Speedy deletion declined: Katie Musolff

Hello James Brian Ellis, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Katie Musolff - a page you tagged - because: has been featured in numerous newspaper articles, and has been featured in several one person and group shows. - is an assertion of importance or significance. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Ϣere SpielChequers 10:55, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Johns-Bourke

>>> I would be grateful if you could let me know why you deleted the page Michael Johns-Bourke Michaeljohnsbourke (talk) 15:00, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just suggested it for speedy deletion. You can speak to the administrator who deleted it about the matter here: User:WereSpielChequers. I requested speedy deletion because it was not the type of article about people which is allowed on Wikipedia. The article must be about a notable person. Looking at your username and the article name, it looks as if though you created the article about yourself. Even if it wasn't, there were no references supporting the notability of the person, and the article hardly had any content whatsoever. Please don't hesitate to respond to this if you have any more comments. Thanks, James Brian Ellis (talk) 15:41, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

does sit look better now i just need some guys like you to talk more about this page thank you man (Questchest (talk) 16:18, 27 December 2009 (UTC))[reply]

It is a bit better in terms of detail, but still isn't layed out in a good fashion. Please read Wikipedia:How_to_write_a_great_article to find out how to improve it.

i just read what that police page was telling me about Law enforcement in Cape Verde Police Page Cape verde robbers Arrest for trafficking cocaine in Santa Maria PJ has 01 (a) individual, for theft, in Praia PJ has 02 individuals for Theft and Robbery in Mindelo PJ has an individual for several armed robberies on the beach you know i been in paris and i got robbed of 1000,- isnt it better to inform people about these causes. on cape verde military police page i saw the police like fighting riots i dont know if you read the page and saw something important but i think its better for people to first know about this before thinking that they are visiting a beautiful country i dont like robbers like in paris i was broke i had no place to sleep and then i went to the french police and explained it they gave me a place to sleep, i even saw a girl from London get beat to the ground by french man there could you please check if you could smaller that police picture its to big thank you (Questchest (talk) 17:25, 31 December 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Adam Sherwin

Hello James. I've provided three WP:RS references to back up Adam Sherwin stub in good faith, but I'm not sure if he's a non-notable journalist or he qualifies. I'd really appreciate if you manually look into it and let me know. Thank you very much. --Scieberking (talk) 19:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey - I will paste a quote from WP:GNP here:

The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by their peers or successors.
The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.
The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries, museums or internationally significant libraries.

If you can add a reference about Adam Sherwin to do with any of the above, I will happily remove the speedy deletion tag. The above quote is for articles about journalists. Thanks, James Brian Ellis (talk) 19:19, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, Adam Sherwin has been cited by his peers at The Independent saying "Diary editor Adam Sherwin returns to the newsdesk, where he was formerly media correspondent" and BBC saying "Now a columnist - having left People in the more than capable hands of ex-media correspondent Adam Sherwin - Rifkind gnaws his fist over the pictures from Ascot and, in the process, reveals his editorial policy on the gossip page". I've added both of these web references in the main article, too.

Thanks for your help, James. --Scieberking (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're Welcome. I've added a few tags to the top of the article to help you with writing it. Maybe if you have a look at them it could help you improve it. Also, I've added a tag saying it is currently being updated, so people will not edit it whilst you write more about the person. :) James Brian Ellis (talk) 21:54, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{help me}} Is it possible to see how many articles I've requested for speedy deletion? Just so I can see how many have been deleted to look at how much I've helped Wikipedia in that way? Thanks! James Brian Ellis (talk) 16:13, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not directly, but the deleted edits count of this tool will help you come up with a rough estimate. —DoRD (?) (talk) 16:27, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And, at this point, roughly 60% of your deleted edits are articles you tagged for csd. Two or three prods as well. —DoRD (?) (talk) 16:43, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of pages

Hi James Brian Ellis. So I am extremely new to Wikipedia and am trying to create a page for a company I work for. I am trying to do backgrounds/biographies on the owners and other important employees. However when I get done with it, speedy deletion comes through and deletes everything saying that it does not indicate how it is important. So I am wondering how I make indicate that it is important, is it something that I write? Or do I have to enter a "code" of some sort? Thank you for all the help! Mjreuter (talk) 15:18, 29 January 2010 (UTC)Melody[reply]

Hey,
The if you to this link here: Wikipedia:COMPANY - That should give you all the information you need about creating an article on a company. You can always use the Sandbox for testing articles. You may also want to look at articles for other companies and compare them to yours. James Brian Ellis (talk) 15:43, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References

Okay, so apparently I am still having problems, and Wikipedia doesnt really explain HOW to do something, it just states what you CAN NOT do. So if I am creating a "biography" page about the General Manager or the Owner of the company and I back it up with the link to the official website where they have the actual biographies of these people, what else do I need to do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjreuter (talk • contribs) 14:10, 8 February 2010 (UTC) Mjreuter (talk) 14:16, 8 February 2010 (UTC)Melody[reply]

Unreviewed Article

I have a question...after you create a page and move it from your userspace into the form for the entire world to see, a notice appears on the top of the page that says "This is a new unreviewed article...etc" How do I get rid of that notice? --Mjreuter (talk) 15:21, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, You cannot remove this... After another user has read the article, they can remove it and it will be gone from then on. James Brian Ellis (talk) 15:43, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How long does it take for someone to come and review it? I mean because I have had the page up for at least a month now and nobody has come along yet. --Mjreuter (talk) 12:52, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it still up? If so, send me the link to the page and I will look at it. James Brian Ellis (talk) 21:48, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it still is up. Here's the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Sports_Entertainment Thank you so much for taking a look at it for me! I really appreciate it. --Mjreuter (talk) 12:54, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was just wondering if you had gotten a chance to review my article? --Mjreuter (talk) 16:10, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed it.

Perfect, thank you so much! --Mjreuter (talk) 12:56, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How can I make my user page so that all of my user boxes are order properly. I would just like them stacked on a separate line each. Thanks!

New deal for page patrollers

Hi James Brian Ellis,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
