Everything on Wikipedia is supposed to be supported with reliable sources, partially to satisfy the verifiability requirement. The stub looks totally legit, so it's not as big a deal as when a word is suspected to be a neologism, hoax, etc., but I found the article while doing some new page patrolling, saw that it had no sources, and tagged it as such. Presumably, there's an economics textbook out there that could easily be put in as a source. -- Icarus ( Hi!) 05:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
I know you worked on this article some about a year ago. I've added lots of information to it and I thought maybe you could head over there, and check it out. It had marks for neutrality, verfiability, and cleanup. I've made improvements in these areas, but I don't want to remove these labels until fresh eyes have seen the article. Thanks, Xpanzion 06:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
You created the above page as a redirect to Blacklist I cannot see why, so have tagged as a speedy deletion candidate, Davidprior 14:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on
Mohammad Saleheen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - Tragic Baboon ( banana receptacle) 18:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article Evelyn Hernandez, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Srice13 20:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
From User talk:Srice13:
I have no idea why the Evelyn Hernandez article is not encyclopedic. Her story was in the news, covered by CNN and Court TV. It is absurd to delete the article. Please tell me where to go to make my case. Kingturtle 00:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
Back in 2003, you posted a request for candidates for a reading list at the high school where you were teaching U.S. History. I added my candidates to the list in April 2006. Apparently, you have moved to New York since then. Are you still teaching?
In any event, I'm curious what the net result of your request was. Did you build a list of "outside reading" on U.S. history? If so, could you share it with me? My Wikipedia e-mail is enabled so you can e-mail it to me if that is more convenient for you.
Thanks.

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Heroin1.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lynndie-chair.jpe. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Hbdragon88 05:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kingturtle. I'm a new user, "enroled" with the new user id Mau_db. Here is my request, but I did a mistake writing my e-mail address: the correct one is @email.it, not @mail.com. How can I do to correct that? I'm a contributor of it.wiki, my User page is this. If you want I'll write an e-mail from the right address or anythng else to verify my identity. The e-mail address is not the same of italian registration, if it is necessary I can write you that, so I can resolve the matter. If you want, you can write me in my it.wiki talk or to the right e-mail address, or in my Ip talk (but I've a mobile ip). Here I left the same message to User:Samir, he suggests me to contact a bureaucrat or trying to usurp the account. What can I exactly do? Thank you for all. -- 79.3.210.203 18:52, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello there, my username is The Random Editor. I usually go by Random though. I created my username planning to never change it, until recently when I wanted to change my username to Random. I was checking the list of users, and noticed unfortunatly that Random had already been taken. I though about usurptions but he had one edit so that was out of the question. I left a message on his talk page requesting that he change his username if he was not really going to edit a lot. I recieved no reply. he has made one and only one edit. Is there anyway at all I could change my username to Random? -- Random Say it here! 22:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, the correct syntax for a redirect page is :-

Oh, you're welcome.
Are you from that area, by any chance? A couple of fellows who are from that area have suggested that the English language convention that a person from Afghanistan can be called an "Afghan" is inappropriate. They have told me that this is really only appropriate for members of the Pashtun ethnic group. They have suggested we use "Afghanistani", similar to Pakistani.
Have you heard this idea before? What do you think of it?

Another thing I thought of - it would be helpful if someone could figure out how to exclude the ALCS and NLCS lines for the pre-1969 Series; I don't quite have the knack for figuring out how to insert the "if" code that would do the trick.

Thanks for uploading Image:Prison-chair.jpe. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:27, 11 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Remember the dot ( talk) 02:27, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction. I have been tasked with creating and administering a relatively large intranet site using MediaWiki software. As we are developing this project, it is becoming apparent that we need some ideas on how to manage and administer our wiki. We chose MediaWiki as our software with the intention of modeling our site with the very familiar Wikipedia. I can really use some assistance understanding how Wikipedia is managed to put those lessons learned into our project. Do you know of someone who might be able to talk to me as I continue the development of our intranet site? Any advice you can offer would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hallo, I created the Earl Wilson (disambiguation) page as part of the Wikipedia:Suggestions for name disambiguation. I see you've moved it to Earl Wilson, and renamed the baseball player article to Robert Earl Wilson. I don't think that complies with WP:Name "Adding middle names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (that is: if this format of the name is not the commonly used one to refer to this person) is not advised." - this must surely also apply to adding a first name not usually used. All the external links seem to refer to the name "Earl Wilson", so that is the name he is best known by. The links in the navbox template at the bottom of his page now lead to the dab page, the infobox disagrees with the article name... in short, I disagree with your changes and plan to revert them, but thought I would run this past you first.
