Speedy deletion nomination of Merrimack Canoe Company[edit]

A tag has been placed on Merrimack Canoe Company 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Filing Flunky (talk) 22:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

The article Merrimack Canoe Company has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did 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 indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Being 60 years old doesn't meet our notability standards for companies, see WP:CORP. Also, it's up to the author of the article to supply reliable sources (see WP:V) that show the company's notability. Don't just tell us to run a Google search. If you want the article, you need to be willing to do the legwork. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:57, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Garden & Gun[edit]

Hi, Candleabracadabra!

The article on "Garden & Gun" magazine was deleted for three reasons. First, it was created by a user named User:Garden&Gun, which seems an obvious violation of Wikipedia's guideline on Conflict of Interest.

Second, you mentioned Notability - the article had no mention of why the magazine falls under Wikipedia's guidelines on Notability.

Third, there was very little content in the article, and it read like an advertisement - you might want to review Wikipedia's guidelines on Advertising.

All that being said, if you believe the magazine to be notable, feel free to create the article. Please read the above guidelines before doing so, so that what you write can be an effective Wikipedia article.

Here is the entirety of what used to be there:

A new magazine for the sporting Southerner, Garden & Gun reflects the modern lives of affluent Southerners and those who aspire to the sporting life of the South. As its title alludes, Garden & Gun speaks equally to men and women for whom outdoor activities such as hunting, gardening, fishing, sailing, equestrian sports and conservation are more than just hobbies but the centerpieces of a luxurious lifestyle and subjects worthy of intellectual pursuit.

Through one of the South's best assets - its writers - the magazine features great writing from formidable contributers, such as Clyde Edgerton, Pat Conroy and Jack Hitt. Likewise, the photography is spectacular and of the highest quality.

Garden & Gun's definition of the new South and its footprint include not only the states below the Mason-Dixon line but also the Caribbean. Its western border is Louisiana, the northern line the Virginias, the eastern seaboard to the east and Venezuela to the south.

G&G was created and is staffed by veterans from The New Yorker, Field & Stream and Charleston magazine.

G&G represents a unique and aspirational lifestyle title that celebrates Southern heritage and history while displaying a decidedly contemporary approach.

Thanks, and happy editing! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Charleston Mercury[edit]

The article Charleston Mercury has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Calabe 1992 20:55, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your article[edit]

Thanks for citing your article. But just had to swing by to say your username definitely gave me a laugh. :) Calabe 1992 21:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New articles[edit]

I have listed both Lichty Guitars and Roobie Red Tea for deletion discussions at WP:AFD. In general, I question your creation of Wikipedia articles for every small company that happened to get an award from Garden & Gun magazine. This seems to me like an effort at cross-promotion - "hey, we'll give awards to these companies, and then bootstrap those awards into Wikipedia articles." NawlinWiki (talk) 17:49, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI if you look at the history of the Garden & Gun magazine article you will see that it does not respresent the desired version of the people in that publication's employ, and I would appreciate help in maintaining a non pr version. I had never heard of the magazine until I was researching an article on Merrimack Canoes which were featured in an article I was reading in another magazine. I am surprised that both subjects weren't covered here, but they are somewhat recent I suppose. As I wanted to read about the canoe company, but there wasn't an article on it, I started one. Same with the magazine and other subjects. And yes, I am finding lots of other interesting businesses in the "Made in the South" contest Garden & Gun hosts, so I was starting articles on those as well. Isn't that the way articles are supposed to be born here? Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:16, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sole reliance on Garden and Gun, a feature magazine, makes your articles read as promotion. You're relying far too heavily on laudatory quotes, which I've excised from a few articles and substituted more appropriate language that avoids puffery. The subjects may be notable, but you need multiple sources, preferably not from a "fine living" style magazine, and you need to avoid the obviously promotional tone that your recent articles have acquired. Acroterion (talk) 21:27, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your change is in error. While using quotations might not be necessary, the critiques of the work are entirely appropriate. You will find similar assessments in any good Wikipedia article. I have not relied solely on any one source, but certainly being selected by an independent panel of judges for recognition is worthy of note, just as including key details of these assessments is worth noting. For some reason I have been treated with lots assumptions of bad faith, attacks, and attempted deletions. It's certainly discouraging. Candleabracadabra (talk) 21:30, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia editors are extremely sensitive to spam, or a hint of spam. Quotes are to be used sparingly, not scattered through the article. You appear to be editing in good faith, but you haven't quite absorbed the neutrality ethos that prevails here. Just the facts, no editorializing, and, please, use the articles as sources, not for direct quotes. Feature magazines are poor sources for objective, encyclopedic content. Acroterion (talk) 21:42, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your explanation is appreciated. I am open to tweaks, but a handcrafted canoe made with a particular wood and brass fittings is not the same as an aluminum mass produced canoe. So the articles about these custom craftspeople and their products must include an accurate description of their wares. I am open to using alternative sources and have added several already. Please keep in mind that these articles have just been started. Improvements and expansions are most welcome. Candleabracadabra (talk) 21:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Accurate" can simply mean "high-quality canoes" or "hand-crafted fly rods." I have that issue of Garden and Gun, so I'm familiar with the subjects, and have no problem with their inclusion - you just need to (I say this in all sadness), avoid the sprightly prose of others. We get a lot of spam here, and it's ruthlessly deleted, because it would take the place over if it wasn't. Emulate Joe Friday: just the facts, ma'am. Acroterion (talk) 21:50, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it's important to bear in mind that WP is free content, which means that quotation that is not absolutely essential is discouraged, since extensive quotes eat into copyrighted content, which may not be hosted here. Unless it's the the Gettysburg Address (which is public domain anyway), it's best done by paraphrasing. Acroterion (talk) 22:05, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Cedar Mountain, North Carolina[edit]

