delinking edit
Yeah, the script needs to include more words, although there's always a risk that it will delink a word that in a certain context is worth linking: people complain, then. It's a delicate balance between minimising false positives and false negatives. I've manually delinked a few ricidulous ones in Dahl, and more could be done, too. We do expect that the readers can speak English reasonably well. Tony (talk) 12:35, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of People from Lake Zurich, Illinois edit
A tag has been placed on People from Lake Zurich, Illinois requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Proposed deletion of Richard Whitney (author) edit
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Richard Whitney (author), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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.

re: edits to Niles West High School edit
Greetings there DAW!
I recently reverted some edits that you made to this article, and rather than just being a drive by deletion, I wanted to explain my reasoning.
The references that you added for several of the alumni were problematic. In a school article, there is not a necessity to confirm that the person existed or that they actually accomplished their "claim to fame" as this would appear in that person's WP article. What is important in the reference in the school article is that the reference confirm that the person attended the school.
A few of the alumni were red links, and did not meet wikipedia's standard for notability, and I deleted them. The others, I restored the fact tags. I do hope that sources confirming their alumniship can be found, and wish you the best of luck in your editing! LonelyBeacon (talk) 20:46, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mark Hollmann edit
A tag has been placed on Mark Hollmann requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
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. RadioFan (talk) 17:18, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Re: Gary Airport edit
MetJet is very humorous. Have you read the website? It seems like it is run by a teenager who wrote the entire website. Nothing searched from Google claims any legitimate financial or administrative background for an airline that wants to simply provide point-to-point service, and claims that it can gain service simply by eliminating delays (which really aren't caused by the airline for the majority of delays.) MetJet will never fly, unless someone else with tons of cash buys the website and the name. Just saying, I think it was put there as a joke or something. If MetJet can secure some legal foundation and some financing, We can put it up there as a prospect for flying to Gary. In all honesty, though, I do hope that Gary Airport gets some good service. O'Hare is a quagmire. WaltBren (talk) 16:39, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, DAW,
I really appreciate your contributions to some of the Chicago architecture articles that I've worked on. I was looking at your contribs and noticed that you've edited some Barbershop articles. I sing with New Tradition in Northbrook. Are you an active barbershopper? Ibadibam (talk) 04:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
