Welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron
Welcome to the rescue squadron. I have been around for almost 4 years, and I know most of the terrible bureaucracy here on wikipedia. If you ever have any questions, just consider me your mentoree, and I would be happy to help you. Ikip (talk) 00:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with your setiments entirely. Please enjoy some wonderful articles about how the media universally feels that deletionsionism is deterimental: Wikipedia:Notability/RFC:Reevaluation then enjoy my research, showing that articles for deletion disportionally effect new users: User:Ikip/AfD_on_average_day Ikip (talk) 01:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

{| style="border: 2px solid #CC3333; padding: 6px; width: 80%; min-width: 700px; background: lightsteelblue; line-height: 20px; cellpading=30" align=center Hi,, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

Thats, great. Hopefully more people will become involved with it soon as there is a massive amount missing. Dr. Blofeld      White cat 10:56, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Harold Sirkin book reviews
i understand that positive reviews might be taken as puffery, (one was critical "This is not a question contemplated by the authors".) and detract from the article. i have no great like of management consultants and their puffery, i am concerned that blanket statements are made in AfD, that are easily proven false. the quotes prove the sources are not trivial (the next argument), it was probably an over-reaction on my part to: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, which has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. - No evidence" when it only took me five minutes, confirming THF: "The article is a mess, but I question whether anyone did the required search for sources". you could edit them done if you want, but please leave until the AfD is finalized. the article is better sourced than the Tom Peters one, but he was better at marketing? more visible in popular culture - oh and when the verifiable sources do it, it's not NPOV, they could argue synthesis though (except that the sources agree) pohick (talk) 21:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Cloudbuster merge
I've started a discussion on Orgone and added the appropriate tags. TBH I think a merger is not without merits and should be discussed, but that merging without discussion is not appropriate. Artw (talk) 18:14, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Also if Verbal continues reverting, or if other users start reverting on his behalf then taking the matter to AN/I immediately is the best course of action, to prevent any ridiculous silliness of the kind that happened on the Orthomolecular psychiatry‎ merge. Artw (talk) 18:20, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I had not been involved with amy merge.redirect discussions on the talk page, not do I think it was a consensus to do so. Since that "discusion" doid not take place, the information and article should be immediately returned so that a discussion should indeed take place.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:27, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * (replied on User talk:MichaelQSchmidt)

I very strongly support keeping these articles separate. If you read the deletion discussion, I believe that the people arguing to merge are not addressing the points I raised and the sources that I linked to. People should not be able to bully others into getting their way just through a majority of numbers and unfounded assertions. Cazort (talk) 18:31, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * (replied on User talk:Cazort)
 * Yes, exactly! personally, I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in Orgone as I think it is essentially B.S. (although I certainly think it's notable and worth having an article)...whereas I find the Cloudbuster article more interesting, even if it's based on disproven pseudoscience, just because of what it is trying to do. Cazort (talk) 19:32, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The decision to delete the article Dan Schlund is now being reviewed. You have been sent this message because you have previously been involved in the AfD discussion(s) concerning this article.

Re:Literacy rate in Template:Infobox Country
I would fully support a renewal of my proposal to add literacy rate, and I think you do have a very good point to argue. However, other than a few comments here and there I don't think I'll be able to help much in contributing to the argument as I am quite busy these days. I would suggest you make a point on the fact that there are no other indicators of education in the template and also prepare to argue against the range of data in the List of countries by literacy rate page. -- Hamster   X  18:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Hoaxes?
Hello - I noticed you picked up on my tagging an article as a possible hoax. Is there more that I specifically should do? Do you have a good link for me to learn more about how to handle a hoax?

Re: E. T. Barnette
I see what you mean about a naming controversy. The source I'm using to build the article about the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner refers to him as Ebenezer, but given the sources that you've cited, I've got no problem if you switch the article back to E.T. JKBrooks85 (talk) 06:11, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Afd Article
Thanks for your help cleaning up the Nancy Jacobson article. Ultimately, a decision was made to keep the article. However, the person who originally requested deletion (Jeandré du Toit) went ahead and pretty much blanked the page anyway. It looks like someone is pretty determined to remove or whitewash this article, and aside from monitoring it 24/7 for deletion and heavy editing, I'm not sure what else can be done. I've dropped AfD a note too, but still wanted to say thanks here and make you aware of how things turned out. cheers. --Nacl11 (talk) 16:19, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * (replied on User talk:Nacl11) -- Shunpiker (talk) 00:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Again, thanks. It was good to find someone who was of similar mind about the content. I'm sort of a beginner here, and it just struck me as odd that admin interventions, AfD committee evaluations, and evidence of bad faith are all basically cast aside once an article is open for editing by the general public. I guess my best plan of action would be to become involved in the 90% of Wikipedia content that is not controversial from here on out. cheers. --Nacl11 (talk) 06:14, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Someone removed your POV tag. If you think it still applies you should post your reasons on the talk page and then reinstate it. If you think it's promotional, there is also a template for that. Best wishes Hekerui (talk) 22:34, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Shunpiker! 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.

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:

Hey Shunpiker, I noticed that you edit a lot of pages related to politics and corruption and also pages pertaining to Latin America. I spent the better part of the last two months creating the page for Corruption in Argentina, and I think it needs a fresh overview. Any chance you would be able to help?

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:52, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
