Proposed deletion of Dropships (Battletech)[edit]
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dropships (Battletech), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Bsnowball (talk) 14:42, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
- The guideline which should sort it out (WP:FICTION) is being argued over, so I asked for advice at Wikipedia:Fiction/Noticeboard#More_fictional_notability. Hopefully someone will explain wether it should stay or be merged upwards or whatever. Thanx, Ben.--Bsnowball (talk) 14:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
- no, it's still there. just may be deleted if no-one challenges it (i mean Dropships (Battletech))--Bsnowball (talk) 14:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Potential deletion of North Woods Camp[edit]
Just giving you a heads-up that I am considering putting the North Woods Camp article, which you created, up for deletion. My reason for this is that I believe there are no 'reliablie, published sources' (see Wikipedia:Reliable Sources for more details on this concept) independant of the camp or the operating organisation (YMCA Greater Boston) to demonstrate that the subject of the article meets the Wikipedia:Notability inclusion guideline, or the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy. I also believe that there is nothing significant, unique, or 'notable' about the camp or its history to justify an article about it.
I am going to stay my hand for a day or two, and do some source-finding of my own, but if I do not find anything, I will list the article at Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion. If you have any sources of information for the camp, please provide them. Your help is appreciated, and if you have any questions or comments, drop me a message at my talk page: User talk:Saberwyn. -- saberwyn 07:13, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I understand where you are coming from: I worked there as a foreign counselor a few years ago. Unfortunately, if there are no sources independant of the article's subject, it is considered inappropriate for such an article to be on Wikipedia. The problem is with not independant sources, the only sources for information are the subject itself (which often leads to bias and a lack of neutrality) or peoples personal experiences and opinion (which is forbidden under the Wikipedia:No original research policy)
- I've had a look in a few places, but have had no luck myself. I am going to list the article at Articles for Deletion, where it will have approximately five days for consideration: maybe someone else can find what we have been unable to.
- If you have any further questions, or need any help here or elsewhere on Wikipedia, please feel free to contact me. -- saberwyn 07:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you[edit]
The article you created: North Woods Camp may be deleted from Wikipedia.
There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:
The faster you respond on this page, the better chance the article you created can be saved.
Finding sources which mention the topic of your article is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted {{Findsources3}}:
- Find sources for North Woods Camp: google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.
Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:
- List the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
- You can request a mentor to help explain all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.
- When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept. - You can vote to merge the article into a larger or better established article on the same topic.
If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 12:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Shadowrun error[edit]
It's not a problem, could happen to anyone. For reference all I did was click on the history tab at the top. Choose the version of the article immediately before your accidental edit, click edit, scrolled down and copied the entire Novel section. Then I went to the current version and pasted it in on a normal edit. No real harm done, pretty much everything can be fixed on Wikipedia, and it was obviously not meant as vandalism. Take care.

AfD nomination of List of fictional spacecraft[edit]
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of fictional spacecraft. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of fictional spacecraft. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:09, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello, please note that "privatisation" is a correct spelling in British English. In Wikipedia we are not supposed to change British spellings to American ones in an article that is written in British English, or vice versa. Please see WP:ENGVAR. Thanks -- Alarics (talk) 11:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello - I was on AFS-7 (FTG3 and plank owner) in 3rd Division and was wondering about your contribution "The vessels ...coast, were known to have shot down Vietnamese aircraft defending themselves." Do you have anything to back that up? I cannot find any record of any AFS shooting down anything except a towed target we were not supposed to hit. Please contact me at user:tubaman123 —Preceding undated comment added 05:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- I served on-board the USS Niagara Falls (AFS-3) during the Gulf War, manned 3inch guns turrets periodically. Aside being told by gunner mates about it. The ship's history included that the ship during the Vietnam war had shot down an aircraft during the conflict. It was listed in the old DANFS Online listing for the ship, which covered Vietnam war. However, that website listing for the ship is now missing. Newer site, has on fragment what history has. That section will needs to be removed from the Mars Class history. Sorry. -- Colt9033 (talk) 01:45, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for getting back to me on this - interestingly, the only reference to USS Niagara Falls and shooting down aircraft I can find is that one of the captains of the ship in 1972 was Eugene McDaniel who was shot down over North Viet Nam and captured around 1970.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Aircraft in fiction may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for June 10[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fictional military aircraft, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Canard (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.

October 2014[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Lord Marksman and Vanadis, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. —Farix (t | c) 21:24, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
