Samuele de Gaunt

Hello! I really thank you for the hard work of reverting all the vandalism done in several pages by those loonies around Samuele de Gaunt. I really don't know what is that thing all about, but it must be carried out by some guys without nothing better to do, but I have to admit that they have some creativity... Keep your good work! (sorry for any spelling mistakes) - Afonso Silva 22:05, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I second Afonso Silva's comments. Keep up the good work; I'll try to revert any vandalism to the vfd page if I see it too. --Whimemsz 17:24, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

Concerning the vandalism reverts: No problem. --Whimemsz 02:25, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Paul Bouche; it's a recreation of a vanity article, so I wouldn't waste too much of your time with it. Dunc|☺ 15:34, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"Lord Seal"

I'm sure you meant well, but take a look here! -- Hoary 11:54, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

I believe in innocent until proven guilty. Even if it does turn out to be vanity, it should still get the full and proper treatment (e.g. redirects, etc.) until it's finally deleted. P Ingerson 12:02, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Well said. Still, I thought you might be interested in a closer look at "Lord Seal" (whose notability in Spilsby has escaped the notice of Google), his chum "Lord Hudson", and the Order of Sir John Franklin. -- Hoary 13:09, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

Alexander McNair

Hi - for future reference, there's a note at the top of the hist-stub category saying "Please don't put biographies in here". I've changed the stub template that you put on Alexander McNair to {{US-politician-stub}} :) Grutness|^hello? 01:39, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oops. Sorry. I do get confused about different stub categories.

'Salright - there are so many of them now it's easy to lose track.

I normally follow Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs which isn't very helpful.

Try Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. It's probably a more comprehensive list, and a lot easier to read (and load!) Grutness|^hello? 09:45, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the reversion on my user and talk pages. Gee, I hope nobody saw that and thought that I do those terrible things. – Clockwork Soul 19:48, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Just wanted to add a thank you from me for sorting out the categories for some TV shows for me. I didn't know that I could change them so that they listed under their name and not the "The" which precedes them. Thanks once again - I do apologise for categorising a few which needed such a change. HowardBerry 30 June 2005 19:56 (UTC)

Abbreviations

Hi, regarding your {{db}} tag on Scinteia, "NPOV" stands for "Neutral Point of View", and so "It is hopelessly NPOV" is not in common use on Wikipedia. "Hopelessly POV" however... Sjakkalle 12:32, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

italics -v- double quotes

Hi. Sorry to be a pedant, but please use double quotes not italics to denote a story within a series, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style. And please don't edit existing articles to replace the double quotes with italics. (eg. [1]) Thanks. — P Ingerson (talk) 10:11, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was applying the style guide used at Wikipedia: WikiProject Doctor Who when I changed that. I accept that is not standard so I will confine such edits to Doctor Who specific articles in future. Please revert that change if you haven't already. --TimPope 11:06, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Sorry about that, but naming conventions in Doctor Who have rather interesting historical reasons. I will do the same as TimPope and confine any such edits to Doctor Who-specific articles. I am reverting your changes to those articles but not the others. --khaosworks 13:29, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Jugge

I don't think the show he's on is a contest, I think it's more a documentary show about Swedish people who live in Goa. At least, from what I gathered from that link I posted. Rick K 23:15, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Ugh. Well, I have to admit I didn't read the whole thing very extensively ... :) If there were an article about Club Goa, we could merge this, but since we don't he isn't that notable. Rick K 23:27, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

You'll find that it is the highest ranking person in a U.S. high school graduating class. It comes from the tradition in the US for such person to give a speech to his/her classmates at the graduation ceremony. (from the latin for "worthy speech")--eleuthero 29 June 2005 05:29 (UTC)

Roy Harper singles

Yes the page is short, but instead of deleting it can you help me fix it? i.e. get the Harper singles listed on it, as on the Roy Harper Album page? Admittedly, there are only two singles so far that I have written reviews for, but there are many more to be written up. Harper is a musician with a 40 year output and there's a lot of work to do...can you help? Stephenjh

You don't need to know anything about Roy Harper in order to make my links work. I figured if you had the ability to delete, you might have the knowledge to help that's all. Stephenjh

So, basically you think my page is too short and suitable for deletion, but you cannot help me add information to it in order to make it function like the Category:Roy Harper albums page? Stephenjh

You don't have to know anything about Harper to help. At the bottom of Roy Harpers album pages is a category, "Roy Harper albums" if you click that it takes you to another page, an alphebetised list of his output (at least the albums that have been reviewed here). I am trying to create a similar page for his single output, by creating that category and page and I thought you might have the knowledge. Stephenjh

That's it! Thanks for your help...hopefully the page will grow in time [2] Stephenjh

Cochise...

