Evansville, Indiana
We have an unregistered user (I.P. address 166.170.58.55) attempting to make substantial changes to the Evansville, Indiana page. In particular he or she is adding substantial amounts of pictures to the history summary, along with other detailed historical notes. My belief is that these substantial details belong on the history page dedicated to that subject and not in the summary section of the city's article. If you think I'm in error please let me know via the discussion of this issue on the Evansville talk page. Many thanks.--YHoshua (talk) 04:54, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Creating a page
I want to create a new article on a trumpet player named Jumaane Smith, but there doesn't seem to be that much information on him for me to write a substantial amount! either because not many people have noticed him or he simply hasn't revealed much. From his "résumé" of sorts on his site, he's done what many performers only dream of, and then some. Do you think this is enough notability for me to create an article on him?

Also, it's Toast from the Grimm Wiki. Supertoastfairy (Talk) 14:02, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Great American Wiknic 2014 - Southern Indiana
I'd like to invite you to add a Southern Indiana event for the Great American Wiknic. This year we're aiming to coalesce nationally around July 6, but any date that is convenient to your local community works as well. And don't be shy about putting something preliminary on the national Wiknic page, it all helps!--Pharos (talk) 17:00, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

I just realised that I'd never responded! Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it; I'm preparing to be moving to Pennsylvania. Nyttend (talk) 11:34, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dim Effect


The article Dim Effect has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * No indication this term has found currency outside Ratcliffe's own work; most of the cites just support the argument the editor is making, they don't actually support currency of the term "Dim Effect" itself.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
