Red-linked fiddlers
Hey, you may have seen what I just did to List of fiddlers. I bet a lot of them were indeed non-notable, but I saw some that were notable enough to at least discuss. When I find time, I'll try to go through the list one by one, looking for mention of them elsewhere on the web. For example, Donnell Leahy, among others, ought to be kept. __Just plain Bill (talk) 14:11, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Nothing is ever lost in the wikipedia. All the work you did is still there in the history, and can be recovered. I saw a few spam links myself, and as time permits, will help with the pruning. Just being a redlink isn't grounds for deletion, IMO; let's pick them off one by one. My blunt object of choice is a google search. If all I find is a prize-winning high school player, out they go. It may take some time, since I've got a few projects going in reach-out-and-really-touch-it space. I do agree that lots of the ones you took out probably don't belong on the list; just had issues with the shotgun approach of taking out all redlinks. Cheers! __Just plain Bill (talk) 14:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

That user and his Mysteria Records is a pain. However, I don't think is appropriate as it doesn't apply to speedily-deleted articles. I've changed it to something more appropriate. My request to have him blocked for vandalism doesn't seem to have been approved, unfortunately.  J Rawle  (Talk) 19:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Wim Goossens
Richhoncho: Please would you be so kind to help with the contents at the head of the Article of Benedictus Buns. It seems unfortunately not to work automatically. Thank You!! Buns is a Priest. Perhaps this is not the right way, but I feel so sorry am a Dutch Wikipedian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wim Goossens (talk • contribs) 20:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Of course my English is not the Oxford style, but I give it a try. All English corrections in Buns are welcome. I do not know how to sign--Wim Goossens (talk) 21:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Wim Goossens

Thank you for your help, as so far. Much appreciated. --Wim Goossens (talk) 12:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC) Wim Goossens

Of course all texts have its references in the mentioned articles. And Buns is important for the Netherlands and the Dutch music history. I will make some references. I hope I can technically execute them. --Wim Goossens (talk) 13:47, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Wim Goossens

How to handle with the red links, they are all in de Dutch Wikipedia!!!?? --Wim Goossens (talk) 13:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Wim Goossens

YES thank you it works I got it! Wim Goossens  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wim Goossens (talk • contribs) 14:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Professional Speakers Association
You have commented that this entry "reads like an advert", which is not the intention. As President of the Association, I was asked to add the entry merely to inform readers about the professional body. Could you advise what action is required to provide an article that simply informs, rather than advertises? Many thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevensa (talk • contribs) 09:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Al Perkins (children's author)
Hi Richhoncho

Not going to dispute the notability of the above-captioned individual, but don't agree that the stub created reads like an ad. Hard to imagine anything more neutral and closely linked to what might be considered notable information about the man. I'd hoped that some children's book enthusiast would be able to provide more detail, but that has not (yet) occurred.

Thanks,

Downfall (band)
Hi - I would recommend that you check an article's history before adding a speedy deletion tag. The original article (which survived AFD) had been replaced with an article about a non-notable band before you tagged it. Thanks.--Michig (talk) 21:18, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Give articles a chance
Please give chances to new articles before speedy deletions. I noticed that you are trigger happy with deleting and tagging articles that should be deleted when i have visited your own article @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Richhoncho and its a personal page praising yourself.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

You're right, it's a hoax. I've taken it to AfD here. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:21, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Zobin Baygan
...and here's another hoax you've found for me! At AfD here. How do you find them? I enjoy researching hoaxes and demolishing them or (occasionally) rehabilitating them, but I have to go to CAT:HOAX for them, I don't usually find them elsewhere. What put you onto this one?

Merger of Articles
Hello, I noticed that you contributed to the Austin & Pickersgill article, I am proposing that this is merged to the A&P Group article as part of the company's history and was wondering what you thought. Seeing as though it is now known as A&P rather than its full name I was thinking that the latter article should be kept, and the older one merged into it. Thanks, Xtrememachineuk (talk) 01:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Your tag on my article
Hello,

Do you feel all eleven external links to the Internet track record of the subject's concert appearances in the previous years are a 'sales pitch' (your tag is placed above them)? All of the events in the links have taken place in the past, so the article does not advertise any present or upcoming events. If you strongly believe these links are inappropriate and/or excessive, I would be more than happy to remove them - given that you substantiate the assertion.

Thank you so much for your help,

With friendly greetings, Bazaryakov (talk) 02:21, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

OOps, almost forgot - the article's name is Dmitri Novgorodsky, and thanks for finally categorizing it!

Bazaryakov (talk) 02:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello again, Richhoncho

Thanks again for your work categorizing the Dmitri Novgorodsky article. 1) The external links may be excessive, but they do present verifiable sources of the subject's performing activities. If this is a matter of quantity, I'd appreciate your thoughts on how to weed them out; 2) Your suggestion of WP:COI - unless you can point out bias and/or departure from the Neutral point of view in the article, under the guidelines for WP:COI you have referred me to, your supposition of WP:COI functions as conjecture. Theoretically, any contributor writing about living people can be suspected of writing about himself/herself, so I will not even go into responding to this charge.

3) Although I joined Wikipedia] much earlier than May, 2008, I feel it would be a bit presumptuous of me to finish a note to a fellow [[Wikipedian with a sentence "Come and join us and check some articles where you have specialist and independent knowledge": I don't count myself amongst an august group of "specialists". Wikipedia is a young and growing organism and all of us, Wikipedia Community members, are its students - who continue to learn as they contribute.

I appreciate your thoughts and look forward to your further contributions to Wikipedia and to my article.

Thanks, Bazaryakov (talk) 23:49, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
