Help request
Glen - I could use your assistance with some recent changes to the Derek Poundstone and Travis Ortmayer pages. I recently removed some excessive links on both pages, and someone else removed a paragraph on Poundstone's page that had nothing directly to do with the subject. I've already gone through one round of reverts with User_talk:Garrickdaft (actually he's reverted twice already). I posted a message on both talk pages and on Garrickdaft's user talk page, but he apparently doesn't care to discuss things - he just keeps putting back the same material simply claiming in the edit comment that it's "necessary" to have this stuff included. I also had added POV tags, since both pages seem to "promote" the individuals a bit excessively. Again, these were removed with no discussion or attempt to improve the tone (I wasn't logged in at the time I made these edits, but I don't see how that's really relevant anyway). In any case, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look if you get a chance. I think the excessive external links are pretty clearly a violation of WP policy (which I pointed out in the discussion). The other stuff, I admit, is more of a judgement call, but another opinion would be appreciated. fbb_fan (talk) 21:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Bill Phillips editing his own article
User:BillEditor appears to have a special interest in the Bill Phillips article. I've restored much of the blanked content for now, though we should start adding some references. It's been awhile since I worked on this article though... --Yankees76 (talk) 21:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Request for assistance
Glen - the other day I came across some editing problems created by a new user (User:Samanthadecanta), and have attempted to fix things. The situation was this - there previously was a page for "Darren Meade", an Irish soccer player. This new user insists that his name should be spelled "Darren Mead", so she just took over the existing Darren Meade page to create a bio for someone else (a bodybuilder) - wiping out the bio for the soccer player entirely. I made a DAB page at Darren Meade, restored the soccer player's bio at Darren Meade (soccer), and put the bodybuilder's page at Darren Meade (bodybuilder). I thought I should communicate with this new user to let her know why wiping out the old page was a bad idea, so I started a discussion on her talk page. Among other things, I'm trying to get the proper name for the soccer player straightened out. As you can see, I have cited a bunch of sources that confirm that the soccer player's name is "Darren Meade", and a search for "Darren Mead" only seemed to turn up references to an Australian Rules football player (who also has a WP entry). However, this user insists that she is right, and claims that she doesn't have to provide a citation to support her claim since I am not a paid employee of Wikipedia. So far, the only "source" she has provided that supports her claim is a Wikipedia entry at Meade (surname); her second link (to a newspaper article) is again referring to the Australian guy.
In any case, I'm trying to avoid "biting the newbie", but my suggestions to become familiar with standard Wikipedia procedure are clearly falling on deaf ears (since I lack "authority"). So perhaps a friendly suggestion from an admin might help. Thanks, Fbb_fan fbb_fan (talk) 03:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hello there! Sorry to intrude, but I have been in touch with the editor who tried and failed to get Darren Meade (bodybuilder) on Wikipedia. She provided me with media references on the subject, and I am going to try to recreate the article so it meets Wikipedia standards. I hope to accomplish this in the coming week. Cheers!

Orphaned non-free media (File:T-Nation.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:T-Nation.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
