You were an important part of improving Glore Psychiatric Museum, and you did it while enduring a horse whipping. More importantly, you did it with poise and style. In spite of the misguided efforts of some, the article is better than my simple start. I'm looking forward to working with you again soon. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 01:40, 6 July 2014 (UTC) |
Actually, Dennis, your page got more that TWO thousand views. [1] Its time on the front page must have been split between two days as Wikipedia counts them. No question but you picked an interesting topic to write about! -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:44, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Hey Melanie, the article I was working about Preston Taylor is now almost complete. Please take a look here. You will see that there are some red links. Most of the redlinks are notable and I'm planning to start an article about his wife, Georgia Gordon Taylor.
Now I was thinking to take this article for DYK. Currently I'm having three articles on my userspace waiting for you to nominate. Since you already know that DYK is in trouble, and it is not possible to take Preston Taylor article for GA standard. So, what should I do?? Jim Carter 06:01, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
I have closed the RM, but the lead needs to be rewritten. Cheers, -- kelapstick( bainuu) 20:36, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello Melanie, I'm going to take a long wikibreak, for more than 2 years. That means I'm not going to edit for sometime. So, I request you to help improve my draft articles and move it to mainspace. You can take Taylor for DYK if you wish. Many thanks for all you did. God bless, good bye. Your friend, Jim Carter 19:05, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi MelanieN. While I have no objection to this edit at Non-apology apology, I do think that you may have been a little quick to make the change. You noted the content was dubious on 14 July and then removed it on 17 July. Bold editing is absolutely allowed and even encouraged. Still, my own practice in such cases is to wait at least a week to see if anyone responds to talk page comments in which I propose removing content. That's not based on policy or consensus; it's just my own practice, developed in response to occasional objections from other editors. You can take that advice for whatever you think it's worth. Happy editing, Cnilep ( talk) 23:23, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Without knowing recent history with the move discussion, I asked Drmies about adding the acute accent to Secretary Castro's name. It is a fact that "Julián" is correct. Secretary Castro spells his name with the diacritic; and in my view, the incorrect spelling of his name places Wikipedia in a poor light. Secretary Castro also pronounces his name as one would with the diacritic.
It is apparent that editors have made note of the fact that many periodicals have spelled his name "Julian", and they have used that as justification for maintaining status quo. Many wrongs do not make that right. The HUD website is spelling his name with the diacritic, and the HUD Office of Public Affairs Press Secretary has emailed me to confirm that his name is spelled with the diacritic.
Since you had been involved in the discussion, and presented good thought in support of the move, I would like to ask you for a brief history, and any possible thoughts that you may have concerning accomplishing the addition of the diacritic at this point. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. Doc2234 ( talk) 23:47, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Melanie. I think you probably agree that University Business School – Chandigarh, that you removed my PROD on, is a very bad article, even though it was a lot worse before I hacked away at it a couple of days ago. It has had a multiple issues template, a COI template and a cleanup template on it since 2011, all of them completely ignored until I happened along. PROD seems to be the only thing that gets any kind of improvement going. (Compare these comments, on my page, about another Indian article I prodded.) May I ask if you're planning to merge the article yourself? Because if not, I don't know that you've helped it much by adding yet another template for people to ignore.

Hi - So, I'm confused... why did you remove the entry for Belching Beaver? It had a reference, and it's a reference to a source that's been used to support several other entries. Is there some reason you think that particular article is not be relied on? I assure you, the brewery does exist. In fact, it's got at least two locations, you can find their beers in pretty much any decent beer bar in town, and it's gotten a fair bit of coverage in the area's beer press. Seems pretty notable to me. Could you elaborate on your objection to including it on the list?

