[edit] Talk:Dodgeball revert

Hi,

if you look at the "discussion" that was removed, it's all childish vandalism or pointless personal commentary. There's no harm in removing this from talk pages, as that's not their purpose. Chris Cunningham (talk) 12:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] removing refs

Hi, I see you've been removing refs. I'm sorry you don't think they are reliable enough, but it would have been better for you to contact me first before just jumping in. Maybe you were being bold. Re - clag, it is a common term, used in many magazines. Would a magazine reference be better? Mjroots (talk) 14:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

A reference to a professionally published magazine would be excellent. I apologise if you feel i have been too hasty in my actions, but the links provided werent really satisfactory as per WP:REFB, and I did give reasoning for the deletion. I think that deletion of the links and asking for new references is better than deleting the articles in question. Deckchair (talk) 14:44, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of UK Railfan Jargon

I noted your removal of "BRUTE" as being an acronym. I have no problem with that ... but have you ensured that you have added it to the "List of Railway Acronyms" article? If not, then please can I ask that you reconsider your decision as it will mean a loss of information to the encyclopedia. Olana North (talk) 09:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

[edit] List of U.S. railfan jargon

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of U.S. railfan jargon, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Bolly Nickers (talk) 17:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
