Hey, don't sweat the google thing. In general, Google News is a much better source of potential good stuff than regular google. What I always do is put the term in quotes, and use Google News (or sometimes Google Scholar depending on the topic) and then always select the "all dates" option on the left. It generally does a MUCH better job of finding the good stuff than a straight google search because Google News ignores all the myspace/facebook crap. --Jayron32 02:55, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello Tim
Thank you for your comments. Ideawicket is significant as it is the first 'open innovation' intermediary based in India. It is unique among Open Innovation intermediaries in that it offers a platform for innovators to showcase their own innovations to corporations in addition to corporations posting their R&D requirements as Challenges.
Regards

I do not agree that this article should be deleted. St. Ann's Society is not a commercial group, it is very popular religious society in Polish parishes. Of course I don't have enough information, but I will get it.
What does "WP:NOTDICT. nn concept." mean? Specifically "nn concept" ? Thanks. --Rajah (talk) 06:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, Tim. I'm a new editor here, and it seems you've done quite a few of them. How long are we allowed, when forming a new page, to reference sources, etc.? Do you have some practical advice about how to improve this first page, please? I have a list of several others to create this month. I appreciate any ideas or advice, as apparently you've got the experience to suggest a few improvements. Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lingdao (talk • contribs) 18:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Here is what I referenced in Lingdao Talk Page: "Researching references and other details; editing verbiage; highlighting newsworthiness of bio, not including various references to a 10-page C.V. Smith is a better-known public speaker in China, mixing in Chinese phrases with English, speaking for colleges and universities, also by invitation to groups in the USA. Please allow time to develop and edit this into a more formal page. Thank you."
As it's being improved, I understand that you can userfy the page, which keeps the history, time/date details intact, but allows editors time to work on this further. If that is the case, please userfy "Ryan Kent Smith" page. Also, is e-mail contact more efficient for you? Let me know. 谢谢。
About the murder of Dr. Stidham, it has much work to do. But I think it is more than "not news" and it is notable. Very much coverage and even international coverage. There was even extensive coverage on Friday in the UK for about an hour. Very different kind of murder because it's a doctor killing another doctor in order to get more patients. And 2 county attorneys knew of a plot to kill the doctor but said nothing so the widow got over $2M. So there are several reasons to keep. But I will improve the article so it is a better article and a clearer "save" article. Thank you for giving me the chance to save the article. I will start tomorrow.

Please see my edit, Uddin is relevant as an artist because of his portrayal with the help of historically muslim art techniques to depict Christian Scenes. This is almost unheard of thus relevant... Jemesouviens32 (talk) 08:28, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello Tim. I've declined the speedy template, as I consider the subject notable for Wikipedia. Dalla Corna is listed among significant luthiers of the 16th - 19th century, the article is well referenced and Google search may be also helpful. Thank you. --Vejvančický (talk) 08:34, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I saw the relisting on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rupert Myers (writer) and for some reason thought it was a reopening. I fixed ((Relist)) to link to the guideline on relisting which may help others see what it means.
I'm not sure if my changing the Delete into a Comment is the right way to do it but a struck delete made it look like I'd change my mind. --Marc Kupper|talk 22:24, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I CSD'd the KVG article, just wondering why you placed a CSD notice on the user's talk page but didnt actually CSD the article? --ScythreTalkContribs 11:05, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi.
Re. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Dale Pratt,
I understand your comments perfectly, but I wonder if you meant to write delete instead of keep ?

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton | Talk 04:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't know how to leave a message after editing the article. The changes which Bioextra is making never make any sense. Bioextra is confusing a heterozygous tiger with a golden tabby tiger. It makes no sense to add a section titled Heterozygous Tiger for a variety of reasons. There's no point in adding general information on tigers which is available elsewhere on Wikipedia, especially after complaining that the article is too long. Why do that and then add useless information which is off topic? Why change the titles of other sections for no apparent reason? I am trying to repair the damage, but I get accused of vandalism ! 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)PS Will you please restore my edits.

Hi, Timotheus Canens/Archives/2009. I have granted you NPWatcher per your request here.

Fleshing out a paragraph with gramatical accuracy is hardly NPOV. I'm sure you'll agree that the irony of your biasness is pretty shameful —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.249.215.242 (talk) 07:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Tim,
I'm just writing in response to the edit warning regarding changes to a couple of articles. I want to explain the reasoning behind these changes I made;
1. Much of your information is incorrect; ie. that Chetniks were Axis-collaborators during World War 2. The Chetniks were actually responsible for the largest rescue ever of Allied airmen AND Chetnik leader Draza Mihailovich was awarded the Legion of Merit by the United States president Harry S. Truman for services to the Allied war effort during World War 2. As such, Momcilo Djujic was also an Allied fighter, NOT an Axis supporter, hence the reason the U.S government allowed for him and many other Chetniks flee to America from Tito's corrupt Communist regime.
2. Regarding the information on Ivo Andric, he was in fact Serbian. You have an image on the page whose caption purports that "During his studies at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, Ivo Andrić declared himself as Croatian." The image DOES NOT in fact say that anywhere and you will find Ivo Andric actually referred to himself as Serbian.
I look forward to hearing your response. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefanarsenijevic (talk • contribs) 07:50, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I saw you removed the CSD from the article. I understand why you did it, but disagree that it was necessary to remove the CSD and change it to a AfD. There are many reasons one might apply a PROD instead of a CSD. The assumption that the article might not meet CSD criteria is only one. My best to you... ttonyb1 (talk) 15:16, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much for deleting the page! I just don't want the redirect to the User:SRELY&P/The Gekko - Wall Street's to Main Street's Ultimate Power Shirt page. Should I just make a new page? SRELYP 07:30, 30 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by SRELY&P (talk • contribs)
I'm sorry about that. I didn't know you liked your messages at the bottom. I also wanted to ask you if you knew how to delete an image. I uploaded File:21 Club Gekko and Fox.jpg which is a modified image from the original I had gotten and didn't know that it was considered vandalism on Wikipedia. I no longer am using the photo and wish to have it deleted. If you know the code to delete the image that would be great. THANK YOU!

There is no breach of copyright as the shire asked me to create this entry as they did not have the internal expertise. Please keep the entry as it is.
