[edit] Welcome Kausol1 and thanks for the help on Anna Eshoo

Kuasol1, Thanks for pointing that out, it has now been corrected. Please sign with 4 ~ at the end of your posting in the future. Thanks again.TalkAboutTalkAboutTalkAbout 15:32, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Futhermore, if you go to Tom Campbell's page by clicking his name it says his Tom Lantos next held this seat. Your best source is the Almanac of American Politics" which has the most clear and comprehensive information in one book.Kuasol1 05:24, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits to Hagop Kazazian

I hope the following may help you in WP in general and with your edits in Hagop Kazazian Pasha in particular:

  1. Format of referencing: Please learn about how to cite from WP:CITE. Use of Wikipedia:Citation_templates (the current status in Hagop Kazazian Pasha) is greatly preferred. Just providing a website in parantheses as you have recently done is not in good Wikipedia style. Please put these in the correct format.
  2. Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. Neither are copies of Wikipedia, which unfortunately answers.com is. Thus, your edit gives an unreliable source and is not acceptable within WP rules.
  3. Sources must be reliable. This policy is explained in: Wikipedia:Attribution. A reference given from the publishing arm of the Armenian Revolutionary Foundation, and which, further, is a transcription of a speech given by someone unknown and which is laced with gems such as "ignorant, uneducated Turk" should not be used as citations of fact. This is in reference to your edit. Please note that such a reference might be acceptable in other situations, for example, as an illustration of a viewpoint.
  4. Again regarding your edit about a reference to the millet system, I had explained, both in my edit history and on the talk page that what I had requested a citation for was Kazazian being Catholic. Please see Talk:Hagop_Kazazian_Pasha for my reasons in doubting this.

[edit] Barbara Stern Burstin

A tag has been placed on Barbara Stern Burstin, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Now that you've added more material to the article about Barbara Stern Burstin, I accept that it has sufficient notability to have removed the tag (even though that wasn't really the way to go about it; the "hangon" tag is what you should have used). I suggest, though, that you add material to the article to bolster the notability of the subject, because as it stands, someone else might propose it for deletion. You might do this by finding links to the awards that she has won and linking them to the article, so that people reading the article can see and verify that she has won these awards -- that would be a good place to start. If I can help you further, leave a note on my talk page. Accounting4Taste 19:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of George F. Titterton

A tag has been placed on George F. Titterton, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion A7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet 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 article 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 19:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

He seems notable, but now you must rewrite the article to show it, using the material in the references you gave, and using them in appropriate WP format to document the article.DGG (talk) 16:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] October 2007

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, George F. Titterton. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. Thank you.

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created yourself, as you did with Barbara Stern Burstin. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 20:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
