Baltimore bus beating
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Baltimore bus beating, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I have proposed this article you have contributed to, Baltimore bus beating for deletion following a recommendation by someone else, but I actually support keeping the information contained within this article, but merging it into one or more other articles. Some of these may include Route 27 (MTA Maryland), Route 15 (MTA Maryland), Maryland Transit Administration, or a new page generally about crime on the MTA Maryland system not limited to a single incident. I very much encourage you to participate in the AFD discussion.Sebwite (talk) 02:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Maryland Terps, re: SIAA/SAIAA
Hi, I wish you had brought your new source to the talk page before editing the article. I still am not convinced one way or the other, though you very well may be correct. However, I feel there is too little hard information on the subject to say with certainty. I won't change what you added unless i can find more material contradicting it though.

Here are some sources that dissent with your viewpoint: Maryland Gridiron Network, the official media guides, and College Football Data Warehouse. That last one especially is particularly vexing, because if you see here:, it has yet another contradictory statement, saying that Maryland was in the "SAIAA" from 1918 until 1921. Another source (the LA82 foundation) specifically states that Maryland was NOT a member of the SIAA.

Anyway, I'll look into it more. Strikehold (talk) 17:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Please wiegh in on the discussion about whether or not to include the category eco-terrorist on this page. Most of the editors there really like the SSCS and don't want bad words like eco-terrorist muddying up the page. --68.41.80.161 (talk) 03:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nathaniel Towson


A tag has been placed on Nathaniel Towson 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 is notable: that is, why an article about that subject 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. philippE (talk) 20:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

A reference problem
Hi! Some users have been working hard on Category:Pages with broken reference names.

Here you added a new reference GGP  but didn't define it. This has been showing as an error at the bottom of the article. " Cite error: The named reference  was invoked but never defined (see the help page). " Can you take a look and work out what you were trying to do? Thanks -- Frze > talk  10:40, 1 November 2013 (UTC) Please ping me



Disambiguation link notification for January 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Paradise, Nova Scotia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page German (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
