db-bio
I think that a better tag to put on articles like that is db-bio. It's generic and it doesn't require nearly as much typing. Just a suggestion.Diez2 00:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Non-Notable
Hi there; although there is ongoing discussion about it, non-notability is not presently a category permitting speedy deletion. I personally feel that it should be, but such is life. Look at WP:SPEEDY--Anthony.bradbury 00:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * It was not my intention to criticise, or to imply that you are doing anything wrong; it is just that there are defined criteria for speedy deletion. They are: db-bio, db-band, db-empty, db-attack, db-nonsense, db-spam, db-notenglish, db-copyvio, repost, db-test and db-vandalism. Ther may be others that I don't know, but that lot serve my simple purposes. Non-notability can, at present, only be flagged up as subst:prod with a free-text reason added. Don't feel bad, this is how we all learn, and the more new page patrollers we have the better we all like it.--Anthony.bradbury 01:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * For some reason not clear to me, the tage between copyvio and test, which is "db-repost" does not pick up. But that is what it should say.--Anthony.bradbury 01:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC)


 * That's fine. I'll take that into account if the need arises to use such a tag. Streetsabre 01:15, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Come back to me if you need to. The link WP:SPEEDY takes you to an instruction page on these tags.--Anthony.bradbury 01:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's fine. Quite a lot of us try to make ourselves available to help new or newish editors. And as I say, we cannot have too many NP patrollers. Happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 01:25, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I accidentally answered on my talk page.--Anthony.bradbury 02:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

If you would like the full works, look on WP:SD, which is two pages, and WP:TT which is twenty-nine!--Anthony.bradbury 22:56, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Quite a lot of them never seem to get used. The important thing is to use them in ascending sequence up to blocking-point. Of course, in a case of obvious, gross and deliberate malicious vandalism it is permissable to go straight to "warning" or even "final warning".--Anthony.bradbury 11:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

removed anime styled "example" photos
This isn't that important, but those anime styled example photos are Wikipe-tan. --Wirbelwind ヴィルヴェルヴィント (talk) 05:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:Stub list
Hi - thanks with your help updating the counts of stub categories at WP:WSS/ST, but they are quite frequently done automatically now, so it's not too vital. They also use set "bin" sizes, as explained at the top of the page. I appreciate you're trying to help, though, so thanks! :) Grutness...wha?  04:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, that "quite frequently" is a bit vague - it doesn't look like it's been done for a couple of months, so it does help - it's just not that vital, though, so if there are other things you could use your energy on here, they're probably more deserving of it. Grutness...wha?  04:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Ice Hockey Project discussion of hockey player notability and project scope
Please come join the WikiProject Ice Hockey Notability standards for hockey players discussion. I'd like to see input from all our project members who have an opinion. Thanks! ColtsScore 02:48, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Just out of interest, which parts of the article need wikifying? The article is too short to be divided up into sections, all terms in the article are already linked to their respective articles and it's well referenced, so what else would you recommend I do? Andrew nixon 21:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Most do, but not all. This particular individual has only played one match that counts towards the statistics that are collated in that box, hence the box is not going to indicate anything that can't be said in the main body of the article. Andrew nixon 21:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Please update your status with WP:VG
Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or User WPVG somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
 * Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
 * Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:01, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Camp Sunshine


The article Camp Sunshine has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of notability.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
