The name "Shamu"

Hi, I notice you did not provide any reference (citation) for the line you entered into the Shamu (SeaWorld show) article about all SeaWorld killer whales having the "last name" Shamu. In your edit summary, you state that you learned this "...from a Seaworld employee yesterday." Unfortunately this appears to violate Wikipedia's policy against Original Research. See: Wikipedia:No original research

"Wikipedia does not publish original research. The term "original research" refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and stories—not already published by reliable sources. "

See also: Wikipedia:Verifiability

"The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."

"All material in Wikipedia articles must be attributable to a reliable published source to show that it is not original research,..."

"Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core content policies, along with No original research"

The new statement has been flagged as "needs citation" and will probably be removed if no citation from a reliable source for this claim is added to the article. (See Wikipedia:Citing sources). I did a quick search of the web but could not find any reliable source that supports this claim. In fact the SeaWorld web site offers a different explanation for the use of the name "Shamu" in its shows: from the SeaWorld "Ask Shamu" FAQ: "Which one is Shamu?"

"Shamu is a stage name that we use for any of the adult (male or female) killer whales in our shows."

If you can find a reliable source that supports your addition (and does not contradict SeaWorld's official info in their FAQ) then please add it to the Shamu (SeaWorld show) article. Pugetbill (talk) 14:01, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

The employee did tell me this however you do have a good point about the only source thats online is Wikihow. Sign My Guestbook! User:Sumsum2010 18:28, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jim Hall Kart Racing School

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Jim Hall Kart Racing School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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 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 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. Codf1977 (talk) 10:12, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the notifiaction! I was going to add to the article this afternoon but I see it has already been deleted. There are several reasons this is a notable subject.These are some of them: 1) it is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, go kart racing schools in The United States and 2) many very notable race car drivers have completed the class. Advice on what i should do now would be apreciated=) Sign My Guestbook! User:Sumsum2010 22:46, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You can request undeletion if you plan on fixing the notability issue. It isn't permanently gone. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐) 22:50, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Just one quesion: How do I request undeletion? Sign My Guestbook! User:Sumsum2010 23:02, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind I found it.Sign My Guestbook! User:Sumsum2010 23:05, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

If enough information is added, the article could be suggested at T:TDYK to appear on the Did you know? section of the main page. I can help you work on it if you like. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐) 23:15, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

If you want to I would apreciate it! Sign My Guestbook! User:Sumsum2010 Talk 23:16, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

I moved it back to mainspace. The list of notable graduates is an indication or probable notability. It would help if you had an additional reference for each of them having attended besides the school's own web page. Remember that anyone may still nominate it deletion, so you should aim at the strongest possible article. Good job, and I'm glad you were not discouraged. DGG ( talk ) 23:04, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading this media,

However, it would be nice if you could give some kind of indication as to what license the media is under. That way other people can be confident in making use of it for many varied purposes :)

Adding license information also helps prevent media you've put effort into creating from being deleted :)

You may wish to read Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#For_image_creators which will assist you :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:29, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
