Disambiguation link notification for March 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shaw Mudge & Company, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page IFF (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of Shaw mudge award

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Shaw mudge award 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 an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. WWGB (talk) 11:22, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Shaw Mudge

I have taken a pass through your article on Shaw Mudge and made some fairly dramatic cleanup edits. The issues that I attempted to address are:

1. Citations should actually verify the facts which they cite. Peppering an article with citations that say nothing about the subject of the article does not help.
2. Information about the subject's relatives (such as his father's dogs appearing in a photo with Babe Ruth) are meaningless. They are cute stories to be told among the family, but are not the stuff of encyclopedias.
3. In general, Wikipedia is not a memorial site; material should be written in an encyclopedic tone, not in the tone of an elegy or eulogy.
4. Citations must be made to publicly available texts. Notes collected in preparation for writing an obituary are not a valid source, nor are personal reflections of the subjects friends or colleagues.

Please keep these points in mind as you continue to write at Wikipedia. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:08, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

A further note, as your more recent edits may indicate that my points have not been understood:

1. A reference to "Remarks made in Washington, D.C. to the staff and Board members of NSBU" is not valid, because neither I nor any other Wikipedia editor can access these remarks to use them to verify any contents of the article.
2. The same goes for "Shaw Mudge Voluntary Civic Activities, December 7, 1994, distributed by Shaw Mudge"

Please restrict yourself to source that are publicly available and can therefore be verified by independent editors. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:55, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Once again, I have had to remove the obituary are a citation for many facts in your article. If a fact is not stated in a reference, do not use that reference to cite that fact. If you are having trouble understanding this principle, please engage in a dicsussion (either here, on my talk page or on the article talk page).
