Speedy deletion declined: Flux (mac software)

Hello 2. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Flux (mac software), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to software. Thank you. GedUK  23:13, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Notability template

I removed the notability template from Justo Betancourt. It seems that you did not check the talk page, where I gave a more detailed explanation of notability. The page is challenging and time-consuming for me to work on because most of the sources are Spanish-language, which is why I created it as such a brief stub. However, he's so far above the threshold for WP:MUSIC, either/both from his discography, and from an overwhelming majority of sources that exist, that I think the template should stay off the page. Please do a more thorough check before placing such a template on newly created stubs! Thanks. Cazort (talk) 14:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Message to all members of WikiProject Opera

Please see our project's talk page for a discussion of the possible changes to Wikipedia's policy on the biographies of living persons and the implications this will have for many articles under the project's banner. This is especially important if you are looking after or have created unreferenced or minimally referenced opera-related biographies of living people.

Viola!

I'm sure you remember the time I came to you about the people who copied your userpage into your page. Well I figured out what happened. Apparently, most of them accidentally linked to your page when trying to denote the college that they had attended. Five or six templates later, they are all removed, and you aren't linked to anymore that I know of. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 22:16, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Wow, I completely forgot about that - figured nobody cared or they just took care of it on their own. Thanks so much for getting it sorted out! 2 says you, says two 15:00, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Columbus University

Would you mind revisiting this? The article was recently changed severely by a SPA and has since been reverted back to its prior state. It now appears pretty well-sourced. ThemFromSpace 05:23, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Yankeessuck.png

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Yankeessuck.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
  • If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
  • To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
  • If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.


Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:39, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

re: re: New York Yankees

My complaint with the image is that it (and that criticism) section do not effectively contribute to the overall quality of the article (in terms of negative information). Perhaps I feel that way because the criticism section is poorly written, but a lot of it is conjecture and unverified speculation from a biased point of view... especially the lines I removed along with the image last night. The only two sources cited in that section are a list of MLB salaries, and a quote almanac with a line by one sports columnist. There is no other sources that back up the rest of the claims, like "When the Yankees are on the road, it is common for the home fans to chant "Yankees Suck," and numerous t-shirts, bumper stickers and other items have been sold with this phrase." That is incorrect. Perhaps at rival stadiums like Fenway Park (Red Sox) that may be the case but that isn't and shouldn't be considered "common." Indeed, more often than not there are enough Yankees fans at an away game to drown out the home crowds of some of the less talented teams.

Now, I'm not pretending to be an expert on Wikipedia policy at all here -- in fact I'm a neophyte when it comes to editing -- but wouldn't the line "Much of the animosity toward the team may derive from its high payroll" borderline on weasel words? The source after that claim is just the list of salaries. Them having the highest salary is undisputed, but is that type of speculation (that isn't addressed in the source) acceptable? I think that whole section can be written much better than it currently is.

Going back to the image, I want to draw a comparison to another article that I know is viewed with high esteem on Wikipedia and that is George W. Bush. I think it is reasonable to say that GWB is more hated and criticized than the New York Yankees, but you don't see images/bumper stickers that borderline on bad taste in the criticism section for the former President. This is the best way I can convey my argument against having the "yankees suck" image prominently placed on that page. I don't mean to sound like a biased fan in my own right -- I'd just like to ensure quality and neutral POV where possible here. I won't make any changes but I'd like to hear some of your thoughts on what I've brought up.

Thanks -Novaprospekt (talk) 01:29, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't you think it'd be better to delete outright so that a notable song with the same title can be moved to that article name? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 04:38, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

 Done. I was wondering why you didn't simply be bold and redirect it, but that makes much more sense if there's a notable song that can be placed there. 2 says you, says two 13:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
