Hello. I got your response. I knew it might be a rough idea, but I didn't know that I needed approval from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion]] itself. Do you think I should removed the pages I created, or try and create the in the same way as their corresponding WikiProject pages? - [[User:Qasamaan|Qasamaan]] 22:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC) |

Revision as of 17:28, 28 January 2007
I'm sorry to say that given the size of my watchlist it is impractical for me to keep track of responses on other pages. Bearing that in mind, I would request that, if I make a response on your talk page, you respond there, and I don't respond there within a day or two, that you maybe come to the conclusion that I didn't see your response on my watchlist, and post the reply here. Thank you.

Living persons
OK. I will remember that. I just remember reading in wikipedia somewhere that, so to prevent possiblity of lawsuits in this area, to list a person as living if the article does not have a reputable source indicating otherwise.

To the creators of Diocesan/Archdiocesan articles
I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!

WikiProject Cocktails
Hello. As a person interested in WikiProject Cocktails, you may be interested to know that a name change is being considered from Cocktails to Mixed Drinks. Please add your opinions to the discussion and vote. Also, check out the recent changes to the WikiProject area. Consider becoming an active Participant. Thanks! --Willscrlt 08:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hello again. As someone who seems pretty familiar with WikiProject proceedings and Wikipedia in general, I was wondering what your view is on ending the renaming discussion of this project early. I was the silly person who set such a long term for voting (expecting a bit bigger response and a lot more conflict). However, looking at the edit histories of all the past and present members of the Project, I think all but two members have voted who are likely to vote (the other two seem to have gone on hiatus, but at least one supported the change; the other I'm uncertain, but doubt he would object). That would indicate 100% acceptance of the proposal. As I start working in earnest on the assessment of articles, it seems ridiculous to continue creating new categories, templates, etc. under the old name only to have to change them in less than half a month. As a result, some have been named using the new name (depending on how optimistic I feel and how difficult it would be to rename the thing later), and some still have the old. Would there likely be any negative fallout from ending the discussion and voting early, even though we have not yet met the early ending criteria I arbitrarily set? We obviously have consensus among those most likely to care or even express any opinion. And waiting makes much more work down the line. I'd appreciate your feedback, here or on my talk page, whichever is more convenient for you. Thanks. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 03:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding and the advice. I will do it then whenever I feel ready to tackle the challenge. :-) Probably within the next 48 hours. --Willscrlt (Talk·Cntrb) 14:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Tamaskan
I just want to make sure before I put my article up again that you think I have enough referances. We have The Tamaskan Dog Register website, Tamaskan Dog Society of Great Britain website, National Tamaskan Club of America website, The Tamaskan Dog Showing Club at judgedogs.com we have 4 breeders websites in 3 different countries. We also have 2 local newspaper articles, a Tamaskan Brochure (although it is published by the register and has no IBAN no. as it is a brochure not book) as well as the old Tamaskan Breeders guide, a mention in Our Dogs and a profile on dogbreedinfo.com do you think that would be enough or should I leave it a bit longer until we have a bit more positive publicity?

Yes atheism is immune
ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Historical_persecution_by_atheism#.5B.5BHistorical_persecution_by_atheism.5D.5D I would like to word it right but can not because there is no way to not be offensive I can't think of how. Please help. Vote to keep the article. There are articles on Chrisitian, Judaism and Islam but why not atheism? Fair is Fair. LoveMonkey 06:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Temples and shrines in Kyoto
Hiya. Regarding your decision to split the Category:Temples and shrines of Kyoto - I'm not particularly opposed to the move, I would just like to mention a few points. (1) I originally created the category with the phrasing "temples and shrines" with the intention that "Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines" was implied. Now that they are split, why not go for "Buddhist temples in Kyoto" or "Temples in Kyoto" and "Shinto shrines in Kyoto" or "Shrines in Kyoto"? That is to say, since all temples (寺) are Buddhist and all shrines (神社) are Shinto, why not shrink down the category names? (2) There is a degree of syncretism in Japanese religion, and while it is fairly simple to label all -dera, -ji, and -in places as Buddhist and all -jinja and -jingu places as Shinto, is this split really 100% accurate? Do these places not contain elements of both faith systems? As I said, I don't really have a problem with this move, I just want to make sure that we've considered all the angles and done what's ultimately best organizationally. Thoughts?

