Vandalism and Jaime Herrera?

Hi...I noticed you put an alarming accusation on the talk page for Philippine Airlines Flight 434 about vandalism because the first officer of Flight 434 happens to have the same name as the candidate for Congress from Washington state. Please don't misunderstand -- I'm a conservative -- but to cry vandalism about being led to the Flight 434 page just because there wasn't a page already dedicated to State Rep. Herrera is a bit much, don't you think? With that said, I too have asked for a Wiki expert to look into your new web page because I'm not sure it meets notability requirements (that is, she's just a candidate -- if she gets elected to the US House of Representatives, then a web page would be appropriate, but I'm not sure it's appropriate just yet). Scarletsmith (talk) 21:51, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken

Hello! Sorry to get so jumpy about the vandalism; I just briefly scanned the article on Philippine Airlines Flight 434 and didn't see the connection with Jaime Herrera. I'll be more careful in the future before pointing fingers. Thanks!

Requesting Evaluation for Article Deletion

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Jaime Herrera requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies.

Mod Evaluation: Jaime Herrera is notable

Thanks to the mods who looked into this so fast--I really appreciate the clarification. Scarletsmith (talk) 23:16, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to hear that!

Thanks for your involvement, Scarletsmith; I thought the article met the notability requirements, which I have wrestled with before, including sufficient coverage in secondary sources, which Jaime Herrera certainly does. Especially considering her opponent, Denny Heck, has had a Wikipedia entry for months upon months while Herrera has not (I added info to his article too), the mere concept of Wikipedia as a fount of information in an unbiased way practically demanded Herrera have an article, too.

I'm just surprised, Scarletsmith; why didn't you think the article was notable, and why speedy deletion?

Sorry for the delay in replying...as national elections (US) approach, articles on everything from candidates to people who confront them at town meetings to a small-time blogger who creates a political satire YouTube vids pop up on Wikipedia like weeds, with some of them end up taking over previously-existing redirection links (or worse...things can get really hairy during political season). So, when I saw the removal of the redirect for Jaime Herrera (First Officer of PA Flight 434) and a complaint/accusation about vandalism because "Jaime Herrera redirected here [to PA Flight 434]" on the PA Flight 434 talk page, my "Caution--Possible Political Vandalism" antennae went up. Nothing personal, just experience with Wiki vandals during political election season coming to the fore. Scarletsmith (talk) 19:40, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I hear you; I did the same thing, just in reverse. My vandalism antennae went up because I couldn't see the connection between Herrera and the flight and thought a page for the candidate was appropriate under the circumstances. I've learned to be a bit more cautious before jumping to conclusions like that myself, and I very much appreciate your rationale. Happy election!

Proposed deletion of Elizabeth Scott (politician)

The article Elizabeth Scott (politician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Coverage is purely in the context of the race, there is no page covering the election to which a redirect can be made.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RayTalk 20:22, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your head-up is much appreciated. I'm on it.Wikibojopayne (talk) 22:04, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BRD pic for Template:Christianity - help!

hi there,

Carlaude has no monopoly on using his image for the template. If there is consensus to change the image, then so be it, but I stick with my opinion that using the face of Jesus is ridiculous simply because no one knew how he looked like. Use a cross or the cross with fish and get this unholy discussion over with. Gryffindor (talk) 03:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've kind of given up on directly editing Template:Christianity since it was replaced by {{portal|Christianity}} on the majority of pages, but I agree that face of Jesus picture is far from ideal... AnonMoos (talk) 11:06, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Bush

There is absolutely no evidence that Matthew Bush was of African descent. We DO know that he was born in Asia (which would make his son part Asian-American.) Had Matthew Bush been considered African, his marriage at Germantown Friends Meeting would have been considered illegal - but it wasn't.

Similarly, had George Washington Bush been considered of African descent, his marriage in Missouri would have been considered illegal. It wasn't.

What is uncontroverted is that Matthew Bush was born in India, making George Washington Bush one of the first Asian-American settlers in Washington State. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.91.43.105 (talk) 21:05, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have you considered reporting that IP on George Washington Bush to AIV? He's had a final warning but I'm not sure it's the appropriate venue - RFPP might be better. Thanks for your careful watching, BethNaught (talk) 08:43, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Washington State Legislature

While I agree, it would be nice for the Minority party to have color as well, coloring all parties confuses who is in the majority, especially with the State senate being run by a Coalition Government.

Ways to improve Anglican Diocese of the Trinity

Hi, I'm Rosguill. Wikibojopayne, thanks for creating Anglican Diocese of the Trinity!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article needs more references to reliable sources. Right now it appears to contain original research, which is against Wikipedia policy. To address this, provide claims in the article with appropriate citations.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
