Notability of Norway Corporation Repertory Company edit

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Norway Corporation Repertory Company, by I (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Norway Corporation Repertory Company seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Norway Corporation Repertory Company, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Notability of Norway Corporation Repertory Company edit

A tag has been placed on Norway Corporation Repertory Company, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert 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}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Parker Gabriel 22:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

WP:MOS edit

Peter, will you kindly quit undoing my fixes to Norway Corporation. The appearance of articles is determined by the manual of style. I'm trying to help you, to make your article conform to those standards; but you're just undoing my changes. Don't go complaining on the help desk that your stuff gets deleted when you're not willing to cooperate with other editors. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Regarding my revisions edit

I had written what I had written without full knowledge of the MOS. I apologize for any conflicts or misunderstandings that this might have caused.

For the record, my personal name is Parker, not Peter. That is, admittedly, a common mistake.

Re: Norway Corporation Repertory Company edit

When I wrote about Norway Corporation, Gene Roddenberry's company, I used the unofficial reference of Norway Corporation Repertory Company for all actors and actresses who had acted out roles in works directly connected to Roddenberry's authorship or production.

I might very well have lost any permission to discuss the reference in a wiki article myself, but I'm not averse to anyone else writing such an article.

Partridge Family FAQ? edit

Can anyone else editing The Partridge Family include a list of Frequently Asked Questions in regard to it?

Those who can do that have my thanx. Parker Gabriel 01:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Parker please make sure that you contribute information that is correct and necessary. The changes you made to this article were largely damaging, and those that weren't were simply uneccesary. (ie: "Together" was not the recording they made in the pilot, there was no such person as Brian Partridge, etc.) Please trust that the information in this article is accurate and true to the program, and avoid re-arranging sections that are already well-formed. As far as adding a "Frequently Asked Questions" section, you are welcome to do that but please honor the articles integrity. Thank you for your help dear.

Only Victims edit

I had found one credit from Robert Vaughn to be sadly overlooked--his having written Only Victims: A Study Of Show Business Blacklisting. I believed that any failure to refer to that would be remiss, and so I remedied that flaw. Parker Gabriel 23:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply


Speedy deletion of Serial vanisher edit

 

A tag has been placed on Serial vanisher 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 notable: 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- ALLSTARecho 09:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why "serial vanishers" may be relevant, especially to the FBI edit

I have seen several installments of Without A Trace, the television series program about Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel who track down missing persons, and have been considering the possibility of persons who deliberately disappear more than once--"serial vanishers," who force the FBI to waste valuable time, effort, and resources human and otherwise in tracking them down, only to discover that those persons had already deliberately disappeared again before they could be found.

When Adam Walsh was abducted, his father, John Walsh, was aggrieved and enraged enough at what eventually happened to his only son to, in time, become the relentless pursuer of fugitives that he became. Daniel J. Travanti, impersonating him in the made-for-TV film Adam, noted in one of his lines of dialogue, "The police can help you find your stolen truck, but not your stolen child?"

But what if that child did not WANT to be found in the first place? What if he, or she, in order not to be found, kept disappearing from sight time after time and again and again?

That was what motivated my contribution on serial vanishers, and I apologize if I made it in violation of Wikipedia's guidelines. Parker Gabriel (talk) 05:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

We noticed though that when you edited Elvis Presley, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages BMI and Tom Jones (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

recent edits to Cliff Richard edit

It appears you made some incorrect punctuation changes to the article. Please see WP:LQ. In short, if the punctuation is not part of the name of the work or formatting, it should remain outside the formatting for the work. This means quotes for songs or italics for albums. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:19, 22 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Elvis Presley edit

Please stop making edits to the Elvis Presley article. Your edits are mostly quite odd—changing names to formal names not reflected in sources, introducing strange text, or violating the Manual of Style. This is a Featured article and we need to maintain the highest quality of writing, sourcing, and MoS compliance. Please get some more editing practice and ensure you are following established styles and guidelines. --Laser brain (talk) 20:23, 11 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Banapple gas edit

 

The article Banapple gas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No reliable sources, probably a hoax

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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

The Village Of Brambleshire Wood moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, The Village Of Brambleshire Wood, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I wanted to follow up about your recent edits to Eliot Ness. This edit added helpful detail, but you moved punctuation inside the wiki markup, which is incorrect.
