Reminders to Self

Sonnet 16 contains some useful things like fair youth and ref template. Sonnet 23 contains a good bit on the fair youth that should really be repeated or moved elsewhere.

L. Frank Baum

In Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work, Kenneth Forbes runs for local office with the banning of billboards his major campaign issue. He uses a slippery slope argument about advertising on clothing, and demonstrates some examples with the neighborhood kids wearing ads on their clothes, which horrifies a large portion of those in attendance. Now, it's tough to not find people with advertisements on their clothing when you go out in public. this is what I meant by ubiquity. I don't know what you meant by influence, but it seems to me irrelevant in this context. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 15:43, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Sonnets

I accept that the book is legitimate scholarship, but your edit presented a point of view as if it were fact. I think if that pov is going to be included, it has to be in the context of other viewpoints that have been expressed by scholars. Most don't think that the "only begetter" passage would have been considered "outrageous", and there are disputes about who it is intended to refer to. Also Sonnet 125 does not "describe the coronation of James VI", that's just an interpretation of the reference to bearing a "canopy", one of several [1]. Nor is it new, or, I think, widely accepted (see Sonnet 125). We have to put such material in context, otherwise it's misleading. That's why I said it was 'undue weight'. It could be reintroduced if we can add other points of view to balance it. I'd suggest that you could add it to the article on the sonnet. We may be able to create a whole new page on the dedication, but I'm far too busy to do that now. The whole sonnets page really needs a complete overhaul. (I posted this on my talk page too. If you want to continue to discuss I will stick to whichever talk page you reply on). Paul B (talk) 12:25, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Homosexuality. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. CTJF83 chat 08:49, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

• Let it be noted that I did not make those edits, and there were several, this was the only one complained about. And that I changed my password. I am completely in favour of the rights of homosexual people, and for those rights to improve. I have several friends who are in homosexual relationships and even marriages. I dislike how this template appears on my page, but won't archive it away. MrMelonhead (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Flox (artist)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Flox (artist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 01:13, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Black Mail Press

The article Black Mail Press has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication how this article meets WP:COMPANY. I found three mentions of "Blackmail Press" in G-News (and none under "Black Mail Press"), and none of those covered the publisher itself in any depth, but only mentioned it.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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.

Electric Disco (Song) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Electric Disco (Song), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your contributed article, Christopher Luxton

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Christopher Luxton. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Christopher_Luxon. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Christopher_Luxon. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Tatupiplu'^talk 00:28, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
