Hello, I see you have questioned notability on many articles that I have worked on, all articles meet notabilty and are being added to frequently.
From the notability guideline: songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.
No article questioned is a stub, for example Skweeze Me Pleeze Me article has the same amount of information and yet that has not been questioned. Many songs have been a hit in several countries which chart data is shown.
There are also many articles based on singles which have smaller information and have never been questioned such as Queeen's One Year of Love and Pain Is So Close to Pleasure.
Notability of the two non-charting singles - Universe was Slade's last single and there is plenty of information to cover that. Give Us a Goal was used for the popular video game Fifa 09. The rest have charted and have enough information to avoid being labelled as a stub. No one else has questioned this. Ajsmith141 (talk) 12:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
I've done extensive research on this page and it all seems to check out. I don't understand why you would suggest that it should be removed. His music videos are affiliated with MTV, he has a reality show that has been picked up by the CW network, and he has a music and film deal with Universal. He's the youngest owner ever of a professional basketball team which happens to also be global (ABA) He's also one of Atlanta's top producing real estate agents. He is a socialite and exclusive party promoter in the greater Atlanta area as well. He seems to be extremely notable and worthy of a wikipedia entry as far as I'm concerned. His sites www.AdrianProvost.com and www.PlanetProvost.com are very notable, as well as his charity Life Juice. He's had numerous television appearances and is well known throughout society. I've reviewed plenty of articles on wikipedia and I can not seem to find justification for the deletion of this page, but the inclusion of some of those other articles. It doesn't seem to make sense to me, please help me understand this. I've spent a considerable amount of time researching the subject and even more time in contributing to the article. I would appreciate an explanation in further detail and would like to know the necessary steps to get this included so I don't feel as if I have wasted so much of my time. Thanks - With Kind Regards I Remain.74.166.45.168 (talk) 09:34, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! The drive is halfway over, so here are some mid-drive stats.
So far, 43 people have signed up for this drive. Of these, 25 have participated. If you signed up for the drive but haven't participated yet, it's not too late! Try to copy edit at least a few articles. Remember, if you have rollover words from the last drive, you will lose them if you do not participate in this drive. If you haven't signed up for the drive yet, you can sign up now.
We have eliminated two months from the backlog – January and February 2009. One of our goals is to eliminate as many months as possible from the 2009 backlog. Please help us reduce the size of this part of the backlog if you haven't already. Another goal is to reduce the entire backlog by 10%, or by 515 articles. Currently, we have eliminated 375 articles from the queue, so if each participant copy edits four more articles, we will reach that goal. Thank you for participating in the January 2011 drive. We anticipate it will be another big success! Your drive coordinators –S Masters (talk), Diannaa (Talk), The UtahraptorTalk to me, and Tea with toast (Talk) |

The article Science of unitary human beings has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
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. Xajaso (talk) 21:53, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

We're going to need all the firepower we can get, so please remind your friends to join up as well. In case you didn't know, wikification is fairly simple: just add wiki markup, links, and similar formatting. Thanks for joining; we're looking forward to an exciting time this month!

Guild of Copy Editors January 2011 Backlog elimination drive
Greetings from the January 2011 Backlog elimination drive! We have reached the end of the month and the end of another successful drive; thanks to all who participated.
If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the November 2010 Backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering the barnstars within the next couple of weeks.

On 8 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tietê Bus Terminal, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Tietê Bus Terminal in São Paulo, Brazil, is the largest bus terminal in Latin America and the second largest in the world? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi! I am skeptical about your listing "nursing research" as a general category for the article on randomized trials.
There is overlap, but the article of randomized trials is not contained in the real-world category of nursing research, because such trials are also used by dentists (some of whom are not nurses), etc.: Would you please undo your addition?
(I am a fan of nurses, having come from a line of two nurses and having taught nurses statistics. Let me know if I can help in the future.) Thanks!
Please help! The February 2011 Wikification Backlog Elimination Drive is almost complete. Please help, as the backlog is still very large. Still exceeding 20,000 articles! The goal is 18,000 or less. Lets see if we can do it! We're going to need all the firepower we can get, so please remind your friends to help as well.Thank you for all your help thus far!

