Hi. I'm curious about your removal of the A7 tag on Mark Capri on the grounds of "sources". Is there a guideline that having sources is automatically a credible claim of significance, regardless of what the sources are? I'm not confusing significance with notability here. At best, sources may convey notability, the existence of which generally overrides the defect of a absence of a CCS and, instead, calls for expanding the article to indicate the nature of the person's notability. But the source given here don't do that. Two of them merely document that Capri's parents are dead, and one confirms his lack of any attention-worthy role in any production. Turning away from the sources back to the article itself, the strongest claim it makes for this person is that he had a role that, as expressly stated, was not significant.

Hi. A User:Pricedelink, seems to have moved List_of_artifacts_in_Philippine_history back to its old (see here) page without explanation, in defiance of the consensus to userify the page. I've tried to undo this, but I discovered it wasn't so easy to do so. May I refer the issue to you? Also, based on this action, my instincts tell me to suspect Pricedelink of sockpuppetry. I wonder if you feel my suspicions are worth following up? Thanks for any action/Input on this matter. - Alternativity ( talk) 15:27, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Richie, I check my Wiki page every once in a while. I did not create it. I don't know how to create a Wiki entry but did appreciate the page. I am not using this as a web host. I'm using GoDaddy and here's my website link: http://www.joellevineesq.com/ Please take a look.
Perhaps I don't qualify but I'd like to point out that the Section 351 Roll up was the first of it's kind and changed the way billions of dollars were invested in real estate. The company was sold to Sam Zell, one of he richest men in America and extremely well known. I've won multiple awards as you can see and my peers have chosen me as best or one of the best mediators and arbitrators. Actors in the 12 movies I produced include Colin Firth, Billy Zane, Eric Roberts, Joanna Cassidy, Beverly D'Angelo and others. My tv show, shot in Africa featured Eddie Albert, Janet Leigh and Steve Kanaly. Please see IMDB. My company, Gibraltar was one of the most successful independents in the early video years and our movies won many awards. My partners wrote and produced Valley Girl and several of our movies. I've had a unique and successful life (I call it the "Miracle of Plan B") in 4 different fields. My first book "Getting In" was a successful Random House publication and used by many college applicants in its day.
In 2003 Harvard Law School invited me to speak to the student body about law, business and the future.

Hmm... I have mixed feelings about this one. I originally marked it as reviewed, but I didn't realize that the Indian National Congress was just a political party, and not... you know... the Parliament of India, which seems obvious in retrospect. So I'm not sure that the article actually says much more than "Tom Smith is a social worker who is active in the Labour Party", since it doesn't actually even claim that this person has held any office of any type at all.

Nowhere does A7 say that if an article has sources it doesn't apply. It's about whether an article makes a claim of significance which this article clearly does not. Adding a few references to random fashion blogs shouldn't be enough to force this to go to AFD. I'd respectfully ask you to reconsider or at least let another admin decide by replacing the tag. (As an aside, the editor is clearly being paid to write these and appears to be socking with Special:Contributions/Guruno). SmartSE ( talk) 21:19, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I am writing to you for the content requirement of Moglix wiki page, which was deleted sometime back.

Hi Ritchie333, What if instead of resorting the article on Moglix, we write a new article sans any promotional content within the article following strict wiki guidelines, which can be proofread by you/any other wiki moderator suggesting changes and then published altogether as a new article on Moglix? Kindly suggest the best way to move forward with this. I'm new on Wikipedia. SiddharthSanger231091 ( talk) 10:33, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
To my mind that relentless thumping right hand piano figure on this classic means that his name will live on forever - even though he didn't write the original song. What a real gem that is.

Hello Ritchie333, i would like to contest against the speedy deletion of this article. Which i forgot to include was, that the musician is also in several movies credited on IMDb such as MTV Awards. [1]
Furthermore the musician qualifies as notable based on the information given within WP:NMUSIC, "Musicians ... may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria ... 2) Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.". I think a deletion is not the right way to go about this article, a improvement request might be more appropriate, as there is more information on google to be found about this artist. Such as interviews and movie credits, chart placements, and collaborations with notable musicians. Hope to hear back from you very soon to discuss this issue further and find a more appropriate solution. Ps. i was not able to click a contest deletion button, how come that didnt show up?

Hello, Ritchie, I recently created an article on Mindy Carlin. It was originally proposed for deletion. After doing more research and finding more sources, the same Wiki user changed it to AfD. In many of the sources, Carlin is only briefly mentioned. I am not relying on those for notability, rather for additional information surrounding her career. She herself is the primary subject of a few of the sources. Her consistent press coverage has spanned from the early 2000s through the present. Some people have called her a local political person but she is involved in local, regional, and state-level politics. Many of her interactions are with state-level politicians such as the candidates for the Governor of Virginia. The fact that she was selected to be one of four business leaders to question two gubernatorial candidates seems noteworthy to me. Also, the original nominator for AfD says it is a long resume or promotional, that is not my intention at all. I have even unearthed, in my research, several controversial issues that I have included. I also am not sure I understand why her personal life section was removed when it was all sourced. Some of it was sourced from an interview with the notable journalist Mary Katharine Ham. I'd appreciate your insights as I am still learning about creating useful pages on Wikipedia!

Since you appear to be around. Regarding
this, I... removed the gold lock because it looked like the expiration time set on the template corresponded to the previous semi, and wasn't changed when protection was upgraded to full. I assumed that when protection was upgraded from semi to full the full "erased" the semi (as far as the actual protection setting and not the lock graphic), and when full protection expired the article would be completely unprotected. But now I'm not so sure, since the expiration of the semi extended longer than the full.

Hey Ritchie,
Thanks for taking the time to look at the Next Games wiki page I submitted. I feel like the investment and founders section is a necessary part of the history and contextualizes the company. Similar companies such as Rovio (another Finnish games company) /info/en/?search=Rovio_Entertainment includes investments and figures.
My two rebuttals - all startup pages have referencing to funding and founders - here are some examples:
- Duolingo - /info/en/?search=Duolingo#Investors - King - /info/en/?search=King_(company)
Many thanks for taking another look!
