Speedy deletion nomination of Lord Mouse and the Kalypso Katz[edit]

A tag has been placed on Lord Mouse and the Kalypso Katz 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 band or musician, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Lovey's String Band edits[edit]

Hi

Just to let you know that you may need to check your edits once you have done them beofre saving the page.

If you click preview you can see what the page will look like if you saved it at that point.

You added a lot of carriage returns to the article, I think in trying to space the text out, but these will not show once saved

Also you added "Born, George Bailey" - you may want to add who he was and why you are mentioning him (such as "Lovey was the nickname of George Bailey who formed the band")

You need a double carriage return to make sure the paragraphs are spaced correctly.

I have done that for you so you can look and see how it was done and I have put in the newspaper as a ref for you :¬)

June 2010[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to All of your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. You must add a summary to your edits. So far every single one of your edits has failed to add a summary. Chaosdruid (talk) 15:50, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Editing[edit]

Hi

I have tried to show you how to make correct spacing. Please remember to put a DOUBLE carriage return in at the end of a paragraph so that you do not end up making two or three paragraphs into one huge one

(see Harry Belafonte#Film career , Blake Alphonso Higgs and Wilmoth_Houdini)

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.
