Dbowman comments

SamC, very curious about your affiliation with Southern Virginia. I'm just doing a little research on the beginnings of the place and would love to get in touch...not sure how to email you through this Wikipedia thing.

WVU

I saw your comment on the WVU talk page. Feel free to edit the article and expand on it if you can. I haven't gotten around to writing a larger history section just because of my schedule. I have been wanting to spruce it up a bit though. As mentioned though, go ahead and edit yourself where you see it appropriate and Be Bold. (As far as the band goes, they are exceptional because they are constantly regarded as one of the nations best university bands and winners of the Sudler Trophy. They are also such a large group on campus it is worth keeping on here). --ScottyBoy900Q 17:24, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kanawah State Forest

Kanawha State Forest is not a day use facility during the summer, as camping is allowed. WVhybrid 23:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to day use has been corrected. SamC, I was wondering if you have a reference to the legislation that changed the status of Kanawha State Forest? A year of passage, bill number, law section, etc., would be helpful. Thank you. WVhybrid 23:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

West Virginia Turnpike

Any reason you removed substantial information from the West Virginia Turnpike page? The section you modified, relating to the future of the Turnpike, has relevant information on future development projects relating to a new interchange and bond payments. If not, it will be restored.

Edits to Capito and Callaghan

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!

Thant being said, I am thinking of putting the articles on Callaghan and Wolfe up for WP:AfD, as they have no claim to fame except for losing the races this year. Wakim, however, would stay as memebers of a state legislature meet WP:BIO. What do you think? youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments on the Capito page...

I have tried to address your concerns on the article. Your edits at first seemed odd (mainly due to blanking and lack of an edit summary), but upon review I can totally see your point. Have you checked out Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Callaghan yet? Since you are familiar with WV politics, I would value your opinion. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 01:00, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Coca-cola bottling of northern new england

A tag has been placed on Coca-cola bottling of northern new england requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Dawn Bard (talk) 00:11, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Charleston Gazette-Mail

A tag has been placed on Charleston Gazette-Mail requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. -NerdyScienceDude :) (✉ click to talk • my edits) 01:57, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WVTS/WBES

The factual accuracy of these pages are intact. The pages are up-to-date according to FCC.gov. If you have information that is different, you will need reliable third-party sources to back that information up. At current, WBES remains on AM 1240 and WVTS remains on AM 950 according to the Federal Communications Commission. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 09:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The FCC data base only records technical information. This station has changed formats and the update is constantly reverted by a vandal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SamC (talk • contribs)

That is incorrect. The FCC handles up-to-date call sign information. So if WBES moves to AM 950, the FCC database would have that information. They do not. All call sign change information MUST go through the FCC first or it doesn't happen. No call sign changes or other information has been issued to the FCC, so your information is false. As such, I have marked you twice for vandalism. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 00:04, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bob Bastress

A tag has been placed on Bob Bastress requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Glen Woodall. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources.

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to West Virginia State Police. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 14:39, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello SamC! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. 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 this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hello, SamC! I welcome a lot of new school page authors to Wikipedia, and I would like to thank you for your contribution. Unfortunately, the page you created, at James Monroe High School (West Virginia), didn't quite work out according to the school page guidelines, and needs some very rapid attention.

When you've made the fixes, you can take your time for the rest, so you'll want to read up on Your First Article and check out:

Speedy deletion nomination of Williamson Daily News

Hello SamC,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Williamson Daily News for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

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, Danrok (talk) 11:48, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I declined the deletion. Asserting something to be a long-standing newspaper is a clear indication of possible importance, and enough to pass speedy. However, all Wikipedia articles must be referenced. Since you obtained the information from somewhere (you refer on Damrok's tp. to "standard lists") you are responsible for adding it, and adding it immediately when making the article is easiest and best, for you have the information at hand.

In addition to standard lists, there is usually references to such newspapers in local histories, and it would be good to add this also, in order to prevent possible challenges at AfD . As a quick way, Google Books often finds something. But if it does not, any librarian at a large library can help. DGG ( talk ) 15:46, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Richie Robb

The article Richie Robb has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Mayor of a city of 13,000 is not a notability pass. Otherwise he has lost several elections.

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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Evan Jenkins (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.)

You said at Talk:John A. Hutchinson The previous version was from the Court's website, which is NOT COPYRIGHTED. Can you point out to me, as I can't find it, where it says the work is not copyrighted and is public domain. The absence of a claim of copyright is not proof that work isn't copyrighted as creation of the work creates copyright and AFAIK West Virginia is not a state that has made any category of state works public domain as works of the federal government are.

Hello, SamC,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Onel5969 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Paul T. Farrell, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion.The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now-visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

Edit the page
Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Click Publish Changes button.

But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Onel5969}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