I am sorry if I have sent this message twice.
Yesterday I added a link to the resource box of the Legal Nurse Consultant page which you removed.
I added the site because it was the only neutral resource I can find about the legal nurse consultant field.
The organizations listed are rumored to be a scam ring of connected sites seeking money from prospective legal nurse consultants including NALNC.org See nalnc.info/.../warrant-issued-for-the-arrest-of-nalnc-operator-and-owner-of-nalnc.org, this LNC group on linked in http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Beware-these-scammers-if-youre-1525047.S.46621055?qid=39344144-dec9-413a-9fce-5d112fba248a&goback=.gmp_1525047 for reference.
The contact information provided on such sites is unverifiable and fake.
I do not think it is fair that you removed the one link that does not ask for money, but provides free resources. I have re-added it and hope you do not remove it again.

Good evening, I don't understand why my article "controlled language in MT" was removed. I think this article contains important and evaluated information and references was cited according to ISO.

Thank you very much.

The opposers at your RfA are opposing for the most ridiculous reasons and I hope some more rational editors will support you soon. Opposing a candidate for something that happened 5 and 6 months ago that is done per policy is beyond comprehension for me. I truly hope this passes, but if not, that you don't get discouraged. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:05, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Jsfouche. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your support in my RfA. When I first saw your support rationale, I thought, "uh oh, he meant to support the other guy" and was afraid that would end awkwardly, but you handled it quite gracefully! As a side note, I hope to see you at RfA again in the future; Eagles247 (an editor I have a lot of respect for) has spoken very highly of you, and I have no doubt that you have the skills to address the concerns from the oppose column if you decide to make another go at it. HJ opposed my first RfA too, and ended up co-nomming my second, so I think people are willing to give a fresh assessment after a couple of months. Best, 28bytes (talk) 17:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, Jsfouche/Archive 3. Just a little request. It seems that Twinkle, quite annoyingly, doesn't mark pages as patrolled even when you tag them for WP:CSD, WP:PROD or WP:AFD. I've just come across an article, that you'd tagged for WP:CSD on the unpatrolled list. I'm sure you already know, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the article, there will be a little link in square brackets that says [mark this page as patrolled]. Clicking that means it'll get taken off the unpatrolled list and so no-one else will come across it on that list. It's not your fault, I know; it's Twinkle's. But until they fix it, it'd be great if you could click that link just before you tag an article. I've marked that one as patrolled. If you didn't find the article via the new pages list then just ignore me; you won't have had the option to mark it as patrolled. Sorry to be a pain. Keep up the good work. — Fly by Night (talk) 02:12, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I have removed the speedy on this article. I'm a bit surprised that anyone might think that the Southern Fried Chicken brand might have no prospect of sources demonstrating significant impact being found, particularly as the article did mention the Channel 4 documentary that featured the franchise at the time when you nominated it. If in doubt, a PROD might be a friendlier alternative. Thanks Fæ (talk) 09:06, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Hey,
Sorry, I saw that you declined the Future Times stub that I put together. How can I provide further verification of importance? Is it just a matter of citing more sources? A list of releases? I am sympathetic to the cause of keeping out non-relevant information, but we're a fairly popular dance music label. If Woodsist and Sacred Bones -- which are both fairly popular independent record labels -- can have short, to the point, wiki pages, why are we not allowed? I'm happy to add further citations and quotes, if that's what's necessary.

Dear Jsfouche,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately you haven't given me any idea of what you are looking for. The entry as it stands does address why he is notable and is little different in content to that of his contemporary, Neil Armfield. Perhaps you could be more forthcoming so I can get an idea of what exactly is missing. This is my first wiki entry so I am somewhat flummoxed to have to ask the same question many times to be given the same brief answer no matter who is reviewing it.
Beatnut88 (talk) 06:53, 7 August 2011 (UTC)beatnut88

I disagree with your decision to decline. Articles such as The Bridge (M. C. Escher) have even less content, but have their own articles. If all of Escher's work were merged into the M. C.

