[edit] Speedy deletion of Bershon

A tag has been placed on Bershon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You should place the {{hangon}} tag on the article if you wish to contest the speedy deletion, not on your talk page. Redfarmer (talk) 08:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Please note that, a {{hangon}} tag by itself is not sufficient. You should put a rationale on the talk page of the article on why you feel it should not be deleted. Redfarmer (talk) 08:38, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Forward disambiguation page

Hi, Bgnuf. I have reverted your edit to Forward as the wikipedia manual of style for disambiguation pages specifies that article titles not to be piped on dab pages except for when it is to allow for the use of italics or quotes (for albums, novels, songs, ships, etc) or to cover the use of anchor notation in the wikilink. You are invited to read through the manual of style and then join the effort to clean up disambiguation pages as a part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation. Best wishes. Gwguffey (talk) 12:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

As the manual of style is clear on presenting actual article titles on disambiguation pages, I'm not sure what to tell you other than you could go to Talk:Forward contract and make a case to rename the page to Forward (finance), which probably would not be popular. Sorry that is not very helpful. Gwguffey (talk) 16:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sarah Whiting

Here's my thoughts on this (for whatever that is worth):

  • Step 1: Create a new page like Sarah Whiting (editor) or Sarah Whiting (architect) or whatever qualifier (the part in parentheses) you think is most descriptive. If by some chance you like one in the prior sentence, just click on the red link and you will be walked through creating the page. Otherwise, type the name you like in the search bar in the left-hand column in any page and press 'Go' and you will arrive at the same point.
  • Step 2: Sarah Whiting is actually a redirect page to Sarah Frances Whiting, which is a good thing for your purpose. That page can be turned into a disambiguation page by removing the redirect code and replacing it with a disambiguation list.
  • Step 3: place a hatnote on each of the pages listed on your newly setup Sarah Whiting disambiguation page.

Then you are done. Let me know if makes sense. Gwguffey (talk) 15:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

To edit Sarah Whiting, click on the link and let it redirect you to the Sarah Frances Whiting page. Once you are taken there, you will see ""(Redirected from Sarah Whiting)"" under the article title. Click on that link to Sarah Whiting and it will ignore the redirect and you will then be able to edit the page and remove the redirect.
Don't be discouraged by the nomination of the article for deletion. Just do your best to address the concerns and develop it into something great. I think you are off to a good start. The more citations that you can add that reference to her by others the better.
Oh, yeah, one (very small) thing, it's best add new sections to talk pages at the bottom instead of the top. I missed your comment the first time I looked at my page today. If you are following up to an existing section in a talk page, indent your new comment via the use of colons at the beginning of each paragraph. Gwguffey (talk) 15:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warrant (finance)

Sorry, I don't understand the question you are asking about this article. Any chance you could clarify with smaller words for me. :) Gwguffey (talk) 16:06, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Sarah Whiting (architect)

I have nominated Sarah Whiting (architect), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Whiting (architect). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

[edit] Century egg: Street food in HK

I reverted your change to century egg. There is active discussion on the talk page about this matter. Your input is welcome there, but the sentence should remain in place (potentially with a "citation needed" disclaimer) until such time as a definitive conclusion is reached. -- Phyzome is Tim McCormack 04:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
