P.S. That huge image on the Mark Gasser article needs resizing. Lradrama 08:57, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little context in Allumni

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Allumni, by DarkSaber2k (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Allumni is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Allumni, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 09:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Mark Gasser

Hi, thanks for your message. I explained all the changes that I made to the Mark Gasser article in my edit summaries. Firstly, the given source nowhere claims to list the "100 most famous people of all time to ever have come from South Yorkshire"—this claim is therefore simply false. Secondly, I removed the lead title per the manual of style (see also Wikipedia:Lead section). Thirdly, you say that you have spent a lot of time researching the article, it should therefore not be a problem for you to cite your sources—Wikipedia is not a place of first publication; all facts must first have been published elsewhere by reliable sources (see also WP:NOR). As far as I can see the reviews listed at the end of the article are not sources for the facts given in the article—in fact the listed reviews really add nothing to the article and could be removed. —Jeremy (talk) 05:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

Hey there, I've looked into the sources you provided and must say I'm not exactly overwhelmed. Unfortunately, most of them do not qualify as references in any serious, notability-related way. —AldeBaer 03:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

It would certainly help if you could come up with exact references (i.e. issue and date etc, ideally availabe online) of Paul Driver (Sunday Times, UK) and Chris Morley (Birmingham Post UK) mentioned here, and particularly for the pop-music-collaborations mentioned in the article ("worked with many contemporary popular artists such as P!nk, Tara Hanrahan, Jarvis Cocker and Björk") —AldeBaer 13:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
