Martin Anderson Article

 ?????Martin Anderson controversy reverted due to removal of external links. --Non-dropframe (talk) 22:02, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ford1206" what are you talking about.....these sites are very biased and one of them is a personnal blog from soneone...you need to get some facts about what is going on......sign anoymous... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ford1206 (talk • contribs) 22:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Response

hey there, "anoymous", While I apologize of that blog, (I admit that I was wrong on that) the other sites are acceptable in my opinion. You should go to that article's talk page to discuss it. Thanks, --Non-dropframe (talk) 22:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

"Anoymous" Rebuttal

well in my opinion they are not acceptable.. this kid was not innocent nor was he not there for being a good kid like a few of the sites represent him to be. the one site is a personal blog page from someone else, now how is that acceptable to wikipedia standards? just answer the question.....anoymous

Secondary Response

look, Ford1206 , you need to learn to spell "anonymous" before you leave posts unsigned. I understand what your opinion is and I've already conceded your point about the blog. As far as his guilt goes, it is not your place to draw conclusions in the context of an encyclopedia. Again, please discuss this on the article's Talk Page. Thanks, --Non-dropframe (talk) 19:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Anonymous Secondary Rebuttal

anonymous.......how is that.i still got my point across......anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ford1206 (talk • contribs) 21:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Third and final Response

You can stop signing "anonymous". I've known from the beginning who you are. Your 'point' failed miserably and I will no longer dignify your ignorance with a response. --Non-dropframe (talk) 21:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Final Rebuttal

it does not take a genuis to figure out who is signing anonymous......LOL..........and so big deal if the caps are on............LOL

TALK TO YOU LATER SWEETIE........ANONYMOUS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ford1206 (talk • contribs) 00:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Final Comment

And so ends the saga. Thanks for the mature final comments there, Ford1206. If any good came out of this, it's that Ford finally learned to spell "anonymous." --Non-dropframe (talk) 01:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Malika Mokkeddem Article

Would you be kind enough to explain your decision for speedy deletion of the article of an Algerian writer that has been translated into several languages? The article, which is just a stub, actually needs lots of information that other users may have, especially from researchers involved in the study of literature of North Africa or Middle East, but your action is not really helping a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctirado (talk • contribs) 23:34, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Response

Certainly. As the tag says, it is a very short article lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. There was no Stub tag. That's my reasoning. If you wish to continue editing the article, I would suggest that you add the "hangon" tag and discuss it on the article's talk page. Thank you, --Non-dropframe (talk) 23:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Hi, just a gentle request that you slow down a bit on the speedy deletion requests and to give them a bit more thought. I've just declined a few of your "no context" taggings as the context of the articles is perfectly clear from the intro paragraph. Your comment above about the lack of a stub tag justifying speedy deletion also concerns me... you could just add a stub tag! Thanks, --Canley (talk) 00:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Dan Wesson

Speedy deletion of Benutzer Diskussion:Dan Wesson

A tag has been placed on Benutzer Diskussion:Dan Wesson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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 (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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Non-dropframe (talk) 00:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Dan, regarding the above article (and the similar one you created) were you just trying to edit this page here? Leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. SGGH ^speak! 00:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Tunnel_of_love.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Tunnel_of_love.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih (talk) 03:35, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Krishan sharma

Hi- this page was a test page rather than a deliberate attempt at an article. As such, warning with one of the test templates would be better than the speedy delete template, which may have the effect of scaring off a good faith contributor. I've welcomed the user and told them about the sandbox. Thanks. J Milburn (talk) 13:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Matthew Bora

Hi, you tagged the above article as an A7 candidate, but it asserts notability right in the first line: Goldie Award-winning film director. I have removed the speedy tag. Regards, howcheng {chat} 17:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Your comments on User talk:84.68.161.193

Hi!

I saw your comments on the user's talk page about copyright. I agree, the user shouldn't have been spouting legal threats, and he shouldn't have been removing secret from Out of This World (card trick) in that manner. However (and it was a shame that the user wasn't aware of it at the time), he could have removed it under guidance on magical exposure at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Magic#Magic_Methods_and_Exposure. I have dropped a note on the user's talk page, and also removed the secret, stating the reasons why. Hopefully this will be enough to satisfy all concerned.

Hi, I notice you've reverted my edit to said page. However, as it has already been stated, we are not interested in "Deaths" and "Survivors" here. Thanks --Maurice45 (talk) 19:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

NDF Response

(Posted on Maurice45's page) The reason for my revert was simply that there was nothing about your removal on the talk page and your edit summary seemed to be rather angry. I apologize for any inconvenience, I'm sure you can understand where I;m coming from on this. --Non-dropframe (talk) 21:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing up; I apologise if I seemed angry- emotion wasn't intended --Maurice45 (talk) 11:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Venom

Hi, I don't think this is a G4 unless it was AFD'd (a previous speedy doesn't count) but it looks a G12. You may wish to amend the tag. BlueValour (talk) 23:46, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

please

can you please stop putting messages on my page. if you want to delete it. delete it then. Just so you know, I'mOnBase and you're not. 00:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: please

Here at Wikipedia, putting messages on users' talkpages is how we communicate with users and other editors. Furthermore, the Speedy Deletion message is added automatically when using TW Thanks, --Non-dropframe (talk) 00:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Response

can i deleate the messages now. Just so you know, I'mOnBase and you're not. 00:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

NDF Response

I'm afraid not. The messages are permanent though you can archive them (which I see you have already done with some past messages). The reason for this is so that other editors visiting your page can determine your skill level as an editor or for levels of warnings you've been given in the past. While I'm certain you are a well-meaning editor even the most experienced still keep their messages form long ago. Thanks, --Non-dropframe (talk) 00:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

re: South Wales Doom Scene

what does the article need to make it stay? it is a genuine scene, which i think is worthy of at least a stub. please advise. thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbroganjr (talk • contribs) 16:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

