[edit] Deletion of Window function (SQL)

Please review the article deletion criteria on Wikipedia. You say:

It doesn't give any information on the topic, very difficult to understand, needs more attention if it should stay on Wikipedia.

But none of these are valid arguments under Wikipedia's deletion policy:

Reasons for deletion include but are not limited to violation of copyright, content that does not belong in an encyclopedia, content not verifiable in a reliable source, and unreferenced negative content in biographies of living persons....

Deletion criteria do not include "the article is incomplete", "the article is hard to understand", etc. As the AfD page says:

If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion.

Thanks. --Macrakis (talk) 22:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

They look something like this. Also, have a look here. I happen to have a book that probably has one for the battle of Marion, I'll try and check later on this evening. MrPrada (talk) 15:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New! BCAD drive from Milhist

Can I invite you to particpate in our new assessment drive? It's strictly for experienced editors and has a degree of friendly competition built-in. It involves re-evaluating around 3500 Milhist B-Class articles to ensure they match our new criteria. As ever, we're offering a range of awards as our way of expressing our thanks. The drive doesn't start until 18:00 (UTC) on March 10 but you can sign up in advance here. It would be great if you can spare the time, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 05:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About PAGES...

Yes, I got your message, but I have a problem. I thought this would be easy because I got an idea early. I was going to start a section called "Legends" where I would put the place certain fantasy originated, but the only creature that I know its original home is dragon! I would like you to tell me where the following originated:

Unicorn

Troll

Gremlin

Elf

Sprite

Griffin

Pheonix

And maybe some more. Pumagirl7 (talk) 20:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC):o{

P.S. the :o{ is a cat.

[edit] Albatros (1899)

Hi, you assessed this as a stub for WP:Milhist, when it had already been assessed as Start class by WP:Ships. I'm just wondering why you only assessed it as a stub. Surely the class applies to the whole article, not just the section that the project is concerned with? Mjroots (talk) 10:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I know. The only problem I saw was that there could have been a better prose section. The current section only has 1 or 2 sentences. But aside from that, it looked good. Redmarkviolinist ^{Drop me a line} 14:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

If you live in the Southern Hemisphere and are entering the season of Autumn not Spring then I wish you a happy First Day of Autumn 2008!

[edit] Technology Wikiproject

That sounds like an interesting prospect; what type of articles are you guys focusing on? I don't have a wealth of literature at home on technical subjects, but I could access journal articles from JSTOR that might be helpful. The question is, are you looking for help on a broad range of topics, or something specific and narrow? I've already shown my interest in medieval Chinese technology, but are you looking for help in other topics?--Pericles of Athens^Talk 16:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

My goodness! Those articles (excluding Ancient Egyptian technology) need some serious work. I'm surprised that so many haven't even been initiated. If I can find some substantial sources and information to improve the ancient Greek article—which I think merits a great deal of attention, even more than Roman, which has been given better treatment—then I will help you guys out.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 22:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] USS Arctic (1854)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article USS Arctic (1854), 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of USS Arctic (1854).

[edit] Adoption??

Would you like to adopt me. I have been looking around your user pages and i think we have similar interests. I would love to know more about wikipedia. Thanks Gaia Octavia Agrippa 11:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

So what do you want to start teaching me? Personally i would like to know about what you should put in a stub when you first create it. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^{Talk | Contribs} 11:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I have left a message on the classroom talk page for you. I think that is where i will leave all my messages concerning what i would like to know, if that's alright with you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^{Talk | Contribs} 19:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

You advized me to sign up to ge AutoWikiBrowser but it doesn't explain very well on the page what it is. Could you explain for me. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^{Talk | Contribs} 20:33, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
