Why did you delete a whole section without any explanation?

First of all, I didn't delete a whole section. Second, I figured it would be uncontroversial since the information removed was either incredibly trite or not cited. I have made my edits again (including moving one line which may be of some interest to a section where it makes sense) with an explanation. Please sign your posts in the future. zellin t / c 06:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Empty Articles

Please don't create empty articles, which only contain a category. Such articles are a bad thing - they hide the fact that an article still needs to be written, and are thus speedy deletion candidates. If you want to have the complete list of articles for a category which are not yet written, simply edit the category and add a to-do list there. andy 20:34, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Papa John's Pizza

Thanks for your edits to this article... I agree with them. However, they were marked as "minor". Usually "minor" is applied to spelling corrections or minor formatting changes. Removing a clause in the content isn't generally considered to be minor. Just wanted to give a little constructive feedback. Thanks! — Stevie is the man! ^{Talk | Work} 02:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

VfD Nomination

Just so you know, you can withdraw your nomination on VfD, and as far as I know, it becomes an automatic "Keep". That's not saying someone else won't nominate it next, though. --Unfocused 14:43, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Zellin, thanks for the info. I appreciate your help! Could you show me how to make a tag? Thanks!

Do I know you?

So...? :) Your user page says you go to North Canyon and are in IB. I just graduated last year! I couldn't think of any "Zellin"s I knew there, but if you know me, you'll definitely recognize me from my user name and short bio. I was quite shocked when I saw "North Canyon" written on your user page, I mean, what a small world! Dmcdevit·t 04:40, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

No, sorry... zellin 20:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Phoenix - Stockton

I don't see any press releases announcing a Phoenix Coyotes <-> Stockton Thunder affiliation. Do you have a reference? ccwaters 13:00, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Just checking. You would think the ECHL and Thunder would have announcements about it. ccwaters 22:47, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

re: Stockton Thunder - I just saw an anon deleting content without explanation or edit summary. Had no chhoice but to assume vandalism. I have restored your edit. ≈ jossi fresco ≈ 22:46, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Vanity

If I was certain the page was vanity, I would have nominated it for deletion, however PotentialVanity is a subset of Cleanup and is more specific. Basically I applied it because the page's problem was that it appeared somewhat like a vanity page, and that is the specific problem that needs correction. Paul 20:28, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm saying that this one needed cleaning up because it looked somewhat like a vanity page. Paul 20:45, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for an honest opinion

I'm working on the article motorized bicycle. I created a timeline. It is nominated for deletions. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion of the subject either at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of Motorized bicycle history or on my user talk page. Thank you. (p.s.: love the some of your categories, I stole you idea and put some on my user page. --CyclePat 02:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

== Baseball on Wikicit ies ==

Hello Zelin, Googie Man here and I want to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan on Wikipedian. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man^(Talk), 21:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

NFL Europe alumni

Thanks for adding the NFL Europe alumni category - that sure brings back a lot of good memories.

--85.210.38.191 16:47, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I have two comments about the NFL Europe alumni cat.
- First, we already have a similar cat at Category:NFL Europe players.
- Secondly, as we have been doing with the NFL and AFL player cats, I've been trying to clear out the broad NFL Europe cat and put players in individual team cats (Category:Berlin Thunder players, Category:Rhein Fire players, etc.). I appreciate the initiative, and if you'd like to help out, please think of joining WikiProject NFL. But I've brought your action up at the talk page, and I'm going to suggest deleting the category, since it goes against what we were aiming for in the first place. Please don't take my comments as harsh criticism; you didn't know what we were doing at WP:NFL. I do sincerely hope you join us, we have lots of work to do and it makes it easier with everyone who joins. Anthony 20:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Babe Ruth

I'm posting this message on you Talk Page either because you've contributed to the article Babe Ruth, or because you've edited other baseball or sports related articles. I've recently completed a revision of this article at Babe Ruth/rewrite. If you have the time, I'd appreciated it if you'd compare the articles and leave any feedback you might have on the rewrite discussion page. I'd like to reach a consensus before makeing major changes to the main article. Thanks for your help. --djrobgordon 20:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boris Diaw-Riffiod

Hello,

I allowed myself to revert your move of this article. Boris Diaw-Riffiod is famous in the States under the name Boris Diaw, but before that, when he was in France, he was known as Boris Diaw-Riffiod. Furthermore, it's his real name, so I think it's better to name this article using the full name. I hope it's fine with you. Poppypetty 01:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I took the freedom of editing your user page to include the category [[Category:International baccalaureate wikipedians|yourname]] as I noticed you linked to it on your user page. I hope you don't mind :) O bli (Talk) 20:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arrested Development

Thanks for your help on the episode pages we've made so far. I agree that a WikiProject would be ideal for what we want to do, but it seems a little confusing. I was able to make templates by copying The Simpsons's really awesome formatting, but I'm still a little confused as to what needs to be done to make the whole thing into a WikiProject. Also, are the current articles at a more acceptable length? The plot intricacy and the referential nature of the jokes make it fairly complex to deconstruct.--Vcalzone 17:57, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Sports Wiki/Community

I noticed you were a Diamondbacks Fan. My friends and I started a sports wiki/community that you may be interested in.

