[edit] Typo in title
You might be interested in the "moving pages" feature. See WP:MM--all you have to do is click on the word "move" at the top of the article that needs moved. NickelShoe (Talk) 05:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Wikiprojects
An article being part of a Wikiproject does not make that article deletion-proof. There are notability guidelines for all articles that must be met, and whether an article is part of a Wikiproject or not is completely unrelated to these guidelines. -- Kicking222 22:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- In addition, you claim that all of these Emma Bunton songs are part of the Songs Wikiproject, but there is no evidence to support this claim. -- Kicking222 22:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- The point of the Songs Wikiproject is not to create articles for every song (nor is any project about making articles for everything related to that topic), but to expand upon articles on songs that are notable and create articles for notable songs that are yet to have their own pages. Please see Wikipedia:Notability (songs) for the current proposed guidelines on inclusion of songs. I am sure that you are only attempting to improve Wikipedia, and that is very admirable (heck, it's my goal, too), but WP must have some level of importance for something to have an article about it- otherwise, there would be articles on you, me, my dog, my dog's collar, and everything on Earth. I in no way mean to discourage you from editing; however, as I stated above, there are guidelines for what does and does not deserve an article, and being part of a Wikiproject does not confer notability. -- Kicking222 22:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- I appreciate your politeness, as well. Like I said, I have no doubt that you are a very positive contributor to Wikipedia, and I want you to continue to edit. There are a lot of ways people would like to change Wikipedia (I certainly have some ways I think it could be improved), but we must abide by consensus, and the consensus- with which I agree- is that not all songs are notable. Perhaps you could improve the Free Me article by citing some reliable sources, possibly in relation to reviews, criticism, and song meanings. I strongly believe in WP's goal of creating a free repository of knowledge on a larger scale than any encyclopedia before it, and I think everyone who edits WP appreciates every contributor who is willing to help out. -- Kicking222 22:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits
It's not really hassle, simply giving you some information on minor edits. Besides, talk pages are for messages, a little like e-mail, so if you don't want to read them, don't. I also love the 3rd person roundabout answers :P. (Let's see if you do better than 4 mins this time). Holomorph 19:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Care to elaborate on my recent behaviour? Holomorph 22:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Took you a while, eh P?
[edit] British English tag
Sorry no idea about Wikitionary - however I do know that the template used are seperate for the two projects. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 12:19, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Henri Lefevre
The claim that the subject is a "prominent French urban theorist" is not supported. Per WP:BIO, The article must meet the criterion "The person has been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person." Claims to this effect must be referenced. If references to support notability are not added, the page may be deleted. — Swpb talk contribs 04:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- As I said before, sources demonstrating the subject's notability must be added to the article. If sources are not added, the article will be deleted. — Swpb talk contribs 05:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject France
Hello! We are a group of editors working to improve the quality of France related articles. You look like someone who might be interested in joining us in the France WikiProject and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you in our project :-) STTW (talk) 17:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] sic
I'd put that because the 'a' symbol is not correct in my transcriptions and I was hoping someone would fix that for me. Zigzig20s 00:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- If you mean that you were not able to write the symbol you wished, perhaps I can help you. But have you taken a look at the article vowel, and the links in it (click on the symbols in the vowel chart)? FilipeS 00:48, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ethan Green
Unpublished emails are not a reliable source. Otto4711 01:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hay wain
If you feel strongly about it, take it to afd, but I don't think it's a candidate for *speedy* deletion. NawlinWiki 17:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stub sorting
Hello Zigzig20s,
I noticed you marked an article as a stub using the {{stub}} template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the Wikipedia community because it helps various WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.
You can view the full list of stub types at WP:STUBS.
If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! — jmorgan (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Geri Halliwell songs
Hi, Zigzig. I see that you are tagging a lot of articles created by yourself some months ago as non-notable. Firstly, is this correct? You do wish to delete them? Secondly, if so, it may be better to place the {{subst:prod|Reason to be deleted}} tag on them instead, as speedy doesn't really strictly cover these articles. If the ProD is not contested within 5 days, it will be deleted anyhow. Let me know what you want to do. Bubba hotep 13:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Feel Me Now
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Feel Me Now, 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). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Guylikeu 13:33, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Zigzag! I stumbled across the Mel B pages cos I was listening to the album, and looked up the album here as I often do. Usually album tracks do not get their own pages, hence why I tagged them. I replied to your suggestions on the deletion page you linked me to :) Guylikeu 23:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Yenta
Read the instructions When a prod is removed, it should not be replaced. If you feel strongly about Yenta being removed from wikipedia, take it for AfD. 172.165.195.178 16:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
