Hey if anyone wants to see an (I assume) random sampling of the stuff I edit, you can check it out here.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Silent Three, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

notability is not indicated and there is no article in which to merge this

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

Hi Tyciol, about a month ago you posted a question about UGLE's attitued towards OES on Vidkun's talk page. I just noticed it, and thought I would give you a more complete answer.

Approval/disapproval of OES is a jurisdictional thing. Remember that each Masonic Jurisdiction is independant of the others. While UGLE is respected and influential, it does not set the rules for other jurisdictions. OES is predominantly a US phenomina, and is very popular in those jurisdictions. If UGLE were to make a big deal of their disapproval, they would quickly face strong opposition by all 51 US Grand Lodges. UGLE may disapprove of OES, but it does not feel so opposed that it would risk a schism over it.

That said... There is an important difference between OES and Le Droit Humain (and other forms of Female Freemasonry). OES is not the same as female Freemasonry... it is a completely seperate organization that US Freemasonry supports. OES has different rituals, and the women who belong to OES do not call themselves Freemasons. Le Droit Humain and similar bodies, on the other hand, do use the same rituals as male Freemasonry and do claim to be Freemasons. Hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi, Tyciol, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

Some points that may be helpful:

• WikiProject Article rescue squadron's (ARS) main aim is to help improve Wikipedia articles and content. If someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.
• Sometimes we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Sometimes editors who are new to Wikipedia may perceive the deletion of "their" article as discouraging. Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.
• The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion.
• Our primary work is improving Wikipedia articles and content. A more dynamic list with article links and descriptions are located at our rescue list.
• If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.
• Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again — Welcome! ~~~~

The article Wombstretcha has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:35, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll host it on userspace until then ;). I will mention his notability which I am sure of, but only when I've sourced it. Your message is (Wikipedia:CSD#A7: No indication that the article may meet guidelines for inclusion) User:Tyciol/Wombstretcha Tyciol (talk) 01:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just making sure you know this project is completely inactive. It was originally a class project for some students at Columbia University, and hasn't been touched since they all left. If you want to start something along these lines for WikiProject Japan, I would support that (and I'm sure others would, too). It may take a little reworking to come up with something which will work better in the long run, but I think it could benefit the project. Please let me know your ideas on this (perhaps on the project talk page so others can participate, too). ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 01:44, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
