Speedy deletion nomination of Jennifer Berezan


A tag has been placed on Jennifer Berezan 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 band or musician, 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  IShadowed  ✰  22:28, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You are much too quick on the draw, IMO. I just started to work on the article. I will be adding references and content. I've been around WP long enough to know what constitutes an article, having created dozens of them and devoted most of my energies to article improvement. Sunray (talk) 22:34, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Stumbled across this nicely-written new article – thanks for your work on this, Sunray. I've replaced the cn with a reference, plus a few other minor changes, and wikilinked five other pages to the article so that it doesn't get an orphan tag. Now I must go away and listen to some of her music :) — Hebrides (talk) 09:06, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for doing that, and, especially, for your kind words. Sunray (talk) 18:47, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, my personal technique for evading the "speedy delete" folks is to write new articles (often over a period of weeks) in Notepad, saving as a text file. Occasionally along the way I'll paste it into a WP edit window and do a "Show preview" just to check the syntax, but I don't save the page. Then when it's ready I can publish on WP. I find this works well for me, as I can polish the text at the end, and don't have to worry about some well-meaning editor trying to repair early versions by second-guessing what my half-written prose is supposed to mean.


 * Don't get me wrong, when I refer to the "speedy delete" people, I must say they do a wonderful job filtering out the constant flow of inconsequential rubbish that Wikipedia seems to attract. It's just that I prefer to save them the trouble of reading through my work before I'm ready to release it.


 * I'm not suggesting you should change your preferred way of working, just sharing my own experience. Happy that our paths have crossed :) — Hebrides (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You're quite right. It is especially good advice when one writes about a non-mainstream person or topic. It is funny you should mention it, though, because I wrote that article as a knee-jerk reaction when I saw her youtube video of the tar sands fly over with Joanna Macy. I tried to look her up on WP and found no article. You know the rest: I clicked on the red link and began to write. I was amazed at how quickly the Thought Police were on it. It shows how much WP has grown up, but also some cultural changes that can be discouraging, at times. Sniff. I do these things, sometimes, and wonder whether one of these Quick Draw McGraws will learn to distinguish between a real editor and some besotted, one-trick pony. (Sorry about the mixed metaphors; I'm better now, having got that off my chest). :) Sunray (talk)

A41 runs from London to Liverpool

 * NoseyFruitcake3 (talk) 08:46, 21 May 2012 (UTC) - Are you sure? I saw the road on Google Maps and I saw the A41 at Liverpool, ok?


 *  This is addressed to [User:NoseyFruitcake3|NoseyFruitcake3 ]]. I have already reverted your editing on A41 regarding this:

POSTSCRIPT TO: Sunray. Hi Sunray, I cannot fathom out why this new editor has posted his question here on your Talk page. I am going to copy this section to his Talk page now. Sorry that you have been disturbed. Shall keep an eye on your page for any reply you may care to leave. Cheers! -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 12:11, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Please leave this article alone! You are incorrect on all counts.  Consult a proper atlas, and you will see that the A41 does not start in "The City of London" and does not go through Berkhamsted any longer, and does not terminate in Liverpool.  -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 12:02, 21 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Since writing the above, I noticed that NoseyFruitcake3 returned (twice) to this page in order to post profanities. He has been blocked for 48 hours.  The postings were removed by another user, replaced inadvertently by me, and now removed again by me.  Kind regards,  -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 14:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Wow, the shit that happens when you're offline! Thanks for being on top of this. It looks like NoseyFruitcake3 may have confused me with User:Sunil060902 who he seemed to be edit warring with at A12 road (England). Sunray (talk) 16:01, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Glad to have picked it (?) up before you did. I believe you must be correct in your assumption, as I have had no postings from this person.  All the best,  -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 16:08, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

WWTN
On the WWTN edit I was simply making the change. Laura Ingrham is no longer on and Carl Boyd, Jr has replaced her. If i did something wrong, can you help me fix or update it> Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.54.236.156 (talk) 19:19, 21 May 2012 (UTC)


 * All fixed. You were trying to add it in the wrong place. You might want to read up on how to edit a page. I also recommend that you get an account. There are many advantages to doing this. Sunray (talk) 03:36, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Reply regarding the edit in 2012 MTV Movie Awards
Hello. Thanks for the welcoming. I am here to clarify that the link I posted did show that my source is reliable. If you watch the teaser video I linked, it is shown that Fun. is going to perform the song 'Some Nights' on MTV Awards. It is just that it is not in written form so I cannot link any article to it. Thank you again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shihao92 (talk • contribs) 07:36, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome :) I'm not sure what source I can use because this is the first time they announced what song they are gonna play. I will update it if I find a proper source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shihao92 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

someone else also undid that edit using the same program. i explained that neighborsgo has its own article and there is no need to go into that much detail about it on the dallas morning news article. it should probably be cut even further imo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.136.249.20 (talk) 23:56, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Hi - We seem to be stuck again (on whether the wording of the question). Can you help? -- Rick Block (talk) 14:47, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

