Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

[edit] Nashua Police Department

A tag has been placed on Nashua Police Department, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

There is nothing particularly notable about Nashua's police department, or for that matter most police departments. This article, arguably, is essentially spam, i.e. promoting a group or service. Unless Nashua's police department has done something truly notable (for instance, something to give it worldwide recognition or perhaps even countrywide recognition), then this article should be deleted. It's debatable whether this article should be merged into the Nashua, New Hampshire article as well.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JordanSealy 21:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Henry Margusity

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Henry Margusity, 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Henry Margusity.

[edit] Vandalism Warning to User:I69U

Hi! Just wanted to say that this warning [1] should be on the talk page of I69U. Thanks!-BlueAmethyst .:*:. (talk) 22:28, 1 January 2008 (UTC) Happy New Year!

And the same note with respect to User:Kingsword9; vandalism warnings go on the talk page, not the user page. Thanks for taking new page patrol seriously but, as an experienced patroller, I suggest that taking it really seriously and letting it get you angry is liable to have a bad effect on your blood pressure and not much effect on the !@*$(@!# vandal <grin>. Your efforts aren't unnoticed, though... thanks for your hard work. Accounting4Taste:talk 00:31, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Juiced ball" theory

I've started a deletion discussion as a formal courtesy. I believe the article is notable, and I would advise you next time to use proposed deletion instead of speedy deletion if you see a similar case in the future - or better yet, since there already was a reference, add a {{refimprove}} or {{notability}} tag and leave it alone otherwise. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 01:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I'm aware that you're a lot newer than me around here (I started editing in 2005), so I don't wish to scare you. :) It's possible that, at the time you saw it, my article had "No assertion of significance," but I don't think so. The reason I'm making a fuss about it is to teach you how important it is not to delete valid articles. If you tag an article for speedy deletion, and a half-asleep administrator deletes it, it stays deleted. If you use proposed deletion, there's a 5-day delay built in to prevent any careless mistakes. If you patrol Special:Newpages, you should use Proposed deletion ({{subst:prod|reason}}) if you're not sure whether the criteria for speedy deletion are applicable. But again, I repeat, don't worry about it. :) Shalom (Hello • Peace) 01:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Major Question

Why did you put Robert Moses Middle School up for deletion already!? I just created it, and am going to work on it. Hardyboyz27 (talk) 22:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{Warplane-stub}}

Hi - a stub template which you created, Warplane-stub, has been speedily deleted. It was incorrectly formatted to the point where it would have been less work to create it again from scratch than to try to fix what was there. In any case, stub templates already exist which serve the same purpose for which this was presumably designed (e.g., {{Bomber-stub}}). Please note that new stub types should be proposed for discussion prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, to check that they conform to the naming, hierarchy, and use standards of stub templates (as stated at Wikipedia:Stub and elsewhere). Grutness...wha? 00:24, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, DS2434. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that:


Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. βcommand 13:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