NDF Response

The notability guidelines for music can be found here: WP:BAND. I appreciate your asking. --Non-dropframe (talk) 16:26, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

re: South Wales Doom Scene

I have read through the guidelines but that is more to do with a band. I am talking about a Scene, an artistic movement or school if you will. Admittedly it's reasonably obscure but surely that's the point of Wikipedia. The two leading bands I referenced in my article have their own entries and belong to the scene of which I speak. Are there any guidelines for writing about a scene? or do you have any advice? thanks for your time.Cbroganjr (talk) 17:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

NDF Response

Unfortunately not. If we allow every edit that was made, Wikipedia would be nothing more than a bunch of vandalized pages and ads. In the future, please sign your posts with four ~'s so I know who's made an edit. Thanks, Non-dropframe (talk) 22:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

shed (physics)

It's a dumb sounding unit, but the original barn unit is itself kind of dumb sounding - refers to the "can't hit a barn door" expression about probability. Definately not a hoax. Would you mind removing the speedy tag ? Thanks MuppetLabTech (talk) 01:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Michael Scott ODonnell

Hi, I dont think this dshould be an A7. Here are some thoughts I have regarding this article. Since Anna Louise Jackson is a business reporter for Medill Reports, and it is an independant news paper, and she found this artist's work relevant for the article she was writing on the current economic times on her own reserch. I belive that it maked the musican somewhat notable.Mso music this makes this New England musican notable.ThanksMso music (talk) 17:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bisd-tv_logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bisd-tv_logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 03:57, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Wrong person

You posted a message on my talk page indicating that I had deleted a RSD tag from a page I had created. That is not the case. I added that tag, and the actual creator (who wasn't me) replaced it with a {{hangon}} tag. I posted the only comment in the discussion because the author put his explanation in the edit summary. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I can't stand uncorrected errors. Player 03 (talk) 20:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

the edits by 71.137.197.97

Please take a look on this guys edits. Most of them are unsourced changes in the articles concerning the history of Poland. He errases the data that some parts of this country was also part of it before the WWII and leaves some unsourced data that usually says "in the opinion of the polish historians" "as the polish historians name it" and so on. Please look what had he done with the article about the episcopal duchy of Warmia, which used to look | that way (it was smaller but the data was not POVish and was sourced). Now it looks like | that. Thats just pure antipolish POV. 77.253.68.65 (talk) 19:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Episcopal Duchy of Warmia

Hi Non-dropframe, just wanted to let you know that you've it seems by mistake reverted [1] the article into a 'crazier version'. Not that the other version makes more sense. If you'd like to know what's going on and help out perhaps, please check out the talk page Talk:Episcopal Duchy of Warmia and Wikipedia:Ethnic_and_cultural_conflicts_noticeboard#Bishopric_of_Ermland.2FWarmia.

Hi there. I'll make sure to put in something on the significance of Voice of the Turtle. I just started working on this ten minutes ago and was saving a version so I don't lose it. They're a unique group doing actual historical research behind their work. Of historical as well as musical interest. Thanks. Asbruckman (talk) 02:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I have added a bit more to Voice of the Turtle, and put a note on the talk page about how I think it arguably meets three of the notability criteria now. What do you think? Would it be possible to untag it? Thanks so much for your help! Asbruckman (talk) 02:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

From what I can see, your user page is intended to be encyclopedic and neutral, so I adjusted your external links section to accomodate that. Abestic28 (talk) 01:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Response

It is hard for an individual to be neutral when expressing individuality. I worded it the way I did so as to warn users that they may not like the sites I've linked to. Advanced warning so no one can say that they were offended. Thusly, I've reverted your edit. Thanks for the concern though. --Non-dropframe (talk) 01:10, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

RPG 7

Hi
Not that it matters much, but how does this article qualify as an article lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article (WP:CSD#A1)? It says what it is right in the first sentence.
Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 02:16, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Similarily, Thomas Fiss has an assertion of notability in the broadway carreer and in being a member of Varsity Fanclub, per WP:MUSIC. --Amalthea^Talk 02:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry that I'm bugging you with this now, but I looked at some of the other articles you recently tagged, and that were still blue-linked. I realize that you tag quite a number of articles, so the probability for mistakes is higher, but can I ask you to give authors at least a little time to flesh out their articles? Some that you nominated, e.g. [2] and [3] were only created a minute eariler. Since new users quite often don't use the preview button, but start with a substub to see how it goes, this can come across very bitey. Consider starting newpage patrolling articles that are a couple hours old, which is what I usually do. Also, as I mentioned above, please be very thorough with the tags that you use. This had an assertion of notability being the New Zealand Chess Champion (although parts of the article were of course very questionable), and this article is neither very short nor is it unidentifieable, so it's not an A1 (I know that Twinkle lists A1 as "little context", I have mistagged a few based on that label in the past, but the criterion is actually far more strict).
Nonetheless, thanks a lot for being on recent change patrol, and I hope you don't mind that I looked at you recent tags. :)
Keep up the good work, and Cheers, Amalthea^Talk 02:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Reply

No, I have nothing against peer review. As far as RPG 7 goes, it's a one-sentence version of Rocket-propelled grenade. The others simply have not read WP:FIRST. Maybe it comes across as 'mean' but I will admit that I have very little patience for people who refuse to read things. "That applies to everyone but me." They weren't valid stubs so they got tagged. Maybe that makes me 'bad' but... Besides, if someone besides the author disagrees with my nomination, they are more than welcome to remove the tag. I hope I don't come across as rude (one of my favorite quotes is ""Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.") I really do thank you for taking time to review my actions. --Non-dropframe (talk) 03:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
