This is my first time using Wikipedia so I wanted to make sure I followed all the rules. I will take your advice and write a single article first and use the sources I have here.

Thanks again for the info!

Wasilla Assembly of God
Hello, I see you were very active on the Wasilla Assembly of God talk page and I want to ask you have you seen the changes that have taken place over the last day or so. I just want to see if other people share my same concern or am I just letting my own pov get in the way. I'm really concerned about people reading the article with, in my opinion, the obvious pov it has. Do you think I'm right on this?Ltwin (talk) 18:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Regions Financial Corporation
A tag has been placed on Regions Financial Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Nsevs •  Talk  05:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Disregard that, I didn't realize the vandal had blanked the page before putting spam there. Sorry. -- Nsevs •  Talk  05:06, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Alpine club of canada vancovuer section
Hello,

i am trying to start a new page for our club, we got the idea from a current page VOC wiki (vancouver outdoor club). It is not advertising or selling anything. We hope to use it as a resource for Members, non-members and avid outdoors people to leave information regarding weather, trial conditions, trips & Courses and skill development.

Could you please re-activate the page if it fits your criteria or advise me on what I have to do to get it re-activated?

Cheers,

Charlie Banacos article
Hello, An article was written about Charlie Banacos recently and there is a box saying "This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications." Charlie is a world-famous jazz teacher and has taught many famous jazz players. Terms used in jazz education are terms he created. I am confused about how to satisfy what the box at the top of the article is asking for. Thanks for your help! --Jumpn (talk) 03:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

"Drink 1, Give 10" page
(Alexandremih (talk) 17:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC))

Hello,

You just delete my "Drink 1, Give 10" that I posted because you said that it appear as an advertising page. The purpose of the page I posted is to explain the meanning and the benefit of the "Drink 1, Give 10" campaign from a partnership between Volvic and Unicef to provide water in Ethiopia. I would like to know how can I do for not have my page deleted.

Do you have some advices,

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Hi there realkyhick. dont worry about it, im just having a debate with a mormon friend and showing them what you can do on wikipedia. i will take it down later today

The Mobster's World
Hi, I was in the process of creating a new article. As I am new to the site, I was unsure of how to edit and save the articles. Upon reading your criteria, I realized that I did not put the underconstruction tag, which should have been done. I wanted to create a page such as Gemstone IV for this game. I am friends with the owner, and he has given me permission to make a page, and I have all the resources needed for the article. I am not the company and they do not pay me in anyway. I do however realize that I did make the mistake of not reading all of the "Create your first article" documentation, as I realize it would have saved me a lot of grief. You can reach me at nicole.t.le@gmail.com. If it is my login that is an issue, I am happy to create it under my usual login name of Nanumi. Thanks Loonygroup (talk) 18:17, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy tagging of Lotus (rock band)
I have removed the speedy deletion tag from this article. tagging it within 1 minute of its creation was rather hasty, and an article about a band that includes a list of album releases isn't a suitable candidate for speedy deletion anyway. Please consider using maintenance tags in future and allowing sufficient time for an article to be brought up to an acceptable standard. Thanks.--Michig (talk) 18:28, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion
I followed the instructions in Wikipedia and created a subpage on my user page, instead of creating a live page. I was going to ask other editors to help me improve it, then put it live. It seems fine to me, why should it be deleted? --Sebastien. (talk) 17:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok, but that is where all the information came from: his Facebook & official site, the Myspace is included as a link. And who is Sullivan? This is Andrew Allen we're talking about.

Yeah I understand. He's not well known, so thats all I could find on him unfortanutely.

Last November deletion
Last November is a notable band. There is no reason to delete this article. They are currently nominated "Top 40 Group of the Year" by New Music Weekly, a very notable Radio charting magazine. Their current single is at number 63 on the top 100 chart for NMW as well.

