The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.twitter.com/adamhollioake. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cricket Challenge


A tag has been placed on Cricket Challenge, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business 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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Warfieldian (talk) 03:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Battle of the Stars


A tag has been placed on Battle of the Stars 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Adam Hollioake
Hi. I've rejigged the last section of this again to remove some of the more promotional language and rationalise it a little (oh, and aboid the use of br's - no real need for that on wiki fwiw). You argued that the Gold Coast article (which didn't look like "spam" to me btw) is subject to a court case? It's a shame as it's one of the few sources we have discussing anything to do with Hollioake in recent years from an evenly remotely neutral sounding perspective. I wonder if you can provide a link of some kind to the action being taken against Gold Coast or to the legal proceedings going on in general - that all seems to have been out of any press that I can fine. Amongst other things, we could use a verifiable cite for the Greatest Athlete bit.

Oh, I also removed the bit about being brave after a hamstring tear (or whatever), simply because I could't find any reference to it and, given the article had an awful lot of puff in it previously I'd be concerned that this was just more of the same unless someone can cite it. It's really the puffiness of much of the previous writing that I'm concerned about 0 the old cry wolf thing isn't it? Anyway, get back to me on the Gold Coast thing if you can. Cheers.

 * Oh, forgot - do you know if he was really in a movie at all? IMdB suggests he was, but sometimes these things get mistaken. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:48, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey - as a recent contributer to the Adam Hollioake article I'm letting you know that I've requested comments regarding some of the issues surrounding the subject at WP:BLPN. Cheers Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I wont change it back, i will let you see if you think fit of the changes or alterations.

B:dont know if this is where i comment on this but yes he was in a film, he was in two fists one heart as Jake Wakka, he is a friend of Rai Fazio who was in the movie. I know this as a: ive seen the movie and B he is a friend of mine.

The reason also why i removed that quote on being sued is that it really isnt a nice thing that he has had to go through with the idiot who is behind all the mis information. Im sure you wouldnt like your whole life spread out for people to read especially when parts of it are lies and people who think they know you want to promote as much of the bad as they can.

I am all for a rounded piece on Adam Hollioake, i just hate it when people try and make the article biased, as you said, but before it was biased in parts to showing him as a bad person or failure.

He did tear his hamstring on sportstars and seeing as he was there, he can contribute to wikipedia as to that being the truth.


 * Needs a citation though really - if there's something in any of the press stuff from then it'd be handy. I think what we have something reasonably balanced just now, certainly given the difficulty in wading through the various layers of misinformation. If there are good sources for other notable stuff then we could certainly use adding them - but if it's notable and if it can be cited, which is why, in general, I think much of the legal stuff is by the by just now.
