Hello -- let's have this debate, shall we? Let's grant that a hamlet of 700 souls has notability. But given that at no point in the near future is that "article" likely to expand beyond a line or two (certainly neither you nor I will be doing any meaningful expansion), why on earth not simply have a redirect to the parent commune article (Măerişte), which, for all its faults, does at least have some content, at least pertains to a commune with a mayor, a school, etc., and says exactly what the Cristelec "article" says? What do we lose that way? - Biruitorul Talk 15:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm aware of the fact that you put time and effort into fighting vandalism on wikipedia. However, my edit on Pityriasis rosea was NOT vandalism. I happen to know some things about this disease, and it is NOT contagious. Any source about the disease will confirm this information. Apparently other editors also rectified this information after your vandalism. Please be aware of the fact that some anonymous editors are NOT vandals, thank you! And please also remove the message from my talk page, as I do not deserve that kind of treatment. 157.193.203.65 (talk) 14:06, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Old move reviewed - The BridgeYou moved the article The Bridge (documentary film) to the ambiguous title The Bridge (2006 film) back in January 2008. There were 2 films titled The Bridge, both released in 2006 - thus the current title is ambiguous. Given that the documentary film is likely the primary topic (a quick google search would agree with that), WP:Primary topic applies here. Shouldn't there be a hatnote link at the top of the article of both The Bridge (2006 film) and The Bridge (2006 drama)? 70.71.22.45 (talk) 08:33, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Wikisource - delete "how-to"Thanks for your help on my Talk page about how to nominate something for deletion on Wikisource. I really did try to find it, but Help wasn't helpful. If you're an Admin, do you think you could let them know how tough it was, and maybe put a "Help" article someplace where it can be found? Also would be nice if there was a "Afd" template, for those of us who are more familiar with *pedia than *source, even if it's only a redirect to the one you directed me to. Thanks again!

Help requested from Prof.rickSorry, I didn't realize I was spamming! I didn't know if my cry for help would be most effective at the top or bottom of the Talk page, or with the word(s) "help" or "help me". I also didn't realize that I should state the nature of the problem. Again, apologies! Here it is: I have called for for a Speedy Deletion of the Article, "Richard Kastle". Please check the talk page there! I have evidence that Richard Kastle himself created the Article, and that he is NOT noteworthy. I've included a reference to YouTube. It is important that an Administrator SEE the posting to which I've referred, before Richard Kastle (aka mikecaffey) deletes his own comment, in self-defence! (He is NOTORIOUS for deleting any comments which might challenge his supremacy!) Obviously, Kastle himself began and wrote the Wikipedia article. It is also obvious that he is NOT noteworthy...any Google Search results which bring up his name lead to his own self-reference (YouTube, MySpace, and sadly, Wikipedia). Therefore, I am asking that an Administrator VIEW his own comments on YouTube: 1. Search "Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 Richard Kastle Liszt with the Horowitz cadenza" 2. Read the comments! You'll soon discover that Richard Kastle IS mikecaffey! Thank you for your help, and dedication to Wikipedia! Best, Prof.rick (talk) 07:36, 20 February 2009 (UTC) Thanks for your advice! I'll try it out! Prof.rick (talk) 08:01, 20 February 2009 (UTC) Not constructive contributionsHow is a statement of fact rather than opinion not constructive? I said "It has been suggested that Boll is deliberately making bad movies to take advantage of a German tax loophole <etc>" not that he "IS doing this", if you type 'Uwe Boll tax loophole' into google it returns over four hundred hits, I think that is fair evidence of it being suggested. Mex5150 (talk) 10:15, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
So you are saying if I link to somebody else saying 'if you type 'Uwe Boll tax loophole' into google it returns over four hundred hits' I can add it, but the fact that this is still true regardless of another page saying it is irrelevant? Hell go ahead and block me, I'm not going to waste my time trying to improve articles if the system is that anal LOL Mex5150 (talk) 20:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC) Barnstar

