K-5 article lacks references

Hi, Kandy5000. I notice you wrote an article on K-5, in which you describe it as an expression meaning kindergarten, "that receives equal amounts of criticism and support in the educational industry". Can you cite authors who have written books or papers on this topic in which they either criticise or support the use of this term as an alternative to kindergarten? I ask because as a U.S. resident I've never seen the term used this way, nor does any google search turn up K-5 or K5 as a term meaning kindergarten.—GraemeMcRae^talk 16:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I have placed a tag on the article David P. Weikart, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. I did this because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person but it does not indicate how or why that person is notable. If you can indicate why David P. Weikart is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:David P. Weikart. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 05:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Deleted content

Regarding the article Bernard Spodek ; please do not repost deleted content. The chance that a reposted article suddenly meets the the standards for which the original article is considerably small. Therefore, please respect the administrator's decision. -- SoothingR^(pour) 15:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

A little more on my decision: Being an professor does not make the person notable and therefore they are subject to WP:CSD A7. If the person meets notabilitiy standards and you can write an article that show why the person is important. gren グレン 15:51, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale

I notice that you are the sole contributor to this article. I came across it because I work dead-end pages, that is, pages that have no links to other existing pages on wikipedia. The article you have written here has some issues:

1. Much of the text appears to be copy/paste from Here. You should be aware that wikipedia copyright rules apply to text as well as images
2. The article itself appears to be a series of advertising bullet points for the methodology.(which is what I suspect it is). In that sense, it is not encyclopedic, providing no context for the reader.

The subject of the article, based on Google hits, appears worthy of a wikipedia article. In order to prevent it being tagged as a copyright violation, I have blanked most of the article to allow you to rework it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MNewnham (talk • contribs) 22:17, 16 February 2006

Speedy deletion of Josue Cruz, Jr.

A tag has been placed on Josue Cruz, Jr. 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance 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 article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:ECRS Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ECRS Cover.jpg. 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:25, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

The Seventen

The article The Seventen has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did 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 indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem

Thanks for your uploads. You've indicated that the following images are being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why they meet Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page an image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Kandy5000! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons.

Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Jane Wiechel - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Lilian Katz - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
