Speedy deletion nomination of Halo car edit
A tag has been placed on Halo car, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. 78.32.143.113 (talk) 12:48, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
BJJ photo edit
I'd agree the Vella vs Rominho is the clearest technique (some of the others look like an average brawl but as their's no moment...) the only other one that gets a look-in is Lucas Lepri vs Gregor Gracie, where you can see the Kimura coming, but you have to know what your looking for in that. It does have the advantage of having one white one blue gi though, I can see uses for for several of them Though good find! --Natet/c 11:35, 17 February 2010 (UTC) p.s.

Bayocean article edit
Great work on the Bayocean, Oregon article. In fact, really nice job on it. I'd like to make sure you are invited to the WikiProject Oregon- it doesn't look like you've been. Template follows.

Cheers, tedder (talk) 23:41, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you sir! Bayocean is such a great, obscure part of Oregon history, I couldn't believe there wasn't an article for it already.
- I greatly appreciate the invite, but, despite being an Oregon resident and having been one my entire adult life, I have little specialized knowledge regarding the State and I'm not sure how much further I could contribute.
- Whatever the case, I'll continue to create/edit Oregon-related articles whenever the opportunity or need arises. :) Buddy23Lee (talk) 19:34, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Okay. There is a Collaboration of the Week with two articles every week, and there are plenty of things/areas needing adoption- especially outside of the Portland/Salem/Eugene area. In any case, glad to see you around. tedder (talk) 22:07, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
marking edits as minor edit
It looks like you are marking (almost) all edits as minor. Please don't- minor should only be used for very tiny edits such as adding/removing a comma, fixing spelling, or changing spacing. If you aren't checking it by hand, I can figure out how to turn it off in your preferences, just let me know. tedder (talk) 17:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- Ten-four sir. I guess I've always just (erroneously) assumed my definition of "minor" was the correct one. I had reserved un-minor (major?) for things like adding a picture, or revamping an entire article. If you got a sec, could you point me at a wiki article that sets out the definitions? I'd certainly like to be more in-line with policy. Thanks Tedder. Buddy23Lee (talk) 18:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- No worries. See WP:MINOR for more information. Again, it's good to have you here. tedder (talk) 18:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks again Tedder. I didn't realize I was inadvertently dodging edit scrutiny. "...any change that affects the meaning of an article is not minor, even if the edit concerns a single word...". That's pretty clarifying to me. Consider me a changed editor. :) Buddy23Lee (talk) 18:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- No worries. See WP:MINOR for more information. Again, it's good to have you here. tedder (talk) 18:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for editing "My" wikipedia article, I'm still new, so it's a good thing you fixed it up and adeed a pic. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wastedgrunt36 (talk • contribs) 23:00, 14 April 2010 (UTC) Yea, I had lots of trouble with citing, it's kind of hard when your talking about terrain.
Categories for discussion nomination of Category:Fires by type edit
Category:Fires by type, which you created, has been nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you. Cgingold (talk) 09:16, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, it occurred to me that it would be easier to simply repurpose this category and create a new one for these articles instead. So you can disregard this notice. Cgingold (talk) 12:07, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Cgingold. I should have probably created it as a sub-category to begin with. Honestly, I don't make cats very often so I appreciate the help. It looks way better now too! Thanks! Buddy23Lee (talk) 17:41, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Roy Harris (composer) edit
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Roy Harris (composer), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Roy Harris. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
July 2010 edit
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Roy Harris a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Feinoha Talk, My master 17:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
- Aye, lo siento. I realized it after I did it, I could have just used the easy move tab too. :\ Buddy23Lee (talk) 17:34, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Roy Harris edit
Hi Buddy23Lee. I completely understand where you are coming from, but in this case I believe the composer Roy Harris is clearly the primary subject. The order of google hits is really not a good indicator of importance. Google often puts article placements up top based on financial incentives. (i.e. Roy Harris the martial artist is probably paying google to be at the top of the search results). A more tell tale sign of notability would be the number of published works on the person. There are several biographies published on the composer Roy Harris, and no biographies have been written on any of the other Roy Harrises. His music is also discussed in hundreds (possibly thousands) of publications, and as his work is still performed internationally, he has wide recognition. Anybody who has taken music history in college will have studied him. Further, well over 100 wikipedia articles link to Roy Harris the composer. Only 2 articles link to the martial artist, 5 to the boxer, and 5 to the linguist. I think the fact that the composer is mentioned more than 20 times the amount than any of the other Roy Harrises within the encyclopedia is a strong reason to assert he is the primary subject.4meter4 (talk) 00:05, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
