Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Plastik Funk, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Everybody Dance Now and Shaggy. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You undid my edit of the Now Summer 2008 (Australian series) article to stop a vandal - recent incarnation 121.217.197.176. I know nothing of this article, so I appreciate your insight. Be aware though, that this would be a rare "constructive" contribution, maybe the first, so please make certain it is constructive. Thanks.

Kennedy had been added as producer in a series of edits by YeahYeahYeah19, who didn't cite a source for this information. It looks likely that the edits you reverted were corrections; I can see no evidence that they were vandalism. Peter James (talk) 19:43, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
Seriously? Deleting all this stuff just because you felt like to? And your reasons - 'because it isn't cited elsewhere'. I went on Wikipedia page especially to check this, but ONE person decided it's not right. Unless there are indeed other people who support you. I don't feel like playing 'reversing war', cause it makes no sense. I can see on your user talk that you're a quite controversial person. I am sure there are quite reliable sources of Brutal Assault history - and it's a thing that should stay on the page. But yeah, I guess it's easier to delete all of this and annoy X people instead of doing some actual job. Also, why won't you delete e.g. Masters of Rock history? Wacken Open Air? It doesn't have sources either. Do it or reverse Brutal Assault changes, if you're not a hypocrite.

Thanks for withdrawing the request for deletion on Jaap Reesema. I didn't want to mention this on the Jaap Reesema page but I can mention it to you in all transparency. Creating articles and also saving of articles from deletion is a special kick of adrenaline and intense satisfaction for an editor like me. It also gives this odd sense of pride of having launched an article, or saved an article from actually disintegrating in front of your eyes... For me, when you find an individual artist that you actually discover out of the blue and develop a liking to him, this guy Jaap Reesema as a case, you listen to his songs and watch his videos and see all the effort he has put it and all the goodness he is trying in his little way to spread around as far as he can, then you realize that there are hundreds of millions of people in the world who could have passed the same experience but none bothered to spend a few minutes and write an article about him or her, out of apathy or whatever, then you feel you are the single individual of those 6 billion population who cared enough and gave some time to a deserving little known artist. It truly becomes your baby for your own satisfaction... as the guy barely famous in his little odd country gets an international platform now with Wikipedia. That's why I hardly bother with big artists everybody is writing about, don't even read their pages, I just stick to the small guys I got to know. So when confronted by a deletion request, you are suddenly let down and realize your efforts, despite all, are on the wake of being wasted and now that guy you came to appreciate will go to oblivion yet again, then, your adrenaline shot works in you to give yet more time and effort to save it once more as you fervently search for more references and discover more things about the guy in process. That's why I joined Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron and that's also why I rarely partake in launching deletion requests myself unless the article is so grotesque it isn't worthy at all or its just vandalism or a practical joke... But my rule of thumb is, regardless of how bad an article is, check the videos, even if it is in a language you know nothing about, even if you cannot even pronounce the name of the artist, find the lyrics, put them in a translation machine, check the meanings, join in as much as you can and learn a few words in that language, check the literature, try to know more about the guy, try to discover, and if you like him or her, and you like what he has done, the article does reserve an effort to improve rather than delete. Don't get me wrong, I don't get pissed off by colleagues who ask for deletions, they are trying to do well in their own way, as deletion requests sometimes kickstart a worthwhile process of improving an article, but if I can improve without having to delete, so much the better... In any way, thanks for your efforts. In that spirit, here are a couple of Jaap Reesema songs "Mijn Wereld Op Z'n Kop" "Ooit Komt Nooit Meer" and his number 1 cover "Don't Stop Believin'" plus a song I dedicate to everyone I correspond to - my slogan and the spirit I edit in: "I Wish For You The World" thus my name werldwayd werldwayd (talk) 21:33, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
The article Jeanne Sauvé Catholic School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 180.172.239.231 (talk) 09:35, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

I am quite concerned about your afd nominations as unsourced, when sources are very easy to find. This is putting the burden on other people, and adding needlessly to the number of articles that need to be considered in a complex process. At least a superficial check for references is part of WP:Deletion Policy. WP:BEFORE is not absolutely required (unfortunately), but nominations such as some of yours will make a good case for requiring it the next time I make that proposal. The acceptable error rate depends if you;re working in a debatable area--I tend to nominate borderline cases to get a decision, so my rate of success is only about 90%, but for straightforward articles it should be higher.
I'm also puzzled by some of your speedy nominations: while G11 can be a matter of judgement, A7 is defeated by any good faith indication of importance. Writing a book, other than a self published book, for example--anything that someone in good faith could think suitable for an encyclopedia. The practical error rate goal at CSD is usually given as 5%, and anything over 10% is an indication of misunderstanding the process.
Perhaps if you're really trying for deletions you could consider being somewhat more selective. There is quite enough junk that we really do need to get rid of, especially from the earlier years (My personal guess is about a quarter million articles) . But perhaps you're using it to force improvements (your user page seems to indicate this); this is indeed sometimes necessary--I've done it myself when it seemed there was no other practical way. But usually it's overkill in terms of procedure. Listing with a wikiproject can deal with most of them. It takes time and people to discuss afds carefully, and listing there unnecessarily hinders the proper discussion of those that do need to be discussed. DGG ( talk ) 00:28, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Do you have an actual reliable source for the assertion that her cover of "All About That Bass" actually qualifies as a "hit" on any chart that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC? I'd be happy to restore the version which I deleted in 2011 if a proper source could be provided for its hit status — but the song's article doesn't mention her name at all, and Google isn't exactly offering up any properly sourced evidence that the song actually made it onto an IFPI-certified national pop chart either (the only place I'm seeing that claim turn up so far is a non-notable music marketing blog), so what it would take in this case is a reliable source which confirms that the claim of passing NMUSIC is actually true.

What were you trying to do with Udhampur railway station by placing CSD G6?. Night Fury (talk) 06:18, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
@RHaworth: I thought that it could be moved directly by the "move option" at the top of the page but that leaves redirect without being deleted. By that method I was unable to move the page because it required permission from admin. because the software showed that there was another article by the same name. What Launchballer has done is more appropriate. I have now done the same think to Qazigund Railway Station. Thanks admin for your help. I am trying to learn things from you. .....
Thanks. Night Fury (talk) 01:17, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Yes, this is a mess, but ... its deletion under proposed deletion may be controversial; we could be accused of covering up his crimes. Please go to WP:AfD instead. Bearian (talk) 17:05, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Launchballer:
Thanks for all of your contributions to improve Wikipedia, and have a happy and enjoyable Halloween!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marvin and Tamara, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dave. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Launchballer/archive/2015. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using ((db-g12|url=URL of source)). If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with ((subst:copyvio|url=URL of source)).
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Thank you, inclusionist, for quality articles around songs and performers, such as The Voice UK discography and Sam Bailey, for starting articles and polishing them, for images such as "chucking a can of paint at a rosebush", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!
