This page exists for archiving things like talkback templates, that need to be deleted from the main talk page immediately, and as such might otherwise be placed out of sequence.

Hello, and thanks for creating this article. It's been tagged for notability for nearly 4 years now. Could you look at WP:NSONG and see if you can improve the article? Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 09:41, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right. Among the many notability arguments is that the article sat as barely a stub for 4 years... it really wasn't worth saving. Thanks for making it a redirect rather than a delete, so that I was able to see what exactly was lost -- the answer, of course, was "pretty much nothing."

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dark Blue (song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page One Tree Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 18:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jsharpminor, I just wanted to let you know that I have granted the reviewer userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges. A full list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on will be at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, please contact me and I will remove it for you at any time.

• Wikipedia:Reviewing, the guideline on reviewing
• Wikipedia:Pending changes, the summary of the use of pending changes
• Wikipedia:Protection policy#Pending changes protection, the policy determining which pages can be given pending changes protection by administrators.

Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 04:08, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reporting vandalous users to WP:AIV. In general, sysops don't like to block if there has been no editing since the final warning; that defeats the purpose of giving the warning in the first place. In the future, with users like 168.169.225.128 and 204.113.68.99, please report when vandalism has been so egregious as to continue past a final warning. Thanks again for your help! ~ Amory (u • t • c) 19:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You undid my edit and wrote that it "didn't appear constructive". I changed that translation from "large-bottomed ants" to "big-ass ants" because translated literally from Spanish to English: "hormiga" is "ant" and "culo" is "ass". "-ona" is a suffix that means "big" or "large".

Therefore hormiga is "ant" and "culona" is "big/large-ass" not "bottom".

I'll leave it alone then. Jsharpminor (talk) 08:45, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You undid my edit of Atlanta People because you said it was not constructive due to my recent change in the Hattiesburg MS notables section. I was using the Hattiesburg as a test to see if I properly formatted my chages the correct way before putting an edit in the Atlanta section. This information is not made up. My father is Thomas O Barnes, the board of directors of Barnes Group Inc, and if you do not believe me, contact him. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.246.245.124 (talk) 08:42, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you. Really, I do. But that doesn't mean that your father merits inclusion in the wikipedia article on people from Atlanta. If there have been multiple independent reliable sources that published substantial material about him, then please add those sources to any articles or contributions that you write. Otherwise, it just looks like an editor with a substantial conflict of interest attempting to gain notoriety by adding someone that they know to Wikipedia. Thanks. Jsharpminor (talk) 08:45, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wait, I think I see this. You're Byron Barnes, and you're adding yourself to the list of people from Atlanta? Wikipedia isn't the Yellow Pages. We don't need articles on everyone and everything that exists. The list of people from Atlanta is short for a reason. Jsharpminor (talk) 08:52, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

...for reverting the recent vandalism on my user talk page. You sure seem to have made a couple of friends today. The second of those two edits may qualify for revision deletion under criterion #2 or #3. If you want that edit removed from your talk page history, please drop a message with any of the administrators on this list. Thanks again. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:32, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite welcome.

I certainly hope it takes more than a guess at my country of origin to qualify for a RevDel! (Now if he'd posted my home address and names of my children, that'd be a different story...)

Anyway, keep calm and carry on! Jsharpminor (talk) 18:17, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, re our enthusiastic but non-communicating Nepalese new editor. It's my understanding that an editor is allowed to remove BLPPROD templates if he/she has added a source. Also these police bios don't constitute "vandalism", they are just beginner's attempts. A chief of a country's police is generally notable even for a small country and all the recent ones have plentiful hits in print and press. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:00, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want people reverting messages on my talk page unless they're clear vandalism such as an attack comment. You reverted a comment on my talk page an IP made about a revert I did. That's just commenting, which isn't vandalism. Lugia2453 (talk) 20:44, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry about that! Jsharpminor (talk) 20:52, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Arlene's Flowers lawsuit has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Wikipedia is not the place for news reports. See WP:NOTNEWS.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not just a collection of links to other sources, so I wonder why you created this short article without telling us what the case was about (other than in the broadest terms), or, more significantly, what the outcome was - you gave the financial figure but didn't say "who won". Even for a stub article, I'd have thought it more important to tell us the outcome than just quote the size of the settlement! PamD 11:56, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Verity Gospel Music Group Logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 14:57, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
