Why did you try to make speedy deletion of the page U.Z.Z. I am its creator. And I want to know why.

-This part is made invalid do to the apology sent by me- U.Z.Z. creator.

Sorry, I'm new. Do you want me to put in stats? Like, I'm not sure the exact number of people killed or anything. I'm not really sure what you'd like. What would you include?Template:Unsigned:Effervescence92

Hi Erechtheus - No problem at all with deleting my article - it didn't meet the encyclopedia criteria! And now that I know about the criteria, I agree with it. Thanks for the note on my user page.

For me, the issues with using wikipedia are that I am so, so busy, and the few times I have time to write I don't also have time to wander through all of wikipedia's rules. For me, the time choice is one or the other - contribute, or learn the rules, which can mean hours and hours of wading through policies which may or may not be relevant. At which point I lose the train of thought about what I wanted to contribute in the first place. Sometimes it's easier to contribute and then let someone who actually knows the current policies (and where to find them) edit.

...and BTW, I have a question - all of the users I've met so far are men? Nice men, but is that just an odd coincidence or are there more men using wikipedia than women?

Pls respond on my user page, as the chance that I'll make it back here is slim.:) - Aunt Amanda

I saw that you claimed that I was adding nonesence to the article. I don't exactly understand what you are referring to. I added valid sources that legitimize the claims that the story has spread. I certainly don't think this constitutes vandalism. [tarzanman21]

Erechtheus... Thank you very much for your support in my request for adminship. Ultimately, no consensus was reached, and I failed to be promoted, but I am very grateful for your support. Erechtheus, thank you for your supporting opinions. Your trust in me to use the tools means a lot, and I hope that I can live up to your standards at some point in the future. Yours, Thε Halo Θ

so yeah....ok if it bothers you that much, then by all means tag it with an unsourced tag....Abstrakt

Please note that Alana Grace's songs on MySpace have been played over 400,000 times. Many people are interested in her music.

With this in mind, I would be grateful if you would remove the notability flag on the Alana Grace article.

Thanks,

Given that more music is being marketed and sold on-line, I would argue that plays on MySpace should be one criterion among several for notability. Perhaps that policy needs updating, especially since artists will soon be selling music directly to the public by way of MySpace. Please see the article on this in the Washington Post. [1]

Please note that Alana Grace has a song on the soundtrack CD for the movie "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (a movie that grossed $40 M). I would argue that being included on the same CD as established artists such as Chantal Kreviazuk and Natasha Bedingfield is itself a mark of notability - especially when a number of the reviews (e.g., on Amazon) said that the song by Alana Grace was one of the strongest tracks on the CD. Some even said that the CD was worth buying for that track alone. In fact, her song on that soundtrack/CD attracted so much attention that she was invited to sing it live on national television (on the Today show on NBC). That CD has been out for about 18 months and is currently ranked about 7,000 on Amazon - not bad for a CD that has been out that long. The Amazon reviews are at: [2]

As for tours, Alana Grace toured California last summer as the opening act for Ashlee Simpson, which gave her some visibility in that market. However, I wouldn't say that she sounds anything like Ashlee Simpson (much better, much stronger, in my opinion). Listen to her songs on MySpace, and see what you think.

On a point of more general policy, I would argue that the Wikipedia is particularly useful for finding out about new and emerging artists, and it would be good to have some flexibility in evolving, adapting, and applying the criteria of notability. For my part, I am always looking for new music by new artists (e.g., by following the "Listeners Also Bought" leads from one singer to another) - and whenever I do find a new artist, I always start with the Wikipedia article (if it exists) on that singer.

User:JD_Fan

Thanks for making me aware of the notability criteria. I have added my own set of comments to the talk page for these criteria, on "Niche Markets + New and Emerging Artists". Please see: [3]

PS: The comments on that talk page mostly refer to artists outside the USA. Generally, I write about Canadian musicians - but I believe in recognizing quality wherever it is found, which is why I wrote about Alana Grace, an American musician (whom I think will do very well here once her CD comes out in early 2007).

HI I'm just letting you know that I'm acting on behalf of the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project in creating their page for the encyclopedia. The content is copyright to the non-profit organization therefore with prior permission I was able to go ahead and "create" the page as for the image I do not know how to remove/ re-upload it

So what sources are necessary for an album which is a stub. I can't think what information on there could possibly require verification. As you stated, I've searched and found many albums, some with actual information besides a track listing, which don't have references.

