[edit] Operation Corkscrew

Hi! You removed this link [1], saying it was "dead". I assumed you meant that the link no longer worked but I managed to open it successfully, just now. Was that the your only objection? If so, I'll reinstate. Folks at 137 08:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, yep that was my only objection, sorry about that, don't know why it didn't work for me yesterday, tried a few times over the day before I removed it, but only got the page can not be found error message each time, works for me now though, I've reverted it back in now.Number36 22:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Republic

Hi, your edit of the roman republic article seems to have cut off the bottom half of the article. I'd add it back myself if I knew how! Sierro 13:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Woah it did too! It's been fixed now thankfully. No idea how that happened, I was just trying to fix the spelling of a couple of words higher up in the article, weird. Thanks for the heads up anyway, I'll watch out for that in the future.Number36 01:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Wong article

If that is the case, add {{db-repost}} to the article yourself. However, db-repost should only be used for articles that have been through AFD. If this article's deletion was a speedy-deletion or a prod previously, the recreated material is evidence that its deletion is being contested, and it should have at LEAST one chance to go through AFD. The article itself is a mess, and it seems to make tenuous claims to notability, so db-A7 does not seem to apply, which is why I added a prod. If this is a repost of an AFD'd article, then go ahead and add the speedy tag. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 06:11, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

If someone removes a prod and does not change the article in any way that meanifully addresses it, then send it to AFD. AFD tags cannot be removed until the disussion is complete. I will complete the AFD if you wish. Its a bit of a procedure to list it, but it has gotten alot easier in recent months, the template really walks you through it well. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David K Wong article

I took a look at the article, and I messaged the author a few ways he could help improve his article if he can provide the right sources and use proper wikiformatting. This message could also help you if you're interested in helping with the article A copy of the message I sent him is below:

If you don't remember me, I was the one that notified you about your first article being deleted. I went ahead and took a look at the article you have posted now, and I thought I'd share some tips with you if you want to make your article successful.

As I predicted, the article is been nominated for deletion once again. People usually watch for attempted recreates of pages that have been removed before. This nomination, however, is not a speedy deletion, but a proposed deletion. This kind of deletion is different. A speedy deletion only requires one administrator's judgement and the article is gone. Proposed deletion is done by input and voting by the community. This allows you time to add sources to back up your article (to which it has only one source). Also, don't be afraid to talk about the nobility of the page in it's talk page. The more sources you find for this page, the less likely your page will be seen as uncreditable and be nominated for deletion.

Also, if you want your page to be successful, you should read up on these wikipedia pages and apply them to the article:"

Tutorial, in case you haven't read it at all
Manual of style. This will help the article's format look much better and be in accordance to wikipedia's neatness policy.
Verifiability and Reliable sources will help you properly insert sources, footnote sources, and much more needed to prove your article's credibility.

I hope all this helps you out. If you have any questions, message me. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for letting me know that he started his article again. Best not to bite the newcomers, or be a WP:DICK. Good luck to you! BeanoJosh 06:42, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Reply: No problem. It's good to help with someones interest on wikipedia, even if he is new. He is headed in a hard direction, however. Out of all the articles you can create, creating one about a person is one of the hardest. It's very hard to prove the person credible or encyclopedic. Whatever direction the article goes, let us hope it's done out of good judgement and good terms. Have a good one. BeanoJosh 06:54, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect removal of deletion tag on David K. Wong

I think you're right on the tag removal. I really should have read through policy and the tag closer. I only considered that the article was probably going to be removed anyway, so I might have jumped the gun. I also reverted because the anon edit removed a couple of other tags. Oh well, the article was deleted anyway. Pingveno 00:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red Son

Ah, you may very well be right about that point. If so, I apologise for presumption, as I was, rather ashamedly, making the edit based on only my memory of the story, which I do not have to hand at the moment. Thanks for letting me know and for being so polite about it. --Jayunderscorezero 00:13, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
