LCF (Band)

Yes, thank you for deleting my article about LCF(Band). We're only a new alternative band that would like the free publicity and "coolness" that comes from us having our band on Misplaced Pages. Oh and we're all about 14 so thanks for destroying some children's dreams.


Hi I made a[REDACTED] page for my cricket club and we currently hold the English National record of winning the National Under 13s cup which is a significant achievement in cricket within the English Cricket Board, why would the page be deleted - http://en.wikipedia.org/Wycombe_house_cricket_club we're reocgnised my the Local Professional side as having produced the most amount of professional cricket players in the County in the last 15 years as well

The World and Misplaced Pages

According to this page, I should contact you about a stub which I have prepared at User:Wavelength/Sandbox 4/The World and Misplaced Pages. I will watch your talk page for any reply which you may have. -- Wavelength (talk) 16:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

No need, you are good to create it if you would like. Prodego 17:07, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Correct, the original entry in 2007 was blanked by its creator. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:09, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you both. -- Wavelength (talk) 22:26, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Interestingly the original author of the page (in 2007) is also the author of the book (in 2009) which the new article is about. Prodego 01:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Focus Bikes

Hi there, I was going to create the page Focus Bikes, but as it was created in the past and deleted by yourself, I must now contact you as per Misplaced Pages guide lines. I am going to create the article based on Focus Bikes which is a bicycle manufacturer and I am not going to make it an advertorial. I presume this it not an issue and await your reply. Thanks.

First Love - John Clare

Hi I made a page earlier for the John Clare poem 'First Love'. Despite holdon ing it, and explaining that the Copyright bot was in the wrong as the poem does not belong to http://www.romanticlovesecrets.com/First-Love-Poems.html, it belongs to nobody as this site is simply reciting the poem, you have deleted the page. Why?

Pillow Pets

I wrote an article about pillow pets earlier. After unambigous promo speedy delete notice, I added hangon tag and explained that this page did not promote any particular company or brand. Alternative/competitor brands making pillow pets listed under History. Pillow pet is a generic word for plush animal toys that can be converted to a pillow. The article informs about what pillow pet means, its first use in commerce, and how it works. Thanks


Frédéric Kristiansson

Dear NawlinWiki,

I made a mistake by creating the profile of Frédéric Kristiansson on the English Misplaced Pages. Indeed since he was elected as a student representative between 2004 and 2006(you can check it there: http://fr.wikipedia.org/Conseil_National_de_la_Vie_Lyc%C3%A9enne ) but is not anymore, the press service could not create his page with any official login. I was mistaken by using "Ministère de l'Education" because it is a Moral Person, and therefore I checked with the administrator Peter, and renamed my account as Emartin33.

A point which bother me though is that a lot of terms are technique and requires an explanation like the abbreviations CNVL, CNJ, etc.. but they do not exist on the English wikipedia. I therefore thought that instead of putting a link to the french wikipages, I would directly put a link toward the sites of the organizations, which are translated in English: Is that also ok with you? Otherwise I am opened to any suggestions and advices. Best Regards, and sorry to have bothered you with those errors.

  • (1) You really shouldn't link to external sites. (2) I still don't see how Mr. Kristiansson meets the notability guidelines of WP:BIO or the sourcing guidelines of WP:V, so I still don't think he should have an article here. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:15, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Debate about Red Baron's funeral on Missing man formation

Someone who apparently imagines that Von Richthofen is a figure from the SECOND world war is madly reverting over a silly idea that funeral flyovers originated from his funeral. His source indicates that it is a supposition, but he insists is "useful" and "accurate". Anyway, I would appreciate your having a look at this as we need to get a consensus.--Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I have this page under Watch. I am that person and take your "madly" as a WP:NPA. Let's keep it on the talkpage where it belongs and not draw in admins. I believe NawlinWiki knows me and my history. --Morenooso (talk) 22:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
BTW, I just checked Soundofmusicals' contribs. Looks like this is one of seven invites. --Morenooso (talk) 22:34, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
And fair enough too - this kind of sillyness (not call anyone silly - we all do silly things from time to time) needs to be speedily resolved - and no one will pick this one up without an invitation while the subject is expressed (on your insistence) so cryptically. The people I have invited were chosen from the list of people who have recently edited the "Red Baron" article, not because they were, or were not, administrators - nor because they are necessarily likely to agree with me - in fact at least one of them is someone I have had vigorous debate with in the past. This is not about point scoring, but keeping Wiki factual and encyclopedic as opposed to supposition riddled. To repeat - there is one source, and it talks about a "rumour". (READ IT!!! PLEASE!!!) Sorry incidentally if you take this as a personal attack - my intent is NOT to "attack" you - but your reverts - my opinion that they are "mad" is of course just my opinion - and in any case was not meant to imply anything about you. I do mad things every day, I think most of us with any character do.!--Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:59, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
At least one of the "invitees" has shown up. WP:NPA is WP:NPA and inviting others to an article with the same words is the worst kind of WP:NPA as far as I am concerned. I am walking away from my computer to WP:COOL. --Morenooso (talk) 23:01, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
user:Bzuk just reverted. He's one of the invitees. --Morenooso (talk) 23:02, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
