[edit] Imperial Show Bands

Since only the original author and myself (the only other editor of the page) approved of the removal, I didn't think this would be a problem. I think it meets the spirit of db-author, but okay. (John User:Jwy talk) 04:48, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates On G-Unit Articles

Hi, I have re-edited the articles that I have written:

G-Unit Young Buck Tony Yayo Lloyd Banks

I have kept the style that I write in the same but have now wikified dates as well.

Thanks

[edit] Aziatic Militants

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Aziatic Militants, by Closenplay, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Aziatic Militants fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Redirect page to a deleted article about a nn rapper (the page "Treacherous" now redirects to "Betrayal")


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Aziatic Militants, 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. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Aziatic Militants itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 11:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply: Football player/American football

The majority of disambiguated player articles were recently moved over to "football player" (not by me). Honestly, I don't feel like moving them all back or having some be one and some be the other. American football doesn't say if the article is about a player, coach, executive, mascot, announcer, etc. Football player leaves only two options. Pats1 01:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vitamin D (producer)

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Vitamin D (producer), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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.

[edit] Notability of Paulo Barros

A tag has been placed on Paulo Barros, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornix 04:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Don't remove a db tag from an article that you have created. Please read the instructions in the pink box. And also read WP:MUSIC and see how this person meets the guideline there. In addition, under the speedy deletion criteria at WP:CSD, there are no claims of notability for this person in the article. Being a member of a band that Wikipedia doesn't have an article about is not a claim of notability. Corvus cornix 04:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Your name is the first one in the article's history. Did you read WP:BAND? A link to the person's personal website is not a reliable source. Corvus cornix 04:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
If you want to remove the tag, go ahead, and I'll just follow along right behind you and put an afd tag on it. Corvus cornix 05:08, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright

Hello. In the future, please refrain from edits such as this one on Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright. That's OK, I see you're new, so here are a few pointers:

  1. The MoS doesn't prescribe to remove blank lines between text and non-text paragraphs (such as headings or lists).
  2. The MoS doesn't prescribe to remove spaces between a list bullet and its text.
  3. Actually, they both don't change the article display at all and are thus not part of the MoS, which refers to the style of the visible output.
  4. Last but not least, they both make the wikicode much more readable and editor-friendly, especially for readers casually editing a page.

As for the ==References== section, a proper footnotes/endnotes subsection goes *after* the list of sources, so that a footnote be able to invoke one source with "Source name, op. cit., p. 123".

Additionnaly, two tips for better collaboration:

  • You shouldn't make edits whose sole or main purpose is to tweak the wikicode without benefit for the readers in the content or at least the display. It just clogs the history and database for nothing, will irate the regular editors of the page (who have a priority in deciding the non-MoS wikicode style of pages), and could in the long term get you banned (see for instance this ArbCom decision about preferred styles).
  • Also, before validating an edit, please make use of the "Show changes" button so as to check if your edit doesn't overcome the diff generator. In your edit (cf. diff above) you changed too many things at once and the whole diff became red, which conceals your actual changes and make it laborious for all other editors to see what you you actually changed. The simple trick to it is to make such changes in two or more edits, one for changes that alter only the internal content of paragraphs but not the number of paragraphs (or blank lines), followed by another edit for changes that add/remove/split paragraphs (or blank lines). Thus, each diff becomes minuscule and transparent to other editors, which is one of the key of collaborative editing.

So, I'm mostly reverting your edit (as per the above, nothing personal), except for your wikilinking the footnote dates which I had forgotten, and thanks for that. — Komusou talk @ 09:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Species integration nominated for deletion

As someone who has commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Most ancient common ancestor, you are invited to comment on another article by the same author which I just nominated for deletion. The same author coined a new article Species integration which similar theme with two completely irrelevant references, after the 'most ancient common ancestor' article was deleted. I removed these two irrelevant references, and commented on these on the Talk:Species integration page.

The new nomination/discussion page is at: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Species integration.
