I was impressed that you have already begun contributing to Votes for deletion - it's a dirty job, and it's always good to see a newcomer jump into it!
For this display of enthusiasm, I awarded you with the Exceptional Newcomer Award, and posted it on your user page. Good job!
If you want to know why I awarded you with the Exceptional Newcomer Award, this is a good example. As a newcomer, you quickly figured out our polices, and where all manner of debates and polls were taking place. Plus, I noticed that you have been contributing to VfD, which so many people avoid like the plague. Thank you for everything you're helping us with here, and though you personally for the barnstar.
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for deciding to contribute, and for what you've already done.
You should probably be aware of some conventions here. One of the important ones is that controversial and important articles like God are not moved or renamed without considerable consultation. You may think it obvious that the name should be changed, but others may not, and they may have good reasons why the article should be left as it is.
May I suggest you add to the talk page (at both Talk:God and Talk:Monotheistic God explaining the reasons for what you have done, and let people add their comments.
I appreciate you idea, and a move to God would indeed solve some of the deadlocks of the current article. However, the very question of what this article should be about, and how to draw a line between monotheistic God and polytheistic gods has been discussed very thoroughly on the page, and the issue is unresolved and a bit delicate. Therefore your unannounced move seemed a bit rash. No harm is done, though, we're just moving it back to where it was ;) dab 07:45, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
When you list something for deletion, be sure you add it to the main VFD page—otherwise it's likely to be overlooked. Wikipedia:Votes for deletion#VfD footer has complete instructions. —No-OneJones(m) 01:51, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
To answer your question: The original posting was a really malformed substub. I felt directing the thing to Vermont was the best thing to do since it didn't make clear where in Europe it was supposed to be. By all means, please feel free to expand the original article as you see fit. I'm heading for home. Long work day tomorrow. :^) Best, Lucky 6.9 01:55, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
It is a joke started by an IP vandal, not anything real. I've listed it for deletion - MPF 00:58, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for your support in my request for adminship. It was certainly a wild ride, and I really appreciate you taking some time out to contribute. ClockworkSoul 16:26, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I'll add my thanks too, for same. Are you really only in 6th grade? Wow. You're going places, kid. --Woggly 20:56, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi, you created a redirect from Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora to Jo Mora, but there is currently no article at Jo Mora. (It seems to have been deleted since the redirect was created.) Wikipedia policy is to get rid of redirects to non-existent pages, and someone listed Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora on WP:RfD If you want the redirect to stay, you will need to create something at Jo Mora (even a stub will do), or else the redirect will go away. If you do create the target, you don't have to do anything on WP:RfD (we'll eventually notice the target is there), but if you do, just delete the entry for Joseph Jacinto "Jo" Mora. Thanks!

PS: I don't usually check other User_talk: pages (so that I don't have to monitor a whole long list of User_Talk: pages - one for each person with whom I am having a "conversation"), so please leave any messages for me on my talk page (above); if you leave a message for me here I probably will not see it. I know not everyone uses this style (they would rather keep all the text of a thread in one place), but I simply can't monitor all the User_talk: pages I leave messages on. Thanks!
Hi Bart! I saw your request for deletion for NapSatan, which seems reasonable enough to me. I posted that entry myself, and I understand how its use might not be widespread enough to remain on Wikipedia. (It is certainly not a hoax,though.) However, I also noticed that you seem to have listed your justification for deletion of another entry, Homespring, under the NapSatan heading. NapSatan is not at all affiliated with esoteric programming languages. It looks like you need to create a new entry for Homespring. I'm a newbie (and now a bitten one at that), but I'm fairly sure that this is a case of misfiling. Thanks for your attention. Heathy --Heathy 19:51, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The page that you created (previously located at Nicky Jam) has been deleted. If you were trying to perform a test, it worked. However, for the future, it would be appreciated if you would perform all tests at Wikipedia:Sandbox. If you want to test creating new pages, please use test.wikipedia. Please do not continue to create test pages outside of the test wikipedia, or it may be percieved as vandalism. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page. Please ignore the part about it being percieved as vandalism, I know that you know it should be deleted :), this is a template. Thanks for tagging it as a speedy, but like I said, please perform tests in test wikipedia if possible. -Frazzydee|✍ 17:47, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Oh, I didn't know that was still a problem...I remember how that used to happene to me when a sysop deleted the article before I saved it with the delete tag, so I presume the same thing happened to you.

