[edit] Abstract Audio Systems

Hi, I was wondering why the page for my band Abstract Audio Systems was removed. Is there something further you need from me as proof that we really exist? Here are 4 links detailing the band and its releases.

http://www.mtrec.com http://cdbaby.com/cd/aas http://cdbaby.com/cd/aas2 http://cdbaby.com/cd/aas3

The article was initially created by the members of Austere (band).

[edit] Thomas G. McDonald

Dear King of Hearts:

I appreciate your concern about the introduction of inappropriate articles. Had I been permitted to complete the article in question, I feel confident that it would have met Wikipedia's standards for notability. Thomas G. McDonald was a close associate of Andrew Carnegie, and was perhaps the first industrialist in northeastern Ohio to employ the well-known Bessemer process.

The article, if completed, would have made use of published sources to confirm this figure's notability. Like other Wikipedians (I'm sure), I am in the habit of composing articles in stages, because of past technical glitches that resulted in the loss of a considerable amount of material.

A warning attached to the article noted that, if I wanted to contest the deletion, I would need to place a tag on the article. I added the tag, but to no avail.

Please know that I will not attempt to post this article again. Thank you. - haeksang 17:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

My intention is not to delete every article in sight. I only deleted Thomas G. McDonald because it didn't assert notability. If you believe that he can qualify under WP:BIO, feel free to re-submit the article, remembering to include accomplishments that make him notable, backed up with references. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 17:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GAs

Thanks for passing Solar power plants in the Mojave Desert! I'm also submitting Wind power in Texas again as I've overcome the list problem you mentioned. As for Battery (electricity), the lead section still didn't summarize the main points of the article, so I've tried to do so in the text below. See what you think...

A battery is a device that converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy.[1] It consists of one or more voltaic cells. Because of the chemical reactions within the cells, the capacity of a battery depends on the discharge conditions such as the magnitude of the current, the duration of the current, the allowable terminal voltage of the battery, temperature, and other factors.[2]
Batteries can be generally divided into two main types: non-rechargeable (disposable) and rechargeable. Each is in wide usage. Rechargeable batteries traditionally self-discharge more rapidly than disposable alkaline batteries; up to three percent a day (depending on temperature). Battery life can be extended by storing the batteries at a low temperature, as in a refrigerator or freezer, because the chemical reactions in the batteries are slower.
Since their development over 250 years ago, batteries have remained among the most expensive energy sources, and their manufacturing consumes many valuable resources and often involves hazardous chemicals. A battery explosion may occur through the misuse or malfunction of a battery, such as attempting to recharge a non-rechargeable battery,[3] or short circuiting a battery.[4]

[edit] Re: Education in Iceland

I have added a few more references to back things up, unfortunately a lot of info comes from the PDF—is there anything that can be done to pass the GA with the facts relying on this source? Max Naylor 16:11, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

The problem is simply that you're focusing too much on one source. If a source is wrong (nothing is perfect), then facts in the article that are supported by it are also wrong. If you use a variety of sources, they're less likely to be all wrong. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] King of Hearts

My name is Bauceant and I am a decendant of Thomas G. McDonald. I am working with a Professor at Youngstown University in the attempt to get McDonald Village (named after Thomas G. McDonald!) included in the national historic register. If you need additional information on my ggg-grandfather (or would be willing to share the same), please drop me an email. I can be contacted through the website I moderate: TemplarHistory.com. Please PM me there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.167.187 (talk) 21:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not some "national historic register"; it is an encyclopedia about notable and verifiable topics. Your article on Thomas G. McDonald did not assert his notability, so I deleted it. If you believe you can find information confirming his notability as per WP:BIO, you may re-create the article, inserting relevant facts to assert his notability. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Allah, Army and America

Hi, You deleted my article with title "Allah, Army and America"..

And gave reason that:

No sources that provide evidence that this concept is sufficiently notable to merit an encyclopedia article

Even though I believe i Have given link to some articles stating about it and even the statement by a major pakistani politician..

And even though I am not a pro on wikipedia but i think: A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

So i am again putting some articles which refers to it..

I hope it will satisfy you and you will undelete the article.. thanks in advance..

Please contact User:UnitedStatesian, as he was the one who added the tag for it to be deleted; I only deleted it and do not know as much about the subject as he does. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Brands of the World

Hi, I was wondering on how you converted the EPS's on brands of the world, to SVG's. I have tried using pstoedit (by the way i'm running Ubuntu Linux) but can't seem to get the library for SVGs working. Could you offer me help on how to do this. :-). Thanks in advance. > Rugby471 talk ⚔ 17:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
