Cannon Mills Article

I have a lot of Kannapolis pictures on my hd, mostly from 1950-present day. Also have 8mega pixel photographs from the implosion on 3-24. I'm not sure how to get them to you or the article. Maybe I can assist you with the Cannon Mills article. Also just started the James William Cannon article...

Kannapolis and Cannon Manufacturing Company

Are you going to write the article on Cannon Mills and its successors? That would be great!

Local POV

You wrote the following at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/North Carolina Research Campus:

Non-notable is your opinion, from your obscured view through the ether. This is the largest event in the history of my city. If your life were here, and you were standing here, this would not be a question.

You're assuming that I share your opinion of local notability being the same as encyclopedic notability. I would never write an article about some business complex construction in Stockholm unless it was super-notable and neither would I vote to keep one. I don't consider merely locally important events or terms to be either relevant or appropriate for Wikipedia. Don't hesitate to put my convictions to the test if you ever come across an article about mall constructions (or whatever) in Stockholm.

Removal of A7 speedy template from article

Please do not remove speedy deletion flags from articles. If you do not beleive the article qualifies for A7 then add the hangon template instead and discuss on the talk page. Thanks. — orioneight (talk) 02:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, I don't know who deleted the article at Mike Caracciola, but it shouldn't have been deleted right away, since you added the hangon template. I'd say recreate the article but this time make it a stub that doesn't qualify for speedy deletion. — orioneight (talk) 02:53, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Yea, Wikipedia is getting increasingly writer/researcher hostile. I have real research to contribute, and I keep getting hassled... I need a shield or something  :-) Brad Spry 14:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

WP:NPA

As much as I appreciate being called an "asshole Wikipedia editor", this diff is probably not necessary :-/ Personal remarks like this aren't constructive at all. The Missile Command thing made me laugh though :-) — orioneight (talk) 17:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Are you going to recreate a stub at Mike Caracciola? The talk page is still there but there's no article . . .
