Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Pirate Captain[edit]

A tag has been placed on Pirate Captain, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Excirial^{(Talk,Contribs)} 19:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pirate Captain[edit]

I appreciate your trying to stop advertising, as is the rules, but i was in no way trynig to advertise the pirate captain. I am simply a fan of the Pirates! in an Adventure with... series and, after 4 books, felt the Pirate Captain deserved a page. Also, I had only just started it and was certain to reword it anyway. I had only done one edit. And I was soon to sort it out properly. I'm really not anything to do with the books' publication and the sentence I'd written can't have suggested that. If there was also a problem with the content, I can only say that other characters from fiction have a page (i.e Arthur Dent, of 5 books and a tv series, first person that came to mind) and the Pirate Captain is now a willing candidate. I also had back up sources to show his truths. If this was advertising I'm sure that every character/film/dvd page is also advertising. Was there any other reasons for its deletion?

Arthur7 (talk) 21:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is actually hard to say why the page was deleted. jusding from your talk page i tagged it for removal at the 23th of May, meaning it was removed over a week ago. In all due honesty i have no idea what the contents were, or what it was about, as i have tagged numerous other pages in the meantime. If you have a copy, i would be glad to tell you what was wrong with it though Excirial^{(Talk,Contribs)} 19:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To save you wondering, the following was the full text of the article:

((www.piratecaptain.co.uk))

((http://www.gideondefoe.com))

{{Infobox character | name = Pirate Captain'''

| first appearance = ''[[the Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists]]''

| other appearances = ''[[the Pirates! in an Adventure with Whailing]]''''[[the Pirates! in an Adventure with Communists]]''''[[the Pirates! in an Adventure with Napoleon]]|

| gender = Male

}}

It was deleted under WP:CSD#A1, (aka "little content"). If you want to work on the article, I'd suggest creating it at User:Arthur7/Pirate Captain, then moving it to article space when it's ready. — iridescent 19:41, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Iridescent, that clears up the problem :) Excirial^{(Talk,Contribs)} 19:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
