Cliff Hangers

Hey...do you happen to remember when the incident you noted on the Cliff Hangers page occurred? I usually assume that things added here that I haven't heard of before didn't actually happen, but shomehow, you strike me as someone who wouldn't do something like this if you weren't reasonably sure it was real. -TPIRFanSteve 00:03, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I distinctly remember it happening, but it was (I believe) when I was a teenager, so it would have been in the mid-to-late 1980's sometime. It's one of the few distinct TPIR memories I have. Raider Duck 01:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll take your word for it, then.

By the way, might I invite you to golden-road.net? We have a lot of "distinct TPIR memories" in our FAQ, which I'm responsible for maintaining. -TPIRFanSteve 02:56, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

link to British

Hello, when you want to link to the article about something British, please do not link to British, as that is a disambiguation page (which nothing should be linked to). Instead link to the one of the options found on that page such as United Kingdom, Great Britain or British English by writing out [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[Great Britain|British]].

AfD Nomination: Star Trek: Of Gods and Men

An article that you have been involved in editing, Star Trek: Of Gods and Men, has been listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Star Trek: Of Gods and Men.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:AllTunes.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:AllTunes.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Tony Flynn

Made a small revert to your changes that seemed redundant but left the rest ... are you a DP historian? I'm fairly well-versed on the "New" Steppenwolf stuff, but the Deep Purple info I only know through investigating Steppenwolf. If so, I would like to compare notes...

Spam in OPPO Digital

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on OPPO Digital, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because OPPO Digital is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting OPPO Digital, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

AfD nomination of FrostWire

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is FrostWire. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FrostWire. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:15, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of OPPO Digital

A tag has been placed on OPPO Digital requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. 16x9 (talk) 18:16, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Warning #2

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Shaun Alexander, you may be blocked from editing. Dappl (talk) 05:47, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Listen to me. Shaun Alexander is not retired, he is not a former player. the "former player" format is used for retired players, which alexander is not. If what you said were true, then all free agents would be considered "former players". Please take this into consideration next time you edit a sports page. Dappl (talk) 06:06, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
