[edit] Speedy deletion of Laura Whitehorn

A tag has been placed on Laura Whitehorn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. —Travistalk 19:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] November 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with Laura Whitehorn. If you do not believe the article should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. The article you created was tagged because it contained almost no content. In its current completely blank state, it will certainly be deleted by someone. —Travistalk 19:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Travis-

The user I was helping (a student) had created the article in Word and then copied and pasted it into Wikipedia. Wikipedia didn't recognize the ref tags from Word, which is why only a part of the article showed. If you had looked at the edit page, you would have seen the entire page. It's taken me an hour to figure out the problem. I removed all the ref tags and cleaned up the text and the user will be going in again to put in the citations. I'm sorry I removed the delete tag, but I couldn't find, so removed everything to start over again. Please be patient. This is a new user and I think it would be useful to follow Wikipedia's fourth pillar of advice to "assume good faith on the part of others. Be open and welcoming." Thanks - Ubothell1 (talk) 20:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Sorry for the confusion and I’m glad that you were able to figure out your editing issues. However, I do agree with Ioeth‘s comments below about creating pages as a subpage of a user page and then moving them to main space when ready. Welcome to Wikipedia! —Travistalk 22:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Laura Whitehorn

Don't worry, this article is no longer tagged for deletion. If you like, you can review our speedy deletion criteria at WP:CSD. When it was tagged, it fell under criteria A1, which says that articles that are very short and have little or no context can be deleted immediately. It's just a mechanism that we use to keep the encyclopedia as clean as possible. As it no longer qualifies, I declined the speedy deletion. If you want, when you're creating new articles, you can create them in your userspace (User:Ubothell1/Laura Whitehorn, for example) so that you can work on them until you're done and then move them into the article space. This is a practice that many users follow, as it gives you as much time as you need to finish your article. Alternatively, you can place {{underconstruction}} at the top of an article that you're creating so that everybody knows to give you some time to finish it. Also, please remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes, like this: ~~~~. Keep up the good work! Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 21:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Laura Whitehorn

Laura Whitehorn, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Laura Whitehorn satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Whitehorn and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Laura Whitehorn during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. AvruchTalk 22:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Brown Anti-Klan Committee

I recently added an article about the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee. This seems to be a topic with which you might have some familiarity. The article is a little short, so if you have anything to add, please help out. I've had some trouble finding good information online, and I don't have any other sources about the group, except for a brief mention in a book about racist skinhead violence. One thing I'm confused about is the role of the JBAKC in the bombing of the Capitol Building in 1983. The article states that the group claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the May 19th Communist Movement article attributes the bombing to that group. This blog has an excerpt from a communique published in the JBAKC newsletter, but it's not clear whether the communique is from another group and simply published there, or is an actual claim from JBAKC itself. For this reason, I left out any mention of the bombing. Any help in getting at the truth would be greatly appreciated. Mycota (talk) 16:23, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
