The article Superdrewby has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for 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. NawlinWiki 03:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Allen Christie.JPG

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Allen Christie.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 07:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Allen Christie

edit

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Allen Christie, 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 "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Greatest Hits 2.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Greatest Hits 2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the John McCain page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Happyme22 (talk) 22:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to John McCain, you will be blocked from editing. EnviroboyTalkCs 22:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Radio

edit

WP:NOT, which is a binding policy on Wikipedia, clearly states that radio station articles are not to contain schedule lists. If you want the stations' articles to contain information about their programming, you can always write real content that actually puts it into a properly encyclopedic context (see CFNY-FM for an example of how this can be done). But an undifferentiated list that tells you nothing about the programming besides "this person whom you've never heard of hosts this shift" is just trivia, because it fails to explain why the reader should care. It's just a list of people who aren't independently notable.

The policy isn't that articles can't contain any information about the station's programming at all — if you're familiar with the stations, then by all means, feel free to add some content that genuinely describes their programming. What the articles can't contain is a plain list that only says "Mornings: John Doe, Midday: Jane Smith, Afternoons: Mickey Jones", because the names by themselves don't mean anything to a reader who doesn't already know who they are.

And also, please note that in a couple of cases, your reversions removed content that is required on the articles, including ownership templates and references. Bearcat (talk) 15:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

WP:NOT, which is a binding policy on Wikipedia, clearly states that radio station articles are not to contain schedule lists. If you're having trouble finding it, it's point 3 under "Wikipedia is not a directory." It's a policy that must be followed, not a suggestion that you're free to ignore.

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --Madchester (talk) 05:17, 9 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppetry

edit

It's pretty "coincidental" for this account and User:24.65.122.251 to focus on A) plugging a non-notable band (The Abram Brothers) in the Viva la Vida article and B) editing Albertan radio stations. Wiki's not a platform for promoting up-and-coming acts. Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 05:20, 9 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Dave Rutherford

edit
 

The article Dave Rutherford has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NJOURN. Lacks notability and sources.

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.