Additions
Sir, I've made some additions to the Teachings section in Ayyavazhi article. Please take a look.
Also, One thing I wish to remain once again, (perhaps you might not have noticed, which I told earlier)
- "one correction; It was noted in the article that, Ayyavazhi was founded by Ayya Vaikundar in 19th century South India. ==> Ayyavazhi was not founded by Vaikundar. Ayyavazhi rise-up as a religion(developed) after the period of Vaikundar only based on his teachings, but not initially founded by him."
Sir if any suggestion please tell. Also, Thanks for all help edits. - Paul 00:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Okey, Sir. Sorry and Thanks very much for all helps and quick response. - Paul 00:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
New WP:PARA page
Hey. I'd like to delete this page you created recently; the very fact that we have those categories (and a link to them in our navbox) makes this redundant. --InShaneee 01:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Crap alive! I didn't know that was even possible! Consider my objections withdrawn with all haste; that's just awesome (however, I'm still not sure that the 'adding articles to that page' goal needs to be there; that's a pretty mechanical task that can be done using the handy-dandy assessment log). --InShaneee 01:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Don't suppose I could convince you to volenteer for the job? :) --InShaneee 02:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Rightous! One other thing though: the page seems a bit sparse. According to the Assessment page, the project includes exactly 600 articles at present. Do you think it's just because a lot are missing tags? --InShaneee 02:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Alright, cool. Just be careful; Quang khem sounds like an actual animal (and thus not under our scope), and creatures that are purely mythological in nature fall under the Mythology project's scope. --InShaneee 02:09, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and you can find a list of all current Paranormal articles that may be missing Cats here. --InShaneee 02:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- That's dangerous territory, though, do be careful. Many 'mythological' creatures don't qualify as Cryptids (as no one seems to be claiming that they were or ever real, and many would argue that once a creature is confirmed as 'real', it no longer qualifies as a Cryptid (and thus wouldn't be under our scope, anyway). --InShaneee 02:16, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Caesar Rodriguez, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Sorry about prod-ing this but a single unverified line seems lame after a year sooo.... Pigmantalk • contribs 18:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the updated info. I've removed the prod because I think it's now a nice stub worth keeping. Cheers. --Pigmantalk • contribs 19:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Category confusion
What's a way to fix some category mess like what I see at this link? "first century Christianity" is red-linked to a category that itself is also red-linked (Ancient Christian Demonimations). The latter contains one article ... I'm so confused! Thanks for your thoughts; hope you're well. Keesiewonder 03:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
No rush; you fixed what I was confused about. Thanks again, and I'm glad you're feeling better. Keesiewonder 00:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Wiki Project Central America
Badbiltucker - Can you please move the page for the proposed project to an actua =l project, or do we need to wait for something? I'm ready to go!!! Srice13 06:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Since we already have List of religions it isn't clear to me what the point of this is. I would suggest making it a redirect. JoshuaZ 04:02, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Prince Joseph Wenzel of Liechtenstein
Prince Joseph Wenzel of Liechtenstein under Wikipedia:WikiProject Switzerland? I'm guessing there must not be a WikiProject Liechtenstein so we toss the L'steins in with the Swiss? House of Scandal 18:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is not now and never is likely to be a project directly relating to Liechtenstein. Also, unfortunately, the quality of the majority of the Liechtenstein articles is not really at all good. By having them assessed and included in the scope of a project, they might receive a bit more attention, particularly if individuals interested in Liechtenstein joined the project. The France project has just recently expanded to include Andorra and Monaco on a similar basis. Eventually, when I get the articles lists together for all these projects, they can also be checked for improvements, vandalism, and other changes. I wish the country were large enough to get its own project, but I really can't see that ever happening, and having an interested project is better than not having one. I hope anyway. Badbilltucker 18:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Cool. No objections. BTW, I've noticed you've made several minor edits to articles I made in the past week. Thanks for the attention, my work often needs tweaking. House of Scandal 18:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I would appreciate your input if you could give it a quick once over. Joe I 19:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Scottish Fauna
Dear Badbilltucker, I have just posted a new article: Fauna of Scotland. I'd like to think it is a decent amateur effort, but I am not a zoologist and would appreciate input from Wikipedians with zoological credentials. I note the existence of the WikiProject Mammals, but I didn't want to go blundering in. Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. --Ben MacDui (Talk) 11:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the messages you sent me. I'm having problems connecting to the internet at home right now, but I'm managing to connect ad hoc. I would love some help in creating a project page, as I wouldn't have the first clue where to start. Please keep in touch, although I apologise in advance if I cannot answer you as soon as I would usually have done. Cheers!--Pilipala9 14:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
OMG!
I left you a thank you note at [1].
FYI, he did get a welcome message, from me, that he called spam.
As I'm sure you've now noticed, he removed your post on his talk, another editor reverted this, and JJ's removed it again. Because of this flurry, you may be interested in reading the AN/I and checkuser I initiated last week for the very kinds of things that you've noticed today. Kind Regards, Keesiewonder talk 19:35, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Kindly Observe WP:Harassment and WP:NPA
Please stop cluttering my user talk page. Thank you. Justas Jonas 19:50, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Pay attention. It was reverted most recently by an automated bot. And, while we're at it, try to observe the rules regarding personal attacks or I will request that you be blocked. Badbilltucker 19:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind concern. Thanks for observing WP:Harassment and WP:NPA. Justas Jonas 20:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- If only you would. By the way, for someone who has only himself been active since December 30, I find it strange that you have commented on the Talk:Book of Concord page to the effect that someone else has "only" been around a month longer than you have. Maybe there is something to the sockpuppet allegation after all. Then again, maybe not. :) Badbilltucker 20:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind concern. Thanks for observing WP:Harassment and WP:NPA. Justas Jonas 20:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Badbilltucker -- Actually, assuming the sockpuppet perspective is not true, my obvious membership is over two months longer than JJ's. I spent a month reading and observing before actively editing. Regards, Keesiewonder talk 21:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, well in that case, since Keesie actually is so vastly much more experienced, I humbly withdraw my totally unfounded and rude suggestion that Keesie is not much more of a newbie than I am. I stand corrected. I had no idea she has the benefit of such long experience on Wikipedia. I'm still getting used to using the edit count/history windows.Justas Jonas 21:18, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- If only you could stop your other rude comments, and rude behavior, like unilaterally moving a page, you might have at least some of your existing problems licked. :) Badbilltucker 21:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

