Speedy deletion nomination of Fresh Records (UK)


A tag has been placed on Fresh Records (UK) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject, contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and give your reasons on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Mtking (talk) 02:16, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Fresh Records (UK)
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Fresh Records (UK), a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 06:56, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Trailer People
Hi, haven't done that much, just added a pic and added few details. Couldn't find a better cover on the internet to fit the infobox. Would luv to join the film project but am so busy at the moment with my private stuff. In fact, was trying to get a shape to Vášáryová's article, that's why I got to also Trailer People. B (s)well (m)anyway, n thanks for sharing a thought. Btw, u'd keep english articles in EN, and redirect the foreign film titles to EN language. Uzerakount (talk) 07:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Dunno how "the move" works, so I just redirected and left a message to fix it at Cut_and_paste_move_repair_holding_pen Uzerakount (talk) 08:22, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

East German films
Hi, I'm really grateful for your help filling them out.♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:25, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I'll create the rest of them at one point or other but don't want to open the flood gates too much! Some time I aim to transwiki all of the films currently on German wikipedia which might be tricky and produce some doubles, I'll definitely need help on that one! But not at the moment anyway...♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:29, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Isn't there a category for banned films? The Rabbit Is Me♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:06, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

The good thing is that the Argentine oldies I started like The Soul of the Accordion are increasingly appearing in google books and can be expanded a bit...♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Yeah see the source for Kilómetro 111. Its good to see and at last means that some content can be added to some of the films.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:07, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Notable?♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:40, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Notable?. Contains reliable sources...♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:23, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

LOL, its not speediable, I wonder how long it will be before it hits AFD.... Hehe. One could argue though that it is every bit as notable as the Rachel cut which we have an article on. This is more of a spoof more than anything at the shit people are voting to keep nowadays before of "reliable sources". They'll use the excuse of wide coverage in news as encyclopedia criteria to an exasperating level. So why not Bieber's hair I say, has enough reliable sources available eh? LOL I can just see the reason for nominating this for deletion.... somebody'll probably use "I hate Bieber" as a valid excuse to nominate...♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:31, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

OMG User:Prodego thinks its legit and AFD'd it!! Hehe!!♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:31, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to take part in a pilot study
I am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to a short survey. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates only '''5 minutes’’’. cooldenny (talk) 18:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Came across this...
I came across the conversation and was a bit surprised that no one has created the article... specially considering the number of redlinks to the (then) unwritten article. So I spent a few minutes and wrote Betrayal (1929 film). What do you think of a DYK that reads
 * "Did you know... that the 1929 film Betrayal was the last silent film directed by Lewis Milestone and the last silent performed by Gary Cooper?

Wedding dress article
Hi there, I moved the article back to the original title (Wedding dress of Kate Middleton) as the move was controversial (see talk). I recommend Requested moves if you disagree. Cheers, --KFP (contact | edits) 17:27, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Death of Osama bin Laden conspiracy theories
Hello. I am preparing a talk page post. I humbly request your input or suggestions. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:07, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Fake message box trolling
Do you accept that your fake message box wastes the time of people who have problems using a web browser as well as an able-bodied person? Is your joke worth wasting the time of somebody (for example) using a screenreader to slowly read through an already confusing page and have minutes of their life wasted by a trick?

You have now been made aware of one of many reasons why your prank is a potential problem. Given that the only benefit in keeping it is smug amusement, your leaving it there should be considered an act of belligerence, and there's your policy guideline for taking it down.

The fact that you are blatantly daring people to remove it is trolling, and that in itself is not the way to behave here. Even if you weren't spoofing the UI, putting content up with the express purpose of annoying and baiting other users is reprehensible behaviour and should be dealt with in the same way as any other disruption. Wenttomowameadow (talk) 15:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)


 * User pages says: "CSS and other formatting codes that disrupt the Wikimedia interface, for example ... replacing the expected interface with a disruptive simulation, may be removed or remedied by any user." Do you not think this allows other users to remove a simulated new messages banner? PrimeHunter (talk) 17:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

@ Wenttomowameadow. Get on with building an encyclopedia instead of idly perusing people's user pages and then you wouldn't have to be tricked by a fake message.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:25, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Infobox question
Replied in my talk page. I modified the code. -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:23, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I did some edits to check the new module and stopped but just to clarify: You oppose the change of birthdate to birth_date too? -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:39, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * OK! Thanks for clarifying! -- Magioladitis (talk) 09:43, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Err. sorry. I thought you told me to keep changing the parameters but not remove the image/caption. I am confused. Let me read again our discussion. Some other guys had problems of this task being performed by a bot. I 'll probably have to abandon it completely. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:23, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