Just curious why you performed this edit when "Associate degree" is the correct category. Slip of the finger or some weird category renaming thing with which I am unfamiliar? ElKevbo (talk) 18:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
I am deprodding all articles nominated for deletion on the mere reason they have been unreferenced for X months if they look like topics for which references can be found. Unreferenced is not a reason for deletion; unreferenceable of course is. Nominating multiple articles for deletion on the basis of a rationale not valid under Deletion policy is probably not a good idea. I really respect your work on this nursing, long neglected at Wikipedia. I can understand your impatience at the articles that would need extensive rewriting, especially since you are almost the only person willing to work substantially on these topics. But the solution is to recruit more editors. The interim solution, which I adopt when faced with this sort of situation, is to try to make at least a minimal fix, often by deleting what seems like inappropriate material. I'm doing this to most of the articles I deprod, as I don't think it best practice with such articles to leave all the work to others, I try to fix what I can of at least some of the articles I think need to be fixed and kept--I try not to just say keep or deprod & then ignore them. I cannot fix everything, any more than you can, but this is a cooperative project.
I don't want to oppose you at deletion discussions , considering the good work you are doing. Perhaps you can see it a little my way. DGG ( talk ) 21:53, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Jsfouche, I'm had a look at the nomination for Nursing, and I'm afraid I've failed it. I appreciate you've put a lot of work into it recently but it's not quite at the standard for a full review yet. I've added some comments at Talk:Nursing/GA1. As well as adding more references and sorting out maintenance tags, I'd recommend taking this to peer review before a further nomination, because it's such a big topic. Let me know if you have any questions. --BelovedFreak 10:53, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi there
My name's Kay Anderson, I work for a music management company called Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group. Our clients include System of a Down, Deftones and Alice In Chains,
I attempted to set up a new page for a new client called "Jackson Guthy" today. The page was immediately removed for containing promotional material. If you could please help advise what I can do to get a new page set up for Jackson, that would be hugely appreciated? I'm unsure what I did wrong here!

I believe you asked for the removal of my article regarding multicultural citizenship, which is quite different than the "multiple citizenship" page. Additionally, you may want to actually read the article before noting it for deletion, "multicultural citizenship" is a more specific form of citizenship and therefore deserves its own page. On Will Kymlicka's page, there is a stub for a "multicultural citizenship" page. enjoy the holiday! — Preceding unsigned comment added by S.beifel (talk • contribs) 01:55, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
They're not really related. Multicultural citizenship is when there is a person who is a citizen of one country, but retains the culture or language from another. Multiple citizenship is having more than one form of citizenship. There is minimal overlap that I can see. Additionally, as I mentioned before, there wouldn't be a pre-established stub for an article on Kymlicka's page if it weren't its own separate topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S.beifel (talk • contribs) 07:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

There are numerous definitive sources I can refer to but it seems as though you are on a witch hunt here. I have legitimate citations and my information and accomplishments are relevant when I e takes the time to educate yourself rather than indiscriminately delete my life.

Then why ask for citations and then find another reason to remove my information. Serve me well here on wiapedia? I've been around here for quite a whole and never had any trouble before. I complied with what you requested yet you found yet another reason to totally delete my information rather than make attemps to suggest an edit or revision. Let's see, how would you feel, brother? Anyone ever deleted your life's accomplishments from this venue? Doubt it!
It's just easier to sit back and do your dirty work and not provide adequate information or explanation. You say I'm being insensitive and show a lack of good faith, I would say after going back on what you requested was a sign, a true sign of a lack of faith and insensitivity.

Hi Jsfouche: Thank you for looking at my new Waretown, NJ article which I submitted for review and which was rejected because one already exists. Please note, however, that my new article has nothing to do with the Waretown in Ocean County, NJ. My Waretown was located in Gloucester County, NJ and ceased to exist around 1874. The Waretown you linked me to is still there in Ocean county and is still thriving. I did mention that in the first paragraph but perhaps it was not clear enough. In any case I was hoping you could take another look and I'm sure you'll see it is a totally different Waretown article. I am open to whatever recommendations you might make. I apologize if I am doing things screwy but I'm totally new to all this (my first time experience) and it has been very daunting trying to do everything correctly. Thanks! Rich Ware (Tresprin48).

