Speedy deletion nomination of Dan Nichols
A tag has been placed on Dan Nichols 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 band or musician, 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 musical topics.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Westport Youth Film Festival


A tag has been placed on Westport Youth Film Festival 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 club, 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. 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. Pol430 talk to me 17:21, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Duane (professor), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Amazon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

famousbirthdays.com is not a reliable source
Hi Jbbdude. I'm in the process of removing famousbirthdays.com as a source from Wikipedia, because it's not reliable (See Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153). I noticed that you've added it, and wanted to make sure you understood why it's being removed. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 19:11, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. I used it because it was sourced elsewhere. I was seeking a source on this; I saw it in a few places that seemed to grab it from there.Jbbdude (talk) 19:17, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

What level are you?
I found your name at Category:User js (probably because you posted the corresponding userbox on your user page), in the level-unspecified list of JavaScript programmers.

I was wondering how experienced you are at JavaScript, and whether you might be interested in getting involved with developing user scripts, hobnobbing with other JavaScript programmers, and organizing and improving JavaScript articles and support pages.

We do all of that and more at the JavaScript WikiProject.

Scripts undergoing development, and the state of JavaScript on Wikipedia, are discussed on the talk page.

For an overview of JavaScript coverage on Wikipedia, see Draft:Outline of JavaScript and Index of JavaScript-related articles. For everything on user scripts, see User:The Transhumanist/Outline of scripts.

The WikiProject also organizes every resource it can find about JavaScript out there, such as articles, books, tutorials, etc. See our growing Reference library. If you know of any good ones, please add them.

If you would like to join the JavaScript WikiProject, feel free to add your name to the participants list.

Hope to see you there! The Transhumanist 16:56, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Hill. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Alice Ripley page
Hello. Is there a way for us to talk privately on Wiki? I'm the person who deleted the section from her page and the talk page. I read all that you wrote - thank you for that. My first question is what to do about there now being false info/implication on the talk page. You're suggesting I'm Alice Ripley; am I reading that correctly? I'm happy to provide identifying info if that would lead you to amend what you wrote. Second question is because I don't know much about IPs. It may make my above question moot. Alice is in Barcelona, Spain right now. If she indeed edited her Wiki, would it show her U.S. residence or current location? Thanks. I hope you're comfortable engaging. 69.206.242.190 (talk) 18:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I hadn't seen your post on Alice's talk page yet. I mean this sincerely, not sarcastically: Why is her statement never posted on the bio or talk page, over the past nearly-a-year of editing? Isn't that something that should be quoted to create a balanced view? It's sometimes mentioned and sourced, but it's the allegations that are spelled out. Thanks. 69.206.242.190 (talk) 19:15, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
