== Regarding your comment on ask123's [[User:Ask123|ask123]] ([[User talk:Ask123|talk]]) talk page ==

Perhaps if you correctly interpreted what I wrote on the [[Talk:Bobby_Jindal|Bobby Jindal talk page]], you would have realized that I am saying that it is, in my opinion, '''OKAY''' for you to edit the article so long as you provide credible sources and abide by other Wikipedia policies. So far, you have, and, thus, I see '''NO''' problem with your edits. Perhaps if you were less aggressive, you would be more popular and, ultimately, successful in your ventures. [[User:Ask123|ask123]] ([[User talk:Ask123|talk]]) 01:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:: Yes, you did say that IF I post in a manner consistant with Wikipedia policy that I should be able to continue to edit the article. Of course, everyone has to follow the rules and guidelines of editing pages on wikipedia so restating that seems to be a little redundant. However, the tone of your post, including ''' "One thing to point out is that his interests are clearly not with providing any useful information on Bobby Jindal."''' and '''"But, be advised, Mr. Zimmerman, you may not turn this article into a negative campaign ad or use any part of this article to that end."''', is what prompted me to leave a message on your talk page. I see no aggression in my post to you. Just a suggestion and a request. [[User:DanielZimmerman|DanielZimmerman]] ([[User talk:DanielZimmerman#top|talk]]) 13:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh sorry, I missed that thread. Hope I didn't seem too rude for not replying! It's twice I've done that this week. Pages are only protected in rare cases, and when the page is receiving uncontrollably heavy amounts of vandalism. The page isn't receiving heavy bouts of vandalism, and the vandalism is being reverted quickly, so protection isn't an option at the moment. Two instances of vandalism since the last request isn't justification. Hope this helps. Best, [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] [[User talk:PeterSymonds|<small>(talk)</small>]] 13:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

:Alright, you've won me over. :) I've changed my mind and protected it for a week. That'll give the article some breathing space. It got me thinking that many admins would protect a page with less disruption and maybe I'm too lenient at times (it's not been the first time). Sorry for the hassle! Best, [[User:PeterSymonds|PeterSymonds]] [[User talk:PeterSymonds|<small>(talk)</small>]] 13:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

==ID==
If you are going to mention ID, you need to mention what it is, ie what the scientific community defines it as well as the way courts see it regarding public schools.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bobby_Jindal&diff=221092917&oldid=221076686] You have reverted every single change that ANY user other than yourself has made to the page. [[User:Paper45tee|Paper45tee]] ([[User talk:Paper45tee|talk]]) 18:16, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
:: Wrong. I don't have to define what ID is. All you have to do is provide a wikilink to ID where ID is already defined. I have reverted every single change so far made by every other user for the reasons listed on the Bobby Jindal page. And while we are supposed to "be bold" on Wikipedia, we are also supposed to form a consensus. 
:: Furthermore, your edits on the wikipedia page for Jindal serve less to inform people about what ID is and more to bash Jindal for his support of it. And while I agree with you that ID is not science and belongs nowhere near the science classroom I will repeat that wikipedia is not a soapbox.

==You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron==
[[File:Barnstar search rescue.png|100px|right|thumb| [[WP:Article Rescue Squadron|Article Rescue Squadron]] ]]

I noticed that you are part of [[:Category:Wikipedians against notability]]. 

I would like to invite you to join the [[Wikipedia:ARS#How_to_become_a_member_of_Article_Rescue_Squadron|Article Rescue Squadron]].  Although  '''Rescue Squadron members do not share any official position on notability''', and are simply focused on rescuing articles for deletion, you may find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.  

Caveat: I am writing this as  an individual, not as a representative of Article Rescue Squadron. [[User:Ikip|Ikip]] ([[User talk:Ikip|talk]]) 19:58, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

==Speedy deletion of [[:File:Nonot.JPG]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:File:Nonot.JPG]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#I1|section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:File:Nonot.JPG|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[ Talk:File:Nonot.JPG|the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  <!-- Template:Db-redundantimage-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Mintrick|Mintrick]] ([[User talk:Mintrick|talk]]) 04:47, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

<big>'''Hi, {{BASEPAGENAME}}, welcome to the [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|Article Rescue Squadron]] WikiProject!'''</big> 
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|nominated for deletion]]. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

! style="background-color: #CDF;" | Some points that may be helpful:
|-
| style="border: solid 1px red; padding: 8px; background-color: light yellow;" |

* WikiProject Article rescue squadron's (ARS) main aim is to help improve Wikipedia articles and content. If someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.

* Sometimes we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]] and [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|sourcing]] policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Sometimes editors who are new to Wikipedia may perceive the deletion of "their" article as discouraging. Encourage [[Wikipedia:Civility|civility]] and maybe even {{tl|welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.

* The ''Articles for deletion'' (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process|Introduction to deletion process]] gives a good overview and some [[Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process#Advice for newcomers to deletion|good advice for newcomers to deletion]].

* Our primary work is improving Wikipedia articles and content. A more dynamic list with article links and descriptions are located at [[Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/Rescue list|our rescue list]].

* If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to [[Wikipedia:Translators available| the list of translators available]]. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.

* Many important discussions take place on the project's [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|main discussion page]]; it is recommended that you [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron|action=watch}} watchlist it].

If you have any questions, feel free to [[Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron|ask on the talk page]], and we will be happy to help you.

== Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted at LSU ==

Hi!  I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian in Louisiana.  The [[Wikipedia:Ambassadors|Wikipedia Ambassador Program]] is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Louisiana State University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester.  The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are ''not'' required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Baton Rouge and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please [[Special:EmailUser/Sross_(Public_Policy)|email me]] or leave a message on my talk page.--[[User:Sross (Public Policy)|Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation]] ([[User talk:Sross (Public Policy)|talk]]) 17:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

== Nomination of [[:Jeff Crouere]] for deletion ==
<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[:Jeff Crouere]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeff Crouere]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.<!-- Template:afd-notice --> [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 18:45, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

== ThoughtAudio Review Request ==

I am seeking independent and neutral viewpoints on the article [[ThoughtAudio]], which is being considered for deletion. If you have a few minutes to review it, I would appreciate your article contributions and opinion on the decision as to whether it merits being retained and improved, or deleted. ThoughtAudio was targeted by the same editor that made a failed attempt to delete the wikiquote article [[q:Michael Scott Gallegos|Michael Scott Gallegos]]. There are only 3 reviews/votes so far. I am hoping that a minority viewpoint as to the worthiness of the article will not prevail. My work is mainly in the creation of new wikiquote articles @[[q:User:ELApro|ELApro]] and time is rarely spent in unproductive controversy. I am a long time editor for Wikipedia, but have not created many articles here. I would much appreciate your advice and/or contributions with regard to the process.
