Edwin McCain Messenger - IP 66.20.95.70

Your note on User Talk:MrDolomite from 02:34, 26 September 2006
Will you please tell me why you deleted my text on the Wikipedia web page I created for Larry Chaney? I spent a lot of hours on it. I included a listing of Fan Site Links. This is quite common on musicians websites, and certainly appropriate. Check out some of the musicians pages on Wikipedia already that I have listed below. ALL of them have an area of their Wikipedia pages that includes fan site links; do these all need to be deleted? You will find FAN SITE LINKS on most every successful musician's Wikipedia pages.

I would appreciate an answer, and I hope you will check the history page and put the links back in. Many people check out Wikipedia to find the artists they enjoy. They subsequently like to go to the fan sites to meet other fans, find current tour information, learn about new music not yet updated here on Wikipedia, etc. It's good information to include on musicians.

Below is a list of a FEW Wikipedia sites that have fan links...

Thank you...

My reply
Put them back if you want. I thought they were excessive per WP:EL and WP:NOT. Personally, I think fan site links are not useful and should not be included in an encyclopedia, but I also know that attempting to improve any music related articles in WP is a waste of my time. And using the "But Mom, the other articles have links" argument for music, or any other edit discussion, doesn't add much value. My edit was not aimed at you personally, as no one WP:OWNs any articles. See also the note at the bottom of every edit page If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. &mdash; MrDolomite | Talk 16:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

==== A tag has been placed on Larry Chaney, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page.

Speedy deletion of Larry Chaney
A tag has been placed on Larry Chaney requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 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.
