Salah Edin

Salah Edin has been mentioned in the wikipedia article Fitna (film). I know notability is not inherited, but does this address your concern about notability? Thanks, Andjam (talk) 12:39, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, so I removed my tag. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 02:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, and only 2 years after I joined! Thanks, I think... better late than never! Ironically, this belated welcome arrived at the exact moment I made my 500th edit. Ain't life funny? Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:33, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tom T

Hey! I wrote the root article about the greatly-missed Tom T. Thanks for your clean-up of my lead. It is better. Mark Sublette (talk) 06:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Mark SubletteMark Sublette (talk) 06:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I was just playing with the random article feature, and I stumbled across the article. It was nice to be able to help, but there wasn't much to do! You had already written such a good article. I had never heard of Tom Terrell before. It was really neat to learn about him. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 07:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that if you link onto NPR's website (but have not actually checked it out) that some of Tom's reviews are available online. Guess I ought to, huh? I have always appreciated the nature of the collaborative effort of the Wikipedia, and although I consider myself to be an expert wordsmith, it is ALWAYS good to have someone else review your copy. As they tell writers, never proof your own stuff. You have a tendency to overlook the same things again. I was lucky enough to be in the D.C. area from the early '80s, and regularly heard Tom on WHFS. Went to his funeral, as well. His Mom is a lovely, educated, woman! Where R U at?

I live in Washington State, in Thurston County. It is neat that you got to meet his family, though it sounds like the circumstances weren't the best. Thanks again for the kudos! Have a nice night! Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 07:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CSD tagging

Hello Phoenix. If you nominate the article for speedy deletion, don't forget to notify the creator. The correct template you can find at the bottom of the nomination. Check

Template

In regards to this

Sky Attacker 09:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

When you use a db tag like {{db-bio}}, or in this case {{db-person}}, after the page is saved, if you look at the speedy deletion template you made on the article, it has a bit of code in small print near the bottom that looks something like: " Please consider placing the template:{{subst:nn-warn|Template:Db-person|header=1}} ~~~~ on the talk page of the author. " It changes automatically based on the page in question and the template being used, which is pretty cool. I just copied that code onto User talk:Who gives its ya mum, and it produced the comment. I think a generic version of the template is {{subst:nn-warn|Article}}. A similar, more-welcoming is {{subst:Firstarticle}}. Hope this helps!

It does help. Thanks.--

Yay! Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Indigo Montoya....

You killed my father, now you die...On CSd's they must claim notability to pass. Notice I say only claim, in the case of the Isreali hotel, this is an ad article and could've been tagged as the only signifacance they imply is a trademark.

Touché! You got me! I had a feeling that it could have been CSDed, but I was editing late at night, and was too sleepy to remember things like {{db-inc}}. Glad to see another The Princess Bride fan on here! Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 19:16, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]


My name is Rick Toh....

The article "Blowing Wings" was a education portfolio I submitted previously that won an award in my organisation (a statutory board). Will that suffice in credibility? Ricktoh (talk) 10:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Rick,
First of all, congratulations on having your portfolio win the award in your organization. You clearly put a lot of hard work into it. That being said, I have several concerns about whether
generally discouraged
.
Please don't take offense about this; your work seems very important, but at the moment, given these concerns, I am not convinced that it is appropriate for Wikipedia. That being said, if, after you have read the policies I mentioned above, you still disagree with my proposed deletion, you can always remove the proposed deletion tag from the top of the article; if you do not remove the tag, the page will likely be automatically deleted once the time period expires. If you choose to remove the tag, I may list this page for discussion at
Articles For Deletion
so that other editors can weigh in; maybe I am wrong about this article, and it does belong.
Best wishes either way. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 09:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV edit on Shooter movie

Dude, regarding the edit to "Shooter" (movie), if you want to change the comment to be more neutral, feel free. However, the "military advisor's" statement is 100% pure and utter bullshit. To cite but one "reference", David Drake (sci-fi author) was an intelligence officer in Vietnam, and in the afterword to one of his novels, he discusses interrogating a Vietnamese girl who was shot by a .50BMG round. Her limbs were not scattered 200 yards away, she lived for enough time after being shot to have a conversation with him. The hydrostatic shock did considerable internal damage, but hardly peeled her apart like a banana, nor dismembered her.

I realize that the statement in the article is (presumably) a direct quote from the so-called advisor, but the best you can say about his statement is that it is "dramatic." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.195.136 (talk) 04:16, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it sounds like you know more about this than I do. Calling something "nonsense" in an article comes across pretty
original research. Alternatively, you could bring up your concerns on the article's talk page and discuss it with the other editors. Sorry if it felt like I stepped on your toes. Best wishes and happy editing! Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 04:31, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply
