AfD nomination of Permian High School Band

I've nominated Permian High School Band, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Permian High School Band satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Permian High School Band and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Permian High School Band during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Cornell Rockey 04:40, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Permian High School Band

• Since you are definitely the expert when it comes to the band at PHS, you mention that their Jazz band is "One of Odessa's only High School Jazz Bands". Since there are only 2 high schools in Odessa, this statement is misleading. Does OHS have one? Fuhreeus 13:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

List of Farm to Market Roads in West Texas

A tag has been placed on List of Farm to Market Roads in West Texas, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Image copyright problem with Image:Mojo Band.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Mojo Band.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. The Evil Spartan 20:33, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Making News: Texas Style

The article Making News: Texas Style has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable local program. Aired in only one market

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

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