Crack Down Posse
I've successfully argued that your article should have 5 days to prove itself worthy. Make sure you leave the "prod" tag that the administrator other editor has placed on the article, otherwise you might end up getting deleted without notice (I'll help you decide when it is time for the tag to go).

Keep in mind, the Speedy Delete tagger's issue with the article was that it didn't "assert notability". When doing the rewrite, you should make sure you cite reliable references. I noticed a few hits to Canadian news sources when I Googled for "Crack Down Posse". These should help your cause greatly.

Do you expect 5 days to be enough to assert notability? Chovain 01:11, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Something I just noticed: The Crack Down Posse page had already been deleted, and you've recreated it. Just so you know, that's normally considered bad form here.  It's best to discuss it with the deleting administrator (which you can find in the article's deletion log).  You're lucky in this case that no-one got upset.


 * Something you might want to consider in future when creating articles that are going to be initially substandard, is you can create them as subpages of your userpage. Once you are happy that noone is likely to ask for the article to be deleted, you can "move" the page to main article namespace. Chovain 04:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey - Crack Down Posse is likely to have been deleted by the time you read this. I've moved a copy of it to User:ShooterBoy/Crack Down Posse so that you can work on it in your userspace without fear of it being deleted. Let me know when it's ready, and I'll help you move it into the main space. Chovain 04:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Sign Language picture
In regard to your comment on my talk page about the Jehovah's Witness picture in the Sign Language article, I have a few points to make that you might find useful:
 * While Wikipedia strives for neutrality, this does not imply that it ignores the existence of non-universal views. Basically, it would not be right to remove the image just on the grounds that it mentions a religion, nor would it be appropriate to replace it with an inferior image just because the image you provide is religiously neutral. There seems to be a shortage of sign-related images and at the moment, this seems like a pretty good image for the article (unless something better can be found, which I believe it can)
 * The image in not well placed in the article. It does not appear to have any relevance to "Use of signs in hearing communities".  As far as I am aware, JW do not have any beliefs that would lead them to use sign language.
 * I think it would be interesting to have a new section in that article about how religious and social organisations cater to the hearing impaired, and the impact this has on their lives. This image may be a really good fit for such a section.
 * If you want to replace the image, try to find one that shows what is being discussed in that section (Communities using sign-language despite not having hearing impairments). Mark Chovain 01:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