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback on my new article contribution "Bounce House". However, I disagree that this information should be listed under "Inflatable Castle". Inflatable castle is a specific bounce house, in a broad area. There are many more bounce houses beyond just inflatable castles. Also, bounce house is a very well- searched term and should really have its own listing.

Hi
You edited my article on Mufti Ismail Moosa Menk , you state i need to add more information on why he should be included on the wiki , however i have added whatever i could find , please advise me with a example on what you mean my more information , as i have read through all the articles and i still don't understand what it is that your looking for . the information you see is all there is about him , he is a Islamic scholar that is well known around the world and some sources are not online nor in the library as he has not done any books as stated by him , he does it for the good and not for profit . the only information on him are on you tube where his channel has many lectures by him touring the world. he is a example and beacon of what is Islam and the reason why i would like to have him on here is because he represent what is real Islam ,not the terrorist induced propaganda that has been put out there. Please review this carefully and i urge you to have a look at his YouTube channel : MufitMenroxs and you will see a man that is propagating a true and peaceful Islam and also removing fears and misconception about it.

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors March 2012 Backlog elimination drive! This is the most successful drive we have had for quite a while. Here is your end-of-drive wrap-up newsletter. Participation Of the 70 people who signed up for this drive, 40 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Special acknowledgement goes out to Lfstevens, who did over 200 articles, most of them in the last third of the drive, and topped all three leaderboard categories. You're a superstar! Stfg and others have been pre-checking the articles for quality and conformance to Wikipedia guidelines; some have been nominated for deletion or had some preliminary clean-up done to help make the copy-edit process more fun and appealing. Thanks to all who helped get those nasty last few articles out of the target months. Progress report During this drive we were successful in eliminating our target months—October, November, and December 2010—from the queue, and have now eliminated all the 2010 articles from our list. We were able to complete 500 articles this month! End-of-drive results and barnstar information can be found here. When working on the backlog, please keep in mind that there are options other than copy-editing available; some articles may be candidates for deletion, or may not be suitable for copy-editing at this time for other reasons. The {{GOCEreviewed}} tag can be placed on any article you find to be totally uneditable, and you can nominate for deletion any that you discover to be copyright violations or completely unintelligible. If you need help deciding what to do, please contact any of the coordinators. Thank you for participating in the March 2012 drive! All contributions are appreciated.

Hello, Jsfouche. My nickname here is Lecen and I usually contribute on articles related to Brazilian 19th century. There are a few editors, including myself, which are trying to bring back from the dead the Wikiproject Brazil. Usually editors interested on Brazil find themselves utterly isolated when contributing here, with no one to rely on. There is no help to review an article we wrote, to share thoughts about an article, to resolve a content dispute, abolutely nothing. We want to change that once and for all. We want to create a place where an editor can feel at home, where he knows there will be others who will do their best to help him anyway they can. If you're itnerested, the first step is to place your name on the list of participants of the Empire of Brazil task force and add it to your watchlist. The task force will be the place where everyoen can talk to each other and where we'll start reviving Wikiproject Brazil. Please, think about it. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 01:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

The drive begins on July 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on July 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to eliminate the articles tagged in April, May and June 2011 from the queue and to complete all requests placed before the end of June. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 6 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in April–June 2011", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Dank, Diannaa and Stfg. >>> Sign up now <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

I have no idea what kind of shape the two previous versions were that had those two versions deleted, but the current version... though it started off as pretty crappy, has gone through some improvements. What was nominated as a 93-word unsourced stub, is now somwhat better than when I found it. You are invited to revisit the article, and the above deletion discussion. Best, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Articles for Creation urgently needs YOUR help!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial. |
Thanks for selecting the nursing logo. I am proposing a better version of the same logo and offering to find or make & dedicate it to the public domain. See my comments Tradimus (talk) 03:26, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
