Hi, ps I have been trying to search all over the Wikipedia site to find out how to prove Johnny Depth is notable, however with what I do find, I am having a difficult time understanding how to proceed. I appears I didn't code it the right way, with ((hangon)) or something but I am not sure, It is confusing. Can I just say that I find this person notable due to the number of books and magazines he has published and continues to publish under the name Shh! Productions similar to Hugh Hefner, and Howard Hughes in many ways.
What can I do next to have this submission included? Please share. Thanks, ```` (even signing name is confusing. Am I supposed to sign with ```?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shh3d (talk • contribs) 00:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, just a quick courtesy note. You prompted the speedy deletion of the page 1d black. This is a widely used alternative to the term Penny Black, so I reinstated it. The abbreviation "d" was used for pre-decimal currency in the UK, and is not a typo for "p". Try googling 1d black. Cheers Dave (talk) 21:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Would it be sufficient to start off the Zealandi Wave Power article with this sentence: "In the Earth's gravity at sea level, one Watt is approximately the power of one cubic foot of water in a one foot (peak height) wave crest filling the wave trough in one minute." - referenced to GEWP?

Hi Alexf!
Trance.nu is a community with over 60 000 member, been online since 1999 and nets over 10 000 unique visitors daily. I'd like you to reconsider the removal of the page.

Hi, i thoroughly enjoyed reading your 'tips for the angry new user'.

I'm contesting the deletion of "Sybris" The page should exist according to the wikipedia guidelines:
"It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.[1]"
Article from the San Francisco Chronicle:
Article from Illinois Entertainer:
"5. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)."
Sybris has two albums out, one on Flameshovel Records whose roster includes Make Believe, Russian Circles and Maritime and the other on Absolutely Kosher Records whose roster includes The Wrens, Sunset Rubdown and Goblin Cock.
"7. Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability."
Sybris is one of the top indie-rock bands in Chicago earning invitations to Lollapalooza and Virgin Festival.
These should be more than adequate qualifications. Sybris (talk) 01:17, 27 March 2008 (UTC)eric mahle
You've previously twice blocked an IP 84.1.245.51 for vandalism, so you're self-selected as a good person to ask. ;-)
After looking through the most recent spate of edits I've left a "stop changing numbers to incorrect values" message on the talk page.
Their first vandalism was elaborate but was rejected, and they seem to have settled on just changing numbers on football player pages to hide their vandalism. That they have been reverted by various IPs doesn't affect them.
Anyway, I popped up when they progressed to changing the population of Madrid by a few dozen percent. Considering that I can't find one decent edit after checking more than 10, and they're up to about 50 since December, what would be an appropriate next block interval? They went away for nearly a month after the last block, but picked up again where they left off. Shenme (talk) 05:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alex,
I have tried to edit the albinism page to enter a website address in "Albinism in Humans" and have attempted to put in * Albinism, through the eyes of Bianca A look at albinism from a person with OCA1 and how it has effected her over the past 25 years.
But it has come back with last warning, you are vandalising the site. The web site is about my daughter who has the most extreme case of albinism and is used by Universities and schools for there projects, infact it was one of them that suggested that I put the link in, which is why I am a newbie..... got off to a good start there then. We have been helping families from around the world for the past 6 years (montage page)so hopefully you can allow this now you realise that it is a genuine site to do with albinism.
Any more questions and i would be happy to answer..... lookforward to your reply.

In deletion log of this article you`ve written "Real person; doesn't indicate importance/significance". This way all articles about youtube celebrities should be deleted.

Alex, I received a message from you asserting that someone using my computer's IP address had vandalised the Dmitri Mendeleev page. I've checked the history of the page and, indeed, it shows my IP address as making a change in early March. Clicking on that IP address also shows two other changes on the same day to another page. I am puzzled and disturbed by this, since I had nothing to do with either change and have no interest in either subject. No-one else has access to my computer.

