[edit] Shelley Sekula-Gibbs, Houston City Council member and candidate for Congress from Houston/Sugar Land

Please review the debate on this article for deletion and provide your opinion please: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shelley Sekula-Gibbs. Thank you. --Getaway 22:19, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for voting.--Getaway 17:39, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem on voting. Take care. --Myles Long 18:20, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chrome Division

The band above has been deleted, though I heavily disagree with the poor reasons given. I have been discussing the situation with another person who edits music articles, namely Spearhead, so both our pages will give you an idea of the situation. Geni is the admin who deleted the article, citing the fact the band has only released a single album as a sufficient reason for deleting the article even though WP:MUSIC states that "Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion", something Geni has ignored.

Looks like this has been settled. Sorry for the delayed reply. --Myles Long 18:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

It's ok, thanks for the help. LuciferMorgan 20:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Witchfinder General

Hal Raglan has requested a peer review of the Witchfinder General article but has not received any comments. I reviewed the article for him shortly before he nominated it as a Good Article. He posted a message at the Horror Wikiproject talk page, but to no avail. Would you mind critiquing the article for him if you have the time? I'm sure he would appreciate it.

Thanks for taking a look at the article. As you suggested, I removed the redlinks. If you can think of anything else that might make this a better article, please let me know.Hal Raglan 03:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

If possible, could you take another glance at the Witchfinder General article? I self-nominated it as a Featured Article candidate two days ago and not a soul has bothered to Support, Oppose or Comment on it. I'm not sure if this means that nobody at all has any interest in the film or not, but it seems bizarre to me that every single one of the FA candidates submitted AFTER Witchfinder have received massive votes and/or editorial commentary. So I'm soliciting your assistance. If you believe the article currently meets the FA criteria, could you vote accordingly? And if you think it definitely needs further work, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.--Hal Raglan 16:13, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your vote of Support for the article!Hal Raglan 23:38, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prince

Someone reverted my edits when I attempt a reference cleanup at Prince (musician). At first I thought he edited a mistake I did so thanked him but on closer inspection noticed he reverted my edits, though he may have thought I had been vandalising. The user is Relir - you can check the edit history. If nothing more happens then consider it a misunderstanding, though if the problem persists I will get back in touch.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Festival Bay Mall

I have to day I was surprised to see you were an administrator given your single word keep "vote" on the above page. We made disagree as to the nobility of the article, but providing no support for you "vote" is a weak contribution to the discussion. I came to your page to provide some advice, assuming you were a newbie, but you seem well versed in wiki policy. Just surprised.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 17:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. I left a single word there because I'm a lazy bastard, hah. Seriously, I thought I'd left a more compelling argument, honestly. I'll add a comment to that discussion. --Myles Long 17:13, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keeping per Silensor

Hi, I noticed that on a few AfDs you have kept per Silensor(and his essay) and in those AfDs I had also posted a link to my rebuttal essay. I was therefore wondering if a) you had read my essay and b) if so what you found less than persuasive in it. The essay again can be found at User:JoshuaZ/Schools. Any comments would be appreciated.

[edit] WikiProject Filmmaking announcements

Just thought I should let you know that I've reverted your recent addition of the Witchfinder General FAC from the announcement box for reasons which will be apparent upon perusal of the project scope - we don't cover individual films. Please contact me if you have any disagreements with this. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola 20:22, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I see your point. However, Portal:Film indeed does highlight individual film articles under its "Feature Content" section. Thus, I would assume that those perusing the portal (where the film project's "to do" list also appears) might be interested in commenting on that film's FAC. --Myles Long 20:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Myles, that's the whole reason for portals existing - so that interrelated projects and articles can have a common access point. However, the article falls outside of the scope of the particular WikiProject, so it should not be placed there. It would, of course, be fine in both WikiProject Films and the Film Portal. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola 19:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Umm, yeah, that's the point. I'm well aware as to the reason for portals existing, thanks. I put it on WikiProject Film's "to do" list, or at least I think I did. Ahh, now that I look at it, I see that both projects' "to do" lists are on the portal, my mistake. --Myles Long 19:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FYI

There has been some discussion on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/El rancho charter school which may interest you. JoshuaZ 01:48, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

I edited the 'chicken suit' page because I didn't know how to go about telling you guys that I wanted to recommend it be deleted. You just reverted it without sending me anything helpful to help me resolve the matter, which was useless and incredibly ignorant of you. If you could tell me how to nominate the 'chicken suit' page I would be grateful, or if you could do it yourself, but I shouldn't have had to ask twice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.157.103.147 (talk • contribs).

Sorry for the delay, I was about to post this message on your talk page, along with the above welcome message. To answer your question, to nominate an article for deletion, follow the steps outlined here. --Myles Long 23:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Misattribution

You have, I assume inadvertently, used the {{unsigned}} template to incorrectly attribute a statement to a well-known and respected editor, when in reality it was actually made by an unregistered user. I trust you realize how seriously someone is liable to take it when you "put words in their mouth", so to speak. I've since corrected your mistake, but please be more careful in the future. --Michael Snow 23:44, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka

Thank you very much for your support in my RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I do appreciate your comments, am still in support of the Wikipedia project, and will continue to contribute without interruption. Thanks again! --Elonka 17:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RFA Thanks

[edit] Image:Coodergraw.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Coodergraw.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok ☠ 03:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
