Dr. David Allen White[edit]

A tag has been placed on Dr. David Allen White, 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. If you can indicate why Dr. David Allen White is really notable, you can contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on Talk:Dr. David Allen White, explaining how Dr. David Allen White is notable. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 14:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In response to Soloflex "SPAM" Tag[edit]

The SPAM tag reads "This article or section may contain external links added only to promote a website, product, or service – otherwise known as spam." If you look at the external link section of the Soloflex Article, you will find an external link to the company web site. This is the SPAM. The link takes you directly to the Soloflex web site where the item may be purchased. At the top of the Soloflex web page is the word "ORDER". This is SPAM per Wikipedia. 69.69.250.37

Soloflex[edit]

Thank you for your recent additions to this article. However they have been reverted due to: it removed tags asking for citations without you adding references for that material, and the new material did not contain any references. Please see WP:CITE for details on what are reliable sources and how to cite them in the article. Thank you. Aboutmovies 07:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to reference HPD records, you can. But you only mentioned them, you did not cite them (see neighbor Lattice Semiconductor and the little blue footnotes for what a citation normally looks like). Remember that Wikipedia is an encylopedia, and information needs to be verifible. So for HPD records you would need to provide a date, case number etc. so someone else could go look them up to verify the information (a web page would be even better). Something like this though may have made the paper, and that would make it even easier to verify.

As to your other questions, I think it would be best for you to read What Wikipedia Is Not, and Wikipedia:Attribution to answer about using personal expierences. Not following these guidelines can lead to legal issues for Wikipedia for libel. Please note I'm not saying you are making stuff up and putting it on Wikipedia, but without the policies and guidelines anyone could do just that. These policies are all meant to protect Wikipedia and help produce a quality encyclopedia that is up to par with any print encyclopedia.

Lastly, part of why your edits were reverted is because you removed the {{fact}} tag from several sentences. In order to remove those, you need to provide a source that verifies what the sentence states. Failure to add a reference and removing the tag is considered vandalism, and I don't want you to get blocked for an innocent mistake (that's why I left a note for you). These are all common errors of new editors, I know I made plenty of them when I started.

Then one last thing. I have been working on removing the unsourced info from the article, that is why there are the CITATION NEEDED tags. But we normally don't just delete everything without giving the editors a chance to clean-up the article and add the needed references, make changes to bring it up to par. We then also have to deal with issues of conflict of interest to weed out people who should not be editing the article. It's a long process, but it ultimately yields good articles even if they are very short articles. Please let me know if I answered your questions/and or explained everything. Happy editing.

objections?[edit]

I see on the Paul Newman article that you have changed "*** Cassidy" to "*** Cassidy" as well as changing the name "***" to "***." Those are names; not expletives. Why are you changing them?--Dstern1 (talk) 16:52, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what this is about...

September 2008[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Paul Newman has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. – iride scent 17:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unconstructive? Please. The article is inaccurate. Paul Newman raced for Bob Sharp and Datsun Motor Sports... GIYF... take a look at Bob Sharp history and see... Leaving that Newman article as just "Nissan" is inaccurate. I am putting it back to my edit.

The recent edit you made to User talk:Iridescent constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. – iride scent 17:20, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A talk page is for talking... even your talk page... you edit mine and it is ok... I edit yours and it is vandalism... whatever.

Do you see me editing other peoples' posts to your talkpage as you did to mine? You do not. Stop this. Now. – iridescent 17:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Wikipedia is not censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did to Paul Newman, will be regarded as vandalism. If you continue in this manner, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you seriously think replacing "*** Barbour" with "**** Barbour" is an improvement, this is not the site for you. – iride scent 17:31, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pay Attention. Whatever browser you are using to edit Wikipedia, is censoring the terms D-I-C-K (as in *** Barbour) and B-U-T-C-H (as in *** Cassidy). Your edit to Iridescent's talk page also went through and censored words on that user's talk page. Something is wrong on your end. This is why your edits are being reverted.

Your problem with Datsun/Nissan has been corrected, stopped reverting. The359 (talk) 17:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is what your edits are doing. The359 (talk) 17:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, my bad. The greasemonkey "Profanity Filter" script is installed on this PC.
