Notability of Albert Wagner (Veteran)

A tag has been placed on Albert Wagner (Veteran), 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. Xyzzyplugh 14:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Surviving Veterans of WWI

I'm curious as to what you base your recent additions to the page, Matthew Engh and Boris Efimov. Contributions are definitely most welcome, but there needs to be some type of basis for it. Nothing seems to indicate Boris Efimov's veteran status in any article, and nothing seems to prove that Matthew Engh even exists, let alone is a WWI vet. If you have some type of sources, please share with everyone on the discussion page, as these folks have worked quite hard to have a very accurate grouping of WWI Veterans. --Brianmccollum 21:13, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Walter Richardson

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Walter Richardson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.

suggestion

When you add WWI veterans, please make sure they are very securely documented, both with respect to their age and to their military service, or you will be doing the work to no purpose. It's difficult enough supporting the notability of the articles in any case. Including a very short quotation from one the the sorces might helpDGG 08:40, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

April 2007

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Joseph McPherson, you will be blocked from editing. MER-C 13:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

*Sigh*

All right. You are blocked, not forever, but for the rest of this month. Because you asked very politely, and because I'm too nice. And this is your only chance.

Every article you created had to be checked out, do you understand that? If you submitted a bunch of lies and garbage just for fun, why should we believe that you also submitted real articles?

If we could not find a reference for it right away, it had to go. We couldn't risk it being yet another Stupid Little Prank.

During your enforced time off, if you want to re-create your articles, I suggest that you consult my deletion log. You see all those that are labeled "unreferenced article created by user banned for creating false articles. If references can be found, re-create"? This is a good time to see if you can actually find references.

I'll be keeping an eye on your contributions. Don't screw up. DS 00:18, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

• Okay. You wrote me the following e-mail:

"Dear DragonflySixtyseven, I probably thinks you remember me I am user:Marxus 69. 120.38.103. and Iwrote to you about 2 hours ago and I am just a 12 year old kid. I admit I wrote a hoax article and I am sorry, really. I love typing articles on wikipedia.org and I wan't to continue but I will never write a hoax article again. Please let me write again, every single article I wrote other than the hoax one about Joseph McPherson and his father and his son. I have written hundreds of articles the past year. All of my articles are the truth like the one on Gorman McPhail, believe it or not he is my great grandfather and I am really sorry. Please let me write more articles on the website of wikipedia. Please, I am worrying, sad and very angry. I always wite articles that are fact and the truth it was just this one that I made up. Please, the website has been deleting the articles that are the truth and please let me write more articles please, please, please I beg of you, why do you have to do this I have never blocked any other wikipedian ever and they do it to me. Please let me write, I cant get over it. You have my word, I will NEVER EVER write another hoax article. I love writing on wikipedia. Please give me another chance and I will write the truth. The website has deleted some of articles and all the ones that the website has deleted was the truth. Please let me write again on wikipedia. I will NEVER be a hoaxster or write any other fake or hoax articles ever again. I love doing this and if I can't do this then I won't be able to live with myself. Please can you stop blocking me from writing these articles. Some of my articles were deleted and those articles were the truth. Don't bring back my hoax article about Joseph McPherson just put back all my articles that are the truth that I have written. Just please bring back all of my articles that are the truth. I just want everything to be back to normal before I wrote the hoax article on Joseph McPherson.

Alcatraz

I appreciate your efforts in expanding our coverage of criminals and escapes at Alcatraz, but much of your information is entirely wrong. I am not an expert on this topic but after some basic research I have found references to support completely different stories about the lives of Clarence Carnes, James Boarman and Henri Young, among others. I understand that all of these people are real so I have fixed the articles rather than deleting them, but it seems you have a history of creating hoax articles. If you cannot explain yourself and if you make any more huge mistakes like this, I or another administrator may need to block you for several months to ensure the security and accuracy of Wikipedia. Academic Challenger 05:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

You are still posting false information. Harold Brest did not drown, he was recaptured. Please talk to me about this, and I will definitely give you a short block to get your attention if you create more articles without discussing them if they have any false information.

