The article Polyrhythm Addicts has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:02, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Carter was the only person in the AMG article mentioned as a sideman (I don't have physical access to any of his records). If you've got the full list of personnel, please add them - the article is so thin as it is, anything extra would be useful. Chubbles (talk) 02:55, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cossie - yes the list is complete as far as wikipedia should be concerned. The only potential additions might be Corey Wilkes and Jaribu Shahid who joined the group for Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City if they ever become notable enough. One time album contributers should be treated as guests not members as should Fontella Bass who contributed on two albums. DISEman (talk) 01:24, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I put all the roller skater categories back, because they should not have been emptied before being brought forward for deletion. That said, I have no particular interest in whether or not the categories are kept. So please feel free to bring them up for discussion again, as long as you don't empty them first. I will say that all athletes need a "(Nationality) (sport players)" category, so if Category:American roller skaters is not kept, it will have to become something, such as being split between Category:American inline skaters and Category:American roller derby skaters and the like.--Mike Selinker (talk) 21:32, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Enja Records, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages David Friedman and Bobby Jones (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

It appears that you recently tried to give David Becker Tribune a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into David Becker. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. -- John of Reading (talk) 19:39, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Poor Boyz Productions 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 an organization or company, 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. Under 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 this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance 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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:13, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Tony Lemans.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Hi. :) Please don't remove attribution templates like {{1911}} from articles as you did here when the content remains in the article. These are not only necessary for verification, but required by the plagiarism guideline. Without these templates, our readers have no way of identifying copied content and misunderstandings like this one arise, which not only require that other editors spend time investigating but, if investigation fails to identify the source, may result in the loss of information that we are legally entitled to reproduce.

Greetings, I saw the series of chops you did on various reed organ articles today. I'm not thrilled that you did this without advance warning, no pinging involved authors, and the one single Talk page post you made was in reply to a 3 year old merge request.

I'd say this was inappropriate: even absolute worst-case scenario these articles were not so "wrong" that they needed to be urgently corrected. What would've been so bad about posting at each of the articles saying "here's my idea, what do you guys think?" Maybe post at the India and Musical Instruments wikiprojects to let folks know. User:Opus88888 created the Harmonium (hand-pumped) fork back in July without mentioning it to anyone, and that wasn't cool either, but neither is your undiscussed move. I'm considering just reverting all those changes back to the status quo ante until we can get some consensus for these moves. Any reason why I shouldn't just do that? Speaking procedurally, not in terms of "here's why Cosprings is correct musicologically". I just think this kind of extensive label tweaking of the reed organ family shouldn't be done by one person in one day without any discussion.

Hi Cosprings. I note that you are getting a bunch of link-to-disambig-pages notices. Are you understanding about not linking to disambig pages? For instance, one would (basically) never put a link to (let's say) Sebastian Cabot in an article, since there are two Sebastian Cabots and so that link just takes the reader to a page that looks like this:

Sebastian Cabot may refer to:

Sebastian Cabot (explorer) (1476–1557), Italian explorer

Sebastian Cabot (actor) (1918–1977), British actor

which is seldom useful. Instead, you would want to write [[Sebastian Cabot (actor)|Sebastian Cabot]]. The first part (before the pipe character (the "|")) describes where the link goes; the second part (after the pipe character) describes what the user sees. (I use "where it goes - what it shows" as a mnemonic to remember which is which.) This way, the user still sees "Sebastian Cabot" but the link takes him directly to our page for Charles Sebastian Thomas Cabot, the actor.

If the name is extremely unusual (Mortomero Quisenberry, say) then probably there isn't a disambig page and you can just write "[[Mortomero Quisenberry]]". If the name is very usual (Ed Smith, say) then there most certainly will be a disambig page and you'll need to use write "[[Ed Smith (actor)|Ed Smith]]" or whatever. If it's in-between you'll have to check. Generally you should check by following the link yourself.

Any questions about this, feel free to message me. Cheers and happy editing, Herostratus (talk) 04:20, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Just wanted to call your attention to brand new topic Quarteto Novo and invite you to edit or change it, based on your interest in related articles about Brazilian musicians who were band members or collaborators.

Interestingly, no article existed for the band itself, so I just created one. It's based on the Portuguese version (my translation), adding some links and some categories suitable for English WikiPedia, and InterWiki links for the Languages section. I then back-tracked to articles about the band members and collaborators, and added inlinks to the new topic.

Since it's based on the PT article, which did not have a ton of references, neither does this version. That's a defect which should be fixed, and a lot of the claims made in the article should be checked out and either referenced, or removed (notably, the opinion stated in the last sentence of the article).

Feel free to have a look at
