[edit] G Bar
I'll go ask the admin who deleted the page to give you a further explanation on what happened. To make it short, the article in question was in violation of WP:CSD#A7. This policy allows an admin to delete the page on the spot. What was the article about?--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 00:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- The deleting admin, Eagle 101, restored the page on User:Eagle 101/G Bar. Basically, the article does not assert notability. Notability means that the topic of an article must have been the subject of published works (see Wikipedia:Notability for more information). That is why this article was deleted, along with the criterion of WP:CSD#A7.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 02:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'll have to scrutinize those pages a little further. All of those articles don't assert notability with verifiable sources (please read WP:V for more info), so they might be able to be deleted.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 02:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- All articles on Wikipedia are required to comply with all policies and all guidelines. Any article in violation of a policy or a guideline can be deleted.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 02:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BAFTA
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts wiki-article and official website show "BAFTA". The BBC writer was probably being lazy. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 13:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, the BAFTA website says "BAFTA", so I'm using that. BBC can say Bafta if they want. BAFTA says BAFTA, and that's what should be used. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 02:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] You are rude!
You need not consider my article on Paul MacLeod for deletion...it is perfectly reasonable seeing as he is referenced on the skydiggers page. As well, I take offense at you calling a good freind of mine "a nob". Whatever you think of my article on Paul, that is just unconstructive critisism!
[edit] Doctor Pk
I still think that the reason for speedly deletion is a7 and not g1. Retagging as a7. by Snowolf (talk) on 13:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism
Earlier you reported an IP vandal in this [1] edit. In future, please create a new entry, rather than simply replacing the text of previous entries, as you are preventing some vandals from being reviewed by administrators. Thanks, JCO312 20:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Little Jimmy Urine
Hi! That's a good question. In my opinion, yes, Jimmy Urine is not notable according to Wikipedia standards. Not only is he not notable according to WP:BIO, but he also violates WP:MUSIC and many other policies. Both guidelines have similar criteria, so I'll just show you how Little Jimmy Urine violates many of Wikipedia policies.
After a brief google search on "Little Jimmy Urine", you can see that the web pages already violate WP:RS, since some of those pages are interviews and reviews, sources that are biased in favor of Little Jimmy Urine, thus violating WP:NPOV. Also, a quote from WP:MUSIC states:
- "This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries except for the following: Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble."
Clearly, the Little Jimmy Urine article cannot be supported by such web sites, since the interviews involve Jimmy Urine talking about himself, giving us biased information for the article in question.
The guideline on notability requires that:
- "The person has been a primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person."
I did a broader google search on "Jimmy Urine". Do you see how only 3 web pages on "Jimmy Urine" appear? Afterwards, a search on "Mindless Self Indulgence" continues. This tells me that Jimmy Urine is only notable because of his role in Mindless Self Indulgence. If he has any notability outside of MSI, then that might warrant an article. In addition, I did a search on my school's Proquest Platinum database, and there was only 1 periodical that mentioned Jimmy Urine's name, and in passing. That's the trouble with this Wikipedia article. Sources on this guy only mention him in passing. The main subject is MSI.
Look at this version (current during the time I post this message), and you will see that the article is not backed up by sources. It could potentially be filled with WP:OR. The article does not WP:CITE any reliabe sources (RS) (or any sources for that matter).
What other policies have I forgotten??? Oh, yeah! WP:LIVING and WP:V
I'd hate to hit you with all of these policy-related information. I don't know how well accustomed you are into Wikipedia, since you are still a newbie editor (in a way, no offense!). An AfD nomination must be very strong in order to succeed. I wish you good luck on the AfD nomination you submit, and please send me a link to that discussion so I can give more input if needed. If you need any more advice, you can always stop by my talk page! Cheers!--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- (gasp!) I also found another policy you can use to get that article deleted: WP:N. As you can see, Wikipedia has many policies to keep track of. If only we can merge all of the policies into one page..--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Are you okay?
You haven't replied to my message above, and it seems like you haven't been contributing that much these days. Are you okay?--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re:hello
phew! I knew something was wrong when you suddenly left in between the process of deletion! Well, it's nice to know that you're back. Regarding the AfD on Little Jimmy Urine, I also think that the debate isn't getting any consensus. --Ed ¿Cómo estás? 22:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help
I am trying to get references to appear on Prescot School - can you help me please? Kneale 02:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- The problem is that you have to enclose references with the ref tag, e.g.,
<ref>[http://... Blah] Accessed on...</ref>. Xiner (talk, email) 02:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Liverpool twin towns
Thanks for your replies here and here. The source you provide is certainly appropriate (and should be reliable). But one thing: what you should never, ever, ever do in a million years is just copy and paste material from the source. You should at least paraphrase it! Obviously, you can't change the lists, but for sentences such as "These links have no formal constitution [...]" you should say something else.
I'll fix it (and add the in-line citation) when I have time. --RFBailey 22:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Michel Perrenoud
Hi, istappears the English language tags you put on this article have been deleted - just thought I'd let you know. Also, a previous version of this page was deleted a couple of days ago per CSD G11 (spam). My French isn't particularly good these days, but the content looks like spam again. Worth recommending for speedy deletion? Cheers Saganaki- 11:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
