Hi! Good question. In this case, there wasn't eough content to support the article. It was little more than an address. On the other hand, places of this type are inherently notable, so if you wish, feel free to create a new article with some content and citations. You'll find WP:YFA to be helpful to get you started. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:28, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

No worries, just wanted to hear your criteria. Thanks! HyperCapitalist (talk) 01:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Makerbot

edit
 

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Makerbot

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Makerbot, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

See User_talk:Nyttend#Makerbot. I suggest you work on the article in your user subspace then post it developed to the point where it won't get speedy deleted. If you have questions, post on my talk page. RlevseTalk 02:21, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

HELP, I'M BEING RAPED article

edit

Thank you for your help at New Page Patrol. I thought I would let you know that I have declined the CfD as the article is not a category, but an article, and also declined the CSD, as it is not patent nonsense or gibberish. I have, however, nominated it for deletion via the PROD template, which seems the most appropriate way to delete this article. Regards -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 07:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

You are welcome. FWIW it ended up being deleted under G3. -- Александр Дмитрий (Alexandr Dmitri) (talk) 09:07, 25 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

New Page Patrol

edit

Thanks for your work patrolling new pages - however may I suggest that you review WP:CSD because this could easily qualify as {{db-person}} because there is no mention of any significance or importance. AFD is a longer process for articles that claim some importance which may or may not make them notable.  7  05:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Agreed -- I'll look more carefully for that possibility next time. HyperCapitalist (talk) 05:01, 27 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Adalberto Álvarez

edit

I have expanded and sourced Adalberto Álvarez so that the article passes the notability guidelines. The speedy tag no longer applies.

On a side note: Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Speedy deletion states: "Anyone except a page's creator may contest the speedy deletion of a page by removing the deletion notice from the page." Please don't re-add a speedy tag once it has been removed by an uninvolved editor. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 06:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

My mistake. I thought you were the page's creator. HyperCapitalist (talk) 06:06, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
No worries. Would you remove the speedy tag since the notability has been established? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 06:08, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
While browsing through CAT:CSD, I found Omg girlz, which you incorrectly tagged as patent nonsense. The article was as follows:
"The omg girlz is an all girl group formed by Tameka "Tiny" Cottle a past member of Xscape. The members of The Omg Girlz include Zonnique Pullins daughter of Tameka "Tiny" Cottle,Reginae Carter daughter of Lil Wayne."
Wikipedia:Patent nonsense is something along the lines of "uioipouipojspoijopjopejpo". The article you tagged is more suitable under A7, or {{db-band}} because the article does not assert notability. I have corrected the speedy tag because accurate speedy tags allow new editors to know why their articles have been deleted. An inaccurate tag may bite them or cause them to recreate the article with the same mistakes, leading to another deletion. Cunard (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

HyperCapitalist, your edits of the ARRA page are capricious, arbitrary, and hypocritical

edit

HyperCapitalist, you removed the link to the site I added (http://stimulus-watchdog.com/) because I am displaying Google ads on my site. However, you allow http://www.stimuluswatch.org/ to remain in the ARRA article, which also contains Google ads. In the interest of consistency, you should either 1) add my site back or 2) remove http://www.stimuluswatch.org/. Anything else is pure hypocrisy and will, for the sake of transparency, be exposed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.26.223 (talk) 01:18, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

HyperCapitalist, your argument doesn't make any sense

edit

Your rationale for deleting my link was that it contained Google ads. Yet, you allow another site that also includes ads. It is hypocrisy, pure and simple. Your cited reference holds no water. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, and censorship is censorship. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.26.223 (talk) 01:31, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

HyperCapitalist, your arguments continue to be unpersuasive

edit

Based on the link you just provided, the link I provided does not qualify as inappropriate content. It is not an "irrelevant link to a shock site" nor is it "vandalism." It is an up-to-date site documenting, from public government sources, over 80,000 stimulus grants, contracts, and loans sorted by state, city, zip code, and recipient. It is timely, accurate, and on-topic. the fact that it contains ads should not disqualify it (unless there is a blanket policy that no sites with ads can be linked to from Wikipedia). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.255.26.223 (talk) 01:42, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston

edit

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:09, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

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.
