[edit] Dreadhead Article

According to the Wikipedia:Notability (people) article, one of the criteria for inclusion is a "A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following" and "Name recognition" all of which Dreadhead has in the Indianapolis Colts community. The Dreadhead appears in the team's opening video, in the program and on the big screen as "AAA - Fan of Game," in addition to his weekly occurences on the big screen in RCA Dome. In the Indianapolis community, the Dreadhead has been recognized on countless occasions, and in his former college community of Muncie, IN. He has also appeared on several Colts Caravan promotional tour stops, recognizable as such.

Sources will be placed, but in your desperation to delete, the page hasn't existed long enough for me to provide them.

Try looking at this story where he is quoted: http://www.wishtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4837613

"Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this." Don't tell us to come here to ask questions and not show up. You deleted the article and yet you refuse to answer questions about it?

Nice to see that even after a month, no response. NICE. Way to go. You're AWESOME! -- User:Oshaberi 09:33, 27 December 2006

[edit] Speedy deletion

Thank you for giving me a warning that have listed Runestone U 29 for speedy deletion as "patent nonsense". There are many runestone articles on WP, and this runestone tells the story of a family. It is notable enough to have an exposition at a museum in Stockholm[1].--Berig 17:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

A simple look into Category:Runestones would have told you that the article is not "patent nonsense", that Wikipedia has lots of articles like it, and that if you do want to have them deleted, you'd need to start some major campaign to rephrase policy. I've removed the speedy deletion tag for you. regards, dab (𒁳) 17:55, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I apologize, your many userboxes led me to believe you were a veteran editor (in spite of the "NEW" one). I did not want to sound rude, and the scanning of new articles you are doing is important work indeed, Wikipedia does get a lot of nonsense additions. It's just that in this particular case, the article clearly doesn't meet speedy deletion criteria, and is very unlikely to pass even a full deletion vote. You are still free to add it to WP:AfD of course, although I recommend you do not. regards, and keep up the good work, dab (𒁳) 18:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion tagging as nonsense and warning users

Hi, about your tagging of Vincent tulio laconte and Travis Veracka as nonsense articles and the subsequent warnings issued to the article creators... these are not nonsense articles, but should instead be tagged as {{db-bio}} and article creators should be left a note with {{nn-warn}}. -- Gogo Dodo

[edit] Cad Operator article

I note you've deleted the opening line ("Cad Operator [...] is a civilian staff position within London's Metropolitan Police Service.") from an article (Cad Operator) I created recently when breaking up Metcall into more digestible chunks. I've reverted this, as without this context the article makes no sense.

I've left your {{copyedit}} tag on the article in case I've missed something - however, I'm not quite sure why you've put it there - the article's a deliberate stub (its sole point was to stop it cluttering up the main Metcall article, and the only links to it are from the two other pieces of the original article - Metcall & Contact Handling System); it's drawn from a single non-contentious source (the MPS's own website); while it's uncited this is purely because it's a recently split article and the references are on the 'parent' article; it contains no spelling or grammatical mistakes. Additionally, almost all the text in this article was cut-&-pasted from the parent article, where no-one appears to have had any problems with it. Am I missing something obvious?

[edit] Perdikkas/Perdiccas

"Perdikkas" is a variant spelling of "Perdiccas." The spelling with k's is used by Mary Renault in her books on Alexander the Great. By all means delete Perdikkas, but please leave a redirect (I would do it myself if I knew how to do it) for the benefit of people who read Renault, and people who have read about Perdikkas in the original Greek. Thank you very much. Erudil 16:44, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

This is in reply to the message in my talk page, under the subtitle "Baptism of Jesus," just before "Perdikkas/Perdiccas." This is irrelevant by now. The redirect is already in place. But I thought it only civil to answer your latest message. Thank you. Erudil 16:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

• Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
• Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

Thanks for your help! BuddingJournalist 08:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