Richard Brautigan

Because of your history of disruptive edits, and because you provide neither edit summary comments nor references to support your edits, I'm undoing all the edits you made to this article. In the future, you must provide both edit summary statements and comments to support any factual changes you make, or I will undo your edits. RedSpruce 14:47, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand why you persist in not using edit summary comments. This makes me wonder if you are still deliberately being disruptive, even though some of your edits are factually correct. Please start behaving appropriately. Considering your past record, any admin who decides that you're deliberately being disruptive again is likely to give you a rather severe penalty. RedSpruce 20:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi i'm Marxus, I found my facts from another website FYI. Don't be rude alright. I didn't make it up OK! DOn't get me in trouble for writing right no either. I found my facts at the Richard Brautigan Bibliography Archive which is under your references. I got my facts straight. So, you leave me alone now. I am tired of this. I did one time create a false article. But it was deleted ya happy. I haven't made any false articles since. The Gorman and Duncan McPhail are my great grandfather and great great grandfather. That wasn't false ask my grandma. So what i'm righting about Richard Brautigan ain't false. Because I researched it on another website and put it in my own words. So SHUTUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and leave me alone! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.151.57.228 (talk) 00:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi Maxus. Since you obviously don't know how to write correct English, how to interact in a reasonable way with other people, or how to follow simple rules, it's clear to me that you don't belong on Wikipedia, whether your facts are correct or not. Why don't you go play with some other toy that's more appropriate to your age group (8 to 12, I'm guessing)? RedSpruce (talk) 02:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am 12 in a half. My apologies of saying shutup. But my facts are straight. And I know English. You don't need to be mean. And I don't play with toys or video games ok. I go outside. I am still angry at redspruce for him saying I don't know how to write correct English and telling to get off your website and play toys. I am sorry for my rudeness saying shutup and all. I was just angry. I probably shouldn't have said that to you. But I am very very sorry. I like writing on wikipedia. I had a record for a fake name on the website but that was in January of 2007, eleven months ago. I haven't made a false article since. Now. Please let me be on wikipedia longer. Im sorry. I am interested in Richard Brautigan. I've read his novel A Confederate General from Big Sur and also read Rommel Drives on Deep into Egypt. I'm even writing a book about him. And no did not put my book title on wikipedia. I don't make false articles. And Im am very sorry for my rudeness saying shutup. Please forgive me. I am really sorry. PS: I would also wanted RedSpruce to apologize to me like I did to him and wikipedia. Thank you. User:Marxus

This is the second time I've asked for your reasons for deleting infoboxes on the pages of Brautigan books. If you don't leave edit comments and don't lease messages on the talk pages, how is anyone supposed to understand your motives? Rknasc (talk) 21:22, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Let me be blunt, Marxus.

Because of your history of screwing with Wikipedia, you must supply references for new data, and you 'must use edit summaries.

I don't want to block you just to get your attention. But I will if I have to. DS (talk) 03:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Well. You are now blocked for seventy-two hours, because you've continued making edits without summaries, and because you haven't responded to any of the messages that were left for you. DS (talk) 00:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey

A tag has been placed on An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

Hi i'm Marxus, I am not going to argue. You can delete An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey I don't mind. It was a novel by Richard Brautigan and I found out about it on the Richard Brautigan Bibliography and Archives website and learned about it but put it in my own words. I don't want to cause any trouble. You can delete the article if you want. But i'm just wondering, you want me to put a citation needed sign after some edits. How do you do that. Ok. Thanks for letting me talk. User:Marxus

Hi Marxus. The speedy tag has been deleted from that article and you may consider expanding it if you like. I'm glad to see that it's going to stay. The way to insert a "citation needed" tag is to type {{cn}} or {{fact}} where you want the tag to go. But, I think if another editor thinks the tag belongs on your edits, it would be just as easy for him to put them there.

May I also say that I know you've had a little bit of trouble here at Wikipedia, so if you need any friendly help, give me a message. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 23:05, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi i'm Marxus. I'm glad that the article may stay. Thanks very much.

