Neutral POV?

You posted a box at the top of the article Flag of Bikini Atoll stating that the neutrality of the article is in dispute. To me, I don't see how the article is biased. Please post something on its talk page explaining why you think this. On a different note, welcome to Wikipedia. SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 01:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Forklift truck

Could you please indicate on Forklift truck's talk page why you think it needs wikification as it's not obvious to me. Thanks, Rich257 11:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Trevor Nelson

I have removed the speedy tag you placed on Trevor Nelson, as presenting shows on BBC Radio One and MTV is a clear assertion of notability. You may still take the article to AfD if you wish. Oldelpaso 17:19, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Ahlul Bayt Islamic Centre

Hi there; I did not think that this article warranted speedy deletion, and have removed your tag. If you feel strongly about it, you might think about taking it to AfD.--Anthony.bradbury 21:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

State v. Kelly

I have added several further references and removed the notability tag from State v. Kelly. A google seach here shows that this case is being cited in numerous other cases across the US and is notable from the number of citations it gets. If you are still concerned then an AfD is the way to go. BlueValour 22:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding unwarrented vandalism warnings to User:Pokalo's talk page. Splitting a paragraph into two or adding some lines for formatting can not be construed as vandalism. Rklawton 13:37, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

deleted article: daniel lubetzky

hi, a few days ago i submitted a biography on daniel lubetzky, founder & president of a middle east peace initiative.

i think i unintentionally violated a wiki policy because it was immediately tagged for speedy deletion - i tried to address the problem (proving notability) but it has been deleted anyway.

i am wondering if maybe i didn't categorize the entry correctly? i am a really new wiki user and haven't got it all figured out yet. but i have really good intentions! the entry is about a living subject, and so is in line with a number of other wiki articles about CEOs, businessmen and women, organization founders and so on. is there a particular tag that i should use to note that?

please let me know if there is something i can do differently - i think it's a valid entry, but i don't want to go to the trouble of re-writing it in wikicode if it's going to be inevitably deleted ...

thank you!

Hi. I noticed that you put me have me as vandalizing wikipedia because I may have pasted over a speedy deletion tag. This was in reference to a wiki article on Field Technologies. I created the page over the course of an hour or so and made many many changes, most of which on MS then pasting to the page. I may have pasted over a flag if it was posted less than an hour or two after the page was created. After finishing the page I noticed a few other users changed the format and what-not. After a week or so someone deleted the page. I believe this may be becaue it was seen as an advertisement. I am new to wiki and saw many other company pages so I assumed that it was allowed. This is ment to be an explanation to the "last warning" about deleting speedy deletion tags. - brian1y 4/25/07

Are you down with brown?

Dear Stoic atarian,

Actually my "Are you down with brown?" addition was meant as a dumb little joke, and not a spam link. Sorry 'bout that. It might have made more sense if I'd supplied the correct URL: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=24063

I work in the package shipping industry, and a joke that never fails to crack up me and a several of my pals is imagining UPS going completely insane and coming up with a slogan like "Are you down with brown?" Guess we're all a bunch of dorks in the package shipping trade ;-)

Deletion of Skyscape (company)

It's fine with me if you delete it. I only created that article as a courtesy.

Let me explain.

Skyscape is a common English noun referring to a view of the sky, or an artwork that depicts a view of the sky; often it is, for practical purposes, synonymous with cloudscape. I found that someone had appropriated this term for an article about the company called "Skyscape". I suspected that this article was basically an advertisement for the company, i.e., spam. But rather than delete the article, since I didn't want to be mean, I created the page "Skyscape (company)" and moved the article there. So you see, I have no real attachment to the article "Skyscape (company)" and will not mind much if it is deleted. MdArtLover (talk) 00:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Image tagging for File:Mcponbushey.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mcponbushey.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:31th National Commodore of the United State Coast Guard Auxiliary.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:31th National Commodore of the United State Coast Guard Auxiliary.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

File source problem with File:California Nautical School Corps of Cadets.jpeg

Thank you for uploading File:California Nautical School Corps of Cadets.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:CMA-Keelhauler.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:CMA-Keelhauler.png. 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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:30, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Betteroffdeadsoundtrack.jpg

The file File:Betteroffdeadsoundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NFCC#3a (minimal number of items) and WP:NFCC#8 (contextual significance). The article subject is the film, not the film soundtrack; despite having a section about the soundtrack, the album cover fails to improve readers' understanding of the film itself. Also, the film poster (albeit different) is sufficient enough to identify and understand the film.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

USS Starlight (AP-175)

I started this article in 2006, when I was starting articles for every ship constructed at North Carolina Shipbuilding that didn't already have one. Basically they were just Wikified versions of articles in DANFS, and I was hoping that they would improve over time. I just revisited the article today, and I see that in 2014 you added a large section on her Later service and loss. BZ to you for that exceptional piece of work! MOST impressive. I always like to see what has become of articles I start. Your work makes me pleased and proud to have started this one. Lou Sander (talk) 01:47, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
