Can I ask why you removed the tags from this article? There is still no assertion of notability, and it is still written in an in-universe style. J Milburn 21:56, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Roll Call
Spam in Muse of Fire
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Muse of Fire, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Muse of Fire is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Muse of Fire, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 03:50, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- I declined to speedily delete this article; I don't think the tone was promotional, and Simmons won a Hugo, so it's plausible that this novella has notability. But I'm not the expert. You might want to post a message on the talk page at WP:NOVEL or WP:SCIFI for help in establishing notability for science fiction; your article could still be sent to WP:Articles for deletion if it doesn't meet notability requirements. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 04:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts
Hi Geracudd, I've noticed your very positive improvements to a wide variety of articles, including one that I've also edited. Good work, and thank you! I would ask only that when making such edits that you also include a very brief description of what you are doing in the edit summary to let others know what your edit is doing; usually a few brief words are all that are needed, such as "spell. corr." (spelling correction). Thanks again for your very helpful efforts. Best: HarryZilber (talk) 14:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

You have just tagged Norway News for deletion, because it seems to be promotional. I can not see it is. Norway News is a non-commercial newssite, whose purpose is to inform non-Norwegian speaking readers about news in Norway. It is commercially as well as politically and religiously independent short version of Norwegian news. The editorial content does not promote anything, and the reson for publishing is, as one of the few, to convey Norwegian news out to a wider audience in English. What makes this online newspaper promotional? If you have not added too much prestige in this, and deletion is not too speedy, I urge you to take away tagging a.s.a.p.(talk) 18:18, 15 March 2016 (CET)

Hello Mainly Twelve, How is this an advert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vab_Media_Digital_Agency There are 17 cited verifiable third party sources.

Thank you for your comments, I worked for years in the Spanish Wikipedia, but occasionally I visit the English version, and it is always nice to read that is appreciated--Warairarepano&Guaicaipuro (talk) 19:51, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Sure thing. Hope you keep it up!--MainlyTwelve (talk) 19:52, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Dear Mainly Twelve, A few minutes after I finished the article, you added already observations, which are rather an enigma to me. Your two remarks are:
1) "This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling". It would be interesting to know where you have criticisms regarding grammar, style, cohesion, tone or spelling of this article. I am not aware of any.
2)"This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose". Either I do not understand what you mean, or you are referring to the few lines of activities of Lesaffer placed one after an another. In my view this makes it much more readable than if this would be written "in prose" as you put it.
I am not used to such a treatment, so I am much interested to have information about this. Andries Van den Abeele (talk) 19:54, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- There are various small problems, including spaces between your references, and the way you formatted his date of birth (which I fixed, I understand that you formatted as is the custom in French, and, perhaps, German). The second issue you raised is in reference to the section you mentioned. Chalk it up to a difference in opinions, but I think it would be better rendered in prose. Feel free to keep it as is, I won't change it.--MainlyTwelve (talk) 19:58, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
I made changes to the references. And small other things. I hope you can now take away the warning. best regards, Andries Van den Abeele (talk) 07:31, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- I made the change, thank you for letting me know.--MainlyTwelve (talk) 20:47, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
Not meant
Hey MainlyTwelve, Thanks for letting me know my mistake on Lemino's page, But I did not make as any type of product, He is a famous youtuber so I wanted to make a page about him, I searched for him, did not find a page so I wrote what I know, before I created the page myself I wanted to read about him, and did not find a page about him, for example Pewdiepie is a famous youtuber, and has a wikipedia page, same with vanossgaming, and diamondminecart, so in conclusion, I did not mean anything wrong
Thanks, badramgad

Africa Destubathon
Hi, thanks for your work so far! Can you do me a favour though and always add every entry you do to the main list here as well as the entries page, regardless if yet approved or not as that's the master list of all articles being done. It's just veyr time consuming for me to be judging the articles, trying to contribute myself and chasing up what people have done and filling it out for people each time. So if you can take care of that this would be a great help, there's some part filled out ones underneath so you just need to add country, article name and then you username.

Thanks for the kind words. I was a little surprised that no one had gotten around to creating the page. As you know, it was already published in the US, but it may have already been published in Great Britain. Meanwhile, hope you can help get it past a stub class.
On a side note, I wonder if either of us will get around to reading this novel, as it clocks in at 866 pages! I've read 7 or 8 books by Paul Auster over the last 15 years, and my favorite novel is probably In the Country of Last Things, followed by The Book of Illusions.

User page in inappropriate category
Your user page User:MainlyTwelve/51 Astor Place, by reason of its contents, was accidentally included in a content category. It has been corrected for you. For information about this, please see the guidelines about the categorization of user pages. I changed just this one page for you, as a demonstration of how you can both preserve the categories, keep them visually convenient, but take your user pages out of content categories. Just add a colon at the start of any category links. If or when you copy or move the page back to a real article, just remove the colons again. I only found this due to reviewing another user's edits, and I'm not about to look through all of your pages for this issue. It would be a generally good thing if you could make similar changes to your other user pages, if you have more which are similarly in content categories. Thanks.

20th/21st century categories by occupation
Careful with your regexes! Also be aware that there's a general presumption against 20th/21st century country occupation categories. Take something like Category:20th-century Tanzanian lawyers - Tanzania didn't exist before the 20th century, so for the next 83 years all Tanzanian lawyers will either be 20th or 21st century (with significant WP:OVERLAPCAT between the two). So it's not really WP:DEFINING - look at it another way, such a category implies a Category:Tanzanian lawyers by century parent that is a two-member WP:SMALLCAT for the foreseeable future. The trouble is that there's a small fraction of such categories that get used just for the practical reason that there's not much else to divide up a few big categories like Category:Italian artists, but that doesn't justify the creation of thousands of other categories. I think in general it's best to avoid triple intersection categories like this, and just let those who are interested use WP:Category intersection tools to drill down larger categories.
