My semi-retirement is for non-Wiki reasons: I'm just too busy lately. -- JohnWBarber (talk) 00:04, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Claudia Anderson

The article Claudia Anderson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject apparently fails GNG, no significant coverage I can find of her.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Nuujinn (talk) 16:11, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Hey John,

Thank you very much for reverting the vandalism at Michael Eric Dyson. Like you, I am busy in real life, so I don't check WP every day. How you found that IP's foolery within five minutes of insertion – most serendipitous!

Best wishes,

John, I can see that you reverted the deletion of the Gentleman's Agreement and Sundown Towns. The book "Lies Across America" is available on Google Books. At page 383, you will find the passage regarding Larry Abbott. Abbott's alleged statement is unsupported hearsay from 63 years ago. The book itself provides no proof of the statement. Anything written in a work of "non-fiction" becomes a fact worthy of an entry in an encyclopedia? It may be a fact that the passage is in the book (indeed, the book says what it says) but it is not necessarily a fact that such a sign was ever installed. Also, it is not entirely clear to a Misplaced Pages reader that Abbott's claim comes from the book. It is particularly egregious given the allegation in the book to include such an entry in my view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mapmann (talk • contribs) 04:13, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited 1535 in poetry, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bocaccio (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dispute resolution survey

Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello JohnWBarber. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

Non-free rationale for File:ZoetropeAllStory.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ZoetropeAllStory.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:46, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
