VfDHello there. I saw your weak delete at the recent AfD voting on German Soldier's House. Could you check the article now, after I added more sources? Sure, it's still a stub, but it's much better referenced IMO. BTW, I'm not so sure the name is well-established (the only easily-available source to confirm it is a German documentary - also linked from the article - while other sources I read do not mention any organizational names at all). But this is a matter of WP:MOVE IMO, not of WP:VfD. //Halibutt 21:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I took your comment about galleries and flag articles to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology but I'm not sure I properly characterized your message -- feel free to jump in and set me straight if I got it wrong. You raised a good point. --A. B.

I did a quick Google search, and the only place I can find this online are WP mirrors. Do you have a source for that claim? Also, I can only find one child for T. Bush, and Thats T. Bush Jr. I can't find anything that says Jr's middle name was Fairbanks. Can you clarify for me? Thanks! --Briancua 22:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC) Looking for inputHello, you recently participated in this AfD. There is a discussion going on at the article's talk page about the title of the article, so I am notifying everyone who voted or commented on the AfD in case you wanted to participate in the discussion.

AfD for Morgan-Manning HouseIt looks like someone rewrote Morgan-Manning House (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) so it wouldn't resemble a class project so much. The nominator of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Morgan-Manning House was thinking about withdrawing the nomination, but wasn't sure if that can be done now that there are delete votes out there. You might want to take a look at the article to see if it looks more legitimate now. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC) HiJust a hello, because I've noticed we seem to be bumping into each other recently (Wikipedia:African American (which I just closed as rejected by the way) & the École Polytechnique massacre FAC). I always appreciate your thoughts, so I thought I'd say hi. (Full disclosure: it's raining, I have the day off and should be doing schoolwork, instead am banging around the wiki). Cheers. Dina 16:44, 27 April 2007 (UTC) OopsThanks for to the helpful comments. I had tried not to edit anyone's comments under "I have a dream", but when I deleted my original post it left a Vandalism comment under the one above. I thought it was best just to delete the vandalism to keep people from getting the wrong idea. Thanks for the tip though. Last thing I want is to stumble blindly into a wikipedia mess, which is how I ended up here in the first place. Hopefully I can have more meaningful contributions in the future. Mindypeek 17:41, 3 May 2007 (UTC) Chicago Landmark StubificationFour weeks ago, you contributed to the WP:CHICOTW when Chicago Landmark was the article. This week, we are attempting to stubify the numerous redlinks with a goal of getting over half the redlinks stubified (we began with about 25%). This will improve our chance of getting it approved as a featured list candidate. When reviewing this weeks contributing editors your name was absent. You may want to choose a redlink or two from Chicago Landmark and create a stub before this week's project ends so that you can be a part of our drive for featured list status.

Glad someone appreciated it. :) Tearlach 00:26, 13 May 2007 (UTC) You commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qian Zhijun.

Chicago Landmark StubificationI am writing you because you either (1) edited Chicago Landmark 5 weeks ago when it was the WP:CHICOTW (2) edited it or created a stub last week when we had the stubification drive for it or (3) you nominated an article to be the CHICOTW in the last few days. I have finally had a chance to take a tally on last week’s stubification effort. Based on my manual count we now have 109 bluelinks on a total of 241 landmarks. Preliminary indications were that for our article to be successful at WP:FLC we would need to eventually rename it (something like List of Chicago Landmarks) and get the majority of the landmarks linked. Based on my cursory count we need to write 12 more articles to get to a majority. It would be great if you might be able to assist by creating a couple stubs to assist in this effort. Here are some of the stubs that were created during last week’s efforts: Black Metropolis-Bronzeville District, Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Arthur H. Compton House & One North LaSalle. Among the articles still redlinked are 2 buildings on this week’s CHICOTW, Magnificent Mile (Perkins, Fellows & Hamilton Office and Studio, Woman's Athletic Club). Recall that each redlink on Chicago Landmark has a footnote to a reference that gives you enough info to create a stub. If you create a new stub please add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago#Newly_Created_Chicago_Related_Pages so that we can keep track of the progress.

(TODO) When someone enters "panorama software" in the search box, the category "Panorama software" page would show. I'm not an administrator/sysop so someone else with these powers will have to remove the page. I'm not up to speed on all the procedures yet but I'm learning from the seasoned editors I run into on the pages I'm involved with. If you can help solve and close this issue it would be apprciated. John Spikowski 05:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dhartung, I've been following the Panorama Software since it opened but reserved comment until now [1]. I completely agree with your points and suggestions but now I'm wondering if I have walked into a quagmire of WP:COI here? CIreland 07:05, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure the name of the dam is Contra Dam instead of Verzasca? A Yahoo! search reveals far more hits for Verzasca Dam. (Obviously, that's not dispositive, just informative.) Chicken Wing 22:57, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm afraid you were rather stupid to renew the deletion campaign against Heim Theory. You should have read the discussion from the first deletion campaign in 2006 September, and/or the extensive discussion in the HT talk pages. Then it would be apparent that the grounds you gave had NOTHING NEW and thus your action was mischievous and incorrect. You are accordingly receiving a solid trouncing in this campaign and rightly so. --81.210.132.21 14:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

