April 2014

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Hoodie Allen may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• making music with RJ Ferguson (aka RJF), giving himself the name Hoodie Allen.<ref name=tgl>[http://www.thagoodlifereviews.com/2010/10/13/hoodie-allen-interview/ TGLR Interview with Hoodie

Rubik's cube

I reverted you because you made a mess of restoring the edits you had reverted. If you just have a problem with the award why don't you just delete that line and say why in the edit summary? Undoing stuff that was done months ago and mixed up with all sorts of other issues is bound to make a mess. SpinningSpark 23:56, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hoodie Allen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Riff Raff. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Monitor article

Hello, thank you for writing this article! I’m a bit concerned that this zine might not be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That link goes to a guide, but basically any coverage of a newspaper or publication on here is supposed to be based on being covered in reliable sources, like books and newspapers. (Those are links to guides explaining this in more detail.)

Are there any extra citations you can add demonstrating that it's notable? I'm concerned since the article may get deleted otherwise. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions about this. Blythwood (talk) 13:38, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Rapoport

Hello Bl4kers,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Adam Rapoport for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello, Bl4kers. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Crushed Red, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 21:03, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

CMA New Artist of the Year

The Chicks were still known as the Dixie Chicks when they won the then-Horizon Award at the CMAs in 1998; they did not drop “Dixie” from their name until 2020. So for chronological reasons, “Dixie Chicks” is the name we have to go by. Zredman (talk) 16:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
