Notability of Mark S. Allen Jr.
editA tag has been placed on Mark S. Allen Jr., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --OnoremDil 15:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- To answer your question, wikipedia does not discriminate, either on the grounds of race, creed, colour, nationality, age, sex, sexuality or anything else. But we are an encyclopedia, and subjects for articles must be encyclopedically notable. Ask yourself "would I qualify for an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica" for example.--Anthony.bradbury 20:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
- Please accept my apology for the delay in answering your question; I have been away from my PC. The answer to your question is, I am afraid, no. Every marine in your unit will have been posted to the same locations. If you had won the medal of honor, or achieved some other unique or notable distinction, then the answer would be different. Sorry. P.S. please sign your messages either with ~~~~ or with , which is on the icon bar above the text box.--Anthony.bradbury 21:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
It sounds like what you want to add would be considered original research. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not the place to post things that you haven't found anywhere else. Everything needs to be attributed to a reliable source. --OnoremDil 01:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think it's possible that the scene you are referring to might already be mentioned in the trivia section of the Toy Story article. Mr. Potato Head says, "What are you looking at, you hockey puck?", which was a trademark insult of the actor doing the voice. If that isn't what you're talking about, that's the section where you'd want to put it, but be ready for it to be removed if you don't provide a reliable source. --OnoremDil 03:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:IMGP0389.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:IMGP0389.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:

editOK. Take a look at WP:MUSIC. When you write the article, it is essential that you claim, in the article, at least one of the items regarding notability. If you do, it will not be deleted. If you don't, it almost certainly will. If you construct the article in a sub-page (WP:SUBPAGE) then if it gets deleted you have the ability to improve it and re-submit. If you like I will look at the article as soon as it is posted, if you let me know. I am on GMT, which means that that now it is 23.10 here. I normally work on wiki from about 19.00 until 00.30 (set your watch) so you may want to judge when best to contact me. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 22:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
