[edit] Khachen text

I have tried to improve that text by adding the Azerbaijani side to the issue but without removing any of the facts. Yet it was reverted twice. Can you explain that? Thanks in advance.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Givrakh

A tag has been placed on Givrakh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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.

[edit] infoboxes

Please do not create your own infoboxes using wikitables as you have doing [1][2][3] On the English Wikipedia, we have many existing Wikipedia:Infoboxes that should be used. See Wikipedia:List of infoboxes/Geography#Country subdivisions - Provinces, districts, counties and such. If you need a new infobox, please discuss a new template on a WikiProject.

RE these boxes OK I'll stop adding them. But I don't really understand what's wrong and I was simply doing as I'd been requested - ie to help improve Azerbaijan pages. I had been adding in same-style text boxes as those previously used in other cases on other Azerbaijan rayons. It seems strangely negative to simply remove these boxes which had taken some time for me to prepare (including the checking of population figs, post codes etc).

If you don't like the actual design of the boxes, then why not change them rather than simply reverting? In the mean time I'll revert them to how they were so that if people want to they don't at least need to look up the figures all over again...

I welcome further clarifications but please don't just remove!Malikbek (talk) 11:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for asking me on my talk page; I didnt notice your response here. I dont think I that I reverted any of them. I noticed that User:Andranikpasha reverted one, and I left a message explaining why. Dont get too worried about the information being "lost". It isnt lost - it is in the history, and can be retrieved and improved on. I will definitely help you with this tomorrow. John Vandenberg (talk) 13:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Tom Faulkner (music)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Tom Faulkner (music), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Tom Faulkner (music) 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 Tom Faulkner (music), 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.
