Dear member of WikiProject Malta,
I'd like to invite you to participate in an ongoing Article for Deletion debate about St John's Square in the capital of Malta. We'd like your input about whether the article should stay and go (and if you want to expand the stub, that would be great too!)

Hi, I see you're a member of the European Microstates project. I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in a new "WikiProject:Europe"? It would cover non-EU pan European elements and more national elements where there isn't a project to cover it (e.g. there is no project for Slovenia). Microstates might also want to become a taskforce of the project to keep down overheads etc as there are just a few members. I am just trying to get an idea of numbers before I propose it but if you have comments on the idea please see the Discussion on WPEU. Thanks for your time! - J Logant: 08:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm happy that you like my idea. I tell you that i don't speak english very well and so please forgive my mistakes.
Well .. for the earlier games it's not easy to find the results and the winners, but I remember that I have found a website with the athletics (and probably swimming) winners and records. We have to look for that.
Another thing.. unfortunately you have to do the most of the work .. i'm not very expert in en.wiki and I can only give you an help.
But I can translate our work in it.wiki and you can do the same from it.wiki (i remember you this category it:Categoria:Giochi dei Piccoli Stati d'Europa).

When I saw the page, that's all I saw, and the most that I could see about notability was their nomination for a award. Looking again at WP:MUSIC, I erred. Apologies, I'll remove the tag and your {hangon} now. --Rodhullandemu02:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You nominated a current WP:FLC. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 12007, voting starting December 12007 and main page appearances starting January 12008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:
In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria.
It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, ChrisDHDR (17:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).[reply]

