RE: Lucia Peka

Relevant and timely updates and links were reverted. Please check and return the updates. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fostercourt (talk • contribs) 01:22, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

I've restored the text, but please note that links to Flickr are against the external links guidelines. Regards, RA0808 ^talk_contribs 01:37, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Take note. The images from the Flickr account are of paintings I personally own (as noted in the entry) and which were on loan to the organization which posted their likeness. Further, I updated the tour information to reflect the conclusion of the tour and some of the cities visited. These revisions were also deleted and should be restored.

I created and objectively maintain this entry. Your edits are not helpful nor accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fostercourt (talk • contribs) 18:42, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

The links you added were to a social networking site (Flickr) which as I may state for a second time is against the external links guidelines. If the organisation were to operate a web page with images of the paintings, that could be linked.

I have reverted back to your original text, with some "citation needed" tags for some statements. Regards, RA0808 ^talk_contribs 18:59, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

White doves

I wrote that white doves flew over the White House on the day of Barack Obama's inaugaration. I feel that it was unfair to delete this edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.18.223 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 10 May 2012 (UTC):

Since your edit included no source and seemed to be arbitrarily added to the article, it was removed. Proceeding to state "Die Wikipedia", then "losers" in further edits did nothing to help your case. RA0808 ^talk_contribs 20:56, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Ustad Yo badshah

Hi, thanks for tagging Ustad Yo badshah for deletion, however you may not have noticed the final sentence in it. I did and deleted it G10 rather than A7 and then blocked the author. ϢereSpielChequers 21:43, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for catching that! I guess I should have tried to read the whole thing before tagging it. RA0808 ^talk_contribs 21:43, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes always worth reading the whole thing. Sometimes everything can seem totally reasonable till you see a final barbed sentence at the end, othertimes a person can seem utterly unnotable until you see a final sentence such as "best known for winning silver in the 1920 Olympics" ϢereSpielChequers 12:10, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Meghji Pethraj Shah

Hello RA0808. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Meghji Pethraj Shah, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: famous is an assertion of importance. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 09:32, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

BREMERTON WILDCATS

RA0808, I received your msg regarding Speedy Deletion of the recently posted 'Bremerton Wildcats' article and see that the page has been removed. I ask that you permit me to resubmit the page with modification and give me to opportunity to make a cogent argument as to why it does not fall into the 'Sports' 'Club' Speedy Delete category. This is my first attempt at getting a Wikipedia article published, without assistance, and the Speedy Delete function caught me off guard. As you will note, the article on the 'Bremerton Wildcats' was not haphazardly created. After posting the article, I left the office to take care of other business, was considering how I would word my Speedy Delete argument, and found the article had already been deleted by the time I had returned to the office to make my argument. I argue at this time, that you have been too haste in the action you have taken. James J. Portune (talk) 22:11, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

While I did mark the article for speedy deletion, I was not the one who actually did delete it. The actual administrator who removed your article was User:Peridon. The speedy deletion nomination is so that users like myself, who monitor recent edits and created pages, can alert administrators to articles that meet the criteria for speedy deletion. These criteria have been established over long periods of time, and can be assumed to have consensus of Wikipedia editors for swift deletion of said articles from the encyclopedia.

If you read the message posted on your talk page you will see that the nomination had nothing to do with the quality of the article in question, it had to do with the subject of the article. The article was extremely well written, and I sincerely commend you on that, but the fact remains that the Bremerton Wildcats is a club or organisation and the article did not establish why the subject is credible or significant/notable. Therefore the article meets CSD A7 and can be immediately removed. For more information on notability for organisations on Wikipedia, I would suggest checking out this page.

I'm more than happy to continue discussing this with you, but feel free to bring this up with Peridon as well. Regards, RA0808 ^talk_contribs 04:37, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Once I ran into the Speedy Deletion process, being this is the first article I have attempted to submit, I understood the process and the reason for it. I simply wasn't given enough time to compile my argument and submit it before the article was deleted. What I am asking for is the chance to make modifications and resubmit the article after I have had the time to review the significance criteria for club or organization.

A question of clarification in regards to Speedy Deletion (club)(organization). I do not see the difference between the "Seattle Mountaineers", "Tacoma Jets", and "Snohomish County Explosion" articles and the "Bremerton Wildcats" article. I utilized all three of these articles as examples while developing the "Bremerton Wildcats" article primarily because these are teams that the "Bremerton Wildcats" compete against. The difference is that the "Bremerton Wildcats" function as an independent traveling basketball team, while those three clubs/organizations/teams play primarily within the confines of a structured regional league. Additionally, the "Bremerton Wildcats", a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization like the "Seattle Mountaineers", run an extensive youth development program comprised of underprivelege Africian-American youth, almost identical to European football club, where as the "Seattle Mountaineers", "Tacoma Jets", and "Snohomish County Explosion" are strictly adult men's basketball teams. It would seem, that this in itself would make the "Bremerton Wildcats" significant. It was these three articles and the greater depth of the "Bremerton Wildcats" program that sparked me to write the "Bremerton Wildcats" article. Helping me to understand these specific differences will provide me with the foundation to make the needed correction to for resubmission.

From what I understand, you can ask an administrator to "undelete" your article and move it into your userspace where you will be able to modify it and seek other editor's opinions.

As for clarification of Criterion for Speedy Deletion, I'm afraid I am not knowledgeable enough in that area to help you. There are plenty of other editors much more experienced than I in creating and improving new articles and I'm sure they will be glad to help you. RA0808 ^talk_contribs 00:50, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Can you please help me, then?

I've added concrete proof about a certain ending of a game and yet the other editor continues to remove it for no reason. What more does he want? Please help me. --190.146.154.188 (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, you'd have to ask the other editor that in a civil manner. However you have repeatedly personal attacked the other editor, and as such you have been reported to Wikipedia Administrators for repeated personal attacks here, here, and here. RA0808 ^talk_contribs 19:31, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