I came across your name one day when checking your watchlist, and I was impressed, upon looking over your edit history and talk pages, at the degree of community involvement you have shown and people you have impressed during your brief tenure here. If you're interested, when you get over 1000 edits, I'd gladly nominate you to adminship. Cheers, →Iñgōlemo←(talk) 05:22, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
I too came across your name, and although I'm nowhere near an admin, I just thought I'd say I really enjoyed your articles and your work here. So, in the words of Mike Nelson - "Thanks." :) ...now if only I had the time to edit here more... Nick04 21:28, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I don't enjoy seeing articles such as Fruit Brute being carelessly posted to VfD by 6th grade students. I will be voting against said adminship if it's ever proposed unless careful consideration is given to VfD listings in the future. —RaD Man (talk) 06:34, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
May I point out, Rad Man, that when the VfD was posted, the article opened with the words "It is a ceral. Hi yum yum in my tum tum". – ClockworkSoul 13:46, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
You most certainly may. However, it immediately followed up with an extremely valid stub: [1] "Fruit Brute: is one of a line of monster-themed breakfast cereals produced by General Mills. It is also the name of the cereal's mascot, a variant of Frankenstein's monster. Other cereals in the line include Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Fruit Brute, and Yummy Mummy. (Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy are no longer sold in retail stores.)" effectively obviating the opening nonsense. There is no reasonable excuse for nominating this extremely noteworthy breakfast cereal for deletion just because of a silly opening sentence. That's what the EDIT THIS PAGE button is made for, end of story. —RaD Man (talk) 03:52, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Can any further arguments be made on your own talk pages? It is somewhat annoying to have that size for one section. Bart133(t) 04:44, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
We all have VfDed articles that shouldn't have been. I don't think I lie when I say that. Every one of us has at one point come across an article with so nonsensical (with a title to match) that we don't even bother to reasearch further. Unless you can come up with an extensive analysis showing a pattern of overzealous VfD nominations, the Fruit Brute issue is little more than anecdotal evidence. I must also take issue with the mention of Bart's age in the above criticism. The point is that Fruit Brute was listed carelessly, not that it was listed by a sixth-grade student. →Iñgōlemo←talk 04:50, 2005 Feb 7 (UTC)
Thanks for your work at User:R3m0t/Reports. Ignoring the fact that Gmail addresses are now dirt cheap and available on Wikipedia, I can offer you up to 3 addresses as token of gratitude (and showing off that I have those invitations ;)) If you accept (reply on the reports page please), make sure that you are accepting e-mails from the left link "E-mail this user". r3m0t 22:06, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
By the way, I've released the source on User talk:R3m0t/Reports, but I already have the Feb dump if that's what you're planning to do. It's too old, though (or so I think). r3m0t 18:40, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It's probably a good idea to fill out the questions under the bold section, generic questions for the candidate. For one thing, it'll help people get to know you better. →Iñgōlemo←talkdonate 04:31, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
Hi. I was wondering about the image copyright tagging you've been doing. It's valuable grunt work, and I'm glad to see someone working on it. Looking at a couple of your contributions, I was wondering if you could fill me in on how you assigned GFDL status to these images: Image:Router bit profiles.png and Image:Rotsnake2.jpg. I'm concerned that the latter in particular may be derived from copyrighted work by A. Kitaoka. It would also help out a lot of people if you could answer the questions on the nomination page.
Cheers!
--TenOfAllTrades | Talk 20:21, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Fair play, then. I must have been particularly unlucky in picking out a couple of images from your contribution history—glancing through some of the rest, I'm quite pleased to see clean, thorough tagging. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 01:53, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
in re: deletions: I'm confused by an element of the deletion policy. If I see an obvious vanity page, can I submit as delete or nonsense for speedy deletion? I'm running across lots of cases where it seems that VfD is the official word but there's less than 1% chance they will survive VfD -- and submitting to VfD is nine times as hard as speedy deletion.
Obviously I won't blank anymore... that was out of frustration at the length of the formal deletion process. Alba 04:01, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Just a quick "thank you" for voting me for admin. Now all I've got to do is find out how to use these worrying new powers... Grutness|hello? 06:02, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I know it's only been two days of voting and you still have five days left, but if my observation is correct it is now almost certainly not possible for you to achieve consensus for promotion to adminship. But don't get discouraged - many fine admins were promoted only on their second (even third) subsequent nominations. JuntungWu 16:43, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hey Bart, I hope there are no hard feelings about my position on your RFA. I think you're doing great work so far. As I just noted in a comment there, I am hesitant about quick nominations in general. Perhaps a little more so for younger folk. As Juntung points out, lots of names you'll recognize got turned down a couple times, Neutrality for instance. Keep it up like this, and you can count on me next time around if you don't make it now. Wolfman 02:51, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The good news about your nomination: despite failing, a plurality of people still supported you. Way to go. If the comments there are any indication, if we try again in May you're almost certain to succeed. →Iñgōlemo←talkdonate 04:22, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I've taken over the responsibilities of Mind Benders, and the page will now be regularly updated.

