John F. Burns edit

Why was the section on JF Burns deleted? As far as I understand, every comment that is properly referenced should not be deleted? - WestTruth

I didn't delete it. So I have no idea. AndreasKQ 12:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I see now why you asked me. I'd originally moved down your additions to a Controversies and Criticisms section. But that's all I did. AndreasKQ 12:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

removing talk page headers edit

A friend told me earlier today that tph is unnecessary in most cases, so I've removed it from articles that haven't generated any controversy or other issues on their talk pages. AndreasKQ 03:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

old magazine/newspaper clippings edit

Hello, I noticed your interesting categorization edits recently. Were you at one point a reader of Talk magazine? If you are, then you could help me out. It would be a bit of work, but you could go back through the old issues of Talk and help complete one of the sections in List of the writings of William Monahan. That would really be a great help to me. I don't know if Monahan had a two dozen, half a dozen, or just the one article at Talk. Every little edit you could make to the list would help.-BillDeanCarter 19:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I was a reader of Talk (magazine) but unfortunately all of my issues are in storage and currently unavailable. I don't know if an online archive of the issues exists. If I find out one does, I will let you know. AndreasKQ 20:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Okay, thanks. I figure it will take about a year to pull together a complete list of Monahan's writings. do you remember if it was just the one article in the first issue of Talk that was by Monahan, or if he was a frequent contributor?-BillDeanCarter 21:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I really don't remember at all. I generally don't remember bylines that well. AndreasKQ 14:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

George Gustines edit

A tag has been placed on George Gustines, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does 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 assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. exolon 19:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I understand. AndreasKQ 19:39, 7 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Gloria Emerson edit

Thank you for your recent edits. One of the nicest feelings when working on WP is when one creates a page, and it sits around doing nothing for a while, and then suddenly there's a flurry of activity as someone improves it beyond all recognition. Hornplease 07:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

You're quite welcome. Glad to help! Best, AndreasKQ 12:15, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

duplicate entry for NYC LGBT Community Center edit

thought you would like to know that there is an existing article for New York's LGBT Community Center under it's legal name of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Services Center, but we agree that it is sometimes a problem to find it since almost every place that has one calls theirs the LGBT Community Center or the LGBT Center or something like that, probably the best thing to do is to look in this List of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community centers first BiAndBi

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Talk:Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center, by Dev920 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Talk:Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

article deleted


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 19:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Lawrence Van Gelder edit

 

The article Lawrence Van Gelder has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

Proposed deletion of Elena Rover edit

 

The article Elena Rover has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