Your addition to Cedar Mountain, North Carolina has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images.

Charleston Mercury[edit]

Hi. Do you know if the Civil War-era Charleston Mercury has anything to do with the current one? On the current website they mention going to print in 2002[1], and don't say anything about being 150+ years old. Just wondering if you've seen anything else in your research. Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 01:29, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Cabriana Sea Skiffs[edit]

A tag has been placed on Cabriana Sea Skiffs, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

Clearly the deletion was an error, plenty of very substantial coverage in reliable sources. Speedy deleting the article is particularly egregious and narrowminded. It wasn't promotion. It was factual and based on reliable coverage. Candleabracadabra (talk) 16:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would userfy the article for you... but I am not an admin and you need to contact them to do that, if they still can. Alot of your articles keep getting bounced back and I think the reason is that you are not following rules. The Sea Skiffs article read like an advertisement, just because the company exists and you have a source doesn't mean that the article can read like an ad. It has to be neutral and unbiased. I don't have a vendetta against you in the least, if you would like me to see your next article(s) feel free to post to my talk page. Goodluck and hopefully these articles start working for you :) Zzaffuto118 (talk) 18:32, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been userfied to User:Candleabracadabra/Cabriana Sea Skiffs for you to work on at your leisure.

The nominator for speedy deletion evidently felt that the statements in the article, focusing on aesthetics rather than notability of the company, was unduly promotional, regardless of the sourcing. I deleted the article because I agreed.

If you are associated with this company in any way, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for further guidance. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:16, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

deviled crab[edit]

I'm not sure what you're trying to say in the description of a deviled crab. It's a croquette with crab meat surrounded by breading. The breading is on the outside, the crab is filling up the middle. Am I missing something? Zeng8r (talk) 03:37, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You were missing the breading. You also removed a helpful photo that illustrated the cultural context of this simple and traditional Ybor City comfort food. Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:20, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The breading is already mentioned in the same opening description. Technically, it's not the filling; it's what being filled. Anyway, your latest edits to the article look good.

If you're referring to the photo of the Carmine's sign, I removed it because it was just a painting of a croquetta and prominently displayed the restaurant name. As a crab connoisseur myself, I enjoy their version but considered the photo to be overly promotional. So one day while eating lunch, I paused to get a shot of an intact crab and an opened one to replace the photo of the sign. It's a gray area, tho, so feel free to put it back if you feel strongly about it.

And, hey, since you're obviously a fellow aficionado of the finer things that Tampa has to offer, would you consider helping to expand the History of Tampa and/or History of Ybor City articles, especially the more recent history? I've done a LOT of work on those two over the past few years and would be happy to pass along the torch... Zeng8r (talk) 18:45, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since the breading of deviled crabs seems to be thick, I deemed it important to note that as a fundamental quality right up front. I'm also okay with saying what it is (crab croqutette) and then explaining the prep (as it is written now). That it is breaded and that it is deep fried seem to me to be critical distinguishing characteristics. I'm also not convinced that the stuffing is just crab or even mostly crab, and the way it was written seemed to give that impression.