They have worked with notable producers, engineers, and mixers such as Steven Haigler (a platinum selling producer who has worked with fuel, oleander, brand new) Rodney Mills (produced Lynrd Skynrd)

The article regarding Userneeds
I have written the following:

By practizing web 2.0 methodologies, the company has revolutionized the way Nordic research agencies make use of samples for online market research. Up until the emergence of Userneeds, larger research companies had sufficed in retaining small consumer panels for market research. The growing need for segment analysis combined with increased problems with panelist loyalty, forced many research companies to expand their incentives budgets in order to keep the panelists in the consumer panels.

Userneeds has chosen a different approach, building on the crowd sourcing principle of knowledge gathering. The primary incentive offered to Userneeds' panelists is information. By stating an opinion, a panelists gets the opportunity to know what others think about the relevant topic.

It was this new and revolutionizing method of gaining panel loyalty, that has made it possible for Userneeds to develop and maintain the largest consumer panels in the Nordic region.

Please let me know, if I need to maker further adjustments.

Conflict of interest
While I am hard at work to provide a more concise statement of the new mobility agenda entry (in my very rare available time) I do have a slight bone to pick with you about your 'conflict of interest' tag. This is not a product, I am not a salesperson, and I do not make money from it. My work on this is purely pro bono. To get a feel for how this works, let me point you to one component of the Agenda: the work we have been carrying out (without funding) to support carsharing in cities. The program is at www.carshare.newmobility.org. And if you click to http://recommendations.worldcarshare.com you will see the testimonials of dozens of people and public agencies in cities around the world who have benefited from our work on this. And it’s only one example. So please, “conflict of interest”. I really don’t think sol

On the other hand, if you feel wise enough about all this, why don’t you just cut the whole thing out. You can do this and I will not quarrel with you about it. Back to work. ericbritton (talk) 15:54, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

New Page Patrolling
Hello. I noticed today that you were doing newpages patrolling but are not marking some of the pages you visit as patrolled.

Sunday night sports wrap
Just an FYI - this article you proposed for deletion has had the template removed. I wasted a few minutes fixing the pile of typos and spelling mistakes before actually trying to read the thing, and it absolutely should be gone. I'd nom for deletion myself, but it's way too early where I am and I'm going back to bed. Majorclanger (talk) 12:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Sunday Night Sports Wrap
I am a little confused because i thought wikapedia was around so that people could post things where they couldn't usually post. I am a student at dean college and when i was told of the page for the sports wrap i thought it was cool. I have listened to every show, and know about many parents that do and that call in. To say that because the links have nothing to do with the website/article you should shut is wrong. the radio station did have a website but because of the college technology they could no longer keep it. There were links that did bring you to the school station web page, and by clicking on that you know it exists. Please do not take this down because everyone that listens to this show thinks its awesome, and its huge resume experience for the kids. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.251.95.10 (talk) 15:25, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

TRGA,

Your comments about TRGA being about selling an organization are not valid. You cannot even purchase anything from their site. A professional event is being played next week in Las Vegas by these rules. These rule are an alternative to the USGA rules that have been destroying golf with technology. Several players were sent this text to post, and I had a few moment to do it tonight.

The TRGA is completely objective and well written. Your quick to jump to conclusions. I see you do this with other peoples sites as well.

Charlie Banacos follow-up
I am wondering if the Charlie Banacos article now meets wikipedia standards. Mr. Banacos is also wondering if we could put some sort of restriction on who can add to his article. Thank you for your time and input. Jumpn (talk) 03:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Restriction? Absolutely not! There is no ownership of Wikipedia articles. No person can dictate who edits an article (except in the case of bans or blocks), and no person can prevent any information that satisfies Wikipedia's guidelines from being added to an article. A Wikipedia article is not a personal home page, blog, or the like. —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I guess I didn't express myself correctly; Mr. Banacos is only worried about people saying erroneous things and how to prevent hurtful things from happening. I did not mean to set off any alarm bells and I regret not expressing the concern more precisely. I can assure you that he is not seeking self-promotion; he is not that kind of person in the least. The article is meant to show his mark in the jazz world. I was trying to prove who he is with the quotes, but I can now see what you mean about the peacock phrasing. Thank you for your time, input and for your patience with a newbie such as myself. Jumpn (talk) 17:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Erroneous additions to that article can be handled like erroneous additions to every article on Wikipedia: vigilance, reversions, explanations in edit summaries and on article and user talk pages, warnings where necessary to people committing outright vandalism. Nothing can be prevented (except further damage by people who have committed enough infractions to be blocked or the occasional protection of an article that is especially subject to vandalism). It has to be fixed after the fact. And there is no protection, and no right of protection, against that which is unfavorable, if it's factual, stated without bias, and supported by the citation of reliable sources. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:59, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Non-encyclopedic content? Theological dispute? Personal research?
In my opinion, you are not being consistent in your evaluation. What is expressed in the article "The Masculine Gender ...," though perhaps inferior in writing style to the article "Comma Johanneum," from which it is linked, is no more non-encyclopedic in content and no more a theological dispute and no more personal research than what is expressed in the article "Comma Johanneum."

