GA Review
You recently promoted Kevin R. D. Shepherd to GA status. I am writing to let you know that I have initiated a GA review, because I feel the article's sourcing, which is heavily reliant on primary sources, may fall short of GA requirements. You can find the review page here: Good_article_reassessment/Kevin_R._D._Shepherd/1. Regards, -- JN 466  21:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Please be careful. Try to reword the references you are adding with minimal use of his name, or they will sound a little too promotional.  DGG ( talk ) 16:21, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mabo Day


The article Mabo Day has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

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.

Your comments on Lord Meher as a reliable source.
See the Lord Meher Talk Page for my comments. I do not like the way you have approached this matter. --Nemonoman (talk) 13:55, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Kidd, See you removed an old reference. Didn't know what it was. Which, btw, what was it, and why did you remove it?! Take care,--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 15:22, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi again, thanks for getting back to me. But don't see an explanation on the talk page you identified nor on RS/N. (dont know what that is.) If you have time, perhaps a sentence of explanation? If not, I have no problem with your removal of the cit as I'm sure you have good reasons. It looks from your talk page that you do lots of fascinating work on WP. Bravo,--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 18:45, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * On thinking about it I suppose a "devotee" is not a reliable source, which you intimate in your edit summary??--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 18:53, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Simon Kidd, you are removing valid information from articles without any decision having been taken in the RSN. Also mind you that it is one thing to remove the reference itself and another to remove the text it supports. The way you are editing is definitely after an agenda and the information you remove along with the references (instead of leaving it there and placing an "unreferenced" tag) is not proper at all. A decision was taken about Kevin Shepherd and the admins who took it removed some of your references and the text they supported. You are now acting on your own with no decision taken about Kalchuri. You are also acting against consensus. Hoverfish Talk 21:16, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Please, make sure you understand better Disruptive editing before continuing on this course. Hoverfish Talk 21:20, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Simon, thanks for taking all that time to explain the problem to me. Hoverfish sounded like a WP authority or something and of course it didn't occur to me that you might be having a debate, with two points of view. I appreciate your including the WP criteria for citing 3d party sources. And it certainly seems to me that "devotee published material" doesn't pass the test. In any case, I won't do anything. Happy Easter,--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 19:25, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for checking my work on MdA's interest in Indian mysticism, philosophy, practice. As for the source debate with Hoverfish, should probably take that up on one of your pages. Take care, --Classicfilmbuff (talk) 21:58, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
