Hello, this is Marco DiBella (Juve10), just commenting on this listing for deletion for the page Francesco Nicastro. The player fits the proffessional athlete criteria, by having played for the senior squad in an official match. Not only did I watch the match in which Catania lost 1-0 to AS Roma, but I listed sources that prove his official debut. Look at the list of referances again, in case you missed it, but i would like to put in my bid for this page to remain. If it is not then so be it, but thank you, Marco DiBella Juve10 (talk) 03:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

You are absolutely right, Marco. I missed the little green triangle under his name. Again, I honestly apologize for confusing you. --

Emile Tarquet

Please consider UN-moving the page you moved. See the "talk" section for that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Emile_Taquet —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkbwik (talk • contribs) 12:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Further to above... Thank you for the message you sent. So perhaps the situation is that she was BORN Martens, but was Mrs Taquet by the time of the rescues? Thank you for the re-directs from "Emile Taquet" and "Marie Taquet"... that should address most of my concerns. Perhaps the entry at Vadyashem for Emile would shed light on the matter? If my "she was Mrs Taquet" quess is supported by what you find there, perhaps the title I used originally is the most appropriate? (If you agree, please make the revision, for reasons given earlier? A line in the article about her maiden name would cover the "Martens" aspect, yes?)

You are quite right... I now see!... that the first 2/3rds of "Marie_Emile_Taquet" introduces an additional confusion! But I had hoped that the edit of the text in the article made clear that it was about two people, Marie and Emile, whatever their last name(s) turn out to be!

When, in your personal message, you spoke of broken links, I hope that was the encyclopedia's links, not those in th article I started?

I've tried to research the location of the school/home, and whether it was for disabled kids and will be taking that line of research further... little found to date online, so I'm going to try writing to the town itself, see if anyone can share memories.

At... http://www1.yadvashem.org/heb_site/righteous/pdf/virtual_wall_of_honor/BELGIUM.pdf

(Search with Google for Emile Taquet, and do the html preview of that) we see...

Taquet, Emile & Marie (Mertens)

which would, I believe, be consistent with my guess, and is from the authority you seem to prefer.

Many thanks... for the re-rename, and for telling me what was wrong with the links. You'd get a good chuckle if you knew how many variations I went through before getting my ref links even close to what they needed to be. Apologies for not testing them properly... I was exhausted by the time I got them even LOOKING right, and can only offer that as my excuse for failing to test! Tkbwik (talk) 22:05, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Final discussion for Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Hello, I note that you have commented on the first phase of Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

As this RFC closes, there are two proposals being considered:

1. Proposal to Close This RfC
2. Alternate proposal to close this RFC: we don't need a whole new layer of bureaucracy

Your opinion on this is welcome. Okip 03:32, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Chris Agee

Hello Vejvančický, quite agree with you about Chris Agee. Victim of the deep-rooted spirit of philistinism at Wikipedia that thinks it's more creative to destroy knowledge rather than improve it. I give up most of the time, just occasionally I feel so annoyed I fight one of these pointless assassination attempts, but usually you either don't hear about them or you're up against people who think anything less fully authenticated than a perfectly crafted biography of a multiply-awarded pornstar deserves to be tossed into the bin of obscurity. Opbeith (talk) 20:59, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

i agree let's improve so it's a snowball keep Pohick2 (talk) 00:14, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello Antonin, I share your general sentiments exactly. I don't share your more emollient attitute towards the deleter in this case.

Antonin, Pohick2, I am happy to write up a section about the role Agee has played in making conteomporary Bosnian poetry accessible to a Western readership to challenge the stereotypes created by inadequately translated Bosnian literature that helped fuel the indifference of Western governments as Bosnia was being dismembered. Scar in the Stone is a significant volume. Opbeith (talk) 21:32, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Antonin, Pohick2, I hope I haven't upset the balance of the article with my addition of the section on Agee's Balkans/Bosnian-related activities. Please feel free to adjust it as you see fit. Opbeith (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Antonín, I couldn't see the article, but from what I understand it was a copyvio about a borderline-notable person, is that right?

Leos thrives in Sweden

Hello! Thanks so much for letting me know; a reward for our efforts - well, yours really, and mine just a bit. My sympathies on the matter of interminable disputes - I try hard to steer clear of them, partly because I usually kick off by booting my own size-ten foot into my mouth and have to waste even more time extricating it. Otherwise known as an own goal! But I still get drawn in from time to time. Ho hum.

