[edit] Classic Rock
Hello. I was wondering if you would like to participate in my classic rock survey. I'm trying to find the most like classic rock song. There is more information on my user page. Hope you participate! RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 03:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Favorite Songs
My survey has changed. I am now continuing my mission for the best songs, but now I am accepting all genres. I'm giving you a chance to revote for your top ten favorite songs of any genres (not just classic rock which is still the best). I've made a executive decision to keep the existing survey results and just add on to that with the new entries. My feeling for doing this is because classic rock is the most influential genre in music currently so it should be expressed more in the survey. Thank you for contributing in the past, and hopefully in the future. ROCK ON. RENTASTRAWBERRY FOR LET? röck 03:28, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] American Eagle Motorcycles
Thank you for your critique of a stub page, American Eagle Manufacturing Company, Inc., that I posted only minutes before you slapped an NPOV on it. As it happened, I was in the middle of collecting information for the page when you first flagged the article for speedy deletion as {{db-spam}}, and then revised your comment to NPOV.
I agree with you that “[i]t needs a rewrite,” since it is only a stub, and labeled as such, but I'm not sure why you think it has any "point of view" at all.
- Is it not really a company?
- Does the company not really make motorcycles?
- Is the company not really located in Carlsbad, CA?
As far as I can tell, I was merely "stating the facts". If you disagree, I'd like to know why.
If what you meant to say was that it is not a "significant" article, then I must ask:
- Is it not linked to by other wikipages?
(Hint: I only created this page because I saw an empty link from both Evel Knievel and List of motorcycle manufacturers, which is how I created the page.)
I am leaving your NPOV on the article for a day or two, to give you a chance to reply, and I hope that in that time you will either come up with a more coherent response or decide to remove the label yourself.

- Thank you for your prompt and courteous reply to my comments, and for your attention to the changing of the template from {{NPOV}} to {{advert}}. For my part, I also have tried to address your comments promptly and appropriately.
- Further investigation revealed that, in fact, the American Eagle motorcycle that Evel Knievel used to jump thirty-five years ago was not, in fact, the same American Eagle as is manufactured today, as that company is only a dozen years old. It seems that several motorcycles have carried the same name over the years, and I have reflected that fact in my latest changes to the article.
- I hope, too, that my changes to the article's structure will encourage you to remove the advert label.
- Thanks --Eliyahu S Talk 15:57, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Zentri
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Zentri, 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. ✤ JonHarder talk 00:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