In both articles, the subject is the Johannine Comma. In both articles, there is disagreement on whether or not the Comma belongs in the text. In both articles, different sources expressing the various views on the subject are cited. In neither article is the author's personal opinion stated. None of the the three views presented in the article "The Masculine Gender ..." is the author's personal invention. To the contrary, those are in fact the three views that have been held by various people regarding this subject, as confirmed by the two cited sources. That is in fact what is out there.

So what's all this talk about "non-encyclopedic content" and "theological dispute" and "personal research?" If those accusations are true of the article "The Masculine Gender ...," then they are also true of the article "Comma Johanneum." Conversely, if they are not true of the article "Comma Johanneum," then neither are true of the article "The Masculine Gender ...." In applying these accusations to the one article but not to the other, you are not being consistent in your evaluation and you are showing personal prejudice. I submit that the article in question demonstrates more neutrality than do the ones who are making these accusations against it.

As for the writing style, maybe the article is inferior in style. Perhaps YOU should fix it instead of complaining about it and asking for its deletion. I myself don't know how to write it better than it is written. However, the information presented in the article is valid information, and it is NOT personal research, and it IS pertinent to the information presented in the the article "Comma Johanneum," and it DOES cite two sources (Dr. Wallace and Dr. Hills; if you click the links ["pages 331-332" and "chapter 8" in the text of the article], you can read what they say about it yourself) that attest to the three views which have been held by various people regarding this subject, which are explained in the article in question.

I fail to see how the article that I recently wrote should be speedily deleted. I realise that there is a lack of citations, but one must realise that when dealing with colloquial expressions written sources are few and far between (if any exist at all). It is important to realise that just because something doesn't appear on the written page, that doesn't mean it is not fact.

The Lickets
Your removal of the speedy-delete notice from The Lickets did not abide by Wikipedia policy. Merely releasing albums is not a criteria of notability. Many musical groups release multiple albums but are still not notable. Please refrain from using this rationale in the future, as it is contrary to CSD policy. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid you're mistaken with that one. There is a distinction between an article being liable to speedy deletion under CSD:A7 and being non-notable — to avoid speedy deletion, the article need just give the merest hint why the subject might be notable. With respect, I think it is you that needs to read over the speedy deletion policy. Stifle (talk) 17:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No, the "merest hint" of notability is not sufficient. All sorts of bands give mere hints of notability that are obviously not enough to avoid speedy deletion. I have been marking such articles for speedy deletion for years now. I think I know the drill. Since you insist on removing the SD notice, I have ben forced to take the article to the tedious AfD process, where the article will inevitably be deleted. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:35, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Travis Price notability
what about Travis Price do you not find notable? I understand the citation and reference tags, but saying Travis Price is not notable in his field is like saying marlon brando is not notable in his. Do you know architecture? I mentioned in my post that I was going to update the page with citations from the plethora of articles on him. google his name and the NY Times. I find this tagging of articles by people who dont know the fields to be an odd and destructive behavior to the the purpose of the site. Yes the article needs to be cited better as I mentioned in its creation. give me and others who know the field some time. all you do with this is turn people away from adding to the site becasue we feel the work we will do will just be torn down by people with no understanding of the subject and destructive tendencies.

