Please do not remove maintenance tags until the work has been done, as you have done multiple times with I Am the Bullgod. The purpose of these tags is to alert other editors that work is needed to make this article into a better one. If you have questions about the tags, the article's discussion page is the appropriate place for that. Thanks!--Kathy A. 13:37, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on The Howling Diablos, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add ((hangon)) on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Alcemáe T • C 18:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you removed the verify tag and cleanup tag from articles. Please them in place. Every article needs sources or references, in other words, where an editor got the information. Articles also need cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Thanks for your contributions. --Sandahl 05:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on All Summer Long (Kid Rock song), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add ((hangon)) on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Russ (talk) 22:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article All Summer Long (Kid Rock Song), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Please try to rein it in a little with the Kid Rock song articles. First of all, you're not adding categories to the articles. Also, not every song needs an article; "Blue Jeans and a Rosary" was just released, so it probably won't be the subject of any sources for a while yet. Also, non-charting songs generally don't get an article. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 23:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rovingangster! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 4 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1,612 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the ((unreferencedBLP)) tag. Here is the list:

1. Stefanie Eulinberg - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The article Jason Krause has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable musician, no sources other than IMDb

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
