Speedy deletion declined: Beats By Dr. Dre

edit

Hello Vivekdudee. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Beats By Dr. Dre, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you.   -- Lear's Fool 05:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Your recent edit to the page Beats By Dr. Dre appears to have added incorrect information and has been reverted or removed. All information in this encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable, published source. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite the references or sources or before making the changes, discuss them on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Do take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you. If by some chance it is true - then it violates WP:COI WP:AUTO and WP:PROMO. Srobak (talk) 07:40, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Beats By Dr. Dre, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Srobak (talk) 07:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Saint Monica Catholic High School, you may be blocked from editing. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

US National Archives collaboration

edit
 
United States National Archives WikiProject
Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts.

There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic·t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject FBI

edit

It was recently suggested that WikiProject FBI might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 19:27, 6 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Diamond Supply Co.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Diamond Supply Co. 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Removing Speedy at Diamond Supply Co.

edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for taking the time to contribute.

I'm a bot designed by another Wikipedia editor, and I'm here to help you with our deletion process. I noticed that while working on an article recently, you removed a speedy deletion template that tagged it for deletion. Don't get discouraged! Deletion discussions happen on Wikipedia all the time.

If you don't want the article to get deleted, please click here.

The link will take you to the talk page, where you can explain why the article should be kept. If you have any questions about this or need help with editing, you can ask at the Help desk.

We really hope you'll stick around to help make Wikipedia better! Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 00:57, 18 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Diamond Supply Co..jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Diamond Supply Co..jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 03:39, 19 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Coordinator sought for the US National Archives WikiProject

edit
 

Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!

We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.

Please see the full information at Wikipedia:GLAM/NARA/Coordinator and contact me is you have any questions. Feel free to pass this note along to any interested parties. Thanks! Dominic·t 21:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

The G1 criteria specifically excludes non-English content, which this was (Swedish). §FreeRangeFrogcroak 21:03, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

And A7 was more than sufficient for this. Please familiarize yourself more with the policy if you're planning on tagging more articles. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 21:05, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