Hello. Round four of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Thursday, December 1. This round will be drastically different from round three; part one will consist of a creative project, and part two will be developed from there. The full details will be released when the round opens. Time and speed should not be major factors in this round; thus, there is no exact opening time for the round as speed will not factor into the scoring. Thanks!

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.
As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!

As well as helping with the stub sensor project in the convential way I also update the percentages completed as not all users do this. Thank you for updating yours. However, I calculate the percentages based on the fact that each section already had 20 articles originally (and assume that the very last section, which obviously may not do, also has this number of articles). Some users do not do whole sections, Revragnarok kindly removed the Arrondissement of.. links and some sections had red links. Therefore, it is not necessary for the percentages to be multiples of four. Whilst I appreciate users adding four when they have completed a section or estimating, it is a bit annoying to see the whole tables percentages all being made into mulitples of four when I go to the trouble of calcualting each percentage carefully.

Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.
Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!

In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

While Betty Mills who is well known locally, lives in Nailsworth and has given it years of faithful service doesn’t even get a mention. Appaling.
Oh.... And Kit Williams lives in Horsley not Nailsworth... So he doesnt count either.

Bart, I don't know about all the abuse stuff the IP wrote about on your talk page, but he's right that removing warnings is not prohibited by policy. Archiving is preferred, but removal is taken to mean they've been read and acknowledged. See Wikipedia:User_page#Removal_of_warnings. I'm looking into the other things right now.--Chaser - T18:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Okay. The abuse stuff would probably be counted as a personal attack. However, the text with which he replaced the warnings was definitely against policy. Also, he removed {{sharedip}} templates, which is also prohibited as far as I know. Bart133(t)(c)18:48, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm not sure about the sharedip template, but otherwise yeah, I agree with you.

