Please feel free to discuss anything related to the project at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Houston and add/update the collaboration items at Wikipedia:WikiProject Houston. Also, please add the project banner/article assessment template for every new project-related article you create. The templates are found here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Houston/Resources. Thanks again, Postoak 03:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Music
What about other music "scenes" in this city? Rock, county, gospel..there are others. Why only mention hip-hop? Postoak 03:31, 3 February 2007 (UTC) I don't know. The Houston Hip Hop scene is the one I consistently read about in music and news publications. The New Yorker article cited compares it to Seattle in the early 90's. If there could be a general statement about Houston's music or live music scene, it would be more more appropriate in that article. Deatonjr 04:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

- Can you help with the Houston, Texas by expanding the hip-hop paragraph you added to include other genre's? See the objection by KP Botany on the FAC page. Postoak 01:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- I think ZZTop should be mentioned? What about Houston Noise Bands? What do you think? Postoak 06:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
- Of all Houston artists, ZZ Top and Beyonce are the first that come to my mind. I think Houston Noise Bands could be integrated into the article, but not on the main Houston page. I'd save it for the culture article.

[edit] Mark Bellinghaus
I'm glad you approve and have enjoyed. It would be good if you could watchlist it to check over new edits. You can find more of my contributions here. Tyrenius 05:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
It should be watchlisted now that I've done a couple of edits. The references needed some work. I'm still not too good at properly formatting everything. Deatonjr 05:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Government and politics in Houston
We should move some of Politics of Houston (maybe mayor and city council) back into the main article and reduce the crime paragraphs...or put the crime stuff in a subsection. Very little is sourced in Politics of Houston. What do you think? Postoak 21:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- Yes, the crime statistics and specifically the Katrina related crime may be relevant to demographics, but not for the main article. It is more of a current event from over a year ago. Deatonjr 21:50, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jim McInvale
It's a reasonable mistake to misspell this guy's name, so I've redirected this title to the existing article. - Mgm|(talk) 10:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh thanks, good idea. I even did some google searches before creating the article and there are many pages that also misspell his name. Deatonjr 10:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mark Bellinghaus (again)
If there's anything wrong with the ref formatting, it's probably the result of several editors having added them, so do correct if you see fit. I've just checked the article edit history. Thanks for conscientiously watching over it. I've had a look at some of your other contributions, including an interesting translation from a German featured article, and think it's time your work was recognised, so I'm awarding you a barnstar (alliteration accidental!). Tyrenius 04:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

The Original Barnstar | |
| For consistently conscientious contributions. Tyrenius 04:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC) |
- Added comment re Neaira to DYK. Some of the article is not quite fluent English, but very readable throughout nevertheless. Tyrenius 06:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] DYK

On 15 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Neaira (hetaera), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] Buchstabentafel
[edit] Ohmstede Limited
A tag has been placed on Ohmstede Limited, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Sarc37 18:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Climate of Beaumont, Texas
Hi, I was wondering if you were planning to do anything more with this page as at the moment it is a direct copy from the section on climate at Beaumont, Texas. To split it off seems a little premature.Madmedea 13:36, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quanell X
I apologize for my confusion, I got reversed after seeing several items like this [1] and was trying to clear things up and I guess I missed one. When I saw the anon IP correcting [2], I hit the "undo" button after getting confused thinking they had re-added the ebonics-speak instead of catching a repair I had missed. It happens, I'm under a bit of stress studying. Thanks for correcting me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixthepedia (talk • contribs) 21:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding, I've been trying to do cleanup and get this up to date with the recent happenings but it's difficult when you get some of the random IPs coming in doing bad things. I saw an IP, saw some ebonics-speak in the difference, and my brain kicked in and said "it's the same guy coming back with ebonics again." It didn't occur that I might have accidentally reverted the ebonics along with a bunch of other things when I was trying to do cleanup. I'm still new to a lot of this wiki stuff and learning.
Would you maybe be able to give some help on the Johnny Sutton article as well? There's an editor there named Brimba who's not looking very carefully at things and was part of a group edit warring with another anon IP, and now the page is locked down completely to a very stripped down version. An outside perspective might get Brimba to stop and look more closely, he seems to be assuming this other IP is actually me and that's not the case. If nothing else you could help me find where more sources are needed or where mistakes are being made if you have the time please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixthepedia (talk • contribs) 21:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
The videos are important because while Quanell is claiming there was pushing and shoving, the videos don't show any, and the news reports based only on Quanell's word aren't reliable then. I agree it'd be nice to keep the size of the Joe Horn part down, which is why I have been trying to watch and remove people who are just inserting their opinions when I can. I hope I got the sections set up right for the rest of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fixthepedia (talk • contribs) 21:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Could you review my proposed changes to the Quanell X article? I believe as it stands it has a POV that is non-neutral, and has inflammatory unreliably sourced statements, particularly about his childhood. Xdeserted (talk) 06:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James R. Cargill
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of James R. Cargill, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.forbes.com/lists/2005/54/L9MI.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of James R. Cargill
A tag has been placed on James R. Cargill 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 person or group of people, 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 biographies.
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. Wisdom89 (talk) 08:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Richard Rogers Bowker
A tag has been placed on Richard Rogers Bowker requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

[edit] Western Refining
The article was essentially a cut and paste of website material, (an "our") was actually left in), but I restored and removed the worst of the cv and some spamminess- no refs now though. Jimfbleak (talk) 06:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Temporarily userfy List of current and former Forbes 400 members?
Het Djr - since we are kind of stalled, and only at the "C"s, and I think you are the only one with a copy of the book, what do you think about bringng the page over to a subpage of your user page, so you can work on it at your leisure? I tried the work-in-progress tag, and it got removed. UnitedStatesian (talk) 00:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
I moved it to a subpage User:Deatonjr/Forbes400 Deatonjr (talk) 04:56, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Great, I am also going to redirect the main page there. I also temporarily nowiki-ed the cat on your user subpage. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
