Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. Fahrenheit Royale 18:29, 21 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Stewie, you're about to take what may be a permanent wikivacation. Please stop adding nonsense. - Lucky 6.9 18:12, 10 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Dead Bodies Don't Drown edit

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dead Bodies Don't Drown may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. – ClockworkSoul 18:18, 10 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi, Lacstewie. I understand that having one's article deleted out from under them is frustrating, but try to understand that we're building an encyclopedia. To answer your questions, first, when I am on RC patrol, I keep an eye on all of the recent edits, and yes, that includes article creation and deletion. Second, regarding your question on notability: the Wikipedia community has debated the topic extensively (perhaps obsessively?), and eventually come up with the definitions that we keep on the Notability policy page. I hape that helps. – ClockworkSoul 18:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
  • By the way, I don't consider you a vandal. Some of us get a bit frustrated by dealing with serious vandals all day, and can occasionally vent on the new guys. I'm very sorry about that: nobody deserves it. – ClockworkSoul 18:37, 10 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Recent edit edit

Wikipedia is not a place for original research. Please see WP:NOR. If you can find a quote from some noteable person in the industry saying she never poses with her mouth closed then you can add that quote (properly attributed) to the article. Otherwise, it is original research and it does not belong in the article. Johntex\talk 17:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Attacks edit

There is a strict no personal attacks policy here. This goes for edit summaries. There is also a level of notability required for a subject to be included here. The band you're writing about doesn't meet the standards. Please read the tutorials and please consider contributing in a positive way. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 03:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • I was just doing my job since the content had been deleted before. Only Google hits I get refer back to a myspace page. Nothing personal at all; in fact, thanks for the nice note. Tell you what: I'll unblock the title, but I'm leaving it up to you to establish their notability. Good luck. I'll leave word on the article's talk page and hang an "under construction" notice on it. - Lucky 6.9 03:32, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
    • OK, you're good to go. Again, good luck. - Lucky 6.9 03:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • I replaced the most recent edit. Is there something I missed? - Lucky 6.9 03:37, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

ASGR edit

whats your problem with asgr? i've seen bands with farless info then asgr, and citing verbal conversations i've had with them after shows or hanging out on tour, isn't possible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.136.83.246 (talkcontribs) .

You're exactly right. Citing verbal conversations you had with the band after shows or hanging out on tour isn't possible. "Facts, viewpoints, theories, and arguments may only be included in articles if they have already been published by reliable and reputable sources." (from WP:V). "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." In other words, if you have an article that is full of true information that is also un-verifiable, then the article must go. Sorry. If you can't find reliable sources, then the band is probably not yet notable enough to be in this encyclopedia (no offense intended). ~a (usertalkcontribs) 15:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
