message: AfD nomination of Dennis Wayne Hall
In regards to the Dennis Wayne Hall Article, how can I make sure I satisfy the Wiki criteria?  
I am currently adding his character in Carnival, as well would like to add photos.  Mr.  Hall has given me permission to use his personal photos.  What is the process of having the photos approved?  
Thank you. (LMA2007 22:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: source for running time claim

message: This article is poorly written, sourced, and developed and is missing a majority of its information. The article mostly consists of a plot summary and many of the article's sections need to be expanded so as to gie the article more balanced coverage. Many of the article's sections are unsourced and underdeveloped and should be expanded and given proper citations. The reception section is also underdeveloped and needs reviews from notable critics added to it as well. All of these changes and additions need to occur in order for this article to meet Wikipiedia's standards of a well developed and properly sourced article.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:16, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Ropa vieja

message: Ropa Vieja is one of the many imports to Cuba, the Caribbean and South America that comes from the Canary Islands, Spain. The dialects of the Caribbean, especially Cuba, as well as Venezuela, were mostly formed from Canarian Spanish.
It is likely that this dish is not from the Canary Islands but from Southern Spain, the place of origin of most of the colonizers of these islands in the 15th-16th century. It is actually a popular dish in many Andalusian towns still today while Andalusian Spanish is also a strong influence of Caribbean Spanish. It is always difficult to distinguish between Canarian and Andalusian influences regarding Caribbean traditions. --Cervantista (talk)   —Preceding undated comment added 09:49, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

message: An unregistered poster added:
"According to a recent Cuban immigrant to South Florida, ropa vieja is a dish that was influenced by the considerable Russian population that resided in Cuba during the cold war. According to this source the Russians made a stew using brisket that was adapted by the Cubans and called ropa vieja. Since there are no sources cited in the above explanation of the dish, I wonder if the citation by a recent immigrant might have some validity."
This unsourced addition seems at odds with the rest of the article, which indicates the dish is not a recent Cuban invention. Perhaps this tale is a recent Cuban invention, not the dish itself. -- Beardo (talk) 16:15, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Avicephala

message: Creating an entire Wikipedia article for this clade may have been premature. Only 1 phylogenetic analysis has upheld this clade  Senter, PS (2004): http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S1477201904001427, while other more global data sets of stem-diapsid/diapsid reptiles have not recovered it, finding Coelurosauravus to be a basal neodiapsid, and drepanosaurids to be the sister group to kuhneosaurs, with both clades either being non-saurians or basal lepidosauromorphs Müller, J. (2004): The relationships among diapsid reptiles and the influence of taxon selection. – in: Arratia, G., Cloutier, R., & Wilson, V. H. (eds.): Recent Advances in the Origin and Early Radiation of Vertebrates: 379-408, München (Dr. Friedrich Pfeil).Bickelmann, C. et al. (2009): http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nrc/cjes/2009/00000046/00000009/art00002. Drepanosaurids have also been reported as being primitive archosauromorphs Renesto S. & Binelli G. (2006) “’’Vallesaurus Cenensis’’ Wild, 1991, A Drepanosaurid (Reptilia, Diapsida): From the Late Triassic of Northern Italy”, Riv. It. Paleont. Strat. 112: 77-94, Milano. This analysis used an only slightly modified version of Senter's data set and finds drepanosaurids as being archosauriform sister taxa, more derived than "prolacertiform"-grade archosauromorphs. Taxonomic sampling issues are probably at play in all three possibilities, but work by Müller offers the largest global solutions for addressing this problem.

Talk:Vavilovian mimicry

message: I removed the word 'male' from the caption on the mirror bee orchid, although I'd also like to see a source that it's mimicking wasps, given its name. But with the word 'male', it was suggesting that male wasps were drawn to the fake-male wasp. Possible, but seems unlikely. Since I don't know which was supposed to be male, and couldn't find a source, I removed the word. Happy to readd it with a source.
I also rearranged a sentence to remove the phrase 'at the hand of man' :)
I removed the sentence at the beginning of the paragraph on the flax-dodder since it wasn't clear that the plant actually is parasitic, and the sentence as written suggested that parasitic plants are vavilovian mimics in general, which I'm sure it wasn't supposed to suggest. Again, a nice source describing the flax-dodder as a parasite would allow a few nice sentences to be added. 
Nice work though, I love the article. Clearly written, nicely explained, doesn't shy away from scientific terms. Skittle 10:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that, not sure how I managed to suggest it was a male that was being mimicked... As for the parasitic plant, that's what it says in an article, though I'm not 100% sure if it's a true parasitic plant. Richard001 10:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has been deleted before, and for the same reasons why I am nominating it for deletion now. These so called 'PSCs' are nothing more than computer clusters! A few motherboards packed into a custom case and networked with commodity interconnects such as gigabit Ethernet sounds very much like a cluster to me. This class of supercomputer is already extensively covered in articles such as computer cluster and Beowulf_(computing). It does not need its own separate articles just because a handful of companies are making these self contained clusters and calling them personal supercomputers. Further more, I do not think that promoting one's self for starting this article in the article's talk page adheres to Wikipedia policy. Rilak (talk) 04:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Your best bet, then, is to create a proposed article in your userspace (e.g., at User:Likebox/AP; someone may suggest that you thereafter blank the page and reference the content only with a link to the unblanked version, but I'll hope that no one should be so silly) and then list Archimedes Plutonium at deletion review, noting that that you have new information that would suggest that the previous decision to delete should be revisited (I'm sure I'd be willing to help should you need help navigating DRV; the instructions are pretty good, though); whether anyone will care to address the issue more than cursorily is, of course, a separate question (more than a handful of BLPs have, one regrets to say, taken the following course: article survives multiple AfDs and is renominated until a discussion can be [or at least is] closed as "delete", after which those who  argue for a more restrictive construction of BLP regard the question as closed and reject out-of-hand any attempt to resuscitate it), but, rightly or wrongly, your only recourse is to present to the community at DRV a new version of the article that attempts to address the issues that led to deletion at AfDs three and four.
