Original post at User talk:Quarl/Archive 2006-11#Reconsider speedy deletion of SleepResearch_Facility

I see you are the admin who deleted the article on SleepResearch_Facility (SR_F). I wish to contest this speedy deletion. It was deleted due to CSD A7 (not notable). Here is my evidence for the notability of the artist, using two criteria.

"Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)."

SR_F has released two albums on Manifold Records, and one album on Cold Spring Records.

Cold Spring is an independent label with a history of more than a few years (began in 1990 [1]) with a roster of performers (45 artists [2]), many of which are notable. Cold Spring artists with Wikipedia entries, in rough order of notability: Psychic TV, Genesis P-Orridge, Merzbow, Z'EV, Sol Invictus, Laibach, Masonna, C.C.C.C., Werkraum, Shinjuku Thief, The Grey Wolves, Von Thronstahl, A Challenge of Honour, Zos Kia, Kreuzweg Ost, Crash Worship, Sutcliffe Jugend.

Manifold Records is an independent label with a history of more than a few years (began in 1993 [3]) with a roster of performers (31 artists [4]), many of which are notable. Manifold Records artists with Wikipedia entries, in rough order of notability: Steve Roach (Manifold release [5]), Maeror Tri, Robert Rich, DJ Spooky, Maurizio Bianchi, Arto Lindsay, Aube, Paul Schütze, Lull, Rapoon, Final, Alan Licht, Beequeen.

"Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers (although university newspapers are usually fine), personal blogs, etc.)."

Steve Roach, one of the biggest names in ambient music, has written a very positive review [6] of SR_F's albums Dead Weather Machine and Dead Weather Machine_Re:Heat on his official website [7], and even sold the album from his mail order online store [8] while stocks lasted.

Between 1997 and 2003, AmbiEntrance (at Internet Archive [9]) was one of the definitive websites for ambient, electronic and experimental music. It individually reviewed approximately 900 albums, and interviewed over 50 artists, including big names such as Steve Roach, Terre Thaemlitz, In The Nursery, Richard Bone, Taylor Deupree, Robert Rich, Muslimgauze, Paul Haslinger and Lustmord. It reviewed SR_F's album Nostromo, and gave it a high rating (8.9 out of 10) [10].

SR_F's work has also been broadcast on Dutch Radio 4FM, very positively reviewed [11] [12] at Aural Pressure, and is sold [13] [14] at the famous Hypnos Online Store.

I consider that to be sufficient evidence for SR_F to be "notable"! -- Slowspace 18:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comprehensive message. I've undeleted the article SleepResearch_Facility. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-11-27 20:22Z

Original post at User talk:Uthanc#Silmarillion userbox

Just a quick note to say many thanks for your Silmarillion userbox {{User:Uthanc/userboxes/Sil}}. It's one of my all-time favourite books, and I've got the gorgeous hardback version illustrated by Ted Nasmith. I like your wording in the userbox – many LOTR fans probably haven't even heard of the Sil! Looks like you're working damn hard on loads of Tolkien-related stuff... keep up the good work! :-) --Slowspace 03:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just try to contribute what I know. Uthanc 05:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Original post at User_talk:Metamagician3000#Second Life - thanks

Just to say thanks for the good work you're doing on the Second Life article. I see it was proposed as an FA candidate at the end of Dec 2006, but rejected (not surprisingly). I've been working on it a bit recently, and I intend to continue helping until it's in better shape and can be put up for peer review. With everyone's help, maybe we can get it to FA status one day :) —Slowspace 16:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I replied as follows on my talk page: Thanks. Yes, I'd like to get it through the usual processes, culminating in another FA application. The first one was rather premature, but it did focus me on thinking about what would have to happen for the article to be a genuine FA contender. Metamagician3000 22:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At Talk:Second Life, you wrote: "As Pak says, try the Second Life: Technical Issues forum.". Unfortunately, there's a bit of a chicken and egg situation here: you need to be logged in to read that, and you can't log in until you've logged onto SL at least once, and you can't log in to SL until you've got the viewer running... but this isn't really a Wikipedia problem :-) Cheers --Pak21 08:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder about the forum requirements! I've replied on the SL talk page. —Slowspace 12:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're wanting to keep this file updated, you might want to take a peak at some of the work I've been doing with the SL Maps API. Until Jeff (Linden) gets the map data exposed again- my source of updates was pulled around about the 12th of April (see Torley's announcement on the public bug tracker), the world map data I have is frozen around the 11th/12th of April.

You're welcome- let me know if there's any extra tools I can add to the API to make it easier to get the composited map.

Thanks for uploading Image:Second Life map.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:SleepResearch Facility.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? —Remember the dot ^(talk) 00:17, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
