Bailey White

I saw your recent edits to the Bailey White article, and I just wanted to come by and thank you, because your edit will be a big help in starting to push the article to where I envisioned it eventually being when I created it. LLBBooks 23:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad I could help. She definitely deserves more than a stub.--HughGRex 01:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree :) LLBBooks 19:58, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

References on Global warming

Hi Hugh, I appreciate the effort you put into references on the global warming article. Would you consider to use the template: cite web for this? --Stephan Schulz 13:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll seriously consider using the format in the future. However, I'm on a different project, so I'm not sure when I'll get back to the Global Warming article. I invite anyone else to reconfigure the refs with the template.--HughGRex 13:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits made to Criticism of Bill O'Reilly

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, HughGRex! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule tinyurl\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 11:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:A_Long_Way_Gone.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A_Long_Way_Gone.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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images 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. ↔NMajdan•talk 21:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Regarding "Exploratory Committees"

You're invited to comment at Template talk:United States presidential election, 2008 navigation, on this proposal:

Proposed Deletion of category "Exploratory" and "Declared" for individuals filing with FEC.

And please note this argument on the same talk page. Exploratory equals Candidate.

Best regards, -- Yellowdesk 07:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Swept Away.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Swept Away.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! guests (2005)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! guests (2005), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Does not indicate notability; no reliable, published, third party sources.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Jeandré, 2009-05-09t09:19z 09:19, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Criticism of Bill O'Reilly (political commentator)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Criticism of Bill O'Reilly (political commentator). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticism of Bill O'Reilly (political commentator) (3rd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Wait Wait Episode lists

Remember earlier in the year when that guy tried to delete the Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! episodes lists? We wander down this road again. I was in the middle of converting them to episode lists instead of simply guest lists so i can add which panellists were there on the day, and I found that 2005 has been relisted for deletion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! guests (2005) (2nd nomination). It's the same guy and he has brought no new arguments to the table. The old discussion is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! guests (2005)

I hope you can add your voice to the fray especially since NPR took down their records and this info will be hard to find otherwise if it's taken from Wikipedia. -The Talking Sock talk contribs 02:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello HughGRex! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 938 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

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

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 18:04, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Overlinking

Hi. Per WP:OVERLINKING, a link to another page only needs to appear once in an article. Victoria Azarenka is already linked in the Radwanska article, and doesn't need to be linked in the 2012 section. It sets a better example to unregistered users to follow the policy. -- James26 (talk) 14:12, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, I looked for a instance in which Azarenka's name was already linked and couldn't find one. Apologies for missing it.HughGRex (talk) 18:21, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
