Speedy deletion of Texas Roller Derby

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Texas Roller Derby 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 club, 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 indicate 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 guidelines for people and for organizations.

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.

The article was deleted via the proposed deletion channel, which allows anybody to contest it immediately. Since you've done so, I've restored the article. east.718 at 19:10, December 19, 2007

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Houston Astros. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. If you believe something about an article that is as significant as the data you deleted should be moved or made into it's own article, that is something you should discuss in the discussion page before deleting the content, or help to contribute to the wiki by making it yourself. However just deleting content could be seen as vandalism and could get you blocked from editing, which would be bad!!! AnnaJGrant (talk) 16:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Agree with Anna. Please discuss this on the talk page --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 16:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re; Astros

edit

Hi. First off thank you for updating it. It does need a lot of updating. Like I said on the talk page, I would create the pages first, add the content to the pages, and then delete the content on the main article. Rather then doing a huge chunk of stuff at one moment, do it one by one. Also it is appropriate to do a year by year paragraph summary for the last two or three years.Let me know if you have any questions. --PatrickFlaherty (talk) 17:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Houston Astros has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.  – iridescent 17:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Houston Astros

edit

Hey Mickey, good edits on the intro. A few things though:

  • Signatures don't work in edit summaries
  • Be careful of overlinking. Major League Baseball was linked about 3 times in that one intro. Also, try to only link dates that are relevant to the information. For example, linking the MLB season 2000 when the Astros first opened Minute Maid Park is not necessarily relevant. However, linking 1962 to the season article would be more relevant because that was a big year for the Astros organization and for Major League Baseball.
  • Try to keep the point of view neutral, for which I think you did a good job of.
  • Lastly, if you have any questions or need any help, just let me know and keep up the good work. --Almosthonest06 (talk) 20:12, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I see what you did. Did you mean to put the different ref and the AstrosDaily article? Because I looked up the title name and found this link. I'll go ahead and add the one I found because it is still in there and I don't like to use the same article too many times if I don't have to. If you use the AstrosDaily article again, just type <ref name=AstrosDaily/>. If you would like to tag a ref name on another article, simply type <ref name=Whatever name you want>{{cite web|....}}</ref>. Go here for more information on footnotes and here on the cite web template to use when citing sources. I hope that helps and good find! --Almosthonest06 (talk) 22:31, 1 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Cool thanks! I really hope we can get this page looking good. I am searching all sorts of web pages for info!--Mickey 13:15, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

linking names

edit

I see where you are coming from, but generally, if it is already linked previously in the article then it shouldn't be linked again. It is kind of a hassle to go up and find the name but that's usually the way to go about it.--Almosthonest06 (talk) 21:42, 24 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

BP

edit

Hi, I added back the fourth paragraph at BP. Not sure why you deleted it, but the edit note about keeping it short on news was just designed to discourage additional not 'any' mention of the spill. That section has been gradually paring down as the crisis subsides, but I think it still belongs in the lead for now. Let me know if you disagree.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston

edit

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:07, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Houston Astros - "please leave changes"

edit

I do not understand what you are asking. If you are asking me to leave some other editor's changes alone, I don't know what those changes were. I did not research the history of the article's edits; I simply corrected a misspelling ('apperance') and inserted a hyphen where it was missing ("Spanish language radio"). You asked "If there are any spelling error please correct", and then you returned "appearance" to its misspelled state and removed the hyphen from "Spanish-language radio". If you don't fix these, then you should expect another editor to fix them. Your note seems to imply that you feel some ownership of the article, so please read WP:OWN.

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Houston Astros (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
added links pointing to Jose Cruz and Larry Anderson
Greater Katy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver)
added a link pointing to Taylor High School

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
