User talk:Thmazing/Archive 2012.04.30

Fresh start

On October 14, 2008 I cleared this page. The topics then listed were as follows:

• 1 Welcome!
• 2 Book of Zechariah
• 3 DYK
• 4 Speedy deletion of Segullah
• 5 Re: Deleted Article
• 6 Test
• 7 Opening salvo
• 8 Val Chadwick Bagley
• 9 July 2008
• 10 AfD nomination of Val Chadwick Bagley
• 11 Personal attacks

Anyone who would like to renew any of those topics is welcome too, but they all seemed pretty dead to me.

And hey! Thanks for stopping by! Please feel free to start up any new topic you like.

You could create an archive talk page if you like! See WP:ARCHIVE or my own for an example. - Fayenatic (talk) 12:20, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Deletion disaster

Hi. You must be here because I screwed up the deletion process. Right you are. I've never done it before and I did not do it perfectly. Please feel obliged to link me to all the things I should have read first.

Thanks! Thmazing (talk) 17:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Thankyou

Thankyou for your message. It is nice that some people appreciate my edits.Johnpacklambert (talk) 19:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Side Note

I noticed that Val Chadwick Bagley had been on your old talk page. I then went and looked up the article on him, and found it has been deleated four times. That has to be close to a record of number of times an article has been deleated. I am going to go make an article on him at mormonwiki.com. It is still small, but at least my work there does not get deleted like it sometimes does here on wikipedia.Johnpacklambert (talk) 19:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it got deleted in the first place because I made a major screwup in an edit and that brought attention to it. C'est la vie. Thmazing (talk) 20:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

County templates

Thanks for the note :-) I don't know why, but for the last few weeks it's seems that whenever I (1) look at a page, (2) modify a template on that page, and (3) look at the page again, it always looks as if I'd not done anything to the template. You're not doing anything wrong; it's something with the server. Sorry I can't help you with the coding; if you want to find out more, you could put a note at the technical Village Pump, as others might have a better idea that I do.

Articles for deletion nomination of Kerry Blair

I have nominated Kerry Blair, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kerry Blair. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. DreamGuy (talk) 03:47, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Whitney Awards

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Whitney Awards. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whitney Awards. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

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 941 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Thmazing

I know you. I've recently created this account so I can integrate Linescratchers information into Wikipedia. Since Linescratchers has a few good direct quotes from artists. I'm not 100% sure how to do everything right so maybe I can ask for your help now and then? Syphax1 (talk) 14:29, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

• This permission does not give you any special status or authority
• Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
• You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page

Speedy deletion nomination of Brad Teare

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

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

A tag has been placed on Brad Teare requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it 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.

If you can assert the notability of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. — 71.166.154.41 (talk) 00:27, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Brad Teare

The article Brad Teare has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Speedy deletion of the article has been declined; please address the lack of sources/references. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:34, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Healthy kids

A tag has been placed on Healthy kids, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