Sean BoruYou have deleted the tag proposing deletion of the article Sean Boru. You give as edit summary "prod is contested, please take it to afd instead if you wish to have it deleted (per WP:PROD)". However, you have not stated, either in your edit summary or in the article's talk page, why you think the article should not be deleted: perhaps you would like to do so. Note that the Proposed deletion policy says: "Editors should explain why they disagree with the proposed deletion either in the edit summary, or on the article's talk page", and in any case it seems to make sense to give a reason. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:57, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Yes. The tag was removed in the course of an edit for which the edit summary referred to rewriting and adding references, not to the proposal for deletion. At the time I thought the removal of the tag was indeed "not an objection to deletion", but had been removed accidentally as a side effect of the other editing. Having thought about it I think I may well have been mistaken, and restoring the tag was an error, so that you were right to remove it again. Nevertheless, none of this alters my feeling that simply removing a deletion tag without indicating why is unhelpful. Also no doubt as to whether the tag had been removed intentionally would have occurred had the person who removed the tag even said that he was doing so, let alone given a reason. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:00, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
That's fine: there probably is no more to be said. You are quite right, and I made a mistake. However, I thought it worth pointing out how such mistakes could have been made less likely, that's all. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:57, 28 February 2009 (UTC) Thanks for the helpThanks for the simple fix to Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Assessment, makes me feel a bit stupid.

re:Saito Nagasaki article revertsI must object to the reverts placed upon my fair and justified edits to the above-mentioned article. The man himself still owes various sums of money to many people involved in the 'successful' West Australian events he mentions, including myself and a large number of other former employees. The article itself is, to those familiar with him, greatly reminiscent of his florid self-promotion. I ask that you either delete it due to its total lack of objectivity or at least allow some degree of editing to it, as it is far from the truth in any context. 203.206.34.174 (talk) 07:40, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

RRQHi, All my posts are remove by Vincent, he always erase what I write, always! Even when it's source. I write the exact same thing as in the reference and I also put a link to the Journal de Québec proving many RRQ members were manifesting at Québec 400th anniversary and he erase it! Philbox17 (talk) In January 2008, the Réseau de Résistance du Québecois launched a campaign against Québec City’s 400th anniversary celebrations and accused the organizers of being revisionists. Here is the source http://www.canoe.com/infos/quebeccanada/archives/2008/01/20080101-094532.html Philbox17 (talk) A spokesperson for the Réseau de Résistance du Québecois, notable Quebec filmaker Pierre Falardeau had warned that, "some people will get their asses kicked" if the re-enactment took place. The RRQ had promised visiting re-enactment spectators "a trip they won't soon forget". The victory rightly belonged to the small Réseau de résistance du Québec and its spokesman on the re-enactment. http://www.montrealgazette.com/story_print.html?id=1296374&sponsor= . Here is the other link, evrything I write is the exact same thing as in the reference. It's not write that the RRQ make threat, it's write that Falardeau and the RRQ warned, Vincent dont seem to be neutral he erase evrything I write.

Delivered by §hepBot (Disable) at 22:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC) I have found more evidence of Wikipedia being misused for PR purposesHi there I have found an article about a musician called Dale Olivier which you have correctly tagged for deletion as it is improperly using Wikipedia to promote an non-notable musician. I have also found an article which is created by this musician to illegally promote his music company on wikipedia. The article in question is for "Matchbox Recordings". This article is under the listing of "UK Record Labels". However this company is not a bona fide record label. It is actually a music promotions company who charge unsigned bands for money to distribute their music to digital download sites like "Itunes", etc. This does not fit the proper description of a record label which is a company the produces, records & distributes from its own funds and not the artists who are signed to them. Matchbox recordings are a music promotions company that are improperly using Wikipedia to promote their services in which they will charge unsigned bands up front. Also any of the artists who "release" music through Matchbox Recordings have not charted in the UK, so therefore this company does not merit having a Wikipedia article written about them. Please visit their website to view these services which they charge their "artists" : http://www.matchboxrecordings.co.uk/ Thank you for reading this Regards MS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicspecialist (talk • contribs) 05:35, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
