Leon J. Lundahl Middle SchoolI have removed the {{prod}} tag from Leon J. Lundahl Middle School, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Lucas20 (talk) 02:37, 8 March 2009 (UTC) Whispers RadioCan you help this article from being deleted? Bongobob1984 (talk) 05:19, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Radio station coordinatesThe other day, I was fixing a series of coordinates that were out of range (e.g. latitude > 90°). There are still a series of radio stations I haven't gotten around fixing yet ([1]).
I'd be glad if you could help. -- User:Docu
College Valley - speedy deletion notice{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Hi.....i started to create a page on the College Valley but its been marked for speedy deletion. I am not sure why this would be the case. The Valley is referred to in the wiki article on Cheviot Hills ( northumberland) and you can see the evidence of an actual site here www.college-valley.co.uk There are numerous articles on wiki involving the valley The oak trees planted by Lord Collingwood were on a hill in the valley Hethpool house in the valley has its own page Arthur Sutherland has his own wiki page...he also once owned the valley Would it be possible for you to clear this up so i dont waste time here? Collieman (talk) 20:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for this.....i will get to the references .....but it takes time to write these pages..gotta fit it in with work and home....but thank you Collieman (talk) 17:07, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Bass Ackwards and Belly UpJust a friendly note on the prod for Bass Ackwards and Belly Up. I removed the prod because this book is in 565 US libraries according to WorldCat, and has been translated into at least one foreign language. While that's not enough to meet Wikipedia:Notability (books) by itself (I haven't searched for awards or reviews, so I don't know whether they exist or not), I know from past experience at AfD that this would be enough to make the deletion controversial, with maybe only about a 60% chance of deletion if no awards or reviews are found. Feel free to take it to AfD if you want. In the mean time, I've tagged for sources and notability. Cheers!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:58, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Re: Feri Lainšček{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Have you considered googling a subject before proposing it for speedy deletion? (Google results for Feri Lainšček) Viator slovenicus (talk) 21:48, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
Cut City speedy deletionHey, got marked with speedy deletion. Totally new to this (even though I made a few changes some time ago). Don't exactly know what it was that I wrote that made you want to mark it but the band exist and I made the changes I made because they're valid (I'm in the band so I would know what happens:). If it's references you want then sure I could help you out but I'm not sure where to put them. Let me know what's wrong and I'll try to correct it as soon as possible. Thanks a lot!/Max

Orphaned non-free media (File:WHTK logo.jpg)Thanks for uploading File:WHTK logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:20, 10 March 2009 (UTC) Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UCL Human Rights ReviewThree editors voted for deletion, true, but AfD isn't a vote, and the users' rationales were rather weak and inconclusive. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 00:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
I saw that you have nominated this article as an AfD - then I noted that you recieved an Article Rescue Barnstar - slightly ironic - anyway I have edited the article and provided a number of references to establish its notability - hopefully this should pursuade you to change your mind about its nomination. Dan arndt (talk) 04:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
ТаејоYou prodded Таејо because it had red links. I don't blame you for missing the fact that this was a doctored copy of Taejo using some curious characters: %D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%B5%D1%98%D0%BE. Larvish (talk · contribs) went on to create fork articles with titles using the same charater set on two of the red links. (I think it is some Chinese/Korean rivalry.) I have deleted all Larvish's stuff but I encountered Gојоѕеоn (a Korean topic) created by an obvious sock puppet. I also found Wіllіаm Luthеr Ріеrсе - a fork using a similar trick in the title. It may be a complete coincidence that this popped up at the same time since it was pure vandalism and not related to Korea. If you spot any more of these forks, please mark them for speedy deletion. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 08:46, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Regarding the article's transformation, since you are the nominator, here's the procedure I'd like to suggest:
These appear to be in line with the guide to deletion. First, would you support this process? Second, what further changes would you recommend to the sandbox in its present state? I believe to have now removed most references to sources not considered acceptable under WP:VG/S? Thanks for any additional input. MLauba (talk) 12:55, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
please dont PROD articles already tagged for NRHP dab cleanupYou PROD nominated Colonial Hotel, a stub disambiguation page that was already tagged for "NRHP dab cleanup needed". Please dont PROD any others of those, I am working actively on addressing those. Your prodding is just discouraging to me and to the person, helping me, who started the page and tagged it for me to develop properly. Again, it was already marked as "improper" in a way that would get it fixed. And I just fixed this one, out of order in the queue. Thanks. doncram (talk) 20:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