It's been one high aiming month! The French WikiProject and related pages have been aiming high for Christmas - and have received an equal number of presents in return!
A new page has been setup (WikiProject France/Links) to provide an index of the Projects/Portals pages (as well as helping newbees). When creating any pages in the Project/Portal namespace, please add them to the index page. This page also give WP:FRANCE members a handy watchlist.
Thanks for the advise. Actually I usually tag articles asking for citation. But, most of the time, active authors working on those articles do not care much. Interestingly when I tagged them for AfD by twisting (but not breaking) the policy mentioning that those articles don't have enough (sometime not a single) citation, they took it really seriously. To be very honest, my intention was to improve quality of Wikipedia, not to attack some particular article or author. And, I do also agree that this is actually misuse of policy. So here goes a promise, I won't do this in future. Cheers. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs)18:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This AFD was archived before I could reply. I agree that AFD is for deciding whether a n article should be kept, rather than a tool for improvement, but many times I have added refs as a result of seeing an article at AFD which improved it so that it was a far better article than when it was nominated. Thus it is a frequent side effect of AFD nomination. I have also tagged many articles as unreferenced. I did this to a number of articles a year ago, and reviewing them, I see many now have references. I don't know if the references resulted from someone moinitoring the list of articles tagged as unreferenced, or if it would have happened anyway. In a few puzzling cases, someone added references, but left the "unreferenced" tag. Some languish with no refs other than hyperlinks to other Wikipedia articles, such as He Shi Bi and Thermal optimum. Some had the "unreferenced" tag removed without any reference being added [1]. I "re-tagged" the latter article. Edison (talk) 01:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please read WP:RAT. It states: A detailed fair use rationale. A separate rationale must be provided each time the image is used in an article. The name of the article the image is used in must be included in the rationale. Whether or not the name of the article is elsewhere is irrelevant. It needs to be in the rationale section.--Rockfang (talk) 09:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will not argue with you on that though have they ever deleted an article proposed by an anonymous IP before? If that happens, then Wikipedia as a project unto itself will have lost all order. Chris (talk) 22:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that last week and I sent it to WP:AN/I though I got a luke warm response. Ditto with the abusive ISPs. They can only act on the ISPs when one of them has been blocked a minimum of five times. Chris (talk) 23:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have exposed the links in Hoey and in another female Irish triple jumper earlier tonight. Whoever is doing it seems to be pretty focused on their deletions and almost nonsensical in their efforts. Chris (talk) 04:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks as if I have ticked this user off with him coming back with the accusations on the editing though the IP evidence is beginning to prove my point. I have a strange feeling there will be repercussions on this that we have forseen. Chris (talk) 14:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have also sent heads up to other users who are involved in the fight to keep Sharon Foley that we have the Dublin connection involved on this. One of them though is an administrator, so let's see how that plays out. Chris (talk) 16:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Aoife Hoey article (formerly Aoife Hoey (bobsleigh)) was kept. I have sent a message with an administrator involved in the Sharon Foley article about this user (or users) from Dublin, Ireland to keep an eye out for this user because we may have won this battle, but this promises to be a long fight, IMO. Chris (talk) 15:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The same user from Dublin tried to get both the Hoey and the Foley articles through deletion review after he lost, but he was turned down. We have a real vandal on our hands, IMO. Chris (talk) 15:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am hitting this user with vandalism level 3 warnings on all of the Dublin, Ireland IPs as a warnings of taking no prisoners. This is going to be a long fight I fear. Chris (talk) 16:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It turns out he has also hit on the Alex Higgins article who was an Irish snooker player in the early 1990s. The main editor of that article is aware of this as well. The Dublin user is definitely POVing and vandalism. We have three or four administrators watching several of these article to see if this user(s) stirkes again which I suspect he might. Chris (talk) 15:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I red your message on the uppon mentionned page. I am sceptic about this article, because I searched for the titles and ISBN mentionned in the OCLC database and found nothing, please, have a look at ISBN 9729813701. I tried on Google books as well with "Martiniano Ferreira Botelho", but nothing. The only references about this person on the Internet are Wikipedia. If you can find any reliable reference about this person, please do not hesitate to let me know or add it directly in the article. Best regards. SalomonCeb (talk) 01:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer. No problem, I have myself the same reaction when someone ask for deletion of an article which is present on others WP. In this case, I studied more carefuly the only reference that was first given but I found nothing. Since the other references were given, I did same and nothing again. My last search was on Google and there, I found the only occurences were WP and blogs and websites of the article's writer. I am not a suppressionnist myself, but in this case, I do an exception. Best regards. SalomonCeb (talk) 08:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The original article which was created last year was not very good and one could argue about how notable Stenberg is. However, the reason that the article has been speedy deleted twice due to vandalism. The version that I deleted read simply "has tourette's". Now, a conscientious admin might have checked the earlier versions to see if there was a legitimate article behind the vandalism. Apparently, I either didn't check or was underwhelmed by the non-vandalized original page. You could make a case for restoring the original page but it was pretty awful and it would be better to write a real article instead of fighting to restore the old page.
Just because the article was deleted doesn't mean you are prohibited from creating a new one as long as the new article meets Wikipedia standards and is incompliance with Wikipedia policies.
I have restored the original article to User:Matt91486/Jeremy Stenberg. Please improve it and then move it into article namespace.
I saw your question on No57s talkpage. The main reason the criteria have been deemed no good is that edirors went to Wikipedia:Deletion review en masse citing the new criteria as the reason that their conference player should be undeleted, clogging the system, Deletion Review needed that to stop (obviously) so they undermined the criteria. I have basically given up, I hoped for a set of simple, coherent criteria by consensus, applicable to world football, believing that it would be better than Anglo-centric notability by precedent with reference to one sentence on WP:BIO, but it's been shot down. I think I'll just go back to creating articles, Wikipedia policy is obviously set in stone. (Oh and I changed my name) Englishpeasant21:52, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Officially, the city is named St. Anthony: you'll not find a "village" reference from the Census, and the city website speaks of the "City of St. Anthony". As the about page notes, it's "also affectionately called "The Village" by locals". Local nicknames don't trump official names.

Collaboration of the Month
Magic Johnson has been chosen to be our very first Collaboration of the Month article. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. The goal is to improve this article by the end of May so that it can be nominated for Featured Article status. In particular, free-use images should be found for the article, all Manual of Style guidelines should be followed, and a neutral point of view should be maintained throughout the article. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out.
Thank you for uploading Image:Alotroladoposter.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If you are interested in editing article related to the NBA, please add your name to the member list, if you have not already.
This Month in NBA History..
June 6, 1946 – In the Commodore Hotel of New York, the NBA is officially formed as the Basketball Association of America. Maurice Podoloff is named the first commissioner of the league.
Last month's Collaboration of the Month, Magic Johnson was a great success. A total of 560 edits were made to the article during the month of May, and the article was eventually nominated as a Featured Article Candidate. Although the article was not promoted, it was significantly improved through the work of many editors.
This month's Collaboration of the Month is Steve Nash. Although this is article is already a Good Article, it still can be improved. In particular, all prose should conform to Featured Article standards, all statements should be verified, and the text should be in a neutral point of view. If there is anything you can do to improve the article, then please help out.
Collaborator of the Month
The Collaborator of the Month is given to the editor with the most number of substantial, beneficial edits to the article chosen as the Collaboration of the Month.
This month's Collaborator of the Month award goes to Chensiyuan (talk·contribs). Although he had previously helped Magic Johnson to became a Good article, he made literally hundreds of edits during the month of May. For his contributions, he is rewarded with the NBA Collaborator of the Month Award.
However, all beneficial edits made by any editor was a help. Other members of the project that contributed to the article include:

I just really want to be clear on one thing. At its current state ShepBot will be adding over 340,000 articles to your project's worklist. Now that's fine by me, but that's a huge step for a project. Right now I'll just do those few categories you gave me on my talkpage. But when this is over, you guys are going to be one giant project. Of course that 340,000 is if all of those categories I gave you guys fall under your project. There's an exteremly slim chance of that, but I guess it could happen. When page 1 of those cats is double checked let me know and we'll start those as well. If you have any questions, as always feel free to drop by my page or leave me a {{talkback}}.

Sorry I'm just getting back to you concerning the post you sent me on the 1st. I was away on a family vacation the last ten days camping in New Hampshire. As far as the Ohio HS Conferences, I am in no rush to re-list the 27 articles I recommended for deletion. I think you are doing a great job, so personally you guys can have the summer to continue to keep the progress going. Therefore, it's probably premature for me to lay out a plan for the next AfD. Unfortunately for your sake most of the people who wanted these articles to stay and expanded of the discussion seem to have disappeared. Hopefully you'll get help from those especially interested in the subject matter and then we don't need to think about another AfD.

Hi Matt,
not to sound annoying or anything, but I've recently started a discussion regarding the names of Brazilian clubs on wikipedia (here) and considering the scale and importance of the clubs involved and the fact that there is no formal move request, I thought it might be a good idea to inform some of the regular WP:FOOTY contributors in order to get a consensus and not just a few opinions.

Changing the names of the Maltese village articles
There is currently an ongoing debate about whether the articles on Maltese villages should be given their English names. Kyarichy has already gone and renamed a bunch of articles such as as Kalkara citing these changes from an old obsolete paper and http://www.geody.com, even though these names are no longer in use.
The naming conventions clearly state that foreign location names commonly used in English should be used as the article names.
Hello... there is an (admittedly fairly recent) consensus on the pages that the listings will be as inclusive as possible (sticking to the usual guidelines of verifiability and still not listing obviously n.n. folk like beloved grandmas, etc.) at the time of the deaths, and the redlinks for people with articles still not written would be removed after one month of their not having an article. It generally works as an incentive for people to actually create the articles they think should exist: i did one on Danny Moss because i thought he deserved to be on the list too, for instance. i think you should be able to find discussion on the matter on the last few months' talk pages.

You removed my proposed deletion of the article Brazil–Japan relations, stating that the topic being valid is enough criteria for any article to exist. It is my opinion that the article would even meet the criteria for speedy deletion under A3, as there is nothing on the page other than links to other articles. Is there any reason the validity of a topic is enough to justify an article without content? Perhaps the article would fit better under WP:RA instead.