As far as the photo of the signboard (as seen in this version http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deviled_crab&oldid=481280809) it includes the name as "devil crab", shows a partial street view from Ybor along with some architectural detailing, and depicts an advertisement of the product that employs quaint simplicity in a way that captures context and feel for me. These are not high falutin food items. This is a product sold by small independent merchants advertising their wares in an old fashioned traditional kind of way. I think that's relevant. I saw your comment on the talk page, but I didn't want to argue about it. :) Cheers. Good eating. And enjoy your weekend. Candleabracadabra (talk) 19:26, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. It would be nice to have an article on Taco Bus and other notable Tampa area institutions of eating. There seems to be quite a lack of coverage for topics I consider of substantial interest and notoriety (not to mention notability). Candleabracadabra (talk) 19:28, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Tampa Bay[edit]

I see that you've been busy around here! It's an extremely hectic time of the year for me right now, so I won't be around here much until June. In the meantime, when you create a new article about something or someone related to the Tampa area, please drop a {{TampaWikiproject}} tag on the talk page. That will automatically group it together with other local-flavored articles, making them easier to find. Also, feel free to join the Tampa Bay wikiproject if you want, although it's been so quite for so long that it doesn't mean much any more.

Pohoy[edit]

Just a heads up, I will be making extensive changes to the article Pohoy that you started. The web site and newspaper you cited as sources give a very limited view of the Pohoy. For instance, the Uzita and Moscoso chiefdoms may not have been contemporaneous with the Pohoy. Uzita and Moscoso are known only from contacts with the Narvaez and de Soto expeditions in the first half of the 16th century, while the Pohoy are known from the 17th and 18th centuries. In the early 17th century the Pohoy lived in an area on the south side of Tampa Bay that had been occupied by the Uzita in the 16th century. On another point, Luca, Guacozo, Vicela, and Tocaste were towns along the Withlacoochee River that the de Soto expedition passed through in 1539. It is not known what tribes or chiefdoms they belonged to. The attacks carried out by the Tocobaga and Pohoy in 1611 were not against Spanish settlements, but rather against Christianized Indians, probably Timucua, living along the lower Suwannee River.

I have John H. Hann's Indians of Central and South Florida 1513-1763 and Jerald Milanich's Florida's Indians from Ancient times to the Present at hand, and will be picking up Milanich's Florida Indians and the Invasion from Europe from the library tomorrow, and will use them to revise the article. I urge you to do more research on a subject before starting an article. This will help to establish the notability of the subject (i.e., coverage in multiple independent sources) and help in writing a decent article. -- Donald Albury 01:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I went with what I found the sources I could find. I'm glad you'll be fixing up and expanding the article. As you've noted, I don't know much about the subject. Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:17, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

re Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protection Program without the (ESLPP)[edit]

Hi,

I moved it because it turns out that a bunch of counties have an Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protection Program, but each pertains to that county only. Is there a way around this? Name it generally, and then list the specific ones in a separate article? What do you think? If you google it, you'll see there are many. Best wishes, MathewTownsend (talk) 00:42, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think they all have slightly different names. Definitely an article on the overarching subject would be interesting (Are they all funded the same way? Where was the first one? How do they differ from SWFWMD's funding model and objectives? Are there controversies over this approach? funding model? Who pays to maintain the preserves once established? Once the 30 years of sales tax is up (in the case of ESLPP, (haven't seen yet if others are set up the same)? Presumably voters will do another round of bond issuance? Does the funding model ever switch from acquisition to maintenance?). The size and scope of preserves established under these programs is very impressive. The one you started an article on in Sarasota County for example has set up very large and impressive preserves in the last 10-15 years. The ones in Hernando and Brevard seem to be named slightly differently and to use different acronyms. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And there's ELAPP - Hillsborough County I'm not usually good at disentangling this type of stuff! MathewTownsend (talk) 01:04, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

By design each county seems to use a different name. So I don't think there's anything really to untangle? Probably my ummm pointer at the top of the page you made isn't needed either.

