Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Kappa Sigma Grand Conclaves

I didn't realize that the two equal sign level header would cause issues with other things. I'm glad that you caught it and in the future, I'll try to remember that.Naraht (talk) 20:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A question

Do you remember that conversation we had on IRC a while ago, about me improving on the Alden J. Blethen article? Well, I think that I finally have time to put some thought into writing it, but I have completely forgotten the entire conversation. :) If you have forgotten, I basically didn't really know where to start with writing it, and that kind of thing... So if you could dig up some halfway-decent advice, I would really appreciate it. Oh, and reply here, by the way. Hi878 (talk) 00:38, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Try making a draft copy in your userspace. If you just start writing there, you can get everything structured as you want without having to worry about the whole page at first. —fetch·comms 00:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I knew that part. :) I meant that I'm not quite sure what the frame of the article would be, I at least somewhat know what I will put in it. Hi878 (talk) 01:02, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly do you mean by the frame of the article? —fetch·comms 01:04, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, just... How it should be organized, I suppose. Sort of hard to describe. :) Or maybe I'm just afraid to write anything... Only kidding. :) Hi878 (talk) 01:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'd just start lumping together information in a draft. Like, anything about his early life goes in one paragraph, stuff about his career in another, and then when all the information is extracted, try to reformat it in the right order and then make it live. —fetch·comms 01:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Type message title here

I'm trying to make a Wikipedia page for a guy named Jeffrey Wisenbaugh. He's a TV personality and popular YouTuber. But you keep denying my submission due to "unreliable sources". Amoung the sources I've listed are Big Ten Network and State News. Both are well-known new sources. So how exactly are my sources unreliable? I mean, what kind of source do I need to get before you'll publish the page? The New York Times? It's not like I'm trying to make a page for myself, or for some unknown person. Jeffrey Wisenbaugh is well known in the internet community. Thanks.


BenjaminWoody (talk) 05:43, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally, yes, because he also does not appear notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia right now. Notability is established through the use of multiple reliable sources--and a New York Times article would be an example of that. (We never had an article on Shane Dawson until he appeared in the NYT, actually). For your sources, the first link takes me to MSU's homepage, the third doesn't seem to really mention him (and if it did, it does not constitute significant coverage. The other two are fine, but they still aren't major enough to make him notable. —fetch·comms 18:44, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a copyright problem? This is a diff between an AfC submission (declined as a copyvio of [49]) and a subsequent userspace draft: [50]. I would like you to help me compare the web site to the current draft. PleaseStand (talk) 19:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph with

The years passed, and inevitably the number of GAR members diminished. In 1926, the two remaining GAR posts merged to become the Gorman-Culver Post #13. (6) The United Spanish War veterans began using the Hall: in 1954, the John McEwen Camp No. 6 of the United Spanish War Veterans made use of the hall to celebrate their 56th anniversary. But eventually, the Spanish War Veterans, too, dwindled in number.

is too close to the site. As is the last sentence, "Veterans' Memorial Hall is maintained by the St. Louis County Historical Society and the military service veterans from the Arrowhead region." Overall, it seems OK, but the user still needs to reword some parts. —fetch·comms 19:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage renovation request

I was looking for someone I could ask to do this and you're a familiar name. (From User:Mono's talk page, I think) Anyway, I'm interested in having my userpage renovated a bit. Most of the info I want is on there, but if it could be made pretty and formatted better, I would love that! Here are my ideas so far:

  • I've been trying to play off the whole "Princess" thing in my name.
  • Matching the font on my userpage to my sig would be cool too.
  • I'm thinking a blue and green color scheme. See my sig for the general idea.
  • Some type of border to hold things together.

Now, here's the catch. I would like the same general color and design on my talk page. Could you do that? Really, none of it has to be fancy. If you don't have time right now or don't want to, no problem! PrincessofLlyr royal court 22:46, 4 June 2010 (UTC) (reply here is fine, it's on my watchlist now)[reply]

I'll see what I can muster up. Might take a bit, though. —fetch·comms 22:53, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