- I shall strive for Wikiperfection! And shall hope that I'm not too much of a burden on all who have shared their kind concerns with me. Justas Jonas 21:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- You're right, you first edited on October 18, two and a half months before the person who has accused you of being new. That is odd. :) Badbilltucker 21:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
There are dozens of other unfounded and rude remarks posted by JJ that await apology. It could be argued that virtually every edit summary of JJ's and every talk page post and every edit on his own talk page counts as violation of some kind of wiki-ethic or a jab at someone. The jury's still out; sometimes it takes longer to repair damage than it does to behave with good faith the first time around. Before you (JJ) accuse me of some nonsense, yet again, remember who blanked their user page of a welcome message, from me, and called it spam. Nice! Keesiewonder talk 21:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Not to put too fine a point on things, but Keesie, I put on my user page that I would take down anthing that was deemed to be clutter or not necessary and yes, the word "spam" was in that list. You chose to assume that I removed your stuff because it was "spam." I removed it because it was, in my estimation, just cluttering up my talk page and I just didn't want it. Sorry you remain so profoundly offended. Justas Jonas 23:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Too true. His repeated violations of Wikipedia:No personal attacks are such that I think a lot of people will continue to look upon him as a troublemaker, particularly if he continues in his current fashion of falsely accusing people all over wikipedia of acting in ways outside of the rules, when in fact it was his own behavior which has consistently been objectionable. I do think that appropriate apologies are due to several other people in wikipedia and in a lot of places in wikipedia, particularly if the editor in question ever wants to actually earn respect from his fellows. Badbilltucker 22:05, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- I herewith apologize to everyone on Wikipedia whom I have offended in any way, shape or form by anything I posted, or did not post, or anything I did that Keesie says was wrong for me to do. I'm sorry for not obeying Keesie and following her directions, nor for seeking her approval and permission to make any edit I have made. And I surely do thank her from the bottom my heart for following me about on Wikipedia and monitoring my every move and accusing me of being other people. All this, I realize now, was just for my own good. Justas Jonas 23:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sarcasm, as well, and from someone so clearly (ahem) new. And, yes, if people would not have checked up on you and perhaps corrected your own mistakes, you might not be able to post such sarcastic statements anywhere on wikipedia. So, yes, I do think real apologies are still in order. Badbilltucker 23:06, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- BadBill, come now, I'm sure I do not need to remind an experienced user like you about the "assume good faith" policy that I've been told about. I shall however overlook your less than kind assumption and in the spirit of assuming good faith assume you meant it for my good, in which case, I do thank you kindly for your kind attention. Justas Jonas 23:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Rrright. Just as someone who clearly isn't aware of wikipedia guidelines from his regular conduct would know how to quote the rules he wants to only apply rules when he is himself the beneficiary of such conduct. Sure. ;) And, as noted, please cease using my message board for your continuing conduct. It is better placed elsewhere, if it is honest.

