Salah Edin has been mentioned in the wikipedia article Fitna (film). I know notability is not inherited, but does this address your concern about notability? Thanks, Andjam (talk) 12:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey! I wrote the root article about the greatly-missed Tom T. Thanks for your clean-up of my lead. It is better. Mark Sublette (talk) 06:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 06:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much! I was just playing with the random article feature, and I stumbled across the article. It was nice to be able to help, but there wasn't much to do! You had already written such a good article. I had never heard of Tom Terrell before. It was really neat to learn about him. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 07:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I believe that if you link onto NPR's website (but have not actually checked it out) that some of Tom's reviews are available online. Guess I ought to, huh? I have always appreciated the nature of the collaborative effort of the Wikipedia, and although I consider myself to be an expert wordsmith, it is ALWAYS good to have someone else review your copy.  As they tell writers, never proof your own stuff.  You have a tendency to overlook the same things again.  I was lucky enough to be in the D.C. area from the early '80s, and regularly heard Tom on WHFS.  Went to his funeral, as well.  His Mom is a lovely, educated, woman!  Where R U at?

CSD tagging
Hello Phoenix. If you nominate the article for speedy deletion, don't forget to notify the creator. The correct template you can find at the bottom of the nomination. Check Brooke glavich and Abraham tesfaye, please. Thanks, have a good day. --Vejvančický (talk) 07:27, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Will do, thanks for reminding me! Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 07:37, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Template
In regards to this User talk:Who gives its ya mum, what's the template for this comment? I see a lot of school kids create articles about themselves and even though I know the tag, I don't know the talk page template to leave those editors. Thank you.-- The LegendarySky Attacker 09:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * When you use a db tag like, or in this case  , after the page is saved, if you look at the speedy deletion template you made on the article, it has a bit of code in small print near the bottom that looks something like: " Please consider placing the template:Template:Db-person ~ on the talk page of the author. " It changes automatically based on the page in question and the template being used, which is pretty cool. I just copied that code onto User talk:Who gives its ya mum, and it produced the comment. I think a generic version of the template is Article . A similar, more-welcoming is  . Hope this helps! Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:42, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It does help. Thanks.-- The LegendarySky Attacker 09:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

My name is Rick Toh....
The article "Blowing Wings" was a education portfolio I submitted previously that won an award in my organisation (a statutory board). Will that suffice in credibility? Ricktoh (talk) 10:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Dear Rick,


 * First of all, congratulations on having your portfolio win the award in your organization. You clearly put a lot of hard work into it. That being said, I have several concerns about whether Blowing wings meets Wikipedia's policies for inclusion. First of all, this article having been based on your portfolio, Education: Clipping Vs Blowing Wings, leads me to concerns that Wikipedia's policy of no original research is being violated; also, as you yourself are the author of both the portfolio and the article, it seems to me that you have a conflict of interest in this subject. Also, the article does not seem to satisfy Wikipedia's policy regarding verifiability, which states that articles need multiple third-party sources that mention the subject of the article; all of the references you listed were published before the subject itself existed, making it seem unlikely that they established its notability. Also, as your term "Blowing wings" is relatively unknown as of now (when I Googled it, I only found copies of the Wikipedia article), it would probably be considered a neologism, and articles on neologisms are generally discouraged.


 * Please don't take offense about this; your work seems very important, but at the moment, given these concerns, I am not convinced that it is appropriate for Wikipedia. That being said, if, after you have read the policies I mentioned above, you still disagree with my proposed deletion, you can always remove the proposed deletion tag from the top of the article; if you do not remove the tag, the page will likely be automatically deleted once the time period expires. If you choose to remove the tag, I may list this page for discussion at Articles For Deletion so that other editors can weigh in; maybe I am wrong about this article, and it does belong.


 * Best wishes either way. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

NPOV edit on Shooter movie
Dude, regarding the edit to "Shooter" (movie), if you want to change the comment to be more neutral, feel free. However, the "military advisor's" statement is 100% pure and utter bullshit. To cite but one "reference", David Drake (sci-fi author) was an intelligence officer in Vietnam, and in the afterword to one of his novels, he discusses interrogating a Vietnamese girl who was shot by a .50BMG round. Her limbs were not scattered 200 yards away, she lived for enough time after being shot to have a conversation with him. The hydrostatic shock did considerable internal damage, but hardly peeled her apart like a banana, nor dismembered her.

I realize that the statement in the article is (presumably) a direct quote from the so-called advisor, but the best you can say about his statement is that it is "dramatic." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.195.136 (talk) 04:16, 5 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, it sounds like you know more about this than I do. Calling something "nonsense" in an article comes across pretty opinionated, so it might raise red flags with other editors; you might choose a word that has less stigma to it, or give more of the explanation you shared here. Just be sure to back up what you say with references or else it might come across as original research. Alternatively, you could bring up your concerns on the article's talk page and discuss it with the other editors. Sorry if it felt like I stepped on your toes. Best wishes and happy editing!

I asked for help sourcing this article on WikiProject Austria. I thought that was a smart move since I can't read the sources and because I don't know anything about Austrian drinks. Joe Chill (talk) 02:31, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Roger Took
Problem is the Media hasn't picked up his death at all. Its almost like its being covered up. I didn't know who he was untill after he killed himself. If there is no way to cite a source, does that mean it stays a secret? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sulla1982 (talk • contribs) 06:42, 5 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, but if you are the only one reporting his death, and are using your own knowledge as a source for the information, than that is a violation of Wikipedia's policy "No original research," which is well worth reading, but in a nutshell says: "Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Articles may not contain any new analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position not clearly advanced by the sources." Keep looking for those reliable sources, but keep in mind that Wikipedia is very cautious when it comes to biographies. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 20:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Survey
Hi Ashes!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Niva International School
Hi. I see you  just  tagged this school  article as an advert after I  had spent some time cleaning  out  the puff and restructuring  for NPOV. I'm curious to  know what  criteria you  applied, and perhaps also  why  you  didn't  consider making  any  further improvements yourself. Cheers, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:42, 20 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi! My power is out, and our internet keeps crashing. Somehow, the version I had read was the one that was there before you cleaned up the article; it had the mission statements, philosophy, vision statements, etc. That was the version I was trying to tag as reading like an advertisement, not the one you improved, yet my edit came in after yours. I'm not sure how. Sorry about the confusion. And as for why I didn't make further improvements, as I said, my internet connection has been shaky. I wanted to mark the article so that I could come back to it once my connection stabilized, which I did today. I have removed the advertisement tag, as it doesn't apply. Best wishes!
