Notability of Anthony Hanemaayer
When you have a chance, please visit Talk:Anthony Hanemaayer and give the reasons for the notability tag you added. Thanks. David (talk) 17:54, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
- Replied on the talk page of the article. Cunard (talk) 18:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Speedy G7
You weren't the author, which is why I deleted it. It's now in AfD/RfD. We can sllow the process to finish. There's no rush. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 19:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't the author but G7 is when the author "requests deletion, if requested in good faith, and provided the page's only substantial content was added by its author". G7 can be added to articles/redirects by other users who notice that the creator wants the page to be deleted. This redirect should be speedily deleted as the creator clearly requested deletion as seen in this link. Cunard (talk) 19:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you!

Dutiespaid page
Please do not delete —Preceding unsigned comment added by LammoSteve (talk • contribs) 17:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- Dutiespaid has been deleted because it fails the notability guidelines for bands. Please read Wikipedia:Your first article. Cunard (talk) 17:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Pollywood
I noticed that you tried speedying one of these articles for deletion, so I thought you might want to see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Badar Munir.--CyberGhostface (talk) 02:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- I have voted for all seven articles to be deleted. Cunard (talk) 17:12, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of Ride Snowboards
Hi There, I am sorry, I didn't know that this would be cause for speedy deletion. I am new to this so I apologize, but our competitors are listed on wikipedia (burton, k2, elan, etc). If they are allowed to have an entry, why is it inappropriate for Ride Snowboards to have an entry? Thank you! Chuffman123 (talk) 18:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC) Casey
- Ride Snowboards is up for speedy deletion because the article doesn't show how this company satisfies the notability guidelines for companies. The article must also have reliable sources to show that it's notable. For more information, read Wikipedia:Your first article. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

