Well, if my cuts were drastic, so was your reversal! I'll gladly take the Dialectizer and anything else--as long as I don't have to take someone's word for its importance. The article is sorely lacking in encyclopedicness; if the notability of these sections are referenced via inline citations, that would be a different matter, of course. Thanks for keeping me posted, Drmies (talk) 02:25, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of OpenLeaks


A tag has been placed on OpenLeaks 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 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. 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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:24, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Kevin - the fife pictured was made 1869 on and is not from the Civil War
Kevin - The pictured fife is not from the Civil War. It is from after the Civil War - 1869 on. lease go to www.fifedrum.org/sjbaretsky/cgi-bin/Fifes/Cloos.shtml or to www.fifedrum.org to research this. On the page Welcome to the FifeDrum Historical File Pages, it says that the machinery and methods to make tapered metal ferrules on the ends of fifes did not exist until 1869, well after the Civil War. The tapered ends and metal ferrules on the ends are probably Crosby style flute made by Cloos. The marks, etc. are explained on the mentioned web page. eBay sellers frequently sell these as Civil War, but they are not. No Crosby fife has ever been found, and they were marked W.A. Crosby/Boston. There may be reproductions, though. There is a Crosby fife with these markings at the Library of Congress. The fifes used in the Civil War would have been wood, without the metal bands. Or perhaps some were metal? -Vicki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justushw (talk • contribs) 16:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Don't know if that note got through - fife is not from the Civil War
Kevin - I don't know if that note got through to you. The fife you have pictured on Wikipedia is not from the Civil War, because machinery and methods to make the tapered metal ferrules on the ends was not around until 1869.