The most popular script is Mr.Z-man's close AFD. To install that script. Go here. Paste the following code:
importScript('User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js');
And save the page. After saving, if you use Internet Explorer, press Ctrl and Refresh. If you use Firefox press Ctrl+Shift+R. For Google chrome and Safari just click reload. Congrats! the script is installed, now test it by going at any Afd discussion page. Click on the tab "More" at the top of the page and you will see two new options, "relist" and "close Afd".
I have also created a script that does the same work but the code it use are far more updated than of Mr.Z-man's script and most of the bugs are fixed.
To install my script, just do the same thing as mentioned above but instead of that code use:
importScript('User:Jim Cartar/AfD closer.js');

→Hello MelanieN,
Thanks for your advice. What I actually wanted to do was to create a heading page to which my students can link their individual articles. The main article would then be Gender and Sustainability and the students' articles would all fit within that broad topic. Do you know any way to make such a network and put in place before actually publishing it? Is it possible to link different articles to each other when they are still in different authors sandboxes? What I want to create is some sort of structure that the students can use during the course work. Or is this impossible and instead we all have to write our different articles, publish them and after that link them to each other? I would be grateful for any advices you can give me.

Dear Ms. Melanie, Thank you for your message. It baffles me to see that an article with so many contradictions within the contents of its own "approved" article can be allowed to remain as 'Authentic' & one which is closer to the simple mathematics of the date lines suggested by the discography is thrown out by you! For starters, the article "Approved" by you states that Mr. Sami started his career in 2006 - present & you go down the same article on to the discography & you see that his first album was released in 1990!!! You call this 'Authentic' and equate this to an "Encyclopaedia" standard?? The initial page was started up using information by a 'fan' who had started an unauthorised website under the URL www.adnansamikhan.com where they wrote whatever superficial knowledge they had.. Initially that info was picked up & incorporated into this page.. It is extremely disturbing that you are allowing basic facts to be disallowed & choosing to go for 'here-say' information. When a journalist comes to Mr. Sami & says, "Sir, I have researched much about you.. I went on to wikipedia.." he responds with "Oh Lord, if THAT is your research then you know NOTHING about me!!!" Sad isn't it.. A far cry from your equating it to an "Encyclopaedia' status. Indeed, in most cases, the pages of other people on wikipedia are started up by responsible individuals who plant seeds onto the page with authenticity & command on the subject. In Mr. Sami's case, it was started off by people who knew little of the facts & then they became facts.. They say that if you repeat a lie long enough, you start believing it to be the truth!! Nothing seems to be more true in this context! Agreed, that there may be some bloated adjectives used to describe an achievement, but every single word regarding his background & family heritage & legacy is as authentic as it can ever get. These points are those which you will never find in 'gossip' magazines etc since they are dry truths. The tragedy is that many things that have been picked up from gossip magazines as so called 'truths' are being projected here as authentic!! Please do not allow this to happen.. The article I have proposed is absolutely genuine with facts. Please remove any sensation you may feel is there, but kindly understand that is the truth and nothing but the truth of Mr. Sami's biography thus far. Its a shame that he is being denied his rightful heritage & biographical facts by wikipedia as it should be stated! The same is happening with his late Father Mr. Arshad Sami Khan. With his father, we have stated his forefather's linage from Afghanistan etc... You have deleted that! You are now going to stand as being the authority to deny him his linage? You want an article to prove it? Which newspaper can you dig out from 1925 which will talk about his linage for you to accept this as being the truth? "Let them have cake!".... This was stated by the Queen of France; Do you have any written proof that she in fact said that apart from it taken from a quote of a book written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions? NO! So, just because he wrote it in a book of his own, you think it is authentic & thus it is 'Wikipedia' worthy... What if she did not say this? What if she suddenly came out of her grave & removed from Wikipedia saying "I am Marie Antoinette & I never said this" & she deletes it from Wikipedia... Are you also going to say to her "NO! YOU ARE WRONG... You have no proof that you did not say this... we have a book written by a 3rd party and since he wrote that first and it was not challenged for centuries, to hell with you and your authenticity!!!???" It just doesn't make sense! There has got to be a better way... You cannot play with peoples lives like this and allow a free for all to put things in like this & deny the truth by the person concerned himself... That means that wikipedia stands for "Your Biography as seen by other people & their opinions regardless of the truth!!"... And you are going to hold 'News Paper' articles as your authority to authenticate the genuinity of a piece of information.. Surely you cannot be so naive into thinking that newspaper articles are manipulated at times, bought at times & also written with certain bias as well'! Please do some thing. This is just too tragic and unfair.. Yours Truly Peter Downings
Hey Melanie, I found an article related to San Diego. It is San Diego University for Integrative Studies.