Quoting WP:V: "Material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article"

I don't understand how a track listing of an album is likely to be challenged. Are you challenging the validity of this? If not, then WP:V says it doesn't require a source, to my reading.

Can you give another look to that page? I added some references.

Meh i'm less than fussed about how you view me, with a negative shadow or not. But hey, I'm glad that you managed to understand what i wrote, and well done on your efforts to help Wikipedia, I'm sure proud of you.

The "one of theleading women in science" phrase has been removed, though it is a fact. Please remove the notability flag Marcela Carena, or specify what it is aimed at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pertin (talk • contribs) 22:36, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

I read the article carelessly and thought it was an advertisement for the company named in it. Your tag was correct, so I removed mine. --Rrburke^(talk) 04:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

...Why was it deleted? CNN and Salon.com seem like reliable enough sources to me... I actually created it because it was listed on Wikipedia:Requested articles/Social sciences and I happen to be a fan. Rompe 21:54, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see many are concerned in why you are notability templates that will soon be considered for deletion. In my case, I am concerned in Suburban Noize Presents: Sub-Noize Rats and The Royal Family albums. You are saying that they don't fit the discription for a reliable article. These are simple albums that has little information. Many albums placed on Wikipedia do not have the greatest amount of work. The most that is possible for fixing is to add which albums some of these tracks are included on, but other than that this album has its full discriptions. And yes I understand the reference template. Thank You. Apologies2all 19:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen you tagging behind my English bishops creation spree, and just wanted to say thanks for the help! Ealdgyth | Talk 03:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop mistagging the Suburban Noize Compilation albums. Suburban Noize Records is a label known worlwide, also including a branch in Japan, Suburban Noize Japan. You keep repeatedly mistagging because you may possibly be looking to earn more achievements by deleting bands/labels you don't know of or possibly just mistakingly thinking its not notable, but they indeed are a well known company. If it is for the possibility that there is no Suburban Noize Records page, then blame that on the mistaggers who have gotten it block with no given reason. The albums are notable. Apologies2all 20:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to check it again? Are the sources okay now? (Note the talk page)--Speck-Made 20:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What more needs to be added to make the above not a stub? Aboutmovies 00:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SOFIXIT. Or tag it for WP:CLEANUP. Wl219 16:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

chill man, I just wrote the line, I will add sources later and hopefully expand it when I have time :) Capricornis 01:11, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

chill man, I just wrote the line, I will add sources later and hopefully expand it likewise, I'm working on it. --Rodhullandemu 03:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advice, I've only been here a few weeks and the "Under Construction" tag is new to me; I have left an editorial note on the page but if you can point me at the tag it would save me some time. I may point out I've been editing solidly for 16 hours and need some sleep- once I can leave this page in a state where I can come back & pick up tomorrow, that will be it for tonight. --Rodhullandemu 03:55, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thank you. --Rodhullandemu 03:59, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you added such templates in Save the Drama for Your Llama. This is kind of unfair. Howcome articles of the same category aren't being given similar tags? FoxLad 04:22, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the FIBA America official website a reliable source of the FIBA America Championship? the same for Oceania..Calapez 14:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You simply seem to be adding these templates to be rewarded for your additional offers to wiki. This template was correct when placed for the Suburban Noize Compilatiojn albums for the simple fact that Suburban Noize Records has no page. (Once again it has been decided to stay blocked by the adminisrators). The proble, is that you label the Sub Noize Souljaz page with a notability tag when this is outrageous. It is obviously notable for the group known as the Subnoize Souljaz and the reference is perfect for it shows full details in the album. I simply summarized the official site's discription. Look at the page and you'll notice it explains the album. You happen to enjoy mistagging and if this continues it will be notified for vandalism. --Apologies2all 19:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since you seem to be an "expert" wikipedian, may I please ask you if the references included in the Droppin Bombs article are propers resources. I believe that the official Billboard listings happen to be great references, but at the same time you happen to say that my others are not good enough so hopefully now they are. --Apologies2all 15:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was to some point getting irritated by the tag, but I did know it was for the best interest of the artices. I have noticed that All Music happens to be a popular source and I personally think it's great, but Billboard has always been my main source. Either way they both work and I appreciate the help for the article. As for Suburban Noize Records.... I have requested it be unprotected or atleast semi-protected, but it has'nt been approved. The first deletion was reasonable, but the second was done with no reason given. Hopefully, I can get the page up and along with other create what can be a great article. --Apologies2all 17:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some reason you didn't follow the recommended courtesy of giving the article creator a heads-up when you nominated Gaillard Hunt for {{db-bio}}? Geo Swan 21:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to let you know that you dont have to go tagging all of my new articles; I am aware that there need to be references, I just havn't done them yet; they should be completed by tomorrow night. Gizzakk 02:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I've just had a few instances of people "following" me around and tagging things that I am in the process of improving and it gets exceedingly annoying. Good luck to you as well! Gizzakk 03:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Boris Kotlerman, has been listed for deletion.