5 April 2008 Hello, I was trying to create a Wikipedia page concerning the WALL-E Builders Group. I am new to Wikipedia and tried to create a page with information that is correct and gives a base to allow for further information.
I included links to the information that shows my facts are correct.
Very shortly after I posted the page it was marked for deletion.
Could you please help me understand why this was marked and is there anything that I can add to keep it from being deleted again?
I also wanted to connect my page to the WALL-E page.
Sincerely,
OhioAstromech I can supply my name if needed
Hope your having a good day. Recently I was trying to upload an article and it ended up getting deleted. I am new to Wikipedia (as in this is my first article) and figuring out how to appropriately put my ideas across is hard when it is constantly deleted by someone else. mind you there are various musicians throughout wiki at the same level as me whom retain Wikipedia articles and nothing happens to them (they DONT get deleted), I mean these are articles (the ones I mentioned others having) that were made when they were kids and unsigned and not doing anything that 200000 people haven’t already done before. I have a friend that lists like 3 shows done all as a kid and all the band members were kids and were unsigned and not professionally recorded, (the only tapes of any of these shows are privately owned vhs home videos) only the people who were at the shows or whom were close friends with them know who their band is, if this is enough to get on wiki than how come mine isn’t? I work very hard and travel a lot, play heavily and support drug reform. I am a SERIOUS musician trying to put the basics of myself (which can be cited- if I could figure out how to fully cite things and not get things deleted halfway through on me) up on a domain that’s open to public access. that’s all, im not going to profit in any way from this, these are things that are written elsewhere about myself both by myself and other individuals and if you want to listen to my music, it’s ALL OVER the internet. which is sort of the main reason im writing, I met a few people that work for wiki and they told me they do what you do (here at least), but the thing is they have to make sure your not self promoting/promoting others but it has to be something that is citable- there other places backing it up/talking about it (the subject).
How could I make this article presentable in a way that is satisfactory to both the standards of Wikipedia and the author (I)?
Also; how can I fully cite things????
Thank you so much for reading and helping maintain of wikipedia, Alex.
Take care. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canvaslovedrops (talk • contribs) 18:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you please explain why you deleted the Quantic Designs entry I made today? (Quantic_Designs)
They hold the registered trademark for 'Quantic' in the UK so it is appropriate to list them under the Quantic page.

Hi Alexf,
You just deleted my O'Connor's Landing article. There is no promotion as it is a defunct business from last century, yet it is an important part of Indian Lake's history as it was one of the original lake resorts and meant fond memories of the area for generations of families. Some have heard of it, but I can't find any internet information on it, so I thought of Wiki. I do have a good reference for much of the information, but was going to edit it once the article was posted, along with adding some photos. Considering this additional info, do you 1. have any suggestions on how this would be wiki-worthy? or 2. would you suggest a wiki alternative for this type of article?
Thank you for your time,

Alexf,
I see this occasional editing of genres for the Frankie Valli article and am a bit puzzled.
This artist has performed standards (I would call this Pop), performed R&B (as far back as when he recorded Otis Blackwell material as part of The Four Lovers), performed Doo Wop as well as Rock as part of The 4 Seasons. It could even be said there is a Motown influence (never more evident than on The 4 Seasons recording, "Opus 17"). I suppose one could combine Pop and Rock into Pop Rock, but I find that category over done.
I would state the genres for Frankie Valli as Pop, R&B, Doo Wop, Rock.
Also, I would capitalize the genres as Doo Wop, Pop, Pop Rock, Rock, etc. I think there's precedent for that.
I make this comment knowing it is somewhat subjective. Since I wrote some of the text, I have an interest in this.
Thank you,

Alexf.
Your pessimistic attitude and harshness towards new members of Wikipedia is not a part of this website I appreciate. Rather, your frequent bans of IP addresses and deletion of select pages is confusing and misplaced. I don't understand why not only you shun new people away from Wikipedia but encourage them to go to other websites. Of course, I do not expect you to take any initiative off this statement. You will probably just delete this post as soon as it has passed your prying eyes. I'll wait for my vandalism ban.

Dear Alex,
I saw you marked my article entitled "exposer" for speedy deletion, because you felt it was an ad.
I would like to spotlight the fact that it is an article about a free program, not a product. Nothing is for sale here.
Another thing I noticed just before you deleted the article is that an example (fake) URL I typed for explanational purpose was displayed as a real URL by the wiki editor, which maybe has misled you to think the article was an ad.
So, In case you don't change your mind, could you please at least let me access my article as I do not have a copy anywhere else.
Thank you in advance, Yours

I still don't understand why it was deleted. I re-read it carefully (and the notability guideline) and I found that although unfinished, it already gives usefull information (that solved once my problem when I wanted to host file on my home computer). Too bad.
Thank you for making it available again, I made a copy so you can delete it for good now. I will use another place for this article and forget about wikipedia.