Hi Marxus, me again. I'm going to place the fact tag at the end of this article twice so you can see two ways to do it by looking on the edit page. Actually I don't think The Tokyo-Montana Express needs either that tag or the "sources" tag, because it should be fairly obvious that the information you're giving comes straight from the book.

Also, considering your interests, you might find WP:WAF interesting and helpful. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 10:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion for Bibliography of Richard Brautigan

Hi i'm Marxus. I would like you to keep the article Bibliography of Richard Brautigan. Many writers have their own bibliography article including my favrotite writer Edgar Allan Poe and Ernest Hemingway. Richard Brautigan is also one of my favorite writers and wanted to create a bibliography article for him. And the article is already merged with Richard Brautigan under the category books in the Richard Brautigan article. So can you please keep it. Thank you.

Hi its Marxus again. At the top of the article Bibliography of Richard Brautigan it says to either come to my talk page or change the article a little bit. I am now on my talk page and change the article a little bit by adding the books ISBN numbers. I was recently on my talk page and brought up the discussion. I don't want you to delete that article. I followed both your orders and want you to cancel the speedy deletion for the article Bibliography of Richard Brautigan. Thank you.

Hi, this is Marxus, I don't understand why The God of the Martians can't be put on wikipedia. It is an unpublished novel and many unpublished novels were put on wikipedia by authors like Hunter S. Thompson, Stephen King, Jack Kerouac, Herman Melville, and Donald Hamilton. They were all articles just telling about its rejection. Thats what I'm doing. I was explaining when Richard Brautigan finished the novel, when he sent to his surrogare mother and when the novel as rejected. It all explains that in other articles about unoublished novels. And I look up research about the unpublished novel. And I don't know why it can't be on wikipedia. All I want is an explanation for why it is going to be deleted. If I get information why it can't be on wikipedia than I won't put it on again.

The Tokyo-Montana Express

Hi Marxus. I like the fact that you are young and so enthusiastic about Richard Brautigan. Keep it up and continue to read his works. However, your recent edits to the Richard Brautigan wikipedia article are in conflict with the consensus reached on the discussion page for this article. That is, it was agreed that The Tokyo-Montana Express should be listed as a novel rather than a collection. This was primarily as a result of both Brautigan and his publisher listing it as a novel in other works and the work itself. Brautigan blurred the distinction between a novel and a collection so there is ample room to disagree here. However, repeatedly making the same edit that gets undone without an edit comment or any discussion is a little disconcerting. I would recommend (especially in light of this whole talk page and the various blocks you've gone through) that you learn more about Wikipedia guidelines and editing policies/conventions before making further edits. I am going to undo your recent edit the the Brautigan page (for the second time). Please do not make this same edit without first discussing it with the other editors. Ronald Joe Record (talk) 00:10, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi this is Marxus, I thank you for telling me this so it won't happen again, but, I have checked on Richard Brautigan's home page website and it lists The Tokyo-Montana Express as a short story collection and not a novel. It also says on that website that he wrote ten novels but if you add The Tokyo-Montana Express it would be eleven so I thougth that it was a short story collections. It also says on the website that there are 131 stories in it. I believed the website but I don't know if it is either a novel or short story collection. So, you can list it as a novel and the reason I put it as a short story collection is because the website said it was. But this won't be a problem and I won't interfere again.

Marxus - there is some disagreement between Brautigan web sites as to how to classify The Tokyo-Montana Express. John Barber at brautigan.net classifies it as a collection of stories. The Brautigan Pages classifies it as a novel. The book itself lists itself as a novel as do So The Wind Won't Blow It All Away and An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey. We discussed it on the Brautigan talk page and decided to go with the classification Brautigan used in his novels. You do raise a good point - if TTME is a novel then that makes eleven not ten novels he has published (12 if the as-yet unpublished The God of the Martians comes out).