Hydraulic fracturing article[edit]

Hi Candleabracadabra, that particular part of the article has been a bone of contention for a while now. There's hardly a department of geology in the world that doesn't get funding from the oil & gas industry, as noted in the earlier edit summary. However, thanks for the other improvements that you've made, it certainly reads better now. Mikenorton (talk) 16:11, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note Mike. I could see omitting that content, except that the bit immediately preceding it is from a PR person at the U saying something along the line of "the research isn't funded by the oil companies". If that's to be included then it seems only reasonable to me to note what funding the deparment receives from those same (disassociated) sources.

I also found the article a bit perplexing in mixing the natural phenomenon with the energy extraction technique. These seem like two different and quite differentiated subjects. At the very least, the energy extraction technique should get top billing as it is a bigger issue in contemporary times. For someone wanting to read about the extraction technique to find that the subject is relegated to second billing behind a natural phenomenon is a bit weird. Perhaps this has been discussed on the talk page? Anyway, I appreciate your courteous note and thank you for sharing your opinion. Candleabracadabra (talk) 23:06, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's an intense discussion going on about this on the talk page, so feel free to weigh in with your views. We really need a good source that says there is a conflict of interest. If the existing sources don't say so, it's not our job to fill in the gaps in my view.

As to the 'mixing', hydraulic fracturing is a natural phenomenon, the production technique just exploits the same physics - rock gets fractured by high-pressure fluids either way. You could argue for two separate articles, but I think that might be difficult to do. Mikenorton (talk) 23:15, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The idea that the natural phenomenon is synonymous to the drilling technique is wacky. That's like saying that a natural oil seep is the the same as drilling for oil with rigs. Or that airplanes are a form of bird because both fly. The differences are many and they are immense. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We'll have to disagree on that one. I learnt all about hydraulic fracturing decades (sadly it is that long ago) before I heard about its use in oil and gas production. Mikenorton (talk) 15:30, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Um, what? I don't mean to be a talk page lurker, but I noticed the recent addition of the warning above and couldn't help seeing what was going on.

From what I can tell, Candleabracadabra followed proper procedure in removing a "proposed for deletion" banner at Parker Milner after adding more info and references to the article, and I don't see any reverts at all. Now, I have no opinion on whether or not the goalie in question is notable enough for an article; that should be discussed on the article's talk page, which was blank when I checked a few minutes ago. But I do know that to accuse Candleabracadabra of engaging in edit warring here is ridiculous. So there's my two cents. Zeng8r (talk) 21:43, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed yes, anyone at all, even the person who wrote the article, can remove a Prod (except a BLP prod, without even needing to give a reason or to improve the article. The recourse if one thinks it unjustified is AfD, (which is where the article now appropriately is.). The warning messages are inappropriate. Candleabracadabra, you would be fully in order if you wish to remove them. DGG ( talk ) 22:14, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the warning is in relation to the Buddy Fletcher article. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:01, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Well, I"m not getting into that one, either. While it might have been warranted, a 3RR warning is less effective and more adversarial than a personal note. This essay is good to keep in mind. Let's all just get along :) Zeng8r (talk) 14:38, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hoax[edit]

If the claims in Caples Jefferson Architects are wrong, just what claims are wrong , and how do you know it? A claim of hoax and lying needs some support besides mere assertion. Which of the listings did you investigate and find false? (Indeed the hoax has already been disproved by the evidence that they did design at least some of the buildings). You need at this point to either specify or withdraw the comments. If what you say is right, and you can show it, you will have done the encyclopedia a service. DGG ( talk ) 22:14, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is getting a lot better. Several corrections have been made. As far as I can tell the firm did not design the Queens Theater in the Park. There was another building that they didn't design, but did an addition to. Several other projects were renovations or are yet to be built. It's nice that so many editors have helped fix the article and make it more accurate. The photo does not look real to me. I also think it fails the fair use test so I'm surprised it hasn't been removed. I considered removing everything that was unverified, but I didn't want to disrupt the AfD. As the article is getting fixed up I expect we can soon remove the hoax tag. If there is a better indication that an article contain misinformation I would have used that one. If you look at what the article was, I think it constitutes a dishonest depiction of the firm exaggerating their work and accomplishments. It looked like a piece of paid editing and was false advertising unsuitable for an encyclopedia. It's a lot better now and several editors have contributed to the effort. I would like to think I helped in unravelling what is real from what was claimed. Take care and have a great weekend. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:01, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As far as copyright is concerned, the new page is entirely fine. However, could you rework the referencing?

