Commercial links

Please be careful about adding commercial links. Wikipedia:External links has a dim view of them. One problem is if we have one such link then many webmasters feel entitled to add their sites as well. In general, we want to add info the encyclopedia rather than direct people elsewhere to find it. Not to worry. Cheers, -Will Beback 05:48, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice name!

I was delighted to see your edit to List of California ballot propositions 2000-present and immediately thought, That must be someone living in the 310 area code. Thanks for adding info on our local elections! — Reinyday, 08:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Pasadena City College

Your addition to Pasadena City College left me scratching my head. Are the campus police armed now? Did the survey question ask if they should be? Maybe there's a word missing. -Will Beback 05:16, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now it makes sense.[1] Cheers, -Will Beback 05:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pasadena City College

Hey, great to see another PCC attendee here at Wikipedia! I was there from 2003 until July of this year, how about you, when did you start?--Folksong 06:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UCLA Taser incident video link

Why did you change the video linked from UCLA Taser incident? They seem to be 2 copies of the same video. Flatscan 01:30, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The new link directed to the original video, so I should have been changed. =D Jumping cheese

^Cont@ct 01:19, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the link should direct to the original video, but I'm not sure that we can determine which is the original or earliest, as YouTube provides posting date, but not time. Threeonezero described his link as the "actual" video, implying that the original link was not "actual" (I inferred "cut" or "altered"), and I was curious about the basis of that claim. I did a quick search for jedifreac (Threeonezero's link) and came up with this LiveJournal post, which has a disclaimer at the top disavowing that jedifreac has any particular knowledge of the incident. jedifreac however appears to be a UCLA student and a CLICC staff member. The video that I saw originally has more Views, Comments, and Favorites, probably due to being posted on digg. Flatscan 04:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When searching for "ucla taser" and sorting by date, jedifreac's video is earliest 6:53 copy. I fully withdraw my objections to the edit. As a bit of trivia, the version linked at the top of Video and eyewitness accounts currently has 382,631 views. Flatscan 04:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orange Line

Why did you move the orange line page from "Orange Line Transitway" to "LACMTA Orange Line"? its technically a transitway and not a rail line so it should follow the naming conventions of the transitways than that of the rail lines. RickyCourtney 22:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding edits made to Jackie Chan

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Threeonezero! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule img[0-9]+\.imageshack\.us\/my.php\?image\=.*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg), is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 04:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Privacy concerns

Hey, I noticed you self=censoring some images in the Metro Rapid article due to "privacy concerns." However, I really don't think that this is necessary. If the owner/driver of the car specifically asks us to remove the photo – great, we'll do it. But otherwise, there's really no need to remove the photos. Cheers! —lensovet–talk – 05:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Metro Rapid

I removed the information for most of the lines because in the first section of the article, it mentions the consent decree ruling and how most lines are required to run at specific times and headways, and that applies to nearly all of the Metro Rapid lines. I did it to remove redundancy. But if you think it should be there, then that's fine with me. -Rcstampede 15:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page

You might want to request that it be semi-protectected, given its recent history. Someguy1221 06:25, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Wescom Credit Union

A tag has been placed on Wescom Credit Union 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Wescom Credit Union

The article Wescom Credit Union has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not clear how this orphaned article meets notability guidelines, lacks any references to 3rd party sources

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Articles for deletion nomination of No Cussing Club

I have nominated No Cussing Club, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/No Cussing Club (3rd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Speedy deletion nomination of Covenant Aviation Security

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Covenant Aviation Security requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Peridon (talk) 13:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Red Mango

The article Red Mango has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability. The only fact that is sourced is that the company once moved its headquarters.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
