I with you on the Death List / Pool issue. If you have any problems, give me a shout on my page. All the best in the just fight. Gretnagod 21:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bill-Daniel-meeting-JFK.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill-Daniel-meeting-JFK.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] dyk

On June 26, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bill Daniel, 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] David Mannon

I agree that this looks like a hoax. I can't find any information on this guys or his crime on any of the major news site or elsewhere. I have removed the entry from Deaths in 2006 and have contacted the author to request sources. Cheers TigerShark 15:38, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your article, Eric Schopler, was selected for DYK!

On July 18, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Eric Schopler, 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.

Thanks for your contributions! (note that technically I should not have selected it, the article was created too far back in time, but I did and I don't undo mistakes unless they're really a big deal, selected is selected) ++Lar: t/c 00:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What do you want cited?

You have added the {{fact}} tag to the death of Michael Anderson. What exactly is it you want cited? His death, or the films he directed, or the fact he got a Best Director nom in 1956? David | Talk 13:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

A link to a news source reporting his death, as I can't find anything so far on Google.--RMHED 14:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON FILLING THE PULITZER

COMPLETE UP TO 1983! James Janderson 19:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, it can be labourious finding all the internal links, especially as newspapers have a habit of changing their names.--RMHED 19:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal

Dude, stop vandalizing my articles. If you review the history pages you'll see your request for deletion battles have already been fought and won by me. This information has been shown to be relevant and frankly I was just cleaning up stuff and allocating it to a better place. It was in other articles before. User: Nlsanand

Dude, you're a punk for trying to get my stuff deleted the way you did. I'll give it three days...if you find any support I'll address your concerns. Though you never said anything on the Discussion page. User: Nlsanand

My articles weren't pointless and you did not give any justification for them, aside from you didnt like what they were about. I'm sick of people like you riding me for no reason. I am sure you do no care about public transportation but don't take it out on my articles. Why do you even care? The articles serve a purpose, maybe you just don't seem to care about it. Do you gain some joy out of ruining other people's work? And that's why you're a punk! You needlessly sabotage other people's work for no reason. And then you vandalize my user page instead instead of utting it in the talk page (where it's supposed to go. User: Nlsanand

Posting my comment in your user page instead of the talk page,was an accident, sorry about that. I have nothing personal against you or public transport, it just seemed that those articles didn't really belong in Wikipedia so I put them up for AFD. I'm sorry you're harbouring such hostile feelings about it all. --RMHED 02:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay man I can assume good faith on that. And maybe you have a point, but you didn't really justify why they should be deleted. These are articles which could serve to promote transit use, and also keep the available transit station articles short and sweet with relevant links for information. That is all I was trying to do. I will allow the Afd to remain up if there is support, I will concede that they should be deleted. Sorry if my reaction was a little over the top! --Nlsanand

Please feel free to delete my comments here. And I hope it's water under the bridge. :) Nlsanand 02:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I concede that I could have given more detail for my AFD nomination reasons . As you say it's all water under the bridge now.--RMHED 11:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion tags

Please don't subst speedy deletion tags. Please also remember to be civil. Describing pages as "total bollocks" is unnecessary, and may be a personal attack. Stifle (talk) 22:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Maybe it's time Wikipedia created a total bollocks CSD tag, as such a lot of new articles fall under its description. Attacking the article isn't the same as attacking the individual who created it. --RMHED 22:23, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

There are several tags that already exist, like {{nonsense}}, {{db-vand}}, and {{subst:prod|The page is complete bollocks}}. Stifle (talk) 22:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 8 August 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Alberto Cavalcanti, 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] Dorney Court

This article had been the subject of repeated vandalism. The article was unsourced and had evidently incorrect information in it. I requested information be supplied and WP:CITEd. The article had the information made even less likely. I reverted. The article was again subtly vandalised. I reverted. You the reverted my requests for sources and accused me of vandalism using the edit summary "rvv vandalism added link and reference".

The accusation that I vandalised this article is a personal attack and you should withdraw it immediately.

By all means recreate the article - with sources that can be verified. But think on before accusing people of vandalism, please, lest they think you a vandal. ➨ ЯEDVERS 22:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't accusing you of vandalism, it was vadalism from user 80.169.161.162 that hadn't been reverted,you must have missed that bit. I reverted that and added a reference and link. You deleted this article out of policy, it should be restored, you are an Admin it is your responsibility to follow Wiki policy--RMHED 22:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

As I say, feel free to recreate the article in question from anew, with sources that can be verified. The previous article did not do this and therefore was unsuitable for our encyclopedia. When an editor asked for these sources the result was a personal attack from you (cf "rvv vandalism added link and reference"). Therefore I will not restore the article as it stood. Again, I invite you to recreate it with sources that can be verified this time, however, I will be willing to delete it again if you cannot provide sources that can be verified. ➨ ЯEDVERS 22:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

As I have already explained I wasn't referring to you, but to the vandalism by user 80.169.161.162. It is not up to you as an admin to arbitrarily delete an article that doesn't come under the CSD criteria. You have abused your position an are now attacking me by accusing me of calling you a vandal, please apologize for this. --RMHED 22:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Right. Now we are getting somewhere. For the first time, it now becomes clear that your personal attack against me wasn't intended as such - it just read as one. I now understand. It would have been useful if, rather than standing by the personal attack, you had simply withdrawn it. However, now is the time to move on.

