banned user, or was a near-exact repost of a previously AfD'd article. Mangojuicetalk 16:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem, it's a subtle point; not even all the admins understand it. Sometimes, articles that DO meet the speedy deletion criteria make it to AfD; in such cases, they can bee speedy deleted, but it really shouldn't happen when it's under A7.  :) Anyway, I just try to inform as many people as possible.

I have proposed this article for deletion. --Brianyoumans 00:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 12:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Purposed deletions

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the following articles: Mohawk Airlines Flight 411, Federal Express Flight 597, Mohawk Airlines Flight 405, 1963 Rochester air crash, FedEx Flight 7145, FedEx Flight 647, FedEx Flight 597, Airwork Flight 23, and Runway incursion between US Airways flight 1170 and Aer Lingus flight 132; suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). If you disagree, discuss the issues raised at the article(s)’ talk page. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. – Zntrip 21:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 13 September 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mohawk Airlines Flight 40, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] link to Rolls Royce

Hello, when you want to link to the article about a Rolls-Royce, please do not link to Rolls-Royce, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as Rolls-Royce plc by writing out [[Rolls-Royce plc|Rolls-Royce]]. Regards, Jeff3000 02:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New articles

The new articles that you have name are greatly appreciated. One thing I would like to tell you is when you create a new article about an airplane crash with out a flight number please use this formant for the title: Year Airline Aircraft airplane crash. Calling it a disaster in the title could be considered not NPOV. Remember to check the spelling and grammar of new articles too.

If you wish to add the article to the list of notable accidents and incidents on commercial aircraft use the following format: *[[Month day]] – [[Airline]] [[link to article|Flight number]], a(n) [[aircraft]], crashes near [[city]], [[country (or state)]] while descending to land, killing all 24 people on board.

If there is no flight number replace: [[Airline]] [[link to article|Flight number]], a(n) [[aircraft]], crashes with a(n) [[Airline]] [[aircraft]], [[link to article|crashes]].

Thank you for all your edits and I look forward to more of your articles. – Zntrip 16:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] May 14

Spare me the potted lecture. Every aircraft accident is not notable per se and neither is every concert. The date pages do not have room for everything, so judgements must be made, however much of a hobby you've made of a particular subject. Pretending as if you have some sort of authority that trumps others' judgement is also off-putting, so stow the smug attitude while you're at it. --CalendarWatcher 16:24, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 27 September 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Surinam Airways Flight PY764, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:N1809E 3 years before crash.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:N1809E 3 years before crash.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Vandalism

I don't appreciate your vandalism of a work-in-progress. You marked a page {{db-nonsense}} within two minutes after I had created it, obviously not understanding what you were looking at, and not waiting to see if anything was to follow. —QuicksilverT @ 23:49, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Please be aware that I told this user that if he was working on a page, he should put an inuse tag on it, and that s/he had at least 5-10 minutes after I said so to do so, but he did not bother, and the page I tagged was subsequently deleted, as tagged. - Blood red sandman 11:26, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turkish Airlines Flight 1476

This is a page that needs a lot of work (Turkish Airlines Flight 1476). Seeing how you edit aviation related articles, I thought you might like to take a look at it. – Zntrip 05:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

It’s absolutely fine, you can edit the article at any time. – Zntrip 15:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Danny Phantom discussion

Hello. You recently participated in a discussion on the possible deletion or merger of some Danny Phantom characters. While all the articles were kept, I noted that many of those commenting on the debate suggested merging some characters into a main list. Seeing this, I've compiled a list of some of the minor characters who may not need their own article, and would like the opinions of those who weighed in originally. You can participate in the discussion here. Ral315 (talk) 18:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Shipwrecks

Thanks for joining! We await your assistance. Evan(Salad dressing is the milk of the infidel!) 18:36, 20 October 2006 (UTC) Could we have a nice cup of tea and sit down?I want to figure out a coordinated effort between you and I (until more people join, that is) so we can speedily make the shipwreck articles. Basically, it's gonna have to be more of a plan than I'll work down, You work up. So I'm inviting you to my usertalk page for a chat and some tea.

Meet me at User talk:Esoltas/Tea with Blood red sandman. I have a statement made ready. Bring your splenda. --Evan(Salad dressing is the milk of the infidel!) 01:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'd appreciate...

I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk down to me, as I am a more experienced user than you, and have been a member on here much longer. --SilvaStorm

Apology appreciated, thank you. --SilvaStorm

[edit] WP Shipwrecks

Visit User:Esoltas/WikiProject Shipwrecks/Votes please. Evan(Salad dressing is the milk of the infidel!) 18:39, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe the the article Exxon Valdez belongs in the category "shipwrecks". A shipwreck is a wreck or derelict that has been abandoned. When the Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef was an accidental grounding. The Exxon Valdez was removed from the reef, repaired and put back into service. Even if you are using shipwreck as a verb an accidental grounding in which the ship is re-floated and repaired is still not a shipwreck. KAM 12:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] helpme

I just expanded 2006 Cape Town truck-train collision and converted references to footnotes, but the text showing up isn't all as I wrote it and some of the text has been lost completly. Can someone fix it please? Blood red sandman 14:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Take a look now. The basic problem I could see was your backreferences. You had something like <ref name="BBC> which is effectively an unclosed tag, so you needed <ref name="BBC /> (This doesn't apply to the initial definition where the </ref> closes it) --pgk 14:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
That makes sense. Many thanks! (I'll post the same on your talk page since you probably won't get it here) Blood red sandman

[edit] Thanks for the fireworks incident links

Thanks for the fireworks incident links over at that AfD. I also see you are a member of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Disaster_management and have started several articles such as 2006_Saroma_tornado. Good stuff! :-) Carcharoth 10:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Milwaukee explosion

Interesting reaction re: my off-the-cuff Queen's Hotel reference. Personally I think such an article would probably get AFD'd almost instantly, but if it were supported, what the heck. Unfortunately under current Wikipedia rules like WP:CITE and WP:V I would be unable to write such an article given my very limited knowledge of the topic. (I only remember it because my Grade 5 teacher was a friend of one of the dead firemen, and a few years back the Saskatoon Fire Department erected a statue in their memory.) It might not hurt to put an article request at the Saskatoon article because there are a few bonafide historians involved in that article. Me, I couldn't do a good job based upon my limited knowledge of the topic. Thanks for the thought, anyway. Cheers! 23skidoo 22:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lizzieisatree

I've removed your report of Lizzieisatree (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) from WP:AIV. Frankly, the name doesn't sound like an insult to me, and if it is intended as one, it is, as you say, an exceeding weak attempt. Thus, I can't find any reason why this name would not be allowed by our username policy. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 14:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

That's fine by me. I wasn't really sure, but I put it up to be safe. Blood red sandman 16:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Blood red sandman, welcome to the WikiProject Fire Service! It is my goal to increse the overall quality of articles on English Wikipedia relating to the fire service while keeping an international perspective. Please feel free to leave me a message with any questions! I look forward to working with you! --Daysleeper47 15:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
