Hi! Interesting essay, but there's a no original research clause that prevents it from being here. It also appears to be a copyright violation. - Lucky 6.9 18:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

May I suggest that, in addition to the no original research policy, you take a look at Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Thanks. - Jersyko talk 20:39, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

{{unblock}} Hi! I am working on some things to do with wter skiing and boats. I hope to finish without losing my train of thought! What happened!

{{unblock}} HEEEEEELP!

Your account isn't blocked. Please let us know what the message is that you're getting when you try to edit. It will include the IP address you're using which is probably what got blocked. Thanks. Shell ^babelfish 04:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Please help us to help you. Copy the contents of the block message you get when you try to edit. Your username has NOT been blocked but you may be being hit by a block of another user who has used the same IP and been blocked in the past twenty-four hours. --Tony Sidaway 16:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Orchestra articles...

Hello, Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia.

A suggestion in respect of the orchestra articles you have added, would be to expand them to include any notable appearances, current conductors or notable players and so on?

ShakespeareFan00 14:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your orchestra contributions! I've added a bit to a few of them but of course would appreciate more. Cheers! --Fang Aili ^talk 15:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination List of Narrators

I've nominated the article List of Narrators for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that List of Narrators satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Narrators . Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of List of Narrators during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

I did read your comments (but please don't use edit summaries for commenting) - there is no Category:Narrator or Category:Narrators. There is a Narrator but articles and categories are not the same. --Jamoche 05:44, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you quite understand. The alternative to deleting this is not to put these people into the article Narrator, but into a category. The difference between an article containing a list and a category is that an article gets added to a category by putting a category tag at the bottom, and then the list is maintained automatically, whereas if there's an article with a list, the editor has to edit two different places. That's why people say lists can be unmaintainable. Look at Category:Actors; articles get on that list when someone puts [[Category:Actors]] on the page. --Jamoche 22:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello AtlBo! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 903 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Max Raphael - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 20:56, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Scott Flansburg

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Scott Flansburg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Scott Flansburg 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 09:53, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Charlene O'Brien

There is not one valid reference in Ms. O'Brien's article. Half of the references are dead and the other half don't show anything about what they are supposed to be referring to. Please fix the references. Bgwhite (talk) 06:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I thought you created the article. I added a redirect. There can't be two articles of the same person.Bgwhite (talk) 06:49, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Alabama Symphony Orchestra for deletion

Proposed deletion of Harlan Saperstein

The article Harlan Saperstein 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.