I see so many editors that just like to tear down and not build up. It says a lot. As do all the types of comments from others I see on this page.

In this case though, the facts are that Price is a household name in his field and it is absurd there already isn't a page on him. I have found artist that have had retrospectives at the largest museums without pages on here and now I hesitate to do the work to post them because of editors who like to think they know a subject but all they do is delete and not add

Yes the article needs citations. But clearly he is notable. Ask anyone in the field. Give us some time to build a page for this and please investigate the subject. You will admire his work as all architects do.

PER YOUR PERSONAL ATTACKS ON MY PAGE:

I find it ironic that you seem to accuse others of doing what you do. I am anything but elitist :) I just happen to know the subject.  but you insist on name calling.  keep it to the topic.  Price is notable.  I have shown this, yet you insist on vandalizing the article.  I am going to report this.

I see you have not created a page with genuine content in as far back as i have looked. that says something about you. I am going to see if you can be blocked as others here have pointed out you seem to have some negative control issues bordering on vandalism and are doing a lot of damage on this site. I suggest ou stop being such a destructive force and add to the culture rather than insult other editors with personal attacks. You are wasting my time. Time i could use to edit pages- not tag them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nynewart (talk • contribs) 17:11, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Posting a notability tag is not vandalizing an article by any stretch of the imagination. Reporting such to any admins here will have you laughed off the site. One of my main functions here is what we call new-page patrol, where we monitor mewly-created articles tomake sure they are suitable. As you might guess, we get a lot of new articles that are out-and-out vandalism, puff pieces, spam, articles about garage bands, and so forth. These are speedy-deleted in short order. There are a number of us who perform this function on Wikipedia. Someone has to, and we have volunteered. No pay, no glory, but we do it anyway.


 * Your article about Price does not come to that level, but it does have issues regarding Price's notability that need to be addressed, which is why a low-level warning was placed on the page. (I might add that it was placed by another editor. The tags I placed had to do with specific issues such as primary sources.)


 * I have told you what you must do, and you insist on responding in an uncivilized manner. You yourself aare being a "destructive force," as you call it, by refusing to abide by the few policies we have here. If you insist on continuing such action, you will eventually be blocked. It's only a matter of time. I've been around here long enough to see it happen a number of times. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:42, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have not been uncivil at all. People dont respond well to threats which is what you seem to be about.  It is just rude. I appreciate your work with other weak pages. Really, I  do and that is great. But I believe I have made enough of a case to show Price's notability to keep the page alive without you harassing me. After all you may be a cleaner here, but I am trying to establish something that is missing. My saying you dont know the topic is not an insult.  I dont know high school sports like you do. But to people in this field, Price is probably in the top 10 of living architects. But that is neither her nor there. I know it is about the article. Again, please note that upon the page's creation, i mentioned in the tag that i will continue to work on the page. Only 2 days have gone by since i made the page, and it has more info on it than the vast majority of architect pages here on others in the field who far less noteworthy. (thus my asking you to give me a few days- especially since he is a household name in his field.  I had hoped another editor would pick up on this too.  It is the holidays after all and I am very busy. I believe your tags and insults are now much more about your ego.  the page shows enough notability to exist without your threats.  But let's let others decide this.  I have no interest in reacting to you any further and I have asked for other editors to review it. The time it takes to respond to your repeated threats could be used to work on articles. Your behavior is so disruptive. you could have jsut waited a day or two to see how the page progressed given the holidays.  I request that you cool off and leave the page alone for a few days so others can improve it. Lets move forward and let some editors with subject knowledge add to the page without your threats and rudeness.  Please avoid sock/meat puppetry to continue disrupting this process. thank you  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nynewart (talk • contribs) 20:15, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Notability of The Old Globe
A tag has been placed on The Old Globe 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. Quantumobserver (talk) 04:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi - I asked you very politely if you could please leave my post about Neil Morris - Owner of the Manchester Phoenix, a man that has been involved in professional sport for over half of his life - a professioanl moto cross rider, rally driver etc., owner of 3 successful busineses and most importantly owenr of the Manchester Phoenix. The man brought Ice Hockey back to Manchester when the Manchester Storm folded. He has set up a Junior Development programme helping children get into sports as well as various other charitable events.

