[edit] September 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Craps, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. Gscshoyru 18:26, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Despite the above, you are still adding unsourced material, without Edit Summaries. Please stop doing that. Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Golf Equipment

Hi, thanks for messaging me. I reverted your edits not because they were particularly bad, but because the article is already too long, and adding information such as the info you added (which was good information, but perhaps a bit superfluous and/or redundant) in many cases can actually detract from the content of the article, in my opinion. Better to have short, to-the-point and accurate articles, than all-encompassing, verbose tomes for many articles, I say!  :)

However, if you were to make an edit that "cut down" the size of the article, and then made some or most of the changes you wanted to make, that would be a reasonable compromise. Perhaps re-wording the sentences you chose to edit, eliminating some unnecessary info and adding your own, would work. Let me know if you want any help editing the article, I'm always looking for ways to cut down and improve the golf-related articles. Regards, Rahzel 00:11, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

I went through and did some pruning on the Golf Equipment article. Hopefully the article is more concise now, as well. Feel free to improve my wordings as you see fit! Regards, Rahzel 01:59, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
I started a discussion of the article's length on the talk page. Basically, your information seems good (and I certainly won't revert it again) but I'm still concerned about the length of the article, and in the discussion I propose an article split of some kind. I'd appreciate your input on my suggestion. Regards, Rahzel 22:43, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

I noticed that you and some others have expressed concern over the length of the article "golf club (equipment)." I would be interesting in helping split the article up into new articles about the types of golf clubs if you are still interested. Please let me know what I may do to help.

[edit] WikiProject Golf

Hi Liko81
I thought that a way to further improve the golf articles on Wikipedia is for the whole project to work together towards a goal. An example of this could be a certain number of good articles in so many months, or to create the project's first ever featured article. If you are interested, come to the talk page and discuss it. And hopefully through this the project can continue to work towards several goals in the near future. Grover 10:08, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP Golf Template

Hey Liko81 Just quickly, the {{WikiProject Golf}} template should be put on the top of talk pages, not on the bottom of the mainspace pages. I've moved them to the right spot on all of them I think, but its probably worthwhile if you go back and see if I missed any. Anyways, happy editing! Grover 07:04, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Concealed carry in the United States

Hi! Thanks for your message and willingness to be open to my edits. I haven't had a chance to look over your edits in their entirety but it's good to work with you on the article. If you have any problem with my edits (including any edits to *your* edits) please know that I am also open to considering that I may be mistaken or that there is a better/different way for it to be written. I will certainly engage in civil discussions regarding any aspect you wish to discuss.  :-) Lawyer2b (talk) 22:18, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 23:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 11:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Beer Blow

A tag has been placed on Beer Blow requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. SYSS Mouse (talk) 22:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of Beer Blow

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Beer Blow, 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? Accounting4Taste:talk 22:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Feel free to remove the tag yourself, especially if you can provide anything like a reliable source to bolster your assertions, but you should be advised that I'll immediately submit the article for an Articles for deletion process; I share neither your enthusiasm for nor your conviction as to the breadth of usage and notability of this game. If I can be of any assistance with Wikipedia policies, please leave me a note at your convenience. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your further comments. As far as "getting me off this article's back", I'll go ahead and submit it to Articles for deletion, since apparently we are not fated to agree as to its presence here and that process will provide a fairly permanent solution. I encourage you to make the same assertions there as to the breadth of its penetration into society -- believe or not, I applaud your enthusiasm for contributing to Wikipedia and want to foster it. I'll help you if there's something you need help with. I also encourage you to follow the links I've provided that discuss the nature and extent of the various policies involved, such as the reliable sources policy and WP:SPS. The AfD process will take a few minutes, since I have other matters underway. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
