A mentally ill, twisted freak like the Asperger's Syndrome sufferer Phoenixrod should learn how not to harass other people. No wonder you get death threats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quentinmatsys (talk • contribs) 16 November 2006

Quentinmatsys, I'm not sure what would possess you to make personal attacks and what could be construed as a death threat of your own [1]. My mental state is quite healthy, and I do not in fact meet the criteria of "[a] mentally ill, twisted freak"; nor do I suffer from Asperger's syndrome. What I do suffer from is a lack of patience for unexplained page blankings like these: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], and so on in this very talk page's history. What really baffles me is why you continue to remove messages in spite of being told how Wikipedia's policies about talk pages and minor edits work.[10] I would really like to continue to assume good faith with your behavior, but the above message makes that increasingly difficult.

Instead of erasing comments, I once more strongly suggest that you archive your talk page, in line with Wikipedia's policy, when messages become too numerous. But there are a couple of reasons why it is frowned upon to remove messages from other editors; look at Help:Talk_page for details. If you don't agree with a comment, that's fine -- but then you should respond to it. Erasing comments looks suspiciously like brushing things under the carpet. Not good. Wikipedia values transparency; that's why comments on talk pages are retained.

I apologize for reverting your talk page multiple times; that could certainly come across as edit warring, just as much as removing comments is. I honestly thought that you were not reading the messages left by various editors, so I wanted to make sure you saw them. It is also important for other editors to be able to see previous discussions; for instance, I had to dig through this talk page's history to find that other editors had suggested that you review the policy on minor edits. It's not fair to everyone else to make them do all that extra work.

I suggest that one way that you might try to cooperate more readily with other users is to use clear edit summaries. Without an edit summary for your removal of messages, I had no frame of reference to know if it was a hostile act or one made out of ignorance of policy. The second case leaves room for other editors to give you advice to help you get comfortable with the way things work in Wikipedia.

I hope that I have cleared up my reasoning and that you will become/remain a productive editor here. What do you say to that? Shall we shake hands and start over, and leave talk page messages intact? -Phoenixrod 08:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bob Perry (radio executive)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bob Perry (radio executive), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP since 2006 which does not assert notability per WP:BIO

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Quentinmatsys! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 331 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Ian Prosser (florist) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Lex Medlin - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Proposed deletion of The Miller Sisters (socialites)

The article The Miller Sisters (socialites) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

long unsouced, no evidence of any significant group notability aside from that attaching to any other group of celebrity siblings; no useful content.

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.