- As I am myself less than certain that such apologies shall ever be forthcoming from the fellow in question, I would like to take the opportunity to apologize on his behalf to any parties who he may have in his reckless behavior and conduct insulted, and I shall try to do what I can to ensure that no further damage is caused by him. As I currently have more pages than I really want to ever acknowledge on my watchlist, I think I shall be able, to some degree, to do so. Badbilltucker 22:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- By the way, your approach may not work here. So, in the interests of reasonable discussion and civil behavior, I suggest you post your "apologies" directly to the person who has been the brunt of the majority of your inappropriate personal attacks and other misconduct. Badbilltucker 23:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hmmmm, Badbilltucker, sounds like intercessory apology, which might be a new coinage. Well, I maintain the jury's still out on a few fronts ... Thanks for your efforts and our wiki-rapport! :-) Keesiewonder talk 22:30, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

How well do you understand {{PD-self}}? Like, if person #1 uploads an image for a book authored by person # 2, and includes the tag {{PD-self}}, what is the likelihood that person # 1 and person # 2 are the same person? If you look around at some of today's popular article edit histories, you'll see what I'm talking about. Or just ask, and I'll show you what I saw. Thanks! Keesiewonder talk 01:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it helps. So, see this (image removed), this (longer ago, image uploaded; note uploader); remember the only AN/I I've initiated to date, with its supporting checkuser, and know that the book in the graphic is this. ???? Keesiewonder talk 02:05, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Vaporeon in the scope of cryptozoology???
I'm flummozed trying to figure out why a fictional animal would be in the scope of the cryptozoology project? Cryptozoologists are looking for "hidden" animals thought to not exist, not animals that a corporation made up for a game, that's like adding Goombas.

A tag has been placed on Cateegory:Cities articles needing infoboxes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

Adashino Nenbutsu-ji
Hi Badbilltucker,
Just a quick note to let you know I removed a template you had added to Adashino Nenbutsu-ji. It's possible that there's a good reason for the template, so of course feel free to add it back. I'd be interested to know the rationale.
Thanks Fg2 21:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. The temple was established on a site that had been used for disposal (exposed, not buried) of bodies of the dead, and could have Shinto interest, but as a Buddhist temple seemed most natural as a Buddhist stub. Best regards Fg2 21:07, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Badbill. You may want to look at this in the context of WP:WikiProject Religion. User edits Islam-related articles a lot; I know him well and have the utmost respect for him.Itsmejudith 22:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
WP:Iceland article categories
Hi Badbilltucker
The "articles by quality" categories you have created for WikiProject:Iceland do not match the category names called by the template. AFAIK, all such categories should have been named "A-Class ..." etc. with a capital "C". The non-article categories do in fact spell "Class" with a capital C. I hope you don't mind if I replace your set of categories with a new set which will match both the template calls and the category names for similar material. Regards. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 23:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just a fly in the ointment :) You do a very nice job. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 23:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- It looks like we were working from two different angles at the same time. I'd just created a set of categories that matched the template call and the names of similar categories. Is it ok with you if I revert your last edit to the banner and use the categories with the capital "C"? Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 23:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- Done. I've marked the other categories for speedy deletion. Happy editing. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 23:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Re:RfC comment & separate question
Hi Badbilltucker,
I've joined the project. I think it is a good idea if the members of this project have a to-do list and start working on the pages all together, no matter what the topic is. The major problem in relgious related problems is lack of enough (dis-interested, less biased) editors. Most of the editors who are interested to work on particular religous articles usually share some common ground. Anyways, Thanks for visiting my RfC. Cheers, --Aminz 00:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Here are the concerns I have with Christianity related articles:
- We lack a section/article on the teachings of Jesus and how it greatly influeneced mankind. I have found academic sources for that here [2]. I was personally amazed at the teachings of Jesus, and academic scholars have written on this and the influence of his message, the radical new ethical elements he introduced, but wikipedia is almost silent on this issue.
- Historical Jesus: Please see this section and the link [3]. I think it can be neutralized.
- I think Criticism of Christianity is biased against Christianity. For example, this information [4] could be used in that article. Criticism of Christian Ethics section should at least state how Christian Ethics improved the ethics of humanity. Furthermore, it might be good to separate Christianity as practiced from Christianity as Jesus taught.
--01:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Wouldn't most Christians find that last sentence offensive? The religion that isn't getting any attention is Sikhism. For example Hinduism and the Sikh Panth is a POV screed attempting to prove the right-wing Hindu claim that Sikhism is part of Hinduism, something that Sikhs (rightly) deny. The very title of the article is implying that it is part of Hinduism. The article relies on OR, sourced falsehoods, and Khushwant Singh, who is not a scholar of religion.

