Silly bits of kids' posting such as Beau Gosse don't go through AfD. Just speedy them by adding &#123;{nn-bio}}. See WP:CSD for details. -- RHaworth 20:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Disputed sections
Hi! When you see this:

think of it as a request for a reference for the questionable material. Wikipedia articles must be verifiable.

"If you come across an article with an accuracy warning, please do the following: don't remove the warning simply because the material looks reasonable: please take the time to properly verify it. visit the talk page to see what the issues are. correct it right away if you can. Please take the time to properly verify it. Please also add to the article any sources you used to verify the information in it: see cite your sources."

Thanks, THB 10:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Tagging articles for speedy deletion because they're "adverts"
I appreciate the recent work you've been doing tagging articles for deletion; it's an important part of the Wikipedia maintenance process. However, the criteria for speedy deletion only qualify very specific types of articles for deletion without going through the Articles for Deletion process. I recommend you peruse the criteria for speedy deletion to see what does and does not qualify. (An article being an "advert" does not qualify it.) Please let me know if you have any questions.

Charmed Family merge
If you admit that you're unfamiliar with a subject, please don't go ahead and merge it after only 2 days of warning (which happened to be a long weekend for most people, when people go away from their computers to be with family), and 0 discussions on the matter. Although I appreciate the initiative in noticing that this was a unnecessary page, and it was good to bring to our attention (since it's not linked from anywhere or in the Charmed category so none of the Charmed editors even knew about it), it probably would've been better to leave the flag up for at least a few more days during which we (as those familiar with the subject matter) could've discussed the issue. In this case, for example, since we're trying hard to keep the main page clean, the material would fit MUCH better on the List of Charmed Family and Friends page (where it already duplicates much of the info that's there), and the redirect should go there instead of the Charmed main page. So in this case, waiting a few extra days for one of us to notice the notice would've ended up saving some extra work. All the same, thanks for your heads up on that old (unnecesasry) page, I'll take care of the material on it now and fixing the redirect. --Maelwys 15:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Cosey Fanni Tutti
Noticed you tagged Cosey Fanni Tutti as a copyright-violation of. However, that page has this at the bottom: "This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Cosey Fanni Tutti"."

Given that this explicitly describes that it's a copy of Wikipedia's article (and not the other way around), I've removed the template. g026r 05:50, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
