Barry Bonds

If you are going to contribute, please spell correctly. In your recent entry, the word in question is spelled 'cheetah' or sometimes, 'chetah'! But I'm happy you appreciate Bonds' baserunning and outfield playing abilities despite manifesting your own orthogaphic deficiencies! TrueC 23:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kalimba Edwards

A tag has been placed on Kalimba Edwards, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why Kalimba Edwards is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on Talk:Kalimba Edwards, explaining how Kalimba Edwards is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Diez2 23:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you could, please, expand your articles about sports stars and maybe give a short biography on them. None of your articles (that I've seen) can qualify as stubs. Please expand your articles. Good faith note.Diez2 23:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Best Friends"

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page.

Kenderick Allen

Your recent contribution(s) to to the Wikipedia article Kenderick Allen are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks! Urania3 18:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:GangstaGangstaDMDsmall.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GangstaGangstaDMDsmall.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.

Greg Olsen (Football)

A tag has been placed on Greg Olsen (Football), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. CobaltBlueTony 06:10, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. It looks as though the article was already speedily deleted, for the reason that I nominated it: "it [did] not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia." Wikipedia has criteria for people that makes them notable. You may ask the administator who deleted it, Kungfuadam, to restore it so that you can properly document your verifiable sources which must substantiate the notability by Wikipedia standards. If he agrees and you do not provide the necessary sources, or the sources you supply do not sufficiently support the subject's notability based on Wikipedia's guidelines, the article may be deleted again. All the best, and happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony 19:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Victor Abiamiri

A tag has been placed on Victor Abiamiri, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Non-notable, difficult to decifer what the content refers to

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

RE: Victor Abiamiri

If you read the deletion tag, you will see you can postpone the article's speedy deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the article, without removing the tag itself. Add it below, then add whatever you want to add, and if it's enough to make the article relevant, it will remain.

That's the point in the word 'speedy' deletion. If you don't want the tag on that quickly you should create a user sub page where you can write the article on there and then C+P it all into the article proper. ≈ The Haunted Angel ^{(The Forest Whispers My Name)} 23:44, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note - it shouldn't be copied and pasted into mainspace, it should be moved into mainspace (see button above the page (same line as article, talk etc) RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:49, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jamaal Anderson and Greg Olsen

Bucs10 said: Can you please stop protecting the article on Jamaal Anderson and Greg Olsen (Football).

The articles on Anderson and Olsen have been deleted repeatedly, and I have permanently protected these on the advice of others. Before I unprotect these pages, please give me some external source to prove that articles are writable beyond those which have been already deleted.

Just to be on the safe side, y'know. Bobo . 02:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bucs10 said: I dont understand what you trying to say, about getting another external source

What I meant was to just quote another source on the Internet somewhere in the External links, which agrees with what you have written in the article. That said, I would wait at least until April at least, when the draft takes place, as he moves from being "just another prospect among hundreds" to actually making a dent in the league. Bobo . 03:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bucs10 said: Is this good enough it says:Olsen is widely regarded as one of the top tight end prospects in the draft. Heres the link.

Cool. That looks pretty sturdy, but I think we'd rather wait until the draft actually takes place before the article is brought to Wikipedia again. Thank you for supplying the link and I'll make good use of it once the time is right to do so - That is, when the draft has taken place.

I'll contact User:Ryanpostlethwaite and see what he thinks about this, since he has reviewed the article in the past. Bobo . 03:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bucs10 said: I just have one more question will it be the exact article that i created, or will i have to create it again.

Since the entire history of the article will be available if it is unprotected and restored, so long as the article is restored, the original revision of the article will be visible and restorable anyway in the history. There is nothing stopping you from deciding to include the first version, the second version, or the third version as you feel is appropriate. Bobo . 03:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion the articles should stand. At first I tagged one for deletion (think it was Greg Olsen) but when I did a bit of research into them, they did seam notable enough to meet WP:BIO, there seams to be quite a few reliable sources out there for them and maybe these should be sourced better into the articles. I do agree, it might be better to make a draft in userspace, then move it over to mainspace wants to shows it meets WP:BIO RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 08:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

College football players stubs

Editing Recent Players Info

Bucs10 said: On Your edits of nfl players who have been released you are putting that they played for a team until 2007 but really they didnt play for the team in 2007. For example with the Eric Moulds you put he played for the Texans from 2006-2007 but he only played one season for the Texans and that was 2006.

No problem, I will do that from now on. I thought it was until 2007 because they were released in 2007.

Dolphins player pages

Please leave the font color in the charts white on the Dolphins' player pages. Many people find the orange on aqua difficult to read. They don't go well together.Chris Nelson 03:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I never found it distracting. But I've seen quite a few people change it on pages citing that as the reason, and while my eyesight is fine I see what they mean. The contrast of the aqua and orange is kind of blurry, to anyone. Not so much that you can't read it, just a little annoying for some. So I think it should be changed.Chris Nelson 23:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Players

The only reason I do is because the light red on pewter is very difficult to read. And since orange is technically a Buc color, I thought that maybe it would fly better. I tested it, and it MUCH easier to read. Sorry if it caused any controversy. Crazy Canadian 11:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So is the Bills colors. I find it annoying that you revert my edits to make the names easier to read AND in keeping with team colors. Crazy Canadian 02:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, sorry, but I saw the Peerless Price page had the different colors. Anyway, please don't change them, I'm not changing all of them, but I am changing ones that are difficult to read. Crazy Canadian 12:24, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the fictional character Jackie Harris, from the TV show Roseanne. If there is a football player by the same name, please create another page. Thank you. Ckessler 18:50, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kenny Rogers

Hello! Your recent move of this article to Kenny Rogers (country singer) and creation of a disambiguation page were improper. When two subjects share the same name, we add parenthetical disambiguation to the title of one article (ideally the one less likely to be searched for) and link to it from the other. We do not create a disambiguation page, as this merely ensures that no one visiting that title will immediately find the article that he/she seeks. By placing one of the two subjects at the main title, some of the page's visitors will find the intended article. Those seeking the other article, meanwhile, need only follow a single link (just as they would if they reached a disambiguation page instead).
In this case, the singer is more famous than the baseball player, so his article is located at Kenny Rogers. If another notable Kenny Rogers emerges, we might consider having a disambiguation page there, but it's more likely that such a page would exist at Kenny Rogers (disambiguation) (where your unused disambiguation page currently resides). With your consent, I'll delete that mistakenly created page. —David Levy 03:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do I have your consent? —David Levy 17:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning stubs and user:chrisjnelson

Hi there,

First, I would like to thank you for creating so many football stubs for recently drafted players today. One suggestion: when you create a short article, include a stub for easier sorting of the articles that need work? For example, if the article is concerning a linebacker, use Linebacker-stub etc. Also, concerning the discussion above this on your talk page, I warned user:chrisjnelson that he needs to be more civil and assume good faith in all edits. The same can be said for you. If someone is being obnoxious and uncivil like that, report him to an administrator but dont keep going with it. Thanks--Thomas.macmillan 01:49, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can just redirect your old user name to your current one, if I understand what you are asking. --Thomas.macmillan 02:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jonathan Goff

The article Jonathan Goff has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies.

Hello, Yankees10. It appears that you copied and pasted Calvin Johnson (football player) to Calvin Johnson.

Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.
