Land Rover Range Rover Classic

The point of having the photo of a very old RR at the top was to contrast it with newer models (since there's far more difference between pre-facelift and post-facelift models than there is between the various post-facelift ones). I haven't reverted it because I wanted to know what your reason was, lest I should undo an edit done for a good reason. :) -- Collard 07:59, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Notability of Porter and Bello Professional Law Corporations

A tag has been placed on Porter and Bello Professional Law Corporations, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing 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 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. Proofreader J-Man 06:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Gene Porter

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Gene Porter, by Whstchy, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Gene Porter seems 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.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Gene Porter, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Gene Porter itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Forum_Shops_1697.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Forum_Shops_1697.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 06:21, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 06:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Las Vegas, Nevada has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. --aktsu ^(t / c) 07:38, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

March 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. There is no reason to join an edit war. I find your appearance in this edit waring to be rather interesting since it came about after an IP block for this article over just this problem. For now I'm going to assume that you are not using multiple accounts. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. 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. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address 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) 04:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I reverted a one of your well-intentioned recent edits to the Bigelow Aerospace. See my edit comment, and then happy to discuss it further with you on the article Talk page if you would like. Cheers. N2e (talk) 01:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kabuto (restaurant)

Hello Bporter28,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kabuto (restaurant) for deletion, because it seems to be an promotion, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 03:14, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Picasso (restaurant), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Spanish and AAA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Las Vegas Valley housing market

Please do not tag Las Vegas Valley housing market for speedy deletion again. Your reason is not one of the valid speedy deletion criteria. If you wish to pursue deletion of the article, please use the Articles for Deletion process. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:16, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

I understand, but this may be considered G2 and G1. The article is irrelevant. I am not sure how to file for deletion, even after reading the steps -- Bporter28 (talk) 22:18, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

No, G1 and G2 would not apply. It is neither patent nonsense or a test page. The steps to nominate an article for deletion are at WP:AFDHOW. However, merely being out of date is not a good reason for deletion. It might be deleted for not being a significant enough topic for a separate article. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:26, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

I just took steps to update the article for 2013. Hope this helps! -- Bporter28 (talk) 22:31, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hollywood is in LA City

With regards to this diff [[1]], you stated Hollywood is not in LA City. It is, you can check on google maps. Transcendence (talk) 18:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Your edit is very controversial. According to the Wikipedia:CYCLE (edit, revert = discuss), first: you must discuss it, later: edit. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:03, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

There are many other global cities which specialize in the same fields. You cannot assign these fields solely to LA. Also, Hollywood is its own city. The introduction to the Los Angeles, California page should be information specifically about LA, with encyclopedic information. The areas that LA specializes in are discussed in the appropriate section of the article, but should not be in the introduction, which should include only facts about the city itself. User:Bporter28 (User talk:Bporter28|talk]]) 13:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

This is your personal opinion. But to change the intro of the article, must to be consensus. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

And that is also your opinion. We know what a world center is. The wording is simply redundant. A world center means that the city is a leader in fashion, film, etc. The reason there is a link to "world center" is so people know what it is. It shouldn't be listed immediately after a link to the article. User:Bporter28 (talk) 13:21, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I and other users, we have a different opinion. Sorry. By the way, "world center" is not synonym of "single", "only". There may be a few capitals, and each is the capital. Subtropical-man (talk) 20:29, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

There are plenty of world center pages on Wikipedia, including Paris, and none of them have elaborate lists after them. The information is already in the article, so listing it in the introduction is redundant. Also, you seem to be the only one responding. User:Bporter28 (talk) 13:48, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

NV SR 573

I saw you tried to remove it from the SR 573 page, and LJTheFro put it back. Now you went to Commons and try to have it deleted. Besides the fact there is no reason for its deletion (it was accurate at the time only a few months ago and the landscaping is irrelevant to the subject), what gives exactly? If you find the picture out of date slightly because of some piddly landscaping, go and take a picture of the current location yourself, upload it, and put it up. Put your $$ where your mouth is. Famartin (talk) 19:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Graffiti on a wall

I removed the photo of graffiti you added to the Los Angeles, California, article because it could have been taken anywhere and had nothing to do with the content of the article. If you disagree, please tell why on the Talk page for that article. Thank you. I appreciate the work you are doing. Yours, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! I really appreciate it. It's been a lot of hard work, but definitely needs to be done. Most of these files are over a decade old. Bporter28 (talk) 01:50, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Anthem, Nevada

The article Anthem, Nevada has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GEOLAND. Not a city, but a neighborhood, which means it should be analyzed per the WP:GNG, which it also fails

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.