So, we now need a useful replacement article with sources that can be verified. Articles on Wikipedia need to have sources that can be verified. The former article at Dorney Court didn't. This meant that, as you saw, when it was vandalised it was impossible to fix the vandalism. Any attempt led to the vandals - and you, accidentally looking like one of the vandals because the article didn't have sources that could be verified - simply making changes and falsely accusing the reverter of vandalism. This shows the value of sources.

The former article was severely compromised. It had been extensively vandalised, introducing wrong information that was impossible to refute. Therefore we need a fresh start. Start the article again, this time using the processes at Wikipedia:Citing sources inclusing <ref> templates (this may require a full reading of the page in question, rather than just glancing at it. Sorry). If every assertion is cross-referenced to a related printed or interweb document, it can be checked. The vandalism of the article by locals can then be held at bay and wrong accusations of vandalism will be kept to a minimum.

If you won't do this, please feel free to ask for a deletion review instead - the result will be more vandalism and an article that remains without sources, but you might find it less work. Thanks ➨ ЯEDVERS 23:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

So no apology from you Redvers for violating WP:CSD policy, I guess it doesn't apply to you. I did add a reference to the article and a link. There are many other articles about historic houses that also have no references, perhaps you might like to delete those too List of historic houses in England --RMHED 23:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message. Further to the above, I consider that it would be inappropriate to restore the article deleted by Redvers as it might provoke a battle with another admin. The best course of action would be to request a deletion review or to recreate the content. Capitalistroadster 23:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I think I will request a deletion review, as if I recreated it the godlike Redvers would probably only delete it again.--RMHED 23:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I have restored the article. The deletion was incorrect in just about every way imaginable.

• The building is notable, not, as Redvers claimed, non-notable.
• It was deleted in breach of WP rules on deletions.
• It was deleted on the basis that it had no sources. Sourcing is not a condition for deletion. Articles requiring sources simply have a template added in requesting that sources be provided.

It was a depressing abuse of procedure by Redvers. Admins aren't infallible. We all make mistakes now and then. Where the wrong procedures had been followed, the onus should have been on Redvers to make a case for deletion in afd, not on you to make a case to overrule a deletion, which is the presumption in reletion review. FearÉIREANN\^(caint) 23:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Jtdirl for restoring the article, I was just about to go to deletion review when your message appeared. If Redvers had listed it for AfD, that would have been fair enough, but to just speedy delete it seemed bizarre. --RMHED 23:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Dear RMHED, please accept my apologies for last night's unpleasentness, which was due to a very bad day on Wikipedia where I could do nothing but attract personal attacks, user page vandalism and foul emails. I allowed this to colour my view of the discussion we had and the article itself. I shall apply my own rule about disengaging when stressed more diligently in future. Thanks. ➨ ЯEDVERS 09:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Apology accepted, and no hard feelings, we all have our bad days. --RMHED 13:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jan Murray Article

Thanks for the Jan Murray article. I looked for an article about him after reading of his death earlier this summer and found none at that time. Thanks for the research which went into writing the article. Dbart 22:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CSD A7 and Notability (Razor (band))

Hi. I went ahead and prodded the article rather than engage in a revert war, but I wanted to point out that the policy states that a speediable article has to make no assertion of notability. I use the guidelines established in WP:MUSIC to determine whether the article makes that assertion. Number of albums is a criterion mentioned, but only if they are "on a major label or one of the more important indie labels". For all I know, this band could have recorded and produced the albums in the garage; hence, the number of albums isn't what matters. It may be that I'm wrong and this band is notable, but it sure doesn't look like it right now. Cheers. -- Merope 21:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• You could have just done a quick Google search, and you would have found out they are notable. Several of their albums are on well known labels. Why the rush to deletion?--RMHED 21:08, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Because 90% of the newly created articles on bands have only a MySpace page to recommend them? I have no problem with researching an article before nominating for PROD or AFD, but for speedies they have to say something about why they're significant. This article did not. -- Merope 21:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

• True, no specific claim of notability was given, but the fact that quite a few albums were listed over a significant period of time should maybe have given you pause to do a quick search, after all it only takes less than a minute.--RMHED 22:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Reed

I am the artist that this article addresses. I don't care whether I have an article on this site or not, but apparently at least one fanatic does. I don't challenge deleting the article so much as I suggest blocking the account of the user. After actually reading the article, however, I propose that it be changed. There are some things that Qabbalah wrote about me that are not completely true and some notable things that were left out. Also, there's some personal information posted there that I prefer not to be accessable to the public. How did he get my wedding photo? I certainly agree that the pages dedicated to my albums ought to be removed or merged. The same with Cafe Graffiti which was not notable except, perhaps, as a side note. I will be happy to change it myself, but I don't know how so you'll have to bear with me as I learn.

PS, what does NN stand for? And why should I be a Pokemon character? User:TonySReed

• NN just means non-notable WP:NN. Now if you were a Pokemon character you'd be guaranteed of an entry, Wikipedia sadly, is awash with Pokemon articles. --RMHED 19:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
