Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Badr Hari, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moroccan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Senegalese people in Sweden

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Senegalese people in Sweden 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, society, or group that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

I believe you! It's just that we do have guidelines on what topics are notable, the most important being the general notability guideline. There are some special considerations for lists, but for an article like Sengalese people in Norway, we need to find sources which specifically discuss Senegalese people in Norway as a group, rather than trying to find such people and make a list out of them. If you're interested in these kinds of statistics, they might belong in articles like Lebanese diaspora for Lebanon, but it needs to be pretty brief. What's not kosher, though, is just lists of people when sources don't exist discussing such a list. Ovinus (talk) 03:44, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for disruptive editing. Sorry, but with all the myriad WP:CIR issues, and promises to remedy these, the latest edit warring does not inspire confidence. This is not taking it slow; this is not good WP:COMMUNICATION. Any further problems after this short block expires, are likely to be met with a much lengthier block, possibly even one set not to expire. You really should take the day to familiarize yourself with the basics and to really absorb their essence and ethos (I recommend starting with WP:5P, WP:SIMPLE, WP:PG). Good luck.

No original research

edit

One of the main problems with your "people from country x living in country y" articles is that they are built on original research. That is not allowed in Wikipedia. For the articles about people from Mali, Senegal, and Guinea who live in Sweden, you used data from Statistics Sweden (SCB) on the country of birth for people who were registered as living in Sweden in 2021. Not their ethnicity, or their religion, or their languages – only which country they were born in.

Let's take the article Senegalese people in Sweden as an example. The first sentence says "Senegalese people in Sweden are people from Senegal who live in Sweden or Swedish people of Senegalese descent or origin." Whose definition is that? The article continues: "As of 2021 according to Statistics Sweden, there are 1,125 Senegalese people living in Sweden." That is not true, not with the definition you provided in the first sentence. SCB says that there were 1,125 individuals registered as living in Sweden, who were born in Senegal. It does not say anything about "Senegalese descent".

Are you aware of the fact that it is illegal to register people's ethnicity in many countries, including Sweden? As an American, you are perhaps reading things that aren't there into the SCB figures, because you might take it for granted that "country of origin" implies ethnicity. I don't know if that is how you reasoned, but it might be. In any case, the 1,125 individuals include people who were born in Senegal by Swedish diplomats, business people and others who lived in Senegal at the time, but have since moved back to Sweden. And the lists of "notable individuals" overwhelmingly consisted of people who were born in Sweden (so not part of the figures you got from SCB), in some cases with one parent or even just one great-grandparent from the country you associated them with – saying that the Leionhjärta twins are "Senegalese in Sweden" is a case in point. And some people you included in the lists were born in Sweden but have since moved abroad!

Even more concerning are the claims about religion – there is no verification of your claims about the religious affiliations of the various groups. It does look like you looked at the majority religions in the countries of origin and just slapped that onto the groups you created articles about. That's not even original research, it's guesswork. --bonadea contributions talk 22:57, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, country of origin pretty much implies ethnicity. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 01:19, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that is how I reasoned it. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 01:20, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
OK. Do you now understand that you misunderstood what the source said, and that "country of origin" does not imply ethnicity? --bonadea contributions talk 17:22, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
In some way, shape or form, yes. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 17:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

More advice

edit

Going forward, to prevent further conflict and blocks, I strongly advise you familiarize yourself with WP:V and WP:RS - every edit that you make which adds content should be sourced to a reliable source. PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I’m trying the best I can. And the next time I ever create an article related to an ethnic group, I will discuss it with someone and gather resources before doing so. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 16:29, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
And I’m not perfect at all. I don’t want to vandalize Wikipedia at all, or violate any policies. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 16:30, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

The Wikipedia Adventure and a few other notes

edit

Hi @AmericanEditor350, I hope this finds you well and does not feel like piling on at all as that is not my intention. I have a few suggestions fo ways to If you have not done so already, I would highly recommend doing The Wikipedia Adventure as it is can be quite helpful. A good way I found to start getting into editing was to find pages in topics that interest you that haven't been updated in a while or are stubs and expand them out. I would recommend if you're editing biographies to start with those of non-living people. Biographies of living people have particularly high sourcing requirements as improperly sourced (and thus potentially inaccurate information) in a biography of a living person as outlined at WP:BLP can be very detrimental to that living person. If you have any questions please ping me using {{u|TartarTorte}} or User:TartarTorte in your reply. All the best! TartarTorte 12:09, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

You know, I am very interested in the African diaspora in Europe. Do you believe The Wikipedia Adventure can help me with this, TartarTorte?

AmericanEditor350 (talk) 14:08, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I would first do The Wikipedia Adventure to get your bearings a bit better including as it teaches things like WP:V which will be very helpful in writing future articles on the African Diaspora in Europe. I would recommend expanding a few articles after doing The Wikipedia Adventure as opposed to diving back into creating articles, but that last bit is just personal opinion. TartarTorte 15:48, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I just want to let you know that I’m currently taking a break from creating articles right now, TartarTorte. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 15:56, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Sounds good. I don't want to dissuade you from creating articles in the future, especially as it seems you have interests in topics that are not that widely covered on wikipedia, I just think that doing The Wikipedia Adventure and some article expansion will give you the background to be able to have your new articles pass page curation and not be taken to WP:AFD. Best of luck, and please feel free to ping me using {{u|TartarTorte}} whenever you need. TartarTorte 15:59, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
I understand, TartarTorte. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 16:00, 5 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Ethnicity in the opening sentence

edit

Hello AmericanEditor350, I have noticed that on this edit on Karim Sow, you added that the player is a "Swiss professional footballer of Senegalese descent". Please do not do this, because it is in violation of WP:ETHNICITY. Him being of Senegalese descent is not relevant to him being notable. Generally, we leave out ethnicity in the opening sentence, but we can mention it in a "Personal life" or "Early life" section, for example. Thank you, Paul Vaurie (talk) 08:48, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I only added that because he was in the category of Swiss people of Senegalese descent. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 15:41, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have added it. AmericanEditor350 (talk) 15:43, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
You can not add claims based only on which Wikipedia categories an article is in. --bonadea contributions talk 08:23, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

July 2022

edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Sarah Atcho, you may be blocked from editing. Have you already forgotten the information you got on 15 July? Do not add irrelevant text on ethnicity to article leads. Did you read WP:ETHNICITY as requested above?

You should probably avoid making any edits that have to do with ethnicity or related concepts. bonadea contributions talk 07:37, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Franck Semou, you may be blocked from editing. Another WP:ETHNICITY violation – one of several such violations. It's also unsourced, but you added it to a sourced sentence, which in itself is completely inappropriate. bonadea contributions talk 08:15, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
