An editor has asked for a deletion review of Aleksandrs Čekulajevs. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biruitorul implied that your IQ is low, and I figured I'd let you know. --Madmans stone (talk) 20:10, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

He may have meant that his own edits were responsible for the perceived change. Who knows? --Michig (talk) 20:26, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Who indeed? Meanwhile, let me note that Madmans stone, like earlier incarnations Ondskan2 and Redroom2, is a sockpuppet of banned User:Anittas. (Note the pattern of stalking me, Dahn and Anonimu.) It would be prudent to block him and strike his two votes in deletion discussions. - Biruitorul ^Talk 20:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel there is a case here, please open a sockpuppet report, as I will be offline for the next day or so. --Michig (talk) 20:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you opine on this this matter. Regards AdabowtheSecond (talk) 18:31, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Michig,

I am assisting the Artist Da’ville (Singer) to update his Wikipedia page – Da’ville wrote the bio himself, plus amended some other data which was incorrect, for example the record company names etc., plus he sent me a new photo that he wished to be uploaded and used. I sent an email to wiki admin confirming copyright and legality of the photograph; I received positive confirmation of my request. I have rechecked Da’ville’s Wikipedia page and I have noticed that you have amended the page back to the old version, where the details including bio is incorrect? I have reinstated the correct version and I would respectfully request that you allow the correct content to remain! If you require confirmation from the artist himself then please contact me Paul_Tandy@hotmail.com and I will pass his contact details over to you!

Thank you for your reply, just for re-clarification, the source of the information updated was from the artist himself and not my personal view! Clearly you prefer none bonafide information rather than from the person whose life is being written about? The image you continue to use is an old image and for this reason I requested and had approved from Wikipedia admin to use, I would ask that you would kindly reinstate this image please. Also, I note that you have removed Daville’s Date of birth? Daville himself confirmed to me that his DOB on the old version was incorrect? I understand that some of the new content could be seen as self-publication; therefore I agree that maybe some of the content was outside of Wikipedia rules - That said a lot of the new content which you have removed was correct information. If the information being supplied is by the very person himself, then I am therefore miffed as to why you continue to disbelieve the new content supplied. Once again in the interest of the truth, I would ask you to email me so I can provide you the contact person who will confirm that some of the information you persist to allow to go public is incorrect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paultandy (talk • contribs) 19:08, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Information needs to be verifiable and sourced. If you have any specific issues with the article as it is, please discuss them on the article's talk page (Talk:Da'Ville). Thanks. --Michig (talk) 11:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of National League Pairs Championship, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://uk.ask.com/wiki/Speedway_Elite_League_Pairs_Championship.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Some of the content was based on our Premier League Pairs Championship article, which the ask.com article is simply a mirror of. --Michig (talk) 11:48, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I didn't mean to revert you on the word Anglian, we just got caught up in editing at the same time. Sorry you had to make the edit twice. Regards, WWGB (talk) 09:57, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I saw that you removed the PROD from Sacrifice (band). It appears that you are an expert (or at least very knowledgable) in the subject area, and I won't bother with taking the article to AfD. However, I am frustrated that the article has existed for over a year without any sourcing; and that you gave information in your edit summary that I have been unable to verify. It may very well be that Sacrifice is notable and meets WP:NBAND per item #5 (two or more albums on a major label), but outside of Allmusic I have been completely unable to verify even that.

Would you consider revisiting the article and providing some RS if you have them? I don't really have an interest in starting to remove the unsourced material, but there is contentious material there. Thanks for your consideration, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 17:54, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see what I can do. Might have time this evening otherwise will look at it tomorrow.--Michig (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks... It's not my subject area, but I'll take a look later in the week too. Cheers! --Tgeairn (talk) 06:45, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, do you have any Stone Roses bios on hand? How are their quality, reliability, sourcing, and comprehensiveness? I bought an issue of Q lately with the Roses on the cover, and the cover story was written by someone with a new bio about the band coming out that sounded pretty thorough. WesleyDodds (talk) 13:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've got John Robb's book (The Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop) which is pretty good - a lot of it's first hand, and it covers the early history quite well, although Robb is quite close to the band so it perhaps puts a more positive slant on some of the things that went on than others might, but he has an insight that someone simply sifting through old sources wouldn't have. It looks like his new book from earlier this year is an update on this. Mick Middles and Simon Spence also have books on the Roses out recently (I think the Q article was by Spence), but I don't have either - not a fan of the band to be honest. I started working through the Stone Roses article using the John Robb book as a source but gave up at about the release of the first album (The Stone Roses rather than the dire Garage Flower) for several reasons. --Michig (talk) 13:47, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

		The Original Barnstar
		Great work finding the sources for Bark Bark Bark. That inspired me to take another look through the Interwebs where I found a couple decent write-ups on Jacob Cooper/Safari. I also agree with your suggestion to rename the article so that it incorporates his previous bands/projects. For this, and all of your excellent contributions to AfD, I want to thank you with this barnstar!  Gongshow Talk 06:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. And thanks for digging deeper into the subject in question - hopefully we'll end up with a reasonable article at the end of this. It's a constant challenge to get editors to look beyond the current state of articles and to consider options other than deletion, and it's always good when people are prepared to change their mind, so thanks for that as well.--Michig (talk) 18:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I know what you mean. Two of my favorite lines I've seen around here are "Unsourced ≠ Unsourceable" and "Redirects are cheap". Cheers,  Gongshow ^Talk 20:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
