Deletion of The Great Binge
Hi -- You wrote on my talk page about the deletion of this article & then deleted it. If you're still interested, The Great Binge was deleted because the only source that could be found was an episode of the show QI, which is not considered a reliable source. Phil Bridger sums it up well: "This article is pure original research, and a Google Books search shows that many historical periods have been called "the great binge", most of them referring to economics (an excess of spending and speculation) rather than to consumption of alcohol and other drugs." I performed a quick websearch before deleting which confirmed that there appears no online evidence of the term being widely used in the sense of the article (overconsumption of drugs etc). Hope this helps! If you wish to contest deletion, let me know and I'll restore it and take it to Articles for deletion for community discussion.

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!
Hi, I saw your question at the Teahouse and added a few things to Judith Chomsky. There was a great profile in the Philadelphia Weekly, so if you want to improve it more maybe you could look at that and add some of that material. Also I noticed that a couple of sentences had been copied from the ASHA profile. It might be a good idea to rewrite those in your own words, to avoid copyright issues. And it seems we need a better cite for her birth date. One place to look might be if she is a member of any professional organizations. Sometimes they include the birth date in an announcement when the person joins. Anyway, thanks for creating this article, and good luck! -- Margin1522 (talk) 17:00, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I forgot to mention why the notice about "primary sources" was there. You can click the "primary sources" in that notice to see the kind of sources that Wikipedia likes -- generally information written by third parties (scholars, reporters, etc.) in books, newspapers, and magazines. The problem here is the legal documents, like "Civil Action No...." Did you find about those documents in an article? Then you should cite the article, and explain who the people are and what those cases were about. If you want to keep the document numbers, where can another editor go to view those documents and verify that what you say about them is true? Hope that helps. -- Margin1522 (talk) 20:03, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks a million that is a real help! That article is perfect, I'll try to improve the entry with it. What exactly is the story with images? All the good articles have them, mine looks a little crap without one! I know they have to be in the public domain but Im not totally sure how to check if one is! I tried to upload one from the Chomsky foundation website but wikipedia required a proof of it being public domain and I didn't have that so I emailed the foundation requesting one but got no response yet. Is there a search for just public domain images I can do or something? Thanks again! Ultan42 (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is. See this Harvard library site. I didn't know until reading that just now that Google and Bing both have a filter to find Creative Commons images. Right away I found an OK-to-use image of a building that I've wanted for a long time. Pretty neat. If that fails (in this case it seems likely to fail), maybe you could write the person directly and ask if she has any images from her career that she would like to share. If she has one she likes, and it's in her article, it will almost certainly appear first when people Google her name.

Hello Ultan42, I see that you are willing for someone to adopt you through the Adopt-a-user program. I have around 2500 edits on Wikipedia and is both a rollbacker and a reviewer and have offered to adopt you. I am available almost every day and will be able to help you. If you would want me to adopt you. Simply reply to this message or drop me a message on my talk page. Cheers,  TheQ Editor    (Talk) 21:27, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Starting Adoption
Hi Ultan, I had started the adoption page as a subpage of your Talk Page. Get ready for the adoption!  TheQ Editor    (Talk) 23:14, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Haha.
I just realized what you meant in:

"...especially if that name is a Star Trek reference!"

I've never known that there was a character in Star Trek named Q. No wonder people are calling my The Q. I did not watch many Star Trek videos when I was young. TheQ Editor    (Talk) 00:51, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
