Typo redirect 'Chris Burnett Quartet'
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on 'Chris Burnett Quartet', by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because 'Chris Burnett Quartet' is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting 'Chris Burnett Quartet', 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.

My Rfa
I wish to thank you for being supportive of my effort to regain my adminship. Though it was not successful, your support was still very much appreciated. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Thank you!--MONGO 06:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Peyton Manning FAC
Is there anything I should work on before I submit the article for FAC? I'm still not planning to do so until after the Pro Bowl, but I wanted to know if you knew of anything I should work on until then. You turned out to be right about the peer review process; it was worthless. All I got was a useless automated review and an act of vandalism. Thanks for your help. Dlong (talk) 02:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll definitely give the article a thorough going-over this week or weekend and leave comments on the talk page. --W.marsh 14:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Treehouse of Horror XIX
The page as it is is complete nonsense. There is nothing true about it. No such episode has yet been confirmed. Such pages are speedy deleted all the time, why can't this one? -- Scorpion0422 17:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Because it does not fall under any speedy deletion criteria. We have other deletion processes, WP:PROD and WP:AFD. --W.marsh 17:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Superflat Monogram
I'm not sure if you intended it, but your post nearly sounded like a threat. If you feel an action of mine was incorrect, please, by all means, come and tell me and we can discuss it. However, please do not threaten me to "restore it or I'll take to DRV." That kind of language is hostile and unnecessary. CSD isn't about what's actually written, it's about the spirit of the policy. It is for articles that would unquestionably be deleted if met with review by the full community.

The article in question met that standard; it was a non-notable ad campaign that was poorly sourced. In fact, I debated whether to delete it under G11, before deciding that A7 would suffice. There is a "web content" clause of A7 that I imagine would include this type of content, though the article was written so poorly and without context that I'm unsure where this ad even appeared.

If you feel this article should be undeleted, please feel free to bring to WP:DRV; my decision stands. --MZMcBride (talk) 17:09, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Peyton Manning
Don't be foolish. You and I both know he didn't write them (the quotes in the advertisements). Further, your argument is that they establish who he is and the sponsors he represents. Based on that argument, no one who has read to that point needs reminded he's a football player and represents those sponsors. Further, the ONLY hilighted quotes in the entire article are quotes he speaks in ads and didn't write himself. I'm trying to maintain proper standards. From your history, people sure seem to make changes to Peyton Manning that you don't seem to agree with and revise.--Wikifier (talk) 00:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The quotes are pretty well known part of Manning's reputation, even if he didn't write them (but to say so just because we think he didn't would be original research - we'd need a source). You can seek further consensus on the talk page or WP:RFC though... --W.marsh 00:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

witzke deletion
You don't find Christopher Witzke relevant? Being is I am Christopher Witzke, I disagree with you deleting me from wiki!
 * What page are you talking about? I need a direct link... there's no deleted page at Christopher Witzke. I'm not a mindreader. --W.marsh 19:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Proto metal
If I remember correctly I think it had a hyphen. Thats going back into 2006... my Wiki memory gets pretty thin going back that far. I still used an account back then!?!.... that WAS a long time ago :) . 156.34.219.91 (talk) 01:27, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * PS I there was a "traditional metal" article back then too? They may have been nom'd together? If it was just a consensus vote then my memory is shot? I know it was re-directed and that anytime anyone tried to re-create it... it was just rv'd back into the re-direct. 156.34.219.91 (talk) 01:30, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If all of the others were re-directs then this one must be too I would guess. As an anon I don't get the "fast" button. I hope I can remember how to spell :D . Thanks for the fast follow-up. I am "Libs"(that's what people call me because I am a librarian) As you can see I am also a stubbornly staunch anon. It means I have to take the long road sometimes. But I still get things done :D . Have a nice day! 156.34.219.91 (talk) 01:41, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Again, thanks! 156.34.219.91 (talk) 01:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

A nice concrete prot will make things a little easier I think! I know a couple-a-hundred-thousand other re-dir.... oh... that's OK :)... Wikipedia wasn't/won't be built in a day. :D 156.34.219.91 (talk) 01:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Gunter's Space Page
Hi, I'm slightly curious as to why you deleted this article, when the consensus at Articles for deletion/Gunter's Space Page was to keep. Could you shed any light on the matter. Thanks. -- GW_SimulationsUser Page 22:48, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Most people who wanted to keep just said stuff like "per above" which isn't very helpful. The usefulness of the sources in meeting WP:WEB was questioned and no one really seemed to explain how they did represent non-trivial coverage by reliable sources, as required. --W.marsh 20:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, presented sufficient evidence that it met WP:WEB criterion 3. -- GW_SimulationsUser Page 09:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Hola mi amigo viejo
Hello Mr. Marsh, long time no speak. This is Joe Powers. I was bored at work, browsing through Wikipedia as I often do, and I noticed that you were an active contributor to the Louisville entry. A perpetual slave to curiosity and nostalgia, I figured I'd send you a message and see how you're doing. How are things? How is your family?

In any case, feel free to e-mail me at jepowers@gmail.com. We don't have to become best friends or even e-mail often, but I'm always interested in seeing how old friends are doing.

cheers, Joe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.15.76.98 (talk) 17:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm looking for information about "THE DO", and all I can find is the wikipedia entry that you deleted.

Unfortunately, google doesn't have it cached. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogear (talk • contribs) 05:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

you are unreasonably harsh on people here.

Giant pics
Hey! Thanks for uploading. I have been constantly touching up the Eli page and have used that photo on the article.

Now, I'm not too keen on how Flicker and Wikipedia Commons works, but I noticed you gave credit to this photographer. I also noticed this same person has A LOT of Giant photos from the parade which could be used to help augment the current player articles, as most player do not have their own photos. I was wondering how to go about obtaining the okay to use this guys pics? Can I just take em? Does he need to say which can be used or not? Any insight (or help) you can give me would be greatly appreciated. --Endless Dan 23:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * He used the cc-by license for his images, which means we can use his images if we give him credit. So as long as it says "some rights reserved" on the image page, and links to, then it's okay to use the images. You can technically upload them directly to Wikipedia, if you want. --W.marsh 00:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Awesome! Thanks! --Endless Dan 13:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Endlessdan (talk • contribs)


 * Hey, I uploaded 1 pic here. Is the licensing correct? If you can adjust whatever is incorrect, I will follow suit with all other pics I upload. --Endless Dan 23:30, 7 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Endlessdan (talk • contribs)

I made a minor change... the license banner should show up on the image page. It should be okay now. --W.marsh 23:32, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool! I'll upload other pics later. Thanks again!! --Endless Dan 12:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Endlessdan (talk • contribs)
 * One last question (!!), could I use the pics I upload (or any CC pic) on my user page? --Endless Dan 13:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Endlessdan (talk • contribs)
 * Yes, it's a pretty free license... you can do whatever you want with the image so long as you show attribution for who created the original, and in this case the image page has that attribution so you can use any CC-BY image on your userpage. --W.marsh 20:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just saw that the article I wrote on The Misshapes was deleted by you. I'm not very wikipedia-savvy but would like to know why you deleted it and how I can get it back. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Misshapes article (talk • contribs) 02:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