Hi. You have tagged as unreferenced a stub about a place, Rathmicheal. I am not sure what part of the stub you feel needs references. Some help here (Sarah777 08:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

I see where you're coming from; however I think it's a good faith edit rather than the vanity edits that we usually get. A quick Google search reveals that - although not from a reliable source - the band may be in fact notable. According to this, The Blood Drained Cows tour the US, making them notable, and they contain a member of Cold Sun - making Cold Sun at least worthy of a redirect to the page for 'The Cows'. I'm stretching things, I know - but maybe it's worth an AFD, which I'll set upp if you want? Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 01:25, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. Maybe an AFD is best. Music is not my forté - I am more of a technology man. We will give it a fewdays, then maybe I'll AFD it if it's no better. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 01:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I note you rated this article stub-class. That seems a little bit harsh to me: what do you feel I need to do to improve its rating? Loganberry (Talk) 02:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; I'm reasonably happy with start-class, so I'll leave it at that. I suppose one problem with people like this is that very often hardly any of their life details are known except for their cricketing achievements, which makes it hard to include lots of sub-headings, balanced coverage of their life, etc. Loganberry (Talk) 14:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the album of Aldemaro Romero La Mejor Música de los Andes Venezolanos (album), is not at the internet, the only source and references that i have is the LP.

Caracas 2000 15:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.

First off, I would like to thank you for making it clear about some of the changes I need to make to the article I created, and I will try my best to fix/clean it up. However, I am new, and would like some assistance.

First off, the song has not charted yet, but has been confirmed to be the next single. Future singles don't chart right away. I actually have some sources that confirm this, but they are in print form (newspapers/magazines), not online. How would it be possible to cite printed sources?

Second, I partially question the deletion of the article. I would assume that since I just started the article, perhaps wait some more before you tag it for deletion. Usually as time passes, more information will be available to be added to the article.

Anyways, thank you for your time, and a reply would be nice. :) K-121 Widowmaker (talk) 19:47, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please consider removing the template that you put on the front page of Highland Community College (Illinois). I added as many references as I was able to find. If you have any recommendations, please leave them on the talk page for Highland. Thanks for your help, (LonghornJohnny 04:34, 22 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Excuse me, but could you kindly leave the Mayo 1989 Championship page alone please? It is fully correct, I have personally researched this, and if you want the source, then here it is: Western People archives, summer/autumn 1989, c/o Mayo County Library, Castlebar, Co. Mayo, Ireland. Now go and mess with someone else's work. Owenmoresider 01:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well two points: 1) Where do I put these 'sources' on the page? 2) Can you disprove anything I posted there? If I wanted, I could put this stuff in a book and make it worth my while, but I'm not going to do that. I have a source, and I've no intention of abusing the wiki or posting inaccurate information - just to post up a record of local/regional GAA affairs of benefit to those who are interested in the subject. I've done this considerably on the wiki, and in good faith, there are plenty making a mockery of it without getting into technical detail about a rather minor topic of a minority interest. It stays as it is until tomorrow, when I'll return to the site. Owenmoresider 02:25, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think we were here before with Rathmichael; I have removed the single non-geographical word from the Inver article and would politely ask you not to replace the tag. Thanks (Sarah777 03:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC))[reply]

A primary sources template is unnecessary, seeing at the only complete lists of this organizations chapters are located only in print, and on their official site. A third party source for this information, not only for this organization, but almost every Greek organization, is impossible.

If third party sources are expected for lists of Greek organization chapters, then the Primary Sources template needs to be placed on just about very Greek chapters list on Wikipedia.

Thus, I will be deleting the Primary Sources Template off of the "List of Sigma Lambda Beta Chapters" page.

Socrates SLB KA 09:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How are list of Lambda Theta Phi chapters or list of sigma alpha mu chapters any different? In fact, the majority of seem to fall uner this problem, having only listed their organization's home page.