Fair use on user pages

Hi Zellin, I just wanted to let you know that the use of fair use images on user pages is prohibited by Wikipedia policy. It would be great if you could remove all such images from your page, i.e. the tv show logos. Christopher Parham (talk) 07:35, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Candace Parker

Zellin, I made a note in the talk section there stating that the use of just the word "reported" was confusing and to please clarify the meaning. Not because I'm a CP fan, but because it read like vandalism, not like the point you were actually trying to make. aww 13:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Deletion

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Annual Agawam Invitational Tennis Tournament, 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 article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Annual Agawam Invitational Tennis Tournament. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fair-use images removed from your user page

Hello, Zellin. I've removed some images from User:Zellin/Userboxes, as they are copyrighted images that are being used under claims of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no fair-use images can be used on user pages; please see the ninth item of the Wikipedia fair-use policy and Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images. These images have not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 05:36, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys

This is three months late, but I've just noticed that you moved Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys to Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?. I must request that you move this page back - the EP does not have a question mark in its name whereas the song does. The article is about the EP, and therefore should exclude the question mark. Due to the target page being a redirect, it will need to be deleted before this move can be made. Regards, DJR (T) 19:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I believe (as does Pitchfork) that the question mark is correct.

Please consult the actual CD. Pitchfork is often wrong about details such as these. DJR (T) 18:00, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The title listed on/in the CD is not always the official title.

When other sources disagree, it is the only reliable thing you can go by. Amazon, for example, has no question mark. DJR (T) 19:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amy LePeilbet

Amy LePeilbet has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this information might not be verifiable. Please review Wikipedia:Verifiability for the relevant policy. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so, citing reliable sources.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus. NickelShoe (Talk) 02:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Black-White.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Black-White.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 05:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:29, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Belle & Sebastian Write About Love

In regards to your recent edit to the Belle & Sebastian Write About Love article, of which your changes have been reverted:

I'd just like to point out that Belle & Sebastian Write About Love is actually the correct title and not, as you said, Write About Love by Belle & Sebastian, as pointed out by B&S' Sarah Martin herself on the official Q&A section of their website (http://www.belleandsebastian.com/qasearchk.php?searchterm=write+about+love)

" From: C Q.Aw man, write about love, that song is something else! What an organ solo, definitely Alan price or Rod Argent worthy. But has the album released been pushed back from the 11th of October to the 25th? Gutted.

A. i think it's 'write about love' the single that comes out on 25th; the LP belle and sebastian write about love is still due on the 11th i'm sure.

Sarah - 06/09/10"

"From: margot Q.so will the album title be properly listed as "Belle and Sebastian Write About Love" or just "Write About Love"? In 2005 when Franz released their second album, they called it "You could have it so much better with Franz Ferdinand" but the magazines and shops called it "You could have it so much better with.." I wonder if the same will happen here!

A. It should be Belle and Sebastian Write about Love - as in 'Val Doonican Rocks but Gently'.

Sarah - 14/08/10"

Thanks for uploading File:Pro Football HoF logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Unexplained deletions in Sufjan Stevens‎

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Sufjan Stevens‎.

Apology

I wanted to undo your edit to Charlotte Gainsbourg, but my Internet provider doesn't allow me to view the edit page at work, so I used to rollback button. Please let this not offend you.

As to the reason I reverted. 1. "singer-songwriter" for me has no connotations that I think are inappropriate in relation to Gainsbourg 2. "musician" is far too modest a description for Gainsbourg. 3. Gainsbourg's Wikipedia article calls him a "singer-songwriter" as well, amongst other things, but not musician.

In your place I would have applied the KISS rule here, meaning that the text as it was, was clear and simple and basically true, so why touch it? Debresser (talk) 10:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the page to now say "singer and songwriter". In English, singer-songwriter carries an entirely different connotation than "someone who sings and write songs". You say that musician is too modest, but I would say singer-songwriter is actively insulting. zellin t / c 16:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm okay with your last change. Debresser (talk) 17:09, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Trilogy

If you believe the songwriter of the song is different from the one credited, please find a source that supports both its sampling and its writing credit. We cant synthesize an unsourced claim and cherrypick one part of the liner notes source. Dan56 (talk) 18:44, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I dont get the example of "Here Comes the Sun"; everything needs to be cited. The liner notes for Trilogy says that the song "contains elements of", so perhaps those elements it happens to use were those written by Gall, not Gainsbourg. My point was we cant synthesize one part of the liner notes (that it contains elements of that song) with another source's claim that the "interpolated" song was written by someone different, contradicting what the former source says about who actually wrote the song (Wikipedia:Cherrypicking). Allmusic wouldnt be a more reliable source than liner notes, which conform to accurate publishing credits for legal reasons; Allmusic is an online database that faces little or no circumstances for erroneous information. They happen to have completely different writing/composer credits for Trilogy and its songs here. Dan56 (talk) 19:30, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, verifability and not "truth" is prioritized. Dan56 (talk) 19:46, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from changing or removing genres, as you did to Trilogy (The Weeknd album), without discussing or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 19:46, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Back to the writing credits, where are there inaccuracies "such as misspelled names" in the liner notes? What citation are you referring to when you say "look at the citation"? The Allmusic citation, which I previously explained is not too reliable for its questionable credits? Dan56 (talk) 19:49, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually an image of an original 7" is available at Discogs (here), verifying what you're telling me (was busy while talking to you, looking for the most reliable source, which would be that). However, how do you propose the writing credits in the track listing, which credit "Motreal" with Gall? Removing "Gall" from the "sample credits" below the track listing makes sense. Dan56 (talk) 20:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the writing credits for the samples. "Gall" should still stay in the track listing for "Montreal", as they are writing credits and that's how the song is credited. Dan56 (talk) 20:04, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If it's notable enough, a reliable source would have published an article saying that "this track incorrectly credits...". Otherwise, readers can go to "Laisse Tomber Les Filles" (available under the "sample credits"; "contains elements of"/interpolation is directly related and close enough) and see the relevent credits to that song. "Montreal" is credited how it is credited (hence the "writing credits" parameter) Dan56 (talk) 20:19, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Ascension (professional wrestling)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Ascension (professional wrestling), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. STATic message me! 16:32, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
