Offensive userpage material
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia!
I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your user subpage at User:Nagasheus, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. After you look over that guideline, could we discuss that concern here? I'd appreciate hearing your views, such as your reasons for wanting this particular page and any alternatives you might accept.
There are several options available for resolving this matter:
- If you can relieve my concerns through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
- If you decide to delete the page yourself, please add
{{Db-userreq}}
to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it. - If the two of us can't agree on what needs to be done, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's user pages for discussion, which may result in the page in question being deleted.
I am kindly asking you to remove the statement regarding Jamaicans and Nazis. Most of us very much hate the Nazis and what they did, but as Wikipedians, we must show respect and civility towards all, regardless of who they may be. It is also official Wikipedia policy to not include material that can be offensive towards other groups of people of other users. Please read WP:CIVIL#User pages for information regarding this. Thank you. MuZemike (talk) 18:35, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
- Done. It was my mistake of placing offensive statements. Neutrality (without irony or sarcasm) is a main requirement for writing an encylopedia. Thank you for warning, cos I'm a bit new to EnWiki (= —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagasheus (talk • contribs) 20:56, 16 August 2008
- No problem. Also, don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~) at the end so we know who made the comment. If you have any other questions, let me know. MuZemike (talk) 16:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
This article has some issues that I want go briefly go over:
- Wikipedia is not a directory; adding personal information like private email addresses are considered inappropriate here. You may want to remove that.
- Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. You must be able to establish notability for this living person via secondary sources. You can look at the WP:V policy, the other link I just made; and WP:VG/S may also be helpful in finding sites which may provide some good secondary sources for this person.
- Look at other articles about living persons on WP to give you examples of how to properly write such an article. (That's how I got started editing and improving substandard video game articles.)
That's just a couple of suggestions for now. MuZemike (talk) 16:47, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Phew! There is a lack of info about Dave Pottinger, I see. However I thought he is a solemn programmer; there were redlinks from Age Of Empires-related articles to him, and there are several interviews with him on the Net. But this article will certainly be a stub for years. Is it ok? Again, thank you for notice Nagasheus (talk) 17:59, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- See the article's talk page for some more references that you may want to include in the article. Also a reminder to use inline citations per the guidelines at WP:CITE. Just adding them to external links does not help any. MuZemike (talk) 19:44, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Wikiproject Reggae
editПревед, учаснег Nagasheus! Я поддержал ваше предложение, и с удовольствием приму участие в проекте. А что значит ваш юзернэйм? EAE (Holla!) 03:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello from Nuttyskin
editHi Nagasheus. I don't have any advice, except this: read about music, and listen to as much Ska and Reggae as you can, but don't be afraid to say what is good and what is not good, in your opinion. A knowledgeable fan is better than ten experts.
This advice also applies to skinhead: dance the music, wear the clothes, be smart and look hard - but think with your brain and not your boots :) Don't take yourself or others too seriously. You're supposed to have fun.
And in all things, always: be tolerant, be helpful, be yourself.
Good luck & the very best of fun

Unreferenced BLPs
editHello Nagasheus! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 725 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Dave Pottinger - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
