Greg Glassman
I'm afraid I've nominated your article Greg Glassman for deletion consideration because it provides no evidence that this person is generally notable. Please take a look at the nomination at Votes for deletion and join the discussion there. The best way to ensure the article is not deleted is to supply references to reliable sources that show this person is known outside of a local area or narrow field. (I found one newsletter article about him on the web, but doesn't appear to be what Wikimedia considers a "reliable source".) Separate from the issue of notability, but also very important, is the issue of sourcing quotes. Wikiquote strives to identify published sources for its quotes, but none of the quotes currently in the article have any such sources. Adding sources might also assist in the effort to verify the subject's notability. Thank you for any assistance you can provide on this. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * There was an extensive Wiki page on Coach Glassman that was removed due to controversy.

 * NOTE: Entire Wikipedia article removed because it mangled my user talk page. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 15:55, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * This Google search will show the individual in question is internationally known:

 * I apologize for removing your pasting of the old Greg Glassman article from Wikipedia, but it seriously mangled my user page. It would more appropriate to create a user subpage of your own and provide a link to it. However, it doesn't seem like this is necessary, at least for the moment, because my casual inspection of the material suggests that it is exactly the same thing as the current Crossfit article.


 * The proper way to make your argument for keeping this article is to provide specific links to reliable sources, as defined by Wikipedia, so that editors may examine them. Making people sift through a Google search to determine what is and isn't an acceptable source may hinder your case.


 * When there is an active AfD at Wikipedia for a subject, like the AfD for Glassman's "Crossfit", Wikiquote tends to look to the vastly greater audience of Wikipedia for notability evidence. I recommend you make your best case there, and WQ will use that information. (You can, of course, post the same info here for easier access by WQ editors, just to be sure.)


 * There is an additional concern at WQ about sourcing the quotes, as many articles about people of insufficient notability tend to include large numbers of quotes with no published source (e.g., heard in direct conversation and not documented by any reliable source). Take a look at Anthony Daniels (psychiatrist) to see one way of providing sources for quotes. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 16:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Cylon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Cylon~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
