[edit] George Courtney

Hi - thanks for contributing recently to the George Courtney page. However, the information you included is not relevant to the notability of the subject. It could also possibly cause distress due to its nature and the timing of its inclusion, and has been removed. Thanks. Refsworldlee(chew-fat)(eds) 00:27, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I understand if you think it's not relevant to the subject, but as for the timing, that is what it is. If a person featured on Wikipedia dies then I think it gets mentioned, sensitivity concerns or not. Unlikelyheroine 23:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. Thanks for your post at the George Courtney talk page.
I am a little concerned at your heavy inclination toward the word "reporting". This is an encyclopedia, not an up-to-the-minute daily newspaper where we all get to display the latest info on our chosen subjects, in all their glory.
We are not "reporting" anything. We are giving readers a grounding in the subject they have accessed, by carefully and (I maintain) tactfully examining facts as supported by sources, and then adding to the article if (and when) appropriate. If you would like to enter the world of news reporting, I would suggest opening an account at Wikinews.
In actual fact, I believe that Matthew's passing is now perhaps less sensitive to the Courtney family than it was - after all, my concern was essentially the timing of the addition of information and its relevance to his notability, not whether it was actually encyclopedic in nature.
Anything which supports George's notability is naturally added immediately - reportagé on secondary issues connected to him are not so urgent, and I say there is room for compassion and tact where the latter is concerned. Otherwise show me the guideline which prohibits this.
I would not now object if you went back and added the info about his son, given the passage of time. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 20:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] June 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to PIG LIKE IN APPEARANCE DO YOU LIEK THE VIDYA GAEM, are considered vandalism and immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Do not create pages like this. ~ Wikihermit 03:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

That was nearly two months ago. Also, you will need to contact an admin as the page is deleted. ~ Wikihermit 02:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Unlikelyheroine, I'm an admin. Wikihermit didn't mean to insult you, but it had appeared at the time that you had created an article with such an insane title because someone moved the page to a different title, and it was not immediately apparent that you had not created the article at that location. Because, as an admin, I can view deleted revisions, I let Wikihermit know what he needed to (he asked me to take a look at this case), so the honest mistake warning you for creation of a page with a ridiculous title won't be held against you. :) Hope that helps, Nihiltres(t.l) 02:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Glad to have it sorted out :-). Happy editing! ~ Wikihermit 02:40, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shebah Ronay

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Shebah Ronay, 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 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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. B. Wolterding 19:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
