Hi, Billie!

Your contributions are very welcome, but articles that tell nothing much more than the address of a local church really can't be kept here. There has to be a notability factor well outside your local area...and it has to have more content. Take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of style to learn more or just leave word on my talk page, OK? Take care and have fun! - Lucky 6.9 22:19, 10 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Dale Marples edit

Hi, Billie. I removed Dale Marples from the list of Faith preachers on Word of Faith. A Google search turns up a mere 26 hits on the name, so he can't warrant inclusion by any stretch. Cheers, David L Rattigan 15:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your edits edit

Hi, I wanted to point out wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Please consider this policy when editing inserting external links in articles. Thanks. - Jersyko talk 22:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Links edit

The classreport.com websie doesn't seem to have any useful content, at least for Hollywood High. We only want websites which provide useful further info for our readers. See Wikipedia:External links. -Will Beback 05:43, 22 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ty Schenzel edit

Ty Schenzel has been proposed for deletion. An editor feels this person is not sufficiently notable for an article. Please review WP:BIO for the relevant guidelines. Improve the article to address these concerns if possible. You might consider adding this information to a related article, if he can't sustain an article of his own.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe 04:47, 23 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Page Blanking edit

On 23-Mar, you blanked List of radio stations in Nebraska by city. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the page should be deleted, please follow the deletion procedures. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 02:58, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Prod note edit

This was (mistakenly) posted on my user talk page by User:Bigmacd24; the following message was intended for your talk page: – Swid (talk | edits) 19:29, 3 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Hanscom Park United Methodist Church, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Hanscom Park United Methodist Church. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.--06:10, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Forgotten word edit

Please stop adding links to forgottenword. This site is not a valid source; the writing is actually below that of a poorly-written blog, and the formatting and style of the site is below a really bad GeoCities of the late 90s. See WP:EL. -- Steven Fisher 15:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Regarding edits made to Omaha South High School edit

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Billiefan2000! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule groups\.myspace\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 17:02, 10 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Omaha North High School edit

Hello there, just commenting on your recent edits to this article. You seemed to of removed it already, but such stories aren't exactly encycledpedic. Although touching I will probably remove that whole section. Although you chose to remove it already keep in mind what is on WP:NOT which says

News reports. Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. Wikipedia is not a primary source. However, our sister project Wikinews does exactly that, and is intended to be a primary source. Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news, and can be updated with recent verified information.

Good luck, let me know if you have any questions.Virek 21:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Introduction edit

Hello Billiefan2000. I notice you've made a few edits to articles related to North Omaha, and that your userpage says you graduated from North. I also see that you tried to create an article for Hanscom Park United Methodist Church that got deleted.

I graduated from North, too, and grew up by Fort Omaha. In the last year I have written several articles related to North Omaha, and to Omaha in general. I believe that the city has a lot to be written about, and I am out to write as much as I'm interested in. You can see what I've done so far here. Along the way I've had some bad AfDs and I think I've learned a little bit. If you are ever writing an article related to North Omaha specifically or Omaha in general and you want a hand, let me know and I'll assist however possible. I would hate to see another AfD like what happened with HPUMC happen again... Take care. – Freechild (BoomCha) 18:49, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I just recreated the Hanscom Park United Methodist Church article. – Freechild (BoomCha) 19:51, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

List of Messanic Jewish actors and actresses edit

A tag has been placed on List of Messanic Jewish actors and actresses, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 172.150.188.38 16:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

CfD nomination of Category:Radio stations in Waco edit

I have nominated Category:Radio stations in Waco (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for merging into Category:Radio stations in Texas (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs).

Rick Warren edit

I am curious as to why you put links on Rick Warren to the emerging church and vise-versa? To my knowledge Rick is not a proponent of the emerging church movement although he's not against those who are doing so in a sound biblical manner. I think by linking him such brings unnecessary controversy. I suggest you remove it as it doesn't really add to the issues being discussed in either entry.

Insertion of the New Thought Movement edit

  Josh, Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Rob Bell and multiple other pages. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted.

Alexa Feser edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Alexa Feser, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.kuwo.cn/mingxing/Alexa+Feser/info.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Alexa Feser edit

 

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

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

A tag has been placed on Alexa Feser requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
