[edit] re: Compton, California

I think there is a software bug affecting the Compton, California article. See my previous comments on its talk page. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] LA city council

Igbo, I was just wondering, where did you get all that information on historical city councils? I tried googling a couple of the names and there are absolutly no pages for the older ones. (if you dont mind revealing you sources, :-) )

The information comes from, "Chronological Record of Los Angeles City Officials: 1850—1938," Compiled under Direction of Municipal Reference Library City Hall, Los Angeles March 1938 (Reprinted 1966). It's available at the Los Angeles Central Library. Igbo 10:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Prof. Magnestormix

I am aware of who you are. Leave the Tamar Braxton article alone or i'll point out to about 50 administrators that you're back again, with yet another account. --I'll bring the food 00:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] You've obviously got me mixed up with somebody else

You're complaining because I added a category for Tamar Braxton? The category doesn't even exist anymore. Igbo 10:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maxcy D. Filer

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Maxcy D. Filer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Maxcy D. Filer. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Notability of J. H. Rush

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on J. H. Rush, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because J. H. Rush seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting J. H. Rush, 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 contact the bot operator 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.

Apparently he is of Caribbean descent. Do you know which country in the Caribbean? Blackjays1 (talk) 17:09, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
