Notability of Karl Ehrhardt

A tag has been placed on Karl Ehrhardt requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 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. Basketball 110 _{the pages I've messed up completely} 01:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to write JavaScript to bypass GeoHack page

I have made two attempts (two scripts, one was contributed) to try and rewrite links with map coordinates to bypass GeoHack & go straight to Google Maps. One's on the monobook, the other is in a js page which I import on load to the monobook. Neither have worked.
In addition, a sample script from the JavaScript Tutorial page has also been loaded, but no luck. I've commented out the two scripts that are working. HELP!

Re: Firebug reccomendation

If you hard refresh a page then it will load the monobook.js. I personally use Firebug to debug JS on Wikipedia, and sometimes also use Greasemonkey to test scripts locally without having to edit the monobook.js. Gary King (talk) 19:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably not looking in the right place then. I just started up Firebug and voila, all the scripts are there—about 50 or so of them. I don't even have to hard refresh, as now that I refresh my memory, Firebug will just draw from the cache if the scripts are cached. There should be a dropdown box in the "Scripts" panel; try clicking on the button that says "Main Page", which should show you all 50 scripts or so. Gary King (talk) 18:37, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure; the breakpoints should work just fine. You're probably not setting them in the right spots, then. Perhaps the line you are trying to add the breakpoint to does not get executed because it is within a conditional statement that is not processed.

Disambiguation link notification for March 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1972–73 New York Islanders season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Earl Ingarfield. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:24, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Litsky

Hi DSH. You recently added a date of death for Frank Litsky. I was wondering if you had a solid source for that statement. All I find are Internet forums posts and I'm kind of surprised that there's no confirmation of his death from the New York Times where he worked for years and years.

Hello, I'm Hadal. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on The Gambler (wrestler), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! --Hadal (talk) 16:38, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not a complete list of every site but this is a catalogue of sources Wikipedia look at as reliable or not. The issue with webscrapers is there's so many it's hard to keep track. Easiest way to spot them is to see the URL/website name. Keying Becker into google results from the past 24 hours brings up results from sites like Memorial Update, Tributes News Update, Precious Departures, etc. They're sometimes the only sites posting articles about a death for some time as they scrape through the likes of social media. Just for means of distinction, places like Dignity Memorial, which has a similar naming convention to these webscrapers, are reliable sources as they are objectively an obituary website and partner to funeral homes/cemteries.
