[edit] The Get Up Kids edit
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I didn't make the edit you are refering to. I think the confusion was caused by a comment I made on the discussion page for TGUK. The guy who made the edit did not sign his comment, which I responded to, and it looks like it's all one statement. I think you've done great work on the page, as well as Blackpool Lights. I'm actually from Kansas City and I think it's great that these pages are getting some attention. Keep up the good work.Natt the Hatt (talk) 15:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
No problem on the mix up, it happens. Thanks for your kind words. I've expanded the story section for Broken Bride. If you get a chance, take a look and let me know what you think. Hopefully we can work together on some other projects.Natt the Hatt (talk) 02:07, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Broken Bride
Sorry, I didn't realalize that you had trimed a previous story section here. I reverted my edit, but I'm wondering if there is a more appropriate place to put a more in-detail storyline.Natt the Hatt (talk) 02:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunatly, Ludo has never given definite answers.Natt the Hatt (talk) 05:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Notability of Team Fremont Live
A tag has been placed on Team Fremont Live requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornixtalk 21:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- My first concern is that we don't even have an article on Team Fremont, so a podcast about them pretty much fails notability right there. Then there are so many self-published sources, and nothing that seems to meet WP:RS. Plus it's really hard to prove notability of a podcast, they're generally a dime a dozen. Corvus cornixtalk 21:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

- What I meant by my last comment is that the vast majority of podcasts are not notable, even if the subject is. I'm still not seeing reliable sources. Corvus cornixtalk 21:36, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
I'll be honest that I never heard of those sites before, but is there some way to verify that they're notable? Do notable sites use them as references? Corvus cornixtalk 21:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I know that Gawker isn't a reliable site. Corvus cornixtalk 21:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, I've given my reasoning. We'll let an admin decide if the article should stay or not. Corvus cornixtalk 22:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Read the criteria for Template:db-web. Corvus cornixtalk 23:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Team Fremont Live
An article that you have been involved in editing, Team Fremont Live, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Team Fremont Live. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
- Since an editor with no other edits decided to remove the speedy deletion tag, I decided to take another look at this article and the associated references. Even if the sites you claim are reliable sources, the links to those sites are themselves are little more than "boy, that's a cool podcast" sorts of things, and links to videos. No discussion about the site. Corvus cornixtalk 18:20, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. I never heard of this podcast until yesterday. Provide reliable sources, and this will all be fine. Corvus cornixtalk 22:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Where did I ever say "I never heard of it"? How many times do I have to ask for reliable sources? Take this to the AfD page, I'm through discussing this with you, since you are not interested in discussing this civilly. Corvus cornixtalk 22:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you
I appreciate your comments. Corvus cornixtalk 20:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mariusz Wlazly
Hey. I removed the speedy tag from Mariusz Wlazly. Being on a national team is a claim of notability. If you disagree, then go ahead and nominate it for AfD. Corvus cornixtalk 23:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree, it needs better sourcing. I had passed by the article and thought about it, but thought that the national team membership was enough to let it pass. Putting an unsourced tag on the article wouldn't hurt, though. Corvus cornixtalk 23:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Signature
It doesn't sound stupid at all. You could view the wiki markup article for information on wiki formatging and other things.
- First, go to your preferences, and where it says "signature", that is where you can insert your signature. Make sure the box is checked.
- Another way, you could look at my sig. ('''''[[User:Willisis2|<span style="color: #F88017;">Ŵïllî§ï$2</span>]]''''' (<sup>'''''[[User talk:Willisis2|<font color="green">Talk!</font>]]'''''</sup>/<sub>'''''[[Special:Contributions/Willisis2|<font color="maroon"><b>Cont.</b></font>]]'''''</sub>)), and other signatures four fonts, styles, and colors.
Have fun editing on Wikipedia! --Ŵïllî§ï$2 (Talk!/Cont.) 00:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Could I see what you've come up with? --Ŵïllî§ï$2 (Talk!/Cont.) 01:21, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- I found your error. You never put in a </b> after one of the <b>s. Here is your new sig: [[User:Rwiggum|<span style="color: #4B5320;">Rwiggum</span>]] (<sup>[[User talk:Rwiggum|<font color="Black"><b>Talk</b></font>]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Rwiggum|<font color="Black"><b>Contrib</b></font>]]</sub>) --Rwiggum (Talk/Contrib) 01:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Blair
Hi Rwiggum, I've JUST started the entry on Mr Blair. His achievements in aviation are quite impressiveFoofbun (talk) 04:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Shorty (song)
I have nominated Shorty (song), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shorty (song). 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? AniMate 22:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Since the song never charted, and was self-released, it might be better to make it a one-paragraph section of the band's article. Corvus cornixtalk 23:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] RX (film)
Thanks for the information I reverted my tagging. To move a page to a new name you can use the move tab at the top of the page, this automatically creates a redirect from the original location. Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 20:29, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Cashbox
I wondered by curiosity why the 1981 number-one hits from Cashbox magazine have to be deleted? Is there some incorrect data than I need to re-check? I think it could be a interesting idea to post a list of #1 hits from Cashbox magazine on Wikipedia to compare them with the ones from Billboard magazine? --Sd-100 (talk) 21:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo
I've declined your {{db-bio}} request on Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo. There is no earthly way this was a candidate for speedy deletion, as at the time of your nomination it not only contained multiple assertions of notability, but had two legitimate references to back the assertions up. If you haven't already, please make sure you familiarise yourself with the speedy deletion criteria; this kind of nomination is very disruptive, as it not only wastes the time of the admins who have to deal with it, but potentially drives the editor off the project. CSD should only be used in a very limited circumstances, and not because you don't like an article; if you feel an article like this is inappropriate, use AFD instead.
In this case, your tagging was particularly inappropriate, as you nominated it for deletion eight minutes after the article was created, when the author was likely to still be working on it; except in the case of blatant vandalism or attack pages, please give the editors a chance! — iridescent 22:53, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- Those two "Dubious looking websites" (to quote your post on my talk page) are one of Nigeria's leading newspapers and a major news website. Please stop being disruptive. — iridescent 22:57, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

- Stop wasting my time with this. From his bio before he died:
- "He is the Grand Patron of Nigerian Muslim Council; Chairman, Executive Council of the Lagos Central Mosque; Honorary Fellow, Chartered Institute of Transport; Fellow, Commonwealth Journalists Association; Chairman, Maize Association of Nigeria, and Patron, Institute of Freight Forwarders of Nigeria. He was also honoured with the key to DADE County, Florida, in the United States of America. He is the proud recipient of the national honour of Order of Federal Republic, OFR, conferred on him in 1982, as well as, Commander of the Order of the Niger, CON, on November 16, 2000.
The University of Lagos also conferred on him - the Millennium Award of Doctor of Science. He was appointed CHANCELLOR, Lagos State University on 17th April, 1999. He is the Patron of the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce."

- I got that within 10 seconds on Google. Regardless of that, there is no way you should ever be CSDing articles eight minutes after creation. Did you actually read those newspaper articles referenced? — iridescent 23:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PMPRB
I took your comments to heart, friend. But, I think there's still need for a good article on the PMPRB. Could you make some substantive edits? You seem to be of sound mind and reasoning, so I think we'd all benefit from your insights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlphaFactor (talk • contribs) 23:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo afd closing
Hi, this page might help you out if you are wondering how to close the discussion WP:NADC. Cheers, Nk.sheridan Talk 19:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- I usually just put closed in double brackets and someone else comes along and cleans up for me, but, you appear to have done it properly. --Blechnic (talk) 02:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
