Ozzy Osborne songs

Hi, and glad to see that you wish to contribute!

I am a bit concerned that several of your recent song articles are very short, only a sentence long, and therefore not very useful to the reader (the same information can be had from reading the articles on the album). You might want to look at some of the common pitfalls at Wikipedia:Your first article. In many cases, you can place redirects at the songs so that they point back to the album where you can add a short description. If the song really deserves a seperate article on the other hand, it is perhaps best to write a paragraph about the song, and not just a sentence saying it is a song. Happy editing!Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:32, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I concur with this. Wikipedia doesn't need an article about every song on every album. Song articles are usually created for charting songs or important songs on albums. --Walter Görlitz 14:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I've listed the songs (non-noteworthy/single) for speedy delete after doing a test delete for the track "Thank God for the Bomb."—Wasabe3543 01:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Why are you deleting singles? Non-noteworthy I can see, but why singles? Singles have chart information that can be included, and I'm sure there is more information that can be added. The whole point of a stub is so people will expand it. Borgarde 06:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I meant non-singles - I should've been clearer.—Wasabe3543 17:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Song Guidelines

Hi, generally individual songs only get their own individual pages if they've been released as singles in their own right, or are otherwise noteworthy. A standard album track doesn't warrant it's own article normally. 84.68.109.234 11:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Australian Baseball

hello, i noticed you recently created the Baseball SA article, would you be interested in contributing to other Australian Baseball articles? cheers --Dan027 10:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Cheers mate, good to have you on board. feel free to add any information big or small to the articles, we have alot of work ahead --Dan027 11:59, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

i was thinking about creating an info box for the inidivdual state baseball association articles, somthing similar to the infobox i have been using on the ABL team articles, any suggestions or ideas for wat to include in it? --Dan027 14:35, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure on all the defunct clubs though, I know there are some clubs going around right now that are mergers of 2 other clubs, if you add one with the current clubs maybe? and if information expands add defunct? I'm not sure if this is what you meant. --Borgarde 10:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

no quite what i ment. the state baseball association articles(Baseball SA) probly need an infobox, with things like year formed, general competiton information and claxton shield record, any suggestions of what you would put in it? --Dan027 13:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I understand what you mean now, but I can't help you with what to put in it right now. I took a browse over some Minor League pages and none of them have info boxes, but I like the idea of it being there. Apart from the basics and what you've mentioned, there isn't really a great deal more to put in. --Borgarde 13:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Australian-baseball-stub

Hi - I see you have created a new stub type, Australian-baseball-stub. As it clearly explains at WP:STUB, and at the top of most stub categories, all new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at WP:WSS/P, so that they can be checked for viability, and to make sure they don't go against either the stub category hierarchy or stub naming conventions. In the case of your new stub type, it was not proposed, and currently it doesn't look likely it will reach the required 60 stubs to be regarded as viable. The stub type has been listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries - please make any comments as to the reasons for and possible population of this new stub type. Be warned that it may be nominated for deletion via WP:SFD. Please, in future, if you wish to create a new stub type, propose it first! Grutness...wha? 06:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

you will find it listed here. ive commented on it, so feel free to add anything i have missed. --Dan027 07:20, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