Please can you explain to me (rather than juist deleting my additions) how a man that has been this influential in sport in the UK does not warrant a Wikipedia page?

How exactly do I get anythign posted on Wikipedia? This was a work in progress because i dont want to write a full biography on the man if you are going to delet it anyway so i put up part of it. it was in no way finished.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:MarkLowryCD.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:MarkLowryCD.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. Aspects (talk) 17:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Boy In Static updated to fit guidelines
I have added plenty of information to Boy_In_Static to fit Wikipedia's guidelines in Notability_(music). Namely:

"It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries..."

You will see I included articles from national press, including The New York Times, URB magazine, Remix magazine, The Boston Globe, and more. It should definitely be safe from speedy deletion at this point.

Please remove the speedy deletion tags, or I could do it. Thanks for alerting me so quickly to the issue.Mmxbell (talk) 20:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes... I agree that the page I created, Tom Mucciolo, is an autobiography, and it only took a few deletion messages for to figure that out. I also understand that I should let others post notable information about me for this to be an encyclopedia reference in a non promtional manner.

I should have read the guidelines more carefully before typing my bio into Wikipedia as if I were just adding content.

Sorry about that!

So, my question is: Should I wait for the page to be deleted or delete it myself?

Thanks,

Bible Quizzing Articles
I notice that you have edited the section in the Bible Quiz article pertaining to Bible Quiz Fellowship a couple of times, saying that you are fixing promotional language. The problem is that when you do that, it makes the note that I have refer to the number of teams at nationals, rather than where to go for more information. Bible Quiz Fellowship is notoriously slow to update their website, and will not have information on how many teams will be at this year's competition until afterwards, in the form of final results. the BQF website is the proper place to go for complete information on how BQF quizzing works, and the phrase on the end that you deleted said that. Can you help me figure out how to say that properly?

If you have the time, I would also appreciate some help getting an article on Bible Quiz Fellowship up. I posted one that needed a little work, and it was deleted within 11 minutes. I undid that and wrote on the talk page why I believed that it should stay, and it was deleted again. I have been working on finding external sources, but I have only found a couple of news articles, one a blurb from a couple of days ago, and another more lengthy article from 2002. Do you think that would be enough to back up a Wikipedia article? BQF is one of the largest non-denominational quizzing organizations in the US, and probably has the broadest international scope of any Bible Quizzing organization (Jamaica, Mexico, and Mongolia, and some work in Russia, Colombia, and Kazakhstan). Any suggestions? One Wheel (talk) 21:05, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You say that Bible Quiz Fellowship and the other organizations listed on the Bible Quiz page are not notable enough to merit separate articles. Ever since Aristotle the point of a reference work was to be a collection of all human knowledge, generally of a particular subject, but not necessarily. (probably Diderot's Encyclopedie is the most famous, and he tried to include all human knowledge up to that point on the subject of philosophy.) The attempt has always been limited by space and the cost of paper, ink, printing, etc. Isn't the point of Wikipedia that we don't have the limitations of a physical page, so it can be much broader and deeper than any previous encyclopedia? I realize that server space costs something, but then why is every little edit and previous edition of a page saved? Couldn't everything before the last five edits be deleted, thus making room on the same servers for another few million articles? If the problem is that people start at "A" and read through to "Z" and don't want to be bothered with reading more articles, then that's an entirely different problem. Loosen it up a bit. If the article is really bad or completely esoteric then people won't read it. Delete pages that haven't been looked at for a few months, rather than deleting pages you think might not be noteworthy enough.One Wheel (talk) 16:34, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Not to belabor the point, but wouldn't most of the organizations listed on the Bible Quiz page qualify for their own articles under the alternate criteria for non-commercial organizations, provided that someone can come up with one or two non-trivial references in published works? Most of them are national, and BQF and a few others are international. Thanks for your help.One Wheel (talk) 01:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Glenn Beck "controversy"
Realkyhick,

You have not made a good case as to why Glenn Beck does not need a controversy portion. Before deleting the entire section again, please provide a counter argument to the following. Dispute specific points, provide sources.

