V speeds‎

Chris: Thanks for the note on the Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Aircraft‎ page. I had a kick at the page, added some V speeds with Transport Canada references and made the article a bit less USA-centric. See what you think. - Ahunt (talk) 22:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

tips for de-escalation

I have replied to you on the talk page concerned. Please do share.:) Merkin's mum 14:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

There are some things I can't explain to him further, for security reasons. But I don't intend to pester DS here, I just wanted to say that I think I've done all I can. And I know it may seem to be "going on and on" but I'm finding it helpful to discuss it with others, other's support has helped me feel better over it in the same way as the barnstar you gave DS must have done for him. But I'll try to shut up about it A.S.A.P., like, today- and I'm going out for a nice meal later, anyway which will help me move on. That as well as receiving the surprise news at a routine blood test today that despite my love of pizza, I have a cholesterol of 2.:) Which I will stop mentioning everywhere now, but gave me a boost.

Franklin Municipal Airport - John Beverly Rose Field

Hi. I was planning to post a response here on your talk page, but since you started a new thread at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Airports#Airport naming conventions I have posted it there instead. -- Zyxw (talk) 18:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

RB on XBL

Yes. Very much so. -- TRTX 23:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

declined CSD (Eric Castelli)

Hey there, I thought the CSD might be declined, but I'm just curious... Will an a7 always fail as long as the article includes the words "X is notable because ...". I thought it might still be deemed non-notable (regardless of the weak assertion), because Misplaced Pages does not even have an article on the software that seemingly makes this individual notable. $50 follow-up question: should I have just tagged this version with {{db-copyvio}} ? xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 18:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll have to delve deeper into the deletion policy. And the $50 follow up question? xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 19:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the subject would fail at AFD due to lack of secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject (therefore, I won't take the time to rehash the primary sourced copyvio). Thanks for your time! xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 19:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh , thanks! I play on XBL under the same gamertag as my Wikiname. Feel free to send me a friend req! xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 19:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of scribble wiki

you obviously cant read! It said under construction! I was developing it and writing proper sources for it. You had no right to delete it. MillionaireMan (talk) 19:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Tap it in on google and you will get it. Also it is advertised on my college website and also on local papers website. MillionaireMan (talk) 19:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Its your job to provide evidence of notability, not mine. If you have a link, please post it here. Otherwise, it will remain deleted. Chrislk02 19:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Big Doe Camp

I am wondering why it was deleted so quickly. I saw the tag that it could be speedily deleted and i added the "holdon" tag and stated that it was a work in progress. I also went on to added a stub tag. You stated that wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a memories page and that there are thousands of camps but not articles for them all. well that is because nobody has created articles for all of them. i was planning on expanding the article to include a lot of information about the camp, how it operated, and the program, and details about the program which made it unique. this was not just any old camp either. lots of camps come and go but very few are around for over 50 years. the camp only closed down because the old couple running it couldn't let it go and pass it on to anyone else so when the old man died the camp closed down. what do i need to recreate the page? must I include a lot of more information about it. I marked it as a stub so it can grow into a larger article. there is lots of information out there about it. I also included a link to a reference to a listing of the camp. anybody looking at the page would know about who founded it, where it was located, the camp song, and what activities were available even though it was short. i do not see why you needed to delete it, please expand on what i need to include to recreate it and why you saw the need to delete it. Magnetawan (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

There is lots of informaiton out there about it. The Trent University Archives holds information about it. These two articles at the university just tell us that they have information archived from the Ontario CAmping Associaiton and the Canadian Camping Association including articles, photographes, and even a taped interview with the founder about the camp. These articles, pictures and the interview are not available online but the information is there to tell us that they do have it in their archives at the University. The Camp Channel also provides information about the camp . I hope this is sufficient in getting the page put back up. --Magnetawan (talk) 20:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Summit Spring Water (Harrison, Maine) Article