That said, I see that my page is being flagged as Spam or as advertising or promotional and not notable or encyclopedic. I have read all the guidelines and reviewed the short summary for Spot 6 Management but cannot see which sentences or statements are causing the issue and no one is providing any specific details, just general statements that it violates conduct.

My read of the edit history at this article indicates that ALL of the editors involved in the thread on "allegations of inappropriate sexuality" edited the article without prior notification or approval in Talk.

Hi, Melanie. I have no idea how to correctly respond on the San Diego High School issue you asked about, so I'll try here. I was a deputy/chief deputy city attorney in San Diego from 1969 to 1997. In 1972, I wrote a legal opinion that San Diego High School was clearly encroaching, in total, on dedicated Balboa Park land. The encroachment began in the 1880's when the park land had been deeded in fee to the City, but before the park was officially dedicated. A 1903 California Supreme Court case specifically held that a public school was an illegal use of park land. Because of the equities involved, the City was amenable to a deal where the school could be rebuilt with already approved bond funds, but only under a 50 year free lease. At the expiration of the lease, the school agreed that it would relocate out of the park. What else do you need to know? I don't know, or care, what a "tilde" is. <redacted> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balboaparkfan ( talk • contribs) 01:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Sorry that you'll be leaving for a couple of weeks. I've found your comments invaluable, even though I don't agree with all of them. You are certainly a moderating influence in a very frustrating process. At CFredkin's urging, I did go to a Noticeboard to report the problem. I hope I did that right. I'm a novice at this, though I've been editing Wikipedia for six years. The #*)#* interactive form repeatedly gave me a "wrong token" message after I'd written a couple thousand words. I finally gave up and completely redid it, and it worked, causing me to discover my original error. I had noted the disputed article as "Carl DeMaio" instead of "Carl_DeMaio." My laptop has had increasing nasty problems as well, causing me to lose work, having to redo edits, losing bookmarks for articles (not Wikipedia) on which I've been working. Very frustrating.

Thank you for your comments, your research is great. All I can say is I wrote the City Attorney's legal opinion in 1973, which resulted in the lease in 1974. With your research ability. I bet you can find the 1903 Cal Sup Ct case on schools in parks in quick order. With your present research re "squatters" "lease" etc, I think it's clear enough that they are in the park, and that my comments were accurate. I don't intend to suggest any more corrections to Wikipedia. I'm just in the process of making interested parties aware of the lease expiring in 2024, and the lack of any action at all by the school district to plan for relocation or perform its obligation to relocate out of the park, which was its agreed consideration for the free, 50 yr lease.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Alison Lundergan Grimes. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

I wouldn't worry about the RFA. If someone wants to hold a knife to the throat of an innocent candidate and use that as a threat or political statement about someone (me), that speaks to their character and not mine. It is a bully move, almost a type of extortion or act of cowardice, but in the end it is meaningless. The root of the issue would appear to lie way before the RFA, and as hard as might try, I simply don't give a damn about their opinion. But I appreciate your efforts. Czar is a fine candidate. I didn't even expect to nom, even though he came and asked me first. He will do just fine, and would have without my help. Dennis - 2¢ 23:20, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Dear MelanieN,
I don't understand why you removed all content from Robertson-Webb protocol. The content you removed was not included in Envy-free - it started to describe the protocol itself, just like many other Wikipedia pages that are devoted for describing algorithms, see all the pages in Category:Graph algorithms. I was just going to extend the Robertson-Webb protocol page to contain a more detailed description of the protocol.

Hi Melanie! I just completed this draft. I have done a huge work and it took a good amount of my time to complete. But before I move it to mainspace and ask you to nominate it for DYK, I want some help from you. I found some sources in the draft is dead. I no longer have access to strong internet connection, the internet connection I'm using is shared by many other students making the connection weak and that is causing a huge trouble for me to fix those dead links. So, I was wondering if you can help me fix those dead links. You can use this tool to check which links are dead and then use the Wayback machine to fix those dead links. Thank you very much!