A. Beck is controversial
 * The point is not to say whether or not Glenn Beck has done anything either good or bad, the point is a sizable portion of the population thinks so. To prove this all I need to do is bring forth enough instances of Beck's television program being criticized. The sources do not need to come from peer reviewed journals, or from non-partisan sources, they simply need to be criticisms coming from widely read commentators/bloggers. I have provided in total five sources in which well known commentators and blogs criticize Beck. Please let me know how many instances of Beck's television show being criticized it will take to illustrate a pattern. Given a short period of time I can provide however many you require.

B. Sullivan's article
 * Sullivan's article refers to "heated, apocalyptic rhetoric of the anti-Obama forces". This refers not to Fox News, but to the commentators and pundits who make extreme claims as to the fate of the country due to the Obama administration. The Glenn Beck program is at the forefront of this. I say this because Glenn Beck fits every one of the descriptors used.
 * heated
 * Glenn Beck features Mr. Beck yelling, often crying, suggesting the government go ahead and "shoot him in the head", going so far as to imitate pouring gasoline on people. I believe this qualifies as heated.


 * apocalyptic
 * Glenn Beck has been featured on the O'Reilly Factor saying he believes that the United States is facing depression and revolution. Glenn Beck has features on his show which instruct viewers on how to survive extremely dire circumstances he claims government policies will bring about. Glenn Beck entertains the idea of states seceding.


 * anti-Obama
 * The detriments of the Obama administration is a constant theme on Beck's show. He refers to Obama not just as socialist but as fascist. It is very difficult to deny that the Glenn Beck program is anti-Obama.

C. A controversy section is necessary and does not violate NPOV
 * necessary
 * Wikipedia should provide information under the assumption that the reader knows nothing about the subject at hand. If Beck's program is controversial readers should be made aware of this fact.


 * does not violate NPOV
 * again, the point is not to dispute any of Beck's beliefs, assertions or actions, it is to illustrate that some people do. If the section does not counter anybody's beliefs it cannot violate NPOV.Crunk04gtp (talk) 15:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello Realkyhick,

I am writing to you to appeal against deletion of Dylan Turner. I have added more evidence to support the article including proof of a release of an album as a lead vocalist. Granted, Dylan is not known globally yet, but compared to some other articles that have been approved on Wikipedia, he has had a lot more experience, including more references. He has worked and starred constantly in london's west end, giving him the experience needed.

Please advise me on how we can sort this out.

I look forward to hearing your reply

I wish the de-prodder had done some of this instead of perfoming a hit and run, but I gave the article some slight cleanup and found a couple bits of in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources.. so I think it now may pass WP:NF.

Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Per WP:NF and WP:GNG: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." I believe I was able to show multiple in-depth coverage of the film in reliable sources independent of the subject. The portions of NF that refer to a film 5 years after it has been made, do not apply. And thanks... I do think it looks better. Best,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 06:19, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Octa-Ball deletion
I am a new contributor to Wikipedia and posted information on a game that is being played around various camps in Michigan (and elsewhere) called "Octa-ball." The information I posted on Wikipedia included only the object of the game and how to play. There was no "advertisement" or "promotion" of any sort so I don't know why my entry was deleted. There is no information found online about the game, so I contacted two camp directors to verify the rules of the game and then posted the information on wikipedia. I have no references to cite except the informational website I put online to describe the game. I'm not selling anything...just informing others how to play the game because it is a lot of fun. Why did this entry get deleted? You should look at the wikipedia entry for "ga-ga." That is the type of entry that should be deleted...not the one I put on for "Octa-ball." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wvadnais (talk • contribs) 18:22, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