I'm beginning to feel that argument based on belief (or its counteraction) can't be won, particularly when it has a perceived moral dimension; whether that's adversarial nationalism, the merit of one particular scholarly source versus another of differing ideology, or the insistence that perfectly servicable articles are somehow tainted by a hidden agenda and must be stripped to the bone. I invariably find each side persuasive because a misdirected sense of charity and modesty tells me I must, surely, be missing something. But most of the time, the Emperor really has no clothes. For what its worth, I entirely agree with your assessment of identity. I see it as pragmatic, tied more than anything to matters of self-description, passports and linguistics. One the one hand, a social construct; on the other, inherent to the object - so who's to say? Sincere good wishes. Haploidavey (talk) 13:33, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Well said! Yes, the world outside's a much crueler place than this one. Have a very good day, Antonin. I'm thankful for folks like you. Haploidavey (talk) 11:16, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Snø (Artist)

Please don't delete this page. It is for a new music artist who, although he hasn't produced any music to my knowledge, is in preparation of doing so. He is a new upcoming artist, but not necessarily a commercial one. From what I know, he isn't going to sell any of his music or make physical albums, but distribute them as free mp3s on well-known blogs and sites like 'Last.fm'. He is needing this Wikipedia Page so he can become known. He is similar to the artist 'Danger' in that he wants to be mysterious and secretive, but instead he wants a Wikipedia page. I am a dear friend of Snø, and I'm making this for him as a favour. I am unsure of this 'notability' you want me to add. I've added references from a friend's blog who is slowly going to leak info about Snø under his permission. Thats enough reference I think. Snø isn't yet noted for any albums or music just yet. All because he is an emerging music artist. Though on http://headbangersnmash.blogspot.com/2010/04/sn-artist.html it is mentioned that he is currently working on an album 'Submerged'. He isn't an official artist yet, just an experimental one.

Hey - I wasn't even finished checking! :) Thnx, though, for your quick help. You couldn't do something about the format, too, could you? Regards, --G-41614 (talk) 09:19, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, too late - I just found a possibility! And since I'm rather new to creating new articles: :))) Thank you anyway. Ok, what I wanted was the pictures to show in a column on the right, and not to overlap the references. And I consciously decided against a gallery. About like now. However, if you know a better way to fix this, well, it'd be utterly pointless to say feel free, considering where we are. What I'd be interested in would be info-boxes - on dead persons as well as an islands, assuming there is one for the latter. Know anything about it? --G-41614 (talk) 09:38, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I get that, but considering that whoever might wish a closer look always can click on them, I rather kept them smaller. But I don't claim to have a final answer. Thanks for the box, though. --G-41614 (talk) 09:53, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Sudhir Kanta Adhikary reference

You have mentioned that publicly showed official contact e mail or number of a government office is not reliable reference to verify some information under their domain.But in India, most of the time the reference may not be "clickable", and the only way to get the information officially is by directly contacting the respective government office Please mention what would be a "reference",when no website(and even if does,their reliability is questionable) hosts the list of freedom fighters pensioners of India(most commonly they show a few well known names) or a complete list of Tamrapatra awarded peoples. If an office of govt of India who have the record of the person under question can not be a reference to you,what is? (Providing that they are not going to publish all the record they hold publicly in the govt websites.)

Hello Vejvančický: A user changed the birth year of František Drdla from 1868 to 1869. Upon googling "Drdla 1969", it seems that there are quite a few hits for 1869, although there are more for "Drdla 1868". The Czech, Japanese, and Swedish Wikipedias state 1868, as does my reference on hand. Do you have a reliable source to reference the date in order to clear this matter up? Much appreciation.

Update on an article you recently prodded

I have moved

Glad you liked my addition to the Humoresques_(Dvořák)

I'm afraid it is a very familiar part of U. S. folk culture. I don't think anyone who grew up in the U. S. can hear this piece of music without thinking "Passengers will please refrain..." I was wondering why the article didn't mention anything about it, and now I understand!

Perhaps you can clarify something for me. I bought a CD collection entitled "Railroad Rhythms." It is a collection of classical music connected with railroads, e.g. Honegger's Pacific 231.

It includes Dvořák Humoresque #7 and I wondered whether this was a sly joke. The program notes, translated from an unspecified language, presumably German, say only that "the railroad fanatic Antonin Dvořák seems ... to create a feeling of delight at being able to reach the fresh air at a summer resort with the help of a train."

To Europeans, does the Humoresque #7 have any connection to trains or railroads, other than "Passengers will please refrain from flushing toilets while the train is standing in the station (I love you)..." Dpbsmith (talk) 22:40, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
