Thanks for the information about the {{ hangon}} tag gb. Mayalld please accept my apologies for not understanding what the tag was and therefore not realising it was legit.

A tag has been placed on Thomas Lyford requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

An editor has nominated Dick's Cabaret, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. 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 " 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 by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dick's Cabaret and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

I have removed the {{ prod}} tag from Talk:1974 in India/Comments, which you proposed for deletion, because the page you proposed for deletion was not an article, user page, or user talk page. If you still think the page should be deleted, please don't add the {{ prod}} template back to it, as proposed deletion is only for articles, user pages, and user talk pages. Instead, consider using Wikipedia:Miscellany for Deletion for this page. In some cases, a speedy deletion criterion may apply. Thanks! Redfarmer ( talk) 14:27, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Jasynnash2! Thank you for warning the vandals. You might want to take a look on this page - there are already some templates made specifically for warning vandals. If you use those instead of the custom warnings, you will save some time and make the warnings readable for bots, which can report vandals to the AIV.

Metagenomics software is an obscure field. This particular package has got some press and interest, it is easy to use, free (I think), and works fairly well for what it is designed (environmental shotgun sequence comparisons with NCBI genomes). I removed the copyvio and rewrote the article and feel it should stand. However, if you or someone decides to delete it, please paste the text on my talk page.

No, no. I was vandalised like 7 times in 5 mins. Anyway, I consider a few things before I mark a report with-
User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned. Re-report if the user resumes vandalising after being
warned sufficiently.
Generally, I think rather clearly on these, and if I'm in doubt that they warrant a block, or if they have been warned incorrectly, then I'll issue the above notice. However, 4 warnings in a row, in the space of a short period of time, will not be touched by me, I can't block (yet). I probably declined the block because it would have been a shared IP, and the gap between the warnings could mean that the edits were from different users.

The {{ hangon}} tag is intended for the use of the article's creator, who is not allowed to simply remove the speedy deletion tags. Articles with reasonable assertions of notability are not candidates for speedy deletion, even if those claims are thereafter found to be unprovable, or hoaxes. The AfD process is intended to both incite deeper evaluation of the subject matter and to lay out the necessary points to be used to keep or delete the article.

Welcome to Wikipedia! At Wikipedia, we're all about building consensus, and using critical thinking and rational judgment to decide what the best course of action is in any situation. Although we do have some “policies", with the exception of a few that are necessary for legal reasons ( WP:Copyvio, WP:BLP, etc.), you should be aware that the others are not binding. Generally, they are simply guidelines and/or descriptions of what has happened in the past. I would like to encourage you, in your dealings with others on Wikipedia, to resist the temptation to advocate a certain course of action because "the rules say so", and instead would urge you make arguments based on what serves the best interests of the encyclopedia in the given situation. Anyway, I hope you enjoy yourself here, and I look forward to seeing what you have to contribute to our project. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my user talk page.
Thank you for the feedback on the CoSort article page. You mention the use of other "good" business articles could be used as templates... and I was wondering if you might be able to guide me to 1 or 2 that I can learn from? I admit that I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and there is so much to learn and so many different things to be aware of... that my head spins. Any help you could offer would be very appreciated.

Hi Thanks for the comments on the article I wrote. Just out of interest, how did you come across it (it was only arounf for 12 hours). BR -- Actarus000 ( talk) 18:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I've responded on my talk page...essentially, the situation is a bit of a delicate one and you're probably just not aware of it. If you need more information I'll be happy to help. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 14:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia! At Wikipedia, we're all about building consensus, and using critical thinking and rational judgment to decide what the best course of action is in any situation. Although we do have some “policies", with the exception of a few that are necessary for legal reasons ( WP:Copyvio, WP:BLP, etc.), you should be aware that the others are not binding. Generally, they are simply guidelines and/or descriptions of what has happened in the past. I would like to encourage you, in your dealings with others on Wikipedia, to resist the temptation to advocate a certain course of action because "the rules say so", and instead would urge you make arguments based on what serves the best interests of the encyclopedia in the given situation. Anyway, I hope you enjoy yourself here, and I look forward to seeing what you have to contribute to our project. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me at my user talk page.
Thank you for the feedback on the CoSort article page. You mention the use of other "good" business articles could be used as templates... and I was wondering if you might be able to guide me to 1 or 2 that I can learn from? I admit that I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and there is so much to learn and so many different things to be aware of... that my head spins. Any help you could offer would be very appreciated. Thank you! Dkkrms ( talk) 20:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
