User talk:Thmoore

I doubt your articles on individual Fargo elementary schools will be considered notable at WP. As a minimum, they must have references to 2 independent third-party published sources in newspaper or magazine articles or other sources that talk substantially about the school. These cannot be mere directories, listing every public school in the area or the state or the country. Please consider entering them instead a sections in the article for Fargo public schools.

The article has been reassessed. :) --Matthew UND (talk) 18:19, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: DGG's comment...
Mr. G.:

Thanks for your comments on the Bennett Elementary School article that my daughter's fourth-grade class and I put together. I assure you, we're not on a mission to write articles about every elementary school in North Dakota; each school's own students are up to that task, I'm sure.

I also thank you for pointing out the requirement that the article include two independent third-party sources substantially about the school. I have added two from Fargo's newspaper of record. Thmoore 02:52, 25 June 2007 (UTC)Thmoore

Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 15:33, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

school articles
What would now help is to look for some planning documents, and the analysis of the demographics of the area--and a thorough search for successful alumni. elementary school articles are relatively hard to support because there aren't that many alumni per school, and not that much in the way of competitions for which to win awards. As for deletionism in general, the way to understand it is to look  at the log of any admin--like myself even--and see what we delete. You cant see the article,but you can see the first few words most of the time. Or look as they come in at Special:New pages, or at Category:CSD. Literally more than half the articles submitted to WP are really totally inappropriate, and most of them can never possibly be rescued. That's several thousand a day. It tends to produce a desperate feeling of trying to hold back the tide, and it's easier to delete everything questionable than to do the work of looking carefully. Thanks for Chronicle of Philanthropy--now if you could add something about circulation and influence... DGG (talk) 02:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * the current status is that in about two or three days someone will close the discussion by giving what is supposed to be a balanced opinion of the views. In the meantime, you can ask people to look at it agaqin on your page if you think you've done enough to make it better.  The decision will probably either be endorse, or endorse, but permit re-creation. If it is permit re-creation, then just make sure the article is better, and put it back in WP. If it is just endorse, then work on it as you can for a week or two, and then come back to Deletion review and say how it is improved. If you want my personal opinion, I think its good enough, & has been unreasonably singled out, but there's really nothing much more to say in argument. Are you in the area? Do you have access to files of local newspapers? Have you asked a librarian in the area--you can do it by email if you arent there. All librarians know about WP.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Moore (Politician)


A tag has been placed on Tom Moore (Politician), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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. -- Patchy1 02:27, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

November 2012
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Tom Moore (Politician). Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. -- Patchy1 02:28, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
