attributing contributions
Hi OregonD00d,

It looks like you are enthusiastically contributing to Wikipedia and we all thank you for that. Alas, some of your contributions have been reverted. For example, this edit you attribute to Google maps—which is commendable—but there is no obvious way for someone to check the fact given. Please spend like 15 or 20 minutes reviewing the Pillars of Wikipedia, particularly reliable sources and verifiable facts. If you have any questions, ask here. Thanks, —EncMstr (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Katr67 (talk) 04:45, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Blidworth Woods
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Blidworth Woods, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/wildwoods.nsf/LUWebDocsByKey/EnglandNottinghamshireNoForestBlidworthWoods. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Speedy deletion of Mimzy (singer)
A tag has been placed on Mimzy (singer) 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 person or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Pip (talk) 14:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Anti-fashion and tag removal
Hello. Please stop removing the tags I placed at the top of the article you wrote, Anti-fashion. They are appropriate and shouldn't be removed until the issues cited have been fixed. As of this moment, you have four references, three of which don't mention the term the article is about, and one which uses the term generically with no indication that it has common use as the name of the movement or trend that the article describes. Further, the details you mention appear to be thrown together, and without outside evidence it looks like you are using the term "anti-fashion" yourself to describe a trend that you are synthesizing from these details.—Largo Plazo (talk) 14:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

October 2008
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Adhering to Etiquette
I can see that you're becoming an active member of the Wikipedia community, and I welcome you. I want to draw your attention to a situation over at 2000–2009, where you reverted my edit. My edit, which was also a revert, included an edit summary explaining my reversion. This is always a good practice when reverting another editor's work, as it demonstrates that you are not just dismissing their efforts out of hand. Your revert of my edit contained no such explanation, and as you were reverting an edit for which a rationale was provided, it would be courteous of you to leave an explanation as well.

Beyond that, my edit reflected a consensus that has existed on this article for nearly two years. There are reasons, which can be found at extraordinary length in the archives of the article, that the consensus of the editors has been to not create multiple sections within the 2000–2009 article at this time. Before reverting again, I encourage you to read the many months of discussion which preceeded the formatting of the article in its present form.

You have done nothing wrong; we are encouraged to take bold steps in writing this project. But in being bold, we must also recognize that sometimes others will not agree with our edits, and we must give due consideration to their feelings on the matter. This only works because of consensus.

I wish you the best, and look forward to seeing more of your contributions. Cheers. Unschool (talk) 08:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I was going to revert you, but after writing this I went back to the page and found that another editor had already done so. Note that he left an edit summary explaining his actions.  You appear to use edit summaries only about 10% of the time; if you use them more often it will help you work with other editors.  G'day! Unschool (talk) 08:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Eras of rock"
A page you created, Eras of rock, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. --RedHillian | Talk 22:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Aboutmovies (talk) 23:37, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Rock music and related articles - a supportive comment
Just a comment, because I hope that you're not discouraged from editing by all the comments above. Unlike, say, forests in Oregon, which is a topic which probably doesn't have that many active editors, an article like Rock music probably has thousands of editors who would all like to change and improve it so that it's closer to their own views. That makes it even more important than usual, in my view, that changes which have the potential to be contentious are discussed on the article talk page, so that a more robust and well referenced article can be developed through consensus. Looking through the comments above, I can see I'm agreeing with Unschool on etiquette, so I hope you can take note of the advice you're getting from everyone. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

New Wave revival
I've put a proposed deletion tag on New Wave revival. It's not because I think it's inappropriate for Wikipedia, but more that this information would be better placed on the New Wave music page, with New Wave revival made into a redirect.

This looks familiar
haha... I see you have about as many deletion templates as I did when I started out on Wikipedia. But I feel that I should mention that you probrably should cite a few sources, it keeps these other guys from deleting your articles.

In regards to the Category:2000s fads page, I'm trying my best to keep it from being deleted again by providing sources on the discussion page of that article. Make sure you post your sources there so that they don't delete it.

I do however disagree on whether or not Facebook, MySpace, and Family Guy are "fads"; they are still popular now, you really cannot tell what is a fad and what isn't until you see it in retrospect. Social networking sites are not really fads because people will always use them from now on. I won't take them off, just make sure you find a source supporting it.

If however the page is nominated for deletion (AGAIN), then I will delte the stuff that is not sourced so that the page will survive, OK? See ya... (Tigerghost (talk) 17:19, 17 November 2008 (UTC))

Notability of Adam Weaver
A tag has been placed on Adam Weaver requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:31, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of New Years' 2010
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article New Years' 2010, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * Total speculation, no encyclopedic content, adds nothing useful to 2010s

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

No content in Category:Forests of South Dakota
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Forests of South Dakota, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Forests of South Dakota has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Forests of South Dakota, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

AfD nomination of Anti-fashion
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Anti-fashion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Anti-fashion. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
