What is your problem?

I am not vandalising, I am bringing a serious issue to your attention. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sparkling Goth (talk • contribs) .

you made a mistake

you mistakenly moved an entry i wrote on Robert Henke, a popular electronic musician, to my user page, thinking i was writing about myself, which i wasnt. I am not robert henke, and i was just filling out a stub on him that I came across. can you please reverse the change you made and restore the entry?

thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyorei (talk • contribs)

Hi. Let me explain what happened here. The article Robert Henke was tagged as a candidate for speedy deletion, by another user. When I reviewed the article I concluded that it did meet the criteria for deletion - normally the article would then simply be deleted. However, because I felt that there was a chance that this article was about you - I decided to save the contents by posting it to your user page and notified you that I had done so. The message on your talk page was generated with a template message, which is common practice in such scenarios due to time constraints, but such messages may not always convey all the required information. In this case the template indicated that I thought the article was definitely about you, whereas I meant that I thought it was likely enough to go to the trouble of moving it to your user page.

The article was initially tagged for speedy deletion under the criteria 7 of the Articles Deletion Criteria. If you feel that, in its original format, it should not have been deleted - then you can raise the matter on Wikipedia:Deletion review. However, if you feel that it did meet the criteria for deletion, but that you can rewrite so that the deletion criteria are no longer relevant - then please feel free to do so and repost it.

and another mistake

why don't you ask people before moving articles? I created a stub for Sydney Kustu because she is a professor at my university that has accomplished a lot (I'm in the process of collecting that information), but you thought I was writing about myself and moved it to my user info. Please move it back and be a little more communicative in the future. --MM 00:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, let's have this out. I've put it on AfD so that we may get rid of these tags once and for all. - Richardcavell 23:11, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't usually check the unblock requests - it was mainly because User:PageantUpdater is on my watchlist and she uses the university IP.Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article Deletion

TigerShark, could you please clarify what is notable vs. what is "non-notable"? You deleted a link to an article I had written regarding a secret society at Boston College, yet you leave untouched several comparable articles with little or no citations or available data. If notable means something that should be a house-hold name, then only 2-3 of the rather lengthy list should be there. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CuratorUniversalis (talk • contribs) .

Gnar Chicken & Flapjacks

Gnar Chicken and Flapjacks is Miami Beach's most famous band and definately deserves its own article. I trust that many people in my area will contribute to this article and give Wikipedia users a bit mroe of Miami Beach culture.