I've had a look at those articles now, and I won't look too deeply at what the students wrote (I wonder how the professor assesses material placed in wikipedia). I think what you did with the Nepalese buckwheat article is appropriate; it looks as if at least two species had been conflated, and some other parts would have been more appropriate at cover crop. I've added a little at various buckwheat articles in the hope of preventing such confusion in future. (Using common names for article titles causes all sorts of messes, and I'm sure it has made this poor student's life more difficult. WP:FLORA tries to prevent some of that sort of thing by using scientific names for plants as much as possible.) Sminthopsis84 ( talk) 23:29, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi MelanieN. While I have no objection to this edit at Non-apology apology, I do think that you may have been a little quick to make the change. You noted the content was dubious on 14 July and then removed it on 17 July. Bold editing is absolutely allowed and even encouraged. Still, my own practice in such cases is to wait at least a week to see if anyone responds to talk page comments in which I propose removing content. That's not based on policy or consensus; it's just my own practice, developed in response to occasional objections from other editors. You can take that advice for whatever you think it's worth.

Hi, Without knowing recent history with the move discussion, I asked Drmies about adding the acute accent to Secretary Castro's name. It is a fact that "Julián" is correct. Secretary Castro spells his name with the diacritic; and in my view, the incorrect spelling of his name places Wikipedia in a poor light. Secretary Castro also pronounces his name as one would with the diacritic.
It is apparent that editors have made note of the fact that many periodicals have spelled his name "Julian", and they have used that as justification for maintaining status quo. Many wrongs do not make that right. The HUD website is spelling his name with the diacritic, and the HUD Office of Public Affairs Press Secretary has emailed me to confirm that his name is spelled with the diacritic.
Since you had been involved in the discussion, and presented good thought in support of the move, I would like to ask you for a brief history, and any possible thoughts that you may have concerning accomplishing the addition of the diacritic at this point.

Hi, Melanie. I think you probably agree that University Business School – Chandigarh, that you removed my PROD on, is a very bad article, even though it was a lot worse before I hacked away at it a couple of days ago. It has had a multiple issues template, a COI template and a cleanup template on it since 2011, all of them completely ignored until I happened along. PROD seems to be the only thing that gets any kind of improvement going. (Compare these comments, on my page, about another Indian article I prodded.) May I ask if you're planning to merge the article yourself? Because if not, I don't know that you've helped it much by adding yet another template for people to ignore.

In fact, it's got at least two locations, you can find their beers in pretty much any decent beer bar in town, and it's gotten a fair bit of coverage in the area's beer press.

And save the page. After saving, if you use Internet Explorer, press Ctrl and Refresh. If you use Firefox press Ctrl+Shift+R. For Google chrome and Safari just click reload. Congrats! the script is installed, now test it by going at any Afd discussion page. Click on the tab "More" at the top of the page and you will see two new options, "relist" and "close Afd".
I have also created a script that does the same work but the code it use are far more updated than of Mr.Z-man's script and most of the bugs are fixed.
To install my script, just do the same thing as mentioned above but instead of that code use:

Thank you for providing the cite. I agree that such information is not difficult to find for us wikipedians. The value in this case is related to the fact that (if Escondido is like most other California cities) the mayor changes every year or so.

→Hello MelanieN,
Thanks for your advice. What I actually wanted to do was to create a heading page to which my students can link their individual articles. The main article would then be Gender and Sustainability and the students' articles would all fit within that broad topic. Do you know any way to make such a network and put in place before actually publishing it? Is it possible to link different articles to each other when they are still in different authors sandboxes? What I want to create is some sort of structure that the students can use during the course work. Or is this impossible and instead we all have to write our different articles, publish them and after that link them to each other? I would be grateful for any advices you can give me.

That is quite true. Wikipedia is not censored. We have articles about all kinds of things, as long as the subject is noteworthy. They are sober scholarly articles, but sometimes the illustrations can be pretty graphic. Children and school classes should not use the internet without supervision.

