Citation for lowercasing dawn/Dawn Landes' first name?
Please see Talk:Dawn_Landes -- I noticed that you've changed her first name to lower-case, saying "dawn lowercases her first name," but providing no citation for that assertion. Can you provide a citation for use dawn instead of Dawn? Her website (http://www.dawnlandes.com/) and her label's website (http://westernvinyl.com/artists/dawnlandes.html) both appear to think she capitalizes her first name. Rickterp (talk) 22:43, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, but those are megacorps abusing dawn, not knowing any bettah. I will get on it after I come back from a dinner long overdue me.  peas. --Mareklug talk 02:05, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * PS. YOU know, Google is your friend. Why don't you axe it the question in kwestion, something like "Why does dawn Landes lowercase her name", etc.  http://gogoindierocket.wordpress.com/2007/04/10/tube-dawn-landes-and-the-wst-bluegrass-band-young-folks/  --Mareklug talk 02:08, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I already tried Googling "dawn landes lowercase" and got nothing (in contrast, try "bell hooks lowercase" or "k d lang lowercase"), that's why I'm asked you directly about it. I dearly wish Google would allow for case-sensitive searching, but no dice. Rickterp (talk) 21:45, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
 * One more from 2007. http://5acts.com/?p=804 --Mareklug talk 07:19, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Her own (!) current (!) MySpace page. https://myspace.com/dawnlandes -- note the title of the page, as shown in the window title. --Mareklug talk 07:21, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * cover art and Composer credits on every song of her album "Fireproof", as prepared by her herself: https://myspace.com/dawnlandes/music/album/fireproof-18796504, not some frigging dumbfuck marketeer or label or promoter or whoever. Are we done yet? --Mareklug talk 07:25, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Your evidence seems to be links from 2007, liner notes from a 2008 album, and her MySpace page. Aside from the MySpace page (which I would counter with her very current website - http://www.dawnlandes.com/, where she is Dawn throughout). Have you looked at the liner notes from Bluebird? The cover has her name in all caps, but the liner notes have her as Dawn in the musician, producer, and writer credits -- this is her latest album, 2014, not 2007 or 2008. I assume the liner notes and her website are all errors made by people who don't know what dawn wants. Clearly, you're not convincing me and I'm not convincing you -- the references you cite look old to me and the references I cite are just errors made by stupid people who don't know she's really dawn. I suggest a third opinion. Cheers. Rickterp (talk) 13:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thatsounds about right. But rather than having a single third user arbitrate it, I would like it to be settled in a wider arena, the BLP Noticeboard, if it's ok with you. --Mareklug talk 18:12, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Génesis Carmona


The article Génesis Carmona has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * WP:BLP1E: person is notable only for dying the way she did. Being a winner of an event in a regional beauty contest does not make one notable by our standards.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Drmies (talk) 02:07, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I have a feeling you are stalking me. Are you? You seem hell-bent on deleting all my contributions to English Wikipedia that you can make a specious argument for deleting.  Sorry to say, I feel beleaguered by your attention.  Both Agnieszka's Dowry (after its recent fix-up and re-sourcing) and this BLP (the world cultural significance, as documented by worldwide front-page coverage) are notable, well-sourced, well-written, complete articles of Wikipedia, certainly not its dreck that you seem oblivious to in your deletionist efforts, and your efforts to prove otherwise are just driving a huge personal rift between me and you, and I think that is most regrettable, as we have common aims to improve WMF projects, I would imagine. --Mareklug talk 07:31, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Edit War Warning
Your recent editing history at Mac Pro shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Mike V •  Talk  19:35, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Landing area
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Landing area, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.militaryterms.net/l.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Dear bot, f.o.  --Mareklug talk 11:01, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello Mareklug, a couple of comments: First, and most strangely, FreeDictionay is not... free. At least not in the free-to-use way that Wikipedia is. They specifically state here: that they contain copyrighted material, and that such content may not be re-used. Also, it appears that they got this content from militaryterms.net, judging by the copyright dates of the 2 pages. So if you could, can you re-write the "Landing area may be" section in your own words, just to clear out any lingering copyright concerns? Thanks for your contributions! Crow  Caw  20:22, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Is it not sufficienty rewritten already? Please compare the two in the article's present phrasing state.  I think I already knew what you told me, all of it, and the temporary state that the bot flagged was just that, temporary.  I suppose I should have worked on the text in a sandbox, mea culpa.  But as of when I left that reply, or shortly thereafter, I think you would be hard pressed to claim continuing infringement.  Please reconsider your request.  --Mareklug talk 06:37, 23 September 2014 (UTC) PS. After having replied, I went out of my way yet again to further obscure the lexicon in order to assuage your concerns.  Hope that we can lay them to rest at this point.

Orphaned non-free image File:Slow the Rain album cover.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Slow the Rain album 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:53, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Ford island
Just to let you know, I think my style of review is a bit more colloquial than MILHIST is normally used to (and as I noted I wasn't expecting for my comments to be part of an A class review!). If you see comments I've left that end in question marks, feel free to just answer them rather than taking as an implicit sign that the text is insufficient. Sometimes changing the article to obviate the question is a great response, other times you might find that it is easier to say "yes that thing you asked is true" at which point I'll either say "ok, great" or explain why I was confused and offer a thought on the article iff needed.

Thanks for working on this article. It's a great resource. I used to work at pearl harbor and that giant radar station def. blocked my view of the water for quite a while--it's good to see ford island get a detailed treatment in the encyclopedia. Protonk (talk) 02:47, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
