Hello! How are you? I need your help, can you please remove the "speedy deletion tag" from the Polyneon (artist) article? Thank you! Jamesallen2 ( talk) 09:40, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:The Bloggess.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 20:07, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
All the pages of mine that you have marked to delete are not pages that should be deleted. I worked hard on a bunch of them for a friend of mine who's been making music albums since 1997.

Referring to Don Sahli page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Sahli
I understand some of your editing and realize the long version bio came off advertising and promotional, but did want to inquire and explain some of my edits. First, under WORK you had edited the below sentence to include the word "the" before Sahli Studio. I removed that as it is not correct. SENTENCE: Sahli’s work is currently represented in galleries around the country, including Sahli Studio of Evergreen, Colorado.
Second, the beginning of this sentence: When painting plein air. You had editing it to "in plain air". Plein air is a common term among painters, French for "in the open air". So I editing it to "en plein air" See link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_plein_air
Last, I just wanted to figure out why you deleted so many reference links? I did review the one you pulled and see one was dead due to a newspaper closing its doors and apparently its website. This one, http://www.vaildaily.com/article/20110223/SPECIALA1701/110229968, from notable newspaper shows a Don Sahli image and includes him in article. (If too small a reference, understand that one.) But this one: http://www.vaildaily.com/article/20100701/AE/100709994, is very much about Don Sahli included in and associated to a major movie release. This one should surely be included as it shows his association and how the art/movie industry is aware of and considers him. Now if the other few were to associated or direct links to Don Sahli's personal website(s), I under those edits. These three: http://www.saksgalleries.com/artists/sahli/bio.html http://www.westernartandarchitecture.com/artist/334/sahli-studio-sahli-school-of-art-llc-sahli-publishing-llc.html http://www.cvent.com/events/weekend-with-the-masters-plein-air/custom-21-e768678adab64ab591e4021506cb3e13.aspx#Sahli were added to show credibility by being listed on reputable websites.
But the two from Vail Daily surely should be included as creditable online resources to show his notability and establish him as known artist and teacher. Also, I reviewed all of the links and found just one that was dead end, the one to Vail Mountaineer, I did find that they have closed their doors and apparently deleted their website & content.
In closing, I appreciate your assistance and apparent expertise. I have numerous sources of hard copy articles on Don Sahli for past 20 years, have been a follower of his since then. But I can not find them online to reference, can I scan them to include somehow or still reference them with article name, publisher, date?
Thanks Again

Elektrik Shoos,
Hoping I can implore you for assistance in a matter regarding this article: Don Sahli. There has been a request for quick deletion due to question about copyright. I had previously loaded this article and battled this issue. I contact Wiki via email and conversed regarding the issue, they told me to upload as donated content and add the Creative Commons License to the content on another website, which I did. There is a sentence or too that is the same/similar on anther website (they recieved the bio from me, the author who holds the copyright license). How to avoid this issue again and avoid deletion!? The other website that has the copyright content in question will not update their website (they haven't for many years) or add the CC to the page of info.
Should I add the Creative Commons license to the wiki article? Will this help? Thanks for any advice! :)— Preceding unsigned comment added by KatForeman ( talk • contribs) 17:51, August 22, 2011

Hi Elektrik Shoos! I am Dayglored, contributor since 2005. I created the page on " Bill Owen (writer and announcer)" very recently, mainly using information that Bill gave to me personally. (I am a close friend of Bill and his family.)
Thank you for your reminder that biographical pages on living persons must be sourced. Bill and I are researching the sources for the information presented on the page, and I will be adding references and source information in the coming week. If you have further advice or suggestions, I welcome them, and thank you in advance.
Best regards, Dayglored ( Dayglored ( talk) 05:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC))
Thank you for your advice. I understand your comments and cautions regarding neutrality and avoiding promotion.
Many of the facts in the new bio article will have references from elsewhere on the web (e.g. some of the radio stations that Bill worked for long ago have websites with relevant history, and his books are still in publication so I can refer to the publisher's site). But some things that support the bio are from decades-old newspaper clippings. We are contacting the newspapers to get access to any available online archives, but some of these are quite old and aren't on the web. Do you have advice for this situation, where the only source is hard-copy?
Thanks in advance, Dayglored ( Dayglored ( talk) 06:33, 8 September 2011 (UTC))
Aha! Should I use the Template:Cite news template for old hard-copy newspaper articles? ( Dayglored ( talk) 07:21, 8 September 2011 (UTC))
Hi again, Elektrik Shoos! I have started adding references for the bio page, starting with a few easy ones (his work with WABC Radio, and his more recent books). I will continue adding, of course, and plan to have many more in a few days. If you have a chance, please let me know if/when it becomes sufficient to modify the deletion warning.

The rum ham has only been in one episode so far, yes. I hold out hope it will return. Should I made a "single episode appearence characters" subheading for the ham? Also I don't think it being a prob precludes it from being considered a character. I can think of a few examples but most notably wilson. From the cast away wikipedia page:
"In the film, Wilson the volleyball serves as Chuck Noland's personified friend and only companion during the four years that Noland spends alone on a deserted island.[4][5][6] The character was created by screenwriter William Broyles Jr. "

There have been repeated attempts by Njkaters on the Boom! Studios article page to remove Andrew Cosby as a co-founder of the company, despite dozens of online articles, websites, press releases, etc., that clearly establish Mr. Cosby's long running status as the company co-founder. These edits, which I believe to be malicious, are apparently based on a few recent posts by Mr. Richie, the company's other co-founder, proclaiming himself as sole founder, which is patently untrue, as can be proven by a simple google search of "Andrew Cosby co-counder." Or one could look at the Boom comics themselves printed prior to Mr. Cosby leaving the company in 2010, which all list him as co-founder. Even his own wikipedia page says as much, which, if you'll check the page's history, you will see was actually establish by Mr. Richie himself. It's fairly obvious Njkaters has some sort of agenda with his edits, and it has turned into an edit war, which I do not wish to continue. Your help and/or advice in this matter would be greatly appreciate. I have requested page protection. Thanks. Truthsayer2012 ( talk) 09:20, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your comments on my desert crocodile edits. I realize that there are no "sources" for some of the changes that I made, however, the changes are justified for a couple of reasons. First, in science English common names for most taxa (basically all except birds) do not actually have a taxonomic reference or standard publication to cite against. You will notice that the original entry using the names desert and North African crocodile, etc... are not actually cited either because the citations for English names do not exist. Second, this is a species that has really just been diagnosed, therefore there is really very little published basis for most of the information on the page anyway. Finally, I am the actual scientist whose work this entire page is based off of, therefore if there ever was an unpublished work source to go from it would be me. In light of these arguments, I would appreciate it if you would let me know how I can go forth with the changes that I have proposed?
Cheers!

Thank you for your comments on my desert crocodile edits. I realize that there are no "sources" for some of the changes that I made, however, the changes are justified for a couple of reasons. First, in science English common names for most taxa (basically all except birds) do not actually have a taxonomic reference or standard publication to cite against. You will notice that the original entry using the names desert and North African crocodile, etc... are not actually cited either because the citations for English names do not exist. Second, this is a species that has really just been diagnosed, therefore there is really very little published basis for most of the information on the page anyway. Finally, I am the actual scientist whose work this entire page is based off of, therefore if there ever was an unpublished work source to go from it would be me. In light of these arguments, I would appreciate it if you would let me know how I can go forth with the changes that I have proposed?
Cheers!