Dear Ms. Melanie, Thank you for your message. It baffles me to see that an article with so many contradictions within the contents of its own "approved" article can be allowed to remain as 'Authentic' & one which is closer to the simple mathematics of the date lines suggested by the discography is thrown out by you! For starters, the article "Approved" by you states that Mr. Sami started his career in 2006 - present & you go down the same article on to the discography & you see that his first album was released in 1990!!! You call this 'Authentic' and equate this to an "Encyclopaedia" standard?? The initial page was started up using information by a 'fan' who had started an unauthorised website under the URL www.adnansamikhan.com where they wrote whatever superficial knowledge they had.. Initially that info was picked up & incorporated into this page.. It is extremely disturbing that you are allowing basic facts to be disallowed & choosing to go for 'here-say' information. When a journalist comes to Mr. Sami & says, "Sir, I have researched much about you.. I went on to wikipedia.." he responds with "Oh Lord, if THAT is your research then you know NOTHING about me!!!" Sad isn't it.. A far cry from your equating it to an "Encyclopaedia' status. Indeed, in most cases, the pages of other people on wikipedia are started up by responsible individuals who plant seeds onto the page with authenticity & command on the subject. In Mr. Sami's case, it was started off by people who knew little of the facts & then they became facts.. They say that if you repeat a lie long enough, you start believing it to be the truth!! Nothing seems to be more true in this context! Agreed, that there may be some bloated adjectives used to describe an achievement, but every single word regarding his background & family heritage & legacy is as authentic as it can ever get. These points are those which you will never find in 'gossip' magazines etc since they are dry truths. The tragedy is that many things that have been picked up from gossip magazines as so called 'truths' are being projected here as authentic!! Please do not allow this to happen.. The article I have proposed is absolutely genuine with facts. Please remove any sensation you may feel is there, but kindly understand that is the truth and nothing but the truth of Mr. Sami's biography thus far. Its a shame that he is being denied his rightful heritage & biographical facts by wikipedia as it should be stated! The same is happening with his late Father Mr. Arshad Sami Khan. With his father, we have stated his forefather's linage from Afghanistan etc... You have deleted that! You are now going to stand as being the authority to deny him his linage? You want an article to prove it? Which newspaper can you dig out from 1925 which will talk about his linage for you to accept this as being the truth? "Let them have cake!".... This was stated by the Queen of France; Do you have any written proof that she in fact said that apart from it taken from a quote of a book written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions? NO! So, just because he wrote it in a book of his own, you think it is authentic & thus it is 'Wikipedia' worthy... What if she did not say this? What if she suddenly came out of her grave & removed from Wikipedia saying "I am Marie Antoinette & I never said this" & she deletes it from Wikipedia... Are you also going to say to her "NO! YOU ARE WRONG... You have no proof that you did not say this... we have a book written by a 3rd party and since he wrote that first and it was not challenged for centuries, to hell with you and your authenticity!!!???" It just doesn't make sense! There has got to be a better way... You cannot play with peoples lives like this and allow a free for all to put things in like this & deny the truth by the person concerned himself... That means that wikipedia stands for "Your Biography as seen by other people & their opinions regardless of the truth!!"... And you are going to hold 'News Paper' articles as your authority to authenticate the genuinity of a piece of information.. Surely you cannot be so naive into thinking that newspaper articles are manipulated at times, bought at times & also written with certain bias as well'! Please do some thing. This is just too tragic and unfair.. Yours Truly Peter Downings
Hey Melanie, I found an article related to San Diego. It is San Diego University for Integrative Studies.

I am brand new to Wikipedia and have been trying to build the page for Spot 6 Management Originally I thought I created 2 pages, one as "Spot 6 management" and "Spot 6 Management" so I marked one for deletion but it was an error, so I deleted the tag because I realized my error, I did not realize I could not do that so I apologize. That said, I see that my page is being flagged as Spam or as advertising or promotional and not notable or encyclopedic. I have read all the guidelines and reviewed the short summary for Spot 6 Management but cannot see which sentences or statements are causing the issue and no one is providing any specific details, just general statements that it violates conduct. I do not want to violate and want to fix whatever does not comply but I honestly have no clue what parts are not in compliance.