OK. I thought about it. No more changes to sportspeople infobox and I'll have to start a discussion of the future of the headercolor. I am sorry for misunderstanding our discussion. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:32, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

The Decoy (1916 film)
You seen this attempted delete?♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:23, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Will you now redo the rest?
I do wish you had communicated with me before starting multiple moves to Return (2011 film). Could have avoided the repetitive moving. Will you now go back through "What links here" and correct all those now double-redirected links? --Lexein (talk) 14:02, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Randy Savage
Hi Lugnuts

When you removed the recent death template from the above-captioned article, 13 editors had made changes to the article in the previous 12 hours, and 49 editors in the previous 24 hours. As of now, the numbers are 7 and 44. Moreover, no information on his death has been changed in the past 24 hours. I don't see the article qualifies for the template in any way.

Regards, Bongo  matic  17:38, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The template says "prehaps". Thanks.  Lugnuts  (talk) 17:40, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned, not only is the numerical guidance nowhere close to the articulated threshold, the rationales stated both in the template and the instructions, "some information, such as that pertaining to the circumstances of the person's death and surrounding events, may change as more facts become known" and "the information presented in the article may not be final due to missing/unpublished/uncertain information" don't apply, as no material information about the subject was being changed with the (quickly reducing) edits. Bongo  matic  01:27, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That's super.  Lugnuts  (talk) 06:47, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm so glad you feel that way. A pleasure working with you. Bongo  matic  07:10, 23 May 2011 (UTC) Should you wish to reply, please do so here. I will watch this page for a few days, so no talkback or other comment on my talk page is required.
 * In your recent edit summary, you inquired why I was moving the conversation here. The reason is that I requested (at the top of my talk page, which you twice graced), "if you [wish] to reply to a note I left on your talk page, please reply there—I will check it to see—no need for a talkback or a note here." So in order to preserve the continuity of the conversation, I moved your comments as well as inserted my replies. I had assumed that the edit summaries I left ("move thread") were self-explanatory, but perhaps you don't read edit summaries. Bongo  matic  08:23, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Your talkpage really needs archiving off - so much crap on it, I didn't bother with your Nazi instructions.  Lugnuts  (talk) 08:40, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Excellent suggestion. Done. 09:10, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Film Ambassador for WikiProject MoMA
Hi Lugnuts. I noticed you left a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film; are you interested in possibly filling this role? With your interest in the broader history of cinema, you would seem to be an excellent fit :)--Pharos (talk) 16:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The main goals of the Film ambassador would be to interface between WikiProject Film and WikiProject MoMA on article creation and improvement, responding to requests from museum staff, and assisting students engaged in MoMA educational outreach. It should be noted this would mainly be for older "arty" films, the kind that an institution like MoMA is most involved with preserving.--Pharos (talk) 18:27, 31 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, you don't actually need to be an expert on MoMA; you should just know something about the history and art of film, and as the "Wikipedian-in-residence" I'll take care of all the in-person stuff there.--Pharos (talk) 19:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, you are now officially our Film Ambassador. Welcome to the team! ( of which you are now member #4 :P )--Pharos (talk) 17:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Do you have any thoughts on WikiProject MoMA categories for the film collection? Please see Wikipedia talk:GLAM/MoMA.--Pharos (talk) 02:12, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Film
Thanks for your observation and appreciation. I'm doing more research in another area, so my addtions to slient film are more an extension of that interest. Noticed that the films I was clicking were scare on references and since they were very relevent (and good sources) thought to place them were appropriate. Will continue to do so, but will decline your invitation to join the wikiproject, and thank you for asking... Sincerely, Djflem (talk) 14:42, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is currently a featured article candidate
Hi there, thanks for all the helpful edits you have contributed to The Human Centipede II article, I thought I'd let you know that the article about the first film is currently a featured article candidate!

At the moment I'm trying my best to make positive changes to the article based upon the comments and suggestions on the article review, but any help with this would really be appreciated. The featured article review is here and if you have any spare time it would be really cool if you could have a look at the comments and help make sure the article is meeting the standards that are asked of a featured article. Plus if there's anything you think you can do to help improve the article, or anything important that it's missing, please do go ahead and make the changes!

Thanks for all your help with the article. cya Coolug (talk) 19:52, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