Yes, the Prva HNL is a professional and official league system. It is the top tier of Croatian football. The two top clubs, Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split have both had history in the Champions League and UEFA Cup throughout recent years; Dinamo has qualified for the UEFA cup once again this year, meaning that the league itself (and all the teams) are officially registered with UEFA as the top professional league of Croatia. Yes it is difficult to find references for such. I have done my broad best, and hopefully this will help you. Domiy (talk) 22:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Matt91486! An article you have been involved with has been tagged by its parent project as needing attention to conflicting information. If you can help with these issues please see Talk:Worcester Wolves, and leave any comments there.
I don't understand why you reverted my changes as they were all unsourced, although at least you and others have subsequently found some sources. As for bias, well strangely I actually want Wikipedia to have extensive content, although it does seem there's not enough of us, and there's plenty of people ready to say x league 'fails' ATH. Eldumpo (talk) 21:22, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your response, but surely facts such as the ones we're discussing have to be sourced for a page to have much meaning. Anyway, my edits have perhaps helped in pushing forward sources for the whole list, though I know various have been trying this for a while. I have added a soruce for Netherlands. I'm glad you're an inclusionist - I look forward to some 'keep' responses from you at AfD Eldumpo (talk) 21:39, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Matt91486. You have new messages at Eldumpo's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. warrior432123:21, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
On September 14, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Caleb Green (basketball player), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Milligan's real name is Walter S. Milligan. He went almost exclusively by Mike. He was a guard on some of the legendary Pitt football teams from 1930-1932 under Jock Sutherland. He coached freshman at Pitt through 1939 and then took a coaching job at Florida before ending up at Tulsa. At least by 1946 he was back as an assistant at Pitt and then moved into the head coaching position from 1947-1949 (where he had two relatively successful 6-3 seasons). He later went on to become a notable line coach including at USC (1950) and Purdue (1951-?). He is much better known for his football coaching. The article should actually be moved to Mike Milligan (coach) or Walter Milligan (per WP:UCN) Walter S. "Mike" Milligan or Walter "Mike" Milligan. He was inducted into the Aliquippa Sports Hall of Fame in 1974. He certainly is notable, but the article is currently named for a relatively obscure line on his coaching resume and that should be corrected. CrazyPaco (talk) 00:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine for the move. I had no idea he had coached at Tulsa so there is no way I would have thought that was him until you brought it to my attention. It's interesting he took on basketball for a year. Thanks for contacting me about it! CrazyPaco (talk) 03:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, you commented on the speedy rename nomination of the above category. I have now started a CfR to get proper consensus; the discussion can be found here. Regards, GiantSnowman01:03, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Matt91486! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 22 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hi Matt91486, I just came across one of your articles at newpage patrol, and was surprised to see that an editor who has been contributing articles since 2003 hadn't already been approved as an wp:Autoreviewer. So I've taken the liberty of rectifying that. ϢereSpielChequers22:51, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ska shrine article merged to skank (dance)--now deleted
Hi Matt91486--I see you merged my ska shrine article into the skank (dance) article. That seemed like a good idea to me, especially because I was lacking current references (although some are forthcoming), but it's now been completely deleted along with some brief additions I had made to skank (dance) by an editor named spylab. My dance references were kept but that's it. Any advice on how to save ska shrine? I've also asked editor Michig, who originally marked it for deletion before you merged it. Thanks much. --Utilizer (talk) 00:50, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Matt91486. I am just letting you know that I deleted J.m. allain, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. (talk→BWilkins←track) 10:46, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You found a number of references for this article and mentioned them in the AFD, could you please add them to the article? --RadioFan (talk) 13:18, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have nominated Jan Gangelhoff, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jan Gangelhoff. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
I have seen that you edited some volleyball articles. Some players articles, most of them looks outdated. I would like to improve players by country. Could you please choose a country to contribute with? Please take a look on Yekaterina Gamova, Hélia Souza, Serena Ortolani and Kenia Carcaces for a model to follow. Please can you please improve some volleyball players with infobox and some addons? References are very important. Let me know. Oscar987 23:19, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
I was wondering if you have any further knowledge of the country to provide sourcing at the page? Then it should be set for ITN.Lihaas (talk) 18:00, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not opposed to adding in "nationality" or "club" back into the list, and I'm open to discussion on that front. I think that the "jersey number" column didn't really add anything to the list however. As for the stats, I don't think it would be that hard to update since I would only be adding new players to the list a few times during the course of the season, and I'd be updating about 20 players stats at the end of the season.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Minnesota Twins all-time roster, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eric Fryer. 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.
Hello Matt91486. I wonder if you would be kind enough to spare me a couple of seconds of your time. My name is CharlieTheCabbie and I am active as a participant at the Malta WikiProject. I notice that you are listed as a member of the project. It appears to have been a long time since the project was active and, in the hope of fixing stuff, I am trying to hunt out all the editors who still interested in working on it. If you would be kind enough to go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Malta/Members and indicate whether you are still active or, if not, please move yourself to the Inactive Members section.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mermaid (2000 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Showtime (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I guess I only find it an issue if I consider it a finished list, which I don't, per Wikipedia:FINISHED. If the topic itself is intrinsically notable, then I think there should be an article on it, even if that article as such is not in particularly good shape. The early signs are that the AfD is going to agree with your perspective on it, it looks like. matt91486 (talk) 04:28, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
