Thanks for the new article. Nice job. I added some categories and fiddled with the sources a bit. -- DS1953 talk 22:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Good edits Tvoz | talk 18:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

One request though - could you put in a few word edit summary as you go so people have an idea of what you're doing - "copy edit" will suffice if that's all it is. Makes it easier for others to follow the edit trail. Thx. Tvoz | talk 18:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Sue Randall
It wasn't sourced the first time, amigo. Not stating references because the article lacks them already isn't a good reason or good practice. - Dudesleeper · Talk 17:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * And I started her article, so I hope that covers the "original contributions" you requested. - Dudesleeper · Talk 17:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * A footnote appeared five minutes after the article was created. Also, at the time IMDb only listed Randall as appearing in fourteen episodes of Beaver, which is why until recently the article stated — hold on to your hat here — that she appeared in fourteen episodes. Anything else you'd like clarification on? - Dudesleeper · Talk 19:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Because you're better at everything than I am, obviously. - Dudesleeper · Talk 17:32, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted your personal attacks at my talkpage
Please refrain from leaving insulting messages such as this on my talkpage. If you do so again, you will be reported. If you have an issue with my edits at Barack Obama take it up at that talkpage, and do so without personally insulting those with whom you disagree. Bellwether B  C  05:29, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The "rationale" is at the talkpage for that article, which is where all further discussion of the article (at least by me) will take place. Bellwether B  C  05:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Martin Luther King, Jr. authorship issues
Please familiarize yourself with No personal attacks and Assume good faith before you make baseless accusations about other editors.

As I explained in the edit summary at Martin Luther King, Jr. authorship issues, there is little relationship between Chesnutt's essay and King's speech. You haven't indicated that a reliable source has asserted such a relationship, which means that your allegation is original research.

The relationship between Carey's and King's speeches is described in the article. As I wrote in my edit summary, I don't think it's necessary to quote both speeches at length. If you don't agree, we have an honest difference of opinion. We don't have "POV edits without any rationale", "predatory editing", or an attitude of "How dare you say anything that might be critical of an African American person in Wikipedia".

In the future, please discuss differences of opinion before you make personal attacks against other editors. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 20:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Frank Marshall Davis
To answer your question, the book I was referring to is the one in the citation I gave: "Dreams from My Father". Yes, the previous quote was a total mischaracterization. It said: In his autobiographical Dreams from My Father, US senator and Democratic party presidential candidate Barack Obama writes of a father figure named Frank who influenced him profoundly with his "hard-earned knowledge." This "Frank" was Davis. Obama acknowledges the words of wisdom "Frank and his old Black Power dashiki self" shared with him before he set off for college in 1979. This advice included not to "start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that shit." Obama refers to Davis as being a decisive influence in helping him to find his identity as an African-American. The book does not say or imply 'father figure', 'influenced him profoundly with his hard-earned knowledge', any acknowledgement of 'words of wisdom', or 'decisive influence'. Frank was a guy who played cards and drank with Obama's grandfather. The only help Frank was in finding his (Obama's) identity as an African-American was to know what it was like to be a black person in the US in the early part of the century until the 50's and 60's. Frank didn't seem to think anything had changed after that. A history lesson and a lesson in how one can become bitter if one doesn't keep up with the times. Rather like Wright. I rather expect you read some blogs about the book, rather than the book itself, as your mischaracterization matches much of what I've been reading out there. I expect most libraries have the book, if you want to check it for yourself (chapters 4 and 5). Flatterworld (talk) 21:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Rosspz! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion nomination of Harry Eyres
A tag has been placed on Harry Eyres requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. iBentalk/contribs 22:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Joe Miller (political candidate)


The article Joe Miller (political candidate) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * uunsourced article about someone who is a candidate for a nomination. If he wins the nomination he will probably become notable but does not become so just for being a candidate.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 19:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Joe Miller, Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Alaska, article
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --InaMaka (talk) 22:47, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Joe Miller (politician)

 * I noticed that you deleted and said should be moved, but didn't move it. Do you know or have an affinity for Namiba?  Please respond with rationale ASAP.  You seem to be an obstructionist.
 * No, I do not. You are asking the question because you know that I know that you are probably a sockpuppet for User talk:75.73.209.32.  Your editing pattern and your over-the-top comments are exactly the same in tone and tenor of 75.73.209.32. Please take this comment as warning about not engaging in sockpuppetry.  Have a good day!--InaMaka (talk) 01:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey, amigo. Not sure what you mean. Sometimes I log in and sometimes I'm too lazy to log in. I originated the article on Joe Miller. I'm Rosspz. And I'm 75.73.209.32 when I forget to log in and I'm 74.94.83.94 when I edit from work. You're just a little too clever by half. Sorry if you're offended, but the isssues are bigger than just you. Stop being punctilious and try to use Wiki so it's a respected source of information and not a power play sandbox for you. Right now, you're just a gnat of irritation and obstruction and not of any help to anyone. Start playing the game for the greater good and not just for you own self-importance. Deal with in, amigo, or find another hobby. Best wishes. and 75.73.209.32 and 74.94.83.94.
 * Oh, I get it. You are a smartass. That's ok.  I've dealt with your type before.  You are just one more blowhard trying to teach me a lesson.  Let me help you out.  That information that you are trying to POV warrior your way into the Joe Miller article aren't going to stay there.  Have a good day!--InaMaka (talk) 03:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi, friend
I just wanted to thank you for the really good find on the bio of John Miller Cooper. There have been a couple sets of hands working on the piece since you launched it, so it looks different now... Hopefully you'll like the current form, if not, my apologies. But that was a really good catch of a bio that otherwise might have gone missing. Thank you. Carrite (talk) 18:27, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Faribault Woolen Mills


A tag has been placed on Faribault Woolen Mills requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Removing Speedy at Faribault Woolen Mills
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Faribault Woolen Mills, a page you have created yourself.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 22:06, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ormond Beach, Florida into John D. Rockefeller. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:05, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bay Harbor, Michigan


A tag has been placed on Bay Harbor, Michigan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

Biographies of living persons policy.
Your assertion that "subjects may not self[-]select true and public data" may be true most of the time, but birth dates are an exception. Please review our biographies of living persons policy:

Even if that were not so, the available sourcing—which you didn't even bother to cite—falls far short of the policy's requirement that the subject's date of birth have been "widely published in reliable sources."

Also, you need to review WP:MINOR: your edit was not a minor edit and should not have been marked as such.
