WPPP-LP

I got started on this when I noticed this local station absent on a list of Georgia Radio Stations. Because I, like you, have a real life, I didn't get it finished right then. I hope to create a more complete stub in the next hour or so. --Blahblah29 (talk) 19:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry to be pissy earlier--it seemed like I was gone for just two seconds, though it was several hours. I'm done for now, and I'll take the under construction tag off now. --Blahblah29 (talk) 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Also, not trying to say it actually abides by policy, but with the new wording of A7 (doesn't apply to controversial ones), stuff like that can't really be speedied if there's a debate on whether or not it has consensus notability. --Smashville 20:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Eyes Set to Kill

I searched google and found lots of pages dedicated to them. They also have official youtube videos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eyessettokillfan (talk • contribs) 17:09, January 7, 2008

The page does not satisfy all. Neither does several existing articles about other underground musical groups. I may perhaps have to neutralize and clean up the page. Eyessettokillfan (talk) 22:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


Teen Resource Center

The user "brad" seems new to Misplaced Pages, so I thought i would give him a chance to explain himself, We should not bite newcomers, now should we?

I tried to explain to him what to do, before his first article is mercilessly removed. I am not particularly involved with the article, but it is my duty to help new wikipedians, do not you think?Λua∫Wise 16:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

What is wrong there is no copywriting? ♥♦¢åŗđş♣♠ (talk) 19:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

FWIW - I think your taking this aticle to AFD was the right thing to do - there are clearly opposing views on the worthiness of it. Just because it seems the usual outcome I expect the result will most likely be delete but I hope to at least give the article a chance! Ros0709 (talk) 19:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Andrew Ogilvy

Hi, I really don't know a ton about what constitutes notability, and I don't really follow basketball. In case you asked because of my recent creations, the college football players I've been adding are all almost assured to be drafted in the 2008 NFL Draft - some even in the first round. So that's how I know they are notable enough. Sorry I can't be more help.►Chris Nelson 18:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

This is not an appropriate speedy. A7 is not about notability - it's about high school kids making articles about themselves or other such vanity articles. The assertion that someone is a DI football or basketball player is itself an assertion of significance and if you believe it should be deleted, you should use the {{prod}} template or take it to WP:AFD if the prod is contested. --B (talk) 18:09, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Division I, the highest level of NCAA competition. Not all DI players are notable by any stretch of the imagination, but unless someone was doing something pointy like creating articles on every backup longsnapper in the Sun Belt Conference, it's not an obvious case and needs to go to AFD. Speedy deletion is only for obviously inappropriate articles that are indisputable. In the case of a major college football or basketball player, it's disputable. The longsnapper may not be notable and the walkon practice squad point guard may not be notable, but a starter for a major team is notable. So something like this needs to go to AFD if there's an issue. (In this case, there isn't - this player is clearly notable.) --B (talk) 18:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Please help removing the deletion notice

I have impoved the article considerably, please help removing the deletion notice. 12.34.80.98 (talk) 08:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Notability Help

Hi. Thanks for the welcome note. Could you see if Daw Mi Mi Khaing satisfies the notability criteria? I added four references and would appreciate a second look. Thanks!--RegentsPark (talk) 14:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Your comment to Djbj16 (talk · contribs)

Thank you for the suggestion. I noticed that you hope to be an administrator. So I would like to return the favor and make a suggestion for you. If you get your wish, I'd like to suggest that you break out of the mold that is prevalent among some (but not all) administrators: irrational tolerance of editors who have made more than a few edits and persistently fail not only to abide by Misplaced Pages's guidelines for a quality encyclopedia, but to even bother to read them. I think new editors should be given some flexibility. But editors who have been repeatedly warned and fail to make the feeblest attempt to comply result in a poor quality encyclopedia. So we end up with happy editors who continue to blunder (or bulldoze) their way through countless articles. That's why Misplaced Pages, although unparalleled in breadth and depth of coverage, is woefully inadequate when it comes to reliability and quality of many individual articles. The administrator system helps, but unfortunately doesn't help nearly enough. That having been said, best wishes in your attempt to be an administrator. Ward3001 (talk) 20:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Regarding User_talk:Tube_bar

It should be noted that the user Tube bar is the previously banned user Stonic. You'll notice from his edit history he already started adding links again to that site. Likewise, he recently used Special:Contributions/4.153.59.194 to vandalize several pages with AtariAge references. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 05:38, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

