Little context in Category:Demopolis, Alabama

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Demopolis, Alabama, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Demopolis, Alabama is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Demopolis, Alabama, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 20:00, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

FYI, decision was to keep. Altairisfartalk 20:18, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Vine and Olive Colony

You're welcome. Thank you for writing it! I enjoyed reading it, and learning a fascinating bit of history of my home state. =) Aleta (talk) 02:13, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Herbie Redmond

I would like to ask you to take another look at the Herbie Redmond that you rated as a stub today. While it may not be perfect, it truly surpised me to see it rated a stub. It may not be that relevant to the Alabama Wiki Project,as he gained his fame in Detroit, but that would only affect the importance rating and should not result in it being considered a stub. Anyway, if you wouldn't mind taking another look and reconsidering, I'd appreciate it.Cbl62 (talk) 03:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

On taking a second look, I think all of the material is relevant and fairly well written, so it is better than just a stub. I'll go back and rate it as start class, but some inline citations and subheadings to what you already have there would improve the article a great deal. Altairisfartalk 03:46, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, and I agree the article needs some work.Cbl62 (talk) 04:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Covered Bridges

Thank you for your interest in my articles on Alabama's Covered Bridges. I'm new at this User talk discussion forum, so please bear with me if I am not doing things properly. Hopefully, I can get some more information on the former bridges when I return to Alabama next October. My trip was short lived this year. If you need any more information on covered bridges in the Southeastern United States, please let me know and I will help out as much as I can. Once again, thanks.

Thanks! Glad to help! - MPF (talk) 21:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Govt Street Presbyterian

Nice development of the Government Street Presbyterian Church article, and thanks for adding the new pic's thumbnail to List of National Historic Landmarks in Alabama, too. Cheers, doncram (talk) 17:17, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for starting the article! I've been attempting to locate some additional info that is reliable to expand it further, but thus far no luck on that. It may require a trip to the Mobile Public Library or Municipal Archives but I'd like it to include some detailed info. Altairisfartalk 23:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitation

Altairisfar ... Thanks for the invitation to join the Alabama Project. I'll assist as best as I can. Rlm0710 (talk) 20:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)


Speedy deletion of ST Mobile Aerospace Engineering

A tag has been placed on ST Mobile Aerospace Engineering 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 a company or corporation, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 companies and corporations.

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 (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. SaveThePoint (talk) 01:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, I contest and have placed a holdon tag. This company is quite notable, it is the largest employer in a county with a population of over 400,000 people. I think you were a little wikilawyer quick with placing the tag anyway. Altairisfartalk 02:15, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
FYI- Deletion tag was removed upon inspection. Altairisfartalk 03:13, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
