[edit] Speedy deletion of Nerf Herder IV
Please do not make personal attacks. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.
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 (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.

- Sorry, very tired, perhaps I shouldn't edit any more tonight. Randomtime (talk) 21:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- I can explain, I saw the words "It is an american nerd" and my brain went into automatic. Sorry Randomtime (talk) 21:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh, but since this is an album, why would that make sense in any context? Every Wikipedian makes mistakes, but read the whole article first. And a nerd isn't an insult in some contexts. Shapiros10 (talk) 21:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC) That'd be splendid! Shapiros10 (talk) 21:21, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I messed up. Forgive and forget? Randomtime (talk) 21:13, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Why, certainly! PS: would you be willing to officially adopt me? I have a user providing me with answers to questions, but he already has 2 other adoptees, and I'm looking for an adopter in name. What do you say? Shapiros10 (talk) 21:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Ok Randomtime (talk) 21:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Where can I get an adoption userbox? Shapiros10 (talk) 21:16, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:M 5161d36cc19a280600c7c194e6c8790f.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:M 5161d36cc19a280600c7c194e6c8790f.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sorted Randomtime (talk) 22:10, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
What? Did you get the copyright? If so, you're the best! Shapiros10 (talk) 22:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
- For albums place the tag: {{Non-free album cover|Album or single cover}} Randomtime (talk) 08:56, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Warrior's Return
A tag has been placed on Warrior's Return 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 (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] Speedy Deletion
If you feel the article is notable, please assert the notability on the article and provide some sources. Thanks ><RichardΩ612 18:15, 29 December 2007 (UTC) Rather than me repeat WP:CITE, it's probably best if you have a read there and if you have any problems feel free to ask. However, when I said 'sources' I meant external sources that can be verified [books, magazines, reliable websites, etc.]. Thanks. ><RichardΩ612 18:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC) Ahh. So, it has to be from an outside source, rather than wikipedia? Interesting. Oh, here's the link to the dletion discussion. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warrior's Return.

[edit] XPosskx
Whoa, calm down. The source from where I got that information? Dude, everything there is true. I won Seekers : The Quest Begins by Erin Hunter from Harper Collins the Publishers. It had every bit of information there, including that Tui Sutherland wrote the book. Erin Hunter herself confirmed the fact at a recent discussion. (UTC) XPosskx (talk)
[edit] Redirect of Fall Out Boy's 5th Studio Album
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Fall Out Boy's 5th Studio Album, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Fall Out Boy's 5th Studio Album is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Fall Out Boy's 5th Studio Album, 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.

[edit] Mansfield Middle School
BoxCrawler is a bot, he can't rate pages.However I have rated this page as a Stub of Low importance. Please note that middle schools must meet the notability requirements and that this requires more than a couple sentences and an infobox. Please assert this schools notability or it is likely to be deleted. Adam McCormick (talk) 00:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Top 50 might make it notable, but unless that fact is stated, with a verifiable source, it doesn't matter. There also needs to be a lot more content, it won't survive an AfD in its current state. Adam McCormick (talk) 01:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah-the source that it's Top 50 is that I attend this school! I'm working on upgrading it. Thanks for the advice :) Shapiros10 (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] MfD nomination of Wikipedia:WikiProject Dropkick Murphys
Wikipedia:WikiProject Dropkick Murphys, a page you created, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Dropkick Murphys and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Wikipedia:WikiProject Dropkick Murphys during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 15:56, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think you need a bit more content in the project, I'd see Wikipedia:wikiproject and it might have been a good idea to Propose the project first, as they'd give you more help setting it up. Now it's in MFD, I'd comment on the deletion process, and if you plan on resserecting the project, note on the MFD page that this is the case.
[edit] Your signature
I see you are signing yourself "The godfather", whilst there are no firm guidelines about it, WP:SIG does state that "While not an absolute requirement, it is common practice for a signature to resemble to some degree the username it represents." also, there is a user named The Godfather, and WP:SIG has a firm guideline "In no circumstance should a signature be used to impersonate another user: in particular, a signature should not be identical to the actual username of another existing user", your signature may be viewed like that. May I suggest changing it so it has some resemblance to your user name. You may also request to change your username, but that seems a radical step RT | Talk 16:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- User:Michael Corleone is also registered, mihgt want to have your username mentioned somewhere RT | Talk 16:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
