Your recent closure of Flying Machine (song) AfD

I did not notice before, but it looks like the article's author moved this article to Flying Machine (promotional release) soon after Flying Machine (song) was sent to AfD, without making the original a redirect. I think this was done in good faith but was still wrong to do while AfD was open. I think that the result of the AfD should also apply to Flying Machine (promotional release) or, better yet, the Flying Machine (promotional release) should simply be deleted, as it is an unlikely redirect term. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cassie_McFarland

Hi Guerillero, thanks for your closure of the aforementioned AfD. Another editor mentioned, and I concurred, that some day, she may be notable. As such, would you mind storing a copy of the old article in my userspace (i.e. User:Go Phightins!/Cassie_McFarland_incubation)? The article was half-decent, so if she ever gets real coverage, perhaps it can be wholly decent. Thanks! Go Phightins! 11:27, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

F1 Super Lap

Hi there, Mr. Guerillero! Well, I have something to ask you, a little bit, but it's important. Why did you delete the page that I'd created? Are you mad bro? Or something's wrong with your unrelated terms? Are you messing my article? So, hopefully that you should or you must have a reply on my talk page, as you understand some violations you have or doing so. Anyway, I hope that you reached this e-mail for you and please, give respect to this message that, I'll gonna solve this big issue. Thanks!!! :) --The Game Expert (talk) 11:32, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) I assume that, upon reviewing the arguments in the AfD discussion, he, and quite appropriately based on my quick scan, discerned that consensus as well as policy fell on the side of deleting the article. If you would like to work on it and find more sources, you can do so at articles for creation or in your userspace; just ask an administrator for a copy of the article. I am sure Guerillero has no ill will towards you. Go Phightins! 11:43, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

@Tambok0599: As Go Phightins said above, the article that you created was deleted as a result of a discussion that ended up favoring deletion. I have no opinion on the subject and I didn't delete the article to spite you. I suggest you read and listen to the advice given to you above, it is some good stuff. --Guerillero | My Talk 19:31, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Ok thanks for your good message. I was trying to get more updates, but unfortunately, someone closes the AfD discussion page and deleted the whole thing you know about. So, if there's something wrong, please feel free to sorry about, ok? Thank you! --The Game Expert (talk) 09:32, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

GA nomination of Enema of the State

Hey there! You recently reviewed my good article nomination for Enema of the State. You placed the article on hold for some further revision, which has been implemented in areas. I will however address several points in your review, such as the inclusion of images and sources deemed unreliable:

2b: Acclaimed Music is employed as a reliable source on current good articles (Me Against the World) and featured articles (Dookie). About.com is used as a source in the featured article Punk rock, as is Discogs. Discogs is also in use in the good articles on previous Blink-182 albums Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch. I have replaced the AbsolutePunk link with a book reference, as the original interview (no longer online, apparently) is cited in the book.

I will accept your use of acclaimed music because you use it as a starting point. Discogs is user generates content and therefore does not pass WP:RS. For about.com you need to show that the writer has some expertise on the subject. The use in other pieces of audited content, as they stand right now, shouldn't be an argument for the use of a source. --Guerillero | My Talk 20:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

The Discogs and About.com links have been removed. Thardin12 (talk) 03:06, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

The Indonesia and Philippines chart references do not come from those chart’s respective sites, as those countries do not (to my knowledge) have a certification site, or at least one that would include an album released in 1999. For those certifications, an additional reference (found in the 'Sales/shipments' section of the box) is included, citing the band’s biography, in which they give the stats on the album’s sales worldwide (of course, the book was released in 2001… many of these are long outdated, but I feel it necessary to include them regardless). I’ve also removed Germany’s certification, as they did not achieve one there.

I don't fully know how I feel about this but I see that you are trying to use the best sources out there --Guerillero | My Talk 20:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

3b: The Reading photo was included because I found the image long ago and, as Reading is a famous festival and this was the band’s first performance at it (and the photo in question is FROM that particular year), I felt it notable to include. Reading wasn’t a particularly important moment in determining the band’s stature in the pop world and industry, of course, and the image is only there to spruce up the article a tad… when I find a better image representing the touring cycle, such as a photo from that tour, the Reading image will be replaced. For now, I’ve left it there, as numerous good articles (Animals, Emotions) and even featured articles (Mother's Milk) include images from tours not necessarily discussed in detail in the text.

You make your point. I remove this objection --Guerillero | My Talk 20:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

4: Only one review discussed in the text (NME) is fairly negative, and that respective review doesn’t give a score (I suppose one could include (negative) in the review box, but I’ve always disliked review boxes anyway [I feel they often give undue weight to the critical reception of an album] and including a (negative) looks out of place beside stars). I’ve left it as it stands, and have removed two reviews that seem more like blog posts than reliable sources (Punknews and Sputnikmusic).

Sounds good and I agree with you that the review boxes are horrible. --Guerillero | My Talk 20:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

6a: The image in question of the album cover does feature a slight difference in the capitalization of the band’s name; I nominated the article long ago and this image has since been added. I agree with your rationale; it has been removed.

Sounds good --Guerillero | My Talk 20:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

I am open to more changes if need be. Thank you for the review! Thardin12 (talk) 04:38, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