I am surprised that my informational article on Summit Spring/ Summit Spring Water was deleted. I provided source information for the images that I provided, yet you cited the images as examples of blatant copywright infringement. The images were copywrighted by www.summitspring.com, and I provided this information. I am new to Misplaced Pages and would appreciate if you please clarified your decision to delete the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nlars (talk • contribs) 14:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Chris that helped a lot. If I were to change the article so that it were solely about Summit Spring, including media coverage and referencing documents belonging to the Harrison Maine Historical Society, as well as providing the specific copywright specifications of the images would you be willing to undelete it so that I can make the changes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nlars (talk • contribs) 20:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Thierry Wasser

Thierry Wasser is the next in-house perfumer for Guerlain and the first one that is not of the Guerlain family. On top of that he is an important (and star) perfumer in the industry. Saying this person lacks notability is ridiculous. Sjschen. Judging from the previous comments, maybe you are a bit "quick" for the fast deletions? Sjschen (talk) 14:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

If a person is highly important for the creative work of a historic company of great distinction in a field, a article on them cannot be really considered vain. While you note the references as "questionable", note that gleaning background information about perfumers in general is difficult since they are generally hidden and obscured by their industry. osMoz , by the way is a good media resource in the flavour and fragrance industry and the site is by no means flaky. Being trigger happy may be for the most part the correct thing to do as an admin but I think in this case a mistake was make :) Sjschen (talk) 14:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I'll see what I can do. Sjschen (talk) 14:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Silenize

Dude like calm down! I'm contesting it, stop deleting it. I just need to know what's necessary and I asked that on the talk page. Stop being all delete-happy!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Legionstrong (talk • contribs)

Your band lists no reliable third party references to assert notability. If they exist, list them here and I will undelete your article. Chrislk02 14:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

The band has played at the local area concert hall "House of Rock" (in Eau Claire, Wisconsin) and if you go to this page http://www.house-of-rock.com/links.htm, all the bands that have played there are listed in alphabetical order. If you scroll to "S", Silenize is listed.

They've also played at Dewey's Roadhouse, and I'm not sure if this is a liable source, but: http://www.eauclairebars.com/2007_12_01_archive.html. Right at the top as "things to do" it lists that night's concert and the bands that played in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Legionstrong (talk • contribs) 14:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Could I get a copy of the article so I can get this information without the article being lost? I don't have access to the information necessary at this very moment but will.

Chuckie Akenz

Just curious if you noticed that the speedy tag was IP vandalism. I'd just reverted to Cluebot before you speedied. Look at the last couple of non-vandalism diffs? I think it may be notable. Thoughts? _{TravellingCari} 14:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

The article has 4 prior deletions, none of which were done by me. Based on previous deletion history I will assume it is not notable. Chrislk02 14:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

the last one appears to have been two years ago. Looking at the last version and a quick google, I'm not sure it was at all speedy eligible. It asserted some notability and there appears to be some RS coverage. Previous speedies were for non context and copyvio, last was 2006. I think something might have changed in the interim. That's just my thoughts. _{TravellingCari} 15:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Note, he's also had a verified TV appearance since then, I don't think this is speedy eligible _{TravellingCari} 15:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into this more, you appear to be correct. I have undelete the article. Sorry for any inconvenience! I sometimes go through hundereds and hundereds of speedies, and make a mistake every now and then. Thanks again for pointing it out. Chrislk02 15:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

No worries, we're all human :) It's hard to make heads or tales of it from the mess of IP vandalism. I'm going to see if I can at least clean it up. It may not pass AfD in the end but we'll see. I agree it does have an interesting history. _{TravellingCari} 15:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Good call on the s-protect. I was contemplating, wondering whether the IP would knock it off. It's an odd situation. _{TravellingCari} 16:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, when I saw it pop up again, I figured if I deleted it, somebody else might make the same mistake. Chrislk02 16:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, seems an odd article to edit war about (look at the last 50 contribs, less ours today). Not quite WP:LAME but getting closer. Have a good day! _{TravellingCari} 17:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

regarding high school musical 4

High school musical 4 which you just deleted, has been recreated about 8 times. is this a candidate for some salt? --Rocksanddirt (talk) 17:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Already done. Chrislk02 17:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of School of Athens

I saw you deleted and said it was a blatant violation of copyright. Could you explain further how you can to this conclusion? Remember (talk) 17:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