A Little Bit Longer (song)
Hi! I've seen that you removed the article, A Little Bit Longer (song)'s information and reverted it back to redirect. But I don't think you should do that since the article was originally deleted because it lacks information but now that it's been released, we should keep the information. Can I reverted it back to my edit? Thanks. ♥, calliegal_x (talk) 00:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)Calliegal
- The article was redirected was because of the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Little Bit Longer (song). If you would like to create an article about that song, please try Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 21:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Deleting links he doesn't like
I just noticed that Carl.bunderson has deleted 9 links from the "Hyperdispensationalism" page that I have been extensively working on lately. All of these links look fine to me - some of the links lead to main proponents of Hyperdispensationalism for 60 years. I see from his user talk that he has had warnings about this kind of deletion activity before. I am pretty new around here and don't know how to deal with this. Looks like he's a clever guy and is used to problems with other users and I don't want any unpleasantness with him. Can you help please? Mysteryofthegospel (talk) 22:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, Mysteryofthegospel, and welcome to Wikipedia. Carl.bunderson removed those 9 links from the Hyperdispensationalism page because they weren't directly related to the article. According to Wikipedia:External links, only the "best" external links should be used in an article. The "best" links are those that directly relate to the article, in addition to containing valuable information that the Wikipedia article may not have due to copyrights or other reasons. The links Carl.bunderson removed were not directly related to the article. Some were to websites that discussed Dispensationalism. Dispensationalism is very related to Hyperdispensationalism, but that link was not directly related to Hyperdispensationalism. So basically, the external links in an article should be pared down to a minimum and should only be the best links. Hope this explains things a little. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 05:21, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
What's up with this page?66.108.111.112 (talk) 00:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- It appears that User:Ash7028 mistakenly created Ronald Presley in category space instead of article space. I've tagged the category for speedy deletion as I believe that the person Ronald Presley is non-notable. He is the cousin of Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley but that doesn't establish any notability for him. If an admin agrees with my reasoning, the category will be speedily deleted as a non-notable biography. Cunard (talk) 00:27, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Totally agree very strange being a second cousin twice removed does not meet notability. LOL Take care.66.108.111.112 (talk) 00:57, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
How the heck is that a useful dab if it points to nowhere? None of the songs have articles and probably never will as they weren't singles. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:23, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- It's a useful dab because it does point to many articles. I voted keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hyperactive (disambiguation) because "Hyperactive" is a plausible search term because anyone could be looking for these songs. Hyperactive (disambiguation) will point them directly to the album they were looking for. Cunard (talk) 01:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Yen tei nennu cheppustanu menu articlu? Sorrry buy i would like to know why you deleted my article? Is it just because of the fact that you dont not have a knowledge of what i am trying to explain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gowtham 6 (talk • contribs) 11:50, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- Gowtham Raja has been speedy deleted because he doesn't assert notability under WP:ATHLETE. Cunard (talk) 22:05, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I am considering nominating you for adminship. Please let me know about your thoughts on this. Thanks, SpecialK 20:00, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your expression of confidence, but I must decline. I like writing articles, reverting vandalism, and patrolling the new pages, but I don't want the extra tools right now. I've found that I can contribute to Wikipedia in the ways that I want to without being an admin. Thanks, nonetheless. Cunard (talk) 22:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome
I've been around doing mainly minor fixes for a while, and I've edited other wikis, so I doubt if I'll have any coding problems, but the culture problems could trip me up. Carolina wren (talk) 18:02, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, Carolina wren and welcome to Wikipedia. On behalf of the Wikipedia community, I apologize that even though you've been on Wikipedia for more than half a month, no one welcomed you! Anyway, thank you so much for your valuable contributions to Wikipdia. Have you heard about Wikipedia:Did you know? You can submit recently created articles to be featured in the DYK section of the main page. The article (2008 South Carolina Learjet 60 crash) you created today may be a great candidate for DYK. I'll take a look into that. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 18:47, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Hey
Sheesh. Would you like me to semi-protect this page for a couple days? SQLQuery me! 21:19, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, SQL but I don't think I'll be needing the semi-protection. The IP who was vandalizing my page has since stopped. There were some many reverts on my talk page because the IP was so fast and wasn't blocked until 20 minutes after the initial vandalism. I was only targeted because I reverted an attack on Betacommand's talk page and then gave the attacker a level 4 warning. I doubt that my talk page will be targeted that much anymore but thanks anyway. Best, Cunard (talk) 21:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by DannyFaQ (talk • contribs) 12:00, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for wanting to expand the Carpathian Shepherd Dog article. Since you own the copyright of the text at http://www.carpatini.ro, then the information you added is no longer a copyright violation. My humble apologies for giving you two harsh warnings about copyright violations. Anyway, much of the information you added, is not encyclopedic or about the Carpathian Shepherd Dog. Some of it contains the opinions of the author which is not encyclopedic, while some discusses other topics that are not directly related to the article. If you want to expand this article, please copy and paste the formatting in the article over to User:DannyFaQ/Sandbox and then expand it using the content from your website. Remember to remove the non-encyclopedic content in the article. Afterwards, give me a note on my talk page and I'll take a look at it. Then, you can paste the information in your sandbox back into the article. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 21:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, would you please give the DYK nomination a second review? The only problem with it was that I had accidentally used the wrong link in a citation. It should be good to go now. Best, DurovaCharge! 20:15, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
Vladas Česiūnas hook issue
I looked for the link in the DYK as you had requested, but all of the information I had submitted had been removed before I had a chance to look at them. Can you please advise me what issue you had with this because the article is DYK right now. Thanks. Chris (talk) 17:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- The issue was located in this link. The hook was not completely sourced. I had approved it but then struck out the verification after another editor discovered that the hook contained information that was not in the article. The alternate hook was over 200 characters long (it should be 200 characters or less). After I notified you about the DYK hook issue, I went back to the alternate hook and was able to shorten it myself. The article was later approved by another reviewer. Hope this explains things. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 22:48, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- The hook was a combonation of the October 22, 1979 TIME article that included Godunov, Protopropov, and Belousova and from the 2008 edition of the The Complete Book of the Olympics which I own. That may explain the confusion with the second hook in question though I thought had sourced it properly when I put that in there on the 21st. Hope this helps. Chris (talk) 12:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
This is going to sound stupid, but..
..Do you have to be an admin to verify crap on DYK? I see no reason why that would be so, but I'd like to be sure before I jump into shit creek and find i've forgotten my paddle. I nominate so many of my own articles I'd like to give something back, as it were, and spend time on verification. Ironholds 15:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Nope, you don't have to be an admin to verify DYK articles. I'm not an admin but I've verified a fair amount of articles on DYK. Just be sure to read through the DYK criteria and instructions so that you'll be set on which articles meet the criteria and which don't. Thanks for joining the team!

Sir, these articles are true and are not hoaxes. If you read the talk pages I have explained this many times. I am a chairperson at this event. Myself and the other chairpersons are attempting right now to create a webpage for the competition to raise awareness about it. This event takes place every March, and if you care to come to Sammamish, Washington, you can see for yourself. Please do not tag the pages that I have explained the citings are being currently worked on, thank you Mr. Zabriskie (talk) 06:30, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- I've done a bit of searching about this topic and have found nothing. Please stop creating hoaxes. If this organization has a website and there are multiple reliable sources about this topic, then I and the other editors at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The USA National Grape Catching Competition Finalists might reconsider our votes.
