Dennis Swartzell

The article Dennis Swartzell has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:32, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Vermont

Thank you for your contributions to the article, Vermont. Some of these have been deleted due to lack of reference. Please see WP:FOOT, and WP:OR. Student7 (talk) 22:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Please use an article name when replying. I figured out from the context that it was "Vermont!" I edit a lot of stuff.

Quakers would be interesting BUT were never very numerous anywhere except Pennsylvania. That might present a problem for notability in the article. But if you can find where they were responsible for a LOT of maple lanes or something, that might be interesting. Again, the problem is quantity of people leading to quantity of focused effort.

We can't assume that census numbers contain a particular group without some scholarly (unbiased) reference which presents that information. BTW I don't own the article! There are other editors! :)Student7 (talk) 12:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Gee, Members of the Society of Friends would be fascinated to learn they never were very numerous in Vermont. As compared to what?! New York City? I believe five percent of the population is fairly numerous. See State Papers of Vermont IX. (Asian-Americans are four percent of the population and they rate accounting.)

List of people from Vermont

Thanks again for your contributions. Some of these have been modified or deleted. Please fill in the edit summary at the bottom of the edit page so that other editors can try to understand what it is you are trying to accomplish. Here, too, we need footnotes to independently document that the person lived or lives in Vermont. I realize that this was poorly enforced in the past but we need it for new entries. Simple footnotes can be constructed by using (can't do this live - the system will convert it!) left caret-ref-right caret-webpage-left caret-forward slash-ref-right caret. This will give your entry the simplest footnote and can be audited by other editors for veracity. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 22:50, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with List of people from Vermont. Your test worked, and it has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.21:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Nomination of Jacqueline A. Soule for deletion

Bay Laurel

Hi, I see you've added a cautionary note to the image gallery at Bay Laurel. Can you explain which images are incorrect? They are all described in their Commons descriptions as Laurus nobilis. Thanks, SteveStrummer (talk) 23:55, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Please return to Bay Laurel and indicate the pictures you say are incorrect. If you want, you can tell me on my talkpage and I will remove the pictures for you. SteveStrummer (talk) 03:21, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Zephyranthes

Hi, I left a somewhat critical note at Talk:Zephyranthes, and it's been pointed out to me that much of the article may be your work, so I'd like to explain a bit more here. I'm very interested in small bulbous plants, including genera like Zephyranthes and Habranthus, although where I live we can't grow them outside all year round because of frost. So like another commentator on the talk page, I think the article is interesting, but it doesn't conform to WP:NOTMANUAL, and if it's not altered a bit, there's a chance that some other editor will cut out great chunks (as I've seen happen before). Constructing articles which pass WP policies and are still of interest to gardeners and horticulturalists seems to be tricky! Anyway, I thought you might have time to look at it again. Peter coxhead (talk) 10:04, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Eusebio Kino

Good work wikifying the Kino article and de-POVing it. Saved me the trouble. Yours, Quis separabit? 23:01, 5 March 2012 (UTC) My reply -- tyvm, but it still needs work. As popularized on the TV show NCIS -- "woking on it!" Koibeatu (talk) 23:35, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Eusebio Kino, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mission (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

So Fix Them!

you people keep talking about this disambiguation problems but you never tell me in clear, non-techno-geek-speak how to fix them. If you notice it, please just fix it and you don't even have to tell me about it. Don't expect me to get back to you because I can't figure that out either. Clicking on your "names" does nothing. Koibeatu (talk) 22:21, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Actually these messages are from a "bot" = "software robot", i.e. a piece of software, not a person. What it means is that you've added a wikilink which leads to a disambiguation page rather than to an article. E.g. you've linked to Iris when you perhaps mean Iris (plant). If so, you should go back to the article and change [[Iris]] to [[Iris (plant)|Iris]]. I hope this is clear; if not, do please ask me.

Allium tuberosum

You added a couple of useful pieces of information to this article; if you go back and look at my revisions you'll see (a) how to add an authority to "Speciesbox" template (b) how to narrow down an USDA link (which is not obvious from the URL you see when you search).