No, you're not jumping the gun. I haven't done it yet because I've had dealings with this guy off of wikipedia, and he's basically a psychotic person that will go all out to get what he wants (including harassment and "shady" methods". You're seeing some of the early stages of this in the discussion. The second I get involved, it was escalate it in to a whole new level. I'll point you to the thread in the discussion forum of Digital Press, where he's posting as Stonic and documenting what he's all been doing here - www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112000 "the trouble with Misplaced Pages". I believe that also constitutes politicking, as he's trying to incite people to start up on Misplaced Pages. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 17:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Just letting you know he registered another account now and was busy vandalizing pages and spamming digital press links again: Special:Contributions/Rockgardenmagic. You'll noticed he vandalized all AtariAge related links and AtariProtos links (which is run by a friend of the AtariAge guy). --Marty Goldberg (talk) 06:29, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


And its done (for now). The sock puppet report was approved: Misplaced Pages:Suspected_sock_puppets/Tube_bar, and the admins have taken it a step further and moved to blacklist the site he was spamming all together: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Blacklist.3F. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 02:33, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

RE Tyra Banks and Tyson Beckford

I couldn't figure out how to cite the references, anyway i found the heights at celebheights.com and just thought i could help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by T john1986 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Ludwig-Musser

I disagree with your edit because little else in the article establishes notability. Certianly the introductory paragraph does nothing in the respect. Perhaps something can be said in the intro that will help? - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 22:17, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

The fact that Ludwig's products are used by various famous musicians is speckled everywhere within the History section. Having a list violates WP:IINFO and WP:EMBED. Also, the list doesn't help establish notability due to it being a first-party source, which works against WP:ORG. Not that anyone should really doubt the notability of Ludwig anyways.--SeizureDog (talk) 22:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
RE: "I tend to disagree with the notion that Lugwig is a name that is famous on its own merits"
I simply meant that it's unlikely to get deleted over notability. Of course the article should still establish itself.--SeizureDog (talk) 23:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Adam Lippes

Added to article page, which obviously still does read like an ad. Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:lolcat

No problem. I wouldn't worry too much about violating 3RR, if you check the history you'll see the other editors adding the link have already well and truly surpassed it. I'll keep an eye on the page and protect it if necessary, in the meantime, we can has discussion because DO NOT WANT edit wars! - Zeibura 20:46, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Templating

I noticed you Templated Science apologist for being in an edit war. Any reason you chose not to template Levine2112? PouponOnToast (talk) 21:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

For future reference, I find that people think more of your neutrality on issues like this if you either chose to write personalized messages, or template any and all without evaluating who did and did not violate 3rr. The template you used, {{uw-3rr}} does not require the user to be over 3rr, just to be engage in an edit war, which both of them obviouly were. I hope this advice will help you in the future. Have fun! PouponOnToast (talk) 21:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

"This is an underhanded means to reinforce one's viewpoint."

Can you explain in detail how a redirect to existing policy is what you're claiming? --Ronz (talk) 00:12, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation! --Ronz (talk) 03:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Article probation notification

This action appears to be disruptive. Be aware that disruption on any article related to homeopathy may result in a topic ban, per the community based remedy described at Talk:Homeopathy/Article probation. Therefore, I hope you will be especially careful to set a good example for other users. Thank you. Jehochman 15:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

RFD

Based on the outcome of this are you going to proceed with filing an WP:RFD? -- Levine2112 23:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Molton Brown

Hi there, Thanks for the response, can you please explain why Molton Brown cannot have a stand alone page rather than linking to Kao? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheeky10 (talk • contribs) 10:12, February 4, 2008

Well, Cheeky10, it seems that your article creation was not in the correct/acceptable format, as was deemed to be advertising or spam. It may have been that it was simply too corporate-sounding and did not have the proper tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Kao Corporation, however, is the perfect place to cite verifiable, reliable secondary sources, and if the information about the company becomes significantly cumbersome to be contained within the Kao article, it can be broken out into its own article once again. But proper sourcing must be followed, and the information must indicate that the compnay is notable for inclusion into the Misplaced Pages encyclopedia. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

User name

My name is not at all random, at least not any more than your name (WODUP). WODUP is not an English word but just looks like several random letters to me. I'm sure this isn't the case in regards to your name as the letters W, O, D, U, & P have some significance for you. Likewise my name, Askdnapn39nfkjfen, holds significance for me. Chalk it up to chaos theory, but order is usually found in seemingly randomness. the Ask-dna part should be obvious: I believe that we can learn a great deal about humans, both physically and psychologically by unlocking the secrets of human DNA, thus the Ask dna. The P & N are my initials, my age is 39, and the other letters are the first initials of my children. At first I tried to create a username that was a single English word but all my options were taken so I decided to be a little creative. I'm truly sorry if you thought my username is random, but as you can see, it simply is not. Askdnapn39nfkjfen (talk · contribs) 11:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Robert borsody

I was in the middle of using Twinkle to nominate Robert borsody for CSD:A7 because the original editor removed the copyrighted material when they saw my other CSD tag. I ended up on the original page, not the renamed page. It wasn't a manual nomination. I'm not sure how your renaming helps anything, but no harm done.