The Spoils pageHi there! I was just wondering why you placed the "Existance" tag on The Spoils. If it's simply because it's not very well-known, then I'm more than a little amazed, since I thought that this was an encyclopedia, which is supposed to contain everything, or thereabouts. I mean, I can see the use of the Existance tag, especially for vanity pages and pages that are about things that have already been discussed/are truly useless, like pages on the size of toenails or about the spacebar. But for things that are, in fact, unmentioned anywhere on Wiki already, or have a dedicated following, it's not very useful. If the tag was added because it's a CCG, then I point you to Magic The Gathering. I don't think that this is the reason, however. But I tend to think of every possibility, and voice my beliefs. I would also like to point out that I'm not disagreeing with your placement of the Sources tag. I'll try clean up the article with other, unbiased sources as soon as possible. Thanks.
You commented on this AFD discussion; I just wanted to notify you that I've added the article on the claimed upcoming album for this artist as a bundled nomination after it was brought to my attention. If you wish to modify your AfD comment in response to this change, please feel free to do so. JavaTenor 17:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC) G33Hi Dan, you have written the article G33 (industrialized countries). Where do you have the information from?

Timmy White deletionNotability does not expire, and when did we start reading the minds of article subjects? Perhaps George W. Bush wants his privacy, too. --Dhartung | Talk Is that the best argument you can come up with? Who told you he was on the same notability level as George W. Bush? No one even assessed Timmy White's notability? The article was created out of whim. It's people like you who bring Wikpedia down. Fighting for Justice 02:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Broadwater Farm(Crossposted to assorted "people I've run into and whose opinions I respect") I realise it's totally outside your field, but if you get the chance could you take a look at the article on Broadwater Farm I've recently created? I do think it deserves it's own article - yes, it might be most famous for events that happened 22 years ago, but having it as a redirect to Broadwater Farm riot seems to me as ludicrous as redirecting Germany to World War II or Northern Ireland to IRA. However, now I've set up incoming links it's likely to be a beacon for POV-pushing, so I'd like to get opinions on (a) what a NPOV will be on something like this where the two POVs are likely to be diametric opposites, (b) whether you think it can/will ever be stable (and whether it's worth trying to keep stable) and (c) how much of a focus ought to be on the riots as opposed to the place itself. If any of you feel the urge I'd also appreciate anyone who feels able/willing putting it on their watchlists, as I suspect it's going to be heavily vandalised & spammed — iridescenti (talk to me!) 00:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC) Courtesy notificationThere is a discussion to merge Nitrium to Nitrium (disambiguation) with redirects to nitrium (German) and nitrium (potash). I am notifying you because you made one edit to the nitrium article.

Chicago Landmark WP:FLCYou helped us at WP:CHICOTW create and improve List of Chicago Landmarks. This week we have nominated it at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Chicago Landmarks. Feel free to make comments about its candidacy or to come by and help respond to the comments of others.

There must be a better way. . DGG 02:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC) WPChi falling on its face?I hope you have been following along at Wikipedia:Featured_list_candidates#List_of_Chicago_Landmarks. If you have, then you may have noticed that the only drawback that seems to have emerged is the number of redlinks in the list. If you check in at WP:WIAFL this should not be a surprise. There is nothing much else really to complain about, IMO. I have said from the initial CHICOTW nomination. Unfortunately, once we worked on the page we found preponderant redlinks. I have always known this would be a problem and asked for help creating stubs. You may recall I encouraged us to spend an [Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago/COTW/History/CLstubification entire extra week creating stubs]. This still fell short of getting the majority of articles linked. I continued to suggest that we attempt to create stubs. This whole effort six weeks ago seems to have brought down WP:CHICOTW. Since this attempt to get people to create redlinks for a budding WP:FL people have stopped participating in the CHICOTW. This week marks the fifth week in a row that there has been no significant editorial contribution during the CHICOTW. I would say I am afraid to lose CHIICOTW support by mentioning this, but since NO ONE has come by to help this week, it could not get any worse. If anyone cares about getting an FL at CHICOTW for our past efforts it might be a good idea to express such concern by creating 5 or so stubs from among the redlinks at List_of_Chicago_Landmarks. Since I have already created about 3 dozen I have mentioned on the discussion that I am standing pat with my contribution to this concern. However, if any of you cares, feel free to make some stubs. The 20 minute stub instructions are still available. If you create any such stubs list them at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chicago#Newly_Created_Chicago_Related_Pages so that everyone can help you to clean it up. TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC) More help neededIf you have been following along at WP:FLC#List_of_Chicago_Landmarks you know we need help creating stubs for the List to make it a more useful list and help it achieve WP:FLC status. Since I reminded people of this 7 stubs have been created. We need about 40 more to be safe although we may have a successful candidacy with the article as it stands. Some of you may also be following the success of WP:CHICOTW at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/COTW/Good Articles. For the last 4 weeks no one has been very active. Thus, I am fearful that Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Harold Washington Cultural Center, Crown Fountain, & Art Institute of Chicago Building will all fail at WP:GAC when their turns come up. Also, Magnificent Mile did not experience the collaborative spirit. Our reputation as a successful collaboration is at stake. In addition to making stubs for the FLC we need your contribution to our collaborations. I am sorry to pull you away from whatever other wikipleasures you may be experiencing, but we need your help.
