Tagging for speedy deletion

Hi there. I noticed you tagged SamiYam for speedy deletion as A7. Please remember that A7 has strict requirements for deletion and an article about an artist that is signed to a notable label and associated with notable acts makes clear claims of importance and significance.

copyright issues on historic plaques

thanks for giving notice to me at my talk page that you thought a URL was needed. i've provided it, altho it was also available at the copyright issues page. It now appears the main discussion should happen at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights#Copyright status: historical marker text. doncram (talk) 02:52, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Gosh -- thanks for the barnstar

Thanks for the barnstar. I truly didn't think my edits to Interoperable Communications Based Signaling were sufficient to warrant that recognition. (Now, if I had stuck around long enough to beef up the reference citations, convert timeline information to text, and make other substantial changes, that would have been worthy...) Thanks, though. It's nice to be appreciated. --Orlady (talk) 15:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

AFD

There is independent refs, but they trivial mentions in articles that have to do with the company. It's in AFD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dennis R. Wraase Joe Chill (talk) 23:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Time warp

Simply put, I forgot to tell it to re-calibrate itself. Many thanks. Rich Farmbrough, 15:42, 1 August 2009 (UTC).

The above is in response to my question "Why is SmackBot time-warping?"

Just curious why SmackBot time-warped and changed some maintenance tags back to the previous month. See this. The article was originally tagged at 0045 UTC on August 1, and SmackBot made its changes at 1238 UTC on August 1, so it's unusual that it set the month to July. Maybe Smackbot is secretly yearning for Professor Brown and his Delorean? Truthanado (talk) 15:39, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Removal of PROD from

Hello Truthanado, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Gateway Elementary School has been removed. It was removed by K karenh with the following edit summary '(no edit summary)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with K karenh before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to AfD for community discussion. Thank you, SDPatrolBot (talk) 22:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC) (Learn how to opt out of these messages)

Requesting your assistance

As someone involved in Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools, your assistance is requested.

I am trying to avoid an edit war with User:K karenh over the Gateway Elementary School article. You can see a chronology of events here and here. I discovered this new article while patrolling. The article is about a non-notable elementary school and should be redirected to its school district article per Wikipedia:Notability (schools)#Failure to establish notability. I did that and it was quickly reverted by the author. I have left various messages on the user's talk page, as well as descriptive edit summaries on the article, without success. As a last resort, I PRODed the article and that too was quickly removed.

I am at a loss as to what to do next. I suspect that this user may be an elementary student who attends the school, so I have tried to tread lightly and be helpful explaining Wikipedia's rules and why the article should be redirected. It seems that this user is not willing to understand and follow Wikipedia policy and ownership of articles. The user has stated that other similar elementary school articles may be created.

I would appreciate any ideas you might have on how we can successfully resolve this. Thanks for your time. Truthanado (talk) 01:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

In reply to your message, I would give the editor a week or two to add some claim of notability then, if none is asserted, nominate the article for an AfD. I don't believe that this is a student but more likely a parent or administrator. Education on Wikipedia policies is a good start but Prod was probably not the best route as someone obviously believes the article is valuable (since they unredirected it), even if we can agree that it should be merged. I am perfectly willing to weigh in on any ensuing discussion as is the whole team at WP:WPSCHOOLS. Thanks for helping out the project and the new page patrol. Adam McCormick (talk) 02:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Truhanado, elementary schools are not de facto notable. The list of teachers, for a start, is inadmissible, it's not even done on middle or high schools. I think Alan is right about it being a parent or a teacher, the formatting is beyond the ken of a kid. IMHO this is one instance where I would nominate Speedy Deletion. I would suggest the user be blocked too if he/she does any more reverts. It's your ball game, but I'll join any short pre AfD discussion, but not to waste a lot of editor or admin time on it
This article is an exact copy of Creighton Elementary School District. The author is most likely an adult, and does not read their talk page. I've put an AfD merge tag on the article.--Kudpung (talk) 21:57, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

The user is clearly a child, as evidenced by her editing history. Regardless, US elementary schools are generally considered not notable - why, I don't know - and are usually merged into their school district's article, if one exists. Radiopathy •talk• 03:41, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Gateway Elementary School

Hi Truthanado/archive6! An article you have been involved with has been suggested for merging. Please see Talk:Gateway Elementary School, address the different points if you can, and leave any comments or suggestions there.--Kudpung (talk) 23:28, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Five-Handed Euchre (Bid)

I have nominated Five-Handed Euchre (Bid), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Five-Handed Euchre (Bid). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. ArcAngel (talk) 01:35, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Five-Handed Euchre (Bid)

Hi, I have a question about the original source of Five-Handed Euchre (Bid). I noticed that it seems to share wording with Five-Handed Euchre. If it was copied, attribution can be given easily, but it should be accounted for while planning the mergers. Thanks.

In case you haven't seen it, I started Talk:Euchre variations#Merging Five-Handed Euchre. Flatscan (talk) 04:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

The Five-Handed Euchre (Bid) article was patterned after the similar Five-Handed Euchre article. That's why both articles have similar structure and format. They are, however, different Euchre games. Truthanado (talk) 01:00, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Krenakarore suggested that it be merged to Bid Euchre instead. Please see the previously linked discussion. Flatscan (talk) 03:46, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

CSD

Just fyi, By Day By Night should not have been tagged as G1 ("patent nonsense"), since it's clear what it was. User:Balloonman/CSD G1 survey has some good information on what qualifies as "nonsense" and what doesn't. Best, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 01:20, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Possibly A1 (not enough context to identify the article subject). But that one's not very clear; for tricky cases you can just use {{db|reason= ...}} and handwrite something. For example, for that I would have mentioned how it looks like someone's just looking for webspace to put up their little play (or else, if it's not their own writing, it's a copyright violation). rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 01:28, 23 September 2009 (UTC)`

Lifescreen (band)

Hi Truthanado. Just wanted to let you know that I declined the speedy on this one, since there were assertions of significance (which the previous deleted versions did not include). Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:59, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
