== The Wolf Hunter ==


== Wikimedia Ireland ==
I don't see how any one has a right to delete some ones work from here. Misplaced Pages is a Encyclopedia for people to gain knowledge about things in life, pop culture and things from around the world. The Wolf Hunter film it's self is a film that has lots of fans and supporters as does the character. I think just because its not as well known as Freddy or Jason does not mean it should not be on here. I have already seen that some one else has edited the article as well. I think that if this does go off its a shame and what kind of Encyclopedia for the people rob people from learning about films and characters from a independent film.

A while back you added your name at ].

I was not aware you had any other points, I do not see any that have any merit and are in need of addressing.

If you disagree with this category, would not the sensible thing to do be to place the person in another category, (like ], e.g.) instead of the redundant ]?

I'm not sure where this discussion is coming from, but people born in Northern Ireland can be considered British, Irish, Northern Irish, even Ulstermen or Ulsterwomen.

==Sable Starr==
Hello, BigDunc, thanks for relisting my latest srticle on Maud de Braose. My article that you tagged yesterday was deleted as I slept last night by an American editor.(I am on CET).I had found more sources on Sable but it was already deleted. This is not an ego thing, I really believe she desrves her own article. Seeing as Misplaced Pages has a groupies cat, why shouldn't it include one of the most notable groupies of the 1970's along with Bebe Buell and Pamela Des Barres. I grew up in that time and place, I know how famous Sable was, far more so than Connie Hamzy who has her own article. The groupies cat is sparse because we aren't allowed to write articles about the real groupies. What irriates me is how so many editors, especially those in America, have a regional bias-if they have never heard of someone, well they cannot be important, so must be deleted ASAP. As I said, BigDunc, this isn't an ego trip, I don't care who submits the article, I just felt that Sable Starr merited an article and that other editor deleted my article too quickly.Thanks.Sorry for bothering you but I sort of regard you as my mentor here at Misplaced Pages.] (]) 15:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
:With an article like that you have to be '''very''' careful of violating ]. Have a good read of that, sources have to be strictly adhered to on it. The refs you had were to groupies.com and cant recall the other IMO hardly the most ] wouldn't you agree. Also seems to be a source of the article also not a relaible source. <strong>]</strong>] 15:42, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
::Also see it gives you a lot of help in creating articles. <strong>]</strong>] 15:46, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I suppose writing about a groupie could be rather dodgy, seeing as she was 15 years old in 1973 and most of the people I mentioned are alive. If I could just get my hands on a proper book about her which could be sourced with dates, names, page numbers, references etc I'd have another go. But until then, I guess my safest bet is to stick with my standard medieval heiresses. They're easier to source and cannot complain about libel!!!Thanks again, BigDunc.Cheers.15:59, 6 June 2008 (UTC)] (])

Hi,

A while back you added your name at Wikimedia Ireland. Well, it took a year (almost to the day) but ten editors have expressed an interest in starting a Wikimedia chapter in Ireland, which meets the criteria for a "critical mass". If you're still interested, I'd would be great if we could kick off discussion. Maybe, a first step might be to introduce ourselves (anonymously) at the chapter talk page with some ideas about what a chapter could do or a sketch of your interest in founding one ... or even just say restate an interest and say 'hello' :-)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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 Misplaced Pages 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.