My read of the edit history at this article indicates that ALL of the editors involved in the thread on "allegations of inappropriate sexuality" edited the article without prior notification or approval in Talk.

Hi, Melanie. I have no idea how to correctly respond on the San Diego High School issue you asked about, so I'll try here. I was a deputy/chief deputy city attorney in San Diego from 1969 to 1997. In 1972, I wrote a legal opinion that San Diego High School was clearly encroaching, in total, on dedicated Balboa Park land. The encroachment began in the 1880's when the park land had been deeded in fee to the City, but before the park was officially dedicated. A 1903 California Supreme Court case specifically held that a public school was an illegal use of park land. Because of the equities involved, the City was amenable to a deal where the school could be rebuilt with already approved bond funds, but only under a 50 year free lease. At the expiration of the lease, the school agreed that it would relocate out of the park. What else do you need to know? I don't know, or care, what a "tilde" is. <redacted> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balboaparkfan ( talk • contribs) 01:23, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Sorry that you'll be leaving for a couple of weeks. I've found your comments invaluable, even though I don't agree with all of them. You are certainly a moderating influence in a very frustrating process. At CFredkin's urging, I did go to a Noticeboard to report the problem. I hope I did that right. I'm a novice at this, though I've been editing Wikipedia for six years. The #*)#* interactive form repeatedly gave me a "wrong token" message after I'd written a couple thousand words. I finally gave up and completely redid it, and it worked, causing me to discover my original error. I had noted the disputed article as "Carl DeMaio" instead of "Carl_DeMaio." My laptop has had increasing nasty problems as well, causing me to lose work, having to redo edits, losing bookmarks for articles (not Wikipedia) on which I've been working. Very frustrating. Have a good "vacation." Write if you find work. :-) Activist ( talk) 06:05, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments, your research is great. All I can say is I wrote the City Attorney's legal opinion in 1973, which resulted in the lease in 1974. With your research ability. I bet you can find the 1903 Cal Sup Ct case on schools in parks in quick order. With your present research re "squatters" "lease" etc, I think it's clear enough that they are in the park, and that my comments were accurate. I don't intend to suggest any more corrections to Wikipedia. I'm just in the process of making interested parties aware of the lease expiring in 2024, and the lack of any action at all by the school district to plan for relocation or perform its obligation to relocate out of the park, which was its agreed consideration for the free, 50 yr lease.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

I wouldn't worry about the RFA. If someone wants to hold a knife to the throat of an innocent candidate and use that as a threat or political statement about someone (me), that speaks to their character and not mine. It is a bully move, almost a type of extortion or act of cowardice, but in the end it is meaningless. The root of the issue would appear to lie way before the RFA, and as hard as might try, I simply don't give a damn about their opinion. But I appreciate your efforts. Czar is a fine candidate.

I've had a look at those articles now, and I won't look too deeply at what the students wrote (I wonder how the professor assesses material placed in wikipedia). I think what you did with the Nepalese buckwheat article is appropriate; it looks as if at least two species had been conflated, and some other parts would have been more appropriate at cover crop. I've added a little at various buckwheat articles in the hope of preventing such confusion in future. (Using common names for article titles causes all sorts of messes, and I'm sure it has made this poor student's life more difficult.

Good morning, Melanie! I started an article about a naturalist, Paul Rosolie but now I'm not sure if it meets our notability threshold, can you please take a look and express your opinion? I was in the process of expanding that article now, but it looks like my mobile battery will not last long so I kept it incomplete. Any sort of help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Melanie. I see you commented on the deletion of the page for Computer Economics. Could you review the material I submitted for consideration on the firm's notability? ==Deletion review for Computer Economics== An editor has asked for a deletion review of Computer Economics. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Thanks in advance.

I'd like to ask you to reconsider your delete vote in light of new information. The article is actively being edited the students and instructor to address the promotion concerns. Antrocent ( ♫♬) 02:48, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
![]() | On 30 December 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Charles DeWitt Watts, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Charles DeWitt Watts, the first African American board-certified surgeon in North Carolina, worked a paper route to help pay for his college education? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Charles DeWitt Watts. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