If you wish to discuss this further we should move our conversation to the Brautigan talk page at Talk:Richard Brautigan. Thanks for replying and keep reading Brautigan! Ronald Joe Record (talk) 05:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Ownership of articles

Hi, this is Marxus, sorry, I don't know how to use those phrases and didn't know how to use them at all. I will try to now since you have told me. You see, I wrote many articles on Richard Brautigan novels such as A Confederate General From Big Sur, The Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Western, Willard and His Bowling Trophies: A Perverse Mystery, Sombrero Fallout: A Japanese Novel, Dreaming of Babylon: A Private Eye Novel 1942, and An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey. For the novels The Hawkline Monster, Willard and His Bowling Trophies, Sombrero Fallout, and Dreaming of Babylon, I don't like when someone else changes what I have written. They create that thing on the right hand side of the novel pages about more information, I don't like that. Especially since there is no pictures on top it makes the article look bad. And I am sorry about the vandalism but I just want people changing my articles and when I change it back it goes back to the one I didn't like. I thank you for your information but please can you make that stop though and I am not trying to be rude or anything I am just asking my articles to be the way I would like them is all. Thank you and please respond.

Please note that you do not own any article; no article on Wikipedia is your article, even if you created it and are the only person who has edited it. So let me strongly suggest that you step back and think before using the phrase "my article" again. Trying to justify your vandalism on the basis that someone does something that you don't like is about the weakest excuse possible. If you continue this kind of editing, let me assure you that you will be blocked. Ward3001 (talk) 19:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi this is Marxus, I know that people can change articles that someone created and I won't say "my article" again, but I just wonder when I change it back the way I like they don't keep it and when the other person at wikipedia changes it it stays like that. And I will try not to vandalize anymore, and I say try because I think I may be editing an article with true facts but it turns out to be vandalism, and as I said I will try not to vandalize. Am I able to add more information to the article without deleting anything. Just curious. But anyway, thanks for answering back and I will keep what you have said in mind.

"when I change it back the way I like they don't keep it and when the other person at wikipedia changes it it stays like that": The proper procedure when there is disagreement (unless there are blatant policy violations) is to discuss on the article's talk page and come to some understanding, instead of reverting back and forth repeatedly. See WP:CONSENSUS. In fact, click all the blue links on this page and read everything. Please note, however, that some things are standard procedure on Wikipedia (such as infoboxes). If you don't like something that falls into that category, you are free to discuss on the talk page, but there is less chance that you will reach consensus to change it the way you want it.

"I will try not to vandalize anymore, and I say try because I think I may be editing an article with true facts but it turns out to be vandalism": Unintentional errors are not vandalism. Creating hoax articles, deleting huge sections of articles, or making other major changes either as retaliation for something you don't like or for the fun of it is vandalism. If you think you have been falsely accused of vandalism, discuss on the talk page. What I hope you're saying is that you will not intentionally vandalize, something you have done in the past. And I hope you're saying that once a policy is pointed out to you, you will not intentionally violate that policy again. Am I correct? Ward3001 (talk) 23:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, this is Marxus, thanks Ward3001 for responding back to my questions. Earlier today I edited James Robert Baker's novel Boy Wonder. I can see it was changed back. I only edited the article cause I though there was some more information about the book I can put on wikipedia. The information I used was from amazon.com and explained the book Boy Wonder. It is fine if you leave it the way it was changed back to. I won't interfere in changing it back to the way I wrote it today. Thanks for answering my questions and sorry to cause you trouble with Boy Wonder. Bye

Don Carpenter

Will you please stop changing the Don Carpenter page? I've undone your contributions several times now. Your writing is terrible, your grammer is awful and many of your facts are wrong. I don't know what you think you're doing, but I notice you have a history of vandalizing pages. Please go mess around somewhere else. Grrroucho (talk) 03:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)grrroucho

Hi this is Marxus, I will stop editing the Don Carpenter page. But you don't need to be mean to me. God!. Can you tell me better. I feel like you are insulting me and yelling at me on the internet. Don't say my writing it terrible, I've never insulted you. don't tell me to mess around somewhere else. That was also mean. Now, I will stop editing Don Carpenter and I thank you for telling me, but I would like you to apologize. And you say my grammar is wrong, you didn't even spell it right. You could have told me just to please stop editing instead of insulting me. Please write back and apologize, and don't worry, I won't get in your way. Marxus (talk 15:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)marxus
