WikiProject Baseball

Hey, I've noticed you have an interest in baseball. You may be interested to know we have a WikiProject on Baseball, this is a place where editors interested in baseball can help each other out and establish guidelines to improving and maintaining baseball-related articles. Anyway, welcome to Misplaced Pages! —Borgarde 07:28, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I'm sorry I have never heard of that book. I have taken a look at your article anyway and the prose seems fine. I don't have any suggestions at the moment. Nice work. —Borgarde 08:00, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Baseball Before We Knew It

On 11 September, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Baseball Before We Knew It, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Speedy deletion of Higher Ed Systems

A tag has been placed on Higher Ed Systems requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Mblumber (talk) 14:48, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

It had already been tagged as not have independent verifiable sources that to show that it met the WP:Notability criteria. I also thought it was essentially promotional Welcome to Higher Ed Services does not inspire confidence in its neutrality. It also makes unsupported spammy claims It designs innovative business and contractual models to realise the outcomes required. It is therefore eligible for speedy deletion. AfD is not intended for adverts or articles that do not assert notability. jimfbleak (talk) 16:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

You may well be right about notability , but the posted article didn't meet the criteria as above. If you want the deleted text, let me know (although I'll be off-line shortly). I'd be happy to comment on any draft if you wish (you could work on it in a sandbox if you don't want to throw it straight to the wolves). jimfbleak (talk) 16:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Ernesto Guillo

DYK

I wanted to mention that I did this. I had previous nominated the page, and you may have overlooked it. I moved your suggestion down as an alternate nomination (meaning an alternate phrasing). I hope you don't mind. Ottava Rima (talk) 22:41, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Thanks you for creating The Cambridge Quarterly. Perhaps you would like to join become an AJ? John Vandenberg 03:19, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Bobô

Hi! I created the article about Bobô as Bobô (footballer born 1962) because there is already an article about another footballer named Bobô, see Bobô. As both football players are known as Bobô, it is less confusing to use their birth dates to disambiguate. See other similar examples: Alan Mahon and Alan Mahon (footballer born 1978), Ally MacLeod and Ally MacLeod (footballer born 1951), Mohamed Sylla and Mohamed Sylla (footballer born 1971) and several other examples. So, I will revert your move. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 03:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

No problem. :-) AdjustShift (talk) 03:38, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, I do! Excellent idea! Thanks so much! Regards, --Carioca (talk) 04:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, I am from Brazil. I live in Rio de Janeiro. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 04:10, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Mara Carfagna

First of all: do you read Italian? Otherwise it will be very hard to find sufficient information to create a more substantial article. Lampman (talk) 12:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Maybe. On her personal blog she keeps a list of links to various interviews she's done; they contain a lot of information. But again: it's all in Italian. Lampman (talk) 13:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

No, not in itself, but as I said it contains links to interviews made by various publications, and most of these are reliable sources. Lampman (talk) 13:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: List of storms in the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season

Thanks for nominating a hook, and for assessing the article! I had just copy and pasted it from 2001 Atlantic hurricane season which I am currently rewriting. I think you chose a fine hook, and eventually, I plan to rewrite that article as well, as it needs some work. Cheers, –Juliancolton 16:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Why thank you for your kind words. I see you're still relatively new to Misplaced Pages, so if you have any questions or anything, feel free to ask me on my talk page. –Juliancolton 16:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

RFA for Juliancolton

You commented before the RFA officially began, so would you mind commenting again, now that it is officially open. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:04, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

Oh, thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. :-) Cheers, and you have a nice day, too! JamieS93 15:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know – I was also planning on nominating it at DYK, too, if I could find something unique about the hurricane. I'm not sure if your hook is all that interesting, per se, but I can always add an alternate hook next to your nom if something else comes to mind. :-) Cheers, JamieS93 16:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

STS-134

Please refrain from reverting stuff you don't know about. Thanks. Hektor (talk) 17:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Dear Hektor, please be WP:CIVIL. Comments link "Please refrain from reverting stuff you don't know about" is a violation of WP:CIVIL. There are reasons why I reverted this edit. The lead says "STS-134 is currently the Contingency Shuttle Crew Shuttle flight which should be launched in case of damage to Endeavour during the STS-133 mission." It appeared to be violation of Misplaced Pages:Recentism. So please don't make sweeping comments like "Please refrain from reverting stuff you don't know about". Have a nice day. AdjustShift (talk) 18:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Curiously, when you quote me, you forget Thanks. I wrote Please and Thanks and I think that it is civil enough. Thanks. Hektor (talk) 18:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: List of storms in the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season

Hmm. At first glance, I'd say it needs some more references. A good rule of thumb to remember is to add a reference at least at the end of every paragraph in the article. WP:PR might be a good place to get some advice about the article. Cheers, –Juliancolton 13:49, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Twinkle, it doesn't work on Internet Explorer, so that might be the problem? –Juliancolton 23:55, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