Actually, I'm thinking about converting the entire WikiProject into a SubProject at WP:X to include all non-mainstream Christian religions. This includes those of Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism and others. But I'm not sure if the expansion will deter interested people. --wL<speak·check·chill> 22:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
friends
Ok; thanks for the heads up. I don't see anything that concerns me yet. Looks like this user's first 4 edits to the ML article were today, and the 4th edit reverted to the state of the article before his/her first. Also, the welcome note on the user's page is from an active gent at the ML article. So, we're at par; alert but not concerned yet. Unless you can point me to something I missed. Thanks!

Comment
I see you tagged Norse paganism with the wiki-project neopaganism tag. I don't know how appropriate this is, because at least in the sphere of articles I edit, we keep modern religions and revivals separate from the historical pagan religions. There was actually quite a bit of discussion about this quite awhile back and that was the consensus. So for example, all of the religions listed at Germanic neopaganism are neopagan, as are most of them at Polytheistic reconstructionism. (Both of these articles are basically the portals leading to all of their sub entries, of which there are many.) I'd love to discuss it further with you to kind of get an idea what you are working on. - WeniWidiWiki 02:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry I misunderstood (and misread apparently) what you where doing. Anyway, if you need any help let me know. - WeniWidiWiki 02:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Admin Oversight
Sorry it's taken a bit to get back to you. First off, note that the user I posted under on the discussion page didn't seem to excited about the concept, either. Now, I just see this as becoming a thing that would be abused; as someone who's been on RfC recently, I know how easily a mudslinging festival can be called 'evidence gathering'. To maintain a true image of impartiality, such a review board would have to take a LOT of cases on, and would be under a LOT of pressure to maintain 'integrity'. Basically, I can't imagine it NOT degenerating into a which hunt. It's even worse if it has no authority; then, admins could be 'condemned', but go on editing to the jeers of their critics, which they now would be forced to accept. Not that I'm saying they should have any authority; that would cause all sorts of conflicts with ArbCom. Really, I just see this as another way to focus on people instead of content, which can only slow down work and drive people away in my eyes. --InShaneee 04:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi there,
Would be possible for you to post your reasons for why the al-Kindi article qualified for a B-Class rating on the articles talk page, and what steps you feel can be taken to improve it to a GA-Class article.

Re:WikiProject Judaism template
Hello. I got your response. I knew it might be a rough idea, but I didn't know that I needed approval from Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion itself. Do you think I should removed the pages I created, or try and create the in the same way as their corresponding WikiProject pages? - Qasamaan 22:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- No it's okay. You know what? For now, I think I might deactivate the template and restore the WikiProject Judaism one. I, in fact, only turned it into a hidden note, and I can easily reverse the process. I won't really like to receive complaints, so for now I have to do it. - Qasamaan 22:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Awesome Colors - notability?
A tag has been placed on Awesome Colors, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

A tag has been placed on David Grauer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please 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. Mkdwtalk 09:50, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Scanian and Finland?
Hi Badbilltucker
I just noticed that you've placed a WP:Finland banner on Scanian (linguistics). Sorry but you lost me there. Scanian is spoken in southern Sweden in what was eastern Denmark until 300 years ago (I've deliberately avoided placing a WP:Denmark banner there since it will probably provoke somebody no matter that the oldest Danish record is in Scanian). But Finland ??? Charles X Gustav considered deporting the Scanians to Ingria but it was never carried out. Were you thinking about something else? Regards. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 22:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. I'm currently tagging Danish articles so if I haven't done so already, I'll probably do something similar real soon. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 22:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey. I know almost nothing about dog breeds, but Kuhmoisten Sanomat seems to be the local newspaper in Kuhmoinen, a (very small) municipality in Finland. Therefore, obtaining a copy of the issue does not seem very possible. The referenced article translates as "A family with dogs enjoys being close to nature" or similar, so I don't know if it contains any real information about this dog breed. However, the author of the article is listed on the newspaper's official website, with an e-mail address. She might be able to help out, in English too. The Finnish name of the dog seems to be "Tamaskankoira". It's listed on fi:Luettelo suomalaisista kotieläinroduista ("list of Finnish dog breeds"), but does not have an article on the Finnish Wikipedia. Prolog 22:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Wiki project aviculture
I am thinking about starting a project to organise aviculture pages on the wiki. I find that sometimes a section is started on a bird species page, only to be deleted or drastically reduced by ornithologists. I think that new aviculture pages that interlink with species might work better. Do you have anything to say about starting a wiki project. Snowman 13:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
