Gorgish
Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gorgish may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. -- Longhair 16:17, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Twinning
Someone nominated Wrea Green Twinning Committee for deletion and I could not defend keeping it. I suggest you merge your text into the Weary Green article. -- RHaworth 18:45, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Eurovision
Hi, Alexander!

Thank you for your contributions to the Eurovision Song Contest article :) It is great to see new editors coming in and trying to improve what we have. Unfortunately I have had to revert your edits. I'm sorry about this: please do not take it personally. The reason I have reverted them is because, at the moment, I am trying to get the article up to "Featured" standard. Featured Articles have a certain number of guidelines. One such guideline is that mentioning relative time differences should be minimised. So for example, to talk about "next year's Contest" when referring to Eurovision 2007, makes it clear that the text was written in 2006. That means, this text will become out-of-date next year. The best articles should not do this: they should be static information, which will be true for as long as possible. It is even borderline, to mention such things as "As of 2006, the country who has entered the longest with no wins to their name is Portugal." - because who knows? Portugal might win next year; rendering the article out-of-date. It is also not a good thing to mention the 2007 participants, Czech Republic and Georgia, as if they have actually made their debut. The 2007 Contest has not happened yet. This information is speculative and subject to change. In fact I seem to remember some news about the Czech Republic intending to enter one year recently - but then they changed their mind and decided not to. Such information should not be included in the article until the end of the three minutes of those debut countries' songs - because up until then, anything can happen which might mean their participation is cancelled! I hope you understand... and again, please do not take it personally that I removed your edits. Thanks :) EuroSong talk 21:33, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on King Edward VII and Queen Mary School Les Miserables Production 2007, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Proofreader J-Man 04:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