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article City Hotel (Sonora, California), please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please provide at least one source when creating an article. Eeekster (talk) 23:30, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of City Hotel (Reedsburg, Wisconsin)[edit]

A tag has been placed on City Hotel (Reedsburg, Wisconsin) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of 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. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Eeekster (talk) 01:47, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Musicals[edit]

Thanks for your nice note. If you plan to do more work on musicals, you might want to take a look at the WP:MUSICALS article structure page, which helps us to give a consistent look and feel to the articles about musicals. Plus, some good examples of articles in the area might be Her Majesty's Theatre (for a theatre) and Carousel (musical) for a musical. We generally try to follow the advice in WP:REDLINK, which says that if something urgently needs an article, then redlink it; otherwise, don't link it until you write an article on the topic. Personally, I generally try to focus on the musicals that were the most important ones in any period. That way, when someone sees a list of works by an author, or a list of works that were performed in a particular theatre, the blue-linked ones will be the most important ones, and that way we can help a reader to find the most interesting historical information. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:10, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That makes some sense, but a subject's most notable works should be noted in the article's text. If projects are notable they should be linked. If there aren't articles on them yet, that is easily remedied. Take care. Thanks again for you're well executed reorganiztion edits that dramatically improved the article on In Gay New York.

Proposed deletion of Cypress dome[edit]

The article Cypress dome has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A one-sentence article with no context

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —hike395 (talk) 16:55, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Hot Rod's BBQ & Grill[edit]

A tag has been placed on Hot Rod's BBQ & Grill, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article.

Dorignac's[edit]

Hi. Dorignac's! Ooops, I see you're still editing the article, so I'll keep away for a bit to avoid edit conflicts. We might add that they were fortunate not to flood in the Katrina levee failure disaster of 2005, and were hence an early reopener in the area [5] [6], as well as their well known wine & liquor selection. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 19:11, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Happy for the help. The first article I cited covered the beverage and Katrina issues a bit and noted increased beverage sales post-Katrina. Might also be worth noting th etwo remodels in the 1980s and more recently (the latest in part to sell more bevs). I think that's noted in that article as well.

More importantly, is crawfish pie a pot pie or does it need a separate article? What about crawfish Monica? I'm also planning to start an article on Bittersweet Plantation Dairy. As luck would have it I believe they sell creole cream cheese! They also seem to specialize in Bulgarian style yogurt, whatever that is... What is pickle meat? And what about olive salad?

American Indian Schools[edit]

Hi, Canderlabracadabra! I think we need to talk about the American Indian Schools.

You argue that the school had independent notability but I do not believe it has been demonstrated. Study the article American Indian Model Schools very carefully. All of the relevant information on all three schools is in this article. Any individual school article will merely duplicate the info. The administration and school culture is no different among any of the schools. The schools have insufficient differentiation.

Think about public high schools in a large school district, which have different histories, cultures, practices, and relationships.

In any case, I started the discussion at the schools WikiProject: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Schools#American_Indian_Model_Schools_-_Separate_articles_on_individual_schools

WhisperToMe (talk) 02:33, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

American Indian Charter School is exceptionally notable. It is one of the most studied and controversial charter schools in existence. The American Indian Model Schools charter school system you note grew out of it. Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:05, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Susan B. Anthony abortion dispute[edit]

Greetings, Candleabracadabra. The recent edits you made to the lead of the above-named article will almost certainly be quickly changed and/or challenged so I would suggest that you defend or prepare to defend them on the article's talk page. Providing edit summaries, particularly when making changes to politically sensitive articles, is always recommended. Regards. Badmintonhist (talk) 20:46, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did you have a question about my edits or the reasoning behind them? Why do you think I should prepare to defend them?

That article is a mess. At least the introduction is a little better now. Candleabracadabra (talk) 18:55, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I wasn't too thrilled with your changes. They seemed unnecessarily wordy. In any case, I pretty well knew that other editors would soon be changing them (as I would be if they didn't) but I wanted to hear your rationale for them first. As you see, a couple of other editors did change them. Badmintonhist (talk) 20:26, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's particularly unfortunate that the crux of Anthony's comments on the issue of abortion have been lost in the edits that followed mine. Context matters. I'm afraid the baby has been lost along with the bathwater. Candleabracadabra (talk) 16:31, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Florence, South Carolina (ACL Depot)[edit]

