attributing contributions

Hi OregonD00d,

It looks like you are enthusiastically contributing to Wikipedia and we all thank you for that. Alas, some of your contributions have been reverted. For example, this edit you attribute to Google maps—which is commendable—but there is no obvious way for someone to check the fact given. Please spend like 15 or 20 minutes reviewing the Pillars of Wikipedia, particularly reliable sources and verifiable facts. If you have any questions, ask here. Thanks, —EncMstr (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of McDonald State Forest

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article McDonald State Forest, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Blidworth Woods

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Blidworth Woods, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/wildwoods.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/EnglandNottinghamshireNoForestBlidworthWoods. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Speedy deletion of Mimzy (singer)

A tag has been placed on Mimzy (singer) 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 a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Pip (talk) 14:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-fashion and tag removal

Hello. Please stop removing the tags I placed at the top of the article you wrote, Anti-fashion. They are appropriate and shouldn't be removed until the issues cited have been fixed. As of this moment, you have four references, three of which don't mention the term the article is about, and one which uses the term generically with no indication that it has common use as the name of the movement or trend that the article describes. Further, the details you mention appear to be thrown together, and without outside evidence it looks like you are using the term "anti-fashion" yourself to describe a trend that you are synthesizing from these details.—Largo Plazo (talk) 14:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

October 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Anti-fashion. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. لenna vecia 14:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adhering to Etiquette

I can see that you're becoming an active member of the Wikipedia community, and I welcome you. I want to draw your attention to a situation over at 2000–2009, where you reverted my edit. My edit, which was also a revert, included an edit summary explaining my reversion. This is always a good practice when reverting another editor's work, as it demonstrates that you are not just dismissing their efforts out of hand. Your revert of my edit contained no such explanation, and as you were reverting an edit for which a rationale was provided, it would be courteous of you to leave an explanation as well.

Beyond that, my edit reflected a consensus that has existed on this article for nearly two years. There are reasons, which can be found at extraordinary length in the archives of the article, that the consensus of the editors has been to not create multiple sections within the 2000–2009 article at this time. Before reverting again, I encourage you to read the many months of discussion which preceeded the formatting of the article in its present form.

You have done nothing wrong; we are encouraged to take bold steps in writing this project. But in being bold, we must also recognize that sometimes others will not agree with our edits, and we must give due consideration to their feelings on the matter. This only works because of consensus.

I wish you the best, and look forward to seeing more of your contributions. Cheers. Unschool (talk) 08:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was going to revert you, but after writing this I went back to the page and found that another editor had already done so. Note that he left an edit summary explaining his actions. You appear to use edit summaries only about 10% of the time; if you use them more often it will help you work with other editors. G'day! Unschool (talk) 08:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "Eras of rock"

A page you created, Eras of rock, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. --RedHillian | Talk 22:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Eras of rock.

Rock music and related articles - a supportive comment

Just a comment, because I hope that you're not discouraged from editing by all the comments above. Unlike, say, forests in Oregon, which is a topic which probably doesn't have that many active editors, an article like Rock music probably has thousands of editors who would all like to change and improve it so that it's closer to their own views. That makes it even more important than usual, in my view, that changes which have the potential to be contentious are discussed on the article talk page, so that a more robust and well referenced article can be developed through consensus. Looking through the comments above, I can see I'm agreeing with Unschool on etiquette, so I hope you can take note of the advice you're getting from everyone.

New Wave revival

I've put a proposed deletion tag on New Wave revival. It's not because I think it's inappropriate for Wikipedia, but more that this information would be better placed on the New Wave music page, with New Wave revival made into a redirect.

This looks familiar

haha... I see you have about as many deletion templates as I did when I started out on Wikipedia. But I feel that I should mention that you probrably should cite a few sources, it keeps these other guys from deleting your articles.

In regards to the page, I'm trying my best to keep it from being deleted again by providing sources on the discussion page of that article. Make sure you post your sources there so that they don't delete it.

I do however disagree on whether or not Facebook, MySpace, and Family Guy are "fads"; they are still popular now, you really cannot tell what is a fad and what isn't until you see it in retrospect. Social networking sites are not really fads because people will always use them from now on. I won't take them off, just make sure you find a source supporting it.

If however the page is nominated for deletion (AGAIN), then I will delte the stuff that is not sourced so that the page will survive, OK? See ya... (Tigerghost (talk) 17:19, 17 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]
