Speedy deletion nomination of C. W. Schultz
A tag has been placed on C. W. Schultz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  ttonyb (talk) 03:24, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Yeval


The article Yeval has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable book lacking GNEWS and GHits of substance. Appears to fail WP:NOTBOOK.

While all 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. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  ttonyb (talk) 03:26, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

 Thanks for uploading File:Yeval cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

The Blue Comet
I'm afraid we'll have to stick to what's customary for television episodes, not Sopranos episodes. The Sopranos episode articles are very, very old and has not been updated to fit with the new guidelines. See WikiProject Television/Style guidelines. Also see featured articles "Meet Kevin Johnson" and "Through the Looking Glass". I'm trying to write "The Blue Comet" to FA status (though I admit work has been slow as of late) and it would never pass with guest stars like that.–FunkyVoltron talk 12:01, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you could do it like in the "The Stolen Earth" article.–FunkyVoltron talk 14:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Some actors were missing from the list. Also, I'd like to keep it like that since that's how it's done in the other Sopranos articles I'm working on. Don't worry, I'll update them all to that kind of list in the near future. If it bothers you, feel free to change it back but keep in mind that any of the two styles are accepted.–FunkyVoltron talk 16:19, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Scream 4 cast table
Are you kidding me? Please tell me (please I really want to know), why it is necessary to have a character listed as "being mentioned or referenced". The whole concept of cast and character section is to show the main characters, and definitely not a character that played another character in a movie within the movie. I mean really, the whole table (and page) is a big train wreck and I tried to clean it up by removing unnecessary, irrelevant and redundant "chunks", and where you have "character is unconfirmed for Scream 4. REALLY? Then why is it even listed?  Not the mention the whole table is hard to read or comprehend.  It's just one big mess as far as I'm concerned.  But I guess that you know more about Wikipedia than I do.  I really don't see that page reaching a GA/FA or even a B with that mess.  I think we should get a third opinion.   -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 03:24, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Oh about CRYSTAL.. ugh the article says nothing about Neve or any character returning.. the most I've read about the current status of production in the article is "Writer Kevin Williamson is writing the fourth film and has said that it is part of a new trilogy."  Unless I totally just missed it.  Maybe you should update that.. contradiction much? Thank YOU. -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 03:28, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * And what edit war would this be that you speak of? After you reverted my changes, that was it. I didn't revert yours!  I expressed my how I felt about the situation, I'm sorry you took it as an insult.  I didn't know I messed the table up, but ok.  It's a shame I even had to erase the Scream 4 data to start with, but ok.   The characters I'm talking about are the characters that appeared in the fictional movie Stab.  And "Reporter".  Seriously? Sorority Sister Lois, etc.. :-\   It's quite obvious in this case that the 5 characters that are in every movie are the "main" characters.  The killers that portrayed the Ghostface moniker would be "main characters".  It should be noted that this pertains to the TABLE.  If you noticed I placed the main character article at the top of the table, that's where the rest of the cast/characters should be place.  I guess you missed that detail.  Also it's encouraged and quite logical to wikilink the characters to their proper pages within the table.  But looks like you run the show, I was just being bold, because I figured no one else felt like going through the process of doing it.  I figured someone would appreciate that task.  Again, I was shockingly wrong.  -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 08:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * How could you NOT find adding a link to all of the characters bios to be helpful -- is beyond me and my 20 year existence to this earth. So you don't want to link to a page that you think is of low-quality (from your response about me wikilinking the character to the Scream character page)? Um ok, that makes sense -- how will other Wikipedains know the page exists or needs updating if you don't link to it.    Most GA/FA doesn't even have a cast table.  Something to think about.    Oh and at this point I could care less about getting "votes" -- which is not even how Wikipedia reaches consensus mind you.  Because it's people like you that are so close-minded to other people's suggestions, that it's just a lost cause to contribute to an article that does not fit their preexisting expectations.  Done, thank you and good day. :-) -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 21:55, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

R. Budd Dwyer
I am 100% positive that the word offend is the correct word. Having done some Internet research on Budd Dwyer's suicide, virtually every website I visited that documents the suicide has him quoted as saying "Please leave the room if this will offend you" to the crowd. So based on all these websites, my instinct says that offend is the correct word. In the video, the crowd had begun crying out to Budd when he uttered the "please leave the room if this will offend you" sentence, almost making it sound incoherent in some places. So because the crowd was talking over what Budd was saying, he sounds like he was saying affect, but offend is what he was actually saying.

Fair use rationale for File:McMarthy.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:McMarthy.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Unplugged
A bit like that is only notable if reliable secondary sources discuss it. Without reference, it doesn't even belong in the article body. It's trivia. WesleyDodds (talk) 04:19, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Ben Bridwell
While Band of Horses satisfy WP:MUSIC, individual members of notable bands do not necessarily pass these criteria. In this case, this individual is notable only for work associated with the band and so does not warrant a separate article. As per WP:MUSIC: Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article.