Okay. You did see [7] right? I always find their listing a bit muddled. Any clarification you have are most welcome. The building is real anyway. :) At least if seeing is believing... Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:16, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I saw the link to NRHP.com, and I know full-well that the building is real, partially because I took pictures of it. NRHP.com is usually not the most reliable source. There's a discussion of this over on WikiProject:NRHP right now, and if it's any consulation, I certainly appreciate the detail you've added to your article, that Florence (Amtrak station) doesn't have. ----DanTD (talk) 13:41, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Hiya. I notice you added some text and a reference to Willis R. Biggers and have added a few references to J. R. MacEachron, too. That's great but it would be even better if you used the {{cite web}} template instead of bare urls. That way, if a page moves, we at least have some basic information recorded that will help to find the new URL. The basic syntax is {{cite web | url=http://blah | title=The Page's Title | author=Name of the author, if relevant | publisher=Name of the website | accessdate=today's date}}.

Florida Women's Hall of Fame[edit]

Hi there. I just now noticed that the Florida Women's Hall of Fame was the original article you created, before you moved it to the Florida Commission....etc. Just wanted you to know I wasn't trying to over-ride anything you had done. My moving the page was to try and save it. The tag that was on there was threatening deletion for lack of notability. I think the way you had the article was fine with notability. But moving it back to naming it the Hall of the Fame does, I certainly hope, make it harder for someone to propose deletion. — Maile (talk) 01:17, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I understand and agree with you entirely. Take care and have a nice weekend. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Creole cream cheese[edit]

I've reverted your unexplained revert of my removal of spammed blog links in the External links section of addition of Creole cream cheese. I believe you know how to use edit summaries and that reverting anyone's edits requires some explanation. --Ronz (talk) 21:18, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You removed an external link to a recipe page covering how to prepare the article subject, including ingredients and instructions. The loss of a connection to this information has degraded the usefulness of the article. Please restore the link or find a suitable replacement. Thank you. Candleabracadabra (talk) 17:36, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:NOTRECIPE and Wikibooks Cookbook.

If you'd like to add a link to an appropriate recipe from Wikibooks Cookbook, it would be helpful. --Ronz (talk) 22:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't like the recipe pages I used you are free to choose a different link that you think is more appropriate. I don't think Wikicookbooks is any more valid than a New Orleans webpage covering the subject, but the main point is that the recipe be linked to so the article is most useful to readers. Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:58, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, we don't link recipes. I'm not sure what exception might apply in this case. If you're interested in starting a discussion at WT:EL, I'll be interested in seeing what others have to say.

Here is the last discussion I can find on the general issue. --Ronz (talk) 02:17, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for linking to the discussion. I read it and the consensus seems pretty clear that a recipe page can be a useful external link that helps readers understand a subject better, although decisions should be made on a case by case basis. I have not spammed any website and used what seems an appropriate source for information on the dish's recipe. As I've indicated, I don't have a major preference on what source is used, but I think a recipe page would be a useful link for that article.

Please Stop[edit]

Creating multiple short, poor articles and tagging them for someone else to improve is not a good way to help make Wikipedia better. Instead why not focus on one article and improve it yourself, then you would be making a proper contribution--Jac16888 ^Talk 22:18, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please cease interfering with my article creations in a destructive manner. If you don't like or respect my work, ignore it. I don't create articles on non-notable subjects and your deletions violate fundamental Wikipedia policies. The articles on Gonzalo Arango Arias and Fanny Buitrago were brand new. They will be improved over time. Please restore them and do not attack my work in the future. You are part of the problem of unconstructive, rude, and inconsiderate people on Wikipedia who lack courtesy and make the editing process here less enjoyable than it should be. Shape up! You should also consult the WP:Before and WP:notability pages, as well as the pillars of the community.Candleabracadabra (talk) 01:54, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's difficult to be destuctive when your articles are not themselves productive. Adding badly/incompletely translated articles and expecting somebody else to fix them is not collaboration it's making Wikipedia worse.--Jac16888 ^Talk 18:40, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stay away from me and my article contributions. Thank you. Candleabracadabra (talk) 00:34, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will continue to take any action I deem warranted against any contributions you make which are not an improvement to Wikipedia, if you have a problem with that then you can prevent it by improving the quality of your contributions--Jac16888 ^Talk 18:18, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Fanny Buitrago[edit]

The article Fanny Buitrago has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Please see Talk:Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting#Order_in_the_lead regarding the ordering of events in the lede, i.e., the shooting of the students then the killing of the mother is preferred because of the emphasis/focus. Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 23:15, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
