Welcome to the project! I saw your note on the new user log, and just wanted to say hi. The disambiguation page at Solomon's Seal is good work. Hope you stick around and do more. Isomorphic 17:49, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Speedy deletions

edit

Hi! Thanks for the good work on looking through the new pages. Just one point - when you write the reason part of the deletebecause, something like "case 4" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Fitzgerald%27s_Ginkus_Noodles) is somewhat ambiguous and not at all clear when i read it! However, if you don't want to type a long comment for each, just {{delete}} without the reason will do, usually it's obvious. Thanks. Enochlau 09:09, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

More on Speedy Deletions

edit

I don't think that speedy deletions are right for the articles that you have just nominated, e.g. Andrew Gower. It is true that they are very short, but Wikipedia contains many articles which are just as short and have been kept. I do not know enough about the subjects of the articles to tell whether they should be deleted after a VFD vote, but I think that thes earticles, which do contain some content, would need a well-thought-out discussion before deleting them. Some of these articles look like they have no content because they are unformatted, and that is easily fixed. Try looking at Wikipedia:Deletion log to see what sorts of things are usually deleted.

Thanks for adding this listing. I copied your request to the Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Speedy renaming section. Simple typo fixes and the like can go there, so that they get taken care of more quickly. --Idont Havaname 02:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

LinkStation Merge with Kuro Box

edit

I agree with you, I essentially merged the content into the LinkStation entry. See what you think, it could serve as a combined entry for Kurobox Terastation, and LinkstationRaumka 05:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Use of rollback

edit

Don't use rolback to revert good faith edits, for example the removal of unsourced content that has been tagged for over a year. Thanks, Addhoc 10:56, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Icecast-logo.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Icecast-logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:43, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of KDE Dot News

edit
 

The article KDE Dot News has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Specific obscure subject, could barely find any secondary sources whatsoever

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