Henri Ducard
Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Don't know if you'll even read this, as it doesn't appear that you read my edit summary. You need to read the verifiability policy and learn that specific, reliable sources are necessary for all content. The way you see things, or "common knowledge" isn't good enough. Quote: The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true.

ArtistScientist (talk) 03:01, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * The reference must be specific and reliable. User-generated content like IMDB isn't acceptable. And it must say it about the film version of the character, not any other version, like the comics, because characters get reinterpreted when they are adapted for film. I don't think you're going to find any though, because at no point in the film does the character refer to himself as Henri Ducard, and the credits only list him as Ducard. It's possible that the novelisation calls him Henri Ducard, but you must say that it comes from the novel and not the film. ArtistScientist (talk) 04:15, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * There are reliable sources in there, but the citations have to link directly to them. I'll fix this, because the grammar is still ambiguous as well and the sentence still incorrectly states that Ra's attire isn't used in the film (it is used with the second decoy). However, you can't use the similarity you perceive between two pictures as a reference, because this is original research. Our own conclusions aren't allowed. The conclusion that the same appearance is used must be reached by someone else. ArtistScientist (talk) 04:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Margaritaville
I think a source is very necessary because without one, the information is not verifiable: it may seem obvious to many people, but the fact is, at no point in that episode does Shary Bobbins actually say she is singing Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville", therefore to say that that was what she was singing, needs a reliable source to prove it. As for the source you provided, The Simpsons Wiki is not a reliable source, because it is a wiki. I'd like your point to be included, but I can't find a reliable source to support it. If you can, and it's possible there may be one, then yes, it must certainly be included in the article. But it does need a source. Thanks, Gran2 22:17, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Honest Man
I was just removing the film as per the talk page. One of the people in charge of the Dwyer page said:

"Until you finally release the film, I don't think it's notable either. Anybody could've compiled that teaser trailer, film or no film. Until you finally release it, since this was supposed to be done in the Fall of 2007, and/or it appears on IMDb, it should be taken out of the article. Thank you and I look forward to the film, if it's ever released."

As stated on the "official" webpage The film has not been released and looking on IMDB it hasn't been added. It could be a clever hoax for all we know. As for Crystal Ball it states, "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place" Maybe I'm missing something on the webpage but I don't see any dates or film times. -- Esemono (talk) 06:37, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Scream 4 filming?
Do you know when Scream 4 will begin filming? I was about to upload the new poster but I see there's no standalone article for it.  Mike  Allen  04:49, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It's going to start filming next month, then I believe it merrits it's own article. The reason I say that is because Transformers 3 hasn't started filming (but will in May) and it made it through a proposed CSD. We have some good sources to be included in the article.  What do you think?  It still risks being put through an AfD though.   Mike   Allen  22:34, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I just saw your message. Usually it's written like this:  Scream 4 (styled as Scre4m) is a 2011 slasher film.  [See Se7en] Or something like that.  This is per MOS:TM.  But make Scre4m a redirect to Scream 4.   Mike   Allen  01:29, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll read over it tonight. Maybe no one will hit it with an AfD until then.   Mike   Allen  22:15, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. I removed some rumors and contradictions and gave it a little tweaking. ;-)  Mike   Allen  04:20, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Ugh, now they are saying filming is to begin in July.  Mike   Allen  14:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Take it easy man. Someone completely unfamiliar with Wikipedia, especially if they are a child, may not be aware of the nature of the project. We really can't be sure of the nature of the person either. That's why I think a "Welcome to Wikipedia" response should be used for a user's first edit. I assure you I didn't even remember any past history with you when I left the message, although I noticed on my talk page afterwards there was some temporary disagreement we had about Henri Ducard that ended up resolved. I don't know what else to say, I just didn't think the user needed to be warned so harshly on their first edit. ArtistScientist (talk) 01:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Scream table
I'm in and out of Wikipedia at the moment. But I looked at the table and the reason some cells are bigger than others is because of the character names being long. Like "Maureen Roberts-Prescott Reena Reynolds (pseudonym)". That long name stretches that cell and the rest of the cells on that row keep that size. Some people want the font size to stay at 100% for accessibility, but you can change it to at least 95% and see how it looks or just make the character names smaller. I just went ahead and added the sources because it can be challenged by someone. I guess better safe than sorry.  Mike  Allen  01:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Lamb on the Lam in the City
Yeah, this doesn't really add anything to the album in my opinion. Musically it sounds pretty similar to the tune of Detlef Schrempf, maybe it was an instrumental "bit" they had lying around as an intro or outro for the song that they decided not to use. I can almost guarantee we'll never find out as Bridwell is notoriously private about revealing song meanings & lyrics etc. Great album though! Iangurteen (talk) 10:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Band of Horses
Hi, gotta be quick, just off on holiday!


