Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 01:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing "wrong" with us. You haven't provided any reliable sources that show that anything you wrote in your article is true. Please read our policy on verifiability, which is not negotiable. All articles must be verifiable. I tried searching on Google for "Lakroukro" and there is not a single mention of it anywhere on the web. If this were a notable incident and a widely used term it would likely have at least some mention on the web. Until you have some sources that you can add to the article it cannot be included on Wikipedia. Continually recreating this article in its current state will result in you being blocked. Please do not create it again in its current form. Thanks, Gwernol 01:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure you read what about a reliable source is on Wikipedia. Blogs, forums and personal websites are not considered reliable. You need several published, independent sources, for example in a newspaper or similar. You can only recreate the article if you have multiple sources of this nature. Thanks, 01:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gwernol (talk • contribs)

Again, please read out policy on verifiability. Forums and blogs are not reliable sources because anyone could put anything on them. To avoid publishing articles based on hoaxes we must have sources we can rely on to show that the subject of an article is true. By the way, I am baffled by your comment "You can always believe a white person but never a black person". Are you trying to suggest my editing is motivated by racism? If so, i will ask you to retract that accusation, which I find deeply offensive. If you are trying to suggest something else, I'd appreciate it if you would explain what exactly. Thanks, Gwernol 02:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Char'roolz Tailer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion of D.O.X.

A tag has been placed on D.O.X. 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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Blowdart | ^talk 22:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "2C (Rapper)"

A page you created, 2C (Rapper), has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a band or other musical group, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for musical groups in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Proposed deletion of Grind Time

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Grind Time, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable competition. Fails WP:RS. WP:N.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 04:47, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
