Speedy deletion nomination of Remuda
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Remuda requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Wysprgr2005 (talk) 16:39, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Two problems I have with the article. The DYK hook sentence needs a cite directly following it. It needs the Brooks and Marsh book, specifically. Secondly, that book says Saber is one-armed only after 1954 for The Vise, not in the beginning, so your first sentence in the article is not correct. Binksternet (talk) 21:58, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Reviewing at DYK
Hi. Thank you for stepping up to the plate by reviewing hook suggestions for DYK. I want to share a couple of pointers on reviewing at DYK:
1. When you review items there, please sign your comments with 4 tildes, same as on any other Wikipedia talk page.
2. If you want to suggest alternative wording for a hook, the usual approach is to create a new hook (label it "ALT" or "ALT1" or something) at the bottom of the section -- don't reword the nominator's version. (It is acceptable to fix formatting errors and similar problems with another person's hook, but in general we should not be changing other people's nominations.)
3. When you approve a hook or want to state a concern, use one of the coded symbols on the DYK page (e.g., {{subst:DYK?no}}, which produces 
) to indicate the general nature of your review comments.
PS - For what it's worth, I think the original suggestion of a hook for Michael Dembrow is actually better than your suggested revision -- at DYK, brevity is best (users should go to the article if they want details). --Orlady (talk) 21:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Infobox notes
I see that in many articles you use the "footnotes" field of the infobox for general information about the article subject. In my opinion it's pretty clear that this field isn't meant for this purpose, but is just intended to be used to clear up any statements made in the infobox itself that are unclear or require more explanation. This is analogous to the purpose that footnotes serve in the article itself. Template:Infobox person says that this field is meant for "Notes about any of the infobox data." Information about, for instance, Odell Pollard's former law partner's political career doesn't fall under that categroy. So, I'd be grateful if you'd stop doing this.Prezbo (talk) 05:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
