I noticed that the "Madre Hill" article I created still flagged as a stub. What do I need to add? Duane L. Freeman 19:01, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thomas W. Sieh
A tag has been placed on Thomas W. Sieh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Sorry, but it just doesn't have enough info. No offense intended, and cheers, Basketball one ten  01:38, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Somewhat, yes. Since it doesn't exist anymore, I can't go back and look at it, to see, why at the time, I marked it (see WP:Note). Cheers,  Basketball one  10  23:27, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Delta Classic
A tag has been placed on Delta Classic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

College Football Project request
Hello! You are listed as an active member of the College Football Project! We have a large number of unreferenced biographies of living persons, but it works out to be just two or three articles per active participant. I've divided up the articles that need help and put them in a table on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football/Unreferenced BLPs. Please assist the project by researching and sourcing the articles that have been "assigned" (so to speak) to you.--Paul McDonald (talk) 02:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Silas Hunt
The problem is that every state has its flagship university with its law school, and that could result in 50 "African-American firsts" (not to mention the medical schools). Being the first African American to graduate from law school is a historic first; being the first African American to graduate from a specific law school borders on the trivial. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:30, 2 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, being the first African American since Reconstruction to enroll at a "white" university is a big deal. I'll restore Hunt to the list. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:03, 6 October 2011 (UTC)


 * No problem. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:26, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Magic Johnson
I'm glad you're OK with it. I do think there may be a notable story underneath it all, but at this point, there's just not enough to say. Zagal e jo^^^ 04:58, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

More Magic
Thanks for your efforts to improve Magic Johnson. I notice that in your citations such as this one, your formatting differs from the existing citations by adding "from" to the source of the work, e.g. "From sodexomagic.com." Since this is a featured article, it would be good to keep the formats consistent. One solution would be to use existing templates like, though the re-formatting can be done without the use of templates as well. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 17:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Magic formatting
Thanks for the feedback. I do see the changes you are suggesting, and I plan to go over my citations again. The citation style you mentioned is something I developed on my own, over time. My main goals were adding information about the Magic Johnson All-Stars, and expanding on Magic's coaching stint and last comeback. Once I felt like everything was written well enough, I decided to take a break and read through it later&#91;&#91;D-free&#93;&#93; (talk) 22:17, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Magic Johnson
You know, the more I look at this, the more confused I get. I typed in some of his siblings' names and found a relevant passage in Johnson's own biography:. From there, it would appear that he is one of seven children, not including the stepchildren. I wonder if he was misquoted in the article I linked to earlier. I think I would give more weight to the book. Zagal e jo^^^ 21:00, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Photo request
Do you take and upload pictures? At the National Register of Historic Places wikiproject, we maintain lists of historic sites for every county in the country, and we try to get as many pictures as possible, but we sorely need help in Arkansas — if you go to WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Progress, you'll see that Arkansas' ratio of photos to sites is the lowest for any state nationwide. Anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. Nyttend (talk) 23:49, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:15, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Attention: WikiProject African diaspora participants
Hello fellow project participants. Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon! WikiGuy86 (talk) 03:44, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jakob Reimer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wise.

Edit summaries
Hey Dlfreem. While this does look like it was probably a good removal of some really over the top content, next time try to remember to leave an edit summary along with it. That way folks won't see such a large amount of information removed without an explanation and all go check what it was that was changed. G M G talk   19:48, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues….
Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!


 * Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
 * Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
 * Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
 * Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Kind regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:50, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
