[edit] STOP

Please stop blanking your talk page those warnings show other users that you have been warned and helps them take actionAFUSCO 02:21, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

whoever "Elenseel" is (you don't allow emails and you don't have any info about yourself). since you don't identify yourself and cannot accept emails, why should i listen to you in particular? in any case, regardless of your personal interests, i will pursue formal permission to use relevant text from Caroline H Thompson. it should be obvious that i'm trying to honor her memory - not defame her in any way. i'm sure that i will obtain permission from the relevant personnel but it will be too late - ignorant people like you will have deleted the article before i can do that. enjoy your little sandbox because that's all it is - with your attitude. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by &Delta (talk • contribs) 21:30, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caroline h thompson

I see you assert that this information is public domain, but an autobiographical website would not be public domain, unless specifically mentioned. Copyvio is enough for a 'speedy' deletion. There are also other issues that you may want to consider. The article needs reliable 3rd party sources that backup the notability of the subject. The article should use minimal quotes as well. I know that you would like to pay homage to this person, but please take the time to read WP:NOT as it may answer a few questions that you may have. Thanks! the_undertow talk 05:57, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Notability of Caroline h thompson

A tag has been placed on Caroline h thompson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. WebHamster 01:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] two types of editors

It would seem there are two types of editors (in my varied experiences with Wikipedia): open-minded and willing to help - and - closed-minded and ready to dismiss. Examples of both can be found above. The Five Pillars and Manual of Style are especially helpful to new contributors, but the latter is burdensome because of comprehensiveness. I find the many articles especially helpful in my research and understanding (my areas are physics and AI, but I have many interests). Occasionally, I will discover a minor problem in an article and attempt to correct it, but sometimes encounter the negative-type editor. This becomes tedious and boring. I am vehemently against engaging in an edit war because it's a waste of my time and energy. But, if something is important and I see a clear mistake, I will defend my right to correct an "established editor" and "put them in their place" civilly and respectfully. I think there is one critical error on the part of Wikipedia staff: if an editor is expert in one area, this does not make them expert in all areas. "Established editors" (those that are trusted and highly regarded within Wikipedia) DO make occasional mistakes in speedy deletions and "automatic" rejections of minor edits. I have experienced this several times. And it would seem Wikipedia has become a "good ol' boy" club: many feel important and "puffed up" similar to how academics frequently feel superior to others.. But it's all posturing and vain ego-defense in my opinion - which is really based on insecurity. Again - boring boring boring. My interests, with regard to Wikipedia, are to provide a high-quality resource for people of all ages and cultural backgrounds in line with The Five Pillars, make meaningful connections with other Wikipedians, and push the frontiers of human knowledge/understanding - by stimulating interest with the younger folk (I'm a high school science teacher at present). So, if we can create a resource that is useful to my students, I would be proud to participate! (So please go easy on your automatic/speedy deletions of my contributions!) sam micheal&Delta (talk) 02:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
