Hi Daveythefatboy, since you seem to be new to Wikipedia I just wanted to let you know why I removed the "Internal link" section and link from the Stuff Smith article. In this case, I think that referencing a song that Smith recorded doesn't really provide notable biographical info about Smith in keeping with the rest of the article (unless, for example, he won some award with it or it was associated with him in an important way - in which case that should be noted). Furthermore, I've never seen a section of "internal links" before, though "See also" sections are sometimes appropriate for articles that are highly related.

For future reference, what you refer to as "internal links" are usually called "wikilinks" and don't need the http://en.wikipedia.org part. Simply surrounding an article title with double brackets is sufficient. RosinDebow 14:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Please don't delete this. It's work in process and I plan on getting all of the details in place. It may take a couple of weeks, since I'll be out of town soon. Thank you. Daveythefatboy (talk) 12:36, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Handsome Dick Manitoba Born in the Bronx.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Handsome Dick Manitoba Born in the Bronx.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:17, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

How do I get Born in the Bronx out of the draft stage? The photo has been removed and I'm working on getting the page updated. Daveythefatboy (talk) 16:22, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Carol Duke

Hello Daveythefatboy,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Carol Duke for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