edit war?why do you keep reversing my edit/deleting Marryatville Primary School without engaging in discussion on the article's talk page? Many such similar articles of primary schools are considered notable and well-established. Your cited A7 reason for speedy deletion is also incorrect and inappropriate, as has been pointed out to you. In good faith I think article is a valid stub. Will put back again and please discuss. Suggest: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for discussion. ROxBo (talk) 14:06, 14 March 2009 (UTC) A9 tagging..Hello, you tagged a couple of articles with A9. Let me cite A9: "An article about a musical recording that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant and where the artist's article has never existed or has been deleted. This is distinct from questions of verifiability and reliability of sources, and is a lower standard than notability. This criterion does not apply to other forms of creative media, products, or any other types of articles." An article about the artist does exist on en-wiki, so A9 would not be appropriate. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 13:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
A7 TaggingThe A7 criteria only applies to "An article about a real person, an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant" (my emphasis). You'll notice that it specifically excludes schools and this is also made clear in the template added to the page. Given this and your recent A9 taggings that have also been in error (some of which I notice where also incorrectly tagged for A7 previous to A9) can I suggest you carefully read WP:CSD before tagging more articles for speedy deletion. Dpmuk (talk) 13:24, 13 March 2009 (UTC) Could you remove the speedy deletion tag please, I've only just created the article and had no time to perfect it yet. It does seem rather early to declare it "non-notable".GordyB (talk) 12:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The point is that you ought not to be adding speedy delete tags so casually. This doesn't qualify; the most that you should have done is to put it up for normal deletion. Even then it's pretty poor wikiquette to do so without at least googling the subject matter first. I would repeat the comments of others and say that you really ought to read the protocol for speedy deletions before tagging any other articles.GordyB (talk) 15:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
improvements on recent changesHi Rtphokie. Could I arrange a time to talk to you about updates that you made on Bob Thomas (reporter) right after I created it. The changes were about the Hollywood Walk of Fame but I have a better idea on a link. (e.g., to hwof.com) which has much more accurate data. Let me know if you would like to chat. (I'm new to Wikipedia BTW). Pnerger (talk) 03:14, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Rtphokie. The problem with the Chamber's site is the it is terribly out of date and inaccurate. The addresses are inaccurate, they are in the wrong location, the references change etc. The result is that it creates problems on the back links. For instance, the Bob Thomas link to the Chamber results in the entry for Billy Bob Thorton. Yes, the Bob Thomas star is in the same vicinity but the chamber locations are ambiguous and will result in lots of similar results. The HWOF.com site on the other hand, was mapped by hand and there are unique identifies for each star. Further, it would be possible to get a dump of all 2,099 current stars on the Walk of Fame (a larger set than the Chamber as they have lost some) and ensure that every entry in Wikipedia has a reference to the star on the Walk of Fame. My view is that this would be a very good way to improve both the completeness as well as quality of Wikipedia which I believe is the end goal. Pnerger (talk) 19:32, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Reporting my pageDear Rtphokie I have been notified on 2 seperate occasions that you have reported my Wikipedia page as a violation of section a7 of Wikipedia's terms however, I invite you to read up on this Gallery before assuming it has no historical significance. Although I do not expect you to be an expert on the subject of Canadian art, I can assure you that the Klinkhoff gallery is one of the oldest, most respected galleries in Canada. I have decided to create this listing because many of our colleagues at other galleries have done so as well (without being shut down). If you do not believe the content to be suitable, I invite you to help me alter it so that it is, instead of simply deleting my page. I am new to creating listings but am more than willing to comply with the regulations. Regards, Geajc1951 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geajc1951 (talk • contribs) 19:07, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Rtphokie, It could not be improved because it was deleted before I could do so. I am new to Wikipedia and am beginning to understand how it works. Having said that, I am very willing to comply with whatever rules and regulations outlined by Wikipedia. Thank you for advising me that changes needed to be made however, I sincerely hope that in the future you would allow more time for people trying to create legitimate entries, to change what needs to be changed. For your own reference, Galerie Walter Klinkhoff is listed in the Canadian Encyclopedia under Art Galleries. I can assure you that The Canadian Encyclopedia holds equal if not greater standards to the content of it's books. Sincerely Geajc1951 (talk) 20:52, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

The museum may be small, but it is a stand-alone maritime museum in a separate location from the North Carolina Museum of History. I have been working on the List of museums in North Carolina, and this museum will also be included in the category maritime museums in North Carolina, which is different from history museums. I will be creating stand-alone articles for all the branch museums. They are all in separate locations and focus on different aspects of North Carolina's heritage.

Couples for ChristHello. I've removed the prod tag you placed on Couples for Christ. Now, I don't have much respect for this article (see my comments on its talk page) but prod is not really appropriate: the article has seen quite a lot of action and the group is unquestionably notable enough. Even if you sent this to AfD, I'd expect the debate to end up as "keep" or "no consensus" (but you're still free to try). A better solution, and one I've considered and implemented partially, is to strip down the article dramatically and remove any content that cannot be sourced to reliable third-party sources.