If I could get Martin to agree to this, would you be willing to write the question part following the RFC statement? We have agreed on the text. The question part I'm referring to is everything following this, starting at the heading "Proposal 1, Proposal 2, or neither" in the show/hide box at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sunray/Discussion_of_Monty_Hall_RfC#Outside_comments_on_including_NPOV_in_the_question. The idea is to propose to Martin that you write this, in whatever way you see fit, and we will both pre-agree to live with whatever wording you choose. I haven't suggested this to Martin yet, but will if you would be willing. -- Rick Block (talk) 02:27, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Does this mean you missed the above? -- Rick Block (talk) 23:26, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm not sure how I missed your proposal. I've been pretty busy in real life and I don't feel up to writing the question at the moment. The presentation has become far more complicated than I had imagined it would. Also there is the requirement about consensus, which hasn't been settled. Sunray (talk) 15:05, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * My guess is we're not going to agree on what constitutes consensus. I'm inclined to post the RFC with the disputed 5 words and without an agreement on consensus (which I think means "standard consensus rules").  Does this seem like a reasonable approach to you? -- Rick Block (talk) 03:46, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it makes sense to give it a try. You have put considerable effort into this. Best of luck. Sunray (talk) 05:45, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for letting me know. Sunray (talk) 00:14, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * For this as I see on the mediation page, Both the sides have given their sources for and against the statement, I guess they are waiting for the mediators to give thier thought on the provided sources. But mediators have not replied for the last five days and are now planning to close ? -- D Big X ray   21:48, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Sook-Yin Lee, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Broadcaster (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Edit at Boise, Idaho
Hi! I like the picture of the little girl on the trolley (bus?) at the top of this page. I am writing you for some clarification on your recent edit at Boise, Idaho. I don't really see where in WP:NOT your rationale for deletion lies. I agree that "Cultural References" sections are somewhat trivial (Maybe WP:TRIVIA would have been a better rationale?), but at least at Boise, they serve a purpose. It helps convey the image that Boise has as somewhat of a "Hick" place to live, an image that the locals embrace. BTW, I can probably reference the rest of that list if it will help you see that it has a place in the article. Thanks for all you do here at Wikipedia. I look forward to your reply. Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:53, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

University of Michigan
I don't particluarly question the factual information you added re Michigan Stadium (indeed it seems to be consistent with List of stadiums by capacity), but do you think the blog you cited - http://www.onefootdown.com/2011/9/6/2391657/the-notre-dame-road-stadium-tour-michigan-stadium - qualifies as a reliable source? JohnInDC (talk) 16:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, there are blogs and there are blogs. This one does have editorial control. I am sure that there must be better sources available and will look for one. Sunray (talk) 17:30, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Pity we can't just cite to the WP stadium page. (Thanks.)  JohnInDC (talk) 17:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Winnipeg
There has been many changes recently to Winnipeg's climate section, and I noticed your comment on the talk page and want to know if the comparisons that have been made are within WP standards. Currently the references are using sources that don't compare the cities but rather just data on the individual city. I would like to know your opinion on this matter and weather it uses good comparisons or if anything should be changed according to any WP standards. Thanks  Kyle  1278  21:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Edits need to be in understandable and grammatically correct English; also to inform the reader. Saying "this is the small village" makes no sense and adds nothing—the first line of the article already states that Kozhukkully is a village. Perhaps take some English lessons before trying to write in an English language encyclopedia, or try writing in a version of Wikipedia in a different language. Sunray (talk) 07:56, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Sustainability article
Hello Sunray, The information that I provided for the article on Sustainability was factual and constructive. It provided a "filling out" of the subject which was sorely lacking in the article as the article was written in a way that would mislead the reader. More and more we are living in a world of smoke and mirrors dictated by ideologues who hide their true motives by slanting and half truths. Should a subject be fully honest? The information that I provided does just that; gives a fuller, more accurate definition of Sustainability. Do you want Wikipedia to get the reputation of being a tool for leftist propaganda? Please reinstate my editing or explain to me why you feel it is not constructive. Froibleonline (talk) 06:01, 24 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. You are a new contributor to this encyclopedia, and there are some things you need to know about how to edit. You inserted an opinion on the article page. That wasn't the right place for it. Editorial decisions are made by consensus. Many, many editors have worked on this article. They represent a broad variety of perspectives. You would be welcome to add your own views on the talk page (not the article page) where they can be discussed. If you have a worthwhile point about adding to the article and there is consensus, it may be added. However, I am puzzled by your comment about "leftist propaganda." Many of the contributors to this article are decidedly not left wing (I'm not). We negotiated. We will continue to take that approach. Sunray (talk) 19:47, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Bane in other media
Hi, I think you may have tagged an edit of mine as vandalism and reverted it in error. If you look at the edit history you'll note that the material I removed has been removed by several editors, reinstated by one, and is original research (the reference is a user generated quote on IMDB) or other contentious material. --76.28.87.5 (talk) 04:42, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks but no thanks on signing up and kicking my own ass to try and improve this shitbox. No wonder you can't get quality editors for Wikipedia. --76.28.87.5 (talk) 14:33, 18 December 2012 (UTC)'
