Hi Pecopteris, I see that you've started a category for barbarians. Unfortunately, I've put it up for deletion, but I invite you to add your comments to the deletion process here: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_May_6#NEW_NOMINATIONS. Good luck on your newly founded WikiProject and I hope that you continue editing Wikipedia (don't take this proposed deletion personally, it happens all the time, even to me). -- CapitalR ( talk) 15:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Rkitko, and thank you very much for the warm welcome! I have already started an arcticle, but it is not making much progress, could you please help me out? The arcticle is Pecopteris. I was wondering this as well: How do you start a WikiProject without "suggesting" it?
I'll be gald to help, but I haven't been around here all that much longer than you. I think our best bet is just to copy and edit other people's userboxes and article classifications. As for the stubs, I'll do some research. By the way, I didn't know the project was up for deletion, or I wouldn't have joined so quickly. It's better to have the project firmly agreed upon before we move straight into it. As it is, I'me stickin' with you and trying to keep it going, but I definitely think a name change would be a good idea. "Barbarians" is a bit of an offensive term. I like the "Nomadic Europeans of classical antiquity" idea, although I'm not sure it has exactly the same scope. We probably ought to ask a few of the people from related categories if they want to join.-- -G.T.N. ( talk) 16:27, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I moved the original page to the one named above because of a namespace typo. -- Menti sock 23:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, it looks to me like Wikipedia:WikiProject Picts has the same problem as the whole Barbarians thing. Only two members, no discussion that I can find about creating it, and POV language (calling Picts "barbarians"). I'd suggest Picts would find more interest and coverage under either WP:CELTS or WP:SCOTLAND. We already have folks in those Wikiprojects working on those things. I think we should delete this for the same reasons as Barbarians, and if there's enough interest, perhaps in the future it could fork off one of those other projects (Celts or Scotland).

Hello Pecopteris. As you might or might not be aware of by now, the unilaterally created project entitled "Barbarians" is not being met with enthusiasm. In fact, a few people - myself included - are rather disappointed with it. I have expressed my concerns in the discussion to delete the Category "Barbarians", and everyone there has agreed that it should either be deleted or, at the very least, renamed to something more appropriate. I hope that you have taken those comments seriously, and are currently considering a change in direction concerning your contribution to Wikipedia.
As I think you were aware, it is generally standard procedure to suggest or nominate the creation of a project prior to creating it. This is done in order to assure that the proposed project will have enough support from the community to prevent its becoming inactive, and thus simply wasting server space and cluttering up talkpages with disused banners. (There are ca. 250 currently inactive WikiProjects on Wikipedia.) 5 members are considered the minimum membership which would justify the creation of a project. As it stands, your project has 2 members - one of which is in favour of renaming it to something else. I request that you seriously reconsider your undertaking. Thanks. — Aryaman (Enlist!) 18:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
So does this mean you'd also agree with deleting the Barbarians portal? - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦ ♫ 05:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi - a stub template, category, or redirect which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness... wha? 04:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Pecopteris. As we now have enough members, I have been getting ready to set up WikiProject Ancient Germanic studies and have posted some notes and random odds and ends in my sandbox. You can observe the current state of affairs here. I will be creating the project page in the next few days so that we can discuss the proposed elements. However, if you see anything that you feel requires immediate correction, feel free to contact me with the details. Thanks. — Aryaman (Enlist!) 23:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Pecopteris. Thanks again for signing up to the WikiProject Ancient Germanic studies. We have just set up the project's base page, and you are invited to read through the guidelines, policies and suggestions, as well as to participate in the current discussions on the project's talk page. Thanks again. — Aryaman (talk) 15:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Regarding your recent edit to Matthew Leone, i do not regard this as offensive. Remember, wikipedia is not censored. Riverpeopleinvasion ( talk) 21:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Why did you delete Brand Asset Consulting? It is only a link from Brand Asset Valuator and a brief description of the company, not an advertisement.
I only tagged it for speedy deletion, I didn't delete it. It was a recreated form of an already deleted page.-- Pecopteris ( talk) 17:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I moved this into its own article Erp (Pict) so that Erp can redirect to the ERP disambiguation page. Eraserhead1 ( talk) 19:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on PHBSA 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 club, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.
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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Aah, gotcha. But what about adding the characters under a "in fiction" section? Rwiggum ( Talk/ Contrib) 23:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
I just put together a page here for the taskforce. I didn't have time to make it very sophisticated, so now it pretty much amounts to an article and participant's list.
By the way, sorry I haven't done anything on the Barbarian Project. I've been doing more research on the Celts and intend on getting back to that, as well as the Picts. --- G. T. N. —Preceding comment was added at 02:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, My name is Lou and I am writing to see if you can help. I am new to Wikipedia world. I went to the link that brought me to Portable boat lift at Wikipedia because I manufacture a "Portable Boat Lift" which I believe is the one and only portable boat lift. I don't want to knock the guys at sunstream corp out of the listing but their lift is as portable as any other lift. That is to say, you can pretty much describe anything as portable. I've seen houses taken up from their foundations and transported to another location. Portable to me is the difference between a Skill Saw and a Table Saw in a cabinet shop. Yeah, you can say the table saw is portable if you can get it out the door and on a truck but that is not its function and neither is it the function of the Lifts listed as portable at the sunstream website. My Lift is by definition, as well Wikipedias is at their Portibility definition listing, Portable.I just wanted to know your thoughts on this since I think I see that you have edited this page before. My website is www.portableboatlift.com. I think it would be the intent of Wikipedia to show products that more closely define the term "portable boat lift". It seems sunstream found a little nitche here that may not be applicable but has certainly given them sole ownership of "portable boat lift" at Wikipedia. I think their listing should be under "boat lifts" and ours should be at "portable boat lift" if Wikipedia is intent on providing a more appropriate representation of what portable boat lift means. Sorry to bug you but I am not sure where else to go for an opinion. You can reach me through my website. Thanks Lou
Wikipedia:WikiProject Picts, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion.

Request for some time for article Terry BrivalRespected Sir, I am working on the article Terry Brival, The User:Angelgirl1992 gave some flag attributes to it but when I corrected those errors and removed the attributes. She marked the page for deletion. Please grant me some time as I am working on the article. It would be really helpful. Thank You.
