Hans Rudolph, Inc.
A tag has been placed on Hans Rudolph, Inc. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. &mdash; Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 05:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Autopatrolled
Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
 * This permission does not give you any special status or authority
 * Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
 * You may wish to display the Autopatrolled top icon and/or the User wikipedia/autopatrolled userbox on your user page
 * If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it
 * If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 15:34, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Adopt-a-typo Thanks
Dear Wpollard, Thank you for adopting a typo, and adding yourself to by adding the user box. This is still a fledgling program, and category, and therefore every added member adds much needed credibility. Majestic Pyre My Speech Bubble  22:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Dissertation
Is your dissertation online? I noticed the Fort Aubrey article, and I'm curious because I wondered if it could be useful for pages such as the redlinked Bear Creek Redoubt in Clark County. Nyttend backup (talk) 18:26, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but there's no need to go to the trouble. I'm in grad school, so I have tons of papers sitting around already, including some information that I'll use for Wikipedia if I ever get the chance: I'd likely not have time to use it if you sent it.  Thanks for the offer!  Nyttend (talk) 11:35, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Start/finish the article.
 * Move the article into your userpage.
 * Mark the article as G7 if you created it in mistake.

What I usually do these days when I create an article is create the new article with no information. Next, I copy text I have written from my sandbox and, finally, I add categories. I have been doing this, because I was moving articles from my workspace, which leaves many unneeded redirects. Also, I had several instances of people making article changes before the article was moved from my workspace. Hope this clarifies what happened with this article.Bill Pollard (talk) 21:43, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

disambiguation pages
I reverted your last three edits to Mirror Lake because they added entries which do not lead to an article about Mirror Lake. That page is a disambiguation page which is meant to help readers find the article they are looking for.

I have encountered this situation myself trying to balance encyclopedic thoroughness with Wikirules. The result is Oregon-specif articles like Lost Lake (Oregon). Possibly you might want to create a Florida-specific article like that which is not a disambiguation but a geographic-based article? —EncMstr (talk) 07:45, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fox Lake (Florida)


A tag has been placed on Fox Lake (Florida) 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 person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Yanjipy (talk) 14:47, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Loch Long
Hi re:Loch Long, Highlands, putting the coords in the middle of the loch. It is worth noting the British Ordance Survey doesn't always have the coordinates in the middle of the loch, or if if it a bay. Sometime I see them at the top of the loch, bottom or sometimes even outside. It is the same with bays. Its been a bit a puzzlement. I think it is the way they originally recorded them.  scope_creep Talk  16:40, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I had hoped when I wrote this article that I could get more documentation for it. The development surrounding these bodies of water is a 55 and greater years mobile home park. I got very conflicting information about what was to be done concerning connecting these bodies of water into one and some promised documentation never came. These are manmade and never ended up combined into one greater body of water. There is one larger body of water, but it, too, is very small. This community itself seems somewhat large, but little exists online about it without much digging. I would concur at this point that it be deleted, because it never ended up what it was intended to be. Bill Pollard (talk) 17:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
