"ignoring"
Please don't attribute motives; I've been hideously busy this past week (including attending a con) and that is why I didn't review DYK suggestions as much as I usually do.
That said, re: the Carriger GN - cool! Do we have any word yet on the artist? DS (talk) 20:35, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- Not yet, but I'm now following Carriger on Facebook so when she announces details, I'll find a reliable source and add 'em to the article(s). - Dravecky (talk) 22:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, why did you add a {{ref-improve}} tag to the above article? It alreay has many reliable sources. Mr.Kennedy1 talk 06:55, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
- All but of the references are from a single darts player database, presumably reliable, but additional sources from reliable third-party sources (news reports, books, and such) are required to demonstrate notability. I have no personal opinion of Mr. Robinson or darts players in general—the article simply came up when I clicked "random article" in a free moment looking to do a bit of article improvement. - Dravecky (talk) 07:59, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Ty B. Erickson, MD speedy deletion under a7 guidelines
Dr Erickson satisfies the notability guidelines that cause the speedy deletion code a7 not to apply in the current ways. Under professional affiliations most of those are appointed positions within major organizations that can number into the 50,000 range of highly specialized individuals. for example ACOG, which is the American Congress of obstetricians and gynecologists claims most practicing physicians are members and Dr Erickson as stated on the page that was deleted has held multiple appointed positions within that organization such as Chairman- ACOG Presidential Task Force on Patient Safety in the Office Setting 2008-2009. In my understanding that satisfies Wikipedia:Notability (academics) sub section "criteria" bullet 6. -- Viknor (talk) 21:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- That criteria states "The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society." The key bit is highest-level so if he was president of the entire American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists then he would qualify but simply chairing a task force on patient safety does not meet that criteria. - Dravecky (talk) 11:10, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
- I've restored the article and relocated it to User:Viknor/Ty B. Erickson so you many continue to work on the article while you search for references in reliable third-party sources that will establish notability. You'll note that I've removed the "MD" from the title as per Wikipedia guidelines on titles in article names and done a little format standardization. As you work on the article, it should read more like an encyclopedia article and less like a résumé. - Dravecky (talk) 11:27, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Leona Gage article
Please stop reverting my edit. I was IP number 72.152.248.83 and I edited that page on October 12, 2010. I wrote the entire article and included various sources. I would appreciate it if you do not revert it to the previous version (the previous version does not match up to the links, plus it does have misinformation regarding her life). Please don't revert unless it's obvious vandalism. Are you new to Wikipedia? I might be able to help you. Don't press "edit" unless it's vandalism.
Now, I have re-added the info that I wrote and inlcuded links. Write on my talk page if you want to discuss the article, instead of reverting the article to the previous version. --72.152.240.67 (talk) 15:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hello. No, I've been editing Wikipedia for a while now and I see that I'm not the one who finds issues with your edits. The recent batch, reverted by an editor other than me, was ungrammatical, inaccurate, and did not conform to Wikipedia's manual of style. - Dravecky (talk) 11:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
- Could you copyedit his most recent attempt at edit warring? Don't want to WP:BOOMERANG myself in less than 24 hours. --John KB (talk) 03:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
