User talk:Ravenhull

Unless I'm mistaken, you asked somewhere else whether you should just accept the losses to Star Fleet Universe coverage as inevitable or rally to defend what you have. I say to you: Rally! These are the actions of a single and disturbingly trigger-happy user, not the inescapable cold hand of deletionism come to bring down all that stands against it. --Kizor 01:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Lyran Star Empire
A tag has been placed on, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a. If you can indicate how Lyran Star Empire is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template hangon underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Lyran Star Empire saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please feel free to use deletion review, but do not continue to repost the article if it is deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions.

Star Trek ship classes
The main problem that you faced was that your sources were sstrcitly non-canon (i.e. not from the screen series, but from secondary or tertiary authorities). It is the same frustration that was felt when the ships in the original Tech Manual were overtaken by the "History of Spaceflight" book, and that, in turn, was overwritten by TNG and by ST:E.

Also, since one man's meat is another man's poison, there will always be things that you think are non-fancruft which somneone else will fightr for tooth and nail, and things they detest that you support. This being so, the argument of "What aboutt hat article over there" is, in Wikipedia, the equivalent of a hopeless last-ditch, rather than a stalwart defence.

My sympathies, and please continue to contribute -- Simon Cursitor 08:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Your reversion of User:Den-dede's edit to 2007 Tabasco flood
I agree that the text in question did not belong in the article. I put that text in the Tabasco article. I would urge you to encourage prospective Wikipedia contributors by helping them get their text in the right place if it is encyclopedic but just in the wrong article. I know it takes more time than reverting but it can be quite off-putting to a new user if their text is simply deleted rather than fixed and put in the appropriate place.

Thanks!

Mobile, Alabama
Thanks! I think that the grammar and such is still weak in a least a few spots and that is certainly not my strong suite. I've have my significant other read it a couple of times but his grammatical skills aren't much better than mine.(though compared to some of the crap I've seen on here, mine doesn't seem too bad) Otherwise I'm not sure, the intro may need more work, I've had the hardest time with it but it finally seems to be getting close to WP:LEAD standards. I hope that I've made it as inclusive as possible and haven't overlooked anyone. Just giving it an honest indepth assessment from your perspective would be a help, I look at it and it all begins to blur together at this point. I don't want to go too far and start screwing it up either, I been in summarizing and removal mode, which can be dangerous. I don't want to renominate it myself again, I got my feelings hurt last time(but I did see his point after I was done being offended and taking it personally) Altairisfar (talk) 10:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, I finished that Amtrak reference, check it for accuracy, but I think you already had the basics there. Thanks for helping and please keep it coming.  Altairisfar 23:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Despite what I said above, I decided to go ahead and renominate the article for WP:GA again, I hope that it can at least not be quick-failed this time. Altairisfar 07:44, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Alpha Octant
Another editor has added the  template to the article Alpha Octant, 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).

Orphaned non-free image File:Shadowrun4.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Shadowrun4.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 08:20, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:18, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