At present, I am working on changing that. There is nothing on the Wikipedia Cochise County regarding the City of Cochise. Therefore this is my reasoning for using the Ghost Site page. After reading the links you suggested, there is nothing that outlines how I can address this very dilemma. Other than suggesting it may not be wise to not use an outside link.

As I am editing I will address the issue, but I most certainly appreciate your help!! Angelbby1 17:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)Angelbby1[reply]

Dont Bite

Hey! Just a quickj reminder, try not to BITE the newcomers. The article on Cochise, AZ was added in good faith. This user is makind a serious effort to go about things in the right way. I feel they may be becoming discouraged due to all of the warnings. Cochise, arizona is a real place, and has some historical value! Feel free to drop User talk:Angelbby1 a like and offer to help them! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its ok! No problem. I just seem to remeber when I first started, everybody was jumping at me. I had best of intentions but after you have been here a while it just becomes a routine. there is so much bad faith, especuially on new page patrol and anti vandalism patrol that it becomes second nature to slap thet csd tag on there. (trust me, ive done my share of it too). Thanks for the great work. It is much appreciated. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:33, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added information and references on the city of Cochise, Arizona. (i also moved it from its originial names Cochise, AZ. Do you have any objections to my removals of the peedy tag? If you do, that is no problem at all and i respect that and i will leave it up for admin decision. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being so CIVIL about that! I gave you a shiny new barnstar. If you dont want it, you are welcome to delete it and I will not be offended. Thanks for the good job you do, it is much aprpeciated. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 17:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No No No....do not apologize!! It is people like you who make this site an awesome resource!!

Thanks Again for your help! =)

Shakespeare Authorship Source

For starters, here is a source for much of the information you seek - It's called "Shakespeare and his Rivals: A Casebook on the Authorship Controversy" by George McMichael and Edgar M. Glenn, a pair of college professors. It is copyright 1962, and published by The Odyssey Press, in NY. lib of congess card #62-11942. It is strictly informative, providing source documents, contemp. reference, first signs of doubt, etc. It makes it clear on the first page that "most academic scholars aceept that Shakespeare was Shakespeare", and in presenting each theory, pretty much dismisses them - although without all the anger and name-calling and wild theories that Kathman advances. I do agree that better sources would be the best compromise and appreciate P Ingerson for a civility that is often lacking on this page.Smatprt 07:36, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another: The Authorship of Shakespeare. James G. McManaway. Publisher: Folger Shakespeare Library. Cornell University Pres, Ithaca, NY. 1962.

Regarding Kathman - he is not a professional scholar - he is a mutual fund analyst. He has done some decent research on apprentices and boy acting companies but has also advanced a number of unsupported theories about the authorship. He has contributed ONE essay to a collection by Wells - and it contains at least one whopping error. This does not an expert make. However, because its in the Wells book, Wiki rules seem to say that that ONE essay can be quoted. However, his personal website, more of a blog, is full of ridiculous assertions that have no support among mainstream scholars (who dare not make such claims for fear of ridicule). Kathman's website cites very few references and is chock full of OR. His website is also so mean-spirited that I am surprised that anyone who cares about Wikipedia would want it linked. It drags down Wikipedia in general and this article in particular.Smatprt 07:36, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Delgado and Brett.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Delgado and Brett.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Clay as Lancelot.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Clay as Lancelot.JPG. 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Delgado and Brett.JPG

Thank you for uploading Image:Delgado and Brett.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Chloe Ashcroft

The article Chloe Ashcroft has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. 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/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. –Davey2010^Talk 21:45, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