If you'll direct yourself to section 1, paragraph 2 of the page that you sent to me. I made no threatening remarks on the page and simply by reading your talk page, it looks like I'm not the only one who has a conflict with your edits.72.14.252.13618:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

As you've noticed, someone is vandalizing the Apollo 11 article. Could you report him while I revert him? He has vandalized 27 times so far. Savie Kumara21:47, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome; if it gets heavily vandalized again after the semi-protection ends, either go to RFPP and request semi-protection there, or just ask me. :) Acalamari03:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good day,
I'm writing you to ask why Beau Long's page was marked for deletion when many exist within the same criteria with no worries. Michael White page for example.. his bandmate IS the Nuthin Sacred indie label and run out of their apartment. He's done extensive editing to his own page and it's there purely for self promotion as well as the rest of the Mojo Rib stuff. There are many other examples that fill the Wiki site. We helped shape an era of the LA scene in the 80's and should be considered legitimate entries. Especially considering the amount of "bedroom only" musicians that are on the site.

Thank you for participating in My RfA which closed successfully. I am honored and truly more than a little humbled by the support of so many members of the community. It's more than a bit of a lift to see comments on my behalf by so many people that I respect. I'll do my best to not disappoint you or the community. - Philippe | Talk02:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your support at my recent Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Angus Lepper RfA, which failed, with no consensus to promote me. However, I appreciate the concerns raised during the course of the discussion (most notably, a lack of experience, particularly in admin-heavy areas such as XfDs and policy discussions) and will attempt to address these before possibly standing again in several months time.

I think you're ready. I'd like to nominate you, and I'll ask The Transhumanist if he'll co-sponsor. Please let me know if you'll accept. --Dweller11:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Your last RfA was something of a disaster and it will definitely earn you opposes unless you can convince people that you're a very different beast. Nonetheless... --Dweller08:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
This is not a condition, but I strongly recommend you participate in a bunch of RfAs before you run, for no other reason than to get a better idea of how they work. (Some more xfD contributions wouldn't go amiss either) What do you say? --Dweller08:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
OK See this thread. Before I went into RfA, I did a bunch of XfD contributions where I was the first respondent, so I could demonstrate to anyone that my antennae were usually working OK (it's not expected (IMHO) that a candidate needs to get experienced enough to get it 'right' every time, especially as the admin cabal would reckon that some XfDs 'get it wrong', lol) --Dweller08:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Dev-cpp.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot04:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Why did you delete the article on Catpiano?
I know it seems as a hoax but it's not, atleast it is true that it was an idea to cure insanity since it is mentioned in several german books from the time.
Most information also points that it was in fact used in practical application.
Use a search on google with these keywords (cat-piano, katzenclavier, insanity) you'll find that my information does not come out of thin air and is not a hoax.
My article may be small and does not contain A4's of information but it is a small subject and it isn't much more to write about it and I seen several pages on WP that is equally small or smaller than my catpiano article. And does not conform to any of the WP vandalism criteria.
Next time you blame an article of Vandalism please EXPLAIN why and pinpoint your opinion to a WP Vandalism criteria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.182.112.48 (talk) 11:22, 24 January 2005 (UTC)Reply

Don't know to PM, but it was an acceptable statement as many people consider the CS to look like that. It may not be liked, but it is true.

