[edit] Encouragement and a bit of advice

Sandhiller, you've done a lot of great work in fleshing out the Spade Ranch, Nebraska article. In fact, with a bit more work, I think it could get a mention on the main page. However, a couple of things still need to be done. First off, I noticed that one of the references mentioned an interview with the current owner. Unfortunately, personal interviews are not allowed under Wikipedia policy, so the information that came from that interview will have to be cited from a different source or, if that cannot be done, removed from the article. In addition, the sources cited to not provide enough information to determine where exactly they came from. Book titles, years, publishers, etc. help make sources easier to verify. If you'd like some help on the reference format to use, Wikipedia has a guide to citing source. Finally, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me. – Swid (talk · edits) 05:31, 17 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Bartlett Richards

A tag has been placed on Bartlett Richards 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 assert 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 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.
