	Hi, Pitchka. I took at good look at the article's history, and you're right, it shouldn't have been tagged as a speedy delete and I should've looked at it more closedly before deleting it. I gladly reinstated it and included a comment that it's no longer eligible for speedy deletion.

	I'm sorry that you've been meeting with difficulty so far. It's really unfortunate, but many new users aren't treated with the respect they deserve, and I'm very sorry about that. Please know I'm always open if you have any questions or problems that you might need help with. Keep up the good work, and happy editing! – ]] 01:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

			The stub you wrote about this has been marked for speedy.
			There are people looking through the edits and foolishly deleting all stubs as not showing notability. I removed the tag as absurd, but it will surely be marked for deletion in a few hours or days unless you greatly expand it.
			There is quite a lot to say, as I am sure you know. --

			I hope to further expand this article, as well as ] in the coming weeks. If all goes well, I might even create a new article for the ] and try to make a ] out of all three together. If you're interested in helping, feel free.

			:That's interesting about ]. If you can cite a source, you could mention the connection between the two in their respective articles. As for how to help on these articles, I usually start by adding any ] I can find to the Further Reading section of each article, then start expanding the article from them, starting with the shortest source and going to the longest one. I'm almost finished expanding ] from the Cooke article; next I'll try to get my hands on a copy of the Bruce article and extract pertinent information about Sharp from it. Sharp's article will probably be ready for a GA nom by then. My cardinal rule is to cite everything as it's added; often when you're done, you end up with at least a GA-quality article.

	:Fear has nothing to do with it. Your "sources" are poorly-researched and biased themselves; Arbcom actually stated in relation to a case that FreemasonryWatch was too fantastical. Yet you have your links listed as if they are completely true. Like most critics of Freemasonry, you have a bad habit of taking things out of context. However, if a Mason tells you you're wrong, it's "Masonic bias", and apparently because we don't want you to reveal some deep, dark secret. I know perfectrly well that people love conspiracy theories, so there's that to consider, but my main concern is that it appears to be that you are attempting to wage some sort of personal crusade.

	:Now, let's look at it this way: not being a Roman Catholic, if I were to turn around and say that "Roman Catholics are pagans" because I could find instances where it was stated or claimed that Roman Catholics worship idols (largely by picking and choosing my quotes out of context as I saw fit), and tried to put it in an article, do you think it would be "fear" on your part that would make you remove that information, or rather the simple fact that as a Roman Catholic, you know better and are aware that the statement is false? Or would that be "Roman Catholic bias"?

	:As for accuracy of sources, so-called "Masonic sources" as fed through Ephesians, FMW, and other sites are inaccurate from a fundamental verifiability standpoint.

Hi! This article was tagged for notability and it caught my interest. As you would know, the guy was famous in his time and now becuse of his body of work. I added a bit of stuff and removed the tag but the article deserves some work. Someone who reads Italian could do a service on this one. I'm watching it with interest. Cheers!

That was a good catch that they are one in the same Francis Matthews. I googled it to double check, and you are right. Well done! --Briancua 23:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

If your are a good catholic man over 18 you would be eligible to be nominated. If you have any interest in this organisation please email me. --WikiCats 22:12, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Many are called, few are chosen. Pray about it. Email me.--WikiCats 00:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I've reverted the article to what I believe is the better photograph. Thanks for coming to me for help, and please let me know if there are any further issues with this. - Brian Kendig 18:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Our Sun day Visitor

The stub you wrote about this has been marked for speedy. There are people looking through the edits and foolishly deleting all stubs as not showing notability. I removed the tag as absurd, but it will surely be marked for deletion in a few hours or days unless you greatly expand it. There is quite a lot to say, as I am sure you know. -- Wish I had time to help more personally.DGG 00:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Pro-Life Celebrities

Dwain, I thought you might like this list as it is going to be deleted!

This is a list of noted, or famous people that are against abortion and are of the Pro-Life ethic.

Barnaby Cabe

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Barnaby Cabe, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages'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. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Jim62sch 17:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

I've requested page protection at WP:RPP, hope it clears things up. (although you say you're a conservative...hey, anti-vandalism unites people!) —Ignatzmice _contribs 13:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Why would people find your profile offensive?

I may feel it shows a certain credulity (especially in detecting any trace of leadership, honesty, morality, etc. in George W. "whited sepulchre" Bush); but there is nothing which any sane person in a democratic republic should find offensive. I hope the vandals tire of you and go bother somebody else; I haven't been harassed for days now! --Orange Mike 23:28, 19 September 2007 (UTC) (took some of that reactionary Ben Stein's money once)

Is this Pitchka who started a page on Jose Lopez-Gaston?

I would like to talk to whoever started that article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.163.185 (talk) 04:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Solomon P. Sharp

I hope to further expand this article, as well as Jereboam O. Beauchamp in the coming weeks. If all goes well, I might even create a new article for the Beauchamp-Sharp Tragedy and try to make a featured topic out of all three together. If you're interested in helping, feel free.

BTW, your user page gets some serious vandalism, huh? Amazing. Believe it or not, there are some other conservative Wikipedians! Acdixon 21:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

That's interesting about Noah Beauchamp. If you can cite a source, you could mention the connection between the two in their respective articles. As for how to help on these articles, I usually start by adding any reliable sources I can find to the Further Reading section of each article, then start expanding the article from them, starting with the shortest source and going to the longest one. I'm almost finished expanding Solomon P. Sharp from the Cooke article; next I'll try to get my hands on a copy of the Bruce article and extract pertinent information about Sharp from it. Sharp's article will probably be ready for a GA nom by then. My cardinal rule is to cite everything as it's added; often when you're done, you end up with at least a GA-quality article. Only problem is no images of Beauchamp or Anna Cooke. If you run across any, please upload them. Acdixon 18:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oreste Migliaccio

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 Oreste Migliaccio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or an organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tracy Marie Fiorenza (August 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by AviationFreak was: This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Misplaced Pages article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Misplaced Pages. Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Tracy Marie Fiorenza and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Misplaced Pages's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

You do realize that there is a huge article on another person Craig DeLeeuw Robertson that should also fall under the non-notable category, but, for some reason Wikipedites approved the initial article. When it was pointed out that he didn't seem to be notable suddenly the article became The Killing of Craig DeLeeuw Robertson, as if that makes him more notable. Sadly, I think there are other reasons that Robertson is being written about so vociferously here but an article about Fiorenza is prevented from even being started.