Actually... let me apologize for supposedly attacking you... Deleting my page was a very hasty decision I hope you and Wikipedia come to regret... And to answer that question yes the game does allow you to hack as long as you're not trying to hack closed battle.net and of course if you knew what the material or game was about you never would have put the page up for deletion... but alas there is nothing I can do but repost and then have you or someone else delete it again... oh well.... its people like you and these other editors deleting good pages that just makes everything go wrong... oh well... i'll just make a newer and better one in a few weeks... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragnarok thegod (talk • contribs) 18:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey there! Saw you tagged I Am The Pilot for speedy deletion. Please read up on the band, it is a significant group. They're signed to a sublet of Warner Brothers called East/West, who also have groups along the lines of A Static Lullaby, Plain White Ts, Sugarcult, and many more on their roster. The label I Am The Pilot is on also has Just Surrender, a group that has their own Wikipedia. Just sayin'. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ericsmithrocks (talk • contribs) 17:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
If you think an article is non-notable, include the {{vfd}} template at the top of the page, edit the link that will appear to explain why you think it should be deleted, and list that page on the Articles for deletion page. RickK 01:07, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for voting on Talk:Gdansk/Vote. I just checked all edits, and the software is sometimes acting funny, removing one edit with the next edit. Could you check these diffs [2][3][4] to see if all votes are placed where you wanted them to, or if a vote was removed accidentially. If everything is fine, then never mind, and thanks for voting. Also good luck with your adminship -- Chris 73Talk 02:43, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
A quick thanks for voting me to adminship. Your nomination didn't reach the consensus, but I am sure, when you are nominated again after few months, you'll get a huge support, just like fvw did. Your work is greatly appreciated, so don't be dismayed and keep editing. utcursch 08:06, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I followed a link to ask you about a page I just made. I'm kind if a n00b so I hope I'm in the right place.
Anyway, I just spent like 3 hours making this page about this page. I found and posted all the references that it calls for. It's a wiki about a band, I don't see how that would be a problem. In short - I 'm completely confused with what I did wrong. Why is there a notice for deletion on it?
"Your references are all social networking pages, such as Myspace. Those don't really assert notability. See the notability guidelines for bands. Thanks, Bart133 (t) (c) 17:28, 29 January 2008 (UTC)"
ok, but the pages themselves are made by the artists. There's an online contract that you must agree to to when you make a music page, so by a fan point of view, one must assume that all the information, seeing as it's repeated among MANY pages online, would be plausible.
Well, myspace has become more of a standard and less of just another networking site. I don't know, people don't seem to be their wasting time and money to construct sites that they have to pay for, since myspace offered everything you'd need for band promoting. I did the best I could and found all the external references that I could find. I worked hard on this. I'm a big fan of this band. How am I supposed to find an article specifically about something they've done over 5 years ago (ie. gotten radio play or interviews).
btw, I noticed this page managed to somehow slip through the cracks of the "wiki approval system", (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly_(band)). I'd love to know why is this allowed to be up without references? The whole article is mostly name dropping without any kind of reference (wiki or external) or link to back the claim. This goes against the "Criteria for musicians and ensembles"
Bart, Since it has the disclaimer, that is being used to support the named page...can we leave it in for awhile? I have stopped the communications to others, per your warning, but I would like to leave it in the discussion. It is my concise opinion on the matter. Beings that this is a discussion on what can and cannot be posted, I would like it to remain as an example. I would be more than happy to place other disclaimers on it if need be. Respectfully, 70.4.248.49 (talk) 02:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Understood, The point was in demonstrating the fallacy of 'anything goes with a disclaimer'. I can see where it can be seen as an escalation in incivility. I will stand down.70.4.248.49 (talk) 02:25, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

There's a note to contact you if I don't understand the reasons my page (Jack Taylor Financial News Anchor) is marked for deletion.
I'm at the end of what I can think of. I've put in all the references I can think of. I've looked at all the other entries on the WGN page for the articles about the other broadcast personalities and I don't see what I'm doing/not doing differently that any of the other pages.
I honestly can't think of what I could do to point out this guy's notability. (And I especially don't see what I'm missing that other articles have.) He's a pioneer and shaper of TV, at least in Chicago. Asking why Taylor is notable is like asking why Thomas Edison is notable.
I have no connection to Taylor, I have absolutely no axe to grind. I just thought his absence among the WGN personalities was conspicuous as Taylor is still on the air whereas most of the others listed are not only off the air, but dead!
Umm, you must have gotten the wrong IP or something because you warned me about editing the "Castle in the Sky" page when I didn't even touch that page, let alone edit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.13.105.130 (talk) 01:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think you should read WP:MUSIC. Or if you've already read it, perhaps you should re-read it, because there is a list of notability criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia, and Lucas Biespiel doesn't meet any of them. Sorry. Dlabtot (talk) 06:32, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