 * "Detlef..." was a working title for a song about Bridwells feelings about Seattle, he couldn't bring himself to change it, even though it's nothing specifically to do with the basketball player.
 * Tour EP is like gold dust, never seen one on ebay!
 * My knowledge of chord progressions is up there with my knowledge of astro physics, but Brooke wrote "Barn" and Bridwell wrote "Monsters" so musical and lyrical links may be coincidental.
 * "Barn" and "St Augustine" are never performed as they are Mat Brookes songs, which is a shame. Hopefully "Annabelle" and "Neighbor" will be worked into the set, "Neighbor" would be a great show closer.

Re: Trudy
Hi - I am returned from Iceland, bizarrely with sunburn! I of course legally bought Infinite Arms on the day it came out, but confess to having a copy about a month previously which had Neighbor as Bartles and Jaymes - which could just be a guess, but For Annabelle WAS titled Trudy - given the fact that Dilly and Factory were titled correctly (impossible to guess!), I suspect that Trudy WAS the band's working title for the song, but I have no earthly idea why! Sadly I missed the London show this week because of my holiday, can't have everything I guess. Iangurteen (talk) 10:39, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Re:annabelle
Just found out that Annabelle is probably Bridwell's daughter (aah) maybe they were going to call her Trudy! Iangurteen (talk) 14:47, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Laredo
Hi, read your comments on my talk page with interest. At least I got to see BoH when they were here earlier in the year and will be seeing Grand Archives for a 2nd time in August! Just one query, the chart position for "Laredo" you changed. According to Billboard's site it DID get to #34. I remember it debuting at #37 but then rising. Billboard do have the odd mistake in their stats, but I think here they're probably right? Iangurteen (talk) 07:19, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Laredo (Chart pos.)
Hi Randy, as mentioned above I've reverted the edit re "Laredo", if you go here you can see the song is at #34 now. Regards, Ian. Iangurteen (talk) 07:09, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Paragraph Deletion
Hi Randy, thanks for keeping an eye on the article and putting that paragraph back in. I've no idea why someone saw fit to delete it?!? All the best, Ian. Iangurteen (talk) 10:07, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Re: Deletion
Randy, have some interesting news re that paragraph that keeps getting deleted but I can't really put it on wikipedia. If u go to my website. then click on the mail logo u can send me an email and I will email you back with the info. It's good stuff!

Re Early & Meinig departure
Randy, I take your point but I have toned things down a bit in the contentious paragraph. Hopefully we can leave it at that, but I fear the paragraph will "disappear" again. Ian. Iangurteen (talk) 16:13, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Re Q TV Video
Hi Randy, I had seen some of the QTV interview but not that bit, thanks. Man that DJ can be annoying, you should see him interview Rush, ten minutes of fawning over them, some reading directly from a script! He's much better when he's just chatting to the band. Anyway, I enjoyed watching this, thanks, Ian. Iangurteen (talk) 05:19, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Scream
It is not redundant. Every other wikipedia page based on a movie has the same layout, mentioning what country it is from and the cast. Mentioning that it was part of a movie series had to be placed at the end for better structure of the section. Do NOT undo the edits without further contributing to this discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwhite148 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey slick... advice needed.
Slick,

I need your help with a vandal. I'm not experienced enough to know how to prevent the continual removal of relevant and correctly cited information from the wiki for Edinburgh Academy. Replacing and tweaking material last night (and responding to the objection of the person who keeps removing stuff) led to its removal (again) this morning with the edit summary: 'give it up' which is almost as unhelpful as calling someone a twat. I have suggested finding a concensus, arbitration. What can I do if the person continues to vandalise the page? Protection? ANI? I don't know how these tools work.

Help me Obi-wan. You're my only hope.

The Great Salt Lake
Nice one!!! I think that's only the 2nd article on a BoH song. Just wondered if ref #6 might be amended or deleted as the page it links to is only available to subscribers? Regards Iangurteen (talk) 15:32, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Randy, I'll have a look at the refs in The Great Salt Lake when I've got some more time. Iangurteen (talk) 18:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Scream 4 script drama
Hi Randy. So have you read all the Scream 4 drama? I don't know what to believe or how to add it into the article. I'm thinking to wait until it dies down because it seems the media is blowing it all out of proportion. What do you think?  Mike  Allen  22:40, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * About this. I wasn't sure that we were supposed to add other names other than our own.  Or I would have added yours. :)  Mike   Allen   22:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

The Blue Comet
It does not warrant its own section; it goes in plot. My intention is to write it to FA status within the forseeable future – it's long overdue. And thank you.–FunkyVoltron talk 17:59, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
